Dbar Cooihxr : Since 1 last wrote you
our Rogimcnt moved from Cnuston’s
Bluff, to tho piney woods some three
miles below the city, on Iju^Skiclaway
Shell Road. Tho ennip Ms not yet
been named. The object of tho moyo
was to secure a more healthy location ;
It may p 'ove to be such and I hope It
will, but 1 have tm fears, as wo are too
near somo swamps, and have failed so
far to get good water. Wo still have to
picket the Islands, which increases the
distance three miles. Tho duty falls
very heavy on those who aro on duty,
as thore arc bo many on tho sic k list —
there aro not over one hundred men
ablo for duty.
Our company bus lost another good
and faithful member, who was novor
known to bo out of place, dr failed to
do his wliolo duty. Wm. T. Jackson
died at tho convalescent camp at
Springfield, on the 27th of August. K.
W. Berryhill and . B. F. Weather left
on tho next day with his remains for
home.
Our Surgeons are both sick. The
Assistant Surgeon has been off duty
about two months. Dr. Clower is hav
ing chills and fever, and » not able to
give that attention to the sick which
they ought to have, yet ho is doing
moro than cot id be expected of him.
Ho is very attentive to all the calls
made on him, and is going to and fro
when ho ought to be in bis tent, lie
is a good fellow, and deserves the
thanks hot only of tho Regiment, but
of their friends at home. He docB eve-
tiling in his power to alloviato their
sufferings.

•Wo take the following items from the
Richmond Dispatch:
A member of Congress, who came
down on the Central trn.n yesterday
afternoon, says that the Baltimore Sun,
of Thprsday, had been received in the
Valley, iu which it was stated that our
forces had captured ct Manassas, 'on
Wednesday, five trains of cars loaded
with provisions, and thnt Inter on the
same day ilvo othei trains, on hoard of
whioh were somo two thousand Yankee
troops. This affair was commented on
by the Ynnltoe press as very discied'»ta
bio t# their commander, and somo
hnrsh reflections as to his fitness for his
position indulged.
Our own account of this affair re
ports that a portion of our cavalry had
advanced on tho Orange and Alexan
dria railroad to Bull Run bridge, about
five milos beyond Manassas, and having
burned tho bridge continued their ad
vance to Dye’s (Station, where they con
cealed themselves, and arrested the
approach of a number of trains of
which they had previously received in
formation. After tho trains passed tho
concouled position of the cavalry the
tract was tovn up behind them. When
llioy reached the bridge, the officers
on board finding that something was
wrong, determined to roturn to Alex
andria, but before backing for they
found tho track torn up, and tho.ir re
treat effectually intercepted. The oav-
Hiry then approached in superior num
bers, and the enemy surrendered with
out, firing a gun. The number of pri
soners reported captured agrees with
the statement-of the Sun, being esti
mated at 2,000, together with all the
officers, regimental and company, and
a quantity of arms and cmniunition
which were being conveyed to General
Pope. Alter this brilliant ufl'ait the
cavalry returned to Manassas, without
sustaining the loss of a single man.
Some fiftoen hundred to two thousand
Yankee prisoners were yesterday be
tween Kupidun Station and Gordons-
ville, and may be expected in this city
to day. It is supposed that thesd are
tho prisoners captured at Dye’s Station
by our cavalry.
Desertion or Unionists.—Throe hun
dred ami sixty Union men from Pier-
point’s dominions joined Gen. Loring a
tew days since, and our intelligence is
that these deluded men now see the
error of their wuys, and are daily flock
ing in crowds to our standard.
Arrest of Deserters.—Thirty-eight
deserters were arrested upon the arri
val ot the Tennessee ours at Lynchburg
on Thursday. They were a purt ot
“Captain” St. Martaiu’s company,
which was disbanded by Gen. Floyd
some time since, and afterwards formed
into another company -and attached to

