The writer of the above has sent his own sous
to th3 field, and we doubt not has contributed
liberally of his substance. . He has a "right there
fore to make the suggestion, and it falls in with
our own views, for we have for two cr three weeks
past feared that the people were ceasing to bring
their gifts to the altar of their country. This can
not arise from exhaustion, but rather, we suppose,
from an idea that enough has been done to make
our soldiers comfortable. We fear thafc: this" is' a
fatal mistake. We admit that much has been
done, and that something is still being done, but
still there must be dreadful suffering in a greut
army, in the field during a winter in a colder ;
climate than our volunteers have been accustomed
to, and with far less thn their accustomed pro
tection against cold and rain and snow. . It is the
duty of all of every maiv and woman and child
.who remains at -home to do all in their power,
even at much personal and wlf-denial and incon
venience, to guard their defenders from the perils
of the fierce elements to which they are exposed.
Let there be no end, theiefore, to the gifts and
the labors of the people for the benefit of the
brave . and. self-sacrificing soldiers, but as soon
as one duty of the fort has been performed,
another should be begun.
Nothing can be more
plaiu than that, if we permit ourselves to be, con
quered, we lose all. - The fierce and malignant
and devilish spirit of our yankee brethren openly
avows a determination to confiscate all we have,
and we are assured by high authority at the North,
that the thousands who have come to the South
mean to remain at the South that they have no
idea of returning to the cold and inhospitable
regions from w hich they came, but intend to locate
on the farms of the rebels," and to appropriate
the slaves, under .the delusive appellation of "ap
prentices," to their own ue. We all know what
hard mas-ters these poverty-stricken Yankees be
come when they come to own slaves.' Is is alike
a duty to ourselves and to our slaves, to preserve
them irom the tender mercies of the barbarians.
Let them indeed remain at the South, if they will,
but let their farms be confined to the narrow space
six feet by two of ground.
In the spirit of our correspondent, we call upon
our readers to work on in the cause, and to give
their money freely. IJetter to give much of it
than to be robbed of the whole by our enemies.

Sin At 8 o'clock, A.'M.V on'the 17 th ins:, I
moved towards Woodson ville. for the purnose, of
breaking up the railroad froui the vicinity , of, tlmt
place southward wy furce, consisted, of "1,100 .in
infantry. and four pieces i of ..artillery,. - ,
r When -within two and iahalt.mifex?r''ood
sonvillej concealed fronj: tlie . enemy's , view, I
halted the c.olurnu and ordered forward : Col.
Terry's liangers to occupy the heights at my right,
left, and front; and .Major Phifer's cavalry to
.vatch the" crossings of Green riref,' still further
to my left. f These orders 'bavin? been"' Executed, '
and no force of the enemy or pickets seen; "I7 ad
vanced the column till the Tight reached' the rail-;
road: This broiiprht me-within 1 three 'quarters of
a mile of the Vivcr and'-the'eneiny," bit still con
cealed, excepfa small body of cavalry upon" the
extreme left. Here It "company of Kangera was
detttched -to observe "the enemy from Hewlett's '
Knob,"which was to my right across the railroad
A strip of timber bordered the river parallel to the
line held, by my cavalry.' Fields were between"; a
body . of the .'enemy's infantry, .as skirmishers
moved through the timber by their ,1-igut ou my
left. They were fired upon fey a Small body of my
cavalry and retired. -'The firing ceased for about
half an hour, and T went in person to select a
suitable place for camp, leaving Cot. Terry, in
command, with instructions - to decoy the enemy
up the hill,' where I eould use my. infantry and
artillery with effect 'and be out of the range of the
enemy's batteries. . ,' ,,. . " v
Before returning to the column the fire from the
skirmishers re-commeneed. ':Tlie enemy appeared
in force upon my right and ' centre, v Coli Terry,
at the head of 75 Kangers charged about ',300,
routed and - drove them back,' but fell mottally
wounded.' A body of the enemy; about 'the same
size,-attacked the Kangers, ; under Cnpr. Farrel,
upon the right of the turnpike, and were repulsed
with a heavy loss. The enemy now began cross
ing by regiments, and moving about, onr. my right
and left flanks. Three companies of Colonel
Marmaduke's ( First Arkansas) battalion""8 were
thrown out as skirmishers on tiiy left; engaged the
enemy's right and drove them to the river." 1
now ordered forward Captain -Swift's battery and
the Second Arkansas regiment to support it, hold
ing the Sixth Arkansas regiment in reserve.- The
artillery opened fire upon the enemy in the field
adjacent to the railro;d, and drove them to the
bank of the river. Firing now ceased on both
sides. The enemy made no further attempt--to
advance, but knowing that he had already' crossed
the Tiver in force more than double ' to my own,
and had the means of crossing additiopal forces, I
withdrew my commaud, 'by way of the turnpike,
two miles and a half, and took position to -meet
the enemy, if disposed to advance. There being
no indications of such an intention," I returned to
my camp here, reaching this place at 8 o'clock,
P. M. My loss in this affair was as follows ' '
Killed Col. Terry and three men df his rei-;
ment. Dangerously wounded Capt. Walker and
three men (Texas Rangers,) and two men of First
Arkansas battalion. .
; I estimate the enemy's less at ,75 killed and left
on the ground; wounded unknown. I have eight
prisonersmothers were takea.rtoo badly wounded
to be removed, and were left at citizen's houses.
The. troops under my command who were en
gaged, displayed courage in escess. The others
were as steady- as veterans. , - . - , ,V '

