"No force of the enemy ha* moved south of

Staunton. We drove a large, body of cavalry, un-derToibert, from this place last night in confusion,and it retret-W through Staunton, which place isvow i lear of the enemy. A portion of our cavalrypassed throughthe town to-day."

A second dispatch was received from GeneralEaily the ssnie day, stating that he thought alld-in.?i ot \u25a0 raid on Lynchburg was over, mid eon-ve\uigthe gratifying information tltat the enemyerett fallingbatk down theValley.

emDE.VTII OF COLONEL GEORGE PA ETON.

Through late Northern papers we have tho me-lancholy intelligence ofthe death of Colonel GeorgeP.ttton, of a woundreceived in the battle near Win-chester on the 19th ultima. Colonel Patton was aam of the fate John M. Patton, of this city, and isthe second of the family who has yieldedlih life inthis war for Southern independence. He was agraduate of the Virginia Military Institute, hutadopted the profession of the law, aud settled inKanawha couuty, where, as the syataa of GeorgeW. Summers, and by the application of his ownbrilliant intellect, he soon attained a high positionat thebar. When the war broke out, however, howasamong the first to oiler his services to his coun-try. In auarduous campaign in Western Virginiahe greatly distinguished hiiii"t-f, and wasbadly wounded at the* battle of Scary. Assoon as he recovered be again took the held, andwas iv coiiiuittiid of em- forces at White SulphurSprings which defeated Averill in the summer otl_b*. Iv many battles in which he was _üb-;e--quuntly engaged he pioVed his bravery and hi;titnes- to command. The South could ill atioid to10-e tu.htt uiau in a period like the present; buthe has left behind him BB honorable name, m.d hisnicmoiy will be cherished by all who tuteitain rc-s[.ei t for toiiruge, manliness and chi-valry. Colonel Fattoii not probably more thanthirty years ol age, but he had acluc.ed a reputa-tion of which limny olJei officers might be proudTWO of hi. brothers are still in the stivice, bothholdingthe lank of colonel.

We find in tlie litraid several dispatches from theValley, which, however, do not contain as late in-telligence as has already been receivedfrom Confed-erate sources from that quarter. A tetegmn fromSheridan's headquarters, dated the 21th, speakingof the capture of Fishers Hill, says:

At Fishei's Hill he rested his right upon the Mas-.duuttou mountain, and his left upon Net th moun-tain, having his front, about three miles in length,tovei-d_y strongnatural aud artificial defences.--Hi. right, which was übout one mile in advance ofhis lelt, was considered almost impregnable.

On the 11st, uti importantpe-ition in front ot Ui_eneuvy's centre wa_ gainedby Wright's corps. Onthe --J, the mam attack aa begunby a strong de-monstration by Emory's troopsonthe tnemy'siight.About noon, or a little later, Ritkctts's division otthe Sixth coip-advanced and semred Eume impor-tant heights in front of the centre, while AveriU'sdivision of cavalry attached and drovethe enemy utagallopfroaa his advanced position on hi_ left oueiiiiii; back into his main woiks und held him there,while Crook's corps, which had been concealed duringthe day, was transferred in the rear of Aveiill's di-vision to the enemy'sextreme left. At live in theattemeioi!, Crook and Aveiill stormed and carriedthe woik- of the enemy, the cavalryleaping thabn -iters erected by the enemy, capturing two battle-tlags,four guns and over one hundred pirollers.?While Crook swepttowards the enemy's ct-utie, the.Sixth corps attacked, followed by the Nineteenth,while Averill swept along the bam of the NoitbBtonnteia outward seven miles, captured one hun-dred and seventy-five cavalry horses, four raifim>ns1fourteen wa_ons, eightaiisbulaiu ts and a number olfugitives.

The enemy, havingprobably learned of the move-ment upon Insright and rear, had commenced leav-ing this positionsome two hours hi fore our attackHis departure was so hastened that he \v:i_ com-pelled to leave : ixteen guns and over v thousandprisoners in our hands.

