Of tho BavaunEh Republican.
Camp near Winchester, Sept. 29,1862.
Mr. Editoi': We have fallen back to this point,
but for what object, ie known only to the com
manding Generals. We effected this retrogarle
movement in a day and a half—a distance of
about twenty-five miles, down the beautiful
and level “ Valley of Virginia.” I bad beard
much of this region from my “eoldier friends,”
who described it as tho “garden spot” cf Vir
ginia. It is, indeed, a beautiful country, level
as the low lands of Georgia, fertile, well water
ed, and lined on either side by blue ranges of
hills and towering mountains, which, In places,
give it quite a romantic appearance. But with
all its boasted loveliness, the Valley of Virginia,
as far as I have seen it, falls far short of that
portion of Maryland through which we passed.
Here in our view was presented rugged heights,
sylvan woods, rich, fertile valleys, winding
streams, and water fails. Upon every hill
browsed flocks cf rJieep and herds of cattle;
while here and there, in close proximity, were
the stately stone or briek mansions, capacious
barns and farm houses o! the rich old farmers.
Here, too, we fared better than elsewhere we
have been. Mill; at five cents per quart, batter
at ten cents per pound, bacon at ten cents, bread,
honey and vegetables were furnished us in
abundance. Meals were furnished for the ask
ing and where they would not take Confed
erate money, they gave us what we wanted.
Hence, in part, the general regret felt by the
army akleaving Maryland. The majority, after
giving the Yankees such a whipping at Sharps
burg, cannot understand the necessity of falling
back. After abandoning Harper’s Ferry, it be.
came necessary to prevent a threatened flank
movement.
After the many contradictory reports, it is
positively ascertained that onr captures at Har
per’s Ferry amounted, in the aggregate, to
11,000 prisoners, 73 pieces of artillery, 200
wagons, and a large amount of qudrtermaster’s
and commissary’s stores. There were six field
batteries, with perhaps four hundred horses
and their harness. I saw a good many of the
captured articles, rueh a3 overcoats, haver
sacks, pistol scabbards, &c., which were appro
priated by the men after the surrender. The
prisoners were paroled, and the place held long
enough only to transport the captured proper
ty to the rear.
As usual, the Northern papers claim all their
defeats as “brilliant victories of McClellan.”
True, we gave back at the Gap near Boones
boro’ under a tremendous pressure, but Gen.
Lee's object tv is fully accomplished, viz: the
prevention of reinforcements reaching (ieneral
Miles at Harper’s Ferry. In this view of the
case our forces gamed a victory, although we
lost the ground and suffered severely in killed,
wounded and missing. It is said that the ene
my snfferC<BTen more than wc did in killed
and woun<M%
In the l'ollfllayß , battles, we lost qnite a nura
ber of good officers, bat nothing to compare
with the Federal#. They acknowledge two
Generals killed and eleven wounded ! To use
the language of a “plain, practical” man,
“most of their old he Generals have been
killed, and wo have but little to fear from their
new ones.” Certainly their officers are brave,
bat their men Bre cowardly, or which is equiva
lent, they are cowed by defeat In the fiirbt ol
Wednesday evening, when Col. BennSng’s lit
tle band of three or four hundred defeated as
many thousands, one regiment of Federal# ad
vanced, delivered one volley, aud “ retired ” !
Capt. Twiggs was captured, but was paroled
iu u tew days, with about live hundred others.
Ho says the Fede.al officers with whom he con
versed of Gen. McClellan’s staff, admit thrir
loss in the several battles of tpe week lobe
thirty-one thousand. This, of course, includes
the Harper’s Ferry prisoners. Tc.-y have an
exalted opinion of Southern chivalry. They say
our soldiers act m >re like Juo!s than rational
men, because we rush upon nearly every battery
which they dare to expose, and attack superior
numbers regardless of consequences.
lam happy to be able to state that Captain
Arnold, of the “Sidney Browns” is not mortally
wounded, though his wound isdoutuless, a dan
gerous one. While I rejoice that this noble and
gifted young Georgian ins been spared to ren
der further services in his country’s defence, I
am greived to the heart at the Sad Inteßlgcuee
of the death of Lieut. Robert Jordan, ot the
same company, and brother ot the lamented
“Bee” Jordan, whose death I mentioned in my
tetter from below Richmond.
