Hu6tSr, the Ryena.

OF all the wild besss that Ito war has yet thrown
upOn the soil of Virginia. and Heaven knows they have
hen many the epauletted sccundrel Hunter, who ia
now assipg from Lyuchburg through the mountains Of
Rootourt Allegheny and Greenbrier, seems to be the
most uBredeemed aud indspuable. We blush to know
that h. was whipped in this State though reared upon
the more cOngenal soil OF Ohio. His chief of staff ia
an apOsAte VFginAn Dave StrOthsr the picture maker
and trash writer Of the Harpers OF New York. Hunter
is besOtted and rancOrOu, fauatic as crazy abOl
zionist as Garrison and as erocou1 and heArtless as
the best phlAnthrOpiss of that school: WhGther he
possesses courage is than proclamation ance MS
precpitate fight a. the first show Of anything like Tor
nidable resistance from the time he lsft Winchester
but that he il vile, malignant and Vndictve wretch Is
shown BY his cruelty to the helpless along the whole
track of his vanda march. The most wanton asd saw
age destruction of private property and the most cold
bocded murder of private citizens have been cOntinu-
ing incidents of his robber ncursion. 1t would be one
of the most satisfactory events Of the war if he should
fall into the hands of the determined aud paiu-deang
General who is on his track We strongly incline to the
opinion that be would get "IeIas iurlough." The
murderer oi Oreigh and White and others should be
dealt with as murderer, in spite Of all the nam6y-
panby about Christian Wsrare-wih the difference only
suggested by the incendary use he has made of the
orch that instead of being hung he should be chained
to stake and burnt.

General Sherman reports under date OF halfpast
o'clock yesterday evening (l9h) that he was mistaken
in announcing that Johnston had rereated across the
Ohatahoochee river. He had simply thrown back bis

tanks resting Moses Creek. The Federal troops
pressed him close Yesterday but the continued rains
