WINCHESTER, Va., sept. 323, 1863.
Mr Editor : I am thus far back on mj return
irom the scene of action at Sharpaburg, Ad.
ItTeaid by all with whom I have conversed to
have been one of the most desperate and hotly
contested battes of the war, and, tor the time
of its duration, probably the most sanguinary.
That it was a despot ate anti sanguinary one, I
can testify from personal observation of the
field the morning alter the contest. The
ground was literally covered with dead and
wounded, on the right, ctnter and left; in a
small grove of woods, a little left of the center,
the Federal dead were lying in heaps. It is a
question of doubt as to which side, if either,
belongs the victory. Our right wing, at fir st,
repulsed the enemy, but, being insufficiently
supported, were eventually driven baefe to their
lines, leaving their dead and wounded together
with those of the enemy, on contested ground,
where neither party could approach to re
lieve the one cr bury the other, without
mutual consent. On the left, we were
eminently successful driving 'the enemy’s
right from its strong position in the woods with
tremendous slaughter. It is impossible for me
to form any estimate of the killed, wounded
and missing, which must have been fearfully
large; but knowing the anxiety of your readers
to learn some of the particulars, I send you a
list of casualties which is of moment to at least
a portion of the readers of the Republican, to-
Twenty-sevenlh Georgia-Killed: Col. Levi
B. Smith, Gapt. J. 0. Becus. (Stark Volunteers,)
an and private Janice fccc.
Nineteenth Georgia—Capt. T. IV. FJjnt, se
verely wounded in the thigh.
Thirty-first Georgia— Lieut. Col. Crowder,
probably mortally wounded. '
Maj. Philip Tracy was wounded in the thigh,
which I learn has blecc been amputated his
recovery is doubtful. (Since writing I learn of
his death.) I think he had just returned to
his command the day of the battle, having been
home from the Richmond fights on a wounded
furlough. , -

Bivcrely; J. Head, sevtreiy; Jas R. Smith,
Blight; C. E. Patterson, W. G. Miles, 11. C.
Reaves, all slightly wounded. Went into ac
tion with 18 men.
In this battle it is said that the enc*iy bad
• every advantage in numbers and position, yet
on the next day (the 18th,) they failed to ronew
the attack, and it. was only upon learning that
they were m&virg their forces with intent to
cross the Potomac at Williamsport and Harper’s
. Ferry, ami thus get in our rear and flank, that
the order te iall back was given. This move
ment was admirably and successfully executed
ou the night of the 18lh. Our whole army re
crossed the Potomac, with all their artillery,
baggage wagons and'stores, and such of the
sick and woumh and, its could bear removal. The
next day the enemy appeared in considerable
force at the ford near Slicpardstown, when our
batteries opened a lively lire of several hours
upon them, with what effect I have not learned.
It is rumored here this morning that apart of
our army bos advanced beyond Martinsburg, on
tlio road to Williamsport. Xam confident that
overy disposition is being made to repel the
enemy should he attempt a further advance
movement. Reinforcements are rapidly going
forward to the arrays end it is not unlikely that
you may hear, before this reaches yon, ot
another Yank 'C defeat.
A largo number of Harper’s Ferry prisoners
dre at this place, and immense quantities of
array stores, field and other artillery capjured
there, are coining IS daily.
I could, but will not, appal your readers with
a picture ol the terrors of war, as I Lava seen
it depicted upon the battle-field and in tliehos
pitnls within the last few days. Very few per
sons removed front.the immediate scene of ac
tion, can icitPzo how much suffering and de
privation ouv ucJde soldiers have to undergo,
or how great in the debt of gratitude which our
couutry will owe them.
God help the Ueravcil orfS; a* hem > to bear
up under the afflictions which this cruel war is
Imposing. I know one instance of a poor widow
woman, iu the neighborhood of my town, who
ha3 lost her two only sous—one in. the recent
battle, the other in a Richmond ho?pita!—her
chief dependmot for -upport. Will not the
Government do something for such persons ?
I forgot tr> mention ia the list of .casualties,
the death of Jolin B Lam ,r, of Macon, a vol
unteer AW to Gen. Cobb,, and a con temporary
iu arms with myself in the Florida war of 1836.
He was killed while in discharge of his duty on
he battle field.

