THE MARIETTA SEMI-WEEKLY ADVOCATE
LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
7TII GEORGIA REGIMENT.
Camp Near Fairfax Court House, Va. }
Advanc Guard, 2n ! ~ Brig, h
2nd., Corps Sept. 25, 1861. )
Mon. Cap:— On the 11th we left the
corrugated locale of our Mountain Camp
(Bartow) in Prince William, crossed the
hitherto 'obscute, but now Historic wa
ters of the “Bull Run ;” and after a
pleasant march of JO miles, pitched our
Canvass City in tl.ieiadjoining County of
Fairfax. We were allowed but a short
respite however, for, scarce had we be
come familial with the place, in a res
ting point of view, when we were
marched on to a site 1| miles from Fair
fax Court House.
Fairfax Town or Village is a strag
gling sort of County Seat, containing a ,
good many suburban retreats however,
that compensate for the half tumble
down appearance of the Town, proper.
Its streets arc filled from morning to
dewy eve, with groups of Soldiers from
all the Confederate States, strolling thro’
the streets from the numerous Camps
in the vicinity ; the prim dapper City
Soldier, assimilating strangely with the
rougher bearing, ami wilder garbed
frontier or backwoodsman • smoking,
lounging about the half filled Stores, as
only Soldiers wearied with camp mo
notony can lounge ; hob-a-nobbing at.
the corners ; and gossiping on probable
movements ; some asserting with inys.
tcriuus winks, their suspicions of “sharp
work soon ;” or relating to an open
mouthed audience, their miraculous
“hair breadth scapes” on advance duty,
or in general action. Splendid thor
ough breds dashing every instant by,
bestrode by equally as dashing cava
liers,’sporting their full complement of
Jack-boot, Tunic, and Feather ; and I
doubt very much w’hether either the Paia
dins of Charlemagne ; the Chivalric
Knights in the court of Ferdinand and
Isabella ; or even those doughty war
riors of “Ze moyen age,” whose deeds old
Froissart loved to chronicle so well,
could outvie our Hotspurs for gentility
of bearing, or elegance of carriage,
possessing as we do in them the most
incomparable horsemen.
There are two Hotels in Fairfax, will
ing to invest for the benefit of the inner
man. I patronised one named “Hnbbels,”
the Booniface of which gave me an “in
fernal dinner” for a “Half This per
son seems to have roused the ire of both
“Yank” and “Secesh” armies ; his re
ception room hall is coveted with in
scriptions, consigning him to the safe
keeping of a certain “unmentionable
gentlem. i>” you wot of, in the Chiro
graphic “list”of sundry and divers hun
gry and evidently enraged Sovereigns
Militant ; representing every degree of
latitude from Penobscot Maine to the
Rio Grande.
The other is a more easy “mine Host
of the Garter” sort of fellow ; who has
a professional propensity to keep con
tinually a jingling of his “Change”
while he animadveits with you,—
would like to swop horses with
you, providing an “honest penny” could
be turned that way. Shall try him next
time. They say if he is prepossessed
with a fellow he will occasionally throw
in an “appetizer” that is when the hu
mous flow, nous verrons by St. lago :
though for good fire in Virginia give
me the cuisine ami hospitable well
spread table of some private mansion.
But ap| ropos of “advance duty” we
have ourselves but now returned to
('amp from a four day picket service.
Ou the 19th we were detailed to re
port for that duty to Brig (Jen. Long
street at Falls Church ; our post Ma
son's Hill ; some four milts from Alex
andria, and seven from W ashington.—
Our route was along the highway lead
ing from Fairfax, to Washington and
Alexandria ; celebrated both as the old
Braddock road along which he marched
in 177 d ; ami as the path by which the
Gram! Army of Lincoln A Co., made
their famous retrograde movement.