Lieut. Robert Jordan was Aid to Gen. Col
quitt, and had distinguished himself In every
battle by riding through the most tremendous
showere of balls and grape, while carrying or
ders to the different regiments of the brigade.—
I have been unable to obtain full particulars of
his death, and give the following brief account
which 1 obtained irom Mr. Joel P.rrv, an iutel
llgent member of thefi.h Georgia. Gen. D. II
Hill wanting orders carried to a particular
point where It seemed the enemy had
concentrated his heaviest the, and knowing
Jordan’s dauntless courage, requested him
to except the tnission. Jordan dashed
forward* like a Murat or a Ney, and had
scarcely reached the point of danger when a
fatal Minieball entered just below the right eye
and ranged backward and upward. He had
previously received a ball in his right side. He
did not fall immediately from his horse. He
reeled and struggled for some minutes, as if to
maintain his saddle until his mission was per
formed. But the wound was fatal, and Robert
Jordan fell a corpse to the ground ! H;s horse
went fifteen steps further and was shot dead.
His corpse was brought this side of the river
and buried with due honors, beside several
other diadugnished dead.
Robert Jordan was an exemplary member of
the Methodist Church, and practised what he

Maryland—Her Sympathisers and
Situation.
BETTER FROM GOVERNOR LOWE.
Winchester, Sept. 25,1863.
To the Editor of the Despatch : . . ,
fWuctaiH as I feel to appear as an at ologDt,
I am nevertbless constrained to correct, a grave
and dangerous misapprehension JjK IjDK from
Public °' c %,££ ™yoV!Z
the passage of me Government, through
western border. ® he Cotnman der in-Chiet of
the_ proclamation o p eop i e „ Maryland,hae
the .army ad } ts determimal •■. to afford ,
themin' opportunity of deciding their political
S it is essentially necessity that there
.hnuld be no misunderstanding or prejudgment.
rt the present occasion be lost, it may never
aeain be recovered. It becomes a wise people
and the statesmen who control their Interests
to avoid hasty conclusions. In my letter to the
Legislature of Virginia, last winter, I gave the
solemn assurance that the people of Maryland
would, by an overwhelming majority, unite
with their bretheren of the South in establish
ing the independence of the Confederate States,
if the chains were stricken from their limbs and
armß placed in their hands. The experience of
every day since has only confirmed this opinion.
lam therefore distressed and troubled by the
manifestations of dissatisfaction at the suppos
ed nnlavoruble reception of the army by our
people. I thick I shall be able to show that
suen a complaint is unfounded and unreason
able. It is well known in Richmond (outside,
at least, of official circles,) that the advance of
the army into Maryland took every one by sur
prise. All supposed that such an advance would
be made, but none anticipated so early an reali
zation of their hopes. As soon as notified of
the fact, I left Richmond and pressed forward
towards the army with all the speed which the
most imperfect means of transportation could
afford On my arrival here, I ascertained that
General Lee had left Frederick with the army
on his march to Hagerstown. I had the pleas
ure of meeting him for a few hours only on my
native soil. For wise reasons, apparent to all,
this able commander immediately afterwards
recroesed his army to the South bank of the
Potomac, after having spent but a few days in
two of the extreme western counties of Mary
land, during which he captured a large and
splendidly equipped army at Harper’s Ferry,
and gained a brilliant victory over the main
body of the enemy at Sharpsbnrg. I only par
ticipate in the universal hope and belief of the
people that the genius of the commander and
the unbroken spirit of his troops will soon lul
fill the promise of his proclamation to the
people of Maryland. j
The people of Maryland had no notice of the
advance of the Southern troops. When General
Lee was in Frederick he was forty-five miles
from the city of Baltimore—a city surrounded
by Federal bayonets, jealously guarded by an
armed Federal police, and lying in the shadow
of Fort McHenry and of two powerful fortifica
tions Incited within the limits of the corpora
tion. The advance of the army reached Freder-ek
on Saturday, and on the Wednesday following
the army moved off towards Hagerstown, and
became engaged in the investment ot Harper’s
Ferry ar.d the battles ot Boonesboro’ and Sharps
bnrg, after which it immediately returned to
Virginia, where it now is. Thus the fact simply
K that the army made a hasty passage through
two of the remote counties of the Slat *, name
ly : Frederick and Washington, together with
Carroll and Alleghany, are well known to con
tain nearly the whole of the Union or Black Re
puhlican population to be found in Maryland.
