THE WAR NEWS,

Another battle has been fought in western
Virginia, and Garnett's army is well nigh an
initiated, he himself being killed. a portion
of Gen. McClellah's force pursued him as he
fled from Laurel Hill toward st. George, and
the battle took place last Sunday within eight
miles OF that place. The remnants of this
beaten army have probably fallen into the
hands of Gen. Hill. Meanwhile, reports from
Martinsburg intimate that Gen. johnson is re-
treating from the presence of Gen. Patterson's
command and making his way toward Manas'
sas Junction
1t is likely that we shall soon hear something
from that portion of Gen. McClean's force
that has been operating in the Kanhawa val
lev. against Ex-Gov. Henry A. Wise. He
could not make a very serious stand
against them, and it is probable that he
and his band of marauders, ere this,
have been driven across the mountains. Thus
far Gen. Mcclellan has been very successful
in concealing the movements OF his men, and
it is not likely that his next maneuvers will i'm
mediately be described in the newspapers; but

PURIFYING THE DEPARTMENTS.

The members of congress, who have been
together scarcely ten days, have met the REBEL
ion with vigorous and admirable courage,
which is worth dozen battles. In the limits
of its constitutional power, it has poured upon
the camp of the enemy constant and destroy
ing fire. Its response to the rquests and rec
concentrations of the president, so prompt, so
decided, so unanimous, so full of invincible
love of country, rising above the recollections
of differences and occasions for captious crit.
cism, show how solid is the basis on which the
government yet rests, and how reasonable is
the firm public confidence that its unity will be
preserved in the issue of victorious and tri-
umphant war.
1t is gratifying, Also to witness the unanim.
ity with which it has commenced the work of
purifying itself from implied completely with
treason by striking from the roll the names of
traitors in arms. The senate which has toler-
ated an arrogant and doalineering minority
for many years, while they insulted they pa
tience of the country, outraged the conscience
Of its people, and falsi6ed the truth of its his"
tory, is nearly purified from the faint which
they lett upon it. If the echo of their treason
is still heard in the voices OF the few remain
ing senators who have just taken the oath to
support the constitution of the United States
upon their lips, while perfdy was ranking in
their hearts, we are also reminded that their
voices have lost their power in the public
councils
Henceiorward the controlling influences OF
the senate, whatever may be the fortune OF
parties, will be on the side of union ana not
anarchy, of liberal and humane institutions
instead of those which belong to a dismal and
antique barbarism, of freedom and not slavery
The old dominion, which has rested like q
dead weight upon every noble enterprise, and
upon all worthy ideas, for almost genera
ton, begins to speak upon new key, and the
senate hears something like the voices of the
states&en-wAo dictated opinions and statutes
to the country at time when Virginia wa
true to her traditions, and to the best teach
ings of the republic.
Let the good work go on. Every place
which has been filled by a traitor, and who has
abandoned his faith, should be filed with a
loyal and true man. Every state is entitled
TO a full representation in the councils in
which its interests are to be questioned and
decided. Anything else is oppression; any
thing else is tyranny. Wherever Union men
recover their rights in the march of our victo.
torious army, and as fast as the usurpers are
pushed from their seats, they should be allow
ed the right of representation, without hunt
ing for precedents where there are none, bu
for the sacred causes which were INDICATED il
the struggle out of which the nation emerged
in the pleHtitude and bloom of its first indie
pendenee.

The papers say that Gov. Floyd has pre-
sented pair of magnificent horses to jeff Da-
Wis. The governor, since his opportunity of
stealing by the million, has had the means
OF figuring pretty extensively in the way of
gifts. But we don't believe the old rascal
would pay his debts, even if his stealings
were five times as huge in amount as they are.
We presume that the two horses which Floyd
has given TO Davis are not the same two that
he stole from Sam. Burke OF Jefferson coun.
ty, Ky fifteen or twenty years ago, for these
must be getting little old by this time
Perhaps some OF Floyd's admirers would like
know how the old horse thief managed his
little operation with Burke. Well he lay

to start for his home in Virginia, he heard
Burke say that he proposed selling very fine
pair of horses. ooh, don't sell them here, /"
said Floyd, "let me take them to Virginia, and
can Immediately sell them for you at twice
what they would bring here" Burke gave his
consent, and Floyd made off with the horses
| Burke waited, and waited, and waited, and got
tired of waiting.
| AT the end of about six months he wrote to
| Floyd, asking whether he had not sold the
horses. Floyd wrote back that one of them
had been for some time indisposed and he
| had therefore thought it best not to hurry the
sale, but that the invalid horse was getting in

soon fit for the market. Burke, not quite sat.
