COMPLETION OF THE SINBEIAN T2LEGRAPH.—
We learn fr(ro an officer, who occupies a very high
and responsible position under the Russian Govern.
ment; that the telegraph between Omsk and
lrkontik is completed. The stations have been
fixed; and the lino is now in operation. On 21st De
cember, I.BM, two despatches* were sent from
Irkoutsk to the director of telegraphs, at the capi
tal. They were started from the former station at
meridian, and received at St. Petersburah at eight
oielook and thirty minutes the same evening—a dia.
tame of 5,750 verste or 3,285 ' marine miles. As the
line was not then in complete working order, the
feat maybe regarded as worthy of special note.
The labor on the Irkoutsk and Omsk portion of
the line was commenced enrly in 1853, and in Sep
tember of the same year messages were sent from
one or more stations to others. In November, the
line was in working order to Krasnoiarak, and by
the fifth of December to Ankan.—Alla California'.

The Richmond papers of the 22d contain a quan
tity of interesting matter, from which wo select the
following: •
THE DEFEAT Or EARLY.
The ptguirer says
• •
- There were many reports current on
_yesterday
representing that Early had sustained a severe 'de
feat in.the Valley. All accounts that reach us con
cur in the statement that.a very heavy battle was
delivered on-Monday last, a few miles below Win
chester, and ,that our forces, after battling braveiy.
all day, retired during the night to Newtown,
.and
afterward to Fisher's Hill, a few miles southwest of.
Winchester. In this fight we lost Generals Rhodes
and Godwin killed, and Gen. Fits Lee sllghtly
vroundeddn'the thigh. The enemy made the attack
in a force much larger than our, own, and Buffered
very heavily.
The‘following.has- been received from - Gen. Lee :
HBADQUARTERS ARMY OF NOIITKeRWC VIRGINI/ 4
-Sept. 21, 1864.
To Jaines A. Seddon:.
General Early reports that on the morning of the
19th, the enemy advanced on Winchester, near
which plaoe he met his attack, which was resisted -
from early in the day till near night, when he was,
compelled to retire. After night he fell back to
Newtown, and this morning to Fisher's Hill. -
Our loss reported to•be severe. •
Major General Rhodes and Brigadier General
Godwin were killed, nobly doing thelr.duty. -

The telegram from General Lee brings the un
welcome intelligence of a reverse to our arms inthe
Valley. • General Early has retired from,Winches
ter to Fisher's Hill, near' Strimbing. ' The varying
fortunes of the-War in the Valley have so repeatedly
witnessed the falling:: back and subsequently the ad: ,

regarded as . itnpregnatile, and front it lee witi, in due

. The death cif Major tieneral - Robert - E:eßtiodes
will be severely. felt by the Army of Northern Vir
ginia, 'which sustains, by his death, the loss of one
of Its best officers. lila promotion was rapid, for he
early evinced these great qualities which won the
confidence of'his.men and the admiration of his
country. General Rhodes was born in Lynchburg,
Virginia. and graduated in the class of 1648 at the
Virginia" Military Institute, and, after a 'few' years
of professorship at that institution he removed - to
Alabama
whore he married Miss W oodruff, of Tus
caloosa. 'General Rhodes came out in 1801, as cap- .
tam of the " Mobile Cadets, " and upon the organi
zation of the sth Alabama Regiment he was app
pointed its colonel. His best eulogy is the faithful
record of his services. Promoted soon after the •
first battle of Manassas to brigadier general, he
followed the fortunes of the Army of Northern VIT.
.glnia through the winter of 1861. • He was
also at the siege of Yorktown; wounded in
the arm at the battle of- Seven Pines; throughout
the Seven- days' battles around Richmond; upon .the
Maryland campaign; wounded at Sharpsburg pre
sent at Fredericksburg; at Chancellorsville, where
he was made major general ; -through- the Pennsyl--:
vania campaign ; from Mine:Ran to Gaines' Mill;
with _Early in the defenc e
e of- Lynchburg ; again into
-Maryland, and with the valley army throughout its •
marches and battler', until he has fallen at Win
chester, in the service to which he devoted himself;
in the faithful discharge of duty, and in the enjoy
ment of, the grateful admiration of his countrymen.
He leaves a widow and child, to whom no oarthl
honors can bring any consolation, but to - whom the
tender sympathies of all will be freely given.
Brigadier General-A. O. God win Is also mentioned)
by . General Lee as among the killed. General God
win was formerly provosimarshal of Richmond, arid
was subsequently promoted colonel of a North. Ca
rolina regiment. .It has been but a fow days since
the papers mentioned his appointment to the briga
dier generalship. General Godwin was 'from Ports,
month, Virginia, and was a most gallant officer.
No other casualtier, are mentioned, but our loss is
reported very severe. The fall of Atlanta had &t
-read,/ cast a gloom over the community, and this
reverse ,will -very much increase it, we fear. It
shouldnot do so. The fortunes of war are always
uncertain, and reverses are, of course, very sadden
ing ; but it is unbecoming our people not to shako off,
their long faces and,hring themselves to calmly and .
resolutely consider their situation. The army is
always -In fine spirits, and, though defeated today,
to-morrow it will retrieve the loss, and laugh at the
sad and gloomy people who, far from danger, are
bet more apprehensive than those who bear its
runt.
Desperate efforts on-the part of the enemy are to
be looked for. The - Presidential election compels-
Lincoln to be stirring and' striking. - He can only
save his election by success this fall ; and, asthere

