`A ease of Impudence
Score forty years ago, a London bookseller,
with a strong political leaning, published a
Oman volume, ebtitled ‘; Anecdotes of Impu
dence," which he dedicated to JOSEPH HUME . ,
s member of Parliament very obnoxious to
the ruling Tory powers of that day, putting a
portrait of }Lunn as frontispiece to the book.
The publication, whichwas racy and amusing,
has long been out of print, and would bear to
be reissued now. We would suggest that it
he dedicated to the riiitor of the London
Times, who. eminently deserves to take rank
as the most impudent man now living—and
tLat is saying a great deal.
Impertinence, impudence, and thorough in
tiolence have been very curiously blended in
the leading articles which The Times has given
t t the world during the last eighteen months,
ti,mn the unlappy Civil War in this country,
which has been caused by, the wicked ambi
t on and treason of leading politicians in the
Nrulbern States. From the first this rebellion
has been backed up, sustained, and sympa
thised With by England. We confess that we
did not expect this, for we were <verdant
enough to believe that England, which has been
professedly anti-slavery (in words, at least)
during the last sixty years, never would stultify
herself before the world by backing up the
South in a war avowedly and undeniably com
menced for the express pui.pose of preserving
the "peculiar institution " of negro slavery
in a large portion of the United States. No
one could have anticipated that England,
which paid one hundred million dollars, in
2834, to exterminate negro slavery in her own
dominions—a vast pecuniary sacrifice worthy
of a`great nation, and a humme principle--
could have practically qua,she I this example
by supportirg the revolted South in 1861-62
in a contest for the express purpose of per
petuating slat cry in this .country. The in-
consistency of this conduct is equalled only
by its wicke.dness.
It was probably expected by England that
the Rebellion, finding the United' States Go
vernment unprepared, would be immediately
successful, arid that, for peace and quietness'
sake, the North would allow tbo outh to de
tach itself from the Union. Such an expecta
tion was not destined to be realiz d, and the
result has been a contest to which, from the
annals of the world, History can produce no
thing at all approaching a parallel. For some
time past, England has suffered greatly, in the
deprivation of cotton and tobacco, for the
support she gave the South. Lancashire, the
seat of the cot' on manufacture in Englitl,
with a populaiion of three millions more'or
less affected by the cessation of labor, is in a
state of starvation, and there are natural ap
prehensions that, when the severity of the
winter shall o ake a climax to this suffering, the
out-of-work-rniserables may disdain the scanty
relief which Charity doles out among them,
end rise en mane to obtain food and clothing ,
and money, by general plunder and robbery.
To prevent this, English politicians are apx
ions to end the war here, by acknowledging
the nationality and independence of ic the so
called Southern Confederacy," which, they
think, would immediately throw vast quanti
ties of cotton into the markets of Europa.
The most impudent article yet published by
The Times, upon this subject, was that which
we reproduCed in The Press yesterday. It
fake's for granted that France and England
must interfere, and without delay, in the Ame
rican struggle, and sap] cc If England and
France will land a hundred thousand men
each, and drive back the Federal armies of in
vasion, it will be well enough." Moreover, it
confesses that the effect of this would be to
make it a war re against the . Britishers," and
no longer against the rebels. •
It is very doubtful whether France can spare
100,000 soldiers to fight the battles of the
South. Narer.r.os has a large army, but has
occasion for every man in it. He could not
spore one-sixth of his whole army to fight for
Slavery and cotton in the South.. it would
be very expensive and most difficult trans
port a hundred thousand French soldiers to
the South, and even admitting that the wane of
transport could be obta4i,ed, it might be found
difficult to land those troops in the South,
in despite of the United States vessels of war
in Southern waters. There is a mighty dif
ference between one or two trading steamers
or clippers slipping in er out of a Southern •
port, en dark nights; and thus running the
blockade, and`a large foreign fleet doing the
same, openly and by wholesale. The attempt
could, not be made without ihe risk of-a conflict
with the United States ships of war, which no
European Power would ilke'to venture.
As regards England the case is worse.: Tire
whole British army, including the militia,con-
Mats of 220,000 men, of all branches of the
service, and these' are se' distributed actiong
the British colonies all over the world, that;
only 40,000 soldiers remain on duty in Great
Britain and Ireland—a force very inadequate
to preserve order in the mother-conntry.
Were there an outbreak in Lancashire, which
is dreaded, it would take the whole 40,000 sol
diers to put it down, and the rest of the coun
try would be left wholly unprotected. We
may be told that the Volunteers aro .in great
force. In England these aro holiday. folks,
who play at soldiering, who devote themselves
to target-shooting, and who have no notion,
except if the country were invaded, of taking
up arms and fighting. Where could England
procure one hundred thousand men to assist
the South? She could not do it. Oae hun
dred thousand men constitute nearly half of
the whole British army. Take away the 40,000
men who now garrison Great Britain and Ire
land, and still 60,000 morn will ba wanted to
make up the lull tale facetiously suggested by
The Times for aid to the South.
The impudence of the Times' suggestion,
which it adopted from a Richmond paper, con
sists in its pointing out, as feasible, what
would be difficult for France to do, and impos
sible for England. So far from being able to
send soldiers to the South, England could not
spare one tenth of the proposed number, were
a new revolt to break out in India.
Lenders of Secession, the advocates of the
disintegrating doctrine of State supremacy,
in the North who, by word and deed, no less
than by the baleful influence of their example,
give aid and comfort to the rebellion. While
these are undoubtidly the most active, per
sistent, and malignant in the dissemination of
their treasonable sentiments, there is another