Our march of 11 miles was up and
down the undulating slopes of Ohl Fair
fax ; through a country replete with as
sociations connected with the early his
t >ry <>t the Old Dominion ; but all con
nected with it from the past, pales into
; ii.significance in Comparison with this
, tearful ami momentous struggle, amidst
i i s recent pastoral ami qui?t scenes
unhZcZ Zouks u/i tci/Zr lips apart ; and
as the greater fight al s its the less, the
i slumbering fires of Revolution, in Italy, I
Hungary and Poland ; the internicine 1
< contentions of Mexico ; all seem par
alysed at the tremendous spectacle.—
. As we ascended our last slept- of rqa 1,
the spire vs an Alexandrian Church told
us first vs our c’ose proximity to the 1
enemy, and the end of our journey. At
the top of the eminence we halted in
front of some breastworks in course of
formation ; the Soldiers at work as we
passed them—humorously came to a
“present arms” with pickaxe shovel, Ac,
suggesting too palpably that our career
* . If* .. '■cj .’ A
in that stage of L h of war w ; as sou 11
to comnienCih At last we' found our
selves fairly esepnsed on “Mason ! » Hill”
itself •
The straining gaze’of our men sought
in vain'o’er the - wide extended prospect
for somethiiKj—they. could not as yet
find. True, before us, across the valley
at our feet and on the ridge beyond, the
frowning Ramparts and abattis of Forts
EllSworth and Anderson met the eye :
Shorters Hill was there whitened with
a cloud of tents and marquees. True,
the flaunting ’folds of the Bars and
Stripes floated gaily over their ertibras
ured carthwork, througlqwluch the “hol
low-ware” intended for our especial
benefit grinned grimly ; while through
the interval of fort crowned ridges,
glimpses of the Potomac could be seen,
studded with the sails of Sloops and
Schooner and occasionally the dark hull
of a Steamer with its attendant smoke ;
but neither Alexandria sp’r s, nor Flag
surmounted Fort : the white sails of the
placid Potomac, nor even the peering
pickets of the foe in the valley beneath
us, could rivet the attention of our men.
Like an expectant party, waiting for a
distinguished guest ; objects otherwise
very excellent, lost lheir value in ab
sorbing anticipation ; and a feeling be
gan to manifest itself bordering on dis
appointment.
We relieved our old companions in
arms, the Bth dismissed ; with the ea
gerness of- school boys we rushed to a
position, where the obnoxious foliage
could not shut out the prospect. A
friend of the Grays who knew the Lions,
led the way. Turning a clump of Cen
tenarian Chesnuts and Oaks that masked
the scene, Voila! The Capitol ! Wash
ington burst from every lip.
Aye, there it was, sure enough Ris
ing proudly, gracefully, above the Sea
of apparently interminable woods/ she
stood ; a Cluster o! Pearls, in a setting
us Lapis-laz.uli. Ihe sornuwhut declin
ing sun, liberal as if for the decision '■
with his refulgent ray, brought out the i
Cupola, and columns in clear relief
against the blue hills of Marylandjtliat
retreated away in the far distance. —
With the aid of a glass, persons were
distinctly visible on the outside of the i
dome looking over the Ballustrade.— '
Ladies could be seen scanning ns with :
evident intense interest from prominent
positions in the city ; and I assure yon
the feeling was in that respect, mutual ;
for never s'nee the glittering Minarets :
of Jemsalem burst on the gaze of the ,
Mail clad Knights of Tancred, could
scarcely such a sensalion have been
produced as on our men their first sight
of the “City of magnificent distances.”
Masons Hill is the property of Capt.
Mason a brother of Senator Masoil ; and
a fine specimen of a class of Naval
Commanders fast passing away. Hear
ty, hospitable, and zealous for ourcajise;
it is to such as he, the Country owes,
the respect with which our Naval ser
vice is recognised over the world. Ills
mansion is in the entrenchments, in fact
it is head quarters for that portion of
the advance guard there located. —
He has planted in front of the house
two weeping willows orginally cut
tings bought by him Hom the tomb ot
the Emperor Napoleon at St Helena. —
I should like to have sent some cuttings
to Marietta. (’apt. White said he
would do his best to procure some him
self, to send home as mementos ; but in
the hurry of leaving to join our Regi
ment, (our company being leit on p >st)
and make a night march to carup they j
were forgotten. Our turn for picket
duty at 2, P. M. We marched secretly !

woods in which a mighty Ajfirf Eiiglit
hide, stretched the human chain. No ;

nign restorer of exhausted nature tea?
murdered, it was then.
