TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS.
We began, with number ONE, the Thirty
Third Volume of the Ff.DEKAL Union. The
present is a good time to talk freely and fully
with those who are supposed to be the friends of
this paper. ’I he past year has been the most trying
which this newspaper has experienced in its whole
existence. We have had to pay 6’us/« down for
all our materials, and for all the labor which is
used in the Printing Office. Paper is twice as
high as it was a year ago. Labor is higher, owing
to the high prices of provisions. Many papers
have been reduced in size one-half, and are print
ed on very inferior- paper. We have kept our us
ual amount of matter ;n the paper, and the mate
rial used has been quite equal to any used by us
in times of peace and plenty. Wo have not raised
the price. We have strived hard to keep our
heads above the water, hoping that Peace would
soon smile upon our land and prosperity bless our
whole country, But the sky is dark above. We
are hard up for money ; aud we b»j iu mm.
who owes us a dollar, pay us for the sake of the
struggles and sacrifices we have made, and foe
the sake of those we owe. if not for Conscience’
Sake. We cannot visit you at your homes. We
have no money to spend on railroads, or at hotels.
You can save us all thi3 trouble and expense, if
you will. Many of oflr subscribers do not know
bow much they owe us; but all can tell whether
they owe us anything or not. If you will send us
lico, four, fire or tea dollars, endeavoring to ap
proximate your indebtedness as near as possible,
we will return you a receipt showing for what
time your paper is paid. We are “terribly in
earnest,” friends; and if you ever intend to pay
us, now is the time we can do most good with our
money. Say not, two dollars is a small sum of
money, and will do us no good. If a thousand
subscribers send us two dollars, the aggregate
makes a handsome sum. W T ho will be the first
to respond to our earnest appeal. Wo do not in
tend, if it be possible to prevent, to take one inch
from the size of our paper.^ All we ask to enable
us to move along peacefully, and keep our ac
counts with the world straight, is, for those who
ov^e us to pay us at once. Reader, .are you in
debted to us 1 If you are, we most respectfully,
butcandi ly, say to you, we need our money to
keep our paper among the living things on this
terrestrial ball.
A receipt will be enclosed in your paper for the
money you send. Enclose it in a sealed envel

with whom I conversed, informed me that til-
corn off the read route was generally more for

it. Very large crops of potatoes, ground peas,

Between Cuthbert and the Chattahoochee the
Rail Road passes over a broken country. I do
not exaggerate when I say that for miles tk*-re are
a succession of deep cuts and high embankments,
connected as links in a chain, every embankment
having a culvert through it. The road must have
been built at a heavy expense, and is maintained
at great cost for repairs. Tits cars stop just this
side of the Chattahoochee. The bridge is being
built over the river, aud the work is progressing
as fast as the times and circumstances will permit.
Passengers are conveyed toEufauia, a distance of
a mile by au omnibus at the moderate fare of 5U
cents. Eufaula is built upon r high bluff, from
which a fine view of the plantations in the valley
on the Georgia side may be had. The city is built
upon a plain for. two thirds of a mile when the
hills rise, aud upon these hills are man/ handsome
residences, and neat and tasteful cottages. There
are in Eufaula t^urce large brick fire proof Ware
Houses, many line aud commodious store rooms,
three churches and one being erected. From a
hasiy survey of the place I should judge that *i.e
war had interfered «•••'.> with its business pros

Richmond, Ya , June 5th, 1862.
Dear Mother: You know, before this tune, I
presume, onr regiment had reached Richmond
I seuta paper home on the day of our arrival here
with a notice (marked) of the arrival of Gen. Ha
ger’s Division, by which you might learn of my
whereabouts. 1 have not had a chance, until to
day, to write home. We have been continually
moving, night and day. On Thursday last onr
regiment received orders to report immediately iu
Richmond, as the great fight was to begin early
n-xt morning. We were camped three miles this
side of Petersburg. Soon as orders to move were
received, we struck tents and began our march for
Richmond. We reached within a mile of Rich
mood by dark, having marched 19 miles that day.
I shied the march very well. We bivouacej that
night iu the woods, and at 3 o'clock began our
march. We were halted, however, that day, 2
miles below Richmond, an J next morning ordered
to the line of our army, rive miles below the city.
This was on the day (Saturday) of the fight. We
reached there just after the fight began, and was
held as a reserve, bio this was my first sight of
the reality of war. The fight began in tlie after
noon, by a portion of our army attacking the ene
my’s advance. You have, of course, seen full ac
counts of this desperate fight. It was one of the
most furious and desperate, for the time engaged,
since the war. The enemy was in an open field,
when first attacked by our forces; behind them,
several hundred yards, a dense swamp, where the
enemy had cut down, and thrown with their t >ps
together, large trees, t-f prevent our charging over
them, and this in water, knee and waist deep.
Our men soon drove them to the woods and behind
this breast-work ; but not on5 moment did it stop
the furious charge of our brave fellows. The en
emy, however, from behind this barricade poured
a terrible and murderous fire into our ranks; onr
d--*ad and wounded fallingat every step. But over
the tops of these fallen trees, and through water
p, our boys rushed at them, driving them

