August 12, iaoa.
Ldi'or Columbia Democrat,

gave out from fatigue. Sucli clouds of
dust were raised by our Artillery that
respiration and sight were equally difficult.
I lie second day s niarcli brought us to
Culpepper C. II.
On Friday, the 8th, rumors of Jackson's
advance ncross thu Uapid.in readied us,
and iu the afternoon our Division passed
beyond Culpepper, and Crawford's Rri-
trade took the advance. Wo halted for
the Litrht one mile this side. The next
day, Saturday, about noon, wc made pro
parations cither to advance immediately or
to fight on our own ground. Some s ight
cannonading was going on in frout. At-li
in tho afternoon, our Division was ordered
lbrwa-d, and the fight became general.
It was ri perfect roar of Artillery, vhilo
over and anon wo could catch the rattle ofj
musketry On getting nearer wc saw the
wounded scattered alont; tho road, thoso
able to speak representing our portion as
desperate in the extreme. However many
more sound men than wounded-passcd to
the rear. About dark the firing mostly ,
ceased, and the troops which had been en-
gnged fell back to the rear, while wc
matched silently, to the front. While ly -
ing cloic to a piece of woods waiting to bo
placed in poeiiiou, tho enemy again opened'
on us. A f-urgcon rode up hastily and
told us the rebels wore moving up large
forces of infantry that his wounded had
been captured, and that our Division
would have to repel the cucmy alone, as
the others had expended their ammunition.
He was evidently scared. But such news
and the enemy's fire had tho effect of caus
ing a disgraceful stampede of ambulances,
battery wagons, forges and of many of
tho troops engaged in the day's action.
Although thu rebels fired uncomfortably
close, they did not damage us. Our lino
was then formed, and tho artillery and
infantry put in appropriato positions.
Scarcely had wc attained them, when the
r-nomv brcu.-lit a batterv out of tho woods
j - -o
lui opened a terrible fire on our foreo.
iinmedi-
atoly got iuto operation at a distance of
only U00 yards, and for a time the tceno
was terrible, though animated. Wo soon
silenced them, aud uncertain quiet again
resumed its sway, We could sco the
lights of the CIlOIDy, hoar the rumbling

About .1 o'clock iu tho morning tho
forces on tho right fell back, and tcok up
a new position. Daylight showed us num
bers of tho enemy on tho mountain to the
our forco wns not lars enoush
to warrant us in attacking them in so strong
a position.

I lay facattored around with nil imaginable
, wounds in limbs, body, bead and face,
Somo quiet as dotitb, Dcrbaps dsad ; others
cursing horribly, and others bearing their
sufferings like heroes. Sunday evening I
rodo over part of the battle-ground. On
the ground where the enemy's battery had
boon placed tho night before, lay thirteen
dead horses, three men, two of them being
officers, pieces of harness, cut traces, and (
fragments of clothing. Ono of tho officers i
had hia head shot completely off, and it
was nowhere to be seen, and tho other was
shot in tho breast, aud his face wa3 so bo
grimed with powder as to bo unrccogniza
ble. Further along iu tho woods woro
dead men, horses, ruins of wagons, etc.
The enemy at tho foot of tho mountain
prevented us from inspecting further.
Yesterday (Monday) wc were engaged
in hurrying our dead and taking care of
tho wounded. Our total loss is about 1300.
Gen. Geary nud Col. Knipe, 40th I'a.,
aud many other distinguished officers have
been wounded. Crawford's Urigado loit
the most, as it was not supported till late
in the afternoon I can make no estimate
of the enemy's loss. Prisoners say that
after we silenced their battery tho Urigado
supporting it fell back in confusion, and
the Battery was left on tho field till near
daylight. The rebels have been reinforced,
and now have with them Generals Hill,
Ewell and Longstrcct. We have been
rciuforced by Generals Sigcl, King and
Burnsidc. The grand battle is yet to
coiuu off, and wo arc momently expecting
it. I will write you more particulars here
after. Yours.

