THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1862.
Tin; JfEWS.
The news from Cincinnati is of an ex
citing character. The latest dispatches
State that the enemy, under Gen. Heath,
had appeared within two miles of Fort
ilitehel, and that skirmishing was in pro
gress among the pickets. The strength of
the rebels at this point was not known,
hut it was thought that Gen. Kirby Smith’s
army was about 16,000 strong. Our forces
Were drawn up In line of battle, and a
fight was expected at daylight this morn
ing.
A dispatch frem Harrisburg reports that
Jackson has pushed on from Frederick to
Hagerstown, Maryland, thirty miles north
w cst of the former place, and only five or
Eix from the Pennsylvania line. This
route carries him away from Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and renders his move-
ment even mere a mystery than before.
Nothing definite is revealed concerning the
operations of our army in that direction,
except that it is posted to prevent the main
rebel force from crossicg to the distance
of Jackson.
GEN FIFE’S REPORT.
The revelations in Gen. Pope's official
report t f the recent engagements in Vir
ginia may well startle the country. He
affirms that Gen. McClellan practically re
used to send him supplies from Alexan
dria when his men and horses were nearly
famished ; that Gen. Fhz John Porter dis
obeyed his (Pope’s) written orders on
the battle fit Id, and withdrew from
the engagement sfrer firing a few shots;
that Gen. Griffin likewise withdrew, and
employed Ins leisure, while the fight was
raging is his ears, in baranging a crowd of
officers on the incompetency of the com
manding general; ami that all ids efforts
were thwarted hy mutinous and treacher
ous officers of the army of the Potomac.
While it was in extremely bad taste for
Gen. Popeto commence his campaign in
V irginia by proclaiming that he had come
from the West w here we had always seen
the backs of ourfues—implying, of course s
that the Eastern army were notaccustomed
to such sights—the only proper course to
pursue with officers who betray their coun
try in the awful moment of decisive battle,
on which the desffniis of the country are sus
pended, is to shoot ilu m as soon as the facts
me mace known. If we could imagine such
conduct on the part of one of Napoleon's
or Wellington's, or Frederick's generals,
the veriest child c «uld predict the culprit’s
fate. If Gen. Fhz John Purler may com
mit mutiny in the lace of the enemy, dis
obey orders, and run away, leaving his
comrades to parish, every private in the
ranks may defy his captain, or thrust his
bayonet into him.
*Wc do not assert that Gen. Pope’s state
ments are true or fhlse. They have the
air of probabili-y, to s.iy tlie least, agreeing
with, those of numerous witnesses who
havewiiUenfruintUeficld and from Wash
ington. We do assert that if they be true,
the country i? in greater d auger to-day from
its‘own army than from the legions of Jeff
Davis, and if an example be not made ot
Some of these pretoriaus the nation is ru
ined already. We shall some day have a
genera , (uf whom the enemy were never
featful,) not only dis >l»eying the President,
hut paroling him not to right against the
kingdom of West Point. We care not
What becomes of Gen. Pope, or any other
man, or any number ot men. We speak
lor the Republic, which demands that pol
troons, imbeciles, and traitors shall not
command its armies—shall not wilfully
and wi'.li impunity Jeopard its life, and the
precious interests of humanity bound up
With it.
CsT A. gentleman, who left Washington,
on Monday evening, stales that all day
Sunday, Sunday night, and Monday, there
poured out of Wasuiugton a stream ot re
giments of infantry and cavalry, studded
vsitli artillery. They were marching up
the Potomac road, towards Harpers Forty
—on the Maryland side. Tue head of this
column was heard from’at Poolesville,
where it attacked and routed
the rebels. Stonewall Jackson
may [discern % lhat he has gone Xorth in
search of plunder a luila 100 tar, and that
his safer course would h'-ve been to have
Staid in Dixie. If it prove true that the
rebels have crossed the Potomac' in force,
desperate fighting may be looked for be
fore many days. Oar troops will be in
rear of the rebel army, and the latter will
have the choice of g->ing farther Xorth
and faring worse, or attempting to fight
their way back across the Potomac. Some
quid mines slate that the rebels have not
Crossed the river in great force, but are
waiting until the Federal forces withdraw
from "Washington to make a dash upon
it and capture it. But plenty of men will
he left behind to man the lons and render
such an enterprise abortive.

