And but yesterday the public was maddenel by the murder of the brave Gcn. li)bort 3.leCook, shot by guerillas whilst riding, sick. in rta ambulance. We ask to day the united indignation of his thousands of friends at the foul murder of one of our own bravest commanders—one of Lancaster county's noblest sons. We announced last week the death of our friend Captain Aldus J. Neff, Ist Itezerve:. We charge now that he was o . th'cially murdered. l ie went into the week of battles weakened by sickness, fought intrepidly in every fight, endured the hardships and anxieties of the retreat, and came out sound front blade or ball of tho enemy but completely prostrated and exhausted. He struggled against the men acing illness until even he knew himself unfit for duty (and he would be the last man in the regiment to realize that fact), when he reluctantly applied for sick leave. The Brigade Surgeon refuse I him a certifi cate of disability, and knowing his fate the brave man lay down in his tent to die, lie keenly felt that ho was hardly dealt with, and prophesied the and were he kept under the broiling southern sun. All around hint saw that he was powerless to rally under the unfavorable influences surrounding him, and at length, when death had set his seal upon him,otlicial sanction was obtained for his departure from camp. The surgeon of the Vanderbilt regarded him in a dying condi tion when he murk ed on the vessel, and death speedily justified this opinion. In the cases cited above bravo men fell by the c3Wardly hands of assassins, and execration followed the deeds. Here an equally brace soldier has ranee victim to either criminal neglect or gross ineurspeteney, and n gener ous cry of indignation should go up against the barbarity or imbecility which doomed a gallant man to so sad an end. A co:mai:tee has been sent from L. thong ter to Norfolk to endeavor to obtain the re- Mains of Cupt. Neff for interment at home. ft will be a comfort to his sorrowing friends to be permitted to Joy his body among time ' dead of his family. A. r.kI.SE AND IN.matous Immtessto.N.— An article in Thursday's Evening Express, ' of Lancaster. conveys an idea which is cal ' related to injure the reputation of cur town it not corrected, and which, we fear, will, at all events, give the patriots who at present not only glory in. hut foment ill feeling be tween whites and blacks, fresh material for their traitorons pens and tongues. The Ex press, gives, as near as we can gather, for we were absent from town on Monday and only have beresay to guide us, a correct version of the facts. A company of rowdies got into a fight on the Hill with some negroes. By I whom the row woo provoked we cannot learn, but, at all events, it nmounted to oath-1 ing but a fight. After leaving the Hill the 1 whites attacked and shamefully beat a con trnhand woman serving in the family of the tter. Mr. Mallus, injuring her severely.— This affair led to threats on the part of the whims, and, it is said to counter threats on the pelts of the negroes, and was dignified with the name of riot. Rumor magnified it, as usual, and by Wednesday, when the tale reached Lancaster It had nssumcd sufficient ly- alarming proportions to bring a special reporter from the r,.rpress oflee to look into matter. The report given in the Erpre:s, as we hero said is mainly correct as to facts, yet it conveys, without intention we imagine, an altogether false impression. The thought or a stranger on reading the article would he that there is ill hlo td bete-eea tsv . i lasses of inhabltank of Colombia, ready at any moment to oecaolon t•erioit t di4torlymec of the peace. Thiv is altogether a siii•teke. We nre sorry we cannot say that the siegroc , clear town arc a ciuict and inoffensive class —for they are, no a whole (but with many honorable individual exceptions) turbulent among themselves, offensive, and a curse to the c.ommunity. But they are culortifsire and ea4ily governed. If the rowdy whites will not et .le=t them, they wiil be perfectly peaceful, ex ;el,st its their domestic and social relations with cash other. We must admit that :hero is little peace between the ;nimbi tants of the Hill, but one policeman is cient to quell any disturbance. It is dis graceful that they are not governed and O tter:tat to a better moral, physical and /meinl condition: but debased its many of them are. they all recognize the madness of any combi nation far ript,itnd the neeessitv, of submis sion to authority. When insulted. goaded, at melted, as they occasionally ar , t by rowd,rs who , thuspttetbetaselves