The following extract from private let
ter Of Captain William T. Lush, a meritO-
riOus officer who was Assistant Adjutant
General on the staff of Major General Ste
vens, gives interesting details of the man
uer of the Generals death. It was written
immediately after the battle of Chantilly, in
which General Stevens was killed;
Whenever anything desperate was to be
performed, Kearney and Stevens were al
ways selected, with this difference, though,
that Stevens was rarely credited with what
be did, while KeaFney's praises were very
properly published. On Mondays fight
the Generals son and myself were walk
ing together in the rear of the 18th regiz
ment, when Captain Stevens was wounded.
Finding that he was able to move off without
assistance, continued to follow the regi-
ment Soon the General came up on foot
Shave you seen your SOM l asked. Yes,
said he, 81 know that he is wounded, and
then added ".Captain Lush, l wish you
would pass to the left of the line and push
the men forward in that direotiOn." did
as I was ordered and on my return found
that the General had been killed and the
troops badly slaughtered
The General, you have read, was shot
while holding the flag of the 10th regiment
in his hand. There were FIVE men shot
holding the same flag in about twenty
minutes time. I found the sixth man
standing almost alone at the edge of some
woods, still clinging hopelessly to the
eolors drew him back to the crest of a
hill, couple of hundred yards, and gath
cred few of the 10th about it. Kearney
then came riding up and asked the name
Of the little band On being told, he said,
" scotchmen, you must follow me-" They
told him they had not a round of ammuni-
tion left. "Well, said he, then stand
where you are, and it may be you will be
able to assist my men with the bayonet."
The soldierly form moved on, and il, too,
soon was dust Stevens was a great man,
and Kesrney a courageous soldier.

Prominent Rebel Oaleers.

Lee, according to an army correspondent
is believed to be the brains, as Jackson is
the hand and foot, of the army. Lee plans );
Jackson executes. In their marches, Jack
son leads the advance and Lee brings
up the rear. Lee will talk, to some extent;
but jackson is always silent Even his
friends are unable to obtain from him any
clue to the plans. Jackson is described as
man of very peculiar temper and habits.
He dresses in the commonest manner, wear
ing no badge that can indicate his rank
He lives entirely in the field, sharing the
half rations Of his men, and disdaining
the effeminate luxury of house roof and
good bed. At one Of his recent stopping
places he was induced to occupy q DWELL
ing house as his headquarters, but he be-
came uneasy at such unWonted comfort,
and was presently found again in his old
place amongst his soldiers. His whole
baggage is his Bible and few maps, and
when not on the march he spends his time
reading the former,or lying on the ground
and studying the latter. He is Of intense
ly religious habits, and would seem more
type of the old Puritan soldier than any
other man in either army. Forrest is 8
man of about fifty, with silver hair, which
was once black; q tall, straight figure,
weighing about one hundred and sixty
pounds. He wears gray whiskers and
moustache, in the Corsican style, and
though quiet, demure and sedate man, is
full of dry jokes and exceedingly coed
natured.

In compliance with an invitation, the
Hon Mr.. LOvejoy last Thursday addressed
the soldiers at Camp Peoria. The Peoria
Transcript gives the following sketch Of
his speech:
aMr. Lovejoy reviewed the conduct Of
the war, and dwelt on the absolute neces-
sity of waging it with all the power and
vigor at our command. He believed Old
Abe was thoroughly aroused to the emer-
gency, and was mad through and through,
up and down. He heartily Endorsed Mr..
Lincolns letter to Horace Greeley. He
was for the Union, first, last, and all the
time, and hostile as he was to the institu-
ton of slavery, he would save it, if saving
it saved the republic He appealed to the
common sense of the soldiers on the negro
question, and exposed the miserable clap
trap of those who did not hesitate to sac
rifce the dearest rights, and even the lives
Of white men, to their prejudices against
the blacks. He advocated eOnfscation, but
denounced all indiscriminate plunder by
our troops. His speech was listened to
throughout with marked attention, and
was enthusiastically ' applauded.

miraculous Escnpe.

At the late battle of New Ulm, Mrs
Caruthers, who escaped from Beaver Creek,
was at first taken prisoner, but two In
dams became engaged in a quarrel as to
who should have her for q squaw, and
while the quarrel was progressing she
made her escape with her two children
She was out one day and two nights, and
finally reached the Minnesota river, where
she found canoe and tried to paddle it
across, but not understanding the modus
operandi, was foated down the river some
six miles and landed near the fort in safe
ty, with one child in her arms and anOth-
eron her back, and is now at ST. Peter.
Mrs Harrington was shot in the back
at LeavenwOrth The same ball shot a
finger off her infant child. Mrs Harring-
ton and child were out in the brush nine
days, and subsisted on hazel nuts. She
remained secreted from the Indians all
this time, working her way towards white
settlements as best she could. Her child,
usually fretful, remained remarkably quiet,
and whenever she would hear Indians, she
would kneel down and pray to God to
koep her infant quiet and deliver her from
danger. Her rescue was made by one of
our pickets, while crawling towards our
lines. Our picket snapped two caps at
her before he discovered she was a white
woman. She first hailed the picket in the
Sioux language, and he supposed her to
be an Indian. Her escape was most mirac-
ulous throughout.