Yesterday morning tho pu.s_itof the enemywaspromptly continued by our cavalry, and he wasfound m position at Mount Jackson, twenty-ticmiles s.uth of Fisher's Hill, when- he seems dis-posed to otter a stubborn resistance to our furtheradvance. Yesterday induing Early's rear wasovertaken near Hawkins's budge by General Ave-rill, With a cavalry division aud the brigade of Gen-eral Devins, and "driven to the townof Mount Jack-son, where his entire force was found in pos.es-.ion

General Averill motrelieved from duty with hisdivision this morning,and granted a leaveol absencefor twentydays. This order has caused a universalfeeling oi am__icnieut in this army, and it is gen-erally thought that some questionof rank betweenGeneral Averill and General Torbert is involved,the former beingthe ranking officer, but the latterchief of cavalry of this military division. AveriU'sdivision officers and menexhibited their devotiontoturn bythe most marked demonstrations. The offi-cers, who seemed to love him us an elder brother,shed tearsat his departure, and as the General rodealongthe lines for the last time the men greetedhimwith the most enthusiastic cheers and many expres-sions of aitection.

GeneralAverill called the officers togetherand ad-.) i.- s.- i them,enjoiningupon them to continue as eu-ergetic and attentive, iv thefuture as they had beenin the past, and to yieldtho saute obedience to hissuccessoras theyhad to him. There is a prospectof an-engagement in front.

Colonel Batten, c-mniitiidingabrigad. iv Breck-inridge's corps, dic-d yesterday. He was mortallywounded in the fightof Monday, and wa.carried toMr Williams's house, in this town, from which hewill be buried some time to-day. General Earlyseiit a il.tgof truce to General Sheridan to inquirerespecting him.

HIE 081 OE OKNEHAI. HIKE INlo MTHOUB.?________ nOUIB OT Hi. EOKCE.Much excitement exists in Mis.ouii in conse-

quence ot the intelligence that General Bine hasentered that State with thirty thousand Confederatetroops. AforceofBa tL-Usaud Confederate cav-alty occupied Fredericktowii, Miss., -i. oil the 24thA telegram from St. Louis, dated the 2*ith, says :

St. I.otis, September __>. -Joe Shelby', rebelcavalry are said to be foui or five thousand strong,aud occupied Fredericktowii, twenty miles east ofFilet Knob, yesterday. Shelby's designs are notyetdeveloped.

General Ewing;commandant of the district ?t St.Louis, took a brigadeof A. J. Smith's troops down1 ,s.t iiie.ht, and otherwise prepared to me_t the en-emy. Pilot Knob is well fortified and garrisoned.Caiie Oirardeau, on theriver, cau stand a -lege ;andthe only d-ui-su the rebels cau do is temporarily tocut the Iron Mountain railroad.

When Price crossed the Arkansas liversome dayssince, at least a *pait of his forces moved towardsUatt viile, evidently with tlie design of joiningShelby iii Northeastern Aikansas, and with theircombined corns-lands invade Missouri Irom thesoutheast. The toroc at Fredericktowii is doubtlessthe advance of this column, which is estimated to beten or twelve thousand strong. General Mower,with part of the Sixteenth coins, left Biowu.ville,on the Duvall's Rlutl and Little Rock railioud, vlew days siuce, going north ; aud Shelby will soonhave to look sharp!'.' after his rear. The situationwill probably developitself iv avery few days.

Sr Lo.is, September '-~ 1864.?1t is now -aidthat l'iice has entered Missouri With forces etitiina-ted at thirty thousand I troitg. His plau is sup-posed to be U. march to the central portion ol theState' with three columns, and, capturing all theimportant points, hold the country. Itis expectedthat Kitby Smith will joinhim with trom ten thou-sand to twelve thousand men.

