Correspondence of the Times.
Dalton, April 18th, 1863.
Ed. Times : —Extreme dulness still reigns in j
this department, and but for incessant drilling 1
in camps—army brigade and corps exercises |
and manoeuvers—we should conclude that ;
our enemy has given up all hope of prosecu- ■
ting the war, by an advance upon our posi- |
tion, near Dalton. An occasional skirmish ■
between our cavalry and their s, announced j
generally byJhe booming of artillery, admon- (
ish us that the foe still threatens our front ; j
that other dangers must be hazarded, and new
fatigues endured, ere liberty and the peaceful
pursuits of our former lives can be resumed.
In this connection let me ,say this army
has never, since our connection with it,
attained such perfection in drill and discip
line as now. General Johnston has certainly
displayed qualities as a commander and exe
cutive - officer but seldom found combined.
Under such direction, from the private soldier
to the chiefs of divisions and corps, unbound
ed confidence in our present and future suc
cess prevails. With the favor of God, we will
redeem the losses of last year. In common
with everybody else, we think Grant will essay
to drive Lee from the Rapidan by mere weight
of numbers—his usual tactic, and we may as
confidently look for an immense massing of
troops by him at that point, as for the sun to
rise to-morrow. He has won doubtful hon
ors in no other way. We shall soon see, I
trust, his Western laurels wither iu the green
leaf; nor shall we be idle spectators in this
grand struggle liberty and equality.
Tennessee, now groaning under tyranny and
worse than death, must be redeemed; Ken
tucky, in fetters, must be made free to cast
her lot whither she will, and no one who has
mingled with her citizens can doubt on which
side she will go when permitted to speak sin
cerely. And although we may not mingle our
shouts of defiance to the foe with our brothers
in Virginia, we may be permitted to raise
proud monuments of our love of the rights of
man by restoring freedom to the people who
dwell in the lovely valleys and mountains of
Tennessee and Kentucky. Such a result is
attainable during this campaign. With the
West disaffected, and Kentucky in a threat
ening attitude, any army would do well to
look to its rear defenses. With Forrest in the
West, and Morgan 'in North-east Kentucky,
and a powerful and determined foe in front,
Chattanooga will not bo altogether a pleasant
place to summer in. For an advance move
ment we are, to a man, prepared. Such an
order would deciease our very small sick next
to nothing.
Our camps have been unusually graced
within the last tffn days. A large number of
ladies have been here, and the field and staff
have had a gloriou/$ time with our fair visitors.
Nor has the rank land file been debarred the
pleasure of an holies talk with“ God's last ;
best gift to man.” Asa compliment to them
Hardee’s corps engaged in a mimic battle.
Although the usual amount of blood, dead
and dying did not mark the engagement, it
was a fair representation of war, stripped of
its dangers.
This week has added another visitor—
female also—but playing a- different role.
Miss Mary E. Walker, Major and Surgeon of
the 52d Ohio, called upon our pickets a few
days since with a handful of letters for friends
in Dixie. The gallant fellow of course took
the letters and tlfon took Major Mary. lam
indebted to a lady'friend, now here, for a des
cription of her personnel , and for the benefit
of your inquisitive friends of all genders, an
nounce that she is quite young, beautiful,
fluent and flippant, She expresses herself as
much pleased with her first visit South and
very much gratified to find such clever people ;
her captors. She wears a hunting shirt of j
fine blue cloth, embroidered on the bosom :
pants of same material, and the neatest boot
in yankeedom: pants inserted in the boot,
linen cuffs and collar and a blue cap make up
her gear; further this deponent sayeth not.
We have been almost without news from !
the world South of us for a few days. The,
action of the Atlanta typos has placed a muz
zle on the-press of that place. So be it. We
can now get our of men and things from
some point in Georgia not Tennesseeizcd by
the Press. If we did not know exactly the |
status of Tennessee regiments in this array one
would be made believe every Tennesseean in j
the State was here struggling manfully for his
home. Such people as Georgians, if any there j
be in Confederate service, are skirmishing
with alligators and kindred things in Florida.
Although excelled! papers in the main, they
remind me of the smallest pig in the litter: 1
they are eternally squealing here’s me, for
fear they may be forgotten. Gov. Brown
should have an jeye upon them. We have
been surprised that he has not ere this writ a
letter, or convened an extra session to inves
tigate this matter and know whether he has a
State or not. •
Our regiment in common with others has
been filled up by the action on the conscript
law and now numbers 050 for duty.

