Correspondence.Floyd's Brigade. Aringdon, Va., April 1, 1862. To the Editors of the Dispatch: After many struggles and privations in our Western campaign, amid the cold and exposure of camp, the perils incident to fields of deadly strife, the tediousness and hardships of a march one hundred miles across the Cumberland mountains, from Murfreesboro' to Chattanooga, and a rough and unpleasant trip from the latter place to Knoxville, and a still worse and more hazardous one from thence to this place, we are once more on Virginia soil. Our regiment (the 56th Virginia) has been in Kentucky and Tennessee for some time past, and every heart was thrilled with joy when the announcement was made that we would again breathe the pure and in vigorating air of our native Virginia. It is not known definitely how long we will remain there, or at what point we will again meet the defiant foe in deadly conflict. We are willing to strike again for the defence of the Old Dominion and

nded by Col. Wm. D. Stewart, of the 56th Virginia regiment. Our regiment, the 56th Virginia, has sustained some losses from deaths recently. The men died from diseases contracted amid the cold, exposure, and intense suffering endured at Fort Donelson. I regret to mention the death of Capt. R. B. Patterson, our late Quartermaster. He died of typhoid fever. He was a popular and efficient officer, and his loss is much to be deplored. Lieut. Ferguson, of Company D, wounded at Donelson, has since died. Capt. D. C. Harrison, of Company "K," 56th Virginia, who was killed at "Donelson," on the 15th of February, was a gallant and chivalrous officer. He was a Presbyterian minister, and his demeanor at all times was that of a Christian gentleman. I recollect distinctly at Donelson on Thursday morning about daylight, when at every moment we expected the enemy to charge on our breast works, he ordered his company in line, and repeated the 27th Psalm, and afterwards offered up

Carter, of company "A," 56th Virginia, has been recently appointed our Quartermaster. He is a young man, prompt and energetic, and of steady business habits, and fully competent, and will no doubt discharge the duties of his office to the satisfaction of all. From the best sources of information, the command of Gen. Humphrey Marshall, between this place and Pound Gap, is in fine fighting condition. Everything, however, in that direction is at present quick. There has been an almost incessant fall of fain in this section recently, and the roads are nearly impassable. Our encampment is beautifully situated, and surrounded on all sides by lovely landscapes and grand and picturesque mountain scenery. It has been named Camp Floyd, in honor of our recent Commanding General. Sylvania.

St. Helena Napoleon (search for this): article 1
What is the spirit of the South? The London Times, in one of the most intelligent articles which, has yet appeared on American articles, sate forth the impossibility of conquering the South, If the South is really in earnth. Everything, in its view, depends upon the simple point, in the South in earnest? It refer to the vast extent of Southern territory and the courage of its defender, and says the North is imitating the folly of Napoleon in his Russian campaign and of George the Third in the American Revolution. The same cause which referred the British monarch, says the Times, will defeat the North, but all depends upon whether the South is in earnest. There never was more truth expressed in the earns number of words. Certainly, if we are not in earnest, we have become a most degenerate race since the days of 76. The men of those days were terribly in earnest, and yet we doubt whether they had the same personal animosity to their British enemies, and we know they had
