Wo have j'iceived from Messrs. WALSH and

established journal, published in Augusta, Ga.
This jeuraal is dcrulid to Ike Interests of the
Roman Catholic Church, which Church, un lil the
inception of tho Pacificator, was without a rep
resentative organ in the, Southeia.Confederacy.
Ita Editors hare long been controetcd with lue
press of toe South, particularly with tho daily
Cvnttitittionalitlof Augusta; in this great strug
glo they are with the South heart and soul-bend
and hands. Tho first number of this paper was
published October 8th : it has BOW reaehod its
sixth or sevesth number. Its columns, edi tomi and
otherwise, ovince a very unusual degree of nsoa
Ul vigiw. Among those who write for it, aro
Bishop MCGILL of Richmond,and Bishop VEROT
of Savannah, Christian prclales of the mest ex
alted character and magnificent attainments.
The Pauificaier is published eTery Saturday at
$15 per yoar, or $3 for six months. Most ear
nestly do we kopo that this journad will be pow
erfully instrumental ia removing those unfound
ed prejudice, and upjuet assumptions against the
Church of so many outside of her jarisdieticn.
It gives us much pleasure to recommend the*. Pa

MR. Enrron:-As I have jun ariived hom? or
furlough of inability from effect of wounds
from tba 19th Regiment, B. C. V., and Jhose har
ing relatives and friends in thal rcaanisnd, kar
I iug sat been abie to boar frets them in some
time, owing lu ibenaluro cf tho recent eampaigu,
permit me, througk yenr cel?mes, te stat? thal
when I left the army, which was three week?
ago, the health of tho huh Regiment was verj
good, and th? menin a glee of fine sohier. I left thc
eommanddu North Western Alahtma, en route
for Tennessee. Notwithstanding the arduoui
duly we had to perform OB the march from Pal
metto, Ga., to Gadsden, Ala., the troops steed it
manfully, and were in a spirit of new encourage
ment, belioving that tho plaas of Gens. Hoes
and B>:AVBEaArtn would causa the cattpaiga to
bo tho mott successful otc of the war.
While immediately in EKKKUAX'S rear in our
operations, wo tore up 40 milos of Bailroad and
captured Dalton with 900 negroes, all of whom
ware dressed in Yankee blue. Capt. MCCASLIX
was in command cf our Eegimcst duiing the
marok, Cob SHAW and Maj. Warns not having
returned to the commend. During the march, in
skirmishing we lost ono man killed ind three or
four wound od. . ?
I tm glad to say the Adcertiscr comes rtry
regularly, and uH in the command, as well as
myself, ara as cager to'ssc it as though it were a
messitge from some loved one, or '' sweat heart"
if you please. And If tko Paymaster will cc me
around in time, at* tho oxplralio;! of my sub
scription, you may look out for another X for its
continuation.
In reference to the condition of the whole ar
my when I left, notwithstanding thc hardships of
the campaign, the troops were all loeking well
and lu the bost of spirits. They were receiving
new supplies of cloaking,. blr.nktts and shoes;
and th ero was more talk of pushing on for Ten
nessee than of home or furloughs Ono day,
while riding along tho colnmn, Gsn. Hoon ob
served, ? men If I csrry you into Tennessee and
rations get scarce, will yea help me m&ko broad,
end carry your gritters in your pockets?" kW
responded aloud that they would.
On my way homo, I saw that thcro wera great
oom crops in tho Staten of Mississippi and Ala
bama-many plaoes corn selling tor but ono dol-'
lnrpcr bushel. And I would advise-any on?,
croaking about nur pres.-nt couditlpa, to uko*
trip ont west for bia health, and if-ho will sur
vive long enough to roach thoso rich'valleys be
tween Selma, AU., and Detaopolia ou tho Tom'
