i TRIP NORTH.
Kichmond, Oct 25(b, 1862.
)NTU WITHIN THE KNKMv’s LINES.
I Mit'tr :—I harejust reached this place
* of Baltimore and desire to relate, in a
. way, some tacts and circumstances,
^ occurred, during my recent stay in
.nd. It was with a sad heart that I be-
in the afternoon of the 18lh of last S’ep-
...iiber,—the day alter the memorable battle
of Sharpsburg—movements which indicated
the retreat of our army across the Potomac.—
The fierceness of that struggle, the tremendous
odds against which we fought, the miserable
plight of our troops, and the result of the battle
have all been long since given to your readers.
I need not, therefore, undertake to repeat .hem
here. The necessity to fall back arose, I imagine,
from the danger of our position and the large re
inforcemenls winch the enemy received on the
evening ol the 18lh. I had great apprehension
that the retreat could not be effected by a sin
gle ford, and that the enemy, discovering our
movements, would fall upon our rear and indict
ous damage upon our forces. But by sun-
on the 18th, the immense wagon train,
h preceded tho troops, and the entire ar
11 , were safe upon the Virginia banks of the

«d—Lawton’s Brigade—hoping their removal
jkouIJ he accomplished before the enemy made
fiieir appearance. In this I was disappointed,
ami as much as I disliked the idea of falling
urn the Hands of the t'ederals, I determined—
because 1 felt il my duty—to remain with
those, who were suffering and bleeding for our
beloved S >uth. The advance squad ol the en
emy's cavairy after they had passed our hos
pitals— which wi re a mile Iron) the river—were
tire.l upon by some infantry, which had been
accreted in a corn Held; they “about laced’’

Northern press Saul hut little of the result ol
the- attempt lo follow lien. I.ee, hut the poor
tulows, who succeeded in getting back, tol l a
feartul story of their conflict with the raggeu
rebels. According to their own statement,
which I heard, the “Corn Exchange Regi
ment," w hich crossed with about 800, return
d with about 400, many of whom were with-
ut hats, guns, or other equipments. They
■ e mi severely handled they were permitted
o home, and en route there was a railroad
sien which killed anu injured some sixty
men.
That McClellan’s army was paralyzed, no
better proof is needed than that lor one solid
month he lay quietly upon the northern hanks
of the Potomac fearing to make a forward
movement, for w hich their press was clamorous.
.Ulcers and men freely admitted that
a much iarger number wounded than
derates, l am satisfied, from what
could learn, their loss far exceeded

'ch 1 am confident is considerably more
an our loss.
APPEARANCE OK THE PEDKKAL AKMV.
Their troops are all in uniform, and of course
aie far more sightly than the Confederates,
wiissc clothing is ol every imaginable color.—
They are far better equipped in eery way
-eve small arms. Their cavalry appear supe
rior to ours, but their inefficiency is admi ted
by themselves. If you regtrd simply the ap
pearance ol the two arrnios, it seems that they
were able to crush us speedily. While I was
viewing their hosts and the superiority of equip
ments, 1 was deeply impressed with the belief
that (Jod was with us, else we would, long
since, have been overcome. They devote much
time to drilling; and the improvement of the
new levies was very perceptible. They use
the bugle almost entirely in Tattoo and Rcveil
le, and all their calls are made by its shrill
blasts, which seemp referable to the drum.
Especially would this be so in the din of battle,
bugle is easier carried and its notes would
se above the noise which would drown the
1 have no doubt they are surpiiscd in
battle, at the dogged cour >ge ol our men,
nd cannot understand how it is that troops of
uch mean appearance can withstand oven the
pproach of so magnificent an army.
REVIEW OF THE ARMY BV LINCOLN.
I witnessed the review of General Porter’s
corps, by the President, and had a near view
of his august person. His physiognomy would
indicate the truth of all that has been said ol
^iis low yvit and contemptible character. In
I iassing up the lines of the several regiments,
lie would near the head ol the column, he
kiuld raise his hand flatwise to the side of his
I-1,1, which.be designed as his salute. He
ode 'rapidly ard seemed anxious to finish the
kb. lie was escorted by a number of the
Lading Generals and lesser lights «>t the army ;
|en. Slorrell rode by bis side, Gens. McClel-
fcu, Porter, Burnsides and others immediately
n the rear. There was not the least enthusi
asm manifested, not the first cheer was given
save those which were in obedience to the offi
cer tn command after he (Lincoln,) had passed
the hues ol the several Brigades. Very few-
country people assembled to witness it, and
upon tiie whole, it was the coldest and most
formal reception I have ever witnessed. The
account given by the Herald’s correspondent
was in no semja true. The whole was not only
an cxaggci^^P, but a wilful fal-ebood.
VISIT TO TDK BATTLE FIELD.
Four or live days after the memorable 17lh,
1 visited a portion of the battle field—our left,
where Gen. Jackson’s troops were engaged,
passing the church and over the corn field of
which so much has been said. The conflict in
the field, from every appearance, was hot and
deadly—as was shown by the many graves to
be seen in every direction. Near the center of
this field, I observed beside other Confederates,
the graves of Col. Caldwell, and your talented
young townsman, Maj. P. Tracy—which was
khe first I knew of his having fallen. Mourn-
Fful thoughts crowded upon me as I saw the

