There appears to be disposition at head

CAMP MAKER, MANASSAS JUNCTION.
July 4th, 1861.
Mr. j. T. BoswoRrH.-Sir According to
promise pen you few lines, relative to our
Regiment, Company, &c. Owing to my un-
pleasant situation, and want of time, you
must be content with but few lines, for TIE
present The health of our regiment is very
good and noticed on yesterday evening, at
the battalion drill, our regiment turn ont
much larger force than any regiment in this
brigade. Our brigade consists of the ] 7th
and 18th Mississippi regiments and Col. Jen-
kins South Carolina regiment; the brigade is
commanded by Brigadier Gen. Jones, of Ga.
1t is said Gen. Jones has seen twenty years
service in the regular army, and man of
much ability. He was in our camp this morn
ing, aud can say was very much pleased
with his appcaranee,-he is fine looking
man and possesses quite soidiery bearing.
1t is said the Washington Artillery was at
tached to our brigade but refused to serve in
any brigade. The Mississirrians and South
Carolinians, being put in the same brigade
and commanded by an experienced officer, if
there is any hot work to be deac you will
hear that orr brigade was called upon.
On the 23d last month, about two o'clock
in the morning, our pickets captured federal
officer and two privates, few miles from
here, and horseman galloped in our camp
reporting the enemy within a few miles of
us. The men were aroused from their slum-
bers by the cry of to arms to arms =
Ammunition was Immediately distributed
smong them and it was astonishing with
what promptness they took their position in
ranks, each and every one looking cool, calm
and determined, although they We're sudden
70 aroused in the night, not dreaming
envy was near them; not man failed TO be
at his post The alarm proved to be false
one, originated from some scouts of ours fir
ing upon some men they suppose intended to
burn a bridge on the rail road, neaz this
camp.
There is some little sickness in the Confed-
crates, some one or two have the measles.
The boys are in excellent spirits, look very
cheerful and have become entirely reconciled
so all the hardships attending camp life.
The thousand reports of fights and skirmishes
that find its way in camp, render them a
little impatient and restless Phey are aRN-
ious for the order to prepare for advance.
they sometimes express desire to return
to their kenses, but not until they en-

we will advance, but think, from the number
of troops that have advanced to Fairfax, we
will soon strike our tents and move forward, /
and when the Confederates meet the enemy
YOU will hear good account of them ] have
not time at present to giveyou any incidents
of our camp life.

ES Tie news from Missouri


E& Tie news from Missouri is certain

patches during the war have proved so mn

intelligence from that quarter, favorable or

and distrust. Fort Scott, the Mace at
which the Herald, whence the telegraphic
operator at Kansas City procured the news.
Is published, is in Kansas, close to the Mis-
souri, line and about 100 miles South Of
Kansas City. That town and the TELEGRAPH,
there are IN the hands of the enemy. and
would scarcely seem supposable that they
would baselessly make their communica
tons media for chronicling Southern yicto-
RES 1T Is neither impossible that an en-
gagement may have taken place in the
quarter indicated, lut with such results as
reported is doubtful. 1t woald be cratifv-
