The intense interest recently directed . to the events upon the Potomac has almost caused the West to be forgotten. Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-' sone, Kansas, and the Territories, all have had a share of the" war, but excepting the Cincinnati and Mtmfordville emeittes, not a thought seems to have been given to the wretched state o'f the more distant country. Hindman and Curtis are still 'co quetting in Arkansas, and the movements of both are wrapped in. inexplicable mystery, thmigh we' have the utmost confidence in the eminent ability of . General Curtis, who, before the war, and since, has done so much to benefit his country." General Grant is closely watohing Price's ragged army from his camp at Memphis. In Midland, the same useless mad bat barons guerilla raids which have so long cursed their beautiful State continuo. Recently, however, there seems to have been renewed vigor on the Federal side. Several of the roving bands of North Missouri have been attaok'ecl, defeated, and scattered, and one or two chieftains have voluntarily given up a life Of plunder and rapine, and surrendered themselves to honest men . . The martyred State of Kansas is, beyond all others, ono of whose affairs we are igno rant. The, telegraph and mails are ominously si lent. It is to be trusted, however, that the exalted patriotism whichlias been her greatest boast, still remains unconquered. John Ross, from the In dian Territory, pays his court to the President. His tribe, or at leatt the majority of it, have resisted ell the wiles of that prince of savages, Albert Pike , and the Cherokee nation sets an example of great honor to those of a more eastern longitude who claim a higher civilization. 'lho Arkansas poet's phalanx of savages seems still to be in embryo. The West at the present writing portends a greater field than the Potomac. The drama enacted on the banks of Antietam is closed. May Buell, and Grant, and Curtis, be equally successful with Mc- Clellan. The LoTat GOvernors in Council. The meeting of the loyal Governors at Al toona, in this State, has been made the suhject of characteristic attack and misrepresentation in certain of the sensation papers, In New York and elsewhere. What these patriotic magistrates really did may be ascertained by reference to their address to President LP:f ont: yesterday morning. At a moment when the most indiptrious efforts are made to mislead, alarm, and divide our people, the ox. pression of confidence in the President, on the part of the loyal Governors, and their de termination to sustain him in all his efforts to save . the Republic, especially in his Emancipation Proclamation .to the Seceded Slates, will produce the best results. So far from meeting to dictate to the:: Flderal Executive, their action has been ;directed to the noble purpose of btrengthening b;s bands.. And in . the name of every loyal citizen, we honor and thank them for their cheering words and patriotic suggestions. But the most injurious and unpardonable of the fabrications in regard to this Congress of Governors, is the Lassertion, widely pub lished and generally believed, that several of their number attempted to do injustice to Gen. MoCnErmax, and oven tried to deprive him of his command. The honored names of Go'vernor SPRAOUR, of Rhode Island, Gov enter ANDREW, of Massachusetts, and Govern or Yains; of Illinois, are deliberately used as parties to this dark intrigue, and the New York Herald gloats over the despatch repeating this story wilt significant exultation—one journal • I in this city pinting the same accusation, and another editorially endorsing it. We are now " authorized to state that nothing against Gene ral IdoCLELLaa was attemptedatAlteona,A .l the meeting of the Governors, and.that (iihne ral FREMONT'S name was only' indirectly mentioned. Governor CIIILICt Fakit r aftiOk . ton yesterday afternoon, but Governor. Tort, of Olft, and.. Governor Priiii , ewe, of Irir ginia, have both directed us to say that the whole Story is unfounded and untrue. The ctinsultation of the magistrates of the loyal States was entirely harmonious, and ttuir ad. dress to the President, and his response, prove that it has been productive of the greatest vied, and will go far to obliterate all , strife among the true friends of the Republic. • Fenosylvanitt Soldiers' Relief Association 'This most efficient organization for the relief of the wounded, and sick soldiers of Pennsylvania, located in Washington, has rendered incalculable service during the last six mont'As. We have a note from the effi cient chairmsn of the Finance Commitec of this society, D. L. EATON, IJsq. , in which he states that cg about five thousand of the wounded from the battles of South Moun tain and Antietam arc already in Washing ton." A very - large proportion of these are Pennsylvanians. Our own people have given without stint to the common cause, but as their generosity, like their loyalty, is hies- bauStible, we trust they will respond to this last appeal of the Pennsylvania Soldiers' Re lief Association. Contributions addressed to D. L. EATON, Esq., Washingtce D. C., will Le gratefully acknowledged. General McClellan Between the men whose especial Wetness it is to carp at General MeCfmnatt and those who praise him only because they think he is distasteful to certain extreme interests, our viCtorious young General is having a "gay and happy" time of it. Those who are op posed to Ncer.s.f.Lax deny him great military qualifications in the face