1 he unfinished business, firing the consi&er-
ation of the Exemption Bill, was taken up; the
pending amendment being that submitted by-
Mr. Orr, exempting from military duty all per

The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. Hill moved to aaiend by inserting after

or overseei on plantations, on which one white
man is required to remain by the laws of any

liable to do military se rvice. Disagreed to.

From the Army.—Passengeis who arrived
by the Central train, yesterday afternoon, were
singularly ignorant ol matters connected with
cur forces on the North side of the Potomac.
One or two parties stated that Jackson’s corps
moved on Wednesday m the direction of Hag
erstown; but further than this they knew no
thing. They believed that he was going to
Pennsylvania by way ol Hagerstown. The
Northern news we have published tells us as
much as that.
A gentleman with whom we conversed, from
Winchester, states that it was reported in the
town on Friday that a heavy column ot our
army had arrived a Williamsport, six miles
south of Hagerstown. If there is any truth in
this statement, it is doubtless the intention to
clean out the Federal forces at Martinsburg and
Harper’s Ferry. The same gentlemen says
that the Federal forces at these two points
amounts to about 80,000.
From Western Virginia.—The War De
partment received yesterday morning infor
mation from the command of Gen. Loring, of
the most gratifying character. That officer
telegraphed the Department that he had de
feated the Federal forces in three separate en
gagements, and that the routed enemy were
rapidly retreating down the Kanawha Valley
towards the Ohio river, while his own forces
were in hot pursuit. These engagements took
place near the Great Falls of Kanawha, a few
miles below the mouth of the Gauley river.
Gen. Loring also stated that Gen. Jenkins
had recently captured a Federal depot of arms
and provisions, and that Gen. J. penet r ated
some twenty miles into the State of Ohio.—•
The number of arms captured is estimated at
5,000.
Pennsylvanians Joining the Confedakte
Forces.—We are assured, upon the statement
of an officer of the Confederate army who arri-
j ved in this city yesterday, and who left Fred-

On motion of Mr. l):ivis, the clause in respect
to manufacturers of salt was amended so as to
read, “to the extent of 20 hnshels per day."
Mr. Henry offer ed an amendment, which
was agreed to, excm pting “all persons engaged
in burning coke for remcll.ing and manufactur

C., seem to have observed the Thanksgiving of
last Thursday in a most practically Christian and
patriotic manner. We understand that after a
sermon by the Rev. Dr. Deems, a copy of which
is solicited for publication, a large collection was
taken up to purchase testaments and tracts for
our soldiers. After which, a number of the citi
zens resolved to make a commencement toward
securing a fund of $100,oOO or $150,000 for the
purpose of establishing a Military College, for the
education of the orphau boys of such soldiers as
fall in the wars of the Confederacy. More than
five thousand dollars were subscribed that very af
ternoon by a few gentlemen, one thousand being
contributed by the surgeons ill service to the ex
cellently conducted Hospital under the direction

THE MI TTERIXGS OF T11E STORM.
The tierce mutteriugs of ihc terrible storm that
is destined to sweep overtire Xortlt are becoming
day by day more threatening and more audiblr.—
A Washington dispatch of the 11th inst., to the
Chicago Tribune, says:
The Xew York Herald to-day has an article more
fully indicating the plow for the establishment of
a military dictatorship than anything else that has
yet found its way into print. It compares Mc
Clellan’s position now with Wellington’s on the
Spanish peninsula, when the British cabinet was
opposed to him, aud says that McClellan ought to
insist on a reconstruction of the Cabinet to purge
it of the radical taint which may again infuse its
poison over the whole. It continues, “now is the
rks) the words, "unless employed at works
conducted under th e at thority and by the of
ficers of a Slate.” Agreed to. .
Mr. Hill moved t< > add to the list of exemp
tions "And one person, either us owner or

one hundred and jiflten, arrived at Frederick
last week, and tendered their services to the

they were unwilling to stay at home to be
drafted into the abolition service.
K entice.ians Rallying.—The news from
Kentucky, though without those particulars
necessary to a full understanding of the real
condition of affairs in that State, is neverthe
less encouraging. The spirit of the people is
aroused, and throughout the State they are
throwing off the shackles that bound them,
anil asserting their determination to be free.—
A despatch from Gen. Kirby Smith, dated
Lexington, Ky., Sept 5th appeals for arms for
the Kentuckians who are flocking to bis stand
ard. He says in his dispatch that the people
are rising en masse, and that he could, at that
time, add 20,000 men to his column, if he had
arms for them.

