Camp nv;au SuVun vu.i.r., Tenn.,
March 8th, 1863.
Editor Courier;— Since I returned
to Shclbyvillo nothing of definite im
portance Inis taken place. On tho 1st
itist., Gen. Van Dorn’nttackcd two ene
my at Franklin, and completely route.I
them—lie, however, did not capture 3,-
(.100 as it was reported, hut only about
prisoners, and five killed—our loss
none. v - lt ; is again reported tlml lie
fought tlio enemy on tho 5tu Hist., and
captured 2,500 prisoners, killed and
wounded 1,500, with a loss to us in
killed, wounded and .prisoners, of about
800. Although, not officially cqpfinn-
cd, yet there is groat plausibility in this
last report, as prisoners have arrived at
this point. On yesterday tlm 0th,Polk’s
command, comprising tliroo divisions,
was ordered on to the front, and there
is some probability of an early engage
ment.
Lieut. Gen. Folk’s command consists
of Muj. Gens. Withers,’ Cheatham's
and McCown’s Divisions. Which divis
ions are composed, principally of Ala
bamians', Mjiplssippians, Tennesseeans,
Arkansians and Texans, all of whom
have shown themselves to he us good
troops as tlio world over saw.
The opinion seems to prevail * that
we arc on the eve, of another bloody
battle, when the quiet of this valley
will again bo disturbed liy tho crash of
musketry and the shock of artillery.
When again, to satisfy tlio lust of on
ambitious tyranny, the soil of Teuncs-
seo will drink to drunkenness of the
best blood of A morion citizens.
This army is stronger, I suppose, by
at least 20,000 than at tlio battle of
Murfreesboro’
Though, it is not my place to say
how it hus became so. Tlio men are
generally in good spirits, and eager to
finish this fighting, ns they havo nearly
abandoned all hope of settling the dif-
icuity ’till the Lincoln Government
huvo became more'oxhnusted.
Tjhe health of tho army is tolerably
good—though somo sickness among the
recruits principally. Some few cases
of Small I’ox here, yol, its torrors are
all gone, ns but few leuths have oocui-
ed from it. Not near so many have died
of •Small Pox ns of Measles.
When 1 saw you J expressed the be
lief that this part of tlio army would
full hack to, or near Tullahoma, that
tho fight would be near that placo. I
now think that we wl'l givo tho Yan
kees a turn between this and Murfrees
boro’. I suppose thus, from tlio fact
that our whole force is now in lino le-
tweon this and Murfreesboro’, and I
see no positive indication of a foirent.
Yot it any lie. otherwise—1 know not
tho moves intended by our generals,
and now have full confidence dint they
know ail the circumstances and will
move for tho best.
I suppose Gen. J. K. Johnston is here
in person, und tlio army hus unlimited
confidence that ell will bo well under
his surveilunoe.
Tho gpcat idea that the West tvas go
ing to do something for us, is nearly
‘‘played out,” since the Frankfott Con
vention was busted up in so summarily
a manner. When men, horn to all the
privileges and attributes of IVeomen,
can he cowed down in the manner they
were, and lamely submit, all hope of
them throwing off the mighty tyrant’s
chains that bind thorn, is gone. They
may yot do something, but no one here,
whoso opionion I liu/g heard, thinks
Front Tennessee.
The army of Tennessee it still hold
ing its ground, and the situation is sub
stantially the same that it has been Tor
the last three weeks.
Oar oxtromo outposts upon the Mur
freesboro’ pike, uro some sixteen miles
from Sltel by villa, and ten miles this
side of tho former place.
The Abolitionists about Murfreesboro
are committing many outrages, and the
unfortunate citizens are feeling tlio op
pressive weight of tlio iron hand.—
t’lioy tako every bushel of corn, and
every pound of meat they can find,
and then deal out rations to the citi
zens and their slaves alike.
It is stated that, tlio Abolition forces
in Tennessee nro burning all the plows
and farming utensils they can find,
swearing that the citizens shall not
make another crop.
A gentleman writing from tho Ten-
nessoo army, narrates the annexed in
cident:
When Stanford’s battery, on ono oc
casion at Murfreesboro’, was preparing
to open fire on the onomy, wo saw just
in front of our pieces, somo thirty yards
distant," a Confederate soldior who
seemed to bu busy picking up some
guns.
Wo halloed and stormed at him to
get out o( the way, hut ho. paid no at
tention in us, ntul continued to pick
up guns, until ho had sont six or eight
in his arms. One of our men now went
up to him to lead him away, when it*
was discovered that the poor fellow had
beui struck on tho head with a bullet,
wlileU hail partially deranged him. As
ho was led behind our pieces, still cir-
rying his guns, ho said with a sort- of
quisical wink, ‘‘you don’t tako mo for a
Yankee prisoner, do you?”

The country from Murfreesboro’ to
Nashville is represented as ono great
waste. No fences and hut few houses
left standing. There is not a fence for
five miles around 'Murfreesboro. Kvo-
rything too that an army can use has
been tukon, and that which was of no
uso has been destroyed. Every man
who is found cultivating the soil is im
prisoned, and no ono is allowed to nuiko
any kind of produce. Not only that—
old gray headed fatliors are stripped
and whipped, and his wife and daught
ers ravished—not only by vagabond
struggling soldiers, hut by authority of
Lincoln’s officers. Such reckless dis
traction, and such cruel inhumanity
have never been practiced on any eon
tinent. Tho treatment roceived from
tho wild savages, by tlio early settleis.of
America was humane, compared with
tho treatment received by many fami
lies in this portion of Ton nessoo.

The Late United titntes.
Tho manner in which the Yankee
Government has cut looso from the
Const-ilutfon is so quiet-, und with so
little premonitory notice, that we are
even now lost in uinazement, und find
it impossible to renlizo tho truth in its
fullest extent. Tlio great Republic,
Iho boasted model Government upon
earth, tlio Government that threatened
to make all others do us she would
have them, that was feared and detest
ed by every ono of them—lias gone to
pieces as quietly us an old scow bcucli-
ed upon a rocky piece of coast, us soon
as the waters which had thrown it there j
subsided. i
Tho idea that tlio- Yankees could
carry on a frame of Government like
that of tlio old Union, so complicated
of itsolf. and requiring the use of such
delicate machinery, was from tho be-
1 inning a dream and an illusion. The
’nlikco mind is cnpabln of no such
oxerticn. It could linyo invented tlio
system nor havo kept it in operation
without the aid of the South. As sooja
as tho South determined to withdraw
from the Ur.ion the caso became hope?

b 'hind could no longer oxist. ‘‘Tlio
host Government the world ever saw”
Inis’ become a hissing and a reproach.
It is an absolute monarchy, with Lin

For the sake of securing tho power to
Lincoln against an ovidonl majority in
the country und in Congress, the Yan

Yankex Baruaritv.—A loiter was
received in Lynchburg Monday, says
the Virginian, from a responsible lady-
in Fauquier, stating that a' hospital in
Georgetown, containing 500 negroes
afflicted with small pox, wus burned up
a day or two since. This shooking uf-
tair, attributed by tho Yankees to ae-
aidant, is not credited, but is bolieved
to have been the result of a cold blood
ed purpose to exterminate the negroes
and the disease by the summary but
execrable design of burning tho’ buil
ding in which they wore suffering. If
this report he true, und from the respec
table source from which it comes to us,
we have no reason to doubt, it is pro

Yankees havo been guilty,
