COBBESPONDENCE. ] Ok the Pexinscla, Near YoRrrow*. Va., ) Wednesday Morning, April23,1862. J Dear Enquirer:?We made the trip , to this place in three days from home, ; with no incident occurring en route ' worthy of special mention. The ride down the James river is a very pleasant one. Several boats are continually . plying to and fro, on business connect ed with the army. The West Point . brought us down in company with a boat full of soldiers, all of whom looked much fatigued and way-worn from the 1 recent heavy marches, short rations and extreme exposure. The ruins of the ( old colonial town of Jamestown are ~ * "1 A 1*'_ passed on the way, only a snore distance above here. The last and only vestige of this memorable settlement, is the base ancWbroken doorway of an English Church, where the first settlers of Virginia worshipped in the olden time; an heir-loom of long by-gone . generations, which recalls to memory the wild and adventurous days of Capt. Cook, which the people seem to cherish and preserve with a kind of religious , veneration. , The Peninsula lies between the York and James rivers, and is formed by the Warwick, a small stream which rises near the former, runs in a South-eastern < direction and empties into the latter.? Our line of defences, not to speak particularly, lies somewhat along and in , rear of this stream ; across which sev- ^ eral dams have been thrown, so as to < collect the water and obstruct the progress of the enemy. ^ Our defences here, and the recent ( masterly movements of Gen. Johnston, 1 appear to have discomfited the "Young 1 Napoleon," and defeated, at least, for ( the time being, the long cherished scheme of Yankeeland to sweep the ( Peninsula and fall "hip and thigh" upon : ?Richmond. At least it is reported that numerous boatloads of Federals have left the neighborhood of Yorktown, whic'h ( indicates a new movement on their part and despair of success here. This, however, may be a feint to deceive our general and make him withdraw some of . his forces before the fight, and the Fed- ( erals may return secretly some of these rainy nights. But it is more probable to us, that it is a serious manoeuvre.? Two designs appear to us possible: a , junction with the reserves at Washing- ; ton in order to threaten Richmond from the neighborhood of Fredericksburg, or a junction with the Virginia and North Carolina coast at Suffolk, in order to cut off communication from Norfolk and leave it in their rear. We have, however, been too short a while here to express anything but a crude suftnise, scarcely amounting to an opinion. The "great fire at Centreville," a^i the soldiers call it, and the necessity of leaving most of their baggage behind, have placed the soldiers almost completely at the mercy of the weather. It is both curious and amusing to see the shifts the boys make to render themselves comfortable and secure from wind and rain. We have seen a few droll fellows inhabiting a hogshead or large barrel, and making themselves, with perfect sang-froid, at home. Others stretch up a tent-fly, or a few oil-cloths and blankets, and build a rousting fire in front. Their jaded condition causes them to sleep well anywhere, and it is a delightful fact that the spirits of the ' men bear up under all their hardships and sufferings. ; Col. Jenkins' new regiment, which 'is to be armed and equipped in the very best style, has already swelled to 1*2 companies; and he has the privilege and prospect of increasing it to 16* companies. Col. Jenk'ns has shown not only efficiency as an officer, but great energy in getting up his new command ; and is worthy therefor of the admiration of every one who loves his State. Joseph Walker, formerly Capttain of the Spartan Rifles in the old "5th," is Lieutenant Colonel of the new regiment, and dressed up in his new regalia, makes one of the finest looking officers we have seen,?having the dashing appearance of a Longstreet, a May, or a Murat. William Anderson, a Captain of the old "4th," is Major. He was for some time in the British Army ; passed through the Crimean war ; is of plain and sober mien; bat is said to be an admirable soldier, and a brave and noble man. The regiment to be styled, "Jenkins' Palmetto Regiment of Sharpshooters," is com posed at present of the following Com- a panies with the following officers re- 1: j^^ctively: Jenkins* Regiment Palmetto Sjiarp i Shooters.?Colonel, M.

