Bivouac or 3d Brigade, 1st Division,
Army or Potomac, near
CoirirrRR C. H., Friday, March 14,’62.
Dear Courier:—The kit letter of
your correspondent was closed at this
place, Wednesday evening. It seems
that the army 1ms been halted i here
to rest and bring up the* stragglers,
and lest the men should "founder,”
three drills were ordered lor yesterday—
Battalion drill at 8 a. m., by company
at 11 a. m., and by Brigade at 4 p. m.
It was misting and raining slowly
nearly all day after 11 o’clock, and,
on that account, the Brigade drill was
dispensed with. The men complained
bitterly at having to drill the very
first day after halting, from a march
of forty-five miles and ono of the se
verest— taking their loads and tho
cendition of tho roads into considera
tion—that has been by this division
of the army since the war commenc
ed.
This morning our Rogiraent received
a small number of bell tents, that our
Quartcrmastor borrowed—enough to al
low threo or four to a company
cording tho sizo of each. The Light
Guards reported 34 men present and
obtained throe tents. This indicates
that wo will remain here for some days
longer, at least.
There are a thousand rumors afloat
in regard to the movements of the
onemy, sinco our army commenced
falling back. I will mention a few
that seem to bo rolioblo: It is repor
ted that tho Federal cavalry scouts
took possession of Centreville on
Monday, and took quite a number of
prisoners—some of them sick soldiers
who had failed to got off—some citi
zens and a few troops, who had been
left tlioro to destroy any Government
property remaining. It is said that on
Tuesday, scouting parties of Lincoln-
ita advanced as far as tho Stone Bridge
—on Bull Run, which was blown up a a
soon as our troops had all crossed—
and, that our cavalry there had a
skirmish with them, in which seven of
the enemy were killed and our Iobs
only two, slightly wounded. It is re
ported that Stuart’s entire Brigade of
cavalry is in tho rear of our army cov
ering its retreat. It is rumored that
three or four of the Tiger Rifles who
were straggling were taken prisoners
■Wednesday, at Bristow station, four
miles this side of Manassas. It is said
that nearly all of the extra baggage of
our Brigade wns burnt before being
moved from the vicinity of Centreville.
This included tho trunks of most of
the company officers, containing all
their clothing in many instances, ex
cept what they had on when the move
commenced. "They say” that tho
Federal flag was raised in Leesburg-
a town, by the way, of some three
thousand inhabitants—before our for
ces wore out of sight. It is said that
a considerable quantity of stores were
destroyed at Mnnassas.
Most of the men of this Brigado,
who fell out on tho march, have come
up to their respective regiments. The
whole country is in a state of confus
ed excitement—hundreds of fam
ilies are packing up |and moving-
some getting ahead of the army, and
others following it. The citizens had
no intimation of the movo of tho army
until it was actually, commenced.
Most of tho able-bodied men were
away from their homes, and tho con
sternation, in families, can be bettor
imagined than described. Many ser
vants have run away—some from the
Yankees and others from their lawful
protectors. Whilo the great majority
are moved back with their owners
into the country—some are left in
charge of their Master’s property.—
Some of tho families remain at their
homes—about tho towns a considera
ble portion of them.
The orders against selling all intoxi
cating drinks to troops, aro very strict.
In Warrenton tho Provost Guard wore
ordered to destroy all that was kep
there for sale, and a considerable quan
tity was poured upon the ground by
thorn.
Bofore leaving Centreville, hundreds
of broken down horses were sent oil' to
reeuperato. There are still thousands
in tho army, that-, unless they get hot
ter treatment, will soon bo dead or
useless—many of them naturally fine
animals, and only needing more food
and better treatment, to rostoro them
to their former good condition.
It is just reported that no mail is now
sent off from Culpepper, nor has been
for the Inst two or throe days. If this
is true, two letters writton to the 'Cou
rier' sinca wo loft Centreville, havo
been lost. This will bo sent by private
conveyance.