THE SAYAlsriisr -A-ZBI WEEKLY S.A.TTTIR:D_A.ir; OCTOBER 4r, IQSS„
The Florida’* Cruise from Nassau to
mobile.
It was announced some days ago, that the
war steamer Florida (formerly Oreto) had run
the gauntlet of the blockading fleet at Mobile,
and passed under the guus of Fort Morgan.
We have received, flora a correspondent on
board, a highly interesting and Grilling account
of her adventures on the voyage, which, in
justice to the brave men who encountered such
perils, should bo known to the public. There
are few such acis of dauntless heroism ou re
cord, and they mark Captain Maflit as the man
for the time. Such gallant conduct should
meet with a grateful and practical recognition
on the part of his government, and we hope it
will not be slow iu according what all must re
gard as purely a reward of merit.— [Ed. Rep.
Mobile, Sept. 24th, 1862.
I *** * * *
The ’ Oreto” was seized, released, and again
seized, and learning that through the eflorts of
the Lincoln agents it was determined again to
take possession of her and send her to England
for anew trial, we slipped from the hawser of
fl. M. ship , and on the night of the 9th f
with eleven deckhands aud five firemen and
coal heavers—all that money and cunning could
obtain—drifted with the tide under the shadow
of the land some eight miles, and thus the
Yankee cruisers hovering around us were
evaded. A schooner with our guns on board
was awaiting us outside, and taking her in tow
we dashed down the ‘‘Tongue of the Ocean,”
and were soon where no Yankee officer dared
to follow us. Threading our way through in
numerable rocks and shoals, with many narrow
escapes, we anchored among them, and all
hands—only fourteen in all—went to work with
a hearty good will. In four days we got the
guns, etc., on board. Imagine our misery
wben we discovered that neither rammers,
sponges, sights, beds, quoins, passing boxes or
magazine equipments hud come along with
them, and that on the day following the yellow
fever appeared in all its horrors. There was
no physician on board and the case was fatal.
On the 10th two more new eases. You can
sympathise with us in our sad plight. We had
scarcely men enough on board to handle the
ship ; the circles to the pivot guns did not fit.
Yankee cruisers all about; disease on board,
and no help at hand but the indomitable energy
'of cur Captain, who, in addition to his many
duties, was nursing the sick. It was determ
ined to run for Cardenas, iu Cuba, as the most
healthy and secluded port, in the hope of pick
ing up a few seamen and getting medical aid,-
and in the night .the sh’p was gotten underway
and steered close along the- breakers, passing
over the banks with considerable risk. On the
ii’ght of the 18lh made Cardenas Light and the
Yankee gunboats; at one o’clock on the morn
ing of the 19th entered llie harbor. Oar crew,
by this time, were reduced to three ifien on
deck and one fireman, who bad been on duty
for eleven hours. On UieHOih the yellow fever
had full possession of the ship, and an officer
was sent to Havana to endeavor to get men.
On the 21st our Captain was taken down, and
soon thereafter given up as a hopeless case. He
remained insensible for several days, but a
merciful Providence was with him, and he re
covered his consciousness to find his much
loved son in a dying condition beside him.
Poor Laurens!-lie died at sundown, and just
after him four seamen and the 3d Assistant En
gineer.
* In the meantime, the Yankee Consul, Gen.
Shufeldt, had got wind of our wheaboutand
despatched five gunboats to cut ns off and hem
the Oreto in port. Wc obtained tw%nty-four
laborers, and tupping our anchor ran the gaunt
let, getting clear to sea without mishap. A
poor little Spanish passenger steamer, coming
out two hours before u?, was mistaken for the
“Oreto” by the Yankees and peppered for
thirty-six miles. The enemy, supposing that
we would run -for Charleston, increased their
force about Abaca, the Florida passages, and
eff Wilmington and Charleston, and Comman
der Guert Gansvoort, in the Adirondack, iff his
zeal to head us off aud capture us, was totally
wrecked. ® * * * * On the
4;h at 3 p. m., we made Mobile Light and three
smart looking blockaders watching tho port.