A correspondent reviews the provisions
Of our Slate constitution on the ques
tion ol the soldiers voting this fall. He does
it candidly and ably. We think he fairly
establishes the point that they need not be
dlbfrar.clibcd. There is one paint, however,
be omits to make: —Wha: party or class of
politicians will undertake to prevent the
voles of the soldiers Irom being counted in
casethej are return*, d? What candidate will
undertake to throw out the votes of the
EOiOiere, becau .c they have voted against, and
defeated him ? The persons that may do it
would be branded as infamous, for the rest
of their dajs. The soldiers, or a good part of
them, will return to the State after the war is
over. How would they deal with the un
patriotic wretches who tried to defraud them
out of the elective franchise, for no belter
reason thaa that, they were periling their

Gen. Banks now bas the advance, although,
he himself is compelled to remain In Wash*
iigtcn several days on account of ill health.
Gen. Y\ illiams commands the corps during his
bbstiice, ami now has his headquarters at the
u a.*-hiLfcton House, in this place. Gen. Sum
ner’s corps supports that of Gen. Banks. A
very laige cavalry force, ’supported by artil
lery and infantry, is pushing toward Darn«a
town, where a battle may be expected before
many days.
Although nearly all the inhabitants of
Rockville are rank secessionists, yet they are
:n a gi cat state of trepidation on account of
their property. They tear the rebels will
make no cictmdion between friends and foes,
and that “ booty and beauty” will be their
only watchword. The Unioufamilies all have
the stars and stripes floating on their dwel
lings. I Lave been able to count but seven in
this village of seven or eight hundred inhab
itants.
La-'t evening supply trains were sent out
ncaily to Poolcsviiie. Tuls morning they are
ail reluming through fear of being cut ofl by
the force which Jackson is said to be crossing
at Harris’ Ford. If two or three rebel army
corps succeed in crossing the Potomac, a ter
rible battle—probably tne most sanguine of
the war— will be fought between this point
and Harper’s Ferry. Jackson will notreceive
much assistance from the rebels in Mirylmd.
Their hearts are all with biro, but their heads,
or rather their pockets, are all with us. Daath

thought, a lew weeks since, when Gen. Pope
declared that his headquarters should be upon
his horse —when he cared nothing for “lines
of rttieal,” and did not want any “base of
supplies,” that before the return of another
lull moon the rebels themselves would estab
lish 1 heir base of supplies in the very hea.t of
Maryland.
[Special Dispatch to the I\. T. Tribanc.]
Washington, Sept. 8,1802.
There is no decisive information, so far as
can be ascertain*, d, as to the loree, position,
or designs oi the enemy. Rumor reports
them at Gettysburg, Fcilm, bat the story
lacks confirmation.
A destrier who was impressed at Savannah,
and came North in Gen. Gager’s division, and
who escaped from Leisburir, reports that the
divisions of Hill, Huger and Lungstreec h;ive
crossed the Potomac, and not lets than 50 0e?0
men are upon tuis side, Jackson leading toe
advance, and Lee being wir.b the last division.
He. computes the whole army of the reoels at
KJOjOCO sliong, and says that almost all of it,
which has not invaded Maryland, is massed In
the neighborhood of Leesburg, very few
troops, it any, have gone in the direction of
Harper’s Ferry.
An officer who escaped from Poolesvdk, or
wasparokd, having b«en taken prisoner at
one of the battles week before ia-.t, suys he
counted twenty seven batteries of four'guas
each, on this tide ol the river.
Eockvii.lc, m, Sept. 7,1853.
As yet there has been no fighting in Mary
land w'_r<h mentioning. Our own- pickets
and the enemy’s staud facias: each other,
about Jour miles from this village, in the
direction of Darnstown.
Last evening I heard that Gen. Boomer
would advance to-day and attack the enemy,
whether he manifested a dibpo-itioa to do
liKewise or not. To-day, however, up to the
present tour (3 o’clock, p. m,, there has been
no fighting, and not the least indications of
any.
