their appears to ise,a certainty of the with

hear of the lst Brigade-Ist, 2d, Bth and
12th or Bucktail Regiments—to which the
Fifth was formerly attached, having reached
Alexandria, where they are to be stationed.
The Second and Third Brigades, the latter
commanded by Col. Fisher have doubtless
before this time reached their place of des
tioation—Waihington, '.probably, .or some
point in the vicinity. We hope these splen
did regiments may speedily succeed in refill
ing their ranks, and again take the field
against the Rebels to whom they have so
repeatedly proven the folly of the rld seces
qiun boast of superior courage and powers.
We question whether the soldier now exists
in the rebel ranks who will rank himself as
equal to more than one of the Pennsylvania
Reservee.
The order of General Reynolds, detaching
the Ilcserves from bie Corps, to report to
Gen. Heintz°linen, at Alexandria, closeses
follows:
"In separating 'from the 'Pennsylvania
Reserve Corps, with which the Contutund
ing.Geoeral has been so closely allied fur
the
.past eighteen months, ho cannot but ex
press his deep regrets. They are, however,
lessened .by the tobpethat soon their thinned
ranks will be tilled, and they, once more
restored and reorganized, will be returned
to the ti'ld prepared to add new lustre to a
name already endeared to our patriotic

MR4. ANY LIWRKT : —The box sent by

to hand last Thursday, and I assure you at
a most opportune moment, na a number of
invalids had come in a few days previous
most of whom were very destitnte a cloth

them we gave everything we tied in tho way
of clothing, so shut until the arrival of your

of en.ckiiige. I went mostly through the
hospital tv distribute the articles, awl only
regret you were not with me to see how
thankful the poor fellows Were. Many of
them not having had a change in five or ski
weeks, having lost all at Fredericksburg.
We have received several boxes this winter.
but to the L•idies of Columbia, we award
the palm of knowing how to get one up, for
we consider it " The Box." Please present
to them my thanks on behalf of the North
Baltimore Relief Association, and the suf . - '
fering soldiers of llcKim's Hospital. Our
ladies still labor as zealously ns eve-, and
our interest in the wurk in:de:L.l.f declining
increa'e', There are now over four hun
dred patients in the hospital; fur about one
hundred of the number we prupitre all the
articles of diet and furnish them out of our
funds not only with the delicacies, but many
of the substuntials necessary fur their cum
fort.
Our library is quite Intrishing. the chap
lain believes it has a must beneficial effect
upon the men, as it has almost entirely su
perseded card playing. I wish, however
our friends would send us more miscellane
ous works, fur we find the convalescents in
quire oftner fur histories, books of travels,

I suppose it is but natural to want theta as
it is a monotonous life. With my best

