All night the same confusion. Doubleday's battery (on which every foreigner "shwearsde victory") acted the double-flying artillery.

It is the opinion here that the Yankees, led by Patterson, (now by Banks, as we hear Patterson has been displaced, being guilty of divers gentlemanly acts — for example, restoring negroes, paying for forage, &c.,) are not intended to but devastate the country.

Passing over much, I now pause at the grand "negira of Saturday night." Being constantly on the qui vive, and not surprised at anything, we noticed an unusual amount of riding at ten o'clock. The Southern moon hosted sympathizing above us, showering bright silver rays, till the whole town was steeped in moonlight. While we could see them distinctly, the Yankees used lighted lamps.--the purpose remains a mystery. Our first observation revealed to us the use of the high projections in the centre of the front of their saddles: th

Interspersed were innumerable wagons and ambulances, all bearing Yankee stamp, such as were left after "our glorious battle," and their "inglorious flight" at Manassas. These occupied the time till dark; what passed then could only be heard; but from a morning view, we conclude it m

We knew it to be a retreat, and were no less amused than amazed to hear them say, "the rebels would not stand fight."

. Of the first you know. A little of the second we will try to tell you. Our town, which since the noble Southern army marched through, has been the perfection of quietness, was on Wednesday (17th) thrown into confusion by the cry of "They come!--They come!" Now this "they" was well known by every rational animal, from man to monkey, to mean exactly what did come — the barbers, swearers and thieves of Yankee land. We had been expecting them from Harper's Ferry, having been threatened by Col. Stone's command unaldread had passed into indifference, and indifference into a dogged desire for them to o ga Imagine, the, our surprise to see, in an opposite direction from the Ferry, on the top of our never disturbed "Potato Hill," a male in the attire of a soldier applying an inquisitive spyglass.

The officers rode through one store; entered a bar-room in the same style. The Federalists are now at Harper's Ferry.
