AEMY CORRESPONDENO E
Of the Savannah Republican.
Richmond, July 29ib, 1953.
It has been my desire to furnish you a con
nected and intelligible account of the series of
battles fought in front of Richmond just one
month ago, especially of the part taken by the
troops from your own noble Slate, but thus far
I have not been able to do so. I had hit upon
a plan, notwithstanding the p * vailing order of
Gen. Johnston, which pro mi? ito be success
ful, but simultaneously with i .v arrival here, a
considerable portion of the army was put in
motion, and it is now many min s distant. Ton
■will not expect me to be more definite. It is
sufficient to say, that the itrst steps towards a
realization of the policy referrid to by Presl
i i at D.'vi- as .be • -tie herc-iuter to be pursued
by the :tra>:B of, the O ■n'uUn-.ci, have be n

General Pope’s army occupies the ngion of
country between Manassas and the Rappahan
nock river on this side, including Fredericks
burg and the surrounding country. Ills lines
extend west from the town of Fredericksburg
near the Potomac, to the foot of the Blue
Ridge. He holds also the various gaps leading
across the Blue Ridge into the valley of the
Shenandoah, the scene of Jackson’s late bril
liant exploits. It is doubtless a part of the
Federal plan, that the troops in the valley, un
der Banka and Seigle, - hall co-operate with
those under the immediate command of Pope
in the event of an attack upon either. Such,
also, was the-plan adopted by the Federal offi
cers in the valley six weeks ago, and yet Jack
son managed to attack them in detail and to
drive the greater portion of their forces across
the Potomac. What he In.: done ones-, he can
do again.
It, Is known that McCK-Uar. . scat off sever
al transports loaded with troops. They went
down the Janies river, hut whether his object
is to reinforce Pope or to abandon his present
precarious posh ion, it la impossible to say. It
must now be evident to the most saneid e Fed
eralist, that McClellan cannot reach Richmond
from his present s; and with hispr(-sent force,
and that the 300,000 men lately called for by Mr.
Lincoln,'it they were now in camp, could not
be relied on tor three months in an aggressive
movement. There are intelligent, persons,
therefore, who consider it not improbable that
the “on to Richmond” programme will be aba#
dotted tor the present, and that McClellan will
transfer the greater part, of his forces to the
north side of the Rappahannock, for the de
fence of Washington. A portion of them will
be left at Fortress Monroe and another portion
at Norfolk; but the l lnaiuder, it is believed,
will be employed In the defense of the Federal
capital.
The recent demos . rations by McClellan and
Pope have deceived nobody. tVu know that
neither one of tin m in a condition to under
take to march upon Richmond. It Is probably
a pan of i lodr-pinn trr rTTvIV:.- our attention be
tween the James river and the Rappahannock,
and thus to keep us stationary until they shall
have Increased their forces and perfected their
arrangements. 15 • this as it may, the country
will be glad to li* to- that G.-n. Lee is not likely
to gratify them. He will h.rd!y wait for the
•new levy to he raised arid prepared far the field,'
‘or for the “young Napi.lcoa” to repeat his
wonderful str-tteg e rnianoeuvro oi changing his
base by a flank movement.