UNION STATE TICKET.
R. ?. sPALLING, Of Cuyahoga.


ELuua He Z ElnAAAMAs
The Congressional Convention which
met in this city yesterday, nominated
Judge spalding for Congress, to succeed
Hon. A. G. Riddle. In this district, where
Judge spalding is so well known, it is
needless for us to speak of his talent and
integrity, and of his eminent fitness for
the position for which he was nominated.
He has always acted with the radical wing
Of the party, being himself thorough
-s0ine anIi-slaxerx- man He will repre-
sent the district faithfully and with tideI-
ity. Upon the vital questions of the day
which the war has developed, Judge Spal-
ding occupies no equivoeal position, but
has been in favor of the course adopted by
Congress and the President He approves
most heartily the Presidents proclamation,
and will sustain him to the best of his
ability.
We believe that the district should have
endorsed the course of Mr.. Riddle in Con-
gress in voting in favor of the great meas
ufes for putting down the rebellion and
sbOlishing slavery, by returning him as is
customary in such cases for a second
term. But the people have seen fit to nom
mate another, and we therefore most
cheerfully hoist the name of Judge spal-
ding at the head of our columns as our
candidate for Congress.

''lIaryland, my Maryland"


HMARYLAND, MY MARYLAND. After
all the Secesh Of this State have, inviting
" it is true, been instrumental in render
ing more essential service to the Union
cause than if they had ever been true and
loyal.-Their repeated calls upon the rebels
at Richmond for help to rid them of their
s'oppressors" and the lavish promise made
to swell the rebel army by the addition of
thousands of the Maryland chivalry,"
with the expectation Of obtaining supplies
for their famishing host, have all combined
to induce the raid into Maryland by the
rebels generals, which is declined, no doubt
to cause the entire discomftur of all their
hopes Of success. General Lee soon found
after his advent that he had been deceived
and in stead of an uprising in his behalf
and general rush to arms to aid in reLiev-

A dispatch from Frederick states that
shelling was kept up at the enemy across
the river at Sheppardstown until Friday
night A report came into Frederick that
a force was crossing at Williamsport and
a part of our army were sent to meet them.
Heavy firing was heard at noon on Friday
in that direction and at Sharpsburg, but
up to Saturday night no intelligence had
been received from either place. The in
habitants in the vicinity of Frederick and
Hagerstown are returning to their homes,
and they seem to be in great glee because
the rebels are driven access the river. No
pillaging was allowed by the rebels pre-
vious to the battle of South Mountain, but
after that they cleared the whole country
pretty thoroughly, particularly around
Sharpsburg, almost every house in the
town having been robbed, and the goods
which they could not use destroyed.

Comments on the Shameful aGair at Will
iamsburG.
Correspondence of the Inquirer,l

Correspondence of the Inquirer.I
WnLIAMsBURo, Virginia, September, 10, 1862.
The policy at present pursued by the
Rebels of paroling all the prisoners they
take, holds out strong inducement to our
officers to give themselves up as prisoners
of war at the first opportunity. This was
clearly demonstrated on the 9th instant, at
the time an attack was made on the Fifth
Pennsylvania Cavalry at this place. If a
previous arrangement was not made, it
seemed very singular how it could have
happened in the manner it did. Our pick
cts, which were at least four miles distant,
were driven in, or taken, at three o'clock
in the morning. This was known to GER
tain of our officers; yet the camp was al
lowed to be taken by surprise, after six
o'clock, without allowing the men the least
chance for preparation. Then came a con-
fused hustle, with conflicting orders. One
officer, it is well known, ordered retreat,
for which he is now under arrest.
Some were inclined to fight and did so to
the number of perhaps one squadron; but
the majority of the officers who were ta-
ken, gave themselves up without any re-
sistance; on the contrary, they had every
chance either to make stand or get sway
if necessary. This can be proven by any
number Of witnesses. Some of the officers
who at first ran, afterwards threw down
their arms, rode back and gave themselves
up, swearing that they would go with the
others to see Richmond. 1t would not be
80 bad if these same officers had not been
heard to swear at thelmen, calling them cow
ards, when the appellation applied more
properly to themselves.
This will be better understood when it
is better known that after driving our men
for some distance, while the confusion las
ted, they were afterwards handsomely re-
pulsed by the bravery of no less than one
company. hope, in justice to the men of
the regiment, that this will be inserted,
that the blame may rest where it properly
belongs, and also that other investigations
may be made, which, am persuaded, will
show something rotten in Denmark.

From Commodore Davis Fleet.

A correspondent writes to the Cincin-
nati Commercial from Helena, Arkansas,
on the 9Th He says the flag ship Eastport
is laying off two miles above Halena, there
not being sufficient water on the bar for
her to get over. He thinks it will "eut out
in day or two. The gunboats TylOr and
Louisville took charge of the convoy Of
prisoners the EastpOrt had with her, and
delivered them TO the rebel authorities at
VIeksburg. The Benton, Mound City,
Pittsburgh, and General Bragg were at
Helena. Commodore Davis had been con-
6aed to his cabin by illness ever since the
Esstport left Cairo, and was on deck on
the 9Th for the first time. Captain Phelps
being absent from the feet, Lieutenant W.
. B. Hoel was acting in the capacity of Fleet
captain.