I know of nono of the- Floyd county
boys tlmt arc much sick—scro foot and
Jamo shoulders aro about tho worst
complaints heard. Several that were
indisposed before the march havo boot!
improved by it, Lt. Moore, Serg. Scott
Hutchings, and John Pinson, did not
make the march,’but took tho oars at
Manassas, and aro now in Gordonsville.
They wore unwell. Some five or six
recruits to tho Miller Rifles arrived yes-
torday. Maj. Mngruder is still unwell
at Gordonsville. In this Regiment,
Lewis, of the Atlanta Greys, is the only
Captain present.
A tragedy was onacted in the town of
Culpepper last night, that has occasion
ed considerable talk to day in this
Brigado. The facts as given by a relia
ble informant, are substantially as fol
lows: Four of the Tiger Rifles, of Maj.
Wheat’s Louisiana Battalion, some
timo in the night, being intoxicated at
tho time, went to a dwelling and de
manded lodging for tho night. This
was denied thorn, and, ns thoy insisted
tho door wns locked against them, and
Lieut. Hardwick, of Company B, 8th
Georgia, who happened to be a guest in
tho house, ordered thorn away. They
broke in the window and fired two or
three shots into tho house. Finally
ono of them Bhowed himself at the
window, and Lieut. Hardwick shot him
through, killing him instantly. Tho
other three desperadoes wore afterwards
arrested. Lieut. H. early this morn
ing reported to Col. Lamar, what ho
had done, and also to Gen. Smith, the
commander of this Division of the
Army. Of course everybody regards it
as a case of justifiable homicide.
9 o’clock P. M.—No intimation has
yet been given of further movements.
Wo had a Brigade Drill this afternoon,
the first one since Gen. D. R. Jones lias
boon in command. He pronounced
tho drill very creditable. M. D.
ggy-The Congregation of the Metho
dist Church unanimously voted, on
Sunday last, to tender thoir Church
Bell, in response to Beauregard's eall
for bell’s to make cannon. .
For the War.—Lieut. Hooper, Corp’l
Bruton, Privates Burwell and George
Shiver, — Nichols, Thos. Dukes, Reu
ben Dollar, Toliver and Isiah Trapp, re
turned from the Berry Infantry yeater
day, on furlough, having re-enlisted tor

about half of the Company has re-
enlisted for the war.

Tho “Avalanohe” says the evacua
tion of Now Madrid was “hasty if not
disgraceful that a gentleman “
loug attached to Gen. Jeff Thomson’s
command, denies that any of Thom
son’s men carried the intelligence to
New Madrid upon which it is said the
stampede took place. That Thomson’s
command was forty miles off, and none
of his men could havo carried such or
any other information.
The editor says "the panic was alto
gether the result of imaginary fears,
and was most discreditable.”
The “Appeal” of the 20th reports
our loss in tho fight at Island No. 10,
on Monday last, to be three killed .and
eight wounded ; that the onomy had
six iron clad gunboats in the action,
and fired slowly all day at a distance
of threo-quarterB of a mile.

As there was a groat deal of extra bag

“ Gov. Brown has ordered the
shipment of cotton over the W. & A
Railroad, to bo suspended until further
orders. This is to prevent certain trai
torous speculators from selling it to the
Yankees in Tennessee.

Da?"A correspondent of the Mobile
Register & Advertiser says the English
steamer Economist ran the blockade
(the port not given) with 35,000 stand,
of arms, 60 tons of powder, and largp
stores of blankets, shoes, medicines
&c., for the Confederate Government.
JSQTTlio Atlanta Commonwealth has
the following:
Two papers are published in Nosh
ville, theBanner from the office of the
old Banner & Whig, and the Times,
from the Union and American office.
Both are said to be bold and outspoken'
and the latte particularly saucy.
Although a very large quantity of
S revision was lost at Clarksville and
iashville, there was net near as much
left to be captured us was roportod at
first. ’ A great deal of it was distributed
among the women and others, who had
been doing work for the Government,
paying them largely over tho amount
due.
