FROM uARPER'S RY-BRUTALITIES OF
THE FEDERAL TROOPS.

Two young ladies belonging to llarpcr's Ferry,
Miss Salc Becker and Miss Annie Clasky, arrived
in this city by the Central cars OF Sunday. They
are both refugees from their homes, and are seeking
temporary abode among friends in North Carolina.
They have been instrumental, for some time past
in giving aid to such of our friends as have fallen
into the hands of the lIessans.
On Wednesday week they assisted in the escape
of one of IIendersons troopers, who had been cap
tured by the enemy. Their completely in the affair
was discovered by Gen. Banks, who ordered MISS
Becker to be taken into custody. She managed
however, to escape on Sunday week, and, with her
friend, walked to Hatown where conveyance was
procured to the railroad From this source We have
the following particulars:
The Federal troops around Harpers Ferry are
committing the most fiendish brutalities and are
spreading terror wherever they push their maraud-
inp expedtions The common practice among the
pryates seems to be to sell their raons for whiskey,
under the influence of which they enter the houses
Of priyate citizens, Union men meeting with no
more favor than secessionsts and committing every
speces of depreciation. The furniture in the house
of one gentleman, physician, was completely de-
stroyed because he refused to furnish dinner for
party of drunken soldiers.
On Tuesday, Oct. 10th, a daughter Of Mr. Hunter,
(who runs the ferry between Loudoun and Harper,s
Ferry little girl only nine years Of age was kill
cd by the enemy She was playing beside the river,
when Yankee soldier on the opposite side, DELHI
erately shot her through the head. The body float
ed about on the river until recovered, some hours
after ~ = =.
The children, while going and returning from
school, are frequently shot at by the Federal pckets
All who can get away from Harper's Ferry, with
out too great sacrifices, are doing So and escaping
to the South. -!Rishmond Enquirer, Oct. 22ad.

military force of that take possession
of the State, ard practically supercede the State
Government and they have seen, with complacency,
these foreign soldiers seize, mpriSon and pursue
hundreds of your fellow citizens-flgitives without
a crime-over the plains and mountains of Kentucky.
In word, they haze attempted. without consulting
you, and against your recorded Wishes to place you
in active hostility to your Southern brethren, and
to fix your political destiny with the North.
Whatever may be the condition or motives Of the
members at Frankfort they have exceeded their
thority. No legislative assembly or other body,
other than elected by your Sovereign Voice for
that purpose has the right, in this great revolution
to determine, finally, your political future. The
people, although taken by surprise, and almost un
armed have risen to indicate their wishes and eX
pel the Northern invaders. The eagerncss with
which their aid has been invoked by those who have
plunged the State into her present unhappy condl-
tion is the strongest proof of their conviction that
but for the presence of these soldiers, the action Of
the members at Frankfort would be repudiated by
the people, when the Northern invaders shall be
sent back across the Ohio river When the State
shall be relieved of all troops from abroad and the
people of Kentucky, by fair election, shall deter
mine their destiny, it will be the clear duty of every
citizen to acquiesce Or to retire from the State.
For those who, denied by the Legislature the pro-
lection due to the hunblest citizen, have been de-
lvered over to the tender mercies of foreign mer-
cenaries, and hunted like cartridges on the noun
tains, what remains but Imprisonment exile or re.
sistance? AS of them, intend to resist will
avoid conflict with Kentuckians except in necessary
selfdefense, but will unite with my fellow citizens
to resist the invaders who have driven us from onr
homes. To this course We are ilnpelled by the
highest sense of duty and the irresistible instincts
of manhood 10 defend your birthright and mine,
which is more precious than domestic ease or prop
erty, or life exchange with prond satisfaction a
term of six years in the Senate Of the United States
! for the musket of soldier.

