After firing sufficiently to produco a decided
effect on the Yankeo batteries. Gen. Stuart
ordered “advance the artillery by sections
from the right," which is simply charging with
artillory. Gen. Lee had determined upon this
at Fredericksburg, but-Gen. Buniside’s modes-
• ty did not-allow him a chance to execute.
Make a note of it, that hereafter our batteries
charge as well as our infantry.
Wo ran up close enough to throw, canister
into thoir batteries, and Gen. Anderson on the
south, - and Gen. McLaws on the southeast,
pressing them very hard, the artillery on our
side having driven the Yankeo batteries off on
the United States Ford and plank roads to the
northeast, had to cease firing to avoid killing
our own'men. At one time Rhodes’ old brigs
ade, not being supported, had to fall back, and
the Yankees being driven back at tho same
filho from Anderson’s front, the two brigades
retreated right through each other, every man
boiug compelled to take care ot himself as be
wits subjected to a fire from friend and foe.
One Ljoutenant of tho Clb Alabama had to run

THE NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA RAID.
The Rockingham Register publishes an ac
count ol the recent visit oDGen. Jones’ com*
m&nd to the Northwest, furnished by a Parti-
zaa Ranger of Copt McNeill’s company, who
took part in it.- We make some extracts,
which shoty that in its material results this
daring raid far surpassed the flight of Stone-
man’s cavalry through the’ counties above
Richmond:
introductory exploits.
The whole command swam the river at
Morefleld, passed on to Greenland, storming,
taking and burning that fort. The forces un
der Gen. Jones divided at Greenland, General
Jones and the larger part of the forces going
to Rowlesburg, Tucker county, and the bal
ance, under Oof. Harman (Oapt. KcNeill’s Yan
kee “ train-takers ”, included,) going to Oak
land. Our forces charged on Oakland, down
tho turnpiko, and in rear of town, the charge
down the pike being led by one of the guides,
private Daily, a gallaqt boy attached to Capt.
McNeill’s company. The charge in rear of
town was led by Oapt. McNeill' in person.
Your readers may well imagine the panic caus
ed by this sudden and violent intrusion into
tho quiet village of Oakland by these moun
tain “dare-devils" "with “horns!" Tho
good Union peoplo thought old Nick was
amoDg them sure enough. The Union shriek -
ers ran and hid; the Yankeo women scowled
and shook their broom sticks and threatened
vengeance. The "splendid bridge at Oakland
was burned, and a train of cars, with engine
attached, was sent into the river after the burn
ing bridgo.
A fine set of telegraphic instruments was
“confiscated” and brought out from there by
private Westmoreland, a patriotic Marylander,
formerly a Captain in the Yankee service I
From . Oakland we passed Cranberry Sum
mit, where we had a sharp Are of ten minutes,
which resulted in the capture of all the Home
Guards at that place. One of McNeill’s men,
McCarty, had his horse shot under him, the
only damage we suffered. Oar men were bush
whacked all the way through, without anybody
being “ hurt” on our side.
From Cranberry Summit we went to Kings-
wood, which we took without resistance, get
ting nothing here but a few good horses.
ARRIVAL AT MORGANTOWN.
From thence we moved to Morgantown,
which I think is the meanest place in Virginia.
Here we captured some horses, several Union
dags, and destroyed about 100 stand of Yan
kee arms. Private "Westmoreland here climbed
to tho top of the steeplo on the C. H., tore
down the Unton flag with the stars and stripes,
and nailed fast the Confederate flag, which
floated from that place fot the first time since
the war commenced. The command encamped
about seven miles from Morgantown that night
with Major' Brown, of-the Md. Battalion, on
picket, an attempt being made on ono of his
posts by some Yankee bushwackers, whom he
captured and “tfent up the.spout,” as they
probably deserved. Private Westmoreland,“
in charge of three men, here captured two
gentleman bushwaciters, who wero “ four-
loughcd ” for ninety days, with the under
standing that if old Harry gets them, there
will be no questions asked.
