Dear Courier Since closing my let
ter on the ovo of tlio 25th inst.' our di
vision has riot been idle. That night,
though wo had marched twenty miles
during tho day, the men had to cook
two day's rations,—had Reveille at 2
o'clock, Friday morning and got under
way at 5. It was four miles to the i'ord
at Williamsport—Forded tho f’otomae
thoro between 7 and 9 o’clock, the
water being no more than 2j feet deep
in tho deepest places. It commenced j
to rain at 2 o'clock and wc had rather
a gloomy tiino, but wo were halted
two miles thissidc of W. where whisky
rations were issued, tho men built good
fires from Union rails and cheerfulness
and eve'll hilarity soon became univer
sal. At Noon again resumed Die march,
taking a Northerly direction,' towards
Giuencastlo, l'li. The first two or threo
miles was otico a dirt road, which the
heavy rain of tho morning had made,
very muddy, and.tho marchiug was
horrid. But tho men kept up finely !
in fact there has boon less straggling
during the past three days than I have
evor known in our Division. At 4
o'clock 1‘. M. wo crossed the Va. line,
and our Raid lor the first time was on
abolition soil. The characteristic dif.
fercnce between tho true Southrons
and the Abolitionists is so completely
graduated-sis you approach the line of
their territosi6s from either side, that
no very palpable difference is notioable
just at the boundrjv* Even in Burkley
county Va. wo passed many houses
with closed doors ami windows, where
tho well ropes ami pump handles had
been removed, and all possible pains
taken to prevent giving aid and corn
fort to tho “rebels,” At Williainsporti
which contains probably 1500 or 2000
inhabitants, tho ladies at some half
dozen houses cheered us on, whilo most
ot Uio citizens wore frowning counte
nances. Wo are now twelve miles
from Williamsport, three miles from
tho Maryland line, and four from Get
tysburg l’n., it.nl in tills neighborhood
are several gentlemen- so intensoly
strong in llielr war tentinionts, and so
decidedly oHnoscd to abolitionism as
to mako them strong sympathisers in
tho Confederate cause. •
Gen. Rhodes’ division is said to bo at
Greencastlo. Nearly all tho horses and
beef cattle about hero had been cap
tured by hint and driven south before
ive came. Our orders are very strict
not to disturb citizens or private prop
erty except such as tho army needs,
and this is pressed by Quartermasters
qr other officers especially detailed for
that purpose. We find lioio a very
decided reduction in the price of.arti>
cles of food from what it is in Virginia
For inslunco first rate baton is sold
hero at from 15 to 20 cents per pound—
butter, 12j—coirts—Flour3 cents; and
what is still moro strango, I liatto not
heard of any refusing to lake Confed.
eratn money, though several have re
fused pay, from soldiers, for milk, ve
getables and perhaps a few pounds of
meat.
If this division is not completely
mobilized there never was one in that
condition. Wo have marched, in- tho
last twelve days, one hundred and so
venty miles, and while our brigade
forded tho Shenandoah five times tiie
whole Division I'orded it two or three
times, and all tho Potomac. And, af
ter all, it muy .be that our grand tour
is now only commenccu. ' This morn
ing wo had tho luxury of sleeping till
sun rise, and wo are orlercd to mnrch
at 7 o’clock. It is forty-six miles to
Harrisburg, tho capital of Pa, but
whether we nro to go there or not prob
ably only Gen. Leo and a fow of his.
junior Generals know. Wo hear of
no organised .force of tho enemy except
Pennsylvania Militia, in this vicinity,
but wo will probably raise a clatter be
fore long.
Sunday Morning, Juno 28.
Yesterday the march was continued
on through Greencastlo and Chambers-
burg, cloven miles from the former
plnco, and aro now bivouacked for tho
day two miles from the latter. Sinco
leaving Williamsport our route lias
lain through one of tho richest sections
of country I have ever seon,- Clover,
wheat and corn are tho chief and al
most entire productions, and there is
comparatively little corn growing, but'
the growth is very large and heavy.
