SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. j'Outhfni (T anfedrracg CJKO W. ADAIR J. HKNLY 8M1TU, RD1TUM AIR mOPRItTOM. 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,- 350; Georgia, $870,551 ; Alabama, $700,820; Mississippi, $019,027 ; Louisiana, $578,803; Tennessee, $1,004,247 ; Arkansas, $302,829; Florida, $110,284; Texas, $532,100.

[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.
