Siu l have read with much pain the folloxving j

“ Tin* War J>epaitiij *nt has received the official !

Assured, however, Ihjit it cannot be contemplated j

uucnntradicU and to the world ; and, therefore, I j
clfiin a pl.uc* in your etiumns for the following j
.simple corrections as to tacts:
Ist. It is not true that “ the plan of operations j
wa- disconcerted by the failure of the column led J
by me to attack the enemy’s position on Cheat j
Mountain.”
2d. It is not, true that I “ had hi ado the recoil
nuisance ‘myself*’ but, on leaching the enemy’s I
position, found him defended by a stockade fort.” !
■d. It is not true that, in 3- “ column xva* with- j
druxvn,” thus “ entirely disconcerting the move- j
incuts of Gen. Lee.”
•till. But it. is altogether true that the column |
led by me discharged, to the last letter, the duty >
a signed it in the “ plan of operations •” that, it j
prove* dod successfully, though with difficulty and i
•vpoMiM*, to the position it was ordered to take,
i driving in the nickel?-and outposts of the enemy, i
! <»t xxhum it killed and wounded a considerable i
! number ; and tliat, for three*.days ami nights, it }
; e 'utinued to hold that posit ion, in the immediate I
I presence of tho enemy, and did not Iffave it until |
; wirhdraxvn b)* me, in obedience to at* order from
J (Jeu. Lee himsell.
In codelusion, I beg to suggest, in no spirit of
; unkinduess, th.at while officers are engageu in the
I anxious yibchui'ge of most arduous duty upon tho !
held, with scaled lips, editors should, in common |
justicOs be cautious of inflicting an undeserved j
stab upon the humblest reputation, knowing, as !
all men must, that in the rapid movement, of j
j events, when the attention of the public is from j
moment 10 moment diverted to some new thing of
- excitement, a name once dragged in the mire, I
I may be hopelessly sullied.

Un the 1 siL, Gen. Wise addressed his troops,
stating that hitherto lie had uex ei once retreated
but in obedience to superior orders; that the

not believe they acre as many, but it they were,
; he thought lie could, and was resolved to make a
stand in that \ asition ; that his men must expect
to be attacked from all sides and for successive
days, aud that nil who were not. willing to abide

Meadow Blutr.
On tbr*2x)th, or 91st, Geo. I.ee arrived in Gen.

