-IT 13 NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE 18 NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY."—Patrick Henry in tfu first Revolution.
The Hattie ol' Chlckahomluy.
It would seem that the battle was between
only a small portion of the respective forces.
The battle of Sunday would seetn to have
between the commands of Gen. Longatreet
on our side, and Gen. Keyes on the other—
and that neither McClellan nor Johnston
participated in the fight. It was only a
skirmish, so to apeak —a desperate set to be
tween a portion of the hostiles forces, to
test the spirit and fighting qualities of each,
and is only a prelude to the mighty shock
that ia to come off when the two great armies
come in oollisien. If we can get a fair fight
we have no fears whatever.

ihe 1'nroW Yankee Prisoners Sent Back—Mitchell’s
Juubo&t—Confederate Movement*—Mitchell’s Cot
ton Traln^-Prllllng, Poouts, Rain, Maryland, Ac.
Nickajaok, June 2, 1862.
Major Haroer returned here on Saturday
evening in the steamboat Faint Rock with
the last batch of five hundred paroled Yan
kee prisoners, whom Mitchell, from some
cause not assigned, refused to receive. The
prisoners were sent to Chattanooga yesterday
by rail.
We have trom pretty accurate authority
the intelligence that Mitchell's gunboat at
Huntsville is nearly finished. The hull is
that of a large four-horse ferry boat; the upper
works have been sawed out at saw mills in
the vicinity, and the motive power is an en
gine and boiler taken from a steam saw mill.
As we deem it most prudent to say nothing
of the position or movements of the Confede
rate troops until after the intelligence would
bo useless to the enemy, we will leav e you to
guess at what ia doing or may be done by our
soldiers m this vicinity. It may bo stated,
however, that two Hundred and fifty Texas
Rangers started on an expedition towards
Bellfontaine on Saturday, having for their
object the capture of -— Yankees, of course.
We examine our masked battery occasion
ally to see if the powder is dry, as we have
uo intention of running upon the advent of
Mitchell's gunboat, unless we should be shot
or oyerpowered.
A Federal train tour hundred wagons
loaded with Cotton from Huntsville, passed
through SLelbyville last week under a guard
of five hundred men.
We need more discipline in our armies and
among our soldiers hereabouts. It is the boast
ol ali good armies. Obedience—prompt and
willing—to the commanding officer, is the
soldier's first duty. A knowledge of what his
duties are, is the part of all the officers to
teach the m»u at once, and all the tirno.—
Drill should never be neglected or omitted,
and no one excused therefrom except from
sickness, or when assigned to other duty.—
Two companies have been stationed here for
two weeks, and have not drilled once since
here, partly from want of room to drill in,
which, however, fifteen minutes would have
secured. It i3 impossible to expect undisci
plined troops to conduct themselves iu battle
as they should and would were they well
drilled. Strangers should not be allowed
ingress to camp, and only those citizens who
«re known to be true Southerners. An ounce
of precaution is worth a pound of cure.
Too much reliance cannot be placed upon
well-ordered scouts of infantry and cavalry,
and upon pickets. Had Gen. Reynolds had
reliable Ecouts at Jasper and Bridgeport, he
never would have received the report that
“five thousand Y’ankees had crossed Shell*
mound,” a thing in itself impracticable for
accomplishment within a week, under the
circumstances. “ Be sure you are right, then
go ahead.’’ Old Crockett’s motto is good ad
vice in scouting. Scouts should endeavor to
procure and lurnish nothing but facts. Ii is
a service requiring brave, prudent and cau
tious men, without arms, or visible arms, with
many eyes, and but little tongue, good ears
and legs.
A violent storm of wind and rain, accom
panied by thunder and lightning, visited us
yesterday, prostrating trees, *rain, Ac. To
day it rains in very copious showers. From
Stonewall Jackson’s proceeding we incline to
believe we will he able to revisit our native
city of Baltimore before long, as a Confederate
•oldier in that brave General's ranks. Look
out for a stampede from and to Washington

CHAPTER II.
[ooNCLCDkD ]
8f>. Soldier'* Health.
‘■In any ordinary campaign, sickness Jo
atroys or disables three times as many as
the sword.
