army into submission. The rebel soldiers, as a general thing, are stout, strong, and the very picture of health. It is insulting to our brave men that statements, so industriously circulated respecting the feebleness and lack of power of endurance of the Southern soldiers, should be believed.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Samuel Jones, Major-General Commanding Major-General J. G. Foster, Commanding United States Forces on coast of South Carolina, Confederate States.
