It will beget peace with less actual conflict in arms, as no sooner than the next presidential campaign opens at the North two parties will arise to crush each other — the Democratic or Peace party, and Lincoln's or the Abolition party. It need surprise no one if this precious conflict opens with such men as ex-President Pierce and Vallandigham, on one side, for peace and recognition; and on the other, Lincoln, or McClellan, or Seward, with some deep-dyed individual as Vice President. Already a peace party is forming there, and if the campaign was nearer we should have but little to do South but to keep our army in the field and await the natural result of party spirit. 6th. Every one knows the quick subsidence of any feeling among the Northern people, especially in the large cities. They must have novelty upon novelty. The

Tyler (search for this): article 2
From Western Virginia.a Confederate Victory. Gallipolis, Ohio, August 29. --A battle occurred at a point named Cross Lanes, on the 26th of August, which is stated to have been a bloody one. Colonel Tyler's force was 900, and was surrounded at breakfast time. 200 are missing. After a desperate fight they were cut through and scattered. The following Federal officers are known to have been killed: Captains Dye, Shurtliff and Sterling, Adjutant L. DeForest, Lieutenant Warrentz, Sergeant-Major Long and others; all the Federal field officers were not hurt. The Confederate forces are reported to have been 3,000 strong, including 400 cavalry. Their loss was heavy. [Of course the latter statement is a mere speculation of the enemy.]
Twiggs (search for this): article 1
i of numerous killings and captures of our forces by the Yankees in the Kanawha country. The "decisive movement" spoken of by the writer seems to have been made, as the enemy's telegraph from Cincinnati, of the 27th, says that "Col. Taylor's command, on the Kanawha, was badly defeated by the Confederates a few days ago." The envelope of the letter referred to is ornamented with several gibbets, with men suspended by the neck Isabelle "Davis," "Beauregard," "Toombs," "Floyd, " "Yancey," "Twiggs," "Rhett &Co." Reports from the Potomac. Passengers by the Central train yesterday reported that fighting was going on the previous day in the neighborhood of Annandale, Fairfax county, and that fifty of the enemy were killed and six taken prisoners. The loss on the Southern side was not stated; but as our troops had passed Annandale at the latest accounts, and were between Shuter's Hill and Arlington Heights, the probability is that the enemy suffered a decided repulse.

Turner (search for this): article 11
t, of the 1st Regiment of Cavalry, ordered Lt. South all, of the Amelia Dragoons, to go with twenty-eight men to the neighborhood of Pohick Church--a part of the country not hither to visited by our pickets — and station pickets at such points as he might think advisable. The Lieutenant proceeded immediately with the specified number of men, (detailed without regard to choice on his part,) from the several companies of the regiment, and on the Braddock's road stationed eight (8) men; at Turner's station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, four; and on the Pohick road, eight more. With the remaining eight he himself went forth on to the Pohick Church. Soon after arriving at the Church, fifteen Yankee Dragoons made their appearance from a piece of pines, and immediately our nine men charged on them and put them to flight. It turned out, however, that these flying fifteen were only a small detachment of a large body of cavalry that were but a little distance off; and in a shor

$100 reward. --Ran away from the subscriber, on the 6th inst., at Vienna, Virginia, a mulatto boy named Sam. Said boy is about 20 years of age, 5 feet 5 or 6 inches high. He had on when he left a pair of white Osnaburg pants and a checked shirt, no coat; is rather slow spoken; no particular marks remembered. The above reward will be given for sufficient proof to convict any white person of assisting said boy in effecting his escape; or twenty-five Dollars will be paid for his safe delivery either to myself or in any jail where I can get him.
