they were sent AS escort to the baggage
train, and, passing through unquestioned,
dashed upon our officers, and took them all
prisoners. Their Discrimination was so
nice that they even spared eight wagons
belonging 10 the Harris Lig Cavaly, be-
cause their battalion was acting as body
guard to Mcdowell.
Cen Banks had very narrow escape
from death during the engagement of his
troops on Saturday morning on the extreme
right of our line. He WAS leaning against
a tree, watching the progress OF the hght,
when u rifed shot from rebel battery
struck the tree about eighteen inchesabove
his head, cutting it clean in two. With
his usual good fortune, he escaped injury,
even from the splinters. L found the Gem
ecal ON Friday afternoon, lying IN the
shade of a tree, with his staff about him,
and the horses picketed close by. He is
looking thin and little pale, and his leg
is still stif from the effect OF his recentin-
jury. Until Friday, he had ridden in an
ambulance from place TO place, but on that
day he mounted his horse and directed the
movements of his corps in person. From
him got the true version of the accident
which happened in the hard battle ut
Slaughter mountain. Il seems that he and
his staff were lying on the ground as
found them on Friday, when sudden dash
was made in their direction by some rebel
cavalry. The tumult frightened the staff
horses, and large, powerful ANNA OF
the Generals became seriously scared at
the discharge of pistols, gave sudden
plunge forward, and, striking the general
in the hip with great force, threw him
down and bruised him severely.
On Saturday morniug word was brought
to Gen. Pope thut the enemy were throw

should have mentioned in its proper
place that when our two batteries and the
18th and 18th Massachusetts Regiments
were withdrawn from the opposite side OF
the bridge, the string-pieces of tue bridge
were snwn in two, but rs the structure did
not fall sufficiently to cut off all chances
of the enemy's passage, the timbers were
| fired, and in short time consumed y
cotton-mill close by was also burnt, and Il
small block-house across the river shared
the same fate. During the progress Of
lthese operations our fatigue parties were
exposed to fierce shower of projectiles
| from the Rebel batteries in the edge of the
river. a long train of cars loaded with
ammunition was standing on the track al
Rappahaunock Station, and narrowly es-
capped destruction, several percussion and
fuse shells passing over and beyond them,
If one of the cars had been struck, the
| explosion must have been like the shock o
an earthquake, for the train must have con
tanned several tuns of powder in all.

ReeulatIons for substItutes,

Quite number of suggestions have been
made to the Government with II view 10
equalize the price to be peid for substitutes
10 cases where they may be required under
the draft for three hundred thousand nlne
months militiamen. Some have urged that
the War Department shall take charge of
the whole matter, and others recommend
that u rate shall be established, and that
the price shall be paid directly into the
Treasury by those who may be compelled
TO procure substitutes. The same subject
was canyassed during the war of 1872
when Congress provided for such cases by
enacting, on the 10Th of December, 1914.
that any person subject to militia duty who
shall, according to law, furnish recruit
for the army of the United States, at his
own expense, during the war, shall there
upon be exempt from militia during the War.
Under the ample powers conferred by
Congress upon the President, something OF
this kind might be adopted uow.-i'hiIa-

WEST LIBERTY, Va, Aug. ~, 1862.
Editors Inteiii9eHcsT:
am happy to see so many brave men in
West Virginia ready to pledge their lives,
their honor, and their all, for the cause of
the Union, and men, too, combining in
them the rare qualities of intelligence AMI
Christian virtue. With such noble men
already in the field, we may reasonably
hope TO see this wicked rebellion put down
ut no very distant period. love these
men; they have made a great sacrifice for
the cause they love, and we should not for
get them. They have committed their
wives, their mothers. their sisters, and their
all, into the hand of Him "whose they are
and whom they serye,n and they now stand
ready to protect our homes and families.
Should we not love them and should we
not do all in our power to make them
hnppy2 Then let us dry up'their tears; let
us help them TO forget, If possible, the anx-
iety of home; let US give them TO feel that
we place the proper estimate apon their
worth, aud don't think of any way that
this may be done more etfectually than by
providing n substantial dinner ut Camp
WILEY for all of our brave soldiers. Let
the people of Wheeling. of Ohio county, of
Martinsville, of Bridgeport, and of all the
country round about take an interest, and
let US have good time generally. Let til +,
Governor be invited, aud others who will
enliyen the occasion by appropriate speech-
es, and let the world see that we appreciate
not only our liberty, but also the men who
are ready to stand up for it in the hour
when it is assailed.
Having some knowledge of the people OF
this county, am prepared to pledge you
their hearty cooperation in this matter.
And let us, rs Christians, pray that the
God of battles may graciously favor and
give success to their efforts in the suppress
sion of this unholy rebellion
Yours truly, ".