on a level with the itegroes, they pkturt at times on their Joy , ,mentOrs, and a breach of the pett4b: such as 'that of Monday is the cogequeziee. The Express article also conveys the idea that's heavy patrolforce is required to pre vent outbreak. The fact ;iti that at the re qiiest of Constable 141cGinnis'he was author ized by the 'Chief Burgess to put on a few eitra policemen, and' these sufficed to .keep theirowdies from the Hill. As to the force required to keep auwa .the negroes—a note, from the Chief Burgess requesting one of our most respectable colored' citizens to use his influence in calming ,the excitement among the people of the MI was all that was needed to allay anythiitg like disorder ly manifestations, if any 4 Sueh existed, and even to keep the blacks from any locality where they might be subjected to insult or: injury. We regret this occurrence, end the noise that it has occasioned. iye also regret that the originators of the disturbance, whether black or white, have not been arrested and held to answer for their misconduct. We believe the order-loving citizens of Colum• bia equal at any time to compel obedience to the laws; yet if these dis;l,raceful en counters are allowed to pass with only an effort to preserve the peace, without punish ment to the offenders, they may increase in magnitude and one of these fine days we may find the word riot not too exaggerated a term for what now passes under the de nomination of row. Let all interference with the blacks :because they are blacks,,) cease. Lot legal interference with the orders of the blacks (and whites) commence.d Let no disturbance of the peace escape in vestigation and punishment; and, above all, let justice be done to all alike. Then our town will not be disgraced even by rumors of riot. nECII CI TS roe, Cot.. WELsit.—Capt. Haines has been very successful in obtaining re cruits fur the - Forty-fifth Regiment.

Serf—There was touch rojoicing in the Reserve last evening, upon the arrival lamongst us of our comrades who were ta ken prisoners in the recent battles before Richmond. They looked haggard and care worn. the result of the harsh treatment re ceived. Thcir experience of pri.on life is that of all who had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Rebels. They were marched out of Richmond on the 5:11, fifteen ;miles to n point on the James River several I miles above this, in a broiling sun. Several ' were sun•struek, one or two of whom were killed by the Rebel escort. theeause the poor fellows fell exhausted by the way, nna were unable to march, the brutal guard knocked their brains out with the buts of their mus kets. The time cannot be far distant when a retributive justice will overtake the mis• croon ts. For three nights past the "Reserve" hare been under marching orders. I think with out doubt they will more to-day or to-mor raw, we all suppose to Malvern llill, where was fought a battle on the stlt, the result of which you must have before this in eats Phila• Papers. Corps. Chas. M.:lianas end Peter Wells anti private Thos. Coles, all of Co. K, were amongst the returned. It will be recol lected that the first two with Charles Faulk ner went upon the battle field of June 30th to seek repose. In the morning early whilst the party were cooking coffee, they observed I troops (they wero some of our men prison ers in hands of Rebels) near, but supposed • from the color of their clothes that they were friends. Faulkner confronted one of ;the grey backs and ordered him to sur render, when he refused, whereupon F. termed: out from the shoulder, and landed his I,llnr,i of Jives between the eyes of the "reb.," laying him on his back. Secesh im mediately, however, arose and soifiled out that he was a preacher and was a chaplain in the Rebel army, and did not fight. F. re plied, "what in the h-1 are you doing here then, if you do not intend to fight." The party were.soon surrounded and forced to surrender. They were marched that after noon and night to Richmond. When t!,e3 arrived at the bridge at White Pak Bottom Swamp, they halted, and v:hilst there, "Stonewall" Jackson passed by with eigh teen cannon and sixty thousand :rook:. • Several of our boys were marched to Rich mond over the road where we had the first battle at Mechanicsville. They passed that point OD Sunday. Tlit.y saw hundreds of dead rebels, many were fast in the swamp and mud just as they were killed. Where tilt creek crossed the road. large piles of I.:Tilet Coated down and lodgo.l at a cross. lug made of loose rails which had been piled ,on one side.

