Bivouac of 8th Ga. Reo., \ .
April 22, 1862. f
Bear Courier:—I havo bogged a
few scraps of paper, nnd lmve time to
give a brief summary of transactions
hero sinoo 11 o’clook a. m., last Friday
when my last letter was closed. The
8th was then in thn trenches between
Dam No. 1 and No. 2, whore we con
tinued until 8 o’clock Saturday ovening,
liavibg gone Ih at 4 o'clock Friday
morning. This duty was extremely
severe, the men being required to keep
awake all the time—which, by the way
Is impossible—an attack being momon-
tarily expected, and the order being
to hold the position against any force
Nothing worthy of note occurred fur
ther than that cannonading was kept
up nearly alll the time by the enemy-
mostly directed against our batteries—
and their sharpshooters constantly
shooting at our men in the trenches
if one happened to expose himself, un
til o’clook Saturday afternoon, when a
flag of truce was sent over from our
side, requesting the enemy to send
over and removo their dead, killed on
Wednesday, and many being near our
trenches, had become a most disagreea
ble nuisance. The enemy preferred
that we send them over; this was
agreed to, and thirty seven were carried
over Dam No. 1 by our men j there are
probably twice ns many more in the
pond, which was not searched. This
short armistice was intensely enjoyod.
It was a sweet rerelaxation from the
awful anxiety experienced since
Wednesday morning. The mon left
their places in the trenches, and for
two hows experienced the sweet de
lights of peace. Never did time seem
to fly on swifter wings. .On one side of
the pond the mon sauntered about in
listless leisure—on tho enemy’s side
they were in line, and as neat and
prim ns an old maid. Their army is
evidently much better disciplined
than ours.
Saturday night at 8 o’clock, and just
is our Brigade was being relievod from
tho trenches, a false alarm was created,
and all along our line between Dams
No. 1 and No. 2, nearly all tho men
fired,'and some two or three times.
None of the 8tli wore harmed. In the
Otli two wore killed by the enemy’s
pickets, five or six wounded by our
own men ; in the 7th Gn. ono was kill
ed and six or seven wounded by their
Own regiment. This most mortifying
affair created great confusion, it be
ing w dark as it over gets to be, at the
tho time and raining beside. The pan
io lasted but a short time, however, and
when quiet nnd order was restored,
we were marched to our position—some 1
400 yards—on the lear, the place of the
roserve. The men woro all thoroughly
wet, without blankets or oilclothes or
shelter of any kind, yet most of them
as soon as their guns were stacked, lay
down on tho wet ground and wore soon
asleep. At about midnight there was
another general firing by our mon in
the trenches, &c., and like the first,
without cause, our regiment was in
line in less than five minutes, ready
to support thoso in the trenches if
need be. One by one, however, they
again lay down and wore soon asleep
At day light tho same unfortunate af
fair was played over for the third
time. Tho groat fault lies in the fact
thiyt our men will fire without orders
when they think they seo an enemy,'
I believe the Lincolnites throw- for
ward-a few of their pickets occasional
ly, at night, into the pond, which
many places, is only a foot or two
deep, just for the purpose of drawing
. our fire.
On Sunday the firing along our lino
for three or four miles, was more gen
eral than it had been at any time be
fore. There was no considerable fight
tlieuglit that 1 have heard of. The
men spent the time in cleaning up their
guns. Sunday night at 8 • o’clock our
regiment again went into the trenches
for twenty-four hours more, at 9 o’clock
there was a tremendous discharge of
musketry from our line about a mile
below us ; the feint did not extend to
our regiment this time; I am happy to
Btate. At 2 o’clock p. m., Monday,
the enemy sent over a flag of truce
ask for an exchange of prisoners
They particularly desired a missing
Capt. As we did not have him—he
probably being in the pond witn many
of his men—no exchange was effected
It is rumored that they have fourteen
of our men, A'abamians, taken some
two miles above, near Winns’ Mill, last
Wednesday—Lee’s Mill, another im
portant point, is two or three miles
Southwest, or below here, as the creek
runs. The trenches are very muddy
and .Sunday night we 1 suffered much
^ from cold. Many of the men have
now got their oilcloths and one blanket
each. Yesterday the enemy’s cannon
were nearly silent and ours entirely bo.
To-day the Fed’s fire occasionally, say
every half hour or so, and there is nob
much firing botween the pickets.—
The enomy’s sharpshooters annoy us
very much. They are firstrato shots,
nnd their guns hold up well six or
seven hundred yards. A few men
hnve been wounded by them, but none
killed that 1 have heard of. It is
woods all about bore, all the way up
to the enemy’B lino, except an opening
cut dowr) in front of our battery w op
posite Dam No. 1, but ns the growth is
not very thick in many places, they
manage to got a good* many bullots
through to us. J ust back of the en
emy’s piokets, there is a large field
in which they havo their batteries, all
thrown up Inst Wednesday.night.
It seems doubtful now' when the
general battle will bo fought, and many
think it will not bo here at all. It is
rumored that enemy are now prepar
ing to move, probably to Fredericks
burg. Nearly ono half of the men
who loft Richmond with us aro now
unfit for duty, mostly from fatiguo nnd
loss of sleep. If our entire forco here
is in the same situation, McClellan cun
soon whip tho fight without firing a
gun. The men complain very much
and there is no little murmuring. It
is thought tiiat some of the brigades,
kept t\vo or throe miles back, might be
brought forward nnd reliove ours,
beliovo Gen. Mngruder is still in com
mand on the peninsula, although Gen.
Joseph E. Johnston is hero.
This morning the sun shone out
bright and warm, but now -1J p. in.—
it is raining again. .
Wm. Jones, Capt. of a Chattooga co
company, was elected Major of the
9th Georgia Regiment a fow days sinco,
Major Manger having been promoted
to Lieut. Col. No man in tho 8th Ga,
Regiment has yet boon hurt, either by
the enemy, or the foolishness of our
own mon. Our. time wo expect wil*
come soon for a full share of the casual
ties of war. M. D,
Mr. Editor :—I have a letter in my
possession, from Cedartowu, P61k coun.
ty, informing me that it is currently
reported in that neighborhood that I
havo been sending cotton to Hunts
ville, Ala., and selling it to the onemy
at 28 cents per pound In gold. In jus
tice to myself, I doem it proper to say
that the report is ns falso as it is ma
lignant. I have not bought a pound
of cotton last year or this, and cor
tainly havo not mised any, as I havo
been engaged in other pursuits in Rome
for moro than two years. "How shar

