Richmond, Virginia, August 12,1861.
I promised to give you some account of the
battle-field of Manassas as seen by moonlight
and by sunlight. The first part of the prom
ise has been redeemed—the latter, much to my
regret, remains to be performed. It is any
thing but an inviting theme. One soon be
comes accustomed to the presence of the dead
and the dying—to headless bodies, torn and
trembling limbs, and the cries and struggles
of the wounded. His blood once up, he may
even become indifferent to danger—to the
dread shock of battle, “the clash of resound
ing arms,” the leaden hurricane sweeping and
crashing among the broken bones and man
gled bodies of the contending hosts. The
battle-field is not without its sublimity as well
as its terror. The long line of glittering bay
onets, the roll of a thousand drums, the wheel
ing and rushing of squadrons, the huge col
umns of dust and moke that shoot up like
great pyramids from the plains below, the in
cessant war of artillery and musketry, the
great balls and shells that rush screaming
through the air like winged devils escaped
from the regions of the damned—there is
something in all this to stir the blood, to in*
spire the heart, nerve the arm, and to make
one desire to end his life amid the mighty din
and uproar. But when the conflict is over
and the blood has resumed its accustomed flow,
there is something repulsive at least to me in
the sight of a battle field.
It commenced to rain early on Monday
morning—the day after the battle—and con
tinued to pour down in torrents all that day
and night. Tuesday the sun came out, and it
was very hot, as it was on Wednesday, when
I made my second visit to the field. All of
our wounded that could be found, were cared
for on Sunday night, though many of them
were exposed to the drenching rain on Mon
day, their tents not having arrived. This was
no disadvantage, however, as the rain served
to keep down fever and prevent mortification.
On Monday our dead were buried or boxed up
and sent home for interment, and many of the
enemy’s wounded were brought in and atten
ded to. All day Tuesday was devoted to bu
rying the dead on the other side, and yet the
work had not been half finished when I arri
ved on the field Wednesday morning. So in
tolerable was the stench arising from the
dead, and especially from the horses, that our
men had been compelled to suspend their hu
mane labors. I did hear that some of the
prisoneis we had taken, were subsequently
sent out and ordered to finish the work, which
they did, though reluctantly.
It was a sad sight—the battle field, that day.
The enemy’s dead still lay scattered in every
direction, and the silent vulture bad begun to
circle above them. They were well clad, and
were larger and stouter men than ours. Near
ly all of them were lying upon their backs,
some of them with their legsand arms stretch
ed out to the utmost. Many bad tbeir feel
drawn up somewhat, while their arms, from
the elbows, were raised and the hands rather
closed, after the fashion of boxers. It was a
singular and yet the prevailing attitude.—
Most of them had sandy or red hair, and I
have observed that this is the predominant
color among our own soldiers. Those who
were not killed instantly, had almost invaria
bly torn open their shirt colars, and loosened
their clothing about the waist. There was
another mark in addition to this, by which we
could tell whether their death was sudden or
lingering. It was the color of the face. If
the body had time to become cool and quiet
before death, the corpse was pale, though not
so much so as those who die from disease.—
Those who were killed instantly, however, and
while heated and excited, were purple and
black in the face. In such casts, the blood
being in fnll circulation, there was not time
for it to return to the heart before the body
had ceased all its functions. At least, I sup
pose such is the explanation, and a physician
o infirms me in it.
Such of the poor wretches as had been bu
ried, were placed in long ditches or trenches,
sometimes twenty or thirty in the same trench.
Os course, it was impossible to procure cof
fins or boxes for them. They were laid away
in the same attitude in which they were found,
and in which their bodies and limbs had be
come stiff and rigid—one with his arms and
legs stretched out—another bent nearly double
—ajthird with his hands raised, as described
above. One poor fellow bad died with his
arm clasped around a small tree, and others
with their hands clasped tightly about their
muskets, or such twigs or roots as were in
their reach. One was found with his Bible
opened upon his breast. Some had their
bands crossed and the whole body composed
after the manner of a corpse. A few were
found upon whom there was not the least
wound or mark. Whether they had died
from sun stroke, or from exhaustion, or sim
ple fright, it were impossible to say, though
probably it was from the first cause.