You have doubtless seen tho ordets recently
issued by Presided Lincoln and Gen. Pope,
in which it is proposed, not only to reiza and
appropriate all property, real and personal, be
longing to tbe “rebels,” that may bo nec ssary
lor the use of the Federal army, but to Intro
duce into the military and naval service of the
United States ail such slaves as they may be
able to seduce from their masters. Gen. Pope
has also notified the male citizens within his
lines that they will be rt quired to take the oath,
mid failing to and > so, that they will be escorted
to a point son!h of his lines, not to return
again under penalty of death, ft would seem
that he is envions of General Ilutler, and not
c intent with being the greatest economist o'
truth in the Federal dominions, that he now
seeks to rival that monster in atrocity and In
humanity. The Northern newspapers justify
these nrneeedimr.-s, and nff-ct to discover in
them evidence of a disposition to prosecute the
war wiut earnestness and determination. The
less successful their arm t arc, the more blood
thirsty do they become. The people of the
South, however, wiil not bo appalled by the
open avowal of a policy which has been pur
sued by Federal olllct rs front the beginning
Nor is it probable that the Northern armies will
long have an opportunity to carry out the bru
tal plaus of their gOTufnment. If it bo our
future policy to carry the w* r beyond the bor
der, and wring from an obstinate, foe a recog
nition of our rights, as indicated l.y •• **rc-t

tho hour of trial
I gave au approximate estimate in my last
letter of the Federal loss during the recent bat
tles before Richmond. Thirty thousand wic
tho number at which their killed, wounded and
missing were reckoned. Probably tho o figures
are too high by five thousand. No official state
ment of our owu losr-ca has yet been published,
ihonsrh it is believed they will reach sixteen
thousand—of which num er it is estimated that
thirteen thousand were wounded, and throe
thousand kill i. Our 1 sat Shiloh larked a lit

only two day-, there, and did not have a force
mare than half as bug" es that engaged here

Ia this it was only intended to speak of the
army as it is, and the prospect of another en
gagement soon from, the enemy, who has so
recently been whipped and cowed into liis
cuddy-hole at Harrison’s Landing. But in
glancing over an account of the engagement at
Garnett’s farm, I was so st ruck with the flagrant
injustice done to the 2d Ga. Regiment, and the
many culpable insecuracie?, it is impossible to
avoid reverting to lids single ins tan., e, by way
of M.-!!i?;r tb- fame of the neglected Regiment

G:i Friday, June 27-. U, it was thought expo- |
ciie.it, while our forces were hotly pressing the j
enttnv on the opposite sido ot the Lhickaao- i
minv.*&ud the terrific thunder of balLe was in
our ears, to make a feint on the enemy’s tight
on this side, in order to prevent his throwing
arv tresh troop3 across to the assistance ci
those who were now fast giving array before
our men. Gen. Toombs was ordered forward
to make the attack, aud selecting the 2d Georgia
Keaiment, he ordered it to the picket lme, at
which point it was to open fire on the enemy
and draw them out. A part of the regiment
was on picket duty at the time, and three com
panies were so far distant on another part of
the fine, they did not becomb engaged. Seven
companies alone stood the brunt ot the fight
for one hour. The two companies sent out from
the 17th Ga. to open the tight is ail mythical; not
a man advanced except from the Second Geor
gia The five companies of that regiment in
reserve for the five on the line, were formed
just a little before sundown,and mov ’ sMadily
up to the front, forming along a ek.-’t. t in.’isr
within two hundred yards of the c ?
enemy seemed apprised of the moveaunt, l ‘
scarcely had the men taken pest Wuen a tre
mendous volley oi swaT arms ?
neriect shower of nunflie bulls cu bhu ujci
bushes overhead.' It was immediately answer
ed and then eommeceed the heaviest firing of
small arms it has been our lot to hear since the
begiruling ot the war. The brigade first open
ing fire on us was quickly reinforced by
another, pouring in the deadliest rain of lead
into our ranks, and at every moment cutting
down some valuable soldier. It is no exagger
ation to say that at every moment someone
was falling. This was all, too, from the four
right companies, whose lot it was to occupy a
rise, and were unprotected from a single point,
t he other companies were screened by a small
bill in front, both from tbs direct shots aau
those that enfiladed the whole line. Ibis un
equal contest was continued, without nay m
dors to give way, for thtee quarters or an nous,
and although mau after man fell before the eyes
oi the rest, and the ranks were constantly
getting thinner, not a mao shrunk from his
place, choosing death rather that, k: ve tin: p*"-st
assigned him without orders. A tkap.ueti was
sent to General Toombs for reinforcements,
and the Fifteenth at last came, when it was
quite dark and almost useless. In fact, it was
no aid to the shattered Seeoud Georgia, for
they did take it from the front, and yet were
sufficiently exposed to Bull, r severely i. tv very
short time then-soives. St til the eueuiy con
tinued to pour in the leaden rain, situ at every
iustaut the doll “ chuck” oit a flying missile
could .be heard to strike the tody of some
comrade in (he darkness around —for by this it
had grown quite dark—and he either fell dead
or iay'bUfotiitig. Yet no orders catne to with
draw.