And yet I will say here, that even in the two
cotrotpjn first above mentioned there will be a
decided majority cast in favor of the South
whenever reasonable time for organization and
afree ballot-box shall be secured to the people.
I was boru and have lived the greater part of
my life in Frederick county, and can speak ad
visedly on this sublect.
Now, sir, please look at the map of Mary
land, consider well the circumstances above
briefly alluded to, and say if it was possible for
Baltimore city to respond to the proclamation
of G* rt. Lee, or the eight counties of the East
ern Shore, divided from the western through
out their entire length bv the Chesapeake Bay;
or the counties of rft. Mary’s, Charles, Prince
George’s, Culvert, Anne Atundel, Howard, and
Montgomery, all within striking distance of
Washington City, with McClellan’s army ad
vance to Poolsville; or Biltimore or Hartford
counties, within the Federal lines, and beyond
the reach of support. Consider that the people
of Maryland never had arms or ammunition —
that for fifteen monlbs their houses have been
searched, and their private arms taken from
them—that they have not been permitted to
hold meetings, public or private—that they have
been completely isolated, and constantly sub
jected to the most vigilant espionage—tnat no
effort at organization could possibly be made—
that in this condition of things our army sud
denly appears in a remote portion of the State,
and as quickly disappears. Surely, sir, no rea
sonable man could expect an uprising of the
people of Maryland under such circumstances.
Shall we apply to Maryland a less lenient test
of loyalty than to New Orleans or Norfolk, or
the many towns and districts of the Sou h
which have fallen under the Federal dominion ?
Shall we judge Frederick and Washington
counties more severely than we do the many
disaffected counties of Virginia, Kentucky.
Tennessee, and other Slates even farther South?
Shall we condemn the loyal Srate because it
contains a disloyal minority ? No just cr pru
dent man say so. I.think I have already said
enough to vindicate my unfortunate State.
There Is, however, another important view to
be considered. It was impossible for the peo
ple of Maryland to know whether the entrance
of the array was intended to be a mere raid or
a substantial occupation for their relief. Gen.
Lee’s proclamation was intended to assure them
of the latter; but, before it could accomplish
that object, military necessities carried the
army away. Even, therefore, bad it been
in the power of the people to rise, (and I
have shown that it was not,) they certainly
had a right to know, before doing so, wheth
er they would be properly supported in the
attempt, W left, unarmed and unorganized
to pay the penalty of an abortive effort.
We all know that to make such an effort and
fall, would be Inevitably to bring down u; u
them the redoubled vengeanee of their tyrants,
to consigu their leaders to dungeons, to devote
their property to confiscation, and to subject
their mothers, wives, and daughters to the fame
brutal outrages which have marked the career
of the Godless invader from the Peninsula of
Virginia to the batiks of the Mississippi.
