♦ Pocahontas Co., Va.. >
Sept. 18th, 1861 j
Dear Confederacy: Since my letter of the
lOth inst, Gen. Jackson’s commend has had
rather an exciting and adventurous time. The
party which left this camp on the 9th inst ,
did not, as we supposed they intended, join
Gen. Lee’s column, but went in nearly the
same direction as that taken by Col. Rust’s
command in the expedition of which I gave
you an account in my letter of the 10th inst.,
their object also being similar to that expect
ed to be accomplished by Col. Rust in his first
expedition, viz: to get around on the left
flank of the enemy. This last party consist
ed of anout 1600 men, commanded by Col
Rust. The remainder of Gen. Jackson’s avail
able force left this camp, in compliance with
his order of the 11th instant, about 11 o’clock
on last Wednesday night, and moved forward
toward Cheat Mountain. The rain which had
been falling incessantly since the evening be
fore, continued to pour down heavily for near
ly two hours after we left camp, when it
ceased, and soon the heavens were bedecked
with myriads of bright stars that seemed to
look down upon our movements with an ap
proving glance. We were, however, destined
not to enjoy the beauty of this scene long, for
soon those sparkling gems of night were ob
scured by a dense fog which hung heavily
over the valley and enveloped the mountains.
Having secured cur arms, so as to keep our
powder dry, we slowly wended our way along
that circuitous and muddy road, arriving
about day at a point within three miles of the
Yankee camp. Here we halted for a short
time, being near the enemy’s advanced post
of pickets, and it was thought by the men and
most of our officers, that we were awaiting
the signal of Gen. Lee and Col. Rust—the for
mer of whom, by this time, we thought, was
in the enemy’s rear, and the latter on his right
flank, for the attack, when, it was supposed,
we would rush up at double quick in front.—
We had not stopped long before the report of
a single musket was heard in the direction of
the enemy’s camp, which was quickly fol
lowed by ten or fifteen others. Soon several
volleys of musketry were heard in ll;e same
direction, and we thought the ball bad opened,
as we were immediately ordered to advance.
We had not proceeded far—the Newnan Guards
in the van—before we were fired into, but
without receiving any injury from the shot.
Here, on either side of the road/Was a dense
forest, and we could not tell whence the shot
came. A party of scouts were’ forthwith de
tached from the vanguard, who flanked the
road right and left, and soon succeeded in
routing the advanced pickets of the enemy
without any loss on our side, and but one
killed on theirs. The whole column now
moved forward, but we had not proceeded far
before it was announced that the enemy in
force were coming down on us. We could dis
tinctly hear the heavy tramping of armed
men, and a rumbling noise, like that produced
by artillery wagons rolling over a rough road
at no great distance from us. We were now
ordered to fall out of the road and take a posi
tion in the bushes on the left—that being the
highest side of the mountain. We had Dot
more than got our position before the enemy,
as we supposed, were within 100 yards of us,
but the road here made such an abrupt turn,
and-nhe bushes that intervened were so thick
as-to almost hide them from our view. Pretty
soon one or two guns were .fired not far from
us, when the Newnan Guards, which eom
mantled the road fired one volley into the ap
proaching mass of men, which was quickly
returned by'them, when their commander im
mediately gave the order to charge upon us.—
Instantly our bayonets were fixed ready to re
ceive their charge. With a Ipud yell that rent
the morning air for miles around, they rushed
down upon us, when the firing commenced
further down the line to the left of our Regi
ment by those who had al first beep prevent
ed frqm firing in consequence of the dense
forest which then intervened between them
and the supposed enemy. About this time
the cry, «• Georgians! Georgians! Georgians!’’
was beard to proceed from the ranks of the
supposed enemy. We were at first nut in
clined to interpret this cry as, it was intended
by those whence it proceeded, fearing tost it
might be a cheat; and we were strengthen
ed in this belief, when, above the surround
ing noise, we distinctly heard the stentorian
voices of Gen. Jackson and Col. Johnson cry
out— *• It’s a cheat; they lie; pour it into
thgm, my brave boys;’’ and we were just in
thr act of pouring one galling fire into their
mid*st, when we discovered the white badges
on their hats and knew them to be our own
men. Two men—Sergeant Felder, of the Ist,
and a soldier whose name I haven’t ton rued, of
the 12tb Georgia Reg’ts, were killed ; two dan
geroualy wounded—T. T. Brown, of the New
nan Guards, and Corporal Hogue, of the Ogle
thorpe Infantry; two slightly wounded—W.
j B. W. Dent, of the Newnan Guards, and pri-
I vate Welch, of the Somber® Guards—all eat
Icept the second monUoued were of the Ist
Reg’t Ga. Vote. This was a sad occurrence,
but neither party was to blame.
