Though the weather has been clear the
past week, it has been tolerably cold, at
times, even tauuting US with "Adam's
penalty-:he seasons change" Fires were
comfortable, morning, noon aud night
No harm done.
This day will be quite stirring one in
town, as re-examination of Conscripts will
be commenced by the Medical Board of the
9Th Congressional District, to be continued
until the Oath. We trust the attendance
will be prompt, and no unpleasant measures
have to be resorted to.
- Though the State has suffered much,
our District friends have met with no casu.
alties-the 18th having been detached to
guard prisoners at the battle, while our
other companies were either at Suffolk, or
Blackwater.
We have daily reports that another at
tack on Charleston is meditated in short
time. The papers from the city do not
disabuse our minds, but We feel satisfied
that the Commandant of the Post will be
fully prepared for any emergency. We have
no sympathy with the 'scroakers" here
abouts.
- The ominous silence of the press
throughout the Confederacy, shadows forth
the deep sense of outrage that has been COM
. mitted on its feelings By one who enjoyed
all the pomp. and power, and pride Of place.
But so it is, that oman can smile, and
smile, and be-a william"
A darkey who was at the battle of the
Rappahannock, says that the Yankees cross

At Indianapolis, Hauuigau, the Audi
tor Of State and Hanna, member Of the leg
is!a.ure, were smiling ct each other in a bar
room, and one said, "Here's to jeff Davis" "
and the other said "Amen." They were
both arrested.
! Vallaudigham's friends have held a
sympathizing meeting in New York, at
which James Brooks denounced the arrest
as an act of tyranny uuequalled in the bis,
tory of the world. He said that New York
and New Jersey are now the only free
States left.

As it is, Farragut, who commands the
Yankee feet, gets his supplies of coal and
provisions regularly by barges that slip down
at night by Vicksburg, and thus by COM
manding the mouth of Red River, inter
cepts supplies OF food for our army from q
large portion of Mississippi, which, unless
prevented, may make great mischief. There
is said to be no danger on Gen. Pemberton's
front, while the federal forces are spread
over considerable portion Of the interior,
adjacent to Grand Gulf, and have endeau'
orea to get up between jackson and Vicks-
burg, so as to sever the railroad connection
by which they are united, and thus isolate
Vicksburg, so as to starve it into surren-
der. ....
The Yankees will endeavor to take time
by the forelook-they know that summer is
approaching, when its debilitating effects
on their troops will be extreme-when the
rivers and creeks will be dried up, or so
shallow, as to be useless to them, and yet
make disease more terrible. They know
and dread the New Orleans summer, with
its yellow fever visitation, to which the large
numbers of northerners or foreigners offer
too tempting feast to be forbornc-they
know all this, and so did we, and if We have
allowed them to gain advantage, the fault,
or crime we must call it, should be strictly
atoued for. We know that public conf
dence is wanting in Gen. Pemberton, with
what justice we are not prepared to say,
but the Government must have had great
faith in his patriotism and ability, to place
SO important "a pass, in his keeping, which
with the wealth of Yankeedom would be
deemed BY them cheap purchase.

LATEST NEWS,

Our previous fears have been realized
This place was attacked at an early hour
on Thursday, continuing all day, the Van.
KEGS commanded by Grant, and our troops
by johnson, when We were compelled to
-eVacuate the city, and retreat towards Can
ton, some 20 miles. Our troops afterwards
reeaptured, or occupied the place. John
son had arrived but the day before, and
had no time to carry out plans previously
sent to Pemberton, but not acted on; the
latter, however, had so far anticipated the
evacuation, as to have the most important
supplies, and the archives and other articles
of value! removed. Vicksburg, though tenn.
porarily cut of, has four months provisions
on hand. The latest telegram We have is

damages inflicted by the Yankees. The
Catholic Church was destroyed, the Aissis-
sippian Office gutted, presses broken and
type thrown into the street; the furniture
in the Capitol was badly abused, and in the
Governors mansion demolished; ladies were
robbed of jewelry and money; all the stores
were sacked and contents destroyed; iron
safes were broken open; the railroad. badly
torn up for several miles, and the telegraph
wires torn down. About three thousand
negroes from Kinds county Joined the Yam.

five to seven million dollars. There is much
destitution and suffering in consequence
The enemy evacuated Friday and Saturday,
retreatiDg hastily, having had no serious
engagement, and the last Of their rear guard
left about two O'Clock. Our cavalry pick
cts dashed in, killed "a Federal colonel and
captured two others. The Yankees captured
and paroled 200 S. Garolinians and Geor.
gians. They left 200 Of their wounded at
jackson, and 900 at Raymond. Grant oc-
cupied Jackson in full force. His entire
army, however, does not amount to more
than $4,000 men,. Gen. Loring, on Fri
day, cut off and captured the Yankee sup

FROM THE WAR.