also disbanded. -They arrived on the

Tho special correspondent of tho
Cincinnati Inquirer, under date of
August 4th, gives tbo following. The
“running” part, towards tho close of
tho artielo'is a first rato lie, but tho
last paragraph is superlatively sub
lime
Tho rebel army rondo two attacks,
one from the right nnd one from the
loft; both wero equally determined and
fierce, but the one on tho right was by
far tho shortest and most magnificent.
After driving in our skirmishers on tiie
right, (Co. E, from New Unmpshiro
Sharspshootors) tho rebels shelled us
terribly. For an hour it was hell per
sonified, but to one who has never been
under fire of batteries, shooting these
most infernal of all contrivances, shells
it is an utter waste of tinio to attempt
to convey a realizing sense of what tho
words words “being shelled” mean. All
at Onco tho bombardmont ceased and
an ominous silence ensued. From ex
perience wo knew what was coming,
and anxiously gazed at the woods to
see from what point they would emerge.
Every nerve was braced for tho coining
hand-to-hand deadly struggle. In a
moment, as it were, tho woods on the
tight were filled with a dense mass of
hSman beings, and in another moment
along steady lino advanced flimly nnd
quickly into tho open space. What
daring 1 What madness! Infantry
charging immense battorics ot a dis
tnneo of half a mile, ovor a level plain,
raknd by nearly forty cnniion. Throw
ing asido all aid from their own cannon
aud cavalry, thoy desperately formed
on ah open plain, and pit ted themselves
ngainst our infnntiy, cannon and caval
ry. It wns sublime—and forgetful of
all else save their boundless ceurnge
and during, 1 swung iny hat nnd olieer-
ed till tiie tenrs run from my eyes.
Tho moment they hove in sight,
twelve parrot guns and four largo how-
zers begun the dreadful work of death
nnd destruction ; covered with dust,
whole companies, as it were, going
down at every discharge, tho cannon
playing quicker and faster; still (hey
closed up their shattered runks, and
advanced further and furl her into that
awful arch of ceatnin tenth ; shot and
shell, canister nnd grape mowed them
down, yet, firmly ns ever did the vete
rans of Napoleon, they advanced and
fullered not. Already tiie remnant
lmd readied so uoai that the loud, dear
lones of the officers could be distinctly
heard, nqd the butteries' seumod doom
ed. Thousands were killed, but hun
dreds survived. The guns wore doom
ed. 1 held my breath, when lo 1 right
from under their faces, iu the long
glass, came a volley from our gallant
men, wlio up to that time had laid
concealed in a little ravine, or .rather
ditch; Flesh and blood could stand no
moro. They broke arid fled, and our
men lay down again, while tho terrible
cannon hurle.d destruction into tho
fleeing mass. Threo-fourths of that

Arrival of Prisonets.—Sixty pri
soners wero yesterday brought down on
tho Central train, captured a few days
since near Wurrenton. Of tho whole
number there was not one willing to
acknowledge himself a commissioned
officer. They say that se/oral thousand
more will be along in a short time, ns
they aro all getting weary of tho service.
They wero pretty well supplied with
counterfeit money,- most of which was
on the oorporiition of Richmond.—
Among them was a youth of about
fifteen years of age, whose dress indi
cated nnything but a bountiful ward

The Spoils.-I.nrge Capture of Sup
plies.
All Northern accounts admit that our
army captured an immense quantity of
supplies, <fcc. The corresporident of tho
N. Y. Tribuno writes:
Tho amount of property fallen inlo
tiie hands of the rebels at Manassas is
immense—several trains henvily laden
with stores, ten first class locomotives,
fifty thousand pounds of -bacon, one
thousand bcrrels of beef, two thousand
barrels of flour, aud a large quantity of
oots and corn. A bakery which was
daily turning out fifteen thousand
loaves of hrea.l wns also destroyed.
Next to Alexandria, Manassas was prob
ncly tho largest depot established for
the Army of Virginia.
A correspondent of the Herald writes
as follows:
Tho idea we had indulged in hero,
that tiie enpturo of Manassas wns only
a successful raid by a body of rebel guer
rillas, is now dissipated. Jackson
again occupies Manassas in force. He
lias oaptuied and destroyed a vast deal
of property—how much it is impossible
to say ; but this much is known : there
are eleven locomotives and eighty-four
cars beyond tho break. .The Bull Run
Bridge is destroyed, as aro two or throo
otherslin tho vicinity.
J86T Deoisive battles are usually
fought.by a very small proportion of
tho entire foice. At Austerlitz the
French numbered .80,000 men, while
tho strength of the Empire ivas 051,000.
At Jena. 120,000 French only were on-,
gaged. At Friedlnnd 80,000 French de
cided the fate or the war, although
there were in Poland, nearly 300,000
French soldieas, .while tlio strength of
tho.Empire won double that figure and
.nore. At Wngram.-iSO 000 or 160,000
men fought, while .Napoleon., laid cer
tamly at lei'st 800,-000 men Under arms

