This morning our company lef, camp at
five O'CLOCK for faIi que duty on the fortlf-
cations between Chattanooga aud the
River. We are now waiting orders. As
we have had dry weather for a month, we
found the rod this morning, as usual, very
dusty. In all Of the roads where the
soldiers have marched the dust is, in some
places, nearly shoe-mouth deep Tie
leaves fences and everything near the road
are heavily coated with it, Rain would lie
blessing to us. The days are not very
warm. The nights are occasionally quite
cool.
Our Division prepared two days rations
Sunday morning, and marched a distance
of about ten miles, stopping OH the top OF
"Misson Ridge" and bivoucked until
Tuesday evening, when we returned 10
camp. The object Of the move unknown
to us. We were above Chattanooga about
five miles, not very far from the River. At
our present camping groutd we have an
abundance Of good water. 1t is con-
venicntIy situated to McFarIin's spring,
Walker county Ga. five miles South Of
Chattanooga. Chattanooga now has but
few inhabitants. a greater portion having
fed from the barbari,y Of the one,ny, to
t.s interior.

KING CorroN.-rns London cor,espon-
dent Of tho New York Times says:
Tho harvest continues good. bat the
cotton prospect is bad. 1t could scarcely
be worse Cotton will not come from
anywhere, no matter how much it is
wanted. India and Egypt do not crease
the product even at the high prices. They
will do nothing at low prices. What Eng
land wants is plenty of cotton at sixpence
a pound. What can she do With quar-.
tor supply at double or treble price? I:
will not do, and Lancashire and the whole
greats,otton interest stand on the brink o,
ruin. Two years experience goes to prove
that America alone can supply the ssoxla
