FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Nov. 4, 1863.
The President's recent visit to Charleston,
one of the principle theatres of the war,pro
ducied, it seems, the most lively enthusiasm,
uff-mling encouragement, as it did, to its
lirave defenders, whose skill, courage and
patience are tasked to the utmost by the
perilous eircumstan.es in which they stand.
His speech on his arrival at the City Hall,
on his introduction to its Mayor, is phrased
very happily, as, in fact, all his public ad
dresses, during his progress through the
country, have been. The President is one
ol those public functionaries who, fortu
nately for himself, writes his own addresses,
and docs not depend on a Secretary to per
form that service for him. The people are
pleased that he should do so, especially as
he always speaks sensibly and to the point,
and does not fatigue them with long and
pro'jy liarrangues. Charleston, and the
reminiscences that cluster around it, furnish
a rruiilul theme for this patriot, the poet
and the orator at any time, and more, per
haps, may be sai 1 of a flattering character of
its Statesmen, heroeS. *sigcs and scholar's,
than those of iituvJelAuy ol our Southern
cities. The PreakUtU. carefully, and with
good taste, avoids indulgirt£ in a lone of re
in irk which would be likely to excite the
riva’ry of the cities of the South,and glanced
simply at the preset condition of that an
cient city, assailfcd, as it fiercely is, by its
truculent enemies, and as furnishing au oc
casion for his hcar-felt sympathy. His aims,
as he states them, were practical. He wish
ed, lie said, to satisfy himself by personal ob
servation, and by conference with the com
manding General, as to the wants and con
dition of that portion of our army, in order
that he might address Iiihiself intelligently
to the applications and reports that ftoni
time to time are made to him.
• His reception by the inhabitants, ever dis
tinguished b.) their gvacQtolftoTpitaUtj'iiud
who turned out in' ero-.vds tutesiify tlfeir
respect to the lirst President of the Southern
Confederacy, must have been particularly
gi'fttilyiug to His Excellency. Daring the
continuance of the United States, Mr. Polk
and Mr. Pi 1 more were, I believe, the only
t vo of oitr President's Who ever paid Gharlgs*
ton a visit.
It is evideut that- President D.vvis aeject-^
e l the present eventful moment' to visit the
South, and Charleston and Ohattanoag* es
pecially, not for the purpose of being fetol
aud made muck oi—not, in a word, tor any
political cads eonneeted with, his personal
aggrandizement aud fame, but simply in or
der to make himself ltuqiliar with the con
dition of the army and all its surroundings
m those cities, which are the battle grounds
of the day, as well as with the preparations
that have becu made by other cities-equal-
]y as dear to the South and to him, aud
which are likely soon to be assailed by the
enemv. His a'llusioiF to Mr. Calhoun and
the statesmen ot his school, from whom he
acknowledged that be has derivedjLhe views
he entertains of the theory of our Govern
ment, was well timed, and must have been
very agreeable to the citizens of South Car
olina, who cheiish the deepest reverence for"
- the memory of that great champion of the
Statu Rights doctrine.
Probable uo individual among the con
temporaries ot that great mau Avails so vi
vidly the remarkable characteristics that
distinguished him as a political philogoper
for which, Mr. Calhoun, during the whole of
his public career, earnestly contended.
W e, arc hearing bad news to-daj 4 from
Chattajiooga and its neighborhood—a con
firmation of the evif tidings, that came to us
from the North, and which like most Nor.h-
ei n reports of news, was not Credited. So
h is possible that after the glorious victory re-
cently gained in that quarter, wc should lose
all its solid advantages and the bright hopes
which it opened to us, by the culpable remiss
ness of our own army or of that portion of it
more especially whose duty it is to guard the
outposts. As the matter is now' represented to
us, and the information comes to us from
our friends who communicated it with mor
tification and bitterness of spirit, that the
enemy are actually in possession of
Lookout mountain, and have opened a com
munication for their supplies, which will op-
able them fo hold Chattanooga in peifvct
eccurily, as long as they may think proper.
Thora is no news of the slightest impor
tance in this quarter. Butler, the Beast, it
seems, has been assigned to the eighteenth
army corps, Department (as it is called) of
Virginia and North Carolina, in place of
Gen. Foster. That the soil of the South
should be again polluted by the presence of
this brute in human form, is greatly to be
deplored. He must surround himself with
a strong guard wherever he goes at the
South, for there are many brave and coura
geous spirits who will make short work
should they encounter him.
The Virginia Legislature, after a session
pf some months, and having accomplished
but little by their consultations and debates
on important matters, has at length adjourn
ed sine die, leaving it doubtful whether leg
islative bodies, from the dilitory manner in
which they discharge the duties intrusted to
them, are of much importauce to the people.
Some were of opinion that a couple dozen
able and well men, from the different dis
tricts would have dispatched the public af
fairs now most prising,more to the general
satisfaction, and at far less . expense to the