class of men, equally as large, much more: to
be feared as enemies, because not openly ar
rayed against the Union, and much more in
fluential in their private cliques—a class who,
althorteh trtfy loyal in every intent, are never
theless unwittingly and imidiously smoothing
down the dying pillow of the rebellion, and
wiping the death-damp from its clammy brow.
They may not brawn their >partisanship in bat.
rooms, but they twaddle lukewarm disloyalty
in the rotundos of flrst-class kotels, with the
impartial air of a Solomon, and utter oracular
decisions on war matters, with all the gravity
of Fabian wisdom. They are men who, far as
they are above suspicion as to Motives, are
just as fur above the law. as to overt acts.
Ob ping the letter of the law with Pharisaical
conformity, they just as thoroughly infract its
plainest spirit, and do it conscientiously ccas
between man and man !" Of such mould are
the men, who, in the rich plenitude of their
magnanimity-, seem ever anxious • to admit the
justice of certain threadbare truisms that re
dound to the credit of the enemy. Apparent
ly they derive infinite satisfa.clion from
cc having to confess" that Stonewall JA CIKSON,
for instance, is a leader of consummate ability
and dash; or that tee have-norsueh man, sir!
or that the rebels are most desperate and de
termined, you see ; or that their resources have
been most teo fully underrated; or that the
blockade never has been, and never can be
made effective. or that certain ward-politicians
have received private advices from PALMER.-
S7ON that England Will ceitainly intervene.
Somehow these precious tidbits Of disloyaltY,
though mouthed and salivated, never attain
the dignity of 'digestion, but come up at stated
•
intervals; to be relit d beneath the tongue, as
ends. What -is-the view of these rumen
gentlemen, in persistently making such aa
sions, with an affectation of delefula "
strangely inconsistent with their unctuous ut
ter ante? Somethnes their idiosyncrasy is due to I
sheer mulish obstinacy. Commoe minds sail
with the current, and trust in the Useleeee-e'l
Sara, theo-ritruat-iiiitreeilieMAlrrent, and accept
the perpetuity of the Union as a matter still at
issue: Sometimes their only aim is to build
up a cheap notoriety for supernaturaikeenness
of vision. But most often the design of such
ostentatious candor, in speaking of the enemy,
is to establish a reputation for magnanimity.
'They wish to be classed among the great minds
of the nation. They wish mankind distinctly td
understand, that they take only a cotopreh.en-
SiV6 view of its petty concerns, its quarrels, its
straggles, its wars. According to their notion, it
is Jh e highest exercise of a Magnanimous nature
to search out the excellences of an enemy who
is seeking the destiuction of the best govern
meet on earth, and to scrupulously overlook the
vices that blacken his career, and render him
deteetable the sight of honest men. 'laving
done this, they fancy they bare given to the
World the aublimest example of- liberal-mind
edness that its philosophy can appreciate, and,
therefore, like certain artful orators, bow
gracefully, with their hands upon their hearts,
and await the applause and grand waving of
kerchiefs, that they know will surely follow.
But while such species of magnanimity may
strike the fancy of the thoughtless, or appeal
to the judgment of the superficial thinker, the
jealous patriot must regard it with apprehen
sion, if not with suspicion. It is wrong, and
had better be discarded for the genuine virtue,
in dealing with an enemy who has violated
every pledge, and. legalized every sort of out
rage. It envelopeelis true proportions in a
haze of exaggeration, and conceals his weak
nesses and defects. Disseminated by the
tongue, the pen, and the press, it im
pairs the confidence of our people in
their gigantic strength, shivers their unani
mity into discordant fragments, prompts in
vidious comparisons of the ability and earnest
ness of our military leaders, suggests captious
criticism of their plans, and in a hundred ways
distracts the public mind from the real issues
that demand its attention. It may not always
be the case that such sweeping liberality of
views is the index of a heart in sympathy
with the disunion cause; bat this we can
affirm, that it is very, very often assumed
as a cloak for the utterance of disloyal senti
ments. Whatever be its purpose, it is an enter
lag- wedge and comfort to disaffection, and ap
preciated in its true character, must ever meet
the deprecation of all who love their country
as they bate its enemies. True magnanimity
iejust before it can be generous. It seeks to
ignore no merit of a question that may be pre
sented to it If our enemy is united, aid
energetic and wary, it „does not shut its eyes'
to the fact ; but it never can admit unanimity,
energy, or wariness in extenuation of treachery,
mob-violence and rebellion. It may sometimes
prompt loyalty to temper justice• with le
niency in dealing with the disloyal ; but it nei
ther seeks to palliate the crime by any specious
plea, or assumed success, nor to gloss it over,
with glittering generalities. True magnanimity
is not an abstract quality, diffused through our
moral nature as the nebulm are scattered
through the heavens, but, like the sunlight, is
broad aid contprehensiie in its beneficence.
It is a practical agency for human happiness,
not a philanthropic theory discovered by
social smence congresses, and confined in its
sphere of influence to the musty pages of their
minute books. The nation needs such a mag
nanimous spirit in her councils and among her
people in the present crisis. Its prophetic
vision, piercing the clouds of gloom that had
curtained the skies, descries' a, ,shining star
whose gentle rays shall yet prevail to cheer
the patriotic heart, and illumine the pathway
that our future history shall tread. The assu
rstice of our hope, the mainstay of our
triotism, the incentive of our devotion to the
good cause in the work that onr hands have
found to do, is prechely the comprehensive
spirit in which, the' Union of the States is
founded. This spirit still exists, not in our
;legends and history alone, bat in our institu
tionP, laws, and customs. So let us recollect
'that in fighting.for their preservation we figlat
li r for the only liberal Government that the wig
'; dom of man has ever devised, and we show to
the world that the magnanimous character of
our people has not degenerated with the lapie
of years, but is as bright and exalted to-day
I: as in the darkest petiod of the' Revolution. .