The command here-united with General
Jones’ command and returned to Morgantown,
when the-Abolitionists wero worse surprised
than ever they had been when the Confederates
first opened their eyes to the fact that “ the
d—d rebels” were in the neighborhood.
CAPTURE OP HILBOY’s “ SWEETHEART.”
At Morgantown wo captured Gen. Milroy’s
“ sweatheart,” (not his wife, for I behove be
has a white woman who sustains that relation
to him) a thick-lipped, long-heeled black
wench, which that refined and polished gen
tleman had “ seduced ” (not stolen) from Lt
Welton, of Hardy, a member of Capt. McN’s
company. LL >V. had himself tho pleasure to
capture her ladyship, the General’s “ sweets
heart,” and carried her back from New to
“ Old Virginia.” So the poor privates in Mc<
Neill’s company wero honored with permis
sion to escort the gallant Gen. Milroy’s “ se
cond choice ” to her old-home.
VISIT TO FAIRMONT.
They staid here all day, and bad a bard night’s
march to Fairmont, Marion Co., twenty-seven or
twentjieight miles distant,which place they reach
ed about S o’clock in the morning.. The only
really stout resistance encountered bn tho trip
was here met with. We were skirmishing with
the enemy aU day. The enemy brought a piece
of artillery up on the train at three o’clock, which
our sharpshooters made them carry back in double
quick by steam. We took Fairmount, of course,
capturing over two hundred Vo. Yankees, the
meanest sort of Yankees. Our informant thinks
that Fairmont is decidedly in a worse condition
than Sodom and Gomorrah', as not oae good South
ern man could be found in the place. We cap
tured here all the arms and equipments of the en
emy, comprising a good many ofguns,army stores,
munitions of war, such as powder, lead, &c., Ac.,
burnt two bridges, one a "splendid structure, which
cannot be replaced in less than two or three
months, nor at a less cost than half a million dol
lars.
We then passed down through a little
name unknown, which had suffered terriblj
hands of the Abolition vandals, because the i
itants had been loyal to Virginia and the South.—
The burnthouses, fences,.Ac., made a sad scene of
desolation generally..
FURTHER ADVENTURES.
The command traveled ou the turnpike in the
direction of |Clarksburg, and.was bashwhacked
at intervals all day long.
We left Clarksburg four miles to the right. The
enemy’s mounted infantry here attacked us, when
the dropping of calicoes, &c., “confiscated” by our
boys, presented a ludicrous eight. We passrd on,
attacked Bridgeport, and captured 47 prisoners.
One fiond, in the shape of a man who bad been ta
ken prisoner, shot his captor, a Marylander at
tached to the Maryland battalion. He, of course,
had to “go to the spout” at once, and without cere
mony or the benefit of clergy. Wo captured, a
train of cars at Bridgeport laden with bacon, oats
and other Government stores which we “sent to
to the rear” for the benefit of the Southern Con
federacy. We here burnt three bridges; and
were in the neighborhood of Imboden’s pickets.
We marched from there to PhiUippij where wo
left Gen. Jones’ command. '
We here took charge of cattle, horses, and pris
oners, (including the notorious Capt. Snyder’s eon,
an acknowledged spy, taken at Beverly.) He was
a mere youth in years, but hardened villain, and an
accomplished “spy," young as he was
TUNNELING THE ALPS—A RAILROAD! DEMOCRATIC MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK.
OVER TEE SIMPLON. P0K “PEACE AND REUNION.”
[Correspondence the Nrfw York World.] Two representative l of the Democratic party
Turin, Italy, March 30th, 18 C3.
