Hill's brigade. Two or three DAYS
after we reached this place, we heard
a rumor that the Federal troops were
again crossing the river near Will
liamsport-whereupcn Gen. johnson
sent Col. jackson, (commandant Of
the post at Harper's Ferry previous
to the arrival Of Gen. Johnson,) with
five Virginia regiments, five hundred
horse under Col. Stewart, and Capt.
Pendleton's Flying Artillery, to guard
| that point.
We have heard of no trouble since
their arrival, although five of Col.
otewart's boys captured two Federal
officers who were accommodating on
our side of the river. Their names
have been published, but escape me
at this moment. Col. Hill has been
recalled from Roanney, and is now
here with the brigade to which the
Marylanders have been attached, and
Col. Elzie now commands it as !,
Brigadier. 1t is the third. The
first brigade, composed Of the fourth
Alabama, the second and eleventh
Mississippi and the second Tennes-
see, is commanded by Gen. Bee of
your State. The second, composed
of the fifth, seventh and eighth
Georgia, and the first Kentucky resi-
ments, is commanded by Col. Barlow,
of the eighth Georgia regiment, Col.
Mcdonald, who commands a mount

Account Of ITS Operations.

The Charleston Courier has let.
ter from correspondent, dated
"Head1uarters North eastern Divis.
ion Confederate Army, near Winches.
ter, June 80" giving a very inter.
esting account OF tho operations OF
that division. AS we have had but
little intelligence direct from Gen
.Johnston's command, and there is q
general expectation of a grand bat
tie between it and the enemy unde,
Patterson and Cadwallaaer, we copy
| he whole Of the letter as follows:
10 understand the present posi-
ton of Gen. Johnston's command,
and form any rational conjecture of
his plans and purposes, it is necessa-
~ to review briefly the occurrances
of the past fifteen days, and group in
their proper order the facts which
preceded, surrounded and immedi
ately followed the evacuation of Har-
per's Ferry. The intention to abau-
don this point when certain objects
had been accomplished, existed at
.A'| VI as Ills oICul)dtIOl. Slt-
uated at the western extremity Of the
valley of Virginia, remote from the
base line of our operations, and isola-
ted by natural barriers from rapid in
tercommunication with Richmond
and Manassas, its retention would
have required a hundred thousand
men to prevent the command there
from being surrounded. Gen. Scott
was sagaclous enough to discover this
advantage. and, never dreaming ofI
It's evacuation, matured his plans ac-
sordln@ly. Gen. McClelland with
$1,000 men, was to advance with
one-halt of his force from Grafton, by
'hiIlippa, and the other half from

The inability of the Federal authorities

health and efficiency are threatened, leaves
no alternative to your State Executive but
direct appeal to the people.
In addition to the duty with which you
are already charged, to aid in the procuring
OF blankets for recruits, you are hereby speci-

On Saturday afternoon the foremost pckets |
of Gen. Smith, near Lewinsvie, were driven in,
and a large body of Rebel artillery, infantry
aud cavalry appeared mile and half from
that place. 1t was thought that the enemy
was about to give battle in force. The whole
OF Gen. Smiths Division at once got under arms.
Gen. McClellen was Informed by telegraph of

all was activity and excitement After short

The NEW METHODIST CHURcH--The difficult
ty under which we have been luboring for some
weeks past,by the reduction ofour Office help has
thrown US upon the generosity aud forbearance
of our advertising patrons as well as contrba.
tors aud readers. Mails have been missed on
the usual day of going to press, and advertise
ments and communications have been reluctant
ly, but necessary deferred.
This is our apology for the commission of
portion Of the notice of the New NJ. e. Church
two weeks since. We now insert what was
then laid over. As it relates to the building
and finances, and the action of the trustees, it
has lost nothing of its interest, and will be read
now with satisfaction.
The building is 10 feet by 50, the roof
covered with slate, well proportioned
brick tower adorns the structure and the
whole is most substantially and thoroughly
built from foundation to tower, under the
especial supervision Of one of the most
experienced architects in the whole State,
Col. S. G. Porter of Cleveland l mention
this last, because mischievious gossip has
reported that the walls are unsound and
would fail. The basement and audience
rooms, with their rich freseoed walls in
neatness, elegance, symmetry and style are
seldom cqualed by any of our city churches
and all was built including the price Of the
lot at a cost of little short of $4,000. 1t
was found that by subscription, the sale of
the old Church and parsonage property
and other contribution that there remained
debt of nearly $4 900 on the new build
ing. There was pledged during the dedica-
tion efforts, by the large sympathizing at
dence, the liberal sum Of nearly $500,
leaving still a sum Of some $4,000 on the
Trustees Of the society, and to meet which
there seems to be hearty willingness on
the part of The people to take seats at an
an nual rent aud raise means in part as a
sinking fund in order to liquidate the bal
alce in the course of few years.
The efficient board of Trustees with thei:
