War Again !
The details of the fight at Leesburg between
G a E?ans and the Hessians, though costing
as heavily, was brilliant—a decisive and tri
umphant victory. Our loss in killed and
wounded was heavy—nearly one-fifth of the
men engaged ; but the odds against us was
four to one. To contend against such odds all
day. shows the unconquerable spirit of our
men, who are resolved to win or die. Indeed,
all that is worth living for, or that makes
earth in the least desirable, is at stake. If
our cause is lost, let it be after the last man
woman and child in the South shall have fal
len in a glorious death, fighting for our rights
and honor.
This terrible defeat to the enemy is only the
second quarterly instalment of what we owe
them. I’ took place the twenty -first, just three
months after the battle of Manassas.
It may be wrong in us to rejoice at the death
of anyone; but we cannot repress our exu
berant joy at the death of that renegade Ba
ker. of Oregon. The world is rid of one chief
nuisance, and is therefore a bettgr_world than
it was while the air of Heaven was infected
with his hated breath.
We expect stirring times from now on till
Christmas. Our able and reliable correspond
ent at Manassas will keep us posted with his
magnificent letters, and will telegraph us
whenever anything of interest turns up. Our
readers may rely on this. Let all who want
to get the news and know what is going on,
take the ‘'Confederacy.” If money aud un
tiring energy can procure the news and valu
able reading matter, our patrons shall be fur
nished with it.

Kentucky.
The Federate occupy Kentucky at four points
of its border—Louisville, Paducah, Smithland
and Henderson. Paducah commands the rnouth
of the Tennessee River, and Smithland com
nunds the mouth of the Cumberland. The
must important Railroad in Tennessee crosses
both these rivers at points only a few hours
steamboat travel from Paducah and Smith
land.
Besides, the Federate have between 20,000
and 30 000 troops on the Louisville and Nash
ville Railroad, beyond Bowling Green, as well
as several camps, <tc., in the State.
It is evident they contemplate an attack on
Nashville as well as an invasion of Tennessee
at several other points; at Cumberland Gap,
for the relief of the Unionists of East Tennes
see. as they say ; by the way of Tennessee and
Cumberland Rivers for an attack on Nashville,
and by a formidable expedition down the Mis
sissippi.
We hope our people are ready for this.
Election Returns.
The Federal Union says the returns, of the
election for Senators and Representatives, have
not been received, at Milledgeville, from Clay,
MHntosh. Henry, Whitfield and Coffee coun
ti *s ; and that returns of the polls for Governor,
from the following counties, had not been re

Army of the Potomac, <
Near Fairfax', Oct. 15,1861. >
We were aroused at 4 o’clock this morning
by the beating of the king roll. Certain sig
nals, for day and night, bad been adopted by
Gen. Johnston, and by him communicated to
the commanders ol Brigades, and by the lat
ter to Colonels of Regiments. These signals
were of such a character as to indicate the
movements of the enemy—whether he was
moving in this direction or in that, or was
threateningourleftor right,and in either event,
to notify the army what to do These means
of communication are frequently resorted to
in times of war, and are perfectly available,
even at great distances.
The sentinels had beeen instructed to keepa
sharp lookout for rockets during the night, and
to report the number and character of them
immediately to tbe commanding officers The
signal given this morning required the long
roll to be beaten. It may not be amiss to say,
that the long roll is a peculiar beat of the drum,
kept up for a considerable length of time, and
indicates that danger is at hand, and that in
stant preparation must be made to meet it. It
makes no difference what the hour of the day
or night may be, nor what the character of
the weather, nor how the soldier may be em
ployed, when he hears the long roll, it is his
duty to lay to aside everything else, to fly to
arms, and prepare for battle.
Another rule is, where the long roll is beat
by one regiment, (or company even,) it must
be taken up by the next, and the next, until,
like a great wave of sound, or a circle in the
water, it has widened and extended through
out the whole army.
Immediately upon the appearance of tbe
signal, this morning, the long roll was beat;
and never before did I hear such a rub a
dub,dub,dub, in all my life. Every hill and
valley and brake seemed to have found a
tongue, and that tongue was a drum. The Ar
my of the Potomac was under arms in less
time than it has taken me to write thus far.--
The idea prevailed that the long wished-for
opportunity had come at last, and that to-day
we should measure swords with McClellan and
his legions. The regiments sent up shout af
ter shout as they fell into line—shouts of an
ticipated triumph, that seemed to awaken tbe
last slumbering echo of the hills and valleys.
