Another rumor, ul - < authentic, is that our uJvancj troops are already opening a narrow pass near the PutowAC, a tew mi e? below Lees burg. At this place the Potuinac i t<>rdaUe, but tho pa*? leading to it is through a uarrow defile iu the mountain. This, our troop* are widening, heiug ; uppjied with aves and other neessary implement?. This looks like the open ing of the programme already announced to your readers. Uon Magruder's offering battle for thres days within a mile and a half of Newpcrt Nows, before ho burned Hampton, looks like the programme a'st ; and finally, Gen. Lee’s bold movement? and heavy reinforcements in Northwestern Virginia, give additional confirm ation of what 1 have already advised your leaders of,as the impending movements of our conquering armies. Co-operation, prompt and tiScient, on the part .*f our patriotic citizens throughout tho Confederation is all that ia now needed, w ith Providence Moiling upon our people ..nd our cause, to carry out this programme certainly a* far ?

Ripi.f.vv—We venture now, w ith increased confidence, says the Char leston Courier aCthe 16th, to report what should have been confirmed when first announced, the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel It. S. Ripley to the rank and command of a Brigadier Gene ral of the Provisional Confederate Army. With the cause* that have produced the de lay and apparent hesitation in this appointment, we need not have anything to do. We can -peak with confidence iu behalf of our commu nity, and especially all those who have been most intimately acquainted with his merits and qualifications, in stating that no appointment could give greater satisfaction, or be received with nypre cordial approval. Special to thq Columbus Time . RICHMOND CORRESPONDENCE. Ricumoku, Aug. Iff. C.mgre was called to order this morning at the u.-ual hour, Vice President Stephens iu the chair. After prayer and tho reading of yester day’s proceeding:!, the • ret o- 1 ion were re sumed. We have nothing to day from the army of the Potomac, beyond what we already know in re gard to the advance movements toward? the Potomac. That acr sing iu the vicinity of Edwards Ferry uear Leesburg, i? contemplated at the proper time there cannot be much doubt.— • It is now very probable that a similar movement will be attempted on the lower Potomac, having iu view Maryland co-operation. These move ment? may account for the prudent delay in the I >rward movements of the army at Manassas. — The recent action of the Maryland Legislature, immediately before its adjournment, renders this more than probable, inasmuch as it will be im possible ft keep down the spirit of liberty much longer in that Mate. In a month from now Maryland patriot* must either constitute an ar my of liberation or bo incarcerated in Northern prison? and fort The action of the Maryland Legislature alluded to. was rod officially in the line of legislative LuAiu •, but it will have the same sanction of the people. It a meeting of the member? of both branch oppos ed to the Lincoln war It provides for a State Convention to be held on the 10th day f Sep tember next at the city of U tltimore, to nominate candidate* for Governor and other State officers, and take into consideration such other matters may come before it, touching the welfare and dignity of the State. Vou may assure your readers that Maryland hold? a prominent part in the grand movements now in preparation. Gen. Magrnder is preparing some sudden Lul important movement, one that may have equal bearing upon the results of the war with the vic tory of Mana? ; a?. 1 have already given to your readers the most reliable information T cooldob tain on this subject. The more I can gather from such officer? u? come up to Richmond occasionally from York - j town, the more I am n atisGedol the accuracy ot | the information already communicated to your readers respecting Fortros* Monroe. Gen. Lee, from latent account.