Jesus tho Forerunner.
"Whether tho forerunuer is for us en
tered, even Jesus, made an high-priest for
ever, alter the order of Melchizcdck."
IlEUItEWS vi. 20.
Jesus, who came from heaven to earth
out of pure love to us, iu order to die for
our sins and procure our salvation, is gone
back to heaven as our forerunner. He
not only points out the way, but ho travels
every step of it himself. He has removed
every insurmountable difficulty out of the
way, aud left his own holy footprints to
be our guide. Can wc complain, if wc on
ly travel the path which Jesus has trodden
before us ! He has cutercd iuto heaven
for us, and when ho entered ho left the
door wide open, that wo might follow him
in. Ho points us to tho path he has trod
den, and says, "Sec, the way is practica
ble." He calls our attention to his pres
ent glorious residence, and says, ''Where
I am, there shall yo be also." Precious
Saviour I glorious Forerunner ! Oh, give
us grace to lollow thee; aud whenever
tempted to relax our efforts, or loiter on
our journey, or complain ot tuc way, may j
we remember that thou hast traveled ev
ery step of the way before u?, aud art now
waiting to welcome us into thy presence i
anu gloiy. Jesus is gone betore to an
nounce our arrival. He speaks of us as
on the road. He obtains for us the bles
sings we uccd. He scuds us all the sup
plies necessary. Chhist alo.sk could

eye fixed on thy glorious Forerunner, and
run tho race set before thee, looking unto
Jesus. Amidst all thy toils, think of the
rest; under all thu conflicts think of the
triumnh: and when tempted to turn asido. I

