Arizona. --Gov. Baylor, when in Vicksburg, on his way to Richmond, spoke very favorably of affairs in the Territory of Arizona. He is confident of being able to hold it. Fort Craig, he thinks, has ere this fallen into our hands, and General Sibley will soon have Fort Union. He says between six and seven thousand Mexican troops, who had espoused the Federal cause, have abandoned its and are now with us. He speaks very highly of the country, and says it is the most valuable in the Confederacy.

Cavalry dash on Front Royal. On Tuesday last, a detachment under Lt. Baylor made a dash upon the Yankees at Front Royal, in Warren county. The detachment numbered twenty-eight men, and the result of their expedition, according to one account, was the capture of the Provost Marshal of the place, two Captains and eight privates. Another account says they captured thirty of the Provost Guard, and eleven horses, and that they were afterwards charged upon by two companies of Yankee cavalry and a body of infantry, when twenty of the prisoners made their escape. The other ten. with the horses, were brought into Harrisonburg on Tuesday night. Our loss was one killed, two wounded, and four horses killed. Sergeant Timberlake, of Lt. Baylor's party, visited his home in the Valley, and upon his return captured a Yankee team, with four or five horses. He left the wagon but brought the horses into camp, made an officer a present of one, and was offered two hundred dollars a piece for

ing attempted causes the expectation of a speedy renewal of active work beyond Culpeper. From Harper's Ferry. A correspondent of the Washington National (Black) Republican writes: Harper's Ferry, Va., Aug. 14.--The rumor of two thousand rebel troops near Charlestown, on the Winchester Railroad, which was telegraphed to Washington last evening, proves to be unfounded, at least nothing can be heard of such a body of rebels. The rumor originated in this wise: It appears that Capt. Baylor, of the Confederate army, (the same man who murdered one of Col. Geary's men while bearing a flag of truce last winter,) has a large lot of property, stolen from the Government, stored at his house, about sixteen miles from here. A train of wagons, with an escort, was ordered to proceed to the rebel Captain's residence and bring away the property. Shortly after the order was issued a paroled rebel prisoner came in with a report that there were two thousand rebel infantry, artillery,

Capture of a Railroad train between Winchester and Harper's Ferry. On Wednesday week Capt. Baylor's company of cavalry, under the command of Lieut. Rouse, was ordered from camp, at Harrisonburg, to Mount Jackson, in Shenandoah county, for the purpose of performing picket duty at that point. Leaving a sufficient picket force for the post under be command of a Sergeant, the balance of the company, thirty men, under Lieut. Rouse and Baylor, proceeded down the Valley road. Thursday night they stayed at Woodstock, and at noon the nent day they left that place and went down as far as Newtown, eight miles from Winchester, which they reached about 10 o'clon of Winchester. The prisoners captured on the train were placed under Lieut. Roland and thirteen men, whilst the remaining seventeen, under Lieut. Rouse and Baylor, proceeded to Smithfield, in Jefferson county, 15 miles below Winchester. Within half a mile of the town they captured the Yankee pickets, who mistook our forces

d near the village of Groveton, the right resting just above and near the village, and the left upon the old battle-field of Manassas. The conflict was terrific. Our troops were advanced several times during the fight, but the enemy fought with desperation, and did not retire until 9 o'clock at night, when they sullenly left the field to the Confederates., The fight was commenced by Gen. Taliaferro's division — the 3d brigade, Col. Taliaferro, on the right, the 1st (Stone wall, brigade, Col. Baylor, next on left, the 4th brigade, Gen, Starke next, and the 2d brigade, Col. Johnson, on the left. The heroism displayed by these troops, and especially by the 1st brigade, was magnificent, and the loss terrible. Gen. Ewell's division, particularly the brigades of Gens. Early, Lawton, and Trimble, engaged the enemy very soon after Jackson's division, and to the left, and fully sustained the reputation this veteran division had heretofore achieved. The battle raged fiercely until 9 o'cloc

ht the enemy fell back to Fairfax C. H., and abandoned his position at Centreville. Yesterday about noon he evacuated Fairfax C. H.; taking the roads as reported to me to Alexandria and Washington. I have, as yet, been unable to get official reports of our loss or captures in these various engagements. Many gallant officers have been killed or wounded. Of the General officers, Ewell, Trimble, Taliaferro, Fields, Jenkins, and Mahone, have been reported wounded. Cols. Means, Marshall, Baylor, Neff, and Gadberry, killed. About 7,000 prisoners have already been paroled, about the same number of small arms collected from the field, and thirty pieces of cannon captured, besides a number of wagons, ambulances, &c. A large number of arms still remain on the ground. For want of transportation valuable stores had to be destroyed as captured, while the enemy, at their various depots, are reported to have burned many millions of property in their reatreat. * * * * * Nothing coul

Some apprehension is felt for the safety of Capt. cavalry company, which, at the time Strasburg was taken, was in the lower Valley on picket service. Capt, Baylor himself was captured by the Yankee cavalry on Friday, between Charlestown and Harper's Ferry. His son, Lieut, Baylor, that morning (in command of the company) maBaylor, that morning (in command of the company) made a dash upon and captured the Bolivar Heights; and then started down to visit the company, and at the road was met and captured by a squad of Yankee cavalry that had been out on a plundering expedition, and making their way towards Shepherdvilles. The company, learning of the capture of their Captain, evacuated the Bolivar Heights, and pushed after the enemy; and although succeeding in capturing five of the Yankees and some steamer eight horses, they were unable to secure Capt, Baylor, who is still a prisoner. Capt. R. has not had the command of his company since April last, at which time he was severely wounded in a skirmish near McCabeysville, in

From Northern Virginia. From those who arrived in this city last evening by the Fredericksburg train, we are assured that all is quiet along our linen. From the Valley we have the information that the Federal force in Winchester numbers about 2,500. They are exercising every and of tyranny that lies in their power, and are making the loyal people of that section feel some of the bleating of &the best Government under the son.& On Monday morning last the Federal commandant at Winchester made a demand upon the Mayor of the town for 2,000 pounds of bacon, and every-day bodies of armed men are sent out into the adjacent country for provisions with which to feed that the Yankee hirelings. About a week ago Capt. Baylor's company of cavalry which had been cut off by the enemy in the Lower Valley, made its way out, but lost seven of its members who were captured near Rippon, in Jefferson county.

The African regiment bill. From information recently received from the Valley it seems that the policy of the Yankee Government for arming the negroes is about being put into execution in that section. It is stated that a negro regiment is stationed at New Creek, in Hampshire county, guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. In an engagement some two weeks ago, near Kerneysville, Jefferson county, between a squad of Capt. Baylor's company and a detachment of Yankee cavalry, a free negro was killed at the head of the Yankee columns. He is represented as having taken a very active part in the fight, and being recognized by some of our men, was made an especial object for the aim of their revolvers.
