lines. MoRGAEs BRIGADE
HARTsvILLE, Tenn, August 22d, 1862
SOLDIERS: Yonr gallant bearing during the
last two days viii not only be inscribed in the
history Of the country and the annals of this war,
but is engraven deeply in my heart.
Your zeal and devotion on the 20th, at the at
tack of the trestle work at Sandersville, and Of
the Springfield Junction stockade, your heroism
during the two hard fights Of yesterday have
placed you high on the list of those patriots who
are now in arms for our Southern rights.
AL communication cut off betweea Gallatin
snd Nashville, a body Of three hundred infantry
cut up or taken prisoners, the liberation Of those
kind friends, arrested by our reFengetul foes for
no other reason than their compassionate care Of
our sick and wounded, would have been laurels
sufficient for your bTows. But, soldiers, the ut
ter humiliation of Gen. Johnson's brigade, com
posed Of t%wenty-four companies of regulars, and
sent on purpose to take US, raises your reputa-
ton as soldiers and strikes fear into the craven
hearts Of yOur enemies. Gen. johnson and his
staff, with two hundred men, taken prisoners,
sixty-four killed and one hundred wounded, at.
tests the resistance made and bears testimony of
your vslor.
But our yicto5es have not been achieved with
cut loss. We have TO mourn some brave and
dear comrades. Their names viii remain in orr
oreasts-their fame Outlives them. They died in
defense Of a great and glorious cause-Ehey died
Ike gallant soldiers, with their feet to the foe.
Officers and men, your conduct makes me
proud to command you Fight always as you
fought yesterday, and you are iuyincible.

The Chicago Times Of the 30th makes up tie
following synopsis Of its dispatches from Yr-
ginia, which are up TO the 29th:
The rebels have got into Pope's rear. On
Tuesday night they captured Manassas juno
ton, ohtaining a large amount ofFedcral stores,
and on Wednesday they proceeded as far az
Fairfax, rom which point Stuart's cavalry made
a dash on Vienna, which is only twBlve or thir-
teen miles from Washington, During these pro
ceedings, several fights Occurred, and our loss IS
reported as large. Gen, Pope sends a dispatch
to Gen. Halleck, under date Of 10 O'clock Thurs
day night, stating that, on discovering that the
enemy were turning his right, he withdrew from
WarTenton Junction to Manassas junction, ar
irving there three hours after Jackson had eVac-
mated it. Jackson retreated by way OF Center
vile, and was met by McDowel and Slgel six
miles from that place, lateiu the afternoon, when
a severe fight took place, which was terminated
BY the darkness. The rebels were repulsed at
every point. HeiHtzelman's corps were to move
on jackson at daylight yesterday morning and
Pope could not see how the enemy were TO es-
cape without heavy loss. There have been sew
eral other engagements, in which StuTges is said
to have lost nine cannon, and in another Hook
er achieved a complete victory.
There is a large rebel force at Lsesburg, and
it is believed that they intend to cross into Ma
ryland.
And under the head Of tho situation the
same journal adds:
The country is not, Of course, surprised atthe
bold and active operations Of the rebels Ia the
vicinity of Washington and in the Southwest
They were expected, and they are upon the ny
pothesis thRtif our armies cannot be beaten al
all. Oar armies are weaker now than they have
At any lime been, and vastly weaker than they
will be hereafter, and tie rebels are stronger now
than they ever have been or ever VIII he again
Their opportunity is before our new levies shall
be in tie Geld, and if they fail in #, they are
gone forever. We must, therefore, look for i'm
portanI results during the ensuing month.

AFUTURE POLIOY PREDICTED.


We have never doubted but that LINCOLN
would. as soon as be had the new levies collect
ed, take the position Of the ultras of the North.
and endeavor to crush the rebellion by arming
the slaves. To have declared this policy would
have prevented the conservatives from enlisting.
but once under control Of the government, Is
very many thousands Of them coon viii be, they
viii be forced to sustain q polio. they sbhOr,
and entirely at variance with their political
opinions. The Gorilla has not abandoned has
principles-they have only been cast aside tor q
purpose that viii soon be apparent
The truth is his administration is now prepsr-
ing to move We have recently had a report
from Washington shat a proposition to issue a
proclamation declaring a general emancipation
of slavery, has been and is now before the Cab
iuet. The result Of the first discussion was the
postponement of the subject, it was asserted, in
consequence of the opposition of SEWARD and
BLAIR. This reason is q shallow one. The
postponement was for efect-the two Secretaries
named being as much sbolitionists as their
peers. It was only put off until a more con
venieut season in other words, until every man
is got into the field who can be duped to believe
thst a conservative policy viii be pursued.
This win be the FIRST step. Following it viii
be the effort to create a ssrvile instruction. On
this point The New York Tribune of the 29sh has
d leader declaring that 'the real significance Of
Stewards lately published dispatch to CHARLES
+. ADAMS, lies in the intimation that if we do
not otherwise succeed in putting down the rebel
lion, ne will not hesitate to enlist the whole
slave population of the South as armed combat
ants on our side" And the Chicago Tribune
says thst aside row SEwARD's letter, and
from GREELEY's Interpretation of it, there are
other facts that warrant the belief that the ad-
ministraHon has been celebrating on the proba-
billy and necessity of adopting such q course
as would ultimately result, unless the rebels
speedily lad down their arms and sought for hn
ia the most fearful servile instruction
the world mas ever seen
Everything indicates that to such a feast we
viii be invited SO se0n Is LINCOLN thinks he
can safely prepare it. It IS in accordance with
his own principles. 1t is the foundation of the
party that elevated him. The leaders are be-
coming cIamo1oug, and viii not be satisfied until
the deed is done. In the meantime we would
be unwise to remain idle. The blow may be
struck st any moment-eertainly will be before
long. "FoTewarned IS to be forearmed." Let
US be prepared to avert the danger threatened,
and at once force the contest, as we soon can,
back, if not iaJo the enemy's country, at least
to It's borders. Let the suffsrings be felt by
those who weuld make us suffer. Let US keep
the danger from our homes.

