Room Courthouse, Va, burnt by Fed
eraI ScOundrela.


The Tazewell, (Va) Democrat. of the 14th,
has the following account of the burning of
Boon Court house
A party of $50 Federals from Eanswha
Valley, assisted by about $50 Union u.en of
Boon and vicinity. made descent upon the
Courthouse ON Sunday the LIST of September.
After sacking all the private houses, they set
fire to the village and burned every house,
public and private, to the ground, despite the
spirited and determined resistance of the
Boon and Logan militia. Fortunately most
of the records of the county had previously
been removed to a place of safety. A Union
Company had Deen formed 10 the neighbour
hood of Peytona, which, with other Union
men. had threatened to destroy the town, and
rob and drive off the Secessionists. To defeat
these vile threats, Col. Miller called ont the
Militia and had the Union Captain, Edward
Hairless, arrested and confined in Jail. This
was thought to be the immediate cause of the
attack, as the company on bearing OF his con-
fnement dispatched a messenger by the name
of GRAM" to the Federsiists for assistance.
Friday night, guided by Union men through
the mountain passes, some $50 Federal troops
arrived at Peytona, IA miles from Boone
Courthouse. On Saturday the whole force
marched to within one mile of the Courthouse
and posted themselves on the surrounding
mountains, and on Sabbath, about IL o'clock,
destroyed the place. However, they failed
to release the Captain who, together with
another Union man, was secured and brought
to this place as prisoner, and from here Ia
ken to Wytheville. The loss of the enemy
was 25 killed and as many wounded. Our
loss one man killed and four or five slightly
wounded. The escape of the militia was mi
raculous We gather the above interesting
items from q gentleman residing in Boon
county.

MARYLAND REFUGEES.-A party OF twenty
four refugees from Maryland, including two
distinguished members of the Legislature of
that oppressed old Commonwealth, reached
here yesterday. and report condition of af-
fairs in their native State so shocking to every
American idea of independence and of moral
proprieiy that il would be deemed Incredible
but for the high character of those by whom
the accuracy of these reports are vouched for
Indeed, it might well be said that the truth
OF Maryland's unwilling degradation has not
been half told. There was, On the part OF the
gentlemen referred to. al evident disinclina-
ton to mention the apparently well-ground-
ed rumors of respectable Inatrons violated,
of husbands and fathers rudely dragged from
their families, of homes desolated, and of
property wantonly despoilrd, and yet their
| recital of well authenticated facts, is so far
beyond what has heretofore been conceived
to he of possible occurrence in free cOun-
try, that only by the utter want of every
means of effective resistance can the passive
submission of the people of Maryland be re-
| conc led with their known gallantry and
spirit. One cause of the present sullen quie-
tude of the State is revealed in an eloquent
remark of one of the refugees, gentleman
| of eminent character and widespread inf1u-
euce:
"The eyes of our people, be remarked,
''are fixed, with their hopes, upon the Vir-
gnia shore of the Potomac, and all ears are
strained to catch, from that direction, the
first sounds OF the yearnIngly expected sue
cor"
And thus it truly is. Maryland has sur
rendered her ancient self-reliant spirit. TO her
contiding hope of aid from the Southern Con-
federaey, aud by so doing has rendered the
tender of lat aid, promptly and powerful
ly, duty as sacred to our honor as it should
be grateful to our affection.-Richmond Eng :,

HE war as il Progresses

No country has ever witnessed war SINH
lar to the one into which Lincoln has plung-
ed the American people The mad ambition
of Seward is added to the clownish aspira-
tions OF usurper, and thus lin piar," they
are driving on their engines of political and
physical death, through a country lately
peaceful, prosp .rous, happy and free.
This, however, in its results is not war
waged to make or to unmake man. Two
diverse social systems have met each other in
the field of that "irrepreslble conAict''
which draws blood, not words. Our war is
not one for or against slavery, the assevera-
tions of Northern politicians TO the contrary
Notwithstanding. The social condition of the
Southern people is as different from that
OF the Yankees, as liberality differs from
meanness, or bravery varies from cowardice.
The impending war was inevitable, and
tn. South have the advantage OF resisting
encroschments on liberty of persons, press
and speech.
The slavery question is merged in the high
er one of those human rights which for GEN.
turtles have been treasured up in English his
tory, and which it has been reserved for Lin
coin and his minions to violate on Republican
soil.
Such war must result in the triumph of
Southern arms-the triumph of right over
wrong. God is just, and his Providence
watches over all things. de is seen in the
red glare of battle as well as in the peaceful
field. Thus far our standard has been borne
victoriOusly over the field of cOnfiict, and we
have an abiding trust that the day is not far
distant when our Confederacy will be fully
recognized, aud We shall go on to the con-
summation Of the great purposes of gov
eminent resting on liberty regulated by
law.'-Rich. Eng.

r.om we.tern ylrgInia.

A Tennessee volunteer arrived in this
place Sunday, direct from the encampm-nt
of Gen. ASDERsoE's Brigade, in Western Viz
giuia- He was in the fight on the 18th inst.'
the Northern account of which stated that
three hundred of their troops had dis
persed our entire Brigade, killing some
eighty and capturing all our equipments.
This account, as we said at the time, was in
correct. The correct version ia favorable TO
the enterprise and gallantry of the Tennessee
troops. Under the orders of Gen. LEE, a
combined attack on the enemy was to have
been made on the 18th. Gen. JACKSON was
ordered TO make an attack upon one position
OF the enemy al q specified hour, whilst Gen.
ANDERSON assaulted another position at the
same moment. Gen. ANDERSON arrived on
his part of the ground previous to the hour
named, and waited some time for Gen. JACK
SON tc commence the attack on his /; but
JACKSON did not arrive at all, and ANDERSON
had to operate independently of him. Hav-
ing detailed the Rock City Guards for action
at particular point, he assailed the strongly
fortified position of the enemy with a portion
Of his remaining force, but found it necessa-
~ TO withdraw to prevent another division
of the enemy from getting in his rear. Had
JACKSON been at bis post, this would not
have occurred. In palliation of the non-ar-
Iiv al of JACKSON, it is stated that his road
was so difficult, his men were worn out, and
unable to get to the point assigned them at
the time fixed upon.
Gen. ANDERsoN's command lost two in the
eDga cement, and had few wounded. They
captured sixty-eight, almost an entire COM
pany, OF the Guthrie Greys, celebrated

Captain (BENzE) and two Lieutenants

+ ARREST OF CHrLDREN.-When Liucolnism
descended to the arrest aud imprisonment of
women, we supposed it had gone as far in its
limitations of Bomba as the most ultra advo-
cate of despotism on this continent could de-
sire. But the arrest of two little children,
five and eight years of age. in the city OF Bal
timore. for wearing Objectionable colors in
their dress, goes q bowshot beyond our ut
most expectations of the cruelties AID absur-
dities Of the new despotism. The little in
nocents, unconscious of their crime, were
carried to the station-house, and we suppose
discharged upon giving bonds that they
would be good little children, and never 60
