Concert-Among the first who rushed to arms
to repel the Yankees in their attempt to con.
quer Virginia, was a regiment of kentuck-
ians. lhey were at Harper's Ferry at the
very beginning of the war, and now form q
part of the army of the Potomac. They left
their homes ut the first report of the invasion
of Virginia, and for nine months they have
withstood, most courageousiy the trials of
war, deprived of many things necessary to q
soldiers welfare. Separated from their friends
by insur mountable obstacles, they are de-
pendent on their small pay for their comforts,
and at the present price Of things, eleven dol
lars month cannot go far! A concert for
their benefit will be given, next week, in the
Second Baptist Church, corner of Main and
9TH streets, by the same ladies and gentlemen,
who, last month, delighted our people by two
of the most charming concerts ever given in
this ci,v. We are told that their third con-
cert will surpass in variety the two first ones
AZ there will be great crowd, it has been
suggested that persons who propose to aid
this iaudable project should procure their
tickets in advance.

the fact, Mr.. Miller produced deed and

within the jurisdiction of the city ordinance
for the proper regulation of dram shops. Of
ficer Seal, however, stated that the house was
within the limits OF the corporation that it
was situated on 18th street, above the Cen
trail Railroad, and that the defendant had pre-
viously paid one fine for q violation Of city
ordinance at that very place. The Mayor
promised to examine the record and the local

case hereafter.

War News.

The Washington Star of the 9th states that Gen.
Mcclellan and his staff had arrived at Recertown,
near Front Royal Gap on the Manassas Railroad, and
made that his headquarters for the time being. The
impression prevailed that he would dispute the pos
session of the valley with Gen Lee through the Blue
Ridge Gap. Front Royal is about fifty miles south
of the Potomac.
The main body of Gen. Lees forces were west of
the Blue Ridge in the Shenandoah valley.
A heavy skirmish took place on the 10th, west of
Cupepper Court House, in which the enemy were
driven back two miles. Our loss was said to be
small Gen. McLaws' division is this side of the
Blue Ridge, in the neighborhood of Culpepper, and
the skrmish probably took place between his divis-
ion and portion of the enemy under Sickles or
Siegel.
The Baltimore american of late date says:
Gen. Rosencrans left Louisville on the LIST inst to
take the field. That morning Gen. SilPs Division
commenced passing Bowling Green on the road to
Nashville and the other division Of the department
of the Cumberland probably soon followed. Nash
vile may therefore be considered safe from the pred
atory force which has hitherto held it virtually in
state of seige Gen. Rosencrans advance will prob.
ably be INSTRUCTED by the demolition of portions of
the railway, but not the enemy. 1t is undoubtedly
Gen. Rosencrans' plans to make Nashville his base,
whence to operate the lines of railroad against
Chattanooga on the southeast and Knoxville and
East Tennessee on the East
In regard to the situation in Virginia, the Wash
ington Chronicle OF Wednesday, says
Indications convince us that battle is imminent.
The secret foes of the Republic, here and at Balti
more, have lately become nervous as to the issue,
which is probably good harbinger ofvictory. They
may rest assured that a sufficient army is held in
reserve not alone to defend the Capital but to pro-
tect Maryland and Pennsylvania from another inva-
sion As we press back their 'front.' we take care
tu secure our rear
