The Lincoln Account of the Fight at Har
per’s terry—Big Lies.
We have before us the Yankee account of
the fight at Harper’s Ferry, in which Col.
Turner Ashby figured conspicuously, and
won such a signal victory over the villains.
We published an account of this light in
our issue of Friday, taken from the Rich
mond “ Enquirer.” That account stated that
our forces were 600 men, and the enemy
about 1,500; that the fight lasted all day,
and the vandals were impetuously driven
from the field at the point of the bayonet.
They were routed from their intrcßcbments
across the Potomac, leaving Bolivar and liar
per’s Ferry in our possession. The known
loss of the enemy was 19 killed and two tak
en prisoners. Our loss was one man killed
and two wounded. Daring the action the
axle of one of our guns broke, and there
being no horses to draw it away, Col. Ash
by ordered it to be securely spiked and aban
doned. These are the facts.
Now, see what account the enemy gives of
the affair. Speaking of the gun, he says ;
“ The cannon captured is ft fine new seige
gun, well mounted, and in good order, with
the exception of a fracture above the axles.
During the night it was stationed near the
abutment of the bridge, an ! when it was
about to be retaken by the rebels, a tenpenny
nail was driven into it. which has already
been drawn out. - ’
They say the fight lasted from 8 A. M. to
2 P. Al, with varying success; that “the
rebels when hard pressed retreated to the
woods, and at other times driving the federal
troops back to Bolivar. At 2 o’clock, Col.
Geary advanced with three pieces of cannon
which soon silenced the guns of the enemy,
putting his entire force to flight.
“ A chaplain of the rebels, who was taken
prisoner, says that before he was captured,
87 killed and wounded bad been carried from
the field. There was nothing positively known
as to Col. Ashby being killed. It was not
generally credited. An officer, supposed to
be him, was shot during the final retreat of
the enemy. The Federal troops remained on
the field all Wednesday night and yesterday
morning, having brought across the river the
remainder of 10,009 bushels of wheat, cap
tured from the rebel military depot, which
they were about transporting to Leesburg
“The prisoners admit that their force was
2,000, while the Federal force was 160.”

Yesterday we had an interview with Capt.
A. H. Shuford, of Canton—well known in
North Georgia. He is Commissary in Wise’s
Legion, and just from Richmond. He wants
to get two companies from Georgia to com
plete a regiment in the Legion under com
mand of Col. Greenft This regiment is com
posed of companies from Tennessee, Virgin
ia and North Carolina; and two complies
from this State are wanted to complete it.
Col. Greene has provided arms and equip

Another Murder.
Chcnnenuggeb, Ala , Oct. 2-1, 1861.
I'ds. Confederacy :
Dr. R. L. G. Bozeman who lived near this
place, was cruelly murdered on Tuesday last,
by two of his own negroes. The two negroes
had run away about a week previous, and on
their return, the Dr. took them—bis overseer
being absent —to the black smith ebon to cor
rect them. While addressing one with hia
back to the other, he was struck on the back
of the head, either with a sledge hammer or
other piece of iron, fracturing the occipital
bone. The boy who killed him has escaped.
The one at home charges the killing upon the
fugitive. We learn these negroes were given
to Dr. Bozeman by Lis aunt, living near Mill
edgeville Georgia.