We got up a full head of steam and tried to
arrange our guns for at least one 6hot, but
could not. Every preparation was then made
to set fire to the ship in case of necessity, and
combustibles were got ready in ten different
places, our brave little ship standing boldly
in towards the enemy. Meanwhile the cruisers
ran out to meet us, forming themselves in a
triangle about us, withholding their fire, as we
still kept aloft the red cross of old England,
and they hesitated for a moment or two to make
up their minds as to our nationality. We were
now so near that their conversation could be dis
tinctly heard on board, and a midshipman ot
the mast head sung out, “She is not English,
there are only a few men on her deck.” At
this the beggars blazed away at us, knocking
about fourteen hammocks out ot the nettings,
and then striving to head U3 off; but Captain
Maflit ordered the men at the helm to steer
right for the starboard bow of the nearest ves
sel., and not liking the looks of-things our Yan
kee friend sheered bringing the two vessels
in a line—just what we tvauted. At this time
we hauled down the British ensign and ran up
the Confederate flag, and then commenced up
on us a shower of shot, shell and shrapnel that
made everything crack again. It was a perfect
ball storm, and wo not able to return their Are,
though if we had been fully manned and equip
ed we could have polished them off handsomely.
Finding they held their own with us, our men
were ordered aloft to makefs&il, which they did
with a rousing cheer, though the shell were
bursting iu the rigging, catting it away and
wonndiugqhe men. • *
A parrot shell entered the cabin. An eleven
inch, shell struck us amidships, grazed the boil
er?, and deflecting forward, took Tiff the headaif
one of cur best men, severely wounding three
others. All our boats were pierced, sides
hammock rail, emoke stack and masts tilled with
shrapnel. After making sail, all the men were 11
sent below, except the officers who were re
tained on deck. Thus we stood on for two
hours and eighteen minutes. The walls of Fort
Morgan were thronged with officers and men,
aud oar safety was greeted with cheers. Alj
behaved nobly. Four days after our arrival, poor
Stabling, (Ist Lieutenant,) who was about to
start to see his wife, was taken down with fever
and did iu thirty-six hours. He was a gallant
gentleman and excelient Christian. ‘ X.
Pope's Officer*—ltonsou* lor tticlr
Release.
Tho Richmond Enquirer gives the following
explanation of the release of Pope’s officers, an
nonuced some days rgo :
Ninety-seven of PopaVofflcers, being all that
were captured in the - recent battles onjheKai)
pahaunock and Potomac, were yesterAy s e ut
od to \arino, on James River, below Ricnmoud
ob parole. This action was taken in conse
quence ot the explicit declaration, froij the
highest military authority of the Yankee Gov
ernment, that the orders of Gen. Pope, to which
exception had been taken by President Davis
were no longer in force. The reason for their
detention, according to the proclamation of
President Davis, no leaser existing, they stood
upon precisely the same looting as other Yan
kee officers, and were, therefore, subject to
parole and exchange. Our readers are doubt
less aware of the ground upon which the close

The officers w- r to be allowed to go out with

A inur-n iro! tli-approbation tan along the
whole line when it. became known that we had
sum inn-red. ’• •• ,\f Gra.a burst into tears,
exclaiming, ‘T> v , vo have got no country
now.” Other offi • exhibited a correspond
ing degree of grin , vailc the soldiers were de
cidedly demonstrative in th-.-.fr manifestations of
rage. Yet., what e >u! i b r done ? Rebel bat
teries were opened on a i o -m seven different
directions, and there was no hop- •(' reinforce
ments reaching us
I afterwards ascertained irom Uoulederate of
ficers that the forces which beleagured ns were
not far short of one hundred thousand. - Gen.
D. H. Hill’s army, consisting of several divi
sions, was posted on the Maryland Heights, and
General Walker, Jvith several brigades, ou Lou
d(4nn. Those directly in front of ns were com
manded by Jackson and A. P. Hill, and consist
ed, among others, of Jackson’s old division,
now commanded by Gen. Stark, (at present
under ar-est,) Ewell’s division, Gen. Gregg]s
South C’-rrolina Brigade, numbering six regi
ments, Gen. Branch’s Brigade of North Caro
linians, Oen. Pindar’s and Arcby’s Brigades,
Second Louisiana and Second and Third Virginia
Brigades.
As soon as the terms of surrender were com
pleted, Gens. A. P. Hill Jackson rode into
the town, accompanied by their staffs, and fol
lowed by a troop of Loudoun soldiers, who
straightway commenced looking for “those
and and Loudoun guerillas,”, referring to Capt.
