. This seemed to be confirmed by the smoke, which receded to the northwest. The Confederate cavalry, too, were seen galloping in that direction, perhaps to cut up the flying columns of the Yankees. More than an hour passed on, and nothing of the strife is heard but the roar of ordnance and the rattle of musketry. Suddenly an order comes, borne, I believe, by Gen. McGowan, for the 2d and 8th Palmetto regiments to hasten to the assistance of the left wing. Couriers are despatched to Capt. Perryman, out scouting, and Capt. Rhett, on picket guard, to march across the fields to the left, and join their regiment, the 2d, which is on the march to aid the left wing. This regiment, to which was attached Kemper's battery, followed by the 8th, Col. Cash, hurried to the scene of action. It was met along the way by numbers of the wounded, dying, and retiring, who declared that the day had gone against us; that Sloan's regiment, the 4th, was cut to pieces; that Hampton's Legion, coming to t

Rhett, on picket guard, to march across the fields to the left, and join their regiment, the Second, which is on the march, to aid the left wing. This regiment, to which was attached Kemper's battery, followed by the Seventh, Col. Cash, hurried to the scene of action.

The regiment was transferred to Mississippi in the concentration of troops there under Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston, and marched in Shaver's brigade, under Cleburne as division commander, to meet the advance of Grant at Shiloh. It took part in that engagement, under command of Colonel Patterson, and lost heavily both days. Lieut. Thomas Bateman was killed, and Lieutenants Perryman, Cates, Harris and Richardson were wounded. Major Kelly commanded four companies, A, B, C and D, 122 men, of whom 62 were killed or wounded. Major Kelly seemed to have a charmed life. Upon reorganization, John H.

Upon the promotion of Colonel Kelly to brigadier-general, Baucum became colonel, and Anderson Watkins, lieuten

Affairs at the South. the flags — the Bill for Arming SouthCarolina — feeling in Alabama, &c. Charleston is gay with State-Rights flags floating from public and private buildings.-- at the theatre the Palmetto has been substituted for the national flag, and, in some cases, a flag with two stars, representing Georgia and South Carolina, has been hoisted. A dispatch from Judge Perryman, of Alabama, to the Governor of that State, places "two sons and $10,000 worth of railroad stock" at his service. At the public meeting in Savannah, Ga., Friday night, the resolutions (already published) declaring that Lincoln's election should not be submitted to, were adopted, the people rising and cheering, and the following was also carried without a dissenting voice: resolved. that our thanks are due, and are hereby tendered, to those noble men of the North who attempted, at the ballot-box, to roll back the Black tide of fanaticism.

porary exile. It behooves us to give this subject serious and profound consideration. If the enemy is forced to abandon the effort he is making to gain possession of our city, we can return to our homes in a short time. If he is successful — which God forbid!--we will have avoided privations and woes of which we can now form no adequate conception. Let us take counsel of prudence. The citizens of Charleston are furnishing cooked rations to the troops on Morris's Island. The foreigners in that city who refuse to fight are not sent North to their Yankee friends. Here is the way they are served: We learn that not more than six or seven of all the employees at the Arsenal refused to join any company, and Major Tresevant, commandant of the Arsenal, quickly sent these, with their "foreign protection papers," to Major Perryman, our new enrolling officer, who as quickly forwarded them to Morris's Island, where "ditching" is going on, and "foreign papers" are not respected.
