We have been k indly furnished, by David F. Mont gomery, Esq., of Brick Store, Newton county, with a letter from his son, who belongs to the regiment, and tried to catch the fleet footed Yankees, but failed. We make the following extract from the letter giving some interesting details. The letter is dated the 7th instant.— After giving an account of the capture of the Fanny. on Tuesday the Ist instant, he says: “ Early on Wednesday morning (the 2d; Col. W right learned, from one of the prisoners, (ta ken on the Fanny) that the 20th Indiana and 3;h New York regiments had landed on the upper end of Chickamocomico Island. He thought they ought to be routed, and immedi ately ordered preparations. The day was spent in getting ready, and Thursday morning oar regiment and the Bth North Carolina regiment were ordered to prepare to embark. That even ing at 2 o’clock the long roll was sounded, and we commenced going on board. The water in the Sound (Pamlico) being shallow, theetearn ers could not come nearer than a mile, and it was 10 o’clock at night before al! the men were uh >ard. At eight o’clock Friday morning we were in sight of the Island As soon as we were near enough we could plainly see the Yankees de serting their camp and running in confusion down the beach towards Hatteras. We got near edough to throw a few shell into their eamp before they left. I understand that a resident of the Island, who is an abolitionist, went ahead of us in a sail boat, and informed them we were coming. As snon as their Col saw our boats, he mounted his horse and never stopped till he got to Hatteras. His men fol lowed in wild confusion, throwing away their knapsacks, guns and everything. Our plan was to land our regiment above their camp and attack them ; and the North Carolina regiment below several miles to cut ofl their retreat. Three companies of our reg iment -t.be Young Guard, Governor’s Guard and Brown Rifles— landed as soon as possible and started in pursuit. We expected the fright ened Yankees to stop and rally, and show fight before they had gone far, but we were disap pointed. The remainder of the regiment soon landed. They had to wade nearly a mile in water about waist deep. We followed them during the day—occa sionally taking a few prisoners who had stop ped from exhaustion. About 12 o’clock, Col. Wright, who was in advance, encountered 11 Yankees who were in ambush. They com menced shooting at him before be discovered them. He returned the fire with his repeater. Ills horse was shot down under him. Lieut. Evans and private N. R. Bayly ran to Lis as sistance, captured four of the Hessians, and the others escaped. About 2 o’clock in the night, the main body of our men stopped and rested till nearly day, when we were again called into line and the (base after the Y'ankees resumed. About sun rise, our advance guard came upon a number of the enemy who were trying to escape in a sail boat across the Sound. We fired on them, which they returned with some spirit, but they soon surrendered—having lost one man killed. Our chase was continued .till 10 o'clock, A. ?>L, when we gave up all hope of ever catching the rascals, and Col. Wright ordered a counter march. Wo camo back about four miles to a skirt of woods where there was a settlement and stopped to get- something to eat —having had nothing from early on Friday morning We dug some potatoes and roasted them, which was all we could get, and resumed our march back about 1 o’clock. We had proceeded butja. short distance be fore we discovered a Federal steamer on the ocean side of us. In a ffiw minutes she was pouring shot and shell among our men. We were obliged to march under this fire from that time until sun down, when it it ceased. When ever a gun would Are, our men would fall on their faces until the shell would explode. It la most astonishing that not a single man’s life was lost by this tiring. Only one of our men died, and lie fell on the way side from exhaus tion. Maj. Lee, Lieuts. Luckie and Starr, and sev eral others, were rn the rear. We had not left the skirt of woods whete we got dinner, when tie steamer commenced shelling our men. We SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY we then went out to the beach on the Sound side and procured small boats and started for the steamers some 12 or 15 miles. Thus we were out of range of the shells—only one of | thorn came near us; that fell in three feet of ‘ the boat I was in. When a good distance from the shore, we found that our boat leaked bad ly. We had only two poles to use as <a s, and it took one ot us all the time to keep the water bailed out. When <5 or 8 miles from the shore one of our poles broke. We were in a critical condition, and it seemed as if we should be lost; but in a few moments we saw Maj. Lee in a sail.boat. We signalled biin to come to our relief, which he did. Saturday night and Sunday was spent in getting our men off the Island upon our steam ers We left there yesterday evening and land ed on Roanoke Island th s morning. We are obliged to confess that the Yankees can beat us running. The few citizens that lived on the Island deserted their bouses and ran from us. Poor creatures 1 They have been tormented greatly—shelled one day by us and next day by the enemy. We killed one of them ; but it was a good