SAVANNAH, GA.
Wednesday Eomiuff, Sept. 24, 1862,
Plundering.—The Northern papers boast
that among the things taken from Baton Ronge
by the evacuating iorce were Power’s marble
statue of Wash! ngton and the State library,
from the capitol. This was done by orderbf
the commanding general.
A Flood of Correspondence.—The pent-up
malls from Maryland have at last broken loose.
We received yesterday evening no less than
seven letters from our correspondents in that
quarter, three o'f which are devoted to accounts
'of looses in the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and
Eleventh Georgia regiments in the battles of
Matfassas Plains. We shall spread the whole
before our readers jn the coarse of a day or two.
Our Patriotic Dead and Wounded.—To
the long list oi dead and wounded Georgians
who fell on the field of Manassas, already pub
lished, wo copy to-day, from the Richmond
Enquirer, the casualties in a number of other
regiments, composing part of A. P. Hill’s brig
ade. It is a sad story, eo ead that it really ap
pears that the greater part of the losses on
those ep-auguir.ed. plains fell upon the Georgia
troops.
Frank Confession is good foe the Soul.—
The New York World must have sweat drops
of blood when, iri'referring to the war, it made
the following record against the Yankee nation:
“CONSIDERING THE AVAILABLE
MEANS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS, IT
IS THE MOST DISGRACEFUL FAILURE
RECOR6ED AGAINST ANY GOVERNMENT
IN MODERN HISTORY.” .

Fun Ahead.—The St. Louis Republican says :
“ Now that Geu. Hunter has come home, and
Gen. Mitchell gone out to take command of
the Department of the South, the rebels down
that way may come to the conclusion that some
thing is about to be done; and if the latter
only could contrive in some way to capture
r Charleston, what a glorious shout would go up
in loyal quarts, „ ! ” *
That will play into our hands exactly. The
boys down this way are thoroughly disgusted
with the lack of Yankee enterprise, and are
longing far something to turn up that will
make timc6 livelier.
The Yankee Robbers—A Precious Confes
sion.—A correspondent of the St. Louis Re
publican, v/ho was with Curtis on his march
through Arkansas to Helena, says that on the
Arkansa-s side of the river, outside of Helena,
** there is not r. house for ten miles but what
has been pillaged from cellar to garret by Cur
tis’ troops.” Trunks were broken open, bu
reaus opened and sacked, in fact every drawer,
cupboard, trunk, chest, sacked and pillaged;
ladies’ dresses, ear rings, finger rings, breast
pins, in fact everything moveable possessing
value, stolen.” And this writer says that was
not all. • ne adds that “on the road traveled by
the army 7 the same system of pillage has been
carried on. If a dollar’s worth of moveable
property has been left, it was because the sol
dier’s knapsack would hold no more, or wagons
could not be pressed to haul it.” He says he
has heard it said that Curtis has regiments that
could steal either Vicksburg or Richmond in a
week without firing a gun.
Jackson Crossing the Potomac.—A gen
tleman from 'Winchester, who saw General
Jackson when he crossed the Potomac, de
scribes the passage of our victorious hosts into
Maryland as the grandest sight h<J ever witness
ed. When our army reached the middle of the
river, which they were wading, the troops
were halted, Gen. Jackson pulled off his hat,
and the splendid bands of music struck up the -
inspiring air .of’ “Maryland, toy Maryland!”
which was responded to and sung with “the
spirit and with the understanding” by all who
could sing, and the name of all who could then
and there sing was legion. It sounded in the
ears of the tyrants on the other 6ide like
mighty thunder. The fact that our army was
to pass over the Potomac Into Maryland, was,
of course, known to many of the gallant sons
of fhht long-oppressed and down-trodden State,
and ihey were there to welcome the Confeder
ate soldiers to the land of Howard, and Pinck
ney and Carroll. _

