THE yARARAcA.

There are bodily sensations stronger than
many mental emotions. Such are hunger
and thirst. The castaways in the tree-top
began to experience both in an extreme de.
gree. By good fortune. the means Of sat
isfying them were within reach. With a
monkey cup" emptied of its triangular
kernals they could draw up water at will.
and with its contents conquer the cravings
Of hunger. At his fathers request. and
stimulated by his own sensations, Ralph
began climbing higher, to procure some of
the huge fruit-capsules suspended-as is
the case with most South American forest
trees-from the extremities of the branches.
The boy was bold and skilful climber a.
mongst the crags and cliffs Of his ma tive
Cordilleras, Still tree did not come amiss
to him, and in twnkllng he had ascended
to the top branches of the Sapueaya, the
macaw making the ascent with him, perch,
ed upon his crown. All at Once the bird
began to scream, as if startled by some ter
rible apparition; and without losing an in
slant, it forsook its familiar place, and COM
menced futtering around the top of the tree,
still continuing its cries. What could be
the cause 2 The boy. looked above and a.
bout him, but could discover nothing. The
screams of the araruna were instantly an
swered by the little paroquet in tiny tre-
BILE. but equally in accents Of terror. while
both the coaita and ouistiti, chattering IN a.
arm. came bounding up the tree. The
paroquet had already Joined the macaw,
and as il in imitation ofits great congener,
flew huttering among the top branches, in

by the birds, that kept crcling around ore

FACTS ABOUT THE EVACUATION OF
CHARLEsToE.-We have had the pleas.
ure Of meeting Captain Valentine, Of the
artillery service of the Confederate
States, who was present at the ovacua.
ton of Charleston. He furnishes us
with some interesting facts relative to
the CLOSING drama," that will set aside
the lies that the Yankees have publish.
ed, and their sympathizers in our midst
the croakers, have retailed.
The evacuation was conducted in the
most quiet and orderly manner. AT
Fort Sumter we had only three 10 incl,
Columbiads, the other guns being small
carronadcs, designed to resist an infan.
try attack by boats. At Fort Moultric
only nine guns were mounted, and these
were all spiked, as was every piece Of
ordnance about the harbor. The two
Blakely g,ns-tle seven hundred
ponmders-were blown mp, and can nev.
er be refitted by the enemy.
The report that the citizens of Charles.
ton received the Yankees with delight,
is false and slanderous. 1t is especially
slanderous Of the noble ladies of that de-
voted city, who have ever been most
loyal to the cause, and who now spurn
and loathe the abominafle foe. There
may have been women of the town
who rejoiced at the advent of the Yam
kees--"a fellow feeling" etc. 81
1t is sad, however, to note the fact,
that the leading members of the fire de-
partment remained behind, and have
fraternized with the enemy. Among
these were a number Of rabad, original
secessionists-7J. Legare Yates, who
boasted of having fred the fsst gun in
the war; Courtenay, Bowman and
Others. Their names will not be fra

THE SITUATIoN.-What the situation
of the two opposing armies in this vicinity
is, we know not. There are many
rumors with which it is useless to
burden our columns. "
We hear Of no fighting since Sunday;
except some little skirmishing. Sherman
and Schofeld have probably formed d
junction: if not they can do so any time,
we presume. Gen. Johnston will do
all that skill and bravery can effect.
We must wait the issue Of events as

junction at Goldsboro' and will no doubt

presume the rumor may be true as to
the Atlantic road If it be So Gen.
Hampton will have something for his
active and daring spirit to do. In the

a sharp eye on the foe. We continue

PARTISAN WARFARE.

The assignment of Maj. JOHN JEN.
KINs to local partisan duties of defence,
at request of his native State, now
without a regular army, is an omen Of
good, and we hope will be followed by
the appointment of other bands of parti.
sans under equally competent leaders,
as Majors or Captains.
1t will be disgraceful il this State,
signalized as it was almost exclusively
by the partizan service Of the revolution,
and the exploits of MARION, SUMTER,
HAMMOND and Others, and marked by
features Of soil pee uliarly favorable to
ranging and partisan resources obedience,
should be left entirely at the mercy of
the foe, because no regular army of the
West Point line is in it. Even in reg.
nlar war, in large masses, our people
have proved themselves able and will.
ing to fight against odds Of invaders -
but in partisan warfare, well organized
and conducted under leaders of local
qualifications odds much greater may be
successfully resisted or annoyed or de-.
feated.
Let few of our best young active
officers of tried qualities, be assigned to
duty, and the young men now claiming
descent from the leaders of the revolu.
tion, and from the followers Of MARION,
will prove their lineage and renew or
enlarge on the soil of South Carolina
the PARTISAN records Of war of defence.
We have the men and the resources
and the occasions-let the encourage.
ment and authority be givea promptly.

FROM JOHNSroNS ARMY.

The telegraph has already announced
in general terms, the fight Which occurred
at or near Bentonsviile or Sunday and
its results. Without entering into details,
whiclia at his timeit maybe contraband
TO make public, we are permitted to
publish the following:
Bentonsville is small village, on q
little stream known as Mill Greek, in q
South.easterly direction from Raleigh,
and, say, twenty-five miles from Smith.
field. The locality is similar to that oftle
renowned Wilderness in Virgima-hat,
thick and swampy., Little artillery, con.
sequently, could be used on either side.
The enemy were moving towards Colds.
boro to effect a junction with Schoficld,
the 18th and nth corps being on one
road and the l4th and 20th on the other.
Learning this fact, General Johnston
threw portion of his army across the
front OF the latter division of the Yankee
command, and the desired attack was
brought on, His purpose was evidently
to whip the enemy in detail Our men
never fought better. The Federal lines
were charged repeatedly and with sue
cess, the Yankees giving away frequent.
ly in confusion, and, proving themselves
thoroughly unable, where tho numbers
were even approximately equal, to
withstand the. vigorous attacks Of our
columns.
During the latter portion of the
engagement, an attempt was made by
General Johnson to flank the Yankee
position, but, failing from some cause in
its execution, it was abandoned and the
fight ceased, leaving lis in possession Of
all we had gained. During the Light our
lines were rcclifcl, and we awaited the
anticipated attack on the following day.
The next morning the 18th corps was
brought up, but did not make an assault
until the afternoon. This was rcpulscd
with ease. Skirmishing continued all
day. On Tuesday, the lTth corps was
brought up, and very heavy skirmishing
resulted. The enemy felt our limo from
right 20 left until, it is said, finding an
opportunity, he made a bold push for the
town cf Bcntonsvillc, which was reached
by two divisions. At this imcture Gen.
cral lIardec, with Cummings Georgia
brigade and a brigade of Texas cavalry,
charged and drove them out in hand.
some manner, capturing number of
prisoners. That night our army withdrew,
since which time we are not advised of
any fighting except by our cavalry,
which, under Hampton, attacks tie
enemy on every proper occasion. ?;
There appears TO be no doubt that
Schofcld and Sherman have at last met
at or near Goldsboro, at which place the
Fcdcrals are supposed to be cntrcnchng.
General Johnson, however has the inside
track, is in position which gives him
the advantage Of the first move on the
! chess-board, and from which we may
! anticipate the happiest results. South
