A Letter from rarson Brownlow.
r. DETROIT, BOA 27F1862
To the Editor of The Press
. •
Sin': Michigan, though a new State, is a great State,
and Detroit ls a city of no mean distinction. The animal
State Agriculthral Fair closed yesterday, after a. con-'
tintance of tour days, of most lovely weather. The
manusers and citizens state•that the result has been moat
satisfaitiny in every respect. The attentionon contrary,
to expectation, and in the midst of thls terrible war, was
greater than it ever has F Veen. The receipts will foot up
more than 581,000, and, for the * first time in twelve
years, the society is WIT or DBBT., The, tickets; or ,ad
mission were twenty-tire cents, and the fair was, largely
patronized, the citizens toeliing in from ail parts of the
State, l and dlspia)hig a spirit of emulation, and a taste
for the pursuits_ of agricutture and the mechanic arts,
beyond what It ad .expected to find anywhere in these
war times. -.
In listening to the address of the - president, J. B.
OriPP4ll who Introduced me to „
the' audience, I learned,
to MY astonishment, that the population of the State had
been clpubled in the last ten years, and that its Preclude
had been more than doubled. In 1860 the t3tate pro
duced 4,000 000 pounds of .wool and 11,090,000 bushels or
wbeitigmd the prodUcts of both are annually increasing.
According to announcement, I addressed the people
from the .atand at three o'clock delivering what was
called the annual address, but in reality, what I con
sidervi.ra stump speech. I briefly spoke of the abundant
crops, of our great and,glorions country, its productive
soil, and of our improvements in the mechanic arts—of
ouronr agricultural and manufacturing pursuits, and armload
upon`the audience the fact that such a country is worth
fighting fer
The opinion of the officer's of the Society was, that as
many.aajtfteett thousand personi around the stand dia.'
tit:idly heard what I said, in an addriss of •rnore than an
hour's large, though .there was a greater numher than
that within the enclooure, many thousands of whom
were aftoo gt eat a distance to hear all that was said. I
prepense to give the principal points I made in my speech,
not that say sayings have any particular merit attached
to them, but after giving them, I will assign my reason
for doing ad.
L After dwelling for a short time upon the subject of
' agriculture, and the praiseworthy objects of the Society,
I stated that on such occasions it had been customary to
have an annual address, in Mu:niter, to partake of the
nature, and objects of the organization, but on this *con
stop I ,would speak ef what ./ knew to be first 'in the
minds and hearts of the. people—this wicked Rebeition.
The audience', with one voice; cried out, 4 i That's what
we want to hear—speak about the War."
2. I showed up the hollow•hearted course of England
towards us, in this rebellinn, and called upon her British
Majesty's subjects who were in the audience, having
come cater the Detroit river, from the Canada shore, to
tell their Queen and her advisers from me, to mind their
own business, and let ours alone! I assured them that
when we came out of this rebellion, we would come out
vi deems; and bring with us a half a million of veteran
troom well armed and equipped, who would sooner give
old England A turn than not, and that I was in favor of
it, as I felt confident that a majority of the American
people were. •
3. I gave a brief history of the rebellion, and showed
that it was the work of Southern Disunionlate, Who were
tired of a republican form of Government—enraged at
the lose of power and - mins, and' had determined to
break up the Government. I maintained that Brealda
ridge was nominated with a view to destroy the Govern
ment, and that, if he had been elected, he would have
been used for that purpose. •
4. I asserted that when the rebey ion was inaugurated
we bad no President, but that the chair was disgraced
by a miserable old mockery of a man from Pennsylvania;
that Floyd, Thompson, and Cobb, of his Cabinet, were
thieves, working to promote Secession, and that the Pre
sident knew it!
b. T am aware, said I, that .my views are dolled
upon the subject of the late emancipation proclamation
of, the President, about which there is quite
.a sensatien
on this ground. lam a pria•alavery man, and a true
Southerner, by birth, raising, and education. -.I have de
fended the "peculiar institution" ever since I have de
fended any measure, and I am here what I am Nihon I
am in the South, having nothing to disguise. If the
policy of the President le, as I understand it to be, to
.free the slaves of rehabs in arms, and to compensate loyal
men for theirs, I am with him—allowing, as does the
proclamation, all rebellions States three months to come
back in, and thus accure their slaves. The measure in
useless in the revolted States; it can't be enforced, be
canoe the. moat simple post office law can't be enforced.
I think the measure useless, as Ido much of the legis
lation of the last Congress, but it will Quiet the Glow.
eclencespf that class of radiosl men among you who are
ifilloted l bwith that incurable disease I call " nigger on
the brain." The only point in the whole thing is this
The rebels intended, when pressed to the wail, as they
:will be, to issue a proclamation freeing all the negroes
themselves, as a Isit desperate means of inducing "Eng.
hind to acjcnowledge their independence. This done,
they would have placed the United Btatee Government
in the false. attitude 'of lighting to perpetuate slivery.
And all there is of the matter is simply this : Mr. Lin
coln has taken the start of -Jeff Davie
8 lam for standing by the Government, the army and
navy, and backing them rp, as the means of putting down
this rebellion. The Administiation will commit errors,
and ban done eo and when . had we an Administration
that did not?' Let us diatlnguish between the President
and the Government, and cling to the latter as long . as
life clings to no.
Theme are thepoints substantially whit* I made, and
I never delivered any sentiments in my life, before any
crowd,, .that were more heartily and enemata/Weeny
cheered by an audience.--I was :not, however, more
glatilled at being so unanimously approved by so large
an audience than I wts to have the venerable Gen. Can
rise up and endorse my sentiments to the full extent the
audience did. 'I copy from the Detroit 'Advertiser the
remark's of (1.41. Gan, which are very correctly reported :

