WASHINGTON, an. 1.-THE skirmish OF
Captain Russell at Bath was brilliant at.
fair. He had been detailed from General
Kelly's command, with two regiments OF
infantry and two squadrons of cavalry, and
was stationed at Bath. On the approach of
General Jackson, in command of 5000 or
5000 rebels; his scouts gave him notice.
He was six miles from the Potomack
river. We took the infantry out about two
miles, and posted them as skirmishers in a
dense wood The cavalry was left to en-
gage the advance of the enemy. 81
An exchange of shots was consequent.
Therner Ashley, of Guerilla notoriety came
on and fell into the ambush.
Captain Russell lost seven horses and
kept eleven of the enemy's, and returned
with his whole force across the Potomac,
with loss of only two men, who were
drowned in crossing. This is considered
one of the most brilliant manoeuvres of the
war.

The Unterrided Union Men Of the Border
The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial speaks Of the sound
Union position Of Samuel L. Casey Of Ken
lucky, and then says:
Elected to this Congress by the Union
men Of his district, he has steadily voted
in way that was very distasteful to those
who look for nothing but a reconstruction,
with the power Of slavery intact and un-
diminished. They have lately given him
notice that if he continued 10 vote against
Southern interests in the manner be had
been doing they would disown him, and
withdraw the favor Of their valuable coun-
tenance from such a renegade. Nothing
daunted by this menace, Mr. Casey voted
"dye" on the ConfscatiOn bill, with the
emphasis Of a man in earnest and know
ing what he was about He did this in
company with Maynard of Tennessee (from
Parson BroWnlow's district), who has seen
enough Of rebel expressions to believe in
crushing the hydra Blair and Whaley Of
| Virginia, who represent the noble free State
sentiment Of that recreant Commonwealth
and Fisher Of Delaware, who is a true son
Of labor, and elected in great part by Re-
publican votes in the memorable campaign
Of 1860. These fYe men, together viii
Blair of Missouri, who was absent, repre-.
sent the absolutely unterrifed, mistaken
unseduced Union men Of the Border Statei

The city Of Chicago is teeming with Sc
eessionists, and has been from the begin
ming. The great mass of tho citizens are
not exceeded in loyalty and patriotism by
those of any other city or section, but therO
are among them hosts of secession sympa-
thiEers. The Tribune says that Chicago Is
full Of seoessiOnists--a startling but true
assertion. There are secessionists in the
schools, in the churches, in almost every
civic organization. In some Of the drink
ing saloons it Is fairly unsafe for one to
proclaim himself an unconditional Union
man. It was not an infrequent nor insig-
nifcant boast that was made on Friday at
the corner Of Clark and Randolph streets
that "By Cd JEFF. Davis will be up here

siOnists has at length been arrested His
name is George Burroughs, who went to
Chicago six years ago and commenced
business as 4 carpenter. In 1889 he re-
moved to Memphis, and at the breaking out
Of the war was as strong a secessioRist as If
a Southerner born, He obtained an agency
for the supply Of medicines to the COnfed-
crate troops. To obtain them he must 60
to st. Louis or Chicago. After the federal
capture of Memphis he passed the federal
lines by a forged pass, and arrived at Chi
cago on Monday, the l4th inst. Visiting
relatives and boldly prOclaiming his seces-
sion feelings, the police were put upon his
track, and from that time he was closely
watched. To a pretended secessiOnist he
said, d,-what has too much truth to it:
HYou here at the North don't know what
you are fighting for; you don't display any
skill at all. Our folks show that they know
what they are fighting for. Il dOesn'tp pay

At length, having provided his requisite
quantity of quinine, he left Chicago on the
18th, and was arrested at Cairo by de-
tective, who had followed him from Chi

ne PFesident and the ConhsoatIon BIN.
The reports upon the Presidents veto

submitted the veto message which he had
prepared, not as veto, but to give bis
views al length upon the bill. This was

ing, Make the war on the rebels, use reb-
ell property for the support Of your armies,
subsist of the enemy's country, use ne

proof that you are in earnest and you can
raise one hundred thousand soldiers from
Illinois alone; adhere to the present peace
policy Of conducting the war, and you get