Army Correspondence
CAIIP OPPOSITE FREDERICE.SUURG, VA., }
February &h, 1863.
DEAR Srr:—.ln my last I promised not to
write again until something bad turned up
worth writing about. Since then, Burnside.
has been reinored, Sumner and Franklin re
tired. and Hooker appointed to the command'
of the Army of the Potomac. The Penna.
Reserves have gone. to IVashington; and,
better than all, we are under orders and
about starting again for the South. One
division of our Corps has already gone—we
are to bring up the rear, and expect to be
off to morrow or next day. We go to For
tress Monroe, and thence South: when we
arrive, I will write you of our whereabouts.
I am truly glad to get out of this Army of
the Potomac; glad too to getout of the mud,
and gn where we can get rations and cloth
ing. 4er experience is that the nearer
troops aro to Washington, the nearer they
are to nakedness nod starvation. What
rascality leaves undone in that line, red
tape finishes up. We bid goad-bye to the
Army of the Potomac; other Corps may de
light in it and Virginia mud; I never could
see the point.
We are still enjoying good health—the
sick list of our regiment is but nine to-day:
none of them rare seriously ill. Since my
last we have bud two deaths in the regiment
—privates Ross, of Company C,
county, and Christian Shank, of Bainbridge,
Company B, Lancaster county. We Inset,
also had one real live deserter—the only
genuine deserter since the organization of
the regiment Five of our men, when march
ing through Washington in September, un
fortunately got tight and could not overtake
the regiment: fearing punishment they have
managed to remain absent without leave
ever since. The deserter is no less a per
sonage than my old chum Roine, of Com
pany K. Just before the last forward move
went he managed to get citizens clothes and
during a dark night sloped. I hope he will '
nut disgrace Columbia by his presence. If
ho dues don't let bins stay. We don't want
him back in the Company, but cannot bear
the idea of having our town disgraced. Ile
was recently reduced to the ranks (from ist
Sergt.) fur getting drunk, at least so read
the order. It is more than hinted however.
that the real cause was for getting out of
breath when ordered into the battle at S etas
Mountain. The Colonel has bad him spot
ted since then. This being the only case
of deliberate desertion from our regiment,
I have noticed it at length.
Our Colonel sent a recruiting party to Co
lumbia several months ago: not having re
ceived the recruits or hearing from the party,
it is supposed that they too have doffed the
uniform and become citizens. Another
party will be sent soon to open an office, as
rumor says the new draft will create a spirit
of patriotism among your citizens. We have
room fur a few of them. ills anything
been done towards enlisting the Tow-Ilillers
under the Stevens Bill? Mild is cunning.
By this bill he settles many points, and rids
the free States of free tiegroes- The good
and brave darkies will enlist, be sent to the
front, and thence to 'rhe rest to avoid
the draft, will run fur Canada or role co,tri
ly. flurry up the draft and harry up the
soldiers—black or white: let thorn come:
Rebel bullets and bayonets are not reqpect

posed to black soldiers, lot them come them
selves—or hold their peace.
The paymaster has nut arrived. lam in
formed that the troops will not be paid un
til March or April, the $L00,000,000 will be
consumed in settling up to let of November.
Our regiment was paid to that time, in No

of any pay fur sums weeks. We don't
grumble at the government fur not paying
us promptly—we can do without money our

PHILADZLPHIS, Feb. B.—The splendid
English iron steamer Princess Royal, cap
tured of Charleiton by oar bloelading feet.
arrised here this afternoon Gll the nay
Yard, in charge of Acting Master Edward
Venice, with a prize crew. She brings
highly important intelligence fry= t he
Southern eoast, both as relates to her cap
ture and the Rebel attack on aur Wattling,
sq u eaten off Charleston, showittg,cottelosive
Id that there is no foundation for the assump
tion Of the Rebels that the blockade of Charles
ton was ever raised by the departure of the
(Jailed States fleet.
Oily two vessels out of the eight or the
eight or ten blockading the port were dis
abled and obliged to leave. Not a vessel
was sunk or captured by the Rebels.
It appears from the statement of an intel
ligent eye-witness that the cause of this
attack of the Rebel rims on our squadron
was owing to the capture by us of the Eng
lish steamer Princess Royal, the Captain
and Pilot of that vessel having eseaped
ashore during the darkness of the night and
communicated intelligence to the enemy.
The princess Royal, as already stated,
endeavored to run the blockade by way of
Beach Inlet on the 29th but was discovered
by the pilot boat Blunt, and on the signal
being given the gunboat Unadilla procee l
ed towards her and captured the valuable
prize without any other assistance. It was
then discovered that the Captain 'and Pilot
had succeeded in getting ashore by theit
smell boat, carrying with them important
despatches for the Rebel G••vernment.
The Mercedita carried her prize to the
Housatonic and laid there till daylight, when
the thunder of heavy guns heard accomp
anied by short flashes of firing. It wits at
first supposed that WI: fleet were engaged
in making other capture+, or thut the Rebel
pirate steamers Alabama or Florida might
be endeavoring-to force an entrance.
At daybreak two Rebel iron-clads were
seen coming slowly from the direction of
Steno Inlet towards our fleet. They attack
ed the Mercedita first; one struck her on the
water edge, keeling her over, and at the
same time fired a shot which entered one of
her boilers, causing the death of three per
sons, iaeluding a gunner, by the combined
effects of the shot and steam.

