We don't see so much of the movements of
regiments in the newspapers. as before the
Manassas expedition. Ii will probably do
no harm. however. to say, that four first-class
three years regiments reached Washington
IN day this week.-Cfncianafi Commercial.
And il will probably edo no HARM to say
also that the army about w ashington and on
the Potomac has now reached wonderful pro-
portions. in respect to both numbers and war
like efficiency-that artillery is being gath
cred there, the extent and formidable charac-
ter of which would amaze the unmilitary OBJ
server-and that the preparations. now vigo-
rously in progress. for the next forward
movement upon the swarms of hived rebels
In Virginia, can be best expressed by the
one simple word-sfupeRdous.
The next "great forward movement" will
be like a tearing aud sweeping avalanche,
startling the world. The preparations, un-
der the vigilant, judicious and dilligent su-
pervision of Gen. Mcclellan, are going on
quietly but vigorously. We hear but little
of them, for prudential reasons-but the
country may rest assured that they are of a
magnitude that is entirely commensurate
with the demands OF the occasion and circum-
siances.-CHieago Journal 7lh.
But Messieurs of the Journal, you do not
say whether an additional supply of courage
has been recruited-that is an essential great
ly needed in the Vandal army, and without
which, stnpendons" preparations are vain

Mrs, General Gaine..

The veracious reporters of events in Wash
ington having .elegraphed North that this
highly respected lady had returned from q
visit to the South, with her sympathies and
opinions in behalf of the Confederates COM
pletely revolutiouized, she has come out in
the following fearless style under the very
shadow of the Chimpanzee Government
WASHINGTON, ID. G, Aug IL, 1861.
To The Editors of the Baltimore Exchange:
My attention has recently been called to
several newspaper notices. in reference to
my late visit South, wherein am made to
give utterance to certain opinions with re-
gard to the state of things there.
DEFINING it due to truth, the South, and to
myself. l unhesitatingly deny all such state
ments, and ask of you place in your paper
for this prompt and uuequivocal denial. So
far from saying, as reported, am forced 10 add,
that the reverse is the truth, to wit: that l
never saw so united a people, or a more reso-
lutte and determined a soldiery, and that, so
far as | saw or heard, had no doubt but
they would stand by their opinion TO the last,
and would sooner perish than be subdued.
These were the sentiments that met me every
,chere through my journey South, as / frankly
stated to my friends since my arrival here, in
answer to their questions.
Very respectfully,
MYRA CLARK GAINES.

q word with the People I'm behalf of
the Soldier.

The people of Tennessee have some twenty
five thousand neighbors, friends and reia-
tions in the field fighting for them and their
firesides and for the principles oil eohstitu-
tIonal freedom. They entered the service ior
twelve months, and will not return 10 giad-
den their homes, before next May, or jane'
or July. or August. They will have to stand
the Winter Campaign in Missouri, or Viz
oinia. or wherever else they may be ordered.
In view of this fact our public authorities
have called upon the people to furnish for
them suitable clothing for the winter-biank-
ets and wooden clothes. Even the Generals
commanding have united their voices in this
call. We now add OUTS, and beg leave to
state some facts which should secure an i'm
mediate response.
In the first place, the measures which have
been adopted by our enemies, of non-inter-
course with the North, and blockading our
sea coast, which are temporarily. at least
effective or sufficiently so to make the Scuth
selfreliant, have thrown upon US the neces-
sitY of providing subsistence and clothing
and all necessary supplies for our soldiers
This must be done.
In the second place, the authorities of the
Confederate States, foreseeing this result,
and distressing their ability to meet the de-
mand, adopted regulation, whereby the
soldiers were to receive a Communication In
money, instead of clothing. In other words,
the Confederate States set apart a sum to be
raid to the soldier in lieu of clothing.
In the third place, the soldier is abroad
from home in actual service, and cannot pos
sibIy leave that service to go around, buy
the material and have it made up and for
warded Somebody must do 1t for him. or he
must suffer for the want OF it, or our army
must be disbanded. The army cannot be
disbanded, if we desire to prosecute the war
successfully, and to achieve our indepen-
dence and liberty. To this all are agreed.
Such are the facts. aud they make the ne
eessity absolute upon the people to act i'm
mediately. Winter is rapidly approaching
already the chill blasts of autumn are sweep
ing along the mountains and hills OF Viz
GINA and Missouri, while many hundreds and
THOUSANDS of our brave young men are
scantiIy clad. 1t will so continue unless our
people at home come up to the demands of
the occasion, and furnish them with the
needed supplies. Can and will this be done?
is the only question. 1t can, we know
Whether it will, depends upon the families
and heads of families of the State.
Appropriations have been made for these
purposes, and the money ought to be applied
to these purposes. Whether it is or not, We
are satisfied that the people of Tennessee will
not permit their soldiers to suffer. They
will come up, an masss, to the demands of the
occasion the Legislature will, as their
agent, see that proper compensation is made
to all who furnish these necessary articles to
our brave and selfsacrifcing men in the
field, who may desire it. Let therefore all
our resources be put forth to supply this
pressing demand. The soldier must be sus-
tanned.

