A correspondent, with Gen. Mitch
ell's command, writes as follows to the
Cincinnati Gazette, from a point south
of Green river:
Sonic of the most beautiful thrills,
ass l ,lovely residences, which only a
few months ago adorned these fertile
valleys, are now the abodes of owls
and bats. In order to impede our
march, the road had been obstructed
for miles with fallen timber. In many
phiTes the road had been plowed up.
All the ponds, some fifteen in number,
on the line •of mare)), were rendered
unfit for man or beast, owing to the
Act that these Attsolators had killed
horses, cattle, sheep, and hogs, ripped
them open, and thrown them into the
water. In a few instances drains had
been dug, and the water let off. I
counted, in the distance of eighteen
sileven sites, where once stood
residences, now nothing left but a few
charred timbers.
As we passed Cave City, I rode over
to take a view of the ruins of the once
fine Cave City Hotel. here it NN(I.S
that the visitor came afar to visit that
wonder of wonders, the Mammoth
Cave. Nothing now riemains but the
indubitable evidence of the fiendish
ness of Hindman and his guilty ma
rauders. Many incidents OCCUITed
during the march of eighteen mites of
an affecting nature. As the column
passed the Woodland House,wbere the
remains of Zollicoffe,r were received,
the st . aytiand stripes once again greeted
our vision , waved by a coupleof young t
jadiea.• *Several of the of fi cers ats
mbanted and entered the hotel. The
young ladies proposed to sing the Star-
Spangled Banner, we joining in the
chorus. I have often heard it sung;
'put never before did 'its notes fall so
sweetly as then. As the joyous party
came in on the last verse, the cuthusi
'nsm became intense.
The old lady, with tears in her eyes,
filessed God that their hour of' deliver
ithee had come. After drinking the
'health of the hostess, in the shape of
some good buttermilk, we took our de

TUE Journal & American of last week
states that when the Senate refused to
concur in the Honse amendment to the
resolution for the expulsion of Bright,
and it came back to the House, Arr.
Scott voted against receding from the
amendment. Upon looking at the
Legislative Record, we find Mr. Scott
was not there to vote upon that ques
tion at all. A report of a committee
in a contested election case, presented
a few days afterwards, shows that
when that vote was taken, he was ab
sent in Philadelphia, attending to his
duties as a member of that committee,
in hearing the evidence in the case.—
Now the Jour. (f , Am. either was wil
ling to snake the charge without ex
amining, or if they did examine" the
Record, to falsify it. We will see if
the editors of that paper have the man
liness to do justice.
THE Secretary of War has forbidden
the publication of war news, unless
with his or the consent of the com
manding Generals of the army. up
to the hour of going to press, we have
received no later news in regard to the
movements than will be found in our
columns. There is evidently some
thing of immense importance about to
take place, as McClellan, Halleck and
Buell have all put their forces in mo
tion and our readers may prepare to
give three times three and a tiger for
the glorious results, for victory must
necessarily perch upon our banners and
the old stars and stripes wave triumph
antly over every rampart and fortifi
cation within the MC its of this
To Tim exclusion of our usual vari
ety, we give the great and able speech
of lion. John Scott, member of the

Commutation of the Tonnage Tax.—
We ask every reader of the Globe to
peruse it carefully - . This winter we
`have a member in the House whose
- power and influence are felt, and whose
elear•toned and eloquent voice is heard
echoing and ac-echoing through the

members sit and listen to his sound

and trembling.

as a deserter in the Journal ,6 American,

MESSRS EDITORS :—Somo time since

occasionally, through the medium of

abouts and doings" of the 49th, P. V.
Owing to a scarcity of interesting mat
ter, and other reasons, I have not ful
filled my promise, but if -my friends
will forgive my negligence, and' you
will give space in your columns,
endeavor to de better in future, by
supplying such information as be
interesting to persons having friends
in the regiment,
We 'lntve been under marching or

