FROM Ex-Gov. WIsE's CoMMAND.-A bearer of dispatches for the War Depart ment from Gen. Wise's command, in the Kanawha Valley, reports that Gen. Wise had evacuated Charleston six hours in ad- vance of it's occupation by Gen. Cox, with between 15, 1000 and 20, 900 Federal troops Our force numbered about $500 men. and retreated in good order, saving all it's stores, squipage and ordinance. Gen. Wise fell back in the direction of Lewis burg, burning the bridge over the Gauley river. He has, undoubtedly, made good his retreat, and eluded the pursuit of the enemy. He will occupy one of the strong mountain passes few miles beyond the river, where he will await the arrival of achievements.

MEETING OF WoRKINGMEN-DEsT -DEMAND FOR WoRK-AN APPEAL TO THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
 About 1000 Germans held meeting at Harmonic Garden, in Essex street, on Wednesday last, to take into consideration the suffering and destitution now weighing so heavily upon the working classes. A plan of organization was submitted for general workingmen's Union, in order to secure better condition of the working classes, and to prevent such deplorable re- verses as the present overtaking them. The President of the meeting, MT. Michel, con- tended that taking the Declaration of lnde- pendence, which declared that Call men were born free and equal" the working man had the right to demand the necessa- ries of life at any time, and under all cir cumstances. He said they would insist that this right be recognized. If no other way existed he would commence the War on the moneyed power! This was receiy- ed with cheers. He said, however, they wished to bring about these reforms in 8 peaceful way A committee of twelve was appointed to carry out the objects of the Union, and arrangements are to be made for grand procession of unemployed work ingmen marching through the streets to the City Hall.-N.

IN CAMP ON W ILsON GREEK
Aug. 10, 1861.


 Dear -:-We have had a glorious fight to day: we have whipped them beau tifully. was with Gen. McCulloch as Aid del Camp, and had fine opportunity of seeing the whole fight. We were at tackled at six o'clock in the morning, and completely surprised; the enemy were upon us before we were aware of it; they attcak- ed us at two points, but were repulsed. .- l never heard of men acting more gallantly than ours; the Louisania, Churchill s, Car rolls and the Sd and 9th Arkansas regi- ments fought like tigers and suffered much from cannon. J. J. Walton, Myer Levi, Morrison and three or four others are killed, also Omer Weaver, ,and Capt. Brown of the Van Buren company are killed. Wekilled Gen. Lyon and have about five hundred prisoners. Gen Siegel is in the woods, we have taken all his cannon and cut off his command; we took about 150 of his men prisoners; the cavalry, Carroll's and the Texas regiment are now after him. Ben Johnson had his horse killed under him, within about two feet of me. My horse was slightly wounded, but not enough to hurt-he stood the battle finely. l was by the side of Gen'l McCulloch when bat tery opened on us with grape, killed John sons horse and made the leaves fly around us; 1 did not feel frightened in the least. In riding about over the field, had the grape and cannon balls to drop around me in all directions. Capt. Ried's Battery did no- bly,, it disabled battery of the enemy, but unfortunately it hit Capt. Hinson, of the La. Regiment and killed him-this was the only unfortunate occurrence of the day.
 l have heap to tell you on my return. We expect to go to Springfield tomorrow. l am to tired too write more; send this to Judge Wheeler to read; have no time to write to him. John isnot hurt that 1 have heard of. must close as the express is leaving.

 THE FRUITS OF THE VIoToRY.-The fol- lowing reliable account of what was taken at the Manassas is from Richmond paper:
 The serious fruits of our victory have been ascertained at the war department to be sixty nine pieces of artillerey, 23, ,OOO stand of arms, 800 wagons laden with stores and ammunitions of war, and quantity of provisions so huge as to appear almost incredible. Never dreaming of de- feat and and only occupied with the ad- vance of their grand army, liberal commis- sariat for their immence forces had con verted the town of Centerville, distant five or six miles from the battle, into one great Ware house for provisions and army stores.
 The provisions of every kind captured at this grand repository are sufficient, the president asserts, to feed an army of fifty thousand men for whole campaign. To save their immense wealth of stores it was at Centerville that Mcdowell attempted to rally his flying army. A large division of fresh troops, with heavy guns in position met the remnants of his vanquished forces, and forced them into a momentry halt; but so demoralized his men that at sight of our pursuing columns they again scat tered, and were chased like hares from their lost position; nor did our cavalry cease from their bloody business of cutting up and riding down the cowardly hounds until within four miles of Arlington nights.
 At this place (Centerville) our troops had the good luck to find a large table spread with sumptuous dinner, and all most untouched, as the route, which com menced about the fashionable hour for din- ing feast, had left but poor stomachs for di- gesting rich food.