The" first letter la the series is from Mr Sward

The second letter in ibe series is from Earl Rus

cuthstancea of the capture on; board the-T rent as
giren lit tho letter of Commander, Williams, Ageot
ior31arfs tin board tho Mail contract steamer Trent.
These, circumstances are - already familiar to" our
readers. After, this statement, :Eatl Russell's let
ter says that 'it, thus appears that Certaiti individ
uals have thus been forcibly taken i'roui- on board
a British; vessel, the ship of a neutruf power,' while
such vessel was pursuing a! lawful aud innocent
voyagean- act of violence which was- an affront to
the British flag.aud aiiviolation of international
law-'V-'Earl RusseU expre'sses'the trust. that swhen
these facts aio brought nndcr the coisideratiou of
the United. States "government,' that government
will of its own accord offer such redress as alone
could. satisfy a British nation, namely, .the libera
tion of the four gentlemen, and their delivery to
Lord Lyons,, in order that they may again be plac
ed under' British; protection, and a suitable apo
logy for the outrage which has been committed,
lb is letter of Earl Russell's doer not occupy ever
half a column.: -AJr heward'w reply takes up four
solid long colnmus of the Enquirer We find great
difficulty iu even attempting a synopsis of itv since
it is literally impossible to fix upon any point which
can truly be saidto express its meaning with--any
definiteness. We have no idea that Mr; Seward
wished to express 'any definite meaning. His
letter is dated December 2ith,-1861. It must be
Tead to be appreciated. We do not say to be
understood, for that is evidently not its hi tent ion,
but we think it will hardly be satisfactory to the
British government. -5
' As ear as we can see, Seward asks at the out
start five questions which he answers in the. af
firmative, viz: Were the parties arretted contrac
band? Might Captain Wilkes lawfully stop and
search the'Trent for those coutrab'tind' person and J
dispatches? JMTght he eseic se that right lii n
lawful aud proper manner? : Hating found the
susj ected persons on board and in prciiuiued p .s
K'ssion of . the ,- contraband idispatclies, - had he a
vight.to ;capture the . persons? i Did he exercisa
the "right of capture in the manner .allowed and
recegnized by the .law of; nations? ' These quca
tions and' their' answers are brought forward to
sustain the ground assumed in the following para
graph, when after attempting to controvert some
part af the statement of':f'acts made by commander
Williams, he, Seward says:- - -.-Ji t,. ,l,t ,
Your Lordship will now perceive that the case
before us, instead of presenting a merely "flagraot
act of violence on'the part of Captaiu Wilkes, as
might well be-iuferred from tlie incenfplete state
ment of, it that went up to ' British iovernaient,
was undertaken as a simple, legal aud belligerent
proceeding of Captaiu V. likes to arrest " and cap
ture a neutral w vessel engaged.' in-.' Icarrying con
traband of war, for the ws and benefit of the iu-!
surgents' -.i;i-.v . . v- i i .7 -r' 1 ' j
.ilr Sewafd, after assuming all - this, goes into a
long discussion upon the technical process of reach
ing cantrabunds like. Mason - and Slidell,: by tho'
seizure and condensation of ' the vessel - carrying
tlrem," thus obtaining a moral verdict against tbeui,
or in what other way, and finds all unsatisfactory.
He thinks that Captain Wilkes might have seized
the Trent aud carried ber into a. convenient 'port,
but did not for reasons satisfactory to 1 his govern
ment and vrhioh -justify dits : courie in their eyes,
nevertheless although this satisfaction with Capt.
Wilkea'course is avowedr all tho results of that

One lady asked permission to send for her fath

The request, however, was denied 'ber." Another
lady asked to call a female friend next door, but was
refused." They then read aloud to her the letters
her husband had written to her before 'hermar
riage, which they came across while searching her
writing desk; anu.laiighcd over them before her,"
They would not tell where the gentlotnen whom
they arrested were to be taken; and thcirTaniilics
only learned from public sources that they wen(t
next day to Fortre-s Monroe. Their imprisou
