It is n't! pm of Gen. Bragg’s present

pursue a more comprehensive plan.
She march of this army from Chatta

In a lit tie over two weeks, Gen. Bragg
has transported his great train of ord

nnd two rivers, nnd marched 300 miles.
At every movo he has deceived, out
generaled and out-flatiked Buell, who
is now making his way to Louisville.
Op the march he compelled tho surren

The French Emperor on Recognition.
The continued successes of the Con
federates, and the decided superiority
which their armies, nnd still more, t'leir
Gcnerals seotn to havo established over
those of their antagonists, naturally
embolden the hopes of the Southern
sympathizers for their recognition by
England and Franco. That the Em
peror is very much disposed to adopt
that oourso there cannot bo any doubt.
It is no secret, and it is quite certain,
that, to various English gentleman,who,,
toing lately over in France, at Chalons
or St. Cloud, had intorviewB with him
in which tho subject was broachod, ho
did not conceal the view ho look on
the question, as deoidedly favorable to
recognition, and his wish that the En
glish Government could bo brought to
adopt it.' How far this is likely to bo
the core you are better situated to judge
thau I urn. All I can tell you on the
matter is, that there are persons hero,
Confederates'and friends of Coo feder
ates, who profess to have reasons for
knowing Unit tho Ann-.rican question is
to ho made, some time in tho course of
next month, the subject of very serious
deliberations or. the part of tlio British
Cabinet—deliberations which those
same persons hope may possibly at no
very remote dute, lead to tho recogni
tion they so greatly dosira. And tin

From our Army in Northern Virginia
Xhero seems to bo a general impres
sion that-our own forces nnd thosoof
the enemy iti’tho vicinity of the Poto
mac, are on the ovo of a determined
collision. 'This impression is strength
ened ; by thp statements gathered from
passengers who enmo down oh tho Con
trol train from Staunton yesterday af
ternoon. From theso we learn that on
Tuesday Inst tho enemy, in considera
ble fores, advanced from Harnor’s Fer
ry nk far ns Chnrlestown, shelling that
place from » point about ono milo arid
a hnll-’onst of iho town. Ascertained
ing that (he town was unqocupiod by
our forces, they moved up nnd took
possession. • ' '
On Wednesday evening our cavalry’
pickets at Martinsburg -fell back, and
roportod tho advance of a column of
tho onomy on the Williamsport road.
The force of tho enemy in and around
Harper’s Ferry ft said to be very heavy,
Tlio division ooinmnntied by Gon. Geary
occupies tho Loudcun Heights. U 1b
supposed that their main force has
crossed, or intends to cross at the Fer
ry. Tho force which reached Charles
town Tuesday is believod to. be tho ad
vance of t-heirarnty.
From all accounts tlio. condition of
our army is excellent. Tho barefooted

brilliant triumph.—Richmond Dispatch

The Army in Northern Virginia,
Tho information fsom. our army on
tlio boi-der, received since Saturday
morning, is rather contradictory, and
such as to lead to tlio serious doubt as
to tho movements in'.operation there.
From r.ll that- lias transpired for a woCk
past,'ns reported to us, wo indulged
tlio belief that a great battla was immi
nent, but our reports for the past two
days rather incline ■ us to the opinion
that tho enemy doos not mean to risk
mi engagement in tho lower Valloy.—
Eurly in the day yesterday it was asser
ted that a fight was commenced near
Martinsburg on Saturday afternoon, but
atycrkliligent inquiry wo wove satisfied
tlmt tlio report had no ' foundation in
fact.
Lieut. McGrudar, of tho Purcell
Battery, who loft our army on Thurs
day, states no attqok by tho enemy-had
been made up to that time. A cavalry
skirmish lutd occurred near Ain't ins-
burg the day previous, in which the

Moore, tlA numbor of sick arid woun

is 9(1/508. Cf ilieso 0,774 have boon
lotghcd, 2,341 havo boen discharged,
,003 have died. It will bo seen
tUt tho deaths are a little in excess of
ven per cont. of tho whole number
received in the hospitals. At the Chim
borazo hospital wliero tlioro were re
ceived 24,803 patients, there havo oc
curred 2,033 dentes. At tho Winder
hespitid 22,874 patient", and tho deaths
hkvc numbered only 1,271, a little over
five por centum.
Ton per centum is the averago of
deatVibinthe hospitals under the ox
elusive charge of males, whilo in those
under the exclusive ohargo ot ladies
the average is under six por cont. Tho
whole numbor of patients now inlioE-
pitals iri nnd about Richmond is 10,720.

Salt.—Wo have a letter before its
describing a discoycry of salt, not very
remote from this, which promises toy icld
a great abundnneo of that precious and
necessary article of consumption. It
is found in lumps weighing ahout

A Noble Bov.—A friend from Holly
Springs related to us tho following in
cident, which occurred in Jackson,
Tennessee, * few days ago. Little Ben
nio Malone, a boy about ton yours of
age, nnd son of Dr. B. J. Malone, of
Jueksdn, resented manfully an insult
offered liis mother by one of the infa
mous Yankees quartered there, by
striking him a severe blow on the head
with a rock. Standing by a squad ot
Yankees, on tho sidewulk, ho heard
one of tliom uso some insulting lan
guage about his mother as bIio passed
them, wiion he said: ’Sir, she is my
mother,” to which tho ohivalrio Yan
kee replied; “I don’t care a d—d it she
is.” At this moment tho littlo fellow
lot fly a rock which brought tho oocurs-
ed Yankee to the ground whence ho
was carried to liis quarters. Wlien last
hoard from ho was considered to be in
a precarious condition, and foars were
entertainod that ho might recover. Lit
tie Bennie was arrested and carried bo-
foro tho military authorities, but upon
u hoaring of tho case ho was reloased.

The Death of. ft Soldier.
"Porsohne,” of tho Charleston Cou

feCthig incident: - . . .. .
Olio of the most allecting incidents
that l witnessed yesterday, wus whtis
standing over a dying Georgian. *
voung mitn, not more than 2G years of
age, named John-S. Hudson, ot Elbert
county. His left leg hud been torn off
above the knee, and, though be knew
liis case was hopeless, a brother had
brought him from the field, that Ins last
hours might bo spent ’in peace, uway-
from the noiso and brcils of battle.
The brother was tenderly kneeling over
him, smoothing his brown curly hair
perhups as he used to do when they
were children together, and the blue
eyes of tho dying man were fusioned
upon his, as if ho would speak volumes
of adieus to the dear ones at homo. It
was not without difficulty that he final
ly spoke, und these wero his lost words:
Brother—tell mother that l die-re-
Desperate Gallantry.—The oharge
of Senator Toombs and a portion of bis
brigade at Sharpsburg, to recover his
battery taken by the enemy, was an act
of deiparato heroism unsurpassed in the
wholo wttr. As soon as ho discovered
that his battery had been captured, ho
dism°unted from his horse, and address
ing his.mon in a fewjburtiiog words; told
them, ho would not .outlive the capture
of his guns, and demanded if they would
follow him to the death. A shout was
tho answer, and placing himself at their
head, tho column descended, like an
avalanche amidst tempests of fire, upon
more than ten times their number.. re
took the battery in less than twenty
minutes after its capture and carried it
baok with shouts of triumph. Hurrah
