Editorial Correspondence.
Winchester, Va., Sop. I lth.
Dear Courier: Since ctosing my let
ter of the 2d inst., I liavcnot 'been
been with the army. I was sent to the
rear after the battle of Aug. 30th, on
aocount of Indisposition, and went to
Salem and roraatned there until the
8th inst., when I came here. There
were large numbers of men, v-lio, from
sickness and exhaustion, had brokon
down on the march, beforo arriving at
the battle field of Bull Run, making
quite an army of stragglers. As early
as Tuesday the 2d inst., wo could hear
that Jackson, A.P. Hill and Longstreet
were all oh the movo, but which way
they wore tending was not so easy to
learn.
On Saturday it seemed to be a well
authenticated (aot, that all three of the
above named Generals, with their for
ces, had erossod tho Potomac in tho
vicinity of Leesburg. This is now
known to be true. We cannot learn
here the exaet position of our forces in
Marylund—probably they aro in the
vicinity of Frederick City, All sting-
glers and men in the rear of our army
when it left Bull Run, were ordered to
this place, whore they were to await
orders. There aro now nearly two
thousand men here, who have como in
in squads of from two to fifty; some
fcvV with arms, but most ot them with
out them. There are also here hun
dreds of wagons and teams, ordered to
report and await orders. Things seem
to be somewhat confused. The cause
is probably owing to the fact that a Fed
eral force still lingers between this
place and the Potomno, that was ex
pected to have run bofore now. Thoy
are said to bo in poscession of Chnrles-
town, Hsrper’s Ferry and Martinsburg
as well as some intermediate points.
We can got very little satisfactory news
either froth our own or the Federal
army. The scattered and disorganized
troops hero, ate very anxious to git to
their regiments, but are not ullowed*to
leave. . !
Winchester is completely cleaned
out, so far as goods are concerned. The
Yanks evacuated on the night of Tues'
day the 2d inst,, after destroying all
their stores, except a small quantity of
provisions in one store house—probably
overlooked in the hurry—nfiB some
cannon balls and a small quantity of
powder. Thoy spiked and left in their
places in the fortifications, nine large
cannon.
The citizens who had been run off by
the vandals are returning, glad enougii
to find thoir homes once more surroun
ded with sympathetic hearts and • co
operative arms. Tho stores are nearly
all closed, and those open have only a
few remnants of goods that aro nearly
valueless. The Fedorals did not steal
‘very rouoli grain in this vicinity, but
thoy took every fine, serviceable horse
they could liiy their vile hands ou. In
some cases they gavo a receipt for prop
erty.
It 1ms been exceedingly dry hero for
some weeks, and tho corn crop has suf.
fored materially.
It is expected that a force will soon
bo sent, to clean out the Fedorals this
side of the River. It seeinstjmtby
good management on the part of. our
Generals, the last ono might be bagged.
Wliy thoy have not run before this
time, seems very strange, inasmuch as
the main body of our army Is now'near*
ly between them and the main Federal
army, an.) in a situation to cut off their
supplies. But whatever they may do
or attempt, Gen. Loo will be sure to
whip them out in some way or an
other.
Wo are completely shut out here
from newspapers—having seen none of
later date than the 3d inst.—and of
course are exceedingly anxious to hear
tho news.
Sett. 12, 9 o’clock, A. M.—No news
.has yet been received. The stragglers
continue to come in; there are now
probably, between 2,000 and 3,000'here.
They are being thrown into temporary
organizations and put into camp. Per
haps one fourth of them have guns
and equipments. There is a rumor
afloat here this morning, to the effeot
that Jaokson is moving book aoross the
Potomac, for tho purpose of capturing
the Federals on this side.
. M. D.
From our Army.
No definite intelligence from our ar
my was received yesterday through tho
usual channels of information. Balti
more papers of the Oth, say that our
cavalry was foraging in Pennsylvania.
We learn that out commissary finds no
difficulty in proouring bacon at 10 cents
per pound in Maryland for Confederate
money, and it is stated that Gen. Leo
has intimated that no more stores nood
bo sent him.—Dm.
ISy-Tho Richmond Examiner of tho
13th,says:
Our armies have left Washington
and Baltimore altogether aside, have
done so on the deliberate plan and cal
culation of their .Generals; and have
gotio straight to the root of the matter.
