On to Washington.
Suppose our army, in obedience to the reck
less advice of a few editors who think they
know more than Davis, Beauregard, Johnston,
Ac., should advance on Washington, and meet
with disaster and defeat; suppose we lose that
army on the Potomac, and all their arms, or
even a portion of their guns; how could we
repair such a calamity ? And such would be
the result most likely, if wo make ruch an ad
vanco before we are fully prepared for it in
every respect. We might very easily replace
the men, but we could not get the arms to put
in their hands That would be utterly out of
the question; for we have them not, and can
not get or make them. The South would then
be overrun by hordes of Yankee abolitionists,
to which we could offer no resistance whatever.
Such a loss would be irreparable. We have
but few guns, and are not making them in
any quantity, and cannot procure them from
abroad Wo find it impossible to make guns
in sufficient quantities to arm the few regi
ments that are now being raised.
No; we have too much at stake to risk any
thing. When we strike a blow, it must be a
sure one. Wo must be sure we are able to
succeed befoie we go ahead. We can’t afford
to lose an engagement in that quarter. Too
much depends upon the issue. Better stand
<>u the banks of the Potomac and guard it for
twenty years, or forever, than jeopardize eve
rything worth living for in an engagement
where the result will bo doubtful; for, as be
fore stated, wo cannot afford a defeat or any
disaster in that quarter of our operations.
So long as we prevent them coming any fur
ther on our soil, w<> are preventing our subju
gation - the thing they have set out to accom
plish ; and even that will be a triumph—a
complete victory over them in all their pur
poses—all they ever expected togain by wa
ging this war. If they are kept back, they
will not only accomplish nothing, but lose all.
Whatever they lose is our gain.
Wo do not, by any means, advocate the pol
icy of standing there forever and guarding
them off. provided we can end the struggle soon
er by striking a srnr. blow; but wo do prefer
such a course to making a hazardous advance.
Wo believe the men into whose hands we
have confided our national trusts, and who
are in command of our army, know a great
deal bettor than the editors of the Richmond
“ Examiner” and Charleston “ Mercury,” or
any or all the editors on earth combined, whe
ther we are able safely to make the advance,
or whether we ought to do it at ail or not. Our
people have placed this matter in their hands
and wo arc in favor of allowing them to take
charge of it mid manage it as they think best;
for we shall confide in them until we have
some bettor evidence of their incompetency
than the carping of fault finding, restless,
hot-headed editors, who must necessarily be
ignorant about the matter they are trying to
control.
Such men have always existed, and have
always been marplots and common disturbers
of the peace and well being of all govern
ments and all enterprises. They are one of
the evils of life which we must endure as best
we may. No government or people ever took
their advice without suffering thereby. We
beseech all our readers to spurn their counsels,
if they desire to bo led successfully through
this struggle
Such men existed in considerable numbers
during the American Revolution ; and if
Washington had heeded them, we would now
have been British subjects He never would
have led us through that ordeal successfully.
And when they failed to operate on him as
they wished, they turned against him and
in ro than once brought trouble into the col
onial councils on account of it. This same
class of men throughout the whole of that
trying struggle were earping al hissWAand
incapacity Time has proved that he was
right; that he had sense: that he was wise
and sagacious: and that his fault-finders were
fools. No man now lives—even the hot heads
of the present day—-who does not acknowledge
that Washington was one of the wisert men
that God ever created—though they are now
revDSCling the part of those who then accused
uud uttered detraction egainst him. the same
as they now do against Davis and Stephens,
and the commandant of our army.
Again wo say, let it be stopped.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Ancient Words of Wisdom.
