From the ltappuhanuock--Occupa
tlon of Manassas Junction by Our
Advance;
The news from the line of the Rap-
pnhnnnock, though not so full and
complete as we could desire, is.’never
theless interesting and importnnt. It
is understood as perfectly reliable, that
the advance of our forces have reached
Manassas . Junction,'where they cap
tured some eight or ten heavy guns
and an immense quantity of valuable
stores.
The portion of the Yankee ar.ny un
der Pope was at Warrenton en Wednes
day, and it Is stated that its retreat in
the direction of Alexandria is entirely
intercepted, The only route by which
ho could reach that point is by way oi
the Junction, which is now in posses
sion of our forces. It is not probablo
that ho will succeed in forcing his wny
back to the Bptomao by taking that
route. If this statement be correot—
and we havo no reason to- question its
authenticity—the only ror.d for his es-
enpo would seem to be by way of tho
Plains to Middleburg, ana from thence
to Leesburg, in Loudon county.
Burnside, with his army corps, was
at Fredericksburg yestorday, and was
reinforced by two divisions of the army
under McClelan, but will never reach
Pope.
We have no intelligence of any heavy
fighting, and it is somewhat surprising
that our troops have met with so few
obstructions lu their advance. In gov
ernment circles there scorns to bo not
the Slightest approhensin for the safety
of our army. . Indeed, wo have reason
to believe that the most lively hopes
nro cntoi-tainod, of a triumph that will
eclipse any that has been vouchsafed to
our arms since the war commenced.
The iixtolligetfce that the enemy has
been reinforced, has created no uneasi
ness, and not the remotest idea of a l-e-
verso is entertained.
To sum up the whole, we are warran
ted in the conclusion that the enemy's
forces are so situated, that a further re
treat will .be deoidedly more disastrous
than the acceptance of a battle, and
that in either event he. is inevitably
subjected to reverse, from whioh it will
bo no easy matter to recover.—Hick.

Tho Richmond Examiner of Saturday
says: We are glad to learn from a gen
tleman, just down from Amelia Springs,
that General Johnston has entirely re
covered from the olleot of his wound,

LAND OF THE SOUTH.
BV J. R. BARRIOK, OF KENTUCKY.
Land of the South, there is no land
So dear to mo as thine;
Italia’s skies are blue aipl bland,
The olime whence flows the Rhine,
And Greece, 0 classic Greece l her fame
Lives in each nation’s tongue ;
But still, my native land, thy name,
In songs of praise be sung..
Lancl of the South, my footsteps oft,
Have roam’d thy vales of bloom,
Where rioh magnolias wave alolt,
And live oaks stand in gloom ;
Far in thy orange groves, where flowers
Bloom in the light and shade,
There, thro’ the solitary hours,
My wayward steps have strayed.
Land of tho South : n« tyrants rule
Hath set its seal on thee;
Learned in the lore of freedom’s school,
Thy sons lovo Liberty 1
When first she sought to find a homo,
Far. in our Western wild
Twns here that freedom first bocome
The laud’s adopted child.
Land of the South, thy sons aro now
In war's dreaded strife engaged, .
Their banner’s'motto, and their vow
"For Independence waged,”
And I, tho sword, in lieu the pen,
It were my wish to wield,
Since man no higher aims, than when
Ho seeks the battle field.

Military Execution.
The sentence of the Court Martini on
Corpprnl Geo. H. Burger, Company E,
First Regimont South Carolina Artille
ry, who was found guilty of intention
to' desert, and attempting to persuade
others to desert with him, was entriod
into etfect on Sullivan’s Island Tlturs
day, precisely at 12 M, He was shot at
that hour on the open space, about two
hundred yards to the East of the Moul
trie House, just beyond the Beauregard
Battery, in full view of the blockading
fleet.
All tho balls- fired, six in number,
took effect in bis body, and bo fell
perfectly insensible, although appa
rently alive for about five minutes after
wards.
The deceased was a native of Roun-
dout, Now York, where his parents
now reside. Ho was but a few months
over twenty one years of age, and had
been engngod, previous to the war, on
several vessels trading betweon New