IL Caldwell, Lycoming " It will be recollected that we loaded sev e:i i ca,.c at Savage Station an Sunday the !29th of June, with ammunition and started the train towards the bridge (which was partly torn up) over the Ohiekahominy, set ting the inside of the cars on fire first. I learn from the returned prisoners that when the train was observed by the Reba coming towards them at the rate of a mlie a minute, they placed themselves upon the bridge (which is a. mile long. the ties of which are covered by plank laid lengthwise) in great numbers with the hope of stopping the train and bazging several hundred of our men. who, they supposed, were aboard. But they were sorely disappointed—on came the train, and when amongst them the ammuni tion inside exploded and killed one hundred men. They supposed it a "Yankee trick." The whole I serve—and especially the tat Brigade—(with perhaps a single excep tion which we quite well understatid) are waiting anxiously for the return of General Reynolds. Ilia loss has been much felt by us all. The fact cannot he disguised that the efficiency of the Reserve has been much impaired, since the recent battles. by the course of n few conceited men who have suddenly been clothed with Division and Brigade commands. One whom the "Phila delphia Inquirer" toadies was in command but a few days before a sign was placed in front of his quarters upon which was writ ten "Seymour's Division," We are no longer the Pa. Reserves. To show the feeling of our boys, it is only necessary to repeat what ;s passed from one end of the line to n nother. When a certain officer makes his appearance in camp. "McCall" "Reynolds" "played out" arc common expressions. In order to get a commander for the Ist Brigade, the Gtb Pa. Reserves, which Sas , only been in the battles of Draincsville, where they ran it is said, has been foisted into it (and the Bth taken out.) and placed on the right, the position the sth held for nearly a year. The Colonel of the Sixth, I quite a young man, a brother-in-law of Sey mour's, was then placed in command of the !Brigade.- Although there has been an or der to have a battalion drill every day, the Colonel of the sth is the only officer in the IBrigade who has thus far shown himself capable of maneurreing his command in the various movements which all well drilled soldiers are supposed to be versed in. If General Reynolds should come (and we ex pect him.) he will be greeted (as no other General has yet been so fa►r as I have seen) • by a cheer which will fairly make old Vir ginia tremble, as it wore. It will be spen t and feoto 'lie heart. Kershner is at Camden street Hospital, B and is doing well. The Ist Brigade will be paid to-day. •115 later intellzenee ;torn the rico, we nee gratified to learn ihat Lieu. R..

Acgrr.t CrzEsr, VA., Aug. 12,'02. DEAR Srv:—We arrived here on tho steamer Elm City from Newport News on the Gth inst. In regard to our movements, everything was profoundly secret, no one except the Major General commending seeming to know our destination. Rumors were rife in camp that we were going to North Carolina, to • Petersburg, Va., to McClellan's army, to this place,•and to that place; one wiseacre bad it that we Were even going to California. However, we em barked quietly and safely, steamed past the Rip Raps, Fortress Monroe, ap the Chesa peake Bay, into the mouth of the :Potomac and to ,the landing, at mouth of Acquia Creek. A little steamer, containing Gen. Burnside and staff ran along side of us; the General called for Col. Welsh and direettl him to debark immediately with his regi ment and assume command of the post, with headquarters at Acquits Creek. We landed with men and baggage the same eve ning. Neat morning eight of our compa nies were sent out to encamp at Broken Station, on the Fredericksburg Railroad.— Companies t and K are here to guard the landing and furnish guards on the trains between this and Fredericksburg. Capt. Kelsey is Provost Marshal; hw, in other words. is the Judge of this Bailiwick. The 1 Colonel is Governor and we are all young Governors. This is decidedly the most desirable loca tion we have yet had: our mails and express matter come regularly. We occasionally see live women, crinoline, Le., making our poor fellows feel as though they had just come into the world. We get fresh bread daily, fresh beef every alternate day, and as hucksters and sutlers are here in abun dance, with the use of a trifle of cash we are enabled to live luxuriously. Still, any of those little Christmas or other holiday presents that could not reach us in season, would be acceptable now, and would make us again think of the girls we left behind us. We are pleased to hear of the promotion of our fellow townsman to the Coloneley of the sth Reserve. Earning his promotion on the battle field entitles hint to the love and respect of his countrymen, citizens or sol diers; all honor to him and his gallant regi ment. Military movements are not to be written about now, yet if you visit us, we will ex plain movements that are destined soon to startle the civilized world, and specially de light all true lovers of our good old flag. A boat leaves Washington every morning, nod as no pass is needed to come to Acquia Creek, all our friends need do to visit us from Washington is simply to fork over two dollars and come on. We receive Spys regularly—the last number was received on Monday following its issue. Two or throe new regiments from the north are expected hero to fill up Cul. Welsh's brigade; we would like the Lancaster County to be one of them. Letters should be addressed, Col. Welsh's 45th Regiment, Acquia Creek, Ye., via Washington, D. C. "45." GTEI U. S. CAT.I.I.IIY, IlanalsoN's LANDING, Va.,Aug. 4, '62. FRIEND St'r:—Again send you a few items