.VI EMM AGE OF OI.E ABE.
To the Federal Congress, Four'll July, 1861.
Once more, Representatives, Senators all,
You come to my Capitol, swift at my call.
’Tis well: for you’ve something important! to do
In this most disgraceful national stew :
For since I came hither to run the machine.
Disguised in Scotch Cap and full Lincoln green,
There’s the devil to pay in the whole d—d con
cern.
As from Cameron, Seward and Chase yon will
learn;
Yet, though everything here of a burst-np give
warning,
I’m certain you'll put it all right in the morn
ing:
So to do as I tell you, be on the alert.
For the panic’s fictitious and nobody’s hurt.
1 have started no war of invasion, you know,
Let who will pretend to deny it—that’s so.
But I saw from this White House an impudent
rag,
Which they told me was known as Jeff Davis'
flag,
A waving above Alexandria high.
Insulting my Government, flouting the sky :
Above my Alexandria (is'nt it, Bates ?
Retrocession's a humbug; what rights have the
States’)
So I ordered young Ellsworth to take the rag
down,
Mrs. Lincoln, she craved it to make a new
gown—
But young Ellsworth, he kinder got shot in the
race,
Aud came back in a galvanized burial case:
But then Jackson, the scoundrel, he got his de
sert—
The panic's fictitious and nobody's hurt.
It is true I sent steamers which tried for a week
To silence the rebels down there at the Creek :
But they had at Game Point about fifty or more
Rifled cannon set tip in a line on the shore,
And six thousand Confederates practised to fire
’em,
(Confound these Virginians, we never can tire
’em 1)
Who made game of our shooting and crippled our
fleet,
So we prudently ordered a hasty retreat;
With decks full of passengers, dead heads, in
deed,
For whom of fresh coffins theie straightway was
need.
And still later at Gresham’s they killed Captain
Ward,
In command of the Freeborn, ’twas devilish
hard—
But iu spite of all this, the rebellion’s spurt.
The panic's fictitious and nobody’s hurt.
Herewith I beg leave to submit the report
Of Butler, the General, concerning the sport
They had at Great Bethel, near Fortress Mon
roe,
With Hill and Magruder some four weeks ago ;
And here let me say a more reckless intruder
I never have known than this Colonel Magru
der;
He lias taken the Comfort away from Old
Point,
And thrown our peninsular plans out of joint;
While in matters of warfare to him General But
ler
Would scarce be thought worthy to act as a sut
ler,
And the insolent rebels will call to our faces
The fight at Great Bethel the “New Market
Races :’’
Tiien supersede Butler at once witli whoever
Can drive this Magruder into the river ;
And I shall be confident still to assert
That the panic's ficticious and nobody's hurt!
’Tis my province, perhaps, herein briefly to state
Tiie state, of my provinces, surly of late,
Missouri and Maryland—one has the paw
Of my Lyon upon her, and one has the law
Called martial proclaimed through her borders
and cities,
Both are crushed, a Big Thing, I make bold to
say it is.
St. Louis is silent and Baltimore is dumb,
They hear but tiie monotone roll of my drum.
Iu the latter vile seaport I ordered Cadwaliader,
To manacle freedom, and though the crowd fol
lowed her.
Locked up in McHenry, she's safe, it is plain.
With Merryman, Habeas Corpus and Kane.
And as for that crabbed old dotard. Judge
Tftnpy.
For much, I would put him on board of the Paw
nee,
And make his decisions a little more curt.
For the panic's fictitious and nobody's hurt!
And now I'll just sav what I'd have you to do
In order to put your new President through—
First, three hundred millions is wanted, by
Chase,
He cannot run longer the Government’s face :
And Cameron wants, tor the use of old Scott,
Some three huudred thousand more men than
he's got.
Then sixty new iron-plate ships to stand shells
Are loudly demanded (must have ’em) by-
Welles,
For England, the bully, won't stand our block
ade, .
And insist that we shall not embarrass her
trade ;
But who fears the British ? I'll speedily turn
’em
As sure as my name is E Pluribus Unum,
For I am myself the whole United States :
Constitution and Laws, (if you doubt it ask
Bates,)
The Star Sangled Banner's my holliday shirt—
Hurrah for Abe Lincoln, nobody there's hurt !
