LKTTER FROM LIEUT. MAURV. KriJiu the Riohmoud Enquirer. We take pleasure in publishing the tollowing It-ttrr Croiii a distinguisheil Auierioan to it dis- fini^ut." heil citizen of France: Wv ItKoi' Frikni* Vour excellent letter ut Au^us-t last has reaofieJ lue only now Not- witbietaudinv’ its long turryiug by the way, 1 hasten to thank you tor it with all my heart, «« to assure you that its LiuJ words and gent^roua sentiments have lust noue of’ their fort-e by the '.ap^e of time it has iiow t>een but little lijore than a year 'iu'e this war was I'orced upon us. N\ e, uii our part, had to eoinnienee it without an Ariuy, with- ■ nit a Navy, and even without a governmental .ri anization On the other hand, the enemy, surrounded with all the appliances ot war and complete in his • iivrHfiization, arranged his legions for battle and r» ;ui> ed in his strength. We lound ourselves purely an agrieultural f>eo- ple, i-uf off Irunj the world and suddenly thrown ipun our own re.sourees, while In* was backed by .4II the appliances that the work shops of Europe •ould suppls or that'eommeree could furnish Notwithstanding this our people bravel}’ and de liberately resolved to withdraw from all political association with the North and to accept the con- •equences, be these what they may. There was no haste, coercion or intimidation about thi.> innfe Never was tlie popular will more fairly expressed thatj when the Southern people uttered their voice for secession. l»ur eneniit's have sought to make the impres- '^ion abroad that the reverse was the case; that this 'JO-ealled ‘•Rebellion was hatclied by a faction, ■ind is led by a low /irt -Kiff rs." So su*h thing. Vj e were pushed into it, all unprepared as we Were, by tht tyranny and the usurpation and the !.ietions ot the North. In every Southern State the petiple were re- ularly consulted ou the »ju»*stion of separation Irom the North. 'I'hey expressed their ojiinions Ireely, and after full deliberation; and never Were people more unanimous at any ballot box than Were uur.s lor in.-tant, coniplete and eternal 'j' parition trom the North; and that, too, at the insta'it. all unprepared as they were. There is n-'W n-> I nion teding in the South, but the Van- kees would fain have you believe that there is. It is a tact not Lrenorally known abroad, but I may state it now, that when this war commenc ed. and even after we had assembled an army in the field, such was the want of preparation and .such the lack of munitions of war on our part, that there was not only not a percussion cap machine in the Confederacy, but when the army of Mana.-i.sas took up its position it havl but tour round' to the man. Had the enemy joined bat tle with us there a few weeks sooner than he did, we should, for the want ot pcrcu.ssion caps, have had to-juit the tield or tight him entirely with the bayonet. Hut see what we have accomplished in the way of preparation; At this moment the grand :trin\ of the Niirfh. said t'> be the mi>>t .superb with etjuipnieiits that the wurld ever saw; an army which We have stuod >till ;iml permirted the ene my to laise and di.-cipline and to brinir ai.aiii-'t u Where are these 067,000 men? I cannot ac count tor more than about 40(),000. It is true we liave inflicted many and lieavy losses upon the enemy in what he has prooiainied to you as lu'c- fon'ti. But great as these losses have been, they do not ac‘ount for the difl'ereuce between t)t)7,O0U and 4W»,00U "Af tuui fst Republico " The I nion is gone; and the sooner the world addresses itsell to that fact, the better will it be for humanity and i'ommerce. Most that Kurope knows of us has been learn ed through Yankee aouices, and I have taken up your precious time with this disgusting recital merely to disabuse your mind of any Yankee fal.se- hoods that niay have found a lodgement there, and to give you practical illustration ot the des picable character of the peoj)le with whom, unfor- tui'utely, we find ourselves embroiled, and from whj.se a.ssociation we wish to withdraw. I pass by Sutler's infamous proclamation at New Orleans, and the arming our slaves against «iur wives and children, to tell you ot a yankee re- tinem»*nt upon sav.ige barbarity which we have to contend with. 'I'o shoot with poisoned arrows is universally admitted to be both savage and barbarous, but our men have been shot with tj.jilus(n bullets. Imagine a minnie bullet to be cut in two transi- verselv, and a wire to be inserted axially through' the front halt or ctjne—the other part is then hollowed out into a cup, tilled witli fulminate or some other explosive preparation, and then se curely fitted into the front {»art, and in such a manner that when the ball strikes, the wire is driven back, and so by percussion explodes the ball inside the wounded man. Is not that, think you, etjual to the poisoned arrow/ There can be no mistake about it, tor I have seen the missile it.self, ajid would send you one if I could tind a sale conveyance for the dangerous thing. The true aim ot savage warfare is to kill and murder —ot civilized to wound and disable. Which is it the Yankees are waging!' 'I’he negro is not, as the Yankees would have the world believe, the cause or the object of this war. 'I’hc tariti and hatred ot the Yankee charac ter—these are the true causos. They are a nation of shopkeepers ami peddlers; and under pretext of raising a revenue to maintain the government. Southern industry was taxcil t» su|»purt Yankee work.'hops. W'itli this they waxed fat and grew insolent until their in.solence became unbearable. We chose no longer to submit to their rule and so sought simply to withdraw from all political association with thetn. W^e ask nothini^ of them. All we want is pimply to be left and let alone. And the simple fact that they should attempt to force us to remain in political as.sociation with them, is proof enough as to the inequality of benefit which the old I nion conferred upon the two sections. The tass unJ turujoil abuiit .slavery i.n merely incidental in this unhappy state of atiairs. In must ot the Northern States it is against the law fnr a freed negro to come there i'hoy will not allow a ne>_'ro fr«'m the .''onth to dwell amoni; them. Tinkpr. J McUriiw. .f Miii pti, I' J Naali.

