I have just conversed with a distinguished planter who has been offered eight cents a pound for his entire crop. A little while ago it was six cents a pound. Every intelligent man with whom I have conversed thinks that the war will be closed within a few months, and thus the advance in this great staple. The Legislature has appointed a Council of three to aid Gov. Pickens. Ex-Governor Gist and Col. Chesnut are two of the Council. Upon the arrival of the Council the Governor committed to them the affairs of State, and went out recuperating into the country. The State College, located here, has fifty students. The Southern Presbyterian Seminary has thirty. The Methodist Female College and the Military Institute, also located here, have a small attendance. The Dispatch is more sought for here than any paper of the Confederacy. Everybody seems anxious to get it

Augusta, June 4. --The Savannah Republican of this morning has dispatches from Charleston, dated yesterday, which state that the enemy landed, about four hundred strong, at James Island, nearly opposite the city, and were repulsed with the loss of twenty prisoners. Gen. Gist's last dispatch says: "The prisoners taken this morning report that the enemy landed strong last night, on Battery Island, with a like force at Legareville, John's Island. The enemy are in front of me, but under cover of their gunboats." 5 P. M.--The twenty Yankee prisoners captured on James Island, have just passed on their way to jail. Ninety more were cut off and will probably be captured. Heavy firing continues in that direction.

linton counties, in Kentucky, is increasing. Four rebel regiments of infantry have passed through Jamestown, and twenty-four more regiments are reported at Morristown, East Tennessee. Gen. Buckner is said to be at Clinton. There are rebel pickets on the Cumberland river at every available point. It is said that three brigades have reinforced Gen. Bragg, but the probability is that those troops had gone to assist Gen. Pemberton at Vicksburg, and that they comprised those of Gens. Churchill, Gist, and Walker. From Mississippi. Our news via Fredericksburg anticipates the news in the Herald with reference to the condition of affairs near Vicksburg. It says that the official reports of Gen. Grant's action at Jackson and the capture of that city, forwarded by Gen. Hurlburt from Memphis, merely mentions that "the Capitol was burned," but does not state by whom. It assumes not to know whether it was done by the troops of Gen. Grant, by the rebels in retreating, or by accident.

Another Female soldier. --The Rome (Ga) Courier says that one day last week a pretty little Georgia girl, dressed up in neatly-fitting male habiliments, applied to a Lieutenant of General Gist's command, at Rome, to be enrolled and mustered into the Confederate service. Her request was complied with, and she was about to be sent out to camp, when some one, suspicious of her sex, suggested that little ruffled petticoats and a more feminine occupation than that of the manual of the piece wox, suggested that little ruffled petticoats and a more feminine occupation than that of the manual of the piece would be more appropriate. She was accordingly sent before Gen. Gist, to whom she confessed her sex, said she was from Gainesville, Ga., and that she had the consent of her parents to disguise herself in male attire and enter the army and revenge the death of her brother, who, poor fellow, was killed in Virginia.--She was sent to Atlanta under escort, but has since made her escape.

nded by Gen. M. Jenkins, of South Carolina, presented a striking subject for the painter or historian. We saw grouped together, in a picturesque cluster, around the chief of all, officers whose traces have been written on every battle-field, and whose names are household words. General Bragg, Lieut. Generals Longstreet and D. H. Hill, Major-Generals Chestham, Buckner, Breckinridge, Mclawa, Walker, Cleburne, and Stuart; Brigadier-Generals (commanding divisions) Preston and Jenkins; Brigadier-Generals Gist, Mackall, and others whose names I do not at present recollect. Attending the President were Colonels Chesnut and Johnston, of his personal staff, Gen. Custis Lee, Col. Preston, of Kentucky, and Lieutenant-General Pemberton. The presence of the latter officer excited some surprise in the army, though it was not generally known, and it was surmised by some that the design of the President is to place him in command of the corps of Gen. Polk, who is now suspended. Whether Pemberto

e been engaged. Grant deployed his immense masses in two heavy lines of battle, and sometimes in three, supported by large reserve forces. The spectacle was magnificent as viewed from the crest of Missionary Ridge. He advanced first against our right wing, about 10 o'clock, where he encountered that superb soldier, Lieut. General Hardee, who commanded on the right, whilst Major General Breckenridge commanded on the left. Hardee's command embraced Cleburne's, Walker's, (commanded by Gen. Gist, Gen. Walker being absent,) Cheatham's, and Stevenson's divisions. Breckinridge's embraced his old division, commanded by Brig. Gen. Lewis, Stewart's, part of Buckner's, and Hindman's, commanded by Patton Anderson. The enemy's first assault upon Hardee was repulsed with great slaughter, as was his second, though made with double lines, supported with heavy reserves. The wave of battle, like the wave of the sea when it dashes against a rock bound coast, beat and hissed, and struggled in

a fatiguing march the army, with its long trains, arrived at Ringgold during the afternoon and night. The enemy had thrown forward a mixed column of mounted infantry, artillery, and cavalry, which was harassing our rear guard, under command of Gen. Gist, considerably. At one time Gen. Bragg ordered the wagons towards the rear to be moved out of the road and parked with a view, it is said, of having them burnt rather than let them fall into the hands of our enemies. Gen. Gist was repeatedly pGen. Gist was repeatedly pressed back against the wagons, but he managed finally, with the aid of his brave command, (Walker's division,) to save them all. At one time the enemy got in between him and the main column, but he took a neighborhood road and thus escaped destruction. Unfortunately Ferguson's battery of four guns, belonging to Walker's division, was captured. The horses were in very had condition and unable to keep up with the column, and hence the disaster. The greater part of the men and horses escaped.

g man in the army was surprised next morning, Tuesday, the 24th November, when Hooker's guns opened on Lookout.--Gen. Hardee, who, had been in command on the left, was transferred to the right, and Walker's division, commanded in his absence by Gen. Gist, was moved from the mountain during the night and posted on Missionary Ridge to the right. Stevenson was left in command on Lookout his own division and Cheatham's.
