Volunteering in Graut Comfy.


The people Of this county went to work
promptly after the Presidents call for more
men; they worked in a proper manner,
upon fair and patriotic representations,
and without false dealing raised their Gull
quota, besides an excess Of at least 500 to
ppIy upon any future order for men. No
heavy premiums in money were raised by
subscription to inluce volunteering, and
but a Slight taxation was ordered for the
needy families ofyolunteers The people
we're told Of the dangers Of our country
and that more men were wanted, and i'm
mediately the call was responded to BY
those who thought they could best be
spared from their homes and families.
There are unpatriotic men in the coun-
thy, plenty Of them. They worked on the
sly to prevent enlisting, but soon found
themselves suspected and spotted by men
Of their own party. It is a distressing
thought that some men can allow their
party preiadiees 70 overcome their loyalty
and make them TRAITORS.
The work Of volunteering is over for
the present, we trust for he war
and ella remote day beyond. Cur county
has achieved great credit for patriotism and
must henceforth be respected. One in ff
teen Of our entire population or 1920 have
enlisted to save the Union.

SECOND REPORT.
Washington, AUG.

Washington, Aug 30.
The following was just received from the
Headquarters Of tile field Of battle at Grave
ton, near Gainesville, to-day:
10 Mj Gen. Haileck;.
We fought a terrible battle here yester-
day with the comoiued fo ces oftae enemy,
which lasted with continuous fting from
daylight until after dark, by which time the
enemy was driven fromthe field which we
now occupy. Our troops are too much
exhausted to push matters, but | shall do
so IN the course Of the morning as soon as
Porter's corpse comes up from Manassas.
The enemy is still in ourfront but badly
used up. We have lost not less than g.
coo men killed and wounded, and from
the appearance Of the field tie enemy has
lost at least two to our one. He stood
strictly on the d csnsiye and every assault
was made by ourselves.
Our troops have behaved plendidly.
The battle was fought on Tie identical bat
tle-iela Of Bull Run. which greatly increas-
ed the enthusiasm Of oar men.
The news just reached me from the font
that the enemy is retreating toward the
mountain; l go forward at once to see.
We have made great captures. | ain not
able yet to form ~ idea Of their extent.