'The Aikansas guerrillas are also concentrating toaid in the movement of the column now in the south-east, doubtless uuder Shelby, who has some sixor eight thousand men. .....Reports arecirculating to-night that partol theforce which occupied Fiedericktuwu yesterday cap-tured Cape Girardeau to-duy ; but they are verydoubtful.

K.ebin _flhllOK THE YAN'KKH PBF.SS ON THI l-HLSI-OKKTIAL tI'MIW,

The Herald has a fong .n ti.-B upon the bitterspirit existing at tli. Northupon the abject of thePresidential election and the fiercenessof the de-nunciations ot the partypress. We copy a portionof the editorial:

TheniHiiiter ia which the rival i laimsBl Mr. Lin-coln and General McClellan neebeing pressed is adisgrace to the enlightenment of our tountry and asource of serious peril to the public peace. TheLincoln papers ussail the character of GeneralMiS-'lellan with every epithetof obloquy. He is de-nounced as B "gunboatgeneral," "coward," *" trai-tor," be., while all the many thousand loyal andgallantmen who support him come in for a liberalsprinklingof the same abolition disty water. TheMcClellan papers arc uot behind iv the same un-wholesome and dtsirraceful activity. Not contentwith challenging the personal honesty of our na-tional chief magistrate, tbev have of late, baththrough their daily and weekly organs, put forthinsinuations to the discredit ol Mr.Lintoln's wife,charging her, iv one iustauce, with accepting bribes,and iv another with aaa paltry peculation in acrockery bill.

Unless these üboniiuuble practices of the partisan

Er.-ss are chetked in time, we»»hall most assuredlyavc scenes of violence before the ides of next No-

vember. This is a ie.oliiti.naiy period, and theminds of meuare inflami-d by unwonted passions.As to the attacks upon Mrs. Lincoln, they oidy in-jure, and that seriously, the side from which theyemanate. She has outlived and li fed down, by hermodest courtesy and gentleness, the slanders withwhich seec-sion sympathizers at Washington as-sailed her on her advent to the White House. " Letusfight it out as men," says General Sherman inhisrecent pithy and characteristic letter to GeneralHood; and so will say all decent citizens in refer-ence to these attacks upon the matron and wife,who is, by national county, the first lady of ourland. We feel confident that General McClellanmust disapprove this style of warfare in his behalf,and however reluctant he may be to interfere insuch matters, would suggest to him tlie propriety ofgivinghis partisans ahint to improvetheir manners.

As to the attacks upon General McClellan, madeby the Lincoln organs, they are foul and disgrace-ful beyond any parallel in partisan warfare. Is itreally the wish ol the Lincoln papers to persuadethe American people and the wotId at Urge thatevery citizen who supports General McClcllau'_claims to thePi-esideney is at heart a traitor, desir-ing the disruptionof our Union and the successofthe Jell. Davis conspiracy.' Or how long do thechiel atnaaef thisLincoln faction believe that theycau with impunitypursue the work of villi,v in*General Mcflellau aa a '-coward," "poltroon,"'? traitor," and so forth, iv acity which will, beyondany peradveuture, cast tioiu sixtyto eighty tliou--ttnd vote- in his favorat the nest election .'

Inthe present intlamed aud revolutiomtiy condi-tion of the public mind, any spark may seive tokin.lle a lonliacratiou that will notbe extinguishedwithout bloodshed. There will, we fear, be attacksupon the offi.-cs of the newspapers engaged ill the<escurrilous outpouring-!, and we sh.ill have the mis-fortune tosec the editorof oneLincoln organ sus-pended ou a lamp-post at his owu corner, while thec litor of another Lincoln organ keeps him companyon the lamp-post opposite. Every act of violencethus committed in the demcoratic metropolis willbe retaliated in some one or other of thoseruraldistricts in which the Lincoln men are strong, and,as the upshot of the whole scandalous quarrel, theb..\ al States will be plunged into riot, auurchyandmils, iiuunate lynching. These consequence* woregard us inevitable unless greater moderation oftonebe immediatelyevinced by Ihopartisan writersof the Lincoln and McClellan press,