Gen. Johnston has, to a considerable
extent, lost the confidence of the peo-
§ lo along his line of march, but the
iBsatUfaotion is less goneral than tho
publio has been made to believe. It
will require, however, some master
stroke [of strategy, or some brilliant
exploit on his part, to recover entirely
the favor of the public. From another
source we learn that he addressed his
officers, after their arrival at Murfrees
boro, when ho is reported to have said
that in however low esteem he might
now be held as a military commander,
he would in n short time retrieve his
lost ground, and demonstrate the mili
tary value of his movements.
Can tlic South Feed Itcrsclf and the
Army!
This is a momontous quostion, on
which depends tho destiny of tho Con
federate States. Wo answer certainly,
provided cotton is not made, clearly
not if it is planted to nny considerable
extent; probably oven a tenth of a
crop will prove tho feather that is to
break tho camel’s back. Bettor plant
none, oxcopt for tho families of poor
soldiers, who have gone to fight your
battles. Feed and clothe their wives
and children—it is not a charity, it is
your solemn duty.
Supposing, under the circumstancos,
that Missouri, Kentucky, Tonnossee
and Virginia, cannot more than feed
themselves, if oven that, then tho army
and tho South must clopcnd entirely on
tho remaining States, the ones devotod
to cotton culture chiefly. 'I’hese nine
States have about thirty million acres
of improved land—deduct from this
about ten million acres, that aro unfit
for cultivation, and that cannot bo till
ed on account of the absence of labo.
rers in tho army—this loaves twonty
million acres. Estimate tho whole of it
as yielding corn, at ton bushels per
acre, (a safe average) it will yield three
hundred millions of bushels of corn.
Theso States have a population of about
seven millions, this would allow about
thirty bushels per lioad—10 bushols is
enough for caoli person, oh an average,
13 bushels being considered sufficient
for a laboring man. Then there will
bo 20 bushols left to make meat for
each man, amply sufficient to produce
200 lbs of pork per head.
Truo, all tho land will not bo planted
in corn, much of it grows wheat, oats,
rye, vegetables &c., but this will make
no difference (if cotton bo left out) in
the great result, an ample supply of
food.
lienee, it is plain, starvation need
not be apprehended, unless tho people
aro so unpatriotic as to plant cotton
Providence smiling on us, our enemies
would bo unable to reduce us to sub
mission by their barbarous effort to
bring famine.
This calculation docs not proceed
on the basis of a rigid economy, but
allows ubundanee to man and beast
The grain growing States of tho Con.
federacy, hard pressed as they are, will
probably bo self-sustaining during the
present year, but it is well for the cot
ton States to aot on the possibility of
having to feed, to a great oxtent, these
States, that hitherto have furnished
them. So in with the corn—put the
cotton seed on top. H.
Late News.
Hon. W. L. Yancy.—Tho “Adverti
ser” slates that Mr. Yancey arrived at
Montgomery on Friday morning at 4
o’clock, “and took his carriage imme
diately for hss farm, four miles in the
country, where his family were waiting
to receive him. He was to leave the
next morning for Richmond, to report
to the Government and take his seat
in the Senate.”
Fallen Back—It was rumored on
Monday, and ns wo happened to know,
Bays the Lynchburg Virginian, upon
tho nuthonty of thoso who ought to
be informed, that the onemy had fallen
back from Mnnassas to tho Potomac,
suspecting that Johnston was laying a
trap for them.
figy It appears, says tho Augusta
Chronicle, that the announcement that
General Lee had been appointed Com
manding General of tho Army was an
error. Tho President votood the bill
to create the office, and General Leo
has only been detailed for duty at
Richmond under the direction of the Pres
ident, who remains ex officio command
ing General.
Exclusion of Northern Men from
Citizenship in Florida.—Tho Florida
Legislature has added [tho following
important amendment to the State Con
stitution :
Pc it ordained, dec., That no citizen of
any of the States.or Territories of tho
United States, which aro now at war
with the Confederate States, shall ever
be admitted to the rights ot citizenship
in this State; no such person shall vote
at elections, be eligible to office, hold
real estate, exercise any profession or
trade, be engaged in inf cnanieol, man
ufacturing, commercial, banking, insu
rance, or other business, under pain of
confiscation, to the- use of tho State,'
all property held by such persons, as
shall violate this clause of this Consti
tution.
