has been planted, and where there is a road
and an old ford
AT any rate it will not do TO have our base
here too much exposed, and there is some
chance of deceiving tho enemy as long as we
remain in stdtu quo.
Last night there was a large fire over be-
yond Fredericksburg, and explosions, which
indicate either an actual or pretended evacua-
tion. There has been brigade of rebels un-
der Wilcox, opposite Banks's ford a week or
two. This force does not seem, from ANYTHING
that can be learned this morning, to have been
increased.
The Sd, 4th, 5th, 9th. 10th and 18th Maine
marched past with lively tread and cheerful
faces on Tuesday. Col. Sewall is expected to
return to the 10Th to-day.
We ought to be grateful, that the troops of
Summers command have not been obliged to
leave their comfortable log cabins during this
storm. The rest of the army have had only
the shelter of their little tente ddbri, and must
have been pretty thoroughly soaked.
BanKs's ford is about six miles above Fal-
mouth. 1t is said, there will lie demonstra-
ton by portion of Sigels force, some distance
farther up.
The roads this morning remind one forcibly
of Peninsular campaigning; and some of those
troops, who were marching in the darkness
and storm Tuesday night must have thought of
slu1ilar ureary illgnt-march from 1ofktown
to Williamsburg, begun at the close of the day
on which occurred the bloody battle of Will
liamsburg.
1t is well for all, who are in quiet and COM
Portable homes, to picture to themselves the
condition ofweary soldiers during such dis
NAL night Give them at least your sympathy.
1t shame, that there can be found at home
one who can revle their heroic and selfsacri-
ficing work.
The zeal and energy of those who rightly
appreciate this struggle ought to be redoubled,
now that its enemies in the North are becom-
ing bold.

valued and beloved in fe in death most deeply la
mented by all who knew him.
Immediately after his graduation at the South Car

genial pursuits Of agricuture and although yet quito
young, eminent success both in South Carolina and
Arkansas, crowned his intelligent and weldirected
energy.
Unambtous, to do right, and 10 be right he

Orderly Sergeant. This company joined Col Kershaw
when foIming his regiment for Virginia, and was a

In every field from Bull Run to Gettysburg that
glorious old Regiment has borne its part and young
Cunningham at his post. First Manassas
made him Lieutenant-he promoted to the Cap
taincy at the commencement of the campaign in the
Peninsula, in April 1862. In the battles on the Chick

Maryland at Fredericksburg and the Wilderness, he
ever led his company most gaantly, ard yet passed
through all these fiery ordeals unscahed His noble
life nobly closed the hard fought field of Gettys

"A Word 10 Faint Hearts,

just so sure as God is just, says the Mobile
Heg'ster, and men loves liberty better than
subJugation, just so sure is this struggle to be
crowned with National Independence There
are not fools and towards enough who dream
OF peace from submission, born under this
Southern sun to prevent it. These men may
disgrace and damn themselves to eternal infa-
my, as cravens, dunghills, slaves if they will
but they cannot drag down to the same pit of
degradation the freeborn men and master race
OF this Southern land. The blood of the mar
tyred brave which has watered the soil of every
Confederate State cries shame on those who
talk or think of yielding-who dream of peace
except upon terms of the perfect and glo-
rious independence for which we have drawn
the sword. 1t is time for the true men of the
land to speak out and frown down the towards
who think of betraying the country to The in
fanny and ruin of Yankee domination We
call upon the press and men of nerve and in
fuence everywhere to take their stand to re-
k1ndle the fires of patriotism, to encourage or
silence the wcak-hearted and the croakers. to
make new vows of devotion to the cause, and
to drive every skulker from the army to his
duty to his comrades and his country. In

From Morris leland.

There was scarcely any firing down the haf-
Dor yesterday. The enemy's feet and batteries
were perfectly silent during the entire fore
noon. Soon after twelve oclock'a single mon
itor steamed within range, fired few shots at
Battery Wagner and then withdrew.
There was some slow firing last night, chiefly
from our battery atShell Point.-Mercury Of
Wednesday.
The Cincinnati Commercial saws there are
two reasons given by anti-draft men why the
draft should not be made. One is that it is i'm
possible to put down the rebellion by force Of
arms, and therefore that the war should at
once be stopped. The other is that the rebel
lion is so far subdued that no more soldiers are
necessary.
