Camp 8tb Ga. Reuijient,
Rapid Ann River,
November 10th, 1862.
Dear Cot kikr ! At six o’clock yester
day evening, orders were issued to tho
brigade, to cook tbreo days rations of
bread and of meat, and bo ready to
move at day light this morning. Con
sequently lust night through our catnp
tho busy hum of earnest voices was
everywhere heard, white calm but
earoful preparations were being mado
to provide against hunger, on tho ex
pected march. Experience is said to
bo llie best school master, and eighteen
months’ service bus taught this regi.
mont something in regard to tho least
pract ical method of carrying out orders
to prepare rations and be ready to
tnovo. When we wore “green,” noise,
busllo and hurried confusion followed
the issuance of suoh orders, and the
thing w.is over done, and badly too.—
After the lapse of a few months, tho
men learning that orders to “get ready”
wore not half the time followed by
those to “move,” they became slack,
and, instead of making an excess of
preparations, made noue at all. But
being caught a few times in this “fix,”
and nearly staiving on long and fatigu
ing marches, they have finally settled
down on the conviction that it is best
to get “ready” whenever ordered to
do so. 11 may be a curious fact to the
“inexperienced,” that men, while on
severe and continuous fatiguo duty, do
not desire moro than nbout half the
food they crave, whan lying about camp
and . tawing but little exercise. If,
however, the march is only ten or
twelve miles a day, the men will eat
in a single day wlmt would do them
very well for three successive days, If
they marched twonty miles or more,
each day.
Ri-villo was beaten this morning at
4 o’clock, and at daylight tents were
struck, wagons loaded, and everything
reatly to start. Up to 10 o’clock last
night Uei>. Anderson, even, did not
know which way we were expected to
move, but now, (9 o’clock) it is gener
ally believed I hat wo’are to go—if we
movo at all—towards Orange 0. H.
“Wrap-jackets”' is just now the
game tiiat attracts the attention of the
listless crowd, and the way the switcli
es of two combatants near -hero, wrap
and slash carries conviction, that they
will carry murks for several days to
come.
At 9 o’clock the order to move was
countermanded, tho baggage was
brought back, tents pitched and the
men commenced to eat their*rations.
At 9J p. m., another order was receiv-
1 to move immediately, and in accor
dance, with this, in li half hour tents
were agnip struck, wagons loaded, and
tho Regiment in line ready to march.
At 3J o’clock we moved off in the di
rection of Orange C. II. Which way
after passing there, I cannot tell, hut
probably toward* Fredericksburg. It
rains stowly.
Capt. Yarbrough and Goo. Hutchings
arrived yesteulay.
Thursday morni.no, Nov. 20.—We
did not get so fur ns Orange C. H.-last
night, but bivouaoed 1 j miles frum
town, at the same place wo had slopped
at twice before—last March and two
weeks since. Wo were ordered to be
ready to inarch at daylight, but. it iB
now 7} o’clock and wo are not yet or.
dered into t line. It is rumored that
this movement is a general one and
that the whola -army is falling back
whilo the enemy are advancing by way
of Frederiek*>'urg. It is still lowering,
9J o’clock.— Wo aro now passing
through Orange’ C. U., and tho head of
the oolumns has turned down the
Fredericksburg road. M. D.

met in Macon on the 21st inBt., and

Three young ladies announce through
the Raleigh Standard . that they will
rovided olothos for three soldiers, as
mg ns the war continues, if thosoldiors
whom they select will consent, to marry
them when tho war is over. They wish
to secure homes for themselves in
future, ns their own homes aro in tho
hands of tho Yankees. Hero is a good
chanco for soldiers to procure clothing
during the war, and wives after it is
ended.
Rough on Butler.—The Wilmington
Journal, notwithstanding the yellow fev
er in that town, makes the following
hard fling at old Butler:
If the devil don’t get Butler, we might
as well have no devil; and if he don’t
put him in the bottomless pit, there is
mo pse in having a pit.

