The New* from Virginia.
/All accounts from the late battles in
Virginia up to this time are vague and
unsatisfactory, and, in some instances,
appear somewhat conflicting. The offi
cial dispatch of General Lee, published
a few days since, and whioh is of course
the most reliable information we have,
stated that our victory had been signal,
and that it had been won over the “com
bined forces of Gone. Pope and McClel
lan.” This report, bearing an official
form, and coming from the highest au
thority in the Confederate army, may be
regarded as correct. And yet a dispatch,
supposed to have been taken from tho
Baltimore American, announces that Mc-
Cleliau was not sent to reinforco Pope,
but that ho still retains command of the
Army of the Potomac, and of that divi
sion alone. The same dispatch, how
ever announces upon the authority of
statements “in the late Baltimore papers”
tho death of Gen. McClellan. This lat
ter report ia corroborated by a dispatch
received a few days since announcing a
rumor that McClellan had been badly
wounded in the engagement of Saturday.
We must remember, however, that al
though the Baltimore American has some
reputation for truthfulness, it is now in
tho service of the Lincoln despotism, and
had Gen. McClellan died of wounds re
ceived in tho late battles, the policy of
the Lincoln journals would bo to prepare
the Northern mind for the reception of
such nows by mistating facts. The
statement, therefore, that McClellan was
not in the engagement, may be regarded
as corroborative of tho report of his
death by the same papers, as they
would not state outright, within a
convenient distance of I'ort Lafayette,
that McClellan had been killod in the late
battles which resulted so disastrously to
the Northern arms.
Enough, however, is known to warrant
the belief that the Northern army, in
cluding the “grand army” of the Poto
mac, has been completely overwhelmed,
defeated, and shamefully routed. The
enemy acknowledge the loss of a single
day—that of Friday—to amount to 8,000
killed and wounded, besides the missing
and prisoners. The Baltimore “Sun”
styles their defeat “an utter route,” and
says that up to Friday night their loss
was 17,000. This would make their loss
on Thursday— the day on which the lying
Pope claims a ‘ ‘victory”—to be 9,000.
Nothing is said in the Northern papers
of the fight on Saturday—the day pre
vious to the date of Gen. Lee’s dispatch
above referred to.
Winchester—for months past the scene
of Yankee cruelty and outrage—has been
evacuated with great loss, in ammunition
and war equipments, to the enemy, and
Virginia is once more cleared of the ha
ted vandals except the narrow skirt
along the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay,
within range of their much beloved gun
boats. Onr opinion is, however, that the
gunboat Panacea of the Yankees has seen
its happiest days. Oao superior iron
clad Confederate steamer, of European
manufacture, has arrived safely in our
harbors already, and the indications are
that others may soon bo heard from.
Yankee Getter*.
We have before us a batch of Yankee
letters captured at tho late engagement
in the vicinity of Cumberland Gap.—
Most of these letters were written from
Clarks, Ohio, and it seems they all be
longed to one company. Aside from the
COirse pioturesand ginger-bread display
of gridiron flags on the envelopes, and
other cheap designs so characteristic of
Yankee taste, there is little to distinguish
them from the ordinary “I hope these
few lines may find you enjoying the same
great blessing” category of literature.—
Some of the envelopes contain huge
blotches of blue ink, intended to repre
sent “our gunboats attacking the rebel
batteries” on the Mississippi. Another,
looking more like a gaudy cake-shop sign
than an envelope, bears this inscription
in large red letters: “The great rebel
lion of 1861.” Others have representa
tions of tents and camp equipage, and
others large steel plate engravings of a
soldier standing by a pole, around which
is wound a striped rag, giving it very
much the appearance of a newly varnish
ed barber’s pole. Under these carica
tures is written: “Three cheers for tho
red, white and blue”—the “blue”, how
ever, is seen only at the top of the pole,
thus rendering the insult to the poor bar
ber more complete 1
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR!
THE LATEST DETAILS.
