Editor Savannah Republican •
liiy short letter at this titce is only to give
the i rue particulars of our last battle, at
.Uncheii s Station Near Goriousvilie Satur
day last
\i e left our cAmp at Grordonriile on tbe
<tb iust ; with two days rations and orders
to march to Culpepper Court House, some
-5 Kiiies distant, in company with
Ucn =. L well 7 ?. A P .Hill's and Jackson s,
aojamand? \\ e h-ad that the eueiTty
were forty miles distaai. After we Lai
passed over the Rapidan river the noble old
“Stonewall 7 * passed us ; for the head of kis
command. As Jackson passed, for the front,
we ail knew that a Sghr was near at hand.
After marching some six miles we fell in
with i'ankee pickets, drove them in, killed
three captured four None on our side in
jured. Here we were camped for the night,
while our cavalry could scout over the coun
try, to try to find out the position of the
enemy. At early dawn we were called up
to prepare for the day's march ; aIT
we marched oft, Gen. Early’s brigade In ad
vance, the 12th Georgia in front We
marched all day, without, iiew.-s from fne ene
my, nor did we here of their whereabouts
until the morning of the 9th, when we were
drawn up in line of battle across the vast
plains of Michell’s Station. In a few mo
merits of bomb eatne whistling over, which
we readily understood Some mile and a
half oft the Yankee cavalr}’ could be seen
drawn up in line, about a mile long No
sooner had we discovered the blue coats
thau one of our twelve pounders sent off a
round shot to tell them that Jackson was
near at hand. No reply was made and
both armies went to work preparing for that
great battle which must evidently soon com
mence. The enemy made great prepara
tions, and we remained in our line until
three oeloek iu the afternoon.
Our brigade was then ordered to move up
under the immediate eye of Gen. Jackson
to give them battle. On our side all was
joyful; the boys were chatting about home
and their sweethearts, ttc. We pressed on,
passing over fences, through corn fields, ov< r
ditches and rocks Soon we saw confusion
in the A aukees ranks, for we looked too de-
L-iunued for them. \\ hoii in about, three
hundred yards of their lines Gen. Early ad
vanced a few paces, fired his piece and fell
back, which was enough for us, and without
orders we “let drive” at them, which caused
a grand skedaddle among the blue coats.—
They fired but one gun and left as hard as
IT.l T . S. horses could bear their cowardly ri
ders off. We pressed on over the dead bo
dies of the Yankee “braves the Thirteenth
Viiginia regiment was ordered to move on
the right flank, the Twelfth Georgia in the
front, Jackson, Ewells and Early in the lead
to cheer us on, to see if Pope was the man
be was said to be. Their front was soon
made their rear guard, for their horses were
too hard to hold to see us any longer We
pressed on tm about one mile, when, passing
over a small bill, we soon discovered their
batteries. We were ordered to halt and lay
I down Soon their guns opened on us to
j drive us back, but we were there, and never
to leave until an opportunity was given to
go forward Old Stonewall left us and dar
ted off in a near wood. If it had been any
one else we would have said —coward i—but
no ) he is only gone to be heard from soon
! again. Our batteries were soon brought up
| and opened on them. Bomb after bomb
i came whistling over us, to which our artil
lery replied admirably. The cannonading
lasted forty-five minutes, while Jackson
could see if he could not play* a better game
for them During the cannonading several
of our regiment (12th Georgia) were killed
and wounded. \\ e lay there as if dead un
til firing commenced on the left flank by
Gen. A P Hill’s division, under command
of Gen Jackson, who had flanked them and
had nearly got. in their rear. We were or
dered to charge them, which we gladly obey
ed, and drove them off before under a heavy
shower of rifle balls and under a cross fire
of Hill’s command led by our Chief After
they got their artillery away the cannona
ding ceased and the 12th Ga. aud 13th Ya.
I opened on them with small arms, which was
all the go. Y\ hen we were first in sight of
the Yankees we saw nothing but cavalry and
artillery, but now these had passed away,
on their side all was anew Brigade of in
fantry after brigade was seen to fall iu and
march forward to meet the “rebel intruders ”
I never saw so many formed and on the
march in so short a time as were then seen
; over in \ ankee lines. ,Seeing there were
too many for us, the 48th Regt. Ya. Vols.
