order, i; will be the only daily paper puolishei
in Mniedgeville during the approaching session ol
the Legislature.
TERMS:
One copy for the session, $1 00
Six copies for 5 00
We will endeavor to make our dailv pnper a re
liable medium of legislative business, and bopt
■he pub.ie will give us a liberal support, as tin
tine s are hard, and material high.
HOUGHTON, NISBET & BARNES,
t V Will our brethren of the press give this no
tire a few insertions ?
Our Itiikij-.
We would ask our readers the favor to state to
their neighbors and friends the fact, that the
Daily Southern Fedcial Union will be published
usueual. during the session of the Legislature
It is the only daily paper that will be published in
Milledgeville during the session. The terms are
the same as last year, though work and material
are much more expensive. We have undertaken
the enterprise anticipating the wants of the pub
iie in this respect, and relying on their apprecia
tien of our efforts to supply them, for a generous
support. For three years we have issued a dailv
paper during the session, and have lost time and
money on the project. At the next session tlier
sill be no other paper in this place to divide the
patronage, and we are induced to believe that
our labors will be better rewarded than hereto
Postmasters and others sending us $5 00 for a
cinb of five, will be entitled to receive the sixth
copy gratis.
We hope that our friends will exert themselves
to get us up lists of subscribers for their respect
iva localities. Of course no paper will be sent,
unless the money accompanies the order. Send
in the names at once, that we may arrange our
Mail Book.
T!ir next I.rgiitliiturr.
No previous General Assembly of Georgia, has
surpassed the one about to convene in this city in
the ability or moral worth of its members. One
has but to glance over the roil to bo satisfied that
the present Legislature is an honor to the peopb
who have chosen it. The Senators are not. the
m in who have tilled the honored seats in that
body during times of high political excitement
They are the solid 1 n of the country, brought
out of their loug retirement, by the temper of the
tones and the demands of patriotism. With one
or two exceptions they are men who have never
aspired to seats in Congress or posts of honor
under the rule of parties. The people will rest in
security while such custodians of the public inter
est are on guard.
In the House we find almost a new set of men,
and we may safely add, that a large majority ot
them are men of intelligence and high standing
We miss the familiar names of the Lewises, Fan
nin, Milledge, Smith of Towns, Harris of Glynn ;
hut their vacancies are supplied by Love and
Moore of Thomas. Bigliam of Tronp, Cabaniss ot
Monroe. Akin of Cass, Whittle of Bibb, Cochrane
ofGlyns,, Schley of Richmond, Briscoe of Bald
win. Mallard of Liberty. Liwson cf Putnam,
Woodworth of Pike, Hook of Washington, and
r me others quite as prominent.
The ficurralH ot* the Prr.s.
•Some Editors of Southern Daily papers are
d^satisfied with the way our Generals on the
Potomac have managed thing3, and are loud
mouthed in censure of what they consider weak
ness or incapacity in our military leaders.
The Charleston Courier touches off these pen
sa l ink Generals after the loilowing fashion.
“The reasons are special for two o’clock,’’ was
! r ply of the gallant Beauregard to a dispatch
bom tuc War Department at Montgomery, oruer-
JJ'K him, if possible, to begin bis attack on Fort
Sumter a few hours earlier than be bad expected.
Is it to be supposed that such a General 1ms been
compelled to remain in idle, or needless, or pur-
I'O <• esg repose? Has nothing been done in the erec
tion ot the batteries commanding the Potomac?
Admitting it was possible to have pursued the
panic-stricken fugitives from Manassas and to
have captured Washington, what would have
been gained while the Potomac was open to the
Lincoln Navy?
” bat would be gained at any time by a raid
into tbe enemy's teritory without proper support
fid communication? Are we not too prone to
f l ow European ideas and modes of thought, and
tucvtisider the possession of the Capital as the
only and necessary result of any war?
Thr 19,000,000 Loan, and Ihc Colton Sub
scription.
