Correspondence of the .Southern Enterprise. (’amp Jasper, Pee. 10, 1801. Nothing has transpired of interest in this neighborhood since my last. The enemy are once more in occupation of Tybee, but seem to have no idea of making a raid on the interior for the present. They have been stealing a good deal of corn, cotton and potatoes, near Port Royal, S. C.,biif. reliable authority informs US that the Caniinians.phe other day, sent a detachment from one of their regiments and laid Waste all the farms in that region, devot ing all the barns and cotton houses to the flames. TJiat was perfectly right', and ire are in favor of devotin g the populous’and wealthy city of Sa vannah to the same destroying element, in pre ference to letting it fall into their hands. But we have no idea they will ever attempt to cap ture Savannah, for they are fearful of a defeat in this quarter, lest it should kill off the poten cy'of their great fleet, and prove, what every body knows, that with all the splendor of their equipments, they are unable to cope with the naked valor of the South. We have been watching, with considerable interest, the fight going on at Milledgevillc, be „ tween Gov. Brown and the Legislature, and while the difficulty is deprecated and re garded as shameful at this important crisis, Gov. Brown is sustained in his attempt to pre serve the Georgia army, and ue (the second regiment) believe now, that the dignity of the State demands it. The writer has.rcad the ar guments of those who supported the “transfer of the troops,” and without any groat confi dence in Gov. Brown, he believes that the States of the Confederacy ought, as a measure of safety against a future possible aggression bv Confederate authority, maintain a distinctive identity, as indisputable evidence of theif sove reignty. In no way can the fact be more fair ly established than by the acknowledged right to raise and maintain an army. She surrenders .up her right to do this in time of peace, but she has power to raise an army when she needs it, find that is when she is threatened with in vasion. whether bv a sister State or a foreign State. State sovereignty is the only safeguard left by the dissolution of the old Union for the preservation of constitutional liberty. We have seen a great, enlightened nation, full of great statesmen, endowed with all the knowledge of past ages, ruthlessly broken up, and its people pTumred’ into all the horrors of civil war; and whdt .shall we say to those who ask us to surren der up o'iir privileges into the hands of a crad Government? It is said that “a burnt child dreads the fire.” So it is with us now. Who will be security for the permanence of the Confederate Government? Perhaps it will last as long and even much longer than the old Union did, but that is not the end of posterity. Here we iuterpose “ State sovereignty as a bulwark against the ultimate destruction of the liberties we at this day enjoy, and are now on the battlefield to defend. We have seen that if they had been left entirely in the keeping of the General Government, they would now have been lost to us —perhaps forever. But the States resumed their sovereignty when they found their rights in danger, and they have been taught a severe lesson —let them heed it. Weakness and a common danger has made us one and an unconquerable people, but let us be ware of a loßg peace, prosperity and wealth.— With ease and luxury comes indolence, imbe cility and corruption, and these are mortal dis- < B R A A W A REJE Al’,) Proprietor*. | eases to ail nations afflicted with them. The old L nion died with them all combined—let j the new take warning. But I have digressed somewhat. You will discover, from what I have hinted, that we, as Georgia State Troops, are opposed to being transferred to the Confederate States,” with out our consent, notwithstanding the eloquence Oi Messrs. Moore and Love, of your county, to the contrary, and claim, as citizens of Georgia and, moreover, as soldiers in her army, to have and feel quite as much interest in her welfare. We have no objections to fighting for the Con tederate States, in fact, we are doing so when we are fighting for Georgia; but after wc have been regularly organized, armed and equipped as State Troops, served out nearly half our term of service, with feelings of just pride, for the power and influence of the great State we represent, you may readily imagine that we have not watched with pleasure the folly of the Legislature iu putting themselves to so much trouble to get rid of us. I liave thuoght that as none of them ever had anything to do with an army before, perhaps they sprung the ques tion merely to “try their hands’’ and to have a record ot the fact. Doubtless they have read the histories ot Greece and Rome, and perad venture, so far civilized as to have heard of the trench Revolution—where great armies lay idle in the field at enormous expense to the go vernment, simply awaiting the puny decision of factious Senates, more honorable for antiquity than poteut through their wisdom. It we guessed correctly, we hope they have gained by their experience, and will hereafter acquit themselves as legislators of turbulent times and provide for the defense of their State with a firm, decisive resolution to make preparations in proportion to the magnitude of the danger. I intended to speak of some other things in this connection, but find that I have already lengthened out this article more than I expect ed. 1 Soldier.

