'Tfrsvery of the Rebel Troops." 0
The rankees, as will be seen by the foK n
lowing, are sometimes compelled, againaif *
tbair wHlffo"j^li. The subjoined ^
article from its special correspondent appeared
in the Cincinnati Inquirer of An- .
gust 4? .
The rebel army made two attacks, one
from the right and one from the left; both ^
one on th&rigbtr was by far the shortest,- ,w
but the most magnifioent.* Alter driving 03

/. t- --->. ; r oi
to attempt to convey a. realizing seuac ui
whakthe words "being sheljed" mean. All
at onee tbeTwmbaFding ceased, and an ominops
silence'ensued. From experience we ^
knew what was coming and anxiously gazed .
at the 'woods to see from what point they g*
would emerge. JSvety, nerve was'braeed gI

of human baiags^apd in another moment a ^
long steady line advanced firmly and qofcV
into the open space. What .daring! What w'
madness 1 Infantry charging batteries at a fE
distance of half s mile over a level plain (
raided by. nearly forty catmon. 'Throwing *
aside all aid Jrcvm their own cannon sad
cavalry, they desperately formed in the
open plain, and pitted themselves against
our infantry, cannon aod cavalry. ' It Wis
sublime?and forgetful of all else save their '
boundless courage and daring, I swung my

The moment fchey^boveujsight, twelve ^
Parrot gnns and four large howitzers iegan _j
the dreadful work ofdeath. aod destruction} ^
covered with dhst, Whole companfeSJ aia'it 0?
were;'going down at every discharge, ' thej^
can Don playing quicker -awl faster; still t"j,
they eloped "tfceir shattered ranks, and j
advanced farther ahd farther into this awful
aich of certain death; shot and shell,
canister and grape, mowed them 4ownf yet, ^
firmly as ever did the veterans of Napoleon, C6
they adwwed and faltered not, Already
the remnant had reached, so near that the ^
load clear topes of the officers could be dis- ^
tinotly - beard, the4 batteries seemed m
doomed. Thousands - were killed hot ban- K
d rods'sarvive.d. The guns wen doomed. m
I held my breath, when lo l right from nq- fc
der their faces in the Jqug grass came a ted- jj,
ley from oar gallaDt men, whoop to that j,,
time had lain concealed in a little ravine}
or rather ditch. Flesh and blood could
stand.so mere. They broke and fled, and ej
oar men-lay down again, while the terrible g
oannon hurled destrootion into the fleeing p
mass. Three-fourths of that brigade were w
left on that field-ind all I hare related did
not oooupy more than ten minutes. It,must 8{
be confessed that their disr pline equals ^
ours, if it is tot superior, and braver men q
than thni*'officers dgnot live.- This, talk
about the rebels not fighting is played out. w
In fliet, 4he whole North has been hum- ^
bogged with stupendous falsehoods concern- ^
ing the South. Why should they not light g;
as well as we ? Are they not one and the 01
same ? This system of misrepresentation
has gone far enough.
We were wbipp^at Gaines' Mills, and ?<
our army a rabble- The oavalry appeared ^
ou our right and appeared anxious to charge
on the bridge in our 'rear. They ooold
have done it easily. Then the whole army tj
VinrrQ Kaati mined and the Snnth^rn r>
Confederacy a fixed feet. It was the most e]
critical moment of tbe battle or the war. t|
A beaten army, a bridge and morass in the r
rear, a stampede, add to that a charge by t{
three thousand cavalry on the bridge, and ai
any one may see the terrible result. To j,
Col. Berdan is dne tbe most of the credit p
of saving the army. Rallying the men,
forming a nucleus, he began to inspire them g
with the idea that all was not lost. Still e,
they wavered. Officers and men were forced ?
into the ranks; others,assured by the oolo- n
nel, assisted* him in the terrible stroggle, t]
not to win' the ds^ bat to save the army. ^
At length eleven Hnea were formed, and at 0
this critical juncture theq^valry appeared
on our right. They bad Bofc seen our rout, ^
and supposed tbe lines mere reinforcements, p
They were not decided, and appeared to be a
calculating the chances. On tbeir deoision 0
depended the fate of everything. Colonel j]
Berdan seeing this, ordered an aid to the a
rear and galloped up announcing that Rich- t]
motd was. taken. He did so, and the effect e
was magical. The men cheered, flags were! e
waved, and the cavalry, thinking our whole 8l
army was there, halted, and we were saved. c
When tbrey afterward learned from prison- 0
era tbe real state of the case their mortifies- ^
tion was excessive. Gen. Morell thanked D
Col. Berdan, and gave him the credit of T
having saved the army a9 he indeed had f
done. ' c
It was the tnrniDg point. Generals in d
"the front could not have seen it. Luckily^ I
Col. Berdan jvas equal to the emergency, c
t is impossible, to portray the efforfreijuito

