Or Tuesday evening last, a lot of aboot forty fine dressed Yankees, cap* V?* iltA T^vTlifIJVDMD WAQnhnA flllQ tlUCU UJ WUV ivwiuuvu wu*? place, and were quartered with their ragged, less fortunate brethren, who will doubtless soon reduce them to their own condition. The same night, 149 reached here from Columbia, where they had for some time sojourned, after leaving Anderson?in their own graphic terms, they were "exchanging heaven fonhell." This is quite a compliment to our Capitol, and its "angelic choir," when "even their enemies praise them." The; negroes who have been working on the fortifications here, having concluded the labor assigned to them, are sent home. These from your District, .who are ordered out this month, will ' probably be assigned tP like duty,, near Columbia; if the ifork is as well done .there, and as promptly, as it is at this point, under the superintendance of * Maj. Warley, the good citizens will feel more security than they anticipated in the "establishment of an entrepot for Yankee prisoners'' in their midst. We hope they have become reconciled to "their fate," and ours. ; Among tho guard who brought the blue bellies, were several of our York , neighbors? * Stinson, and Floyd, Garwood and Boyd, who looked as though they could stand the campaign for. a good time to come they wear well?thongh a furlough home would doubtless improve their complexity^. We are continuing to furlough as many of our company to gather their corn and sow wheat, as our numbers wiD allow; it seems that "public necessity" does not require the -Farmer and Mechanic at home, at all, if we judge -from the details, that have been granted by Gen. Chesnut, and Maj. Melton.? We will not say that the general impression of the camp is, that undue influences have been encouraged, and that the "Enrolling officer" has made himself obnoxious from favoritism, and personal animosities, but it is deemed justly a part of "the chronicle" to state that such accusations are loudly made throughout this camp, and in letters from home, and there are none to contradict them. One thing is certain, and your correspondent says this on his own authority, if the order of Gen. ' Cooper was enforced, the Enrolling offices would be filled by men who have ( been wounded in service, those who are over fifty, or such as are really unfit for other services. 9 While on this subject, it may be as well to notice the great outcry by some of the press against the President, because he does not think it right to ex-, empt Printers, Editors, &c., 'as a class.' Nor is it right that any elates shonld be exempted as such. Your own memory will recall the fact, that some six months ago circulars were sent to the several newspaper publishers throughout the country, requiring the number, ages, &c., of the parties necessarily engaged in publishing the several papers.-? Doubtless, the return has been startMsg, especially to those who know something of the press, and its acquirements. X proper force has always been "detailed," and "War Editors," who ait in judgment, and decapitate Generals as fast as old Abe himself, shonld be the last to insist on exemption "as a class"?-to have a carte blanche to fill up when the Enrolling officer, or that other humbug, the Medical Board, comes up, with the name of some "dem'd clever feBer." The Printing office should not be made an asylum for those whose places are properly in front. The profession is an honorable one, but should have no special privileges?those who profess to expound the law, and enforce its observance on others, should themselves set thp example of strict and cheerful obedience. A sufficient .number will always bo detailed for newspaper and ordinary job work, but ?a ?. ; ;? ?-?f? it bajay be necessary that "Southern hi Literature" may rest on its laurels for tl a while, and such firms as'West & John- hi son discontinue their re-prints of the gi new novels of the day; works of ne- is cessity will give them ample employ- tc ment, and they can well spare the in- fe numerable proof-readers, clerks and hi agents, now about to be conscripted a- si mong the-"working cla0bs." Wednesday was strictly observed, the usual quiet of the Sabbath prevailed, and services were performed by the Rev. R. A. Lesterr, at Headquarters, * - 1 J . lJ.

A Catholic Priest n occasionally visits the prisoners, hut ^ we have not learned how his kind min- ? istratidne have been received; he doubtless has the approval of his own con- M science, that he has done his duty; and ^ that if in the hour of adversity they would turn their thoughts oh high, like ap the Good Shepherd, he would lead tlie at way. We have no Chaplain at this ey post, but a week does not often pass er that we do ndt have two, or three ser mons from passing ministers. There is preaching at Florence on Sundays, ^ but as ''frpass" is required, the Beserves, generally, do not care to be under any obligation to the Georgia Commandant for one; a minister 'in camp' will always meet good cheer, and a kind- ^ welcome. Since writingtho above, an appoint- dn ment has been made here, for the Bey. * M. D. Wood, of York, on next Sunday ^ week, should he find it in his conveni- ^ ence to attend. It is proposed to unite ours with Col. Williams' battalion, in a r?i call on that gentleman to a chaplaincy SH( ?whether he will accept or not, is a matter for the future, but that the call ^ will be made, with great unanimity, gje seen, an fait accompli. 4' We hope to ca see him here on Sunday week anyhow. ^e, .The rail and Schedule at Florence, 0TI does not seem to suit any parties trav- ^ elling in that direction.

