headquarters. Mr.. Seward was &C ceOmp3nicd by
his wife, and his eldest son, Mr.. Frederick VII
liam Seward, Assistant Secre ary Of State, and
few private friends, who sought and oO'alued
opportunity 20 visit the seat Of war under the
protection of the chief member OF the Cabinet.
The party were r,c'iyedby MAJOR Genc,al Butt
Ter and staff with that marked freedom and cor
diality for which they are distinguished. lt may
be remarked that the field Is scarcely the retog-
nizcd home Of beiittIng hOspitalitY where tke
graces and amenities of dignIdod society ind
their great and most opposite play, especially
when the sofening presence OF woman Is in-
volved; still il is within the courts OF these milf
tary headquarters, II anywhere on this scene of
war, that a cabinet minister and powerful
diplomat, seeking genuine relaxation from the
absorbing cares OF the State, can end that happy
admiXture Of repOse, relieved by delicate excite
mtnt, which, TO speak after the manner OF the
medicine men, renews the body and rCireshes the
mind.
The movements Of the party were similar 10
those that marked the recent visit OF the presi-
dent Of the United States and the Senatorial
party who followed him, IN their respects 10 the
Major-Geneml commanding the department.
They were escorted under the most brilliant
auspices around the lines; were the recipients
OF becoming military salute, OutwIrdly, and an
cpicurean lunch inwardly and were witnesses OF
all the accompaniments Of war. The Appearance
OF Mr.. Seward, pcre, was far more robust than.I
had expected to find it. He was erect, quick, and
graceful in his movements aud evidently came
down to us with keen eye and car for al that
was TO be seen and heard.
The private interview between the Secretary
OF State and MaiOr-Generll Butler was u pro-
lOnged and doubtless most significant one. /
am sufficiently apprised of the character of the
interview 20 be able to say that any statement of
what transprcd between the civil and military
statesmen would be 10 the last degree contra
band. Mr.. Seward returned TO Washington by
special steamer last evening.
There is nothing new in military affairs TO re-
licyc the monotony of the last twenty hours.
The usual firing was heard at long intervals in
the direction OF Deep Bottom throughout yestcr-
day. It's significance was slightly. y. Herald.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Early's forces on
Sunday last moved through the Gaps into the
Shenandoah Valley, and defeated Averill, Crook,
and Mulligan's forces, together with portion of
Hunters army, all Of whom the enemy largely
outnumbercd.
Yesterday they occupied Martinsburg and
moved down towards Harper's Ferry, but this
morning no intelligence Of their invading Merry
land again has come to hand.
Important movements of troops have been
made that are not likely to permit repetition
of the last raid.
The heaviest losses are said to have been in
Averilrs command in the battle of Sunday.
The rumored death of Colonel Mulligan is not
yet fully confirmed. Hunter is at Harper's
Ferry and says he knows nothing positive about
1t. This daring Rebel movement is evidently
made upon the idea that our forces are with
drawn.
There is good reason now to believe that
Early's force win not cross in this movement
into Maryland. They may invade Pennsylvania.

Mn. EDIroR AS / was one Of the Com
mite appointed to procure Montgomery town
ships quota of men, / deem it due to myself
and those whom / represented to make a state
ment of what 1 did.
1 started from here en- Thursday afternoon
went to Mansfeld-there found L. JEFF
SPRENGLE just over from Wooster reporting
men at two hundred dollars and upwards
There / gave him $500 dollars-all 1 carried
with me from Ashland. At Mansfield we pro
cured two men, one at S155, and one at $40
Two had been procured at Wooster at Sl85
each. At eleven o'clock We started for Co
lumbus, and arrived there at three o'clock in
the morning Next morning we soon found
the men could be procured, but at pretty high
figures. We went to work at once-I secured
from my old company the following men at
$50 each Fred Rush, John Anderson, Eliza
Beam, Robert Presler, Thomas Hursberger,
Fred Weidman. These / saw mustered and
paid $3.50 each. Being short of funds they
held eur check for $50 and 100 dollars. Then
we procured from the 21st Ohio 80 men whose
names I have not, at $40 each. The mus
tering officers certificate of credit I passed to
SpRENaLE. These with a credit found on the
books made us 43. or A men, exclusive of
what j. j. JACOBS might have obtained at
Lima. This brings us down to Friday night,
and after having telegraphed to JACOBS at
Lima and w. A. RoLLER at home, how many
men JACOBS had, and received no reply up
to 10 o'clock Saturday morning. I concluded
it would not do to procure any more men,, and
proposed to SPRENGLE to remain and / weuld
proceed home at once and ascertain how our
matters stood, and accordingly started on the
eleven O'Clock train and arrived homo at six
that night and found we had too many men
and w. A. ROLLER had already ordered
SPRENGLE to transfer 16 men to Milton town
ship. From that time up to the present, / am
not prepared to give any statement, as l have
no means of knowing what men SRENGLE
transferred or what he may have paid for other
men subsequently placed to our credit. But
this I do know, that the Al men paid Tor cost
S7075. Seven thousand and seventy-fve dol
lars in the aggregate, or an average of $l72 so
per man. Now had We known how many men
JACOBS had obtained, we could have made
the transfer for just our surplus ren and come
home still on Saturday. But this l could not
do hence this delay. My report has been
ready as far as / could make one, ever since I
arrived home from Columbus. My expenses
from the time 1 left home until I returned
AGAIN was S2s, s. Charges are made freely
against SPRENeLE for specializing in men and
money out of Montgomery Township.
Up to the time l left him at Columbus, he
gave his undivided attention to getting the
men without seeking to curtail the men one
cent. Any parties wishing, can write to the
parties in order to satisfy their unbelief. So
far as { am concerned l had rather have a few
of these spaniels barking at me than not.
Respectfully yours,
D.. 8. SAMPSEL.
