Tuesday Morning, .SoptomliprIS.
Thanksgiving. •
On next Thursday the pooplo of tlio
Confederate States are requested by the
President to devote the time to return
ing (hanks to God, for his gracious
blessing on our armies, in granting us
the victory in so many battles. In
olden times a proclamation by the
chief ruler of tlio nation for such a pur
pose, was responded to cheerfully by
old and young. May we not hopo that
nil tho people, whether professors of
roligion or not, will on that day show
their gratitude, to Almighty God, and
so far as it may bo in their power, lay
asido their business nnd gathor them-
soIvcb together at tho House of God, to
honor him for past mercios, and soolc
his favor for tho time to come? Thoro
surely cannot bo many who would deny
that God rules in tho destinies of na
tions ; but somo There may bo who
think only Christians should tnko an
interest in such services. This is tin
error, all have enjoyed tho benefits of
God’s goodnoss, nnd all should thank
him.
It is pleasing to God that for nation
al sins a nation should repent, for na
tional morcics a nation should bo greot-
ful. “Como let us worship ; let us bow
down ; let us kneel beforo tlio Lord'our
maker; lei all the people praise him.

[Communicated,
The President lias appointed Thurs
day, 18th September, as a day of
Thanksgiving'to Almighty God, for tho
rocent successes over tho invaders and
onomies of our country. Would it not
bo right for such- of us as arc ablo, to
show our thankfulness by deeds as well
as words, and to make our thank offer
ings in the way of contributions to a
fund for the relief of tho widows and
orphans of tho brave soldiers whoso
lives have )»een given for the defenoo
of us and all we have f This suggqgtiou
is commended to ministers of the Gos
pel, and with the aid of newspapers
publishers, the action might be general
throughout tho Confederacy.

Handsome Afiuir at Williamsburg.
On Tuesday morning last a cavalry
forec, consisting of a portion of the
Holcombo Legion, of South Carolina,
(wo compnnios of Virginia and one of
Georgia cavalry, in all numbering somo
370 men, ninde a brilliant dash upon
tlio enemy at Williamsburg, in which
they succeeded in inflicting a prolty
severe punishment on tho nest of
Yankee thieves quartered in that
place.
About suniise, our scouts came up
with those of the onemy one mile from
the town, on tho Contrevillc Road. A
brisk skirmish ensued, in which the
Yankees were routed, leaving several
of tiieir number dead on the field. Our
forces followed quickly after them and
soon entered the town, whore tlioy en
countered some 800 of tho foe, who
fired upon thorn from behind houses
nnd other concealed points. Tho fight,
which was a sevoro ono, lasted nbout
fifteen minutes, when tho enemy broke
nnd run in tlio direction of (heirenmps
nbout a mile nud a half below Williams
burg. Between tho town nnd their
camps they made nnothcr stand, and
drew up in line of bottle in. an open
field. Our forces wore immediately
drawn up in lino to attack them, and
tho order given to charge.
Tiiis was too much for the timid
Yankees, and after a volley or two
from their carbines, tlioy! fled from tlio
field in oonfnsion, leaving rnoro dead
and wounded to tlio care of our men-
Tlioy were pursued to their camps,
which they quickly deserted, and only
stopped when thoy had found shelter
in Fort Magruder, some distance below
Williamsburg.
Our forces were under the command
of Col. Shingler, of tlio Holcombe Le
gion. Our loss in tlio fight was two
killed nnd five or six wounded ; that of
the enemy not loss than sixty killed
and wounded. Besides theso, our for.
ces captured 110 Yankees nnd 16 con
trabnnds, also seventy ono horses nnd
20 or 25 enrbinos. Among the priso
ners was one Colonel and tho Military
Governor of Williamsburg, named
Campbell.

