I| January 5 i tf What the Yankees Said Before the Last Battle. , On Thursday^ the 28th of August, ih< New York Times said: ~ "The rebels now stand in our front, nam bering, at the outside, 125,000 while t( meet them we have already 200,000 wbicl will speedily be increased to 250,000 oi ?00,000, and can be increased if necessary to' 400,000 men. Oar position is strong and although the enemy seems to be mak ing desperate attempts to turn our flanks oi break our line, there is not one chance it ten of bis achieving any important success By destroying the bridges across the Rap pahannock, we have rendered iheir passagt of that river impossible, and have sebufed for ourselves all the time needed for preparation The remainder of the army ot the Potomac will speedily take its position, and then without waiting to be attacked or putting himself upon the defensive even for a day, the country expects Gen. Halleck tc iput himself at the bear^of this magnificent and irresitible national army, and march over the rebels into Richmond." We beg the public to take notice of what tl is writer says with respect to this army. It is already, he says, 200,000 strong. It haE been beaten, rooted, driven like chaff before the wind. Ijt is, at this moment, either hiding behind its ramparts at Alexandria, or cowering under shelter of its gun-boats at Occoquan, or flying for life before the javengiug squadrons of Stuart and Robertson, or the fleetfooted infantry of Jackson and Longstreet. Let us, tbeD, hear no whining, no whimpering, no excuses for cowardiceon the plea of beingoverwhelmed by numbers. That has always been the excuse for Yankee defeat heretofore. Let it no longer be made, since here is a boast that they out-number us two to one. But it seems it was "impossible to cross T?annj>hannAolr i9 . Vafc fVio T?onnoKon_ nock has "been crossed. There was not "one ohance in ten" of Jackson's turning Pope's flank, yet he did turn it. According to the showing of the Times, when read by light of subsequent events, our troops have performed impossibilities. This is not more than we claim for them ourselves. -Marvels tbey have performed ; miracles, if you will. But impossibilities! tbey are horses of a different color. They - have beaten, although their strength was not there/ the combined forces of Pope, Burnside and McClellau. They have given these veracious gentry food enough fora whole broadside of bulletins. They have furnished them with'material to manufacture Yankee victories out of for six months to coroe> For if McClellan was victorious when he was driven-thirty miles from his original position and forced under the- protection of bis gun-boats, where he lay shivering and skulking until be got an opportunity to steal away?if Pope was victorious when he- was routed at Cedar Run, and when he was hemmed in and beateD to death on Friday?what will they be after Manassas? flaviug lost eighty cannon and 10,000 pris oaers, as it is said they have', doubtless they will announce themselves as gained the most glorious victory ever accorded to leaders od this continent. We await their bulletins with tbe liveliest curiosity. The London Times was right when it said that if the Yankees should really gain a victory, the people of their cities would be sure, if they told the tale themselves, to go in mourning for it.. A victory to Pope or McClellan always means a disastrous de feat. . 'j % Nothing can equal or abate Yankee impudence. It is as indestructible as the Yankee prospeDsity to lie. Mark how tbe Times talks about marching over the "rebels," and marching into Richmond.? Ooe would hardly think that these are the same Yankees who were flying before oar troops like a flock of sheep, a few weeks ago, on the Chickahominy. Precisely the same kind of language was used when MoClellan set out with his grand army, four months ago. We were to he ri?n over by the invincible Yankee heroes as though we were so many insensible objects, incapable of raising a hand in our own defence ? Anybody but a Yankee, remembering the vaporings of that period, and the end of them all, would be ashamed to repeat them after the lapse of so short an interval. But Be Yankee is incorrigible. He resembles the Bourbon more than anybody else. He learns nothing, and he forgets nothing, We hope, however, this threat of another invasion will not be lost on Congress. It is wrong that the whole weight of it should fall on the brave troops who have already fought so well. That it will be attempted if we should fail to drive thein from Washington, does not admit of a doubt. In the uame of the country, then, we entreat Congress to perfect its. measures for increasing the army as soon as it can.?Richmond Dispatch. Invasion.?The Richmond Examiner says: Because invasion has heightened the spirit of the South, it does not follow that it will effect the same results for the North. We ought to know our enemy better by this time The North is incapable of sublime sacrifices; its spirit is ignoble; its objects in this war are different from ours; it has none of that moral enthusiasm which animates the people of the South in a con test for liberty, and has alone sustained them under the distresses of a war invading their territory, plundering their goods, and burning their homes over their heads.? Without such sunnorts the iVnrth is hut ill provided to sustain the horrors of invasion. No greater alarms cau be given a people than those of a war of invasion ; nothing shakes national resolution more; nothing appeals to selfishness more. The Northern people have those qualities upon which invasion tells with fearful effect. From the ignoble exhibitions which have been already given by the North, even at the distant threat of invasion, we may justly anticipate the dismay that will seize her armies, and the hearts of her selfish people when our troops have once obtained a footing north of the Potomac Curious Case ?Saturday last an indi vidual arrayed in woman's apparel wa3 arrested and lodged in jail.

