The Oath.

Below we present copy of the oath which
Virginians are forced to take who are made
unwilling captives by Lincoln's yandal hordes
and cut throats. Ii is a genuine production,
having come into our hands through the kind
ness of the Rev. j. P. Hyde, acting Captain
of the Hardy Grays, who obtained the copy
of the oath (pTinted on heavy foolscap) from
a,gentleman W ho had for weeks. been a'prison-
er in the hands of the Federals, and who re-
fused to take the oath required of him. The
gentleman alluded to, we are happy to an
nounce, effected his escape, and is now in a
locality where Lincoln's hirelings will scarce
ly venture.
We invite for the s'oath" an attentive pc
rusal, and have no doubt our readers will
concur with US in pronouncing it a most out
rageous and iniquitous production, worthy
only OF the men administering it and of The
detestable cause sought to be upheld.
OATH OF ALLEGIANcE.-Wher there ex-
lists at present against the United States of
America, whose subject l am, an armed re-
bellion, and divers citizens of Virginia have
espoused the same, and are engaged in active
hostilities against the Federal Government;
and whereas certain adherents of said rebel
lion, assuming to represent the State of Vir-
ginia, have issued a so-styled Act of Seces-
sion, severing the political relations of said
State to the United States. and declaring the
allegiance OF the citizens of Virginia to the
United States annulled; and whereas, it
behooves me as faithful subject of my COM
mon country, devoted to its institutions and
anxious to express my fidelity to the same,
and my utter Reputation of the traitorous
pretensions and proceedings advanced by its
government; now, therefore, l, the under
signed, of
County, State of Virginia, do hereby solemn
ly swear, before Almighty God. that / will
ever bear true allegiance to the United States
Of America, and support its Constitution;
that will at no time, and in no wise aid or
abet, by counsel or act, direct or indirect any
of the enemies of, or rebels against, said gov
eminent; but that will, at all times, con-
duct myself as peaceful, loyal and obedient
subject of the same, aud faithfully discharge
my duties as its law-abiding citizen; all of
which swear of my free will and accord; so
help me God.
Subscribed and sworn to. on this day.

Condition of Affairs i'm Washington
City.

By gentleman just arrived from Washing
ton, the report that we published some days
ago to the effect that the whole military force
in Washington and Alexandria did not ex-
coed 35 900 men, is fully confirmed No re-
Inducements had reached Washington city
up to Sunday last, other than some regiments
OF the Pennsylvania reserve. already referred
TO, and Sickle's Excelsior" Brigade. The
Government was in great alarm. 1t was at
tempting in various ways to conceal its
weakness by disseminating false reports of
reinforcements through the Northern news
papers, and by marching regiments from
point TO point, through the streets, to create
the impression of the arrival of reinforce
ments.
1t was generally estimated in Washington,
outside of the misrepresentation and sup
pressions in official quarters, that the Federal
loss in the two battles of the 18th and 2lst
instant. in killed, wounded, and missing,
amounted to twenty thousand. Three-fourths
OF the population of Washington are repre-
sented as being in state bordering on re-
volt; while the Lincoln army Is demoralized
and constantly making demonstrations of
mutiDy. One of the Pennsylvania regiments
in Banks column has been entirely disband-
ed through the mutiny of the men. The fact
is confirmed beyond doubt that the Lincoln
army lost all its field batteries in the rout at
Manassas, with the exception of some pieces
OF the Rhode Island battery.
The report of the hanging of two South
Carolinians, and another prisoner, by the
Lincoln forces, is substantiated by the most
direct evidence. They were hanged near
CentreVille by Connecticut regiment, sup
posed to be the Fourth. The evidence of this
atrocious deed is of the most direct character.
having been conveyed to our informant, re-
spectacle magistrate, by an eye witness. The
victims of this hellish revenge were hanged
by the cords of the drums of the regiment.
The pretence for the barbarous execution
was that they had attempted to escape.
Ii is asserted to us that, Notwithstanding
the studied misrepresentation in official
quarters, and in the columns of the Northern
newspapers, OF the results of the campaign
the people in Washington are fully aware of
the extent of the disasters of the Lincoln
Government, and are anxious to abandon its
refugees Tin that merely prudential spirit, we
fear, however, in which rats abandon sink
ing ship.) The graveyard at Alexandria is
said TO attest the carnage at Vienna, the dead
having been buried there in pits known to
contain hundreds of them.
1t was understood in Washington that Gen
Scott has been practically RETIRED" and
that the campaign would be conducted over
his head by McCiellan.-RicA. Express.

