the rebels in front of Richmond. a
late letter says: ..., -,....e, -, ,,n,.
Speaking of California Joe, I must
here be pardoned a disgression in sta:
ting fact about him that never ye,
has found its way into type ~ Bachelo,
that he is, and rough of exterior, nhe
has heart as big as. anr OK, s"rudely
stamped and wanting loves, majesty
Shortly after joining the, regiment he
drew up bis will, giving, in case 8,
his death in battle, $50, o,ooo-on de:
post in the Merchants Bank, t[Phila.

Of those of the regiment killed during
the war. I was told this fact by al
officer of the regiment who witnessed
the will. g. ..f 49,, ..~~ ~..sr
And here is an incident OF. which he
is the hero our General was toda,
near one of the brigades, giving 'di
rections about the work. A rebe
sharpshooter had been amusing him
self and annoying the general and
other officers by firing several times in
that direction, and sending the bullets
whistlipg in unwelcomee proximity to
sMy man, can't You get your piece
on that fellow who is firing on US, and
stop his impertinence ?" asked the
General, @'*..,...@' " "'1,'.'3@ 2''7

SPECIAL Dispatch to the Journal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. u. The cordial en-

the Convention Of Governors adds to its popu..
jarity. Gen. McCcrnard, who is regarded as
the leader of the Douglas Democrats, cordially
endorses it.
A yet unpublished letter from Robert Dale
Owen was laid before the President just be-
fore the proclamation appeared, which gave
stronger and more urgent reason for its issue
than those previously advanced in his published
letter, based on European Intervention.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 27.-230 A. M
Forneys Press ha the following special dis
patch:
BALTIMORE, Sept %. Passengers from Nor
folk and Fortress Monroe report that important
army movements have been progressing IN that
vicinity for some days past division under
an able fighting General marched off from
Suffolk day or two since, 10 the direction OF
Blackwater X. bridge, u hopes OF meeting
and capturing the rebel vanguard supposed 10
be advancing upon Norfolk down the Otage
and railroad. Blackwator bridge having been
reached no enemy was found, but the contra
bands report that the news of our movements
had reached headquarters and great move
ment Of rebel troops was reported between Rich
mond and Petersburg. 1t Is not thought proba
bic that this Federal expedition will march on
New Market, unless reinforced first
New YORK, Sept. q. Advices from New
Orleans give an order by Gen. Butler requiring
each neutral foreign resident in the Department
to report to the nearest Provost Marshal Tor
registration of himself and family.
The order SAYS in the course OF ten days it
might become necessary to distinguish dlsloyal
families from loyal citizens and honest, neu raj
foreigners All false simulated claims of
toreig n allegiance Gen. Butler threatens to
punish severely.
The Times Washington correspondent says
the rebels had information of our intended cap
ture of Leesburgh, on trains, and posted four
brigades Oh the West side of Ashbys Gap, in
such manner as would annlhiate our force
had it been attempted.
Winchester is being strongly fortified, all
negroes in the nelghborhood being impressed for
the purpose
The rebels are apprehensive that their com
munication and supplies will be cut cut of by
movement from Washi' gton on Gordonsvlle.
Longstreet is so severely wounded in the
shoulder by piece of shell, that 1t is feared
amputation will be necessary.
All the public buildings and most of the pri-
vate residences in Winchester are used as hospi-
tails About 5000 are there and large num-
Der were sent further down the valley.