Another peace rVToyemeut,

We find in the Newark On. J) papers that the
people of that city who are in favor of peace are
holding meetings to express their views. At an ad
iourned meeting held evening last week, the fol
lowing resolution was unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS That in view of the present deplor able
condition of the country, the members of this meet
ing deem it their duty, and in accordance with their
Constitutional rights to petition TO the Congress OF
the United States about to assemble, to interpose
f in their Judgment it is kest for them to do) their
power to put an end to the present troubles now
existing in ths,our once prosperous and happy, but
now distracted country, and to save US from the
ravages of civil war.
Resolred, That a committee of ten be appointed by
the chair to prepare and circulate petition for
signatures of those persons who may be in favor Of
permanently restoring peace and prosperity to our
unfortunate country.
A letter from New York says:
Notwithstanding the Indignation Of some Of our
ultra political journals, whenever the very Thought
of peace is whispered, can assure you that a very
earnest movement is on foot in this city, with q
view to memoriaize CongressIin favor Of the Crit
tenden or Border State resolutions rejected at the
last session.
The New York Tribune, too, becoming little
more inclined for peace. 1t says:
Nowhere on earth would speedy and honorable
peace-a real peace-be hailed with more heartfelt
gladness than by us. If the traitors prove too
strong for u.s. we are for peace on their terms rath-
er than useless continuance Of the war.

The hattie Of Bethel.

A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer writ
ing from Williamsburg, Va, under date Of the 18th,
says of the battle Of Bethel:
This battle field is historic ground. At this spot
early in the revolution battle was fougnt between
a small force of Virginia militia and strong de-
tachment of British regulars. In the action Col.
Frs Mallory. eommandant of the Virginia forces,
fell mortally wounded. He was grandfather OF the
late Hon. Frs. Mallory and Of Charles X. Mallory,
member of the Convention.
This conflict, of the 10th instant, was the hrst
reaI hattie of this revolution and it was most
+roordinarv and disastrous defeat to the Yankees.
Thev brought up from 900 to 5000. five regi-
T,pntsl and our forces did not exceed l2OO-abont
ZOO of whom were actually engaged. The battle
lasted about two hours and half, and cur loss
was one killed. one dangerously wounded and four
sIiohtly injured. The enemy's loss we shall never
know: but we know enough to say it was very
GREAT They bore off their dead and wounded from
the beginning until the close Of the action, IN large
numbers: and left on the field and In the neighoor-
ing woods some 25 or 80 dead and few wounded,
and among the fallen some ofcers-0ne Of distinc-
t;on We are led to believe. In the Ine Of their
treot IN Hampton q distance of nine miles. dead
man was occasionally found, and many Of their
Wounded were carried to dwellings on the road
hev pressed into heir service all the wagons and
arraees and carts to to be found and some OF them
were drawn by the soldiers to take away their dead
and wounded.
NV little county has been abandoned, too, and
oyerrun by the enemy. But we do not complain,

We are informed, says the Richmond Enquirer
that the following paper is circulation among the
Presbyterians of this State and is rapidly obtaining
signatures. We cordially commend the manly and
patriotic spirit and the devotion to Christian prn
cple and duty in which the movement has its
origin:
Whereas, the General Assembly of the Presbyte!
rian Church, D. s., with which we have heretofore
been in cordial connection, has, by the vote of q
large majority of its members. reported to US
sustained the Government of the United States in
wagiDg the most unchristian, criminal and afro
cious warfare of modern times, upon the free and
sovereign States known as the Confederate States
of America, thereby violating the first principles of
our holy religion in its injunction of "peace on
earth and good viii to men," and in its prohibition
of aggressive war upon any people struggling for
its independence and liberties.
Therefore, the ministers and elders of the
churches said Confederate States are hereby in
Tited to assemble in advisory convention, in such
ratio of representation as may seem to them ad-
visabe, at Richmond, Va on the 9th day of July
next, to advise and recommend measures to ascer-
tain the of the Presbyterians in regard the
formation of General Assembly of the Presby-
byterian Church in the Confederate States of Amer
lea.
Ministers and members of the Presbyterian
Church throughout the Confederate States are re-
quesed 10 give circulation to this paper, obtain sig
natures and forward to Rev. NJ. D. Hodge, Rich
