Knipe; 109tb, Col. Btsinrooh; and the lllth, Major Walker. They all covered themselves with glory, and Penneylphnla may well be proud of them. I was on the field from tho commencement to the end of the fight, and 1 can aver that not a single man left the ranks or showed the least sign of cowardice. The 46th lost all their officers, with the exception of Ueut. Colonel Selfridge, I captain, and 3 lieutenants. Tberanks'are so greatly thlnnedthan it does, not num ber much oyer 150 men. The, 109th, which was,in Gen. Prince’s brigade in the centre, wastho last regiment to leave the field, and they came near being all taken pri soners." “Scarcely an officer in the regiment but was in jured, and, in proporflon to thoir number, they" lost as many out qf the ranks as any regiment on the fieid. The 111th Begiment was led by Major Walker, and went through the hottest of the fight, bat, ’luckily, had not a single officer kilted or wounded. No doubt officers will ’ be sent borne to recruit for thesetthroe reglmetns, and those who wish to enlist could not join themselves, to better ones. It is to be hoped that the ranks of the 109th will speedily be filled, and that, when they go into the noxtbattle, they will have 1;COO instead of3oo men. GENERAL BANKS’ OriNlON OF THE BATTLE, 'The following remarks of Major General Banks to General Geary are significant. Goaorai Geary was lying on the grass suffering from his “wound,' when General Banks came up to him,and,Bald,.“General^l, grieve fo.r your misfortune as I do for bo many of onr.friends, but Ibelieve no fault can he found with us, and sure lam that from the beginning ofthe world no men fought tetter than our troops." THB SEW YORK,,FAFERB’ SBNSATION ItBPOHT OF . < THE- BATTLE. : The sensation and inaccurate reported tho,battle tele graphed to some of the: New YorkrJWJjers have created ' great' deal -of merriment here. The-reporters wen m -V.. - - • , ..'J V fjf either not on the'field or they purposely made misstate ments. Onr troops did not hold possession of the battle field dming Satntda? night, acd Gen. Pope did not arrive at the sceno of operation until about 7 o’clock. Re then did all that man could do to arrange the fresh troops continually arriving, so as to prevent a surprise. In llie morning the troops were placed in Buoh a position that if tho robots had attackod them, they would have found onr men ready for them. • - Genoral Banks had sole command of- the troops during he battle, and Ids coolness and intrepidity were every where praised. THE CHANGE IN GEN. BANKS’ CORPS. : In.consequence of the accident to General Banks, Gene ral Williams has been placed in command of the corps, Goneral Crawford taking command of General Williams’ division. Lieut. Col. Selfridgei of the 46th Pennsylvania, beiig the only field officer in Cuncral Crawford’s brigade, has been placed in command of tho brigade. General Augur having beon wounded, General Greene has been placed in command of his division. WHAT WAS GAINED BY THE BATTLE. II onr troops did not drive the rebels from their posi-’ tion, they put an effectual check to Jackson’s advance. From prisoners Bud deserters wo learned that before Jack Eon left Goreonsville he sent out for large reinforce menfe, to be.-taken .from those troops who had been in ' cattle near Bicbmond, and therefore were well seasouod. They, were tent to him, and when he left Gordonsvillo ho . exprosßed himself as being able to whip tha Federal .ftrof ps and march upon Washington. Bat he met with such a revere resistance at Slaughter Mountain that he changed his mied, and he is now in full retreat, oioseiy^•- followed by our troops. <: So far as we can learn,ho commenced Ills retreat on Monday, during tire time the fiag of truce was on tho field. . On Monday night his camp fires were unusually brilliant, but In the morning (Tuesday), when our troops went to reconnoitre, the rebel General and all his troops had fled. Gin. Pope Immediately sent Gen. Buford, chief of cavalry, with a large force, after him, and thoy were followed -by portions.of Bigel’s and McDowell’s .corps. y - The movement of General Burnside, and onr rapidly increasing force in his front, greatly, accelerated tho flight of the rebel General. How far he will retreat I do not know, but it is expected that our forcoß will over take him, and ferce him to give us battle. Portions of General Sigel’s corps now occupy the old position of the rebels. OUR LOSS IK "OFFICERS. The immenßO loss of officers, in proportion to the number engaged, is everywhere remarked. It is, how ever, accounted for by the fact that tbo rebelshad plenty of sharpshooters, and as our officers greatly ex ...poecd themselves, they furnished a good mark to the rebels ana they took advantage of it. THE HOSPITALS IS CULPEPER. - Culpeper is one vast-hojpltal. Every church, hotel, and almost every, private houso, contains sick and wounded officers and soldiers. All the delicacies, Buoh as ice, preserves, wines, &c„ have to be sent from Wash ington! Ab many as can be romoved have been sent to Alexandria and Washington, where they will no doubt have better accommodations. Mott of tho wounds ore in the arum and thighs, and consequently a great number of amputations have been performed. J. M. O. