OUR ARMY CORRESPONDENCE.

Correspondence of the State Journal.
CoLIERyILLE, Tenn, Jan. %, 1863.
On the 10Th inst. the clouds began to
show signs of having sprung a terrible
leak, melting the snow and hlling every
hollow with lakelets or streams, the inter
walls filled in with hills slippery with bot
tomless mud, and cut into cutters for.
midable to army wagons and baggage
guards. Of course this was the accept.
ed timeH for orders to march to be issued.
and accordingly we were ordered into the
wet, and set out to produce a splendid
text for thrilling chapter of horrors
The rain poured down in torrents. soaking
everything and every body, wnlle every
few yards we had to ford the warning tor
rents that rushed across our sswindins
way"
Many were the ssd accidents that befel
the boys that dreadful day, falling into
the mud holes and creeks, losing their
guns, &C., and many nearly losing their
lives, in creeks where mules and horses
had to swim and ambulances came to
pieces, where horses stuck in the muddy
sediment and were drowned before thew
could be relieved. We had to halt MANY
times, to allow the teams to overtake US

portunity to cool US off almost to freezing
We passed La Fayette on our right, and
pushed on to this place, occupying the
ground just vacated by part OF Logan's
command = twenty-four miles east of
Memphis. This city; like Moscow, La
Fayette, and most other railroad towns in
this portion of the sunny South at the
present date, has completely T" fzzled."-
The buildings are dilspidated, many of
them laid in ruins, the fences all gone,
the hedg es broken down, and the lots all
torn and trampled, while but few dwell
ings have tenants left. Stores and groce-
ries closed, hotels deserted. and business
of all kinds at stand-still, presents a
fearful picture of the ravsges OF war. In
the country, the devastation although not
so plainly seen, is perhaps as great. For.
aging parties, authorized or otherwise,
have swept the country for miles on eve
ry side of everything eatable, for man or
beast, often to the last mouthful, pressing
the horses and mules for army use, the
fences for fuel, and the fodder for bedding
as we'll as food.
The snow has all melted away and the
ground is becoming a little tirmer, but, as
L write, the rain begins to fail again. Can
it be the precursor OF another order to
march2 There has been an immense
quantity of rain lately, and we have a
most sensible and correct impression by
personal contact with most of it.
The brigade is holding this post but is
liable to be moved towards Memphis at
moments's notice. The cars run close to
orr camp, and vast numbers of soldiers
and quantities of the munitions of war,
are carried by US almost hourly.
We have our letter mail more reglarly,
but our papers are only occasional visitors.

rear. Mcdowell arrived end was sent to
front. but Porser's forces meanwhile lay
idle within soand and sight of the battle.
and that General made no effort what
ever to comply with the orders he receiv.
ed, or to take part in the action. But for
this detection, Gen. Pope believes he could
have gained decisive victory.
The army had become greatly exhausted
by its constant marching and fighting, and
was extremely in need of provisions; but
request to Gen. Mcclellan for supplies
was refused, unless cavalry escort for
the railroad train were sent. Discouraged
by this evidence OF failure to support him,
Gen. Pope, nevertheless, prepared to re-
new the engagement, snd the battle of the
30th followed. Its result made it plain
that it was no longer possible to maintain
his position, and the army fell back to
Centre vile, where he was reinforced By
Sumner and Franklin to a strength of g.
600 men. Another effort of the enemy to
turn his right flank brought on the battle
of Chantilly, in which, the enemy was de-
feated, but with the loss on our side of
Gems. Kearney and Stevens. The whole
army was shortly after withdrawn to the
intrenchments in front of Washington, and
Gen. Pope, at his own request, was reliev-
ed from his command. He claims for the
conduct of his campaign the approva! Of
the General in Chief and the Government,

mention of numerous Generals and other
officers who shared in its fortunes.