Would Virginia or any other Southern Slate
have entered upon this revolution without the
belief that the whole power of the Confederate
Government would be exerted to protect its
citizeus ? And yet, Virginia and every other
Southern State is quite willing to accept the
hazards and calamities of war ; so that, should
it be required by military necessity, that a part
or even the whole of any one State should be
temporarily abandoned in order to secure the
triumph of the cause of all, no patriotic State
would shrink from the sacrifice, however ter
rible. We find ibis illustrated in the revolution
of 1776. 1 can entertain no doubt that Maryland
would be as willing to submit to such an ordeal
as any Stale south of the Potomac. All that she
asks is, to be set lree aud admitted into the
Southern Confederacy. She wants such an oc
cupation of her soil by the Southern army, and
lor such a reasonable length ot time as wilt
enable her people t.o dissolve their connection
with the Federal Government, obtain admission
into the Southern Confederacy, and arm and
organize her quota of the Couiederute army. I
cannot say, in advance of events, what length of
time would be required for this purpose ; but,
from my knowledge of the zeal aud determina
tion of the people! I am sure that they will ac
complish it. within a very brief period, it they
are effectually relieved from the pressure of
Federal power. The proclamation of the Com
manding General has tendered that relief, and 1
confidently believe ilia; he will yet afford it,
with the blessing ot Almighty God.
I hope that the press friendly to Maryland
will publish this feeble but heartfelt appeal lor
her dowu-troddeu children, and that she may
have the sympathy of ail her Southern brethren.
Respectfully, E. Louis Lowe.
CrsE cf the Money Panic in New Yolk.—
Tho Herald offers the following solution of
what it terms the “financial wildness” that now
pervades the great commercial emporium of
the Yankees. As the causes will continue to
exist it predicts a continuance and increase of
the trouble:
In the first place, there was the President’s
emancipation proclamation. Them the secret
revolutionary meetings of the New England
Governors, culminating in the conc±ave at Al
toona, which we reported, yesterday, had some
thing to do with it. The pause of McCleliau’s
army on the Potomac helped it along. The
nomination of Wadsworth—a radical aisunion
ist—had its weight. The knowledge that there
are at least two members of the Cabinet who
are practically iu favor of disunion, and zeal
ously working tor that object, did not lack its
influence. Atl thtse and other similar facts,
.-upporting and corroborating each other, led
the lame ducks ot Wall street to fear that we
could find no escape Irom our present dilemma
except in an unexpected prolongation ot the
war foryeats instead ot months, or in a speedy
and permanent dissolution of this Union. In
the uiidst of this gloomy distrust, Mr. Cisco’s
otter to receive gold 1 n deposit for the Govern
ment at four per cent, interest, frightened our
bankers, and the fluttering began.

Farther Northern News,

from latest Northern n.pers. They v’ill be
found very interesting, and some of them pe
culiarly significant in their bearing upon the
presr: t volcanic condition nf affairs in the
United Sates
projected attack on mubilb.
All the letters irem the Southern coast to the
Northern p tpere agree that a bombardment of
Mobile hi- oaen determined on. A letter to
the New Yoik Times, fir m the fleet near New
Orleans, says :
Next to Rieiimr ml. Mobile is the most essen
tial part to the vitality of the rebellion. With
that for our stronghold instead of their ;, Mont
gomery on the Alabama river, and Tuscaloosa
on the. Tombigbee, might soon be reached ly
our iorces, giving us poosession of the railroad
system between the Eastern and Western States
of rebeldom. Tbi- won and cut their country In
two more, disastrously i .an the entire control
of the Mississippi could < ff et it
The reported means of n-pellitig an atiaekon
Mobile would be hardly credited, were it not
that in the engagement below New Orleans
their contrivance for defense were found to be
quite as numerous and as ugly as they had
boasted them to be. It is quite as well, now,
to pay some attention to -uch representations.
It is certain they have had seventeen mouths in
which to get ready. They say they have made
a stand at Dog River Bar, on the west side of
Mobile Bay, six miles below the city, where
they have 6unk obstructions in the channel,
driven in piles thickly on the outside of the
same, and anchored a line of submarine torpe
dos still further out. That inside the obstruc
tions they have heavily armed boats, while on
the adjacent shore are tier upon tier of earth
works, with batteries of rifled cannon. That
they have one or two iron clad gunboats, and a
powerful side-wheel ocean steamer armed and
plated on her bow for “ramming.”