In a word, they have invaded Pennsyl
vania. They stopped no longer in
Maryland than Was necessary to maroh
from tho Potomac to Gettysburg, in tbo
first named State. While in Mary
land, respect for private property was
enforced on pain of death ; but it was
well understood tknt when the column
reached Pennsylvania, its rear guard
would not leave a corn stalk behind it.
Meantime, the North is in extraordina
ry commotion. Great preparations are
being made for the defence of Harris
burg and Philadelphia. Banks Is in
command at Washington, while McClel
lan takes the field with the troops in
Maryland and Pennsylvania. As for
Pope, that unfortunate “brave” has
been sent off to fight the Indians in
Minnesota 1 Sic tranit gloria mundi l
A Good Suggestion.—'Tho Macon
Telegraph says : “ It is no doubt
true, as charged, that the exorbitant
prices of food and the miserable spirit
of speculation rampant in the land,
are in part due to .the excess of the
circulating medium. There is too
much money about; and hero we may
say, en passant that now is the time for
•very body to get out of debt. The
unhappy man who neglects this golden
opportunity to pay his debts because
he can neglect it, and waits until lie is
compelled to pay, is a ninny nt.d will
discover tho fact jn duo time. To pay
debts now is like squaring up at fifty
cents, in the dollar. The Legislature
ought to repeal the stay law except
in the oaso of soldiers in service.
ggjrThe Chattanooga Rebel says that
information has beer, received which
indicates with certainty that Bragg’s
army arrived at Glasgow, Ky., outlie
14th inst. *
Extraordinary Advance in Cotton
and Cotton Fabrics.—Tho News from
Liverpool, under date of August 28th,
that the sales of cotton for the week in
that port were 9,000 bales, and that the
Price of American cotton had advanc
ed six cents per pound, excited tho
New York market on Monday. The
■World says:
Tho domestic commission houses and
manufactureis advanced printed cotton
fabrics and delaines one or two cents
per yard, and sheetings also five per
cent. Merrimac prints, now selling at
17 cents, are oxpoctcd to be advanced
to twenty cents per yard, .and raw cot
ton will advance to GO cents por pound
at no distant date, the quotation for
middling upland being 5G cents yester
day. Tiiis is the highest price which
has been paid, at tuiy time within the
memory of “the oldest inhabitants.” *
J®“Tho Roswell (Cobb co.) Faotory
proposes to distribute gratuitously 1000
bunches of yarn to the poor' of ton
of tho adjoining counties, during the
month of October. As Floyd is one of
the fortunate recipients of this bountyi
it is to bo supposed we arc duly thank
ful.

This article lately commanded $2.60
er lb in Richmond. It is now worth
2.25 here. In a few days past, It has
tumbled down with a perfeot crash in
Riohmond—a largo lot being offered
there a few days ago at $1 10, which
wasnot taken,—Cor\fed. *
A Good Examele.—The Governor of
Alabama has issued a circular calling
upon tho women of that Stato to make
socks for the 50,000 men she has in the
field, and who cannot be -clothed with
tho small sum allowed them' for that
purpose, whilst everything is so high.
Incident.—It is said, after General
Smith led the gallant charge, which is
mentioned, he came riding by the Ar
kansas “boys,” when one of their num
ber, not knowing the rank of tho Gene
ral, but supposing him to be an offioer of
one of the regiments, and recognizin-
him ns the kero wholed tliecharge, criei
out, “three cheers for old spectacles!”
Three tremendous cheers were given,
when the General raised his cap, enjoy
ing the fun greatly, as well as the mis
take of the man, who of course meant to
compliraont the General, but was ignor
ant of bis name.
Brier Mention.—The Board of Presi
dents of the City Passenger Railway
Companies in Philadelphia, have unan
imously adopted a resolution prohibit
ing negroes from riding in the cars.
Senator Simmons, of the county of
Rhode Island, Linoolndom, has resign
ed his seat,——At last advices wheat
had deolined 3s. per quarter in London.
Newbern, N. C., is garrisoned by
5,000 Yankee troops, under command
of Gon. Foster. * <
General Price is now on the move,
and we may expect tho most gallant
deeds from his men. West Tennessee
will, wo feel sure, soon be cleared of the
Yankees. Wo hopohowill sweepovery-
thing in his way till ho roache s Missouri,
where the people await him with longing
hearts—not less than 50,000 men of that
State panting to spring to arms at the
first tap of his drum on the soil of his
State.
