Cam* or 8tu Qa. Regiment,
Centrkyilli, Va., Nor. 17th, 1881.
Diah Courisr t It is sometimes diffi
cult to know how to commence, and,
perhaps, still more so, to carry on a let*
tor, in an interesting manner. Now
that is just my fix. With only a mca*
ger supply of news items to communi
cate, that aro likely to prove entertain
ing, and neither timo, tasto nor dispo
sition to woave a "fanoy tale,” I have
sat with , paper spread out and pcna/ln
hand, full five minutes, (in the mean
time taking a oliew of that vllo wood,
that ought rather to be eschewed) and
still, “like a man to double business
bound, 1 stand in pause, whore first to
bogin, anti both neglect.” The truth is*
um not In a mood to write, to-night,
and «m just doing it from a sort of
sohso of necessity, which goes very
much against tlio “grain,” for, like Jack
Fallstufi', I hate to do any thing “on
compulsion.”
But without tunning round Robin
Hood's barn any more, I will plungo
in mediae rtsj” and so hero it goes for
tho first grand fact—interesting, mostly
to the recipients of a most acceptable
supply of clothing, shoes, eatables,
drinkables and tablo condiments, re
ceived by Car No. 2. Fact No. 1 is,
that the aforosaid Car No. 2 arrived
last Wednesday, and most of the boxes
were brought into camp on Friday. I
am suro Colonel—1 should say General
Stewart; but it is so hard to keep the
run of these military titles—and Mr.
Till Dofcler, never mot friends more
glad to seo thorn, than were tho Floyd
comity boys on this occasion. Tho box
es wore opened with great eagorness,
and the deep emotions of heartfelt
thanks and gratitudo, found silout ex
pression ip moistened eyes, in not a
few instances. ( Not that tho men were
actually suffering, to any considorablo
extent, for tho want of necessary doth
ing or other things, to make them com
fortable, hut because it is so sweet to
rcceivo tokens of affectionate remem
brance from those wo love, that the
heart speaks through its own legitimate
channel.
The soldiers from Floyd county havo
never suffered for chlhing, nor for’ food,
oxoept on a few forced marches, and
the same is true, so far as the writer's
knowledge extends, of the entire Con
federate Army. There has been some
grumbling against the Commissariat of
our army, but to a considerate man it
is perfectly surprising that it has been
so perfeot. The fact that our new Gov
eminent, without any preparation,
threw suddenly into the field two bun
drod thousand men or more, with hard
ly an experienced man to fill all the
officos in the Quarter Master’s and
Commissary’s Departments, ought to
be more than suffioieni reason for any
allowances, in their bohalf, that tne
facts require. In this division of tho
army, at least, the men have always
had an abundance of wholesome food,
and there lias been plenty of forago un
til recently, and oven now there is
great scarcity.
But before getting too tedious to be
readable it may be host to sprinkle in
another news item. Item No. 2.
yesterday the 16th inst., a company of
our cavalry—about fifty in number,
took thirty-two Hessian prisoners, five
wagons loaded with corn, and four
horse teams attached to each, beside
thirteen extra horses. It seems that
those Lincolnites were out foraging near
Falls church, when tho Cavalry came
up on thorn. Our men charged on
them, killing two or three, and they—
though arraod with their brag guns and
quite equal in number to our forco—
ran like freightoned hares. After tak
ing thirty-two of them prisoners, the
balance of them some twenty or thirty
more, had got so far off, that our men
would risk loosing tho horses and wag
ons if they pursued tho cowardly
scamps, and so they let them go. The
thirty-two brought into camp, among
them two or throe commissioned offi
cers, are mostly fine looking men,
splendidly dressed, and say they belong
to the 30th N. V. Reg. They are quite
chatty, and seem disposed to make
light of their imprisonment, joking
and talking freely. Ono of them said,
when they came in sight of our breast
works and fortifications, that ho lrnd a
d—d sight rather approaoh them with
his present osoort, than under tho com
mand of his own General. Ho no
doubt spoko the truth and showed
quite os much self-respect and patriot
ism, as most of theso hirelings seorn to
possess.
Tlfo principal “small talk” about
comp is concerning wintor quartors,
cold weathor, army movements, &c., &o.
As to winter quarters, no ono, not ovon
our Mqjor Generals, know uncondition
ally and with cortahuy, any thing at
all. Still every man has a right to
coi\jeolure, hope, talk and exorcise his
guessing faculties to an indefinite ox-
tent. As for tho cold there is no sort
of doubt about that, aud tho whole
army are unanimous in a sensible con
olusion. Tho cold has really been in-
tonso for the past three or four days,
with plenty of loo, and on Friday
morning it was discernable that tho far
off mountains had “clapt a white cap
on their mantles blue ” The soldiers
generally have only a moderate supply
of olothing to protect thorn from tho
winter’s cold; but most of thorn have
built in their teats a sort of rook nnd
turf stove with flues, so as, with good
wood, to make them quite pleasant,
when inside and thus protected from
tho North winds chilling blasts.