Corraipoa.lcace of eLc Souijcin Eutcrjirisc. Camp Jasper, Near Savannah, Ga., { Dec. 11, 1801. j Friend Rcncau: Nothing of importance has happened in or around our camps since I wrote you last. Although our shores are daily threat ened by an invasion from a hostile foe our sol diery are apparently unconcerned. We are decidedly the most self-complacent, indifferent set of meu I ever saw. At night we retire in to our little “ cloth houses’ ’ and feel as secure there as if we were lying within the arched walls of some impregnable fortress. Often times during the calm, quiet hours of night the sound of the belching cannon is heard from the Lincoln fleet, but so indistinct arc the sounds in our camps that they do not excite even a fear of alarm ! We give attention for a few moments —the camps are still —then change our positions upon our pallets of straw and we are soon cradled again in the arms of “Somnus” to dream, perhaps, of loved ones at home. To give you an idea of the unconcernedness of our soldiery, I will particularize an instance: A few mornings ago, between the hours of one and two o’clock, we were awakened from our slumbers by the rapid firing of large artillery! I arose aud went out of my tent when the glare of the light caused by the burning of “Tybee Light House” was visible —a distance of more than twenty miles ! Notwithstanding the firing continued for mors than an hour, ra pid and sharp, our camps appeared unconcern ed and quiet. After the reville that morning only a few, very few, of the men inquired what the firing meant. They were told that “Capt. Reed, with four or five men, had set a torch to the Light House upon Tybee Island for the purpose of destroying it entirely.” The Yan kees seeing this demonstration began shelling the Island believing they would do great de struction ; but, as usual, were disappointed in their malicious designs. I noticed through the CQlumns of your paper that the different county offices are in great de mand. Some of the aspirants, if I mistake not, were once staunch war men. Do they en tertain those principles yet? If they do, T would say to them come ! Our country lound ;ly calls for help. Let every man come that can leave his home without material injury to his comforts and his pockets. It is not I, an humble writer, that tells you come; but it is an appeal from your own beloved South! She is calling in clarion tones upon every one of her loyal sons. Already has the bright escutch eon of our beloved Georgia been insulted by the footprints of Lincoln’s minions. Sons of j Georgia ! Sons of the South! how long shall \ve suffer these indignities to be offered ? Shall ;it be for years? God forbid. If you cant i come as a commissioned officer, let me whisper THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1861. that it is no disgrace to enter the service of our country as a private. Our army, both infan try and cavalry, is not full and their ranks re main open for recruits. Voters of Thomas i county, act judiciously, act prudently in the selection of your county officers. Let it not j be said that you have detracted, in some de gree, from the strength of our Southern army by placing into civil offices men that could have been made soldiers. Arborist.

Rienrnond, Dec. 14.—Official intelligence received says the Fcderals five thousand strong attacked Col. Edward Johnson’s command on Valley Mountain on the 13th, but were repuls ed with great loss, after an engagement of sev en hours. The battle commenced at seven o’clock in the forenoon. Johnson’s force is 1,200, and has since been reinforend by two regiments. Johnson is a Virginian and a graduate of West Point, but commands the 12th Georgia Regiment. Excepting the news of the victory at Valley Mountain, there is nothing ox interest from the camps. Ben McCulloch has arrived. New fork, Dec. 30.—Cotton firm. Sales 1800 bales of middling upland at 31 to 31T New York papers, of the 10th, and Balti more papers, af the 11th, have been received at Centreville. The news of the Mason and Slidell affair Lad not reached England. The steamer Nashville was still at South Auipton, and created a good deal of discussion in England. The London times says that the Nashville must be treated as a ship of war, on the same footing as those of the United States. The abolition tendency was increasing in the North. The Philadelphia Enquirer publishes a state ment which evidences the number of sick and wounded among the Fedecals to be from forty to fifty thousand. The New York correspondent of the Inqui rer says that Minister Faulkner has been liber ated and will soon be on his way South. Wall street is afflicted with the blues in con sequence of the big estimates of the Secretary of the Treasury. The New York Herald, of the 10th, says that Gen. Price, of Missouri, has played out and a young Virginian has been appointed over him. A large number of Hatteras prisoners, in cluding eleven officers, will be released in a few days from Fort Warren. Gen Banks has gone into winter quarters at Frederick. Gen.

