Editors IntsEigsHesr:
As many Of your readers are my person
al friends, promised many of them previ.
GUS to leaving home for the army, to keep
them posted in regard to my whereabouts,
&C., through your columns and with your
permission will jot down few items,
which may be of interest to most OF your
many readers.
On the 10th Of October left Camp Chase
with my company for this place, stopping
for one night at Camp Dennison, where we
were consolidated with the 10th regiment
o. vi. Upon reaching this city, we were
sent to Columbia TO do post duty y; our
Colonel being appointed Commander of the
Post, and your humble servant a. A. Q.
NJ, by Gen. Thomas. 1t is violent rebel
town, of some 1000 Inhabitants, in the
heart Of Middle Tennessee, the best part of
the State. never imagined that the fe-
| male form could contain SO much hate aud
malignity, as saw manifested there upon
| the part of the ladies of the town, towards
the Yankees, as they were pleased to call US.
Icouldsay great deal about the town, but
refrain, and turn to more important matters.
After great many alarms, about the goth
ultimo We learned that Hood was adVanc-
ing from Florence. which oFoatsd anna lit
tie excitement. Tho next day word came
that Forests cavalry were rapidly advance
ing. and in a short time wild rumors Of
fighting on the Mt. Pleasant pike filed the
air. On the morning of the Gath the roar
ofartillery was heard q short distance from
town. Our forces had been falling back
from Pulaski, and were concentrating at
Columbia. and all the preparations under
Gen. Schoheld indicated hot work. Soen
the whole rebel army had eDcircled the
fated town on three sides, and from the
fort, by the aid of a glass, could see them
moving into position Rll around. On Sun.
day night the 18th we were ordered to leave
town on the double quick, which we did,
and fell into the rear of the army, which
had moved TO the north side Of Duck river.
The next evening was ordered to Thorn.
sons Station, unload my train, and haul
ammunition back to the front. Next morn.
ing we learned that Gen. Forrest had crossed
the river, and was securing the country
Soon We heard heavy firing at Spring Hill,
and finding that the enemy were getting
very close louB, we left in hurry for Frank
lin; but before all my train got under way,
the rebel cavalry dashed into the road and
cut of part of the train, which took
back to Spring Hill, and all escaped except
two wagons which were captured and burnt
by the chivaly. After starting the train /
began to think Il high time to get out my.
self; and starting with my son, who is my
assistant, clerks and orderlies, We took
across lot1 70 get TO the pike, and Just as
We reached It the enemy opened on us.-l
Falling in with regiment OF cavalry we
ell dashed on, while a rebel column were
rushing through the fields to our right to
cut us oR, 30 that the race became intense. |
~ exciting. Passing another hill we found |

It covered with rebels, who gave Us vol.
ley, and on We rushed, until We became
satisfied that it was race for life as the
stake. A mercifuI Providence favored us,
and at the end Of three mileswe left our
pursuers and began to breathe freely. When
they found they could not capture our
trains, they turned to the remains of our
regiment, which were coming on with Q
lot Of prisoners. Our boys broke and run
one Wsy, and the prisoners the other. As
our army fell back the enemy would har.
rass them, 90 that il was constant fight
from Columbia to this place. At Franklin
one Of the most desperate fights Of the war
occurred, in which our loss was about 1000
and that Of the enemy fully six times as
great. At this time the enemy is coiled
around this city, awaiting certain destru c.
ton. OF the movements here the Telegraph
will keep you fully informed.
We often read in our boyhood OF the
Sunny South, but our testimony now is
that It lie sunny huRp6MS! For several
days 1t has been very cold, and TO day 1t ID

