EXPEDITION INTO NOBTH GEORGIA.
Bomc week or two since we gave a correct
account of Major Lee’s expedition alter
torieB and deserters in North Georgia, as we.
received it from the lips of Leiut. R. F.
Holmes the companion and adjutant of Ma
jor Lee in the {expedition. In that account
we stated (that at Dablouega on the 15th of
September last, Major Lie “divided his bat.
ion, placing'onc part under the command of
Capt. J. C. Hendricks, aud retaining that of
the other himself.” Of course we could re
reive lull ^information only ol the acts and
doings of that part of the command under
Major Lee.
We now resume the subject for the pur
pose of noticing the part that Capt. Hen
drix's command took in the work which has
resulted so successfully in freeing our State
<>{ the lories, deserters and traitors who had
made the mountain fastnesses of Georgia, as
they though!, n secure retreat tor their nefa-
i ious operations. We are glad, aTso, to have
it in our power to do justice to the brave
men and officers who suffered and endured
what brave men only will, in behalf ol the
Government to which they owe allegiance.
From D.ihloncga Capt. Hendrix proceed
ed to White county, routed Furguson and
his hand, aud then inarched to Blairsville,
when he received information that Bryson,
with his band, was organizing and driving
out about 250 government cattle which had
been herded there. His command moved
by night to Murphy, Tcnn.; thence down
the Hiwassce river, whore another portion
01 MaJ. Lee’s command met him.
The whole command then moved under
direction of Capt. Ilcndrix to Coker crcek >
routed the pickets, and followed their track
to Tillieo plains. Here they got cm chase
of Bryson’s men, aud pursued them within
2 miles of Loudon, capturing a number of
prisoners, horses, &c., and killing 3 of the
lories. Thence they returned through Til-
lieo mountains by night, with no road, or
even in a great many places but a trail to
follow, and arrived hack to Murphy on the
?7ih without loss oT man or horse.
LI. IJunnicutt, who c ommanded the disa
bled, or so-called Broken-Leg Company,
acted, both himself and command, with
noble gallantry, and rendered effectual ser
vice. Also, Ll. Smith, Capt. Logau, Capt.
Young, Lts. Clark, ({rambling and Paxton,
all acted most nobly, enduring privation of
food and other hardships all the time with
out a murmur.
The Broken Leg company are all disabled
soldiers who have been through the Virginia
carnpui/n. All the prisoners’ horses were
brought off safe to Murphy, where a quan-
lity of leather and other articles which were
stolen by (lie prisoners were captured. Most
of the cattle were captured and Bryson eu*
lirely routed.
We publish on the first page of this
morning’s issue, a very interesting letter
from our correspondent “Cr.to,” at Richmond
which will repay perusal.

sick, or smooth the pillow of anguish and
distress, than the native boin daughters of
onr own sunny South.
My suggestion is thU : From the societies,
or at their homes, let the ladies determine
the hospital or ward to which they will give
attention; confer with the medical officer as
to the proper patients for special diet or at
tention ; take entire charge of such, no one
else being allowed to interfere, and each day
by conference with the sick, their wants are
ascertained and supplied easily from the
common stock, or home larder, following up
the cases by daily visits, and not attempting
to feed or nurse every one, but such a num
ber merely as c&u be attended without fa
tigue or serious inconvenience.
In this way you at once become acquaint*
txl with the waut3 of your patients; mutual
interest springs op, aud an unlimited scope
is presented for every philanthropic impulse
free Irom the possibility ot harm, while your
efforts are recorded in the hearts of the re
lieved, to he developed moie fully around
the firesides of their distant homes, where
the wife’s silent tears speak blessings on
your head, and the young ones lisp praises
to their distant benefactress.

OtfS M0SPirALS-A SUGGESTION.
Language can but imperfectly express the
gratitude felt by onr sick ami wounded sol
diers in hospital ior the many and contin
ued evidences of hearfelt sympathy and ma
terial aid afforded by our patriotic ladies to
them ia their sufferings and distress. I may
add that ull connected, intimately, with the
hospitals acknowledge with pleasure their
untiring devo'ion to the cause and interests
of our wounded soldiers.
But to many it is quite apparent that they
are often discouraged and disappointed in
iteir efforts ; find their pains-taking avails
little, compared with their desires, and often,
perhaps, have the mortifying reflection that
iheir efforts to benefit and relieve the suffer
ing have been misdirected, and may possi
bly result detrimentally.
