The Hardships the Boys Encoun
tered.

iue IicumODu enquirer Vi Tue ZSlu says
We have seen a letter writ ten to his par
ents in this city, by one of our gallant sol
diers in the late battle. His command were
not engaged in the furious scenes upon our
left flank, but had perhaps almost as severe
trial in being exposed to an energetic fire
from the enemy's batteries without the sus-
tanning excitement OF retnrning it. The fol-
lowing extract will indicate what privations
and hardships tie exigencies of battle some
times require soldiers to undergo, and how
they are not only able to endure them but
thrive under them:
About 6. P. NJ, our brigade started in
pursuit. What scene the road presented,
Lift rally strewn with everything. At IL last
night we returned, broken down. to this point
tor food and water. We have received no ra-
tioLs for three days and slept almost none for
five. Yesterday we got nothing to eat until
IL o'clock at night--neither breakfast nor
dinner. The battle begun just as we were
about getting some breakfast, and we had
no time from then until IL at night to eat
anything. The same thing occurred day be-
fore yesterday-ali day without anything to
eat. We had no blankets or anything except
our accoutrements, and yet slept in the
open field. OF course we were ringing wet
next morning. Two nights ago it rsined
hard--we laid like pigs and took it. Strange
to say keep in better health than at home.
We ford rivers waist deep-eat almost moth
ing, drink muddy creek wafer, and sleep nat
in an old field, without any covering what
ever, and yet have but two men who COM
plain of being sick. Isn't that stranger
"Last night we slept splendidly. Yester-
day evening when ordered to cease from the
pursuit, we got permission TO appropriate
some of the useful things left by the enemy.
Every man OF our brigade came back with
an India rubber cloth containing blankets,
socks, tobacco, &c. We also brought over
Quantities of coffee, sugar, tobacco, and a
Thousand other things. So last night and
this morning we had good time"

Look TO your rickets.

We would caution the true friends OF
Southern Independence to examine their
tick is closely to day. This is necessary, be
cause great variety of tickets have been
printed. some of them evidently Intended TO
deceive voters, if possible, and to give the
enemies of the cause an opportunity to re-
lice over what they have accomplished IN
D,vidson. Not content with the propagation
of the most unmitigated falsehoods, with
view to weaken the more prominent and &C
tive supporters of Separation and Indepen-
dence who are candidates, the contrlvers OF
these tickets manifest willingness to 1nJure
them more seriously, if possible, by tricklng
voters out of the expression of their honest
preferences Do not permit them to succeed
Read over your ticket before you vote it, and
500 that II contains the names of the men you
wish to vote for. A desperate but vain at
tempt is being made to defeat Ira P. JONES,
ESQ. and thus punish him aud the PATRIOT
for daring to cast aside party prejudices and
,raferences and support IsHAN G. HARRIS for
Governor; and enemies of his have gone so
far as to print a combination of tickets with
the name of HARRIS at fhe head, and leaving
off the name of Mr.. JONES entirely hoping by
this means to perpetrate fraud upon friends
of the Governor, and if they can succeed in
defeating Mr.. JONES, to have it heralded
abroad that the people of Nashville and Da-
wilson County condemn the PATRIOT for the
independent course which it has pursued. We
like fairness, manliness, and honesty, and
will stand by these be the consequences what
they may. We feel that the people of Da-
vfdson County, the true friends of Southern
Ind-pendencs, at least, will stand by them,
also, and rebuke, with becoming scOrn, in
trigues and tricks of every character.
We have written the above and print il
without the knowledge of our associate. We
are led to do it by the great respect we have
for hun as a gentleman too honest and fair
minded to resort to the paltry tricks of tn
electioneerer. and by our knowledge OF his
great mental and moral worth. An association
with him intimately for upwards OF four years
has given Us an opportuni y to prove bis high
qualities of head and heart, and wesay it can
didIy and sincerely that there does not
breathe a man more entitled to the confidence
and esteem of his fellOE-men.

The Enemy,s Prospects RIishted.

