OOBBBSPONDBNCE
Of the Savannah Republican.
Prom Out Army in Maryland.
Hagerstown, Md., Sept. 13,15&3.
Mr. Editor: Let me try to send you a letter
ftom this place, tire length of which will de
pend upon the time allowed us to remain here.
I could have written yesterday without trouble*,
as we were encamped just here on the edge of
town since day before yesterday, but Confed
erate currency being a long way below par, In
(act impassable, I could not buy paper enough
to write. I cannot much bl .me the merchants
of the place for refusing our currency, for Ma
ryland is not yet free from Yankee thralidom,
and the people have been taught to believe our
ability is not as great as we profess. But, un
der the circumstances and almost when hope so
freedom had expired in the breasts °
southern patriots, they arc loyal t 0 “ 8
expectation. Day before yesterday our brigade
was sent forward in advance to fane possession
ante even before approaching it we
met the joyful people, men, women and chil
dren, coming in crowds to meet us, joy bearon g
describe the wild delight manifested
along the streets; Ilia deafening shouts of the
populace once more beyond the control of the
despot ? I’m sure our soldiers never felt
happier since the war began—feeling that their
presence had created so much joy. Women
fed the soldiers as they marched along, from
baskets filled with provisions prepared for
their advent; the little boys shouted hur
rahs for Davis, and the men plainly told by
their firm looks the their day had ecnio and the
Unionists had better stand clear. One surly
chap of that most wretched body, more coura
geous than his compeers—(or rarst of them,
afraid of our vengeance, Id sought the dark
holes of the as wc marched along,
“Theregoes the cl— and dirty Rebels;” but the
words had scarcely passed bis lips before a Ma
ryland “Secesh” tad stretched him on the
pavement. The fact that our soldiers had soil
ed clothes, and . many were barefooted, only
se-ved to strengthen the admiration of our Con
federate . friends far our army. They wore the
aspect of toiling, enduring ureu, just such aa
they desired to sec. Then the Unionists were
forced, too, to respect the army for the kind
ness exhibited towards them concerning their
homes and private property, end the toleration
for lheir sentim rds ©ur govcrnra:-nt.
The expression of southern sentiments was
not as strong in Frederick as in this place. The
people there were warm enough, but there
seemed to be a kind of restraint, from fear that
we could not carry our point in this State. I
am quite convinced that if wo can induce the
people to believe we .arc only as strong as we
profess, there will be many, now lingerittsr, >
come over.
The Unionists are more.numerous - •• than
when wc first arrived. The news be- gone be
fore us that cur array are net the barbarians
represented to them. S • - 1 vo tak.n advan
tage of this to ccm ■ < . boldly and defy us;
others argue the question sharply with’our
men and swear th y dean to die under the stars
and stripes.
The most of (he Unionists with whom I’ve
ta ked deelare a willingness to acknowledge
our independence, profess to despise Lincoln’s
administration, and ho'e the AboHtioiisls very
inveterai cly.
They are not willing that Maryland should
go with the South, however, which seems quite
inconsistent with these professions. Tl;e stars
and stripes appear to claim most of their ven
eration for the old government. The faet that
the first constitution has been constantly vio
lated, and the government under which they
live has become a military despotism, has never
entered tbefr minds. These are not the higher
and more intellectual order of people in this
State. It is our fortune to have the best blood
of this laud on onr side. ' On the way from
Frederick to this phee'we passed a little town
in which every dour was closed against ns, and
not a smiling face appeared - from the windows,
and not a handkerchief waved to greet us.
