Mr., Spurlock was the candidate oil

| to impute much of the blame to aboiitio
intermeddling, His recent. Investigation
lead him to the conviction, that If the voic
of the Southern people could be heard,
tIarge majority are in favor of returning t.
the old fag, and that nothing prevents 1T
being heard but the existence OF the eman
cipation and confscation acts. II they
were repealed, or declaration on the par
of Congress made with the same solemnlty
as that which defined the sole object OF the
war to be a restoration of the sovereignty
of the Union, the whole matter would be
settled in thirty days the bulk OF the ar
nv would disband and return to their
peaceful occupations, / remarked that the
assurance had been virtually given IN Mr..
Stewards Circular. and would doubtless be
carried out. that slaves who had avalled
themselves Of the proclamation of emancl-
patton could not be re enslaved, but doubt
less the loss would be idemnifed by a
money consideration, as in Missouri and in
Maryland. and that the simple fact of fall
ing into line under the loyal authorities OF
their respective States, and electing Union
members of Congress, would restore the
status ante bellum.
He replied that Congress had erected an
impossible barrier against such return, by
the oath required from members Of Con-
gress coming from seeding States, to the
effect not only that they would hereafter
sustain the Federal Constitution, but that
they had not directly or indirectly been
engaged in opposing it; for he says that
universal oppo iition has been forced upon
the Southern people, and that as far as the
future is concerned the applicants for adj
mission into Congress would readily sub
scribe to it,
In the last paragraph the writer points
out, however, IAN impossible barrier" as
he Justly ssyles it, TO any reconciliation or
settlement until that barrier is removed
The Act of Congress referred to could only
have been passed for the express purpose OF
reunion; because it necessarily
excludes from any future Congress nearly
in the rebellious States, no mat
ter what their present disposition may be
to resume their allegiance. Would not the
shame and humiliation of utter failure IN
their purposes, and the security which the
orced abandonment of such portentous
and frightful experiment would afford for
the peace of future generations, be ample
enough, 50 far as the great body Of the
Southern people is concerned ? We think
30; and we also think, as the first step to-
wards reunion, if there be any desire for
hat glorious consummation, this unparal-
eled Act of Congress should be summarily
epealed.

A cavalry fight took place on Tuesday,
near Liberty Mills, about six miles above
Orange Court House. We ihad about
1900 troops engage, under General Stuart,
while the enemy had some 1000, under
Generals Baford and Fitzpatrick The ene
my crossed the river above the position 90
cupied by Stuart, and at one time had our
cavalry nearly surrounded, but they Gu,
their way out, with reported loss of l25
killed, wounded and missing. General
Stuart was compelled, By overwhelming
numbers, to fall back, ard it is said 10 left
his dead and wounded in the enemy 9 hands. (
Seventy eight Yankees captured ip the
engagement were brought down by the
Central train last evening. 'eN t.''
We have received the following note
from the correspondent Of the Press Asso;
ciatlon:- -.. IDOL q.
GoRDoNsvILLE, Sept. 23-9 P. NJ.
The enemy's cavalry, in strong force, oc-
cupied Madison Court House last night.
Fighting took place nearly all day to-day
at Jacks Shop. Nothing but cavalry en-
gagged on both sides, our cavalry falling
back to Liberty Mills.
One portion Of the snemy's force has
gone to our left, and have reached Ruckr
ersville. 1t is believed that it is their in
tention to get to Charlottesville aud destroy
the Central Railroad between that point
aud this place.
Our loss is believed to be severe. Sever.
al of our wounded have reached here, We
took about 100 of their sharpsooters. ..
The last reports say that the enemy had
crossed the Rapidan with infantry aud ar.
illery, and We were gradually falling back. %

week
