the Swamp Fox himself succeeded ia crossing

line of battle with the enemy Just in his front.
Soon his line of battle was formed, and, though
the disparity Of force between himself and the
enemy was very great still he handled his
troops with his accustomed familiarity and
eoolneas, Charge after charge Of the enemy
was here ,repulsed, and their loss Is reported by
citizens who conversed with them as heavy

Hastily firing the rolling stock, they passed
hurriedly on, and as Gen. Y oung then moved

Camden, Sumter and Orangsburg. We repeat
our conviction, that to two. at least, of these
points. line Of stages and wagons would be
highly profitable, and perhaps to all. for the
facilities for travel makes travellers. andopper-

Forsign Opinion.
We note that in al the late European papers
we have sesn, including the thunderer, the
Times, the language Of the press has become
more than ever civil in speaking of the United
States. We as not say soneiliatory, but civil;
not cordial. but particularly polite. So far as
appears on the surface, never were Govern
nents more disposed to recognize the right Of
Brother Jonathao to their profoundest respect

rejected the Constitutional Amendment. Had
she ratified that Amendment unqualiiedly, and
then asked the Union to compensate her loyal
Shareholders for their losses thereby, we should

1t would seem that sho already sees ample
reason to regret her factious folly. Her ne

worse than worthless. They have no induce
mcnt to labor, and there is no power to make
them work for nothing. Il one of them iancies

Union for her slaves and emancipatc them.
Her conservative" rulers contemptuously re-

abolished but forever prohibited throughout the