[ Richmond Ring-
[From the Richmond Examinoi.]
The War and its Results.
A three-years yvar would be better for
the South than that immediate peace,
which should restore friendly relations and
renew trade and intercourse with the North.
We have been so long dependent on New
England in almost every department of
business, and the affairs of our citizens are
so mixed up and inter-ramified with theirs,
that an early peace, unless very cautious
ly and carefully guarded in its provisions,
would be sure to restore in a great meas
ure, our former dependence. Again we
should be flooded with Yankee goods, Yan
kee manufactures, Y ankee teachers,preach
ers, pedlers and drummers. Again their
vile literature—their hooks, magazines,
reviews and newspapers yvoidd infest ns
thick and noxious as the plague of Egypt,
and inoculate our people with their shal
low thought, taxvdry fashions, mischievous
theories and gross immoralities. Again
would our merchants flock to their cities,
our youth to their schools, colleges and
universities, and our rich and fashionable
men and women to their watering places.
A peace attended xvith these consequences,
or even a part of them, would he worse
than a three years’ war, for such a peace
yvould rob the South of its money and its
mind, destroy its nascent manufactures and
prevent the groyvtli of its foreign com
merce. Such a peace would impoverish
the south and restore the xvealth of the
North. In all but name, xve should again
become theij slaves and tributaries.—
Trade now conquers faster than arms;
and the centres of trade are the seats of
power; whilst the countries which they
trade with are their subjects, their provin
ces, or their colonies. If disunion does
not build up centres of trade and cen
tres of thought and centres of fashion in
the South, disunion will have eft’ected
little good. Centralization is one of the
great evils of the day, and the only way
to become independent of centralization
from without is to create centres within.
YYhilst a speedy peace is alinst sure to
make us again the tributaries of Northern
trade and Northern centralization, a three-
years’ war would be certain to make us
sufficiently independent of all nations, by
teaching us to live within our selves, to do
our own hand-work and our own head-
work, to write our own books and make
our own shoes, to manufacture onr own
doctors, professors and pillvenders, to
build our own houses and make onr own
clothes. In effecting all this, we should
necessarily establish centres of trade, of
manufactures, of education, of thought and
of fashion.
The very hope of a speedy peace is do
ing us much harm, by preventing men
from undertaking various forms of manu
facture which they knew would prove
profitable during the war, but would be
ruinous after a peace, patched up on Y'an-
kee or Submissionist terms.
YVe desire peace as much as most men,
and would not have the war continue one
moment after its legitimate purposes have
been attained. But this is a war of inde
pendence—we are independent whilst it
lasts; and if peace is to restore depen
dence, we say, then better fight on—fight
forever!
There is a greater danger to he appre
hended from a hasty and incautious peace
than any we have as yet suggested, and
which we have, therefore, reserved for
separate consideration. It is bad enough
to deal with Northerners—to have them
visit us, and to he forced to visit them—
Unt it would be ruinous to have them come
down upon us in shoals as numerous as the
mackerel and cod about their coasts, to
seize the ballot-box and control the helm
of State. Unless the terms of peace ex
clude them this they will certainly do.
The Y ankees arc not farmers, and few
will remove to the Northwest YVe have
been their best customers—have bought
most of their manufactures—and, if we
refuse to go to them, they will certainly,
(unless prevented) come to us. Lowell
and Salem, Boston and Hartford, and eve
ry other town and village in New England,
will empty their scoundrel bossas, theii
filthy factory hands and starving laborers
upon us. They will change the whole
tone and character of our society, and
soon, uniting with the Submissionist, abo-
litionize one-half of the South.
No treaty of peace will be worth a fig
that does not effectually exclude Yankee
notions and Y'ankee people. Our tariff
should discriminate against their good, and
our naturalization laws against them
selves.