But K was very grotbying to read nothing but
Dutfch names over tbo doors. The doleful
faces of the Unionists, trying to effect scorn
when the “ secesh ” citizens wsro shouting
around us, was more amiulog than offensive to
our soldiers. The boys went through the
streets of the little town crying “ sold cut ” at
every closed door. The irate folks tied their
repulsive countenances, which were r.over very
prepossessing in the fairest times, into various
shapes of anger at there thrusts
What is in vogue now 1 can’t exactly deter
mine. 1 heard y.; tentey that Jackson, on our
lilt, near Will'ntns;> rt, had captured over 3,000
prisoners, hut the thundering of cannon this
morning front that course rather denies the re
port. There Were about 3,000 there, so the cit
izens say, and 0,000 at Harper’s Forty If so,
their c'cmct s for escape is rather slim at pres
et; f, and il somebody does not come soon to their
a■. b ianco the chances will b.s slimmer, unless
thy do some “tall shuffling’’ when Jackson
has not an eye to the cards. I think the report
is only - one where the chickens were counted
before hatched. Ido not desire to give !Ui ac
e unt for truth when it is only sanctioned by
Rumor. You know v our.nil what a great liar
film Is at times. Wc have, perhaps, been mi

Car Cause In Kentucky.
The Atlanta Confederacy contains many in
teresting extracts from the Lexington (Ky.)
Statesman of the 6th inst., a portion of which
we copy below:
KENTUCKY FOR THE SOUTH.
If there have been any who have heretofore
doubted that Kentucky, if left to her free
choice, would unite her destinies with the
Southern Confederacy, the spontaneous upris
ing of the people which accompanies the march
of Gen. Smith must have removed such doubts.
Many of the most blinded adherents of the
Northern government volunteer the admission
that “the State is gone.” In Midi?on county,
the people, released from their thraidonby the
glorious victory which drove their oppressors
from among them, are volunteering by hun
dreds, and a regiment is nearly completed there
already; and ia this, our glorious old county
of Fayette, ouce more free, a perfect rush to
the recruiting offices is going on. What a con
trast is presented. On last County Court day,
a great war meeting was advertised nnd at
tempted to be gotten up by the Lined niles of
the city and county; addresses were delivered
by Garret Davis and other distinguished gen
tlemen ; flags were re.'sed; and, with stirring
music, from splendid bands, marching and
countermarching win resorted to for the pur
pose of txcitiii ■ meu to accept the liberal
bounties c.fl' r U and enlist in tho abolition ar
my ; but was no but one recruit was
obt ■U- *iurine the day ! The people ci.i not
w.oi io light on that side. Bat now that “the
.'iij and bars” float above recruiting olflaes
and an opportunity is offered to volunteer in
defense of our institutions, a magnificent blaze
of enthusiasm has spread over the city and
county, and hundreds of the best men in the
land arc rushing into tho service. No better
music is required than the shouts of our en
thusiastic people. No threatening? of draft
need be resorted to. Bounties, though offered,
are not thought off. The hearts of the people
are ia the cause of the South, and glorious old
Fayette will furnish as many noble Confederate
soldiers aa thord were votes last for the Federal
candidates for offices at the late August elec
tions. Let this be her proud aim, and in its
accomplishment we shall show to our brethren
who have mjiched to our relief, that we de
served t• • e!r assistance, iuid that tlie sufferings
of their long and rapid march have not been
endured in vain.
CONSTITUTIONAL FREEDOM KE-XS'fAlU.tspEn !
After passing many weary months under the
oppressions of the ruthless military despotism
ot Mr Lincoln’s administration, the people of
this portion of Kentucky have at last been libe
rated by the conquering army of heroes under
the command of Maj-Gen. Kirby Smith. His
advance had been announced for several weeks
through the Federal papers, and this arrival
v/as therefore not unexpected. Entering the
State through Big Creek Gap (Cumberland
Miiuutain) some twenty miles eouth of Cum
berland Gap, lie took position in the rear of
the Federal army stationed at the latter place,
under Gen. Morgan, effectually cutting off his
communication, and rendering his surrender
ouly a question of time. After several small
and successful affairs on his march from the
Gap, Gan. Smith arrived at Richmond, (35
miles from Lexington,) on Saturday last, and
at that place attacked and almost destroyed the
Union army which had beeu massed there un
der Gen. Nelson to dispute his inarch. Besides
the large Federal loss of killed and wounded,
Gen. Smith took about 5.000 prisoners, most
of whom were paroled, together with 9 pieces
of artillery, and about 8.000 stand of arms. A
more brilliant and complete victory has not
been achieved during the war. The Confederate
veterans did terrible execution among the
hordes of raw levies opposing them; and though
but a small portion of Gen. Smith’s force was*
engaged, it was tnere child’s play for them,
amt scarcely impeded their onward march.