The grand victory near Manassa was over
the regulars and picked men of the Northern
army. Our volunteers encountered the en-
envy in his utmost strength, and possessed of
every advantage he could ask. We did not
fight behind entrenchments-it was an open
field fight. The enemy had not only their
best men, but where the fight ragged they had
more than Two to our one. They had there
also not only great preponderance of artil-
lery, but it was composed of their choicest
and best trained batteries, the pride of their
whole army. Their soldiers also fought
bravely. For Ten hours they wrestled with
our heroes over the hills and ravines of the
battle ground, and until the field was piled
with their dead bodies, before they yielded
to our superior proves. 1t was by no acct
dent that we won the battle none of those
unforeseen and unavoidable casualties that
sometimes determine the fortunes of fight
1t was by honest, hard fair and square fight,
ing in clear field, that we triumphed. What
toom does such a defeat leave for hope to
rhe enemy? If his best men and his best
batteries, and in double numbers, have been
whipped in open fight by our thrice gallant
soldiers-what can they hope now that all
these are gone? Their regulars are destroy
ed. Their batteries are ours. There trained
artillerymen have been cut down. Their
grand army has been dispersed like mist, and

though in twice outnumbering force, were
not able to win? Will they rush forward to

The Northern army will heneeforth meet
ours not only under these great comparative
disadvantages, but the prestige of success in

anticipations of defeat will cast their shadow
over the ranks of our enemies

YANKEE CoURAGE.-The Washington Re

GRATED great deal of excitement on the
streets, in fact at the Treasury, the crowd
gathered around and threatened to hang
them, and were so elemorous that it was
thought best to place them in the guard
house of the Treasury until the excitement
was abated. As they passed Wizards the
excitement was very great. One gentleman
pushed bis way through the crowd and dealt
one of the prisoners powerful blow, nearly
knocking him down."
If that was 50 gentleman who struck
the captive, what sort of beings are Yankee

up regiment and go over to Virginia and
assault Southern men where they have a
chance to defend themselves.

For the Daily Patriot.


MEssRs. EDITORS There are some peculiar
phases attending the present most upright
eous war, waged by the North and the
Northwest against the South. The aqgressions
and graspugs of the North have long been
submitted to by the South. The warm feel
iugs of tens of thousands in favor OF the
Union, caused many at the South vainly to
hope for compromise and settlement and being
offered, were not accepted in good faith oy
the North Fanaticism had become rampant
North.
Trading politicians determined to avail
themselvei of the opportunity to rise into
power, disregarding constitutional principles
as well as the plain declarations of Holy
Writ. A species of semi infdelity seemed to
take possession of many pulpits in the North
and Northwest, from which the most reproach-
full and unchristian epethets were hurled
against professors of religion in the slave
holding States Lincoln, Seward & Co., com
menced the war under the most hypocritical
and iesuiticaI pretenes. Who are their coadJu-
tors? who have been the leaders in bringing
on so unrighteous and unnecessary war!
They are either in high places or seeking
their own sggrandizement, or at home en-
deavoring to mislead the suffering masses
| whom they humbugged. The poor creatures
are urged 10 enter the army to protect their
Capital and flag. They are made to invade late
sister States who had done no wrong, only
insisting on their constitutional rights. The
deluded and depraved soldiery ofthe Lincoln
party are guilty of Vandalism disgTaceful
to civilized society.
In the Confederate States the army is not
made up from the same orders of society
Thousands of the very best and most worthy
of the community volunteer, leaving the lux
uries and comforts of home to encounter the
hardships and privations of a soldier, as well
as bravely to meet the dangers of battle.

have watched over and favored such pa
triotic soldiery.

ton the most commendable. The religious
community and pulpits of the South that
have been so long saying to the North, let u
alone, do not stir up strife, pursue the peace
ful course on the subject of slavery marked
out by the Saviour aud the Apostles, finding
their solicitations and admouitions in vain,

DilatOry News.

The difficulty of obtaining news at this
time, has been productive of the utmost
anxiety. We have done all that lay in our
power to obtain the fullest particulars in re-
gard to the killed and wounded. Our special
correspondent in the army has done the same,
and yet such is the lack of system and the
Ignorance which prevails in different COM
mands concerning their casualties, that we
have failed to secure the desired Information.
To some extent, the cause of this is the move
ment OF the IT giments, and the thoughtess-
ness of the survivors in not communicating
intelligence; but we can see no reason why
the war department, to whom the public are
looking with anxiety, should not, with as
little delay as possible, give forth the official
list of killed and wounded. Let it be done