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The Movements of McClellan’s Army— -Visit from General McClellan—Trans portation Espenses—What Tags and Ocean Steamers Cost per Day—Steam Constantly kept np on Them. [Special Correspondence of Tho Press.] Fortress Mosroe, August I t, 1862. .General MoCall arrived this afternoon from Har rison’s Landing, and leaves immediately for Wash ington. The movements in whieh tho Army of tho Potomac is engaged are freelyspoken of and specu lated upon, but are contraband for publication. General McOlellan was here last evening, in citi * zin’s dresa, but returned during the night to Harri son’s Landing. This visit was very private. Wher -ever ho takes his army, it is to be hoped that if will bo longer need* transportation by water. The expense whioh the Government; has- incurred for * steamers is eoormous. Every imaginable passen ger boat that How York, Philadelphia, er Hew England people have been in the habit of seeing, for years, in their waters, is either here or in the James river, at an expense of from $250 to 81,000 a d ay, while little tugs are puffing about to the tune of from $5O to §2OO daily. The ocean; steamers Baltic, Atlantic, and others which* have-lain here idle for weeks, unable, from their draught of water, to- ascend the James, were chartered at- a cost of $1,260 a day. It may he safely said that every steamer the Government has hired now earns more than an d SStftfTar cheaper for the G overnmen t to hav o - purchased all its steamers and resold thorn after the wax. Many lay idle for days together, or are only heed perhaps to transport half a dozen, or oven one officer or surgeon who may have an errand. Steam is constantly kept tip on all of them. This is fear ful. Every boat, in a few months, at its rate of cb alter, payg its first cost. Soldiers have been for many days passing through here northward, for re ' craitiDg purposes, ten being detailed from each regiment. H. ’’ Portress Monroe, August 15,1852. TIIE CHANGE OF base—THE MOVE TOYORKTOTVSb Tbe Sew York Tribune haring made a fail revelation in yesterday iyssae of Qen. McClellan's contemplated movement, anditsprob able direction,: correepondenia from this point of other papers need oontinne reticent no longer upon a- fact which has long been known; and of which .they hare kept their ‘principals privately advised. An x additional motiyo for an avowal, is the foot that ere this letter ie pablished the Army of the Potomac- will be in Yoiktown, and probably on its way from thence to a new field of, action. _ Baggage is coining down, the James river in large quantities, bound- to York torn, and the troops aro now on the march over laid. Four divisions stilt remain behind, but will daibtless be off by to-morrow, morning, .that of «' ' ' In. Sumner forming the rear guard, and all will probably be in Yorktorra by Sunday, night. (TUB TBOOMOX TUB SOUTH SIM. Jim Troops of Porter's division; on the south side the James river, have not yet all recrossod, but II soon do so, and the Army of the Potomac 'like the baseless .fabric of a vision,’- - will" have anished, and “ left not'a wrack behind.” iM’CLBLLAN’S OLD PLAIT TO- BB CaHrIED- OPT. = til informed you in yesterday’s letter that Gen, JfcClellan bad privately been here the night before, ho submarine cable to the eastern .shore haying bpn broken, he crossed oyer there for the purpoW 0 telegraphing to Washington. Gossip avers that hjasked permission to attack Richmond, deserters hying informed him that'nearly all the force there ■Jbi been sent to the aid of Jackson, and that the cjp was comparatively defenceless. Prom his pro- - sit movement be doubtless received a negative rply, the Government, perhaps, preferring thht he siuld assist in attacking Jackson’s army, rather tin waste time upon Richmond, which, in itself, is olittle strategio value. fhe James river, this morning, is reported to have bin alive with moving vessels, and they are:fast •risking past hereon their mission, ttifchoufc paying u the compliment of anchoring. Recruits to a s lerate extent are also arriving, bound to Har rjn’s landing, hut their orders being eounter nnded they will probably go to Yerktown. I ACTIVITY BVKBTWHBRB. ' Shis looality, therefore, stil t keeps up its bustling, lijly appearance, but without the proximity of Mhellan’s army it will; relapse into the quiet of ifformer days. McClellan’s movements, on reaoh inYorktown, will doubtless depend on theposi-' ti| of Gen. Pope. : T. m^m-. \ Sngfiosticiit for the Hour. j] ijmHilltbr of-The Press: Jm: All well- wishers to tho South will, we think, ridily admit the truth of this remark, viz: That, faherto, Northern sympathy in its behalf has been itlbane.