One is surprised to see so many large
fine barns; somo of them built of brick,
others .of stone and still others of \yqo4
and, printed. They look as fi.no as
qhurcliqs'au,d, aye twice a,s large..
Gireeneastlo is n, place <Jf somo ft('teen
hundred or tivO thousand inhabitants,
of neat and rather pleasant aspect.
Few men, lmt a largo numbor of ladies
showed themselves, as we marched
through, and there was such a strong
expression. of dread and apprehension
on tho countenances of all as to onsily
excito emotions of pity. I only saw
two or three persons there even smile,
and this was nt somo drollery of the
soldiers (hat would have “made a hbrso
laugh,” whilo several worq seen weep
ing.
Chnmboi'sbuvg is the county site of
Franklin county, contains 5000 or 6^00
inhabitants, is on the Railroad running
from Hagerstown to lrnrrisburg, is
rather a pretty town and lias tho up
pearance of considerable business.
The stores and most of tho dwellings
hero, ns well ns nt Greencastlo, • wero
closed when wo marched through.
The Quartermasters of Ronds’ Division
lmd pressed noarly all tho hoots, shoes,
lints and' other articles suitable to tho
army, beforo wecamoup.
We are sloping here to-day to rest,
wash our clothes, and cook threo duys
rations. If wn go that way, and are
not interrupted, wo can easily inarch
to Harrisburg in thiec days, it being
fifty miles. The Flag of tho Light
Guaids was carried yesterday at tho
head of tho Regiment and received
considerable attention as wo passed
through tho town, l'ho very best of
spirits prevail and tho Bovs have their
own fun ns they “plod their weary
way” through tho land of suppressed
public speech, a slnvo press and free
negroes.
Monday Morning.—All quiet yet and
no orders to move. Is thought wo
will remain hero to day.

Wednesday morn. July 1, ’03. }
Dear Coi-iukr: I.ast'Sunday meriting
I handed tho mail carrier n letter giv
ing some account of our movements
during tho three days previous. Dotil
know whether thnt latter is sent ofl’yet,
and now write a few additional lines,
■o that if an opportunity is offered tho
latest date possible may bo sont you.
Sunday and Monday our Division
remained near Chatnbersburg, Uttlo oc
curring .of interest. Out Comissnrics
and Quartermasters issued somo flour
and bacon but mottling else of any con
siderable value, unless it was for their
own use, or that of some few favorites.
I do not suppose they got much though
for anybody. The stores were all closed
arid their owners hid out many of their
goods, hut the aforesaid oflicers hud
orders to enter them forcibly if need
ho and press such nrticlos ns were, of
prime necessity for * thc army. Tito
Railroad track was taken up for two or
three miles nnd forty-two bauds of
whisky was destroyod near camp -. but
not a building has been burnt, not
oven tiie depot anil Court house, the’
some litto depredations have been com
mitted yet, private property lias been
respected quite ns much ns it would
have been in our own territory.
Ewell’s corps, or at least a portion of
it, lias been ns far ns CarfliVo—twenty-
two miles from Harrisburg—but it is
said thnt thoy have now turned back.
Yesterday mourn.g wc left the vicinity
of Chanihcrsburg, out], taking the Bal
timore l’iko marched to Fayetteville—
six miles from C.—where ire now aro.
A ridge of mountains, lie between us
and Hagerstown. A very largo force is
now massed in this vioinity. It is re
ported tliat Hooker is coming on and
-if so wo will meet him in a day or two.
It is now So’clock, tho men are cooking
rations, nnd ordered to be "ready to
move.as soon ns possible.
Thursday Morning.—Yesterdy at 4
o’clock -P; M. wo moved out to tho
Baltimore l’ike twelve miles passing
through a gap of tho South mountains
and by tho Caledot ia Iron -Works that
have boon burned. Halted at mid
night nnd resumed tho march again
at 3 o’clock this morning, having pro
ceeded six miles we arm now in lino
of battle one mile from Gettysburg. A
severe battlo was fought here yesterday.
