[FOR THK LANCASTER LIIKJIR.]
Gerniantown, Vh., Aug 14, 1861.
On Monday morning, llie 3d Brigade r
the corps of the army of the Potoina
struck tents at Camp Pettus and took ii|
the Hue of inarch for this p'ace. The 3
Brigade is composed of the 6lli Regimen
Col Jenkins; the 4th, Col. Sloan ; the 6ll
Col. Winder, and the 9*.h, Col. Ulanding The
sick who were unable to travel wt-r
left. Dr. Crawford was detailed to alien
the sick of our Regiment, the 9th. Uu is
great f.iVorite, and especially beloved by th
sick It is to be hoped the separation wil
not last long I miss his company, societ
and cheerfulness in our mess In a cam]
life it seems if measles are prevailing u
onfe escapes, who has not had them. Pel
sons who have had frequent opportunilie
of taking measles at home and escaped, nr
ure to take camp measles. It is certain!
the most unpropilious place that a poo
soldier could take Iheur. but so it is, he ha
to submit to his misfortune and bad luck
without a comfort, hut on the contrary wit
every privation and inconvenience ; oftei
wet, with a wet blanket to sleep upon,
wet blanket to cover with, a wet kimpanel
for a pillow nnd the wet ground for a l>ed?
he baa to grin mid bear il. At heme, l?
w oold die with such tieatiuent, or., rallie
with such sufferings, but in citmp, n kin
God seerus to protect tlie patriotism of tin
poor eoldiei and spare the lives of mnny
who under any other circumstances vvouli
die. Eniugh and too many will die hori
as it is, but if any of our friends at bom
could be suddenly transferred from the cons
forts of homo nnd see the sick here, tliei
condition and sufferings and what they un
dergo, they would suppose all or nearly nl
must die. Previous to Monday for the las
tvo weeks, the sun when it una not rain
ing w as exceeding^ hot. Monday, the d?
we left (lamp Peltua, was cloudy nnd pleas
Ait, but soon after wu commenced tli
m>rch it begun to rain and ruined on us th
moat of the way ; the roud was often on
puddle of water and the steady tramp c
tie four Regiments made it us sloppy a
the streets about a wet Christmas, or lb
hog pen about hog killing litne. The roa
in some places being red clay like the Wax
haws, iu other places a white soil but equal
ly an stiff nnd muddy. IVe were iu th
rear of the four Regiments, and the bajj
gage trains of the other iliiee contribute
to make lire roads worse and atill uioredii
agreeable, hut a soldier can get used to nl
most every inconvenience. Many wtr
cheerful and appeared to enjoy the fun o
tie rain pelting from above nnd the watt
flowing in the road beneath their feet?
few looked ns if it was more than they de
ired or Lnrgaiutd tor. Kueli man on tin
march carries his musket, cartridge box fill
olwilh powder and ball, from 20 to 4(
rounds ; his canteen filled with water, bit
iinveraxck with three days provisions, nu<
liia knapsack Willi his clothing a mi blnti
bets. The weight of the whole being ful
Jy fifty pounds. My office require we t<
have a hor?e. I find one useful and conve
? ieiit <n many occasions, but especially sr
on such ? inarch ni we had on Inst Monday
It is true n horse in some trouble in cuwp
but on the march his usefulness counter'
balances all that. "A horse ! a horse ! ni)
kingdom for n horse !" has been thought o
nnd wished for with as much earnestneai
nnd vim, as when that expression was utter
ed by King Richard III.
Germantown is 14 miles from Alexandria
about f.om Prirfax (J. II, and about II
miles from Washington. It is a sinnl
cross roads village ltefore the Uncoil
forces passed along it contained about 8 o;
ten houses, six of which they burned ; llv
chimneys nnd cinders mark the placet the]
aloud. It was a low, mean nnd contempt,
b!e revenge, prompted with a Hessian apii
it of meanness, to destroy the dwellings o
unoffending citizens, for to tliein tliev lin
done no harm, beside, they were the houae
evidently of poor men ; their families ar
now out of doors, houseless and hoiuelesi
Autfunt 18th.
Yesterday in company with Col Oland
\iag I visited tile camp ot Col. Kershaw'
Jtegiment, now about Vi miles from ua.~
J tnraa sorry to find a great deal of sfoknes
in that regiment also. Their atuk hav
been sent off* to the liotpitui at Culpnpei
Orange and Charlottesville, end some t<
Fairfax Court House, which is near by.?
itetter attention uod tuore comforts can b
gi?en thsui at those plucea. Not more thai

