This company, numbering one hundre 1 and
fix nion, passed through this city yesterday eu
rout for Virginia. It is from Troy, Pike county,
Ala. and is coalman.led by Opt. W. L. Hamner,
who is in every way calculated to conduct it
through whatever trials they may be called wp
on to endure. His officers, Ist Lieut 11. L.
Fielder, 2d Lieut. Hhep. Kufflin, and ‘ld Lieut.
John H. Darby, are young meu of high standing,
and we doubt not that their courage and ability
is amply suffieent for any emergency, and should
they chance to meet the Herslan? upon the Hold
of battle, woe be unto them.
We bid them a Und speed and when the trials
and hardship* of the war aro over, may they all
return* bom* safe to the loved one* whocs prayers
will follow them wherever they may bo ent u>

Richmond, July 26tb.
The question or. every one’s tongue to-day Is:
‘•Where is Beauregard; where is Johnston?”
No one doubts that these skillful Generals are
doing soma lmv<>riant service; but all are unx
ious to know what they are doing. There la a
quiet t-jrpeaaie in the public mind, indicating,
like the cult; y stillness of the heavens a storm,
that antic i mportant news will soon burst upon
i*. The V.igh official* of government may know
where theee General* ure operating,and what are
their plans, but they keep a mysterious reserve;
and to all enquirers the reply is: “they know
nothin/.’ j there is no new ’’ One report current
i* to the rttert that they have gone secretly and
-tuieffly with a Urge force, to destroy Patterson**
rtfr t* f darrnee, at Charlestown. The plan i* said
lbe to get between him and Washington; to cut
oft his communications; and to annihilate him;
leaving however, a sufficient force to defend the
line in Fairfax oounty. if such an enterprise be
practicable, and this report be true, it is a bold
and rapid movement, and we shall soon have im
portant Hews. Having accomplished the Uestruc
non oi Patterson**army, the genersls, with their
combined forces, will return, to drive the enemy
from Alexandria and Arlington Heights. A
great many regiment* have been eut from Hih
moud, the last few day*, and it I* said Beaure
gard hud demanded ten thousand more men,
immediately, to take the place of those who were
to g- on this expedition. President Davis said,
when lie returned from Manassas Junction, our
army would bo in Alexandria within the next
dsy or two. We have not yet hear<l of it* being
there. This might have been said to deceive the
enemy, u< all that transpires in Richmond is
known at Washington, or the plan of operations
may have I,ecu banged. Again, ft is said our
urmy 1 moving forward towards the l'otoiuac,
and that it is about to occupy Alexandria, und
the tier i t hill* immediately behind Arlington.
Occupying such a position, we should have the
enemy in a pen ; and with the large amount of
artillery we have now, could make his much boas
ted ot entrenchments untenable, it is not like
ly that the demoralized Northern forces, left in
V irgfnia, would make a very desperate resistance.
After their late experience, they would prefer,
probably, facing Hie Long Bridge, to the deadly
aim ami cold steel of our brave men.
Such are the report* current in Richmond.—
They are not improbable. All that wo know,
from good authority, ia that some advanced posts
of our army were within a law miles of Alexan
dria, and that there had heon a general advance
along the line we occupied.
Surgeon* and others who were at, and who
hitvo Imcn to the battle-held, give the most dis
tressing account* of the sufferings of the wound
ed, and <d'the want of means to alleviate the
misery ot the brave men. The Incapacity, ne
gleet, or want of organization of the Surgeon
General's and Commissariat Department* ii ve
hemently condemned. A Surgeon, who went to
iho battle-field to render his services, and who
returned with u number of sick and wounded, in
formed mo chat little preparation had been made
to tAkecure of the wounded, that they suffered in
tensely for the want of food, water and proper
medicaments. For two days this gentleman could
not get anything to eat, though he was there per
forming the most fatiguing duty. Nor could he
get the proper and necessary thing* for his pa
tients. There wero not a sufficient number of
medical men and Surgeons to do the duty re
required, and among those there,many wero inex
perienced and inefficient. With the greatest
abundance of material* and provisions captur
ed from the enemy, betides what had been sup
plied by the Departments, both the wounded and
their doctor* wero starving. Nurses too were
much needed. There i* something radically
wrong in all, or Hourly all, branches of the War
Department. When the doctor to whom I have
alluded went to Surgeori General’s office in Rich
mond, to represent the statu of things, and to
make some requisition*, he met two or three prim,
scented dandies, who hardly treated him with
resnect. When he asked for the Surgeon Gen
eral, he was told by theso exquisites that they
were “ail Surgeon Generals there.” They seem
ed to treat thu matter very coolly, and quietly
promised to tako the wants of the doctor into
consideration. It is high time the Departments
of the Govormnent wore purged of inefficient of
ficer* and employee*, and that they he made to
show vigor and ability equal to the necessities of
the times.— Charletton Mercury,

