the double distilled essence of ineffable

Editorial Correspondence.
Caui 1 8th Ga. .Reg. 1
near Fredericksburg, Jap. 9th, ’63 J
Dear Ooumiti:—Gen. W. Montgom
ery Gardner, when Lieut. Colonel of
our regiment, in giving ouo of his first
lectures on army discipline, said' that
fighting was among the least of a soldier's
duties. This was said when ho was al-
mostan cntii’cstraugor to the command,
and was received by the t’ebote, so anx
ious for a fight, with a contemptuous
"pugli,” of incredibility. But now,
wliqn be has come to be regarded as
the father of our soldior 11 Co, because
he led us jn our first battle, his few say
ings—for he is an officer of rather reti-
centive habits—are regarded as rich
jewels of praotical wisdom, and, together
with many ,others, we have lived to prov°
tho truth of tho remark aboyo quotod.
It is remarkablo how ardont the attach
ment of soldiers to tholr successful Gen
erals becomes, and the more terrible the
conflicts they lead them through, and
the greater their own sufferings tho
warmer aro their affections and the
greater ie their admiration for the man
whoso orders they have obeyed. In
consideration of this fact as it really
exists in a groat army, it is not strange
that governments have, in times of rev
olutions, been jealous of tho powor of
successful Military chieftains. But to
return to the first idoa of the compara
tive little fighting a soldier has to do.—
Our regiment has been in ten regular
pitched battles in about twenty months,
or on mi average ono battle every two
months. Though this is considerable
more fighting than has been done by
tho average of regiments in tho Con-
fodonito army, yot oven this affords u g
long intervals ot dull, monotonous camp
life, that drags heavily upon tho spir
its and health of tho men, and puts to
a severe test their military discipline.
The health and discipline of this ar
my are both good at tli6 present time-
much hotter than thoy wore six months
since. Being right in fnce of the ene
my bore, and from twolvo to fifteon
men from each regiment going out ou
picket overy two days and standing on
one bank of the Rappahannock whfle
the onomy’s pickets arc on tho other
bank, thus seeing them and being suffi
ciently near to hear them talk, although
conversation with thorn is prohibited)'
keeps up a lively sense of prudbnee
and an appreciation of tho necessity of
strict difoiplino. But still after dll, wo
are having a decidedly dull time. It
hardly seems as though there will bo
any more fighting hero this season, and
yet Gen. Lee will not grant furloughs
except in very extreme cases. And, now,
just at this soason of the year, nearly
overy man in the army J is extremely
anxious to visit home in order to make
some arrangements for his business du
ring the next twelve months, or, if ho
has no urgent business, why then it is
just tho time and is most desirous of
seeing the "loved ones at homo.” Any
amount of applications for leave of ab
sence have been sont up, nearly all of
which havo boon verg politely disapproval.
The General regrets that the demands
of the sorvico will not admit of tho
granting of furloughs just now. This
"throws a damper” over the high hopes
of tho ardent applicant and makes him
fool very muoh as a young man is sup
posed to feel (for the writer would not
have his young lady readers think he
knows anything about it) when he gets
a negative response from a young lady
whoso, hand lie lins solicited, but which
refusal is accompanied with tho hope
that thoy may always bo friends. Asido
from the anxiety to go home we aro
getting along very pleasantly, although
it has been "oold ps krout” during tho
past two or throe days. Except a little
rain on last Tuesday wo havo had bright
days, or at least neither, rain or snow
since December 15th. The army is bow
oomfortably clothed and shod.
Last Wednesday our Brigade’ was
reviewed by Gen.”Hood, and to-day the
Division by the same office*. Our Divi
sion as now arranged is composed or
tho following Brigades, in their ordef
from the right: Jenkin’s, Anderson's,
Lawte and Robinson’s ; the latter being
Hood’s old Brigado. .Toombs' Brigade
ltae been’ transferred to Picket's Divi
sion, and they are now said to be build
ing Winter quarters.
If it was warmer I might write a lit
tle more, but I declare my feet and*
hands aro almost frozen, a|fd I must go
to tho fire and warm—so good bye for
tho.present. ^ ^ ^ M. D.
The Accident oR tiie Central Rali-
iioad.—A moloncholy accident occurred
on tho Control Railroad on Friday night
lost, on tho mail and passenger train.
It was caused by tho breaking of a
wheel of the baggage car, betweon
Stations 26 and 17. Tho cav was en
tirely demolished, causing tho death of
Patrick Dodd, tho baggage muster, a
man named James Creed and a negro.
The ladies’s car, immediately following
tho baggage cur, was turned ovor, and
eight ladies injured—two of them, it
is fearod, mortally. Mr. Creed was
ono of the prisoners captured by the
Federate at Fort Pulaski, and he was
talcing a trip over tho roacl to gain such
information as would fit. him, for' fu
ture employ by the Southern Express
Company ,»Ile leaves a wife and four
children, "^Ll is body and that of Mr.
Dodd were so badly mutilatfod as to be
scarcely identified, except by their
clothing.

