It? Listen' distinctly, while we state
most emphatically, that it is a fact do
monstrablu by mathematical rules, that
'it is an utter impossibility to publish a
papor without money, and a plenty of it,
theso times. We can assure you moct
positively that wo do not possess the
chameleonic power of living on air, nor
the Aladdin-liko power of calling up
genii to do our bidding, consequently
wo have to buy supplies and pay for the
work to bo done. To judgo from cer
tain facts theso must bo very astonish

Hint will doubtless bo perfectly appall

be considered by many ns n very rash
expectation, but that cannot bo helped,
we nevertheless expect it.
Tire receipts of tlio Courier donol pay

is willing to make to sustain the papor,
and ho ought not to bo forced to mnko
others. Some havo come in and given

a liotc-ablo way some persons have of

wo would much prefer Confederate or

would most earnestly solioit those who

One Hunter, claiming ample nutlior-
, lias issued a proclamation at Port

Georgia, South Carolina and Flori
da—of course this is no proof to a Hey
any design to interfere witli slavery
any other privato property. To
steal negroes by the thousand, all -the
cotton, sugar and tobacco they can
reach, is only a patriotic effort to’re
store the “glorious Union.” 'General
Hunter having thus speedily freed our
negroes, the New York Post (Aboli
tion print) says-. '“They onust toe re
stored to bondage—their natural state
but not io ns, but to Yankee mas
ters.” They have'thus determined to
enter into the slav« trade business
again—the plan is to rob us, then work
or sell 'them, jfut the money in their
pocket and go to canting more liypoc-
racy. We defy the records of crime
to produce a parallel to this corrup
tion. Tho cool proposition of tho
highway robber is made for our purse
—our lands and negroes—it is refused.
Proceeding to tako it by violence we
resist—ho then being the strongor,
takes not only purse, but life. Such
is Yankeeism, unvarnished and com
plete—“the sum of all villians.” But
the latest development of the North- is
an attempt to breath life into the old
Democratic party. Wo have no doubt
of tho success of tho Democratic party
—what little of statesmanship is in the
North is in its ranks. There is no hope
in this party for anything but to take
care of the offices—it is os fierce for
the war as Lincoln; indeed says in tho
card lately issued by prominent poli
ticians of Washington, it is the only
party that ever did or ever can rule
the country in peace or war. Tho con
test will be negro stealers vs. squatter
sovereigns, a lovely contest, truly !

