The Terre Haute (Ind.) Express states that one of the drafted men in Linton township, Vigo county, after being drafted deliberately cut two fingers off his right hand for the purpose of evading the draft. The hand shows that two licks were made before the object was accomplished. A recent decision of the war department says that persons who purposely maim themselves shall not be exempted, and accordingly he will be taken to Indianapolis as soon as he recovers.

Virginia Point, Oct. 21.—7 p.m.

The enemy fired three shells at a party of six women this evening. The women were soldiers’ wives who came to Eagle Grove to see their husbands, and were near being killed.

The enemy arrested to-day two citizens of Galveston, Jas. Sherwood and old Pappy Burns, as spies. The latter was released, the former retained.

Oct. 28, 1862.—It is a month to-day since I came here. I only wish H. could share these benefits—the nourishing food, the pure aromatic air, the sound sleep away from the fevered life of Vicksburg. He sends me all the papers he can get hold of, and we both watch carefully the movements reported, lest an army should get between us. The days are full of useful work, and in the lovely afternoons I take long walks with a big dog for company. The girls do not care for walking. In the evening Mr. W. begs me to read aloud all the war news. He is fond of the “Memphis Appeal,” which has moved from town to town so much that they call it the “Moving Appeal.” I sit in a low chair by the fire, as we have no other light to read by. Sometimes traveling soldiers stop here, but that is rare.

OCTOBER 28TH.—Gen. Bragg is here, but will not probably be deprived of his command. He was opposed by vastly superior numbers, and succeeded in getting away with the largest amount of provisions, clothing, etc., ever obtained by an army. He brought out 15,000 horses and mules, 8000 beeves, 50,000 barrels of pork, a great number of hogs, 1,000,000 yards of Kentucky cloth, etc. The army is now at Knoxville, Tennessee, in good condition. But before leaving Kentucky, Morgan made still another capture of Lexington, taking a whole cavalry regiment prisoners, destroying several wagon trains, etc. It is said Bragg’s train of wagons was forty miles long! A Western tale, I fear.

Letters from Lee urge the immediate completion of the railroad from Danville to Greenville, North Carolina, as of vital importance. He thinks the enemy will cut the road between this and Weldon. He wants Confederate notes made a legal tender; and the President says that, as the courts cannot enforce payment in anything else, they are substantially a legal tender already. And he suggests the withholding of pay from officers during their absence from their regiments. A good idea.

Everything indicates that Richmond will be assailed this fall, and that operations in the field are not to be suspended in the winter.

Polk, Bragg, Cheatham, etc. are urging the President to make Col. Preston Smith a brigadier-general. Unfortunately, Bragg’s letter mentioned the fact that Beauregard had given Smith command of a brigade at Shiloh; and this attracting the eye of the President, he made a sharp note of it with his pencil. “What authority had he for this?” he asked; and Col. Smith will not be appointed.

Next to the subject of sustenance, that of fuel commands the greatest attention in this community, and will continue to do so long as the apprehension of a short supply and enormous prices loom up in the wintery future. The supply of coal for Charleston has long since been cut off, and the supply of wood, when it should have increased, materially limited, so that the prospects for the poor, and indeed for all classes, during the coming winter, are by no means cheering. Wood is now very scarce, and commands a very extravagant price. It is to be hoped that some means for facilitating the transportation of fuel to Charleston during the coming winter, will enable the wood dealers to deliver the article at a more reasonable rate.

Advance of the Army of the Potomac Into Virginia.

(Special Despatch to the Baltimore American)

HARPER’S FERRY, Oct. 26, — 6 P.M.

I am happy to be able to inform you that the advance of the Army of the Potomac commenced this morning, and I have reason to believe that before tomorrow night the movement will be general along the whole line, placing the Potomac in our rear.

At daylight this morning the cavalry force of General Pleasanton, with four pieces of artillery, crossed the new pontoon bridge at Berlin, eight miles east of Harper’s Ferry, and proceeded direct to Lovettsville, in London county.

At Lovettsville our cavalry entered about eight o’clock in the morning, and the few rebel pickets stationed there fled before them in the direction of Leesburg. The people of this loyal town, especially the ladies, received our troops with great enthusiasm, and the Stars and Stripes were thrown out in all parts of the town. Many of their fugitive husbands and sons returned with the cavalry, and the demonstration was most earnest and unmistakable.