The Richmond Examiner of the Gth inst. makes
the following statement in relation to the lean to
the Government:
it will bo seen that $5,000,000 are still needed
tinder the authorised loan of fifteen millions.—•"
This is the best investment now offering in this
Ciuntry to men who have money by them. They
®ii the Government at the same time they secure
a profitable and safe investment. The books are
•till open for subscriptions. Tbe coupons at
tacked to the bunds are paid whenever due, by
Ranks in Savannah, and the holder of the Bonds
has no trouble whatever in the matter of collect-
in 2 the interest
We subjoin the statement of the Richmond Ex
aminer which is no doubt official.
TIIE GOVERNMENT I.OAXS.
The Confederate States Government, in the
*-ar!y part of the year, authorized a loan of $15,-
"oo.omt. Some $8,000,000 of it were prompt by
fabscribed for. and it has been generally supposed
Jbat by this time the whole had been taken.
]bis, we understand, is a popular mistake. 'I hero
still five millions of this loan not taken, and
•or which, we understand, the Government has
'till open its books for subscription.
The produce loan ha? been a success from the
beginning. At the time of the surrender of Fort
''muter, when war was shown to be inevitable,
tbe cecietary of the Treasury called upon the
plunders ol the Confederate States for a subscrip-
*•»» of 1 ,(1110,000 bales of cotton—worth, say
«’0,1(00,OUO—to be paid for in 8 per cent bonds,

Onr Hnndsauir Neighbor.
We are determined not to be behind our Mili
ary and Literary brother of the Recorder, iu
uagnaniinity or generosity. H e has withdrawn
charges of indelicacy and bad motives, and
•ccords to nssinority and discernment in our ad-
• racy ofihe claims of Governor Brown. In ail
ns, we .liink he does us no more than strict jus-
0 • ■ On our part, we give him credit for more
, “ ,h “ Patience of Job; and although he dif-
red from Solomon in some respects, we were dis
posed to give him the benefit of tl at difference.
• l is surely ought to satisfy any ordinary man,
•ut it seents it did not satisfy our handsome
lughLor. lie forgot all of these high encomi
uni, and dwelt only on an unlucky quotation we
•lade from “Holy Writ,” in reference to Phara
oh s lean kine. In justice to ourself and to our
neighbor, we will here state, that we would have
eft out the word “illfuvored" if we could have
lone so, without spoiling the point and force of
lie who.e quotation. But who could fora mo
ment believe that bad any reference to our harid-
*o.ne neighbor ? Or who could have believed.
h.U .u Georgia Major, and the renowned author
if \\ ilkins Wilder, could have been so unduly
vusitive about his personal beauty ? But seeing
'hat it has given him so much pain, we retract
uid take back the word *•iljarond. ' and if that
is not enough, we will lake back the whole sen-
ence. But we warn our neighbor to beware of
uordinate ambition, “by that sib, thu angels fell."
Vo human being ever yet excelled in all things.
He has already rivalled Plutarch in Biography .
Walter Scott in fiction, and Shakspeare in the
Drama : and not content with all this, ho even
•resumes to compare himself with us in personal
•ttractions. Had he been satisfied to have rested
ipon his literary merits, he might have enjoyed
iis ‘otium cuat dignitatc" unchallenged and uu-
nolested by us. But since he presumes to set up
for a beauty, and to make invidious comparisons in
hat respect, we insist that bis picture shall be
taken, and exhibited as a frontis piece in his next
iterary production. His face ought to have
been placed on the fly leaf of the “Bench & Bar"
tnd “Wilkins Wilder” It might have saved
ome unlucky book seller from loss, an l many a
reader lrom a long, dull and fruitless search after
knowledge under difficulties; for it is not to be
supposed that any man would buy, or commence
reading the book, after getting a glance at the
tiiiiz of the author. There is one other point upon
vhich we must still differ with our handsome
teighbor. ne still contends, that it is wrong to
(raw arguments from “Holy Writ” in favor of
iov. Brown. We contend, that the Bible was
given 11s as the man of onr counsel, not only
on Sundays and in church, but at all times, in our
taily walk and conversation. But to make
unends for this difference, we will admit that
Wilkins W iider and the Major’s dramatic prndtic-
ions, may be read, when Milton and Shakspeare
ire forgotten, and that he may become the model
if masculine beauty when the Apollo Belvidere
■ball be out of fashion ; ki t not until then.
