A magazine publishes the following, from the pen off late traveler in South Carolina : The rain was falling in torrents, and the night was as ‘dark as the darkest collier of the dark place belew ’’ We were in the midst of what seemed an endless forest of turpentine ines, and had seen no habitation for hours. Rot knowing where the road might lead us, and feeling totally unable to proceed, we de- termined to ask shelter at the shanty for the night. ‘n answer to our summons, a wretched-look- ing, half-clad, dirt- led woman, thrust her head from the doorway, with the inquiry, “Who are ye?”’ . ** We’m only massa and me and the hoss, and we'm half dead wid the cold,” said Scipio; fipea thee rmtee out aera , Strangers,” the woman, eye- ing us as closely as pwede would permit, ‘you'll find mighty poor fixins har, but I reckon ye can come in.”’ Entering the house we saw by the light of a blazing pile of pine knots which roared and crackled on the hearth, that it conteined only a single apartment, about 20 feet square. In front of the fireplace, which cocupied the better half of one side of the room, the floor was of the bare earth, littered over with pine chips, dead cinder, live coals, brazen pots and a lazy spaniel dog. Opposite to this, at the other end of the room, were two low beds, which looked as if they had been “‘slept in forever, and never made up.’’ Against the wall, between the beds and the fire-place, stood a small pine table, and on it was a large wooden bowl, from whose mouth protruded t! pegrees = oan unwaskgd pewter spoons. On the right of the fire was a eced rocking chair, evidently pe peculiar property of the mistress of the man- sion, and three blocks of pine logs, sawed off * SUMULATIN’ A BEEHIVE BY CAPT.

Of course the goods are never sent; and the luckless victims either never hear any thing further of their investments, or the sharpers answer their complaints by a lying letter, asserting that the remittance never reached them.

The battle lasted without intermission during the entire day, and was again renewed on Mon- day morning, and continued unheeded until four o’clock in the afternoon, when the enemy com- menced to retreat, and {s still flying towards Co- rinth, pursued by a large force of our cavalry. The slaughter on both sides has been Immense. We have lost in killed and wounded and missii from 18,000 to 20.000, whilst thet of the enemy estimated at from 35,000 to 60,000. The fight wes brought on by 300 of the 25th Missouri regiment of Gen. Prentiss’ division at- tacking the advance guard of the rebels, which were sup, to be the pickets of the enemy. The rebels immediately advanced on Gen Prentiss’ division, on the left wing, pouring in Volley efter volley of musketry, and riddling our camps with grape, canister and shell. Our forces soon formed into line of battle, and returned the fire vigorously, and by the time we were prepared to receive them they had turned their Leaviest fire on the left and centre of Gen Sherman’s division, and drove ourmen back from their camps, and bringing up a fresh force opened fire on our left wing, ucder Gen McClernand.

We were, there- fore. coatesting against fearful odds, our forces not exceeding 35,000 men, while that of the en- emy was upwards of 60,000. Our condition at this moment was extremely critical. Large numbers of our men were panic- stricken, and others were worn out by hard fight- ing, with the average per ee 8 of skulkers, who had straggied towards the river, and could not, for the time, be rallied.