“Oa a march, from April t> November, the
entire clothing should bo a coloroJ flannel
shirt, with a loosely buttoned collar, cotton
drawers, woolen pauialoons, shoes and stock
ings, and a light colored felt hat, with a broad
brim, to protect the neck eyes and face from
the glare of the sun and from the rain, and a
substantial, but not heavy, coat when off
duty.
“Sun stroke may be prevented by wearing
a silk handkerchief ia the hat, or a white
linen hood hat cover, extending like a cape
over the neck and shoulders.
“Colored blankets are best, and if lined
with brown drilling the warmth and dura
bility are doubled, while the protection from
dampness while lying on the ground is com
plete. Never lie or sit down on the grass or
bare earth for a moment; rather use your
hat—a handkerchief even ia a great protec
tion. The warmer you are the greater need
for this precaution, as a damp vapor is im
mediately generated to be absorbed by the
clothing and to cool you off too rapidly.
“While marching, or on other active duty,
the more thirsty you are, the more essential
it is to safety of life itself to rinse out the
mouth two or three times and then take a
swallow of water at a time, with short inter
vals. A braye French general, on a forced
march, fell dead on the instant by drinking
largely of cold water, when snow was on the
ground.
“Abundant sleep is essential to bodily effi
ciency, and to that alertness of mind which
is all important in an engagement; and few
things more certainly and more effectually
prevent sound sleep than eating heartily af
ter sundown, especially after a heavy march
or a desperate battle.
“Nothing is more certain to secure endu
rance and capability of long continued ef
fort, thau the avoidance of everything as a
drink except cold water, not excluding coffee
at breakfast. Drink even cold water very
slowly.
“After any sort of exhausting effort, a cup
of coffee, hot or cold, is an admirable sua-
tainer of strength, unti nature begins to re
cover herself.
“Unless after a long abstinence or great
fatigue, do not eat very heartily just before a
great undertaking, because the nervous pow
er is irresistibly drawn to the stomach to
manage the food eaten, thus drawing off the
supply which the brain and muscles so much
need.
“If poisons will drink b*andy, it is incom
parably safer to do so after an effort than
before; for it can give only a transient
strength, lasting but a lew minutes; but as
it can never be known how long any given
effort is to be kept in continuance, and if
longer than the few minutes the body be
comes more feeble than it would have been
without the stimulus; it is clear that its use
before an effort is always hazardous, and is
always unwise.
“Never go to sleep, especially after a great
effort, even in hot weather, without some
cover over you.
“Under all circumstances, rather than lie
down on the bare ground, lie in the hollow
of two logs placed together, or across several
smaller pieces of wood laid side by side; or
ait on your hat and lean against a tree. A
nap of ten or fifteen minutes in that position
will refresh you more (with the additional
advantage of perfect safety) than an hour’s
sleep on the bare ground.
“A cut is less dangerous than a bullet
wound, and heals more rapidly.
“If from any wound the blood spirts out iu
jets instead of a steady stream, you will die
in a few minutes, unless it is remedied ; be
cause an artery has been divided, and that
takes the blood directly from the fountain of
life. To stop this instantly tie a handker
chief or other cloth very loosely between the
wound and the heart: put a stick, bayonet
or ramrod between the skin and the hand
kerchief, and twist it around until the bleed
ing ceases, and keep it thus until a surgeon
arrives. If the blood flows ia a slow, regu
lar stream, a vein has been pierced, and the
handkerchief must be tied on the other side
of the wound from the heart—that is, below
the wound. A bullet through the abdomen
(belly or stomach) is more certainly fatal
than if aimed at the head or heart; for in
the latter cases, the ball is often glanced off
by the bone or follows it under the skin; but
when it enters the stomach or bowels from
any direction, death is almost inevitable un
der any circumstances, though scarcely ever
instantaneous. Generally the person lives a
day or two with perfect clearness of intel
lect, often not suffering greatly. The practi
cal bearing of this statement in reference to
the great future is clear.
“Let the whole beard grow, but not longer
than some three inches. This strengthens
and thickens ite growth, and thus makes a
more perfect protection for the lungs against
dust, and for the throat against wind and
cold in winter, while in the summer a great
er perspiration of the skin is induced, with
an increase of evaporation; hence greater
coolness of the parts on the outside, while
the throat is less feverish, thirsty and dry.
