upon them as friends and allies.
Mark their bitterness towards Gen. Butler,

j ed and cold-blooded traitors like Fitz John
Porter. See how they turn the cold shoul-
der to such men as Burnside, Dix, Wool,
Holt and Hunter, Democrats worthy of the
name. How little they have to say in favor
of Gen. Halleck, a life long Democrat. How
careful to say nothing by way of denuncia-

Editorial Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30th, 1863.
DEAR GAZETTE—I feel that I cannot do
' the home reader so great a service this week
.by anything I can write, as to give up the
space my letter would occupy toa republica-
tion of one written from the army of the Po-
tomac, by Henry J. Raymond, to his paper,
the N. Y. Times. It is a calm and dignified,
yet most thorough and scathing statement of
the true status of the army. Most of the im-
portant statements uttered by Mr. Raymond,
-. I have the most unquestionable assurance of
. while at Falmouth, but which at the time I
deemed incxpcdient to communicate. Some
of the facts concerning the conduct of offi-
cers high in command might be stated much
more strongly than it is put by Mr. R.’ In
fact, I believe there is no reasonable doubt in
the minds of the Commanding General, his
cordial subordinates, or the President, that
if a certain General had obcyed orders at the
battle of Fredericksburg, even that unequal
cOntest would have resulted in a triumph to
our arms. It is currently reported that Gen.
Hooker would not take the command until
this officer was witlldrawu from service un—
der him; and as I write, I see the pa-
pers are out with an Official order
deposing the offender. It. is a great pity
that Gen. "Bul'uside’s self-negation should
have prevented his exposing the whole thing
. in his testimony before the Congressional
Committee. Oi one thing ' however, the
,__,,,.. country may be assured there will be no
'_ ' more trifling with any open disobedience of
IV ”- , orders with impunity, under “Fighting Joe
Hooker ” I am quite sure the under officers
‘of the army understand Hooker to be
.. terribly in earnest, and the subordinate who
» ..'wilfully fails him, will be very likely to
' owing for it before the authorities at Wash-
. ; ington will-have time to execute the victim.
_ God only knows what is to be the result of
this last change of command, but if Hooker
I fails, it will be from just the opposite quali-
""‘""‘:‘ ‘lfies‘lwhich was condemned l1]. McClellan.
"-§ '-----'= ‘At'lprescnt, the army is as fast in the mud as
i-ifi it were immersed ill the bottomless pulp
at the mouth of our own harbor. It will
- , prove at least a negative victory, bewcver, if
it is able to hold the main rebel army to their
front, While naval and other action is pro-
" ‘ greasing in the rear. But to the Ramond
' ‘letter. .
'Of the general impression that prevails,
. that .the weather prevented the success of the
,movement, Mr. Raymond says: “This is
the surface view of the matter.” He then
shows the true cause of this as well as former
'- ‘failures, as follows:
“ I do not hesitate to say that the failure of
' this latest movement was due, primarily and
mainly to the tnsubm'dz'natz'on—the word is
. .not too strong—of some of the Generals in
command under Burnside. I ask no better
.g evidence of this, than the language openly
held by them, in presence of their subordi-
nates, of newspaper reporters and of all who
chose to listen, before the movement, while
it was in progress and after it had been ab-
andoned. Unless common report, which re-
ceives the countenance if not the distinct
cofirmation ot the oflicers most concerned, is
entirely at fault, the Commanding General
was overwhelmed with protests from his sub-
ordinates against his movements after they
had been decided ',upon, and with exaggera-
ted and untrue reports of the Obstacles in
hisfway. So far as I know, not one of them
went so far as to refuse obedience to his or-
ders: but everything short of that which
officers could do to embarrass and thwart
his plans, was done, and done, too, as on
some previous occasions, with effect and
. . success. As every one knows, there isa kind
‘ ' of obedience worse in its resultsthan flat re-
fusal, for it leaves the commanding officer
without a remedy. While it answers inform
all the requirements of the service, it insures
' by its halting, half -heartcd and possibly pre-
umeditated inefficiency, the failure of the plan
which it pretends to second.
' “One General, for example, was expected
to have pontoons enough for four bridges—
“7 44 in all, I believe—at the appointed spot by
' daylight on Wednesday morning. He had
but eight or nine miles to go, and there was
seasonally he should not have had them
' E,‘.,t,liere before the rain. He spent a good deal
, ,.,‘,"-‘of_‘,his time on Tuesday in demonstrating
' that thecllan ces of failure were 19 out of 20;
on—Wednesday morning he had 15 pontoons
»' .rlplaced in open view of the enemy.,and the
z nest {weie stuck in the mud from two to fiVe
miles back. He certainly had done nothing .
to disturb his own calculation of chances, ,
and can now refcrto it as proof of his own 5
sugacity. Another General was unreserved i
in the expression of his opinion against the ‘
movement, and did everything in his power,
even after the march of his troops had be-
gun, to have it arrested. : ,. _ \ ,
“ It may seem a severe judgment, butI can-
not help believing. from what I saw and
heard that each of the Generals alluded to,
and several of their subordinates, who natur-
ally take their cue from them, rejoiced ill the
failure of the movement. They had com-
mitted themselves openly and publicly to the,
opinion that it would fail: perhaps it would
be unreasonable to expect that they should
work with any excessof vigor to secure the
failure of their own predictions. Some of
them, unless I have been misinformed, sought
