Fortress Monroe, Oct. O..
The steamboat Matamora arrived at Fort
Monroe thus morning from Alken's Landing,
by which We obtain Richmond papers of the
4th inst.
The Richmond Dispatch of the LIST inst.
gives an account of the case of Jas. M Low
inggood, an enrolled conscript, suing for his
liberty. 1t was tried before Judge L, W.
Thomas, Ebert County, Ga, in the superior
court, last week, and decision given liberia
ting the plaintiff from the hands of the
enrolling officer.
Federal army is north of the Potomac, NOV
ing up the Valley from Martinsburg and
Harper's Ferry, and that battle may be
expected at any time.
The yellow fever at Wilmington, N. c., is
not abating. On Monday there were As
new cases. Several doctors have been sent
from Charleston to their aid.
In the Virginia Legislature Mr.. Collier Of
Petersburg offered the following:
Whereas, A. Lincoln, President of the
United States, by his recent proclamation Is
acting in stolid contempt of the principles Of
property in slaves, which is no less constituted
in the federal constitution than in ours, and
is aiming by said proclamation to excite ser.
vile instruction in our midst,
Resolved, Therefore, that no person within
this State shall be held to have committed
any ofense against the criminal laws thereof
or shall be tried or imprisoned, or be required
to answer at any time for an act done in
driving from the State or putting to death
any person with or without arms who may be
found on our soil aiding in any way to give
effect to the iendish purposes Of said procla.
nation.
The Wing of Oct. says that the small
pox has broken out in the military hospitals in
Danville. The same paper says the fedora
pickets on the End were driven from Flat
Rock to Nashville.
The steamer Forlorn Hope was captured
by the rebels last Sunday.
1t is reported, says the Wing, that QUE
hundred and twenty five transports have
gone up the Potomac to Alexandria, and it is
supposed the purpose is to make another
move on Richmond by way of Fredericks-
burg, or some other route.
The Enquirer of the 4th says the fedora
forces are at Martinsburg, with their left ex
tending to Harper's Ferry. Gen Lee, witt
strong force, is rapidly moving toward
Martinsburg desperate battle is about t.
be fought. Gen Mcclellan cannot avoid al
engagement, unless he withdraws across the
river. This he cannot do, as the government
and the abolitionists are urging him forward
The Enquirer also says:
"The negro proclamation is causing some
commotion in the north, but the President.
universal martial law will probably quiet
| that"

Louisville, Oct. b.
On Saturday the rebels inaugurated
Richard Howes as governor of Kentucky, at
Frankfort, and Humphrey Marshall made a
bitter anti union speech. Kirby Smith and
Buckner were expected but did not come.
Sunday at P. M. the rebels cut one span
of the briege to South Frankfort, soon after
SCOTS cavalry departed.
The rebels took all the printing paper and
ink belonging to the state printer,
A great number Of rebels we're left at
Frankfort sick and the mortality among them
has been very great.
The enemy have not obtained more than
6tty recruits in Frankfort and Franklin
County.
Our informant met the federal pickets last
night at Hardingsville, pressing onward.
At Frankfort Messrs. Wistow & Gibson
were arrested three times because they would
not take confederate scrip for goods. Store
keepers were fined rs dollars per day fol
closing their stores. MIR. Macklin, the senior
of the firm of Ham, Notary, & Co., was com.
PEELED to take confederate scrip for large
quantity Of meat. John Watson & Co.,
manufacturers of jeans linsey and cottons
lost large stocks.
The rebels took away vast quantities o.
edibles of various kinds, leaving provisions
very scarce, and many necessaries of life un
attainable by the citizens.

The Richmond papers Of Saturday are
received.
The Examiner says Congress again indi'
Gates an adjournment, coincident with
feeling of depression and apprehension in the
public mind.
The general acquiescence IN the executive
management, right or wrong, has brought to
us its bitter fruits A close, vlgilant and firm
performance of congressional duties is as
much demanded by the public exigency as
mild and bold control of the army.
A resolution has been adopted in the rebel
senate for the appointment Of committee OF
IS to take testimony relative to the outrages
committed by the Yankees.
The evidence is to be collected and pre-
served in proper fern, in order that the truth
of history may be indicated and the perpe-
traitors Of the outrages delivered to the just
Indignation of the present and future gener-
atoms.

districts in this town last spring, under
the style of mission Sabbath Schools"
They have been held every week during
the summer in the different parishes, and
much good has been accomplished through
their influence and teachings. On Sun
day, the 2Sth inst, these schools in con-
nectien with the village schools, were all
convened in the Brick church. The ex-

concerned. Interesting remarks were
offered by Dr. Child, Rev. DR.. Hooker,
Dea. Samuel Cheever, Chester Spencer,

his departure for the field of hostilities
about a year ago, that we should expect

been given, and the soldier has gone to
his rest covered with glory. His funeral

and it was far from being a failure. A

OUR HOME CORRESPONDENCE.
Aeuer from Marshal BALDWIN.

