Igrr-ot of the Con federate States, labored
jy and unremittingly, for an hundred
[>r thereabout, upon the conscription and
prion bills—and the results growing there
Tare such as to give rise to wonder and
the bosoms of those, whose cou
nt prayer is, that the South may succeed
[building up her civil institutions, and pla-
Sg them upon a tirm basis. Yes, the tnoun-
kin was io “travail" for three months—and
Throught forth a parti eolored mouse. It is not

I tide attempt to disguise the fact, that our
Congress was at their last session, surround

barrassing nature. Hut still, the whole coun
try believes they (night have done better.—
In Irnining the exemption bill—many extra
neous influences were allowed to exert an in

a fearless, and patriotic discharge of duty on

THE WAR.
Thought* for Theme cow Vneierslond
Them ; By J. IF. Tucker, lot* Editor of tho
Hittonri Stat* Journal
NO. II.
In my article published yesterday, which was
meant to be prefatory to the main inquiry, at
tention was directed to the phenomenon of a
conflict of arms, prosecuted by a rich and pow
erful people, commanding every resource re
quired to insure success, speedy and decisive;
((presenting a population of twenty millions,
against another people, destitute in the begin
ning, to a great extent, of all these resources,
and representing a population of little more
than four million*, for the space of two years,
in contiguous and co teruinous territory ; and
at the end of that time the problem of ultimate
success by the stronger over ike weaker power
was more doubtful than at the beginning, and
as far lroui solution by martial conquest as
wheu the first gun was tired. Attention was
further directed to the remarkable fact that
such result bad set at naught the calculations
of military science, the conclusions of states
manship, and the predictions of the most sa
gacious advisers el European diplomacy. Now
there must be a reason—a cause .dequate and
potential—controlling these agencies, and de
termining these results; since no effect can ex
ist without an adequate and procuring cause.
Let us, therefore, lor a moment advert to
those causes—or those means—popularly re
minded and relied upon as the basis of such
results. “Our troops have fought so braveiy
and ao desperately—they are composed of men
of such exalted patriotism and invincible cour
age—they cannot be conquered.”
Admitting gratefully and unhesitatingly the
sublime courage and devotion of rrmtt of the
Confederate soldiers, it may be remarked that
the troops of the enemy have exhibited, in
most instances, a dete mined and obstiualt
courage on the field, which would, under other
circumstances, have entitled them to the high
est admiration; while they outnumbered outs
in the proportion of two or three to one, having
the advantage also of being better armed an<1
provided. It may be further remaiked, that of
tile men in arms for the Confederate cause, it
ha* happened, that about one half, at most,
two thirds, have actually done the fighting; the
remainder have been sick, or tut off from their
eemminJ* at an unlortunate moment, or strag-
equals and no superior. Thai it is the settled,
indexible purpose of the Commander in chief
to strangle Gen. Price, and leave him without
the means of making bis eminent talent avail
able to his country, is a conclusion fully justi
fied by facts open to the public.

icrs are able to perceive the cause of our
sslul resistance in the distinguished abili
;y ol our commanding officers. In relation to
his it may be remarked, wo have contended
with commanding officers of great ability on
the other side. Gen. Scott was beyond cavil a
great commander; and the more we learn ol
his views, and his administration, the more we
are compelled to adm re his wisdom and his
genius as a military chief. His plan-, only,
have proved most successful to the loe and
most disadvantageous to tho Confederate cause

Lee, exalted genius and civic virtue that re
mind us of the immortal patriot hero whose
ashes rest at Mount Vernon; and while we have
m many subordinate commanders the talcut

shals of Napoleon ; the results of comparison
do not furnish to the inquiring mind a satis
factory reason for the la lure of our enemy to
break through our force, and scatter our ar
mies. On tho contrary, that we have grit v-
hliman nature, would have inferred j ou „|y Mu flered, particularly in the West, by the

Kiilly about the achievements ol our solil-

born refusal of the government to make such
talent available when it existed, or to furnish
adequate means for its employ incut—is a eon
elusion at wh.ch an enlightened people have
| already soberly and unchangeably arrived.

of Divinity had taken residence in the bush,
and therefore it burned, but consumed not ! —
A voice from tho realm of the unseen and un

