We have been ordered North, and in afewhonrif
wo shall be on our way from this land of swamps,
mosquitoes, rebels, and every other thing yite and
villainous, at which we are by no means sorry. To:
say we are going North; is about synonymous with
saying we are going home; and so the soldiers
speak of it and regard it.'
Last night, our regiment slept for the last time
on the soil of South Carolina, and this morning
hundreds are enjoying a final plunge in tho boiling
surf, as it comes rolling, and tumbling, and roaring,
far up the beach at Hilton Head; In truth, all
seem glad of the movement that will carry them
once more somewhat within the pale of home influ
ences and home scenes. No wonder, poor follows !
Theirs has been a toilsome, dangerous life, battling
not only against a wary, treacherous foe, but also
against malaria, and disease in its mostfataland
terrific forms.
AH will not return. Mmy will remain to slum
ber on in a dreamless repose, beside the moaning
sea, while we are far away; engaged,’ perhaps, in
scenes of danger elsewhere. How can we leave
them, lone in the lowly Bands, without dropping
the tear of sorrow upon their honored, peaceful
graves? They came forth In a sacred and noble
cause—they have faithfully served their country—
they have won more than a mere hero'sjproudost
laurels; peace to .their sacred ashes !
We say we have been ordered North, but our
exact destination is at present unknown. Indeed,
as far as we are concerned, this should have been
ordered long ago, seeing that there is no force ne
cessary for holding these several points, except a
few gunboats, which are effectual barriers to its
future occupancy by tho rebels. Ail that we can
see thathas been accomplished is the decimation of
onr ranks, by disease and the enemy’s shot and'
shell, without our gaining anything of importance
As for Charleston, a few iron-olad gunboats can
take that at any moment, with ‘hut trifling loss, if
any; and tho taking of that involves,“of course,
the taking of James Island, where our infantry lost
so heavily. \ » ’
* .The fact is evident that a. decisive victory
gained by us at Richmond, or thereabouts, involves
the solution of this war, inasmuch as the enemy’s
whole energies are either now donoentrating. or
will be finally concentrated there. Let us meet
them, there—not here, where nothing can prove;.of
any moment; .let ushave a force.entirely adequate
to every possible doniingonoy, and then- let this
horrid rebellion be crushed and scattered to the
winds so far that its dismembered fragments can
never again be united. How do the authorities of
large cities suppress mobs and riots? Not by call-,
ing out a handful of men to meet a maddened host,
but by an overpowering force promptly suppress
ing it
Months ago'we. should' have, had a force in'the
field able to scorn all opposition, and, by so doing,
the present month;might have seen our country
once more gladdened with .thebeams of peace.
“ Procrastination is the thief of time,” even in.a
military point of view. Whether Lt- it amler io
-huUda bridge with one man in a hundred days,or
with a hundred men in one day? : It wiilnot re
quire a moment’s thought to decide in favor of the
latter plan; such should have been the plan of re
duoing the present rebellion.
ipeelal Partners.
The army has been c&lledout infragmentary
squads, and over and anonthey are melting away
before the concentrated -strength and the rapid
movements of the enemy. We have been forgetful
of the firmly established truth that “in union
' there is strength.”
Shore is also strength in numbers. What if it
take every «(aa able to bear arms in the United
States three months to crush this rehellion; better
to oaU them out at onoe, leaving the women at home
to do tho farming, which, patriots as they are, they
wHI be very willing to do—than to prostrate all
things by a war of three years. Everything for the
cause; nothing that will with the faintest whisper
tolerate men or measures giving longer existence
to treason. Let hemp, if it be nooessary, do its
work in the North, wherever traitors are found,
and lot an overwhelming force and plenty of gun
powder bo brought to bear upon the congregated
rebel hordes of the South. Then, this miserable
abortion will linger on no longer; it will be ended
surely and speedily, thus saving time, money,
honor, and thousands of valuable lives to tho Go
vernment: ■ ■ ■
While the war lingers in this manner, many un

tracted agonies, and deliberately exhausting its
energies. Thoirmaxim ie, tliat the longer the
war lasts the longer they will sport their hojwrs ,
and Vie more money they will mahe ; all of which
is only too true, {fake a view, if yon please, of

mission' to any man for suoh purposes of villainy ?
Verily, her object is to protect, encourage, and
honor her soldiery, rather than give men liberty to
oppress or degrade them. Good, and humane
officers are worthy of all due honor, and every good
soldier's delight is to renior it to them. We are
fortunate, to. have good- and kind officers—-men who

