Army Correspondence of the Journal SOIHB THOUGHTS ON TIII2 SIDJECT OP OUR RKVEKSE8 1 THE VALLEY DURING THE PRESKKT CAMPAIGN. KBW MABK8T, VlF.GIKIA, 1 Nov. 2Sth, lb6i. J The appearance of an article from the pen of f . W. A., the correspondent of tke Savannah Republican, is so un justly censorious, and shows bo li;tl-i knowledge of the whole troth, that we deem it a matter of justice to the ar my to diBcass the questiors relative to the degeoeracy of this corps, end endeavor to prove his error. The correspondent referred to, alleges that it is drunk enness which has defeated ns, and threatens to make an ex position of the malefactors by name if the thing is not cor rected. He puts bnt little stress upon the fact of the rein forcements to Sheridan. We do not make an accurate q no tation of the writer's words, bet we tope we give the spir it of his remarks. To those who have been with the army during the ardu. ons dm its of this campaign item Richmond to Washington, who have had ojportunitiea to judge more correctly as to what things have conduced to injure the tffl;iency of the troops,.litt!e need be said to convince them as to the true causes. We do not rppose to ofler anything original, bu found these remarks mainly upon the views of officers in whose military judgement reibnee can be placed, and with whom we most heartily a-c 3. liie experience of this war Las nhown tbat xaid aid eontionocs marches, are Lipblj productive of loose discip line, for various and obvious reatona. Mil be retrembend trut whpn onr arrry Jsft the trc-Li bea at Kicbm nd thai onr rak were v-ry much de pleted by battle siace tke jbTigi.n cf Marylt d n 1862 sod tbat this depletion had teuued greatly to the disorgan isation of the difleient regiment composing the army. In this condition we were pushed on to Lynchburg, thence to Salem, tntnee to Harper's Ferry, to Washington City, and back to Letabarg. daring which time we accompli-hed marshes unknown in the tistory of the war. A rest of ote day was made at balem, one at Staunton, and then only to fleet anon arrangements as were indispensable ter the Army, and to give the men the much reeded repore. At liarper's Ferry we were in line of battle two days, and then inarched rapidly to Waihingtcn, where we were in line ot battle two days more, only resting after reaching Leesbnrg. This march was accomplished from June 13th to July 14th, a period of less than one mo&tn. For eight een successive days we made tweity-three miles a day, and the remaining time the average was twenty and a half miles. TbHs it will be Been that no time was allowed fjr the enforcement of disciplinary measures, to ceceteary to the well-being of an amy. How, and in what manner continual modon aBecis troops, preventing the enforce nieiit of needed dmcipline, will suggest iueif to the mind of any one acquainted with the deuil- of an army. The fragmentary and temporarily consolidated regiments, formed by throwing men into new commands, undr strange doers who did not take the same it, threat iu thete men as la their own, was another fruitful source cf evil. Those well acquainted with the internal arrangement of an army, wtU remember that the majority of our troops are volun teers, and, as such, selected men from among their number to be tfficers, and the idea was very current among them that these officers only were they compelled to obey and reipect. With such a state ot feeling existing it is easy to perceive bow much disorder wculd lolluw the depletion ot companies of both officers and men. We are well aware, however, that this remaik des not apply entirely to this army, although it will be remembered that Eweli'a corps was engaged more than any other during the " oicciiv Jfay," and with the most fatal efliet. Another very fruitful source of evil, and one which hts been graauaUy increasiag ia the armies ot the Confederate Btatcs for at least two years past, is th democratic ten dency of bo many orders, curtailing the au.honty ot regi mental commanders, and almost divesting a cc rapdny com mander of what little power he had : and how coai it be expected that each orders would have any othar tendency than to put men and officers almost on a tooi'og, a thi as much to be deplored aa a great calamity 4 for oat of it grows such a vast amount ol eviL Wt,a,5ethattoe enunciation of euch sentiments will meet wi'huiaignant rebnke from many, but the his ff of oucief armies in all ages, haa taught, aa weUMtkat of more than three bloody years, that itriot TO-21. r CONFEDERATE disciplfre is necefBary to efficiency, and in order to effect ui.ujpiiuo, im-ers snouia De cottlcialiy) above the n en In HOW Often iS it the CiaA that nn am larcra a.