1 he Jaik and lengthening shadow of,
evening, and the lurid ami gathering j
appearaue-- of the clouds Letokencd a '
most foul night, as the sequel proved
The large accumulated ia:n drops.driveu
by the gusts of Heaven, penetrated the :
arborescent shelter under which we
watched anxiously, he gradual m:ng-;
ling of the twilight into obscurity : the
knarled trunks, began • assume weird
ami fan'astic shapes which required
very little st etch ot the imagination
t - metam rphose into skulking Repub
licans, taking advantage of the storm
to pass our lines or surprise us. Our
friends above us Messrs. Emmet Shaw,
Dr. Wilson, Ben Curry; Scott Brown,
Win. M Delk, &c., fell naturally info a
dilemma of this sort. The moon strug
gling through her veil of clouds would
anon render objects partially distinct ;
on <no of these occasions a group of
sumac bushes became mysteriously agi
tated, like the gigantic Helment plumes
in the .“Castle of Otranto.” To convert
the clustering berries and blueish-gray
under-leaves Os the Sumac, turned up
with the wind, into an attacking party
of scarlet-capped and light-blue-coated
Zouaves advancing at double quick, to
avenge Ellsworth and Manassas, was
but the work of a moment. But let it
not be toll! in Gath, that our friends
and companions in arms proved recre
ant on this ihomentous occasion. To
the contrary, they bravely charged the
midnight foe who evidently retreated,
for they were there certain, or some
thing at least very like them.
Our post of four, comprised Messrs.
Swann, Brewer, lleggie and myself, our
next Dost Messrs. Hodge, Barmore, and
t<> the left. The f-lingo fretted wi h
the fitful wind, drowned all sounds ex
cept the crack of an occasional rifle or
musket fired along the line ; the rain
paltering through the leaves, and heard
in the interval between the reverbera
ting s orm-blasts, sounded precisely
like the clattering hoofs of a squadron
of Horse ; and so clearly was the re
semblance that at one time I started up
exclaiming “Dave, Dave, by tne “Lord
Harry” I believe they are cutting us off;
don’t you hear their horses hoofs among
the rucks ? ’ So much for the imagina
tion ; but our position was one of trust
and danger, little over fifty yards
from their line at some points. We
could hear very plain the roll of their
drum in the camp above, and it behoov
ed us to be on the qui vine.
Our pickets get roasting-ears from
one side and they from the other, of a
not very large corn field. They are
very willing to talk with you under a
flag of truce, and some of the Confed
erates have gone so far as to swap
knives, cameens of water for whisky,
coins, Ac Capt. White, 'Dr. Alexander
and several others bad quite a talk with
them, bm now it is forbidden ; though
their men seem quite eager to make
friends, and possess sc me relic of us ;
ami they mortally dread picket skir
mishing, as they have lost a good
many men by it, though they sometimes
kill some of ours.
At last, after a long, long night, (for
like Jessica we were often fooled by
the inconstant moon) we recognized the
genuine approach of morn. Wet, cold,
w a ied by the night vigil, I took a
nap on the wet ground which refreshed
me much, though but for an hour.
Newton lieggie though young, and
somewhat feeble from recent sickness,
stood it well for a longtime ; at long h
1 told him to sleep and Dave and 1
would watch ; and soon his heavy
bieathing and half muttered words told
me his leeting soul was away elsewhere
than under the rifled cannon of Forts
Anderson and Elisvvorth.
At 3, B. M., we were relieved by a
Regiment of Tennessee Riflemen ; and
had to march to camp, 11 miles that
night onr Regiment being already gone.
By the bye we saw two ascen-ions of
the arealite I’rofl. Love, from the heights
this side of Georgetown. It was a
monster balloon, and created no little
excitement among the troops. I here
were two visible in the car attached to
the inflated monster. The 'A ashington
Artillery fired at him the other day,
and cut some of his rigging ; since
which time, he has kept at a more res
p< ct ful distance.
Mr. Hughey is very sick, but recov
cl ing. Lieut. Irwin is somewhat recov
ering ; and the health of the Company
in general is better than it has beei.,
though out of 89 men and Officeis we
have only 50 present for duly.
We are ordered to be ready to move
at a moments notice, and I think we
will make a retrograde movement but
of this anon. Yours truly,
F. W. Cooke,
Co. I 7th Reg., Gu., Vol.
FOREIGN OPINIONS.
