Roswxu., Monday, June 20—12 M.
1 have joat returned from our army in
front of Marietta and the extreme right,
i found our troops in fine apirits and fully
determined to “ whip the fight,” should
there began engagement where they npw
are. We (till hold the advantage of the
KenneaaV Mountain, but should it become
cry for lohori.-n to evacuate t’.a'
mountain, it would not afford the enemy
such a great advantage as is thought by
many, who do not know the geography of
the country. It ia certainly a very great
military advantage to* hold the mountain
and tha entire line, for there are no better
natural advantages this side the Chatta
hoochee than our present line possesses.
We yet occupy about the same line we
hare held for the put two clays.
,The rain 'has been incessant here, and
mod and cavalry stragglers teem to com
mand tha rear. A lady told me yesterday
that her only milch cow had been driven
off by some cavalry, who professed to be
acting under orders from Gen. Johnston
A gentleman, a citizen near the line, was
dismounted by a similar party taking his
bone and carrying it off. They gave him
a “script,” as they termed it, ofcoune en
tirely valueless. These are only instances
of what our own troops are doing in the
It.is conduct which* ought to be
looked after' by those in authority.
If onr Provost Marshal General of the
army would extend his guards further to
the rear, where those outrages are daily
being committed', be could strengthen our
army and punish those engaged in inch
depredations. -It is tooAwfulfo {hink of,
that while our brave men are lying in the
trenches, fighting' tor their homes and
liberties, soldiers straggling from the front,
—the very place where they ought to wish
to die—should be allowed to plunder and
< 'pilfer their homes and take what their
wives and littyi ones have to subsist upon.
I u,« iwcntiy seen a gentleman who
had the 4 honor of an interview with the
bogus Governor of Georgia, at Dalton, Hr.
Brown. Mr. Brown says that the execn
live office of the State will be where
“Joe's” is now—in Atlanta—by the 4th of
July. Wo think it likely to be nearer
Milledgeville, and where gratings are used
instead of glass. I understand that this
new Governor refuses to claim kin with
his Excellency, Joseph E. Brown.
We have received to-day's Confederacy,
and I assure you “Bill Arp’s” letter was
read with shouts 'and with “good," from
every tongue. “yoto.”

vain* ax a producing diatrict, and a source of
euppiie*, may be aatimitod from the extreme
waste consequent upon the ioea of thi* terri
tory.
Saoh being the case, it wai to hare beet#
expected that special attention woald have
been given by the Government. To foster
and prelect a people producing euppliei ao
vast would b* reasonable. To overlook such
is tercets would be an unaccountable blunder.
—a stupendous indifference on the part of
the Government. Such is out and out the
. Vbatarc the facte in the case* The
people have ao regular cow*tinted civil Gov
ernment; they have had none for month*.—
W* know of one case the moet flagrant.
Ia one Judicial District in Sait Teuneseeo
then) has been no Jadga and have been no
Courts ainoe some time in 1862. Daring that
time Bragg wa* in Micdla Tenneeaee. ' Irwaa
then our duty to travel over almost every part
of that Judicial District. Murder wa* oom-
mon; horse* were taken when and wherever
soldiers or other parties choose to appropria'e
them. O her stock was in th* same condi
tion.
From men of good social position, faithful
and true, who are privates and offioera in onr
armies, we have been told inch things were
common in all East Tennessee. If cavalry
went in they supplied themselves freely with
hones. We have been told halters were taken
down^n boxes for that purpose. This fact we
do not 'know, bat oar own eye* hsvs seen
many of th* horse* go bsok—not a few soldiers
haring gone eastward from East Tennessee
leading horses. Those foldiore were in “East
Tennessee, the lend of toriea”—why should
they not take, ns* and consume whatever they
coaid find? v ' •*
All parties forgot that East Tennessee, some
few oonnties exeepted, has sent as many men
aoeerding to population as any part of the
death, and that as a’Btate she has had more
men in the field than any oi those States boil-,
ing oror with secession—even more than tha
ptoad Old Dominion. If these men are not in
the field how, it is tb* fault of the Govern
meat. The whole State has been given ap'sll
around to the aetnal tine. Two pitahed b\t :
ties or three at moet, have been fonght for
the 8tale, and after thete, with many’insig’
nificant skirmishes, the'country has been
qnicUy evacuated. “Fall back, fall back,”
has been the order, till aow‘the Volunteer
8tatolies s wrick. She has no Governor, no
Court*, ao law; her old men are murdered by
iln bancs because their £ons sleep 4 at
Vicksburg, Corinth and ghiloh, hr* ar * n® 4 *
fighting in front of Atlanta or at Stannion —
Her women and children are starved, plun
dered and abated by outrages mors than «av

