FROM TE1E PALMETTO REGI.
MENT

We had the pleasure of conversng with
Capt Joseph Kennedy, Of the Fairfield Vo-
lIntecrs, who arrived in Columbia, on Sat
urday evening last, directly from Puebla,
where he left the Palmetto Regiment. lie
was accompanied home by Lieut.. J. B.
kershaw, and by Sergeant Zacll Cantcy, as
lar as New Orleans-thc latter gentleman
having been discharged Oh account Of bad
health. Capt Kennedy reports the Pal
metto Regiment, as beingin ordinary health,
though he remarked that deaths were con-
slantly occurring every few days. amongst
the volunteers. He speaks of Puebla, as
most delightful region, with fine water, and
plenty of supplies. He says he left the
troops all quartercd in churches, and that
these churches were placed at the disposal
OF Gen. Scott, by the priests, who in this
manner regarded their protection lis secure.
lie thinks there is no prospect of much fight
ing hereafter, as he believes there is no regu-
larly organized force of any great number
in any part of Mexico, but says that the cf.
fects OF the Guerrilla system are developing
themselves with harrassing rapidty. Capt.
Kennedy thinks that thre is no early pros
pcct OF peace, and says that the total sub
Jugatlon of Mexico at an early day, might
not secure it. as there is no dependence to
be placed in any party which might offer
pacific negotiations. He was with the
down train from Puebla, which was attack
ed al the Putenie Nationnle, the day after
the up train under the command of Col.
Mcintosh was attacked. He SAYS Lieut..
Walker of the Chester volunteers was with
the latter tram, and estimates the whole at
tacklng force at not over one hundred men,
and this piliful band cut Off 40 wagons, and
killed and wounded 60 of Col McIntoshs
guard, which in the whole numbered eight
hundred men.
1t is agreed on all hands that Col. Nc.
lntosh acted badly. Lieut.. Walker had
been sick and was in charge Of those amor
t~nate uniforms, Of the Palmetto Regiment,
which have met with SO manyaccidents by
flood and field. Three cases Of these were
in one OF the captured wagons, and but nine
cases were saved from the cnemy-so one
fourth Of our brave volunteers will have to
go unclothed for some time to come. Gen.
Scott ordered Capt Kennedy and Lieut..
lAershaw home on recruiting SERVICE
Each OF the companions are to be raised to
one hundred men. Capt. Kennedy has
been ordered to Charleston, Lieut. Ker-
shaw to Camden, and Capt, Brooks, who
returned sometime since in bad health, to
recruit at Edgefeld. These officers desire
to recruit about three hundred men for the
Palmetto Regiment by the lst ofNovember

Oo- 1t is with feelings of sorrow we announce the
death of RoBERr EsxRIDcE, esq.,, who belonged to
the Volunteer service in Mexico. He was the son
Of our estmable townsman and fellow citizen, Maj.
George Eskridge, and had joined the Baltimore
Regiment. He was in the three days fight at
Monterey, and acquitted himself with credit in that
fearful and unequal contest. He falls, young in
years, in the pride and strength of his youth, prey

but still he died in the service Of his country. We
knew Robert EslSridge, and we knew that he bore
as noble heart as ever throbbed in human bosom.
