Chester and Fairfield, (two from the first named District J left thefr respective homes for oamp service, reaohfng this point, via Columbia, on the rail road, the morniDg of the 17th, nnd proceeded to encamp on Sbttlbt's nlj opposite the city of Aygnsta, ' " Georgia, where htey' now are, with Major Mexriwethar'&Battalion, who-had preceded them a km weeks. ? . . Otrpfeoe of Encampment, is high and . dry,- of oodrse, with a pretty grove of nat-'re oak, but as we are without tents, the leafy canopy can only protect as from the noon -day can, while we are left at the mercy of ?tte pitiless stenn." A good spirit pervades (be satire camp, an<f notwithstanding sev-end nnfjdepdly showers, the inconveniences We meet with, are horoe with "a patient 4*ig " 'he cuisine of the camp is good . ?we draw bacon, beef, floor, meal, Bait, riot, molasses, (rather soar) and vingpar, if we had vessels to pot it in. We are short of frying pans, so we have to get up a stew, and find ourselves, being minus spoons, "eating scop with a fork." On the whole, "the boys" are dofag very well, and the "iron grays1' are only beginning to think of the good old dames at home, and their anground sngar cane. I have no time to enter into details, er to moralize now, bnt will take other oooasion to elaborate, with yonr permission. I would suggest-that the good mothers at home "write often." On Thursday evening last, President Davis, with his personal staff, passed through on his way to the front, and made a speech in Angusta. He said that Atlanta conld be, and most, be recovered?he said lots oj other things, We did not hear, as we were on this side of the river, bat we hope the present visit will he the harbinger of better tidings than has been usual on such State occasions. The impression, and the general wish seems to be, that General Beauregard will be called to the front?we saee lots of material in Augusta that Gov. Brown has not jet "brought to the fire," and them, too, Who while professing a supremo contempt for Confederate money, have the usurer's eunning to "make the most of it." Maj. Gill's Battalion seems a little family, which while maintaining discipline, entertain the kindest feelings for its chief.? The two battalions are under ihe command of A. A. G. Blanchard, an old ^rmy offioer, in service, I mean, and appaiuuily a r clever man, as be is au efficient officer.? We hope Gov.

September 22, ,1864. \ Mr. Editor'':?The firing noticed in my !last at Batlery'Marshal, was Some of the eaemy*s transports that had "been to Long Island, removing some runaway negroes ' from that Island; in returning a few shots ; were fired at Battery Marshal; the report of the enemy landing in foroe at that point was a mistake. Daring the past week the shelling pf the city has increased, the firing ^ij. I on 'Sumter bus also been intireasea, doc wira the asaal effect. The enemy, for sometime past, have been at work on Battery Gregg, oar sharp shooters, for several days past, have stopped their operations by their Wellaimed missiles. So annoying has been this fire that a Yankee seldom lifts his head above the parapets. This is good work for small arms, a distance of fourteen hundred yards. Bat few shells have been thrown here daring the past -week. A large namber of Yankee prisoners have lately been brought to the city and- are stationed at the race coarse, theTe are about five thousand in number. A part of "them were removed last week to Monnt Pleasant On Tuesday About three hundred were removed from that point to this Island. They have been brought here'to work ou the fortifications, it being their own choioe, they preferring ' to work rather than stay at the race course, n as a good many ara dying at that place.? Among the number that were brought here there were a good many who appeared to be quite young, probably seventeen and eighteen ^earsof age, this looks like YanJceedom has been, pretty well drained to raise troops. The Yellow Fever-is said to be raging in the oity at thuTtiine, it is confined to the East end of Calhoun Street, and originated by passengers from Nassau.

In a past issue of your paper, my name was presented jo the voters of York District, for a seat in the nest Leg islattfte. Thanking my friends fof a_ nomination, unsolicited on my part, I acocpt it, and if it b8 the will and choice of the people to honor me with a civil position, I-will take, pleasure In serving them.1 In response to a question propounded by "York Distriot"?I answer, I am opposed to having peace on any terms, short of the recognition of the independence ' of our Government. I presume no one is desirous of -continuing a war, almost without a parallel in the history of the world, fowthe hardships, sufferings and privations, it has entailed upon us; oould we terminate it withont sacrificing prinoiple, interest?everything. "To have peaoe, b|^d on any othcrlerms, would be tantamount to a consent on our part, to. reconstructing a Union, administered by a party, hostile to us befcrs we seceded, but now embittered against us on account of their inability to subdue us?we ' would be forced to deny that a State possessed either sovereignty or rights*-we would be forced to forget the many.of our kindred, who have already fallen in this war, and to harmonize and fraternize with an enemy, who have left monuments of their barbarities and orueltieB in every Southern State. 1 This and more wo cannot consent to do; and South Carolina, the first State to act, should bo tho lost to agitate the question. Very respectfully, your obd't servant, john m: white. KrarJESJtKaHiw ? The army postoffioe for Gen. Hood's army has boon opened ?t Griffin, Ga. ?

Letter from Secretary Trenholm. ?Mr. Sanford, Confederate States Depositary at Montgomery, Aid., has famished the Advertiser, for publication, the following letter from the Secretary of the Treasury, which was written to correct a misapprehension as to.the cause of delay in furnishing new issue to exchange for the old: Treasury Department, C. S. A., ' Richmond, Sept. 8, 1864. T. tSandforcC, Esq., Dopositary, Montgomery, Ala. V Sir : Your Jetter of the 30th -ult,, has been reoeived, and! am very glad of the opportunity it affords mo to correct a misapprehension into which you have fallen, j in common with all who have addressed similar complaints to this Department. It is that of supposing that the old issues are exhausted from motives of policy. This, is not the case. The mechanioal appliances at opr command arc limited and inadequate to supply notes fast enough, for the pay of arrearages that accrued during the time .that elapsed between the demonetising of Hie old notes, and the preparation of the new j for the discharge of current expenses, and for the exohaoge of the old currency. Had the Treasury been abundantly supplied with notes, the plan of sending promptly an adequate amount to the depositaries to effect the exchanges would have been the first put in force, but this was not the case. As the next thing, and the only method of ascertaining where remittances were "most wanted, and in what sums, the regulation was,adopted, of which yon complain, viz: ts^xeoeive and reoeipt for the notes,.and send them here to be exeh&nged. As a farther convenience and protection to the holders of the old notes, the regulation was adopted authorizing the taking of them on loan, and in payment for bonds of ^he five hundred million loan. . You will see that all these measures are, in the interest of the holders of the old issues, and intended to overcome, as far as possible, difficulties that were unavoidable under the provisions of the law. . I hope this explanation will enable you to allay in the public mind, and produce % sense of security in holding, or using the notes. Every effort is being made to exchange them as rapidly as possible. Very respectfally, G-. A. THENHOLM, Secretary of Treasury. The Position.?A few days since we remarked that Sherman was running eight - ? i or ten trains a day ot provisions into Atlanta. The Macon Intelligencer says hfe is feceiving over two hundred car loads of provisions daily. This is one of the beautiful fruits of the "armistice." But what has been done in this matter cannot be undone. All we can now do is to vigorously prepare for the future. If the Confederate authorities at Richmond pass a few more weeks of ease and begligence, and refuse to take proper measures and steps for the defence of Georgia, Sherman wiH succeed in housing^himself in Atlanta, and will' not only be in a strongly fortified position, but will havo provisions enough on hand to make it impossible to Btarve him out.