[ The most important admissions of tbe . exteot of tbe defeat which the North has , sustainedon the plaioa of Manassas, and in I the neighborhood of the Potomac, are con. tained in the subjoined Washington-corL respondence of the Baltimore- American, , probably the blackest of the Black Repub. licaD sheets of Baltimore : , Washington, September 3, A. M.? Washington city was last night in a state of great excitement, and not without- most substantial cause : crowd9 were gathered at , all the hotels, disoussihg and speculating on the future; and tbe announcement that General McClellan had been assigned to the command for all the troops assembled for the defence of Washington, was generally prediotcd to mean that before twenty four hours should elapse the whole army of Virginia would be within the area of territory under his jurisdiction. \ The facts are, the army of Virginia has been out-generaled, out flanked, and so disheartened by the daily and hourly evidences of superior generalship on the part of the . rebels, that it is now on its way to Alexandria, mourning the loss of many gailant officers and men, who' haveTost their lives, or are suffering from wounds and exhaustion, many of them in the hands of the rebels. By the time this letter reaches you the whole command of General Pope will have fallen back upon the entrenchments and the works for jhe defence of Washington, under the command of General McCleJlau. The wounded here say they have no faith in General Pope's capacity -to command a great army,. and ridicule "the pretentious announcements he put forth, at the commencement of the catnpaign, with "headquarters in the saddle," &c.- They complain of had generalship, and say that the whole campaign has been without plan or strategy, and that he has walked into every trap they set for him, without foresight or common prudence. * As.to General McDowell, his withdrawal from the army of Virginia is a necessity that the President can no longer resist.? Not only his whole command, but every other division, denounces him in terms and language that it would not perhaps, be proper to repeat. Suffice it to say, * that those fighting under him complain that his orders led them constantly todisaster, while he kept himself in a safe position. At four o'clock yesterday morning a train of 100 wagons, with commissary stores, was intercepted by tbe enemy, between Fairfax ; Station and Centreville, and driven off toK 1 wards Manassas before the-party intercepted They secured tbe whole train, and doubt- j less fared sum ptuosly today. So soon as this raid in the rear of ourarmy was known, the necessity of looking to tbe rear again beeame apparent, and at noon the whole army of Virginia had abandoned Centreville, and was massed this side of Fairfax ' Court House. - . i Last evening they again took up their line ; of march, and at five o'clock the advance was in sight of Munson's Hill. The ene- ( rny's cavalry followed them iD the distance, bat made no attack, and the whole move- i ment was being accomplished in- exoellent order. At noon yesterday General McClel- , lan, at the request qf the President, rode oat to meet the returning column, and was - a. * tuueivcu uy Liuupcj wuu uuu ujubo euMiu; , siastic demonstration of gratification and pleasure. This state of affairs has of course caused considerable excitement here, and has doubtless, led to the order which virtually places General McClellan in command. The return of the arxny to Washington is a great mortification in military circles, and it will, doubtles, be one of equal mortification to the whole country. After fifteen months of toil and bloodshed, rcc have now returned, to th$ starting point and the whole work has to be commenced over again.? The Confederates may now again reiterate (their assertion with some show of plausibil- j | ty, that the South cannot be conquered. There caonot be said to be any panic (here, but the mortification is great,and the disappointment so deep, that every man seems to carry his feelings in his countenance There is a rumor this evening of a change in the Cabinet. How Mr. Sanders Escaped. THE PURPORT OF HIS DISPATCHES. Few men are better known at the North than Mr. Sanders, and yet, by the simplest of disguises, he escaped recognition. Some i years ago he was much concerned in Lake Superior mining j and he passed through the Federal States