The sky was blue above, and the stars shone
as bright as diamonds; and yet no star in all
the heavens burnt more brightly than the ea
ger eyes that flashed along our lines “ in the
moon’s early light.”
Eight o’clock, A. M.
But the enemy did not appear, and the order
to march was not given. The men continued
in line until 8 o’clock, when another signal
was given, and in less time than five minutes,
they had laid aside their arms. It had been
supposed that the enemy was crossing the riv
er in large numbers, and an early attack was
anticipated Hence the signal.
Six o’clock, P. M.
There has been more or less excitement all
day. This idea has taken fast hold upon the
minds of the men, that we are on the eve of
important events. Couriers have been hurry
ing to and fro all day, and the higher officers
have been unusually grave and silent. A cour
ier has just arrived at our headquarters. He
delivers his order, and dashes on up the road
in a rapid gallop. It soon transpires that an
order has been received to strike tents at tat
too, (9 o’clock to-night,) and as soon as that
is done, and the baggage packed away in the
wagons, to bivouac in line of battle, ready to
move at a moment’s warning. The few re
maining sick in camp were sent to Manassas
this afternoon, and the wagons were ordered
to return by midnight, if possible. The teams
dispatched for forage this morning, have all
been ordered back. What does all this por
tend ? Are we to have a battle or not?
But the order just received contemplates
something more. We are to bivouac until 2
o’clock to-hight, aud if there be no demonstra
tion on the part of the enemy, then the wag
ons are to be put in motion, and we are to fall
back by the Warrenton turnpike, a short dis
tance beyond Centreville, to a point between
Rocky Run and Cub Run. If the enemy comes
out, then, we will fight him wherever he shows
himself.
Rocky Run, Oct 16th, 10 A. M.
No signals were displayed last night, and
the enemy made no demonstration. The tents
were struck precisely at tattoo, and from that
hour until 2 o’clock, we spent the time as best
we could. Some threw their shawls and sad
dles down before the fire, and attempted to
sleep. Some whiled away the hours telling
anecdotes, and others regaled the inner man
with roasted potatoes and hot coffee. At two
o’clock the line of march was taken up, and
at five o’clock we reached this place. The bri
gade formed in line of battle immediately up
on reaching the ground, and our arrival was
reported at headquarters. Orders were soon
received to pitch our tents. Meanwhile, large
numbers of the men throw themselves upon
the ground, and are soon asleep. Just in front
of me, lies Gen. Toombs before a rail fire,
sleeping as soundly upon his blanket as the
humblest soldier in the ranks. Around the
same fire, and with their feet pointing to it,
are several members of his staff, all enjoying
a morning nap.
Every hill and slope, as far as the eye can
reach, is covered with regiments just arrived.
Each brigade takes the place assigned to it
The wagons are discharging their freight; the
tents are being pitched ; the batteries have ta
ken their places, and the army of the Poto
mac now occupies a new line, of which Cen
treville is the centre. Beauregard commands
the right wing and Smith the left.
But why did our forces fall back ? Was it a
retreat, or a manoeuvre? These interrogato
ries, doubtless, present themselves toyourown
mind, as you read these hasty lines. I can
only say, that reports, said to be trustworthy,
had reached our Generate that the enemy had
thrown a heavy force eeross the Potomac and
was preparing to give us battle at an early
day. It was believed that he might come out
to-day—-anyhow, very soon-and it was con
sidered prudent to take up a good fighting po
sition. Our present line is stronger and more
defensible than the one just abandoned. This
you would see at a glance, if I felt permitted
to define it to you Unless it was intended to
attack the fortifications around Arlington, the
old line was not a desirable one. It was too
near the enemy’s works to pursue him, should
we get the advantage of him in battle; and
yet not too remote for him to sally out, engage
ns at a disadvantage, and then fail hack under
cover of his guns
The movement back to this point Was not a
retreat. It was simply a change of position,
and nothing more A a part of our line rests
upon Bull Run, and no partoi it is more than
four miles North of that stream It is two
miles and a half from ourcainp to Stone Bridge,
and it was along the road just in front of me
that the enemy went an.l returned on the 21st
of July.
The m vernent was executed at night for ob
•vioua reasons ; but fear of the enemy was not
one of them. Os course, such sensational
prints as the Herald and Tribune will contend
that we were driven back,and that the Feder
ate achieved a great victory; whereas, the
truth is, the enemy was as ignorant of the
manmuvre, until this morning, as the man in
the moon.