The causes which brought about this sad
engagement were as follows: A detachment
; of 90 men from the Ist and 12th Ga. Reg’ts,
j under command of Lieut Dawson, of the 12th,
left this camp several hours in advance of the
• main body of Gen. Jackson’s column, with or
ders to effect a passage through the mountain,
| and form an ambuscade near the road at some
i point between the enemy’s pickets and their
! camp, in order to prevent them escaping from
■ us when the advancing column should rout
| them from their posts. Thie order was execu
| ted, so far as regards reaching the point des
' iguated in the order, and forming the ambus
cade; but Li eat. Dawson had not been long
I in his place of concealment before a gun in
the hands of one of his party accidentally
fired, which brought out a party of the Yan
kees stationed near to investigate the cause of
this firing. Seeing his ambuscade would be
discovered, and finding it impossible to exe
cute the order first given, Lieut. Dawson de
termined to act as he thought best. He im
mediately ordered his men to advance on the
nearest post of pickets, which was not, far off,
and happened to be the post at which was
stationed the reserved force for the advanced
pickets to fall back upon. This force consist
ed of about 40 men, who maintained their po
sition bravely for a short time.
But our men advanced on them so rapidly
aud poured such galling fires into their midst
that they were soon forced to beat a hasty re
treat. Our men sustained po loss—mine dead
bodies of the Yankees lay in the road before
them; no doubt others were killed in the
woods, as sixteen guns were found on the bat
tie ground that had been iff the hands of the
enemy. After thia skirmish, Lieut. Dawson
concluded to proceed down the road to join the
main body of Gen. Jackson’S column. When
they approached near us, the heavy tramping
over the macadamized road sounded very much
like the rolling of artillery and the approach
of a large force. Knowing that Lieut. Daw
son neither had a large force nor one piece of
artillery, and not having th® least idea of
meeting his party at this point—all being in
formed of his instructions —we at once conclu
ded it must be the enemy, and fired into them;
and as the firing from our side at first proceed
ed from one company only—the Newnan
Guards—the rest not commanding a view of
tne road—they supposed us to be the pickets
of the enemy.
We now moved forward to within 1$ miles
of the enemy's camp, and the whole force was
deployed in an open field in full view of it.—
We remained iu this field, drawn up in battle
array, expecting the Yankees to come out and
meet us till late in the afternoon, when we
were marched back about four miles, where
we bivouaced for the night in an open field
without tents or anything to protect us from
tne chilly air and the heavy dew> except our
blankets. Early next morning we went back
t> thq top of the mountain, and the whole
force, except about two hundred, were de
ployed in a woad on the left of the road, near
the field in which we were drawn up the day
before. Two hundred men advanced forward
and performed every manner of movement
that could be conceiv. d in to induce the
Yankees to come out from behind their fortifi
cations, and to decoy them into our ambus
cade. But if one may judge from indications,
the enemy felt by no means safe in their en
tr'incerneuts, and had no idea of coming out
to give us a fair fight. Up to this time we had
heard nothing definite from Gen. Lee and Col.
Rust When night came ou we returned to
our temporary camp, leaving a strong picket
guard on the mountain. When we arrived
therq we found tttat Col. Rust had returned
with his command. He reported that he got
near enough to the enemy’s esmp to examine
thejr fortifications, and found them to be very
strong—that he considered it very htzardous
fur so small a force as his to attack the camp,
unless it was wholly surrounded—that the
enemy had dug three parallel entrenchments
all round their camp, in the outer banks of
which were fixed fascifies, or a complete net
work of sharpened poles to resist, or make ve
ry hazardous to us, a charge from our force—
that ditches were cut leading from the outer
to the inner entrenchments through whjch
they might fall back into their inner ditches
without being exposed to our fl re, in case we
rushed on them so heavily as to make it ne
cessary for them to fall back.
On Saturday morning, 14th inst., the Ist
Ga. Reg't. alone left camp. We had not pro
ceeded far before we were overtaken by Gen.
Jackson who, as he rode through our column,
addressed us in a few patriotic and highly
complimentary remarks. During his speech
he remarked that he was of opinion the'pros
pect for a fight that day was very favorable—
that we had so harrassed the enemy that he
thought when the Yankees should find out his
force wlhb small they would come out and give
us battle. He stated that for this reason he
had determined to bring us out alone—that he
had the utmost confidence in our skill and
bravery, aud felt confident that with the posi
tion he would assign us we could whip any
force the enemy might bring against us. He
further stated that he had a conversation with
President Davis, not long since, who, when
speaking of the Regiments that would form
his brigade, said, ° You will have at. least one
Regiment upon which you may depend under
any and every circumstance. It is composed
of the flower of the land of intelligent, patri
otic men, who knowing their rights wilt dare
maintain them, even at the bayonet’s pointer
cannon’s mouth. I have watered the Ist Ga.
