~ Howell Cobb is among McClel'

phis Bulletin makes the suggestive in-
euiry: "How will he feel on being
brought back Q captive to Washington.

Gle Sans funds and plotted the trea'

are both suffering 30 severely" He

help pull down the Stars and Stripes.
and raise in their stead, the Stars and

it will be as prisoner OF the Government
that he betrayed; and IL he has any
conscience left, after SO many years OF
wear and tear among the machinery ol
disunionism. and so many years of &C.
tual warfare against the Government,
of which be was one of the highest
sworn officers, bis emotion on seeing
the Capitol dome once more cannot be
enviable.
Il Is q question for the Government
what to do with this especially distin'
guished traitor, who is now in its hands
Certainly it does not seem right that he
should come under the categary of or.
binary prisoners of war, liable to be
exchanged for any one Of equal rank.
He was eonspirator against the nation
long before any State bad seeded
He was & traitor long before he went
out of office. His treason was com
mitted in Washington. We have GER
tainly right to accept him from the
operation of the agreement concerning
the exchange of prisoners. The rebeI
government has accepted from it all cap.
tured commissioned officers from the
late army Of Gen. Pope. and is treat
ing them like felons. We must except
Cobb also; hold him till the war is over
and then punish him. Perhaps this
mode Of dealing with him may moi
please his old friend, James Buchanan,
nor the secession Democracy generally.
but it would give great satisfaction to
the people at large.-Louisviis Jour

Speed sviftsr. Eights-wild Northern Night
Whoss feet the Arctic Islands know,
When stifening breakers. sharp and white,
Gird the complaining shores of snow;
sshd all thy winds 10 sweep the void,
And howl in mountain-passes far,
And hang thy banners red and cold
Against the shield Of every start
For what have ] TO do with morn.
Or eu1hmsr's glory in the wales
With the blithe ring Of forest-horn.
Or heckoning CLEAN Of snowy sailsf
Art thou not gone in whose blue eye

Gone like the eeho of sigh,
Beside the loud-resoundins seat
Oh! brief that time Of song and flowers.
Which blest through thee the Northsrl

And on the bleak and lonely strand;
The forest galls the starry bloom
Which vet shall pave its shsdevy floor
Bot down my spirits aisles of gloom
Thy love shsii blossom neysrmorel
And never more shall battled pin<s
Their solemn triumph sound for me,
Nor morning fringe the mountain lines,
Nor sunset flush the hoary sea;
But Night and Winter Ell the sky,
And load with frost the shivering air,
TIL every guest that burries BY
Chimes wilder with my own despair.
The leaden twilight, cold and long,
IL slowly settling o'er the wave!
No wandering blast awakes a song
In naked boughs above thy grave;
The frozen air is stilf and dark;
The numb earth lies in icy rest;
And all is dead save this one spark
Of burning grief within my breast.
Life's darkened orb shall wheel no more
To Loves rejoicing summer back;
Ny spirit walks wintry shore,
With not star to light its track;
Speed swifter. Night thy gloom and frost
Are free TO spoil and rsvage here;
This last wild requiem for the lost
IpOur in thy uuheeding ear.

With It's gorgeous bright hued sunsets,

And the silver colored minnows,

From the screen ofnight's DARK hours,
Then the calm refreshing Eephirs

Forest green is changing,
Unto various colors gay,
Gold and purple unto scarlet.
Falling where the brooklsz play.

Chanting solemn farewell strains,
Pluming each bright wing preparing

From tho Virginia valley.

