weeks a proclamation, calling for

the necessary machinery to carry
it out. a Provost Marshal Gencr-

section Of the CONSUMPTION Act
provides that the President shall
assign to each district the number
of men that it is required to furnish;
and the Enrolling Board shall then

OUR Amy CORRESPONDENTS.
From the 10Th Wisconsin,

| Correspondence of the State Journal.
CoLIERvLLE, Tenn, Jan. o, 1868.
On the 10Th inst. the clouds began to
show signs of having sprung a terrible
leak, melting the snow and filling every
hollow with lakelets or streams, the inter
walls filed 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 time" for orders to march to be issued.
and accordingly we were ordered iato the
wet, and set out to produce a splendid
text for thrilling chapter OF horrors
The rain poured down in torrents, soaking
everything and everybody, while every
few yards we had to tord the warning tor
rents that rushed across our winding
way
Many were the sad accidents that betel
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 they
could be relieved. We had TO halt many
times, to allow the teams TO overtake Us
or assist them in getting out of the nu-
merous fastnesse8' they charged into :;
and the cold pelting rain had good op.
portunity to cool Us of 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-Gour 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 "fzzled D
The buildings are dilapidated, 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 a stand-stilI, presents a
fearful picture Of the revages Of war. In
the country, the devastation although not
SO plainly seeeO, is perhaps as great. For.
aging parties, authorized or otherwise,
have swept the country for miles on eve
~ side of everything eatabIe, 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 q little frmer, but, as
| write, the rain begins to fall again. Can
it be the precursor OF another order to
march? There has been an immense
quantity Of rain lately, and we have a
most sensible aud correct impression by
personal contact with most Of it.
The brigade is holding this post bat is
liable to be moved towards Memphis at q
moments'8 notice. The cars run close to
our 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.

ward on the enemy's right and gain his
rear. Mcdowell arrived and was sent to
front, but Porter's forces meanwhile lay
idle within sound and sight OF the battle,
and that General made no effort what
ever to comply with the orders te recei7-
ed, CT to take part in the action. But for
this detection, Gen. Pope believes he could
have gained decisive victory.
TIE army had become greatly exhausted
by its constant marching aud fighting, and
was extremely in need of provisions; but
q request to Gen. Mcclellan for supplies
was refused, unless a 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, and the battle Of the
30th followed. It's result made it plain
that it was no longer possible to maintain
his position, and the army fell back 70
Centre vile, where be 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 ChaDtilly, in which the enemy was de-
feated, but with the loss on cur side of
Gems. Kearney and Stevens. The whole
army W4s shortly after withdrawn to the
intrenchments in front of Washington, and
Gen. Pope, at his own request, was reliev-
Ell from his command. He claims for the
conduct Of his campaign the approva! Of
the General in Chief and the Government,
ard closes his long report with honorable
mention Of numerous Generals and ether
officers who shared 10 its fortunes.