The Cilieiunati Uaiette, an abolition sheet, de-scribes how aDemocratic meetingwas broken up bynamesoldiers on the -lib It say-:

The place selected for holding the meeting wasnear where a-McC'lellau pole had been raised a lewdaysbefore. About eight o'clock in tho evening themeetingwas orgauized by calling James G. Arnold,Esq., to the chair, and appoiuting James Gray se-cretary. Robert Richardson, In, first addressedthe meetiug. He spoke very brielly, andretired af-ter introducingHon. George E. Pukli to tlie crowdMr. l'ughwas evidentlyin a very bad humor?or,we might suggest, somethingeUe?judgingfrom thecompany who escorted him to the meeting. Hestarted out by declaring that ourvictories were meretelegraphic lies, used to keep spirit and courage upamong tho Abolitioitists. lie stated that Kentuckywas ruled by a tyrannical hand, and indulged invery insultingand sneering remarks about the sol-diers, spoke of "-Beast Butler" aud "Brute Bur-bridge," and used many other ungcntleuianly andvulgarepithets. There were quite a number of sol-diers of the iuvidid corps, from the Maui streetUnited States General Hospital, present, aud whentheyheard such officersas Generals Butler andBur-bridge viliiti.-i, were, cf course, quite indignant. Asoldier from Sherman's army, who- had received aterrible wound in the facefrom a lehel bullet, shout-edout, when he heard Mr. l'ughcharacterize there-bels as Southern brethren, " I have beeu there;they put abullet throughuiy jaw, and I don't con-sider them ' brethren,' but Iconsideryou atraitor."

Mr. Pugh retorted in a very vulgar style, andsoon the soldiers became very much exasperated,and, but for thecounsels of anumber of Union citi-zens, w0.i1.l probably haveattempted to infiict per-sonal violeuce upon the speaker. At this point inthe meeting, the shouts of tlte soldiers and a fewUnion men, who were present, for Lincoln andJohnson, were so loud and eoutiiiu.d that Mr. Pughfound it impossible to make himself heard, aud re-tired from the stand. Thecrowd beganto dispense,when someof tlie soldiers tore down the speakers'ilnnd, and, placing theboards around the McClnl-lau pole, set Are to them. The pole didnot burnvery fast, and wus finally chopped down with axes

On Friday, part of Formt's forces, about four.housend strong, eros-ed tbe Tettneaaa river aBate* UtaOtaf, in I?*ny w»«T* Twa*-**. H"

whole force is estimated tobe eight thousand men,with ten guns.

Colonels Campbell and Jarrison, at Athens,Georgia, were attacked by a large force of rebels,and, after a severe tlgb- ot two hours' deration,were forced to snrrende.. Several buildings, in-cluding thedepot, were set on tlie. Forrest in per-son was in Athens at two o'clock yesterday after-noon.

A detachment of three hundred men, sent fromDecatur toreinforce the garrison of Athens, arere-ported to have been captured after an obstinate en-gagement.

Several prisoners, captured by Colonel PressornearAthens, report that they crossed ut Florence;that Forrest told them lie would bare force enoughto destroyboth railroads aud stay in Tennessee aslong as hepleased.The rebel force has destroyedseveral miles of theTennessee, and Alabama railroad between Decaturand Athens. There is no communication with Pu-laski, Tennessee.

An escaped prisonerreports that therebel SamuelWheeler was at Courtlandt, Alabama, yesterdaymorning. Therebels were under threeconuuanders?Foitcsl, Roddy and Biißos.

Wheeler's force was reported to have gone Southto joinHood in Georgia, aud it isForrest's intentionto capture Pulaski, Franklin, Shelbyvilfo,aud alltheintermediate blockhouses on the road.