the cry was Gen: Case l'Gen. OEMs !" He stepped for

knapsack for its de ence. tome of us had only two or
three _bourn' notice. Qnr brothers and our friends had

days' rations, for two hours be - ore receivic g orders-to
move. By this time many a weak shoulder ached, and
many a sigh was beard, from the'Weittht of the titan

but all tried to - beer it manfully, having determined' to
or endure suffering as good soldiers," , ..and knowing that
it was all for the good of the land tha ; bore them.
-The regiment was formed on the grounds or the West
Philadelphia Institute, and at about,7%, P. M., much to
our relief, the order to " march" was given. We reached
Id arket•street bridge; expecting to halt there, bat, to our
great surprise and fatigue, were marched on over the
bridge, down,Market street to Broad street, down Broad
to the depot, at Prime-street. All this time we were
wrapped in mystery. ,Variousspeculations worn entered
into as to where we were - going, but none could decide.
Some said we were going to Ohamberetburg via Baltimore;
,others that we were to go ,direct to Wathington ;. and
some few were really ad fearful that we would not stop
until we reached Richmond that they at once broke racks
and went tidal; on a double quick. Tired and weary

were-given, and in a few moments more we were marched;
to the. cars. We did not end. first or "Boon& class oars

screamed the engine, and we were off at lightning-speed'
for Wilmington. We arrived there eat about ono P. M.
inn thick, drizzling rain. After being .informed by our
officer*, in .5-very mysterions way, that perfect silence
was really very;importent, and essential to the snootier or
our errand,-we left the cars, and were marched up into
Wilmington. 'After standing about, holm in the rain,
(some of the more fortnnate securin a place for a short
nap on the pavement,) we were . dfavin into line, tarnish
ed with ten rounds or cartridges, and ordered to load our
pieces: ,At , about. hair .past three Wedueslay,

made up , our minds , that it was.certainly a most meted
oils Weir, altogether , to -us poor . privates. Fatigue, loss
of supper and sleep, made each mile seem like ten. 110W
ever,,after marching - about five miles from the railroad
depot. we halted at an old tavern, and there remained
until about eight o'clock.
The rain continued to fall, but, regardless of that, the'"
men threw themselves down on the ground, and most of
%tem slept two or three hours with a will. Your humble
con essondent, more fortunate than others, discovered
that, by creeping through two stone walls, a stable could
be reached large enough to accommodate three with shel
ter, though the floor being hard earth, was not so soft' as
the grew. The stable was, however, preferred, and tell
,initwo chums of the discovery, we reached the stable,
and falling on the floor, we 4 snoozed- luxuriously until
alter sunrine. At 8 .o'cloCk we retraced about two
miles of our march, and qtrartered ourselves on the
,grounds of the New Castle- County Agricultural Society.
There we found' comfortable sheds, originally. (fronted to
show off prize oxen, sheep, horses, /cc , and i.hooldng
menet ) , at, once proceeded to occupy them, and make.
theta: as comfortable as we could Straw was furnished
my, and tearing a shed to pieces for flooring, we managed
to make eurselves really comfortable and airy resting
places. Although the fronts were open, we were not
afraid of freak air, as long as we had good overcoats and
blankets. Five to seven men were in each bunk or shed,
and sleeping obliquely and close together, We managed
to rest very finely indeed. There we remained, drl,ling
and =going through regular camp duties until Friday
morning, when we again marched, and occupied our pre
sent encampment, which is on a beautiful hill, within
sight of Messrs. Duponts' powder mine- When we en
ternd the field it did not look very inviting when coin
pared with our good quarters at the fair grounds, but
after lasing the ground out into streets, and erecting our!
tents, it looked more comfortable; and here we have
been ever since.
Our boys have foraged for cedar trees, ' and doe may be
found by the aide of.almoot every tent, thus making our.
Oreille took more be Waal and cheerful, and more shady. '
Arid to those who are unused to camp lifelet me say that
we cook, eat, wash, sleep, and in fact, do.. eland every
thing on tbe ground. We have no
of
- floors here as
we had in our first came, bra a bed of draw and blankets
keeps us very warm. Hardly a case of eickniaa ruts tte-
Inured since we left bome. Many who were then sick are
now in perfect health We undergo the discipline and
duties of a regular camp,, and are trying to make our
solves well drilled and hardy soldiere Our ,camp is con
tinually guarded by 48 men, besides a iegular•picket
guard, night and day. Very few, if any, disturbances
have occurred, nd Only two or three cases of drunkenness
have been known, oo you see we are very orderly. We
have no religious services in tamp, we are sorry to say,
but there are five churches in the neighborhood open to
all who wish' to attend service there.' Our rations, for
soldiers, are very fine. We get good coffee every day,
as well as fresh meat and soft bread. All the boys would
be contented on that.score were it not that we