It is a fortunate thing for, a ,qtato whose
elements are in a elia , otie condition to have
some circntostance. occur which shall in

ing and the recuperative energies at work in
its midst. Such a touchstone hai .been lately
made in
. the action of the States, through
their GoVernors, towards the .p..citninistration :
it has revealed at once the tendency of loyal
concession and of traitorous in subordination.
First, there is •to be remarked the great
unanimity that pervaded all the actions of the
Convention at 2.ltoona---a unanimity that is
very significant _ ae well ae gratifying and stir
pris'ng. i. • '
Here were men wbeheld the most august po
sitions in their respective States. They did
not come as individuals; and dared not act, in
their private capacities ; they were pledged
to their constituents, and knew the sharp re
sponsibility to which they would be , held.
They were, therefore, representative :men—
representative in the widest sense of the term ;
not chosen by particular sections of States,
nor appointed by Legislatures to conciliate
rival interests ; not, indeed, appointed to fill
any merely legislative function at all. They
were invested solely with executive power,
and were thus the embodiments of State au
thority. Carrying this dignity with them, they
assemb'ed from all parts of the conntry—even
Virginia being present through Governor
FIF.RPONT-RTA if there had been the faintest
spirit of discord among them, it would have
found room for and almost justification of its
expression, where so many conflicting interests
were endeavoring to harmonize. But the
great common danger eliminated every ele
ment of schism or intrigue, and everything
that was done received a unanimous sanction.
But, further let it be retnembered, that

