Camp Randolph, July 19th,, 1862.
Mr. Salvage—Bear Sir : After spoil

n missive upon you from this camp, I
have Anally summoned up tho courage
to "pitch in lemons” and trust to luck
whether this letter turns out a “song or
»sermon.” You are probably aware

Curo Tor Diarrhcca.
It seems not to be generally known
that the free use of ripe peaolios is a
prompt and certain remedy fur diar
rhroa. The writer has known cases of
several months’ standing, which had
resisted nil ordinnry remedies, yield in
a few days under unrestrained use of
this fruit. At this season, when the
disease and the remedy are both so
common, tho knowledge of this fact,
for tho truth of which the writer
vouches, may saye much suffering. If
hospital pathntssuftcring from diarrhoea
were treated freoly with ripe peaches
instead of opium, the result would bo
greatly to the advantage of all concerned.
The remedy is peculiarly valuable in
the coso of oiiildran. Let those who
aro dosing their children with drugs at
this season try this pleusunt remedy,
and they will need no other. E.
fST-We had several showers within
a few days past, but they were too
light, and from wlmt we can learn they
have not supplied the moisture that is
so much needed. IJic weather duiing
tho past week has been oppresssively
warm.
The evening truiiv on the State Road

Exchange of Prisoner*.
It sems that the Federul Government,
says the Richmond Dispatch, has ut
lost so far condescended to recognize
the Confederacy us to propose negotia
tions for a general exchange of prison-
oners. On Monday afternoon dispatch
es reached this city tinder seal, address
ed to tlie "Commander-in Chief” of the
Confederate forces, which was immedi
ately sent to Gen. Lee. It has since
transpired that these dispatches relate
to a general exchange of prisoners, and
it is staled that Muj. Gen. D. 11. Hill
has been Appointed to conduct the ne
gotiations upon our part, and that Ar
rangements will at once be entered into
to effect the object desired.
SfiSrTho Augusta Cnronielo says it is

JQTAdj. .Tas. P. Petkins, of tho 18th
Ga. Regiment, wounded at Richmond,
returned on Saturday last.
IGg~ll is found upon examination
says tho Richmond Dispatch, that com
poratively few of tiio muskets captured
from the Yankees in the battles below
Richmond, have sustained serious dam

timo, on their famous retreat from tho
Chickubominy, to make the destruc
of property complete, and henoe we

more than ti thousand that cannot be

g@“Tbe Richmond itxaminer an
nounces on the authority of farmers
from the upper country that the wheat
crop of that portion of Virginia i* the
heaviest harvested in many years. It

crops aro also very heavy, and tho corn

A Shbtirranean Railway in London.
—A subterranean railway is now in an
advanced state of construction, run
ning about four and a half miles under
theoity of Lomlmi. It commences at
Victonu Street, in the midst of what
was formerly a disreputable thorough
fare, but is now a common centre for
the Great Norther i.jJie London, .Chat
ham and Dm ei, and the Metropolitan
lines. ' From that point it passes easier-
ly,<having a 1 irge number of interme
diate stations. On the occasion of a
recent trio made tlnougU its length,
the air-vitas found to be perfectly sweet,
and free from unpleasantness and
dampness. Tho locomotives used con
dense their own- steam, and consume
their own smoke, so that neither gas
nor vapor is pescoptiblq. The sur'ace
of the i-ails is nxule-nf ste“li The line
is-m vie for .two gunge*, and it is a dou
ble. truck throughout-. Tilio- carriages
« will bo n oiny. well, vent-illated, and
lighted with portable gas. i t is expect-
a.l that the road will bo opened about
the middle of June.
The great day for v hich all o.her days
were made, was the 9th inst., when the
various companies assembled at the
ballot box, and gavo their sutfrages to
the distinguished champions for milita
ry honors, olecting Copt. R. E. Kennou
to the former dignity, and Lieutenant
II. 11. Johnson to the latter official sta
tion.
Thus wags the world, and in camps,
as ’ in the field of politioul warfare,
t'the longest polo knocks down the per
simmons.”
In a few days 1 may he enabled to
give you a full list of the officers j>f our
Regiment ; but as Got. Crawford lias
been absent for some time, attending
on a sick and afflicted fumily. I can
only give you the result of our election,
with the exception that Dr. Wooton, of
the Cothran Dragoons, and Dr. Mulkey
of the Talbot Cavalry, are at present
lusting as Surgeon and Ass’t Surgeon
of the Regiment.
Tho monotony of camp life is now
and then enlivened, ly some bright
picture of life's sunshine, breaking iike
the beautiful curruscutions of some
brilliant meteor, uoross the soldier’s de
lighted vision. Our aamp bus been vis'
ited on several occasions by Levies-of
lovely and fasoinuting ladies, whose
bright smiles and encouraging words
fill the soldier’s heart with a world of
pleasurable emotions.
At the present time our camp is dull
enough to satisfy the most fastidious
taste, if I except un occasional visit
from the families of some of our offi
cers.
Wagons from the surrounding coun
try are constantly coming in, luden
wall pies, cukes, apples, eggs, chickens,
mothers, babies umJ buxom lasses, the
"old duds” us a general thing to "gee
Irnw” tho steers; while the mothers sell
the "pies and things,” nurse and spank
the babies, and tuke in the "shins” and
keep u close lookout that the "daters”
don’t tuke on too much ubout the "cal-
very sojt-rs.”
We have considerable sioknoss in
camp, but not of a setious character,
while a lurge number of soldiers are otf
sick furlough. We are under strict
military discipline, which makes some
the boys wince not a little. Our
di ill atlicer, C ipt. Mulcora, comes down
on us with a vitn, and is fust bringing
us to the scratch by morning and even
ing drill, and ere long should you visit
our camp, you will see tho difference
between militia training and regulur
servico.
Our Regiment was visited lust week
by the Rev. Mr Hinton, of Rome, On.,
Who, at ttie rt quest of many friends,
delivered n most excellent rermon. to a
very large and aitontive auditory ot sol
diers. W hat a treat it is to the soldier
who has been accustomed all h s life to
attend regularly wit!, his friends and
family the uhurch of God, but now
confined within the lines of a military
camp, and only permitted to hear
preaching when some man of Clod visits
the camp, to have such men ns Mr
Hinton to preach to them. If such
men eould be induced to accompany
our armies as chaplain*, my opinion is,
that tuuoh of the wickedness of the
camp, about which we always hear so
muoh said, would soon entirely abate.
Col. Cruwford relumed to camp yes
terday, after an absence of two weeks
or more, and the manner of his recep
tion by the men showed the high es
teem in which he is held by the entire
Regiment.
There aro but few of the Cothran
Dragoons on the sick list, and none of
a seriout nature. J. H,
Ark.val or Wounded Prisoners.—"
About eight hundred wounded prison
ers readied the city, last evening, from
.Savage’s Station, on the York River
Railroad. They include some fifty field
and company officer*. Many of them
are very severely wounded, but having
with them their own physicians, who
are well supplied with all the requisite
medical and surgical appliances, they
have little cause to complain. —Rich

