4 OORKKS3?OXX) KNGK Of the Savannah J.epublican. file Battle of SUarplmr{j, !<>• 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. , - Thirteenth Georgia, Comply A—Killed : IV. F. Pope, C. E. Milner, Geo. Justice, W.P. Irvin, j’ B. Edmonds, 11. D. Williamson, M. L. Green. Wounded: Lieut. J. It- Mathews, arm broken; Serg’t J. C. Alien, head, slight; 3erg’t J Means, hip, slight; Corp’f J. 11. Howell, side, slight; Corp’l W. D. Manghatu, arm broken ; Privates Auderson, slight; J. A. Bankston, grapeshot in side; Win.

Wounded: Serg’t J. W. Leach, severely; Serg’t Jas. A. Head, slight; John H. Lane, arm, slight; Goo. W. Champion, arm, slight; M. P. Bond, severely; J.>B. A. Ogktree, severely, Geo. W. Ward 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.

IChat, Bcbd, 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 ,*! of Pope’s officers was placed.— t2s rM'i er ?“‘ <;nl ’ , ulsva J s anxious to conduct ! ‘ e acknowledged usages of , A w at'are, was forced, t>v the highest , s Sf KSfi iLfe forced upon hint bv the bw ot reta bation.

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 ed. . rOPE AND HIS BKOTIIEB SAVAGES. General Pope telegraphs from the West .that the Indians are more formidable than he*an ticlpated, and asks for authority to have two 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.

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. [Vicksburg Whig. Gen.