Means’ Union coinpaoy, who were fortunately
cot to be found. Gen. Hill immediately took
up his headquarters in the tavern stand, next to
Col. Miles’. Old “Stonewall,” after riding
down to the river, returned to Bolivar Heights,
the observed of all observers. He was dressed
in the coarsest kind of homespun, seedy and
dirty at that (wore an old hat, which any
Northern beggar would consider an insult to
have offered him, and in his general appearance
was in no respect to be distinguished from the
mongrel, barefooted crew who follow his for
tunes.
THE FORCE SURRENDERED.
As 60on as Jackson returned from the village,
our entire force was mustered on Bolivar, pre
paratory to stacking arms and delivering over
generally. They comprised 11,582 men, includ
ing 800 of the First Maryland Home Brigade,
and 500 of the Third Maryland Home Brigade.
All of the calvary, numbering about two
thousand, under the command of Colonel Davis,
cat their way out Saturday evening, going by
the road to Sharpsburg, and capturing, on its
way, Longstreet’s train and more than a hun
dred Drisoners. The comprised the following:
Eighth New York, Twelfth Illinois, Rhode Isl
and and Maryland. They left at 9 o’clock,
crossing to Maryland on the pontoon bridge
Rebel pickets fired on them as they passed by.
The artillery taken comprised the following:
Twelve 8 inch rifled guns, six James’, six
24-pound howitzers, four 20-pound Parrott
guns, six 12 pound guns, four 12 pound howit
zers, two 10 inch Dahlgrens, one 50-pound Par
rott, six G-ponnd guns, and several pieces of
“Fremont’s guns,” of but little value.
Seven ot the whole number were thoroughly
spiked. But few horses were taken, the caval
ry having secured most of them. The commis
sary department comprised six days’ rations for
twelve thousand men. This embraces nearly
all the government property which was surren
dered.
The commissary stores and other property
seized were hurried out of the town as fast as
possible, indicating fear of an attack from our
forces near by.
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE REBEL OFFICERS.
No sooner had the rebels taken possession of
our camps, than officers and men, of both ar
mies, sat down to friendly conversation, which
was kept up during most of the day. It may
be said to their honor, that the “rebels” con
ducted themselves in the most unexceptionable
manner, from the highest officer down. Your
correspondent spent several hours in agreeable
conversation, sounding them on the great ques
tion and other matters. “We have,” said a
South Caroliua captain, “150,000 men on Mary
land soil, but we do not come as an army of in
vasion. You go your way and we will go ours.”
“What do you think about pushing us to the
wall now ?” playfully remarked another to me.
“How about that ‘onward to Richmond,' ” in
quired a third. “Cincinnati is ours, and so will
Washington soon be,” said a Georgian.
A Virginia secessionist informed me that
Ewell was wounded at Manassas, and is now at
Winchester. Lee they considered their most
able General, Jackson the best for speedy
marches and dashes. Beauregard had not fallen
into disgrace, but was out of health. Magruder
was drank at Malvern Hill, and had been trans
ferred to another command. “Had it not been
for him aud another drunken General, we
should have bagged McClellan and his whole
force at that time.”
Siegel was considered among “ his country
men” our ablest General. McClellan’s strategy
no one feared. “llow about that last retreat,”
they said, has become a by-word with all our
soldiers. Pope was execrated by all. He thought
him an able General, but constantly leaving
gaps open.
“The only difference between us aud yau,”
said a rebel Colonel, “js, that you magnify your
forces in the field, while we keep our estimates
down.” The most severe battle of the war for
the number engaged, was that fought before
Charleston. “Jeff. Davis is very much behiud
tho people in h!s measures.”
Here I asked of a South Carolinian; are you
going to keep your Southern Confederacy to
gether on the States rights theory ?
“Give us a chance and we will show yon,” he
retorted. “If we don’t make R work, w-e may
return to the old Union, but not with Abraham
Lincoln as President.” The privates informed
me that they had no tent equippage, and fre
quently marched twenty-five miles or more a
day, but we are content. “We are lighting for
our country. What are you fighting for ?” in
quired a North Carolinian of me.
Who could have believed on looking at those
groups-of men scattered over the fieldseating,
drinking and conversing together, that they had
in one short hour before been engaged in dead
ly conflict ?
RESULTS OF THU VICTORIES.
The correspondent of the Philadelphia Press
writes:
The victories gained arc substantial, the cap
tures important, hut the decisive battle has yet
to be fought. The road to Richmond is an
open one lor ns now, and if the people will
make one more effort to reinforce our leaders
with men and confidence, and Providence gives
ns a little fair weather, General McClellan will
be in Gordonsville ten days hence, and in Rich
mond before the first hard freeze.
