OUR SEMI-WEEKLY.

As stated in our issue of last week, we
commence this morning the publication OF
the ENQUIRER semi-weekly. How long we
shall continue, will depend upon the state
of the country. Our object is to furnish
our readers with the news as early as posi-
Bile, and in order to do so, we are willing to
undergo some additional labor and expense.
The two semi-weeklies will contain as much
reading matter as the weekly heretofore,
with the advantage to our readers of get
ting the news earlier and oftener, so that
they will not be in suspense for whole
week at one time.
The advertisements, will be inserted but
once weck-that is, part of themiu Tues.
days issue and part in Fridays issue, un'
less otherwise specially ordered.
Our terms will remain the same--S2 pei
year in advance

THURSDAY Night. May I'd,

THURSDAY Night, May I'd.
Dear Enquirer In obedience to request,
albeit We have had very busy day of it
and wou,d like to sleep now, we sit down at
tea at night to the pleasant task of writing
to the first number of your Semi Weekly
issue. To give you an idea of camp-life as
it comes home to our "business and bosom,"
and to forewarn you not to expect too garru-
Ious and long. .drawn-out letters from us here
after, We will give you this days routine,
which is to be our Duly to an unknown
date in the future.
We rose at S; at 81 drilled hour; then
one hour for sending off the mail of the
"Jaspers )" from II till 8 preparing and
submitting the "Nlorning Report" of the
Regiment; from to 10, Officers drill
from lO4 to III, Company drill J.; from the
latter hour till ? p. NJ, for dinner, recrea-
tion, reading the news and writing letters;
2 to 8, company drill again 3 to 5 leisure,
reading, chatting, amusement; 5 to 6, reg
imental dress. parade; 6 to s supper and a
walk, then prayer and tattoo, and now to
this writing after reading President Davis
altogether superior and admirable message.
49, A quiet rumor reached our ears today,
that the military authorities about the ISL
and arc somewhat apprehensive of the sea-
ward approach of the enemy. We cannot
credit it, however We told you in our last
how and wherefore we had slept night
last week with our shoes on. That excite
ment was blown off with the morning sea-
breeze. This will follow in its wake. The
fact is we are far quieter here than you
perhaps are in-dear me the dear up
country. The Co~ri"r, -Hcrcu'y, Nevs,
Iuion Press, Mountai' Eagle and E"q"i.
rer-and these few and far between-are
the only papers we have laid eyes on since
we come here. All our news before we get
it, is like our bakers bread, cold and stale
and much of it, like some of the biscuits
received from home, is mouIoy.

plished by heroism and wars occupying such
a conspicuous position and so much space
in the inspired record. Can it be success
fully disputed that this fact is prophecy
of the continuance Of wars on earth as long
as the church and the world are in conflict;
lesson as to the principles and laws that
should govern the warfare Of nations, and
as exemplifying the different spirits and
motives and characters of heroes and war
riors? So long as the first Gospel promise
of Eden, announcing the ultimate triumph
of the ssseed of the woman"-Christ-over
sthe serpent" -Satan-is untitled, thers
will be conflict between right and wroPg,
and this conflict will enter every relation of
man, and so, will necessitate national COL
lisions. Until tyranny and ambition and
national pride, and rebellion against God
and His laws and institutions, shall cease
from among men, war will exist; for God,
and religion, and the good Of the world,
forbid that these passions should be unop-
posed. As far as religion and civilization
inspire noble thoughts and love of right
and Justice, even to this extent will there
be the disposition and endeavor to resist
oppression and punish the malignant as
sailant of others, and war is the great weap.
on to be used. In proportion as men are
under the impulse of passion, which in any
case are but partially subdued and sancti-
fed, so do they need to be taught by his
toric example how to act in the emergen-
cies of war. Hence when one looks upon
the characters of such heroes as Moses and
Joshua and David and Gideon and Sampson,
he can see what constitutes the true soldier;
and so, also, when one reads the sad for
tune and fate of the Pharaoh's, the Canaan
itish Kings, and Saul and Joab, Abner,
Absalom, Amara and other ambitious war
riors of the Bible, he receives warning a.
gainst their spirit and their practice. Such
then, it may be asserted, are some of the
instructions afforded by the extensive histo.
ry of wars given by the pen Of inspiration.
Hence it may be asked, why are this por-
traiture of varied facts, this admonition a.
gainst one kind of wars and warriors, and
exempli6cation and commentator of an.
other kind, or both, given in the Old Testa-
ment? The real and appropriate answer
is that God, foreseeing the prevalence Of
wars, thus prepared the necessary warnings
and instructions to guide and control men
and nations.
AS an inference to all these facts, and as
conclusion to this letter, hope it is evil
dent to you, gentlemen, that the writer is
of the opinion that going to war is no ne
cessary reflection against mans greatness,
or moral worth, or Christian character
You may have and exhibit all these and yet
be in the camp, and ready for the field -
The cause that summons you to arms is a
just one-one in which you may ask for
Gods blessing, and hope for victory. All
you now need are the proper spirit and the
proper conduct of true soldier, and this
will be portrayed in the next letter by
MENTOR.