Reports -with regard to the enemy’s strength
and pu&ition on this side of the river are
■very conflicting. Uue is that he has icrurned
to Virginia, and lelt nothing bat a regiment
of cavalry to wa’ch our movements; another,
that Gen. Hill, ■with 30,U00 men, is moving up
the Seneca road in the direction of Washing
ton.
If this last rnmor is true, Gen. Hill will soon
come in conflict with Gen. Conch, whose di
vision ia eircLclu-d overmat opening, and who
occupies the left of the army, advancing to
ward the «neim. The repose of Gen. gunner,
who occupies Hie right, and of Gea. Banks,
Las the center, may be a mereruseon
their part to lead the enemy where our artil
lery cun be brought to bear with effect upon
Mm. It Gen. Hdi cm only be coixed in o
the jaws of a triangle, formed by more than
100 pieces of artillery, we can only afford to
lie quiet a day or two.
But I doubt very much whether al 1 the
Yankee generals can persuade him to fall
into a trap he has so frequently and so suc
cessfully laid lor us. Our belter *vay, it sterns
to me, and I cannot see why a correspondent
shauid not have an opinion as well as any
one else, is to assume the offensive at once,
dash upon him with cavalry, Infantry* and
artillery, and before the mam body of the
army can cross the river, surround, cut off, or
drive back to the sacred soil of rebel Vir
ginia.
It wou’d require but little display of energy
to accoiuplith this. Tue road from George
town to i.ockvillc is one of the finest in the
country. Yesterday I saw two regiments and
a tiain of wagons abreast, all unrolling la
each other's dust upon a double-quick. An
immense column could be hurled upon the
enemy aloi g this road if the comraauder-in
chiel would hat give the order. The lorce
now here is dually inadequate to contend with
the enemy, if he is allowed any more time to
cross the river. It may be, however, that rc
enforci menTs are being sent by the Baltimore
and Oh-o Railroad to strengthen our right; if
so, our chances will be fully equal to those
of the enemy in the next engagement.
DEPARTURE OP GEN. McCEELLAN FOR
THE FIELD.
[Ccrrespondsnce of the N. Y. Tribune.!
Washington, Sept. 8,1862.
Atan early hour last evening Gen. McClel
lan and stall, with the fid United States c.tv
aliy as body guard, rode through Georgetown
toward the front to take command of the
army in the field. For two days old General
Sumner has been holding the enemy in cneck,
Ms troops being drawn up’ in line
ot battle at Rockville. On Saturday and
Sunday be was joined by other corps. Tne
troops were for three hours on Siturday
evening marching past Gen. McCMUn’s
boose in cb. se order, cheering him as they
passed. Among the corps which marched
■were that of Gen. Hooker, formerly Gen. Mc-
Dowell’s, and of Gen. Reno, formerly Gen.
Burnside’s, both augmented by raw regi
ments brigaded with the old ones, and bom
under Gch. Burnside, and destined to form
the ngbl wing.
It this army finds the enemy it will beat
him. Of that there need scarcely be a doubt.
The soldiers are under the immediate com
mand, for the most part, of fighting generals,
and will fight themselves. Tney have in a
great measure recovered, I am assured, from
the demoralization of the just, they realize
that it is they, now, not the rebels, who are
contending in defense of home and fireside,
and they will be assisted by the over conti
dtEce and recklessness of the enemy
They will win a victory, if they can
find a force large enough to beat, and will roll
b..ck the tide of invasion.
AFFAIRS AT 3URTINSBURG AND BALTI
MORE.
[Correspondence of the N T. Times.]
Baltisioue. Sept. 8,1862.
CoL Voss’ command ol Illinois cavalry
fought the enemy on Friday at Bunker’s Hill,
ten miles from Mnninsburg to Sb-ppingfown,
whippng them and taking a few prisoners.
Bunkir’s Hill is but a snort distance from
Southfield, where seventeen of our cavalry
were seized while on picket duty week before
last. Some slight ski«mishing has also taken
place in the vicinity of Harper’s Ferry. A
nitmbtr of the 4-.h Maryland cavalry, sta
tioned there, who arrived here yesterday—
bootless, listless, and plucked generally—re
ports that several of the company were nearly
annihilated, one day last week, in a tight
among the Loudon Height?, with a large force
of guiriUns, be among a very few’others,
esenj it g. lam inclined to discredit his -tory.
