This induced the necessity oT concert oi action
on our part, as the executives of the several 5ta...5

As to the final result, fellow-citizens, judging

Except on the coast and on our rivers at points
easily assailed by gunboats, we have bad no cause
to complain of the result.
Witness Bethel, Manassas, Oak Hill, Lnxingtun,
Leesburg, Belmont, Shiloh and (Jhickabominy;
our soldiers have shown on every field a desper
ate valor that has wrung reluctant plaudits from
our Luted foes. Whenever ordered to advance,
thev have done so regardless of the danger, and
at the word of command have crowded the road
to death as to a festival.
With such soldiers, aud such incentives to an
tiop, and with all present causes of complaint iu
the course of speedy removal, we again say to
you, be of good cheer. There is every thing to
encourage us, and you may rest assured that it is ,
our fixed and unalter ble purpose to contest eve
tj inch of ground with the enemy, and judging
you by your past patroi'ism, wo shall most co-. li
dently rely on you for your hearty and earnest co
operation.
Be firm. true, hopeful and resolute, and a just
God will help and protect, whilst brave hearts
will fight and die for you.
Submission or subjugation places the feet of the
oppressor upon your necks, yields up your noble
women to Butters, and degrades ot drives into
exile your children.
A people united and determined to be free, can
never be conquered, remember this; gird on your
swords, shoulder your rifles, aud be ready for the
word of command when given by the government
of your choice and affection.

■Trout) the Army of Northern Virginia^
Oui intelligence ot the great battle fought last
Saturday on the plains of Manassas is still meagre
and unsatisfactory. The lew facts wo have uro
obtained from au officer of Longstrcet’s division,
who was wounded about the close of the engage
ment. Ilis knowledge, however, extends but lit
tle beyond the occurrences in his own immediate
brigade.
Thu battle wus begun about three o’clock in tho
afternoon. Jackson having command of the left
left on Bull Run at
Union Mills ; Longatreet in the centre, faced Mu -
uas3as Junction; while our right under A. P, Uili
stretched away towards Thoroughfare Gap. Too
battle was begunou the left, but m a few mom;-
became general, and raged w ith unexampled tin
until near night fall, when the enemy giving way
were pursued on all sid a with great slaughter.
Having retreated a distance of two miles, the en
emy suddenly and very unexpectedly halted and
poured such murderous volleys ol artillery and
musketry into our line3 that our advance was
suddenly checked. At this juncture, daakuess
coming on, there was an end of the conflict. Our
troops occupied that night the ground they had
taken from the enemy. The next morning tho
combat was renewed, and lasted for two hours but
with what result we have been unable to learn
Our loss in the fight of Saturday is loosely es'.i
mated at teu thousand men. The enemy’s i:
thought to be double that number. Our informant
says that the two miles over which we pursued
the enemy were red with dead aed woundca
Zouaves. We took several thousand prisoners, all
of whom are said to have been paroled the next
morning, and allowed to proceed through our
lines to Washington. Among these prisoners
were some raw recruits who had ouly been m tho
service ten days. Our mtormaut thinks the foie
of the enemy outnumbered us two to one. The
enemy retreated towards the Potomac in the di
rection of Occoquan.
The following glowing version of the battle is
given by the l.vnchburg Republican of yesterday.
But few additional particulars of the battle os ;
Saturday last, upon the plums of Manassas, tv:
received'last night. That cur victory was amo ;
signal one, and the rout of the enemy total and
complete, admits of no doubt. But that th; , g;.,
rious result was attained at a feartul cost ot 1.
and the loss of many of the noblest and brave ■
spirits ol the Southern army, is alas, but too j
true.
On the side of the enemy, General McDowell is :
said to be mortally wounded, General Seigle kill j
ed, as also the infamous Sickles. Pope and Me- j
Cleilan are also reported wounded, but we know !
not with what truth.
Our losses i t the fight of Saturday, it is supp -
ed, will reach at least teu thousand, and of these j
three thousand .vere killed. Our informant an
officer who participated in the tight, says ’ the !
ground was covered with the dead, iu mat:y !
places they lay in heaps, and in one particular t
spot, iu au open field, through which our nieu )
charged upon u battery of the enemy, he could ■
walk over the dead for the space of fifty yards. |
On the enemy’s side, the losses are supposed to }
be at least twice as great as ours, exclusive oi |
prisoners, whom the officer above mentioned j
thinks did not exased four thousand, taken duriny
the fight, though they were being captured each I
moment in their flight. He was in the battle of I
the 21st of July, and describes the rout cf tin.
enemy ou Saturday us far more disastrous than ;
that. Our cavalry charged them at every step in I
their retreat, and slaughtered them until it became [
a butchery. Night put an end to the bloody scene, j
: and our men bivouacked iu the open field to renew !
j the pursuit on Sunday morning.
| The retreat cf the enemy was being urged to
| wards Ouray, every other avenue of escape being
j cut off'. But little chance, it was though , was open
I to them on the route, an.i our informant th nks
i that before this, in all probability, the army cl
| Pope has ceased to exist, and the larger porno:;
j of it is killed or captured.
I The number of cannon captured was uud;;
j estimated yesterday. It is stated that Pops had
j about. one hundred and fifty guns and it is tu-i
; thought that he saved twenty of them. They,
i however, were many of them rendered unfit for
i use before being abandoned bv tbs enemy. The
j whole battle field was strewed with Emali'srms of
| every description, and overcoats aud blankets
almost innumerable The fight, as we stated yes
terday, was near the Sufi! y church. I nearly
upon the same ground o! the memorable conflict
jot last year. When our informant left, on Satur-
I hav eight, having been wounded, our men weie
j ic glorious spirits, and there was not one who did
I u °\ anticipate that be:ore the week closed, the last
j of toe invaders would be driven from our Siate,