thing, for he was a tory, trying to help some Y’ankees off in a boat. In our march we suffered greatly for water as well as from hunger and fatigue. We could get none only as we would grabble holes in the sand and let it rise. We have nearly 100 prisoners which will start for Norfolk in a few minutes. They are nearly all from Indiana, and the biggest set of cowards I ever saw. My love to all. Y’our son, D. C. MONTGOMERY. Great Britain, We perceive tb atour cotemporary, tbeCharles ton Mercury, confesses itself disappointed in the course of England towards the Confeder ate States. The editor of that journal, it seems, counted largely on tho sympathy, if not the active cooperation of England ; and expected every incidental aid and encouragement that could be given, in the way of allowing our privateers to enter her ports with their prizes, recognizing our Government, breaking up the blockade, Ac. The Mercury “ expected England to be gov erned by her interest, and to understand what her interest isthat she forced China to al low the English to sell the “Celestials;” opium which only bonefitted her people £5.000 000, but allows the Y’ankees to shut her people out from the trade in cotton, for which she could pay in her own manufactures—especially as tbeNorth has a much higher tariff than the South, Ac. We are glad to see this staid and sober jour nal, which has a few inveterate cranks, for once acknowledge it is disappointed, and that its judgment was at fault—though sorry its opinions have not been verified in this in stance. -• * • Advance of the Lincolnites in Kentucky. MAYFIELD BURNT. The Memphis “Appeal," of the 24tl> inst., says : “ We Lave information which can be relied on, direct from Columbus, that the Federalists five thousand strong, occupied Mayfield, Ky., on Tuesday night last. The advance guard of the Conlederate army at Columbus was only ten miles distant, under command of Col. Bowen. Our readers can anticipate the result of such a proximity of the contend ing forces with as much certainty as we can - ” The Nashville Banner,” of the same date has the following: “ We are permitted to publish the follbwing private dispatch which was received in this city on yesterday : Paris, Tenn., Oct. 23, 1861. Geo. W. Wilson—The town of Mayfield was burnt yesterday morning by two thousand Lincolnites. E. A. MOORE.” Mayfield is the county site of Graves Co, Ky. It is about 20 mile, south of Paducah, 15 miles north of the Tennessee line, and be tween 15 and 20 east of Columbus, and about the same distance west of the Tennessee Ri ver. This movement is au important one.— Wc hope the attention of Gen. Johnston will not be drawn entirely off of Eastern Ken tucky and Tennessee while this is going on in the West. They want to come down through Cumberland Gap to East Tennessee. Methodist Preachers of the JLoulsviHe Conference. The Louisville Conference recently held its annual session at Louisville, Bishop Kava naugh presiding. Just before the Conference closed its labois, some officers of Lincoln’s array informed the whole body that they were prisoners, and would not be permitted to leave the place unless they took the oath of allegi ance to the U. S. Government. We regret to record the fact that the most of them com plied. We find this information in the Louisville “ Conner.” The Seventh District. A number of the friends of Hon. R. P. Trippe have requested us to publish the short communication, which will be found else where, recommending him for Congress in the 7th Distr t. Hon. B. H. Hill has declined, and since hie declension, no man in the dis trict, we are sure, could represent it any bet ter than Col. Trippe, if as well. He made for himself a name as an able and faithful Rep resentative iu U. S. Congress. These are the times when it behooves the people to choose their best and ablest men to go to Congress. We know that Col. Trippe, if elected, will rep resent the people of his district with ability and fidelity, and to their satisfaction. He will be a credit to the State in our national councils, and we trust he will be elected. Dr. McAnnally Arrested. The St. Louis Evening News, of a recent date, says an order has been issued for the arrest of Rev D. R. McAnnally, the editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate, the well-known weekly publication of the M. E. Church South, in that city. The alleged offense, upon which the order of arrest was issued, is aaid to be treasonable matter contained in recent num bers of the paper In question. The Leesburg Fight. A dispatch from Richmond says among our caaualitiea were the following : Col. Burt, ot the 18th Missippi Regiment, badly, though not mortally, wounded in the thigh- A son of Gov’nor Pettus, of Mississippi, was killed. Dr. Martin, shot through the lungs—wound mortal. Dr. Brock, arm shot off. Lieut-Col Tabbs, of the Bth Virginia Regi ment, wounded slightly. Lieut. Benj.G. Carter, slightly wounded. Privates Hatcher and Donoho killed. The killed on our side is estimated at only 30; the wounded at about 3CO. Five hundred of the prisoners taken will be hereto morrow. Copper. The Government is making efforts to collect all the copper it can, having advertised for it quite extensively. The Norfolk Day Book says that tons upon tons of it can be obtained on the hulls of the Pennsylvania, and other vessels sunk by the Federate when they were' run out of Norfolk, which vessels ought to be raised, not only to get copper, but. to repair the vessels and add them to our uavy. The Words of a Patriot. Hon. Henry W. Miller, the eloquent and highly gifted statesman of North Carolina, has written a letter to a friend declining to be a candidate for Congress. In it be says : This is not the time to indulge in political bickerings or party rivalries, or to encourage the selfish purposes of personal ambition.