Gen. Nelson, who himself is among the
wounded, succeeded in reaching Lexington on
Sunday, was followed by several email equads
of his men, who arrived by different roads, fci
the meantime a number of Ohio and Indiana
regiments had reached ht*ro to reinforce Gen.
Nelson, and these, with Williams' and Jacob’s
Kentucky cavalry, which had also arrived,
formed au apparently formidable army v and on
Monday, when General Smith’s approach was
announced, confident predictions of the su: -
cesful defense ot Lexington were indulged rn
by Federal officers and their sympathisers.
Towards night, however, rumor, with her usual
truthfulness, announced that immense bodies
of Confederates were approaching the city by
“all tho roads,” art) a Federal panic began to
develop itself. At nightfall a retreat was or
dered, and then commeueed tho destruction of
the tmiiv u- c stores which had been accumula
ted al this point, and the country around was
lit up by the conflagration of the quartermas
ter's paid commissary’s stores, ammunition,
wagons, &c.,-<fee. Terrible* was the destruc
tion, and the beholding tax payer involuntary
clutched his pocket-bosk at the disheartening
prbspect before hm. Much public property,
however, including many valuiblo arms, was
left uninjured in the various camps around the
city, as a reward of the vaior of the patriot
he*roes who, destitute of most of tho comforts
peate-s:;d by their vandal en. my, had marched
over hundreds of miles of mountainous and
unproductive country, for the purpose of de
livering theur down-trodden friends iq Ken
tucky from oppression.
On Monday morning. General Smith’s ad
vance— Oiiurchili’s Division—entered and oc
cupied the city without the slightest opposition
and worei greeted by tho most hearty cheers of
the citizens. The people of this and all the
surrounding counties, rushed spontaneously*
into the city in tin* eudy part of the day, iu time
to receive G-n. Smith, (who arrived about 11
o'clock,) with such demonstrations of delight
and grai uude as astonished li.e gallant veteran
and ids glorious followers, the whole constltu
uiigone o the happiest scenes that mortal eyes
c\er t'oljt ul. Tue ladles —Gad bless them—
P-'ured cut their whole hearts In gratitude.—
Mow vain are oar efforts to convey to the read
er acyvhirg like a truthful picture of the meet
leg of the people andtheir patriotic deliverers—
every face beamed wlrfa joy, which seemed to
be rtlKuuul back and forth as if it were never to
end.
During the day many prisoners were taken
and paroled.
And now comes the most sublime feature in
this most unhappy charge o‘f rulers. It is need
less for us to recount the persecutions under
which our people have beeu suffering—com
pelled to take hcrrtd ouhs —Incarceration in
loathsome and 1 n y prisons—leisures of horses,
negroes and other pioj erty—immense sums of
money extorted by imprincipled and petty
inilit.>:y commanders—alt contrary to law, and
in punishmentfor the unpardonable crime of
holdics;Southern sentiments ! And all this—we
blush to say— sanctioned, and iu some cases
instigated by many of our Union citizens, in
cluding even native Kentuckians ! And how
have these wrongs been met in the day of our
triumph and the humiliation of the wrong-door?
Has retaliation been resorted to ? Far Irom it,
i thanks to that reverence lor free speech, a Iree
j press, aud thee institutional security of persons

Judge Lindsay was appointed Provost Marshal,
ami'll small duiaetmieut was left to execute his
orders, when Col. Scott renewed his pursuit of
the flying foe. On Thursday morning he sent
back to Fiankfort about 300 mules and horses,
and a few prisoners, captured near ITirdinsville.