col. Thomas’ address,
I have nothing new that it would be proper
to report in regard to the position of the Army
of the Potomac. Your readers must be satis
tied with she genera! statement that we are
encamped in line of battle, and ready and
eager to meet the foe. If he will but cotne
out, with the smiles of Providence on our
side we shall whip him. Many a brave fellow
may go down before the rushing tide of the
battle, but yield we never shall, let the in
vader’s forces be ever so large.
In visiting the various Georgia regiments
near me, yesterday and day before, 1 found
large numbers of the brave fellows busily en
gaged in writing letters. The impression is
very general, that there will be a great battle
soon, and they were writing what they be
lieved might be their last letters to the dear
friends at home. They look this danger be
fore them square in the face; and yet their
last prayer at night and their first wish in the
morning, is that they may he led forth to bat
tle.
Looking from iuy lem, there is a sea of
canvass spread out before the eye —a wilder
ness of tents—conspicuous among which may
be seen those of the Georgia Regulars, and
the second, seventh, eighth, ninth, eleventh,
and fifteenth regiments of Georgia Volunteers.
Col. Benning’s regiment, the seventeenth, will
join Gen. Toombs’ brigade to-morrow or next
day. Col. Boyd's, Col. Mercer’s, and Cui. W.
Duncan Smith’s are not far off. The same is
true cf Cutts’ Flying Artillery, and Blodget’s
and Hamilton’s batteries. We stend, as it
were, side by side, our arms interlocked and
ready, if needs be, to go down, but never
back. The torn and tattered flags of the
seventh and eighth, still float to tbe breeze,
and “ we tread no step backwards,” is i.bc
sentiment that animates every heart.
No troops throughout the whole army stand
higher than the Georgians. In dauntless
courage, resolute purpose, daring impetuosi
ty, and good order, ihey have no superiors,
and but few equals. Such is the judgment of
the army.
It is believed that our Generali are fully
informed of the plans of McClellan. His os
tentatioue transfer, in the day time, of large
bodies of troops to this side of the Potomac,
has deceived do body. His strategy was good
enough—only it was understood. Vainly did
he imagine, when he so confidently pushed bis
man forward in front, that, we did not have an
eye upon another man he was getting ready
to move in a different direction.
Ought not a monument to be erected to a
man. who would, in 12 hours, ride one hun
dred miles and surmount the greatest obsta
cles, to communicate important intelligence?
The campaign upon the Potomac abounds in
feats of the rarest romance and daring, from
which the poet and novelist will weave many
a thrilling story for the entertainment, of fu
ture generations. I had thought before this
war, that with the last survivors of the old
Revolutionary struggle, the manhood and wo
manhood of the land had died out; but how
much mistaken were all of us who entertained
such an opinion. No age or country ever
produced a race of women more loyal and
self sacrificing, or men more heroic and daunt -
less.
The Federals ate in much trouble about our
movement. Professor Lowe was up the great
er part of the day, yesterday, in his balloon.
It could be distinctly seen from our eamp, a
distance of twenty miles from Alexandria.
The Eleventh Georgia regitneni, Col. An
derson, was on picket duty in advance at. the
time we changed our position, and the order
to fall back did not reach them. Two Yankee
regiments advanced and pitched their tonis,
one on either side of them. Our men could
hear them talking and doing the order labor
about a camp,'but supposed they were Con
federate regiments,sent down on a similar du
ty to their own. The Federals must have
made the same mistake. It was not until the
expiration of their term of duty and after
they started back, that the Eleventh discover
ed the danger (bey Lad been in.
October 19th, 9 A. M.
It is eight miles to the post office at Manas
sas, and frequently it is not without difficulty
that we can get our letters there to be post
ed. Failing to send forward the foregoing
yesterday, I have opened it to give yon the
latest news up to this hour.
McClellan has sent out scouting parties as
far as Fairfax, seven miles from Centreville,
and is advancing his picket forces very'cau-.
tiously, lest they should encounter a masked
battery. He has also sent scouts as far up
the railroad as Fairfax Station, at which place
the Confederates had destroyed ail the depot
buildings before wc left.
It is reported that Gen. Banks has crossed
the Potomac at Cornad’s ferry (below Harpers
Ferry and the mountains,) with 20,000 men,
and that he will move down upon our left from
that point. Gen. Evans is near Leesburg
watching Lis movements, though with a grea f
ly inferior force. From Centreville to Cno
rad’s ferry, it is twenty-flve'or thirty miles,
and to Leesburg about twenty.
A strong naval force has been fitted out, at
Annapolis, the object of which is to destroy
our batteries at Acquia Creek end above, and
to co operate with the attacking columns high
er up. In other words, the opinion prevails
that the Federals will advance upon us from
these points simultaneously, viz : from Con
rad’s ferry above. Alexandria in the centre.
HERNCONF E D E R A C Y
where their heaviest forces are posted, and
Acquia Creek and Occoquan below. Many
officers still doubt however, whether be will
come as far us Centreville. The demonstrn
lions on <he lef: and in the centre may be
merely pel’, i- to cover the movement, against
the batteries on he liver below. A few 'lays
will probably remove all doubts.

