gives a better idea of what our boys
are doing, and of the movement OF
Banks Division, than anything we have
yet seen =
CHARLESTON, Va, March 1st, 1862.
We arrived in this village Wednes-
day noon, and have been chasing rebels
ever since. They run from us every
time. Two of our men were taken
prisoners last night, in consequence OF
their horses giving out.
There are some nine hundred rebel
cavalry skulking about here, though
the largest portion Of the rebel force is
about eight or ten miles distant. We
expect general engagement soon.
Gen. Jaclison's rebel horde of about
twenty thousand are encamped a short
distance from here, and are evidently
awaiting an attack from us, in which
they will be accommodated unless they
again run.
The whole of Gen. Banks Division,
besides large humber of other troops
are nov here, and others are arriving
daily. Gen. Mcclellan is here conduct
ing the movements.
1t was Imaginable to see the people
running about here when we took pos
session. Men, women and children
seemed perfectly crazy. But having
discovered that we did not come to
burn, pillage and destroy, they began
to show themselves, but they are most
ly secesh to the bitter end.
Nearly all the male portion of
Charleston is in the Southern army,
and the ladies are strong sympathizers
with the rotton G. s. A. government.
Board is quite high and poor at that.
Pepper and spice is $500 per pound,
tea $500 a pound, coffee $3.50; and
salt $4,000 per barrel.
We are now beginning to see war
as it actually exists. Myself and 9th
ers have been-for 4S hours with but two
crackers each, but we feel able to stand
it if any one can.

How to Prevent Wet Feet.

A writer to the Mechanics Magazine
says; " have had three pairs of boots for
the last six years, and think 1 shall not
require any more for the next six years to
come. The reason is, that treat them in
the following manner: put pound each
Of tallow and rOsin in q pot on the fire /;
when melted and mixed, warm the boots,
andspply it hot with painters brush until
neither the sole nor the leather will soak
any more If it is desired that the boots
should Immediately take polish, dissolve
an ounce Of wax in a teaspoonful Of lamp
black. A day or two after the boots have
been treated with the talloW and rosin, rub
over them this wax and tuFpentine, but
not before the FIRE. Thus the exterior will
have a cost of wax alone, and shine like q
mirror. Tallow or grease becomes rancid,
and rOts the stitching and leather; but the
rosin gives it an sntiseptic quality, which
preserves the whole. Boots and shoes
should be 50 large as to admitofcork soles.
Cork is 50 bad conductor Of heat, that
with it in the boots, the feet are always
ware on the eoldsst stone floor"