Richmond , Pec. 13. —In Congress to-day, Mr. Kenner, of Louisiana, offered the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted: A resolution to make an advance to the State of South Carolina, on account of her claims agaiust the Confederate States. Resolved, That the sum of two hundred and fifity thousand dollars be aud is hereby ap~ j propriated as an advance on accout of any claims of the State of South Carolina against the Confederate States, and that the same be paid to such person as may be authorized by | the Legislature of South Carolina to receive the same. The Georgia Legislature, we learn, Satur day unanimously appropriated §IOO,OOO to” the : city of Charleston, as an expaession of their | sympathy with her in her recent affliction. The City Council of Savannah have appro priated ten thousand dollars to aid the suffer ers in Charleston. Over §6,000 were subscribed in a public meeting in Augusta, Friday last, for the relief .of the Charleston sufferers. A committee was 1 appointed to solicit other subscriptions. From the Charleston Mercury. 12/A inst. . The Crval Fire iu Chtirlr-ion. ‘ This morning dawned drearily upon a night ! of terror and disaster. About nine o’clock last evening, the alarm rang out, calling the citizeus to quell the beginning of a tire, which, in the | subsequent extent and rapidity of its ruinous j j sweep, will compare with the’most terrible con- j j flagrutions which have ever visited the Ameri : can continent. The wild work of the flames, i and the immense destruction of property which has thus far taken place, is chiefly attributable j to the sudden and unfortunate change in the weather, which occurred almost simultaneously i with the breaking out of the fire. The mild and spring-like calmness of the atmosphere du ring the last fortnight was broken by heavy gusts of wind, which swept the dust and smoke and sparks hither and thither in blinding clouds. Great flaming bits of wood were borne in dense showers for a distance of nearly a mile in a southwest direction, and the whole city was brightly lit up by the dreadful and widening glare. Before ten o’clock the fire had began raging in several, different points in the lower part of the city. The buildings in the stricken neigh borhoods were mostly of wood, old, closely built and surrounded by small out-buildings of an exceedingly inflamable character. As ten ement after tenement was first licked by and then enveloped in the fast spreading flames, , the panic became awful. The fierce, roaring march of the lire was a horrible scene; but tar more heart-rending was the sight of hundreds —we ought, perhaps, to say thousands—of poor and bewildered families, driven suddenly from their homes, destitute of their scanty effects.— All the available carts, drays, handcarts and wheelbarrows, were immediately brought into requisition; but these were altogether inade quate to remove even a tithe of the moveables beyond the reach of the devouring elements. Towards midnight the fire had assumed pro portions of appaling magnitude. The circum ference which it embraced was such as to ren der the most desperate efforts of our entire fire brigade of comparative insignificance. The regiments from the Race Course came down at double-quick to the burning Wards, and co op erated most earnestly and indefatigably in the labors of (ur undaunted firemen. But still the northeastern gale fanned the fire with its deso lating breath, and the people began almost to : despair of checking the progress of the disas ter. From the precincts-of Market, East Bay and State streets, the conflagration had now reached Meeting and Queen streets. The terror of the families (in tnanv cases without their usual protectors, owing to the military exigen- ] cies of the times) was contagions, and much < farther up into the city the work of packing up valuables and getting ready to desert their i homesteads became general. To give anything like a full account of the results, of what will hereafter be khown as the Great Fire of 1861, in the confusion and gene ral consternation that prevails while we write, ; is manifestly impossible. Many positions of the burned district are quite unapproachable, and it is exceedingly difficult, at this time, to glean any accurate information whatever in regard to the enormous losses which have occurred. — We must content ourselves, therefore, with giving our scanty notes jotted down at various hours during the night. Ten o’clock —The fire began at Russell & Go’s sash and blind factory, at the foot of Ha sell street, and the report —though a vague one —is, that it appeared in three places at the same time. Crossing to the other side of Ha- : sell street, it has burned Cameron & Co’s im mense machine shops, and, under the impulse acquired at that point and the stiff breeze from the northeast, without a sufficient supply of | water —for it is dead low tide—it has become totally unmanageable, and rages without the : hope of being able to arrest