“Avoid fats and fat meats in summer, and
on all warm days.
“ Whenever possible, take a plunge into
any lake or stream every morning as soonaa
you get up; it none at hand, endeavor to
wuh the body oil over as soon as you leave
your bed, for personal cleanliness acts like a
charm against all diseases, always either
warding them off altogether, or greatly miti
gating their severity and shortening their
duration. Keep the hair of the head close
ly cut, say within an inch and a half of the
scalp in every part, and repeat the cutting
every month ,* wash the whole scalp plenti
fully in cold water every morning.
“Wear woolen stockings and easy fitting
shoes -keeping the toe and finger nails al
ways cut moderately close.
“It is more important to wash tha met well
every night than to wash the hands and face
ol mornings; because it aids in keeping the
skiu and nails soft, and in preventing chal-
ings, blistsrs and corns, all of which greatly
interfere with a soldier’s duty.
“The most universally safe of all positions
after 3tunniugs, hurts and wounds, is that of
being placed on the back, the head being el-
vated three or four inches only—aiding more
thau any one thing else can do to equalise
and restore the proper circulation ot the
blood
“The more weary you are after a march or
other work, the mere easily will you take
cold, if you remain still after it is over, un
less, ths moment it is over, you throw a coat
or blanket over your shouldors. This pre
caution should be taken even in the warmest
weather, especially if there is even a slight
air stirring.
“ The greatest physical kindness you can
show a severely wounded comrade is first to
place him on his back, and then run with all
your might for some water to drink; not a
second ought to be lost. If no vessel is at
hand, take your hat; if no hat, off with your
shirt, wring it out once, tie the arms in a
knot, also the lower euds, thus making a bag
open at the neck only. A fleet person can
convey a bucket-full half a mile in this way.
I have seen a dying man clutch at a single
drop from the finger’s end with the vora
ciousness of a famished tiger.
“ If wet to the Bkin by rain or from swim
ming rivers, keep in motion until the clothes
are dry, and no harm will result.
“Whenever it is possible, do, by all means,
when you have to use water or cooking or
drinking irorn ponds or sluggish streams,
boil it well, and when cool shake it or stir
it, so that the oxygen if the air shall get to
it; this greatly improves it for drinking —
The boiling arrests tke process of fermenta
tion which arises from the presence of or
ganic and inorganic impurities, thus tend
ing to prevent cholera and all bowel disea
ses. If there is no time for boi.ing, at least
strain it through a cloth, even if you have
to use a shirt or trowser leg.
“Twelve men are hit in battle when dress
ed in red, where there are only five dressed
in bluish gray—a difference of more than
two to one ; green, seven; brown, six.
“Water can be made almost ice cool in tha
hottest weather by closely enveloping a till
ed canteen or other vessel with woolen cloth,
kept plentifully wet and exposed.
“While or a msreh Ha d —o the uiomeut
you halt for a rest, overy minu: spent in
that position refreshes more th ,n live min
utes standing or loitering aoout—but al *vays
have something under you- A daily execu
tion of the bowels is indisj.ji.aiblc to L,icily
health, vigor and endurauc ; this is promo
ted in many cases by stirring a table spoon-
full of com meal iu a glase of water, and
drinking it on rising in the moruiug. Loose
bowels, acting more than once a day, with a
feeling of debility afterwards, is the first
step towards cholera.; the bast remedy is in
stant and perfect quietude of body, eating
nothing half boiled rice with or without boil
ed milk ; ia more decided case*, a woolen
flannel, with two thickness** in front, aho’d
be bound tightly around the abdomen, es
pecially if marching is accessary.
“Te have been to the wars ia a life long

How many thousands of valuable lives
would the observance of these simple pre
cautions have preserved to the army.the coun
try and their families ! Gen. Johnston died in

of them. It is the duty of all commissioned

not only to enjoin them upon their men, but
to enforce their observance.

Whistling to Keep the Courage.
Frentice,. in his Journal of May ‘24 th tries
to keep up the courage of the Northern peo
ple in reference to the expeoted fight ot Cor
inth, on this wise :
Our whole country has confidence in Gen.