In the army here we are ell as o band oI

as LongaHarris. Ben and Fernando Wood,
Pendleton, and Voorhees,. The MEASURE
would be received here in Kentucky, where
its principal aud most obvious effect would
take place, not as the act Of hostile ma
jority, but as the agreement of the people
Of the State and Of the nation. The strug.
gle might thus be shortened by year. aud
good feeling restored, and (either the State
treasury or the shareholders among us)

bargain. What say your D.
The comments of the Journal upon the
above are as follows: .-----...... ...
This proposal deserves consideration, as
II is franght with the utmost Importance.
There can be no doubt that the Thirty.
ninth Congress will propose an amendment
TO the Constitution OF the United States,
prohibiting Involuntary seEvitude, except
as penalty for the commission Of crime.
This is a foregone conclusion, aud We find
| in our intercourse with the people of Ken.
lucky that many are Satisfied and others
greatly grRtifed with the prospect of hav-
ing disturbing and distractiug element
Of partisaRship removed from the field Of
our party politics aud national elections.-
Nothing can prevent this proposed amend
ment from being sent to the Legislatures
Of the States, and its ratification by three
tourths Of the State Legislatures in the
course of q few years.
The question then arises, would 1t not be
better for the present Cougress-the Thir-
ty. eighth-to send the amendment to the
States without delay2 Let the matter be
referred to the people in their State Legis-
latures, and taken out of the national couu-
ellis, SO that much time aud vast eXpendi-
tnre of breath can be saved ct Washington.
The Senate aud House will then be In q
condition to direct their energi1ed exer-
lions upon the prosecution of the War 70
put down the rebellion. We have but o
very slight idea that any appropriation will
be voted to compensate loyal men for the
loss Of their slaves, for the Thlrty.Sixth
Congress rejected a bill which provided
of the pending joint amendatory resolution
is probably we'll understood. 1t passed
the Senate by the constitutional two thirds
majority, but failed In the House, when
motion was entered to reconsider the vote
by which IL was rejected, and it therefore
stands among the unfinished business, and
can be taken up at any time after the re-
convention of Congress to-day.
The Legislature of Kentucky meets. af-
ter its recess, In four week from next Wed.
nesday, and no one can deny that it's labors
would be much relieved it the subject of
slavery could be disposed of by referring
it TO the people. Our State will then have
an opportunity to give an expression of
opinion at the August election in 1866,
upon the choice of members Of the Gen.
eral Assembly. When our Legislature sd-
journed on the AID of last February, the
session was extended, SO that the people
of Kentucky could be In council, through
their Legislature, after the result of the
Presidential election was known, and while
Congress was in session. 1t was wise
fore'hought. aud we hope that the same
wisdom will direct its deliberations when
it reassembles.

Despite all the gasconade, and all tue

from Richmond to Charleston, including

They felt that they should go through

10 vain, the rebel bombast to the contrary
notwithstanding, that signals were sent
up from our ships to greet the marching

at Savannah, perhaps in it, and we doubt
not will soon be firmly established for ag-
gresstve purposes northward aud eastward.
We may expect to hear speedily ola united
attack On Savannah by the feet and sher-
mans veterans, assisted perhaps BY Gen.
Fosters command. IsolAted as that city
now Is from all the rest of the Conted eracy,
the result cannot be doubtful.
The fact OF shsrman's arrival even In

position toward it. must be, we should
think, matter of extreme modification to
the Richmond rebels-especially to JEFF.

He would have been bold prophet
who, four years ago, should have predicted
that within this time an Arkansas Judge
would charge Grand Jury that "hOldiug
or selling slaves Is crime, amounting to q
felony" and four. ffths Of the qualified ju.
rors should agree to Rnd bills of indict-
mentin accoFdancs with that charge. This
has just hnppsned in Pulaski comfy. The
Judge reviews tie Gstiono Of Inc State in
attsmpting to secede from the Union, de-
elares II contrary to the State aud Federal
Consultations, and therefore null aud void,
He takes the ground that the new free
State government was regularly organized,
and is now the legitimate government OF
Arkansas, and that Its act abolishipg slaV-
cry is now law; consequently, slavery has
become penal otfsnse, and is to be dealt
with and punished by the Courts. The
grand jury OF Pulaski county is indicting
its shareholders as felons. This is their
just reward for rebelling, in order to
strengthen the insti tuition.
