Correspondence.

WAsHISGToS, February Sd, 1862.
Mr.. EDITOR Il suppose you are ready to
imagine that Phil has gone the way Of all
fesh-that he has seen the tend Of earth
or that he has, in the midst of the confusion
and hustle of Congress, forgotten to comply
with his promise to write soon. But assure
you neither of the incidents referred to can
account for his neglect, for lie is still alive
and looking out, and though he has failed
to write, it is not because ha has forgotten
his promise and to assign tie true reason
would only fill up your columns and not ed
ify your readers but to my task. Wash
ington is still all alive with the military, and
there is much talk Of an onward movement
but such is the confidence rcposed in Gen.
Mcclellan that everybody seems disposed to
wait with perfect resignation until he shall
give the command-FoRwARD!
You have doubtless noticed the effort being
made in Congress to remove the Government
bakeries from the basement of the capitol
In the early stages of our difficulties. when
the troops were crowding into the Capital,
tho bakeries Of the city were found to be
inadequate to supply them with bread. 1t
then became necessary for the Government
to engage in the business itself, and no place
was found to be so well adapted to the pur-
pose, and that could be placed in condition
for less expense than the vaults in the capitol;
and they were accordingly appropriated to
this purpose. 1t would surprise the poo
pie to learn what an immense amount Of
most excellent bread has been furnished the
army from these bakeries. l have been at
some pains to get the following facts. which
will doubtless interest your readers Num-
Der Of barrels Of flour baked per day, 24O ;
nun Der Of loaves Of bread baked per day,
$4,000. 1t requires fifteen hundred gallons
Of yeast per day, for tho above quantity of
bread and to make this yeast, it takes
twenty-five bushels of potatoes, two barrels
Of flour, six barrels Of hops and half bushel
Of malt. For making the yeast eight hours
are required. For splitting the wood men,
and to deliver the bread eight men are con-
stantly employed. There are ten bake
houses, with five mcr employed in each
bakery; and each bakery consumes six cords
of wood per day. Fihy-eight Thousand
loaves, each weighing twenty-five ounces,
are carried daily by twelve foar-horse wag-
ons to the camps. and distributed among the
troops. The whole number of hands en-.
ployed about Che bakeries is one hundred and
sixty-five, and the whole concern is under
the control Of the energetic and polite Lieu
tenant. Thos. j. Cate, 10th Infantry, U. S
A. You may hear from your friend and I'M
worthy correspondent as thc scribbling- fever
may take him agair. PHIL.

The Southern COnrederacy.

The London Herald, the organ Of Lord
Derby, states that the rebel agents in Lon
don have offered Oh behalf Of the Confedc-
rates the basis of treaty Of commerce with
England. This journal holds forth the most
liberal inducements for the recognition Of the
JEFF Davis government by Parliament and
the Queen. Great Britain, the Herald ar
CUES, is to enjoy perfect free trade with the
rsrolted States, an equalization Of her flag
with that of the South, a freedom Of traffic
on the coast, and the chance Of supplying
all the manufactured goods required for the
use Of the working millions in the seeded
territory. On these grounds tho Derbyites
advocate the immediate recognition Of the
Confcderacy.
Somewhat similar tn the above is the fol-
lowing statement from the Chicago Tribune
that propositions of peace have been offered
by jeff Davis to the Administration, as well
as to England and France. These reported
propositions arc as follows
/. Recognition Of the Southern Confede-
racy.
2. Absolute free trade between Northern
and Southern Confederacies.
8. Abrogation Of the Fugitive Slave Law.
4. Introduction Of coolie labor to Southern
States.
The following, intended as an almost irrc-
sistibie bait to England, is reported to have
been submitted by JEFF. Davis him self
6. Abolition Of slavery in twenty-one
years.

