Gen. Toomli’i Brigade.
“P. W. A,” the army correspondent of
the Savannah Republican, speaking of
Jackson’s Division in the battlo of Ma
nassas, says :
Had every part of our lies ou the right
been fought with equal onergy and reso
lution, the victory would havobcen more
decisive even thau it was. Tho timely
uppoarancc of Toombs, and the brilliant
charge ho made, had a controlling effect
upon the fortunes of the day. Colonel
Denning, an officer of rare merit, had
charge of the brigade until his arrival.
Had Drayton promptly co-operated in
the charge, the enemy’s lino would have
been more completely broken, and he
would have been driven upon Bull Run an
hoar sooner than he was. As it was,
ano hour of daylight was all we required
to utterly disperse tho Federal army and
capture many guns and thousands of
prisoners. Jackson had already reached
(ho Run abovo, asid Hood and Toombs’
who held the extreme right of Long
street’s corps, were within a few hundred
’yards of it below, when darkness pre
vented further pursuit. Napoleon de
feated the Austrians at Au3terlitz because,
as he said, they did not know the valuo
of an hour. The prisoners wo did take,
were paroled to-day, and sent North by
way of Harper’s Ferry.
It is new (midnight) raining, and has
been for several hours. The army has
not had a mouthful of bread for four
days, and no food of any kind, except a
little green corn picked up on the road
side, for thirty-six hours. The provision
trains are ooming up, but many of the
troops will have to go another day with
out any thing to eat. Many of them are
also barefooted. I have seen scores of
them to day marching over tho flinty
tnrupike with torn and blistered feci.
They boar all these hardships without
murmuring, since every step they take
brings them that much nearer to bleeding
Maryland. A3 for tests, they have not
known what it was to sloop under one
since last spring.
Our Army in Maryland—Particular.
or ihe Passage or tiro Potomac.
i’ho nows received yesterday afternoon
removes every doubt that may have here
tofore existed with reference to tho pas
sage of the l’otomao by our forces. We
have, at last, Intelligence from tho north
ern banks of that stream, whloh gives ns
Ihe unmistakable assurance that tho feet
es on* gallant soldiers now tread Ihe soil
of Merylfiiid.
A dl*tingnl*h«d offiesr, wh» participa
ted in the tights around Manassas, arriv
ed in this city yesterday afternoon by the
Central train, and left the forces which
ho commands on tho loft bank of tho Po
tomac, on Friday night. To him wa are
Indebted for the following particulars:
On thureday, during the day, ihe cav
alry foroe under command of Brig. Gen.
Robertson, engaged a portion of the ene
my’s forces near Fall’s Church. Nearly
tho entire day was spent in skirmishing
between tho contending parties. While
this was going on, our army was being
withdrawn from the vicinity of tho late
battle fields, and parched in the direction
of the upper Potomac. At night fall Gen.
Robertson drew off his foroe and followed
tho army. Early the next morning his
brigade crossed tho river at some
distanca below Leesburg. At or near the
same time, the division of Gen. Hill com
menced crossing at another point. Later
la the day, the voteran corps of General
Jackson reached , and at once pro
ceeded to pass over, and before night the
passage had been successfully effected.
Gen. Longstreet’scorps followed, and dur
ing tho night joined the other corps on
the opposite shore. Another divission is
said to have crossed at ——, several miles
higher up tho river.
The officer with whom wo conversed
informs us that no resistance to their
passage was at any time offered, and the
whole affair was acoomplished in the most
admirablo order, and without the firing
of a gun. The condition of the river
greatly favored the passage of our troops,
tho water being at a low stage, and easily
forded. The men were in the highest
spirits, and shout after shout went up as
regiment after regiment reached the Ma
ry land shore.— Rich. Dispatch, Tuesday
Vlie Uuetny'i Dosses in Ihe Date
Operations.
