To the Editor op the Macon Telegraph—
fort Sir: way of passing off a few
ganotonous moments of a camp life in Vir>
pnii, I take the privilege of giving you a few
jottings in relation to thg last tight of Frcdcr-
iebburg, and tbq indications of present move
nts, In regard to the fight, I will confine
gjseif entirely to such facts as came under my
iamooiatc observation, while in relation to fu-
ure plans and purposes I cannot say much,
eving to the discreetness of our commanding
Genera! in keeping such to himself, which un
joabteoly is the wisest' policy.

belching forth from a line of batteries on the
Kistirts ot the town, (which the Tanks had

ace to hold.

BREAD—BRAGG’S ARMY—CROAKERS—
revivals, . *
Mr. Clisby :—On tho 18th inst. I left our
qniet and pleasant town and moved in the di
rection of “ Old Rosy”—via Atlanta, Chatta
nooga, and Tullahoma.. My'object was to visit
Bragg’s army, cheer tho soldiers, and study
-the forces and fortunes ot our young and strag
gling Confederacy.
1 have returned • and while a kind Provi
dence is reinforcing our thirsty fields, I have
concluded to pen a few facts and impressions
lor tho edification and encouragement of your
numerous patrons.
My first thought is on bread, and I am al
most tempted to differ with* Webster and ar
range it under the head of facts. It is true,
that “ man shall not live by bread aloneit is
equally true that “in the sweat of the face we
shall eat breadand the oft-repeated question
“hpw are the crops?” is now invested with a
hundred fold interest This department rev
cognizes no exempts—all classes, complexions
and professions are virtually interested. The
crops shall say whether we shall bo freemen or
slaves —whether we shall relieve tho wants of
those widowed and orphaned by this cruel war
or only say, “Depart in peace, be ye warmed
and*filled”—whether Christianity and civiliza
tion shall maintain their present status or fall
back into tno night of heathenism and barbar
ism—to be rescued, perchance, at the expira
tion of a hundred years.
Now for the point. Personal’observation
ored" south of the Tennessee line. Above this,
as might bo-expected in a country threatened
by large armies, a general indifference appears
to have paralyzed tho public hand, fields are
unmarked, and many farms will not more
than support their tenants. These thmg3 arc
written- not to discourage ■ but to stimulate
Georgians tt> a study of their responsibility,
to turn from the paths of speculation, enter
their fields, plant every available acre, produce
and husband everything essential to Southern
safety and salvation.. I am happy to add that
Merriwether is doing her duty, and her very
exb nsivc “wheat crop is as good as the land
can mako.” Our citizens are enterprising and
patriotic—ready to lay their offerings on the
altar of Southern independence. Occasionally
we-hear of some who remind us of tho men of
Gavada, who loved their swine bettor than
their Saviour. - - -
Your readers will be glad to learn that
Bragg’s army is in a fine condition—sufficient
ly strong to resist an avaUnchc ofuno hundred
thousand hireling buccaneers. The troops aro
healthy, well clothed, well provisioned and
well satisfied. A remark of Cap.t. H, of Hous
ton, struck mo, with peculiar force. It .was this:
“AU the life is >n'the army.” .Mr. Edito.% if
you have any croakers or hypochondriacs
about Macon —persons always murmuriDg,
saying “ times look very dark,’’ “ don’t know
what will become of us,” “fear wo will be sub
jugated’’-—do recommend a trip to tho army.
Should they discard your advice, let the City
Council send them. It-will pay.
Although this letter is already too long, I
cannot close without speaking of the. revival
now in progress in Bragg’s army. On Thurs-
night I preached at Wartrace to a portion of
Gen. Polk's brigade. A death-like stillness
pervaded tho large and interesting audience,
and at the close of service about seventy pre •
sented themselves for prayer, five were con
verted, and the singing and rcjoicingsurpassed
anything I had ever witnessed in Georgia. And
the best of it ij, tho work is pervading the
entire army. Verily, God is making them in-
rincible. Troops that can say with our de
parted Jackson, “ let ns cross over the river
andrest undertbe 6had<\”i:inn l»u conquered.