it, except at cer tain strategic points, upon which extraordinary interests depend. Eleven O’clock. —The out buildings in the rear of Institute Hall have been set on fire by the sparks. The attention of the firemen is directed thither and they are straining every nerve to save Meeting street. The frame build ings on Queen street are smoking and will pre sently blaze forth. Twelve o’clock. —Meeting street, from Mar ket to Queen, is one mass of flame. The Cir cular Church and Institute Hall are burning. The Mills House is thought in imminent dan ger, while the fire seems stretching its red arms around the Charleston Hotel. There has been a general desertion of both hotels by the guests, under the that they cannot be saved. One o’clock. —The track of the conflagration begins to be clearly defined. Leaping Church street (on which no block excepting that next to Market, has been burnt) the fire is steadily pursuing its southwesterly course towards the j corner of Archdale and Queen streets. Two o’clock. —At this hour the fire is still raging with violence scarcely abated. A splen did effort was made by the fire companies to save the house ot L. W. Spratt, on East Bay street, which was successful; and with it was saved the fine line of buildings on Ilasell street the fiite of which depended upon that result. Passing to the south westward, the fire has swept the entire tract to the rear of’the Charles-) ton Hotel, and to the end of the Hayrte street 1 ranges. There are no buildi?fgs north ot Mar ket street, and east of the Hayne street stores, still standing, except, perhaps, those of llenrj Gerdts and the Misses Pinckney. Crossing Market street, the fire has extended down East Bav to Cumberland street, and thence across to ’the Mills House, taking, in its way, the Cir cular Church, Institute Hall, the Charleston j Theatre, all the buildings upon King street, | from Clifford street up 4c within a few doors of 1 Broad street. Crossing King street, the flames j are approaching the rear of the Cathedral, the Unitarian and the English Lutheran Churches. Three o'clock. —The steeple of the Circular Church has just toppled and fallen, with a heavy crash. Gen. Ripley, who is moving to and fro, superintending the movements of the troop with characteristic energy, gave orders several hours ago, to blow up certain buildings in the track <sf the flames. The execution of this order, delayed at first, has at length been accomplished. Ever and anon, daring the past ) hour, the explosions have rent the air. * Iu the lower part of the city the fire has j done its work in thorough style. Its path is I now burned out, and nothing now remains to mark where it passed, save smouldering piles of cinders and gaunt and smoking walls and chimneys. The Charleston Hotel is safe and Hayne street too. The wind lias swept the j danger off further to the south. Although the ; fire rages on three sides of the Mills House, j | that fine structure has not caught. The Thea- ! tre, Lloyd's Coach Factory opposite, the Ex j change Office, the old Executive building and I all the houses between that point and Quqep : street have been burned. The fire seems ma king straight towards the Jail. Companies of the Reserves have been ordered out to repress any possible disturbance among the prisoners confined in that building. The wind has abat ed somewhat. Four o'clock. —A change in the wind has bent the course of the fire towards Broad street. The Lutheran and Unitarian Churches are now considered safe. The Cathedral seems now in exceeding danger. The buildings on the west side of Friend street, near the corner of Queen, are burning fiercely. St. Andrew’s Hail is on lire, and the noble spire of St Fin bar’s glitters with a splendor of portentous import. The occupants of houses on Broad street, beyond King, are moving their effects. Quarter past jive o’clock. —As the clock of St. Michael’s tolls the quarter, the Cathedral steeple'has fallen with a tremendous crash.— The Cathedral is burning furiously; likewise St. Andrew’s Hall. In fact, the whole of Broad street is on fire from Mr. Gadsden’s to Mazyck street. The residences of Messrs. Geo. M. Cof fin, Jas. L. Petigru, and others near by, are consumed. The flames have now crossed Broad street, and, as the wind has not lulled, it is im possible to say where they will stop —Short of the river. There does not appear to be any imminent danger of the fire again making headway either to the right or to the left of the furrow which it has cloven through our fair city from East Bay to King street. But the head of the con flagration is Brill fearful to look upon and is pushing forward with giant strides as we go to press. Great, indeed, has been the calamity which has fallen upon our noble old city. But let us, with unfailing hope and courage, bestir our selves at once to amend the losses we have sus tained, and to relieve, each one according to his means, the great sufferings which the fire must entail upon its poor “victims.
