Now that the Yanks have passed by Augusta and are making their way to Columbia and Charleston, I hope they will give Georgia a rest. Feb. 23, Thursday The picnic was stupid. It must be that I am getting tired of seeing the same faces so often. Albert Bacon and Jim Chiles came home with us, and we enjoyed the evening. Capt. Rust is a dear old fellow, and Miss Connor and Maj. Camp added a little variety. Capt. Rust and Mr. Bacon proposed a ride across country for the morning, but there is not a riding habit in the family, nor a piece of cloth big enough to make one. I ruined mine in those fox hunts at Chunnenuggee Ridge last fall. Flora is a famous horsewoman, and I know she must be a good rider, for her every movement is grace itself. She is one of those people that gains upon you on acquaintance. She is so out of the commonplace. There is something stately a

The soldiers leaning on their sabers by the mountain path would have smiled in grim amusement at the suggestion that a life like theirs in the merry greenwood must be as care-free, picturesque, and delightful as the career of Robin Hood, according to old English ballads. These raiders of 1863 could have drawn sharp contrasts between the beauty of the scene in this photograph — the bright sunshine dappling the trees, the mountain wind murmuring through the leaves, the horse with his box of fodder, the troopers at ease in the shade — and the hardships that became every-day matters with the cavalry commands whose paths led them up and down the arduous wester

U. S. Navy, and Chaplain H. C. Trumbull, Tenth Connecticut Infantry, who were both unjustifiably made prisoners on the morning of July 19, 1863, at Morris Island, and were brought in contact with our men. Chaplain Trumbull says that he and Adjutant Camp of his regiment, also captured, were marched through the streets with the Fifty-fourth prisoners to the provost-marshal; thence they were taken to the gloomy jail, and at ten o'clock at night thrust— twenty in all—into a small and filthy roothey were all in Charleston Jail. Accepting the figures of Assistant-Surgeon Luck as correct, that there were fifty-five wounded of the Fifty-fourth, and those of Chaplain Trumbull that twenty were placed in the jail, including himself and Adjutant Camp, leaving eighteen negro soldiers, we find that the captured of the regiment, wounded and unwounded, numbered at least seventy-three men. The roster accounts for seventy-eight men missing or captured; deducting the seventythree accounted for a

hardson, who both agreed to assist in the delivery of the letters which Webster had brought with him from the South, They all went to the room occupied by the detective at the hotel, and after a friendly drink, the letters were properly assorted, and each man was given his particular portion. They were instructed to request answers from those only in whose friendship they could implicitly rely, and to take in person any that were prepared at the time. In the afternoon, Webster called on Mr. Camp bell, the father of the young man who had accompanied him on his trip from Richmond to Manassas Junction. The old gentleman was rejoiced to hear from his son, and after a few minutes' conversation Webster discovered that he was quite as bitter a secessionist as any one he had met, although he was quite aged and not very active. He informed the detective that he had once made a very handsome horse-bit for General McClellan, and that he was now making one for General Johnston, which he wou

lundering ignorance or the obstinate conceit of the nurse. Those who observed this elegant young lady moving softly about the wards of the hospitals, little imagined, perhaps, that from her was to come the reform of those institutions. Miss Nightingale may almost be said to have created the art of which she is the most illustrious teacher; but she was yet far from having perfected herself; many years were still to elapse before she was prepared to speak with the authority of a master. Mrs. Camp still flourished for a while. although her days were numbered. It must not be supposed that this noble-minded lady denied herself the pleasures proper to her age, sex, and rank. She enjoyed society and the pleasures of society, both in the country and in town. Without being strictly beautiful, her face was singularly pleasing in its expression, and she had a slight, trim, and graceful figure. Her circle of friends and acquaintances was large, and among them she was always welcome; b

oming upon the field, at once directed me to reinforce myself, and, whilst the Texas brigade held him in check, I threw quickly three brigades from my right on my left. My flank was now safe from being turned, and the enemy completely foiled. He tried all day to break through my lines, making two very determined assaults upon Perry, but late in the evening he withdrew. Our loss was very slight compared to his. Among his slain left in our hands were two Majors. (The body of one of them, Major Camp, was returned to them next day, upon application through flag of truce.) We had to deplore the loss of Colonel Perryel, Seventh Alabama brigade, a most daring, reckless officer—mortally wounded. The saddest event of the war befell me in this affair in the death of my Adjutant-General, Major Willis F. Jones. Major Jones had left an interesting family and magnificent home in Woodford county, Kentucky, to give his services and his life, if need be, to the cause of his country. He was my

There have been 3,000 to 4,000 troops collecting at Jackson county, but much dissatisfaction existed among them, some objecting to serve out of the county, while others were anxious for a fight, and ready to go any where Finally, over half of their number threw down their arms, and went home to attend their farms, and the balance proceeded towards Lexington. It is now said that in the fight at Cols. Camp between a considerable body of Union men and a number of State troops, twenty-three of the former were killed by Captain Ceck J. H.

"At this moment the fortunes of our country are influenced by the results of battles. Our armies in the field must be supported; all the constitutional demands of our General Government must be promptly to: under no circumstances can a division of the Union be conceded — We will put forth every exertion of power; we will use every policy of constitution; we will hold out every inducement to the people of the South to return to their allegiance, consistent with honor; we will guaran