Thus dying, and thus buried, their dust
wi I soon commingle, and to mortal vision be-
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
I come one undistinguishable mass. Whether
it shall be blown about this pendent globe by
the winds of heaven, or scattered by the
wheels of Time in its remorseless sweep to that
goal to which everything is hurrying, or
whether it shall continue to repose quietly
where it now sleeps, it is not for us to deter
mine. We only know that this dust shall be
gathered together on the morning of the res
urrection, and that the spirits which animated
it in this life will be summoned before the
Judgment Seat to give an account of the deeds
done in the body, chief among which will be
their wicked invasion of Southern hom-s and
altars. Having performed the duty required
of us by humanity, we rnay well leave the
rest to that dread Judge whose protecting
kindness has been around us and over us in
all our troubles.
I was glad to see that most of our own dead
had been buried upon the battle ground—
many of them where they had fallen. In
some instances, those belonging to the same
, company or regiment were gathered up and
buried near each other, each little hillock be
ing maiked by a board or stone with the
name of the hero cut upon it. What more
fitting cemetery could be found for the gallant
dead than the field which has been sanctified
[ by their precious blood and rendered forever
immortal by their deeds of valor ! Icansym
, pathize with the tender sentiment that would
gather up the honored ashes of its loved ones,
, and transport them for interment in the old
family burying-ground in the far South ; and
yet, I can but admire that stern patriotism—
if it may be thus called—which would prefer
, the torn and bloody plains of Manassas to the
proudest mauseleum below the sun.
And the heroes who fell upon those plains
—who would exchange their lot in this life
and that which is to come, for that of the
beastly tyrant who would crush us beneath
his heel I To me, there has always seemed to
be a species of religion in the feeling which
. prompts a man to forsake father and mother,
wife and child, and go forth in defence of the
liberties of his country. He who falls in
such a cause, never falls too soon. The blood
thus spilt, one may hope will not be an un
acceptable sacrifice before the Lord of Hosts,
the friend of the weak, and the avenger of
the wronged and oppressed. We may not
claim that the spirits of the fallen brave are
caught up in chariots of fire, and borne to
realms where there shall be no more drawing
of the sword and no more oppression ; and
yet, we may be allowed to indulge the belief,
that it is no sin in the sight of Heaven for a
man to defend the graves of his ancestors and
> the sanctity of bis hearth stone, and even to
lay down his life in so holy a cause.
You have doubtless seen frequent allusions
to the house of an aged woman—Mrs. Judith
Henry—which occupied nearly the centre of
the battle field, and which was completely
riddled by the balls of the contending armies.
A son and an ancient maiden daughter, some
fifty years old, were with their mother, who
was almost bed ridden and got about with
great difficulty. It is said that they moved
• her to a neighboring gully, but she would not
! remain, and that they next placed her in the
• cellar, and then up stairs, or wherever her
fancy would dictate. Meanwhile, balls and
, shells continued to tear through the house,
. and whistle around and above her. Disturb
ed and restless like an evil spirit as she was,
( she insisted upon crawling and groping about
amidst the iron hail "that beat npon that
house,” and finally placed herself upon her
own bed, where she was soon shot in three
different placesand killed. But Ido not re
fer to the incident so much for the purpose of
describing the house or the manner of the
death as to correct an error which has been
set afloat by some of the newspapers, as to
the character of this old woman. She is rep
resented to have been an extremely exem
plary person, of great age (85) and piety.—
This may be so; but her neighbors, who ought
to know her well, tell mo that she and all her
household were Tories, and were in frequent
communication with the enemy. If this be
true, and I have no doubt of it, then she only
received her just deserts, first in the fiery or
deal through which she passed, and then in
the terrible doom which ended her life.
