The Liaes.

~. roads t. our lines yesterday were OF
.,,rninyit;ng aspect aud Oh sractsr, owing
,,,ns heavy fal, ofrain. Nothing ofiuterest oc'
I'D however. and naught was progressing
,,.rs except the usual mn tual picket firing and
'.,,l,ery practice Of the enemy. From all ap-
.sraue,s. the vandals are rendering their po-
len a formidable one, and earth works Of
a~m.nt are progressing Immediately upon
y. ,snss Of the stream. A. also In the in,s-
.,,r whether 1t be the intention OF our
n.rsrsl, to allow the enemy to quietly
.,t down before our Capital and
..,nss +, at lsisure, remains yet to
.,.,, but OF course upon such matters
.sn.ye ilttls 10 say, and lsss desire to throw
N. shadow Of encouragement upon their
,lsp, and movements. All We hope Is, that
ne reeslvsnsss ef orr army may shortly find
.,n. euiIst for their ambition and supsra-
buudsnt gsllanry, and that too much time
FAY rot be allowed our willy foe to entrsnch
himself impregnably or effect junction with
ne hssvy bodies OF troops eng Aged pro ten in
sasapt quarters. They are numerous enough
ID our vicinity already, and Will aft oru NJ
,st1,.ent occupation IN their riddanc., With.
oss waiting for burnside OF any other power
"a! assistant. Thus think our soldiery, and
., speak We. A far az We are capable OF
adsing. the dispositions Of our commanders
srs admirably arranged In oil ESSENTIAL Is, and
oarrisd out according to the most approved
authorities in II, atters military; and when the
sreaf, grand struggle does take place, we are
positive Il will prove one of the most magni-
eceat, terrible, and sanguiaary general &C
,oIs history has ever recorded.
From prisoners, ofiicers and privates,
within our lines, captured, We understand,
aimee Sunday, IT is gathered that the loss OF
lie enemy was i'm msnss and hsir encourage
nsnt proportionately great. They speak In
salogisuo terms OF the galiantry displayed by
cur troops on all occasions. and particularly
" Ia the engagement Of Saturday. They seem
q think our soldiery must lie il-supplied
With powder, ard that "vilia!no Us saitpstre''
$ scarce with our Government, siLc3 OR
Isgimsnts show such an unaccountable eager
LESS for "cioss quarters" with the bsyon.t
spd al utter contempt for Federal g.ntility In
,audiug CT at "long taw." They even be-
rsvs that We have but four or five rounds
distributed 60 a. to nectssitete rapid and cl ose
nlh,lnE. They are heartily sick CT the war,
would appear, and bu, simply echo the
prsvaient san timsnts Of their army. Deser don.
ba, for the total slagnation Of Gil trade at
lie North, and the i'm possibility Of ob:airirg
means ofsupport civil life. They seem to
thlEk, and honestly confess, that no intslIi-
,,ut person amorg them even dreams that
,stlugation 10 possible, or that Uniouism Is
Efficiently wide spread to guarantee any hone
Of prospective reconstruction or afiiliaticp,
What they are fighting for appears TO them
70 be q mystery-sn airy something, but tam
fIbs nothing.
Some Of the regiments and individuals &C.
essionally are somewhat annoyed that their
exploits have notsesen properly cnronicled;
bat this IL almos. an impraoucabllty IL so
largs an army, thrown as II IL over broken
groundsando ftsntimes On deep.swampy roads
We take pleasure, However, in correc. Ting any
mistake that occurs in our columns, and par.
ueularly 20 when 1t refers to so gallant q
corps as the 9th South Carolina Volunteers.
for We have fought with them, and know. as
8 soldier, exactly what they feel. 1t would
appear that the 9th South Carolina and lst
south Carolina Sharpsh oo.ers,are not ioenti.