sci u. Us cuyjer.v
The fohowing pa-niculsr i were furnished us by
one o-' party engaged ic the expedition :
On Tuesday, tbe 2th inst,, a detachment of fif
teen men, from the Perry Artillery, moder com
i niaod ot First Lieut. B. F. Sftn mo aS, was ordered
j 10 cruiae with the privateer F‘. S, Bartow, between
the eastern aud western entrances of our harbor.
Soon fitter leaving the city, however, a subaequent
order was transmitted to the officer in command
to cotrm uoicate xvith the keeper of the
> Ligfl- lionise, for the purpose of learning the
moveiJH-nts of the blockading steamers.
On approaching l)«jg Island, on Wednesday
morning, the C. S. war Steui/ier K. R. (’uyler wus
discovert and iyi J ig at her usual anchorage, -outside
the Bast Bass bar. It being tbe prevailing opin
ton among the officer* of the Bartow that the
Guvlcr could not ]>ass over the bar on account of
her draft of water, the ucbooucy ivas kept oa her
course, aud xva* fast nearing the Light House.
It was soon discovered, however, that the Cuvier
xvas nt-Mining- in rapidly, and u® a retreat towards
Apalachicola was deemed impracticable, on ac
count of the light win-;, the schooner’s course
was directed for Crooked River. A few minute* \
alter, the Cuvier ran up the f . 8. flag aud opened
lire on the schooner with her rilled cannon. The I
first - Jot passed between the masts of tUe Bar- (
t .w, and struck a .short distance beyond.
In the meantime the Bartow’s 24 pOunder was !
loaded, and toe sciioocL-r prepared for action, ai i
though the Cuyier was beyond the range of cur !
metal. The steamer nov: opened her broadside j
upon the schooner, and the shots tell thick and
! fast around her in every direction, but without
; doing any damage. Finding that resistance wa®
useless, the order was given for the yaw! to be
J hauled forward, for tbe purpose of aban
! doning the schooner, in the execution of which,
! by some inexplicable accident, the painter was
! not made fast and the boat drifted astern. Soon
: after the schooner grounded. The gun was then
ordered to be tired, and a retreat made to the i
! shore a distance of ball a mile. As soon a* our
j purpose was discovered by the enemy, his shot j
was directed to 119 I'd the water, several of which j
struck only a few yard* behind us. While in the |
water two of the steamer's boats were lowered, j
, but almost immediately hoisted, aud her coarse
turned towards tbe bar. Ull reaching.the shore,
tb. officer obtained a skill’, and xvith txvo men re
turned to the vessel. The skill was immediately
1 sent in pursuit of the lost boat, which was soon
I recovered and sent ashore to cobvey the men
hack to the schooner. On their return, finding
1 the tide rising, a portion of the ballast was thrown
] overboard, the schooner hove off and towed up
| Crooked River a distance of half a mile,
i Parties ou shore who had witnessed the cn
; gageinent st .*ed that twenty-seven shots were
; fired by the Cuyier, out of which six shells were
I seen to explode.
The next morning about S o’clock, the Cuyier
xvas discovered steaming westward, as was be
lieved, and which subsequently appeared, for the 1
purpose of bringing the steamer Montgomery, j
at West Pass, to assist her, she being of lighter i
draft.
News having reached the city of our situation,
a detachment of ten men each from the Apalach
ioola Guards and Perry Artillery arrived in boats
that evening about four o’clock.* An hour after
wards the Cuyier returned, followed by the
t-hamer Montgomery, which soon passed her,
aud run in and anchored within hall a mile of
the entrance of Crooked river, the former anchor
ing about one mile astern. A night attack by
boats being now considered probable, the Bartow,
ns soon as darkness approached, was towed some
distance up the river and scuttled.
A picket guard was then stationed to watch the
movements of the enemy, and the main body lay
in ambush on the river bank. Later in the night
the pickets came in reporting the landing of
s -veral boats, xvliicb, however, proved unfounded,
although early the next morning the steamers'
boats were seen sounding the mouth of the liver.
At daylight, us nothing further could be accora
plished, a detachment was left in charge of the
schooner, and the remainder of the party march
cd overland to Vent’s, a distance of fifteen miles,
from which point they readied the city in boats.
A sufficient force has since been sent to raise
the schooner, and we expect, in a few days, to
report, her arrival alongside the wharf, again
ready for whatever duty may he assigned her.
Tub Victory at Sphinufiblo, Mo.—The Rich
mond correspondent of the Savannah f (publican.
under date of the ‘2‘Jth, says :
This morning, an invoice of contraband papers
from New York having arrived here, we were
gratified at the intelligence of the defeat of the
Federal* by Gen. Price in Missouri, the capture of
three thousand, and the loss of their military
stores. The maimer iu which they attempted to
modify the circumstances by every conceivable
ground of self excuse and condemnation of others,
gave r se to a reasonable expectation that the af
fair was more aggravating than they were desir
ous of confessing—and this evening our hopes
were confirmed by dispatches which arrived offi
cially at the War Department. They were of a
very general and limited character, but we are
permitted to state that the telegram contains an
announcement of a success to our arms which
finds no parallel even in Manassas. Seven thou
sand prisoners were taken, three thousaud five
hundred horses gained to the cause, arid a quar
ter million specie, immense quantities of arms,
ammunition and valuables secured. Os this there
is not a shade of doubt, and its success has com
pletely revolutionized the torpid condition into
which we xvert gradually and steadily relaxing by
the calmness of the last few weeks. The moral
effect of the grand victory, the loss to the United
States Government of the State, and the influence
it xvill have upon the fiery spirits who raised the
‘‘On to Richmond” cry, can only he calculated by
tile terror they experienced at Manassas. I hope
to morrow to be able to send you further particu
lars.
On 15 ok Oi.p Auk’s Pri/.ks.—The Galveston
Civilian, of tho 17th, inst., says :
The captain and crew—all Mexicans--of the
schooner ttoledo, (formerly the Anna Taylor, of
this port, hut since wold to Mexican citizens at
Tampico) returned on hoard that vessel yester
day, where she was still iving under the guns of
the blockading steamer South Carolina, oil Qai
veston bar. We understand that the owner of the
cargo, who is a citizen of France, proceeds at
onct to Now Orleans, Washington and Fiance, if
necessary, to prosecute his claim for the return
or value of his goods. The owners, officers and
crew of the vessel are determined to stick to her
as long us there is any possibility of obtaining
tlie recognition of their right to the same. They
claim that they were captured on the high seas,
txx ut v miles from land, while in the prosecution
of a lawful voyage, and without having attempted
to run the blockade.
Thk Storm ok the 26th and 27th. —A corres
pondent of the Savannah Republican gives the
following :
Boston, Thomas County, (1a.,)
September 28, IS6I. f
September 20th, a light nimbus cloud with .slow
dropping rain began about A. M., and continued
all day up to 4 r. m. ; wind, a light breeze from
N. E., when the wind sprung up a fresh gale with
i a gust of rain and thunder. These fitful gusts of
, wind and rain, peculiar to these coast storms,
j continued, one after another, in rapid succession
i until midnight, when the wind shifted from N. E.
and reached S. E. by 2a. m. of the 27th; the
1 squalls increasing in violence, but the rain mode
; rating. From midnight until C J a. m. the force of
] the wind was aboutin the scale of 10—tumbling
•a few green trees. From 3to 4 m. the wind
1 reached 18. S. E., increasing to 7. From 4to r.
\. m. it reached S. 8. W., increasing to b, and
commenced putting on the full strength and vio
; lence, common to those coast storms. It was
during this last named interval, that the great
dreudtu! center passed my locality w ith fearful
I violet*ce ; prostrating the huge pines of the forest,
; snapping them above ground or tearing them up
by the roots. After m there were but a few
squalls of wind from the West and the violence of
j the storm was over.
The destruction to our farms iu this county is |
great, parucularfy the cotton. It took all hands f
a full day to repair fences, and will take another
i day to clear our neighboring roads of talleu tim
ber. Although this storm was severe, yet we I
j have suffered much less by it than some previous
' The depth of min that fell during the storm j
j was 2.25 inches.
A Ml R Ax'CLOUS Esc APR CRON STARVATION—A i
Man Three Days in a Ftcmp.— We have just ;
i learned of a miraculous escape from starvation oi !
a gentleman residing in Lauderdale county. Ten
: nes.see, near Hale’s Point. The facts art these.— i
] Last week he was out hunting in a large bo tom in
J bis neighborhood, and he observed a wild goose
| tiv out of a large cypress stump, which was some
i twenty feet high. His knowledge of the habits of
these geese lea him to believe that the goose had
* a nest iu the stump. On the outside of the stump
were a number of vines, which he pulled up by to
; peep in and get possession of the eggs. After he
: had succeeded in gaming the top of the stump, he
discovered a large number of eggs some six or
, «igtn feet down lrndde. The nest he supposed
was ou a firm foundation, and he accordingly let
; himself down inside , but when he struck the
substance on which the nest built, he discov
j t red that it had no foundation, and soon found
himself sinking to the bottom of the tree.
The inside of the tree was rotten and would not
' hear his weight. Now, be was in & dilemma, five
miles from any habitation, inside of a stump tweu
’ tv feet high, with Dotting to subsist on but the
goose i giis . he screamed and yelled uut.l he was
nearly exhausted, no one coming withm hearing
‘ distance. Ou the third day after hts “incarcera
tion” two gentlemen were oat hunting and came
w ithin bearing distance. They were very much
. frightened at healing a man groaning inside of
; the stump, and for some time they could not re
concile themselves to what it meant, but having
learned that the gentleman bad beeu missing
from heme several days, they soon were satisfied
j that it was no “ghost’’ insiae the tree. They
I procured axes, and soon the prisoner was libera
; ted. lie swears he will not attempt to rob a goos£
1 nest situated as that one again.—Jf- Ary*/>.

