SAVANNAH,
Wednesday UlornlPg? Sept. 24, 1862.
Massie School.—At a meeting of the Board
of Commissioners of the Massie School, on
Monday evening, Wm. T. Feay, Esq., was
elected Principal. The long experience and
distinguished success of Mr. Feay as a teacher
in our midst, and his well-established reputa
tion ns a highly educated and accomplished
scholar, render it a subject of congratulation
that -the commissioners have secured liia ser
vices lor this institution.
Arrival of Prisoners.—The oflicers of the
Pulaski garrison, with a few exceptions whose
families are in the interior, arrived here yester
day momiDg. We welcome them back to their
home and friends after their long captivity.
They have deserved well of their country and
will have their reward.
They complain .much of the hardships and
wrongs suffered at the hands of the Yankees on
their trip down the Mississippi. They Were
kept two weeks on the river and fed exclusively
on hard biscuit and raw bacon, without a par
ticle of provision for cooking. Besides this it
was Impossible to keep anything safe from the
thieves. Their trunks were broken open and
knocked to pieces on board the boats and near
ly all their valuables stolen.
■ The News.—Our despatches from Northern
sources contain glorious neiw from Kentucky.
It seems that: five thousand Indiana troops, hav
ing been surrounded at Mumfordsville, capitu
lated to our forces, and gave up their arms.
Bragg was doubtless the hero in this case, as he
was not far distant when last heard from, and
moving in that direction. We hope it may not
turn out that he has swapped off Buell’s large
army for these six regiments of Indianians.
Mumfordsvillc is about sixty miles due south ol
Louisville and directly on the line of the Nash
ville and Louisville railroad.
The Federal accounts from Sharpsfcurg do
not materially change the aspect of affairs In
that quarter. MeCleilan claims a victory on
Wednesda}*, but says noibiDg of the fight of
Thursday, although his despatch is dated on
Friday. It will be recollected that our despatch
staled that the battle was renewed on Thursday
and the enemy driven back nine miles. lie
confirms the report of Lee’s wilhdtawsl to the
south bank of the Potomac, an;> says ho had
sent a column under Pleasanton in pursuit. It
was this party, doubtless, numbering ten thou
sand, that Jackson fell in with and completely
routed on Saturday.
McClellan would act wisely to keep his forces
together, for he may rest assured that Lee has
not hid him a final adieu. We shall probably
hear stirring news from that quarter to-day or
to-morrow.
ARMY correspondence
Of tjie Savannah Republican.
Diary of the RIarcli cf ilio Confederate
Army,
Near Middleton, Md., Sept. 10, ISO 3.
Orders were issued last night to move at five
o’clock this morning. Jackson’s corps started
first, then Bill's; and finally Longstreet’s, which
being the right wing of the army, brought up
the rear. The army has marched by the left flank
from Richmond into Maryland, and hence Jack-
son, who commands the left, has headed the
column all the way.
Though the corps of Locgstreet was ready to
take up the line of march at five o’clock, it did
not move until nearly nine, having to wait un
til the other corp3 had passed on. It was un
necessary, therefore, to keep the rear of the
column waiting over three hours; it would
have been better if the order had indicated dif
ferent corps and divisions to start. The rule
heretofore adopted was for the wagons of each
division to follow immediately in the rear of
the division. To-day, unfortunately, the rule
was changed and the wagons were ordered to
keep along side of the division. Our march
Lay along the treat Cumberland turnpike in the
direction cf Hagerstown, and it was supposed,
I presume, that the road was wide enough to
admit the column and the wagons to proceed
abreast. This was a mistake, however; and
consequently our advance was slow and tedious.
The dust was intolerable, exceeding anything I
have ever seen or imagined. The turnpike
proper, or middle of the highway, was com
paratively free from this annoyance; but the
dirt-way on either side, over which the wagons,
artillery, cavalry and beef cattle proceeded, sent
up a suffocating cloud of gray and yellow dust
that enveloped the whole army. It has been
very warm to-day, besides, and this rendered
,thc march still more tiring to the men. But
j&cy were prepared for it by the two days of
■'T^'est they have just had along the banks of the
beautiful Monocacy.