of his last wonderful battles, and those who favor him accept the criticisms of the other class as so many proofs that the Administration and its friends are his enemies. Plain facts show, however, that General Itiecnamax has had in President LINCOLN a constant supporter and an earnest friend. It was this faith in MCCLELLAN that induced the President to stand by him from the first ; and It gives us great satisfaction to state that Governor CURTIN has been no less zealous"and consistent in sustaining the Com mander of the Army of the Potomac. General lifeCrErr.sx r although a young man, is a wise man. Between the partisans who criticise and underrate him, b and those who land and glorify him for their own personal ends, he can readily discriminate. All of his interests are on the side of the authorities that have given him their confidence. They have been true to him, and he will) be true to them. As yet, he has given ear neither to those who caldly criticise or falsely,praise him. He has been singularly reticent and prudent. Great hopes and greater interests are centred in 6301t0f: B. lacCrana.str. The interests of his country and his own just ambition have heretofore inspired him to confide in the Governnient which has steadily, earnestly, and generously • strengthened and protected him. He could strike a fatal blew at an, imperilled Republic if he were stimulated by the animosities of his foes, or seduced by the hollow praise of his doubtful friends. It there is any min alive who' can afford to trust to his loyal countrymen, it le GEORGEI B. 111coarxt,A.N. The Accident"at Harrisburg. There has cc mo no sadder news to us, for many: day, lipta,thgdeepatola which tells of the sudden nisl violent death, and horrid mn tilation;of many. brave 14llows who had left their , homer,•with the alacrity of disin terested lattiotiam, . in .response to. the Governor's call. The sickening details will be found in another column; here we only wish to mourn the gallant dead, and mourn with those who are so cruelly bereaved by this awful calamity. These brothers and neigh bors have falleu ; many a hearth is made deso ,late in our city and State; but they have fallen none the less truly in the - country's cause be cause the glory of a soldier's death was not drared around them, nor the wild sights and &Inds cf the battle-field tlasheefgeir.jast breaths with the ardor of heroic, daiing: ; They ItaTe fallen in the discharge of . duties.po'•,lesis incumbent on them as soldiers, anciTAitir airs for them are stayed by the proud recollection. We refrain from cri!icism or 'censure. All due investigation of the accident and its causes will be made by the proper parties. Our volunteers—the men who exchange all the Sweet . comforts and pleasures of home and of kindred for the haid,shipa of camp and rude toil among strangers—must at least be and feel safe in the hands of the State that summons, and uses their services. Meanwhile let us cherish all honor for *the; dead, extend all comfort to the: wounded, of fer all the consolation we dol.e to the sorrows ing bereaved. • THOSE who stand, by the Government in the. efforts of the Administration• to preServe it have a double duty to perforin. They are not only called upon to strengthen and to de.• fond the Administration in all its measarga for a vigorous prosecution of the ,war, but they must see that the friends of the common, cause are returned by the people to repreient them in the. next Congress of the United States. _Not so, however, with the enemies of, the Government and the war. Professedly loyal, they devote their whole time to partisan ship. Mere opposition is always irresponsible, and therefore easy. To cavil at the Adminis tration, to magnify the blunders of public-- servants, to misrepresent the objects of the war, to alarm the people with apparitions of a large debt and heavy taxation—these are cheap and convenient method's by which to aid and comfort the common enemy. The greater the responsibilities of the . true men who stand by the Government in this hour, the' more need for self-sacrificing patriotism on their part, and for sleepless vigilance in de-' totting and exposing the secret designs, of the. sympathizers with Secession. Late Soutnern News In our second edition of to-day ire present our readers with highly-important. Southern news, which we glean from Richniond news papers of the 24th and 25th instant., They were. furnished us by Lieut. DARLING, aid-de camp to Gen. Drx. LETTER FROM oceAsioNAL!, WASHINGTON. Sept. 26, 1862. he avowed aka of the Brackiaridge politicians throughout the free States is to take - the management of the wax from the bands of the present Administration, and to conduct it on their own account. This is their, proclaimed platform. They allege that Mr. Lincoln and his friends aro unfit for and unequal to this mighty task. The key-note of this movement was uttered by Horatio Sey mour, of New . York, at Albany, on the 10th of September, before what'was called the Demo cratic State Convention, which placed that reckless and shameless politician in nomina tion for Governor. Re stated that cc the very character of the Republican organization makes it incapable of conducting the affairs of the Government." And you will observe, in looking over the political field, that the men so lected t o relieve the Administration in the man agement of the war aro, with inconsiderable ex ceptions, men like Seymour, the same who sus tained the measures which may be said to have