LATEST NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
Southern Accounts Of the En-
gagements ON the Rappahan-
y mock and West Virginia-Fed-
erals ON the PeninsuIa-The
I BOmbardment of Charleston
The Situation in Tennessee,
The following extracts are from Rich
nond papers Of the 18th inst:
The War fn Virginia,

The War tn Virginia,
TIE late engagements on the Rappahan-
mock and in Western Virginia afford prin
cipal subject Of comment to the Richmond
editors. The Enquirer says
. = Military movements are again in great
activity. In Northern Virginia Meade has
already signalized his advance with wonder
ful energy, and has inflicted terrible blow
upon the army of GEN. Lee. In Western
Virginia the disaster TO Gen. Echops com
maud shows the enemy active, bold and
enterprising. The Confederate genera, de-
feated, is retiring, says. the Lynchburg Re-
publican, on Salem, and apprehensions are
entertained for the safety Of the railroad.
In North Carolina the enemy have landed
in large force at Winton, and are threat
ening the southern line of railroad at We'll
don or some other point. On tae Peninsula
the enemy have been reported as landing in
large numbers at Newport News. Thus
all around Richmond the enemy are threat
ening active operations before the winter
has blockaded the roads
In an other article, ON the Rappahannock
fight, the Enquirer says
Con yesterday, the 10th, several officers
and privates, wounded in the disastrous
fight near Kelley Ford on Saturday, reach
ed the city, having been preceded on Mon
day by about one hundred and fifty woua
ded IN the same fight. They corroborate
the general report of the affair, namely
That the two brigades to which they were
and Hays's, the former
numbering eleven hundred and fifty efec.
tive men, and the latter nine hundred and
seventy.fve, the whole commanded by
Brigadier General Hays-were on picket
duty on the north side of the Rappahan-
mock, not far from the ford, when, about
eleven o'clock in the forenoon, they were
apprised Of the approach Of an overwhel-
ming Yankee force They, however, brave
" determined to stand their ground, and
they performed their duty nobly. One of
the most desperate fights of the war ensued.
Many of our men fought after being wouu-
ded, and both the infastry and artillery be-
haved splendidly; but the Yankees were
too many TO-. them. About eleven hun
lred were taken prisoners, three hundred
we're killed or wounded, and the rest, over
six hundred, escaped in the confusion
Among the escaped was General Hays
The Yankee less is estimated at six hundred
killed and wounded.

Il would seem TO be lie part of wisdom

a good leader. he may be the man for

he has no hold upon the affections or

a misfortune. We hope he is power

he Rebel Advance.

Ii is now manifest that the rebels ar,
making s'rugg gle for existence. Thei
movement into Pennsylvania is not ;
stroke of policy merely, but work o
neces sity. 1t is do or die with them
The progress of the raid may be stated
as follows, up 10 Tuesday evening:
Ia Penns ylvania the rebels have pos.
session of belt or region of country
some 40 miles wide and 90 miles deep,
with advance and flank movements ex-
tending beyond; and embracing very
fine portion of The State, including the
towns Of Chambersburg, Gettysburg
Shippensburg. York, Manchester, Balm
bridge, Carlisle, Greencastle, Marion,
Alterton, MELVILLE, Oakville. and ma
nv other smaller places, and are mena-
cling Harrisburg and Columbia. They
hold the Cumberland Valley Railroad
for 60 miles. and have destroyed sever
al sta,ioas on the North Central Rail
road, and some miles OF the track be-
tween Harrisburg and Baltimore. They
seize all property of nse 10 them.
In Maryland they have Hsgerstcwn,
Frederick, Poolesyille, Cumberland,
and a number Of other places, and their
cavalry is reported to be threatening he
railroad between Washington and Bal
tmore
Ii is plainly evident that Lee has a
very large force of the very best troops
tha, Rebeldom can afford. Opposed to
him is the poorest Union army in the
field, made Inefficient by two years Of
bad training. and disheartensd by sue
cessive disasters. If one Of our west
ern armies under Grant or Rosecrans
WAS there, Lees army would soon be
driven out or annihilated. As ii is, We
hope more from the fresh volunteers
and the militia than from the vaunted
Army of the Potomac, in opposing
the march of the rebels but we fear
that serious disaster awaits our arms for
short time.
One hopeful sign is the secrecy at
tending The movements OF our army. if
that secrecy is the result of policy and
not Of weakness, aud we are no; willing
to believe the latter. We know moth
ing OF the movements on our side; but
it seems evident that large numbers of
volunteers are rushing to the scene of
strife. Pennsylvania has $4,000 new
leyies, New York has forwarded 10000
New Jersey several regiments, and all
New England is alive. II is probable
that 100, GOO new soldiers are now on
the soil Of the cid Keystone Stale.