Governor Brown, it will bo seehj denies the right of the Confede rate Congress to forcibly enroll citizens of Georgia, on the ground that ft is a violation ol the fiocfrine of State fights, which is the corner-stone of the Confederacy.

In other words, Congress may dtßband the State Governments any day when it, as the judge, decides that by so doing it,“creates an instrumentality for exe cuting the specific power” to “raisearmies.’ 1 , If Congress has tho right.to discriminate, and take only those between 18 and Si, It has the right to make any other discrimination it may judge « necessary and proper” in the “ execution of the power,” and it may pass a law in time of peace or war, if it should conclude the State Governments.are an evil, that all State officers, executive, legislative, judicial, and military, snail en ter the armies of tbe Coufederacy ai privates nuder offi cers appointed by the President, and.that the army shall from time io time be recruited from other State officers as they may be appointed by the States. ■ To state theoase in different form, Congress has power, under the 12th paragraph of the Bth section of the Ist article of the Constitution, to disband the State Govern- . monte, and leave the people of the States, with no other Government than such military despotism' as Congress, in tbe exercise of (be specific power to <- raise armies’’ (which 1 understand you to bold 1s a distinct power to beicoßßtrued separately), may, after an application of yonr test, judge to bo; best for the people, , , For, as ail the State officers which I mention might make.effective privates in the armies of the Oonfoderaoy, and as tbe’law passed to compel them to enter the service might “ create an instrumentality for executing the spe cific, powers to raise Brmies,” Congress, the judge, need only to decide^,and the act would be constitutional. I may be reminded, bowever, that Congress passed an exemption act after tho passage of the conscription act, which exempts tbe Governors ofthe States, the members of the State Legislatures, the judges of the Stats courts, Ac., frem the obligation to enter the military service of the Confederacy as 'privates under Confederate officers. It must be borne in mind, however, that’this very act of exemption by Congress is an assertion of the right vested In Congrets to compel them to go when Congress shall so direct,; as Congress has the satne.power to repeal wbioh H had to pass the exemption act. All the State officers, therefore, are exempt from conscription by the grace and special favor of Congress,, and hot by right, as,tho Go vernments of the independent States, whose agent, and hot master, Congress had’ been erroneously supposed to be. If this doetrine be correct, or what value are State rights and State sovereignty ? Ton adopt the definition of- the Attorney General, that’ “the militia are a body or soldiers in a State enrolled for discipline,” Admit, for the purposes of the argument, the correctness of the definition. All persons, therefore, who are enrolled for discipline under the laws of Georgia, constitute her militia. When’ the persons thus enrolled (the militia) are employed in the service of the Confede rate States,the Constitution expressly reserves to Georgia the appointment of tne officers. The conscription act gives the President the power by compulsion to employ every one of those persons, between 18 and 35, in the service of (be Confederate States;. and denies to a State .the appointment of a single officer Jo command ibom, while .thus “employed.” Suppose Congress at 'b'rt tWth’cStflB'Hb’ They, entereddho wth, only the training common to to.e ciUzons of thß .Stats,., of ftttaut iU time of the If* c»U TWO CENTS. for twelve regiments, concurring in this view, and recog nizing" of the State. .And it is,proper that I should remark that the State has, in each case, been per mitted to exeroise this right, where the troops enter the servioe,.in compliance with a requisition upon the State for “organized bodies of troops ” The. right does not stop hero, however. The Constitution does'not say the btato shali appoint tlio officers while tho organizations may be forming to enter the service of the Confederacy, but while ihey “may ; be employed in the service of tho Confederate. States,” .Many tnonsands are notr.se eat jptoytdt vacancieg iu the different officersars frotnsiitly occoiriDg by death, resignation, & 0 The laws of, this State provide how these vacancies are to be fi led, and it is 7wt to bo done by promotion of tho officers next in rack, except In a single instance, bat by • election of the regiment, and commission by tho Governor. The right of tho State fed appoint these