Leaving for the War.

There arc many painful and anxious part
lnSs in our State, just at this time, when 50
many are leaving US for the seat Of war. We
had occasion to notice recently, while at Brat
tIeboro, that many OF the substantial members
OF our Church are included among those who
go in the 10th and 1lth regiments. A pas
tor writes US: received several into the
Church, and baptised some, last Sabbath who
are going to the war. How appropriate to
link their names to the Church as they 90 to
leave Their names as power for good IN the
Church and world. God help them ALL
These men, who thus count tha cost and de.
vote themselves to God as well as the service
OF their country, are those who may be relied
upon IN the hour OF trial and danger YER
mont Is now furnishing some of her best ma
teri"| for soldiers. MESSENGER.

ram turned at a right angie toward the shore,
and wheeling round backed into u little cove,

This was precisely what Commodore Porter
desired. The Essex is square in front, with
three large guns protruding out rs bowsprts,

An opening presenting itself, the Commodore
ordered one of his best gunntls to fire one of his

order was oheyed with precision; the shell was
seen to strike and burst exactly at the spot it
was aimed In a few seconds a smoke was seen
curling upward, coming from the interior of
the vessel, and evident confusion was witnessed
among the crew. Cables were got out to fastep
the monster to the shore, and planters on he rse
back were seen hurriedly riding to aud fro along
the river bank. Presently, what appeared to
be some of the officers, got ashore, and mount

Volunteers from Calais.


MIR. EDITOR There is an impression abroad
that Calais is somewhat behind in furnishing
her quota Of three years men fox the war; but
such IS really not the fact.
At the time the call was made for the Ninth
Regiment, Calais had furnished twenty six men,
but from some mistake, had been accredited
only eleven. Since that time she has sent ont
thiirty-six, making in all sixty-tNo, which is 10
more than her quota.

the following list of the names Of the noble el
lows who have volunteered from this town:

General E. Kirby Smiths Cam
paign in Kentucky.
CAMP NEAR CHATTANOOGA, Tenn,
November goth, 1852.

EDITOR BULLETIN:
Dear S:r: Having never seen up to
this date, faithful ard just history Of
the recent campaign Of the Confeder.
ate Army under Genl Z. Kirby Smith
into Kentucky, and being aware of the
many diversified opinions rs to the re-.
suits of that campaign, have deter.
mined TO give to the public throuh the
medium OF your journal, the facts as
they came under my personal obscr.
vatfon.
About the 7th day of August last,
Gen. John P.aMcCown, under the or.
ders of Gen. II. Kirby Smith, moved
his, End, Division commanded by Brig.
Gen. Thos j Churchill, composed Of
nm Arkansas Brigade under Gen. (then
Col Evander McNair, and Texas
Brigade commanded by Col. McCray0
from Loudon 10 Knoxville in East Ten
ncssee. From here we moved by rap.
id marches up to about one half milo
below Rogers Gap, in the Cumberland
Mountains, when the wagon trains and
artillery having been sent back to cross
the mountains through Big Creek Gap,
the Division started at 9 O'Clock in the
night to cross the mountains at Rog-
crs' Gap, carrying with us four days
rations, AT the end of twenty. -four
hours we had made march Of thirty
two miles, oyer the toughest and hill.
est road your correspondent ever re.
members to have travelled. had al.
most forgot to say that Gen. Claiborne's
Division joined us just at the lower Gap
and was ordered through with the
train and artillery.
From this time on, we made forced
marches until we rcal he'd BarbOursville,
at which place we arrived about O..
clock, P. M. the next day-though too
late to catch the enemy's train, which
had only been gone about two hours,
and from seme unaccountable cause,
the whole train was allowed to escape.
BarboursviIle is on the main thorough.
fare by which the Federals received
their supplies at the Gap, by tho way
ofLexington. Hero we found some val
liable and much needed Hospital and
Commissary stores. Though, untortu-
nately, neither flour nor bacon, both Of
which we needed very much, as the
four days rations were about out and
our troops were living on green corn,
with a scauty supply Of green beef with
out salt. We also captured about one
hundred wagons, land five hundred mules
and horses, which had been left behind
when our friends the Feds concluded to
"gct away in q hurry" l
We scarcely halted here long enough
to get water, but pushed on to the Cum
berland Ford, Gen. Claiborne's Di.
vision having reached the town inst as
we passed through. = q 2
AT tho Ford few days rest, the first
we hddhad since we started from Lou
don, somewhat recuperated our bare.
footed and leg.wearied soldiers, though
the fare wo we've getting was poorly
calculated to strengthen or encourage
our little army, for it consisted, as /
have before said, of Roasting eurs and
a very small supply Of very poor beet,
without bread or salt. At this point,
Gen. AeCown, to the great. regret