Baltimore Sun, says the Fredericksburg Recor
der. from fbe lion. Wm. A. lUchnr U'in, member
of Congress from Illinois, who professes to bo an
eye witness of the scene of ihe engagement at
Bull Run. Ho says .
The action was commenced by Gen. Tylor, of
Connecticut, at hall past one o’clock, on Thurs
day -tlmt the Michigan, Maine and Wisconsin
regiments stood their ground bravely, while the
New York 1 2th and Massachusetts rug iin cuts
run with all their might, throwing away their
arm?, knapsack.*, and in fact everything that
impeded their progress The men say that their
officers lack courage and were the lint to “take
the back track.” It seems that the only regi
ments wlui could be relied on in their greatest
emergency wero composed of foreigners the
New York (Hub (Irish) and 7W(h (Scotch.) The
writer give- it as his opinion that Mauassav can
not be taken with 60,t0 men in two months,
and that the North has been greatly deceived,
uot only iu their numbers and discipline, but in
itu-ir lighting qualities—rushiug as they did into
battle, with n shout that rose above the roar of
the camion, wlnl*t their artillery was served in
unsurpassed style. One ball fell directly amidst
a group of Uoiigre*smen, amongst whom was
Owen Loveioy, w hich caused a ludicrous scamp
ciing and dodging behind trees. One remark
able feature which impressed itself upon the
minds of the Congressmen, during their route to
the scene of action, was the absence of all the
male population capable of beaiiug arms. Th#
few whom they saw were decrepit old men and
women, wln .-c eyes “fairly flashed fire nt the
sight of the Yankee soldiers.”
The letter conclude* with the opinion of Gen.
McDowell, that there would not be an immedi
ate engagement, unless his troops stumbled over
tome us those inevitable “masked batteries”
which seem So much to exercir* our invaders.

In the regular Confederate service there is but

or brigadier Generals in thst service. Before the
adoption of the act creating the regular army of
the Confederate .States, the old plan of the Uni
ted State* army wa* adopted, and the rank* ot
Major and Brigadier General* were created. It
is under this bill that Gens. T wiggx and Folk

ly ootnmendable. Judge Crawford has no doubt
that the subscriptions will be largely increased
and may reach fifty thousand hales of cotton,
which at 10 cents per pound would yield two
millions and a half to the Government loan. —
Whilst on this subject, we cannot but express our
disappointment and mortification, that Musco
gee has fallen behind almost all her sister Coun
ties of the oIJ 2d, in the comparative amount of
her subscriptions. She is the largest and richest
county in the district and yet her subeription op
to this time has only reached eighty thousand
dollars’ We confidently assert that the people
of this county, planters, merchant# and capital
ists have the ability of subscribing a half mil
lion. It i humiliating to tee such a striking
want of patriotism and public spirit among.t a
people who have s<> much at etakein this unholy
and ruthless war which is I*cing waged against
u. It give* ns no pleasure to express this re
buke and wo hope that Muscogee and especially
Columbus will redeem herself from the charge ol
unpatriotic selfishness to which her past action
ho* subjected her people.
We are rt joiced also to learn from Judge V.
that the whole District 1* in a blase and that the
determination and desire to enter the service of
the Gorermueot and fight to the death for our
independence are universal throughout the Dis

