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.” . ARMY GQEEEBPONDENGB Off TILE SAVANNAH KEPUliLICAtJ. 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. _ Lead !

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. Tout-le-Monde. I Casualties in Georgia licgimcnls Virginia since August 6iSa. 45th GEORGIA REGIMENT. Company A, August 1)—Wounded : Private 3 J Kent.

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. the negative, she wrung her hands and ex- cMmed -m, I shall grSw crazy if I don’t see him.

Won’t yon come in and ta"ke some wine and cake with cousin and myself?” I excused myself, but told her an an 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 citizen has just informed me that Confed erate money is already worth ninety cents In the dollar, and that Federal money, will not pass at all, except at a heavy discount. ^ ^ * 1 A Noble Project.—The citizens of Wilson, N.

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 the anrgfiQRfl.in - fierrice_tQ Jhe exceUenly con ducted Hospital under direction of the cner- getic Dr.^SatcKwelU—i; Wilmington Journal.

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.

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.

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.” Company A.

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.

DEPARTMENT. C. S. A., } Second Auditor’s Office, •- * Richmond, June 12.) liegvlationsfor the payment of claims for arrears of pay due lo deceased soldiers. Per Act 103. Ap proved February 16,1S62. The first section of the act is as follows: “The Congress of the Jonl. derate States of America do enact, That the p iy aCd allowances due to deceased volnn- non-commissioned officer, musician or privitc, in the army of the Confederate State.-, .'hall bo paid to the widow ot the deceased, if living ; if not, to the children, if any; and in default of widow or cniidrrn. t.m the father, if living; and if not, to the m . of such de- rcased volunteer;” and payu.^uL will be made accordingly. 1st.

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® possession of tho enemyibatnow that to ooint has been provided for, General JL.ce am it was effected, tho P q( . ^ ^oyements with ,??i.^S, d *red very mnch resembles the Sptnri oTfho great entrenched camp at Ulm by Napoleon.

The Washington papers say that Generat Mc Clellan has sent to .Washington folly sixty wagon loads of knapsacks. This tells, they think, of his purpose of divesting his force of every possible incumbrance to rapid marching 1 or effective fighting, and that he anticipates both very shortly. .
