FROM VIRGINIA.,

Special tothe Knoxville Register.
LYNcHBURG, August 28.-RumoTs are thick
or an engagement in the northwest, in which
our troops achieved a victory, but they can be
traced to no reliable source.
Our forces under Gen. Floyd had several
skIrmishes with the enemy last week at Ty-
Tee's, ID Fayettc county. We killed eight or
nine Of the Hessians, and at Mountain Cove,
in the same county, we killed four and took
elk prisoners. Our loss is one killed.
Gen. Lee, at last accounts, was not far from
Huttonsville, Randolph county, and was moving
steadily foTwaTd-the enemy meanwhile re-
treating. Probably before this time there has
been a general engagement.
Accounts from Manassas say oCr army are
expecting another attack in their present posi-
ton.
The health of our camps is very much i'm
proved, and the men are in excellent spirits.
President Davis health is improving.
RICHMOND, August 29-The mail agent on
the Central road reports that Gen. Floyd was
surprised on Monday, and lost twenty-five men.
On the next day, be went in pursuit Of the en-
envy, and captured one hundred and seventy
hye, and thirty wagons. The number OF killed
and wounded not reported.
In Congress, Chiffon, Of Alabama, offered the
following resolution, which passed unan-
imously
That the President is hereby requested 60
cause to be prepared a stand Of colors and a
sword, to be furnished and paid for out OF
funds placed at the disposal Of the President
by the contribution of members Of this body.

Tie FcdrraI ColoncIrrIer.

There is a C0loneIIy in the federal army,
who belongs to Cox's division, and whose reg
iment was marched into Nicholas county, to
Summerville, with the view Of getting behind
Wise. This colonel is we'll known in West
ern Virginia as a pedlar in furs, or rather a
dealer in fuTs. His business was to boy skins
from the hunters in that pant OF the State. He
is q Yankee by birth and character. These
who know him we'll speak Of HIN as & great
rascal, and we have no doubt that be is His
general reputation among Western NIrginians
is that OF sharper and cheat. He acquired
very considerable knowledge Of the country,
and learned all the highways and by-wsys of
the mountains. l. was possible this knowl-
edge, more than any real merit, that placed so
unmeritoTious a man in q position Of command.
It was, no doubt, thought that a man so well
posted on the topography OF the country could
easily find his way to its heart, and des0late
the hear'h-stones Of those kind and hospitable
people who had shared SO often their fare with
him, and whom be had so often cheated OF
their property. Such a man for such a pur-
pose was a marvellous proper one for Lincoln,
and, Of course, WIS promoted from bis occupa
ion to go a cOloueliDg among the people be had
so often tefrsuded. L, is to be hoped the colonel
will fall into the hands Of some who remember
him for past o]lenses. II he does, he may
thank his stars if be saves his own skin

PrEyzFceYing,

The privatcer Dixie, which sailed from a
port in the Confederate States some weeks ago,
returned lately after a successful cruise. Soon
after getting TO sea she took the bark Glen,
from Philadelphia for Tortugas, with a cargo
Of c0sI, which vessel was successfully run into
Beaufort, n. G.. She afterward captured the
schooner Mary Alice, from the West Indies for
New York, which vessel was sfterwaTd re-
taken by the steam frig5te Wabash. The
Mary Alice had on board a valuable cargo Of
sugar, and was consequently worth something.
The bark Rowena, from Laguayra for Phila-
delphia, with one thousand bags Of coffee, was
also captured and got successfully into port,
and as both vessels and csTgOes are 10 good
order, they were valuable prizes. The RoweBa
is a fine bark Of about three hundred and forty
tuns, rating about a No. II, and the coffee is
no doubt worth here about forty cents a pound.
Out Of this the Dixie will no doubt be able to
declare a dividend. The brig Robert r Kirk
land, from Turk Island, of and for Baltimore,
with a cargo of salt, was alsO spoken. but
after frightening, the captain Of the Kirkland
was allowed to proceed, Baltimore vessels no
being legal captures. The Dixie was chased
into a neighboriDg harbor by one Of LincOln's
steamers, but she got in safe and sound, and

Tories In North Carolina.

L. A. B. Duckett, OF Spring Creek, Madison
county, n. c., furnishes the Asbeyille NsJ0s
with the following:
a fellow named William Cook, haiiEg from
Washington county, Tennessee, recently made
his appearance in this neighberhoGd, and called
on Mr.. r. S. Cook. The latter soon discover
ed that bis gHest was a " bad egg" and pro-
ceeted to lay a trap for him, by pretending to
be a Lincolnite, and soon found the bait took,
and be pumped the said Wa. Cook until be
got out of him all be knew. Cook, among
other things, impaired to bis new found Spring
Creek acquaintance the fact HAT there is a
regiment Of spies in G~Teenville, Tennessee,
commanded By one Blair; one in Garter c1ua-
ty, commanded By Weaver; one on Cherokee
Greek, commanded by Parks; and that these
men all have arms and Announcements OF every
description. He said that andy Johnson was
to force his way into East Tennessee with a
large body of Yankees, when these tories are
to scatter out on their DEVILS mission-some TO
Kentucky, some to Virginia, and some to
Western North Carolina Their work is 10
steal, kill and burn. Asheviils is to be burned
to the ground, and the inhabitants put to tie
sword. He furthermore stated that be cane
through the mountains by way OF Laurel, in
this county, and that the people OF that settle,
ment will fight under the tory bann-T. Hc
said they were only waiting for the troops tC
leave for Virginia to mms operations
He said he was on his way to Murphy, il

