Assailed on all sides by armies, which, for numbery^nd appointments, have been hitherto unequalled in any war. Though we have been stri{/ped of much territory, have lost our chl*^* city, and though the enemy have gaineJ » hoid in every State of our Confederacy, yet. the skilTof our generals anJ tlie courage oi ourdeyo- tt*J legion^?, evinced on a hunJreJ hIoM*iy uelus i^turing the year just closed, eoable us to-duy to ijtand before the world and our enemies a tnore powerful, united and Jt*tf/mined people than at :iny previous perioJ ol our history. The time QppQj*^yfj0 (t) pause for a inoment, and cast a retrospect over the great events of the piBJt twelve inontJj!! A reeollectiotj of our disasters and our ficlorie!? is useful L now ledge'for the present ami the future The year of our Lord 1S(12 dawned gloomily for the Southern republic. The hopes of government atid fteople had just been sadly dashed by the dis- appearence of a chance of war betweon England and our enemy. Terrified by the growl of Hrit- ain, Lincoln ^d liberated the Confederate com- iiiissioners and apologised for the conduct of Co»i- modore Wilkes. We began for the firs^t time to real ize that we had to rely upon our own strength and courage abne to carry us through a war with one of the most powerful nations of modiern times. Since the breaking out of the warit had been the ij*nversal belief that, sufl'ering for cotton, Eng land would take advantage of the first pretext to (|uarrel with the Xorth, form an allianco-offensive and defensive with the South. Hut the settle ment of the >r«son Sli-Je^l difficulty demonstrated tiie lall,v.'y of this hope. We bad to look our riiemy in the Jatv*. and single handed, yirepare for tiie unequal contest. At that time it was ihe avowed policy of our uuvernment to hold every foot of the territorv ill each of the Stute»if the i'onfederaey. To ear- vy out this policy tht; armies of the Oont'ede- rucy, uumbesing perhaps L'OO.dOU men. scattered along the Potomje, the Atlantic and (i*lf coasts, and along our western frontier, were watching in monotonous, cankering inactivity tar tfie enemy to stn\e.

What she might have done undi r dif ferent management remains unfortunately »n open question. She was blown up by her commander, a month afterward.®, without having attempted any other service than the capture of two unHrm- ed yankee schooners. The grief of our ptjople when this catastrophe was nade known, waa un- bountied, and to this day they refuse to be com forted. While the Virginia and Monitor were batter ing each other's iron sides in Hampton Roads, the army of Northern Virginia was performing the most masterly movements of the war in falling back from Winchester, Centreville and Manassas, and entailing upon McClellan ■all the of the heroic city of Viekeburg, after • bomb*rdm#iU of nearly two msntbs. In (he b«(ginning of August the enemy niuitetad another large army iu Northerti Virginia «nd put fn command of it one Oeu Pope. Pope came to the oooi- m/iud with a great 'sound of irumpeJs, and is-tut-d an infamous order to hiti soldiery, which gained a>m ntfDi orable notoriety. Gen.

Editors: —A week ago this day we were hud dling in the fight at Fredericksburg; to-day a more | wbicb dijfed pleasihg sight is impost-d upon us—large boxc-a filled with clothing and provisions, contributed by the fair and generous hands of tne ladies of Robeson county have reachei us and made our catap overflow with mirth and joy Would that the friends of the “Highland Bojs” could witnef=rt the pleasure with which thsir pre sents are received; I know their hearts would be tbrt'l- ed with joy—the joy that patriots feel when they have done their country a good deed. About a month a«i we received a number of boxes at the hands of Dr D Bethune. Our campaign has been so active since their reoeplion that we have not bad time to thank him aud his g,enerou8 neighborhood for their token of esteem W« wtro then on our return from .Maryland and were in a destitute condition. All of our blankets were left upon the bloody field of Shar(.iburg Bus when the carnage was o’er and when we had reached .Madison Court House on onr returu, we were enlivened by the sight of “boxes from homa” and the jolly face of the Doctor. But now ag»in the joyous news sounds throuch our camp "boxft from horn*, boyi!" We have just pass ed through a fiery aud fearlul ordeal.—the battle of Fredericksburg, where one-third of the ocmpany were shoi down by the hordes of abolitionists who in vain aatempled to break our line. Among the bundles of clothing we notice those marked, McAlister, Morriion and others; words cannot tell the sorrow we feel and besides this the thought that Serg’t McKinnon was the man sent home to collect these necessities and before the boxes reached us hi» spirit had taken its flight But here, through me, the Company would testify to the m*ny virtues of those who are not here to receive the present? of kind friends at home. They fell with their faces to the foe, and tie last sound that rang iu the'r ears was the shout of victory. The company is now well lupplied with blankets and Winter clothing, for all oC which we are indebted to our generous friends at home, who have never forgotten or neglected the High land Boys, but have always showered their presents upon the company with unsparing hands To know that the company stands so high in the affections of those at home, ha,s often cheered us on, while trudginir on the weary march, when wading rivers, at midnight or even in the shock of battle when the missiles of death were thinning our ranks. Christmas is near at hand, I wish it wpre so that fur- loughs could be granted, and had I the power everr man should have a Christmas frolic at home But this is impossible, and since they can’t go home, it mum be che«ring to their friends to know that they are well pro- iirday, 13th l>ot-. «)nesectiori of Starr’.-^ b.attery»Ld Bunting s batterv were acro.Sh the river iu the en- ^^agemeiit of that day, nobly endeavoring tostem the onward tide of am overwbefmitig force The same day four compunie.s of the comraatwl, and fbui' pieces of Starr’s battery were at the batteries be low Kinston to rt'jiulse the t’tiemy’^ gunboat.s, »bould they attemj^t to ascend the river and co operate With his land forces Oapt Manney’s single gun and one howitzer of Starr’s battery, pkilfully worked by Lieut. «l.
