LETTER FROM AN OFFICER.

We are permitted, says the Columbus Sun, to
publish the following extract from an intelligent
officer, from this city, in Gen. Johnston's army:
Leaving our winter quarters was reluctantly &C.
quiesced in by our soldiers. There was nothing
inviting in the country. 1t was position decided
y menacing to the Federal capital, and we have
held it SO long in attitude of inviting an ADVANCE Of
Mcclellan that very many of our gallant fellows
turned their back upon the works SO laboriousy
accomplished with sullen hearts and disappoint
ment. The move was wise from various potential
considerations and ere long the country will &C

conceived it.
of Mcclellan to advance cautiously with the i'm
mense army at his command to oyerpower US. We
were SO near his sources of supply and munitions,
that we might have beaten him twice or thrice o
week, and yet failed of decided results. We were
too far from our own supplies, and eight months
with an army have completely exhausted the
country. The Sehastopol works at Washington
afforded the enemy safe retreat in case OF dis
comfiture. We had no such place to fall back
upon, at any such relative distance. Herein was
a strong succor to the moral effect of the enemy
operating in dametric al ratio badly upon our own
men,
Il was unpleasant and indeed discouraging to
think that if successful might have to beat the
sanguine Hessians every few days at heavy sacrl-
fee, and yet have him in condition to come upon
us with fresh troops from his reserve TO renew the
conflict, in which we might have grown weared. We
have. l presume, never dreamed OF an attack upon
the Union capital-if so, our chances Of success
were lost after the inaction that followed the great
victory of 2lst of July. So then we were at great
hazard simply maintaining menancing altitude.
Again we had d line of immense length and being
SO near the enemy he could precipitate heavy
column upon any one point while he made feints
elsewhere; and if we could in time concentrate
we necessarily jeopardized the places from which
our troops were Withdrawn.
We now occupy, in every way, line o. W ae-

THE RArrAHANNocK FRONTIER. The Frede-
ricksburg Herald, of the 4th inst. says that the
Federals still occupy the country north of the Rap
pahannock, in the county of Fauquier, and upper
edge of Stafford, and had not attempted to cross
the river at our last advices.
We hear that lively skirmish took place between
some forty Texan scouts and party of the enemy
early yesterday evening, above Stafford Court
house. One of the Texans is sure that he brought
down Colonel at one of his shots, judging from
the style of uniform worn by him. The officer fell
dead from his saddle in full sight of the Texans.
We have it on pretty good authority, that whilst
at Stafford Courthouse, the enemy destroyed and
maltreated the records of the county-one report
is that they burnt them, but this is not well au,
thenticated.
They also took tho silver from several private
families in the neighborhood, and perpetrated
several other acts Of infamy. [Rich Enquirer, 7th

SAvANNAH, April 12.-The following, from the
Republican of this morning, is fully credited in
official circles: ~
It is with sincere regret that we learn, since our
country edition went to press, that Fort Pulaski,
after most gallant defence against guns most
vastly superior to its own, surrendered to the ene
my at 2 O'Clock P. NJ. yesterday. Corporal Law,
of the Phenix Rifemen, stationed at Thunderbolt,
brings the Information direct. He reached the
fort at A. M. yesterday, and started on his re-
turn Immediately after the flag was struck.
The surrender was unconditional. Seven large
breaches were made in the north wall Of the fort
by the batteries Of s.PssFot guns at Kings Land
ing. All the barbette guns in the fort were dis
mounted !; also three casemate guns, leaving but
one gun bearing on that point. Three balls had
entered the magazine and a great breach had been
made in it. The balls were conical and steel
pointed, and were propelled with such force as to
pass entirely through the wall at nearly every fire.
No lives were lost during the bombardmcnt; four
were wounded; three of them have lost a leg and
one an arm, all privates. No names are given. Of
the Oglethorpes, who occupied the most exposed
position Of the fort, Lieut. Heishy stunned, but
not seriously hurt Col. Olmstead sent no official
dispatches, but verbal message that the garrison
had done all that men could do. He attempted to
signalize to Causton's Bluff yesterday morning, but
such was the fire that no human being could stand
| on the ramparts for even moment. Nearly q
thousand she'll Of the largest size were thrown into
the fort from the Federal batteries.
1t will be gratifying to know that though much
exhausted, all the garrison are well except the
four wounded men.
We think this account may be relied on as cor
rect. We could obtain no further particulars.
lis corroborated by another witness, and sig
nal man who went down and returned in company