prepared for and precipitated the war. It is to these men that the destiniei of our great Republic are to be entrusted. Their triumph would be the assured destruction of the Union. When they found that they could not control the Democratic masses •in 1860, by forcing them to support the nominees for President and Vice President of a minority not only of the Democratle:Natienal Convention, bat of a minority' of the people, they threatened and Bowed the Administration, of Mr. Buchanan, I drove eleven States into secession, and main tained, North and South, an attitude of deft ance to the popular will, as pronounced at the ballot-box in November of 1860, which was only quieted, so far as the free. States were concerned, by• the popular up- • risirg that followed the fall of Fort Sump ter. Down that hour their hearts and hands were against their conetry, and from that time to the present -their loyalty has been a mere pretence, the polished veneer that hides their own internal and unquench able corruption and treason. It is a historical fact that if the Administration of the Govern mint has been weakened in this struggle for the pre ervation of the Republic, those Who have ss` the the most, if not everything, to weaken it the very Politicians who now clamor sgainsteits alleged incapacity and incompe tency—the :eery leaders who iosist that they, and they alone, can conduct the war. How they propose to conduet it wo,may anticipate by weighing their present professions and practices. Undoubtedly. their Policy would be the reverse of that of Mr. Lincoln. Wholly ident fied with the Southern traitors now striking at the flag, and almost witeent exception committed by former associations and by recent secret correspondence to • these traitors, 'they would, •of , comae;- •so conduct the war as to satisfy the - Sehei eionists. If there was ariy ccvigor "it would be exhibited in favor-of the rebellion.; if there was any statesmanship it' would be to provide for a speedy and a sinuneless peace.. Is it necessary that I should call Your atten tion to the manner in which these ambitions leaders administer, the Government under' James : Buchanan Ido not wonder that they are diseatistled with Mr. Lincoln's role. lam not surptised that they should denounce his earnoat and honest efforts to detect and punish the cbiet conspirators in this unholy revolt• t against a good Government. If he is permitted i to go - on,•those who ObstFuct and mhiripresont • him will not be perrnitt,xl to resume power. If he, is . not broken down, the: rebellion will be broken-down.. Jefferson Davis is not more resolute in his oppesition to the American 'Unionthan he is, sincere in wishing . success • . to, the Breckinridge .organization in' the coming elections in•the free States. Should he, ,be able to point his followers to a Breekinridge majority in Pennsylvania, New .10any, and NeWYork, in October and No , vember, be can proudly lay the people of I, theie three, VoinmOnwealtini bave decided r against Mr. Lincoln's AdMinistration, and, by conseqnenne v in ;favor of the Sonthern oli garchy. ,Is not this,infeienee folk? Let,those who doubt, road the Southern newspapers; the Richmend Enquirer, the Grierindi 4ppeai, and the Montgomery dkiverhser; the , organs re spectively of Davis, Breckinridge, and Yancey, • ar.d they will find that nearly the same bitter ness, - 11 indulged • against Mr. Lincoln's Ad mhaistration that fills the anti-war newspa pers in thee North and West. .iltre Vallandig ham is canonized as a saint, and his' speeches are published in eztenso. The Hon. Ben Wood is called a patriot and hero, and your Wil liam B. Reeds, George M. Whartons, and William H. Wittes aro commended for the ' firmness with which they stand by the doc trines they advocated in 1860, and for the courage with which they resist the energetic efforts by President Lincoln to exterminate the encodes of the country. Let the manage ment of the war be confided -to the Breckin ridge leaders of the free. States—let them first' capture the United States House of Repre sentatives so as to embarrass the Federal authorities,"and the next stop will . be over. tures from the Southern Confederacy for the recognition of their usurpation, and for an ad justment, which will leave the free States not alone degraded in the eyes of the world, bat the prey to discontents that must end in separating them into insignificant pro vinces. Shall these efforts of the synipa. thizers with treason, the Brackinridge load ers, be • crowned with success 1 This is the question that comes home to every patriotic heart. If we listen to their cries against the draft, to their falsehoods in regard to ' the national debt and to taxation, to their -out rageous fabrications in reference to the ob jects of the Administration in the present war—if we are misled by their exaggerated idea that this is a contest for negro equality, that negro labor is to be brought in to com.. pate with the free white. labor of. the North and West--then undoubtedly their effoita will triumph, and the cause of our country b e corn .. muted •to their hazds. The Wane li thus ' plainly stated, so that.when the day of election Ikiwi arrive no citizen may say that he has not At en opportunely edmcinished. If the ballot bps in the loyal States can be perverted to a decree ageing the Administration' in the i management of the war, no doubtful constrad lion will be put,upon that verdict, either by the traitorS;in ztAsSotith, or Our enemies is the Old.World.'

