WAR NEWS.

WAR NEWS.
Much uncertainty seems to exist as to the
whereabouts of the great body of the Confede-
rate army One statement has it that their
main force has been drawn back TO the north Of
Fairfax Court House, In position to fall back
/ to Thoroughfare Gap or to advance on the
Potomac, while another reports that the mass Of
7 the army has gone in some unknown direction,
leaving only about twenty thousand troops in
the vicinity Of Centreville. A dispatch from the
agent Of the Associated Press states that the
T. S. army for the most part is placed in new
positions, and thorough organization is pro
crossing. The authorities are fully alive to the
necessities of the hour, and are exercising all
the precautions required for the emergency.
The intelligence from the West is very con-
ficting. In Cincinnati on WEI dnesday the ex-
element was intense, caused by the reception
of dispatch stating that the Confederates had
seized a railroad train at Independence, Ky,
only twelve miles below the city. But theta
test advices say that locomotive passed over
the railroad yesterday to within twelve miles Of
lexington indicating that the Confederates
had abandoned the towns On the railroad re-
Gently occupied by them. Lexington was oc-
cupied by the Cenfederates; six thousand
strong, on Tuesday. At Cincinnati, on Tues
day, the citizens were enrolling themselves,
and large numbers had passed over the river
to work on the fortifcations on the Kentucky
side. The Confederate force threatening the
city is estimated at from twenty to thirty
thousand At Louisville the excitement was
abating in view Of the great preparations max.
ing for the defence of thecity. The telegraph
line to Nashville having again been interrupt
3D. no communication can be had beyond Rus:
sellville, in Logan county, Kentucky:
The last dispatch from Nashville, dated the
I'd instant, states that q Federal regiment had
severe fl ght near Woodbury., Tenn, on Mon
day with the Confederates under Co.. Forrest,
I defeating them, with a loss of eight killed
I and thirty wounded The Federal loss was
one killed and four wounded. Another dis
patch says that FORESTS entire command wer.
taken prisoners at Alexandria On the night Of

New ORDER OF BATTLE. will not sur
prise us to learn shat Gen. Halleck has formed
a new plan suited to the existing emergency.
The purpose Of the Confederates is to get into
Maryland, stir up an insurrection, intercept the
new levies, and attack Washington from the
north side. Halleck's original purpose was to:
defer the Virginia battles till the. new 2levies
were in the field, but this<Was Disconnected by
the successful III flank movement OF the Contede-
rates by which they got in Pope's rear, and
compelled him to fght his way through them.
The reasons remain as strong as at the begin
ming why both Lee and Halleck should attempt
to carry out their respective plans: Lee Will
still try to get into Maryland, and :Halleck will
mannuvre to prevenshim and make sure OF
the safe arrival of the new troops. 10 do this,
he will not renew the battle except upon the
defensive, and will temporarily make the entire
Potomac a defensive line IF Lee 1naneuvres
successfully to cross, Pope will cross that. river
and deftnd the part above Washington Nc
Clellan will defend Washington from the forti
fcations ]; and the fotilla of gunboats, which
have arrived from the James river, will defend
the Potomac below Washington and prevent
the Confederates from crossing there. N. I.

THE WOUNDED: Persons who left Fairfax
on Tuesday morning, state that up TO that
time upwards of {, 800 wounded men had been
put on the cars and sent to this city, This of
course does not include the number-Who have
been brought here by ambulances and other
vehicles which went down on Saturday and
Sunday. We learn that the Surgeon General
sent to the battle field, yesterday, a train OF
ambulances to bring away the remainder Of the
wounded soldiers. There are, We believe,
about five hundred still left behind. These
ambulances are under the charge OF Dr. Byrne.
Our informant states further, that the Sur
eeon General sent some forty wagons OF sup
ples suitable for the sick and wounded, and
that these we're seized by the Contederates;
and as strange as it may seem; he tells us that
when our surgeons need these supplies, they
are accustomed to send.requlsltlons tor them to
the Confederate officers III charge. and the
resnonses are always favorable. This fact is
certainly creditable to our enemies, and SHOWS
THAT humane feeling still possesses their
breasts, notwithstanding the terrible war now
/ waged between us- Wash. Repubtcdn.

Sixth N. c. Regiment.
Notes by the Chaploia of the Regiment, Maj. Webb
commanding, in the Tght Of us3lst May, near
Richmond.
In the action of May 5lst, every regiment of the
Sd bri gade, then under command Of Gen. Fender,
who is now in charge of cen. Pettigrew's brigade
established the fact that infantry cannot be met
in the field by that of the INVADER and that men
are beginning to realize the exact value of artillery
when contrasted with infantry. in such country as
ours. 1t seems now to be certain that by the good
Providence of God, the enemy will never reach
Richmond In every action in the field we whip
them with inferior numbers. At Williamsburg, at
Barhagsve and at f'Chlckahominy swamps, we
drove them before US back to their works and took
some of them. But it is my present purpose to
commend the conduct of the 9th N. c. Regiment,
not as better but being like that of others whom
l saw, and worthy of soldiers and freemen. They
stormed the enemy's lines through an open field,
and exposed to rapid fire from the woods where
they were posted They charged and drove them
from their cainps-they run them for m:le-they
then twice charged their masked works, wading
through swampS up to the waist, and that under
destructive fire. until the approach of night and the
absence of artillery, combined with the numbers of
the enemy and strength of the works. satisfied
ry one that nothing more could he DONE They
slept upon the camp ground of the enemy, and have
daily since then advanced and asked him to come
out and fight them. We to-day laying in sight of
the ercmy and trying 70 provoke fight. The men
have endured fatigue and discomfort, but they speak
of it not to complain, hut to boast hoU mach they
can endure. The couplainers are those who are
seldom in camp, and aener in action; you will find
them feeding on the citizens of RcI,mond-or as
dandy soldiers, hanging about the hotels. To-day,
l sat upon the ground and shared some dry bread
and bacon with the Major. storm is now coming
up, and our men have neither their blankets, cook
ing utensils nor camps.
On last evening, Gen. Fender addressed the men,
arranged in a hollow. square around him, ard COM
plimented their conduct. When he had ceased |
requested all those who recognized the hand of d.,
vine Providence in their escape from the enemys
works, to knee down and offer up their thanks to
their deliverer The Northern people seem to regard
their God with too little respect either to stand
kneel in worship. The whole command kneeed
down upon the ground. 1t was sight long to be
remembered Would it not be well for the people
of North Carolina to send and ask, that hereafter,
the names of all their men who absent themselves
during ar action, be sent to them for publication
and may not hope that those who have fought
so we'll and bravey, will have the prayers and es-
TEEN of all good mem?