It was rumored iu Fiankfort that the Federai
rearguard, consisting of Jacob’s Cavalry and
au Ohio regiment-had beeu overtaken and cap
tured near Shelbyville. If this should prove

Gov. Robinson, an,l all other Slate officers,
the members of ifie Legislature, and many eiti
sens, left Frankfort for Louisville about mid- -
night on Sunday last by special train.
The eutbusianm of the Southern Right ; peo
ple of Frankfort is unbounded, and we under
stand four compuines of volunteers have al
ready been raised. The most perfect order pre
vails in that city, and good feeling, so long ab
sent, will soon be restored among its citizens.
Since the above was in type, wc have received
the Yeoman of Thursday, from which we take
the following:
EVENTS AT FRANKFORT.
On Sunday night, about 1 o'clock, the State
Legislature, the Governor, Secretary of State,
and several of the heads of departments, sud
denly left Frankfort on the cars for Louisville,
under resolution of the Legislature to remove
the seat of Government temporarily to a place
of safety from the advancing and victorious
Confederates. The Legislature is now in ses
sion at Louisville, holding its meetings in the
court house there. The principal books and
records of the different departments were taken
off with them.
On Monday evening the Federal army com
menced moving through this place, in its rapid
retreat towards Louisville. Monday night GeD.
Wright and staff, and Gen. Clay Smith and staff,
passed through here on a special train, with
stores and artillery from Lexington. All day
Tuesday and Tuesday night, up to daylight
Wednesday, infantry, artillery and cavalry
poured promiscuously and disorderly through
our streets in hasty retreat from the Confede
rates. There were from seven to ten thousand
men, and 6ome five or six hundred wagons,
under Gens. Gilbert and Jackson, in this re
treat. A small portion of their stores were
destroyed at Frankfort.
On Wednesday morning the heretofore
thronged streets were emptied and the town
was quiet and still as ever it has been in times
of peace on a Sabbath morn. Frankfort being
deserted by all the civil and miliiary authori
ties of the State, and Federal and City Govern
ments, quietly surrendered to the flag of truce
brought by Maj. Harper and Adj’t Fox, of the
advance guard of Col. Seott’s cavalry of the
Confederate army which arrived about 11
o’clock on Wednesday forenoon. In an hour
afterwards Scott’s brigade of cavalry, in force
drew up in front of the Capitol, and planted its
battle-flag on the doom of the State House,
where it stiff flee as an emblem of Confederate
Supremacy in the Capitol of Kentucky.
Great curiosity is manifested on the part oi
our citizens to see, as is the case in most in
stances, for the first time,, a body of Confeder
ate soldiers ; and to-day our streets are crowded
wiih maa and women from the country, most
of whom are manifesting, in a temperate man
ner, however, a decided partiality for the South
ern colors. (A course it Would not be prudent
for us to attempt to publish information of the
strength or intended movements of the Con
federates, even if we had such information
BuJ we discover that the Confederates keep
their own counsels on these points, and we are
iu the dark. Their forces are as hardy, tough,
and well drilled a set of dare devils as ever
served in war, if wc can judge by appearances.
On taking possession, the officers in command
assured the people that no citizen was to be
dislurbed in person or properly ; and, so far,
we believe, we can say ttjat they have faithfully
carried out their promises, and we feel certain
that they will do it to the end.
(From the Richmond Enquirer, litb.j
A Battle at Harper’s Feriy.
We had already been told that Jackson had
swept round by way of Hagerstown, to the
west of Harper’s Ferry. We are now told that
he has not been idle. A citizen of Upper Fau
quier, who reached here last evening, says that
bn Sunday evening last there was heavy and
rapid firing at Harper’s Ferry, aud that it was
renewed on Monday morning, and ceased at 8
o’clock. This settles it, that there was a fight.
