200.-Gov. Andrew's proclamation.
Executive Department, Boston, Aug. 20, 1861. To the Citizen-Soldiers of Massachusetts:--
Again, in a moment of public danger, your country calls you to the post where the heroic soldiers of April hastened with generous alacrity and sublime devotion.
Two regiments encamped at Lynnfield, two at Dedham, and one at Worcester, are yet incompletely recruited.
They will march immediately.
Whether few or many, they will march,--armed, uniformed, and equipped,--on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of the present week.
The Seventeenth regiment needs two hundred men; the Eighteenth four hundred; the Nineteenth three hundred and fifty; the Twentieth five hundred; and the Twenty-first two hundred men, in order to fill their ranks to the maximum number allowed by law.
Citizen-Soldiers of Massachusetts!
Duty, honor, the dearest sentiments of patriotic love and devotion, call for your brave hearts and unconquerable arms! John A. Andrew, Gov

202.-proclamation of Gov. Curtin.
Pennsylvania ss., A. G. Curtin, Governor:--
In the name and by the authority of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Andrew G. Curtin, Governor of the said Commonwealth,
A Proclamation to the freemen of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:--
Washington is again believed to be in danger.
The President has made an earnest appeal for all the men that can be furnished to be sent forward without delay.
If Pennsylvania now puts forth her strength, the hords of hungry rebels may be swept down to the latitudes where they belong.
If she falters, the seat of tumults, disorder, and rapine may be transferred to her own soil.
Let every man so act that he will not be ashamed to look at his mother, his wife, or sisters.
In this emergency it devolves upon me to call upon all commanders of companies to report immediately to the Headquarters of the Commonwealth, at Harrisburg, that means may be provided for their immediate transportation, with th

203.-address of General Rosecrans.
To the people of Western Virginia.
In consequence of the perversions of the Disunionists in Western Virginia, and to satisfy constant application for information upon points discussed in the premises, Gen. Rosecrans issued the following proclamation:
Headquarters army of Occupation, Western Virginia, Clarksburg, Aug. 20, 1861. To the Loyal Inhabitants of Western Virginia:--
You are the vast majority of the people.
If the principle of self-government is to be respected, you have a right to stand in the position you have assumed, faithful to the Constitution and laws of Virginia, as they were before the ordinance of secession.
The Confederates have determined at all hazards to destroy the Government which, for eighty years, has defended our rights, and given us a name among the nations.
Contrary to your interests and your wishes, they have brought war upon your soil.
Their tools and dupes told you you must vote for secession

204.-proclamation of sterling Price.
Jefferson city, August 20.
The following proclamation has been received here:
To the People of Missouri:--
Fellow-citizens: The army under my command has been organized under the laws of the State for the protection of your homes and firesides, and for the maintenance of the rights, dignity, and honor of Missouri.
It is kept in the field for these purposes alone, and to aid in accomplishing them, our gallant Southern brethren have come into our State with these.
We have just achieved a glorious victory over the foe, and scattered far and wide the well-appointed army which the usurper at Washington has been more than six months gathering for your subjugation and enslavement.
This victory frees a large portion of the State from the powers of the invaders, and restores it to the protection of its army.
It consequently becomes my duty to assure you that it is my firm determination to protect every peaceable citizen in the

205.-Confederate thanks to Gen. M'Culloch and his command.
The following resolution was introduced into the rebel Congress on the 21st of August by Mr. Ochiltree, of Texas, and was passed unanimously:
whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to vouchsafe to the arms of the Confederate States another glorious and important victory in a portion of the country where a reverse would have been disastrous, by exposing the families of the good people of the State of Missouri to the unbridled license of the brutal soldiery of an unscrupulous enemy; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Congress of the Confederate States, That the thanks of Congress are cordially tendered to Brig.-Gen. Ben. McCulloch, and the officers and soldiers of his brave command, for their gallant conduct in defeating, after a battle of six and a half hours, a force of the enemy equal in numbers, and greatly superior in all their appointments, thus proving that a right cause nerves the hearts and strengthens the

207.-battle of Carrick's Ford.
Richmond Dispatch narrative.
McDowell, Highland County, July 23d, 1861.
I have no doubt you have received various and numerous reports of the movements of the troops of General Garnett's command since I last wrote you, and I now merely write to give a true and accurate statement of the retreat and death of General Garnett--a statement which I defy any one to question, and to which those high in authority will willingly subscribe.
I would have given you the particulars before, but having hard and severe duty to perform, I was not able to do so.
We had been skirmishing with the enemy a week at Laurel Hill, when, on Thursday evening, 11th July, we received an order from Gen. Garnett to prepare provisions for a two days march, shortly after which we were directed to strike our tents, and took up our line of march for Beverly, a distance of sixteen miles, which place we came within three miles of, when we found that a very formidable bl

208.-General Benham's report.
Cheat River camp, Carrick's Ford, Va., July 13, 1861.
General: In accordance with your directions this morning, I took command of the advance troops of your column, consisting of the Fourteenth Ohio regiment, Steedman, with one section of Col. Barnett's battery, the Seventh Indiana regiment, under Colonel Dumont, the Ninth Indiana regiment, under Colonel Milroy--in all about eighteen hundred men — and with this force, as instructed, started from near Leedsville, at about four o'clock A. M., to pursue the army of General Garnett, which consisted, as we learned, of from four thousand to five thousand men, and from four to six cannon, and had retreated from the north side of Laurel Mountain, near Beelington, on yesterday.
It being ascertained that the enemy had retired toward the village of New Interest, and thence, as was supposed, over a mountain road leading by the Shafer Branch, or main Cheat River, to St. George's; the troops were bro
