‘IT IS NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE IS NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY/* Patrick Henry in the jirui Revolution.
A Retrospect- The Future,
it w beneficial to nations as well as Indi
viduals, occasionally to survey the ground
uround them, and see fiow they stand —
More than a year ago it became apparent to
evera true Southern man—no matter what
had been his previous political opinions or
affiliations—that the day had arrived when
it was necessary and an imperative duty to
“dissolve the ties” that bound ue to the
government of the United States. A new
and a better government was formed by our
legally constituted agents, after having sol
emnly passed acts severing us from the old
government 4 This government was unani
mously approved by our people : hence the
notion of our representatives was fully in
dorsed, and we were a unit—standing as one
man together on the great question.
For the exercise of this inalienable right,
the United States have seen fit to wage a
cruel and unjust war upon us, unparalleled
In the history of the oivilized world—show
ing that if we had no other oauae of com
plaint, we were justifiable in seceding from
them, upon the ground that they were unfit
to be our equal associates in a fiee govern
ment It is unparalleled for Ue fury, malig
nity, and its violation of every principle of
decency, as well as every principle upon
which the U. S. Government was founded.
The contest has assumed huge proportions
— far exceeding the calculations of both par
lies. But few anticipated each a bitter and
tearful contest. We had but little prepara
tion for such a mighty struggle. No Navy
either for commercial or war purposes, an
inadequate supply of arms, and but few ma
chine Bhops or master machinists. We have
teen and are mainly an agricultural people,
and were accustomed to look to the Northern
States fur almost every article of handicraft,
from the most ponderous machinery to an
axe helve or garden rake. Our hats, clothes,
shoes—almost everything was made iu the
North. Military training was at a low ebb
with us We commenced this war lacking
in almost everything in the line of military
supplies, and have-been by it, out off from
ten thousand of the comforts and neoessaries
of life. Our dependence was on the Strong
arms and brave hearts of our volunteers, and
the self-sacrificing, determined spirit and
patriotism of the men, women and children,
and the docility and faithfulness of the Blaves
at home.
Well: what has been done ? With all our
lacks and difficulties, we have organised two
great and powerful armies, put arms in their
hands, and fed and clothed them We have
met the enemy time and again, and upon
every oooasion, where we have had an open
neld and a fair chance, we have been victo
rious. There has been incompetenoy in the
field and in counsel. It was to be expected.
No people ever escaped it, and never will.—
Volunteers have eleoted incompetent men to
command them, and some have been ap
pointed by the President and Secretary of
War Wheu was it ever different in any
war, or in any country T Inoempetent and
drunken Captains, Colonels, Generals, and
Surgeons, have teen appointed, and the peo
ple have ohosen men to legislate for them
who dont understand their duties These
things are unavoidable yet, with ail these
impediments, we have succeeded most won
derfully—beyond a parallel, considering the
fearful odds against ns.
A number of these objectionable com
menders have been displaced , and we feel
sure that they all will b6, as fast as they
are found out and their plaoes can be sup
plied. The enemy Lave suffered from the
same cause to a greater extent than we have.
Some blunders in administration have been
committed, no doubt—some things done
wrong, and other important things neglect
ed , but who was ever perfect t and oonld
any man or set of men similarly situated,
nave done better y These questions are well
worth considering by all of us who are dis
posed to complain. Ordinary intellects can
point out errors and disoover defects in plans
after the attempt to execute them has made
them manifest Any sailor, with his charts
tefore him, can cross the Atlantic; but it
was a great thing for Columbus to uahe me
first voyage. No doubt he committed many
a blander in this attempt. Any engineer can
run a locomotive or a steamboat; but it was
a lung ume iu the history of the world be
fore steam was applied to land and water
navigation Any scribbler can criticise Mil-
ton, but who can produce the equal of
Paradise Lost 7
We give these illustration to enoourage
tte people to be patient and hopeful. Na
tions are like individuals ; they have their
moment of gloom and despandenoy Some
times we rise in ihe morning “ wrong side
up.” Things about the bou=e appear to be
in the wrong place, and all the surroundings
look like they arc- out ot order. Everything
a man loves, and that makes Hfe desirable—
h’s wife and children even -sometimes ap
pear annoying- But how sjou this seeling
passes away ' and how unreasonable and un-
jus' his past views and leeUoge appear when
he rciiects upon them soberly, when (ho e*
eiteineni has departed 1
do we often feel towards our officers and
those at the head o affairs At our stand
point, we cannot know the reasons for all
the movements«they make. Ihe ways o
Providence are often mysterious, and seem
harafi to a nuiic mind ; yet true Christian
philosophy teaches that ‘-He Joeth all things
well” and for the best.
Then whether our generals “fall back or
press forward, or move east, west, uorth, or
south, let us wait patieutly .or the fruits ot
their movements, and be slow to judge
harshly. Let us have one heart, one pur
pose, one hope. Let individual delinquencies
pass, and be charitable to those charged with
the management of cm atfaird as a mother
would bear with her offspring. Let u= do
any and all things to uphold and sustain our
young and struggling government; bear with
her faults, and encourage her to activity and
perseverance Let those in the army resolve
to conquer or die, and those at home to bus
tain the army with all of fortune and life ot
which they are possessed.
If we all do thus, a glorious future is be