Governors of the Loyal . StateS—Their - Interview with the Presi dent--The Address of the Governors to the President., WA SHISOTOI44 Sept. 26.—The Governors of the follow kg named States arrived here this morning from Altoona, nsmeli klateachueetts, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Wiaeonsin, lowa, rdichigin, New Rampthire, and Indiana—the le s t na m ed st a t e being represented by Col. Roes. Between 12 and 1 o'clock they had an interview of en official character with the President, and presented an address, expressing— First. A. cordial personal and official respect for the, President. Second. A determination., under ail circumstances, to, support add maintain his constitutional authority, and the Governors therein speaking for themeelves and the people of their respective States. Third. Pledging to him their aid in all measures cal culated to being the war to an early termination, which should be vigorously prosecutedo ultimate victory, un less all the rebels shall return' to their constitutional duty and obedience. Pourth. Congratulating the President upon his amen cipalion proclann tion, believing that it will be produc tive of good as a measure of inetice and sound polky, and Fifth. Referring to the merits of the soldiers who have fought our battlea. The Governors were courteously and kindly received, and their suggestions listened to with close attention. It is ascertained, from those who.hod the best oppor- Walks for knowlag, that there was no proposition made at the recent conference at Altoona, nor oven, a sugges tion ventured, touching the removal of General McClel lan ; nor was any proposition offered or suggestion made as to the promotion of Fremont to the head of the army, or to the future disposal of that gentleman. The address to the President, as agreed to, was written by Governor Andrew, at the suggestion of the other Goveruore present. No counter proposition or amend n eat to the address was submitted. Governor Bradford, of Maryland, alone, did not sign it, expressing a fear that the President's proclamation might not prove tie ad vantageous as the conference hoped, and regarding the matter too doubtful to j trinity them in taking sides in its . euPport. . There was no dispute nor improper warmth of debate whatever. The conversation was of the most kind, Do. late, and Conciliatory character, and all present were ani mated by a cordial spirit of unity iu the support of the Government and the prosecution of • the war e -the object of the conference being to exptese to the President their sentiment and to offer their 'sapper& to him in the fature• 119 in the past, and to make the relations of all loyal rasa atd States more close, intimate, and firm. All, excepting Governor Bradford, were heartily convinced of the wis dom of the proclamation, and were deairous r: expressing this conviction to the President. In the conference various details relating to the re cruiting, organization, equipment, and transportation of troops were discussed.. The. Governors freely compared notes, and agreed upon varloas points in this connection, which they agreed to submit to the President and Secre tary of War. They did not, however, as to these • mat tore, put anything in writing, because they did not wish to appear dictatorial, believing that friendly verbal sug gestions, in a polite and respectful interview, would give them effect,eo far aa they might be regarded corrector be node's'. The care and removal of the sick and wounded, and the subject of furloughs, etc., attracted a great deal of attention, the object being to produce reforms which all felt to beeneeded, to the end of the happiness of families, the welfare of eoldlere, and the true efficiency of the army; .to parry out which reforms, should the Govern ment adopt them, the States will cheerfully co-dperate. it was unanimously agreed•that furiodhhe should be so regulated as to prevent ftllure Idioms It was also agreed to suggest au army of reserve (titer the quota already celled for disk be filled) of not lees thou' a hundred thousand merino bo drilled end disciplined at borne, and to be calledi o ont in easel of sudden exigericy, at stick points where they may be needed, and to be muttered for twelve months unless sooner discharged. lie interview between the President and the Govern en this afternoon continued for three hears. They all represent it to have been of a pleasant and gratifying character. While plainly intimating their eons len°. in . 21: e p ree id eli v e i n t egr ity and ability, and assuring him of their determination to support him in the discharge of his duties, their recenur.endations partcok of the nature of friendly suggestions. • Some of the subjects, he said, had already received ex ecutive consideration, but as ethers had now for the first time been presented, he requested that they. be reduced to writing, in order that they mighteneDt with She atten tion which their importance demands. The Governors having trammeled their hulloes" with the President, some`of them left the eity this afterspon for their respective homes. • Nsw YORK, Alopt. 26 —There is not the elighteat . foundation in fact for the rumors of. cer,ain Governors eudeavoringto impose upon the Clonvontion at Alteono, and upon the President, action in regard to any general in the field 'or elsewhere, or in regard to other details in the management of the war. e ' • ImportanX Order.

