g: FROM MARYLAND.-We learn by a gen.
tleman Of high character, who arrived last
evening, from staunton, that a courier had
arrived iu that place, from the lower. end Of
the Valley, with information: that General
Jackson was at or near Martinsburg, Va,
in pursuit of the Yankees who were left in
the Valley to protect the railroad and Har-
per's Ferry. The force of the enemy is
variously estimated at from 4,ouo" to 49,.
900. When this force is disposedof, there
will then be no enemy in our rear, aad the
line of.communication by the Valley route
will be open for our advancing army as
they push Northward.
1t is supposed jackson went from Frede-
rick to Hagerstown, and then, turned back
on Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry.-Rach-

A Fisticuff in Nashville.

Agentleman just from Knoxville, Tenn,
Informs as, that a difficulty occurred in
Nashville, during the early part Of the past
week, ~betweed Gen: Don Carlos Buell.,
commander of the Yankee army Of the
West, and Andy johnson, Liucoln's Pro:
visional Governor Of Tennessee. The quar-
rel grew out Of difference ofopiniou be-
tween these two distinguished Lincolnites,
as to the policy Of the Federals :evacuating
Nashville at present, Buell. contended that
it was "military necessity: and 1anked
as he was east and west, with Gen. Bragg's
army 20 the north of him, and the 'Confede-
rates also holding Chattanooga and Mur'
freesboro to the south, it was impossible for
him to hold Nashville and subsist hir army.
johnson replied that Notwithstanding the
reasons alleged by Buell., the place must
not be evacuated, and if it was, he should
certainly blow up the capitol, building be-
fore he made his way out of'the city. Bu'
ell rejoined by stating that he would cause
JohDso to be shot if he, dared destroy the
capitol; whereupou johnson remarked, that
Buell. was id scoundrel. This was an
insult that the Federal General felt him
selfbound to resent, which he did bykhock'
ing johnson down, jumping upon him, and
giving him what Paddy gave the drum, viz:
very sound beating, Johnson's face is
said to have been very badly bruised, and
bis two eyes swollen into one. At last &C.
counts. johnson had fled the place, and
Buell. endeavored to follow the Governors
example, but finding that Gen: Bragg was
too quick for him, and had placed his pow
srful army between the Cumberland and
Gallatin, retraced bis steps, and re-entered
Nashville. Here he will probably remain
until forced to surrender for lack of sup.
plies. This Intelligence was brought to
Knoxville on Sunday last by gentleman
who had escaped from Nashville, and ou1
informant states that it may be relied upon
as being strictly oorreot.-Pstsrs6urg E1

Congress is left to determine the best
mode Of raising the sum and as there
seems but little prospect Of raising the
money by a sale of bonds or stocks, a re.
sort to Treasury notes seems to be all that
will be left to its discretion.
The experiment of diminishing the quan.
tity of circulation by interes-bearing notes
and deposits on call is said to have been
very successful, and is likely to be encour'
aged as relief from excess in the quantity
of the national currency, which, as it ex'
ceeds the usual business wants of the com.
munity, must be productive of high prices
without relation to the actual value of the
currency.
1t is understood that the interest notes
although current to certain degree, have
been generally withdrawn from circulation
on account of their value as temporary in
vestments. Most of them have been taker
under the belief that the interest would be
paid like other interest, and the Secretary
of the Treasury has encouraged this belle
by recommendation to Congress that the
interest should be paid annually.
1t is supposed that Congress will be un
der the necessity Of providing another wa
tax. From the war tax returns, and frou
estimates as to such States as have not ye
made complete returns, this fund may bt
set down at seven hundred millions.
The War Tax has been paid by the sew

HEADQUARTERS ARMY N. VIRGINIA. I
Near Fredericktowng Sept. 9th, 1862. { I
Itis right that you should know the pur-
pose that has brought the army under my
command within the limits Of your State,
80 far. as that purpose concerns yourselves.
The people of the Confederate States
have long watched, with the deepest sym
pathy; the wrongs and outrages that have
been inflicted upon the citizens of Com.
monwealth, allied to the States of the South
by the condition of conquered province.
Under the pretence Of supporting the
Constitution, but in violation Of its most
valuable provisions, your citizens have been
arrested and imprisoned upon, no charge,
and contrary to all forms Of law; the faith.
full and manly protest against this outrage
made by the venerable and illustrious Ma,
rylander, to whom. in better days, no citi-
zen appealed for right in vain, was treated
with scorn and contempt; the government
of your chief city has been usurped by arm.
ed strangers; your Legislature has been
dissolved by theunlawful arrest of its MEM
bers; freedom of the press and of speech
has been suppressed; words have been de;
clared offences by an arbitrary decree Of
the Federal Executive, and citizens order.
ed to be tried by a military commission for
what they may dare to speak. .......
Believing that the people of Maryland
possessed spirit too lofty to submit to
such government, the people of tho South
have long wished to aid you in throwing of
this foreign yoke, to enable you again to
enjoy the inalienable rights of freemen, and
restore independence and sovereignty to
your State. 50
In obedience to this wish, our army has
come among you, land is prepared to assist
you with the power of its arms in regaining
the rights of which you have been despoil
ed.
This, citizens of Maryland, is our mis-.
sion, so far as you are concerned.
No oonstraiut upon your free will is in
tended, no intimidations will be allowed.
Within the limits of this army at least,
Marylanders shall once more enjoy their
ancient freedom of thought and speech.
We know no enemies among you, and
will protect all of every opinion.
1t is for you to decide your destiny, free
ly and without constraint
This army will respect your choice, what
ever it may be- and while the Southern
people will rejoice to welcome you to your
natural position among them, they will only
welcome you when you come of your own
free will.

Treatment of Conquered Cities,

=, treatment OF OI-COnQuereQ ClLleSs
The Richmond Whig concludes and edi-
torial on this subject as follows:
= Our object is neither to get back into q
union with the North, or to conquer her,
or to wrest rom.her any, portion Of her ter;
ritory. It is, as We have said, simply to,a:
vert from ourselves the war Of conquest
which has been urged upon US, and to bring
the struggle to an end. We are, therefore,
entirely justified in doing anything consist
ent with the dictates Of humanity to secure
these objects. Wehave right, and ought
to exercise the right, to levy contributions
upon Northern cities, not only BY way Of
indemnity for ourovn sses,butinorderto
damage and cripple our. adversary. >. We
have right to arrest and deport Northern
citizens, and hold them as hostagesfor those
of our people who have been Seized and I'm
-muredin Northern dungeons we have
a right to appropriate and impress every
thing necessary for the supply ofour, troops;
thus relieving ourselves from q great bur-
den BY transferring it to the shoulders Of
the enemy. When we declare these things
not to be accessories to system ofeenquest
OF. asubjugation, but instrumentalities for
procuring a peaceful settlement, the world
will see that, while they are a just 'retribu:
tiou1 as to the Yankees, they are strictly
Lawful on our part: The Northern people
themselves, will discover that they have
something more to dread in continuing the
war than Che mere loss Of fife or limb upon
the field Of battle;- and that the concomi'
|tant horrors of the conflict, its evils and, its
burdens, may visit them at their own doors,
and even at their. ewn hearthstopes, ID
this way we shall gain some real benefit
from an invasion Of the North, and, even i
compelled to abandon the Northernserrito.
ry,, we shall leave behind remembrauces
which will, questiouless, entirely destroy
our adyersary's taste for the war.
