truth and of justice ? Fighting for tha land of
my birth, for the rights guaranteed to ua by

that death, in its moat horrid aad ghastly form,

whsn it is done life will base lost all eharms

perpetuated slarary upon me, rather than
shower on my head tha blaaainga of a liberty
bought witb the blood of others. Let me pour
out the gushing fountain of my own heart to
a. cure my own rights, aad I am content.
I
went no liberty but my own, aebisTad by my
own eiertiona and purohased with my own
blood. Call me not a blind enthusiast. Does
love of Oouotry need a stimulant to call it Into
aotioo ? Mutt Reason be dethroned that the
fires of patriotism may bo aroused? No idle
dream of fame, no elaTiah loan of moony, ac

try. I want no remuneration. Giro me a few
tattered rags to hide my nakedness, a emit to
appease the gnawings of hunger, and Liberty,
and I am happy.
You want me to continue my studies. Do
you suppose I can forget a bleeding country
and devote my time and attention to the study
of the law? Impossible! 1 sometimes taka
up ioy books, determined to forget everything
else, but soon my mind is wandering over the
plains of tie Old Dominion, end in my Imag
ination I hear tha thunder of oannon on our
borders, and see the smoke of battle eaoend in
dense columns towards Heaven, and books,
home, self, are all forgotten, end I long for the
hour of departure to arrive.
I know it will wring my heart to bid you
perhaps a laat farewell. Were I the only ona
to regret my leaving, I could go without a

niuoh for me. Kvery day I think of that sad,

Your correspondent baa net received a letter

though ha has repeatedly written end tele
graphed te Richmond to hava his mall mailer
forwarded to Ibis plaee by Express. A week’s
residence hers, however, would suffice lo re
move all surprise that might be created by
this statement. The people are remarkably
alow in tbair movements, and are utter stran
gers to energy and enterprise. This is true
not only in regard to their private affairs, but
of their railway officers, postmasters, tele
graphio operators and express agantr. It re
quires as much time for one of their railroads
to move a regiment of 1,000 men as Mr. Cuy-
ler (of tha Ceotral K. H I would ask to move
10,000. If thia inactivity whioh seem* to per
vade all classes, were confined to their ordi
nary vocations alone, it might be suffered to
pass without remark; but unfortunately. It
extende also to their military movements.

man was so irreverent a fen days ago as to

Gov. Wise was ths only live man he had en
countered in the Slate. This is a vile slender
of oourae.
But whatever may be said of the cavaliers
themselves, ao lack of industry ran be charg
ed against the saintly puritans who have emi-
grstad from the Northern States and eettlad
bars. They are quick-witted and sharp sight
ed enough; but unfortunately, all of their ac
tivity is put forth just at this tlma in behalf of
the enamy.
It was only a few deys ago that one of our
aoouts, coming Is a sudden lure in the road,
discovered a man perched upon the top of a
distant bill, wkleh commanded a good view of
the country for miles around. The moment
the solitary watcher saw the ecout, he disap
peared behind aome bnahee and took shelter
io a cabin close by, on the further aide of the
bill. Tba aeout galloped forward rapidly, and
when be reached the house, enquired of the
old woman who mat him at the gats (not tha
door) where bar huabaod was. Her reply was
that be had gone to hunt ib< raw (then about
noon.) Her pronunciation of “ oow” satis
fied the trooper that he was in tha presence of
ona of your regular blue nose, witch-burn
ing l'uritsns ; whereupon be Insisted upon
searching the house. The old woman protes
ted with the moat approved nasal twang, that
there waa not a living thing in the house—
not ao muoh as a dog; but the soldier waa
still incradoloua, aud finally proceeded to
search the oabio, when he discovered the old
men up stairs under a bed, witb a telescope
in bis pocket. The trooper describee him,
when bs dragged him out,aa the meanest look
ing creature ha ever saw, axeepl lha old wo
man.
Going to the hill-top, he saw where the old
wretch had worn away the grass in his soll-
tary vigils for the enemy; end sweeping the
oonntry with the telescope, he discovered on a
distant hill, partially concealed, a Federal
sentinel, between whom and the old man well
understood signals passed every day. And
yet the trooper, who was a Virginian, came
baok without tha old man, giving as an ex
cuse, that he wee toe eld to do auy harm I—

