ATLANTA, GEORGIA*
SATURDAY, AUGUST 3, 1801.
lout Ueteuie.
Since our editorial which appeared in our is
sue of the 1st instant, was written, we hate
been iufunued that a company of men have
bceu forming in thia city, for a few days past,
for the defense of our coast. The company is
composed exclusively of u»eu whose circum-
htances are such as they cannot volunteer for
the war, but cau for a short periinl. On this
account, they propose to terveon the coast du
ring the coming winter for six months or more
— until summer shall again drive the invader
away—fret of charge— asking only to be armed
and fed during their service, and to be at no
further expense io the State or the Confed
eracy.
This, in our judgment, is a good move, and
should extend to every county in the 8tate. A
sufficient force of men to defend our coast
should be made up of those who cannot go into
service for the war; aud for the privilege of
rendering their share of service without vol
unteering for the war, ought to be willing to
defend our coast without pay.
Let c >mpanies of such men, for thia purpose,
be formed all over the State, aud let them ten
der their services at once to the Governor
or President Davis. Let them be willing,
and hold themselves in leadiness to go at
any moment, when called for. If the Presi
dent and Congress should think favorable of
this plan, let an act be passed authorising the
President to call out such forces upon the
terms specified, for the purpose of coast de-
feuac.
The Way we get our Property.
Before the war broke out, the Governor of
Alabama sent an agent to the North to pur
chase arms. Amongst other purchases, the
agent ordered six brass pieces to be cast at
James* Foundry, in Massachusetts. Only two
of these guns were delivered to the Governor
before tbo crisis came. The other four were
seized in New York. They were turned over
to a Connecticut Artillery Company, who were
charged to take the guns to Alabama, and de
liver the content* to those for whom the guns
were fitst intended. This Artillery company
undertook the job, and brought the guns as far
as Manassas, whore they were—delivered to
(iCrt. Beauregard, (much against the will of the
Counecticuts,) who will relieve them from all
farther responsibility concerning their engage
ment.
We fiod this statement in the Montgomery
correspondence of the Mobile Advertiser A
Register.
The “Avalanche”—Give Credit.
In the ‘‘Daily (Memphis) Avalanche," of the
29th July, (which by the by, is the first of
the daily issue of thatjournai we have receiv
ed in nearly a month,) we find the letter of
our special army correspondent at Mauassas,
of the 22d July —the day after the buttle, with
out giviug us credit.
We do not blame the editor of the 4, Ava-
lauche" for copying the letters of our special
correspondent, for they are the most ably
written, the most readable, and the most reli
able of any letters we see from the seat of war,
for any of the journals in the Confederate
States ; but we do find fault with these letters
being taken from our columns and appropriat
ed by others without telling where they were
obtained.
It may not have been done intentionally, but
was doubtless through negligence, which is only
a little less excusable.
The Way our Hoys at Pensacola sent the
News over to Port Pickens.
We fiud (he following in the Pensacola cor
respondence of the Montgomery Advertiser :
Some of the boys, fearing that •* Billy Wil
son’s Pets” would uot get the news of our
victory, aud glorious triumph over Soott’s
select columns at Manassas, as soon as the
papers containing reliable dispatches from
ihe seat of war came to hand, made a coilec
ticn en variety, pul them into a small boat,
wbicti was towed out into the bay, as far as
prudence would admit, and sent it adrift to*
wards Pickens. The movements were eager
ly watched from the other side with the aid
of the glass, but feariug no doubt, that the
boat contained some “ infernal machine,” it
was allowed to drift out of the harbor, and it
was doubtless subsequently levied ou as a
prize by some of Abe’s satellites. Fearing
their project had failed, and not willing to
giva it up so, our heroes of the boat institu
ted a canine carrier. Selecting a cur of low
degree, oue of a decidedly “ bad breed of
dogs,” attaching to his neck a sealed bottle,
into which had been deposited an abundant
aupply of “ clippings” from the latest tele
grams, they took him iu a boat to the middle
of the bay, where he was launched with a kick
in the rear, and his nose in the direction of
Pickens, lie made tracks for the other shore,
aud when landed, he made tracks up the
island, dreading no doubt the treatment he
might receive at the hands of the Hessians.