clothes sand our own (Bohm !dairy of us, too, have
become quite expert in the tailorieg line, sine' should our
dear mothers and precious .wives and good slaters be
called to defend their country, we think we could manage
to get along for a while. -But it would go hard indeed to
see - no sign of any of these dear feces for a long time,
except a first-class carte de visite•very hard i•
Six companies of our regiment are here at present, in
all about 450 to 500 men. Our regimental officers are
all well-known in Philadelphia circles, viz; Colonel
0. M. Eakin, Lieutenant Colonel Poynter, Major Wm.
'M. Grainer, Quartermaster N. B. Browne, Adjutant
Clarence IL Clark. Surgeon George I. McLeod, Assistant
Surgeon A.' L. Eakin—all gentlemanlyand ecient
officers. • - • ffi
Our captains are as Sue a body of men, as one could
wish. Co. A, Captain Jobe J. Leak, a well.dri led sol
diti and a gentleman. Co. B, Captain B. Andrews.
Knight—no finer gentleman in the regiment. He is be.
loved by, every man hi his company, and when walking'
with his men their hearts bunt with an affection for him
equal to a brother's. He is as gentle and as kind to his
loWeit Titivate as they could wish bias_ to be, and often
says to. them, g. Boys; if there is anything you want, let
me know." A good officer, and well beloved, is Captain
Bright, of Co. B. Co. 0, Captain J. D Sorver—s tine
little gentleman, good to hie men and every one. Co.
F, Captain 13. F. Harvey—one of the boat soldiers in the
field, haiing been seven years in the regular army. Co.
F, Captain Thomas ID. Groves—one of Philadelphia's
master mechanics, ,and a good and generous officer. Co.
0, Captain George West Biske—a modest, unassuming
man, and good soldier. I could go on and say muoh
for many of our non-commissioned, officers, but I fear I
shall tire you.
You are already aware that our ostensible errand here
is to guard the powder mills of the Hems. Dupont. Be
fore we left home it was intimated to Gan. Halleck that
bands of disguised guerillas were prowling about the
country arour d here trying to Clow up the powder
He at once telegraphed to Gov. Curtin to kno w if be
could spare a regiment for that special service, and we
have the honor of being detailed theronnto. Several im
portant sweats have been made by our picket!' We are
well guarded, and pickets are patrolling day and night.
Picket-duty is eagerly sought after by the men. A stroll
along and about the Brandywine is always ploaaaat,
even at midnight, though sometimes the body beoomea
'so tired that a nap on a big, fiat stone, after being re
lieved from duty, is a grand luxury. It is astonishing
what en appetite soldier—life gives a man for food and for
sleep. Be can eat what be wdttld spurn at home, and
sleep where he would dread to lie down on ordinary oc
casions. There Is something real in being a soldier. It
not only gives a man an appetite, but his mind is free
from business care; and a consciousness that hats eery
kig God and his country, by sacrificing many privileges
and pleasures makes him contented and happy.
' We have not undergone as many hardships as our first
regiment, but our duties have been very important and
useful. We were all disappointed at not being sent to
Barrlsburg, still we console ourselves with the fact that
we have fulfilled an important mission, and can go home
feeling that we have done come good. We were all fur
nished with now uniforms last week, and on "dross parade
present a very fine appearance. When arriving on the
ground some of our men were actually ragged, and almost,
barefobted. Company B is the crack company of the
regiment It ie composed principally of gentlemen from
West Plidladelphia, armed with Share's patent rifles, and
sabre bayonets. There aro gentlemen in that company
aotirg as "high privates," who are worth comfortable
fortunes. Besides being rich in a pecuniary way, nearly
everyinember apriogs from a good family, and is a gen
tleman in every way.. They are not too proud to defend
their State, even ae•privatet Over at the " kitchen"
(a hole dog in the ground for a fire) I see a Market
etre et grocer, red-faced and perspiring, with a long-hatt •
died fry pan, cooking moat for his mess. In another di
rectlon a young business man from Arch street, washing
dishes, and a third—a gentleman of leisure—making
straw-beds, and doing other chamber work. All these du
ties are peilormed with the utmost hatmony and dignity,
and with as much precision and order as battalion drill.
It effordeine a great deal of enjoyment, and many pleasant
jokes daily go the rounds of thecempany. We have had
unnsually.flne weather, generally, Mace we have been in
camp, for which we are very grateful. At this writing,
we expect to go bore on Monday. The Governor has
already ordered us home, but, having been detailed for
Government service, we are hindered a little by that
groat institution, "red tape." The probability Is, how
ever, that we will go on that day. We shall ever remem
ber our service here as a pleasant one ; and, were it not
for the dear once at home, whom we so badly want to
see, and for business which.is being sadly neglected, wo
would regret leaving hero very much, indeed, for a few
weeks yet. But home is sweet, and badness must be
attended to, so we are eager to get back, if our services
are no longer required. We have aregimental band with
us, which adds much to the cheerfalness of the camp. A.
really unpleasant drizzle bas been felling all day, so we
are obliged to stay in our tante, or get wet. This makes
us wish still more for home. I hope it will not be long
before I shall have the pleasure of shaking yOur hand and
talking to you in person. I hope I have not, tired you,
and will close by saying, that if the 3d Regiment Beeerve
Brigade is again needed to serve State or Government in
any erergency,they will again willingly shoulder arms
and forward to duty !

