The following correspondence will afford both amusement and wholesome instruction. It explains itself fully : Johnsons’ Island, Sandusky, Ohio, 1 June lltb, 1863. j W. G, Broicnlow . DeaK 'Sir —l have been at this place a week, a prisoner of war. I was taken on the field of Champion Hill, consequently herewith-* out funds. The collaterals which I held as principal owner of the Marietta Paper Mill Company, was never paid by Kinsloe & Kice, of Knoxville, in your favor. Will you oblige me by sending a draft "to this place for any part of the sum you may think proper, and give direction as to the manner of credit on ao -count? Very Respectfully, Mr. C. D. Phillips: Tour verystrange and unexpected note of the lllh inst., was forward ed to' me at this place, by my wife, at Cincin nati ! From your note I learn several things, and infer others. , I learn that you are a pris oner of waf, at Johnson's Island—that you were captured at thq battle of Champion Hill, on the sacred soil of the South—that you are -out of funds, &c. I infer that you are an offi cer in the Hebei army—that you have gone forth, like thousands of other deluded and in furiated Southerners, at the bidding of your corrupt leaders, in search of your rights—that you nave in part found your rights—notin the “ Territories,”, but on Johnson’s Island, and would be willing to retire from this un called-for war, and engage in the more honor able, and certainly more.profitable business of paper-making, I am not prepared to say what you mean by the “ collaterals” furnished you by Kinsloe & Rice, of Knoxville, in my favor. You have certainly intended your note for some one else. Kinsloe & Rice were a Publishing firm—dealt largely with you in the paper line, and failed while they were the Publishers of the Presby terian Witness and the Knoxville Register. I was never the partner of these men, or their security, except on some small bills in bank. I hold the note of that firm for about Five Hun dred Dollars. I would like to-have the money, and I really need it, but I have not thought of calling upon you to pay it; although I could do sd with as good a grace as you could call upon me to pay -you a debt of theirs. I have no doubt these gentleman could now pay ns both, if we would receive the worthless paper issues of the bogus Confederacy. , 1 would not give ten cents per bushel for such money. You might pass it off among yonr Vallandighatn the-vicinity of Sandusky. If 1 were you, I woBH-call upon toy Copperhead friends at ths North, for a ioan. They are with you in your war upon the Government, and ought to be willing to relieve your present necessities. They' are not as honorable, patristic, or as brave as yon are. Yon have {shown your devotion to yonr cause; and yonr infamous principles; by shouldering your musket, going into the field, WHILE THERE SHALL HE A WRONG UNRIGHTED, AND UNTIL “MAN’S INHUMANITY TO MAN” SHALL CEASE, AGITATION MUST CONTINUE, vfULLSBOROj TidGA COUNTY, PX., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1863. ' * [For The Agitator.} IN MEi^ORUM. C. D. Phillips, Of Marietta Paper Company. Nashville, June 20th, 1863, and facing dangers and death. These coward ly devils at the North, and unmitigated trai tors who sympathise with you, bare not enough of manly pride and courage to go into Dixie, and fight for the party they say are In the right. They I can sneak -about the towns and neighborhoods of the loyal States,' and en courage desertions, and insubordination among the officers and privates of the Federal-army, who may be lat home on furlough* or leave of absence. As mean as yojir Southern leaderh are, and as low flung as are many-of thA drunk en blackguards in your ranks,- they.'qrefeenSs men, patriots, and Christian -philanthropists, 1 compared with these Northern villains ■ who are on the side of Jeff. Davis. ' But a word to your claim against mg. I bad large dealings with yon, in the paper-line, and onr business. relations were pleasant.' I paid you thousands of dollars, from first to last, and found your firm correct in its accounts. My last payment to yon, before the rebellion set in, was thro’ David A. DeEUjyjck, Cletjk of the Knoxville .Chancery was soma' six bundred doilarg, and left yonr as my book and yours, will; show, eighty cents in my debt. I Speak from memory, but I am certain that I am correct. ’ 1 take this (method of replying to your note, that other rebel, prisoners may meet with my response. I fcavp frequent calls npoa me for money and £lothesi by rebel prisoners at Camp Chase, Camp Morton; Alton, St. Louis, and other^ointe— Bom ®. placing their solicitations upon ,the ground of former political and re ligions associations, and some upon the score of the long standing friendship between their families and myself. : No man wko h& gone into thij infinitely in fernal rebellion, -of his own accord, has any claims upon me, or my generosity. And if I even owed a rebel money—and thank God I do not—l do not feel,, under the circumstances, that I ought to pay him one cent. And cer tainly, for a rebel creditor of mine to demand payment, would require a degree of impudence, that the Devil, with alibis