Onr Nnvttnnnh Correspondence*
Camp Lawton, near Savannah, Ga.,
November 12th, 1801.
Dear Courier t There are some facts
connected with our departure to Hilton
llend Island, that are worthy of notice,
The night wo first started H. W. Berry-
hill, II. C. Smith, G. W. Frocman and
W. II. Mitchell, had get furloughs to
go home, and wero gotting ready to
*t«t t, wh ;n orders catno at 8 o'clock,
for us to be at tlio Charleston Wharf at
9. Ucrryhill and Smith abandoned the
idea of going home, and at once in
formed Iheiy Captain that they would
go With him. B. had just recovered
from a spell of sickness, uni was not
able to do duty. Smith had been sick
in his tent for two days. The Captain
objected to tiieir going, but they beg
ged so hard that ho consented, and
they went to the boat with us, and
would liavo gone, if tho orders had not
been countermanded. Krccmuu was
not abli to go, having been sick for the
lust three weeks; so he And Mitchell
loft. Lieut, H. W. Dean, who ^as just
recovering from the measles and had
just catnointo the camps that day, got
ready logo with us but was ordered to
remain, ^llo insisted on going, but tho
compatiy'refused, and ordered him to
remain. Wo left, but.on reaching Ibe
boat, wo found him there, armed and
equipped. The next morning, when we
left again, tho Captain found it nocossa*
ry to detail one man to stay and take
care of tho sick. H.C. Smith was by
this time broken out with tholmeasles.
The Captain asked if thcro was any
one that would stay, and no one re
sponded. Ho then said, "I must make
some one stay.” All spoke and said
they wanted to go, and voted for Dean
or Berryhill to stay, but they refused,
’and go they would. K. Dollar was ttien
requested to stay, blit ho refused, ul'
though he had just recovered from a
hard spelt of sickness. Finally James
McGinnis was left.
Cameron went with us, and tho even
ing wo arrived thore, he said ho would
spend the next day in hunting oysters
for us, but when morning came lie saw
that a fight* was on hand, and went into
the Hospital, whore he could haven good
view of what was goiug on,, thinking,
of course, that ho was in a secure place;
but the fun had not lasted long before a
ball paused through the topof the house;
the second soon came along, and then
others in such rapid succession that ho
thought he had got into tho wrong pew,
and left in tUvbU quiet,. and dodged be
hind a pine stump, and would occasional
ly peep around, und could see the balls
fulling and hear them whizzing bye,
and presently he saw a bull strike a
tree and tear it to pieces. Tho thought
struck him, that tho slump was but little
protection, and double-quicked it a little
farther. This is his own story. In jus
tice to him 1 will say he stuck closer to
the Berry Infantry, all day, than it
could have been expected of him, ns
lie was not allowod to come near our
ranks, while in line of battle, os ho
held no position in tho Regimont as
yet, not having roceivod his commis
sion. Night came but Cameron had
found no oystors, at least he said noth
ing about thorn.
C’apt. Turner, jjeutt. Hooper and
Dean acted well their parts, perfectly
cool nil day; in fact there wax no fault
to be found of any, under all the cir
cumstances, The South Carolina troops
were the first to leave the field, half an
hour before tho rest. Stiles’ Regiment
next, ours were the last, and our com-
pany tho last of the Regiment, and
Sargoant W. H. H. Camp, the color
bearer, tho last man to leave.
Tho balls, grupe shot and shells full
ing and passing as thiok as hail, as the
fleet had ceased firing on the battery
and had all their guns were bearing on
is, said to bo about 500, and wo in half
q mile of the bcaoh. They continued
to firo at us.as long as we wero In reach
of them. I am aware that some will
think that this is a strango tale, never
theless it is true. Our military men
men say it was the most terrific bom
bardraent.qn record..
There was a continuous roar for fivo
and a lmlf hours. No ono could count
the foports, and at times could not dis
tinguish tho guns. Providence alone
protected us. Tito wonderful escape of
our soldiers on (hat occasion should bo
a sufficient evidence to all God’s people,
that he is. a prayers-hearing God and
will grant their requests when asked in
faith. Prayer is greater than stool and
iron, or iloots with all thoir guns, and
skill to man thorn. For tree*, houses,
and fonces to bo torn to peiccs, tho air
full of dust from balls striking tho
ground, and an array of men walking
along, ondcomparitlvoiy few hurt, looks
too. unreasonable to tell,butpmyor avail,
eth much. Bo wo are taught in tho
Book of Books and a fow of us have re
alized it, A very wicked young man,
who has pious parents, remarked to mo
tho evening of tho batllo, “I havo
often hoard Pa talk about Providence
protecting us, und nover could under
stand it, but I now aomprohond his
moaning, for if Profidonce did not pro.
toot us to-day, l amatalou to know
what did.” Tears came into his eyes
and he seemed deeply impressed.
On returning we found Lt. Col. Alex-
and Lt. J. E. Berry had art ived, and
wero preparing to join us
There is several distinguished mili
tary men here, among whom is Gov,
Brown, Tho troops havo boon moved
off all the Islands, and quito a number
stationed near hero, Gen. Lawton has
hed a large vossol sunk In Skull Creek,
and one anehored at the Oyster Bed,
ready to sink, as soon as tho nows
reachos the city that the enemy has
taken possession of the Island.
More than half tho citizens c.m-
(noticed paoking up their furniture and
goods, and having them drayed to the
several depots. Tho Mayor was soon
informed that n groat ninny men were
leaving also. Ho issued his Proclama
tion, forbidding nny tc leave under
45, and laid an Embargo on all goods
being shipped off, and in that way
kept some from deserting the city. He
let tho women and children go. The
enrs has beet, crowded for several days
going up tho country. Some of theso
ladies had said that they would nover
lonvo their homes, unless it was to
stand by the side of their husbands
lathers or brothers In rcpellng the foe,
and that they put their trust In God,
but as tho time drew for them to make
good their promises, they put their
trust in the Railroad cars.
Yours, Floyd.
Onr Artillery Correspondence*
Camp Advance, Oolusuoro, N. G.,
November 7th, 0 o'clock, A. M.
Dear Courier : General Leo, former
ly commanding our forces in North
Western Virginia, passed through this
pluce yosterday evening, on routo for
Port Royal, 8. C. Ho was tho bearer of
dispatches to his son. Col. G. W. C. Lee,
in command of tho forces here, order
ing us to repair immediately to Rich
mond. While I write, our canvas hab
itations are disappearing, one by one,
preparatory to leaving by this evening's
trains, and ere old “.Sol" sinks behind
the Western pino trees, the "Cump
Ground City" will bo a thing of tho
past.
Wo can only conjecture why wa are
ordered back to Richmond; tho most
plausible supposition is, that we may
be needed at some of the fortifications
which surround the city, or olso be sent
from thence to York town or Norfolk
Most of us rejoice at tlio prospect of
again boing "oft* for old Virginia;"
there is something ennobling 2ti the
thought that we are to meet tho enemy
on her sacred soil, to meet the invaders
of our young Confederacy at the very
thresh hold of her borders.
The Soldiers' Car arrived here last
Tuesday night, and right glad were the
boys, to recolve tho many favors sent
them by tho kind ones at home. Many
of us wero tho recipients of unexpect
ed favors, from unknown friends. We
all thank you most heartily for those
evidences of your regard and remem
brance,, and bog to tender our assuran-
i, that wo will do our best to dis
charge outjduty, towards achieving their
honor and independence.
We will ondeavor to post you regu.
larly of our movements. For the
present direct letters to Richmond.^
g$r~Yesterday was observed ns a day
of Fasting. Humiliation and Prayer,
very generally by our citizens. Busi
nas suspended, and the city lmd
quite the air and nppearanco of a quiet
Sabbath day,
jfcgrTho Savannah Republican of
the llthsays: Some of our up country
exchange* represent Savannah as in a
terrible condition and all business
suspended. Neitfior of theso are so
ns our visitors can testify. A gentle
man from the interior told us a few days
ago that the laok of excitement as
tounded him, and lie believed we were
doomed peoplo on account of Our
indifference. That, again, was a mis
take. Everybody feels an interest, and
wo are quietly, but eflcctlvely, prepar
ing for the enemy. When he arrives
wo will show to the world thr true ex
tent of our preparation.