After awhile, as the eombattanta stood firing
through the duiknes’s at the flashing of each
other’s guns, our Colonel, impatient for the or
ders to cease firing, ordered it himself, and the
regiment withdrew beneath the hill far enough
for protection, and formed. But the enemy
ceased as soon as wo, and in a few moments
everything was quiet except the groans of the
wounded and dying.
Now, this is as near the facts iu the case as an
eye-witness can write them. The 15th Georgia,
when ordered, came promptly to the assistance
of the 3d, but could do little good at the
time. Yet they fought some, and lost seventy
killed and wounded. The 2d Georgia lost one
hundred and twenty killed -and wounded, and
all from five companies, and stood the fire for
one hour or more. Where the two companies
of sharpshooters from the 17th were doing the
execution spoken of by a correspondent, I must
learn. What other errors are detected in this
correspondent’s account, 1 do not intend to
mectiou ; suffice it to say, I shall follow up any
one who attempts and fails to give tho due
meed of merit which has been so hard earned
by our regiment. If we leave our fame to cor
respondents, we shall be compelled to look
to our laurels, and where so many aro justly
emulous of their country’s good, will let them
guard well their own fame.
Well, I cannot tell you of any new warlike
movements on loot; il l could, it would not be
judicious to write UI it- , • . ” .
"•Where’s Old Stonewall,” is a question con
stantly asked, but no one knows, the Yankees
are non phmed, for they hope he is dead, and
yet aro alraid to cherish the delusion. I expect
soon, while Morgan has tlum thoroughly stirred
up in Kentucky, to hear oi “Stonewall” strik
ing them iu some strange place, in some region
no one dreatna of, and when the “enemy” ate
the least aware of it.
During the battles before Richmond, lie was
constantly before tho troops and all had a
chance to see nl;n. He looks hard, his nose
Roman, his eyes grey, (perhaps couid’nt s
- plainly) and looks all over one at a giant ,
his lips thin and close together, expressive ol
tho most rigid firmness, his (oreireud broad aud
capacious, and all is carried along by a frame
sleuder but stalwart enough and endurii
above the ordinary capacity ot meu. He appears
to be restless aud active, always with his men,
day and night, never otf hunting comfortable
places to stay like a great many of ourjwran*
brigadiers, and his troops are always moving,
devoted to Jackson ana healthful, Give him
plenty of men and no orders, iftid lio’Jl do more
in six months to conquer a peace, than the rest
of our Generals, put together, will in a year.
Gen. Lee ha3 set the various ramifications of
the army in order once more, and svhiie every
thing is lying idle from warlike service, the
most active operations of drilling and discipline
are being carried on throughout the camps. No
officer can rise now without a thorough exami
nation before a comp: lent board, and then
much of the Incompetent trash that, has so long
impeded the proper organization and discipline
ot the army will be removed aud competent
men till their place's. These are wise steps on
the part of tho General, and k is not to be
doubted the efficiency of the army will be iu
creased au hundred fold from Ibese very salu
tary in. asures.
