= On Thursday last, Mr, HARVEY R 1 PoAe'
of Jour District, while passing between two
cas- near the Charlot.s Depot, was thrown
down, breaking one leg, and 50 badly lacer'
asing the other, that he, was taken to the
adjacent hospital, where he diedia, few
hours. We learn tbathe had just resigned
his commission in the militia, and was on
bis way to enter one Of the companies Of
Camp Hampton, - ,sg.eo., =, ...~.,a. =
The camps of the 9th and 7th are still
disorgauized, many privases going home a.
waiting orders The sshis ordered to leave
for Georgetown tomorrow, (Tuesday) bat
It's thought difficulty will occur there
The fact that the 1st Reserves have been
'sssold" to the Confederacy is apparent

ed, depends on the answer Of President Da.
Wis to the resolution, instructiug the Cover
nor to. communicate With him, asking the
withdrawa. Of those ever As. One month
has already elapsed, and I think it very
probable that all over that age will be sent
home. The Legislature sits on this sub.
ject with closed doors, so all action is mere
ly surmise-aud the several camps are left
10 state Of suspense. If we in Con.
federase service, the Legislature can do
nothing for US. ,..-

You will see chat A.. c.. DARLINGTON,
fofNevberry, has been elected Adjutant
aud Inspector Geueral over General DsSaus
sure by q very decisive vote. The change
seems TO give general satisfaction to all con-
eerned, though General d. was an excel.
lent officer. 81, s.s-:s5 8. a>@e.@-s
The election of Governor IS still on the
tapis. Miles, Boyce, Jameson. Chestnut,
Trcscott, all have their friends, but Ithink
the one is not yet nominated. There are
also vacancies iu the Law Benches, but of
the many spoken of, I trust the claims Of
your townsman, G.. W. WILLIAMS, Esq
will not be overlooked. He is not one Of
ySur pushing men, and therefore is best
calculated for position. -. .-......
Bills are presented for the prospective
supply of salt BY Solar evaporation, but lit
tie has been done to supply present ne
csssities. I hope to see something done
ere lopg--but little time will elapse as it
isproposed to adjourn the Legislature on
theal9th to re assemble on the 10th pro1.
This is understood to be with view to meet
ingthe exigencies of Liucoln's proclamas
tion; which, however, promises to extend its
provisions to the year 1900. Whether the
resolution will pass, I cannot say, but mem
bsrs will manage to be home at Christmas,
if>there should be no fighting iu Charles
ton; and there seems to be little expecta.

his old competitor, Hon. F. J. Moses, it is

The Conscript Exemption Act is having
good effect-the Grani,evile Manufactu-
ring Company has reduced its rates for
drills aud sheetirgs over 100 per cent
which will have to be followed up by other
conpauies-in Augusta, Ga. impressmen'
is going on wholesale, and in this State We
may soon look for the same action-Tan
ners and Shoemakers are most complained
of. and it is understood the act, which will b.
materially assisted by State Legislation, vii
be strictly enforced, and tend, if to no 9th
er end, to greatly strengthen the couscrip
list. In this place, though many store
houses are closed, it is thought that i'm
pressment will have to be resorted to to Sc
cure room for Government stores, as i
is said that the Government is now forward
ing some 600 Hogsheads of Sugar to be pu
in charge of the Com missary at this post
