ii.iisiderat-ion the best metins of suppiping the
a der lit id toil in Cotton Yarns, now being felt
-I ini r i.nr Stale, the undersigned duly assent.
After a deliberate examination of all tho facts
■•4 before us, to-wit: Tho great scarcity of Cot-
V arcs—the limited means of soldiers wives and
‘'italics—tho probable continuation of this uu
-*! wav, and tho apparent suffering that must
Mitiiiiie to accrue to the families of our noble de-
Mlilt-l'.s on account of the scarcity ot yarns, and
diuost implicit,ililty of procuriug Colton Cards,
-have determined to act upon the following plan,
•I earnestly request CotluU ispiuuers all over
’ State heartily (o eo-opuato with us.
. We ke.etiy ‘‘ledge ourselves to furnish to Gen.
in It. Falser,ljuarter master General of the State
I Georgia one-eighth of our production of Colton
brtc weekly at oue-lialf the current prices at the
e they are turuished. These Yarns to bo issued
“the luferior Court of each county aud by them
‘die distributed to the destituleof their counties,
1 l i ,tid ‘d for by a rosoiutiun of the late Logiala-
Tlieso yarns to he delivered by us at the nearest
-dot of tiauspoytatton.
* his plan cannot fail to commend itself to every
iin the Umpire State. Thousands ol our lol
v‘ , ci-'.rus, cknl in the armor of War, are oil dis-
Mt fields cheerfully bat fling for our rights, aud
b.'.tuiiy risking their lives m defence of us, our
’s and our aliavs. Their families are consigned
io rave. They are in great ueed of yarns with
‘t y'li to weave them necessary clothing. Cotton
I , aaaut be procured. Their only hope is in
“t ii. t i-iia or their Stale. To them they appeal,

To the /Milor of the Who/: •
From otic of our exchanged prison
ers, an old friend of mine, now in tlie
12tli Mississippi Regiment, but born and
raised in Ihe county of Halifax, Va., 1
have come iu possession of a few facts,
which may prove interesting. They
show to what loav tricks and infamous
lying the officers of the Yankee army can
descend to seduce the ignorant and un
suspecting Avho ntny fall into (heir
power.
My friend was taken at Ohaneellors
ville and carried to Falmouth,and thence
to Washington, Avith eight hundred oth
ers. They Avere marched through all
the principal streets of the city, as he
thinks, to “make a show,” and carried
out to the suburbs. On Monday last
they were all drawn up iu line and ad
dressed by (he Yankee officers. They
Avere told that they v.’ere not to be ex
changed and would all be sent, to Fort
DelaYvare. The oath of allegiance was
then offered them. Some of the men
had been in the Fort, aud knowing its
horrors, said they Yvottld prefer death to
being kept there Iyvo years. About. -15
out of 800, were thus induced so take
the oath.
These lies Yvcre told by a Colonel of
their army. 0. F. O.
The Killing of Gf.n. Van*Dorn.—A
gentleman just from Spring Hill, in Mau
ry count)', gives me some particulars in
regard to the death of Van Horn. The
facts are singularly tragic, and in time
of peace would create a national furore.
The croYvded condition of the great war
canvass, however, will distract the pub
lic eye from the quiet, domestic melo
drama.
Since taking up his quarters in Spring
Hill, Van Horn lias been upon terms of
criminal intimacy with Mrs. Dr. Peters.
Site was a Miss McKissick—young, hand
some and well educated. Her family is
of the highest respectability, and of con
siderable wealth. The husband has been
one of the most esteemed of citizens, an
amiable man, member of the State Sen
ate, and heavy planter; a brother of
Major Peters, Chief Quartermaster to
Gen. Polk. The pair have been married
(a second marriage on the part of the
gentleman) for about five years. On the
day of the occurrence Dr. Peters called
upon Van Dorn and obtained a pass to
go to Nashville. Van Dorn gave it rea
dily, doubtless feeling glad to get rid of
a disagreeable and dangerous encum
brance. They were alone together in an
upper room, and it is supposed that Dr.
Peters shot from the back of Van Dorn’s
head, which was split in twain by the
bullet. The report was not heard, lioyv
ever, and Peters mounted his horse, rode
away, crossed our lines with the pass
previously obtained and entered Nash
ville. He has been, I learn, received
with marks of distinguished welcome.
The body of Van Dorn was coffined and
sent oil’ for interment. Mrs. Peters has
returned to her own family. These, are
the facts, hard and dry.—6'or. Rich. Enq.
Clanton's Brigade.—ln a card in the