AUGUSTA, GA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 0. 186!.
Gen. Fremont to Take liie Field.
The New York Herald says, editorially :
According to our latest authentic advices, from
St. Louts, Gen. Fremont, with some 21JKK) men
men 4 ’, wa®-preparing to march from that citv to
j the defence of Jefferson City, the State capito!,
' and with the view of assailing tho reb*l, General
, Price, in the Tear. In this movement Fremont
wi’L be supported by the command of Maj. Stur
. gis, on the North Kide' of the Missouri, by Hun
ter’s command from Kolia, und by other detach
: meets which will probably increase the Union
! forces to forty men.
• On the rebel side, Price is reported to be in
, command of twenty-seven thousand, while Ben
McCulloch, with twenty thousand more was >n'
the road to join him. A collision betxveen these
opposing forces will, therefore, exceed in its’ pro
portions on each 'side, the bgtt-e ot Bull Run; and
i from the remarkable fighting qualities oi those
Western-cnen, we :: ay expect a sanguinary und
decisive result. The* issue will make er break
! Fremont; and, considering the fact that from his
; recent serious mistakes of various kinds, he is
; now under a cloud, let us hope that he txiii re
deem himself in this 'enterprise and re-establish .
himself thoroughly in the ec nlidence of tlie Ad
-1 ministration and tlie country.
1 Meantime, the St. Lodls correspondent of fin j
New York Tribune says that the “ people of the .
| Northwest lore P’reoKxnt. and believe in bun
I and what is more, that “they endorse his late j
j proclamation to the fullest extentail of which j
i we pronounce sheer nonsense. We grant that i
i irom bis. California military reputation “great j
I expectation* ” were entertained by the whole
{ country from Fremont’s appointment to the de j

i tertained ‘‘great expectations.*’- But they and j
| :'.*• - “iiiui/ )w:vhern disappoiirted, an; the pop- ,

• As for t*.e popular endorsement in the North 1

j conservative policy of the Ft esi dent ol* the slave

1 can be restored. Tlie .President, in arresting the
»
changed the late damaging neutrality of Ken
tuck}' to a cordial armed co Operation with the
Government, which is immensely the greatest
Union victory we have achieved since the war
began.
It carries at once the line of occupation of our
armies down to ftie boundary line of Tennessee,
and gives us the moral anil material support
against the rebel;: of a great State, which has
hitherto stood ay a bulwark for their protection
We conclude tliat t •* Administration will give