wheat field, at the' far* end of which the enemy-
had a battery mounted of ten gnus; and here was
made one of the grandest charges I ever heard of-
A Mississippi, North Carolina aud Texas regiment
charged it. 'Through this field every step was up
to our men’s knees in mud, and before they took
the battery near ail our men bad fallen under the
terrific fire. Our dead covered the whole field —
Beyond the battery dead Yankees were piled upon
one another and the woundtyl upon the deal.—
One of the companies in the charge had been for
merly an artillery company; and as soon as they
reached the battery instantly turned the guns up
on the retreating Yankees, killing them by the
hundreds. The North Carolina Keginent went
into the fight with 700 men, and came out with
only 200; the other regiments suffering in about
the like proportion. 1 was upon tiie battle field
soon after and there witnessed, for the first time,
the terrible sight. The field was covered with
dead and wounded: men shot and laying in every
imaginable position; some with half their heads
off, legs off: some near cut in two. The sight at
tirst was sickening to me. Onr men, Yankees,
aud horses, all lying together in heaps. One man,
j I saw dead with a canteen of water grasped in
his hands and clinched between bis teeth. The
sight to me was made more awful by hardly he-
| ing able to distinguish them as human beings,
| covered entirely from bead to foot with mud and
water. Our regiment with the whole L>
uged a few shots with the Yankee picket but
no one on either side was killed,—'twas rather too
far off for our guns to do much execution—four
hundred yards about.
Well mother, we are now experiencing the sad
reality of war. We have bid farewell to tents, and
even for a while to blankets. . Since we arrived
here we have not slept even on a blanket. Mov
ing, it is impossible to carry anything, and we
generally roost wherever night overtakes us.
This was the first 4 days we were here We are
now behind our own intrenchments. Some few
of the boys have got their blankets. Until last
night for four days and nights I have not had oft’
my pants or boots once. - The ground behind our
breastwork is aukle deep in water, and the only
way the men get to sleep is to rut two large logs,
lay them parallel to each other, and then lay ac :
cross some rails, get a few bush tops and lay on
them. This is the only way you can do as the
water is three or four inches all the time. It
seems to rain incessantly. Last night it begau
about dark and rained violently all night. I lay
all night without anything at all over nje. While
at Camp Jackson we‘were comfortably quartered
in houses, had everything to eat iu abundance,
yet frequently men would grumble because they
bad not this or that thing. Now that they are un
dergoing the severest kind of hardships not a
man have I heard grumble or a murmuBrfif com
plaint escape his lips, but whatever is required
they do it cheerfully. ^
I see a great many of my old acquaint *.ces
now We are all together. Lewis Kenan and
Buck Grieve are just below our regiment t also
Beck's company. Lewis K. is quite sick at this
time. I have just been up to*see him. The boys
are all cheerful aud in good spirits, and if they
grt in a tight here, no doubt, will give a good ac
count of themselves. I shall remain in town un
til to-morrow morning But if my shoulder should
get to be more paiuiul will doctor it. I do not
think tho’ it will last long and may pass oil' after
a'good night’s rest. Give much love to all at home

Rattle on James Island below Charleston.
Our readers will find a short account in our
present issue of the Battle on James Island, in
which thi brave Col. Williams and his gallant
Regiment, the 47th Georgia, covered themselves
with glory, hut suffered a severe loss. Until
further explanation,Yt will appear strange and un
reasonable, why this galiafit Regiment should
have been left for more than four hours to cotf-
tend against such fearful odds, without being
either supported or withdrawn. From the ac
counts received, there appears to have been a
large force of our troops on the Island, who stood

Near Port Republic. June 8th via Staunton,
June 10/A.—Thrbugh God s blessing, the enemy

