Editors Intelligence : On the moruiog of the Gtb the 12th Va., 87th Pa. and Carlau's Wheeling battery started on a raid into the unhappy land of Dixie, from Beverly. We progressed about 14. miles the tirst day, pa6Siug through the burned town of lluttonsville. From that time forward our progress was through u "dark aud bloody ground,'* aground tramp led and devastated by the alternate suc cesses of each army. Every farm house, often for 15 or 20 miles, hats beeu consum ed, and the whole country is but an "abom iuatiou of desolation." We bivouaced in the snow and crossed the Cheat Mountain next morning, the scene of the Grey Eagle's victory. Every few miles was the spot where a former fight bad been, Greenbriar, Alleghany Summit, Cheat Mouutain, where thousands of ri bels wintered in now desert ed huts. Of course every habitation was but a nest for bushwhackers, and our boyS spared not flesh or fowj, when night stop ped our progress, nor r.tils when the fire^ Durnert low. rTOe captored over 300 head of finecattle on the glades grazing for the S. C. A. One of tL)o drummers not know ing how to obtalo himself a bed of hay without ^itfaging, acted thus : Driving a farmer's sheep from a dock unobserved by said farmer, be asked him if he would trade a bed of bay for the woolly animal. Upon being answered in the affirmative, be drove the sheep baek to the (lock obsorved by said farmer, and reported to headquarters the transactions. Not bad for a Virginia home-made Yankee. On descending the Allegheny ridge the bushwhackers opened on ns in abont a do zen shots. The indomitable scout Sleigh ton here captured an old classmate oI the writer's, Capt. Dudley Evans of the C. S. A* He wax in Uighland Co., enforcing the conscript act. Sleighton says "a-aro you armed f'NTo '' i ??Well put your watch on that stump." Evans did,so., "Well, well I guess you had betur put th-it back.*' He marched him in. Our main idea was to meet Abdomen, as Irish Jonny of Go. F calls him. We poshed on to Monterey, but do not catch bim. From there, unmolest ed, we go to Franklin, the county seat of Paodletoo, thence 45 miles over tho moun tain by a bridle path where n man eonld not get a wheelbarrow through. Dark, impenetrable^ interminable, Infetnal pine [forest*? *be [ roots " matted ' together on the surface aboofO inches 'apart andl& inches depth of mod between. Where1 the mountain was clcared and harrowed it was smooth as a barn floor.' Major Peirpoiot aptly described it-as "bottom land set oa edge, so eteep that one might fall off his feet and break his neck." At Franklin, two days Before otftne, Sleighton rode.into .town and gave himself ujj to eigtrtor ten bushwhacks. They were Bte'aDdtlienextchojir^oed ' Union to find Nth*em&elvefc surrodndfed bf men riding in at both ends of theftown. On emerging from our lone path we came on the pike five miles from Beverly, and were met by orders to march to Webster, and by D. J. Griffith, oor enterprising sut ler, erer ready to cater to the wants of our regiment. Our fool-sore boyg have now tramped 3? miles to thia place to ship on the railroad to-morrow. Twelve days we bave>trndgetf and xsheerfaHy. The boys arepromiiad shoes at New Creek.

Reactions w?y change events, bat tbej ! cannot niter principles. The Government of ihe United State* and tho Union, of which it ii the supreme authority, are threatened by rebeU in arms. That au thority must be maintained entirely, or it is altogether overthrown. You may make ever no aranll ft hole iu the side of your dlflpi bnt it will be large enough to admit the ocean, and your ehip will inevitably go down. Yon may make the slightest con cession of the threatened authority of the | Government, but in making it you relin quish that authority utterly. If the city ' magistrate and police and militia, after en deavoring for many a day to disperse a riot, should at last nay, "very well what is it that you want?'' and allow the rioters to des troy only one building- or born only one poor Irishman, that city is conquered. Is there any security for pcace, for life any longer, except in tho whim of tho mob?? It is precisely so with the war. Either the Qovernment must be maintained in every particular of its authority, or it is dishon ored entirely. To change it, to allow the rebels to go, to declare that such rebellions end in compromise, is to renounce the Gov ernment altogether, and to proclaim the in tention of surrenaer. The Constitution of the United States clothes the Government with authority to do what, under any circumstances, it inev itably and instinctively would do; namely, defend irs own existence by force. What ever is necessary to this defense the Gov ernment may lawfully do ; and it is, of course, itself the judge of the necessity. It may stop mouths and pens ; it may seixe property and liberate slates ; it may cut off supplies, and by famine and force and fear compel refractory citizens to obedience. All this the Government may do. Com mon sense apprises us of It, even if it were not carefully provided by the Constitution that in case of rebellion and invasion the writ of habeas corpus may be suspended, and that