On Sunday, according to appointment had the pjeaeure of a visit from Rev. M. D. Wood, of Yorkville.

' The absence of telegrams from the Columbia papers, leave us in the dark as to the\ews of the day, and consequently, rumors of every description are a$pat. The ''reliable gentleman" who is always on hand at Kingsville, furnishes us a choice variety; but we would rather have the "telegraph news" even though one-jialf of it is lies, as usual- j We commenced shipping Yankees for exchange, to Savannah, last Sunday, but after two batches of, about 1,000 each had been sent off, and another set prepared, Gen. Hardee cut it off short, and our Yankee friends found that they had "halloed before they got out of the woods," that <4there is many a slip * 'twixt the cup and the lip," but they " impudently- profess to believe that Sherman will relieve them shortly. * The subject of conscripting negroes for the army, is still a source of discus' sion?some men who have willingly sent 5 theirsons, shed tears when their niggers 5 are even sent to the coast, and whine r out in their lamentations, that the soldiers should be hired to do the work on fortifications, behind which they are to * _ _ "I 1 I 1.L ?. nnl/llAWR raise corn ana speculate on wie oumieio families. It would never do to let the , pegroes fight our battles; but it will clo> j and it must be done, to make the owners I of the negroes support the soldiers who are fighting for them. They must take up arms themselves, too, before thiSwar 1 is over?to acquire great and triumphant results, we must combine all the energies and resources of the country. We must rally round the Government, and sustain it freely with our blood and our treasure. This is no common war between nations for separate national interest only, but it is a war of races, involving two distinct orders of civilization. Our success is Yankee ruin, but theirs is not'only our ruin, but our deep degradation and infamy. There is no alternative. Better far for all of us to sink down and fill freemen's graves, our swords in hand, rather than subjugated, to survive and wear in peace the chains of slaves and the livery of bondsmen. We have suffered nothing yet compared with what was suffered in the first way for independence. Augusta, Savannah, Charleston, Camden and "Ninety-Six" were all then British ports, and Georgia and South Carolina were occupied almost entirely for nearly three long dreary years; yet a heroic ancestry rose from our valleys, and descended from k our hills, trusting in God, and resolved to perish rather than survive as slaves, and drove the enemy from their soil.? If we are no| a bastard race our freedom is our: own, even if every male has to sleep on his arms^ and every female wear at her side a gleaming dagger. It is a great mistake * to suppose* that this war is to be settled by long range cannon or heavy shell. If not by negotiation., even if our fortifications fall, and our towns are taken, we will come at last to close quarter's, with the battleaxe and bowie-knife, and fight under the black flag in every glen and swamp, with the watchword, "war to the knife, and from the knife to the hilt." Let the speculator in the sufferings of his country be looked upon with loathing and detestation. Let no man hug his wealth to his bosom m this trying hour, lest he fall like Ananias. Without credit, without currency, without pay, we must W. fight this war out to the bitter end. Let all come up to the rallying cry of the President, and their country and all will be safe. There is no doubt of final success, if the people rise as one man and stand by the Govemnient and cotfetry in thisgreat emergency. If there are errors, or if there is bad judgment, hold all to a strict account, and settle it hereafter; at present let us strengthen our armies, and see that justice is done to the needy families of our soldiers at home. Our enemies are educated savages, foreign mercenaries, and pious knaves; first cleave them down, as they fiercely thunder at our gates, and after that turn and put our domestic affairs and households in order. Let us then remember those who have fought our battles^or left families to share with us the boon they have richly purchased ; let the rich mafi'account for hip ill-stored gains, and a grateful country never forgetthe friends or enemies they tried-in their adversity. But I have got'off my beaten track, and near the close of my allotted space. I have mere room to suggest to the sitting Legislature the passage of a bill, to ignore all military titles in home circles; there are so many Colonels and Majors f Jon the peace establishment that it is hard to tell who "swore with us in Flanders besides the editors are getting to be "dear Colonel," and some of these I know from childhood, and venture, at iV. ? * A_" 1 AI ?7 J _ A_n uit* uibb inai, mey ovum nut ten uu which side of their portly bodies a sword should properly hang.

From East Tennessee* Richmond, November 30.?A special dispatch to the Whig^ from Mossy Creek, 28th, via Joaesboro', 30th, says Sherman, ordered every house in East Tennessee to be bnrned and the country desolated.

Both houses have already passed a military bill througktwo readings. The bill gives power to the -Governor, at his discretion, to send all from sixteen to fifty, not exempt by our Sta$e law, any where beyond'the limits of the State. T^e House passed the bill without regard to time," but the Senate amended the bill by inserting, <4not exceeding sixty days at one time," and striking out two sections having reference to the creation, pay, &c., of a Brigadier General. On considering the ai mendments and alterations made by the Senate, the House refused to concur in the amendment as to the limiting the time of service out-pf the State, and agreed to striking out the provision for i another General. And thus stands the, bill at the close of the first week'?legislation. The three members from York present on the vote on the second read- j ing, voted together on the question of limiting the time of service out of the State, which was offered as an amendment to the bill as it came from the Military Committee. On the question to strike out the section creating the Brigadier General, two voted affirmatively, and one in the negative. The priter of this does not believe in sending sixteen-years-old bpys beyond the control of their fathers, mothers,-and teachers, especially when the "gneat majority of the fathers are in serviceThe election of Commissioners in Equity is over.

We shall, however, see about the close of next week. Yours, &c. Monday, Dec. 5. Since my letter of Saturday, it seems a change has already come o'er the Governor's election. General Garlington'sfriendsinow affirm, he is strongly in the field, and a report is abroad, that General McGowan will reach here to day, and his friends expect to place him in the canvass with strong hopes of success. TJie Military Bill has passed both Houses, and has the shapte in which it left the-House of Representatives. Yours, &c. FROM FORTlSTJMTRB. December 18,1864. Mr. Editor:?Having for a time, changed my place of rendezvous, you can account for the change of the heading. 1 am here on detaehed service,for a short period, and will give you some sketches from this place.. This fort will occupy a conspicuous position in the history of our country?having with-. stood the most ierriffic and lengthy bolt-! bardmont of any fgrt or place' in the annals of past history. The present appearance and strength of this modern Gibraltar has undergone great changes. The wallsj)ear marks of the huge iron bolts, balls and shells, that,. have been used to demolish them. Viewed from without, at the various points of -observation, it would appear that the place was not a very formidable on?, as the walls have, in many plaggSj been broke? through and present rather & .demolished appearanoe; but tbe interior shows that by skill, perseverance and labor, this place has become impregnable.? The huge bolts, balls and shell thrown by the enemy, can never level its walls so as to gain an easy entrance; and when they shall attempt an assault, they Tjjll find it "a hard road to travel."? Guns are in position where needed, and all things else in' their proper places, ready to receive a visit from Abraham's embassadors.

The soldiers appear to enjoy their meals well, especially those of us who have not had the opportunity, before, of partaking of the luxuries, which have almost gone out of use in our country. The duty here being heavy and more laborious than at other points, and the men being on guard a greater part of the time, require good 3ub8tantial diet. There has been but little shelling here since our arrival? i few are thrown almost every day, but ao accident has occurred. There was pretty heavy shelling on Sullivan's Isand last Friday. Some houses were struck. On Sunday night last a vessel . was wrecked near Moultrie, and a heavy fire was opened on it by the enemy.? Daring Monday a good many shells were fired at Sullivan's Island.
