From the IO5rh Regiment.

COvINGTON, KY, Aug. y, 1862.
{ EDS. LEADER:--The 105th regiment is
making a halt in Fifth street, in this city
We came through from Cleveland to Gin
cinnah without change Of cars, arrived in
Cincinnati before sunrise this morning,
and, after marching through some of the
principal streets, were ferried across the
beautiful River" to the land of 'Dixie
Your correspondent is seated upon his
knapsack, in the street, with his tin plate
for writing desk, while all around him
are the boys of the 1O5th regiment some
writing home, others singing hymns and
patriotic songs, such as Dixie Land" and
'JOhn Brown"
The ladies Of Covington treated the reg
iment to a breakfast Of warm victuals, hot
coffee and smiles. The women here are
loyal with few exceptions. From this fact
you can easily guess where the men are.
A light shower is falling, but does not seem
to dampen the good feelings Of the boys.
We have not received our arms yet, not
withstanding the Cincinnati Commercial
says we "passed through Columbus last
night armed with Springfield rifles" Sew
eral Of the companies have received their
bounty, and ours Go. F. is waiting its
turn at the paymasters counter.
We expect to go on to Lexington to-day,
one hundred miles from Cincinnati by rail
As the ladies are Hocking around us and
seem desirous of talking with us, I will
close by informing you that we reall well,
cheerful, and anxious to get further South.

rcoNMuNIcATION.l I


The retail dry goods trade throughout
the country should put a high value on all
stocks of Staple, Domestic and Foreign
goods they have on hand. The new tariff
alone advances all Cottons full fifteen per
cent, Worsted 20 per cent, Linens about
the same-some being more, some less. In
addition to this, the first cost of all Cotton
Goods to the manufacturer, based upon the
present prices Of the raw material, will be
from 2Oto so per cent. higher. With cot
ton all other materials used in fabrication
sympathize; and again, all foreign goods
have to be paid for in gOld-or, in other
words, exchange on London at the present
time is 100 per eent.-so that foreign
goods will cost from 80 to Copper cent. more
than under the old tariff, the former low
price of raw material and before the de-
probation Of currency.
The season will therefore open with very
high prices, and viii most likely, be main
tanned through the Autumn. A complete
overthrow of the rebellion would reduce
prices some, but there is no possible event
that can lower the price of goods to any
considerable extent except it be that con-
sumers would make what they have on
hand answer the purpose, and the demand
stopped by rigid economy. 5
At the prices which goods are now sold
at, we advise our country friends toyT0rk
wen on the old stock that has been slow
and unsalable; buy only such goods as
are wanted for immediate sales and in
small quantities. Under no consideration
| sell dollar on credit, But FOR CASH ON DE-
LIVERY, and let that be the rule forever af-
|
! for the full amount Of the stock in good
Eastern companies, and the high prices Of
to-day will work for the good Of the bust
ness community. Merchants always keep
too large stocks Parties of good antece-
dents and capital in business, can get all
the credit it is best they should have in
New York; but if they adopt the above
rule, they will pay CASH for all their wants
in thirty days time, and then be prepared
for any emergency. The sound and sol
vent firms Of New York are fully prepared
for the next season, and such as have had
the means have made large investments, in
anticipation Of the present state of the
market
The credit of retailers, through the va
rious sources the jobbers have Of inform
ing themselves, are perfectly understood !
and any departure from sound business
principles is at once known, by the Wig
| liant and well conducted firms in all
! branches Of trade.
Every merchant should, therefore, ope-
rate cautiously. Keep as nearly as pOssi-
BILE cut Of debt. Where credit is granted,
close the same by note at bank with ex-
change on New York, and we may hope
for a new era of prosperity in the future

late nIOvsneu's of the RsboIs---TheIr de-


late 1Iovements Of the ReboIs-.-TheIr n do.
signs upon Washington.
The Baltimore correspondent Of the n
2. Herald, who is generally well posted
In secession views, purpOrts to give a
history Of the late movements OF the rebels
aad niscoIlan6ous news from Richmond
Hs 5ssys that ever since the evacuation Of
Corinth and the concentration Of their
tr6ops at Richmond, they have had at and
&, near Richmond fully 100000 troops. So
.ss laEga an army came near creating a
famine, and as soon as the danger of an
aflask upon that city passed away, the
syaenatiOn Of the city began, commencing
about the eth Of July. So long as Nc
Clellan's movements were uncertain,
nsar 100000 troops were retained at the
city to be used in case of an attack. By
the middle Of July, Jackson began to con-
Ssntrate his troops at GOrdOnsville and
vicinity, for movements upon the line Of
'ths RsPidan, By the FIRST Of August there
Wers as many troops here as at Richmond
On the l2ih Of August the Richmond
rspsrs stated that the evacuation had
copmsncedi and on the 18th they annOunc-
ed that il had been accomplished.
So long as McClellan's army was upon
sehe Peninsula, the rebels did not fear it at
al, and they regarded his withdrawal
therefrom as a great misfortune. At this
time, there are less than $4,000 troops at
Richmond, and not less than 25OOOO near
the Rspidan The rebels boast that the
Union troops shall never cross the RaPidan
any more than Mcdowell succeeded in
crossing Bull Run 1t is further stated
s that on the 18th General Jac1so n proceed
ed from GordOnsville to StauntOn, where
eolum Of 1000 troops had been assembled.
Placing himself at the head Of these, it is
=. said that he marched Immediately up the
turnpike road to Harrisburg and from
thence 10 Strasburg and Winchester. At
he same time q second column OF fifty
thousand more troops was put in motion
from GOrdOnsville, en- route for stauntOn,
in the railroad cars, and this column, it
was said would follow Jackson immedi-
etely. There were still left at Gardens
vile On the 10Th, one hundred and fifty
thousand troops On Jaoksan's arrival at
: gWiAtkestsr, General Lee IS 10 attack Pope
and push on to Washington. At the same
time Jackson is to turn bis column to
the right, take Leeshurg, cross the Potomac
thsre snd proceed to Washington, down
the lsfbsbank Of the POtamac If this plan
.ssaosaeds, Lee expects to be at Manassas by
ths time that jackson crosses the river.

