Let Justice Be Done.

In speaking Of enforcing the act of
Consumption, the Knoxville Register
says:
"The law encountered opposition in
Georgia and in Virginia, through the
factiousness of the Governors of those
States, but the people periodically sus-
tanned the Government, and it has been
enforced"
1t is but simple justice to the Cover
nor of Virginia to state that he has not
exhibited any "factiousness" and that
the enforcement of the act of Conscrip-
ton has not encountered opposition"
at the hands of our Governor. Whilst
he believed the law to be extra-consti-
tutional, yet, upon the principle, sazus
popatla suprenaa lee, he encouraged and
advised the people to yield prompt ODE
dience to its requirements. The course
Of the Governor Of this State has been
not only patriotic, but energetic to an
unusual degree, and he has set an exam
pie which other Governors would do
we'll to emulate With the exception of
North Western Virginia, the whole peo-
pie of this State, from the Governor to
the humblest citizen, have done and are
still doing their duty nobly.

FOR THE sPECTA TOR.
UNION, Monroe ,


Mr.. EDITOR A series of important changes
having taken place here within the last Lew days,
in relation to the Army of tie Kanawha Valley,
Of great interest to your readers, as well as 9TH
ers, with your consent, will speak briefly OF Ii
through the medium of your paper.
A few days ago Major-General Loring's divi-
sion General Jenkins cavalry excepted) was or
dered to Richmond. and yesterday had gotten
part of it this side the river, but, by wise Fe-
version OF the Department, Brigaaier- General
Echols received orders to return to the Valley
with the entire force, and to hold it," aud
General Loring was ordered to report In Rich
mOnd in person.
Before the reversion of the order for the evac-
uation many old citizens of the Valley were
leaving, and numbers of wagons turning back that
were on the way to Charleston for salt.
General Echols is now in command of good
and efficient army in the Valley. 1t is perhaps
improper to state the force, but it is sufficient
think, with General Echols in command, to hold
the Valley.
There is about 9, 800 barrels of salt at Gauley
Bridge, which can be bought at 81 20 per bushel,
or it can be had at the Works at from 30 cents to
ST. in any quantities. Persons wishing to get 1t
at the latter place should bring sacks along IN
which to put it and we would advise all persons
wishing to get sali to come now and lay In a
good store for the hard times that may yet be IN
store for us. There is no danger in passing from
Augusta to Charleston. Haul along your provi-
sion as corn is selling along the road at so
The health of this division of the army Is very
good.
In haste,
Yours respectfully,
Oct. 18th, 1862. j. ID. HEIzEk.

The Enemy Admit a Heavy Loss.

A Yankee correspondent of the "New
York Times" admits that they lost in
killed on the field at the battle of Per-
ryville more than we did, but says that
our wounded and prisoners exceeded
theirs. He says that their loss in killed,
wounded and missing will reach between
three and four thousand. Gen'l Bragg,
in his official report, published in this
issue, says that our loss vas about $500.
whilst that of the enemy was about A.
900. There is no doubt that General
Bragg defeated the enemy in that battle,
though the victory was notas disastrous
to the enemy as the first dispatches rep
resented.

The grand Movement in Kentucky

Never since the war commenced, saws
the Greenville Tenn) Banner, of tie
Goth, has there been so grand and pro-
ftable tour made, as the one Just ac-
complished by Gen. Bragg. Just think
of it, he has captured from the enemy,
and purchased from the citizens together
enough to load train of wagons forty
miles long. His whole army has fallen
back towards the Gap to protectthis val
liable train ,and as it is now safe from cap
ture, Bragg will retire with his army
nst where it suits him.
The arrival of this train will play
smash with the Jeans speculation in
this country, as it is bringing one million
yards of good Kentucky Jeans. They
also bring large amount of clothing,
boots and shoes. Two hundred wagon
loads of bacon, six thousands barrels of
pickle pork, fifteen thousand good mules
and horses, eight thousand beeves, and
a large lot ofhogs No wonder Bragg's
army fell back to protect such a valu-
able cargo.

Yankee Losses at perryv.lIe.

The Baltimore American says =
The Union losses in the battle of Perry
vile otherwise called the battle OF
Chaplin lillls) are, we regret to perceive,
much larger than stated in some of the
reports. In Rosseau's division alone
the loss was upwards of two thousand
as follows: killed 465; wounded ,453
missing 16l; making a total of 2,Os9.
Included in these figures are about sew
enty commissioned officers. This d.
vision we believe, bore the brunt of the
fight 1t is composed of the 9th Brig
ade, General Harris 18th Brigade,
General Lyle, and 28th Brigade, Gen
eral Starkweather.