The .Macon Tclegrngttffii a Fog.
The Telegraph of the 9th inst , says, we taunt
he Georgia press with having no influence. We
have never said or believed any such filing, and
we are at a loss where the Telegraph could have
picked up such information, unless it was where
'hat letter signed Joe ISroutn, and withdrawing
•iis name fiom the canvass, was picked up; they
100k very much as if they were both the handiwork
of the same person. We said in substance, that
Governor Brown had been elected, with a largo
majority of the Georgia press agiinst him. We
believe that every Newspaper has more or less in-
iluence for good or evil: and we believe also, that
some papers have an inverted influence, that is,
■he stronger they oppose a candidate, the more likely
he is to he elected.
General (ftuuiter) Anilrruon.
This man is returning the kindness extended
him by the citizens of Charleston and the author
itiee of the Confederate States Government by
•ailing on Kentuckians to bow their necks to
Lincoln’s despotism, or become targets for the
guns of Lincoln’s hireling soldiery. Gen. Ander
son was understood to be a gentleman ; but he
Mas shown the cloven foot iu Kentncky, and will
take position in history beside the degraded
wretches who have made war on women and
children and the helpless sick and wounded. Be-
ow wo givo an extract from his infamous procla
mation to the people of Kentucky and tho just
and forcible comments of the Charleston Courier.
1’hat “flag" appealed to so fondly is not the flag
“onr fathers loved,” but the symbol of tyranny
an inhumanity.
“Rally, then, my friends, around the tlag our
fathers loved, which has shielded us so long ”
So says that snivelling hypocrite, Robert Ander
son, in his appeal to Kentuckians. This idolatrous
and insane devotion to a rag which has so long
ceased to be respected as a flag, and has become
a nuisance, flouting its rotten folds and fragments
to the disgust of all Christian eyes and noses, is
exhibited by men who habitually figbt under oth
er flags. At the battle of Oak Hill, in Missouri,
tlit Yankees displayed the Confederate flag, and
our valiant biockaders have made all their captures
nearly under the fraudulent use cf the English or
French colors.
Tbr Grot-gin Hoy* Winning I-nurda.
Within a f*-w days past intelligence has been
received of several engagements with the enemy,
iu all of which Georgia boys have covered them-
s-lve? with glory. At Green Briar, under Gen.
Henry R. Jackson, on the coast ot North Carolina,
under Col. A. R. Wright, and on Santa Rosa Is
land in the Gulf of Mexico; iu all these engage
ments, onr Georgia troops hare proved their valor
and their invincibility. Several noble spirits have
fall-eii in these encounters, whose death we deeply
deplore, but whose memory will be dear to every
true Georgian while the stars twinkle and the riv

To send mere youths to the War is folly—it is
criminal They die. This, is not all. If they
were at home at college, tlie7 would be preparing
themselves for the duties and responsibilities ot
citizens, and learning something of military tac
ties, at the same time that their bodies would bi

University the education of the soldier and the
citizen is combined. We do hope that our young
men will not be permitted to neglect their educa
tion—military and physical no less than mental
We ask parents to reflect a moment.

Messrs. Editors: Permit me through your col
umns to correct an error which seems to be in cir
culation, relative to my resignation. I dissolved
connection with the 14th Georgia Regiment from
physical inability, and from no other cause. I re
gret the cause which occasioned the separation. I
never shrank from tie duties imposed upon me by
my office, nor would I. 1 had presumed that I had
satisfied my friends concerning my resignation,
and it is through their persuasion that 1 desire to
give this publicity, to counteract the influence of
enemies who would not sciuple to injure me by
circulating filse reports.
Subjoined your will find a letter to me from Col.
