Food for tho Army.
.N.o.w that the time for pitohjng crops
has arrived, wo take the liberty of mak
mg a few suggestions touching the
wants of our noble self-sacrificing sol*
dieis, in the way of healthy food, wliioh
may not have occurred to our fames;
All know that tlio. nrniy needs breiid
and meat, and with commendable pa
triotism’have ignored ettton and taken
themselves to the production of these
sinews of war, ,
Bread and moat for breakfast, meat
and bread for dinner, and tho sumo for
supper, soon cloys tho stomr.ch, un
healthy blood is formed—sooif linger
ing, intrnctnblo diseaco sets in, tho hos
pitals, and finally the graveyard, reveals
tho short-sightcduess of i.ot providing
our soldiers with variV/y in. food.
1, yesterday; had a conversation with
a medical gontloman connected with
the army, and wheso position .affords
him an opportunity of making a wide
survey of the field, and ho informed
mb that already Seorlnitus,, Diarrhoea,
and Typhoid Fever aro now manifesting
themselves in tlie army. Would you
havo bur bravo boys, in high spirits, and
with strong arms, able to beat back tho
invading foe, give thorn plenty of veg
etables and fruit lb eat; not a mess
now nnd then, bat enough for daily
Now is tho time to begin the
work. Don’t begin to think of some
little spare corner of your farm
wherein to plant vegetables. Appro
priate your best fields—plant potatoes
beans, peas, cabbage, onions, turnips,
cucumbers for pickles, by tIA acre,
thinking tho while of our noblo boys.
Another article much needed in the
arm, .for .medical use, ns well as diet
■i mustard—be sure to raise plenty of
it. *io.. VimILvM orft
It is lumcntably true that soldiers in
service soon contract a thirst for brandy-
Men who at home never drink, will
sosn crave brandy. This is owing, in a
great degree, to tho want of the accus
tomed stomachics; give them plenty of
onions, pickles, mustard and other veg
etables, and you will hush theory for
brandy. The cloyed stomach must and
will have some itimulant to excite the
gostrio juce, so essential to digestion.—
It is with the farmer at homo, in a degree,
to say whether his son, brother or neigh
bor shall, return from tlie dangers
and toils of war a hale healthy man, or
with a vitiate ! thirst foi 1 brandy, which
he can never conquor. Tho product of
your orchards, instead of being con
verted into brandy, should be dried ou
canned and sent by car loads to the
army.
By tho way every farmer that don’t
want to pay 50 cents ora dollar per
pound for sugar, and have none for his
son in the army, should plant the sorgho
or Chinese Sugar Cane. Let this be
cultivated in abundance. It. is easily
done, and oasily and cheaply converted
into sugatand molasses; H..„

Sn EMIT TILLS, TENNESSEE, 1
Jan. 27th, 18G3. }
Desk Cockim :—The almost inces
sant ruins of the past three weeks, liaye
rendered the roads quite impassable,
and will, in all probability, retard mili
tary operations in Middle Tennessee
Until the coming Spring. Our efficient
corps of cavalry will accomplish all that
is necessary for the present benefit.of
Uosencranz. That General, notwith
standing his reinforcements, is too pru
dent to make an advance at this sea
son of tho year; he has enough to keep
his hands full already, apd his army
must recuperate from the stunning
blow which “Bragg’s ragged rebels”—
as he terms our victorious forces—gave
it at Murfreesboro, lie begins to un
derstand, too, that there was considera
ble policy in our falling back from a
country quite destitute of army subsis
tence; and he doubtUss wishes that
his headquarters were nearer Nashville
and safsty, than they at present happen
to be.
His embarrassing situation invites
frequent cavalry assaults upon bis rear,
and these advantages have been seized
upon by our gallant Wheeler and
Wliorton, whose recent raids upon Hie
enemy’s transports and supply trains
have become a source of serious, annoy-
anco to the Federal General. Ho com
plains that even his mail facilities are
cut off, nnd that “half-rations’’ will be
the order of the day, unless these raids
aro stopped. Another cavalry expedi
tion under command of Gen. Wheeler,
left our vicinity a few days ago, and
wo should not he surpi ised to learn
that Rosencranz was soon compelled to
fall back to Nashville, in conscquonco
thereof. %'
Joseph Wheeler is a rising name, n-d
the-gallant youth bids fair to win a rep
utation second to none of our cavalry
leaders. Although quite young, nnd
but recently r.rting ia tho capacity of a
commander, yet with the dash of youth,
ho combines the skill anil sagacity uf
the veteran leader. We understand
that lie Inis been lately appointed a
Major General.
Since tho fulling back of our nrmy,
we have been quartered at different
points between here and Winchester.
The troops have been paid off to the
first of January, and efforts ore being
made to furnish them with an adequate
supply of tents and clothing. The
Georgia Belief and Hospital Association
has been conspicuous in its endeavors
to supply tlie soldiers from the Kiutdro
State with clothing, shoes and biauketS;
and, we may add, its worthy efforts to
to clothe the needy soldiers, are grate
fully appreciated by those who have
been the recipients of its benefits.
A detachment of Morgan’s cavalry
mode u dash into Murfreesboro a fears
day* ago. ano succeeded in capturing
150 prisoners and 30 wagons. Gen, E.
Kirby Smith lias left for Austin, Texas,
and tlie troops formerly belonging to
his command, now - in Middle Tenner