Reg’t. cioseip since it first enlisted in the
Southern cause, and am confident it is the
best Regiment in the Confederate service.’’—
Gen. Jackson remarked that our conduct since
we were placed under his command showed
him conclusively that we merited the praise
given us by President Davis.
We offered the enemy every inducement to
come out and fight us, but he dared not Come;
so when the shades of night begen to set in,
we were erdered back to eamp without having
effected anything worth except to
extend our posts of pickets nearer the enemy’s
line. Nothing was done on Sunuay except
relieving tly> pickets. Monday morning we
were ordered to move our camp up to the field
where we were first drawn up in battle array,
about 1) miles iron the Yankee camp, and in
full view of it.
Our force had arrived at this point, and we
were planting our cannon and fixing-to make
this our permanent camp for a while, when
Gen. Jackson received a dispateh from Gen. i
Lee which caused him to stop all work and i
marth us back to camp Bartow. I’m not in- ;
formed of the nature of the dispateh received
from Gan. Lae, or of the cause of oar falling
baek. One thing is certain, we could have
held our position easily against any force in
front. It is the general opinion here that Gen.
Lee has sent reinforcements to Gens. Wise and
Floyd, and therefore will not make an advance
till some decisive movement is made on the i
part of the last named men.
Another cause of our falling back no doubt I
is that a body of Yankees are making their way |
through Hardy and Pendleton counties toward |
Franklin, the site of the latter county. Gen.
Jackson with Cols. Fulkerson and Jacksons
Virginia Regiments, and Col. Rust’s 3d Ark
Reg’t., and our company of artillery, four field,'
pieces, left here this morning for some point
near Petersburg to check their .advance-and
drive them beyond the North Branch of the
Potomac. The command of this poet will de
volve upon Col. Johnson, of the 12th Georgia
Regiment.
There is much sickness in this division of
the array. For the last two weeks, on an av
erage, about five have died daily. The 12th
Ga. and 3rd Ark. Reg’ts seem to be suffering
most. The health of the Ist Ga. Reg’t is im
proving. Jhe boys don’t seem much fatigued
from the arduous duties performed the last
wee!. NESTOR.

Mr. Stephens and the Examiner.
A correspondent of (be Nashville “Ban
ner” of the 21st instant, says:
Nor doffs “ fair play to the Border States
demand that they should have a place on the
ticket.” The gaining phrase “fair play,” is
in its proper place if we occupy the “ Exam
iner’s” stand point, but, if wc put political
trickery in the back ground, and, rising above
its poisoned atmosphere, ascend to where a
nation struggles for life, and a people fight
for freedom, then the simile of a garae is drop
ped.
The border States make do such demand
Perhaps aspiring men have thought of it, and
the thought has gained until it finds utterance
in the “Examiner;” but the people ask and
desire no change. The germ of civil discord
may be found under this plausible pretext. It
is a cry that, in the end, will do us incalcula
ble mischief. There should be, and we doubt
not there will be, an equitable distribution of
offices; but whenever we divide between the
Cotton and Bobdkb States, then we have re
cognised them as sections. Charges of unfair
oess, jealousies and contentions, mutual es
trtfngement, follow each other and culminate
in irrepressible hatred. Let us beware lest we
nurse in«o life a serpent that will turn and de
stroy us. We are in the midst of a terrible
struggle—a half million of men have been
called to invade us—we have our independeoee
to conquer—and yet we are willing to quarrel
over a division of offices in the face of these
difficulties.
If the corrupt practices of the old govern
ment are so soon to st tack the vitals of the
Confederacy, letaus avoid the perils of war and
agree at ouce to accept whatever our enemies
may offer. We would adopt the “Examin
er's” language: “Let the Republic reach its
majority before it aspires to emulate those
corruptions and profligacies which belong to
tbo-old and tried dynasties ;” and we would
add, let us dispose of the Northern armies be
fore we divide offices between the Cotton and
Border Stales Let us, in the selection of
public offices, seek meritorious men, regard
less of locality. The rule do justice to each
Slate and to all.
The thrusting aside of Mr. Stephens would
increase the chances of some gentlemen whom
we eould name, but how would it benefit the
country ? H.