L. THOMAS, Adjutant General. • From the Front. \. The Star 'of this evening bee the following items: Gen. McClellan Mill bad his headquarters near Eiharres burg yesterday, when Sunnier occupied Bolivar Heights, Williams (late Banks' corps) the Maryland Heights, and Burnside's artillery forded the river at Harper's Ferry. The new pontoon bridge was doubtlees liniehed last night, atd we believe Burnelde's infantry crossed upon it Ibis forenoon. Much of the rest of McClellan's army was yesterday in the immediate vicinity of Wit• liarneport. ' Our picket' occupy the country in Virginia three miles out from• Harper's Ferry, where they meet those of the rebels. The latter are believed to bave but an inconsiderable force, mere picket guards, near that poia, and to be in force principally at Wincheeter. It is evident to us tbat there will be a movement on irto- Olellan's part so soon as his army is properly supplied by the Quartermaster's Department, Ac. Our troops are in the best pomlble spirits, and eager again to get at the rebels, who must be eutlering dreadful torments ander the influence of the sharp cold nightsof that region at this 'B6ll£oll, upon their half-clothed-andled bodies. Another week of such nights as they experienced there, doubtless, last Might, will compel them either to attacker move South, it strikes us. General Sigel. In view of the fact that ournerorui of our Gans : it'd frlixds are connlaintng of the recent transfer of some of General PionL'a troops from his command, we have to pay that they cry before they are hurt; insomuch as his foree l doubting now being Increased very heavily.

Among the troops surrendered M Harper's Ferry was Oelone! ➢iinnsar'a regiment. lie was to leave Anna- Polls to• day for Ohleagti;it' being understood that the above troops are to serve against the hostile Sioux of the Northwest. • The Situation over the River. The rebels are still engaged in rebuilding the railroad bridge over the Rappahannock river, and occupy War ;Onion with a single regiment. This is the nearest point 19SWashingtonat which they have a force of that size. en. The fact that they are rebuilding the above men tioned bridge looks as though they eerionely propose to dispute with uithe possession of the country between the Bappabaanock and Potomac, Including the nylon. val.

The t tories of the New York Herald about the recom mendations of the loyal Governors in opposition to Gen. eetn.r.s.N, and support of ERP:310111, made at Altoona, aro flatly contradicted by the Govertthrs -themselves. They say that FnEmores name was not even mentioned fa the meeting. . Commissioner of Pensions The Commissioner of Pensions hss made the following editions' appointmcnts of surgeons under the late act of Clongreas which authorizes their appointment. Their duties are to examine and givo cortifmatee of disability in cases of application for pensions. They are: ' Dr. Damian iticCoos, Pittsburg, Penna. Dr. A. J. Osstrzszna. Lancaster, Pa. Dr. EDWARD IRVIN, liollidayebrig, Pa. The nccersity for these appointments arose from the resdiness of physicians not bound by an oath or any OM cial °Missiles to give applioants . for pensions certifi cates of disability on insufficient grounds. Such care lessness on -.he part of phreiei ens has resulted in enor mous frauds being perpetrated since the establishment of the pension office. . . To blnotrato the nserniness of these. appointments it la only near starY to adduce a single example. A few days agc; thirty-eight applications for pension.s were made ft= a single locality, each one being accompanied by a regu lar physician's certificate of disability. One of the newly appointed surgeon's was sent to investigate these carafe. ax.d two- thirds of them proved not to bo genuine mutes of disability. This, alone, Raves some two thousand dollars annually to the Government. . Arrival of Prisoners. A portion of Gen. Porx's Maws, lately hold as prison . ere at Richmond, have arrived lire. Among them are Gitteral'Panrox and Captain GOULDING of General Porn's staff. 'The remainder of the prisoner' are at An napolis. Complaints of Misrepresentation about the Altoona Convention.