It is a commendable qualify of human
nature to desire the respect and appre
ciation of mankind. It is this quality
which frequently proinp s individuals
to the commission of honorable and even
heroic deeds. It is a quality which,
when res r lined bylproper motives, and
reasonable deman s, is proinotive: of
good results to individuals, as well as
to communities. And if it is commend
able in individuals, it surely must be
equally so, in the case of Slates, G( v—
einmonts, and Nations. A nation by
its integrity, by its consistency, and !
by its dignity gains the respect, the
eonfifieucc an 1 eve i ihe admiration
ot its cutemporary nations.
It is thu-*, that 'he Government of the
Confederate States had already made a 1
name and character for itself abroad.
Tin; colums of foreign journals contain I
best evidence of this fact. While they
hesitate not to reproach 'he Lincoln I
Government, for its dishonesty, its ’
treachery to freedom, and its wicked ■
s hen e of subjugating a free and ;n
--dependent people—these journals give
to onr Government that praise which it
so justly deserves.
I lie (lignified and honorable position 1
which it has maintained from the first— i
the statesmanship .nd ability which I
it his displayed in all of its acts—'he
human ty which it has exhibited in war
—are all in striking contrast with the
course and policy of the Northern Gov
ernment —and are not lost upon the
Governments of the old world. A con
tinuatice of this policy, combined with
other causes, will serve to procure, not
only the recognition of our Confederacy
at the proper time, but also such a po<
sition among the nations of the earth as
will be a just cause of satisfaction to
evCry patriot in the South;
In the hands of the statesmen who
have conducted the country to its pres
ent proud position we should be willing
to trust still further its destinies —un-
til it shall be entirely clear of the b”C'ik
ers that now surround it—and be ena
bled to occupy its proper position
among the nations of the earth.-Con
stitutionalist.
THE CAPTURE U. S, STEAM.
ER FANSY.
Through the courtesy of cur friend
Schnicder, of the Jackson street Saloon
we are permitted to publish the follow
ing letter from a member of the Third
Georgia Regiment, relative to the tak
ing of the U. S. Steamer Fanny, on the
coa-t of Carolina:
Roanoke Island, N. (J., )
Oct. 2, 1861. j
Mr. E R. Schneider
Dear sir: ***** Yester
day morning Col. Wright received in
formation of a Yankee steamer being
in Pamlico Sound, about twenty-five
miles from our camp. lie immediately
started off on board of the steamers Jtiv
analuaka, Raleigh, and Curlew, with
three companies, viz: the Dawson
Greys, Governors Guard, and Athens
Guards they being the best armed
companies of the regiment, ami having
Enfield muskets; they returned this
morning with the steamer Fanny, thir
ty five prisoners, and a large supply of
army stores, as trophies.
We all expect to go off this morning
upon an expedition to Chickamacomick,
where the Yankees have an Illinois re
giment stationed, and see what all of
us can do. If we can fight half as well
as the men work, no doubt but what we
will succeed. Indeed, yesterday’s
work shows what the Third Regiment
will do when called upon to act.
I forgot to say that none of our num
were hurt the Funny surrendering af
ter receiving some 12 or 15 shots.

IMPORTANT MOVEMENTS IN KEN-
TUCKY.
A gentleman arrived in the city to
day from Eastern Kentucky byway of
Bowling Green reports that Camp
Dick Robinson was evacuated with the
exception ot the sick on Sunday the
22d ult. A portion ol the force went to
Lexington and Frankfort to guard those
places; and the remainder about four
thousand strong marched to a point cal
led I ig Hill about six-y miles nearer
the Tennessee line. The olject is to
fortify this hill wi h the view cf pre
venting Gen. Zollicoll’er’s march into
the interior of Kentucky. Our infor
mant says the position is a very strong
one and susceptible of being made a
very formidable obstruction to Zullicof
fer’s progress.
Gen. Zollicoffer has not as reported
by the Louisville Journal advanced to
Manchester m Clay county. He was
fortifying Cumberland Ford w'th a view
of making that a strong point before he
advanced.
From Bowling Green we learn that
onr troops have not advanced beyond
Green river. They are busily engaged
in throwing up fortifications at the lat
ter poinDon both sides of the river. That
beyond the river is nearer the town of
Munfordville.
The Federals are fortifying Eliza
bethtown, where they have about seven
thousand troops and eight pieces of
cannon. They have a small force at
Muldrough’s hill. I pto within a few
days, they were receiving considerable
accessions to their force, but within a
few (lavs their increase has been very
small, showing that Kentuckians arc
not responding to the call of Gene al
(Sunuer) Anderson.