While passing through Frederick, we were
welcomed with many demonstrations of sym
pathy by the citizens, tho women aud children
taking the lead. It was not an uucommon thing
to pass a house with only one window open,
and on looking in to see one or more iadies
sitting in the back part of the room waving
miniature flags. The people in this part of the
State have felt the heel of the oppressor, aud
hence even in the presence of a Confederate
army they find it necessary to be as cautious as
possible. They say If they only knew we would
'tiot abandon the State, thsy would, throw off
every disguise and array themselves on our side
at once, with arms in their hand3. We en
countered a good many Unionists both in tho
town and country. They conducted themselves
with propriety, and were in no wise molested
by our soldiery either in person or property.
This was in accordance with Gen. Lee’s order
a copy of which you will find enclosed herewith.
Not a pound of haf nor a piece of wood has
been consumed without the owner’s consent
and full compensation. In this the people have
been agreeably surprised; they had heard 60
"much through Federal sources of the lawless
ness of our troops, that they were prepared to
witness scenes of violence and spoliation wher
ever the army marched.
It is now 10 o’clock at night, and we are en
camped two miles west of the village of Mid-
dletgp. The men are slaughtering beef by
moMfeSght, and cooking rations for the march,
thac^^uch <ff them as had not already pre
pared their rairons. The order before leaving
the Monocacy, -was to cook three days’ rations
j uBt snfficient, as tho men supposed, to last
them to Baltimore, forty miles distant, and the
Mecca to which all eyes have been turned since
. wo crossed the Potomac. .But the road we have
t^ten, does not lead to Baltimore, but direetlv
. from it. What does It mean? Is Harrisbnre
our destination, or Pittsburg, or Cincinnati? 6
• BuJ-the weary men have rolled themselves on
ip-their blankets, and in their dreams are pay-
ing pleasant.visits to their distant homes : and
I must follow their example.
Hagerstown, MD.,Sept. 11th.
The old order of march was resumpd this
morning, the wagon trains following the divi
sions to which they belong, and hence the march
has not been so elow and tedious as it was yes
terday. It has been cloudy and misty, too, and
consequently, tho dust and heat have been lees
oppressive. We kept on the Cumberland turn
pike until we had passed Boonsboro a short dis
tance, where Jackson aud Hill and others look
the lead to Williamsport, and Longutrcct con
tinued along the pike in this direction. One
brigade only. (Colonel Benning’s, late Genera -1
Toombs’,) entered Hagerstown to act as a
guard, the remainder of Longstreet’s corps
having stopped three, miles short of the town.
Our march, yesterday and to-day, lay across
the valleys of the Monocacy and the Catoeton,
up the beautiful Anietun creek, aud over the
continuing lines of the Blue Ridge. I have
never seen a more fruitful and lovely rcgion<
or more picturesque and bewitching scenery.
The deep blue mountains running in parallel
lines, the quiet valleys, the clear rocky streams,
the*white farm houses and immense barns,
wheal stacks and hay ricks, the great cattle
grazing on the hillsides, the long dusty column
of the Confederate army, threading their way
across the valleys and through the gaps in the
mountains, and the clusters of simple country
people, - who have’gathered along the road side*
or in front of their houses, to witness the pass
ing spectacle—these constitute a scene of min
gled lovlines3 and grandeur—a scene in which
the quiet beauty of nature and the stern array
of war are brought into singular juxtaposition.
The hosts of' McCllellan and Pope have melted
away before onr victorious legions; but the sky
looks serene, the hills stand as firm, and rivn-
lets laugh as sweetly, after we have passed as
before; for they arc the work of the Almighty,
and endure forever. Looking back from the
crest of the mountains; over all this scene of
beauty and glory and grandeur, one can but
feel how puny and insignificant is man, and all
his works, in the presence of the Lord of lords
and King of kings.