The health 'Of the Regiment is re

our kind and efficient Assistant, 'pur

who is unable to walk about."
If we make a " move " of any kind,
I will endeavor to inform you immedi
ately.
Before closing I must refer to a re
port which has been circulated in Hun
tingdon, by some person who has visit
ed this side of the Potomac, to the ef
fect that our officers were not temper
ate men; I can easily understand why
our friends express so much uneasiness
on our account, after the report reach
es them ; but I can not understand
how any man could come here, and af
ter enjoying the hospitality of our of
ficers, go among the people whose sons
and brothers compose the Regiment,
and circulate so vile and malicious a
slander. There is but one man in 11.
capable of it. One who was willing
to " serve the people" when well paid
for it, tuft who would prefer assisting
their enemies, to taking up arms in
defence of the Union. Our officers,
from the Colonel down, are gentle»ien
of the genuine stamp, and I must give
the lie to any man, be he who he may,
who will assert the falsehood to which
I refer. If he will avow himself, give
him my name, and when a suitable op
portunity offers I will force his asser
tions down his throat.
Yours ever,
CAMP PAEIiPCIN'T, VA., Feb. 24, 1802.
REARItD/TORS:—TheglOriol/.4ltChieVC
ments of our forces further Son th, have
the effect of inspiring our army of the
Potomac with bright anticipations of
a speedy restoration to the more geni
al and quiet life of home.
We have but little expectation of an
engagement with the enemy, unless he
persists in the occupation of Centre
ville and Manassas. However, even if
any demonstration is intended to be
made at either or both of these points,
it cannot be an early one, as the roads,
now absolutely impassable, have every
indication of continuing so for a month
or two to come.
The men generally, I believe, are
anxious to extend the " red right
hand " at the earliest possible period,
in order that they may return home
in time to assist in paying the taxes.
I am of opinion now, that unless
sonic terrible reverses overtake us,
this rebellion will hai•o ceased before
the expiration of six months.
Virginia, I imagine, will not long
continue her allegiance to the Southern
cause, as the doses of Unionism which
she is compelled to swallow, cannot
but have the effect, noises voices, of
purging her from all uneleannesg.
Deluded Letcher, whose fancy in
vested the Susquehanna with greater
charms than the Potomac, as the di
viding line between the contending ar
mies, doubtless curses himself for his
credulity, as be gazes upon the slow,
sure, and irresistable progress of sub
jugation.
. ,
Poor Virginia has been treated badly
by her sons; in the very prime of life
she becomes grey haired, through much
grief and tribulation; when her limbs
should have been strongest, she is com
pelled to resort to crutches, and as she
totters about, emaciated and forsaken,
one is compelled to watch her move
ments more in "sorrow than in anger."
I observe, by reference to the col
umns of the Glob,', that the Union sen
timent is not diminishing in Hunting
don county, as is demonstrated by the
marriage notices, which aro not !Infre
quent.
I was somewhat surprised to learn
that my friend, the counsellor, (Lytle)
had " gone off." I am requested to
notify you that wo soldiers, who are
denied the privilege of " looking out"
for ourselves, will expect you to inter
cede in our behalf, and reserve a num
ber of better halves for us until our
return.
A lady is a rarity here, and when
the camp sometimes is favored by wo
man's heaven-inspiring countenance,
crowds of anxious eyes may be soon
vieing with each other in the endeavor
to get "just a glimpse of the dear crea
ture."
You cannot possibly imagine what
barbarians we aro becoming. If our
isolation from the finer elements of so
ciety should continue for the term of
our enlistment (three years,) we would
actually he totally unfit to go into civ
ilized community.
The health of our company still con
tinues remarkably excellent. The
death of Mr. White, of your county,
in camp, was profoundly lamented by
his friends and acquaintances here.
P. S.—Since writing the above, we
wore visited by a terrible wind storm.
Tents and trees were overturned by
the hurricane, despite all exertions to
keep the proper .end uppermost. The
danger to life in many instances was
imminent, from trees falling among
the domicils of the boys in camp. Ono
man of a neighboring regiment, I am
told, was instantly killed in this man
ner. I.