The Militia.—About four thousand
militia from the surrounding country are en
camped in town, and a finer body of men
we have never seen. They have prompt
ly responded to the call upon them, with
out a murmur, leaving their wheat and
hay in theswarth, and, in many instances,
no one behind to protect their property
fromdestruction. The ordering out of the
entire militia is a severe drain upon this
section of the State, and we can but trust
that, in justice to all sections of the States,
the militia may be drafted, and each coun
ty be compelled to furnish its due por
tion of troops. In fact this should be done
in all of the States and not leave the bur
dens of the war to fall upon any one State,
much less on anyone particular section of
a State. We have heard the complaint
made that Y’irginia is not doing her part
in furnishing troops for the war. This
sounds strange in the face of the fact that
Virginia has more troops now in arms in
this State than all of the other States uni
ted. Augusta county alone has furnished
more troops for this war than some of the
States, (we allude, of course, to the South
ern troops now in the State. The theatre
of war is here, and it is of little moment
how many troops may he in arms in the
extreme Southern States, unless they come
on to the field of action.) YVe allude to
this in no complaining or captious spirit,
but as a sheer act of justice to our own
State, which has, we think, been unjustly
reflected upon.— Winchester Virginian.
Gen. Johnston.—This distinguished offi
cer, on Sunday last, resumed his original
position, and has again made YVincbester
his headquarters. He moved forward from
here to meet Patterson’s command up
wards of a week since, and three times of
fered the invaders a fight; but they, pro
tected by the petticoats in Martinsburg,
declined to come out and test the temper
of our Southern steel. After a fruitless
effort to induce the enemy to give him bat
tle, General Johnston retired with his com
mand to this point, where he is prepared
to receive an attack or advance upon the
enemy whenever they may be disposed to
offer an engagement, without risking the
lives of the women and children in Mar
tinsburg.
YVhilst all may not be able to appreci
ate his movements, yet neither officers or
privates question for a moment the wis
dom or propriety of his actions. True,
we have some veterans of our town of
great military experience—Men who have
for years back seen the militia annually
parade our streets—and who consequently
must be well versed in the science of the
trade of death, who would willingly give
the General much valuable information,
and might perhaps he induced for a small
consideration to act as his aids during the
interval between battles.
Perhaps no officer in the service enjoys
a greater reputation amongst the military
men of the country than Gen. Johnston.
Certain it is that he has the faculty of in
spiring—not only the confidence, but the
admiration of all those under his imme
diate conimrnd. Abundant evidence of
this can be had in the deafening and en
thusiastic shouts that greet him whenev
er he makes his appearance amongst them.

Are we ready ? YVe learn that Mont
gomery comity has now enrolled one thou
sand Minute Men. They have one thou
sand five hundred shot-guns, muskets and
rifles. They also have seven pieces of
artillery, which will in a short time be rea
dy for active service. The Commander
is Robert YY T . Humphreys, a gentleman
who led a company gallantly on some of
the hardest fought battle-fields of Mexi
co.
Let every county in the State follow
the example of Montgomery. Enroll its
men, prepare its artillery and small arms,
and be ready for the invaders. Not a
moment is to be lost, for our homes and
onr families are to be protected against the
most reckless horde of invaders that ever
disgraced the battlefields of any country
in the last three centuries. Let ns be
unanimous at the ballot-box. Let us be
unanimous in support of every measure
to arm our citizens and sustain them. Let
the people be aroused to the greatness of
the danger which surrounds them. Let us
recollect the burning of houses, the des
truction of property, the violation of fe
males, which mark the footsteps of the dia
bolical and marauding Yankees. Let us
recollect that the tone of the Northern pa
pers encourages a course of blood and
atrocity which we could only have expec
ted of Mahomedans rushing on Syrian
Christians. Let us be ready for them.
Let every man in the State recollect that
if he has in his own house a good musket or
rifle, that we are at once invulnerable to
the ravages of the barbarians who are,
with a portion of their troops, about to in
vade Tennessee.
Let us recollect that the few Southern
men who are showing dissension among
us, who are whining about the glories of the
Union and talking about reconstruction,
are traitors at heart, who will desert to the
invaders the moment they get in sight,
and deliver their State to them, and the
bodies of our commanders to butchery and
their property to confiscation.