to throw the blame upon their men, and a1-
leged that the;result of recent political de-
monstrations at the North had disinclined
their men to fight ; and the election of WALL
to the United States Senate from New J er-
sey was cited as one thing which had so far
affected the troops from that State as to ren-
der them unreliable on the field of battle. I
do not believe that this is true; but if even
it were, it would much better become a Gen-
eral of Division to try 'to overcome it, than
to cite it as a reason for inactivity.
“ If this were the first instance in which the
willingness of certain oflicerscto behold, with
entire equanimity, the defeat of Gen. Burn-
side’s plans could be traced in their language
and conduct, I should hesitate in attributing
the failure of this movement to that cause.
But it is not. This is the fourth active
movement which Gen. Burnside has made
against the enemy during the short time that
has elapsed since he supcrceded Gen. Mc-
Clellan. Let us see what happened in each.
' “1. His first plan was to throw his army
rapidly upon Falmouth, cross over instantly,
take possession of the heights of Fredericks-
burg, and thus compel the enemy either to
fight him in that strong position, or fallback
rapidly upon Richmond. The one thing ab-
solutely essential to its success was the
prompt arrival of the pontoon train. This
was under the direction of Gen. Woodbury,
and no satisfactory explanation Of his delay
has ever yet been made. But that delay de-
feated the execution of the plan.
“2. Next came the crossing and the battle
at Fredericksburgh—which was certainly a
failure, and which the country generally
brands as a blunder. I think it was in Gen.
Burnside’s power to have corrected that
opinion in his testimony before the Con-
gressional Committee. He did not avail
himself of that opportunity; but said that
the country would never know how near the
movement came to being a success. I see no
reason why the country should not know it
-—and I cannot help believing that when the
official reports of that battle are permitted to
see thelight, the grounds of Gen. Buruside’s
opinion will be evident to all. It is generally
assumed that the main attack on that occa-
sion was against the rebel front, posted and
entrenched on the crests in the rear of Fred-
ericksburgh. This is a mistake which was
corrected by the General in his testimony.—
The main attack was designed to be upon
the rebel right, and the object of it was to
break their line there, where it was weakest,
turn them, and then—with the cooperation
of Sumner attacking in front—to complete
the victory and convert it into a rout. Gen.
Franklin led the main attack with his own
Grand Division and two small corps from
Hooker’s. His orders were to attack with
at least one corps vigorously, and then to
follow up the attack with prompt and heavy
supports. He sent Gen. Meade to the at-
‘tack, commanding the smallest corps of all.
Gen. Meade attacked with great vigor,
broke the rebel line, and actually pushed his
advance into the midst of the ammunition
wagons and baggage-train in their rear. He
had completely succeeded in the appointed
work; the forces opposed to him were ut-
terly routed, and all he needed was prompt
and effective support. This he did not re-
ceive. Gen. Franklin sent another small
corps to his aid, but it arrived to late. The
enemy, seeing Meade come toa stand, had
rallied ; reinforcements were pushed forward
and before Meadc’s supports came up his
force was driven back and it became impos-
sible to reestablish the line. Gen. Franklin
gave as a reason for not sending forward
heavier and prompter supports, that he was
afraid the enemy would seize his bridges and
cutoff his means of retreat. Gen. Sumner,
meantime; had opened ‘thc fight to retain as
much of the rebel force in front as possible,
for the relief of Franklin; and as he never
does anything but with the utmost impetu-
osity, he had pushed the movement till it
had assumed the proportions of a terrible
engagement. This shows “how near’ the
battle came to being a. success.
“3. The affair at Fredericksburgh, and
the investigations that followed it, were no
sooner over than Gen. Burnside prepared
for another aggressive movement. It em
braced an attack in front, at a point selected
with care, and a formidable raid of cavalry
and light artillery which was to threaten the
enemy’s communication, and diyert his at-
tention from the main attack. It was abold
plan, but if vigorously executed, was reason-
ably certain of success. Every preparation
has been made for it. A picked force of cav-
alry and artillery us got ready, under the
command of the dashing and most compe-
tent officer, Gen. Averill, and the execution
of the movement was fixed for the 31st of
December. The column destined to make
the raid was actually ill motion, when a tele-
gram from President Lincoln announced
to Gen. Burnside that he must make no
movement without first consulting him. The
General at once arrested the march of his
troops, and repaired to Washington. The
President informed him that the reason of
his dispatch was that some of Gen. Burn-
side’s subordinate ofiiccrs ilhd protested ve-
hemently againstthc movement. Thus failed
the third attempt, through the interference
and insubordination of officers of the army.
“ 4. The fourth and latest of these attempts
was the one of last VVedncsd-ly. Gen. Burn-
side. had prepared it with care. He had ex-
amined pcrsonall y and repeatedly the ground
on which it was to be executed. He had
fixed the position which each division was
to occupy on crossing the river. He had as-
certained by spies the movements of the en;
emy, whom he had completely deceived by
fcints as to the point of crossing, and coun-
ted, with thc utmost confidence, on taking
him by surprise.‘ How this movement came
to fail, I have already endeavored to shew.”

