THE ENGAGEMENT AT WHiTSMARSH-
Camp Jacksoh,
Savannah, April 17, 1862.
Dear Cwf'dtracy:
*Tue Yauseei exhibited some more of their
characteristic impudence last evening. Late
in the evening the pickets lrom the 13th Ga,
fifty iu cumber, were attacked by the enemy
at W hit marsh. The Federalshad come up in
their boats for the purpose cf planting batte
ries on Ibe Marsh to silence our guns at Thun
der bo t and Cauiten’s, but fortuuately we had
the approaches well guarded, and they failed
in the undertaking. In the first part of the
engagement, beforethe reinforcements arrived,
our pickets captured two prisoners and killed
one Lieutenaut, whose sword they now hold
We lost three, who died on the field. We had
ten wounded. Tne killed and most of the
wounded were from Capt. Crawford’s company
tif Early county. Capt. McCalley, of Troup,
was a so in the engagement, and some of his
man were wounded. Capt. Loug, of Troup,
and Capt Harltfield, of Upson, were sent for
ward by Col. D< ugias, < f the 13th, to take part
in ;be action, but did not arrive in time. The
action was short, gallant and fierce. The
Fyderals had 800 engaged We had the pick-
elaand two other companies. N'ght closed
the action. The Yankees relirea to a clump
of t ees, behind which their gunboats were
Steaming up for their departure. We bald the
poehiou until L2 at night, and left it again in
the bands ot our pickets. We have a fO'Ce
there how fit ly sufficient to keep off danger.
•These facts were kindly ’elated to me bj
Ma or N. M Harris, of tde 1 Oth Georgia, who
happened to be down there, and joined the
ranks as a private to do battle for his country.
The Yankees have made no further move
in the 8*vaonfth R ver We are doing all we
can for the protection of the “ Fo'rest City"
and its cu.sjna. I thick that we are sale if
wecontii ue to be determined.

COSFIDIRATS NOTM.
On* of the mournfclest sign* of the time* Is effort
which U now being made ty broker* and money chang
er* to depreciate the value of Confedera e Treasury
No**. Is Tennessee and VirglLia. thl* effort ha* been
more or leu successful, and we know men who art at
thl* time enga ed in buying op Treasury Note* at from
ten to firtten per cent. discount, paying for tne n la the
Issue* of little wild-cat bank*—many of which are
mere Individual concern*, bating bat ilttie or so basis
for proper cred.ta. It i« difficult- to sew why Treasury
Note* »h uid be sold at a heavy discount for the Issue*
of private banking e-tabHshaients which never had a
respectable credit outside of the State In whlet they
were located, and, In many Instance*, not even there.
Y#!, such Is the fact, and It Is doing more to weaken
confidence In our G vernment In the herder State*
then perhap* every othtr cause combined. It U, be-
s dw, creating dissatisfaction In oar Army, and raodsr*
recruiting extremely difficult. Poor men, who have
large and helpless families to support, a-e kept oat el
the army for tLis vtry reason. They feel that there Is
no patriotism in join ng the army end periling their
lives for their country’s freedom, when they know their
wires and lit.le ones must suffer hunger at home.
They cannot be censured for this. Man’s first secular
duty is to provide for those immediately dependent up
on him for the means of sustaining life ; secondary only
to th a, U his duty to his country. Man who have
the means of supporting their families, outside of the
pittance due a soldier, can well afford to volunteer, and
should do so whether the money they receive for their
services be at par or at fifty per cent, discount Nay,
they should even go without pay of any kind, If aeeee
vary. They are in a situation to discharge both dome*
tic and civil obligations, and It U the.r imperative moral
duty to do It. :
But suppose a man has noth'ng but a rented house
fall ot helpless children, and that they are wholly de
pendent upon him from day to day for tho bread they
eat—as Is the ewe with hundred in Tennessee and North
Georgia—and that he Joins tho army as a private, at elev
en dollars per month, payable in Treasury Notes. We
will suppuse him to be temperate, prudent, and eoonom
leal, and that he sends, his family regularly, at the ex
piratlon of each quarter, the sum of thirty-three dollars
with whatever additional bounty he may receive. This
money must be ehuVcd, say 20 per cent., (and It has
been sold here, I am told, by soldiers, at 23), 124 40 to
support a family of say six children, three months, when
bacon sells at thirty-five cents, meal at one dollar and a
1 alf.per busjiel, flour At twelve and a half dollars per
barrell, and everything else In proportion. Do you
b.ame men for not volunteering under such circum
stances as these f Would a man feel that he was in a
line of duty should he volunteer under such eircum
stances? Cou d ha wear his knapsack with an approv
Ing conscience ? Or rather would he not fee! that he
had neglected a duty than which he owes but one high
er—obedience to his Maker?
