•« IT 18 HOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE IS NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY/’—Patrick Een.y ir. the first Revolution.
Editorial Corretponicnoe,
Mobile, June 5, 18C2.
1 wrote last froni Memphis. Since then,
I have been “ falling back.” I left there on
the evening of the "1st, and arrived at Good
man, 50 miles above Jackson, on the New
Orleans, Jackson & Mississippi Central Rail
road, about 8 o’clock next morning—got
breakfast, hired an old buggy and a blind
horse, got directions to Attalaville, nine
miles east, where I arrived at 10 o’clock,
having traveled over a most approved cordu-
ra7 road—saw my man—got an excellent,
No. 1. brown cooked, good, old fashioned,
country dinner, served up in a style that
showed tfce family to be familiar with all the
luxuries and comforts of refined life.
On my return, I met a strange looking
trio, consisting of an egeJ Indian hunter,
an Indian lad, and a “Miss Indian” about
14 years of age, minus hoops, Bhoes, and
stockings. The party was accompanied by
seven dogs—had one ourly maple stocked
rifle, a bundlo of fishing tackle, and all were
loaded with bear, door, ’coon, and other wild
varmint skins, that would make John Hol
brook emile lovingly for a week. I learn
that in Leake county, Mississippi, there are
about GOO Indians, who still remain on the
hunting ground of their fathers, and live by
hunting and fishing, as did their ancestors
for centuries before them. A sure-enough
Indian is, now-a-days, a rare sight, and
awakens many reminiscences of border life
and wild remanlie incident. Having some
Ingin kin, the sight of this inoffensive party
did not make me as mad as the man I heard
of onoe who saw an Indian for the first time,
but it revived the memory of old times, when
the Indians were all over Cherokee, Georgia,
and were frequently at my father’s cabin in
DeKalb county, no great distance from the
bustling Railroad city of Atlanta. But I
mast not dwell upon the Indians.
1 got back to the Inn before uigbt—
found in the place two hundred and sixty
siok soldiers who I thought were better cared
for than at any plaoe I had seen. I met a
Mr. Browning, formerly of Newton county,
Qa., who had a son wounded at Shiloh and
was sent baok. The father set out from his
home in Tallapoosa county, Ala., to find his
boy. After a long search, be reached this
place only to learn that his youthful son had
been buried four days. How sad he looked
—how sad I felt.
At night I was further annoyed. A man
and a woman slept, or rather did not sleep
(in the next room), for the whole night
long they kept up a rare specimen of caudle*
ira, far surpassing any thing of the kind I
ever had iho misfortune to see or hear. I
concluded that If I had such a help meet as
that woman was, I’d—I’d—marry again, as
soon as she “ departed this life.”
Next morning I took the train for Jackson,
and arrived at Canton, 40 miles, just. In time
to miss the connection. Here I did the most
inexcusable and unaccountable act of my
life, for which I paid dearly, as the sequel
will show. Hearing, for the first time, of
the fight at Richmond, 1 left the depot, and
put cut up town about half a mile to hear
the news, and tee the dispatch. I went up
to the sanctum of our friend Bosworth, edi
tor of the Citisen, got to talking, like most
men who go into an editor’s room, stayed
too long, and the extra train whioh was fixed
up left before I could double quick to the
depot. Served me right! But oh, what a
day and Dight I experienced ! Hot broiling
sun, musquitoes, ssndflies, gnats, dirty ho>
tel, nothing to eat, bed harder than a brick,
sheets odorous with the perspiration of a
hrndred previous victims, sick man “throw
ing up ” on one side, soldier with measles
up in the corner, &c., fee.: and I had to stay
and take it all as a punishment for staying
too long in an editor’s room. I shall never
do so again, and I advise every body to profit
by my sad experience, and not be guilty of
the sin for which I suffered so severely.
Arrived at Jackson next morning at 10
o clock—saw Gen. Lovell : he is very much
the site and figuro cf Col. Harvey Thcmp.
son, intelligent prim looking man, about 40
years of age, and rather starchy and fixed
up for a working man. I saw Col. John B.
Clark cf Missouri, a member of the U. 8.
Housa of Representatives when things bust
ed up, and is now a member of the Confede
rate Congress; Gen. Duncan, the hero of
Fort Jackson, and in fact, lots of big guns.
Here I find large a amount of dissatisfaction
growing out of an order from the Quarter
master's Department ordering all the sugar
of non residents to be seiied. I alluded to
thi* order in my last. This most unjust and
iniqnitons order is said to have originated
with aa old New Orleans speculator, who
holds a high office under the goverment.— !