BATON ROGUE, La., J an. 13th, 1803.
1
After so long a silence as to its where- i
abouts,_,I_ must give you a little information
in regard to the 13th Connecticut Regiment.
Leaving. Camp Kearney, at Carrollton, last
October, under Gen. Weitzel, it formed a re-
rerve of his Brigade in the march from Don-
aldson to Thibodaux along the winding
Bayou LaFourchc. It was quartered at
Camp Stevens in the Louisiana lowlands,
living on the country until the end of De-
cember; then it suddenly received orders to
strike tents and leave for Baton Rouge to be
brigaded with some of thé new. troops
brought by General Banks. The forty
miles from our Camp to Donaldsonville
where we were toembark, was marched in
twenty-nine hours, including one night’s
rest. This through deep mud and drenching
rain. Reaching the river, we immediately
embarked on a steamer, and the next morn‘
ing found us at our destination.
We camped the, same morning just outside
_the city, on a spot memorable as the battle-
ground, wllerc lastffAugust, Breckenridge
was so sign-ally defeated. ' '
The scarred trees, shattered fences and di-
lapidated and deserted houses told that ‘grim
visaged war‘ had been here. But more than
this, the sickening sight of feet protruding
from the ground, and the offensive odor of
wells, where in their haste for graves,the dead
had been thrown, gave still sadder proof.
Covering the half buried and filling the
wells, we made the spot our camp. But our
stay was short. Next morning we were or-
dered within the city, inside _the entrench
meats which enclose the grounds and build-
ings of the U. S. Arsenal and Barracks.
The situation is a fine one—on a hill com-'
mending the river and the country around—-
surrounded with a parapet four feet high,
in front of which is a deep ditch.
Here are stationed some ten ortwelve regi-
ments and Nim’s Battery. The 24th Conn.
is here with us. The 25th is in advance. At
present the Brigade is under the command
of our Col. H. W. Birgc. He will undoubt-
edly receive the appointment of. Brigadier,
and there are few men in the Division better
qualified for the position.
Our condition is very salubrious. The
climate is excellent, and the men arcin good
health. ' , "
The luxuries of life are rather expensive:
butter 60 cents per 1b.; Eggs $1 per dozen;
beef 40 cents per lb. . -.
For several days wehave been anticipat~
ing an attack. On Sunday the “Long Roll”
sounded, and we were under arms for several
hours. A large force of Rebels was reported
'in front of the city. Since then, we have
been obliged to turn outin the “ small hours”
and remain under arms until sunrise. We
live on rumors—as facts cannot be obtained.
One day Vicksburg is taken, and the next,
we have been repulsed. This afternoon—
“ Lincoln has taken the field—McClellan
again has a command, and Banks is to be
Secretary of War.”
There is very little life in the city; the
handsome part has all been destroyed by our
gun boats. The business portion remains.
For a long distance around our camp, where
once Were beautiful residences, nothing new
remains but 'tall chimneys standing like
monuments over a dead city.
Hastily yours,