Camp 8tk Ga. ltr.mnr.NT, near.)
Fhedkricksbl'Iiu, Jan. 24. ’G3. )
Dear Onimiru :-~-Tho irksoino rou
tine of camp duties, and tho dull rao*
notony of events, has been somewhat
relievod during the past two days, by
a false alarm, created on Thursday
morning. The occurrence is said to
have happened in this wisa : a courier
was told' by some, probably, sleepy
sentinel on picket, that he “thought,”
or “conjectured,” “mistrusted” or “be
lieved" that the enemy had crossed
the river agnjn, and the courier taking
it for gninled that the thing hud been
done, carries in baste this neu-t to the
signal battery, and they fire the signal
guns. This happened about 5 o'clock
in the morning, mul, of course, started
all handt. from their matutinal slum
bers. Probably at least fifty thousand
men, in the Confederate nrmy, ruUed
up their heads from their bunks on
tho ground, nnd, resting their heads
on one of their linnds with their arms
akimbo, “wondered whnt thoso can
non meant.” Nearly every one asked
some ono clso, who wns as ignorant as
himself, “what that filing was for.”—
But, ns is generally tho case, nil had to
wait until the full oxplnnntion should
como dowst through tho regulnr grade
of officers, from Gen. Leo to tlio com
manders of regiments. It seems there
had been somo commotion discovered
among the abolitionists on the other
side of the river during tho night, but
no attempt to cross. It is probable
that wlis iber we will bo required to
move or not, depends entirely upon
tho notion of Gie enemy. It. they cross
over here we will fight them; if they
move oft’, we will eitiicr pursue or clso
start to head them if wherever tlioy go.
.We are still required to keep two day’s
cooked rations constantly, on hand, and
other tilings consplro to make it evi
dent, tlmt a movement of some kind is
not improbable. On Thursday morning
an order was sent down from Gen.
Hood that all officers’ baggngo, except
tents and cooking utensils, should be
curried to tho railroad and thence
shipped.to Richmond, as tho condition
of the roads—made very muddy by tlie
recent rains—and their teams were
such, that this baggage could not be
hauled. This, of- course, made the
officers fret, because the belief was gen
era! that wo would not movo very soon-
Nevertheless, Ibis baggngo of our Reg*
iuu’Ht was sent to the depot in care of
our Chaplain, wiio was to accompany it
to Richmond, and return with it soon
if we did not move, or, if we did, os
soon as it should bo needed. So wo
did not move Thursday, and it is still
remaining at tlio depot, a considerable
part of it was yesterday brought back
and the balance sent of to Richmond,

The Caftise or Abiansas Post.—
Arkansas Post, which is reported in the
Northern papeis to have been cap
tured by the Federate fleet and land
forces, is on White river, about 100
miles .from it mouth. It is a square
front, witli bastions, mounting four
32-pounders, smooth bore, and one 100-
pounds Parrett gun. lt is not likely
that the force of the Confederates there
approximated cveii 5,000 men. the
lowa.-t figure at which the Federal
reports place tlie number of captured
men. Tho fleet, under Porter, which
made the attack, was backed by a land
foico, under McCIcarnand, which seems
to have gottun in roar of the front, as
the. Fedcrals roport that their loss-,
two hundred—was chiefly caused by
the sheU trom their own gunboats.
Tho Post was attacked on the evening
of the 10th, nnd aureudereii on the
11th. Tho repot t says that tho Confed
erate wero cut off from retreat on both
of tho river. The dispatches contain
ing all this information are the first
published in ths Yankee journals, and
the fncts will doubtless be greatly alter
ed when tho truth is known. Another
fleet went up the Arkansas river at the

sire an extension of their furloughs,
it must be recommended by a Surgeon
