VINO RAN AT THE BATTLE OF RICHMoND?-The
Richmond Enquirer shamelessly intimates that the
falsehoods published in the Yankee papers that
North Carolina troops ran in the battle of June 1st
near Richmond, because of the divisions in this
State and the course of the Standard. Will Jour-
nal which claims to be respectable so stulty itself?
Why did not the Enquirer tell the plain truth about
it? The Yankees knew that some troops ran. They
knew that North Carolinians were in the battle
Why did they say that the North Carolinians ran !?
Simply because Vrginians are always ridiculing the
North Carolinians, and charging them with cow
ardice. 1t has been done repeatedly. Now the
truth is, no North Carolinian on that occasion,
but it can be proven that Virginians did. Why
does not the Enquirer correct the falsehood? Ask
Gen. Huger who ran on that day, Virginians or
North. Carolinians?

Gov. Clark and the Goviernorship.

"oSs OldIA anu tnc UOVCEuVsohAPs
1t is little remarkable that Gov. Clark, who halls
from the Edgecombe region, and who has acquitted
himself as Governor quite as we'll as Mr. Johnston
would, has been overlooked and neglected by the
Stalltederate party. What has Gov. Clark done, or
omitted to do that the cold shoulder should thus be
given to him? 80.
We observe that the Wilmington Journal still
withholds its support from Mr.. Johnston. This is
significant, and may be accounted for on these
grounds: First, Gov Clark is an old Democrat and
Mr.. Johnston is an old Whig, and the Journal is
mainly supported by those who were formerly Dem
ocrats. Second, the last Governor was from the
West and was nominated in Mr.. Johnston's town !;
and the Journal may think that the East and espe-
cially Edgecombe, is entitled to the Governor. -
Third, Mr. Johnston is known to DO in favor, as his
acts show, of building up the port Of Charleston, to
the neglect and injury of our own ports.
1t remains to be seen whether the friends of Gov.
Clark will submit to his being operslaughed by an
aspirant for the Office, who is by no means his sr-
perior either in decision of character or business
qualifications
All the other papers in the State have indicated
their choice for Governor, but the Journal is as
dumb as an oyster at dead Of night in Onslow bay
We know the Journal was in favor, some months
since, of seeding IRON this State and annexng New
Hanover to South Carolina and it may be that he
will turn his back on his friend and patron, Gov
Clark, and go for the South Carolina candidate -

general BATTLE has been fought Besides the usual
picket firing and artillery practice for some days
which looked to general battle, very sharp skr-
miSh took place six or seven miles from Rlch'Aond,
on the Williamsburg road on Wednesday morning.
The accounts in the Richmond papers, but the
Examiner which is usually correct, says that on
Tuesday night the enemy advanced and drove in the
pickets Of the l4th n c. Regiment, Col. Roberts,
and they were reinforced by the 4th Georgia. and
lst Louisiana of Gen. Wright's brigade. Three
brigades of the enemy, Sickles, Hunters and Sum-
ners, advanced upon our lines about 81 o'clock, on
Wednesday morning After heavy firing, the lst
Louisiana Regiment charged the enemy twice. and
drove him back The fight was principally main,
tanned on our side by the lst Louisiana, I'd, 81
and Esd Georgia, and the l4th North Carolina
The enemy is said to have sustained severe loss.
The 1st Louisiana which suffered most on side,
lost perhaps 80 killed and 150 wounded. The loss
of the other regiments triiing. The ball was
wound up bv the artillery.

Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-08-19

Tt is currently reported in this city that the
first Mormon trains from Salt Lake City this
season were stopped at Fort Laramie by the mil
itary authorities there, in pursuance Of an order
from the government
The reason for this sudden check to the Nor
mon emigration is said TO be on account Of the
destruction of the mails, stage stations, robbng
and numbering of emigrants on the route be-
tween the fort and Salt Lake City, which have
all along been attributed to the Indians; but the
government has been put in possession Of intel
igence which warrants the supposition that the
authorities Of Brigham Young have been instru-
mental in the commission Of these acts of depre-
daton. Among the reasons for this belief, on
the part Of the government, is said to be that,
while emigrsnt trains from Oregon and CalifOr-
MIA have been continually harrassed onthe route
west of Fort Laramie, the Mormon trains have
passed along undisturbed
1t is further said that Brigham Young has or
dered every able-bodied man in the territory
the entire militia-tO muster Immediately for
drill and service, requiring the women to take
care of the crops. Ii is, no doubt, the intention
Of Brigham Young to dispatch large force to
meet the coming emigration train to Utah, and
contest the right, by military power OF escorting
his subjects to Utah.
Should these Tumors prove correct, we may
expect to hear of conflict in the West, between
the government troops and the military
powers under Brigham Young Omaha Nebras-

We publish this morning, from the Chicago
Tribune, the fullest and most satisfactory &C
count of the recent battle at Cedar Creek, we
have yet seen. It would seem, from this report
that Gen. StonewaIl Jackson, by series of
characteristic movements, outgeneraled the
commander Of the army of Virginia. and man
aged to throw 900 men upon Gen. Banks
corps, and long, bloody and fuitless battle
was the consequence. jackson did not make
much by his motion. however, for our forces held
their ground and offered to renew the fight, but
the enemy had fallen back and was only heard
of again in the form OF a request for the prvi-
lege to bury bis dead. The battle was fought
by Gen. Banks alone, Gen. Sigel comingup Just
at dark, too late to take part IN the engagement.
Where Jackson's army is now stationed, or
which way it is moving, is as usual mystery.
