For the .SDectotor

For the Spectator
Mr.. EDITOR In an article published in the
Rockingham Register over the signature of ever
itas,'' the writer argues as an objection to the
election of Col. Baldwin as member of Con-
gross from this District, that he has always been
an Anti-States Rights man, trained in the Ham
ltonian School Of politics, and that in the organ
ization OF our new Government he will be likely
to exercise dangerous influence.
In answer to this objection, which is the chief
one offered by ssVeritas'' for the benefit of the
public, beg leave to present you with an ex-
tract from private letter received few davs
ago from Col Baldwin. It is as follows:
GAS to my politics., L doubt if there is a man
in the whole South who goes further for States
Rights or strict construction than I do did
not do so under the United States Government.
because its history was very different, and its
policy different. But am what is called an in
divldualist and, as such, am opposed to the ex-
ercise of authority and power by any Govern
ment beyond the absolute necessity of it's own
preservatiOn.''
From this extract it will be seen that what
ever may have been Col. Baldwin's peculiar no.
tons in regard to the theory Of the United States
Government, he is, under our new one, as sou
as any in the South, and that holding such
views in regard to it, it would be quite as mpos-
slble for him to exert a dangerous influence in
the Confederate Councils as it would be for
s'V Veritas'' himself, who, judging from the tenor
of his article, was doubtless among the first 20
resist Federal encroachments upon the rights of
the States. IsLEHAM

No News from SeWelI Mountain nor the
GIeenb Ter River.

On the Oh Inst, Gen. Rosencrantz, with the
whole of his forces on Sewell Mountain, retreat
ed in the direction of Ganley Bridge. He was
pursued by our forces, or part of them, for the
distance OF II miles, buG they could not overtake
the enemy. Since that time, we have heard nc
news from that quarter of any interest.
We have received no news of special interest
from our camp on GreeDbrer River since the
engagement of the 3rd inst. The enemy, with
their characteristic truthfugness report that they
killed 500 of our men and routed and scattered
the whole command. They have the happy fac
ulty of converting di graceful defeats into gori-
Gus victories. Falstaff would blush a. his at
tempts in that line, if he could read the reports
in the Northern papers.

Canfure of n Lincoln Flag.

We have seen Regirneptal flag which the
enemy at the battle at Greenbrier River on the
3rd inst., ran off aad left. They must have been
badly frightened to run off and leave the flag of
the ''stars and stripes" which they seem to rev.
erence to such degree as to be willing to sacri-
fee their liberties in its defence. By the appeal
to support the s.stars and Stripes" the Lincoln
administration succeed in Inducing the simple
dupes of the North to surrender all Of their lib
critics into the hands of cruel and despotic
power which rRles them with rod of IRON
This flag of the enemy was picked up on the 3rd
inst, by N. 3. Wyne, private in the Quitman
Guards, of the lst Geo. Regiment.

For the SDectntor


An Infamous article appeared in the last Lex
ington Gazette, purportlng TO De from the Edi-
tor in reference to Col. Harper, which, as a
friend. I desire to notice and characterize as it
deserves.
1st. Col. Harper's explanation of the stern ne
cessity under which he forced to quit the
Army. due alike to himself and the people, is
referred to in terms OF brutality which snow the
Editor to be a MISERABLE BLACKBOARD.
2nd. Col. Earper's sacrificing his commission
rather than submit 70 wrong, is represented as
allowing himself to be ''run over.'' The Editor
thinks he ought to. have DESERTED and run the
chances of saving his commission through the
clemency of a Court Martial Col. HIS views
of propriety and honor were very different.
Now, all have to say TO tnls is that the wri-
ter shows himselfto be both KNAvE and FOOL
and have not a doubt will also prove himself
to he a COWARD. BULL Rum

ED. SPEcTAToR-SIR My attention has been
called to publication liz the Lexington Gazette
rejecting very severely upon those having charge
Of the Hospital for sick soldiers in Staunton, and
nave been repeatedly asked my opinion Of the
truth and justice of like charges. My compa-
ny was stationed in Staunton nearly month, dur
ing which time several of my command were in
the hospital, from whom l heard no complaint
was frequently in the Hospital, and visited
many OF the rooms containing sick soldiers, and,
so lar as was able to judge, their treatment was
KIND and considerate, every attention being paid
them that was possible under the circumstances.
N OF only were the officers and those in authority
Kind, courteous and humane gentlemen, but the
citizens generally exhibited sympathy and re-
gard for the wants Of the soldiers, extending to
them hospitality that we have met with no
where else to the same extent.
Respectfully yours,
G. G. OTEY,
Capt. of WhartOn's Battery.
