BRANCH's BRIGADE AGAIN IN TIE FICHT.-
The following extract Of private letter from an
officer Of one Of the regiments in Branchs brigade
shows in appropriate tcIms the Part enacted by
that f,honS NoyM CuJuiina B,jyodc in the late
brilliant victory Of Stoncwall jackson at ''Cedar
Rum"
awe had another great success on the 9th inst.
l-Gcn. Branch's brigade prominent in the
fight. But thank God our loss has not been heavy.
Gen. Branch led his troops in person into the
hottest of the fight, and was publicly compliment
ted by Gen. Jackson on the field, for the gallan-
try Of his brigade. None shrunk wavercd, and
most think that the victory was so soon attained
by his active support, and that of his troops.''
And yet, strange to say this brilliant feat of Gen
Branch is mSstatcd in the Richmond papers and
ascrbcd to Ransoms brigade, which at that time
was stationed on the James river, 100 miles off
RoIrisM Journo1.
TIE GOVERNOR ELEcT.-Col Vance, the
Governor elect OF this StatA arrived in Raleigh
Saturday afternoon, and that night addressed
number Of the citizens in front Of the Yarborough
| House. We were not present, but understand
from those who were, that the Colonel declared
himself i'll favor of an unrcmitting prosecution Of
| the war, and pledged himself to cschew all action
| founded on mere partizan considerations. We
also near that the Colonel got through without
| telling single joke, classically rcmarkng tc an
ardent admrcr, who called on him for Joke, that
the time for joking had for the present 'drcd
out."-R"lsiyh Register.
| ADMINISTERING TIE OATH.-Whcrever the
| Federal power has foothod in Northern Virgin
Ia they attempting to carry out the odious or
der of Pope requiring the citizens to take the
oath to sustain the Government. In Frederick,
Bcrkcly, Jefferson, and Clarke, and perhaps other
counties on the border, proclamations were issued,
fixing day in the carly part Of last week for the
assembling OF the people at their respective coun-
ty seats for that purpose. OF the result in Fred
crick and BcrkeIy We have not heard but learn
that in Clarke and Jefferson not one man was
found so bankrupt in character as to respond to

MoRGAN AGAIN TRIUMPHANT.-Cop'"re Of
1h7"c HH"dFc1 Irt"ncrS.-Mor9an turned up
at Gallatin, Tennessee, twenty miles from Nash
vile, on the Eth. lie captured the place and
three hundred prisoners, blew up the railroad tun-
mel, destroyed three trains and an immense amount
Of commissary stores. He sent dispatch to Ma
or Smith, at Nashville, saying that he would call
on him shortly, as he had not seen him since Smith
got beat for Office in the Confederate army. Nor
can callpcd next night at IIartsvc.
BY an arrival from Nashville, it appears that
Neil Brown, claims to be true to the South, and
wants to be put right on the record.
advces leave no double Of the fact that the Young
Napolcon ofthc Federal army has again "chanped
his base" and is now prepared with his grand ar
my to cooperate with the forces OF Pope along
the lines of the Rappahannock The reports that
have been industriously circulated that he was
evacuating the Peninsula, are at length confirmed,
