rhe Great Races at Chickamocomico.
Wo have already published pretty full ac
counts of the speed made by the Y'ankees from
the presence of the 3d Georgia Regiment. 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.

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.

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,