Our Special Yorktown Correapoudeuce
Reflections “on the spot'—The soldiers at York-
town and Gloucester Point—River forlifica
tions—The obtervrnce of the 4th July, fc.
Yorktown, Va., July 4th. 1861.
Editor* of the Southern Confederacy:
I hav* concluded,on this memorable dey, to
giro you such a description of this post and
its forces, as the space of »n ordinary letter
will permit.
The graphic pen of the historian has ren
dered ua necessary far me to say much of a
place so f»moue in American history where the
laat blowa for independence was struck. U is
the hallowed spot wh«re the hellish prosecutor
of tyrany—Cornwallis—surrendered his sword
through bis aid, O'Hara, to Major General
Lincoln, who was appointed by Gen. Washing
ton to receive it, on the J9tb of October, 1781.
The a*aociations>nd memorise that cluster
around this consecrated spot, made sacred by
the glorious triumph of patriots, who deemed
nothing too good to be offered upon the altar of
Liberty, ard nothing too dear to be sacrificed
when thetr country called, causes us to bow
our beads with veneration for ths apot, and in
spires us with eourage and patriotic pride to
transmit in its unsullied purity to posterity,
that independence which was proclaimed
eighty five jeers sgo, to day, by our forefath
ers, “who knew their lights, end knowing,
dared maintain."
I believe, that could the illustrious dead,
whose bones lie bleaching upon, or entombed
within thia sacred plot of aartb, rise like Ph®
uiz, from the ashes of ages, they would bid us
“battle on bravely, and preserve that sacred
legacy of freedom, for which we toiled, shed
our blood, and died."
Ton thousand cherished memories of this
•pot, and others equally as dear, crowd upon
my mind and struggle for uttsrance, as con
templation brings to memory the heroic deeds
of our fathers in deys agone. But 1 must de
sist, or my intended letter will turn out to be
an oration.
The soldiery composing the forces of this
post consists of the 2d and 6th Louisiana Reg-
ments, of the former of which I am a mem
ber; the 2d end 6th 27. C. Regiments, Colonel
Winston’s Alabama, and Col. Colquit’e Georgia
Regiment; a Virginia and a Louisiana Bat
talion; tha New Orleans Zouaves; tha Howit-
ters and other Artillery ; making in all, about
teu thousand hardy sons, who are stationed on
this, the south side, of York River. On the
opposite beach, called Gloucester Point, are
stationed about three thousand soldiers. The
brows of this stream on both sides, are frown
ing with heavy Artillery upon the bosom of
tha waters below.
Old Abe’s vessels were seen crossing the
stream below about tha head of Chaaapeaka
Bay, on yesterday, as if thay were busily en
gaged in some movement, and now while 1 am
panning these lines, I hear distant cannonad
ing, some twenty miles below, roaring and
muttering like distent thunder.
Tha blockading steamer is anchored in sight
about tan miles below us. Had I the trident
of Neptune to wield at my will, i would give
her a watery bad, where she could no more
disturb the peece and quietude of a justly in
dignaut people.
Wa feel almost impregnable hers, having
added to our naturally strongly fortified poet,
many redouts and entrenchments. It would
taka twenty-five or thirty thousand Hessians
to dislodge us.
Wa hava had only one engagement with
the enemy this far, and than our Louisiana
Regiment wes just too late to participate in
the fight and share a portion of that brilliant
victory, which decks tha brows of tha North
Carolinians and Virginians with imperishable
laurels. 1 allude to tha battle at Bethel
Church, the re«ult of which is already wall
known to every Southron. Wa marebed at
tha rata of “doable quick," to essist those breve
sons, who seat up tbair Macedonian oaJJ of
-Corns ondhotpu*/' but we were treat fallen

three quarters ef an kouri and we bad

officers. Aud then, our Colonel is good look-
ing—not very loll, nor loo low, but n well knil
figure; nud when he givee s commend he
mesas whet be says. But I promised you a
line or two In relation to ths punishment of
violators sf the military corps lews. For in
stance, some soldier, happened, the other day
(o ” t-rite a leetle too much of tht craturenod
being truly fond of this beverage, the beet
punishment thul could be awarded him, was
making him promenade up and down the lines
with a large quart bottle full of tha beloved
fluid, aud a guard e'er him reedy to charge
bayonet ths moment he attempted la "draw
HopperIU would occasionally shake it,
smell it oiten, and adorning the fine head on
its margin, was oiten heard to eay :
Livea there a man witb soul so dead
Who to himaeif, Ao”—
Taking oare to substitute the the word " bot
tle” ia the place of "laud.’’ He stood this
novel punishment for three hours. Then,
again, another ooa committed aootber breach,
and ba waa made to “ride straddle” on the
little six-pounder for two boure one day and
two iba neat. Thia was pretty itvere, and
tba boya lay they do not want to ride the ean
non. Then, again, soma mark time, sum* are
compelled to do double duly, Ae.
Our camp ie almost always alive with the
fair sez—thay oheer our lonely hours, and
tba soldisr feels that he has something to fight
for at aach ezbibilion of their smiling faces.
Lai tba girls corns and see us and “ bring th
knitting.”
I hope you will come up and get a copy of
our whole brigabe encampment, and sketch
therefrom a map for tha benefit of your nu
merous patrons whohavo relatives and friends
hers. You oould easily dispose of them at ten
