Our men are called on to perform guard duty every orther day and night, as there are a large number of prisoners at this point, and many more daily coming in from Charleston, distant but 60 miles by rail-road, and Anderson ville, The. prisoners are placed in an enclosure arranged in regimental order; tliis is made of split timbers 5 or. 6 inches in thickness, well embeded in the earth; around this palisading, enclosing some twenty acres, is fixed the platform or walk for the sentinels, with occasional projections, from which they can look over into the camps and keep a sharp watch on the movements of the prisoners, in order that the latter may have : no excuse for approaching the palisading, a ditch is run around the cainp, oVi/mi* TA foot fi-nm it colli t A Ko lit A auv/uw At/ 1VVW UUUi UUAV* VV vv . that of the Yankees" at Hilton Head. The man who attempts to cross it, after being once ^warned, is shot if the sentry's eye falls on him, or without warning at night. Night and day a heavy guard is posted around, and lines of sentries,- with artillery and cavalry at convenient and important points, so escape seems impossible. The prisoners are divided into detachments of 100 each, under sergeants^ef - their own appointment. The roll is called each morning at 9 o'clock; at the beating of the drum each detachment falls into line ip front of its row of tents or. earthworks, dresses up on the sergeant, in files of fours, when the Major has them counted off by the several Lieutenants called on to assist him, who deem it fyy no means an agreeable employment, among so much filth and vermin, though the place is daily policed, and a deep branch runs through the entire camp?they cook their own rations, which of course they complain of, however plentiful they may be. They are not allowed to communicate with any but officers, whom they often importune for little favors, mostly to take the oath or be paroled, or for tobacco. The foreigners make many protestations of their disinterestedness, while the Yankees, most of whom were the denizens of the brothels and purlieus of Northern cities, pretend to believe our cause a losing one, though they curse the obstinacy of Butler in not effecting their exchange. Poor Devils! they do not see that one Confederate is worth half a dozen of them, and hence their sufferings. While writing, a goodly number of foreigners are taking the oath, which they swallow with avidity f - ' ? ?how it will observed, may depend ' oil - their ability to get home Again, while some will spap at the first baft thrown to them by substitute brokers. The prisoners pay little regard to their personal cleanliness t as a natural consequence much mortality prevails, ten deaths being about the minimum of those daily occuring. A hospital for the sick is outside of the stockade, where they receive every attention, find they are remanded when Qonvalesqapt, . but few having died in it. They are mostly scantily olothed, and unless provided by their government will suffer greatly, when the cold weather .sets in. Previous to leaving Hamburg, elections were held in the York &rids Chester Companies. The two companies from York voted t.ggetjher, and polled hut 32 votes, the old men having been mostly forloughed home to gather their sugar cane and sow wheat a; day or two ' previous. Of these Col." .Jones received the whole number, for the Senate. For Representatives, Capt. Lowry, received 81, Col. Beatty, 26, Col. White, 20, J. C. Chambers, 17, J. S. kratton, 10, Col.

