OUR WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE.
rnE cAmPAIcr IN VIRGINIA.
Important from the Potcmac-.The Paw
No Rnnn


from the Richmend Examiner, Oct 81
The War Department has received no dispatches
whatever with reference to the late reported afsir
in the neighborhood of Harper's Ferry, where Col
Ashby's cavalry are stated to have eDgageda de-
taehment of the enemy. No advices Of the engage
ment have been received at the department beyond
per sonal accounts. These represent the enemy to
have been about 500 strongi our force not being
larger than 500. Tue statement Of the enemy loss
at about sixty killed and fifteen prisoners tsken,
with the loss Of only on our side, as men-
toned by US in Saturdays paper, is probably
eSaggeration of the result OF skirmish, me silly,
as we understand, foughs hand to hand
The battery at Transport is reported to have
done excellent execution within the last few days,
although working yet but few of its guns. A
large schooner dismasted by its fire few days
ago. and the blockade of the river Is now said to be
lcOmplstely within control at this point
The feet of sail vessels off Aqua Greek blocks-
ded by cur battery, is reported to number some
sixty seventy SAIL Lower down are four FIVE
war steamers. Ii is thought that the Government
transports will proceed to Annapolis, where they
may unload, and the supplies forwarded TO Wash
ingtOn by the railroad.
The Pawnee, or the vessel thought to be such, by
observations through good glasses, that passed
the battery at Transport ia positively reported TO
have been sunk, according to information brought
here to the War Department by an officer. We gave
her about thirty shots on passing the battery Of
which are observed to have taken effect On round
ing the point, she was moved into shallow water,
wrere she sunk.
Only a small number Of the guns of the battery
have been 4worked lin the exercise Of the past
few days. Two eight inch Erihed columbiads, Of
nglish manufacture, understood to have run the
bl ockade in the Bermuda, at Savannah, will be
m ounted at once to increase the efficiency Of the
battery.
1t is stated in high military quarters of Informs
ton that the late falling back Of cur lines the
Potomac was not from fesr of flank movement or
of the preparations going in front CT US, But may
be simply explained as the consequence of the fact
that our advance had accomplished the purpose for
which it was intended. 1t is not unlikely that it
may yet be shown that the occupation of GunsOn's
and Mason's Hills and the other advance positions
from which we rave lately fallen back were inten-
ded to cover up important movements in ether quar-
tiers.

seen that change has been rendered necessary in

to the cause in which we are all engaged in common

In the District Court of the Confederate States of
America, yesterday, District Attorney RAMSEY in
compliance with letter from the Attorney Gene
raj at Ric edmond entered mol pros in tn. CASES Of
J. W. Thorn BURG, J. A. GRAY, }. W. SMITH and JOEL
W. JARVIS charged with treason against the Confed
crate States Government, the condition that they
would take an oath to support the Constitution of
the Confederate States they had proposed to do.
The prisoners having taken the required oath
entered into q voluntary bond of $500 for their
good behavior in future, and were accordingly dis
charged from custody.
There had also been petition signed by the mem
bers of the Legislature and large number of cit-
zens addressed to the District Attorney requesting
their release, the condition of their taking the

Immediately after the release of the prisoners, j.

for his recognizance at Knoxville on the 4th Nom
day of November, at the meeting of said Court, to
answer said charge, in the sum OF $1,000, which he
accordingly did.
We will endeavor to report the proceedings of the