But their chief glory is one “bright particu
lar” ram, built in avoidance of all the errors of
construction discovered too late in its kindred
of New Orleans, Vicksburg, and Hampton
Roads. To cut short all brilliant and fearful
accounts of it, yon may suppose it to be such
a piece of iron workmanship and warring pow
er, that both Vulcan and Mars would jump at
the chance of staking upon it their claims to
Deity in these latter days, when they pass for
precious old humbugs.
How much the foregoing is entitled to con
sideration, I don’t pretend to judge. It is the
average substance, keeping inside of probabili
ty, oi the various representations made tQ us at
New Orleans and Pensacola. Yet, considering
the immense importance of Mobile to the
Southern Confederacy, we may expect to find
every diabolical engine of destruction ’which
rebel ingenuity can devise and construct thrown
into the contest. I may say it is a general be
lief in this fleet that we are about to undertake
a work, the magnitude and intensity of which
is not appreciated at the North. After the ter
rific fight in passing the forts below New Or
leans, it was very pleasing to be encouraged by
papers from home with the supposition that we
should have but light work at Mobile.

From tlte Army In Northern Virginia.
Our last advices from our army in N irthern
Virginia, and the reported movements of the
enemy under McClellan, are of an important
character, and such as to create the belief that
a great battle is impending, if it has not already
occurred.
AH reports concur in the statement that the
enemy, in heavy force, have crossed the Poto
mac at Harper’s Ferry and Shepherdstown, and
that our own forces, under General Lee, have
taken up a strong position, in which to await
the approach of the enemy. The enemy are re
presented to be approaching by the turnpike
road leading from Harper’s Ferry to Smithtield,
in Jefferson county, and from Shepherdstown
by way of the Smithtield and Sherpherdstown
turnpike. Both of these are tine roads, and
leading through the heart of Jefferson county.
From Sherpherdstown to smithtield the d'B
- is twelve miles, and from Harper’s Ferry
to the same point is about fifteen miles. Another
account represents tnat, in addition to the
forces of the enemy approaching trom Harper’s
Ferry and Shepherdstown, a heavy column
crossed at Williamsport, and were advancing
by way of Martinsburg. This town is twelve
miles from Williamsport, and about the 6ame
distance from Bunker Hill, a village noted in
that section for its extensive flour mills. Banker
Hill is ten miles north of Winchester, and five
miles west of Smithtield. The country between
Bunker “111 and Smithtield is broken and hilly,
and for several miles the main Toad runs
through heavy pine and oak forests. Nearly
midway between these two points the road
crosses Opequon Creek, a stream which, in
high stsges of water, is scarcely tordable. Bun
ker Hill is on Mill Creek, about two miles from
Its junction with the Opequon.
There is also a country road running from
Leestown (between Bhepherdstown and Smith
tield) to Banker Hill, which crosses the Ope
quou about three miles below the latter point,
this road intersects the turnpike from Martins
burg to Winchester, abont a mile north of Bun
ker Hill. It is more than probable that the
c >lumu of the enemy advancing from Shep
herdstown will take this route. Bunker Hill,
or Mill Creek, as It appears upon the map, is
the same point where Gen. Johnston offered
battle to the enemy under Patterson, in June,
IS6I, our forces remaining in line of battle near
ly an entire day, expecting the advance of the
enemy from Martinscurg. After our army re
tired Patterson occupied the position for several
days, passing his time away until the army of
the Valley had formed a junction with Beaure
gard at Manassas, and participated in the fight
of the 2Ut of July.
THE YANKEES AT WARRENTON..
It was positively asserted, by passengers who
arrived on the Central train last evening, that
the enemy’s cavalry entered Warrenton on
Monday, and captured a number of our sick and
wounded in hospitals at that place, all of whom
were paroled. The reliability of this statement
we had no means of ascertaining, though we
are disposed to believe that it is correct.
