on record the heroism of Miss Sue Kaufman, of Luray, who, when her father was in the enemy's hands, with only a brother of 12 years, took all the negroes and horses, and escaped to a place of safety, spending two nights in the mountains and passing quite near the Yankee pickets. You have probably, are this, corrected your statement as to the burning of the Taylor hotel in this place. The fire was near the depot and adjoining the scene of the fire when the enemy evacuated the place last May. The town is crowded with soldiers who are being organized into regiments, preparatory to being sent to their respective commands.--Everything is as quite as in time of profound peace. No liquor can be find, and the men seem too tired to be other than orderly. Entering the town, I noticed the very extensive fortifications which the enemy erected during their last occupation. They command all the important roads, and may be useful to us. The citizens say the enemy behaved, if possible

broken-down and sick men, some in comfortable houses, but more in barns, stables, and forsaken dwellings. Now is the time for the good Samaritan to travel this road, and he will find his pennies, his beast, his on his kind words, and his intercessions, all useful. We heard en route numerous and most startling rumors as to the progress and operations of our army, as, for instance, that Jackson was in Baltimore, that the Secessionists of that city had taken it without a struggle; that Washington had been evacuated, and that our victorious army was pressing on towards Philadelphia. Had we believed half we heard, we must have renounced the idea of overtaking the army short of Boston. It was really amusing to notice how in the most remote and out of the way region we passed through, the most liberal rumors prevailed. At Front Royal they tell of their late Yankee Provost Marshal, who, when he first arrived, was very impolite, and subsequently gave as his apology that he was utt

From the depot my companion and took our course towards Culpeper Court House. pursuing the route of our army when it attacked Pope at Cedar Run. Nearing the battle field. I found the country awfully laid waste. This was done by the enemy, after we fell back, to avenge themselves for the whipping they got. What I saw of Yankee farms on the battle field, and what I heard fro This created quite a sensation with a squad near us, but we soon determined this to be one of the rumors which darkens the very air now a days, and pushed on without a care. A long here we heard sundry items about the Yankees, and their doings. Pope is described as being short and thick set, with thick hair and beard and very profane. A citizen asked him for protection against some great outrage. "No sir," replied the General, at the top of his voice. "Go to the mountains and hide, I did

Jackson, on reaching Maryland, was presented by a citizen with a splendid charger, which proved too unmanageable for him, who is not used to a gay animal, and threw him, fortunately without inflicting serious injury.--A few days since, Gen. J. recrossed the river, driving the enemy out of Martinsburg. He now has surrounded Harper's Ferry, which is still held by the enemy. When that place is taken, as a base for further operations, our whole army will doubtless move to the interior of Maryland. Saturday night, Ex-Gov. Lowe made a thrilling speech here. He said Maryland, long disappointed, had been perfectly taken by surprise on the entrance of our army and that when it was seen to be no mere raid, 25,000 men would flock to our standard, and a provisional government would be formed. Firing was heard in the direction of Harper's Ferry, yesterday. Massanutten.

Appearing before the General, she asked what was the charge. "You were overheard to say thousand "Hush," cried she, stamping her foot in ! "Use not such language before me. Your Northern ladies may use such words. we do not, and will not even hear them."--She was then dismissed. Gen. Lee is in Maryland. He has issued a model proclamation, promising no interference in the expression of opinion, but simple protection.
