The BALL has opened sure enough, and win be kept
going. Beauregard and Mcdowell are at it no doubt.
They say that old Scott is at Alexandria in chief
mand of the invading army the line of the Potomac,
while his Leutenants push forward with all the erociy
of Sepoys, to be sernly repulsed. They find that
there is a lion in their way to Richmond lion with
teeth and claws yea several lions We will no doubt

Patterson has no doubt come up to Johnsons lines
at Winchester and waitiCg and expecting to re-
ceve the tdings OF great battle in the valley 1t has
probably been fought. The time when the ball really
opened on that line may have been Wednesday morn
ing but it may have been deferred until yesterday, as
that seems to have been the time fixed upon for com
bined simultaneous advance all the invading lines
We have confidence that wherever attacked our men
will give good account of themselves. Congress will
meet in Richmond tomorrow and deliberate in security
even though all Lncolns forces should howl around il
impotent rage.

The LYNCHBURa VIRGINIAN of the 18th inst, speaks
of report by passengers, to the effect that dispatch
had been received by General BEAUREGARD stating that
in an engagement in the North West Virginia COM
pany Georgia and North Carolina company, had
been attacked and suffered severely though they slew of
their enemies five to one of their own.
This seems to us to be only confused version of the
Rich Mountain affair, in which it is said that three
companies of Col PEGRAM's command were engaged,
but they were all Virginia companies.

IT WOULD APPEAR that the four thousand Pennsyl-

near Martinsburg or Williamsport, We hardly know
which, had two weeks of their time yet to fill up, but
they probably reasoned that having served for two
months and half without being wounded, or running
the risks of battle it would be perfectly ridiculous for
them to be caught in that scrape during the two remain

KENTUCKY, Missouri and Maryland are supposed to
be still members of the United States and, of course
entitled to representation in the United States Con-
gress They are entitled to between twenty and thirty
Representatives in the lower House and to six on the
floor of the Senate.
1t is strange fact in view of this position of things
that there in the House only five or six, certainly
not over seven opponents to the policy of Lincoln and
about the same number in the Senate and still more
strange is it that there is real vgor of opposition
shown by members from the North than from the So
called Southern members.
1t is unfortunately too true that Unonism now in
Kentucky, Missouri and Maryland means submission
ism, Lnconism, abolition devotion to Northern tyranny
and hatred to Southern Institutions The war between
the patriots and tories in North Western Virginia and
in parts of Missouri will be terrible, and will result
finally in the expulsion humiliation of the tories
Annihilaton would be the best mode of dsposing of
them.

SOME PEOPLE appear to be amazed that Edward
Everett should display such bitter hostility to the South
he displayed in his last Fourth of July speech in New
York. We really wonder that anybody should have
been surprised by any exhibition of enmty to the South
that Everett might make. For once, at least,
not mistaken estimate of character when made
up our mind that through all bis patriotic adulation OF
sire to make political capital for Edward Everett We
could him attudnize he had practced before his
mirror and repeat the cold and polished periods which
were rhetoric but not eOquence without once forgetting
that he the representative of Goddess school in
politics and an unchristian sect in religion, while he
whined out the pharisaical professions of the mutual adj
miration clique of Boston and Cambridge dletant who
say to the South-stand aside, holer than you-
and yet fairly represented by the craven murderer
DR.. Webster, one of their pet professors.
No doubt in the world but Mr.. Everett, ex- Unitarian
preacher feels himself to be- in fact, the superior Of
George Washington, or any other living or dead.
Tomorrow the Confederate Congress will meet in
Richmond with added numbers If Old Abe only keeps
on we will have, as ought to have, the whole South
represented there.
We hardly know whether the Presidents Message
will be sent in tomorrow or not We rather think it
WILL as there will be organization to effect If
so, we suppose synopsis will be promptly elegraphed
Its recommendations will be important. A good deal
of business will probably be transacted in secret session

From Missouri.


JEFFERSON Cry, Oct. 6.--Little Doubts
entertained here that Price is on his way
South with the main body OF his army,
the force reported to be making demonstra-
tious near Georgetown and Sedalia being
merely a detachnent for the purpose OF
keeping our advance engaged. When last
heard from Prices advance guard WAS
at Clinton, Henry county. It is supposed
Price will push in to the Arkansas line.
Gen'l Fremont will follow him closely and
give him battle wherever he can find
him. .r
A force of between 5000 and 4, 600 reb-
el cavalry were seen near Upton to-day,
whose object is presumed 10 be TO get be-
tween our advance and this place and fall
upon some stray regiment or transporta-
ton train going out. ia4- -sst.i
Colonel Coppee, of Brownyille, passed
through here the other day for ST. Louis,
but it has been since aseertained that he
is on his way South with important docu-
ments, containing the ofieiRl record ofthe
proceedings of the mock legislature, held
at Lexington.
A scout from Linn Greek reports the
probable death of the notorious rebel
leader Rev. SIiskel Johnson, who, willie
moving some torpedo powder on Friday
night, was dangerously wounded by the
explosion Of one of the kegs.
Gen. Fremont and staff will probably
leave for Sedalia tomorrow.
Especial to the st.Louis Rspubiican.)
It seems to be the belfefin military cir
cles here that Price will avoid u battle
with Fremontif possible, but others enter
tain the opinion that he intends surprise
upon some point the least protected, and
that we shall have a fight in a few days.
Fremont designs to follow the rebel army
into Arkansas, and force them to fight
wherever he can encounter them. ~
The Paymaster who brought one million
two hundred thousand dollars to pny of
the troops to the 3lst of August, have dis

der jumped from the suspension bridge

seventy feet. He went down feet foremost,
and soon appeared again upon the surface,
struggling with all his might The act
was witnessed by hundreds of people
upon Water street, on the bridge and on
the Island, and the most painful suspense
was experienced for about fifteen minutes
People ran yelling in an excited manner,
and the soldier continued to struggle and
kept his head above water. At last life
boat vas run out from one ofthc steamers
At the landing. The poor soldier had gone
down twice, and it was plain from tue
weakness of his struggles that he could not
hold out much longer. Fortunately the
boat reached him just as he was going
down for the last time, and brought him
ashore more dead than alive. The soldiers
name is Joseph Gruber, and he resides in
Ritchietewn. He recently enlisted in the
cavalry regiment at Camp Garlic. For
several days past he has been drinking ex-
cessi,ely, aud he jumped from the bridge

duty.
Grnber was taken into a house on Wa

revived, aud was taken over to Camp Car
