y We are tonight III Colonel Matt. Martins
Regiment at the Double Spring camp on Bar
enlriver, where the truest of the true and
braTest Of the brave of Tenhessee's gallant
sons are eneamped. Ne features strike the
casual observer more forcibly than the famil-
lar footing of the officers and privates while,
off duty, and the perfect discipline while go
ing through their various drills and evolu-
lions The boys are brave aslSpartans and
will soon spoil if they don't get the privilege

upo We saw the piekets go out this morning IN
theirain, and those relieved return, and from
theienthusiasm of each party we could not
decide which had been On duty. Rain, snow
or sunshine seems not to affect them. They
arel'..made Of the heart of live oak, and have
but one motive in view-the protection of
our homes from Northern Yandsls and the
independence of the South God protect
those brave, daring spirits They are uncon-
| querable, aud the honor of Tennessee is safe
in their keeping. Their Colonel, MATT. MAR
TIN, is one of those full blown flowers of
Southern chivalry, whose strongest impulses
are those of Kindness, generosity, courage and
honor. r =. ~ -. - ass. -, 5- =

Thompson, is the. best arranged and most
comfortable of any we have seen in all the
camps; the patients are doing finely, and are
as well cared for as they could be outside
their own houses. Too much credit cannot

| Col. s. S. Stanton, of the 25th Regiment of
! Tennessee Volunteers, reached here last night
after a most successful scouting expedition,
4 IN which he broke up number of the enc
my's camps on the border. His first move was
F on Albany, where he drove 5000 Federals,
] with two pieces of artillery and 200 cavalry,
1 from their camp, taking sixty guns and a
| considerable amount of ammunition. His next
move was on Camp Fraim in Monroe county,
where he found the enemy about 1000 strong,
and at once made an attack. A regular Lees
burg stampede followed, and the Federals
made better than double-quick, leaving their
half cooked meal still smoking over their
fres.fo BIO IL -s-'l - .'-''i e,
Here he got several pigs of lead, 20 stand
of arms, and six prisoners, some of whom at
against those whom, they allege grossly de-
ceived them. The entire camp, with the
.breastworks, was destroyed, and while it was
| burning considerable amount of gunpowder
exploded. The property of Mr.. Fraim, whose
! name the camp bore, and a Lincolnite, was
sacredlS respected, and left undisturbed.--
! Mud Camps, in Cum berland county, IA miles
from BnrkesVille, next claimed their attention.
There skirmish took place between our adj
vance guard and the enemy's pickets, in
which several of the enemy were wounded.
! The Federal force here amounted to between
400 and 500 men, armed with muskets and
Sharp's Rifles, number of which, with three
4 prisoners and a captains uniform cap and
side arms, were taken. Captain Williams
! Federal was found after the rout in neigh
i boring house badly wounded TOO much so
to take away as prisoner. The retreating
Federals ran toward BarkesFiIle. where the
main force was stationed, and gave them the
alarm, which caused another panic. The
force at Burkesville was 200 strong, con-
sisting of one regiment, of infantry and a
large company of cavalry, under the COM
mand of Col. Hazard. On the arrival of
] Col. Stanton the camp was almost deserted,
butsa large amount of camp iequipage was
left on the ground. This place was also
burned, but the private property of Col. Haz-
1 card, including his large tobacco house, was
protected and left undisturbed. About 20
stand of arms and several prisoners. with a
considerable amount of camp fixtures. were
/ taken at this point. The day following, the
senemy appeared on the opposite side of the
river from Burkesylle, but were driven away
The day after Col. Stanton drove the FEEDER
ais away, was the one on which the Home
4 Guard was to have been sworn into the SER
vice and have general muster, bat this, of
course, did not take place. However, q
meeting of the citizens was held, and Col.
Stanton explained the purpose of his mis-
sion to them, which had most happy effect,
and wasAreceived by the people with the
most enthusiastic cheers, and as soon as they
discovered that our troops had gone there to
| nrofect them from Lincoln despotism and