From the Richmond Dispatch of Thursday.
We have indulged tho hope that wo
would be able to lay before our readers
this morning some particulars of the
great tight of Saturday iaat. In this,
however, we have been disappointed, and
must content ourselves with giving such
information as wo have been able to
collect. We have been permitted to
make some extracts from a private letter
written at Gainsville, Saturday uigui at
1U o’olook. The writer says:
‘•vVoare again victorious oil tho clasie plains
of Manassas! This morning we were anxious,
but not uneasy. VV e iougnt and won yester
day, but heard of immense reinforcements to
the enemy during tho night, while ours could
uotcome up in time to participate in to-day’s
tight. But it began, and to-night wiiiie i write
the enemy ure treeing and our troops after
them. So the combined armies of Dope, 51c-
Ulcllan, and Burnside, are driven mglonously
from the held, {several of their regiments
Were cut to pieces, and in ton minutes all but
three of the Ist Pennsylvania were killed or
wounded. Kemper's division of our corps
captured three batteries; Hood's division
passed over thirty pieces of artillery; Lou.
Jenkins, of South Carolina, was wounded;
Col. Skinner mortally wounded; and mauy
others whose names 1 iiave not learned. They
outnumbered us, by their own account, nearly
three toone. Anderson’s division wasshglitly
engaged this afternoon.
-lire tight did not commence until 4 o’clock,
and even now occasionally I can hear the
booming of big guns coming back on the air,
as they harass the retreating enemy.”
The passengers by the Central train,
yesterday, were familiar with no facts
beyond what has already been laid be
fore the public. As usual, they came
freighted with reports collected at Gor
donsvillo during the short stay, of the
train at that point. The real position
of the two armies was not known, though
it was stated that the enemy, when last
heard from, were rapidly retreating in
tho direction of Occoquan, and our forces
hotly pursuing. A largo body of our
army was at Nall’s uhurch, whilst
Stuart’s cavalry was represented to
have reached Alexandria.
Passengers by the train reported the
death of Qen. Ewell, but this was after
wards contradictod.
Up to a late hour iaet night the War
Department had reccivod no additional
information.
One account states (hat tho loss in
Gen. Jackson’s corps is estimated at from
COO to 800 killed and wounded. The
6th Virginia regiment is reported to have
lost one-half the men thoy had engaged.
Oa Thursday afternoon the positions
of Generals Jackson and Ewell were near
Sudley Church, their right resting on
Groveton, and their left to tho old bat
tlo-field of Manassas. About 6 o’clock,
the enemy, under McClellan, advanced
by tho Warrenton road, when our artil
lery opened upon them. An engage
meat of two liours oocucd, nhcu the
enomy were driven from the field, and
beyond the Warrenton Turnpike.
■it. From the Richmond Enquirer, 4th.
Neither train nor telegraph furnished
us with sufficient information on yester
day to present our readers with anything
satisfactory relating to the movements of
the army. The battle of Saturday last
was presented more clearly to view by
the intelligence received, if not in detail,
at least in its general plan. Our army
having previously “headed off” tho Fed
eral army under Pope, had possession of
Manassas plains, Centrevillo and a poet
somo 8 or 10 miles east of the Manassas
Junetion, forming the segimenl of a cir
cle, the design wa§ to force Pope back —
deprive him completely of direct commu
nication with Washington or Alexandria,
and eventually induce his surrender or
annihilation. But it appears that McClel
lan, by a circuitous route, striking south,
and then west from "Alexandria, succeed
ed in forming a junction with Pope. The
Confederate army’ now fronted to the
South, and the Federal army towards
Washington.'* The advance corps from
Burnside was marching on rapidly from
Fredericksburg to complete the amass
ment on the Federal side.
The battle! as stated by us on yester
day, commenced on our right, tho enomy
ffiaking the attack; Burnside’s advance
forces reaching the ground in good time,
rendered the resistance of the Federal
army, against our advancing columns, an
impediment to speedy success of no insig
nificant nature.
