Centreville and Green Springs on THURSDAY:
The rebel Gen. Stuart was certainly at Lees
burg on Monday, the correspondent having
been within sight of his camp fires lie at

but was follGd by information given by n negro.
who had heard his master detail the rebel plan

There is no doubt that Smart is now inlmedi-

Pnin9 an attack. Gen. Stahl has advanced 10

that Stuart viii be compelled tonight to fight
or run.
Stuart was encamped yesterday between
Bull Run Mountain and the Blue Ridge. Our
pickets Were driven in last night from the
direction OF LsesbUrg.
Lieut. Incoming returned on Tuesday eve

OF 100 rebel cavalry At Bristow Station, and that
Tie rebels are running trains between Warren

small rebel force appeared Yesterday on
the stone bridge at Bull Run battle.
r. II is stated that Archbi shop Hughes has
been in receipt OF sundry anonymous epistles
from Baltimore, during the past fortnight
threatening him with poison or assassination
for his recent able address in favor of the war;

thOrship of at least one of the communications

The MAINE SEvENTH-The impression that
the gallant Maine Seventh has been reduced to
one hundred and fifty mine men only is a mis-
take, as Will be seen by the letter from our
Portland correspondent, describing their recep-
ton In Portland. War claims its victims but
il is seldom that the fatality is 50 great as the
reports in relation to this regiment would i'm
ply. The present aggregate of the regiment is
really six hundred and forty seven, but by far
the largest proportion are in the hospitals or on
special duty. The regiment could muster per.
haps 3C0 able bodied men to-day, which may
be considered large number, taking into
account the unusual number of battles in
which it has been engaged, and its gallant con-
duct. Few regiments have seen so much ser
vice. and to have belonged to it is something TO
be proud hereafter.-Boston Journal

fdence and courage, while ~ the same time

Us, by fifty thousand of the new levies, mostly
distributed on the line OF the Mobile and ONO
Railroad, between COrinth and Columbus, Ky.
ThIS immense force can be concentrated a any
given point on the road ut sixty hours notice
and there are hut two things that can prevent
their being hurled southwark. These are either
an immense army thrown IN their front, or the
defeat and overthrow of Buell. by Bragg.
The latter is a contingency that can be- relied
on with safety TO the State. i: then becomes
the solemn duty of the STATE 10 longer to rely
upon the Confederate Government Tor protec-
ton, but TO throw inlO the fieldh her whole avail
able force. This must be done, or the enemy,
before the LIST of December, will effect lodg-

be impossible to drive him. He will push his
column down the Mobile road until he reaches
Columbus, the fall OF which would be- not only
calamity TO the state, but 10 the Confederacy.

deserted their ranks, the victory at Sharpsburg
would hay, been the most complete of the war.
At least 20,mi0 men disgraccd themselves by
fleeing from the field i'll the face of the enemy,
and what is worse than all, a large portion of
them wore brass on the collars of their coats,
and straps upon their shoulders. II is said
that Gen. Lee intends having every man, who
bears the title OF an officer, that deserted his
post on that trying occasion, brought before a
drum head court martial, and, if possible,
have them eashiered, and'placed in the front
ranks with a musket. The stragglers, it is said,
now number thirty thousand.
