Capt. IV. W..IV AIA ER's company - is attach=

turnpike in the vicinity of Sharpshurg.—
Citizens from this place, who visited their
camp, say that the officers and men were well
and in fine spirits.
'The Battle Reltl.—Many persona from
this place and neighborhood have been pass
ing to and from the battle field, in Washing
ton county, during the past week. Up to
Sunday last the soldiers were still engaged in
burying the Rebel-dead. Every house and
barn in the vicinity of the bats ground is
said to be filled with the wounded. They,
Of course, need great attention, and it is cer
tainly the duty of citizens within bounds to
extend what aid they can to alleviate.' the
sufferings of these wounded patriots. The
soldier's Relief Society, of this place, have
hren preparing and forwarding lint, bands=
ges, etc. ,The society will thankfully receive
and promptly forward lint, bandages or deli
cacies furnished h • ersons in town or coun

rive te One.—We conversed with Mr. E .
iliresnEW, ,Merchant, of York Springs, Ad
ems county, on Tuesday, formerly of Ring
' gold, Md.„ who was at Gen. McClellan's
Bead Quarters during Wednesdyy. of last
week, and was on the ground thalr evening;
and remained there several days; thoroughly
canvassing the whole battle ground.lirom
what he could , observe he gives it as fiis o
pinion that five rebels were killed in the en
rngement to one Union soldier. We have
t,:nce conversed with others, both from this_
rine° and Hagerstown, who were over the
ground. Soule put the rebel killed at four,
ethers five to one of our soldierß. We make
this statement because several of the more
prominent rebel sympathisers here have been
stictking an effort to produce the impression
that the rebel loss did not exceed Chat of the
I.7nion arrisy. Too i many'eitizens yore otter
Oat battiii:fieid for these spitted traitors to
' an impression in favor of their rebel
brethren
A Fredc . riek I:wide:pt.— When the Rebels
had possession of Frederick, a correspondent
c,t_ the Inquirer says that four ladies from
.Eniniitsburg, one of them said to be a daugh
ter of Dr. Shorb, rode in a barouche into
Frederick, attired in dresses of red and white
wearing Secesh turbans upon their heads,
and carrying in their hands4he flag of the
Rebel States. Thus decorated they drove
around the town, part of the time stan
ding up in the carriage, cheering and kiss
ing their flags to the Rebel officers turd
soldiers upon the streets.
rir Orders have been telegraphed fr(Ori ihe ,

lives and their fortunes to make us what we
are. We have forgotten the cost of the
great blessings bestowed upon us; and, like
the spendthrift heir, have commenced squan

to profit by lessons of the pasty unhoeiing

has burst upon us in all its fur 4. Truly, the
chastening hour has come—the day of retri

can bear; and, pass the ordeal as we may, we
shall be so, scathed by the lightning, and
stunned by the thunders of this civil strife;

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Sept, 23.—Information 'received here to-flay
from a servant who deserted from the rebels
yesterday shows that their losses in general
officers in the late battle was greater , than at
first supposed.
General Height, of Georgia, was wounded
-in two plied; General Branch, of Borth
Carolina, was killed; General •Longstreet was
wounded; Major General Anderson, comman
ding a division, was wounded, and General
Celquit, of Georgia was killed.
The rebels admit their loss to be 20,000
at the battle of Antietam, - and 30,000 since
they entered Maryland! The Alabama brig
ade, commanded by Colonel Corning, acting
Brigadier General, has not been able to mut- -
tor 50 men since the battle!

ClikeciErr PiTlstrefit. He has been en

-tensive iron monger of - this eounty, near the
Maryland line, in a township called -,Quincy.
He served ati hit.. head. clerk. ;He acquired
notoriety as the man who arrested (in cam
pally with Daniel Logan, a celebrated negro
cather) Cook, the copartner and confrere of
John Brown. Cook' had escaped, and, talc=
ing the mountainous ranges, had kept them
until he had gotten within the lineenf this
State. 'Fitzhugh met. him when Cook, ex
hausted for want of. food, ventured down
from the mentitains,. to-leek. it. Meeting
Fitzhugh, he gave him' the. Masonic sign,
which• the latter 'retUrned.
Cook at once entered into .eonve.rsatioil,
and told him who he *us, and his condition,
asking for relief. Fitzhugh told him to
come with him; Logan, at. a given sign from
Fitzhugh, siez.ed Cook , from•behind, and be
ing a powerful man, b.e.beld Cook Ist. The
latter, a very nervous, adtiretrian, ,who had
hunted, Bemired and fought Missouri border
ruffians in Kansas, resisted desperately, and
would have eluded even Logan's grasp had
not Fitzhugh interfered with them. The
force of two. athiletic men•was toe great. for
Cook, and he was, brought hither, taken td
jail, remanded by Governor Packer to Vir
ginia, and hang.
Logan is said to have often told as a good
joke among his companions, in boonmoments
that Cook had said to him and Fitzhugh that,
he knew-he would die, bat that they would'
end their days. upon the' scaffold. This
seems likely to become true. Fitzhugh is
now incarcerated, and.is not. a prisoner of
war. Logan is now under arrest, and, if jus
tice be done, will be retained and tried, if
nofrfor treason, most probably for high crimes
and misdemeanors. Cook may have prophe
sied truly.
