of truce some eight miles, Offering to sur.
render.
The Yankees appear to be on the eve Of

The death of Gen. jackson has caused

1t is understood that Commodore Lard.

The FIGHT IN GULPEPER COUNTY
The details Of Tuesdays battle in Culpep-.
er county are still meagre. It appears to
have been fought upon the farm of John s..
Barbour, Esq, near Brandy Station. The
enemy's force, consisting Of from fifteen to
twenty thousand men crossed the river at
an early hour in the morning, got in the
rear of our pickets and captured them, and
pressed rapidly onto ourcamps, whcih they
surprised and threw into some confusion.
Falling upon General Jones, brigade, which
they found in the act of forming, they piero-
ed and broke our lines, and forced our men
to fall back. tits stated that they captured
Gen. Stuart's headquarters, near Brandy;
also Brandy Station, and it is understood,
some stores there. Our men, recovering
from their surprise, now CAME rapidly for.
ward, and threw themselves upon the enc
my, and desperate hand to hand fight, With
sabres, ensued. The enemy were driven to
point nearer to the river, With consider-.'
able loss 10 killed, wounded aud prisoners
The fight lasted unti Ave o'clock IN the
evening, when the enemy we're repulsed at
all points, and finally driven back across
the Rappahanock. Riich. Rhig, 18Th.

From Vicksburg.

By far the most interesting piece of in,
telligence received from Vicksburg yester.
day, says the Richmond Ecaminer, of the
10th inst, is the statement that Kirby
Smiths forces hold Miliken's Bend. This
is an important strategic point on the Mis-.
sissippi, thirty two miles, by the course of
the river, above Vicksburg, and of course
above the mouth of the Yazoo. If it is in.
deed true that the Confederates hold that
point with force, Grants campaign is vir-
tually finished. The reader must recolect
that the Federal army obtains all its sup.
plies from the river above Vicksburg. AL
though Grants attack was made from Grand
Gulf, that place was not long his base ;
and when he gained Haines' Bluff and the
Yazoo, all communication with it was aban.
doned. He relies on Memphis and the riv-
er above Vicksburg for food and reinforce
ments. Milikin's Bend in Confederate
hands cuts off both. The river is narrow,
and makes such turn as to form narrow
necked peninsula Of land there. With or
dinary artillery only, the passage of every
thing except the strongest iron clads can
be easily prevented. In fact the possession
of this point destroys Grants communica.
tions most effectually. He must either carry
vicksburg Immediately by a general as.
sault, or make good his retreat on Memphis
with all haste. This he cannot do without
an enormous loss of stragglers, prisoners
and material, even if uninterrupted by the
Confederate troops.
The effect of the alleged movement BY
Kirby Smith is easily seen; the only thing

CONFEDERATE NOTES.

The banks of Richmond have resolved,
in consideration that they are not fundable
from and after the LIST of August next, that
they will decline to receive on deposit, from
and after the 10th instant any Confederate
State notes which bear date prior to the LIST
December, 1862, and that they will not
pay out any such notes, nor use them set
ting balances from and after the 9th June,
now passed. This occurring at the seat of
Government, showing disposition to force
the funding of notes, however desirable it
should be to the holders, must have bad
effect, if the example is followed by the 9TH
er banks of the Confederaey. Congress has
made the proper provisions, and it should
have been deemed advisable to follow the
sinstruetionsof the Act. The money is con-
sidered bad enough, in all conscience, if We
are to judge from the high prices for its
exchange into either State bank bills, or
specie, but any action that even shadows
forth repudiation, should not be tolerated
by the government under its very nose
We trust that all Confederate notes will be
funded at once, as much for the interest of
those who hold them, as it will be to carry
out the plans of the Confederate Treasury.
Our money should be as good as our cause,

ter. eaess
The Banks of Lynchburg, and Bank Of
the City Of Petersburg have determined not
to initiate the example of the Richmond
Banks in refusing to receive and pay out
Confederate treasury notes bearing date
prior to lst December, 1862, they will make
no invidious discrimination, but will receive
and pay out all issues of the Confederacy
as heretofore.
In connection, we quote the following
from the Richmond Examiner: s'The
operation of the tax and funding laws will,
it is hoped, absorb an amount of currency
sufficiently great to bring the relative val
ues of gold and notes to what they were at
the time those Acts were passed by Con-
gress. The depreciation will thus be ar
rested, and the plan Of taxation in kind,
hereafter to be pursued, will finally redeem
the currency" .. .~.