says:
I have until the sth day of next June

Our Governor, who has greatly assisted

1 lie New \ ork \\ orld mis ;tn interest
ing letter detailing, in connected order,
the various movements, manoeuvres
and operations of the week’s fighting
about Fredericksburg. The accounts we
have hitherto received through the Nor
thern papers have been confused and
tragmeutary, and the following review
put", in a brief and intelligible form-, the
operations ol Hooker's army from the
time oi its advance to iis retreat across
the river, ir is, too, by far the most
candid account we have yet seen from
the enemy. The correspondent writes:
The campaign of Gen. Hooker is over,
and the operations of the army of the
Rappanannock, upon the results of
which many had looked with hope, and
all Yvitli anxiety, have ended in complete
failure. Commencing with the most
flattering promises of cheering and de
cisive victory, it has terminated in de
feat—disaster.
The confused and fragmentary ac
counts already published, can give no
adequate realization of events which the
past nine days have developed; and a
resume , in connected order, of the vari
ous movements, manoeuvres and conflicts
can alone convey a correct idea of how
far we Yvere successful, how far we were
defeated, and tlie causes of the present
result, as far as they can be discerned.
The difficulties ot ihe position in
which the army y\' as placed are too well
known to need much explanation. A
wide river and forty miles of earth
works were in front of the *enemy for
their defence. To carry this position by
a front attack, i:i tlie face of such ob
stacles, were simply impossible, and to
throtv the entire army across the river
above or below these works would ne
cessitate an abandonment of the pres
ent base of supplies at Acquia Landing,
for with our supplies and communica
tions thus exposed, the enemy could not
possibly fail to take advantage of it.—
flow then could the difficulties of the po
sition be successfully met and the enemy
be driven from their entrenched posi
tion ? The folloYving seems to have been
the plan which was adopted, and which
was in a great degree successful.
Tin: Flan. —A portion of tlie army,
about half of it, Yvas to cross the river
near Fredericksburg and pretend to re
netv the attempt, in which Burnside had
been previously unsuccessful, and ac
complish two objects—first, to hold the
enemy’s force at that point ; and second
to protect our communications and sup
plies, while the other half of the army
should make a crossing above the fortifi
cations, and sweeping down with the
greatest rapidity to tlie rear of Freder
icksburg, take a strong position and
hold it until they could he reinforced by
the portion of the army engaged in ma
king the feint, which Yvas to withdraw
from its position, take the bridges to the
point, of the river which had been unco
vered by tlie flank movement, and the
whole army was tbps to be concentrated
in the rear of Fredericksburg. The fol
loYving outline of each day’s operations
will shoYV to Yvhat extent this bold and
‘hazardous plan has proved successful,
and in what degree and for Yvhat reason
it lias resulted so unfortunately.
Monday and Tuesday.— On Monday,
the 26th, was commenced the execution
of this plan. Three corps—the Fifth,
Eleventh and Twolf l l l —were ordered to
march Yvitli eight day’s rations to Kel
ly’s Ford, near the Orange and Alexan
dria Railroad. General Slocum, of the
Twelfth Corps, Yvas placed in command,
and on Tuesday night the force entrust
ed with the important part of executing
the flank movement ’had reached the
point at which they Yvere ordered to
cross the Rappahannock. Tuesday night
also three other corps, the First, Third,
and Sixth, were sent, to Franklin’s cross
ing, three miles below Fredericksburg,
to be ready to undertake the crossing
simultaneously Yvitli the other corps at