! complained to General Early, and his only
reply was . “Go on Days ; you are safe.”—
We shout aud pressed on to meet
that unmovable looking line, which was only
three hundred yards in advance. Just then
we were ordered to cease tiring, fix bayonets,
and prepare for a charge. Our atieution
was called by our General : said be, “Boys,’’
you are not alone, only look back,” whidh
we all did and discovered .a field of grey reb
els in our rear advancing at the double
quick. We opeued fire and in slow timi
pressed on L» close quarters. We fired
deadly vollies into them, to which they
bracely replied ; but in a short time great
confusion was seen in iheir lines, and we
ceased firing add came to the charge, sweep
ing the fields and mowing down the Yankees
before us as if they were only black birds
before the sportsman. They had been
i strongly reinforced, aud our reiuforcemeuts
I bad just arrived. We followed up their re*
treat over the dead and dying, aad gained a
complete victory over Pope. Our artillery
followed us up close in the rear and as the
bait staived blue coated cowards scampered
off before us, Gen Ewell commanded ns to
halt, and said to a captain of artillery : “A
httie more grape, Captain, if you please, for
lor (hay travel too fast fur cur bovs No
sooner had this order been given than it was
ebeyed, and load after load cf grape was
sem after them which earned man’:’ a Yan
kee to his long home The Yankee? finally
barted, drew up aline of cavalry which magie
a daring charge on us tone' effect; t-hev
were soon drives back, and the victor? wis
oure fur.that day.
•The Federal? fell back to their fortifica

mand on the battle field. The next day wa?
Sunday, and all was silent on both aides —*-
Both armies took positions, and Jacksofi
>ponr the day in trying to draw them out
again, but he failed. Monday was spent in
burying the dead of both sides under flag of
truce. The engagement resulted in the loss
of about 3QO killed and wounded on our
side; the loss of the enemy is known to be
over 2,000. Amoug our men who fell no

io lilt* Iff embers of iheGeiieini
«eixii>ly of Georgin,
The rights of the people to select their
public servants—men to till high places of
honor and trust—is a privilege of no ordina
ry character, aud, it properly and wisely ex
ercised, a great blessing.' This exalted
privilege, however, is sometimes used with
out due leflection and sufficient consideration,
and instead of a blessing, proves a curse.—
It, is, therefore, hoped that you will pardon
the writer lor calling your attention to a
matter of importance, uot only to you and
tuose you represent, but at great interest to
th e eulii t? t\<iitt-citsaey. -
At the meeting of the next session of the
General Assembly of Georgia you will have,
iu discharging your duties as the immediate
representatives of the people, to purforin the
high obligation electing a Senator to rep
resent, in part, the State of Georgia in the
Confederate States Senate ; and the liberty
is now taken of directing your attention to
that subject, that you may go to Miledgeville,
after having, each member for himself, fully
aud maturely reflected upon this matter, pre
pared to act in a way that will redound to
the best interest of the whole people. And
to this end, allow an humble citizen of the
State respectfully to make a few suggestions
for your consideration.
A Senator in Congress should possess cer
tain qualifications not mentioned in the Con
stitution, and which, unfortunately, are not
always enjoyed by those who occupy that
high position. He should be a sober man.
No one should be allowed to Lave a seat in
the Senate who is liable to have his mind
beclouded and his step made unsteady by
the use of intoxicating drinks. Who would
employ a man to attend to any great and
important private business, who was in the
habit of becoming drunk in his own house,
in bar rooms, or around a table with “jolly
companions.” A Senators life should show
him to be in no danger of ibis.
He should be a man of good character in
private life, of moral integrity and upright
ness—a maD on whose word great reliance
can be placed, and whose whole life shows
him to be incapable defrauding the govern
ment himself, or allowing it in others—a
man, morally honest, with a nerve to do right
and to condemn that which is wrong —one
too pure for the unprincipled and vicious to
dare approach with an overture to contenance,
even by silence, a corrupt and wicked meas
ure—one who has two high and exalted a
sense of honor and justice robe induced to
bend the knee, “that thrift may follow fawn
-7 y
mg.
A Senator should be a man of intelligence,
of general information, weli acquainted with
the history of his own country, as well as
the histories of all the most important coun
tries of Europe-—a man ot thought and re
search, ol towering aud gigantic ability, of
splendid intellect, with a well cultivated
mind ; with a capacity for any position—
surpassed oy none, equalled by few
A Senator should be a man with an abili
ty to put his thoughts in chaste, beautiful and
forcible language in writing, when necessary,
and the power to express them with force and
eloquence orally on the floor of the Senate
chamber.
A Senator should be a man who belongs
to no one —who has no master, who thinks
for himself, and has the fearless independence
to give expression to his opiniou requires.—
A man who has never made politics a trade,
nor sought office as a livelihood.