The London Times on the American Ware
The following is a copy of the leading edi
torial of the London Times, July 22, 1862. In
the events that have since transpired, the
Times will find additional force to its re
marks :
“Nothing is so melancholy as forced merri
ment, and sorrow never wrings the heart
more bitterly than when affliction or anxiety
is compelled to assume the appearance of re
joicing. There is a play of the old dramatist,
John Ford, called the Broken Heart, in which
die heroine is compelled to go through a sol
emn dance, although, in the course of it she is
told that her father is dead, that her dearest
friend has committed suicide, and that her
lover is murdered. She goes through the dance,
and drops down dead at its close. Something
similar to this must have* been the mental tor
ture endured by a large portion of the Ameri
can public during the festivals and rejoicings
which commemorate the 4th of July, the an
niversary of the never-sufficiently-to-be-praised
and never-sufficiendy-to-bo-violated Declaration
of Independence. How fiat, stale, and unpro
fitable must have sounded the conventional
eloquence and worn out enthusiasm which
celebrated wars and quarrels, the remembrance
of which ought to sleep in the graves of those
who made them ! How jarring the music, how
pale the fireworks, how wearisome the pro
cessions to mothers and sisters, to wives and
daughters, tormented with the well grounded
apprehension that in the bloody swamps of
Virginia were lying those most dear to thorn
on earth—happy indeed, if dead, but only too
probably lingering out the last remnants of ex
istence under the chilling dews of night, con
sumed by thirst and fever, in all the agonies
that wait on the wounded, abandoned by a re
treating, and trampled on and disregarded by a
pursuing, army 1 Was there no one to ask
whether the cause in which all this blood was
shod be indeed the cause of independence;
whether the North can really identify the
grounds of their present quarrel with that
which their ancestors maintained against
George III. and his Ministers; or whether the
North does not find itself playing the part of
the very King whom for eighty years it has
held up to the execration of its people as the
vilest and most cruel of tyrants ?
We kuow that the North has not succeeded,
but cau it show any ground to convince us that
it deserves success ? They cannot submit their
cause to be tested by their own principles.—
Can they point out any others under which
their cause will obtain more favor ? America
has been celebrated, And justly, as the first
country that ever based its Constitution on the
principles ol abstract right and justice. The
founders of the Republic maintained the prin
ciple of the inalienable rights of man against
proscription and authority. Rebels in their
eyes were only men reverting to the first prin
ciples of natural justice, and sovereigns lost
their right to reign as soon as they ceased to
contribute to the happiness of their people.—
These are the stereotyped doctrines of the 4tb
of July. To be.consistent, tbe Northern States
ought not now to denounce and punish them ns
treason.
How are tlie mighty fallen ! A year ago the
North went forth to conquer, confident in its
numbers, in its vast flotilla, in its crushing
artillery, and in its possession of capital, tor the
moment, at least, entirely without limit. It
went forth to fight for empire, and, as men do
who seek to conquer and oppress their feilow-
uien, it trusted mainly in overbearing might,
and rested the menus of its cause on the sharp
ness of its sword. It invaded on every side a
territory scantily peopled, supplied with like
wealth without manufactories, without large
cities, cut off ’rorn the rest of the world by the
vast uaval superiority of its antagonist, with
nothing to rely on but dauntless courage and
POLITICAL UPRISING AT THE N
The Albany, [N.Y.,] Argus (Democratic), in
an article on the approaching elections at the
North, says the Middle States will insist upon
resuming the power they once held and which
has been filched from them by New England.
It says:
It is in vain that the voice of the press, of
public meetings, of formal deputations, is heard
implpring the President to give efficiency to his
administration. The instruction of the people
is needed ; and that must be given at the bal
lot box. We have reached that stage of politi
cal crisis wherein our position resembles that
of the British Parliament, when a revolution of
political opinion dictates a change ol ministry
and a modification of governmental policy.
Instead of a policy vague, vascillating and
destructive, we want one which shall be intel
ligent, resolute and effective. The resurrec
tion of Democratic influences in the North
would have the double effect of consolidating
our military strength and the force of our po
litical position, and of dividing the South.
But there is something more than this de
manded by the crisis, and which would be ef
fected by the influence of these great Demo
cratic States, asserting their position as the ad
vocates of constitutional law!
On every side we hear of propositions to
disregard the Constitution. The rights of the
press, of individual liberty, and of property,
are treated with contempt by a class of dema
gogues who now propose to establish a military
dictatorship. The men who make this propo
sition, for the most part cowards and criminals,
seek to shelter themselves from the outraged
law, under the cover of some military usurpa
tion. Weak-ininded and fearful in this crisis
as they have been wicked and blind, in every
antecedent step, they seek to find refuge from
their own folly and vacillation, in a despot
ism, no matter how odious.
They know not what they say. A dictator
ship means assassination,and absolutism means
anarchy. There can be no revolution without
counter revolution. The Mirabeau of to day
will be followed by Danton, and Danton dis
placed by Robespierre and a reign of corrup
tion and imbecility must follow the reign of
terror, before we are ready for a Napoleon.
The men who now invoke despotism in the
name of order invite anarchy, as when a while
ago they proposed tp usher in the reign of liber
ty they proposed an absolutism. There can
be no such thing as the overthrow of consti
tutional law and order without civil war and
anarchy. The man who ventures to lay his
unlicensed hand on the Ark of the Constitu
tion, even to steady it lest it fall, will be struck
down by the hand of God (
It is for this we need a restoration of the
Democratic party—to restore once more the
reign of constitutional law, and to revive the
sentiment of loyalty to the Constitution, and
of abhorrence of despotic and lawless power.

