WAR TNcinENrn-

gentleman who arrived by the Central train
yesterday afternoon, having left the neighborhood
of Aqua CreekOn Tuesday informs US that the bat
terry there opened fire on Federal war steamer
that morning, sending several shots amer The
effect is not positively known though it is believed
that one or more of the shots took effect Five
other steamers, which had been laying higher up
the river, fastened to her relief, but we were I'M
able to learn whether or not they took any part in
the acton. We have received some information as
to the operations Of forces at important point
on the Potomac, which prudence forbids US to men
ton at this time.
The Central train brought down twenty-five
"Union" men, who constituted portion of the
"Home Guard" of Hardy county, Virginia They
were captured by the ROekbridge Cavalry on the
2lst of August, and have since that time been in
prison at Monterey. A more ragged dirty, grace
less set we never ssW-gOod specimens, however,
of the Union" men of the Northwest. One of
them declared himself an out-and-out Secessionist
and seemed to think he had been captured through
mistake. The prisoners were arraigned before
Gen. Winder, and thence transferred to the usual
place of refuge.
From our army on the Potomac there is nothing
OF especial interest The pickets INDUCED in good
deal OF firing on Tuesday morning, but, so far as
we could learn, without effect on either side.
Several improved ambulances are about to be
sent to Gen FlOyd's command. They are substan-
tial vehicles, and each has two water casks underS
meath; fastened by iron straps.

WHAT LINCOLN IS DOING IN NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
1t seems to be clear that the Lincoln Government
has organized a new United States District Court
in Northwestern Virginia appointing some traitor
in place Of Judge Brockenbrough and that this
Court has instructed its grand jury to indict and
they have accordingly indicted, several hundred
worthy citizens of that region for treason Among
these thus branded as traitors By the abominable
Lincoln dynasty, we may mention the venerable |
Gen. 7. S Raymond Of Marion county. who is now |
n this city, and number Of other refugees from |
hat section. Col W. J, Wiley is also under the |
IAN So, also, are many worthy and leyal Yirgiu- |
ans, whose circumstances would not allow them |
% leave home. These cases call with loud voice /
lpon the Confederate Government to do all in its i
power to extend its authority that portion Of
,pr State. Let Roseerans, Reynolds, and their
blowers, aiders, and abetters, be expelled by a |
powerful army and the true men be enabled to feel

Hon. James Guthrie. President of louisville ana
Nashville Railroad Company.
SIR: 1t is my purpose to reopen the traffic which
has been recently suspended by direction of the
President of the United States. snch portions of
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad as may be
under the control of the forces under my command,
and also to re-establish the running of the
regular passenger trains. The counties
through which this railway passes are largely
interested IN its stock, and are charged with
heavy burdens to pay the interest the debt which
they have contracted in the construction of the
road. The cessation of this traffic under the orders
Of the President, was an act of injustice to the
people, who were already sufficiently taxed; for
II deprived the citizens of these counties of the
very means relied upon to pay the largely increased
taxation demanded by the policy of the Govern
ment As far as rests in my power propose to
secure to the people of these counties their Just
rights in this respect by permitting the traffic on
the road to continue it existed before the illegal
interference of the President
With this view have possessed myself of q con-
siderable portion Of the rolling stock Of the road,
and now propose to you that. as President of the
company, you continue the management of the
PORTION Of the road within the limits of the influence
of the forces under my command, and conduct it,
rs before the existence CT the war in the interest
Of the people who are interested in its stock. l
propose that you will continue your agents and
employees, with the single restriction that they
shall be men who are not inimical to the interests
Of the people Of these countless and that the stock
holders shall enjoy all the benefits to which
their railroad charter entities them. In or
der TO secure the rights of the stockholders, 1
have directed an account to be kept of the earn
ings and expenses of the road including the amount
TO which the company will be entitled for trans
porting troops under my orders. This account will
be rendered to you and the balance paid over, on
the single condition that it shall be applied
to the purposes contemplated by the charter.
If the proposition should be declined l propose
transferring the rolling stock to such agents may
be appointed by the counties through which the
road passes This will insure an equitable distri-
button Of the property of the road in the interest
of the stockholders
mn, sir, very respectfully, your ob't servant

The sons of Tennessee could not rally under q