aable to learn. Our loss in the fight of t
iturday is loosely estimated at ten thoos- c
id men. -The enemy's is thought to be
mble that.number. Oar informant says 1
I at the two miles over which we punned
ie enemy were red with dead and wounded ^
ouaves. took several thousand pris- ?
lers, all of whom are said to have been 1
iroled the next inojaing, and allowed to 6
oceed through our HobS to WaahiogtoB: I
moDg-these prisoners were some raw re- c
aits who had only been in the-service ten c
tys. Our informant thinks the forces of f
e enemy out-finmbered us two to one:?- *
he enemy retreated towards the Potomac *
i the direction of Occoquan. J
The following glowing version of the
ittle is given by the Lyaqhborg ftepttbli- *
iii) of yesterday : t
Bat few additional particulars of the bat t
a on Saturday last, upon the plains'df J
[anassas, were received last night. That >
ir victory was a most signal one, and the 1
mt of the enemy total and complete, ad- i
its of no doubt. But that this glorious i
suit was atfcairted ai.a fearful cost of life ?
id the Joss of many of the noblest and t
caveat spirita of the Southern army is, alas, -i
it to true.
On the side of the ^nerny, Gen.MoDow- \
1 is said to be mortally wounded, Gen.

ope "and McCleHan are also ' reported 1
ounded, but Ve know not with what truth.
Our lSbes in the fight of Saturday, it is c
ipposed, will reach at least ten thousand, 1
id of these, three thousand were killed,
ur informant, an officer who participated
i the fight, says the ground was covered
ith the dead. In pianyplaces they lay .in 1
eap?, and in one particular spot, in an 1
pen'field, through winch our men charged (
pon a battery of the enemy, he could walk, tf
?er the dead for "the space of fifty yards. J
One the enemy's side, the losses,are sup- '
osed to be at least twice as great as ours, ~
sclusive of prisoners, whom the officer a- j
ove'mentioned thinks did not exceed four j
lonsand, taken during the fight, though
icy were being captured each moment in
ieir flight. - He was in the battle of the ]
let of July, and describes the rout of the {
iemy on Saturday as far more disastrous
lau that. Our cavalry charged them at eve
f step in their retreat, and slaughtered
lem until it beoarne a butchery. Night put (
a end to the bloody scene, and our men
ivouacked in the open field to renew the |
ureuit on Sunday morning.
The retreat of the enemy, was being ured
towards Luray, every other avenue of 1
scape being out off. But little ebanoe, it
as thought, .was open to them ou the
lute, and oar informant thinks that before
ais, in all probability, the army of Pope
as ceased to exist, and the larger portion
f it is killed or oaptured.
The number of cannon captured was un- (
er-estimated yesterday. It is stated that (
'ope bad about one hundred and fifty guns, (
nd it is not thought that be saved twenty, j
t tbem. ?bey, However, were many qi
bem rendered unfit for use before being
bandoned by the enemy. The whole bat*
!e Held was strewed with small artUB of
very description, and overcoats and blank* (
ts almost innumerable. The fight, as we
tated yesterday, was near the Sudley ,
hurch, and nearly npon the same ground
f the memorable conflict of last year.?Vhen
our informant loft, on Satdrda/
light, having been wounded, our meu were
n glorious spirits, and there was not one
rho did not anticipate that before the week
losed, the last of the invaders would be
Iriven from our State, and our victorious
Bgions be pouring into Maryland, to reside

A Word to Conscripts.
It has become fashionable to imagine
hat there is something diagraoefol in being
t conscript, and the boys by the wayside
sonaider that'they, fcave full license ta scoff
tnd jeer at an enrolled squad on its way to
i camp of instruction. We award that
mspeakable admiration and gratitude,
vbich is his dae, to the volunteer who so
>allantly and spontaneously rushed to the
cattle field at the call of his country's need;
3ut we are not disposed to think that there
ire none among the conscripts..who are not
is brave and patriotic as ho. There are
nanyr?who. shall say not a major: proporion
??-among the conscripts whose hearts
ire as fully in their country's cause, ana
vho would as fearlessly battle for it as any
rolunteer, but who have not engaged In
he war simply for the reason that their
private obligations and the necessities of
.heir dependants, rendered it absolutely
mpossiblc for them to do so without sac ifices
which they had no moral right to
nake and without reducing helpless per*
tons, looking to tbem for snpport, to want
ind suffering. Their consciences would
lot allow them to abandon their individual
obligations, and they felt that when their
jountry imperiously required their services,
t would call for them in such a manner
hat they would be obliged to go, and all
he responsibility of abandoning what made
hem feel it neoessary for them ta stay at
home until the last moment, would rest
mm* tYia onrArnmflni and nnfc nnnn their
*fuu ?~ e>~ 1 r

mduri the severe trials that they can make
up their minds to bearoheerfully if obliged

We are reminded in this conQeotion of
Scott's reference in <jMarmion" to the feudal