lai*resting Ncrne in the Capital Ground.
■ X Washington.
[Correspondence of the New York Tribune.]
Washington, Sept. 1.—A very amusing
scene occurred a few days since in the capital
grounds at Washington. Some two or three
weeks ago, while on the steamer Adelade, the
Fortress Monroe boat, from Baltimore, I be
came acquainted with a Mr. Greaves, an Eng
lish gentleman, from Manchester, who was on
his wav to the Fortress for the purpose of
making a visit to the army of the Potomac.—
When the army evacuated Harrison’s Landing,
he started for Washington, and it was within
half an hour after he arrived there that an
amusing scene occurred, of which the follow
ing b own version :
He entered the capital grounds and asked
an officer whom he met what that magnificent
structure was used for (meaning the capital).
“That,” answered the officer, “is the bakery
for tlie United States army.” This singular
answer somewhat took Mr. Greaves aback,
who, remonstrating at what he considered an
unwarrantable joke under the circumstances,
received for reply, “That is the only answer
you will get, sir, and if you don’t like it, you
must take your own remedy.”
When the gentleman a-ked his name, “John
Smith,” answered the officer. Highly incensed
at this second indignity, Mr. Greaves deman
ded his card, producing his own. The officer
now appeart^ to wish to get rid of the matter,
turning on his heel in the direction of the capi-
tol, exclaiming “Psha!" The Englishman fol
lowed him up the steps of the capitol. On
reaching the top, the officer turned round and
said, “Well, sir,what are you following me lor.”
What do you want?” “I want your name,”
answered Mr. Greaves,” and 1 will follow you
until I learn what i tis.” The •ffiee» ordered
him to leave the place, hut to no purpose. Both
parties appeared to be getting excited, when,
fortunately, at this instant a door opened, and
Captain Darling made his appearance. “Cap
tain Darling,” commanded the officer, “take
this man away.” Captain Darling at once ad
vanced and took charge of Mr. Greaves. “Be-
fire I leave,” said Mr. Greaves, “I demand that
you shall tell tne the name of that officer.”
“That,” answered Capt. Darling, “is General
Halleck, commander in chief of the American
army.” The Englishman wilted.
this conviction that the people will
^ lace again in the administration of
office that old and patriotic and loyal p; irty,
which has already given proof of its capa city
to administer this Government, and with wh ich
alone we can achieve success in war, and un tier
which alone we can organize an honorable
peace.

