nation# in Weetero Virgloie. Il i« is » noun

sooautit require# double tho force that would

Government baa alao made the heldlag of that
portion of (be 8tate one uf ita prime objects ;
end for thi» purpose hea thrown an overwhel
ming foroe into il. Tbeae two important facta
seen* to have hean overlooked, or diaregerded
—to gome extent at leaat. It surely waa not
wisdom to send out a force of tome eight or tan
thousand, under Goaere) Garnett, into an un
friendly oouutry to meet such a fore# as the
enemy would naturally ooooenirate there-
seeing the stake they had made upon hold
ing it.
Gen. Garnett's army was out to pieces and
routed—entirely driven out of Nerth-Wsetern
Virginia, where the enemy now holds full
away. Gen. Wiee was sent to South-Western
Virginia, down the valley of the Kanawha, to
keep the invaders out of that section, with one
brigade; and uow ha it retreating before the
overwhelming foreea of Gan. Cox, who boasts
that he hae "cleaned out the rebels" from all
Western Virginia, without a battle.
These things should not have been. Our op
orations in that quarter should have bean more
successful, or they should not have been under-
tsken.
It is evident that our calculations have been
at fault concerning the forces necessary to be
scat to Western Virginia. Our army is again
concentrating at McDowell, to go into that
country to retrieve our lost fortunes. Generals
Lee, Loring, and Jackson, in addition to Wise,
are assigned to the command in that Depart-
meat. Let large forces be provided, and suffi
cient preparations be made this time. Let suc
cess he sure before a single advance movement
is made.

On the 10th July, the Abolition Congress had
under consideration a bill to pardon Abe Lin
coln forwilfal and deliberate perjury in vio
lating, with malice aforethought, the Consti
tution of the United States which he had sworn
to preserve inviolate. They called it a bill to
apf rove and con firm all bis acta during this
war.
During that discussions, Senator Baker, of
Oregon, an English Hessian, said :
“We may have to reduce ber (the South)
to the condition of the Territonee, and have to
pl-iee over them Governors from Mauachutettt
and lUinoit to control them. We bad belter
run the risk to erect a despotism than to lose
the Union.**
It may be that the people of Georgia will,
some day, submit to have Henry Wilson, of
Massachusetts, or Lyman Trumbull, of Illi
nois, or someone else from within the borders
of Abolitiondora, come down here and be Gov
ernor for them. If so, we con feu that we
slightly mistake the character of our people.

W. publish to day an .rticl. from the New-
York Timee, detailing a "table talk" of Gen.
Beott. on Tuesday, the 18 th July, before the
battle of Bull'e Run, on the 18th, where the
Federate were repnleed. We bare erery coe-
tideoo. that the Genenl'e remarks ere correct
ly reported, and they show that the plan of
conducting the war did not then meet hie ap
probation.
After the battle at Stone Bridge, he was
thrown into a rage by remora, cud sail re
proach, which lashad him into such an unooa-
troUblephrenty of mind, that h« gateway to
the meet humiliating confeeiioni and diigrace-
ful self accusation!. This "lean.” took pleca
iu a conversation between the President and
Gan. Scott, in tha presanea of Hoo. Wm. A.
Richardson, of Illinois, and waa related .by
Mr. Richardson, openly io the House of Repre
sentatives. There can bo no sort of doubt of
ita entire truth. We well end personally
know Col. Riehardaon, eud never found but
one fenlt In him ; that ia, a blind devotion to
the Union, eud the stars and etripea. He has
no sympathy with the Abolitiooiele, end never
had. lie is a man of truth, and we will vouch
for the accuracy of whatever he etetea ■> a
fact.
In the House of Representatives, on Wed
nesday, (14th July,) after the bailie ef Stone
Bridge, he said i