“ The Ladies’ Relief Association of Greene

jon the 29th July, 1361. From that time up to the
present day, foOth September,) the following do

i Iu cash, s4ll. Os this amount sloO was given
by a lady, and expended by her, at our request,
in [lie purchase ol flannel , and two gentlemen of
j Greene county contributed, each, SIOO. Tlie re
i mainder was contributed by other friends iu
smaller sums of from one to ton dollars each.
Iu cloths and ready-made clothing we have re

Also, for Hospital supplies, over one hundred
articles of-bedding aud c lothing, eight packages
of nourishment lor the sick, and one dozen bottles
wine, cordial, &c. ; which supplies have been sent
to the Georgia Hospital and Relief Association in
Virginia.
We have collected monthly subscriptions from
our members to the amount of OJ.
i Supplies have been forwarded to our soldiers in
Virginia, as follows :
To the Stephens Light Guard, Capt. (>. 0. Daw

prising 10 coats, 9 pair pants, 12 plaid over shirts,
! •”* flannel under shirts, 6 pair drawers, 5 pair
j socks, 22 blankets, ‘.l private packages.
Most of our donatious were received from
Grdensboro and its immediate vicinity, so that
this cannot be regarded as a report for the whole
county. Unfortunately we have failed to secure
from other associations laboring in its boundsthat
cordial co operation xve had hoped for, and for
want of which if. is to t>e feared some of ou
soldiers will eventually prove not so well provid
ed for as if unanimous action had prevailed.
Tc each donor to our cause, especially to such
of our friends iii the county as have aided us, we
return our sincere thanks. ’ Your names are care
fully registered upon our books, whose pages will
always pleasantly remind us of your patriotic, dis
inteiosted liberality.
But while thanking our friends for what they
have done, xve beg leave to entreat them “not to
be weary in well doing.” \V< have undertaken an
arduous work and no- •! con.'taut help to carry it
on. Eiich freshly sodded mound that marks a
soldier’s resting place in the soil of V irginia, is
an affecting appeal to the wives, mothers and
sisters of those who are still spared, to do what
ever their hearts can devise or hands accomplish
for their comfort, with all their might. We may
not relax 00 r exertions while the foot-print of an
invader lingers upon our borders.
Our friends are expos 'd to all the evils of a

The New Orleans Crescent thinks that the de
signs of the J.incolnites are against that city. It
say s:
It is quite likely this metropolis will be simul
taneously attacked ou two or three sides. One
squadron may make Berwick’s Bay the line of in
vasion;, another the Luke approaches; and a third
may seek to force its \vu} r up the river. The pre
parations of the enemy are understood to be on a
scale of magnitude to enable them .to attempt all
these things; and if so, the greater the glory in
overthrowing them.Jj
A rapid and victorious “on to Washington”
movement, and the expulsion of Lincoln and his
myrmidons from the places they pollute, which
would amount, to the diseutht ulmont of Maryland,
might disconcert this long resolved upon pro
gramme, and keep these boasted expeditions at
home to protect Northern coasts, which may not
be quite as invulnerable us the Abolitionists im
agine. But, if something of this kind is not done,
we may look for trouble, if not serious annoy
ance, in our own waters before the month of No
-1 vember expires. Lincoln must have a “cotton
| port” before many weeks, and it is quite clear to
j our mind that this port is the one he is afUr par-
I ticularly. Well, lie will have a “good old time”
getting it, and wheu he does get it we trust he
I will be obliging enough to let ns know. It would
j mortify our people amazingly it such an irupor
! tant event should happen, and they be kept in
j ignorance of it.
A Crack Regimbnt Some months since, Col j
| John Cunningham, of Charleston, South Carolina, j
! offered to raise for the service ot the Confederate !
i Government, a regiment; or, if need be, a brigade,
j The offer xvas promptly accepted, but. Col. (bin- i
i niugham was informed that the War Department ;
‘ was just then unable to furnish arms. With a pa- j
1 tviotism which cannot be too highly commended, i
< (fob Cunningham at once ordered arms Irom Eu j
j rope at his own risk and expense. These arms i
f have recently arrived. They are English Enfield |
i rifles of the latest and most approved pattern. j
j With this unsurpassed weapon, Col. C. proposes j
to arm a regiment ot picket men from various i
, States of the Confederacy, and to give the regi- ,
, ment the proud name of South Carolina’s greatest
j statesman. In the formation ol this regiment, (
j Col. Cunningham will be aided by Major W. L. ;
| Blanchard, of Kentucky, a gallant gentleman, who j
! has in bitn the ring of the truest Southern metal. .
: With such leaders and the weapons we haw !
J named, it will be no matter of surprise if the I
| “Calhoun Rifles" should establish for themselves !
i tbe reputation of being par excellence, the crack !
regiment of tbe entire Southern army. —Richmond ,

at the Southwest Fuss, they were ordered off by
the blockading squadron, and proceeded to north

