Tuesday Evening, ~ -- ■ ■ - *—»*-<"■ ~•• ~ The Goldsb >ro’ Journal of Thursday, learns up on good authority that Yellow Fever is prevailing at Newbern. The number of deaths daily, is said to be from twenty to forty, and the number in creases. This is certainly a large mortality for a place like Newbern, un! ss indeed there be a good!? number of Yankee soldiers there, or an influx of Yankee traders and runaway negroes, all of which classes would make good food for fever, and we trust that a respectable number of them may be devourod by Bronze John. The New York Herald has had a visit from a man who left Richmond on the sth instant, who has been un army correspondent for the rebel papers a:.d is weil posted. He says Lee's whole army in lines about Richmond at present numbers from seventy to seventy-five thousand men, of all branches of the service. The rebels have got every male capable of bearing arms, between the ages of sixteen and sixty, in ranks : so that the force around Richmond and Petersburg is largely made up of old men and boys. The lines of Lee’s army, which includes the seventy or seventy-five thousand men, extend from Coal Harbor to the Appomattox, and the Weldon Railroad, beyond the point of intersection by Grant's troops. The whole rebel force now in the field amounts to one hundred and 3ixty thou sand men, certainly not over one hundred and seventy-five thousand. This includes boys, old men, guerillas and all. Important Judge Halyburton of the Confederate Court at Richmond, ha3 delivered his opinion in the ease of John H. Briscoe and the thir ty odd Marylandtrs who appeared before him, un der writ of habeas corpus, claiming their discharge from military service on the ground that their term of service had expired. The Judge was of the opin ion that these men, being Marylanders, and there fore not embraced within the conscription act, could not be held, the term of voluntary enlistment hav ing expired. They were therefore discharged. The War News. As the accounts continue to come in from the Valley of Virginia, we have satisfactory evidence that the battle of Monday last was less disastrous to the Confederate arras than first reports made it appear. It \?us. indeed, a very severe and hotly contested fight, in which we lost a large number of men ; but the losses es the enemy were far greater. The battie occurred on the Berryville road, about two miles below Winchester, and so far from having been a “surprise" to our troops, the earlier part of the engagement was decidedly in our favor. Gen. Early’s veterans stood bravely up to their work, and were steadily pressing the Yankees back, when a Hank movement of the enemy’s cavalry rendered a retrograde necessary on the part of our forces, which was executed in an orderly manner, and without hurry or confusion. Fisher’s Hill, the position to which our troops fell back, is represented to be a very strong one. With the exception of the loss of ground, all the advantage of the battle remained on our side. A report that Grant was in command of the enemy’s forces is believed to have some foun dation, General Rodes was 3hot in the head while selecting a position for a battery, and lived but a few moments. His remains have arrived in Lynchburg, and will be interred.with due honors to-day. Intelligence received last night confirms the foregoing, except that a passenger by the Cen tral train informed us that the fight took place between Martinsburg and Berryville, which would locate it beyond Winchester, and that the enemy pursued no farther than the last named place. We are still of opinion, how-< ever, that it occurred on the Berryville road, below Winchester. The enemy, it is stated, massed a large body of cavalry on our right, and compelled our troops to fall back, which they did, fighting every foot of the way. We learn that our loss in killed, wounded and prisoners bears no comparison to.that of the enemy, which was enormous. The Yankees at Varina yesterday claimed 2500 prisoners, which is about as much as our entire loss from all causes. FROM PETERSBURG. Nothing of interest occurred yesterday on the lines in front of Petersburg. Tho heavy firing from the enemy’s batteries on Wednes day morning was a salute in honor of the suc cess of Sheridan in the Valley. They opened with shotted guns all along the lines from Deep Bottom to the Weldon railroad, and at the same time gave vent to their feelings in’ loud cheers. The city was shelled furiously for an hour or more, and our batteries replied with spirit. No casualties resulted from this action on the part of the brutal foe. [Richmond Dispatch , 23c?. From Kentucky. The Lynchburg Republican of the 21st has ac counts from the New Department of Kentucky, which are of a very recent date and of a decidedly cheering character. Recruits are flocking to our standard in large numbers, and with proper management a very for midable force will soon be gathered under General Johnson’s command, finely mounted and equipped by the loyal citizens of the Department. The only unpleasant intelligence we have from this Department is that Gen. Johnson was serious ly wouaded a short time since, having been shot, through mistake, by ose i of hia own men. He had attacked and taken a