FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

There is really nothing new, far advised
with reference to forces under Gen. Lee. Reports
state that the advance of the enemy had reached r
West as Sperryvlle, in Rappahannock county. Where
the maia body Of their force is located only 10
ectured but it is presumed that it is scattered along
theeastern base of the mountains in the counties Of
Loudoun and Fauquier, and probably moving to
the several mountain passes.

Confederate Prisoners s,cindlcd of their Money
by their Yankee Keepers.-A late truce boat
brought to City Point large number of exchang-
ed Confederate prisoners from Alton, ILL.,, who ar
rived here in due time 1t seems, that upon be-
ing taken to Alton, these prisoners were relieved
of their money, and told that it would be returned
to them when they were sent away, to which ar
rangement they of course offered no objection the
arrangement being in accordance with established
rules. They were, however, sent off without their
money, but were informed That it would follow
them. On Saturday last, boat arrived at the
Point from which the packages, forty-one in all,
said to contain the money, were delivered, and
duly forwarded to General Winder to be forthwith
distributed to the owners. The packages were
opened at General Winder's Office for examina-
ton, when it was discovered that every one, with
hardly an exception, contained counterfeit Con-
federate notes, all new, but of the most common
and miserable description. The packages contain
ed from ten to one hundred dollars each. 1t was
evident that the good money had been purloined
and this trash inserted in its place.-Rtch. Eng.

THE FIGHTING AT CHARLEsToN.-Int the attack
Battery Wagner. Morris Island, S. c., July 18th,
the 5st n. G. Regiment lost Is killed, 50 wounded,
and missing. The Charleston papers speak in
complimentary terms of the gallantry of the North
Carolina troops.
correspondent of the Wilmington Journal,
speaking of the desperate assault of the enemy on
batteries says:
about dusk in the evening the fleet crowded
down upon the Fort and fired at short range with
remarkable vigor and rapidly. They had almost
ceased little after dark. when the signals were
given from the fleet, and Immediately the infantry
advanced, from six to eight thousand strong to as
saut the work, under the mistaken idea that all of
our guns were dismounted except one. As they ad
vance6 up the beach our artillery from Wagner and
Sumter played on them with terrible effect; but
they continued to advance nevertheless, until they
had reached the Fort, portion of them climbing
over the parapetS, and taking and maintaining one
position inside of the Fort for about an hour. Two
North Carolina regiments participated in the de-
fence 1.-THE 5lst and 3lst) and behaved handsomely.
The conduct of the 5lst has been particularly men
toned on all sides exhibiting great gaantry and
being very effective. This regiment met with
loss of sixty five killed anu wounded being one half
ct our entire loss. The 3lst lost few of its men,
The entire loss side will not exceed in killed
and wounded, one hundred and thirty while that of
me enemy in the assault not less than eight
hundred killed, and no doubt the usual proportion
in wounded.

DIsGUsTNG.-To hear some people pronounce
Gen. Lee, Gen. Johnston. Gen. Pemherton and
Gen. Holmes Incompetent, is really disgusting and
rather sickehing. These officers have been sue
cessfu many hard fought fields, extorting praise
even from their enemies, yet if they happen to fail
in one undertaking, or meet with any reverse, they
are pronounced incapable by newspaper generals
and non combatant high prvates. 1t is pity that
people won't learn to keep their mouths shut about
matters of which they know nothing.

GEN. NEAL Dow,-The. Augusta, Georgia,
Constitutionalist of the 9th, says that Brig Gen.
Neal Dow, of the Maine Liquor Law fame, recently
captured in Mississippi passed through that city
on his way to Richmond He expressed himself
to one of our citizens who travelled with him on
the cars as having entered the army to deliver the
Union people of the South from the despotism of
Secession but he was satisfied that there are very
few Union people in the South and goes home
utterly opposed to war of coercion.
We give his statement for what it is worth. He
made, it with the utmost candor, and he a man
noted for his bodness and zeal If he will continue
to talk thus on his return to Maine, he may do the
cause of civilization asignal service.

1.-The revolution must go For US. there must
be victory and independence, else the contisca-
ton of whole property in land and slaves com
petc beggary, with obligation to pay the Northern
debt and enlist in Northern wars against France in
Mexico first, England in Canada next. AS for Lin
coin, the sword of Damocles is over his head; the
demon of war will extermnate him if he fails to ex-
terminate The South conquered, he will still
be compelled to the sword he has drawn against
the South in foreign wars to keep it from being
used against himself. The savage and merciless
spirit in which the is waged by Lincoln leave
US no alternative but TO fight to the last