Buttles of Front Royal and Winches*
ter.
A correspondent of tho Lynchburg
Republican gives the following interest,
ing account of Stonewall Jackson’s re
cent victories:
Wo met the enemy at Front Royal,
Warren co., Va., on Friday evening.—.
He made but n short utand. Tho First
Maryland Volunteers, on tho Yankee
sido, was charged by the 1st Regiment
of Maryland robols, who put their old
acquaintances to flight in a short time
killing several and taking a number of
prisoners, who were recognized by many
old acquaintances.
We took the enemy by surprise and
put them to flight, before a fourth of
our army had entered tho town. Tho
cavalry charged upon -the enemy in re
treat, killing many and oapturing a
lurge number of prisoners. Ashby’s
and Stuart’s cavalry captured two rail
road trains loaded with provisions. •
The number of prisoners captured, as
well as I could learn, amounted to 1100
most of whom woro Marylanders.
We also captured >r large amount of
stores and arms. Among the latter aire
about 500 improved cavalry six-shooters
and throe pieces of artillery., nr.d tho
stores Amount to $300,000 to $400,000. •
•When we entered Front Royal, the
women and children met-us with shouts
of the liveliest jjo'y. As wo passed thro
tho place in double •quick, we could not
stop to pattake of tho hospitality so gon-
•erously tendered.
'On Sk'ttfrday, at early dawn, vre were
again on the march to pay Gen. Banks
a visit, who was encamped sit Strusburg,
twelve miles distant. After reconnoit-
ering for several hours,Co). Ashby’s cav
alry march down the road leading to
Middletown, Which is six miles in rear
of Strasburg, and Gen. Ewell’s command
down tlio road to Newtown,twelve miles
rear of Strasburg. At 2 o'clock a
courier reported that Banks was on the
Retreat, and had passed Middletown
but that two regiments of cavalry wore
still left behind at Strasburg and Mid'
dletown as a baggage guard.
Gen. Ed. Johnson’s division under
the command of Brig. Gen. Elsey, was
at once ordered down the road to Mid
dleton, to pursue the enemy. When
we enmo to the Valley turnpike, wo
found hosts of prisoners, and the road
blockaded with dead and live horses
wngons laden with subsistence, Ac., to
gether with dead and wounded Yan
kees.
Wo pushod on our column for about
cloven miles, when wo halted for a few
hours. Wo then learned that Banks
bad passed tlio road leading into the
Valley pike, neir NewtoWn, where
Ewell’s command had entered the road
Skirmishing wns ( then kept up until
lato hour of the night, and about
o’clock in tho morning we halted with
in three miles of Winchester.
Wo found along the road about ono
hundred wagons, loaded with baggugo,
together with a number of boats (not
of the gunboat order) on wheels, which
Banks had destroyed for fear of their
falling into our hands.
At early dawn this (Sunday) morning,
we advanced and attacked the mighty
Banks in front of Winchester. After
fighting about one hour, distributing
shell and liiiunie balls profusely, our
boys made a charge, when the Yankees
left at double quick, after setting fir
to tlio town and burning their commis
sary stores.
The Lee Battery, of Lynchburg, and
two others were ordered to pursue in
gallop, and the command was obeyed,
they Bhelling the enemy for five miles.
When the army passed through the
town, men, women and childron wore
shouting, “thank God we are free
thank God we are free once moro! "
Confederate flags and white handker
chiefs were wavod from overy window,
and tho happy smiles of lovely women
on all sides met the wearied soldier And
cheered him, os ho hurriedly passed
through tho place in pursuit of tho fly
ing foe.
After pursuing the -enemy for six
miles we wore brought to a halt, and
left tho finishing stroke to tlio cavalry,
who have captured a largo number of
prisoners.
Prisoners tell mo that Gen. Banks
left before day on an extra car.
The fire in tho town wos extinguish
ed by our boys after tho commissary
stores Wej'O destroyed, but we succeed
ed in saving all of the medical stores
and ammunition, both of which were
very large. We also secured the depot
and a train of cars, both of which were
well filled with provisions.
In neither of the engagements we
have not lmd ono fourth, no, not sixth
of our forces oiiguged, and I cannot
see why the enemy have fled in such
confusion after so short a stand.'
Wo captured a large number of sto
len negroes. Tlio Yankocs had'mar
ried a number of the womon and wore
taking thorn home with them. I have
seen somo that refused to go, and oth
ers that had been forced off" at other
times that lmd returned.
At Front Royal wo oapturod 1,470
prisoners, and eight or nino hundred
at Winchester, and numbers from points
north nre being hourly brought in.
At Strasburg >vo took six pieces of
tiller.
In a another letter from Winchester,
ho says:
This beautifus inland town has ns-
Bumod quite a lively appeiranco since
wo drove tlio detosted Yankees from
its vicinity, and tho people nre once
more breathing the air of freemen and
not of slaves.—To-day I heard a lady
say that she was ono more free, and
the niggers Woro niggers again.
Up to this timo we have captured
and have in this place between 3,000
and 4,000 prisoners, and I aim told that
1100 more of the* Hessians havo been
captured near Harper's Ferry and
Martinsburg.
Wo have now in place 8,000 stand
of arms, taken sinoe we entered Front
Kayo!, besides a number of piocee of ar
tillery, together with the large quantity
of the best amunition of all grades that
‘ havo over beheld.
Tlie medical stores captured are esti
mated by tho druggist of this placo to be
worth at least $200,000. Among them
are articles very scarce in tho Confeder
acy apd mush needed by the govorn-
mont. We captured five hundred pounds
Opium and two hundred gallons castor
oir, both of which are greatly needed
and have been shipped to the hospitals
at Lynchburg.
To-day news was reoeived that the
Yankees had burn t the dopot at Charles
town, together with all the stores.
A portion of the army moved this eve
ning, and it is reported that the bal
ance will also move in the morning
Their destination is unknown, but the
impression prevails that they will not
stop until the Stato of Maryland is free
God grant that it may be so.
During the sqjoum of the Yankees
in this place the people wore not allow

plains of Utah. It says :
Brigham Young has just been inaug
urated as Governor of the new State of
Deseret, and Mr. Ashly’s bill for the
punishment of polygamy has passed
the House of Representatives. Hero is a
conflict at our doors at once. The Mor
mons have organized their State gov
eminent with polygamy as the “corner
stone" of their system, just as slavery is
tlio corn'er stane of the Confederates,
intending to demand ' immediate ad
mission into the Union, while Congress
declares their fundamental system a
crime which morals and justice Alike*
forbid.

in their new State movement, is abun
dantly proved by tho recent public-
speeches of their leaders. Brigham
Young. Heber C. Kimball, and other
“apostolic” dignitaries in Utah, who
mould tho deluded followers of the
Mormon heresy at their will, boldly
avow their purpose to make a direct is
sue with the Government. In effect,
they say that they have suffered unjust
persecution until forbearance is no lon
