Number Of embrasutes. utes...........-.........--.5 81
Number OF wooden guns. al
The guns were pine logs, cha1red black, with
1nuzxlcs. .de]ineated with CHALK, and properly
protfuded from the embrasurcs.
No real guns had ever been mounted. This
vas the representation made BY the negroes,
and the appearances inside Of the work prove
this representation to be correct
1 negro who had been kept at work Tor
months by the rebels reports them as having
said that these pine logs would answer just as
well to Is skter tie enemy"
OF the numbers Of the rebels, the highest
estimate obtainablc from the negroes, was
sixty thousand men, and this was predicated
upon the basis Of one thousand men to q
regiment, which is about double the actual
fact.
The bulk Of the rebels were at CentreEi!le,
as appears By the huts in which they
lived Our informant says that the most in
tclligept person he saw thought that the num-
ber At Centreyille was twenty thousand.
The rebels had had at Ccntrerille about
twenty pieces Of deld artillery.
The Notifications at Manassas, five in NUM-
her, had been mounted with real guns, and
guns, too, Of good size and description. But,
OF cou1Ee, they we're not formidable to those
who kept out Of their reach, and these works
could easily have been passed on either flank,
| and reduced by cutting of their commit
| nications in the rear, if direct az
| sault was not desirable. But the works st
| Centrevi1le were a mere Eham, bnllt only to
"Ekeer,' and most admirably serving that
| purpose. Il WAS for the nineteenth century,
! ard for this new world, that these perfoFmau-
/ cea On the Potomac were reserved.

JACKSON, Tenn, March s, 1852. !
SOLDIERS II assume this day the command
OF the army Of the Mississippi, for the de-
fense Of our homcEtcads and lives, and to re-
Ei=t the suhjugation, spoliation and dishonor
Of cur people. Our mothers and wives, our
sisters and children, expect us to do our duty,
even to the sacrifice OF our lives.
Our Losses, since the commencement Of the
present war, inkil1ed, wounded, and prison
err, are now about the same as those Of tho
enemy.
He must be made to atone for those IT,
verses Ee hare lately experienced. Those re-
verses, far from disheartening, must nerve us
10 new deeds Of yalor and patriotism, and
should inspire US with an unconauerable de-
termination TO drive back our invaders.
Should any one in this army be unequal to
the task before US, let him transfer his arms
and equipments at once to braye., firmer
hands, and return to his home.
Our cause Is as just and sacred as ever AMI
mat.d men to take up arms; and if We are
true TO it and TO ourselves, with the continued
protection Of the Almighty, we must and shall
triumph. G. F. T. BEArREGARD,
General Commanding.