The great engineering enterprise of tunnel
ing the Alps has been some fivo years in pro
gress, and the distance penetrated, including
Uie operations on both sides, is only about one
mile, leaving eleven more to be bored 1 But
the calculations of Mr. Fell, the English en
gineer who has had this Alpine work in charge,
are that, although ho has accomplished But
one mile in five years, he will be able by his
improved machinery, to completo the remain
ing distance of eleven miles in ten years. The
engines are worked by compressed air, and
there is no offensive smell or danger of Suffo
cation. The two rows of iron pipes through
which tho air is forced are seen for some dis
tance by the road on the Savoy sido of the
Alps. Another project-for crossing tho Alpa
over the Simplon has just boon submitted to
the Emperor of the French. M. Lohaitrie ex
hibited a model last week in the Diana Gallery
of the Tuilleries of his great project, showing
all the grades and cuts and tunnels and gal-
laries of the route. The whole lino of this
railroad over the mountains from'Douro d’Os-
sola, in Italy, to Brigucs, in tho Valais, was
introduced to the Tuilleries reduced to a scale
of two thousand feet. -The survey of this
great work was commenced on the 1st of Au
gust last, and completed on the 7th.
About forty agents, divided into two brig
ades, one turning to the north and the other
to the south of the Alps, under "the leadership
of two engineers, have during .the four months
explored the mountain, and traced the plan of
the future railway, which is to pass over rocks,
cross torrents, fiil up tho valleys, gorges and
precipices, before which science does not hesi
tatc. The stimulus of having a great work to
accomplish has alone sustained the picked men
to whom the task was confided. They set up
shelters and encampments in woods hitherto
unexplored, carrying on their backs beds,
clothing and provisions, ps they had often to
live two or three leagues from any dwelling.
Ic was frequently necessary to lower by ropes
down tho precipices the men who had to pre
pare the plans amid empty space, and the
snow aid avalanches more than once threat
ened to stop them summarily in their wotk.—
The result has b'oen to put before jthe Emperor
eighty kilometets of- iron way in the Holvetic
Alps, forty-four of which will be covered over,
twenty-three in tunnels and twenty ono in
galleries."
All these passages are ventilated either by shafts
for the tunnels or lateral openings for the gal
leries. These openings, cut at different points
into arcades, have a startling appearance.—
They are veritable promenades a thousand me
tres above the sea, offering the same security as
those of the Rue de Rivoli,which they resemble,but
presenting a more picturesque and varid panorama.
The execution of the plan, according to the au
thors, would occupy less than five years. At tho
end of this mouth the complete project of crossing
the Alps by the Simplon will be officially submit
ted to the governments of France,"Italy, and Swit
zerland. 'The estimated cost of this great project
including the fixed and rolling material, the inter
est of the capital employed, etc., is seventy million
francs.
And thus, while the Skill and the capital of Ame
rica are tasked and taxed to their utmost in the
invention and use of implements and engines of
human destruction, the science Rud the wealth of
Europe are more wisely applied to promote pleas
ant intercouse of the nations and tho general wel
fare of mankind.

from each of the thirt r-two Senatorial districts
of the State of New York have published a call
for a “ mass State Convention for Peace and
Reunion” — the meeting to beheld in Now
York city 3d of Jut o. Tho following is an
extract:
“Assuming the AIministration desires to
restore tho Union, it cannot be accomplished
by mere brute force. Nor do we believe the
past justifies a continuation of such a policy
until peaceful reined ea have boen attempted
and exhausted. As yet they have never been
attempted. "Withou farther referring to the
cause, the fact of our failure is thus far conced
ed. " However great the resources that have
been placed to the on dit of the Administration,
and however self-sa rificing and patriotic the
noble armies that ha -o been dissipated and de
stroyed, inexorable b story has recorded failure
after failure, as humiliating to our sectional
pride and honor as it is destructive to all our
great material interes ts.”
. “In view of these results, after more than
two years continued and unceasing military
conflict; we are for taking one step on the road
of peaceful effort Wo are now for a vigorous
prosecution of peaco. And whilst we would
submit to no nations dismemberment, and no
terms not justified b’ every principle of honor,
wo will go very far i i the spirit of .conciliation
and concession to restore the Union as it was
under tho Constituti.in as it is. We believe
theso are the prevail ng sentiments of the mas
ses. Wo know the public voice demands a
change of measures and of men, and we are
determined to have luch change as soon as.it
can be effected by constitutional means.”

