From Sliclbyvlllc. Sueluvville, TtiNNi, Aprd 17, 1803. -Dear C'ouuiEn: Nothing of a startling chaia'Cter has taken place since 1 lust wioto you,. Gen. Wheeler has again beerf bottVosn Murirossboro' and Nash ville, destroying the railroad, taking prisoners and Oiipturihg valuables, so also lias Gen. Morgan boon in tbo rear of Nashville, at his old tricks; captur ing truing and supplies, &o. Gen. Van Dorn and Forrest are fighting the Yan kees almost daily, oil our loft, and, tho fruits of their labors are showti daily in ‘bluo coats,” passing, through town. If Kqseneraiis remains in his presont po sition a few months.longer, our cavalry will utterly destroy liim j but ho is too Wiley to' remain. . He will. be forced, before many days, to move in some di rection. Tho roads are dry and firm, and the weather favorable for military moves, and X mako, tlio prediction, that if ho don’t >advanco ' upon us, wo will upon him. *' - . Tboro is a bettor confidence in our ability to moot liim now, than has been since we came into tho valley last full Yet wo know ho b strongly reinforced, and we hear that Grant’s array from Vioksburg is ooming to bis assistance— the attack on that place having been wonderfully unsucoossful. This report may or tuny not be true. I suppose our authorities know tho facts. It is. also rumored- that the attack on Charleston will bi-finally abiindonod, and tlio Fed eral forces there sont to aid, “fighting Joe Hooker," in making tho fifth "on to Riehmond.” . I had alraoitt forgotton to • tell you, that Ynnkoo papers,' circulating iu llo- sencrans’ army, announce in attractive characters, that they have token Char, leston, together with a a. number of distinguished vohels..- Not only the non spftpers, but many private letters, captured by Gen. Wheeler, on those trains, announce that pleasing intelli gence, in strains eloquently jubilant. They must indeed ho hard run, when it requires such villaiuous falsehoods to keep up the spirits of their soldiers, jt'O'eu-'Boseflcrans expeptq to keep bis soldiers up to fighting point by sych tain of one of our privateers; also that this same W. 3. ltssencrans received negro property by his wife. If this be so, let some of your many readers mako it known. It would further confirm the deep dyed villainy of those who aro now trying to subjugate us. 1'Will olose at present, but will write again when circumstances warrant. HECTOR. Editorial Correspondence. Bivouac of 8tu Oa. Rest, Soutu Gammon County, Apr'l 9,1803. Dear Courier : We aro again on the pad. I.eft Petersburg yesterday at 7 o’clock A. M., taking the' Jerusalem plank road, running out in a Southerly direction, and continued it eighteen miles, and bivauaced' last night near a church called HaWkinsville. ’Tb sup posed that the ohuroh has that name, from the fact that it and and a small dwelling were tlio only buildings seen in.,the vicinity. It was a fine slay, tho road tolerably good, though tho plauk- ing is very much dilapidated, and the march wub mude with comparative ease. Our route lay through a rolling country, with sandy soil, mostly second growth pine timber, and, and as Wotlld bo inferred, for the most part a very poor conntry. There weVo, however, a few tolerubly good farms on the way, and on oho of tlioso was a sight that cheered tho hearts of Southern boys. It'was a field containing some fifty acres, on which last year cotton was raised,' and the stalks were still stand ing. The weed was about medium size for our section of country, ar.d scorned lo have been very well fruited. To-dny, Thursday, has been equally as pleasant as yosterdny, and we have continued our march eighteen miles •n the suine road, and are now within eight miles of the county . site of thiir. Biaok water county. From near Peters burg to our present- looality, we have passed no dear, colorless streams, but, on the contrary, they all have, in an eminent degree, that peculiar color, on account of which the whole section of' country has received its name. The men all started with three days rations in their liav.ersaoks, which, witli their guns, accoutrements and blankots made them a heavy load. Most of thorn, however, have stood up to it manfully. No tents avo along oxeept fow for 8taif officers. Last, night it was calm, clear and frosty, anil to-night promises to be its fellow. The same troops chat left Fredericks burg oh the 17th of Felxunry, aro in this expedition. To be more specific would perhaps bo imprudent. Friday Noon.—We arc now at J eru- salom, and moving on towards Frank" tliu, Oil be Weldon uud Suffolk rail road. M. D. [Communicated. Mr. Editor.—It is duo from the sol diers in the Hospitals, to state, that the article in your paper rccontly, in refer once to the Ladies of Rome, docs not apply to Mrs. E— •$-—-, for slio lias hot been unmindful of her. bravo de fenders as she calls us, for she is ever ready with .kind words and dcodsi bestowing milk and wino to those heeding it, who aro. from every section of the'Confederacy. It is not exported that she could supply the wants of all, but she had a sweet smile and a word of sympathy ferevory ono, which makes thorn fool hotter for her presence.

Wo havo no doubt that tho articles published in the North-about famine, disaffection, &o., throughout the South, aro alto gether serious, and ropresont a pretty general opinion; in Lincolndom, and are withal a source of some of the confident expectations of an early subjugation of 1 tho South.

The Future. —Many'people fondly imagine that, with ’a cessation of hostil ities, business would at onoe resume its wonted ohannels, and everything go on as smoothly as before the war. This is unquestionably am'erroneous belief.— Woro tbo wan to end to-morrow, it would be a considerable time, probably beforo a treaty of- peace, could he con cluded, for it will be very difficult to settle the terms of boundaries, territo rial property, forto; Government places, Ac., Ac. Our Revolutionary war closed so far as fighting: wqs concerned, with the capture of Ybrktown, Oct. 19tll, 1781. Peace was'not proclaimed until 1783, and our questions are more intri cate than those of that day, It maybe that the interval of diplomacy will prova oven longer than tiro years.— Augusta Chrbnicle. 1:
