ARMY CORRESPONDENCE
GRAND ARMY OF THE PoToMAo,
~ HARRIsoNBuRG LANDING, VA,
JuIy GOD 1850

JULY 22d, 1862.
EDS. JOURNAL Although we are now a
part and parcel of the Grand Army of the
Potomac, assure you that have but lit
tie to write that would be OF interest to
your readers.
We arrived here on the 4th of July, and
were Immediately put in front, and before
our columns had reached three miles from
The river, they met the enemy in considera-
bic force, and drove them back. The casu-
allies onaour side was four or FIVE wounded,
two of whom have since died. We held the
point for some ten days, and were then re-
moved half mile back, where we are now
encamped. n.oa 'i'o Ifa 81 y
! For two or three days after our first arri-
val, picket firing was kept up almost with.
| out cessation. The pckels, however, soon
concluded that that kind of warfare did but
| little good, and as a consequence they be-
came Immensely friendly. They often stack
ed arms, met half way between posts, and
bad long and pleasant conversations. The
rebels would trade whisky and tobacco to
our men for coffee and sugar, to the evident
satisfaction of both parties. SEES. 2 @
The rebels say that they do not desire to
fignt the western men, but that they are
down on the Yankees, and will fight them
until the last.
am satisfed that if the two armies
could meet and have q conference together,
without the Intervention of aspirants for po-
litical or civil honors, that they would settle
the matter at once, and correctly, and that,
too. without the loss of a single life more.
The great msiority of those who are in
the Uniou army. are fighting to restore the
Government 10 its original purity, butit is
to be regretted that there are many who
are looking either to political or military
preferment. Such men care but little for
the country, but g great deal for self, and
sucb men should at once be dismissed from
the service and sent home in disgrace
There is another feature among the off,
cers of our army which is costing the coun-
try thousands of valuable lives, and that is
incompeteucy | know Generals, Colonies
and Majors by the score, who caunot
shoulder arms to day, and | do not know
of but one Colonel who does not de-
sire TO be made Brigadier General, at
least i1
Those of our AMY who have recently
Joined Mcclellan, are thanking their stars
that they are out from under pretende=s
and adventures, and that they can now
boast that they have a General at their
head. What we now desire is a few thou
saud more men, at this point, and that Un-
Gle Abe will let the negroes alone, and
assure you that we will soon be in the rebel
capital.
Our present position is not the heallhiest
in the world. The water is not good and
we are pretty nearly surrounded by swamps
AS consequence there is a considerable
amount of sickness. ~
The Crescents are generally well and in
good condition.
We receive the Journal regularly, fol
which we are very thankful. Yours,

neighboring States, we respectfully ask the
public authorities of Indiana to see that
the Constitution and laws are properly en-
forced on that subject. When the people
of Indiana adopted that negro exclusion,
clause by a majority of ninety.tow thousand
potes, they meant that the honest la5oring
white man should have no competitor in
the black race-that the soil of Indiana
should belong to the white man, and that
he alone was suited to her free institutions.
IL. That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza which per.
yadcs every department of the Federal Gov
ernment; that return TO rigid ecoromy
aud accountability is indispensable to arrest
the systematic plumber of the public treasu-
nv by favored partisans, while the recent
startling development Of frauds and cor
ruptious at the Federal Metropolis show
that an entire change of administration is
imperatively demanded.
IL. That we approve of and indorss the
resolutions drawn by Hon. John ]. Critten-
den, and adopted by the conservative menu
bers of Congress on the 22i day of January,
1861, as clear and just declaration Of the
objects which ought to be had in view by
the American people in the present fearful
emergency Of their national affairs.
10. That we reeur with patriotic pride to
the bravery and valor of the officers and
soldiers of all The Indiana regiments, exhib-
tied in the struggles upon the many bloody
fields in which they have been engaged, and
that this Convention, 10 behalf of the Dem
ocracy of this State, tender to them united
testimony TO their valor aud devotion to the
Constitution and the Union, and offer to the
friends and families Of those who have fall
len in the service of their country it's sin
cere sympathy and coincidence, and that we
will ever cherish in grateful recollection

now leaving their business and their homes
and rushing TO the defence of their Gov
ernment, is one OF the most remarkable
proofs of the fitness of the people for self
government. It, more than anything in
the history of our country, puzzles the
philosophers who have been accustomed
to draw their thco-ies-of government from
the lnonarchies of the Old World. There
Is nothing in our present difficulties
which should cause any to despair of the
experiment of selegovernment. On the
contrary, only let the people put forth the
power necessary to suppress a causeless
rebellion, and let that power be so EN-.
ployed and directed by the Government
as to insure that result, and the success of
our experiment is established. The grand,
spontaneous uprising in the loyal States,
watch We are just now Witnessing, will
illuminate one Of the brightest pages in
our future history. Only let our Govern
ment be true to the people who are so
generously risking their lives and their
all in its defence, and the result cannot be
In doubt.

too highly of the intrepidity of General
Banks himself during the whole OF the
engagement. He Was IN the front, ana
exposedsas much as any man IN his COM
mand. His example was of the greatest
benefit to his troops, and lie merits and
should receive the comrfendation of his
Government. Generals Williams, Augur,
Gordon, Crawford, Prince, Green and
Geary, behaved with conspicuous gallantry
Augur and Geary are severely wounded,
and Prince, by losing his way il the dark,
while passing from one flank to the other,
fell into the enemy's hands. I desire
publicly to express my appreciation OF the
prompt and skilful manner in which
Generals M'Dowell and Sigel brought
forward their respective commands and
established them on the field, and of their
cheerful and hearty co operation with me
from beginning to end.
Brig. Gen. Roberts, chief of Cavalry of
this army was with the advance Of our
forces on Friday and Saturday, and was
conspicuous for his galiantry and for the
valuable aid he rendered to Gems. Banks
and Crawford. Our loss in killed,
wounded and missing was about l 800, of
whom 220 were taken prisoners. As
might be expected from the character of
the engagement, very large proportion
of these were killed. The enemy's loss
in killed wounded and prisoners, we are
now satisfied, is much in excess of our
own. A full list Of the casualties will be
transmitted as soon as possible, together
with a detailed report, Iii which l shall
endeavor to do justice to all
