Richmond, July 19tb, 1961.
Ia a meat latter to the Confederacy, I ven-
lured the opioioa that the impatient clamor
ing of Greeley and other Republican leader*
would force Lincoln to beaten in hi* 'work of
Invading the Booth. In thi* it appear* that I
waa not mistaken. AX nay rate, there baa been
great activity in the movement* of the eoe*
my’a army for the laat week, aud whether
these movements were quiokened by the laah
of Greeley k Co., or not, i* immaterial. The
enemy haa made several forward movemants,
the detaili of which It ia nsaleas to describe
here. It ia afficientte aay that it is evident the
Republicans are going to make a desperate ef
fort to overrun Virginia, and it i* morally cer
tain that their efforts will totally fail.
The Congressional Globe, containing full de
bates of tba Federal Congress, haa reached
here. The speeches made upon Lincoln’s war
measures were brief, and, in eandor, wa must
confess, that they were to th« point. The Ro-
publicans, without reserve or hesitation, sus
tained all of Lincoln’s usurpations. They vot
ed him everything be asked for, and more, too.
He called for $400,600,000, they voted him
$500,000,600. He asked for 400,000 men, they
voted him half a million. Senator Baker, of
Oregon, in a brief speech, boldly advocated
the policy of formally conferring dictatorial
powers upon hit “personal and political
friend,” Linooln. The Yankee President, long
since, assumed dictatorial authority, and baa
been exercising it to its fullest extent- It is,
therefore useless for Congress to attempt to en
large his powers. Any such effort would be a
ridiculous farce. Lincoln is now, practically,
an autocrat.
I have recently obtained information in re
gard to the condition of things North, which I
consider perfectly reliable, and highly valua
ble. The information is derived from a most
intelligent gentleman, and a man of good
judgment. He is a thorough Southerner, who
happened to be in New York when the exist
ing troubles commerced, and remained in that
city, Philadelphia, and other localities, (at
tending to indispensable business matters,)
until last week, when he returned to hi* na
tive Bouth. I give a brief summary of soma
of the information thus derived.
The North is deplorably ignorant in regard
to the condition of the South. Tho people
there are mielead into the belief that the whole
Bouth is Buffering distress—-‘that the people are
everywhere upon the point of starvation—that
our people are divided—that there is a slum
bering element of Unionism throughout the
slave States, resdy to burst oat as soon as they
are released from the terrorism which, It is al
leged* the Secessionists exercise over them.—
This being the prevalent opinion, of coarse it
follows that oar speedy conquest is confidently
anticipated by our Northern enemies. They
think the war will be a abort ona—that we
cannot hold out against our invaders.
The North ie suffering greatly from the
pending war. Bo great ia the depreesion in
every branch of business there, that, notwith
standing the belief that we could be soon con
quered, there are dormait element! which
would rouse up and form tbemselvea Into a
formidable peace party, if they bad on oppor
tunity. If the public mind were left to Us
natural working, there would in a little time
be such a division in the North that Lincoln
would be measurably paralysed. The Repub
lican leaden see thie, and will take good care
to defeat it. They are resolved that the popu
lar mind shall be chained down to that it can
not defeat their tyranlcal measures. They
will repreea all popular discontent, if to do so
it be necessary to organise a gigantic military
police, and spread it like a net-work ell ever
the North. This, indeed, would be *n availa
ble use to make of a large portion of the vast
army which they have raised, and which they
must maintain. They could not disband their
army if they were to try. An attempt to do
•o would result in the speedy destruction of
the men or men who attempted it.
Therefore, a military rule in the North is
inevitable. The last popular election has bean
held in the non slaveholding States. The for
malities of voting may be gone through with,
but such a thieg as fret, independent voting,
will never be enjoyed there again. So nartain
is this, that aspirants for ths dictatorship or*
increasing. Lincoln sonfldently looks forward
to the. perpetuation of power. Andrew
Johaaen is dreaming of the imperial purpl*.

Fifty barrels of flour, as many of hard bis

W* bad ihrsa or four hoars leisure to stroll
about the camp and its vioinity. I wss anx
ious to ascertain something about ths number
killed in the various skirmishes. It was not
difficult to find new made graves—two In one
place, six ia another, four in another, aud to
on. One gentleman counted thirty-nine.—
Some were distinguished by heads boards,
with the initials written in penoil, and oibsrs
appeared to have been buried in treuobes —
In one place is a grave, carefully turfed, and
enclosed by a rail fence on the head board is
tbe simpls word, "Colonel.” It is supposed
to be the grave of Col. Ramsey, of the Geor
gia regiment, though nothing oould he defin
itely ascertaiued aa to bis idtn ity

