WAR ITEMS.
reported Ha,,le i'm Western VIRGIN


mant left on Monday, and although be is unable t
give all of the particulars, there can be questio
as to the truth regarding the battle and the victC
ry.
1t appears that the two regiments above name
had been ordered to dislodge a small body of Sc
cesSionists, who had intrenched themselves som
miles from GaGley Bridge, aud while on their wa
to the place designated, attacked by FiOyd
with two thousand five hundred men,
The United States troops formed quickly, ant
commenced such deadly fire. that the Confederate
were soon thrown into confusion, and fed from tn
held, leaving large number of dead and wounded
The pursuit was kept up long practicable
when the fugitivcs threw aside their arms, in grea
numbers, and sought mountain paths and trail
through the forests, until they were safe.
About two hundred and eighty prisoners were
taken, and large quantity Of baggage and equip
ments fell into the hands of our troops. The Con
tederates oulnumbered US in the start, by at least
one-third, and their complete rout evinces the su
perioTity Of our soldiers over theirs, in open
field Our loss was triting
when it is considered that the Government has
published the substance of kilograms received from
General Rosecrans, many days posterisr to the
period assigned to the above described battle, in
which no mention is made of it, and that Gen. Cox
has daily communication with the War Department,
the fact that no report of so important success
has been officially given to the world, must be sui-
cient to place it among the canards of the day.
From Special Cor. Philadelpsia North american.
| WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Government is de-
| termiued to put stop to the secession cockades
and other emblems which have been so unblush-
! nglg exhibited in Baltimore for months past, and
those found wearing them in future will be arrested
| as traitors against the government.
| Thus the honor of inocuating the vice police
with the colorphobia is transferred from General
Dix and Marshal Dodge, to whom it was supposed
to belong, to nober powers.
President Jefferson Davis
Mr.. John W. Forney, of the Philadelphia Press,
thus speaks of the character and accomplishments
of the Southern President. We believe the Press
has in this particular spoken the simple truth ex
cept in so far it the death of the dis
tinguished gentleman referred to-
The intelligence of the death of Jefferson Davis
seems to be confirmed. When Stephen A. DOUGLAS
was called away, fendish exutation was exhibited
In manv OF the secession papers. The malionity
with which they punished his independence suryi-
we'd his death and rioted over his grave. Let US
set better example, now that the great leader of
the secession tyranny has been summoned before
the eternal bar. He was an imperious and positive
public He rarely surrendered an opinion
once formed until he degraded himself by throwing
behind him his voluntary professions in favor of
the Union. he was a close student, a chivaric Op-
ponent steadfast friend gentleman in all bis
relations, and in his own family singulsrly kind
and genial. Although undoubtedly the head and
the heart of the Southern rebellion, be went into
II uctan+iy, as all who heard his last speech in
the Senate will remember, when with broken ac-
cents and fearful be bade farewell at once to
that body and to all his real greatness. Jefferson
Davis was blessed with many accomplishments
lie was alike a soldier and statesman. No
public man OF my acquaintance more de- |
voted to scientific pursuits and familiar with
the abstruse teachings of political philosophy. No
branch of human knowledge seemed to be unwor- |
thy OF his nvesdg alton. He equally attentive
to classical literature, to the details of military life
tp tbae
men, and if Professor Bache, of the Coast Survey |
could speak, M would say Of the fine work, OF |
which be is the accomplished head, and which has |
latterly proved It's unconquerabIe usefulness that
Jefferson DAVIS was conversant with the smallest
ninutin of that noble institution as any other man
not directly connected with it. He passionate
iy devoted to the Smithsonian Institution, OF which
he a Regent in former times He devoted him
self t" the decoration of this capital and stood by
Captain (now Genera) AIeigs in all his efforts to
construct the water works. to finish the capitol
building on the grandest scale, and to push for
ward the extensions OF the Interior and Treasury
tary of War, and in this high office nothing so
much delighted him to take young men by the
hand, ard when worthy, to advance them. If he
educated Beauregard to destroy the Republic, be
many advantages upon Mcclellan to save
1t. 1T he assisted Lee and Johnston, and thus
their hands for ioiury against the
tag, he greatly favored Meigs and Franklin.