THE SLAVES OF PREJUDIcE.-DeaMR Rob
! bed Of HIS Prey.-Therc are queer people in
the world people with the most absurd, I'm
reasonable, and indeiensible prejudices. For
example, we have met with individuals who
had morbid antipathy to anything that
was extensively advertised, no matter what
might be its actual claims to the confidence
OF the public. These eccentrics looked with
especial disfavor OH advt rtised medicines
They could not see, for example, in Dir Hol-
loway's magnificent system of ADVERTISING,
covering, rs it does, all the mediums of pub
licity which the world affords, anything but
n gigantic scheme OF mere speculation.
True, they could not gainsay the testimony
pouring in spontaneously from the highest
sources, in favor OF his incompatible Pills
and Ointment, but still! they shook their
heads and mnttered "humbug." OF course
there is no possibility Of arguing with men
who won't reason. The best way is to let
them alone. Fortunately such specimens Of
stupidity are "few and far between" ia this
enlightened era. The general feeling is that
if a thing is in itself excellent, its virtues
should be proclaimed to tho four winds Of
heaven for the general benefit of mankind
Hence the proclamations made by DR.. Hol-
loway through the entire newspaper press
of the world, Of the properties and opera
ton Of his remedies. meets with the cordial
approval Of thinking men. The value of
the preparations as specifics for the various
internal and external complaints peculiar to
different climates, or common to tho world
at large, is conceded not only by the masses,
but 10y governments men OF science, and
candid observers in every walk of life Can
such remedies be too widely known ? I'M
possible Gin. Dollar Colombian.

The Cincinnati Commercial says:
The offieinl statement made by Gen.
Thomas that ia rebels had been buried
up to a certain hour has led the public,
prone to expect sxaggeration, to believe
that the figure represented the extent
of the loss Of the enomy in killed. We
are, however, assured, from sources that
we believe entirely reliable, that Rot
less than 800 rebels we're left dead on
the ground. The official report of Gen.
Schoepf's brigade surgeon states that

Union FEELING IN GEoRGIA.-A lady who
has recently escaped from Georgia gives An
interesting statement Of the Union sentiment
in that State. She says that in Houston
county, where she resided, majority of the
people are strongly for the Union, and await,
with the greatest anxiety, deliverancc from
the rule which now Expresses them. Their
opinions dare not, of course be expressed
openly, but secret meetings are held for con-
versation. &C.. the hopes and courage Of those
concerned being thus maistained. In one OF
these villages of Houston the Union feeling
is almost universal, but the spies OF tho JEFF.
Davis Government arc constantly on the a.
lert, rendering any open declarations impos-
sible. The lady in question was obliged, in
order to get away, to obtain a pass from AL
exander Stephens, which she did by making
pilgrimage to Richmond. She was entrusted
by lady in Georgia with sum Of money
for a relative in this State, which, being in
Confederate notes. was exchanged in Rich
mond for United States demand Notes, which
she says are there TO he had in plenty.

The Battle OF Mill Spring, Ky.
TURNING POINT OF THE BATTLE.

TURNING POINT OF THE BATTLE.
The Cincinnati Commercial relates the
following as the turning point of the
battle
For some time the fighting was close
and desperate. just before the Tenth
Indiana was supported, the vehemence
of the contest was most remarkable.
The rebels were pressing on with much
resolution, fierce and confident, thinking
they had an inferior force before them.
They were not in fair battle order, but
swarmed in the woods like Indians,
though keeping in line, and whooping
like savages. The Tenth Indiana stood
their ground, and, though in some con-
fusion, their faces were all toward the
enemy, and the crash of rifles were in
cessant, while the smoke formed heavy
sulphur fog. The Indinnians and Mis-
sissippians were for a time within twenty
yards of each other, and there was no
sign of finching on either side.
The great scene of the battle was
when the Second Minnesota aud Ninth
Ohio appeared in good order, sweeping
through the field. The Second Min
nesota, from its position in the column,
was closest to the centre of the fight and
the heaviest of the cnemy's fire. They
were the first troops that raised the
bayonet, and the style in which they
went into the fight is the theme of en-
thusiastic comment throughout the ar
my. The Ninth Ohio were next to the
Minnesota in getting into the fight
They were not behind the Minnesota
men, but ON their right, and had lit
to farther to march as they wheeled
into the field. They came up in better
order than the Minnesota, or any other
regiment had done. They were as ex-
actly in limo when they made the grand
decisive rush with the bayonet as if
upon holiday parade, and moved like
invinciblc veterans. Their gallant COL
onel, "Boh" McCook, gallopsd about
through the whistling rife balls, and
directed his men not only with perfect
disregard of personal exposure, but with
very good judgment. When the Ninth
Ohio rade their bayonet charge the
rebels were behind y fence which was
built upon row of logs aod made a
fair breastwork. The rebels stood until
the "bully Dutchmen' overthrow tho
rails with their bayonets. Then they
fsd. the German regiment after them
at high rate of speed.
The severity of the fighting may be
from the fact that in places
he underbrush, with which the woods
Yere filled, was cut down by the storm
If balls. There were thickets in which
lot n stick could be discovered that
vas not shattered by balls.