To understand it rightly, let us ok, at the
faots. Merchants from Virginia, the Caro-
Hnas, Georgia, Alabama and East Tennessee,
many of whom have contributed largely to
build the present and prospect ira railways j
making connect ions with the Mississippi j
Valley and New Orleans, have purchased j
sugar and syrap iu New Orleans, for their •
customers, the people at and contiguous to :
their homes. The Government, for military
purpoes, Lave been using anl controlling
these various roads, so th*t private freight
could not be got through, except by bribing 1
the Quartermaster to ship it as Government
freight, which wo learn has been done in
some instances. Merchants from reariy er*
ery city and town in the States sbove men
tioned have gone to Vicksburg. Memphis,
. and other points, and by great exertions and
heavy outlay, have got their groceries out
from the River at all points so *3 to be out
of reach of the en«*my.
The Government has large quantities oi
sugar already purchased and at safe points,
fully 29,000 hogsheads 1 learn. Now, through
the influence rtf a speculator-official, an or
der is issued to seize all the sugar bt long
ing to non-residents. This will inoiuda an
the sugar owned by merchants of every
State except Mississippi. Now why this
distinction? Why should the merchants of
Mississippi have a protection aad exemption
of thoir goods from seizure, over those of
other Slates ? The Government has a right
to seize private property lor public use,
when it is absolutely, and it oannot be had
by fair purchase, on payiig a just conipen-
sation for it; but it has no right to make
odious and unjust discriminations : neither
has it a right to seize property when it has
an abundance of its own.
This seiinre is contrary to every prinsi-
ple of justice, and deserves the condemna
tion of the people. Tito real meatiness of
this measure consists in this : Government
officials can, and are now, by their outside
agents, running round to the thoroughly
worn out and disheartened merchants who
are here, and have been so long looking af
ter their goods in vain, and buying them up
for mere song. Then it nominally becomes
the property of citizens of Mississippi—
though really owned by some Government
officials. Besides these, any number of
speculators—some who reside here, and
others who have improvised a citizenship—
are running round and buying up this sugar
and molasses. It then, being the property
of residents, and is not liable to seizure under
the order. This sugar and syrup thus bought
will be held for a high price, which will bo
obtained, and hundreds of thousands of dol
lars which enterprising merchants are justly
entitled to, will thus go into the pockets of
speculars, not entitled to a cent cf it, and
much of it into the pockets of corrupt Gov
ernment officials. I hope, for the sake of
justice and right, the Governors of the States
whose merchants are thus discriminated
against, will demand of the Confederate
Government an investigation of this matter,
and a rescinding of this iniquitous order.
The whole proceeding is unjust, unnecessa
ry, and calculated, if persisted in, to do in
calculable miaohief, as well as create a large
amount of dissatisfaction, unnecessarily.—
But I will return to my journey.
1 left Jackson at fi, P. M.—arrived at Me
ridian at 8 next morning—issed the con
nection again. The trains are literally
crowded wiih soldiers and passengers going
and coming in every direction. Every lit
tle town depot from Memphis to Mobile is
full of sick soldiers. Some really sick;
others have cannon fever, and are skulking
from their post. If the distinction could be
drawn, no punishment is too severe for men
who will take advantage of the humanity of
others to shield themselves from facing the
enemy in battle in this hour of their coun
try's peril.
Meridian is a small new town, dirty and
filthy in the extreme, it is where the Rail
road from Seluta, Alabama, to V'icksburg,
Mississippi, crosses the Mobile & Ohio Road.
Here I paid “ six bits ” for the privilege of
sitting down to a dirty table doth, and try
ing to drink some weak dreggy rye slop
in a coffee cup, and to eat some beef that
would imperil the tusks of a hound dog to
masticate.
Three gentlemen and myself shouldered
our baggage, got aboard a freight car, and
had the sweetest ride l ever yet experienced,
that is, sitting on a hogshead of sugar in a
car covered with dripping syrup.
We reached here at 8 o’clock—got a wash,
good supper, and a good night’s rest. This
morning I called at the Advertiser .j- Regis
ter office, and through the courtesy of the
proprietors, Messrs. Forsyth and Clark,
took a peep into their exchanges, but did
not stay as long as I did at Canton.
