Rumors reach U3 that troops are moving in that direction from different portions of the Confederacy. For several days past wo have been favored with sermons daily from the Rev.

Rev. Mr. Roberts has an Inpressive style of preaching. Ilia remarks are plain and simple, and in a perceptible mnnner i touchcs the heart, and makes a lasting im- ! prestion upon the rainds of his hearers, lie is eminently fitted for the missionary service.

Pressly Professor of Latin and Greek, in Erskin College, Due West, has a great store of information and evinces in his his Sermons deep thought and logical reasoning. We are favorably impressed with Rev. Mr. Richards, and we feel sure that his sojourn with us will be marked with much good. From his sermons we BhoulcJ judge ..I i- - - - initii ue is a geunenian ot talent and education. Our men are now welT clad. Id addition to the large amount of clothing distributed by the Regimental Quartermaster we have recently received a very large supply of shoes, hat*, panlloon?, shirts, draw ers, &o., &c. from the Central Association of South Carolina, for which the many re? ceipieDts of the liberality of this Association will ever feel grateful. Incident of the Battle of Murfjieksboko.? Jno. A. Nelson, private of Co. "D," 19th Regiment S. C. Vols., was detailed to go to the rear as wagon guard on the day of the battle of Murfreesboro, but instead of staying in the rear, engaged with another soldier to exchange places that he might go in the ranks. Nelcon fought gallantly crhti! he fell severely wounded in the foot. IIo after wards fell into the hands of the enemy and his foot was amputated. lie has returned from their liBea having been duly oxchanged. We think it nothing but justice to place on record such instances of patriotism and detotiou to one's country. *' \ A friend writing to us, says: "I have 1 - _* - ... juoi. icon juur iiiieretumg accOUDl Ot ttlO Rabbit Hunt.

We are pleasantly located in a beautiful grove, conveniently situated to very good water, and have become somewbat attached to the place. On last Saturday tlio officers of this Brigade gave a Pic Nic Party to the ladies of this vicinityl Quite a number of ladies were present, and from an early hour the dance moved merrily on, while every one J enjoyed "a feastof humor and flow of bou1" When" dinner was announced each gallant escorted bis "lady 'air'' to ihe tables which were heavily laden with the beet -of the Lnd. The viands were rich, the cakes excellent, and the eggnogg superb. Many _?T J 1 ?- i -- --- ucm i? noio uuoicu nuu ata'|iihj, hs mey always are, on such occasions, to the shrine of Love and Beauty. Everything passed off pleasantly to all parties. Tiie 10th and 19th Reo't. S. C. V. It i? pleasing f?r one to observe the intimacy existing between the officers and men of the 10th, and 10th Regiments. There seems to exist nothing but good will between them. There being but the two South Carolina Regiments here I presume is one reason for their feeling more like brothers. Our Regiment is composed of ton companies, the six fir^t biting from the 10th and the reoiaiuing four, being from the 1 Otu: Capt. C. C. White. 1st Company, Capt. II. Z. Ilarlee, 2d Company, Lieut. W. J. W. Lee, 3d Company, Capt. J. T. Palmer, 4tb Company, Capt. G. P. AnderBon, 5th Company, Capt. W. J. Solaar, 6'.h Company, Capf. II. N. Chatham, 7th Company Capt. A. Clinkscales, 8th Company, Capt. II. R. Dean, 10th Company. 2'he Field and Staff officers of the consolidated Regiment are J. F. Presaly, Lieut. Colonel, commanding the Regiment; J. T. Purcher, Major; J. O. Terrell, Adjutant; J. T. Porcher, Quartermaster; T. N. Britton, Commissary ; J. N. W. Lynch, and T. P. Baily, Surgeons; J. II. Jennings and C. H. Tebeault Assistant Surgeons ; Richards, Chaplain. Col. A. M. Manigault is still in command of the 4th Brigade, known as "Manigaults Brigade." Capt. C. J. Walker is Acting Assistant Adjutant General to Col. Manigault, as mentioned in & previous let ter. Private J. T. Clamp, of Abbeville District member of Capt. Addison Clinkscales Company was in camp a few days ago, an exchanged prisoner of war. . Clamp is a good soldier and deserves great credit for bis gallantry on 6eld of battle at Murfreesboro. In the battle he raeived three wounds which were painful, and supposed by his friends to be mortal. At the evacuation of Murfree6boro he fell into the hands of the enemy; After three months he bad partially recovered, and was exchanged. Hu come promptly to hiscfompany, but bemg still unable for duty was sent to # hospital, and we hope, era now, that he has been furloughed home. in reply to u4." we -would say, "yes."