Yankee camp early in the morning, and was leaving the camp with his pri soners when he wai fired upon by some of our men who, in the darkness of the morning, mistook tho party for a body of Yankees attempting to escape. His wound is a very serious one, and may incapa citate him for any further active duty. General Jehasen’s great popularity with the people of thi3 part es Kentucky makes his loss at this time ex ceedingly unfortunate. —Richmond Whig, 23tf. The Arhy of Tennessee. —lt is a fact no lon ger kept a secret that the Army of Tennessee has changed its position. General Hood’s headquar ters are now near Palmetto, with his left resting on the Chattahooche river. Aetive preparations are going on for an important movement, and we be lieve we can “guess,” as the Yankees would say, what is to fee the character of that movement; but for prudential reasons we will not here express what we believe to fee true in regard to them. If successful we shall all know it in time, and we be lieve a grand result to us will be the fruits of what ever is done. Let is cheer up. Let despondency give way tobouancy, and our word for it, we shall soon be in the midst of a jubilee of joy. [Lo Grange Reporter. The Lynchburg Republican says no damage was done to the Orange read by the enemy but the burning of the bridge acress the Rapidan, and that, we understand, was only partially destroyed and can be repaired in a few days. The train of ears, for the safety of which fears wore entertain ed, escaped capture. Muoh private damage was dene, three mills and several private houses being destroyed. force was a part of Sheridan’s cavalry, sent for the purpose of breaking the com munication between Early and Richmond. They have left Calpepper, going back into the Valley.— Richmond Sentii el. Army Correspondence of the Savannah Republican. Richmond, Sept. 21, 18G4. We have unfavorable news from Winchester. Early has been defeated by Sheridan, or rath er, I suspect, by Grant, who went to Wash ington last week, and thence, probably, to the Valley of Virginia. Early reports by telegraph to General Lee that on the morning of the I9th the enemy advanced on Winchester, near which place he met his attack, which was resisted from early in the day until near night, when he was com* pelted to retire. After night be fell back six or eight miles to Newtown by the Staunton road, and on the following morning a few miles further to a strong position at Fisher’s Hill. He reports our loss to have been severe. Major General Rode3, of Alabama, and Brig adier General Goodwin, of Louisiana, was killed, nobly doing their Three pieces of artillery of King’s battalion were lost. The trains and supplies were brought off safely. Such is the official account of the battle. Beyond this, no further particulars have been received. Kershaw’s division was not in the battle, bavin - been seat oft' on detached ser vice a few days before. It is reported that the enemy largely outnumbered Early, and was strong enough to move upon his flanks, whilst engaging him in front. This we may readily believe ; for no equal body of men in the Union army could begin to defeat'the vet erans of Early’s command. It is not impossi ble that Grant is about to make another effort to penetrate to Lynchburg by way of the Valley of the Shenandoah, and that he is directing the movement himself. An unusual number of transports have been seen on the Potomac lately, which were sup posed to be bringing recruits to the army at Petersburg, whereas, in truth, they may have been conveying reinforcements to Sheridan. Possibly some of Shennan’3 troops have gone in the same direction. Grant doubtless be lieves, and with good Reason, that with Meade at Petersburg and Sheridan at Lynchburg, it would be utterly impossible for Lee to kelp open the DanviHe railway, and consequently that Richmond would eventually fall for want of supplies. Yet there are military critics in the South who have complained of the Gov ernment for not sending Early to Georgia! The death of Gen. Rodes is a great misfor tune. I learn from the Whig, of this place, that he was a native of Lynchburg, and son of the late General Rodes ; one of the most res specled citizens of that place. He received a military education at the Virginia Military Institute, where he remained a few years after his graduation as one of the corps of profes sors. He subsequently removed to Alabama, of which State he was a resident at the begin ning of hostilities. He raised a regiment and came immediately to his native State, where he and his command have performed a conspicuous part in the bloody drama since enacted in this part of the Confederacy. He received a painful wound at Seven Pines, where he was distinguished for gallant conduct; and at Chaneellnrsville he evinced so much skill and courage, and such high qualities for command, that he was, at the dying request of the immortal Jackson, immediately made a Major General by the President. His conduct since on many hard fought fields kAS abundantly justified the commen dation of the dying chieftain, and shows how won derful was his knowledge of men. Gen. Rodes was in the very prime of physical and intellectu al manhood, being about thirty-five years old w hen ho