And as we now have iu the Senate from
Georgia, Mr. Hill, who was a Bell man and
uot a Secessionist, the other Senator should
be one who supported Breckinridge, and who
openly declared himself in favor of secession
iu the events of Lincoln’s election. One
who has proved his faith by bis works —who
has left home and ease and gone into the
service of the country, and has done ail iu
hi* power to aid the government to drivn
back the invader and establish our indepen
dence
A Senator should bes man of whom evo-
r -' Georgian might justly feei proud; and
whose information, intelligence, intellect,
eloquence, logic, powers of argument capac
uj ter repnr ee and invective would piace
inm so high that none would ever fear bis
ceiug overshadowed in the Senate combined
rill up the picture, the outlines of which I
( iave ?o briefly and imperfectly drawn and
say wfiether snch a man will suit vou for a
Confederate States Senator. And have we
the man 1 W e bare, and that man is Dr
H. \ M. Miller.
Y ritGr kas De * u acquainted with Dr.
Miller tor over h quarter of a century. He
Studied medicine in rhe county of Troup
with Dr. Thomas Hamilton, and graduated
ot the Medical College in Charleston, in a
of thirty-nine, with distinguished honor
—■lecei. mg a beautiful cup for the best En
glish Dissertation And being unwilling te
be merely a physician, he went to Paris,
where he spent some time in the prossecu
tiug the studies of his profession And he
has been placed in no position—whether by
the side of his patient, in the use of the
-uigeon a Knife, in the lecture room as a
Medical Professor, on the stump before the
people, or in the pulpit—where he has failed
ro display learning and distinguished ability
Lilly in the year IH6I he was invited by
the lamented Bartow to accept the position
of burgeon ot the gaiiant Mi Georgia Regi
ment and being lame from an injury received
in childhood, he was yet unwilling to shrink
ironi any duty his country might require m
the hour of her severest trial He accepted
the position, but one of his mind couid not
long be kept in a place like that Those in
authority had but to come in contract rifh
him to see that he was qualified for a more
enlarged sphere of usefulness, aud he has
risen rapidly, until he now occupies one ot
the highest positions in the Medical depart
ment of the Confederate States Army
Dr Miller has never been an office-seeker
He wa3 brought before the people of the
then Fifth Congressional District of this
State, for a in Congress in the year
1844, without his solicitation, and the peo
ple ot the district well remember with what
ability he conducted the canvass. He was
the first to advocate, so far as the writer
knows or believes, the annexation of Texas
by Congress, instead of by treaty, wbiah if
quiiea tiro concnrKeuccYit tfVf7-l h**rds’df "the
Senate. Since 1844, he has never been be
fore the people as a candidate for office seek
ing. while he holds in condemnation the
practicer ot it in others. He is incapable of
resorting to the tricks of the political dema
gogue to obtain place and power.
No one who is well acquainted with Doc
tor Miller, and who has capacity to form a
correct opinion, can fail to perceive that he
posesses, in an eminent degree, ability to
fill, with credit to himself and honor to Lis
country, any position within the gift of the
people of this State or of the Confederate
States. He has no superior, if any equal,
in the State: but few, if any, peers in the
Confederacy If such a man would not
most worthily represent the great State of
Georgia in the Senate, we can have no suita
ble representative there. Think, reflect,
consider aud act from judgement, and all
wilj be satisfied with your decision
Id conclusion, the writer thinks it proper
to add that he has seen Dr. Miller but once
in a long time, and then only foi a sow min
utes, and is entirely ignorant of hi? wishes
respecting the Senatersbip. This is written
without intimation or suggestion from any
one, and with the view alooeto subserve the
best interest of the country at a tj uj 3 SO # TP* 0“
mentous to all. One of the People
The Twelfth Georgia Regiment.— A
correspondent of the Milledgeville Recorder,
speaking of the conduct of this regiment at
Malvern Hill, thus sums up their se*vices :
The regiment which thus rushed to that
memoriabie battle field, and, without firing
a shot, lay down to rest, preparatory to storm
ing these terrible batteries on the morrow,
is the- glorious 12th Georgia, of Ewell's brig
ade. From the battle of Alleghany, it had.
fought its way up to Harper’s Ferry, and
back to Port Republic : had helped to con
quer Milroy, Banks, Fremont, and Shields;
had assisted in flanking McClellan, and in
whipping him across the Chiekahominy ; and
now after having been engaged in sixteen
regular battles, it is in at the death of the
“Grand army of the Potomac ” All glory
to the I2th Georgia ! But this is not all
Almost without resting, it has taken up the
line of march, and is now at Gordonsvilie.
The Late Gen. McClellan—McClel
lan is meeting bis fate, and are none
to pity His Governmeni is still stripping
him of his forces Henceforth he is to com
mand a squad instead of the “grand army. ‘
Henceforth he is to be second even to such
a man as Pope, until Pope, in his corn, “has
had his day.” That soothing nocturnal vis
it of Lincoln is to keep him quiet under his
humiliation It cannot be known what pro
mises Lincoln wrung from him in his agony.
Meek submission was probably one of them,
as the very best thing McClellan could do,
even for himself But oh, the bitter agonies
of the defunct Napoleon, as he thinks of
what he was going to be, and what he j?.