Under the dgviiisl orders of General Banks,
who is rapidly becoming a worthy successor
of the Brute Butler, a large number of loyal
Confederates in the city of New Orleans, known
tf) the United States authorities as “ registered
enemies,” have been ordered to leave their
homes and have passed into the Confederate
lines. The greater part, numbering, it is said,
several thousand, .tave taken the route by
Madisonville, intending to pass up the Jack-
son road, not aware at'the time that Jackson
was in Yankee h&ndi. Some families of them
are at Pascagoula, where they aro detained for
the want of conve^mce to get away. We
learn that an ineffectual attempt was made by
some of their Iriuifd i here to induce the pro
prietors of livery stables to send carriages anfl
wagons for this purpose. The General com
manding has been applied to to dispatch some
of the Government transportation to their as
sistance, and we bclirvo it has been done.
-Theseloyal poople,have been great sufferers
in the. cause, and aro now rendered LomeleA
by.their loyalty "ant- devotion. They are en
titled to the warm and active sympathy ot our
people. They wore hurried out of the city, and
obliged to leave all their property behind, not
even permitted fo sell their household goods
Treatment or Confederate Prisoners.—Major
Charlton H. Morgan, who has just returned from
captivity at the North,having been taken from the
enemy at Lexington and recently exchanged, con
firms the brutal treatment of rebel prisoners at the
North, as related by others and heretofore pub
lished. He ou account of his fraternal relation to
Gen. John H. Morgan, was subjected to special in
dignities. At camp Chase the prisoners were
stripped to the waist in the presence of women and
children and robbed of their clothmg and money.
In passing Philadelphia the prisoners were attacked
by a mob, the boys throwing sand and stones at
them and the women making the most indelicate
and insulting demonstrations. At Fort Delaware,
where they were confined for 8 short time, they
were put in filthy pens and received two meals a
day,the first consisting of crackers and the brackish
water of the Delaware, which made half of them
sick.. The second meal consisted of crackers and
tainted meat, cooked with garlic to disguise its.
putridity. On the way to Camp Chase the most
insulting treatment received was from the East
Tennessee renegade soldiery.

GEN. MEAGHER AND THE IRISH.
In a letter to Maj. Gen. Hanoock, (which wo find
printed in the Baltimore American,) Goner&l
Meagher has resigned his commisaiM, upon the uuonucoor m tbs uc.,',' -
ground that his command is reduced, to a mere ! dawn. When it comes to ul with loved
handful; and that hq cannot recruit liis brigade. ' vre feel thst-'ho lingering, loot i«shur„iK.. t f *ti
01 course, he professes an undying devotion to tho
cause of the Union, and a desire to serve it in any
position in which he »iay bo placed. This fact,
taken in connection with the late lecture of Rich
ard O’Gormon, of which he spoke some days since,
proves to us what we had believed before, that the
Irish citizens of the Federal States aro entirely
sick of the war. The statements lately made of
large masses of Irish immigrants tempted over for
the purpose of enlistment, must, therefore, have
been immensely exaggerated. "We have suspected
so; and now record the.agreeable news with much
gratification, for three reasons: First, that the
Irish were the best troops in the Yankee armies ;
second, that a check has been put upon the cruel
imposture put upon that credulous people, name
ly : that to fight for the Union was to fight against
the interests of Eugland; third, that our own
faithful Irish citizens of the Confederacy, fighting
in our armies, will no longer be stung by the bilter
thought as they move into “no of battle—that in
defence of tbeir home and their adopted States,
they will no longer have to slaughter such multi
tudes of their own misguided kindren.
