LEEsBURG, VA, March S.-Col Geary has ta-
ken Leesburg, and driven Gen. Hill with his
whole rebel command from the town and sur
rounding forts. The s'Stars and Stripes" now
wave over the enemy's works.
Gen. Hills army fell back towards ATiddleburg
Last night Col. Geary left Lorettsyie with his
command, and marched through Wheatland and
Waterford, taking prisoners at both places and
putting the scattered forces of the enemy to flight
Shortly after sunrise this morning he took poss-
ession of Fort Johnson, which was renamed by
the officers ''Fort Geary." He then entered
the town with flags flying and bayonets fixed.
The rear of the rebel troops, who had thought
this one of their greatest strongholds, could be
discerned through glass retreating.
The command took many prisoners and stores,
and are in possession of the bank, post-otfice
and public buildings Forts Beauregard and f.
vans were also taken.
This brilliant achievement by well timed
blow and skillful movement, is of vast impor-
tance.
The command IS well and in good spirits. A
detachment of the First Michigan Cavalry did
much service under Col. Gealy in this move
ment.

Mann and Mr.. j. NJ. Shoemaker in their stead.
The Democratic ticket for School Directors,

CAMP PATTERSON, March i. 1862
Mr.. EDITOR:

NIX EDITOR:
To relieve the rnonotony of camp life con-
sequent upon the incemencies OF the weather,
your humble correspondent taketh his pen in
hand to commit some unimportant news to pa
per, hoping it may prove interesting to your
readers, especially those that know little, or
nothing, about the hardshipS Of a soldiers life,
OF which, however, do not complain, asst is the
lot of soldiers to be exposedto the inclemencies
of the weather The weathcrf for the last few
days has been anything but agreeable. With
the exception Of Sunday last, the sun has not
cheered us with his presence Except an hour or
two a day) for almost week. March. too. is
it seems), determined to keep up her'reputation
as stormy month as the recent high winds
testify. Last night set in dark and rainy. A.
bout seven o'clock there was lightning accompa-
MED by thunder, and, by nine O'Clock, the rain
commenced coming down in torrents and the
wind blew a perfect hurricane. Such a rain
and wind l have not seen since came here,
and there was almost Egyptian darkness.
The wind stretched several tents on the ground
chasing the poor fellows out in the rain; but
the tent occupied by your humble correspon-
dent, stood the storm bravely. On waking up
however he found his head and feet both in
water, which you may be sure was not very a.
greeable.
Our canvass tents will turn a common rain,
but that last night, was an uncommon one. 1t
came in spiashes and surgcs and sifted thro'
with all ease. The poor soldiers on guard last
night, were the most pitiable looking objects i'm
aginable.
We have an occasional incident on guard
that helps TO pass the weary hours away and
Gghtens our cares for while. One will
suffice. A few nights ago the officers going the
rounds were suddenly stopped by burly Dutch
man who cried out ''ELalt! who comsh dare p
'Grand rounds with the countersign," was the
reply ''Grant rounts to-What do they want

There are great many # )lying reports cir
culatcd through the Regiment, with regard to
Its ultimate destination, but only one that has
obtained any credence whatever, and that is
that we viii leave here shortly and move 10 the
seat of War. This is pretty generally believ-
ed here and seems plausible.
The health of the Regiment still continues
good. So does the health of the Bedford Coun

Mr.. MEYERS Sir:

Mr.. MEYERS Sir:
Enclosed, / send you one
dollar and fifty cents, for copy Of the Gazette
There are few county papers that have with
stood the contest during the present calamitons
situation of our country with the same zeal and
courage as the Gazette Of old Bedford
There are few Democrats yet in our part
of the county that have not defiled their gar
mcnts with nor bowed the knee to Abolition
ism.
Democrats in this part of the county are be-
ginning to see that the title is honorable, and
that TO secure the prosperity and general well
fare of the country, it is absolutely necessary
that the organization should be respected and
upheld.
The Democrats inthis township, though few
in number, hold bravely On their course and
mean to become worthy Of the appellation,
''unterriied," applied to the faithful in days
past, and, in the firm belief of the rectitude of
our cause, intend to remain firm to the organi-
zation of the party.
God grant that the cloud that covers the g.
trocious crimes of those engaged in speculatons
upon the Government funds, and, those engag-
ed in robbing, as it were, the public Treasury
be removed and that the people may be con-
vinced that the cause of the Democratic party
should be the cherished cause Of every true A
merican citizen

%, E, Shannon, ESQ,

On Saturday night last, the Democrats of
Bedford Borough nominated the above named
gentleman, in connexion with Messrs. Geo Bly,
mire, S. L. Russell and John Taylor as candi-
dates for the Office of School Director. Messrs.
Russell and Taylor are Republicans. On Mon
day night following the ''Republicans'' held a
caucus and nominated Messrs. s. L. Russell.
John Taylor, S. II. Tate and Geo Blvmire
for the same Office, throwing overheard Mr.
Shannon, because as was alleged by several of
the leaders, heis ''disloyal !" The refusal of the
Republicans" to accept 6Ir. Shannon, after the
Democrats had gone so far as to nominate two
of the most strenuous and uncompromsing ssRe-
puhlicans," is an outrage upon the Democracy
of Bedford, which cannot be overlooked or ex-
cursed. Mr.. Shannon is a reputable, upright,
law-abiding, Constitution loving citizen, and has
never done any thing to merit this mark Of Cain
which some of the Republican fanatics desire
TO fix upon him. For our own part, we were
anxious to keep School affairs out of politics,
but, az the ''Republican' caucus would have il
otherwise, we say let the issue be made and let it
be made thoroughly and in earnest. The Dem
ocrats extended the olive branch and have been
returned dagger. Shall it not be taken up
and sent home Shall one of our best citizens be
stricken down and branded as 'disloyal' TO graf
fy thewhims of few crazy, maglignant fanat-
;ics: Citizens of Bedford Borough viii you,
can YOU, refuse to do justice in this matter?

Some skirmishes have taken place in Missouri
and Arkansas, in which the Confederates under
Price have been successful. They surprised
Capt. Montgomery's company at KietsviIle, kill
ing only two and wOunding one, according TO
the report. They then fed, but managed to
carry off with them seventy horses. In the
same vicinity two wagons loaded with army
stores were burned by the Confederates
The New Orleans papers are as belhgerent as
ever. The Delta calls upon men who feel alarmed
about their property to defend it with the sword.
The Crescent declares that if the Southern cities
taken, the people viii retire to the mountains
ndswamps and there maintain a warfare which
must ultimately prove successful. Sixty-two u
nited States vessels are said to he in the neigh
borhood of Ship Island, and large bodies Of Fed
eral troops are reported to have been landed on
Britton and Chandelier Islands.
From the Washington Star we learn that a
skirmish took place near Pohick on Tuesday last,
between party of Texan Rangers and a COM
pany of Heintzleman's division. The STIR ac-
cuses the Lieutenant Colonel in command of hav-
ing led his men into trap The Federal loss
is sci down at three killed and enc wounded.

cent defeats in the Southwest.
On the Upper Potomac, LeetoWn and Lovetts-