In legal parlance, there is said to be no wrong without
an adequate remedy. This speculation in Treasury
Notes, and murderous crusade against the weakest point
in our Government, Is strong. Is there no remedy
We have never been ot those, Messrs Editors, who
waged an indiserizsihate warfare against what is popu
larly called "speculation” we endiss, in the main, your
stricture# on this subject. There has been a great deal
of unnecessary complaint about ‘'speculators.'' Ail
traders are not extortioners; th* majority of them are
following a legitimate bufsness, and are beneficial to
*>ciety. But, under existing circumstances, is sharing
Confederate notes with the worthless trash of private
banking establishments, and still more worthless bar
room and corporation shLplasters a legitimate and
honorable business? If it is, we hope some friend who
has the ability will have the kindness to show ns tcAy
it is so. I( it is not, we hope to see seme measure ad
opted that will eradicate the evil NEPOB.

Castor oil
Very few persons have any idea of the iwge yield of
this oil from the bean, known among us as the Palma
Christi. It grow* about oar lots, yard and hedge*, and
Is generally considered a nuisance. Farmers often try
to rid their place* of it. Now, we have ate for it, end
*bou!d cultivate It largely. Every finally uses cas
tor oil. It is one of the most common and nse-
ful articles of medicine in use. The profits from eu,U-
vating it, sad making oil from the seed, are very large.
The oil Is getting scarce, and will be much scarcer, if
the war continue*. Before another year roils round, It
will command enormous prices.
Then let every farmer in the country cultivate more
or less of the seeds. We annex the following recipe for
enltlrating the seed, and making the olL
** Strip the seeds sf their husks er pod*; then bruise
them in mortars. Afterwards they are to be ti-d in lin
en bags, and bo.Ud In water until the nil which they
eontoin rises to the surface. This is carefully skimmed
off, strained, to free It from any accidental impurities,
and bottled for use. Pressed cas or oil i, obtained »*»
almond oil, by 1 raising the seed* into paste with w*-
ter, and dunning the mixture, when the oil poeem over.

ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
Of the Mobile R'gisicr & Advertiser.
C xrsT*, April 1*, 1862.
Beth armies teem to have settled de vu Into a state
of quiet. There is more or less skirmishing between
the pickets end cavalry, in which the l onfederates In
variably g-t the best of it. It has rained almost unin
terruptedly since the battle, and the C'-nditlon of the
roads Is such at to tender tbrm impassable to artillery
and baggage trains. It it not probable, therefore, that
the enemy will undertake any offensive movement of a
general character lor tome days—perhaps not for two
weeks.
The telsure of the Memphis A Charles'on Railroad
at Huntsville should create no alarm It Is to be re
gretted, of course, but it has been expected fur some
time. - The army for toe defence of the Southwest has
already been more or Iris concentrated; and eh uld it
be found necessary to call for oadltl jlxI troops from
th* South Atlantic S.at- s, thev can be fo warded by
another route. The interruption of commu lcatlon by
the road wilt doubtless Interfere with the arrangements
of the Quartermaster’s Department, which has been
drawing a good deal of forage from points east of
Huntsvilie. So much greater the necessity, therefore,
that every blade of ft dder and every grain of corn in
the Cot'on States should be eare utly husbanded. Noth
ing upon which max or b< ast can subsist should be
wasted.
There is no reason to believe that tho enemy will
seek to move down into Alabama from Huntsville. HU
destination Is Memphis and New Orieans. He may oc
cupy so much of Alabams as lies north of the Tennes
see river, but he will hardly Ventura to cross the river
so far east. That portion of tho ra.lroad lying north
of the river cannot be much, If any, less than one hun
dred miles long.
A complete muster roll of the Federal expedition cp
the Tennessee, was found on the battle-field. It shows
that tho enemy had a torce at ai.d around ti.e battle
ground ot fii.uOO men. This Includes the division ot
Uen Lewis Wallace at Cramp’s laoulng, four mi.e» be
low Pittsburg, and which was not engaged antil early
Mon iay morning. There were 21 batteries, averaging
six pieces to th* batte y—.hud making the number of
their guns 1S6. after ueduoting the divls on at Crump’s
landing, anu allowing 6,000 for the sick, wehave a force
of 48,600 men. These men we fought on Sunday. The
fores* opposed le us ou Monday, 25,000 of whom were
fresh troops, were still larger, allow 10,0 0 for the
captured, killed, wounded and disabled on Sunday,
there would still remain of the ordinal force fc8,000
men. Wallace’s division of 7,300, and Buell’s jreln'-
foreements, who came up Monday, roughly estimated
at ITAOd—making together 2\00J men—would swell the
Federal army opposed to us on Monday to 63,000 —
Theee fresh force# doubtlee# brought with them as
many guns as we had captured, which would leave
their artillery about as strong on Monday as It was on
Sunday.
