THE DRAFT OF CAMP-FoLLowERs.

We learn that Lieut. Col. J.zF. Hall, Provost
Marshal General, is actively pushing the prepara-
ton of the necessary lists for the enforcement of
the Draft of fable-bodied camp followers, provided
for in General Orders, No. Al, current series, OF
this Department. In addition to those who have
sent in their names as ordered, black lists are
being prepared of those who hope to evade the
draft by keeping out of the way for few days;
and for these, no excuse whatever will be cOnsid-
cred. They will be seized when they least expect,
and will fnd themselves suddenly elevated, against
their wills, to the dignity of armed soldiers of
a somewhat similar order in regard to the camp
followers of the army of the Potomac, and it has
been received with approval and ludicrous sense
of extreme delight'by all classes Of the country.
We learn that from Col. Halls decisions there will
be no appeal, as it is the determination of Gen.
Hunter to enforce to the letter the provisions Of
this sautary order and he fails to in the class
of unauthorized traders, hucksters, land specula-
tors, bil-discounters and gamblers who infest the

ed by recent legislation upon all citizens remaining
in the orthern States. AS the men to be drafted
under General Orders, No Al, viii not be fit for
regular military duty for some time, We learn tfat

falling back on large rebel force Oh the Ashapoo

of flags, and an uninterrupted pipe OF the steam

body under Col. Montgomery, but he succeeded
in holding them at bay until the Adams came
when few well-directed shells drove them back
and totally dispersed them. Capt. Ihom, sons
company was compelled to undergo sharp COLI

artillery. The Adams shelled them off, No one
was hurt.

evening last, FIVE Companies OF the ID s. g., Vols,
and Section of Battery =, 81 K. 1. Artillery,
Capt Brayton, under the command of Col. Mont
gomery started on an expedition which had for Its
main object the recruiting OF soldiers for the I'd
S. c. Regiment. The troops were put aboard the
transports John adams, the Sentinel, and Harriet
A. Weed, and the expedition getaway from Beau
fort at about clock, and without accident or
detention, proceeded as far as st. Helena Sound,
when the Sentinel got fast aground, and some time
was consumed in transferring them from her to the
adams and Weed. At half past two O'Clock the
force arrived at the mouth of tue Cohambee river,
and pushed rapidly but silently up that stream
without being discovered by the enemy. por-
ton of the force was landed at Fields Point, a
place about 20 miles up the river, whore was post
cd rebel picket, which incontinenty fed, leaving
their blankets wasm to our forces. Capt. Thopp-
sons Company was hereposted in deserted breast-
works by Col. Montgomery, andthe balance of thu
force proceeded up the river in the two transports,
to Tar Bluff, two miles above, where some desert
ed rife pits were found, and Capt. Caryer's COM
pany left to occupy them. The two stea .ers
again moved up the river to Nichols plantation,
mile or two above, where the Weed was LETT ip
charge of Major Corwin, and the John Adams rap
idly steamed up to Cohambee ferry, across which
was fine pontoon~ bridge This was taken up,
but not before rebel cavalry company had pass
cd over while the guns of the kdams threw shells
at them. Distractions across the river prevented
the Adams from ascending still higher, and after
the pontoon bridge was burned, she turned and
passed slowly down the river again. While the
pontoon bridge was being destroyed, Capt. Hoyt's
company was sent up the right bank CT the river,
to capture and Destroy and also to collect negroes
Capt Brayton with his section of Battery, started
up the left bank. Capt. Hoyt pushed on his little
force, with skirmishers ahead, to Green Pond,
where Col. Hayward resided, in magnificent
style, in a mansion that equsiled any on the
main. Col Hayward managed to escape, but car
ried nothing with him. His horses were captured,
his sabre taken-as he did not seem to have time
enough to carry it with him, and a quantity OF
other movables borne away. Large aud extensive
rice mills and store houses and warehouses
were completely destroyed, and finally the man
sion itself was burned. The quantity of rice and
cotton burned was immense. While returning, a

