Frederick ReCavtirPd,

The rebels were compelled To leave
Frederick. Nd, as fast MS they entered it.
A dispatch to the Associated Press. dated
Frederick. Sep. II says
Frederick l. uurs, cur forces entered
the east end OF the town Yesterday after
noon. An hour later our cavalry force,
under p~!easonton. entered u the Mar
ket street turnpike. The main body Of
the rebels evacuated the city on Thur
day.
4 few cavalry from Sturt's command
/ and the Hampton Legion. made a charge
on our troops when they entered. The
enemy were speedily repulsed. Dan loss
was two killed and wounded. The rebels
auifered To that extent at least.
The reception Of u troops wa OF the
most enthusiastic character by the entire
city. The ovetioyed people turned out
en- masse. The rebel force IS represented
to lie I25. 600 strong. The citizens OF
Frederick suffered much from the incur
| sion, including the loss Of domestic sup
plies, The rebels left Frederick with the
intention of invading Pennsylvania
Subsequent events indicate that they vii
endeavor TO retreat into Virginia VI;
| Williamsport.
$50 rebel sick left at Frederick, were
paroled. Yesterday afternoon the Stt
Illinois cavalry charged on two rebel regi
ments and three guns. a short distance
above Middletown, on the road to Hager-
town. We had three men wounded an
took forty prisoners.

From Western Virginia.

GALLIPoLIs, Sept. II.
On Wednesday + column of the enemy
$500 strong, said TO be under Gen. Loring,
the first notice Of whom was in Qua rear
between Fayette and Gauley, made an
attack on our forces encamped at FayeIte,
consisting of the 34th and 31th Ohio regi-
ments, numbering about 200 men under
command of Colonel Siber, when @ des-
perate fight took place lasting till dark.
Our forces cut their way through, reaching
Gauley during the night, having lost about
one hundaed killed and wounded.
Under these circumstances, Colonel
Lightburn's front, flank and rear being
threatened by an overwhelming force,
compelled him to evacuate Gauley, which
he successfully accomplished ON the
morning of the eleventh, after destroying
all the Government property he was una
bic TO carry away. He accordingly moved
down the Kanawha in two columns, one
on each side of the river, reaching Camp
Piatt on the afternoon OF the twelfth,
skirmishing the whole way. Here he
massed his troops on the north bank OF
the Kanawha, but being hard pressed by
the enemy he retreated during the night,
reaching the Elk river, Just below Charles
ton, ON Thursday morning. He made
; another stand on the lower bank OF the
Elk river. and a desperate battle ensued,
lasting from ten 4. N. till dusk.
Our forces shelled and destroyed
Charleston, two houses only being left.
The result of the fight is unknown, moth.
ing having been heard from Colonel Light
burn since six O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
Up to that time pun troops held THEN
ground and were Furnishing the enemy
severely.
We understand that our troops com
pleteiy destroyed all the Salt Works.
Colonel Lightburn brought an immense
train of Gao loaded wagons safely to Elk
river. The retreat to Elk River was con.
Quoted in good order.
Great anxiety Is felt for the safety oil
our forces, as well as Of Point Pleasant
and Gallipolis.
The military are iocking here from thi:
and adjoining counties. This border is
in great danger. The enemies force is
reported as being 1000 with a proportion,
! ate force of artillery.

The Draft

w are not Of those who have felt any
great horror at the idea of drafting, to
fill up the number of soldiers for the ar
my. 1t is just as certainly the duty of
every abie-bodied citizen to defend his
country when it is in danger, and the law
is just as obligatory on him to do so when
his services are needed, as it is to pay his
taxes which are levied upon him, and
whether he goes of his own free will as a
volunteer, O sadraftedm man, in obedience
to the laws, is not of SO very much conse-
quence as it might at FIRST thought seem
TO be. If it is necessary in order TO fill
up the ranks, that a draft be resorted to.
by all means let the draft come. But
great care should be taken that every To-
cality, be it state, county, township or
ward, after it has furnished its quota of
men, should not be called upon TO make
up the deficiencies of other and less pat
riotic localities. We cannot say that such
has been the case, but we must say there
is some strange figuring somewhere.
We have not, before us, the returns of
the census of 1860, but it IS our belief
that the population of Trumbun county,
is just about the average population of
each of the counties of the States. some
of the counties have more, and some Of
them less than this county. but the pop
ulation of Trumbull county we believe TO
be very near the average of each. The
soldiers demanded from Ohio. up TO this
time, mot including the three months
men, IS, in round numbers-l3I, 900
There were then in the service, before
the late calls,-74,GG0, and the last calls
were for $1,000 men. Up 10 the first OF
September, Trumbul county had sent
2,034 volunteers, and the present call,
tsee Gov. Tod's letter to Commissioner
jones' is for 46l. This gives a total for
Trumbull county, of 2.495 men. There
arc IS counties in Ohio, and if the popu-
lation of this county be about the aver
age of the others, and each one
should furnish 2495 men, it would give,
from Ohio, 2l9,5G0 men. Instead Of this
number, the quota is, as before stated,
only l3l,0o0. Where is the trouble?