81C8R1L13.1 . 3 8 LETTER TO HOOD
The Enquirer speaks thus editorially of General
Sherzean'e letter and Hood's answer :
The first armistice of the war. like some of those
before the walls of. Troy, has been signalized by the
Olympia game of, a newspaper controversy between
the commanders. •
This controversy, as usual, leaves the parties just
where they were, each persistent in his own opinions.
Sherman's extraordinary letter must, however, have
been written for some purpose. He professes a
willingness "to make as much - Sacrifice for tho
peace and honor of the South as the- best born
Southron among you." "How does this compare
with •the private letter published some weeks since,
purporting to have . been written by the garde Slier
man,l explanatory of • the purposes of the North
ern Government. Our readers cannot have for
gotten it. This letter announces that the, peO•
pie of the Cotton States are to be deported to:
, other country, their land to be cultivated
by emancipated slaves, and the country thus,
redureed to the rule of. Northern people. Even in his
first Communication to Hood, he says the people of
Atlanta are to be removed because it is to "'the' in
terest of the United States " that it should be done.
Why; then, this prate about friendship to the South?
Why this . defence of an act which repeals all those
amenities 'which civilization has thrown around the
gaunt skeleton of war, and' thrusts mankind bank
again upon the un mitigated barbarisms of the
darkest ages'? There is but one answer. Lincoln
is called before the bar of humanity to answer for
the , deeds of Butler and of Banks. He -is• held re.
sponsiblelor the pledges of confiscation and depo
pulation made by the Abolitionists in his name and
by his authority. It is beginning to tell against him
in his election.
The people of the North find it to their interest to
repeal the bloody decree, and Lincoln is held to
account by the cupidity of his countrymen. He has
issued orders to. counteract this injury. ,Seward
says the order of emancipation falls with the war.
Forney and Raymond say peace will be granted on
other terms than consummated abolition. Sherman
is instructed to talk like " a Sonthron," and to pro
leis feelings of humanity which he , abhors in his
heart.
The "reply of General Hood to the Infamous as
persion's of Sherman, as to the causes and conduct
of the war, are too conclusive to need repetition.
The ground that their equals under the Federal
Constitution are rebels against their lawful . Au
thority has alloWed the Federals to imprison our
people,inen and women, in loathsome dungeons.
Tbe, interest of the linited„States" has driven
non•Combatantsfrom New Orleans and other Mies.
It has burned hduroG; destroyed property, and sent
homrless theusands to diminish the subsistence of
these whom the armed force of the enemy could not
reach. No crime in the catalogue of iniquity.has
not been perpetrated in the name of the United
States. .It seems its interest .to order fire, robbery,
murder, rape, famine, confiscation, and exile. These
crimes " it is the interest of the 'United States" to
commit., :Thep are committed, not becausethey are,
right, Wise, or justified by national law but. because
they promote the "interest" of the united States;
We 'have never seen so open an avowal of so flagrant
an iniquity. • • -
General Hood is right in referring these acts to
the ages of- barbarism. The war policy of the Pie.
buchadnezzars was that of Lincoln; it waS to mut'.
der, starve, subjugate, or drive out every pT i ple who
'withstood their myriads for the sake of ho e or
'hefty. Resistance to power, devotion to °me and
country, was no more a virtue -in the eyes 'of the'
IVlede or Persian than In those of the Yankee.
Darius, Cyrus, and Xerxes promoted their 44in
terest" by, armies . gathered with the promise of
plunder, and trod out of existence a free and resist
ing people with no more emotion than the rough.
soled negro treads out a nest of ants. Lincoln car.
ries the. banner of "interest" in the same, spirit,
General Hood is .right.• There is no instance is
ancient history where a war has been waged with
greater 'disregard of human` right or feeling than
the present. The cry of the despot has been the
same instil ages. ",Exterminate them and their
ideas, and replant their. country with obedient
subjects." This is the purpose of Lincoln and his
party. The extraordinary resistance of the South,
the unanimous determination 'to die rather than
submit, the universal. abhorrence with which the
advance of the. Federal flag has been met, even the
great fact that the'people of Atlanta will not take the
oath of allegzance, but prefer homeless and bread
less exile, seem to have awakened the despot, who
juts at all save his own ; " . interests?' to his insane
policy; This hypocrisy comes too late ; he cannot
deceive -his own fellow-citizens, while" the South
knoWs too well that "interest" makes him promise,
and that "interest" will make him violate his
promite.' • ' .
APPAIR,S 1N GIORGIA.
A letter from Lovejoy's Station, dated the 16th
inst., gives the latest intelligence from Georgia as
follows :
The. court of inquiry in: relation• to the loss of
stores at ,Atlanta has been concluded. There are
rumors in canfp of several important <official
changes, transfers, 8ic.,.0f too visionary a nature to
be made the subject of newspaper gossip. -Major
Eustis is temporarily acting chief „of_ staff of this
army.t
A number of ladles arrived at beadeirtirters, ap
plicants for permits to go through the lines. The
Inipector general's office is besieged daily with MU- -
zen visitors, and:the' acknowledged patience and
good temper of that energetic official-are sorely
tried by a thousand
and one importunities for per
sonal favors from a thousand and one of the most
impracticable and.unreasonable sort of, people.,
The ilag.of-truce. letters sent forward under the.
auspices of Major 'Clair, Confederate truce otficer;" .
have been permitted, to pass.' Also, a . few tele
graphic despatabes have been permitted over the
- Federal- wires to Nashville, and replies received
witbixi twelve hours.
An exchange of prisoners, two thousand on each
side, has been effected between our commissioner of
exchange, Col. G. A. Henry, and Col. Warner, of
Sherman's army. After the necessary prelimina
ries, the two thousand. Federal prisoners will be
brought forward, and an equal number of Confede•
rates from the otner aide, for exchange.
Geni Hood appears to be in as cheerful a flow of
spiritsas his brave and patriotic veterans.: I saw.
IL - bubo:day surrounded by a group of major gene
rals arid brigadiers, in social converseunder an oak
tree. Where the next campaign will b 6 is scarcely
ever discussed.. At present, there are no evidences
of a movement. But I have reason to predict. that
before many moons have waned the Federals will
hear of Hood and his army through quite a novel and
unexpected channel. •
The Dispatch contains the following :
A report' was in circulation atan early hour yes
terdaymorning that a fight occurred near Winches
ter, in the Valley. of Virginia, on Monday last.
Newtciwn, the point to which our , forces feltback
On Monday night, is about eight miles' this side of