ed at Franklin, N. C., says that salt is

Our Volunteers.
We commend tho following from the
Charleston Mercury, to tho people of
Georgia, at this time:
The Stato is invaded, and her i»eople
are gathering to her defence. All are
embarrassed for a living. T|io rich
planter, tho prosperous factor or mer
chant, fool tho stringency of the times,
as much as tho poor mechanic. With
tho Inability to sell produce, produce is
valueless. All, therefore, want tho
means of living, but the sternest ne
cessity is on those families who depend
on tlieii daily labor for support, in
ordinary times, their families could
oasily obtain tho moans of living, for
our communities have ever furnished
ample resources for labor, und havo
less paurporiam than any communities
in tho world. But now, when the rath
er goes to the defonco of the State, his
children may suffer. Let this be pro
vented. Let our good sninuritans
redouble thoir oxortions, not only as a
work of mercy, but of patriotism, in
seeing that tho wives und children of
the soldiers in our service shall not
want. Wo all have a common tide.—
Let us all havo also a common sympa
thy with each other; and, with the
blessings of God, tho stern trials which
aro now boforo us, will bring us forth, a
happier, freer and more united peo
ple.
Breaking the Blockade.—The Natch
ez Courier says that a private dispatch
has been received in that place front a
merchant in Now Orleans, t» the effect
that a French agent was in Now Or
leans buying Cotton, who stated that
blockade would certainly be raised in
loss than sixty days.
Gov. Brown's Inaugural Suit.—At
hiv inauguration, Uov. Lrown wa* dress
ed in a full suit of home-made cloth,
with a Georgia made hut and a pair of
boots. Il<- was of the opinion that it
was Ids duty to • luoumge, in tiiis pub-
lie manner, our home industry, and to
show our iiidej nee of Yankee
mniiufiictuivi>. - Fed,rJ L'„om.
JCfedrThe .Charles on Courier say/
some uf the uxtortio. er«, and ox pecu
lators, and kioii.ipolists, who have been
grinding the earnings of the people as
long as they believed this war would
not reaeli us in cjirnost, aro now pro
paring to depart under various pleas.

ig a strong Southern county. Anoth

ple.
Tho guard had one of Ids hands out

A gentleman just from East Tonnes-

prevails in consequcnso of this evident
ly preconcerted plun to destroy tho
Railroad bridges. Tho loss is heavy,
and much inronvcnienco nml dolny is
