ISAAC G. DENSON,
apl 28—It > Sec’y
Personal. —We were pleased to take by j
the hand yesterday. Major R. J. Moses, of
LongSireet's staff, and Commissary of the
corps commanded by that General. Major
Moses is recently from the Virginia front, and
reports Gen. Lee’s army, in every respect of
numbers and spirits, as all that could be de
sired. He says that the only apprehension felt
is in reference to the matter of subsistence.—
Knowing the unprecedented abundance that
is in the hands of Government agents through
out the length and breadth of this State, we
were surprised at this announcement. There
must be a great want of energy in the man
agement of therailroad transportation through
out the Confederacy. The - ] (entire control
of this matter, we believe, is now in the
bands of the Government, and, notwithstand
ing the land i# overlaid with corn and meat,
the array is still on insufficient‘rations. Is
there no remedy for this incompetency and
criminal negligence ?
The War in Virginia.
A report reached Richmond oh Thursday
evening, by the York river train, that the
Yankees in heavy force, numbers, not
were advancing up the peninsula. There was
great sentiment at Tunstall’s station, the point
to which the cars now run, and it was said
there that the enemy had driven in our pick
ets at Barhamsville ’on Wednesday night.
Barhamsville is six miles beyond Kent Court
House. „
Very recently one hundred mei*of the New
York cavalry were charged hy an inferior
force, in the valley of Virginia, and a captain
and fifteen privates captured. Our forces were
led by Capt. Davis.
The Staunton Spectator says it is reported
that the enemy were, during the past week,
marching from the Kanawha valley upon
Lewisburg, with a source of four thousand
men. They are reported to have advanced,
when last heard from, a3 far as Sewell moun
tain. It is supposed that the enemy at Bev
erly, in Randolph county, will also advance.
If this report and surmise be true, the “re
serve” may soon be called upon to take the
field.
The Richmond Sentinel contradicts the‘re
port that the Yankees had succeeded in
destroying a large quantity of Government
stores at Boulware’s wharf, on the Rappahan
nock. Everything had been removed.
Who Proclaimed the War. —The New
York Times, an accredited leading Republican
paper, and the special organ in New York of
the Administration, in its issue of the oth of
March, 1864, in an editorial taking issue with
Thaddeus Stevens for stating that the rebel
States are belligerents and “that they are no
longer in the this down as a
fact that cannot be gainsayed :
“The Confederacy wanted peace, and sent
Commissioners to Washington to receive it.
We would not receive them, and proclaimed
war ! They accepted war. The question who
fired the first gun is nothing.
Decidedly Rich. —The Federal General
Hooker, it appears lias prepared a report as a
substitute for his original of his operations in
the battle of Chattanooga, which Gen. Grant
has sent forward to the Department with the
following indorsement:
“Head'qs Armies of the United Ssates, )
In the field, Culpepper, C. H. Va., >•
March 25th, 1864. J
I know of no objections to the substituting
of this, for Major General Hooker's original
report of his operations in the battle of Chat
tanooga.
Attention is called to that part ot the re
port giving, from the report of the subordinate
commanders, the number of prisoners and
small arms captured, which is really greater
than the number captured by the whole.
U. S. Grant,
Lieut. General, U. S. A.”
The Louisville Journal says, the overcount
ing mentioned here is adapted to remind the
public of the romantic days of Pope, whose
truly Arabian imagination found men in trees,
flags in the running brooks, small arms in
stones, and spoils in everything.
From Longstreet’s Corps.
The following is an extract of a private let
ter from a member ot Longstreet’s corps, to a
gentleman of this city, dated Charlottesville,
Va., April 24th:
“We have just gotten back to Virginia, from
E. Tenn., to the joy, I presume, of every man
ip the corps. We had a hard time in Tenn.
A great majority of the citizens are disloyal—
a miserably low, ignorant kind of people—fit
companionship only for negro-worshipping
Yankees. Our army was greatly demoralized
by the association, and it is good for the men
and the service that we have come away.
Mr brigade has been without clothing dur
ing the whole winter. As soon as we arrived
in°Virginia, however, every man was put into
anew suit of excellent clothes, besides being
treated to such rations as flour, meal, rice,
bacon, beef, sugar and genuine coffee.
The Confederacy is improving ; everything
bears a bright aspect; the troops are in splen
did spirits; and I feel that when we meet the
new star in the Yankee constellation, he will
go- down as ingloriously as his many prede
cessors.
Field’s division, being now fitted out, will,
to-morrow, proceed to the front. Longstreet’s
position, I presume, will be on the left of Gen.
Lee’s army, somewhere about Gordonsville.
We came here day before yesterday, and are
now ready for active operations. —Macon Tele
graph., Oth.
A Mistake. —As the train on the Northeast
ern Railroad, conveying Yankee prisoners
to Charleston, passed Strawberry Station on
Thursday evening last, several young ladies
present, supposing them to be Confederate
soldiers, threw flowers to them. The morti
fieatien of the aforesaid damsels, when the
mistake was discovered, will be readily ap
preciated by all who know the character of
Southern girls.— Char. Mercury.
The following is a copy of a letter for.
warded by direction of President Davis,
, in answen to the memorial of a committee
appointed by the “general association of
! the chaplains and missionaries of the ar
imy of Tennessee/' asking that ministers

