Yesterday evening and this morning, the
report was rife in our camp that We would
be disposed Of in the same way. Indeed,
orders to this or kindred effect, had, We
believe, been communicated to Col. Jenkins.
Gen. Beauregard, however, on yesterday
wrote to Gov. Pickeus pressing upon him
the exposed condition in which the coast
would be left, with two or three war vessels
of the enemy frequently in sight, and the
necessity Of retaininga portion Of the troops
Say five or six hundred-to assist the
regulars here and the volunteers of Charles
ton, in preventing the possible invasion Of
our soil. The large majority of the Jaspers,
this morning, and number from some of
the other companies, volunteered their ser
vices to remain. Many causes, however,
conspired to prevent anything like an unan.
imous vote of the regiment. Some think
there is no danger, and, therefore, no need
of us here; others wish to go to Virginia;
others shrink from encountering the yellow
fever, or other diseases, during an idle gar
rison life-as they suppose-for the sum.
mer among the marshes aud swamps Of the
low.country; and others still, feeling that
the State is secure, are desirous Of return
ing to their workshops, their farms or their
merchandise.
As we proceed with this writing now,
after the Island boat for one o'clock this
evening has arrived, two or three unofficial
accounts of our ''status" and probable fu-
ture, reach US. All reports concur to make
US believe that the regiment will not be
aisbanded-so the Virginia fever may as
we'll, for the present, die out in our camp
and Of three reports, one says that He.all
go home, another that two or three hundred
20 to North Edisto, and third that We all
remain somewhere on or near to the coast.
Where's the philosopher that could find the
"needle" of truth in this ':hay.stack" of
contradictions
These conflicting rumors are to be greatly
deprecated, because they operate different
ly on different minds, and, therefore, pro-
duce division in the regiment.
We should aforementioned in our last
that the ga. and A." Capt. Hutchinson,
merohant.vessel from Belfast, Ireland,
ran the gauntlet of the Niagara safely on
last Sunday. 1t was an exciting race for
while but the GA. and A." got across
the barand ran up among the breakers where
the Niagara could not reach her. She
was towed in on Monday morning; and
before noon, had engaged load Of cotton
at to % pence per pouud-or about SIS
per bale! The Niagara has been absent
for few days and several vessels, which
have made their way in, get return freight
in cotton, at say $40 per bale. "Cotton is
King"
These facts show that the blockade is not
yet effective. And may never be now; as
the last arrivals from England bring the
news that the British Lion is beginning to
growl at the North about John Bulls sup.
ply of cotton. "Cotton is King"
So abruptly, for "better or for worser,"
with two eyes that can't see further than
the end of our nose into the future, we are

From Caracas, Venezuela. under date of July 81,
we learn that the privateer Sumter, Capt. Semmes,
took the schooner Abby Bradford, of Boston, in

permission to sell her cargo and leave the vessel
in charge of a prize agent. He was refused, and
ordered to quit port Immediately; but when obey
ing the command he fell in with and seized the
bark Joseph Maxwell, Of Philadelphia, right under
the guns of the fortress. Semmes had learned pre.
viousy that there were no men to work the guns
in the garrison. He sent the captain of the Max.
well on shore, saying that as he could not sell
his prizes no would burn them.

The War and It's Necessitfes-Our Policy q
Grand and Decisive Campaign.

Grand and Decisive Campaign.
Our government, our soldiers and the people
OF our loyal States have derived some whole
some instructions touching the strength and en-
ergy of this Southern rebellion from our late
disasters in the field. We have thus been taught
with all our overwhelming military resources
in men and means, and with all our enthusiasm
for the Union, and all our confidence in its good
cause, that we must bring these resources to
bear upon the enemy with an overwhelming
weight, and that they must be carefully organized
and wisely directed before we can hope for sue
cess. We comprehend at length that we have
Jagged behind the activity of the rebels, that
we have under estimated their forces and their
fighting capacities, and tlmt they are not to be
reduced by the inefficient, halfway measures Of
holiday campaign.
The fact is alse dawning upon the admins
Observation-Disclosures the general enthusi
assn which prevails throughout our loyal States.
and the unexampled liberality of our loyal peo-
pie in furnishing men by hundreds of thou
sands and money by hundreds of millions
that there are seditious and traitorous
peace organs and peace agitators among
us, sowing the seeds of decentralization and
discord, and that the generous forbearauces
of peace in the matter Of individual liberty to
speak, write, plot and conspire against the 60
vernment, cannot be safely tolerated under the
stern necessities of this gigantic Southern rebel
lion. It was impossible for the trainers of the
constitution to provide for these necessities, for
they never dreamed of such crisis to our
country as this But the extraordinary de-
mands Of the crisis must be met, and with the
restoration of the Union we shall be in better
condition for the full enjoyment of all our liber-
ties under a reign of peace than ever we have
been heretofore. Meantime, however, in view
ofpubic harmony and official activity in the
prosecution Of this war, all false preachers of
peace and reasonable teachers Of secession
standing in the way Of the government must
expect to be removed.
In this matter we recognise some evidences
of new impulse of energy in our Cabinet, and
in the more important matter Of a forward move
ment against the enemy, we are encouraged
with other evidences of more systematic ac-
tivity at Washington than that which led to the
deplorable battle of Bull rum What may be the
military combinations and movements chalked
out by Gen. Scott and Gen. Mcclellan we know
not, and if we knew we should not without
their consent, disclose them. We are equally
ignorant of the plans Of Davis and Beaurcgard
Tor the future; but we have seen enough to
know that while the rebels are desperately
