Bivouac or 8th Ga. IIegt.,
Saturday; July 5th, 1862.
BgarCouiuxu: Since writing to you
on Wednesday, thcro has been no con-
, Biddable fighting, so far as I have been
able to learn. The main body of the
enemy ha* rolreatcd to a largo bond in
the James river, where they are pro"
tecled on three sides by that stream,
and on all sides by their gunboats.
Their retreat ought to havo been cut
oft’, and it is reported that Gen. Huger
is now under arrest, for not occupying
a certai.i position to which he had been
ordered for this purpose. The Battle
ot Tuesday July 1st, was fought on
Crews’Farm, that of the 30th ult., on
Frasier's Farm.
Thursday Ao remained in bivouao
near Crews’ Farm all day. The Brigade
started on Friday, at 4 o’clock A. M.,
for this place. Nothing of peculiar in
terest occurred on the march. Stone
wall Jackson’s army is hero, rind many
other troops. We are now twenty-five
miles from Rio’ mond, eight from
Char) City C. H., and nine from bong
Bridge. Appearances last night indicat-
jtl that our forces would attack tho ene
my—who are in lino of battlo about
three miles from hero—early this mor
ning. But it is now 8J o'clock, and
no demonstrationGins yet been made.
Although tho enemy has boon retreat
ing for now over a week, yielding one
stronghold after another, yet it docs not
seem that they have beer, thoroughly
and irrecoverably whipped. The Con
federate army are now provided with
sixty rounds of cartridges, and prepar
ation are being made as if a grand gen.
oral engagement with tho enemy, now
concentrated, was expected.
The truth seems to bo that tho Fode"
ral army is so large, and their retreat
lias been conducted in such good order
that it is almost impossible to whip
them all. No ono field is largo enough
to meet them all at once, and while wo
are “whnlloping” one. or two divisions
tho others retreat, and siek an udrnn*
tageous position.
Tho health of tho men in our Regi
ment has improved with tho last fow
days of diminished fatigue. The Light
Guards yesterday had twenty-four men
in ranks. There are none of tho Floyd
county boys vory sick that we know of
—the absont ones having fallen to the
rear, mostly from fatigue, and nre com.
ing on with tho wagons. Scott Hutch
ings is doing well in Richmond, and
oxpects to start home in a week or so.
Marion Payno will probably join the
company in a few days. Wm. McKay
is probably a prisoner, as lie lias not
yot been heard from. Col. Lamar U
said to be doing well in Richmond. In
their hasto to got away, the Federals
could not carry him, so lie and somo
two hundred of their own wounded
fell into our. hands on last Monday.
5 o’clock P. M.—All remains quiet so
far as I can hear. Wo have only mov
ed about half a mile to-day. Captain
Dawson is now in command of our
Regiment, and Lieut. R. T. Foucho' is
commanding his company, the Ste-
phons Light Guards. Most of the
boys havo spent the dav in sleeping.

Sunday, July 6th, 1862,
Diar Cour’ikr: We'still remain in
tho same place I wrote from yesterday
and and all has remained quiet along
our line. Jackson’s army is in this im
mediate vicinity, and We aro not cer
tain but that our Brigade is now under
his command. It is thought that the
position of tho enemy in front is natu
rally better than our own, and that
'they are fortyfying. Of general move
ments wo can see nor hear nothing, but
just have to keep our position and
await ordora.
A few particulars of the fight on the
1st inst., may be interesting to our rea
ders. MonrOc Phelps was killed a full
half mile from the ■ enemy’s battery
whife making the charge. Ho was shot
through the bowels by a cannon ball
cutting him nearly in two, and mulil
lating his body in a most horrid man
ner. He was a modest young man
clever in all his ways, brave ns the
bravest, and always did his duty with
out murmuring. Hugh McCullough
•was killed at tho furthest point to
winch the Rogimont went in the charge,
He was shot with a rifle ball just under
the right eye, and fell instantly dead
-A bettor or more useful soldier cannot
be found, llo was always busy doing
good, and not only cheerfully perform
ed his duty, but constantly sought out
■Ways for serving his coufitry and com
panions in awns. Tlie remains of these'
two Wore brought -out to near the road,
on Wednesday, by. moiubers of their
company, and decently buried, their
names and Regiment bein'g marked on
.the head stone.
Tuesday morning wo marched over
tho battle field of Monday evoning,
and our boys got a supply of Yankee
uliber cloths, blankets, paper, envel
opes, haversacks, tic. Hundreds of tho
dead und dying were still on tho field t
and tlie scene was heart rending and
sickening in the.extremc.
10} o’clock.—orders are issued to fall
in, and I must close for the present.

