The Latest News.

On our lines around Richmond every thing has
beeu quiet for the last several days. Rumor, how
ever indicates quite stir in the camp of McClel-
Ian. We learn that the impression prevails among
our pickets that Mcclellan is about to change his
front or abandon the idea at present of attacking
Richmond Others infer that he designs move
ment upon the South side of James river. What
ever may be his purpose, it is hoped that our COM
manders will never let him move upon them by
slow approaches. We incline to the opinion that
he is getting ready to sat doTn, by terrifying his
position at all points, to force us to attack
him Such an attack would involve the risk of a
terrible slaughter of men. Having fortified he
could spare some Of his force to check Jackson's
movements.
The news from Stonewall Jacksons command is
confirmed Gen. Ewel attacked Fremont on Satur
day last near Cross Keys, five miles from Port Re-
public and repulsed him with much loss. On Mon
dav Fremont was reinforced and attempted to re-
inforce Shields but could not cross the Shenandoah
On Monday Gen. Jackson attacked Shields at Lew
istown their forces being about equal, and after
terrible battle of four hours, completely routed him.
capturing six pieces of artillery and many prisoners
1t is said the route complete as in the case
of Banks. Our loss in both battles is estimated at
800 in killed and wounded.
Quite an engagement occurred between our forces
under Gen. w. D. Smith and the Yankees on Tues
day last on James Island. The enemy was re-
pulsed and driven back three times, until he retired
to his entertainments under the protection of his
gunboats. Our loss was about 60-the enemy's not
known.
We have no news from Beauregards army, or
from the South west There is nothing additional
from Chattanooga to that which may be found in
our war news" column.
An Atlanta paper states that man direct from
Nashville Tenn, afirms that Andy johnson was
killed by ExGov Neil S. Brown, on account of his
vexatious and tyrannica treatment, and that Brown
was hung by the excited mob of Yankee soldiers
forthwith.

PERSONAL.

The course of certain presses in this State towards
us personally, while it By no means disturbs our
equanimity, demands . simple statement once for
all They meanly and falsely insinuate that in pro-
posing the name of Gov. Graham for Governor first
and then of Col Vance, we knew they would de.
cline, and thus leave the way open to oursef They
measure US by themselves. They are incapable OF
rising above sordd selfishness Bound down by
self and invincble partizan proclivty in all they
say and do, they are ready to attribute the same
base propeusities to US which govern them.
Every gentleman with whom we have conyersed
and with whom we associate, knows WELL that we
have in the most earnest manner declared that we
desired no Office whatever at this juncture. We
suggested Gov. Graham's name, confidently believ-
ing that it would meet the views Of large majority
of the people, Tin which we were not mistakenly and
that he mould certainly accept Those intimate
with us, know that his declination was serious
disappointment to US. With the same feelings and
expectations we have suggested the name of Col.
Vance, honestly preferring both of them to our
self for that position. And we now say for the
comfort of the squads that Col Vance sOi run, and
that be will distance any they may choose to
against him. Indeed we now begin to think from
certain indications, the squads will drop Col john
ston's name, and shall not be surprised if they
declare for Col Vance or for some new man.
But perhaps we ought to say, for the special COM
for and edi6cation of our enemies and maligners,
"Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart,
Little dogs and al"
that we venture the assertion that no man in North
Carolina has received more, if many appeals, per-
sonaly and by letter, urging us to allow our name
to be run for the Office of Governor as ourself
These appeals have not come from the politicians
but from the people of the State, in such numbers
as would startle the hounds who are constantly
barking at us. Let them bark on, and remember,
that when we want to be Governor we shall say So

, Old stonewal, sa,n.

The quick movements and the successes of the
heroic jackson, come quicker and faster than the
eager paintings of the public for news can anticipate
After the retaking Of Winchester, it was rumored
that jackson was in Maryland ready to pounce up
on Washington, or Baltimore or Harrisburg
This was not true. small portion,of his cavalry,
perhaps, crossed the Potomac and burnt some of
the railroad bridges, but jackson remained about
Winchester arranging to secure his booty and re-
move it to a safe place. As shrewd General as
he is knew that having left considerable hostile
force in his rear, he must clear them out before
pressing on.
In % days, jackson marched from Staunton to
Mcdowell, where he whipped Mroy thence to
Franklin, 80 miles thence to Harrisonburg, over
Shenandoah mountain, 65 miles thence to Front
Royal, DO miles, where he whipped the Yankees
again, taking many prisoners; thence to Winches-
ter, whipping Banks, 20 miles; thence beyond
Charleston 26 miles-taking in all about 5000
prisoners, about 10000 stand of small arms, so
wagon loads of ordnance stores, 20 fine army wag
ons 10000 lbs. of bacon, 200 cheeses, 100 head of
Ohio cattle, cavalry horses, saddles &c, and about
100000 worth of medical stores, besides destroy
ing much. To save his treasure, he fell back into
the Valley, where he has since encountered Shields
and Fremont, routing and beating them and still
adding to his stock of captured goods, which we
hope by this time are all secured.
He appears to he at this time the focus for all
eyes. His policy is the only one, as we have insis-
ted for months, which can bring us safely out of
this war. Other Generals sit down before enc
INV md itch and fnrtif thair
by disease, short allowance and bad food, while he
is always in the saddle and keeps his in spirits
and good health. Were all our Generals to adopt
this policy, the prospects of the Confederacy would
brighten in every quarter In three weeks.