Affairs in New Orleans.
We were gratified this moving by a call
from thr. Cartwright, of New Qrleats. The
Doctor-left New Orleans last Sunday, and
is stopping' awhile" in our city,'at the Bowman
House. He furnishes. US' wjkbebme
interesting "particulars of the terrible fourtality
pf the Yankee troops in N. Orleans.
The second week in lAugwt, the mortality
among the-Yanked regiments, accdrdingto
their qwu showing; wag as follows:
Massachusetts,,... ?M par week.
Mai'aeiV.%.. ..riper week;
Vermont 10 per week;
Indiana. .8 per week.
Total t...42 per week.
The entire mortality in the city the,same
week^deddeting the above,. wa's-158".
The averoge mortality of the city at this
season of tim" year, is from 150 to. 200 per
week in. a. population of '150,000 The.
loss of the Yankee regiments, namely 42
per weekj^would give at least 40,000 men,
'( taking the average . mortality aa a criteria
onjwhcras this mortality instead of bSiog
due to upwards of 40,000 individuals is
due to less than 6,000. .'Massachusetts;
Maine, Vermont and Indiana hare not got
6,000 in Now Orleans.
When New Orleans was captured. Indfc
ana*had one-thousand, and Dr. C.'wae informed
that ail the regiments were fall,
each containing 1,000 men. Seven of these
I regiments were" stationed at Baton Eomze
at tiie time General Breckinridge made his
attack. ; >',-yv
If.($ea..Williams only had 3,800 meD
id that,battle,-3,500 ifthst have been siok
or have-died, but, there is no doubt of the
Yankees having liedabout th^ number Of
troops tboy carried into this action.
The Bootor thinks that all that is. necessary
to !oxtomiuate that iportjbn of the
Yankees, who are sent here to exterminate
us, is to look them up: in New Orleans ?
This isoaw effectually done with the forced
adder the command df'-General: Butler?
the battle of Baton Rouge has looked them
hp. - They are now afraid tospread b about
and-take fresh air-as formerly."- The Dootor
thinks the attack of General Breckinridge
will very nearly destroy' the -whole
command of Butler. He soared them so
badly at Baton Rouge that 'they ere now
huddling, like scr many little chickens/under
the wings of the parent ben, near General
Butler, where they are dying like sheep.
: 'We think Gen. Breckinridge has acted
wisely, and displayed considerable strategical
skill in scaring 'these Yankees away
from Baton Rouge, and leaving a large
forceundei; Jeff. Thompson,ready to-pounce
upon any portion of the force which may
attempt., to get oat of the limits of New
Orleans. . Let them be kept locked up
there, until some titae in October, when it
will be quite an easy matter to dspture
what remains of the Brute's command.
Erejpare forWinter.
. What are out people, doing in .the way
of preparation for the comfort of our soldiers
in the -winter 1 "This is-a question '
which comes home.to every one of us, and
is worthy-of serious reflection. Already
onr brave-defenders are pushing their victorious
colttons oir tomore Northern'cliraes.'
In Tennessee, in Kentuekyj in Virginia,
they are advancing, and there is every prospeot
that winter will find them on the soil
of the North. They, should be prepared
f6r trie rigors of that climate. Food and
suitable dotting should be furnished to
them in abundance, Snd every facility of
fered tbat will enable. them to hold the
positions which they.will then even occupy.
Even if," however, they should advance no
farther than their present lines, they will
still be, many of them, in a climate, to
which they are unaccustomed. It behooves
our people, therefore, to be ec.ergetio and
active in making such preparations as they
can,'And which wili make the situation of
our. soldiers, a comparatively comfortable
ODQ.
Thus, those who haye facilities for weaving
woollen goods should employ ' their
looms in the manufacture of heavy cloths;
A8 8oon as possible ibis cloth'should be presented
to the several Ladies' ,Sewing Assosiations
throughout the State, where it will
be generously and rapidly con verted into
-clothing for the soldiers ; those who have
conveniences for drying frail,. or -preserving
vegetables, should lose no time in .putting

them in t^e hands of the officers and agents

whioh should be speedily aoted upon. The
cold season will soon commence in the aeo;

from Greenville, who eloped and joined .
the Northern army in Kentucky over twelve
months since,f is getting quite ."sick' of his ;
bargain. He has writtetfchome to his friends
to procure a permit for him .to come home.
He gives a doleful account of the situation
of the JUast Xennesseans m tDe JNortnem
army, says they are starving, and have an
awful hard time, and are the worst dissatisfied
of any fellows he ever saw. This man '
writes that he has lost all hope of a restoration
of the Union, thinks that it i? gone
forever, and that he is now willing to admit
he has been deceived, and that he will
behave himself, and give his infiaence to the
South.
We know this man we speak of. He
was elected a lieutenant in the army after
he got there. Others should take warning.
