promising young aen. Robert J. Tal*

and William Porter, of Company P, on

their friends believed, from their youth

He the other was interred in the cemetery
of the Presbyterian Church, at
this place:
"Oh mourning parents! to whose hearts
E'en peans of triumph bring
A wailing sound, a dirge like note,
And memory's fatal sting;
Look upward: midthc hosts of Heaven
Your hero loved la there.
StUl battling In hU country's cause,
Mow with angel's prayer.
Oh when I would of comfort speak,
All palsied seems my tongue,
And gehn pitying repeats,

On Sunday, according to appointment
had the pjeaeure of a visit from Rev.
M. D. Wood, of Yorkville. He preached
before Gill's and Williams' battalions,
at 10? o'clock ; at the .church .in
Florence, at 3, and before us again at
$ight; he remained over night at the
benpxtatte residence of Mr. McCown,
and the nfext day preached at the hospital,
where he had t^e melancholy task

en all hands, and his eloquent
discourses were much admired, mad it is

organized ?Bto a, Regiment, and not in a
transition state at pfesent, measures
would he immediately taken to secure
his invaluable services as Chaplain?as
it is> we can only look hopefully forward
to another visit. The York companies

' 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

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

hard to tell who "swore with us in Flanders

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. The
union citizens neia an indignation meeting
in Knozville, of which they notified Sherman,
bat he refused to rescind the order.
This information is derived from Union
citizens from Knozville. There is gre^t
excitement among the people.
Current rumor says Cumberland Gap is
evaouted and the troops gone to Knozville.
Richmond, Nov. 30.?An official dispatch
says Pickett reports that three monitors
and the land batteries engaged battery
Howlett yesterday. One monitor was struck 1
several times by oar guns. Two monitors 1
have withdrawn. No casualties on our side. f

Columbia, S. C., Dec. 8,1864.
The Legislature of the State is at
work. 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$e
law, any where beyond'the limits of the
State. T^e House passed the bill without
regard to time," but the Senate amended
the bill by inserting, <4not exceeding
sixty days at one time," and
striking out two sections having reference
to the creation, pay, &c., of a Brigadier
General. On considering the ai
mendments and alterations made by the
Senate, the House refused to concur in
the amendment as to the limiting the
time of service out-pf the State, and agreed
to striking out the provision for
i another General. And thus stands the,
bill at the close of the first week'?legislation.
The three members from York
present on the vote on the second read- j
ing, voted together on the question of
limiting the time of service out of the
State, which was offered as an amendment
to the bill as it came from the
Military Committee. On the question
to strike out the section creating the
Brigadier General, two voted affirmatively,
and one in the negative. The
priter of this does not believe in sending
sixteen-years-old bpys beyond the
control of their fathers, mothers,-and
teachers, especially when the "gneat majority
of the fathers are in serviceThe
election of Commissioners in
Equity is over. K. G. Billings is elected
for Lancaster? H. L. McGowan,
without opposition, for Laurenh; and
D. Goudelock, withoitf opposition,, for
Union. X give these,-and not the whole
list: because Wcnow that some of your
.-t % ,
readers are acquainted with thepersona
named.
The feeling against the existing laws, j
regulating the employment of negroes
on the coast, is vp$y strong here.?
There will be some great modification,
or i am greatly deceived. * ;
The contest for Governor will'likely
he confined to General Preston, and1
Judge McGrath; but you are aware that
things like this are uncertain and
changeable. 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.

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

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. Some

THE FIGHT NEAE GjJAHAMVrLLE. 1
The fight of Wednesday, near Graham- 1

enemy. It lasted six hours, from 11 in the !

the enemy Tetreated, leaving over 500 dead |
and wounded on the field, besides those;
earned off. Our Ibss was estimated from

three miles from the village of Grahamville. ,
At last accounts the enemy jiad fallen baok ]

together with seyeral member? of his ]

we were happy to learn that the report

These ^partem extend from^a
point near the rtger pronnd bey op d the
Wejdon Railroad, some distance in the

oonntryJn this seotion has long sinpe teen
thinned out by the demand for fires, and
the bnilding of winter^narters will no doubt
clean out all the remaining timber of any
value.
Some fifteen or twenty deserters came into
our lines night before last, claiming the
protection offered them in the provisions of
Order No. @?>, wbmh every one of them will
receive, from the Government. They bring
no information, except that thousands of
their epmr&des are awaiting favorable op-'
portunities to follow them.
JTJm picket firing night before Last was
more than nsnally heavy. This cootined
firing^t night, which is kept np very rapidly
o? fche part of the enemy, is to prevent
desertions from their ranks.

Colds.?When 1 man begins teoough,
as the result of a oommoo cold? it is the I
effort of nature herself attempting the otire,
which she will effeot In her own time and
more effectually than, any man pan do, if
she is let alone and herinstinpta cherished.
What are these instincts ? She abbots
food and craves warmth. Hence, the moment
a man is satisfied he has taken cold,
let him do three things: First, eat hot an
atom; sedond, go to bed and cover up in
a warm room; third, drink as much' cold
water as-he wants, oris much hot h^rb
tea as be can,*** and in three cases ^ out of
four, fie will be entirely well in thirty-six
hours.?Hall. ^
