with the Stonewall Brigade, under General Paxton, along the railroad embankment in front of their former position. It began near Hamilton's Crossing on the extreme right, and extending along the wide curve with which that thoroughfare sweeps into the plain, confronted the enemy all the way to the position of General Hood. The division of D. H. Hill, whose services had not been needed to complete the enemy's repulse, was now advanced to the second line; while the shattered portions of A. P. Hill's division were drawn to the third. The Federalists did not seriously renew their attack upon General Jackson during the day; but kept a spiteful cannonade, under which he suffered some loss. In this battle, Franklin had almost equal advantages of ground, and double numbers. But such was the skill of Jackson and his assistants, and the superior prowess of the Confederate soldiery, he was beaten, and driven hopelessly back to his starting place, before more than half of his antagonists fo

se of arms. The reported re-possession of Harper's Ferry by the enemy. The reports of the re-occupation of Harper's Ferry by the enemy, which reached us through Northern sources on Saturday, and which are published in our columns elsewhere, are not confirmed by our supplies of information. On the other hand, we have the most conclusive evidence that this point was not re-taken at the time stated, to wit, Tuesday afternoon. We yesterday had a long conversation with Lt. T. W. Saunders, of Gen. A P. Hill's division, who left Harper's Ferry on Wednesday. At that time all was quiet, and one brigade of our forces in occupancy of the town. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad bridge over the Potomac was destroyed before Gen. Jackson left to reunite his forces with those of Gen. Lee at Sharpsburg. That the place may have since fallen into the enemy's hands we think not unlikely, as its occupancy could be a matter of no importance to us after the withdrawal of our army from Maryland.

t mind that remark; it was only Meade by a boy. Rebel.--Our soldiers always treat your prisoners well, sir. Citizen.--Not at Richmond! Rebel.--In Richmond the Citizens may have treated the Federal prisoners badly, but I am sure the soldiers could not do it, for, as far as my observation extends — and it has been large — the soldiers on both sides uniformly treat their prisoners kindly. Citizen.--What division of the rebel army were you in? Rebel.--I was in General A P. Hill's division, sir, and General Jackson's corps of the Confederate Army. Citizen.--Then you were in the fight with Pope? Rebel--Yes, sir, for nineteen days we were either following the Federal army or they were following us, so there was always fighting alternately from the rear. Citizen.--Then you have seen some service! Rebel.--I have, sir; since the assault on Fort Sumter. After the evacuation of Fort Moultrie, I was there, and assisted to make it stronger than it ever

an, I will make a brief statement. On the 26th of June I enticed across the Chickahominy the rebel Generals Jackson, Longstreet, D. H. Hill, and A. P. Hill, for the purpose of annihilating them, when separated from their reserves. The works at Mechanicsville, though very strong, were strategically abandoned that night to toll the rebels into my tolls around Gaines's Mill. No such magnificent design was carried out at Sebastopol. On the 27th instant, the rebels Longstreet and A. P. Hill attacked my works in front, and Jackson and D. H. Hill turned them on my right. We killed vast numbers of the enemy, and left a vast army of my wounded in his hands. Knowing the great lack of provisions and medical stores in the rebel ranks, I let them take a thousand of my well men and all my sick. My wounded, sick, and sound men, will add greatly to the distress of the enemy and help to crush this unnatural rebellion. No such magnificent scheme was devised at Sebastopol. The rebe

The New York Tribune denounces the attack as a failure and a disaster, and calls upon Lincoln to ascertain who is the responsible officer. The position of the two armies repulse of the Federal at Chester Gap A Washington dispatch states that on the 22d inst., while Longstreet. was endeavoring to get into Eastern Virginia, by way of Manassas Gap, Gen. A P. Hill's corps took possession of Chester Gap and repulsed the Federal cavalry who attempted to drive him out. Longstreet's corps afterwards came through the same Gap. The Washington Republican says Lee has managed to carry all his Pennsylvania plunder with him. The Baltimore American, of the 28th, says: There is no longer any doubt that Gen. Lee's army has successfully eluded the pursuit of Gen. Meads, and is now again in nearly its old position in Eastern Virginia and around Culpeper and Go

rom our Own Correspondent.] Dalton, Ga., Dec. 2d, 1863. It is not known whether Gen. Hardee will remain in permanent command of the army; but if he should do so, then it will be necessary to assign Major-Generals to the command of the corps into which it is divided, since he takes rank among the junior Lieutenant-Generals. Of the officers of this rank the following is the order of their appointment, to wit: Longstreet, Kirby Smith, Polk, Holmes, Hardee, Jackson, Pemberton, Ewell, A P. Hill, and D. H. Hill. Think of Jackson and Hardee coming after Holmes, and barely taking precedence of Pemberton! Gen. Hardee has already declined the command of the army, except temporarily. He thinks that one of our very ablest officers should be assigned to duty here, and his modesty forbids him to believe that he is the proper person for the position. This is the third time that Gen. Bragg has asked to be relieved. The first time, I understand, after the battle of Murfreesboro',