There are about fifteen hundred re
fuges encamped in the vicinity of Green
river, and one thousand at Bowling
Green, embracing men of every age and
condition in ife ; These men have been
Compelled to flee to save their lives,
or to escape an imprisonment little less
intolerable than death itself. 'I hey rep
resent that a perfect reign of terror ex
ists wherever the minions of Lincoln
are in the majority or have the power
through the intervention ui troops sent
to overawe them.
So far we have heard of no ladies be
ing arrested, but we know of ladies
who have been compelled to flee the
State in order to prevent arrest The
mother and sister of a Kentucky gentle
man, in high authority in Southern ar
my, now in Kentucky, are now refuges
in this city having arrived here a day
or two since, and the} escaped a posse
sent by Gon. Anderson, it is presumed
to arres’ them, by only a few hours.—
she petty tool of a petty tyrant cannot
stop with, arresting brave and pa
triotic men, but be must needs j
arrest and imprison defenceless, wo
men if he can, because their sons ;
and brothers, and husbands dare to be j
freemen.
Who is the Count DkFahis? —A cor
respondent of the ( harleston “Courier”
gives the following account of this in
dividual; vho recently volun eerud in
the Lincoln army ami received an up*
puintment on McClellan’s staff:
The Count de Paris is the son of the I
late Duke of Orleans, wh > was the old- j
est son of King Louis Philip? of France;
He is the Orleanist heir to the French
throne, and if his grandfather had not
set Lincoln the example of stifling the
freedom of the press, the young man
might have reigned as Francis 111.
He now serves as a Captain in the rail
splitter’s army. I sincerely hope that
one of our sharpshooters will pick off
this young sprig of royalty. Should
he ami his companion be made to bite
the dust the Bonaparte who reigns in
the ancient palaces of the Bourbons will
smite grimly on our new Republic.
“Greenbrier River, Oct. 3.—Ti c ene
my attacked us at 8 o’clock this morn
ing in considerable force, estimated at
five thousand, and with six pieces of ar
tillery, of longer range than any we
have. After a hot fire of four and a hal
hours, and heavy attempts to chartref
our lines, he was repulsed, evidently
with considerable loss. We had no
cavalry to pursue him on his retreat.—
The loss on our side has been inconsid
erable. A fuller report will be given
through the regular channels. For sev
eral days my correspondence with Gen.
Loring has been interrupted.
“The enemy’s force was much supe
rior to ours, but we had the advantage
of position.”
We have intelligence from (7en. Lee’s
command at Big Sewell Mountain, as
late as Friday last. The Feder tls
had, up to that time, made no at
tack upon the position, though the
pickets continued to fire upon each oth
er whenever they got a chance. No
one had been killed on our side since
(101. Spalding lost bis life. Dispatches
from the Federal army reported that in
consequece of a freshet in Gauley river
the troops had been placed on half ras
tions. This, however, was not deemed
a permanent cause of embarrassment,
a<i waters have doubtlest eecedcd ere
the present lime.
Passengers from Fairfax yesterday
report all quiet ( n the Potomac. We
received information on Saturday, that
our pickets on the Old Pohick road
were driven in last Friday night, and
two of the Black Horse Cavalry were
missing Whether th y were killed or
captured could not be ascertained.
1* com North Carolina we have the
cheering intelligence of the capture of
the Federal steamer Fanny, with 47
prisoners, and an abundance of over
coats, blankets and useful stores and
munitions. The value of prize and car
go is set down at SIOO,OOO. This news
is confirmed by information received at
the War Department.
From the Intelligencer.
Messrs. Gaui.ding and Whitaker :
1 never was the friend of (’«».
Gartrcll ; 1 never voted for him. But,
if his name continues before the voters
of the Eight Congressional District ol
this Stale, 1 shall vote for him ; and
whether he can hold two offices at one
time or not,it should make no difference
with any of those whi.se friends, or re
latives are under his command, know
ing how nobly hi* had sustained himself
in the Battle of Alan issas, and how hu
manely he treated soldiers under his
command on their march from Harper’s
Ferry to Winches er; and when his men
were fainting" with heat and fatigue, by
putting such on his horse and himself
taking the march on foot, until another
soldier, being overtaken fainting by the
way-side, was put upon his horse after
the other had been rested. Why should
not such a man be honored with the
vote of this District.
