The New Line Of the Army Of tho Pc
t0mae.
Washington, Oct. IA.

Washington, Oct. IA.
A special to the World says it is gene
rally believed our army will take up for
the time position with its centre resting
on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad,
at about Catletts Station. Falling back
to this point has been for some time
talked about, if not determined at head
quarters.
A recent engagement on the Rapidan,
in which regiment OF New York cav
airy was SO badly cut up, and large por.
ton of the l23d New York infantry taken
prisoners, illustrates the inexpediency OF
so long front as the line of the Rapidan
obliged the army to maintain.
Catlett's Station is some distance this
side of Warrenton Junction, near which
Gen. Meade had his headquarters previ-
Gus to the late advance to Culpe7per.
The Herald's Washington dispatch
says it is not true as reported in several
New York papers, that the Government
has any intention of resorting to volun-
teering, instead Of drafting. 1t is true
conscrlpton has not realized as mau Y
men as was expected, and it has besides
proved very costly, but now the machine
ry is in working order all over the North,
the Administration believe it the easiest
way to procure men.
Military authority, after all has been
said, are still of opinion the draft is the
cheapest and most expeditions means OF
securing an army, and besides distributes
more evenly the burdens Of the war
among the white people. 1t will. there
fore be persisted In.

About three o'clock in the afternoon four
more wooden gunboats came up and took
a position at long distances and opened
on Sinnter. The latter made little or no
response scarcely deeming them worthy

land battery at the foot of Craig's Hill
renewed its fire on Fort Sumter, our bat

FROM THE VALLEY.

From various sources of information
sre are assured that the Valley country is
now unoccupied by the Yankees, and that
lhe people once more breathe the air Of
freedom The only Federal force we
hear of is a report that they have a small
body at Martinsbimg, on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, which road perhaps
the Government is rebuilding. One state
nent represents that our forces extend
as low down as Shepherdstown, but this
We are satisfied is uniOundcd. a Yam
kcc force of infantry and cavalry, esti-
mated at from two to three thousand, is
on the South Branch, in Hardy county,
and n short time since they were press
lny horses, from which the inference is
drawn that they contemplate raid.
The crops Of corn and grass in the
Valley are said to be excellent, scarcely
ever surpassed in that productive region.

other restOratives, by which means he was
soon restored to consciousness. A ply

his left leg was broken, one Of his ears nearly
torn from his head, and there was severe
confusion on the right side of his face, i'm

DEATH from Dissipation. of
the Powhatan Hotel all remember venera-
bic goat Of the male persuasion which stood
sentinel at the back porch-a most remarka-
bic animal, that took his chew of tobacco,
knocked small boys down the steps, and in
other ways initiated that noble animal, man.
Recently he acquired the habit of taking his
tod and would go up every morning to a
bOarder's room, where he was welcome, and
take his morning invigorator If his friend
did not get up to do the honors the goat
would testify his displeasure by pulling off
the bed clothes and butting things around
generally He would often get so tight that
he would fall down stairs. Of course this
reckless life on the part of respectable
goat could have but one termination, and
that was death, and Billy, taking that view
of the case, laid down on Saturday and yield
ed up his life in quiet and gentleman like
manner. His spirit fed to that goat recep-
tacle of goats where there is very little to-
bacco and no toddy. The chief mourners
on the occasion We're q one-eyed rooster and
terrier The former took a brief but melan-
choly survey of the defunct, and went on
chasing grasshopper that was making a
living in the vicinity. Such is life.

The Morton Miss correspondent OF the At
lanta Appeai, writing on the Sth inst, gives
the following account of a fiendish murder
perpetrated recently by the Federals upon
the person Of a young married lady near the
city of Natchez:
A Yankee lieutenant and two private sol
diers entered the house of the party deceased,
who, in the absence of her husband, was the
only occupant of the place, demanding
where her husband was concealed. She re-
fused to tell him, and at the same time asked
what they wanted with him. The Yankee
officer told her that what they wanted with
him was their business and none OF hers, and
said that he would give her three minutes to
reveal the whereabouts of her husband, and
il she did not do SO in that time he would
take her life She refused peremptOrily,
when, the time having expired, the murderer
deliberately took Oft his scarf, and with the
assistance of his men hung her up by the
neck in her own house, and left her in the
agonies OF violent death She was after
wards cut down 10y her friends, but life had
long since been extinct. The gentleman
who relates this herrible, strange, foul, and
unnatural murder, is now in this town, and
is an old citizen of Natchez, having edited
at one time weekly journal in that city
He says he saw the dead body aiterit was cut
