We take much pleasure in fully indorsing the
& object of the following Communication. Col.
GLADDEN. has for months past been dscharging
the duties Of u Brigadier- General, and his pro-
/ motion to That rank would be but an act of
Justice, while we feel assured that he would honor
the position quite as much AZ the rank would
honor him
sss Ed grescent-I In looking over the lists of APP
Bpointments and rumors Of promotion in the Con-
4 federate Army, the attention Of the writer has
Il been arrested by the absence therefrom of the
name OF Col. a. H. GLADDEN.. And whilst denying
any intent to reflect improperly upon this appar-
4 emit neglect yet earnestly do hope to provoke
some action upon the part of the Influential friends
sef this gallant soldierby which claims, certainly
paramount to those Of more fortunate ones; could
be represented 70 the proper department.
s At is, perhaps, not generally known that Col
Gladden. who BY dint of actual service secured
this grade decliased fitting appointment from his
native State of South Carolina Id order that Eunsi3
d ana, the home OF his adoption might receive his
# willing services. And now, although among the
very first to volunteer when our State was called
npon, We atill find him earnestly performing his
irlEsonle duty ofswatching Piekens, whilst others
are not only gaining laurels but rapid promotion
z In more active service. ~
Believing that little exertion on the part Of the
Coloneis Influential friends, (of whom deem YOU
z one) would be but paying proper tribute to
worthy and noble officer, and ensure to him what
4 every good soldiersaiIns at-promotion. O..

EDIToR JoURNAL:-Thinking that few lines
from this place, giving some information in re.
gard to Capt. Crowell's company, would be sat.
sfactory to the friends of the volunteers, 1 take
the liberty of asking for a small space in youl
valuable paper for this letter,
Our trip to this place was pleasant, with the
exception of being compelled to lay over sever
hours at Shelby. We arrived at the latter place
at o'clock in the morning and had to remain
there until o'clock in the afternoon. Capt
Crowell marched our company into grove
owned by Mr.. Cummings near the depot
which we named Camp Cummings in honor Of
the patriotic and gentlemanly proprietor. We
placed sentinels around the camp, and made
preparations at the proper hour for dinner. The
whole-souled citizens of Shelby urged us to
partake of dinner at their expense, but having
a sufficient quanty of provisions of our own
We were compelled to decline their proffcred
hospitality. We however accepted of two casks
of beer, which added very much to the enjoy
ment of the repast.
While there one of our men undertook to de-
sert, but he was soon caught and brought back
Christopher Thorn, known by the boys as
"Friday," one of our men, while wrestling, fell
with his breast on a small stump, and for time
we thought he would die. He finally revived
but we were compelled to leave him behind
where he was properly taken care of. In few
days he so far recovered as to join us here and
will soon be entirely well.
When we were ready to leave camp, the Shell
by Independent Company conducted us to the
depot, where large crowd of people had as
sembled TO see us off. Speeches were made by
Mr.. Chance and others. We left the depot al
o'clock and arrived in Columbus at g. and i'm
mediately set out for Camp Chase, (then called
Camp Jackson,) where we arrived at 10 o'clock
The following named persons have been ap-
pointed officers in our Company: lst Orderly
Sergeant Biggerstaff; ID, c. Ladd; Sd, c. Ran
dell; 4th, d. H. Holcomb. lst Corporal, L. II.
Bowlus; 3D. Cyrus odell; Sd, John A. Stump;
4th, Howard Carman; 5th VIM. Herring; 9th,
D. Hubbell; 7th, 1. CLARK; 9Th, Jacob D. Thomas.
We have no idea how long we shall stay here,
but trust that we shall be placed in active SER
vice soon.
Capt. Crowell and Lieutenants Bowlus and
Hale are in good health, as are also the men with
the exception of cases of measles.
wish you would send me your paper, as /
am lost without ii, and before we leave camp l
will send you the money. d. H.