THE FALLEN STAR-It was in the month Of
July, 1914, thai the famous battle Of Lundy's
Lane was fought. There Gen Winfield Scott
won his first ~Iaurels. There bis star rose in
the ascendant, and in the ascendant it has re-
NAMED until the month Of July, 1861. For
nearly half a century he has been the military
head Of the country, and aRyscampaign or
movement planned by hin was morally certain
of being successful. But the prestige OF sue
cess is now broken. His star went down in
blood at Manassas. on the night os the 21st,
never to rise again. It rose in July, on the
battle field, when he and those with him were
fgbtisg a foreign foe. Il hls set in July, on
the battle field, while bis men were fighting the
so diers of bis native land. Il was fitting
that Virginia, which gave hin birth, should be
the scene Of his disgrace and downfall, and
that the same day in the week-Sundsy-the
same month in the year, and nearly he ami
versary Of the day when be achieved his great
est success, should also be the day and month
when the scepter scnould depart from him.
There seems to be in all thesethings the work.

A SIGNIFICANT ITEM.-By the last arrival
from England, we have 2 paragraph in The
London Post, (LoTd Palmerston's organ

mean a great deal. In a%lluding to the posi-

compelled to drift into the quarrel, the blame
will not rest with England, but with a gov
ernment which has endeayored, to the ruin of
innocent commerce, to enfo 'ce the validity of
a blockade which it is manifestly incompetent
to maintain" Government papers do not con-
template contingencies of this kind publicly,
unless there Is a strong probability of their
occurring. At n rste, Lord Palmerston does
mo- consider it improbable, that England may
drift into the quarrel; and be has settled it in
his own mind, that The blame Will not be hers,
if she does.

A correspondent of the Richmond Hiig
lately attributed The killing Of Col. Cameron,
Of the New York Se~venty-ninth [Scotcb) reg
iment, to "Old Texas" who is thus described
By the South CaroliriGs :
"Old Texaso will be remembered By every
one who was on Morris Island, during the
eventgul scenes there. His name is 4. J. Hart
ley, q printer by trade, and d man Of 2 good
Seai Of intelligence. He resided formerly in
Memphis, but left there several years since For
a small town in Northern Texas, where be es-
tablished a paper, which he had pushed up to
the point OF making 4 good living. Being q
bachelor, be made his home in the Office, and
by Industry AID perseverance, had surrounded
himself with many comforts, all Of which he
saw destroyed in one night by the aboItiouists,
be escaping with only the clothes be had on.
Those who have heard him relate his story
will not soon forget the flashing OF his eye as
be drew his tall form to its utmost hight, and
uttered his imprecations against The cOwardly
thieves who had destroyed the labor Of years.
Il was not surprising that he was among the
first to volunteer in defense Of the Sou'h against
those whom be considered bis natural enemies.
The above Incident is characteristic Of the
man. We regret to learn that be is wounded,
but trust he may soon be able to take his
place again, and assist in canceiling some part
Of the debt Of vengeance he owes the invaders
Of our soil.

GEN. BUFLER's RATD ON TEE SEA
70 q ~

In calling attention on yesterday morning to
the necessity of looking TO the defenses of our
sea coast, we intimated that the beginning OF
2 campaign in that direction might be devel-
.oped in a few days BY an attack from the feet
under command Of Gen. BUTLER, which sailed
a few days since from Fortress Monroe. In
less than six hours after the appearance Of the
article, the telegraph brought Us an account of
his assault upon Forts Hatteras and Clark, on
the coast Of North Carolina, resulting in their
capture, with a loss on our part estimated at
from sixty to eighty killed and wounded, and
the remainder taken prisoners.
This caBno. be otherwise regarded than as
an unfortunate affair, though the overwhelming
'ds against which our little g~arrisons were
ed to contend deprives it Of all claim to the
,~elIstiou of a victory. The result furnishes
Amy a very good foOthoId for future ope-
na.Ions against Norh Carolina, and will neccs-
state the keeping Of 2 considerable force in
that vicinity, unless the fortunes Ct the day
can be speedily retrieved BY driving Butler
and his command from their position. We may
reasonably look for the latter alternative.
