From the "carolina Rifles"
Dear Enquirer-We send you for
publication, at last, the roll Of the
Carolina Rifles" This company has
been in active service for the past
four months, and although the music
from Yankee bands and kettle drums
is distinctly heard from the enemy's
camps on Edisto Island, yet we have
never, up to this time, had the pleas
ure Of an encounter with them. The
Federals seem to be particularly eau
tious in their movements upon our
coast; how long we are to remain in
active we cannot tell, I'VE know not
wat a day or an hour may bring
forth"
We are encamped on Johns Island,
at this writing, having recently re-
turned from Wadmalaw, an island
separated from this body by Bohiket
creek, which at low tide we would
consider rather a small affair, to give
name to an island. Johns Island Is
separated from the mainland by Stono
river Gan arm Of the sea, Of consider
able size), sufficient to float a gun
boat, at least. We have faith in our
defences at either outlet, however, and
sleep soundly after our daily routine
Of drills, etc.
Our regiment and company have
had to encounter the ever to be dread
ed enemy, disease, and in the names
below, to which Is attached star, the
reader will see four noble volunteers
of this company who have offered their
lives upon the altar Of the country.
Let not their names be forgotten, but
let them live in the memories Of those
who love liberty.
