AKMY CORRESPONDENCE.
Charleston, October 18, 1863.
Jr The city is remarkably still at present,
and the only news we have, is
such as you receive daily through the
tCJolumbia papers. There has been lit?tle
firing the past week, the vessels reT
inain in their former positions, while
the
Yankees are reported by those who
have the privilege of "seeing them
through glasses," as "working like
beavers." The Ironsides still keeps
watch and word, though the Yankees
reports she is to be sent home for re-jpairs;
so it seems that the torpedo boat
Vdid some damage, as the Engineer is
also said to hav9 been killed. It is
probable that the little David may give
the $oliath another sling before long.
{There have been several aocidents, or
'-mischances occuring here since my last.
Two little white boys, named Perkins
. and BroklebOrk and a negro were instantly
killed by the explosion of a shell
with which they were tampering to get
the powder out?they were dreadfully
mutilated. On Wednesday morning
last, Capt Wm. H. Wagner, of General
Ripley's staff, was found dead near the
corner of King and Broad-St. about
day-light by a negro, who reported the
/ foot to the guard house. A Jury of inquest
was impannelled, who brought in
,?a verdict,, that he came to his death by
being thrown from his horse. A brother
of the deceased, not long since was
killed by the bursting of a cannon. An
elderly lady, while returning home from
a charitable vistit, lost her iray, getting
into the marsh, and the tide' rising,
drowned her. Thus you see, that
though war has its horrors, the imagi'
nation seldom pictures those daily dispensations
of Providence which everywhere
surround us.
Our Generals are placed much in the
same situation of the man who won the
elephant in a raffle?they have two
Regiments of State Troops here, and
the puzzle seems to be, what to do with
them. They are all well provided for,
the commissariat excellent, * and the.
arms of an excellent pattern, being
new rifles, &c. The 1st Regiment,
Colonel Roberts, is now doing guard
-duty, in and around the city, of which
:we?haie .been leliessd^the 5tb, .Col..
Williams) as Gen. Ripley has turned
U3 over to General Gilmer, who is looking
out a position for us. This state of
things induced *a proposition on the
part of many of our men, nine-tents of
whom are farmers, to be furloughed for
one month, in,order that they may
gather their corn and sow their wheat,
but at headquarters it is thought the
step would be unmilitary* and reflect on
our patriotism. The privates here have
no opportunity of reaching Gen. Beauregard,
but several writers in the CW
ner have called attention to many facts,
relative to our provision resources,
which must prove as startling as they
are true. You have no idea of the
ennui that prevails in our camps, with
nothing but three hours drill, 1| at a
time, to break it. The novelty, of the
city has worn off, and "as Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands to do,"
we only wonder that so much sobriety
and good order preyaijs.
The trial of Gen. Evans has been
concluded, and the decision returned to
the Secretary of War for consideration.
Nelson Mitchell and Franklin J. Moses,
Esqs. were retained as Counsels. Gen.
Evans is still here, we presume ready
to take charge of his gallant brigade
now on James' Island and Mount Pleasant.
~
Gen. Wise is here?he is a dried-up
looking little man, with white hair, but
a bright and piercing eye that seems
to have lost none of the wonted fire
that characterise his earlier years.
The homes of worship are generally
ojfcfc here on the Sabbath, and well
attended, principally by the soldiers.
The Methodist keep up a continuous
meeting . every night, throughout the
week, where .the soldiers generally resort.
Several of us attended the services
of the Rev. Mr. Forrest this morning,
who cordially extended the freedom
of his pews and his professional
services to the soldiers. His sermon
would constitute a good tract for circulation
among the speculators, as he
showed that Judas Iscariot would have
blushed at the very thought of betraying
the Saviour, if the spirit of covetousnew
had not first entered his heart.
As to home folks our company (B)
- * ' TX- ' "
are enjoying pretty good health, and
getting used to mutfquitoes, and wiggletails
in their water; the same may be
said of Comprny K?the men, generally
would prefer to stay in the" city,
to going to the country, if not to be
sent home for a while. Capt. Gill's
Chester company are quartered at Summerville
for the present?it is probable
that the rest of the Regiment will be
sent to Branchville or George's Station
?or, somewhere else, the present week.
In the meantime direct your letters, as
usual to the 5th Regiment, and write
often words of good cheer.
Salt remains at $25 the outside; sugar
$3*per pound; pork, 1.50 per lb.;
beef, $1 per lb. ; butter $4.50 a $5 ;
and everything else in proportion. No
more at present, but hoping you will
I take advantage of the good season we
hear you are having I close my weekly
report. E.
P. S.?As it may be some satisfaction
to your readers, it may be stated,'
that no fears are entertained that
Charleston will be taken; the Yankees'
may burn it down with their shells and
Greek fire; but she will stand forth like
the Vestal Virgin the more purified becruse
she can never be polluted by their
vandal torch. The heart may bleed to
see the rnin that may befal her, but
her shrines will be still sacred, and at
them, many a prayer will still ascend,
that the time be not far distant, when
she blest with peaceful independence
will rise like a Phoenix from her ashes,
a mighty monument in itself 'to the unrecorded
dead." E.

