ARMY OF THE PoToMAo,

HANCOCK STETEoE, Va, Mar. l9, '62.
MR. EDIroR:-You and / are quite
strangers to each other, but your ex--
cellent paper, the JOsrnal. has ever
been considered welcome visitor to-
me, and many Of its readers are my
comrades and friends, and have con-
cluded to drop you few lines from the
Land of Dixie" that may be OF inter-
est to those Of my aequaintances who
may be readers OF the Journal. Our
Company was recruited at CeredO, Va.r
during the month of October, and on
the l0th Of December, we were or
dered to ParkersbRrg. and from thence
to Cumberland, Nd, at the time Of
Gen. LandeT's retreat from Komney.
We were here bat few days until we
were ordered forward, comprising a
part of the lst Brigade. However. the
advance was made slowly, on account
OF the almost impossible condition Of
the roads, and the extremely wet
weather. Still our brave and heroic
Gen. continued to move through almost
incredible difficulties. and just as he
was on the very verge OF showing the
nation his valor and skill in managing
an army, he was suddenly taken from
among us. and alb who knew him con-
fess that in his death, the nation has
lost brave eommaBdev. Still we are
willing ever 10 submit to the wisdom
Of Providence, who rules the destinies
OF nations for the greatest good. A
payt Of ouy Company are here stationed
on the B. & o r. r. for time, while
one section with two pieces Of artillery
are in the advance nj Winchester. and
we expect to soon join them. The sol
diers ont here are all anxious to make q
demonstration Of their fighting proper
ties, and while our valiant trOnps are
achieving victories in the West, We now
feel sure that We will soon show 10 the
country that we have the commander in
the East TO lead Us, and we feel con-
fdent that lCe are the men. Quite =
number OF our Company are from old
Gallia, and il We get to fight, We do
not intend To disgrace our friends at
home, but show them that we are not
only willing to fight for our country,
but also die for il il necessary.

% The Frontier press is an interesting pile

extremely doubtful cause in which it was en-
gased-no longer will its doleful cries of I" abo-

Of our bleeding country. 1t can no longer be
characterized, as the poet would,
. "That mightie.t Of the mighty means,
On which the arm of progress leans"
This quotation is not by any means appropos,

the conclusion that the poet never intended the
above should include the Frontier, and such like.
Besides being battered up in manner to render
useless, the elbows of the press are carried of.

No MAIL.-No mail was received yesterday,
at this point, consequently We are unable to lay
before our readers the full particulars of the late
Federal victory in the South west, and other
items of interest. There is screw loose some

.erdav, instead of the Eastern mail, with its
usual amount of good, bad and indifferent news
for all. there came mail from Manhattan that
had been sent from this office nearly week ago.
This is enough to upset the patience Of the most
Job-like parsonage, and cause to swear in wrath
the meekest follower of the Lamb. 1t must be
that the Manhattan Postmaster is q partaker of

so egregious blunder. Where is our mail agent,

in attempting TO make the people indorse the
Frontier as loyal paper, went beyond the prov

a fragment of a Committee, which for dryness
excelled anything we have ever been bored with
These resolutions Endorsed the paper as loyal
Another set was introduced, which merely de-
nounced the act, and set forth the duties of pa
triots, to which none could object. The original
resolutions, indorsng the paper, were adopted by
a vote of q TO 25. We have not been handed
copies of them.

Tennessee have risen seventeen per cent.

will be the case with the State bonds of
nearly all the rebel States as they are
brought back into the Union. From present
indications it is apparent that not only in

inaugurate the greatest excitement in trade

Az ADJUSTMENT" The Smoky Hill and Re-
publican Union" published at Junction City,
takes us 70 task for an item that appeared in our
paper upw6rds of month ago, which stated that
that paper Tad been discontinued and another
paper, a traitorous concern, called the Kansas
Frontier" had been established upon its ruins
We now apologize to our friends Of the Repub-
lican Union for the wrong which the said par
agraph did them, and will also explain how the
event happened. The item appeared during our
absence TO Topeka, and was penned by friend
whom we left in charge of our paper In look
ing over our list 0f exchanges he came across
a copy of tAe Frontier" the first he had seen
of that paper, and as the '' Union" COPIES of
which he had previously seem was not to be
found or OFT table he surmised that the latter
had been merged into the former taking it for
granted that small town as Junction CITY
could not have two papers published in it, ard
thereupon he made the paragraph alluded to-.
We ought to have corrected the statement upon
our return, but we neglected to do so through
carelessness. We are pleased to note that the
" Union is still alive and doing effective service
for the cause of Liberty and Union.
Will the "Union" please tell its neighbor
" Frontier" that the person who called it a
secession sheet, by simple perusal of one copy,
is an old-line Democrat II Neosho Valley Reg.
We had fears that the mistake alluded to was
the result Of brain muddled by sod corn
and although we would not make such an az
sertion positively, yet we trembied for the repu
tation of the editorial fraternity. The above
explanation is satisfactory in this respect, and
sets at naught another suspicious circumstance
often hurled at our reputation for sobriety. Ard
now the Register" will please accept our apol-
ogy for having intimated the possibility of
such thing. By the way, neighbor, where did
you get your idea of Junction? A town that
can spcrt six whisky shops. three printers whose
toothache, sore toes, and other complaints, never
require a "hcrn," but on the contrary attend
regularly upon the ,ninistration of the word, and
who NAV also be seen in Sabbath school teaching
young ideas how to shoot heavenward, with
other correspondingly astonishing constitutions"
is some town. We here aione, in these days,
see printing office gutted" twice in one week,
several rows, and the best organized police
force in the State ovcrawed, owing to the extent
of our population, and CONSEQUENTLY the proper
ton of roughs."