town. We have no further particulars of the battle
than furnished by the official despatch, except that
Major General Fitz Lee received 'a painful, though
not dangerous, flesh wound in the thigh.
Sheridan, hairing been reinforced from Grant's
army, was enabled to bring overwhelming numbers
against the Confederates, who' resisted nearly an
entire day before falling back, and the fact that our
trains and supplies were brought off safely shows it
was no rout.
INCENDIARY FIRES IN RICHMOND.
Fires are on the increase in Richmond. Two
*lack occurred on the Mt are thus mentioned in
the Enquirer : -
About two o'clock yesterday morning the restau
rant on Twelfth street, known as - "Our . House,"
• kept by Mr. Charles Hunt, was discovered on fire.
. The fire brigade opportunely arrived to prevent an
extensive conflagration, and confined the fire to a
portion of the building in-which it originated. In
vestigation proved that the building had been fired
by an incendiary in three places—in the wine cellar,
and in the two rooms, front and rear , on the third
% story. • Mr. Hunt was absent from the city, and - his
manager, Mr. Robert • Schofield, was asleep in the
front room .on the third story, from which he was
rescued, while the' interior' of the building was
burning around him, by Watehman)Franklin, who
broke down the door. -His door was locked, and
from the fact that his room was set on fire.inside, it
is supposed that the' incendiarygained access by
means of a false key. . • • .
Between two or three thousand dollars in. Conte
-dorate money were stolen -from under the head of
• Ids bed, anrianother bed in the room was set on
fire. In the. rear room 'a number of trunks were
broken openbelonging to-Miss Elizabeth Hunt, as
- ter of the proprietor, and robbed of a large quanti
ty of :valuable wearing apparel, a considerable
• amount of State bank money, and some gold and
Silver. coin. In the trunk ; oont*ning the money
werefivergold watches:very valuable, and one dia
mond ring worth $1 , 306, none of whisk were taken.
The insurance policies on the - house and other pro-.
perty, also in•one of the- trunks, were unmolested.
BY the promptness of the firemen the fire did not
gain any great headway, and, although the house
•was•datoaged considerably, Jt is stiff in a condition
in which it can be repaired with facility: Mr.'
Hunt's losses by the fire and robbery are estimated
at about 00,000.
Yesterday morning, about six o'clock, the sexton
of Sycamore Church, on Eleventh street, discovered
that building to be on fire behind the door, in the
vestibule of lecture room. It had evidently
been Beton fire not long before, or, if during the
night, had burned slowly. All the wood work In
one corner of the vestibule was on fire and the wall
was becoming black. - The 'Sexton quickly 'procured.
the necessary assistance, and extinguished the fire
before any. serious damage could be done.
We have an incendiary fire now every night. Let
the most energetic efforts be made to bring the in
cendiaries In justice. An example on the gallows
May put a stop to it.
PETIECRSBURG.
The R.opa:101-gives the' following news from Pe
tersburg:
On some portions of the lines in front of Peters
burg, within the past few days, picket firing and
mortar shelling have been quite brisk, and it is ho
llered that a considerable number of the foe have
fallen. by the unerring aim of our sharpshooters.
This was particularly the ease on Tuesday, bid be
yond this nothing of importance occurred, nor was
there any change in the general situation: The
Yankees have heard of the capture of a large num
ber of cattle by Gen .Hampton; and in their accounts