Reports from all sides say, further, that it end
ed in the capture of the whole Federal force, of
from five to tight thousand men!
Reports to the effect that the whole force at
Harper’s Ferry had been captured, were current
in weU informed circles ; and being so unusual
Iv devoid of the usual diversity of representa
tions, were generally received with confidence
No official information, so far as we could as
certain, was received to tbat effect, owing no
doubt, to the difficulties in communication.
We are inclined to think that the report i3 based
upon a concatenation of those strong proba
bilities which always spring from movements
known, from the character of the leader, to be
masterly.

■ Llic Capture of Elarpei’a FerrV.
We extract what follows from the Richmond
Enquirer of Saturday :
The following is an extract from a letter re
ceived from an officer in the Confederate States,
army, dated Harper’s Ferry, Sept. 15,1802:
“ Harper’s Ferry was surrendered to onr
forces about two hours ago. General Miles was
in ccmmaud, with ten thousand men. Their
arms, artillery, stores, Ac., were all surren
dered with the men.
“ It Is reported that General Garland was
killed yesterday in an eng gement which Long
street had with the enemy in Maryland.”
The Lynchburg Republican says that a com
bined movement was made upon Harper’s Fer
ry by theforcesof Jackson, Walker and McCall,
the former re crossing the Potomac at Williams
port, Gen. Walker at Cheat Ford, and General
McCall approaching from the Nnrth, and oper
ating.frotn Maryland Heights, overlooking the
town. Tne several bodies arrived at their’des
tinatlon on Sunday morning, and prepared for
an immediate attack.
The fight commenced about three 6’clock in
the evening and was contested with desperate
I stubborntss until night forced a cessation of
j hostilities. Oar artillery, however, played npon

Tlic Nortli Awakening to Its Danger.
REVO LUTT O N THREATE NE D
The following editorial fnim the New York
Times, is the boldest dunonbtraiion we have
yet seen from that quarter. It confesses that
tho North lias been whipped, that ruin states
her iu the face, that her government (which the
Times helped to eieate) ia a failure, thui a
stronger govern rn - :nt is needed, and that in
these revolutionary time 3 , might will control,
and if L’-ncoln does not come up to tlio public
demand ho will lie overthrown and anew power
Placed at the head of affairs. This is the plain
est talk we have seen, and we cannot account
f>r it except on the hypnlL sia that ilm prnx
iinily of the Coitledera!:* army is gradually
dis[felling the popular apprehension ot La
fayette and Warren. The Times says :
“ The battles of the last year—tho conflicts
in front of Richmond, the retreat of our army
first from their fortifications to the James fiver,
and then from the James river and the Penin
sula to the Rappahannock—the; repulse of our
troops in their march toward Richmond, the
battles by which they covered their retreat to
the Potomac, and the general conduct and up
shot of a year’s campaign, have bcA disastrous
in the highest degree to the Union cause. And
this is known and felt to be the fact by every
man of late!:ironee, from one end of the coun
try to the oth; r.
We might possibly flatter the vanity cf indi
viduals responsibly connected with the army or
the government, if we were to shut our eyes to
this palpable and unmistakable faet. We know
very well the penalty of telling unpleasant
truths. But we know also that, in such a coun
try as this, with such a people as ours, no good
can possibly be accomplished by,the systematic
concealment of facts, however unpleasant, and
that nothing bat disaster and ruin can follow
systematic misrepresentation of current events,
however amiable its motives. The best service
any man, whose bn ine.; - it Is to tell the people
anything, can render them, is :o tell them the
truth.
