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. [Signed] J. LONGSTREET, , Lieutenant General Commanding.

Sherman Defeated and hi* €am paigii Broken up. Dkmosolis, Feb. 26, 1864. 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, E&citlng news from Richmond 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. . . .

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, By Ellis, Livingston Sc Cos.