Not being in possession of their countersign,
he was captured at nightfall, and the news of
their gallant Scott’s defsat revealed to their
unwilling minds.
The Lincoln Government has prepared a
direct taxation bill, in which a certain amount
is apportioned to each State, to be raised for
the support of war measures. The following
are the amounts to be oalled for from the Con
federate States : Virginia, $1,400,326; North
Carolina, $804,202 ; South Carolina, $545,-

The Retreat from Laurel Hill—The Suf
fering* of tlie First Georgia Regiment.
[Wt continue to day the publication of a ••
rise of letters upon the retreat from Laurel
Hill.]
The next letter we have, Is written by one
of the Newoan Guards also, from Monterey,
on the same day—the 19th His adventures
are of the most thrilling interest, aud related
with a simple truthfulness, and yet the nar
ration is so vivid and clear, that the attention
is riveted from beginning to end. The writer
of this letter is Oscar A. Cantrell, of ('amp
belllon. It was addressed to Dr. T. M. How*
ard. and, like Mr. Bass’, was not intended for
publioation.
“Our Colonel gave the command to retreat,
whioh 1 did not hear. The gur.s had quit fir
ing. It was raining very bard all the time,
and we were all wet as water could make us.
Our moD retreated, and, before I knew they
had done so, the enemy was passing on after
our army. I was sitting behind a large tree,
on the side of the mountain, within one hun
dred yard? of the road where the enemy were
passing. For an hour or two, I kept peeping
around at them, and saw nearly tbeir whole
force.
During all this time, (from the time we
left Laurel Hill on Thursday night,) we had
not had anything to eat, and it raining be
sides. Our men were iu no condition to fight,
even an equal number, but had to fight treble
their number.
1 will tell you how I escaped, before 1 pro
ceed with the balance of the fight. I lay close
to my tree until nearly night. I could hear
the men of the eueray all the evening that
were left to pick up their dead, hurrahing and
hallooing. One thing I heard that hurt my
feelings very much ; it was one of our men,
wounded, groaning and calling for help, aud
the Yankees making sport of bim, telling bim
to get up aud “right dress, you d—d rascal.”
He died, 1 suppose, as he ceased to call out.
A little while before night, I crawled up Ihe
mountain until I was far enough off io get up
and walk without being discovered. I found,
on the side of the mountain, twenty other men
who had beeu cut off iu the same manner that
I had—one of whom was a Captain. We weut
over the mountain and camped. We had not
yet eaten anything, and I assure you ae suf
fered with hunger. Next morning we came
across the enemy's picket guard, and made
them run. Some of them were on horses.—
One left his gun aud blanket. We took the
blanket, but left the gun, as each of us had a
gun, and no one of us was willing to carry
another. We traveled on a little farther, And
came iuto the road among the enemy. They
halted us. I thought to myself that we were
prisoners, but (hero was a man iu our com
pany who had formerly lived in Pennsylva
nia, and we put him before to do the talking.
He told them that we were volunteers from
Tioga county, Pennsylvania, and were going
on to join (be army. They told us to go ahead
aud help flog the rebels. Thus, claiming to
be abolitionists, we passed through them. As
soon as we got out of sight, we 100k the woods
and traveled in the mountains, wandering
about for three or four days, with but little to
eat. I never before kuew what it was to suf
fer. Finally, we got to a road the. led to
Franklin, Pendletou county. I gave out, so
that I could’nl travel, 20 miles from Frauk-
lin. Here the party left me. I rested half a
day and one night, aud hired me a horse to
ride to Franklin. When I arrived there,
which was day-before-yesterdsy, 1 met with
the regimeut, (that is, what was left,) and to
day we arrived at this place, where we will
stay one or two months to gain our strength
agaiu. The largest body of our troops staid
together until the last engagement. When
our General got killed they were scattered all
over tbo mountains.
We do not know how many of our men
were killed, but there are a great many miss
ing. They are scattered all over the moun
tains, and some will never get out, 1 fear.—
We lost all our baggage. Our Captain is now
gone to Richmond to see what will be dune
with the remnant of our men.”
