Affairs Near ChnrIrston.

Affairs remain quite unchanged on the Sea
Islands about Charleston. The entente coytIi1Is
which has existed between our own and rebel
pickcts has been somewhat shaken hy a proper
order on the part Of the general commanding
there, iurhdding personal communication he
tween them. Quite friendly relation had
been established, through which an interchange
of luXurcs have been effected, coffee being bar-
tered for tobacco, the articles crossing the inlet
in little sail-boats imprOvscd for the occasion.
and at all times the most honorable mode of
dealings being observed on either side
Several soldiers having swan the inlet and
landed on the rebel shore, and thereafter under
going a severe and exhaustive pumping pro
cess at the hands Of rebel officers, the order
above alluded to was promptly issued, and
communication promptly prohibited. No
pCket-tirlng is allowed on either side. Taking
advantage Of this wise understanding. many
Charleston ladies are daily seen walking the
rebel beach, and observing, doubtless. with a
great deal Of interest, the movements of the
" Yankees" on Folly Island, who have cy-
hibitcd qualities not unlike other human and
civilized beings. 1t is to be hoped that the
minds Of the rebel ladies will he disahused of
many erroneous impressions of Northern pco
Pile, by their healthy constitutional walks. in
which they now indulge.

only make a martyr of hlm-.jUa ,Ohdt he aud

In Richmond more than two years since, he
promised he would go when the conflict
opened. He did not keep his word. Probably
for the reason, entertained by many others who

OF Government which they boldly denounCe
and despise, that he could better serve the rebel
cause by remaining within the Federal lines.
