Dkak ConttKti s—In Virginia at Inst 5
Our long cherished dosires uro now
gratified, nml, oh our foot-steps tread
Iter; sacred soil, we fool more deeply
imbued with that patriotic spirit, which
lms over stimulated her children to
sland up for the onus© of right and
libel ly, ami wo hopo ore long to have
the opportunity of driving buck tho
ruthless invader from hot* borders.
Tlio Artillery Battalion, to which
wo aro uttuelicd, left Camp McDonald
on Wcdcsdny, 7tli Inst., under charge
of Col. Stovall, and reached hero lust
.Sunday morning, having boon detain*
ed nt several points on the route. Tho
‘•Stars and liars” wero flying on every
Imiul, and wo wero agreeably surprised
at the demonstrations of loyalty dis
played in East Tonucssco. At Kuox-
viile not an avowed Unionist could ho
scon. Parson Brownlow’s paper lmd
been suspended, and himself non cst for
Bomo weeks. Every evidence of enthu
siasm and devotion to the .Southern
cause, wero exhibited ulong tho ontiro
route.
We arc encamped in a beautiful
grove on an elevated ridge about two
miles from the' City, commanding a
line view of the surrounding country,
tho “Poaks of Ottar,” Ao, Excellent
spring water, sufliciunt rations and gen
eral good health, makes tlio boys com-
fortablu and contented. Wo strivo to
improve in cflicicncy and drill; and
our dress parades attract scores of vis
itors from the city.
Our Captain has just returned from
Richmond, having secured evory arti
cle necessary to constitute us a first
class mounted Artillery Company. Wc
to hove a rilled cannon in addition
>»r present complement, making
a Imltery of four pieces, which is ro-
comtnended by tlio authorities in
Richmond ns being tlio most efficient
number for service. Wo have also
secured forty horses, seventy-five Colt’s
latest pattern Navy pistols, sabres,
caisnti*, Ae.
Lynchburg evidently has been long
settled; the city, proper, is built on a
bluff opposite tlio James River, and
contains a impiilalution of about fifteen
thousand inhabitants. It is a great
tobacco market, nud tlio factories of
tho staple are well worth a visit. Tlio
streets seem dingy, the side-walks nar
row, and but few of tlio storos cun vie
in beauty, or convenience with.thcso of
our little Mountain City. Tho ladies
have been tlio redemption of Lynch
burg in our estimation ; their frequent
acts of hospitality, and an occasional bo-
quut bestowed in return for courtesy
shown them, inspire tho hoys with
the highest admiration for tlio fair
Virginia lasses.
Wo will probably bo encamped here
for ten or twelve days, after which,
unless a. sudden emergency calls us
elsewhere, we may bo stationed at
Richmond. Cf course, this is mere
conjecture, as all future movements of
(lie forces in Virginia are only known
to the Government.
All well, except Miyor Blount, who
has been suffering IVom a fever, but
is now convalescent. We miss l.)r. Bat-
toy, who lias been appointed Surgeon
<»f the lUtii (lute 2d) Regiment. Our
Colonel proves himself an efficient
officer, and is well liked by ail. Capt.
Wiser takes pride in the Cherokee Ar
tillor.v, mid will do hi* utmost to make
us a company which will liouor old
Fl.*yd county. Gur worthy Quartcr-
ustcr, Mr. Frank .lone*, and Sergcuut
tsear G., do their utmost to secure
ery necessary comfort. Iko ltuino
is gotting. more cnrpulant e.'cry day
and Repps cairies our colors most
gracefltUy at drosspnmdo. Bob Holt’s
manly figure still heads tho right of
i* company, which, gradually tapers
to tho left, ending in tlio petit per
son of our “tocitarn Corporal.” Wlior
ton’s boa mot* still refresh us, while our
worthy Orderly over* hoops us in good
humor, as well as drill.
.Should wo change our location, or
anything occur worthy thoattcuUmof