Tho Reaction In Now York.
A gentleman who has .arrive, at his
homo in the South, after a sojourn ol
about six weeks in New York—having
been fitken with a captured vessel in
attempting to run the blockade- says
the reaction for pence is making swift-
though silont progress,
Meetings of seoret organizations mid
parties were held nightly. One of these
parties, said to comprise a very large
numborof the most influential citizens,
put forth the following vemnrkablo
propositions for a termnntion of tho
war;
First. A cessation of all hostilities
or armistice.
Second. Eaoh party to pay its own
debt.
Third. The resignation or deposition
of Abraham Lincoln, and a new elec
tion in all tlio States for a new Presi
dent-.
Fourth. All the rights of the South
to bo guaranteed by special amendments
to the Constitution nnda reconstruction
of the Union.
Fifth. Failing in tho above, a Gene
ral Convention to be held and terms of
separation ngreod upon, with a treaty
ofleusivo and defensive.CYtaj. Cour.
A distinction must bo taken, says the
Richmond Whig, between tho British
Government and the British peoplo.—
While the prejudices of . the Govern
ment are against us, the.sympathies of
the masses are with us.
This is to bo interred from tho tone of
the British pross, and her .Statesmen
disconnected wP-h tho Government.
It is Iruo, that out of an abundant cau
tionj they will give Lord Palmerston
tho time ho asks ; but., sooner or later,
however reluctantly, tho sense of the
British public, and tho valor of South
ern troops, will foreo from him recogni
tion or resignation.
A Deserter’s Statement.
A deserter from McClellan’s army
whojhas arrived in Petersburg, upon
being interrogated as to tho effect pro
duced by our night attack upon Mo
Clellan’s cump and fleet, stilted that it
produced quite a panic, both upon
Innd and water. Several of the .urtny
were killed, others were seriously
wounded, and ninny of the vessels
Were cut to pieces; He states that
many of tho men who sought protec
tion behind big trees, wore violently
thrust nside by their more athletic
comrades, and their places of security
immediately appropriated.
A pay master who commenced his
disbursments during the afternoon of
the day preceding tlio night Attack, be
came paralyzed with fenr, and in- this
alarm lost over $151),000, which was
uover recovered. It was found by tho
soldiers and stealthily secreted, and
although every effort was made by
search usd inquiry to recover the Fede
ral Treasury notes, they never were re
stored to the Paymaster. It ts said that it
suit has been instituted against the se
curities of the unfortunate and badly
frightened disburser of Lincoln's funds,
to recover of them tho amount of the
loss.
FROM MCHMMOND.
Richmond, Aug.-30.~-'The Lynchburg
Republican says that John S. Carlisle,
who represented tho Pierpont usurpa
tion in the Lincoln Senato, is stumping
the Western part of Virginia against
the wav-ami for tho South. At Clarks
burg, Va., ho said he wu3 no longer in
favor of the wav, but with tho South
ugainst the anti-slavery party. It wus
folly, hoauid, to talk of subjugating the
South.
It is represented that the enemy

Three hundred of our guerillas mov
ed in two parties against the Yankee
cump. with tho intention of nttneking

the pickets and took the Yankees com
pletely by surprise, rushing headlong
nto their camp, which consisted of
five regiments of cavalry and night of
infantry. Tho otjie'p party fuiled in
attacking. Consequently their small
force was repulsed (ttid passed . by the
Yankees, but succeeded in bringing
off a number of prisoners. Our loss
will not exceed fifteen. Tho attacks
made were reckless, and tho escape
of all our force is considered as a mira
cle.

in creating a new army. Thpy are not
only in earnest, but they m-o madly,
terribly in earnest. They will not only
recruit the new army of six hundred
thousand men, but thoy will do it spee
dily. Beforo next January they will bo
ready to repent the invasion of Ihe
South with nil the advantages which'
experience has taught them. The seo-
ond invasion .will be moro formidable
than the first; because of thededperato
determination with which it will bo
made. Before they were over-confident
nnd their ingress was attended by mauy
exhibitions of inenution And -neglect.—
They considered their work already
done before they had fairly commen
ced it., This will no longer-be the case.
Their preparation will bo thorough,
and every movement will bo inspired

C'crinteifoit Confederate Note*.
As thousands of these notes are in

Tho sailor in the left hand corner

In the genuine, tho crown of the

will return to their colors by a named
day, anddistinotly declaring that ho will

Congress will pass some low enabling

the really guilty parties in most cases of
desertion. It is their criminal negleot
of duty that occasion* the entire relax

there is.no law to punish'them let ono
be made.”