FROM TIIE 5»th GEORGIA REGIMENT.
Castr nkak Brooks’ Tukxpikk, (
Four miles from Richmond, Nov. 21, ’62.)
Editor Telegraph: My delay in writing for
seveial days has been caused, first, tor want of
something either pleasant or profitable to com
inumcate, and second, the lold and we. weather
we have recently experienced in camps. The
dwellers in tents arc supposed to be in barbar
ous Iatw Latin—tout temp* prit, always ready
with the musket; but (he pen, although a
-waller and perhaps a mightier instrument, is
not ao easily wielded. The force and effect of
the one, is dependent on the coarser nerves and
muscles, that of the other, on the strength of
the brain attuned to the harmonies ofsurruund-
ing objects, fleeting emotions of sympathies
and affections, which will not always act as
servants at the bidding of the will The elo
quence and inspiration of the pen is often saved
or lost by opportunity, but this opportunity to
those who go a soldiering is seldom improved
through reason of cold, hunger and weariness.
On the whole, we have come to the conclusion af
ter some experience, a good deal of observation
and reflection, that the present theory and
practice is wrong—to starve aud ireeze men
into either writers or fighters. Writers have
ceased to live ou cobwebs, and soldiers on corn
cobs. If you wish the one to have thoughts
worthy to be recorded for the benefit of pos
terity, and the other to do, to be gratefully re
membered, you must keep them well fed, well
sheltered, and well clothed. Falsiaff under
stood the philosophy ol this idea when he wrote
learnedly on sack and expressed himself
ashamed to march his hungry, ragged, dirty
company through Coventry, aud gave it as hi.-
opinion that his soldiers were th eves and cow
ards—that they would steal linen from every
hedge, aud fly like wild ducks at the report of a
culverin, all for the want oj good eating and
drinking !
We think (and we are not singular in the
thought) that our Government is extfemely
careless, if not criminally culpable, in the feed
ing and clothing ot our soldiers. We are glad
that this subject is beginning to attract public
attention through tile criticisms of the press.
The French and E.iglish soldier is well cared
lor by his respective government, and the re
cord of a thousand battles, where the tri-color
and hlood-ted banner of England have waved
in triumph, hut attest the gratitude and brav
ery of their sons, in defending the laud ol their
sires and the home of their affections. Much
of the suffering of our soldiers may Iwattribut
ed to their prove!bid want of forethought ami
carelessness—much may he charged to the
ignorance, dissipation, and consequent selfish
ness and arrogance, of some of the heller paid
officers ; still there is a w ide margin un which
to inscribe the delinquencies of tho govern
menl and ila agents. When Congress refuses
to pay the privates but eleven dollars
month, and voles its members thousands ba
the year; when hall rations of beef and flout
are only miserly doled out to ihosu who,lhruii
hot and cold, through snow ami tempest, have
lell wile, children and friends to tight for the
truth and the right; when shoes aud blankets
Cannot or will not he supplied, and the flow
and strength of our army is left without pity
to perish beneath the winds and storm
of Heaven; it is time to think soberly,
humbly and justly upon our condition, and
reveal the cause of so much individual aud
national misery. As we said last August
through the columns of the Telegraph, “l'he
wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of our
soldiers should demand a more certain aud sub
slantial consideration than idle wind, for the
lives, the broken limbs and diseased, mangled
bodies of their natural protectors, while they
at home are exposed to the ‘tender mercies' of
land sharks and nlood suckers.”
On Friday, the 7th of this month, we had
considerable fall of snow. Col. McDowell’s N,
C. Regiment was ordered that day to Culpcps
per C. II., and it was sad to see the poor sold
iers trudging along through mud and cold
many ol whom were barefoot. It was hard to
realize that each tap of the drum which sum
moned the brave soluier to duty aud death waa
echoed by a pang of his physical suffering.—
The men ftotn that good old, brave State are
generally well provided, hut no shoes will long
withstand this soil and climate in camp.
A f«-w clays ago a delegation of ten, one from
each company of our regiment was authorized
to go home for twenty-one days to obtain sup
plies of shoes, blankets and other necessaries
for the destitute in their respective companies
\Ye hope a kind and sympathetic ear will be
given to their appeals, and that each donor
will '•ealiae that it is “more blessed to give than
recc v ”—that charity is twice blessed, it bless
es him who gives and he who receives. The
return to camp of these gentlemen will be look
ed for with anxious solicitude. It will paralyze
or give increased vigor to many a strong arm
and cheer or sadden many a brave heart
In my last communication you were inform
ed that two N. C. regiments, a Mississippi ana
our’s composed a Brigade. Since then the
programme has been changed and with the
62th, the Brigade is now composed of the 2d
Mississippi, Col. Stone, 11th ditto Col. Butler,
and 42d ditto. Col. M ller, together with
Battery of Light Artillery. Gen. Davis, the
commander of the Brigade, is a brother and
not a nephew of the President. It is said he
is ignorant of the art ol war, the science of
cutting throats,but our Mississippi friends have
figured in the battles from Richmond to Sharps
burg. We hope if any victories are to be
gained that they wi.l not take all the glory—
and if any running is done that they will not
give us too much credit for the Rwiftness of our
heels. Our bad acts we do not wish extenua s
or our good, repudiated. So far, however, as
hard li-tiling here, is concerned, we do not be
lieve we will reap a harvest of glory or shame
—for old Winter will soon place a blockade
upon ail their iuuoccnt intentions ol—“on to

