Dear CourierIt would do your j
renders good it' they could just lool; |
in upon our brigade, and walk the
streets of our tonled city. The nomad
ic lifa led by our army corps, has in
duced all to reduce their movables to
tho least possible amount, and yet tho
actual necessaries for sustaining life, have
so fnr, been nearly always at command.
All have, got a protection of some
hind from the weather; souio have
nice wall tents—those are confined
pretty much to staff officers—some
havo tho siblcy tent, somo tho bell tent
and somo tho fly tent, others have
simply a straight fly with- blankets
hung at tho end, still othors havo a log
pen yvitli a fly stretohed over lor a
roof. Nearly nit ♦!.» ton is, however'
are old, dingy and rotten, hut thoy are
vastly bettor than nothing for keeping
off tho frequent cold rains, sleets,
snows aud raw, cold winds of March.
Long habituated to tho privations of
camp, tho men havo tho complacent air
of contentment, and really enjoy any
little addition to their customary com.
forts. Now for instance, wo aro get
ting a bettor variety of rations than at
any previous time in the past twelve
months. Beside flour an I alternately,
bacon and driod hoof, wo now got full
rations of sugar aud rico. It is surpris
ing how good naturod and happy sol.
diers, who have boon on short allow
ances for a long time, suddenly bocotno
when they got enough wholesome food
to oat, and a sufficiency of rest to onjoy
it. Thoy become moro spirited and
ambitious, wear cleanor clothes, and
those arc put on in bettor tasto ; and,
instead of appearing depressed, wear
8u exultant expression of counton-
anoe.
Kov. W. W. Bennett, General Tract-
Agent of the Methodist Church, proaclr
od a most excellent sermon yesterday,
to tho larggpt religious congregation the
writer has over seen in this brigade.
There is now a greater interest mani
fested upen the subject of religion in
this command than at any provious
time. Some forty-five or fifty have-
professed conversion ,in the last two
months, and twenty-three havo joined
different brail dies of the christain
ohuroh—the others prefer towaitjand
join the ohttrch at,home. Two received
the ordinance of baptism by pouring
at tho close of services, yoslcrdny
morning,(nine received it by immersion
in the evening, administered by
Rev. Mr.j Walker, former editor of
tho Christain Index, or Mil con, Gn.
In order to secure somo of tho advan
tages of a regular church membership
at home, thero is now organized the
'Georgia. Soldier's Christian Association
of Anderson’s Brigade.” It already
numbers one hundred and fifty mem
bers; meets every Saturday at one
o’clock, and is believed to he ft very
efficient aid in promoting the cause of
religion.
Last wook two men, belonging to the
11th Ga. Regiment punished for deser
tion, in a very strange way, and the
trial was not, if correctly reported, in
accordance with tho Confederate Army
regulations. Tho facts are given by
what eoems to he good authority, as
follows: Tho men were tried by ltegi
mental Court-martial, found guilty and
sentenced to forfeit one month’s pay
and suffer such other punishment as
the Regimental commander should
deem proper to inflict.
This officer then fold the prisoners
that although their case might be pro
periy carried up to a General Court-
martial, yet if they would inflict each
upon tho naked back of tho other,
twenty lashes, lie would net prosecute
the case further. This thoy consented
to do, and the Regiment was drawn up
in a hollow square, with the culprits in
tho centre.
They were stripped to tho waist oiul
a long keon hickory placed in tho
hands of each, with instructions that
. one should giva the other ten licks, and
then alternate. The first ten blows are
said to havo been tolerably light, but
after that nearly every lick brought the
Marol. The general impression is that
tiiese men will not desert again, or, at
all events if they do, they will bo par
ticularly careful not to be caught.
Petty larceny is becoming outra
geously common ; confined, liowe.vei',
almost entirely to articles of food and
cooking vessels. A few nights aince
some one "lifted” Major Magruder’s
dough that was set by the fire to "rise,”
together with the skillet and somo fifty
potinds of flour.
It is not yet known whether more
furloughs will ho granted at proBent.
If thoy are, R. J. Franks and \V. S.
Lansdoli will be rocommencled from
llie Light Guards. The old members
drew lots for tho clmncos.