Tiu v were told by Michael Hofftean, the efficient

arrived th'.a week, and, acting thereon, the goods

’ in one or two cases this has been done, but in

New York flail j News.
It has already been announced that thepublica
tion of this able and fearless journal has been
suspended. The following announcement of the
suspension and the causes which rendered it
necessary, appears in the issue of the 14th Sept:
to the public.
To-day the unpleasant but imperative duty de
volyes upon us of bidding our readers and sub
scriberfe a temporary, but, we trust a short fare
well. After this morning’s issue, the publication
of the Daily and Weekly Neus will be suspended
for a time. We make this announcement with a
feeling deeper than regret, fov it is a consequence
of events that should have been impossible of
occurrence in the Republic where we claim the
l ights and immunities of citizenship. We have
stood manfully at our post while the -slightest
hope remained of weathering the storm ; but &a
our area of action has been i,arrowed until even
the possibility of our rendering service to our
countrymen has vanished, wo lay down our pen
in the bitterness of despair, and await for its re
sumption, the propitious hour when persecution
shall no longer strike the instrument of labor out
of the hand of industry.
The causes that have led to ouj* suspension are
so palpable as scarcely to need a recapitulation.
We have been denied the enjoyment of mail facili
ties, which itself, is virtually a suspension by
Government decree. We have beeu shut up from
express transportation, and attempts have beeu
made to prohibit the sale of our issues iu public
vehicles. Our property, and the property of our
subscribers, lias been confiscated by Government
officials, acting without warrant or process bf
law. Our advertising patrons have been threat
ened through anonymous communications, and
some of those who have been in the habit of .con
tributing to our editorial columns, for no other
cause, have been arrested and consigned to the
dungeons of a fortress. Policemen, ip their olli
ciul capacity, have interfered with our circulation
by practicing intimidation upon news venders.
Our readers have been subjected to insult and in
dignity, and it had absolutely become dangerous
for a citizen to be seen perusing a copy of the
Daily News in public places. Rival cotemporaries
have paraded us in their columns as lit subjSetfs
for popular fury and administrative severity, and
have been a3 unceasing and unrelenting iu their
persecution as were the praitors of Caligula against
the early Christians. The fanatics in private life
and the lauatics in high places have leagued to
crush us, und xve find ourselves at this day so
completely shackled aud shorn of all essential
privileges of journalism, that further publication
becomes a mockery and a mere waste of time aud
substance.
We wish the public to understand that, while
xve xvithdraxv, for a time, from the arena of our
labors, we do not yield or retract, or in any way
admit as responsible, erroneous or treasonable,
one thought, sentiment or doctrine tliat xve have
hitherto advanced. The course of the paper, un
der its present proprietorship, xvas shaped alter
mature and deliberate consideration. Its policy
was based neither upon selfishness, nor avarice,
nor ambition, hut upon a solemn seuse of duty,
m ail hour of great national danger. It were
j useless l’or us to rehearse now those opinions
: which, without deviation, we have abundantly
S advanced from the beginning; but in the face of
all the imputations against our loyalty that have
been flung at us by thoughtless enthusiasts and
railing fanatics, in the face of the bitter hate of
rivals and the moye effectual hostility of official
power, we affirm that those opinions were born
ot honesty and nurtured by conviction—convic
tion that argument and events have not changed,
and that reflection has but strengthened. Our
paramount desire has been the country’s welfare,
and we have knowingly published to the world no
word or sentiment that hail not in view that sa
cred object. We may have erred in our estimate
of the means by which a nation’s prosperity cau
he secured, but xve can admit no arbitrary dicta
tion to our heart aud brain by any mortal be
ing.
In taking present leave of our friends and pa
i trons we will now make a pleasant use of the oc
i casion, iu extending to them the assurance of
! our lively gratitude for their past favors. When
I the laws by which, till now, we have been accus
j tomed to be guided, shall resume their sway,
when authority, shall have been stripped ot its
extraneous attributes, aud shorn of its usurpations
when the free thought of freemen shall be per
mitted to radiate throughout the land, and the
American citizenship shall have become once a
reality and not a shadow, then we will ask our
friends to welcome us back to the duties and re
sponsibilities of journalism. Meanwhile, let them
be reminded that the iV ews “sleepeth, but is not
j dead.” Benjamin Wood.
A citizen of Wilmington, N. C., recently return
ed from New York, gives some interesting infor
mation to the Journal of that city. He represents
business in New York as extremely dull, and says
the more thoughtful citizens anticipate serious
disturbances among the unemployed poor this

Our friend saw the licet that left New York
week lefore last, bound for the South—for Hamp
ton Roads in the first case. He speaks ot it as
quite formidable in appearance and number of

destined for Savannah, but of course that was
only talk. Still there may be some truth in it.—