such unity of purpose to our operations
as Slave-Tyranny gives to those of the South.
The' corollary is evident: Whatever State,
combination, party,, or single person fails to
give in his allegiance'on this point, basing his
resistance either on technical legal quibble or
broader political law, fails in his whole duty
as a loyal citizen, and, by thwarting the great
flow of the people's w.ll, is doing his utmost to
impede those functions of the Governmoi
which the popular voice, at least, has decreed
to belong to the Executive at this crisis.
What shall be said, then, of the infamous
libel made on this Convention by that New
'York journal whose vile, semi-secession fabri
cations and vituperations aro the standing dis
grace of the American press, and repeated by
moreinsignificant sheets of like ilk in t!)is city ?
Only this: that as the action of the Conven
tion revealed the tendencies of the States' opin
ion in regard to our best chance of preserva
tion, so the action of these journals as definite
ly reveals the purpose of our half-spoken trai
tors to ruin that chance. They stand, at last,

We deem it necessary to inform the public
that every effort is making at Washington to
supply the commercial community with the
rostago - currency at the earliest opportunity.
The strongest possible force is employed in
its manufacture, and we have no doubt that
the wants of the public will soon meet with
prompt attention.. The disbursements to the

all the notes prepared for circulation.
LETTER FROM ,‘ OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29, 1862.
lion. John A. Mcdlernand, of Illinois, who
has been onsa visit to Washington for several
days past, and whose splendid campaign in the
Southwest since his appointment as Brigadier
General by President Lincoln, has secured him

a lingering precess, but lik`short, stern; and
crushing blows. In this spirit he accepts
the emancipation proclamation of . tic: Prasi

At a moment when too - many men call.

house
of the rebeisthe institution of slave'rY
in the seceded States---ktfeli - a statesman' as
General IticOlernand preients an example
worthy of honor and imitation. General hic-
Clernand is an old-school Democrat, one of
the Southern typo of Northern men, and yet
ho does not falter or fall back. lie is a sol
dier, too—one who does not conceive it to
be apart of bis.duty to cavil when the Ad=
ministration decides to protect and preserve
the Government at all hazarJs. The great
drawback in the prosecution of the war is the
habit of many, in and out of the army, in
office and out of office, who think they are
loyal, and yet who cannot rid themselves
of the prejudices of party or of social life.
Insensibly, such people accustom themselves
to indifference to the great crime of the re
hellion, and to a habit of criticising what they
think the errors of the Administration. I
hold it as a fact that in all my experience I
have never yet known to be - successfully con
tradicted, that whenever a statesman or a
soldier allows himself to chaff against c:Black
Republicanism and Abolitionism," ho gene
rally,•and at last, cornea to consider Secession
as a moderate offence, that may be readily,
excused and easily defended. The dis
ease that afflicts this people requires se
vere treatment, or it will
_master., and
murder the Republic. I would not ad
vise hasty remedies; but I would resort to
any and to all to save the Republic. And I
thither hold-it to be the religions duty of the
loyal people, and of all their servants, to act
up to this profound obligation. Certainly the
moderate or conservative loyalists I cannot
object to let decided measures have a fair
trial, and especially since all 'moderate or
conservative alternatives have wholly and dis
astrously failed.
The President having tested these alterna
tives, has at last come to the other and more
ont.and.oht policy. As he took his own good
limo in reaching this policy, (and I have
never blamed him for his patience and fltr
bearance,) I am not surprised to hear that ho
Eau fully resolved that those who hold posi
tion under his Administration, of whatever
grade, shall give it the benefit of a determined
and thorough support. He has a right to de
mand this at their hands, and I am glad to add
that, up to this writing, very few indications
of hostility have been discovered on the part
of any of the men who profess to desire the
speedy overthroW of the rebellion.