Oar losses have been very heavy, but ouV
army is so large that the nine thousand “killed,
wounded and missing” will not retard our ad
vance any. The loss in the army will be most
bitterly telt iujlorthern families.
LOSS OF GENERAL OFFICERS
The following is a complete list of casualties
among the Yankee general officers in t{ie bat
tle in Western Maryland:
Major General Hooker, wounded in the foot;
Major General Sedgwick, wounded severely in
three places; Major General Redman, mortally
wo ix! ued ; Mr jor General Richardson, wound
ed in shoulder severely; Brigadier General
Mansfield, killed*; Brigadier General Hartsuff,
severely ; Brigadier General Dana, slight; Brig
adier General Weber, Brigadier Gen. Meagher
and Brigadier Gtn. Dnryea, all slightly wound

rOPE AND HIS BKOTIIEB SAVAGES.
General Pope telegraphs from the West .that

regiments of volunteers mounted to pursue the
Indian war parties.
THE COMING STATE ELECTION IN NEW YORK.
The New York Herald fays the coming elec
tionsln that Slate for Governor and other offi
cers will be vastly important “the struggle
will be marked with extreme violence.” It
adds ; j .
The Democrats have united their discordant
elements upon a conservative basis, and have
selected as candidate for Governor, Horatio Sey
mour. The Republicans have not yet made
their nomination, or announced the principles
oa which the campaign is to be conducted on
their part. But it i3 understood that the con
servative element in the party—including Mr.
Seward and Thurlow Weed—has been defeated
and crushed, and that the radicals will “rule
the roost.” Their journals in this city are
coming out in very remarkable articles, shaping
tho issue, and laboring hard to bring the whole
party over to their sanguinary and revolutionary
views.
The Tribune of yesterday, for example, pres
ents the bloody programme of extermination of
the* white race of the South, as did Thaddeus
Stevens 3 short time ago, in the House of Re
presentatives.
*****
* These developments foreshadow their plat
form and their determination to nominate a
man for Governor as insatiable for blood as
themselves. It is stated that they consider
Fremont a man of that stamp, and that he is to
be the candidate of their choice. The present
Governor, Mr. Morgan, is spoken of;; but it is
evident that he has little chance. It is more
than probable that Fremont is so be their man.
It the radical leaders should succeed in com
pletely altoiitionizing the Republican party and
nominating General Fremont, a siDgolar state
of things would be presented to the people.—
Two parties would then be in the field, both
bitterly hostile to the Administration, bat the
Radicals more bitter than the Democrats. Their
beautiful programme is universal emancipation, j
the arming of the slaves, servile insurrection,
massacre of 'he kite race, and turning the
whole Bourn mio "a waste howling Wilde r
ness ;” ana i; the Adminisiration will not fol
low their leading they will seek to overthrow
it by revolution, and carry out this ferocious
and vindictive policy by a dictatorship. Upon
such principles will they appeal to the people,
aud already they are preparing to stir up the
worst passions of human nature in advance.
ONE CHANCE LEFT TO AVOID A DICTATOR.
A dictator is staring the North in the lace.
The Philadelphia Mercury points to Fremont
as the man, and.fears ire has a large support for
the place. His spe?eh at St. Louis, declaring
that the “people” should have their way in de
fiance of the “red tape at Washington,” i3
hailed as a shadow of the coming event. It im
plores the country to support the Democracy
in ousting the Republicans and saving the
“Union.”
Powers of the Military. ,
Letter from Alexander If. Stephens
[From the Atlanta Confederacy.)
Richmond, Va , Sept. 8, 1802.
Hon. James M. Calhoun, Atlanta, Qm.:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 28th ult., to
Hon. B. H. Hill, wa3 submitted to me by him a
few days ago, for my views as to the proper
answer to be made to your several inquiries
touching your powers and duties in the office
of civil Governor of Atlanta, to which yon have
been appointed by G n. Bragg. I took the let
ter with the promise to write to you fully upon
the whole subject This, therefore, is the ob
ject of my now writing to you. I regret the
delay that has occurred in the fulfillment of my
promise. It has been occasioned by the press
of other engagements, aud I now find my lime
too short to write as fully as I could wish. The
subject is one of great importance, and this, as
well as matters of a kindred sort, have given
me deep concern for some time past.