Gentlemen : The President has re
ceived, your letter of March 9th, and di*
recta me to express to you his deep sense j
of the importance of regular and earnest j
religious instruction and consolation to our j
brave soldiers. He does not presume to
doubt the necessity of chaplains in full!
number, and knows of no bar to the pro- |
motion of such from the ranks. On the
other hand, he considers the spirit which
to volunteer as privates
and* serye country in so glorious and
trying a position as an earnest of their
fitness for the duties of chaplain, where
knowledge of the wants, as well as zeal for
the good of the soldier, is required. The
presence of a large number of these devo
ted men in the ranks of the army has con
tributed greatly to elevate and purify the
religious tone and sentiment of our gal*
lant soldiers, and while it may not be pos
sible to provide for all of these as chap
lains, thus rendering necessary a discrim
ination as to their claims, no intention
exists to preclude them from receiving
the sanction and countenance of law, in
their honorable efforts, by promotion,
Thanking you for your kind wishes and
prayers in his behalf, the President re
quests me to convey to you the assurances
of his esteem, and of his appreciation of
the great work in which you are en*
gaged.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Wm. Preston Johnston,
Colonel and A. D. C.
Much Attached to the Married
State
It is usually considered a noteworthy
circumstance for a man or woman to have
been married three times; but of old the
number would have been thought little
of. St. Jerome mentions a widow that
married her twenty-second husband, who,
in his turn had been married to twenty
wives. Surely mi experienced couple !
A woman namro Elizabeth Masi, who
died at Florence, 1868, had been mairied
to seven husbands, all of whom she out
lived. She married the last of the seven
at the age of 70. When on her death bed
she recalled the good and bad points in
each of her husbands, and having impar
tially weighed them in the balance, she
singled out her fifth spouse as the favorite
and desired that her remains might be
interred near his.
The death of a soldier is recorded in
1781, who had five wives, and his widow,
aged 90, wept over the grave of her fourth
husband. The writer who mentions these
facts, naively added, “the said soldier
was much attached to the married state.”
There is an account of a gentleman who
had been married to four wives, and who
lived to be 115 years old, When he died
he left'twenty-three “'children” alive and
well, some of the said children being from
three to four score.
A gentleman died at Bordeaux in 1772
who had been , married sixteen times.
In July, li]j3B, a couple were living in
Essex who had been married 81 years,
the husband being 107 and the wife 108
years of age. At the Church of St. Cle
ment Danes, in 1772, a woman of 85 was
married to her sixth husband.— Phrenol *
ogical Journal.
Present to General Gee-
Several weeks since, the Misses Semon,
workers in military goods at Savannah,
forwarded to General Lee a box of pres
ents, including a set of collar wreaths,
sleeve cuffs, buttons, etc., and accompany
ing the same with a letter.
The ladies are in receipt of a reply from
Gen. Lee, acknowledging the receipt of
the box, etc. The following is the let«
ter
* Orange County, April 18, 1864.
Misses Semon :
I have received the set of collar wreaths,
sleeve cuffs, etc., which you have embroid
ered for me. They are beautifully execu
ted, and I can only return my grateful
thanks for your kindness and for the pains
and labor they have cost you.
For the safety of your homes in Richs
mond you are indebted to a merciful Prov
idence and the brave army of Northern
Virginia, which alone are entitled to your
thanks and gratitude.
I remain, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,
R. E. LEE.

