The MoNoToNY OF CAMP LIFE.-The
following, written at the entrenched camp
near Norfolk, is from a member of the Mo-
bile Gulf City Guards, only seventeen years
of age:
DEAR GRAND Pa: If you only knew
the monotony of camp life you would not
wonder (coming from as feeble a pen as
mine) at my letters being so dull and un-
Interesting. No news, no excitement at
all. Every day the same old thing-drill,
drill, drill; and after that the men return
to their quarters. and there remain n a
kind of trance until some unlucky dog
comes along, when he is Immediately grab
bed by some one, canteen is tied to his
tail, and away he flies amid the yells and
cries of thousand men, making the old
woods ring for miles around and then just
as suddenly, every thing is as quiet as if
nothing had happened.
Occasionally may be heard the loud laugh
of some tired-out soldier: trying to drive
away melancholy thoughts. In the even
ing, very likely, you may see game of
ball but take soldiers life upon the
whole, it reminds me more Of a lot Of cat
tie occasionally being driven around for
some purpose, then going back, stretching
themselves down, giving away to quiet re-
pose. Do not, however, infer from the a.
boye that I am anxious to return home,
for have only to think Of our cause, and
against whom we are fighting, and in mo-
ment my blood boils as if in cauldron.-
Speak of Yankee to any of the men, and
you can see their clutch tighten on their
guns, and some look at their cartridges to
see if they are dry, or cock their guns to
see if the lock works easy, and they are
ready at five minutes notice to march, If
ordered to do so, into the portfolios of Fort
Monroe.

Legislative Vacancies.

We find the following communication
from Gen. Simons, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, in the Charleston pa
pers of yesterday. There will, therefore
be no elections for Representatives ordered
until the House decides the question. 1t
is probable, as each House is judge of the
qualifications of its members, that the same
course will be pursued as regards the Sen
ate:
CHARLESTON, September rs, 1861.
SIR: 1t becomes my duty to inform you
that l have received yesterday, from Mr.
F. J. Moses, jr., your Aid and Private
Secretary, the following communication:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
Headquarters, September l3, 1861.
To the Hon. James ,Simons, Speaker o.
the House Of Representatives:
SIR: BY order of the Governor, en-
close to you the within copy of correspon'
dence, and request your attention to the
points referred to in it.
Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
F. J. MOSES, JR.,
:. Aid and Private Secretary.
Enclosed in this was slip from NOR.
ming journal. containing the correspondence
referred to, to wit letter from you to the
Attorney General, asking his opinion as to
certain supposed vacancies in the Legisla'
ture, arising from disqualification by reason
of acceptance of commissions in the Con-
federate service, so that you might have it
published, in order that call the members
of the Legislature who have accepted such
offices may be informed, and also that cleo,
tions may be held to fll vacancies, as the
Legislature is to meet on the first Monday
in November; also the opinion of the At
torney General in reply to this inquiry"
According to the Constitution of the
State of South Carolina, all questions rela'
ting to the qualifications of members of the
House of Representatives Cat all times re-
garded their highest priviIege) are confded
to the House alone. My own experience
as presiding officer, as we'll as our previous
history, satisfy me that this body has al
ways been alive to the necessity of exclu'
ding even the appearance of interference
with its exclusive control in questions Of
this nature.
However much | may respect the opinion
of the Attorney General, and however
praiscworthy your zeal in this matter may
be, l do not feel myself at liberty, as the
organ and presiding officer of the House, to
receive any instructions on these questions,
or as to my duty in the premises, from the
Executive, or from any other department
of the Government Of the State. l am
therefore constrained to return to you the
communication in question, as the only
course consistent with my sense of duty.
Should you, however, desire to cummu
nicate to the House itself this, or any other
further instructions on the subject of the
qualifications of the members and the duty
of the House in the matter, whatever may
be my own views of the constitutional pro
visions on the subject, will lay before thai
body any such communication coming from
yourself.
I have the honor to be, your obedient
servant, JAMES SIMoNs,
Speaker House of Representatives,
South Carolina.

The Gale.