Why shonld these things bs so ? Har* wa
no rights as other people ih the Confederacy!
Have ws not ss true and (faring men in the field,
and as gifted men in th* rounsils &a other*!.

or shattered fragments; the immense droves,,

Victoria and her Servants.—The London cor
respondent of the Inverness Courier, writing
on the joyous event at Frogmoris, says:
Her Majesty’s arrival at the Caatle was as
little expected as the arrival of her grandson
in the world; and there was about aa mueh
difficulty in providing fer her reception.—
There fa perhaps no lady in the land worse at
tended to by her servant* than-the Queen. A
few years ago her plate was stolen, because
of all the swarm of servants at Buckingham
palace it did not comport with tha dignity of
any of them to acoompany Its removal from
the palaoe to Paddington Station. The plate
chest was handed over to two blrod carters,
who on their way, went into a public house
for a drop of beer, and on coming out gaped
with wonderment to find their precious enarge
had vanished.
About a couple of years ago I went over
Windsor Castle only a day or two after t)je
Queen bffd left for Osborn, qhow-roons
were all in high order, bat I found my way
down to the ^itohen, and there it was disgust
ing to see the dirt, discomfort, and neglect
that abounded. The store* were unpolished,
the ashes lying thiok before the grate, the
cooking utensils fast eating np with rust. I
was not, therefore, surprised to learn that
when the Qaeen visited her own Castle^n Saw
nrdty, she found everything in a state of on-
readiness and disorder, juet as we are accus
tomed to read of, in the hannt*d hopes* that
Mrs. Badcliffa delighted to describe, bat which
was hardly to be expected in a royal palaoe
and in real life. Her Majesty was probably
loo happy ca.thla occasion to attend to those
d eoemforie, bat Sir Charles Phipps ought to
look better after hl» royal mistress’ interest.
The Bair,—A artiole, indicative of no small
researoh and of interest to aU readerr; is foond
in the following: -
The quality and color of the hair was a sub
ject of speculative theory among tho apo.ients.
Lank hair was considered indioativ* of ptdil-
lamity apd cowardice; yet tho held of Napo
leon was guiltless of a curl. Frizzly hair was
thought an indication of coarseness and clum
siness. The hair most In esteem was that ter
minating in fine ringlets. Dares, the historian,
states that Aohilles and Ajax and Telamon had
earling locks; saoh also was ihehair of Timon,'
the Athenian. A* to the Emperor Augustus,
nature had favored him with such redundant
looks that no hairdresser in Borne coaid pro.,
dues the tike.
Aubarn or light brown hair was thought
the most distinguished, as portending intelli
gence, industry, and a peaceable disposition,
as .well as great susceptibility to the tender
passion. Oastor and Pollux had brown hair,
aoalso bad Menelans. Blaok hair doe* not
appear to have been mnch esteemed by the
Romans; bat red was *n object of aversion.
Ages before the time of Judas, fed hair was
thought to be a mark of reprrobation, both in
the ease of Typhon who deprived his brother
of the sceptre of Egypt, and Nebnchsdneszar,
who acquired it in expiation of his atrocities.
Even the donkey tribe suffered firom this ill-
omened visitation, according to the proverb
ef ’wicked as a red asfl.” Asses in tbet eoler
were held in tnoh detestation among the Copu
that every year they sacrificed one by hurl
ing it from a high wati.
A Fatal Prise Fight.—Qur reader* will re

fight at Sanwich a. year ago. We announced
not long since that a fight had been arranged,

of Philadelphia. Teasot fa a Frenchman, and

tittle town near the Grand Trank road, about
500 milea irom thia city. The day tSka anowy
and nnpleaaant, bat a large crowd assembled to
witnee* the fight, which lasted altogether nine
hnnra. fifty-six rofind being fonght. Roth men
were knocked down and blood drawn on each
on the firat round. It was fought with the
greatest spirit and determination thronghont
one or the other being; knocked down on each
ronnd On the last round, aa tha ground was
anowy and slippery, Tesaot’s foot slipped, and
he came down on bis knees. Cibloni immedi
ately caught him around tb* neck and choked
him. Teasot, by a desperate effort, raised him
self, and hurled Cibloai oa his back, plating hfa
knee upon Cibloni’a breast, crushing it com
p'etely, and struck him fire blows in the face,
battering it to one bleeding, shapeless mass.—

quarters and three pieeer of artillery.
Qn Sunday, the 12<h but., Generals Hamp
ton and Fits Lee, having united their divis
ions, the fighting again eommenoed, lasting
from noon nntil nine o’olock at night. The
enemy charged onr hastily constructed breast
works three times and were as often repulsed
with heavy loss. We drove them from th*