as a miner, with u i strong Cornish brogue, cariying his tools in i his hand. At Niagara, however, he was i stopped, no one being allowed to cross the ! civer without a pass. In conversation with i | the sentry, he expressed in the broadest i ; dialect his utter unbelief in the possibility j I of any man much less a carriage traversing i i in safety suoh a frail structure. The sen- i (try, equally resolute, in affirming the con- i i trary doctrine, finally proposed a practical i trial, and with much feigned trepidation Mr. Sanders consented to walk a little way 1 across: having once started, he did not I < consider it ueoessary to return, but made i for the Clifton House, where he had to make himself known before the proprietor of that aristocratic hotel could be induced to i receive a guest of his appearance. We are authorized to state that Mr. Saunders is the bearer of the draft of a com | inercial treaty, which the Confederate en- ' j voys%ill propose to the .chief European i i powers, irrespective of recognition without intervention. Recognition without inter vention is considered by President Davis as practically valueless to the Confederacy, and i intervention itself is not regarded as a ne- I cessity in the present position of affairs.? believes that 110 solid and durable peace can be obtained except by the concurrence of the United States; and tbat .this concurrence can be won by an appeal to its material interests, ancHhe resulting pressure by the Northern people, upon their Government. In this view the Confederate envoys will propose to the European powers, a treaty of commerce, to take effect on the recognition of the independence of the Confederate States by the United States, nr rmom n*r>t fhn nrtrfc Kit nflinr manna I VI VUV vpuuiux^vi I uu pwi vu \JJ UVUUI UiVUUO j guaranteeing absolute free trade, with 'participation in the coasting trade and interDai navigation, to the powers accepting it, on certain conditions; and the same advantage will be'proffered to the United States, leaving the latter to choose between a prolongation of the war, with its doubtful is-sue, and the .immediate restoration of the benefits of reciprocal trade ?^Canada Paper. :, - Provost Marshals. The following communication was presented to the Senate from the Secretary of War, in reply to a resolution requesting oertain information from the President in relation to the pay and appoiotment-,of Provost Marshals: Bis ExteUency Jefferson Davis, President Confederate States of -America : Sir : I have the bb'nor to acknowledge the receipt of the enolosed resolution of the Senate, requesting yoa to give them informawon concerning the pay and appoint-, menfc of Provost Marshals. The army regulations. provide for the employment, by a Commanding General or a General of Division, of Provost Marshals, who are charged with the custody of priso ners and the performance of police duties. _ Id garrisoDa, non commissioned officers are usually assigned to these duties; but, with armies of the field, deprived as they are of the assistance of the civifc- authorities, and often encumbered with large numbers of prisoners, the duties beoome more difficult and important,/ and commissioned officers are detaijed for their discharge. It will be observed that Provost Marshals are employed, not appointed; otherwise, officers of the army already holdir.g commissions. could not be assigned to such duty vvithout-holding two distinct appointments from the Government. ? . It having been found that large amounts of public property at our. principal depots, and the peace and good order' of many of our towns, were endangered by the numerous stragglers from the army, and oamp followers hanging about them, and that desertion from the army was encouraged by the want of - persons at these points to make arrests, the Department employed Provost Marshals, and vested them with authority overall persoosin the army found within their respective limits. They have - no authority whatever over persons not in the army, except where mar= tial law is in force, in which localities their police powers are extended -to citizens as well as soldiers.Whether martial law exist or not, they are expressly prohibited by. a general order frpm exercising civil jurisdiction, and the Department has checked them in all cases in which the exercise of such jurisdiction has been made the subject