Wo sincerely hope this law will bo
passed by every State in the Confed
eracy.
The Balls of the Ericsson Batterv.-
From a late Northern paper we learn
that the Ericsson was armed with balls
of wrought iron. The article taken from
tho “Scientific American” is short,
and wo give it entire:
Expensive Shot..—The Ericsson iron
plated floating battery, at Green Point,
has been armed with two 11-inch co-
lumbiads, which have been furnished
with 400 wrought iron shot, each ball
costing 47 dollars, and weighing 184
pounds. These balls were mado by
forging Bquaro blocks of iron at tho
Novelty Works, then turning them at
the lathe. The cost of tho 400 amounts
to §18,800, and their total woiglit is
73,000 pounds. Cast iron shot aro lia
ble to break in pieces when tired against
thick iron plates. Theso wrought iron
shot are for smashing through the
sides of such secession batteries as tho
Merrimac at Norfolk, and Hollins’
Turtle at New Orleans.
Memphis, March 20.—The enemy
commenced shelling our works at. Is
land No. 10 on Saturday, the 14th. inst,
at a long distanco, and renewed it on
Sunday. On Monday thoy brought
down eight gunboats and six mor'ar
boats, and commenced again. Threo
boats lashed together made a desperate
attack on Capt. Ruoker’s battery. It
was terrific. Lieut. Cl&rk of the bat
tery was killed—no others. The bat
tery sustained considerable injury du
ring the four days bombardment. One
of tho enemy’s gunboats was disabled
on Monday, and towed back. The
other boats were struck ; but the ex
tent cf tho damage done is not
known.
Our troops conducted themselves
with great spirit and resolution.
The river is falling slowly at Island
No. 10.
A special dispatch to the city papers
says:
Sergt. Kittle of McCullough’s brig,
ade, who was taken prisoner at the
battlo of Pea Ridge, having escaped
from the Yankoos, reached Fort Smith
on the 19th inst. He reports their loss
in the fight to be 2,000. They took
390 prisoners, many of whom are citi
zens. The Yankees are preparing for
another attack. Gen. Seigel was woun
ded in the arm slightly. Two Texas
regiments went to bury our dead under
a flag of truce, and the Yankees fired
on them. Three thousand . Yankees
are en route to reinforce Gen Curtis.
. March 21.—A steamer from up the
river bring intelligence that the Yan
kees are moving down the west bank
of the river Blowly.
Information was Moeived hero from
Corinth Miaoeeippi, that the Yankees
retreated back to the Tennessee river.
Augusta, March 22—The Wilming
ton Journal says tho Bteamer Nashville
went to sea on Monday last. She pass
ed out betweon two blockading vessels,
which fired 30 thots at her. She is
now ; no doubt, safe from the clutches
of tho Linoolnites.
Fort Smith, Marchal6.—Official in
teligence has been received here that
Col. Hebert, of Louisiana, is a prisoner,
uninjured, and will be exohanged in a
few days.
The water eourses being so high, and
such stormy weather, has prevented the
reaeption of late intelligence from the
enemy, who is reported to be retreat
ing. He is, it is said, at Bentonville
and still falling back on Cassville. Our
army is in high spirits and ready for
another fight.
Norfolk, 21st March.—The Minneso
ta is anchored east of tho Rip Raps,
disabled but not sunk. »
Four transports and a steamer full of
troops are in the Roads, supposed to be
destined to Burnside’s fleet.
Three large Federal frigates at Fort-
sess Monroe, which, had been detain
ed by the north oast storm, went to sea
yesterday.

Chattooga co., Ga., March 1862,
Another Groundless Report.—The
telegraphic dispatoli from Augastu, an
nouncing on the authority of a Savan
nah paper, a battle on tho main land
near Fernandina, between 3,000 Feder
al and 2,000 Confederates, with a pro
bability that tho entire Federal force
would be capturod, is wholly untrue.