fell on the field of battle. He makes the second officer of brilliant promise whom Alabama has lost within the la3t few weeks, Brigadier Gen. Saunders being rhe other. Thus tho good and tho brave pass down to the grave ! President Davis left Richmond yesterday on a visit to Georgia. He was accompanied by Hon. B. H. Hill, Senator from that State, who has been on a visit to the capital for some days. The report in Macon that General Beauregard is to take com mand of the Army ©f Tennessee is probably pre mature. Military men in this quarter do not find fault with Hood’s plans or movements ; they think that his blow at Jonesboro’ was well aimed—that he struck at the right time and in the right place, and that his failure did not result from any defect in his plan. It has been suggested in certain quarters that he should have abandoned Atlanta and thrown his whole force upon tho enemy, and thon have undertaken to re-occupy tho place, but the judgment of officers hero, as far as I have been able to ascertain it, is adverse to the plan sug gested. I should have stated above that the raiding party that made its appearance at Rapidan bridge a few days ago, has been dispersed. It was probably sent out in anticipation of the movement on Win chester, to cut Early’s communications and destroy such supplies as might have been accumulated in his rear. A flag of truce steamer arrived at Varina yes terday with one thousand sick and wounded Con federate prisoners on board, including Brig. Gen. Walker, of South Carolina. The prisoners will reach the city this afternoon, and an equal number of Federal prisoners, sick and wounded, will be sent down from Richmond. P. W. A. From East Tennessee. Citizens coming through the linos represent tho tyranny of the enemy in East Tennesseo, as be coming more despotic every day. Not a day passes by but that some new victim finds his way to the filthy dungeons of Knoxville, thence to work on the fortifications. Brownlow’s course is becoming moro vindictive and hostile daily: hence the outrages of the soldiers can be accounted for. Humanity blushes at the infamous and cruel conduct of this monster. He advocates the hanging of leading men, supposed to favor the South. The Federal works around Knoxville are very formidable. Ladies of Knoxville, who have husbands and relatives in the military prisons are not permitted to speak to them. Brownlow says “that the infernal Preachers and she-devils are the cause of the war continuing.— That to exterminate them the revolution was at an end.” He is very bitter in his persecution of preachers. A few days since he caused the Rev. Mr. Ingles, of New Market to be beaten nearly to death. Another minister has been driven from his Parish by Brownlow’s persecutions. A portion of the Federal troops in East Tennes see have been sent to Middle Tennessee to assist in taking care of Gen. Wheeler. The number of Yankees in tho Department it is now thought to be not over two thousand. The enemy are still in the vicinity of Bull’s Gap, though not in very heavy force. It is reported that every Southern sympathizer is to be sent out of the Yankee lines. The enemy’3 bands of bushwhackers fell out a few days ago, had a considerable engagement re sulting in the death of one of their leaders, Heth erly. A movement we are informed, was on foot to drive them from the country, but so soon as it was discovered that they were fighting among themselves, it was abandoned. They are now try ing to exterminate each other. —Richmond Whig. Gold and Greenbacks. —A Saratoga letter, writer records tho following novel mode of paying hotei bills : Among the anomalies of a depreciated paper currency, the following is noteworthy : There are at present at the springs quite a number of Cu bans —never before so many. They all come la den with gold, on which at home, they have paid no premium. On the liquidation of their board bills they are allowed the premium of course. The practical result is, that when a Cuban hai been here a month, and has feasted well he lays down one-hundred dollars in gold and receives, in fe turn, a receipted bill and one-hundred and fifty six dollars in change! The Cubans, hence, are living gratis, and making money by it besides ! Os course they are greatly enjoying themselves at oar expense. $5.00 Per Month. From Wheeler’s Command. The following private letter, from one of Wheel er’s command was received by the editor of tho Macon Telegraph and Confederate. As we think it will prove interesting to our readers, we publish it: Neap. Athens, Ala. We are just returning from our grand raid upon Sherman’s lines of communication. The expedition is thus far a most perfect success in every way. We have destroyed effectually some fifty miles of the Railroad in Middle Tennes see and some seventy-five in East Tennessee and Georgia. We have captured hundreds of prison ers and an immense amount of U. S. Government property of every sort. In every fight we have made with the enemy, we have been victorious. We went in about two and a half miles of Nash ville. Our trip throughout Tennessee was a con tinuous grand evation— and has given us some 2,000 recruits of most excellent material for our cavalry. The people of Tennessee are very cheer