The enemy admit a loss, down to Fri
day night, of 17,000 men, I’opo officially
stating his loss on that day to have been
8,000. In ono of tho Baltimore papers
it is said that the entire Yankee loss,
including that of Saturday, is 32,000
men —killed, wounded, and prisoners.—
This statement allows 15,000 for the loss
on Saturday. That the loss of that
particular day was vastly greater than
tho enemy admit, wo take to be certain.
They are not the persons to overesti
mate their own losses, and, in the mean*
timo, Gen. Leo tells us that over 7,000
of them were taken and paroled on the
field. If they fought the battle with
anything like the desperation they pro
tend, considering that it lasted flvo
hours, they certainly had more than
8,000 killed and wounded. Tho letter
of Dr. Coolidge is conclusive upon this
point, lie says that four days after the
there were still three thousand wounded
Yankees, uncared for within the lines
of Gen. Lee. It is very certain, if they
were not cared for, it was becauso tho
number of wounded was so great that
their turn had not come. Our own
wounded, not exceeding, it is said, 3,000,
oonld very well be attended to in a day,
amd then the tarn of the Yankees would
oome. Yes, so numerous wers they, that
at the end of four days three thousand
of them had notreoelved surgical assis
tance. This indicates an enormoas list
of wounded, and oonflrms the report of
•ns officer, who pula dewn their killed
%t %00Q, sad their wounded at three
m.UMBUH, CM., FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER i £ i, 1862.
times that figure, making 20,000 killed
and wounded, and of others who say
that their killed and wounded were to
us in the proportion of five, six, and
seven to one. As many prisoners were
taken, who were not included in tho
7,C00 paroled men mentioned by Gen
eral Lee, wo do not think we make an
overestimate when wo set down the whole
Yankee loss at 30,000 in round numbers.
Their loss on Friday, estimated by Pope
himself at 8,000, added to their loss on
Saturday, makes 38,000. Previous ope
rations, including the battle of Cedar
Rnn, the several expeditions of Seigle
and the various skirmishes in whioh we
were almost uniformly victorious, we
should think, would fairly bring the
total less of the enemy—leaving out of
the account in the victory of A. P. Hill
on Sunday, of which wo havo not the
particulars—to 5,000 men, since our
forces crossed the Rapidan. This is a
result almost unequalled in the history
of modern campaigns. —Rich Dispatch.
Tlie Indian War In Minnesota—’X’lie
Ctilppewas Illslng—The Village of
New Ulm Burned—More Murders
—Proclamation of Gov. Kanigey.
The accounts from the frontier of Min
nesota show that an Indian war has been
inaugurated, which sinks into insignifi
cance all tho other Indian wars which
have occurred in this country for thirty
years. Tho Sioux Indians who began
tho war, it is now threatened, will be
joined by the Ohippewas. The latest
intelligence is contained in the following
dispatch:
St. Paul, Minn., Aig. 2G.—The latest
dates from Now Ulm state that on Satur
day night the villago was mostly burned
up.
An arrival from Crow Wing direct,
brings the intelligence that Hole in-the-
Day, tho great Chippewa chief, ha3 is
sued a proclamation that he would not
be responsible for tho conduct of the In
dians after Tuesday, and warning the'
whites to lcavo tho country before that
time. Ilole-in the Day had sent a mes
sage to Commissioner Dalo and Judge
Cooper to come and make a treaty.
The Chippewa agent, Walker, against
whom complaints havo been made by the
Chippcwas, it is reported, has committed
suicide in a lit of insanity. The Chippe
wa difficulty following so closely upon
the Sioux raid causes great alarm. Tho
northern part of the State is making
earnest applications fer military aid.
KDispatohes from Gen. Shibley, on the
25th, state that ho arrived at St. Paul
on the 22d, and has been actively engaged
in affording all possible aid to tho be
leaguered villages.