Without stopping, except to leave pickets and a guard, General Pleasanton moved on in the direction of Waterford, expecting to reach Leesburg early in the afternoon. There was, at the last accounts, a small force of rebel infantry and cavalry at Leesburg, and there may possibly have been a fight there, unless they retreated on hearing of his approach. Read more

At the request of Governor Johnson, of Tennessee, Reuben Ford, W. H. Wharton, W. D. F. Swann, and S. d. Baldwin have been released from Camp Chase, on condition that they report to him at once in person.—Louisville Journal, Oct. 25.

The parties mentioned above arrived in this city yesterday afternoon.

October 28, 1862, Natchez Daily Courier

The Military Board of Concordia have established a Free Market at this place for the benefit of the wives and families of the Volunteers from this Parish, who are now residing in Natchez. They call upon the planters of Concordia to bring up their contributions of the necessaries of life for the benefit of these destitute families. Though Concordia has done nobly for the cause, yet it is not expected that this imperious call will pass unheeded. It is unnecessary to remind our citizens of the vast interests they have at stake, and that these are held from the remorseless grasp of the enemy only by the point of the bayonet and at the mouth of the cannon. We know the brave ones who have periled their lives in this bloody contest, we know those who have fallen to rise no more, and if we would cheer the spirits and nerve the arms of those warworn veterans that remain, let them hear the glad tidings from their loved ones at home that they are made comfortable and happy. It is well known to the writer and many others that some of these families have suffered and are still suffering for these common necessaries of life; this should not be so while the means are so plentiful for supplying them. The wants of the soldiers’ wives and families should be the first and special care of every true patriot.

All articles of family consumption may be left at the Sheriff’s office at Vidalia for distribution.

RICHMOND, Thursday, October 23.

Northern dates of the 20th, received last night, bring us little news. Gold hangs at 130. The Tribune urges the massing of every available man under McCLELLAN, so that LEE’S army may be […..] to a jelly. It, or some other Yankee paper, complains that Buell has let Bragg get out of Kentucky with an immense amount of plunder, and some of our papers are crowing over the same thing, as if plunder in any amount could compensate for the failure of a great campaign and the loss of a State. Buell gets the game; but Bragg and Buell appear to be on a par in the matter of fighting, and reminds me of a story I heard the other day. Two little negros had long annoyed their master by quarreling. At last, he determined to make them fight it out, and brought them together in his presence for that purpose. The boys confronted each other fiercely, but neither would strike the first blow. The master insisted the battle should commence. To which one of the boys replied naively, ‘Me and Jim don’t wants to fight. Master, can’t I hit him a lick and run?’ The Dispatch puts a just estimate on Bragg, when it compliments him for his personal bravery, but complains that he is over-cautious, wanting in that moral courage which marks the great commander. It suggest that General Johnson be put over him, but regrets that circumstances forbid this being done at this time.

A young man of the name of — not Guppy — but Van Pelt — son of the lady who lately eloped, and nephew of Seward — writes to his uncle that his system of lying about battles, originally recommended by Gen. Scott, has done great good both at the North and in the South, ‘the Southern press republish and seem to credit so much of what we choose to give our papers.’ He urges his uncle to push his lies still further, and every Read more

At this time of day, under date of October 23d, the Governor of Alabama has issued ‘An Appeal to the People for Public Defence,’ to wit: ‘Let Montgomery, Lowndes, Dallas, Marengo, Perry and Wilcox (counties) send one hundred (serviceable hands) each (six hundred and all), and in less than sixty days (!) Mobile will be safe!’

It may be gratuitous and apparently meddlesome, but we cannot avoid expressing our great anxiety about the military condition of Mobile and the defences of the great stream which opens the very heart of the South to the gunboats of the enemy. To us this proclamation is distressing. The Governor speaks calmly. Sixty days’ further preparation! He is a sanguine man. Even at this late period he is delicate and abstemious in the procurement of the indispensable labor. We do not see why only six hundred hands should be used, when two or three thousand might be put to work; nor why, in a vital matter of this sort, there should be any dislike to resort immediately to impressment. ‘Too late,’ has been the fate of many imperfect efforts. It has been the death-knell of many bright hopes for the South, and experience does not cure us.

MR. R. THOMASSY, the Superintendent of the Louisiana Salt Manufacturing Company, whose Salt Works, on Lake Bistineau, have been destroyed by a mob, is now going to Richmond on business of the Company. In a very few months, perhaps in a few weeks, he will start also for France and Italy, in order to bring back some of the laborers that he instructed many years ago in the manufacture of salt, according to his new and improved method. Those wishing to confer with him about the salt crisis will find him at the Charleston Hotel, or may write to him by that address.