The Surrender of Harper's Ferry—Who
Was Responsible
The Washington correspondent of the New York'
bune rashes the following statements :
The writer of this was present at a conversation be-.
tween Colonel Miles and Colonel Ford, on the occasion of
a visit by Colonel Mites to the battery and camps
Maryland Height . At that • time an attack was axe: .
petted the next day. Colonel Miles spoke of the etrengtii".
and importance of the position, and told Colonel Ford..
that be expected him to bold it to the last extremity, to
which end such reinforcements ae were 'necessary' should
be sent him, and all assistance rendered that the exigen
cies of the casemight require. Cob Ford, in reply; said,
" all - hell can't drive see from it. I know my men will
light, and Ido not mean to be whipped out, not a man
shall come down to tell they have been whipped away .
from it. I don't want -any reinforcements, I think that
you (meaning Col. Miles and the foroe on the other side)
will have to come'up tome 'for protection," and more of
the same tenor. Colonel Miles answered that he didn't
think rhetorical flourish would do much toward it, but
believed Col. 'ord and his troops would be able to give a
good account of themselves. The impression then seemed
to be that the attack would come from Bolonion's
(lap, where Colonel - Feed's:l,M be bad strong Dickets,'and
traggeatioise.were made by Colonel Miles as to, increased
vigilance in that quarter. At the time of this visit, Capt.
McGrath, commadding the battery; was informed of the
expected attack, and answered that he "was ready."
Inquiry-was thin made by Col. Miles as to whether' one
of the heavy guns could be brought to hereon certain
points for the purpose of shelling out ' any rebels who
might intrude, Capt . McGrath replied that beeould so
.place the gun as to have the desired effect The captain
also remarked that his men were "rusting , elute' and he
hoped that an opportunity would be offered won to take •
some of the that off. . • . , • • .
Elabeequentli, Cot Ford remarked to -Major Steiner
and your corr . espondent that he had "looked the hill all
over, was:satisfied that it was streng position, and;
meant to - stay:there ;" that he thoneht a small forms might .
to heap a disproportionately largo one at bay. It was
afterward subject of comment between the twollsteaers,
.that they were -glad- to boar Col Ford say so, as they.
' thought be meant it, and would fight. -
After the evacuation of Maryland Heights, your cor
respondent told Colonel Miles that there seemed to be a
diversity of opinion as to who was reeyoneible for the
evacuation, and asked him frankly as to whether It was
done by his orders. "No, sir, but in direct opposition
to them, " was the reply already recorded. Allusion was
then m ade by Colonel Miles to the conversation before
mentioned, to which . your correspondent was a listener,
and also mention made of the order to "hold on till the
co is tail comes - off." Colonel Miles remarked that
Ford's. reply to that order did not indicate that be had
thiy slightest intention of giving up the Heights. . This
certainly -moves the receipt of the despatch. •
_That Col. Mlles was remiss in his duty in not arresting
Col.'Ford and ordering a reoocupation of the heights, if
only to prevent' the rebels from planting a battery there,
is not denied.. That he also neglected to-fortify London
Helfhte Is apparent, though patllated by the fact that the
battery on Maryland. Heights . commanded London
Heights, and the belief that it was impossible to take ow
ion of sufficiently long range'up the Heights. The asser
tion that Vol Miles was a traitor and a coward' is not
warranted by the facts, and arises from the old preju