Our next letter is from A II. Dudley, of this
city, a member of the Gate City Guards. It is
dated, Staunton, July 24, aud addressed to his
mother, lie was with the companies that were
cut off, and retreated across the mountains.
The sufferings of these companies cannot be
discredited by any one ; but Mr. Dudley’s im
pressive portrayal will be eagerly read.
At the battle atCarrick’s Ford, he says :
“The left wing of our regiment w a placed
in ambush, and waited for the enemy; but be
fore they came in range of our guns, a Virgin
ia regiment opened fire on them, but soon fell
back with the right wiug of cur rrgiment, and
received orders to retreat. We were on the op
posito side of the road from them, and did not
hear the order. So we stood our ground with
out moving until we were cut off from our
forces, and tbe enemy between us and them.—
As soon as this was ascertained, Major Thomp
son ordered us to retreat up the mountain. We
reached its summit, and there the officers held
a consultation. It was impossib’e to get with
the main army, and we concluded to retreat
across the mountains.
We commenced our march about ft o’clock
that evening, went about five miles and halted
for the night. We lay on the wet ground till
four next morning, when we resumed our
tramp across the mountains, wet and hungry.
We had not eaten anything then for one day
and two nights. We traveled all that day and
the next two over mountains, where we had to
cutourway through the'laurel busbea with
our knives.
The third day we came to a small mountain
• ream, which we descended for several mile#.
Finding an opening in the rocks through which
we could pass, we left the stream and took to
tbe mountains again—intending to take a
straight South-easterly course until we could
find a road, or something to eat We had not
advanced far before the cry oame up from our
rear, M A guide! a guide I come back! come
back!”
No tongue can tell or words express my feel
ings at that time. I feel assured that I could
not have gone ten miles farther. The guide
lived near where we fought the firet battle ton
Cheat river,) and was named Parsons. He
conducted us about six miles down the stream
we had just left, to a small valley, where we
remained till he went to his house, abou five
miles off, to get something for us to eet. We
built up large log fires, went to sleep and slept
till next morning. Tbe guide returned about
0 o’clock with three beeves, several bushels of
meal, and some breed. Wc soon butchered
the beeves aud served them out to meases of
ten men each. You may be sure we soon had
ash cakes and broiled beef. We staid till we
cooked up what meat and bread we did not
eat, put it into our provision sacks and carried
it with us.
We left the camp about II o’clock, and de
tcended the stream tor about four miles, and
came to where it emptied into Cheat River,
some two or three miles from our battle
ground. We ascended the river a few hun
dred yards and forded it. We then came to a
small horse trail, which we traveled for about
thirty miles over the mountains. The second
day after, we came into Seneca Valley. We
kept up the valley till we came to a road that
led into the main road to this place.
We arrived in Monterey last Saturday even
ing late, and encamped there till about 12
o’clock Sunday, when we left and carue to Mc
Dowell, a little town twelve miles nearer
Staunton, where the regiment is uow encamp
ed to recruit.
Owing to the bad condition of Frank Far
rar’s feat, he had to atop to rest a few days in
Seneca Valley. He stopped with and old far
mer. I have rot heard from him, but I know
he is faring sumptuously, lor the farmers in
the valleys live high. I think it very proba
ble he is in Monterey or McDowell at this
time. Tell them not to be uneasy about him.”
Since the foregoing letters were in hand, wo
have been furnished with the following letter
from W. F. Farrar, a member of the Gate-City
Guards, to his father, which gives additional
interesting details of the sufferings and hard-
ships of our brave men.
“McDowell, Highland Co., Vo., i
July 25th, 1861. i
“Dkak Fatheh : Before this, you have doubt
less heard of General Garnett’s defeat—retreat
rather—at Cheat River, on the 13th instant. The
1st Georgia Regiment, ns you arc aware, com
posed a part of his command. I was with the
left wing of my regiment, which part of the reg
iment was placed at the left of the forces facing
the enemy. As soon ns ths command to retreat
was given, our forces, together with the right
wing of the Georgia Regiment, Immediately
marched off, leaving the left wing of the Geor
gia Regiment on the held of battle alone. Only
six companies were now left upon the field to
contend against ten or twelve thousand Yan
kees.