Gil1-^ * Iifthe other South Carolina brigade here, the condition of things, as well as the construction put upon the Con- ! scription bill, is entirely different.? 1 There the re-enlisted men and the non- ! re-enlisted men remain together; and ' positive orders have been issued to pre- 1 vent the reorganization of a single 1 company. The officers generally con- 1 strue the Conscription bill to mean that the men must reorganize not only in the same regiment, but in the same company. Although this construction is in direct violation of the expressed words of the law, which plainly declares that the conscripts may elect to go to any company now in service, yet some carry the idea so far as to say that if only fifteen or twenty men are left in a company, these may reorganize, elect their officers from their members, and have their ranks filled up with men conscripted at home. Orders have been received to go into a reorganization within the forty days allowed by the bill, but Brig. General Kershaw withholds them for the present. Meanwhile some of the men harbor a lingering hone that the Governor may decide C2 * that the Bill found all troops whose terms expired previous to its passage, actually out of service, and on a par with the reserves in the State. The bill is much discussed, and each one puts a construction on it suited to his interest or inclination. There is much in the old adage : "The wish is father to the thought." We have just had the pleasure of meeting Major Samuel W. Melton, of Gen. G. W. Smith's Staff and A. A. General of his Division. He is looking well, though somewhat jaded like the rest by the heavy work of the last two months; and wears his spurs, we >re glad to say, with much credit to limself and usefulness to the service. 1 Letters and papers to "Jenkins Pal- , etto Regiment Sharp-Shooters," or o Col. Giles' Regiment (the 5th) should t >e so distinguished, and directed to ? Richmond, for the present. We should j >e glad to give a roll of all the Comjanies from York, so that every one ] jould tell where friends are, and direct i iccordingly; but circumstances forbid IOW. MILES. ' < Ok thb Pbnikbola, Near Yorktowk, Va., ) ^ Monday Night April 28,18G2. ) ] Dear Enquirer:?Col.

Their gun-boats?11 may 1 )e seen from Yorktown?have some of. ;hem advanced as far up the York riv ir as within three miles of the town; , ind are daily, with their heavy rifled ] pins, shelling at our fortifications there, 1 jccasionally throwing them within the j edoubts. They are evidently feeling 'or the range, and strength of our posiion, but very cautiously. These are all the indications of an i idvance, that have reached us, and 1 ;hey are quite feeble. With the Mer- ' imac lying near the mouth of the , Fames, to keep their gunboats respectably inactive, and the heavy works of i STorktown holding the York, the game leems at present to be pretty well ; nn t.he enemv. Still we hear t repeated that Gen. Johnston, is ex- ; lecting a fight every day. 1 The Federals appear to ns to be far ; hore active along the Rapidan and Rappahannock, than at this place.? i They have a large body of Cavalry irowling over the Northern Neck.? Fredericksburg is in their hands.? j They have the railroad Richmond-ward ] rom Manassas to Culpepper Court ilouse. And, indeed, it is reported , his evening in Camp that Stone-wall < Tackson whipped out the command of Ren. Banks yesterday between Orange '' 3ourt House and Gordonsville. Of j course, Richmond is the point for which : hey are bending every energy. It is evidently not their plan to move itraight-forWard, strike us with light- j ling rapidity before we are prepared i or the shock, and overwhelm us in our 1 lew positions before they are fortified. ' rhey must then, desire to flank us, or j >y projecting feigned fronts upon us, i veaken our centre. This latter has ap- ' leared to us the more plausible of the ;wo plans, from the beginning; and . lence we are yet inclined to look for decisive and extensive operations at some )ther point than this place. Our sources of information, however, ; ire exceedingly limited: a paper is a : lrara avis" here; even camp rumors ire scarce, and they, you know, are unreliable. All commissioned officers who failed )f re-election in the new organizations, lave been relieved of duty, and are permitted to return home. They will peraaps be assigned to new duty, with re iewed commissions, at the camps of nstruction in the State. But we have ieard nothing on which to found this supposition. We visited the renowned old York;own a few days ago. It is scarcely iaif as large as Yorkville, and a very intiquated looking place. Most of the [wildings are very low, with high