January Ist, 1862 ts. For the Ydvocate. , ''Camp Brown, March. sth, 18Q2. Mr. Editor :—As you have never, I ’ believe, received a communication from • i this division of the army, it may,, per haps, be interesting’ tn. soin ? of your I ■ readers to hear n word from the “boys on the coast.” I cannot, however, en tertain them with glowing descriptions of hard fought battles, or of the achiev ments cf any grqat victories, but I can i tell them that web are sti'l here with ready hands and willing hearts to strike for our altars and our liberties. Our Brigade (the 22nd) is at present encamped in a cotton field about two mi ■ - freat Snvannab, q n eminence commanding a full view of the city and river, and in all respects it is what might be called a beautiful situation.— i Hit should'never be our fortune to meet : the enemy in battle, .that we might have our names recorded in our conn'- try’s history, it. cannot, nevertheless, be said that we have not made our mark as ihe numerous camping- grounds that we have cleared up, and the entrench ; ments and fortificati ns that are now being completed, will abundantly testi fy. I think I can safely say that if our Brigade, as done no actual fighting, it has done as much work ilkthe right place, as any other in the skmc length* of time, now in service. Had we corne here at first and erected there works, together with other defensive prepara tions that might have been mr.de, the city of Savannah could be successfully defended with a comparatively small jorce ; wljile instead of being thus en gaged, we wore moving from place to place, building commissary houses and hospitals, to be occupied only by bats and.jß|®ls»«. I do not pretend to deny, howevof, but what all tlrs as we w’ere filling orcie's frotn head quarters, and as I do not claim a posi tion nbot e tliat-of "high pl iyate” , course, do not question the acts and doings of my superiors. I am sorry that it is not in my power to give you any news relative to our future movements, as we are "glorious ly ignorant” of all plans that may be forming until we are called upon to execute thorn. The enemies fleet are s ill lying in sight of Fort Jackson,but when they intend to make a forward movement will require some one more gifted with prophecy than I, to say— bat .hat they do intend to attack Sa vannah some day or other is not ques- I tioned by any one. When the attack is made you will be apt to hear a good account from the “Rowland Guards,” one among the best com panies that can be found on the coast defence. It is an old saying’, and no doubt a true one that “every’ crow thinks its own young ones the whitest,’’and I being .-> member of this company, may be accused of the same disposition ; but <o any one acquainted wit; the discipi.n -by which it is governed, with the officers who command it, and the men who compose it, they will not deny the truth ot the assertion I have made. This company is m ; np witn men principally from Cobb county, and is commanded by Capt Robt. 11. Rowland from for nierly Cass now Bartow county. Capt Rowland is a young man of rare abili ties and military acquirements, being possessed with all the qualifications for a soldier and a gentleman. There are few men, althoug-h they may be his senior in years, that are possessed with the same discretion and firmness, and at the same thru: so geutle and kind hearted—such qualifications are rarely to be found,in a comm .Hiding’ officer.— Capt. Rowland is destined to make his mark high ;:p in the annals of our coun try’s history. Our Ist i lent, is also a military man with souk 1 exneriei'Ce, and a clever gentleman. He, too, hails from Bartow county, and Las been in military service before. Ail the boys love Lieut. Sprouls, Licutei ants J. T. Alexander and Wm. 0. Watson are from your county, ami are well known to your readers—suffice it to say that they arc as clever in campas as they are around their own hospitable boards at home. So much for the officers of the “Rowland Guards.” The men, I arn proud to say, are worthy of such officers —they are, for the most part willing and obedient soldiers—it is seldom that any of them arc called to aecmint for disobedience. It is just such a compa ny, upon the while, as old Cobb may well be proud of, and although the term VOL. XIX—NO. 10. of our enlistment will soon have expir* ed, there is not a man of this company but what will again enlist "fcr the war,” as soon as an opportunity presents it ■ self. Old Cobb has acted her part nobly in our present slrnggle lor independ ence, but never has thereeminated from’ within her borders a company of men possessed with more true, genuine' “soldierly metal” than that of the Rowland Guards.” The weather for the last week has l rendeted it very disagreeable in camps. There has been an abundance of rain, accompanied with high winds, which' play saikhavoc with tents, frying pans, tin plates, and in tact camp fixtures in general. Cooking is almost out of th(r question ; but as they say that the giz zard is the place to carry sand, we cook and eat sand and all. The health of our company has been remarkably good all the time, in fact there has been but very" few cases of actual sickness since we' left home, except those who had the measles. There has not been a single' death in the company - something rath er remarkable in so large a company, aial iw a climate that they were totally unused so. If we should continue to be blessed with such uninterrupted health until our time expires, you may expect to see the best looking company that you have seen since the war began. I have already written more 'han it was my intention to write when I began but "what I have written, I have writ ten,” and I s&ppc se it will have to re main written. My object w’as merely to let our friends at home know that we 1 were still on the globe, and that there was still such a company in ths service of the country as the "Rowland Guards.” More anon. A. W. R. Exchange of Priaoners, The Washington National InUjiiaen the! 18tli instant, following m relation to the mission of the late Commissioners appointed by the United States Government, to visit the prisons in the South: The Hon. Hamilton Fish'iand the Rev. Bishop Ames have returned to Wash- , ington, and it is stated, made a report to the Government respecting their mission to relieve Union prisoners in' the South. They repaired to Fortress Monroe and made known their commis sion to the Confederate authorities at Norfolk, by whom the matter was re ferred to Richmend.. A reply came refusing to the Commissioners admis sion to the Confederate territory, but expressing readiness to negotiate for the general exchange of prisoners.— Our Commissioners opened nego’ia* tions w hich resulted in perfect success. An equal exchange was agreed on, but the Confederates had three hundred more prisoners than our Government; but, with commendable magnanimity, they proposed to release those-also on parole if our Government would agree to release three hundred of their men that might hereafter fall into our hand. 4 This noble commission of Secretary Stanton, Iherefore, has its ample re ward. A general “ja 1 delivery” of our soldiers will occur throughout the South and they will soon be rejoicing in lib erty regained. Since the close ot this negotiate m with their offer to give lib city to those surplus three hundred Union soldiers, the Confedeiates have had a reveiso, and thousands ot prisoners at Roanoke fsland and Fort Dbnelson. The question is, shall wo be like magnanimous and give up on parole the surplus we now have. — A MODKST j.'he Register & Advertiser of Mobile begins a leader with the following mod est disclaimer: “By the exercise of nfl lit tle humility we force ourself to confess that though we arc an editor we doubt if we know be'ter how to conduct military ulTairw th m oirr Generals in thel'n-ld, and ques tion wether wo could have navigated the ship <>f State more successfully than Jeff.
