that there is the greatest CONSERVATION imagina-
bic among the whites in that section, in couSe-
auence of an appIehended negro revolt. Sew
enteen negroes, most of them free, bad been
hung, copies of Northern newspapers having
been found upon them, containing President
Lincoln's proclamation TO lberaie the slaves.
The terror of the rebels is reported to DO beyond
description. 1t is said that the negroes Of the
different counties around Culpep 7 are engaged
in a conspiracy for a general Instruction.
FAIRFAX Court HOUSE, October 20-On
the return of General S,ahl's expedition e small
party was sent out toward Bristow's Station, as
il was understood force of the enemy was
there during last evening. Three Of tho party
returned and reported the rest had been cut of.
Their story was soon alterwaTd proved false, by
the arrival of the party unhurt, having received
no injury. They had been attacked near Cat
lett's Station by about twice tneir number, aud,
engaging them at close quarters, succeeded in
checking further advance.
WASHINGTON, October 20-The pressure for
9 forward movement is becoming almost gem
eral. It is urged with an earnestness that hes
never been equslled. The argument set forth is,
that q protrsction Of our present inacsion will
ruin the cOu2tTy.
This m rning's Republican contains the fol-
lowing:
A refugee who recently camo into beadquar-
teTs gives information Of & highly important
character. He escaped from Auesyille, Culpe-
per county, Virginia, and states that the great
est CONSERVATION imaginable exists among the
white people of that whole section Of country in
consequence Of an apprshended slave revolt.
Seventeen negroes, most of them free, had been
arrested On suspicion of being engaged IN plan
ming the uprising Of the entire colored popu;a-
lion.
Copies of lala newspapers were found in their
possession. Ths fact that such proclamation
hes been made well known among the negroes,
and that il produced the NEST startling terror
among the whites is beyond dispute. Appre-
tensions of a Te-ensctmeRt of the Maj. Turner
horrors are felt to al alarming degree TIE
seventeen negroes were probably taken cut at
Amesyille and hung.
IJ is ssid that the negroes in the different
counties around Culpeper are ali engaged IN he
conspiracy for 8 general Instruction"
We have information h0m Fredericksburg Of
a late date. The CONSUMPTION law Of The Dsvi5
government is being rapidly enforced. Every
man coming within range of the operations OF
the act is forced in the army.
To those thai demUT or offer any resistance,
little mercy is shown, and they are thrown into
jsil at once. A party confined in jail al Fr5de-
ricksburg broke out and most of Them escaped.
Some Of these have been found in this city,
while others went TO Prince WiIliam county.

Federsls were about TO retake the city. In an
t~icipstion Of such q movement, all the goods
ami stores in the city were placed into cars
ready 20 move South. The rebels say that
while the Union army occupied that city, shoes
sufficient to keep up a supply for tho whole
Southern army passed through for Richmond.
All goods thus struggled through the lines were
turned ovoI to the rebel government.

OF the Potomac still delays, the impsdence of
the nation viii no longer be controlled, and
some one else will be mazda TO assume the grand
responsibility.