.Propositions for Peace.
Near Fredericktown, Maryland,
September 9th, 1862.
I have reason to believe that the Federal gov
ernment has solicited a short armistice, which
Gen. Lee has very properly declined to grant,
since no guaranty conld be given by a foe so
false and treacherous that it would not be
abused. I have reason to believe also, that an
intimation has been given by Mr. Lincoln, cov
ering our recognition by the Federal Govern
ment and a proposition to allow the border
States to decide for tiemselves whether they
would elect to go with the North or the South,
and that it has been favorably received by Gen.
Lee. In other words, I am credibly informed
that a prominent citizen of Maryland, known
to be friendly to the Confederate States, arrived
at Gen. Lee’s headquarters from Washington
city, within the last twenty-four hours. This
personage, though not authorized to offer
terms or submit propositions of settlement, has,
nevertheless, suggested, in an informal way,
that if we would renew our offer of peace
(made a£ an early period last year,) upon the
basis of the recognition of onr independence
by the Federal government, coupled with a
proposition to allow the border States to deter
mine for themselves their future relations,
it would be agreeable to the government of the
United States and receive their favorable con
sideration. Gen. Lee, it is believed, though
distrustful ot the faith of the adversary, has
acted upon the intimation thus conveyed to
him, and has, probably, ere this, submitted
propositions of the character just suggested.
Should his offer be accepted, then an armistice
will doubtless be agreed upon and the terms of
settlement at once drawn up. Until the armis
tice shall be granted, however, the informal
preliminary negotiations, whether undertaken
in good faith or not, will not be allowed to in
terfere with our military movements.
There can be no impropriety, therefore, in
making such an offer as I have alluded to. Y.’c
are the conquering party, and any propositions
that look to an adjustment of existing difficul
ties should proceed from us. Nor can we ob
ject to the suggestion to leave it to the border
States to say whether they will east their lot
with the North or with the South. This righ’-
each one of the Confederate States exercised
for itself when it severed the bonds that bound
it to the old Union. If they don’t desire to go
with us, we certainly cannot want them. There
can be but little doubt, however, that 'Mary
land. Kentucky and Missouri will unite their
fortunes with ours by large mejorities of life
people. The Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, and the Indian Territory, we already
have. The Ohio river belongs entirely to Vir
ginia and Kentucky, Irom its mouth to the ex
treme northern point of the Panhandle Dis
trict of Virginia. This boundary was reserved
by "V irglnia at the time Kentucky and the North
western States were carved out of her territory
and erected into Sla'cs. .Wc.conld not desire a
better boundary on $he north than a wide, deep
and unvlgablo river like tke Ohio. The bound
ary line between Missouri and Illinois is the
middle of the Mississippi river.
It may be that this diplomatic movement of
the Federal Government is merely a ruse to
gain time. The precarious position of the
government is such, however, that one may
well be excused for giviDg it credit for sincerity.
The demoralized condition of its army, the
load of debt under which it is now staggering,
its inability to enforce the act authorizing a
draft, and our recent successes in Kentucky*
Tennessee and Virginia, leave Mr. Lincoln no
alternative but to grant ns peace upon our own
terms. Baltimore and Washington are within
our power, and one more victory will open to
our advancing hosts the gates of Philadelphia
and New York.
Should it appear, therefore, that I his??, been
correctly informed, Gen. Lee’s proposition can
do no harm, even if it be rejected. A refusal
by the Federal government to accept it, would
only further unite the South and divide the
North, and at the same time strengthen ns in
the border States and throughout the world.
The New York Herald, it is said, has already
come out in favor of peace. It considers the
thing all over so far as the North is concerned.
It is reported that Banks has moved out from
"Washington in this direction with a considera
ble force. It is understood that he is at Daroes-
town, a position which was fortified by the
Federals last year with a view to cover the fords
and ferries near the Great Falls of the Potomac.
It is not believed that he meditates an offensive
movement, but merely one of observation and
precaution.
We bear al30 that the Federal force near flar-
per’s Ferry, estimated at 2,000 men, has been
captured, and with them a large amount of
stores, and all their horses and artillery. We
found at this place a considerable amount of
medical and hospital stores, shoes, clothing,
&c., which have been appropriated to the use
of the army. Hagerstown, due north from
Harper’s Ferry, and just below tfie Pennsylva