effrontery, cannot boast, of having. Whac- are the facts in my case fT My paper* with-a large and profitable circulation, was crushed out,’after this rebel lion was inaugurated, and roy Printing office, the most valuable in Eastern Tennesso, shame fully sacrificed. Three bouses and lots in Knoxville, worth ten thousand dollars, were taken from me. A large land well furnished dwelling house was taken from me,-my family were driven but, and allowed 36 hours in which to leave the Southern Confederacy, and my furniture, beds, and bed-clothing, sold to the highest bidders, and the proceeds nscd to carry on the war | against the United States Govern ment. A nfgro boy was taken from me, be fore I was sent out of the country, and carried into the.rebel army, and since I.left, lam in formed that the rebels have taken charge of a" negro girl, on the falsely alleged ground that one of them was my security for the girl. I had an interest of ten thousand dollars in the Cburchwell property, in Knoxville, which I gained in the Chancery Court, and afterwards in the Supreme Court, and been sold underlie Court. This has been sequestered, and fof the same unholy purpose. The scoundrel, Gen. Leadbetter, wbb was-in command of the post of Knoxville, refused .me the privilege of col lecting a large amount of debts doe my print ing office, on the ground that I was an “ alien enemy.” Thus, all I had accumulated in thirty years, was taken from me, because I refused to turn traitor, war'upon my Government, and act with a band of the most infamous scoundrels, South, that ever God permitted to breath, the vital air. This is not all: my wife and seven children were driven oat of the country after me, and refused the privilege of bringing any thing with them but their wearing apparel. My, two sons are in the Federal service, fight ing the corrupt government, and the still more infamous 'authorities that forced them- from their native soil. My wife, and her helpless girl-children, are boarding at a private house in Covington, opposite to Cincinnati. The Sec retary of the Treasury, Mr. Chase, was kind and considerate enough, without any solicita tion on my part, to appoint me one of the Spe cial Agents of the Treasury Department, on the 18tb of December last, ipd my pay meets the board of myself and family, at Covington, and no more. This is my condition in life, at the age of 57. I repeat, no Southern rebel, or rebel sympathizer, has any claims upon me. I want no fellowship with such men, and I shall be found opposing them to the end of my earth ly When they lose their negroes, tbesr lands, bouses and homes, and even their lives, ( can but thank God, and take courage ! lam for the vigorous prosecution of this war, until the old flag, the banner of beaut; and glory, shall wave in triumph over every foot of soil, between the cod fisheries of Maine and the Gulf of Mexico. In other words, lam for using every means that God has placed in the power of the Federal Government, to crush out this rebellion, if, in doing so, every rebel in the Southern Confederacy has to t|o exter minated, and every Northern traitor hung! Live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish, I am for the Union—the Union one and in divisible. I afu for the Federal Government, as it is administered. Abraham Lincolnand Jefferson Davis represent the two great powers that are in conflict, and it is as true in this re lation aria a higher and holier one, that “ no man can serve two masters. Either be will hats the one and love the other; or else he will bold to the one and despise the other.’' This is my position. Until this transcendent ques tion of National Integrity is decided, I have resolved to forget all'other ties and interests., Whigs and Democrats, Protestants and Cath olics, are all alike to me, daring my country’s passage through this fiery ordeal. And every man is with me, who has one drop of pure American blood in bis veins I 1 go noW for Boring the 0000(17, and after that, 1 will aid in the organization of parties, and the settiementof question* of policy. And those who iprate about Federal encroachments, and cajole? tbfeir disciples with lectures on the peril of State Bights, hot have ao word of cheer to Federal soldiers who are pouring out their blood to save these very men from all tbs horrors of anarchy, are base end l truckling cowards, and do not breath the breath of pa triotism 1 Could the voices of our illustrious fathers of the Revolution be heard, they would come down out of Heaven, ringing in our ears,—Stand by yonr country, Lincoln, and by your Government 1” Could our thousands of slain soldiers be heard, they would, say stand and die fay the Government! Could our divided families, weeping after those who were driven from them, by Southern oppression, be - beard, in their mountain homes, they would say stand by.tbe Government!