This error of equality of officers and rren has jiowhere been more rife than in this army during this campaign. u weMui Davi Deen ujea to sustain me dignity and au thority of enbordicate efficers; and in fact such repeated efforts have been made to concentrate all authority with general officer., that the fact that in order to make the an tbjonty of general officers available, an effort shou d be al ways made to tustain their bubordmates, seemed to have been entirely neelected. We assert, without fear of contrediction. tlatonr most senouB disasters are attribntable moietothe facts above mentioned than all others together. But there, are still other matters which have their weight. We most heartily favored a v gorcus retaliatory policy du ring our last Invasion ot Maryland, and would tuve been glad to have seen the cities, mills, barns and other proper 'y destroyed to an eqnal extent with ihat in our own deso lated districts. But.every one wloill rt fleet about tbe matter will readily perceive that individual enterprises of irresponsiDie parties, takirg into the r own bands the mat ter of retaliation, some for revenge, and some for plunder, had a most pernicious kfiaenca upon our army, showing itself mure particularly with the cavalry roop No one need try to disguise the fact, thit although the private property uud the city cf Washington was not ordered to be burned, that this lawless incendiarism was winked at by officers who cou'd have done a great doM to wards stopping it. It ia true that this property wa j tsrly destroyed, but it should h.ve been done ry official sanc tion. This universal license practiced in the enemy's country, in tbe lace of an oider from Army head quartets, was al most the finishing stroke to the last vestige of discipline in the army. It is with Buch a destructive policy this army has been govemed du icg tbe past six months. To tbe foregoing fruitful sonrct-B then are to be referred our disasters, acd not to the great amount of apple bran dy consumed by tbe veterana of this army. Tbe amount of drunkenness in onr command now, is tar greater since our disasters than at anytime preceding, tut with tbe atten tions exertions of our officers, who are thoroughly aroused to a full sense of their duty, it is hoped and believed tbat tbe vice will be corrected. Ai d even now we are confident that there is no more bra-dy drinkicg here than in other armies of onr country. The charge of drunkenness pon ofXcers high In com mand by " P. W. A." is unjust, and if not intr uded for malice, shows a criminal ignorance of facta. We are not disputed to extesuate the faults of officers high in authori ty, but if P. W A." means that there wes drunkenness upon the battle field among nr Generals, and that to this fact our officers were incapacitated for command, he is in error. We will venture to say that any one who eaw the energies put forth by our Generals at Winchester, at Fish er's Hill, and Cedar Creek, would resolutely deny the elan den us assertion charged upon th;m by the correspondent mentioned. It '? too common among sews correspondents to assume the position of military ciitics, often creating errors and charging them upon Generals for the pleasure it gives them in moraliz ng upon the sabjeot ; it is noticeable however, that ttene errors are only discovered when disaster over takes enr arms. Nothing would have a more slutary influence npou the efficiency of our armies, and more paiticu arly to the A. V' D., than a reorganization of its sha tered battalions. A new vigor and impetus would be given to our command, which would Insure us victory in the future. Deo. 1st. 1864 Tbe very acceptable tews reaches ua this morning that Gen. Rosser'a late raid h&d proved a success, and the Iruita ct it were the capture of eight hundred prisoners, the same numter of cattlo, cne thousand torses, eight pices cf ar tillery, two hundred wagons, aad a large amount of com missary stores. Tae wagons were burned. This news was brcught by a dispatch from Gen. Kosaer, and as far as we are able to ascertain, is accurate. We will acquaint you with particulars soon. UUD. For the Journal. An Appeal. If the groat Creator of Beaven and earth take any note whatever of the affairs of his creatures; if his protecting care was ever voucbsafed to any people, at any time, then it has been most