My Sunday gossip to day Will breathe a sad i
Md melancholy t .ne. During the entire week
and up to 1 2 o'clock last night, I enjoyed the
melancholy satisfaction of witnessing the arri
val, by the Ceatral cars, of hundreds of our
wounded champions—mutilated and disfigured
with wounds, maimed and crippled, but all re j
signed, silent and submissive to the will of our !
Ueavelr Father, who is thus pleased to work l
out our deliverance through tribulatland
blood. Üb, how my heart yearned fora share at
the groans and anguish of our noble, hut suffering
champions as I saw them, with eyes upturned to
Heaven, lying prostrate, helpless as infants on
Die pallet or the cot, and conveyed from the cars
to the residences of our private citisens, who. to
their credit be it said, vie with each other in se
curing the largest number of our gallant defen
ders. All our wounded are, or soon will be i
cared lor and tenderly nursed in the dwelling# 4
of our citisens, where lovely women Will be rea
dy to fan the fevered brow or apply tine balm of
sweet consolation to the stranger brother who
left wife or daughter or mother to drivw back the
barbarian from the very homes which now cx- |
tend to them a brother's welcome and a brother's
love. How wonderful and mysterious are the
ways of God! May we not, in the beautiful 1
word* of (he Canticles, exclaim :
‘ Sing, oh my tongus, adore an.l praise
The depth of God’s mysterious ways.”
To-day, in all our Churches, in respouse to
the resolution adopted in Congress last Monday, j
recommending that special thanksgiving be of
fered up to tSodfor llis signal blessing upon our
arms at Manassas, Divine service was specially
directed to that end. The sermon preached by
the Right Rev. Bishop McGill of the Catholic
Church, which, through the kind invitation of
a friend, I hud the pleasure of bearing, was a
master piece of Christian eloquence. Hi* subject
was Providence, and his arguments and il'uatru |
tions were drawn with admirable skill and irre j
futable logic, from the event# preceding and at
tending the battle of Manassas. When this elo
quent livine adverted to the degradation pre
pared fur the citizens of the South—to their 30,-
000 hand cuffs, and then Invoked the congrega
tion to praise and glorify our Heavenly Father
for Jli> merciful interposition in ourheba'f, there
was an evident, though suppressed sensation
throughout the Cathedral. The manly breast* of
the Koldier- especially, of whom about 300 at
tended the service, were seen to heay* with
mingled emotions of gratitude to Ood and exe
crations of the barbarian invader. In alt the
other Churches of the city similar set vies* wer*
observed.
Koch arrival fruin Manassas presents the
•vents fulUwing Sunday's battle in an aspect of
incroa k ed horror and wore revolting barbarism.
Could it be believed, if we bad not the informa
tion, as I have had it from their own lips, that to
this moment their wounded and dying are left
along the road-side and the fields, over a spare
of twelve miles, unheeded and neglected ? Last
night Iccnversed with two wounded prisoner*of
the Cfitb, who lay on the field of battle wounded
and bleeding from Sunday at 4 o'clock to Tues
day morning, when they crawled to a ffiriuhouxo.
from which they were sent, at their own earnest
request, to Manassas as prisoners. And while i
in that condition the only respon e and sympa
thy they received from tbeirown eommandora—
in one instance, from their own officers—was
that they were as near to b—l there ae they
would be any where else. They are now with
aome hundred more of their regiment well cared
for in our city Hospital, by the ladies of Rich
mond, under the general management of she
Sisters of Charity. Good Heaven! what would
lie our fate iI v.e had been or ever rhunld be
subjugated by such inhuman brutal Kioneters.
We must It# up and dointr. else the danger tnav
.‘teal upon us unawares.
The plains of the dead ! What a melancholy
theme ‘ How harrowing to the sensibilities of
human nature the subject! I am, just after lis
tening So a gentleman from Ibis city who, on
Friday, visited the battle ground. Gar doad are
all sleeping in a soldier's grave ; our wounded
are all either at Mana sas or Richmond. The
enemy's dead Mill cover theplaius, the invader’s
wounded still bang around the farmhouses and
barns of the farmer* along their route to Wash
ington. For miles around the atmosphere is
tainted with puteid effluvia, and the duty of ae
pnlture h thrown upon the Confederate troops.
This is a lino -t incredible, but I aiiure your
readers it is a fa-it is true. ‘I he remnant of
one rrginietit, some Ton men, reached Fail*
Church about eight ndleefrom Washington, and
perhaps four miitoi from the Federal fnitifiratioos
on Arlington Height*. Yesterday (Saturday,)
they were surrouuded by a body of our troupe,
and a* <#wre surrendered, and, with their arms,
marched to Mana* i,<. They are expected at
Bi'dinioid to- night.
The blinded North i*, at length, beginning to
realize the truth, that its mercenary hireling*
have, instead of a “mod of rebels” to be scatter
ed by a posse lenitatne, a Ration of freemen to
repel their invasion an l defend their institutions
and their home*.
The editor of the New York Times, telegraph
ed from Washington to his paper, under date
of Sunday, midnight: “The battle was on* of
lh#a*ver<Ht ever fought m (hi- ntinewt. The
Fir* Zouaves are terribly cut up. Col. Burnham