The Battle of Richmond, Ky.
Richmond, -Kv., Aug. 30 ( 1862.
God blessed us with a great viotory
yesterday, nnd this morning finds us
enjoying tho blessings of tlio Ynnltco
camp. We camped ‘.with Gen Smith
fifteen milos.from Richmond,‘and early
next morning wo proceeded to moot
tlio onomy. who woro seven miles from
Richmond. Tlio road was crowded for
miles with infantry nnd artillery, so
that Gon. Smith had to pnss through
fields in order to gain tlio front. As lie
passed nlong tlio lines I never heard
such cheering for Gen, Smith. I think
troops never were moro eager for battle
nor more sure of success. About 8
o’clook the boom of artillery was evi
dence that the ball wus opened. Soon
the contest became hot and general.—
Volley after volley of musketry was
poured in upou them, and for nbout
two hours tho bnttlo raged with great
fury. Tho .fight lasted about four
hours, when' they gavo way, falling
back two miles. Claybonio was woun
ded early in tlio engagement, and Col.
Filzgerrel, of tho 15th Tennessee, was
killed. After refreshing a short timo
on tiro contents oi Yankee haversacks,
thoy were again attacked and routed a
second timo, lulling back to town.—
Notwithstanding our men had been
marching for wcoks and enduring nil
tlio privations nonrly that men couili
enduro, tliop fought liko they had boon
■’csting for a month.
Three miles from town now, Captain
Owens’ company of cnyalry, with skir
mishers on either sido of the road,
marched down tho pike towards town,
taking prisoners all along ns we went.
When wo came in sight of town wo
found tho enemy drawn up in line of
battlo on this side, 'ill front of tho
graveyard. Tho brigade which had
been sent out on tlio Crab Orchard
ond by Genoral Smith, was now form
ing on tho hill to tlio right. Wo took
some prisoners in front of their lines
and tlioy looking at us. Wo returned
back and tlio infantry and artillery
moved up, and a third attack was
made about 5 p.m. The artillery play-
od a while and then tho fight was en-
teroly with small arms. For nboqt
half an hour tho fight was tlio hottest
I over heard. They could not stand
tlio unerring fire from our undnuntod
men any longer, and they gave way, a
third time, in utter confusion, leaving
all their artillery but ono piece, which
tho cavalry took.
At 6 o’clock the army entered tho
town amid tlio dead rumbling of flying
artillery, tho franticsliqutBjof victorious
thousands and tlio waving of handker
chiefs. Tho groat excitement and con
fusion did not prevent the kind-heart
ed ladies from coming to tho edge of
tho streets with buckets of, water to re
lievo tlio most famished soldiers, and
wclcomo them ns friendly visitors.—
Tlio artillery rushed to tlio far side of
the town and a few shots were fired at
the retreating foe. nnd then tlio cavalry
turned loose. Cols. Scott, Starnes and
Morrison, had made a circuitous march
while the last battlo was being fought,
and got in tho rear of the enemy.—
About 10 o’clock the now3 enmo that
the whole army was captured nnd de
moralized.
Their number was estimated by Gen
Smith at 10,000. They lost nbout 4,000
to 5,00 killed, wounded nnd prisoners
all their artillery, ammunition, commis.
saries, &o. Their rout was complete
and their loss about fivo to one of ours,
Gen, Bull Nelson was wounded and re
ported captured. Gen. Munson, sec
ond in command, was captured. One
Gonurnl killed.
After the fight was over, Gon. Smith
rode along the lines, ar.d never; never
have I heard such shouting and rejoic
ing. Gen. Smith raised his lint and
said, "Hurrah, my bravo boys, you have
dono the best day’s work ever done in
tlio Southorn Confederacy.”
May this only bo tho commencement
of a series of brilliant victories to Gen.
Smith. May his laurels bo as bright
and as lasting as his marches have boon
hard and toiling.

NollTlI WESTERN VIRGINIA.— A d vicOS
received in this city yesterday give
strong hope that the Piepont. dynassy
in Northwestern Virginia will very soon
terminate its existence. Our forces are
making inroads in that section which
it is confidently boliovod will speedily
ond in ridding that portion of the Stato
of tho disloyalty with which it lias
heretofore been cursed. A few days
sinco Buchannon, in Upsher county,
was occupied by our forces under Gen.
A. G. Jenkins, lntemombevof Congress

more & Ohio and Northwern & Virgin

ple of tho country were flocking to his
standard gy hundreds, and it was ex
pected that in a brief period of timo he
would have a force sufficient to wipe

