The Army In Northern Virginia. From one of our good citizens, just returned from Winchester, Va., who spent several days in the camp and neighborhood, wo learn that the portion of the army he saw is greatly improved in numbers and appearance, and the men in fine spirits, from their rest, after continuous marching. Company and battalion drills were the order of the day. On Monday week Qcn. McLaw's division, consisting of the following brigades?Kershaw's, Cobb's, Barks, dale's, Scmmes', Evans' and Drayton's, were reviewed by Gen. Longstreet, to whose coips they now are attached, besides several battalions of artillery. It is described to us as being an imposing and interesting sight, to sec the veterans of so many hard fought battles, beginning with Williamsburg and ending with Shai^psburg?their victorious banners floating in the breeze, showing by their tattered appearance, the terrible conflicts through which they had passed. We arc told that it was enough to make the heart of every Southern man thrill with joy, to see his gallant countrymen, who has made illustrious the indomitable courage and sublime heroism of our volunteer soldiery?not hirelings, fighting for pay, or at .L _ ? f "I . ? -? uie ocnesi 01 a ucspot, ddi irom tiic promptings of the highest patriotism and for the preservation of our dearest rights and liberties. Gen. Longstrcet first reviewed each brigade in line, accompanied by Gen. McLaws, and their ! respective staffs, after which, brigade after brigade is said to have passed in review, the bands all the while playing enlivening tunes. The appearance of Gen. Longstrcet, on his noble charger, was the very impersonation of a soldier. There was es*.imated to be present on the occ&sion at least 12,000 troops. The whole display was highly creditable to men and officers, and conld not fail to have a good effect in showing to each other the strength and numbers of their division. The sick and wounded of the army had neaply all beeh sent back towards Stanton, I, while supplies of clothing and shoes were going forward daily. Gen. McLaw's division was . seven miles from Winchester, near the turnpike leading toklartinsburg; Gen. Longstreet's other command a few miles further on, and Gen. Stonewall Jaekson in the neighborhood of Bnnker Etfll?all seemed to have the highest confidence in their great and good comI mander?Gen. Loe. ! 1 ?

It would be superfluous to say, for the in" formation of the present age, that the war now being waged against the South partakes far | moro of the character of brigandage than of a legitimate and regular contest in arms. But for the enlightenment of future ages the Hon. Mr. Foster has done a commendable act in enabling us to add the following to the many proofs of the attrocious spirit and purposes of the enemy. We submit whether the President shonid not take the same course in regard to this outlaw that he adopted with reference to Pope and others: House of Representative?, ) October 8tb, 1862. ] To the Editor of the Whig: Enclosed you will fiud a portion of General Paine's address to his soldiers, delivered at Tuscurabia, Ala., and faithfully reported by Col. Thornton, one of our most distinguished lawyers, and a gentleman of high standing. I give you this as a specimen of the kind of enemy we have to contend with. Tho8. J. Foster. Soldiers!?This country is yours; these people have unwillingly planted everything we need in this beautiful valley, and it shall be dealt out to you, with a lavish hand, and not stingily. If you want corn, these waving fields will supply your wants, take it. If you want fruit, vegetables, chickens or potato6, take them, they are yours. If the cows need milking, milk them yourselves, or make the milk maids do it for you. Everything thing here in this rich and beautiful country is yours and for your use?enjoy it?you deserve it all, for you aro in arms, exposing yourselves in defence of your country against Rebels and Traitors, who have no rights. They own no property, but through the Government. They are outlaws. But remember soldiers! We are not done yet, there is yet work to do. The idea of a restoration of the Union as it was, is now a humbug?it has passed away. It is now a war to the knife, and to the hilt, hilt and all.? Yes, soldiers, it is a war of extermination. Then I say io you take everything you want, it is yours?but remember to preserve your discipline. The above is a part of a speech made by Gen, Paine to some of his regiments at Tuscumbia, Ala., in August, and they ' acted according to its spirit and letter. L. B. Thornton. From the Army. Nkak Winchester, Va., September 26, 1862.?In a late letter my estimate of our loss in the battle of Sharpsburg was six or eight thousand men, and the enemy's five times as great. That estimate of our loss is vindicated by the subsequent official reports from proper quarters; and you have ssen the confession yf the New York Tribune, that "The Grand Army" sustained the loss of twenty thousand men!