nia line, is represented to be in onr possession.
Gov. Hicks is afraid to call the Legislature of
fe~8tateTogeiher. xnc memucra were elected,
as it were, at the point of the bayonet,
one was allowed to vote but Unionists; and yet
the President of the Senate is now a fugitive in
Richmond, whilst a majority of the members
are understood to desire a union with the Con
federacy.
I rode into town this afternoon with General
: t0 s ee an old friend of his. While pass
ing along one of the streets, a beautiful young
lady beckoned me to the side-walk, and asked
if the officer with whom I was riding was not
General Jackson. Upon receiving a reply in
COP.RESPONDEKCE
or the Savannah Republican.
Frederick, Md., Sept, 13ib, 1802.
Mr. Editor: The greatest event of this war
has transpired: the Potomac has been passed
and our army is now in Maryland. To-day they
have commanded a halt to rest the troop3 after
the superhuman efforts made by them In the
last three weeks, in pursuing and battling with
the invader on the soil of Virginia. Only a few
days will iTe allowed; then onward they presj
again to free this down-trodden land. Every
body sings “The despot’s heel is on thy shore,”
and the Marylanders, wc hear, too, are rising
everywhere. Yesterday, for the first time, we
saw the Maryland flag floating. The Unionists
are terror-stricken at the presence of the rebels,
and the poor deluded things, in most cases,
stand ready to yield up everything to the “sav
age wretches.” Some have fled, but a few, very
few, hold up and maintain Union sentiments
at their homes. The vile sheet in this town
which has been advocating strong Union senti
ments and abusing the “traitors” of Maryland
so lorg, was yesterday torn up and destroyed,
lock, stock and barrel, by the uprising patriots.
I’ve forgotten its name and don’t care if I never
remember it.
Strange rumor3 come up from Washington :
Pope’s arrival in the Federal capital has caused
Abe’s and the Cubinet’s departure. Is’nt that
strange ? The summer is almost too far gone
for a Northern trip, and this sudden disposition
to travel North is inexplicable. He comes in
like “a thief in the night” and goes out as if
the watchman was after him. Rumors—camp
rumors—fly around that Pope ha3 resigned,
also Halleck, and that the “ Young Napoleon
steps loftily to the chair called the Secretary of
War. Cameron, Stanton, Halleck, McClellan—
do you recollect any more ?—try this chair in
the course of sixteen months! Maybe the “old
concern” don’t sit easy. Every now and then
some rebel General steps in, whaeksofl a le«
and down goes a Yankee Secretary of war. This
probably explains it.
I have not been in towD, but from those jast
returned from there, I learn recruiting is pro
gressieg rapidly. Three or four companies have
already been raised to-day, and by to-morrow
night more than 1000 will stand under Confede
rate banners. Gen. Toombs has set the city in
a blaze with the fire of his eloquent tongue,
lie went in to-day to make a speech for the sec
ond time, the result of which I have not learn
ed ; but it may very well be anticipated. What
can stand before liis eloquence when such a
cause is advocated ? Nothmg but the blindest
bigotry and fanaticism. Oar Generals arc en
forcing the most rigid regulations in order that
everjrspecies of property, whether of friend or
foe, may be respected. The object is to show
these people that we are not the barbarians rep
resented to them by the Federal rulers, and I
am proud to say, so far, our men have behaved
well. t
The country around here is one of the most
beautiful my eyes ever beheld—rich and fertile,
and surrounded by cerulean mountains, the
most picturesque imaginable, making a country
in every respect desirable to live in. Ou;? sol
diers are in the finest spirits, in this delightful
climate, and provisions are cheap as well as of
the best kind. I hope good living will not
make them forget that many hardships are
yet to be endured before freedom will grace our
banners.
I know nothing of the enemy’s whereabouts
a3 yet; the probability is, he lies close about
Washington anticipating our hdvent there.—
General Lee has not turned his head that way j
and as fbr me, I am puzzled to know whether
he is bound for Baltimore or Pennsylvania. We
shall see, and so will the Yankees. Rumors
came yesterday from our stragglers that Banks
was in pursuit, but as usual, it will be a feeble
one. I don’t think the authorities at Washing
ton, if any are there, would trust Banks far out
of Bight of the fortifications. If he comes he
may look for a decent thrashing; in fact, I will
guarantee him that much.
But I must hurry through. I expect, my
dear sir, you would like to know why I have
not sent you a letter for so long a time. To be
short, I have been recruiting in the old Empire
State, after an illness from camp fever. I had
no war news to relate there unknown to } r our-
self; and to tell the truth, I was too busy with
the “girls” to think even of your lenient and
kindly disposed columns.
Good-bye, sir, I must go and wash my shirt.