Major Fowler, with fifty mounted men,
made a reoonnoisance at Fort Ridgely,
on tho roulo of the previous day, and re
turned to St. Peters at three o'clock on
tho morning of tho 25th, bringing the
bodies of several women who had been
killed. Within twenty miles cf St.
Peters he reports that tho destruction of
property is beyond calculation.
Tho Indians attacked New Ulm on
Saturday. The fight oontinued until late
in the evening. Nothing has boon heard
from thoro sinco Gen. Shibley aßked for
a full regiment to bo at oneo sent up,
armed and oquipped. He thinks a larger
foroe will be needed before the Indians
are subdued, as they may have four or
five thousand warriors to meet sooner or
later.
Major Crans, of St. Cloud, writes to
the Governor that a committee of reliable
citioons appointed to visit the scene of
the recent murders, had just returned.
They went as far as Pineville, and found
that some two hundred persons had been
killed in the vicinity of that place and
Norway Lake.
s£.The Governor is receiving painful pe
titions for aid to protect the lives and
property in Stearns, Meeker and Monon
gahela counties. Many persons had
been driven from their homes, leaving
their crops but partially harvested.
Arrivals in this city from New Ulm
report, as usual, shocking scenes, too
horriblo to recount.
A. J. Voorhces writes as follows :
It is well known that dissatisfaction
has existed in the various tribes for some
weeks past, in oonsequence of the delay
of the Government in making tho annual
payment; but no one dreamed of a well
organized and systematically arranged
outbreak, embracing tribes which have
ever been hostile to each other. This
fact, in connection with oircumstances
which have come to my knowledge with
in the past few days, convince mo that
it is a part of the plan of the great rebell
ion.
Major Galbraith writes from Fort
Ridgely to the Governor:
All tho Sioux Indians are up in arms,
and indiscriminately murdering every
white person, and devastating the coun
try. We are here with about onß hun
dred and fifty efficient men, mostly un
drilled. We dare not leave this point
until reinforced. More than one hun
dred persons are known to be killed, and
we believe at least one thousand are.
Neither ago nor sex are spared.
The following is a list of tho killed and
wounded in Company 11, (17th Georgia)
commanded by Capt. W. Barden, former
ly of this city:
Killed —Corp’l John F. Davis.
Wounded—Corp’l J M Thornton, in
hand ; privates C 0 Layfield, in should
er; HC Layfield, in leg.
In closing his report, Captain Barden
says: I must mention the gallantry of
Color Corporal John F Davis, who fell
while in advance of his regiment.— Enq.
15til Alabama Iteglment.
Lieut. Brearo of this Regiment, passed
through our city on Thursday last, with
about 100 men. They go to fill the ranks
of this crack regiment, which has suffer
ed severely in the valley of Virginia.
They were a fine looking body of men,
and will, no doubt, add now lustre to the
laurels already won by this celebrated
Regiment.— Spirit of the South.
Illinois Invaded,
A correspondent of the Chicago Post
at Cairo telegraphs on the 25th instant,
that a band of guerrillas on Sunday night
crossed the Ohio river from Kentucky
into Illinois, four miles abovo Mound
City, upon a plundering and lynching ex
pedition. At the last accounts this gang
was still upon the soli of the State.
OUR RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE.
Richmond, Sept. Bth, 1802.
Dear Sun : Since I wrote you under
date of the sth, no details have been re
ceived of tho loss in tho recont engage
ments. Mr. Crocker, of the “Army In
telligence Office,” with passes from Gen.
Lee, has gone up to tho army with the
purpose of obtaining official information
of that charaoter, and on his return,
which is expected in a day or two, I hope
to be able to give a circumstantial state
ment of casualties in companies and reg
iments from your section of Georgia.—
Our victory, though overwhelming, is
dearly bought. Tho cherished idol of
many a household will return no more
to his wonted place around tho hearth
stone, having poured out his precious
blood a libation upon the altar of his
country, and yielded himself a willing
sacrifice at Death’s horrid carnival. Gen.