On returning to the Battle House, I
stumbled on three soldiers, sitting on the
steps of a barber shop—all intently engaged :
one reading the Coxfedebact, another smo
king, and the other eating goobers. As
they are all well known in Atlanta, I will
name them. They were Dan Pittman, Hoik
Glenn, and Henry Bankston. Their hides
are getting well tanned, and they say they
enjoy soldier life finely. Capt. Rhodes'
company, to which they belong, goes to-day
to Fort Gaines, 40 miles below Mobile. It
is the last outpost wo hold, and close to Pic
ayuEe Butler’s armies. Halk says they have
checked their knapsacks through to Fortress
Monroe, but will stay a few days at Fort
Gaines to take in coal, water, ice.
lYhile posting up the boys about Atlanta,
Dr. Willis Westmoreland came along, just
arrived from Columbus, Mississippi, where
he bad been on duty among the sick and
wounded. He is en rcuie to Atlanta. Frcm
a dispatch he learns that his accomplished
and patriotic wife is dangerously sick. May
ehebe spared many years yet, to receive the
gratitude of the thousands of soldiers, whose
sufferings she has done so much to alleviate

Nickszxck, Mar >n county, June 6, 1861.
Noticing in the prpees some inaccuracies
of distance in describing the toprgraphy of
Marylanijand relatingto Stonewall Jackson's
advance into that State, we take the liberty
as a Marylander and Baltimorean, well ac
quainted with iujhighways and byways, to
give the correct location and distance. Bal
timore, oau of the largest cities in the old
Uci>n, containing neatly 300,000 inhabitants,
is situated on toe Batapsce river, 12 milea
from its entrance into the noble Chesapeake
Bey. We will start on the Baltimore A Ohio
Railroad, running Wost, and having travel
ed 8 milea resell .he Roiay House, a lew kun-
dred rods beyond which the Washington
Brauttii Kviroad forks to the left front it,
missing tee beautiful stone bridge known as
the Thomas Viaduct. Keeping on the main
aiena we pass the Avalon Iron Works, 1 mile
beyond the Relay House, and after crossiug
anotner magnificent bripge. Patterson’s Via
duct, /each Ellicott's Miiis, 14 utiles from
Baltimore. At this place the road crosses the
turnpike from Baltimore to Frederick—dis
tance to Baltimore by this road about twelve
nci.es We will say nothing of bridges, 4c., but
pass by dykesvilio, Jii imies from Baltimore,
and Mount Airy 3tation, 4l miles to the Mo-
nocacy river; cross the bridge, and here we
aro at Frederick junction, 57 miles from Bal
timore. and 3 n lies by the branch r-ad to
Frederick City.
Frederick is next but one iu size to Balti
more (in Maryland), has a population of
about 8,003, and is a beauti ul town. We go
back to Monocacy and resume the railroad
to the Point of Books. 69 miles from Balti
more and 48 miles from Washington City.—
Tnence to Harper’s Ferry, 3 miles, where the
Potomac is crossed and the Winchester
Branch leads off through Virginia in a South
westerly direction. The main road proceeds
to the head of Elk branch, 9 miles ; thence
to Martinsburg, IS miles from Harper's Fer
ry; thence to Hancock, Md., 4U miles from
Harper’s Ferry. There are many bridges
large and small, and mountains and vallies
to’eross in this route. Taw Paw Ridge Tunnel,
30 miles from Hancock, is passed, and 2d
milea bring) us to the mountain city, Cum
berland.
Wc now go back to Baltimore, and by tura-
pikefhrough ElJieott's Mills reach Fredorick
by 4S miles hilly travel over a line road;
thence to Hagerstown, a smart old town of
4,000 people, 25 miles, from which place Wil
liamsport on tho Potomac is distant about 18
miles A road also goes to Cumberland, 179
milea from Baltimore.
From tho Relay House, 9 miles from Balti
more, by tho Washington railroad toAnnep-
olis Junction, is 18 miles; thence to Annap-
lis, 21 miles, and to Washington from Relay
House, 31 milea. From Washington toAlex-
andria, 7 miles, to Great Fails of Potomac,
14 miles; to Bladenahurg 6 miles, to Mount
Vernon 15 miles. From Winchester to Har-
por’s Ferry, 32 milss.
F rt McHenry ia on » peninsula opposife

known as Camden and Felt’* Pm sit. Fede

city on the same side ol the Basin rb the
Fort.
Baltimore is approached nr rail by the
Baltimore 4 Ohio, Baltimore 4 Pniiadelphis,
and Baltimore A Susquehanna roads, and by
numerous fine turnpikes ; contains many

Gen. Johnston’s Address to the Army.
The following address of Gen. Joseph E.