At last accounts, the rebels were moving onPu-laski. No demonstration had beeu made ontheChattanoogarailroad.

A telegram fromPulaski reports that heavy firingwas heatd»iu the direction of Sulphur Branch, andthat the rebel forces were operating against ElkRiverbridge.

All accounts agree that a large force is marchingupon our defences on this line, and proper measureshave been taken to repel the rebels.General Rousse-tu takes the Held to-day in per-son, und it is hoped that the rebels will be forced toreero-s the river before he gets throughwith them.

VIA HiNoioN h. MORS.A dispatchfrom Washington gives the following .

list of rumors which were prevailing iv thatcity:Therehas been to-dayanavalancheofrumors with-

out foundation. Among these were the captureofMobile by Farragut, a serious disaster to Grant'sarmy, and another victory, includingthe capture ofEarly himself, by Sheridan. The facts are that thereis no information hereWadingto a belief that Mobilehas been captured. Althoughpreparations for thatpurpose are in progress, they were not, at last ac-counts, quite completed. Grunt's armyhas sustainedno disaster whatever, aud-is not likely to meet withany. Itis stronger and in better spirits and condi-r tion than ever, and "only waiting the moment forthe order tobe given to strike thefinal blow at therebel capital. Nothing has been received from Sheri-dan lieyondwhat was mentioned in the Secretary ofWar's dispatch of this morning. The next advicesfrom that quarterare expected tocontain intelligenceof the captureof theremnant of Early's army andthe victorious progress of Sheridan towards Lynch-burg. The 1-einforcements going to him afford ampleprotection for all supplies required, and will enablehim to defeatany army Lee can send to oppose him.

Some speculators iv Wall street'gotveryrich onMonday last. They started a report that Farraguthad captured Mobile, and by that means "beared"golddown in a lew minutes alter the meeting of tliestock board. The Herald says :

Thegold n.ti ket labored under great excitementyesterday, and the panic of Saturday was intensi-fied. Theprice opened at 1.2,but rapidly declinedto 1851. 186.partly under the rumor of the surren-derof Mobile. Alter rapid fluctuations, it rose to199, but at five o'clock had relapsed to 193. Thestock market was also greatly excited and lower,with a feeling of panic in the morning, which par-tially subsided in the afternoon. Produce and mer-chandise of all descriptions declined heavilyin sym-pathy with gold.

The continued violent fluctuation in gold has be-gotten quite a panic in the merchandise markets,and immense losses will en.ue, except in the eventof a speedy recovery of gold. Ih some articleswtiich were boughtlargely some time since on spec-ulation, such us cotfee, Sic, theprevailingquotationsindicate losses to the extent of hundred ,of thou-sands of dollar* On the oue item of lu_.es weaietold that some of the leading speculators, if com-pelled to sell now, would sink nearly or quite $_IHJ,-weto 11,000,000. i

Mr.Blair will, by request of the President, continue inoffice until his successor qualities. Nothinghas yetbeen heard from Mr. Dennison, who is cunvassiugviOhio at point,where there is notelegraphicconnec-tion. No doubt is entertained that he will acceptthe office.

TheFighting ia Texas.TheYankee papers coutaiu some additional par-

ti, i.lars of the new -tute of affairs that bus arisenin Texas. Cortinas, however, it now appears, La..not occupied Brownsville nor rui-ed tlie Unionflag there. A letter in the New York Herald, writ-ten fiom Brazos Santiago onthe 13th ultimo, says:It is true, however, that the rebels evacuated the

town on the Gibinstant, but returned afterdiscover-ing that neither Mexican nor Union force occupiedit. From what 1 can now learn two bodies of Mexi-can troops, ho*'ever, crossed the Rio Grande intoTexas, but not in sufficient force to attack therebelFord, as was at first intended. They have sumeu-dered to our forces under Major E. Noyes, of theFirst Texascavalry. Thefollowing are tho particu-lars:

Information havingbeen received byColotfel Daythat a body of Mexican troops were at PalmettoRanche, someeight or ten miles from here, MajorNoyes waa ordered to proceed there onthe morningof the -th and demaud their unconditional surren-der to the Government of the United States.