The tide of battle, however, was soon |
developed in favor of our arms, and the |
enemy defeated on all sides, as our forces i
closed upon them, retreated across the
railroad, into the road taken by McClel
lan, and thence, it is presumed to Alex
andria, leaving behind vast quantities of
arms and munitions of overy desription,
large numbers of dead and wounded, and
upwards of 10,000 prisoners.
The army of Gen. Pope, it is estimated,
did not escape with one half of its men.
The movement on the part of the enemy,
was a daring one and was designed, no
doubt, with the view of retreating in the
direction taken, as the only means of ex
tricating Pope from his almost hopeless
dilemna.
ADDITIONAL.
The following note from a friend at
Bapidan, on yesterday, was handed to
us at a late hour last evening :
“Last reports say that in all probabil
ity the fight will be renewed to-day.
Cols. Moore and Glover were among tho
wounded on Saturday. Gen. Ewell is
doing as well as might be expected. It
is said that Pope was wounded in the
hip, and that Sickles is certainly killed.
Wo captured over eighty pieces of artil
lery, as thus far ascertained; a good
many of them are long range guns. Col.
Skinner is severely wounded.
Tho Lynchburg “Republican” of yes
terday eays:
On the enemy’s side tho losses are
supposed to be at least twice as great as
ours, exclusive of prisoners, whom our
informant thinks did not exceed in ail
four thousand, taken during the fight, ;
though they were being captured each
moment in their flight. 110 was in the |
battle of the 21st July, and describes the .
rout of tho enemy on Saturday a3 far j
more disastrous than that. Our cavalry j
charged them at every step iu their re
treat, and slaughtered them until it be
came a butchery. Night put an end to
he bloody scene, and our men bivouacked
{NO. U.
in the open field, to renew the pursuit on
’ Sunday morning.
The retroat of the enemy was being
urged towards Laury, overy other avenue
of eecapo being cut off. But little
chance, it was thought, was open to them
on the route, and our informant thinks
that befaro this, in all probability, the
army of Pope has coased to exist, and
the larger portion of it is killed or cap
tured.
The number of cannon captured was
underestimated yesterday. It is stated
that Pope had about one hundred and
fifty guns, aud it ia thought he saved
twenty of them. They however were,
many of them, rendered unfit for use
before being abandoned by the enemy.
The whole battle field was strewed with
small arms of every description, and
overcoats and blankets almest innumera
ble. The light, as wo stated yesterday,
was near the Sudley Church, and nearly
upon the same ground of the memorable
conflict of last year. When our inform
ant left ou Saturday night, having been
wounded, our men were in glorious spir
its, and there was not one who did not
anticipate that before the week closed,
the last of the invaders would be driven
from our State, and our victorious legions
be pouring into Maryland to rcsoue her
from the oppressor’s grasp.
There were rumors of more severe
fightiDg on Monday, but we place no
credit in them whatever. From all ac
counts that have reached us, Pope’s army
was too much cut up and demoralized to
have made a stand so soon, and we are*
reliably informed that on Sunday our
troops were sixteen miles from tho battle
field, on the Leesburg road, still pursuing
the enemy, who were in detaohed squads,
without any show of organization.
Interview Between General McGow
an and tlie Tory Bushwhacker.
A correspondent of the Mobilo Regis
ter relates tho following :
On tho arrival of Gen. McCowan, who
lived between Barboursville and the Ford,
and which was the rendezvous of tho
Bushwhacker Homo Guard, an old man
came up, named Brock, believing our
troops to be the Federals, and thus ad
dressed the General:
“Mighty glad you have come, Gener
al; we have been expecting you fora
long time, and I have just come to draw
my gun to kill somo of thoso d—d rebols.
I s’pose you know we’vo got 200 muskets
in this house for tho Homo Guards, which
have been spilin’ for want of uso.”
