Important to Relatives of Soldiers.—
Colonel F. W T . Sims publishes an advertise
ment in the Richmond papers, saying that he
has effected arrangements by which the Sou
thern Express Company will transport all
packages of food and clothing for soldiers in
the Virginia army to Richmond, wheie they
will be delivered to the agents of the respec
ive States for distribution. Packages must
not exceed 100 pounds in weight, must be
well secured, and distinctly marked; aud sent
at the shipper’s expense to the headquarters
of the Soldiers’ Relief Association for the re
spective Slates—in Georgia to Augusta.—
From this point they will be transported by
the Express Company free of cost to Rich
mond, and there delivered to the Georgia Re
lief Association, whose agents will promptly
distiibute them.
It will thus be seen that boxes of provisions
and clothing can at any time be shipped to
friends in the army from this region, by Ex
pressing the package to the care of the Geor
gia Hospital and Relief Association, Augusta.

Come to Light.
The dispatch in reference to the Yankee
raid around Richmond, to which we referred
in this morning’s edition, has come to hand.
The proper mode of conveyance is by Tele
graph, but it came by mail in the Augusta
papers. Quousque tandem abutere , Southern
Telegraph Compauy, palientia nostra?
Our Noble SJldiers. —lt is positively de
lightful, exclaims the Charlottesville Daily
Chronicle, to see a soldier from the army.
There may be anxiety or alarm at home; he
has never heard of it. The currency may be
failing: he receives with cheerfulness his
eleven dollars a month, and feels it is the best
his country can give him. There may be fears
that the Yankees will out number us : he says
Gen. Lee can whip them fifty thousand against
ninety thousand- He may hear at home ap
prehensions about a scarcity of food: he will
tell you, we get a quarter of a po*und of meat
a day, and it is a plenty. Someone asked a
young acquaintance ot ours, (son of a wealthy
gentleman), who was a private in General Ma
gruder’s array on the Peninsula—“ Well, John,
how do you like the army ?” “Ah,” says be,
“ot course I like it, they give me plenty of beef
to eat, and plentv of straw to sleep on—what
more can a man want?” This was the first
year of the war. Two years have passed, and
John paid us a visit the other daj'. His
brother had fallen near him at Gettysburg: he
himself had upon some occasion been taken
prisoner; the conversation turned upon the
duration and serious character of the war; but
from lx Itu ctl\ *.~v -X
or discontent, and of the final result in our
favor he seemed to entertain no more doubt
than that the cars would perform their daily
trips. His brother told us, his letters invari
ably wound up—“ Don’t let Fanny ——-forget
me—and save me four hound puppiesfß’
Fanny ought not to forget him-—and may lie
live,' upon his native plains, in the conscious
pride of an unimpaired freedom, to indulge in
his noble and favorite sport! The history of
this simple minded youth, is the history of the
army. They ask no questions, they indulge
in no speculations; they look up to Gen. Lee
with affection and with trust, and p tch cr
strike their tents according to their orders,
believing that their great leader will ulti
mately close their long toils and labors with
a successful issue.
Longstreet’s Movement—Cap
ture of Yankees
It is no longer disguised that Longstreet
has fallen back to Greenville and Bull’s Gap.
It is reported that a portion of his forcesxroas
ed the river at Stawbeny Plains on Saturday
last and were attacked on Sunday by the ene
my, which drove our forces back. The pon
toon bridges were cut loose to keep the ene
from pursuing. The report is that Longstreet
fell back to prevent a flank movement. We
may say, however, that the public need feel
no anxiety as to this movement of Longstreet,
as we are assured that its real object, which
of course it would be imprudent to mention,
is very far from being the occasion for any
misgivings.
For a long time LongstreeFa army has been
an idle force in the Confederacy. When it
fell back from Knoxville it went into winter
quarters near Morristown, where it has been
in a state of isolation until recently. We do
not know that the bridges have yet been re
paired on the route to. Morristown from Bristol,
a distance of ninety miles, traversed by cour
iers and uncertain mail carriers. The Hol
stein Las divided the two armies, which the
enemy lias now crossed. It is conjectured that
the Yankees desire to occupy the country held
by Long3treet in order to subsist themselves
during the winter ; but on the other hand it
is very certain that Longstreet has not retired
from tire pressure ot the enemy’s forces, but
for ciaiisiderations entirely independent of
them.
The following was received at the War
Department yesterday from General Long
street :
Greenville, Feb. 27, 18C4.
To General S. Cooper :
Brig. Gen. William E. Jones captured two
hundred and fifty-six of the enemy, and thir
teen negroes, near Wyman’s Mill, five miles
east of Cumberland Gap. They belonged to
the 11th Tennessee (Federal) regiment, under
the command of Lieut. Col. R. A. Davis, who
was taken, wounded.
Gen. Yang ban c-o-operated, and attacked
the enemy in front. Our loss was three killed
and three wounded. The enemy had five kill
ed and many wounded.