A Mr. Dorritt in Real Life.—The readers
of Dickens’ “Little Dorritt” are all familiar
with the Marshalsea, where Mr. Dorritt passed
so many of the better years of his life. We
notice a parallel to his case in the late English
journals. They record the death of General
Peter R. D. Sterne, a descendant of Lawrence
Sterne, after an imprisonment of thirty-six
years. He entered the Mexican army at an
early age, and rose to the rank of General. He
saw much active service in that distracted coun
try, and returned to his native land about the
year 1824. In 1826 he was imprisoned for dam
ages and cost arising from a suit brought against
him. He entered the prison in the prime of
life, and after the lapse of thirty-six years he
was at length released at death. Slanv of
those who read “Little Dorritt” have found
it hard to believe that the scenes in the Mar
shalsea were drawn from life. And it is espe
cially difficult to think of them as scenes of
this enlightened and philanthropic age. Yet
here we have, a model lor Dickens. One natu
rally is led to ask whether, in England, men of
high attainment and large capacity, and varied
experience, are so superabundant that they can
find no better use for them than locking them
np in gloomy walls of the Marshalsea, for the
long, long space of thirty six years. With all
onr alleged recklessness of human life, we com
mit no such crime as this.

she said, “what shall I do ? Won’t,
she said, “what shall I do? Won’t yon come

ecdote about old Stonewall, as follows : Dur
ing his march from Staunton around to Rich
mond, his officers were verv anxious to know
where he was going; and, finally, an inquisi
tive Colonel rode up to him and said: “General,
we are all desiroua to know what our destina
tion is—can’t youAell us ?” Jackson drew near
him and inquired in a confidential manner,
‘-‘Can you keep a secret, sir ?” “Oh yes,” an
swered the Colonel. “Well, so can I,” the
chieftian replied, and rode on. The young lady
laughed heartily at the anecdote. X bade her
good evening. We saw a great many at the
windows with minatnre Confederate flags which
they waved at ns as we passed. * ‘

A Noble Project.—The citizens of Wilson,
N. C., seem to have observed the Thanksgiving
of last Thursday in a most practically Christian
and patriotic manner. We understand that af
ter a sermon by Rev. Dr. Deems, a copy of
which is solicited for publication, a large col
lection was taken np to pnrehose testaments and
tracts for onr soldiers. After which, a number
of the citizens rasolved to make a commence
ment toward securing a fund of 8100,000 or
8150,000 for the purpose of establishing a Mili
tary College, for the education of the orphan
boys of 6uch soldiers as fall In the wars of the
Confederacy.- More than five thousand dollars
were subscribed that very afternoon by o few
gentlemen, one thousand being contributed by

Tlio Kcvorses of tlie North,
The Baltimore American, as black an abo
lition sheet as any of the prints of Boston, has
a leading editorial on the reverses cl the North.
Some of its passages are rather significant cf
tho temper of the North under tho present as
pect of the war. It R Eel flora the American
talks like this:
In the beginning of the cautlict there was cot
an intelligent mind on earth but must have
comprehended at the merest glance the as
tounding disparity in all the moans of snaking
war between the ifro sections, the North having
infinitely Lhc advantage.
Well, the war has continued some eighteen
months, and “foreign intervention” has come
to them, not from the quarter hoped for and
expectcdj’bnt Irom those they have proclaimed
“foreigners,’Mrom a portion of the American
people thetnselves. And if this “intervention”
has not been as formidable to look at as the
hoped-for fleets of France or England, it ruu
been none the less effective, none the less dis-
.strous for us, covering us with shame ‘.d
confusion ot face, ana wasting the blood cf one
hundred thousand gallant men a3 a needless
sacrifice to the demon of divided connseK
What are the facts? When the Prc-.. '
called for the first “seventy-five thousand rn-:-,”
if the announcement was received with “1
of laughter” at Montgomery, the demonstra
tions of satisfaction at the procpcct in the loyal
States of crushing the rebellion were n > Rss
plain. Mfiu glancevl anew at Ihe long columns
of tho ccrr vs tables ami asked one aaothe;
it was pcs-ible avy Mi--aid dare to enter upon
so unequal a fight ? The loyal S‘.atC3 vaunted
their superiority. “V/eare two thirds c^v.: - .

