en discountenanced by officers, and properly so; for picket duty is dangerous enough in it self, and does not call for or need (save by orders) any of these dashing feats commendable and common on the battle field. But not only in the infantry arm of the service have our men proved themselves superior to the foe — the artillery have amused themselves greatly, and practiced with much accuracy and effect upon the numerous breast, field, and born works thrown up on the Federal front. Since Capt. Dabney's efforts on Friday last, with heavy pieces, which caused a indecorous stampede from Federate artillery and infantry camps it was surmised that their obnoxious presence would no longer disgrace the lovely face of the landscape on the north bank of the Chickahominy yet, numerous and impudent as ever, they again appeared in working parties on Saturday and Monday, presenting fair scope and practice for some artillerists, who, moving deliberately to the front, near Garnett's farm, shelled the

he enemy is worthy of comment and punishment. If the topography of the place is not known to officers encamped within gunshot, for weeks together, and useless mortality ensue from want of this requisite information, how can it be expected that these came officers will successfully handle or manœuvre forces — If only companies — on these same grounds, should exigencies require it at any moment of night or day ? It is time such negligence should cease. Our loss was more than necessary at Yorktown Lines, from this same cause.--Lives are too precious to be uselessly sacrificed in this manner, and any mal-administration of officers should be severely punished. Indications of activity and liveliness prevail in all our camps — bustle, good humor, and buoyancy it seen in every action, and marked on every feature — orderlies dash to and fro: solemn and dusty Colonels, and others, are all found at their posts, and while all is industry beyond the city, what a reproach is this to the tin

arrival of U. S. artillery, no relief came, and they laudably imitated the race of their friends on Friday last. The artillery of the enemy, though admirably worked and served when not face to face with ours is handled with uncommon willness and imprecision when any of our batteries appear to dispute the ground. Hence little damage is usually done, and the cost or results is merely a useless expenditure of powder. Brisk artillery fire was maintained by the foe upon our outposts on the Mechanicville road yesterday, but, although the range of some half dozen shells was determined with great mathematical nicety, a few fell harmlessly, unexploded, while the fragment of another slightly wounded a negro employed upon some one of our works. Two shells damaged one of our breast works slightly, but more than this no damage was done in this quarter. Dense columns of smoke were ascending over the enemy's position yesterday — various reasons when assigned for this unusual spectacle, but

emnation of this pernicious practice. It has a bad influence upon the army, for it these rascals can elude the service, and desert when they please without being punished, why cannot other do the same? Another case has come to our knowledge. A few days ago a man by the name of Levasseur went to the 3d Alabama regiment and bargained to furnish a substitute for a man then in service. The price fixed upon was $00 the dealer in substitutes receiving $300 for his services. The man's name was Byrnes who came with a certificate from the British Consul and recommendations from others; but as soon as the bargain was concluded, the substitute absconded, returning, probably, to the person who originally brought him to be sold over to other parties. With in the last three weeks seven men from this one regiment alone have been purchased, all of whom have since deserted. Such conduct is no more or less than stealing, and it is time due check should be put upon such operations by the police.

Up to Wednesday evening 251 bodies had been interred by our men and their ambulances were allowed to remove their wounded. The probability is that their loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, will reach one thousand.

oners state that there are nine Federal regiments on the island, and that Gen. Isaac I. Stevens, of Oregon, (the Chairman of the Breckinridge National Committee in the last Presidential campaign.) is in command. This man Stevens processed to be an ardent pro slavery man before the war, and was here in Charleston, enjoying its hospitalities, only two years ago. There is much dissatisfaction here with the military authorities of the department, and a strong wish expressed for a change in the commanding officer. The South Carolina troops are anxious to defend Charleston, and will do so successfully if they are permitted to. A report that we were to have the great services of Beauregard spread universal joy among the troops. If however, we cannot have Beauregard, we would be glad to get Huger, Magruder, Hill of N. C., Whiting, Gregg, Joseph R. Anderson, or any other first class General. change of some kind is necessary to restore confidence to the troops and people. Palmetto.
