Bivouac of 8tu Ga. BEn., near 1
MAitmsnuRa, Vn„ Sept. 27,1862. j
Dear Courier s—Ono week ago to
morrow morning our Brigado arrived
at this place, and nothing “here or
hereabouts,’’ has since occurred, thut
would bo likely to interest'your renders.
Tho stragglers liavo been gradually
coining in, and tlio weary and brokon
down havo been taking the much need
ed rest,. Our Begimcnt now reports
150 men for duty, and tlio Brigade
1,057. '
Tho siglit of the “old-Kiglitli” is now
saddening', yet enoouraging to ovory
well-wisher to our cause'. Many of the
men are without shoes (these uro al
lowed to go to .the rear,), or change of
olothing, nnd even the clothes tunny
of them have are macli- tho worso
for wear, and if troops have ever seen
severe service, than our Brigado lias
since the 8th of March last, and it lias
had. its effect upon even the hardiest
in ranks. Hard marching, exposure,
indifferent and insufficient rations ami
severe lighting will “tell,” as the row
dies say, on the best of men. Yester
day every officer now on duty in tlio
Begiment signed a petition to tlio Sec
retary of War te tlio effect that tlio
8th G i. Regiment should bo assigned to
post duty at some location in Ga., and
its place here bo supplied by some full
Rcgiihent now doing that duty in the
State, that has never yet been in the
field, so us to give the Eighth a chance
to rccuporato its men and fill up its
brokon ranks. This seems to ho a very
just und reasonable request, and it
would doubtless bo of great advantage
to tlie service if Mr. Randolph would
grant it. Our Regiment does not wish
to shirk duty—its history provos the
contrury—or get out of active service,
except for such n short period,
three or four months, as will
them to do it efficiently. There is sucli
a tiling ns killing the life nnd flro of n
rogiment long before the lust man is
killed, it would seem that our officers
huvo been trying the experiment on
tho a Eighlli, to 3ce just how much a
body ot' troops could endure and “stand
up to it.” Since being in the service
the Begiment lias lost, in battle, in
killed, wounded and missing four butt
ered und forty eigu t- men ; from disease,
say
enable
they had tlint soldiers could use rea
dily.
At 2 o’clock yesterday. orders were
issued to Longstrcot’s corps to provide

morning, it is now 9 o’olock and
our Regiment has only moved about
1 of a mile unto the road and stacked
arms. No intimation has been given
as to which way wo nro to go, but tlio
general impression is Iliac wcaro bound

Somo amusiug si glits nnd incidents
wero witnessed by our troops in Mary
land. As they marched into Ilagars-
town—a pluoe of some 5,000 or 6,000
inhabit.'.nts—an old man was seen
standing out on bis piazza" looking pule
with excitement nnd his lips trembling,
as lie saw Brigade after Brigado file
past, witli Confederate flags flying nnd
tho bands playing ‘ sesesh” tunes, nin
ny paroled Yankees were standing
around nnd lots of citizens who evi
dcntly hated tho siglit of our forces.—
Tlie old gent looked at our troops
then at tlio despised Yankees nnd his
tory neighbors, as if lie was fully con
scious tlmt would inform against him
should thoy over liavo an opportunity.
But his oxciteinont increased ns our
troops came pouring in, and at last
with a trembling, yet strong voice, be
exclaimed, “I can't stand jt any longer
— Iiussaii for Jeff' Davis and tlio whole
Southern Confederacy." Such install
ccs wero however rare. Tlie Southern-
rightsmen generally, it is said, seemed
nfrnitl to make any demonstration
joy or approval. A largo • portion of
tho people being Unionists, nnd our
movement into that Stato being rognr-
dqd rather as an experiment, llioy
fenred lost they should again fall into
Federal hands and then bo made to
suffer for any sesesh sympathies they
might exhibit to our troops, All pri
ate rights wore serupuously regarded
l>y our troops, and the Union men re
ceived as lull protection as those who
favored our cause. As our army ap
pronchotl many Union man fled, but
v/hon thoy learned they would not ho
harmed, they returned, and some of
them begtyjwrovon uoisy in their con
demnation of tlie “rebellion.” Cur
band serenaded some ladies, and after
playing ■ several of oar tunes, 0,10 °f
them-asked the band if they would
play the “Star Spangled Banner.”
This was asked in rather a faltering
voice nnd tho leader pretended not to
hear it. But wa,s’nt that a stunner ?

Tho Riolimond Dispatch of tho 2d

From our Army.—We liavo little to
add to our report of yesterday. Jjjilii te^
ferenco to our own and tire army of
tlie enemy, now confronting each other
in tlio lower Valley. There socins to

already published, that tlio enemy lias
erossed tlie Potomac in strong force,
and tliut lie is nor; menacing tlio posi-
taken up by the forces under Ucn. Lee.
Pussengers who arrived from Staunton
last night state that all tho recent in
formation received at that point indi
cates a battle ut an oai-ly day.
Our army is said l* liavo greatly im
proved in condition since its withdraw
al from Marylaud, and is now much
stronger than when it crossed tlie Po
tomac. Tho men evince an anxiety to
engage the invaders, and little doubt is
entertained of a decided triumph when
the grand conflict does ocour.
From Warrenton.—A number of our
sick nnd wounded, who wero captured
by the Yankees at Warrenton on Mon
day, nnd afterwards paroled, arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon, 'ihey
stato that tlie enemy’s cavalry, about
one tliuusaiid strong, dashed into tlie
town on Monday morning. They rep
resented that they were supported liy
fifteen hundred infantry, but tho infan
try supports never made their appear
iinc'o. We had no force at Wnrrcriloii,
and, of course no resistenco was made.
The number of sick and wounded par
oled was about eight hundred.
Fiiom Kanawha.—Tlio bank, tho
large hotel, (tlio Kanawha House,) and
a few ether buildings, wero destroyed