supply of confederate postage stamps

|®*The following editorial testimo
ny, from the New York Tribune of the
15th luV, as to the strength of McClel
lan’s army, deserves to be placed upon
record.
We have late private advices from
our army before Richmond. In spite
of its heavy losses by sickness, priva
tion and combnt, it is to-day tlie stron
gest and most effective army ever as
sembled on this continent—muoh
stronger, even in numbers, than is gen-
oraiy supposed. It has more and bet
ter artillery than any other army in the
world ever had.
■The following is the most sensi
ble Yankee letter wo ever read. It
was picked up after tho recent battle
on James’ Island, tear Charleston:
Windham, Iowa, April 15. 1802.
Friend John:—I lull what I would
do if 1 were in your place, the next
battle you get intb. Instead of shoot
ing at the Southerners, shoot tlie head
smack smooth oft’of the first Abolition-
ist that popj up, and keep on doing so
all through the fight. I think if you
would do so you would be serving your
country better than you would by shoot
ing the Southerners, who, 1 believe, are
fighting for their right*. No doubt the
South did wrong in the first place. but
' don’t know but we would have done
they did, if we iiad boon provoked
it as they have been.
Yankee Trick.—The Richmond Dis
patch says: A soldier from Georgia
picked up on the battlefield, a Yankee
"Riohmond Dispatch,’ which hud been
dropped by sumo dead Yankee. We
ha- e not yet seen it, but persons who
have. say it is a curiosity. It is exactly
likO'this paper. Tho size, paper, ad
vertisements and all are precisely the
sume._ The only difference is in tlie
editorials. The Yankee concern is full
of desponding and despairing editorials,
which ptonouuces our causo desperate,
ar.d say that McClellan is obliged to
take the city. These counterfeits nr«
no doubt sent North, and used in keep
ing up the popular delusion there.
Possibly, other Southern papers may
he counterfeited too. Was there ever
nation .so thoroughly base?
"No Body Hurt,” said Old Abe when
he had plunged the, country into civil
war. "No body hurt,” echoed his sa
traps, while they filled their coffer* with
profits and pickings from government
contracts. "Nobody liuit,” joined in
tlie stock jobbers and brokers, the bulls
and bears of Wall street, while they
were confidently looking forward for
the rich plunder of the soon to be sub
gated South. Wonder what, they think
now, with their grand army whipped
and demoralized, their government
bankrupt, anti gold at sixteen and exchange
at tuientg-eight per cent premium! —tsao.

