Cobb'# Cavalry in Ibe Battle.
We have before u3 two letters, written by a
gcuticmr-D of this city, who is a member of
the Cavalry belonging to Cobb's Legion, to his
wife. One is dated 1st July, ct “Camp cenr
Richmond,” and the other “Near Richmond,”
4'fi. July. The letters are both vtry inu-rcst-
ing, and if our space would allow, we would
liy them before our renders. Tbo first de-
ecribes the part which the Cavalry of the Le
gion took in the fight for the first two days.—
He says: When I wrote you last, we had or
ders to be prepared for battle, and remained
several days in a state of suspense. On the
loth June, while on battalion drill, a courier
with a battio flag dashed into the field, rode
up to Coi. Cobb, and delivered him a dispatch.
We at once conjectured its meaning, and soon
cur conjectures were cCnfirrned Col. Cobb
told us to prepare three days’ rations of meat:
that we would be furnished crackers; anu not
to take our saddles off cur horses. The same
evening, about sunset, the buglers sounded the
signal for mounting. We rode about a mile,
waited till nearly dark, and then moved up the
Telegraph road ten or twelve miles, and turned
to the right towards Ashland. When we came
within a few miles of Ashland, I saw a great
number of camp fires, which confirmed the
rumors we bad heard for a day or two, that
Stonewall Jackson was earring down in the
rear of the enemy. It now became evident
that the great baule was impending. After
passing through a part of Jackson's camp, we
halted about two o’clock, the next morning,
tied our horses in line of battle, and slept by
them two or three hours. Early on the morn
ing oi the 2Clh, the army began to move—the
Cavalry brigade taking the left flank and mov
ing down the rear of the enemy. The Caval
ry under Gen. Stuart consisted of the 1st, 4th,
'Jtn and 10th Virginia Regiments, the Jeff Da
vis Legion, and our Legion We scoured the
country in every direction, capturing seme
pnsoners. and driving in the pickets in every
direction. Nothing of spscial importance oc
curred duriDg the day. We stopped at night
and-stood picket. *
The next day eponed with..aiurc
We were close upon the main body oi fne ene
my. We heard tho battle of Mechanicsville,
and heard occasional firing during the day.—
Wc proceeded slowly, because wc had to scour
tho country every whete. Our infantry advanc
ed faster on our right tea;, we did. It was a
magnificent spectacle. Every road was full of
soldiers—the cavalry alone having the appear
ance of a large army. At 11 o'clock wc heard
heavy-artillery firing. Fassing in sight of a
largo infantry force drawn up in the woods,
we proceeded to the left of the battle grounds
—the shells from me enemy’s batteries pass
ing over us.
About 12 o clock the battle began in earnest.
Vve remained drawn up iu a piece of pice woods,
listening to the incessant roar of musketrv and
the deafening discharges of artillery. The
bid«. oi battle waved to and fro for several
boars Ws had the greatest confidence in the
success of our troops, but the enemy fought
with the utmost desperation Wo were ordered
uu' to the field for the purpose ct making a
charge, but the charge was not ordered. The
cheering of our boys and the Just raised by
our bores attracted tho attention of one of tho
enemy's batteries, which favored us with a tew
rounds— several bails coming verj near Col.
Cobb and the head of our battalion.
About sunset oar squadron was ordered on
the field to charge a battery. Wc advanced
with a shout, cheered by our artillerymen as
we pas3ed them? This again attracted the at
tention ot the Uttery, and they turned their
fire upon us. We galiopcd about a half mile
under fire oi the battery, where we were stop
ped by a marsh. One of our batteries run
down close on our right, and after a desperate
fight of ten or fifteen minutes, drove ice ene-
mj’s battery off
These were the last guns fired n ih-> 27th.
lac next morning we continued our march in
the enemy's rear. As wc proceeded tfce ene
my fled, before us, burning their stores, of
which ifcey had great quantities. We captured
prisoners, wagons and horses as wc proceeded.
We went to the White House, where wore im
mense company and hospital stores, but they
were burned aud the place deserted before we
reached the place.
In consequences of sickness and constant ri
ding lor four days, I was exhausted and sent
beck *o camps. I am letter to duv, and will
be v;ell after a few days rest. Our cavalry
were go;~g tc New Kent Court House when I
left.”
in tee next letter he writes: “I know your