some time since we have seen her in these charm.
tem and the change was very pleasant to those
who knew her first as an " Infant Phenomenon,"
and welcomed her last evening in the womanly part
of Alias.
MIN Bateman is not what we would call a beauti
ful woman, for the term does not express the idea
she creates in the minds of those who see her.
Neither has she the intense earnestness of Miss Da
venport, nor the rugged genius of Mrs. Waller, nor
the incomparable grace of Miss Coombs, nor the
uneven and spasmodic beauties of Miss Heron, nor
• the versatility and brilliancy which have made
Mrs. John Drew one of the most acoeptable ac
tresses on the stage. Miss Bateman has an eye
full of fire and meaning, deep and expressive.. Her
t face is Grecian in the outlines, and, when in repose,
!presents a singularly quaint and classic expression.
The ancient artist would have welcomed such a
model for his Mit erva, and many a harsher faoe
has been enshrined and worshipped in the secret
chambers of the Temple of Vests. We have no
• objection to a pretty face, but we prefer an expres
sive one, with lines and dimples, and individuality;
and we have seen none that comes so near. this
conception as Miss Bateman's.

Miss Batemen'es power- stud:position o o an , aaress.
Tbere ist,a stork recorded bi some woit, we de not

when art was the passion and the paithme of princes
-
Ind noblemen. A sculptor select.' a block of the
purest marble, sad began to chisel it into the out-
lines of a beautiful woman. All ti t , l e wealth of his
powerful imagination; all the experience of
weary-and tedious years; all the't:raditions and
precepts that came to him in tie remnants of
Grecian and Boman art,
in
. the Vl i ns de Medici
and the Apollo Belvidere—wore be wed upon his
labor.' .
It was his masterpieee ; from year to
year he went on refining, reform' ~ correcting,
and bringing the marble image nea to perfection.
The enthusiasm of art deepened in a holler feel
ing ; and, from daily e 0121) • Vwith..-his
beautiful creation, be began telentertain the
enthusiasm of a lover. He had ,fin ed the mis
tress to -whom boa life would be devfed. All that
was perfect in human loveliness as expressed in
the outlines of her form ; all thatas noble and
t v
sweet in human character bea forth in her
placid marble face. The crest was t o hi m a
reality. .-/le fondled, caressed, a protected it,
but the lips were forever cold, no yearning
heart beat responsive to his own..' hen he prayed
to the gods that life might be b wed upon his
*a
beloved, but the stern arbiters of to and happi
ness would not grant his prayer, ho closed his
days in earnest and unrewarded ation.
- Miss Bateman is the boauti image of our
drama—exquivite in all the acco hmeuts of an
actress, graceful, self-possessed, a oorreet—em
bodying the results of many years study and ex
perience. .But all is very cold an acid, and we
'felt ourselves wishing last eveni at the gods
would only give her life, that we in see nature in
her tones, in her looks, in her u rea. We do
not think Julia, was ever more o Uy performed
than on last evening. It was artily faultless;
but the soul was wanting. In oene was this
more obvious than when Miss B an, as Julia,
and Mrs. Drew, as //e/en, wer ether on the
stage. Even beyond the neoe . distinction of
the characters, we could see lif (1 soul anima