THE AKMV.
! The battle of Sharpsburgor Aniietain, as i>
j is called by tho enemy, wa- tlie severest of the
; war. In no other engagement have the two
! armies fought upon the same lines for 14 hours,
one side or the other occasionally wavering,
! but in the main holding the same positions at
l the close of the day, which wire occupied
when the battle began at 4 in the morning. If
facts can ever be made history, the Conleder-
ates on that day established a renown which
may make any nation fearful of meeting them
two to ooe.
stl'akt’s raid
Into Pennsylvania produced a consternation
from which the people have scarcely yet recov
ered. All things considered it was the coolest
and most daring tiling of the war, passing in
the rear of the Federal forces, and crossing the
Potomac after eluding the vigilance of a strong
force, which it was thought would most certain
ly capture the whole party.
It said by some of our friends in Frederick
that the Federals who were in pursuit could
have easily ovei taken Gen. Stuart hail tney-de
sired it, hut they feared to measure arms with
him. There are some reasons however to doubt
tiiis as they were in sufficient force to have ac
coraplished their purpose.
The effect of this raid has been to seriously
damage the reputation of Gen. McClellan, and
atfoids a point o' attack, which the malcontents
are turning to their advantage. But few com
plaints were made of the heiiavior of Gen. Stu
art’s troops, some openly praising their gallan
try and commending the respect shown to citi
zens and private property.
FEELING IN MARYLAND.
My stay in wnupassing through the State has

who retired with the army did not have, and

SICK AND WOUNDED SOLDIERS.
No. 20—This is an important act entitled
“an act to better provide for the sick and
wounded of the enemy in hospitals,” which, if
enforced and carried out, would silence many
of the complaints in regard to the treatment of
sick and wounded soldiers in and out of foe
hospitals. The first section fixes the commuta
tion value of rations of sick and disabled sol
dier- in the hospitals at one dollar, which shall
constitute the hospital fund, for the purcbt.se
of supplies—any excess over $5,000 to be paid
into the Confederate States Treasury. The 2d
section directs the Secretary of War to make
contracts for the speedy transportation of sup
plies purchased for hospitals, or donated by in
dividuals, societies, or States, eta The 3d sec
tion allows to each hospital suits of clothing
(shirts, pantaloons and drawers,) equal to the
number of the beds in the hospital, lor the use
of the sick while in the hospital. The 4th sec
tion allows two matrons in chief, two assistant
anurous, and two other matrons for each ward
in every hospital, and prescribes their pay and
respective duties. [Every matron so employed
should be furnished with a copy cf this act.]—
The surgeon or assistant surgeon in charge cf
an hospital is authorized to employ such other
nurses (giving preierence to females) as may be
necessary to the proper care and attention of
the tick. The 5ih section provides for accomo
dating in the same hospital as far as practic
able, all sick and wounded soldiers from any
j particular State—the several hospitals to be
numbered and designated for that purpose. -

for requiring conductors to provide for the use

was here too, that Col. Douglas, of Cuthbert,
wW> was commanding Lawton s Brigade, was
wounded and iu retiring from the field, received
an additional wound, which soon destroyed
him ile was highly esteemed by his command,
and was a brave and prudent officer. It was
here also that Gen. Lawton, commanding
Ewell’s Division, received bis wound, the same
ball passing through and killing his horse.—
The wound was simply a ffesh wound, and was
regarded with no apprehension at first, but
may yet prove serious. No one doubts Gen,
Lawton’s courage, and every engagement in
which he has been, as laras I cm learn, has
tended to give him character and skill as an
officer. D is too sail a work to recount these
losses and suff erings. I noticed a piece of cun
ning aud mealiness on the field wtiich could

