JACKSON Tenn. Jan. 18th 1862

FRIEND Rich We received, last
evening, copies of the Guardian, dated
Dec. 30,h 1869, in which we see that
"the 9th were all taken prisoners, and
that Lieut.. Col. Lake was killed" This
was the first news that had reached us
that we were captives, and certainly the
flrst animation that your humble SER
want had received of his decease. This
news caused me instinctively to feel of
myself to see if | was really here, to
wonder what kind of a spiritual being 1t
was that had devoured the fat turkeys
and chickens, that were SO plentiful on
our march from this town 10 Clifton, and
back to Bethel, commencing on the 3lst
day of Dec. 1869, at 8 o'clock p m, and
lasting eight days. had perceived no
change, in my peregrinations, IN APPETITE
or the condition Of the 9Th, so | came
to the conclusion that it was hoax.
But what still more surprised me was
the fac; that large number of the let
ters received by the members OF The
regiment from home, were adore ssed to
persons whom the writers at the time
believed TO be either prisoners of war OF
dead. Some wrote that they had heard
that we went into the fight with all the
regiment but two companies, and that The
whole were killed or wounded. Others
that we broke and run for the woods
but were shot and captured, &c, DC.
If you have received all the letters that
| have written to you, you are aware ere
this, that at the time of the fight We
were l6 miles from that place. That the
next day we marched into and recaptur-
ed Holly Springs. That the only one Of
our regiment taken prisoners, was S NJ.
Langworthy, Qartermaster, who had re-
signed and was on his way home That
there were captured there, about 1000
prisoners, and about 100000 dollars
worth of property destroyed But while
such is the truth in regard to the safety
Of the eth, there must have been a great
deal of suffering on the part of the
friends Of our brave boys. | am satisfi
ed from what have seen Of the eth,
that they will do their duty when we
get into fight. We have been several
times where we expected an attack every
moment, but none of the men flinched
or tried to evade the conflict.

Ey Through the courtesy of Mrs.
Lieut.. SAMPSON, we are enabled to make
few extracts relating to the movements
OF the 9th. Providentially, the regiment
lost but few men wounded. and none
killed, and Co. c. escaped without cas-
uahty, in the recent affair at Vicksburg.
The news will carry ease and Joy to hun
dreds of hearts in our county, and we
chronicle il with feeling of gadness
made infinitely greater because Of our
previous fears. Lieut.. SAMPSON SAYS,
under date of YAzoo VALLEY, Dec. 3Ist,

FRIEND Rich The eth Iowa is
now situated at this place. We have a
fine camping ground in the south part
Of the town, where we are in sight of the
Mississippi Central r. r. and the Mo-
bile and Ohio r. r. We are required
to furnish about goo men daily for pick
ct duty. Otherwise than that, we are
required at present to do nothing more
than camp duty. Judging the future
by the past, we have no reason TO think
this state of things will last for great
length Of time, for it has been the lot OF
the 9th, since it was mustered into
service, to keep moving.
We arrived at this place at 9 a. m,
Dec. 3lst, 1869. Were drawn up in
line of battle TO support battery that
was just then moving into position to
resist an attack from the enemy. We
laid on our arms until daylight, and
then went into camp, where we now are,
and at p. m. received orders TO start fer
Lexington, Tenn. forthwith Marched
eight days, with blanket to each man,
and without tents, knapsacks CT cooking
utensils. Forage on the enemy during
the time, and reached the r. r. at Beth
ell, 40 miles southeast of this place, and
e2 miles northwest of Corinth, where we
laid one day, then took the cars for this
place, which we reached the same day
at i p. m. Our boys were glad to get
again into camp, where they could wash
up, get on clean cloths, and have little
rest. In this place we see more military
law, than any other place We have been
in. No person is allowed to pass out or
in, through our picket lines, unless he
has pass from the commanding Gener-
al Of the place. who is now Gen. Sulli-
van. The citizens have to draw rations
the same rs soldiers. For when the r
r. was destroyed between here and
Columbus, the commander Of the post
seized everything in the provision line,
in and around the city. and put every
one on half rarions. No soldier is allow
ed 10 so through the streets without
pass from the regimen'al commander.
Officers are not allowed to be away from
their commands except on business. A
large provost guard are continually
patrollng the streets, and persons found