Gen. Bragg's Campaign.

When our paper went to press last
week, it was supposed, from informa-
ton received at that time, that another
battle would be fought between the ar
mics of Bragg and Buell. on the 18th,
which we feared, from the superior
numbers of the enemy, might result I'M
favorably to our arms; but the result
has shown that Bragg inflicted such a
severe blow upon Buell. at the battle OF
Perryville, on the 9Th, that he was una
bic or unwilling to attack him on the
18th. The Lynchburg 6 Virginian"
says that the "nett results of Bragg's
campaign consist Of a victory at Mum
fordsville, with the capture Of nearly
5000 prisoners and several thousand
stand Of arms "a victory at Perryville,
in which the enemy were driven back
with great slaughter, losing 500 prison
ers and fifteen heavy guns-and the Sc
curing Of provisions and clothing e.
nough to last the entire army of the
West through the winter. Having done
all this, he secures the fruits of his cam
paign by retiring to defensible posi-
| ton on the border of the State, and for
the present resting on his oars. Thus,
at the very time whenit was most need
ed, he has prepared his army for com
Portable winter quarters, if the over
whelming force Of the enemy should
compel him to remain inactive or for
active offensive operations, if to assume
the offensive shall at any time appear
prudent.
I His Kentucky campaign is, therefore.
in no sense a failure-for the withdraw
al of Buell's army from Northern Ala
bama and Southern Tennessee, and the
consequent relief of those sections from
the presence Of the invaders, is, of itself
an achievement which crowns our Ken
lucky campaign with success. Add (
this the substantial fruits of the expedi
tion-.-the "opa1a0 spo1aa," or rich spoils
the capture ofwhich were wont to please
the old Roman Generals so much-an6
there foots up heavy balance, on the
}, Confederate side, in the general adjust
ment Of the account. What are Gen
eral Bragg's future purposes, we know
not but he has not abandoned Ken
lucky, nor does it seem likely that h
: will. He may probably design to maxi
) Cumberland Gap on the border of Ken
lucky his base Of operations during tn
, winter; where, if he does nothing else
his presence will serve as check to tn
enemy, and prevent their reoccupatiol

The "Augusta Lee Rifles.''

The Captain of the "Augusta Lee
Rifles has kindly furnished us with a
list of the names Of those of that gallant
Company who have been killed, wound
ed and died of disease since the organi-
cation of that company He says, lit is
easy to account for the large proportion
who have died from disease when we
consider the hardships and exposure 10
which his company was subject during
the campaign in the mountains of North
Western Virginia, and that it is remark
liable that so few were wounded and only
one killed when we consider the fact
| that the company was actively engaged
in the infantry fight on Allegheny, at
Mcdowell, Cross Keys, under fire at
Port Republic and the series of battles
before Richmond, and at Manassas, be-
sides being in the charges made by
General Early's Brigade at Manassas
and Sharpsburg. Nothing but a kind,
over ruling Providence could have pre-
served them from being cut to pieces
during the terrific firing to which they
were subjected in the above battles
The health of the company is at present
very good, and they have a beautiful
encampment."

The call for moro soldiers.

The President, being authorized by
the Consumption act to call into the mil
itary service of the Confederacy all per-
sons between the ages of Is and As
years, or such parts thereof as, in his
judgment, may be necessary for the
public defense, has issued instructions
to the enrolling officers to enroll all per
sons, not exempt by the provisions Of
the recent exemption bill, between the
ages Of Is and 40 years. This is doubt
less relief to those between the ages
Of 40 and IS years.

Gloves Gloves 7

We would request all persons who
are making up clothing either for the
use of their families or that of soldiers,
to save all the scraps that may be made
use of in the manufacture OF gloves, and
send them to the Book Store Of Mr..
Robt. Cowan of this place, where they
will be delivered into the hands Of the
Ladies who will make them up into
gloves for the use of the soldiers. Eve
ry family can in this way contribute
something for the soldiers. Now is the
time to send them. Do not wait until
their hands are frosted, but send the
scraps on in time to have the gloves
made before freezing weather sets in.

Gen'l Siuart's Force.

In his late excursion into Pennsylva-
MIA, General Stuart had only 1900 men
and two pieces of artillery, and not 81
900 as before stated, and as the enemy
represented He brought away 500
horses, and not 1900 as reported. The
small number of his men makes the sue
cess of his exploit the more wonderful