Our men have exercised much ingenuity in constructing tents and tuts, which has infringed greatly on their supply of bed clothes, which will inconvenience them greatly when winter sets in. If Gen. Chesnut would furnish the doth flys could easily be made; or plank could be, as a saw-miller near by offers to furnish it, if a requisition is made. We this morning report two.sick. The town of Florence is a pretty little place, of no business pretensions whatever, as it has not a singft store, Qt rum hole. There are no loafers about town, and but very few males, though it is the junction of the North Eastern and Wilmington and Manchester roads. Capt. H. W. Connor, of Charleston, is the Post Commissary, and his clerk, a young wounded soldier, they are both clever gentlemen, and think "the powers that be," are in error as to the quantity and quality of rations to which citizen soldiers are entitled. In coming from Kings ville to this place, we passed through several towns, but as the whole distance, seventy miles, was travelled by night in box cars, nothing can be said" of them until some lucky chance gives us a day trip towards home. The water here is scarce, and not good; our men have commenced digging wells, but they have no spades, shovels or picks, so for the present they have stopped, at some six feet depth, without water. The Yankees are more expert ?they have dug tunnels and wells after the fashion of moles, with their noses or claws, probably," while they are ably seconded by the bog-trotters and troutstands, who act as their beasts of burthen?a harder looking set of villians, take them as a mass?I hope you may o CAA ^ never see. Dome uuu ut mem iue itbout to take the oath, -which they should not be allowed to do. I have received, through the kindness of Col. Melton, at Richmond, the New York Herald, of the 19th ultimo, which has proved a valuable acquisition in the newspaper desert, and helped to while away the few hours of relaxation we can gain from the interminable bustle and (ftty of camp. The contents are fully in character, and prominent is a long account of a "grand Anniversary Banquet at Delmonico's," by the resident Mexicans, who seem to have forgotten the whipping they received from the boasted United States, and, while they jabber lustily for their . own independence of French rule, sit cheek by jowl with the Yankees in depriving the South of theirs. But, though it is said none but Mexicans were present, the ear marks of Yankee correspondents are plainly , seen, and doubtless the drunken dons awoke the next morning to find out thab-they had made quite a figure the previous night. The "Diario" will doubtless translate with wonder to their columns, the rapid progress their runaway generals have made in Yankee American slavery. But, perhaps, the South done all the fighting of the Mex ic$n "War, and we have not been forgotten. However, the Mexicans and Yankees are mongrels well matched?the old Castilian blood has degenerated in the first, while the "nigger" is far the purest of the last. The Mexicans assume that Napoleon has taken advantage of the civil war in the United States, who had heretofore protected them?and they are kept in this belief by the Yankee press, for their own low, selfish purposes. Th? Herald is for McClellan, so far. I have spun this epistle out longer than intended?not knowing how the mails go and come as yet. I may not have taken time by ihe forelock, as intended, but will strive, when I learn further of postal arrangements, to reach ' you on Sunday or Monday eveningAligns, E. FROM BUXiLIVASTS ISULFD. < f October 6,1864. Mr. Editor:?During last Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the firing on the j , city was" kept up" reguhudy," and -was"' yery heavy; during this tunie lmfc few ? shots were fired at Sumter. There was . an occasional shot from Black Island, The firing on the city and Sumter ce&s- ' ed on Saturday night about 12 o'clock, j During jjfonday and Sunday night there , was scarcely a gun fired in any diiec- ] tion, there was two shots in the evening. ' On Monday, there was again an ex- L change of prisoners in the harbor, at , the usual place, oppositeFort Moultrie. The ceremony of Exchange occupied a < - - ? i great part of the-day. An election for Senator and Repre- 1 sentatives of Charleston District, was held here to-day, for the benefit of the' ( soldiers. The tickets were varied and. i the votes were .cast accordingly. Du- I ring the morning w.e were visited with 1 showers of rain. October so far has; } been as warm as at any time this sum. mer. On yesterday,, an election yf&s held 1 for tho benefit of the soldiers from the upper Districts. The citizens' from ] York appreciating the privilege, cast their votes for the respective candidates, i the result of which the returns will show. To-day the shelling of the city has * somewhat increased." On Monday and: ? Tuesday morning, early, two Monitors I ( leaving the fleet, ipoved inwarcj, hut afew well directed shots from our batteries, each morning, oauaed them to re- 1 tire quickly to a safe distance. Thp strength of the fleet remains "about the y same, there is some movement of the vessels every day, some arriving, others ^ leaving. . * It is stated that General Hardee has bpen assigned to this Military District. He was* expected to arrive in the city this morning. In a few days we expect 1 to have the pleasure of seeing the dis- j tinguished warrior, as an inspection oT ( the fortifications, &p., around the har- bor is expected to take place by him in ^ a few days. His past career as a Gen- 0 eral and warrior, will ensure to him the . 7 ? . c highest esteem and regard, by all, both j soldiers and non-oombatants, and will a be most heartily welcomed to his new " theatre of action. With such a leader, J and the united energies of the citizens 0 and soldiery of the Palmetto State, in b the discharge of the duty they owe their 5 bleeding country, we feel well assured, J by the blessing of Providence upon our united efforts, that our long besieged & Metropolis will, with the various islands <3 and fortifications contiguous thereto, 4 ' surmount the furious storm of the enemy, and stand triumphant as a monument of southern chivalry and heroism J t the enemy, worp. down by an incessant n and expensive siege, will, eventually, be o compelled to abandon the contest, sat- 4 isfied that a people who are contending J honorably and'justly for their fights and liberties, cannot be subdued.

Quite a large number of negroes oame , out with tho Atlanta exiles...

A chaplain writes from Hood's army to one of onr exchanges: "A few days ago we were filiDg into a battle line by a regiment that had already formed. We saw the Colonel, with his regiment gathered around him, holding prayer, and that, too, almost I in the midst of battle, for the firing had be* ^ gun on the right and left." ? We have reliable intelligence, says the , Mississippian, that a drove of 3,000 beef oattle from Texas were driven safely across the Mississippi river, at a point not neces sary to mention, several' days since, and are g now on their way to Hood's army. x ? The Louisville Press says Charles A. 1 Wickliff, of Kentucky, stated in Baltimere 8 that McClellan assured him two days in ad- * vanoe of his letter of acceptance,.that if fie ( (McClellan) were eleoted not a gun should [ be fired at the rebels after the 4ih of Match. ?
