Had Dot tbe Lord of Hosts been with us, our enemies would liave destroyed us. lie has graciously answered the prayoI'm of His people; and with ouq h'cart and one voice" let us unito and render | thanks, on Thursday next, to Him who is the All-wise Hulor of men nnd nations, our tribute of grateful praise for bis adorable goodness and mercy. Within the past few months the boastful, insolent foct who "had possession of so much of onr territory, and confident of crushing and subjugating us ioto the will and rale of a government abhorrent to every feeling and principle of our nature, has been driven back, and, instead of our capital being endangered, they arc trembling for their own. While we thus give thanks for the past, let us act in the future on Cromwell's advice?"Trust in God and keep your powdor dry." Waterce mounted Riflemen. This newly organized company of Cavalry, under command of Cnpt. E. M. Boykin, received marching orders, during the early part of last week, and at the time appointed for marching (last Saturday) was mounted and equipped, when a counter order was received from the Chief of the Military Department, to remain at heme, but to hold themselves in rea~ dincss for future instructions. Capt. Boykin, may well feel proud of his command, as it is composed chiefly of the intelligent young men of our District. II is officers arc all gentlemen of indomitable energy and force of character, besides having the advantage of icfng military experience. Our Recent Victories. i\i no time since tho commencement of the w^r lias our arms been crowned with such success as the battles at Manassas Plains and at fychmond, Kentucky. True, South Carolina mourns some of her most gallant sons among the slain and wounded. Of the field officers. Cols. Means, Marshall, Gadberry, 'Glover and Monroe, were killed, and Gen. Jenkins and Col. Bknbow, wounded. Of the many others, full lists have not been received. Of the companies from this District engaged, we have heard that Lieut. -R. M. Cantey received a painful wound in the leg, but not dangerous.? Lieut. John Dopr was slightly wounded? both of whom belonged to Capt. E. 15. Cantfy'b company. Tn Captain Warren's company, three men are reported wounded?their names not known. The Division to which n,,.. t? - i ... - u&itsnAw 8 origaac is attached, reached the battle-ground on the 1st inst., after a hard march from Hanover C. IIwhere they had been watching the movements of the enemy in the neighborhood of Fredericksburg. The Yankee generals, it would seem, deemed . it too humiliating to withdraw an army of 100,000 men from tho State of Virginia, and quietly prepare for winter quarters on the banks of the Potomac, without a final struggle to retrieve its fortunes and redeem its lost prestige. Accordingly, every available force was brought to "bear from Western Virginia, as well as the Atlantic coast. Thus, united as they were with the ariny of Eastern Virginia, were supposed to be precipitated upon Richmond. To meet this forte Gon. Jackson was early despatched to Gordohsvillc, and his vigorous movements and strong reinforcements made it necessary . r _/~i . *" * lur iucv/lkuan lo accomplish another "change of base" and hasten to the support of Pope's retreating columns. These united forces have been beaten, overwhelmed we hope, but beaten badly we feci assured froib tho last despatch of Gen. Lex, as well as the acknowledgments of the Tankee press. That is almost glory enough fer ono campaign. It will cover the heros who achieved it with immortal honor, and, whether living or dead, will enshrine their names and memories in the hearts of a grateful people to the latea?generation. We may not trust ourselves to speculate upon the immediate consequences of thii great triumph. Perhaps Gens. Jacksow or Lxx may render this trouble unnecessary, by dating their next dispatch at Washington. 9 a^ids the rur'r*^*e^of^ cincinnati?8tonewall jackson beyond tiib potomac?the redemption of maryland at hand.. Grenada, Miss., September 8.?Tlie Memphis Argus, of the Oth, contains the following Despatch: The steamboat B arrived about four o'clock last evening from [Cairo. A gentleman on board had a copy of an extra issued from the Gazette office at Cairo, previous to the departure of the boat which states substantially as follows: % On Thursday morning the Federal forces at Covington and Newport were marched out to meet Gen. Kirbv Smith, who was nin<? milo _ # ? ' 'vo off. After an hour's march, Gen. Smith was encountered, and tho Federal forces were drawn up in line of battle and ordered to fire. When they had fired their first round, it was discovered that the Confederates had overwhelming numbers, and the entire Federal force war ordered to fall back, Gen. Smith closely pressing upon them. When the Confederates reached Covington and Newport, Gen. Smith demanded the surrender of both