Let every man be armed, and let him
be fully aroused to the danger of the oc
casion, If we resolve to be a free people,
we have the power to he so. If we do not
rise to the occasion, we shall be subjugated,
and this country hereafter controlled by
standing armies in onr midst, and Tennes
see he converted into a Hungary, or a Po
land;
YVe then say to all Tennessee, arouse
and prepare for action.
Laurel Hill is not a mere knob, hut a
long ridge or rib of the Alleghanies, ex
tending for at least one hundred miles in
length. The. Baltimore Ohio Railroad
pierces it by means of the celebrated
Kingwood Tunnel, the longest in the
world. It stretches down in a direction a
little west of south, to the head of waters
of the Kanawha, there called the Green
brier River. The main turnpike leading
to Staunton (over which YY T ise's army
passed from Eastern Y T irginia,) runs along
Laurel Hill’s base. Leadsville, Beverely,
and Huttonville are situated on that turn
pike.
MILITARY* TYRANNY.
There is no fact which has been more
fully verified aud more despondingly ac
knowledged in the war annals of the past,
than that the commander who tyranizes
over his own tioops in the camp is the van
quished party on the field of battle.
Strict, but at the same time humane, mil
itary discipline is the sine qua non of an
efficient soldiery. He who has more than
a limited knowledge of human nature, and
a heart that can feel as well as a brain
that can think, can enforce the most rigid
rules known to the mode of modern war
fare, without forfeiting the confidence,
while lie wins upon the esteem and affec
tion of the soldier under his command.
Such a commander on the field of battle
can achieve a victory over three times the
forces opposed to him, if the commander
of those forces is his antipodes in the con
fidence, esteem and affection of his men.
Some men,when prematurely raised to
a position which is pleasing to their pride
and gratifying to vanity and self-esteem
imagine that they have spontaneously
grown famous, and can scarcely realize
the giddy height of such a “mountain ele
vation.” They are conscious, however,
of one fact: that they are not the “ same
individual!” The idea that they have
suddenly undergone a transmutation, sim
ilar to that which attends the change of
caterpillar into the butterfly becomes a
ruling mania. In their bewildered judg
ments, all of what the French call hauteur
must be instantly assumed. The former
companion, who has been snstantly forgot
ten, and the new made officer struts about
the camp with all the vanity of the pea
cock, all the assumed gravity of the hon
ored owl, and simply all of the military
skill and genius which ho had be
fore.
Not so, however, with the man of true
military skill and genius. He knows too,
well, that in the hour of battle the soldiers
arm is the one onwhich he alone can rely
forthe preservation of laurels won, and
the future laurels which grace the con-
querer’s brow. Consequently he is not only,
in the hours of repose, as well as action,
anxiously solicitous for the protection, pre
servation, comfort and encouragement of
those entrusted to his care. There is ev
er a golden chord of sympathy in his bo
som, sensitively acive to that cordial re
sponse which should ever be given to the
calls of suffering humanity within the pale
of his authority. Ever strict in military
discipline ; ever affable in bearing towards
his inferiors in rank ; ever careful of the
comforts,feelings and wishes of his soldiers,
he wins upon the affections of all, to an
extent that makes it a pleasure for them
even to offer up their lives as a sacrafice
in their country’s cause when led to bat
tle by such a leader.
YYhen, however, even Northern hire
lings, who like the Spaniel expects to be
alternately caressed and kicked, are pla
ced under the command of a man like the
dastardly tyrant at Fortress Monroe, who
appears to live and breathe alone in an
atmosphere engendered by the commission
he holds under a would he despot, noth
ing more can be expected from them in the
hours of inactivity, but disgust, discon
tent and loathing. These feelings are
taken from the tent to battle-field, and
there unnerve the arm, dampen the mil
itary ardor, and too often produce humil
iating defeat when, under different aus
pices, victory would have been certain.
“If I love a man I will die with him ;
if I hate him he may die by himself,” was
the language of a soldier who had fought
in one-half of the battles of the French
empire. As with him, so it is with thous
ands now engaged in the present war.
