their return; but in every case the enemy's po-
sition was either turned or they were compell-
ed to retire. Our loss in killed, wounded and
missing will not exceed twenty-five men.
1 have the honor to be, very respectfully,

knights of the Golden Circle.

G. w. S. Buckley, the founder of the order
Of the Knights of the Golden Circle, was ar
rested in New Albany, Indiana, the other
day, and committed to the Louisville military
prison. The New Albany Ledger says:
His portfolio contains letters from parties
in Memphis, Lynchburg, New York and other
points, directed to General Buckley as "Major
General of the order. Also copy of the
Degree Book" of the order of knights of
the Golden Circle; card on which is printed
an explanation of the signs, grips, &c, of the
order: another card, on which is printed in
red, white and blue, the Confederate flag,
with the letters *. G. C'' on each bar, the
name General George Buckley" being placed
on the top.
There is also the manuscript of an original
piece of poetry, of which the General claims
the authorship, intended to be set to music,
in which Virginia is spoken of as "Queen of
the South" and Lee, LoDgstTeet and Hill ex-
tolled as her saviors, &c. Also slips cut from
the Richmond Wing and Mobile Mercury (of
1860 explaining the doctrines and objects of

the situation Of Louisville, New Albany, Jef-
fersonville aud the Fulls. In the book was

PEMBERToN's ARMY.-The army of Penn
berton at Vicksburg consisted of eight regi-
meDts of infantry from Louisiana three from
Texas four from Arkansas four from Mis-
souri, nine from Alabama ten from Geor-
gia seven from Tennessee two from Alaba-
ma; and regiment Of cavalry from Missouri
two battalions of cavalry from Arkansas
aud sections of batteries and battalioGs oi
cavalry from the other States enumerated a
bove.
This shows that Pemberton had no reinforce
ments from Beauregard, and no troops from
the Atlantic or Gulf States, save Louisiana
Alabama, and Georgia. The largest number
of men in any one regiment was 595, and the
lowest number 50, Many of the regiments
were commanded by Captains.

A Timely Thought.

Men at this time, who madly rail at the
Government, at conscription, at the hardship;
and evils resulting from the war, ought to re-
feet that all of which they complain is the re-
suit Of the rebellion. The rebellion caused it
all. The moment rebellion is put down the
power of the rebellion is broken, the rebel
leaders captured or driven out of the country
that moment all the hardships of which they
complain will cease. The old established Or
der of things, at least in the loyal States, will
oe restored and everything will go on as here.
tofore. The draft, the horrors of the battle
field, and arrangements of business. &c, are
all fruits of rebellion. Let an end but be
made to that and they will all be done away

WASHINGTON, July 23d-The Petersburg
Express of 22d inst, referring to the cavalry
expedition sent out by Gen. Foster. says:
"The Yaekee raiders burned the railroad
bridge over the Tar river, near Rocky Mount,
destroyed the depot at that place, tore up two
miles of track, burned 5000 bales Of cotton,
and a large cotton factory. The bridge over
Tar river was on the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, and was about 300 yards long
They also captured train of cars, which con-
tained two car loads of ammunition, and 10000
pounds of bacon, which were all destroyed.

A reporter of the Cincinnati Commercial
was driven from the Pugh meeting at Lancas-
ter, few days ago. and was ordered not to at
tempt report of the speeches unless he COW
eted beating. He retired and in his accoun t
ofhis experiences paid the Fairfield Democrats
the following compliment:
Altogether from the general appearance of
things in lancaster, 1 could not help making
up my mind that the Butternuts of Fairfield
County compose the meanest and most God
forsaken crowd of human beings that the larg-
eft exercise of Divine mercy could possibly
permit to exist on Northern SOIL"

Hon. II. PAYNE. gentleman, one
party. their nominee when Mr.. WADE
was first elected for United States Senator.
and afterwards their candidate for t&overnor
was delegate to the Convention which nomi
mated VAILANDIGHAM. He was one of the
Committee on Resolutions, and being opposed
to the peace policy of the resolutions reported
and adopted, refused to give them his consent,
and it is strongly suspected that he will also
refuse o vote for the distinguished peace advo
cate who heads the ticket nominated His
present views may be inferred from the fol-
lowing sketch, copied from the Cleveland
Herald, of a speech he recently made in that
city:
He considered it to be the duty of every
man to rally in the defence of the Government.
He secuted the idea of peace without the sub
iugation of the rebels. Peace on any terms
meant disunon and be, for one, would never
consent to that. 1t was folly to talk of peace.
Ii must be war to the bitter end. We must
conquer peace or we could never obtain it,
The rebels have already scorned all the propo-
sitions of peace short of the possession ofall the
border slave states now on our side, and even
that will not satisfy them. They will not
have peace except such as shall render US for
ever their slaves. He insisted that it was the
duty of every man to support the Government
The Administration had committed many
grave errors, but it was struggling to save the
nation, and it was no time to refuse support
to the Administration because all of its acts
were not wise.

The following from the Richmond Dispatch
upon the reception of the good news to the
Confedracy, that an an;i-draft riot was prog
ressing in New York, must afford great conso-
latioH TO the Confederate Democrats in the
North:
The days as well as the soldiers of the Fed
eraI army are numbered. There will be nc
addition to its strength, and it is confessed on
all hands that the present Yankee force can
never begin to subdue the ConfederRcy. Let
US have more of these ont pourings-a few
more great cities on the mourners bench-some
more cutting and sacking Of houses, aud hang
ing and mutilating of men. 1t saves the Con-
ledelate troops great deal Of marching and
fighting, and lops off many dreary month ol
this war. The sacking and burning has here
lofore been at the South. Our compliments
to our Northern bretheren' and may they en-.
joy their turn"