Soldier.';: The appearances rtn rounding us
indicate we will have a light in a few days;
perhaps in one day. • We have been mistaken
so often, however, that 1 will not venture to
prophesy with perfect certainty.
1, like yourselves, have never been in bat
tle. It will be a novel sensation tu me as to
you. But by inquiry among those who have
seen and felt it, I have learned something
that perhaps would be useful ami inletosiing
to you. The great object our enemies seem
to have in view, is to invent some means, or
to find some plan, Ly which they can kill us
without being hurt themsel f we adopt :
some method to circumvent this single fea
ture of their tactics, they are helpless, and
we have them at our mercy. The sole thing,
therefore, necessary is to go up close. We
are told some of the rifles in your hands will
kill a man half a mile. Don’t you believe it;
it’s all stuff. No guu will kill a man that far,
and if they could, no one could hit a man
three hundred yards with any certainty. You
go up within a hundred yards or less, and
then your marksmanship will tell. Get close
to them ; stand firm ; aim well, ami not a
single regiment they have will stand befoie
you five minutes.
Btit s heir artillery • heir terrible big guns.
We hear they have t wo hundred of the finest
pieces of artillery in Jie world. Well, I
hope it is trite: we want the guns; we are
entitled to them ; we know how to use them,
and they don’t, ami Providence never, intend
ed that fine cannon, nor anything else, should
be held by those who understand not their
use After diligent itypiiry, I can hear of
but one single man on our side killed by their
cannon at the battle of Manassas Plains.
Providence fought with us at Manassa.,?. He
will fight with us again, if we are brave. He
loves valor, and He loves a valiant soldier.
He will help us, bat Lu will not drop cannon
down to tie out as the skies lie expects to
help us by putting it into the hearts of onr
enemies io bring «Ise cannon in our reach,
and then He expects us to take them
Another marked feature of rhe light, if we
get into one, you will find fr> »,- i e whistling
of the shells. Our enemies- bate succeeded
admirably in constructing a harmless instru
ment which makes a curious ami unpleasant
noise, and it has this wonderful peculiarity:
it seems to be coming straight at every man
who heirs it. Now, we know it can’t be
coming at. but one man, or at most two ; and
the truth is, it is coming at nobody. You
have nothing to do but to pay close attention
to your hind sight, and the whistling of the
shells will after a little become rather a small
matter in the grand drama you are acting.
The man who hears thunder is never struck
by the lightning. The great implement of
death in war you hold in your hands- the
musket or the bayonet—and your enemies
have none bettet or more terrible.
Another feature in the light will be the fall
ing of the killed and wounded. It is a try
ing thing t« a man i.o see his friends fall by
his side, and onr first impulse is io carry.him
to the rear. But remember, the best, way to
save your wounded friend is not for five or
six to leave the ranks, and thus weaken and
break your line. This will insure his de
struction and your own by the trampling and
bayonets of your enemies. Your wounded
friends ought to be in the rear, and you ought
to be between them and the foe. Now, the
plainest and most effectual way to do this is
to close tip your ranks and advance on the
enemy.
Soldiers, you tight for your liberty, your
country, wottr wives and your children. You
cannot afford to ba defeated. Your fate
would be hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter to an enemy' you abhor, lour enemies
are bought with a price---fifty dollars per
bead bounty, and large pay induce them to
enter the ranks to destroy your rights. Can
you yield to such a foe? With one powerful
blow let us crush them and return home 1«- our
families and firesides.