W. j ELOQUENT EXTRACT. NoIjle and Patriotic Sentements. There is something very delightful in this word Peace. It strike? upon the ear of a tumultuous and ever agitated world with a musical softness that is wonderfully attractive. We associate with its presence, comfort and ease and prospeiity and love. All that is brightest in the home and in the heart is wrapped up iu it. Tho pictures of fancy, tho dreams of poetry, tho richest nromisua of l.ll? rrrxsnel ?rn nil r- b ?? V "Ut Cll UUl of itB golden hues. The sequestered valley, with its murmering stream and its quiet happiness?the cultivated plain, basking in the sunshine and covered all over with the luxuriant harvest?the crowded oily, as it lies asleep under the soft moonbeams, its hum of industry stilled by the inexorable decree of nature ? the placid waters, refb'cting as in a mirror, the sjftned forms of the huge monsters whichf when awakened from their slumber*, are to bear across the ocean j me products 01 the earth?are some of the 6cenes which we have been accustomed to harmonize with the idea of Peace. And when we havo enlarged tho scope of our vision, and risen upon imagination'^) airy wings, we embrace in the same idea of Peace an interchange of kindly affections among all the nations of the earth, and an universal good will towards men. Philopo- J phy and poetry aud prophecy have all combined to bodv forth its bles?im?H arwl alike personified it on earth and in heuvon I by the mild t ye a?td ll*i gentle murmur ol the Holy Dove. littl delightful as i6 the word, and attractive as aio its association?, we should Dot be seduced by them to yield up <-ither I right or truh or justice for its attaiutn<?^.. It would inder-d 6e a great burden rolled from our hearts if wo uouM take our children to our bopoms, and feel that they indeed had a country?if we could look upon our noble sons and rejoice that, they were | freed with honour from any furt her conflict with foemen so unworthy of their *ste'd? if we coilhl f?lnnf>M nrr.im.1 i?nr 1") j and be satisfied that no rude trumpet would again disturb their peace, no roar of cannon diiv"! iib from tlieir shadow?if we could enter tbe temples of God and sing the angels song of peace on earth, good will towards men. But until we can do so with honor and with security, let us banish the idea from our thoughts. Let there be no mitking haste to find Peace. It will come when (?od sees that war lias accomplished his purposes, and it* ought to come no *o??n?r. Utile** we follow bis guidance in this matter, we shall fall into tumpt.at.ioii | and a snare, and in gra.-ping at .a shadow, lose the substance which we have already j gained at tbe cost, of ?o much precious blood. We seceded from the Government of which we were once a part, because we felt that under it we no l> nger bad a country. For what is our country ? Our country is in its constitution, and its provisions were opt-nly anil shamefully violated?our country is in its religion, and ite altars were desecrated by infidelity and the vilest fanaticism?our country is in its institutions and they were threatened with total subversion ?our Country is in its social life, nnd that was covered all over with rude abuse and malignant defamation. And shall we, for peace sake, think for a moment of returning to the embrace of such a Union? God forbid'! Let us learn atonce the stern truth that we have no country until we make one. We can nevergo back to that whence we came out. We should uot recognize it in its present garb of tyranny. We should not discern that once proud Republic under the musk which it now wears, with tho oriental despotism tlmt rules over it, and tl?6 oriental Bubmissaon that kisses ita feet. In its deliriiim it has lost all sense of regulated liberty?it rememberB only passion and vengeance. Closing ita eyes against all (ruth, and shutting its ears against all wisdom, it ia striking at man madly in its rage, and it u cursing God who has placed the bit in its mouth, and is saying to' it, 'Thus far bbalt thou go and no further." In quietness and confidence is our strength. Manly fortitude Mid heroic pntince will ac complish for ua in due time all that we are contending fur. We did not enter upon this conflict in the temper of children, who were quarrelling for some mero point of pique, but with tlie resolution of men who perceived that every thing which made life tolerable wa9 trembling in the balance. Let peace come to us, and let us not forget our manhood and go in search of peace. We might find a counterfeit of it among the contrivances of man and meanwhile loose that beavcn-descended peace which God will givu us, if we will wait bis will and abide bis discipline. Every thing forbids us to be too solicitous for peace. Our conserated cause ? consecrated by the blood of our children?tlra aid and comfort it would give our enemies?the permanent, welfare of nonteritv. If God snnrU 5? in m 1 then welcome, onght-cyed Peauel but woe to ub if, for it* Bake, we bacrifice one jot nr one tittle of our duty and of eternal justice I In tbe present condition of thirgs such a peace a* we ought to accept would be impossible. What have we to offer in exchange for all the territory wich the enemy now holds within the borders of the Confederate States, for the half of Tennessee, for the Eastern and Wesfern region* of Virginia, for all our rich aea-coast, for our K,rUn.n 1 f--.- f-- ?1 * ? um-vio <|||U IUIIUI fciiatw gnrueii ?pui Of our country, lovely Louisiana? Wtmtliwe we. at the present moment, to ca?t in the balance ?gain?t Maryland and Kentucky and Missouri, who?e right to de'ermine their own future destiny, it would be base in us to abandou ! Hence is-it that foreiim mediation would be, at this time, and under our present circumstance*, so disastrous to u*; tind hence is it, I firmly believe. that God has put it into the beart of our euemiea to reject it What could foreign mediation effect I What could it propose u the basis of settlement, but some such terxna aa European diplomacy has been con rmant about fo^ ages I Would you. conurn t to peaoe upon the taroit of the uil possidetis, each party holding what it pos Bosses? Your own solemn legislative pledges cry out against it. Virginia would blush for shame al such a proposition, and would weep, as Ilachcl, for "her children, refusing to bo comforted. Louisiana would lift her saddened eyes and fettered nrnn and plead for mercy and deliverance. Trie home of Jackson would burn with indignation that the nshes of her unconquered hc*r<? should be trampled upon by hirelings and slaves. Old ocean would murmur curses against you upon her wailing winds, and would lash your shoes in fury at their degradation. Would you grant to your unscrupulous enemies special commercial advantages mid a favored intercourse? This would !io!d us iu as utter vassalage as we have heretofore been held, would ruin our revenues and make us tributary forever to Northern in dustry. Would you pay money for peace? At such a thought, the shade of I'inckney would arise from itsdu?t, and bid you remembpr what Southern spirit was, when he uttered the immortal words, "Millions for defence, but not a cent for tribute." I -i --- - ' I tMVUiiinuil IS* VI Ut? us now no goo'l. it might embarrass us ami place us in a false position before the world, but it could not advance us one step towards an honorable peace. Let us then give thanks this day to God for having so hardened the heart and blinded the eyes of our enemies as to induce theru to repel their best and truest lriend in bis advances for their relief.
