~ Uroal anu aWIui was the obllga-
ton OF our fathers 10 establish this mighty
republic, but far greater and more awful
is our obligation to preserve it. If our
fathers had failed, they would have been
honored by the lovers of human liberty
for a noble effort to accomplish glorious
impracticable object, but if We fail, the
generations will scorn and curse us, as q
race too feeble in soul to do what all man

a CAR ID.

The undersigned cannot permit tie op-
portunity to pass unimproyel Of making
this public acknowledgement of the hon
or and qualification afforded himself and
many others, late on Sunday evening or
early Monday morning, by sernade OF
complimentary concert. The performers,
who we're evidently amatures, exhibited
the most wonderful combination of talen,
which it has ever been our fortune to wit
ness, especially in power and endurance.
For the space of not less-than two hours,
the exercises were continued with unaba-
ted interest and unnagging zeal. While
il might seem invidious to particularize
We cannot forbear to speak in terms Of the
highest admiration of the performances OF
the tdsso profundo, as we'll IS of the ALE
gretto movements of tho sopranos. The
staccatos were particularly fine, and elicit
ed great attention. The controlling in
huence Of the performance is best known
by the fact that there was no disposition
on the part Of the auditory to indulge
IN slumber, although We are compelled to
admit that there was some loud talking.
One popularity We noticed; instead of be-
ing as usual, IN group, the performers
were scattered over large extent of ter
rltory; extending for many squares around,
and, for anght We know, throughout the
city. We regret to say that our invita-
tions. to the company, TO partake Of our
hospitality were declined. their engage
ments, probably, not permitting. We
hope, that on future occasion, VIC may
have due notice and be prepared to give
the company suitable reception. Our
acknowledgements are due to our efficient
city Marshal for affording the company
the necessary facilities for preparation and
exhibition. BosE-I-owE.

A JOAN D'ARc "A marauding band OF rebels
IN Kentucky, on their way to Mount Sterling,
stopped at the house of Mr.. Oldom, and, he being
absent a. the time, plundered him Of all his
horses ana Smong them q valuable ore belonging
TO his daughter Gornelia. She resisted the out
rage as long a. she could, but finding all her e.
forts In vain she sprang upon another horse and
started post haste toward the town 10 give the

ed another, and meeting the messenger from Mid

the road belonging 70 q rebel of1cer, which con-
talned pair Of reviewers, and soon she came up
with the advancing marauders, and ordered them
10 halt. Perceivtng that one Of the thieves rode
her horse, she ordered him 10 surrender her horse

CuLpIPEl Coulr.HousE, Va Aug. 12-7 D.
'm-rhe battle Of Saturday, the 9th, 10 one Of the
Of the desperate valor and unfaltering discipline
displayed by our troops, the obstnacy Of the con-
test and the heavy loss on both sides but because
Of is important effect on the campaign Of which
IL makes . part.
The campaign on the part Of Jackson is an at
tempt to penetrate and recover the valley Of the
shenandoah, where the richest supplies Of the
enemy are drawn, and the possession Of which
was Of political importance in the endeavor to
hold Virginia as part Of the bogus Cohfederacy,
hardly to be estimated. At the same time the
rebel leaders hoped by this movement to 90 threat
en- Warrington and Maryland a. to relieve Rich
mona and withdraw again our armies to the line
Of the Potomac.
To secure such objects a. these, and knowing
and the rebellion stronger than could again occur
In the war, the Richmond leaders sent the flower
OF the Southern infantry under their most popu-
lar and enterprising generals; large body Of
cavalry under their most distinguished cavalry
ofacer, Msjor General Stuart, and an abundance
Of artillery.
when Jackson had arrived with his forces a.
found the disposition Of General Pope's troops
such that not only his purpose to enter the valley
was foiled, but his own direct communication
with Richmond were interrupted, he then called
for further reinforcements, and with these, which
were freely furnished, attempted to stem General
Pope's further advance upon that railroad, the
obstruction or even the permanently threatening
oi WHICH nusk OAR from tne hlchm0nQ cOnspird-
tors all hope Of the material or political control of
Central Virginia.
jackson attempted by feint upon Madison
Court House and Sperryvills, to detain our forces
ut the latter point, while at the same time he
threw the mass Of his forces, numbering at least
thirtY-fve thousand men, by way Of Orange
Court House upon US At Culpepsr, expecting TO
find only portion Of our forces there, march on
sPerryville from Culpeper, and crush the army
corps Of General Sigel.
His plans were completely foiled by the rapid
concentration Of our forces at Culpeper and the
advancing to meet him at Cedar Run. The cool
and determined temper Of Gen. Banks accepted
the battle as soon a. offered, and the battle OF
Saturday afternoon was fought between the ad-
vance Of Jackson under Ewell and himself.
After endeavoring in vain TO rout and drive
Banks' corps, Jackson found himself compelled
at night, by the rapid movements In front Of him,
to fall back to q stronger defensive position In
Cedar Mountain, and finding his lines Of retreat
becoming insecure, on the succeeding night he
refreated altogether, retiring beyond ksbsFtson's
river, and again beyond the Rapidan.
The result 10 that Jackson 10 again foilsd and
forced TO abandon his operation, and his prestige
has been severely Impaired. He will be rapidly
followed by our army.