On Tuesday, the 22d of August. Gen. J. E. B.
Stuart crossed the Hazel river, with three thou
sand cavalry, and proceeded TO Warrenton,
From this place be sent out q strong scouting
party, who proceeded five miles toward the Or
ange and Alexandra railroad, and returned, re-
porting no enemy in sight. General Stuart then
took up his lire OF march for Catleit's station, a
point on the railroad, ten miles on this side Of
Manassas junction, which was known to be the
enemy's principal depot Of supplies, and where
/ there was reported 10 be q force OF between five
aud six thousand men.
About dark cur cavalry arrived githin a mile
Of the station, when it was ascertained that the
enemy's numbers at that point had not been en-
aggerated There were in the en-campment at
least Eve thousand men. Gen. Stuart, without
delay, charged upon the eIAsmpmeht. Col Lee,
Of tie oh Virginia cavalry, led the charge. The
Yankees were surprised and psnic-stIicken, and
without q show of resistance fed, leaving eur
men in possession Of their camp. La the STAN
pede, three hundred and fisy Yankees we e
taken prisoners, among whom were one colonel,
three captains and fourteen ether commissioned
officers. A great number Of wagons and tents,
and an almost incredible amount Of stores vera
found in the camp and busnt, it being impossible
to remove them. General POpe's servant, two
horses and their capsIisons, his sword and uni
form coat, were secured. Captain Goulding,

in his possession sixty thousand dollars in Uni
ted States Treasury notes and specie. But per-
baps the most important article thai fell into our
hands was the mail bag, which had been made
up to go North the next day. 1t contained Off
cisl letters from Gen. Pope, Of the utmost i'm
portance, which are now IN the hands Of Gen.
Lee.
General Stuart retained possession Of the
camps throughout the night, the men being
busily engaged ia overhauling and destroying
the plumber. About four o'clock the next morn
ing the enemy made an effort to retake their
encampment, but were quickly repulsed.
At daylight, General Stuart, having secured
such things as be wanted and destroyed the bal
snce, set out on his return to WarTenton, which
place he reached about noon on Saturday.
His loss during the expedition was only two
men killed and Ave wounded. Pope's sword
was captured by Mr.. Charles Minnegerode, Of
this city.
The above information is obtained from Mr..
w. Keith Armistead, Of the Oh Virgins cavalry,
who was present throughout the expedition. Mr..
Armistesd arrived in this city yesterday and
brought with him the dress UNIFORM coat of Gen.
Pope. This article is said 70 be sent by General
Stuart to Governor Letcher. Il is made Of the

News AND REPears FROm mEm-

REkASs
Passengers who arrived here from Memphis
yesterday evening report that on the day pre-
yious some four thousand of our prisoners passed
down the river on their way to Yieksburg.
During their brief stay at the Memphis landing,
about four thousand dollars was subscribed and
collected up by The citizens, with which our gal
liant fellows were plentifully supplied with fruit
tobacco aud refreshments generally They are
By this evening probably at VicEsburg.
News had also been received at Memphis
from Cairo, announcing the occupation of Ar
Hngton Hghs by S%ToxEwALL JACKSON This
needs confirmation, though it is not at all i'm
probable, as that wss one Of ais points Of desti-
nation. Northern dispatches announc that be
had a force at Leesburg, som distance above
Washington on the Potomac, which, we have
little doubt, he has crossed ere this AID made
bis way into Maryland.
Should this prove to be true, the enemy has
been struck a blow from which he can never re-
cover.
The long oppressed Msrylanders viii flock to
bis standard by hundreds and thousands, and
all means Of Federal reinforeements being cut
of from the North, both Washington and Balti-
more must necessarily fall into our possession.
So mote it be.
Another report bad also reached Memphis
that SIX thousand Of our cavalry had attacked
andrecsptured Bolivar, Tennessee, with twenty
eight hundred prisoners. We are inclined to
think, however, that this report grew out Of
the engagement which came of six miles south
Of Bolivar, on Friday last. The place was gar
risoned by s Federal force of twenty-e eight hun
dred men, well fortified. and it was expected an
attack would be made on is by our forces last
Monday. Bat as we have heard nothing di-
recay from Bolivar, we are inclined to doubt