An Unfortunate Bore.—General Aug-
, the Yankee officer who was so badly
bored through the back by a ball froma
Confederate musket at the battle of Ced-
ei Mountain, is lying very illin Washing
ton, with but poor prospects of recovery.
A Good Answer.—A young lady in
a Sabbath solieol, a few mornings since,
asked hor class: How- soon a child
should give its heart to God ? One lit
tle girl said : when thirteen years old,
another ten ; another six. At length
the last spoke.: “Just as soon as we
know who God is.” Could there bo
a better reply.
■ Among tho papers found on
a Yankee prisoner who lately died in
one of our hospitals, is a copy of tho in
dictment found in the U. S. District, for
Eastern Pennsylvania, against John
Mullins, of the privateer Petrel, for trea
son and nlso for piracy. One of the many
counts alleges that the defendant com
mitted and attempted to commit certain
acts on the high seas “under pretence
of authority, and of pretended. letters
of marque and reprisal then and there
pretended to be granted by a certain
notorious traitor,to wit! one Jefferson
Davis ”
Fight at Denmark, Tenn.—Intelli
gence lias reached here that on Monday
or Tuesday last, a fight cantaoff at Den
mark, Tenn., between a Federal force
and tho cavalry regiments of Cols.
Jaokson und Finson. The engagement
is said to have resulted in a drawn
battle, the loss on our side being one
hundred killed and wounded—that
of the enemy is not known. Our
troops brought oil' two hundred pris
oners and two pices of cannon.
We learn, also, that some days since
a party of C'upt. Blythe’s rangers, in
the Mississippi bottom, ambushed a
troop of Federals, killing some twonty-
five or thirty and losing none.—Knox.

Tne Biiidue over the Tennessee.'
We are gratified to be able to state
that the contract for rebuilding the
Tennessee River Bridge ha3 been
awarded to A. L. Maxwell, Jr„ who
contracts to complete the structure,
ready for the cars, in 00 days from
this time. Until the completion of
the bridge, a steam ferry boat will be
used to carry passengers across the
river. Mr. Maxwell In an experienced
bridge contractor, and will no doubt
peuform his contract to tho lotter, and
the public will be glad to know that
thus important work has been entrust
ed to Ijands so competent. Let all
bridge-tnen apply to Mr. Maxwell at
onoe, for ho has employment and
high wages for all who apply.—Rebel,
gQy-Gen. Bragg, in an address to liis
army, slated that lie was not an ambit
ious man. nota politician, and never had
the intention of running for any office,
from that of a country ejerk upward;
but he has now altered.Ids opinion,and
encouraged by the brave and dauntless
then who then surrounded him, he
announced to lUeni that he wasGubernn-
torial candidate for—-tho Stato of Ohio,
and if they would but extend that sup
port which he had so much confidence
in ho wus sure of a successful election.
The Boldest Lie Yet.—A Cairo corres
pondent of the Chicago Times says that
Buell’s “great battle of Wednesday and
Thursday, near Chattanooga, was doubt
less, one of the grandest of the war.”
He took, the writer says, about 7,000
prisoners! That’s the way, says the Mo
bile Advertiser, we like to see lying
done. Do it thoroughly. Boldly invent
tbo whole story.Jiyithout depending upon
a pitiful substratum of facts forafounda-
tioBv,and don’t bo afraid to go info miu-
ute particulars; they help to bolster up
the render’s wavering oreduiity.
The United Slates navy is now, or very
soon will be, composed of more thnn
three hundred and twenty vessels of
war, oi which a large proportion aro iron
clad gunboats. So far as the Ohio and
Mississippi aro concerned, thero aro
about twenty-five gunboats ready for
service in those rivers.
Nasittille Evaoiated.—Tho Knox
ville Register, of the, 18th says: “We
leran through a friend that a dispatch
was reoived in the oity lost evening stat
ing that Nashville is being evacuated by
the Federals in the direction between
the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers.
The, gentleman who rocoived the dis
patch cannot be mistake* in the subjeot,
and it is therefore considered reliable. ”
jjarPassengers by the Central train
last evening brought no news from.oar
army which had not been anticipated By
previous arrivois. Several parefooted
soldiers came by this train, who reported
they had been turned back at the fords
on the Potomac by orders, from General
Lee; no soldier being -permitted to
cross over into Maryland' except those
who were in perfect health arid well
shod and olad.—Pis.
