The Richmond Wig says: I'VE hear that
intelligence has been received in town, by n
gentleman from Washington, cot:iirming the
report ofethe brilliant success of Cen. Price at
rNiugton, with sorne-i important additions
. ,,eal Of $500 prisoners as reported by the
Yankees, the numbers exceed 1000. And be-
sides the cannon, small aims, ammunition,
stores and 3 900 horses, about half Il million i'll
money was captured We fear this splendid
achievement may lead to the displacement OF
Freanont, and the appointment Of some ADLER

CAPT. THOMS SONS COMPANY.

This Company has been Received into Col
ORn's Rife Regiment, now stationed on Sul!i-
vans Island, and willTgo into immediate ser
vice. Thefposlion is a very desirable one,
and the. company will gladly embrace the or
portuntv which is thus presented. The Com
pany has now its full complement Of men, arl
ia composed of the very best material. Some
additional members will still be received, and
may obtain places by applying early. 1t is an
occasion which the young and patriotic should
not neglect. All who have character TO es-
tablish and maintain must now enroll them
selves for the war, and assist in beating back
the armed enemies Of the country. In future
times. it will be esteemed no higher honor than
to have been a soldier in this our second war
of Independence. A company meeting will he
held on Saturday next, ct which full attend.
ance of the members is desired.
THE BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE SECTIONS
The natural boundary Of the Confederate
States on the North is along the Missouri river
to the Mississippi; thence. along. The Mississippi
to the mouth of the Ohio; thence along the
Virginia and the Northern Maryland line to
the Atlantic. The Ohio line is the most iInpor-
tnnt portion Of this frontier. The battle of
Manassas settled the question of Southern
Independence and the contest is now merely
one for boundaries. This.is the true issue in
Missouri, Kentucky, Northwestern, Virginia,
and will soon lie in Maryland Territory
which legitimately beopgs to us. has been sur
rendered TO the enemy, and We can have no
peace until we have re conquered tho surren-
dered territory which lies South Of the boun-
dairy above indicated. The social systems aud
sections of the two sections are too dssimilar
to be divided by a mere mathematical line
we need n great natural line of separation like
Ohio river. Our true policy consists in pushing
the war to the banks Of that river Then if
the enemy ravpges our coasts, We will be pre-
partd to carry the War into tue homesteads of
Ohio and Pennsylvania. 4 smaller force will
thus he moro effective, nnd thus will give full
employment to the enemy Mt home.