mg” A special from’ Cairo says information
is received that McClcrnand’s forces had lan-

- miles below the mouth of the Yazoo, in full
view of Vicksburg. Two brigades were en-
gaged when the informant left in opening the
famous cut-off. The river is new bank full
at Vicksburg.” Gen. Grant left Memphis on
Tuesday for below with one division.

@Tlle official report of Gen. Sherman,
on file in the War Department, gives a clear
history of the late attack on Vicksburg, and
shows that it was madestrictly in accordance
with orders from General Grant at the very
time and in the very manner directed. Gen.
Sherman 'was ignorant of'the capture of
Holly Springs, and the retreat of Grant, but
acted upon the supposition and previous ar-
rangements that Grant should advance upon
Pemberton, and keep him occupied, while
Bankswas to come up the river. The attack
was made with great gallantry, and would
have been successful but for the large rein-
forcements the ‘enemy was able to send to
"Vicksburg. Gen. McClel-nand', on his arri--
val, out ranked Gen. Sherman as the Major-
General of older date, and both went acting
under Gen. Grant,-‘in pursuance of a plan:
formed before the expedition moved from‘
Memphis. There is entire harmony among
the principal oflicers, and good spirits among
the men; and they are confident of taking
Vicksburg, and opening the Mississipi.

the accounts of which, you have probably
read ere this, so I need not recite similar
ones.
that I should like to mention, first among
them is the bivouac on the first night of
our- march. ‘
lTHURSDAY, Dee. 11th.——.We had been
marching at a fast pace all the afternoon,
and therefore, were tired and weary——
the vale of darkness begins to fall, but no
camp is made, still We push on Willi
hope which buoys our spirits up, while
we grope ounway through mud and Wa-
ter. Soon we see a bright light in the
distance. What does it mean? All, we
know right well i .It is the light of camp-
fires—camp-fires ahead. The glad sound
rings down the line with an echo that
thrills the heart with joy-yes, joy un-
speakable, and our burthen seems lighter
as we move on, knowing that each step
brings us nearer to the desired spot. Sud-
denly we are ushered from the dense
woods which bordered each side of *the
road, into a vast opening likewise sur-
rounded, when a magnificent sight meets
our view. The huge field is dotted with
advances, long, regular‘and irregularrOws
of. fires, whose brilliant lights cast a grand
reflection on the long rows of guns ill
stacks—the artillery ill position, which,
with horses and wagons scattered here
sand-there, and groups of men gathered
around the congenial blaze and heat, serv-
ed to_ make a most gorgeous scene. It
Was indeed beautiful. I have witnessed
the same scenes on other nights,
when the whole division were encamped
together, which was not every night, for
some nights we would be separated some
distance apart in different fields. . But;
none struck me with more beautythan
that of the first llight.
, WEDNESDAY, Dec. l’ith.—Tlle day af-
ter the battle at Whitehall, where our
regiment lost from 20 to 30 in killed and
wounded. In the'morning, the report is,
that we are to move on and take a railroad
bridge, a few miles this sido of Goldsbo-
ro. It proved true. About noon heavy
firing is heard ahead—soon we are near
the scene of conflict. Our brigade is not
in the engagement, but with one or We
others, is held ill reserve. The lighting
on our _side was done mostly by the artil~
lery, which soon repulsed the enemy.
Now cheers ring. down the lines: ‘Why?
Because we are going ,back to N ewbern,
and wewere soon on the way, (of course
supposing the fight to be over,) but we
soon have doubts about it, because just
about dusk, we are ordered to counter-
march. Now we felt just provoked
enough to fight well, and expected we
might have too.. After. marching back
some distance, we turned from the road
into woods, and formed in line of battle.
It is- new dark. We remained here
sometime, while the rebels were kept at
buy by artillery and the infantry of some
other brigade ; after which, the home-
ward march is again commenced, and
this time forgood. Now the scene along
the road was very pretty because of the
tall pines and dry leaves, which had been
set on fire, sometimes, perhaps, with bad
intentions, and other times by the fires
of stragglers, who were scattered along
the roadside in small squads. This night
we bivouacked on the same field that we
did the previous night, but not until after
a late march. .
The next day, Thursday, the march
was a severe one. We traveled all day
and late in the evening, when we witness-
ed the .same romantic sight as on the
night before ; but I may Say, with less
pleasure, because of the many times that
We were deceived iu mistaking them for
regular campfires. The road wasa Wind-
ing one—we see a bright liglllloom up
before us in the distance, and of course
*we. think it is the light of' the advance
in camp ; but all, his not,Ibut is merely
caused by the fires of large squads of
st-ragglers. Thus, quite often were we,
disappointed, and therefore were getting
so dicouragcd that our ambition began to
failus, as we were very tired and sore, so
that some of our boys likewise followed
their example by falling out in squads, cite.
“ How far is camp ahead ?” isflthc' anx-
ious question asked of some Cavalry man
or other who may be passing down the
line. It is now latc,.and the. boys begin
to despair. , But their answers vary so
much that they give very little satisfac-
tion ; for instance, one says about a mile,
another. about two. miles, then another
says, twelve miles. You can imagine
the pleasure it. affords us, that is, if you
think as we do. Finally the Camp is
reached between the hours often and
,elclIen o’clock, when we sit down without
the;slightest-desire for standing. Then
did the willandilnpulsc both agree.
Fain-Air.- ch were aroused early, and
march is.contiuued until noon, when a
long bait (for the first tine on our return)
is made to rest- and catldinnel', then .the
march isi again resumed, and we makes
camp just before the dawnof night. .
SATURDAY, Dec. 20tb.—-'l‘lle = march

traveled about 16 miles before making a'

