Our Army in Pennsylvania.

As it is very nearly certain that our ar:
mics now occupy Harrisburg and York,
Pennsylvania, We may well imagine the ter
ror ofthe Yankees, when we recollect how
horror. stricken they were when we advanc-
ed no farther than Chambersburg The
panic, indeed, SO far from subsiding, ap-
pears to be gathering strength with every
day that our troops remain on the SOIL
Gen. Lee has issued strict orders to Gre
spect private property. ~ We were greatly
disappointed at this in the first instance,
for We had hoped that the Yankees would
be made to feel portion, at least of the in
juries they have wantonly inflicted on u.s.
Nevertheless, we can imagine very good
apology for such an order. z It is DO doubt
TIE object of the General to make war sup.
port war-that is, to support his army in
the enemy's country. Should he allow his
soldiers to pillage and burn indiscriminate.
ly, he would defeat the end in view, for
the Yankees indiog there was no hope for
them, would retire and 8 the country as
they went before them. Besides, nothing
is so fatal to the discipline of an army as a
habit of plundering. They soon learn to
think Of nothing else become demoraized,
-nd fall an easy prey. to their enemies. =.
! doubtless Gen. Lee had this fact, attested
by allshistory, in view, when he issued the

The Hampton Brigade--Another Cav
..-. airy Fight. s.-
We are permitted to make the following
extract from letter from cavalry officer
of Hampton's Brigade:
REcToR's Cross ROADS,
Near Upper7ille, Va, June %.
The enemy attacked US yesterday in heavy
force, and soon we had Oh hand a heavy
engagement. They brought infantry and
cavalry, thus driving us gradually back
When we got near Upperville, their cavalry
left the infantry and came upon us in large
force. Our brigade Immediately charged
them and scattered them in every direction
killing many and taking eighty prisoners,
in the face of their whole force. We made
several desperate charges, driving the ene-
my off, and giving time for our troops to
withdraw safely. Our lossis 1T killed
Capt. John S. Preston, jr,, was slightly
wounded in the foot. The General and
rest of the staff are safe. The Generals
line black horse was shot under him, but ne
escaped. The enemy retired, and we fol-
lowed him to Middleburg. Gen. Stuart's
Adjutant General, Maj. Venable, saw the
charge, and said the brigade is the finest he
has ever seen. Our men behaved nobly.
While the main fight was going on in
front, one of our regiments charged the
enemy on another road and took thirty men;
so we took over 100 prisouers-no other
brigade taking any. In the ranks we found
negro, and three of our men ran their sa-
bres through him. In the midst Of the most
desperate fighting, the men found time to
cheer the General, by taking off their hats
and waving them while he passed.
Another letter says:
Gen. Hampton is the idol of his cavalry,
and loud calls are made for his promotion as
Major. General, which he has fairly earned.
1t must come very soon. >-
Every one mourns the loss of Col. Frank
Hampton, who was esteemed for his good
ness and generosity and nobleness Of char
acter.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE MERCURY -
Will you allow me to enquire through the
columns of your valuable and ever-watchful
Journal, if it is right or allowable to suffer
skulkers, between Is and 40 years, to be
aboat the country out Of service, while the
Blood Of our best men is being spilled for
the independence of our beloved country =?
All good men have been conscripted, be-
cause they have been honest enough to re-
pert themselves when required to do so.-
But luxurious men, uxorious men and dab
blers iu speculation, 6nd the army and army
life neither SO pleasant or'so profitable as
lodging at home. I have, too, seen con-
scripts in a certain district, some ofSwhom
;t is said have exemptions obtained last year
through deception. At any rate, they can
now maui rails: and others are competentto
run round making money without fatigue.
Who has not seen such i? And this in the
face of the fact that notice appeared in
the journals few months ago giving notice
to all and singular, between Is and 40
years of age, to report at ~ on the 26th
and 9th of March, if recollect rightly,
or they would be dealt with as deserters.-
Now, in justice to the country and to those
who have been conscrirted, let me ask
again, if it is right-if there is no remedy
and none to apply the remedy?
I have waited to hear what would be
done in the matter, but have heard nothing.
Do We not need them in the army?E Or
are our ranks toofull? Ifnot, who are the
enrolling officers? Is their work finished
and beyond improvement? VOX.

The Brigadier General commanding
claims his privilege Of congratulatiug his
brigade upon their gallant couduct on the
9th inst. The brilliant success which
crowned their works was but the natural
reward which follows good discipline .and
conspicuous valor. -
It has never beeuthe good fortune of the

The past conduct Of the brigade warrants
him in feeling undoubted confidence in its

Regiment, which was unhappily detached
from his command and outnumbered, by. an
overwhelming force while forming to meet

| Adepot of army supplies is about being
established in each State under efficient,

mutation Of supplies for our armies. TEis
arrangement will be found very beneficial
and will silence all quarrelings abeut taking
supplies out to different portions Of the
country for an army when such provisions
are claimed BY another corps. The .depots
are for the accumulation Of supplies for the
entire army Of the Coufederacy, and each
commander will draw from the nearest and

permanent station in each State viii be-
formed, and each sub.agent will send sup
plies there for accumulation, and military
commanders will know where to look for
them. -

over the South Anna, the enemy destroyed
the trestle work on the road near Hanover
Court House, and tore up the track for some
distance. They then attacked the bridge,
which was guarded by only 80 men, belong
ing, we are informed, to the 44th North
Carolina. Perhaps there has not been more
determined and desperate gallantry exhib-
tied during this whole war, than was exhib-
tied by these gallant men in defence of the
bridge. For upwards of an hour they con-
tended with twelve hundred of the enemy's
cavalry and two pieces Of artillery, and only
yielded when completely overpowered. The
Lieutenant Colonel commanding the guard
refused to surrender his sword, even after
being overpowered, and it was not until he
was ruthlessly knocked down with the butt
of musket that it was wrested from him.
According to one account We had eight'men
killed in the action, whilst another states
that we lost but three Our wounded, some
half dozen in number, were left at Hanover
Court House. The enemy is known to have
had three killad and number wounded.
After firing the bridge, the Yankees
started in the direction Of the bridge on the
Fredericksburg road, but on being inform
ed by citizen, who was prisoner Of theirs,
that we had two brigades at that point and
Hanover Junction, they turned their course
and marched back in the direction of the
White House, passing Hanover Court House
only few minutes before the arrival of our
reinforcements. The gentleman who gave
them the information with reference to our
forces at the Junction, says they told him
they had cavalry force Of 1900, and a
large infantry force at the White House and
neighborhood, and they boasted of their in
tention to take Richmond last night or to-
day.
Whilst in Hanover they went to the resi-
dence of Col. Wiokham, where they cap
tured Gen. w. Fl. F. Lee, who has been
there since he was wounded at the battle of
| Brandy Station, on the 9th. They convey
ed him away in the carriage Of Col. W.,
which they stole. They also burned the
fine barn of Col. Wickham, and one or two
other outbuildings Richmond Dispatch.

WHEELING has been very prosperous for
the last two years, especially the last year,
and she is showing just now that she is
worthy of it. The subscription list for
the benefit of the families of soldiers will
compare very favorably, we believe, with
those of other cities.
Push on the work, gentlemen of the
committee, and get as few small and as
many big subscriptions as possible.
