We are panied to learn, by telegraph dcs-
patch received from Richmond on the 18th inst.
that Mr.. JOHN N. Mcleod, of Kershaw Dis
trict, was accidentally killed on the railroad,
near that city. Mr. Mcleod was one of the
many cstimabe citizens our District can boast of
and none amongst them was to be found ono
more upright in the transactions of every day
life, or more industrious and Intelligent, in the
capacity of farmer. He was on visit to the
camps near Richmond, to see his sons, now
serving in the army in Virginia. His loss will
be mourncd by numerous relatives and friends.

The Second South Carolina Brigade, attach

the Richmond Dispatch, under the immediate
command of Col. jenkins, of the Palmetto
Sharpshootcrs, in the bloody fight of Monday
evening, June 3Oth. In brilliant charg.
upon Il Federal battery, although enfiaded for
more than three hundred yards by battery of
twelve guns, which dealt death and destruction
throughout their ranks, the brigade never fall
tered, but obstinately pressed forward, routing
and driving the enemy and capturing their
guns. The galantry of the Palmetto Sharp.

kins made some almost miraculous escapes
His horse was twice shot, his bri,llc-rcin cut in
two at his hand, a part Of his sword carried
away 10y grape, and broken close to his side
by a Minnie ball, his sword knot cut, an India
rubber blanket perforated fifteen times and
his right arm disabled, but happily no. to such
an extent as to compel him to retire from the
field. The following is rccapitulation of the
casualties in the brigade.

The smaid Nho binds her warriors sash,
And smiling, all her pain di.sembles,
The while beneath the dfooping lash,
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles--
Though heaven clone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart hes shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the ield Of gloryl
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep and wonder,
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly inher dreams to hear
The bolts Of war around him rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plains of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as eer the sod
Received on freedoms field of honor!

quest for publication, the orders of General
Beauregard, and of Brigadier-Gcneral Chal-
mers, noticing, in terms of high praise, the
gallant conduct of Capt. B. B. McCaa, and his

formation to many who know him well, and

The General commanding takes pleasure in
calling the attention of the armies of his De-

warded with the badge of honor" on some
suitable occasion.
This success should teach our cavalry forces
what they can accomplish by bravery and da-
ring, and should incite them to like deeds of
valor.

The ADglo-American quarrel has been ter
minated by the surrender of Mason and Slidell !;
peace Is secured, and the British aristocracy,
which was bent on war for its own purposes, 10
going to be somewhat embarrassed BY this unex.
pected turn Of fortunes wheel. The American
democracy has won substantial victory. II
has proved that politics are not, a. the vulgar
imagine, . sacred and occult science, which
none but the descendants Of long line of NO.
bles can comprehend; but that men In plain
coats without orders or decorations, and in the
habit of going down to their Offices in an omni-
bus, can often give lessons, in this respect to
title and high born dignitaries.
The British Government eagerly seized upon
the prelext of the Trent affair to 60 to war
This pretext has now been removed. It 10 said
that another will be discovered, but this will
not prove Is easy ~ is supposed. The var party
in England showed its hand too soon, and too
plainly. Every body now perceives that Eng.
land wanted war for the sake Of her own inter
ests. Public opinion in Europe will be unani-
nous against her If abe tries, BY some new trick
or other, to reopen the quarrel. An Anglo.
American war IL impossible for some time to
come. The Americans, BY acknowledging their
error, and taking reason for their guide instead
Of passion, have secured this result and proved
themselves . strong people. eii
Thus freed from approximations Of foreign In
reference, the Northern States can pursue un-
disturbedly, their war with the South. The
Trent affair has, in fact, placed them in better
position In regard to the war than they occupied
previously, for 1t has led Congress to adopt a
more decided course in regard to the slavery
question This matter Of slavery is now direct
y ct issue between the North and the South,
and the Governments of Europe are forced to
face directly principle which they have for
many years emphatically recognised and pro-
claimed. Under these circumstances none Of
them can recognize the slave confederation, and
the Government Of England is bound, hand and
foot. Such is the circumstance to.day.-lParis
