The Yankee Loss in the Battle OF
r SharDsburg

The slaughter of the Yankees in the battle
of Sharpsburg must have been terrible, even by
their admissions. The correspondent of the
New York Tribune, writing of their loss, says:
1 We have been burrying our dead and car
rying off the field our wounded. I have Just
returned from the sickening spectacle. Soldiers
who went, through all the battles of the PENN.
sula say the battles about Richmond was as
nothing compared with it. The dead lie in
heaps, and the wounded are coming in by
thousands. Around and in large barn about
half a mile from the spot where Gen, Hooker
engaged the enemy's left counted 1850
wounded Along the same road, and within
the distance of two miles, are three more hos
pitfalls, each having from 600 to 700 in them.
and long trains of ambulances standing in the
road waiting to discharge their bloody loads

The Running or OF the steamer
Planter from CharIestOn.

An association OF negros, called the Freed
mems Society" met in New York last week.
Several speeches were made, in one of which
it was stated that a negro woman who had
earned $50 at Hilton Head, s. c., was robbed
Of it by a Yankee while on her way to New
York. Robert Small, the negro who ran the
steamer Planter from the wharf at Charleston,
gave the following account of his exploit:
am called to tell the story of my escape
from Charleston. l do it with tho greatest
pleasure in the world. A hint from shipmate
led me to think about my escape; thought
SO much, / dreamed about it. I told my dream
to my friend, and he agreed with me. We
had meeting at my house and all agreed to
be led by me. On tho 18th of May we had
another meeting, and agreed to start the next
day. We had four heavy guns on board 1
wished we had more to make the boat sail ca
sier. That night we came on board the Plan
ter one at a time, so as not to create suspicion.
Abraham, my friend, carried the trunk, as
though he was taking it to his boat. The wo-
men and children were hid away in the engine
room of another boat. Abraham kept watch
that night, and called me about 12 O'Clock; the
moon was shining right up and down. About
three o'clock the fire was started, and the wind
blew the smoke over the city. was scared.
feared the people would think there was
fire near the wharf, but nobody came. We
moved out of our position, but had to return
to take the women on board, and the boat
moved so nicely up to her place we did not
have to throw plank or tie a rope. 1t was
early, so we steamed slowly down to Fort
johnson. i didn't want to appear in front of
the Fort in the dark, for fear they might sus-
pect me. At the right time l gave the signal
two long blows andia short one. put on
the captains straw hat, and stood so that the
sentinel could not see my color. When beyond
the range of the guns we put on plenty of
steam. hoisted a white sheet, taken from
the bed, and reached the blockading vessels in
safety, and we were received with cheers. A
man and his wife who had escaped from
Charleston in rice barrels, were next introduced.
A handsome collection for the Freedmen's
Society concluded the exercises. y''' s. SILL

Again have our brave boys met the foe upon
the bloody fields, and sealed with death their
devotion to their country's cause The large
list OF martyrs has been heightened, and many
heroes more have poured out their blood as a
libatiop ON their country's altar The meagre
returns thus far received, prevent us from Civ
ing complete list OF, the casualties in the VA
rious companies from Kershaw District
Through the kindness of some reliable friends
who have received letters from their sons, we
have been permitted to extract the names of
several Of our townsmen who have been
wounded:
Col J. 2. KEssHDr had the instep of his
foot slightly bruized and tendon Of his heel
wounded. Adjntant SILL had his head cut by a
piece ofisshell, but is with his regiment. The
Cd Regiment had II killed and 80 or 90
wounded. = a iaaaysf u 5.
AdjutantJ J. M. DAVIS Of the 18th Regiment,

. Captain E. B. CAVITY was severely wounded
in both thighs, but hopes of his recovery is en-
tcrtained. 7
In Capt. LErrSER's company Sergeant WIN
C.DuTToN fell mortally (supposed) wounded,
but was yet alive at last accounts. The enemy
had sent him back to our lines. 1t is possible
he may recover, but not probable. He is at

Monopoly not to be Tolerated.

