Tohing the Ptedye Not to Sell Liquor
to Sotiiers-Colonel Thomas, whose regi-
ment is now in camp at Brattleboro', has
performed an exploit worthy of notice
He has made all the rumsellers in the vii
lage sign the temperance pledge. The
way it happened was as follows Several of
the soldiers had been furnished with liquor.
The Colonel demonstrated, but without ef
feet Again the soldiers returned to camp
intoxicated Colonel Thomas, indignant
in view of such lawlessness, ordered out an
armed company, and, with pledge in hand,
led them to the village. He visited each
hotel and grocery suspected, and demanded
of the landlord to sign pledge not to sell
any more liquor to his soldiers. A refusal
to comply would make their liquor con-
traband of war and consign it to destruc-
ton. All the transgressors signed the
pledge.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH.


RICHMOND, April l7.-Oficial dispatches
last night from Lees Farm, ir the Peninsula,
state that the enemy commenced bombarding
our lines yesterday at half past eight o'clock
a. M, and continued until seven, p. m. The
attack was on our centre, and was splendidly
repulscd. They tried to force Gen. Cobb's po-
sition at Lees and Winn's mills They waded
up to their arm.pits, but were driven out and
rcpulsed with heavy loss. Our troops behaved
nobly.
At 10 o'clock our loss was 20 killed, inclu-
ding Col. Mckenzie, of the 18th N. c. Rcgi-
ment Not over rs wounded. Eight battery
horses were killed, and one howitzer disabled.

Death of Gen. A. ii. GLADDEN..

With sorrow we heard, on Tuesday last. of
the death of this gallant son of South Carolina
His devotion to his native State was first shown
as a private in the Richland Rifle Company,
in the Florida campaign Of 1886. In that
capacity he evinccd the character of true
soldier in learning to obey. lie was ever at
his post, ready for duty. His name is in the
pages of history for his gaantry as Major of
the Palmetto Regiment in Mexico, and subse-
quently Colonel. after the death of Coils But
LER and DICKINSON. His elevation to the dis
tinguished position Of Brgadier is an evidence
that his ability as an officer was appreciated );
and fully was that shown by the great services
that brigade rendered on the memorable day
in which he received the wounds which termi-
mated his life.

Prayer Meetings.

Every afternoon this week the congregations,
worshiping in the Presbyterian, Methodist and
Baptist churches, in this place, have met in
their respective places of worship, alternately,
and united to suplcate the blessing of God
upon our country, our rulers and our soldiers.
They feel it to be time of great anxiety, and
of consequence the most momentous. AS a
Christian people they desire to look to the Su-
preme Ruler of men and nations; that he
would manifest bis power in our behalf. The
meetings have been well attendcd-a deep Sc
robustness pervading a indicating the presence
Of Gods spirit. May it be poured out in large
measure.
In the Episcopal Church, during the week.
there has been service, daily.

Tho Spirit Of our People.

There is none of those outbursts Of noisy
demonstrations at the recent victories of our
army in the West, manifested by the ringing of
bells and illuminations, which the North ex-
hibited after the fall of Fort Donelson. The
feeling is one of deep and intense gratitude,
mingled with sense of our great losses.
Many of our best men have been killed-thc
lights of many households have been cxtin-
guished. We rejoice with trembling, thankful
that God has crowned the hcroism of our brave
volunteers with success. The country owes
them a debt that can never be paid. All
honor to the Southern heroes that gained the
victory at Shiloh.

CoRINTH, April 12.-DespotcA to tSaounnah
Repubhcom.-No general engagement has ta-
ken place since the memorable struggle of the
9th and 7th. We still hold part of the battle
field, and considerable skirmishing is going on
daily, in which the Confcderatcs nearly always
get the best.
The Federal official papers found on the bat
tie field shows that their cxpcditionary forces
on the river, exclusive of that of General Bu-
cll's command, amounted to sixty-one thou
sand
Packages ofpoisoned balls were also found on
the field among the ammunition of the enemy.
1t has been definitely asccrtained, by scientific
analysis, that quantities of quinine, which the
enemy allowed to be smuggled across the line
into the Confederate States, contains poisonous
adulterations.
The towns of Huntsville and Decatur, in
Alabama, have been occupied ty the enemy.
This was expected by our Generals, and should
create no alarm. When the FeGcrals came to
the bridge at Decatur the draw was raised by
the officer in command, to prevent them cross
ing, whereupon the enemy threatened to shell
the town if it was not let down. The citizens.
desirous of avoiding the fire of the enemy, pre-
vailed on the officer to let it down.
General Wallace of the Federal army, was
killed in the late battle.

and Chairman of Finance Board

TIE DEsERrERs AT AUGusrA-Wc publish
ed from the Augusta Conshiut'anolist, a state
mcnt that certain South Carolina troops of
Lytbgoe's regiment, chiefly, it is said, from
Edgefed District, refused in passing through
Augusta, to go out of their State to fight, on
the ground that they had enlisted for local
defence only. There is no reality in the ground
assumed by these misguided men, as n iustfca-
ton for conduct so unsoderly, so unpatrotic,
so wanting in every element of honor. The
fair fame Of the State is irreparably wounded
by this wretchcd business. Tho discipline of
the Confederate soldiers is deeply involved
South Carolina washes her hands of these I'M
worthy SONS, and rcpudiatcs their conduct.
1t is to be hoped that both the men who acted
thus, and the officers who permitted it, will be
summariy dealt with by the military author
tics. Nothing less will meet the cxigencics of
the ccasion.-Mercury.