officers seems to be admitted and Is, indeed, too cfr&r to be questioned. * The conscription act, if it is to bo construed according to Its language, and the practice which your generals are .MtabUahint underit, denies to the State the exercise of this right, and prescribes a rule for selecting all officers in future, unknown to the;laws of Georgia, and confers upon the President the power to commission them. Oaa this usurpation (I think ho milder term expressesitfaithfully) ibe jabtifted under the danse of tho Constitution which gjves Congress power to “ raise armies,” and is this part .of thoact constitutional? If not, you have failed to es« tablish the constitutionality of tho conscription aot. Tho conscription act 'embraces so large a proportion of the militia officers of this State rb to disband the mi litia in the event they should be compelled to leave their coma aids. This would leave me without the power to reorganize them, as a vacancy chn only bo created in one - of these offices by resignation of the incumbent, or by the voluntary pe*fonri&noe of some act which amounts to an abandonment of bis command,; or by a sentence of a conrbmartial dismissing him from office. The officer who is dragged from his command bv conscription, or compulsion, and placed in the ranks, is in neither cate gory ; and his office is no more vacated than the office of a judge v ottld be if ho were ordered into military service Imve no be a vacancy I fion or by a brovi-t appointment. I have no right in their case to commission a successor go long as there is a legal incumbent. Viewing the conscription act in this particular as not only unconstitutional, bat as striking a blow at the very existence of this State, by disbanding the portion of her militia left within her limits when much tho larger part of her Manns-bearing people’! are absentia other States in the military service of the Oonfediiacy, leaving their families, and other helpless women and children, subject to massacre by negro insurrection for want of ,an or*, ganized force to suppress it, I felt it an imperative duty whichlowed the people of, this State, to inform yon, in a former letter, that I could not permit the disorganize, tion to take place, nor the State officers to be compelled to leave their respective commands and enter the Con federate service as conscripts Were it not a fact well known to the country that yon now have tn the service tens of thousands of men without,arms and with no im mediate prospect of gotting arms,'who must remain for .months consumers of our scanty supplies of pro visions without ability to render service while their la bor would lie most valuable in their farms and workshops, there might be the semblance of a plea of necessity for forcing the ■State officers to leave their commands, with the homes of their people unprotected, and go into camps of instiuction, under Confederate officers, often much more ignorant than themselves of military science or training. I must, therefore, adhere to my position, end maintain the integrity of the Btato:Government In its' executive, legislative, judicial and military depart ments, as long as I can command sufficient force to vpre vent it ; from being disbanded, and its people reducel to . a state cf provincial dependence upon the Central power. If I have nst d strong language in any part of this let ter, 1 beg you to attribute It only to my zeal in the advo cacy of prirclpk-e, and the cause which I consider no less than the cause of constitutional liberty, im(prilled by the erroneous views and practice of those placed upon the watch-tower as its constant guardians.. I know the vast responsibility resting upon you, and wonid never willingly add unnecessarily to their weight, or in any way embarrass yon in the discharge of your im portant duties, While I cannot agree with yon in opinion upon the grave question under discussion, I beg you to .command me at all liases, when X can do you a personal service, or when I can, without a violation of the constitutional obligations resting upon me, do any service to the great cause in which we are so vitally in tern str-d. ; Hoping tbat a kind Providence raay gtva you wisdom bo to conduct the, affairs of our young Confederacy as may result In the early achievement of our independence, and rtdound to the ultimate and happiness of our whole people, . I have the honor to be, very respectfully, Fonr obedient servant, JOSEPH E. BBOWN. P. S.