What a wonderful amount of todious'and often
unnecessary manoeuvring there is connected with
all our army movements!— Some days since, an
order came to Beaufort, where we had jutt pitched
our camp, for our-removal to the North. Accord
ingly, with ail due celerity, working byday and
embarking at midnight,' we dropped' down the
channel to Hilton Head, there to await further
orders. - How, this waiting meant nothing 'more
nor less than lying amid'the arid, scorohing sands,
beneath the burning sky, for three days, without
any protection ; although; at the-same
time, there were ample accommodations for several
regiments but a few rods distant; but, somewhat
unfortunately for the toil-worn soldier, these arc
all required to hold the various clerks, agents, and
other knights of, “ red tapeism,” even though they
may be capacious and unoccupied. Now, eonoorn
ing all this, we believe the Government knows"
nothing. It does not dream that while it is pro
viding amply for the comfort and austenanco of its
soldiery—its dearest possession, ahd.its only hope-p
-that other jhands make quite a different disposition
of its friendly resources. '“ :
To inform you fully of- our-many marches and
countermorohes—of our nightly - fatigues and our

lying out in tho sun and rain andjdewff of heaven,
upon the sand's of Hilton Headj for a time, some
two thousand of us, inoluding our regiment and the
46th Hew York, Were embarked, j>r, to apeak more

of the now and untried propel&r “ Morritn-ae!”

there was-not a drop of waterto drink forforty
.eight hoists before we disembarked , to say nothing
of all the other distressing ahd’ekeeedingly degra

chattels was reduced! . - - f
Whose fault is all this? It cannot he the fault of
tho Government, for’itia abundantly evident that'
it has not only provided good, safe, and * substantial

-that they shall be oarried in a comfortable manner.

and the tears of anguish flowing for away for- as?'
Some one is, and would have been. Responsible for

point, from these elysianretreats, cannot be denied;
at least,' so it was on board the MOrrimao. Yet we
oannot feel surprised at all this, inasmuch as their
.money is paid for it, and all arrangements are made
'accordingly, whether by permißsiqn of Government
or not, we do not pretend to say. At any rate, sol
diers are men ; soldiers, are citizens; they are.not

leaf, the eagle, or the star, asio be regarded mere
ly as chattels, or to receive, the quarters or accom
modations of brutes. Our soldiers need to be en
couraged and exalted, rather than depressed and
degraded. Our rank and file is , made up of the
bone and sinew of the land, and .contains mind and
intellect, which revolts at the idea of degradation—
in fact, how can it tamely submit;to any such pro
cess? Other .nations, may successfully'resort to
this as the first step in the making of a soldier, but
in this land of general enlightenment and liberty,
this cannot he done; an opposite course must .be
'pursued.? -v'/.' ,
How that we have, in a miraoulous manner, been
preserved from a stormy Jund yawning deep; and
have been permitted to land from our worse than
prison, and; have, moreover, established ourselves
, comfortably once more at this place, we have room
to reflect on all the .dangers that we have escaped,
and. to be thankful for it to a merciful Providence
alone. How glad; we were to; see sthe first hill,
crowned with sturdy oaks and swinging vines, re

