J Last night it mined, well that is noth> ing new or strange, but rumor has it this morning that it sleeted a little also. I did not see it but am convinced it did. This morning the wind is blowing a per. feet gale from the North west, direct from the summit of the Blue Ridge, which in many places is covered with snow. The ground is slippery, frozen and crusted over ; the wind is driving the smoke in every direction, especially in the direction of iko eyes, which causes them to ho red, watery and inflamed ; the tents are pop ping, tearing and many tumbling over.? It is the first sevore cold,clear and terrific galo we have had. Heretofore, the winds that frequented these parts have been accompanied with heavy rains. Some, and among the number myself, bad sorter concluded to never mind the weather so it did not rain, but this morniug all are willing to adopt the sentiment of the poet: "never mind the weather so the wind dont blow." So you see but few are satisfied entirely with matters and things as tbey occur, byt nevertheless, any person is somewhat excusable for "growling" at the fiorco and terrific gale of toiday. Pop goan a rent iu one of the tents?thero goes another struck to tho ground. It is impossible to write Ion ger?my eating tent (I should have said dining room,) is tearing into fragments, and the office tent hns fallen, struck without bands?so tny attention and services are called hence. November 17th. Well, the gale continued throughout the day. but happily subsided about dark, many tents have been seriously injured, torn so that they are not worth mending oven if the strength of tho cloth would pormit. This morning snow can be seen distinctly on the Blue Ridge, and it appears to cover tho ground in some plflbes. Tis said by son5P Pud believed by many, that this place will be our winter quarters. That is perfectly absurd and rediculous. *It is a high range with the lands, partic* ularly in the direction of the mountains, cleared. The wood, which is now but scanty, is about one and half to two miles off. The immente demand necessary for the half way c rnfort of so large a force. will soon reduce thnt into an or n plain. It cannot grow up into forest again during our occupancy. I do not know what is designed, but I do know our forces can never winter here. Should it be attemp* ted, many, very many, had better send right awav and procure their coffins, for limy wili bo needed and used* The extensive fortifications which are going on indicate, however, that we will be kept in this locality for some time. Redoubts and fortifications for the operations of our heavy artillery are erected on every commanding eminence. '[heso are connected with saps, don bio saps and trenches for the operations of the infantry with Keddans and Lunettes and other sc'.epli fic upheaving#?all la,id out according to rule and strategy. Capt. Wylie it still engaged in laying out them according to I0<?tfftj principles and a*d afjl jfMji lira j ^uapt. w., SWH fortifications and worksiWi certainly give us a decided advantage.? | : We can meet an enemy with a force of j five to our one aud then be on an equal del footing, even admitting the gallantry and bravery of the contending powers equal 1?' in every respect. But they know this strategic point and will not come. The ( Ghost will sometimes come in at the i ; wrong door. Ilere we have been wait- 'y 1 ing, watching and expecting the advance on of the enemy for Tour months?this was the door through which it was expected 001 i they must and would come. We have 'ia . been ready and anxious to meet them? to drive them back, route and whip them. ,ni j Many, very many are tired of the long l'M delay, all are desirous to put an end to wc 1 the necessity w hich separates lis from our own beloved Carolina, which keeps us 'RJ 1 from our homes, sweet homes, and from 1 M the loved ones and sweet ones of our re- Pel spective firesides. How pleasant the re? flections, how delightful the associations, lor and how tender and pure the thrills which throbs in the breast of the soldier when 'in far a^ny in a distant land, his thoughts ftl1' and affections turn to his own home, his f1' neighbors and families, and to the loved ones of his own household. The army is an infallible school for the perfection of w'' love for the household. Ladies, if any are so unfortunate as to have a cross, ill- '1R grained husband, just persuade him to l'ie volunteer and get him mustered into ser- ^v< vice, lot his walk and life be then regulated by the "army regulations" ad ministered by a West Point desciplinarian for Rr" a few months, and iny word for it, yon con will have a moat affectionate husband.? reP' It will be "our bat" and "our pants;" he kie will, notwithstanding the hard times, give "al you more new, pretty and nice dresses, 1 than you can make up. I have seen the b11'' tear roll dowu the cheek of the brave and J* C patriotic soldier when he spoke to me a- Wii bout home and his dear wife. Absence ' does not conquer but increases his love. to Yesterday our Cavalry pickets captur- lbr< ed a Yankee Captain. Lieutenant and 30 lwo privates. They were out on a foraging expedition. We got their five wagons, l',er 20 horses and the load, ar.d arms. I 0,ie have conversed with the Captain, Heu- 8',R| tenant and several of the privates?the w'1' latter say they volunteered believing'we wot inleuded to attack Washington and in* reai vade their country ; the officers say for ,en' the preservation of the Union. They W'M hail from about Albany, Troy ar.d Sara th'f toga, in X. Y. The Captain appeared to Pro be good game, he was iu the service in Mexico, and fcas wounded at the battle e,7 of litiena Vista. T To day all is quiet about an advance, juc Humor has it that McClellan has said he a0n will not attack us at this place ; that he abn knows our position and advantages, our |jkt strength and equipments, lie was to con have been here by the 15th, but that has ove passed and "nary McClellan." He may jttw come, but many of us do not believe it |yj| now, judging from the past. The dem- am onstration upon Port Iioyal is now his pR< safety valve. A few more demonstrations rat( upon other points, however unimportant fg( and unavailing, and it excuses him with er i the public opinion at the North from an <] advance on this locality. qu The application of the 9th Regiment 8lr( has been respectfully refused. We came l|Jfl here in good faith to drive back the ene- lr0( my, to prevent them from ever setting foot wj, on our soil. It was serving South Caro- lro< lina to whip them in Virginia and there' fr0l by keep them out of our State and from ^ our soil. We have not met the enemy p6(] and therefore cannot say they are 'ours.' Let the fault be where it may, it is not rjn( the fault of the 9ih. Tbe severity of (lie winter hero with so little oomfort, will tjia make many,very many, sons of Ciiroliua jev inhabit the cold and silent grave before w/tl the 8th of April. The life of every South M>a, Carolinian is now doubly valuable to our ] Stato. My course is fixed, determined roo upon. Look out for ne. LONG GRABS. Wll Jjite from Columbus.? Late intelli- *rK' gence from Columbus, by the Kentucky ll,r last night represents that an attack is con* ^ fidently and almost momentarily expec* ted.

Many of them were covered with 9 remains of the poor fellows who had w irked them, and the yet warm blood r. uneared the platform of the guns and ' in thick pools and dark stains upon p i sand and green sward of the parai r( t, and the dust of the more sheltered ch. Clots of human hair ami bits of n flesh were lying here and there, and a undent tokens weie found on every 8j nd that this time war had done well d thoroughly its bloody work. Capt. iadman, of the Bienville, who landed the second boat, look charge of the ^ td and saw them buried upon the *pot ere they had fought so bravely. Many j them were Germans, who seetned to ' u vo done most of the work at the guns ; ^ i fort being occupied by a company of ^ 5 hundred German artillery. .
