Three Men Killed N COshOcton County.
CHILL, O, August 26.
At two o'clock on the morning Of August
25th, Deputy Marshal Taylor, of Coshoc-
ton county, Ohio, with a squad of five
men, went to house near Chill, in Craw-
ford township, to arrest two men-Wens
and J. Lour-Germans, who we're drafted
last fall, but had, up to that time evaded
the authorities. Not finding them at the
house they approached the barn to search
it, when Wens and Lour came out of il
armed and fired. Taylor and his men
closed upon them 10 secure them, when
hand to hand fight occurred. Stafford, one
Of the MafshaPs men, fell dead, pierced
with nine balls. One other Of the Mar
shals men was severely wounded, and
Wens and LoUr, the two drafted men, both
killed-Lour instantly, Wens lived some
hours. Some ten or twelve drafted men
are yet harbOred in the same vicinity
They and hundreds of their friends are
arming to resist the Marshal. Fears are
entertained Of more bloodshed before they
are all secured. The township mentioned
is noted copperhead region, full Of K. G.
C.'s, who harbOr these drafted men. They
have threatened the lives Of many of our
best Union citizens who are aiding the
Marshal in the performance of his duty.
Much excitement prevails here at present,
and you may expect to hear soon again
from your REPoHTER.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF POTOMAc, I
a September 8.
Information having been received that
naval expedition was to have been sent
up the Rappahannock to retake the gun
boats Satellite and Reliance, Gen
ersl Fitzpatrick was directed to move
down with his cavalry division and CO. op-
crate in such a manner as ciro instances
might require.
In accordance with these instructions
Fitzpatrick moved yesterday morning 10
the vicinity Of COrbin's Neck where the
captured gunbOats were lying, causing the
rebel cavalry in the neighborhood to pre-
cipitately ford the river. Finding no gun
boats had appeared for his assistance to
engage the Reliance and Satellite. he
ordered the batteries of EldOr and Fuller
to open upon them. The boats we're moor
ed to the shore opposite Corbin's Neck, and
having no steam up they were unable to
escape. They were thoroughly riddled
and disabled, and can never be again used
by the enemy The enemy played upon
our force for short time with few field
pieces, without damage, and were speedily
quieted. i--
These boats were merely tugs altered
for navy business.
Scouting parties Of infantry and cavalry
combined are in the frequent habit of
leaving General Corcoran's command
Yesterday they chased a small body of
guerrillas and finding a house, coneealing
captured Suffers stores, set it on FIRE.
Deserters now coming in report Lees
army is generally discussing another raid
across the Potomac. There must have been
certain indiestions or expressions dropped
by those high in command to warrant the
assumption.
The reported demonstration Of Lees
army IS much exaggerated. His army is
again in excellent lighting condition. De-
sertions are far less numerous than--l-s0eu,
both TO the mountains aI.S Uur lines.
The Trihuaeis despstches say that it is
ordered that the premium Of 81 paid for
accepted recruits for the regular army and
volunteers shall also be paid for accepted
eOlOred recruits. The recruit himself is
entitled to the premium if he presents him
self to the recruiting officer.
The Times special dispatches say that
q distin guished officer in the Army of the
Potomac has sent in word that Lee has not
given the slightest evidence of q purpose
to move his forces. On the other hand he
is waiting for the result Of the operations
of Rosecrans, Gilmore and Burnside. The
opinion prevails among the most intelii-
gent Of our officers at headquarters that if
those operations are successful Lee will
propose terms Of surrender and endeavor
to bring the war to a close. s

Yankes War Euterprlse Portrayed.

Yankee War Enterprise Portrayed.
The following queer jumble Of sarcasm
and intended disparagement pays,
without probably intending it, the
highest possible compliment to Yankee
pluck, indomitable energy and uneonquer-
able endurance. It is from the corres-
pondencs Of the London Times. It says:
With all this disadvantage Of not un-
willing but unsteady discipline, have ev-
cry day greater cause to wonder at the
transcendent confidence Of the majority of
those Northern men in the ultimate success
OF their cause. The earnest steadiness
with which they pursue their purpose is
only commensurate with their utter reck-
lessness as TO the means which must lead
TO its attainment. Not only do they mot
care but they positively delight in the
vastness Of the sacrifice their country de-
mands Of them. They seem less eager for
victory than for the fearful amount of
blood and treasure by which they are 10
achieve it. Are they sure to take Char
lesion 2 you ask Aye, sure as deaih-
The cost will be tremendous but who
would wish to have it at cheap rate p
not Of the result OF their mighty efforts
that they are proud, but Of the cspabili-
ties and resources of their country in put
ting forth such colossal power. The big
war, they are anxious to prove, bears full
proportions with the bigness Of the Repub-
lie. Every man seems to swell before
you, as he dwells on the gigantic strength
the State brings inth the field. The havy
has raised the number Of men-of-War,
which we're only sixty ct the time of the
outbreak of hostilities, to six hundred
What to day costs millions, will rise to
tens Of millions. They are sorry for it,
they are delighted at it they will have
no rest till the expense shall be hundreds