CAMP BEAUREaARD, Sullivan's Island,
Wednesday Morning, May lst.
This day, you know, dear ENQUIRER, is
sacred to beauty and conviviality. The
"Jaspers," as odd as it may appear, are 60
ing to have May Party to day. They are
detailed to work on strong sand-bat' cry,
which the regiment, one company working
each day, are throwing up at the eastern
part of Moultrieville, commanding Mafit's
channel and the landward approaches Of
the Island. 1t is to mount fifteen or twen-
ty guns; and will be the outpost of our
defences.
One or two unpleasant occurrences have
happened between the volunteers and regu'
lars here. A regular, an Irishman we be-
lieve, was court-martialed yesterday for dis
respect to volunteer officer. Neither the
nature of the charge nor the degree of pun
ishment has transplred though it has been
hinted to US, that the regular who was
drinking, cursed the officer, and otherwise
misbehaved to the jeopardiziug Of even his
life.
There is doubtless liquor on the Island,
and the soldiers who 60 to Charleston each
day-from so to 100 in number-can pro-
cure it there without any trouble. We
saw quite scene on the beach the other
day. Three men were carrying fourth.
Mr.. Fourth had lost the use of his legs
It's whole weight was thrown upon the
arms and shoulders Of his comrades, and
his ong-drawn, palsy-stricken strides were
comical enou b, if not associated with the
idea of beastly intoxication. He would 60
20 or 80 yards and then drop to his knees,
and finally fiat upon the ground. His COM
rades appeared to be clever gentlemen, and
exerted themselves as busily as ants, to get
the fellow out of disgrace. At last, wor.
ried out, one of them shouldered him, pre-.
cisely as he would slaughtered hog, and
carried him off, He was not of our regi
ment.
We learn that man was cut to pieces
near Morris Island by shark on last Fri
day. On Sunday little oar boat upset
with some half dozen of the regulars sta
toned here. "Nobody hurt" They were
brought ashore by smack. As they near
ed the beach, fully half the regiment turn
| ed out to see the snow.
The ENQUIRER comes to camp now anc
is most welcome visitor. Our volunteers
eagerly read everything they see abou
home.
All we'll; and uniforming and drilling

distressing event occurred yesterday
morning at the residence of Mrs. JAMES K.
POLK A servant, who had been sick for
some days, left her chamber, procured a
knife, killed three of her children and imme-
diately afterwards cut her own throat; and is
now languishing with but little hope of re-
eogery. The COroner's Inquest returned
verdict of death by the hands of the mother,
whilst laboring under a fit OF insanity.
Though deran cement was hereditary in that
family of servants. until the day before the
tradegy, at no time had there been any rea-
son to suspect that her mind was not sound.
The servant was remarkable for her excel
lent traits OF character, having always been
kind to her own children, and respectful and
obedient to her owners, who sincerely regret
the distressing circumstance.
