"ways of providonco aio mysterious

that for some thno I have boon endeavor

ter Rolls, and forwarded them with
authority to tender them for the war,
to the War Department. They were
accepted, but tho acceptance was sent
by mail, and was nineteen days on the
road front Jllohraond to Rome. Be
sides, the tender was misunderstood
wholly—it was intended as an iudo
pendent Regiment, but was not so un
derstood, before, howovor, the accep
tance came to hand, many of the com
panies joined various other organisa
tions. I had to begin nnow, and was
offered ton other companies, and
dored them into camp at Grittin, and
not ono come to time. Several compa
nies came after awhile, and on arrival,
refused tc ho mustered into service.—

The Army or the Potomac.
The intelligence published yesterday,
relative to the movements of tho army
of tho Potomac, occasioned some ex
pressions of dissatisfaction iimongst in
dividuals who know nothing of strate
gy, and who vehemently protest
against- taking any step backward.—
.Sue.li persons ought to understand that
no movement is made by wist* mid ex
perienced Generals, except for good
cause uud for some definite purpose.—
Criticisms comes with bud grace from
those who stay ul home and leave oth
ers lo fight the battle*.
A report reached the city yesterday
that the Federal* had advanced ns fur
ns Falls Clmreh, in Fairfax eouuty,
and thrown out their pickets; but
judging from their recent stampedes,
wo should bo disjwscd to look upon
this ns at least questionable. Wo have
it from undoubted authority that only
two or three days ago soino seven regi
ments of tho enemy mado tiieir up-
tcaronce at Lewisville with two wagon-
oads of entrenching tools, but before
they find an opportunity of commen
cing their fortiflcatiu *, lwo of our
regiments advanced upon them mil
put them to flignt, nor did they stop
until they had put a safe distance be
tween themselves and thoir pursuers.
They left all their implements behind,
whie.li wore secured by our troops.—
Nevertheless, it seems to bo generally
believed that a great buttle will take
place within a few days.

of his aids, left this city at an early

Dispatch,
Piratical.—Tho Wilmington Journvl
remarks:
Tho true character of the Lincoln
blockade begins now to appear. The
object f« dearly not to blockade the
ports of tho .Southern Stales, but to lie
around our inlet*, and, by false signals
nnd other dishonest strategic means,
steal everything they can decoy into
their grasp. The fact is well known
llmt no important harbor has been
effectually guarded since the war com
menced, and yet, they call it a block-
adcing squadron, instead of piratical,
as it should be.
British brig has been lying at
Morehead City for sovcral weeks, tak
ing cargo, ana now that it is full, the
blockading squadron makes its exit to
leave. As soon, however, as it is out of
sight, if a fishing smack belonging to a
Confoderaoy-man wore to attempt to
come in, they’d steal it, and feel glorious
over the feat.
Now if England is going to pursue a
turso of this kind—play second fiddle
w tho blockade, merely to secure cot
ton and naval stores to keep their
manufactures employed, and ignore us
as a nationality—it is time we know it,
and should put a stop to all expedition!
In that direction. We can live inde
pendent of both tho North and Great
Britain, and wo should do it, at lfiast
until they can realize that wo are “
people. .

were confirmed by dispatches which

The city was Bill of rumor* yester
day, many of them, us usual, bring
entirely destitute of truth. Gen. Wise
arrived from tliu army of the Kanawha
on Saturday evening, and brought
highly interesting inteilligenco from tho
troops lately under his command at
Big Sewell 3fomi(n2n. Tho enemy
attacked him on Monday in heavy
force, ntimlicring it is supposed, V,000
men, and Gen. W„ with hut 1,700 mndo
such a gallant defence of his position,
that the enemy was r* pulsed. Heavy
skirmishing continued throughout tho
two succeeding days, the Hessians fight
ing under cover of trees ami bushes,
and endeavoring to ascertain the po
sition of our guns. Meanwhile Gen
eral Lee arrived with four regiments of
Gen. Floyd's Brigade, thus swelling the
force at Mg Sewell to 4,000 men. Our
loss ill the three dnv’s skirmishing was
two killed and three wounded. Gen.
Wise states that tho shot, shell and ri-
fto halU which his troops iioured in up
on the |K>sitioii occupied by the enemy
must have bail a disastrous effect,
though the actual fucts could not he
obtained, silica the forest screenod
them from view.
Gen. Floyd was ordered forward
from Meadow Bluff to join Gen, I.cu
with tho remainder of his command,
and it is probable that, witli other re
inforcement*, we have now 0,000 men
at Big Sewell Mountain.
Thera is a report that Roseiieratitx
has gone back to Cheat Mountain ; hut
whether Roseuerautx or Cox bo in com

boon well chosen by Gun. Wise as a
stand point. Tho most intense anxie

information that our foices Intro fallen

With tho exception of tho ordinary

It was repotted iu Winchester a few

purchases of bacon, in this city Inst

but are not satisfied as to the character
of the purchasers. If It was bought
by speculators with a view to run up

The Winans's Sour Factort.—'The
closing up of Winans's Soup Factory
by thu Federal Government fs the most
heartless not of cruelty and oppression
which has yet boon inflicted In 3Iary-
laud. Ro<* Wlnum and his family aro
among the few Good .Samariums to bo
found among the men of wealth in tho
U lid. It is believed that Mrs. Winans
expended twenty-five thousand dollar*
a year in nets of charity. Every mem
ber ot tho household was provctbiul for
goodness to the poof. If any peo|)Ie
on the fuco of the earth could be ex
pected to recolvo at tho Inst day that
benediction which the Saviour will pro♦
uouncc, “I was hungry and ye fed mo,

ty was genuine and unostentatious.—
Among their other countless chari
ties was a Soup Factory, at which, out
of his own private purse, Ross Winans
provided daily for the wants of eight
thousand of tho poor. This fountuln
of life and beneficence tho Washing
ton despot has stopi>ed, on the ground
thnt, by supplying thoir wants, it will
keep tho poor from enlisting in the
army. Wo have no doubt that if the
prophot Elijah should appear again on

meal and oil of some poor widow, Lin
coin would have him arrested and sen!
to Foit Lafayette. Ahah himself was
not os' exacting and merciless a tyrant