THE YORKTOWN SKIRMIsH.-The latest ntelli-
gence from Yorktown informs US that a skirmish
between our forces and the enemy had occurred
on the Peninsula, on Saturday. The announce

bloody engagement. Reliable sources, however,
give the skirnish the aspect of artillery duel at
long range, in which we lost about five men killed
and several wounded, II is reported thst the en-

garded as the precursor of a determined contest,
which will result in decisive battle Of great mag

lowing items:
We notice in several Northern and Eastern pa
pers statements regard to the business at Nash
Vile, which are entirely incorrect. So far as
legitimate business is concerned, there.is nothing
doing here. Many of our principals torres are en-
tirely closed, and those which are open are doing
nothing worth speaking of. There Is no manufac
turing going on; printing Establishments are
closed with the exception Of that portion of the
newspapers now published here, and indeed we
may say briefly, that only bakers, confectioners
and botel-keepers, are doing enough business to
pay rent, to say nothing Of other expenses.
In this mans opinion, we shall hear OF q larger
They don't mean to give up, but will fight it out,
moving backwards by slow degrees, and destroy
ing ali property that is movable and perishable,
except their cities, until their line of defence is
established with such concentration OF force as
will keep our sold iers from any decisive authority
over territories south of the border line. He says
the Northern and Southern States have under
valued their enemy ever since the war began, and
that particularly at the South they needed reverses
to inspire concentrated action. Another mistake
made by the Confederates was that they did not
think the Union troops would commence spring
operations so soon, and hence they were not pre-
pared for them to the extent they now are or soon
will be.
It looks now as If the border States will go, but
they will make an effort to save them as long as
resistance further South. He says he thinks they
don't mean to give in under any circumstances,
while the Lincoln administration lasts. fhis he
knows is the intention of those who look upon the
ultimate end as doubtful. | think We have al
along under estimated both the force of the rebe
army and the sentiment OF the South. The re
spectacle opinions l hear expressed, howevr eau
tiousiy, are uniform on this point.

of the boarders of the Spotswood Hotel in going to
his room found weli-dressed stranger, who, on
being spoken to, appeared to be perfectly at home,
saying that he had been assigned the room, sorry

robberies had been perpetrated at the hotel in a
rather mysterious manner made the original occu

search and found that his watch and money had

FRoM THE PEN1NsULA.-It is known that on Sat
urday the enemy advanced on Magruder's lines in
great force by land and by the river. A consid-
cradle combat of artillery ensued. in which the
Confederates gained decided advantage, sunk
one of their vessels and killed a number of men,
with small loss to themselves. On yesterday
more important events were expected, but nothing
happened but some skirmishes. All that has
taken place up to the present moment is probably
intended as feeler." But, if Magruder's posi-.
ton is found assailabe there is no doubt but that
q battle of the largest kind will be Immediately
fought, which cannot fail to have serious effect
on the fortunes of the war.

Dun v1vIMus VIvAMus.-Dr. Doddrdge was the
author of what Johnston calls one of the finest
epigrams in the English language. The subject is
his family motto, dam uioinlus oiuansns, which, in
his primary Specification, might not by some be
considered very suitable to Christian divine but
he paraphrased it thus:
Live while you live, the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures OF the present day.
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries
And give to God each moment as it tlies
Lord In nv views let both united be;
live in pleasure when live in Thee.