THANKSGIVING, Nov. 27th.—It was a
cool, beautiful day. We enjoyed it hugely,
celebrating it in good New England style,
pludding, (raisins for plums,) &c., after
which, we Spent the afternoon in various
kinds of sport, while in the evening, some
of the companies entertained us with
Dramatic, Musical and Negro performan-
ces; ill the latter, some real contrabands
took a part, ill a worthy and creditable
style, affording much pleasure and amuse-
ment. The regular time for taps was
8 1-2 o’clock, but on this night they were
not beat until 10 o’clock, when we were
right on our “ taps.” Next day on
dress parade, an order is read, expressing
the thanks of Colonel, at the satisfactory
and orderly manner, ill which the day
was observed. .
Christmas in our camp was little observed,
the day was very warm andpleasant, being
like a summer day at home. '
Tuesday morning,Dec. 30th.—-The Captain
told us to black our shoes and put on our
dress coats. Why? Because we are to be
paid off. It was glorious news, for we had
been expecting it for sometime. We fail in,
the boys are tickled, and commence joking
and twtting each other as to how much the
Sutler will draw on Mr. “ Somebody.” See
the “ details,” they are on hand, of cgurse,
and the Captain smiles to see the company
out in such full numbers, wishing that we
might turn out as well on drill, but we can’t
see it. Now we march up to the Colonel’s
tent in alphabetical order, hardly able to
keep on a sober countenance, where sat the
Paymaster, dealing out the popular “ green
backs,” so calm and serene that it formed a
pleasing contrast. Our wish, dear paymas-
ter is, that you will call quite often, and with
your pockets well filled, for then we will
bid you a kind welcome. I
Next comes New Year’s Day. What a
contrast? Here I am in the enemy’s coun-
try, learning the arts of war, while a year
ago I was enjoying tile‘delights of peace and
the luxuries of life. In the afternoon, We
were mustered in for two months more pay,
which may be forthcoming in a few weeks.
In the evening the “ Dramatic Association,”
composed from the different companies,
gave an exhibition, consisting of tradegy,
songs, &c. The intervals were interspersed
with fine music by our young and progres-
sive band, which was organized by the pri-
vatcs.
Perhaps it will interest you to relate some
incidents which have happened in our com-
pany during the last few days,.bccause of a
habit, into which, of late, we have had of
throwing “hard tack,” after taps, causing
some to growl with indignation, because of
the Well directed fire of the different batte-
ries, 'which effected the loss of sleep. This
was getting played out when another trick
was resorted too, that is, of inserting powder
into the candles, which, when the flame had
reached it, would go off with a grand and
brilliant flash, causing a sensation to those
who might be near. Well, the Captain
heard of it, and of course, proceeded to find
out who the guilty ones were, so one night
last week, just after roll call, he tried by
moral persuasion to have them come for-
ward, and did in part succed, but not getting
the person or persons who put the powder in.
Hence, "not being able to gain his point, he
orders us all to fall in for drill, as a punish-
ishment, and takes us outside of the lines for
abOut an hour, but he could BOI'IHIVG deriv-
ed much satisfaction, as we were provoked,
and consequently drilled very poorly, under
the cover of darkness, which was a valuable
aid. But the richest part was on our return,
for when coming towards the lines, the Sen-
try, who had previously lct us out now or-
dered us to halt, having been instructed to
