Wednesday was strictly observed,
the usual quiet of the Sabbath prevail
ed, and services were performed by the
Rev. B. A. Lester, at Headquarters,
to a large and attentive audience. We
have many good singers in our Battal-
ion, so nightly the harp is tuned to
songs of praise, strangely in contrast
with the large number in the stockade,
where ribald jesting and the vulgar
song alone prevail. A Catholic Priest
occasionally visits the prisoners, but

post, but a week does not often pass
that we do not have two, or three SER

The rail and Schedule at Florence,
does not seem to suit any parties traF-

wing this place, do 50 at foa P. m. for
Kingsville, which point they reach a
bout daylight. They may wait until
8 o'clock for the regular up-train to
take them to the Charlotte Junction, or
take the freight train, with a passenger
or box car attached and reach Colum-
bia at 12 m. where they can remain till
sundown, submitting to the most exor-
bitant charges for carrying boxes from
one point to another. We, the Re.
serves, have NO right to complain Of any
imposition, or inconvenience, but the