Instead of being killed, there should

to wear cotton during tlio winter, and
though wc are all great believers in

Sheep raising can lie made very
profitable, as it costs but a trifio to keep

Drar Cur hi r.it j As evory thing hi tho
way of nows, incidents, accidents, Ac.,
pertaining to tho great battle of tho21st,
is eagerly sought for by ail who have
relatives or friends in the Confedorito
Army, and ns this includes Hourly ovary
family in the country, the writer of this
is so presumptions ns to undertake “a
({etcryifioil of one's Mings in the battle of
}fitnnssas-—U bring hi* Jirst experience.
Though n't ditlbrciit tunes nnd places
our Regiment hud been, some six or
eight times, drawn up in lino of battle,
and wo bad gone through nil the littlo
ho irt sinkings, trepidations and fearful
apprehensions, which most men expe
rience* upon tho ovc of entering tho
life and death contest, yet, when we
knao that a groat hattlo was about to bo
commenced, yet there was such a deep
and thrilling earnestness in thocannon’s
first booming, us couvir.cod us of tlio
eertniuty cf the fearful work aliout to
lie done, and u deep seated apprehen
sion of danger—though not generally
shown by palid cheeks or trembling
limbs—^was experienced. Tho certain
ty of danger beenmo still nioro appa
rent, whan coming near the range of
one of tlie enemy's batteries, we heard
tlio wluxzing cf tlio dontli dealing mis
siles, as tlioy passed with a horrid signifi
cance of what wo might expect Troiii
better aim.
Tho “jwiitip and circumstance of glo-
Wou* wiil’,” MUihlonlf dwindled doivn
to the severest kind of plain, common
sense, and it very soon Iccnmo appa
rent, that common senso rules must bo
tiio basis of all discreet notions. At the
first sight of tho enemy,all tho bugbear
delusions that may liavo existod in tho
fancy of any ono, as to their appear
ance, wero suddenly dispcllod,and they
looked at tho distance of tlireq hundred
or four hundred yards, precisely like so
ninny of our nfen.
(Juito different from all my fancies of
great battles, tlds was not fought in a
broad open field, where the two grand
armies could be dnuru up hi long, ut»
hiokcn liues, and approach eacii other
in heavy columns. There is no con
siderable extent of right level ground
on this memcruido field, but is com
pletely broken With hills und dales,
meandering branches and protecting
groves. And in extent, the hot tost part
of the buitlo field was about ono miles
by three quarters in-whltli. Cn such u
field, of course, tho awful grandeur of
nppuurnuco of the approaching armies
lost. Then when the firing com-
moncyd, that wonderful, indefinite nnd
superhuman grandeur of movements*
that my imagination had .puintixl, all
faded out, and in its place I had an
ugly, dusty, fatiguing nnd laborious
realization of tlio actual in battle. I ex
perienced most fear when tlio first can
non ball passed over, witli a tremen
dous wbizxlng, about twenty yards oft’;
nnd felt the most dread approlionsioii,
when ordered immediately after, to
take a position un a little emiuonco, in
fearful proximity to tlio place the ball
had just passed. After our Rogimont
had niovi d forward some 200 cr 300
yards, wo again uuuio both inrnngoand
iiglyt of Sherman’s rclchmtod Battery,
about tlirco-fourtlis of a mile from us.
Their shell und buH* came fearfully
', and as one passed through an ap
ple tree just ovor my bend, a cold chill
ran over me, and I suffered' from ago
nizing fear, for prolably, throe or four
seconds, but after tills, during tho on-
tiro battle, though I was in almost con
stant expectation of being killed, yot
them was no painful realization of Tear,
such ns would uiakoono hesitate to go
wherever duty culled, or prevented a
full und free exorcise of nil tlio facul
ties of body, and miud, As tliodang&rs
really increased, und friends wore seen
falling thick u|tou oitheir side, tho ap
prehension, or rather the tear, of them bo*
came strangely less, nud without feeling
scouro them was a sort of forced resig
nation to calmly ahido whatever conse
quences should como.
At no lime did 1 experience any feel
ing of auger, or discover any exhibi.
lion of it in others. A stern determi
nation ami inflexible purpose, was tho
predominant expressiouof countenance
of all, so far as niy observation extend
ed, and any sudden exhibition of pas
sion would linvc seemed ridiculous.
One of tho most romniknblo mental
phonomoua, was the sudden and strange
drying up of sympathetic fcelir.g for
tlio sutluriug uf tlio wounded and dy

Tho following instructions were sent
out by a friend of ours who is organ
izing a Regiment, to tlio Captains or tho
companies that com|«ose it, and wo
publish them for tho Inmefit of othors:
Each Captain will give the Railroad*,

will furnish duplicate blanks, in which
tlio Captain will certify that ho has
Unit day, transported from—- -to
— , a certain number or moil, or-
dorod into tho scrvico of tho Confeder
ate States.
Each company will do well to como
provided with eight or ten day’s ra
tions, in caso tho Quartermaster should
be delayed in making contracts.
Every man should bring with him,
or liavo sent to him, in tho course of
two weeks, a gcod IVock coat of some
groy or dark stuff, nnd pantaloons cf
tlio same. The buttons should, if
possihlo, bo metal, and if thoro Is
any trimming, it should bo bluo for tlio
men and gold for officers, but plain ness
is desirable. Each man should liavo
two or throe colored shirts, (flannel is
tho best,) good stout shoes, nnd com
mon blankets, which aro doubled in
valuo by being linod with cotton cloth.
Eaoli mail should liavo, if possiblo, a
largo pieco of oil cloth, to koep his
blankal oft* of wot ground, mid to*eov-
or tlie head and shoulders, when on
punrd duty ill tho cold and rain.—
Tlio haversack, is simply a double

a good cork, and- leather strap*. Tho
Government only pays two dollar*
and a-hiilf for knapsacks, nnd-eleven
dollars and a-hiilf for soldiers’ tents.
Those who want a finer urticlo will
have to pay tlio difturenco. Changes
of drawers mid pmituloons, and good
woolen socks aro desirable. Any hind
of pantaloons will do for fatigue.
Tlio Confudaruto States permits the
Bowio Knife to bo worn, but it should
lio well made, and witli sharp blade
of ul)out ten inches iu length—.ill who
can should havo them.
All compauics should loavo tliclr
moasures with tailors and shoo-mukois,
to have clothes mid shoes made nml
sunt to thorn tills winter, as they may
not be able to get them in uamp.
The Government will pay for them.
AR compauics who do not take one
hundred and Tout teen inon into camp,
aro required p loavo a reliable recruit
ing qfHoor liuhind, to fill tho ranks
up to that \iumber, mid companies

and bo expected,, without questioning
or murmuring, to trust their destinies
to tho great man, whom the South lias