Hut wili they cease from their un just and un
holy war, and leave the South to live under it*
own institutions, laws and serial priiry? W#
fear not, and hence, we must be vigilant, active
aud always ready.

wounded. I walked over the battln-field about
dark.after tho enemy had retreated. Theground
was literally covered with the .lead and dying.

There are two great objects which vre desire as
the result of the momentous struggle which is
now pending. One Is Politick, the other is Com
mercial and Financial.
The CrG has been thoroughly organized and
under the direction of the ablest minds in our
Confederacy, and *ith the blessing of God, ap
pears to bt* rapidly progressing to a Satisfactory j
conclusion. The second, and iu our estimation !
the greatest and most important, has not, as yet, !
an organisation,and twin great danger of being I
lost by the success of the first- before aoy well .
digested plena have been adopted for its attain- .
nienf.
We feel it to be our duty, therefore, to our !
selves and our country, to seek to awaken the i
public mind to the incalculable importance of I
seeing to It, that our forces are promptly u?- j
tcred and well equipped for the coming sirug- 1
our plans throughly dismissed and well ma
tured, that by prompt and combined action when
(be movement shall be made, we shall eusure
entire success and become as we seek to h, nut
only politically, but commercially and financial
ly frr* and i nd^f-tndrnt.
Have we nut the skill and energy in our tu- ,
j federacy which is needful to condui t our com
, men ial and financial attain as well abroad as at
home 7 If not, we fear we must be content as !
! beret <f. r, to allow them to remain in the hands j
! of, and be conduct*! by others,
f Shall the profits arising frin our immense
; trade with Foreign countries continue to flow in
[ to the hands <4 those who art inimical to our
I peace and welfare, or shall the benefits arising
j therefrom be retained by u*an.l transmitted asa
! rich legacy to our children ?
A mighty and systematic et; rt has been made
by Merchants and Bankers of the North to trans
fer to, and engross almost the entire profits of j
Southern trade in their own hands. Our insti
tutions have been decried to the world in the j
, hope that by this means they might drive from
I c- the sympathies of other commercial nations, i
j and obstruct, if not wholly prevent direct infer- ‘
’ turn between us and them.
With the** facts before us, is it not time we
should awaken to the vital importance of instant
wise and decided action upon this subject *
One of the greatest obstacle# in the way of
the establishment ot direct trade with foreign
countries—itumediately upon the opening of the
ports of our Confederacy—is the fact that our
Merchants are comparatively unknown in foreign
markets, and hare no credit established there.
Although, the products of the Southern States
have constituted the basis of c'-edits and ex-,
change between the late baited States and those
nations for more than a half century; in a fi
nancial and commercial -ense, we are unknown
to each other—our bills of exchange have been
drawn by Northern Houses, and the vast amount
of their productions contained by us—important
through the tame channel-*o little have we been
known in theec transactions, that year# would
’ be required in the ordinary course of events, to
| buildup that trade and establish that confidence
j which absolutely) is necessary in commercial
transactions, which are founded on a system of
credits.
It ie clear, thcefore, that some extraordinary
measure# must be devised, to enable us to free
ourselves from these impediments to our com
mercial credit and independence, and prevent
our falling back into the old channel as soon as
our ports are again open. It is, moreover, des
irable that on products, other than our great
staple, should be fully made known to tho world,
and the great advantage to foreign nations es a
direct trade with us, and we should all watte
**r *fart* in the pr.motion of th.s great
work.
We, cordially invite the Mernbants,
Bankers and others of the Confederate States, to
meet us in Mass Convention, in the City of
Macon, on the 14th day of October next, for the
purpoee of deviling some plan for establishing a
system of credits between tb# Confederate States
: of America and Foreign cauntries, which may be
i practicable and available to all deeiring to use it,
| and which will also command the hearty support
of the citizens of our whole country.
We earmestly invite the assistance tnd co
operation of th# press of the Confederate States,
in bringing subject fully before the people end
the presence of i*s members on the occasion
named.
We would also, respectfully suggest to the
various Chambers of Commerce and other Socie
ties within the Confederacy, organized for similar
purposes,—the propriety of appointing com
mittees at an early day for the purpose of a due
and deliberate investigation of this important
snbject, and proposing some plan to be xubrnit
ted to the Convention at its meeting.