From the n Y. Times.
Present Designs of the Rebels.

| That the Confederate leaders are preparing
| for an attack on Washington in front, and in
the rear through insurgent Maryland we
| think there are many reasons Tor believing
| While Beauregard pushes upon Alexandria
aud Arlington. and Gen. Johnston attempts
a crossing of the Potomac above, Gen. Ma
gruder will probably leave bis camp at
Yorktown, and try to put himself, with a
| good part of his army for a nucleus, at the
head of the Rebels in Mary land, crossing at
or near Aqua Greek.
The letters from Richmond, and from the
| Rebel army, written to the Southern papers
since the bottle at Bull Run, have thrown off
| their former prudence in regard to revela-
| tions of military movements. and in the con-
| 6dence of their invincibility they unhesitat-
ingly state that the rebel policy and purpose
| now is to advance upon Washington and PEN
citrate to the North.
1t will not do for the Government to rely
on safety from Maryland or even from
Baltimore outbreak, because Fort McHenry
can shell and burn the city of Baltimore.
| The Rebels can depart from that city when
the fire begins to rain on it, and rush to their
concealed deposits of arms, tear up few
railroad bars, and thus, in few hours, in-
| augurate an insurrection which would again
Isolate Washington. and threaten to crush
the Administration by surrounding and cap
turing the Federal City.
Ii General Beauregard should be able to
advance his army to the head of the Chesa-
peake Bay. and post his pickets as far North
as Havre de Grace, then indeed would Will
mingtOn and its powder mills, and Philadel-
phla and its foundries and factories, be in
| danger of paying tribute TO Confederate dar-
ing. The session OF Washington by the
rebels would be terrible blow to the Union,
because of the new complications that would
arise in the recognition of the de fdco rebel
government by the ministers of foreign gov
ernments.
The Secessiouists of Maryland, and of Bal
timore even, who are the rich men and pro-
perty holders of that city, would not hesitate
an hour in sacrificing all they have, and see
ing the city RACED till not one brick is left on
another, If thereby they could deal fatal
blow on Washington, and drive out the gov
eminent that is there. 1t is worth while,
therefore, to look well to the possibilities of
a new revolt in Mary laud, which is certainly
intended by the Confederate leaders, and see
if we are prepared for the worst that could
happen.

Capture Ct a Federal Steamer at Cairo.
THE EQUALITY TAKEN FROM THE WHARF
Pursuit of the Gun Boats.

From a special dispatch received by Colo
mel James Coleman. from the Geographic Ope-
rator at Hickman, Mr.. Harris, we learn that
Captain James NJ. Irwin, late captain of the
New Uncle Sam. yesterday captured at Cal
TO the gun-bOat Equality, while lying at the
wharf at Cairo. We presume that she was
the only craft there that had steam up, and
that the bold movement was not discovered
until the boat was beyond the reach OF the
batteries. Two of the gun-bOats, when the
fact was discovered, Immediately got up
steam, and started in pursuit. But Captain
Irwin was too much for them. According to
Mr.. Harris, the gun-boats passed Hickman
an hour and half behind the Equality
and as that point is only about thirty-fve
miles from New Madrid, all the hopes of
catching her might as well be given up. We
only hope that the Lincoln boats will ven
ture near enough to New Madrid to permit
our boys to pepper them well, and probably
instead of one we may be enabled to an
nounce the capture of three of the enemy's
boats. The dispatch from Hickman was da-
ted SIS PM
The Equality is a sternwheel boat. and
previous to her metamorphosis for war pnr-
poses was not considered of much account.
She is understood to have several guns on
board, with the necessary ammunition. The
boys at Fulton and Randolph, it is said, are
preparing to give her royal welcome.-Nen.

Having been arrested in Lee county, Vir-
ginia, taken to Cumberland Gap, and sent to

had charge of the seventy men who guarded
me from the Gap to Abingdon, aud to the
soldiers under their command, feel espe-
cially indebted for their remarkably good
conduct on the way, and the respectful treat
ment / received at their hands. OF Major
Lee, aud Lieutenants Plumlee and Cooke,
and the men who brought me from Abing-
don to Richmond, and have had charge of
me since L came here, i have no language at
my command, sufficient to express nay sense
of the manner in which they discharged their
duty, they being as careful to protect me
against violence and insult. as to prevent my
rescne or escape.

statement in the hope that my friends will
cherish no feeling of unkindness towards ali
or either of the persons referred TO.

Capt. John Adams.

The friends of the above named gentleman
will rejoice to hear of his return from the
land of black republican tyranny to his ma
tive Tennessee and to the land of constitu-
tional liberty. At the time of his resignation
from the federal army, Capt. Adams was
Captain of LIST Dragons and had been for %
years past in command of Fort Crook, situa-
ted in the northern part of California, and
considered one of the most important posts
on the frontier. In May last he handed in
his resignation, it was accepted, he then took
a steamer from San Francisco to N. Y, and,
through many difficulties and embarrass-
ments, has at last succeeded in reaching
home. He is now volunteer in the rank 8,
Capt. Winstead's company, and candidate
for Colonel of the regiment to be organized
here next Tuesday.-PuLaski Citizen.

reporting that information had been received
at that place of an engagement at Charleston,