By the arrival of tlie steamer Fairplay lately
cih, ttuxd by Hi. gunboat Benton at Milliken’s
Ben i, we gather a tew additional particulars,
which wo subjoin :
The Fairolay bad emerged from Yazoo river,
and made Vicksburg, tlcre she was loaded with
guns aud ammunition, and le t Vicksburg on Mon
day night about 8 o’clock for Milliken’s Bend.
Bhe reached that point about 12 o'clock and about
three hours afterward tho runbonl Benton came
ih, -vii ami was about anchoring where the Fair
play lay, but on observing a light, apparently on
shore, a lug with twelve men was sent to see from
what it proceeded. The tag was in charge of
Lieut. J. W. Atkinson, who soon discovered that
k. w'. i -.learner, and that tlie men on boatd were
escaping from it with all possible baste. When
lie go! on board, he found that every man had left
it, vvrhout firing a gun, except iqnarternraster
Antliony, who waa taken prisoner. The arms
n ltd ammunition captured on board the Fairplay
Were as follow s:
12C0 Eufield rifles, English manufacture.
4240 muskets, English manufac'ure.
21 boxes English accoutrements.
ISB boxes English musket accoutrements.
81,000 round English cartridges.
34,000 round musket cartridges.
2500 round howitzer ammunition.
The above were marked for Geu. Holmes, Gen.
Hindman and Gen. Van Horn, ft is estimated
that the boat, arms and ammunition captured are
worth fully SIOO,OOO. The Fairplay passed up to

