EDITORS APPEAL: The fgusnimi;y Of the RouaUs
was saasWhst disturbed By the raid on this plsse By
Gsneral whartoas esva'ry. Yet I do not think they
are very muscA dsplsases, for I never saw soldiers
treaties more Eadly anywhere If they did put tay sa
the shsde trees 10 keep the boys from hitsbing shsE
b0rsss 70 them
The hotels are, beyond ceRp arisen, the est I have
seen in tbs Cenisseraey, md I think il would be Of ben
en- 70 the worthy propristors Of your city If ihsy ooul6
take a squnt st our sumptuous dinners. Las night We
had a very pleasant party st he Cheics house. We lad
no rsiguiHg belle, from the fac; that hey were an
bAies Nearly a1the States in the CoaSederaay were
represented, and, 1 wiu-ada, well represented. General
Wharton looked As much At home with those Say and
dAshiss beauties as he does mid the par Of battle, and
no one Wouldhsvs imagined. tMlass evening that tie
warner HsrrissR had Sc mueh 81 the pigeon wing
s5oat him The ga1aat Gen. Bates waz there. but his
lsnsness prevented bin from participating,
Gen. wharton's headquarters is at this piaes. TCoI-
Hlrissa's brigade is qusEtsrsd near hero. Fhs Is one
Of the best brisades IN his amy. Il consists OF the sth

and DIS galEntFy was ooaspisucudy monts-ed ON sew
e-a ceeAsious. J.W Griffith, the usgt- uantcolonel Of
this regiment, was also in that war and fought his way
to the rank sf major. This rePjmsnt and the sh Texas
won proud names last sznmer 10 Middle Tennessee
under Forrest, and that hero meier tires in cor pHmsut-
Ing then.
Every thing wears alazy aspect here. All resting
AMI r~esrui,iog our horses. Gen. Whartoa has made It a
capital odssss to ride a horse faster than a walk. And
I never saw horses improve so fast. Not many days
win slapso "a. you viii hear something start ing from
this eomasad
Our cavalry will remain In it, present organization.
But eseh brigade eommander viii act on his own hook,
Independent Of the corps commander. Keeping a corps
Of eaFslry together In ths same neighborhood hiss
proved q grand lhumbug, A. every one knew It would
AID we hsve lost sally by e. We were Stationed many
dresry weeks or the riga Of ear array, acting strstegi.
eally, with nothing FOR eur horses to eat, and all will
acknoslsdge we did the enemy no hara, while we In
jured this branch Of the srvics most wretchedly. We
eoald Just as easily have spent TIE time ever the Dor.
gsr, where John Morgan is new, and Middle Tennessee
Would have bean saved. Old Rosy would not have
dared 70 advance, leaving us in his rear, and We eould
hare Stayed them despite his efforts. Gen. WHEELER
begged for this, and At one time we were ready TO start
but he order was eounterasudsd So goa learn kew
this brave command have suffered and accomplished
nothing. But The "wsr child viii soon be ia the sad
die sgaln Thea look cat Tor squalls.