A correspondent communicates the follow
ing to the New Orleans Crescent. We com
mend it to the editors of the Richmond Ex
aminer and Charleston Mercury, and all
newspaper correspondents who have been
calling for an advance on Washington :
Some 2,000 years since, Paulus -Emilias, a
distinguished Roman, was called from bis re
tirement at the age of sixty years, to take
i command of the army destined for the inva
I sion and conquest of Macedonia, then gov-
I erned by Perseus, son and successor of the
I celebrated Philip of Macedon. He was plac
ed in charge of this celebrated undertaking
on account, as Rollin narrates, “of his past
services, the army’s opinion of his capacity,
and the States pressing occasion for his valor
I and conduct.” The success of the enterprise
justified the confidence reposed in him. Af
ter his arrangements for the campaign were
concluded, he made an address to the Roman
people, an extract from which is as follows,
and very pertinent, I think, to our own times
and condition :
that you will not give credit to, nor lay any
weight out of creduility upon, the light re
ports which are frequently spread abroad
without any author. I perceive well, that in
this war, more than any other, whatever res
olution people may form to obviate these ru
mors, they will not fail to make an irnpres
sion, and inspire I know not what discourage
ment. There are those who, in company and
at table, command armies, make dispositions
and prescribe all the operations of the cam
paign. They know better than we where we
should camp, and what posts it is necessary
to seize : at what time and at what defile we
ought to enter Macedon ; where it is proper
to have magazines ; from whence, either by
sea or land, we are to bring provisions ; when
we are to fight the enemy, and when lie still.
They not only prescribe what is best to do,
but for deviating ever so little from their
plans, they it a crime in their General,
and cite him before their tribunal. But know,
Romans, this is of very bad effect with your
Generals. All have not the resolution and
constancy of Fabius, to despise impertinent
reports. He chose rather to suffer the peo
ple, upon such unhappy rumors, to invade
his authority, than to ruin affairs in order
to preserve their opinion and an empty name.
I am far from believing that Generals stand
in no need of advice i I think, on the con
trary, that whoever would conduct every
thing alone, upon his own opinion, and with
out counsel, shows more presumption than
prudence. Bnt some may ask, how then
snail we ask reasonably? In not suffering
any person to obtrude their advice upon your
Generals, but such as are, in the first place,
versed in the art of war, and have learned,
from experience, wbat it is to command; and,
in the second, none but those who are on the
spot, who know the enemy, are witnesses in
person to all that passes, and share with us
in all dangers If there bg any one who con
ceives himself capable of assisting me with
his counsel in the war you have charged me
with, let him not refuse ft do the Republic
that service, but letvbYin go with me into Mac
edonia; but if he wiM not take so much trou
ble, and prefers the tranquility of the city, to
the dangers and labors of the field, let him
not take upon him to hold the helm, and re
main idle in the port. The city, of itself,
supplies sufficient matter of discourse,” &e.,
&c.
Special Correspondence of the “Southern
Confederacy.’’
Camp Jones, Sept. 29, 18C1.
Dear Confederacy: I have returned to the
camp, hut for a night, to get a full supply of
bandages, splints, Ac. We have been driven
back from Falls Church (two miles.) The ene
my occupies it, and we are now expecting an
attack—sleeping on our arms, without fires,
and awaiting their pleasure.
A genuine heroine of the Nancy Hart school
came in this afternoon and warned us of our
danger. Stating that the federalists have had
the cars between Washington and Alexandria
in constant motion ever since daylight, and
that a large number of troops, with large
amounts of ordnance stores and supplies had
been transported thereon, and that they would
attack us soon. This has stirred us all up, and
our Generals are busy.
Mrny revolting acts of vandalism have been
perpetrated by these fiends since yesterday. I
will mention but one. A gentleman, friendly
to us, some weeks since took his negroes to
Richmond, and had returned but a day to look
after his household effects. Seeing the enemy
approaching be fled to the woods and there
witnessed the total destruction of his dwell
ing, the indiscriminate slaughter of his horses,
hogs, cows, sheep and everything else on the
premises. The light from the burning of his
houses could be distinctly seen in our camp,
two miles distant.
The Cameron programme of sequestration has
been inaugurated the end thereof no man
knowelh.
