The Russian Despatch.

We print this morning the despatch from
the representative of the Russian Govern
ment, GoRTsCHACoFF, read to Mr.. LINCOLN
and the Secretary of State on the 9TH inst.
The leading organs of the Washington usur-
patton have congratulated the North upon
this expression nf sentiment on the part of
the CAR, as an indication OF his sympathy
with the cause of the North. 1t is manifest,
however, that the despatch was read to the
heads of the Northern Government simply as
the representatives of the Union {; and was
not designed as an expression OF the ENPBR-
os's opinion as to the justice Of their cause.
The despatch very carefully refrains from
taking sides with either party to the contro-
versy: but at the same time it gives the Fed
eraI Administration some friendly advice,
which, had it come sooner, and been aecep-
ted and acted on, might have done much to
mt off the issue of disuniOn and war. 1t
would be we'll for Mr.. LINCOLN and Mr..
SEWARD, now that issue is upon the country,
TO heed thi. portion of the EAPERoR's coun-
sci. The struggle" says he, (which un-
happily has just arisen can neither be indefi-
nitely prolonged, nor lead to the total de-
.truction of one of the parties Sooner or
later, it will be necessary 10 come to sose setie-
zsent. whatsoever it may be, which may
cause the divergent interests now actually
in conflict to co-exist." The sooner this ''set-
element is "cOme to- the better it will be
for the North. The Federal Government
should at once dismiss the idea that the
divergent interests now actually in conflict"
can ever again "co-existn in and under the
same government; aud gracefully yield to a
fate il cannot avert, the separation of the
Union into two Governments.

General Rosecrans' Omcial Report.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The following
Gen. Rosecrans' official report:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The following is
Gen. Rosecrans' official report:
CAMP SCoTT, Sept. IL, P. N.
To Col. e. d. Zoarnsesd
We yesterday marched seventeen and half
miles, reached the enemy's intrenched posi-
ton in front OF Confx Ferry, driving bis out
posts and pickets before u.s. We found him
occupying a strongly intrenchad position,
covered by forest too dense to admit it
being seen at a distance of 300 yards. His
force was five regiments, besides the one
driven in.
At three O'Clock we began a strong recon-
noissance, which proceeded to such length
that we were about to assault the position on
the flank and front, when night coming on.
our troops being completely exhausted, we
drew them out of the woods and posted them
in the order of battle behind ridges, immedi-
ately in front of the enemy's position, where
they rested on their arms till morning.
Shortly afterwards. runaway contraband
came in and reported that the enemy had
crossed the Gauley during the night, by
means of the ferry and bridge which they
had completed. Col. Ewing was ordered to
take possession of the camp, which he did
about seven o'clock, capturing few prison
ers, two stand of colOrs, considerable guam
tity of arms, with quartermaster's stores
messing and camp equipage.
The enemy have destroyed the bridge
across the Gauley, which here rushes through
deep gorge, and our troops being still much
fatigued, and having no material for immedi-
ately replacing the bridge, it was thought
prudent to eneamp the troops, and occupy
the ferry and captured camp, sending few
rifled cannon shots after the enemy, to pro-
duce a moral effect
Our loss will probably amount to twenty
killed and one hundred wounded. The enc
my's loss has not been ascertained, but from
reports, it must have been considerable.

To the People of the Fifth Congress
ional District.