Day before yesterday the advance cavalry
scouts of the enemy had a sharp skirmi-h wiili

It seems that the enemy’s position begins
to cramp hku, and the melodious songs of frogs,
mosquitoes, .V ■„ by the majestic James, com
indices to get wearisome to his ears. lie feels
around occasionally to know where wo are and
finds the Conti derates every where ready to
confront him. lie would probably give a mint
to occupy Malvern Hill again, and it is believed
if ihe worst comes to t ie worst, he will ditch
himself there. Hta capacity tor dtygmg never

additional minor that the same destruction

[From the Newark (N. J.) Journal, (Democrat),]
Mis.il this War ever Lease t
Napoleon once said—“ America is a fortunate
country, tor she thrives by the follies of
our European countries.” But, alas! now
she has reversed her policy, and instead of
thriving by avoiding these lollies, she Uau not
only adopted them, war, taxes, oppressions,
but she has gone a step farther, and is endeav
oring to destroy her own liberties, the liberties
of white men, in order to strengthen or secure
those of the black tace. The history of man
kind presents us with many insane follies of
nations; but none equal in insanity to this
stupendous folly of Republican America, in
this noon of the nineteenth century. A year
and a half ago, the American Republic, with
the motto “E Pluribus Unum” flaming in her
beak, was developing her resources of mind
and body, with an external force, and an.inter
nal freedom, that had never a parallel in the
world’s history. “A continent and two oceans,
aid the London Times, “are in the hands of
this people.” With a most heroic past, we had
the promise of a most glorious future. At
peace with all the world, and with ourselves—
the terror of the nations —a career or national
prosperity was opening before us unlimited in
extent, rivalling in happiness the fabled Uto
pias of tbe ports. Out of the once unknown
wilderness, in less than three centuries, a
mighty empire had arisen. Upon the scarcely
rotted roofs of the primitive forest, proud
cities stood teeming with busy life, and grow
ing like the prairie grass in the spring. The
boldest aDd most enthusiastic speculator could
have scarcely ventured to predict the destiny
of this country, if integrity had continued to
govern her deliberations, and wisdom had pre
vailed in her councils. Her worst enemy, as
he looked out upon the vast inheritance oi this
people, s!retching from the Atlantic seaboard
to the Pacific, from its inland seas at tbe North
to the Floridian reefs, with all its teeming mil
lions, and all its evidences of prosperity every
where, must have been compelled to exclaim,
with Ball, (he son of Peor, as he looked out
upon the tents of Israel, whitening all the
plains of Moab, “who can count the dust ot
Jacob, or the number of the fourth part oi
Israel. As the valleys are they spread forth, as
gardens by the river side, as trees of lign aloes
which the Lord hath planted, as cedar trees
beside the waters.”
All this prosperity and promise for the future
■wa ’ e natural result of the constitutional
polity of the democratic parly which had ruled
in the land 60 long. That party held as the
policy of its creed a" strict construction of the
Constitution ; equal and exact justice to all
who are entitled to its privileges ; antagonism
to all forms of sectionalism based upon hostili
ty to institutions whose privileges were guaran
teed by the Constitution. Had such policy been
adhered to, this nation to day would have re
mained a united and a happy people. Bat a
sectional organization, professing for the basis
of its creed eternal hostility to slavery, revolu
tionary in its origin aud destructive iu its
policy, proposed to govern this country by
usurpation; to overthrow ana set at naught
every guarantee of the Constitution iu refer
i ecee to fifteen States ot the Union ; to shut
1 them out of the magnificent territories acquired
jby the common blood and treasure of the
| Union ;to maintain this Union just as the
: Union.between fSugland and Ireland is main-
I tained”; just as Great Britain attempted to main
! tain the Union !■-tween the mother country
i and the American colonies. When the danger
i of a disrupted Union was upon us, and all the
i horrors of civil war menaced, they persistently
! refused all attempts at conciliation and com
promise, and pre'erred the arbitrament oi war
to that of peace and conciliation. They refused
I conciliation and corn promise,and when they did
Iso they-knew that war would result from the
refusal.
| The war they invited—nay, longed for—is
now upon us, and has brought in its train all
the ruin that has waited up its bkoi ’-stainad
footsteps. Every fundamental principle of con
stitutional liberty has been scattered to the
winds—enormous expenditures, the result of
speculation and fraud, demand oppressive and
exorbitant taxes —whole hetacombs of victims
have been offered up, aud there is hardly a
house, as in ancient Egypt, “iu which there is
not one dead ”—a large proportion of the pro
ductive industry is being turned from the peace
ful pursuits of agriculture, to where the reap
ers descend to the harvest of death —every-
where individual and national bankruptcy are
staring u> in the face.