It was within a few paces of this house that
Col. Bartow fell, and it was here that the great
struggle occurred over Sherman’s favorite bat
tery. The fighting was furious, and the bat
tle raged end roared around the house, and
the hill upon which it stood, until the ground
was literally covered with the dead and woun
ded. It was Sherman’s battery, though it was
commanded by Capt. Ricketts—Sherman be
ing in command of a regiment—and hence,
the confusion in the accounts given by corres
pondents and letter-writers. When the bat
tery was finally taken, every horse and man
about it had been killed or wounded, or had
fled. No particular regiment is entitled to
the exclusive credit of capturing it. Our for
ces, composed of the 7th and Sth Georgia Reg
iments, the 4th Virginia, Hampton’s Legion,
and, I think, the 4th Alabama Regiment, all
moved upon it about the same time, and in
the form of a crescent, and they all reached it
about the same time. Lieut. Paxton, of Vir
ginia, who was bearing the flag of the 7th
Georgia Regiment, at the time, and Col. Gar
trell and other Georgians, insist that it was
the only standard that was planted upon the
battery, and that Eli W. Hoyle, of the Atlan
ta Confederate Volunteers, was the first man
to mount the battery. While I have no doubt
of the correctness of this account, I entertain
as little doubt that the honor of the capture
should be equally shared by all the regiments
named above.
Not the least interesting part of the battle
field to me was a body of thick woods, three
fourths of a mile in the rear of this battery,
and skirting the road by which the enemy bad
approached from Sudley’s Ford. A large body
of his forces had evidently halted here long
eneugh to consult their haversacks. It was a
*• hasty plate of soup," however, if one may
judge from the immense quantities of bread
and other eatables left scattered upon the
ground. Among other things, I found castors,
i mustard boxes, pickle jars, pieces of fine glass
I ware, ale and brandy bottles, several numbers
■ of the N. Y. Tribune, various illustrated pa
pers, political and religious tracts, and seve
ral pieces of flute music. The officers had
evidently been having a good lunch, prepara
tory to the grand dinner they were to take at
Manassas. A little further on, I saw a mos
quito net, which some boastful warrior, mind
ful of his rest, was doubtless taking along to
be used among the swamps and lagoons of the
South.
In the corner of a fence, and covered over
with leaves, I found two splendid Collin’s ax
es, with leather coverings, or holsters for the
blades. A large number of axes were captur
ed—a part, perhaps, of the 7,000 that were
sent over from Washington some six weeks
ago, by Gen. Scott, to hew away to Richmond
for his grand army. The fences throughout
the battle field were torn down, in order to en
able the men and horses to move with facility.
The horses of the enemy were large and fine,
and our sharp shooters were very successful
in picking them off. The ground around the
batteries, where the horses were, for the most
part, killed, was torn and rent into gullies by
the bursting shells and plunging balls from
the Confederate guns. Some of the horses had
been disemboweled, while others had their
heads and limbs carried away.
But enough. When the future historian
comes to the chapter devoted to the battle of
Manassas,* he will say, if he tells the truth,
that our soldiers were well handled by the
officers, and that the infantry, the cavalry,
and the artillery, were manceuvred skillfully
and successfully. He will say, also, and with
emphasis, that the day was carried, and the
victory won, by the unflagging pluck and dog
ged courage of our men. Many of these men
were young, and, as it were, just from the
breasts of their mothers ; and yet, neither Cee
sar’s legions, nor the Old Guard of Napoleon,
nor the Grenadiers of Frederick the Great, ev
er fought better, or charged more gallantly, or
retired more doggedly. All honor, then, now
and hereafter, to the last syllable of recorded
time, to the heroes of Manassas! A.

ARMY IN THE WEST, AND SOME OF ITS

Camp Monterey, Highland county, 1
Virginia, August 9, 1861. )
To the Editors Southern Confederacy :
The First Georgia Regiment, which, togeth
er with three regiments and a battalion of Vir
ginians, run tho gauntlet for 175 miles, and
made so miraculous an escape from Laurel
Hill, is now encamped at this place. Monter
ey is a small village, containing about two
hundred inhabitants, situated on the Staunton
A Grafton turnpike, forty six miles from the
former place. The most magnificent and com
modious building in the village, is the court
house, which is now, since this has become a
military post, turned into a commissary. The
beautiful church, from which, in times of peace,
on the holy Sabbath, incense of prayer and
devotion ascended to Almighty God, is now
converted into a hospital, and many private
dwellings have been vacated by their former
occupants, and given up to the sick.
