ST. Louis, No., JAZZ. 81; 1853.
Detached from the regiment for Few days
as am, I have but little to write al The pres
ent time Concerning its condition, &c. The
headquarters are at W4llsville on he North
Missouri r. r., but portions Of the regiment
arc stationed along the road. The boys say
their bill Of fare is fitch and pilot bread
Most, Of the soldiers are comfortably quar-
tered in the deserted buildings Of srcesh.
The trial of Col Williams is progressing
slowly at this place. 1t commenced some
three weeks since, and will be finished in
the course Of two or three weeks TO those
unacquainted it may seem strange that so
much time should be occupied in one case,
but be it remembered that in military affairs
nothing is done in haste. The questions pro-
pounded to the witness arc first put in wri-
ting, then passed to an officer for his con-
sideration, then to another for the same pnr-
pose, and so on, and are finally read to him
who is to answer them. Some one has used
the quotation "'rhe mills of the gods grind
slowly but cffectually." It would not be
strange if some of the millers in this case
were put into the hopper and ground out
One of the members. Of Company X, jeff,
who by the way is a decided character, short
time since, in some way, became the owner
and possessor Of bottle of quinine, and
thinking to. raise the condition of his funds
by the means, proceeded to Surgeon Edwards
proposed to sell the sam, to him. The Sur
geon, who has been out of Dixie's land long
enough to have adopted some of the Yankee
pcculiarities, Immediately proceeded to ques-
ton him as to where he got the quininc.-
jeff, as usual, was ready with an answer,
and replied that he saved it from the large
doses that he the surgeon administed to him
last fall: Poor Jeff. found himself under ar
rest soon after upon the charge of taking
quinine without prescription. ..'..

SorTH CARoLINA.-There is well found
cd belief Of serious disaffection to the rebel
government at Charleston, amounting almost
to insurrection, by reason of the apparent
abandonment Of the South Carolina coast to
national invasion, and the immense destruc-
sioa ofproperty that owners have willingly
Consigned to the flames.

lion dollars worth of cotton, which, at last
accoancs they were deplorng, as they sup
posed the blockade was about to be raised by
England, and they might have shipped and
sold it. They were holding jeff Davis re-
sponsible for their disastrous losses, and many
citizens were bold enough to say that the old

aid:
A body of the enemy was posted on COM
manling hill, and it became necessary to dis
lodge them. The l4th Kentucky volunteer
ed for the service, as they knew the nature
of the ground Said Col. Garfield, 'Go in
boys, give them-HaH Columbia ~
The hill was cleared, and soon the reserve
of the brigade came in at double quick. As
soon as he saw them, Col. Garfield pulled off
his coat and flung it up in the air, where it
lodged in tree, out of reach, The men
threw up their caps with wild shout, and
rushed at the enemy, COL Garfield, IN his
shirt sleepes, leading the way. u,..,
As the Federal troops reached the top oil
the hill Rebel officer shouted in surprise,
"Why how many of you are there p "25,-
900 men d-n you, yelled Kentucky Union
officer, rushing at the rebel. In an instant
tho rebels broke and ran in utter confusion.
Several instances of personal daring and
GOODNESS are related. A member of Captain
Bushnel's company in the AID, was about to
bite cartridge when musket ball struck the
cartridge from his fingers. Coolly facing the
direction from which the shot came, he took
out another cartridge and exclaimed, You
can't do that again, old fellow"
