Camden, November l, lS6I.-Th
Yankees claim that in the fight be-
tween Sheridan and Longstrret, at
Cedar Creek, that they captured over
fifty pieces Of artillery. This includes
the number captured from them in the
early part of the engagement-twen'y
pieces. Thirty pieces our own loss.
They claim to. have captured 1900
prisoners. Confederate papers admit a
loss of only five guns and twelve wagons.

One reason why we would like to
have Lincoln succeed in; the election is
that it would make Andrew johnson
Vice President. He is so unspeakably
hateful to every man i'll Tennessee who
ever had any southern proclivities that
IT would destroy all Union feeling in
that State amongst the weak kneed, and
have some similar effect wherever he
might be known. But in case of Lin,
coins death, the benefit would be still
greater. He would prove himself ia
power, such truculent, low, and dis
gusting tyrant, that ho would arouse
every man, woman and child in the
south, and excite the gorge of the civil
lied word We know him well. He
hates every man who wears clean shirts
habitually, and uses good grammar, or
lives i'll a brick house. He hates a slave
owner with still bitterer hatred One
look at his low terrier like features is a.
good as dose of epicac. But he is
wthall man of splendid abilities, gre
courage, and unfaltering purpose. Re
construction would be no more heard of

would have attributed the deep and earn

FROM GEN. PRIcE.-Sincc sitting up
the dispatches transmitted t. us from
Camdel, we have received file of
northern papers, and have been per
picking our brain, over the mass in the
endeavor to make out Of them some con-
sistent account of their version Of the
state Of affairs in Missouri On Wed
nesday the 18th ult Blount was driven
ont ef Lexington, and fell back fourteen
miles to Napoleon City. The enemy
say they lost about forty-a very ride
ulous assertion considering their repre-
sentation of the bravery and stubborn
ness of the defence. From this point
Blount continued to retreat westward
to the banks of the Little Blue. ten miles
east of Independence.
Later Intelligence represents that on
the 2lst Blount continued his retreat To
the Big Blue eight or ten miles west Of
Independence. On the 23d CARTS dis
patcheti-to st. Louis az follows:
al have been pressed all day, and this
afternoon the enemy passed around my
right flank, when gave him heavy
blows for several hours | have heard
firing i'll the east, and just received y
messenger from Plcasantou who is fight
ing on the other SIDE
That is in Prices rear towards Inde-
pendence, placing Price between two
fires. In this retreat of Blount, some of
the Federal accounts say that he lost all
his artillery twelve miles from icxing
ton. Others deny it. Blount's forces were
the advance of Curtis, whom he seems
to have jpued at or near the Big Blue
In the retreat on the 2lst between In
dependence and Big Blue there seems
to have been considerable fighting.
On Saturday the 2.I. they say that
Price forced a crossing Of the Blue at
Byron's ford. A portion of the State
Militia fought near Pickhow's Mills, and
were forced to retreat To Sliavneetown
The main body of Militia moved to Kan
sas City where head quarters then were.
These are the events alluded to in Cur
It's dispatch. Prices main body crossed
Byron's ford, and he was pressing for
ward in three columns The Federals
admit consider able" loss. At sundewn
shey received a message from Pleasan-
ton. to the effect that he had driven the
enemy (our forces) from Independence,
and was Lotly pursuing Price with 20
900 men. 1t was during this days en-
gagement that they say "the notorious
guerrilla Todd was killed. Next day,
(Suaday the 23d) they claim to have
defeated and entirely routed Price. We

THE FIGHT IN THE EALLKY.-At
length we are enabled to obtain some
tolerably reliable notion of the late battle
between Sheridan and Early. We have
read the report of Sheridan, and heard
of that of Early, but have not as We. met
with it.
Putting both together, we conclude
that it was a grsat disaster to the Fede-
rails. and that their rejoicings over it arc
gotten up just at this time for political
effect. This army was surprized, routed,
and driven with immense loss. They
have never put it at less than 5000. 1t
was no doubt much heavier In this
condition it vas met by Sheridan, who
was returning from Washington City.
He succeeded in rallying his men, and
then occurred one of those scenes the
history of which we Will always blush TO
read. Our forces instead of retaining
Their discipline, and pressing the enemy
to a more than Manassas rout, as was
now completely in their power, scattered
and betook themselves to plumber. Some
say that many of their officers were
drunk upon.ithe apple brandy in which
the valley abounds. General Sheridan
turned upon them in this condition, and
they fed back, scattered and dsorgan-
lied, losing many wagons and pieces Of
artillery, but few men. The enemy
claim TO have taken 1000 prisoners, but
say they could not guard them in the
rear, and many escaped.
Early's army took its old position, hut
slightly injured. The loss was in prop
erty.
The enemy are5the worst hurt, but it
is a sad lesson to us of the necessity of
good morals in the soldier. Without
this high toned feeling Of principle and
duty this splendid victory has eluded
their grasp. Not so with our army at
Mansfield and Pleasant Hill.

at Brownsville. Gen. Drsytou, and Gen.

The San Ant t)nio Herald says:
The French are now thoroughly estab-
lished at Matamoras; and the good effects
Of permanent and friendlJ. government

The French officers and soldiers take cve-
ry occasion to manifest their friendship
for our people, and to give the cold shoul
der to the Yankees. Upon arriving at
Matamoras they complimented the Coufed-
crate flag with hearty salute, while they
passed BY the Yankee fag in silent con

THE NORTHERN AUTUMN-We said
in the beginning, and have continued to
say, and still insist, that our true hope
of success lies in wearing the enemy out
by united. active, and unremitting re-
sistance, or aggression when prudent,
until they shall be compelled to desist
and recognize our right to self govern
ment. Our trust in this has never fall
tered, and never will, under any local
reverses, as long as we remain united,
aud determined upon total Independence
And it is our oaly salvation. Hence we
have been so fearful of the relaxation of
efforts which would almost surely follow
the election of a new dynasty at the
North. Now we have certainty against
Lincoln. There is no human probability
that he will be able to continue the war
for the next four years. Our powers of
duration are unlimited
The signs of decay are now as mani
fest at the North as the signs of the fall
upon our autumn leaves. Listen to the
wall of the New York Herald. The ter
rible picture, ghastly enough now, will
grow more hideous still as they perse-
we're in their hellish designs. Be sure
that the Lord he is God, aud rules over
the destinies of nations; and that crimes
always bring on the sure destruction of
their authors. The Herald says:
ave see mountains of corpses and
oceans of blood. We see our ships swept
from the ocean and our commerce dead
We see our currency debased to paper,
and our debt rising to financial Alps.
We see ourselves degraded to fifth-rate
power, and the world swapping its fingers
IN our face. We see Europe laying vio-
lent hands upon the American continent.
We see sister Republic outraged, while
we are powerless to hel lp her, and fo-
reign throne erected upon our very bor-
aers. We see the stars torn from our flag,
and the bastard bars Haunting defiantly
ever traitors in arms. We see our inHu-
enee dsriced. and onr name by word