Brumby, written after I had inlormad him of rny
intention to resign. W. S. RAMSAY.
Huntersville, Va., Aug. 19, 1661.
Col. W. S. Ramsay: Dear Sir, While I have 110
reason to question the wisdom, or the propriety of
your resignation, believing that you have been in
fluenced by patriotic and conscientious considera
tions, together with the advice of your friends, yet
I feel that it is due to us both that I should express
to you my rpgret at your separation from us. Our
acquaintance commenced in Atlanta at the organ
ization of the Regiment. Tho responsible position
assigned to us by the Volunteers of ‘he 14th Regi
ment has of necessity brought us together so of
ten every day on business of great importance,
that I regard you already as a true and tried friend
Your deportment towards all the men of the Regi
ment, and towards myself especially, together with
your strict attention to all duties assigned you,
has already* secured for you my* confidence and es
teem. 1 regret therefore the circumstances which
induce you to leave us, but beg to assure you that
it will always afford me pleasure to hear of your
good health and of your success in all good things
Very truly your friend, Ac.

September28th, loot, t
Messrs. Editors Southern Federal Union:
After a long period of painful inactivity, during
which our minds had become negative, being de
prived of the stimulus a soldier always needs, we
have again entered upou real military life. From
the quiet camp we had occupied, near Manassa,
since 22d July, we have cornu into the immediate
presence of the enemy, having seen his blue jack
ets, and heard his balls sweep, hissing, past our
ears. We have within the present week experi
enced a little of two different kinJs of fighting,
the outpost skirmish, and the open field fight
The former though desultory in its character, has
neverthless its share of risk and a peculiar kind
of excitement; the latter, though more dangerous,
is at the same time more stimulating: because,
in combination with the sense of duty, the patri
ot’s motive, it unites great ideas, noble aspirations,
and eleva:ed sentiments. If, therefore, in battle
tbe soldier is in mote danger, be is the better pre
pared to meet it.
8ix days ago, the 9th Regiment was ordered to
Muuson’s Hill for advance guaid duty. The hill
is eleven miles from our present encampment,
arid ten from Fail fax C. II. The regiment mulch
ed at 7 A. M-, Sunday the 22J. Arriving at the
hill at 12 M., my company was at once thrown
forward on the line of ou’posts. The position as
signed us has a tront of two hundred yards, is
half a mile beyond the hill and to its left. Care
ful inspection soon revealed the position of the
enemy about five hundred yards to our front
His reserve, or picket, was posted in a large build
ing opposite to our right flank, known as Bag
ley s House, having rifle pits advanced opposite
each flank—had a quiet time on guard—not a shot
fired on either side during the first tour—relieved
at sunset Sunday evening, and joined the main
body on the hill.
Munson's Hill is west of the capitol. From
its top the landscape is spread out in almost a
complete panorama It presents, strikingly, that
ptieal illusion which makes plains appear to as
cend from the observer. Here the surrouuding
country, though undulatory, seems to use „n all
aides, fexcept about forty degrees northward,
where tho view is intercepted by adjacent hills,
on all sides from the observer until the rays that
meet tho eye from the most distant points visible
coincide nearly with the axis of the eye; lienee
the hill is apparently situated in a largo basin, the
dge of which is as high as the hilltop. Facing
towards Alexandria on our right, one mile distant,
is Mason’s Hill, now occupied by one of our pick
ets; oil our left is the Soldier 3 Home; looming
upon the distant horizon, a little to tha right ot
this, in full view is the dome of the capitol in
Washington; to the right of the capitol is the
Insane Asylum; between the Asylum and Alexan
dria. stretching across an opening in the dense
woodlands in front, shining in the morning sun.
like a street of burnished silver, is distinctly visi
hie the beautiful l’otomac, and diiectly in our
front, over the walls of Fort Ellsworth, waves
grac fully in the boutliern biecze, the stars and
stripes. Fort Ellsworth appears from this point
to be iu the suburbs ot Alexandria. It is distinct
ly visible to the naked eye. By the aid of a itlass
fifteen embrasures are to be seen, all for barbette
guns, but no guns are yet mounted. Working
parties could be seen at several points on the wal,
fronting towards our position, while the bayonets
of Federal sentinels glittered in the sun from the
parapet.