Letter
From Lie .it. J. Edgar Thompson, vs th Georgia
Regiment, written to his Father, Dr. Joseph
Thompson, from tht battle Held of Chicknhcm-
iny.
Ba.rii.fc. Kiulu, June I, 1 b62.
Dem Father :
Hurriedly 1 write you a few Hues on Van
kee paper. We are now resting on a hard-
fought and dearly won battle field.
According to orders, we yesterday a teruoon
led off the attack against the enemy. Our
brigade, under Gen. Garland's command, was
the first to drive them lrotn their positions.
We entered the field immediately after the
first guns were fired. Our regiment carried
into the fight only about cf>!) men. We were
reduced to this by our hardships and suffer
ings. We had only one field officer predent—
Col. Warthen being siok in Richmond, and
Lieut. Col. Hall dead. We were under fire of
the enemy's guns till dark. We lost 130 men
and officers, killed and wounded.
Men fell un every sidb of uie, hut by »n
unaccountable provision of Providence 1 re
rnained untouched. Every horse except one,
belonging to our Field and Stall was shot
down I went over the field this morning
The ground is strewn with the dead bodies of
men and horses, stiil unburied. 1 counted
ten dead horsed in the space of thirty yards.
The Yankees fought well, oar brigade
suffered terribly. The bodies of dead Yan
kees lie all over the ground. Some of the
prisoners taken say they got along finely till
that regiment of sharpshooters (meaning
ours) drove them from their entrenchments;
so from their own accounts, our regiment did
terrible execution.
1 was with the regiment all through the
action. We left the battle field to. night, and
have resumed our previous position —for what
purpose I cannot say. I can give uo further
particulars now. I only write to let you
know that 1 am so far sate. Good bye.

The Fight on James Island.
Ihe Charleston Courier of the 12th test.,
contains the following addittunal, concerning
the conflict on James Island on Tuesday last:
The accounts of the fight given by partic
ipants. do not differ materially troin our
report of Tuesday, with the exception of
the casualties, which they estimate to be
sixty-Sve killed, wounded and missing —
This is believed to be (he number reported
officially.
The Forty-iSeventfi Georgia reduced by
sickness to about tbree hundred effeo. ive men,
went into this action with their brave and
intrepid leader. Col. Williams, against a force
of the enemy of at least two thousand, en
trenched and posted behind formidable
breatworks Owing to the nature of the
ground, it being a dense wood, our men sud
denly came upon the enemy’s entrenchments,
at a distance of but thirty five yards. Col.
Williams, however, wishing to dislodge the
foe, determined to make an assault and or
dered a charge.
The men rushed forward aud made a vig
orous attack upon the breastworks. The
enemy opened upon them a terrific cross fire,
of infantry, artillery, and cavalry, and shells
thrown from the gunboats. The regiment
fell back a moment, and again moved for
ward to another assault The fighting on
both sides was now desperate. Our men
were under a continuous and deadly fire, and
having expended their last itund of ammu
nition, the order to retreat was given. They
withdrew, leaving the dead and a number of
the more seriously wounded in the hands of
the enemy.
Oar reinforcements were not brought into
action, and the 47th sustained alone for sev
eral hours the fire of the heavy force iu
front of them. In this engagement Captain
Williams fell pierced by four Minnie balls,
while gallantly encouraging his men to the
second assault. Private J. S. Cone was also
killed almost at the same time, antf while in
close proximity to Capt. Williams.
We have net yet learned the unities of the
rest of the killed, wounded and missing.—
The wounds are mostly all from Minnie
balls. Some three or four are from pieces of
trees thrown down by shells, but not one, so
far as we could learn, by any of the shells
themselves.