Death of Major John D. Walker. —A tele
graphic despatch was received on the 3d inst.,
reporting the death of Msj. John D. Walker,
who died at Warrenton, Virginia, of wounds
received at Manassas. Major Walker was a
brother of the gallant Wm. H. T. Walker, and
too well known in this community to require
any extended notice. He was severely wound
ed in the battle ol -Cherubusco, in Mexico; and
having entered the Confederate service at the
commencement of tne war, he has been in most
of the severe and destructive battles fought in
Eastern Virginia. His sccial virtues we are
sufficiently acquainted wiih, and his military
services have proved him to be brave, even to a
fault. His death is not only a private bereave
ment to family and friends, but a serous loss
A the public service.

particulars of the murder at. Ii uisviile. Ivy•,
on the 29tb, of General Bull Nels: r, by Briga
dier General Jeff i\ Davis, of Indiana. I ap
pears that Davis had been deprived of his e .m

case before Gt ner i! Wright, bud beta rinsia

At night Davis up ru'd to Nelson the number
of men working on the <■:,( renchmeuts and en
rolled for seiviee. N<:is eurttd him for not
having more. Davis rt pi', > a- wna a gen

gentleman. Nelson, in r- -: ! • manner,
ordered him to report at Cinciertui.;, and told
him he,would order the Provost Marshal to
eject him from the city.
This morning Governor Morton, of Indiana,
and Gen. Nelson were, standing near the desk
in the Galt House, when Gen. Davis approached
aud requested Gov. Morton to witness aeon
versation between himself at and Gen. Nelson.
He demanded an apology front Nelson for the
rude treatment-be had received last, week. Nel
son, bek g a little deaf, asked him to speak
louder. Davis egain demanded an apology.
Nelscn denounced him art! slapped him in the
face. Dt vie stepped back, clenched his list,
and again demanded an apology. Nelson slapp
ed, him in the face, and again denounced him
as a coward. Davis turned away, procured a
pistol from a friend, and followed Nelson, who
was going up stairs. Davis told Nelson to de
fend himself, immediately thereon filing.
The ball penetrated his left breast, and Gen.
Nelson died in about twenty minutes. Gen.
Nelson requested to see his old friend, Rev. Mr.
Talbot, rector o Cavalry Episcopal Church,who
was then at the Gait House. Mr. Talbot ad
ministered the sacrament according to the
forms ot his Church. The General repeated the
service after the minister and refused to talk on
any other subject; he regretted that he had not
long ago turned his attention to religion,
Affairs in Kentucky.
The Richmond Dispatch of 2d, says :
A Private letter received yesterday by a mem'
ber of Congress from Kentucky, states that on
.the 14th oi September a band of Partizan Ran*
gers, under Col. Woodward, captured on the
Cumberland rivef, opposite Canton, Ky., four
steamboats and their cargoes, consisting of mu
nitions of war and supplies for Gen. Buell’s
army. The same letter says our forces 1 ave
possession of Cumberland river in Southwestern
Kentucky, and of the counties of Trigg, Lyon,
Caldwell, Christian and The people of
Southern Kentucky were flocking to the stand
ard of the Confederacy.
A late Yankee account says :
The news from the West is important. The
arrival of Gen. Buell at Louisville bad created
intense sensation. His army is encamped at.
Shepherdsville, a few miles from the city, and
it was reported that he intended to make a dash
on Bragg as he advanced upon the place. Bragg
was at Bardstown. A despatch from Louisville,
dated the 28th, says :
Some alarm ensued this aliernonn from artil
lery practice in our euburbs, which subsided on
learning the cause of the firing.
The military officers of the rebel Confederacy
rigidly enforced the conscription all around
Lexington and other points occupied by the
rebels.
On Friday, about 500 rebel wagons were seen
on the road” from Danville to Lexington, sup
posed to be empty, and going in that direction
for supplies
The msutoon bridge connecting Louisville
and Jeffersonville was completed yesterday.
A Skirmish occurred at Middletown to-day
between a Federal cavalry regiment and some
rebel troops. One rebel was killed and the bal
ance routed.