Mr. Salvage :—Tho great question
betwten bread, and whiskey is sottled.
Indeed it was a question bolweon the
starvation of soldiers’ wives and children<
and the drunkenness of officers and sol
diers in the army. Though this mea
sure R not as good as I could have
wished it, yet its good effect will be
felt by the thousands of destitute wo
men and children spread broad-cost
over the entire Stuto. I now give the
whiskey question a hearty shake of tho
hand, and bid it. good bye for the pros-
cnl—turning my thoughts and atten
tion to the equally weighty matters of
taxing the cormorant, speculator and
extortioner, to purehase, for the suffer-
‘ng wives and children of our brave
and iruo men in tho army, who are al
most naked and barefooted, and who
nro daily exposing their lives and health
to tile sword and disease, that breud
which tho whiskey bill has saved, and
to make them disgorge that which they
have extorted from the widow and tho
orphan, tho necessitous, weak mid help
less. In this effort I shall oxposo my
self to the imprecations of the money
lover, and him who can mako this,
cruel war, an ocoasion, to wrench from
the necessities of others, that “filthy
lucre,” whioh can neithor make him
happy in this life, nor the life to oome.
Yea, from him who while his poor neigh
boi is on the bloody field fighting tho
battles of bis country, he is crouching
like the vulture, in places of safety-
watohing for tiie last broom, and rondy
to pluck it from the bravo and true
man’s wife and children— be it so. If
successful, I shall meet tho approvul
ot’my conscience ami that of good men
everywhere, and restore to tho Buffor
ing and destitute, that which lias boon
wrongfully taken from them. I shall,
therefore, use my overy effort to reach
much of thoso ill-gotton gains, and
restoro them to the rightful owners.—
I feel satisfied tiiat this tax bill will
pass, but it may not come up to its
proper standard. Then tho extortion
bill: This bill will pass in some shape
or othor—I think in a tolerable hoaithy
shape. These bills.(as did the whiskey
bill,) have violent enemies and warm
friends, but I think a majority of the
ponnol hod no interest in stealing tho
tow. We shall soo If these moasures
can get through in a healthy shape,
and my woman’s b'll, mid Mr. Schley’s
dog law, I am ready to come home, nr.d
content never to be a Legislator again.
There have been two investigating
commit toes appointed—one to invest!
gate an alleged fraud in the purchase
of a largo lot of army shoes from the
Penitentiary—the other to investigate

Tho battle upon the uncohstitution

liguThe outrage committed by tho
Federal* north of Grant! Junction aro
without parallel, even in the history
of tho depredations of this war. They
were so flagrant that tho Northern
reporters and correspondents <1° not at
tempt to conceal them. A despatch
from Cairo, dated tile 9tli, says.
On the inarch to Corinth the troops
set fir* to the fields and fences, which
communicated the house, etc. Olliers
tried to chock the men, but too lalo.
Groat destruction of property ensued.
The route of the army could bo trucked
by tbooinders, blackened stumps, and
remains of dwellings, bartiB and fences,
fired maliciously. Houses were en
tered and pillaged by lawless stragglers,
and indignities heaped on families,
without regard to ago or sox. Orders
were given to punish severely all s»l-
diers guilty'. Gen. Grant was furious,
and other Generals no loss nngry.’
fiiirTho famous debating club of
Cambridge (Eng.) University, (the Un

during two evenings. The question
was put thus: “That the Cause of the
North is the Cause of Human Progress.”

vote of 117 to 33. Earl Russell’s eldest
son speaking with tho majority against
it.

The Examiner of the 17th instant,
quotes gold nt $2,25 premium. It'says
that thero is little doing in the article

Tobacco was going up with heavy saleB,
Fine manufactured is sold at 50c@l,40
per pound. It sayB:
Much or the tobacoo now offered at
auction has been put up for tho pur.
poso, and the buyers, in most cases,
persons ignorant of the rrticle, who
by tbo prospeot of speculation, have
boon lured from their regular business,