of complaint. Many of the Provost' Marshals of posts where martial law is not iu force have fallen into the error of supposing themselves to be clothed with general police powers, but the Department has invariably informed tbem when such cases were" brought to its attention, that they could derive the jjower to arrest citizens^from the civil magistrates only. . mi .I?..? 11 _ /? _ J _ A ineir compensation is usually nxen ai that of a captain of infantry, but in some few cases they have been allowed the pay of field officers. The reference to the army i grade is merely for the purpose of fixing their rate of compensation, and does not confer on them grade or commission. i The employment of Provost Marshals and Provost guards, is essential to the pre servation of public property, to the peace and good order of onr chief towns, and to < the very existence of the army i ? They are paid by the Quartermaster's Department, because the army regulations require that department to pay the inciden- i tal expenses of the army, iucluding gener- i rally all proper and authorized expenses for the movements and operations of the army, i not expressly assigned to other departments. Provost Marshals bciDg essential to the i operations of the army, and not being chargeable to any other department, seem properly to be- assigned for their pay and allowances in the Quartermaster-General's i Department. Very respectfully your obedient servant, GEORGE W RANDOLPH, i Secretary of War. The Custom op Wearing Mourning for Our Gallant Dead?Ought it to be Continued ??The Columbia S. Car _7 * ~ uttiuu/i reuiiutio (juii/t; apyiupimiviy upuu this subject: "During the Auiericau Revolution, Congress, having no power to make laws, frequently recommended such measures as were deemed proper and conducive to the public welfare. Dr. Green in his autobiography, remarks that, "no law passed by a Legislature, nor any mandate issued by a despotic sovereign, ever received a more prompt, strict and universal obedi enoe than these recommendations of Congress." He ttlludes especially to two instances : "To forbear entirely from the use of East India teas, and to -discontinue all expense in mourning, beyond the wearing of a piece-of crape on the left arm."? Would it not be well for the Confederate Congress to renew this last recommendation ? When so many households throughout the South are called upon to mourn the loss of dear ones, the custom of wearing mourning adds greatly to our expenditure and detracts to that extent from our ability to maintain this unequal struggle. It is unecessary to remark that such goods are now very scarce and costly, and many are compelled, in obedience to custom, to make sacrifices which they cannot well afford? Let the wealthy classes set the example in this respect. Our gallant dead, who have poured out their life's blood in defence of our liberty, will be none the less remembered.

' J Maryland as the Seat of Wftr. The effect which an invasion of Mary- ti laod and the North would have oq the t tempers of the Northern people and the C probable duration of the warv is a point e considerably discussed at this time. For ti ourselves, we think that we have nothing ( to hope from attempts at propitiating our n eoemy, and nothing to fear from attacking him in any and every way. Peace is to be r won on^ by extinguishing all his hopes qf ii conquest, and punishing his attempt by r beavy blows. We must fight him in the n most effective manner that our strength will h permit, whether that be by the defence of p our own soil or by the invasion of his. tf ti strong enough to evade him, we should v not hesitate for fear of arousing additional fury at the North ; for the people there are d already possessed of a demon. If not strong c enough, w%should not be seduced into it c by the fanatical idea that the mere name t of invasion is to accomplish everything we si desire. In short, it is a purely military question, and we are content to leave it with ri our Generals?not ourselves expecting t| much benefit from any terror, or much injury from any fury which the mere report j of invasion will produce in the Northern r, mind. ' . y If our army has crossed the Potomac, or a shall do so, we think that the success of Q the movement will depend chiefly*on the f, manner in which our advent shall be received by the Marylanders. Now is their ^ time to lift