Philadelphia and New York merchants
have petitioned Congress for resumption
Of letter and newspaper mail to Panama.

the old mail. At present there will be
no mail communication with Central

lively decline TO convey letters or news

The testimony of returned prisoners
captured in July At Falling Water before

show that with more energy Patterson
might have caught Johnston before Bull

Somebody has, in times past, and per-
haps on similar occasion, said, snow is
the winter of our discomfort" and the
same sage individual, | believe, made
some remarks, by way Of a warning, to
-"beware the ides of March" These cir.
camstances have led me to the conclusion
that that individual, whoever be was, be-
longed to volunteer regiment, and
though his bosom swelled with patriotism
and desire to distinguish himself by
seeking the bubble reputation at the can
mons mouth. and although like the war
steed he snuffed the battle afar of, yet all
around him was provokingly quiet, and
the enemy--if any there was in his neigh
borhood-were SIMULTANEOUSLY and IN
generously" non combatant. have been
led to these reflections from the fact that
while almost every gale bears upon it,
wings tidings of battle fought and glorious
victories won upon the tented field, in
which our brethren Of Iowa have beer
permitted to share and bear noble and
gallant part. here We are, wasting the
precious moments, big with glorioui
events, in the dull monotony Of camp life
and guarding Missouri town and Mis-
sour railroad, while Missouri soldiers ar,

ours. It may be all right, but if it il,
confess / cant see the point. But
won't scold, much less blame any superio
officer, for that would be unmilitary, an,

friendly treatment forced to resign"
The dull monotony Of camp was las
night disturbed by an event 1t was il
this wise: A young lady, citizen Of thi
place, after an acquaintance Of few day
with gallant officer in our regiment,

Last night squadron Of the 1st Mich
igan cavalry advanced as far as Perryvillc
on the Winchester turnpike, aud Ambushed
and surprised, party Of rebel cavalry, dis
abling three of them, and routing the lot.
The Michigan party returned with nine
rebel cavalry horses, fully equipped, as
trophies, among them the celebreted black
stallion ridden by Col Ashley, without
the loss Of man. The amount of forage
and provisions captured BY our right wing
sincs the advance into Virginia. 10 ssti-
mated to be worth twenty thousand dol
lars. This includes four thousand pounds
Of bacon, stored for the use Of the rebel
army. Leetown and Lovettsville are now
among the places held for the Union
Up to this time the success Of the move
ment on the upper Potomac has been
complete.
Gen. Shields passed through Charles
town on his way west last night.
eAdvices from the lower Potomac state
that the rebels are undoubtedly concen-
trating larg. force in that direction op-
posite to the position Of Gen. Hooker's
division. There is reason to believe also
that the rebel army Of the Potomac has
been greatly augmented since the recent
Union victories in the West. They have
here their strongest defensive works and
the flower Of their army. Their defeat
here will close up the rebellion and leave
nothing to be done by the Union forces
except to move forward and occupy the
seeded States and afford protection to
the Union men there until they can Or
ganize new State governments under aus
pices of loyalty.

large; fully Eve hundred delegates we're

to nominate candidates for State Offices at

Of the position Of the Democracy OF Mich

support the Government in oil Constitu-
tional measures to suppress the rebellion,
and opposing the termination Of the war
until all resistance to Government under
the Constitution everywhere ceases. Alb
olitionism is strongly denounced as equal
~ guilty with Southern secessionism, and
the speedy extinguishment Of bothis hoped
for; approving modification Of Fremont's
proclamation, Cameron's report, and APP
pointment of present Sec'r of War as ju-
dicious, that the President will adhere to