As you will be required, on the first We'd
nesddy in Norersber nezt, to elect member to
the first Confederate Congress, under the per-
manent Constitution, and as it may be ex-
pected by some that will be q candidate, l
think it proper now to state that will not
be before you for that position. Having de-
termined to become a candidate before the
Legislature for one of the two Senators they
will have to select, think it improper to as
pire to the other Office, which would only
fill in contingency.
This, however, will not interfere with the
full service to which you have heretofore
called me in the Provisional Congress. Ny
labors in that position will be resumed at the
adjourned session on the third Monday In
November.
/ shall ever remember with the liveliest
emotions of gratitude, the high compliment
bestowed upon me by you, on the first day
of August last, in the unanimous vote by
which you elected me as your representative
in the Provisional Congress.
1t may not be Inappropriate to say to you
here that the more intimate and familiar ac-
quaintance / have derived from the high po-
sition your confidence and partiality assigned
me, of our men and measures, has but in
creased and strengthened my confidence in
the ultimate success of our cause. Indeed,
it would be sin to doubt, after the many
evidences we have already had of the Divine
favor.
Wise counsels, brave hearts, and constant
reliance upon Heaven, will secure our indie
pendence and open before us field Of happi-
ness and prosperity that has fallen. to the lot
of but few nations on earth.

Brief speech of General Mcclellan

Brief Speech Oh General McCIellans
The telegraph announces that General Nc
Clellan, in his report of the townsville Skin
mish, says that there will be no more Bull
Runs On the occasion of the visit of the
President. Secretary of War, and Gov. Curtin
of Pennsylvania, to the encampment, on Tues
day, the following scene ensued, and the fol-
lowing neat little speech was made by Gen.
Mcclellan, a report of which we find in the
correspondence of the New York Herald:
The troops were allowed to crafty their
desire to shake hands with General McClel-
Ian, and the General, desiring to become &C
quainted with his men, and to have them
know him, gratifled them, and the liveliest
of scenes were enacted. The President, Cab
met, Governors, and even the ladies, were
lost sight of. General Mcclellan never took
an officer by the hand at the expense of
private. He talked little, bowed to each
man, and looked him straight in the eyes.
Each man had something cheering to say to
the General. One man said, General, we
are anxious to wipe out Bull Run; hope you
will allow us to do it soon? Very soon, if
the enemy does not run, 'swas the prompt
response.
At last Capt Barker, of the Chicago Caval-
ry corps, composing the escort, appealed to
the troops not to crowd the General too hard
or shake his hand too much, as before he
slept he had a long way to travel, and much
writing to do with the hand they were shak
ing. He promised, if they would fall back,
that the General would say a few words to
them. They instantly complied, when the
General, removing his hat, spoke as follows:
SUBMISSIVE have had our last retreat
we have seen our last defeat. You stand by
me, and will stand by you, and heneeforth
victory will crown our efforts.

The Cincinnati GmnsTeal publishes dis
match from st. Louis stating that Gen. FRE-
MONT has not been superseded. 1t appears,
however. that the President of the United
States objects to bis proclamation and has
issued an order modifying it. The following
is an extract from LINCoLN's letter to FRE-
MONT on the subject
On seeing your proclamation of the 30th
of August perceive several objections to 1t,
the particular objection being the clauses re-
IatiVe to the confiscation of property and the
liberation of slaves. 1t is Objectionable on
account of its non-conformity TO the act of
Congress. On the 9Th of August last wrote
you expressing wish that that clause should
be modified. Your answer expressed q pre-
ference that should make an open order for
the modification, which l cheerfully do.
1t is therefore ordered, that the said clause
be modified, held and construed to conform
to and not transcend the provisions in the
act of Congress, entitled, an act to confscate
property used for insurrectionary purposes,
and that said act be published at length,
with this order. A. LINCOLN.
OLD ABE evidently does not intend to per-
NIT any one except himself to play the Dicta-
tor.

