Dear Sir: As wc arc

again encamped, I thought I Avould write a few lines for the Journal. When I last wrote we were going down the Ohio river. Nothing of interest occurred on the trip down to Smithland, where Ave arrived on .Saturday morn" ing. and waited a short time for the boat containing the right wing of our regiment to arrive. I did not go on shore, but the town from the river, ap-

peared to be a small, unimportant place. Above the town there are some eart hworks thrown up and several large S guns planted, so as to command the river. The Cumberland river is row but very deep and rapid stream

Higher up the river we passed what was said to be the residence of John A. I .Murrell, the noted robber, and 011 the bluff above the house were five or six heavy guns, stretching their long, black necks down the river. About clock we came in sight of the city of Nash-1

We passed by the residence and tomb of James K. Polk." It is situated pleasantly in a somewhat retired part of the city. The State IIousc is a magnificent building, of the Corinthian order of architecture, built of a kind of Tennessee marble, very durable.

We are now comfortably quartered about four miles from the city. Since our arrival here, wc have received new Sibloy tents, cooking utensils, and a new suitof clothcs sothat if the friends of '"the Tenth" could visit the boys now they would find them fixed out "in style," and prepared to receive visitors.

Thc weather for several days has been quite cold, and to-day we have a regular northwester but we arc encamped in a large pasture, with plenty of good ash wood and an abundance of straw."

We have a tolerably large force in the vicinity of the city now, and will probably remain here some time.— What movements will be made from this point I do not pretend to know.

A Distressed SecesSi Fsither to his Sons. Bear Creek, Miss., Dec 16, 18G1.

To mj'Boj-s, Sammie and Thomas:

After along silence I will tell you some little news. I told C. D. Moore to tell you that paper was very scarce in this wooden world. I went to Yaidere to get this, and was glad to get it at 50 els. per quire.

The health of our country is pretty o-ood. Crops are very short—corn and cotton—especially cotton not quito half a crop, though it doesn't matter, as wo can't get any money for it. For my part, I know not what wc arc to do I hav'ent a red cent. My intention now is to plant only about eight acres in cotton, that will make enough tobuy or barter my groceries. I fear, my children, we will notlivo to sec as prosperous a time after the revolution as there was before it. I often think of the language of our Saviour: "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabaethani—My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" I verily believe all this calamity has come upon us for our wickedness. Religion is down like cotton—not worth much—and by the actions of good brethern it might be bought for a mere trifle, though if we were to judge from its sparsness, like salt it would be worth S40 per sack.— Oh, my God, what will become of us?— Go if you please to the churchyard, and you. will hear nothing but secular affairs, and&w—war. Dull times everywhere. Money scarce pork high—10 to 12^cts. per pound salt the same coffee 01,50 per pound, and none to be had at that calico 30 to 50 cents per yard domestics 20@25 cts per yard sugar 6 to 12^ cts. molasses 30 to 40 cents, and everything in the same ratio.