THE ARMY OF..THE POTOMAC.
From Sharpeners—No Prospect of Immediate
Work—The Rebels in a Strong Pesition—ln
teresting from Harper's Ferry.
EnAItPREVRO, Md., !Saturday, Sept. 21,1882—The
re
conaolßsence recently made by Col. Farnsworth's Oa
vslry, the statements of citizens, and information re
ceived through official sources, confirm the resort that
the rebel lino is the western bank of the thew:lan
creek, extending from the Potomac river to a point be
yond Winchester. The position is a strong one. A sac
cession of hills affords an admirable Otte for artillere,
which advantage • seems to • have been fully appreciated •
by the rebels. In order to succeestully attack the rebels
in their new poaltion, It will require a Idea a third larger
than their own. They have pitched their tents and
intend to hold their position If possible. They are
busily engaged in throwing up earthworks on the extreme
eight of their line, and aro making preparations to fortify
the entire bank of the creek. •
If a battle is to take place within the coming two
weeks, the Union forces about Herron 'a Ferry will doubt
less be engaged, as the rebels have possession of Bolivar
Heights. I think the public will not Wen be startled
with any stirring war news from this,quarter. If the
Union army crosses the river to attack the rebels, it must
be -largely reinforced. As far as can be ascertained,
there is ne intention to bring on en engagement at
Present.
For the past three or four days parties at Harrisburg
have been acuouncieg to the public, through the tole•
graph, that the atmy-bad crossed the river at Williams
port The fact is, only a small portion of the army is in
that vicinity, and certainly there are no indications that
it will bo selected as a point of crossing. - If the army, as
a whole, crosses the river during the 'coming season, It
will do it at a point below Williamsport.
As the fall advances, the Meat - become quite chill,
rendering an extra blanket very desirable. ()amp fires
are becoming a luxury, and remind ns that winter is
rapidly approaching
, Henexn's FERRY, Va., Sept. 27.—Yesterday morning
a Patton of Gan. Sumner% coipe, consisting or the sth ,
and 6th Cavalry, (regulars,) and a horse battery, made
a smccesefui reconnolesaeice in the direction of Charles- -
town. The party, under the command of Major Whi-'
ties, pre ceoded nearly four mlles,,drove in the enemy's
pickets, capturing five, suffered no lose, and established
the fact that the enemy are in force_ at Charlestown.
Their movements, however, in that direction, are
merely to cover operations at Winchester, (thirty
two miles tistant,) and vicinity, where they are throw
ing up defences. and andoubledly intend making a
stand. The nainral de theta of the place, together
with those of an artificial character, will assist the rebels
materially in dieputiug . the southward march of our
army. That they now design holding this entire portion
of Virginia, instead of falling back to the Rapidan or
Rappahannock, is very evident. In six or eight weeks
more the r ainy season will have set to ' thus greatly im
peding our progress, and if they can keep us in check
until then they hope to be able to keep possession of the
country, at least until the spring campaign opens. From
what source, in the meantime, they expect to draw their
supplies, is to me a mystery: How, indeed, they are
now embeisting their large reran is what none of us can
uederstand. True, Dome portions of the Shenandoah
valley .have .not been deprived of their cereals, yet
these will go but a obort Way in meeting the demands of
the hungry horde who follow the fortunes of the South
ern leaders.
General Stunner °couples as his headquarters an anti.
quated,'roomy mansion, surrounded be shade trees, with
a pleasant lawn in front, and fruit orchard in the rear.
The General, who is loved by all of his command, being
courteous and affable to every one who is thrown in con
tact with him, can be seen at almost any time of the day
seated in front of his headquarters reeding from a news
paper, or in friendly conversation with his men He
dresses in black army bat, frock coat, black pants, and
checked shirt. The gallant Meagher, who always has
an eye for the picturesque, has chosen for his quarters a
green knoll, overlooking the romantic Shenandoah where
it flows into the Potomac. A cool grove stands near by,
from which the men have brought bows and planted
them around their General's tent, thus giving it quite
the appearance of a rural retreat. This once invincible
Irish brigade has been so decimated by the conflicts on
the Peninsula and in Maryland, as to now number less
than a thousand men, all told.
Gen. French, who so distinguiebed himself in the late
battle, is located further to the front, in the direction of
Bolivar Heights. His quarters presented a cool, airy
appearance. Directly in front of them is a shady bower,
made of hemlocks, wherehe can retire in the heat of the
day. Maryland Heights, SO lately overran by the rebel
hordes, is now white with national tents, a portion of
Gen. Banks' command having located there for the pre
sent. The large siege-guns remain as we left them a
week ago today, after spiking and roiling them off the
Platform. What labors are being performed on these
world• renowned heights, under the direction of General
Williams, I am not at liberty to mention; suffice it to
say that they are of such a character as to prevent the
enemy over again capturing them, and thereby causing
the surrender of Harper's 'Ferry. Everything appears
dead and lifeless on the Londonn Heights; but having
forded the river, and ascended its precipitous side, large
numbers of men can be seen on the summit felling trees,
making clearings, locating camps, and otherwise busily
engaged.
Affairs begin to wear their wonted appearance about
the village. Refugees are returning, stores being open
ed, hucksters bringlog in their country produce, and all
vestiges of the late rebel raid will have soon disappeared.
The pontoon bridge was competed on Thursday, and the
work on the new iron railroad bridge is being pushed
forward rapidly. The- river is very low and a constant
stream of camp wagons aro crossing to and fro fro n the
Maryland shore. During the last week a sadden change
has taken place in the weather, and the nights now are
very cool, placing army blankets at a decided premium.
An unfortunate accident (or I should have said blunder)
occurred yeeterday. Four members cf the 145th ['erten-i
-vied& Regiment were severely wounded by one of their
own men ; one of them, shot in the bowels, will proba
bly die.
When the equinoctial donne arise, swelling the Poto
mac and thereby relieving our forces from guard duty,
and some necessary preliminee arrangements are com
pleted at Washington, look for a forward movement.

