FRIEND RIcH 1T may be amusing
TO some of your non military readers TO
note some Of the various subterfuges re-
sorted to in the army, TO accomplish
certain ulterior objects. Among other
things it is amusing to watch the by
play in sending flags Of truce between
the opr osing armies. In niue cases out
of ten, the ostensble business Of the flag
is nothing but a subterfuge The real
object being to obtain all the Information
possible concerning the position and
movements of the enemy. The usual
fit out of the confederacy, as they present
themselves to our outposts, is one Col.
or Major, one Captain or Lieutenant, and
six to Ten enlisted men, all evidently got
up for the occasion, all in uniforms, but.
betraying the Fl up in the fact that no
two of them are uniformed alike. All
are profuse in military buttons, but Of

From Capt. Miller.

Gg' We received a letter, the past
week, from Capt. MILLER. We regret to
hear that he still continues to have
Rheumatism in his right lip and back.
lie says the health Of Tie regiment is
gaining some, but is still poorly, owing
TO the rough weather. They then had
six inches Of snow, with very cold
nights. One OF his men, named JoHN
OLER, was in the hospital with frozen
feet, and the Captain thinks he will
scarcely be fit for service until warm
weather sets in. The Capt. expresses
the hope that he, himself, will soon be
able 10 resume his duties, hope which
his company and is friends and neigh
bors here, cordially indulge.
The gallant Captain, hearty, noble, IN,
compromising and unpartizan in his pa
triotism, has written another letter
which we have seen, and which we take
the liberty to extract from. 1t was writ.

en- on in the service OF the country-he
earnestly argues the case for the Union
against the pleadings of the copperheads
on the part of treason. lie says
" Now DAVID, you talk about Repub
lican and Democrat, | believe the whole
thing is wrong. 1t should be Union or
disunion. If we are not for the Union
we are against it, and it is not for US to
stop and ask il the Presidents proclama
ton is constitutional or not, but it is f,r
us to put down the rebellion, and then,
if he has violated the Constitution, We
will hold him accountable for it, For
my part | don't think he has, from the
fact that it has become a matter Of utter
necessity. We must weaken our enemy,
and freeing their slaves is going TO be
the death stroke on them. And from
this fact the white men will have to
come home and do the farming, in order
to keep their families from starving
But before this, the white man could
fight us and the niger could raise the
bread for their families and their army.
The proclamation is not so much to free
the negro as to weaken the enemy, but
in my opinion the fate of slavery is seal
ed, and don't Gre how many nigger
regiments they get into the field, if they
officer them with white men. A Mig
ger will stop one of the enemy's bullets
as well as white man. They are flock
ing into Corinth from Alabama and
Mississippi, as thick as black birds in an
oat field, and they are sent right off to
Memphis, and from there to Vicksburg.
[ say let us use them in any way we
can, in putting down this rebellion. The
rebels bad plenty of time to lay down
their arms and save their slaves, but they
would not lay down their arms, and con-
sequently, you see, they will lose their
slaves. And the niggers are making
good time at it. | have no sympathy
with the Rebels, and | am sorry to see
the course that some people are taking at
the North. 1t will only make the war
last the longer, from Ibis fact : the rebels
will pluck up new courage, thinking that
the North viii be divided Now, David,
you may think | am an Abolitioniit, but
that is not the case, | don't think any
more of a niger than used to, but you
see that all this has become a necessity
of the war, and if the rebels lose their
slaves through their own rebellion,
shall have no sympathy with them
But slavery is gone, even if the South
should succeed in gaining their indepen-
dence. The niger has now got a flea
in his ear and it viii always keep tick

War News.

ES' The news from the army Of the
Potomac is cheering. The roads pre-
vent general movement, but discipline,
activity and confidence, has been infus-
ed by Gen. HOOKER throughout the mass
Expeditions are daily making successful
forays against the enemy, and the con.
traband trade of the Potomac is almost
entirely broken up. STUART crossed the
Rappahannock and attempted one of his
cavalry raids, but was promptly met and
driven back.
A lot of rebels were captured by .
company of Michigan cavalry, at Clifton,
Tenn, on the 18Th. They were sur
prised and all taken, numbering a Colo
mel and IS men. A considerable guam
tily Of ammunition and stores were cap.
tured.
There was report yesterday that the
Vicksburg cutoff was completed, and
that the gunboats had passed down. We
do not credit the report.
The Queen Of the West has been cap
tured by the rebels on Red River. She
had proceeded up Red River about IS
miles to what is called Fort Taylor, stu
ated on the right bank of the river. She
reached this point on Friday the goth
Fort Taylor is not an elaborate work,
and would more properly be called Bat
terry. The river at this point is very mar
row, and the Queen, in manevenng 10
make an attack of advantage, got
aground. While in this position shot
from the battery cut her steam pipe and
rendered her perfectly helpless. Col.
Elicit had taken the little captured tow
boat Desoto with him AS tender and as
soon as it was discovered that the Queen
was helpless, her crew and all her valua

her guns spiked. He would have blown

Col. ELLErr proceeded at once in the
Desoto TO the mouth Of Red River, and
made known the facts TO Captain Brown
of the gunboat Indianola, who immedi
ately proceeded to the scene of conflict,
for the purpose of recovering the Queen
and silencing the battery. Col Elicit