Such is the aspect of affairs on the Upper
Potou ac. What the designs of the enemy are
:n crossing, is as much a mystery to onr mili
tary authorities at Wbshinglon as to th.rse
here, who express themselves completely at a
less to understand the movement. Instead
of simply crossing to secure supplies and a
diversion ol our forces, as some suppose, they
have, in my opinion, decided upon one of the
tour following plans—the cutting off or cap

GEN. POPE’S OFFICIAL REPORT
OF THE LATE BATTLES.
He Charges Gens. Porter and Griffin
[with Mutinous Conduct on
the Rattle Field.
He Says Gen. McClellan Refused to
Send him Supplies.
He Places the Responsibility of the
Disaster on Treacherous Officers
of the Potomac Army.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune j
Cincinnati, Sept. 30,1852.
Ger. Pope is here, and has published a
brkf official report of his seventeen days oper
ations down to his arrival at Washington. Ha
makes direct charges against McClellan, Por
ter, and Griffin, and says if they had co-opera
ted, he would have crushed the enemy. Too
commanding generals in the army of the Po
tomac, with the exception of Sumner, repre
sented that their men were demoralized since
leaving the Peninsula, and had no spirit to
fight. The conduct of the men, however, was
a l l that could he desired. He compliments
McDowell, Banks, Heintzelmau, Hooker,
Kearney, and Reno, but never mentions Sigel.
Pope’s report the war department refused to
receive, and it is now published for the first
time, and I suppose in self-defense.
Cincinnati Sept. 10.—The afternoon Times
publishes Gen. Pope’s official report of the
movi ments of the army of Virginia, from the
time he left Washington until he returned.
He attributes the whole disaster to the failure
oi the army cf the Potomac to co-operate.
When he was on the Rappahannock, he pre
sumed the army cf the Potomac would pro
tect the section between him. and Washington,
Ps failure to do so caused him to be flanked.
Turning upon the enemy from the Rappahan
nock, he could have had him completely de
feated bad not Fitz John Porter drawn off his
corps, contrary to orders, and refused to take
part in the contest while the enemy was
marching reinforcements past him. He ac
cuses Gtn. Gr.filn with withholding his com
mand from the contest, and while the battle
was raging, and with a view of occupying his
time in denouncing the general commanding
to a prciuiscous crowd. He accuses McClel
lan of refusing to snpply him with forage
when Lis horses had been without food for
two days, and asserts that the commanding
generals of the army ot the Potomac constant
ly represented to him their men too much de
moralized to be trusted on the field, and too
dispirited to fight.
Few York, Sept. 10. —The Times publishes
General Pi pe’s report of the recent battles in
Yirtdiiia. He severely censures the conduct
of Fitz John Porter, but speaks in the highest
terms of the zeal and energy of Generals Mc-
Dowell, Banks, Reno, Heintzelnuu, Hooker
and Kearney, He attrioutes the disaster of
Saturday jointly to the bad conduct of Portei
and the failure of McClellan to send him sup
plies. On these points he says: “I do nothesi
tate to say that if the corps of Porter hadattaak
ed the enemy in flank on the afternoon of Fri
day, as he had my written order to do, we should
ultuly have crushed Jackson before tue forces
under Lee could have reached him. Why he
did not do so I cannot understand. Our men
much worn down by hard service ; nd con
tinuous righting for many previous days, and
very short of provisions, rested on their guns.
Our Lories had no forage for two days. I
hud telegraphed and written urgently lor ra
tions and forage to be sent, but on Saturday
morning, before the evacuation was resumed,
I received a letterfromGen. Franklin, written
the day before at Alexandria, stating to me
that he had been directed by Gen. McClellan
to inform me that rations and forage for my
command would be loaded into the cars and
available wagons as sooji as I would send a
enralry escort to Alexandria to briny them up.
All hope of being able to maintain my posi
tion, whether victorious or not, vanished
with this letter. My cavalry was utterly
broken down by long service iti
the face of the enemy, and bad as they were
they could not be spared from the front even
if there had been time to go back thirty
milts to Alexandria and await the loading of
trains. At the time this letter was written
Alexandria was swarming with trooos, and
my whole army interposed between that
place and the enemy. I at once understood
that we must, if possible, finish what we had
to do that day, as night must see us behind
Bull Kun if we wished to save our men and
animals.”