“O, yes,” replied tho General, taking
his cue ; “I’ve come up expressly to issue
them out, and only wish there were more
of them.”
“Well,” said the old villain, “I want
mine, and two more for my boys, who are
as good shots as ever pulled trigger, and
if they miss a rebel when they once draw
a bead Vn ’em, you may hang me ?”
“But what If the rebels should catch
you ?” said the General, humoring tho
bushwhacker, having obtained all the
information from him that he could.
“No fear—they’ll never do that, since
you have come to help us, General,”
replied the villain, with a sardonic grin
and knowing look, adding, “If they’re
all as brave as I am we’d soon clean ’em
out!”
“Well,” said Gen. McCowan, I must
inform you, Sir, that you are in the
presence of a rebel General.”
“Rebel h—ll—you can’t fool mo, Gin
cral, with that face of yours. No rebel
wears as honest a lookiug face as that on
his shoulders.”
That tho reader may appreciate this
remark, he must know that Gen. Mo-
Cowan is one of tho plainest men in our
army, and from his dress and manners,
would be taken for an old fashioned
farmer.
“Sergeant of the guard 1” called out
the General, “take charge of this man.”
At this, old Brock received an electric
shock, and turning pale, with a trem
ble over him, liko a man just taken
with an ague, tried to force a grin, and
with a cunning assumed look, said, “I
knew you all tho time, General; I was
only joking !”
“I knew you was,” said the General,
“and I think it’s the best joke out.”
What became of Brock afterwards “no-
Itody knows !”
The Yankee* Ueluforclng at Suf
folk,
We havo authentic intelligence from
Suffolk as late as Monday night last.—
Tho Federal forces there now number
10,000, having been largely reinforced.
It is said they anticipated an attack.—
An advance guard has been pushed up
to Franklin on Blackwater. These lat
ter consist of two batteries of artillery,
500 cavalry, and one regiment of infan
try, numbering 800.
Tho same gentleman who gives us the
above information, dined with a friend
Monday, who informed him that he
learned from a party just from New
port’s News, that Gen. McClellan had
certainly resigned his position in the Fed
eral army and gone to Philadelphia

Gen. Pope’* Dre«* Coat.
This interesting pieoe of apparal, taken
with other things at the headquarters of
the Yankee Gen. Pope, on Friday last, by
Gen. Stuart, has been hung up amidst the
numerous trophies that adorn and disfig
ure the galleries of the State Library.—
The coat is made of the finest black broad
doth, trimmed with velvet, the collar on
each side bearing the insignia of a Major
General, and tho breast and sleeves adorn
ed with massive brass buttons. Its stylo
is exceedingly handsome —says the En
quirer.
Pope is a miserable dog. 110 has not
only had to run like a whipped cur, but j
had to leave his coat behind him lie
was not only forced to show his back, but
had to undergo tho mortification of show
ing his bare bark Not content with mnk
tng him “skedaddlo,” Stuart, the provok
ing fellow, made him tako to his heels all
in a state of dishabille. Verily, “he who
exaltheth himself shall be debased.”—
Lynchburg Republican.
An absent wife is thu3 advertised for;
“Jane, your absence will ruin all. Think

From our Army in Virginia.
Richmond, Sept. 5. — A private- dis
patch from Gordonsville this afternoon,
says that an aid of Gen. Lawton reports
Gen. Ewell at Buckland, Prince William
county, m an improving condition.
The latest reliable news from the seat
of war received here, ia to Ist inst.—
The Yankees are still flying towards
Alexandria and our troops pursuing.
A Confederate foroe has occupied Win
chester, capturing 90 prisoners and a
largo amount of stores and ammunition.
Mobile, Sept. 6.—A speoial dispatch
to the Advertiser, dated Tupelo, sth,
says Gea. Armstrong’s official dispatch,
say3 since his last dispatch he has cross
ed tho Hatohie, and passed between Boli
var and Jackson, Tennessee, destroying
bridges and trestle work.