gables, md numerous diminutive windows, full three feet from the floor in the olden style. We saw a quaint, greasy, timesm-browned inn which at once reminded us of the famous Boars' head Tavern of London, where old Jack Fallstaff and Prince Hal, used to . hold their roistering revels. The piazza posts were whittled nearly in twain; the peaked roof was almost rotten enough to fall in; and the wide, low, close hall, revealed dimly through the open door, looked almost as desolate and gloomy as the entrance to a cave, or a coal-mine. It was evidently deserted by every thing but rats, grease and age. Abruptly, MILES. Prom Virginia. RTPTTMnvn. Mav 5.?Ourforces have retired from Yorktown. The movement is generally approved here. Yes-' terday, three of the enemy's gun-boats ascended the York River to West Point, about thirty-five miles from Richmond. One gun-boat fired at the last train which left West Point. From Corinth. Corinth, May 3, 8 p. m., via Mobile, May 4.?The enemy advanced this afternoon with an infantry force of several thousand, supported by two batteries, and engaged Gen. Marmaduke's brigade out on duty. Skirmishing commenced about 2 o'clock, and the artillery became engaged at half past five. The latter Kept up their fire for about an hour, when we retired. The scene of the fight was at Farmington, four and a half miles from Corinth.? Farmington is now occupied by the Federals. Our loss in the action was twenty killed and wounded; that of the enemy is unknown. The grand battle is expected within three days. Our army is awaiting the attack confidently. Gen. Beauregard has issued the folowing address to the army: Corinth, May 2,1862. Soldiers of Skiloh and Elkhorn: We are about to meet once more, in lie shock of battle, the invaders of our joil, the despoilers of our homes, the listurbers of our families, face to face, land to hand. We are to decide whether we are to ie freemen or the vile slaves of those nho are free only in name, and who but jresterday were vanquished, although in argely superior numbers, in their own incampments, on the ever memorable ield of Shiloh. Let the impending lattle decide our fate, and add one more llustrious page to the' history of our revolution-?one to which our children fvill point with noble pride, saying: 'Our fathers were at the battle of Corinth." I congratulate you on your timely .TT-itli TT/iur minorlpn hftirnor. for jUJLlVblUU TTXUU J Vvu ?? ? J ?. the first time during this war. We shall meet our foe in strength that jhould give us victory. Soldiers, can the result be doubtful; shall we not Irive back into Tennessee the presumptuous mercenaries collected for our subjugation ? One more manly effort and trusting in God and the justness of our cause, we shall recover more than we have lately lost. Let the sound of our victorious guns be re-echoed by those of the army, of Virginia on the historic battlefield of Yorktown. (Signed,) G. T. BEAUREGARD, General Commanding. CORiNTn, May 1.?The re-occupation of Decatur by the Confederates is confirmed. The Federals burnt the railroad bridges and shelled the town. We have probably re-occupied Huntsville. The weather is good, and the enemy is moving slowly on our right. Northern papers 'say the French Minister visited Richmond for the purpose of proposing mediation. Corinth, April 28, P. M.?Thefenemy advanced yesterday to within three miles of Bethel, on the Mobile and 0bio Railroad, twenty miles North of Corinth. Our cavalry drove their pickets back after a slight skirmish. From Cumberland Gap. ? ? - a 3 i.,1. KICHMOND, May l.?a uespaicu from Knoxville states that an engagement occurred at Cumberland Gap, on the 28th, in which the Confederate loss was trifling; the enemy were repulsed, with considerable loss. The Federals were reinforced by eight regiments.? We have completed a floating bridge icross the Cumberland River. General Morgan is commanding. It is believed that the enemy will attempt to make a flank movement. From the Mississippi Valley. Corinth, April 26.?Despatches just received from Tuscumbia convey the intelligence that Col. Scott, of the Louisiana Cavalry, with the two companies af Captains Cormon and Campbell, drove out a regiment of the enemy's infantry from that place. In the fight, several of the enemy were killed and wounded, and forty prisoners taken.? In retreating, the enemy burned their 3tores of provision supplies, etc. They were pursued by the Confederates, but with what final result is not yet known. Despatches from New Orleans state that there was a large fire in the lower part of the city yesterday evening, perhaps the burning of cotton and goods, as the stores were being emptied and their contents