GOV. JOHNSON’S COURSE OF'ACTION.' 1 '
/ Governor Johnson has'been exceedingly , lenient
and conciliatory to tho people of Tennessee, since
his arrival here. He has frequently announeed. to
them teat he oame.“ with the olive branch in one
hand and the Constitution in,the other.?’ His pur
pose was to renew friendly relations between the
- State and the Government, bylmeans which would
be most pleasant to the citizens and most agreea
ble to himself. In the accomplishment of this ob
ject, he offered every inducement and facility to
the people, and this, would have continued to. be
his policy-had not the countenance and encourage
ment of the guerilla raids; by their Secession sym
pathizers changed it. But, since ho has seen that
Secessionists rejoice over the fact that Union citi
zens are seized and carried away from- their
homes by marauders; that depredations of
every, character - and description are commit
ted , bridges: burned, railroad tracks torn , up,
houses fired, defenceless, villages invaded and
i’their inhabitants subjected to insults and out
rages upon their persons and property—since
he haß seen all; this, and,more, hehas-reso ved
to try what virtue there is in a more stringent po
licy. When he di&overa that his mercy has been
abused, that bis tenderness for human suffering is
made the incentive to additienal injury, that his
leniently only emboldenß instead of pacifying the
enemies of tho Government, he intends, hereafter,
to exercise rigid severity; to toaoh those enemies
that'this is a Government of power, whoso laws
must .be observed, whose flag- must be respected,
and whose people must arid shall be protected ini
their persons and property, and whoever in these
shall fail must inour-the penalties which offended
justice prescribes and requires. - Hereafter; every
man will find dt ; his interest as well aa his duty to
deport himself as a loyal,citizen, and In this-will,
his only safety consist., , Any person acquainted
with Governor Johnson, with his iron -will, his de
termined resolution, knows, that when he takes a
position he will maintain it . . . .
COURSE OF GOV. ISHAM G. HARRIS.
Before the fall of Fort Donelsoff,- the rebel Go
vernor, Isham G. Harris, addressed our' oitizens in
■ various speeches,' whioh,' for gasconade, fustian;
• ribaldry, and : bombastio?deolam"ation,' have seldom
been equalled. : He would bo wilting to sacrifice
sis life a thousand times,-«if it were consistent with
my fhisj vital tenure and physical organization,”
in defenceof Nashville. For it' he Would** effuse”
the last drop of his heart’s bihod ;■ and, if driven by
the enemy to tho “last ditch, ’’ there would he die,
“with his took to the ground, and hia feet to the
foe.” Finally, Donclson fell; and it was reported
that General Shell was approaching Nashville from'
Bowling Gioen. Harris mounted his splendid'
charger, ran through the streets of Nashville, tell
ing his friends the frightful tidings;'and rushed
from'here, with his-feci to the foe, and his feet—\
in his horse’s flanks, ilt was : nearly two weeks
afterwards before a Federal soldier appeared. This'
begira of Harris was » mortifyinf to his Secession
diseiples, that when the news came that Murfrees*'
hero’ was taken, and overwhelming forces of “ Con
federates” yore: approaching this city in-: different:
directions, they reported that Governor Johnson
Bad fied ; that he left on .Sunday afternoon, then:
Sunday night, then Monday morning. • But what
was the truth? Governor Johnson, immediately
upon-the reception of the startling intelligence, re
paired to the Capitol, and there quietly and coolly
remained; counselling- with the military officers,
and issuing orders, and giving directions for the
defence of the city, resolved to die rather than
surrender'the Capitol. ,Nb doubt a large reward
would be given by those marauders for the head of
opr nqble Governor, but none of them have the
courage to come and take it.

"What could haye.been their object ? It eertaioly
meant,.more than simply to gratify a, desire to
make nn inoursidn into. Tennessee. The truth is
hat thismay.hayebeeln, in part, the motive cause;
but there are other and greater reasons., They
wanted; medical and.' commissary ‘stores.; they
- wanted' recruits ; they wanted arms; they wanted
horses, v &c. { but, abdve all, they Wanted to make
a diversion eo as to conceal some other movement of
greater moment; -and if they could make it appear
that the cavalry was only the advance-guard of a
large force threatening Nashville,. Louisville, and
other places, it woald withdraw Attention from their
real object; it Would . concentrate, forces in Tennes

accomplish their purpose. Whatever this purpose
t is, it is certainly not to retake. Tennessee or ro
! occupy Kentucky;’ it is .either .to reduce the
strength of General Buell, to prevent reinforce
ments being sent to Yirginia, or conceal some move
ment about to be made there. 0 therwise, the em
ployment of such- large numbers of cavalry to so
little purpose is foolish land stupid. I regard it,
however; as an infallible index of greater things
elsewhere,and which may take as all aback. It indi-:
oatea, also, that whatever may have been the policy
of the rebels heretofore, it isnow entirely changed

' On last Monday afternoon, when the rebels were
momentarily expeoted to attack the city, a large
■number of the citizens assembled at the Capitol for
the purpose of effecting an immediate military or

