[FOR TUB LANCASTER LEDGER.]
Csntheville, Fairfax Co., Va. )
November 10, 1801. 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

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