Harrisburg, Sept. 10.—Gov. Curtin ha 3
itsued the following order: u In view of the
danger of invasion now threatening our Slate
by the enemies of the government it is deem
ed necessary to call upon all the able-bodied
men of Pennsylvania to organize immediately
for the defense of the State, and be ready for
marching orders upon one hours’s notice, and
pioceedto such places of rendezvous as the
governor may direct.”
Intelligence of a reliable character is to the
cflcol that the rebels, under Jackson, catered
Hagerstown, Md., in force this afternoon.
The operator left while the rebels were enter
ing the town.
Arrangements for the defense of this city
are going forward, and the order of the gov
ernment issued to-day, is considered a great,
proper and precautions measure. It may be
the forerunner of our actual call, probably
soon to be made.
There is nothing later from Hmover or
York.
Washington, Sept 9.—There is no doubt
that me rebels, in large lorce, are between
DraintfaVille and Leesburg to-day, apparently
designing to cross into Maryland from these
points,but by this time we have troops enough
tbcir to prevent them from consummating
their object. Beyond these facts, but little if
anything can be learned. There is nothing re
liable from further up the Potomac.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—The Washington
Aaiional JhtiUvjciiccr says the rebels are fall
ing back from Gen. McClellan’s front, which
has advanced to within six miles of Poolcs
vilie.
Reports from York ot yesterday say the
rebels have not entered York county, but
were reported at Emmetsburg, on a line not
more than eight milca from Gettysburg. They
had stationed their pickets six miles from
Union Bjldge. There are no signs of an ap
proach of the rebels towards the West.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—Major General
Heintzelman has been appointed to the com
mand of the forces for the defense of Wash
ington, south, of the Potomac.
The friends of Brig. Gen. Mansfield say that
be is to be appointed a major general of vol
unteers.
A special dispatch to the Bulletin, fromHir
ritbnrg, represents that all is quiet there. No
rebel movements had taken place towards
Hagerstown.
A force of onr cavalry, under Gen. McClel
lan, captured Barncsboro, in the rearot New
Market yesterday. The operator at H&aover
says that refugees, from Frederick, report
that the rebels are entrenching themselves on
the Monocacy, and that they have blown up
the iron bridge over the river.
Washington, Stpt 10.—The party who left
here, on Saturday, under a flag ol truce for
’he body of Gen. Bohlen, returned with it to
Washington last night They were the re
cipients of the kindest attention from the
rebels.

New York, Sept. 10.—The Washington

cavalry charged on a battery wnieh was post
ed on the summit of a hilL Tne rebels got
their guns out of the way, but lost six pris
oners.
The Indiana regiment lost three men and
twenty hordes.
Toe rebels began crossing the Potomac on
Thursday, first at the Monacacy, from which
point they swept down the Maryland shore
below the fords and ferries opposite Leesburg,
driving before them small squads of cavalry,
which were walchii-g the river. The enemy
had advanced on Friday to PoolesviUe and
moved out in some force on this side. There
were part of three comoani«s of the Ist
Massachusetts cavalry in their front. Ob
serving the rebel approach, they formed
In line by platoons, and by their steadi
ness of front and skillful di-position delayed
the rebel advauce for hours, and dually Lee
e‘*it nine miles to the rear for arcil
lt-ry to disperse the force he supposed
to be In front of him. Before the artillery
our men were of course compelled to retire,
ai d as soon as their movements in column
detected the weakness of their forces the
rebel cavalry gathered heart and came on at a
charge. It was two to one, and there was
nothing for it to do but to get off as rapidly
as possible. The road had been clear In the
morning, and was counted on for an nnob
stiuclta retreat, but while the maneuvering in
loice hod consumed the day, some Maryland
traitor had piled stones at the worst place in
the roao in such quantity that the horses at

zuunaing officer and Forty Olliers.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Tribune 3
Baltimore, Sept. 8,1362.
