with joy at having again for their

could place implicit confidence.
Already -his hurried visits to our

LATEST WAR NEWS.
The Occupation of Frederick---Movements
of th e Enemy.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—The intel
ligence received last night, and addi
ti9nally
confirmed this morning, of
the occupation of Frederick City, Ma
ryland, by the rebel forces, naturally
excited much surprise, mingled with
indignation and alarm. Frederick is
about sixty miles from Baltimore by
the railroad line, and forty overland
from 'Washington by way of Rock
ville, Darnestowu and Poolsville, Md•
There are but limited opportunities
here of obtaining information from
that pqint,strlmost all the intelligence
coming - by way 'or Baltimore. The
Government - uuthoritte's received the
news yesterday, in a written or !doc
umentary !form.
During la4t night immense bodies
of troops were in- motion' for the tip
per Potomac and elsewhere, and'to
day the -military operations continue
Nearly all the rebel troops have ap-.
parently been withdrawn' from our
front, certainly none in large force
remain. Their next movement is a
mdttbr d.conjecture, but lueCautionq
have been taken to guard in certain
quarters against probable damages
by them.
There is no doubt but that large
reinforcements of rebels were yester
day passing from Ashby's Gap, south
of Leesburg, as if intending to cross
at Snicker's Ferry, which is between
Point of Rocks and Edward's Ferry.
The rebels move in solid column, first
cavalry, next artillery, then infantry,
with the baggage in the rear, and
these again are followed in the same
order by similar descriptions of
troops. The people of the valley have
contributed to their sustenance, and
doubtless furnished them with all
needful information.
Nothing has been heard from our
troops at Harper's Ferry and Mar
tinsburg, who are cut off from rein
forcements by the movement of the
enemy towards Frederick. A gentle
man who arrived here to day, having
left Frederick between 9 and 10
o'clock last night, on horseback, says
that the rebel force is estimated at
40,000, under Jackson. From his
conversation with the soldiers, he de
rived the impression that one of their
objects is to destroy the Northern
Central Pennsylvania Railroad, or
otherwise operate in that State, and
that they have ulterior designs on
Washington and Baltimore. Our in
formant was glad to leave the neigh
borhood of Frederick, without carry
ing anything along to verify his data.
Rebel Defeat at Martinsburg.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—A dispatch
dated Martinsburg, Va., to-day, to
Major-General John E. Wool, Balti
more, says: I have the honor to report
that the enemy, four hundred caval
ry, who attacked my outposts have
been defeated, with the loss of about
fifty prisoners, horses and arms now
in our possession. Our loss was two
killed and ten wounded, including
Capt. Gosvener and Lieut. Logan, of
the 12th Illinois cavalry. The loss
of the enemy greatly exceeds ours,
but it is not accurately known, The

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—Tbe intelli
gence received last night, and addi
tionally confirmed this morning, of
the occupation of Frederick City,
Md., by the rebel forces, naturally
excited much surprise, mingled with
indignation and alarm. Frederick
Cityis about sixty miles from 1104-
More by the railroad line, and forty
overland from Washington by way
of Rockville, Darnestown, and Pooles
vile, Md. There are but limited op
portunities here of obtaining infor
mation from that point, almost all
the intelligence coming by way of
Baltimore. The Government au
thorities received the news yester
day, in a written or documentary
form.
During last night immense bodies
of troops were in motion for the
Upper Potomac and elsewhere, and
to-day the military operations con
tinue. Nearly all the rebel troops
have apparently been withdrawn
from our front, certainly none in
large force remain. Their next
move is a matter of conjecture, bat
precautions have been taken to guard
in certain quarters against probable
damages by them.
There is no doubt but that large
reinforcements of rebels were yester
day passing from Ashby's Gap, south
of Leespurg, as if intending to cross
at Snicker's, Ferry, which is be
tween Point of Rocks and Edward's
Ferry. The rebels move in solid
column, first cavalry next artillery,
then infantry with the baggage •in

who arrived herd to ; day; having left
Frederic between nine and ten o'clock
last night on horseback, says that
the rebel force there iii estimated at
40,000, under Jackson. From his
conversation with the rebel soldiers,
he derived the impression that one of

For the Messenger.
MESSRS. Enrrons:—Will you grant.rne
a little apace in your columns, for the
purpose of - noticing the Harvest Home
Celebration at Castile School House, on
Saturday, August 23d? This Celebration
was gotten up by the several Sabbath
Schools in this section of the country, and
was conducted in a spirit of unity and
good feeling, highly creditable to all con
cerned in it.
At an early morning hour the people of
the neighborhood and surrounding country
collected in large numbers, and soon after
the respective Schools began to arrive,
each headed by a martial band, dispersing
patriotic airs. All were marched to a de
lightful grove, where a stand, seats, and
other proper arrangements had been
made for the occasion, when the large
concourse of people were called to order
by the selection of proper officers. The
further programtme of the exercises was
then announced by Mr. Nathan Smith,
when, after prayer by the Rev. Yarnel,
Professor A. B. Miller, of your place,
came forward and delivered a very . chaste
and aopropriate address to the Sabbath
School scholars and teachers, and the
listeners generally. At the close of this
address a most sumptuous coleeltion of
creation comforts was served to the wait
ing and hungry crowd, and so ample had
been the provision, that, after the multi
tude did all eat, and were filled, many
baskets full of the fragments were taken
up.
This bountiful feast having inspired
the people with renewed patience and patri
olism, they were again organized,—this
time into a union 'meeting, in which capaci
ty they listened to a most able, patriotic,
and well-timed speech from your fellow
townsman, R. A. McConnell, Esq. Mr.
McConnell was followed by Dr. Wm. Bra
den, of Washington county, and be by
Rev. Yarnel. Dr. Samuel Colver, of Jef
ferson closed the speaking by a very exact
history of the various battles, &e., since
the commencement of the war. When
the people were permitted to disperse to
their respective homes, highly gratified
with the entertainment of the day.

A PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM A PA
TRIOTIC pA TO A PATRIOTIC
MOISER.
CAMP WASHINGTON, D. C., }
Sept. 5, 1862.
DEAR AQTAER, : Your kind letter of
August 28, was received on yesterday
and I embrace this, the earliest op
portunity, to reply. Your letter found
me in the enjoyment of good health,
but sorry to hear that your own wits
not so good. I trust, however, ere
this reaches you, your health will
have been restored. Since I wrote
you last we have been called upon to
pass through another series of hard
fought battles; harder, 'believe, than
any fought since the commencement
of the war. At present we are in the
same position we were in one year
ago. The war no nearer settled in
my estimation.
I was sorry to hear that you were
to be left alone, on account of Father
enlisting ; but our country needs and
demands the assistance of all her
sons; and if he feels it his duty to re
spond to the call of his country, in
this her time of need, do not object;
but rather say "Go." I know it will
be a sore trill] for you to part with
the last prop on earth, but I feel as
sured that you will bear up under the
load with fortitude, knowing that He
that ruleth over and holdeth the des
tiny of man, as it were in the hollow
of his hand, can again unite your
household, and return husband and
sons to the family circle. The mail
is just going to leave, and I have to
bring my epistle to a• close. I will.
write soon again. My love to father,
brother and sisters, and accept the
same. Your affectionate son,
JOHN HAYS.
P. S. James Wohs, of Waynesburg,

Latest From Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Sept. 7.—The most re
liable information we have is that the
rebels are in force at Williamstown,
thirty miles from this city, on the
Lexington pike. At this point two
dirt roads diverge to the Ohio river,
one striking at Warsaw below, and
the other at Augusta, above this city.
The Ohio is fordable, even for infan
try, at or near these places, but the
points are strongly guarded. This
advance to Williamstown would in
dicate an attack on Cincinnati. The
work on the fortifications has pro
gressed rapidly, and they are now
very strong. If the rebels push for
ward, we must have a fight here in a
day or two.
The people here are preparing for
the shock of battle, but there is not
as much excitement as on last Mon
day. A deep feeling, however, pre
vails. We have reports that the reb
els are getting a large number of re
cruits in Kentucky. This is'proba
bly true, though all reports from
there are greatly exaggerated. There
is startling reports of evacu.tion in
Tennessee. Great movements are on
foot. The secessionists, who are usu
ally well posted, claim that the rebels
will invade Ohio by way of Maysville.

1 1 TherairrafAffih. a Raid!
Thp Death of General Stevens.
THE REBELS SEVERELY PUNISHED.
PHILADELIIHIA, September 3.—A
Tribune spebial, dated at Centreville,
Monday night, says: As General
Reno's division was pursuing its line
of march, and when within one mile
and a half of Fairfax Court House, a
heavy volley from a force of riflemen
came pouring in upon them from the
woods to the right of the road.
This occurred at 4 P. M. The
rebel force was a detachment from
Gen. Hill's division, and was com
manded by Gen. Stuart. The volley
was allmost entirely received by
Gen. Stevens' brigade, composed of
the 28th Massachusetts, Bth Michigan
50th Pennsylvania, 100th Pennsyl
vania and 46th New York.
Gens. Reno and Stevens immedi
ately formed their commands in line
of battle to repel the attack of the
enemy, now concealed in the thick
shrubbery of the woods. General
Stevens rode up and down his lines
gallantly rallying his men, intimida
ted by repeated volleys from an un
seen enemy.
Unable to cope with them in the
position they then held, Gen. Stevens
ordered his men to fix bayonets,
and charge them through the woods.
This order was gallantly responded
to by his men, who pressed the ene
my and drove them before them with
great slaughter.
While thus charging them, General
Stevens was hit with a Minnie ball,
and instantly killed, but not until
the enemy had been routed. Capt.
Stevens, the son of the General was
also wounded in the hand. General
Kerney'4. batteries now opened on
the rebel forces, causing sad havoc
among the rebel ranks.
Skirmishing was kept up for about
three hours, when the enemy retreat
ed, and the train passed on unmolest
ed.
Your correspondent passed over
the battle ground at ten o'clock on
Monday evenig. The enemy's loss
was heavy. Their dead lay in fur
rows where the first volley from Ste
vens' brigade went whistling among
them, and I thought the penalty for
this raid was amply severe
General Stevens was Ex-Governor
of Washington Territory, and is re
ported to have fought most gallant

or some good security for their safe
keeping. Companies can he organi