Mr., EDITOR - NY attention has been
called to 2 brief article which appeared in the
Daily Herald, Yesterday morning, in which,
among other things il is stated that in his
charge 10 the Grand jury the Judge of the
Circuit Court " alluded to the course taken
by Marshal Baldwin, and said that for the first
time in the judicial history of Vermont, a
Grand Jury would be called upon to present a
citizen OF Vermont for attempting to obstruct
the due admlnlst alton of Justice" &C., and
that "Msrshal Baldwin being in contempt,
the duties Of his office are performed by
Sheriff Field" The article in the Herald
makes no allusion 10 matters of justification
upon which II rely in defence of my course.
| do not wish II 10 90 out to the people of the
State that | have willingly, or wilfully dis
obeyed the process of the Court. In what !
have done, in respect TO the arrest of the
three persons, Lyman, Barney and Field,
and the writ of Habeas Corpus, issued by
Judge Smalley, have acted in pursuance of
special instructions from the Secretary of
War, which instructions have heretofore been
published in your columns.
Being an officer OF the Government, ! have
no alternative but TO obey its orders, which
have thus far faithfully done, and which |
intend to do TO the end. And in so dong
intend no disrespect to the Court, On the
contrary, entertain for Judge Smaley the
highest esteem.
As to the assertion that " he duties of his
[myl office are performed by Sheriff Field"
allow me to say, that the duties pertaining
to the office Of Marshal of Vermont, are per-
formed by me, and that Mr.. Field is my
bailifi,, and acting under my orders.

The REBEL PLAN OF CAMPAIGN DIS
covERED.-The friends of the Union were
greatly mortified when the rebels got posses
sion of Gen Pope's papers. revealing the
military plans of the government. They
will now be glad to learn that the vicissitudes
of war have placed in our hands the rebel
General Lees plan of campaign, SO that we
stand about even with the rebels on that
score. The New York Post, after referring
to the adroit efforts OF the Richmond papers
to show that Gen Lee never intended to ac-
complish anything more than he has done
the demonstrations to the contrary being
mere feints-remarks:
Unfortunately for this theory of the cam
paign, it will hold no water. Lees army, as
the facts show, was dreadfully beaten both at
South Mountain and at Anhetam, and still
remains in a suffering and disor ganized con-
dihon. But what is worse for the boasts Of
the Richmond writers, is that our government
is in possession of correspondence which
passed between certain leaders of the resr, ;,
disclosing the whole plan of Lees campaign
and even marking it out with ink on the
| accompanying maps. What that plan was
as whole, we are not now at liberty to say
as it may affect other Interior operations Of
the war, but we can say, with the completes
assurance of its truth, that Lee was entir,'
disconnected by the vigorous opposit;> .
our army, and that bis scheme turps IN
utter failure" ID out

AN APPEAL OF THE REBELS TO THEIR
NORTHERN FRIENDs.-The speech made by
Foote of Tennessee, "hangman Foote," in
the Rebel House, in support of his peace res
olution, IS published. The movement was
evidently meant for effect abroad, to impress
the world with the magnanimity of the con-
federates, and for effect upon that portion of
the northern democracy that have not lost all
sympathy with their old allies. Mr.. Foote
makes this crafty appeal to all such:
i" If our proposition should be declined, and
there be any good men yet left in the North,
friends to justice, to the laws Of Christian
humanity, and the general happiness of the
world. they will at once make their spresence
known, organize and embody their energies
against an insolent and lbarbarous govern
ment, drive Lincolniand his myrmidons from
power, and elevate to the seat of official au-
thority wise and upright statesmen, through
whose efficient fundamentally this sanguin-
AIRY struggle may be at last brought to a
termination.

IMPORTANT FROM THE PENINSULA
Reports have been current for some days of
an important movement now going on in the
vicinity of Fortress Monroe, which may take
prominent place in the history of the war.
Recent reconnsisances, it is said by writer
at that point, have fully satisfied the gsvern-
ment that an advance upon Richmond from
this point is not only feasible, but eminently
proper. Maj Gen. John A. Dix, he says, has
succeeded in ousting nearly all OF the worth
less pro slavery officers who formerly infested
this point and Norfolk, and now, when we
are about to do something from here, we may
feel little more confident of success, as the
rebels will be minus their regular mail from
Norfolk.
The new Ironsides lies serenely at anchor
OF Newport News Some say she is to
ascend the river and wait the coming down
ofthe Young Merrimac, but this is hardly
probable, as the Monitor and Galena will be
ample to sink that craft, and are better fitted
for service in tortuous river like the James
1t seems more probable that she may accom-
Pany our troops, as they move up the south
Yshs OF mat river.
The railroad from Norfolk to Suffolk il
now in complete running order, and is being
made good use of at present to point grea
ways beyond, but what that place is it ma.
not now be proper to say.