But will there be a light ? Is McClellan com
ing out to fight us upon the open field? If re
ports be true, it is believed at headquarters
that he will. And yet I cannot think so On
the contrary, you need not be surprised if, as
intimated in one of my late letters, our next
movement should be to cross Bull Run, and
resume the old position at Manassas.
You will be glad to hear that Gen. Beaure
gard has forwarded to Richmond his report of
the battle of Manassas. It is said to be full
and elaborate, and designed to furnish a com
plete historical account of tbe engagement.
But I must stop. I write in an open field,
at the root of a leafless tree, with hundreds of
teams and thousands of men continually pass
ing. It may not be amiss to say, that all my
letters are written in haste, and under many
disadvantages—a fact which I hope your read
ers will not forget.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM ’ELBERT.”
SICK SOLDIERS IN THE GEORGIA HOSPITAL
SENDING HOME BAD NEWS AND GOOD
NEWS, WHY THE FACTS IN THE CASE
THE MANAGERS OF THE HOSPITAL, THE
GEORGIA I.ADIES THERE, AND THEIR LA
BORS THE CONTRIBUTIONS, <tC.
GRORGii Hospital, Richmond, Va., )
October 19ih, 1861. j
Messrs. Editors: Knowing the interest and
anxiety ol those who have relations and friends
in this place, I feel sure th it anything con
cerning them and the institution will he ac
ceptable to Georgians. Besides this, I wish to
make some effort to disabuse the minds of those
who have been misinformed by the nrivate
correspondence of some whimsical patients
whose feelings change with every incident
which impresses them. Some of the sick came
in from camps, with a filthy wet blanket for a
bed, and were laid upon the floor without hav
ing had a regular meal from the time they left
Manassas. In this condition a. few lost eight
ot all past, and hope of any future, comfort,
as if the present time and condition were tbe
whole of life. The mind naturally ran back
to those who bad ever shared in their trials at,
home, and upon the principle that “misery
loves company,” some made no delay in writ
ing a few lines to their friends, in which every
distress was portrayed in exaggerated terms.
As soon as circumstances would admit of it,
the Hospital stores were appropriate d - good
cots with nice dry quilts and clothes in abun
dance were provided, and the kind people, who
were not slow in discovering our condition,
came in with warm coffee and other excellent
provisions, all of which was so much better
than the boys had been accustomed to in
camps, and traveling in stock and freight cars
in rain, that they were scarcely able to realize
that they were the same creatures, and in the
same sphere of existence. All other times and
conditions were measurably lost sight of, and
in this state of rapturous enthusiasm, there
was nothing wanting to render their felicity
complete, but to communicate with friends at
home; so other dispatches, and of a very dif
ferent tenor, were soon on their way to the
loved ones at home. Os course all parents who
have brought up their children to tell the
truth, are disposed to believe eyery word that
comes from them, but, at the same time, they
ought to make due allowance for the state of
the mind, under the influence of disease, fa
tigue, distress and disappointment.
Now, I will give rny statement, aud although
the same allowances, except sickness and dis
appointment, may be made for myself, as I
recommend for others, I nevertheless claim to
be inclined and qualified to give unbiased state
ments in regard to the condition of our soldiers
aud Hospital.
In the first place, about two weeks ago, for
reasons best known to themselves, the Gene
rate ordered all the sick in the army of the
Potomac to be sent back to Richmond. No no
tice of this order had been given to the mana
gers of the hospitals here, and no time was
lost in executing the order; consequently there
was no preparation for such a press, and the
sick who had been hurried off from camps
without rations or any other preparation which
required any considerable time, were crowded
into every vacant space of the Hospital, and
aside from the charity of the citizens, some
would have suffered for nourishment, but, as
it was, I know that there was more suffering
from gormandizing than starving; and still, a
few may have gone twenty four hours without
anything to eat, and slept several nights with
out a cot or bunk.
The Georgia Hospital is a new institution
and every department of it could not possibly
be completely systematised in so short a time.
Temporary arrangements are necessary every
day, which imposes a great deal of extra labor
on the managers, and necessarily causes some
confusion ; but through their efficiency and
perseverance, everything is managed to the
best advantage for the comfort of the sick sol
diers.