of news, which I hope will be inter esting to your readers. War news have been a little below par with us for some time. On the night of the 31st of July, at about twelve o'clock, we wore aroused from our peaceful slumbers by the booming of artillery. We turned out of our tents in "double quick," and found the shot and shell coming into our camp as thick as hail. The Rebels had opened on us from the oth er side of the river, from five different points. Every person was taken by sur prise. Soldiers and civilians were seen flying in every direction, filling up every safe place that could be found. Some were in groups behind bales of hay, while others were behind trees; the firing was kept up for an hour, when they were finally com pelled to retire, no doubt, by the sudden ap pearance of two or three gunboats, which threw a few hundred pound shells in among them. The only damage done in our camp was one horse killed, some few tents ripped, Sc.; what was done to other camps I have not been able to hear, but it is supposed to be slight. At G o'clock P. 'AL, ilugust Ist, two or three regiments of infantry, cavalry, &c., were landed on the other side of the river, just opposite our camp. They bad;isot been there many minutes until every house on the river bank was burned to the ground, the burning timbers and stone chimneys coming down with a crash. The yelling of the soldiers could be heard for miles. To-day, August 4th, we have news from the other side of the river of the capture of some few prisoners, five pieces of artillery, and the destruction of a rebel camp. Sol. diers could be seen marching up and down the banks, with turkeys, chickens, geese, &c., suspended from their bayonets. Col. Tyler's battery of five siege-guns are now planted on the river bauk, about two hun dred yards in rear of our camp, which I think, will send them to the last hole if ever they try it again. All is quiet at present along the river, the only enemies we have to contend with now are the flies and mm quitoes: they march in upon us io whole brigades, while "Old Sol" comes down with a vengeance. I am told that "Bowery" is coming out with a company. Michael, can't you man age to send a keg of lager with him; and let him stop at the quarters of the oth U. S. Cavalry Regimental Band? he will find the happiest set of boys he ever beheld. Oh, whew! but it's hot! and our friend Lewis Tredenick, is sweating as much as any of us. Lewis is as jolly as ever, and has come to see the sights. B. F. B. IV/410111k Di 141 THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA. Great Battle in Progress near Culpepper Court House—Account of the First Day's Fight—The Rebels ask perntissionto Bury their Dead—The Battle not resumed--. The Rebels Falling Back. HEADQUARTERS ARMY VIRGINIA, Six miles beyond Culpepper, Virginia, August 10. A battle was fought yesterday between General Banks and Stonewall Jackson.— Gen. Bayard, of Gen. McDowell's Corps, with his cavalry brigade, had been engaged the day before in the extreme advance, near the Rapidan river, skirmishing and man ccuvreing, and taken some prisoners, ending with a slight loss whilst baffling the efforts of a large rebel force to surround and cut him off. Yesterday morning be was engng,ed some hours before Geo. Banks came up, and with , four regiments of cavalry and the First Pennsylvania, First Maine, and First Rhode Island, delayed and tunbarrassed the ene my's advance. The Rebels, under Jackson and Ewell, had crossed the Rapidao in force, and their :Avarice guard. fifteen thousatol strong, was attacked by Gen. Banks yesterday after noon, about six miles south of Culpepper' Court House. The fish: was almost wholly artillery at first, but the infantry became eng,aged about six o'clock, and a determined I and• bloody contest followed. Gen. Banks' I right wing, under Gen. Williams, suffered severely. The Rebel position was in a wood, while the troops which attacked them were obliged to cross the open ground. it was cot until about six o'clock that it be camtrevident that the Rebels were attacking us in . force. Previous to that_ there bo a. been rather a desultory cannonade. The whole Rebel force *suddenly attacked 01 lines in overwhelming' numbersat all point.. nearly all their regiments having fall make. At Ti o'clock General Pope arrived on the field from Culpepper, accompanied by Gen. McDowell with a part of his corps, but the battle was substantially over,, Gen. Banks still holding his ground that fie occupied at the beginning of the battle. After the arrival of Gen. Pope •themewas an artillery contest, continuing at,intervale till nearly twelve o't.lock. The night Wag unusually clear and the moon fall. The Rebels planted a battery against McDowelPe centre, where Gen. Pope and Gen., Banks were, bringing both of them under Are.— The Generals and their staffs were se - near the Rebel lines, being actually its front of their own lines, that a sudden charge of Rebel cavalry was made from the wciods a quarter of a mile off, apparently with a view of capturing them. The attempt, however, was repelled by a vigorous fire from Gen. 51cDowell's troops, and ths , Generals and their staffs left the ground under a eross•fire from the Rebels and our awn troops. The fire of the Rebe' batteries was afterwards silenced. Gen. Pope on arriving sent fresh troops to the front to take the place of Gen. Banks's ex, haueted columns. The enemy did not renew the attack ex cept by artillery. Our troops were under arms and in position all night. Gen. Banks was on the field throughout the action, and constantly under fire. His handling of his troops and personal gallantry is highly praised by Gls officers, and the bravery and good conduct of our troops were conspicu ous during a large part of the fight.

