our military family, and removed
frpfahjb doty on earth, J. W. Abernatbgr,
of York Distriet, a member of Co.
08Fs Birttilfon. He was between
17 and 18 years of age, and took cold
from ezjk>3ure to the bad weather while
' cm ctoty eventuating in typhoid fever,
&VBB winch he died early on the mom-,
ingdf the 17fh instant.

bht las body was placed In a neat coffin,
and bos. sd in charcoal, then buried in
the Presbyterian Church Yard at Flor
ence, with funeral services by Rev. Sir.
Sarria. Our acquaintance with him
" waexhwt, but he was ever prompt in
the discharge of duty, and thus was esteemed;
to his~ relatives and friends we
extend our sympathies. .
There are many of our battallion in
the hospital, with fever, measles and
niumps, But most of them are doing
well, This, together with the loss of
pqr boyr* he. are reporting as they become
18 years of age, and the negligehte
of the proper parties in not sendin#
Forward the skulkers at home, has
rqctoed our ranks considerably, making
our duties themore secure, and preventing
thbsfe who reported promptly from
' getting home to sow wheat, and make
molaSSes. Some of these last were graciously
allowed.a few days to "fix up,"
bsttlfty areshowing how unworthy they
wer? of the favor bestowed. We have,
toa many "Orders" that are never enforced?and
too many loop-holes for
escape, if they were.
The principal topic of discussion here
iB ^lr. Boyce's letter. Many attribute
to him a desire for re-construction, which
they deprecate in the loudest terms,
while others think him "sound on the
goose," and his errors, more' of the head
than the heart. For my own part, I
believe, with Mr. Gobb, of Georgia,
that there are people meaner than the
Yankee^ and they are those who desire
to return into a Union with them.
In a former letter you made me say
that even soup was not dealt out, where
I wrote soap?for cleanliness this last
is indispensable; without it, we may
soon be infested like the Yankees, who
scatter their favors profusely among
those who brush against them. On a
suir-slfihy dsy they may be seen stripped
to the buffj picking the "boogers" off,
and occasionally we meet with a stray
one in our camp, where they receive the
milesian flea application, to wit:
^ an -irirismSn catches -a ftws by the ear,
Hcfctr-ki him. arvt euffi him. and beau hlni severe.
H?-ptack? out bis teeth, andVtamps hire on the floor,
SayUtgHit there, ye dlvtl, ye'll bite me no more."
The Yankees continue to take the
oath, and many of them are enlisting?
a lalge number are accumulating here,
but it is probable they will be sent to
% such plaoes as they may be made useful.
From the number of negroes working
on the fortifications here, the sooner the
better for'both of them.
An exchange of prisoners is anxiously
looked for?the Yanks could not be
better pleased, than we would to get rid
of them. A late paper stated that Gen.
Hardee was about to effect a general
exchanger bu* Dame Rumor has so exercised
her many tongues of late, we
fear there was no foundation for the last.
Several of the prisoners who were
brought here from Charleston, have died
of the yellow fever, and also several
members of the 25th Georgia Regiment
and Mfcj. Williams' Battalion, have
fallen victims. But, though we are not
"in the bloody field*" the. number of
dead vre daily see has a tendency to harden
our sensibilities, andwe can hardly

Irealize that a few months ago we.Votild
J have witnessed similar scenes with horror.
To see human beings -thrown, by
their own comrades, like slaughtered
hogs, intb a Wagon, and buried a few
inches from earth's surface, amid scoffs
and jeers, is heart-sickening, and yet
how can we sympathise with an enemy,
so lost to all delicaoy-of feeling among
themselves! "Bad luck to the Dutch,
if the devil don't understand his jabt>er,"
says one, as he drops his load of
mortality on the edge of a ditch; "here
goes a hungry sargeant," says another;
"right dress d?n you for a corporal,"
as the inanimate body is pressed close
to its neighbor?these expressions.!