DRAFTING SoLDIERs.-The New York papers
are beginning 10 discuss the necessity and ex-
pediency of resOriing TO drafting to procure
the requisite number of soldiers. Eulistments
are very tardy in the Eastern States, and
some of the Western, for that matter. Sever
al weeks ago the Governor of New York call
ed for rs 600 volunteers. But up to this time
not half that number have signed enlistment
rolls. The New England States are all tardy.
None of them are furnishing half that are
needed and expected. Pennsylvania is not
doing her duty by any means, and Ohio is
tagging behind, and has not half the troops
in the field that she should have.
The same thing is true of Michigan, Wis
consin, and Minnesota. Illinois is raising
more troops than any other State-more than
even New York or Pennsylvana-but it is
doubtful whether she will have her iull quota
in the field by October first, at which time
the half million called for by Congress early
in July last, should be under arms.
The Rebels resorted to drafting long ago,
what whopperil and thereby have been
able to put in the field larger army than the
Government. Why should our side refrain
from drafting, when it is found that volun-
teering will not supply men fast enough No
loyal man, If drafted, will refuse to serve or
find q substitute. We have q quarter Of q
million of troops in camp, aud should have
half . million. Let there be no hesitation on
the part of the Government to call on each
State for its full quota of soldiers Let the
President designate the number each State
must furnish, and If they are not forthcoming
one way they will another. The quota for
this State is forty-6ve thousand; bus let the
Government Ok It at dfty thousand, and they
viii b. quickly forthcoming Chicago Zfibxns.

TT General BUCKNER, of Kentucky, pub
lished a statement in the Union and American,
of Sunday, in relation to his Interview with
General MCCLELLAN and President LINCOLN,
which completely exposes the bad faith with
which they have treated the position of neu-
trality assumed by the State of Kentucky
1t seems, from this publication, that General
MCCLELLAN was disposed to respect Ken
tucky's position, but LINCOLN never was-
We anticipated this from the outset, and have
believed that The Union leaders of that State
had been operating, all the while, to forward
the aims of the President, which were to OBJ
serve the neutrality until he could violate it
with impunity, or until ii became his interest
to occupy the State with hostile force
That time has now arrived, and we see that
the neutrality is violated and set at naueht.
We shall see, as the consequence, that Ken
lucky neutrality was never anything but a
trick to deceive the people, and being un5e-
ceived, they will take sides in the struggle ga
their feelings are with the abolition fanaticjsm
of the North or the rights of the South, with
the despotism at Washington, or the freedom
and independence of the glorious Southern
Confederscy. We shall further see that. in
stead of removing the battle-ground from the
soil of Kentucky, the hypocriey and bad faith
displayed by the supporters of LINCOLN, will
call the brunt of it down with ten-fold fierce
ness upon their own heads.
LRceLs troops have been mastering in
Kentucky for two months, more or less. Ten
nessee and the Confederate States have borne
it long and patiently. Now, we say, "lei
slip the dogs Of war;" AZ

An Omfs.ton.

The Leesburg Mirror adverts to an omis-
sion in Gen. Beauregard's report of the bat
tie at Bull Run, which does Injustice to
injustice was designed. The papers may do
something to correct it, and we therefore
copy the following remarks from the Mirror :
I'VE have been led to these observations by
reading the official reports of. Gems. Beaure-
gard and Longstreet, in regard to the battle
of Bull Run. on the 18th of July. The re-
port of the former is of course made up in
part of that of the latter; in both, honorable
mention is made of the CALAMITY displayed
on that day by Capt. Mayre, of the Alexan-
dria Rifles. Far be it from US 10 endeavor to
pluck from the brow OF Capt. Mayre one bud
of the chapiet thus woven for him. We
doubt not that it was well won and worthily
bestowed. But why designate Capt Mayre
TO the exclusion OF Others? Side by side with
the Alexandria Rifles in the charge where
they won the laurels so gracefully acknowI-
edged by the commanding Generals were the
Louioun Guard, Captain Head, wh ., as we
learn from those who participated in the
struggl-, were in the thickest OF the fight
throughout the day. The Loudoun Guard
and the Alexandria Rifles were the only
companies that that day crossed Bull Run
the Rifles lost one man killed, the Guard
three severely wounded seven prison.
ers were taken in the engagement, the Gaurd
captured five of them. These are given to
US as facts connected with the work of the
18th, and surely entitle the stern boys of
Loundoun to some cousideration-certainly
do not warrant the inference of the official
reports, that they were not there. Glory has
been defined by one to be shot in battle and
have your name mis- spelled in print, but that
is not quite as bad as not to be mentioned at
all. Let honor be awarded where honor be-
Disqualification are always distasteful."

DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED MAN.-Hon.
Willie P. Mangum, of North Carolina, died at
his residence iu Orange county, in that State,
on the 10Th Inst, at an advanced age. For
some years he had suffered with paralysis,
and it is probable that the recent death of his
only son, from wound received on the field
of Manassa, depressed his spirits to point
from which he could not rally. Mr.. Mangum
was once Judge of the Superior Court of
North Carolina, and afterwards represented
the State in both branches of the United
States Congress. On the death of President
Harrison, and the installation of Mr.. Tyler as
President, Mr.. Msngum was chosen to pre-
side over the Senate, and for the remainder
of the term was virtually the Vice President
of the United States. He was a man of bril-
liant attachments, an eloquent orator, and
the possessor Of those private virtues which
endeared him to his neighbors and friends.
The North Carolina Legislature, on receiving
intelligence Of his death, passed suitable re-
solutions of respect to his memory.

The SICK AND WOUNDED AT ALLEGHENY
SPRINGs.-A correspondent of the Lynchburg
Republican, writing from Allegheny Springs,
Virginia, says
We have bad quite number of sick and
wounded soldiers here this season, who have
derived much benefit from the use of these
waters. l have now spoken Of the water, of
the beautiful mountain scenery, of the pro-
prietors, of the agreeable gentlemen, and of
the beautiful ladies, and feel that this COM
munication would be incomplete if 1 did not
mention another person who has acted most
prominent part, namely, DR.. John A. Wat
kins, of Tennessee, the resident physician.
but speak the universal sentiment of all who
have formed the acquaintance of DR.. Wat
kins, that he has proven himself both skill
tul physician and an accomplished gentle
man, devoted to his profession, not because
of its profits, the chief pleasure to him seem
ing to be in relieving suffering humanity.
His unceasing attention to the sick and
wounded soldiers who have fallen in here,
free of charge, amount of charity practice in
the country, is worthy of all praise. and
am sure his kindness has been appreciated
by all.

C. Howard Nominated
for Governor.

The States Rights party, of Maryland, met
in Convention on Monday last. every county
in the State being represented. The names
of Hon. B. G. Howard and of I'll. w. Archer
were brought before the Convention for the
Gubernatorial nomination, and on the first
ballot the former gentleman was chosen, the
vote being 81 for Howard and rs for Archer.
The nomination of Howard was then made
unanimous and enthusiastic. The nomina-
ton is satisfactory one to the friends of
Southern Rights, and will, it is believed, be
ratified by the people of Maryland at the No
vember election. General Howard is a dis
tinguished citizen of the State. and has filled
some of its most responsible offices. He was
also prominent member of Congress in the
days of jackson. He is also extensively
known as Reporter of the Supreme Court of
the United States, and as a lawyer of extern
sive attachments.

DEFEAT OF THE FEDERAL FORCES.

Gentlemen who arrived here yesterday, d.
rect from the Red Sulphur Springs, bring re-
ports of decisive battle which was fought
on Monday last, near Huttonsville, between
our forces, under General Lee, and the enemy,
under General Rosecranz.
General Lee, it is said, made the attack
upon the enemy, who were encamped at or
near Huttonsville, and, after hsrd-fought
battle, succeeded in routing the invaders,
with loss on our side of about three hum
dred killed and wounded, while the enemy
lost not less than eight hundred killed, and
fifteen hundred taken prisoners.
The intelligence of the reported battle was
brought to the Red Sulphur Springs by most
respectable gentleman of that vicinity, and
no doubt was entertained there of its entire
reliability Republican, Sept. 14th.

dent of the Charleston Courier, writing on the
11th, said
A large number of ambulances were ship
ped 10 Manassas yesterday, which, connected