October 28, 1862, Nashville Dispatch (Tennessee)

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Miss Fanny Britton some time since received a communication from the Colonel of an Ohio regiment, then stationed at Lebanon, Ky., to visit her brother there, who was in his command. Fanny was a resident of Cleveland, and availing herself of the opportunity to embrace a cherished relative, she made up a small bundle, put what she supposed would be sufficient money in her purse, and started for the “debatable ground.” Arrived at Lexington, she found that the regiment to which her brother belonged had changed its location, and uncertain how to proceed, she remained for a couple of weeks until her money was almost expended, when she made up her mind to return homeward, and she set out on foot for Paris, which, travel-worn, she reached late in the evening, to find in the hands of a large body of the enemy’s cavalry. An entire stranger, she was taken into custody, and, it being soon ascertained that she was an Ohioan, she was suspected as a spy, and detained a prisoner in the apartment of a house in the second story.

The guard, however, was rather loosely kept, and the next morning Fanny contrived to explore another room, where she discovered a suit of masculine apparel, which she appropriated and found a tolerable fit. Thus disguised, she made her way to the roof of the house, from which she contrived to descend by means of a gutter spout, when she went to an adjoining stable, and selected one from among a lot of fine-blooded horses, with which she made her way, undetected, out of the town.

She did not allow the grass to grow under the hoofs of her gallant steed, with which she soon reached Maysville, where she took the packet, and with her prize arrived safely in this city. Here she applied to the Mayor, to whom she related her adventures, and who recommended her to the Dennison House, where she was taken under the Read more

About 7000 coats, 2000 over-coats, 3000 pairs of pants and 6000 blankets, have been handed over by the State Quartermaster General to Colonel S. MCGOWAN, acting for the Quartermaster General of the Confederate States. This clothing is intended for the South Carolina soldiers in Virginia. 10,000 we learn, need clothes, and all possible assistance is desired.

A report has been current on our streets for the past twenty-four hours that the rebels are evacuating Murfreesboro, hurrying off, as fast as possible, the flour, bacon, corn, and live stock which they had accumulated there, and taking them to Chattanooga. The rumor comes through secession channels and is generally credited. We have but little doubt of its correctness. We see no reason why the rebels should be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their plundering without interruption. There is a serious defect in our military policy, somewhere. We have been bullied, and the country has been sacked and pillaged by two or three thousand guerrillas, at most, and now we allow them to walk off with their spoils.

October 28, 1862, The New York Herald

Our latest advices from Washington and from Harper’s Ferry indicate an early advance upon the rebel army of Virginia. The main body of that army is still believed to be in the neighborhood of Winchester, although it appears that, by several roads, General Lee has been actually preparing for a retreat back to Gordonsville. We dare say, however, that his movements and designs are understood at Harper’s Ferry and at Washington, and that, although he may be permitted to cross over from the Shenandoah valley to the eastern side of the Blue Ridge without a battle, he will be intercepted and compelled to fight somewhere on the way to Richmond.

We anticipate, upon the approach of our forces, the retreat of Lee out of the Shenandoah valley by the nearest roads for Richmond, with the idea of drawing General McClellan after him into an exhausted country so far that he may be cut off from his supplies, and be cut up in detail. But we do not imagine that General McClellan will be led astray upon any such wild goose chase as this, but that with the rebel forces, bag and baggage removed from the rear of Washington, he will adopt one of several other plans for cutting them off from the rebel capital.

With the recent chilling rains upon his shoeless and half naked troops, Lee cannot remain among the cold mountains of Northern Virginia. He will be compelled to move southward to get into a more genial climate, and with his removal all our forces, from Williamsport to Washington, may be put in motion against him.

In the West it is probable that the late rains will not only very much facilitate our army transportation on the Ohio and up the Great Kanawha to the salt works of Charleston, but also on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. With anything of a rise in these two streams, the army of Bragg will soon be cleared out of Tennessee, and all the remaining Read more

RICHMOND, Friday, October 24.

We are delighted to hear of the repulse of the ‘Abolitionists,’ as Gen. BEAUREGARD very properly calls them, at Pocotaligo and Coosawhatchie, and await with impatience the particulars. We know this is the beginning of the end, and that heavy work is before you; but we have confidence in your soldiers and their chief, and look, therefore, for a repetition of the brilliant affair at Secessionville whenever your day of trial shall come. Have your troops enough to resist the land attack from Bull’s Bay and North Edisto?

