An Incident of the Battle at Winches-
ter, Virginia.

The correspondent of the Richmond
Enquirer says that at the battle of Win
chester one of our regiments and six Yam
kec regiments were striving to gain
stone fence, as a kind of fertilization
from which to assail each other. 1t is
said they would have reached the stone
fence about the same time, but the Yam
KEGS, not liking such close quarters,
turned to run, when our boys fred upon
them, and hundreds of them fell; and
after that, regiment after regiment was
brought up and repulsed from the same
position. | think the regiment on our
side which accomplished this feat was
Col. Fulkerson's.
After the battle was over, committee
was raised in Winchester to bury our
dead and gentleman now here who as
sisted in the matter, says that they buried
81 bodies, which is the number of our
killed and those that died from THEN
wounds before assistance could be giver
them. A lady who arrived here from
Winchester, since the battle says that the
enemy carried over 800 dead bodies
through Winchester, which, Of course,
were the most distinguished of those who
fell, and did not include their common
Dutch soldiers, large numbers of whom
were doubtless buried where they fell.
! learn also to-day that General Shields
admits loss of 1900 in the battle and
bis skrmishes with Ashby. This terri
Bile chastisement is said to have utterly
frustrated and COMPOUNDED the Yankees.
They are extremely cautious in their
movements since.

Captain John II. Morgan, Again.
From the Atlanta (Ga. Confederacy.

~'N~'J C~''t~NNfs~~J
On Sunday, the 10th ult., Captain
Morgan. with 40 of his men, suddenly
appeared at Gallatin, Tenn, % miles
the other side of Nashville. After catch
ing all The onion men in the place, and
eontining them in guardhouse, Captain
Morgan, dressed in Union uniform,
proceeded to the telegraph Office at the
depot, short distance from the town.
Entering the office, the following CONVEX
sation took place between Capt. Morgan
and the telegraph operator, a clustering
elbow:
Capt. Morgan-.Good day, sir. What
icws haze you Y
Operator Nothing, sir, exccyt it's
reported that that id Rebel, Captain
John Morgan, is this side of the Cum
berland with some of his cavalry. | wish
! could get a sight of the id rascal,
Ia make hole through him larger than
he would find pleasant"
While thussp speaking the operator drew
fine navy revolver and nonrished it as
if to satisfy his visitor how desperately
he would use the instrument in case he
should meet with the famous Captain.
Do you know who am 2" quietly
remarked Capt. Morgan, continuing tho
conversation.
81 have not that pleasure" remarked
the operator.
Well, Tam Capt Morgan, . respond
ed that gentleman.
AT these words the operators checks
blanched, his knees shook, the revolver
dropped from his hands, and he sunk to
the floor. lie literally "wiltcd."
After the frightened individual had
recovered himself sufficiently, Captain
Morgan required him to telegraph some
message to Louisville, among others one
to Prentice, Of the journal, politely Of
fering to act as his escort on his proposed
visit to Nashville. Then taking the OPP
orator with him as prisoner, Captain
Morgan and his men awaited the arrival
Of the train from Bowling Green for
Nashville.
In due time the train came laundering
in. Capt. Morgan at once seized it, and
taking five Union officers who were pas
sengers and the engineer of the train
prisoners. he burned to cinders all of the
cars with their contents, and then filing
the locomotive with turpentine, shut
down oil the valves, and started it to-
wards Nashville. Before it had run eight
hundred yards the accumulation of steam
caused it to explode, shivering it into a
thousand fragments. Capt. Morgan then
started southwark with his prisoners, and
made lis way safely to the Confederate
camp.

Sketch of Gen. A. Sidney Johnston.

SAclcH OF Ten. a. Sidncy johnston.
General Albert Sydney Johnston, who
is reported to have been killed during
the fight on Sunday, was the senior gem
eral of the Confederate service. He was
born in Macon county, Kentucky. in
1903, and consequently fifty eight years
Of age. After the usual school train
ing, young Johnston was educated at the
Military Academy at West Point On
graduating he entered the Sixth infantry,
and was ordered to the West. During
the Black Hawk war, be acted as Adiu-
tant General At the close of the war,
he resigned his commission, and resided
first in Missouri, next in Texas. War
breaking out in the latter State, he en-
tered the Texan army as a private, and
rose to high distinction. lie afterwards
filed the post of Secretary of War. On
the annexation of Texas to the United
States, Johnston raised partisan troop,
which he commanded, and accompanied
General Taylor to Monterey. At the
close of the Mexican war, he returned to
his plantation, but, being in embarrassed
circumstances, he accepted the post of
paymaster in the army. Under Presi-
dent Pierce, Mr. Jefferson Davis, then
Secretary Of War, made Johnston Col
onel of the Second cavalry, and he sub
sequently received the command of the
Southwestern military district. At the
outbreak Of the war with Utah, he was
chosen to command the expedition which
crossed the Plains. He continued to ill
that post until the war took place. Last
fall, Gen. Johnston was put in command
Of the Confederate soldiers in the DEPART
ment of Kentucky and Missouri, and
invested with plenipotentiary authority
to control all the military operations in
the West. His Kentucky nativity, and
his thorough knowledge Of the Western
country, coupled with his great ability,
rendered him an especially appropriate
selection to the important position.
Gen. Johnston is six feet one inch
high; of large, bony, sinewy frame, quiet
and unassuming manhers, all conspiring
to form person Of remarkably imposing
and attractive address. After the battle
of Fort Donelson, he was greatly CEN
sured by number of persons in the
South for not reinforcing that fort; but
his friends contended that he offered to
do so, but Pillow and Floyd said that
they did not want any more troops. -
Generals Beauregard and Bragg were
Immediately sent to the West to co ope-
rate with Johnston. No doubt General
Johnston had chief control of the army
that attacked Gen. Grant, but, after bis
fall, the command fell on Beauregard (
Gen. Johnston's brother, Stoddart John
ston, was blown up, several years ago,
on steamboat on the Red river, Louis |