I have the following particulars of one of
the most gallant engagemeais of the war, bo
far as onr troops were concerned, from an
officer of Cape. Flusser’s fleet, who has
bi ought dispatches to Washington from his
commanding officer;
Fourteen hundred rebels marched toward
Plymouth, N. C., oa Tuesday last, intending
to enter the town and lay it in ashes. A
native Carolinian, knowing the intention ol
the rebels, came quickly to town and report
ed the mat'er to Capt, W. H. Hammeil of
Hawkins’Zouaves. No time was to be lost.
To defend the town there was one company
(F) ot Hawkins’ Zouaves, one company of
regularly enlisted loyal North Carolinians,
with such other loyal fighting civilians as the
town could furnish. All hands were quickly
at their post. Halt of the Zouaves
were sick with the fever which prevails there
v.ttis season ot the year, and all of the com
missioned officers were sick, except Lieut.
Green, of the Zouaves, who was disabled by a
wound received in a former engagement up
the Roanoke River. The command of about
3 0 men devolved upon orderly eerg’t Green,
of company F, of the Zouaves. At the ap
ppracb otsovastatorceeome generals would
Bay, “surrender;” but this was not The ser
geant’s motto. He took his brave men, went
out on Tuesday, the 2d insr., and met the
many three miles from the town.
The etemy consisted of infantry and cavalry;
the former under Col. Garrett (who in fact
was in command of the whole force,) and the
’fitter in command of Captain Fagan. When
S« rgeant Green came upon toe enemy he
found him bivouacked iu the woods, intend
ing not toaiiaek. before the nest day. A rebel
intended giving the alarm of the approach of
our lorcts by firing his piece, but it missed
fire.
Onr boys took this as a signal of alarm, and
tLt-y dashed upon them with great earnestness,
fighting the whole force for an hour, Sergeant
Green conducting himself in the most gallant
manner. In the short space of an hour he
wbipj ed a force of 1,400, captured Col. Gar
rett, their commander, a lieutenant, and forty
prisoners, together with many of the cavalry
noises. Tbe rebels lost tnirty killed, with
the ordinary proportion of wounded. When
the enemy broke and fl-d, the loval North
Carolinians were fast and fierce in the purenit
of their rebel neighbors. The chase was given
up only when the enemy was completely pat
to flight
Tne civilians fought splendidly. Mr. Phelps,
a carpenter, whose hospitality I hare enjoyed,
was the first to fire his lavorite rifle, taking
down the first rebel that fell. In this conflict
we lost three men killed—one a sergeant of
company F, of tue Zouaves, whose name is
Miner; the other a member of the North Ca
rolina company; and the third, one of Capt.
FlufcStx’s brave tars, some of whom were en
gaged- Let officers of higher rank look at
ihe conduct of Sergeant Green, and learn wis
dom—the kind of wisdom we now need; aud
let soldiers learn from tae result of the alfilr
wbat even small numbers will accomplish
when they have the right sort ol fire iu them.
The bravery ol our Jit'le army iu Plymouth
deserves, and will undoubtedly receive, the
highest honor in the nation.
Suggestions from Parson Brownlow,
The following letter from Parson Brown
low to the governors of the loyal States ap
pears in the Philadelphia papers of Monday
morning:
To the Governors of the loyal States;
Gentlemen : I do not wish to figure as ‘a
bmycody in other men’s matters,’ but feei
ng and bnowiDg that the crisis of our na
tional afidirs is now upon us, and beli-svio"-
that tbe nisi six»y days will determine the
qutßiion whether we are to maintain the
supremacy of tbe government, or whether
the rebellion is to prevail, (I have a personal
acquaintance with many of you—Governors
Curtin, Morton, Tod, Morgan, Buckingham,
Andrew and others—and 1 bear testimony
that you have done much, and done it well,
wisely and in due time, to promote the best
inter sts of our country in this the day of her
trial; much remains to be done, aud yon,
gentlemen, representing more than twenty
States, have it in your power to
do more than . any other class
of • rmn,) let me impress upon
jour minds the alarming fact that, the reb
els have now more men iu the field, and in
camj a of instruction, than, we have; having
brought all tucir white men into requisition,
and laving made slavery an clement of
strength by retaining them upon their planta
tions ro raise supplies for their armies. Let
me for. her imprees upon your minds the start
ling fact that tbe rebel aavacces are simulta
neous all over the country, and exhibit sys
tem, concert of action, with a z-a 1 and
talent oispluyed in the execution of their
plans worthy of a better cause than that iu
which they are engaged.. New Orleans, Mem
phis, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati, Wash
ington, Baltimore, Harrisburg and Pniladel
pbij, are all threatened by an enemy that
shows prodigious activity, talents and
strength. Indeed, they have us now where
they had us thirii.cn months ago , with this ad
dition, that they have invaded Maryland and
Ohio. If they march uprn u*, and their dar
ing plans are not propsny met aud most sig
nally defeated, it will be our fault.