In the legislative councils of the nation, every
hour makes manifest that the object of the war
is not to uphold the government, the constitu
tion, or tue. Uaion, “but to lilt the artificial
weights from all men’s shoulders,” in the lan
guage of President Lincoln—to wage “an irre
pressible conflict” against the institution of
slavery—to rob the white man of his liberty,
that, the slave may enjoy ii. Nine-tenths of the
legislation of Congress has been this session
directed towards the condition of tbe slave, and
how to alleviate that condition, while the awful
situation of this government, intended for
white men, is eutirely lost sight of. In the
meantime the natiou “reels and staggers to and
fro like a drunken man.”
Democrats of New Jersey! the hour when
you are to meet in council is not far distant.
Upon you, together with your confreres in
other States, rest the hope of the country.
With a bold, vigorous and determined effort
you can help to save it; but it will not be by
itnlf-wav temporizing measures. 'You cannot
save it by endorsing and anprooian the fiats ot
tfcr present AdraimstraMon ; by endorsing at
tacks upon the constitutional liberty of the sub
ject; by approving of a war of subjugation and
extermination. The cunning, unprincipled
promoters, of this war, who are sp cuiating
upon the blood aud treasure of this nation,
have no desire that it shall cease. Under the
specious and delusive cry that Government is in
danger, and the Constitution must be upheld,
they are uprooting the foundations of the one
and tendering nugatory every provision of the
other. Head the history of the past year, read
the daily legislation of the men in Congiess
who are hounding on this strife, and then tell
lus honestly—do you believe this to boa war lor
the Union or the preservation of the Constitu
tion V If you do not, it is high time you should
cry aloud aud spare uot.
It is time that you should arouse from the
lethargy that enervates, aud the false security
that deludes you. If you believe that the fur
ther continuance of this war will only entail
nntoid miseries upon yourselves and your
posterity, you have a right to demand that it
shall cease. You have the l ight by all constitu
tional means within your power to endeavor to
make it a finality. If not. you acknowledge a
right and a power in this Administration which
only belongs to despotic governments, that are
founded in force, and not ia the consent of the
governed.
Let this war go on in the spirit it is now being
waged, and yon will dig an impas able guli be
tween North and South Remember what Sena
tor Douglas said in the Senate before disease
hai dimmed his eve and paralyzed his mind :
Whether the war that these Republicans now
clamor for, lasts one year, seven years, or thirty
years, the result must be the same—a cessation
of hostilities when the parties become exhaust
ed, and a treaty of peace recognizing the sepa
rate independence of each section. Extermina
tion, subjugation or separation, one ot the three,
must- bo the result of the war between North
ern and Southern States ”
Now, the question is. will you waitnniila
war of years bios prostrated every interest, ties

General Pillow 1 * Losses —A gentleman
from the river, in the vicinity of Gen. Pillow’s
plantation a few miles below Helena, informs
us that a marauding band ot Federal soldiers
visited ihe premises mentioned, aud alter mur

who were endeavoring to hide, they destroyed
aii the property they could lay their hinds In,
including "the growing crops. Tue balance of

IJncoln’ii Call for Volins teens.
A Washing:, n correspondent of the Chicago
Times states that great concern exists in that
i by “at the Blow manner in which the'SOO 003
troops are coming in. At the rate at which
enlistments have been made (the viiter s yr*,)
vve will have only 100,000 men raised by the
end of October, 230,000 by the end of next
February, and the whole 300,000 will not be in
the field before this time next year.” If the
writer’s calculation is correct, the eniistmeuis
will not more than su ply current vacancies,
and the Yankee army will find itself as much
in need of reinforcements, when the preseai
call is answered, as it is now. But, our object
in quoting what this writer says is only to give
our readers an insight into the disposition and
feeling of the masses in the North. The rein
forcements called for will be raised in a much
shorter time than this ccnef.pcnde.tit supposes
either by canning or force. The reasons as
signed by him for the tardiness with which
men come forward are worth reading. They
are, he says:
1. Th'c practice of keeping military hospi
tals in large cities. In ail the large eastern
cities there are hundreds of maimed and sick
soldiers congregated. The sight of these un
fortnna'e men, without arms, without legs,
with their eyes put out, or their noses cut-off,
hobbling about on crutches, has a very depress
ing effect upon the spirits of ardent young men
who would otherwise enlist, sill each sights
should be kept out of the public view.
