and glory await the brave! By command of Maj. Gen. Halleck. N. H. McLean, Assistant Adjutant General. Charge against Col. Amsanzel--official order from Secretary Stanton. Washington. Feb. 19. --Complaints having been made by Gen. Lander of the misconduct of an officer under his command, and the matter referred to the Secretary of War, the following instructions were given: If General Lander is satisfied that Colonel Amsanzel was guilty of cowardice or misbehavior before General Lander is satisfied that Colonel Amsanzel was guilty of cowardice or misbehavior before the enemy, he may be tried on the spot, and it found guilty, the sentence of death may be executed on the spot, or he may be cashiered by his commanding General at the head of his regiment. The former course is recommended as the preferable one. Cowardice in an officer, exhibited on the field of battle, should receive the swift punishment of death. Edwin Stanton, Sec'y of War.

sident. All the stores were closed, and the churches were well attended. Quite a skirmish occurred Saturday morning near Martinsburg between Capts. Henderson's and Sheet's and the Yankee cavalry, in which we killed several, captured two and a number of horses. One of the prisoners is slightly wounded in the head. They state that Banks has a force of over 20,000 men, and that it is his intention to get possession of Winchester and the Valley of Virginia. Perhaps he may find a few obstacles in the way! The enemy are, no doubt, slowly but steadily advancing, and you may anticipate stirring news from hereabouts in a short time. Gen. Lander's Yankee force is still at the Bloomery, seventeen miles North of Winchester, and will, no doubt, advance as soon as our forces engage Banks's column. Our troops, under the lead of the gallant Jackson, are in fine spirits, and although the enemy may outnumber them, are eager for the fray and sanguine of success. So mote it be! Ned.

The enemy is in considerable force at Paw Paw, in the county of Morgan, and also further up the river in Hampshire. Col. Ed. McDonald, of the latter county, who arrived here to-day, estimates their numbers at ten thousand, under the command of Gen. Lander, (since dead.) This column of attack, has not the advantage of the McAdamized roads which the two others have, and is slower in its progress. General Jackson with his gallant army to here, and presents the only obstacle to the entire occuand must depend upon events not yet ascertained. The combined forces of the enemy at this time, in this Valley, cannot be short of thirty thousand. Whilst its primary object is the occupation of this Valley, it cannot be doubted that it is intended to co-operate in movements East of the Blue Ridge and in the direction of Richmond. Charlestown to the East, and Martinsburg to the North, are each 22 miles from this place, and Lander's forces to the West, about 30 miles distant from us.

Embalming. The Yankee nation is introducing the fashion of embalming its deceased notorieties, beginning with one of the sons of the American Pharoah, who lately died and whose body has been preserved by that prosess. The late Gen. Lander has also been embalmed. They are also engaged in embalming the Union, which has long ago been defunct; but which they fancy they can restore by preserving the externals of life. In due course of time, we suppose Lincoln, Seward, and the Cabinet and military chiefs will also be embalmed, if the world can produces aromatics enough to save such a mass of moral and physical corruption.

He quoted a case, during Mr. Madison's administration, where an officer was sentenced to death by a court martial, but ordered afterwards to duty by the President. But that was in better days of the old Republic, before the faction had raised its hydra head in one of the Departments of this Government. He cited the fact that, by the delay of the trial, one of the most important witnesses--General Lander--had goes to give his evidence in another world. The Secretary of War and the Secretary of State could not make laws, for that belonged to legislative bodies. Mr. Stanton, however, had made a law which was the law of a tyrant. more worthy of St. Petersburg and Constantinople one hundred years ago.
