South Caroline.

We have received copy ola little sheet
about the size of twelve mo-, named the
Camp Kettle. 1t ID got up, trump and ed
i tied BY. the boys Of the Pennsylvania
Roundhsad regiment, at Port Royal, South
Caroline, many of whom are from our
neighboring county OF Washington.
The following paragraph in the Kettle is
marked for our attention:
"Abont eight o'clock on the night after
the late naval victory, the moon rode hlg6
in the Heavens, and one of those rare and
beautiful sights that are witnessed but
once or twice in life time, was

! ewes from our floating palaces abreast the
fallen fort. Amagnihcent prismatle circle
surrounded II for more than an hour, and
the sight of the red, white and blue eae.f-
cling the luminary, after the scenes OF tne
i day, gnyeit a Significance that went 10
the heart of every loyal man In that heet,

| lips. and full hearts, while the national
lhnes grew brighter and brighter, rs il, in
unison with the historic era, through
which the threatened flag, the emblem OF
worlds hope Is emerging into a new and
happier epoch.
The following paragraph follows the
above:

ty.fiye cents. Nevertheless, 70 the citizens
Of the HPaImetto Empiren we will furnish

our friends in the North, where things are
plenty, take a fancy to send us few bum
bles of paper, we wouldIconslder ourselves
under many obligations to the "horrtd

Here is one of three obituary notices in
the little paper 1t speaks sadly to the
heart Of even stranger;
DIEp-on The 9Th Of November at sea.

The 18th year OF his age. The deceased

continued to grow worse until, on the eve
of landing, his spirit took its flight for, we

shore, and his body was consigned to the
i keeping of the deep blue sea. A few hours
later, we had conquered a foothold on the
Hand, but our Young friend was in another
land, and his young life, offered 70 bis
country, had gone up to the God who gave
and accepted it back again.
Under the head of "Stirring Scenes we
find this stirring paragraph. 1t makes one
feel good at this distance. 10 think that
The boys feel their mission SO POLITICALLY, ms