RICKARD YATS8,
versing with # gentleman, when be remarked
that be did not think that war would reunite
the Conlederscy. He had scarcely uttered the
a«DUDCd, when a Zouave approached him and
said:
" Yea It will, or ettry d—d »—n of a b-hofa
SecMionitl will be exterminated. You a*e one
of them, and you are my prisoner," at the
same time sailing Mr. Welby by tbo collar.—
There wars some 3,000 soldiers in and about
tha dapot, and Mr. Welby waa dragged into
tba cars, tha Zouave swearing that be would
Ukt him to Philadelphia, where he would get
hia deserts. Iu response to a question asked
by a soldier aa to what waa the matter, the
Zouave replied that be had "arrested a d—n
Secessionist." In an instant there waa a cry
raised of " hang him ” Crowds of soldiers,
with their muskets end revolvers drawn,
flocked around Mr. Welby, and swore that he
should he hung. At this time, a vice police
officer esme up. end Mr. Welby was banded
over to him by the Zouave, who ordered him
to be taken to the police station. The police
man started with Mr. Welby, accompanied by
the Zouave and two soldiers. After proceed
ing some tLree or four squares, some citizens
gathered around end demanded to know the
cause of the arrest, when the Zouave sent one
of the soldiers back to the depot to inform tha
crowd that bis prisoner was about to be rescu
ed. In a few minutes, some twelve or fifteen
soldiers cams rushing up the street with raus
kets and revolvers. The Zouave then direct
ed tha vice police to take Mr. Welby back to
the depot. This was accordingly dona, tha
vice policeman offering no resistance. Mr.
Welby waa again subjected to the violence and
threat# of the cr.*wd of soldiers. Borne of the
officers here interfered, and directed him to be
taken to the police station, which waa done,
and he waa locked up for two hours At six
o’clock, Justice Griffin examined the oase. and
there being no evidence against Mr. Welby,
he was discharged.
Items from the Battle of Ktoue Bridge.
The correspondent of the Charleston Charter,
writing from Manassas on the 25th July, re
lates the following incidents:
Among thoae killed, who did not participate
in tba fight, was a poor old lady, 86 years of
age, who resided in a little farm house directly
in tha eentre of the field, and between the
converging forces of a demon or twenty hatte
riea that were playing upon each other. Una
ware that the battle would be fougbt in that
vicinity, end too feeble to be removed, she re
meined in the house attended by her son and
daughter throughout the battle. First they
would move ber to the upper story; a ball
would fiy through, and they would descend in
a fright, when they would ascend again, and
thus from on# room to another, creeping along
upon the floor, and crouching in the corners,
they would endeavor to escape the balls, which
thiokly flaw around them. The old lady’s
strength was finally completely exhausted and
she was laid upon a low bed where she was
struck first in the leg, second in the shoulder,
and third in the body—the last shot merciful
ly terminating her sufferings. Strange to say,
neither tbe son nor daughter were touched,
though tbe bouse was riddled by no lets than
thirty eannon balls and hundreds of bullets.
Relating some incidents of the wounded, he
says:
Another was shot in tbe back while laying
down, the ball passing under the shoulder
blade, coming out in front and between his
shirt and body, where it was afterwards found.
The lest individual, waa a Mississippi rifle
man, and aa it shows the coolness of the men
from hia section of the country, I give hia ac
count la hia own words. Ha said :
“Stranger, I wee fighting mighty mean, ly
ing down and popping away as faetaa I could,
when the first thing 1 know’d tbe little whist
ler tapped me right where you see the mark.—
Now, the feot is, I’ve stood fire afore, end bin
torta of scrimmages, end I thoui
’a time was come; hut I thougl
the d d Yankee Abolitionist that drawed a
a bead on me, and I waa bound to have one
shot at him if I died for it. Bo I ris up, got the
Yankee between me and old Mississippi, and
if yon ever seed a man come down on his knees
ia double quiek, it wee that same old Aholi-
tioner. I thought I’d done eouf, so I laid down
on the ground end quit, and tbe next thing I
know’d, they brought me here. Jeet say I won't
die, Doctor, and I’ll stand a treat’’
I assured him I waa no physician, hut that
there waa evidently too much gristle about him
for him to die from such a wound.
" Wall,stranger, said he, " I’m powerful glad
te hear you aey that; jeet give me a drink of
water, peel my shirt off end wrap it in my
blanket, and I’ll be as *
lags."
Speaking of lbs cruel inhumanity oil ha sav
age villains ia not coming to taka oars of thslr
wounded sad bury their dead, ha says :
Hod tho enemy, no io tho custom, ef civilised
warfare, teal detachments lo bury thslr dead,
the field would have boon stripped of thcee
decaying corpses la two or three days; bat
with oar own dead to bury, wounded to earn
for, sod tko movement of our forces. It kaa
beta Impossible to do all that humanity re-
S oiree. Many of the enemy's wounded must
»vs suffered indescribable agony before they
•spired. Their bodies wore frequently found
•oaeenlsd among the hashes, far away from
tho 41a of battle, whore they bod crept for