Bivouac or 8th Ga. Reut.,
Mouday, June 7, 1862.
Dear Courier :—0*r Brigade moved
yesterday only about a mile and n half
to tho front and we nre now on picket
duty on tho left of our lino. Wo have
a picket guard in front, in sight of the
enemy’s pickets. Tho river is abtout a
mile and a half oft—McClellan’* mnin
force being this sido and a little up the
river from us. Wo heard their bands
playing very distictly lost night,
suppose their gunboats can shell lis
whenever they plcnsc.
The men hold up wonderfully well,
considering tho hardships they endure
and their scanty fare. Wo get noth
ing to eat but fat meat and hard bread,
and little enough of these. Cooped up
here with tho regiment, in the woods
I can learn nothing of general move
ments. Firing has been heard both
up and down the river this morning-
only a fow cannon shots, however.—
’Tis rumored that wa have some field
batteries on the river bank below, for
the purpose of cutting oft’ the enemy's
transports. Two prisoners who volun
tarily came into our line yesterday nnd
sui-ronderad, soy that on Saturday
tho 28th ult., that Gen. McClellan
had an order read to all hia forces on
his left, stating that his right wing had
whipped out tho Rebels on his right,
taking a whole division prisoners, und
that his right wing was then in Rich
mond. These men may havo lied,
but I would sooner believe that their
Gonoral did. Tho general report from
prisoners is that tho Fedoral army is
very much discouraged nnd entirely
sick of the war. They are now nwaro
that they have been deceived in many
ways, but yet good discipline is main"
tnined, and McClellan is roported to
havo 70,000 in ope body, nnd daily ex
pecting reinforcements. But God has
blessed our arms with great success,
and, with a continuance of His divine
favor, wc hope to make the victory
complete. Tho gunboats is all that
saves the invaders now.
Tho enemy were all day yesterday
cutting down trees in front of us by
thousands, but for what purpose wo
cannot discern. They are probaldp
fortifying, making roads, bridging the
swamp, &., but it may all be done
for the purpose of ra'aking an early and
safo departure on their transports and
gunboats. Tho Lord grant t-liHt this
may be their object, for it seems ex
tremely rash for ouv Generals to at
tack them in their present position
and strength, and under covoi- of their
gunboats. But it may be possiblo to
starve them out oft their present posi
tion, ancl if so, they may get their fill
yot ; so ono hardly knows what to
wish. If the reports arc true, General
Huger is responsible for tho present
favorable position of tho enemy. Can
it be possiblo that a South Carolinian
OtNanxi. has finally betrayed our cause,
just on the eve of the greatest victory
tlie world ever saw ! But ho should
not ho condemned beforo an investiga

Dear Courier -.—Allow me through
your valuable paper, to give testimony
to the thorough method of instruc
tion, pursued in the Rome High School
under the care of Rev. Mr. Greer.
The undersigned was impressed at
tho lato examination, by tho thorough
acquaintance' with their studios, dis
played by the scholars.
Their exercises on tho black-board,
both in mat-hem.itics and ’ languages,
ev.br admirable, well attesting the faith
fulness of the teacher, and tho perse
verance of the scholar.
I regretted, however, to perceive
the non-attendance of a number of the
pcnsable to tho good order and success
of all scholars, l’arental, although is
not superceded by that of tiio teacher,
nor should parental indulgence con
flict with tho rules nnd requirements
of a school.
We trust that parents ami guardians
will co.operato with Mr. Greer in his
valuable labors for our youth" 1 , and his
experience nnd energy combined with
their zeal nnd assistance, will secure to
Rome a first class school for boys.

The Kcbel Onsct--Au Awful Scene.
A member of one of tlie Now York
Artillery companies, prominently en
gaged in Die first day’s fight in front of
Richmond, writes as follows in regard
to'the action:
Our spherical cose shot were awful
missiles, each of them consisting of a
clotted mass of seventy-six musket
balls, with a charge of powder in tho
centre, that is fired with a fuse, the
snmo as a shell. The missile first nets
as a solid shot, ploughing its way
through inassos of men, and then ex
ploding, hurling forward a shower ’of
musket balls, tiint mow down tho foe
in heaps. Our battery threw twenty-
four of these a minute, nnd as* we had
the exact range of overy part of the
field, every shot tolcl with. frightful ef
fect. But the enemy were not at all
daunted—they marched steadily on,
and hailed a perfect torrent of balls
upon us. Why we, as well as our hor
ses, were not every one shot down, will
forever remain a mystery to me. We
did not mind the leaden hail, howover,
but kept pouring our case shot into tho
denso masses of the foe, who came on
in prodigious and overwhelming force.
And they fought splendidly too. Out-
shots tore thoir ranks wide open, and
shattered them asunder in - a manner
that was friglftful to witness ; but they
dosed up again at once, and camo on
as stoadily as English veterans. When
they got within 400 yards, wo closed
our case shot and opened on them with
canister; and such destruction I never
elsewhere witnessed. At each discharge
groat gaps wero mndo in their ranks—
indeed, whole companies went down
beforo thut awful fire ; but they closed
up with an order nnd discipline tlinq
was awe inspiring. They seemed to bo
animated with tho hope of a speedy
victory if they could, by an overwhelm
ing rush, drive us from our position
It was awful to soo llioir ranks, torn
and shattered by every disolinrge of
canister that we poured right into their
faces,'and while tlioir- dead and flying-
lay in piles, close up and still koop ad
vancing right in the face of tho fire.
At one time, three lines, one behind
another, wero steadily advancing and
throe of their flags were brought in
range of one of our guns shotted with
canister. “Fire 1” shouted the gunner,
and down wont tjiose throe flags, and a
gap war opened through those three
lines, ns if a thunderbolt had "torn
through thorn, and the dead lay in
.swaths. But they at onco closed up,