iStdunton, June GA letter received
from Strasburg states that General JacX,
SOL, on Sunday, the LIST inst, met ana
engaged large detachment OF Federais
under Gen. Shields. The enemy had
made descent on Front Royal recap
turing all the prisoners and takinga at the
same time about $50 OF the 18th Georgia
regiment, who had been detailed as guard
over the Yankees. The Federals then
proceeded in the direction of Wnches-
ter, and met Gen. Jackson's army ut the
above mentioned locality. Our troops,
although inferior in numbers, repulsed
the enemy with heavy loss, and took, it
is stated, 600 prisoners. Our loss, in kill
ed and wounded, was small.
Our loss at Front Royal was due, it is
said, to the treachery Of one Ed. Ran
dolph, who had, accordind to statement,
charge of our picket guard, and either
let in or led in the enemy, thus surprising
our troops This same Randolph was
tried on last October for the murder of
his wife, but was acquitted on the plea
of luuacy. He was, during the early
part of the war, according to statements
in the Northern papers at that time, cap
tain of a company in the Yankee service,
but deserted and came South, and with
in three weeks after his return murdered
his wife. To this insane ~ man, accord
ing to account Of our troops who escaped
from Front Royal, was entrusted the safe
| ty of our soldiers, and the recently cap
tured stores located at that place. For
tunately, our loss was triAing, as nearly
everything had been hauled away, but q
number of our wagons were captured
The train Of cars Mt that station were
burned by our troops before leaving.
Gen. jackson fell upon, between Win
chester and Martinsburg, a train of one
hundred empty Yankee wagons, which
had been sent on towards Winchester tc
remove the stores from thence. jackson
sent them on to Winchester, had them
loaded up with small arms, ammunition
and other military stores, and sent them
up the Valley to Staunton. Our troops
still retain possession of Winchester anC
vicinity.
Later,-News has Just now arrived thai
large number Of prisoners, over two
thousand, are on their way to Stauntor
from the Valley. They have reached
North river, which is too high. to cross a

belled, and were shot down by the guard

The Forces ON the slst and lst.


We have heard various estimates
placed upon the forces that fought the
late battles in front of this city,. At first
1t was said that the enemy had thrown
over about 10000 men, and that all our
army was about to fall upon them. Why
that was not done, we are not soldier
enough to know. IL. would have been
eminently in the style of the old mas.
tiers, and would have resulted in the ut.
ter humiliation of the enemy this side
Of the river, compelling him 10 most
disastrous retreat, and proving decisive
Of the campaign. There were no doubt,
obstacles in the way of which we are not
aware, and which will be cleared up here
after, when the historian, with all the
documents in his possession, shall come
to treat OF these eventual times.
rhe Wig, Of yesterday, says that only
10000 of our men fought. while the en-.
envy deployed n force of $4,000 against
us. From other sources we are informed
that we had 10000 men, while the enc
my had $4,000 on the field From all the
information we can gather, it seems GER
tain that they were nearly, if not quite,
two 10 one. Now, while we can hardly
applaud the tactics which, with so great
force as we had, allowed the enemy to
be superior on the important point, wc
have learned most important secret
from these battles. We can beat him
two to one. II he come with only equal
numbers, as he will be compelled to do
hereafter, we can annihilate him. 1t
must be recollected that our brave boys
not only drove him from the field, but
stormed his entertainments with the Wig
or and impetuosity of veteran soldiers
The Imperial Guard of Napcleon or the
42dregiment Of Scotch IIighlanders, could
not have acted more courageously.
Our loss was heavy, of course, where
we had to storm entertainments so strong
and so situated. But it has been much
exaggerated. We learn that $500, Kill
ed and wounded, would cover it ALL
! Considering the forces engaged, this is not
heavy loss. at least in comparison with
European battles. There was. we learn.
very unusual proportion of wounded,
to swell the list, and of these q larger
proportion than usual received wounds
in the arms and hands, and will recover
OF the enemy's loss, we have no means
of ascertaping the exact amount That
it was enormous, everybody who saw tho
field OF battle. admits. Some say that it
was two and half 20 our one; some that
it was three; some that it was rs four
and some that it was even five. Negroes
and desertcrs, escaped from their lines,
say they hurled four thousand. At least
they say the officers told them so, and
that the wounded exceeded all calcula-
ton. Killed, wounded, prisoners, and
drowned, we have not the least doubt
that this battle cost them at least 10 900
men. But it has cost them, morally,
more than this. 1t has taught them the
extreme difficulty of reaching this city,
and must, of course, have had upon their
minds demoralizing effect. On the con-
trary, it has inspired our troops with the
highest enthusiasm. Equal in numbers
upon the whole, they will be full of con-
lidence hereafter.-R Richmond Dispatch, 9Th.