At the first battle of Fredericksburg, Meagher
leil the desperate charges of his brigade upon
Marye’s heights ; and the deluded Irish soldiery
displayed a valor which did no discredit to their
nation and thoir ancestry. But they havo enough
of it. They begin to suspect that the repeal of
ono Union in Europe is not likely to bo attained
by forcing another Union in America. The widows
and the orphans of their people will long mourn by
their desolate hearths this cruel and accursed mis
take.—Richmond Examiner..

Tits Importation of Liquob.—4 correspondent
of the Charleston Courier says:
During the past week there was advertised and
gold in Charleston by three respectable firms, as a
portion of cargoes rnnning the blockade, 785
packages, consisting of cases, barrels, pipes and
hogsheads of whisky, brandy, gin, Ac., the profits
of which may be estimated from the fact that a
barrel of whisky may cost in Cincinnati$8 to $10;
in N'nseau, after a chemical change to represent
foreign liquors, $15 to $80; and will bring in
Charleston from $1200 to $2000.
It is etsy to foresee the effect on prices which
would be made by the importation of 784 pack
ages of shoes* and clothing every few weeks, in
the place of the same number of Uquor packages.
Many of our eoMiers and their families at home
would have shoes and clothing within.their/each,
who may otherwise go barefooted and in rsge.

being*worked as of old than being treated as
they now are. In case of a U- itederate attack
on the city the Fedcrals would receive no
aid from them.
The force in the city when our informant
left was small—some three or four thousand.
Two war ships were at the landing. A vigor
ous attack would easily secure th - city to the
Confederacy at once.—Jackson Appeal.
Clerical.—Rev. A. W. Miller has retired
from the pastorship of the Tabb street Pres
byterian Church, in Petersburg, Va., and his
.congregation, in token of his usefulness during
his ministry there, havo presented him with a
purse of $6,000. Rev. W. J. Hoge has been
called to fill his place. t
Resigned.—Brig. Gen. Davis has resigned.
His resignation having been accepted by tho
President, the Knoxville Register says “ the
7th Florida brigade, and the command of this
sub-department, have been turned Over to Col.
Finley.”
the clothes they woro and ten days’ rations.
Tho principal object of their banishment is to
leave their property to bo stolen and occupied
by the Yankee invadurs. How long will a just
God permit these hellish wrongs to endure and
go unpunished f A fearful reckoning must be
in Btore-for them with the abused and outraged
people of tho Confederate States. We trust
that Gen. Johnston and the brave men of his
army -may bo the appointed ministers of a ju3t
vengeance for the crimes of these monsters
against the laws of war and the rights of
humanity. It is said that among the banished
axe ono thousand young m?n who have gone
to Pontchatoula for the purpose of joining the
Confederate armies.
Mobile Register.
To bk Hung.—Two of the Yankee officers
now in tho Libby prison are shortly to .be
hanged, in retaliation for the murder by order
of Burnside of a recruiting" Confederate Cap
tain and Lieutenant, arrested by his order in
Tennessco and ignominiously murdered under
his recent “ Death Order.” The Yankeo offi
cers of thei grade of Captain and Lioutenanf are
to draw lots for tho purpose of determining who
shall suffer in their stead. This news which
must prove disagreeable to tho officers of the
grades mentioned, has been communicated to
them. It may delay tho departure by flag of
truce of the others, some 250 in number. The
Yankeo boat came to City Point on Sunday,
but left without waiting for any prisoners'. It
is, however, probable that most of the Yankee
prisoners will be sent home before the end of
this week.—Rich. Dispatch.

SCENES ON THE RAPPAHANNOCK.
Fuedirickjbdro, May 17,1163.
How different tho scene on the banks of the Rap-
pahannock, to-day and this day two weeks ago.—
Then the clash of arms resounded up and down it*
length for many miles, and the cries of the wonnded
and the wails of (lying, mingled with the hoarse ar
tillery and the deafening musketry, to make up the
panorama of living war. To-day all seeme daiet,
tho soldiers rest content on their well-earned lau
rels, chaplains, holy men of God, are holding up in
many a camp the word of divine truth, and the sol
dier of earth is bidden to prepare for the life that is
to come.