-, i also push ing ou hi* North-Western defenses, and there is no doubt that this distinguished General, in hi? slow, but well guarded movement onward, lias an vve to aggressive a well as defensive measure*. Wo have quite a number of old fogy Solon? in Richmond. Some to the manor born -some from other sections of the State somo in Congress and all menders of the Virginia State Conven tion. I have watched the course of these wise and cautious patriots since the very firit meet ing of the Convention, in which the ordinance of eceaaioo was passed, and on their heads may be visited the evils and difficulties which have em barrassed ami defied our arms since the posse* - sion of Fortress Monroe by the enemy. Had these men kept even with the spirit of the South. had they properly appreciated the dangers that menaced us iu the election of Lincoln, tbeir convention* would never have responded to the eloquent appeal? of the Hon. Mr. Momminger* when he represented South Carolina before that body, by a cold preamble and soulless resolu tion? intimating that Virginia would take care of her own interests. Had tbe?e Btiuil movers been permitted to have tbeir own way, I ver.ly believe the ordinance of secession would be yet unpassed, and we might now be in the same pre dicament with our sister State of Maryland. Hut I may be asked, as these union men always commanded a majority in the State Convention, why did they pa.?* the ordinance at allßecause they feared for their bead?. A universal bout of indignant patriotism cattjc up from the moun tains and valleys of old Virginia, and they well knew the people would soon do what they would be willing to leave undone. These men, I be lieve, at lea?f, several of them, still cling to the delusive hope of re-union, and would bi-morrow, counsel overtures to that end. I Judge so from the seal with which some of them vindicated the North-Western traitor? when up for expulsion I,afore tho last Convention of the State. But in Congress they can and > no harm, and when our separation from Yankeedom i? eternal, they may divert thi a. i’ •- of tfeiold slough of Federalism and look only to the rnture of their new Repub lic. The tardiness of this Convention, controlled < hietly by these men of cautious counsel, and old notions, lost for us Fortress Monroe, and thus de prived us of a mean? of defence and aggression’ which it may cost tbousan 1 “f live? and millions treasure to recover. The a a tiers r? by yesterday's rail road accident were last evening brought to the city. As I sta ted in yesterday's letter one was killed and twen ty two seriously wounded. The are all well car ed for. Hew seldom do we hear of such accidents in England: the reason, a? well a° the remedy against their occurrence it that at every mile or so of the road, they always keep men to signal ize to approaching train? any sudden or unex pected danger. Prince Napoleon ha returned to Washington w.thout visiting Richmond. Let hun slide. The Northern pres? is speaking in bold and fearless words to tho Washington tyrant?. I mean of course, such of them as sec into this unholy war, the cause that has disrupted the great National Democratic party never again to be reunited within the same geographic limit*. Lincoln’s mercenaries in New York already threaten the offices with destruction and the Editors with a neither the torch nor the halter ha* ever yet made slave* of freemen. I regret to say that a communication iu the Times of the Bth inst, signed “one of the people” excited a feeling of goneral Indignation in the Hall of Congress this morning. The general r opinion I heard expressed by many of the old 1 members was that the article must have proceed ed from personal hostility or disappointed anibi r tion. I listened to tho commeut* without having road the article, for, owing to gross neglect at our city Post office papers ure not regularly deliv ’ red -nor can lox poet even letters. 1 borrowed a paper, however, and found that the article was ’ both severe and personal. The distinguished gentlemen named in the communication will no doubt feel amused at the criticism? of “One of the people” when they relied that their untiring devotion to the interest of the Confederacy, their invaluable aid in the council? of the Ex ecutlve and the deliberaii. il? if the Legislature, and, finally their voluntary tender of their , i vices in the field of battle where cowardly selfish ness never obtrudes its presence, have already received the plaudits anil gratitude of the entire ! Confederacy “one of tho people” only c.xecpteJ. i It would be much hotter, 1 rc-peetfully suggest, inasmuch a ; we have cut loose forever from our late Northern a . ociales. not to imitate them in their now mo*t prevalent \ ice uamely, quarrel ling among themsclve - like ?. many Otaheite oann.hals. mu rus. lUbsm Hn-lion.

