DAWSON THE YANKEES REFUSE A FIGHT THEIR FORTIFICATION GEN. JACKSON’S SPEECH OCMPLIMENT TO THE FIRST GEORGIA REGIMENT LEAVING THERE-. YANKEES GOING THROUGH HARDY COUN TY HEALTH, AC. Camp Bartow. j ♦ 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 ?