Hitherto wc have acted purely on the defen sive. We liavt nit suutrht t» invade the North, nd it abroad a.-, a honu fi.lt Southern ' "f ^ cause. ; we have stood'till, and ever 'ince the battle of I Manassas—now a year ago—ijuietly looked on ! while the enemy raised his armies and comjdcted his preparations for the war in his own v^ay. Having destroyed his “grand army,” we shall now carry the war into Africa, I hope, compelling him to withdraw his force.s from our borders and to sue for peace. liut {>eace is very difficult at present, I admit. In the North, reason has lost it.s sway over the tnind of the jieofile; and the judgment of their rulers has been taken away. In the South pa.ssions run hiirh. Therefore, in the present temper of hghting and fleeing has been troin^ on 'inee yt*s- terday week In all piobability you and the whole of Kurope will first hear of it as a great Yankee victory, for .our first intelligence of it will be trom the North. Happily, for the cause of truth, you, in Kurope, are bet;inning to tind the Y ankees out, and to understand flieir mendaciou.' proclivities.

He waited and offered J’ope battle, but I'ojio made no attack e xcept upon a train of car- with a few sick. \ o\i recollect that Mr. Lincoln i*eported to his jn-ies,' last I* cf iuber that he had an army of ‘"j( mtn al.'-caoy r^d.sed to ‘-crush out the re- ■(•llion; and that France and Kn^land were ask- • d w:).it iiinrty d^tys, when they hould have {■b.-tity of ott :I1. -oiw let Us inijuire where that army^ is, lor 1 >'• Ver l)av(‘ I :eri able to make it out. ^ ou know that u>; iiHV ‘ never pretended to have on our side rii'Tc han men in the field at any one liiii . ;-tid that in every advance that Lincoln has atfcuiptcd io make uj>on us, he has been brought ' ■ a :;ind-still, or driven back as soon as he part ed t om his ships and gunboats. Neither Hunter !i (/eor*'ia, nor l>enham in fciouth Larolina, nor Burnside in North (’arolina have found themselves in r.uliicient force to advance against us.

With this small f^orce he created such a panic in Washington ’haS Lincoln called out the militia by telegrai)h to dcfenti his capital. He also called (General Fre mont with his “division” from the mountains, and ^Ic Do well with his from the Rappahannock, to reinforce Hanks and hold in check this handful of ( onfederates, while McClellan, with hi.s “^rand army, has been chased from Kichmon.l hither we are superior to the Yankees in prow- a.v two to one, or they havt. lost since De cember last not less than a |iiarter of a million of men; or the “universal Yankee nation” has at tempted a fraud upon the government of Kurone liy miHsleading them as to the extent of the nreria- rations to “crush out” the so-called rebellion in nmety days. Moreover, in all of our engagements with the enemy, he claims that we outnumber him •1(M VJOU? them to agree upon the preliminary stop to any lasting peace, viz: the adjustment of boundaries. We are, therefore, drilling into a war ot ex haustion. . There are rumors of an armeu intervention from your side. But uj.on what basis this inter vention is to take place, the many tongued dame has not deigned to enlighten us. Any such in tervention cannot but work mischievously if it fail to recognize the right of the people in the disputed .States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri freely and fairly to decide for them selves whether they will ca.st their lot with the N(jrth or the South. Neither can it be supposed that intervention would recognize any dismeinbcr- nient of pre.sent States. With us, this is not a war of concjuest, but a war ior a principle, which is dear to every French heart—a principle by which your Kmperor sits upon his great throne—the right of every people to be governed in their own way. 1 he strong arm ol mighty nations may force a peace upon some other basis, but any such peace will prov'e a hollow truce. There has, permit me to say, been already at least one error committed by France and Kngland in this war; when these difficulties commenced all Europe viewed them through Northern media. This was natural enough, perhaps, for all Kurope depended upon Northern statements for informa tion concerning us. These have now been found to be erroneous. But not until France and Kng land had committed themselves to a blockade that was against all rule. The effects of that block ade upon our industry is likely to prove lasting, and certain cla.s.ses in France and England may yet find cause to rue it, even if ministers do not. You can well conceivc that the blockade affords most effective encouragement to home manufac tures in the South. The energies of the people have, by it, been diverted info new channels of industry, and manufacturiug establiwhments are rapidly springing up on all hands. So that when France and Kngland decided to respect Lincoln’s paper blockade, they unwittingly, perhaps, called influences into play which are rapidly converting us into a manufacturing as well as an agricultural people. The operatives in your workshops may yet have cause ta lament a policy which cannot fail to call into existen(?e many rival establishments to yoar owii, and which would not have found cx- Loiio jiiiv he live to enjoy the gratitude and .'miles of tho.M‘ win. have beJii so intimately coti- iiectoil with hitu in camp for the last I - zuonths Wc started about ll-' o’clock Sun.lay, in pursuit of the yankees—got in one mile ot them—opened tire upon them with our artillery, which was kept up till late at night, when the tiring ceased on both sides.

()n Tuesday evening, the battie at this place, ((’ruise’s field,) comtuenced, which according to the numbers en gaged wa.s the hardest of the fighting, attended with a.s much slaughter. ()ur brigade was brought into action late in the evening, and marched into the field in the face of heavy cannonading. The 2)th regiment went into the action yelling at the top of their voices, and the field of battle showed next morning what part she had taken in the con flict, when .several of her boys were found dead in fifty paces of the yankee battery. The firing ceased about midnight, leaving the (’onfederate.s In possession of the field. The yankees left by daylight next morning. It affords me much pleasure to state that all our field officers as well as the company command ers behaved with marked bravery. Providence seems to have smiled upon us, and J am happy to state that the loss of our reginient is slight.
