CAMP REYNOLDS, VA,
ATo,oh on IQe2


Mr.. HARPER: Allow me TO say a
few words through the columns Of your
paper, which is special friend of the
soldier. After remaining in camp near
Fayetteville for more than three months,
on the morning of the ! 15th inst, orders
came to pack up. We were little
dreaming Of such thing then, but by
noon every soldier was ready with
knapsack slung. Soon the large and
respectable column was formed upon
the parade ground, waiting the welcome
command of Its gallant leader-"right
face; forward, march," So by the fol-
lowing day We arrived at camp Rey-
nolds, near the falls OF Kanawha, and
were soon engaged in arranging our
household furniture. This camp is q
very pleasant one.
The boys are all in good cheer, still
looking onward and upward, and true
to command; still achieving, still pursu-
ing, and drilling in the manual OF arms.
Each one with willing mind to become
as perfect in that art as shall enable
him to WELD manfully the gun and
sword in defence of our sacred trust
and honor. Come what may, in honor
of our fathers, let US initiate their ac-
ton in support and defence OF the
noblest Government ever instituted by
man. Our leaders are men OF firm
mind and fixed determination, ever will
ling to vindicate the glorious cause Tor
which they have set out. We are also
eager to announce (like the 8lst Ohio,
that we heartily endorse this clause
viz:
"That we want every man. woman
and child in Ohio, to know that we are
opposed, bitterly and forever. to tres'
son in our midst, in our front, and il
our rear"
Our fathers fought seven years t
establish this Government, and we shal
not grow weary in well doing. and
need be we will fight three times sevel
years to protect our homes, and for tn
maintenance Of this glorious Govern
ment. JNO. A. MARTINDALE.

FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Referring to the news from Mississippi in its tel
egraphic columns, the Atlanta Appeal, says:
1t will be seen that the raidng columns in Miss
iesippi going north from Yazoo City, ola the Miss
issippi Central railroad and the other moving south
from the lines Of the Charleston road have succeed
ed in effecting junction at Grenada where, after
dispensing very small militia force the usual out
RACES, in the way of the destruction Of property,
were perpetrated Grenada was handsome town
ofabout 1000 population situated ninety miles south
of Memphis, at the junction of the Mississippi and
Tennessee, and Mississippi Central railroads twas
at the head of navigation on the Yallabusha, and
was built on the south bank Of that stream. The
two railroad bridges bnrned were fine structures
that it will be impossible to repair during the war.
This success of the enemy, of course, loses to the
South all the railroad stock of which the press has
made such frequent mention. In consequence of
seven weeks being suffered to eapse without repla-
cling the bridge over the Pearl at jackson, (which
could easily have been done,) the stock could not
be brought below, and all that has not been destroy

WISDOM IN STATE AFFAIRS.

For the successful management of State affairs,
q ruler must not only be wise himself but be capa-
BILE of appropriating the wisdom Of others. The
wisdom of every man must be limited. A great
Heather philosopher has said, that "he who cannot
be taught by a child is fool" He meant to incul-
cate, by this saying that humility and teachable-
ness are essential attributes of all wisdom. If any
any man will go over in his mind the IDEAS the
conclusions, the knowledge he has attained, he will
see how very little is original of bis acquisitions
Even when we draw the most important results, the
steps which I'D to them are of others. All wise
men, therefore, State affairs, conscious of their
rbility are ready to listen to the suggestions of
others, aud will hold their minds ready to take up
and absorb al. counsels calculated to promote the
public good. ....-.,.
Gen. Washington was most eminently most pa
tient listener. Indeed, he seldom on any new mat
ter ever expressed much less formed any opinion,
until he had heard the opinions of others. He new
er acted until he could get light from. every quar-
ter to guide his conclusions. Earnestly seeking
the best policy to be pursued, he sought the Wis
dom of the ables: men. He had no jealousy of the
superior mental ability OF others, because he did
not think of himself in the discharge of his duties
He looked to the public welfare; and in his simple
integrity sought from every one all the wisdom
they could impart President Monroe was type
of the same sort Of man. BY no means an able
man himself he gsthered around him, as President
of the United States the ablest men of his day

CHA1TANooGA.-The attack on this place, we are
inclined to believe is general advance on the part
OF Rosecranz to take Chattanooga and Northwest
Georgia, and drive back Bragg. AS we understand
the matter, our entire force is, and has been, on
this side of the Tennessee river-makng that river
the line of defense. The whole country on either
side Of the river is very mountainous. The line Of
defense is very long one-from near Huntsville
on our extreme left far up into.East Tennessee on
the right. The Smelling of Chattanooga on Friday
and at intervals since them is doubt feint the
true object being to 0Oss the river in force at some
other puint-either at Harrison some 20 miles above
Chattanooga, in East Tennessee, or at Bridgeport
below. We hear that our forces have actually been
defeated at Bridgeport and driven away, and that
the enemy have thrown pontoons over the river upon
which they have crossed in considerable numbers.
We cann9t positively vouch for the truth of this
report but we believe it is correct.
We think a determined movement is now being
made by Rosecranz to cross his army at Bridgeport
and flank Chattanooga on the south or to cross at
Harrison and make descent upon the State rail:
road at or near Chickamauga We shall not be sur.
prised if battle is fought this side Of the
Tennessee river in day or two.-,Southsrn Con-