Snartesnuac, Tuesday, Sept. O. •
Yesterday, Colonel Farnsworth's brigade of cavalry,
accompanied by Gibson'a and Tidball a United States
batteries, crossed the •Potornao into Virginia, below
Sbepherdstown. The force reconnoitred the country
for a distance of five or six miles from the river, and
discovered that the enemy still holds his position in the
vicinity of Winchester.
Meijer Madill of the Bth Jilin:de Cavalry, with three
squadrons, took the road leading from Shepherdstown to
Maitiraburg, and' met one regiment of the enemy's"
cavalry four miles from the former place. The enemy
also had two pieces of artillery, and fired a few , ahell, but
without effect. The rebel vedettes, which were in
Shepherdatown and along the roads in the morning, re
tired as our cavalry advanced. Captain Farnsworth, of
the Bth Illinois took the road to Winchester. In the
houses along the way he took over twenty of the enemy's
wounded, including Colonel Magill, of Georgia, all of
whom were paroled.
At Shepherdatown General Pleasanton's provost mar
shal paroled nearly four banded rebel wounded. Our
artillery wee not brought into practice. General Griffin,
with the 14th Aar York. 62d Pennsylvania, 32d Massa
chusetts' and 2d District of. Columbia- Regiments, also
crossed the river, and proceeded a mile and a' half be
yond- They took over four wagons, which they brought .
in at night loaded .with forage. They also picked up
twenty•five muskets. It is believed that the enemy* will
not reappear in Shepherdatown while our forces ocoapy
their *leant position opposite.
THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
The Capture of Augusta—Official Account of
B. L. W
the Surrender of Munfordsville.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial, Sept. 30
We are indebted to poi. Labtn J. Bradford, of &h.
guide, Ky., for further particulars concerning the burn- ,
ing and pillaging of Augusta, by. the rebels, ander Basil
Duke. He states that, on Saturday morning, Captain
Began,' commanding one hundred Augusta Home
Guards, which constituted the main defence of - the
town, left Augusta on a scouting expedition on the
Bock Spririg road. when some miles from the town
they were confronted by a strong rebel force, and upon
attempting to . retire they were intercepted by about
three hundred of the enemy, who - cut cut off
their retreat to town. They 'then made a wide de. I
tour, proposing to return by Metcalf's Landing, Which
movement they encoessfully accomplished, making a
'much of some twenty-four miles. Meantime Augusta
was attacked and captured. Couriers notified the peo
ple of Augusta at about 2 o'clock P. M., that the pickets
of the enemy had appeared on Bradford's Hill in the
rear of the town. Col.' A. J. Bradford and Lieut. Col.
Harris immediately mustered a force of about 130 men
and boys on the public sqoare, and the former assured
them if they would fight, they, with tho aid of the gun
boats could . whip ,the rebels. 'iho men responded
cheerily for the "Union and old Kentucky." The gun
boats Belfast, commanded by Capt. Sedam, and Mien
Colder, Capt. Wilson, were then at the whatf. Col.
Bradford bad an interview witk the commanders, and.
'subsequently arranged to poet his men in sqrtais in the
houses, believing that the best mode of defence.
Meantime the enemy planted three one-gun batteries
of field pieces on the bill, and the Belfast opened upon
the rebels, killing three of their officers and disabling
several men, - besides 'dismounting one of the enemy's
pieces at the first. shot. -The Union forces were
greatly encouraged, and cheered in a lively manner.
The rebel batteries were now turned upon the gunboats,
but their shells fell abort, although pretty well di
rected. The Allen _Collier, however, had dropped
down the river a mile' or two before a shot was
fired, and the , Florence Miller moved np to take her
place. After firing four or five rounds, the Belfast for
some reason not' yet explained, steamed up, and, t aking
the Florence Millerintow, moved up to Iligginsport—the
Florence Miller being next to the Kentucky shore sod ex- •
Posed to the enemy; The rebels observing the flight
of the gunboats, rushed madly into town, thence down to
the landing, and fired several volleys at the receding Tes
sera. Our troops hadrnow' got into cover of the houses
on, Front street, and were engaged with the enemy, who
fought with desperation: The determined little band
fired with murderous effect and kept the rebels at bay
until the gunboats bad Sod, when Col. Bradford, seeing
that hie men would be uselessly slaughtered, surrendered.
The enemy's lose was very severe, as stated in our first
account. Dr. L. J. Bradford states ours at 12 killed and
3 wounded. Several of our men were killed after the
surrender. Win. Story was deliberately murdered after
he bad surrendered, for killing Capt. Morgan, nephew to
the redoubtable guerilla, Gen. John Morgan. Dr. B.
states that the rebels fought furiously, but that the men
of Augusta dipplayr d equal heroism. The women of the
. place were in the houses loading muskets for the Union
men while the fight was going on.
The rebel force wait 630 strong, consisting of die
' mounted cavalry and an artillery company. They took
184 prisoners from Augusta and Bracken county to Lex-
Inlton, where they paroled 84. They ratified to parole
any of the Home GUards. They spoke With the greatest
contempt ol the gunboats. saying they sr might do to
card fodder for geese, but were not .they
to fight Southern
soldiers with." A terse Of about 300 cavalry and 400 in
fantry were organized by col. Wilson, Col. Wadsworth,
and Col. Marshal, pursued the enemy, overtaking
them at Brooavllle, where they killed twelve, wounded
others, and trek one prisoner, losing but one man, the
•rebels - flying' in great confusion. The rebels being
mounted,and their wounded all in good wagons or CBI
' xiagee,:Whlch had been taken from Augusta, were en
abled to tetreat without further lose.