And, as a mere personal retribution, richly
does he deserve it. By his false dispatches,
he raised hopes which he could not meet. —
He thus prepared for himself a heavy fall,
and a pit to fall in Tie rFm entered Lin
coln’s service against Lis conscience,‘and it
is therefore fit and proper that he should
reap nothing but disgrace —Richmond En

Immediately after the reception, in this
city, oi the order from the War Dopojtment,
concerning persons subject ro military duty
who might bortempUto and attempt an es
cape from the country, in order to avoid the
impending draft. C. P- Bradley, Superin
tendent of tb3 Chicago Police, paepared to
enforce the in all cases that come with
in jurisdiction. The order was received yes
terday afternoon about 5 o'clock, and will
be toand in the telegraph column of the
Times this morning. Between that hour
*cd sunset <yuite a number ot men in the
city, not liking the appearance of things
military Jbereabouts, prepart and to lea re for
Canada,?or some other portion of the globe
where drafting is uot at present a ncedl'ui
regulation.. But unfortunate y for the.'* 1
would be eucUtsiouiats tin; vigilant* eve f
the newly constituted Provost Marshal u >?
u P° n theta. Learning that there w, ni l
probably bet stampede, at night, by the
Michigan Central and Michigan Southern
Railroads, Captain Bradley took the preeau
tion to have a posse of his men stationed at
each depot, a short time before the departure
of the evening train
Capt Nelson of the hist prccint police
was stationed with a posse of the p dice at
the Michigan Central depot, while Sergeant
Bcade had an inferior force at the Michigan
Southern depot. At eight o'clock both
trains were entered, and a rigid scrunit y was
had of ail outgoing passeugers This resul
ted m the arrest of thirty men, who had
tickets to Detroit, and who were at one* ta
keu in custody and marched under guard to
the Central police station, for further ex
i animation A few of those arrested, how
! ever, wen* soon discharged, having furnished
satisfactory evidence of their lo \ alty. Mn t
of them, however weie deemed guilty of at
tempting to escape from the jurisdiction of
the i uited States, contrary to the order from
the War Department. They were accord
ingly confined in the county jail for the
night, and this morning will be conveyed to
Camp Douglas, sworu into the service, and
made to do military duty for the teim speci
fied in the order for the draft
Two propellers, the Gelena and Acme,
left tliis port yesterday afternoou, loaded
with p*eoengero, moat ol them v*ho are -Uj
posers io‘ be on their way to another clime
i A tug wa.-: dispatched last evening in search
of these propellers, with orders to bring
them to, and take in custody all persons un
able to give satisfactory reasons for their de
parture. This game ; however wiii be block
aded to-day, as a tug carrying a six pound
cannon, will be stationed at the entrance of
the harbor, and overhaul every passenger
boat and vessel that passes out.
Our citizens may as well bring their
fiioiids to a realiz.»«iun of the fact that ( ni
cago is virtually- under martial law. Cap
tain Bradley is now clothed with the pow
ers of a provost marshal, and in future no
male citizen between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five will be permitted to I av< the
city, or on any route leading east, or on an*
of the lake boats, without a pass from the
proper source.
We find that this sudden arres* of fuga
tives, in conforrni y to the new rrder, will
operate as a complete cheek upon all at
tempts to escape from tb'> country to avoid
-tfct draft. The authorities are in ezrm-it
about this matter, and such cowardly ‘•nr
iDg as was manifested la>t night »nd during
the whole of the past week will be at once
stopped.
This running away from duty has been
practiced in most instences by wealthy men,
while the poor men have been left t her rue
the victims of the draft. In future there
will be no more sneaking, nn more running
away, no matter what may be the wealth of
the individual.
The orders from the War Depaitment,
suspending the writ of habeas corpus, ana
providing for the arrest of persons guilty of
treasonable utterances or attempts to leave
the country, will also be found in our tele
graph column.
A Note From Sam Houston, Jr.,
the Son-in-Law Imposture — Tt*
following note from Sam. Houston, Jr , *ou
of the hero of San Jacinto, throws some
doubt upon the assertion made some Ums
since that Gen Houston was dead :
To the Editor of the Chicago Times :
L have heard that a man calling himself
Rev. Charles Clark, and professing to be a
son of ex-Gov. Clark, of'lVxas, arid son-in
law of General Sam. Houston, lately made
some statements concerningthe alleged death
of his father-in-law, at a public meeting
held in Boston
Now, this reverend gentleman is certain
ly an impostor of the blackest dye, as Gov
Clark’s eldest child is a boy twelve years of
age, and my eldest sister is but a little girl
at school. I left home last March, and try
father, Gen. Houston, was then in better
health than he had been for years.
I am reapectfuily.