Kelly’s Ford on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday. —The enemy were evi
dently not prepared to resist the cross--
ing at either point, and the affair was so
well managed that both divisions of the
army had established themselves on the
west bank of the river, and covered
llieir bridges without any serious oppo
sition by the enemy. Gen. Sedgwick,
who commanded the three corps oi’ tlie
left wing, made no forward demonstra
tion, except enough to attract the ene
my and prevent them from turning upon
the detachment Yvliich was forcing its
way tow’ard the rear of the enemy’s
works in command of Gen. Stonentan.—
Gen. Hooker had personally superinten
ded the passage of the troops at Kelly’s
.Ford, and returned ivliile they pushed
on toward the Rapidan at Germania
Mills, where they crossed successfully,
and made some progress beyond before
“Wednesday night.
Thursday. —Sedgwick still threatened
the enemy, and held them near Freder
icksburg, while Slocum pressed on from
the Rapidan, and took his position
across.the plank road, the enemy’s line
Os retreat towards Gordonville at Chan
cellorsville. Couch’s second corps,which
had remained at Bank’s Ford, now mov
ed up to the United States Ford, and
crossed to join Gen. Slocum. Gen. Hook
er also rejoined and took command of
the four corps thus concentrated in the
rear of Fredericksburg and across the
line of the enemy’s retreat. It was noxV
time for the detachment to take the de-
hold their position until the
other corps should join them, and, the
army, thus united, be enabled to meet
all the forces which the enemy might
bring against them. Thursday night
there was sharp work on both sides to
out-manoeuvre the other. The enemy
had now learned Yvith sufficient certain
ty that a large force was in their rear in
the direction of Chaneellorsville, and
that Stoneman’s cavalry was greatly en
dangering their railroad communication
and they were moving accordingly away
from Sedgwick toward the rear of Hook
er, between ChancellorviLle and the Rap
dan, by the roads at the south of the
plank road, which was in our possession.
While leaving Sedgwick’s front, the en
my made unusual demonstrations of
campfires, as if concentrating there,and
similar devices were resorted to on our
own side. But neither deceived the oth
er, for both were moving away, and on
our side’ a portion of the bridges were
taken up immediately, and the Third
corps moved all night towards the Uni
ted States Ford to join with Gen. Hook
er at Chaneellorsville.
FltiDAT.—While the First ami Third Oot'i<? were
moving from the leit wing: to join General Hooker,
at ChancellorsviUe, anil while Jackson was taking
a circuitous route to reach the rear of General
Hooker’s lines holwcen Chaneellorsville and tlie
Rapidan. two divisions —Sykes, of the j)tli Corps,
anfl Williams’, of the 12th —pushed on nearer to
the rear of Fredericksburg, skirmishing and fight
ing with the enemy, who showed slight resistance
in that direction. The enemy were tiius driven
before them for four miles, when Gen. Hooker, tor
some reason, ordered them to fall back and rejoin
his lines at Chaneellorsville. By night his army
was all concentrated except the Sixth Corps, and
tvadv for a forward movement to the rear ofFred
ericksburs Heights. The main body of the enemy
had now moved away from their works at Freder
icksburg, aud were preparing to attack our army
on the right iu a direction from which, if beaten,
tiny could successfully retreat, and from which it
w as hardly expected they would meet us.
Batuedyv.—General Hooker occupied the day iu
awaiting the attack of tlie enemy, which was evi
dently expected in front. The movements of the
enemy seemed to indicate that they were retreat
in'?, and as the main line of their retreat was occu
pied by our forces an attack to recover that line

