The learned and impartial editor of the Ma
t'ondl Intelligencer devotes seven columns to an
exhaustive discussion Of the ARGUELLEs case,
and concludes as follows -" In the case of
ARGUELLEs the executive has assumed all the
authority which by the constitution is distrib-
uted among the treaty making power, the law
making power and the judiciary. Without
treaty, without law, and without judicial action
the executive has assumed to do what only all
three combined could lawfully empower him
to do"

the main line Of works, capturing eight
pieces ofartillery; Elated by their success
they marched steadily forward, confident
Of being able to capture our works, as
vel; as the Yankees who occupied them,
but they reckoned without their host
When they had arrived in plain view
their colors gaily flying, orders were CIV
en-: ''let them have it boys" and in the
face of a deadly fire they advanced with
in twenty-five yards of our works, when
they broke and ran completely whipped.
immediately the Brigade jumped over
the works and followed them three miles,
but they were satisfied of their inability
to make respectable fight, consequently
never rallied The Brigade rested within
three miles Of the city. The morning of
the 9Th, the Cavalry relieved us and We
returned to our Old position. In walking
over the grouud I counted fifty dead,
their wounded numbered at least four
hundred, and prisoners two hundred and
fifty.

were burned Since came into the Valley
from Harper's Ferry, every train, every
small party and every straggler, has been
bushw hacked by the people, many o:
whom have protection papers from COM
manders who have been hitherto in that
valley.
! have not been followed by the enemy
to this point, with the exception of a
small force of rebel cavalry that showed
themselves some distance behind my rear
guard to-day. ..i
A party ofone hundred of the 9th Ohio
cavalry, which l had stationed at the
bridge over the north Shenandoah near
Mt. jackson, was attacked by McNeal
with seventeen men, while they were
asleep, and the whole party dispersed or
captured. think they will all turn up.
l learn that fifty six of them had reached
Winchester. McNeal was mortally wound
ed and fell into our hands. This was
fortunate, as he was the most daring and
dangerous of all the bushwhackers in this
section of country.