The - headquarters of Gen. McMillan were removed
yesterday to a point three miles nearer Harper's Ferry.
This movement may mean something, or it have
been made merely for convenience sake. At any rate, it
is regarded hero with some isterest
Fat per's Ferry le now bald in large force by our
troops, and is evidently regarded ea en important point
in the popitionof the Army of the Potomac.
Of the othermovementeof troops taking place, I shalt
say nothing. Burnside's division has not gone to Har
per's Ferry. I may say, however, that all the indica
tioes here bespeak renewed activity on the part of the
army.
The rebel Eiacounte of the late battles create some
disgust, bat more amusemeLt., among the officers and
soldiers of the Army of the Potomac) who won the
victorlee at bon% Mountain and Antietam. They
admit the stern resistance and earnest bravery of their
tmtagobiste, bit the solid results of the light were
too decidedly with us to occasion them any trouble over
the vaporinge of the liicbmond'Dispatch and Whig.
A ride from the centre of the Army of the Potomac to
its right wing at Williamsport, gives one an impressive
ides of the immense number of men and prodigious ag
gregations of material therkbeve been brought together.
For thirteen miles the ere never loses sight of camps.
At Williamsport there have been no active oserations
en either tide. The Tete is continue to picket the Virginia
side ot the river, wbilet eur troops do the same on this
tide. At a -general thiug, there, as elsewhere on the
river, there Is no firing between the pickets, both sides,
by mutual ccneent, abandoning this useless and murder...
one practice.
When in Hagerstown, a few days since, I gave ilist
of some of the distinguished rebels who recorded their
names at the Washington House, Among these was
Dr. McLaughlin, of Bradley Johnson's staff. . This
same individual, aiew days Anne, crossed the river and
gave himself up to the pickets of the Bth Maryland
Regiment.
He stated that he wee utterly tired of the rebel ser
vice, and would sooner be in Fort McHenry theft with
their army in Virginia. McLaughlin is a Marylander,
and, I believe, formerly resided at ICllicott's Mlile. He

• Early this morning a large force of cavalry crossed the
Potomac at Blackburn's ford, and moved off towards
Sheyherdstown. They have not returned when I Mose
tibte letter.
. Our ecoute vhdt Eihephendetown frequently- by day,
why° the rebel cavalry still come there at night, the
pltice being held by neither party. A number of the
rebel wounded are there. At Shiphertletown ferry, on
thie tide of the Potcmac, there are over two hundred
NionLdtd rebel prisoners, who aro guarded by the 91st
PenLeylvemia Regimen; and are under the care of three
rebel surgeons.
They have every thing done for them that is possible,
no service that is desired being refused by our entgeons
or officers. But the hospital is a terrible place. The
men are of the desperateli-wounded class, who could not
be moved further, and there is scarcely one among them
who ban not lost an arm or a leg, or is not otherwise mu
tilated. Our men mingle freely with them, and are
prompt and untiring in their willingness to aid thorn is
any way that can.give relief or comfort.
Harper's Ferry, which I reached this noon, from
Strasburg, is now the centre of important movements.
A firmly-constructek pontoon bridge airoady creme
the river, and tbo reconet-uction of the railroad bridge
is being - imbed forward with all the expedition that can
be gained by the employment uY a large force of me
chanics, under the direction of the railroad company.
The
.completion of this bridge has an important con
nection rich the movement of the army, as it would bo
impossible for it to move far into Virginia without a com
pleted lime of railway communication with its base of sup
plies. It would be an easy thing to march our men, who
ere now rested and in fine condition, to Winchester or
Martinsburg ; hut it would not be so easy, to feed them
after they were there. When the bridgeis completed and
the . railroad can be brought into use as the army ad
vances, we shall see active operations resumed ; and that
time is not very distant.
Our advance is four or five miles out, and a rebel force,
co mposed of two brigades of Louisiana and North Caro
linatroopa, are in our immediate front, and show a disio-
Wien to contest our further advance.
A spirited cavalry and artillery skirmish took place
- this morning, in which our men did well, and drove the
rebels some distance. A cavalry officer and a'squadron
of men wore captured in a house which was surrounded
by our troops, and the officer was brought into Harper's
Ferry, but I did not learn his name.
lbere are reports that the rebel army are fortifying
both Winchester and Martinsburg, but they are not ge
nerally credited in military circles. A sudden rebel dash
orr,(Akeriand is regarded as more probable, and mea
sures hive been taken to checkmate any such movement.

