Jefferson (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 18
From Northern Virginia. --We received yesterday no late or important news from the line of the Rapidan. Passengers by the Central train were unable to furnish even a rumor from the army of Gen. Lee, from which it is reasonable to infer that no military movements looking to active operations are in progress. From the Valley we learn that Major Gilmore's battalion made a raid in Jefferson and Clarke counties in the early part of last week. The Yankees at Charlestown, becoming alarmed, left the place during Tuesday night, and our men entered the same night, and at last accounts were still there. Charlestown is eight miles from Harper's Ferry. The last accounts we had from the latter point represented the Federal force there to be about 6,000. They have been sent off, however, to strengthen Rosecrans or Meade. When at Charlestown Major Gilmore is but five miles from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. We hope to hear that he has tapped that road.
Randolph (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 7
Skirmish and capture of prisoners. --A few days ago two companies of Imboden's cavalry under command of Major Lang, attached the enemy's pockets at Parrot House, Randolph county about miles from Beverly, and succeeded in the capture of thirty-eight horses and thirty-seven Yankees. Three other Yankees were severely wounded and left on the field. One lost a leg and a second was shot in the bowels.

Damage at Blountsville. --The Bristol Advocate, of Friday, gives the following as the amount of damage done at Blountsville, Tenn., by the late raiders: It is a sad task for us to state that the larger and better portion of the town of Blountsville was reduced to allies. W. W James, John Powell, John Fain, Sr., Dr. N. G. Dulaney, E P Cawood, Rev. N C Baldwin, Mrs. Martha Rhea, F L Bumgardner, and Maj J G Eans, are among those whose houses and effects were consumed.

The court-house, with the offices of the clerks of the county and jail, were also consumed. The loss is immense, not less than half a million of dollars.
Dalton, Ga. (Georgia, United States) (search for this): article 2
s deemed reliable authority, that Forrest captured, on Thursday last, 240 supply wagons, containing 14 barrels of flour each, and 164 ordnance wagons, filled with ammunition, and took a number of prisoners, who were made to drive the wagons into our lines. Another officer told us that he saw 40 wagons, which were captured by Wheeler on Tuesday last, containing quartermasters' stores in great variety, and among them quartermasters' papers and a large lot of horse shoes. A letter from Dalton, Ga., to the Atlanta Intelligencer, dated the 28th, says: In the first place, there is no probability of a speedy encounter with Rosy's army for some days. Both armies confront each other, our pickets being within a few hundred yards of the enemy's. Our army lies in a valley forming a semi circle, extending on the left from the base of Lookout Mountain to that of Missionary Ridge on the right.--From the heights of the latter ridge, some 900 feet high, a commanding view is presented of t

Further from the battle of the Chickamauga. [from our Own Correspondent.] Army of Tennessee,In front of Chattanooga, Tenn.,September 25th, 1863. There are some additional facts and circumstances connected with the battle of the Chickamauga which deserve to be recorded. The battle field lies on the west bank of West Chickamauga, and is about eight miles from Ringgold, Ga., and about the same distance from Chattanooga, Tenn., being nearly due west from the former and nearly due south from the latter. It is some four miles below the Tennessee line, and is bounded on the west by the Missionary Ridge, (a continuation of Walden's Ridge in Tennessee,) and on the east by the Chickamauga, or "river of blood," as the Indian name implies. Rossville, the former home of John Ross, the celebrated chief of the Cherokees, is two miles north from the battle field, and situated at the foot of a pass in Missionary Ridge. It was in this lovely valley of the Chickamauga, and along these

It was in this lovely valley of the Chickamauga, and along these mountain passes, that the hostile tribes were wont to meet in battle array and settle their disputes. It was here that the dusky maiden was wooed and won by her forest born lover, and questions of boundary and dominion and revenge found their bloody solution.

Napoleon (Ohio, United States) (search for this): article 1
etter from a Washington correspondent, who says that it has been determined to postpone the next Presidential election until after the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of the Union. The reason he assigns for this hold movement is, that the Constitution requires all the States to vote, and that in the present condition of the country it is impossible to comply with the requirement. Thus Lincoln is President for life, with powers fully as absolute as those of Alexander H. or Napoleon III. The next step will be to make the office hereditary in his family, after which he may assume the imperial crown as soon as he may think proper. What luck for a rail-splitter. Sylla. Cæsar. Cromwell, and Napoleon, were accounted lucky men in their day, but their good fortune was sheer adversity compared to that of old Abe. They were all great men, and won their way to empire with their swords; but the most abject of Lincoln's sycophants — even the New York Herald itself — never call

m and themselves there can be only a generous rivalry in heroic action and patient endurance. Passing from the battle to the present situation there are some important changes to report since the date of my last letter.--We have wrested Lookout Mountain from the enemy, and now command the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad below Chattanooga, the only channel, except his wagon trains, by which he can receive supplies from the rear. His position, however, is impregnable to assault in front. econnaissance was undertaken last night at half-past 10 o'clock, when his pickets and scouts were chased back to the fortifications, but he was found to be in strong force and not yet evacuating the place. To-day, however, our signal men on Lookout Mountain report that his wagons have been taken across the river and parked, and that long lines of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, accompanied by forage wagons loaded with hay, could be seen moving over the bridges and across the mountains to the