I shall return by the grey of to morrow morn
ing to look after others and be seen myself.—
Glowing times ahead of us. Look well to your
dispatches. MORE ANON.

President Davis Among the Troops.
A correspondent of the Lynchburg Repub
lican, writing from Fairfax, says:
President Davis reached the Junction on
Monday, and was received by a regiment
from his own State—Mississippi—and in re
sponse to their enthusiastic reception of him,
made them a short address, in the course of
which he told them “ that they had work be
fore them—work of the most important kind
—work in which he had come to bear with
them his part. He did not intend to say to
them ‘go and do this,’ but he intended,
when the hour came, to say to them, ‘come,
follow me.’ He intended to lead them him
self on to glorious victory or a patriot sol
dier's honorable grave.” Our informant
describes the effect of President Davis' speech
as perfectly electrical. The light of battle
shone in every eye, while the cry of “lead
us on” burst from every lip. Immediately
after the conclusion of his address, the Pres
ident took a special train, and was conveyed
to the advance of our lines near Fairfax,
where his presence was welcomed with the
same enthusiasm which had greeted him at
the Junction.
No Moss Fcblovghs.—The Richmond En
quirer of the 28th says •
Among the on dits current in military cir
cles yesterday, was one to the effect that, in
consequence of the general abuse of furloughs
no more would be issued from the War De
partment, even to the sick desiring leave of
absence. Stringent as this order may appear,
its adoption and general enforcement will
really be productive of benefit to the ser
vice.
The Battle of Lexington.
GEN. PRICE’S OFFICIAL REPORT.
Headquarters Missouri State Guard, I
Camp Wallace, I
Lexington, September 23, 1861. J
To the lion. Claiborne I'. Jackson, Governor of
the State of Missouri :
I have the honor to submit to your Excel
lency the following report of the action which
terminated on the 20th instant, with the sur
render of the United States forcesand pro
petty at this place,to the army under my com
mand :
After chastising the m arauding armies of
Lane and Montgomery, and driving them out
of the State, and after compelling them to
abandon Fort Scott, as detailed in my last re
port, I continued to march toward this
point with an army increasing hourly in
numbers and enthusiasm.
On the 10th instant, just as we were about
to encamp for the day, a mile or two west of
Rose Hill, I learned that a detachment of
Federal troops and home Guards were march
ing from Lexington to Warrensburg to rob the
bank in that place and plunder and arrest the
citizens of Johnson county, in accordance with
Gen. Fremont’s proclamation and instructions.
Although my men were greatly fatigued by
several day’s continuous and rapid inarching,
I determined to press forward so as to sur
prise the enemy if possible at Warrensburg.
Therefore, after resting a few hours, we re
sumed the march at sunset, and marching
without intermission until two o’clock in the
morning; when it became evident that the in
fantry, very few of whom had eaten a mouth
ful in twenty-two hours, could march no fur
ther. I then halted them, and went, forward
with the larger part of my mounted men till
we come, about day-break, within view of
Warrensburg, where I ascertained that the
enemy had hastily fled about midnight, burn
ing the bridges behind them. The rain bes
gan to fall about the same time.
This circumstance, coupled wiih fact that
my men had been fasting for more than
twenty-four hours constrained me to abandon
the idea of pursuing the enemy that day ;
my infantry and artillery having come up, we
encamped at Warrensburg, whose citizens vied
with each other in feeding my almost famish
ed soldiers. An unusually violent storm de
layed cur inarch the next morning till about
10 o’clock ; we then pushed forward rapidly,
still hoping to overtake the enemy. Finding
it impossible to do this with my infantry, 1
again ordered a detachment to move forward,
and placing myself at their head continued the
pursuit to within two and a half miles cf Lex
ington, when, having learned that the enemy
were already within town, and it being late,
aud my men fatigued by a forced march, and
utterly without provisions, I halted for the
night.
