Our forces encountered the enemy in con siderable strength at a place called Lab adieville, and defeated them after a brisk fight, and a brilliant display of general ship on the part •of Gen. Weitzel. Two hundred of the enemy were killed, wounded and taken prisoners, and one piece of artillery was captured. The Reb els.were Pursued in the direction of Ber wiik's Bay, where Gov. Moore was sup paid to di. Gen. Butler had paid a visit of courtesy to the French war-steam er Wind, and the usual interchange of civilities took place on the occasion. Prom Gin. BUrnside's, army we learn that on Friday morning, While the 2d Di vision of the 9th Corps, under Gen. Stet.- gilt, were passing from Sulphur Springs to Fayetteville, at a point about four miles from the latter place, a Rebel battery opened upon the column from an eleva tion on the opposite bank of the river.— The attack was sudden, and rapid firing ensued from a 20-pound gun and several of lighter caliber. Capt. Derek's Penn sylvania battery, which was passing at the time, was placed in position, and re plied to the Rebels. The artillery duel lasted for more than two hours, when the Rebels withdrew, and the column contin ued its watch to Fayetteville. Gen. Burnside has issued a general or der dividing the army under his command into three grand divisions, named respec tively the Right, Left and Center Grand i Divisions. Thu first, consisting of the First and Sixth Corps; will bo command ed by Gen. Franklin, and the third, con sisting of-the Third and Fifth Corps, will be commanded by Gen. Hooker. In. ad-' elision to these there will be a Corps or Reserve, consisting of the eleventh Corps and such other troops as may hereafter be assigned to it, under command of Gen. Sigel. The.

Gov. Brown re news Ole call for negroes to complete the fortifications. If they aro not furnished promptly they will be impressed. We learn from Washington that Gen. Sazton's negro brigade has recently met with brilliant successes, having had three fights during which they took a numb& of prisoners and captured twenty slaves. Several 'extensive saltworks in Florida and Georgia were destroyed. The Reb els were badly beaten, and in retreating destroy lid an immense quantity of ,prop erty. A dispatch from La Grange, Tennes see, 14th Inst., says that five regiments of Rebel cavalry advanced from Lumpid's Mills to within two miles of Holly Springs. Skirmishing commenced add continued for some time. The rebels lost,six killed and seven commissioned officers were cap tured.

John Morgan manufactured fifty thousand dollars of the shinplasters at Lexington in a single day, and circu lated it among the people, and we under stand the form upon which he printed a largo batch at Danville is still standing at the Zribune office in that town.— What a beautiful currency our rebels would give us! The 12th District, (Luzerne and Sus quehanna)) Ont about 5,000 volunteers to the army, and yet the Democrats polled at the late election 1,777 votes more than at the Presidential election in 1860, and the Republicans 2,057 less. ' This no ccunts for Grow's defeat, and is another proof that the men who vote the butter nut ticket are not the men who fight for their country. F. Montgomery, late editor of the Vicksburg Whig, who recently made his escape from the South, is stumping Illi nois for the "Abolitionists." Parson Brownlow and Senator Wright are in the same business. The Hon. Jo. Holt, of Kentucky, has written a letter to MlAMl chusetts in favor of the Abolition party. The Rev. Mr. Carter, of Tennessee, and Colonel Hamilton, of, Texas, are speak ing in New York on the same side of the question. Strange, isn't it ?or is it?

Shall it be to put down the Federal Gov' - ernmeni This is for you to determine!

Per sonally, I am fot a strong central govern ment. No government can exist long without a central force. * * This Union prospered well until the Abolition lets came into power, who are now striving to make it a military tyranny.

Either we must conquer the South, or we must make peace with them. _lime con. quer the South, and annex their fam ished territories to ours, there is an end to this Union, because the Union no longer exists as a Union of sovereign States.