Having some experience in matters of this
sort, and teeling auxious that every effort of
onr ladies in this direction shall avail lor
good, I trust they w ill receive the suggestion
m the spirit which prompts it, with, too, the
confident opinion, that nowhere on this hab
itable globe are to be found ladies better
suited to administer comfort to the wound-

rear and discovering his object, and at the
same time to harrass him; but Gen, Lee was
too old a soldier “to be caught napping.’’-*--
Fitz. Lee had been left behind; to provide
against exactly such a contingency as this,
and Buford soon “felt him,” at Morton’s
Ford, on the Rapidan, across whioh Fitz.
Lee drove him, and back still as far as Bran
dy station, where Buford formed a junction
with Kilpatrick, who was just then retiring
before Stuart, who had pressed him down
the Sperryville pike, and on by the Goard-
vine Bliurch road. Here the enemy made a
stubborn resiatence, bringing their iniantry
into action, but it was no go; “forward” was
the word with us, and “backward” for the
enemy. Just before night they gave baek
and crossed the Rappahannock river. Iu
this fight, we captured some tliiee hundred
prisoners, and some fifty of their wounded
also fell into otir hands. Our loss in the
whole engagemeut is abont seventy-five in
killed and wounded. Thus far, you will
sec that our infantry have not been brought
into play. Oar motto, however, is still on
ward, and if there is any fight in the onemy,
we will give them a crushing defeat before
the week closes.
Our troops took possession of this place
about three o’clock yesterday. The la3t of
the enemy’s infantry retired through here
about one o’clock. Onr movement, I am
told by citizens, was not discovered by the
enemy until about twelve o’clock on Satur
day ; from which time until about the same
hour on Sunday—at which time their last
train of cars left here—they worked like
beavers, and succeeded in gettrng off nearly
all their stores, though I hear we captured
a few from them.
I am satisfied that they never had here
more than seven corps, viz: the 1st, 2d, 3d,
5th, Gth, 11th and 12lh. The two latter were
sent about two weeks ago to reinforce Rose-
crans. Bo that, at this time, the Yankee ar
my has not over five corps and not over fifty
thousand men in all. Meade’s headquarters
while here were at Dug Wattach's house, and
Gen. Patrick’s, Provost Marshal General,
were at I)r. Taliaferro’s.

I FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
Culpeper C. H., Va M Get. 12‘ 1863.
1 will take a moment as the army moves
along to write you pf the incidents of the
campaign up to this writing. The forward
movement on the part of the Army of North
ern Virginia began on Thursday morning
last, at which time Generals Anderson and
Heth moved their divisions from the vicini
ty of Payton’s Ford and Rapidan bridge,
where they had been encamped for some
time past, up to and beyond Orange Court
House, on the road leading to Cave’s Ford,
and within two miles of that point, where
they encamped for the night, and set to work
in cooking rations for three days. The trans
portation was in excellent order and the men
were in the finest kind of spirits. The only
drawback to the general fine appearance of
the army wa9 the fact that a number of men
in each of these divisions were barefooted.
Thursday evening evening everything was
astir and everybody was in conjecture as to
what was on foot. At an early hour Gener
als Hill and Ewell went to Generals Lee’s
headquarters and had a prolonged inter
view. On Friday morning at an early hour
Wilcox’s brigade, which had, up to this time
been lying still in their camps, near Bar
nett’s Ford, took up the line ot march, form
ing the rear of A. P. Hill’s column. All of
these troops crossed the Rapidan early Fri
day morning, rebel fashion, by wading, at
Cave’s lord, and proceeded on towards Mad
ison C. H. At dawn, Rode’s division which
was in the advance of Ewell’s corps, moved
up to Orange C. H., and soon were iollowed
by Johnson’s and Early’s divisions. These
troops moved across the river, at Barnett’s
ford, and thcncefto the South of Hill’s corps
on the dirt road to Madison C. H.
Meanwhile this movement had been so
secretly conducted that the enemy knew no
thing of our plans or purposes. We were
still keeping up a show of force in front of
them upon the Rapidan, by burning heavy
camp fires, and by keeping up our regular
picket force in front. And the better to con
ceal our advance we had so moved onr force
as to keep it concealed from the enemy from
their lookouts upon Thoroughfare mountain
and other elevated points. Friday evening,
about 4 o’clock, Stuai t began to advance,
keeping on onr right as we advanced, and
so moving as to swing his column around
towards Culpeper C. H.; resting on Friday
night not far below and beyond Madison C.
House.