Strong Union Feeling in South Tennes
see and North Alabama.—Tyranny of
the Rebels.---Seizure of Wheat and
Flour by our Forces.
WAstitsares, March I.—Dispatches wore
received at the Navy Department to•dny from
Crim. reote, enclosing a report from Lieut.
Given, in which he says he returned to Cairo
on the 23d, after having gone up the Tennes
see river in the gunboat as high as Eastport,
Alahatua.
lie is happy to state that he has met with
an increased Union sentiment in South Ten
nessee and :North Alabama—he saw a few
Mississippians in Sardin, McNary, Wayne
and Vecatnr, and a portion of Ifardiman, all
of which border upon the river.
The Union sentiment is strong, and those
who do not express themselves openly loyal,
are only prevented by their fears of the mili
tary tyranny and coercion which is practiced
by marauding bands of guerilla companies of
cavalry.
Learning that a large quantity of wheat
and floor was stored in Clifton, Tennessee,
intended of course to be shipped to the South,
a large portion of it haring been bought for a
firm in Memphis, on his way down he landed
there and took on board a thousand sacks and
one hundred barrels of flour, and some 6,000
bushels of wheat.
Ile also considered it his duty to take pos
session of the above, in order to prevent its
being seized by the rebels, or dispersed in
the rebel country.
The glorious sueccssett of our artuies at
Forts Henry and Donelson, he says have been
most beneficial to the Union cause throughout
south and west Tennessee and Alabama.
The Union men can. now begin to express
their loyal sentiments, without fear of being
'Dubbed, especially along the banks of the
river. lle brought down, under arrest, a man
named Wan. P. Poole, who has been active
in opposing the Union men in his community.
Ile has warned the inhabitants of the dif
re, ent towns along the banks of the river,
that he would make Secessionists and their
property respons ble for any outrages commit
ted on the Unionists in their communities,
and had enlisted seventeen men and brought
down a portion of the refugees.

W Asa xcroN, March 2.—Gen. Lander died
this afternoon at Pawpaw, Western Virginia,
from the debilitating effects of his wound, re
ceived at Edwards' Ferry. Ills body Is on
the way to this city, where his widow residas.
It is said to he clearly understood between
the allied powers, that a monarchy in Mexico
will result from the invasion of that country,
notwithstanding the assurances given to the
United States that they should not seek any
political object there.
It is believed they disposed of those assur
ances by saving that the monarchy will be
established by the free choice of the Mexican
people, just as the Empire was established in
France by the free choice of the French na
tion.
The War department refuses to transmit
any letters to the Smthern States.
Numerous passes have been given to women,
ehildren and persons in ill health to return to
their friends and families. Plisses for busi
ness purposes or to pors.ins merely desiring
to visit the South and West are invariably re
fused.
Reports from every military depot received
during the post week, represent the troops as
being in a god condition, and that there pre
vails among them a vigorous and patriotic
spirit for action in the field.
Numerous applications by regiments and
officers have been made to be released from
duty in guarding posts, and placed where they
will have an opportunity of meeting the
enemy in battle.

heavy guns on the bluff:4, but the guns on the
water batteries remain intact. He also saw
a large force of cavalry drawn up ostenta
tiously on the bluff 4, but no infantry were to
he seen,as heretofore. The encampment seen
in our armed reconnoissance. a far days since,

It is believed hero that our army has by
this time occupied Columbus.

A reasoning man at trst feels alarm
ed,'and mphlge • is to run' ftwtiSo ;
and `if' he has' no reason to stithd; he
does rim ;' hitt' at ettch'itixpb:
suN, he grows loss timid, 'and after
hearing canister and grape about his
ears a dozen tim es, begins to think lie
is not destined to be hurt. '
Ha still feels rather uneasy, perhaps;
but tlie"danger becomes faseinatink,
and, though' .he don't wish to' be hit;'lre
likes to 'havn narrow escapes ' , and so
voluntarily places himself in a position
where he can incur more' flsir.
After . ti littlo while, Ve begins to rea
son the matter; - reflects upon the doc
trine of probabilities, and how much
powder and lead is necessarily wasted
before a man is killed or wounded.--.
Why should he be, he thinks, so much
more unlucky than many other peo
ple; and he soon can hear the whiz
zing of bullets with a tolerable degree
of equanimity, though he involuntarily
dodges, or tries to dodge, the cannon
balls or shells that go howling around
his immediate neighborhood. In the
afternoon he is quite a different crea
ture from what he was in the morning,
and involuntarily smiles to see a man
betray the same trepidation which he
himself exhibited a few hours before.
The more ho is exposed to fire, the
better he can bear it; and the timid
being of to-day is the hero of to-mor
row ; and he who runs from danger on
the first battle-field will run into it on
the next, and court the hazard he once
so dreaded.
Thus courage, as it is styled, is' lit
tle more with most men than custom
and•they learn to despise What has of
ten threatened without causing them
harm. If Wounded, they learn wouhds
are lesS painful to bear thari . they bird
supposed, and then the doctrine of
probabilities teaches them once more
they are less liable to be wounded
again. So the mental process goes on
until the Nerves become by degrees
the subjects of Will ; and he only fears
who has not the will to be brave.