At midnight, the enemy commenced retreat

They left 87 wonnded and six dead U the

C. S. Steamer Alabama.^ ’fa
Tha Nary Department tat received a very
interacting dispatch from Capt. K. Scmmes,
of the Confederate-State* Steamer Alabama.—
It -fa dated “Table B»y, March 21st,” and
giv«* an acoonnt of the operations of the
steamer subsequent to her departure fronj
Singapore, on the 24th of December test.—
We extract the following, which will be grati
fying to all who' desire an authentie accennt
of the erniilngt of our heroes of the sees:
From Singspore, which is at the Southern
extremity of Maiaoca, the Alabama tailed
north west through tho straits of Malacca,
thenea across the b£y of Ringal, and thence
tocap. Town by way of Mozambique Chan-
On her first day’* run she overhauled the
Yankee ship “Texan Bter,” but then sailing
under -the assume i name of “Martaban,” and
nnder English eolors and register. The as
sumption of British colors was entirely fraud
ulent, ae tbo matter subsequently confessed
in hie deposition. Th* Martaban was aeeosd-
ingly burned, and her erew-landed the next
day at the little town of Malacca.
Pursuing hfa _ count, Captain Somme* on
tb* 26th captured and burned th* enemy’s
ships Sonora and Highlander near the mouth
of th* 8lrai(t. To save time and trouble the
prisoners wpre allowed to depart in their own
boat*. The ran aeros* the Bay of Bengal
yielded nothing, no Yankee sail being des
cried ; bnt after ]>a*«iDg Cape Comorin and
arriving off the Malabar ooait, the ship Em
ma Jano on the Hth of January fall into onr
hands, and the flames. The prisoners war*
landed at a town on‘the coast.
Light winds made a slow sail thense to
Moxambiqtis Channel, where the Alabama
arrived about the middle of February. Capt.
Semmea alopped at fu island there for six
days to refresh hfa men aad give them a ran
on shore.
Betting Ufakoe,,on the 11th of March he
ghted the Cape of Good Hope; and after
ngently cruising in tha neighborhood until
the 20th without teeing an enemy’s ship, he
•teemed into port at Cape-Town. It would
eeem remarkable that not a Yankee vessel
was seen rounding th* Cape, although Capt.
Semmes kept himself in the nsnsl track of
orinmerce, and overhauled a large number of
neutral vessels. The Yankees have either
abandoned those seas or seek 'eccentric
oourees, and tteer wide of the Cape.
The enemy has no war vessel at the Cape,
and only one, the Mohican, has visited Cspe
Town since the Vanderbilt was there.

The following extract from the Singapore
Times, December 9,18C8,glTe* a grephio and
rather lndlorotu picture of the effect of the
Alabam’e cruising on the movements and the
norvjgof tha Yankee soa captains:
“From onr to-day’s shipping list, it will be
seen that there are no fewer than seventeen
American merchantmen at^iroseat in our har
bor, and that they inolude some cf the largest
ehipe at present riding there. Their grots ton
nage may be roughly set down at 12,000 tons.
Some of these have been lying here now far
upwards of three months, and most of them
for at least half that period. And aU this at
a lime when there is no dullness in th* freight
market; bnt, on the contrary, aa active de
mand for tonnage, to aU parte of the world.
It is, indeed, tons a home-picture-the only
one we trnstto have for many years to come—
of ths wide-spread evils ol war in theee mod
ern days. But it a plalnre quite ia ite nstnrr;
tor tho nation to which these uvsnteea fine
ships belong has a navy perhaps ascend only
to that of Ursat Britain, and the enemy with
whioh she has to cope is bat a sohism from
herself, possessed of no port that is not block
aded, and owning not mere than five or six
▼esseieonthe high seas; and yet there is no
apathy, aad nothing to blame oa the part of
the United States navy. The tsetloe with
which the Federal* have to combat are without
precedent, and the means to enable three suc
cessfully to do so hava not been devised.'