out of place, very soon find themselves
in the jail or the Court House under
guard, where they are kept for suffici-
ent time to remind them of the necessity
of staying in their places, and then, if
the first offence, discharged. None of
our boys have been caught the second
time, so do not know what the next
would bring.
received letter from DR.. Warne
the other day, in which he states that
there is great complaint that persons at
home do not hear from their friends in
the 9Th as frequently as they should,
and wishes to know the reason. The
only reason | can surmise, is, that we
have been moving around SO much that
for some six weeks after leaving Cairo
we did not receive any letters, and most
OF our men did not write until they had
received news from home. We now
receive mail regularly, and, L presume,
1t is answered as soon as received |
answer the Doctors inquiry thus pub
licly, because it may be of more than
ordinary interest to the friends at home
of the eth.
We have now good state of health
among the men here. We left at Mem
phis, something over one hundred men,
and sent fifty five to Vicksburg as guard
to prisoners, which, with those left at
other places, we have absent over 200
men. These are very slow about join
ing their regiment, but l hope will come
up to us soon. This appears to be a
very healthy climate, and the weather is
at this time exceedingly fine.

A rebel boat was captured by the
blockading fleet off Charleston, from
which a rebel Major, with important dis
patches, were taken. These dispatches
are said to give many important details
and facts in regard TO the condition of
the rebels. They give the strength of
the rebel army, and statement of the
desperate straits to which to which the
rebel leaders are reduced, and show that
unless they can quickly get relief either
by European interference, or by divid

efforts of the government, they must

Important War News--Giorious Victory

Important War NeWs-.GiOrious Victory!
Eg- Last nights papers brought us a
variety of interesting news, some Of it Of
a most cheering character. The expe-
dition of Gen. Nc Clernand, after with
drawing from Vicksburg, started up the
Arkansas River. 1t attacked a rebel
post, called Arkansas Post, about 1OC
miles above the mouth of the River, on
the 18th, stormed the works, which were
very strong, and captured all the men,
stores, animals, and munitions Of war
Gen. McCLERNAND's report to Gen
GRANT says that he has taken large
number of prisoners, variously estimat-
ed at from 1000 to 10000. The gun.
boats under Admiral PORTER, CO oper,
ated and assisted in accomplishing the
brilliant result. The Federal loss il
said TO be only goo.
1t is also reported that BURNSIDE has
again crossed the Rappahannock, and
that battle is raging. This perhaps
may be premature, but it is very proba-
be that the Rappahannock army is in
motion. LoNGsTREEr has, it is certain,
gone south to Tennessee, and taken
command OF Braces army. Report has
it that he has taken 13 brigades with
him. Other forces have gone to North
Carolina to oppose Gen. FOSTER, neces-
sarily weakening the Rebels at the Rap
pahannock, and offering an opportunity
for the active efforts of BURNSIDE.
LoNGsTREET is said to be on the eve OF
attacking Gen. RosEcRANs, who is re-
ported fully prepared for him. The reb
ell General FORREST, however, is actively
engaged in cutting off RosECRANs' sup
plies. An expedition is after him. An
entire rebel regiment, numbering 800,
deserted and came into our outposts, 3
miles beyond Murfreesboro.
Admiral FARRAGuT has sent the
Brooklyn, the Sciota, and half dozen OF
his best ships 10 recapture the Harriet
Lane, at all hazards. Nothing of Gen.
BANKS plans had transpired. He was
very busy, however, and most of his
troops had gone to Baton Rouge.
Another Vicksburg expedition is said
to be rapidly organizing, in which Gen.
McCLERNAND is to have the second com
mand. The force to be sent will proba-
bly, reach 100000 men.
Some of the intercepted rebel dispatch,
es have been published in the Washing

is the correspondence relating to an at

Gg- The Democratic organs at the
North are carrying their sympathies
with the rebels so far as to object to the
latter being called traitors. They argue
that, if traitors, the only punishment for
them is death. As they are not hung or
shot. they cannot, by this Democratic
logic, be traitors. They are, in the uni.
form Democratic idiom, only our mis-,
guided southern brethren" Even this
reflection upon them is becoming less
general, and ne shall soon have them
termed patriots and protectors of the
rights and liberties of the country.
