id t* march over a month almost night and
lay, and oh for lighting, there i* ecarcely a Jay
passe* over our heads without hearing the rat
ling of musketry and roaring of cannon: not a
luy passes hut we see some poor sold'er sent to
bis last resting place, or badly wounded We
iiavo fullered much lor want of time to cook our
food properly U often inarch all day and
until 10 or 11 o’clock at night, and then have
irder* to cook two day* rations, and !>.• ready
to march at two o'clock in the morning. It is
usfJex* though lor u soldier to grumble.
Oar regimen 1 was sent o Front Uoyal to
gu:ird some commi-s9ay *toren. Altogether we
did not number 4Ut* men. Gen. Shields attacked
u one morning with yOOd men. We had to re
treat towards Winchester. The enemy marched
into Front Royal just as we were marching
<>ut. VVo had three- bridge* k tu cross and a long
trail of wagons to protect. VVo had a small
-quadof cavalry to scout for us and give us
iiuiely notice of the approach or the Yankees;
but through ignorance or cuwurdice they run
Iroin the enemy, and run over our men vrLen
crossing the fecund bridge, and the Yankee cat •
airy in close pursuit. While wo l were crowded
up together on the bruise, the latter charged on,
line. We had no . rue: to lire, the Colouei'r
horse having run away with him; but when tve
loand the Yankee cavalry in our lin* .rustmg and
slashing with their swords wo waited no longer
I r urders and tired into them killing eight and
capturing one. Some of our men were cut off
ou the other side of the river. Captain Furlow’s

Not u Federal soldier is to be see* about the

Wednesday m.miug passed several soldiers a
short distance below the city, who seemed to be
listlosrtiy walking about, without disturbing

Kcderals tetuoved . mall quantity ol cotton,

papers left behind destroyed, aud scattered ‘over
the streets
The Federal lure© wa* being slowly augmen
ted by tresh arrivals, and it was reported that a
body of sixteen hundred cavalry had udvati, ml
to the neighborhood of Kaieigh. In conversa
tion with * i -omiuem gentleman, Oil. Fitch
boasted that thay weald have a force of fifty
thousand men, for the purj ose of .q era ting
South, making Memphis the base of operations.
The movements he, indicated would ho down

aud the river, which b thought would leave tbe

The umo in up—the die is can, aod me fate
of Vicksburg is seated. With the evacuation
of Fort Pillow followed the foil ot Memphis,
otic: a gailaut hut unsuccessful defense above
the city by our cotton ffeet, under Gen. JefT.
Thompson and Capl. Ed. Montgomery. Wo
had hoped that our government would hold
the river above Memphis as iong as wo kept
the enemy at buy here; hut it has seen fit to
do otherwise, uud now’ the contest for this
important stream 1* almost closed. VW had a
perfect confidence in the ability of our force*
here (o rend any attack of the enemy's wooden
fleet from below, but we cannot expect them
to successfully cope with u combined attack
(rout above and below. All tbe ‘ither towns
on the river hnve fa lieu nt< > their baud©, and
now their whole force will be concentrated
here. Our city urust, tucreforo, we think, soon
Tall into the hand* of the enemy, aud coaae
quciitly it rw*hooves the people to calmly con
template the realities around them. Civil,
political and individual liberty uil not ouiy he
destroyed, but nil traces of freedom oblitera
ted. Conquest, booty, revenge and destruc
tion of our institutions urr the motives which
animate the miserable hordes which are now
cloeiur in arouud ua.
Tb*c who intend to remain here under the
rod of tyranny mu.it make up tyoir minds te go
through a lisry ordeal, for when the foe get* full
possession of the city he will “put the foot down
llrmly.” Every uiau roust in thane trying time*
judge and act for himself, pursuing that course
which a free, educated, high spirited jmd ebival-*
rio people, struggling against great odds for the
preservation of their birthright of land and liber
ty, should aud always do pursue.
But wo would remark that all should gusri
well againsttbkiug the oath to support the Fed*
era’ government. Let none prove so icereunt to
our oause—none to far forge> themselves as to
bn forced to svrear allegiance to a government
so obnoxious to every Boutborn heart. Sooner
would we welcome our wiuding sheet—eoouer
would we suffer inoarcoration iu a dungeon, and
allow our boons to rot there than swoar allegi
ance to the Yankee government and its suppor
ter - in their unholy crusade.
Wo would advise all men, of all classes, to let
no idle tears take possession o! them. The man
who fear’ ceases to be a man, ana ute people
who doubt endanger their cause. Energy and
concerted action, with brave spirits and gallant
leaders, will yet secure for our people all they de
sire. Liberty is not to he purchased in the market
ot venal, political gamblers, hat with the best
blood of the land. All will yet be safe, if we oon
duct ourselves with calm resolution, sustained
fortitude and mutual confidence.— YicJflmry