ful and have the finest crops known for years, which they are very anxious for the brave boys of our gallant army to come and consume. In the midst of all our brilliant successes, a cloud of sad ness covers the scene, in the case of General Kelly, who was wounded on the 2d inst., near Franklin, while arranging his line of battle. His wownd was so severe that we were compelled to leave him in the enemy’s lines, but in the hands of kind friends. Dr. Galt, the surgeon of the division,, thinks he may possibly recover. His gallaptry and ability as a soldier was of tbe first order, and tbe cavalry never lost a more useful officer. If I had the leisure I would like to describe to you what a splendid trip we had—of the many mintjuleps, cobblers and punches all nicely spliced with huge chunks of lake ice— of the now hats, boots and all sorts of pharaphanalia—and last, but not least, of all tho many bright eyes which “looked love to eyes which spake again.” Do not suppose the good people of Tennessee—and they aro a host—are subdued. By no means. Milk and honey, and every other good thing to tempt the appetite was lavished upon us everywhere— and the “God bless tho Rebels” was on every tongue. I think the damage wo have done tho railroads will require at least thirty days to have it repaired. In the meantime, how is Sherman to subsist his army ? From the best information we could obtain twenty days rations was tho utmost of his supply. I can but think Gen. Sherman’s army must re treat—at least to Chattanooga, if net further. I am very tired and need rest, and cannot write you as long a letter as I would desire to do. I send you lategt papers, and some old familiar facts. Your friend, B, Additional from tlie North. Northern papers of the evening of the 19th instant quote, gold at 225| on that day. The news is meagre. By way of New Orleans the American learns that Mexicans, just arrived in that city, re port that Cortinas, being unable to cope with the French, crossed his force of two thousand men and sixteen cannon over the Rio Grande and occupied Brownsville, Texas, driving out the Confederates under Colonel Ford, and hoisted the Yankeo flag. He declared that he was born on the American side of the riv er, he was a citizen of the United States, and would hold Brownsville for that Government. He immediately notified the Yankee comman der at Brazos of his proceedings, and offered, through him, to the United States Govern ment, the services of himself and army. A Louisville dispatch states that Forrest crossed the Coldwater an Monday last, and camped within fifteen miles of Memphis.— General Marmaduke, with seven thousand men, is across the St. Francis river, intending to invade Missouri. Greneral Price is threat ening Little Rock. A letter from Grant’s army, speaking of General Hampton’s raid, says : Kautz’3 and Gregg’s command were both ordered in pursuit as soon as the enemy’s pres ence was known, but were unable to do more than harrass his retreat. The entire herd is beyond recapture hours ago, and we are com pelled to acknowledge one of the most humil iating occurrences of the war has been prac tised almost under the fire of our guns, and that we have failed to inflict anything ap proaching an adequate punishment for such audacity. Great blame should lie on some one’s shoulders; but whether it can be at tached to the proper person will probably be a matter for future inquiry. The Ana Arbor (Michigan) Journal, a “Stir ling” Lincoln paper, has given him up and hoisted McClellan’s name. The Cincinnati Enquirer says r~ Every Democratic paper in Ohio—and there are some eighty or ninety of them—is,, giving the Chicago nominees a cordial and earnest support, with the exception of the Columbus Crisis. General Grant wa3 in Philadelphia on the 18th. ♦ George H. Williams, unconditional Union Democrat, has been elected United States Sen ator by the Legislature of Oregon. STILE LATER. Baltimore papers of Tuesday evening, con tain Sheridan’s official dispatch of the fight with General Early. He says the rebels held the ground with great obstinacy nearly all day, but were at last defeated with thelo3S of twenty-five hundred prisoners, five guns and eight stands of colors. He acknowledges the loss of General Russell (killed) and three gen erals wounded. REBEL RAID AT CITY POINT. The Washington Chronicle of the 18th, says : It is reported by parties who have arrived here, that on Thursday night two regiments of rebel cavalry made a raid on our. cattle corral, a short distance below City Point.