army of the Potomac entered Gettysburg, the
cavalry of the rebels falling back and passing
out of the west end of the town, The rebels
under Longstrect and Hill, advanced steadily,
and, in few minutes, heavy fire of artillery
and muskctry opened along the whole Federal
line against the advancing rebels. Several un-
successful charges were made by the rebels on
our lines AT 3 o'clock the enemy massed his
entire forces, and endcavored to turn our right
wing. A heavy fight ensued, both sides suff-
ering severely The field between the con-
tending armies was strcwn with the dead and
wounded. 1t is said the enemy suffered q'iite as
heavily as VIC did. The effort to flank our
right wing entirely failed. The advantage on
the field is said to have remained decidedly
with the Northern forces; but officers who ar
rived last ight with prisoners, describe the re-
suit of the fight as rather unfavorable to our
arms. The enemy held the field at the close of
the day. our forces AaOing fallen back, after the
fall ofGeneral Reynolds. On Thursday there
was heavy skirmisling, but no general engage
ment. The enemy is rapidly concentrating lis
troops. Yesterday Mcadcs whole army had
reached the field. In the battle General Wads-
worth was severely wounded. The Union losses
were enormously heavy, especially among field
and line officers
The Yankees on the flag of truce boat last
night state that General Meade was severely
wounded in the battle of Gettysburg, and that
four Federal Generals were killed. They say
it was a drawn battle.

Tho s9d Regiment S. q. nj.

On Tuesday last, COL JONES assembled the
22d Regiment at the usual parade ground, for
the purpose OF securing the quota of los men,
for home service, between the ages of forty.
and fifty years. The Colonel made a short
but pathetic appeal to their patriotism, urging
those who were subject to the call to come
forward and volunteer. that the fair name our
District has ever bore for her response to eve
ry call made on her for men and means. might
be preserved untarnished
Ninety-seven was the number required, as
we had to our credit eighteen volunteers who
are already in service. Of this number fifty
one responded to the appeal and forty-six were
drafted
we lind the names of several ofsour best
citizens, on the list of drafted men, who we
know to be fully exempted. 1t will, of course,
be to Their interest to present their claims at
once to such exemption, that the officers in
charge may know on whom to force compli-
ance.
After the draft, an election took place for
officers to command the company for home
defence, which resulted in the election of the
following gentlemen, all of whom arc thor
oughly competent officers:

The sword OF Cheves McCord.

From letter received by the mother of that
noble martyr, CHEvEs McCoRD, and written
by her nephew, Mr.. A. c. Haskell, it would
appear that the Hon. RoBr, w. BARNwELL
had entrusted the sword to the care of a gen
tleman (whose name he could not reco)lect
during his illness) who said she was going to
Camden, and would be in Columbia that he
knew CuEvEs: spoke in the highest terms of
affection and admiration for him, and said that
it would afford him much pleasure to carry it
home" Mrs. McCoRD has never received the
sword; and any information as to the name or
whereabouts Of the person having it, will be
gratefully received, as it was a relic of her de-
ceased son, and one greatly priced. Persons
in possession of such information will please
address Major j. M. DESAUssURE, at Camden,
or Mrs. McCoRD, at Columbia.

Our community rarely enjoys the opportu-

full as that afforded on last Monday evening
A large and appreciative audience greeted Mr.
and the Misses Sloman on that occasion, and
testified their delight in a manner marked and
.unmistakable. Charmed by the exquisite per-
formancc of selections from favorite operas; at
once nerved and excited by the spirit stirring
"Tubal CAIN" and moved to irresistible laugh
ter BY the combination of the comic in acting
and singing the "Sevcn Ages" "London News
papers," and other similar songs. We venture
to affirm that there was not one present who
was not pleased to hear that we are again to
be favored with a similar entertainment by
these highly accomplished artists with entire
change Of programmed on this Friday evening.
Both from the rarity of occasions Of this
kind, and from the excellence of the perform
ance of these celebrated Charleston favo,itcs,
we predict another full attendance.

The Fourth of July.

AS was to be expected during time of war
such as we are now passing through, this time
honored day passed with Sabbath-like quiet
ness. Places of business were generally closed,
the streets were deserted, and the town seem.
ed to have departed to the country, and to
have retired into the quiet scclusion of the So
clal circle, to spend, for once, in calmness, the
usually noisy and boistcrons Fourth.
This, under the circumstances, we consider
eminently proper and right In fact it is the
only thing that we can consistently do. The
patriots, the battles, and the sufferings of the
old Revolution must give place Exclusively for
the time being) to the more prominent and
present ones of he,new. But still, the Fourth
OF July is oar day, and it's every recurrence is
the anniversary of our independence. And
although from natural feeling of aversion to
having anything in common with the despica-
Bile Yankee, there is a tendency to slight this
day because they associate it with their rascal
ly cant about "The Flag" "The Bird of Lib
erty,' "l1ail Columbia" &c, yet VIC would ut.
ter our protest against ever giving up what
properly and peculiarly belongs to us as peo-
pie. Southern man drew up the Decara-
tlon of lndependence-a Southern General
achieved tits crowning act was on Southern
soil. If the degenerate and sIavsh Yankee
nation wiU celebrate it and claim it ex.
clnsiveIy as their own, why, let them do so.-
They have religion, too, and modestly claim to
be the lights and the saints of the world. But
our churches need not be closed because Yam.
kee Pharisees pretend to a monopoly of pety
as between them and u.s.
1t is enough Gf anything could do it) to
make us forswear the celebration of this day.
when we reflect that the slaves of Abraham
Lincoln--the men who make ovations to But
ler-who gloat with pride on the deeds of Mil
roy and Montgomery, should desecrate with
their cantth names Of Liberty and Washing
ton. But liberty is good thing, even if there
a great many crimes committed in her
name--and so Washington and the recollection
of our first Revolution are dear to our hearts.

Nor STARVED YET.-An Abolition paper
of New York has learned that the Confeder-
ates are not likely to be starved at present.
1t says:
We are not putting down the rebellion very
fast in the vicinity of Washington. We may
console ourselves that this is desperate move
to redeem a cause nearly lost; but cause is
not so desperate that can make such demon
strations of strength. 1t is as well to dismiss
all idea of desperation, starvation, &c. Such
calculations have been disappointed SO far, and
we place no reliance on them.
The authorities at Richmond refuse to re-
cognize paroles granted by raiders.