was a solid column of infantry retreating at double i

nins who were flying as hist as their lees could
carry them, followed up by the rebels pouring
their murderous volleys in upon us, yelling and
hooting, to inerease the Confusion; hundreds of
cavalry horses, left riderless al the lirst discharge
from the rebels, dashing frantically about in ail
directions; scores of batteries fl)ing from the
held; battery wagons, ambulances, horses, no n.
eauieoi, caissons-—all jumbled ami tumbled togeth
er ill one inextricable mass—and the murderous
lire of the rebels still pouring in upon them’ To
add to tile terror of the occasion there was but one
means to escape from the held, and that through a
little narrow neck or ravine washed out by Scott's
Creek. Towards this the confused mass plunged
be .Ulong. for a moment it seemed as if no power
could avert the frightful calamity that threatened
the qntire srmy. On came the panic'stricken
crowd, terrifies! artillery riders spurring and lash
ing their horses to their utmost: ambulances up
setting and being dashed to pieces against trees
and stumps ; horses dashing over the held ; men
flying and crying with alarm—a perfect torrent of
passion apparently uncontrollable. The men ran
in all directions. They all seemed possessed with
an instinctive idea of the shortest and most direct
line from the point whence they started to tlie
United states Mine Ford, and the majority of them
did not stop until they had reached ilia ibid.
Many of them, on reaching the river, dashed in
and swam to the north side, arid are supposed to
I e running yet. The stampede was universal, the
d.sgraee general.
The Third Corps, under oChoral Sickles, was in
terposed in the'breach thus made, and the excel
lent coolness of this ottleer, with the hotter qualities
which his corps exhibited, saved the further pro
gress of the panic and the rout, and the evil was
temporarily stayed. l!ut the poison was infused,
the other corps had witnessed the utter confusion
and panic of one full corps, and tlieir enthusiasm
was from that moment dampened, and the. confi
dence they had hitherto felt in their success under
General llooker, was lost in the reflection that they
could place little Confidence in one another.
liut a little ground was lost in this event, yet all
had an ill-boding sense of fear that our men would
not prove reliable, and that our successes thus far
were but to prove fruitless in the end. This rout
of the Eleventh (formerly Feigel’s) Corps wa.< the
crisis. This was the turning point from which our
succeeding misfortunes can he most distinctly tra
ced. Saturday closed the operations of the first
week, with doubtful prospects of the final result,
and the previous successes of the right wing seemed
destined to end in disaster.
Sedgwick, with the Sixth Corps, had at this
time withdrawn to the east hank of the river, taken
up his bridges, and replaced them again directly in
li-ont of Fi-edericksburg, and prepared for an as
sault on the morrow on the earth works hack of the
town.
(SUNDAY. —Tito assault of General Sedgwick upon
the Heights of Fredericksburg was commenced on
Sunday morning. A more determined and despe
rate attack has not been made. A- men ever at
tacked the fortifications of an enemy with more
enthusiasm or vigor. Tile hank wjis steep, the lire
of shot and shell was terrific, and the slaughter of
General Sumner's corps, four months ago, gave
little promise of success. To almost certain death
the men charged up an j carried tiie works, drove
the artillerists from their guns, captured twelve
pieces of the best aud heaviest artillery, and many
prisoners of war in their trenches. Avith the hea
viest losses, Sedgwick followed up his success with
the boldest energy, and pursued the enemy towards
ChanccUorsville with the purpose of uniting with
General Hooker at that place.
but this brilliant success came too late, for (lie
enemy hold the plank road, which the rout of the
Eleventh Corps had yielded to them on Hie previous
night, and the enemy was enabled to throw any
sufficient force against him to prevent his junction
with Hooker. This was speediiy done, and soon
Sedgwick’s fine corps, the largest and perhaps the
host of the army, was cut off from communication
either with llooker or with Fredericksburg, and.
thus isolated, was compelled to fall hack upon the
river at banks’ ford, where bridges had been thrown
over, by which, if severely pressed, he could make
safe his retreat across the Rappahannock again.—
Thus followed misfortune on misfortune, not for
lack of skill or bravery, hut for the conduct of the
miscreants who had tied from their position on the
previous night utmost, upon the first attack of the
enemy.
but another repulse was sustained on Sunday
morning by the army near Chancellorsville, The
enemy renewed tiie attack and again drove hack
our lines for half a mile. From the large brick
house, which gives the name to this vicinity, the
enemy could ho seen sweeping slowly, but'confi
dently, determinedly, and surely,'through the clear
ings which extended in front. Nothing could ex
cite more admiration for the best qualities of the
veteran soldier than the manner in which the ene
my swept out, as they moved steadily onward, the