This is the name of a vessel laden with

FROM A MEMBER OF CONGRESS.

HYMEXEAL.
The Lincoln government has demanded of j ^Mm?ng vi^y* When pur guns opened
England, the return of the vessel, her crew
and cargo, but the British government has
refused and has giveu protection the gallant
captain and his vessel.
We take the following aooount of the re-
captuie from the Charleston Mercury.
Late English papers give further and high-,
)y interesting particulars of the extraordi
nary recapture, by three iilen, of the British
ship Etuilie St. Pierre, from her Yankee cap
tors It seems, (it says) that a prize master,
assistant and orew, numbering sixteen in ail,
took possession of the St. Pierre, the ere?"
of which were transferred to the James Ad
gcr, with the exception of the oaptain, stew
ard, and cook. All, or nearly all of the
prize crew were marines, aud it wa9 for this
reason that Captain Wilson, bis steward, and
cook were retained on board the captured
ship, so that they might assist in navigating
her to port. The following is the captain’s
account of the bold stratagem by which he
regained possession of his vessel :
The captain states that the moment be wss
aware of the intention of leaving him on
board the Emilie St. Pierre, he came to the
determination that the vessel should not
be taken to Philadelphia, and resolved that
he would recapture her, if praclicable, and
bring her into an English port. He in
quired of the steward and cook whether
they would assist him in hiB efforts to rG-
take her ; one of them at once consented to
j do so, but the other deliberated upon his
conduct. Afterwards, however, he also
agreed to assist the master.
The captain invited Luut. Stone into the
cabin to prick upon the chart the vessel’s
position Lieut. Stone accompanied the cap
tain into the cabin : the door was closed,
and the cook and steward being also present.
Capt Wilson drew a belaying pin—he did
not take a pistol, as he was anxious to pre
vent any noise being created—and demand
ed that Lieut Stone should quietly consent
to a pair of irons being placed upon his
hands. In the presence of such a force, the
officer was compelled to submit to being
placed iu irons, and also to a gag being in
serted in his mouth. The master-prizeman
being then secured in his cabin, Capt. Wil
son returned ou deck, where he met three of
the prize crew, and one being a very power
ful lellow, he was doubtful as to his treats
ment of these men, who were still, in common
with the rest of the crew, in ignorance of
the proceedings below.
The captain turned over in his mind the
best means of effecting his object, and soon
came to a conclusion as to the best course to
be adopted in the emergency. The prize
master’s mate was asleep in the cabin on the
morning of the second day after the capture,
and be determined to secure him in the first
instance. The cook and steward were armed,
and were instructed by Capt. Wilson of the
course they were to adopt. Some cloth was
thrown over this officer’s head ; his arms
were seoured by Capt. Wilson, and irons
placed upon his hands; and he was also
prevented from creating suy alarm by a gag
being placed iu his ui m • . Capt. Wilson
returned to the de-k i.u, iu a familiar
manner, inquired from tfie master of the
prize crew, “ Well, Stone, what is the posi
tion of the ship?” The officer replied that
they were somewhere off Hatteras, and were
about to change the course
Capt. Wilson’s ready wit, however, soon
suggested an expedient. He ordered them
to go aft and get out of the scuttle a coil of
rigging, of which L : eut. Stone was repie-
sented as being In need. The three men,
suspecting nothiug, entered the ecuttle ; but
as soon as they were vvi bin, ihe hatch was
placed over the egress, and they were thus
imprisoned. In the meantime the forecastle
door had been fastened up, and in this man
ner the whole of the watch below was pre
vented from taking any part in the affray.
Still the other men of the prize crew were
unconscious of what was going on forward,
and the captain 9ent forward one of his men
to ask whether they would assist in naviga
ting the ship to a British port, as he was
determined that she should not go to Phila
delphia. One man consented to assist him ;
others, who refused, were placed with the
three men in the scuttle.
After the men on deok had been disposed
of in this manner, the watch below were
brought out of the forecastle one by one,
and interrogated as to whether or not they
would assist Capt. Wilson in navigating the
vessel. Three consented in the whole of
this coarse, but only one of these was a sail
or, the others being landsmen. In the course
ef a few dayB, however, two more of (he
prizemen expressed their willingness to as
sist Capt, Wilson; but one of the men was
afterwards confined in consequence of vio
lence. With this slender crew, Capt. Wilson
was compelled to navigate his ship to Liver
pool, and in the course of the voyage en
countered a furious gale, which broke the
tiller But in this • emergency, also, the
ingenuity of Capt, Wilson was equal to the
occasion ; the serious defect was remedied,
and the vessel was safely brought to Liver
pool
Soldiers’ Clothing.
The Richmond Whig of the 9th inst. say*
In concurrence with our suggestion of re
quiring the manufacture of soldiers’ cloth
ing, we publish the following practical sug
gestions of a gentleman of enlarged and of
ficial experience in the department to which
his plan refers.
PLAX FOE CLOTHING TH 8 CuXFE&XRATE ARMV.
1st. District the Confederate States, mak
ing two divisions to each Stale, assigning to
each a quartermaster, whose duty it shall be,
1st. To ascertain the production of mills,
tanneries, and manufactories of shoes in
each district.
‘Jd. To ascertain what amount of raw ma