A portion of Ponder’s and Hill’s Divis
ions were engaged on our side. Arch
er’s Brigado suffered very severely ho
and some live hundred or more of liis
men wero taken prisoners. Maj. Gen.
Ueth was slightly wounded. The en
emy wore driven back somo threo miles
through tho town which our forces now
occupy. Nearly three thousand of tho
•nemy wero captured, inoliidiug-a num
ber of officors but I hear of pono rank

July 7, 1863,
Dear Courier-: Whilo resting for a
short timo on the.waysjdo tho opportu
nity is ombrucud to say a fow things in
regard to the reccntawful, bloody nnd
hard fought battlo at Gettysburg, Pa.
Tito carnage ivns grenter probably titan
on nny other field sinco the commence
ment of this wicked war. The fight
commenced on Wednesday, July tho
1st; on tliat day only two Divisions
and these of A. P. Hill's corps who
generally engaged, Tiie enemy lit tiie
Commencement of that day- had their
lino out somo mile or moro to the v. :t
of town hut they wero driven buck
with great slaughter through the town
and our lir.o at night, established on
the enat side of tiie pluco. That day
our forces captured about tlil'se thou
sand prisoners. Tho losses on both
sidos, considering tho comparatively
small numbers engaged were heavy.
Hood’s Division arrived from Fayetto-
villo Thursday morning, and McLaws’
Division arrived also. Until noon our
army was engaged in finding tho loca.
tion of tho enemy and in getting into
position. Arrangements were made
fox Hood’s Division to chnrgoa strong
position opposito to,our right. We
moved down to tho right and commen
ced fire about three o’clock. Our
march to the right was continued un
til tho forco was opposito tiie desired
point when tho order to move by tho
left ilunk wns promptly oboyod and a
more splendid line of brave moo never
moved on to deadly combat than this
on that occasion. This lino of battlo
was carried forward about a half mile
ujidar tho most dreadfut cannonading
the Abolitionists have ever been able
to bring to bear upon our forces, iti
perfect order; tho men were in good
spirits aHd bravely determined to carry
all obstacles kclore them ; on, on thoy
moved in firm and stendy lino through
wheat field and woods, over rooks and
fences, not wavering even when the
lines wero opened ly tiie shell and
cannon shot of the enemy and tiiougi
tho deadly missies wero almost con
stantly whizzing over their Rends. At
last coming up to within about a hun
dred yards of a-hc-nvy rook bmiit work
tho foe opened a most deadly firo of
musketry. Still, undaunted, our bravo
men never flinched, but moved on to
within ubout 76 yards of tho enemy’s
line, they .wore ordered to lmlt. Being
in tho woods tho men took such pro
tection ns was afforded by tho trees
and poured a most dcudiy firo upon
the Abolition hordes. After n short
time our Brigade wns ordered to fall
back a short distance, about twenty
or thirty yards—after resting a very
few minutes thoy again chnrged for
ward with great spirit and dotorruinn-
tion ; again they fell back, and again
Charged forward but after nil thoy were
reluctantly compelled- to glvo up nnd
so thoy returned in good order.
l'ho other Brigades of our divisionrill
fought -nnd sutferod in a similar man
ner. Our Brigade lost in killed woun
ded and missing 900 out of 2000 carried
into tho fight.
Friday tho battlo was resumed on
tho snmo lines as the day boforo, and
ended in about tho same way, after
hard fighting, heavy losing and no
permanent gaining on our sido.
Tltiro wero threo days of tho most
severe fighting of the entire war during
somo part of tiie tiino aud at same point
nearly every Brigado of Lougstreot’s,
A. V. Hill’s nnd Kwoll’s wero engaged.
At somo points the cnomy wero tem
porarily driven back but tho strength
of their position nnd their facilities for
reih forcing were sucli ns to cnnblo the
enemy to soon again rctako their lost
ground.
Our loss hn$ been vory heavy. At
presont the only expression of number
must bo vaguo,say 30,000 killed, nmmed
and missing.
