Perry will leave Lancaatcr C. 11., for Virginia, at an early hour on Monday rooming next, lie requests us to say, that he will convey packages to either of the compa. nies from this District, now in Virginia, which their friends may desire to send. All packages must be deposited at this place on Saturday next. All his recruits are requested too meet him here on Sunday evening, and all others who desire to join his company. The interesting letter of "Quince" has reached us too late tor this issue. It will appear in our next. We hope to hear from you often. We direct attention to tho advertisement in to'days paper, of Mr. F. McLarnon. His character as a business man is well known through) out the District. Give him a call and we doubt not but that he will give satisfaction * Death or a Volvntbea.?We regret to hear that Mr. Robert Craig, a member of the Lancaster Hornets, Capt. Vanlandinghatu, died at the Camp at Lightwood Knot, on Friday last, from the effects ol measles. Return Day.?Saturday last was Return Day for this District. The Clerk's Books show a Return ol about 85 cases. This. v? heli*v? Is near an average number Tor our District at the Fall Terui; but the cases generally are of but little consequence. Creditors, with few exceptions, evince, very properly, a disposition to forbear pressing claims at this time. The History of a Hook.?Mr. N. J. Hough has left at our office a book, which was taken j from a Yankee soldier at the battle of Mannss> ^ ?as Plains, and which he (tho Yankee) it seems had previously taken from a secessionist at ' Fairfax ; as the following written in pencil on the fly .leaf will explain : "Taken at Fairfax, Va., from a noted Secessionist, July 18, 1881." "Taken from a noted Abolitionist, July 21st, on the battle field at Bull Run, Va." Tableaux. The young Misses of tho Village will give an interesting entertainment for the benefit of the soldiers, at the Court House, on Friday evem ing next, Fricc of Admittance 25 cents. The object is certainly a most worthy one, . and will, we trust, meet tho liberal approbation of our citizens, generally. Surely tho lit* ' tie girls deserve credit for this manifest sym, pathy toward our voluuteers, and we feel satis* lied, that their exertions to contribute to their relief and comfort will be fully appreciated by all and every one. * Our Troops at Lightwood Knot. We are authoritativelv informed that Pol f. Dunovanl'a Regiment (in which is included the (wo Lancaster companies, the "Lancaster Hor, nets" and "Blair Guards,") is under marching orders to sotno point on our coast in the vicinity of Beaufort. They will probably leave this week. We are informed that there is considerable sickness in the camps, principally measles. In other respects the troops are getting on fiuely. From the Potomac.?The Richmond Examiner of a late date furnishes the following items ' of news from our army on the Potomac. "At a late hour Ia-^t night, intelligence was received at the War Department that our lines ol pickets along the Potomac bad (alien back, and preparations made for action, should the enemy offer it. Our scouts had reported large masses of the enemy moving on the Potomac. A general action was thought not unlikely, and ' to be indicated by the retirement ol our outposts, the intelligence of which is positive. Call for 80,000 Temmeisekans.?TheOov eminent of the Confederate States, through Gen, Albert Sidney Johnson, has called upon the Governor of Tennessee for the additional force of 30,000 troops for immediate active . service. The Governor has accordingly issued a proclamation, in which it is stated that "Volunteers for the war are greatly preferred, but will be accepted for the term of twelve months." Under the head of "Army and Navy News," the N. Y. Expreu says : "Recruiting for the regular army is nearly extinct, so far as New Yoik is concerned. The three old offices did .not book ten men last week, and those for the l new regiments were not much more successful" [FOR Till LANCASTER LRDOER.] The kind friends who are assisting me in the work of preparing clothing for the 1.1 .....i..