Now, 1 propose that you, as governors of
tbe loyal Stales, meet at some convenient
point, without delay, and as representatives
of your people, address yourselves, iu unmis
takable terms, to the civil and military
authorities of the United States. I will not
sav wbar you will tell them, but I will, with
all due del'enci to your superior abilities,
suggest a few points that you might make,
ana forcibly impress upon the minds ot your
authorises:
First. Urge the government to draft, with
out delay, a half million, ot men in addition to
the force already in the field and in tne camps
ot instruction. And upon the score of econ
omy, apprise the government ot the fact that
it Kill require less money to furnish, equip
and sustain a million of mm Kr oue year
than it will halt a million for "two years.
Second. Enter your protest against every other
brigadier and major general iti our army beluga
candidate for the presidency during tne ezst
tnce of this war, and , as a consequence,
shapingh>s course inihat direction.
ihird Enter your most solemn protest against
one half of the members of the cabinet looking to
the presidency, and shaping their conduct of the
war accordingly .
Fourth. Gait upon the president, whose
bontsly and patriotism 1 do not question, to
re-organize his cabinet and the army , and to
place men at the heads of both who will not
study bow to kill off leading rebels without
hurling them 1
Filth. Advise the civil and military authori
ties of the country, and tae puli leuns, to
c see this war upon the everlasting “nigger,”
n Jill we conquer their white masters, and ar-
rtst the onward march of their desperate and
arrogant owners. Meanwhile, let tae negroes
be seizid npos, and iu every possible
way to crush out this infernal rebellion.
Sixth. Acvi=e your tseuaiors and represen
tatives in Congress, and the members ot your
State Legislatures, as well as the people, to
ceate to make efforts to revive and reorgan
ize old political parties, and to organize oar
new party, io be known as the Unconditional
Union Party of America.
Seventh. Let the government and the army
know, what they seem never to have learned
that is to say that the rebels are a unit, fight
ing with a desperation* and skill never sur
passed by any people on earth; whilst we,
who have a noble army of brave men, with
money, credit, all else necessary, and truth
on our side, are divided and distracted —
whilst we are tolerating traitors and tories in
our midst.
Eighth. Inform our government and peo
ple that our ship of state is now id a he ivy
sea; and that at no period since the rebellion
broke ont, ;has so deep a depression frlen
upon the hearts of loyal cit zens as at pres -nt,
I would, gentlemen, start'a new paper at
once, at some eligible point, and urge all
these considerations, and more, upon the
minds of the loyal-hearted men of tae conn
try, bnt for two good aad sufficient revsons.
First, I should be arrested by the U uited 3 -.ates
authorities for'stating facts, opposing follies
and declaring the honest convictions of my
mind. And nest, sack is the rapid advance of
the rebel forces tuat I should expect them, to
crush out my paper, as they did in Tennessee
on the 25th of October last. -I may be impris
oned ft r writing this at tide. lam not con
cerned about that. 1 suffered imprisonment
and the confiscation oi all 1 had, on the other
tide of the line, fo: adhering to the truth, and
1 am ready to go to prson here for the same
Odense. It this rebellion is not put down I
have nothing to live for, and would as soon die
in prison as elsewhere.
I improved the last Sahbath by preaching in
the open air, to the Philadelphia Corn Ex
change regiment—a noble set of men, equip
ped by a noble band ot patriots. I Improve
this Sabbath, September 7»h. by writing this
address to the goyemers of the loyal States.