Saturday Our wounded woyo ordered
to move off towards Wincliostor, Va.,
all that could walk and also sucli as
could be carried in tho ambulances,
and as my wound is in tho arm I was
sent off' with tho walking sqtiad, and
am now, Wodnesdoy evening, at Win
chester, having walked nearly the
wholo distance from Gettysburg, about
90 miles in five days.
Tho Eototnac had been so swollen
by the rebent rains that it was not ford-
ablo, nnd as tho Yanks had dashed in
rind,destroyed our Foutbon Bridge ho :
low 'Williamsport* It has boon a vory
tedious job to got somo twenty miles of
wagons and several thousand wounded
moivbver that stream in one small ferry
boqt. jSince Sunday morning thoy have
been crossing as rapidly as tho nature
of tlio case wogld admit, but they'are
not noarly all over yet.
Tho Yanks made an attack on our
wagon train and ambulances "nt [Will
iamsport Monday evening, but they
wero repulsed, with a loss of most of
their artillery, 3 or 4 pieces, and some
two hundred men. No kiss on ouv
side of any aramlnt. Between Gettys
burg and W. thoy twied attacked our
train and each time’ captured a few
wagons say forty or fifty in all--though
the accounts nro much ot variance ns
to numbers.
i’roVably boforo this reaches you full

' July 17th, 1863.
Dear Courier -.—Scattered along tho
railroad between Chattanooga and
Cleveland, is encamped a corps of tho
army of Tennesseo. Wo wero quite
disheartened, the other day, ns wo
crossed tho mountain and tho river,
leaving the golden fields of Middle
Tannesseo to the spoliation of tho foo ;
gloomy forobodings possessed us, ns wo
contemplated tho want of confidence
and discijflino" which prevailed through
apoition ol our ranks. Murmuring
voices wero often heard, and a laxity of
discipline wns seen and felt, somewhat
alarming when-.ve consider tho mutual
harmony nnd confidenco necossary to
secure efficiency amnxilieronco in tho
army. But hotter thoughts enmo with
tho pence and quiot which it o now on-
joy, and these gloomy forobodings nro
wearing away.
A rotrospeotivo survey of our move
ments for tho past month, soon now
in our calmer moments, oonvinooa us
that tho policy of our generals wns
prudent and wiso ; that .other objoots
in other portions of tho Confederacy,
moro important than the more holding
of Middle Tonnosscc, govern the move
ments of our forces hero, to a very con
siderable oxtont; and that tho relation
ship whieh exists between tho several
portions of tiie command of Gen. John,
slon—part hero and part in Mississip-
pi»-aro mutual, alike affecting its inter
ests and offectivoucss, in its seperute
and iutogral parts. So with a bettor
understanding of "the situation,” wo
feel again assurod and confident, nnd
nro ready for a further discharge of our
duty, necessary towards solving tho
problem of our country’s salvation,
Now, in tho orisis-hour of tho Con
federacy, when the clouds hang dark
aud heavy over us, should our faith bo
strong to grasp the comforting truth
thnt God is still watching over us;
guiding our do3tinios as a people, still
mighty to snvo us from the wrath of
our oncmios, and eventually to give us
an honornblo placo and an enviable
numo among tho nations of tho earth.
Although our /uith may wavor, our
confidonco grow slack, and our hope
floo away, yet “the truth” is indubitable
and'will ovontually mako us free, in
tho time and way decreed by tho Al
mighty Disposer of events.
Tho duties and responsibilities rest
ing upon us as a nation and as individ
uals, aro as clearly - defined now,
and the discharge of them ns Impera
tive, as in moro hopeful days; arid he
who croaks and doubts now, when the
opposite courso is so necessarily onjoin-
ed anrl expected, and who would shrink
from tho propor consideration and dis
charge of his bounilon duty; proves
himself to be a-poor philosopher, and
nn uusaie man. With tho light of
revolution and of history before .us, wo
ought to toil and . struggle on, ever
hopeful and bouy.ant, learning in our
daily experience to labor nnd to Mutt.
Away then .with desponding, and (its
trust; let us discharge our respo.n.sihili-
lies.faithfully ; timo will tako o.tty ot.
