A VERY FooLlsH MoyMENT.-About
a,oUn men who have been employed in
handling grain in New York harbor, have
determined they will not, work for any
one who owns grain elevator . They
complain that the seven or eight ma
chimes already introduced into that city,
can do two thirds of the labor required;
aud as they think these machines deprive
the labor of work and bread, they must
be suppressed. The same false reasoning
will apply to any other labor-saving ma
chimes. These men ought tolknow---the
logic of events has proved it---that econo-
me machinery does not decrease tie de-
niand for labor. but simply increases the
demand for and consumption of the article
manufactured.

The BarrIe Of "wednesday.

From the Richmo nd Enquirer .5l
We have succeeded in obtaining from the
most reliable sources the following details of the
great battle of Wednesday;
On the afternoon of Tuesday the 10th, the
enemy opened a light artillery fire on our line
Early the next morning it was renewed more
vigorously, and large masses of the Federals
who had crossed the Antietam above our posi-
tion, assembled on our left. They advanced in
three compact lines. The divisions OF Generals
McLaws, Il. IL. Anderson, a P. Hill and
Walker, who were expected to have ioined Gen
eTal Lee on the previous night, had not come up.
Generals Jackson's and Ewells divisions were
thrown to the left of Generals Hill and Long
street. The enemy advanced between Antietsm
and the Sharpsburg and HsgerstOwn turnpike,
snd was met by General d. II Hills and the
left of General Longstreets divisions, where the
conflict ragged, extending to our entire left. The
enemy was repulsed aud held in check; but
prior to the arrival of the divisions of McLsws,
Anderson and Walker, who had been advanced
to support the left wing and center, as soon as
they had crossed the Potomac on the morning of
the 18th, that portion of our line was forced
back by superior numbers. As soon, however,
as these forces could be brought into action
severe conflict ensued. The enemy was driven
back, our line was restored, and our position
In the afternoon the enemy advanced on our
right, where General Jones division was posted,
and he handsomely maintained his position
The bridge over the Antietam creek was guarded
by General Toombs' brigade, which gallantly
resisted the approach of the enemy but their
superior numbers enabling them to extend their
left they crossed below the bridge and freed
our line back in some confusion. Just at this
time between 3 and P. NJ General A. P Hill,
with five of his hrigsdes, having reached the
scene of action, drove the enemy Immediately
back from the position they had taken, and con-
tnued the contest until dark, restoring our right
and maintaining our ground
When the battle closed, after having ragged
furiously during the entire day, we retained pos
session of the field and the enemy retir ed to his
former position The conduct of many of our
officers is reported by General Lee to have ex-
hibited the most conspicuous and brilliant cour-
age Our loss was considerable, and we have to
deplore the fall of Generals Stsrke and Branch,
who died as soldiers love to die, in d<fense of
their country.
Generals r H. Anderson, Lawton, Ripley,
Armis tesd, Gregg and Wright, are reported to
have been wOunded-none OF them, however,
dangerously. In addition to the above, we learn
from persons who have arrived from the field.
that on the following day Lee, who remained in
possession of the field, took measures to renew
the engagement but the enemy had disappeared
from his front and it is further reported that
after the removal of his wounded and the burial
of the dead, General Lee determined to cross the
Potomac, aud had established his headquarters
at or near ShepardstOwn.

The following address TO the people of Western
Virginia has been issued by General Loring

A4o AOO eA--NAlC6o ~ puDplc VI " Il
Virginia has been issued by General Loring
TO THE PEOPLE OF WESTERN VIRGINIA.
GILES COURT HOUSE, September 90 Via,
DUBLIN, September 81, 1862.
The army of the Confederate States has come
among you to expsl the enemy, to rescue the
people from d. spotism Of the counterfeit State
government imposed on you by Northern bsyo-
nets, and to restore the country once more to its
natural allegiance to the State We fight for
peace aud the possession of our own territory.
We do not intend to punish those who remain
at home as quiet citizens, in obedience to the
laws of the land, and to all such clemency and
amnesty are declared but those who persist in
adhering to the cause of the public enemy and
the pretended State government he has erected
at Wheeling, will be dealt with as their ebsti-
nate treacheTy deserves.
When the liberal policy of the Confederate
government shall be introduced and made known
to the people who have 50 long experienced the
wanton misrule Of the invaders, the command
ing general expects the people heartily to sus-
tain it-nOt only as duty, but as a deliverance
from their. tsskmssters aud usurpers; and, in-
deed, he already recognizes in the cordial well
come which the people everywhere give to the
army a happy indication of their attachment to
their true and lawful government. Until the
proper authorities shall order otherwise in the
presence of municipal law and its customary
ministers, martial law will be administered by
the army and the provost marshal.
Private rights and properly will be respected,
violence will be repressed, and order promoted,
and all the private property used by the army
will be paid for
The commanding general appeals to all good
citizens to aid him in these objects and 10 all
able bodied men to join his army to defend the
sanctuary of religion and virtue-hOme, terri
tory, honor and law-which are invaded and
violated by an uuscrupulOus enemy, whom an
indignant and irritated people are now about to
chsstise on his own soil.
The government expects an immediate and
enthusiastic response to that call. The country
has been reclaimed for you from the enemy, by
soldiers, many of whom are from distant parts
of the State and COnfederacy and you will
prove unworthy to possess so beautiful and fruit
ful land if you do not now rise to retain and
defend it.
The oaths which the invader has imposed upon
You ere void. They are immoral attempts to
restrain you from your duty to your State and
government. They do not exempt you from the
obligation to support your government and to
serve in the army; and if such persons are
taken as prisoners of war the COnfederste
government guarantees to them the humane
| Treatment of the ussges Of war.
By command Of MsiOr-General LOTing,
H. FITZHUGH, Chief Of Staff.