I am not at all surprised at your being at a
loss to know wbat your powers and duties are
in your new position, and your inability to find
anything in any written code of laws to enlight
en you upon them. The truth is, your office is
unknown to the law. Gen. Bragg had no more
authority for appointing you civil Governor of
Atlanta, than I had; and I had, or have, no
more authority than any street walker in your
eity. Under his appointment, therefore, you
can rightfully exercise no more power than if
the appointment had been made by a street
walker.
We live under a Constitution. That Constitu
tion was made for war as well as peace. Under
that Constitution wa have civil laws and mili
tary laws; laws for the civil authorities and laws
far the military. The first are to bo found in the
Statutes at Large, and the latter in the Rules
and Articles of War. But in this country there
is no such thing as martial law, and cannot be
until the Constitution is set aside, if such an
evil day shall ever come upon U3. All the law
making power in the Confederate States Gov
ernment is vested in Congress. Bat Congrfts
cannot declare martial lav?, which in its proper
sense is nothing but an abrogation of all laws.
If Congress cannot do it, much less can any
officer of the Government, either civil or mili
tary, do it rightfully, from the highest to the
lowest. Congress may, in certain cases specified,
suspend the writ of Hacbas Corpus, but this by
no means interferes with the administration of
justice so far as to deprive any party arrested of
nis right to a speedy and public trial by a jury,
after indictment, >Sje. It does not icesen or
weaken the right of such party to redress for
an illegal arrest. Itdoes not authorize arrests
except upon oath or affirmation upon probable
cause. It or.ly secures the party beyond mis
adventure to 'appear in person to answer the
charge and prevent any preliminary inquiry as to
the formality or legality of his arrest. Itdoes not
infringe or impair his other constitutional rights’
These Congress-cannot impair by law. The Con
stitutional guarrantees are above and beyond the
reach or power of Congress, and much more,
if it could be, above and beyond the power of
atiy officer of the Government. Your appoint
ment, therefore, in my opinion, is simply a
nnllily. You, by virtue of it, possess no right
ful authority, and can exercise none. The order
creating you Civil Governor of Atlanta, was a
most palpable usurpation. 1^ speak of the act
only in a legal and constitutional sense ; not of
the motive that prompted it. But a wise peo
ple, jealous of their rights, would do well to
remember, as Deloline so well expressed it,
that “such acts, so laudable when we only con
sider tho motive of them, make a breach at
’which Tyranny will one day enter,” if quietly
submitted to lorg. Now then, my opinion is,
if any one be brought before you for punish
ment for selling liquor to a soldier,or any other
allegation, where there is no law against it, no
law passed by the proper lawmaking power,
either s'ate or Confederate, and where as* a
matter of course you have no legal or rightful
authority to punish either by fine, corporeally,
&c., you should simply make this response to
brings him or her, as the esse may be; one who
that you have ao jurisdiction of the matter com
plained of.
A British Queen (Anne) was once urged by
the Emperor of Russia to punish one of her
officers for what his Majesty considered an act
of indignity to his Ambassador to her court,
though the officer had violated no positive law.
The Queen’s memorable reply was that “she
could inflict no punishment upon any’, the
meanest of her subjects, unless warranted by
the law of the land.”
This is an. example you miriit well imiiato
For I take it for granted that no one will .pre
tend that any General in command of oar ar
mies conld eonfer upon you or anybody.greater
powers than the Rultng Sovereign of England
possesses in like cases under similar circum
stances. The case referred to in Eagtand gave
rise to a change of the law. After that an act
was passed exempting foreign Ministers from
arrest. So with ns. If the proper discipline
of tho army require that the sale of liquor to a
soldier by a person not connected with the
S’rmy should be prohibited (which I do not mean
to question in the slightest degree) let tho firohi
bition be declared by law, passed by Congress,
with the pain3 and penalties for a violation of
it, with the mode and manner of trying the
offense plainly set forth. Until this is done, no
one has any authority to punisiriu such cases ;
aud any one who undertakes to do if. is a tres
passer and a violator of the law. Soldiers in
the service, as well as the officers, are subject
to the Rules and Articles of War, and if they
commit any offense known to the military code
therein prescribed, they are liable to be triad
and punished aesording to the law made for
their government. If these Rules and Articles
of War; or in other words, if the military code
f*>r the government of the army is defective in
any respect, it ought to be amended by Con
gress. There alone the power is vested. Neither
Generals nor their Provost Marshals have any
power to make, alter or modify laws either
military or civil; nor can they declare what
shall be crimes either military or civil, or es
tablish any tribunal to punish what they may so
declare. AH these matters belong to Congress;
and I assure you, in my opinion, nothing is
more essential to the maintenance and preser
vation of constitutional liberty than that the
military be ever kept subordinate to the civil
authorities.