It would be Improper, perhaps, to offer any estimate
of the foiees engaged cn our side. When all the facts
shall have com# out, however, there win be found ad
ditional reason for the pride we so justly feel in South
ern arms and Southern prowess. The Confederate for
ces were chiefly from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. Georgia
was represented by an excellent battery and a fine
cavalry company, and gallant little Florida had a reg
iment ou the field Georgia, as you know, is very large
ly represented on other fields. It would be improper to
maks distinctions, if any really exLted; and I am glad
to have It la my power to state, as the result of my own
personal observation on the field, and from information
derived from official Sources, that all our troops be
haved with the greatest ga lantry, They conducted
themselves as men ought to do who were fighting for
their hearthstones and for liberty Itself. Alabama has
J ust Si*on (o feel gratified with the performance ot
her heroic children. This is the judgment of all men.
And while all the superior officers distinguished them
selves, your own Gen. Withers eras among the most he-
role and daring, gallantly leading his men ip t£e v.try
thickest of the fight. He escaped, . I am giid to say,
without a aratch.
Tho deahing General Gladden, who »<* ably led four of
your own regiments, has just brpjMhid his last! A
brave officer and nobis spirit has gona doffiu but tils
aams wilt long live on glory’s p&go.
I, is aow f.ated that Gen. Johnston was not struck
in tbs body at all, but that he was wounded In the foot
ami just above and behind the knep. Jt was the lattcir
wound that proved fatal The bad cut an <trtery, and
he was so lar in advance that he bled to death before a
surgeon canid be brought up I It was a critical mo
ment, and ha placed himaeii at t La head of* brigade,
and mads a bold dash at the anemy which literal!)'
scattered them to th* winds. Bui his life was the price
of our success. AH honor to the fallen chief! He en
tered the battle with the resolu Ion to return victori
ous or die upon his shield. He did bulb 1
The battle abounded In acts of personal prowess and
Individual gallanwy. I have already alluded to e uch
as cams Vo my knowledge; but the weatner b«* beau
eweh, and the iaclililes for visiting the camps, which
occupy an area of se.eral miles, are so limited, that I
have not found It possible to coLectahd verily >hemfor
pub lcatlon. Most It them will reach you ihrjugh
private letters, and to them l must r.e.er yon for the
prtsent.
On* thing I must urge upon the people at home, ami
that 1s to fill up as rapidly as possible the places of the
noble dead. Many of the companies and regiments
have suffered very heavily; soma oi them hare been
decimated, and but lew were ever entirely full. Lot re
cruits come forward at once, and take up the arms thtt
have been laid aside by the fsnen brave. Another
great battle will be fought here soon; U not hers, then
somewhere in the vicinity of the Tennessee river, fim
whenever and wherever fought. It must be mere or less
Uaclstvsof th* campaign In the bouthw^st. Cavalry
ore moi wanted; ms hare too many now. The country
Is unsuited te this kind of service. 8uch Is ths opinion
ef our best office, s; and 1 doubt whether any more
cavalry would be received, if offered.
No return has been maue, as far as I have been in
formed, of the number of guns aaptured. The reports
of the killed and woundvd come In slowly also, owing
te the active duty upon which many of the regiments
are engaged. W* sliil hold a part of the battls-fieid,
and troops a ho are thus engaged have but little Una to
prepare reports. Our entire loss, It is now thought, is
quite 8,o0o. At least one-third of tbs woundsd are al
ready upon their feet.
I hove just heard that among the slain on the Fede
ral aide was Gen Lewis Wallace, who commenced the
division brought up f rom Cramp's landing. The com-
mender* of divisions were Sherman, Smltn(sick), Pren
tiss, McCternand, Hurlbut, and the two Wallaces.
On our sldeGsn. Johnston was killed, sad Gee. Glad
den has since died. Cheatham was wounded in tne
*BbBld*r r and had three horse* shot under him Bush-
rod Johnson was wounded In the side; Hard re very
sligatly in aria and side, and horse shot, and B casr In
ths neck—all slight. Major Gilmer, Chief of Engineers,
had h,s arm broken by a spent ball—wound notterions.
A coorler has this moment brought news of the cap
tor* of Decatur.
I return to Memphis for a few days, to look after af
fairs up the Mississippi, and to moke some necessary
arrangements for the campaign. p W A

The Wilmington Journal fears that Gen.
