FROM SUFFoLK.-We have adyices from
Suffolk as late as Saturday last. The enc
my have again been heavily reinforced. and
seem to be IN constant dread Of an attack
from the Contederates. It is stated that
they have moved a force Of 1900 to Chnck-
atuck, and also occupy Barbour's Cross
aoaos, Isle OF Wight, with q small force

ing now 1t is supposed, at least zoo 0 men
we also learn that they have sent 10 600
men to Windsor station, on the n. & p rail.
road, II miles this side Of Suffolk. They
nave narrowed the guage Of the railroad fonr
inches from Norfolk to Zuni station. 7 miles
TINS side OF Windsor, and II. miles from tha
point to which the track has been torn IN nv
our people, and from which it is more or less
obstructed to Petersburg.
We would respectfully suggest to the GOV.
eminent to have a force sent Gown to Wind
sor sumclent To capture me Yankee column
there and also that at Suffolk. They are
mostly composed, doubtless, ofTaw recruits
lately drafted, and could be basgad by half
the number Of Confederates. Tley Should
not De suffered to repose there a day longer
than they can be reached by our arms. Now
IS a good opportunity to break up this nest
OF 'andals. The game that it is playing is,
we think, to accumulate gradually at those
points a strong force from the new leyies
and drill them for further operations at a
futlre day. This game should by all means
De blocked and the interior scheme be nipped
IN the bad. That scheme is, we take it, to at.
tack Richmond via Petersburg as soon as they
can collect and prepare, in the way they are
doing, a large force at Suffolk under the
Northsrn draft, which they can do unless
prevented by speedy and vigorous countsr-
active measures by our Government.

STATE EDUCATIONAL AssoC1AT1oN.-It will
be seen, by the notice given by the Commit
tee 1n- onn pAPor OF to day, that the next
meeting of the State Educational Association
wiz be held in Ll%ncolnton, on Tuesday the
18th of October.
We trust that the friends of education
Will generally attend this meeting. It is
NOR e important now than heretofore that
our educational institutions should be fos.
tered and encouraged. War is naturall,
and necessarily demoralizing in it's nature
Learning as well as law is too apt to be neg
iected amid the clash of arms. Our people
have 1T in their power to do their full part
IN prosecuting the war, and at same time
10 maintain and promote educational and
industria al interests.

diorioas and inspiring as are these repeat
% successes and triumphs, vet they have
baen achieved at the loss Of hundreds and
thousands Of our brave nen, and soma of our
NEST skillful and heroic leaders. Among the
latter IS our ~fellow-oitizen, Brig. Gen. Law
renee OBrien Branch, who fell at the head
OF his brigade, leading them 10 victory. ia
the battle of the 18th. A ball entered his
heas, killing him instantly. Gen. Branch
has done some as hard fighting as any Brig
adler in the service during this war, and
proved himself competent to every emergen-
cy in which he has been placed.
Besides Gen. Branch, Gen. Stark of Mis-
Sissippi, another brave and intrepid officer.
was also killed. Gems. r. II. Anderson, Of
5. c.; Wright of Ga. Ransom of N. G..
Lawton, Armstead, Ripley and Col. Cum
mlngs are wounded, and many others of our
Keglmental and Company officers we fear we
to be added to the list of killed and wounded.
Among the Yankse officers killed are Ma
Jor Generals Reno, Mansfield, Miles and 9TH
ers; while Brig. Gen. Hartsuf and Max Web
or were dangerously if not MORALLY u
ded. Indeed the yankee accounts themselves
say, 1.-The loss of general and field officers
in our army are SO large as to be unaccoun-
table"
Our loss in rank and file is said to be some
nx or six thousand in killed, wounded and
missing-but as the enemy claims to have
taken four thousand prisoners, it is to be
hopea It is true, and that the large proper
ton Of our loss is among the prisoners.
The yankees admit a loss Of ten thousand
but judging from their lying heretofore, we
reasonably conclude their loss at three or
four times that number.
The losses of the enemy within a fortnight
may thus be stated AT Harper's Ferry IL
600; at sharpsburgh, estimated, 20, 600 at
5heperdstown-10 600; at Munfordsyille 5000.
In all, $500.