About day-break the next morning a sharp
skirmish took place between our pickets and
the enemy’s outposts. This threatened to
become general. Being unwilling, however,
to risk a doubtful engagement, when a short
delay would make success certain, 1 fell back
two or three miles and awaited the arrival of
my infantry and artillery ; these having come
up, we advanced upon the town, driving the
enemy’s pickets until we came within a short
distance of the city itself. Here the enemy
attempted to make a stand, but they were
speedily driven from every position, and for
ced to within their entrenchments
We then took posiiion within easy range of
the college, which building they bad strongly
fortified, aud opened upon them a brisk fire
from Bledsoe’s battery, which, in the absence
of Capt. Bledsoe, who had been wounded at
Big Dry Wood, was gallantly commanded by
Capt. Emmett McDonald, and by Parson’s
battery, under ibe skillful command of Capt
Guibor.
Finding after sunset that our auiunil'un, the
most of which had been left behind on the
march from Springfield, was nearly exhaust
ed, and that my men, thousands of whom had
not eaten a particle in in thirty six hours, re
quired rest and food, I withdrew to the Fair
Ground and encamped there. My amuniticn
wagons having been at last brought up and
large reinforcements having been received, I
again moved into town on Wednesday, the
18th instant, and began the final attack upon
the enemy’s work.
Brig. Gen. Rains' division occupied a strong
position on the east aud northeast of the for
tifications, from which an effective cannon
ading was kept up on the enemy by Bledsoe's
battery, under command, except on the last
day, by Capt, Emmet McDonald, and nnoth
er battery commanded by Capt. Churchill
Clark, of St. Louis. Both these gentleman
and the men an officers under their command,
are deservedly commended in accompanying
report of Brig. Gen. Rains.
Gen Parsons took a position southwest of
the work, whence his battery, under com
mand of Captain Guibor, poured a steady fire
into the enemy.
Skirmishers and sharpshooters were also
forwarded from both of these divisions to bar
rass and fatigue the enemy and to cut them
off from the water on the north, east and
south of the college, and did inestimable ser
vice in the accomplishment of these purposes.
Col. Congreve Jackson's division, and a
part of Gen. Steen’s were posted near Gen.
Rains and Gen. Parsons as a reserve, but no
occasion occured to call them into action
They were, however, at all times vigilant and
ready to rush upon the enemy.
Shortly after entering the city on ibe 18 h,
Col. Rives, who commanded the fourth divi
sion in the absence of Gen. Slack, lad his
regiment aud Col. Hughes’s along the river
bank, to a point immediately beneath, and
west of theforiifications, Gen. Mcßride's com
mand, and a portion of Gen. Harri®’ having
been ordered to reinforce him. Col. Rives,
in order to cut off the enemy's means of es
cape, proceeded down the hank of the river
to capture a steamboat which was lying just
under their guns. Just at this moment a
heavy fire was opened upon him from Colonel
Anderson’s large d» elling house, on the sum
mit of the bluffs, which the enemy were oc
cupying as a hospital, and upon which a white
flag was flying. Several companies of Gen.
Harris’ command and the gallant soldiers of
the fourth division, who have won upon so
many battle-fields the proud disticiion of al
ways being amongahe bravest of the brave,
immediately rushed upon and took the place.
The important position thus secured was
within 1*25 yards of the enemy's intrench
merits. A company from Col. Hughes’ regi
ment then took possession of the boats, one
of which was richly freighted with valuable
stores. Gen. Mcßride's and Gen Harris’ di
visions meanwhile gallanty stormed and oc
cupied the bluffs immediately north of An
derson's house. The possession of these heights
enabled our men to harrass the enemy so
greatly, that, resolving to regain them, they
made upon the house a successful assull, and
one which would have been honorable to them
had it not been accompanied by an act of sav
age barbarity, the cold-blooded and cowardly
murder of three defenseless men who had laid
down their arms and surrendered themselves
as prisoners. The position thus retaken by
the enemy was soon regained by the brave
men who had been driven from it, and was
thenceforward held by them to the very end
of the contest.