Very early in the forenoon, Monday, a few mus
kef, shots could he heard along the line ot out
posts. The firing soon became general along a
tine nparly two miles in length. The right of our
outposts rested behind some old houses; the Fed
erals opposite occupied two houses ami several
rifle pits. Here the firing was Kept tin with spirit
on both sides. The bails of the enemy, though
projected fiom the distance of five or six hundred
yards, fell all around us, after passing near oui
heads, with force sufficient to penetrate solid tim
bers to the depth of four inches. A brisk fife was
kept up the whole day ; strange to say, however,
no injury w as done on our side except one slight
wound. The Y’ankecs were seen to carry off otic
of their men in a blauket—another was seen to
fail; whether any damage was done to those in the
pits is, of course, not to be ascertained. This
kind of warfare is certainly illegal and dishonora
ble ; and hence, should be continued only in cases
where the enemy begins it. It has been positive
ly forbidden by our commanding-genoral; but our
men aie so eager for a figbt that it is quite difli
cult to execute the order. Some of the officers
and mrn of our army have gone to the other ex
treme by holding friendly correspondence with
the Federate; meeting on halfway ground, aud
exchanging tobacco and whiskey. I have not
seen any such correspondence but it, no doubt
hax been done.
Some amusing incidents occur on our line of
outposts. The distance between the lines being
too great for the range of the common musket, i;
is comparatively inefficient; henc?. a shot from
one of these muskets on cur side is often answer
ed by a Federal sentinel throwing a rock, or in
some way giving an expression of defiance. On
one occasion a Yankee taunted tbe Confederates
by calling them "negro driver*,” which was re
torted by the jeering allusion to Bull Run, “lmvi
you any more haversacks to throw away T” Some
times these jests degenerate into tho most pro
fane tirades.
My company was on duly again from Monday
to Tuesday. On Tuesday evening, the 9t.h Regi
ment was relieved from duty at Munson’s Hill,and
returned as far as Fall’s Church. On Wednesday
morning our pickets in the direction of Lewenville.
driven in, reported the enemy advancing with a
force of ten thousand men and eighteen pieces ot
artillery. At 12 M., our Regiment, the Georgia
Regulars, one piece of the Washington Artillery
and a small detachment of cavalry, nil undei
command of Col. Stewart, ivere in march to meet
the expected attack, on a road to the left of tha
leading to Lewenville, other detachments being
sent forward to hold the enemy in check at othei
points accessible to him. About 4 I* M. the ene
my was discovered about one mile from our right
flank, drawn up in battle array. His position wa>
about one mile from Lewenville. and four from
Fall’s Church. The necessary reconnoisance be
ing made, our little band of less than one thotis
and men, aud one field piece, rushed forward with
alacrity, in double quick time, to meet and engage
a foe outnumbering it more than ten to one. We
had proceeded 110 farther than two hundred yards
when the battle began by our artillery throwing
shells into the ranks of the enemy. About the
same time he was vigorously assailed at another
point to our left. The fire of our field piece was
returned promptly Skirmishing parties were
now thrown forward to engage tbe Federal sharp
shooters, but they had retired out {of sight before
our skirmishers could get in range. The firing
ceased for a time, oui cavalry and artillery being
in pursuit of the retreating enemy. Darknes-
coming on, the firing could not be renewed, except
our artillery gave tbe Y’ankees a few parting shots
as they retir d precipitately in the direction of the
Chain Bridge. After dark wo returned to Fall’s
Church having lest one slain. It is quite proba
ble that our shells did considerable execution
among tbe enemy; the first one thrown was ob
served to burst in Ids ranks. Blood was found at
several places where the shells exploded. One
Y’ankce prisoner was taken.
