A number Of passengers arrived from Winchester
on the Central cars yesterday, who report that
early on Tuesday morning the Federal forces, est-
mated at - 600 men, under coAanand of Generals
Cadgallsder and Patterson crossed the Potomac at
Shephard's Ferry and Wiilianisport.
They state that Col. Jackson, Ia command of &
detachment of Gen. Johnston's forces Yariousy est
mated at from one to four THOUSAND men, was at
the latter place and attacked the enemy while they
were crossing the river. Col Jackssn is said to
have Elledsome forty or fifty of the Federal troops
and to have taken about seventy prisoners; but
being unable to cope with 60 large a body, re-
tired back towards Martinsburg. for the pur-
pose Of forming junction with Gen. Johnston
Our informants state that when they passed
through Winchester. about eleven o'clock on Tues
day night, General Johnston then on the way to
meet the enemy with his entire command supposed
to consist of from IL TO Is 00O men, and the prs-
oners taken by Col. jackson were momentsrily ex-
pected to arrive at Winchester, they having been
passed on the way, and their coming announced.
Col Jackson writes, we understand, that if he
had had 5000 more troops he would have continu-
ed to engage the enemy instead of falling back on
the main body.
These facts are abundaDtly confirmed, and it is
reasonable to suppose that there was engagement
yesterday in the neighborhood of Martinsburg
From the indications, the Fourth seems to have
been selected as day for the advance of the Fed
ersl troops at all points, and shall expect to hear
of numerous engagements.

Increasing Symptoms of Reaction against
the War.
From the New York News, June 90


The accounts which are rapidly pouring in from
the rural districts of different Northern States con-
tribute to render the fact mere and more manifest
that the most signal reaction has already taken place
in public feeling, against the most ubiquitous anti
constitutional var in which the Abolition Govern.
meut has involved the Republic. Farmers are I'M
able to dispose of their produce factories are
everywhere closed hundreds of thousands of Ia
borers have been dismissed from employment in
the midst OF the greatest plenty multtudes are on the
verge Of starvation mel chants are becoming bank
rupI to such an extent that the banks are compelled
to refuse most Of the paper offered to them for dis
count there Is a complete stagnation Of trade and
by the side Of these terrible blows that are being
inflicted upop our national prosperity public debt
is rolling up, which Of our insane cotempara-
ries boast viii speedily reach fifteen hundred mil
lions of dollars. Not single one of Mr.. Lincon's
pledges to the country in the month of April has
been fulfilled, and, though Federal army of three
hundred Thousand men has been enrolled into the
service of the United States, they are literally at
dead lock- and the announcement is now gravely
made that Gen Scott does not contemplate any fur
Their advance but will try to tire out the force of
the Confederate States. We are told by organs of
the Administration that there may not be any battle
after all and that all the wholesale violations of law
massacres and tyranny that have been witnessed
within the past two weeks have failed TO accomplish
one of the purposes for which they were intended

A business letter to the Memphis Appeal from Lit

/ Il learn this morning that an express from Gen.
McCulloeh to Gov. Rector reports five thousand
federal troops at Springfield, Missouri Gen. Nc
Cullochhas ordered all the troops at Fort Smith and
Van Buren, to march Immediately to Camp Walker,
within four or five miles Of the Southwest corner
of Missouri. We shall doubtless soon hear of Sc
we're brush between the combined Arkansas and
Missouri troops IN that quarter and the federal
forces under Lyon. As Gen. McCUlloch will be
able to raise several thousand well drilled and de-
termEed men to oppose the federalists, we have no
fear of the result Indeed, if the Missourans turn

Courts of the IConTcderaIe states.

The Constitution Of the Provisional Government
Ofthe Confederate States declared that there should
be one District Judge for each State and that the
District Judges should be Judges of the Supreme
Court. The Permanent Constitution changed this
festure, and declared that the Judiciary Of the Con-
fedeFate States should consist of one Superior Court
and such Inferior Courts Congress should estab.
Ish. In conformity with this provision, the Con
federste States Congress, in organizing the Courts
declared that there should be one Superior Court
to be held at the seat of Government, and one Dis
trict Judge for each State, who is directed to hold
his at the places heretofore appointed by the
laws of the United States The District Judges are
not directed TO discharge the duties of Supreme
Judges. The Confederate States authorities have
organized District Courts by the appointment OF
Judges, Attorneys and Marshas for each State, and
such courts are now held in all the Confederate
States, but no movement has heen made, so far as
we have been able to ascertain, to organize Su
preme Court by the appointment Of Judges. This
has probably been reserved for the period when all
the States which shall compose the Permanent
Southern COnfederacy shall be known This would
giEe wider range of selection, and be more salts

the selection of so important and permanent tri-

appointments consulted with one of the most
distinguished legal gentlemen of Nashville, who
gave his opinion decidedly that such appointments
are constitutional The Legislature confirmed these
appointments. we believe unanimously, and it'll
out deenring there was any thing in the objection