Si. To ascertain what impediments exists
in the way of such manufacture by reason
of want of transportation for supplies, and
enrollment of operatives in the army.
The resources of the country having been
thus ascertained, let manufacturing estab

district, for the manufacture of clothing,

venient points for distribution to the army,
the supplies thus provided.
Egf Sea car New Terms
on the enemy at Front Royal, they had no
idea who was hammering at them, thinking
that Jackson was a hundred miles away from
them. They were completely surprised and
panic stricken by the suddenness ol the at
tack ; they surrendered to us by hundreds,
allowing all their stores cl every sort and in
the greatest qiranties to be captured, without,
an effort to defend or destroy them.
Banks was with the main body of his ar
my at Strashurg when we took Front Royal,
aud, alarmed by our guns, they abandoned
their works (which are quite extensive at that
point) and tell back towards Winchester.—
But before they had gotten half way old
Stonewall was upon them aud their retreat
became a rout.
Erom Middleton to Winchester, and from
thence to Martinsburg, the rush of the re
treating wretches is represented to have
been more ridiculously tarrible than that at
Manassas. Our batteries would open upon a
wagon in front of a train, knocking it over
in the road, and before those behind it could
stop their headway, they would come thun
dering dowu upon the ruins of the first wag
on, whilst other teams would be tumbling in
upon them so as to block up the road com
pletely, then Ashby’s cavalry would charge
upon the more forward of cavalry or ride
down the masses of disorganized inlantry,
and such a scene oi contusion and conflict as
they kept up for many miles you poisibiy
may imagine, hut 1 certainly cannot de
scribe.
Gl<j banka hehayed iu a meet cruel and
cowardly manner on this retreat. He was
accompanied by a crowd of Ucgioes whom he
was running off to Yankee land, and prefer
red to leave hie own wounded iu our hands
than to allow the negro women aud children
to be turned out of the wagons and have them
used lor the transportation of the sick and
suffering white soldiers of his own army.
At the first salvo of artillery he put sputa
to hie horse and distanced ail competitors in
the race irein the field. At Middleton he
slopped for a drink of water, aud was blub
bering like a baby bc.auso reinforcements
hod not been sent him,
To give you an ilea of the demoralization
of the Yankees on their way from Strasbuig,
I will only mentiou one fact:
In the ardor of the pursuit, Ashby had sep
arated himself from nia men aud had gotten
abreast of the Y'ankea column of cavalry
which was rushing down the turnpike.—
Alone he charged fioe hundred of them—dash
ed through their lino, firing his pistols right
and left as he did so—theu wheeling about
ha again charged through them and sum-
msned them to surrender. All who heard his
voioo at once obeyed, threw down their
arms, dismounted, and, at the word, squatted
as meekly as bo many mice upon the ground,
until some of cur men came up and took
charge tf them In one instance he took
thirty in his way. When our men would
charge tho Federal cavalry they would turn
ble off their horses, roil over, scream and
scramble to tho road side in the most amus
ing manner. But i cannot pretend to jot
down a hundredth part of the incidents of
this mo3t remarkable victory.
At Winchester, the enemy tried to make
a stand in the suburbs, but our boys drove
them pell-mell through the streets, and soon
