An army correspondent Writing from
Alexandria, Va, few days since, where
he saw Gen. Hooker, says respecting
him:
a" BY accident, your correspondent fell
into conversation with one Of the major
generals commanding a division in the
army of the Potomac. His division has
been in nearly every engagement On the
Peninsula, and at the close Of each days
fight, has occupied the battle ground.
The army of the Potomac, said this
Major General, SHOULD never have
been driven back from Richmond Ii
should. and could, have entered it in
triumph months ago. The strength OF
the enemy has always been exaggerated
We never had more than l20, 900 oppos
ed TO us, and not half Of them were dis
cipljned at all

past, and three or four days ago word
came in that the rebels had killed two of
our provost guards about three miles
from here, and the next morning one OF
our pickeis was killed about mile from
here about daylight. He was brought to
camp, and was horrid sight to be,
hold. He wasshot in seven different pla-
ces, and killed ins family. About seventy
rebels were seen about the same time
crossing the road near there, and it was
not long until the country was being
secured by cavalry sent in pursuit. 12
were captured and brought into camp.
and lodged in the guard house before
noon, where they still remain. In the
afternoon we were ordered to have things
packed ready in case of an emergency
and to have our arms and acoutrements
in trim ; at night very strong picket
was put out, so thata surprise was an inn
possibility F.; at three O'Clock the reviele
was beat, and we were ordered under
arms to await orders. Every man that
was able was equipped and in ranks
ready for anything that might turn up,
but the day has passed quietly, and we
have performed our regular Sunday du
ties. 1t is rumored that there is quite a
large force of rebels about twenty miles
from here, but camp reports are an eve-
ry day occurrence. Col. Vandeyer has
five or six Regiments in his brigade here,
and if the enemy are within reach, with
him at our head, | am confident we will
give a good account of ourselves. There
is not as much sickness in camp at pres.
ent as there was three or four weeks ago
Capt. Wright is on the gain, but is not
able to resume his duties vet, conso.

Scott arrived here from home last

From the Iowa State Register.
Give us Freedom or the Grave.
BY ANNIE wITTENMYER.

Bring not from across the waters,
Costly silks from Eastern looms,
To bedeck Columbia's daughters,
While the flower of battle blooms
We would scorn as did our mothers,
To be gorgeously aTayed,
While for noble sons and brothers,
Coarse and homely suits are made;
We will weave us weeds of mourning,
Garments coarse that will not soil,
For our children's cheap adorning-
Orphans who for bread must toll
We would spurn the costliest jewels,
Proffered to bedeck us slaves,
We are children, all of heroes,
Give us freedom OF the gravel
Cease the music-still the prattle-
Hush the melodies of home
Hark, it is the din of battle,
IT'S the cannon's fearful boom,
See, the heavens are darkening DER us,
And the earth with blood is red,
And the air is filled with groaning,
And our valleys with the dead,
But our banners still are streaming,
And our host are strong and brave,
And still they come-six hundred thousant
Who strike for reedom, or the grave.
God of battles--God of justice,
Hear thy children's earnest prayer,
Give to Truth a glorious triumph,
Let thy righteousness appear,
Bring to naught the Vaccinations,
Of willy traitorous band,
And in the presence of all nations,
Adjudged, may we acquitted stand.
From our heart of hearts, We pray thee,
Stay the flow of blood and tears
Turn the Rebels from their madness,
And thy people from their fears
Give to Liberty the prestige,
May her flag forever wave
Leave of Slavery no yestige-
Give us freedom, or the grave

Rumors to the effect that the enemy in

been in circulation for some time, as Price
with heavy force was advancing north

the Memphis and Charleston Railroad,
and forcing Gen. Rosencrans to eyacuate

have the advance, and arrived at what is
known as Whites farm on the 18th inst.
Continual skirmishing had been going
on between the enemy's advance pickets
and our cavalry, which comprised the
Cd Iowa, Sd Michigan, and another bat
talon, the name Of which | forget. The
whole Of our effective force moving upon
the enemy at this time could not have
exceeded five thousand, and they sue
cessfuly engaged and repulsed the reb
els with overwhelming loss, as the sequel
will show. From Whites farm to the
field of battle the enemy's pickets became
more daring, frequently firing upon us
from every spot that would afford con
cealment, and conesting every inch Of
ground. The country over which our
route lay, was uneven and hiliy, with nu
mcrous ravines, the sides of which were
thickly wooded. Here and there were
large clearings, which gave the rebels a
good chance TO harass and annoy our
movements. The 9th Iowa having the
extreme advance. companies L. and d.

over fences, fields, woods. swamps and
impenetrable morasses. where they sank
to their kness in mud every step, but
nothing daunted, they crowded on, driv-
ing the enemy steadily before them. AT
3 p. m. they were relieved by two com.
panies of the 26th Missouri under Lieut..
Brown. The main column moved slow
ly along the road, haltins frequently for
the skirmishers, who found the enemy
posted in every place that would secure
them shot. Two were killed and quite
a number severely wounded. Towards
night the skirmish firing lulled, and many
were led 10 believe that the enemy would
make no stand at all, when just as the
head Of the column was rounding a neck
of woods tremendous volley was pour