Lawton, writing to a member of Con
gress, says “my brigade is literally torn
into shreds,” and the like report is given
of the brigadoof Gen. Trimble, in which
is included tho 15th Ala. Regimont, Col.
Cantcy. Capt. Forrestor’s company, the
“Georgia Light Infantry,” of Columbus,
are in Qcn. Lawton’s brigade, and it is
presumed were in the fight. It is sin
cerely hoped that the gallant young men
who compose their rank and file have
survived the battle’s wreok and been
spared to eDjoy their already well-earned
laurels. I am informed that in one of
the recent engagements, Capt. F. com
manded tho regiment in tho unavoidable
absence of tho Colonel, and acquitted
himself handsomely. Tho brigade of
Gen. Toombs participated in tho whole
series of fights, and in connection with
Anderson’s brigade, Jonos’ division, they
forced the perilous passage of Thorough
fare Gap, either side bristling with bat
teries and other defenses. Gen. Toombs
being necessarily absent in the begin
ning, the brigade was carried into action
by Col. Banning, of tho 17th Oa., who
also led tho 20th Ga. in a ohargo on a
battery and captured it. Tho 18th Ga.,
Col. Mercer, in Hood’s Texas brigade,
and known by the soubriquet of the “3d
Texas,” were among the regiments of
that brigade who assisted in the annihi
lation of the vaunted New York and
Brooklyn Zouaves. The enemy, from
all accounts, entortain a wholcsomo dread
of tho Oeorgiang, Alabamians, and obher
moro Southern troops, notwithstanding
the partial statements of tho Virginia
press who have almost ignored the exis
tence of any but troops from their own
State.
Oao of tho most amusing occurrences
of Saturday’s engagement was tho cap
ture of fifty non-combatant citizens of
Washington, who, like Congressmen Ely
and his associates of last year, came
down from that city to enjoy from per
sonal observation the coup de grace which
Yankcedom generally confidently believed
tho new man Pope would give to tho “re
bellion.” They begged lustily to be
treated as prisoners of war or released,
buttheir inexorable captors berated them
soundly for their pusilanimity and cow,
ardico, and put them in “durance vile.’ 1
They should be held as hostages for the
good behavior of the enemy towards our
citizens in imprisonment.
Saturday night a bearer of dispatches
from Gon. Leo arrived hore, but the only
evidence so far of their purport is tho
departure on Sunday of President Davis
and Ex-Gov. Lowe, of Maryland, for the
seat of war. We are authorized to be
lieve that the policy of tho war has been
changed, and a war of invasion practi
cally inaugurated. The precise locality
of our army and Us movements are sup
pressed, and unknown to tho public ; but
it is understood to be without doubt that
70,000 men have already crossed the Po
tomac, and that the hour of down-trod
den Maryland’s deliverance from worse
than Austrian despotism is at hand.—
Woo be to the hirelings when tho people
of Maryland shall have the opportunity
to rally to tho standard of the Confede
racy.
Prisoners arrive here daily, and are
quartered with their friends on Bell Is
land or in the various prisons. There
are now upwards of 8,000 at the former
place, and now and then a number are
selected and sent down the river for ex
change under the cartel.
Among the Confederate prisoners res
turned to this city is B. H. Reiser, Eaq.,
of Tuakegee, Ala., whom I had the grat
ification to meet a few days since. You
will remember Mr. K. as editor and pub
lisher for many years in Alabama. In
the gallant 3d Ala. at the battle of Sev
en Pines he was wounded with his only
son, A. Sidney, and both taken prisoners
by tho enemy and sent to Mill Creek hos
pital, near Fortress Monroe. The latter
died, and as you are aware, was taken
by his father to Norfolk for burial, where
he was accompanied by the Rev. Mr.