/ Rrioadirr General ANDERSON publishes the
following appeal on behalf of the Tennessee
troops composing his brigade, now on service
in Western Virginia. In similar appeal,
made by citizens of Charleston to the people
Of South Carolina, urging the immediate pre-
paration of Clothing for the volunteers OF
that State, it is stated that the Government of
The Confederate States requires each State TO eiothe
its volunteers, s0ho may be IN the service Of that
GoUennaent. This being the case, the people
of Tennessee will see the necessity for the
proclamation of the Governor to the women
of the State on the subject of clothing. We
trust THAT there will be no delay in the man
ufacture of goods and clothing for the SOL
| the call of their country. and are hazarding
heir lives in defence of our rights. Let us
see that they do not suffer from want of pro-
per food and clothing.
To the Friends and Rslqtiues of the First, he Sen
ezth, and Fourteenth Regiments, Captain H1yt's
hadepsadena Rife Company, and Capt. Alerus-
d.r's Rangers, Composing First Brigade Of Ten
Kessee Volunteers EB Virginia.
The near approach of the cold season in the
mountains, admonishes US that preparations
should be made against the rigors and hard
ships of winter campaign. And whilst it
is not doubted that the Confederate States
will amply meet all our wants, yet the work
of preparing supplies for the large armies
now in the field, is no ordinary one, and liber.
al contributions from PATRIOTIC citizens,
would tend much TO relieve the Government.
Each soldier now here will require from two
to three pair of stout wOollen socks, two pair
wOolIen drawers, one heavy coat (rounabouD
one over-coat, two blankets or yarn coverlids,
woollen gloves, two flannel shirts, two pair
heavy pants, heavy pair of shoes or boots
aud one felt or wool hat. Many If not all
of these articles for your own boys you can
supply. 1 make no appeal to your affection,
or your patriotic feeling, to do so. A state
ment of their probable wants is sufficient to
secure your efforts to the extent of your abil-
ity to supply, and have therefore to suggest
solely that you send to the care of Col.
sTEvENsoN, at Nashville, such supplies as
you can furnish, by the 10th of September,
designating for what regiment or company
they are intended, who will ship them to the
Qnartermasters of the Regiment at their To-
cation at the time of shipment.
To the general good health, soldiery con-
duct and patriotism of the officers and pri- |
Yates of this brigade, it affords me pleasure |
to convey willing and favorable testimony. |
Rest assured that they will bring back TO |
you honor upon their shields.

Our city was thrown into great excitement
Yesterday, by the unheralded and unexpected
arrival of Rousseauis Brigade, f rom their
eneampment at Jacksonville. Their recep-
tion was by no means hattering-shouts for
Jeff. Davis, greeting them all along the en-
tire line of their march. The prevailing sem
timent, so far as we could learn of moderate
Unionists as well as Southern Rights men.
was of deep Indignation, that Lincoln's SOL
diers shonld dare tread the soil of Kentucky.
We are reliably informed that the brigade
marched our streets Nth loaded guns.
We understand that the brigade leaves JEFF

The Battle OF Oak HiII-Further In.
telligence.

Col. James Mcintosh, who commanded the
second Arkansas regiment of Mounted Rife
men at the battle of Oak Hill on the 10th
inst. arrived in the city on yesterday en- route
for Richmond, bearing dispatches from Gen.
Mccullough to President Davis.
The Colonel, having left Springfield on the
18th inst, furnishes US some reliable informa-
ton in reference to that victory, which cor
rects many false impressions that are preva-
lent throughout the country.
The force OF the enemy engaged in the con-
hict, he represents at between nine aud ten
thousand strong, which we think is quite
probable, Notwithstanding the statement of
Gen. Fremont, that they reached only eiyh
thousand.
Our whole force under both Mccullough
| and Price, he positively asserts, was only
$4,000. OF whom 300 were infantry, the
remainder cavalry; and at no time were
| more than 5000 of our troops engaged in the
| fight.
The Missouri infantry fought gallantly, on
ly few OF their cavalry showing the white
feather, and, as the Yankees say, making a
"masterly retreat" from the field of conflict.
Col. Mcintosh says that Gen. McCulIou CHS
command remained in their position on VIII
sons creek three or four days before the bat
tie, with the view of ascertaining the force of
the enemy, which was exceedingly dificalt.
| as the people within the vicinity seemed to
| sympathize with the Hessians and were very
chary about giving information in regard to
army matters. Ga the same night that the
attack WAS made by Lyon, cur forces had re-
ceiyed orders to march. but having no suita-
BILE cartridge boxes to protect their ammuni-
ton from the rain which Unexpectedly came
| upon them, they were forced to postpone the
movement The impression among our Of
| fcers seemed to be that the attack Of the enc
my was more fortunate than otherwise, since
in the event they had been on the defensive
our loss would have been probably double
what it was.
Col. Mcintosh thinks that the federal loss
| is larger than what their accounts represent,
and states that he himself counted one hum
dred and Fifty Of their dead on the field the
day after the battle.
From the details stated by him in reference
to this victory, we deem it, II possible more
giofious and complete than at first repre-
sented--A1sPhis Appeal, 24fA.

fg Had Hannibal, Immediately after the
battle of CauEa, marched to the gates of
Rome, he would have found the city in con-
sternation, and his entrance, if not unob-
structed, would have been entirely easy. But
he chose to cross over to Capua, and when he
approached the walls of the city he was in
formed that the piece of ground on which his
army was encamped was selling in the Ro-
man forum at the highest prices. He was
driven away, and out Of Italy History
often repeats itself. Let Us beware that our
own times do not furnish parallel.