places, which was complied with, he taking possession at 10.30, a. m. on Friday. A flag of truce was sent across the river, and the surrender of Cincinnati was demanded' two hours being allowed the authorities for consideration. The Mayor asked four hours, which Was orranlo/l dm> - ? * uiiiiu., in response 10 inquiries, informed the citizens that private property would be respected, but all United States property must be delivered up. The Philadelphia Inquirer contains the following despatch. W ashington, September 3, a. m.?Washington City was last night in a state of great excitement, and net without a most substantial cause; crowds were gathered at all the hotels discussing and speculating on the future, and the announcement that Gen. McClcllan had been assigned to the command of all the troops assembled for the defence of Washington, was generally predicted to mean that before twentyfour hours should elapse the whole army of Virginia would be within the area of tnrritnw _ ? a. 1 " " to say that those fighting under him complain that his orders led them constantly to disaster while ho kept himself in a safe positiou. Falls Church has been evacuated by our troops. Tho wounded who were'in the hospitals there have been brought to Washington. The railroad bridge at Bull linn has already been destroyed by the rebels. Stonewall Jackson is on his way to Baltimore, via Leesburg^ with 40,000 men. He intends croesing near Edward's Ferry. Last night there was serious skirmishing along the whole front, during which we lost two of our best Generals and other valuable officers. Kearney and Stevens are killed. It is stated that Hooker's brigade, drove the rebels b&ck, but this skirmishing was attended 1 with a great loss of life. under bis jurisdiction. The facts arc, that the army of Virginia has been out-generaled, out-flanked, and 60 disdcartened 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 gallant officers and men, who have lost theii lives, or arc suffering from wounds and exhaustion, many of them in the hands of the rebels. By the time this letter reaches yon the whole AA?wm?n/l *11 * vuiiiui.iiiu in \iuii. rope win liavo fallen back upon entrenchments and works for the defene of Washington, under the command of Gen. McClellau. The wounded here say they have 110 faith in Gen. Tope's capacity to command a great army and ridicule the pretentious announcements he put forth, at the commencement of the campaign, with "headquarters in the saddle," &c.? They complain of bad gcncrajship, and say that the whole carftyaign 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 Gen. McDowell, his withdrawal from the array of Virginia is a neccsity that the President can no longer resist. Not only hi.* whole command, but every other division, denounces him in terms and language that would not, porhaps, be proper to rcneat. if I They secured tho whole train, and, doubtless! fare^j sumptuously to-day. So soou as tbh raid in the rear of our army was known, the necessity of looking to the rear again became apparent, and at noon the whole array, of ViriilVilulka?* JV.-? vsu. ? g..... ..nu nvauuuucu V/tJII trev 11 ie, BllCI \V?8 UiaSSed this side of Fail-fax Court Hoifte. Last evening tliey again took up their line of march, and at five o'clock the adranoe was in sight of Munson'rf Hill. The encltny's cavalry followed *hem in the distance, but made no attaek. At noon yesterday, General McCl^jlan, at the request of tho President, rode out to meet the returning column, and was received by his troops with the most enthusiastic demonstrations. This state of affairs has, of course, caused considerable excitement here, and has, doubtless, led to the order which virtually places Gen. McClella^n in command. The return of the army to Washington is a' great mortification in military circles,-and it will, doubtless, be one of equal mortification to the whole country. After fifteen months of toil and bloodshed, we have now returned to the starting point, and the whole work hos to be commenced over a (/pin. The Confederates may now again reiterate their assertion with some show of plausibility, that the South cannot be conquered. There cannot be said to be any panic here, but the mortification is great, and tlio 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.

Bragg is rapidly advancing, while Forrest's cavalry are hanging upon the rear of Buell's army, now pressing towards Nashville. From Chattanooga. Chattanooga, September 8.?Private despatches from Winchester to the Rebel say it is absolutely certain that Buell's entire force has retreated beyond Murfrcsboro.

Yankee rumors say that Louisville is captured. We have encouraging news from between Decatur and Columbia, of which it would be imprudent to speak at present. Gen. Bragg's army is in the highest spirits, and rendered invincible by the glorious news from Virginia.
