Great Battle of Ce.ar Run Mountain.
LIS, saturday (,aat hot day. sferneao,
an advanced frca Of Gen papa's Union
arms, under Gen Haak., m,t ,ac army q
"StonewalI' Jackson, EA,'i, and others,
a, place called CciAr RIA, ar Slaughter
Mountain, somewhere between 'u!p'I?er
c. II. and the Raqiian river, in Central
Virginia. The enemy grsa,ly oa'aura-
bercd tha, portion Of our army engaged,
we,e well posted, anl for time drove our
men back. Oar artillery came to the res
cue, and although the Rebels mr>sel ;l,ig
solid columns before it, AMI w,re r,jlf,E-
ced, they were moved down 5y hundreds,
and the Union army kept the field. Sau,
day, each side was under arms, ta' only
a small skirmish resulted. Mouday, jack,
son sent f4g Of truce for permission to
bury bis dead. Tuesday, Gen. Pore tele-
rraphed that Jackson was r.troati1E over
the Rapilln, towards Gorl1nsgl.'c aud
Richmond, tu, was harrlss'I by our cav
airy aud artillery, under Bufrl. The
enemy burned bridges lcaigl tA,m, aad
showed signs OF disaster and far.
This was harl-fou-h, action. oar
loss is 200 killed, AID loco or I-o0
wounded and missing, iuc.uliug many
ofi:ers. Col. Knip.'s 45.h Pa. suffered
severely. The enemy'sl0ss j. much heaviest
in killed, among them Gen. Winier
Gems. Gcary and Augar NJ our si!o were
wounded. Geus. Pope aud Bauks were
once under FIRE from beth armies. Banks
won additional credi, for his General-hip,
but was disabled, after the battle, by
being run against by one Of the cavalry.
N'Dowell aud Seigel rendered some assist
auce.
Viewed from the fact that the enemy
had planned Gas they rhoughD a great sur.
prise, and have rc.reatcd, 1t is Union
success.
Gen. Burnside, on the East, is cIi!f ling
the transportion Of the Rebels
Justice and Responsibility.
Deciding upon a draft as the most wise
aud equitable way of providing for the
emergency of the times, the Government
has determined that none shall excape its
fair operation. Rich as well poor are to
be held to its requisitions. When it was
frst proclaimed, there was crush" of
"trayelers" for Europe, for Canada, for
California-but measures were simult4ue-
Ously made to stop the exit Of all, liable
to draft, until the draft was made. by
these efforts, hundreds aal thousands Of
'tours' are postponed until a more favor
ableopportuuity. Several "NOrtA Siarseek-
eio" were stopped at WilliamsPort, in this
State. Mistakes may some times haPPen
10 all those cases Rev 4. ID. Hlwu, OF
Sbanokiu, was accidentally found among
the suspicious ones a: Wii.iamsport, bat
easily proved bis "souniness," and of
course had No bad huu0r towards the
officers.
Government is right in being thus
stringent, aud showing 10 favers to men
rich enough to try to avoid their response
olhty BY moving away. If not called for
BY lot, they can finish up their j3urneyiogs
IN more cool and pleasant weather.
nn-The error noticed by the Shamo-
kin Herald, it will be seen, was corrected
before the receipt Of its last issue. We
do not concedc that favor to one in New
Berlin cancels claim, from Lowisburg,
upon tue friends Of foar Milton mem.
and are sure that candidates, iD close con-
tests, are some times materially benefited
BY persons outside Of their District. We
bad heard, from various quarters, the
Statement, alluded 20 by the Herald, that
change vas ef.c'cl III Snylcr, for cer-
tam purpose, By one interrsted-anl sup
pose 1t to be true; but the popular Will is
on record iu votes.