THE BATTLE OF MANAssAs.--A corres- pondent of the Richmond Enquirer says:
 It would be unjust to discriminate among the various regiments. for all did their work well. Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisania, and per haps little Florida, have united their des- tinies this day eternal in bonds of frinedship sealed in blood. May it ever continue, and strengthen as time shall pass.

sacks, cartridge boxes, canteens, blankets, belts and overcoats lined the read. The provisions from the wagons were thrown out, and the tops were thrown away. AU acos lost to Mat AnaericGn arn2y, even as honOr.
 The agony of this overwhelming dis grace can never be expressed in words, or understood by those who only hear the tale repeated. I believe there were men upon that field who turned their faces to the enemy, and marched to certain death. lest they should share the infamy which their fellows had invited and embraced The suffering of a hundred deaths would have been as nothing compared with the torture under which the few brave soldiers writhed who were swept along by that maniac hurricane of terror.

appliances of their chosen mode of strife.
 MAJ. ARNOLD HARRIs.-Mai. Arnold Harris is we'll known in Little Rock. He appears to have gotten himself into rather a bad scrape. The Richmon Examiner, says:
 Mir. Harvey McGraw, of Lancaster, Penn., and Mr. Arnold Harris, of -, are now in this city, and confined as prisoners in the county iail. They were arrested the day after the battle on the plains of Man assas, whether they represent themselves to have come in search of the body of Col. Cameron, the brother-in-law of the United States secretary of war. Being intimate friends of Secretary Cameron. they, on hearing of the death of the Colonel, came over in quest of his remains, when they were taken prisoners and sent on here.
 A splendid equipage and two valuable horses, the whole turnout being valued at S1,S00, which they had hired in Washing ton for the excursion, also fell into our hands. Messrs. McGraw and Harris had undertaken to be responsible to the owner for the safe return of his establishment.
 The Richmond Dispatch is very severe upon Arnold-it says:
 "One single man of all the north has sent back agents to look after disabled relative, and that is no less person than the north ern secretary of war, Simon Cameron. But instead of doing this thing in an honorable manner, under flag of truce, he has thought proper to have it done by stealth and arti- tice'
 "Two well-known characters about Washington city were his chosen irstru- ments for searching out his brother by stealth: a Tennesseean, by the name of Arnold Harris-it should have been Harris Arnold land leach of the treasury under Buchanan, by the name of Magraw. These men were captured on the field as spies, while engaged in their stealthy work They cannot be regarded as any other than spies, and should be held as such by the proper officers What right have such characters as these, charged with a commits sion from the chief war officer of the enemy, to enter our country, in disguise as to their garb and their purpose, endeavoring to ac complsh by stealth the mission consigned to them by such chief? They are clearly spies of the most disreputable sort, and should be dealt with accordingly"
 A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, says: Maj. Harris will be kept prisoner during the war.
 "A good deal of solicitation was tried yesterday upon the President to obtain the discharge of Messrs. Harvey McGraw and Arnold Harris, who were aNested the day after the battle on the plains of Manassas, and brought to Richmond, but he very speepily set the applicants for their enlarge. ment at rest, by declaring that they should remain prisoners during the continuance oi the war"

THOSE HANDCUFFs.-A distinguished minister of Richmond has written to friend in the following strain concerning Lincoln handcuffs.
 "Nothing that has yet been done by the North has so deeply moved my indigna- tion. A young minister, who was silenc- ed in Alexandria by federal authority, has just reached this county, (Bedford.) He says there is no doubt the design was to take prisoners and arrest private citizens, handcuff them, and march them in front of the battle for their own protection. The design was infamous. It could never enter into the hearts not bereft of every emotion of.chivalry and self respect. It is posi- lively fendish. It must move the South to the most united, determined and heroic resistance that the world has ever seen. My arms were not made to wear handcuffs, nor shall they, while God gives me strength to resist I believe the thirty thousand handcuffs will be worth more than thirty thousand volunteers to the South They must inspire the South with an everlasting loathing of the race that could plan for them degradation so profound and galling-an injury that we cannot retaliate without sacrificing our character in the estimation of the civilized world.
 "Poor Scott! I learn that he has been superseded. Withered are his laurels. Yet he did not reach the lowest point of infamy to which he might have descended. He was, learn, opposed to the use of the handcuffs These new implements of war the invention of the Republicans-Lin- coin and his saintly advisers-the great enemies of fslavery. Let them have the honor of it."

THE FEArs OF Col. WADE HAMPToN.-
 The Lieutenant Colonel of General Hamp- tons legion (S.C.) was killed by a shot in the head from the battery covering the 18th New York regiment. Tears immedl- ately came in the eyes of Gen. Hampton, who was a near neighbor and friend. He vowed revenge and immediately dis mounted and procuring Maynard rifle (in the use of which he is said to be ex- tremely efficient he stationed himself on an emnence in the advance of his legion and fired, and in turn was fired at, repeat edly; six balls passed through his clothing yet he was uninjured.
 One of the first victims of Hampton's S deadly aim was Col. Cameron, of the 18th New York regiment, another who fell from his fire was Lieut.. Col Farnham, of the Fire Zouaves One who stood by the side of the South Carolina General, states he never saw man so frienzied, yet so coolly inn prudent and terribly nerved: my informant says that every time the deadly rifle crack was heard federal officer or soldier was seen to fall
 When the retreat of the federals con- menced Hampton ordered his command to fire, and then charge bay onets. At the head of his men he followed the routed troops until his men fell from exhaustion, they having arrived the same day from Rich mond, and marched to the support of the batteries, three miles at '' double quick time."

ty, to the publisher of the Weltburger, for
printing thu Treasurer's Tax List without
authority" Tax payers, when they come
to pay their taxes, will do well to bear it
in mind.
BY the way, we would like to know if
any one has yet heard an explanation of
'the peculiar circumstances surrounding the
case which justified the payment of that
bill? We have not been able to get any
light upon the subject. ''We find no au-
thority for paying for the same, said the
committee in their report, "but after con-
sidering all the circumstances surrounding
tic case recommend its allowance" Do