— They came in on our left, and succeeded in getting to the corral, which is along the river, and drove off a large number of cattle, over powering the guard, composed of the Thir teenth Pennsylvania cavalry. The alarm, however, was speedily given, and all the troops at City Point were immediately placed under arms, and a body of our cavalry sent in pursuit of the raiders, a large number of whom are reported to have been captured, with some of the cattle. The New York News of a late date, has the following : We learn that there is a letter from General McClellan, whieh is to be read at the ratifica tion meeting to-morrow (Saturday) evening, now in the hand3 of Mr. Hirum Ketchum. In the letter, it is said, General McClellan ex presses surprise that any Democrat should find fault with his letter accepting the Chicago nomination. We trust that Gen. McClellan has embraced the opportunity to state that, if elected, he will make an immediate offer for a cessation of hostilities and a convention of all the S tales. The Norfolk (Va.) Regime says : The English blockade runner Lillian, a mag nificent new side-wheel steamer, has arrived . at this port, a prize to the United States navy. | Os course she came out of Wilmington. She j wa3 chased a long distance, and during the j chase threw overboard some four hundred : bales of cotton. At last a shot trom the L on- , necticut perforated her huh. and ?ne yielded. One hundred and two of her crew and passen gers were sent to Washington last night, and the prize came up to the city. I From Below.— We have information th :? week from Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk but nothing q! an exciting character. The Yankees are strengthening their garrison at Norfolk, and a considerable force of cavalrj have recently arrived at Portsmouth. Tht citizens of the two citie3und all tbe eurround ing country are greatly oppressed, being no longer freemen, but slaves to an unprincipled race. Two companies of cavalry are stationed at Bernard’s Mill, three miles below Suffolk and citizens below have been allowed recently to visit SufTo.k. Re*. A. R. Bernard has been permitted to preach in the town, a privilege he has not enjoyed in two years before, though hie residence is only three miles distant. Dr Bagwell, of Portsmouth, was lent up to Suf folk a week or two since, having been ordered to leave tbe Federal lines for hie expression of sympathy with the Confederate cause. The people in the James river region are suffering much from the depredations of Yankee marau ders. Many negroes have recently been car ried off’ from Smithfield, and all along the river from Smithfield to Cabin Point, farmers and all ethers are kept in constant dread of these thieves and robbers. — Pets. Christian Sun. Hampton’s Caftuii.— The Federal Commissaries buy beeves of the largest size for the use of their armies in Virginia. The expense and trouble of transportation, which are in proportion to num bers, make this very expedient. The beeves taken in Hampton’s late expedition are judged by a Lou doun grazier to weigh eight hundred pounds nett.— Twenty-four hundred and eighty-six beeves at eight hundred pounds would make an aggregate of 1.958,- 800 pounds, er within a fraction of 2,000,000 of lbs. This, distributed in daily rations of a pound each, would feed a thousand men for nearly two thousand days, ten thousand men for two hundred days, or fifty thousand for forty days, and so forth. It is a very nice addition to our commissariat, for which we are very much obliged to Mr. Grant, and par ticularly to Gen. Hampton and his braves. * [Richmond Sentinel, ♦ » ♦ Col. John S. Mosby.— The Yankee papers have recently announced, with a shout of triumph, the death of this formidable “guerrilla chieftain,” and a Norfolk journal of late date published a sketch of his life and military career, with the circumstances attending his departure from this mundane sphere. As our readers have already been informed, Mosby was wounded in tbe grein in a recent skirmish with the enemy, and we now learn that be arrived at his father’s residence, in Amherst county, on Sunday evening last. We trust that be will soon be in the saddle again, and that he will live long to carry on his courageous and daring operations against the enemy.— Richmond Dispatch. Treatment of Rebel Prisoners. [From the Washington Chronicle.] To the Editor of the Chronicle : Dear Sir —If you have any influence with the Secretary of \Yar and the Presi dent, exert it to have the order of Colonel Hoffman, relative to the receipt of the rebel prisoners now in our hands of such articles as they can buy, or such articles as their friends think proper to send them. If it is not revoked our prisoners now confined in the rebel prisons will suffer on account of it, for the rebel authorities, as soon as they see it, will certainly retaliate. I was once a prisoner in the Libby, and I and many others wero frequently the re cipients of many articles of comfort and many acts of kindness, not only from Union friends there, but from rebel men and women, and only from the fact that at that time no such restrictions were ims posed on their prisoners in our hands. All such orders emanating from our ernment do us no good, and our own sol diers in prison have to suffer on account of it. Yours truly, Once a Prisoner in Libby. We think there is a good deal of force in the suggestion of our correspondent: Because a privilege is abused, that is no reason it should be entirely cut off, and we ought not, by a sweeping restriction of all supplies to rebel prisoners from their friends, prevent our own men from receiv ing donations in Dixie. It is easy, we should think, to distinguish between os tentatious parade of offensive sentiments and genuine charity on the part of the donors. Remembrance of those who are in bonds is one of the duties enjoined by Christian charity. We hope the order will be revoked, or at least modified.