ROLL, OF HONOR.

as "Psrsonne," the accomplished war cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier, it
seems is at present in Spartanburg. The
following card from him fully explains itself,
SO we feel assured that the friends and rela-
tives of those who have fallen in their coua-
try's cause, will assist the author to swell
the list, and thus enhance the interest of
the work itself, which should find, as it will
deserve, a place at almost every hearth, for
"who has not lost friend ?" The Legis.
lature entertained some idea of perpetua-
ting the memories of our dead soldiers, and
gentleman, we thought, was appointed to
arrange and colIate the work, but We have
heard nothing Of it of late; still, this of
Mr.. De Fontaine's promises series of

to furnish the material for. We commend

trict we will do all in our powert to assist

s. CAROLINA ssRoLL OF HONOR"
In response to numerous applications, the
subscriber announces the preparation of
aaSoutb Carolina's Roll of Honor-a vol
ume whose designis to perpetuate the name
of every soldierson of the State who has
fallen by disease or in battle during the war
In furtherance of this undertaking, the re.
quest is made of every family who have
been thus afflicted, to send promptly to the
address hereunder signed, brief biograph-
ical sketch of the deceased, embracing
name, age, place of birth, occupation, regi.
mens and company, and incidents of battle
or attending death, and especially such dy
ing declarations as may reflect the character
of the patriot and hero. The whole will
then be revised and arranged in alphabet.
cal form, and published as soon after the
war as possible. 1t is desirable that sep.
arate record should be devoted to the many
South Carolinians; who have fallen in the
service of other States. If the expense
and dimensions of the work be not too great,
it will embrace many engravings of the
dead, but at present the latter is not re.
quired.
With generous &C. operation on the part Of
the citizens of the State in this matter, S.
Carolina will not have occasion to erect
monumental column ''to the memory of the
unknown and unrecorded dead"
The press of the State will confer favor
by freely circulating the above request, and
urging attention to the subject.

OUR CASUALTIES.


ta aGen.sLee, underdate of Gulpeper, June
9Th, telegraphed to the Department at Rich
moad that the enemy had that morning
crossed the Rappahannock at various fords,
with large force of cavalry and artillery,
but after severe contest were driven across
the river by Gen. Stuart. The following
casualties are reported to the Columbia
Guardian, as having occurred in the 1st
S. G. Cavalry, by Col. J. L. Black:
Killed Capt r. A. P. G. Jones, Cor
poral j. C. Wilkes. Wounded: Capt j.
r. p Pox, Privates J. Williams, William
Wade, Stone Crawford, Fl. J. Jackson,
III. NJ. Browder, severely, and John Carey
slightly.
Private dispatches have also been recei-
we'd, in Columbia, announcing the death of
Lieut.. Col. Frank Hampton, of Richland,
from wounds received iu the same fight
He was a gallant officer, and one highly
esteemed throughout the State as a useful
and public spirited citizen.
Capt. R. Ap. Catesby Jones, was from
our own District, in which his company
was raised. He was noble.hearted gen.
tleman, generous toa fault, aud fully i'm
bued with the love of country, his devotion
to which he has sealed with his blood. He
was younger brother of Col. Cad. Jones,
late of the 18th Regiment, and with him
made home among US few years since.
His noble spirit and chivalrous character
soon won him general esteem, and our en-.
tire community mipgle their sympathy with
his bereayed family. .ses....

THE WEATHER, CROPS, &c.

Since our last, the weather mas been quite
showery, too much SO for cutting wheat,
that is now being ready. The crops of grain
never looked better, and from all quarters
ofthe Gonfederacy, ont of-occupation by
the invader, we have the same cheering in
telligsnce. Already, however, has the clo-
ven foot Of the speculafor and forestaller
began to show itself, and we hear of prof
fers to buy entire crops, at high prices
The -four in hand is held at high prices,
having been bought under expectations not
realized, and monopoly of the new crop
would materially assist in keeping up hores
Of remuneration. We would advise the
Farmer to keep his wheat, as it is fully as
good in his own barns, as the money which
the speculators are SO desirous to rid them
selves Of. The army will have its. part,
and the remainder can always be sold to
consumers, or kept for barter, or to pay in
debtedness, which last should not be lost