Maryland, July 10, 1863. Friend Agitator.— Again we ate approach ing- the field of battle., Already the distant booming of cannon breaks upon our ears, ech oing, through valleys, over hills and dale', until the sound dies away in the distance. We were lost engaged at Gettysburg, which 1 ' was a very botlyimon tested battle. We arrived on the bat tle field the second dky at 5 o’clock p. m. - We bad marched all dsyf starting at daybreak, and only rested long enough to cook a cup of coffee and eat wliat every good soldier relishes well in these parts, a hard cracker. As soon as we arrived on the field of notion, we formed in line of battle, and advanced upon the enemy. We bad not advanced but a short distance before the rebel sharp shooters began to pick offjfeur officers, and occasionally a stray shot would give the colors a call. We had not advanced more than 800 yards, w hen it was discovered that the rebels in the woods had flanked our first division, and they were retreating in disor der. Our General then commanded ns to about face, forward march, to galiiitha position we’first left, when we formed in line. Here it was where the 14th infantry lost so many men by the rebel sharp shooters, and those that had flanked us on the right. When we had gained the position we first left, we about faced again, and poured a deadly volley of musketry into them, which served to check their mad career for a moment. They had advanced np to our batterfes, capturing onajiieoe, but vfere obliged to abandon it soon, There was where the Bucktails fought so gallatrtljT They charged three times upon the rebels and captured near ly 200 prisoners. On the third our corps was kept as a reserve. The fourth we advanced agaiu, reconnoiter ing'through the woods we,had driven them from the third. On emerging into the woods .adjoining, they opened upon us with a masked battery. Orir skirmishers were deployed to the right.VWe lost none killed the fourth, and hot seven wounded. Total loss killed and wounded in the regiment, was 163. On the fifth the rebels abandoned their posi tion entirely, starting en route for the Potomac. We received the joyful news of the'surrender of Vicksburg, which was one of the strong holds of the confederacy. “Old Jeff” placed great dependence on that place as one that we could not capture ; but at last it is ours. Our army seems to be successful on’every hand No doubt it Would be of interest to the people of Sullivan and Rutland townships to know how the company of young men that enlisted from those townshipe in the 14th came out of the battle of Gettysburg. Our old friend; Oliver Robins, was killed instantly ; shot through the body. We deeply mourn his loss. He was a Christian, and one of the host, of soldiers. Steven C. Cleveland was wounded in the leg. The last we heard from him he waj doing well. Your humble correspondent es caped without injury, but had two or three very close calls. My canteen was shot to pieces on my hip. We were lying in line of battle, and another ball passed through my knapsack kill ing a corporal by my side. Our color guard was composed of seven corporals, and two ser geants. Out of the nine, two corporals and one sergeant escaped unharmed ; so you can imag ine we were in a very hot place, not a very en viable one 1 assure you. the seventeenth of June, onr friend, Henry Slingeifiand, died at the hospital in Washington. We miss him much. He left us sick at camp near Falmouth, Va. Homer Ripley, and Melville Maine, are in the hospital at Philadelphia ; both were quite sick the last we heard from them. Corporal A. S, Reynolds. A Soldier on Copperheads. Mainsburg, July 5, 1863 Friend Cobb: Having just received a let ter from my'soldier brother, in which be gives a pretty plain statement of the feeling in the army concerning the state of affairs in the North, 1 have made bold to send it to you for publication. _ - D. L. A. The letter js as follows : "I am in for a rigorous prosecution of the war—as much so as on the day I enlisted. But I tell you that the soldiers of this army have poor encouragement. I - repeat it—we have very poor encouragement. Our leading men are found fault with "while doing their utmost. The Administration's cursed for doing its du ty, and not only by many of our own people but by the whole world. Returned soldiers are abused by portions of the press, and our sick comrades have been mobbed in northern cities. Northern Copperheads have held sym pathy meetings in the interest of traitors; and did not these same sympathizers mob our sick soldiers in Newark ? Have they not, in Penn sylvania, attempted to officers in the discharge of their duty"? I won der if they imagine the nature of the influence such actions have on the minds of the soldiers who'are submitting to hardships and privations for the preservation of the liberties bought with the blood of our fathers? What kind of SD American can he be who rejoices in the defeats and reverses of our armies ? Yet it is a fact that thousands in the North do so rejoice, and are trying to kindle civil war in the North, to desolate our homes, and so rob us of our last remaining comfort. In the name of Heaven, I ask,is this to continue? If tbs, laws of out country are to be set at naught at home, while we are fighting to assert and maintain them, then I, for one, ask the privilege of going home to fight. If such things are to continue, 1 want to fight Northern, instead of Southern traitors 1 S. A. A.” [We