The Great Victory in Virginia.

.nccess of the Confederate arms, in
,o.t signal manner, is admitted by the
'.-.sern press TO as greet an extent as is
med by our meagre dispatches. They
To- nee their defeat, and in addition to
,.snondent are very severe upon Pope,
oei'e aa,oitted was outgeneraled by Jack
n and suffered loss of a great portion oil his
~ and nearly all his supplies, and has
'il' way 20 Washington, which they
ocs;n in perilOus situation, and
"a 18th an army flushed with victory
III hos heretofore proven itself irwin
oih1e in battle or strategy.
copv of the Memphis Bulletin OF Monday
oroiro last, contained two columns OF
ra-,hern Dispatches, giving numerous de-
- .bo hattie of Thursday. The paper
49, hroupht out and intended for the press,
"a. taken possession Of by the military
80 reaching the city. On Thursday, tits
- We occupied Manassas Junction, cap
three New Jersey regiments, seven
,r,ios loaded with stores, and incalculable
an,otitv of supplies and munitions Three
ailments we're also taken, their own
-.;tror, beinr turned against them. Jack
-.o also occupied Centeryille, where he cap
..-ol the l05th Pennsylvania, and many
snoplics His pickets were, it is stated, ex-
Id the same evening to Burke's station,
,he Alexandria railroad, twelve miles
s-a., tho CITY. Various other disasters to
that norton of their army engaged on Thurs
which they assert was Pope's column
,pIv-are also enumerated, serving to show
that the defeat and rout was so overwhelming
As to preclude the. possibility of concealing
or even mitigating its extent, which caused a
l.,.,rture from what has heretofore been
,l,.ir ruIe-that is, always claiming victory
70, matter what the result might have been
Several gentlemen who read the account on
49,. cars concur 10 the above version, and
noticed the responding tone of the press
generally
Of battles on Friday and Saturday, nc
arronnt was given, and at the result we can
only arrive from our own dispatches. Pope
ara. defeated on Thursday. On Friday, Nc
Clell,n attacked the Confederate right, under
Loprstreet. and was repulsed. On Saturday
Is mmunicated to Congress by President
Davis. the battle of Manassas was fought
over, and the result was the rout of the COM
bined Federal army, after an attack by the
combined forces of the Confederates, under
General Lee This is the information we
are in possession of at the time of writing
aud we deem it definite enough to announce
that on each day glorious victory was won
that of the last being so decisive as to have
utterly demoralized the enemy and again
placed the glittering prize of the Federal
CAPT al within our reach. We shall await
further particulars with interest.
LATER.-Since the foregoing was written
we have received lengthy synopsis of the
dispatches contained in the Bulletin of Mon
day evening, which fully confirms the
account of the first days battle, given above

Eg- The Memphis Bulletin, of Friday

morning last, says:
In the fight near Richmond. Ky, last
Saturday. between small portion of
Colonel Metcalf's command and twelve
hundred Confederates, it appears that
the colonel's men, with the exception of
one hundred, could not be brought within
sight of the enemy. The Tennessee in
fantry fought CALAMITY.
Col Metcalf returned to Richmond
where be received reinforcements. and
the rebels retreated. Several columns
are now passing towards the mountains.
By way of Frankfort we have late and
favorable intelligence from Cumberland
Gap. 1t begins to be apparent that the
rebels have no such formidable force in
Kentucky as was represented.

Important Movement from COrinth.

The St. Louis Democrat learns that on
Thursday last Gen. Rosecrans left Cor
inth with an army of 10000 or 10000
men. and proceeded in southwest direc-
ton. towards Jimtown. where a body of
$4,000 rebels were lying, under Gen.
Armstrong. Gen. Price is near by. at
Tupelo, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad,
with force estimated at $4,000 men.
1t is probable that on being threatened,
Price and Armstrong will combine and
give Gen. Rosecrans battle. Nothing
would certainly afford our troops more
pleasure, as they are in fine health and
spirits, suffering only a little discomfort
at being kept so long inactive in the face
of the enemy. The withdrawal of the
force under Rosecrans will not in the
least leave that point exposed. Enough
remain behind for all emergencies. We
shall likely have stirring news from Gen.
Grants army in a few day.
We take the foregoing from the Mem
phis Bulletin. 1t is fair sample of the
sensation intelligence with which the
North is furnished.-Appeal.

THAT'S WARS THE Matter v'-We
have at last found out the origin Of this
popular phrase. A friend OF ours who had
been absent all summer, returning few
days since, called upon an cstimable lady
friend. He was surprised to find her con-
fined to sick bed. After the salutations
were over, our friend remarked: "Why.
Mrs. am very sorry to find you
i'll, what is the matter!' Quickly reaching
over to the back Of the bed, the invalid
turned down the coverlid, disclosing a
beautiful infant. wrapped in the embrace of
the rosy god, and said triumphantly,
that's achats the matter pr La Crosse De-
Aaocrat.

SArIRIcAL.-The following pungent sa-
tire is from the West Union Pioneer. 1t
hits beneath the fur:
At the last regular Session of the Legis-
iature of this State, bill was passed re-
ducing the salaries of all the State officers,
including the Governor, the Judges Of the
Supreme and District Courts, and District
Attorneys. That bill the Governor Vetoed
as being Unconstitutional At the late
Extra Session Of the same body bill was
passed reducing the salaries Of all the said
officers except the Governor, which bill he
signed and approved on the 18th day Of
Sept. 1862. This shows to us that the un-
constitutionality of the bill passed at the
regular Session, arose from the fact that it
reduced the Governors pay, and when
that was obviated he checrfully assisted in
reducing the salaries of other State officers.
kirkwood seems to be governed in his Off
cial actions by the following proverb.-
"He that proyideth rot for his own house
hold is worse than heathen."

The Memphis Appeal gives the following extracts
from the st. Louis Republican OF the ION u't'
st has been understood for several days past taI !
forward movement in progress IN the western
part OF Missouri and that army was about TO sttle
an effective blow at the Coutedcrates IN that section
1t vas generally thought that tie movement was ue
signed to cut off the recruits for Prices army muster
ed into service in Lexington, and it turns Out that te
! supposition was correct
.tGen Halleck this morning received dlSpatcn from
brgadier-generd Pope announcing that after iolcou
march he had captured hundred and hlty prison
er cut of some fifteen hundred rebels who we're recruit
ed at Lexington together with baggage camp equip
"The dispatch states that bya forced march he Gen
Pope) interposed between the enemy and CLINTON m

I Shawnee mound.
.sThe Coniederates we're encamped SIX miles north
west of Chilhowee in johnson county, some 1000 III

Al soon as they learned Of theapproach OF Cen rope,
they Immediately broke up their camp and beat very
hlsv retreat towards Rose HILL in the western part OF
johnson county.
"Geu. Pope then threw forward ten companies Of
cavalry and section Of artillery in pursuit, ana then
followed with his whole force-abOut 10000 the
Confederate troops continued to retreat IN the most
rapid manner but were 30 closely pursued, that
at Johntown Bates county, they were competed TO
scatter in various directions mostly towards Butler the
county seat of Bates county, and PamhsVhe, II inc
southern part of the same county
'SDetermined to be i0iled, Cen Pope forced a
strong cavalry reconnaissance through from Clinton to
within fifteen miles of Osceola and there Intercepted
$50 Of the fleeing rebels and forced them to surrender
Seven wagons tents baggage horses etc fell INTO our
hands
.sThe whole country, Gen Pope says, is now clear