They did not seek personal safety by flight, but de

was no sacrifice which they wore unwilling to make

It appears that much censure attaches; to the 3d
Minnesota and 9th Michigan regiments for their
surrender. It seems,that the regiments did ■ not
agree,' and did not co-operate in the action; that
Succeesful roEistance could Jiave beeninadß-ifrit

escaped, go so far as to impute cowardice to one of
the colonels commanding, and declare that the ene
my was whipped at the time that he sent in a flag
of truce demanding a surrender, and. that the only
object which,the rebels had in sending the flag was
to obtain tinie toeffeot a retreat; and that the re-.'
bels wore no less astonished than were our men at
the surrender. * , .
How the facts really were, will soon be brought
to light, as all the' privates were paroled within a
few'miies of McMinnville, and many of them have
arrived in tho city.

snpposed to have been killed, came in to-day,

FROM GENERAL CURTIS’ DIVISION,
Its Arrival at Helena—Account of-the March
from Uatesville—A Fight at Mound ’Hill—
A Forced March,
Memphis, July 16;—At last, after long weeks of im
patient waiting and watching.on the part of the public,
and the mort strenuous exertions on the part of the mili
tary authorities, aided and assisted by the naval force,
and after the expedition ;up V7hite river had -proved a
failure, while the utter ruin and devastation of his army
was almost a sure thing, we have reliable Information
that General Curtis and: hiß entire army are safe at
Helena, Arkansas, having arrived there yesterday"'
Tfaia important and heart-cheering information was
brought , to the city to*day, at 2 P. M., by Quartermas
ter F.’S. Winslow, of General Curlla* staff;’ This gentle
man, came for supplies for the army, which were badly
needed, the men and officers of the command not haring
had one day of full rations since January last. For some
months they have been subsisting on three-quarter
rations, and Buffering from *a great scarcity of water,
The last information received from General Gurtls was
nearly a month since, through a telegraphic despatch to
Haileck He was then at Batesville, and on
short rations. >
THE MAReHJPROM BATESVILLE.
On the 24th of June, General Curtis, having waited
long and patiently for the supplies his command so badly
needed, and which Colonel Fttcb and his brave Indiana
troops were periling Hfe, health, and everything in the
endeavor to furnish him moved his army from Batesville,
determined to strike across,the country and within reach
of the Mississippi, where he>supposed General Grant to
be, or be exterminated in the trial. All along the coun
try through which the command was obliged to mirch,
the soldiers were ,greatly annoyed by bushwhackers and
guerillas. They were not in large force, but in small
bands of from thirty to one or two hundred* and their
aim is to harass pickets at night, and cut off and kill
or capture stragglers in the rear of the van. They had
gone but about foity *miles from Batesville, and were
at a point or plantation called Grand Glalze* when a de
tachment of the 3d-lowa cavalry, which chanced to be
in advance, was attached by a superior force, their uum
here, after a severe struggle, were driven back to the
main body, and Lieutenant Griswold and two privates’of
the cavalry killed. On the day succeeding this skirmish.