And the worst service any m..u can render
the government or the country, at this, the
most critical instant of its fate, is tu hood wink
either into the belief that the people are satis
lied with the condition of affairs—that the peo
ple look upon the campaign of the past year as
having been crowned by a “long line of glorious
victories,” and that they will be content to see
the army handled and the government managed
for the year to come as they have been for the
year that is past. Others must select their line
of duty for themselves. We shall incur no
risk of damaging the country by deceiving the
government! It is but little we can do for the
salvation of the Union—but we can at least re
fuse to shut our eyes to its destruction. * *
We tremble to think of what may follow the
successful lodgment of a rebel army on loyal
soil. We do not fear the division of the Union,
so much aa the overthrow of the Government.
No man of ordinary political sagacity can con
ceal from himself the fact that there is a deep,
strong undercurrent of political machination
underlying all the movements of the war, and
giving character and color to the developments
of public opinion. There ahs men North and
South—men of ability, of character, of position,
both civil and military—who look to the possi
bility of saving the Union in other ways than
by simply conquering tho rebels and compell
ing by force their return to their allegiance.—
We need not tell any one that there are meq who
regard this war as having been brought upon
the country by the triumph of the Republican
party, and who do not believe it possible to end
it and preserve the Union, until the results of
that triumph are for the moment set aside, and
thp country has a chance to plant the Govern
ment upon another basis. But we eau tell
President Lincoln that there are meu iu the
army who do not believe the war will end, ex
cept by conceding the independence of the
South, unless the' Government is again restored
to Southern control or a Convention is held to
form a Constitution under which both North
and South can live together in a common Union.
We do not know that any officer in the army
would advocate, o: ia any event aid the execu
tion of suofe a scheme. But we warn the Presi
dent against doing anything directly of indirect
ly, by neglect or by positive acts, to encourage
the development of such a sentiment, or to
stimulate in any heart the toleration of such a
thought. We used not warn him of the abso
lute necessity of crushing the growth of such
treason aud disloyalty in its beginnings. But
we may warn him that this cannot be done by
the exercise of force, but only by the display of
strength on tho part of the Government. What
the people want is a Government adequate to
the emergency—a Government strong enough
to meet any danger, however great—strong in
will, strong in judgment, strong in resources,
and strong in the confidence aud respect of the
people. President Lincoln’s Government is not
strong in any of these respecti.
The country has full faith in his personal in
tegrity, his patriotism, and his sagacity. But
it demands more than this. It demands a cabi
net made up of men, every one of whom shall
constitute strength and courage, and power to
his administration. It demands a Government
which will lead public sentiment, and not seek
slavishly to follow it. It demands a Govern
ment capable of waging war—capable of hell
ing up, in blazing characters before The people.
the objects of the war, of fecliug profoundly,
and of maklng-the people feel, the spirit of the
war; capable of organizing artyies, of select
ing and judging Generals —of overuling their
personal contentions, their professional jeal
ousies, and making them all conducive to the
common good—capable, in a word, of making
out a clear and comprehensive policy suited to
the emergency—of infusing its spirits into the
hearts of the people, and th n, with their aid,
of giving it full and complete success. This is
what the people moan by a strong Government,
and they regard it as the duty cl the President
to give them shell a one.
Upon one thing the country may rely: it is
only such a Government that Can maintain
itself against this rebellion. Any other will be
swept away by a usurpation. We live,' it must
be remembered, in a day of revolution, when
violence and force give the law to national ac
tion, and when strong, bold men will throw
aside forms.and ftsages, however sacred, which
stand in the way of What they may regard as the
welfare of the nation, and place power in hands
that are strong, however they maybe stained
with the blackest aachmost damning guilt.
'Stic Surrender o£ iiarper’s Ferry-
Fur* lier^Varticulars.