conspicuously extended to the peo ple of the Confederacy. In consideration of our origin there is no need to wonder at oar singular prowess and ex traordinary attainment in all that ia powerful in arms or courteous in chivalry. While our sold era and officers are fighting for liberty, the only thing worth living for, let no bitter enmities spring up. Diicord, the sister of death, ehioiil fluu no congenial abiding place amongst us. Her ghastly vissge, and fire-sparkling eye and distentions heart should be unknown in the South ; for her demon spirit will bring destruction to a nation. Ambition and jealousy will bring destruction to any people. Let the dissatisfied par ties remember that the golden apple of heathen mythology levelled the walls of far-famed Ilium with the dut. We must be unitsd and all do their parts for the soldiers. Braver never, never lived. Never can it be said that the fcpartan martyrs of Therniopy'e, nor the sacred battalion ot Epaminondas, nor the old guard of Napoleon, nor J he tenth legion of Julius Csaar, evinced more fortitude than the Southern soldieis have onvery bloody field in a crisis when death seemed inevitable.. Thousands have died in defence of their country. The soldiers who are suffering privations and hardships for liberty, deserve tbe kindest consideration. The Ladies all are interested in the wel fare of the soldiers, or if all are no?, they sheuld be. The storm of war ragea in all its fury ; an invading army, car rying havoo and desolation over the land, only lor out sol diers who have confidence in our cause. Let our wealthy friends remember that were it not for the soldiers we would be tnltd by tyrants. Christmas will soon be here, while the country is rilled with all good things, that tbe soldiers have fcaeriflced everything to protect. Let not the minds of the people at home become bo absorbed in the pursuit of gain that effeminacy will take the place of that BensibiU y yhich should characterize every true Southerner. The love of money may cause cur downfall, and would surely do so were the vhole mass to go the Bame road the selfish travel, whose Gcd is money. We ere in peace and prosperity here to-day, while the cry of danger is heard from onr Bister cities. When may our watehman tell ns that the hour has come when the earth will tremble beneath the tiead of contending armies lor the fate ot this city ? We are in the midst of shoals and quicksands, upon which many noble eity ships of Btate have stranded ; their wrecks and iuin? melancholy monuments of time are strewn over the land. Perhaps these things are intended as special punishment for sins of neglecting the soldiers, and those sacrificing all for them. The pray ers of the good and just can move tie aim that holds the universe. No one is heard unless he fcas faith, hope and charity, the three souled jewels that have power to ea e. Taose who do all in their power will have no remorse should we fail. We know no unco word in our history as tall, lhe present, with all its realities is upon us, ar d we are en deavoring to meet the emergencies of the case with all the aidor and fervency that patriotism can impart, but ihe dark future ia before us and whe her it eb-Ail unfold tbe brightest pages of our nislory, or wnether within its dark bj.tin lisa concea ed the fatal day of the fall of il ia cry, no human wisdom can foretell. L9t char ity ebi-und nile we may do good. Who will respund to the ladies' call on tbe citizens and the country tor aid lor the soldiers' dinner. As tola may be tie last Cbr stmaa appeal we ever write, we pray that it may not be in vain. While the enemy ia carry kg desolation over tbe 1 tber btates, let no heed the lesson, having the eflect to rt-fresi our patriotism, rekindle our love of tbe Booth, ami airtrgthen onr reaolutio b to be free, which cannot lail to endue ns with the spirit of brotherly kindness and liberality to the brave and noble soldiera so matter where they were born, so they are with us in the cause . M. A. B. SHERMAN'S OHASD MARCH THROUGH GEOR GIA DIflEClIO.I OF THE EXPKfJiTION-UIS FOBCK, SUBSISTENCE, tfte. The Yankee papers tell us all about Sherman, except where he is going to, which they very wisely do not venture to foretell. A correspondent of the New York "Times" gives the following account of the prepara tions of Sherman and the