BE on the Look Out.

The tug of war is now upon us, and the
season for spies and traitors has come. Il
becomes us to exercise great vigilance, and
to nip 10 the.bud every hostile purpose that
may be indicated. The signs are not hard
to understand.
We are, informed (says the Southern
GUARDIAN that in the .neighborhood o.
White Hall, in the southeastern part Of
Abbeville District, several horses have
been recently stolen that white men wear
ing blue pants, strangers there, have been
seen lurking about the woods sometimes
copversing with negroes. Faithful negroes
report that they have been offered $40 BY
these men to steal horse for,them, &c.,
Nc: Vigilance, frmness and organization
are now required everywhere Every
neigh5orhood and every man remaining in
the country should keep circumspect, cool
and wide awake,

on the contrary, new grounds of assurance
with regard to the ultimate and certain

embarked. No local or occasional disaster
can check the onward progress Of our great
cause which has been blessed with the ap.

Chickamauga, this morning. The injury
was small. All the trains we're delayed
several hours.
The enemy were signaling oil night, on
Waldon's Ridge, but everything was re.

No further indications of a move on the
part of Roscncraz.
Capt J. R. Rhodes, Of the 1st Confed-
crate Infantry, was shot at noon, for en-.
couraging desertion in his own company and
embezzelpent of the money of substitutes.
He made sort of speech, acknowledging
the justice of the sentence, but manifested
little concern, and died without struggle.

CAMP NEAR Mount PLEASANT, |

CAMP NEAR Mount PLEASANT,
18th Regiment, S G. ", Sep. l, '63.
Dear Enquirer There is much dissat-
isfaetion existing in camp among those who
at home occupied an inferior position in o
pecuniary point of view. The question
naturally arises, why is this? Why should
true Southerners be dissatisfied while en-.
gagged in as noble a -canse as ever actuated
nation of people; I say why should they
be dissatisfied? When it il for the we'll
being of all that is worth fighting for, viz !:
their liberties, homes and families. The
question is easily solved; 60 through the
camps at twilight, when the men are seated
around their dimly burning fires, and hear
the complaints as they utter them, relative
to those who at home are living on the fat
of the land, and rejoicing in. the contiuu.
ance of the war, merely because it affords
them an opportunity of enlarging their
Golfers; and storing away money, which, if
properly distributed, would render the fam
lilies of soldiers happy and prosperous, and
at the same time restore that satisfaction
which is destitute in our ranks. Let, not
this be as have frequently heard it called,
the rich mans aoar and thepoor mans fight,
but let us all, rich apd>poor, with one &C.
cord, shoulder our muskets, and readily re-
spond to the call of our country, in which
all are equally interested and thus let us
continue our efforts without abatement,
never looking back, unless it is to obtain a
glimpse of those brilliant achievements with
which we intend to decorate our future his.
tory, and which is to be the wonder and
admiration of the world, but let US press on
with clear conscience and an open coun..
tenance, feeling that we are sure of the ap.
probation and support of the God of Battles,
So long as we are actuated by purely patri:
otic motives. Then, as this is fight in
which all are equally interested iu, let each
one act we'll his part, so that be can say,
when his liberties are gained and his coun.
try is looked upon as one Of the brightest
jewels among the nations of the earth; 1t

Heavy Bombardment.

CHARLESTON, September 5.-To:day has
witnessed another furious bombardment Of
Batteries Wagner and Gregg by the enemy's
feet and land batteries The firing was be-
gun at daylight and maintained steadily till
dark. 4 monitor is now firing at Mcultrie.
Another assault on Wagner is deemed not
improbable tonight Since Tuesday night,
no further attack has been made on Sumter.
Brickbuilt Sumter has been held twenty
days against all the efforts Of the euemy's
great guns by land and sea 1857 shots
have been fired at it. 3,595 have struck
outside, 2,l39 inside. The flag has been
shot away fourteen times Orders against
exposure having been rigidly enforced, the
casualties were few.

Printing Without Ink.

A gentleman, large capitalist, and one
of the most successful inventors of the day,
has succeeded in chemically treating the
pulp, during the process of manufacturing
printing paper, in such manner that, when
the paper, is impressed upon the uninked
types, the chemical particles are crushed,
and perfect black impression is the result.
The advantage sought to be obtained is the
discardng of ink and rollers, aud by re-
volutiouizing printing machinery, and
printing from continuous roll of paper, it
is. calculated that the time occupied in in
pressing large quantities of paper will be
nominal in comparison to the requirements
of the present day. Cleanliness in the
printing Office would thus become proVer
bial, and the time now wasted in making
and distributing the rollers obviated. We
have been assisting this gentleman in some
parts of the experiment, and further intor-
nation is withheld at his request until let
tiers patent snail be obtained.-London