the Ptesideut, us Commander-in Chief of the army and navy, shall forcibly compel submission to the law. But the Government is the people. If they disap prove what is done, it will be undone or it will be fruitless. If they are uot in earn est, they will not justify earnest war. If they are in earnest, they will not tolerate trifling and delay. In our own caso the truth remains true whatever hupuens. If for any reason the people bhall tire of the war, ors.lhe forci ble compulsion of robels to obey the I law: if they shall say that they are i willing to put uowu the insurrection if they : cau do it with half a million of men and five hundred millions of dollars, bnt not if the work requires six hundred thousand uieuand a thousand million of dollars: if they shall say that they aro willing to use field-pieces but not gunboats; if they say ? that they do not objcct to cutting off a sup j ply train, but do object to touchiog, or . even trying to touch, the source of the j supplies: if they shall say that they are ! willing to shoot rebels in the field, but that they prefer to guard the slaves of rebels ! npou the plantations: if they shall declare ! that everybody may say and do just what ' he pleases dunug the war, short of actual ! ly taking up nrtns against the Gorerment: J if they shall say that the rebellion was really caused by the men who are now fighting against it, and not by toe rebels themselves : and, finally, if they shall say that the game is nut worth the candle, and that they will no longer ''imbue their hands in frutricidul blood," they will compel the authorities to make peace with the rebels upon the best possible terms, whether of separation or compromise. Such a result is inevitable if the pgople aro tired of the war. That such a peace could be but a truce breaking into worse wars may be true, but that would not help the result* That such a peace would be the total destruction of the Government, the ruin, of the popular system, and tb^ betray al of the hope of civil liberty every where, is unquestionably true; but what then t If the people are willing to betray themselves, to be forever disgraced, and to become the scorn of history, it is in vain that the au thorities protest. What then is the duty of every truly loyal man ? Simply to show as plainly as he can that the welfare of each one of us depends upon tho unconditional maintenance of the Government; that no civil right is secure for a moment except in this Government; and, therefore, tb?t to maintain it the most decisive and radical measures must be adopted by the authorities and supported by the people. There have always been, there will nlway* be, but two issues otft of the war. One is absolute victory: the other is entire submission. If we are truly in earnest as the rebels are, we shall win the victory cost what it may. If we are not in earnest, we shall be conquered and dis graced. The Washington County Hoys who are In the Cavalry Service In West-* em Virginia* Camp at New Cheek, Va. Editorm Wat hint/ Ion, Pa. Examiner: Being relieved from duty this afterooon, ! have concluded to give yon a brief ac count of the Keystone Cavalry aioee they left Camp Wilier, Va. Bot before proceed ing any further let me say I am not an ed ucated man, nor do I pretend to write a letter that will tickle the fancy of every one; bnt merely propose to give yon some of the inofdents which have occurred dur ing our shor* camp life. We left Camp Wiliey on the ISth of Oc tober, and took, the cars for Clarksburg, ar riving there about,! i o'clock that night ? We lay in the cars all night, and a glori ous night it was, for the mischievions boys .fvopld let none sleep that wanted to. The next morning qbite an excitement wat rais ed In regard to who were cooks. At leogtb two were elected, bat, by the by, tbey had got our little corporal "Wooly" among them. "Wooly" declared bis name was d6t x\sbery, and'proved It fcy washing bis face. Some proposed to calf the roll, but the two darkeys stepped forward.? After getting sortie breakfast we stared to camp, a distunes of about two miles. Our camp was situated on the, railroad leading from Graftoit to Parkersburg, and about four hundred yards from the north branch < of the Monongahela river. We were en camped there from Tuesday till 8 no day.?] About ifc o'clock Cspt. Keys came riding , into camp with march ingordecs. By three o'clock we wsreoo the road to New Creek, j Nothing of importance occurred till about < three o'clock on Tuesday evening, when we came in sight of the advance of Geo. vox's wagon train. Mot being aw%re of his.mov ing np that way', the idea prevafled'tbat it was some of Jeffs "pet devils'* goiog on a foraging expedition* The Mt wal'eotytd ed, sad our colors unfurled. Hot afflM flinched, but all rested themselves more! firmly in the saddles, expecting soon to beer (be ball open. But the Union sijrnal was given, and the fun was all over. Yon might then have heard snch epithets as "curse the lack" sounded all along the line. Bnt presently op rides oar good na tured ??Friday" with: "Lookey here, Judas Priest 1 What do you think? Why, old Boh (his favorite horse) and me bad a wrestle, and he. threw me twice. Bui IM1 try him again when we get to camp by Ju das !" This put the boys in a good humor, and we went "marching along." We arri rivei in camp 00 (be 22df tired and worn out. We lay by till Tuesday evening, the 28th, about three o'clock, when a man came riding into camp with news that th?