Views before the battle of Sharpsburg. --The public felt an anxiety to know why, if the Confederate army defeated McClellan at Sharpsburg, he should not have been destroyed. The intelligent army correspondent of the Savannah, Republican wrote the following to that paper the day before the conflict: We are on the eve of a terrible conflict, and Heaven only knowns what the result will be. From all I see around me I feel certain that one of the greatest battle of the war will be fought here tomorrow. The enemy are in tremendous force — not less than 110,000 men. The river is in our front; the Potomac in our rear. If we are defeated the army must perishably if the stream in front and the Blue Ridge, of whose base with proven any . It is an awkward position but the genius of our leaders and the valor of our troops, with the favor of Providence, will yet deliver us. The source of greatest regret is that we shall probably have to recross the Potomac.

e of souls, demoralized by his influence, on his guilty head before this war began, and the blood of the battle field cannot add a deeper crimson to his crimes. And yet, infamous as the man individually is it may be doubted whether the influence of his paper has equalled that of some others of the Northern press. The conversion of the creature was too sudden, his professions too uproarious, his lies too shameless, to command the entire confidence of his new friends. He predicts now that McClellan will have Richmond in ten days, and says that by next December the whole Southern country will be occupied by the Federal troops, and the Union triumphantly reconstructed. It is not wonderful that the Herald has no believers, least of all those who are its own editors and conductors. It may be said, however, both of Raymond and Bennett, as it cannot be said of George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, that they are true to the section in which they live and from which they deriv

From the army in Northern Virginia. Our last advices from our army in Northern Virginia, and the reported movements of the enemy under McClellan, are of an important character, and such as to create the belief that a great battle is impending, if it has not already occurred. All reports concur in the statement that the enemy, in heavy force, have crossed the Potomac at Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown, and that our own forces, under General Lee have taken up a strong position, in which to await the approach of the enemy. The enemy are represented to be approaching by the turnpike road leading from Harper's Ferry to Smithfield, in Jefferson county, and from Shepherdstown by way of the Smithfield and Shepherdstown turnpike. Both of these are fine roads, and leading through the heart of Jefferson county. From Shepherdstown to Smithfield the distance is twelve miles, and from Harper's Ferry to the same point is about fifteen miles. Another account represents that, in additio

From the North. Mobile, Sept. 30 --A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, from Senatcha, says the Memphis Bulletin of the 28th, received here, says that nothing important has been received from the North. All quiet along the lines of the Potomac. Private dispatches received in Washington represent matters dull at McClellan's headquarters. The Chicago Times says that advices from the upper Potomac represent that the Federal troops had made no forward movement, though active operations will not be long delayed.--Gen. Lee's headquarters are at Falling Waters. The rebels are concentrating a Winchester, which place is being fortified.--The loss at the battle of Antietam is officially stated at 9,220, while that of the enemy exceeds 10,000. A special telegram from Washington to the Chicago Times says that the rumor that a draft is about to be made has foundation in fact to the extent that the President has determined in case the country does not at once ra