The London TIME cart estly dencances the yeller of
the Abolitionlets of the North in seeking to raise the
negroes of the South against their masters, it says that
the idea of the Abolitionists is to organise a series of

but it thinks they will not be socceesful in the attempt.

ThelTattle of Intro
Tim CinoltiratFellittSligo gives the following details of
the engagemeneat to between Roitecrans and Price:
'Oar force wee 26,000etrong, and fell upon Price as he
was retreethik'frPM /Oka, about a mile southeast of that
place. Immediately the battle commenced to dead ear
nest. The rebels formed on a road on a ridge, a line
lees then a quarter of a mlle in length, and this was the
whble extent of the bsttle.sround. A. single brigiare of
General BON:(211Xle division bore the brunt of the whole
fight. The Bret movement was to dislodge the rebels
from their position by a cheese, nhi it was no sooner
done than they rallied and drove back our men in a si
milar n. miner, only to be driven in turn by our deter
mined troops. 4,
Our troots rested near the battle.grenrd till morning,
when tboy Laud that Price Lad fled, leaving all his
deed and wounded. The rebel. kiss in killed and
wounded was not lees theatre hundred, fully throe hun
dred of whom were killed. Our own loss we, one hun
dred and twenty killed, and abent two bundled
wounded. All this, too. was done in an hour and a half,
and very much of it with the bayonet. It was almost
entirely a baud-to-hand engagement
. On Friday evening, while the belle was raging, the
advanced portion of our Jett wing was quietly going into
camp, live miles distant, unconscious of a battle. They
could not boar the musketry, and the cannonading was
either very lucoisiderable, or none at all, so close were
the contending armies. On Saturday morning they
formed in line of battle and gent forward skirmishers,
who captured acme of Price's pickets who had not been
called In. About the setae time the reserve-81st Ohio
and 2d lowa—were ordered forward. Long before these
regiments reached the front the left wing had discovered
that no enemy was in its front, and bad moved on to
wards Inks. Beaching there it was turned about to
ward Corinth, meeting the reserve a mile ont. The
whale force returned to Bs ineville that night.
It is said that General Ord urged that the left wing
should take up position nearer, at any rate, bat General
Grant overruled him, assuring him that very icon we
could advance, and completely surround Price. In the
meantime the gallant Bosecraus, with hie eager army,
was using all diligence, and had actually marched- twenty
miles on Friday before he came up with the enemy, and
fought with eo much gallantry. As ft is, it appears, that
only want of planer knowledge of itonecrans , position
preven , ed the co-operation of the r. st of the troops.
which would have insured the glorious c , insummation of
the capture of Sterling Price.
General Beaconing started in pursuit on Saturday,
with a large for co of cavalry and some light artillery,
followed by infantry. Price is supposed to be retreating
to Booneville . , whence he came by tett from Tupelo. It
is a coincidence a little remarkable that the same troops
wkich'a year ago followed Price' in Missouri aro now
after him here.
General Grant has issued the following congratula
tory order :
BEAT QUARTERS DISTRICT OF WEST TENNESSEE,
Conirrn, Miss Eeptemb• r 20, 185.
The general colamanding takes pleasure in congratula•
tang the two whip, of the army, commanded respectively
by Major General Ord and Major General Roseorane,
upon the etertry, alacrity, and °revery displayed by
them on the 19th and 20th inst., in their movement
against the enemy at luka.
Although the enemy was in numbers reputed far
greeter teen their own, nothing was evinced by the
'Livens but a bunting desire to meet him, whatever hie
numbers; and however strorg his position.
With such a disposition as was manifested by the
troops on this occasion, their commanders need never
fear d. feat against anything bnt overwhelming numbers.
While it woe the fortune of the command of General
Boseerans, on the evening of the 19th instant; to engage
the enemy in a most spirited fight for more than two
hours, driving him, with great loss. from his position,
ard winning for themselves freet, laurels, the command
of General °idle entitled to equal creeit for their ef
forts in trying to reach the enemy and in diverting hie
attention.
And NI bile cengratolating tl3e noble living, it is matt
to offer our condolence to the Mende of the heroic dead,
übo offered their lives a sacrifice in defetce of consti
tutional liberty, and in their fai rendered memorable the
field of luka
n) command of Major General U. G Grant.