WHV Dll* NOT KENTUCKIANS JOIN US?
Wo are left to inquire- how and why ie is
that Bragg’s army, when in Kentucky, was
not joined by thousands of the descendants of
Boone, and Shelby, and Simon Kenton.— why
the sons of those heroes who stood by Jackson
at New Orleans,—whv these whose blood
stained every battle tielijin Mexico do| not eris
tvr the service of the South. — Knoxville Reg-
inter.
Perhaps a little reflection might enable those
who entertain such sentiments as the above to
underslnn i “how and why it is tha' Bragg was
not joined by thousands in Kentucky.” Sup*
ihiso, for instance, we reverse positions with
these brave Kentuckians, and that we were
asked to join an army of “liberation” in whose
chief commander we had little confidence, and
whom we expected to leave our Stale in a tew
per duties, careless and inattentive in their
discharge, they shall report their decision to
tin- General, who is authorized to suspend said
officer, and directed to transmit the decision,
etc., to the Secretary of War. Under the 3d
section, the Secretary, if he approve the find
ing of the Board and the action oi the General,
shall lay the same before the President, who is
authorized to retire honorably without pay, or
drop from tho army, the clffcer who has been
found unfit for his position. The 4th and 5th
sections relate to filling vacancies.
No. 70—Authorizes the grant of medals and
badges of distinction as a reward for courage
and good conduct in the tieid of battle.

weeks without accomplishing anything. Is il ] all tho privileges of prisoners of war. The nius
probable that we would join such an army an :
leave our wives, daughters and mothers, and
little ones, to the tender mercies of the brutal
Yankees? In other words, think you that we
would be very eager to deliberately give up
home, lands, property, family, everything, and
follow a retreating, vascilating nnny into a dis
tant country, leaving everything ih.it is dear
to us in tho pQsrrssijn ol fiends, with whose
hellish deeds we are fiuLLxr? A brave man

Rascai.lt Doings.—The Washington corres

An army sutler yesterday called at one of our
C ty banks to havt twenty seven dillars of Indi
ana money exchanged lor current innds, when
twenty-five dollars of the whole amount was
thrown out as counterfeit After expressing his
astonishment, the man declared that he knew of
one entire regiment that had received their State
bounty ill this very spurious money. And
from the uanker alluded to I learn that the
amount of counterfeit money now iu circulation
in the army and in this community is enormous,
and the rascals who are thus rou ting the peo
ple by the wholesale hail chiefly from Indiana,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. And there is
a mongrel concern in this city of which the fol
lowing statement is true: They paid a nun
some of their notes, which were deposited in
another bank,and though presented tor redemp
tion betore the day closed, they were refused by
the mongrel on the plea that many of their
notes bed been stolen, and they did not think
this batch genuine.

{5^* ri Sunday last firing was heard at Gen
esis Point, wi.ich was caused by the batteries
at that place firing on two Yankee gunboats
which approached the batteries. We learn
that CapL A. Bonaud, with four men, were in
a smaii boat in the vicinity of the Point when
they were discovered by the Abolitionists, who
made an attempt to capture them by sending an
armed barge in pursuit, followed by the gun
boats. The chase was kept up for about three
miles, the gunboats firing all the while at CapL
B. and his party, until the Abolitionists came
in range of the batteries, which opened on the
gunboats, after which they retired.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, October 21.—A letter from a
friend on the steamer Western World, off Da-
boy Sound, North Carolina, under date of the
I7th, says that the day before three prisoners,
from Macon, Georgia, reached the boat They
were entirely bereft of everything save a rag-
r of pantaloons
Mr. Clirfjy: Many of tbeieociera ol your val
uable paper, admire and express the wish that
you would publish the following exquisite gem
of poetry. It has appeared in several of our
Southern papers and in nearly every instance
the print was so poor as almost to mar its beau
ties, and we wish to have it published in your
usual neat aud legible print, as many wish to
preserve it It was first copied from a Wes
tern paper and the original was taken from the
pocket of a picket, who was found dead on the
Potomac. “Soldiers’ Friend.”
“AH’* Quiet «!•■{ the I'olfiinar To«night.”
“All quiet along the Potomac” they aay,
Except now and then a stray picket is shot,
Aa he walks on hie beat to and fro,
Bv a rifleman, hid in the thicket.
*Tfcj nothing—a private or two now and then,
Will not count in the uewu of ihe battle ;
Not an officer lost! only one of the men.
Moaning out all alone the death rattle.
“All quiet along the Potomac to-night,’*
When the sddiere lie peacefully dreaming;
Their tents m the rays of the clear autumn moon,
Or the light of their watch fires are gleaming;
A tremulous sigh, as the gentle night wind,
Through the forest leaves slowly is creeping;
While the stars up above with their glittering eyes,
Keep watch, for the army is sleeping.
There’s only the sound of the lone sentry’s tread.
As he tramps from the rock to the fountain;
And thinks of the two on the low trundle bed,
Faraway, in the cot on the mountain;
Hie musket falls s ack, hie (ace dark and grim
Grows gentle with memories tender,
As he murmurs a prayer for the children asleep,
For their mother, may Heaven defend her!
The moon seems to shine as brightly as then,
That night, when the love yet unspoken
Leapt up to his lips, and when the low murmured vows
Were breathed to be ever unbroken;
Then drawing his sleeve roughly over his eyes,
He dashes off tears that are welling;
And presses his guu dose up to its place
As if to keep down the heart swe. ling!
He passes the fountain, the blasted pine tree 1
The footsteps are lagging and weary;
Yet onward he goes through that broad belt ol light
To the shades of a forest so dreary.
Hark! was it the night wiud that rustled the leaves*
Was it ihe moonlight so wonderously flashing?
It looked like a rifle! Ha ! Mary, good bye!
And the life blood is ebbing and splashing!
“All quiet along the Potomac to night,”
No sound save the rush of the river;
While soft falls the dew on the face oi the dead—
The picket's off duty forever.

