clothing, and thousands of them destitute of shoes, it was yet believed to be strong enough to detain the enemy upon the northern frontier until the approach of winter should render his advance into Virginia difficult if not impossible. * * * * * * The arduous service in which our troops had been engaged, their great privations of rest and food, and the long marches without shoes over mountain roads had greatly reduced our ranks before the action (Antietam) began. Hagerstown, Md., September 12, 1862. His Excellency, President Davis: A thousand pair of shoes and some clothing were obtained in Fredericktown, two hundred and fifty pair in Williamsport, and about four hundred in this city. These were not sufficient to cover the bare feet of the army. headquarters Department of Northern Virginia, December 2, 1862. Honorable Secretary of War: Sir.—I have the honor to report to you that there is still a great want of shoes in the army, between 2,000 and 3,000 men being at prese

Cobb had organized the legion, he was a noted man in Georgia before it was formed. Though Colonel William G. Deloney was our Chevalier Bayard, sanspeur et sans reproche, he fell at the zenith of his glory, September, 1863. Though General G. J. Wright was as brave and gallant as man could be, yet they all were older; we expected much of them. It was not the same feeling we had for Pierce Young. As Colonel Baker, of the 1st North Carolina Cavalry, told him at Middletown, Maryland, September 12, 1862, where, after a hard day's fight, incensed at some slighting remark that Baker had made of a charge of The Cobb Legion, he defied him to mortal combat then and there, on horseback or on foot, with sabre or pistol, or any way he would fight. Why, Pierce, you are nothing but a boy, you forget yourself; I came here to fight Yankees, not as good a soldier as you. Unmindful of the emphatic berating of his junior officer, conscious of his own courage, demonstrated in many a fierce encounte

Confederate Congress. Friday,Sept. 12TH, 1862. Senate--The Senate was opened with prayer at noon by the Rev. J. D. Coulling, of the M. E. Church. Mr. Brown, of Miss, offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the Committee on Military Affairs be instructed to inquire whether persons holding commissions in the army of the Confederate States are employed as clerks in the Departments, and especially in the offices of the Quartermaster and Commissary General, in this city; what pay and allowances such clerks receive; whether they are paid as clerks or commissioned officers, or both; and whether the duties performed by such commissioned officers, as clerks, may not be as well performed by persons taken from civil life, and at less cost to the Government.

Camp star Martinsburg, Sept. 12th, 1862. Since leaving Richmond many incidents have come to my knowledge, which, perhaps, many of four renders would like to know. Jackson's corps crossed the Potomac on the morning of Friday, the 5th of this month. The ford was more than half a mile, and to me, whilst observing the passage of the troops, it seems as if I was suddenly transported to the times of ancient history. The whole river seemed alive with troops pressing forward, each eager to place his foot on the soil of Maryland before his comrades. The next day we entered Frederick City to the great joy of many good hearts, who had been long looking anxiously for our coming. We captured a considerable amount of hospital and army stores; also, some 200 or 300 sick, together with their attendants, the troops stationed at the place having taken flight the night before, after burning an amount of stores. The sick were paroled and passed across the lines. Many of the citizen
The Yankees and East Tennessee. --The Knoxville Register publishes the following letter, picked up at Cumberland Gap, after its evacuation by the Abolitionists: Cumberland Gap, Sept. 12, 1862, 8 P. M. Dr. Foster, Esq., Cincinnati:Dear Harry: I seize a moment to write you a few lines, which I send you by a courier that starts for Somerset now in a few minutes. The devil is to pay this evening. We evacuate this infernal place to-night. While I am writing this some of the Ohio boys are now passing out on their way to the Ohio. These d — d East Tennessee renegades General Morgan is almost disposed to leave behind, to the tender mercy of the rebels. I tell you, Harry, they (I mean these infernal renegades from Tennessee) are the most complete nuisance a white man ever had to endure. They are an ill-natured, cross-grained set of worthless ours, cowardly, mean, trifling, contemptible offspring of weak humanity. I think we will run the gauntlet safely. The General ha