JUAID OF GEORGIA.
11V 3. R. BARRACK.
Maid of Georgia 1 to thy home
Like n floating*waif I came,
Like one ever doomed to roam,
With no cherished hopo or aim.
Soon with siniio of welcome, thou
Bado the sadness flee my brow,
Bade me moro than welcome bo,
In thy hpmc, so liko to theo.
Maid of Georgia 1 from my home,
O’er tlio world 1 listless go;
From tlio 'oved ones thoro I roam,
While their fato I pannot know ;
’Twixt our destinies nre roared,
Prison gates by tyrants bared,
'Twixt tlioir lives nnd mine, Oh, God]
Waves, at will, I lie despot’s rod.
Maid of Georgia! I have long
Been n pilgrim in tho world,
Caught mino ear no welcome song,
To mino eye no smilo unfurled ;
Cold tho look that met my own,
As 1 wandered sad and lono ;
But in’tliine n deeper light.
Rose to greet thestrrthger’s sight.
Maid of Georgia 1 well I know >#
Life to tlioo is very sweet,
With no tear of grief or wo,
E’er its dreams of bliss to greet.
All around and all above,
All things bless tlioo with their lovo,
All things borne on golden wing,
Smiles and sunshine to thee bring.
Maid of Georgia! Oh, how blest!
As ye pass each little bird,
Comes to whisper in your breast,
Love’s own sweet delicious word ;
Every flower of light and bloom,
Loads to theo its sweet porfumo ;
Every star in Heaven above;
Has for thee an eyo of lovo.
Maid of Georgia! care and wo,
On my life may darkly tend;
Wlmt will bo I would not know,
Peck not where the dreams may end
.Still, one. thing 1 fondly doom,
On its gloom thy smile will beam,
Ono star on its pathway shine,
With tho rosy light of thine.
Rome, Ga., Aug. 18C2.
Cincinnati not Cupturcd.
The Cincinnati Commercial ot tlio Gth
lias been received, which contains the
following article contradictory of tho
report that Gon. Smith was in front of
that city.
Tho excitement among tho pooplo
of tlio country north ot Cinoinmiti,
who nro most intimately connected
with us by social and business ties, at
the news that this city wus menaced
by the enemy, has fur surpassed any
thing that wo [ever witnessed here.—
The most extravagant reports have
been circulated and widoly credited
I t lias been believed in some quar
ters that the rebels linve crossed the
Ohio at various points in great force.—
The church bells have rung alarms.—
Companies without number have or
ganized. lliilcs have boon collected
and ammunition prepared. Tho fur
mors have mounted their horses and
turned out vvitn their wagons, taking
witli them provisions, blankets and
horse feed, and started for tlio city iu
immense processions.
Tho rnilroads have been asked to
bring in the companies thronging all
tho stations. Tho idea of danger of
invasion has electrified the whole com
munity. The clangor of angry partisan
disputation has been silenced. Those
who have been reproaching each other
ns abolitionists, and secession, sympa
thizers, have forgotton their controver
sy and have taken down their rifles.
As to tho extent of tho danger tlio
proclamation of which hns called par
tisans, merchants ■ and farmers, from
town and country to present themselves
here in arms, thoro is unquestionably
real danger.' Tho force of tho onomy
that has invaded Kentucky is formid
able. It consists of pretty well disci
plined and very well armed troops.—
They have efficient cavalry and nrtillo-
ry.
They aro animated by success, and
thirsting iutensly to carry tlio war into
tho North. They nro ably lead, and aro
recruiting rapidly.in Kentucky. Tlioy
nnnounco tho purpose of retaining
to Kentucky at all hazards, and their
great ambition is to take and destroy
Cincinnati;
The alarm which lias pervaded tho
country is not false, it is truo nnd sig
nificant. Movements of tho enemy
aro definitely ascertained to bo in this
direction, it would scorn a rash enter
prise in them tef attack Cincinnati, but
tlioy aro enterprising to audacity. Wo
must bo prepared bo for mom.
The vobols aro reported, with artille
ry, within forty miles of Cincinnati.—
A dispatch from Falmouth, ICy., dated
at ono o’clock, this morning, reports
tho robels in four miles of that place,
with artillery. Falmouth is forty miles
from Cincinnati, on tho Covington and
Lexington railroad It is situated at
tho fork of tho Licking river, and
Late News.
Richmond, Sept. 12.—An official dis
patch lias boon received at the War
Department, from Gen. Lee, confirm
ing the successful entry of our army in
to Maryland. Gen. Lee’s dispatch is
dated at his hcadbunrters, Frederick,
lie snys the Yankees destroyed a vast
amount of army stores, nnd took to
flight as our army approaehod.
Tlio citizens of Maryland Were or
ganizing for war throughout tho Stato,
and especially at Baltimore. Largo
accessions to tho Confederate army
woro coming in daily and others en route
for his camp.
Gen. Stuart’s cavalry had captured a
large number of boats, laden with car
goes of provisions and other valuable
products, ou tho Chessupenko,and Ohio
Canal.
The Marylanders in Virginia are all
in a blaze and intoxicated witb the
prospect ot an early redemption of
their beloved Stato. Those in Rich
mond nre rapidly leaving in companies
under Brig. Gen. G. H. Stuart, of Mary
land.
Sovonty-fivo thousand Confederate
troops have crossed over into Mary
land—Jackson, Longstreet, Wells, and
tlio two Hills, in command.
Stewart’s cavalry, at last accounts,
was at tho Relay House, threatening
Baltimore,
Gon. Bragg is supposed to have turn
ed his course towards Louisvillo, and,
probably will reach there by Saturday
next.