The iti'olligenee from the line* of the oppos
ing armies yesterday was barren of all interest.
On our side the usual tiatu < was preserved, but
McClellan was reported to >* lulling bade from
hit original position occupied after the battle,
hut the only reasonable ground upon which this
presumption was based was the fact that the ad
vino* J pickets of the eutuny were withdrawn at
Afivera 1 points. There was no firing of moment
throughout ibe day.
There was nothing additional received yester
day at the War Department euuoerning General
Jackson's recent victories and his subsequent
movements in the Valley.
We converse! last night with several of the
pickets on the lines, aDd they state that It was
the general impression that MoClellaa was ta
king up another position several miles removed
from our lines. They could distinctly bear
much confusion in their camps and the rumbling
of cannon carriages and wagons struok on the eat
occasii nally daring Wednesday night sad yester
day morning. The position assumed, if he has
really moved baok, la evidently one fortified un
der the cover of Yankee pickets and batteries
advanced several days ago. Time will develop
his positions if they are, not already known to
gar wsßernJi.—hxaauier, 13th.

i We learn from a gentlemnn recently Irom the
[Neighborhood of New Or<eou that the oiliaeu*
ol Terrebonne i'un*b, La , lately hung two of
Butler'* marauders at IJotintan in mat parish;
in cousequence of which Picayune Butler
sttt.toned a force of I.uOO Yankee* tiethat part
of lb© State, composed of the Parish©* of A*-
ceneion, Assuuiption, Lnhoirche, nnd Terre*
tioune- nioatly along tbe JB-yous LsFourche
and Terrebonne, aod the hue n( the New Or
•atiH, Upelouaa* end Ore-t Wentern Rah

The tfenileuieii who tried and ordered the
execution of the Yankee msraudere, iubse
quently took to the eWnmps, and or# said lo fee
oigaaulQg a rerju dt rnlUarue, under the title
ol Swamp Ranger*. Several of them have
pasted through Knoxviife, cn route tor Rich

Captain • —-, formerly commanding a com
pany in the i'reux Battalion of Louitana. ha*
started frotn Jaekson for tbe some point, for
the purpose of lending a hand in organising
leewtatice to the \ankee invader*.
Bronx© John has arrived in New Orleans,
und is doing effective service ,n the Confede
rate cause. There were over fifty cases o
yellow fever in the Chanty Hospital,tbe linger
proportion of whom were Yankee soldiers.—
In consequence, Butler is containing hie troop*
in th# surrounding pHi/shes aud along the
coast.
The plantations ol flen. Bragg nod folk and
Henry Quitman, son of thr late Oeo.iiuiKfi.iU
and many others, had been taken pose-don

The English people look now with voice
hope for a speedy end of th© war by u result
they have all sloeg declared impossible- -the
. onquest of the South. They arc also looking
for s treineudr.ua liimu. isl crisis in the North.
The peopfe oi f.urr.i.e carino’ understand tbe
manner in which u Government ©an g>> on
month alter month with the most lavish aud
enormous expenditures, without revenue? or
taxation.
They predicted a failure of the rmi h uionih

it otn i a on; and when stocks rise, and tb© pub
li. ©r©dU grows atioager, they ©ompar© it to the

have beta f<# Lancashire and luofcotPopon its
suffering- and distteas. It is be trending in
its character and appalling in its eatanl. No
on# con tell what may be the result. The Oo
veroment may be forced to action which If does
0 .. t bow contemplate. Halt a million of people
reduced to starvation, is a volcano that may
hunt into eruption. Ihe Irish starved peaceful
ly, because it was said they were used to starve*
tioo. Th< operatives of Lane** sue have not
been arcastomad to it. They know (bat th
Govnrnmeu* could give them relict the only
relief they desire labor, it would uut be
strange if they demanded lu Ip io a manner that
no government could realtt. The first sign of
action will be a change ol adruiui t ration, unless
the proMWit government chooses to avoid such a
change, by n change of policy. But it cannot
bare escaped yoor observation that the only
organs ol public opinion hare favorable to the
.North, hav boon the extreme liberal papers,
while the entile moderate, conservative and tory
press has been in sympathy with the South, and
the more violent nd decidedly Tory the paper,
tbs stronger has been Us opposition to the
Union.