On arriving there, however, no Mexicans werefound ; but Major Noyes was informed that a forceof about two hundred and fifty, with infantry cav-alry and artillery, were at Palo Alto, someeight orten miles further. Proceeding to that point. MajorNoyes met the Mexican force two mile . from PaloAlto. It was composedof two hundred and ten in-fantry, forty cavalry and one piece of artillery (asix-pound iifled gun),the latter m chaige of six ar-tillerists. »

Major Itoyes demandedof the Mexican commandera :,_! ieitilea of the entire force, with their armsandaccoutrements, in the name of the United States.This was cheerfullyacceded to.

Learning that another Mexican force, of aboutone hundied men, with two pieces of artillery, Werehourly expected io cross the Rio Grande, also forthepurpose of surrendering to our troops, MajorNoyes waited their arrival, and about noon the fol-lowingdaythey succeeded in crossing, aud, withoutamuimur,acceded to the demand of Major Noyesand surrendered menand material without hesita-tion.About 3 o'clock P. M. of the same day abody oftroops from the direction of Brownsville were dis-covered advancing towards them in line of battle.?They proved to be the rebels, under Colouel Ford,aud, as he outnumbered our little force more thanfive to one(Major Noyes haviug only a Union forceof ouehundred aud twenty-fivemen), the Mexicanswere culled on to resume their arms for their ownprotection, and preparations were made to receivethe advancingrebels. Iv the meantime our picketswere driveu iv by the latter. Two lines of skir-mishers, undercommand of Captain. Sampsou andTemple, ware deployed,and by them tho udvauceof the rebels was checked, and after a lively skir-ini-h the latter fell back under cover of the woods.

Major Noyes having now made every preparationfor resisting an attack, recalled his skirmishers andloinied in line of battle, with the Mexicans in thtcentre, Captain Sampson's company on the lightand CaptainTemple's on tlte left. The rebels ad -valued and made severalattemptsto outflank M«j.iNoyes, but each time were checkmated, the artiUevyand musketrykeepingup anincessant firedutiugthewhole time.

The enemy now determined, if possible, to cap-ture the artillery and compel asurretfder by mak-ingacharge and compellingour force to fall La, k tothe river, hoping to succeed by superior numbei \u25a0,but again und again they were repulsed,and Duallycompelled to fall back with considerable loss.

Our position washeld tlic whole of the followingday, althoughtbe ammunition was beexiudn j veryshort; but tfuruigthe night Major Noyes received afresh supply,and ou the following morning he as-sumed theoffensive and drovetlie enemythnc miUsOrders were then received to returnto Brazos San-tiago.

The engagement took place nearPalo Alto.Itis said that the Mexicans were without rations

for three days previous to MajorNoyes's arrival andtheir surreuder to the United States.

About half-paflb two o'clockSaturday morning, the pickets in heat) ot CaptainWilliam J.Dabney's battery, on the Mitchell trackroad, fired off their guns, ran in and reported theenemy were upon them, which caused much etaUu-sioii.

Escape of R. D'Obsav OoDiMaJf__)>daß|Af--ternoon, R. D'Oraay Ogden, theraoo*-moiid Theatre, in company with JackHillyard, anofficer in the same establishment, put into execu-tion a plan to escape to the Yankees. Previous tothedeparture of the Fredericksburg train from thiscity, they by some means gainedaccess to thepri-vateapartment of tbeladies' car, and were not dis-covered till the train arrivedat Bowling Green, inCaroline county, where theirhiding-place was dis-closed to the conductor and they were placed underarrest; but subsequently Mr. Ogden ]umped fromthe cars while they were in motion ontheir wayback to Richmond and succeeded in making his es-cape Hillyard wasbroughthere, however, dud hasbeen committed to Castle Thunder. Neither ofthem had passports to leavethe city.

