Affairs at Manassas — Baltimore wanted for winter quarters. Se de Kay, writing to the Louisville Courier from Camp Bartow, near Manassas, under date of August 23, says:-- A week of chill rain storms has served to remind us not only of the personal discomforts of camp life, but of the rapid departure of summer, and the near approach of the season of mist and mellow fruitfulness. The last roses are indeed blooming, though it was but the other day that I plucked one on the battle-field, where it had opened its delicate fragrance upon the tainted air, amid the wreck and desolation of horrid war.

h the will and the power to develop. I, therefore, appeal to the patriotic women of Tennessee to set about the work at once, of manufacturing all the jeans, linseys, socks, blankets, comforts, and all other articles which will contribute to the relief, health, and comfort of the soldier in the field. In connection herewith, I beg leave also to call your attention to the communication addressed to me by the Assistant Surgeon-General of the Confederate States, hereto appended. I cannot too earnestly urge upon you the importance of an early and generous response to the call thus made upon you. Let an agent be appointed in each county to receive and forward all articles to such points as the necessities of our troops may require. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the State to be affixed, at the department in Nashville on this 23d day of August, A. D. 1861. [L. S.] Isham G. Harris. By the Governor: J. E. R. Ray, Secretary of State.

In a week I ought to be perfectly safe and be prepared to defend all Maryland; in another week to advance our position. . . . The men were very enthusiastic and looked well. My old State will come out handsomely. I have been much vexed to-night by sundry troublesome things; the only comfort has been your father's arrival, which is a great relief to me. I like to see that cool, steady head near me. Aug. 23. . . . Yesterday I rode to Alexandria and reviewed four brigades — that is, seventeen regiments. . . Beauregard has missed his chance, and I have gained what I most needed-time! . . . I do not live at all; merely exist, worked and worried half to death. I have no privacy, no leisure, no relaxation, except in reading your letters and writing to you. We take our meals at Wormley's: a colored gentleman who keeps a restaurant just around the corner in I Street. I take breakfast there p

We will reach Acquia some time after midnight. Early in the morning I will telegraph to Halleck informing him of my arrival and asking for orders. I have no idea what they will be, nor do I know what has been happening on the Rappahannock yesterday and to-day. I take it for granted that my orde

I have reached here, and respectfully report for orders. I also telegraphed as follows to Gen. Halleck: Morell's scouts report Rappahannock Station burned and abandoned by Pope without any notice to Morell or Sykes. This was telegraphed you some hours ago. Reynolds, Reno, and Stevens are supposed to be with Pope, as nothing can be heard of them to-day.
