MILITARY.

BY an order from the Adjutaut Generals
Office, the Company formed in the 9th
Regiment, Of Chester District, has been
transferred from the fourth to the fifth Re-
giment of Militia, with the Goth from the
same District The election for Field Of
fcers came off on Friday last, the result we
are not likely to receive in time for this
paper.
While on this subject, we would state
that diversity of ofopinion still exists as to
the "disposition" of those persons iuthe Or
sauization between the ages of 40 and 45.
We wrote to the Adjutant General, but he
has not replied, SO it must yet be consider
cred an unsettled matter. At present the
organization numbers 1884, if those under
As are conscripted now, the number will
fall considerably below the 5000 required,
and perhaps another call be made to supply
the deficiency. If the troops are orderea
into camp previous to the lst Of September,
when he'enrolment goes into effect, the or
ganization will probably remain, as we have
said, Hintact,"--as it is

The following article, from the. Edge6eld
Advertiser will suit we'll enough for this
quarter We have arms, it is true, but
they are locked up in some safe place,
where their condition will not probably be
much improved. We would suggest that
the citizens organize in some way, to make
the arms -and ammunition available and
fit for service when they are needed. Se-
curity will be required for the safe keeping
and return of the arms, of course, but this
should be readily accorded, and proper
steps be taken at once to sho,9 our means
Of defence arc ample.
. "MR. EDITOR Cannot the people of
the Villages in the State be induced to re-
quest and obtain from the Governor, IT

to remain passive, indolently discussing the
progress of subjugation, until their home
steads are surrounded by the foe. Shall the
apathy that lost Vicksburg and Port Hud-
sou, and which now makes Charleston trem.

THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.


There has been nothing of startling i'm
portance transacted the past week, what
news We have is mostly thro' Yankee sour,
ces. As our contemporary of the Courier
says; if they tell the truth, "great blessings
are about being outpoured upon the South
e.n Confederacy. The Emperor of the
French has determined to take part with
US. England iateuds presenting US with
aa iron clad navy, completely furnished
with guns, ammunition, marines, and sea-
men, yaDd men in power in Liucolndom are

quo, as the lawyers say, though appear
anccs on both sides give "note Of busy prep
aration" The good Fort Wagner holds
out faithful, while the citizens seem to think
the old city impregnable. Large numbers
of vessels are in Stono, and frsm the cor
struction of semi circular battery on Morris
island, it is thought the Yankees mediate
strong attack On james Island. We will
be prepared to meet them, we learn, as all
their moves have been anticipated.
In Virginia, we learn that Ewell has
Joined Lee, and it may be possible that
Grant will assist Meade, aud before long Q
great battle-msy be fought in another son

Weldon may be diverted by the prompt
movement Of our troops, but we may look
for some demonstration iu another quarter.
Oar armies are now becoming massed, and
thus we anticipate, as our wishes of course
incline us, the mcst favorable results.
From the West, We hear little of john

The following is the only announcement
we have of the fact: which seems to be gen.
orally conceded 1t is an official telegram
from Col. Shackeiford, dated "near New

"By the blessings of Almighty God, |

It has been since stated that Morgan and
his command would be placed in the Ohio