On yesterday at 4 o'clock A. M., a courier
arrived with orders to inarch at 7, with four
day’s rations, ton bridge on South Anna rive*-,
between our caiup sod Fredericksburg. Tbe
regiment left at the appointed hour, in fine
spirits. Your correspondent, with two from
each company, was detailed to the honorable,
but not aery warlike, service of guarding the
tents and baggage in the absence of the regi
ment. The enemy has aga.n occupied Frede
ricksburg in force, after some skirmishing and
tue destru itiou or a quantity of tobacco by
our troops.
Win. Ballard Preston, the distinguished Sen
sfor irom this Slate, died on Sunday last at his
resilience in Montgomery county. The voice
which we had the pleasure of hearing so often
at the late session of Congress, is now mute on
earth forever. He was a noble son of the moth
er ol statesmen, heroes and patriots.
Gen. Gustavus W. Smith has been appointed
Secretary of War ad interim, in place of Hon.
George Randolph, resigned.
In this climate it may be said with literal
truth, that “we cannot tell what a day will
bring forth.” A few days ago the weather was
exceedingly cold, wet and disagreeable—now
it is as soft as Spring. The song of the wren
mingled this morning with the shouts of our
warriors as they bore themselves onward to
meet the advancing enemy. May God bless
them with clear akies, warm nights, strong
arms, merry hearts, and, above all, with good
appetites and full haversacks, and a safe de
liverance from every danger by flood, field,
railroad agents and apple and potato fenders.

which in the judgment ol the Association and

When the steamer struck, two boats were

serauo, Captain General of Cuba, knocking ’ aavc, a.Uu Leu.-n oi Aumini.i
him down and seriously disfiguring his face. * J
During the excitement of the fight, the Rusk
was fired by toe Yankees, aud she was des'.uy-
cd. No lives were lost, Captain Smith and his
party having escaped to the -hore. The Yan
kees were very insulting while on board the
Rusk, and when told the vessel was protected
curing clothing and shoes for destitute Geor- j ^ ; * ni * Spanish Hags, they swore
... . . ... roundly that they “dilnt care a d—n for
giariK, and has been made by recommendation j „ ither and or Spain ! *
of the Governor, and brought to the attention
of the Legislature for its sanction. No por
tion of the clothing purchased by the expendi
ture has been sold to any person, by the Asso
c aiiou or iu agents. “A Georgian” writes as
if the sum of $200,OtK) appropriated by the
State was to furnish clothing to any that may
need it; whereas it is only for the sick and
wounded. It would be absurd to suppose that
if the $200,000 could be used foi this purpose,
that it would bo sufficient to clothe all our
Georgia soldiers in the field.
Again, it is said by your correspondent that
a larger amount had boen received from pri
vate eo uribulions than from the State. This
is a mistake. The amount iu cash (from all
sources,) received Irom private contributions,
from the organization of the Association to the
present time, has been about $67,000. It is
true that we have received a great amount of
Hospital supplies, such as quilts, pillow-cases,
matrasses, Ai, but we have received very little
in the way of shirts, drawers, pants, Ac., from
this source. These we have tried to supply to
the destitute, by purchase and manufacture
of the articles needed. It is tho destitute which
we have endeavored to supply.
It we had to clothe ail the Georgia troops,
millions would be necessary, instead of thous
and*.
there is a fund controlled by this Associa
tion which has been contributed by thu private
supscriptiuii of our people, and which has been
entrusted tu this Association without limita
tion, except that it is to be applied for the ends
and purposes of the Association, such as I have
stated them. This fund has been used in tbe
best judgment of the Association and its offi
cers, for the relief of our soldiers' reasonable
wants whenever they presented themselves.—
Whenever any such want was met with in a
destitute soldier, it was relieved. But the ex-
committee was constantly informed by tbeir
agents and especially by their general agent,
Mr. Selkirk, that officers and soldiers were re
peatedly met with, who could not he consider
ed destitute ; who would refuse to be so con
side-red, and who, therefore, would decline to
take an article of clothing for example, as a
gratuity, expressing a desire to have the ar.
tide, and pay for it what it wag reasonably
worth, and remarking that they might be al
lowed thus to have it, and be saved from hav
ing to purchase it from a speculator. Such ap
plications were extremely reasonable, and it
eemed hard, by refusiug to accomodate such
persons, who were able and willing to pay a
reasonable price, to force them into tho hands
of extortioners. These view* was strongly pre
sented to the ex-couimittee by the general
agent, and upon his urgent recommendation,
that coinmitie adopted the policy of having
garments and shoes made from the Relief Fund
(uot the State Fund), and placed them in the
hands of its agents in Virginia, with instruc
tions to furnish them to destitute soldiers, who
did not avow themselves able and willing tu
pay for them, without price. But if an officer
or soldier needed an article, and was able and
willing to pay something for it, to furnish it at
a reasonable price, not exceeding cost aud
charges; and thus by selling to him at leas
than the price asked by mercantile venders ot
the article, to afford a substantial relief and
accommodation to him, (able to pay some
thing,) and then we could put tie money recoil
ed into a similar article, which might lie furn
ished at another time to a destitute soldier
who would be unable to pay
We have no reason to believe, from informa
tion received, tl at there has been any depar
ture troiii these our instructions; and from the
same sources ol information, we suppose, that
all the sales of this sort put together, would
not exceed five hundred dollars. We have no
doubt that the course we have pursued will he
generally acceptable to all our people. We are
sure that it is just. W. H. Pottxk,
