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. STERLING PRICE, Major General Commanding. ♦ ♦ Mortality in the sth Georgia Regiment. M. Dwinell, Esq., editor of the Rome Couri er, but now a member of the Floyd Infantry, writing from the Army of the Potomac on the 25th September, says : The mortality in this Regiment has been great, and all the deaths, with two or three exceptions, have occurred since the battle of July 21st.