Johnston, commander of the army in front
of Richmond, was read to the troops under
his command several days previous to the
late battles of Saturday and Sunday last:
HEAr-QU’TF.BS DkPARTM’T NokTHKBX )
Virginia, May 29, 1862. /
The Commanding General has (he proud
satisfaction of announcing to the army an
other brilliant success won by the Bkill and
courage of our generals and troops in the
Valley. The combined divisions of Major-
Generals Jackson and Ewell, constituting a
portion of this army, and commanded by the
former, attacked and routed the Federal
forces under Major General Banks succes
sively at Front Royal, Middletown, and Win
chester, capturing several thousands of pris
oners and an immense quantity of ammuni
tion and stores of all descriptions.
••The Federal army has been dispersed
and ignotniniously driven from the Valley of
the Shenandoah, and those who have freed
the loyal citizens of that district by their
patriotic valour have again earned, as they
will receive, the lhanks of a grateful country.
“ In making this glorious announcement
on the eve of the memorable struggle about
to ensue, the commanding general dees not
deem it necessary to invoke the troops of this
army to emulate tbe deeds of their noble
comrades in the Valley. He feels already
assured of their determined purpose to make
illustrious in history the part they are soon
to act in the impending drama.
By cemmand of Gen Johnston.

A lady of Baltimore writes to a friend ia
this city (.where she is well known) a letter,
from which we are furnished the following
ex<raots, to show the spirit of the Baltimore
women. We trust they will soon be able to
welcome “Stonewall Jack” as a deliverer in

Baltimore, April, 1862.
dig Very Dear Friend: I have thought of
you very ofien of late, and more than ever
sdnee 1 heard your son wa3 in the
army. God bless the brave men who are
riBkicg their lives for the honor of our
Southern land! G i, my fris d ! is not this
civil war terrible indeed 1 When 1 think of
the valuable lives lost on our side I am over
powered. My whole hear; and soul are with
yon all in Mobile. It i* not my fault that 1
am not with you ia person as in spirit. That
devil iu human shape (Seward) give no passes
for the South, ana my domestic train is too
long to run tna blockade. Southerners have
a hard trial here, for they are kept under
by an iron rod. The hateful flags of the
Federal Government are flauauug in our
faces on ail occasions, and victories, most of
them imaginary and manufactured to keep
up tne spirits of the Yankee public, are cel
ebrated iu this Southern city by Gen. Dix’s
Hessians. This is galling enough. But
when a lew days ago "Old Aoe” recommend
ed prayer ana thauksgiving for Fedrral vic
tories over the Bonin, and our Episcopal
Bishop, who is nothing but a Northern abo
litionist, issued his orders that such prayers
should be used throughout tae diocese, well,
my friend, this was a little too much for
Southern nature to hear. We could not
stand such crucifixion cf the soul, so we let
the Rev. Bishop and his clergy read that
prayer to ernpiy pews. When three weeks
ago the Federais seut the prisoners they
took at ^inonesur to Baltimore for safe
keeping, secession ladies collected together
and sent cur countrymen everything ia the
world we could think of to tnuke them com-,
fortabie. I had the pleasure of helping to
pack a large covered wagon of new oiothing,
and sent them all kinds of eatables and sev
eral hundred dollars in money. The Fed
erais did not fancy such demonstrations, so
they soon moved tne dear fellows away from
our reach to a Northern bastile. I hear that
Seward was at our church to day. Well,
Seward had better go to church. The time
may come, even in this world, when South
ern men may make him answerable for all
the wrong he has done them and their coun
try.
We hear of nothing but disasters and de
feats to our cause, and although we know
they are greatly exaggerated by these North
ern wretches, still they make my heart sick.
My dsar friend, it is time now for every
man, woman and child in the Southern Con
federacy to be up aud doing. Encourage
your young men. Would to God my
boys were all old enough, I would buckle
on their swords with a mother’s God speed
and send them to do their utmost to drive
ihe ievadea from our homes. Tell your
housekeepers to strip their kitchens of all
their metal and give it to the Government
for gun and cannon balls. Let the church
bells go if they are needed. Our sex, my
friend, if they cannot fight, can a>d in many
ways. Now iB ths time to do it, for men’s
souls are being tried. You who oan talk so
well, so beautifully, will you not exert your
self to encourage and to console all who are
engaged or sufferin in the gooef cause ? Don’t
think I am idle. I do all I oan in this lati
tude. 1 am on the constant watch for our
prisoners, and whenever I hear of them,
food and clothes follow them Would to God
I could do more. You must guess who I am.
It is dangerous to write names, lost I should
soon find myself separated from my little
children. Adieu.