Almost '©very* day rumors oro rifo of
MoGlelland's advance, but so far they
liavo all proved false. Tho belief is
general hero, supported,by refugees
and desorters, that the Federal larder
is gotting quite lean at Washington,
and that the “grand army" will soon be
compelled to move either forward o
backward, or starve where it is. In the
meantime our works, here, nro being
pushed rapidly on to a great state of
perfection and the completeness of tho
fortifications, combined with tho vory
superior natural advantages of tho
place, make it n complete Gibraltar.
Swilling, of tho Floyd Infantry, died
last Thursday. Tho sick of the Light
Guards, are at latest accounts recov
ing. None very sick of the Miller
Rifles, that I havo heard of. M. D.
Tho Extortion Rill*
Tho Legislature 1ms recently passed a
bill prohibiting the sale of certain ar
ticles, under heavy penaltios, at an ad-
vanao of more tlmu 80 per cont., on tlio
prices of last April. Tho articles ore
salt, wheat, flour, bacon, csnnburgs,
kerseys, brogans, leather, hides, cotton
and wool cards. 1 ho Chronicle in com
menting says:
Tho bill, however, doos not make (so
r as wo are informed) any particular
market a standard, nor docs it seem to
icrmit nocessary charges to be added
o the price—so dealers had better al
low a liberal margin, as the law, being
a penal statute, wiU bo strictly constru
ed, unless tho “strict oonstruetiouists,”
of tho olden tlmo are ull cxtiuct-whicli
seems to bo tho case from tlioir silence.
If tho Legislature design a thorough
reformation of tho practice of extor
tion, if tho bill is, as it professes to be,
a measure for tho relief of poor consu
mers, we submit that there aro many
other articles which should bo added to
this tariff—men and women de not live
by Hour and bacon ulonc. A good ma
ny people eat corn broad and sweet po
tatoes, and like chickens, eggs nnd but
ter occasionally, milk is a goodthiugto
have about the house, and a poor man's
cow, especially about a city in winter,
has a not unreasonable, and, in fact,
un almost insano predilection for fod
der, lmy, oats, Ac. Lot tho legislative
guardians of tho poor take sole of
these facts, multiply tho articles of their
tariff* and tho empty stomachs, botli of
man and boast in tlio State, will bestow
blessings upon them.
J€j?*It is reported that Lincoln will
call 200,000 raoro volunteers for the

Captain Hale and Gentlemen ot' the llartou)
A yengers:
A nation in Its infancy is struggling
for its freedom ; the ruthless foo lias in.
vailed our sod, and tlio battle cry is
heard through ot r borders. To arms l
To arms! is the watchword nnd roply,
nnd you, ns gallant sons of tin* South,
come up^to day enrolled for the fight.
It is a glorious thing to greot tho sol
dier. In him wo pride as brother, fnth-
friends nnd protectors, and you, ns
our neighbors, nro near and dear to us,
boenuso of your many solid virtues,
kind offices and friendly aejs, but doep-
nnd stronger because our regard nnd
our nuxiety for your preservation, hap
piness nnd protection, ns wo recognize
in you the protectors of our lives, our
portona and our proporty, nnd tho
sworn avengers of our country’s wrongs,
and of tlio death of Goorgia's noble
son, tlio lamented Bartow. You, gen
tleman, at gnat sacrifice of comfort, of
of lmppiness nnd of interest, aro about
to loavo your homes for the tented
field. Tho accustomed pursuits of peace
aro to bo clmngod for the “pomp and
circumstance of war.” It is patriotism
and duty which demands tho sacrifice,
to that demand ulono you respond
Tho short experience of this bloody
and frightful war, admonishes us that
victory is to bo had, but at great sac
rifice. ltcnco tho moro devote! is your
patriotism, tho moro fervont our re
gards, and tho more lasting our grati
tudo.
In token of that regard and that
gratitudo which wo cherish for you, and
that confidence which wc havo in your
patriotism and courago, I, on behalf of
tho ladies of this vicinity, who nro your
nei jhbors and friends, prose lit you with
this flag, the banner of our glorious
Confederacy, which floats triumphantly
over Fort Sumter, Manossu, Springfield,
Lexington and every battlo field on
which tho contending armies liavo met,
when the enemies’ forces did not num
ber more than two to one. Take it,
aud unfurl it on the battle field, in
ulation of tlio noble Bartow, nnd if
fall you mnst, let it bo in defence of
that ting and tlio enuso which it repre
sents. Now, gentlemen, renewing tho
assuranco of our high tegnrds for you,
us neighbors and friends, and
fidcucu in your bravery nnd pntrotism,
I tender you in conclusion our warmest
considerations for tho services you
liavo tendered our common country,
and our best wishes for your temporal
interest and mutual welfare. Captain
Hale and company, my wish is that
honlth ami lmppiness may attend you
through life.
C'upt. Hide, of tho Ihrtow Avengers
responded in the most elegant and
propriato manner, pledging tlio com
pany to tlio defenco of this beuutifui
ensign of our mucii loved country, to
tlio last extremity, nnd return with
ic in triumph to a land of liberty, or
buried amidst its fragments.—
After which tlio company went on
board the graceful little steamer Chore-
keo, nnd were soon lost to our sight
tlioir way to the defence of all that
is dear to tho noblo and bravo.
May tho God of battles go with thorn
and shield them from all burn, nnd
soon return them in triumph to the
lovod ones at home.