forces which were opposed to them. W'e -ay it re
luctantly, and fur the first time, that the enemy
have showed the finest qualities, and we acknowl
edge, on this occasion, their superiority in tin: open
field to our own men.
They delivered tlieir fire with precision, and
were apparently indexible and immovable under
the storm of bullets and shell which they were con
stantly receiving. Coming to a piece of timber,
which was occupied hv a division of our own men,
half the number were detailed to clear the woods,
it seemed certain that here they would he repuls
ed, hut they marched right through the wood, driv
ing our own soldiers out, who delivered their fire
and 101 l hack, halted again, fired and fell hack as
before, seeming to concede to the enemy, as a mat
ter of course, the superiority which they evidently
felt themselves. Our own men fought well. There
was no lack of courage, hut. an evident feeling, ap
parently the result ol'having been so often whip
ped, or of having w itnessed the rout on the night
previous, that they wore destined to he beaten, and
the only thing for them to do was to tire and re
treat. The enemy felt confident that they were to
ho victorious, and our own men bad, from some oc
casion, imbibed the same impression. Our men
showed lack of earnestness and enthusiasm, tint no
want of courage. All that they needed was the
inspiration of a series of victories to look 1 ack up
on, and an earnestness and confidence in the suc
cess of the cause for which they were fighting.—
Thus ended the Sabbath and another chapter in
this series of our disasters.
Monday.—Another day of misfortune, and the
day was hardly ushered in before the enemy in
force came down upon the detachments which had
been thought sufficient to hold the works upon the
Heights of Fredericksburg. First a brigade, then
a division, then a larger force came in upon them,
aud after strongly contesting the position they
were compelled to yield and fall hack under the
protection of the town. The enemy formed their
line of battle on the outskirts, and within the town
the two brigades of General (Gibbon held them in
check as long as could he. Many wounded men
were here in the hospitals, an 1 the position was
maintained as long as possible. At length the
ground was given up, the troops were withdrawn,
the bridges taken up, and Fredericksburg was giv
en hack to the enemy.
They were now at liberty to turn their atten
tion to Sedgwick, and they lost no time in concen
trating their forces against him. They were too
strong for him.
After a most obstinate fight, in which the enemy
almost were, successful in destroying the bridges
and the possibility of liis escape, he made good his
retreat also to the east bank of the Rappahannock.
His losses were appalling. He suffered terribly,
and in their retreat there was much confusion and
disorder among the troops. A few at the first
onset laid down tlieir arms and yielded themselves
up prisoners without firing a musket, hut generally
the men of the corps displayed the greatest gal
lantry in fighting, and only yielded when over
powered by superior numbers.
Tuesday.—Jty this time the aspect of affairs had
become exceedingly dark. The troops were much
dispirited, and although they had held their posi
tion on Monday, the prospect of meeting the com
bined forces of the enemy with large reinforce
ments, which they wore known to have received,
was exceedingly unpromising. A severe storm ap
peared also on Tuesday afternoon, swelling the
Rappahannock to a torrent and threatening to
carry away the bridges. Tuesday night (lie army
of the Rappahannock was withdrawn, and our en
tire force brought again to this side of the river,
With the exception of many dead and wounded,
who were left behind to the teiuler mercies of the
enemy.
Thus ended the nine days campaign of tiie Rap
pahannock. What was, it would seem, the mos
difficult part of tiie task was accomplished most
successfully,. The army was concentrated in the
rear of the enemy’s works, and they were forced
to come out of them and give battle in an open
field. Strange to say, the army failed to heat the
enemy on comparatively equal ground and upon
even footing.
Our. Losses. —During those, nine days our losses
can hardly fall short of 17,000 men. Possibly they
will l>e more.
“Tiie Finest Army on the Planet.”
The*New York Herald, (editorial,) of
tffic 19th April, contains the following ;
How goes the war ? What is the pros
pect? Do the combinations of the spring
campaign as they are gradually unfolded
{ive us satisfactory assurances of great
victories and a glorious peace, or anoth
av summer of disappointments and dis
asters? We answer that we have an
abiding faith that tlie days of she rebel
lion are numbered, and that the end
draws nigh. General Hooker, who com
mands the finest army on the planet, is
preparing for a forward movement which
cannot be successfully resisted; for bis
force will advance this time, not in bro
ken detachments, scattered over half the
State of Virginia, but en masse on the
road to Richmond.
“The best army o’n ‘he planet” seems
to have been struck by .the tail of a
comet.
Costly.—The Cincinnati Enquirer
says: “The preparations for the attack
on Charleston cost one hundred and fif
ty millions. The fight lasted hut half an