Worse and Worse !—Another Chance to

amended bis Exemption Proclamation so as to
include Masters in Chancery. A3 we have no

the right to exempt one more able bodied man

ward their applications promptly to ensure
attention.
Cannot the Governor,, upon close examina
tion, find some other loophole for his particu
lar firiends to slip through. A few more
might be provided for under paragraph 1205

North Carolixa.—lf it should for
tunately happen that Newbern fall into
our possession, and there seems reason to
anticipate its speedy capture, the Rich
mond Whig is of the opinion that the
whole of North Carolina will return to the
Confederate dominion. By means of
their supremacy and their posts at New
bern, Plymouth, Washibgton and other
places, the enemy have been enabled for
the last two years to denominate Pamli
co and Albermarl Sounds and the oircum
jaeent counties. Thus they have held a
country not of great area, but of much
importance from its exceeding fertility
and the abundance of food supplies annnu
ally produced by it Its recovery will
prove no less a solid increase of our re
sources than a brilliant triumph of our
arms and will it is to be hoped, consti*
tute the opening of a series of successes
by which the tide of invasion is to be roll
ed back, ancf a wide extent of Confede
rate territory wrested from the enemy’s
grip.
River Partisans. —The Memphis
papers contain frequent notices of the
operations of the river partisans against
the Yankee steamer. The Bulletin of
thel2th reports two instances. The
Steamer Superior from Vicksburg, was
fired into from the Arkansas shore, at a
point on the river known as Yellow Bend.
Upon the steamer reaching this point a
band of about twenty four guerrillas sud
denly made their appearance from the
woods, and opened fire npon her with
their shot guns and rifles many of which
were insufficient for the distance. Severs
al balls however, penetrated the cabin of
the boat. One soldier was wounded in
the leg. On White river the Loyed was
I also attacked about the same time. The
i Bulletin also reports numerous bands of
partisans operating between Duval’s Bluff
and Alexandria, Arkansas.
[London Correspondence of the Philadelphia En
quirer.]
The Alexandra Decision.—Lon
don April 9 th. —The decision of the House
of Lords was entirely upon technical mats
ters. The merits of the original case were
not involved in the slightest degree. The
result, however, is, that the Government
stands beaten, and is compelled to pay the
entire costs of the prosecution. The Lairds
come off with flying colors, and they and
j their friends are in high glee. It is un-
I derstood that they will claim enormous
damages for the loss they have sustained,
by detention, etc.; and as they will be
careful to bring their case in Chief Baror 11
Pollock’s court, they will probably obtain
a verdict from which there can be no ap- c
peal. ,
The existence of the Ministry just now
is held by a very precarious tenure. In- :
deed, I do not hear any prophesy that it
will last more than a fortnight longer.—
It is now conceded that the opposition will
not await the slow process of its natural
death, but that they are determined to
put a speedy end to its existence if they
can possibly do so. Lord Palmerston may
possibly, by making other sacrifices, man
age to ride over the present crisis, but just
now it looks as though the announcement
of a dissolution might take place at any
moment.
To Young Ladies.— When a woman
becomes anxious to marry, the less the
world sees of her anxiety the better her
chance of success.
One of the sweetest charms of woman
is that modesty—that shrinking delicacy
of feeling—which blushes with ingenuous
shame at the bare idea of being regarded
as a husband-hunter.
A Yankee Steamer Destroyed,
—The Charleston Mercury has informas
tion through a gentleman just from Flors
ida that a negro, who escaped from
the Yankees at Gainsville and came with
in our lines, reports that the Yankee
transport Hunter was destroyed a few days
ago by a torpedo in the St. John’s river,
between Picalata and Jacksonville. He
stated also that there were a number of
Yankee officers on board, some of whom
shared the fate of the vessel.
Paid fob Talking. —A trial of some inter
est to the medical profession has taken place
before the police court In Paris. A physician
was prosecuted for having divulged the na
ture of his client's disease, and thus injured
him. The court found the physician guilty,
and sentenced" him to imprisonment for one
year, to pay a fine of 500f, to be placed for
five years under the surveillance of the police,
and to pay the costs of the trial. The judg
ment of the court added further, that, “inas
much as by thus divulging the nature of his
disease, he caused the complainant an injury
sos which compensation is due him. the tribu
nal, moreover, condemns the accused to pay
■the prosecutor a sum of l,ooOi damages.
The Georgia Militia. —We have an amus
ing anecdote on a Lieutenant in this city, who
holds a commission under Joseph I, that is
too good to keep, and consequently we relate
it for the benefit of our readers, and more es
pecially for the Governor himself. It ap
pears that a certain Distillery some four or
five miles from this city, was lately seized by
the government, and this Lieutenant and a
squad of men under him, were stationed there
to guard it. After standing guard around it
for some time, they came to the conclusion
that there was little danger of the Distillery
bein® troubled, and concluded to play “old
soldier.'" Repairing to a house close by, they
commenced a social game of seven up.—
When lo ! while they were thus agreeably en
tertained, some cunning individual steals the
distillery and makes off with his prize, with
out leaving track or trace behind, and not a
little to the chagrin of the unsuspecting
Melish.
Ili3 Excellency had better have his troop3
instructed in the duty of the soldier, or give
them over to such deciplinarians as Lee or
Johnston.— Sav. Republican.

friends and respected by all who knew him
he is destined to make a mark in history