The past week has afforded US little more
than the enumeration of the casualties at
the battles of "the Wilderness" as it is pro-
posed to call our late successes near Chan
cellorsville, and on the Rappahaunock.-
From the Richmond Enquirer we publish
detailed account, as part of the history of
the times. as...a
A despatch has been published, that the
American Minister had given notice to the
English Government, that in case certain
vessels of war then being built at British
ship.yards should be allowed to leave,
though profsssedly for the "Emperor of Chi
na," ostensibly for the Confederacy, the
same would be considered by the United
States as declaration of war; aud further,
that the English, in view OF difficulties, had
sent nine vessels of var and fifteen regi-
ments of infantry to Canada. The bully
ing disposition of the Yankees may give
some eoloripgto such statement, but their
recent inglorious back down in the Trent
affair gives promise Of another as equal
ready, though the same officer (Wilkes) be
compromised. 1t is true, the English Gov
eminent exhibits some dissatisfaction with
that of Lincoln, from its recent acts, such
as giving a permit to English vessels to
carry arms to Mexico to be used against its
ally France, but Mr.. Seward has lately
stated, which authority by the way, Is
very questionable, that the governments
we're never more harmonious. The public
feeling, we believe, is with Us in sympathy
and interest, but we have nothing to ex-
pect from it, save what may come from dit.

TO OUR PATRONS,

- To OUR PAThONS.
1t becomes our duty, however long we
have struggled against the necessity that
has now come on us, to make such new
terms as will secure the continuance of our
publication. The high price Of paper, and
the difficulty of procuring it at all, has been
felt throughout the country, and now it be-
comes necessary for us to follow suit with
the other papers Of the State. The price
Of subscription to the ENQUIRER will here:
after be Three Dollars per aunum, in ad-
vance, and Of advertising 81 per square, of
ten lines, for each insertion, and nothing
counted less than square. Clubs of FIVE
orten will be received at So. The size Of
our paper is as large as any in the State,
and our columns are not numbered with
useless advertisements-the matter is stu
diously chosen With reference to the times;
and We have spared no labor to make the
paper what the Districtrequires. We have
held on as long as justice to ourselves would
allow it, TO our old terms-noa1 we rest our
claims on the friends Of the paper for con-
tinued support, assuring them that none are
80 anxious, as We will be found, to return
to old prices, and old dimensions.
These terms go into effect for the future;
the fact may not be, known, but it is so,
that the imprinted sheets costs us almost the
price charged for the paper, and the arti-
: Gle is not falling in price under such cir.
cnmstanccs, an increased subscription might
not be sought. but We are willing to labor
for the public who have encouraged US
heretofore, aud as our advance is but small,
Z we still can urge our claims on public favor.
Stspension would be our only alternative.

From fredericksburg.

We on yesterday (says the Richmond
Examiner l2th,) converSed with an officer
who, on Sunday, visited the north side Of
the Rappahannock under flag Of truce
Hooker had written letter to Gen. Lee
asking permission to send surgeons to at
tend the Yankee wounded, offering to send
rations for their support, and also offering
to send medicines that our wounded might
require. Our informant. was the bearer of
the reply to this letter, in which General
Lee gave permission for the Yankee sur
geons to come over, but declined the ten.
der of medicines and rations, saying that
he had abundance Of, both. General Lee.i
said to have been much grati6ed by the
general tone of Hooker's letter.
The Yankee surgeons, with whom our
informant conversed, acknowledged that
Hooker had suffered most terrible defeat,
and describe his retreat across the Kappa
hammock as little short of aroute. They al
so stated that when Hooker was making
bis advance, a regiment, whose time of en-.
listment was within one day Of expiring,
refused to cross the river, and when. an at
tempt was made to force them, they fred
into their officers, killing all but one.

The ENEMY ON OUR CoAsr.-While
the Northern journals console their readers
for the late disappointment by telling them
that another expedition is preparing for the
capture of Charleston, there are undoubtad
signs of activity or, the sea isIandsin pos
session of the enemy. Within the last two
days and nights, very large and formida.
Bile battery has been erected by the enemy
on Folly Island to bear upon the Southern
portion ofMorris' Island; and, in full view
Of Fort Sumter, the Yankee sentinel is seen
steadily pacing to and fro on hispost An
entrenched camp has been made lower
down on Folly Island, and unmistakeable
preparations are evidently progressing. The
abandonment Of Coles Island, spring be-.
fore last, and the difficulties of access on our
part, enable the foe to proceed. at Sea-
brooks Island, North Edisto, there are also
indications Of earnest efforts to make safe
basis. A force Of several regiments has
been and is now at work, while Eve IRON
clad gun. boats and number of transports
lie in the stream. Some seventy transports
are still waiting in Broad River, and the
outposts of the enemy in General Walkers
district have recently been doubled in
strength.
In view of these appearances, 1t becomes
US to prepare vigorously to resist another
demonstration before the heated term puts
an end to active operations. The 18th
June, 1862, saw the bold and desperate
assault upon Secessionville. We have not
yet reached the middle of May. Under all
the circumstances, to assume that the ene-
my will not attack again before fall, would
be the most reckless fatuity. Charleston