A. '.Spy Hanged in Gen. Longstreet’a
Camp.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dispalc\
writing from the rebel army on the 23d of
August, narrates the following:
Among the incidents of the day which have
kept the men in good humor, and eager fjr a
fight, was a charge by a regiment of cavalry
upon two companies of the 12th Mississippi
regiment. Thinking they had the confed
erates surrounded, the Yankee colonel de
manded a tnrrenden u Surrender be d—d,”
-was the response. “Mississippivn« don’t
knowhow.” In a moment more the enemy
were dashirg forward at full speed. Oar men
ailowed them to come np within a short range
and then opened. ' Thirty or forty saddles
were emptied In less time than you can tell
it, and without waiting for a repetition of the
dose, the regiment took to us heels, and,
amid tbe cheers and jeers of the boys, got out
of tight in the moat industrious manner pos
sible.
To-day has been, farther signalized by the
hstgii gof a spy—a man named Caarles M v
ton,o] Ptrrjbvule, Pennsylv mia. It appears
that as one of the couriers of General X >ng
stiett was catrjlEgan order, ho was met oy
this maD, who iuquiied, “ whose division do
you belong to?** u LoagstreeS-'s,” Tne
<ourierlhen asked, “whve dlrUtoc doyou
belong to?” “Jackson's,” was tbe reply.
A gray confederate uniform favored t-his Idea,
ai d a conversation ensued. As the two trav
eled together the courier observed that there
wieadispotirion on the part ofhis companion
to drop behind, and finally he was astonished
by a pistol presented to his breast, and a de
maun fcr the delivery of the papers he car
ried in his belt. Hiving no other resource,
the latter surrendered the documents, wnen
tbe spy deliberately shot him in the back and
ran. cioon afterwards the courier was found
by some ol his Trends, and narrated the pir
tivnlhrs of the affair, describing the man so
minutely that, when subsiqnently arrested,
heWtS known beyond a peradventure. He
had, fur instance, two defective front teetn,
was a pale faced, determined looking and
quick spoken pereoo.
A starch was at once instituted, but fortu
nately he tell into our hands by his own fool
ishntes. It is stated (bu r . Ido not vouch for
ttus)that this morning the spy rode up to
Gen. Jones, who was at the head of his col
umn, and said: “General, I am the chief
courier of Gen. Jackson, he desired me to re
quest you to order your column to be reversed
at once.” The order was of course given,
and the pretended courier rode away. His
mxt exploit was to ride, up to the colonel of
one of our regiments and give him the same
command he had given to Jones. Tne colonel
was a shrewd officer, however, and remarked,
“ I am not in the habit cl receiving my orders
from Gen. Jackson.” “Well, sir, those were
my orders from him to you.” “What cav
alry are you from ?” The courier hesitated a
moment, and said, “from the Hampton Le
gion.” “In whose division and brigade is
that?” asked the colonel. This confused
him still more, and he could only reply, “ I
don’t know; I have forgotten.” Being then
taken into custody and examined, several pa
ters were found upon his person written in
short hand and an abbreviated long hand, em
bracing the information he had obtained A
pair of lieutenant’s shoulder straps were also
concealed in his pocket. Tuese discoveries
beifcg made, tbe man confessed that he was a
Yankee, and belonged to the Union armv, but
in the capaciiy of an Independent scout. He
admitted further that he h id observed and re
ported the movements of our armv, hut de
nied having killed the courier. He claimed
tiiat it was done by a party of Texans with
whom he was traveling.
The various facts being conclusive, the
court martial by which he was tried had Ifttle
hesitaion in finding him “guilty,” aud sen
tencing him to be hung. The execution took
place ibis afternoon, under the direction of
Gen. Evans, in the presence of his brigade
and a large number of soldiers. The pris
oner was mounted on a horse, his bands
lied behind him, and he was driven
bem-a'h a tree. The rope, which was
a little larger thin an ordtmrv bsd
ctrd, then being adjusted, he was ordered to
stand upon the saddle. As lie did so a soldier
gaveashfcrp cut to tbe animal, and iu a second
more the spy was jerking convulsively from
the limb above him. He met his fifte with
gnat itoicism, aud appeared perfectly sa’i-tied
with what he had accomplished, but to the
last denied all participation in the act of
shooting LfUfStreei’a courier. He said he
had an uncle and aunt living in Clarke county,
Va.,and that the latter had made him the Cou
fedate uniform which he wore.