Ogden, it will be remembered, recently failed inan application under habeas corpus b- tore Judge-Halyburton for eaemnton from servic and wasassigned for conscript duty at Camp Lee; but neversince tbe decision of the Judge has he performed-service. His exit from the Confederacy will excitenosurprise to our citizens.

The Coirts.?A number of trifling cases weredocketedin the Mayor's Court on Saturday, but,o'Tin* to the absence of witnesses, and a demandfor services about other matters of more impor-tance to our citiseus, His Honor declined transact-ingany business, and accordinglyrecommitted theprisoners to jailtill this morning. Before vacatinghis seat, however,The summoned his officers, bothdayand night, around him, and after referring to areport which had come to his ears that one of them,while acting as guard on the street, had released aman who had uopass upon treatinghim to a drinkof liquor,lectured them in severe terms, concludingby declaring his purpose, if the offender cau befound out, to immediately dismiss him from the po-sition which he has so much disgraced and alsotomake him answer the chargeof briberyin acrimi-nal prosecution. All of them who were present in-dignantly denied the charge; and tor the credit ofthe city, as well as for the respectability of the po-lice department of Richmond, it i_ tobe hoped thatthe report is without foundation.

In the Confederate and Hustings Courtsnothingwas done, Judges Halyburtonand Lyons having ad-journed them over till affairs become more settledaround the city.

Gone to the Eif_.l> ?One hundred and tenpri-sonersconfined in Castle Thunder were permitted,at their owu request, to organize themselves into acompany onFriday last and enter the field of opera-tions around the city Tkey were Under the com-mitnd of an efficient officer,and wentoff to fight theYankees with a hearty _-oo!i will.

\u25a0nam Acciornt.?On Saturday night last,about . o'clock, Lewis E. Harvie, Esq., President ofthe Richmond and Danville, railroad, met with amost severe accident. He was coming down theroad on ahand-car, and comingthrough Manches-ter, the car goingat full speed was run into a pas-senger car standing on the truck, which, owing tothe darkness of the night,could uot be seen. Mr.Harvie's thigh was broken by the concussion, and anegro on the car was thrown off and so seriouslyinjured thathe diedyesterday morning. Dr. Con-way aud other physicians were soon on the spot andset'the fractured limb of Mr. Harvie. Yesterdayhe was doiugwell, aud strong hopes are entertainedof his recovery.

Tv theEditors ofthe Richmond Dispatch:In your issue of the Ist instant appears an article

signed "Cavalry," asserting that the most import-ant reason for tlie inefficiency of the cavalry branchof the service "is the ownership by the meu of thelic.i-.-s they ride." aud the consequent reluctance toexpose the said horses to danger onaccount of notbeing able to replace the same, because the Govern-ment will onlypay two hundred dollar..; torhorsesactuallykilled iv service,which, he says, will notpayfee the red' tape coiisuuitsd. Aside from thusputting the value of horse-flesh before every con-sideration of duty aud patriotism, and the fear ofbeing compelled to aw ou loot, the article ex-hibits cither the most deplorable ignoranceof factsiv this tbe fourth year of the war, or un interestedand wilful misrepresentation.

As thousuids upon thousands have been paid forbonea killed, there ought tobe little excuse for ig-norance at this late date. The law iv forceprovidesthat fee horses killed, or mortallywounded, in ac-tion, the ownersshall be paid therefor the appraisedvalueof the same at the date Of entry or muster inthe service. The two hundred dollar law is anoldlaw of fife United States, still in force, under whichclaimants who have foiled to comply with theregu-lations to enable them to come under the Confede-rate a»*»J Isw can recover at least somecoinpeusatiou. If asoldier neglects thesimple pre-caution of havinghis horse properlyappraised upouentry' into service, ho has Uone to blame but him-self. V_i.ii.ts.