the heel of the despot from off ?] their shore ! If they shall prove timid or w hesitating, their opportunity will be lost, t] and perhaps forever. If they shall prove g unwilling to?do and to dare, and to risk ^ life and property for liberty, they ehoose w the portion of slavery forever. But, on p the other hand, if the spirit of their fathers animates the sons, Maryland will be on fire j from her mountains to her sea shore, and (] will give to the Confederate soldiers that (] assistance and support which shall enable e] them to strike the shackles from her limbs b ind bid her be free forever! And with fe Maryland anS Baltimore on our side and in >ur hands, Washington must swiftly fall, w hough Linooln should fill the Potomac 8l vith his gunboats. ? . ' m We repeat, that a vast deal now depends ol in Maryland. If the great majority of her jeople are on our side, as we have been issured, and believe, and if the voice of pi heir leaders can arouse them now to swift la ind courageous action, we may anticipate a< ;he most brilliant advantages by our expe- ci iition into that State. But if, on the oth>r hand, their souls*have been crushed out tl >y the tyranny which has trampled them, w so that they shall fail to second our efforts tc vith heroic co-operation, the work of Mary- S anfl's redemption will bo at least greatly ss ielayed. We hope, however, for the first tc jamed course. We hope to see the sods li ff Maryland rise up all over her fair bor- tl lers, and take for their battle-cry the words b )f one of her own poets: li "Better the fire upon the roU! BctteT the shot, the blade the bowl, Than crucifixion of the anC ' Maryland, my V" Thwd!" * And tbe glad anBWer will go baok from he hosts of the liberating Confederate ray: ^ ^ "She Is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb, - r She breathes! she bums! she'll come! the'U come!" Richmond Enquirer. Phe Enemy's Loss in the Late Operations. ; The enemy admit a loss, down to Friday light, of 17,000 men," Pope officially staing his loss on that day to have been 8,000. 'n one of the- Baltimore papers it is said hat the entire Yankee loss, including that if Satnrday, is 32,000 men?killed, woundid and prisoners This statement allows .0,UUU tor the loss or Saturday. That the oss of that particular day was vastly greatit>thau the enemy admit, we take to be lertain. They are not the persons to ovetistima'te their own. losses, aqd, in themeaoime, Gen. Lee tells-us that over 7,000 of hem were taken and paroled on ibe.field. !f they fought the battle "with anything like he desperation they pretend, considering hat it lasted five Hours, they' certainly had core than eight thousand killed and woundid. The letter of Dr. Coolidge is conoluive upon this point. He says that' four lays after the battle there were still .three honsand wounded Yankees uncared for rithin the lines of General Lee. It is rery certain, if they were not oared for, it ras because the number of wounded was so ;reat that their turn had not come. Our iwn wounded, not exceeding, it is said, 1,000, could be very well attended to in a [ay, and then the turn of the Yankees rould come: ' Yet so numerous were they hat at the end of foar days three thousand f them had not received surgical assistance. ?his indicates an enormous list of "wounded nd confirms the report of one officer, who tuts down their killed at 5,000, and their rounded at three times that figure, making 10,000 killed and wounded, and of others rho say that their killed and wounded were o us in the proportion of "five, six,* und ven seven to one. As many prisoners were taken who were lot included, in the 7,000 paroled men entioned by G-en. Lee, we do not think re make ao over estimate when we set [own the whole Yankee loss at 30,000 in ound numbers. Their loss on Frjday, esimated by Pope himself ai*8,000, added to heir loss on Saturday, makes 38,000/? Previous operations, including the battle of Jedar Run, the several expeditions of Sew rd, and the various skirmishes in which re were almost uniformly victorious, we hould think, would fairly bring the total oss of the enemy?leaving outrof the acount the' victory of A: P. Hill, on Sunlay, of which we have not the particulars -to 50,000 men, since our' forces first rossed the Rapidan. This is a result al!K)st anequalled in the history of modern ampaigns.?Richmond Dispatch. \ Explanatory.