Halleck. He is cool, brave, and scientific;
There is no quality ef a great chieftain that
he lacks. Every great undertaking of his
life has been successful, and genius, and his
judgment. He now eeems to be moving up
on Beauregard in the same manner adopted
by McClellan at Yorktown, and with the
same certainty of success.
With respect to the efficiency of the na
tional army, a correspondent of the St. Louis
Democrat writes that nothibg better could
be wished. It is healthy, well armed, and
disciplined, and supplied in the most ample
and effective manner. When we add to this
that Gen. Halleck has at the heads of his
several cerps, Pope,.whose splendid strategy
captured the entire rebel army at Island No.
10; Buell, whose magnificent fighting re
trieved the fortunes of the day at Shiloh ;
Mitchell, whose brilliant campaign cleared
out Northern Alabama liks a lightning flash;
and Thomas, the victor at Mill Spring, where
the tide of victory was first effectively turn
ed in favor of the Union arms ; when these
faots are considered, those who are appre
hensive because movements are slow will be
convinced that they are not slow without
good purpese, and that we have both the
army and the Generals at Corinth to make
triumph certain.

Camp Six Miles Nouih 1
ot WiscnssTBB, -
Sunday, May 25th, 18C2. J
Dear Republican .—We met the enemy at
Front Royal, Warren county, Va., on f ri d ay
evening. He made but a short stand. The
first Maryland Volunteers on the I ankee side,
was charged by the first regiment of Mary
land rebels who put their old acquaintances
to flight in a short time, capturing a stand
of oolors, killing ssveral and taking a num
ber of prisoners, who were recognized by
many old acquaintances.
We look the enemy by surprise and put
them to flight before onesfourth of our torces
had entered the town. The cavalry, among
which were the Wise Troop and Jack Alex 1 -
ander’s company, charged upon the lankees
in the retreat, killing many and capturing a
large number of prisoners. Ashby’s and
Stuart’s cavalry did good work by taking
two railroad trains, which were loaded with
provisions, and bringing in prisoner* all day
Friday.
The number of prisoners captured, as well
as I could learn and see, amounted to about
eleven hundred, mast of whom are Mary
landers.
We also captured a large amount of stores
and arms. Among the latter arc about 500
improved cavalry six-shooters, an article
very much needed.
I am told that the stores captured amount
to $300,000 to 400,000. We also took three
pieces of artillery.
When we entered Front Royal, the women
and children met us with shouts of the live
liest joy. As we passed through the piaoe
ia double quick, we could not stop to par
take of the hospitality so generously and
profusely tendered on all hands.
On Saturday, at early dawn, we were again
on the march to pay Gen. Banks a visit, wh*
was encamped at Strasburg, twelve miles
distant. After reconnoitering for several
hours, Col. Ashby’s cavalry marched down
the road leading to Middletown, which ia six
miles in the rear of Strasburg, and General
Ewell’s command down the road to Newton,
twelve miles in the rear of Strasburg. At 2
o’clook a courier reported that Banks was on
the retreat, and had passed Middletown, but
that two regiments of cavalry were still left
behind at Strasburg and Middletown, as a
baggage guard.
Gen. Ed Johnson’s division, under the com
mand of Brigadier General Elzey, was at
once ordered down the road to Middletown,
to pursue the enemy. On our march we me!
detachment after detachment of Ashby’s men
with prisoners and horses. Among one of
the squads of prisoners, about twenty in
number, was a woman, mounted. When we
came to the Valley turnpike we found hosts
of prisoners, and the road blockaded with
dead and live horses, and wagons heavy laden
with subsistence, &c., together with dead
and wounded Yankees.
We pushed on our column for about eleven
miles, when we halted for a few hours. We
:ueu learned that Banks had passed the road
leadiig into the Valley pike near Newton,
where Ewell’s command had entered the road.
Skirmishing was then kept up until a late
hour of the night, and at about 3 o’clock in
the morning we halted within three miles of
Winchester.
We found along the road about 100 wagons
loaded with baggage, together with a num
ber of boats (not of the gunboat order) on
wheels, which Banks had destroyed for fear
of their falling into our hands.