It is difficult to understand this movement oi
tbe enemy ; and we are surprised that he did not
make a more vigorous effort to maintain his posi
tion. The day being too far advanced to light a
decisive battle, we confidently expected a renewal
of the contest on the following morning; but in
this we were mistaken ; for, on the next day all
was quiet. Probably the enemy only designed to
feel his way in h direction inaccessible to the ob
servations of bis seronaut, who may be seen from
Munson's Hill making bis ferial trips regularly
crsry morning and evening. Whether these ob
servations, and the movement towards Lewenville
arc preparatory to a general advance of the Fed
eral Army remains to bo seen. Be this as it may,
the Confederate Army of the Potomac is fully
prepared to meet its advances, and to inflict a de
feat more terrible than anything that has yet be
fallen our enemies since tbe conflict began. Our
commanding-general lias not been idle during the
last two months. He has had ample time to con
ceive wisely and develop maturely, and has doubt
less used it well. And while our works of de
fense have been progressing, reinforcements, both
in men and artillery have been forwarded to our
support. We should be pleased at the advance of
the enemy ; for we feel confident that a great vic
tory would result to our arms. 26th we returned
to our encampment. 27th a strong gale is blow
ing from the east—rain incessantly—ground is
becoming quite soft—tent pins giving way—some
tents failing—it is with great difficulty that we
can prevent all of them coming down and leav
ing us exposed to the pelting storm- 28th. The
sun shines from a cloudless sky—the west wind,
cool and bracing, sweeps with chilling effect,
through the encampment. Health of the Regi
ment improves. BENJ. BECK.
Naval Engagement oil’ (be Const of North
Carolina.
Capture of the V. S. Steamer Fanny and
Forty-Nine Prisoners, withe a Large
Amount of Stores!—Col. Wright and
Com. Lynch Com'dg—Third Georgia
tn the Fight.
M e are indebted to a friend, of Madison, Geo.,
for the following letter, giving an account of the bril
liant engagement off the North Carolina Coast:
Ehzabeth City, N. C., }
Oct. 4tn. 1661. j
Mr. Editor : Being thus far, returning from Roanoke
Island, aud detained for a few hours. I propose a short
account of the Third Regiment Georgia Volunteers.
And first of all: on yesterday forty-nine prisoners from
Hatteras were placed on a barge "in from of the camp,
who, the night before bad been taken by un expedition
commanded by Col. Wright, aud composed of tbe
Dawson Grays’, Athens Guards and Wilkinson Rifles.
The command were on board the steamers Raleigh,
Curiew, and Junaluska, a part of Commodore Lynch’s
squadroD. These steamers were armed with cannoD.
On Thursday last, at 21-2 P. JkL, the whistles soun
ded. the “tiibands” of the Confederate States kissed
the rising breeze, and off tbe little army and navy
went: Commodore Lynch commanding all the stea
mers.
Is two hears and a half tho d**p mouthed dogs of
I war, let loose; told us in camp thejwork was going on.
Presently; quicker and quicker came tbe booming thun-
,’fT Hatteras, and she tens ours.
8he made ail the resistance she could, but was taken.
Armed with two pieces (one a rifled cannon;) and those
49 men (one acontrabnnd of war in uniform)—she was
carrying immense army s’ores to the 14th Indiana
Regiment, then establishing a camp abont 20 mile?
from ours
Y'esterdny the captured Fanny was unloaded, and
before now has, in nil probability", done us good service.
For as we came away the cannon. at 0 P. M , when we
were 15 miles off apprised us that the fleet and army
were again in motion.
The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, probably
worth fro,000 or $ SO.000. One item is l,00u army
overcoats.
The prisoners are detachments from various compa
nies at Hatteras, and were commanded by Capt.
Hart, of the 1 Itii Indiana regiment.—Twelve of them
are from the New Y'ork 9th Regiment, and were ac
ting as artillerymen.
They are safe in good hands, and treated as priso
ners of war. Lieut. Harris of the Home Guards, had
them in charge when we left and, all hands on the
barge were desirous to find all the comforts in open
decks afforded, in the bright sunshine.