^ AMSiBffiLCapt. HI., hod not relurnet
? i trom Kichmond, whither ho had gone on
j business Lieut. Welsh is with his son
^ , who was wounded in the battle of the 21st.
i Lieut's. Clvburn and Perry are in command,
both were well. After the sick is sent off
' | to the Hospital it is difficult to hear from
= : them, there is so little communication with
I those places and they are so distant in tho
? rear. Many of tho cases are Typhoid Fever.
With that disease, attention and good
nursing is ull important and saves many s
life.
In tho evening Col. B. and iiivsolf return*
,1 ed by way of Fairfax C. SI. The churches
r- are used for general hospitals, nearly nil
?l_
me |>riv?io resiuencca navo an ninny 8i"k
soldiers n? thby can attend to. I visited
_ the nick of Capt. McManus Company and
found them comfortable and out of danger.
We a'ao called to see Mrs Jackson, the
^ widow of the martyr and hero who killed
Col Ellsworth, of the Zouave Regiment,
} for entering his house in Alexandria and
^ pulling down the Confederate Flag which
^ proudly floated from its dome. She now
resides at Fairfax C. H. Our visit was received
in the apirit which dictated it. She
very kindly and cordially offered us her
^ house and attention in case of sickness.?
She has three select and interesting children,
all girla, aged from seven to thirteen.
. She is now engaged in ministering to the
v want8 and comforts of the poor sick soldier,
having several patients under her hoa(
pitable roof and receiving her kind and corr
dial attention. The fund which a generous
South and her public spirited citizens have |
contributed for her relief, comfort and supe
r
port, has been most worthily bestowed.? |
Her three daughters have yet to be educated
A small contribution from each will
s
( never be missed, the aggregate would con
^ fer immense blessings. Think of it s) inpathizing
friends who have not contributed
^ and support your sympathy with an actual
vouiriuuuun. n win never give you a puin j
on your den*h bed. 1
^ This morning^ report shows the nick list
204 in our Regiment. Provisions rather
(j scarce in litis locality, so many soldiers to
be fed. Thousands are no* about here,
e
, and thousands have been nbout here. The
j people say the Federal troops killed,destroyed
and eat up all, in most eases, with
e 1
^ out paying. Abuse is now piled up on the
^ Lincoln forces for what they did in passing
to Bull Run. No complaint for what was
done in the retreat, for that was made in
II 2.40 time, the double quick being not fust
^ enough.. They bad no time to eat or destroy.
What Was said when they were eny
camped nbout here, I know not. 1 doubt
( whether the abuse was piled up as strong
ns it now is. Do not infer we do not get
e *
( enough to eat, the Government takes cure
^ of the substantial nnd provides nccordingj.
ly. That is brought up from Richmond
For some days and in fact all the time ue
?
were at (Jump Pettus, eggs, butter, chick
ens and vegetables could not be bad for
love or money ; but since our encampment
here, we have bad a taste. It is amusing
^ to witness the t<cruuibling when none horse

The Privateer Jeff Davis. I 1<
Our community heard, with the deepest In
regret, on Saturday, that the privateer Jeff at
I Davis, in trying to make the port of St. . A
Augiulino, Kin., had struck on the bar and 1)
was lost. It was a matter of congratulation, at
however, that every man of her gallant tl
crew was saved. Mr. Felix C. Dolrieux, | ft
one of the wrecked privateersmen, a.rived j w
in Charleston yesterday, and from him our I In
reporter has obtained the following inleres j si
ting narrative of the cruise of the Jeff. I

On the following day, the lookout at the )l(

owing to some dtsarrageitienl of the fore mi
topmast gearing, they were not pursued ? ce
On the evening of the same daf, a large g,
vessel, of doub'ful nationality, was seen, p?
but supposing iter to be French, no demon en
titration was made to nrrest her. \\
On the 4lh of July, a salute, in honor of pi
the Confederate tl'g. was tired, after which e?i
ail hands, by older of ('apt. Coxetter, p,
' spliced the main brace" In the evening, \\
a sail was discovered on the Ice how. tin 7.,
approaching this vessel a gun was tired, Hl
which caused her to heave to. (in tOtnini- ,1,

This vessel proved to be (he slop Mary in

on buurd, the gallant Capl. Coxeller al ; rij
once determined that the Mary Goon well, I
in consideration of her fuir passenger,

willi a hearty response Irom the crew. As lc
the Jeff. Davis, however, had inure prisoners

of the prisoners to the Mary Goodwell was ih
decided upon, uud a portion of the pris- pr

After leaving the port of i'orto Rico, the
Jeff. Davie boarded the eehr. Windward, ?|
with aail from Turk's Island to Holmes'

should be made of the Windward, her fate
waa decided by the appearance of another '/

To give you some ides of the coolness

During the battle, a poor little rabbit,

few moments, u private in Capl. Haile'e

My attention, during the buttle, was atvcted
by a negro who fought with grout
loluess and bravery, lie had obiuined a

ed, would exclaim : "My gully ! how i/?

The Cruise of the Privateer "Dixie"?
History of her Exploits on the High
i Seas.
The thunders of a Confederate salute in
I our hnrbor yesterday morning set all the
i town agog with curiosity. A general rush
to wharves reunited in the ascertainment of
i tlie tad that tlio giy little privateer Dixie,
i safe from tho perils of fire and water and
I Yankee cruisers, was again under the guns
of Castle Pinckncy. Wc are indebted to
' the courtesy of Cnpt. Moore, for an interj
citing account of the adventures of the
j cruise.
The Dixie weighed anchor in Charleston
| harbor on the 19th of July. On tho following
day, aided by a ntlflT breeze, she
l succeeded in getting out safely to sua.?
j The privateer pursued a soulheaste-ly
! course, without any incident of apecial moment
until Tuesday, tho 23d ult. Alan
| early hour on that day Cupl. Moore made
a nail upon the lee quarter, and tacking ship
soon overhauled her. A gun fired across
i the bow of the stranger speedily brought
Per to. The captain was ordered to come
on board the Dixie, and hie papers showed
I his vessel to ho the hark (Jlen. of Portland,
Me, bound to Fori Ji (Person, Tnltuga*,
| Willi a cargo of coal. Without furtherccrI
ituoiiy the Yankee skipper was informed of
> the business of hi* captors, and made pris'
oner. A prize crew was put nboard the
1 (Hen. who didn't take her to Fort Jefferson,
i a id the Dixie went on her way rejoicing.