IRON Gni 'UM'S ARMY, BALTIMORB, Sept. 26.—A. special despatch, dated near Sharpitinrg on the 24th, says . : ' Our troops are learning some of the tactics of the enemy, and, since the rebels were driven over the Po to 'nap at this point, have kept them awake by reconnoissances end dashes across the river. Colonel Warren, commanding the brigade at this point, sent over a company of the bth New York, who brought back a fine braes piece. The rebel pickets fell back as our men advanced, and a drummer of the 6:h Regiment, whom Colonel Warren S had sent over as a punishment for nervousness under fire on a previous oc casion, brought the gun over. An attempt way also made to biing eff a caisson, but the rebels rallied and took it Off. . . A. regimtnt was drawn up on tho canal bank during the affair, and elute were exchanged, but without serious retults. Ono man, Bergeint Orowloy, of the 6th, was wounded in the leg. - Yebterday afternoon the 62d Pennsylvania Regiment, Colonel Eiviitzer, with a section of the Ist New York Ar tillery, attached to Griffin's brigade, crossed the river at Reynold 6i Lard, belowiflhepherdstown, and brought over four hundrcd rifles, moat of which are marked !< London, 1882," and one fine 12. pound rifled bran piece, of Eng lish manufacture. The affair was accomplished rapidly, and with entire' success. The rebel pickets fell back as our men ad vanced without rfeist once. end not' even a shot was ex changed. These little affairs have an excellent effect upon the men, and Cheer cheer ins,' as the prize reached this ride, was hearty and enlivening. It appears to be well ascertained that the bulkpf the rebel army still remains along the other branch of the Potomac. Ail cur reconnoissances find them in strong force, and the smoke 'of their camp fires can be seen %wife all the fords. As it is a part of rebel tactics to show meat activity where they have the least force, 'these manifestations are not to be altogether trusted. It must be difficult to feed an army , as large as that of the rebels at a point so far from railroaTcommunicstion. It is probable that a large portion .)f their force h eve fallen hack as far as Winchester. Three or four hundred wounded prisoners left here by the retell, were yesterday paroled and sent across the river under a flag of truce. The flag was also used to agree to a euspension of picket firing, sod the pickets now walk along the opposite banks of air river without molestation or fear.

It was 8160 rumored that the Linooln Government had made a demand on.the constituted authorities of the Con foderncr for the aurrender of, the parties as pritioners of war. This was mere rumor, however. If any such thing as a dentalA was made for them, it was no doubt accompanied by concessions, and snob a disavowal of Pepo's lifsmons proclamation as lifted his less guilty companions and tools out of the difficulty in which they found themselves involved by hie action. It was de termined yesterday that Pope's officers should be sent back.. This announcement will strike the public with surprise, but no doubt the conclusion arrived at was ma . - turely considered.

Eight rebel soldiers were found at Bristow, who had been stationed there to gnatd and assist in loading the debris found among the ruins of the trains destroyed at that place. They were captured and brought down as prleoners. Sixteen freight 'cars wore also found un injured at Manassas, with about half a car load of ammu nition, which had been piled on the ground and covered with canvas. The rebels, it seems, got the idea started by some Union 'prisoners that this was an Infernal ma chine, and so refused to approach It. It was loaded, and with the care, all brought down to Alexandria. NO other troops were discovered in the vicinity. It was ascertained, from good authority, that trains were ,running regularly night and day to Culpap.r, bringinij supplies to the eneiiiy, wl ich were conveyed in wagon(' from that place, by way of Sperryville and Trent Royal, to,Wincheeter.
