Without expecting much, either of amuse-
ment or instruction from them, some
times glance into such papers as the Whee-
ling Press, the Cincinnati Enquirer, the
Ohio StatesmaH, and others of that tribe
These papers apd their allies have hard
task TO perform. They are. trying to re-
verse the Scripture maxim that "no man
can serve two masters" They pretend to
support the Government against the Ma.
tionat Enemy. But they say one word
against the enemy and ten against their
own dnolisndiog ueigbbors at home. But
the word which they speak against the.en-
envy Is word of moderate, formal, fsehui-
cal, opposition; while the words which they
speak against their own neighbors, are
words Of hate, Of malignity, Of cunning
SANDER and foul abuse. Their tree is like
the Indians. IL has got so strait that it
leans quite over to the Southern side
They hope for Southern votes after the res
toration OF the Union. Even in this they
may be mistaken. For the Southerners
may prefer bold, determined, open enemies
TO sueakipg, treaeherous. donble-faced
friends. B1ttheir effOrtsare great enough
probably, forever to prevent restoration
of the Union. Did these cunning aud un-
scrupulous men ever think of that contin-
gencyT Did they ever reflect that with
their powerful aid secession may be toe

attract attention to one of our tanks by
formidable demonstration.
The whole force consisted, as nearly a.
eau be hsoertained, of about 20 900 infantry
and cavalry, and about 20 pieces of artil-
lery. all under command ofthe redoubtable
Stuart, of White House memory. A Fed
eral force was despatched to meet them,
aud that same night sharp skirmish ca
sued at Newport, which resulted in the
rebels taking the back track into Virginia,
, without having inflicted a material loss
upon our troops.
1t Is believed that the rebel army, In its
hasty retreat from Antietam Greek, sepAr-
{ AIRED into several bodies, which sought TO
| reach Virginia by the many different forda
leading across the Potomac. At many of
! those fords were sharp engagements yes

the pursuing nationals. In every case our
troops succeeded in killing and capturing
/ large numbers of the enemy, and forcing
them TO abandon their material. Without
doubt the rebels are NOW all across the riV-
er, aud the campaign in Maryland has end
ed, not only for the present bat forever.
/ The experiment of invading the Free
States, has cost the rebels not less than
fifty thousand men ia killed, wounded aud
| prisoners, besides m enormous quantity
of war materials, From all Indications,
the rebels are rapidly leaving the line of
the Potomac, aud uaking their way back
I to Richmond. Prisoners represent them
to be utterly demoraliEed and dispirited
With the unfortunate issue of their attempt
to invade the loyal States. Stragglers are

isied that the Federal Government is too
1 powerful for them,
Refugees aud stragglers just in to-day,

A rumor has reached me that Captain
James z. Smith, of Virginia, was arrested
by me some time ago for gross misdemea-
nors committed BY him at various times in
Western Virginia, wish to say this much
through your paper by way Of explanation
and correction
Some time in the summer of 1861, Major
Ralph 0rmstead and Lieutenant of the
9th Virginia Regiment was murdered near
IL opposite this place by q Captain William
Smith, of Kentucky. Some time in the
latter part of the month of July, or first OF
August last, 1 was introduced TO "CaDtaiu
Smith (James E and was informed by
others-probably rebel sympathisers, that
he was the notorious rebel Captain Smith.
Immediately ordered him under arrest,
aud did not learn my mistake until after
Capt. William Smith effected his escape
from our lines. Since that time have
frequently seen Capt. James E. Smith, to
whom explained the matter satisfactorily;
TO him acknowledge my Indebtedness for
important services rendered the Govern
ment since my acquaintance with him, and
am satisfied the loyal men of Western
Virginia viii ever look upon him as they do
now, as one of her truest, bravest and most
efficient men in their behalf, for the pre-
servation Of their homes and their Govern
ment. Very respectfully,
