Letter from Virginia.

CAMPsBA AToN. SD ARK, REGIMENT NoL., /PocAHoNTAs COUNTY, VA, Sept. 3, 1861. Editors of the AUalanche:
 The object of this communication is to lay before the loyal citizens Of the Confederate States of America one of the most unJustlhble cases of desertion that has occurred since the flag of our common country was untured to the breezes of heaven. On the lst day of July last, Capt. Joseph D. Johnston,o of Ashley county Arkansas, left said county with volunteer company of sixty men, rank and tle Among the number was young man, heretofore of un- peachable character-by name, Thomas S Stillwell-he (Stillwell was elected second lieutenant by unanimous vote. The company, took shipping on board the Victoria at Gaines Landing, for Memphis, (the confederacy defray- ing the expenses.) In Memphis the company remained one week-being furnished with sup plies by the government-at which place some dissatisfaction arose in the company in relation to the naughty course pursued by said Stillwell to the privates of the company. Stllwell mounted the stump and affirmed upon his most sacred honor as a man, calling on High Heaven to witness the truth of his assertions, to wit: He came to fight his countrys battles for his country's good, not for the petty office of the second lieutenancy; that he wished the com pany to have reelection, and if they thought him unworthy the office he held, to cast their votes for another, and upon his sacred honor as a son of the south, he would shoulder his musket and fight, yea pour out the last drop of his hearts blood, by their sides as a common soldier.
 Our gallant Captain immediately ordered an election for lst lieutenant-Stillwel ran with out any opposition, and received every vote in the company. Some two days subsequent, we received orders to take the cars for Lynchburg, Virginia, from Col. Rust. We did so, and upon our arrival at Corinth, Miss, Stillwell applied to Capt. Christian for forlough to remain two days in the vicinity of that place for the pur- pose of visiting an uncle, who resided near by. Capt Christian compiled. Stwell, previous to leaving the cars, borrowed money from mem bers of the company, telling them that he would refund, upon his arrival at Lynchburg The men from whom he borrowed money are poor and had labored hard to get small sums to pur- chase clothing or uniforms for themselves, (the government not furnishing clothing.) Still we'll has returnedsto his home in Arkansas, and deserted the army. And 1 have reported him as a deserter to the secretary of war of the Confederate States. He had Transportation, as before stated, from Gaines Landing to Mem phis, supplies in Memphis, and transportation from there to Corinth, at the expense ofthe Con- federate States.
