Lryc0LS's distinctions TO FRRAoSr-
President Lincoln transmitted letter to
General Fremont on the 18th inst, on the
subject OF his recent proclamation. He says
Assuming that you, being on the ground,
could better Judge Of the necessities OF your
position than I could st this distance, OH
SEEING your proclamation of the 3oth OF
August perceive several objections to it. the
particular objection being the clauses relative
to the conhscation of property and the liberia
ion Of slaves. II is Objectionable on account
Gifts non conformity to the act of Congress.
On the sth OF August last | wrote you eX pres
sing wish that that clause should be modi-
fed. Your answer expressed preference
that should make an open order for the
notification, which 7 cheerfully do.
It's therefore ordered, that the said clause
be modified, held and construed to conform to
and not transcend the provisions in the act OF
Congress, entitled an act to confiscate prop
erty used for insurrectionary purposes, and
that said act lie published at length, with

SUMTER, S. c., Sept. Is, 1861
Our State is rapidly assuming the appear
anee of a vast military camp. Our seaboard
is lined with troops, and Tredegar bull dogs,
and bristles with bayonets and we promise
squint-eyed B. F. high old frolic when he
rustles the palmetto. Wul he, dare he come !?
The planting interest has been remarkably
blessed. The crops are fine-cereals especially
so. a drought failure-would have been
disastrous to Us this year but 4 kind Proyi-
dence has given US g the early and the latter
rain,'' and enough is made, probably for two
years consumption. The rice is harvested
corn is made, fodder housed or stacked, and
the contrabands are in the cotton busy as
bees, picking out our great staple. None of
it, however, will leave the Clubhouse under
existing circumstances, and if there are any
people North of the Potomac who think they
can getit, they may make the trial when they
get ready!
South Carolina has sent some five regime n t.
TO Virginia. and we want none of them back
while they are needed there. Others are get
ting ready 70 leave or are already on their
way to the Old Dominion to participate in
the glorious and speedy advance of our troops
into The enemy's land.
The ladies are busily and constantly en-.
gagged working for the soldiers, and boxes of
clothing, hospital stores, &C., are being CON
stantly shipped. LIVE OAK.

the Judah and the shore batteries before the
alarm was fairly given. This move of the
enemy made our gums perfectly useless. The
men on board of the schooner Judah were all
asleep. When they awoke, tn ey fought man
fully and desperately. 1t is believed that the
four men on board the sch ooner killed some
seven or eight Of the enemy. We have one OF
our men missing, and there are three slightly
wounded.
A few days since there was a boat load of
marines deserted. Some of the same Yankee
rascals We're acting as pilots.
1t is generally believed that their principal
object was the burning of the Navy Yard
After setting lire to the schooner they fired
grape and canister, wounding one man.
There were at one time ten Federas on the
deck of the schooner, against three of our
men. Those three men fought with poles
with spikes on the end. The Lieutenant com

.;.orv Of one witness, the testimony of the

coached. They pray that the probate may
i, royo,ed. that John Mcdonnell may be