You then have my views hastily but pointed
lv given. Alek. H. Stephens.
(From the Richmond Whig; 25th. J
The Battle at Botelerto mill.
The tight, Saturday la?t, on the Potomac, between
Gen. Jackson’s corps and a column of th enemy took
place in the immediate vlcity of Bqtelet\s Mill, by
which designation Ihe battle will probably bs record
od. It was aatHher Bail’s Blsff affair, as we learn
Irotn various sources.
Tne Lynchburg Republican of yesterday has tome in
teresting details of the battle. It says that on Satur
day morning, Gen. Jackson, who still held the north
bank cf tlie Potomac near Shepberdstown, became
aware that a heavy column, commanded by Burnside,
had arrived on the opposite bank, and was preparing
to attack him. Gen. J. concealed his troops as well as
possible, ro as to show but a small force, leading the
enemy to believo their cap;ure would be an easy mat
ter. A battery of lour pieces was placed on a hill in
close proximity to the river, bat the artillerists were
ordered to fire only one round, and then to abandon
their guns. The inse had the desired effect. Four
brigades of the enemy rushed across the river, and to
wards the guns, when Jackson precipitated his whole
force upon them, as with the power of an avalanche.
The enemy were literally mowed down, and their en
tire body neaily anniiated. Our informant states that
'the slaughter was the most terrific ever known, in so
short a space of time. Many of the poor wretch; s en
deavored to regain tha toath lank cf the river, but
were slain in the attempt, and we are assured tint so
great was the number of the dead, tha, the stream was
almo-t dammed upby their bodies.
Abhut 1,500 nrisone-s were taken, and of tho whole
force, estimated at ten thousand, not more, it is 111 .u.hg
than tiio thousand escaped.
Oar own losses are lepretented t* be very inconsid
erable, but the ex:ent was not p-ecisely known. It was
supposed, however, that two hundred and fifty" killed,
wounded and missing, is a large estimate.
Thus has the itmusible Stonewall- and his brave
band added anoth<r imperishable leaf te the already
lustrous chaplet which encircles their trows.
The Dispatch gives a similar account, and
adds:
A gentleman who left Shepberdstown after the fight,
says that we captured eonSe thirty or torty pietCs of
spien-iid artillery In this fight.
We think we are justified in saying that the situation
of our army is encouraging, and such as to warrant
the conviction that our prospects are decidedly more
cheering than before the great battle at Sharpsburg.
McClellan will probably not be anxious to renew the
contest.

Tbr Confederate Seal.
tho following iill, reported by the Commit
tee on Flag and Seal, lias passed the Senate :
An Act establishing the Seal of the Confeder
ate States.
The Congress of the Confederate Mates of Ameri'
ca do enact, That the device on the seal of the
Confederate States shall be: In the foreground,
a Confederate soldier in the position?- of charge
bayonet; in the middle distance, a <voinan with
a child by her fide, in front of a church, both
with hands uplifted in the attitude of prayer;
on a background, a homestead on the plain,
with mountains in the distance, beneath the
meridian sun; the whole surrounded by a
wreath composed of tie.: stalk ot ttte sugar cane,
the rice, the cotton, and tobacco plants—the
margin inscribed with tho words, “Seal of the
Oonlederate States of America” above, and the
motto, “Oar Homes and our Constitutions,”
beneath.
We conversed freely with a great many ot the
returned prisoners that were here last week,
ajad without an exception, they are all anxious
to be placed in front of the Yankee foe. Ti.uy
are perfectly “tigerish” and all they ask for ia
a chance to whip the Yankees. They are so
vaveneous for a fight that very few even, ex
press a wish for a short furlough to go home.
They are anxious to be taken immediately to
Nashville where they can get a chance at Buell’s
army. From the looks of the men we believe
they would slay everything before them.