are content Wltlt thotreffection that "Marge number
of the raiders are reported to have been captured,
with some of the cattle." It is said, however, that the
Yankee officers are sorely nettled in consequence of
the event,i as good beef is searceamong them, and
the chances of supplying the empty eattle-pens are
slim indeed. Meanwhile our boys are enjoying the
steaks and roasts, and unanimously vote Gen. Hamp
ton a most skilful commissary.
On our extreme right—the enemy's left—both par
ties continue to watch one another with sleepless
vigilance. Each returning, day adds strength to the
defensive works, and the tug of war, come when it
may, will be one of the bloodiest of this very bloody
contest. •
It is a notorious fact that Grant has, up to a - very
recent period, beam giving his troops rations of
whisky, and has frequently carried them into battle'
under the inspiration of this " Dutch Coufage," fear
ing to trust their natural qualities in this •re,spect.
We learn that he has changed his systoni:entirely,
and that an order has been issued poSitite,ll4prohi
bitingthe bringing within the • lines . of r the., armies
operating against Richmond of any spirituous, - Vi t
none, or malt liquors, except such as are brought
he commissary or medical departments. Probablf
Grant thinks that he, with Butler'sielp, can dd.
drinking enough for the whole army, and hence the
withdrawal of the whisky rations from.thu "rank
and file t "
• We pbrceive that the army commanded by Beast
Butler ' - on the Southside. is now officially recog
nized by the Yankee War Department as the'
" Army of the James."
A report was brought overby the ambulance train
last evening that the enemy yesterday uutde a feeble
attack upon our advancid works and was repulsed.
It is proper to state, however, that persons who ar •
rived at a later hour had heard nothing of it. The
usual cannonading took place °nth° lines yesterday
morning. ' •••
.THE THANS-MISBIESIPPi DST ARTMENT.
Through the Mobile Register, we get some late
yid interesting advices from the trans-Mississippi—
dates from Houston, Texas, as late as the 17th ult.
Military operations in that department are quiet.
General Magruder has been placed in command of
the district of Arkansas ' much to the regret of the
'people of Texas. General Walker has been put in
his place at Houston, Texas, and General Buckner
in command of the district-of West Louisiana.
Brigadier General Slaughter takes command of the
line of the Rio Grande, and of•the road from the
mouth of thit river to the mouth of the Colorado.
Much'difficalty' has been felt the military au
"--I+lAs of the TranS-Mississippi Department owing
Linn
-to the laws passed by We Moir ungress to regu.....,
the overland trade to Mexico. The inaptness of
these laws Is striking. In order to purchase the ab
solute necessaries of an army there for next winter,
*lt requires a half of all the cotton in that depart
ment. The laws allow of the exportation of all the
cotton, provided one-half Its value is brought back
in goods , not prohibited by the importation law. To
buy the cotten at its present price—s3.6o per. pound
—would take almost an equal weight of Confederate
treasury 'notes. The only alternative is to impress
one-half, and this is now being done without color of
law, but under Imperious necessity.
Accounts from Matamoros report that the Yan
kees have come to be in very bad odor among the
Mexicans, who offer them every annoyance possible.
Those Mexicans who enlisted in their army are now
deserting, crossing the Rio Grande, near Browns
'villa, and recrossing a few miles higher up to sell
themselves to the Confederates.

