Dear Courier ! “All quiet along the
linesmonotony reigns; even flags of
truce, tho appearance of Federal do-
sorters within our lines, or tho occa.
sional shelling of our camps, have ceas
ed to interest us. A spell of apathy
seems to have seized us, which but in
creases when we learn that action and
success is dominant everywhere but in
tho vicinity of tho battery crested
mountain, which looms up beforo us
“Investing an onomy” isnn exceedingly
dull operation, when it is not a thor
ough ono; for a long time wo were la
boring under tho impression that our
forces were surrounding tho enemy,
and that wo had thoroughly beseiged
them by throwing a force in thoir
front; that impression is now dispelled
and reconciling ourselves to tho faot
that tho Federals have a circuit of thir
ty miles to herein procuro corn and
cattle, wo patiently await the pleasuro
of tho enemy to skedaddle from the
Gap for othor considerations than tho
meagre condition of their commissnry
department.
Deserters by the sooro arrive in our
lines almost daily : they roport them
selves as hungry and disssalisfied. East
Tennesseans, tirod-of “Gap-ing,” and
and preferring to “let tho Union slido”
rather than submit to a further restric'
tion of their gastronomic privileges.
They state that the- supply of flour at
the Gap is almost exhausted, but that
tlioy have plenty of green corn and
fresh beef; that several regiments loft
there a few days ago, and that tho ono
my is engaged in blockading the roads
loading from Cumberland and Baptist
Gaps,
Front this and othor information, we
infer that the enemy liava boon expect
ing reinforcements and supplies, but
tlicso expectations having boon thwart
ed by the rocont brilliant achievement
of our forces under General Smith,
they nro now preparing to leave their
besoiged encampment, for a safer local
ity ; this they are doing by detail, and
in tho meunlimo tl.oy nro endeavor
ing to impede our speedy pursuit, by
blockading the roads leading into Ken*
tucky.
The whole Division is drawn up in
line of battlo every morning, nn hour
before dawn, and thus remain until
Old Sol makes his appearance from be
hind tile Eastern hills. A detachment
of the Cherokee Artillery, nud two or
three Regiments, are stationed at Bap
tist Gap, a few miles below this point.
A battalion of Cherokee Indinns-
from North Carolina, arrived here some
time .igo, and will provo useful ns a
Ir.rrorum la the mnny gangs of bush
whackers which prowl amid the moun"
lair, passes.
Ere this letter arrives your renders
.will liavo learned of tho triumphal
progress of Gen. Kirby Smith, in Ken
tucky, and of his appearance beforo
Cincinnati; we unticipnte, in conse
quence, that some important move
ment will be speedily inaugurated hero;
the condition of tho enemj at tho Gap
is a critical one, and Genoral Bragg will
probably take, caro of thoir expected
reinfoieements; ns for ourselves, Gen.
Smith may soon find it necessary for us
to pursue u more vigorous couro than
our present ineffectual ono.

Tho Lynchburg Virginian learns,
through a letter from Rev. XV. A Crook-
or, Superintendent of the Army Intel
ligence Office, himself now at Gaines
ville, that our loss in killed in tho ro-
oont bntlles, will not exceed 500, and
tho wounilcd, (most of them slightly)
roaches between 1500 and 1000. Mr.
Crooker bns ovory facility for arriving
at a correct, estimate. lie says that tho
great disparity botween our loss and
that of the Ynnkees is truly remarka
ble, and most astounding to .the enomy
He says that between fifty and a bun'
dred ambulances have been engaged
day and night, in removing tho Yan
kee wounded from Manassas, and up to
Saturday last 3,000 wounded still re
mained on tho fiold. Where Jackson
fought on Friday, the ground is cover
ed four deep with'Yankoe slain, tho
slaughter there being tho most terrible
of tho war. Tho very name of Jack*
so*, he says, is a terror to the foe. He
reports that our commissaries abo buy
an abundance of stores in Maryland,
and getting bacon for ten cts a pound.
Ho estimates the Yankee loss in killed
and wounded at 12,000, and says that
thoir whole army is utterly domoraliz.