ladies of Tennessee meet the train and feed

ors 1
We hear that Coi. Forest, at Murfreesboro,
hung a scoundrel whose conduct has long since
justified it, and are also told that same indi
vidual has recently been through Georgia, hav
ing gathered up ail the Confederate notes he
could in Tennessee, at a low rate, and pur
chased a large amount of cotton, which is novy
within this State. We are further told, that
numbers of traitors and enemies have come
into the interior of the country, from New Or
leans, Memphis, Nashville, and all ether points
overrun by the 'Yankees, bringing all the Con
federate notes cat. of these places, and buying
cotton with i—:.t the same time being ilonieed
among us .j y-o, driven out irom their
homes- Now we & d all our people to be care
ful not to sell their cotton to enemies in dis
guise. It will be necessary to use great cau
tion, lest suspicion unjustly fall-upon friends,
who are true to us, and have been run out by
the Lincolnitee. But there is a waynf testing
every man’s fidelity to the South. Let this
test be applied, let every man be properly in
dorsed, before selling cotton to any one from
tbe enemy's lines: and let tLe authorities, the
meet a merited retribution, and that they are railroad agents, and the people, see tc it, that
to have a part in the contests which will de- j no a ian is permitted to remeve cotton, till it
cide the deliverance of fair Tennessee from I ean be satisfactorily shown that all is right,
abolition rule and pollution. And there is not j
out the year, not only nutricicus food, bat that
variety in diet which is so essential to health.
Our soldiers require something more to main
tain their maniy vigor than the salted meat
and badly cooked bread to which the necessi
ties of our beleagured land have long and^qT
ton reduced their diet A more savory and
varied dish, which ihe products ot cur soil
can bountifully furnish, would more effectu
ally keep our hospital's empty and our camps
from the languid, pallid victims of the blood-
destroying t.uriii, than physic and physicians.
The preservation of fruit can be superin
tended by our nobis women, whose glorious
devotion has already been recorded on the
pages sf parliamentary history by the afctval-
ric oeniumen of England. Let tr.em be in
formed that they could- thus aid to save the
lives of more braves in our camps, r.u! tfce
hearts of more mourners in our homes, than
are killed and wounded by the bullets •. f lew-
horn Yankees in a bloody battle, and :he:e
need be little fear that this season will witness
our fruits wastefully destroyed by the stock,
or prodigally rotting on the ground.
While loftier motives should prompt their
careful preservation, 1 am authorised to add
another inducement by Major John J Walker,
whose zeal and talent are now, fortunately for
our soldiers, devoted to them at the post of
Chief Commissary of this Department, where
energy, ability, end sympathy with Fullering,
are so much needed.
He gives his assurance that Le will prompt
ly purchase for our soldiers, at a fair and lib
eral price, all dried (cr otherwise preserved)
fruits and vegetables.
It is hoped that these views will meet with
your approbation, and will therefore be press
ed upon the public notice.
Very respectfully, your obed't servant.

one of them so craven hearted ns to say he
will fight no more. Since our arrival in Geor-
ha? been nliown our
wounded that their wants required. On touch
ing your city this morniDg, kind surgeons
dressed their wounds, and ever-vigilant ladies
ministered to their comfort. It was grievous
to many to find that we missed the connection
„n the railroad, but they will be strengthened
oy the day's quiet and con*ten, for the balance
of their journey. Tnere was only one point
at which missiDg tne connection was altogeth
er unnecessary—1 hat was at Bristol, Tennes
see. Some one toid us the cars from Lynch
burg had not made connection at Bristol for
several days Au extra train was, however,
prepared for tbo wounded, and the delay was
but short. «Gn asking the vonductor, I was
iniermeu ne had telegraphed to Jonesboro’ to
provide for our wounded, but arriving there,
we found no preparation. A passenger on the
train then telegraphed to Greenvilie, and when
tho train reached that point the abundance of
food distributed by the ladies, caused the poor
sufferers almost co forget their disappointment
at Jonesb rro’.
Tuere is one suggestion that perhaps ought
to be made to the ladies cn the railroads The
wounded may continue to come for several
days, ar.d it would bo better for them that they
should not be so freely supplied with the fruits
and berries of our Southern country, as they
are, in numbers cf cases, made sick by them.
And now, a soldier s wish lor the ladies who
have been so kind : may heaven grant that the
burdens ttr.d sorrows of this unholy war may
fall lightly upon their hearts and homes.