Kapoleon’sßeply to tlie Address
of the Corps Cegislatif-
The Paris Moniteur publishes the reply of
the Emperor Napoleon to the address of the
Corps Legislalif. The following is a trans
lation: „ , . ,
Monsieur le I*resident —The address which
expresses to me the approbation ot the Corps
Legislat if deeply moves me. The discussions
upon the verification of powers and the address
have been long and profound; and ah hough
they have occupied nearly three months, they
have not been without utility. In all impnr
tml minds, in fact, what are the definitive re
sults of these debates? Accusations cleverly
disseminated, reduced to nothing; the policy
of the Government better appreciated, a ma
jority more compact and more devoted to the
maintenance of our institutions.
These are great advantages obtained; fort
after the sterile attempts of 60 many differen,
regimes the primary want of the country ia
stability, Upon a soil without consistence,
and which is continually shifting, nothing du
rable can he established. t
$3 Per Month.
What have we seen during the last sixty
years? Liberty in partisan hands become
merely a subversive weapon. Hence inces
sant fluctuations; hence, by turns, power suc
cumbing to liberty, and liberty succumbing
to anarchy. This ought not to be, and the
example of the last few years shows that what
so long appeared irreconcilable may be recon
ciled.
Really fruitful pro|ress is the result of ex
perience, and its advance will not bo quicken
ed by systematic and unjust attacks, but by
the close union of the Government with a ma
jority inspired by real patriotism, but never
Becured by vain popularity.
Let us await from concord and time the ame
liorations that are possible; do not let the de
ceptive hope of chimerical improvement un
ceasingly compromise the present good that
we have at heart to consolidate together. Let
us each remainin ourright place, you enlight- '
ening and controlling the Government, 1 ta
king the initiative in everything conductive
to the grandeur and prosperity of Franco,

The grand campaign under General Sher
man,' announced in the Yankee papers of
several weeks past, to consist of 70,000 men
to move in three columns, successively from
Vicksburg, West Tennessee, and Huntsville,
Ala., to sweep through the cotton States of
Mississippi and Alabama, break: up their rail
roads, destroy their grain and manufactures,
and capture and reduce their capitals, has
been brought to grief.
The commanding General of this Depart
ment, while deficient in troops, seems not to
have been wanting in fact, energy, skill or,
judgment. The plans of the astute Sherman
seem to have been comprehended and baffled,
his movements broken down, and his army
forced to retreat. Sherman left Vicksburg
with 45,000 men, 10,000 of whom were sent
up the Yazoo ; the rest marched in one col
umn through Jackson into the heart pf Missis
sippi. This was composed chiefly of infantry
and artillery. This column was first con
fronted by the cavalry commanded by Gen.
S. D. Lee, then by the small infantry force at
the disposal of the commanding General.
After crossing Pearl lives, Lee’s cavalry was
thrown-upon its Hanks and rear, and with
such success as to prevent all foraging.
The stores in depot on all the railroads be
tween Pearl river and the Tombigbee were
sent east, and the whole of the rolling stock
of those roads was placed beyond the enemy’s
reach. This being accomplished, the com
manding General placed his infantry on the
east side of the Tombigbee, to defend the
crossings, and concentrated the whole of his
cavalry on tile enemy’s second column from
West Tennessee, which has now moved.
This column, which consisted of cavalry
and mounted infantry, 10,000 strong, com
manaeuujfii™. c u .hL, Lo.en held in ob
servation by General Forrest. It
first with the destruction of the Mobile and
Ohio Railroad above Meridian, and the large
accumulation of Government graiu in the par
ities, then with the duty of foraging and sub
sisting the infantry from Vicksburg. To
crush it was to crush the expedition.
So soon as-it moved, Gen. Forrest, under
orders, moved after it,amfthrew his command
between it and Geii. Siiermau. Gen. Lee was
ordered, by forced marches, to join Forrest,
who was further reinforced by a cavalry com
mand under General Ruggles and the Missis
sippi State troops under Major Gen. Gholson.
This combination accomplished the object.
The Yankee General Smith immediate!}' fell
back and attempted to escape. He was press
ed by Gen. Forest, overtaken and attacked at
Okalona, and after a day’s desperate fighting
was thoroughly routed, one hundred and fifty
of his command were killed, woundetl or tak
en prisoners, and six pieces of artillery cap
tured.
Geu. Sherman, finding his cavalry cut off,
fell back towards the Mississippi, and at
accounts was being pursued by the cavalry ot
Gen. Lee, while Gen. Smith was flying before
the pursuit of Gen. Forrest.
Thus has terminated one of the most re
markable campaigns of the war, brought to
naught by the courage and enterprise of our
troops and the skill and judgment of the
Cominander-iu-Chief. OBSERVER,