Fxorcu TINE WAsTED.-From the proceedings
of tho Union caucus we are led to believe that
mucb time will intervene before the election of a
United States Senator. This we deeply regret ID
common with every citizen of the State who has
the interest of the Government and the people at
beart. 1t is strange that the people of Callfor
MIA are thus to be tortured from year to year in
selecting good and competent men TO represent
the State in the Senate of the United States 1t
ia still more strange that bribery and corruption,
as we'll as the undue interference of Federal Of
ficers have attended and characterized the Sena-
torial contest from the organization of the State
to the present time,
After months delay and the pushing aside
of more important business pertaining to the
LEGISLATION of the State, the people are now COM
pensated by the disclosure of the most obnoxious
intrigues and schemes &c accomplish that which
should be done in honor, in harmony, and with
the single view of electing to the Senate a man
whose known integrity and ability would reflect
honor on the State in that high position. The
caucus assembled for the purpose of nominating
finds itself turned into a court Of inquiry and III
yestigation, in fact presenting more the phases
OF a criminal tribunal than an assembly OF the
representatives of the people.
The Union party has within its organization
men endowed with every virtue, whose cDarac-
ters shine with uDdmmed lustre, and whose pub
lie records are without stain. Let one OF the
MANY such be brought forward without delay
and the election be decided. We hsve rehaned
from indicating partial views in behalf of any
particular man. believing that the Union party
would elevate no man who was not fitted Tor the
position. But from the report of the proceedings
now being daily furnished, we are impressed with
the belief that those who cling with such per-
tinactty TO their favorte idols are doing their
utmost to initiate the corruptions of the old DEM
ocratic party. We are rejoiced to see, however,
that there are men before the caucus who are
worthy of the confidence Of the people, and We
hesitate not to say to our representatives and the
representatives Of the great Union party that no
further time should be wasted in fruitess efforts
10 vindicate the injured innocence of the asp-
rants, or 10 clear up the doubtful character Of
their agents. Should the choice of the caucus
fall on John Conness, we believe that the mass Of
the Union people of this State would endorse the
action with the liveliest appreciation, or should
the Hon. A. A. Sargent be preferred, the people
would have equal cause for rejoicing. The State
would secure In the services Of either Of those
gentlemen representative 10 the Senate whose
time would be devoted to the best interests OF
the Government in this trying period Of our bis
tory. Then we say to the Union party, act and
act Immediately

The MURDER OF DERRICKsON.--We mentioned
last week the shooting Of George W. Derricksou,
OF the Washoe Times. He was brutally muir
dered by yagabond who tried to impose on the
paper an article as original which had been pub
lshed in its columns less than three months be-
lore. The editor Gen. Allen) gave him a sound
atiray in which DerricksOn was killed. Refer
ilng to the tragedy Gen. Allen says in the Times
OF the 24th inst: "Yesterday morning, about
halfpast nine o'clock, George W. Derrickson, the
proprietor of this paper, was murdered The

The SAME OLD SoNG.-Our attention was re-
Gently called to stray number of the Sacramen
TO Rspubliean, a " Constitutional Democratic Z"
organ, and we were struck with the fact that its
leader, like those Of all the other national and
constitutional expOanders, from the Express to
the Skedaddle, wus q review of the acts Of the
President and the Administration, pointing out
and exposing the violations Of the Constitution,
but containing no expressions Of disapprobation
of the acts of jeff Davis and his followers.
There seems to be stereotyped style and cat
iik parades as charges against fbaa III VI tnat
Government, so far as they have fallen n1der6ui
observation, and we will venture to predict that
every constitutional shrieker that shall be
started in this State from till the rebellion is
expunged, and which clandestnely strive to
SOW the seeds of discord and strife among loyal
citizens, in order TO foster the cause Of traitors,
will open with the same old song-revewing all
the acts Of the Federal Government, and accusing
the President of violating the Constitution.
Being the guardians Of Constitutional rights of
the rebels, and the advocates Of "peace" of
course they will not be able to discover that the
acts Of JEFF. Davis d Co. in raising an army and
navy, levying war upon the United States, Citing
out pirate ships to plunder on the high seas, and
filling Southern prisons with Union men, for no
other crime than devotion to their regularly es-
tablsbed Government, are in violation of that
sacred instrument.