Mr. llill moved to add to tbe exemption list,
"Avid such other persons as the Secretary ol
War shall bo sa'.istied, on account of justice,
equity, or necessity, ought to be exempted.”
Agreed to.
Mr. Yancey—>I ask the unanimous consent
of the Senate to reconsider the clause exempt
ing printers. We have exempted foremen,
journeymen and printers, and 1 think wrought
to exempt an editor.
Mr. Orr I think that some of the newspa
pers, and especially in this city have indulged
ill soon dispose of him by striking him down on
the very crisis of the campaign now opened in
Maryland.
The Herald ostensibly demands the expulsion
Irom the Cabinet all but McClellan men, but what
it really means is to urge a raa/i <T<tut on the part
of McClellan like that which overthrew the repub
lic in France.
Commenting upon this, the Tribune remarks:
The Xew York Herald calls for a rouji d'etat.—
It urges General McClellan to depose tbe adminis
tration and place himself at the head of the gov
ernment without lurther delay. This is a scheme
which has seemed to be brewing for some time.—
in a very indecent abuse of this body in con i The job is somewhat greater than the Herald sup-
sequence of that vote, and 1 object to recon
sideration.
Mr. Yancey—But, sir, that ought not to ef
fect the whole class.
Mr. Urr—I object,, sir.
Mr. Haynes offered tlie following:
Provide*!, That s uch members of the militia
of any Mate as bav e been called out and mus
tered in the service of such Stale by the Execu
tive thereof, employed and necessary to repel
any actual invasion of said State, shall also be
exempted. Provided, That whenever such in
vasion shall have Ijoen repelled or otherwise
shall have ceased to exist, the exemption here
by declared shall expire. Agreed to—ayes 15,
noes 2.
Mr. Sparrow offered a proviso, which was
adopted: That tbe exemptions granted hereby
shall only continue w'.iilst the person - exempt
ed are actually engaged in their respective oc
cupations, herein enumerated.
On motion of Mr. Yancey, the word “engi
neers” was added to the clause’ exempting
millers.
Mr. Lewis offered as an additional clause,
which was rejected, that ir in the execution of
this law any conflict should arise be'ween the
provi-ions of this act and any State law or or
dinance oi any State Convention, it shall be
determimsl in favor of such State law or ordi
nance.
On motion of Mr. Dortcb, a clause was ap
pend) d repealing tbe exemption act approved
in April.
Tbe bill as amended was then read a third
time and passed by the following vote:
Yeas—Messrs. Baker, Clay, Davis ,Uaynes,