At Denmark he encountered two regi
ments of infantry, two squadrons of cav
alry, and two pieces of artillery. He
captured the artillery, destroyed a por*
tion of the train, took 213 prisoners, and
killed and wounded, by their own ac
count, 75 of the enomy. Our loss small.
The prisoners were parclled.
At the Bolivar fight two Federal Colo
nels were among tho killed. At Den
mark one Lieut. Colonel and eight offi
cers wore takon prisoners. Gen. Arm
strong had tho 00-operation of Col. Jack
son, whose command deserves equal
credit with his own.

Greeley v*. Greeley.
Soon after the e’ection of Linooln had
become generally known, and whilst
South Carolina was taking the prelimina
ry Bteps to secede from tho old Union,
Horace Greeley, of tho New York Trib
une—tho great maguot of abolitionism—
wrote as follows:
“Wo hold with Jefferson to the inali
enable right of communities to alter or
abolish forms of government that have
become oppressive or injurious, aud if
the cotton States shall become satisfied
that they can do bettor out of tho Union
than in it, wo insist upon letting them go
in peace # * * Whenever a eon
siderahie section of our Union shall de
liberately resolve to go out, wo shall re
sist all coercive measures designed to
keep it iu. We hope never to live in a
Republic, whereof oue section is pinn
ed to the residue by bayouels.”
This extract is taken from tho N. Y.
Tribune of the 17th December, 1860.
Now hoar what he says ou the Ist of May,
18C1 :
“But, nevertheless, we mean to con
quer them (iho Confederate Btate) not
merely to.. defeat, but to co.noukk, to sub
jugate them. But when the rebellious
traitors are overwhelmed in the field,
und scattered liko leaves betoro an angry
wind, it must not be to return to peaceful
and contented homes! They must find
rovuKXY at their firesides, and see pri
vation in the anxious eyes of mothers, and
the bags of children. The whole coast of
the South, from the Delaware to the Rio
Grande, must be a solitude, save from
the preßeuco of a blockading squadron,
bo that no relief can reach the beleaguer
ed poople from any quarter.”
This was after Horaoo and his party
had received such a severe lecturing from
their friends across tho water—after tho
Abolition leaders had been denounoedby
their English friends as wanting in nerve
to make themselves masters of tho posi
tion gained by the eleotion of Mr. Lin
coln. Tho tide of war first eminated
from Exeter Hall; the cowardly Puritans
of Now England dared not advocate co
ercion until backed up and driven into it
by (ho subtle politicians of Europe.
TJte Cumberland River.
Tho occupation of Clarksviilo and Fort
Donelson by tho Confedorato troops,
which has been distinctly ascertained,
says the Memphis Appeal, cuts off the
lust moans of speedy transportation of
supplies to the Federal troops in Middlo
and East Tennessee. Tho railroads from
Nashville to Louisville have both been
rendered usoless, and communication In
that way destroyed. In this situation,
Nashville cannot long stand a siege, for
want of provisions neoessary to main
tain them. Tho dangers of the Federal
army are freely discussed and admitted
by tho Northern press, and we feel cer
tain tho movoments of eur troops will
not serve to extricate thorn. Look out
for stirring news.
Gen. Let’s Plan*.
“Hermes” of the Charleston Mercury
says:
Gen. Lee will probably head the army
of invasion, or at least of deliverance to
Maryland. That ho has been medita
ting work in and beyond his present vi
cinity, was inferrod weeks ago from an
expression of impatience which esoaped
him at hearing that some of our gueril
las had again broken up the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. “It will bo invalu
able to us,” said he.
Tin Nigger Oath.
The following is the form of oath usu
ally administered to “contrabands” that

“You, Cicero, do solemnly swear that
you will bear true aliegianoe to the Uni
ted States ; that you will take good care
of the horses and mules, and, if any of
them get away, you will go after them,
no matter how dark it is, and will also
black boots, to the best of your knowl
edge and belief. So help you General
McDowell.”