A brighter day is dawning upon us-.-a glorious
destiny awaits us. Are wo prepared for it?
Let our diligence, patience, humiliation and
prayers answer in the-affirmative.
Yours in hopo, J- B. M.

ADDITIONAL FROM THE NORTH.
Wo continue our extracts from Northom
papers of the 26th of May, which will be found
interesting:
vallandighasi’s arrival at hurfreesboro**—
- HIS RECEPTION.
Mr. Vallandigham arrived at Murfreesboro’
about 11 o’clock on Sunday night by special
train. The following despatches describe his
reception :
llis arrival-was expected by tho military and
public, but, the time not being known, no de
monstration of any kind took place.
Ho was quietly taken in a carriage to tho
quarters of Major Wiles, Provost Marshal Gen
era!, where he was received by General Roso-
cranz and a number of other qfficers^.jjkiiicu
from the expression of any disagreeable senti
ments.
At 2 o’clock P^SL, his southward journey
commenced, Major Niles, with a mounted es
cort, started down to tako him below our lines
in Shelby ville. Tho prisonor was very cheer
ful, and discussed his situation indifferently;
but on approaching the nearest rebel picket,
commanded j>y Col. Webb, of the 8th Alabama,
some eight aides out, he became perceptibly
affected. .
Upon taking leave of his companions, ho said
in substance: “I am a citizen ot the United
States, and loyal to them. 1 want yon to un
derstand that you have been a prisoner to the
Confederate authorities.”
To Colonel Webb he made similar remarks.
Tho former received him with a remark that
ho had read his speeches, hut did not like him;
that ho could not receivo him within tho Con
federate lines, but ho would permit him to re
main at his post until ho had ascertained the
pleasure of tho authorities.
The flag of truce party then left Vallandig
ham and returned. Vallandigham’s speech
was a very ingenious stratagem, by' which he
expected to prevent bis reception by tho Con
federate . authorities, and secure himself the
credit of martyrdom as a presecutcd loyalist.
I deem it more than probable than in the
face of the antagonism to .tho South he as ;
suined tho enemy will refuse to receivo him.
He was givon to understand by General Roae-
cranz that, should he arrange to return to our
lines in the same way, the President’s orders
to carry his original sentence' into effect would
bo executed. • !
Murfreesbtro’, May 25,1863.—0. L. Val
landigham was received hero on an extra train
from Nashvillo, between ten and eleven o'clock
last night After some hours’ conversation
with General Rosecranz and others, he was
put in an open spring wagon, and escorted by
a squadron of cavalry to tho outposts, and at
nine A. M., today, was delivered into the
hands of the authorities. A. single private
soldier received him, to whom ho mado tho
following declaration: “ I am a citizen of the
State of Ohio and of tho United States. I am
hero by force, and against my will. I there -
fore surrender myself - to you as a prisoner of
war.” ”
New York, May 26.—Tho Tribune’s Mur
freesboro’ dispatch soys that Mr. Vallandig-
bam declares himself‘to bo loyal to the United
Slates. The correspondent deems it probable
that the enemy will refuse to receive him.—
He was given to understand by General Rose-,
cranz that should he again return to our lines
the President’s order to carry the original sen
tenco into effect will be executed.
Cincinnati, May 26.—Mr. Valiandigliam
was delivered to the rebel authorities south of
General Rosocranz’s lines yesterday.
AFFAIRS NEAR VICKSBUKO—COMMENTS OF TnE
■ - NEW YORK HERALD.