2d. Because tbe good old practice of sending
Mound the recruiting officer, with liis banner,-
ins music, and his band of recruits, a!i dressed
in new and haudt ome uniforms, and drums,
fifes, clarions and trumpets making the air re-
sonant with tbe notes of glory and the batlle
field, is no longer kept up. If this glittering
representation of the pride, pomp, and circum
stance of glorious war was continually present
ed to the sight and hearing ot our young men,
it would again, as it did otice, draw thousands
to the national standard.
3 It is generally understood that tbe Admin
istration has decided in favor of emancipating
and arming the slaves, and of enlisting negroes
to serve on the same footing as whi o soldiers ;
to give them the same uniform, the same arras,
the same jauy, the same bounty and the same
peusions, as the white soldiers. This may be
very wise and sagacious, but the white men of
the country “don’t see it;” and hence their
unwillingness to be degraded by serving side
by side with negroes.
”4. The people of the North have seen, at first
with amazement, then with anger, and now
with disgust, that the Administration has not
taken the necessary measures to release from
captivity the thousands of their brothers sons
and neighbors who have been for months con
lined iu loathsome dungeons at the South.
Every few months the public is deceived by a
lying bueiletin from the v‘7ar Department an
tiouacing that “the Government has decided
upon a plan for a general exchange of prison
ers,” but only a few days elapse before it is I
found out t'-nt the “agreement” was only made
by one party, aud that its terms we e so absurd
that the other'party, the Confederates, rejected
it,
5. Another tiling that discourages enlLlment
is the fact that although the war has now lasted
fifteen months, it is, apparently, as far from
•being ended now as it was when it began.
0 Finally, enlistment languishes because the
Adm nistration has no defined policy, either iu
the conduct of tiie war or in the manaer in
which the States are to !>'• treat* it after they are
restored to the Union. Up to this time no less
than a million younx men of the North have
entered the army, of whom probably 600,000
are ia arms now. Bat the men who are now
called oa to enlist are the men who for six
months past have been pondering on the.ques
tion, “What is this war tor? For the restora
tion of the Union as it existed before the war
began ?” Yet they see that the Administration
and the dominant party in Congress have ben
steadily pursuing a course of policy which will
forever prevent the reconstruction of the Union.
The men who are now depended on to enlist
have seen with dismay for months past the
persistent attempts of the Abolitionists in Con
gross aud in the Cabinet to make this war a war
for the abolition of slavery, and to emancipate
and arm the slaves. If such are to be the ob
jects of the war, they are unwilling to become
tiie instruments to effect it.
Cane of tiie Stolen Steamer Planter.
The Cburt Martial in the ease of the three
officers of the steamer Planter, which was sto
len some lime ago, and carried out to the block
ading licet, returned a verdict of guilty in the
first two cases. The sentences were as follows;
Capt. C. J Relyea, “to three months impris
onrnent and five hundred dollars fine ; /ailing
to pay which at or before the expiration of his
torn of three months imprisonment, the said
0. J. Relyea shall be imprisoned a further term
of two months.”
Samuel Smith Hancock, mate of the steamer
Planter, “to be imprisoned on" month, and pay
a fine of one hundred dollars.”
8. Z. Pilcher, engineer, plead and “in bar of
trial” to the insufficiency .of the charges, and
the specification having been stricken out. there
was no means of framing a pita.
The Court being cleared, after mature deli •-
ration, sustained the several motions ; Hi-;
specification and charges were severally struck
out.
The decision ol the Court having been
brought before Gen. Pemberton, for his ap
proval, the ease of th prisoners was presented
to him by their counsel, Messrs. J unes Simons
and Nelson Matched, and the sentences were
remitted.
