WAR NEWS.

We have this morning some interesting details
of the battle which took place on Saturday about
SIX miles south of Culpeper Courthouse, Va
1t appears that the Federal forces under Gen.
Banks attacked the combined forces of Generals
jackson and Ewell, $4,000 strong. The battle
opened in the afternoon with artillery, but the
infantry soon became engaged, and fierce fight
ragged till six o'clock, when it seems to have
been suspended without a decisive victory on
either side. Gen. Banks, however, it is stated,
held the ground he had taken. At night Gener-
ais Pope and Mcdowell arrived with reinforce
ments, and the tired troops in the front were re-
lieved, battle being again offered to the Confeder-
ates. They did not see fit to accept the challenge,
however, although they are reported to have
at about the same time received reinforcements
to the number of $4,000. The loss on each side
is reported at from 1000 to 3,ooo. General
Banks was severely injured by cavalry trooper
rnnning against him. Generals Geary and Au-
CUR were also severely wounded, and Gen. G.
had to submit to the amputation of an arm. 1t
is also reported that both Gen. Winder and Gen.
Trimble, of the Confederate army, are among
the killed. This, however, needs confirmation.
Gen. Winder, however, it is generally admitted,
is badly wounded f@
s. Letters from Gen. McClelan's column mention
a report that the Confederates have fifteen thous-
and troops at Petersburg, and fifty thousand be-
tween that place and Richmond. They have
been, it is added, moving men across the James
river for week past.
Advice from Port Royal announce that the
British steamer Ladona, with a valuable cargo,
has been captured by u. s. gunboat Madilla,
while attempting to run tho blockade off Fort
Pulaski. ea
Among the dispatches published this morning,
is one from the War Department, explaining the
order to prevent the evasion of military duty.

WARRANTED oNE-HALF PERUVIAN ,GUASo.
Seven years. use of this Guano has
rendered 1t staple fertilizer. Its quail
ty has been maintained with rigid exact
ness througha series of years, and it may
he relied upon in the future, as in the
past, for uniformity of effect. It contains
MORE AMMONIA and PHOSPHATE OF
LIME THAN ANY FERTILIZER SOLD IN
THIS COUNTRY, andis therefore of great
er real value. Experience proves its great
utility in improring the soil, whilst its i'm

THE GOTHS AND THEIR BOOTY.

The recent depredations committed BY
the Federal troops in evacuating Baton
Rouge. complete the resemblance of their
invasion to that of the Goths and Van
dals of European history. When the
hordes of these barbarians descended
upon Italy and sacked Rome. they made
the works of art. with which that city
has always abounded. the special objects
of their devastating propensities. When
the Yankees abandoned the Capital of
our State last week. they purloined from
the State House the statue of Washington.
1t was splendid emanation of genius.
"A fitting monument of the patriotic lib
erality of our State, and testimony of
our affection for the memory of the Great
Rebel. II was carved from solid block
of marble of the purest and whitest Ital-
ian, and represented Washington in his
proper costume. differing IN that respect
from the great statue of Canova and the
more recent one of Greenough. This
was the work of Powers.
1t were vain to conjecture what rs to
be its fate. If not destroyed. it will GER
tsinly be defaced. or perhaps will be-
come part of that collection of valuable
objects of vertu with which Butler and
his trading brother are making their for
tunes. His stock has also been latterly
increased by the confscation of Mr. Sill
dell's property. among whose household
furniture were found many precious gems
of art. the accumulation Of years. to the
selection of which the refine taste of Mrs.
Slidell had given special attention.
Within the Capitol was also deposited
the valuable collection of Books which
contained many rare and costly works.
Additions have been made to the Library
every year by a special fund of the Leg
islature. and although. situated as it was,
it was of no possible use to any one, ex-
cept the few residents of the town, no
citizen can hear of its destruction without
indignation and regret. Buffers troops
sought the rooms, tore the leaves from
such books as gave outward indication OF
value, defaced the buildings. and left the
whole in ruined mass on the floors and
in the corridors of the building.