force arrived at Clarendon—where they were un
happily preceded by twenty-foor hours by Col. Fitch,
still bunting for them—on the 2d of July. There they
certainly expected to find government supplies and de
spatches, but they were doomed to disappointment—none
were there. Finding no transports or provision’s at that
point, General Curtis determined to push forward to the
Mississippi A force was sent out from Clarendon, with
the -Intention of reaching tHeleha, at the month of the*
Arkansas, The order was shortly afterward given, and
the entirearmy moved. On the 7th instant, by a straage
coincidence, only one day after Coll Fitch had engaged a
portion of Hindman’B force, eight milesfrom St Charles,
in the forenoon, as Colonel Hovey was in the advance at
the head of eight companies of infantry; the 83d Illinois,
or Normal regiment, and a few cavalry, he was attacked
by 2,000 rebels under General .Albert Bust.' A battle
ensued which it would be useless to attempt to describe
It was or abort duration, brilliantly carried on, bravely,
fought by the Federal force, and brought to a success
ful termination, the enemy retreating inglorlously, leav
ing, their dead upon the fisld-to the number of HO. •
It was a perfect rout. The rebels did not dare to return
to tbe charge, and Boon thereafter the main arihy ar
rived upon the spot. The fight took place near Round
Hill, between Clarendon and Augusta: 5,600 rebels, re
ported near at hand, kept themselves well concealed.
THE- JOURNEY CONTINUED..
After burying the dead, and attending to our own
forees, the march wob resumed. In the brief engage
ment alluded to above, brave Major CleodeniD; tf-the
33d Illinois, was mortally wounded, and Captain Sloane,
of the same command, instantly killed. It was a sorrow
ful but necessary duty to leave the bodies on the battle
ground, buried apart from those of their late rebel foe •
THE FORCED MARCH;
With an escort of 2,603 cavalry, inclading tho 9th Illi
nois, 33tb Hlineis, and sth Illinois, Quartermaster Wins
low started from Clarendon at eleven o’clock, on the Hth
inst, and after a forced march of sixtv-five mileß, with
out a drop of water for men or horses,-arrived at Helena
at neon on the 12th— a forced march unprecedented in the
annals of this war. The escort, was commanded by Col.
o;- O. Washburne, of Wisconstoi to whom credit should
be given for baviog made the fastest time, over the worst
country, on record. But Helena was reached. Helena
proved for once a haven of rest Their eyes were greeted
with the eight cf'old. Mississippi, and their hearts were
once more rejoiced. Therebtl cavalry located ia the rear*
of Helena retreated, and did not give the Federals battle.
Yesterday, the entire army arrived at the same point
The difficulty had been overcome, the couatt y had been
crossed, Helena, tbe Mississippi, civilization, had been
reached— Chicago Tribune. 1

. YEEY^SHARP.—.A San Francisco paper states: Over
a year. ago a wealthy Secessionist went to the Easfcfrom
this city, and recently, returned and went to Washo,
where he owns rather largely in mining stocks. Recently:
a dr spatch was sent from the authorities at Washington
relative to the seizure of his’property and person, as
they, ascertained that he contributed to the outfit of the
rebel privateer Sumpter. f The despatch -was received,
; but the property had all heeni disposed of just in the nick
of tiue. lt seems that certain parties over the mountains
are guilty of tapping the, telegraph wires, and, in this,
manner, the rebel in queation became possessed of the
Governmentdespatch. and immediately telegraphed to-hut:
agent in. this city to dispose of all his property on the

went to Washington. ,

• We received intelligence by telegraph and train from
hesnigton, on Salnrday of the enrpriee and total ront of
John .Morgan’* forces by Gen. Green Clay Smith and
Col. Metcalfe, near Paris, on Saturday morning. We re
ceived very few details beyond the fact that Gen Smith
left Lexington at midnight on Friday, mid surprised tha
marauders who were-encamped on the'Hon.. Garrett
Davis fann.- Gen. Smith’s command embraced about
ore thousand cavalrymen and two pieces of field artil
lery. Morgan’s loss is reported by telegraph to be ten in
killed, and twelve in prisoners, his fores fleeing toward
Winchester, Clark connty, leaving their baggage behind,
being hoUy parsued. by Gen. Smith. There were no
casualties in Gent Smith's command. Gen. Boyls re
ceived later information last evening, which leads him to
bslievetbat the rebel root was more disastrous thaa at
fleet reported. • *

. Versailles, July 15, 1862—1 t is a source of great
mortificatfOß to anuonoce to yon the fact that the »* vir
gin soil ’ 5 of Woodford has been desecrated by the vandal
tread of tbe veritable Morgan and his ragamuffin thieves
and lend pirates. On Monday it was known that he and
about one thousand cavalry had creßsed the Kentucky
river from. Lawrenceburg, and intended to attack us
that night. As we were entirely defenceleas, not even
so much as a pop-gun, three of our most influential citi
zens set out to meet him on the way, and to make terms
for our protection, to sue for mercy and for quarter.
They met Morgan about four miles from town, and a
parky ensued, which-resulted in the agreement that ha
should-occupy the town, feast upon our bounty, protect
the citizen in his person and his property, and leave tho
place next morning without molestation. In due time
they came iu formidable array, and such a motley, dirty,
vagabond-lookiDg pet of humanity my eyes never beheld,
and language would fall to adequately portray—fit sub
jects to do the dirty work of their vocation They wero
feasted and caressed.by tbe rebel sympathizers, male and
female, in a manner worthy of men engaged in a better
cause.
Did Morgan keep his word to proteetprivate property ?
Pshaw, not he t: Four, thousand dollars would not pay
the amount of his stealing, in horses, buggies, &c. Hot
a Obion man within his reach eseaped him. ‘ He took
ffom O. O. Smifber, who.has a livery stable, , six horses,
two buggies, end three seto-of harness, ana that, too,
after stabling and feeding a large number of horses, free
of charge, and to rob him. of hie property was b deed of
the deepeetperfidy;and rascally swimlliug; a .flnehorsa
from Hon. J. K. Gocdloe; six horses from Oapt. William
Genett, and from numerous other from Zob.

