Dot this little ser- *.he given to gallant men wh* are ting their lives for us. ‘Oapt. J. W. Langston, of Smith’s on,‘ returned on Thursday lust! IcouuuNtcsftn. Ma. Ebitos : Has our peopls grown weary, or have they lost that interest they onoe fait in the success nf our arms. Why the inquiry f. Because wo do hot see that effort being made to aid tho government in clothing tho army this rail, that we did last. Perhaps tho peopto think the necessity is not so great. Permit me if auch is. the impression, to assure them that they, aro sadly mistaken. I do not believe that any army was over in groller need Of clothing and every other oeuifort, than oure. I know that much is ex pected from the eupplies brought out from Kentucky, and without giving fuels or figures. 1 will venture the pre diction, that the stores brought out by tten. Bragg will not furnish outfits for ono fifth of his army. It is vsry hard for persona at home to realise the faot, that our soldiers are actually suf fering for clothing, yet such is the fact. Many of our breve men are barefoot ed, but fen of them have blankets, and none of them more than on*.— Thousands of them arc .wearing tho seme shirts, which they wore into Ken tucky, and hare no change, and while they are thus destitute in the army, their families (if poor,) are suffering almost as much at home. I have never toll the full force ef the appellation— poor soldier—un’il now. The goeernment ought t* clothe the army—but the Goeernment hoc failed t* d* it—and thW failure on the part of the Government to Go it* duly, does aot make the sufferings of the soldier any less. Many have done Well, ether* have done nothing, or worse then nothing. They have pat, by their thirst for gain, the necessaries of life beyond the reach ef the poor soldier or hi* family. This is th* class, end a very numer ous one, that Las become rich upon the ruin of their country, for indeed, they have\w*H nigh ruined the country.— This is.the class that is leudgr in their denunciations of officers, teen and .everything else in the army, that does not exaelly suit them. They keep a sharp lookout after every ono in th* aimy, and if an officer or soldier is permitted to come home, (and none can come without permis sion who regard their reputation,) to look after their families, they are very curious te k now why tie is away from hi* post, when he intends to return, Ac. They iiavo but two objects in life—one to draw money (bWd money if you please) out ef the people—tn* other to avoid conscription—and many of them were original tecestitnitls. But my object was not to find fault, neither was it to make an appeal in be half tho soldier. I have no appeal to make, for the sooner those who stay ui home learn that what they contribute to the soldier is not given, (but dis charging a solemn obligation) the bet ter. It is the soldier who gives—he gives up the society of dear wife end children— a sacrifice which would make cbm* of the stay-at-homes, if called upon to make it, at least a little more charitable—ia a word, he gives up every comfort, and if lie is poor, (as mast of as ere,) ho becomes poorer, for it is tho soldier’s family that fils the coffers ef til* accursed speculator. 1 aay accura *d, because they' aro doing more to subjugate the South than the Yankees could ever d*. Citizens, your army suffers to-day for every comfort which you enjoy, console yourselves no longer wilh ;tlie remark that tho governrannt ought to cloths the army. That doe* the poor ragged shivering sentinel, when exposed at the hour ef midnight to the yade northern blast, but. little good. I would not be misunderstood. I know that there are patriots at home, good and true men, who net.only give up their meant, hut their prayers and sweet words*! comfort, and oh 1 how precious they ere to tho weary, heart-sick soldier, May God bless this class, end may their example constrain many more to go and do likewise, is th* earnest, prayer of A Soldi**.

He never faltered When his service were required—whether in the camp or by the couch of ids sick and suffering comrades, his conduct always marked nien at the obliging friend, the humane physician and the faithful soldier.

He was born in Appling oounty, Geor gia ; served ilirougliuot the Florida war under Gen. Taylor, as a Lieutenant, comminuting the 2d U. d. Dragoons. He was taken pris juer in Mexico » day er two before th* battle of Falo Alto, was released and fought at Monterey. He was at Vera Cruz, ^erro Gordo, and in all the battles in the vicinity of Mex ico. Fiir bit skill and gaihintry lid was twice bicveiod. He was commisioned some yeais ago ' by the U. S.

Hardee is a wid ower, that he it noted for his suavity ef inunners, as for his skill and courage as a soldier. In all the relations of life, his conduct is characterised by the gen erosity and by the exsreise of all these kindly sympathies which make the soldier a gentleman. Siiprraddtni to all t liis, Gen. Hardoo is a finished schol ar, ond surely wo may bow add that he does boner to the position which he fills, MV*P. W. A., writing to th* Sayann nnh Republican from Winchester, Va. ( says: Tho health of the army is good. On ly three sr four deaths 'have occurred among tlie small pox patients,, and the disease is not spreading. If .supplies of shoes, socks, blankets and clothing can be had ia time, (hero need be no uausu of uueasiness, in regard to the health of thetroop* this- winter. It is of the highest importance that these supplies should be an pie and timely, especially shoes uhd. socks, without which it is impossible fur a man to live in » region whioh i» visited with al ternate rains and snows throughout.the winter. L-arning that considerable uneasi ness is felt in Charleston, Savannah and Mobile for tlie safety of those cities; 1 made enqniry yi etorday of a gontl, m«n who is likely to be well informed as to the intentions of the Government. He assured me, in reply, tlmt as far as he could learn, every disposition is felt by tlie President and Secretary ef War to defend thoso cities to tlie lost, and that every effort would be nude to savetheni from tho fate of New Orleans and Mem phis. The formidable preparations now making in the navy yards of the United States, induce the belief that the enemies’ chief reliance fur tha cap ture of those important ports is an at tack by water. Should he fail in that, or should he change bis purpose and •end out a heavy co-operating land force, it would not be difficult, with proper energy, to throw an army down on'the coast to meet him. The iron monster "Ironsides,” about which so much has been said by the Federal ureas, jg believed here to be a failure, in that it is not seaworthy, and has been so pronounced by tbs officer *p pointed to oommand her. The same may be (aid of the Monitor and other like craft, which, though formidable enough in smooth waters, are unfit to •neounter the perils of theses.