Reliable information having been re
ceived by me, that there is, at present,
a very considerable number of desort-
ors and stragglers from tho military
service of tho Confederate States, with
in tho limits ot this State, who, after
having volunteered and entered tho
servico, havo ingloriously abandoned
their, country’s flag and their brave
comrades in arms; and it boing repro-
sen ted .that numbers of those deserters,
encouraged by disloyal citizens in the

havo associated themselves togotner
with arms in their hands, and are. now
in rebellion against tho authority of

robbing loyal citizens of their proporty,
nnd threatening to burn their dwellings
and do other acts of violonce; and it
boing my determination, while I do nil
in my powor as tho Executive of tho

sovereignty in tho Confederacy ns well
in times of revolution p.s in timo of

authority vested in me, to cause the
Government and people of tho State to
do their whole duty to tho Confedera

States of which it is oomposod, nnd not
only to respond in future, as I have in
ovory instance promptly dono in tho

for even more than her just quota of
men and means, to carry on tho war
till our independence is fully establish
ed, but to compel all who have desert
ed and sought refuge within this State,
whether they bo Georgians or not to re
turn to tho discharge of duly.
I therefore issue this, my Proclama
tion, commanding all persons, os we Ik
officers as privates, within the limits of

tho military servico of tho Confederate
States, nnd who have deserted, or are
otherwise absent from their respective

out legal furlough, or order from the
officers having the right to command
them, or who Have ovorstayod the timo
allowed them without Providential
hindcrance, to return to their respec

publication of this notice ; and I invoke
tho pardon of the Confederate authori
ties for all such who return to their du'
ty within twenty days, hut ask that the
penalties of tho law bo rigorously in
itiated upou all who t'efttso so to do;
and I call upon tho good people of this
State to bring to bear tho powerful in
fluence of a just public opinion in con
deinnation of <all desorters and strag
glers no matter what may be their po
sition, wealth or influence. And I also
hereby command and require all mili
tia officers of this State with tho forces
-.under their command if neeessary, and
all slieriffs.and constables with all per
sons subject to their commands, to be
vigilant and active, in arresting all per
sons who may bo found within their
respective jurisdictions, who belong to
any military organization in the service
of tlie Confederate States, who cannot
show that they have the legal authority,
or order, of their commanding officers
to justify suoh absence; and to deliver
suoli person, whon arrested’, to any offi
cer commanding any company or regi
ment in the military sorvico of this
State.
And I also direct each man and every
officer in command of either of tho
two regiments now being formed for
Stoto servico, or any company of which
they are comprised, to arrest all sucli
persons, using all their force necessary
for that purpose ; and to receive into

or to havo overstayed tho timo slowed
by thoir furloughs, and to render to

who disgrace hcrsoil. And I also warn
all disloyal citizens to ooase to harbor

be exposed to a vory sovero ordeal. It
turned out that their position became
tho hottest part of the field. They
were singlod out for a charge by a heavy
column of the enemy. Thoir Colonel,
who tolls the story, states thittr wjien
the Yankees made their appearance iti
front, and came up in splendid lino,
tho conscripts showed ovidont sighs of
uneasiness. He saw Uiq heads of his
men turning every which ‘way, to tho
right, left, and rear, and from all the
indications ofiinstcitdiness ; heexpectod
every moment to see them break and
run. He found it necessary to use all
ids coolness and judgment to restore
confidence. Riding along thoir lines,
with a "steady men,” "Wait for orders.”
“don’t firo until 1 give the word,” he
managed to keep them in lino until the
Yankees got up within point black
range, when ho gavo tho word "firo.”
Bays tho Colonel, "it sooinocl to me that
overy soldier in tho regiment picked
out his mnn in the onemy’s ranks, and
that ono went down for every trigger
