that tka States composing the Southern Confeder
acy will be compelled to pay the immense War

North is well aware that the people of the South
despise, loath, detest them. They do not expect
that fraternal teeiing will ever be restored be

This War must last several years longer if the

wage it to the last man and the last dollar. What
a sum then must the War debt of the North have

fined in the prison, corner of Twentieth and Cary
streets.
As wehave before stated, the forci s comprising
the reconnoisauee consisted of the First aud
Secoud Regiments of Virginia cavalry, General
Stuart; the*Jeff. Davis Legion, the cavalry ot the
Cobb Legion, and three piecesof artillery. These
rendi/.voused during Thursdayjat Ashland, and
started to the work on Friday morning. Captain
Latane was killed in the skirmish near Tunstall’s
s atiou. He commanded a squadron of cavalry,
and acted very gallantly. Five balls struck him
in ihe body, and lie fell from his horse and died
instantly. A number of the Yankees were killed
and captured here, and several of our men woun
ded slightly. When approached at close quarteis
the Yankee cavalrymen tumbled from their hor
ses and took to the woods and thickets, leaving
their horses and equipments in our posWsion.
The body o! Captain Latane was placed in an am
bulance. with tiie wounded, and sent back over the
route towards Ashland.
The depot at Tunstall’s was burnt, and the most
valuable portable property secured. The train
fired upon consisted of eight flats or gondolas till
ed with soldiers, and was coming from the direc
tion ot the White House towards Tunstall’s.
Au attempt was made to turn the railroad
switch so as to bring the train to the Station, but
it was found to be locked. When the train was
iiist heard approaching, the cavalry was some dis
tance from the road, and Pad to ride very bard to
got uji iu time to obstiuct the track and deliver]
a volley, which did great execution, the Yankees
falling from the cars by scores. The cavalry kept
in rapid morion in detached.squads, so as to pre»
vent information of their whereabouts from being
conveyed to the main body of the enemy. Halts
were only made long enough to complete the
w ork ot destruction at the various points, aud to
pick up a few prisoners in their palh. All around
they could be seen skipping over the fields like
frightened deer, but their capture was deemed
baldly worth the danger a halt might incur.

is dangerous while smoking, no matter how ferocious
when otherwise employed. He can then be approach

the while, opens his eyes in a kindly light on his fol

Pipes are essentially “pipes of peace,” and it was
something more than custom that yitroduced them into
councils of the Indian braves, when the result of their
deliberations was either the passage round the circle
of the pipe or the resort to the tomahawk.
Then let the soldier have his pipe. Let him carve

Tho Northern papers at last admit that the on
to Richmond movement is, so far, a disastrous
failure. The Boston Transcript, in a formal pro-
nuuciamento which the New York Herald as
cribes to the Militaiy Committee of the Senate,
charges the responsibility upon McClellan. Tbe
Herald responds to this charge admitting that “ter
rible blunders have been made,’’and “somebqdy
is responsible for them,” but it is not George B.
McClellan, but Secretary Stanton and tbe abo
lition Generals in Congress, who lock away the
j-chief command fiom McClellan, assigned him a
j subordinate position, divided his army, deranged
j his plans, precipitated’his movements more than

a third to McDowell to operate on tho Rappahan
nock, and the fourth to McClellan to operate on
the peninsula between the James and York rivers.
The object of this arrangement was to enable Mc
Dowell, who held the central position, to slip into
Richmond while McClellan was laying siege to
Yorktown, which it was necessary for him to re
duce before he could make any further advance.
McClellan was thus to he deprived of all tho fruits
of his exertions —the eclat of capturing the rebel
capital. But by some fatal blundering the plan
was frustrated. The Pathfinder lost bis path in
tiie mountains, Banks ran away to Maryland, n
distance of sixty miles in two Jays. Shields, a
ant General, with a portion of Banks’ army
was nowhere, while McDowell was flitting back
ward and forward between the Rappahannock
and Washington doing nothing. The panic crea
ted was equal to that of Bull Iiun, and was great
ly enhanced by the alarming despatches from the
War Department about the Danger of Washing
ton.—It is scarcely necessary to say that fln-s#
events were not very well calculated to avert for
eign intervention.
But all may be remedied if McClellan is prompt
!y reinforced. If needful, the Herald says, the
entire “melish” of the Eastern. Middle and Wes
tern States should be precipitated on Richmond at
once!
Considerable quantities of oranges, lemons,
pineapples, raisons and other delicacies, rare in
this section, secured from the spoils captured
from the enemy were brought to this city, yester- i
day'.
Much praise is accorded General Stuart by his
command for his bravery and coolness, he being I
the first to plunge his horse into the Chickahomi-j
nym regaining this side, remarking as lie did so, i
‘there may be danger ahead, men,but I will see”
follow me.”
We learn that McClellan's telegraph coromun-
e’aticn with Fortress Monroe and Washington
was cut by the cavalry about three miles this side ,
of the white house. The horses and mules cap- ,
tured from the enemy arrived in the city yester
day. The mules are line looking animals, and j
