made upon her, had furnished more troops
than the President asked for, and that she
would have furnished 20,000 more if her ex
ecutive had beeu called on as a pan of her
quota for go large a number. No plea of ne
cessity, could, therefore, in the opinion of
the Governor, be set up for the passage of tbe
act so far as Georgia is concerned.
It is a well known fact, that the President
has not arms enough to arm all the troops
now in (he field. The Conscription Act will
call into the field a very large additional «n*
arm'd foroe, and take these men all from
their farms a! a time which will cause many
thousands of acres of land to lie idle, when
it is of the most importance that they be cul
tivated to produce supplies of provisions.—
The Gov. has wriiten the President calling
bis attention to tbe importance of exempting
such overseers as are necessary to govern our
slaves, and cause them to cultivate our lands
and make provisions. The President ha9 re
plied, referring him to ihe Exemption Act,
whioh does not exempt them, and declining
to give any assurance that they will he ex
empt.
The Governor is of opinion that we have
never beeu in danger from want of men, but
that our deficiency has been the want of
arms ; and if the defensive policy is to be per
sisted in, and large numbers of men forced 10
leave their farms, and go into camp for tbe
summer without arms, when they are so muck
needed in the fields, he seriously fears, that
we are in grea er dinger of being overcome
with hunger than from any other cause.
For tbe last twelve months Gov. Brown has
favored a more active, and an aggressive pni-
icy, and his opinion now is that the best
thing that could possibly be done would be
to throw a column of fifty or seventy-five
thousand of our best trained men to Chatta*
nooga, in the shortest time possible, and put
them under Gen. Price or some one else who
has shown that nature made him a General,
and march them rapidly by tbe way of Nash*
ville upon Louisville and Cincinnati. This
would throw them into Gen. Buell’s rear, and
he would be compelled to follow (item into
Kentucky. Gen. Beauregard could then for
low close after Buell. This would compel
tbe Federal column operating against East
Tennessee to fall r>aok towards the Ohio and
Gen. Kirby Smith could follow, and in (hiriy
days there would not be a Federal soldier in
Tennessee. The effect would be not only to
liberate that noble State, but to arouse her
whole people, and the people of the whole
Confederacy to renewed energy and activity.
We are now supporting our own armies and
a large portion of the Lincoln army, from
the productions of the Cotton States. The
proposed movement would drive back tbe
Federal army and place our own army in the
rich fields and green pastures of Kentucky,
where supplies would be abundant; while the
Railroad connection would be re opened into
the heart of Tennessee and enable us to draw
supplies from her rich vallies lor the sup
port of our people at home, now so hard
pressed for provisions It may be objected
that we have not the 76,000 men in the field
to spare. We can readily concentrate them
by withdrawing them from places where they
are guarding points which must fall when at-
tocked by the gunboats of the enemy, and
which are of but little value when compared
with the grand object to be accomplished.—
We have simply hinted at the outline of a
policy to which we may recur at a future
time.—Federal Union, May iith.

To the Editor of the Confederacy:

Yankee Account of the Bridgeport Skir
mish.
lir\Ts\n.i.R, Ala., via Louisville, >
May 1st, 1862. /
To Hon. £. M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
On yesterday the enemy having cut our
wireo and attacked during the night one of
our brigades, l deemed it my duty to head
in person the expedition against Bridgeport.
[ started by a train of cars in the morning,
; followed by two additional regiments of in
1 fantry and two companies of cavalry. I
found that our pickets had engaged the ene
my’s pickets four miles from Bridgeport, and
after a short engagement, in whioh we lost
one man killed, droye them across a stream
whose railway bridge I burned. They had
four regiments of infantry and two pieces of
artillery dragged by hand, and two compa
nies ot cavalry.
At 3 P. M. we advanced to the burnt bridge
and opened our fire upon the enemy’s pickets
on the other side, thus producing the impres
sion that our advance would be by the rail
way. This accomplished, the entire force was
thrown across the country, about a mile
above, and put on the road leading from Ste
venson to Bridgeport. The whole column
now advanced at a very rapid pace. Our
cavalry scouts attacked those of the enemy
and forced them from the Bridgeport road.
We thus succeeded in making a complete sur
prise, deliberately forming our line of battle
on the crest of a wooded hill within five hun
dred yards of works constructed to defend
the bridge.
At our first fire the guards broke and run.
They attempted to blow up the main bridge,
butViled. They then attempted to fire the
farther extremity, but the volunteers at my
call rushed forward in the faoe of their fire
and saved it. The bridge from the island to
the main shore we could not save. It is of
small moment, its length being only about
460 feet.
The prisoners taken report that five regi
ments of infantry and 1,800 cavalry were
stationed at the bridge.
This campaign is ended, and I now occupy
Huntsville in perfect security, while in ail of
Alabama north of the Tennessee river there
floats no flag but that of the Union.

