A Soldiers Letter-No. 8.

DEAR MESSENGER Some two months ago
when | wrote letter No. 2, | was among the
sick at Fairfax Station. and now am with
few of the same class, in the hospital at
Union Mills, some three miles from Manassas.
| feel no more inclined to write about the
really beautiful scenery, ~ which we are
passing our swift flying months of soldiers
life, than in my last.
| do feel IN humor to speak of our nations
prospects. How vast the change for the bet
ter during the past few weeks When the
mother OF the boy that died while In the
field, of suostroke, could say to Israel's
Prophet when he asked, is it well with thee,
is it well with thy hsband, is 1t we'll with the
child ? il is well ; thus, when | am asked,
is it well with thee, is it well with thy
country, is it well with freedom, and God s
blackmen ? will answer, it is WELL
True we have had no great victories in
the field, but we have had far greater ones
and better, in the hearts of the people.
1t makes my heart throb with pleasure,
and my eyes sparkle with delight, to read
from day TO day, the noble words spoken by
tongues unused to the utterance of such SEN
timents. Many might say as one did, that
it is true he had been opposed to arming the
blacks, but he had got religion since then
The conversion of men from being pro.slavery
to anti.slavcry, is among the most valuable Of
revivals Of religion, for l fully believe that
any religi without humanity, in its ground
work, will send its possessor over the river
Styx, instead of over Jordan.
With people ready to extend the rescuing
hand to the oppressed, and acknowledge him
to be man, ard brother, victory will not
fail to perch upon our nations banner
Our regiment has consigned thirty-thgQe to
soldiers graves, all dying Of disease, and ere
three months pass away many more Of Us
must follow, but if the sacrifice Of comfort
and life Of millions of victims, will but wipe
out the plague spot Of American Slavery, ]
am constrained to say, it is WE'LL
@ Let 1T echo DER the sea-
lis the year of jubilee
Let it sound from shore to shore,
Our land is free for more.''

The FAST DAY PROCLAMATION IN New Or
LEANs.-There was good deal of excitement in
some of the New Orleans churches on the Sab
bath preceding Fast Day, relative to the reading
of the Presidents proclamation. At ST. Angus
tines and St. Annes churches the proclamation
was not read. At ST. Mary's it was read in En-
glish, which most of the audience could not under
stand, being French. The Era says:
In number of churches in which the procla-
nation was read, there were dsgraceiul manifes-
tatons of dispeasure. The women generally LED
of, and were followed by the men. They left the
building in the most diSgraceu and offensive
manner, shutting their feet and making as much
noise as possible in their retreat. In many n-
stances, the clergymen, as if to apologize to the
audience for reading the proclamation, took pains
TO state that they had been ordered to read it as
much as to say We don't want to read it, and
we only do it because we are obliged to.
AT the Church of the Immaculate Conception,
on Baronne street, we learn that the congregation
acted very diSgracefully, upsetting stools, and
making all sorts Of noises as they left the peaceful
temple dedicated to the worship of the Most
High"
AT the st. Rose de Lima, Father Lemaitre, ar
active friend of the Union, read the proclamation
in French at first and second mass.

In my letter las. evening, which was writ.
ten hastily Immediately on our arrival here,
the Surrender Of Cumberland tia, was a.
luded to- Since that time have met with
several of the garrison who escaped from
that pIaee-aome Of them after the surreu-
der-irom whom the following particulars
are obtained: On wednesday morning, the
nh int, the enemy made their appearance
at the Gap. and before one o'clock p NJ. Of
the same day Onf forces, amounting to about
2,tsD men, surrendered Internationally
They Were under the command Of General
Frazer, as previously stated. II il said that
some aO of slemp's 6lth Va infantry made
their escape, refusing to surrender, together
with several hundred others. Amoug the
batteries captured was Leyden's battery, eaid
to he one of the most splendid batteries in
the service. 1t was presented to our Gov
erhInent by the merchants Of Liverpool
We also Lost large amount of arms, stnree
eqnipage, xe. The affair Is. regarded here
hs one Of the most disgraeeful occurrences
oi the war, and the commander of the most
ia severely censured. 1t is represented by
an intelligent soldier, who made his escape
after the surrender, aud given as his opinion,
that the enemy only had three regiments,
which were marched and counternarched in
such manner as TO give the appearance Of
an overwhelming force, and that onr com
mandcr was completely dipped ny this ruse;
while on the other hand their forces are esti-
mated by some as high as 5000. The first
estimate l am disposed, however, to credit
As to the probable consequences of the sur
render it is hardly necessary to speak, az the
result Of affairs in East Tennessee
This morning we have the report that the
enemy have fallen back to Greenville, Tenn,
and that our pickets are within five miles of
that place. They will doubtless be driven
back to Knoxville in few days. AS the