This was indeed nn episode in the life of the regiment
Since taking quarter? there, they have worked dav
mid night a good part of the time, doing it more rapid
ly ban the Engineer could plan it. Three batteries of
guns, so far as the soldiers could finish them,
were completed in less than ten days, and the black-
throated “peace-makers” now lie quietly in their pla
ces. ready topass It is not right to say’fullv what the
work is; it iriu*t be sure to realize tho labor those forti
fications required at tiie hands of our soldiers. Yerv
much of it was done without proper implements, in a
burning sun, or rainy night, without a word of com
plaint or dissatisfaction. Col. Wright told me I ought
to see the boys clearing up the ground with pocket
knives, and now they enjoyed the fun.
The regiment is full oflife.and unwilling to lose the
results of this work, which, with severe fighting, ought
to give it a large victory and many more prisoners.
It has lost only seven or eight men by death since its
organization. And after measles and mumps were
over, no large number of men at any time, liave been
sick.
Awaydown lu re, or there in North Carolina, it was
very pleasant in the deep thick woods of Roanoke
Island, to be with 900 or 1,000 of Georgia’s best men
and blood, all, nil at fever beat for a good fight.
It was my good fortune to arrive at the cantonment
on Saturday evening, and ns onr arrival wss the first in
a week with a mail, of eours we had a hearty Georgia’s
welcome.
But a little while passed and a very many were rea
ding long and loving letters from dear ones far “away
down in Dixie. ’
if v stay was very well occupied; I enjoyed the hospi-
tnlitiesof Stnfi Oflieers. enptnms and privates, and I
believe they nil live alike.
And now Mr. Editor, if any other regiment
from Georgia wants hard work to do, let it enter list
against this 3d—to frolic, work or light—and its hands
are full.
Rev. R. 1$. Lester is Chaplain, and he gives ns a
good sermon on Sunday morning. Four of the
Captains and many of the men are professors of reli
gion.
I would like to name certain officers whom I knew
before they came here, but, sir, they are all officers and
men, from the Slate of Georgia, and have come here
to do just one thing—their duty to their country and
themselves.
Before your renders get this, some one will give you
a full account of all their acts and doings in the enter
prises just now on their hands. Of their success
there is no doubt. “The next gale that sweeps from
the North" to you, may say Hatteras is again “we’ll
see what we shall see." Y'ours, tic.

The Retreat of Rusencrantz Confirmed.
Richmond, Va., Oct. 10.—The report, yester
day, relative to the report of Gen. Rozencrantz, iu
Western Y’irgiuia, the reliability ot which report
was considered to be doubtful, is confirmed to
day in official quarters. Gen. Rosencrantz re
treated with the army which he had opposing
Gen. Lee at Sewell Mountain, in that section ol
the State, and has gone in tho direction of the
Gauley river.
On account of the miserable condition of the
roads, and the limited amount of transportation iu
the hands of the Confederates, Gen. Lee was able
to pursue the Federals only eight miles.

Lieut. Renry W. Trippe, son of John B. and
L- P- Trippe of Milledgeville, died Sept., 25,1861
at Stribliug Springs, Y'a., after a painful, lingering
illness, aged 24 years, 3 months 19 days. Re
was a physician by profession, having practiced at
Fort Y’alley Ga , until last March, when he wae
commissioned a Brevet 2d Lieut in the Jet,
Keg;met of Ga , Regulars, siuce when b© has been
stationed at the Augusta Arsenal, Tybee Island
and near Manassas Va.
He was promoted to a 2d Lieutenancy and hie
relatives suppose that daring his fatal illness, be
was promoted to a 1st., Lieutenancy. His laat
moments were cheered by the presence of bis lov
ing Mother and his Brother, but human affection
nor professional skill could withhold him from tbe
grasp ol death and he is gone, another martyr to
the cause of civil liberty." »
Died at Nickajac, Tenn., of croup, aged nearly
two years, Josephine, infant daughter of Dr.
Joseph and Bessie LeConte.