* rebels bad captured a large amount of cattle about twelve miles from our camp and were driving them to Jackson's camp. Qen. Kelley was immediately telegraphed to, and he ordered all the cavalry force and part of Mulligan's battery to go in pursuit j immediately- By six o'clock in tbe eve ning two pieces of tbe batteiy, the Ring* gold, the Keystone, and Capt. Young's cavalry?all under the command of Colo nel Quirk?were on the road in pursuit of the rebels. We marched all night over the roughest roads imaginable, aud made through Greenland Gap just as day broke, af cr having considerable trouble in cros sing our artillery where a bridge had been burned by tbe rebels. We were then or dered to fasten all blanket9 to oar saddles nnd "forward.*' We daebed on at a furi ous rate for twenty miles further, without feed for Ourselves or horses. About 3 o'clock we captured two of Imboden's cav alry at a house where they had gone to spend a few hours with their "ducks;" but their pleosnre was cut short by the appear ance of tbe Pennsylvania boys. Abont 3 miles further we turned to the right op over what is called "Tarecoat Knob." There we began to find signs of tbe rebels, and we flew for abont two miles, when we came in contact with their pickets which we drove in on donble quick. Turning a bend in tbe road we suddenly came in sight ol their camp, nnd they had already formed in line of battle. One piece of our artillery was run forward and immediately belched forth a shell which lit bandy to their liue, and scattered them like smoke. They gave us one volley, but sent their balls flying far above our hea ls, and then broke for the cattle?trying their utmost to drive them into the woods. But a few shells soon caused them to abandon that enterprise. They then tried to form ou tbe road, but our uoble sous of Erin dropped a shell in their midst which scattered them likecbafl', and they did not try to form agaiu. A charge was immediately ordered. Forward we dashed, every one for himself, and it pnt me more in iniud of n fox bunt than anything else. We captured 170 head of caule, 21 horses, aud 18 prisoners. They , acknowledge a loss of three killed, but they were all carried off the Geld. Your correspondent in riding o?er tbe battle ground saw a puddle of blond close to where a shell lit among them. There was none of our force hurt. The i prisoners were very poorly dressed and have inferior arms. In conversation with , one of the most intelligent of them, I askeu ; him if be did not wish tbe war was over : He said he did, out they were not discour- I aged. The most of this party was.Stew- i arv's cavalry. They numbered in all -about. 200 men and were eent out to capture hor ses and cattle for Jacknon's army. In regard to tbia part of tbe world, it is very rough, and the people are the most God-forsaken looking people 1 ever saw ? A sight of a Wasbinton county man, nr a a Brush Run gal, would do a sick soldier more good than a dose of pills The bugle is sounding for supper, and 1 must try a sheet.iron cracker and see which it or my teeth is the hardest.

A Spiritual HaalfcaUtlODi Slight digressions from the narration of war news are occasionally pardonable in an army correspondent. Here is a case illus trative of tbe infallibility of spiritual man ifestations and its truth is vouched for.? In Ogle county. III., there lived, a couple of years ago, a man named C , a farmer, tolembly well to do in the world, but given to drinking and "spreeing" withal. He bad tbe misfortune to be tbe husband of a strong-minded woman, whose disposition bordered on tbe termagant. Mr. C. joined the army about a year ago. Hts neighbor said he did so, not for tLe sake of fighting tbe rebels, but to avoid fighting bis wife. Shortly after his enlistmeut he was report ed killed in a skirmish with tbe rsbels, somewhere in tbe SVentern Department.? His wife, who had never, since their mar- ' riage, shown a very preat amount of affec ! lion for him, now that be was, as she ' thought, dead, wept bitter tears,*and mourned ber bereavement in customary suitB of solemn black. His faults were all buried in oblivion, and his virtues alone lived after him in a very magnified form.? At tbe advice of ber friends, Mra. C consulted a well-known spiritual medium, and bad a very interesting and affecting interview with tbe departed spirit of her dear husband. She assured him, from ber terrestial stand-point, that the bad always loved him while he tarried here be low, and that, though she had occasionally used tbe broomstick to him, still, behind a frowniug oountenanee, she had always bid den a smiling face. lie in return, admitted that while in the body he was given to oc casional spiritual influences, aud not ua> frequently transcended tbe bounds of the marital relation, but be meant no barm by it.
