“Stoneivali.’s” Army.—Some two.
weeks have elapsed sincu tho battle
of Cediir Run, and over anxious people
aro gotting impatient mid ask ng the
question : why, if we whipped Pope in
tlie lato battle, and drove Ids forces six
miles baok to Culpepper, does not oitr
army again movo against tho Yankees?
Wo cannot exactly say whj% but wo
might answer ono question with 'anoth
er: if tho Yankoes whipped us, as tho
bonstcr Popo vaunting!) - declares, why
is it that they have waited two whole
weeks without vonowing tlie attack, or
even so much as a step forward in their
onward march to Richmond ?
There nre two tilings, though, that
wo do know; We know Stonewall
Jackson and Robert Lee, and tool suio
tliey are doing exnotly what is best un
dor the circumstances. Tlie second
thing is, that when Stonewall Jackson
writes a despatch declaring that “the
Almighty lias vouchsafed another vio
tory to our arms,” it is so, no matter
what Popo, Hnllcck, or ten thousand
Yankee liars may sny lo tho contrary.
Let us possess ourselves-in patience;
tlie movement of large armies is n slow
business, and we shall in due season
hear enough to gladden Uio heart.—

No train enmo ill on tlie Central Rail

buig U.ut Popo is still retreating, und
lmd arrived nt Brandy Station about
midway between Culpeper C. H. and
tho Rappahannock river. His rear was
much annoyed by our cavalry, who
had enptured several prisoners, and
wounded many of tho rotronting Yam
kecs. It is stated that thero aro 3,500.
Yankees in Culpeper county.
Among tho wounded Yankoes at
Cliarlottsville is Mnj. Jas. Snvngo, of tho
2d Massachusetts. He is a brother of
the wife of Prof. Rogers, formerly of
tho University of Virginia. Ono of
their officers, Lieut. Ilelwach, of the
Pennsylvania Zouaves, asked to bo par
oled—desired tho Captain of the post
to releaso him on parole, saying that
his compay had been disbanded before
the battlo in Culpepper, and that ho
had used his best efforts to be kept out
of the fight. He was infornitfd that
that was his misfortune, -but it wus not
the limit of tho Confederate Govern
ment. He was found in bad company,
and now .he must suffer tho penalty
and thank Gen. Pope forbein'g treat

In Culpopor the oitizens refused to

Tiie Present Chocs of Georoia.—In a
conversation with Col. Thweatt, Comp
troller General, Who wus in our office
yesterday, says the Macon, Telegraph,
we learn that 1-14 counties of Georgiu re
turn this year 3.500,000 acres planted
in corn ; 1.200,000 in other grain, and
224,000 acres planted in cotton. The
Comptroller supposes that the actual
amount of land in corn the prosont time
is from four to five million acres and the
noduct from fifty to sixty millions of
lushcls. In 1849 iho corn crop of Geor
gia wus thirty millions of bushels, tlie
amount of land in cotton is estimated at
269.000 acres, ami the product will
irobably be about sixty thousand-bales.
Ordinarily it iB about seven hunch-ad
thousand,
lie draft recently ordered in the
North will largely increaso the cost of
the war. The war is now costing tho
North nearly $4,000,000 a day. Lincoln
has culled out 600,000 more troops. This
levy will add $600,000,000 per annum
to tho cost of tlie war—approximating
an addition of $2,000,000 a day to the $4,
000,000 now expended. At this rate the
Ner'.h will soon be brought to bankrupt

Richmond, August 24.—The rotreat

used by tlio guards in 'making their
retreat after their work was finished.