If the States do not save us, we are gone. Well, we should there fore cultivate our State pridd:" Ingersoll denies baying used the ex press language here set down, but does not exactly state what be did say. TREASON, THREE STORIES Ilion.-- Nyherever you find a. rabid,Breekinridger or traitor at heart, you can most likely trace his origin to tories of Revolutionary times. In 1777, Jarod Ingersoll, was arrested as one who was opposed to the liberties of America, and was afterwards rewarded by the British for his treachery. In later years, Charles. J. Ingersoll, son of the above, over his own name, in a newspaper of he day, said, that if be had lived in the time of the revolution; he mould have been a tory. Charles Ingersoll, the grandson —r Chairman of the Democratic jubilee in Philadelphia last week, said in his speeeli: j "To what advantage are we to turn our success. One of the first things is the. iputting down the Federal Governmeut."' There we have the treason of that fam ily, three stories high.—Montour Amer. ican. [For-the Journal.] ULYSSES ACADEMY. MR. EDITOR :—The above Institution, as your readers are well aware, is situated in ono of the most inviting localities in this portion of the State. As one stands upon the eminence upon which the Acad emy is situated, he sees the village in its quietness lying at his feet, while around it hills gently rise until the grand, old forest shuts in the scone, as if to guard It from the storms and tumults of the outer world. It is within such a seques tered spot , that the Ulysses Academy opens its portals to those who long to quaff refreshing draughts from the peren nial fountains of Knowledge. Here the disciples of Minerva may listen to her teachings, and while they listen feel their souls enkindle with high and noble pur poses and heaven-born aspirations. The present term of this Institution has been one of unusual prosperity and it has suffered less from the pressure of the"times" than its most sanguine friends could have expected. This success is doubtless attributable to the ability with which it has been conducted. The Literary Society connected with the Institution held a public session in the Chapel on Friday evening last. The exercises of the evening were of a highly interesting character. The pieces rebell ed were so happily varied that the atten tion of the audience Was retained, until a late hour. We might notice a number of the students individually who were: espe cially deserving commendation for their finished productions and natural delivery, hit we forbear. The musical part of the exercises was of a high order, especially the anthem, "See what 'manner of love," which was sung as the opening piece of the'evening ; also a solo "There's a good time coming," and one or two quartettes, called fort the general applause. We would commend this Institution to the attention of all who are interested in the cause of education, as it affords the youth of this county the facilitieki for the acquire. went of a thorough and finished education. J. EASTER. Ulysses, Nov. 12, 1562. The Harper's Ferry Loss. The surrender of Harper's Ferry in September, involved the loss of 14,000 Union Soldiers, (equil to our gains et Fort Donelson,) and also of vast amounts of the very arms and ammunition with which the Rebels helped slay our men at Antietam ! More than that—it gave the Rebels the best open gate way from the trap in "which they had got themselves by their invasion of Maryland. In every respect, than, it was the worst, most con temptible, and most ruinous disaster, to us, of the whole War. - The Government so regarded it, and accordingly appointed a Commission of eminent military men, of both parties, to investigate the whole af fair. This Court of Inquiry was com• posed as follows : Maj.-Gen. D. Hunter, U. S. A. of Vols., President. Maj.-Gen. Geo. Cadwallader, U. S. A. of Vols. Brig.-Gen. C. C. Augur, U. S. A. of Vole. Major Don.Piatt, A. A. G. of Vols. Capt. F. Ball, A. D. C. of Vols. Col. Jos. Holt, Judge-Advocate Gen. These gentlemen met, patiently and fearlessly probed the whole grevious wound, and have just made a lengthy repert. The material facts are as follows : Col. Miles was in command at Harperts Ferry. Gen. White was present from Sept. 12 till the surrender, but did not_ assume command. Col. Ford took command of Maryland Eights Sept. 5. Gen. M'Clel land left Washington for Rockville Sept. 7, most of hie forces having preceded him. The enemy attacked Maryland flights on the morning 'of Sept. 13. The 126th New York (losing their Colonel) broke and fled, and the breastwork on the hill was lost. Col. Miles was on Maryland Heights that evening for some hours con sulting with Col. Ford. He left between 11 and 12 o'clock, without directly order ing Col. Ford to evacuate the Rights, but with instructions to spike his guns if com pelled to abandon. About 2 o'clock, Col. Ford abandoned the Rights. The enemy did not occupy them, and the next day Col. I)'Utassy sent over four companies, who brought away four guns and a wag onload of amunition.• After the evacuation of Maryland Heights, Col. Miles sent word to Gen. M'Clellan, then at Frederick City, that unless reenforced, he could not hold out 48 hours. Gen. M'Clellan thereupon dis patched a messenger to Gen. Franklin, who was engaged with the enemy at Crampton's Gap, wholly unable to give the needed assistance, or to give it in time. Gen. M'Cler.an appears to have made no other effort to relieve the be leagured stronghold. The enemy attacked Harper's Ferry itself on the morning of the 15th, and at 8, A. M., the surrender was agreed on, Col. Miles representing to the brigade commanders whom he consulted that his ammunition was nearly exhausted, and they concurring in decision to surrender. The Commission acquit Gen. White, col. D'Utassy, and Col. Trimble of all blame for the surrender, and praise the capacity and courage of the former.— They find that Col. Ford was given, by, Col. Miles, discretionary power to aban don Maryland Heights, but that the ex ercise of this discretion was premature; that he conducted the defence with no ability, and that his exhibition of lank of capacity was such as to disqualify him for a command. Col. Miles is convicted of incapacity and criminal neglect especially, in neg lecting to fortify and hold Maryland heights, the key of the position, and the evidence stated in the report concerning his communications with the Rebels is such as to raise strong suspicions of treachery also. Gen. Wool is gravely censured for keeping so incapable an officer as . Col. Miles in command. Concerning Gen. M'Clellan the evi dence adduced in the report, and the opinion expressed by the Commission, are most direct and damaging. The General in-Chief testifies that Gen. M'Clellan, af ter receiving orders to drive the enemy from Maryland, marched on an average of only six miles a day in pursuit, and that in his opinion, he both could and should have relieved and protected Har per's Ferry; and in this opinion the Com mission fully conour. There will be no complaint, against this report, of whitewashing. Its array of facts, and its logical conclusions upon them, are impregnable. The country will gratefully recognized the courage and just severity with which the Commission,while awarding due censure to inferior officers, has declared that the shame of the sur render of Harper's Ferry rest chiefly on Gen. M'Clellan. For, if he had moved with decent swiftness, he would have raised the siege, or would have taken the enemy in detail, with the Potomac divid ing his forces. Late California papers state that sugar and syrup from the Chinese cane, and a better article than the imported, has been made in considerable quantities in the State. Cotton in Kansas has ripened perfectly this year, producing a heavy crop of good staple upland cotton ; and it was not grown by the aid of slave labor. The faction of the Democracy wbo sym pathize with the Rebels, are known in Ohio as IcVallandlgbaroniers," in Illinois, "guerillas," in Missouri "butternuts," in Kansas "jay-hawkers," in Kentucky "bushwackers,"in Indianaucopperheads," and in Pennsylvania "Hughesites." • JOHN BROWN AND JUL DAI7/50- John Brown Invaded the State of 'fir= gioia with a small band of firmed men, was arrested, ' imprisoned, tried, eon• damned and executed, and all the people said amen.