OF ?TOH BRINE.
The following graphic description of scenes on
the battle field, and the gallant conduct of th*
3th Georgia Regiment, was written for th# Die
patch, by a gentleman who participated in the
fierce conflict of toe 21st .July:
THE EIGHTH GEORGIA I’.EUfM t NT.
(Jn Thursday the Bth in.-1. about 2P. M this
regiment left Winchester fur Manassas, under
command of Lieut. (Col. Montgomery Gardner.
Col. Bartow ha l been for some week# acting
Brigadier General of a Brigude, consist ing of the I
7th, Mb, Vth and 11th Ge<<rgia Regiments, end a
i.atulion of Keotuckiaua.
ihe 3th marched 27 miles over the mountains,
fording the Shenandoah, to Piedmont, on the
Manassas Gap Railroad, arriving there about
12 M. Friday. The march wa# fatiguing in the
uxtremu. AGer a delay of a lew hours, they
Itft for Mauas*s on cars, and a slow tedious
rule brought them to this point late Saturday
morning. They marched three and a halt miles
tu'-amp in the woods, without tents, and with- ‘
out food. Lsrly next morning they wer* order
ed to tb# fight, whei# they arrived alter a circu
itous, wearisome, and ai limes doubts quick
tramp of between ten and twelve miles.
Breathless, tired, faint and footsore tbs f- I
Unt fellows were eager tor the tray.
They were first ordered to support Pendletea's
Virginia battery, which they did amid a furious
storm of grape from the enemy's gun*. Inactive
as they were. Compelled tube under this fire, I
they stood cool and unflurried.
They were finally ordered to charge Sherman's f
Battery. To do this it was necessary to cross
,and intervening hollow, Covered by aa enemy's
! Lie, and establish themselves in a thicket (link- ‘
j mg the enemy’s battery. They charged iu a
1 manner that elicited the praise of General John <
j stun.
, Gstuitig the thicket they opened upon the en \
j tiuy. The history of w arfare probably affords
no instant e of more desperate fighliug than ;
took pla-e now. k'r in three sides a fierce, cou
j i-eufrated, murderous, uncrating volley poured
1 iq upon this devoted and heroic “six hundred”
i Georgians.
The enemy appeared upon the hill by th# ;
‘ tbcu*.ind. Between six and ten regiments were |
visible It was a hell of bullet-raiu in that fa* j
>1 grove. Th# ranks were cut down as grain
byascylhe. Whole platoons melted away as it
by magic. Cool, unflinching and stubborn,each
man fought with gallantry, and a stern determin- |
utionto win or die. Not one faltered. Colonel
Bartow's horse was shot under him. Adjutant
j Branch fell wounded. L.euL Colonel
i Gardner dropped with a shattered leg. The offi-
I rers moved from rank to rank, from ruau toman, j
cheering and encouraging the brave fellows.— i
i Some ot them took the muskets of the dead and j
j organ coolly filing at the enemy.
It was an appalling hour, ‘ihe shot whistled
and tore through tree* and bones. The ground
became literally paved with the fallen. Yet the
• leairiaut stood composed and urquailing, care
■liy loading, steadily”aimuig, unerringly firing,
and then quietly looking t.ieee ’he eflect ot the.r
shots. Mere boys fought liko veterans—unsx
f'ited, save with that stern ‘ white beat.” tlv.ue
j less vxbiierati'>n, that battle gives to brave
• ■
After eight or ten rounds the reg.meut sp-
I peared annihilated. The order was given to
) tease firing and retire. The stubborn fellows
gave no heed. It was repeated. Still no obe
dience. The battle spirit was up. Again it
was given. Three v olleys had beeu fired after
the first command. At length they retired
walking and fighting. Owiug to the density of
the growth, a part of the regiment were separa
: ted from the others. The other part formed in
•m open field behind the thicket. The retreat
j continued fover ground alternately wood and
field. At every open spot they would reform,
pour a volley into the pursuing et.eaty and again
retire.
From the accounts of the enemy ‘who stopped
to give water to the wounded aud rifle the dead
it •ccnis that the 3th cut to pieces the Ctb Mas
sachusetts, half demolished the Rhode Island
ers, and made deadly havoc among the regu
| lari.
But a horrible mistake oce.irred at this point.
Their own friends taking them for ’.the enemy,
poured a fatal fir* upon their mutiilaled rauks.
At length they withdrew from the fight. Their
I final roily was with sixty men of th* six
! hundred men they took in. Balaklsva tells no
j more heroic tale than this; “into the valley of
1 death marched the six hundred.”
As they retired, they passed Gen. Beauregard,
who drew aside, fronted, raised his hat and said
* I salute the Sih Georgia Refiment.”
Gen. Beautegard caused three traitors to
Wo hung recently, having received the most in
j iubitable evidence of their treachery. On* of tb#
j parties was an engineer on the Manassas Gap
j Kailrode, another a preacher of the Goepel, and
, the third farmer They had all furnished valu
* able aid t*> the enemy.

RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE.
Rn uMoxn, Ya., July 2g.
U # have again, this morning, in our city pa-
I*ers, the moft minute and thrilling account* of
th# battle of Manassas. They may all be sum
med up in a few (idcs — the annals of history, an •
cieut or modem, furnish no parallel to the in
domitable courage, the daring, almost reckless
bravery, und the letal, though glorious results
of this mighty conflict. The 7th eud Slh Geor
gia Regiments occupy a proud preeminence in
this morning’s details. The Nth, in their last
charge, before retiring from the field, consisted
ol only sixty out es the six bundled which but
a few hours before withstood and repulsed a
charge of 2elMl Federal*. While the lewnant of
this gallant regioieut were retreating from the
field they passed Gen. Beauregard. Taking off
bis hat, “1 will salute the Georgia 3th,’’ said be.
“with uiy hal off.” Leading up the 7th, Col.
Warirelt inquired of lien. Bartow, “where shall
l lead my regiment ! Taking (be regimental
colors in his band, the brave Bartow replied to
the Colonel, “Follow me and I will show yon.”
Conducting them to a position exposed to a
raking fire of a heavy column of the enemy, the
General said* “Gen. RwauregarJ desires the Geor
gia 7th to h.dd ibis petition,” and they did hold
it. The Oglethorpe company of avannab, of
which Gen. Bari w was, at one time, the almost
idolized Captain, suffered severely, but fought
with unparalleled heroism in the several charges
made by the regiment. Without descending more
minutely into details, let it suffice t * say that
when the history of this revolution shall be writ
ten, Georgia will occupy owe of the proudest
pages in the annals of the war. And when oar
brave troops at Vorktown, under the gallant Ms
gruder, get through with Picayune Butler, the
Georgia boys at that point will be nothing be
hind tbair braveci mpatriots at Laurel Hill. Rich
Mountain and Manassas. Their deeds wiil not
mar the glorious page which will chronicle the
daring achievement* of the 7th and Th i: Ma
nassas.
In my Sunday letter (yesterday’* t I gave you,
iu substance, all the telegraphic dispatches
published in th* city papers, this morning. We
have nothing to-day except a confirmation of
yesterday's telegrams that Gen. Wise has been
forced to evacuate Charleston, and that place is
now occupied by some IS.uoo troops under Gen.
Ksencrant7. Ueu. Wise must be strongly reiu-
I forced before be can give battle to th* 2o,DtfO
men that tnis Dutch adventurer can bring into
I the field against him: but your readers may be
assured of one thing, and I refer them to my past
lettersantieipating results, and the results them
selves as they •übaequently irauq ired, a aeon
| fcden.e iu what f say. th# enemy, under their
1 Dutch leader r under any otbar leader, will
never reach Staunton as conqurers, if th# spirit
i that is & >w firing ib* hearts of our gallant cham
pions from Georgia, North and South Carolina,
: and Louisiana, in a word, from evary Elate in
, tha Confederacy, continues to animat* the South
ern heart. Fvery day brings regiments or bat
j talioos, or cmpaniei from one or others of our
| aister States. Last Saturday Mobile sent us her
splendid flying artillery of about twenty pieces.
They cam# here from Pensacola and passed di
-1 rect through Richmond to Manassas by land.—
j This is tb* celebrated “Mobil# Flying Artillery”
j s# long the rival of the * New Orleans Wa-bing
’ Artillery,” in the brilliant execution of patri
tic achieTeius&ls. They are n w both together
; tor action on the same field—somewhere in the
| vicinity of Washington mark my prediction,
and the cotiqUy ’*J indulge the utmost confi
dence that both will reflect glory upon our arms
(and an ini mortality of fame upon themselves.
It is fortuuat* for our cause in Europe that