Ramsey. l’or the past week or ten days a variety of ru mors has been afloat in this city to the effect that the above gentleman has been under military ar rest in North-Western \ irgiuia for disobedience of orders. The first authentic statement of the clause of this proceeding we find iu the following extract from a lotter to the Southern ConfeJcraei/ at Atlanta, written at Monterey, Ya., Aug. 9ih. This statement but confirms the conviction which Col. Ilamsey’s friends everywhere entertained that, when the truth was known, it would cast no shadow upon his gallantry as an officer or his hon<-r as a man: In consequence of tho exposure ami hardships that the army stationed here underwent iu tbeir retreat from Rich Mountain and 1. ibrel Hill, there is much sickness in camp. Os Gen. Jackson’* whole command of 4,500 men, on an average, two die daily. The felt destroyer which is burling so many of our troops into eternity is typhoid fever. Our regiment has not suffered so much from the effects of the retreat us have some of the V irginia regiments, notwithstanding the former bore the whole burden of tho lir-t. buitlu on Cheat river, at w hich seven companies belonging there to were cut off, who had to tuako their way through tho mountains to this place, a distance of 100 miles —traveling live night? and four day.- without anything to cat; and a portion ot’ it also took part in the second engagement, and had to walk nearly tho whole distance, having It. t all our wagons, while tho latter had conveyances enough to carry all of their •i< !. and many ol their tired men. Thi? difference, no doubt, t attributable to Colonel Ramsey’* kindness; who upon arriving here, instead of marching iii? men into oatnp and keeping them there, a? did the Virginia Col onels, gave to those of bis men who were very sick furloughs of thirty days, and to the others, furloughs of ten days, that they might go iuto the country, where they could find a shelter from the heavy dews and pelting storms, which arc ol frequent occurrence iu this mountainous country, j o rest and recruit their health. Taking into consideration that we have had no ten) , blankets, or cooking utensils, while it wu? not in strict accordance with military dis cipline for our Colonel to disband bis regiment lor a few days, yet 1 consider that it wu i kind and wise act in him, us the present state of the ! health of his nun conclusively prove; yet for | this act he haa been arrested, and, if there ia- ! no other charge against him than that of dis banding his regiment -and I kuow of no other ! •-I'm of opinion that when a court martial shall j have investigated his case, and .--’ball have found out the motives which prompted him to tin; ac j tion, he will at once be released, when he again . will resurao the command of hi.? regiment, which I since hi? arrest, and in theabsenco of Lieutenant I Col.

There were three blockading vessel* in sight—two steamer* > and a :?ail yn.stel.--Charleston Mercury, I >. *j Prince Napoleon. A gentleman who witnessed the review ol ( onfcdiTate troops near Cent rev tile, on the oc casion of l'rinec Napoleon’s visit, describes it us an imposing spectacle. The long line of troops included the several branches of the service, cavalry, infantry ami artillery. To one accustomed to the grand military displays in Europe, it was novelty; yet the scene appear ed to impress the Prince wit It a favorable idea us the personnel of our troop*. He seemed to be somewhat surprised at the unanimity of sentiment existing at the South, and thought it boded a [••traded war. When he alluded to the possibility of a reconstruction of the I ‘iiion, lie was*told by the gentleman at his side that it was no more possible titan that the sun and moon could revolve in the same orbit. The Prince wa? met on his arrival by General Beau regard, with a splendid escort of cavalry, and the same mark of courtesy was tendered him on his return. He preferred, however, tho ns eort of two gentlemen, whom he selected Major C. H. Morgan, of the Third Tennessee Regiment, Elzey’sßrigade, and Captain Chari ton Morgan, of the same regiment. The Inst named officer was chosen in consideration of tho fact that his father fought under Victor Emanuel in the Garibaldi campaign. Capt. M. himself was the Consul at Messina, Sicily, a position which he resigned when Lincoln was elected President ; after frhich, he was Sec retary to Colonel A. Dudley Mann, one of the Confederate Commissioners in Europe, lie returned home a few months since, and imme diately entered the service ol his native South. Richmond Di.yatch, 1 DA. An Arrest. The N. Y. Day Book make the following statement in regard to an arrest of a on of Ex- Gov. Smith : The late Navy Agent at San Francisco, J. AY. Smith, of Virginia, who arrived at this port yes terday, and who, it will he remembered, was ac cueed of pocketing $lO.OOll of t'nited State* funds, was taken into custody by Marshal Mur ray, almost immediately after hi* arrival. Without delay, the Marshal telegraphed to Secretary Seward stating that he had Hmith in custody, and asking for authority to tranfer him to the military power, without which he would he unable to detain hi* prisoner. The Marshal this morning received the necessary authority, and is now taking steps to transfer bis prisoner to Fort Lafayette. Hois. T. A. R.
