A Fight ia a Church.

The capture of the Captain and portion of
the crew of the United States gunboat Rat
tier, who had gone ashore at Rodney, Miss,
to attend church, has been noticed. The MIS-
s'sspp'am gives some further particulars of the
scene:
41ieus. Allen, of Logans command, having
been informed that the crew of the gunboat at
Rodney were in the habit of attending church.
determined to try an experiment. Dressing
himself in citizens garb he lcisurely sau'ntcrcd
into town last Sunday, and had the pleasure of
finding some twenty-five of the Yankee officers
and men, dressed in their best toggcry, snugly
seated in the quiet and unsuspcctng congrega-
tlon. With this Information he left town, and
soon returned in command of squad of men :;
he entered the church, and apologzed to the
preacher for having to disturb him for a few
moments, stating that he had called to de-
mand the surrender of the United States SOL
d'crs in the congregation. Instantly the cngi-
neer of the gunboat jumped behind the door
and fired on Lieut.. Allen, the ball passing
through his cap. Allen returned the fire, and
sent the engineer to his long home. A general
scattering and firing cnsued, resulting in killing
TWO Yankees and wounding another. and in
the capture of Captain Ventress, of the gun
boat, one Lieutenant and fifteen men, saw
them late that night on their way to Logan's
camp. This is certainly one of the incest lit
tie episodes of the war, and was managed with
great coolness and courage, our men not re-
celving so much as scratch.

From the Army or Northcrn virginia.

The long-taIked-of forward movement Of
Gen. Leo has been at last begun. The army
of Northern Virginia is north of the Rapidan,
in hot pursuit of the Grand Army of the Po-
tomac, which has fallen back from culpeppcr
Court house, and is in rapid fight for Manas-
sas or Arlington. Meade may make stand
at the Rappahannock, but this is not regarded
as probable. His army, not numerically very
strong, mastering not over fifty thousand mus
kcts, is weak as regards the elements of which
it is composed, there being in it large pro-
portion of recent and most unwilling conscripts
and rc-capturcd descrters.
1t would be UNIV se at present to give even
such meagrc particulars of our plans and move
mcnts as have come to our knowledge We
may, however, say that Ewcll's corps is in the
advance, with General Edmund Johnsons d-
vision as a vanguard.
The coming week will be one of great aetivi.
ty with General Lee, and doubtless also with
his antagonist, whether he accepts or declines
battle. 1t he has determined to run, no tor
toisc pace will avail him. He must fly, and we
may expect to hear of great quantities of stores
burnt and much baggage thrown away.-RicA-
mond. Eramincr.

InlprossncNt.

So far there has been no impressmcnts made
in our District; although we observe com
plants have tccn made of the injustice and
abuses in other portions of the State We
can answer for Kcrshaw with pride and plea
sure, that she has done her duty in furnishing
men for the field, hands to work on the fort,-
tations and corn and fodder at lower rates than
almost any other district of the State. Should
it therefore be deemed necessary to resort to
the disagrceabIc duty of impressmcnt amongst
people who has exhibited the disposition that
ours have, to uphold and strengthen the govern
ment, we trust it will be put into hands who
can exercise sound discretion in this delicate
matter. We learn from our Tax Collector,
Major A. M. KENNEDY, the feeling of our peo.
pie, SO far as meeting the acquisitions of the
Confederate War Tax, has been quite eratifv-
ing. Every disposition is manifested to COM
ply with the law. There may be few skulk-
ers, but they are the exceptions.

ATLANTA, Oct. l2.-The President reviewed
the army and the works before Chattanoooa
on Saturday. He also had an excellent oppor.
tun'ty to scan the enemy's position, of which
he availed himself fully. His reception by the
troops was enthusiastic. He rode along our
entire lines, within reach of the enemv's shells.
Not gun was fired by the enemy, though the
Yankees lined their works at every available
point to view what was going on. They were,
doubtless, aware of the presence of the Presi-
dent, as the hostile pickets frequently converse
together.