beyond to Martinsburg.
Many were killed in the streets, and a re
markable feature cl the day was, than when
the tide of battle rolled towards the town,
glorious women ol Winchester turned out to
give relief to our wounded and exhausted
soldiers, and so regardless were they of dan
ger, that they were not deterred from their
pious duty by tho shot and shell which fell
around them. In the streets, our men had
to advance a guard to clear the women out of
the way for our platoons to deliver their 5re.
This, I am assured, was literally the case in
more instances than one.
We have taktn stores at Front Royal val
ued at $350,000. Here we have more than
$200,000 worth of medical stores, and an im
mense amount of other plunder. Tfie amount
of goods, stores, Ac , captured at Martinsburg,
is more than a million of dollars. Large
captures were also made at N. Mountain De
pot, Charlestown, Shepherdstown, Ac. There
are some three thousand prisoners—four thou
sand stand of arms—hundreds of fat cattle—
a full supply of sabres for Ashby’s cavalry—
some eight hundred horses—hundreds of
wagons, mules, and I know not what besides.
[We are happy to add, from the same author
ity, that all the spoils have been placed be
yond the reach of the enemy.—Ed.j In ad
dition to what we captured, there was quite
a destruction of property by the enemy. At
one point, I saw seventy wagons they had
drawn together to burn, but hadn’t time to
apply the fire

Operations in the Valley.
Our streets have abounded with rumors of
battles iu the Valley, derived mainly from
Lynobburg. They have proved to be without
solid foundation. The only facts that we
have been able to ascertain are as follows:
Jackson, threatened by heavy columns iu
front and flank, is retreating with his pris-i
oners up the Valley. Ewell is covering the
retreat, and in that capacity has had several
skirmishes with the enemy—nothing more.
Shields had got to Luray, far up on Jack
son’s flank, but was prevented from improv
ing his position by being unable to cross the
Shenandoah, the bridges of which, Jackson
had destroyed. The retreat of our army has
probably been successfully accomplished.—
A traveller from Lynchburg tells us that the
prisoners are expected in Lynchburg this
evening.
In one or the skirmishes above referred
to, there is too much reason la fear that the
gallant and invincible Tjurner Ashby wae
killed. Such news is al^4*tood to have
been received in official quarters here. From
Ashby’s impetuous courage aud disregard of
his own safety, we have no right to feel sur
prised at his fate ; but it is nevertheless a
deep affliction to our whole Confederacy ;
for there was not a country or a neighbor
hood within our limits that had not learned*
his fame, and exulted in his prowess and
heroism. If life is to measured by deeds,
then Ashby did not die young : for he had
crowded into his brief career performances
and labors and triumphs aud fame that a
gray-haired hero would De proud to claim as
the story of a long life. But it i9 neverthe
less very sad when one so young and so full
of promise, and so useful to his country,
could not have lived to win those higher
honors to which he was evidently destined.
A nation^mourns him—how many shall we
have to imitate his example and emulate his
fame?
In the skirmish at the close of which he r
fell, we captured twenty-five prisoners,
among them an English adventurer—he
claims to be a nobleman, whom Liaeoln had
made Colonel of Cavalry. His name is Sir
Percy Worden.—Richmond Enquire June 9.
