Or;r Swiilirrs at iiloiur.
f.npit. Kenan, of the 1st Ga. Regulars, sligbtlv
wounded at Manassas is at home on a short visit
to iiis tamilj’. He looks as if he liad seen hard
service iu the last two mouths. His command
has soil; red heavily, and his escape through so
nmny ba'tles is almost miraculous. We trust Iip
may soon be restored to his usual health, and that
his visit may be pleasant.
Capt. Caraker of the Blues, wounded at Sharps-
burg, iu the leg, is also at homo. We have not
seen him uut. We hope to see him soon, in all
his former strength and manhood. Ho has also
seen hard service. 1 le had unite a time of it hob
bling oh of tlie hold—using two planks for crutch
es as long as he could stand it—impressing a boat
on the river, and an oid stumbling horse which
gave him a fall and hurt his other leg. But he
finally got to U inelscster after many trials by the
way.
Private Hendricks, of the Baldwin Volunteers,
wounded severely in the shoulder at Manassas,
has just reached home. He looks quite feeble,
but is improving. We wish him a speedy ricov-
ery, and better luck next time.
We were also pleased to meet Serg’t R. Jones,
who was wounded at Sbarpsburg. s'
Clothiag for the Soldier*.
e ate glad to see the public mind has been
impressed by the appeals of the press in behalf of
our soldiers. The people are waking up. But
they are not fully aroused, if wo did not ted
that n was a duty incumbent on us to keep this
subject prominent, we should certainly dismiss it
from onr columns Bot it is n . time to cover up
the truth. Our soldiers are suffering already; but
what will their con if ion he two months ahead, if
they be not supplied with suitable clothing! As
” e * re fi ,eor K Ii ins. as we are Christians, as we are
at lers, we soould come up to this work with an
energy, liberality and enthusiasm that shall know
no cessation until every effort has been made, in
behalf of our army, that can be made. We will
j not attempt to work on the sympathies of men,
j hy P or f»ying the hardships of the poor soldier
hs ie £008 forth, ill clad, in snow and ice, to the
post of duty’, or lies down afterwards on the cold
earth w ith no blanket or other covering to keep
bis body and soul together. We call on men to
do these things because it is tluir duty. It is their
duty to provide clothing for the soldier, arid the
i min who shirks this duty is worse than an infidel.
Talk not of high prices—is there anything dearer
than blood The humblest soldier who poors
out his life s blood in defence of his country, lias
spent that which tho wealth of the Indies roold
not buy Men and women of Georgia, it is your
duty to keep the soldier well clothed. It is your
interest—aye. vital interest: for on the strong arms
and stout hearts of the soldiers bang all that yon
hold dear. Liberty and l fe are at stake. Do your
whole duty, and leave the consequences with God.

We may reasonably expect that the enemy will,
the coming winter attempt to take (iavannah and
Mobile, and by means of their gunboats, endeavor
to penetrate into the interior of the States of
eorgia and Alabama. They will also endeavor
to overrun and subjugate the States of Louisiana
and Florida. Are we prepared to meet and re.
pulse them at these points! We have had the
whole snmtm r to prepare for them: have we im
proved the time? If not, we had better hasten
our preparations as fast as possible. It will not
do to rely upon a want of courage or enterprize
in our enemies. We made that mistake last win
ter, and paid dearly for the blunder. In this war
both the North and the South, have been in the
habit of underrating the power of their adversa.
ries, and both have paid dearly for their folly. If
the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers are not ob
structed now when we have ati opportunity they
will again penetrate and overrun the State of
Tennessee, and cut us off from Kentucky. Per
haps those in authority are doing all that is nec
essary to meet all of these contingencies. We
hope they are. We hope Gen. Bragg will ob
struct the Tennesiee and Cumberland rivers,
whilst he has achat ce, but we f ar he will be too
slow. We hop-and trust, also, that Savannah

is another regiment, tho Jrtth, in a brigade com
manded by one General Archer, but to w hat corps

1 have been unable to ascertain This distribu
tion of the regimeuts from Georgia is rendered ne
cessary by the large number of troops we have in
the field, and the small number ol brigade com
manders who have been appointed from the State.
Add to all these difficulties the further fact that
tlie army seldom occupies iu its i ncampments a
space less thau ten miles square, and that in pass
ing from one portion of it to another yon have to
exhibit your pass and tender no accouut of your
self, and you may form some conception ot the
trouble one meets with in his peregrinations

He was a brave and gallant spirit.
Alas I many a chivalric son of the South now

beneath the shadow of the majestic Blue Ridge,
and upon a field made forever glorious by their
blood aud gallant deeds. Let the bleeding hearts
at homo remember this, and that the soldier never

His precious dust will be gathered up in the last

Our loss in all tue engagements is estimated at ‘

much heavier. Their loss at Pocahontas was ;
equal to that at Corinth. Our loss may be over I