I did not wish to lose the advantage of our worke. At
hat( past five the fighting became general along the whole
line, the enemy tiering advanced to within two hundred
yards of our works in large numbers.
At half put six A. N. the enemy advanoed in line of
battle upon our west or main work, and, seeing their In
tent' , n to storm our position, I ordered the e. en to Sx
bayonets, when the rebels came forward with a cheers
suppoeing our caseation of fire was asignof retreat.
When they came within about thirty yards I directed
the men to fire, which was repeated by OoL Murray, and
the officers along the line, and a very avalenche of death
swept through the ranks csnslog them to first stagger.
and then run in disorder to the wood in the rear, having
left all of their field officers on the ground, either killed
or mortally wounded. The regiments that made this
charge were the 7th and 10th Miesherippi and 7th Mals.
ma. Immediately after this repulse a a;millar ono was
made on the redoubt by the 9th and 29th fdieslasippi and
a battalion of sharpshooters. They were literally mur
dered by a terrible fire from the gallant de,enders of the
work. illejer Abbott sprang up on the parapet
with his hat in ore hand and a drawn sabre in the
other, urging his men to stand to the work, until

artillery, in the meantime war riddling them with grape
and canister, when they broke in all directions, fleeing
as from a belching volcano, many dropping as they fled.
At this juncture I sent 001. Emerson. of the 67th In
diana, with one more company to reinforce the redoubt,
and to take command. The enemy soon rallied, how
ever, and seemed to be more cautions in their movement.,
keeping up a constant fire from the beet corer they could
obtain, until half past nine A. M., making several weak
efforts to charge ns again T but they bad learnod a dear
leesou,tand profited by It. At half past nine they sent in a
flag of truce, demanding again that I should eurrender.
I egain refused, when they asked the privilege of re
moving their dead and wounded. I gave them leave to
do so.
At nine A. M. I was reinforced by six cotenants!' of
the 60th Indiana, under Colonel Dunham,who had come
up on the railroad from Louisville, and were thrown oft'
the track- six mikes - back. At daylight they pushed
through by a circuitous route, =being Scott's Cavalry,

without any lose, except one man slightly wounded.
After the night closed, Colonel Dunham, being the rank
ing officer, assumed command, and will, no doubt, make
a report o f events occurring on Monday and Tuesday
following the Sundays tight., My whole force consisted
of the 67th and 89th Indiana regiments, one company of
the 18th regulars, '204 recruits of the 17th Indians, two
companies 74th Indiana, one company of cavalry, Louis