A'ter a careful review of the proceedings of
the General Court Martial in the case of Capt.
O. f. Relyea, and S. 8 Hancock, mate ot the
steamer Planter (the Major General Command
ing), find much puoven in mitigation of the of
fences charged against, ami of which they have
been found guilty by tie Court. It is not clear
ly shown that General Orders, No. 5, referred,
to iu the specifications to the charges, had ever
been properly communicated to Captain Relyea,
or Hancock, the mate, nor do any measures
appear to have been taken by their superiors to
eulorce an habitual compliance with the require
ments of those orders.
Captain Ferguson, tho owner of the vessel
and principal agent of the government lu Us
connection with her, seems to have been en
tirely led fiVrent as to the deportment ol his
subordinates to that particular.
Under these circumstances, I do not consider
that the public service will be benefitied by
the punishment of Captain Relyea, and Han
cock, the mate. The sentences are, therefore,
remitted, and they will be released from airest.
The proceedings of the General Court Mar
tial, in the case of 8. Z Fiteher, engineer of
the “Planter,” are confirmed. He will be re
leased from arrest.
The accused parties have, accordingly, been
released. [Char. Mercury.
The Outrages la Arkansas.
Wc have received confirmation of tao report
that one of the overseers on Gen. Pillow’s
plantation near Helena Ark., was hnng one clay
last week His offense was punishing a negro
who had given the Federal.# information auto
where some of his master’# stock could be
found. Ou being informed tba; he had done
so, a squad of Dutch made their appearance and
hung him n;> wjihout a moment’* delay, in
addition id’this, Mr Lorance, overseer on the
plantation of Mrs. Robards, was sit zed, aud has
been sentenced to be hung this week His
offense was whipping a ntgro, and overseeing
hinds who bad worked ou Fort Pillow. The
sentence was to be executed this week. An
oth- r gentleman, Mr John Yearby, a planter
on Old Town ridge, was c urged with correct
ing his own negroes, and also bung.
I'he same informant fully confirms the report
of the outrage* we have before noticed, aud de
clares that tne half has not been told. The
planters iu the vicinity of Helena have beeu
iiteraliy ruined, the most respect* le citizens
insttltcd and outraged n their persons aud
property, and from the brutality of the soldiery,
which is apparently sanctioned by the officers,
even the ladies are not exempt. .The negroe
are assured of their present liberty** which gives
the evil-disposed among them an opportunity
of indulging their depraved passions, support
ed as they aae by the bayonets of the army; and
the promise is made that at the end of the war
complete emancipation will occur.
This is no fancy sketch ; wroujd to heaven,
ior the sake of the suffering people of Phillips
couaiy, it were. It is a reality that should
nerve every arm to defend our homes and fire
sides from the wretches who forget entirely the
rules of- civilized warfare. These outrages
should be avenged, and similar ones prevented.

A New Tent Lieutenant J A. Letondale
of company A, TivelHh Alabama regiment, lias
obtained a patent for anew style of tent, which
if generally adopted, says the Richmond Ex
aminer, promises to be of great advantage to
the army. A 1 the tents at present iu use, be
ing designed for the accommodation ol friom
six to ten men, are heavy and cumbrous, and,
in aii c uddea movement* of au army, either in
advance or retreat, are, of necessity, left in the
rear. Mr. Letondale’s tent is intended to ac
commodate but two tuen; it weighs but four
pouads, a r and is to constructed that, when struck
for a march, it can be used by its occupants as
knapsacks. The fly and front of the tent may
at any time be detached, and, being fitted with
an opening for the head, may be used as a
wrapping by the sentry or guard. On picket
duly and on forced marches, in which baggage
is 1-ft behind, this tent will be found to be the
long-wished desideratum. The idea of its con
struction fi-?t occurred to the inventor during
the long campaign at Manassas, and having
fabricated one with bis own hands, and tried it
daring all of last winter, he was emboldened to
apply for a patent.
Capture of the Schooner Ca ilfna”**
Ailaira
[From the Richmond Dispatch, lsi.]