founders, a regiment is cut to pieces, an
iron-elad is sunk by the enemy. Hurrah |
Allthe greater their joy Here they are,
ready with four new regiments with four |
more steam frigates, with ten additional |
iron-clads Failure braces them up even |
more than success would elate them. All |
they are anxious to show is the boundless-
ness and observation-disclosures oftheir means.
There is no loss that they cannot repair,
no extraVagance they cannot afford. Or /
this the world must be well assured. 1t is
in this extent in this expansiveness of
their means, that lies the certainty Of their
progress to the end. They want to make
much Of it, doubtless they brag an intol-
cradle deal about it, we are all sure. 1t is |
on this lavish, wantOn ndisplay Of unlimited |
power that they lay their hope of its ire
II is by it that they aspire |
to strike dismay and despair into the
hearts Of their present fOe-that thsy
trust to overawe their eventual enemy.
How can the South, how can Europe, have
a chance to stand against this unweary
giant? Let the struggle be prolonged for
ever so many years, let the fortune Of war
be ever so tickle, and success alternate
ever SO blindly, America cannot fail to
wear out ali antagonism.'

NEW YORK, September l.
The following extraordinary statement
is addressed to the New York Times, in
which paper it appears this morning:
PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, September L.
Having just returned from the city of
Richmond, Virginia, where have been
over one year, l wish you would give the
following publication in your valuable
journal sZl ts8fa.f.
al have, during my stay in Richmond,
made the intimate Acquaintance of J. Lane,
Captain in the Confederate Army, son of
Gen. Joe. Lane of Oregon, who is well in
formed, and who assured me that the late
invasiOus Of the North by Lee and Nor
gan were made upon the earnest and un-
doubted representations Of that true South
ern man, Vsllandigham, who assured JEFF
Davis and his Cabinet that the North was
ripe for a revolution and only waited the
appearance of the Southern army to pro-
claim for JEFF. Davis and fOrsake Lincoln.
Mr.. Vallandighams representations were
corrOborated by the tone of the majority
Of the northern journals, who surely would
not denounce the administration so boldly
except by the assurance Of having the
masses strongly in their favor.

All the indices Of the times point with
snPhatio certainty to the fact that the re-
bellion is drawing to close Every days
reports yield unmistakable evidence Of the
exhaustion Of the " Confedsracy," and Of
the wide spread, hopeless discoursgement
which prevails. Planters, and others, Of
influence and standing South, admit that
they are defeated, that the rebellion IS 8
failure, and great numbers express not
only 5 willingness, but strong desire to
return to their allegiance to the Govern
ment and to the enjoyment Of its prOtee-
ton, with or without slavery. In regard
70 the leading eOnspiratOrs, not only q
wide diStFust prevails, but they are pun
gently and bitterly denounced.
1t would seem that with the fallo Char
lesion and the liberation Of East Tennessee
from rebel rule, the end viii be pretty
nearly roachsd-ihat even Lee would not
be desperate enough either to give or stand

The rebels are fast coming 10 grief
Their failure impsnds, and thoy h2 see it,
They sdmit the exhaustion oi their own
@ power and Fssourees, and aeknowlsdgs
laa that Eithout aid outside Of and beyond

thsy have assumed.
49, The Richmond Whig aatIy adnits their
- failure and says there are but two means
- y. By which the impending overthrow. of the
rebellion can be s4erted, and they are
desc:
AZ Foreign Intervention.
~ A determined and successful oppo-
sition b. the conservative masses Of the
North TO the Abolition faction which has
eSntrol Of the Government at Washing
The Wig has repeatedly affirmed that
Europssn iniervention is impossible, and
~ yet i puts that as the first Of tbs two
means which may save the rebellion from
overthrow. The main and sole reliance
tAen is upon the disloyal, Coppsrhsad
synpathizsrs ct the North. Sorry are we
that any perlion Of the men Of the loyal
states 80 densan themselves as toencoursge
tie rebels to indulge hope Of aid and
comfort in their attempts to overthrow the
Government and disrupt the Union.-
What secret understanding the rebels may
-a-s have with leading Copperheads North,
what midnight plots sre being concooted
By these GOpperheads to rise against the
Government in conjunction with the reb-
els, we do not know.
But this We know, that Pugh and others
threaten to inaugurate civil war in Ohio,
If Vallandigham is elected, and these
threats, i. there is nothing more eneOur-
ages The rebels to hold out, at least till az
ter the election. All can see, then, the
vast consequences which hang upon the
@ resultef the October elections, and every
..., loyal man ought to bestir nimsslf accord
ingly.
g Again, Fernando Wool, sort Of mod
srn twin Cstaline with Vallandigham, is
mysteriOusly fitting about-going to Hal
ifax for his 1salh-and anon. reported to
be in secret cODalave with Vallandigham,
'.i and the last named alleged to have forfeit
ed the protection of the British flag" by
violating the terms Of his sentence, in
crossing our lines, and appearing with
IN. Wood In some secret cOnclave Of Copper
head cOnspiratOrs. There may be mischief
aaOat. Probably the rebels at Richmond
are eOgnizant Of Copperhead conspirscies
to aid the rebellion. Hence the Richmond
Whig msy well say that their main reli-
ance is on e q determined and successful
81 opposition by the conservative masses of
the North to the Government. Governor
e. Seymour does not know his friends " any
more thoroughly than do the armed rebels,
theirs.