Cci. Morgan at Tompkin svliie.
The Knoxville Register of the loth contains
the following brief note from Col. Morgan's
comnaaiid :
Tompkinsville, Ki , July T; ’62.
Dear Sperry: We had an elegant little fight
this morning before breakfast, aud cleaned out
a Yankee encampment as completely as it
ever was done by ary one They had break
fast cooked, but had not time to eat it.
With their usual generosity, when acting
without previous caiculatio.v, they left us many
valuable trophies, such as watches, horses,
very little cash, abundance of provisions,
something to drink, blankets and huge piles of
ready-made clothing and Union stationery, and
last, but net least, quite a number cf their
carcasses—some “gone under” some a-going,
and others well and hearty.
The Register says it .... : ibe 7th P.-nnsyi-
VHOta Regiment, 270 men, commanded by
M j. Thcs.^lordan. The result of the victory
was, that the whole camp and stores fell into
.nr hands. 1 cn. Dung of tents, 100 head of
stock, norsec mules; eight wagons and
harness ; 100 carbines and rifles ; .a fine lot of
side arms, and a large quantity of ammuni
tion; a fins lot of provisions, clothing, Ste.
Owing to the locality, Col Morgan wa3com
pelled to burn a large portion of his spoils,
consisting of all the wagons but one, all the
tents, and 270 new Y'ank°s uniforms—tho
force having just been newly equipped, but
not yet having Lad time- to don their new ap
parel.
This 'Yankee force has lately Leer, maraud
ing in Fentresu and Overton counties, eommit-
ing depredations, and outrages.
We regret to learn that Col. Hunt, of the
Georgia cavalry, was accidentally wounded
verv seriously in the leg by one of his own
men.
Trsm Cumberland Cfap.
We are informed by a gentleman, who nns
just received a letter from C! at bourne county,
dated the 11th iost . that the Federal force
who were reported & few days ago as having
evacuated Cumberland Gap. are still there, but
have confined their marauding to the immedi
ate vicinity of the Gap. Mr. .las. Patt.-rson,
well-known a3 a staunch and wealthy Southern
man, has been the greatest cofferer. They
have stolen his negroes and stock, every pound
of bacon he had turned their < aralry horses
into his wheat fields to eat his wheal in the
shock, camped in his growing corn, utterly
destroying that crop, burned his fences, and
quartered their officers in his house. Mr. Pat
terson being an old man, wa; reluctant to flee
from his home on their approach, expecting
Lis grag hairs would protect him from outrage
and insult, but he miscalculated the character
of the inhuman wretches, and would now
gladly, could he escape from them, become a
homeless wanderer in his old age, rather than
endure their insolence and outrages. Our in
formant states that the invaders, fearing an
attack in their rear, by a Confederate force
from P'ound Gap, had dispatched a portion of
their cavalry towards Cumberland Ford, to
protect themselves from surprise. From this
we infer that they have been opening the
blockaded road in that direction.—Knoxville

Bathos-Fine Writing,
There 13 a great deal of fine writing among
the Yankee war correspondents, just now, to
make the “worse appear the better eau.-e.”—
As a specimen of bathos, read the following
from one cf them:
“ Two companies of one regiment stampeded.
Gen. Burns flung himself across the track,
waved his bullet-shattered hat. expostulated,
exhorted, entreated, threatened, imprecated,
under a storm cf lead, and at last, tbrowiug
his hat in agony of despair, upon tbe gtound,
begged them to rally cnee more, and preserve
them and him from disgrace. The last appeal
touched them. The men wheeled with alacri
ty, and fought like heroes until the carnage
ceased.”
When Euros melo-dramatically in rev: that
“bullet shattered hat upon the ground,” the
appeal w»e too much even fur stampeding
Yankees tc resist, and, to save him and them I
from the disgrace *of again throwing his old !
hat upon the ground in agony of despair, !
“the men wheeled with alacrity and fought |
like heroes,” from which it appears that if |
“there’s nothing in a name," there's virtue in [
un cli hat.—Missiesippian.

The Yankee Prisoner.—Major Jordan,
captured by Col. Morgan, at Tompkinsville,
and brought in yesterday evening by Captain
Eennett, was tho centre, of attraction to a
large crowd, as ce stood in front of Qarter-
mastff McElrath’s office, waiting to be dis
posed of ns the authorities might determine.
He is a tali, fine-looking Pennsylvanian, and
bore his situation with great nonchalance, j
puffing a pipe, and araiabiy answering ques- ;
tions put to him by the bystanders in regard ■
to the fight.. He spc-ai'-i in the highest terms
of Colonel Morgan- says he always knows j
what he is about, and that hie name is a ter- j

An Aefair at Tepelo.—We learn from a j
private letterffcat a brilliant little affair came [
off near Tupelo, between about 7,000 Yankees
and a force of Confederates, on the 4th inat
When tfce Yankees were first attacked by our
troops, they imagined that there, was only a
small handful, which they could easily dispose
of. They fought, therefore, with great fury
for a little while, tub finding we had a suffi
cient force to cope with them, they took to
their heels as usual. The entire force v;as ut
terly routed, with s loss, as we are informed,
of seme 200 killed and 500 wounded and pris
oners. Our loss was 20 killed and 50 wound