Mr. Chambliss, of Virginia, obtained leave to
introduce the follov.’ing resol ution, which was
•greed to.
Resolved, That the Cotur jittee of Ways and
Means consider the justice, propriety, and ex
pediency of levying a tax on slates for tbe pur
pose of making a lair and equitable compensa
tion for slaves lost to tboir owners by reason
of the public enemy and the present war; and
report the result of their deliberations to this
Ilouse.
Mr. Hilton, of Florid a, by consent, presen
ted a communication from the Governor of that
.State in relation to the exportation of cotton
and the operations of speculators, and embody
ing certain recommendations concerning the
prohibition of this trade. Referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign A flair b.
Mr. Gartrell, of Ha., f torn the Committee on
the Judiciary, reported back a Senate bill
nging the time of m ceting of the next regu
poses Betorc the melee in finished we opine that
tlie Western soldiers will take a hand in it. They
can hold anything level that the Army of the Po
tomac has i/'l developed if it comes to that, and
they will do so too when the occasion arrives.—
Meanwhile tbe militia of all the States should he
organized and armed. The country is not ready
to lie put up lor sale at a pru torian auction. A.ny
transactions of that kind made will come to nau ght
by reason of the inability of the parties to delii er.
We understand that there will shortly be amoet-
ing of the governors of the loyal States. Ne ver
wa- there a time when a meeting of our executi ves
was more imperiously demanded by existing foots,
or by the voice of the people. The government
has been breeding an anaconda, which has done
the rebels no harm, hut has wound itself around its
creators in a manner quite too familiar and affec
tionate lor health and comfort. The subject de
mands early investigation and prompt action.
On tbe same subject Wilkes’ Xew York Spirit of
the Times has an article entitled “The Philosophy
of the Crisis—High Treason in our Camp." It is
destined to attract wide attention, and If we mis
take uot, w ill produce a protound sensation In the
public mind. Wilkes declares “that when tbe
President was dragooned by the assumed clamors
of tlie soldiers, and in opposition to sentiments
of the intelligent and patriotic classes of the
people, to reinstate the man that lost the Penin
sula campaign, and whose minions sacrificed Pope,
the civil liberties of this poor country passed be
neath the sword, and a virtual military distator-
ship was inaugurated, the end of which no man
can foresee.”
These evidences leave the fact no longer in
doubt that the North is rapidly developing itself
into two great antagonistic parties, the first of
which may he termed the Conservative or Mon
archal, and the other the Radical or Anarchial.—
The first render the pica of military necessity, the
idea ol preserving the government, good order
and an efficient prosecution of the war; will resort
to stroDg measures, while the latter, coinnoscd of
all the isms aud radical ele::. ..is of soc.eiy, will
make'ts appeal in>ci,.;.:ot popular rights. Con
stitutional guarantees and the red-republican sym
pathies of the people. As yet we can omy see the
seething* ami heaving* of the distant storm-cloud,
but its mutteriugs are plainly beard, and the dire
ful fury of the tempest itself mast soon he felt.—
What shall he visible after the storm has passed
must be left for further development.
The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted at a meeting lately held in Savan
nah by the German Jews:
Whereas, we have read with amazement and
I contempt the proceedings of a meeting at
' Thomasvilie, held on the 20th August last, in
which German Jews are denounced in utimeas-
ureu terms—are prohibited from visiting that
village, and banishing all those now resident in
that place.
This wholesale slander, prosecution and de
nunciation of a people, many of w hom are
{touring out their blood on battle-fields of their
country, in defence of a civil an 1 religious lib
erty, is at war with the spirit of the age—the
letter of the constitution—and tbe principles of
religion—and can find no parallel except in the
barbarities of the inquisition and the prosecu-
| treachery deserves.
When the liberal policy of tbe Confederate
I Government shall be introduced and made
known to the people who have so long expert-
' diced the wanton misrule of the invaders, the
I Commanding General expects the people hear-
| lily to sustain it—not only as a duly, but a; a
deliverance from the task-masters and usurpers;
and, indeed, he already recognizes in the cor
dial welcome which the people everywhere give
to the army a happy indication of their attach
ment to their true ami lawful Government —
Until the proper authorities shall order other
wise in the presence of municipal law and its
customary ministers, martial law will tie ad
ministered l»y the army and the Provost Mar
shal
Private rights and property will be respect
ed, violence will be repressed, and order pro
moted, amj all the private property used by
the army will be paid for.
The commanding General appeals to all
good citizens to aid him in these objects; and
to all able bodied men to join his army to de
fend the sanctuary of religion and virtue—home
territory, honor and law—-which are invaded
and violated by an unscrupulous enemy, whom
an indignant and irritated people are now about
to chastise on his own soil.
The Government expects an immediate and |
enthusiastic response to this call. The country i
has been reclaimed for you from the enemy, ]
by soldiers, many of whom arc from distant !
parts of the State and Confederacy ; and you j
will prove unworthy to possess so beautiful
and fruitful a land if you do not now rise to |
retain and defend it.
The oaths which the invader has imposed
armed, ill-clothed, ill-fed, poorly lodged, and
he was encumbered with the most formidable
of all hindrances—a slave population of several
millions, to whose mercies he had to leave his
wife and his child, his homestead and his plan
tation, when he went forth to fight his battle
of independence. Wherever they could swim
the Northern gunboats penetrated, and, so
long as they were accompanied by this flying
artillery, which also afforded an easy means of
transport for all the wants of an army, the Fed
erals proved irresistible. The time came at
last, however, when it is necessary to advance
beyond the reach of gunboats, and then, as we
in England always predicted, the Federal diffi
culties began. The Confederates withdrew
fro ii before Washington, but the Federals could
not follow them, and Gen. Beauregard disap
peared from tlie lines at Corinth, leaving Gen.
Halleck quite unable to pursue him. The great
Army of the West have been reduced to inac
tivity, Lut the Army of the East has contrived,
by means ot marine transport, to place itself
on the South oast of Richmond, thus interpos
ing that Capital and the whole army ol the Con
federates between itself and the remainder of
the Federal forces. As if this was not enough,
Gen. McClellan disposed his men on a piece of
ground divided by three rivers, thus giving
every facility for the destruction of his army
in detail. The catastrophe has time, as might
have been expected. Almost surrounded by
their enemies, the Confederates, moving on
shorter lines, had always the opportunity of
throwing an overwhelming force on any point
which they chose to attack. An advantage
once gained was vigorously improved, and af
ter seven days’ hard fighting the Federal army
is rolled up into a dense mass, the destiny oi