(Signed) . T. J. JACKSON,
Major General Commanding.
There has been no skirmishing along the lines
near Richmond to-day. A cold rain fell this mor-
| uing.
i into the swamp about one and a half miles:
thrown all that night in line of battle; our line ex
tending one mile (our immediate brigade.) This
swamp into which we were carried was thick with
undergrowth and up to our knees every step Here
we remained all night; sleep was of course impos
sible aud we could only stand and sit at intervals,
'fills night (Saturday) was the night of my life, aud
one which, were 1 to live a bundled years, I
could never forget. We had all that evening pass
ed through tiie battle field, to all of us our first
sight of such a thing, and our feelings of «ourse
were different from those who were accustomed to
see such sights. Then all night standing in that
dense swamp, up to our knees in mud and water,
and all around us, no doubt, lay many who were
killed, as our men were driving the enemy back
Then, too, expecting by early dawn to be led into
battle, made it a'ttever to he forgotten q)gtit to me
So I have experienced those feelings ♦liich no
doubt are felt by every man the night before the
battle! About 11 o’clock that night not a whisper
could be heard; the silence to me was awful. Th
regiment just to our right was the 12th Virginia
who had that day participated slightly in tbe fight
and lost some of their men. The Chaplain of this
Regiment was along, he gave out a hymn which
was sung by many in the Regiment, and after
wards offered tip one of the mosj feeling prayers
I ever heard. Not a man who could hear his voice,
but to him it must have been the most solemn and
impressive thing ever heard before.
At 3 o’clock the "order to fall in was given We
were marched out and hack to the large field-where
the light the evening before began. This day the
regiments generally were deployed as skirmishers
through the woods. Our immediate regiment be
ing far up to the right portion of oiir division was
not in this day’s fight. Our men had severe fight-
iug this day. A great many Georgia Regiments
were in the fight, and suffered severely, particular
ly the 6th and 14th. The 3rd Alabama, Col Lo
max, was a few yards from the railroad, drawn up
in line of battle at parade rest. Suddenly a tre
mendous tire, only 30 or 40 yards from them, was
p mred into their ranks. Col. Lomax was reclin
ing on the ground, jumped up and gave the word
to chaige ; just at this moment he fell mortally
wounded. This regiment was so overpowered by
numbers they were compelled to fall hack a little
into the woods. As they left, six men were trying
to carry oti' the body of Col. Lomax; the Yankees
fired into them killing one man : they were forced
to drop his body, and the Yankees took possession
of it Soon after a flag of trrtce was sent to get
his body, but the Yankees would not receive it;
so Col. L’s body was not recovered and no one
knows what has become of it. Gen. Unger’s di
vision was drawn up in line of battle in an open
field About 1 oelock we saw a Yankee balloon up
about two miles off. In less than 14 minutes they
were shelling us at a furious rate Their battery
was about half a mile back in tho woods; they got
the range very soon and the shells were bursting
every moment or two over our heads; hut not a
man received a scratch. The 3rd Georgia, Col.
Wright, was ordered through the woods, to charge
the battery, aud our regiment sent on to his right.
But after getting some distance, on the Yankees
fell back, and we were ordered back. Our
regiment was not in the fight that day; we are the
extreme right of the division and all the fighting
this day was to the left of the division. In this
fight we drove the Yankees about 3 or 4 miles back.
I do not know the exact loss on our side. Two
thousand of our men were wounded, rioon after
the battle had ceased on Saturday evening, the
wonnded were being brought oil’ by hundreds.
I saw poor fellows shot in all places; some through
their arms and legs, in tho body aud head. Hun
dreds were walking along covered with blood,
and not the tirst one did 1 see but was in cheer
ful spirits. One fellow I saw come along with his
arm dangling at his side shot nearly oil'just below
the shoulder; some moil stopped to look at him,
wiien he remarked “ Go on hoys don’t stop to
sympathize with me the Yankees are just below.”
Ho was talking as if it ivas merely a scratch and
of no consequence, .Hardly a company in this
fight but lost most al! their*officers. The Yankee
sharp-shooters do nothing but pick oft’ officers.
The North Carolina legiment which .charged that
battery had every officer in it. hut one Lieutenant,
killed or wounded. I was again on the battle
field 30 hours after the fight, and bift few of the
dead had been buried. It was a more sickening
sight tlmn tiie day before. Tiie stench from the
field was awful. Iu this field and all along where
the Yankees had fled the ground was covered
with guns, knapsacks, letters and all kind of
things. I picked up several letters for curiosity;
some are rare specimens. (I enclose one as a cu
riosity ) I also picked up a Yankee gal’s like
ness lying near an open knapsack, marked 3lith
Mass. I suppose this picture fell out of this knap
sack. I have it now and will send it on by first
chance. It is quite a handsome lady and I sup
pose her husband was in the fight. Our men got
from the Yankees large quantities of provisions,
II barrels or whiskey, barrels of lemons and two
barrels of ground old Java Coffee. 1 drank some
of this Coffee myseif. The lemons were ail op

mond is completely filled with wounded men.
The ladies are real angels of mercy; they atteud
and nurse them constantly night and day.
I saw many of the wounded Yankees on the
field. I went into one shed where there were
fourteen and four were dead aud two just about
dying all huddled up together. One poor Yankee
seeing me with a canteen in my hands asked me
plt-aso to give him a drink of water to cool his
mouth, he was shot in the side and apparently suf

charged the enemy several times' with great im
petuosity, and withdrew only when approach
ing darkness and the continued reinforcements
of the enemy compelled them to retire. The
gunboats during the light also kept up a contin
ual shelling of the woods beyond the forces en
gaged, designed to prevent the arrival of rein
forcements.
The tight lasted about four hours. The casual
ties were thirty or forty of our men wounded by
the fire from the enemy’s infantry. Capt. Wil

regret to learn was mortally wounded while gal
lantly leading a charge on the enemy’s breast

the enemy were killed and wounded in the en
gagement.
The place where the fight took place is about
three miles from the lines of our entrench

Heavy firing was kept up to a late hour last

in shelling the woods while landing reinforce