In a bouse near by we found (wo wounded
Georgians and n half a dozen sick Virginians
They aeemed quite surprised that we did not
bayonet them, and amazed that our aurgeous
promptly prescribed for them. One told me
they had seid tbeir prayers that morning, ex
pecting to be massacred. He said that many
had died of the measles, and that (heir loss
was not so great by fighting as we thonght
I also ascartained that the shot and shell
thrown by Darnell’s artillery, at a distance of
nearly two miles, had come " nearer home”
than we supposed. Two balls struck near
General Garnett’s marque, and several of the
shells exploded among the tents. A Georgian
told me that the men felt so insecure that tbe
officers found it impossible to persuade or en
farce them t* sleep in (heir tents. They laid
in tbe trenches and bushes all night rather
than run the risk of a shell or shot disturb
ing their slumbers.
Many memorandums wars picked np that
officer* bad made of our skirmishing?, in
which they intened to report our loss at aev*.
eral hundred. Here ia a earn pie from a Geor
gian’s diary, which wojAmnded to me on the
ground:
"Figbt with them occasionally up to this
date, Thursday, 11th. Fighting mostly In
diana fashion. Our loss only ona'or (wo;
tbsirs, according to the best estima-e, eereral
hundred ! They invariably shoot too high."
This writer says the following letter was
found in tbe camp. It was in a pocket book
which was picked up, containing also the min-
fature of a handsome lady, whom be supposes
to be the “ Jennie ” to whom the letter was ad
dressed. From some things mentioned in the
letter, we have but little doubt of its genuine-
new, and that the writer was a member of
Captain Adams’ company, from Augusta, Ga.
We well knew young Adams, of Elbert, refer,
ed to in the letter, whose death we now record
with pain. We had previously heard of his
desth, but did not know its certainty. We
know he would greatly have preferred to fall
in deadly conflict with the vile invaders of our

Indiana, who were in advance. It was now
abortive effort was made to form the men into
line in tbe forest, but it was found necessary
to oavauce to more open ground, Xjs they
approached the brisk of tbe mountain, which
they found looked directly down upon the
enemy, bebu>d breastworks of logs—on an
opposite spur, the rebels fired a shell which
buret near Cel. Loader, and severely wound
ed his horse. Tbe rebels followed with grape
and caanister, firing some twenty rounds, all
of them too high, besides our men were order
•d to lie down, and advenes at intervale;
meantime, Gen Rosecran’ndiseovered tbe two
six pounders which played upon them. Both
were considerably in advenes of ths rebel en
trenehtuehis—protected on tbe right flank by
a log liable. Occasionally there was an in
terlude of musketry ou both sides, either par
ty watching an opportunity to make good
shots. Tbe enemy generally fired too low,
while our boys made excellent ones. After
considerable difficulty—partially owing to the
impraotieability of the ground, and partially
to the eagerness of tbe men to rush in pell
mell—the General finally formed the column
—the 10th Iodiaos, Co). Munson, on the
right; tbe 8th, under Col. Benton in the cen
ter; the 13th, Col Sullivan, on the left, and
flanking toward tbe front. Tbe 19th was
placed In reserve, a half mile in the rear. Col
Beatty commanding—under Capt. Kingbbury.
Acting Assistant Adjutant General. After
considerable promiscuous skirmishing, during
which some of our men fell and a number
were wounded, the enemy alto suffering se
verely, a large body of ths rebels uoder cover
of their batteries,, broke over and charged
across the road some fifty yards towards
column. Tbs Iloosiera laid still in iho gras?
until they were ordered to fire; indsmly
every man was ou bis fret, and poured into
the daring rebels a tnurderou* volley.
large number fell, and tbe remainder prudent
ly retired to ©over again. Our lads again
broke line and went to fighting on tlirir on
book The I3tli Indiana was returned to li
reserve, and ibe li»ib Ohio advanced to i
plsoe. Lauder daringly leaped upon a big
rock, in full view of the enemy, and wanted
to know " why in tbe h—1 the lioosiers didn’t
form by platoons.” He begged a few men to
follow bis directions, and take the batteries in
ten minutes. A lieutenant and twenty men
yielded to him, and deployed as skirmishers
to piok off tbe gunners. The General, mean
time, was dashing gallantly among the men
with their Colonels, and reforming them. At
length he gave the order to Manson and Ben
ton to take the batteries. The skirmishers
let drive and did cruel execution upon the
gunners. Tbe Tenth and Eighth dashed
down lhaJuli like a thunderbolt, en masse, aud
the guns were taken. Tbe 10th had the hon
or of taking one gun—anti the honor of cap
turing the other is a disputed point, Benton’s
men claiming it. It is hard to say who did
most of the bttsiuess, sit ce tiny all "went
in” together like fiends incarnate. The lads
now made short work of it, aud the 19th
Ohio, who had steadily obeyed orders, had a
chance, of whioh they availed themselves
quiokly, to let drive two cleverly executed
volleys full upon tbe rebels, who were making
their final stand. But (he work was too hot
for them, and the brave rebels, after making
a gallant fight, fled over the hill to tbeir main
positions, our troops pursuing them with
fierce yells of triumph, and giving them an
occasional shot to promote their flight.
The battle raged an hour and twenty min
utes. Some of the firing we beard at camp
was partially from feint guns entirely within
the rebel lines. The roar of battle part of
tbe time was terrific. It eouuded as if 10,000
tnen had been in pitohed battle. We lost 10
killed and 20 wounded. The enemy lost at
least 100 killed aud as many wounded. Eighty
one of their dead bodies have been found and
respectfully buried. Some of their wounded,
and perhaps four of ours will die. But one
commissioned Federal officer—Capt. Chris.
Miller—was severely wounded, and it is feared
his injury will prove mortal. lie was shot
through the right lung. His comrades aasert
that he was the best officer in the tegiment.
This correspondent says every preparation
was made for a final and decisive battle the
uext day--tbe 12th ; but that at early dawn a
courier from Rosecran’s came in and reported
the evacuation of tbe rebel position during tbe
night. Gen. McClellan then moved forward
with hia forces and occupied Beveerly.
Writing from that place on the 13th, the cor
respondent says:
■ At 6 o’clock this morning, a South Caroli

ths following communication:

From a copy of th* Now Yor> *• Herat!/' of
the it*. w. have further particulars of the
retreat of tho fbreos at Laurel ITllL It sosrns
that they, by some means, foamed of theevac
nation of Rich Mountain ou tho evening of
the 11th by Col. Pegram’• foroee, which was
the cause of their abandoning Laurel Hill.—
They made an effort to form a junction with
them at Bevsriy. Within throe miles of Rev
erly, thqy fouad some of tho retreating troops
from Rich Mountain, and learning the local!
tics occupied by the Federal*, found that they
could not safely proceed to Huttonsvilla, on
Tygart’s Valley River,soma ten or fifteen miles
South of Beverly, they went back in a North
erly direction, turning very soon to the right,
and going by Leadsviilo. Soon after, they loft
tbe main turnpike road, baariug further to the
right and struck Shaver’s fork the.Cheat
River, and journeyed down its valley, still in
a Northerly direction, going towards 8t. George,
a town in what is now Tucker county, former
ly Randolph oounty, near th« junction of the
two forks of Cheat River.
The * Herald ” correspondent states that tbe
•vseuation of Laurel Hill was not known by
the Federal* till next moruiug, aud that a pur
suit was immediately undertaken by General
Morris’ Division, which reached a few miles
beyond Ledsville the night of the 12th, which
was renewed tho next morning at 3 oV.look.—
After fording the Cheat Rfver three or four
times, they came up with our forces while they
were crossing a ford—their wagons being still
in tbe ford. Tbe correspondent says;
" The Fourteenth Ohio Regiment advanced
rapidly to the ford when suddenly the rebel
army opened a furious fire on them with small
arms and two rifled caution, from the bluff on
tbe opposite side of iho river, where they had
been concealed. Tbe firing w»m loo high, and
the Fourteenth returned it with spirit. Mean

8t. George.
’J he Seventh Indiana regiment pursued them
a mile or two; but our forces were so muob
exhausted with the forced inarch of twenty
miles, with but little rest from yesterday’s
march, that General Morris refused to let
them pursue further. The results of the whole
affair are the capture of the rebel camp at
Laurel Hill, a large amount of tents, camp
equipage, forty baggage wagons, a field camp
chest, supposed to contain all their money, two
regimental banners, one of them that of the
Georgia regiment ; fonr Georgia Captains and
Lieutenauts aud a largo number of Virginia
officers, besides the killing of General Gar
nett and twenty^sixof hia men, and wound
ing a much larger number. Onr loss, wholly
in the Fourteenth Ohio regiment, is two kill
ed And two mortally wounded. Our forces are
now engaged io burying the dead.
General Garnett’s body ia lying at head
quarters. His body will be sent to bis family
at Richmond. Along the line of retreat the
woods are filled with deserted rebels, and our
men are ordered to stop arresting them, be
cause we can’t take charge of them.
Such is the history of our disasters, as we
gather them from nureuemies. Of courso, they
have lied greatly, and most of readers will be
able to point out the places where lies are ap
parent—especially when speaking of the num
bers ongaged on each side, and the numbers of
killed and wounded. Everybody will kuow,
without our saying it, that the last writer lies,
and intends for. people generally to set him
down as such, when ho says that “ the woods
were filled with deserters ” from our army.—
Else, why did he say they had been arresting
them? Where was the necessity of arresting
a destrier l They may have taken a few who
were unable to keep up with their retreating
command, aud had to stop.
It is also evident, from their own narration,
that our troops behaved with the most un
daunted courage, and that nothing but over
whelming numbers caused them to retreat.
It appears that our force*, from St. George,
journeyed east, across tho Alleghanies, into
Hardy county, thence, South, through Pen die
ton, to Monterey, in Highland county, whero
most of them appear to have concentrated.

Distressing Tragedy,
From one of our editors, who has been a
few days at Lexington, Va., we learn that a
most distressing and deplorable scene waa en
acted there on Wednesday uight last, about
11 o'clock, in front of Johnson’s Hotel, on the
arrival of tk* stag* from Staunton. The pre
vailing anxiety to bear the news from the col
lision which had taken place between Gener
al Garnett’s eommand and the enemy, had
dr<vwn together a large crowd who were await
ing the stage, and who now gathered the pas
sengers to make their enquiries. One of the
passengers was a very young soldier from
Baltimore. He was armed with a Minnie rU