by two sly ones who escaped the drill. The
Chptain cannot give the countersign—we
laugh—then he makes us “ hush our breath”
and then oruer arms, but the guns come
down with a tick, tick, tick, that does not
suit, so he takes us back again for a few
minutes, while the sentry is waiting for the
Corporal of the guard to admit us, and
then returns, is again halted, and then al-'
lowed- to pass.
Thus do We drive dull care away “down
on the Newborn farm.” And on last Satur-
day evening, for. the sake of amusement, a
mock trial was held, one of the boys being
court martialed for throwing “hard tack”
and otherwise disturbing the peace. It af’
forded us much fun. So you see monotory
does not trouble and use up all our energies,
but is blufi‘ed off.
I_ got a pass and went down to the city
a week ago last Wednesday, to see if I could
find Capt. Allen, of Norwalk, but I did not
see him, as the “Lancer” had gone up the
Cho‘wan river a few days previous.
Friday, January 16tb.——I have written
part of‘this to-day, and previous too, as you
will see by the date, in my leisure moments.
The newsof Burnsidc’s defeat just after our
return was very discouraging, still I hope it
may be retrieved. But it seems to me that
the delay in the pontOOns was the great
‘cause of our disaster. I feel sorry for Buru-
eide, because the old soidiershere loved and
placed much confidence in him.

' DIONDAY’S WAR NEWS.
Passengers who arrived at New York
on Sunday evening last on board the Co-
lumbia from Havana, bring the new of
the burning of the pirate Ol'eto. She
had been chased into Havana by our
war steamers, where she remained long
enough to take in coal. She then start-
ed for Cardenas, but was discovered by
the Cayuga, the Cuyler and other vessels
which started in pursuit of her. She had
on a full head of steam, but was closely
pursued by that fast sailer, the Cuylcr.
Finding her case desperate, she steered
for the Bahama Islands, where she was
overtaken, when a shell‘from the Cuyier
set her on fire and totally destroyed her.
The news reached Havana on Tuesday,
and was confirmed the following day by
arrival of the Creole, a vessel that had
spoken to the Cayuga the day before.
Dispatches from Fortress Monroe say
that the Rebels, under Gen. Pryor,_ ad-
vanced across the Blackwaler .on Friday
and made a demonstration with artillery
on Gen. Pcck’s advanced brigade. Our
forces drove Pryor back again across the
Blackwater, in the direction of Franklin.
The fighting resulted. in a loss of about
100 men killed and wounded. The Reb-
el loss is not known, but some prisoners
were captured .
Letters to the Navy Department, da-
ted ofi‘ Galveston, Jan. 10, give a brief
account Of a commencement of the hem-
bardment of that place. Some execution
was done among the Rebel fortifications.
The fight was soon to be reeommenced.
At that time the Harriet Lane was in
‘ port.
Rebel papers have a dispatch from
Charleston announcing the capture of the
Union gunboat Isaac P. Smith on Stone
River on Friday afternoon. There was
a sharp engagement, and the boat was
at last” surrendered urconditioually after
sustaining much loss of men. The Rebels
'had only one man wounded. Another
gunboat escaped in a crippled condition,
Advices from Mnrfrcesboro to the 27th
note the engagement at Woodhury, on
the McMinnville railroad, some account of
whicbw e have had through Rebel sources.
It was an attempt to surprise a large
force of Rebels, but they got warning
and ware off. There was some fighting in
which our loss was two killed and nine
wounded; the Rebels lost their Colonel
and 34 others killed, and 100 prisoners.

