From the following, which We take from
the Wheeling Intelligencer, it will be seen
that there is work yet to do in Western
Virginia
A friend writes Va from Grafton. that
on last Sunday night, at half-past eleven
o clock, twenty armed secesh attacked a
train of twelve WAGONS, ut jacksonville,
| Lewis county, Va, fifteen miles from
| Weston. They fired ut the drivers,
wnundinr four--one or two severely-but
killed pone. They captured the wagons,
and all the horses but three Capt. Row
and's cavalry company, stationed at IVES
ton. went in pursuit Of the rebels, and ii
was thought he would capture some OF
them The captain is doing good service
in and about Lewis county. He sends
scouting parties out every night, and they
very rarely return without game. The
secesh in that county are very much en-
ragged ut the captains energy in bringing
them to justice.

what our Neighbor says.

Such expressions Of friendship as the fhllow.
ing that We have clipped from our good neighbor
and friend, the Bristol Phenix are particularly
gratifying We truly hope, Brother Bayley,
that your excellent paper may be able to stand
Arm against the pressure of the times.
Indeed, we have too much confidence in the
enterprise and good sense Of your people to
suppose such contingency possible. "Long
may you wave" Brother Bayley.
We were extremely sorry to observe in the
leading article of the WARREN TELEGRAPH OF
Saturday last, the announcement that 1t would
cease to appear unless it received new encourage
ment. The citizens of our sister town should
not suffer the TELEGRAPH to 60 down. 1t has
been well conducted sheet and credit to the
place. If it is discontinued, the people will
soon feel the loss, and will find it difficult to in
duce any printer to commence the publication
of another sheet. We are assured that our
friend Applegate can succeed far better else
where, but we trust the good people of Warren
will give him such encouragement as will in
duce him to continue his paper.
We know not what may be the fate of the
Phenix short time hence, unless many of our
subscribers are more prompt in lquidating their
bills We are struggling hard to keep above
water, and If we can be successful in collecting
portion Of our dues, shall strive to struggle
through the storm.

The Repulse.

On Sunday last was the second battle at Bull
Run, which resulted in the ropulse of the Fed
eral forces. The smoke has not yet sufficiently
cleared away to allow just estimate, either of
the causes or the results of the contest.
Having received orders to advance on Manas-
sas, Gen. Mcdowell proceeded to obey, with
Hunter and Lyon as commanders of Divisions.
The forces advanced five miles beyond Centre
vile, where, on the Warrenton road tho battle
took place. The fight was commenced at an
cary hour, and until P. NJ, our forces were
making slow but sure advances on the enemy,
in the face Of masked batteries and superior
numbers. At this hour, large force of the
rebel battery, four thousand strong, charged
upon the extreme left Of our line. Through
some mistake, or want Of generalship, we had
no 1ankers out. The charge was terrific, and
our regiments, without general orders, panic
stricken, and believing themselves about to be
overwhelmed, one after another rctrcated, leav-
ing on the ground one or ta o regiments only,
who soon received orders to follow. In the
rapid retreat, q considerable amount Of ammu-
milton and provisions were left behind, and
seized by the enemy. TIE large body Of our
troops fell back upon Alexandria and Arlington
Heights. The loss in killed, wounded, and
missing on our side, will amount to several
hundred.
From what we can learn, the encmy's loss is
far greater than our own. They did not follow
up their advantage by advancing upon Wash
ingtop.
1t is reported that Gen. Paterson was ordered
to attack Gen. Johnston failing to do so, a
junction WAS effected at Mapassas. We arc dis
posed to place the blame ofthis engeg cement not
upon Gen. Mcdowell, not upon Gen. Scott, who
simply obeyed orders-neither upon the Presi-
dent-but upon those Congressman and New
York journals, who have pressed our army into
this premature engagement. Weeks must
elapse before we shall know all the results Of
this rcpulse. The South, and West, and Eng
land, must be heard from. We are glad that
Russell, the correspondent of the London Times,
was on the ground
We may have been too sanguine and too
little dependent on the God of Battles. At the
North new regiments are offering themselves,
and old regiments rc-enlisting, and hurrying
forward Congress is calmly doing its work,
and United States loans are readily taken. The
cause is as just as ever. Temporary rcpulses
we're among the probabilities, nay, certainties
of the campaign Truth and right will yet be
victorious. This Western World shall yet be
the land of the free.

Lecture.

Rev. Dr. Coggeshall of Providence, delivered
a lecture last Sabbath evening, in the Methodist
Church. His subject was "The Anglo Saxon
race in its relation to Protestant Christianity"
In the commencement he paid fitting tribute
to our mother country. Her material growth
and her conquests, passed in full review before
the audience. DIR. Coggeshal then passed to
our own land. Our unexampled growth was
depicted. Special illusions were made to Mas
sachusetts and Rhode Island. The lecturer had
a remarkable facility in recalling statistics.-
He also clearly presented Protestant Chrstiani-
ty on the vitalizing power of the race, and the
principle of its growth He spoke of the North
and South, and closed with an eloquent tribute
to our armies in. this emergency, and with
assurances of our ultimate success.
The church was well filled, and the lecture
was heard to the close with interest.

AN OFFICE SEEKERS TRIcK.-A few weeks ago
the government desiring the service of a secret
agent to make reconnaissance ofRichmond and
ascertain the strength of the rebels, young
man named Hermanns, who was formerly a
page in the House Of Representatives, and lat
,erly the reputci correspondent of the Albany
Evening Journal, proposed TO visit the rebel
capital 10 the disguise Of an organ grinder, for
which, as he is u German jew, he is well fitted
He was provided with $40 TO purchase an organ,
and ostensibly proceeded on his crand. Sew
cral days afterwards he appeared with graphic
account of his journey to II chnond, and a dc.
scription of the dcfences Of the enemy, their
numbers, &c. Tie Secretary of State was so
charmed by the success of his undertaking, that
he procured the appointment Of first lieutcn.
ancy in the army for him, and fitted him out
with Uniform and sword. Within the lat few
days, however, tho Assistant Secretary of State
has. discovered that Hermanns had been on
visit to his relatives at Albany during all the
time he pretended to have been engaged in his
Richmond adventure aud had procured another
person to make the Richmond visit. OF course
the scamp's namo was at once stricken from tho
roll Of army officers, and the Jewish rocket has
come down very crooked stick.