Tho Chronicles ol Abraham.
CIIAPTEll I.
1 . Now in tho first year of tho reign of
Abraham, surnatnod Old Abo (howbeit he
was not old), there was war in tho land.
2. And tho tribes of tho South, whose
ca,icr was ono jcf) gatl,orcd themselves
to thcr and camc ftml cnoampca over
against tho river of tho Potomac
!), Aud their armies wefe ontrcnehod
beyond the river, from the great sea, even
unto the mountains, which look on Man
assas ; a very great host.
1, And tho Xing, even Abraham, com
manded, and his armies camo together
from beyond the Capo which is called Cod
and 'down East,' unto tho far country of
the Kansas aud the Jayhawkors.
fi. All the tribes of tho North came forth
with their fighting men, under their cap
tains of hundreds and of thousands.
0. Footmen and hortcmen and engines
of war, and Simon, the war scribe, caused
tho ho-t to be numbered ; and their num
ber was scvon hundreds of thousand?, and
and seven thousand and sixty and two.
7. And therewith went much cattle, and
blue wagons laden with fine flour, aud fir
kins of all uienti, dried aud salted, molas
ses also and codfish.
8. Tobacco was there and whiskey, su
gar aud coffee aud white beans in great
superabundance ; nnd tho sign of the wag
on, and on the breastplates and upou the
banners was U. S.
0. And there was a very great host,
such as hath not been seen since the kings
of old went up to the battles.
10. And as tho vultures arc gathered un
to the carcasses, so there followed them
swarms of commissaries, and sutlers, and
contractors and divers oamp followers.
Greedy for spoil even as grasshoppers for
multitude.
11. Then came also money changers, aud
usurers, and brokers, who take pawns, and
others of the children of the horse-leech ;
and by these was the host deceived and
plundered, and tythed with sevenfold
lythes.
12. Also thesubstanco of those who abi
ded at home and were taxed, was cun
ningly oaten up by these devouring locusts,
who cried in their language, Hail Colum-
bia and Yankee Doodle, yet stinted not
from their spoil.
II). And tho armed men and the people
groaned.
CHAI'TER II.
1. And after many days the people
said, Why go not forth the hosts unto ihc
battle?
2, Lo these many months have we freely
given our gold and silver, our substance
aud the work of our hands.
3. Whilo our young men arc stricken
with the plague of the camp, falling as the
leaves before the wind, aud the earth fes
ters with tho dead of our kindred.
1. Our houses are made desolate, and
the voice ol lamentation is ucartl in our
dwellings.
5. The chief men and tho captains make
feasts, and aro joyous with wine ; thoy arc
fierce and haughty and their eyes stick out
with fatness. 1
0. Day by day aro the hosts placed in '
battle array, and tho captains and the!
chiet men ride before them on horses, gau
! PPcarahl and rejoicing iu their
lory.
7. J hay speak great swelling words, and
say, 'Who can withstand us in the day of ,
our wr.tth, when our cuoinios shall bo
swallowed up, as tho soa swallowcth up;
the drop of rain ?
8. Nevertheless, against tho enemy, not
a spear is uplifted, not a bow is drawn.
0, The baunors hang down upon tho
banner staffs, and the wren builds her nest
iu tho mouth of tlu trumpet.
10. Our chief city is bcleagurcd, and the
great rivers aro scaled against our ships.
11. Tho hosts of tho cnoiuy havo us in
derision. Thoy put out tho lip disdainful
ly and cry ' Como over to us yo Yankees,
who make merchandise of clocks, and carvo
gun-flints from horn, and are cuuniug in
nutmegs of basswood !
12, Show yourselves; and wo will givo
your flesh to tho buzzards of Fairfax j
and tho ha'vks of tho Old Domiuion shall
line their nests with your hair.
chapter hi.
1. Moautimo tho captains take tho rest,
and tho host goes not forth from the tents.
2, In tho morning the rcvi'eo is sound-
i cd, tho drums beat tho tattoo at night;
, to-morrow is as this day, nnd the months
pass liko a tale that is told.
fl. Thoy say, 'Wait yet thirty days and
yonr eyes shall see your great salvation.
-1, All tho makers of bhoddy gay, Aincnl
and tho contractors and the camp leeches
make hasto to spread a feajt boforo tho
enptains.
C. Tho armorers aro made glad in their
hearts, and the countcnanco of tho money
changers is lifted up,
CHAI'TER IV.
1. Yet is the great host seorctly disqui
eted, anl the people foam at tho mouth as
a war horso that champcth tho bit.
2. Then is doubt and fear and angor,
and men gather at tho corners of tho
strests.
3. Aud the chosen of the ohicf council
say uuto the captains : The people mur
mur, therefore toll us now, is thero indeed
to be unto you a day of battle ?
1. Aud the captaius lay tho finger on
tho mouth and say, shall wo open our lips
to the foo? shall tho enemy como into our
councils.
5. Listen, now, aud keep silence, lest a
bird of the air carry the matter.
0. The bust hath no Ha.miiods ? More
over, yet thirty days, and the Spring rains
shall loosen tho carrots, and a young child
can pluck up tho parmljiH.
7. Then shall tho long sares abound,
and our hearts being strengthened, the
enemy shall be scattered like the chaff of
the threshing floor.
8. So the wise men of t ho council were
appeased ; and they came forth and said
unto tho pcoplo, 'It is all right,' aud the
captains aro wiser than wo.
CHAI'TER V.
1. Hut tho people doubted. And they
said, tax us even to the latchcts of the
shoes ; and our silver and our gold are tho
rings, and our young men iu tho flower of
their strength.
2. Shall the rebel defy us forever, and
tho traitors laugh us to seoru?
U. Even now, they send embassadors
unto our enemy of old, and await tho com
ing of his ships of war.
1. And the people came together, as the
sea gathers its tide when tho whirlwind
rides on the waves.
5. And thoy said to Abraham, even the
king, stand forth !
0. Art thou not our ruler ? Wc have
lifted thee up from the dust, and have put
thco in tho seat of him in peace aud iu war
among our rulers.
7. We have placed in thy right hand
the sword of this great people, and havo
given to thy arm the sinews of their
strength.
8. Tho groat book of the Constitution
The Supremo Law, is before thee ; thou
hast sworn an oath to keep its mandates,
and walk iu its light
9. Turn asido for no man, black or
white; He, the rebel and traitor, is bo
foro thco ; for him alono is thy sword whet
ted. 10. Strike! subduo him; by the law,
according the law. In the strength of this