In consequence of the exposure and hard
ships that the army stationed here underwent
in their retreat from Rich Mountain and Lau
rel Hill, there is much sickness in camp. Os
Gen. Jackson’s whole command of 4,5C0 men,
on an average, two die daily. The fell destroy
er which is hurling so many of our troops into
eternity is typhoid fever. Our regiment has
not suffered so much from the effects of the
retreatas have someof the Virginia regiments,
notwithstanding the former bore the whole
burden of the first battle on Cheat River, at
which seven companies belonging thereto were
cut off, who had to make their way through
the mountains to this place, a distance of 100
miles—traveling five nights and four days
without anything to eat; and a portion of it
also took part in the second engagement, and
had to walk nearly the whole of the distance,
having lost all our wagons, while the latter had
conveyances enough to carry all of their sick
and many of their tired men. This difference,
no doubt, is attributable to Colonel Ramsey’s
kindness; who, upon arriving here, instead of
marching his men into camp and keeping them
there, as did the Virginia Colonels, gave to
those of his men who were very sick furloughs
of thirty days, and to the others, furloughs of
ten days, that they might go into the country,
where they could find a shelter from the heavy
dews and pelting storms, which are of frequent
occurrence in this mountainous country, to
rest and recruit their health. Taking into con
sideration that we had no tents, blankets, or
cooking utensils, while it was not in strict ac
cordance with military discipline for our Colo
nel to disband his regiment for a few days, yet
I consider that it was a kind and wise act in
him, as the present state of the health of his
men conclusively prove; yet, for this act he
has been arrested, and, if there be no other
charge against him than that of disbanding
his regiment—and I know of no other—l’m of
opinion that when a court martial shall have
investigated his case, and shall have found out
the motives which prompted him to the ac
tion, he will st once be released, when he again
will resume the command of his regiment,
which, since his arrest, and in the absence of
Lieut. Col. Clark, who is in Staunton, has de
volved upon Maj. Thompson.
After a stay of ten days in the country near
McDowell, which is famous here for its fat beef
and mutton, rich milk and butter, good crops
of wheat and rye, and last, but not least, its
beautiful and kind ladies, who ministered to
our every want, and cheered us with their
merry, interesting and patriotic conversation,
we returned to camp, most of us in perfect
health, feeling comparatively like new men.
There are about 18,000 troops in Western and
North Western Virginia, commanded by Gens.
Lee, Loring. Jackson, Wise and Floyd. Gen.
Jackson is in command of the forces here and
on Alleghany Mountain, where the Staunton
and Grafton road crosses it, fifteen miles above
this place. Gens. Wise and Floyd have form
ed a junction at Lewisburg. It is currently
reported in camp, that Gens. Lee and Loring,
who, for several days past, have been at Hunt
ersville, Pocahontas county, with 8,000 men,
left that place on the morning of the 7th in
stant, and proceeded to Elk Mountain, four
teen miles south of Huttonsville It appears
that the enemy, unaware of our movements,
left Huttonsville on the evening of the same
day, with a view of inarching to the same
point; but, upon arriving near that place, and
finding that it was occupied by our troops-for
Gens. Lee and Loring had arrived there a
few hours in advance, and had thrown out
their scouts-he retraced his steps to Huttons
ville, and then proceeded down the Staunton
and Grafton road to the eastern side of Cheat
Mountain, on Greenbrier river. This stream,
upon whose banks 12,000 Yankees are report
ed to be encamped, is only seven miles from
that portion of Gen. Jackson’s command—2.ooo
strong—which is on the Alleghany Mountain.
Should this be attacked by the Yankees near
them, we will immediately fly to their sup
port, and, with his whole force of 4,000 able
for duty, there are many narrow passes in the
mountain between here and Greenbrier river
at which Gen. Jackson can hold 12,000, or even
more, at bay until Gens. Lee and Loring can
come to his support. Gen. Jackson left here
on the 7th instant for Alleghany Mountain,
and has not, as yet, returned.
It is thought that Gens. Lee and Luring are
making their way to Beverly or Huttonsville,
that they may get into the enemy’s rear, and
thus cut him off. Look out; the movements
of our lines clearly indicate that something
will be done soon. Listen to hear of a great
battle being fought ere the expiration of many
days, in this portion of Virginia.
