d saw the marks of the enemy's balls, and it is my opinion, and the opinion of nearly all with us , that no one could have stood on any one place during the whole battle, near Col.Scott's right wing, without being hit.

A correspondent of the Lynchburg Republican, writing from the camp in Pendleton county, Virginia, May 12th, gives the following interesting particulars of the recent fight at McDowell's in Highland; On Monday, May 5th, we left camp at Valley Mills, Augusta county, six miles north of Staunton, with five day's rations, without tents and baggage, save blankets, under the command of Gen. Ed. Johnson, and the next day the advance guard, under Col.

At a little place called Harmersburg our scouts came across about two hundred sick and wounded Yankees, whom they made prisoners, together with twenty-three well ones, who had been left to take care of the sick. It is stated further that Milroy, and the great Pathfinder, have left Pendiston county and taken the back track towards Cumberland, not liking the movements of Jackson in the direction of Martinsburg. Old "Stonewall." seems to have seriously interfered with the "family arrangements" of Lincoln.

t Virginia." In the Federal Senate, on the 23d, Mr. Wade, from the Committee on Territories, reported a bill providing for the admission of the State of West Virginia into the Union. This bill virtually ignores the action of the late Convention held at Wheeling to frame a constitution for Western Virginia, and adds to the proposed new State the entire Valley of Virginia, including the counties of Berkeley, Jefferson, Clarke, Frederick, Warren, Page, Shenandoah, Rockingham, Augusta, Highland, Bath, Rockbridge, Craig, Botetourt, and Allegheny. It provides also for a new convention of the people of the territorial limits designated, regulating the county representation therein, the election to take place and the convention to meet at such time and place as the Governor may designate. The important requirement is also made that the constitution framed by the convention shall "make provision that from and after the 4th day of July, 1863, the children of all slaves born within the

w, while we are watching up here. Our movement of last Saturday, like many others, was not understood even by our knowing ones in the army. If it was designed simply as defensive and to checkmate the enemy, it was eminently successful. If on the other hand, the plan was to attack the enemy unawares, it failed, for they were evidently on the qui vive, and the attack was not made. On Tuesday, two men, of the 31st Virginia regiment, Early's brigade, named Cum and Robison, both from Highland county, were shot for desertion. During the few hours intervening between the dreadful sentence and its fulfilment, they devoted themselves to preparation for their fate, receiving instructions from several Chaplains in the brigade, and especially from Rev. Dr. Stiles, who is setting as general missionary in the army. It was indeed sad to see the poor fellows, not in a damp and gloomy cell, but reclining freely on a grassy knoll, with their spiritual leaders by their side, the blue sky, the
