various reports as to the force Of the gueTillas,
ranging from 500 to 1000, but the former is
probably nearer correct. There was a sharp
fight at BuckhanuOn, in which Showalter's com
pany is reported to have been badly cut up AL
the reports are probably exaggerated
PHLLIPPI, August 3l-AT report reached this
place yesterday that a large force Of rebel cav
airy had made a raid on B~uekhsnnOn, taking
possession of the Place and bHing nearly all Of
the little force Of soldiers stationed there. Capt
Reese, Of the Oh Virginia regiment, now at his
place. received orders from Colonel Wilkinson
to be on the alert for fear Of a dash on this place
from that direction. The captain and his boys
were ready for them last night, and are locking
for them to-day. There was considerable ex-
element among the people Of Phiippi during
the whole Of last night. Nothing has been
heard from BUckhann0n to-day.

city yesterday, announcing the arrival at Clarks-
burg Of the 18th infantry and the portion Of
Carlin's battery which left here on Sunday, but
no enemy had yet appeared It would seem that
the rebels have abandoned their intention OF
taking ClaTksburg, ifthey ever entertained such
q notion. Il is thought tina. the rebel f5rc9 has
been greatly overated, and that they have al
ready gone back where they came from, for fear
Of being caught and annihiated. At this WI
ting we have heard nothing from our reporter
at Clarksburg. We may receive something be-
fore the paper goes 70 press.
We learn from passengers who came over the

CO TT Fo0TE !-GovernOr FOo!s recently
offered a resolution in Congress, " that the Hon.
r S. Mallory, Secretary OF the Navy, does not
possess the confidence Of Congress or the COM
try" The resolution was discussed at some
length, when a resolution was agreed to appoint
ing 6 select committee to investigate the affairs
Of the Navy Department. Mr.. ESote moved to
reconsider, aud proceeded to diseant at length
upon the incOmpeteney of the present Secretary
OF the Navy. If it were tho determination of
the government to retain Mr.. Mallory after the
expose made there. he should not repine, although
hs should regret it. He then told an snecdote
Of an acquaintance Of his, who, when he was a
Young man, resolved, ike many others, to
marry. We give the anecdote, as it is pretty
pointed: " So he went to house where dozen
young ladies and a dozen young men were as
sembIed. Il was a log house, and at night,
when they retired the young men heard, through
the thin partition, the ladies' talking about their
beaux. One Of them said, "Oh, as to Thomp-
son-I do love Thompson he's such a fool y

P~RIsoEERs CAPTURED.-A large proportion
of the 18th EUnion) Tennessee regiment, inelud-
ing the Geutenant-colone Hoge.and, was cap
tuTed by our forces across the river last Wednes-
day. Lieutenant-C Colonel Hogeand and Others
of them have arrived in town. The colonel Of
this regiment, VIM. Cliff, is pretty well known
in this county Of which he is a resident, but
was not with his command at the time Of It's
encounter with our troops on Wednesday. He
has two sons ia the COnfederate service, We
understand.
lsutenant- Colonel Hogeland is from Indiana,
and appears thoroughly disgusted with the com
pany he was caught in, 4 O.. Union Tennes-
seeans. Indeed, IN the ~eolonel's own language,
he thinks the regiment he was with mot worth
a d-n''; that they ran after the first fire and left
him clone to take tha chances, which, he admits,
were rather slim. He is very candid and unIe-
served in conversation, and Acknowledges the
= rebels are getting the Union forces in q
tight fix. He is -agreeably surprised at his kind
and comfortable treatment, and remarked 1t was
in great contrast with what General Buckner
received while a prisoner Of war. We believe
that Colonel Hogeland is the only one attached
to old Gifts regiment who is not from East
Tennessee.

now be considered among the things that were.

FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA

WARRENroN, Va, July 19.-The late Colonel

Tor some one. asked her for whom she wore
such amount OF Grape. She answered, I" for Col
Ashby, the best man that ever lived
The concentration of Gen. Pope's army to-
gether with the late stringent but just orders, do
not seem to agree very well with the Secession
lists here.
The recent rains have swollen the streams In
this region, 30 much SO that many Of them are
impossible. The Rappahannock is 80 swollen
that at many Of the usual fords Ii Is entirely i'm
possible to cross. The railroad leading from
Alexandria has been completely repaired, and
good time and connections are easily made be.
tween Washington and this place.
we have SUFFICIENT troops here to resist any
effort that "Stonewall" Jackson might make
against US. The army manifests great enthusi-
asm In the appointment Of Gen. Pope to its com.
mand. They are willing to fight, IL they can be
led In the right manner against the enemy.

BEFORE RICHMOND.

In CAMP, NEAR HARRIsON's LANDING, July
Yesterday, after considerable trouble, We
obtained the necessary document to enable us to
20 On board the Louisiana, she having arrived
the night before.
Procuring boat we soon found ourselves on
board, and proceeded at once to the object of our
visit-to obtain the names Of the unfoTtunates on
board. We had hardly commenced our task
when an order came for those who were not 90
Ing down the river with the stea mer TO 90 at once
ashore, and that the boat would leave in five
minutes OF course we skedaddied, y regret.
ting that the purpose of our visit could not be
accomplished.
Those with whom we had chance to con-
verse, told us that the most Of those on board
(between $50 and 4O0) were those who were
wounded In the battle at Savage Station, as well
al those who had been disabled in previous bat
tles, and been carried to the last named station.
In the hurry Of the retreat, we were necessarily
compelled to leave these men behind Some Of
them have been as far as Richmond, and all of
those with whom we spoke exp essed themse We 9
satisfied with the treatment they received from
the Rebels, and that they had done all and the
best they could for them.
Two deserters were brought to headquarters
yesterday afternoon, but nothing new could be
learned from them. They corrobOrate the fact
that this main lines Of the rebels are at least ten
miles from here, and occupy the same ground
that we once did-that Of F air Oaks Gaines, Hill
and the Trent estate. They tell the same old
story-that thousands of Others are willing and
ready TO desert whenever favorable opportunity
turns up. In our judgment, that Is so long COM
ing that the bare possibility Of 1t ever Offering
seem further of than ever
These deserters, too, tell us of the dreadful sui.
fering arising from the want OF proper nourish-
ment Yet somehow, notwithstanding this des-
titution, they seem to retain their health and
strength, and when the fighting 10 going on they
do not seem to be In the least debitated by either
hunger or thirst.
This afternoon, while sitting quietly writing
the foregoing, our ears were greeted with one OF
those peculiar sounds we are at loss to describe
vii han AN.All
noise, winding up with sound resembling much
a railroad train at Lightning speed. 1t was, how
ever, but single she'll, fred by one OF our gun
boats, sending their compliments to the rebels,
who are In the woods, directly opposite us, and
some three miles distant from the FLYER Though
only one shot was fred, IL relieved US for the
time of the monotony 20 apparent here for week
past and bid us hope that, at least in that locali
ty, there is some prospect Of having something to
enliyen u.s. The object Of this single shot, and
the damage, II any was done, will have to be told
by the Richmond papers.
For the past two days no trouble or detention
has been experienced by the transportation de-
partment, the rebels apparently having vacated
the points which they held below US on the
river.

DRAFTING.

We are very sure that great repugnance to the
idea of drafting continues to be entertained in Of
fetal circles here the impression being that the
Presidents call for 800 900 additional volunteers
Is already being responded to throughout the
country with an aacrity that promises to secure
the whole number in much less lime than was
recently anticipated As at present informed,
our belief Is that the plan Of restoring the existing
regiments to their maximum numbers under the
law by consolidation Is that most favored by the
authorities here. 1t appears that the proportion
OF officers lacking In the decimated regiments 1 Q
quite as large as Of men there being no more Of
the former remaining in them, it for duty, than
sufficient to officer as many full regiments as vii
result from such a consolidation