Our GeneraIs.

The New York Times has an article on our
generals and their rank. 1t says
The msjor-generals of the Confederate army
are numerous, and Stonewall Jackson, who holds
this rank, stands at some distance from the head
of the list Both L0ngstreet and A. 2. Hill are
his seniors in rank. If it be true that General
Joseph E. Johnston has recovered from the Sc
we're wounds he received at Fair Oaks, suth
GENTLY to allow him to take the field, we may
fairly understand that the rebel campaign of IN
vasion will be really directed into the supreme
resort by his clear, quick keen and daring intel
lect-an intellect as fertile in resources AS his
will is swift to execute what his Judgment has
determined. We have no more formidable
enemy.
The appointment just announced in the
Richmond papers Of 50 conspicuous an officer
as General Bsauregard to the command OF the
Department of South Carolina and Georgia.
indicates we may remark, the presence in that
department of no uncomfortable force, and may
either prognOsticate a serious sttamp to EJECT us
from our positions at Hilton Head and Beaufort,
or show that the rebels anticipate q vigorous
effort at the reduction of Charleston and Savan-
nah It sets at rest all the foolish stories which
have been current of General Beauregard's with
drawa from the Southern service. The truth IN
regard to him we believe TO be that he has simply
been at the springs, in Alabams, recruiting his
strength, impaired by that memorable Western
campaign in which General Halleek did not
capture him, nor destroy his army.

The Yankees az su6OIk-4mPOrtant Hn-
formation.

We learn from q gentleman who reached this
city last evening from the vicinity of Suffolk,
that the Yankee army there has been heavily re-
inforcsd, numbering now, it IS supposed, az least
$4,000 men. We also learn that they sent 10 600
men 70 Windsor station on the n. and Z. rail-
road. eleven miles this side of Suffolk. They
have narrowed the guage Of the railroad four
inches from Norfolk to Zuni station, seven miles
this side of Windsor, and eleven miles from
the point 70 which tine track has been torn up
by our people, and from which it is more or less
obsiructed TO Petersburg.
We would respectfully suggest to the govern
ment 10 have force sent down to Windsor SUI
ficient to capture the Yankee column there and
also that at Suffolk. They are mostly composed
doubtless. OF raw recruits lately drafted, and
could be bagged by half the number OF Conted-
crates They should not be suffered to repose
there a day longer than they can be reached oy
our arms. Now is a good opportunity to break
mn this nest of Fandsls The game that Is
piaying is, we think, to accumulate gradually
~ those points strong force from the new
levies. and drill them for further operations At a
future day The game should BY al means De
blocked and the ulterior scheme be niPped IN
the bud. That scheme is, we take it, to march
upou Richmond via Petersburg as soon AS they
can collect and prepare in the way they are
doing large force at Suffolk under the North
ern draft, which they can do unless prevented
by speedy and vigorous eOUutsractive meas suTes
by our government.- Petersburg Express, 24lh

We are assured that the Costa Riea minister
filed an official protest to-day against the settle
ment of Senator Pomeroy's colony at ChIiqui
in which he laid stress upon the fact that quss-
ton relative to the boundaries was pending be-
tween Costa Ries and New Granada. We are
also assured that all the ministers from Central
America. without an exception, considered this
Chiriqui colonization scheme to be little better
than a fillibustsring expedition, of character
very similar to that led by Walker. Other mem
bers of the diplomatic corps of Washington take
a similar view of the matter, and call attention
TO the fact that. netwiths tanding the protest of
the Central American Republic, the United
States has persisted in its colonization scheme,
and that Senator Pomeroy calls for able-bOdied
men as colonists, Ostensibly for pae &c purposes,
but possibly with other Views.-N. y. Tribune.

Heroic Incident.

The army correspondent of the Charleston
Courier relates the following heroic incident OF
the late baltic in Virginia
While the lines were moving forward, the 1st
Virginia regiment-a mere handful of veterans,
who have been in every fight since the war COM
menced, and most Of them the best young men
Of Richmond-csme directly upon battery of
four pieces. which was obstinately holding its
ground and pouring its deadly vollies into our
ranks. Shot and shell hailed furiously into the
little band, but 1t was no time to stop then, and
dashing on with wild cheer, reached the sum-
nit of the hill where the pieces were planted.
Their commander Col. +. G. Skinner, brave,
impetuous old gentleman, was some twenty PAGES
in advance and seeing the EedeTals standing
boldly TO their guns, rose in his stirrups, turned
20 his regiment, and shouting " Forward the
old First-fOllow me- spurred his horse up to
the very muzzles of the battery. One of the
cannouiers WAS in the act of pulling the lanyard
of a gun. Him, he cut down with his sabre.
Another, attempting to take the place of his com
Tade was likewise dispatched, by the now bloody
steel of the colonel, and the rest t1rned to fly.
At this instant one of the retresting Federals
halted, took deliberate aim, and shot away a
portion of the VirginiAns ear while a second
sent bullet through his body. Hardly had the
flash of the two muskets disappeared, however,
before the Yankees paid the forfeit of their teme-
rity with their lives, one of them being killed by
Sergsant-Msjor Jones, of the First. " Forward,
boys, always forward, don't mind me, cried the
colonel, and there he fell among the trophies OF
his prowess / am glad to say that, though Sc
riously, and at one time thought to be mOrtally
hurt, the gallant soldier is now belev ed to be
out of danger.
