With iho tiny closed this memorable
battle, in vhirh, perhaps, tirarlv two humnil

responsibilities. 10 renew the Attack
wain on the lSth. or defer it. with the
chnco of the enemy's retirement afier n
Jay ot suspense, were the questions bolore
me. A cereful and anxious survey of the
condition of my command, and my knowl
edge of tho enemy's force and position,
failed to imnros n:e with any reasonable
certainty ol success if I renewed tho nts
tack without reinl'orcim; columns. A
view of the shattered stato of some of the I

corps sufficed to deter me from pressing
thorn into immudinto action, and 1 fell
that my duty to the army and the oount
ry forbade tho rii-k involved in a busty
movement, which might result in the loss
of what lud been gained the previous day.
Impellod by this consideration, 1 aw tiled
the arrivul of my reinforcements, taking
advantage of the occasion to collect to.
getuer tho dispersed, give rest to the fa
tigued, and rotnovo the wounded. Of the
reinforcements, Couch's division, although
marching wilh commendable rapidity, was
not in position until a lute hour in the
morning; and Humphrey's division of
new troops, fatigued with forced marches,
were ainwin throughout the day, but
were not available until near its close

ivhich were expected during the day, did
not arrive at all.
During tho 18th, orders were given for
a renewal of the attack at daylight on the

my, after hating been pausing troops in
the latter part of tho day from the Vir- j
ginia shore to their position behind Sharps
burg, ns seen by our officers, suddenly
formed the design of abandoning their
line. This movement they executed be
foro daylight. lSeing but a short distanco
from the river, the evacuation presented
hit little difficulty. It was, however, rap
idly followed up. The detachment with.

A second reconnoissanee, the next
morning, which, with the first, was made
byasmall detachmentfrom Porter's corps,
resulted in observing a heavy force of the
enemy there.
I submit herewith a list of the killed,

of the loth, and of the I61I1 and 17h.
Tho enemy's loss is believed, from the
best sources of information, to be nearly

JfO EESPONSE YIT.
It was through the Hon. Fernando
Wood of New York, that the announce-
ment was first mndo to Ihe public., that
terms of settlement were mndo lo the.Tac-
obins nt Washington in Decemler last,
and by them rejected, w hich, had they
beer, accepted, would have been "satis -
factory to the people loth North tnd South,"
No response, ether than a faint denial,
nnd which was ut once promptly met by ,
Mr. Wood, was mnde to this.
Since then, Mr. Vallnndigliam made
the following declaration :
"Or. the 12th of last December, when
from the city of Kichmond information
came lo tho city of New York thnt there
was a disposition lo compromise and re
turn delegates to the national Congress
and be obedient to tho Conslitu'icn nnd
Laws, and thus icstore the Union as it wns,
the President, on that day, rejocted tho
proposition, and tno damning evidence of
rejection ex:sts in cw lork over nisown
autograph but there is an obligation of
secresy nt present, nnd tho letter hns not
yet been given to the public."
To this no response whatever, so far ns
wo have seen, bos been made. Is it true,
or is it false f If false, that fact can be
easily demonstrated. But if true, what a

Apologies
Iuriug the last soss ion of Congress just
terminated, wo had sometimes occasion to
notice n disposition on tho part of n lew
in.Uendence disi.lave.l b'v tl, KM .. in
giving over fourteen hundred thousand
votes for freedom ; ami a disclaimer on
meirpari mat mo isorin intoniiea thereliy
to touch slavery where it has long existed.
TiieSouth knew all this bolore; and in as
failing the North as intending to interfere
with shivery in the Southern Stater, mere
ly either gavo vent to thoir fears as guilt
olten does; or desired to obtain from tho
north an apology for rebellion against the
authority to which she the North bad
so long bubmited.
Now: such members as thus anolomsed
for the north, betrayed their trust. W hat!
fourteen hundred thousand freemen go
down on their knees beforo three hundred
thousand slave drivers, and make npoloi
gies ana beg forgiveness : When those
fourteen hundred thousand voted in Nos
vember last, they voted as men not as
slaves; and their representatives ought to
be aware that the charges of President
Pierce were not only false, but so clearly
false, as to be h hoHy unworthy of notice.
In makint' nnolog eg they have cratifk-d i
the low vunity of the slave drivers, and en-,
couraged them to continuo thoir efforts on
Kansas, nnd to practice fresh insult and
outrago ou tho north. We have yet to
reap the fruits of theso apologies. Had
Wsuster stood firm in lSjtt, the south had
not ventured on the experiment of 1j4.
The slave power is weak, but united, steal
thy, cautious and cunning, and when the
time for action comes it is audacious.
It is fortunate that the north holds two
remedies in her hands. The first disun
ion which is a rapidly yroioimj idea, and is probt
able : the second it striking the slave power
licadbi, abolishing slavery, coistitutinn or no
constitution. The north has the power to do
either. As yet it lacks only the will. Pro
gress however is constant ; and in the com
ing quarter of a century, ono or the other
will take place ', and if ihe first then the
second follows, for it is the Union that keeps
slaver' alive. The Abbervillo iS. C. Spccta
tor says "dissolve the. Union, and as a necessary
eonseiucnec, you utottsn suivcry. In voting
for FiiEiio.NT tho north never dreamed o"