-Mr. I J. Hoboes, who sailed fr. in Charleston
o.i the night of the Pklt nit, in the schooner Ca ti
Bua, (Capt. Robet t Johnston,) and was captured
l his city, on Tuesday
niortiieg. Thu Catiliua was overhauled by the
lUMter.i! steamer Alabama on the morning of
the l!)t,h, about forty miles out from Charleston,
a prize crew of six men was put on hoard, and
the vessel sent to Philadelphia. -Previous to
the capture, during the night, the schooner
Sarah, also rumnug out, was hailed by the U.
S. steamer Keystone State, and not stepping,
nine cannon balls and a volley of musketry
were fired into her, when she surrendered
Some of the crew of the Sarah gave information
that the Catiliua had gone ahead, and it was
thus that, she, too, subsequently fell into the
hands of the enemy. When the Fdderala came
alongside one of them remarked “you’ve got
a very snug sailing schooner there.” “Yea,”
replied Capt. Johnston, “she goes very well as
long as she sticks to the water, but ii’sho gets
up in the air she’s uncommonly dangerous.”
This hint of an intention to blow up the vessel
c iused the prize crew to sleep on deck during
the entire passage, refusing to go into the cabin
for a moment even when it. rained heavily, and
constantly wearing their side arms. On arriv
ing at Philadelphia tbe crew of the Catiiina
were put on board the prison ship Prince on,
where they were kept for twelve days, and then,
after an examination, were allowed to go ashore,
with the liberty of the city At a subsequent
period, they visited New York, and went tuence
to Newcastle, Del,, where they perfected their
arrangements ;or a trip to Richmond. Mr.
Holmes thinks that two-thirds of the people
of Delaware are thoroughly Southern iu sentl
tnent, the ladies being especially ardent in their
devotion to the “ rebel ” cause. The men say
that if the government resorts to a draft, they
will not refuse to go, but that it- will be a “bitter
draft” for the United States, as they mean to
go over to the Southern lines the first oppor
tunity. While walking on the what ves at New
castle, looking for a boat to come off in, the
party from the Catiiina were approached by a
lady, to whom they tvere utter strangers, and
who took them to her house and ketat them
there th'eo and :ys, furnishing thorn meanwhile
with additional facilities for escape.

State were chiefly recruited in Pennsylvania,
and that there is not in reality a Delaware regi
au nt in the U. S. army. Iu Washington it. is

One of tue Prisoners in Washington.—
Among the few men of the Norm who have
maintained their devotion to principle and their
fidelity to the cause of truth* and justice, ‘none
deserve to be remembered more gratefully than
Lt. R. 11. Grinudl, son of the celebrated Moses
Grinned, of New York, the projector of the
Kane Arctic expedition in search of Sir John
Franklin. When the present national troubles
commenced, young Guuueil was traveling in
Europe with a devoted wife, whom he had but
lately wedded On learning of Lincoln’s pro
c auiulion for 75,000 men to crush the rebellion,
he immediately sailed from Liverpool for New
Orleans, where he raised a company oi volun
teoifi which was afterwards attached to Wheat’s
battalion. Distrusting his own military capa
city to do justice to the company as the com
mandant, he gracefully yielded the captaincy to
another whose name he suggested, and accepted
the position of first lieutenant. In this position
he served until wounded and taken prisoner at
Front Royal in the latter part of May last lie
is now a prisoner in Washington in the old
Capitol prison. His wife is in this city minis
tering to the warns of the sick and wounded in
our hospitals.—Rich. Dispatch.
Carrying away the Stolen Negroes. —The
Federal troops on Edisto Island, S. C., having
been sent to reinforce McClellan, the negro
“refugees” there were sent to St. Helena
Island. A correspondent of the New York
World says :
They were removed en manse. Nearly cue
thousand came hero at one time on one of oar
smaller steamboats. The scene was heart
rending.' They were literally stowed on the
decks and between decks. It was a shadow of
the middle passage. Several births occurred
during the trip.