The Fifth Connecticut and Twenty-sev enth Indiana and Forty-sixth Pennsylvania Regiments are badly cut up. Col. Ramsay, of Gen. Banks' staff, had his horse shot under him. The Rebel Gen.

Both Jackson and Ewell were present in the battle. Reinforcements tinder Gen. A. P. Hill, to the amount of 18,000 men, reached the Rebels last night at about the same time that ours arrived. Skirmishing in front is going on this morning, but the troops on both sides are so much exhausted by fatigue and intense heat that no serious encounter is expected to-day. The Baffle ..V;)1 /Zenetee,2-2 he Enemy 'Fal len Back—T he Rebels ask Permission to ii try their Dead. Cet.rerearc, August 11.—The enemy this morning sent in a flag of truce, asking per mission to bury their dead. This shows that with all their superiorty they are too. badly cut up to maintain their position., and that their falling hack yesterday was from necessity, not choice. Our troops are en gaged in bringing off our wounded from the battle-field and burying the dead. Nsw YORK, Angust I.l.—The ElerakVe special report says that Jaciceon'and Ewell had from 40,000 to :0,000 Rebel troops and that our troops hold their position. Gen. Crawftrd'e Brigade was in the ad vance. Another Account Wssnlxoros, August 10.—The most des perate fight for the numbers engaged since the war commenced occurred yesterday at Cedar Mountain, eight miles south of Cu!. pepper Court House, Virginia, between Gen eral Banks' corps d'armee of Gen. Pope's forces and the Rebels under Stonewall Jack son in person. General Pope had sent Gen. Bunko' command to the front early in the morning, and the divisions of Gen. Augur and Williams took positions a mile or a mile and a half this l ido the ground of the skirmish of the day previous. In the afternoon Crawford's brigade of. General Williams' Division, composed of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania, Tenth Maine, Fifth Connecticut and Twenty-eighth New York Regiments, with Brest's Battery (4 Regulars, moved forward to a piece of high, ground between Cedar creek and Crooked, river, some four miles north of the point, where the Culpepper and Godonsville turn pike crosses that stream. To the south of this point, distant about three-fourths of a mile, rises the Cedar Mountain, a spur o£ the great thoroughfare range. No sooner bad our transports emerged. from the timber on lire nbitb, 'and crossed: Cedar Creek, than o bittery of heavy guns, located in the thick timber half way up the mountain side, opened upon them with shot and shell and another, of smaller guns, from a poigt of timber about three-eighth of. a mile to the westward. Brest's battery of Parrot gone was imme diately planted on the crest of the bill, and began replying to the two, while the in fantry was posted in line of battle to the right of the battery. The enemy kept up a continuous firo from both batteries some half hour, which was rapidly returned by Captain Brest, when three additional Rebel batteries opened from, as many different localitiei. At about five o'clock the Rebej inftMtrY was discovered in strong force upon our nest and in front supporting the Rebel bsttenes, when word was sent buck to the titain body stating the fact. Immediately General Au gur's division, with the remainder of Gea. Williams' 'division, were thrown forward..
