JAKES A. K***1' and EDITED ?BfV^THUlIPHEEYS. Our Absence. Both editors being called into the service cf the State, by the marching orders to ibe Fourth Regi? ment, S. C. Volunteers, the editorial and business departments of the Intelligencer will be under the care of Col. J. P. Hovx, of Lam-ens, who is at his post, nud makes his salutatory bow in the annexed card. Col. H?yt is authorized to transact all business ? mJ?iQ name of the firm. We hope, in our absence, the good people of An? derson will uphold and extend the circulation of the Intelligencer. A letter may be expected from one of us, each week. With this brief explanation, we hid our many friends a long farewell, if hostilities continue. JAMES A. HOYT, Vi. W. HUMPHREYS. It will be seen by the above card of the editors of the Intelligencer that they have both gone to the wars to reap the glory thereof, and endure or en? joy all else that belongs to a life in camp, and have thrown the " Editorial Mantle " over our shoulders, there to rest as best it may, until their return. In assuming tho control of the paper we might in? dulge in a great many promises of what wo shall do, and it was once fashionable to do so, but we consider that performances according to the best of our abilities will be far more acceptable, and shall suffer such to speak for themselves. AVe will how? ever indulge in one promise, and that is if our abili? ties shall prove .equal to the emergency, that the Intelligencer shall still be a welcome visitor at the firesides of its subscribers. To this end, we shall devote all the energies of our nature, and all the ability we possess ; with the hope that what may be wanting, may be excused by our good naturcd readers m these troublous time?. The course pursued by the Intelligencer, will not be altered in the least, so far as we can avoid it, but wc may say in advance, that we always speak plainly upon any subject that wc may treat of, and caUjhings by their proper names. Having had a long acquaintance"with public men, and a knowl? edge of public affairs, wc shall frequently rc.or to them, and.discuss their merits as wc think | proper, but with a candour and fairness that wc j should wish extended to ottrself, uudcr like cii cumstanccs. In our intercourse with the ??Fraternity"' w shall endeavor to exercise that urbanity and gen? tlemanly bearing that has ever characterized the South Carolina Press ; and any short comings in this respect, we hope will be attributed by the corps editorial to our having become somewhat rusty in the harness of the Sanctum. We should probably have extended our saluta? tory to far greater length, and have written in somewhat of a diffennt, vein (for wc profess to have some humor in our composition,) but we have just dismissed to the call of the country, a son. and son-in-law from our household Gods, and feel fur moro ready to let the silcut tear trickle down our . furrowed cheek, then otherwise; but a week's time and our philosophy may alter this sufficiently, to render what wc may have to offer in the future more interesting. May God bless the boys and return them to us, but if they fall in defence of their country, though a father's heart may be wrung with anguish, wc rhn'T -Li:,rj_1?n__JiaV-T A Glorious Victory! The issue has come, the tocsin of war has been sounded, " we have met the enemy, and they arc ours." We shall stop right here, take off our hat, swing it as""high as five feet-ten will permit, and shout at the top of our voice, hurrah for South i Carolina. What though, the deed has been done in the name of the Confederate States, what ' though, Gen. Beauregakd will receive the merited meed of praise, we have no envy toward all this, nor would we curtail their honors one iota, yet we must still be permitted to give the proper credit to South Carolina, and devoutly thank God that our lot has been cast among her sous. We feel too glorious just now to say much more, beside, there's the imp of-the office calling out 41 copy." Tho details of the battle will be found in our columns to-day as far as they have como to hand. t^T Vt'c arc requested by our neighbor of the !?

Wc clip the following from the Charleston Mer? cury of last Saturday, and give it place in our columns for it." peculiar significance nt this junc? ture of affairs. Docs not everything proclaim to us we are right, and ought to go head : Secession' and Cotton at 123 Cents.? The old Union is dissolved; seven States are bearing arms and anticipating war, and 3*et cotton, the great staple of the South, the food of millions, the king of the world, is at tho enormous price of 12 \ cents per pound. It has not been so high for years. It goes up in the midst of a revolution, aud despite the prophecies of | Black Republicans and timid Submission ists in the Border States, that commerce would be destroyed by secession and our farmers would suffer great loss in the re? duction of tho price of this article, we behold them with happy faces, filling their pockets with the money thus made, and thanking kind Providence for tho prosper? ous times. Cotton at 12* cents, and the revolution going on ! This takes the Re? publicans aback, and forces an acknowl? edgment from some of our patriotic South? ern friends who opposed secession, that j things havo not turned out half so bad aftor all. Negroes arc high, cotton is high, tho season is propitious for a good crop, ourpeoplo are happy, and one snout goes up from mountain to valley for our new Government and tho blessings of liberty which it dispenses to its subjects.