burnt. Sugar and molasses were being thrown into the streets and river from the levees. It is reported that the Louisiana was sunk by the enemy, with all on board; and that the Chalmette was destroyed, with heavy loss. The following address to the people of the Mississippi Valley has just been issued by Gen. Beauregard: "The casualties of war have opened the Mississippi River to our enemies. The time, therefore, has come to test the earnestness of all classes, and I call on the patriotic planters owning cotton within reach of the enemy, to apply the torch to it without delay or hesitation. G. T. BEAUREGARD." From Chattanooga, Tenn.? Acorrpsnnnrlpnt. of the Auerusta Chronicle 4 VW|/V?V.?... _ Q and Sentinel, writing from Chattanooga under date of the 28th ult., says: Intelligence, which I consider reliable, has just reached me that on yesterday, the 27th, a large force of the enemy left Huntsville and came down the railroad towards Stevenson. Two of the bridges on the route have been destroyed, but they came prepared for all emergencies, bringing "pontoons" with them, and thus crossing.on bridges of their own construction. They drove in our pickets at Bridgeport, and at last accounts they remained in their advanced position. As we have a large force at Bridgeport, a desperate fight may be hourly looked for. They are now out of protection of their gun-boats, and as our army in this region has been "spoiling for a fight" so long, I do not thing the conflict can be long delayed. If anything of that kind occurs, I shall telegraph or write to you. Latest from Chattanooga.?A special dispatch to the Southern Confederacy, Atlanta, (Geo.,) dated May 3d, says : "There are no Yankees this side of Stevenson. Ali gone to Huntsville. Price is after them there." From New Orleans. The news from the great exporting emporium of the South is truly discouro?inrf Wfl snnnnse it is ill]f> now to "&*"& "?.~rr ~~ ? ? " grumble or criticize, but from all the facts so far as they have reached us, there is a fearful responsibity somewhere. The city, beyond doubt, has fallen, but the loyal spirit of the people is intact. The fall is a sad blow to our Confederacy, but not irremediable.? The vast amount of property voluntarily destroyed by the people and authorities is a glorious evidence of the deepseated patriotism that actuates all the citizens of the South.?Ghuardian. Yankee Prisoners. A batch of twenty-eight Federal prisoners arrived here on Saturday afternoon, and were lodged in jail.?Guardian. ML Mleroier's Visit to Biohmond. Fortress Monroe, April 24.?The recent lengthy visit of the French Minister, M. Mercier, to Norfolk has occasioned no little gossip and speculation among high-ranked military men here. At first, as I suggested, that his mission was purely to look after the immense stock of tobacco collected for and owned by the French Government, and which is now stored at Richmond. The second proposition was advanced in the editorial columns of the Herald, to the effect that the French Government, through their Minister, urge upon the rebels to lay down their arms, as the tide of victory has set in against them. The third proposition is, that the visit of M. Mercier to the rebel capital was for a totally different purpose than either of the two. Since the French steamer Gassendi with the French Minister returned to this port from Norfolk, it has leaked uulf ILL Ebb 1/11u UliUOiUlX VI Ul* UlUViVi tiww for the purpose of opening preliminary negotiations with the rebel Confederacy in regard to Mexican affairs. It is alleged that the French Government proposes to acknowledge the rebel Confederacy, and guarantee to it its interposition to bring about a peace ?peacebly if she can, foroibly if she must?provided Davis & Co. will agree to non-interference with them perpetually in any measure she may take for the subjugation of Mexico and making it a dependency of France. Certain territorial lines have been named as the boundary line between the two new Governments, allowing the rebel Confederacy a considerable slice more than she now covers by her arms. This proposition was received with considerable eclat by Davis and his Cabinet, hence the card of Dr. 