as for strength. The leagth of each is 230
feet, the beam 42 feet, and the extreme
depth less than 20 feel. The burden is bnt
1000 tons register, and the drought of each
vessel when loaded will be some 15 feet,
the deck being about G.feefc above the water
liHe, all the intermediate surfaee being pro
tected—first, by a coating ot teak over the
iron skin of the skip, and then by armor
plates over that, each massive scale being
5£ inches thick,’ Af! this armor is dovetail
ed together so accurately that the joints are
scarcely perceptible. The deck is of 5 inch
teak, covered with iron, and the bulwarks
are almost of iron, being so made as to let
down outwards, and thus to clear the decks
during action. Two revolving turrets, on
the well known principles invented by Capt
Coles, are apportioned to each ship, one tur
ret being before and the other abatt her en
gine roor*.. There is also, a pilot house
strongly built ot teak, and iron plated. Each
turret carries two guns, placed in close prox-
iiniti’, eo that they cai* be brought to bear
nearly in the same position at one time. In
the case of the Mounamr, one turret is be
ing last completed on a spot situated at some
little distance from the hull, and the plan of
construction is at present laid bare. Its
wall is a series of celular spaces, like the
chine of a shell fish, and all these iron cells
are to be filled up with teak, making one
solid and uniform mass, which is to be
again strengthed and rendered well nigh
impregnable by armor plates. At each
end oi the vessel is a raised deck, forming
tolerably commodious quarters for officers
and men ; and the forecastle is made to car
ry one or two heavy guas, if they be needed
In the Captain’s cabin are port holes lor two
32-pounders; and each ram has a capacity

ter is true to the land of her birth, and has
with all her modesty and elegance, borne
the Federal rule with ill grace.
Not many days ago, an externally elegant
Federal officer called on MissLuttrell, send
ing in his card. Miss-L. was passing through
the hall as the negro servant girl handed her
the carte de visile. At that instant, too, the
Yankee officer entered. Miss L, turning to
biack Judy, said, in the hearing of the ex
quisite: “Here, Judy, this card is yours;
attend to your beau.”
The officer, in blank astonishment, stared
for a moment into the face of grinning Judy,
and suddenly left in intense disgust.
The cowardly villaiu sought to avenge
himself by insulting Miss Luttrell on the
street, whispering audibly as she- passed,
“ You are a d—d she rebel.” She bore it
till she found the gentlemanly' (?) officer in
presence of the Commanding General, when
she stated tbafrCapt. Pike, of Iowa, was in
the habit of cursing her when they met.—
Pike dW not deny the charge, but slunk
away like a whipped spaniel.
Whether Burnside has the power or dis
position to puuish such outrages, we arc not
advised. It is to be presumed that South
ern ladies in the midst of Federal armies
must quietly endure the visits of officers and
men, and though they take negro wenches
to the church and theatre, it seems they will
not endure theqa in private parlors.—Knox

