Gen. Price in South Carolina. --The Western hero was everywhere enthusiastically received in his recent passage across Carolina. At Orangeburg he was welcomed by a large assemblage of ladies, who turned out rehearst on hearing of his approach. Among other things he said that he had been suddenly summoned to the West by General Bragg, who telegraphed to him that he expected a battle in five or six days.

ose who perform it as it is acceptable to the recipients. Hearing a sweet voice ask, "Are there any sick or wounded soldiers in this car?" I looked out, and found several ladies, (many of them quite young,) with servants, bearing the finest fruits and melons, which they were pressing upon all who wore the garb of a soldier, and asking, in the kindest manner, if there were no others who needed their assistance. A similar scene was witnessed at every station on the South Carolina road. At Orangeburg, where there is a female seminary, there was quite a galaxy of beauty, and, besides those who had fruits and melons, were others, who, without these, moved about from one car to another, without a parasol to shield them from the burning sun, asking every soldier if he did not wish to have his canteen filled with water, and eagerly seizing and filling each one that was offered. At many places those most conspicuous in these attentions wore the weeds of mourning, and we thought their sympat

Railroad accident. Augusta, Nov. 7. --A collision occurred on the Columbia branch of the South Carolina Railroad yesterday, near Orangeburg. Lieut. Maroney, of the Palmetto Guards, was killed. Col. P. Phillips and family arrived at Mobile on the 4th, from New Orleans. [Mrs. Phillips is the lady who was imprisoned by Butler, for laughing while the funeral of De Kay, a Federal officer, was passing her house. She suffered much before her release from Ship Island.]

l intelligence. It was said that Charleston had been evacuated by our troops. This report, we have reason to believe, is premature, though that the exigency of the situation in South Carolina may, at some future time, demand its evacuation, is among the possibilities. A report, believed to be authentic, reached here Saturday night that the enemy's infantry had succeeded in crossing the Edis to river above Branchville, and had struck the Columbia branch railroad eight miles south of Orangeburg — a point twenty miles above Branchville. If this be true, our troops have already abandoned Branchville and fallen back to Columbia, or, at least, behind the Santee river. The Santee will form a very strong and easily-defended line, having a swampy margin and its passage being very difficult.--Columbia is situated on the right bank of this river, about one hundred and twenty miles from its mouth. From Columbia, the Santee flows in a southeast direction, and empties into the Atlantic so

cavalry crossed the Edisto to the west of and above Branchville, and advanced on the Columbia Branch railroad. Our troops at Branchville withdrew towards Columbia. According to the last official accounts, received yesterday, the enemy were at Orangeburg, some twenty miles north of Branchville, and on the road to Columbia. During our retreat there has been continual skirmishing with the enemy, but no general engagement. It was said here yesterday that Beauregard intended to make an att and defend the line of that river. He is said to have an adequate force for either an offensive or defensive policy, whichever he may find it expedient to adopt. Columbia is on the right bank of the Santee, about fifty miles west of north of Orangeburg. Important to deserters and other Delinquents. We would call attention to General Orders Nos. 2 and 3, issued by General Lee from the Headquarters of the Armies of the Confederate States, and addressed to soldiers absent without leave

trate against Augusta and to break up the Charleston and Augusta railroad. From official dispatches, received at the War Department, we learn that on last Friday General Wheeler attacked Kilpatrick at Aiken, on the Charleston and Augusta railroad, twenty miles northeast of Augusta, and, after a considerable engagement, drove him five miles in the direction of Branchville. An official dispatch, received from Columbia yesterday, states that, in consequence of the enemy having occupied Orangeburg in force, our troops have abandoned Branchville. This is, in effect, the same statement as made by us yesterday. Our troops have, by this time, no doubt, fallen back to the Congress river, which, with the Wateree, forms the Santee. Columbia is situated immediately on the right bank of the Congress, thirty miles above its confluence with the Wateree. If our troops fall back behind the Congress, the enemy will be able to shell Columbia from the south bank of that stream. We also learn t

ing the number of troops at the post about five thousand. It is reported, and believed, in Kinston that the enemy have landed two locomotives and two transport loads of railroad iron at Morehead City. It is not apprehended in Kinston that the enemy design an early movement in that direction. From South Carolina--Sherman's movements. No official dispatches were received from any part of South Carolina yesterday. At last accounts, as we stated in yesterday's paper, the enemy held Orangeburg, on the Columbia Branch railroad, and our forces were falling back towards Columbia. There was a flying report yesterday, which we could trace to no reliable source, that there had been skirmishing on Tuesday evening within a few miles of Columbia. Our troops abandoned Branchville last Sunday night. Wheeler, on last Friday, attacked and whipped Kilpatrick at Aiken, fifteen miles northeast of Augusta, and drove him back five miles in the direction of Branchville. The Augusta papers

ednesday morning there was some mortar firing on the Petersburg lines near the Appomattox. This was somewhat of a novelty, as, for months past, mortar firing has been discontinued. With this exception, nothing of interest has occurred. Scouts from Grant's rear report all quiet within the enemy's lines. From the far South. No dispatches were received at the War Office on yesterday from South Carolina. We are consequently, uninformed of Sherman's latest movements. He was at Orangeburg, forty-eight miles south of Columbia, on last Tuesday, and our troops were falling back before him towards Columbia. Where he is now we do not know. It was said on Wednesday that a dispatch had been received, saying that skirmishing was going on within a few miles of Columbia. We stated this yesterday as an on dit, and, as yet, have not the means of either confirming or contradicting it. Sherman may be at Kingsville, the junction of the Wilmington and Columbia railroads, thirty mi

Sherman's March through South Carolina. Our Southern exchanges, which have gotten through the mail blockade, give us some intelligence of the scenes of barbarism which have attended Sherman's march. Dr. Glover, of Orangeburg, South Carolina, who was captured by Sherman's troops between Orangeburg Courthouse and Columbia, and held as a prisoner until the Yankee army passed Lancaster Courthouse, was with the enemy in their march through Columbia and Winnsboro', and gives the Charlotte (North Carolina) Democrat an interesting account of their conduct in those places and on the line of march: There was no regular battle at Columbia — only slight skirmishing on the part of our cavalry. The enemy commenced marching into the city on Friday, the 17th, and very soon after the city was in flames. The conflagration extended from the capitol, on both sides of Main street, to Cotton Town, consuming about eighty squares of buildings. The old capitol, the Catholic convent, the court-h