It will be cbserved th.it the purpose to
"touch slavery," not by abolishing it in
the District of Columbia not by prohibit
ing it going into itie territories but
"where it hns long existed," vus bolt'ly
nvowed ns one of tho oiuects of the Met
publican parly ns far back ns 1857 ; that
bnving failed to accomplish their puposeibeen stated, Oaptau
nt that lime through the election of Fro-
1 the election of Fro-
mont, they consoled themselves with the
reflection Hint "two remedies" were still
left them, one or the otlicr of which would
take place "within the coming quarter of
a century;'' and tinnlly, tlint, in llicir
opinion, it wns "tho Union thnt kept
( slnvery nlive." One of theso ' remedies"
j was the Pi-solution of the Union -pence
ably, perhaps j the other, the plan now in
: practice, at nn expense of three millions
0f dollars. ntd hundreds of vnluablo lives,
j per day. It is just such traitorous scamps
' as the author of the foregoing that nre now
calling upon Lincoln and his satraps to
"shoot down as public enemies" all men
who are even suspected of sympathising
with secession.
But this article is interesting in another
respect
We aro often told lhat tho pre
sent rebellion was the culmination of a
conspiracy long previously planned by the
Southern bluvc-holdcrs for the pvrjwsc of
perpetuating slavery. 1'ut here wo nre
told cpuile n different stoty and one
which wo believe to be strictly truo for,

I tack and many long weary marches, for I
am nothing more or less than a high pri
valo in the rear rank, and it cortniuly can
not bo for the small recompense of thir,
teen dollars a month that induced mo to
leave a homo and friends that are as doar
to mo as my own existence, and under
take to brave the hardships that are al
ways accompanied by war ; and even if
life is required, will oiler it up in behalf
ofour beloved country and then be term"
ed a traitor by a man that is not worthy
the name! It makes my blood boil to
think that men who would not cross their
owe door threshold in the defence of their
country at least their recont notions
prove it but blow and howl on their own
dunghill ; such men are worthy to be
leaders of swine not human beings and
are great consolation to thesoldiors in the
field, and such men arc well lermod the

Webster obtained n commission as cap-
toin ot cavalry from Governor Picrpout in
November last, on a forged letter of rec
ommendation. !n tho meantime he wns
captured by the rebels, was paroled, nnd
had returned to his company; but the fact
of the discovery of ihe forgery having
leaked oul, Captain Webster pnseeu with
in ihe rebel lints to escape a trial by a
Federal court martial. It is suppose J that,
under these circumstances, he was ngnin
nr res led bv the rebels, nnd tried nnd con
victed for vioWtiug hi parole. Not much
is known of Webster beyond what is
above 6tnted. lie was thrown unto the
surface by this rebellion, from somewhere
ir Toxns or ihn West, and was regarded
,IS a very ignorant but daring and resolute
fellow. He dealt with the rebels without
mercy nnd without fear, nnd is reported
to have killed a rebel otlicer, not long be
fore his second arrest, by cutting his throat
from ear lo cur.
THE NEWS.

important was accomplished.
The advices from Kentucky and Tenn
essee are rather more encouraging still
the rebels are numerous and active around
Nashvillo.