The Draft?The Way the Yankees Keep Out of the Ar^y.?We have been almost equally amused and disgusted with the miserable subterfuges to which the Yankees resort to avoid the draft in theNorth. We have selected, the. following examples from a score or two of others: The Burlington (Yermont) Press says: The United States" Marshal at'Rouse's Point is stopping now a-days from twenty to thirty men a.day, who are endeavoring to .escape military duty by fleeing into Canada. We understand that a bond is required of each, holding him to return to his town and stand his chance of being drafted, in defoulf of wbiah the fugitives are marched to the United States barracks, and will be mustered into service in due season. Yesterday, an able-bodied young man,, by the name of Horace -Edgertob, fcpm Pawist, in this State, was detected in an attempt to slip across the line in women's Ulothes, - >.. . " Four men in the town of Danburry, Connecticut, on Saturday last applied'to a surgeon to have their hands dressed) three out of the four having deliberately severed the fore Anger, of the left hand (the latter mistaking the hand,) and demanded a certificate of exemption from draft. * A man in New Haven procured a certificate of-exemption from military service by the following process Having procured a pair of old boots, he deliberately knocked off the heel of oue, and as delibertely walked into the doctor's offioe.

A 8tout man applied to Dr. Welch, of Winchester, Rhode Island, for a certificate, wearing a new trass. He said ''the old one was about used up " The doctor marked it privately so he. should know it again. The same day another man applied wearing the same truss. It is presumed .that the only rupture in that case was between him and the doctor. *' j ' ' ' " ' v Prom Virginia. ; -NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA. Advices received in this city yesterday give strong hope that the Pierpont dynasty in Northwestern Virginia will very soon terminate its existence. Oar forces are making inroads in that section which'it is confidently believed will speedily end in riddiDg that portion of the State of the disloyalty with which it has heretofore been cnrsed. A fpw. days since Bnckhannon, in Upshur oounty, was occupied by out forces1 under Gen. A. G. Jenkins, late member of Congress from the Kanawha district ; and it is thought that ere this he has possession of Grafton, the junction of the Baltimore and Ohio and Northwestern Virginia reloads. * As Gen. J. advanced the loyal people of the oonntry were flocking to his standard by hundreds, and it was expected that in a brief period of time he would have a force, sufficient to. wipe 01?the remains of Federalism in the West. ' r At Harper's Ferry a large number of negroes were recovered by our forces, who beJonged to parties iu different parts of the Valley. We have "heard the number stated as high as fifteen hundred.?Kichmona Dispatch, 9tA. The Riohmond Enquirer says: A gentleman of this city, who has just returned from the battlefield of Manassas, informs us that the medical chiefs of our army told him that our loss in killed and wounded would not exceed eighteen hundred to two thousand men. This statement, coming from those who have the best opportunities to know, maybe regarded as confirming the similar accounts which have been published on other authority. Congratulatory Order from Gen. Braxton Bragg. Chattanooga, September.10.?A.congratulatory order from Gen. Bragg to his army on the rec:nt successes of the Confederate arms has just been received. It is dated Sparta, 5th, and says : Comrades, our campaign opens auspiciously. The enemy is in full retreat, with consternation and demoralization devastating his ranks. To secure the fruits of this condition, we must press on vigorously and unceasingly. Alabamianp, your State is redeemed. Tennesseeans, your capital and State are almost restored without firing a gun; you return conquerors. Kentuckians, the first great blow has been struck for your freedom.? Soldiers from the other States share the happiness of our more fortunate brothers, and will press on with them fortbe redemption of their hdmes and women. (Signed,) BRAXTON BRAGG.

The enemy were slain in vast numbers, and were thoroughly rooted, going off in less disorder, indeed, than the former Bull Run stampede, bnt thoroughly demoralized.

General Pryor, it is related to the Richmond Dispatch, was at one time a prisoner during the late battles, but escaped from his three oaptors, killing two of them with a bayonet, which he had seized from the hands of one of them.