pounder howitzer, and one 3 inch rifled gun, under Lieut.
Mason; 13th. Indiana Battery, sixty men; 33d Ken
tucky, Captain Wilson--the whole force amounting to
2,122 men for duty. If I were to give a list of theta who
did their whole duty, it would simply be a muster-roll of
all who were there; noman flinched or held back a par
ticle. • I must, however, mention W. A. Bullitt, adjutant
3d Kentucky, who conveyed orders tor me through the
hottest of the fire with ea - much coolness as if on review;
and Captain Frank White, 16th Indiana, who superin
tended the earthwork', and, whenever a point was ex
posed to a raking fire from the enemy's batteries, imme
diately threw up traverses to protect the men.
Oar entire loss was 37 killed and wounded. The enemy
admit a lois of 714 killed and wounded on Sunday slime. I
can not give as complete a report as I could wish, not
having yet received a report from the different commands
engaged.
On Tuesday cloning, at 7 P. M., I was again placed
in command. By this time General Polk had erased the
river ten miles above, with the right wing of Bragg'.
army, and coming down on the north side, took up a
position on the river hills commanding our works; the /
left wing, under Hardee, having taken poalion on the hills
on the ,tenth tide. Bragg bad sent a summons to surren
der, and a consultation had been held late
Tuesday evening with commanders of regi
ments, in which it was the unanimous ex
pression, that unless enabled by reinforcements
to bold the north side of the river, we could make
DO successful resistance. All, however, decided to re
sist, nukes full evidence should be given of the over
whelming force of the enemy ; and having been informed
that Gen. Buell's army bad not left Bowling Green at 2
P. M , the day before, and having been notified by you
that we could get no help from Louisville. our ammuni
tion for small arms being very limited, and oar men worn
out by constant work and fighting for four days and
nights, and being galleried that further resistance was
no lees than wilful murder of the brave men who bad
so long contested with overwhelming numbers, I
determined, after counting forty-five cannon in positions
commanding our open field=works, and surrounded by
over twenty-five thousand men, with no possible chance
of assistance from any quarter, although promised such
by you from Bowling Green, to surrender the entire -
force ; which I did on Wednesday morning, at 2 A.
M., marching out of the works at 6 A. M.. with all the
honors of war, drums beating and colors flying we being
allowed, by the terms of surrender, our side arms and
all private property, and four days' ration. Officers and

THE WAR IN ARKANSAS.
Inactivity of our Armies—The Corn Crop of
the State—The Navigation of the Missis
"pp'.
HELENA, Ark , Sept. 26.
All the paroxysms of fearful hope and hopeful fear
that have held'the rebel country in such awful suspense,
we in the amity have alike been called upon to experience.
V bile our Eastern armies are constantly amid the din of
war and the tumult orrevolution we of the West lay
supinely on our backs and bug the deinsivaphantom of
hope. We had our tarn last winter and spring, while
licOlellan's army was quartered In their pewter's around
Washington. The rebels found the iron columns, com
posed of the hardy eons of the Northwest, a hard barrier
to pit against,vonscouently they transferred the theatre
of war to. hat, they thought, and rightly too, would not
be Such an adamantine front. If this army of the North
west is accomplithlng anything, it is more than we can
see. Inactivity and idleness are the two fundamental
rules that we go by. .
Said a well.inforatedMissiselypian to me the other day,
"If we van only have the Mississippi river until we can
secure the present crops of Arkansas and Texas, we can
hold you a bard'rnb for another year."' And he told the
truth. The reopening of the Mississippi grows vastly in
importance as the ripening season of the year apprciachea.
There has been more corn raised in the State of Arkan
sas during the year that has just passed than Many fire
years previous. :Necessity brought.them loft.. And it
has been the flutist soil for corn probably of any State
claimed by the Southern Ckinfederacy. These crepe are
all ripe, new, and ready to be gathered into the garner.
The question la who shall do the gathering—the rebels or
the Federal army 't But, then, my readers will Say,
°firth' has an army in Arkansas; why can't it gather
it?" Fes, my good friends, and that army holds just
about enough territory to quarter on. We want the
State isolated from the Southern aristocracy. We want
the channel through Which these bountiful crop, are
being hurried off closed up. Ws want Vicksburg tak
that we may dry up the sources of the rebel supplies.
Again, the vaat'domain of Texas is all open to their
ravages. They are dependent 'almost alone upon that
State for their cattle, as well as much other produce.
They are drawing these rich supplies from her fertile
plains constantly. `•How long shall this go on T . Will
the rebels be permitted to Snatch these glittering prises
from beneath the very eyes of the Federal Government'?
The reopening of the Mississippi Is of vastly, more im
portance than the people of the Northwest have supposed.
It ii even of more importance than the taking of the
rebel capital.
