MR.. j. b. HowsLL :--If agreeable
with you. | propose through yeur col
umns TO inform the home friends Of Co
| Z, OF a little Christmas scout we have
been having after some Of our guerrilla
friends. We were out ,ive days, subsist-
ing both men and horses off the wealthy
secesh farmers pointed out to us by our
guide, and we Jared we'll too. Our scout
was in the direction of the Tennessee
river, principally on the waters ofthe Piny
and Duck rivers. We had one engage
ment resulting in the rout of the noted
Col. Hawkins and staff, the capture oi
four Captains and rine men, one man
killed and another (like the swine of
which we read, ran down into the river
and drowned. The enemy brought on
the engagement by firing from an ambus-
cada volley into the front of our col
umns, shooting Captain Root through the
hat. which they supposed would check
our advance until by running fight and
the speed of their horses they could es-
cape. But they found to their sorrow
that took something more than volleJ
Of revolver shot to check Captain Root
and his column. Indeed, hardly be.
lieve avolley of grape and canister woah
have done it. For every one charged
directly on them, yelling like SO many
demons. Those guerrillss are choice
men, mounted on number one horses and
armed TO the teeth. Their business is to
plundes and abuse Union citizens aud
harrass our advance by dashes and daring
raids, and destroying bridges, rsilrcads
and supply trains. And it is only By
constant and rapid scouting that they can
be kept out.
For week past We have been visited
with snow aud cold weather Bnt prior
to that it had been remarkably warm and
rainy.
The health Of the Company Is good,
and the entire Regiment seems to be blest
in this particular.
Deserters are coming in almost daily.
The late Proclamation of Amnesty by the
President viii take half the men out of
the rebel ranks, especially near the front.
We have reliable information that the
enemy can no longer depend On picket,
which certainly is bold indication that
they are fast playing out. As fast as the
main liue is moved to the front the rail :
road is being pushed forward too, priu-
cipaily by black labor, Thus. instead ol
"sam bo' supporting the rebel army, he is
helping get it forward to US.