The Regiment- is still increasing in
strength,
Tho only instance that has coino to
lily knowledge of any largo theft, was
the stenting of two hundred and forty
dollars from Lewis E. Graves, by a man
named Glow. 1 ho money tvns all re
covered and tho thief is now utufer

The Revolution in Indiana.—That
h revolution is rapidly gathering volume
and threatens soon to burst in tho
Northwest, no one, with even ordinary
intelligence, now for a moment doubts.
Drafts have been resisted, deserters
have been assisted in escaping. The
Abolitionists ’ .in Illinois have becomo
greatly alui-metl, uiul nro casting uboul
for something tp drown tho clamor,
lest any moment- thoy may find them-
solves stifled with their military supre
macy overthrown. The following ex
tract, which we dip from llio Cincin
nati Gazetto, is from a letter written by
a citizen of Indiana to his Representa
tive in Congress, tiying to devise mea
sures for tho suppression of this homo
roboliion. Tho writer says :
“The poople aro alarmed at tho mea •
sure now on foot and developed by
rebel sympathizers. Wo greatly need,
in form for distribution, a defence of
the President’ proclamation, mul the
refutation of the charge that this is an
abolition war. Such charges are edu
cating tho public mind for resisfuneo
to rt draft. Bo assured that there is
groat danger of their doing their whrk
effectually. No threat is even now
moro common than that of resistance
to any draft ; and it is no idto one,
either. It is inevitable, without a great-
change in public sentiment, and it is
usolesB to disguise it. Deserters already
find armed protection In this county.
It is so in almost every Democratic
county in Indiana. A reaction seems
taking place, but unless stimulated it
will bo only temporary.
"Under tho dreaded apprehension
that civil war is at ouv doors, the people
nio ready to ucccpt almost anything
that would promise evon temporary
relief from such calamities as that
would inflict. Taking advantage of
this, tho Democrats are proposing to
circulate petitions for an oxtra session
of Congress, to propose somo measure
of compromise—telling the people that,
if offered aud refused by the rebels it
will unite us at home, and avcit (he
crimes and horrors of civil war'. Think
of it as wo will, all men will rush into
such a policy. If the President, on
such application, shall refuse to call
Congress together, thoy tliui intend
to explode tho magazine and precipi
tate us into revolution.”

Distress Among the Woiiking Classes
in France.—Tho Opinion Nntionalo of
tho ‘29th of February, contains a com
munication growing out of a petition of
five hundred inhabitants of Clignun-
court to the .Senate for relief in their
destitute condition. Tho article allu
ded to is quite lengthy, ns to the evils
to which llio workmen aro subject in
their spinning and weaving occupa
tions, and we nuke only a short extract
to show tlie .deep distress, debasement
and degreihition to which they have
boon reduced by tiie want of the great
staple—cotton—which hitherto has not
only furnished them employment and
subsistence, but lias been in its vnrious
ramifications tho source of commerce
to a large hut now suffering poptiia
lion.
It is easy to see that if tho conflict
between the North and South contin
ues much longer, and Franco is still
tl.-prived of the staples und jnarkels of
this country, she must either find some
new and discovered path to relief, or
else submit to lho fate which - a revolu
tion will entail. Tlie following is the
exlniot-. —Chronicle.
As to tlie actual condition of tho
workmen, wlmt shall bo said of it which
is not already k.iown ?- Tho weavers of
s:omo parts of Normandy eat tlie leaves
of the colza or rapo-seed. At Rouen n
single parish, at Vivien, contains 1,170
Inunlies in a stale of destitution, and
these 1,170 fatnilios have tlioir most
indispensable tfffeots, to the amount of
one hundred thousand francs, in pledge
with the pinyn brokers. Mothers in-
.scribe tlioir daughters’ mimes upon the
public registers for vilo purposes, ainl
when tho 'Registrar endeavors td turn
them from their frightful intentions,
they answer, “Wo have ’ no bread!”
Tlie .peasants, in the middle ug6s, gave
tlioir children‘to' the wolves, and wo
have iio'.v advanced ono degree farthor
in»niisii-y and shame.
We aro only yet in tlie. beginning of
this ‘doleful condition,' and must await
tho development of t!)ls "immense
process.” -