departure of his army on the expedition : Tt e expedition commenced ita march upon the even ing ot the 12 lb. ics'ant, with a division of Kilpatrick's cavalry, under General ilcCooi, and the Twentieth corps, General rilocum, ia advance. This advance was to proceed slowly in tbe direction of Macon, and to be followed by the Fourteenth corps, GeneraUtfl. C. Da vis. The Army of the Tennessee, General Howard, composed of the Fifteenth corps, General Logan ; Six teenth, General Smith; and Seventeenth General Frank Blair; kit Kingston three daj3 before for Atlanta, tear ing up the railroad as it went along. On the 11th tbe Etowah bridge was destroyed, and from thence to the Chattahoochee river the work of destruction was com plete. Almost the entire railroad track was removed, and the rails twisted op aad o her wise iojired ; all tbe important storehouses and depots were burned, and tbe culverts and masonry blowa up. The immense struc ture which spans the Chattahoochee was burned and the foundation blown up. Everything was in readiness at Atlanta to make good the destruction of that town upon the arrival ol the Army of the Tennebsee, and, in all probability the Gate City, so long the lountaiL-faead ot the South lor the pro duction of munitions of war, was sent reeling to ruin on the 14th inat. Tbe torch was to be applied to All pub lic buildings, manufactories and storehouses, and every STATES OF AMERICA WILMINGTON &. C, THURSDAY MORNING, DEC. 15.1864. NO. 12. thing liable to be tran&ferred to rbel use which would not burn waB to be blown up, including the railroad buildings and other railway accompaniments in thd cen tre of the city. The Army of tbe i ennessee was tfien to resume its match, and will, no doubt, make a junc tion with the advance in t few days. While this work of destruction was being performed, a detachment of men operated in Ijke manner towards Chattanooga, and will, no doubt, burn tbe bridge over t':e Oostaoaula, at Resaca, and fall back and fortify near the junction of tbe Knoxville branch, south of Dalton. I do not know the entire programme to be carried out by Gen. Sher man, neither do I know positively bis destination. The latter may d?pend somewhat' on circumstances. The Cincinnati "Time?," on the question of sub sistence, says : Sherman has been chiefly occupying hia tim? inlay ing in a full supply of hard bread and beef cattle ; and he has with him, of tbe foimer, eixty days' full rations, and several thousand bead of the cattle. For all things else he will depend on the country over which be is to pass. His animals can subsist well; Corn and sweet potatoes are abuirlant. Daring the week et ding on the 5'h instaui, he gathered in one thousand stvt'n hun dred and eixty wagou loads 01 corn, four bundled and thirty-six loads of ewest po'atoes, and a few horees, without sending bis foragit g parties more than thirty miles from Atlanta. He couui manage tor live for six months without commuoiouiion ouce with the North In reference to his cavalry, he feds certain of hid abili ty to obtain horses enough to keep good hi9 original stork ; and perhaps he m iy be enabled to mount; s owe more men. The Nashville correspondent of the Daily News gives seme additional particulars, which, he eajs were " blabbed out " by certain officers of Sherman's etafl whilst drunk : HIS FOBCK. The army which left Atlanta consisted b( the follow ing troops. lath Corpa 9,000 Cavalry .., lu.uou 15th 10 000 17th " 9 iXO Total 47,000 Guns 130 20th " 9.000 The cavalry are well mounted, the best horsea form erly in this section having been sent them. the destination. A portion of the army left Atlanta on the mornicg of the 9th, snd followed the railroad to Macon' destroy ing it as it proceeds; tbe column will take Milledgeville in its way, and it is probable that the cavalry will at tempt to release the Union prisoners. 