' Mers&s.'EbitoM : While sitting on my knapsack
' tbis evening fttcarap, awaiting transportation to Kich
. jnondTroiii 'which place we are going to Gonlona
ville, a friend handed me a State Journal,' and I was
much gratified at perusing extracts from a letter of
Colonel Johnston, of tbeNErstMarjland Regiment;,
to a Iadyja North CaroJinaTfue U certainly gener
ous and manly in giving our troops their just due,: but
noticing a slight mistake which shears us of our just
due at a regiment, I write to ask you to correct it.
; It ia with regard to the charge of General George B.
Anderson'a brigade at the battle of Malvern Hill.
Hisb'rieide is-comnosetl of th? Second. Fourth. Four
teenth and tThirtieth, instead of the Third," &c, as
Colonel Johnston states, and the Second participated
in that bloody charge. plaae correct it in an edito
rial paragraph. The Third, and indeed all of ItipIeyV
brigade, participated in the battle, going ino the fight J
A ... " i i a t .... J i
iicr we were repuisea, over nearly me same gnmuu.
Cdouel Meare. f tha Third, was killed just iu front
of the Litt'eton house. Had there been a simultane
ous movement made a,? the beginning of the fight, im-
steaa or,8bovinus m by brigades, the fight, as tJloi
ml Jahnston truly says, would have been ended three
hours earlier.
Please correct the, mistake. Excuse this letter I
write it on a pine board in my lap. You will hear
from us again shortly. The Rapidan, I think, will
run. crimson jwith Titood in a few days. The larger
, portion of the RieHmoud army is goin thither. Don't
mention my name in this matter.

We give place to the above without alteration or
erasure. The gallant Johnston "was not certain he
was right in the regiments he named, and we are ve "
ry sure he mean f no 'injustice to thjj "Second." : He
wrote from memory and .hence the mistake. And it
is very certain the "immorUl'V Thir4 needs-no more
laurels than it has dearly, won.

day of that great fight, while humanely ministering
to the necessities of the wounded Yankees as well as
Confederates. . He was carried before Gen. Buell,

all the wounded Confederates to fittsburs landing.
Mr. V. stopped awhile at St. Louis ; then at Camp
Douglas, near Chicago ; next at Gimp Chase, Co
lumbus, Ohio, and was next sent to Sandusky Island,
where the days of his captivity ended. He says he
met warm mends everywhere, but especially at St.
Louis and at Columbus. At the latter place, Mrs.

the sick and wounded, and caused to be prepared daily
such delicacies and 'luxuries as she knew would be

They dwell with great feeling and emphasis at onr
lack of respect for the Constitution, losing sight of
the fact that the rascaily gang who nominated Lincoln
at Chicago, ,weri the first to violate obligations im
posed by the Constitution, and that every act of their
long-legged, apeish looking chief, since he went into
power, has been nothing but a violation of that Con
stitution, about which they now prate so loudly,
v Mr. Witherspoon is looking well, after his long con
finement, and says his treatment, winch has not been
as kind as it might have been, lias nevertheless been
much better than that represented by prisoners from
Fort Delaware. He was not furnished transportation
until he reached Fortress Monroe, where Gen. Dix
, had him forwaided to City Point, free of charge. The
examining officer Rt the Fortress, seized a carpet bag
filled with a bib!e and late northern and western pa
' pers, declaring the bag and contents contraband. ,

Extending' the Conscription. The recommen
dation of the Secretary of War and the measures pro
posed in Congress to extend the term of the Conscrip
tion from thirty-five to forty-five years, will give the
Confederacy an army large enough to meet the emer
gencies of the country without sacrificing other inter
ests, which are as important as a large and unwieldy
mass of men. The six hundred thousand called for
by Lincoln will be only a Persian army, which will
be overbalanced by its own weight. We rejoice to
see the blended energy aud discretion which govern
our own councils. Dispatch.

that the corn crops through the middle of North

some parts of Georgia for twenty-five cents per bush

men of -the great Yankee army, and claims to be a.
member of Sickle's Brigade. He says he has enough
of the war, and will never again take up arms against
theSouth. When ordered to surrender, he endeavored
to run, but a shot from our boysquickly brought him
to a halt. He was sent to jail for safe keeping.