House joint resolution in regard to the Mexican
question. The committee, in accordance with the
wishes of the Administration, determined to defer
action for the present upon this and all other sim
ilar proposiiions relating to legislation on the ques
tion of our foreign relations. This kills the mat-
$3.50 Per Month.
Molungeonism. —Europe lifts up its hands
in holy horror. The Saturday Review is in
convulsions, and the New YorK correspondent
of the London Herald hag an attack of opis
thotonos. Greely is scared. Raymond is pen
itent, and the saintly Benuett is outraged in |
his immaculate sensibilities. Even the South- j
ern press is excited. And all for why ? Be- j
cause of the new Yankee social gospel of Mis
cegenation, or, as Governor Wise would say,
Molungeonism.
It is a most unnecessary uproar. What is j
Molungeonism ? Simply this—a mixing of
the Yankee and African races, with a view to !
the improvement of the former. There is noth
ing terrible in that; on the contrary, quite
the reverse. It is the noblest and soundest
idea which ever entered the crazy Y'ankee
mind—an eminently laudable ambition, which
ought.by all means and by all people, espec
ially the people of the South, to be encour
aged. We see nothing -‘beastly 1 ' or “barba
rous" about it.
Here is a race, by their own confession,
lean, dry, juiceless, marrowless—fast decay
ing physically. By the unanimous verdict of
the enlightened world, they arc morally rot
ten. Such a race must eoon perish from off
the face of the earth, unless something be
done, and that quickly, to regenerate them.—
They have tried the importation of Irish and
Dutch, but the Irish and Dutch refuse to amal
gamate with them. In this extremity, Im
pelled by a profound instinct, they turn to
the nigger—the coal black nigger; with his
thick, rich blood ; his strong) wiry hair; his
powerful lips ; his able heels and beautiful
shins; his herculean odor and impenetrable
skull. To him they cry aloud for help.—
“Come save us from bodily decay ; infuse new
life into our shrunken veins, and re-create
us with your potent vitality.’’
It is an agonizing cry, enough to melt a
heart of stone. But the nigger’s heart is not
stone, it is soft as wax or putty ; and he will
not turn a deaf ear to the entreaties of the
dying race. He will fly to their relief, will
freely miscegenate and finally molungeonize
the effete Yankee. It will be a happy day when
the trans-mogrification will be completed.—
The world will be full of molungeons,
and will never more lack mulatto barbers and
chamber maids. A plentiful supply of these
will add greatly to the comfort of the human
family.
Let no one suppose we are in jest. Far,
very far from it. We know the negro to be
physioally superior to the Y T ankee, and if we
didnot know it, the Yankee himself would dissi
pate all doubts. Iu morals, he is infinitely supe
rior. The advantage of the concubinage would
be altogether on the side of the Yankee.—
We see but one objection, and that, we con
fess, staggers us—for it is serious. It is a law
of hybvidity that the inferior dominates the
superior race, and if the coming nation ofmo
lungeons should possess all the bad qualities
of the Yankee in addition to those of the ne
gro, the calamity would be terrible. The ex
periment should be tried at all events. If it
terminated in the elevation of the l r ankee, the
world would gain largely in anew class of
menials. But if the molungeons provedto be
negroes degraded to the level of Yankees,
nothing wonld be left but for mankind to turn
upon them and exterminate them.

Tun Yankee Army.— Notwithstanding theblus
ter of the Yankee about the extensive
preparations for the capture of Richmond, there
can be no doubt, says the Richmond Dispatch,
that the army under Grant, on the Rappahannock,
is much weaker numerically than that which was
overwhelmed under Hooker a year ago at Chan
cellorsville. An officer who came down on the
Central train last night informs us that our scouts
report that the statement of heavy reinforcements
to Grant are greatly exaggerated, and that the
enemy’s army, with all the reinforcements re
ceived up to this time, does not exceed 60,000. It
is stated, however, that Grant is making prepara
tions for an advance.
For the edification of those who do not properly
examine the Bible, or ponder well its contents, a
soldier makes the following quotations :
“Blessed is ho that considereth the p.oor ; the
Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
“The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive,
and he shall he blessed upon the earth, and will
oot deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
“The Lord will strengthen him Upon the bed of
languishing; wilt make all his bed in sickness.”
—xni Psalm : 1,2, 3 verses.
“Defend the poor and fatherless ; do justice to
the afflicted and needy.”—lxxxii Psalm, 3d verse.
“A good man showeth favor.”— cxii Psalm, sth
verse.
“Withhold not good from them to whom it is
due, when it is in thine hand to do it.
“Say »ot unto thy neighbor: Go and come again,
and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by
thee.”—Proverbs in: 27th, 28th verses.
“The path of the just is as the shining light,
that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”
Proverbs n, 18th verse. '
“The liberal soul shall be made fat; and he
that waterest shall be watered also himself.”—
Proverbs xi: 25th verse.
“He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto
the Lord; and that which he hath given will he
pay him again.”—Proverbs xix : 17th verse.
“The Cry is Still They Come !”
Owing to a derangement of the wires,
the good news from North Carolina failed
to reach us until the Charleston papers
of yesterday came to hand. It has not
spoiled however, by the delay. The
capture of a town with 2,500 prisoners,
80 pieces of artillery, 100,000 lbs. of meat
1,000 barrels of flour, a full garrison out
fit, winding up with the capture of a
steamer, destruction of two gunboats and
disabling the third, is no mean day’s
work for any army. With our corporal’s
guard in North Carolina, it may be reck
oned among the brilliant-achievements of
the war.
Thus thick and heavy fall
in rapid succession upon our invading foe.
We envy not the feelings with which he
must enter upon the great work of 1804
with such crushing auversiry staring him
in the face at every step. The avenging
angel seems to have baied his arm in the
person of the Confederate army to punish
the vile usurpers for their crimes and
wicked intentions. Let us continue
to merit the divine favor and we shali
soon take our place among the nations of
the earth, a free and independent people.