Mendenhall, who wrote tho obituary you
havo just published. Mr. Reiser states
that the part relating to tho sympathetic
demonstrations of the ladies and others
of that oity is true, but the following is
a deliberate falsehood:
Notwithstanding the solemnity of the occa
sion, and the fact that our Government was
generously allowing them the privilege of
having possession of the body for interment,
these Norfolk Rebels did not fail to spit out
their venom, and otherwise express their ha
tred cf the Union. Yet there was no distur
bance, and they were allowed peaceably to
bury their dead. I could not help thinking of
tho indignities oflered tho remains of Lieut.
I'eKay at New Orleans, when our soldiers
were bearing him to his long home.
Tho Yankees rnado many overtures,
{NO. 38.
which were contemptuously spurned.—
He came up to Aikon’s Landing under a
flag of truce, having been exchanged, and
his appearance hero was as that of one
from the dead, many (I among them)
having confounded him with his deceased
son. He has returned home on furlough.
Mr. K. has suffered much in the common
cause, and deserves well of his country.
Another Confederate prisoner, Mr.
Chas. H. Dougherty, son of Judge Robert
Dougherty, of Tuskegee, died in the same
Hospital, on the 15th of August, of
wounds received in the same battle.
Mr. Reiser nursed him in his confinement,
and soothed his dying pillow. His last
words to him were : “Tell my mother I
put my trust in Jesus Christ for my sal.
vation. Carry my Testament homo with
you and give it to her.”
Your readers arc doubtless interested
to know tho action of Congress relative
to the increase of the army. A bill has
already passed tho Senate, subjecting to
military duty all betwocn tho ages of 35
and 45, and is now engrossing the atten
tion of tho House. Tho solo difference
of opinion is as to tho mode of effecting
the increase, some favoring its accomp
lishment through tho agoncy of the Gov
ernors es the States, the majority favor
ing the mothod of Conscription as the
speediest and the one demanded by the
exigency.
Tho massing of tho new lovies of Lin
coln for another irruption upon our soil
has hastened the aotiou of Congress and
very opportunely. Tho new bill is more
stringent than the first, and tho list of
“exempts,” grows “small by degress
and beautifully less” at each amend
ment offored. Tho privilege of obtain
ing substitutes is restricted to a small
class—thoso who are skilled in somo
handicralt useful to the government, at
this time. It is believed that wo havo
more than a sufficiency of swords for in
stance, and that many of suoh establish
ments will bo doplotod, and thoir employ
ees made to wield tho weapon they have
so skillfully forged.
Your excellent immediate representa
tive, Hon. Hines Holt, continues in good
hoalth, though looking a little jaded
occasionally, from press of business.
He appoars daily in his soat and ranks
among tho best and most influential mem
bers of tho House. When not engaged
with his duties on committoes, he is oc
cupied in representing personally the
private intorests of his constituents, who,
from tho humblest to tho highest, are the
recipients of the same courteous and us
siduous attention. A seat among the
“assembled wisdom” of the couutry may
bo very desirable, but occular evidence
convinces mo that Hie position of a faith
ful representative, is by no tncunß a sine
cure.
I have also tho pleasure of congratu
lating the voluntoors from Columbus and
Georgia, generally, on the presence hero
of Dr. S. A. Billing, who'is constantly
occupied iu giving the sick and wounded
the benefit of his professional attention.
Ilia services are invaluable, and the
heartfelt gratitude of many a poor sol
dier disabled by a wound, or languishing
on beds of sickness, is his best and high
est reward. Tho Medical Department of
tho army is pronounced in high quarters
to be a stupendous humbug and impos
ture, and many valuable lives have been
sacrificed to their stupidity or native
brutishness. The service of Dr. Billing
and his coadjutors have contributed very
much to mitigate these abuses.

ports that our army, with the exception
ot Hill’s division, had crossed into Mary
land, and that Jaokeon was understood
to have penetrated as far as tho “Relay

to be 70,000, as I have already mentioned.
Not more than half our army were en

do not vouch for the authenticity of
