We have heard many of our good citizens complain, and we think justly, at the course pursued by some of our officials. After two days heavy cxponses incurred by some forty jurymen, summoned to appear at the time prescribed by law for the sitting of the Court of Sessions, they are dismissed without the pres once of the ermined gentleman, whose duty it i? to bo in attendance at the opening of the Court. We think that default on the part of officials to do what both duty and law requires of them should be visited by punishment or penal fine in proportion to the importance of their position or the detriment, on their ac count, inflicted on others. If the juror, who neglects the garnering of his products to comply with the requirements of the laws of his country as juror, at $1 50 per clay, is to be fined $50 for derelietion of duty?even though sickness may be the cause of his absence-? what should be the penalty imposed on a defaultingjudge, whose salary is $3,000, and make it entirely optional with his feelings and will whether ho attends or not, or even condeschds to notify the gentlemen comprising the Court of his inability to attend ? Our Next Issiir. There is a probability that our next week's issue will appear and be recognized by an old and familiar name?one that has been a welcome visitor and read round the hearthstones of all the families of our district, and in many instances, for almost a whole century past. There will be no change in the management of the paper. From Charleston. Charleston, Nov. 2.?The bombardment of Sumter continued last night with unabated severity. No further casualties ud to 8 o'clock this morning. The fire at- present averages two a minute. 10 P. M.?The bombardment of Sumter continued heavily all day. The firing was directed mostly at the South-west angle of the fort. The monitors fired to-day 140 shots, all of which struck ; 250 rifled shots were fired from Morris' Island, 55 missed; 350 mortar shells, 135 missed. One man was killed by a mortar shell. The mortars, besides 15-inch shells, are fit iitg rifled Wierd shells, 18 inches l.ong and 6 1-2 inches in diameter. Charleston, Nov. 3.?Just after dark set in a small reconnoitering party of the enemy, consisting of four scouts, effected a landing at the southeast angle of the fort. The approach of the parry, being made under cover of the night, was not observed, and, owing to a mistake of a | sentinel who hailed it, was allowed to escapeThe boat, however, was fired into on its retreat, it is believed, not without effect. Tuesday opened with a vigorous bombardment from the land batteries, the heavy guns of which were relieved, as usual, about noon by tlw> rrmnitnra One hnndrod and fourteen shot were fired by the latter, all of which struck. Of two hundred and seventy-seven rifled shots fired, forty missed, and of one hundred and seventy-eight mortar shells, seventeen missed. r a t f Movements op the President.?Yesterday President Davis, in company with Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Gilmer, Col. Harris an J a number of other officers, visited Sullivan's Island and inspected the fortifications on that side of the harbor, with which his Excellency expressed himself highly pleased. On his way to Sullivan's Island the President stopped for a time on board the flag ship of our little squadron of iron-clads, and also availed himself of the opportunity to gain a closer view of the ruins of grim old Fort Sumter. After having seen all the works on the Island, the President and party lunched with Gen. Ripley, and then returned to the city. To day the President visits the works on .lamer I'land.?Mercury of Wednesday. President Davis in Charleston. The President and suite arrived in Charleston l>y a special train from Savannah at noon t Monday. Uo was received at tbo depot by Gen. Beauregard and statf and tbo committee of the City Council, who accompanied him V with military escort to the City Hall. The t turn out of citizens was grand and the* procos- ' sion was enthusiastically cheered along the whole route. On arrival at the City Hull, the i President was introduced by Judge Magrnth to j Mayor Macbeth, who cordially received and ; welcomed him to the city. The President re- j turned his acknowledgements on being intro- ! duced, and addressed the people. He said his ! ' feelings bad drawn him there in this our hour ! . . j \ of trial, and he desired also to confer with our j. commanding General, and by personal observations acquire some of that knowledge which < would enable him to more fully understand our wants and the reports submitted to him. He alluded to Cuioliua'a gieat statesman, Calhoun, whose departed spirit was now watching j over her with all a guardian angel's care. It ? was from South Carolina's great men ho first J imbibed the principles and doctrines of States j t Rights. The President paid a high compli- ^ inent to the heroic irarrisons defending Fort c && " J p There is nothing now from the Rappahannock to-night. "Morgan's career may bo summed up with truth as follows : d He has fought sixty-three battles and has jj been successful in fifty seven; took 60,000 ' | prisoners, killed 20,000, and destroyed $50.- ; 000,000 worth of property, taken 50,000 stand j of small arms, and fifty pieces of artillery, : 11 20,000 horses, and travelled 12,00 miles. Xews froi^i the United States, Petersburg, November 3.?We have Northern dates of the 30th ult. The news is ^ unimportant. The Yankees are rnning trains on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, as far as Catlett's ; ^ Station, eighteen miles this side of Manassas* j j The road, it is said, will in a few days be re- I di paired, so as to communicate with the advance corps of Meade's army. Guerillas continue to d harrass Meade's rear and flanks, doing much mischief. On Wednesday the rebels captured B 24 wagons near Gainesville. It was thought that the rebels would, in the end, be forced in- m to a general engagement. President Lincoln has formally received Senor Romero, the Minister of the Juarez Government, thus ignoring the new Franco-Mexi- ^ can Empire. A United States steamer cruising among the British Islands was ordered away from the c< ports of prince Edward's Island. Sumter, and said the eyes of tbo whole world ; were upon them, and he trusted that the day would never come when the Yankee flag would float over it. In proportion to the hate of the t Yankees of the nes^ of the rebellion, so he said is the love of every true son of the Confederacy gathered around, as they were, watching our ' struggle with anxious solicitude. He trusted ^ the enemy's desire*to possess Charleston would j never be gratified, but if Providence ordered otherwise, he desired lor her what he wished " for his own native county town, Vicksburg? that the whole be left in a mass of ruins. He q believed Charleston never will be taken, and T if the fire should beleaguer us on every side, rc- a inforcements would be sent to our assistance in proportion to the forces of the enemy. From his present knowledge he looked forward to a glorious record at the close of the struggle for ^ our city. He urged a harmonious co-operation on the part of the people with the Command- _ ing General, to be united in our efforts and to 1 look with an ye devoted singly to the cause of our country, lie who would attempt to u promote his own personal ends in preference, or ^ would not take a musket and light in the ranks was not worthy of the liberty for which wo are fighting. Our army now, he said, was better than it was twelve months ago, was stronger, bears marching, hunger and privations , witliout murmuring or straggling, and always r< welcomes cheerfully the word "onward." b Kews from lticlimon<l.