Our boys, most of them, are in good health
and fine spirits—eager to meet the enemy on
anything like a fair footing, that they may
prove to the world that there are other troops
in the Confederate service than those at Man
assas, who can, as the Yankees express it,
fight like devils.

THAT MEETING AND WHAT IT DID—TEST
OATHS —AN OLD CITIZEN’S OPINION —TWO
HORRID ACCIDENTS —DEATH OF AN OLD
CITIZEN —A NEW IRISH COMPANY —THE
JUVENILE LADIES’ FAIR.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 13th, 1861.
Messrs. Editors : I mentioned in my last
that a meeting had been called in our city, to
consider the propriety of requiring a Test
Oath of the citizens, to determine their loyalty
to the Confederate States. The Committee
met on last Friday, and a proposition was
made to have an oath administered to all our
citizens. There was some discussion, as many
of our citizens did not see the necessity of ma
king our old inhabitants take an oath, when
none doubted their allegiance. The meeting
of Friday wound up without deciding the
question, but simply appointed a Committee
to take the whole matter into consideration
and report at a subsequeut meeting. That
committee presented yesterday a majority re
port favoring the original proposition, and a
minority report adverse to it. Both the re
ports were tabled, and a preamble and reso
lutions presented by Col. J. H. R. Washington
were adopted. They set forth the determina
tion on the part of all our citizens to do all
they can to purge our community of improper
persons, and at the same time pledge the en
tire community to assist the regular munici
pal authorities in carrying out the recent act
of the Confederate States against alien ene
mies. So the matter stands.
Ono of our oldest citizens, who happened
many years ago, without his knowledge or
consent, to be born down in Yankee land,
comes out in the “ Telegraph” of to-day, set
ting forth his views and feelings in regard to
test oaths. He thinks every man ought to
show how he stands by some act; he don’t
care whether it be a test oath or not; he wan ts
citizens of the Confederate States to show
their faith by their works. He winds up his
admirable letter with this paragraph :
"lam not very particular about requiring
our weak-nerved citizens to take these strong
test oaths, pledges of honor, or oaths of alle
giance. Something mild and reasonable,
which I think all good citizens would be wil
ling to take, would suit me better. Something
like the following would suit me, and on which
all good citizens of Southern, Northern or For
eign birth would cheerfully agree, viz: Ido
solemnly swear before High Heaven, that sink
or swim, live or die, survive or perish, I will
never again submit to the rule of our .Northern
(would be) masters. So help me God !”
You perhaps had noticed two terrible acci
dents that occurred in our city about the same
hour of the day on Saturday. A man was
standing on the railroad track watching the
Macon & Western train coming out of the
city on one track, while the South-Western
train was backing down to the Passenger De
pot on the same track upon which he was
standing. He was warned by the whistle and
by persons near by; but he seemed either not
to hear, or did not understand. He was run
over and his head severed from his body. The
other was the case of a lad who had jumped
on the Central train, going out at the same
hour with the above, to ride across the river.
He either undertook to jump off, or was push
ed off by the Conductor, (which latter the boy
averred to his last breath) and the train pass
ed over him and produced such wounds as re
sulted in his death about two hours afterwards.
The matter will be investigated. I under
stand the Conductor says that he can prove
that did not push him off. I hope he can.
Mr. Thomas Hardeman, Sr., an old and
highly esteemed citizen of our place, died on
Sunday, and was buried yesterday with Ma
sonic honors. The stores were closed daring
the funeral services, as a testimony of respect
to the deceased.
A new company has been organized here
lately, whtch is to be attached to Col. Phil
lips’ Legion. It is composed entirely of na
tives of the Emerald Isle, and is named the
“ Lochrane Guards,” and commanded by Cap
tain Jackson Barnes, who we predict will
make a fine officer.
The juvenile ladies of Macon give a fair to
night for the benefit of the Soldiers’ Relief
Society. We wish them abundant success.
If anything striking occurs, I will advise you
of it in my next letter.
Lest I should be considered tedious, I will
close. JOHANNES.