Revenge is sometimes stronger than pa
triotism; and the soldier may he tempted
to forfeit the battles in the hope oferushing
the commander. Those who have large
bodies or even companies of men under
their control, should bear in mind that we
are fighting against tyranny and usurpa
tion ; not for the privilege of being tyran-
ized over. This fact is as well known to
the soldiers as to the officer, and hence
necessity of mutual respect, confidence
and esteem.—Danville Register.

YY'ise’s Legion, Galley Bridge, *
July 13, 1861. I
1 drop you a line in haste from this ro
mantic spot. The bridge from which the
place is called, spans the Gauley River, at
the very verge of its union with New River
to form by their conflux the Great Kana
wha. A half mile below are the Great
Falls—great, however, only in name—in
significant iu size, and taine in music. The
head of the Valley is just wide enough
for the river’s passage, and it does not
average over a mile iu width until you
approach within five or six miles of Charles
ton, where, upon the right, the mountain
melts away into a succession of round,
arable bills. The Y’alley is of Arcadian
beauty, and rich in soil as a Western
Tempie, while coal, salt and oil creep out
of the earth, or actually pour themselves
on the bosom of the river. We have per
mitted this garden to be so long tributary
to Cincinnati, that she now claims it en
tirely ; and this leads me to what you will
doubtless consider more interesting—the
landing and march upon Charleston of the
Federal forces.
In the first place, the Ohio wolves swam
the river in boats and desolated the beau
tiful plaee and property of Hon. A. S. Jen
kins, member of the late United States
Congress, and destroyed or carried off prop
erty estimated at $30,000.—Capt. Jen
kins, however, has determined to get even
with them; and, to begin, captured a day
or two ago, a steamboat on the Ohio and
took therefrom one box of revolvers and
one ot swords. He is a brilliant partizan
chieftain, and perfectly Starless. YY’lten
last heard from, he was in rear of the Fed
eral army, which is rapidly advancing on
Charleston; he may be cut off', but most
likely his mother mountain will fold him
safely within their bosoms.
As to the advance upon Charleston, the
following is authentic:
On yesterday, at 8 A. YL, the Federal
forces passed through Buffalo in force,
estimated at 3,000, and liter in the daj
2,000 more arrived at that place, (hi the
day before, they bad taken possession of
Point Pleasant, captured two of Capt.
Jenkins’ men. and fired into a crowd of
retreating citizens, killing Mr. S. H. Mil
ler.
On the same day, (Thursday,) they
landed at Guyandotte in force, estimated
by an eye witness at 400, and also drop
ped 100 at Meadow Bottom. This force
is now on the advance, magnified to 1,500.
From Ripley, the county seat of Jackson,
they are advancing also, in numbers esti
mated at not less than 1,200, while Glan-
ville is in’.the hand of the hostile foree,
which I informed you in iny last was wag
ing war in Gilmer. This force is inten
ded to get behind this point, or make a
movement upon it, so as to lock us up in
the Kanawha Y’alley. For ourselves, we
arc in no wise alarmed at these well-plan
ned movements of the enemy. They
have all been foreseen, and, as far as cir
cumstances permited, anticipated. The
very finest spirit prevails, and the coun
try boys are beginning to take down the
deer-skin shot pouch and shoulder that
female instrument which “allers flings her
lead trhar you l'toll her,” called a mountain
rifle. YV'emaybe defeated, but we have
one consolation, uenjn’t he whipped. Ev
ery step will be bravely disputed—every
pass a Thermoplote, and “Resurgam” writ
ten on every grave. L.
Charleston, July 14th.—Upon return
ing here post-haste to-day, I find fhe fol
lowing state of facts: The enemy are com
ing up the Kanawha in boats, and march
ing up on both sides, in force estimated
at from 3,500 to 3,0U0 men. YVhen last
seen, they were twenty-two miles below
here, and our army has marched down to
meet them. Capt. Jenkins met them at
Cabell Court House, but was compelled
to retire, losing two men. He is said to
have killed twenty five or thirty. A bat
tle is expected hourly, and, unless accident
prevents, you shall have the account, by
an eye-witness.