Giuxlex’s 20,000,000 or Malcontsmts What
they Say. —A few days ago we briefly adverted
to a letter addressed to Lincoln by on* ITorac.-
Greeley through the columns of the New York
Tribune “!a the name of twenty million” i : ' tb ;
American people. YTe gave Mr. l.inculnL: litter '
in full, but had not room for that Os Greeley .
We now give a brief review of some of the points .
made agaiust Abraham by the man ol'thu i'ritun. . ;
Ibe “twenty ruiUiou. speaking through |
Greeley, charges the PreiiJent with wilfully in
fusing to execute the laws (meaning the cnntiseu ‘
liou law, and that law only so far as it rt-ln* :t to !
slaves.) They aay :
** We think you are strangely bud diSasfrousty'-j
remiss iu the discharge of your official intperativo ’
duty with regard to Uie eui-itic pa.tion provi u tm; '
of the new confiscation act.”
“The “twenty millions” say that they believe
the only way to end the war is to übulisn slavery,
and quotes aa authorities for Hits belief t.ot only
professed Republicans, but “such eminent loyal
ists as It. Winter Davis, Parson Brown' ~ t* '
Union Gentral Committee of Baltimore, and the :
Nashville Union.” They add that nn “iuitdligvV.i
Union Banker of BuUimore" h.e: Been reconllj
heard to say .“that a majority of the pres ot Li-u
islature ol Maryland, tliough elected as an-i still
professing to be Unionists, are at heart -It-Rii- >us
of the triumph of the Jeff. Davis conspiracy, urnt
when asked how they couid be won back to b>v
alty, lie replied, “Only by the eoutpio'e iibolition
ot slavery.” “Twenty tAtj 11 cuft”’ ou.itito 1 i t-rial this
weight of testiu'iony. They are surprised that
the President is not equally open to conviction.
The “80,000,000” coioplftiu that tub 'President
treats traitors with altogether too much tender
ness and with a forbearance''that does prejudice
to the dearest rights of loyal men. In a word, hot
to put too fine a point on it, Mr. Lincoln is a
“sympathizer.”
Intmtb’er proof of the deplorable" feet, the
“twenty millions,” speaking through Mr. H. Gree
ley, c-burge that Hie President is “unduly influerc
ed by the counsels, the repr'esentaiimis', the me
naces of fossil politicians hailiug'from the Border
States,” when ii would be so much better for him
to draw all his inspirations, civil, political, social,
I religious, ,economical, and especially Huy,
(rout the concave mirror and parabiilic reflector
of tbe universe, the New York Tribune. The
“twenty millions'’ had expected better things of
Mr. Linholn, but, according to Mr. Ur. , b y, they
are deeply pained and disgusted by tlie PiesidenFs
“mistaken deference to rebel slavery,” and by
iris short sightedness in not having sst-u how to
end the war before it began. On this point tbe
“twenty millions” say :
“We complain that Uie Union cause has suffer
ed, and is now suffering ignominiously, from mis
taken deference to rebel slavery. Had you, sir,
in your inaugural address,- unmistakably given
notice that, iu case the rebellion already commenc
ed were persisted iu, and your efforts to preserve
the Union aud enforce the laws should bo resisted
by armed force, you would recognise no loyal peri
sou as rightfully held iu slavery by a traitor, We
believe the rebellion would have received a stag
gering if not iatal blow.”