Marietta, Ocober 12.?Rumors have
been in circulation here, since our last issue,
that Wheeler bad captured another
wagon- train of the Yankees, somewhere
North of the Tennessee, and burned the
wagons, rositive miormation nas Deen received
8inoe, as we learn by private letter,
that Wheeler had captured one entire regiment
of the enemy at Walker'B Cross Roads.
It will he remembered that the Yankee papers
claim a victory at that point.
Everything is qniet in the region of
Cleveland. The Federals have evacuated
Athens, and -fallen back in the direction of
Knoxville. Reports from reliable souroes
have been received, as onr correspondents
inform us, that the Yankee force in East 1
Tennessee are falling baok towards Cumberland

the 7th. 1

ary Ridge, via Chiokamauga, 14th.? g
Thejfollowing offioial dispatch was reoeived t
from General Wheeler this morning. He
says: We crossed the riper in the faoe of
a division at Cotton Port ford on the 30th 1
nit., and proceeded in the direotion ot Mo- c
Minnville, where, after a sharp fight, we *
captured a large train with seven hundred c
prisoners.
The train was loaded with ammunition, J
and other stores, and was supposed to-con- 1
sist of seven or eight hundred wagons, 1
which were burned. We then attacked 1
MoMinnville, capturing altogether 530 *
prisoners, and another large train of com- '
missary stores, ammunition, arms, clothing, i
&c., and destroyed the bridge aoross Hick- 1
ory Creek, together with an engine and a
train of cars. We then mqde a demonstra- tion
upon Murfressboro, destroying the 1
railroad bridge over Stono river, took a
train of the cars at the bridge near Wartrace,
and then moved to Shelbyville, where ,
we captured a large amount of stores and :
burned them.
This is a severe blow to Rosencranz whose '
.men have been on short rations for some
! days.

were driven back, when his skirmishers fell I
npon Molntosh's artillery, supported by ?
Cook's brigade. Cook was wounded early
in the action and the enemy threw his brig- J
ade into confusion, taking five pieces of ar- *
tillery. Reinforcements coming up, we 8
were pursuing the enemy at last advioes to- ~

are afloat, but nothing reliable.
Goedonsville, October 18.?The ene- my
were driven to their fortifications at tl
Centerville and Manassa, to which they. 8
have been fleeing the last several days, d
pursued by our army. They have destroy- v
ed along the line of their flight all commis- b
sary stores and all other materials whioh li
they could not carry away. The fighting h
has been with smaller bodies, as our forces a
would come up with them. The battle of '
Bristol, reported yesterday, was an engage- a
ment between parts of the two armies: It k
is reported that but for some deserters go- si
ing over to the enemy and giving informa- p
tion that our forces here had commenced n
moving, we should have aohioved a more G
substantial success. o

Lynohbubg, Oct. 16.?The Virginian 1
has the following from East Tennessee:?
Before the battle of Ohiokamauga, on the 1
29th, several regiments of Yankee cavalry
and mounted infantry, estimated at 4,000, ;
passed Greenville, Tenn., bound eastward, .
evidently on a raid on the Virginia and
Tennessee Railroad. Upon receiving intelligenoe
of the defeat at Ohiokamauga,
they retreated West to reinforoe Roseneranz,
bat were met by our forces, near
London and Sweet Water and driven baok.
A. portion of this force attacked our foroes
at Bible Ridge, six miles West of Greeneille,
on Saturday, the 10th. Our men
fought gallantly, defeating and inflioting>
severe loss on the enemy. Onr loss in the'
engagement was fifty killed and abont 200
wounded. Apprehending a flank move-,
ment, our forces withdrew to Henderson.
Another engagement took plaoe there and
it Richtown, on Sunday, in which onr
forces fought desperately, clearing their
way through four regiments of the enemy,
who were supported by artillery, whioh had
moceded in reaching our rear. Our men
fell back to Zollicoffer, until the Yankees,
heavily reinforced, advanced upon them,
when they were withdrawn to Bristol.?
C)ur loss on both days fight is estimated at
B00 killed and wounded. Numbers of our
wounded fell into the hands of the enemy.

from every State in the Coufede- 1
racy, your steps have been followed with
affectionate -solicitude by oar' frieads ia
every portion cf the coabtry. Defenders
of the hearts of onr territory, your move- <
merits have been objeota of interest and 1
anxiety. The success of oar cause depends
apon yoa, and happy it is that all can rely
upon what yoa havb^fihieyed, where, an- ^
der the blessings of Providence, yoa have c
accomplished all that freemen can effeot.?
Though yon have done much, very mnoh
remains to be done. Behind yon is a people
providing for yonr-snpport and depend- ?
ing upon yon for protection.' Before yon is
a country devastated by your ruthless inva- J
ders, where gentle women, feeble age, and 1
hopeless infency' have . been subjected to ?
outrages without a parallel in. the. annals of
Warfare among civilized nations. With .
aager eyes they watch for your coming for
ihoir deliverance, and homeless refugees
pant for yon when your victorious arms
shall restore a family shelter which they
save been driven from. Forced to take up
inns to vindicate yonr political rights,- your
freedom, equality and State sovereignty/
vhioh were the portions purchased by the
jlood of your revolutionary sires; yon have
out one alternative, slavery and submission .
<o a despot. Use every exertion for independence,
which a vigorons, united and per- (
datont effort will seoaro. All that fires the
nanly breast of the patriot exists here, and
a preaenfctc'stimhiateyoa. Nobly have yon t
redeemed the promise of giving names to
reedom to carry to your ancestors, and
rights to your posterity. That you may .
jomplete the missiou whioh upon yon defends,
will require your successful efforts
n future as you have made it in the past,
>y continued patience, enduranoe, toil and
langer, by that self-denial which rejects
jvery consideration at variance with the
jublio service as unworthy the holy cause
n which you are engaged. When the war
ihall be ended the highest meed of praise
will be due, and probably given him who
ias claimed the least for himself in proporion
to the servioe he has rendered, and the "
litterest self reproach whioh may hereafter
lannt the memory of every one, will be to c
lim that he has allowed selfishness and ap- ?
jrehension f,o prevail over his desire for the u
rablio good. United as in Common desti- 1
ly, obedience and oordial co-operation are &
:sscntially neoessary. There is no higher ?