whelming defeat at Maaasaa*. (ntlecd, the ller
i aid that went t” Europe by the last steamer,
c >n\eys minute details of the battle, and states,
! among other things, that so terrible was the de
, struction of the Federal army, that, under the
most favorable circumstance*, Gao. Ecott *uuld
not get np another sueb an army before let* in
tb* fall, while the Confederates ire pushing rap

.Several risings of (he people in Maryland are

The phib i .pher of the New York Tribune
J ayj “W'-n’i dot” Do in-.re.” after the f..11 wing
fashion:
1 wirh to be iietiorii? understood as not
seeking to !•* relieved from any responsibility in
1 urging the advance of the Union Guard Army
into \ irginia, though th* precise phrase “For
ward to Richmond"’ is wot mine, and 1 would
, have preferred not to iterate it. I thought that
that army, one hundred thousand strong, might
have been in the Rebel capital on or before ihe
20th Inst., while l felt that there were urgent
1 reasons why it should be there if possible And
’ now, it any •■no iaisg.nc* that I, or any on#
j connocted with the Tribune, ever commended
or even imagined aay surii strategy as the
launching of barely thirty thousand of theone
hundred thousand Union V olunteers within fitly
miles of Washington against ninety thousand
rebels, enveloped in a labyrinth of strong en
trenchments and un reconnoitered masked batte
ries, then demonstration would be lost on hit
closed ear. But I will not dwell on thi. If I
am needed as a scape goat for all tho mditary
blunders of tb# past month, so be it. Individu
als must die that the nation msy live. If I can
serve her best io that capacity, I d-> not shrink
from the ordeal.
Henceforth, I bar all criticism in these col
umns on army movements, past or future, unless
• omebody should undertake to prove that Gen.
Patterson is a wise and brave commander, li*
seems to have non* to speak his praise* so if
I aaythingti. b* sai l m his behalf. 1 wilt
make an exception in his favor. Other than this
j the subject is closed and staled Correspondents
j and reporters may state faefis. but must forbear
; comtneots. 1 know that there is truth that vet
remains to be uttered on this subject, but this
I aper bes done its full share- ell that it ought,
and perhaps more than it could afford t.> do—
and henceforth stands back for other-, Only I
beg to be understood—once for all—that if less
than ball the Union armies directly at hand ars
hurled against all th* rebel force* that could be
c. a<*entrated—mere than double their number—
j on pound especially chosen and strongly forti
tified by the traitors, th* Tribnn* doe# not ap
prove and should not beheld responeitle for such
madness. Say what yen please of the past, but
renu mber this for the future, theugh we keep
silence.
Now let the wolves howl on! I do not believe
they can goad me into another personal notice
of their raving*.