Bivouac of 8th Ga. Regiment, near
Yorktoiv.v, Va., Saturday, April 22, ’62,
Dear Courier :—Not so much because
I have anything of importance to com
municate as to relievo tho painful anx
iety of friends at home, do I write you
a few lines at this time. My last was
closed at 10 o’clock a. ill, last Thursday
Since then there has been no parlieu
larly exciting events in this immedi
ato vicinity. Wo took the usual tour
of 24 houvs in tho trenches, common
cing at 7 o’clock Thursday ovening.—
Our sharpshooters, armed with the En
field Rifle, yesterday, went forward of
the trendies down to tiio wator’s edge,
and even crossed over on Dam No. 2
and skirmished with the enemy’s .pick
cts. One of our sharpshooters was
shot in the side, but not fatally in
jured, it is thought. Capt. Boll, of
tho 9th Georgia, was accidentally shot
in the moutli by one of our men.
I The most cheerful expression of coun-
| tenancc since we havo been on tho
poninsula, by the men generally in tho

figg-Liout. Tlios. F. Hooper, of the
Berry Infuntry, reached here on Sun
day last, from Mississippi. Owing to
tile sudden stoppage of communication
and not hearing from him for somo
time, it was thought that Lieut. H. was

tnke, as ho is looking hearty, and ready
for a round with the Doodles, when tho
time arrives.
The chief featuro of late foreign
nows is tho intense and wido-spreading
anxiety which continues to bo oxcited
abroad by the facts developed in regard
to iron clad vessels by the recent naval
fight in Hampton Roads. In the pub
lic journals, as everywhere else, all
other topics have given place to this
momentous ar.d all-engrossing one.
The countries of tlio Old World wore
more and more deeply agitated every
day by tho naval revolution effected in
tho battle between tho Morrimiio and
Monitor, and —particularly in England
and Franco—science was kept on tho
rack in attempts to discover moons of
defence in time of war. Indeed, it
may ho said that tho Ago of Iron had
boen fully inaugurated abroad. Work
hud been suspended on wooden vessels
in evory dockyard in England, and all
hands were engaged ill getting forward
iron armed ships ; in fact, employed in
creating a navy. Sir William Arm
strong nnd Mr. Blakely lmv'o published
letters to show that guns can he made
of sufficient power to destroy any iron
platos nowin use,'and some highly im
portant experiments hive been con
ducted nt Shoobuvyuoss by order of
tho Admirablyjn that direction. Sir
William Armstrong asserts that one of
his guns, of twelve tons weight, ohavg-
d with fifty pounds of powder, will
break through tho side of any iron
vessel alient. Tho London Times advo.
cates tho uso of powerful and swift
iron-clad "steam rams” for harbor de
fence, tthdf for the first time, alludes
to tho possibility of iron frigates from
Franco besieging the dockyards of
England, and &o. Captain Cowper
Coles, Royal Navy, offers to construct
Tho prospect of the wheat crop
in this section, as far ns can learn, is
very unfavorable. In some places it is
reported to be entiroly ruined, in others
perhaps a third or half a crop will be
made. Wo think that it will depend
on tho weather from this time forward
If this rainy unsettled weather contin
ues, wo may expect an entire failure of
the crop. If view of such a contingen-
ev our farmers should "set their wits to
work” to uso the land again to tho host
advantage, either for man or boast.