'I he second column started on Saturday morning last, and goes direct to. Augusta, the chief manufacturing point of the Confederacy, and one in which nearly all the powder used by the Southern army is made. Thid will be reached in about, twelve or fourteen dajs. At this point the whole army will concentrate, and then more on one of three points, aa Sherman shalr deem most proper. These are Savannah, Charleston or Beaufort ; but I know ibat if nothing occurs to change fcis present plans, ;e will go to Beauforf.. He believts that Savannah, with the railroads through Georgia cut, will be perfectly harmless, and there-will be no adv at age in holding it. The same may be said of Charleston. Let Sherman advance to Biancbville, twenty or tairty miles out, and that place is cat off effectually. To capture either Savannah or Charleston, fortified as they are, would take time, even though not strongly garrisoned, while the moment the army reaches a Beau fort, it meets supplies in abundance, and ships to trans fer it to any point it may be made most useful. This, I know to be his plan at present. However, it may become necessary to make Augusta a new base, and in that case Savannah must bo captured ; but Sherman now believes that be can sb easily make one on the aea coast, and in the meantime destsoy all the railroads in Georgia and South Carolina so effectually hi to render them worthless during the war. Unless, therefore, unexpected obstacles are met, ha will reach the ocean at Beaufort, in about thirty-fife or forty days. THI KNKXY. He will meet no enemy on the way. The Georgia militia are very harmless and few in number. There are at Savannah about 2,000 troops, beside city militia ; aud in no part of Georgia are there any men, except cavalry aud guerrillas, and these are not namercuaV ; f No force can be spared to meet him. Thomas ' can take care of Hood, and Lee can do nothing but defend himself against Grant and Sheridan. . We shall have no further communications from Sher man ; we shall soon hear from him through rebel sour ces. A few days since he telegraphed a " good bye " to his wife, and told her not to write again until he reached the ocean. A BIG SCARE. We find the following in the Bristol (Tenn.) Regis ter : We were told by a gentleman who resides in tbe vi cinity of the scene of the late thrashing given the Yan kees by Gen. Breckinridge, that the newepaper accounts do not half represent the extent of th3 stampede. The road was literally strewn with knapsacks, biankels, can teens, guns, and the score of articles of commerce and comfort with which our atrocious foes are so bountiful ly supplied. A well known minister who came over tbe road remarked tbat be could almost ride on blankets from tbe Plains to Knoxville. He also stated that when the column was struck by Yaughnand Duke, they were seized with a very moving panic, and broke like quarter horses. Saxtve qui peut, was the French for the very Yankee sentiment ol " every man for himself, aad the devil take the hindmost." Col. John Brownlow tried to rally thefrabble, and very valiantly cried out " Halt and form ; we can easily whip 'em if you'll only stop 1" " Who gave that order ?" screamed one of the run ners, who was then on good time. " Col. Brownlow gave it," was the response which came above the roar of the retreat. " Tell Col. Brownlow that every mother's son must take care of number one now ; for Breckinridge and all hell is after us.'" was the reply ; and away lumbered the whole concern General, Colonel, corporal and pri vate, aa if Old Harry was after them sure enough. That his satanic majesty will get them sooner or later, is just as sure as that our gallant Breckinridge, and bis Lieutenants, Vaughn ana Duke, gave them as good a thrashing and as big a scare as any of the blue-bellies ever got this side of the Mississippi. On Friday evening after ths stampede, Gen. Vaughn took supper on Gen. Uillam'd mess cheat at Strawberry Plains. The chest was well stored with coffee, sugar, salt, lard, candles, pepper, spices and delicacies. " lhe universal Yankee nation is agitated. Such an excitement has not overtaken that people for many years. " A black valise," like water unto a mad dog, throws all New York into fits. It is worth the liber ty, and before loLg it will be worth the Lie of a man to be tbe owner or occupier of a black valise. " A re ward of twenty five thousand dollars is offered by the city," and proprietors of hotels, in public meeting have unanimously wfiereased anc resolved tbat many not els were fired on the 25th and 26.h instants, and tbat a re ward ot $20,000 be offered by the N. Y. H. K. or So ciety for the safe keeping of New York hottla from the incendiary devilment of wicked rebels. Admiral Pauld ing has forbid any man visiting the navy yards. The very