—Since the above letter was written, I see some what to my; surprise, that you thought proper to publish part of our mi finished correspondence. In reply to my flret letter you simply stated on the point in question, that the constitutionality or the act was derivable from that paragraph in the Gonatiiution which'givss Congress the power to raise and support ar mies. I replied to that letter ,with no portion of your ar gument but the simple Bta’ement of your position before me. You then, with the aid of your cabinet, replied to my second letier, giving the argument by which you at tempt to sustain your position, and without allowing time for your letter to,reach me, and areply be sent, you publish my second letter and your reply, which is your first argument of the Queslion. I find these two letters not only in the newspapers but also In pamphlet form, I presume by your order for general circulation. While I cannot .'suppose'.that your sense of duty and propriety would permit you to publish part of an un finished correspondence for the purpose of forestalling public opinion, I must conclude that your course is not the nsual one in such cases. As the correspondence was an official one, upon a grave constitutional question, I bad supposed it would be given to the country through Congress and the Legislature of the State. ’ : But, as you have commenced the publication in Hits hasty and, as I think, informal manner, you will admit that I have no other alternative but to continue it. I 'must, therefore, request, as an act of justice, that all newspapers which have published part of the correspen- Bichmosd, July 10, 1862 Bov. Jos, MS' Brown, Atlanta, Ga.: . Bear Sir: I have received yourdetter of 2let ult., and would have contented myself with the simple acknowJ ledgment of its receipt, but for one or two matters coit tained in it, which seem to require distinct reply. , I deemed it my duty to state my views in relation to the constitutionality of the conscript taw-for the reasons mentioned in my letter to you, but it waa no part of my intention to enter into a protraoted discussion. It was convenient to send my view* to others than youreelf, and for this purpose I caused my letter, together with yours, to be printed in pamphlet form. I ammot aware of having omitted any part of your .observations, nor did I anticipate any further cerrespondenco on the subject. I supposed you had fully stated your views, as I had stated mine, and no practical benefit could fie obtained by fur ther discussion. It is (Joe, however, to myself to disclaim in the most pointed manner a,doctrine which you have been pleased to attribute to me, and against which you Indulge in lengthened argument. Neither in my letter to you, nor hr any sentiment ever expressed by me, csri there be found just cause to impnte to me the belief that Congress Is the anal judge of the constitutionality of a contested I said in my letter that “where a specific.power is granted Congress rs the judge whether the law pawed f» the purpose of executing that power is necessary and proper.” : . . ■ ;■ i never asserted, nor intended to assert, that after the par sage of Buch law it might riot be declared unconstitu tional by, the courts on complaint made by an individual: nor that judgment of Cocgress was conclusive agiinßt a State, as supposed by you; nor that allthe co-ordinate branch'* of the General Government could together finally decide a question of the reserved righto of a State The right of each State to judge, in: the last resort, whether its reserved powers'bad been usurped by the General Government, is too familiar and well-settled a principle to admit of discussion , As I ,cannot see, : however, after the most respectful consideration ot alt that you have said,' anything to change my conviction that Congress has exercised only a plainly-granted specific power in raising ite armies by conscription, I cannot share the alarm and concern about State rights which yon so evidently: seem to feel, but which to me seom quite unfounded. 1 am, very respectfully.

THE CROPS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTH - [From the Bicbmond Enquirer, 14] ; One of the leading merchants of Blchmond, now in-the South, furnishes ns with the following very in teresting letter. It is dated atYicksburg, Mississippi, arid reached us a few days ago. The writer says : One of the severest droughts that ever afflicted this re gion of, country has at last culminated; in rain—yes, it rains 1 at length—& good old-fashioned summer rain worth millions in dollars to the country. As I passed through South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, my breast swelled with emotion, asmysight was regaled with fields of-waving com,’where lately bloomed the kingly eta pie of the South. -,- i.ast year I made, a similar tour of these states and saw immense fields of cotton, hut no com, save a few little patches for plantation use.