Yesterday, after showery rain during
the morning about halfpast ten o'clock q
terrific gale came up. Window fastenings
were nothing, and iron was bent and bro.
ken of like pipe-stems. On Main street
the iron posts in front of Walkers, Glass
Nichols and Grifin's stores we're snapped
off as if they were Of some kind of Nichols
wares. Trees were blown down, and the
streets filled with branches. Buggies were
upset, and things in general we're topsy.
turvy, wherever the wind reached.
A portion of the Charleston Depot was
blown of, allighting on some cars standing
on the track of the Greenville Railroad, to
the no small surprise and alarm Of some ne
groes who were engaged in cleaning the
cars. One of the cotton sheds of Messrs.
Lyles & Anderson was blown down. A
portion of the tin roofing of the Charlotte
freight depot was blown off, A number of
fences in different parts of the city were
blown down.
In Cotton Town, the damage was not as
extensive as might have been supposed from
the frail condition of many of the buildings.
About 100 feet each of the sheds belong
ing to Messrs. R. O'Neale and James Cath
cart were demolished, and the front of an
old store blown off.
We learn that the camp at Lightwood
Knot stood the gale pretty well. But few
tents were blown down, but the brush ar
bors in front, of them disappeared with
startling rapidity.
We suppose the storm originated in the
Gulf and has progressed North. About
Midnight it will reach Hatteras, and if
severe will sweep the sand bank. Twelve
years ago, that island did not exist, and a
high tide, from the influence of heavy
gale, will cover its surface. On the coast,
We hope the blockading squadron has felt
its force. .-Cozumbia South Carozinian,

SULPHUR QUESTION SoLvED.-Prof
John Darby, of Auburn, Alabama, former
ly of this State, and favorably known te
many readers as naturalist and teacher
of reputation, has succeeded in making
sulphuric acid from the sulphur of pyrites
which can be found in any quantities a
long the West Point and Atlanta Railroad
In letter to our friends, W. Stevenson &
Co., who have been in correspondence con
cerning this important question, Prof. Oar
by writes:
81 have completed my experiments, and
have been perfectly successful, and last
week made pure sulphuric acid from py
rites, and there is no difficulty in making
nitric acid, muriatic acid, bleaching pow
ders for paper makers, chloroform, sal soda,
&C."
We congratulate the country on this re-
suit and demonstration, and We congratu'
late Prof. Darby on his successful connec
tiou with great public benefit.
We hope be will soon be enabled to put
in operation, under proper authority, Ia
boratory for the supply of sulphur and sui

WASHINGTON ITEM.-An officer IL
General McClellan's army, who is probably
as much in the confidence of the Genera
as any other man, informed me this morn
ing that there will be no immediate move
ment of our army here unless an advance
is made by the enemy. The Government
is in q position now to send one or more
fleets upon the coasts of the enemy, and
carry forward vigorous "fre in the real"
simultaneously at different points. This
is General Scott's position, and in be
has the cooperation Of the Cabinet and
General Mcclellan. The regular and rapid
increase of the vast army here will be con.
tinued, bnt no general engagement will
take place until the ball is opened by the
other party. This, 1 am informed, is the
present policy of the Administration, and
will be carried out by the military, sub
iect to the movements of the enemy.-Cor'
respondence Neap York Tribune.

WITHDRAWAL OF THE FOREIGN MIN
IsTERs FROM MExIco-Of the withdrawal
of the French, English, and Spanish Min
listers from the city Of Mexico, the Fort
Brown Flag says:
"The retiring ministers left for Vera
Cruz, and Immediately gave orders to the
naval squadrons of their different Govern
ments to concentrate at that place, and at
some point on the Pacific side, when it is
designed to seize all the Mexican custom
houses and appoint officers to conduct them
for the different nations claim debts from
Mexico. Under the stipulation entered in'
to between Capt. Dunlop, Of the British
Navy, and the Constitutional Government
of Vera Cruz, Great Britain is entitled to
a certain per cent of the revenue derived
from customs at Vera Cruz and tits intend
ed now to apply this arrangement to all
the ports of Mexico. 1t is not intended
that Mexico shall have more than thirty
per cent, we believe, of the revenues,
which are to be collected and managed by
European officers"