The Defenses of HarPer's Ferry.

HARPER's FERRY, Aug. IA.
Whatever may be the result Of the cam
paign in Central Virginia, you may rest
assured that Harper's Ferry viii not fall
into the hands Of the rebels again. Since
the last rebel raid, formidable intrench-
ments have been thrown up covering the
entire rear Of the village. Several 100
Founders are mounted on the Maryland
Heights, opposite, which command the
country for miles around. In stating this,
l make known no contraband intelligence,
for il is nothing more than the rebels have
learned to their sorrow. When Jackson
chased General Banks up the Valley, it
was one Of these big guns which brought
him to a halt. He had approached to
within a mile and a-half Of the village,
his skirmishers occupying Bolivar Heights,
when our artillerymen let fly the grape
and canister so thickly that he was com
pelled to beat q hasty retreat, leaving
guns, cOmmissary stores, and the bodies
Of several dead secesh, A farmer living
in the vicinity informs us that single
shell bursting in q building near him e1-
tinguished eleven rebels The 9th New
York artillery boys manage their long
toms" splendidly word coming not long
since that four secesh cavalry had taken
up their abode in sehool-house four
miles from here, they brought one of their
pets to bear upon it, and when the smoke
cleared away no school-house was to be
seen. One evening last week rebel sig
nal light appeared among the thickets Of
Loudon Heights, opposite the Shenandoah.
The loud roar of cannon aEoke everybody
at midnight; and we learned on the fol
lowing morning that the artillerymen had
brought down the signal light, and with
it the gable end of the building over which
IL was suspended.

In audaeity the rebels are ahead of the
world. After having gathered up an army
Of csnscripts, forced every able-bOdied
man. into the ranks, and proposing to still
further increase the list by extending the
limit of age tOffty-fve, they taunt the Fed
sFsl Government for resOrting to drafting
and put forth such paragraphs as this, from
the Petersburg Express, of August 18th:
aWhy, even Mohammed and his follow
srs had the courage to fight for their god
less creed. We have scarcely read of an
imposter who did not dare to strike with
his own hands o blow in defence Of his
doctrine, however false and infamous. It
remained for abolition Greeley and his dis
oiples to show the world an example Of
eoRardiee without parallel in the histO-
~ Of imposture. A cause in which its
own zeElots viii not fight, it is one Of the
Iemarkable an0malies Of the earth, re-
served for the Yankee freedom shriekers
to shine in"
z Every word of this is applicable to the
rsbsls themselves, if to anybody. Havn't
they sAe courage to fight for their goddess

ne have known, for several days, that
General Cox, with the greater portion of
his army, had left the Kanawha Valley,
ana was a route to join General Pope,
but forebOFs mentioning it. The press of
sOther cities having done 50, there is no
harm now in stating the fact. A sufficient
force Is left up the Kanawha to defend
the position, while the main portion OF
2 Ehe army passed through PArkcrsburg last
week for the east, as rapidly as transpOr-
tation could be procured, The health Of
the army is generally good and the re-

having lately recruited some two hundred,
and the others are all in good condition.

NJ UNI ER0US REPRESENTA-
TIONS having been made 10 Her Brftanc Ma

~ to make in that State have been instructed BY
Her Majesty's Charge d. d'Ahaires At Washington TO

war, that they need Be under noHpprehensonlof be-
ing included in any such draft If they take the pre-
canton Of providing themselves with proper proofs
of their nationality. 800 81 =
As the best mode Of procuring such proofs, would
suggest that every FIDE British subject resident
in this State should, IN caseOf draft being resOrted
to, furnish himself with affidavit Of his national
ity, properly sworn 10 and attested before Notary
Public, and should also, far possible, provide
himselfWith certificates as to his character and pO

called on for military duty in the United States,
would also suggest that II would be advisable for
British subjects wishing to pass beyond the limits Of

to provide themselves with similar papers before leay
ing their places of residence; and It IS my wish N