Discovering that the enemy were in force, Genera

not roach tha field until alter the enemy had been
driven back from every position more than six hundred
yards, and with a lose oi over fifty prisanprs and nine
pieces of artillery. Darkness prevented farther pur

Onr loss in killed, wounded and missing will reach

and Coloncli Whitfield, Gilmore and Mabry wounded.
The enemy Laving receivei heavy reinforcements

Who does not recollect'this 'rr-imrk^ie^er-
iod in the Nation’s history ? Who does not
recollect tho boast of Wendell Phillips that the
army could march to the capital of Virginia
with nothing to oppose it? But the loyal
States were aroused from their dreams of easy
conquest by the catastrophe at Manassas, by the
conflict at Bull’s Bluff, and revised their calcu
lations somewhat.
Now came the “ foreign intervention,” eo
much to be deployed. Must the war be ter
minated and the n.-gro not be permitted to fig
ure la if, could no plea be gotten lip which
would serve to thrust him to the front ? "We
all know what followed. A deadly apathy fell
upon our commanders; reverses befel the
Uuion arms which only the negro had the pow
er to avert. The South had the advantage in
having him! The mighty and energetic North,
with it3 surplus of four millions of men, was
frightfully overbalanced with less than four
millions of men, women and children of an in-
feaior race! And all hands stopped fighting to
devise the ways and means to secure these
mighty allies, this population which in the out
set was to take nearly the whole white popula
tion of the South to “watch!”
Now, what must impartial observers in other
lands think of all this ? What cau friendship
for the cause of the Union avail to save ns hu
miliation, confession of defeat ? The men who
should have been fighting have stood* back to
debate the capability of the negro to take their
places; and the fire they have opened upon the
rear of the President and the generals who
would not give in to their deadly scheming has
been more fatal to the Union cause than the
batteries of the rebels in the field.
When Congress should have had its measures
for the suppression of the rebellion working in
harmony, when there should have been bat one
policy, it ^as on the alert lo beget want of con
fidence; it was more intent on tue status of the
negro than the safety of the citizen. Between
secession and abolition, the “ upper and the
nether millstone,” the border States especially
are in danger of being ground to powder; and
it i3 our right to protest, and we shall not cease
to protest, were the government finally in the
agonies of dissolution. If twenty millions o(
white men cannot whip one-third of their num
ber without whining about the “ advantages ”
possessed by the latter, let us acknowledge our
inability, our inferiority, and retire from the
field “ before a worse thing come upon us.”

We make the following extracts from the
Chattanooga Rebel of the 21st:
The train on the Nashville railroad returned
yesterday, having gone as far as Normandy,
eighty-eight miles lrom Chattanooga. Colonel
Cole, the Superintendent, informs us that he
can have the entire road-in condition to take
passengers to Nashville in ten days, provided
the military authorities protect the road as he
progresses, and the Yankees will have entirely
left Nashville by that tim e.
From a gentleman who left Nashville last
Saturday we learn that fifty-five Regiments of
Buell’s command crossed the <’'j m ^ e riand river
at that place ten days ago, b' a t it was not known
whether they went towa r ' lls the mouth of the
Cumberland river or Vj Bowling Green.
A rumor was prevalent in Nashville that
BneU had encour jt ' ere a the forces cf General
Bragg, in the Vicinity of Bowling Green, but
nothing authentic or positive is knowD.
Gen. Thr jmas > division still remained at Nash
ville, an^ j 3 variously estimated at from 5,000
to 15,1^jo men, but everything went to indicate
the ‘*j Xr ly departure of this bbdy of troops-from

Importance of the Harper’s Ferry Victc-
itY.—A Richmond contemporary says:
The capture of Harper’s Ferry is extremely
important, and every way auspicious for the
Confederate cause. In some respects it is one
of the most momentous successes of the war.
The number of prisoners captured is probably
greater than, has been taken in any other single
engagement during the war, exceeding even the
number taken by the Federal forces at Fort
Donelson, or by the Confederates in the battles
before Richmond. In material results the vic
tory is extraordinarily fruitful. Large quanti
ties of small arm.3 have been taken; a great
amount of ammunition, and several hundred
wagons: ordnance stores, quartermaster’s and
commissary’s stores. Such particulars as have
come to hand will be found in another part of
this morning’s paper. In another point of view
, tnis success' is highly important. It expels the
last remnant of the Federal army away from the
Valley, and secures the whole of that rich
country to the Confederacy. It relieves Gen.
Lee from all apprehension of danger in ms
rear, and opens a safe line of communication
with Richmond. It might have been nnssfe to
leave the strong position’of Htrpa ‘Fmj®

both very shortly. .