Brig. Gen. Commanding Third Division.

He states that the repulse of Williamsburg
seems to have stopped their advance in that
direction altogether.
The prisoners taken on Monday were prin
cipally of Heintzieman’e division, and part
by Sumners’. Nothing is said of the extent
of the easualities on either side.
[second DISPATCH ]
An official letter from Gan. Johnston, dated
at Barhawsville at 11, A. M..,yesterday,which
states that the enemy is landing under cover
of their gunboats near West Point. No men
tion is made ot the imm<nency of an engage
ment; but on the contrary, the tenor of his
letter indicates that he did not expect a con
flict with the enemy.
Mobile, May 8.—The advance of Porter’s
fleet—seven vessels, is off Fort Morgan, and
ten more off Horn Island—moving eastward
and firing occasionally—apparently feeling j
for masked batteries.
The forces at the Fort are confident of be
ing able to hold tbe enemy in check. (More
brags.—Eds. CosrED.j

Richmond, May 7.—An official letter from
Gen. Johnston states that in the affair at
Williamsburg Monday, the enemy attacked
his rearguard in great force, and were driven
back to the woods about a mile. The troops
principally engaged were Longstreet’s and
Stuart’s brigades. The repokt is current on
the street this morning, that in ihe above af
fair, the enemy were completely repulsed
with a loss of several hundred prisoners.
This report is traced to a soldier who arrived
this morning from below, and affirmed that a
letter from Gen. MeLaws to Gen. Cobb, was
read in his hearing, communicating the
above.
Subsequently a dispatch was received by
the Secretary of War from Gen. Magruder
via Petersburg, whioh says he heard that the
loss of the enemy was heavy, including 900
prisoners and ten pieces of artillery ; and
our loss, in killed and wounded, reported at
.">00. The dispatch says the enemy is again
pressing forward, (This looks very much
like the latest from the reliable gentleman.—
En«. Confed.)
[second dispatch.J
Northern papers to the 4th Inst., received.
A special Washington dispatch to the New
York Ttmis, says it is rumored that all the
members of Congrees from the border States
and a number of conservative sympathisers
from other States, are seriously donsidering
the propriety of withdrawing in a body from
the Senate and House.
There was great excitement in Baltimore
growing out of a rumor that France intended
to interpose iu American affairs.
The Herald says that diplomatic move
ments are set on foot in Washington, with
the view of bringing about a compromise in
volving the recognition of the political inde
pendence of the South.
The steamer Bermuda, which sailed from
Liverpool about 1st April for Bermuda, W. I.
was captured Sunday last, and taken to Phil
adelphia. Her cargo is powder and muni
tions of war.
(From the Sarar.iiah Repnb'.icsn,)
Cokinth, May 6, a. m.—The enemy is mov
ing large forces on our right. They tore np
the track of the Memphis & Charleston Rail
road yesterday, at a point ten miles east of
Corinth. The object of the movement ie,
probably, to try and reach the Mobile road
south of us, and cut off men and supplies in
that quarter. Beauregard is on the alert,
aod has sent an adequate force to defeat
their plans.
Col.Seott, of the Louisiana cavalry, burnt
the railroad bridge over Limestone, between
Decatnr and Huntsville, Thursday laet. He
also captured two Yankee provision trains,
burnt twenty cars, and killed and wounded
thirty-four Federal". He also engaged the
enemy’s cavalry on Friday, at Elk river, and
repulsed them, though half his men had
crossed the river and were not in the fight.
He killed thirty five of the Federals. The
Confederate loss on the expedition was four
killed, five wounded, and twelve horses.
P- W. A.
LATER —F. J*.
The weather is clear, but the roads are in
a shocking condition. A battle cannot be de
ferred, however. Col Adams, of the Federal
army, who was captured by our scouts on
Saturday, says the Northern Army must fight
soon, or become wholly demoralized. The
men are uneasy about the climate and sick
ness, and don’t want to go any further south.
Col. Morgan (the famous Captain Morgan)
has just jbeen heard from. He fought, de
feated and captured a Federal force of 268,
and then captured the whole party, at Pu
laski, Tenn. He subsequently discharged
the prisoners on their parole, and then de
stroyed several railroad trains loaded with
Federal property. P. W ’ 4