We have a word of suggestion io offer
all large money holders. Wo advise
them to invest in property. Good
property is safer and better for thecred
itov classes than money, which cannot
bo safely loaned out during tho war

culation of repayment, for r.o debtor
can estimate his nbility at a future day
TUSCUMBIA AND DECATUR.
Corinth, May 1.—Tho re-occupation
ot Decatur by tho Confederates is con
firmed. Tho Federals burnt the rail
road bridge and shelled tho town.
We have probably ro occupied Hunts
villo.
Northern papers say the French min
ister visited Richmond for tho purposo

flour for tho Regiment, and that a
portion would be ready for supper.—
There lins been considerable suffering
for want of wholesome food, hut what
really produced most pain was tho fear
ful apprehension that matters would
become worse, and some men, to uso a
soldier’s expression, "hogged” more
than their sharo, and, as is usual
such cases, when there is a probability
of a scarcity, every ono wants rndre
than his usual allowance. It is hoped
that tho Quartermaster and C°mm1ssa.
vies have now got their wits and moans
sufficiently at command, so as to pre
vent further complaint. The main
cause of this trouble is believed to he
beyond our brigade.
One of the 15th Ga. Rogiment was
wounded this morning whilo in the
trenches, I. did not learn how seriously,
further than that they brought him up
on a litter. The enemy fired several
shots into Dam No. 1 yesterday evening
but did not broak it.
Both tlie health and the spirits of
tho men are bettor now than two days
since. Longstreot’s Division is on our
left. This morning abou.t sun-rise,
there was heavy .skirmishing heard
along his lino, and supposed hts made
a sortie inside tho enemy^s line. It was
announced that he. would do this yes
terday evening, but we heard nothing
of it then. It was thought probable
whenever ho did do it that it would
bring on a general fight. It rained all
night and has continued up to this
time, noon, to-day. This is the worst
rainy country 1 ever saw, and we are
very scantily provided with blankets
and oilcloths, .and have no shelter at
all. We have no idea when the general
fight will come off, if at-all, here. Our
Regiment goes into the trenches again
at 7 o’clock to-night. M. D.

enforced by law. To hoard and treas
ure up money or credits', will ho found
unsafe, vexatious nnd dangerous to
holders. If tho onemy gets hero, (a
possible thing, though not probable)
it will render inactive during his stay,
at least, Confederate notes, which now
constitute our circulating medium.
The true policy of the creditor class,
who liold bank paper, Confederate
notes, or oven coin, is to invest in prop
orty, tliobestof nil possessions now. We
adviso and urge all who are in debt, to
sell property ar.d pay oft' debts which
oppress and clog their movements,
The really strong and able men, should
bo the holders of meney, ^wlio cun
avoid the sacrifices of disposing of it—
having no pecuniary wants to compel
them to sell or use it during tho war.
Liquidation is tho true policy of both
creditor and dejitor. It is tjjo interest
of creditors to take whatever his debt
or may offer him, and it is the duty
and interest of the debtor to give his
creditor the best lie shall be able to
offer, in payment of whatever he may
owe. These "flush times” should be
made by the weak and burdened the
period of settlement. Do not refuse
fair and reasonable price for whatever
you may possess; take it and promptly
hunt up your creditor, and put at his
risk tho money which you may receive,
for lie can wait to realize it when the
war shall ond, and things be restored to
their accustomed channels.
Creditor, remember that your prop
erty here, or in tho South and West.,

that the English,iron vessels now built
aro almost valueless, being very slow,
efusing to obey the holm, and having
open decks, liable to tho assault of
boarders. La Couronne, another mag
nificent iron frigate, had made a very
successful trial trip, and all France
was deeply agitated on the subject of
the great advanco of the empire to

Not only in Great Britain and France,
hut on the Continent generally, is the
public attention strained to a pitch of
painful anxiety on the subject of these
pending changes in naval architecture
All tlio European governments that
have a strip of sen coast are turning to
profit tlio lesson that we have givon
them. Thus, Denmark has already
voted a million of rix dollars for the
construction of iron-plated vessels,
whilst Sweden sent its Crown Prince to
assist at Hie trial trip of tho French
frigate La Oourouno, the largest iron
war steamer afloat. Italy has already
some very fine iron vessols-sf-war, and
her citizens were hard nt work on oth
ers. Austria was officially informed of
the revolution in warfare at sea on tho
very day that an Imperial commission
roported her huge land fortress as de
fiant of overy known means of assault,
and tho Prussians, people and govern
ment, regarded tho engagement in
Hampton Roads ns ono of “the most
important events of the day.”