General Order No. 32.
Officers and Soldiers of ihe
20t7i Army Corjps :
(. ,An order will soon reach you consolida
ting your gallant regiments, brigades and
divisions with the 21st Corps. With that
order 1 am relieved from command in this
army; and directed to report at Indianapo
lis, Indiana, there to appear before a court
ot iuquiry.
After being* relieved from command, I
could ask no greater favor of the War De
partment than a thorough investigation of.
my conduct during the two memorable days
of Ckickamauga, for 1 do not fear the issue.
My groat regret will be the breaking up of
the glorious associations formed after so
long service in the Armyot the Cumber
land, and the bidding farewell to the gallant
officers and soldiers in this corps,
You will have new corps and division
commanders; to them, as yon have at all
times to me, yield obedience. Give them
additional evidences of your discipline, zeal
and patriotism ih our cause; and never lay
down your armr until this unholy rebellion
is crushed, the Union permanently restored,
find a peiee secured that will allow yon to
return to your homes and firesides.
You have been slandered and maligned
by news scribblers, who, unfortunately, in
our country, mould the public mind. Offi
cial reports will do you justice before the
world,
I return «iy thanks to every officer and
soldier of the corps-for his gallantry in ac
tion, and his hearty co-operation and devo
tion »o duty. ^
Willi this I leave you, and my earnest
prayer ever shall be, that God may prosper
you as a corps, and as individuals, and ever
give you victory when struggling for your
nation and glorious flag.

To the Officern jind Soldiers
of'pie 2ist Army Corps ;
The General commanding announces with
sorrow that the name of his corps has been
stricken from the army rolls, and that he
has beau rcl ieved trorn duty and ordered to
report .to Indianapolis, that his conduct in
the late battles of Ghickamauga may be in-’
ves Ligated.
The Grneral commanding regrets the sep
aration from his command—not the investi
gation. Investigation—the closest scrutiny
—however it may a fleet; him, can only
brighten your tame. Your deed3 at Chick-
amauga, as at Stone river, will hand down
to posterity your honored names.
Yon have honored me! The mighty
hand of the 21st .Army Ot?r= has graven
the name of its commander on famous pa
ges of the past. And the slanderers tongue
caunot revoke the pas’.

THE ENEMY’S BOMBARDMENT OE SUMTER.
Ten days have elapsed since the opening
of tho second grand bombardment of Sum
ter, which commenced on the 26th ol Octo
ber. It has been more uninterrupted and
heavier than the first.
The first bopjbardmcut began on the 17ch
of August, and was concluded, after inter
missions, by the combined attack of the 2d
of September. The fort having already been
silenced and battered to a ruin, the fire then
subsided. ' The artillerists lett in the fort
were half of them unfit for duty from ex-
hauslion and exposure. Artillerists were
wanted and ppplied for to fight guns in oth
er positions. They were all withdrawn from
the fort on September 5th, with their Com
mander. Col. Alfred Rhett. During these 19
days 7551 shots were fired, aud Sumter w$s
struck 5034 times. The casualties were 57—
8 killed and 49 wounded. The flag was cut
down 14 times, notwithstanding the distance
of the enemy’s guns.
A garrison entirely of riflemen was sent
down, September 5th, under Maj. Stepken
Elliott, to hold the work, particularly against
assaults. Oa the 8th, Dahlgren’s assault
from barges was made and was handsomely
repulsed without a casualty. From Septem
ber 5th to October 29th, during fiftgffiays, a
very small number of shots was firecHu'Che
fort, namely, 007 shots, of which but 370
struck the work. Meanwhile our defences
have progressed.
The enemy’s labors on Morris’ Island be
ing completed, the second ' grand bombard
ment commenced on the 26th of October,
aud has been kept up for ten days without
intermissiou. Our brave troops under Maj.
Elliott are subject to a trying ordeal, and the
eatliern bombproots and traverses erected by
our engineers are put to a severe test.
Since the 26th of Gctober, 7425 shots have
been fired at'Sumter, of which 6298 have
struck it.—The casualties have been 39—19
killed and 20 wounded; 13 of these were
killed by the falling of the barrack wall.—
The flag placed low on the Southwest angle,
at which the enemy’s fire has been much di
rected at short range, has been cut down
about twenty times; two ensigns have been
torn to pieces by the fire. It is gratifying
to believe that the bombproof3 arc as yet un
impaired. .

