REPORTED ENGAGEMENT NEAR WINCHEs-
TER-A number of passengers arrived from
Winchester on the Central cars yesterday,
who report that early on TuSday moaning the
Federal forces, estimated at 80, 600 men, I'M
der command of General Cadw allader and
Patterson, crossed the Potomac at Shephard's
Ferry and Williams port.
They state that Col. Jackson, in command
ola detachment of Gen. Johnston'S force,
variously estimated at from one to four thou
sand men, was at the latter place and attack
ed the enemy while they were crossing the
river. Col. jackson is said to have killed
some forty or fifty of the Federal troops, and
to have taken about seventy prisoners; but
being unable to cope with so large a body
retired back towards Martinsburg, for the
purpose Of forming "a function with Gen.
Johnston.
Our informants state that when they passed
through Winchester, about eleven o'clock on
Thursday night, General Johnston was then
on the way to meetthe enemy with his entire
command, supposed to consist of from u TO
$4,000 men, and the prisoners taken by Col.
jackson were momentarily expecte ed to arrive
at Winchester, they having been passed on
the way, and their coming announced.
Col. jackson writes, we understand, that II
he had had 5000 more troops he would have
continued to Engage the enemy, instead Of
falling back on the main body.
These facts are abundantiy confirmed, and
it is reasonable to suppose that there was an
engagement yesterday in the neighborhood Of
Martinsburg.
From indications, the Fourth seems to have
been selected as a day for the advance of the
Federal troops at all points, and we shall ex-
pect to hear of numerous engagements.
R~IcnMcND, July 4, P. NJ.
Passengers have reached here by the Vir-
GINA Central Railroad, who left Winchestcl
last night.
They confirm previous reports of an en-
gagemcnt betW cen Confederate forces under
Col. jackson, and the advanced column o
Gen. Patterson.
1t occurred on Tuesday at a small village
on the Potomac. known as Falling Waters
about eight miles from Martinsburg and 49,
miles from Richmond.
About eighty Of the L%incolnites are sale
to have been killed, a largenumber wounded
and many taken prisoners.
The forces of Col. Jackson engaged ar,
said to have been 1900 those on the Other
side not given, but supposed to have beer
between six and seven thousand.
The confederate loss vas six killed ant
twenty wounded.
Gen. Patterson's command retreated acros
the Potomac before Gen. Johnston coul
reach them. This is the third retreat of Pal
terson across the Potomac. As there is n
bridge, the river has to be forded, and it
Supposed the Yankees are fond Of a cold bat
this hot weather.
Gen. Johnston is now at Martinsburg, an
prepared to give the Yankees battle at an
moment.

The States severally have not retained
their entire sovereignty. 1t has been show u
that in becoming parts of ration. not mem
bers of a league, they surrendered many of
their essential parts of Sovereignty. The right
to make treaties---drelarr variety taxes-
exercise exclusive judicial ml1 legislative
powers-were all OF them functions of sove.
reign power. The States, then, FOR all these
Important purposes. were no longer snvr-

transferred, in the first Instance. to the gov
ernment of the United States-Ihey became
American citizens, and owed obedience to the
Constitution of the United States. and laws
made in conformity with the powers it vest
cd in Congress. This last position has not
been, and cannot be denied How then can
that state be said te be sovereign and inde-