Many of the people of Hagerstown and the
adjacent country have fled across the Pennsyl
vania line, five miles distant, taking with them
such effects as they could carry. The fugitives
are persons who had taken an active part in
oppressing and hunting down the Secession -
ists in this part of the State, and being con
demned by their own consciences, they con.
cinded their only safety lay in immediate flight.
No pursuit wa3 attempted, and no punishment
was meditated against them; we have come,
not to punish, but to deliver the people of
Maryland. Many of those who fled arc known
here as Dunkards—a class of persecuting re
ligionists, who wear very long'hair and beard.
“ The wicked ilee when no man pursueth.”
Those who remained, and who constitute a
majority of the town and county, have given
us a very cordial reception. They have thrown
open their houses to us, and exerted them
selves to render us as comfortable as possible*
Several Confederate flags were displayed,-and
the ladies met us at every corner with smiles,
boquets and waving handkerchiefs. The bo3 r s
hurrahed for Jeff. Davis as lustily as they do in
Richmond, aud one cm almost imagine he is
in the far South. Intelligent citizens tell me
there is not a county, even along the Pennsyl
vania border, that would not, if left to a free
choice, cast its lot with the South.
I have just seen late numbers of the New
York Herald, Harrisburg Patriot and Union,
(a Democratic paper, whose editors were ar
rested seme weeks ago, and subsequently re
leased,) and the Rochester Advertiser. It
would seem that the report of the departure Of
Mr. Lincoln and his cabinet from Washington
grew out of his absence and that of Mr.
Seward, both of whom are now at their posts*
I hear nothing further of the resignation of
Pope or of the arrest of McDowell, aud am dis
posed to discredit both rumors. Pope claimed
a decided victory on Friday, the 29lb of August,
though at tho cost of S,000 men, but on the
second or following day it is admitted that the
Federals fell back, after being considerably
worsted. They estimate their whole loss in
the two days’ fight at 15,000. They also admit
that their left wing, composed in part by Por
ter’s and Heintzelman’s regulars and picked
troops, and opposed by Longstreet’s corps,
gave way first, being badly cut up. It was
here that Col. Fletcher Webster, the last sur
viving child of Daniel Webster, fell mortally
wounded. He said that but for the fresh clivis.
ion brought up by Toombs, the Federals would
have carried the day. He fell into quite an
error; for Toombs did not bring up a division.
He had been absent, as I have already explained,
under orders, and reached the field a few min
utes after 4 o’clock, and when the battle was
raging. He dashed along our lines on the
right in search of his brigade, and was vocifer
ously cheered by the Georgians and Caroli
nians, who knew him, as he passed. Finding
his brigade at last, and placing himself at the
head-of it amidst the shouts of his men, he and
Wright (who was just preparing for a charge
also) moved forward rapidly and in concert, and
threw their brigades with great violence agains 1
the hitherto immovable lines of the enemy.
It was this brilliant charge that first broke the
lines of the enemy, and led Col. Webster to
think it was made by a fresh division under
Gen. Toombs. - *
Col. Webster, now dead, was the oldest son
of Daniel Webster. ,IIis youngest son was in
the army in Mexico, and died in service there.
His daughter, Mrs. Appleton, died some years
aK0 — s0 that now there is none left of the blood
of the great orator.
The bodies of Gen. Stevens and Col. Fletcher
Webster were embalmed in Washington, and
sent to Boston, their native city, for interment.
Gen. Stevens did not fall into our hands, but
Gen. Kearney and Col. Webster did. The
bodies of the latter were sent forward under a
flag of truce. The Federals were not aware Of
Kearney’s death until we sent in his body ;
they supposed he had been captured—not
killed.
As yon have already been informed, McClel
lan has been appointed by the President com-
mander-in-chiciof all the Sprees for the defense
of Washington. The papers before me say his
appointment was opposed by all the Cabinet
except Mr. Blair, (Mr. Seward being absent).
The new levies continue to arrive in Washing
ton daily. The draft to make up the deficit Of
volunteers has been postponed from the 1st to
the 15th inst., and not abandoned. The Roch
ester Advertiser says that the draft has been
changed, and is intended to raise sufficient vol
unteers—cay 200,000—to fill up the old war reg
iments. This is a special draft, and in additiqp
thereto another draft lor 300,000 militia to
serve for „ nine months, has been ordered.

