FBOM THE BESEBVE FOBCES.
Camp Prison,

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,

to a large ami attentive auiucuw. ??v ^
have many good singers in our Battal- ^
ion, so nightly the h&rp is tuned to
songs of praise, strangely in contrast ?
with the large number in the stockade, ^
where ribald jesting and the vulgar ,0.
song ?k>ne prevail. 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,

take the freight train, with a passenger 0f
or box car attached and reach Colum- ca
bia at 12 m. where they can remain 'till ^
sundown, submitting to the most exor- ^
bitant charges for carrying boxes from ^
one point to another. 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(

region, suffer somff inconvenience which we 14'

neetiou at Florenoe. As the oars now run,
the train from Charleston reaohes Florence
at 10 30 P. M., more than an hour after on
the passage* of the train from Wilmington he]
to Kingsville. That this hour is not need- oa.

from the fact that thin train, anticipating m

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. Let him who
willing to share the.toil with us in
is struggle, have our .protection and
re, and let all who prove true and sinre
in our cause, share tho benefit there- ?

of; anddet him who will torn against
or desert our cause suffer the penalties
due him, he he native or foreigner. Ax
enemy at home is the worst of enemies,
and-he who will not m any way, by hit
service in ranbs/or by his means, ix
support of the needy, and for the public
good, is hot worthy of the name oi
a citizen of the Southern Confederacy,
and should not enjoy the benefits
thereof.
. The latest accounts in regard to the
Presidential election in -the North err

feels that he has been weighed in the