Wood was getting far beyond reach.
Oak was at $19 per cold and pine $17.
Of flour the Examiner lias the follow
ing romarks:
Flour has declined a dollar a barrel
in tho last three days. Wo quotosuper
fine at $21; extra superfino $23, and
family $25, and there is no good reason
for its standing at these prices. The
article has been run up solely by the
Government and the speculators.—
There is moro breadstuff's in Virginia
to-day, in proportion to the numbers to
be fod, than at any time previous to
the war, when Virginia exported annu
ally from ten to twelve millions of
bushels of . wheat and flour. Nearly
every largo warehouse in this town now
contains more or less flour bought at
$10 per barrel, and being hoarded for
still more enormous profits that can
now be obtained, by benevolentoitizens,
many of whom have noccutly been in
agonies over tho barefooted condition
of our troops. It seems to be forgot
ten that while the poor soldier is bare
footed in the field, his wife and chil
dren may suffering for bread at heme.'
Writing Paper.—A sample of letter
paper, manufactured at the “Bath Mill,”
near Augutas, has boen shown us, of the
■quality denominated “Confederate pa-
E er,” which though not so fine as could
o desired, in the absence of tho block
ade, yet nnwers every purpose. With
the specimon noticed was also a lot of
lotter envelopes manufactured in Au
gusta, of a very neat and substantial
kind. These are home products, and
should be encouraged by the Southern
people.—MilUdgeville Recorder.
A Public House Without Sheets.—
The Alabama House of Representatives
yesterday decided by a nearly unani
mous vote, that Christopher Columbus
Sheets, af Winston county, is no longer
worthy to occupy a seat in the Legisla
ture as a representative of anv portion
of the people of Alabama. The eviden
ces of his complicity with the enemy
were complete, and it was therefore due
to tho dignity of the House that ho
should be expelled.—Montgomery Adver

Adousta, Nov. 25.—Tho Richmond
Enquirer learns that on Sunday about
one hundred Yankees came up from
Williamsburg as far as Darhamsville,
captuiing some oi our pickets at James
Gate, and then proceeding down the
Diascond road, they captured four out
of seven stationed below tho bridge.—
Continuing their successful raid, they
ctuno upon two pickets from the same
post who had boon in senroh of forage,
and deliberately shot both of them
without even demanding their surren
der. Having succeeded in capturing
12 boises. killing two and making pri
soners of six of Col. Shingler’s com
mand, the Yankees made their way
rapidly back to Williamsburg.
Richmond, Nov. 24.—Tho Enqurer
says the debt of tbo Government at
this time may thus bo slated in round
numbeis: Treasury notes currency,
$25,000,000 millions; interest bearing
Treasury notes, $80,000,000;. call loans,
$60,000,000; funded debt, $14,000,000.
-Total, $464,000,000.
Tho Examiner reviews the naval
preparation of the North, and says we
must look to oiir foundries. We can
match their naval armament with our
batteries on shore. We may expeot to
liold our soaooast against thofleots of
Yankeedom. It will bo of but little
importance that we cannot compete
with tho enemy on the high ho&b so
long ns we can hold him at bay on our
coast.
Tho Whig, in an nrtiole on recogni

deceive uursolves by believing that the
stoppage of a few factories or the throw

change its polioy and break the blook-

The recent Ructions in Altssoun.
Tho Northern papers appear to bs
congratulating themselves prematurely
oh the results of the late eleotion in
Missouri, as indicative of the change
of opinion in that State as regards
slavory. The abolitionists had a small
majority favorable to the polioy of
emancipation. The following state
ment sets that hope at rest;
There is, gross misrepresentation in
olaiming the result of this oleotion as
an exposition of popular sentiment in,
Missouri. According to the last census
returns this stato had a voting popula
tion of 170,000. Of this hardly 80,000
voted at the recent election; the re
maining 90,000 refusing to vote because
they did not recognize the legality the of
election, and because- preferring their
allegiance to the South, they would not
tako the oath to support the Constitu
tion of the’United States, whioh wo*
mado the oonditio'n of their voting.—
Of tho 80,000 votes that were cast,
there was but a bare majority—some
46,000—for emancipation. This m not
a very considerable increase ever . the
number of those who favored emanci
pation previous to the late eleotion. -