We copy the following from the Jacksbn Mississippian: ^ Jackson, Miss., September 21, 1862. Maj. Gen. Gideon J. Pillow?present: It has been represented to me, from roliable sources, that, at a gatheriug of the citizens at Clarksville, Tenn., in Febraary last, you made use of language directly reflecting upon me as a soldier and an officer, as connected with the defence of Fort Henry. A proud consciousness of having performed my whole duty to my Government, not only at Fort Henry, but on all other occasions, will not permit me to allow my name to rest under 1 even a breath of censure. You will, therefore, be kind enough to state, in writing, whether or not I am to consider your remarks, made at Clarksville, as intended to reflect upon my conduct as an officer or a soldier. Respectfully your obedient servant, Floyd Tilghman, Brig. Gen. P. A. C. $. ? fc okn. pillow's reply. Jackson, Miss., September, 21, 1862. Brig. Gen. Tilghman, C. S. A. Your note of to-day, stating that you had been informed that I had made use of remarks in Clarksville, in February last, reflecting upon yon as a soldier and an officor, in conducting the defence of Fort Henry, is received. In reply, I state that the time and place re_ ferred to, I made a few brief remarks expressive of the conviction then upon my mind, that the works at Foat Henry were prematurely surrendered. The conviction was formed from information which I then believed to be true. Subsequently, and while at Fort Donelson, 1 received from Maj. Gilmer, engineer on duty with you at Fort Henry, aijd present during the assault on that point, a statement of facts and of the circumstances connected with its defence, which satisfied my mind that my first statement was incorrect?and that the work could not have long withstood so vigorous an assault. It is proper to say that when my remarks were made I had no unkind personal feelings towards you, but were the results of a conviction based upon erroneous information. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, Gid. J. Pillow, Brig. General C. S. A. What was Done of Old.?In Simms' History of South Carolina, says the Charleston Courier, a volume which, although primarily designed for schools, and making no higher pretensions, should be used and read by all citizens?we read as follows: tt mi ? ? .1 ^ ? * xno commerce ot soutD Carolina bad a noble origin. Its first merchants were the Lords Proprietors themselves. They established lines of shipping between Great Britain and Charlestown, and between the latter and the * several provinces of Virginia and British West India Islands, and especially the Barbadoes.? And this without contemplating mercantile profit, but to encourage emigration and to provide supplies to the colonists. "In 1740 ship building was began, and five ship yards were erected?one in Charlestown, three in its vicinity and ono at Beaufort, and from these, between 1740 and 1776, twentyfour square-rigged vessels, besides ships and schooners, were 'launched successfully." Cannot Charleston again do as ihuch as was done by Charleston in 1750? That's So.?The only class of men in the world who arc not in the habit of disparaging their neighbors, are the assessors of taxes; tor ; it is well known that they never ''underrate" anybody in the slightest degree. ..

Said (a colonel with his arm in a sling, when surrounded by a crowd of eager listeners at his hotel: "there is a dash about these Southerners absolutely terrific; we can't stop the devils when they charge, without killing all?and sometimes we do that?but, if we don't, they are bound to take our batteries." The advance of the enemy on Pope's left, on Saturday, is deEcribed as the grandest scene of the kind in the war.?When Leo arrived every gap in their lino of battle was filled upf and the whole advance in phalanx so solid and and deep, it looked like a forrcst of bayonets, stretching up and down our front for fall threo miles, over-lapping our extreme lett wing. Qn they came, steady and slow at first, our batteries playing on their columns, but theirs, in commanding positions, throwing shot and shell over their heads into our artillerists and guns. Their Jine never wavered, but advancing within musket range, it drew the fire of our troops without flinching; then their guns came to a level, and belched forth a staggering fire, followed by a charge of tho whole mass. Arriving at closer quarters, the musketry was <&n| tinucd, while more than two opposing regiments crossed bayonets.' Five minutes decided it The left could not stand tho pressure, and began to waver. Our batteries wore si lojicea or captured, and tiie foe had desperation and numbers on their side. "Fail back! fall back!" rang out along our lines, from left to centre, and from centre to right: and the enemy once again triumphed on the fields of Bull Run. it A Scene in a Hospital.?Lady (at the bedtideof a sick soldier.)