that which has been prematurely announced.
After pouring fourth blood like water, and. fer
tilizing the fields of Virginia with thousands of
aarpses, the North tiwls itself obliged to begin
all over again, with credit destroyed, a ruined
revenue, a depreciated currency, and an enor
mous debt. Nay, as if these were not sufficient,
a Republic, based avowedly on the inalienable
right ol man to personal liberty, to life, and to
the pursuit oi happiness, and on the principle
that Governments are formed for the purpose
of establishing these rights, begins to talk of
levying 300,000 men by conscription.
Will nothing arrest this frantic and suici
dal rage ? Is there no one from whom the
American people will listen to the words of
truth and soberness ? We know that coun
sels of moderation, ever distasteful in them
selves, are doubly distastef ul when coming from
us; but we can scarcely believe that the infatu
ated multitude will remain as blind to the
teaching of facts as they have hitherto been
deaf to the voice of well-meant expostulation.
What proofdo they yet require that they are
embarked on a fatal and ruinous cause ? Their
wealth is turned into poverty, their peace into
discord, their prosperity into wretchedness; the
power in which they gloried is effaced ; society
is torn in pieces by the hands of its own mem
bers ; law is trampled under foot, and the
country ‘is fAst falling into anarchy, the only
refuge ftom which is despotism. We do not
scruple to say that we shall rejoice li tho worst
anticipation be realized—not from any ill will
to tbe North, but because we see in the failure
of its efforts to subjugate the Southern States
the only prospect—we had almost said the
only possibility—ot peace.
There is something pathetic, when compared
with the language to which we have been ac
customed, in tbe extreme thankfulness with
which New York hails the escape of the army
from absolute perdition. We hear no more of
“strategetic movements,” of bets that McClel
lan would be in Richmond in a week. Truth
and nature have at last found utterance, and
the language of empty swagger and wilful
faiehood is thrown aside. ‘‘Could the army
once make a stand, be permitted a brief inter

this fact, nor exult too much over it; it is the
salvation of the army ; therefore, though we
have, perhaps, lost men by thousands and
guns by hundreds, we announce the news with
gladness.” We earnestly hope that this so
berness of tone and humbleness of expectation
is an indication ol the first step in a change of
public opinion which may induce tbe Norjb to
shake off the sanguinany dream of conquest