'Lemoine, published in the Richmond Dispatch, in which he speaks of "negotiations being opened," etc. This Dr. Lemoine is a Frenchman by birth and a man of undoubted talents and influence. He had nry ir\*-nvtri nm Unfll TVTor/MPr RnHTI R.f Oil! iJUlCl IV/ IT TT AVU *rjL? *iav*v?v? wwv? <_ ter the French diplomat arrived in Richmond. After that interview he published the card to which I have alluded. It is said that Davis likes the proposition as far as it goes, and is willing to send the Monroe doctrine to the dogs; but it is said that he will enter into negotiations with no Government unless they guarantee to him the territory of the new Confederacy comprised in all the slave States. Thus the matter stands. Davis is to consider the French proposition, and vive verm. It is said that among the French propositions is one requiring the Southern: Confederacy to furnish a certain number of troops to assist in conquering Mexico, the expenses of which are to be borne by the French Government.? There is a deal of plausibility in this statement, and the manner in which the visit was made, and the secrecy attached to it, at least, should make us suspicious as to its nature. It is characteristic of the Napoleonic policy to cry the empire is peace, when behind it is a full determination for war. Let our Government beware. Napoleon is famous for his coup d etat. The Situation in Virginia. We extract the following items from the Enquirer of the 29th: The news from the Peninsula is monotonous. Our forces are still keeping perfectly quiet at Lee's Mills, three miles below Yorktown, with strict orders not to respond to the fire of the enemy. In front of our position at this point, which covers the dams over a series of mill creeks, four in number, the enemy have erected an extensive battery, mounting two dahlgrens and six or eight columbiads of heavy calibre, with which they keep up a slow fire during the day. Their fortifications extend entirely across the Peninsula ; but this is the chief point from which they experiment upon our lines. Their sharp-shooters occasionally pick off our men with their rifles when any '" Viaa/IO are so indiscreet as lu un wcu ucauo above the entrenchments, the distance between the two parties being only some four or five hundred yards. Among the many splendid shots with which our army is supplied, it appears remarkable that we, too, do not try the sharp-shooting process. FREDERICKSBURG. The 'enemy do not as yet occupy the city of Fredericksburg, but are said to be concentrating heavy forces in the vicinity to facilitate their anticipated inarch to Richmond. Some of their soldiers have stolen off and gone over to the city, rollicked around, and returned, without doing any damage. They rarely escape, however, being escorted back under a guard sent especially after them. THE VALLEY. The operations of our forces in the Yalley are unknown?the situation is apparently in statu quo. The enemy is stretched along the Yalley from New Market to within a few miles of Harrisonburg, but they are still doubtful as to the meaning of the retreat, and dislike the idea of penetrating so far into the interior. The Enemy at Fredericksburg. The Richmond Dispatch publishes an account of the interview between Gen. Yeager, commanding the Federal forces at Fredericksburg, Va., and the City Council. Among other things, the Yankee General is reported to have said, that he had no authority to make any^terms, or to occupy the town; that his whole duty was completed when he got possession of the hills commanding the place; but that General McDowefl was then landing a heavy force at Aquia creek, and when he arrived the terms of surrender could be arranged. General Yeager told Mr. Slaughter that he had made a forced march of thirty miles, ancL'only reached the vicinity of Fredericksburg late Thursday night, with his men completely worndown, and was greatly surprised at the feeble resistance made. He further stated that whilst he would make no effort to harbor slaves, yet if they came within his lines and claimed protection, that he was bound to give it as well to them as to the whites who might ask for it. This letter also states that the Yankee General said he wanted provisions and must have them, to be paid for when the rebellion was crushed. From New Orleans. c< Richmond, May 3.?Authentic in- cl formation from New Orleans, by tele- w graph, has been received here. The tl troops in Fort Jackson mutinied and n spiked some of the guns when Gen. p Duncan surrendered. The Louisiana t] was a Fort St. Phillip, unmanageable, o and received a broad side of guns with- a out injury. She was then blown up by e Commander Mcintosh, who had an arm fi and a leg blown off. c About thirteen of the enemy's steam- t ers came up before the surrender of the p forts, among them the Brooklyn and s three others of her class. The enemy is believed to be in full possession of the city. Tjae French commander of the MilUarie gave notice that he re- g quired sixty days before a bombardment to remove the French citizens.? This was before the surrender. The j city is quiet, but there is great excite- t ment. The people are fully loyal.? j. All the cotton and