Three houses are fitting up and provided
with nearly every convenience. This has cost
immensely in money and labor; but the ben
efit and necessity of the ease will doubly re
pay the people of Georgia for their liberality
and sacrifices in getting up and snetainingthe
institution
Georgia has a proud position, both on ac
count of what she has done for the war, and
for her sick soldiers The Georgia ladies who
are here and acting such a noble part in the
Hospital, will ever be- gratefully remembered
by hundreds of our brave volunteers who have
been and may yet be cared lor by them ; and
those at home who have sent in their valuable
contributions would shed tears for pure joy
and gratitude, il they could only see their sick
boys throwing off their camp equipage and
wrapping themselves in the comfortablecloth
ing and bedding sent them.
Mucb has already been done, there still re
mains much more t> be accomplished. The
winter will soon be upon us, and we are not
prepared for it. Could not the ladies who sent
.the quilts lined with blankets, send a few more
of the same sort ? Such things are highly es
teemed here.
Patients are here from all parts of the State,
and ' would like to speak of the condition of
all the regiments, but circumstances will not
admit of this at the present time.
ELBERT.
The News.
Enansport.—The enemy’s vessels, not be
ing able to pass our batteries at Evanport, are
landing large quantities of stores on the Ma
ryland shore, whence these supplies are car
ried by trains of wagons to Washington.
The Blookaders off Charleston.—The
“ Mercury of the 22d says :
“A change has taken place in the vessels
blockading this harbor—those that were here
formerly having been relieved, and the flag
ship now off the Bar is the steam frigate
Roanoke, Capt. Marston. She is assisted by
several propellers of a lighter draught, one of
which, we think, is the Flag, commanded, we
believe, by an officer named Sartori. She is
a merchant craft altered into a war vessel, but
is of small size, and can go into shallow wa
ter. Whoever she may he, she moves with
great speed, and makes a convenient block
ader.
Capt. Dupont, C. S. N , who is to command
this, part of the coast, has not yet arrived, but
is looked for immediately. He is an officer
who stands high in the old Navy.”
Tbe ‘‘Mercury” also believes the Thomas
Watson, lately captured off Stono Inlet by tbe
blockaders, was the British Schooner Alert
from the West Indies with a cargo of molases
fruit &c. The ” Mercury” is informed that
she is now British property, and has been ta
ken North as a prize.
The S. C Legislature —Gov. Pickens
wrote, some time ago, to request the President
to grant furloughs to all members of our Leg
islature now in any branch of service in our
army in Virginia, and the President has re
plied i hat <he furloughs desired w ill be grant
ed.
The Prisoners taken by us at the tight, on
Santa Rosa Island,consisting of Major Vodges,
one non-commissioned officer, and twenty-two
privates, were brought to Montgomery on tbe
22d instant, consigned to the care of Major
Calhoun, C. S Quarter-master at that place,
who is instructed to keep them in confinement
in that city
Col. Brown, the commandant of Fort Pick
ens has released Lieut. Calvin Sayre, who was
badly wounded and then taken prisoner by
the. enemy in the fight. His leg is terribly
shattered—totally unfitting him from entering
the service any more, on this account he was
released. He is now in Montgomery.
Hon. W. L. Yancey.—This gentiemati ex
pects to return from Europe by the Ist. Jan
uary, at most. He is a candidate for C. S.
Senator from Alabama, aud will most, proba
bly be elected.
In a letter written from London, on the 20th
August, to a friend in Alabama, he says :
“ This you can say for me, that if the Leg
islature elect me, I shall consider it an honor
to serve the State and will gratefully accept,
of the post.
My views as to the Senator-ship were known
to the last General Assembly. They have un
dergone no change.
If I cannot finish my mission here, or shall
not, be honorably recalled before the Ist Jan
uary, I shall ask lhe President to recall me.
I came here reluctantly, at his request—at
great personal and pecuniary sacrifice—which
I cannot continue longer than tben,*as long as
the country has so many able men who can
supply the vacancy to be made by my retire
meat.
\ou understand me, 1 hope, Ido not mean
to press myself on unwilling friends ; but I
do consider I have a right to their support.
Fours truly,
W. L. YANCEY.
We regret, in this connection to notice that
a correspondent of the Montgomery “Adver
tiser” is urging Mr. Yancey’s claims because
he was a secessionist. This of itself constitutes
no reason why a man should be chosen Senas
tor, or to fill any other office. The question
should be not what a man did either to bring
about or to prevent secession ; but what he
has done for lhe country since secession took
placet can he do for us in the office
te which he aspires ? These are the questions
which wise men and patriots should consider,
in choosing men to fiill important offices.
The Hospitals.
At a meeting of the Board of Managers of
the Georgia Hospital in Richmond, and of the
Executive committee of the Georgia Relief and
Hospital Association, represented by the ac
