The Montgomery [Als, Advertiser, in
publishing, as ii did, the whole of Mr. Soli-
citor Writings letter upon the conditions

ing SUGGESTIONS H9 % ior
"If there is man in the Confsderacy in
favor of the reconstruction of the Union, let
him read this letter and see his DOOM
State lines are to be obliterated, Ststs
rights ignored, public and private property
and interest swept away, the cien of the
South, rich and poor, with their wives and
little ones, are to be made the servants Of
servants" 'a..
The Washington Intelligsncer well says
of this blow: u
Now, we hold that any theory Of
action which thus puts arguments into the
mouths of southern disunionists and places
weapons in their hands, is theory which
becomes terribly practical, and which tho
friends of the Union are called BY every
consideration of duty to dsplore, and de-
ploring, to resist by all means in their
power.

Magruder's Ofilcial Report Of
the Sabine Pass Affair.
HEADa'Rs DIsF. Texas, Mexico AND Arr
IONA, Houston, Texas, Sept. 9, 1868. }
General Order, No. -.

|. The Major General commanding has
the satisfaction of announcing to the army
brilliant victory won by the little garrison
of Sabine Pass against the fleet Of the enc
my Attacked by five gunboats, the fort
mounting but three guns of small calibre,
manned by the Davis Guards, Lieut.. B. M.
Dowling, assisted by Lieut.. Sn,itL, of the
engineers, supported by about 200 men
the whole under the command of Capt. +.
H. Odlum-steadily resisted their FIRE, and
at last forced the surrender Of the two gun
boats Clifton and Sachem, badly crippling
another, which with the Others escaped over
the bar. The result of this gallant achieve
msnt is the capture of two fine gunboats,
Is heavy guns, over 200 priseners-among
them the Commodore Of the tiest-and over
so of the enemy killed and wounded while
not man was lost on our side, or gun
captured.
H. The enemy's feet, with his land
forces, is still off the coast, nodoubt intend
ing landing at the first favorable moment.
He may endeavor to retrieve his losses at
Sabine by an attack upon the works at 9th
er points on the coast. Should this be the
case, the Major General commanding ex-
poets to receive from his troops at these
points as cheering report as that which he
now communicates to the army from the
defences of Sabine.
Ill. The result of the engagement had
with the enemy's feet on the coast of
Texas, proves that true pluck and resolu-
ton are qualities which make up ior dis
parity of metal and numbers, and that no
position, defended with determination, can
be carried by the enemy's gunboats alone.
Should any of the forts on the coast, or the
forces on land, be attacked, the troops need
but remember the success of their COM
rades at Sabine, emulate their courage and
skill, and victory will be the result

tired through Culpeper Kilpatrick's loss
in killed and wounded amounted to l5S.
General Meade is said to have displayed
good generalship in bringing his army back
to the line of the Rappahannock. When
the enemy made his feint of moving up the
valley, Meade also made feint of following
him in force to attack him in the rear,
massing his troops at Raecoon Ford TOR
that purpose.
This drew back Lees army, so that the
intended fanking movement was frustra-
tod. .
Meade has brought off every wagon and
all his stores to his new line.

NorE,-Since issuing the first edition Of
the above address, the leaders of the Radi-
cal faction in the First Congressional Dis
trict, have met in convention and nomina-
ted candidate for Congress. This candi-
date stands pledged to endorse and carry
out, ifelected, all the radical dogmas which
fsnaticism demands. Are the people pre-
pared to yield anything to the Jacobinicsl
spirit?
In order to prevent misapprehension,
deem it proper to remark, that my name
was not before the Moundsville Convention
I positively refused TO allow it to be used
knowing | could not stand upon such a
platform as the movers in that Convention
would present. More than this. have long
been of the opinion so pointedly expressed
by the prime movers of the Conservative
scheme, that all conventions were prolific
sources of corruption, aud also designed Il
wheedle the people.
All our present evils have sprung from
political organizations. The people have
indeed cause to be sick of such corrup
combinations. They should forever scou
them from their confidence.

shell, shrapnell, and grape, which drew the
fire Of three invisible field pieces. As they

sand hills we had to govern our firing by the
smoke of their guns. One Of their shot went
through and through the Adger. We were
struck several times but not shot went