There wc were, utterly cut off from the main
army. It was, indeed, n critical situation for
only n “ handful" of men. Luckily our position
was not discovered by the enemy’s scouts; al
though wc could plainly see them scouting with
in fifty or sixty yards of our lines. The especial
providence of God seemed to smile upon us.
Had our retreat been discovered by the ene
my, we would certainly have been cut to pieces.
As soon as we were apprised of the fact of our
being cut off, wc look to tlie mountain fastness
es for protection. It might be well to odd, be
fore narrating further, that we had been march
ing two days and nights without a mouthful ot
nourishment, before the moral, g of the battle.
This was during the retreat from Laurel Hill.
As I have previously said, worn out and al
most famished, we (the left wing) commenced a
steady (and as the sequel will show) an almost
fatal retreat over the mountains. We wandered
over the Cheat and Alcghuny Mountains for four
successive days, without a mouthful to eat, iu
trying to extricate ourselves from the mountains
and ravines!
Tills made 0 days that we traveled over rocks,
mountains and ravines; and, in fact, almost
every dcscrihaldc obstruction that nature could
place, before us.
Dining our entire march over these moun
tains, we met with nothing suited to the human
diet, in shape of meats or anything of the kind.
We were compelled to skin hark off of trees and
eat it. We also ate leaves, roots and the like.—
This was the first time that Htnrvation it a ml me
in the face. On the morning of the fourth day,
1 sank down exhausted, nud apparently to my
own imagination, jxrUhing. I made up my mind
to remain there and :lic. Oh! God, what a
thought! I cannot describe to you my feelings
at this juncture. My system was so shattered
for want of food, that l really felt very little like
eating, but had a greater desire to sleep. I had
scarcely closed my eyes, until I heard a brother-
in-urins cry out, “pilot, pilot.” Nerved and
strengthened by this simple word, I quickly re
gained my feet and pressed onward to learn if,
in reality, there was truly a guide ahead. Never
before did such fearful doubts arise in my mind.
Was there surely a pilot t Were my informants
not practicing deception ? Why should they
deceive me, though? Such thoughts as these
revolved iu my mind. On reaching the head of
the column, I was told of the Joyful fact of there
being a guide procured. It is not within tlie
province of the human mind to conceive the ex
tent ot our joy and gratitude to the Almighty
for such a miraculous deliverance. I was now
a new being! My muscles never felt stronger.
I was surprised that such a change could be so
easily wrought upon me. Our pilot (a Mr. Par
sons) soon brought us near his house, (about A
miles distant front where he found us) where we
got something to cat. The pilot told us that
when he found us wc were going In a direction
that would have lead us over several large
mountains before reaching any settlements. Wc
owe our lives to him no doubt. Our greatest
trials were uow ended. Wc got Into the road,
and in four or five days march reached Monte
rey, where we found the remainder of the regi
ment awaiting our arrival. I was taken sick on
the road and had to put up at a house. I re
mained in bed a day or two, and so far recover
ed as to travel eight or ten miles a day. I arrived
at this place (which is 10 miles below Monterey)
yesterday. I feel tolerably well now, but ain a
little weak yet.
We will recruit at this place two or three
weeks before going into actual service again.—
Only one man of the Georgia regiment was kill
ed In the fight. Several Virginians were killed.-
Fifteen or twenty of the Georgians were taken
prisoners, but hare been discharged upon oath.
One ot tbo Gate-City Guards waa taken—Badger,
who starts for Atlanta this evening. General
Garnett woe killed, Col. Ramsay then took com
mand.
I have received only one letter from you since
being la Virginia. I am uneasy about Grand-pa.
I know you have written more than once. Write
to me Immediately. Give my love to Ma, Roll
and family. Your affectionate son,
W. F. FARRAR.

The solicitude about friends who were in tbe
great battle at Manassas Junction on the 21st
inst., will cause many in Georgia and Alaba
ma to burry to the place. For their benefit I
will state that if they go by the Virginia route
they should leave Montgomery by the moru-
ing train—leave Atlanta by the 7 P. M. train
