SANDY HOOK MD, August IA Yesterday

here about o'clock, brought intelligence that
a fight was progressing at Berlin. Other
rumurs were circulated that several regiments
of rebels were approaching the river opposite
Berlin, from Loyettsvlle for the purpose OF

from Berlin, this morning, states that the fight
OF last night consisted Of about twenty five
rebels approaching the river ard firing vollcy
into our picket guard, at the abutment of Burnt
Bridge, and also into the town OF Berlin. No
one was seriously wounded, nor is it known

is not improbable that large rebel force is
distributed along the Potomac line from Ed

our scouts from protecting the Unionists there

TIE DISASTERS OF WAR.-That able and faithful friend of the South, the New York Daily News, thus depicts the condi. tion of affairs in the North:
 "Now that the separation has come, with war party installed in power, what do we behold? Ruin and bankruptcy are star ing almost every business man at the North in the face. Rents are tumbling down, stocks and mortgages are rapidly deprecia- ting, banks are tottering to their fall, and it is with the utmost difficulty that men of moderate means are enabled to obtain the necessaries of life for their families, while the laboring classes are compelled to accept starvation, or the dismal alternative of en- listing in the great army raised for subiu- gation of the South and the emancipation of the slave"
Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-07-25
Col. Hill on Abolitionists.

Col. D. H. Hill Is equally ready and willing to fight or write against the aboli- tionists, who are thus described by him in letter to the North Carolina Presbyterian;
 One word in regard to the inhdel pack who have declared war against the South. They professed to regard slavery as " the sum of all villainies," and that they could not refrain from making war against 1t be- cause it was natural sin and they were made partners in the guilt. Well seven States offered to relieve the burdened con- sciences of these holy men, by severing all connection with them. But To! the saints discover that they cannot lose slavery with out losing the profit of slave labor, and they proclaim a bloody civil war for the avowed purpose of sleeping themselves once more in the guilt of this "sum of all vilainies?' Was there ever more shameless set of sniveling hypocrites? They tell us that if we will only be reasonable enough to let them occupy our forts and collect the du- ties under the Morrill, tariff, they will not disturb us. But do not these holy men perceive that every dollar coming from the South will be blood money procured through slave labor! Will not our inn maculate friends be made partners in the sin of slavery.
 We must never permit our soil to be in- vaded Arson. instruction and murder are regarded with complacency and appro- bation by those who wish to wage war of exterminaton against the South. We have wronged no man, we have simply asked to live under system which God himself instituted, and which brought forth such men as Araham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job and millions of others [" of whom the world was not worthy" We think that Washington will bear to be compared with Lincoln; the missionary Daniel Baker with the rine-apostle Beecher. We think that Marshall, Fancy, Gaston, Ruffin, etc, will compare favorably with northern artists We think that Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, etc., will compare favorably with north ern generals. We think that Pinckney, Lowndes, Chcyes, Calhoun, Randolph, Clay, Macon, etc., will compare favorabIy with northern statesmen. We think that the three Rices, Thornwel, Dabney. etc., will scompare favorably with northern di. vines.