The hights to the left of Anderson’s house,
which had been taken, as before stated, by
Gens. Mcßride and Harris, and by part of
Gen. Steen’s command under Col. Boyd and
Major Winston, were rudely fortified by our
soldiers, who threw up breatworks as well as
they could with their slender means.—
On the morning of the 20th instant I caused a
number of hemp bales to be transported to
the river heights, where moveable breastworks
were speedily constructed out of them by
Gens. Harris and Mcßride, Col. Rives and
Maj Winston and their respective commands
Capt Kelly’s battery (attached to Gen. Steen’s
division) was ordered at the same time to the
position occupied by Gen. Harris’ force, and
quickly opened a very effective fire, under the
direction of its gallant Captain, upon the ene
my. These demonstrations, and particularly
the continued advance of the hempen bresat
works, which were as efficient as the cotton
bales at New Orleans, quickly attracted the
attention and excited the alarm of the ene
my, who made many daring attempts to drive
us back. They were, however, repulsed in
every instance, by the unflinching courage
aid fixed determination of our men.
In these desperate encounters, the veterans
of Mcßryde’s and Slack’s divisions fully sus
tained their proud reputation, while Colonel
Martin Green and his command, and Col.
Boyd and Maj. Winston aud their commands
pioved themselves worthy to fight by the side
of the men who had by their courage and
valor won imperishable honor in the bloody
battle of Springfield.
After two o’clock in the afternoon of the
20th, and after fifty two hours of continuous
firing, a white flag was displayed by the ene
my on that part of the works nearest to Col.
Green’s position, and shortly afterwards an
other was displayed opposite to Col. Rives.
I immediately ordered a cessation of all firing
on our part, and sent forward one of my staff
officers to ascertain the object of the flag,
and to open negotiations with the enemy, if
such should be their desire. It was finally,
after some delay, agreed by Col. Marshall
and the officers associated with him for that
purpose by Col. Mulligan, that the United
States forces should lay down their arms and
surrender themselves prisoners of war to this
army. These terms having been made known
to, were ratified by, me, and immediately car
ried into effect.
Our entire loss in this series of engage
ments amounts to 25 killed aud 72 wounded.
The enemy’s loss was much greater.
The visible fruits of this almost bloodless
victory are great —about 3,500 prisoners,
among whom are Cols. Mulligan, Marshall,
Peabody, White, Groves, Major Van Horn
and 118 other commissioned officers, five pie
ces of artillery and two mortars, over 3,000
stand of infantry arms, a large number of
sabres, about 750 horses, many sets of cav
alry equipments, wagons, teams, ammuni
tion, more than SIOO,OOO worth of commissa
ry stores, aud a large amount of other prop
erty. In addition to all this, I obtained the
restoration of the great seal of the State and
the public records, which had been stolen
from their proper custodian, and about S9OO,
000 in money, of which the bank nt this place
hid been robbed, and which I have caused
to be reiuruod to it. •
This victory has demonstrated the fitness
of our citizen soldiery for the tedious opera
tions of a seige, as well as for a dashing
charge. They lay for fifty-two hours in the
open air, without tents or covering, regard
less of the suo and rain, and in the very
presence of a watchful aud desperate foe,
manfully repelling every assault, and patient
ly awaiting my orders to storm the fortifica
tions. No general ever commanded a braver
or better army. It. is composed of the best
blood and the bravest men in Missouri.
Where nearly every one, officers and men,
Behaved so well as is known to your Excel
lency, (who was present with the army du
ring the whole period embraced in this report)
it is impossible to make special mention of
individuals, without making invidious dis
tinctions. But I may be permitted io express
my personal obligations ‘o my volunteer aids,
as well as to my staff, for their efficient ser
vices and prompt attention to all my orders.
I have the honor to be,
With the greatest respect,
Your Excellency’s ob’t serv’t.
