VOLUNTEERS, i Fredekicksburu Virginia, • Aug. 23d, 1S63. ) Dear Father: This is the Sab,bath, and. I do not know how I can better employ a portion of it,than by acknowledging tbc re ceipt of your kind letter of the 2nd inst., wlijcli L received a week since, and read with sincere pleasure. It was the first 1 Lad heard from any of you, for more than two months. I am glad of my ability to inform you of my excellent health, and nmst sincercly^vish this may find yourself and the family, also, well. 1 have very little in thdNvay of war news to give you. Mead has withdrawn his main annv back to the north side of the upper Rappahannock, and as Gen’l Lee has not made any effort to follow him, but on the contrary is granting a limited number ol J furloughs, tbc prevailing impression is, ad- verse to an early' conflict of arms. 1 lie j Northern papers infoim us that Mead lias M iit twenty thousand of bis army to the! N'urth, principally to New York, to enforces the draft and to . collect and forward con-* scripts. I am inclined to think Mead will act strictly on the defensive, until bis army is largely' recruited, and if be waits to col lect and drill the new levies, and Gen’l Lee chooses to let him alone, we may have a long season of inaction. I should be glad to see such a state of quiet in this ar- mv, unless, indeed, we could, by attacking, rout the Federal army' and drive them Lack on Washington before be has tiirfe to recruit. We have nothing to lose by in action. We are gathering strength every day Lv the return of deserters, and the volun tary enlistments of men from 40 to 4-3 years, besides, 1 am well satisfied, it the exam ples of all history are true, that time will Lave to settle this ditficulty. Of course, more or less fighting bad to be done and ’■' ill vet have to be done, but to act strictly on the defensive and avoid unncccessaiy j effusion of blood, will enable us to offer a | much more protracted and succcssiul re- J sistance. But I am very averse to that modtfof defensive resistance that continu ally retires at tlie approach of the enemy. It is tlKily gratifying to read such a let ter as yours. You understand and appro bate the difficulties of our situation, and are still hopeful of the final issue vciy far different in tone and spirit, are most of tlie letters that reach the army’ from home. Most of them are despoudent, and a gicut many speak of success, as not at all proba ble. Such a course Is calculated to do our cause infinite injury. It encourages the en- emy.wbileit discourages our own soldiciy. To doubt our final success is bad enough ; t i publicly express such doubt is Treason t) the cause, because it gives “ aid and comlort” to the enemy’, and goes-furtlier to whip our armies than the Federal legions. L is passing strange that the people at L unc, are whipped before the soldiers. ■ Ley, who have endured all, suffered all, (| f hardships, privations, battles &c,at least so far as this army is concerned, are just ■n hopeful of the result as they were the '-ay they left their homes and array’ed themselves under the Confederate Hag. 1 his is in strange contrast with those who hive suffered none of these, and yet are "hipped. The Blockaders and craven ex tortioners have done as much tor our de ltas Yankee bayonets, but cannot do as inueli as the moral dou'btings of our honest farming class of citizens. It is true wc. have met with reverses, but not sucb aj> s tmuld discourage a people who deserve to he free. The loss of Tort Hudson and ^ icksfiurg will never result as much to the Lss of the Confederacy as lias the fall of f °rt Donelson, which was tho key to * ennessee. The Mississippi river will nev- be worth a farthing to Northern com merce, for ten years, if this war should cou- thine so long. On the west hank we have garrison them, while we can prevent incur sions into the interior with much smaller forces, than now takes to defend them. Besides, it will dry r up the source of our greatest evil—“ blockading.” But admit them to ho serious disasters—they, with children. Not in the simmering still, over smoky tires choked with poisonous gases, surrounded with the steneli of sickening odors and corruptions doth your Father in Heaven prepare the essence of life—tlie pure cold water; hut in the green gladq and grassy dell, where the red deer wan ders, and the child loves to play, there God brews it; and down in the deepest valleys where the fountain murmurs and the rills sing, and high up- other greater ones will not dishearten this | on the mountain tops, where the naked granite army’, but the doubting and misgivings of those who raise us bread, will discourage us, and if such would only’ reflect, what a power for woe such thoughts exert, they would, i( they are good patriots,banish such unmanly fears. I am as hopeful as any one.

Lee. issued to his army from Chambersburg, l J a., Juno 27tli. pays that officer the highest compliment that could be bestowed upon a brave and Christian commander. It declares that Gen. Lee had every temptation to retaliation upon the non-comba tants of Pennsylvania which burning cities, the thricks of helpless fugitives, and the shouts of Montgomery’s pursuing demons in his own land could offer, and the world would pronounce that the North bad merited it by the vandalism of its own armies in the South. But “Gen. Lee has disdained to copy after so foul a model, or to com pete with Butler, aud such as he, in the struggle for undying infamy. In doiug so, “he lias gain ed the noblest victory the Confederates have won from us—the vitcory they have achieved on our own soil, aud more damaging to our reputa tion than any gained by them from Bull Run to Chancellorsville.” * » # “Gen. Lee has (in this) done more for his own fame and his country’s glory than by all bis military achieve ments:’’ The Record continues; He knew that Jackson bad been given to the flames, and Darien laid in ashes; he knew that Southern towns bad been shelled without being called upon to surrender, and Southern planta tions levelled in very wontonness—and yet no answering flames flung their fiery glare upon the Peiiusylvania' sky; no emolative wrecks cum bered, with their unsightly masses, Pennsylvania soil, and no unheralded shells carrying death within it, fell bursting amid the maids and mat rons, the old men and blooming children of Penn sylvania. Before you endeavor to undertake the magnanimity of this conduct, ask yourself. O rea der, could you, under like circumstances, have acted in like manner. Could you have turned from the blighted fields of your devastated sec tion and left the fruitful, smiling valleys of the South uninjured. The man that could, can un derstand the noble conduct of Gen. Lee; tbe man that could not can at least admire it. Who could blame the Confederate commander if, with these remembrances rankling in his mind, lie bad yielded something to the temper of his troops aud the weakness of human nature? Cer tainly not we. Gen. Lee could have taken terri ble revenge for all the excesses committed by Fed eral soldiers, and we were debarred by our own conduct from appealing to the public opinion of the nations. He would havo been justified by the laws of war in retaliating. Humanity is bis debtor for having forborne to do so. God forbid the time should ever come when the North will be insensible to the magnamity of such conduct that will do more for Lee’s glory than if he had overrun the North from the l’otomac to the Lakes. He has “crushed out” retaliation, he has made it impossible lor any Union officer who does not desire tojbe consigned to eternal infamy to do as i Montgomery and others of that stripe hive done.