When I closed my letter on Monday evening,
1 was uoi aware that Ouv. Letcher had revived
a dispatch nhou’ ?*•> o'clock from * Hannan, an
nouncing that, menough Dwelt Lad bean victo
rious, Jackson would have m abandon the Val
ley, unless be wan .juc.kly reinforced. This
scuaded rather gloomy, but, between lu and 11
“'dock, came other dispatches, announcing Jack
son's victory uvor Shields. Old ftunewail him
self ooaflrins the.*<* <M*pat< he*. He “ays he has
“routed” the enemy —a et;<.ug term for him.-*
ttelnforoomeuts ere <m th< .<• w ? n . ui large
numbers, but enough, <i ,cy euru awuiin time,
to enable the old fellow , do • “rvrht peart
chance” of businee?.
Dispatches tivro fttuaaton to-day rate that
Fremont has beeu reinforced, and holds his posi

Hbieldi has been rotated ootnp'utely as Banks

forgive Jackson fur ttghiiog, and forget me rag*
luVj which he fell lasi w ter ou a< ouet of Jack

he this,, for, in addition to the force*
already sent the Valley, others were sent this
morning the en -; re transportation on the Dan

To the Peopl# of Louisiana:
The Genera) commanding the troops of the
Cnited Statos, now holding possession of New
Orleans, issued tho followind order on the lfith
instant:
“A* the offioevs and soidier* of tbe United
Stotes have beei subject to Jnsults
from the worr.on ihemiepwi'f ladles) of
New Orlcaop, in roiurn for tbe dSfi>st .4orupulos

ordered that hereafter, when any female sbali by
word, gesture or movement, insult or show coo
temp I for any officer or soldier *f tbe United
States, she shall be regarded sod held liable to
be treatod as a woman of the town, plying her
avocation.
‘‘By command of Maj. Geu. BuUor.' -
The annul* of warfare botwnon civilised ca
tions afford no similar lii.-tar.ee of infamy to this
order. It is thus proalaimud to tho world that
the exhibition of any disguut or rroulsfvtnea*
by the women of New Orleans tu th© h<ited in

ajust iff cation to a brut a. soldiery for. the indul

from his headquarter-, announce* to his inso
lect foUwwer* that they are at liberty to treat as

daughters, of our oitkeos, if. by wr.rd, gesture,

his vengeance but unarmed men an<L helpless
women.
Louisianians! will you suffer such foul con
duct of your oppressors to p h*s unpunished?—
Will you permit such indignities to remain uo
avenged? A mind so debased as to he capuble
of conceiving the alternative presented in this
order must be fruitful of inventions wherewith
to pollute humanity. Shameless enough to .al
low its publication in the city, the atrocities
rountesancod by it will be multiplied in tha
country. Its inhabitants must arm and strike
or the insolent victors will offer this outrage'to
your wives, your suiters aud your daughters.—
Possessed of Now Orleans by mean of his su
perior naval force, he caunot penceute ibe in
terior if you resolved to prevent it* It does not
require a force of imf-osing magnitude to impede
bis progress. Companies of experienced woods
men in every exposed locality, with their trusty
j rifles and shot guns, will his invading
; column.*-. deprive him of hie pilots, and assure
hitu he i’ bn the country of au enemy. At
proper points larger forces will be collected, but
every man can be a soldier to guard the ap
proaches to bi he tue. Organize then quickly. -
If your enemy attempt tu proceed into the in
terior let his pathway be marked by his blood.-
It is your homes that you have to defend. It is
! the >ewel of yonr hearths, the chastity of poor
won.en you have to guard. Let that thought
animate y*>o r breast, nerve yoararms, quicken
yout energies and inspire your resolution. Btrike
bouk- to ihe heart of yonr foe the blow that
ride ywur vonnrrr of hie presence. If need be,
let bis blood moisten your'own grave It will
rise up before your children as a peroe.ual me
men to of a race wnetu it will teaob to hare now
and evermore.

We lay Ud'crv readers this moralng an Lin
portatit uispatcb, announcing that (sea. Jieoi.re
gard and staff *rw on their way to Richmond,
and that the greater part of the army will soon
follow. ffs have aeon expecting as much
ever sine# ijen. Price poised through here oh
his way to Hivhraoui a week ago; indeed, w*
iiave been una v.e t j see aow there could he any
more light .og out West. Beauregard's amstorly
tetrcht from Corinth knocked every Yankee cal
eolation into pi, and wan equally as disastrous
to their cause and dci-iga* as a severe drubbing,
while the loss or damage to us was very slight.
The Yankees are not going tv light us uwuy
from water, man open field We felt sure Ha!
leek would uot follow Uvauregurd when bo lott
Corinth; aud he would uot penwtrate any further
into the interior if tbo wnoie army wore with
drawn. Lot Beauregard he ent to Richmond,
Kragg to Cuntborlund Gap, und Prico over in-.o
Arkansas. There Is chance to do something
at these points.
P. B.—Sinoe the foregoing whs in type, we
have converted with an ottosr m Bouuregard's
army, who says it was understood in the army
two week# ego, that he und his command were
going to Virginia. This officer left Montgomery
Monday. Beauregard was then expected at that
place, it was also understood that he was going
to take command of Btooewall Jackson's De
partment.
We recollect that Beauregard is under u prom
ise to the Ladies of Haltimoro to carry baek te
that oity m tin Dug which they presented to
him, and ; liftl It in triumph over their down
trodden metropolis.