Our Indian Allies.
In May, 1861, Gen. Albert Pike, of
Arkansas, was appointed by President
Davis, | Commissioner to the^liidlan
tribes, whoso teritories_R.ro' eontiguous
to Toxas and ArkunStis, and conferred
upon him the most am pie powers to
conclude treaties with them. I n tho
summer and fall of 1861, Gen. P. con
cluded treaties, on the most liberal - ba
sis to our Government, with tho follow
ing named tribes, to wit: Chorokoes,
Creeks, Choctaws, Ciiickasaws, Semi-
noles. Osagcs, Cados, Anodakos and
Wnchitos.
By the terms of tho treaties the tribes
bound themselves to “furnish all of
their men capable of bearing arms,”
to aid tho Confederate States in their
war with tho Federal Government, and
this alliance to last wliilo Water runs
nnd grass grows—oil condition tlmt the
Indian forces shall not bo removed be
yond the boundaries of their own teiT’i
torios without their consent.
In compliance with the tonns of
these territories, thoy iiavo now 9,000
warriors in tho field, 6,000 of whom
aro mounted, They tiro all armed with
tho rifle or doublo-burrel shot-gun, and
iiavo thus tkr armed and equipped
themselves. Thoy mo represented to
bo provident with their rations, nnd
■obey orders With alacrity.
Tm Indian territory proper, lies duo
north of Texas and south and west of
Arkansas, embracing an urea ot 90,000
square miles. A military recognoisanco
of the country reoontly made by Cant.
S. J. Mackey, of South Carolina, of tho
Corps of Engineers, develops tho fact
that it abounds in cOppel' lead iron,'
coni und salt.
The Cherokees, Cliocktaws, Creeks,
Ciiickasaws, are slave owners. The
chief products of their own soil aro cot
Ion, tobacco, wheat, corn, oats, and bar
ley, and thoy own vast herds of cattlo,
horses, and sheep.
• Gen. Pike Ims recently concluded
treaties with the Apaches, Kioways.nnd
CutnanchoR, and will soon ett'ee.t an alli
ance with tho Ariipahoes, Clieyonnes
and Navuiiocs. Our Cainun'clio and
Kiowuy allies now hold the main Smo
ky Hill route to tho Pike’s Polik gold
region, and all the routes from tho Up
per Missouri to New Mexico. They
Iiavo utterly destroyed tho vast com
merce of the Western plains which tins
employed hitherto twenty millions of
Yankee capita). . These Indians are the
privateer of tho great prairie stretching
away between the Missouri river to tho
Rocky mountains.
The importance of retaihing the alii
auce with those Indians admits cf no
^question ; otherwise wo would require
uii army of '30,000 men in Northern
Texas and Western Louisiana. Presi
dent Davis acted with wise forecast in
selecting General Pike, the jurist and
statesmen, to mako these tieaties. He
is umjostiohnbly’the right man in tlio
right place.
The tiviity concluded with ' the Cn
niMKthitft, is important iiv many vw.
It is the first treaty -that formidable
tv-.'.-'..us'ever mude with tlio yvbite
man. It- stipulate* '.perpetual 'nriiity
with the Confederate Suites,' aniltheSlutc
of 1 exat. This treaty lias been kept- In
good faith by borb parties for the last
eight months, beijig tho longest period
ot peace ever known to exist between
the Texans and their onco troublesome
neighbors. For tho first time in the
history of Texas that State lias no
troops in tho field to protect her fron
tiers against the incursions of tho Cn-
lnanclics. When it.is considered that
this nation can bring 3,500 warriors
against us or our enemies, (who can
copo with United States dragoons !n
equal numbors,) and that warlike Indi
ans invaribly select a timo when tho
whiles are at war with each other to
prosecute a campaign ngainst their
ncurest neighbors, the importance of
this peace will bo appreciated. The
Texan now herds his droves security in
tho midst of hands of armed savages
who formerly stampeded his cattle in
tho very heart ot Texas.