shipping at the city f and at Baton Rouge were burned?a- g bout 320,000 bales of the former. r Likely to Fall Back; The Mercury correspondent, writ- ^ ting from Richmond the 29th, says:? Sixty days' rations for 200,000 men have been sent to some point between t this city and Fredericksburg. The or- ! der comes from the peninsula, and hence a retrograde movement of our : forces is inferred. On the 30th he writes: , The probabilities increase daily of a 3 decisive battle near the Chickahominy ' Swamp, some ten or twelve miles from J the city. i The Enquirer of Saturday thinks j that General Johnston cannot proper- 1 ly do otherwise than fall back. So long as McClellan can fight flanked by gunboats our men, would not have a fair ; chance. < t Surrender of Fort Macon. < We find the following in the Golds- boro' Daily Bulletin of the 30th ult.: More from Fort Macon? The following are the terms of capitulation agreed \ upon for the surrender to the forces of j the United States of Fort Macon, i Bogue Banks, N. C.: t Abt. 1.?The fort, armament and garrison to be surrendered to the forces of the United States. Abt. 2.?The officers and men of the " garrison to be released on their parole of honor, notix) take up arms against the United States of America until " properly exchanged, and to return to , their homes, taking with them all their 3 private effects, such as side arms, cloth- t ing, bedding, books, So. j nil, < Gen. Jackson's Position.?The J Lexington Gazette states that a prominent officer, who left Jackson's headquarters on Saturday, 19th ult., states that he has taken a strong position at Swift Run Gap. This is a gap in the Blue Ridge, east of Harrisonburg, and through which passes the turnpike leading to Gordonsville. His position cannot be flanked, and the Federals will probably venture to pass him, in order to advance on Staunton. He is within reach of reinforcements. The Lynchburg Virginian of Saturday says: We have certain intelligence from this gallant army and its reinforce- ( ments, that it may not be well to pub lish. Our hopes are high, howfever, . and our readers may reasonably expect ! something brilliant ere long. ( From Richmond. 1 Richond, May 3.?In Bath county, j Virginia, on the 26th, a detachment of i light cavalry captured a train of twenty-six wagons, heavily loaded with pro- \ visions, stolen by a marauding party j of Yankees, also ninety five horses.? Six Yankees were killed, seven wound- ] ed and eight captured. The rest dis- 1 persed and escaped. It is stated positively that the Yankees are retiring from the Valley of Virginia, and Stonewall Jackson is in pursuit. The have never been in Staunton, and it is believed they are evacuating Winchester. The Federals who approached Staunton from the Northwest are also falling back. From Bridgeport. Augusta, May 4.?The Chronicle and Sentinel has received a letter from Chattanooga, which says that the enemy has retired from Bridgeport. They ; advanced no further. . j .? *. i The Toiacco in Richmond.?We j learn that the Government has taken ; the wise and timely precaution of gath ering all the tobacco not removed from ] Richmond in two warehouses, so that j the destruction may Speedily be accomp- j lished should the necessity for this i course ever arrive. Yesterday, warn- ! ings were administered to parties hav- j ing tobacco in this city to attend to its j removal from the limits of Richmond. 1 Richmond Examiner. ' -1 The Convention. Quite an animated and interesting J debate took place in the Convention on j Wednesday last, on the resolution of i Mr. Thompson to fix a day cf adjourn- 1 ment. Messrs. Graham, Thompson, Gilmer, Jones of R- Rayner, Dick, , Spruill, Barnes, Ruffin, Smith, of H., | McDuffie, Leak, of R., Long, Kittrell 1 and others participated in the debate. < It was finally determined to adjourn on ; Tuesday the 13th of May, subject to | the call of the President and a commit- j tee of five; and that if not called together between the 13th of May and the 1st day of November, the Conven tion would be dissolved on the latter i day.

We haye seen several pairs of J iese home made shoes, and they are ui ot only strong but they are very well ? roportioned. The cheapest way that ? hey make them is to take the soles of Id shoes, soak them in water until they ra re very limber, pick out the old stitch- * s, fit them to the last after the cloth is ? tted to the same, sew the soles to the o loth with strong waxed thread, and " hen turn the shoe, nail the heel to its lace, and the shoe is done. It is cheap, jj erviceable, and a very good cloth shoe, pi Planter'8 Banner. $ ? Hi JJ?*We copy the following para- tt ,Taph from the Lancaster Ledger: ?
