Mn. EpIrua:-E addressed you u rnuch sketch
some time. since VI hieh was not Intended for pub
~lication. 1 have since learned that you Published
it. My object in the communication was t" put
in aour possession some facts, Which had quite

I mako this statement. usk no further prVtec-
ton than is needed by an unprotected female.
AS yet they arc rot dependent otherwise.
1 an truly gra!iied in being able to-day to
state that tho general feeling and sentiment OF
this army has changed toonderfnliy since l last
wrote you. Confidence rccms to have dsthroncd
dependency, and all are cheerful; determination
seems to be depicted in every countenance, which
makcs one hopeful that feels an Interest IN the
success Of his country. On yesterday we had q
grand parndsof uArpEr's Corps, which made
quito n magnificent display. We met many IA
,niliar faces-almostliko being in old South Caro-
lima. The troops from EdgeGeld generally look
well and are in fine spirits. The fine appearance
of Gems. GIs7 and sTpvEEs of our (Walkers) Di-
vision makes a South Caro!iuian feel proud. But
you may ask why I am attached to q Georgia
Regiment? A question 1 have OFTEN answered
I joined enc under peculiar circumstances, and
not through any want of n proper natural attach
maut for My State. am for South Carolina
prejerrin5 her 10 be right,-but for her right or
wrong. I stated to tho Colonel of my Regiment
when joined It, that "my .naIural inclination
was to Join u Regiment from my. own State" but
he offered me inducements, ard I accepted and
attached myself to a Georgia Regiment in the
Confederate Amy. I nm cOntending orths Fan;c
object rs if I wero in q S. c. Rcgiuicn;; and in
after years, when Georgia shall gather up her
Jewels in the History Of this cruel and unnatural
ror, and I shall be Fortunate enough 70 be fave.a-
bly, noticed. l will feel that L have not III the least
compromised myself by being recorded as . Gsor-
yiam. She is truly "the Elupirc State" she Looks
after the comfort Of her srldiers. Several times
since tLp retreat from MissieDary Ridge have onr
Regiment been Ike recipients of both public and
private contributions. Ge"rgi'ns in the fc'd are
therefore encouraged. Tto gallant Gen. JACK
