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

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

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

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.

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.

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

The railroad bridge at Bull linn has already
been destroyed by the rebels. Stonewall Jackson

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

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

The wounded here say they have 110 faith in

and ridicule the pretentious announcements
he put forth, at the commencement of the campaign,

They complain of bad gcncrajship, and say that
the whole carftyaign has been without plan or

trap they set for him, without foresight or common
prudence.

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.