MoDowell a traitor, and as for McClol

now. They have lost confidence in
.their officers, and conceive a high opin'

FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Sept. 14.—No n'ows of a
reliable character lias been received
from-the army in Maryland for several
days.
The New York Herald of tho 11th
contains nothing later from tho . Seat
of War, and merely mentions' tho re
port that Sewurd Will resign and accept
a foreign mission.
Augi sta, Sept. 15.—Tho Savannah
Republican of this morning, hns a let
ter from Lake City, Florida,dated 12th,
which says that tho Confederate batte
ry at St.John’s river, on tho 11th, re
pulsed two Federal gunboats, badly
riddled and crippled. Our loss one
man killed, and four sligtly wound
ed.
Cn attanooo a, Sept. 15.—In tolligonco
has (.been ^received by tho daily Robel
which says Buol has returned in forco
to Nashville, and stole botween ten'nnd
twelve thousand negroes, and working
them on the fortifications around
Nashvillo. Tho negroes aro starving.—
Many have escaped to thoir owners.
Lntgo meeting have been held by
Tennesseeans in Middle Tennessee.—
Tho country is fully aroused, it is ro-
solved never to allow tho enemy again
to control their State.
SSy-The Richmond correspondent of
tho Charleston Mercury says
Returned prisoners say tho Ynnkees
hold Jackson in greater terror than any
othor of our generals. Our informant
says ho heard two Yankees in Alexan
dria disputing over Jackson’s merits;
at last, tho Jackson man, as if to clinch
tho matter, exclaimed: “I tell you,
Jackson is tho greatost man in this or
any other country. As for our lighting
against him it’s useless. He made nil
these mountains round hero, knows ev
erything about eveivthing in tliis coun
try, and he is bound to whip us.’’ Tho
Yankees also speak of Ashby, with
reverence, and almost attention. They
sny ho was by for tho tondcrost and
most humane of all our Goncrnls to
their prisoners. .Speaking of Jackson,
reminds mo of his likenessln the South
ern Illustrated News, the first number
of which appeared Inst Saturday. Tho
engraving gives no bettor idea or the
man tlmn tho Chnndoo’s picture does
of SliakoBpoure—both have n kind of
bald face, soft, cally look. Tho news is
well printod on good paper, has a olov-
er, salutatory, and a thrifty, promising
look.
Sotno Yankees are employed in the
Commissary .Department at 75 cents a
day, cleaning bacon. Negros who work
with them always assume superiority
over them. Tho othor day a Yankee
seeing a nogro helping himself to ernok-
ers, bawled at him to let them alone.
Tho nogro looked at him defiantly, and
said: “You jes shot yo’ mouf. You
f ot nothin to do wid dose crackers.
>eso is Confed’rit crackers—dose is.”
Tho next day this same negro aooiden-
lally rnn a truok over tho toe ot a Ynn-
keo, who complained somo whnt. Tim
negro said, vory coolly, ‘.‘Tako keor of
you’ toe's. Toes is toes to dem whar
runs away urns'ly all do time.”
Riuumoxu, Sept. 15.—Tho Legisla
ture assembled to-day in an extra ses
sion.
Gov. Letcher’s messngo urges prompt
action to increase tho supply of salt
for tho peoplo of tho Stato ; ho advo
cates aggrossivo war against tho enemy,
and recommends that nn amnesty bo
granted to loyal citizons in those por
tions of tho Stato overrun by tho ene

them to abstain from aetivo participa
tion in tho war; lie .expresses himself
confident that tho usurped govern
ment under Kcrpont will soon ho over
thrown ; tho message denounces the
extortion of extortioners, and con
cludes with congratulations at tho
bright and glorious prospects before tho
country.
In tho Senate, tho military exemp
tion bill was discussed all day. A com
munication was received from the Pres
ident, informing the Sennte, in reply
to a resolution, that ho has jio authen

wero clear, liquid and expressive. Ho
then closed the lids, put his hands up
on his hips, gave a strain, then opened
tlio lids'and in place of his natural
eyes were two balls as of finely polish
ed steel. Ho closed tho lids again,
strained again, opened again and tlio
steel balls were gono, aril a pair of
burnished brass ones in ' their Btead.—

raising lie called to his son, and made
him stand before mo. Ho then asked
mo to inspeot very closely .the youth's
left side, to press my hand heavily up
on it, to rub it upward and downward,
and to bo sure that there was no lump
bolow the skin. I did as I was tola,
and could feel nothing but tho ribs.—
Tlio father then plaoed his finger on a
particular spot, and with an instru
ment like a lance made a slight punot-
ure, and got hold of apiece of coarse
shred, which he drew forth .bosmeared
at intervals with blood. Ho continued
to draw forth the thread, in one piece,
until thirty or forty yards lay upon the
ground, and said ho would go on as
long at 1 wished, or that I might draw
it out myself. I declared myself satis
fied, ana he then clipped tho thread
olose to the skin, gave tho place a rub,
and nothing remained to show that any
operation had been performed.

them, upon trial, equal to tho host of

ing the public.
Convalescent Soldiers. —More than a
thousand soldiers from tlio convalescent
camps around this city, paraded through
our streets yesterday, fully armed and
equipped, preceded by a fine band of

monotony and inactivity of hospital life
and the sick camp. Most of thorn look