We are standing on the borders of Pennsyl

answer, yes But would it be wise ? - Would it
not be better to relieve Maryland, now we arc

should march into Pennsylvania? A nation
may make war, or continue it when once in, to

'Hie Battle near SSoonnvillc——Move
ments Preparatory to the Great -Fight
at Sharpsborg.
We copy from an extra of the Richmond En.
quirer^ifcsued on Saturday evening, the follow
ing authentic intelligence of the operations of
our army beyond Harper’s Ferry as late as to
Tuesday night last:
The battle of Sunday, the 14tb, which has been vari
ously Culled tho tattle of Boonsboro’ and Middletown,
took place, between thcee two p'aces, where the turn
pike road crosses tho Bluo Ridge. Gen. Lee, in march
ing west from Frederick city, had posted Generals D.-
H. Hill and Stuart at the passes of the mountain, to
hold back McClellan’s forces, which were advancing to
the relief of Harper s Ferry.
Harper’s Ferry having held out somowhat longer
than was expected, and McClellan’s advance hiving
become rapid, General Lee suspected that he uTight
attempt to force tho pa?tage of the mountain, and’ fall
upon the rear of General McLaws, who was occopying
the Maryland Heights, and assitmg in the reduction of
Harper’s Ferry. He accordingly returned with Gen.
Longstreet’s division, on Sunday, to General Hill’s
eupport.
On approaching Booneiboro’ couriers were met from
Hill, announcing that the enemy were pressing him in
strong force at the main pass on the Frederick aud
Hagerstown road, and that he required immediate re
inforcements. Longstrefct thereupon "harried his
march, and very soon had his troops imposition. By
this tire Hill’s right had been forced back; and here
the gallant Gen Garland had fallen while rallying his
brigade.
Gen. Longstrett eocn snceeeceJ -in r'efetorirg our
right, which afterwards successfu ly resisted t> she
very last the efforts ot tho enemy.
The enemy’s surerior numbers enabled ^im to mnke
bis line outstretch ours, both on the rightdnd left. His
right reached the sammi>cf tho mountain to our left,
annoying us considerably from that direction.
The battle raged until alter night. The enemy’s de
termined effort to force a passoge had.'bcen success
fully resisted; and the object he had in view, the relief
-of Harper’s Ferry, was now rendered.’ impossible of
accomplishment.
Late in the evening lnformationjvas gainsd that the
enemy had obtained poseesau-n of Crumpton’s Gap,
on the direct road from Frederick City to Sharpsburg. -
This enabled him still to threaten McLaw^a rear. G^-ti-
oral Leo Laving received information that Harper’s
Ferry would probably fall next morning, determined
tjpwithdraw fiens. Longstreot and Hill from th^irpo-
.-sitlon, and retire to Sharpsburg, where he couhl more
.ree&tly unite his whole army. Sharpsburg is about
tqrtifiiilos north of Harper’s Fetry, and about eight
iliiies west of Boonesboro. Lee’s determination was
rendered the more.expedient from the fact that Gen.
Sumner’s corps tHrfresh troop* had come up to relieve
their wearied comrades, while oa our sido we were
without any-each aid.
Tho tTains were accordingly sent off first, ard-’oer
army followed, and about daybreak Menduy morning
our position was taken in front of-Shtopshurg. Oui
march was entirely uninterrupted by IhOoneaMr.
McClellan’s troops did not pats ttuJttfch tin? moun
tain gap until S o’clock on Monday -mornieg, and
about 2 p. m., of the same day, their advance reached a
position in front of our lines at Sharpsburg. They
continued to gather up their forces, bst up to Tuesday
night had made no attack.
General Lee also remained inactive, waiting for the
junction of Jackson’s force*. A part Ited.reached him
on Tuesday evening, and the rest were near by, save
General A. P. Hill’s division, which had been left at
Harper’s Ferry to guard tie place and protect the pub
lic property.