Pipes and Collars.—Among the lattet

sweetheart, it is uppermost in his affectionss
Even his daily meals, by which his life in

may' judge by the almost constant attention

can make his appearauce on- the street with
commendable saiisfaction. The balance of
his outfit is wonderfully adorned and un
proved by' these. To show the demand for
the two ar.icles that bead this piece, we may
state that they' constitute no considerable
portion of eauh cargo that slips through the
blockade, and never go begging at the huge
$ales. At a reeerrt sale in Wilmington, a
large Southern firm made a purchase of bri
ar root pities, to the value of $75,000. And
more recently, a firm in this city purchased
a lot of iinnen collars, the bill for which .
was $27,000. In connection with the pipes,
we should like jto be able to compute the
quantity and value of the tobacco smoked

Tiie Result tn Pennslyyania.—We have

The estimates’ which we have made, from
counties not yet heard from, are based upon
the returns from Curtin and Foster, in 1800,
with all due allbwanco for local causes. The
result in the St$te will not vary' materially
from the folio wing:
Thirty-seven counties give Curtin ma-

The Mobile Register says an officer of the
cavalry force near Bay St. Louis, who has
arrived in Mobilo, says, upon the authority
of a gentleman Of- the first respectability,
just out from New Orleaus, and with whom
he had conversed, that it is currently report
ed and believed in that city, that Banks has
been badly' beaten on Red River. The ru
mor is that he lost four thousand prisoners,
but no allusion to the subject i3 permitted iu
the papers. It will be remembered that the
la3t Yankee accounts represcuted onr forces
as falling back to Red River, and Banks
was said to be on his way to assist in their
utter discomfiture.

in relation 11 fu.‘I. I trust you will be able to secure a
supply of fu»i Irom the other three roads ruining into
Atlanta*. We employ an extra train at' each end cf our
road, with hands, they bring in wood, as cu t on line of
rea l between stations, and encourage evi ry man on cur
line to cut a little. With su ;h distance your c'tjr can be
supplied, I dn not think it. can otherwise be.
Yours respscthi’dy,
GLO. YONGE, Fup’A
GEORGIA RAIL ROAD,* )
Augusta, Oct. ith, 1S68. f
To ,
Sir.—There.are one hundred miles of our road which*
furnish no fuel oriimber, and this se.tiin,“ibe centred
our road,” has to be supplied from Unity to forty miles
off each end-of road. Vf ? are in danger cf running short
of wood to keep our trains in acorien. No other road is
so unfortunately si’uated; to supply thecentie ofour
read, we have t> employ two extra engines; labor and
fuel is scirce, and the employment of the labor on our
line In cutting wood for oth.r parties deprive us of as
much fuel as tie labor bo employed produces for pther
parties.
There are two other roads running into Atlanta, and
twointo Aug.ista, whose liaej are better supplied with
fuel, and by their employing extra trains, as is done by
t; is road, the upply of wood might be made ample.—
Th's roa 1 should nrt be called upou to Supply (any fuel,
yttl believe we 'nave furaished three-fourihs of it.
I have stated these fee's, to urge the importance of
your 1 ioi ing to other line3 for a supply of uel, and al
though cur necessities compel me to u ge that no fuel
should be drawn from the lina of this road, yet., If you
will furt ish me with an estimate of amount required, 1
will agree that one-thi d of it should be drawa from our
line.
The above course is necessary ia dealing With agenis
in charge or government works.
The publie is notified that the road will not transport
fuel off its liae for private use, which is suitable for con
sumption by engines. Very respectfully,
GEO. YON’GE, Sup’t..

eminent trar sjortaiion, corn, lumber, cattle, Ac., is so
heavy that we are haruly able to haul the wood aud ties
required for the sperations of the read, and theilimuni-
tion of labor which your remark about, hai fo:ced us to

Maton & Bruns wick R R., some 30 miles below this city,
aud all which we h rve to Inal.
We have net been able to bripg any wood in here, and
I can see no prospect unless the government will yield
some part of their transportation for your needs, of meet,

at any time during tin winter, we will gladly assist in
your laudable undertaking.