Dalton. April 23. i artv iust through tho
Yankee lines reports that ail the troops had left
Ilnntsi ille and Knoxv die leaving but a small Gar
rison.
Two divisions and a train of four hundred wa,T
ons had arrived at Cleveland from Knoxville. *
The force at Cleveland under Howard was twen
ty-five thousand.
The enemy were throwing up strong works at
Athens, Cleveland and Charleston.
Ten thousand Yankees are at Chattanooga.
Two-thirds of the army refuse to re-cnlist, and
the timo of one-third of it expires in Mar.
The enemy are concentrating troops from all
other points to Virginia and Tennessee, leaving
only small garrisons, and say they will bo ready
to make an advance on Atlanta within the next
twenty days.
700 Wisconsin cavalry made a raid yesterday on
Boiling Springs, fourteen miles northeast of Dal

All serene.

terminated in a disastrous route, only
equaled by the famous Bull Run route of

lorrest’s Plunder. —One of Forrest's men,
says the Mobile Advertiser, 22d, called upon
a tailor in our city yesterdny, to have a suit
of clothes made of materials from Paducah.
He represents the spoils of the expedition as
immense, quite beyond the means to estimate.
At the different points successfully attacked,
vast stores were found, and horses and mules
in large numbers. This being the case, eve
ry vehicle, of whatever description, was har
nessed and loaded, and only such of tho [plun
der destroyed as it was impossible to bring
away. Ofjeaus alone, at Paducah, they took
as much as to load completely a train of army
wagons “from here to the railroad depot” (we
are doubtful from what point the ‘here' should
be measured, but say somewhere about Dau
phin street.)
There must, he says, have been enough to
clothe all of Gen. Johnston’s army. The
Yankee story of 3,000 horses and 1,900 wag
ons brought oft, may be less of an exaggera
tion than we think.
Federal Cavalry. —We find in the Nashviiio
Times cf the lfith iust., says tho Memphis Appeal,
a lengthy article under the head of “Cavalry Force
of the United States—lnteresting Facts[»nd Sta
tistics of what it has been and is now.”
Sixteen years ago this branch of the service was •
composed of three regiments only, shortly af
ter the Mexican war it was increased to six. This
is now the number in the regular army. In the
volunteer service, however, tho figures are astoun
ding* a ud we presume exist oifly on paper. We
suspect, if the statements are true as given in the
article referred to, that Lincoln has been allowing
the creation of organizations on paper, for the pur
pose of creating fat places for favorites, for that
they have anything like the number stated in the
field is not to be believed for a moment.
The figures given are as follows: six regular
regiments, 7,638 officers and men ; 590 volunteer
regiments of about 600,000 officers and men. The
annual pay of the force is put down at $171,052,-
250 ; number of horses, 717,584, and total estimate
of expense of cost and outfit and one year's pay,
$341,122,416.
j Th c figures are, it is said, taken from the docu
ments in the cavalry bureau of the War Depart
ment. No one will believe for a moment there is
any such force in the field, and it is evident that a
wholesale system of robbery of the treasury is go
ing on. Corruption is the order of the day at the
Federal capital, and one of the means used* to de
plete the treasury is the cavalry arm of the Fede
ral army.
Tax in kind —Fraudulent Re
turns.— The Confederate Tax Collec
j tors in some districts of the country
i have found it necessary to call the
attention of Assessors t 5 frauds com
mitted bj’ persons making returns of
their produce. This is much to be
regretted, as a faithful return of this
tax is absolutely necessary to the coun
try, and for the additionl reason that
the agricultural intrest has been great
ly favored by Congress on acount of this
tax.
Assessors in districts where there
is reason to believe frauds have been
committed in returns of produce would
do well to institute a more searching
inquiry, and wherever mistakes have
been discovered, make anew or addi
tional assessment; and wherever there
is a taint of fiaud, impose the penalties
prescribed by the law.