Dear Baber—l promised to let you hear from
roe when convenient, and at this point, for the
first time, I write. I left Bowling Green to-day.
It is a lovely place. Lincoln is not entitled, by
’ descent or inheritance, and he shall not have, by
| conquest, that portion ot Kentucky up.on which
i the Southern troops are now quartered. He shall
not have any of that good old State, if she be still
i true to hersell. Her daughters are all right—no
S mistake. Dixie was sung to me last evening by
j one of the sweetest gills in her borders, and oh 1
; how charming. I love music any time, but in
Kentucky, hoodwinked and blinded as many of
i her men are, to listen to Dixie, coming from the
' very heart of a young girl, it made me feel that
J my life was nothing iu this great struggle. A
■ radical change in the sentiment of the .people 13
going on up there—all will be right in a few days.
txCols. .Martin’s, Hill’s, Allison’s, Brown’s and
i Palmer’s regiments are in and about the town.—
' The other regiments have been sent out to other
points.
: are pouring in rapidly. Kentucky will
help us with quite ail of her pure blood, who are
! “to the manor born." There was a rumor of a
tight on Mud Creek, but I could not trace it to
any reliable source. Gen. Buckner is a great fa
vorite. He will work all for the best. As most
of our Generals have been doing, be does—keeps
i hi? own secrets. Tbe health in camp is getting
i pretty fair. Capt. Zanders' company of our regi
ment or rather who is attached toours,. captured
sixtv verv fiue muskets, as 1 learne'd to day, near
i Albany, Ky„ last week. There were twenty-five
. rounds of cartridges and a large amount of pow
der taken with them The State has been slow
to furnish them arms, and I guess they concluded
' to hare them any how. They are the boys te do
! this thing when tbev take it into their heads. Our
: regiment needs tlie paymaster very bad, and
-bout two hundred more good arms, andthen woe
I be unto the foe tba; dare confront us. Mark this.

to let yon hear occasionally from

The Akmt of the Potomac- — The intelligence i
published vesterdav, relative to the movements of
the army of tfie Bowman, occasioned some ex
piesstons of dissatisfaction amongst individuals:
who know nothing of strategy, and who vebe
mentlv protest against taking any step backward. .
Such persons ought to understand that no move- I
meet is made by wise and experienced Generals,
except for good cause and for some definite pur- j
i pox-! Criticisms come with bad grace from those -
who stay at home and leave others to tight the j
• battles.
A report reached the city yesterday that the ;
Federais bad advanced as far as Falls Church, in .
i Fairfax county, and thrown out their pickets; but I
judging from their recent stampedes, we should I
be disposed to look upon this as at least question- i
able. We have it from undoubted authority that )
‘ oniv two or three days ago some seven regiments |
of ine enemy made’their appearance at Levins- :
rule witntwe wagon loadsofentrenching tools, bat
before tbev had an opportunity of commencing
their fortifications, two of onr regiments advanc
ed upon them and put them to flight: ff lid they
stop until tbev had put a safe distance between
themselves and their pursuers. They left all their
, implements behind, which were secured by our
troops. Nevertheless, it seems to be gjnereally
believed that a great battle will take place within
a few days.

Hon. James Guthrie, President Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company.
Sir ; It is my purpose to re-open the traffic
which has b ea recently suspended by direction
of the President of the United States, on such
portions of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
as may be under the control of the forces under
my command, and also to re-establish the running
. of the regular passenger trains. The counties
through which this railway passes are largely in
terested iu its stock, and are charged xvitu heavy
i burdens to pay the interest on the -hi which
j they have contracted in the road. Ti: ssation
|of this traffic, under the orders of tin* President,
was an act of injustice to the people, v. i.o were
already sufficiently taxed; for it tl .nved the
| citizens *f these counties of the very m ns relied
I upon to pay the largely increased tiv a non de
manded by the policy of the Govern i.eut. As
far as rests in my power, J propose t >.-cure to
the people of these counties their jn.sk »'ghts in
this respect by permitting the traffic eh the road
to continue as it existed before tbe iii.* ; *.al inter
ference of the President.
With this view 1 have possessed myself of a
considerable portion of the rolling stock of the
road, and now propose to you that, as President
of the Company, von continue the management
of the road within the limits of the influence of
the forces under my command, and conduct it, as
before the < xistence of the war, in the interest of
the people who are interested in the slock. I
propose that you will contiuue your ageuts and
employees, with the single restriction that they
shall be men who are not inimical to the interests
of the people of these counties, and that the stock
holders shall enjoy all the benefits to which their
railroad charter eutitles them. Iu order to secure
the rights ot the stockholders, I have directed an
account to be kept of the earnings and expenses
of the road, including the amount to which the
company will be entitled for transporting troops
undermy orders. This account will be rendered
to you and the balance paid over, on the single
condition that it shall be applied to the purposes
contemplated by the charter. If the proposition
is declined I propose transferring the rolling stock
to such agents as may be appointed by the comi
ties through which the road passes. This will in
sure an equitable distribution of the properly of
the road in the interest of the stockholders.
I am, sir, very respectfully,
Y our obe’t servant,