fires of hell are said to smoulder in a black valise phosphorous, turpentine, Greek fire, fulminate of mer cury, and another combustible which some Northern rebel has invented, that resembles common coal. No man is safe with a black valise that stock has greatly fallen, and h&s injured the value of black leather trunks boots, bridle reins, harness ail things resembling a black valise are regarded as suspicious ; for instance the " Herald " says : 'The police made an arrest at Cowell's Hotel, West street, on Monday. The circumstances under which this arrest was made are somewhat peculiar and laugh able. A young man was stopping at the hotei for a few days. He happened to have in bis poseasion a small patent shaving apparatus, which as a matter cf course, be left in his bed-room on going out. The attaches of the hotel, on learning of the attempt which had been made to fire the city, naturally enough made search through the entire house, so as to discover any evidences of incendiarism. In the bed-room occupied by the young man the shaving apparatus was found, and the lookers on, not knowing for what uses tbe article was intended, supposed that it was some infernal machine, intended to blow up the whole edifice. Tbe police were put on the track of tbe owner of the shaving apparatus, and he was soon after arrested. Having been held in custody for some time, an examination waa had, when the whoie 1 """S" 1 - matter was cleared op and.the young man discharged, This is the people that have started out a cocquering and now are frightened Hto duck fi s by a shaving ap paratus. Of course it was a " rebel incendiary plot 1" L.van't tney nre on t ort summer where mated the " Old r lag V A morality that dees not restrain violence to the emblem of " the b-et Government," &c, will hardly be proof against the sin of burning hotels. Nothing can ba clearer than tbe proof of Mr. Dtvis' complicity with the burning or attempts to burn some half dozen hotels in New York. We bfive never read anything more truly Yankeeish than this whole affair. We are gled to see that all Southern refugees are required to register. If Gen. Dix will hang them, he will do a service to our caue ; they are a set of cowarcUy sneaks, who, having deseried their cjuntry, are not above burn ing hotels. Hang every mother's eon of them. Rich. Er.quhe?. THB5 BATTLE OP FRANKLIN, TENS, The New York "Herald" ot the 2d instant contains a detailed account of the battle nfar Frenkiin, Tennes see, twenty miles south cf Nashville, between portions ot Bood'e and Thomas' armies. The Herald," of course, claims a brilliant victory. According to this account, the battle commenced about fcur P. M., on Wedges ay of last week, two cOrps of Hood's army at tacking in, their entrenchments the enemy nnder Sco field This assault was persietently followed up by the rebels in three furious charges on the Union line ol maskeJ batteries. But Soofield's men were prepared for them, and repulsed them at every point, inflicting' on them vry sevtre losses, The battle, which lasted till afttr dark, appears to have, leen a hotly contested find sanguinary tffair ; for, white according to Gen eral S-hcfield's dispatch, the Union casualties were Only a little over one thousand, between five and six thousand rebe;s were killed, woundt'd and captured Ol these, one thousand were made prisoners, inSludicg one brigadier general. Prtvioua to xbU battle, there bad teen heavy tkirmisbirg lor several days, the Union for ces gradually falling back before Hood, fi st from Pu lafcki, 73 miles south of Nashville, to Columbia, about 30 miles north of Pukfki." And thence the UniO troops fe.l baek to Franklin. " rhombs' design in it hi? retrograde movement was to eff ct a concentration ol hia forces, in which important particular the rebel com mander had the advantage 01 him, both at Pulaski and Columbia. But by the time Fianklin was reached, by the nucleus ot his entire atiny, a euffi-ieut cocsclidation was ejected, it appears, to risk a t?f neral engagement ; and, therefore, that portion under Scofield made 1 s and. I'fce rebel General Forrest ia said to have been on the fblJ, and there is a report tbat be wes killed. Great pauic prevails among the people around Nash ville, and they are fleeing to tnat city ia crowds for safety." Notwithstanding a." great victory " was