[roe nix Laucairaa Lxoeaa.] Brandy-more Caatia Hill, Ssp. 19. From the caption, it mif ht be inferred I that our camp and quarters have been located in some place of celebrity, with every convenience, comfort and atrength, strongly fortified, and "all that." 8ocn was true of Castles in olden times?soch might be supposed true of this, but beyond the name it is not so. It is tree, that it is a bill, with roeks just as nature arranged them, with a a running stream at the foot It is among the many romantic hills included in the original grant of laind to Lord Fairfax. In the arbecqnent conveyances, the name has been preserved. The present inhabitants rosy lax every ingenuity in vain to discover a fitness, an appropriateness between the place and the name?Brandy-wore Castle llill. Those who named it no doubt saw the aptness, the becomiaxnesa of the an puliation, but tho reuuo ban not bean left on record and the light of nature bow doe* not enable nts to discover it; however, U is Immaterial. The present occupants are the member* of the 9th Regiment. We found no Can. tie, houte, or other shelter or covering upon it, and we will leave it in the same situation. It is about seven miles from Alexandria on tho Rail Road from that city to lioeeburgh?about six miles In sn air lino to Washington?nearly two miles saat of r Falls Church?about two miles north of Maneon'e llill and ona mils from Upton i Hill, and aboot tho same or probably a lit- i I U . tie further from IliiU'a. This description will enable our friends to tind it. The Yankee forces know ita location already i and therefore they will not be enlightened i by the reading of this, if they should ever i see it. 1 therefore protest that I nm not vi. < olating nny of the army regulations in this I feeble description of Brandy-more Castle l llill Ueforo our ninrch to this place the i th had been frequently notified to prepare < for n move ; twice tho line of march had I been taken up and pursued for some (lis* < tnnco until u courier would meet us with < the news that our presence was not needed. < But on Saturday the 14th, as I have alrendy I on that morning informed your readers, the 1 order was extended to prepare for a move i at 12 o'clock. It was taken np with cheerfulness, the march commenced with two I days provisions in lluverdftcks, one blanket, t cnuteeu with tin cun. followed t?v the ?.n?r. t onb with twj days nddilionnl supplier It ( whs a tour day* picket set vice, no tents, 1 nary bed. We arrived at Fulls Church i about sun set and shortly afterwards at , Brandy.more Cnstlo Hill?distance about I twelve miles from Germnntown. The 6th, I Col. Winder's Regiment had preceeded us i four days, and were in possession of the I I * ill. The yth was sent to relievo Ihem? | they were glad to see us at.d equally glud i to be relieved. There is no fun in picket service, no beauty or poetry in blvouacing. It is hard, constant and dangerous work, and four days service is as much nn most persons desire for one instalment It is an ali day and all night business, requiring the moat constant vigilance. The enemy have adopted tho Indian mode of warfare, their scouts and pickets creep up, sneak up be hind the cover of trees and fences in the night, and (ire upon our men without nolice. Often the first intimation you have of thfir presence is the report of their gun and tho whizzing of the ball near your head A sneeze, or cough upon the post will indicate the position and it will be followed by a firo. To walk about is equally hazardous and will cause a fire. One of our men, Nathan Roberts, quite a youth, in Cupt Adams' company had gone from his post to get something to eat from a friend at a post near by, leaving others to guard and watch until his return?upon returning he was fired upon, the hall touching the chin and neck, giving him a painful but not dangerous wound. The 1-16 pnrt of an inch deeper would have touched the earotoed artery. He saw no enemy, heard none. Several of the "Greys" escaped only by a fow inches. Many were fired at and missed only by the breadth of the ball ; the brendth of the ball is literally not true, but it expresses the idea?barely a mias. Tho enemy too have guns with long rnnges ; they shoot at n great distance and are be yond the reach of our musketry. It is a great mistake to suppose they ull shoot badly, wide of the mark?-at least those who shot at our men were not. h is true only one of our men was hit, but many were so closely shaved that they could not laugh at the shooting, nod will not pro ( nounce them bad ahots. The enemies pickets and scouts were in the woods and thick- 1 ets outside of our lines, mostly concealed ' behind trees and lying down. It was only when they moved nbout that our men could see them and get a fire. Several were seen to stagger and fall after the fire of our men. Messra. Porter, White, I-angley, Kellar, John Williams, R. Perry and Milton Sad ler, of the Greys, each made one smite the earth after their fires. Whether they were killed or not could not be ascertained as the pickets were not allowed to go beyond their posts. Jaa. C. Huey also shot one ; ' he was near his post, was wounded and brought in ; the boll passing through above the collar boas. He died about twj hours afterwards. He was a stout young man, said be was from Vermont and had volun- 1 tecrrd for threo years ; appeared to be very ' good mettle. The last words he spoke , were, "Lord have mercy upon my soul."? He was carried on a litter from the post lie was wounded at to the camp, but died before reaching it ; he wus buried near by with his clothes and slices ou shortly after- ' wards. He gave his name, but his relatives ' and friends will never know his end. Eve ry attention was given him to ease his painful dyiog moments. His friends msy nev- ' r know it, but he was literally "welcomed ' with bloody hands to a hospitable grave." ' Our regiment obtained a good many shots, but at long ranges. It is thought nine were killed and as many wounded. A Hungarian was taken prisoner. He had only been in America two yeara and 1 spoke our language very imperfectly. He j was disposed to communicate freely, and did so through the assistance of a member of Capt. Cuutey's company, who spoke the German language. He said he belonged to ' a German Regiment 1040 atrong, stationed about three miles, with three American regiments, at a place on the aide of the Potomac, called Port DeKnlb. He was a book binder ; amid the war had thrown him out of employment ; appeared to be intelligent ( and educated ; represented the Lincoln ( forces on this side of the Potomac from 40 . to 50,000 with many trenches and breastworks, mounted with heavy artillery Our treatment soon gained bis confidence and be communicated freely. 