From the stonewnm stnte.

When the battle of Chickahominy took place,
we stated that the noble Old Dominion was
entitled to be called the StOne1raU State. She
well deserves that distinction, inaugurated by
her noble son, who was among the first to build
the wall at Manassas to separate the sections.
Since that period a succession Of Stonewalls
have arisen on every battle-feld-and many
have there beea on her historic soil-and now
we chronicle another under the same gallant
artisan, who is carving out tAe destiny Of the
Confederacy, and cutting It's proportions in the
material of history more durable than bass or
marble could produce.
Noble Virginia Your sons have illustrated
your glorious history most heroieally, and right
proper is it that their Confederate brethren
should gather on your soil to work cut the sal
Ystion of our beloved country.
The banner Of the government says 4" On
ward - ard Excelsior should be the battle
cry. We mean tive deserve tive viii
it. God protects the Southern Confed-
eracy. Soon win it stand among the nations of
the world, to be the asylum Of hberty-South

SUPERINTENDENT on CONsCRIPTs.

As the enrolment of conscripts is now pro-
crossing in this and other States, a recurrence to
the act Of Congress on the subject may not be
out of the place. The act provides that not over
two camps Of instructions shall be established
in any State, each Of which is to be assigned to
an officer not below the rank of msjor. The
whole duty Of this officer is comprised in taking
charge of the enrolment, mastering in, sub
s~istence, transportation, and disposition Of re-
cruits' raised under the act. He is required to
make application to the executives of the seve-
raj States for permission to employ State officers
for the duty Of enrolment, and only upon such
permission being refused can the War Depart
ment take charge of the matter through its own
officials. Aud where State officers sre employ
ed," says the enactment, 'ths regulations Of the
respeetige States, in regard to military enroll
ment, mast Be Observed as far as applicable"
The 18th section of the law in regard to ex-
emptions reads as follows:
Persons claiming exemption from military
duty under this act shall be required by the en-
rolling officer to make oath that they are law
fully exempt, and shall be furnished by ham l0lh
a certificate Of sach exemption"
We think that the true purport Of this section
has been misunderstood to a great extent by
some Of the government officials. Its object is
to relieve such parties as are palpably exempt,
from the useless trouble Of reporting themselves
at a distant camp Of instruction, and st the same
time to save the government from the expenses
of their transportation, which in the aggregate
is no small item. The practice in Georgia and
other States is for the enrolling officers of the
counties to give certificates Of exemp-
ton based upon certificates Of disability obtained
from "any regular army surgeontn good stand
This is the true intendment Of the law
Of Congress on the subject and no apology for
is evasion ought to be tolerated or accepted.

The correspondent Of the Mobile Necs, wri-

the following official account, the substance Of
which has already been telegrsphed you:
In CAMP, August 5-Gsneral Being Joined
by Captains Earle and Lewis, with their respec-
tive commands. we marched to the railroad, ex-
pecting to find a train Of cars. Upon arrival we
found the train had uni0aded two hundred and
fifty Federals, who were to march to Decatur
We pursued them BY d cucuil9us route and
came upon the head Of their column soon after
daylight. Waiting until the whole body had
passed, we charged after them in the read, the
advance being led by Lieutenant Whistsnant.
We pursued them 10 within three miles Of Deea-
tur, capturing 123 men and one Lieutenant. OF
the killed aud wounded Of the enemy l can give
no account, since they were eft scattered extern
sively on the road and in the adjacent eornfelds.
We captured IS guns, which were divided
equally among the eommsud.
We suffered a loss Of ono killed and thee
wounded, al of Captain Earle's company, be-
sides three horses.
We went in again yesterday evening near the
railroad sftsr forage, and had a skifmish with &
scouting party, with no other result than run-

trestles and cut the Telegraph wire at two

All the news we these times receive from Mis-
sour comes through Federal sources, but it is
nevertheless of the most cheering character.
1t indicates an almost general uprising Of the
people Of that State to resist the authority Of the
Federal government, and even unassisted, it
would require a large standing army to hold her
gallant sons srbject to the Lincoln despOtism.
But we have a reasonable hope that this
gallant State win ~. longer be forced to