Hon. J. C. Brcckcnridge.—Y\ r e are grat
ified to be able to put the following au
thorized contradiction to the telegraphic
dispatch published in this morning's paper,
to the effect that Mr. Breckinridge sus
tains in the Northern Congress the appro
priation bill which proposes to furnish the
despotism at YY r ashington with the means
to invade the South and desecrate the
homes of its citizens. The authors of the
following note are intimate friends and
acquaintances of Mr. Breckinridge, and
are especially authorized by him to con
tradict all such reports; for he knew they
would be circulated all over the country,
to influence the election in Kentucky,
which is to come off in a few days. By
securing the Union legislature in that
State, they expect to be able to chain
Kentucky to the cariof the Illinois despot;
but we are told that the sentiment of the
State is sound, and that she will take her
stand ere long with her sisters of the
South:
To the. Editors of the Inquirer:
Gentlemen:—YVe feel perfectly author
ized to pronounce the despatch of the
17th, in regard to John C. Breckinridge,
false in every particular. He has not
made a “ submission” speech, nor will he;
nor has he voted for the Force bill, nor
will he ever. Yours
GEORGE W. JOHNSON.
GEORGE HANCOCK.
Scarcity tf Cotton in the Manufacturing
Districts.—A letter from one of the lar
gest manufactures in the East, received
at St. Louis, gives the stock of cotton in
New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore,
all told, at about nine thousand bales,
with no stock of manufactured goods on
hand, while the stock in Louisville, Cin-
cinnatfi and l'ittsbnrgis almost exhausted.
The same letter states that the best inform
ed Eastern merchants are of opinion that
in sixty days cotton will be worth twenty
cents a pound.
All indications tend to approve the ad
vice, “hold on to your cotton.” A cor
respondent of the Augusta Constitutional
ist urges the importance of withholding
the cotton from the seaboard, pending the
war:
I would press upon our planters the ex
pediency of retaining their cotton in the
interior as much as possible. By crow
ding it into the large market towns and
seaports, they will subject themselves to
an expense and risk which would he un
necessary. Until the blockade of the port
has ceased, or there appears a prospect of
its early cessation, there can be no mar
ket, or a very languid one. By placing
his cotton in the market tow ns, the plan
ter will incur the storage and other expen
ses for a prolonged and indefinite time, or
must sell at a sacrifice.
No greater inducement can be offered
to the Lincoln Government for an attack
upon any city or seaport, or for a cotinu-
ance of the blockade than the presence
there of a large quantity of cotton. Cities
will be the chief objects of attack next win
ter, should the war continue; the country,
they well know', is unassailable. Place
one million bales of cotton in New Orleans
or any other port, and the Federal Gov
ernment could cheaply afford to expend
five millions of dollars, and employ an ar
my of one hundred thousand men for the
capture of such a prize. If Lincoln’s pi
rates and fillibusters were unable to effect
its seizure, bis secret inccndaries might ef
fect its destruction. No better bait eonld
be offered to the British and French to
continue their non-intervention policy,
than for Lincoln’s Government to say to
them, “keep band* off in this quarrel, and
when we have captured the ports, the
cotton accumulated there shall go out to
Havre, as it always has done.” Better
do this, w'ould Seward say, or even help the
North and permit trade to resume its for
mer steady course, than by provoking a
war with *us, render yonr supplies preca
rious, uncertain, and liable to capture on
their passage across the Atlantic.
YVith crop stored in in cities at a few as
sailable poinls, such would be the Nor
thern argument to foreigners—scattered
through the country, it would be beyond
the reach of the enemy, and Cotton would
still be King.
Is it not apparent tbat it is better that
Cotton should be kept in interior towns,
accessible to the chief markets in a few
days, or, better still be stored by the plan
ter himself at home until there is a pros
pect of a revival of trade 1

The Bloody Engagement nl Cninp Gnraetl.
HeroicjCondnct of the Confederate Troops!
Col. Seruggs, of YY'arrenton, has kindly
furnished us the following statement of
the fight at Rich Mountain, gathered from
sources which he believed reliable.
This battle, over which the Northern
troops are loudly crowing, was fought on
Thursday last. Onr force, of 1500 men,
under Col. Pegram, was composed of bis
own Regiment and the 44th, Col. YY T m. C.