We, the Re- gjs serves, have no right to complain of any ^ imposition, or inconvenienoe, but the fr( following excerpt from the Charleston gp Courier may prove more effectual: wa "Citizens having oooasion to leave or m( enter a oar between Kingsville and Flor- . ence, or families residing or visiting in that region, suffer somff inconvenience which we 14' suppose could Asily be remedied, without raj trouble, by adjusting the sohedufes of the ^ roads oonoerned so as to make closer con- j neetiou at Florenoe.

E. , FEOM SULLIVAN'S ISLA2TD. November 1% 186d.', Mr. Editor: Since my last, the shelig of the city has been regularly kept >,- day and night. On Sunday night, man and his wife were killed on Galtun street by a shell, they were found ad. in bed. next mornincr." The Yel ' ' V w Fever has abated in the city, no iw cases reported. The cool weather 11 in a short time, no doubt, free the ace from-the dreaded calamity. We ve had some very cold weather here, id last Friday was a cold, disagreeable y, with high winds. Fort Sumter is casionally shelled from Black Island d Morris Island, and a few are thrown different points of Chis Island almost ery day. On Friday night, a schoonladen with cotton and tobacco attempt* 5 to run out, was driven ashore by the gh winds, and run aground near ,Fort ctultrie, and was wrecked. * The crew caped. Early on Saturday morning, e enemy seeing the vessel, commenced heavy fire on it from their batteries, d from one of the Monitors. About I o'clock, noon, the vesBel was discovad to be on fire, and continued to hum ring the evening and at night.* A 1 osiderable portion of the cotton, about e hundred bales, and a large quantity the tobacco whs salved. On Sunday >rning, tie house' occupied by Capt. lett, of Co. B, was burnt down. He oceededin saving his trunk,' books, pers and bedding, everything else was stroyed. One H&f the Lieutenants, teping in the same.house, barely esped with his life, and lost everything, tng in the room where the fire broke t. was awakened hist in time to es ' . I* r [>e. % The fire was accidental. It " o;inatedfrom some loose cotton that d been put in the room. About 12 dock at night, the Captain find Lieulant had, in accordance with orders % >m Headquarters, went .with the comny to the wrecked vessel to save part the cargo. Some tobacco was sered, which was to be ^ivided among 3 men of the company. It was taken the Captain's quarters far safe keep5. A small lot of loose cotton was io brought up for the purpose of maig a Mattress. ' Having been taken >m the burning bales, there was' still e in it when placed in the house, but & not noticed. About 4 o'clock in the )ruing, a tstjnuiiei vu pvtnt uiduovoicu 3 fire, and awakened theCaptain and eutenant. ^The flames , spread very wdly, it being perfectlyoalm, no other ilding was injured, there were some lers very close. ' ' On last night a party of Federal prisers from Florence, ninety-six in numr, arrived here, they had taken the th of allegiance, and will be mustered ;o service at some point, their desti- ' tion I have not learned. It is also ported that four or five hundred jnore ve, at the same place, taken: the oath . I wiU soen follow their comrades to he jpoint for enlistment. Those that ived here are in a bad condition ; in ;s and. barefooted, they'appear to re undergone much suffering from posure and filth. I learned that over t thousand have died sjnce their Mril at Andersonville, Ga., and during sir stay at Florence, the deaths at the ter place averaging about fifty per y, and at the former place, from eigh to one hundred per day. The term service with the most of them, was axly out, and the Lincoln Governint thought, no doubt, that an exange for them would not increase the ength of their armies very much, srefore they left them to the mercy the people of the South, little caring tat became of them, as they had been ed as mere tools to wage this warfare d as they were not profiting them ich, they were cast aside, without any ow of feeling or mercy on their part, tch a Government will not long endur e at can entice by fair promises- and tuitiesj thousands of foreign citizens ;o their armies, and then cast them off suffer and die like the beasts of the Id. Our Government has used great ertions to reader those who fall into eir hands as comfortable as possible, imanity has ever been exercised to?ds them. Those who. have taken 3 oath appear ^.tisfied with tho change, their condition is greatly improved, d they . may add to our 'strength in is contest. We have many foreignlin pnr ranks who have fought bravefrom the commencement of this war, d make good soldiers.
