The Amy Of me Polomae..


The intelligence published yesterday, relative to
the movements of the army of The Potomac, occa-
stoned some expressions of diss abstraction amongst
individuals who know nothing # strategy, and who
vehementlY protest against taking any step back
ward. Such persons ought to understand that no
movement is made by wise and experienced Gen
erals, except for good cause and for some definite
purpose. Criticisms Como with bad grace from
those who stay at home ard leave others to fight
the battles. $50 ~
A report reached the city yesterday that the
Federals had advanced as far as Falls Church. in
Fairfax county, and thrown out their pickets but
judging from their recent st2mpedes We should be
disposed to eok upon this as at least questionable
We have it from undoubted authority that only two
or three days ago some regiments of the enc.
my made their appearance at lie Winsville with two
wagon loads of entrenchlng tools, but be fore they
had an opportunity of commencing their fortfics-
ions' two of our regiments advanced upon them
ard put them to fight nor did they stop until they
bad put safe distance between themselves and
their pursuers.
They left all their implements behind, which were
secured by our troops. Nevertheless, it seems to
be generally believed that great battle viii take
place within a few days
President Davis, accompanied by one of his aids,
left this city at an early hour yesterday morning.

The news from Memphis indicates great activity
among the forces under the command of Gen A. S.
Joa>sT0N. They have evidently commenced an sd-
vance movement to the North, which we confidently
trust and believe will prove fatal disaster to the
Western army of the Usurper. and his miserable
cohorts.

commanding but it is believed in all quarters, that

Affairs on tho Upper Potomac


A friend just from Jefferson county gives US more
minute information respecting the late stirring
events which occurred st ShepherdstoHn, in that
county.
The public is aware that Shepherdstown is imme-
dately on the Potomac, aboutT miles above Harz
per's Ferry. A Federal regiment has for some
time been stationed just opposite, the Maryland
side professedy for the purpose Of protecting the
canal but really TO modest and annoy their neigh
bors on the opposite STORE.
1t seems that on Tuesday, the 18th instant about
seyenty-fve of the Vandals yentured the river
crossing it at q ford about mile below the town,
and succeeded in penetrating almost to the centre
of the town before any one knew it As soon as
their presence was known, and amid the great con-
sternation of the inhabitants, all the citizens capable
of bearing arms were busily getting ready such
weapons as they could muster to give the invaders
q spirited resistance. Just at this moment about
dozen of Asbby's Cavalry, who had been scouting.
galloped into the town. and led by Daniel H. Morgan
(brOther of Capt Morgan, Of Stuart's Cavalry,)
dashed down the street up which the enemy were
coming, and dispersed them in every direction,
sending them in double quick scross the river This
charge deserves more than passing notice. Those
gallant twelve charged the enemy against the en-
treaties snd protestatlons of the citizens, they
surprising it was madness for SO small a
number TO encounter force so much superior
They deserve great credit for their gallantry
But one of the NEST outrageous and atrocious
acts of the whole war remains yet to be told. On
the Friday following at 81 O'Clock at night, the re-
pert Of cannon followed BY the noise Of pouniers
and pieces of iron, told too plainly that the ven
geance of the yandals could not be appeased by
regular bombardment of the town, and that, too,
without giving moments warning TO the helpless
women and children who were sleeping within its
precincts. The firing was kept up at intervals for
about two hours, and only ceased, we informed,
because their cannon burst (anoiher interpretation
of Providence} and prevented further mischief
They succeeded, however, in driving nearly all the
women and children frOm,,ths place, many of whom
had to encamp out all night. Several balls and
pieces of old iron fired by the sayages picked
up by the citizens. Most of the balls struck near
the centre of the town, and the marvel is how the
inhabitants escaped. for, strange to say, no
injured. Colonel Ashby with his whole command
is now encamped near ShepherdstOwn. and with,
the aid of several hundred militia, will b. able to
protect the border from future dePredations.