'ec
1.
When first the rebellion I discovered,
1 deemed it a light afiair;
Thought twenty days notice to all concerned,
Would speedily set us square.
I thought the rebels bad merely riz,
Like the niggers used to rise,
And I’de make them all disperse to their homes.
By a little stern advise.
2.
But like the man and the “young sauce box,”
That mounted the apple tree,
1 lound that soft words would not settle scores,
Twixt these rebel scamps and me.
So I se - on foot a strong blockade,
And levied an army too,
And thought what a terrible “course of sprouts’*
I would put the villains through.
3.
But nary one of my plans would serve.
And I had io try again,
For they run the blockade and the army too,
Ah witness Manassas’ plain.
Then I, Abe Lincoln, waxed wroth and foamed,
And swore ifor my blood did boil)
Like locusts 1 would reign a swarm of men,
On each inch ol rebel soil.
4.
I put McClellan, the gallant Mac,
The boss of the whole concern,
tl am now convinced betwixt you and me,
That he is'nt worth a durn.)
Mac trained the soldiers to form a line,
To “front” ^nd to “face and “wheel,**
But forgot to teach ’em the miner art
Of facing secessiou steel.
He let ’em know—and 1 praise him too,
How tc turn “eyes left” and right,
But forgot in his multitude of cares,
To learn 'em the way to tight.
Now old John Ball with an angry frown.
Was looking on meanwhile,
And the breach seemed itching to take a hand
In our little domestic brUt.
6.
The rebels dispatched a couple of men
“Athwart the foaming (old) brine,”
To negotiate in matters of state,
With men of the royal line.
Although on board of an English sloop,
I resolved they should not go,
Bo I sent out Wilkes in a double quick,
To bring ’em to Fort Moiroe.
Wilkes “fotch ’em to” like a gallant tar,
When the English sloop he met.
Or to speak in the parlance of the times,
He “raided ’em out of the wet.”
The nation rung with this brilliant deed,
Aud sounded his matchies* praise.
And there did’nt a single union tongue
Ary breath of censure raise.
o doubt but that I, Abe L.
Would be able by the laws,
To hold fast this infamous rebel twain
In my Executive paws.
But England asksd me to give them up,
“They were under English care,”
And she spoke so gram and so growiingly,
1 “shuck and trimbled” with fear.
2.
For since I’ve become a President,
Hardships have compassed me round.
But no harder-ships than the English fleet,
Are anywhere to be found.
Besides 1 already bad on hand,
What fighting 1 wed could do,
And I could but qnake at the very thought
Of fighting the English too.
10.
So while the people with triumph yelled,
Aud giggled with boastful glee,
A plan was arranged to return ’em back,
Twixt Billy Seward and me.
We suddenly foued in Vatte. s law,
Aud in all the lawn beside,
That Mase should be sent to his Ms on Lodge,
And Slidell be let to slide.
11.
Bat I must burry on to a close,
For this letter’s growing long,
Aud my health is bad aud my mind impaired.
And my nerves bj no means strong.
I have merely writ to let you know,
Slucc I quit my first pursuits.
My labors have haves ted little else
Than the bltt’rest kind of fruits.
12.
They’ve wedged McClellan in on the James,
They’ve glutted with captured store?,
They have mauled my armies and cut ’em up,
And they’ve fenced ’em in by scores.
So now dearest sir, I humbly ate
That you make a trade for me,
To resume once more my maul and wedge
For I long to “take a tree.”