1 scrutinized him closely and am disposed to believe ho told what he knew and as much as most prt- ( vales know of the movements of their ' army, no wan sent to Head quarter*, and I have heard thai Gen. Johnston regarded hia information aa very valuable, tie cor. | j roboratea aoiue thing* which we euppoaed lo exist. Ilia regiment wan in%the reaerve at the battle of Dull itun. A hearty laugh < waa enjoyed at many of hi* aayiuge and recital* of what had occurred. Munaon'a ia a high hill on the lurnpiko road from Falls Church to Alexandria, six miles from the latter and two froiu the for. mar place. We have it in possession. Just below, in sight, is Bali's cross road. To K[hl about two inilee is Mason's,anothh bill. Upton's is about one inile ide, nearer Washington. We have those also. From those hills the encampment of the enemy can be seen distinctly ; their flags are floating defiantly in the breeze. The Potomac is also visible and Ute boste peseing. The Cepitol with its majestie dome looms ap in full view. 1 have often visited the Cepitol In by gone days. I have gazed et its noble and imposing structure, admired it* superior architecture, viowod with livoly interest the many curiosities and works of art and science there to he seen. On this occasion I waa in sight, could only look at e distance, not visible. Tia aaid "distance lende enchant, ment to tbo view"?not so in this view.? The prosd and aoblo appearance which in by gone day#, it proeeetod to my oyo, waa i gone, A reckleae, unconstitutional and on principled majority had shorn it of its in- I tercet sod pride. I feel that I had no interest, no part or sharo was mioo. 1 kinder thought the Capitol presented a gloomy ! appearance?an appearance of sympathy for its fallan greatness. Of course the building is ignorant ot the state of the { country, but I could not hut think It reflected the true consideration of those who now control the destinies of the North? < doomed, doomed Is destruction nnerchy ' nod confusion. But I will not pursue ( those reflections further in this latter. It would not be in teste here, but 1 think 1 shell teke up the zubjeot again, probably after we get there?it would be more sp J | m propriato. From tho summit of Munion's hill tho pickets of th^ respective armies can be seen in the vale beneath, you can nee llieni fire at each other. On one evening we witnessed, it was guessed, the oxchange of about 200 shots. You could hear the pickets tongue lashing each other One of the federal's bawled out after the shot from tho musket of one of our men 'to aim higher and his ball would go further." One of our men hallowed to a fed eral, "why dont you shoot?that Lincoln was paving him eleven dollars per month to ihoot." Another federal picket who heard the expression replied?"It was a d?d lie, that ho onlv promised it but had not paid it." Col. James P. Adams, of Columbia, lias heen with our regiment since our arrival in this State. He has often ncted as aid to Dot II and also to Gen. Jones.

Ijee Victorious ! An Extra from the Norfolk Day Book, lated yesterday forenoon, reached us last I ?vening by the train from Norfolk, containng glorious tidings which we publish he. ow. The prisoners, of whom Mr Croc <ett is one. reached here by the sniue train, ind proceeded to Richmond. In a eonver- I nation with our reporter, they confirmed iho statements of tho Day Book. The *Exlra" of that paper nays We are informed by Mr. Henry D. Crockett, one of the prisoners taken at the bat Lie of Rich Mountain, who came up from Did Point yesterday afternooa, in the flag if truce steamer, that a severe battle had been fought in the West-rn part of the State, at the Big Sewe'.l Mountain, between Deneral Lee's ami Gen. Rosecrans' forces, ind that the latter had been defeated, and wua at Wheeling, Va., on Saturday last, mortally wounded ; and ihnt the whole Federal urmy was then on its retreat from the soil of Western Virginia. Mr. Crockett was formerly from Wnsa. ngton, I). C., where ho field a position in >ne of the Departments ns a Clerk. On the breaking out of tho war, lie let! the Feder il service and made his wny into Virginia, where he joined the 'JOth Virginia Regiment, und w as made a prisoner ni the hat tits ui men .Mountain. He informs us tlmt on his way from Culi umbos, Ohio, and while at Wellsville, in that .Stale, on Saturday last, he hud the news from the editor of a paper in that place, that the Federal army was then 10trenting from Western Virginia. That Ho ecruna had attacked Gee. late in his entrenchments on the Big Sewell Mountain, on Thursday last, and after a severe tight, was repulsed, nnd that he (Uoseerans) renewed the attack again on Friday, and fought all day long. Tho loss on the federal side was reported to him as very heavy indeed, whilst the Confederate loss was but trilling, owing to their being behind their entrenchments. Tire federal ariny was reported as retreating on to Wheeling nt that time, on their way out of Virginia On passing through Belair, about four miles front Wheeling, on the opposite side of the Ohio river, on Sunday night, Mr. Crockett and the returning Southerners, heard a confirmation of this news, together with the additional particulars tlmt Gen. itosecrans was then nt Winreling. mortally wounded. This was told him by a gentlemun in Belair, in wlmm he thinks he can place perfect conlidence,and whom he thinks was with our aide. Mr. Crockett also slates that he saw an account of this tight in the I'ut-burg Uispatch, of Monday morning, m which it was stated that the fight hud commenced by Itoaecraus attacking la-e, that Kosccruiis had been repulsed, and that they were lighting agaiu the next day and reinforcements were then coming up for l?ee, and would reach him before the tight was over. lie was not at liberty to bring u paper through.

Gen Reynolds, who, with a force 5,000 Ohio troops, has recently occupied ('heat .Mountain, began his march towards Staunton, with a view of taking that place, lie soon encountered Gen. Henry R. Jackson, who, with his brigade of 2.50(1 Georgians, was strongly cntrenchu I on the Greenbrier River. Reynolds immediately led bis force to the attack. Toe tight thai ensued was a hot one, lusting during lour hours. After repeated assaults upon our position, the enemy was finally repulsed with groat slaughter.