Mr. Editor:?TJtte siege 01 tne city
is kept up regularly, but slowly. On
Friday last, some shots were'exchanged
between the batteries of Moultri^ and
Morris Island. Some shells are thrownat
Sumter from Black Island. On
Sunday night the firing ceased, and du- *
ring the day, Monday, there were but
very few shots from any point, there
was quite a calm at night. During
Tuesday there was scarcely a gun to be
heard, the day was cool and rainy.
This morhing the clouds broke away
and we have had a pleasant day. During
the-calm of the past few days, the
enemy, no doubt, were at work, as a
jin (a structure for mounting cannon)
was discovered this mbrnmg, on their
fortifications. Batteries Bee and Moultrie
opened fire- on the eneirfy to stop
their operations. A considerable number
of shells were thrown by bur batteries
and a goodly number were soon
returned by the enemy. No casualties
are reported here and but little damage
done.
- The fever continues in the city, and
(is termed by some Black Tongue fever^
two cases are said to have occurred at
Mount Pleasant, none here. Diarrhoea
is still prevalent here.
There" is but little news of importance.
The accounts from Virginia and the
West, continue favorable. Greater
achievements on our part are daily looked
for in the West.
i * _ .. W.
Thd' elections in the Northern States
are creating a good deal of excitement,
and the decision of the Presidential elec-.
tion is looked to with a great degree of
anxiety by all parties. Various are the
opinions of the result thereof. Jt is
said by some that if McClellan be elected,
peace will speedily come, others say
that he would prosecute the war with
greater vigor than heretofore, and others
are of the opinion that if Lincoln
be elected the war will shortly terminate,
as there will be a strong opposition to
his further administering the affairs of
the Government?time will soon solve
the interesting question. Shadows of
peace and intervention by foreign powers,
have often lulled us as a people and
caused a relaxation on the part of many.
In the prosecution of the work before
us?the promises of. peace by reconstruction
of the Union, foreign intervention,
are but as vapors that vanish
in the distance. A firm, decided and
unwavering stand, on our part, will only
secure the peace so earnestly looked for.
Let -all'doubts of our success be banished
from-every mind, and resolve to stand
by our rights to the last extremity.?
We as a nation have sacrificed a great'
deal?have suffered much. Shall we,
after all this, give up the contest and
say to those who have proved barbarians
of the deepest dye, we will embrace
you agaia as brethren, in one
common Government, and pass all the
cruelties of the war by, in forgetfulness.
By no means can this be the case. We
never can again unite our destinies with
' those who have laid waste our country,
destroyed our property, brutally treated
and murdered our citizens. Our'
i: 1 ~ ft - \i 11
reputation, our "honor, our rights and
liberties are near and dear unto us, and
must be respected and maintained. Obr
cause is just, our rights are all we ashed
at first, and is all we now want, let
us depart in peace, and that will at once
close the contest. But c o-er cion is contrary
to &mthetn feeliDg and opinion.'
It stiifr up that spirit <Jf self-protection
and preservation, that ha? ever characterised
us as a people.

From the Petersburg Express, Slat Instant.
Froin tibe Front. .
The enemy made some demonstration on
onr extrtmd right yesterday morning, with
oavalry and infantry, as though intending
to make an attaok, but in the end it amounted
to nothing and so died away.?
The enemy has been quite active at this
point for two or three days, and an advance
has been anticipated but it has not yet
come. It may be made on any day, and
it may not be made for several weeks.
We begin somewhat to doubt whether
Grant will make any serious movement an
tenor to toe .residential election next
month. The success of his master hangs
upon an uncertainty, and Grant, if he is a
headstrong butcher, is too sagacious, wO
take it, not to be oonsoions of & great uncertainty.of
success in any attempt he may
make to capture Petersburg and Richmond.
The visit of the Yankee Secretary of War,
and seven! other dignitaries of the Government
to City Point, is ominous of something.
It may mean immediate battle, or indefinite
quiet But there is some hidden object
in it. ' * *.
We b&ve information that a considerable
force of Yankees has moved to City Point
and tbenioO elsewhere, within the last day
or two.' The object of this movement is
believed to be well known at headquarters,
and proper steps have been( or will be, taken
to meet it '

EHfefctoF Lincoln's Election.
The Etohfflond Shtam.in.er considers that
sortfe doubt still remains as to the result of
ttl&Y&dbt State Elections at the North;
and ah regards the result itself tending to
sfi6W a disposition on the pdrt of the North
to ebnfihne Lttdofn in power, the Exdmirnr
thinks that if the people of the North
chocwe to re-elect Lincoln, they thereby
pfctittSft ft- decree eiJttbBArofe the fodependenoe
of the South. The Exaikiner
nf? that we on briny larger armies fn the
fiiM to iimxdh than any other
Northern President, and this continuance in
power will inspire every Southern breast
with th? resolve to win independence as the
only alternative to extermination.
Among the host of reasons why we cannot
live in Union with the Yankees, in the
opinion of the Examiner) which in this
particular, is quite correct, is that we have
a perfect abhorrence of the purchase and
sale and branding white men like negroes
or muler. That the reader'utay properly
understand what is. meant by this^ We
extract file following from the Examiner's
article:
It has been the practice for a good while,
in the Yankee camps of instructions, to
kmnd with a. n?rtain mark hfitween the
Bhoulders such recruits and substitutes as
are rejected, but lately, to prevent frauds
and cheek the trade in substitutes, (who desert
with the view of substituting again,)
;it hps has been deemed expedient in that
oountry to brand also, with another mark or
letter, such subatitues and recruits as are
acoepted j so that the greater pah of Grant's
army will soon consist of branded cattle?
a pretty sort of herd to take Biohmond! ;

Fearful Mortality.-?A letter received
by a gentleman in Wilzningtpn states
that there had occurred in Newborn within
twenty-four hours?that is to say; in one
day and night, one hundred and nineteen
deaths from yellow fever. This is fearful,