Affairs on the Upper Potomac.— A friend just
from Jefferson county gives us more minute in
formation respecting the last stirring events
xvhich occurred at Shepherdsiown, in that couuiy.
The public is aware that Shopherdstovvn is im
mediately on tho Potomac, about 7 miles ab«ve
Harper’s Ferry. A Federal rvgiment has for
some time beeu stutioued just opposite, on- the
Mary land side, professedly for the purpose of pro
tecting the canal, but. really to molest and annoy
their neighbors on the opposite shore.
It seems .that on Tuesday, t.he 17th ult., about
seventy-five of tjie vandals ventured over the riv
er, crossing it at the ford about a mile below the
town, and succeeded in penetrating almost to the
centre of the town before anyone knew it. As
soon as their presence was known, and amid the
great consternation of the inhabitants, all the citi j
zens capable of bearing arms were busily getting
ready such weapons as they could muster to give
the invaders a spirited resistance.; Just at this
moment about a dozen of Ashby’s Cavalry, who
hud been scouting, galloped into the town, and
led by Danied 11. Morgan, t brother of Capt. Mor
gan, of Stuart’s Cavalry,) dashed down the street
up which the enemy were coming, and .dispersed
them in every-direction, sending them in double
quick across the river. This charge deserves more
than a passing notice. Those gallant twelve
charged the enemy against the entreaties and
protestations of the citizens, they supposing it was
madness for so sum 11 a number to encounter a
jorce so much superior. They deserve great cred
it for their gallantry.
But one of the most outrageous and atrocious
acts of the whole war remains yet to be told. On
the Friday following, at half past nine o’clock at
night, the report of cannon, followed by the noise
of4 pounders and pieces of iron, told too plainly
that the vengeance of the vandals could only be
appeased by a regular bombardment of the town,
and that, too, without giving a moment’s warning
to the helpless women and children who were
sleeping within its precincts. The firing was kept
up at intervals for about two hours, and only
ceased, xve are informed, because their cannon
burst (another interposition of Providence - ) and
prevented further mischief. They' succeeded,,
however, in driving nearly all the women and
children from the place, many of whom had to
encamp out all night.. Several balls and pieces of
old iron fired by tin* savages xvere.picked up by
the citizens. Most/ of thq bails struck near the
centro of the town, and the marvel is how the in
habitants escaped, for, strange to say, no one
was injured. Colonel Ashby, with Ids whole com
mand, is now encamped near Shephcvdstown,
and with the aid of several hundred militia, will
be able to protect the border from future depreda
tions.—Richmond, Dispatch , Ist.
The London Shipping Gazette of the 11th, con
tains the following in relation to the position and
disposition of Europe—particularly England and
France—towards Mexico :
The expectation that, a combined Anglo-French
naval and military expedition is to be immediate
ly organized to obtain redress for the indignities
and injuries inflicted on British and French inter
ests 7 in Mexico, is regarded with satisfaction by
all who have xvatched the painful consequences of
the toleration so long shown to tlie various gov
ernments in that country. It is reported .that
Spain is also anxiously desirous of some respecta
ble adjustment that may put an end to the pre
vailing horrors : and the private letters last re
ceived from Mexico, reiterate the assertion that
foreign intervention is prayed for by the whole
population, with the exception of the military or
political robbers, by whom the existing anarchy
has been created. Under the circumstances, too
it is assumed that the Federal Cabinet of Wash-,
ington will be disposed to co operate in the work,
so that it shall permanently conciliate all rational
claims. Whether the question is to he dealt, with
by the general combination which seem* thus iu
prospect, or by England and France atone, it is
evident that further delay is at an end.
It is surmised in some quarters that it is the
object of the two powers to have a strong force m
the Mexican waters, and thus take advantage of
any contingency that may arise during the pend
ing conflict between the Northern and Southern
States.
News items from the Richmond Enquirer of
October Ist ;
It was stated from Manassas ■ a yesterday even
ing, that tlie enemy were occupying ii. force the
position which uaf troops hid abandoned, and
that a bailie was expected to-day between the two
armies. But the air is so filled with rumors that
it is impossible to know wluu to believe, or
whether to believe any of them. The city was
rife with them last flight— with no better founda
tion for most, than men’s excited imagination.
One Federal Steamer Lost.—The steamer that
xvas so severely injured on Wednesday last by
Cant- YValker’s Battery at Freestone Point was
t e Resolute—that well known thief of the Poto
mac. We are happy to be informed by a reliable
gentleman, that she afterwards sunk from her in
juries, while descending the Potomac. Her smoke
stack is to be seen sticking out of the water near
Mathias Point.
Military Movements.—There has been a sud
den and general activity in military circles during
tbe past two or. three days. Several thousands of
troops have within that period been dispatched
in various directions, and it is surmised that these
energetic movements all indicate an early utter
ance of the word “ Forward !” by our conimand
ing generals. The Madison Infantry, a fine and
full battalion attached to the 4tb Louisiana regi
ment, is expected to depart for North Western
Virginia this morning, and the Jeff. Davis Artil
lery, Capt. J. T. Montgomery, will also, probably,
start this morning to join Gen. Johnston’s com
mand. This splendid corps muster upwards of
12" raeß, and some 150 horses, the latter the free
gift of certain patriotic citizens of Alabama. Tbe
company are provided with eight admirable rifled
pieces manufactured at Roipe, Georgia.
Release of Messrs. Harris and Magraw.—
Messrs. Arnold Harris, and Henry Magraw, ar
ested for their unauthorized entrance within the
lines of our army m search of Clol. Cameron’s
■ body, were yesterday released from confinement
upon the usual parole terms. The first named
; will depart immediately for Kentucky, of which
j State he is a native. Mr. Magraw is » Pennsyl
vaniafi and will probably also go home. They
; have both been regarded as of strong Southern
| proclivities.
Release of Pfisoners from Fort Lafayette.—
James W. Wall, of Burlington, X. J., George L.
Bowne, of Cooperstown, N. Y., and Key We9t,
Florida, and Pierce Butler of Philadelphia, have
been released from their confinement at Fort La
fayette.
The New York Herald says that Mr. Wall ard
Mr. Bowne took the following oath :
| Ido swear that I will support, protect and de
fend the Constitution and Government of the
United States against all enemies, whether domes
: tic or foreign, and that I will bear true faith,
allegiance and loyalty to the same, any ordinance,
resolution or law of any State Convention or
' Legislature to the contrary notwithstanding. And
| further, that I do this with a full determination,
pledge and purpose, without any mental rescrva
; tion or evasion whatsoever.
No oath was tendered to Mr. Butler, but he
signed the following pledge :
Be it knowo that I, Pierce Butler, have given j
my solemn pledge that, dnriug the present
troubles, 1 will do no act hostile to the United .
States, and will not visit South Carolina without '
a passport from the Secretary of State.
Mr. Butler, it will be remembered, wn<? arrested
in Philadelphia, on the 2*nh of Angu.'i last, on a
charge of giving information to the rebels. He j
went to Churlco 10 n shortly after th lull of Fori
; Sunnier, and returned ab n ut two weeks previous
[to his arrest. It was alledged that during the m
tervai he was engaged in huYing arms transport- ;

