ns, and though we are compelled to restrain all expression of our opinion, be assured that our sympathies are with you, and we sincerely trust the "God of Battles," who recognizes your cause as just, will so strengthen the arms of your patriotic "boys," that they will not stay the hand until every usurper of your soil shall have been driven therefrom." In addition to the above, we subjoin the following, confirmatory of the above, from the correspondence of the Chicago Times: "Captain Rogers, of the United States Navy, reached Cairo to-day. The purpose of his visit is said to be to purchase a fleet of steamers, to convey a strong Federal force down the Mississippi river. It is given out as a fact that he has closed a trade for the steamer City of Memphis--a sixteen hundred ton boat — and is desirous of purchasing eight others of about equal capacity. Captain Kountz, formerly of the City of Memphis, is spoken of as commander of the fleet. I give this item as a report curr

esting from Leesburg. The Democratic Mirror, published at Leesburg, Loudoun county, Va., says, in its issue of Wednesday Inst: Federal troops have been hovering on the Maryland side of the Potomac opposite the Loudoun line for several days, though no attempt has as yet been made by them to come over. On Monday, a body of them opposite White's Ferry, about three miles from Leesburg, commenced a fire across the river at a party of Confederate troops on this side. A detachment of Capt. Rogers' Artillery, commanded by Lieut. Heaton, answered their call, exchanging with them some thirty or forty shots. The Yankees have no cannon, but seem to be armed with the Minnie muskets, which they use with some dexterity, but altogether without effect, as nobody on this side the river has been "hurt." Gentlemen with spy-glasses assert that they saw several on the other side fall, and that they were picked up and carried off. The firing from the Maryland shore is still progressing at t

eral troops have been gathering for the past week, evidently intending to cross if possible. To frustrate their purpose, Col. Hunton, on Sunday night ordered Captain Rogers, to place two pieces of his cannon at Conrad's Ferry, so as to prevent their landing on this side, which order was promptly executed and Lieutenant Henry Heat stopped for the day. None of our boys were hurt; several of the enemy are reported to have been shot. Col. Hunton was at the Ferry during the entire day. Capt. Rogers was on hand dividing his time between the battery at the Ferry and the battery at Goose Creek. On Tuesday the enemy again appeared at both Conrad's and Edward's Ferry. At the latter place the enemy have heavy cannon, and at which point the rest of Capt. Rogers' command have been stationed. On Tuesday evening Mr. Harding, a member of the artillery stationed at Conrad's Ferry, after having shot with a rifle two of the enemy, was himself shot in the thigh by a large sized musket bal

d Col. Hunton's 8th Regiment of Virginia Volunteers. He has assumed the command, and now ranks as General in the Confederate Army. All quiet now in this neighborhood. There was a fight at White's Ferry, near Leesburg, last week, between Capt. Rogers' Artillery and a portion of Col Stone's command, on the opposite shore of the Potomac. The firing was kept up for two days, but only one man was wounded on our side, while several of the enemy were killed by the fire from Captain Rogers' guns wounded on our side, while several of the enemy were killed by the fire from Captain Rogers' guns. There are various reports as to the loss of the Yankees, and I understand they admit six killed on their side. We are just commencing our harvest, and there is a magnificent crop of wheat. We have a good prospect for corn. Loudoun has more fine cattle than any county in Eastern Virginia, and we can supply an army of 50,000 men for twelve months, if we can secure the present crops. B.

fury. For weeks we had in our possession a letter envelope of one of those saintly bodies, in which our President is represented as hanging from a gallows, guarded by a body of Zouaves under their officer, Ellsworth; those "pet lambs," who have been sent, with their leader, to a place where they receive the only kind of "humanity" that such unparalleled miscreants deserve. Notwithstanding all this, the Southern Government has acted with the most extraordinary humanity. Without parole, Rogers and Wright, who endeavored to burn up our Navy-Yard, at the hazard of multitudes of innocent lives, were released; so was Harney, the Missouri butcher; others have been liberated on parole probably to be violated on the first opportunity. The prisoners we have made have not been placed in dungeons, like our own unfortunate men, but in large, airy apartments, where they have probably fared better than they ever did before. We do not object to this humane treatment of prisoners; on the cont

munition was completely exhausted. A rebel's statement. Captain W. O. Roseberry, who, it will be remembered, was arrested at Point Pleasant, Va., and taken to Columbus, Ohio, but subsequently released, being charged with sympathy with the rebels, was also among the passengers by the steamer Dunlefth. The following is his version of the conflict: On the 17th, Gen. Cox ordered the 12th Ohio, Col. Lowe, two companies of the 21st Ohio, together with the Cleveland Artillery and Capt. Rogers' Cavalry company from Ironton, Ohio, to cross the Kanawha river at the mouth of Pokey Creek, twenty miles below Charleston, and reconnoitre the rebel camp five miles above, on the South side or right hand bank of the Kanawha, three miles below the mouth of Coal river, and to cannonade and to draw them out, in order to estimate their force, and, if easily captured, to take their batteries, the enemy being fortified. When within three hundred yards of the battery, they were fired into