URIQ. GEN. TOOMBS.
This distinguished gentleman, having l;j
aside the robe of State which he has so grai t
fully sustained, assumed the sword, which, in his
hands, we do not doubt will be wielded wiibsudh
telling effect as to strike terror to the hearts , •
the usurpers and deepots who seek to crush and
trample under their unhallowed teet (be liberties
of a free people.
We had the pleasure (his afternoon of paying
a visit t” the camp of the Second tfcorgi tt Rg t .
meat, C. S. Army, commanded It Colonel 1*
J.Semtnes. which constitute# part of Gen. Toomla’
brigade.
With such soldiers, commanded by such off.,
cers, Gen. Toombs will go upon the battle-field
with viotory already perched upon bis banner.-
Should the usurper’s minions dare meet them in
iuir field and open combat, they msy prepare i
sina under heavy blow# inflicted by their stalwart
arms, nerved os they are with devotion to the r
country’s cause and a determination to hurl the
ruthless invader from the sacred soil.

A Flockr Woman.—W# know of a Northern
born and Northern raised lady, who married .■•
Southern planter, and who, with her husband,
made her abode at a point just hack of a cr
tain city on the Miasiasippi river, not a hundred
thousand miles from N. Orleans. This lady ha*
never let an opportunity slip on which
could abuse anil vilify the Southern Confeder
oy. A short time since she was on board astea
mer going up troiu New Orleans, and was, a*
usual, wagging her tongue at a 2:40 rate against
our section. Among her auditory was a la.ly ~,
the true Southern grit, who listened to the La
angue, while her cheeks grew pale and red by
turns, and her teeth made deep indentations iu
her coral lips. At last, when she could standit
no Lnger, the Southern matron rose from her
seat, and walked to where the female speaker
was letting ofl her abolition gas, and. shaking
her finger iu that lady's face, slowly end Ji*
tinotly said
“Madame, I have s husband, two end
three br-dbers io the army of the Southern t\ n
tederacy. They are fighting for their country,
and if they are killed, they will die like brave
men, aud however groat the loss may be to me
1 shall have the consolation of knowing they t.
iu a good cause You are a w uiao and ‘jua
talk as you do, oecause you know that no Mouth

An attacheeof the Englisherabassey, at Wash

witnessed the fight, has arrived in Richmond.
During the progress of the battle, be inquired ot
a number of officers what would be the result of
the conflict. Each and all of them felt certain
they would win the day, except ooe. “Upon
what do you bate your opinion ?*’ inquired the
Briton. “Upon this sir,” replied the Federal
ist. “I have been watching these Southerners
ever since the battle opened, I have seen divis
ions broken, and the brigades rallying and
fighting alone. I have seen brigades broken,
and regiments rallying and fighting alone I
have seeu regiments broken, and the companies
rallying and fighting alone; and I have see.
companies broken, and the men rallying and
fighting alone. Such men, sir. will never be
whipped.” llis ju Igmeut has been abundawTlv

I have already informed you that the Grand

two daughters of Senator Wilson, of Massa hu