On Saturday morning our infantry were
on the move at dawn, and crossed the Rob
inson river near Criglcrsville, and a short
time thereafter the cavalry succeeded in
flanking and capturing the whole of the
127th New York infantry, and in getting
possession of Thoroughfare mountain,which
had been the day before a Yankee signal
stalion. The possession of the mountain
enabled us to watch the movements of the
enemy, whilst oars were still concealed from
them. About 3 o’clock in the evening Stu
art came up with the enemy’s cavalry near
James Cfty, about ten miles above Culpeper
C H and engaged them whilst onr infautry
passed around to the left. The firing lasted
until after night, and during the engagement
the enemy attempted to lake, by charging,
Moorman’s battery, but were signally repul
sed by Hampton’s cavalry.
On Sunday morning the enemy sent Bu
ford across at Germanna Ford ; on the Rap.
idan, for the purpose of following in Lee* g
A Ficuit in a Church.—The capture of
the Captain and a portion ol the crew of the
United States gunboat Rattler, who had
gone ashore at Rodney, to attend church,
has been noticed. The Missisippiau gives
some further particulars of the scene:
“ Lieutenant Allen, of Logan’s command,
having been informed that the crew of the
gunboat Rodney were in the habit of attend
ing church, determined to try an experiment;
dressing himself in citizen’s garb, he leisure
ly sauntered into town last last Sunday, and
had the pleasure of finding some twenty
two of the Yankee officers and men dressed
in their best toggery, snugly seated ia the
quiet aud unsuspected congregation. With
this information he left town and soon re
turned in command of a squad of men, he
entered the church, and appologized to the
preacher for having to disturb him for a lew
moments, stating that he had called to de
mand the surrender of the demand of the
United States soldiers in the congregation.
Instantly the engineer of the gunboat jump
ed behind the door and fired on Lieutenant
Allen, the ball passing through his cap. Al
len returend the fire and sent the engineer
to liis long home. A general scattering and
firing ensued, resulting in killing • two Yan-
kess and wounding another, and in the cap
ture of Captain Yentrees, of the gunboat,
one Lieutenant and fifteen men.
When asked by a citizen what command
tloey belonged to, Capt. Yentress touched his
hat and replied, “ To Logan's command.”
The Yankees bore their capture with a good
deal of nonchalance, seeming to regard it as
a good joke. Those on the gunboat, seeing
the affair, commenced a furions shelling
over but not on the town. Lieut. Allen ad
dressed the commander a note, stating that
his force belonged to the army of the Con
federate States; that the peoplo of Rodney
were in no wise responsible for what liis
men had done, and if a solitary shell were
• thrown into tlie town he would hang liis
prisoners. Capt. Yentress also wrote a note
requesting that no damage should be done
to the town, as the whole affair was a legiti
mate military transaction. One old lady in
the midst of the melee shouted “ Glory to
God,” but the way the balance of the con
gregation rolled arouncl and mixed up pro
miscuously iu the midst of the fight is said
to have been rich beyond description, and
certainly very excusable.
Sudden and Mysterious Death.—Yes
terday, about tbc hpur of noon, a gentleman
named Colonel Allen (and concerning whom
nothiug further was known up to last night)
entered the Gem Saloon, under the Lin wood
House, with some friends, and partoook of
breakfast in their company. Wine was call
ed for and passed around, and the company
left, the gentleman named retaining his seat
at the table. In a short time one of the ser
vants notified Mr. Gough, one of the pro
prietors, 'hat the gentleman hail turned blue,
aud that he must be dying
An investigation revealed that he was
really dead, and Dr. Slack, a physician who
happened to be in the house, pronounced
death the result of disease of the heart.—
Acting Coroner Sanxay was notified, aud
reviewed the body, but did not deem an in
quest necessary. The body was removed by
an undertaker to the corner of Franklin and
Eighteenth streets, where the friends of the
deceased ean apply to-day for any further
information. The deceased Was apparently
about forty j ears ot age; dressed well iu
citizens clothes, and had the appearance of
a speculator.—Rich Ex.
The next Meeting of Congress.—Con
siderable confusion exists as to the time
when the next session, and the last, of the
First Congress will commence. Some sup
pose Congress will meet in, December, some
in January.
The Constitution of the Confedeaate
States provides, (Art.-f/Sec. 4 :)
“The Congress shall assembb at least
once in every year; and such meeting shall
be on the first Monday in December, unless
they shall, by law, appoint different a day.”
The Congress have not by any law of gen
eral application, appointed a different day
for their annual assembages. They met on
another day last winter, but it was under a
law limited to the special occasion. Oa their
last adjournment thev specefied no day for
their next meeting. The Constitution, there
fore, determines the time, and it ia the firsf
Monday in December,
Oa the 7th of December, therefore, which
s just seven weeks from Monday next, Con
gress will meet in this city.—Richmond Sen-
inel, Oct. 17-