The Rebel ram then hailed the Mercedita,
and C.tptaio Stellwegen lowered one of his
small boats, after leaving one of the plugs
out to allow the water to enter it. The ram
answered our hail by replying, "Confeder
ate ram Palmetto State. Do you surrender!"
This was repeated throe times. Cup'ain
Stellvragen at each inquiry replying, "I am
in a sinking condition." The Itebcls
answered, "Cod—you to—, if yon don't
surrender we will blow you out of the water
—send your boat aboard."
The boat which Captain Stellwagen low
ered then conveyed his Lieutenant and
Executive officer to the side or the Rebel
ram, and the officer asked to be admitted
aboard. This was refused.
The Lieutenant then repented Captain
S•ellwagea's statement that they were in a
sinking condition. The Rebel officer replied,
"Yuu can't sink lower titan the rails. We
cannot take you aboard." The officer then
gave his parole as demanded and returned
to hie ship. The Rebels were then success
fully deceived - as to the condition of the
ereedita, thinking she was in n sinking
condition. 5443 laid in shoal water. mid
hence their reply that she could not sink
lower than her rails. 'rho • ram now
steamed to wards the Keystone State and
sent a shot through her steam drum, causing
the death of twenty-one persons, twelve by
the shot and Hine by being scalded by the
escaping steam. Fifteen were wounded and
are now lying nt Port Royal, some in a
precarious condition.
In the meantime the United States gun
boat llousaronic engaged the other ram,
driving her away, and at G./ o'clock in the
morning both rains left the scene and pro
ceeded up tu Charleston. During this attack
on the fleet, the Princess Royal, which laid
near the asusatenie, and which was 1710
doubt the chief object of the Itebels, succeed
ed in getting off, mainly through the energies
of Third Assistant Engineer Thurston, who
piled into her fires all the inflatursable
material at hand to get up a gond head of
steam, and her escape is no doubt chiefly
owing to his endeavors, as well as her sure
arrival at this port, notwithstanding the
severe gale which prevailed on the coast
during tier passage from Port Royal.
Although supplied with inferior coal
instead of anthracite, with which our navy
is supplied, she made ten knots an hour on
her trip with case in the heaviest weather.
Her usual rate of speed is fifteen knots.

During the daytime our blockading fleet

of the vessels sailed toward the Keystone

she wanted any assistance, This may ac
count fur their apparent absence at the
time of the visit of the foreign Consuls as

SAILING or 125 VESSELS FROM BEAUFORT,
N. C.—Bosrox, Mass., February 9.—A New
ham correspondent, who has just returned
from Beaufort, N. C., lifrites under date of
the 31st ultimo, as follows:
The sailing of the expedition for, I believe
Charleston harbor, was one of the grandest
sights I ever witnessed. The fleet consisted
of obout 125 sail of vessels: steamers, trans
posts, tugs and sch-ooners.
At about II o'clock on the 30th ofJanua
ry the sails of the ratios small craft were
loosened, and silently, one by one, in close
order, they glided from the harbor. Next
followed in rapid succession the steamers,
stare-ships, transports, tugs, and all. It
was a magnificent sight—one long line of
vessels, crowded with troops cheering. The
bands were playing and the colors stream
ing from the masts.
I counted seventy-eight schooners and
store-ships, and thirty-two steamers, con
taining a very large body of troops, At
dark the vessels were still passing the forts.
The, gunboat Daylight had reached More
head City front the blockading squadron off
Charleston. The officers of this vessel re
port that the iron gunboats Passaic and
Montauk, a number of mortar vessels were
at anchor in Bull's Bay, near Charleston,
when they left.
The 4th Massachusetts regimeot, and
some other regiment at Newborn, had been
ordered on another expedition, which was to
start on the morning of Feb. Ist.
