Early Monday morning they began again,
while Jackson attacked us in front. Their
shells did but little damage-they burst in the
air. No regiment of infantry was engaged on
Monday. the day of the surrender, which took
place at o'clock in the morning. The night
before there had been lively skrmish in
which the 32d Ohio lost two hundred men,
The cannonading was very heavy Monday
morning. The ragged men who entered Har-
per's Ferry had the appearance OF a band Of
brigands One must not judge by appearan-
ces Their officers confessed having lost over
500 men, and am inclined to believeit. They
treated us very well.

FROM LEESBURG.

hUM LGES5UhT.
Reports reaching here from Leesburg, Vir-
gina, state that the roads from that place to
this city were yesterday in miserable condi-
ton, occasioned by the storm which has pre-
vailed all this week.
The bridge over Difficult creek some dis
tance this side Of Drainesville, known as Acct
dent creek, was some time ago destroyed by
the army, and parties travelling this way were
compelled to swim their horses over the stream
great height by the recent heavy rains.
The Federal pickets are il full force along
this whole route
The Confederate cavalry are said to be
lowering about Leesburg, under Stuart and
White.
1t is evident that the roads in those localities
where the army now IS, are III such a condition
as must greatly retard the movements OF the
troops.
The streams being too much swollen to ford
Will also add to the hardness of army move
ments. Washugton Chronicle.
THE WAR IN THE SoUTH AND WEST BE
tween twenty-five and thirty thousand
troops, it is stated, have passed down the river
within the last two weeks to Memphis and He
ena-most Of them to the former 1t is un-
derstood that Gen. Sherman, at present in
Memphis, will cooperate with Gen. Grant
now moving against the Confederates in Mis-
sissippi.
The latest advices from Gen Grant army
at Holly Springs are to the effect that halt
has been made there, and that hospitals are be-
ing prepared and large quantities Of forage col
ected, as though it was intended to make it the
base Corporations.
Skirmishes have recently occurred near Nash
Vile but with unimportant results. At Rural
Hill four Confederates were killed and four
Federal troops captured It's stated that the
Confederates still eyince a disposition TO fight
at Tallahoma.
Advices from Arkansas report that The Con
federates, fifteen thousand strong, recently ad-
vanced to Boston Mountain, tor the purpose, 1t
was believed, Of giving battle, but as soon as
Gen. Blunt at the head of the Federal forces,
had made preparations to meet then they with
drew.
Gen. Mcclellan s speech t. the crowd which
assembled at his lodgings, when he arrived at
n. York, was brief, and general in its terms:
only referring to and complimenting the troops
he lately commanded.

! ment that the Federal army had occupied Fred
ckslurs was premature The Coniederate:
Still held possession Of the place yesterday with
a force to dispute the passage cf the river. Il
| is believed that it Is not the intention Of the
| Federal commanders to cross the river imnf,-
| diately. General Burnside arrived at Fal-
| mouth, opposite fredericksburg on Wednes-
day. and established his headquarters there.
The Confederates, 1t appears, have closely fol-
lowed the Federal army III its movement from
Warrenton to Falmouth, and now occupy the
| country between the two points; even penetra
ting as far down as the vicinity Of Aqua creek.
A considerable body is also in the country
around Leesburg 4 company oi' Confederate

faderates appeared, and some shots were ex-
changed

At the office Of the Chesapeake and Oi,io

the same number of populations,
amongst whom the sovereignty is d.
vided according to the theory of the
South Carolina States Rights school,
have e's to he first consulted and made
to agree harlnoniously, while any one
is at liberty to fly off at a tangent, a
very inconvenient and perplexing sit
uation of affairs might arise at time
when it would be most unfortunate for
the interests of all.
Great as are the blessings of peace,
war, too, has its uses. 1t is through
this great agent in the fulilment Of
the divine purposes that the destinles
of the race have been best advanced.
A revolution may accomplish in a sin
gle year, what would, without it, re-
qnire the slow developement Of cen,
turies. If this war, now pending,
shall solve the vexed question of State
Rights and National Sovereignty, it
will not be the first time that a tan.
gled knot has been sundered by the
sword.
The majesty of this great Empire of
the People must hencetorth be respect
ed by all its citizens; and no offences
against it must be tolerated, whether
in word or act. The essential maxins
upon which the Government is based,
shouldnot be allowed to be questioned,
or assailed. If it was treason in the
medieval monarchies to whisper a
word derogatory to the person of the
king, and if, even now, there sis no
government, whether despotic or con-
stitutional, but what in measiMe re-
strains the freedom Of speech amongst
its subjects, certainly a nation Ike
this, intruSted with SO high u mission,
and upon whose permanence the hopes
Of humanity depend so largely, should
not suffer its dignity to be insultcd or
its paramount authority to be under
mined.
For all the future of our history,
America is one nation, bound in in
innate and ndisSoluble union; and the
Republic is the only State.

t Boston, Scpt. 20, 1862.
Eitor -ProgrcSs---Dear SIR ,--Busi-
ness in this city, as general thing, is
of course, somewhat dull; yet in many
departments Of trade, there is consid-
cradle activity. Many new buildings
are in process OF erection, and, in fact,
there is much else that | might men
ton, which goes very far to prove
that the predictions Of leading rebels
and their sympathisers-as to the ef-
feet of the war on Northern cities
were simply false.
We can inform those excellent and
kind hearted people that Yankee enter
prise has not, neither can it be crushed
out, and furthermore, we can assure
them that Yankee energy and deter
minaton will overthrow their Internal
schemes and restore the distracted
country TO its righttul position among
the nations of the earth. Their dar-
ling scheme of two Republics on this
Continent, either for their own graft
tcation or that of John Bull, whose
friendship for the South is notorious,
and whose flag, to his eternal infamy,
is the only one that has ever ventured
to run the blockade.
Little Macs" success in driving
the dirty, horde Of wretches who
compose the rebel army from "My
Maryland" is the theme of every
tongues" he is evidently "the right
man in the right place." and we may
venture to predict with safety, that
before stern winter sets his seal upon
us, jeff. Davis and his blackguard CO.
adjutors will have sought the protec-
tion Of either England or France.
Yours Truly,
BosroN.