gained by toe Union troops, the account goes on to say : " On tbe nigbt afctr the engagement the Union troops retirtdtfrom Franklin, and took up a position about three miles south of NaBfaville, where they are formed in line of battle. Skirmishing was going on all day on the 1st inst., within five miles cf Nashville, and heavy cannonading was heard." One hundred and seven rebel officers and one thou sand men, captured at Franklin, had arrived in Narfh ville. Another great battle is momentarily expected. A correspondent says of the Franklin fight. . " Alter three days' skirmi&hing, the rebels crowded our first line of woiks, and at four o'clock made a most deeperate atteck on our right and centre, and forcing our lines to our breastworks, which wera thrown up from river to river, (supposed to be Big Harpeth and West Harpeth riverB. Ecq ) in an open field on the Cumberland lake, which runs through tbe centre cf the field. At least half the rebel force engaged endeavored to pierce our centre and come do wn viciously on Wag ner's division, which, after despetate fighting, fell back, and Manly's rebel division, of Frank Cheatham's corps, got inside our works and captured two guns. Oar cei tre was not broken, however, and better still, General Wagner tucceEsfully tallied hi3troop8, who charged on the enemy, recaptured the two guns, and drove the di vision over tbe breastworks, capturing one entire bri gade and its commander. Among the Federal casualties ia Major General Stanley, wounded in the neck, and also Brigadier Gen eral Brodley, the Confederate Brigadier General Ad am?, reported killed, and Brigadier General-Scott, wounded. Gen. Chea ham is reported wounded. Tbe determined bravery of the rebels exceeded any thing ever before seen. Although slaughtered by hun dreds they ei ill advanc'd against our works. Eleven disiinct assaults were mada againat cur works each a failure. The troops of Generals Cheatham and Lee, were prin cipally engaged on the Confederate eide ; the Fourth corps on tne Federal. ' The Confederate Brigadier reported captured was Col. Gordon, of the 11th i'enueesee, who is a brigadier general by brevet. An Kxample for Military Men. In 1808, the Duke of Wellington was placed in com mand ot the important British expedition destined to operate in tbe Peninsula. He bad made ail his pre parations with the foresight and thorougfjaeaa charac teristic of the man ; and the expeditioa had actually sailed, when the Ministry determine1! to supersede him in the command. In a very laconic hote, assigning no reasons for tbe change, Viecouot Castlereayh, Secre tary of State, informed the Duke (then Sir Arthur Wellesley) that the command ol the troops had been assigned to Sir Hew Dlrymple,' with Sir Harry Bar rard second in command. By thia operation, Sir Ar thur's sphere of command was suddenly di m nibbed ftom an asaiy to a brigade while u the very act of preparing to meet tbe enemy. An ordinary soldier would at once have thrown up his commission m disgust. Though deeply mortified, no doubt, he sacrificed ail peiBcnai considerations to pat- notiom and principle, and in a letter, written eoon alter, said : " I shall do my best to ensure tbe success of the army ; and you may depend on it that Isbati not hurry the operations, or commence them one moment soontr than thty ought to be commtneed, in order that I may aequire the credit of the success. The Government will determine for me in what way they will employ me hereafter, either here or elsewhere " when ask ed by a familiar friend how be, who b id com manded armies ot forty thousand men, who had received ;he ibanks of Parliament lor hia victor -ta, and been elected Knight of the Bath, could submit to be ieduced to tbe command ol a brigade of infantry ? " For this reason," Wi8 the reply, " I am niuiukwailah, as esay in the: East ; I have ate cf th'King's suit, aud there for I consider it to be my duty to terv with zeai md promptitude wheu or wherever the King or bis Gov ernment may think proper to employ oit.

Of Mr. Davis he says : The private life of Mr. Davis, from what 1 can learn, is exemplary, and a model to the people.

Does tbe spectacle of blood and war wi icb. he baa brought upon the land thus subdue him ? Tbe other high officials imitate the example of their leader, and live without attracting much notice.