Heavy Cavalry Raid —Enemy within sic miles
of the city — Vandalism of the Raiders —tits Yan
kees retire.
Richmond, March I.—The Yankee cavalry
which crossed the Central Railroad at Frederick
Hall yesterday, divided into two columns, one
moving in the direction ot the’James River Cauul,
and the other to Ashland, thence to the vicinity
of this city. The former appeared at the farm of
Mr. Sodden, Secretary of War, in Gdpilland County
this forenoon, burnt all the flour and suw mills m
the vicinity.
General Wise, who was on a visit to his son-in
law on an adjourning farm, was apprised of their
approach in time to make his escape.
The other column accompanied by artillery, ap
peared on Brooks Roads, six miles Northeast of
the city this forenoon. -They were kept in check
by a battery and troops manning a few sections of
artillery. .Shot and shell wore exchanged for
about two hours. The Y'ankees finally withdrew
in the direction of Mechanicsvillc, burning tbe
trestle work on the Central Railroad o\tr the
Ghickahoininy in their retreat.
Our loss in the artillery duel was one killed and
seven wounded. Neither the force nor the loss of
the enemy is known. The movement is apparent
ly a repetition of Kilpatrick’s raid last year. It is
feared that some damage has been done to the
canal. . . .
The latest reports are that four regiments ol
Yankees are advancing by the West Point Riier
road, supposed to be tl* forces which went to
Goodland. Heavy volleys of musketry have been
heard iu that direction within the last half hour.

Tbe Quartermaster,
After “Hiawatha”—Br Our Own Poick.
I ih a faithful Quartermaster,
Master of the flour and bacon •
Master of the corn and fodder
And I live in peace and plenty’
With my sergeant, who lives with me,
Sleepless partner of the profits.
If you would learn more about me,
Learn my life and peaceful mission;
Hear the stories contradicted
That are circulated of me,
Listen to my trnthful story,
True as gospel in the Bible,
And if then you don’t believe me,
1 can do no more than tell you
That I am the injured mortal,
Much abused by those who envy
Ease and quiet, and the plenty
That I every day enjoy.
I have seen the army fasting
On the banks of Rapid Anna,
Fasting like the best of Christians,
In their log built huts of winter—
Huts of every kind of wood built,
Built of oak, and pine, and hickory,
W ith the north wind howling loudly,
Howling through the crack and crevice
Os those log built huts of winter.
1 have heard the charge of battle,
Hoard the roar of mighty cannon,
Seen the soldiers brought out wounded,
Seen the graves of mighty warriors,
Seen the battlefield of carnage.
Just as closed the bloody drama.
. But not all these sacrifices—
Sacrifices that are offered
On the altar of their fame—
Half deserve a simple mention
When, against my cures and duties
And the naturo of my mission,
They are placed in balance true.
If I do enjoy the comforts
Which my lot has cast about me;
Spend my thousands tens of thousands,
I do show that 1 am grateful
To my blessed guardian angel
"Who is perched above my tent pole;
Guardian of the good and faithful,
Hovering o’er my flocks of cattle,
O’er the corn, hard tack and bacon,
Well provided by my foresight
For the soldier and his knapsack;
Well provided all by mo
’Gainst the, time of quarter rations.
When, hereafter, peace aud plenty
Make the evening of our days
Calm and beauteous as the sunset
In a glorious autumn sky,
Then a heartfelt benediction
Shall descend from grateful lips
On the faithful Quartermaster,
Who shall live when men forgotten
On the field of glory moulder ;
Live to tell the bloody story
To the children of the soldiers,
To the orphan and the widow, '
Who will smile, the while invoking
Blessings on the Quartermaster,