- INGTHXR .140 T AT EGGIASPIELD
SEVERAL PERSONS BADLY BEATEN.—Yestreday,
aimtbeidiegraceltd"riot occurred at Eggiesßeld, during
wild' several persons were badly' beaten, one of whom
will probably die from the effects of his injuries, which
are of the meat serious character. It seems teat fiancee-
Bye s Beadsmen and Lemon bad a warrant for the ar
rest of certain well-known parties, charged with being
implicated in a heavy robbery. These partimi are in the
habit of frequenting Egeleelield, and the detectives went
there with a view of making the arrest. They succeeded
in taking into outroody the following named persons:
Charles Sheerer, Robert McVey, Al. Ennis, Peter San
ford, and William Wilma, who were safely secured.
During the abeence of the officers a row occurred, and a
man, whose name we could not ascertain, was beaten in
a m shockietrand brutal manner, so'much so that his
recovery is don hired. The detectives returned to the
sate, sod, seeing the man lying h, Iplessly on the floor,
attempted to arrest the ringleaarrs of the th. ht. One man
was stewed, and while being convey ed away, the crowd
rushed on the officers end ~ttempted t > rescue the primer.
In this they succeeded, beside,' badly beating Dot:mite'
Henderson and Officer Franks, employed at Rule:field.
Two of the rescuers were then taken into custody, and
finally, after much difficulty, locked up. The rest of the
ruffians succeeded iu making their escape. The officers
would, in all probability, have been tiled-had tt not
been for the timely interference of some citizens The
gang who committed this outrage were the notorious
crowd of thieves and murderers known as the
Spickete," and whose depredations are familiar to
every ono. During the pregreesef the fight every availa
ble chair and table-leg in the hotel was made use of.
pistols, bled. •Jacks, &c , were also flourished.
Unfortunately, nonel..of the officers had any weapons
about them to protect themselves.

iiBP, Of D Allento en, h who
is known by his votes in the last Congress. The loyal
DI ulcerate and Uoion mon of ail parties have placed in
eppoeition to Mr. Stiles the Hon. David Krause, of Nor
rittown. Judge Krause Is one of the tiniest lawyers in
Pennsylvania i• be.was for a number of years president
judge of the courts of Bucks and Montgomery counties.
and has always been, through a long and brilliant carver,
a sound, unswerving, loyal Jackson Democrat. In the
last Presidential campaign be took the stomp for Dan -
OA, sud was elconent and earnest in hii appeals for the
gauss of the Litcle Giant.
Judge Krause is now about sixty-five years of age -, is
still in the prime and vigor of activemanhood, end when
oev Curtin ctiled on the miatia of Pennsylvania to
voltnteer for the defence of the ctate, he was first among
the hundreds - Of our town to shoulder his knopieck and
take his place in the ranks as a common soldier. And
he went as a pirate, that old mani his form bent for

No better nomination for Congress has ham made in

GENERAL LANE AND THE FRIENDLY INDIANS.
General Lane has bad an Intereiew at his headquar
ters with a deputation from the northern tribes of
friendly Indians, who desire to fight for the Govern
ment. Ar-ka.ke-to, chief of the Oboes, acted as spokes
man, and described the feelings of the tribes represented
toward the GoverornPnt to be of the most friendly
character. general Lane said that General Pope had
been . sent to Minnesota with a large number of white
troops to whip out the wild Indians of the. Northwest.
Ile thought the tribes represented by this deputation
would be received into the service and allowed to aid in
that work, and then be employed as Government might
direct against the rebellion. Ile promised to fareish
them with what arms could be spared, a supply of am
munition and equipments, and consult with the Adminie
tratlon at, to further movements.
