From, Gen. unrIce's Column.

The latest intelligence we have seen from the
command of Gen. Hardee is contained in the fol.
lowing extracts from letter dated Camp Hardee
September 8th, which we find in the Little Rock
Gazette
Well, we are again stationed at this place. The
whole Of Gen. Hardee's command, except Col.
Borand's cavalry has fallen back within the limits
of Arkansas. The two detachmenis of Col. Bor-
lands cavalry are stationed, one at Donphan and
the other at Ponder's Mill, Mo. Hardee's back
ward movement has given rise to a 'f thousand and
one coniectures.' 1t is amusing to listen to the
various reasons assigned by officers and privates
pretending to be wiser than the " worshippers at
the shrine of Mars" may be allowed to express
an opinion at least, as to the of the present
position of the arny-like Others however, who
venture to speculate upon movements which they
do not understand may be in error. Greenve
Mo-, the point occupied by Gen. Hardee for some
time past, is rather poor place for subsstiug an
army of any magnitude. This, with the results of
a want of harmony in the movements of Gems.
Pillow and Thompson, so as to have rendered Gen.
Hardee's advance safe and effective, are, think
the main reasons for his falling back. Who is to
blame for this want of concerts a question which
I shall not pretend to decide may say, however,
with safety, that Gen. Hardee is blameless in the
whole maIter--indeed, the other distinguished Of
fcials rarned may likewise be bameless.
Camp troubles are becoming less frequent as the
officers and soldiers learn more of Gen. Hardee's
manner of doing things. All things considered,
this army is pretty we'll organized and prepared
for efficient service. Gen. HaTdee is very industri.
GUS, and is constantly gaining upon the confidence
and affection Of the army. ..@

THB CAPTIVE.

These lines were written on reading the follow
ing statement in your paper:
entenan, A. G. Hudgis of the Confederate steamer Sum
long"
Within dungeons narrow cell,
Where sunlight never, Pickering, fell,
TO cheer the captive in his gloom,
Or wake him in his living tomb,
a man is bowed, with dropping limb,
With pallid brow, and eye all dim
The sunkep cheek, the wasted form,
Tell OF wreck without storm! If
By slow degrees the cankering rust
Is gnawing at his heart, that must
Succumb at last, as slowly creep
Life's currents in those dungeons deep.
Upon his brow the cold drops stand,
As dreaming Of his native land
He groans aloud, then grasps the air,
Deeming his trusty sword blade there
That manly heart is signing still
For one sweet face, for tones that thrill
Through every fibre of his frame,
As memory strikes her lutte again.
And now he hears upon the floor,
As erst he heard in days of yore,
The light, quick step of infant feet,
And kisses soft his pale lips greet.
He stretches forth his wasted arm
To grasp the beauteous forms that charm
His aching heart, when 10 they fade
As shadows by the light clouds made.
He weeps the warrior brave and bold,
And sighs for death within that hold
Where cruel hate and fiendish pride
Our noble hearts triumphant ride.
And shall he die, that patriot grand
For fighting bravely for his land?
No! tremble, tyrant, in thy pride,
The South is laundering by thy side.
Thy Capitol is reeling now,
Thy stately halls shall lowly bow,
Thy prison walls shall open wide,
The captive shall embrace his bride,
Bay st. Louis Sept. l6, 1851.

Misrepresentation.

The Raleigh Standard, referring TO the statement
in relation to the citizens of Hyde county, in that
State, going over to Lincoln in such numbers upon
the surrender of Hatteras, says:
1t is doubtless true that quite number over
200 of the people living the banks contiguous to
Hatteras, have taken the oath to support Lin
coins Government. But if the public knew all
their surroundings. and what hi11iot people they
are, it would surprise them that al did not take it,.

the want of MEANS and if they did they Must leave