Life in Richmond.
The Richmond Examiner, which has
given evidence for a long time that its
heart is not in the rebellion, had a sar-
castical article upon life in Richmond, a
few days since, which reveals clearly
enough the 'disgust of the F. F. V’s at
the style of morals and manners the con-
federate government has introduced into
their once refined city. We quote por-
tions ofit:—
“So careful has the President been in
the selection of his ussOciates, that there
is not a member of his cabinet, who is
not profoundly versed in the sciences and
in ancient languages, while many of them
speak Coptic familliarly. The lowest
messenger in the most obscure depart-
ment has history at his fingers’ ends and
the philosophy of abstraction in the palm
of his hand. A pnrity of life, and digni-
ty of manner, an, elegance in con-
versation, a depth of thought and urban-
ity of disposition, mark each and every
member of the administration, and
all of their subordinates, to a degree
nals of political society, and which rend-
ers an acquaintance with them a happi-
nes almost unspeakable. Free and cor.
dial association with nature so lofty and
so endowed cannot fail to ennoble all who
come in contact with them. It is enough
to move one to tears to think of the un-
approachable supremacy of the morals of
and manners of Richmond in the great
future which awaits it. .
“But it is not in high Official circles
only that the delights of Richmond life
and society are to be found. The efi‘ete,
vapid and conceited race of F. F’s has
been submerged under an inundation of
fresh adventurous Spirits from all parts of
the confederacy and elsewhere. Here is
the sweet Baltimore plug, adorning the
corners of our principal thoroughfare.
' Here are the useful and industrious exaviw
of the department at Washington. The
new man, the garroter, is here; though
we see him not, save in the prints of his
fingers on the threats of unarmed citizens.
In the palatial stores on main street,
once inhabited by Yankees devoted to the
Union, we find brawny Italians vending
apples at half a dollar a piece. and non-
deseript Southerners selling minute. plugs
of wretched tobacco at 25 cents. Stout
Marylanders occupy rooms on the cross
streets, and there throw away blockade
boots and shoes with reckless liberality.
Able-bodied refugees, from God knows
where swarm in our cellars and abandon
themselves with a noble self-abuegatiou
to the traffic in putrid oysters mixed
with mean whiskey. Substitute agents
follow their unremunerative vocation in
nameless places; cxtortionersroll in the
wealth accumulated from everything that
the earth produces or the band of man
can fashion ; bawds arrayed in the hilks
of Tyre and Sidon and the jewels of
Samarcaud illumine and perfume our
sidewalks; gamblers erect their sumptu-
oustowcrs on everyllauil; whilst’ as if
to crown this splendid concentration of
social ornaments, the verminous deserter
parades his rags in ostentatious defiance
alike of civil and of military authority.
“The variety of our people is not their
only charm, We are told that the worn
out race which once inhabited this city
were distinguished for their gentle man-
ners. No such efi'enlinacy characterizes
the lusty and enterprising population of
the new era. The Spirit of freedom is
probaly manifest in them. It is beauti-
fully exemplified in the Italian fruitterel',

dwells in a perfect storehouse of maladies,

that afflict the humane frame. To be the

ugTbe presentation of the facts; in a