A. despatch from Charleston, dated Sept. 20, says
Two large guns, drawn by twenty horses each, have

received from Atlanta a sheet of thin paper, such as
used in •writing , telegraphic despatches manifold:
that was found inthe office of Addair & Smith, -edi.
tors of the Southern. Confederacy, formerly published
at Atlanta. The date of a despatch from Richmond,

from the contents - of another despatch upon the

As will be seen from the above list of stock sales,
there was a great fall in almost everything on the list,
In sympathy with the groat fall in • gold.. Reading
opened at 5734—a decline of 236 on Saturday's clo'sing
prices: Pennsylvania Railroad fell off 134; Philadelphia
and Erie 1%, and CatatvisSa preferred 2.. GOVernment
loans were likewise lower, the 'Bl loan being 34 off,
and the five-twenties 1% for the' regittered, •as well
as for those with coupons detached; 10934 ,was bid
for the seven- thirty notes. The one• year ceedfloates,
sold at 9434, also a slight decline. This fallin the Go
vernment loans is accounted for in the fact that the in
tereet heirig payable in gold. holders find them of less
valise of "course when the premium on the latter falls.
Butlehile the bonds may, to some extent, sympathize,
with got d, the,all-important fact mast not be oyerlooked
that the national currency appreciates in value to that
extent.- As gold falls, greenbacks become more valna.
ble, as their purchasing power is heightened.. One evi
dence of this fact is already presented 'ln the decline in
tbe prices of .all kinds of produce. Flour yesterday de-,
dined 50 cents per barrel, wheat 25 cents per bushel,.
and cotton 30 cents. If the good. news from our armies
continues to flow in upon us as it has been doiug du.
rine. the past , few days, not a few mercantile failures
may be anticipated. It will .be found, however,'
- that where -they occur tliey . will probablY be' traced to
.tasilf"speenlations- on-contracts .to receive..pork, Rear,
petroleum, &c., through the months of September.
October, &c., and these ought not to affect the'diedit of
the legitimate trade any more thin the announcement
of "lame ducks" in the Gold Room or. on the lamer
stock arena. The apprehension felt-in regard. to mer
cantile credits - evidently originates, in part, at least,
from the suspicion that many of our prominent houses
hive been engaged, beyond prudent limits, in specula
tions in gold.
