And such a Staff all foreign names
Quite wonderful to hear

For such 1rigadier.
I've Baron This, the Duke of That.
And Prince Of Tother, too,
And people ask me ''what on earth

It's plain TO all but vulgar minds

There's nought like title, blood and style
To aid Brigadier.

Drink brandy. wine and beer.

No one expects that viii fight,

Give me but money and good clothes,
And I'll be harmless, quite;

That seems not very clear
How can the Government afford

and shall relate them in as few words as
possible
The first is skirmish that occurred al
small village about IL miles from here, IN
the direction OF Winchester On Thursday
evening the lst Virginia Cavslry, about 600
strong, started on a scouting expedition, and
travelled in the neighoorhood of eight miles,
when they stopped for the night In the
morning they started again, and at O'Clock,
lust as they had entered corn field TO feed
their stock, hey were attacked by about
500 hundred rebel infantry. The boys
sprung to their saddles in an instant and
returned the fire with marked effect. The
firing lasted about one hour when the reb
els retrealed il every direction, leaving 33
dead on the field and so prisoners. Among
them were Gel. Balm, who commanded the
rebel forces, their Lieut. Colonel, and thlr-
teen commissioned officers of all grades
Their Major was killed. Had the infantry
come u2 in time the whole force would
have been csptured. Our loss was killed
and woundbd. The dead were sent 20
their friends on Saturday. The prisoners

SECRETARY CAMERoN's CONTRACTS Van
Wyck's investigating Committee is in pos
session oil about thirty contracts with the
signature of Simon Cameron, Secretary of
War, attached to them. This is at direct
variance with his statement 10 Congress,
that all contracts were given out by the
proper beaureaus of his department 1t will
be difficult TO reconcile the deliberate as
ling facts that are being daily brought 10
light. These contracts, it is understood, are
countermanded, and will be held in abey-
ance until thoroughly sifted and examined.

pressions of certain newspapers at the time
the stone feet was sunk in Charleston Inle:
1t was trinmphantly announced repeated
echoed and re echoed that the intention was
TO seal up that harbor for all time TO come.
The Press said ii never could be re-opened,

channel must be opened by the United

and that it will be mere matter of expense

aled, the place where it was suspected the
rebels would make stand after The capture
of Fort Donelson. We also have accounts
from tolerabIy good authority that the reb
els are leaving Centreville and Manassas in
Virginia. The news to this effect is be-
lieved at Washington. From all quarters
we have cheering accounts, enough TO sat.
isfy US that this war is being speedily
brought to close. The last accounts from
Missouri are of 4 cheering character; they
report The capture of The rebel Price and his
entire staff with large number OF his rebel
soldiers. Secession must be pretty effec-
tualIy driven out of Missouri by Gen Hunt.
Ter. From Alabama the Union cause looks
bright. The Union men are rising 10 that
Stale and bio fair 10 crush out rebellion in
a short time. The latest report from Savau-
nah tells us that the place is being occupied
by the Federal lorces, and that the rebels
are leaving for Nashville, Tennessee, where
there may be some little fighting. Along
the Potomac the army is preparing for a
general move. which may be looked for
within week or less time.

BIotting Out States.

A special despatch to Washington in the
New York Tribune, states that the Territo-
rial Committees of both houses have nearly
matured bill which proposes 10 divide
the whole rebel country into Territories, or
ganized as if embracing newly settled lands
under Territorial Governments, the organic

substantially Senator Summers plan, and is
the rankesl kind of secessionism We can
not believe that any responsible committee
OF Congress will venture 10 propose any
thing so palpably unconstitutional Con-
gress has no power to blot single State out
of the Union, and The attempt to do so
would be as reasonable as the effort of the
secessionists 10 withdraw certain States from
the Union.
As our armies advance from victory 10
victory, Congress should endeavor TO culti-
vate the Union feeling which undoubtedly
exists to great extent among the masses OF
the Southern people, instead of threatening
TO reward loyalty by degradation. We need
the CO operation of the Southern people 10
restore the Union, and we must have il TO
secure permanent peace. This PROPOSE
ton to destroy certain States evidently comes
from the a5olitionists..who are at heart op
posed to the restoration of the Union as il
was, and ready TO throw every obstacle in