Army Correspondence of tlie Kictnnond Dispatch.
THE CAMPAIGN ACROSS THE POTOM AC.
Wincuester, Sept. 20.
Having arrived at Winchester on the evening
of the 18th, 1 proceed to give you a condensed
statement of the important evenls which have
occurred on, or near the uppei Potomac, within
the last few weeks.
On Saturday, the 6th of September, the Con
federate aruiy reached Frederick City, in Mary
land, encamping for the most part, a mile or
two Southeast of the city, on the side towards
Washington. But few forces actually entered
Frederick until Tuesday, the 9th. On that
day and the next, our whole army took up the
line of march, passing throguh Frederick west
ward, on the turnpike leading to Hagerstown.
A part of the army proceeded as far ns the
latter place.
A few days after, one portion crossed the
Potomac at or near Williamsport, and ma.rrhed
to Harper's Ferry, via Martinsburg. The Yan
kee forces at the latter place fell hack to Har
per’s Ferry—which was invested by our forces
on both sides ol the river. The attack
begun on Sunday, the 14tb., and on Monday
morning, the 15th, the entire Yankee army
capitulated. It was coniman Ued by Gen. White.
The Federal General, D. S. Miles, was killed.
We took over 11,000 priso ners, besides about
1,000 runaway slaves, a larije number of Union
refugees, over 13,000 small arms, Irom 50 to 70
pieces ol artillery, and stor es and ammunition
to tbe value of several millions of dollars.
The prisoners, including officers, were parol
ed, and the captured slaves, arms, and other
property, sent back to places of safety.
Un Friday, the 12th, (two days alter our
main arm}* had passed westward from Freder
ick,) McClellan approached Frederick with his
grand army from the direction ol W ashington,
his first object bfiing the rescue of .his army at
Harper's Ferry.
In this he was completely foiled by the ge
nius of our noble chieftain, Gen. Lee.
so arranged that General Longstreet, w
command, held “young Nepoleon” in che_
til the Yankee forces at the Ferry had m ipitu-
lated—and this almost in sight of McCle Han !
Longstreet then fell back to unite with . lack-
son and Hill, who, having finished their j< ib at
the Ferry, marched to join him.
On Tuesday, the 16th of September the two
grand armies encountered each other t iear
Sharpsburg, in Maryland. The scene of c on-
flict was a valley about two miles wide, r un-
ningsouth from Boonsboro’ to the Potomac i av
er near Sharpsburg, the latter place being m jar
the Maryland side of the Poiomac, and sot lie
miles up the river from Shepherdstown. Tl tis
valley is divided by tho Antictam creek, wife Jh
runs down it into the Potomac a lew miles b c-
low Shepherdstown. On the east side of ti tc
valley and of the Antietain lay McClellan, wii h
the abrupt Blue Ridge mountain behind hit) l
On the west side of the ^tntietam lay Gen Lee s
army with high mountaii s rising in his rear.
The battle commenced on Tuesday afternoon,
was renewed on Wednesday, and was comin
ued until the night of that day. At that t ; ■•*«•
Jackson had driven back tbe enmm ' 0 .
wing for several miles, while Longstrcu. and
Hill had also forced back his centre and Jett—
we holding the battle-field, but VlcCIcilau still
bolding a position between the Autictam and
the Blue Ridge.
The battle was one of the hardest fought of
the war. The lion. Alex’r Boteler, in a speech
made here last nigh', just after his arrival from
the army, stated that it was estimated that our
losses would not exceed in killed, wou inert,and
missing, 5,000—while that of the en -my was
estimated at 20,000.
There was no fighting on Thursday. On
that night our army crossed, without molesta
tion and in good order, to this side of the river
near Shepherdstown. Of the plan for their fu
ture movements I know nothing. Whether we
are to recross after the equinoctial storms are
or wh' thei this is to be the end, for this
sca.ou, of our tiaii8-Potomac campaign, Gen.
Lee knows, but not 1.
If this is to be the end lor the present, the
two weeks across the Potomac has been so full
of success and glory that every {Southern heart
should feel full of pride and joy. The capture
of tlie whole Harper's Ferry army—the grea
test capture of prisoners, Ac., ever made at one
time on this continent—was sufficient reward
for the crossing of the Potomac.
One word as to the reception of our army on
the Maryland side. Many may be disappoint
ed. Recruits came by hundreds, when they
were expected by some to have joine 1 us by
thousands. But we must take m consideration
that the army|remained at Frederick bt it three
days; that the whole route through wl lich we
passed was that part of the State cot isidered
most strongly Union ; that even Southe rn men
of that section before joining our ar my and
risking their all, wished to know whe ther the
movement was to be a mere temporary raid, or
an effort for permanent relief. When v ;e con
sider these things we can well understai id why
it was idle to expect any more from Ma ryland
than we actually received. Even as thine s were
large numbers were on their way to
army at the very time it was leaving. Sin ce we
left, every man w ho made any show/ ot open

