North Caronians who had so galauty borne the heat

the rayages of the inhuman invader These statements
are confirmed by parents and relatives Of sick and
wounded soldiers who assist in nursing them.
When we take into consideration the ct that cti-
zens of Richmond and many portions of Virginia have
been for the past two years surrounded with the sick
and wounded from all parts of the Confederacy, and
that the demands their attention and charity are nu-

OUR MILITARY BUDGET.
THE SITUATION.

In the multitude of speculations and srrone-
Gus statements and differences that are hnding
their " ay to the public through the press, re-
latiye to the circumstances attending Lees
current retrograde movement, we find one
stating that such was the damage done by L.
to the Alexandria and Orange Railroad as that
ii cannot be repaired faster than at the rate OF
a mile day. This is not SO. The officers OF
the construction bureau of the War Depart
ment on commencing the work Of its repair,
calculated to finish it in ten days, and are pro-
crossing according to their anticipations.
-Anotner OF these stories (Wnlcn we nnd tele.
rraphed by the Associated Press} alleges that
in his retreat Lee placed his army In battle
rray at Warrenton. This, also, is not So His
purpose in suddenly and secretly retreating
was to avoid, not to give, battle. While small
portions OF his rapidly retreating forces turned,
momentarily, now and then, at bay, On the
near approach of our cavalry that was in the
extreme advance, Lee took due care to hasten
his army on the run before our infantry could
get up with him. The fact that all the gaps of
the Bull Run range were found abandoned by
his infantry proves his determination not to
hight on this side Of the Rappahannock, and in
itself explodes this 8 battle array" story.
The rumor OF this morning that Lee retreated
to go in defence of Lynchburg, though plausi-
Die, Is as YET wholly unsustalned by reliable
information. One purpose of his raid was
doubtless so to destroy the railroad as ii pos
sible to prevent an advance on Richmond by
that line this season. As thorough as his work
OF destruction was done. he has thus effected
little or nothing to that end, owing to the efici-
eRcy Of Col. McCallum's means Of repairing
such dam ages. We do not look for another
serious stand of Lees army upon the Rapidan,
as his late movements have developed the fact
that he does no. feel able TO cope with our army
IN pitched Battle.

The Enemy in Bristol-Our Force Fallen
-.--4-s--a-- Back. ..z.-szs.zss sss.s
LYNcHBURe, Oct. 16-The enemy occupied
Bristol, Tennessee, Wednesday evening, and
our forces tell back to point in the vicinity OF
Abingdon, where there was fighting this even
ing-the result unknown.
The enemy's force is estimated at between
5000 ana 5000, composed Of Fosters brigade
Of cavalry and tour or five regiments OF East
Tennessee tories.
They are doubtless endeavoring to get pos
session OF the salt works, with the intention OF
holding Bristol as a base for future operations
From East Tennessee.
The enemy is evidently retreatlng from Ten
Mt ssee, and is lingering longest at London, to
cover the retreat. Byrd's brigade was at Post
Oak on Saturday, and their pickets were yet on
this side the Tennessee river. One hundred
political prisoners were last week sent from
Knoxville to Camp Chase The Yankee suffers
at Knoxville had all packed up their goods,
and made tracks in the direction OF Cumber-
land Gap
Black Roll.
The grand jury Of Twiggs County (Ga) Su.
preme Court requested the court TO order a
record called the "Black Roll" in which the
names OF all who refuse to take Confederate
bills, bonds or notes in payment for any debt,
shall be recorded on this recommendation and
that of each succeeding grand jury, that the
names of such malcontents may be officially
handed down to posterity, and their ultimate
reward ensured
The Bill to Suppress Gaming.
This bill, which has attracted more or less
attention for the past week, was finally dis
posed OF in the House yesterday, by concur
renee Of that body in the amendment Of the
Senate, leaving it discretionary with the jury
or magistrate before whom a con viction may
be had to infiict the punishment Of 80 lashes
upon the bare back. The members Of the gam
ing fraternity, who have been fleeing all
whom they could seduce into their richly
furnished rooms, considering discretion the
better part of valor, at once closed their houses
and many who have heretofore partaken of
their hospitality, and Jared sumptuously at
their tables, were yesterday compelled to hunt
eating accommodations elsewhere. Among
them rot few of the Delegates whom public
opinion had dashed into a support of the bill
passed by the Legislature.
To the proprietors of restaurants the bill may
prove OF some advantage, as those who ha We
the money 10 spend will freely dispose of 1t for
good meal; but to the boarding house keepers
it can hardly be expected to result in any Ser
vice. Those who have 40 money to expend
will hi reafter be much more regular IN attend
ance at eating hours.
Altogether, the bill is q Just and righteous
one, and should have been adopted long ago.
II the Confederate Congress should repeal the
substitute law q regiment of men heretofore
engaged in sporting, may easily be raised in
this city.

qualified voters from the polls will be- punished
as military offence. Any person having

present rebellion, shall not presume to act as q
Judge or Clerk of the said election, and any
County Judge who shall knowingly appoint
such person as Judge Of the election will be
