and fury. There is discrepancy in North
ern and Southern accounts as to the no..os

presume Kirby Smith holds it. If So All r;ubt
and Grants days are numbered.
We can hear nothing from Gen. Jobnston
All the better. 1t is the stiffness that nre.
cedes the hurricane.
We have rumors, said to be reliable. but
we cannot vouch for them. One is, that two
brlgades Of Bragg's army have been attach al
and driven back, and the other, that Hooker
has been superseded by Meade.
Wei have information that may b. relied on
that our forces had certainly taken possession
OF Harrisburg. As a knowledge Of this place
may De interesting, we insert the following
brief outline from an exchange:
harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania. is
situated on the left bank of the Susquebanna.

OF the river and surrounding country, and it
has splendid Statehouse on elevated ground.
from which there is a gradual descent to the
river. The bridge over the Susquehanna is
flne structure, extending to an island in the
river, and thence to the opposite bank, 2;s7e |
feet long, 40 wide and so above the surface Of /
the river; short distance below it is the via.
duct Of the Cumberland Valley railroad, an
elegant and substantial structure. Popula-
ton in 1860, $4,000.
The immense Yankee army approaching
Richmond from the Peninsula, has diminished
down to some 10 or 1900 men, and these
seem more disposed to skedaddle than fight.
Altogether, our prospects are growing more
promising every hour, and each day adds new
evidences that people determined to be free
cannot be enslaved.

Reports from gen. Lees ARMY.

We have . variety Of rumors from our
army IN Pennsylvania, but the following from,
the Richmond Enquirer of Monday morning.
Is about as satisfactory as any:
BY passengers who reached the city from
StauntoA, last evening, oia Central and Fred
ericksbtrg trains, reports were brought down
to the effect that Gen. Lees whole army was
positively in Maryland and Pennsylvania. and
that Harrisburg had been captured and barn
ed BY Gen. Jenkins. The latter report. it is
stated, reached Staunton by private letters
written by members Of Gen. Jenkins'csnnand.
Passengers report our army to be in SPLEEN
did condition, and say the commissary DEPART
ment is issuing to the soldiers butter. sugar.
coffee, molasses, hams, beef and all that could
be desired. Provisions sent from Richmond
were ordered back. We have an abundance
OF horses, having mounted several regiments
OF infantry. Ordnance is so abundant that
we can scarcely haul it to the rear. Stuart,
N his fighta Smokers Gap, lost about three
hundred and fifty horses, and but few men.
the infantry bring too low to kill the men. |
lie fell back, and having received reinforce
ments OF infantry, recovered his ground.-I
his prisoners were not recaptured, as report I
ed; but over four hundred are now on their /
way to Richmond. Citizens of Winchester.
who are in favor of the South, say that they
we're unable to get more than one or two
pounds Of sugar and coffee at time, and the
druggists were not allowed to bay even me-
ilcines to sell to the citizens ia small GUAM
ties. On; Saturday evening eleven Yankee !.
ysmen were brought in on the Central train.
Nine of them claimed to be soldiers wives:
he others did not, but were women of ill-fame
rom Washington. One sick Yankee soldier /,
nd one hypocritical and ill-fayored gentle
nan Of tho cloth were also among Them
The latter was much Mortified at the remark

The Yankees near Richmond.

The latest and most reliable news we have
had Of the supposed Yankee advance upon
Richmond, is the following from the ENQUIRER
Of Monday:
The enemy landed at the White House on
Saturday in large fierce, and report saws that
Generals Dix and Peck, each with his staff
arrived there on Saturday evening. Our
scouts, who came up at a late hour on Satur-
day night, place the whele strength Of the
enemy, at the highest estimate, at TWENTY-FIVE
regiments, including. three regiments of ca
valry and sixteen pieces Of artillery. With
such force to attempt serious movements
against Richmond would be piece Of assn.
rance which we cannot believe even the Yam
KEGS are capable Of. It is unnecessary to state
the strength of Richmond in regular troon..
it is sufficient to know that fifty thousand Of
the enemy would find themselves easily dis
posed of upon having an engagement. The
call Tor the militia on yesterday, which was 50
nobly responded to. could not, we feel assured.
have been intended for any thing else than a
test, by which the real strength Of the COM
muHlty might be ascertained, and the authori-
ues De made acquainted with what thew
might count upon in an emergency. This
was, ut least, the sentiment which very foci-
bly, struck some Of the citizens when the local
events OF last evening gave them some ide
OF the strength OF our regular reserves. All
what time the emergency may arrive, which
VIII demand the assistance of our citizen SOL
dlery, is matter which must be left to de-
termlne itself; and, in the meantime, good
discipline and continued preparation should
not be neglected.
It was reported that an engagement occur.
ed some distance below Chains farm on
morning, in which Gen. D. HI. Hips
'orps attacked and defeated the enemy. No
onhrnatlon OF this report reached us. It'll
eemed, however, to be generally credited.
Our army more Immediately around Rich
nond was busy all yesterday in making pre-
aratlonsto receive the enemy, and are now
me condition in every respect, and per-
ectly confident in its ability to whip treble
ne force which the enemy is now said to pos.
ess.
No further demonstrations have been made
J the raiders since Saturday.

Murder.

We learn from the Athens Post, that Mr.. Mi
chael Baugh, Of Bradley county, Tenn, was
waylaid and murdered last week near Cleveland.
He was native Of Abingdon, but had been a
citizen of Tennessee fer many years, and at one
time represented Hawkins county in the Legis-.
laturs. The Post says that highway robbery
and murder are getting to be quite common oc-
currenses in East Tennessee.