THE BATTLE OF WEDNESDAY.
We have succeeded in obtaining, from the
most reliable sources, tbe following details of
the great battle of Wednesday:
On the afternoi^HL Tuesday, the 16th, the
enemy opened a li^^Rfetillery fire on our line.
Earlv the next morning it was renewed more
vigorously’, and large masses of the Federals
who had crossed the Antietain above our posi
tion, Assembled on our lelt. They advanced in
three compact lines. The divisions of Generals
McLawx, K. II. Anderson, A. P. Hill and Wal
ker, who were expected to have joined Gen.
Lee on the previous night, had not come up.—
Generals Jackson’s and Ewell’s divisions were
thrown to tlie left of Generals Hill and Long
street. The enemy advanced between the An
tietam and the Sharpsburg and Hagerstown
turnpike, and was met bv General 1). H. Hill’s
and the left of General Longstreet’s divisions,
where the conflict raged, extending to our en
tire left The enemy was repulsed and held in
check; but prior to the arrival of the divisions
of MeLaws, Anderson and Walker, who had
been advanced to support the lelt wing and
centre, as soon as they had crossed the Poto
mac on the morning of the 17th, that portion
of our line was forced back by superior num
bers. As soon, however, as these forces could
be brought into aciion a severe conflict ensued.
The enemy was driven back, our line was res
tored, and our position maintained during the
rest of the day.
In the afternoon the enemy advanced on our
right, where fleneral Jones’s division was pos
ted, and he handsomely maintained his posi
tion. The bridge over the Antietain creek was
guarded by General Toombs’s brigade, which
gallantly resisted the approach of the enemy;
but their superior numbers enabling them to
extend their left, they crossed below the bridge
and forced our line back in some confusion.—
Just at ibis time, between 3 and 4 P. M., Gen
eral A. P. Hill, with five of his brigades, hav
ing reached the scene ol action, drove the en
emy immediately b ink from the position they
was had taken,and continued the contest until dark,
restoring our right and maintaining our ground.
When the battle closed, after having raged
furiously during the entire day, we retained
possession of the field and the enemy retired to
hi.s ,'ormer position. The conduct of many ot
our officers is reported by General Lee to have
exhibited tlie most conspicuous and brilliant
courage. Our loss was considerable, and we
have to deplore the fall of Generals Branch and
Starke, who died as soldiers love to die, in de
fence of their country.
Generals R. H Anderson, Lawton, Ripley,
Armstead, Gregg and Wright, are reported to
have been wounded—none of them, however,
dangerously. In addition to the above, we
learn from persons who have arrived Irom the
field, that on the iollowing day General Lee,
