<$ Extra Fine Wheat.
Our enterprising, townsman, Mr. J. F. Sute
erland, has shown us an extra fine specime
of wheat in the sheaf, grown on his plantatioi
in the vicinity of Camden. Mr. S. is justly ei
titled to celebrity for the successful cultivatio
of the various products?tho secret of whic!
lies in the proper tilling of the soil, with fr<
qucnt copious showers. We have thoE

I*t. Col* Frank Hampton.
Our community is called upon to mour
says the Carolinian of yesterday, the death <
Lt. Col. Frank Hampton. A private despatc
jr informs us of his living been killed on Tue
day, in the fight at Culpepper, when Stuart
cavalry repulsed the Hessians.
Col. Hampton was a fine specimen of
Southern gentleman'?a noble representative
his lamented father?beloved by all wh kne
him, and an irreparable loss to his bereav
. % family. The community mourns the saciifi
of a gallant and valued citizen to the wretch
. r preventatives of LinroHiism and tyranny.

fifed reliefmcureing somebody. At such titnee
B discretion, justice and moderation are comkg
pletely lost sight of, the reality of their sufferings
absorbing their whole minds, and bluntf
ing and distorting their comprehensions. It is
-* a fact, though, which adroit* of no Cavil, that
our people are magnanimous, and desire to
- do justice. And we are confident that the
time will come yet when the- character and
I worth of Gen. Pemberton will be appreciated
^ and acknowledged. That he has committed
errors we shall not attempt* to deny; bat when
it is considered what a herculean task he had
% to perform, how stupendous the difficulties that
loomed up before him, how small the force une
der his command, and how long he managed
I* without reinforcemonts^to keep an overwhelm0
ing force at bay, .the liberal minded will pause
? before they condemn him.
After the enemy had been repulsed several
times, he spoke to his troops substantially as
8 follows:
"You have heard," says he, "that I was ina
competent and a traitor?that it was my intcn0
tion to sell Vicksburg. Follow me, and you
0 will sno t.ho. at. wltir?)i T will call Vi/?lro_
f burg ! When the last pound of beef, and bacon
aud flour?the last grain of corn, aud cow and
hogs and horse and dogs shall be consumed*
and tho last man shall perish in the trenches,
_ then,:*nnd only then, will I sell Vieksburg!"
i We learn that this heroic speech was re
coived with, e 11 bounded applause and cnthusi,t
asm by the whole command, liis veterans at
Yicksburg will stand by him to the last.
Disloyalty in Oiijo and Indiana.?The
following is an extract from a private letter
c from an officer of high rank in the Depart
ment of Ohio, giving reasons for Gen. Burnside's
r arrest of Vallandigham :
"You have no ides of tho amount of open
and bold disloyalty?not simply disloyalty by
the Republican standard, but b}' that of any
liouest man?existing in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois,
among the Vallandigham party. 1*
5 must be Btopped and put down now?not six
months hence-and military tribunals are the
s only ones that can do it. It is that, or the loss
( J of the cause. The course of these men prolongs
the war, costs lives by thousands, and I
0 tell you either they or the Government must go
0 down, and that speedily."

t Abolition papers estimate the amount of
Dronertv destroyed bv the Alahnmn?nrl Wlnri.
e da up to the latest advices from the theatre of
their operations, at twelve millions of dollars.
When we take into the account the injury
these cruisers have done to the shipping interest
t- of Lincolndom, by the increased rates of inn
surance and the number of vessels that lie rot),
ting at their quays the amount of loss sustained
t by the depredations of these gallant ships is
u swollen to a frighiful sum.

Brio. Gbn. Evans.?This redoubtable hero
)6 ofLeesburg fame has reached his gallant brigQ
ade of South Carolinians, on the east side ol
j. Pearl river. Ho expresses every confidence,
says the Jackson Mississippian, id the speedy
expulsion of the Yankees from our soil. We
are last accumulating an army, which will be
n, led by the best and most experienced Generals
of among whom Gen. Evans justly ranks conspic:h
nous. Mississippians know how to appreciate
8- him, and he knows something of the vAlnr m

Railroad has been stripped of troops. Rosencrane
is reinforcing Grant via Louisville. All
the steamboatB at Louisville and Memphis have
been pressed into service. ; Four thousand five
hundred Confederate prisoners had reached
Memphis. The officers were to go toSandqsky,
and the men to Indianapolis. General Hurlbut
had been ordered to prepare hospitals at
Memohis for 30-.o6o wounded. Grant, asks
Hurl but for 80,000 inen. Hurlbut replied that
lie did not know where they were to come
from. The Yankees* own figures foot up a
loss of 50,000.
"We have a trustworthy statement that Kirby
Smith, instead of being at Port Hudson, has occupied
Milliken's Bend with 10,000 men, in
order to cut off Grant supplies. It is reported
that Jackson's cavalry had cut their way
through to Vicksburg.
Mobile, Juno 9.?A private despatch from
Jackson, dated yesterday, says that Vicksburg
is all right, and thattKirby Smith is in possession
of Milliken's Bend.
The Latest.
Jackson, Juno 9.?Our scouts report the enemy's
pickets to be ten miles doep between
the Big Black and Vicksburg. Every means
of approach is closely guarded, and the greatest
courage and care arc neccessary in order to
reach .Vicksburg. Grant communicates with
the fleet by signal lights, which were soon l?st
night constantly. The signalizng, it is thought*
betokens a movement or a renewal of the assult.
The roar of the enemy's mortars, at intervals
of two seconds, lias been heard all night, and
aud is continuous this morning.
An officer captured by Grant's pickets, but
who subsequently escaped, arrived hero this
morning. He reports that the Yankae army is
much depressed by the knowledge that Geucral
Johnston is massing a heavy force in their rear,
while certain death stands before them in front.
Their officers say that certain death or annihilation
awaits them.

Counterfeits from a New Quarter.?We
learn that some new counterfeits of Confederate
notes, of the denomination of 5, 10, 20
, and 50 dollars, recently put in circulation here
have, through the energy of officer Hicks, been
traced to some of the steamers which have
lately reached this port from Nassau. Two individuals,
who were found to have a quantity of
the spurious bills on their persons, hare been
arrested. The vigilant eye of the detective is
now resting upon other parties suspected of
j. the grave crime.. The counterfeits are tolerably
well executed, and our people will do well
to be on their guard.?[.Charleston Mercury.

Profane Swearing.
An excellent field is presented in Richmond
and many other Southern totvns and cities*
at this time, for some enterprising missionary to
conduct the distribution of the well known tract
on "swearing." We should judge eight or ten