The Herald editorially says Haine’s Bluff is
tho key to tho wholo position and holding it
Grant can get supplies and troops, it he needs
them through the mouth of the Yazoo, so that
if ho’had not Sufficient force to capture Vicks
burg, ho could hold Haine’s Bluff till he could
get "such reinforcements as would render, its
speedy reduction a matter of certainty. Should
the news bo confirmed tho moral and military
effect on the rebels will be tremendous. It-
would break up the enterprise of tho invasion
of Kentucky and compel the rebels to compact
their lines and they will endeavor to contract
all their forces in Virginia for an advance on
Washington to restore the equilibrium they
have lost The dispersed insurgent forces will
retreat to Bragg’s army. Rosen cranz ought to
strike before the junction can be effected, and
Hooker press Leo beforo he can be reinforced
by tho remnant of Bragg’s army retreating
from Tennessee. Tho failure of Halleok to fol
low up the capture of Fort' Donelson is cited
as an instance of tho-serious disasters that will
follow the capture of Vicksburg, ft it is not
followed up by quickly repeated blowa In
recovering the Mississippi, a base of operations'
lor further aggressivo movements East »nd
West will lie secured and the chimerical ideas
of purchasing its free navigation by capitula
tion to Jeff Davis and a coalition with the
Northwestern States settled in favor of tho
Union.
•Ji'hc Herald's financial articlosays: the chief
topic of conversation in mercantile circles has
been tho commercial effects of the capturo of
Vicksburg and the re-opening of the Missis
sippi. It is pretty difficult yet to determine
anything on the point with certainty, as much
will depend on' tho government relations re
specting trade, tho extent to which tho confis-
cation act is to be carried out, tho willingness
or unwillingness of tho rebel planters to ro-
sumo commercial relations with us and other
similar considerations. At present no mer
chandize of any kind can bo sent South of
Cairo without a special permit from tho Treas
ury Department, which is very rarely granted,
Government may, (though it is not very like
ly,) relax this regulation so as to allow pro-
dum and merchandize to be sent to tho rebels
in Mississippi and Louisiana, whilo thev con
tinue to fight us in Virginia. In that case as
much of both would go as could find a market,
vessels to carry it, and money to pay for it.
With regard to the market which now exists
at the South, it is sate to say the-people of that
region want everything from com, flour and
provisions, to dry goods, groceries and all
kinds of manuiactured articles. But if tho
confiscation act bo carried out, as is now being
done wherover our armies penetrate, those peo
ple will havo no means of paying for any el
those articles they need. All tney have is
some cotton and sugar. •
If the army take these it will be idle to offoi
Northern goods to the planters, for however much
they may need them, and however willing they
may be to forego their prejudices and trade frith
us, they will not have the means to pay for a sin
gle bale of any kind of merchandize. Should the
planters of Mississippi and-Louisiana evince a
penitent spirit, and thereby‘induce the President
to suspend the* operation of the confiscation act in
their case—while their relatives are fighting onr
troops on the Rappahannock— a further difficulty
would arise from the want of-transportation.' Of
the 1600 or 1700 eteamers formally plying on tho
Mississippi; a very large proportion have been burn
ed or otherwise destroyed,and the remainder are in
the hands of the government as transports, supply
and gunboats, lt is thus clear that if we had
JiolOttic rebels may erect on uie river, auu ho re
opened it from end to end, some time must neces
sarily elapse before any trado worth mentioning
can be carried on there. If tho river be open it
will bo a great gain to tho movement, which can
feed Banks’ army from abovo instead, of sending
supplies round by sea from Now York to New Or
leans, as at present; and an immense quantity of
cotton will doubtless bo brought to light and sent
to market by river and rail. Somo sugar will also
go up tho river to Illinois. But so far as private
cominerco is concerned, it is pretty clear, that un
der most favorable circumstances, a very consid
erable time must elapse, before it can amount to
anything.”
OUR GLORIOUS SOLDIERS.
An intelligent gentleman, who was aa eye
witness of tho late battlo near Fredericks
burg, says that highly as the efficiency of Gen.