•A dash of Cosn f ederate cavalry was made into
the town of Augusta, Ky., ou the 27th, about
40 miles from C ncinnali, and the Federals,
under Col. Rudford, cleared out. The gunboats
on the Ohio river could effect nothing in
defending the place. The Federals escaped into
Ohio.
* Unionism in tlie South.
Edward Everett, who deals in fancies, and
makes speeches according to rhetoric instead
of fact, in a late speech in Massachusetts, said :
“There are mary, very many, Ui.ion m- n in South
ern States hel l down by the strong baud of arbitrary
pow, r, who nail on you, freeman of Massachusetts, to
come to iheiraid. In the name of that Union v liich
they and jou equ lly cherish I appeal to y u. Go to
thei'assistance—relieve them from b n age to a gov
ernment they detest, they will welcome your com
ing—they will rec ive you with open arms—they will
had \ou as deliverers ”
Fremont, who has since spoken in the same
State, refutes this patent falsehood iu the fol
lowing :
“ . * * * Nor do I thare in the be ief
that there is a large body of Unionists in the South.
In my individna expe ioi.ee I have 'oued them ’ew,
and in tha progress of the war they have been fast de
creasing ”
' In tue whole oi Virginia I do not remember
to have met a Union man, and certainly not one
Union woman. [Laughter] This element of their
strerg'h mast not be underrated. It erves to show
how thoroughly the feelings of tho Sou’ll are in this
contest, aid leaves n > doubt as to what will be the
training of the growing generation. Not oil - were
the p. ople not de i;6ua of returning into ihe Union,
but they did not entertain the idea in any shape—their
only conj ctures were as to the manner in which the
sepuratit n wonld be finally effected. I do not think
that onr Northern p- ople realize hoy ma y years the
South has been preparing for tbis struggle.
“A’e are at war with a people who have been edu
cat’d to btlieve that they are contending for their
liberties; hey are carrying out this contest with unity
and determination; their armies have acquired the
solidity and consistency of reeul&r troops. To reduce
such a rebellion w 11 require the u most exertion of our
force and the tin rued.a e use of every advanla. which
naturally falls to our 6har*. in the contest. 1 heir deter
mtn-dion to obtain success is uncouq erable—to sub
due them ihe r designs must bo in-•tie impossible, and
the unity which gives Ihtm strength mus. t o ours also.
[Cheeis.]
For once, Fremont tells the truth.
From the Army.
The only reliable information brought by the
Central ears last evening, was the confirmation
of the report circulated in the city Monday, that
Warrentou had been occupied by the Yankees,
and our sick and wounded at that place taken
prisoners and paroled. A number of the pa
roled men reached the city last evening by the
Central cars. They state that the town was
occupied by the enemy’s cavalry on Sunday
evening, and that 811 sick and wounded were
there at the time of the entrance at’ the enemy,
undergoing medical treatment, all of whom
were arrested and immediately paroled.
General Lee was still at. Winchester, and the
enemy reported advancing. In this case, we
may hear of a desperate battle Having been
fought in that vicinity at any moment. We
feel warranted in saying that the most ample
arrangement has been made to give the invaders
a good old Virginia welcome.
A wild rumor was brought into the city, by
one of the passengers last evening, and exten
sively circulated, to the c-ffect that Lincoln had
sent, by flag of truce to General Lee, at Win
chester, saying that if the Confederate State*
would stop the war, and at once swear alio
giance to the United States Government, that
the Northern States would pay the whole ex
pense of the war incurred by both sections.
Of conrse there is no truth iu this report, as
neither Lincoln or his Congress could make
such a proposition without the consent of the
several States, now composing the Union. A
proposition of this kind would, at any rate
amount to nothing, for no one knows better
than Lincoln himself, that it would nut he en
tertained by the South for even a moment.
[Richmond Enquirer, 2d.
The Dispatch of the same date says :
We have little to add to our rep rt of yester
day with reference to our own and the army of
the enemy, now confronting each other in the
lower Valtey. There seems to be full confir
mation of the statement already published, that
the enemy has crossed the Potomac in strong
iorce. and tba. he is now menacing the position
taken up by the forces under Gen. Lee. Pas
sengers who arrived from Staunton last night
state that all the recent information received at
that point indicates a battle at an early day.