No such battlo has taken place, nor
anything else to induce “reliable gen
tlemen” to put such a report in circu
lation.—Sau. Republican.
Our Naval Defences.—It gives us
pleasure to announce that the Confed
erate Government lias at last given di
rections which insure the proper vigor
in tho construction of a navy. The
ship builders of Charleston may now
at once engage in a patriotic, as well as
profitable task. Commodore Ingraham
has received full power irom tho Navy
Department at Richmond, to begin
immediately to build as many war stea
mers, and of as formidablo a character,
as the exigencies of the war and the
resources at our command will war
rant. The Government, with its full
coffers and boundless credit, having
taken up this matter in earnest, might
it not bo well that the ladies should
divert the funds which thoy have so
nobly contributed for a gunboat, to
some other objeot equally patriotic,
and in which the need for their help
is more pressingly felt?—Chas. Mercury.
Tub Tennesseeans on the Issue.—
A special dispatch from Cairo to the
Chicago Times, dated the 1st inst.,
reports that the “ unanimous disloyal-
tyof the citizens in and about Nashville
is confirmed by every arrival from the
Cumberland.” The dispatch adds. ;—
“The difference in sentiment between
tho people of the Tennessee and Cum
berland rivers is very marked. On the
former are many Unionists, on the lat
ter havo nono yet mado their appear
anco.”
True Patriotism.—Tt is stated that
the 4th Alabama Regiment, in tho Ar
my of the Potomac, proposes to re-en-
list for the war, rejecting alike tho
fifty dollars bounty and the sixty days
furlough, saying that the causo was
enough.
Jjgjy-Tho Savannah Republican, an
nounces that tho Yankees wero evacu
ating Jacksonville Fla., having gained
nothing by taking possessession of it,
and found that nothing was to bo gain
ed by holding it.
Gov. BnOWN AND THE MECHANICS.—
We learn, from a reliable sourco, that
a number of mechanical establishments
in this oity, extensively engaged in
tho manufacture of tho appurtenances
of war, have refused to receive orders
from tho State, on account of the diffi
culty in getting pay for their work.—
On the other hand, tho Confederate
authorities are prompt in responding to
all their contracts. Humiliating as
this is, it is but just to all concerned
that the truth should be known.—Sav.
Republican.

to substitute grain for tho cotton crop,
as the best war pelicy, states that Dr:
Jarrat has instructed/tliej overseer of
his platotion, in Sumter e'eunty, not to
f lnnt any cotton whatover, but to plant
,200 acres in corn, potatoes,&c., to aid
in supplying provisions for tho South
during tho war. This is the spirit which
will soon "conquer a peaco,” and lift
tho blockade. Wo commend the ex
ample to all our planting friends!
The New Secretary of War.—Tho
Charleston Courier says of that mem
ber of the new Cabinet least known to
the publio: General George Washing
ton Randolph, the new Secretary of
War, is a young man of extraordinary
talents and energy. In tho character
ot his intellect he bears a strong re
semblance to his grandfather, the illus
trious Thomas Jefferson. At tho com
mencement of the present revolution,
he was regarded ns the most promising
among the rising statesmen of Virgin
ia. He served some years in the United
States Nnvy, but resigned previous to
the war. He first distinguished himself
in the political areua as the leader of
tho immediate secession party in the
Virginia Convention, and to his perse
verance and eloquence is mainly duo
the ultimate action of that torpid body.
At the first clash of arms he roised an
artillery company and was assigned to
tho department of General Magruder.
He took part, wo believe, in the battlo
of Great Bethel. He was a candidate
for Congress from the Richmond Dis-
trick, but subsequently withdraw in
favor of Hon. John Tyler. When a
howitzer regimont was raised for the
Peninsula, he was elected its Colonel.
About six weeks ago the President
made him a Brigadier General, and
ordored him to tho command of our
defences at Suffolk, Va. He now stops
into tho most important position—
with ono exception—under the gov
ernment. His character and antece
dents give us reason to believe that ho
will provo highly efficient in transac
ting the details of tho War Office.