A Trip South.
ESPECIAL coEnrspoA oADrNcE OF DISPATCH.

CLAYTON, Ala, Sept. 18th, 1853.
After week Of tedious travel by rail from
Richmond have at length reaehed my des-
tinaiion. When it Ia remembered that the
trim by the identical route was, several
months ago, accomplished in three days, you
viii derive correct idea how the iron-h0rse
now annihilates time and space. 1t is pre-.
snmed. however, that the war has compelled
railroad companies, like other corporations,
to the practice OF economy, else with very
rarit travelling our resources in this regard
vould soon be exhausted. 1t wis suspected
by majority Of the passengers, especially on
the Wilmington and Manchester road, that
the slow prUgress and frequent and hnneces.
sary delays were prompted by the eOllusion
Of one OF the conductors With certain rail
road hotels. 1t is certain that that official
observed when the train left Wilmington that
he didn't expect to make the connection at
Eipesyille, although We started ct schedule
time. As was expected, We arrived at the
latter delectable caravansaTy at O'Clock the
next morning, although the train was due
there at :. F. NJ the previous day. The fire.
nuency of these failnl es has Caused the ira
Yelling public to aseribe them to the reason
above suggested. Seriously, 1t is great an
noyance to the passenger On urgent business,
ani especially to the hundreds OF furltughed
soldiers that daily crowd thc trains ON their
way southwark to snatch brief Interval Of
peace and unlet with loved ones at home and
who measure time by no golden standard.
The trip from Richmond was marked by
little Of interest to the traveller or the read
ius public. Alta certain important point In
upper North Carolina Gen. Matt w. Ram
SONS brigade was stationed. and industrious

ficafions, In anticipation Of an expected raid

MARsHALs.-The Abolitienists who in
sist that white men ought to rejoice in
the privilege of dying to free the negro,
are determined that the honors of mar
tyrdom shall be fully won and worn by
those whom they select for that distnc::
ton. A Provost Marshal at Pittsburg,
of his own motion, and with no color or
law, ordered the intliction Of fifty lashes
upon an alleged dcserter within his dis
trict, and superintended himself the cx-
ecution Of this infamous sentence. a
Pittsburg journal thus describes the
scene:
IIagap was now seized by the guard and
taken to the "rendeZvOus" i'll the third story,
where preparations were at once made for
carrying the order into effect. The man, ~
We are informed was stripped naIled, ,.agsed
and handculied A raw cOwhide was pro-
cnred, and soldier named Geo. Pelmer, cor
poral of the guard under directions OF Depn-
ty Provost Marshal McHenry, who was pre-
sent, proceeded to lay On the stripes. fIa
gan, comparatively powerless though no
was, resisted, and McfIenry, as is ALLEGED,
called on the soldiers present tn hold
him while the stripes were being laid
upon, as the report goes, McHehry hiGs elf
seized the Wretched man and held him until
the entire fifty lashes were administered
Hagan struggled violently i'll his agony; bnr
before the sentence was half carried cut he
fell PROSTATE on the floor, and while III this
conc itiOn the balance OF the llehes were ad
ministered To Tim. His condition, when
taEeu up, was pitiable in the extreme Hi,