Wo sco it stated in tho city papors, that
"A deputation of Westojn gentlemen
waited upon tho President on Monday to
offqr two colored regiments from tho State
of Indiana. Two mcmbors of Congress
were of tho party. Tho President re
ceived them courteously, but stated to them
that ho was not prepared to go tho length
of enlisting negroes a3 soldiers. Ho would
employ all colored men offered as labor
ers, but would not promise to inako sol
diers of thorn. The deputation wont
away, satisGcd that it is tho determination
of tho Government not to arm negroes un
less somo new and moro pressing emer
gency arises. Tho President nrgued that
the nation could not afford to loso Ken
tucky at this crisis, and gavo it as his
opinion that, to arm the negroes would
turn fifty thousand bayonets from the loy
al Border States against us that wcro now
forus."
If tho President has made this decision,
ho has certainly acted wisely, and, if he
J openly avows it, aud adheres to it, uneoiii
l promisingly, in all tho future of tho war,
it will be one of tho best of his Union
movemcuts. But it is sad news for the
Frcmontcrs, and tho loaders of that stripe,
hereabouts, aro already gnashing their
teeth in rago about it. President Lincoln, I the road to despotism. It seems also to bo

John W. Forney The Retip.emfnt
of the Old Hat. Said this ingrate at a
meeting the other night, "Hetircd from
political life, I have devoted myself lo the
nation."
Precious hypocrite ! When Forney re
tired from political life, it must have been
like the old rat in the fable : "My dear
children," said the old rat to hU young
ones, "tho infirmities of age are pressing
so heavily upon mo, that I havo determin
ed to dedicate tho short remainder of my
days to mortification and penance in a
narrow aud lonely hole which I have lato
ly discovered ; but let mo not interfero with
your enjoyments ; youth is tho season for
pleasure. Bo happy, therefore, and only j-
obey my last injunction never to come j
near mo in my retreat. God bless you 1
all." Deeply affected, sniveling audibly,
and wiping his paternal eyes with his tail,
tho old rat withdrew, aud was seen no '
more for several days, when his youngost
daughter, moved rather by affection than !
curiosity, stolo to his coll of mortification,
which turned out to be a hole made by his j
own teeth in an enormous Cheshire cheese. ,

Grand Promotion.
An important honor has beou thrust up
on Justices of the Pcaco and Postmasters
during tho past week. Tho proclamation
makers at Washington havo issued an or
der from the War Department, transform
ing all sueli officers into Provost Mar
shall, for tho purpose of arresting and
returning fugitive officers and soldiers, for
which a fee of fivo dollars and expenses
are offered, as a reward fct tho return of
every such officer aud soldier to tho near
est military post. Wo do not exactly un
derstand how this c.v post facto inoveuionta
has been inaugurated.
No such powers or duties having been
contemplated when thoso officers woro
elected, or appointed, and both having been
denied the authority to arrest blade fugi
tives, wc cannot see how they can be com
pelled to spend their time in arresting while
fugitives, without due provisions made.
We aro not aware that Congress has ap
propriated any money to pay such officers,
and therefore do not know' how thoy can
obtain pay for such services, unless it is
contained in tho appropriation of 500,
000 for the secret service found.
It may be that this is another chapter
in the programme of tho "Irrepressible
Conflict," to advance us still further on
polling the municipal officers of tho State to
I astume duties devolving upon the General
1 Government.
The policy of such intermeddling wo do
not understand. However, wo havo no
doubt that somo of our '.fymYcs will con-
tider themselves highly honored in being
trantmografied into a Provost Marsoal,
after which they are cntitlod to have, as
servants, a Lieutenant, clerk, nnd an exe
cutioner all which may become indispen
sable, if the Napoleonic system is oontiu

his views of tho modo of conducting tho

him to go into the war, becauso ho would