Scott. Col. Scott was posted with his
Regiment (650) to protect one road run- j
ningup the mountain, and Col. P. with
the rest, and a body of artillery w-ere
posted about two miles off, on another
road. A portion only of Col. Pegram’s
Regiment w as engaged in the fight, num
bering abont 300, all told. These gallant
boys for several hours kept hack 7,000
Hessians, repulsing them five times. Col.
Scott having express orders from Col. Pe
gram to remain in his position, on hearing
the fire, sent Mr. H—to Col. P. to know
if he should advance to his assistance. Un
fortunately. Mr. H. was killed; and after
an hour or two, he not returning, anoth
er aid was sent—Mr. Liffard, of Appoma-
tox, the Quartermaster—who shared tho
same. fate.
After waiting to hear from his last mes
senger a short time, Scott advanced with
his men, 650, and, when he reached the
foot of the mountain, the gallant remnant
ofl’egram’s command were, found. Colo
nel S. then retreated, with all the strag
glers he could find, and reached Monterey,
Highland county, next day, where he stop
ped, being joined by two regiments from
Georgia and North Carolina, raising his
force to 3,000 men, and there he proposes
to give battle.—Gen. Garnett sent him
word that he entirely approved of his re
treat, and ordered him not to stop until
he should reach Buffalo Gap, ten miles the
other side of Staunton. Col. Pegram had
his horse killed under him, and, before
he could disengage himself, was taken
prisoner. Captain Maury, of Buckingham,
and his second and third lieutenants, were
killed, and the whole company killed or
taken except ter,.—The Artillery
were destroyed, so far as can be ascertain
ed, entirely. The brave Captain having
been the last man shot, he firing two
rounds of grape after he had been wounded.
Our loss is about one hundred and fifty
killed and wounded, and one hundred ta
ken. Thirty or forty escaped. YVhatever
General McClellan may report, the loss of
the enemy was not one man less than
three hundred. Our informant tells ns
that when the artillery would he fired
whole files of men would fall. Our men
killed at least as many of the enemy as
they had in the field. Highland Court-
honse is about thirty-five miles from the
battlefield and forty from Btaunton. Col.
Scott reached Beverly in time to save a
very large train of wagons, supposed to be
not less than two hundred, with all his
arms, provisions, &c.
Injustice to Col. Scott, who has been
represented by reports in town as having,
at the proper time, not given the assistance
necessary, our informant says he was,
even after the battle, anxious to engage
his 650 against the 7,000 of the enemy,
but his officers besought him not to do it,
and he retreated, saving everything. Had
he gone to Pegram, or fought them by
himself all would have been taken.
The rest of Col. Pegram’s command
were returning very fast to camp when
last heard from. The writer believes the
above statement to he true, having receiv
ed it from a Lieutenant who was at the
fight.
The British Admiral, Milne, and the
Blockade.—Aletter in the New York Ex
press, from Fort Pickens, says that the
British Admiral, Ylilne, who has been visi
ting the coast to see that the rights of
the English commerce are protected, has
furnished to his snhordiuate, commanders
a definition of what is to be considered as
an effective blockade in the following ar
ticle* :
1. No port is blockaded efficiently if any
vessel can enter or depart from it unknown
to, or in spite of, the guardian men-of-
war.
2. An efficient blockade necessitates tho
complete cutting off of all maritime ingress
or egress, except in regard to harbor is
lands having no outlet to the sea, save,
under the guns of the fleet.
The escape of the third vessel from the
blockade squadron signalizes the invalidity
of the blockade.
The phrase of the second article with
respect to “island harbors” is important,
and seems to give no little uneasiness to
the Northern constructionists of the block
ade, who complain that there are each
harbors as those exempted in Admiral
Milnes’ definition at several of the South
ern ports, which could keep the Confeder
ates in provisions for months.
A Strange Elopement.—A woman aged 50 years,
and the mother of five children, recently eloped
from Iowa with the nephew of her hnabyffl.
The couple went to Peoria, and took up
abode on the opposite side of the nver.