Tho London Times on American Af.
fairs,
Tho London Times, in a loader on
American affairs, says: "Four, main
armies have advanced into Confederate
territory, half a dozen expedit ions have
fastened thomselves on the coast, yet
the South remain* unconq-iered. Ib is
demonstrated tliut the Fetferijls can
only effect their purposo by gigantic
expenditure, far more lavish than Ilia*
ot the pnst twelve months. Whut be
comes of the famous Declaration of In
dependence—of the theory that Gov
ernment derives its powers from the
consent of the governed! The North
now talks of conquest, confiscation, and
military colonies, with all the re-idhiess
of an Austrian Commandant, hut.un-
less the North cat: see that tlie policy
which is agreeable to wisdom anil jus-
4 dice is to let the South go peaceably, it
"must bring evils untold on itself, us
and on every . uropea. people.”
Tlitv same journal, in an. article on
the future supply of cotton, says: "If
all has not been dnt:o which should
Itsve been done in order to meet, the
threatened falling oil* in the supplies of
cotton, it is on itsnif, and not upon the
Government, that the manufacturing
interests should look for a loinedv.
Counterlett Confederate Notes.
We are informed, says the Confedera
cy, that counterfeit Confederate notes

to delect tlie spurious note, so the pub

Gen. Beaureoard.—We are reliably
informed by a gentleman from Mobile,
that Gen. Beauregard and family ure at

South Alabama. ho_ having obtained
leave of absence to visit his wife, who
is much indisposed ; and also to reottpe

tlie Fritioo of Wales, is about to he
married to the Princess Alexandria
Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise. Julie,
the eldest daughter of Christen, Duk
of Glueksburg. who is heir apparent to
the crown of Denmark. This lady was
born in 1844, and is now,, therefore,
about three years the junior of the
Prince. The present K'lig of Denmark
who is childless, is 54 years of ago, but
may be good for 30 years to'come.
Situation or our Army,—The Rich
mond Examiner, of Saturday, says: "It
is no longer a subject of doubt that is
has been determined to make such u
disposition of our forces as to bring
our lines closer to Richmond. General
Lee has returned to liis old headquar

DEPRECIATION or YANKEE TREASURY NOTES.
The Herald says:
The sudden and rapid depreciation
of Treasuij notes continues, and has
not touciioil u bottom. * Reason* of a
business character are given for this
fact, hut they do not roach the case.—
It is true that American-Securities are
sont over from Europe for sale, and
that foreigners having property here
nre converting it into gold. It is also
believed that the*war for the next
year will be as costly as for the past
Year, and that it must be sustained
by further issues of Treasury jiuner.—
But there is a reason behind all this,
to wit-: that-many of tho most intelli
gent people abroad believo that this
Fedoral Government is broken up and
cannot he .restored. At tho same time
that gold went up yesterday Stocks also
went up.
SERIOUS RIOT AT TOLEDO, OHIO.
A dispatch'to the Cincinnati papers,
dated Toledo', July 8th, says:
A riot has been going on here to

ENLISTMENT IN PHILADELPHIA.

The various regiments'Hn process of

exertion to fill their ranks to the requir*

under the late call for 300,000 more
troops. The authorities desire to have

are not such as to warrant the belief
that tho quota of Pennsylvania will be

Tlie New York Express of Thursday
afternoon, says:
This is the first day in this generation
that dry goods are not for sale. All th?
importers have declined to make sales
or name any price for their.goods, and
nil credits are at an end for tlie present.
Some of our jobbing houses have put
up a notice in their stores, tliut they
"decline all sales, except in small lots,”
a few pieces or so; and most of these
silk goods. They box up and await
the day when exchange will allow them
to know what they are worth. Tlie
same remaiks apply to all kinds of im
ported goods. Many orders for fanny
goods in Europe have been counter
manded, and nothing but a fow staples
are wanted. Tho high rate of duty,
and the premium on gold to pay for
the same, will drive many jobbers from
importing goods again. These are
strange times, when dry goods are not
for sale, aod when merchants who usu
ally "drum” so hard for trade, prefer
not to see the face of the buyer.

Gen. Harder and tub Arkansas raw
Recruit.— /in anecdote is told ot Gen.
Hardee; which shows, in a very amusing
light the kind of material out of which
an army ot volunteer soldiery is formed
About tl e beginning of the w-ir, the
General wits forming tlie nucleus of an
army in Southeast Missouri, and being
a great disciplinariun, was. very active
in teuching his men the rules and du
ties of a soldier’s lite. It happened
one night that a sentinel had bien
placed to guard some slon-s near tlie
General's headquarter*. Returning
home rather late from u lour of it.spec
tion. he passed the sentinel u few puces
frmn his d-wr, mid not being honored
with tlie usual jibluteof “present arms,"
said:.."Don't you know who Iain?”
No sir,” replied tlie uncouth Arjjnn
si in "who are you?" "I am Genei'al
Uni-dee, i.ir!” Wlieieupon the raw
recruit advanced a few j-aces, put his
hand out f»r a shake, and said in i
mow familiar lone: "My name, Gen
nil, i* Bill Dickerson, and I’m right
glud to make your nequuitunce 1 ’.’
Tlie General was too muoh amused
at the soldier’s inuoc nt manner to deal
narshly'witlj liiin. but quietly ixtinting
out wlint his duty was, he retired to
his cot—to muse, probably, on the trials
und troubles of manufacturing soldiers

BQy A gentleman who had been a
prisoner at Fort Macon, nnd remained
i n parole at Beaufort, got off from there