Tlie Federalist s attacked Gen. Lee at Big Rewell
on Saturday last, 28tb ult. They were met with
great vigor by the Confederates. The light lasted
through Sunday, and resulted in a total defeat of
the Federalists, who, at last accounts, wcrerapid

have been mortally wounded in a skirmish pre

McK piny a pair of shoes, very simple and in
geniously made of a species of gum xvood, of
which our swamps contain an everlasting, supply,
and which, wheu seasoned, combines the light
ness of white pine, the strength of hickory, aud
to some degree, the elasticity and endurance of
horn. They can be made waterproof by the. ad
dition of a coat of oil orvarnuh. Jn the present
scarcity of leather the, suitability of these ' shoes
for plantation use is a matter of grave moment.
Specimens of the shoes may be seen in our
office.
YVe clip theabox'e from the (-harle.ston dhrranj.
If we can make good shoes with wooden bottoms
—and we know they can be made, for xve saw
some of them last year, introduced by Mr. James
A. Guay of this city, and they are belter for farm
laborers than leather bottoms -and With oil-cloth
tops, such material as is manufactured in half a
dozen places in the Confederacy, xve can snap our
lingers at “leather and prunella.”
An Awfol Battle at IL.xo.—pi view of the. fact
that on every occasion, before and.since the battle ‘
of Manassas, the Federal', have fun, when any de i
movisiration was made on their front, the follow
ing, from the Herald, will prove t,o tho reader, re '
freshing, at least. The bare idea of Yankees 1
; fighting a “terrible battle” is intensely amusing.
1 But Bennett gives a significant glance at startling
! probabilities, for the benefit of some of his North- ■
J ern cotemporaries :
! A terrible battle is at hand between the 400,000 i
troops on the banks of the Potomac—2oo,uOO on
j either side—a battle which will be greater than
that of Waterloo, and will probably b< deA-dro' j
j against the party which loses it. The mo. civ re
sults depending on it will invoive tho dcs.u.y of
! the people of this r or«tioent, and perhaps of mod*
I ern civilisation. If there should he a partial ck |
feat of the Federal army, let the abolition leaders !