SIGNS or DISLOYALTY. *
1. Drawing a distinction between ihe i
Government and ihe Administration —
sustaining one at all times—approving
the other u-hin it docs right, and rebuking
i: ichea it docs tcrovg.
2. Asserting a: all limes that because
the rebels have violated the laws of the
land, it is no justification for us to vio
late them.
b. Fighting aud furnishing means for
the Union, the Constitution and the laws,
and ignoring abolition schemes for the
negro.
-J. Strenuously urging a policy that
will make the re-union of the States pos
sible, instead of fostering measures to
widen the breach.
Those are the signs of royalty and dis
loyalty furnished by the Black Republi
can Jacobins themselves.

Fainting Joe.—ln Hooker’s braggart
evidence before the committee of the
Federal Congress he gave it to be under
stood that if he had not received a wound
and fainted at the battle of Sharpsburg,
there would have been a great Federal
victory instead of a drawn battle. Pos
sibly lie may have Ihe face to adopt a
similar pretext as the cause of his last
failure. One of the Yankee prisoners
here says he saw him fall from Itis horse
during the late battle, and perhaps he
fainted. Without. Hooker victory was,
of course, impossible. But what can be
done with a General who, however true
lent before Congressional committees,
always faints in a fight? He will be
known hereafter as “Fainting Joe,” in
stead of “Fighting Joe.”— Richmond Dis

It is understood that the President,
General lialleek and oilier distinguished
officers went down the river this morn
ing to visit General llooker and consult
with him upon future plans,-and the re
sults obtained by (lie recent movements.
General Hooker is said to be worn down

Items prom Charleston.- Tho Cour
ier of the IHih ins!., says the-French
dispatch steamer ileiiatidin, from New
York, has arrived olf this port, and sent,
a boat to ihe city on Saturday’last. The
steamer Gen. Clinch went down to her
on Sunday and brought up a passenger
and some baggage marked M. Lenen.
The only prizes taken off this port
lately, so tar as we can learn, have been
two small sailing vessels, having on
board about thirty or forty bales of col
ton.
The Yankee blockading fleet off this
port on Sunday was thirteen sail, of
which eleven were steamers ami two sail
ing vessels.
• Abolition Vandalism jn East Ten
nessee.—A reliable gentleman from East
Tennessee, * writing from Shelbyville,
gives an account of one achievement of
East Tennessee lories :
A parly’ of Fast Tennesseeans went to
the house of a. good Southern lady, Mrs.
Ohesley Williams, living in Eagleville,
Williamson county, Tennessee, with the
avowed intention of stealing everything
they 7 could put their rogueish hands on.
The first place they entered was her
smoke house, and because site remon
strated with them for taking her meat,
they knocked her down, beat her, and
finally choked her until she could not
speak. I saw her eight or nine days af
ter it occurred; she could no*l, move. —
Bite is now a cripple for life.
——**—*
Cool.—The newspapers inform us that
a French man-of-war has arrived at
Charleston with a French Consul on
board for that port. Inasmuch as the
French and English Governments do not
know of tho existence of the Southern
Confederacy even on the map of nations,
it is a query what, instructions those
Governments could have given to their
agents by which to find the ports of
Charleston and Mobile in the Confeder
ate States of America. —Mobile llcg.

Obituary.
Heath of B. F. Calloway, or Midway, Barroi r
Couxtt, Ala. —Among the many gallant young
men who have fallen in defence of our country,
since the beginning of this war, none will he
mourned by a more ardent circle of friends than
15. K. Calloway, of Cos, “11,” 15th Alabama ltegi
tnent, who was killed in a skirmish with the enom.v
near Suffolk, Va., on the 3d of May. Mr. Callo
way was a young manof extraordinary character ;
he was a native id’ Barbour county, and leaves an
aged father and mother to mourn his untimely
loss. He was in his 25th year, had always main
tained a reputation for the strictest veracity, was
beloved by all who knew him. and was the idol of
his comrades in arms, in addition to Ids aged pa
rents, he leaves one brother and sisters to mourn
his loss. The loss of stitch men, though they may
have been comparatively unknown abroad, is ir
reparable. c. r>.