Jobnsioti may have been led to bis death by
the blurs which were cast upon him afier the
fall of Eonelsoo. Stung by the in just re
proaches of ibe people, he eiposed himself
rechiessty at Shiloh, and he fell—a martyr to
the public ceusure.
Commenting od the Journal's remarks, ibe
Enquirer, of day before yesterday, Bays:
“tf ibese things be true, the country gees in
this calamity an illustration of the evilB of
that ignorant yet dogmatical and defamatory
criticism which dogs the publio service and
maligns our best men. Lei us more than ev
er ooudemn a course as ruinous as it is inhus
man."
These are harsh words, fiut let us be just
to the living as well as to the dead. Very
bitter and very unjust were the reproaches
heaped upon lieu. Johnston after the evacua
lion of Bowling Greeo, the surrender of Don-
elaon, ami the fail of Nashville. Yet, with
the lights before them, it was impossible for
the public to reach any other conclusion than
that Johnston had been tried and found wan
ting. He had chosen his own position, had
abundant time to carry out bis plans, and
had, as every one supposed, an ample supply
of meu and arms. Yet, with all these, he
na 1 failed, and the failure was almost vital
in its consequences These were the faots as
ihe public were permitted to know them.—
The inference of incapacity on the part of the
General was ine v iiabie. it is idle and un
reasonable to expect the public to exhibit the
prtieut impartiality of the hisioriaa. The
deorsion of the public was jnst, so far as tbe
known facts were concerned; nor wou'd it
have ever been entirely removed but for tbe
publication t»f Gen- Johnston’s letter to the
President. That threw a Rood of light on
ib6 matter Other facts leaked out which
gave still more light. The public saw its
mia'ake, sod hastened at once, before the he
ro’s fall, to return the confidence it had, been
compelled to withdraw, (jeer a od oyer again
bad Geo Johnston called for rei itorcemeuu.
Little or no attention was peid to his calls.—
At his instance, Gov. Harris had called out
10,000 militia, *t;o wet a placed in camps of
instruction. A week or two eiapaed, and
i hey wire disbanded, as we learn, by a per*
emptory order from Riohmond. All these
facts, and many mope ljke>them, were studi
ously withheld from the pubue, tfhpwereoe
ludejj into tbe belief that the government
was doing its whole duty to its favorite chief
tain. lie was too proud, lop poble, to ‘indi
cate lmuselC by exposing the weakness <T
the folly of the Administration So Wash
ington, when assailed by Gates and Conway,
held bis peace, preferring personally disgrace
to ihe exposure of his government. As re
gards Johnston, the public had no choice but
to throw ibe blame—for blame there was un
questionably somewhere—on him. Hasty
judgments ®ny be preached about forever,
out to no purpose, Th? people will not wait
a century before making up ifecjr minds —
they will decide according to the facts before
them. If reproaches brought death to this
eminent urn ft, then the guilt oi his blood
rests on the mantle of tb*££ who allowed the
people to reproach bun uijustly—prop used
him as a scape goat for the public oensure.
We submit, in ad earnestnfss, to our esieens
ed ootemporsry, that the keeping of ihe ppo
pie in tbe dark as to the doings of the gev-
ernment, and tbe encouragement in the Ad
ministration of a belief in its own unap
proachable purity and infallibility, is neith
er the surest nor quiefeept method ef premo
rtng the public welfare -^Riehmn'J Whiff.
Manassas Dksseted — Oursoouia and pick
ets now ex'end their observa<i< as in the di
vision of the army as far as Manassas. Go
Friday a ccuple of mea made their appear
ance at Maoa-B%8. and stated that they came
through without molestation. A Yankee sol
dier was not to be seeu. These men wereta
ken in custoday on suspicion, and held tor
three or four hours, when a plain, honesi i
looking, uDsopniieated wagoner made his ap
pearance, and gave the same report.
At Lkesbcbu.—In Leegbur^. Va , the Yan
kees have taken possession of the Cnurcb,
Hall, Courthouse, Banks, ete They faavo
tried to force ciiiiens to take the oath, sent a
soldier to work with negroes at a wagon, haul-
iug stone, stolen apd robbed teatfls, bouses,
etc,, but tbe people walked around th* too art
rather than go under the Federal Flag.
North western Virouua,—The vote in
Wheeling, on the 3rd, on the bogus Consti
tution that tbe bogus Virginia Convention
adopted, was carried by G46 majority and a
majority of 588 in favor of gradual emancipa
tion. The vote in tbe western counties was
reported io be in the tame ratio.

that there are iw circulation bills on the Bank
of East Tennessee—a bank which uo longer