Lee’s army had. been extolled, nothing he had
heard camo up to tho impression produced on
his niind by his own observation of their con
duct. Their deeds of valor wore not only
magnificent beyond all conception, but fhe
cheerfulness with which, after being for a great
part of the day involved in the most terrifie
peril, they would, as soon as successful, march
for miles to somo new scene of danger, was
absolutely marvellous. Their conduct when
wounded was even more admirable. Our in
formant has seen groups of the wounded stand-
ing.around a wdl, each waiting patiently his
torn for water, bleeding, dusty, weak in body;
yet as humble, mpdo-tt, and unpretending as
so many children. Wonderful men! What
age or country has - produced such ? Such li
ons in battle, and yet so unconscious ol their
own greatness I Such are the rank and file of
Uie Southern army, men whom it is an honor
to live in the same ago with.—Rich. Ditpatch.
Chased by Ladies.—The following para
graph, which wo clip from.an army letter of
the Mobile Tribnno, may contain some truth;
but as we have beforo heard nothing of the
affair, wo cannot vouch for its accuracy:
We were driving Sedgwick’s infidels across
Banks’s ford, when a Yankee officer was seen
making his way .through tho streets of Frede
ricksburg,where wo bad no troops at tho time,
in order to gain tho opposite side of the river.
A number of ladies standing on the porch at
the time saw the runaway, and cried out “dtop
him, stop him,” when a Miss Philippa Bar
bour, a -niece of Col. Phil. Barbour, of Va.,
with a pursued of other ladies, gave chase, ana
ran the Yankee officer nearly down, who, con
vulsed with laughter at the sport, and the idea
of being runnod by ladies, became nearly ex
hausted, and gave up on being hemmod in at
tho corner of a garden fence I The ladies took
him prisoner, and locked him up in a room
until our troops again entered the city. •
GENERAL BRAGG TO HIS ARMY.
The following order was issued by General Bragg
to his army on the 13th inBtant:

TOO ELEGANT AND COMFORTABLE FOR
YANKEE ENVY.
We gave some pictures of Southern homes from
a Yankee letter writer in onr paper yesterday—of
Uie homes that the Yankees are revelling in and
desolating. The reader will remember that one of
the extracts spoko of 44 the princely mansion of Mr.
James, with its colonades and cupola/' visible from
£5? E 1 *?® fr 0 ® which he wrote, on the bank of the
Mississippi. Such a mansion could not long survive
Yankee envy and malignity when once in Yankee
P°wer. We now learn that sinco tho date of the
letter from which we mado the extracts that splen
did private dwelling has been destroyed—reduced
to a heap of ashes—by the hands of the fenemy.
vv orte than this, the generous owner and his wife
.have been taken prisoners and marched to the place
of their incarceration with- "manacles upon their
arms I There they were confined in separate apart
ments, and no donbt treated with a brutality in
keeping with the general conduct of tho inhuman
foe. What has reached the public eyenmneerning
the losses and distresses,* tho ruin and woe visited
by the invader upon tho inhabitants of the Missis
sippi afford but a bird's-eye view of them. They
exceed anypossible conception that may be formed
of thepu They will alone fill a volume of the hor
rors which will be unfolded to an astonished world
alter the conclusion of this barbarous war. But
there is a just retribution in store for the infernal
race which has perpetrated them.
Richmond Ditpatch,
\aiikvx Opinions.—A soldier in the Stonewall
brigade has sent us a letUr. picked up on the battle
field near Chancellorsville. We extract the follow-
ing from it. It u from a young man to his brothor
He says:
“I hope you will have a chance to come home pret
ty soon. I think you will, too; for I think they wilt
havo to give up and let tho South rale. They talk
a good deal about drafting hero, but do not do much.
Let them try it, arid there will be a worse battle
than ever was out South. There are a great many
who have got their revolvers all ready, and carry
them with them. I will die here before I will go to
light for tho d—n niggers. I tell you, it isevoiy
man for himself now. I am going to try and take
care of myself any way.