Our army is said to have greatly improved in
condition since its withdrawal irom Maryland,
andls now much stronger than when it crossed
the Potomac. The men evince an anxiety to
engage the invaders, and little doubt is enter
tained of a decided triumph when the grand
conflict does occur.

Death of Col. L. B. Smith. —ln the recent
bloody conflicts in Maryland, Georgia has lost
many valuable sons, among them none more
entitled to grateful recollections than Col. Levi
B. Smith, who was killed while bravely leading
his Regiment in battle. He was the late Sena
tor from Talbot county, and occupied a distin
g is hod tank at the Bar. At one time he was
partner o‘ the late Gov. Towns in the practice
of law. His abilities and integrity commanded
a large practice. No gentleman was more
courteous, noue more respected. Popular in
his address, and yet devoid of the arts of the
demagogue, he was quite a favorite among the
mas.-es to whom he was known. In the Legis
lature, ho exercised a just and salutary Ivflo
enee; never failed to throw light upon any
question in which he took part pa the floor.—
He was indeed a valuable citizen, and his loss
is a greet public misfortune, to say nothing of
the grief of his immetliate family and relatives,
which is too racred for utterance here. With
Bartow, R A. Smith and other heroes from
Georgia who have fallen ic defence cf the
South, bis name will be immortal.

.Revivals of4leligion in the Hospitals
.1* Camp Winder for some weeks there has
been in progress a revival of religion. Thirty
live soldiers have professed to be converted.
Daily meetings are being held and numbers arc
manifesting a deep interest in reference to
spiritual things.
A revival is abo in progress at Chimborazo,
and frequently from3o to 40 present themselves
as “inquirers.” Jdany have professed to-ex
perience tie saving change.
One hundred have professed conversion with
in a comparative!)’ bib-! perkd in the hospitals
in Petersburg.
For more than a month a protracted meeting
ha: been in progress in Lynchburg, at which
coec twenty soldiers have made the good pro
leesion.
We learn from the post chaplain in Farmville
that there is considerable religious interest
among the hospitals there, and that eight have
professed conversion.
A* other points the divine blessing is being
richly bestowed upon the pious efforts of ebap
-1 tins and colporteurs There can be no more
inviting field ior Christian enierprLe than that
presented by the hospitals. In .this city alone
over 09,000 sick and wounded soldiers have
been in the hospitals. At no time do men feel

more like becoming pious, than when recover

Eiater from Sinrope.
The steamer A-glo Sixon, with Liverpool
dates to the 18th ult., has arrived. The defeat
of Pope was regarded in England as a most
disastrous Federal reverse. A Paris correspon
dent believes that Count Mereier has been or
dered by the government of Fiance to make a
conciliatory attempt to put a stop to the war in
America for the sake of iftftiauity.
The Paris Patrie looks upon the American
war ns “about ovt-r.” JFf.e Constitutionnel
says “Europe cannot wait any longer before
recognizing the Southern Confederacy.” The
London Times says all Europe, enemies as
well ns friends of the Confederacy, will yield it
admiration. It has “gained a reputation for
genius and valor which the most famous na
tions may envy.” It opposes reccgaition,
however, until the South has both “won and
kept its frontiers by its own exertions.”
The London Herald (Derby’s organ) urges in
terference, if mediation is refused. The Liver
pool Courier urges France and England now to
interfere. It thinks they can no longer refuse
the application (or recognition. The London
Globe thinks “revolutionary symptoms are but
too apparent in the Federal States.”
The news from tbs Continent is unimportant.
Garibaldi is worse.
The Opinion Nationale, of Paris, Prince Na
poleon’s organ, condemns the idea of an eman
cipation proclamation for the negroes in antici

rutting down the slaveholders’ rebellion is a very
expensive as well as bloody business. Congress at