YANKEE LOSSES.
I have seen a great many statements of the ene
my’s losses, made up from conjectural estimates.—
It will, I suppose, hardly be believed when I tell
your readers that I have it as coming from a General
officer of the Potomac army, of course by indirect
means, that the enemy’s loss in killed, wounded,
prisoners and deserters will be every man of forty
thousand.
- TWO YEANS AND NINE MONTHS MIN.
On Wednesday of last week five transports, sup-
posed.to contain at least six thousand men in all,
left Aquia creek for Washington. These were some
of the men whose terms oi enlistment had expired.
DEMONSTRATION IN FRONT.
Our neighbors across the river keep up wonder
ful appearances, much after the style of a school
boy whistling as he walks through a grave yard to
keep up his spirits. Their bands are now brought
near to town m front, but just behind the hills, and
“Hail Columbia,” "Dixie” and "Yankeo Doodle”
are played, “not by request." The enemy have also
been busily engaged in strengthening their works
hearing on the town, and have brought a number of
field pieces to the Falmouth ford, so as to command
the ford at that point.
HOOKER’S WOUND.
By the same channel through which comes the in
formation as to the enemy’s loss, we have tho ad
ditional news that Hooker was very much injured at
Chanceilorsville. So much so that he has not left
his headquarters since the fight, or rather had not
up to Monday.
— The Herald has an editorial on “ The general
oanpaign—the splendid fighting qualities of our
armies, and their cheering prospect*.” It says from
Gen. Hooker's congratulatory (J) order to his army,
we are assured that it retired from the Bouth side of
the Rappahannock for reasons ’’ which could not be
forseen or prevented by human sagacity,” and that
“ profoundly loyal and conscious of its strength, the
Army of the Potomao will give or decline battle
whenever its interests or honor may deman d.’
Frqm all our other sources of in formation this testi
mony of the splendid condition of this heroic army
is confirmed. The general results of the late battle
being greatly in its favor, it does not recognize a
defeat; but, confident of its capabilities to crush
the enemy in a general engagement, it is not only
ready, but eager for another advance.
. The Herald goes on to say the rebels will be oom
polled to maintain a considerable stationary force
at Richmond to gnard against a Yankee surprise.
Yankee cavalry is to be increased and raids more
numerous. **
Mayol Collart introduced Gen. Forrest to the
multitude, and Col. J. J. Donegan made the presen
tation speech, both expressing themselves in most
appropriate and fueling terms. Gen. F. responded
in a manuer that proved his ability to speak to the
point, as well as tight. Rev- Dr. Kelly in-response
to a call, made an elegant eulogy on Gen. Forrest,
and an earnest appeal to all who conld bear arms,
to take them up in defense of their country.
This called out Geu. Forrest again. He core testi
mony to Dr., onoe Lieut. CoL Kelly's gallantry,
which, he said, entitled him to the rank of Briga
dier, if his health should permit of his returning to
the army, enforced Dr. Kelly’s appeal for more pa
triotic defenders of our country, and concluded by
asking the prayers of the ladies and all good citi
zens, for God's blessing upon 'him, and our cause,
without which all our efforts for independence
would be vain.—Huntsville Confederate.
Mrs. Gen. Bragg.—This lady is at present
with the family, of the Hon. John Bragg, in
Lowndes county of this State, and we are glad
to bo informed is rapidly recovering from her
late distressing and protracted illness. As she
is cut offby the enemy from all means of com
munication with her friends and relatives' in
Louisiana, and as the report oi her death may
have reached there, we publish this paragraph
in the hope that they may chance to receive
the gratifying intelligence of her convalescence.
Confederate papers in the West will bo good
enough to repeat it.—Mobile Register.
—The Yankee War Department has ordered that
no extracts from rebel papeis which contain news
unfavorable to the Union cause shall be telegraphed
from Washington.
