in the actions Of the 18th and 2ls by which the hosts
OF the enemy scattered and signal and glorious

They left upon the field nearly every piece Of their
artillery, large portion of their arms, equipments bag

were driven from Virginia.

HANDOUTS FOR THE SoUTH.-'i'he Southern press
should keep before the people of the South and of the
world the astounding and unparalleled fact that the army
which invaded Virginia brought with them thirty thous
and handouts, which were taken with the other spoils
from the enemy This surpasses all that we have ever
heard of Russian Austrian despotism. 1t is almost
impossible to realize that the United States, Boosting
Itself as the frees and the most civilized of all nations
the most deliberate, inhu and atrocious plan should
have been formed to degrade and enslave free people
of which there any record in this any other age.
Who ever heard, in despotic Europe of an nva'
ding army travelling with thirty thousand handouts