VIcKsBURG.-The grand victory Of General
Grant in the capture of Vicksburg, on the
Fourth of July, can hardly be esteemed of too
great Importance 1t not only opens the navi-
CATION of that river, and makes the speedy sur
render of Port Hudson certain, but 1T releases
Gen Grants large army of more than 100000
men, to operate elsewhere in the southwest, and
deal with what rebel forces may yet be left in
that region of country. jeff Davis himself
esteemed these two points of vital Importance to
the confederscy. Last fall after visiting YickE
burg, he said to the Legislature of Mississippi:
60 Vicksburg and Port Hudson are The real
penis Of attack Every effort will be made to
capture these places, with the object of forcing
the navigation of the Mississippi, cutting off our
communications with the trans NJ ississippi De-
partment, and severing the western and eastern
portions the confederacy. Let then all .oho hGr.
al heart the safety Of the country, go WITHOUT de-
| lay TO Vicksburg and Port Hudson let them
go for such length of time as they can spare
for thirty, for sixty or for ninety days. Let
them assist in preserving the Mississippi river,
that great artery of the country, and thus con
duce MORE THAN IN ANY OTHER WAY, to the per
petuity of the confederacy and the success Of
the cause.

THE STRUGGLE NOT OVER. We have no de
sire to depreciate the Importance of the victory
gained by the army of the Potomac in the late
terrible encounter in Pennsylvania, but we advise
our readers not too hastily to believe that the war
is ended. We indeed hope that Lee will soon
be compelled to fight another battle at great dis
advantage, and suffer defeat more crushing than
the blow already administered, but until that is
done he has large army of veteran soldiers who
can and will give US much trouble. The fortune
Of war seems to be sure, to have fairly act US il
the way to victory, and ultimate triumph over
treason, but we have not reached the end of the
road by any means. The military power Of the
nation has yet much work on its hands, and need,
the hearty support of the whole people that il
may reap the full benefit of the advantages al
already gained No effort should be spared tina
can give greater strength and efficiency to oul
armies now. Peace will come only thr ough vic
tories that shall not only defeat, but shall annlhi
late the military power of the rebellion, and if WI
would have speedy termination of the contest
we must push with theutmoSt vigor the advanta
ges already gained. Then let the people stii
give to the government all the men and means
needs, and not waste valuable moments, and re
nit necessary exertions to engage in the vision
airy work of painting rose-colored pictures of i'm
mediate peace.

Franklin Pierce.

FRANKLIN PIERCE OF n u,-We oeheVe ne
was once nominally President OF the L. S.-made
speech at Concord the 4th Of July, which the
arlington Sentinel says was brImfui of patriot
ism and eoquence." That our readers may Judge
what the Senttnets idea If patriotism is, We give
the following specimen brick for this speech
Now, fellow-citizens, after having said thus
much, is it right that you should ask me, what
would YOU do in this fearful extremity | reply,
from the beginning OF this struggle to the present
moment, my hope mas been in moral power. There
it repo,es slAI When in the Spring of 1861, |
had occasion to address my ellow-citizens of this
city, from the bacony Of the hotel before US, |
then said had not believed, and did not then be-
leve, aggression by arms was either suitable or
possible remedy for existing evils. All that has
occurred since then, has but strengthened and con-
frmed nv convictions in this regard. repeat,
then, my Judgment compes me to rely upon NOR
al force and not upon any OF the coerclye lnstru-
mentalties of military power. We have seen IN
the experience of the last two years, how futile
are all our efforts to maintain the Union by force
of arms but even had war been carried on by us
successfully, the ruinous result would exhibit Its
utter impracticabty for the attainment ofth de-
sired end. Through peaceful agencies, and through
such agencies alone, can we hope to form more
perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic
tranquility, provide for the common defense, pro-
mote the general welfare and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our posterlty, the
great objects for which and for which alone, the
Constitution was formed.
II you turn round and ask me, what if these
agencies fail; whatif the passionate anger of both
sections forbids what if the ballot box is sealed
Then, all efforts, whether of war or peace, having
failed, my reply is, you will take care yourselves
with or without arms, with or without leaders, We
will, at least in the effort to defend our rights as
a free people, build up great mausoleum of hearts
to which men who yearn for liberty will in after
wears, with bowed heads and reverenty, resort al
Christian pilgrims to the sacred shrines of the Holy
Land.
This same Pierce had character for Patriotism
once given him by jeff Davis who said in speech
in Mississippi after his return from northern
trip in 1859:
al am happy to state that during the past sum
mer heard in many places, what previously hdC
onig heard from the late President Pierce, the dec
laration that whenever a Northern army shoul
be assembled to march for the subjugatlon of tht
South they would have battle to fight at HON
before leaving the limits of their own State, an
one in which our friends claim that the victor
will be at least doubtful y