[From tho Louisville Journal of July 21st.
'The steamer Commercial arrived hero yesterday, and
J. W'. Green gives ns Ihe latest news from the lower Ohio.
When tbe Commercial waa ot West. Franklin, twelve
mile'B: below-'Henderson, her captain .received in
formatfon that the rebels had re-occupled'Henderson,
and that it would be dangerous for her to proceed. He
accordingly, fell down stream twelve miles to Mount
Yernou, and gent Mr. Green to Evanßvilte. to ascertain
the truth of the rumors, and see if it would be safe to
prosecute the passage. Mr. Green found the affair
exaggerated and sent down, word by the Tycoon, which
toduced.the Eugene, Commercial, and Lebanon to leave
Mount Vernon, where they bad remained on Thursday
night Oa Thunday afternoon, about four-o’clock, a
messenger reached Evansville from Newberg, stating
that a rebel party from the Kentucky ride had crossed
the river and robbed the hospital there of medical stores,
bla>kets, and other property. The Euseue and Courier
were orcered up to the spot with troops, but the thieves
had dtcamped with their.plunder before, they could bo
reached - .
The Commercial brought up to this city fifty* two re
cruits, who go to Nashville. The Courier passed her on
tbe way up, and was fired upon near the mouth of Green
river by a mounted gang of guerillas, but without da
mage, and she passed up the rmr to her destination.
Tho Commercial was also fired upou, probably by the
same econndrelß. at McAllister’s Landing, two miles be
low Newburg. «»Nobody hurt ” It is time that such
woik was stopped. We suggest to Gen. Boyle thatagun
boat near this infected district might dose the guerillas
with a few iron pills, which might prove a very efficacious
remedy for their.dlstemper.
We find some additional particulars.of these affairs in
tbe Evansville Journal , whibh says when the news that
A. B, Johnson’* marauders had crossed the river to New
buig bad reached this place, the signal of danger was at
enco given, and in less than an hear I}ooo meu wore
under arms, and.cannon were.rattling through tho
streets The city, which has been in a most lamentable
state of torpor for months, wa* thoroughly aroused, and
every man.who com. get a musket, rifle, shot gun..or
revolver, was at once under arms, and' hundreds were
eagerly seeking weapons for aggression or defence. The
alacrity , with which the citizens responded gave most
cheering evidence that when convinced of danger they
are equal to any emergency.
A company of-infantry, with a. squad of artillery, with
two guns, bft on board the Eugene at half past five
o’clock for Newburg. Captain Dexter had the Cou
rier fired up with all despatch, and, having aimed hie
o ew, with a small SQuad, of infantry, steamed up the
river.. He was fearfully in earnest, and declared his de
termination to prevent ihe rebelß from recrossing the
riverif they were found tiiis aide, and to use the Courier"
as a ram in casoof. need. The Eugeno made excellent
time, also, and, with guns oh each guard, aud decka
cri vdc d. with. men, made a formidable appearance.
.A Union soldier arrived from Newburg after dark on
Tknrsday night; He says the rebels numbered'thirty
two nien. They stole all.the arms and (quipmenta to be
toued, .a lot of provisions, paroled all th* Union soldiers
in the hospital, stole a wagon and two- horsesi and tbeu'
reciqsscd, the river. Two men; residents of Newborg,
who were notorious Seceeh sympathizers, and who came
<vr the river with the guerillos,'and remained when thel
latter returned, were shat down and killed by a citizen.
Ibrir l ames were Carney and Mefierd.
j The Courier, at the month of ; Green river, found the
boat in which tie marauders crossed the river, and took
posMsrioDof it. A man on the pofnt, dressed in a red.