monopoly not To be Tolerated.
AS we have before observed, not the least of
the evils we are struggling against during these
stormy times is caused by the unprincipled and
outrageous behavior of spectators and monop-
offers in breadstuffs and provisions. The pres
ent high prices of country produce has been to
many matter Of surprise. Farmers are rails
ing more produce now than they ever did at
any period before. Why do the prices of these
articles run SO highs The answer, and the on
ly one we could give, is, that there are specu-
lators here, who are buying up at exhorbitant
prices, everything that comes into town, for
the purpose Of sending it to Charleston and
other markets. They have their runners at
the head of each street entering the town, who
are instructed to buy at any price everything
that will sell. For instance, there are certain
spectators in our COMMUNICATIVE By the
way, are not regular merchants offer to
give as high as one dollar per pound for all the
butter that may be brought to them, and pro-
portionatc prices for most other articles of con-
sumption, which the good people of our com
munity really need. These articles are not
sold again in the town Of Camden, but are
sent off to other markets ~ ds' tEi
Now, while our people are quite ready to ex- x
tend the right hand Of welcome to any refugee
or others who are or may be driven from
their homes, we are unwilling to suffer
through the avaricions acquisitiveness Of
those who have come here for double pur-
pose, viz: to avoid military service in Charles
ton or elsewhere, and make money. We be-

bers of the bar, medical students, artists, arti-
zans, and number of the honest yeomanry
our State may well boast of-all of whom are
rapidly becoming perfected in that branch Of
the military, under the careful management
and drill of Capt DEPAss-who seems to be
the soul of his command. We think after
close observation, chat few commanders eniovs'

men, as Captain D. One universal plaudt was
rendered him wherever we heard his name
mentioned in camp or abroad. No member of
his company is allowed.to suffer, where human
power can alleviate in any way the pains of
disease.
To the indomitable perseverance of Capt.
DEPAss can alone be attributed the complete
success he has met with. He is not indebted
to any source whatever-either to Government
or private individuals-for his equipment. His
keen perceptive eye and untiring will has Sc
cured to him his present competent corps of

GRAND RoNDE RIvER.-We are informed by
Mr.. Charles E. Fox, who came over the new trail
from Grand Ronde valley last week, that the
country along the Grand Ronde river and on the
south side Of the mountains along the trail, is in
every respect as much gold bearing region in
appearance as any of the country south in the di-
rection of Powder river. Mr.. Fox is an expe-
rienced miner, and predicts that good mines will
yet be found in the locality mentioned.

PREVENTION OF FIREs.-Since the fire of
last week, our people have become some
what solictous as to providing means for prevent
ing fires in our city, The present is a good time
to make movement in this direction. We un-
derstand proposition is about to be submitted to
the City Council by responsible parties, to supply
the city with water by iron pipes leading down
Main street from Mill creek, provided a charter
for this purpose is obtained. A hydraulic press
ure sufficient to throw water over the highest
buildings may be had by extending the pipe about
four hundred yards up Mill Creek, which in case
of fire could be effectively used by supplying
hose at different points The City Council should
devise some means for resisting fres and the
sooner the better; for under the present state Of
things, should a fire break out on Main street, all
the efforts that might be made to prevent gen
era confagration would be impotent. 1t was
most fortunate circumstance that the building
which burned the other evening was detached
from the main portion of the city. Had it been
anywhere in the midst of Main street, the flames
arising from it would have swpet the town, and no
fire appliances that we possess at present could
have prevented it. Let movement of some kind
be made to supply this deficiency.
New ROUTE FROM CALIFORNIA TO POWDER
RIvER.-We learn from Mr. Barnett, who ar
rived few days since from Powder river, that
Capt. J. P. Walker, with a company of forty-four
men, all in good~health and fine spirits, arrived
in Powder river valley, making the journey from
Sonoma county, California, in ffy-fve days
The route is a very practicable one FOR wagons.
The country through which they passed is we'll
adapted to stock-raisng and farming. They also
found some Of the richest mining sections in the
upper country on the head of John Day and Nal
heur rivers. They estimate the distance by this
trail from Sonoma county to Powder River to be
about 800 miles.
RISE IN PROWsIONs.-In consequence of the
recent increased demand for -four and bacon, and
the delay in the transportation of goods from the
lower country, some of the staple articles are be-
coming scarce, and have risen to a high figure.
Flour is held at from $16 to 500 per hundred,
and there is but little in markets bacon 80 cts
beans IS cts, firm; Sugar % cts. coffee 40 cts.
During the past week there have been several
trains in town from the upper country, all of them
for the purpose of loading with -four. We sup
pose it will be several days at least before the
damage done to the railroad at the portage can
be repaired in the meantime a limited supply OF
goods will be brought around the Cascades by
teams.