can appreciate the indignant protest of that soldier. But we shall regret the necessity that compels our brave soldiers to torn from the battle with the nobler traitors South, to bunt to their boles the sneaking cowards'who apologize for mobajin New York, or turn informers- and pimps for rebels in Pennsylvania. So.] W. Q. Beowkiow. The Contempt in Which the Behels Hold Peace Sneaks. In two years, as many persona hope, we may have peace—that is, always provided we-uon tinued to reputee and defeat the invading ene my. The Yankee “Democracy” ,is certainly rousing itself, and preparing for a new struggle (at the ballot-box) in the great cause of (he "spoils,” or, as they call it, the cause of Con stitutional Liberty, Those Democrats are evi dently beginning to raise ts Peace platforvt for the next Presidential flection; and if the good lack to be helped on 'and sustained by more and more serious disasters of the Yankei army in the field, there is no aioubt that the present devonrers of the said spoils at Wash ington, may soon be so discredited that our en emy’s country would be ripe for such peaceful ballot-box revolution. It is sincerely to be hoped that those earnest champions of constitutional freedom-will be helped on and sustained in the manner they require—namely, -by continued and severe re verses in the field: and it is the first and most urgent duty~qf' our countrymen, so to help and sustain that Democratic party. It is tooth ing to us which of their factions may .devour the “spoilsjnst as little does it signify to us whether they recover or. do not recover that constitutional liberty which they so wantonly threw away ih the mad pursuit of Southern conquest and plunder. Put it is of'the utmost importance to us to aid in stimulating disaffec tion among Yankees against their own Govern ment, and in demoralizing and disintegrating societyin that\ God-abandoned country. We can do this only in one way, namely ; by thrash in their armies and carrying the war. to their own firesides. Then, indeed, constitutional principles will hold eway; peace platforms will • arbitrary arrests will; lock odi ens, and habeas corpus be quoted at a premi um. This is the only.way that we can help them. In this sense and to this extent, those Democrats are truly our allies, and we shall en deavor to do our duty by them. But they evideirtly-look fo§other and further help at our hands, and of quite a different sort, No doubt they are pleased, for the present, with the efficient aid which the Confederate army is affording them. ChanceHoijVille was a God send toi them, and the tremendous repulse at Port Hudson is quite a plank in their platform. Yet they understand very well that no matter how soundly their armies may be happily beat en ; no matter how completely Lincoln’s pres ent war policy may be condemned bj its results, yet all this will not be enough' to enable the, unterrified' Democracy to clutch fhe “spoils'’ —' or, as they phrase it, to restore the Constitution of their fathers. This, of itself, would Sever give them a Peace-Democrat President and Cabineut; it would only result in another Ab olition Administration, with a new Secretary £of ‘Whr and a new Commandcr-in-Chief, and a slightly different plan for “crushing the re bellion,” Those -Black Republicans are in power; after long waiting, pininmjutriguing in the cold shade of the oppositions; and they now have the numerical preponderance so deci dedly that they both can and will hold on to the office .with' a clutch like, death. The Dem ocrats can do absolutely nothing without “the South,” ks they persist in terming these Con federate States ; and they cannot bring them selves to admit the thought that ice would re fuse to unite with them (as alas! we used to do) tn a great universal Presidential campaign, for a Democratic‘President, with a Peace platform, and the “ Constitution as it is." In fact, this whole two years' war, and the two war which has yet to be gone through, is itself, in their eyes, only a Presidential campaign, only somewhat more vivacious than ordinary. This explains the Vallnndigham Peace Meet ings in New York and New Jersey; and the “manly’declarations” of Mr. Horatio Seymour and other patriots. “Do not let us forget,” says Fernando Wood, writing to the Philadel phia meeting, “that those who'perpetrate such outrages as the arrest and banishment of Mr. Vallandigbam, do so as necessary war measures. Let us„ therefore, strike at the cause, and de clare for peace and against the war." This would! sound very well if the said “de claring for peace” could have any effect what ever in bringing about peace. “If .a man falling from a tower could arrest his'fall by declaring against it, then tbe declarations of Democrats against the war might be of some avail. As it is; they resemble that emphatic pronouncement of Mr. Washington Hunt; “Let it be pro claimed upoii the housetops that no citizen of New York shall be arrested without process of of law.” There is no use in bawling from the housetops what everybody knows to. be non sense. Or the resolution |of the New Jersey meeting: 1 That in the; illegal seizure and banishment of the Hon. 0. L.