Senator from Louisiana, and, some time
previously, acted as second for Mr.. Clay,

AFFECTION. We sometimes meet with
men who seem to think that any indu-
gence Of afIectionatc feeling is weakness.
They will return from a journey, and
greet their families with distant dig
nifty, and move among their children
with the cold and lofty splendor Of al
iceberg, surrounded with its broken frag-
ments. There is hardly more unnat-
ural sight on earth than one Of those
families without heart. A father had
better extinguish his boys eyes than to
take away bis heart. Who that has OK
perienced the Joys Of friendship, and value
sympathy and affection, would not rather
lose all that is beautiful in natures
scenery, than be robbed Of the hidden
treasure Of his heart? Who would not
rather follow his child TO the grave than
to entomb his parental affection? Cher
ish, then, your hearts best Affections
Indulge in the warm and gushing emo
tons Of fraternal love. Think IL not
weakness. Teach your children to love,
to love the rose, the robin; TO love their
parents, their God. Let it be tho stu
died object Of their domestic culture TO
give them warm hearts, ardent affections.
Bind your whole family together by these
strong cords. You cannot make them
too strong.

Another Specimen.

Our Republican neighbor is striving very hard
to convince itself that the Democracy carried the
recent election in this State by frauds Or else it
seeks this pretense to let its party easily down
from its overwhelming defeat. Here is one of its
specimens. In its issue of yesterday it says:
Brown county in 1860 gave Lane for Governor
296, and Hendricks 744, total vote of GAO.
Since then it has sent 4S6 volunteers to the war,
of whom 400 at least are voters. In 1862 it gives
Dunn 300, and Harrington $751; A total vote of
,O45, Just FIVE more votes than were cast two
years ago. though 400 voters have gone away
deficit of 400 votes is made good in two years.
Howf By natural increased No.
Now for another specimen. Lake County in
1860 gave l.096 votes for LANE, and $40 for
HENDRICKS, making a total of 1888. Since then
she has sent $50 volunteers to the war, of whom
at least 500 are voters. In 1862 she gives CoLFAx
1,0s6. and TuKPIE $50 II total vote OF ,645,
just nine more votes than were cast two years
ago, though 500 voters have gone away. A de-
felt of 500 votes made good in two years.
Here is another. Jasper county in 1860 cast
sos votes for Lane, and for Hendricks 275--to-
tai, 500 She has sent 439 volunteers to the war,
of whom at least 375 are voters. In 1862 she
gives CoLFAx SAT and TuRPIE 2S8, total vote
of S35. just thirty-two more votes than she gave
two years before notwithstanding she has sent
375 voters away. A deficit of 375 voters made
more than good in two years.
Whence comes this increase of vote? Jasper
and Lake are rural counties. without commercial
towns, and the natural Increase is very slow, but
both give larger votes than in 1860, notwith
standing the large number of voters who have
left them. In both counties CoLFAx has the
majority given to the Republican candidates in
1860. when it is known that there was in both a
great revolution in public sentiment. The U. q.
which exist in CoLFAxs district can tell the story
So can the Republican election judges.
The learned pig of the Journal can phioso
phize upon those specimens. and advise us how
these new voters got into Lake and Jasper.

A CONTEMPLATED Fraud.

A conversation that occurred Yesterday in one
of the hotels OF this city, between an abolition
editor PRESIDENT here) and prominent official in
one of our county Offices disclosed one of the
plans by which Mr.. Isaac N. Arnold hopes to Sc
cure his return TO Congress.
Republican soldiers are to vote but the Irish
Legion, now in Camp Douglas are to be remov-
agreed upon by the two worthless mentioned
above. We will see how far the Federal and
State officials will lend themselves to the accom-
plishu ent of the intended fraud If the Irish Lee
eion is removed before election, and regiments
whose voters are permitted to remain and vote,
will prove the collision of those high in author
ity with tricksters in this county who are endeav-
oring to cheat soldiers out Of the privileges of
electors.
The vote of the soldiers of Iowa is receiving
daily explanation. Ii was procured by fraud and
oppression by stealing Democratic tickets aud
burning them by refusing to let the soldiers
have Republican tickets to change by inserting
the names of Democratic candidates, and erasng
those of the Republicans; by refusing Democra
tic soldiers pens aud ink to write with, and re.
jecting tickets which bad been altered with a
pencil by neglectDg to hold elections in Demo-
cratic regiments, and making false and fraudu-
lent returns.
These we're some of the villainies practiced
upon Iowa soldiers by Abolition officials yet
Abolition Journals have the effrontery to point to
the Iowa vote in the army, and claim it as fair
expression Of political opinion among thesoldiers
IL Democratic regiments are removed from Camp
Douglas, aud vote taken among the remaining
soldiers the result will be heralded to The coun-
try by the Abolition press as another evidence of
the predomnance of Republicanism in the army