From a participant in (lie engagement, the
Richmond Dispatch obtains the following par
ticulars with reference to the investment and
subsequent surrender of Harper’s Ferry r
Gen. Jackson left Frederick on Thursday, taking
the Hagerstown road, and at tha*ame time tho divi
sions of Gons. McLuws and It. H. Anderson moved
from the vicinity of Frederick for the Maryland
Heights, overlooking the town of Harper’s ferry On
Wednesday the d.vision o; General V,'alter was sent
down to destroy the canal aqueduct at the mouth of
the Monocacy, and arrived at the point during that
night. The next morning, early, before they had ac
complished their purpose, an order was received from
Genera! Lee, directing General Walker to proceed
wuh his loicee, by lorced marches, to the Loudoun
Heights, ria Point of Rocks, to prevent the e emy at
Harper’s Fe ry from escaping in Pat direction. The
division crossed the river at Point of Rocks, nine milts
below Harper’s Ferry, and on Friday evening-reached
the position assigned them. Gen. Jackson’s foree
reached Wiliaaisport, on the Potomac, on Friday
morning, and immediately crossed and moved on
Murtiusburg, twenty miles above Harper’s Kerry,
where there were some three or four th ueaae! ot the
CDemt’o forces. On Ihe approach of Gen. Jack'on
this f-rej fell tack, and united with the Puce at Har
per’s Ferry, believed to number about five thousand.
Gen- ral Jackson pursued, and on Saturday morn in
reached Hal!town, four miles southwest of Harper’s
Furry. From this point he d.epached apourier to
Gen. Walker, then in possession of the Heights s >uth
o( the town, directing him not to epea hid guns upon
the enemy s fortifications until he (Gen .).) got in p -
sitio , of which ho pr noised to notify Gent Waiker.
Moanwiile the divisions of VcLaws and Anderson,
after but little resistance had become masters of the
Heights on tho M&ryl&od side, the enemy leaving
them, and ] ining the forces in their entrenchments on
the V irginia side of the river. On Saturday night
Gen. Waiker received orders Iron Gen. Jackson to
op-n fire upon the enemy at da) light on Sunday morn
ing. In obedisoce to this order, at day-dawn the
sti iness of the Sabbath was br ken by the opening of
w eikvr's guns upon the fortifications ._f tne enemy on
Bolivar Heights, two miles aoove the railroad bridge
at Harper’s Ferry At the same time the attack was
made b the fo ces under Gen Jackson, and the fight,
which wai desperate and deierained, continued
throughout the day— chaws and Anderson she Ping
from tne Maryland side. The enemy resisted with
great spirit, and their guns, oi which they hal a lar.e
number in pssiU n, were handled with great iffeci
upon the column ot Sen. Jackson, wh ch hid to ap
proach them through an open space, where their t uus
had unobstruc ed play. The shells from Walker’s
batteries and the impetuous attacks of Jackson’s men
rendered thei'e. trenchments on B livar Heights too
wa-m tor the enemy, and late in the evening they fell
back to Camp Hid, one mile in rear of the Bolivar
fortifications. Here they had heavy guns plan.ed and
ssroeg entrenchments thrown up, but within easy range
of the batteries of McLaws and Anderson, on the op
pome heights. Night coming on, the struggle Ceased,
Jackson’s forces occupying the deserted entrenchments
oq the hips of Bolivar. That night old ‘‘Stonewall”
sent a message to Gen. Waiker that his forces were in
possession of the enemy’s fir:t line of entrenchments,
and that wita God's bie sing, he would have Harper’s
Ferry and the Federal forces early the next morning
At daylight the i ext morning (Monday) the fight was
lenewed, t e enemy still offering an obstinate re.iat
tam,'until about 7 o’ck ck, a. in , whea their colors
were struck and a capitulation proposed. f the terms
oi ibis capitulation *e have learned no particular-,
bat conclude that ihey involved the unconditional sur
render oi the whole force, negroes as well as Talike s. i
Ab at 9 o’clock our forces entered the second line of j
entrench meets—the enemy having surrendered every
thing—guns, ordnance, and commissary stores, Ac. j
The number of the enemy is variously estimated at i
lrom seven to twelve thousand, and the negroes from i
filieen hua 'red to two thousand. The quantity of j
ammunition captured is ioaneme, amounting to sever- ;
ai huadren wagon loads.