We cannot but think tht.i the.government is
ttseff accountati.lc for the embarrassment«»«s«d
by the flood of ompteifeit' money. It has not
used proper care and diligence to protect the peo
ple againnl the fraud.
From the first issue of the money until the pres
ent time, fill its many and various issues were ho
unskilfully and buagiingly engraved that the temp
tation to rogues to iniii.-.R- them was irresistible.
The government, seemed to desire to have the
work done in the cheapest instead ot the best
manner—the worst sort of economy in such cases.
In the next place, instead of adopting one inva
riable design for each lUmimiuatiop of bills, the
plates were so numerous and various, and the sig
natures so different, th it iio Vnan, ewu th most
accustomed to inspecting the men.-y, Cuuld asniVt
that tie was well acquainted with all. ...
With the knowledge of all these lads, and aware
too that the enemy had adopted that often prao
tie,..l uml meanest of hostile maneuvn'::, toufitev-
I’ i ting to depreciate the currency of a belligerent,
the giwernmont gave no o&cial warning of the
fraud, and him pot .-Yea now published any t.nls
by which the people con'd d.-Uct it. Th. iir.it
oliicial notice we have of it is in Hr. Mum sin»*bh'h
report, almost simuluineou :iy with the putting in
circulation ol largo umouiftf oi the counterfeits.
From the Secretary's report, it appears that he
had 'ong known that Bjntriou.i bills were in ciioti
lation, yet hr gave no wurofng. If if bo trill, su
reported, that counterfeits have been paid but by
the Treasury Department in Richmond, there must
he some oIS data there either very careless or very
culpable.
The preseni embarrassment is likely n> be put
temporary, but if the objections we have urged
above to the style and manner of issuing the notes
me not obviated, it will.be again reiicwtiL Lull
I jug in ihe counterfeited issues and issuing anew
will only palliate the evil, for Iho new bills will
SOou be couutcr.’eUed if as .objectionable ns the
preecut. There must be more safeguards thrown
wound the cnrrency, or suspicion and distrust ot
it will never cease. Above all, the government
mast use more activity und diligence in the dc
tectiou and piuii.diuioot oi the luanuiacturej'S <»t
spurious mofiey. I t seems astonishing thut such
large amounts should bo paid nud received and
yet there should be only conjecture, not certainty
as to its source.
The following extracts from a private letter re
ceived in this city, will be of interest:
Culpepi-ei! G. iJ., Va„ Aug. tt'.i, 1302.
Dear Parents :—You see from the above where
we now are. We arrived here at dark, and l -came
in tow'ii with a squad to have some horses shod.
( We will move on for Manassas to-morrow, We
can’t catch up with Jackson, but 1 suppose we
will be with him in two or three days. We have
. good lii-.vvs from turn to day. He lias captured
four trains ol Ouimuisaary Btores, enough to 1 -. and
■ our army for months.
There is quite a iyumbv-r oi. k uuktie pro,,,i. in m
this! place, wao. wcit: taken at Gedar Run.
1 suppose you have all the late news you nan
get it before we do, for ivo travel about nniviurli
that we scarcely get .1 mail now at all.
McKinnie Law is well. Ho will write to his wife
the tirst opportunity Ohuilie and Henry iue ai-o
well. V our .son,
It. H. Watkins.
August SOtli. The Battalion has moved, aud I
am loit with some hoi sea to be shod- ail! follow

There is a rumor her.- llii m.-ming that Sinail

| From Chattanooga —We extract the following
I from a letter from Chattanooga, dated 31st ult.
| Our correspondent gives the marks by which to
| detect counterfeit notes—as we have already pub-
I li.ihtd them, wc omit that part of hi. letter:
The only subjects diucursed here counter
feit bills, Morgan’s retaliation and soldiers’ pay.
The opiuion obtains universally among the lead -■
ing r.iiuds, f have met here that Morgan has
struck a card in the Confederate bosom tall of
music. If the idea upon which President Davis .ns
been conducting this war is to obtain much longer
t neve will be afeaifui muiiiplication oi \ a nice.-
ontrsg.'is, but when they iind that we have officers
j i„ pur service who will not submit to the .eternal
morbid conscientious scruples and sickly
IrumsuHsrisnisto, hut assuming the responsibility,
seTid on a- balance sheet to the war office iu
«liicb they bet forth how many men they lost and
how tlievlost them, how many they killed, hoiv
they killed some and why they killed others, then,
aud not tell then, may you expect to know of
thi3 war’s being conducted according to tie
usages of civilized warfare. The expectation is
universal among the soldiers and tue desire is
universal among the people that the pay o! the.
privates be raised to 25 or SO dollars per mouth.
When their pay was fixed at 11 dollars, shoes
were?! 25 per pair. Now they are from 12 to
24 dollars per pair and the government, to its
eternal infamy be it spoken, does not furnish
the soldier in 12 months rhoes enough to. lost
him six months. Surely a Congress that voted
itself s2h pir diem will hardly refuse to grant lb«
poor soldier in the field $25 per month.

On Sunday they sent out two boats with parties
and destroyed Sanders’, Hawking A ilaruum's

The invading party was fouiposed almost to a
man ot Massachusetts and fiiew York troops.—
Hardly a foreigner among then,.