At early dawn this (Sunday) morning, we
advanced and attacked the mighty Banks iu
front of Winchester, After fighting about
out hour, distributing shell and minnie balls
profusely, our boys made a charge when the
Yankees left at double quick, after setting
fire to the town and burning their commis
sary stores.
The Lee Battery of Lynchburg, and two
others were ordered to pursue iu a gallop,
and the command was obeyed, they shelling
th* enemy for five miles.
When the army passed through the town,
men, women, and children were shouting,
“ thank God we are free—thank God we are
free onco more! ” Confederate flags and
white handkerchiefs were waved from every
window, and the happy smiles of lovely wo
men on all sides met the wearied soldier and
cheered him as he hurriedly passed through
the place in pursuit of the flying foe.
After pursuing the enemy for six miles we
were brought to a halt, and left the finishing
stroke to the cavalry, who have captured a
large number of prisoners who have been
sent in through the day. The final result
of the achievements are yet unknown.
Prisoners tell me that Gen. Banks has said
that he was afraid that he would have to sur
render his whole command, and to be re
lieved of the painful neoessity and to save
his own baeon, left before day on an extra
car.
The fire in the town was extinguished by
our boys after the commissary stores were
destroyed, but we succeeded in saving all of
the medical stores and ammunition, both of
which were very large. We also secured the
depot and a train of cars, both of which
were well filled with provisions
The Yankees left behind all their knap-
saoks, a large quantity of arms which they
threw away, and lots of trinkets, which the
boys have been examining all day.
Having been on the march for 22 day3,
and all of the previous night, our General
“ Stonewall” allowed us to go into camp to
rest, but I guess we will be eff again in the
morning in pursuit of the Yankees.
In neither of the engagements we have not
had one«fourth, no, not one sixth of our
forces engaged, and I cannot see why the
enemy have fled in such confusion after eo
short a stand.
We recaptured a large number of stolen
negroes. The Yankees had married a num
ber of the women and were takiag them
home with them. I have seen some that re
fused to go, and others that had been forced
off at other times that had returned.
At Front Royal we captured 1,470 priso
ners, and eight or nine hundred at Winehes-
ter, and numbers from points north are being
hourly brought ia.
At Strasburg we took six pieces of artil
lery. w. W. H.
Tatlos’s Hotel, )
Wimchestkk, Va., May 28, ’62. j
This beautilul inland town has assumed
quite a lively appearance since we drove the
detested Yankees from its vicinity, and the
people are onoe more breathing the air of
freemen and not of slaves. To-day I heard
a lady say that she was once more free, and
the niggers were niggeri again.
Up to this time we have captured, and
have^n this place, between 8,000 and 4,000
prisoners, and I am told that 1100 more of
the Hessians have been captured near Har
per’s Ferry and Martinsburg.
We have now in this place 8,000 stand of
arms, taken since we entered Front Royal,
besides a number of pieces of artillery, to»
gether with the largest quantity of the best
ammunition of all grades that I have ever
beheld..
The medical stores captured are estimated
by the druggists of this place to be worth at
least $200,000. Among them are articles
very scarce iu the Confederacy aud much
needed by the government. We captured
500 pounds opium and 200 gallons castor oil,
both of which are greatly needed, and have
been shipped to the hospitals in Lynchburg.
To-day news wa* received that the Yan
kees had burnt the depot at Charlestown,
together with ail the stores.
A portion of the army moved this evening,
and it is reported that the balance will fol
low in the moruiDg. Their destination is
unknown, but the impression prevails that
they will not stop until the State of Mary,
land is free. God grant that it may be so.
During the sojourn of the Y’ankees in this
place the people were not allowed to com
municate with any one, either North or South,
without the letters being first scrutinized by
the Provost Marshal, and no Virginian who
would not take the oath of allegiance was
allowed to purchase goods from the North or
elsewhere ; but Y T ankee importers did all the
business, and upon our approach on Sunday
morning, left at double quick, leaving be
hind all the stocks of goods. Some few Jew*
were permitted to traffic who had the audac
ity to refuse our money for merchandize,
but old Stonewall has had them all arrested,
and their goods, like these of their Northern
friends, have been confiscated, and their
dens closed.