CAPT. FREELAND, OF 0RANGE.-Capt Freeland's
company of the 9th N G. State troops, was detach-
ed as a guard for Gen. Smiths headquarters, on
Saturday the 31st the day of the first battle near
Richmond He went into the engagement with the
22d N. c. regiment, under Col. Lightfoot. He had
his sword drawn, and the scabbard was shot in
twain His leg was at length broken by ball, and
some of his men were bearing him from the field
when, being hard pressed by the enemy, he urged
them to leave him and save themselves. They did
so reluctantly. He was captured with four Of his
men. The company behaved nobly in the action
We trust that Capt Freeand who is one of the best
officers in the regiment will survive his wound

Gen.Branch.


From the air of truthfnlness, which pervaded the
article of Hanover" giving account of the fight
near Hanover G. H., Va, we, in common with other
papers, published it. We readily therefore pub
lish the correction by "Hanover," in which he ad-
mits he did injustice to Gen. Branch
A correspondent of the Charlotte Bulletin says
that the 18th N. G. regiment is in line near Rich
mond He also states that the reported loss of Gen.
Branch's brigade in that encounter is about $780,
Why is it that no official report of the losses have
been made public except the casualties of the 18th
N. G. regiment2 A correspondent Of the Whining
ton Journal blames Gen. ]. R. Anderson, who he
says was within miles with large force, but did
not render Gen. Branch any aid. The annexed is
the card of Hanover"
RICHMOND, June 6, 1862.
To the EDITOR of the Richmond Examiner:
In your paper of May 3st appeared an article on
the battle in Hanover, by Hanover" The author
afterwards found that facts had been uninten-
tonally msstated and that certain expressions had
been used which might, if unexplained, be constru-
ed to reflect upon the personal bravery of general
ship of L. OBJ. Branch therefore Hanover re-
quested you, on June 1st to insert article expa
natory of this first article and was told by your clerk
that the article would appear if possible Will you,
Sir please publish said article ifpossible and if not,
please publish at least enough to assure the public
that Hanover" is now satiied that Gen. Branch was
on the field before gun had been fred and that nc
ordered all of his forces into position and did not
keep battery and four regiments idle at his side
while the enemy was moving down the Eighteenth
and Thirty-seventh as was at first stated.
Gen. r. E. Lee has thanked Gen. Branch for bis
management on that occasion and for the conduct
of his troops and the first article, if unexpl m
ed might do injustice to brave officer it is hoped
that you will at least allow an explanation.

As matter ofjustice to our neighbor of the Re
gter We will state, that after last number was
issued, discovered that he was not the Editor of
the Petersburg Lntelgeneer at the time the article
appeared in that journal, which we copied apologize
Ing for Mr.. Stanly as a black republican. We have
since examined the files of the Register for 1857,
and find that our ncighbor disapproved, in very de-
cded terms, of Mr.. Stanlys conduct in California
lie has therefore, been consistent in this respect;
and, as he is seldom consistent in his public
duct we feel that he Is entitled to this admission to
say nothing of the justice of it on our part. Our
hsgh0or never does US justice but that is no reason
why We should misrepresent him. The cause we
advocate requires nothing but truth and fair dealing
to sustain it.

We talk of combining our forces-of Withdrawing
from the sea.coast-of advancing into the Northern
States-of the dsafection In the North-that she is
growing tired of the war-that she is bankrupt
that she cannot raise more forces-that France and
England must interfere and all that, but we repeat
what we have often said, that nothing will do but to
FIGHT. We must fight every where-all the
time-wherever the enemy shows himself-and we
must fight for victory-for peace-for independ-
ence-for bread, for every thing. We must fight
vigorously, impetuously and giantlke. Our move
ments must exceed Buonaparte's in quickLess-in
shrewdness-in impetuosity and daring and power.
jackson has set the example to all Generals and
to the whole country. Let Jackson and Price and
Magruder be reinforced and turn them loose upon
the enemy every where to conquer die, and some
thing will be DONE Oh for the spirit of our Marions

tion-thc spirit of Andrew Jackson in the second
war-of lack. Taylor in the Mexican war, and of

might hope for early and complete success.