— In the presence of that great and and glorious work before us, such things sink into insig nificance, and degrade even still more the man who is mean enough to countenance or nurture them. The inquiry now should be, not was he a IFA?<?, or a Democrat, or a Secessionist, or a Unionist— but, is he true to the cause ? Is he re»dy to pledge “bis life, bis fortune, his honor,” as our fathers did, to the cause of In dependence? If he is, then with me, at least, it makes no difference under what political flag he may have rallied, in times gone by,— he is worthy of all confidence, and is entitled, iu this great struggle, to the position for which his abilities and merits benefit him. Hou. R. P. Trippe. Messrs Editors: We see with much satis faction the name of our former able Repre sentative in the U. S. Congress, Hon. Robert j P. Trippe, proposed to represent this, the 7th ■ District, in our first Confederate Congress We know that, whilst Col. Trippe would under other circumstances, have preferred the retirement of private life, he does not now feel authorized to, no l- will he, withhold his services in this the hour of his country’s troubles. We therefore feel authorized to say that he will not refuse any place to which the people, may call him. THE PEOPLE Monroe County, Oct. 24 th [For the Southern Confederacy. Messrs. Adair & Smith : In your issue of the 23d inst., “ Observer” se-ms 1«' be astonished that any man pretending io be a friend to Co! Gartrell, would admit that there were men in his regiment who were better qualified to com mand it than Col. Gartrell. However well C<>l. Gartrell may be qualified for this command, if “ Observer" were as well acquainted with many of those in Col. Gartrell’s regiment as 1 am, be would not be “ astonished," or even surprised, that a friend of Col. Gartrell should states truth which does not in the least dis parage Col. Gartrell’s qualifications. There are in that regiment several gentlemen as well qualified to command a regiment as any Colonel with whom I had the honor of becom ing acquainted in that division of the army. But “Observer” says, “ If he (Col. Gartrell) is well qualified and efficient in the office he now holds, he ought not, as a man who loves his country, to resign for the sake of civil of fice.” Whether Col. Gartrell loves his coun try or not, is a question raised by “Observer" which I will not discuss, but will, in passing, merely remark, that I think Col. Gartrell evinces as much evidence of love of his coun try by fighting its battles voluntarily, as any man who stays at home and writes against him—perhaps more. Col. Gartrell is willing to serve his country wherever and whenever the free suffrage of a patriotic people call him; and if his friends should call him home from the field to serve them in the most important Congress that has assembled on this continent for the last. half century, I do not think Lis resignation of his office in the army, and his acceptance ot that of Representative in Con gress will give “Observer,” or anybody else, the right to say that Col. Gartrell does not love his country. Until Col. Gartrell’s friends show in some way that they desire him to accept the office of representative instead of tho office he now holds, he ought not to resign ; and I submit to the voters of this District wheth er “Observer" is right in insisting on his im mediate resignation, or whether 1 am right iu suggesting that he ought not to resign the of fice he now holds until his friends indicate their wishes for him to do so, by electing him to represent them in Congress. GWINNETT. Coumt Martial.— Confederate States vs. Charles Farrelly.—The court-martial sitting at the Barracks in this city have concluded the trial of the case of Charles Farelly, pri vate in the Telfair Irish Greys, charged with mutiny and using disrespectful language to his superior officers. The sentence of the court has been made public, and is as follows: Solitary confinement at intervals of fourteen days, for eighty-four days—hard labor, with ball and chain, during the five intervals of fourteen days each—and at the expiration of hie term of punishment (one hundred and fifty.four days,) to be dishonorably discharg ed from the service with forfeiture of pay. [Savannah News, Oct. 28rf. -+ Removal of Fremont.