Mr. -Edaor--P Presenting that your many readers
are anxious to hear from COL seott's command, l
herewith drop you few lines in detail of the
and actions connected with the regiment. :" ga"
There are at present located here in the bar
racks four well-mounted and equipped companies,
awaiting orders to march to Yankeedom. The
following is list of the companies Capt. Jack
Taylor, of East Baton Rouge; Capt. Gus Scott, of
West Felciana Capt. Feuelon Cannon's Creole
Chargers, of AVoyelles and Capt. Campbell
These companies have been stationed here some
ak or eight weeks, undergoing strict military dis
cipline, twice every day, and venture to say they
service of the Confsderacy.
Our brave and chivalrous Lieutenant Colonel
j. 0. Nixon, read our marching orders from head
quarters, last evening, in soIdierlike manner, to
leave on board the steamers Yicksburg and Mag
nolia next Friday. As tie orders were issued from
his lips, the eyes of every soldier present seemed
to flash sparks of fire, and smiles of contentment
played over their features. rs
They are on the eve of leaving for Yankeedom,
where they expect to take hand with the Yam
KEGS in the game, and that at an early day and if
there is any virtue in pluck, ! venture to say the
boys will turn Jack on them at every deal. One
thing certain, we will suffer no foul play
Owing to bad health, Col. Scott has been con-
fined in bed at his residence here for ten or fifteen
days, but am credibly informed that he will be
with us in a few days. The thanks Of captains are
greatly due to the citizens Of Baton Rouge and

!. TALK ON CHANGE.

The tags yesterday were partially deserted,
General lethargy seemed to have full control
scarcely o corporaFs guard could be conyoked,
Notwithstanding the very fine weather. Of course,
twas talked of that vessel from England had ar
rived at some Confederate port. AS we consider it
wise policy to pursue a course of reticence on
movements for the Confederate Government, we
do not allude to them. Yesterday the public were
informed that Q vessel from England had arrived at
some Confederate port, loaded with What it is un-
necessary for US to, say. Tomorrow the informa-
ton will, without doubt be on board of the block
aders off Ship Island and the mouths of the river.
What will be the result? a stricter watch and
more extended division of the feet will follow,
simply because theywill have information through
the public prints which will cause stricter atten-
ton to the blockade service. There was enough
said about the running Of the blockade by the
steamer which conveyed Messrs. Slidell and Mason
to Cuba. NJ i4 ss

Ed. Crescent | wish to state, through the
columns Of your journal, the following facts: Mr..
Bruce Putnam acted for some months as Sergeant
Major Of my Battalion. After the battle of Man
assas, where he distinguished himself, he was
elected Second Lieutenant of Company F, in my
command. On the resignation of its Captain,
Hanna, Lieutenant Putnam went to New Orleans
to recruit having the understanding with the other
officers of the company that they would support
him in his election as Captain. However, the ex-
licences of the service, and the weEbeing of the
men, in presence of the enemy, compelled the Of
ficers and men to elect another officer as their
Captain; and Lieut.. Putnam, on his return to my
command, gracefully acceded to their wishes, and
is now in daily performance Of his duty with my
Battalion, at Centrevlle.