THE LEF.SBUG FIGHT.
Army of the Potomau, /
Centreville, Oct. 22, 1861. )
The weather has been disagreeable and
unfavorable for field operations for some
days, and this morning we have a sharp
‘‘Nor-west er,” accompanied by a driving
mist that is anything but pleasant. It re
minds one of the weather we sometimes
have in Georgia just before Christmas. Th®
men are cutting and hauling wood over the
muddy roads, or standing round the camp
fires with their blankets thrown over their
shoulders, and drying first one side and then
the other. The horses are gathered about
the wagons, and drawn up and shivering in
the cold wind and rain. Now and then a
courier may be seen dashing down the turn
pike clad in an oilcloth suit, and his head in'
clincd in the direction from which the wind
blows and the mist comes Just at this point
a detachment of seventy .men from this brig
ade passes my tent, each man with a mat
took, or spade, or axe upon his shoulder,
and going forward to a point where we are
throwing up some earthworks. Each brig
ade furnishes a similar detachment every
day. Meanwhile lhe sentinels may be seen
upon lhe distant hill-top and along the val
leys, pacing their solitary rounds and keep
ing constantly in motion to make themselves
warm. It is a cold day, and yet not so cold
hut that one’s heart warms towards the
brave fellows who, day r and night, in storm
and sunshine, stand sentinels between us and
a merciless foe.
It is just such weather as makesone de
sire to be seated in a soft chair, beside a
cheerful lire in a cosy little room, with a
good book to read. But such pictures of the
imagination only render the reality the more
cheerless; at least they do not contribute
anything to that frame of mind which is ne
cessary’ to the preparation of an interesting
letter. 1 can keep neither my hands nor my
feet warm; for my tent is wet and the
ground is damp and cold.
The entire country from Manassas to the
Potomac has been stripped of forage, and
there is not even straw to be had, except in
the most limited quantities, to scatter in the
tents. Even the gentle and industrious
Ruth, if she were here, would not be able to
‘‘glean and gather after the reapers among
the sheaves;’’ for the two armies that have
alternately occupied the country, did not
“let fall some of the handfuls of purpose,”
but consulted every ear of corn and every
blade of grass within their reach. The fen
cing has been drstroyed and the rails used
for firewood; barns and hay-ricks have been
emptied ; cattle pens and sheep folds have
been exhausted; wagons and teams have
been impressed, orchards stripped, farms
cut up by newly and the whole
country ravaged as if a fire had swept over
it. Many of the inhabitants have been com
pelled by necessity to abandon their homes
and retire back into the country, where their
families would be out of immediate danger
and convenient to supplies for their support.
It is but just to add, that the Confederates
have paid for everything their necessities
have forced them to take.
What is true of Fairfax county, will be
found to be equally true of North-western
Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri and all other
neutral States and districts. Neutrality is
the worst policy that any people can adopt.
G loriovs ATc tory. —lo o’clock, A. M.—AVe
have j net received news of a must brilliant af
fair yesterday at Leesburg, 20 miles above us.
Gen. Evans, who is stationed near that place
with a brigade, was attacked early in the morn
ing by a column of 10,000 men, under Gen.
Stone. The Confederate force numbered 2,500,
and yet they achieved a most splendid victory.
The fight was continued at intervals throughout
the day, and was so hot that nobody could be
spared to tiring the glorious news. Gen. Stone
intended io take the Confederates by surprise ;
and In order to make his chances doubly sure,
he brought with him a force of four to one,
with a full and complete complement of artille
rJ-
The exact results of the engagement have not
been ascertained, but lhe most reliable accounts
to hand state that we took 50 privates and 19
officers prisoners—that we drove the entire force
back pell mell into the river, and that in at
tempting to cross, 300 of them were drowned.
Among the killed, was Gen. Baker, Senator
from Oregon, whose body was pierced by 5 dif
ferent balis. The number of killed and wound
ed is not yet known. The prisoners were start
ed back last night, to get them out of the way,
lest the enemy should renew the attack. Rein
forcements have already been sent up to meet
such a contingency.
AVe could hear the firing from our camp, but
it was generally supposed that the enemy was
engaged in artillery practice. I had nearly for
gotten to say, that Gen. Evans took 3 pieces of
artillery, and it is supposed a number of small
arms.
2 o’clock, p. m.
Further particulars of the battle of Leesburg
have just come to hand. The battle was fought
about one mile from Leesburg, and between
that place and the Potomac, which is about 2
miles from the town. The enemy had crossed
at Edwards’ Ferry, in boats, flats and skiffs.—
His force, as already stated, was about 10,000
rnen, and ours about 2,500. AA’e took 520 pris
oners, including 19 officers, among whom were
Col. Lee, of the old United States Army. AVe
took 3 pieces of artillery, about 600 small anus,
several wagon loads of provisions, and a consid
erable amount of ammunition and clothing.—
The enemy’s loss in killed and wounded is esti
mated at between 4 and 500 ; ours at 300. In
addition to this, the enemy lost some 300 who
were drowned in crossing the river. They
rushed, into the boats and other craft upon
which they had crossed to this side, and many
of them being crowded and overloaded, sunk or
upset. When the courier left last night, the
Confederates were driving the Federals back at
every point, and inflicting the most terrible
punishment.
The forces engaged on our side were the
Eighth A'irginia. regiment, Col. Hutton, and the
Thirteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Missis*
sippi regiments. The Eighth A’irginia and
Eighteenth Mississippi were principally engag
ed. The other regiments, we understand, took
the enemy upon the two flanks, and succeeded,-
in a measure, in destroying their communica
tions with the river. Hence the. large number
of prisoners captured.
The entire loss of the enemy may be set down
at 1200—of whom 400 were killed aud wounded,
390 drowned, and 520 taken prisoners.
A requisition has just been made upon Gen.
Toombs for cooked rations for t he prisoners for
to-night and to-morrow.
Gen. Evans is known in the army by the
name of “Shanks.” All honor then to Shanks
for the brilliant victory of Leesburg.
In haste, A.
The Sequestration Act.;
Judge Magrath, of Charleston, has decided
this act to be constitutional. This settles the
matter. Henceforth every case will turn up
on the facte of the property belonging to an
alien enemy or not The facts only will be
involved.
From the Richmond Dinpatch, Oct. 23.
An Official who Looks Aller the Soldiers.
It refreshes one occasionally to find an offi
cial who seems to show an interest in the poor
sick and wounded soldiers of ihe army. Fitch

Stephens. Lei him be honcted for it! Frag

It may be, that some may think it patriot

who has more completely the confidence of the