Hardly a day has passed that Wheeler hw not rnsraged soma portion of Sherman's army, aad the biasifai Kiupa trick h B been whipped by him as otten ba ha tigrrs and toee. Bsciass fighting wherever he cou'd fitd tne tn-emy.-roads have been obstructed, cattle aad negroes d. iv en off, the people forewarned, provisions that could n t be removed destroyed, and everything else done to embarraas and dintract the invaders. Ia this way Wheelar has render ed moss vital service to the cause, for it haa given us time to compiee defence s and bring up our men. We are now ready for Sherman, aud, strike wtibre he will, be will fiod a foe ready and able to cope with bis hired and bra at minions. On Sunday last, the 4th instant, a. battle was foucht which exceeds in magnitude any that has characterized the campaign, aDd is the efoie worthy of Borne particular men tion. Tbe 14 b Yankee corps, united with Killpatrick's entire cavalry force, made an attack on Wheeler, and a so veto bat tle raged lor several boars. At the moment of the assault, Wheeler's Jine was very much exceaded for the purpose of foraging, but he speedily brought his forces together and received the attack of the enemy with a vi,,or that made them stagger. Several times were tbey driven back by our men in counter charges, and sometimes from behind breastworks. Finally, Wheeler fiadmg himself nearly surrounded by a greatly enperior force, quietly and in good order retired and left the ti Id to tbe enemy. The losses of the latter were very heavy, and the blow cannot have failed greatly to cripple them. We captured a num ber of prisoners, one a Colonel who was taken in a hand-to-hand fight. We also lost severely in officers and mea, but in no proportion with the enemy. Among our killed was Colonel Uraves, who on the occasion was acticg aB Brigadier. Of the present whereabouts of Sherman, it might gratify curios ty, but would do no good to speak. From hia move ments we judge that he himself is not eo sure of hiB lati tude and longitude. Suffice it to Bay tbat be ha nuny days hard mircbing before him ere he wi'l be able to res pond visibly to the rockets of his irienda on the eoast, with a good prospect of having 0 fight bis way through the en tire distance. Atlanta and Marietta. Lieut. C, Luther J. Glenr baa been ordered to Atlanta to command tnat post, and pro ceeds there at once. The Gate City ia now considered sate, and refugees will no doubt rapidly return to their homes. Colonel Mitchell goes to Marietta as Commandant of that post. Thus one by one, the towm evacu tad by Shermau are taken possession or Dy tneir original owaera. The Augusta Constitutionalist of the same date gives the following account of the eamo affair of Wheel er's: x From the AugUBta Constitutionalist, 6th inst. Owing to the state of the atmosphere, the detonation of cannon was distinctly nearo, on Buoaay morning, mmo ot rection of Waynesboro'. We have it in our power to pre sent a brief, but authentic explanation of these warl ke re finances. . Pursuant to instructions, General Wheeler ooncentratfd his cavalfv forfe. and. at midnight on Saturday, fell u;on the enemy's rear with a vim. The Yankee horsemen were precipi'atitly driven Dacs upon ineir miamry support. After harrasiHg the infantry for Bome time, Wheebr retir firl r.o hi former Dosition. At daylight on Sunday mornicg, Kilpatrick's cavaly as sisted by the 14r,h corps advatced upon cur cavalry. We were stationed behind temporary bn-astwerkaand prepar ed to meet tee onset. Every charge of tb3 enemy waa re pulsed by fire and couater charges. Finally, despairing to carry cur work1? by storm, notwithstanding their vastly (su perior numbers, tbe Yankees euveoped onr flmks and made a retreat necessary. This retirement was accom plished in exoellent order. Having relieved their rear of a terrible incnbns, tbe lav keea abandoned any lurthor demonafration and contmuvd tbOnros8 was between 70 and 80 men. The enemy's loss is reported officially as 44 very heavy." Among the casu alties on our side, we are pained to announce the aevera wounding of Col. Uaiuae, acting Brigadier. One of the Yankee "tficers was captured in a hiind to hand encounter, aad Kilpatriek himself was wounded. Our officers and man behaved with the moat distinguiou ed gallantry, ai.d, considering the disparity ot turce, achieved most brilliant results iu retarding the march ot the hostile coiamns and tilling them wiih a well grouudud apprehension. At last accounts, the indefatigable Wheeler had collect ed his men and waa again hackicg away at tbe rear guard. The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, of the 6th instant, mentions W heeler's fi5ht on Sunday biicfly, and -adds : It is aloo stated that Sherman has divided Lis fo ces two corpa beitg on ht otner i.ie of tbe o tsehte.