—The Cincinnati Commercial of the 19th learns that Fremont will be removed on the 22d. Gen. Hunter succeeds him. The Cincinnati Gazette says that Fremont Is removed by order of Lincoln. I To tbc Voters of the Eighth Congres sional District. Fellow-Citizens:— For thirty years .1 have been, in the character of a disunionist, strug gling in the cause of Southern Independence. During moat of that time, 1 have been con | tent to forego office, or the hope of office, ! rather than deny, or belie, my principles, or . yield an inch of what I believed to be our . rights as freemen, while other men, more j pliant, have enjoyed your favors by trimming I their sails to the popular breeze, and bawling J “Union” or “disunion,” as they thought by the one or the other, they could induce you to give them your votes. lor thirty years I have been telling you the Union would be dissolved, while thoseyou appointed sentinels, told you there was no danger, and that the South had the full meas ure of her rights, and had no cause to com plain, and that, as late as 1859. I did ho[.e that these evidences of foresight and firmness, would induce you, for your in terest, to trust me as your member of the Confederate Congress to guard your rights. I am anxious to secure for us, and ourchil Jren, an honest, just, equal, economical gov ernment. To effect this, I propose that the revenue to support the government shall be so arranged, as that each man shall pay ac cording to his property, and so that each man shall know exactly what he pays, and thereby be induced to watch how the money is spent I wish to limit the number of officers to the wants of the government, and to reduce all salaries to such an amount as will insure the best order of talents for each particular office, civil and military. I am in favor of free trade with all friendly nations I am opposed to one man holding two offi ces at once, and am opposed to nominating Conventions. While this war lasts, I wish to reduce the pay of members of Congress from 53.000 per annum to three or four dollars per day, and all civil officers in proportion, because I believe, if it becomes necessary, we should devote the last life and last, dollar, to the sus taining of our independence. I wear no mask and deal in no generalities. I have no secrets to keep With the sentitn ms above expressed. 1 ask you to trust your interests with the Old Man once. You know he will not deceive you. Very respectfully, JOHN A. JONES. P- S.— I had almost forgotten to say, that nothing but bad weather aud an exceedingly bad cold, has prevented my visiting you. I hope you will not suffer it to prejudice me with you. J. A. J. —♦ ♦-- - ■ - John Ross. The Fort Smith Times publishes a copy <f a “talk” from Jehu Ross, principal Chief of the Cherokees, ‘ to ths chiefs of the Shawnees and Senecas.” Acknowledgments are made to Geu. Fike for the copy, and it is stated that a similar appeal was sent to several other tribes. The following is the document : Broihkhs: You will remember that eight een years ago, in June last, a grand conven tion was held at this place by many nations of red brethren, that the wampum talk of our forefathers was then spoken, and listened to, that the ancient lire of peace was newly kin dled at Tahlequah in the West, that around this great council fire, we all smoked the pipe of peace and shook the right hand of broth erly friendship, and our hearts were made glad on that interesting occasion That the fire thus kindled was to give a great light to illuminate the paths which were made for the brethren to travel in, which were to be kept, clean and white, that the rising generations might walk in peace therein, that the doors of our houses were to be kept open to welcome the visits of all the red brethren to the end of time. And to the Cherokees and sires I then spoke, saying: “You Cherokees are placed now under the center of the sun—(his talk I leave with you for the different tribes, and when you talk it, our voice shall be loud enough to be heard over this Island.” Brothers, it has now become the duty of your Cherokee brother to raise his voice and make you a talk; therefore listen! I will tell you that there is a dark, black cloud iu the northern hemisphere, which is lowering o’er our bright southern sky, and it threatens to disturb and overwhelm the red man’s peace ful home : and, <zs men. I say that we must meet and repel it! Brothers, I am authorized to tell you that a highly diztinguished officer of the Confederate Slates of America has been commissioned by his government to enter into treaties with the Indian nations west of Ar kansas, and that our brethren—the Creeks, Choctaws, Chiekasaws, and Seminoles, and other remnant tribes up the Red river—have already entered into treaties of alliance, of fensive and defensive, with the said States.— This commissioner is expected here on the 25th inst., for the purpose of negotiating a treaty also with the Cherokee nation, and we hope to find a strong friend in the Southern Confederacy to support us in the defence of all our rights. It is, therefore, important for us to form an alliance with the government of the Confederate States of America Brothers, I send you this talk for tin pur pose of inviting you expressly to meet your Cherokee brethren and Gen. Pike, the dis tinguished commissioner, at this place on the 25tb of this month, that a conference might be had with you upon matters of the greatest importance to the peace and prosperity of your respective nations, and that the united brotherhood of the Indian nations might be preserved and perpetuated. Hoping that you will not fail to meet us around our great council fire to smoke the pipe of peace, and shake the right band of brotherly love. Ttiy friend and brother, Kooweskoowee, Signed Jno.
