taken to arrest the evil, by Congress, in pro-
hiOiting the sale Of liquors to soldiers, and by
General Mcclellan, in confning them more

The ENEMY's ACooUNTs.-According to the
Richmond Enquirer, portion Of Gen. John
ston's command did not arrive at Manassas
until three o'clock in the afternoon of July 81.
The Enquirer says:
"At that hour General Kirby Smiths brigade
arrived on the railroad from Winchester to
Manassas Junction, at point within two miles
of Stone Bridge. Seeing the violence of the
contest there, this general stopped the cars,
and dismounting his men, marched straight on
enemy, without orders, and without going to
the Junction, thereby saving five mile march.
General Beauregard did not at first recognize
this brigade, and believed it flank movement
Of the enemy, till they came near enough for
tie flag to be distinguished. On their arrival
in line, a general charge was made, and the
enemy broke and fed precipitately,"
The Enquirer adds
''The fourth Alabama, fifth Virginia, and
seyenth and eighth Georgia regiments are said
to have suffered most in the engagement"
The Hampton Legion lost 30 killed and 500
wounded
The Black Horse Cavalry is known here to
have suffered severely, but we see no reports
from the other side, of its loss,
The correspondent of the Richmond Examiner
states the killed among the Confederstes at
500, and the wounded at 1900. The surgeon

~ A California gentleman assures us that
the charge Of the Star, of any special insub.
ordination in Col. Bakers regiment is alto
ssther unfounded. He assures US also, quite
unnecessarily, that if the regiment is fortunate
enough to be brought into action, it will vindi-
cate itself, by its gallantry and efficiency.
Nothing less could be expected, from the ma
terisl Of which it is composed and the estsb-
lished reputation of its commander.

Mountains, says:
We had now ascended some 5000 feet, and

be was soon lodging behind the rocks to avoid
my now'balls. What a grand thing it is to
have snow. ball fight in August! And that
within hundred miles of the Hub" Verify,
times are changing. Up, up we go, and at last
what sight greets our vision! There, far
away, high up the steep precipice, lay the snow
In one broad, vast field. The dimensions must
have been az the least 1000 feet by 500 in width
and height, while in many places the depth was
over 40 or SO feet. If piled together at depth
of 10 feet, 1t without doubt would have made a
field of square form 500 feet on q side. Thus
there must have been rs, 900 cubic feet of snow
in Tuckerman Ravine on the I'd of August

completely covering it by every possible acci.
dent Of the ground while changing his positions,
and leading 1t bravely and skillfully TO the at.
tack at the right moment, to which the brigade
responded, in every Instance, in manner
highly creditable to itself and satisfactory to
its commanding officers. At no time during the
conflict was this brigade disorganized, and it
was the last of the field, and in good order.
"Col. Keyes says: The gallantry with which
the second Maine and third Connecticut regi.
ments charged up the hill upon the enemy :
artillery and infantry was never, In my opinion,
surpassed, and the conduct of Colonels Jameson
and Chatfeld, in this instance and throughout
the duy, merits the highest commendation
Col. Terry rendered great assistance by his gal
lantry and excellent conduct. Lieut.. Hascall,
Acting Assistant Adjutant General Lieuten-
ants Walter and Ely, rendered gallant and
effective assistance.

the above from personal observation, and to

NEW MEXICO.

We notice Ia the Santa Fc Gazette q card Of
Francisco Tomas Cabeza' de Baca, declining a
candidacy for seat in Congress, as delegate
from New Mexico, in favor of Hon. John s.
watts, and take occasion to express the gratif.
ton we feel in view Of the prospect of having
gentleman SO sound In principles and so com.
petent in ability, to represent, In the Congress
OF The United States, that remote and interest.
Ing region of our country. Judge Watts was
one Of the first Federal judges in New Mexico.
and, as such, commended himself, in a high
degree. to the respect and confidence of the
people there. Having resigned the position Of
judge, he has since pursued, With marked
ability, the practice of his profession. During
the last few years, he has spent much of bis
time here, in the advocacy of causes, from New
Mexico, before the Supreme Court and the
Court Of Claims, and has established a high
reputation for ability and indomitable perse-
verance. The people Of New Mexico will show
their wisdom in electing him to represent their
interests in Congress, and his well.known de.
votioa to the Union will give to his election
the very best possible evidence of the loyalty
and fidelity Of the people Of that Territory TO
the Government and their uncompromising
hostility to secession.

NEW ORLEANS BANKS.

A gentleman from the South informs the New
York Times that only one Of the New Orleans
banks was represented in the recent bank con.
vcntiOn at Richmond (Va.), and that those
banks decline to act upon the policy there
recommended, the material feature of which
was the acceptance by the Southern banks, for
all sums due them, of the Confederate treasury
notes. This is perfectly desperate proceeding.
and amounts to nothing more, or less, than the
conversion of all the assets of the banks into
ID paper the value of which depends wholly
upon the success of the rebellion. The great
body Of the Southern banks may as well be
desperate as not. They are in desperate con
ditlon already and desperate remedies are the
only ones which afford any prospect of relief.
The New Orleans banks, however, constitute
an exception. They have real capital, or at
any rate, have had it until recently. They are
naturally reluctant to compromit themselves so
deeply with the rebellion, as was proposed at
Richmond. In the end, they will probably be
forced into that policy. Wherever there IL a
dollar at the South which can be seized, the
jeff. Davis cabal, as their necessities become
more urgent, will seize it, If there are really
fifteen millions Of dollars in hard money in the