Hard Times in Washington.?The Washington Star, one ol* the papers new? ly converted to Abolitionism, and which systematically re-vamps the falsehoods of I the New York Tribune, about suffering at j the South, gives the following doleful pic-; turo of the times in Washington : For many months past, as at this time, hundreds and hundreds of honest working men here, as elsewhere, are unable to pro? cure a day's work; many arc now in almost a state of starvation. In fact, they would be at that point were it not for'friends. and dealers in groceries and other ncces saries of life, who have thus far given them credit. Tho owners of the houses many of these people occupy can get no rents from them. This state of things cannot last. .Many have families depen? dent upon their daily labor for subsistence, and in times when employment was easi? ly obtained found great difficulty in ma? king both ends meet. All these men ask is employment; and that.it seems, they cannot get now. Many of them tell us (for they appeal lo us) that they are in the habit oJ' leaving their distressed homes morning after morning, after a very scan? ty meal, with a fixed determination that, if possible, before they return to their families, they will get some employment; but alas! bitter disappointment meets them. They have no means to leave this city, and if they had, no one can tell them where they may obtain work. If these troubles continue for any consider length of time, no one can foresee what the consequences may be. Public as well us privato improvements are everywhere curtailed- and in most cases altogether suspended. Very few, if any, who have a dollar, will risk investing it an}-where now, while so much uncertainty exists. - <*-- - From Charleston. Cuarlesxon. April 14/.?Our despatch? es of Saturday evening, relative to this great event, were based upon posivc state? ments made to the proprietor in Charles? ton. But they were incorrect, as will be seen els where, in respect to the killed and wounded. Our dispatches this morning are particularly full and interesting. Wc give, besides from the Mercury extra of yesterday afternoon, the following ac? count, received by telegraph of the scene at Fort Sumfcer:?Columbia Guardian. Without, the walls have the appear? ance, at a distance, of having been cover? ed with an immense number of brickpoul? tices, spattered in every direction. This is the shattering effect of the shot. With? in, the entire fort, wore an aspect as if the hand of the destroying angel had swept ruthlessly by, and left not a solitary ob? ject to relieve the general desolation.? The blackened walls of the "officers' andsol dicrs' quarters were yet smoking: Ashes and embers rut the eye at-every turn, while the shot ami shell which had been rained upon lhe .stronghold lay in great quantities upon portions of the parade ground. The appearance of both Major Anderson, his officers, and the men. indi? cated the terrible nature of the ordeal from which they had just emerged. De-1 prived of sleep for many hours, fatigued with '.heir labor at tho guns, and prostra? ted by their battle with an element which raged beyond their control, they looked worn, haggard, and ready to drop with sheer exhaustion. When the lire was at its its greatest height Major Anderson stated that the only manner in which they could breath was by lying fiat upon the ground within the casements; with their faces to the earth; while added to the tluii^er was the occasional explosion of the piles oT M>?. l!.s collected for service at different points within the fort. It is to the fact that so few men wore in the fortification that is due the preservation of life. Major Anderson himself stated 1 that, had there been two hundred more., not less than one-half ox them tntut have \ been killed, owing to the absceuec of .-ut ficicnt room, under the circumstances, : for their protection. As it was. thetr I provisions would have given oilt in two days inpro. when tin unconditional sur? render would have necessarily resulted. He also remarked that yesterday was ono of the proudesl days of his life?ior. while he had endeavored to do his duly as tin officer, he had not taken the life of a fel? low being. During the evening a boat arrived at Morris' Island, from one of the North? ern vessels in* the Ofling,bearing a lieuten? ant an 1 a flag of truce?bis object being to arrtvigc for the evacuation of the sol? diers with their property, lie also assu? red the commanding officer at that point ?General Simons?that hostilities would not take place during the nh^ht.