It is hard to realize that peaceable citizens have been captured and inhumanly murdered, within sound almost of the Confederate Capitol. But the papers assure us this is so, and in proof they give the names of the citizens murdered and all the attending circumstances. There is a report that the bloody deed was done by Yankee pickets. Be the perpetrators whom they may, this outrage ought to stir the Government up to retaliation. — Heretofore most of the murders and outrages have been committed in the West and Southwest, too far from our great officials to excite much feeling among them. Now that the demons have begun their work so close to the seat of Government, it is to be hoped that long-deferred justice will be done.

In the absence of important news from our armies, I give you some items from the New York World, of the 20th, a copy of which lies before me. The World says the result of the late elections does not indicate any abatement of the war spirit of the North. It is a protest against the illboding policy of the Abolitionists.

There is now a very large Union army in Western Virginia, under Gens. COX, MILROY and MORGAN, but it is doubtful whether they will have anything to do until next spring. The Read more

Hunting is very popular about these days. That is why Mr. Green concluded to go on a little trip to Indiana, “a huntin’.” Whether that was the reason that “another man,” or a woman in another man’s apparel concluded to go too, we are not informed, but when a woman in that apparel came up by due course of law, with no suspension of the habeas corpus, nor of the Constitution, before Justice Cunningham, it appeared that there was an intent on the part of both to go “a huntin’” to Indiana. The justice didn’t like the dress, and told the lady that she mustn’t do so any more, to which she agreed.

October 28, 1862, The New York Herald

The rumors of an advance of our army into Virginia which created some excitement yesterday receive confirmation by later despatches from various points. General McClellan moved his headquarters yesterday to the Virginia side of the Potomac. At daylight General Pleasanton’s cavalry crossed the river at Berlin and pushed on to Lovettsville, in the direction of Leesburg, which point he was supposed to have occupied immediately. General Burnside followed with his corps, and took up a position near Lovettsville. No battle appears to have occurred. Up to last evening everything was quiet. General Pleasanton was said to be within a few hours’ march of the rebel Longstreet’s forces.

The recent rains, which ceased at ten o’clock yesterday, have not materially interfered with the fords at either Shepherdstown or Williamsport. At Harper’s Ferry the water rose two inches, and the Shenandoah was increased four inches at the same point.

The rebel cavalry, in considerable numbers, continue to show themselves between Martinsburg and Cherry run, and a regiment was seen and fired at opposite Sharpsburg on Monday; but the main body of the enemy seem to have fallen back beyond Winchester. It is thought that Gen. Lee is making as fast as possible for Gordonsville.

Despatches from Cairo, Ill., tell of a desperate fight which took place at Waverley, in Tennessee, on Thursday last. It appears that a rebel force 800 strong attacked a party of 200 Union troops at that place, which is located about twenty miles southwest of Fort Donelson. After a severe fight our men, though greatly inferior in numbers, completely routed the enemy, killing twenty-four and capturing twenty-five of them. Rumors were rife in Cairo yesterday of a fight going on at Bolivar, and other statements would seem to confirm it, for it was reported at Corinth that the rebel General Price was within four miles of that place the day before yesterday, with a very large force.

On Tuesday afternoon last about 4 o’clock, six deserters arrived in Marietta from Atlanta. They were led by a man of the name of Crawford. About dusk, they assaulted and beat several of our citizens without provocation. Between 7 and 8 o’clock, they marched to the depot, halted near the Telegraph Office and Crawford gave the order to fire—firing himself first among the large crowd assembled of men, women and children. A young soldier, of estimable character, who had just bid adieu to his aged father, of the name of Stephen Griffin, of Paulding county, was instantly killed and another wounded. The order was given to reload, but before any further opportunity was given to fire, the citizens with sticks and rocks knocked down and secured four of the party. The fifth was secured towards daylight. Crawford escaped and is at large. The five taken were carried back to Col. Lee to Atlanta.

This outrage would disgrace the annals of Mexico. It was savage and apparently without a motive, save that which would animate a fiend.

The Atlanta Confederacy in its account of this unprovoked outrage and murder has so mixed up truth with misrepresentation as to produce a very false impression with reference to our lace. It is true that bar rooms are open in Marietta (we regret that it is so, though they are not as numerous as formerly) and it is very probable that the deserters drank at them, but they had obtained liquor before they arrived at Marietta.

They commenced their outrages an hour or two after their arrival by knocking down unoffending men on the side walk. And it is not true that “they got into a furious row with some of the people of Marietta.” This would make the impression that there were two parties engaged in the row, when the shooting among the crowd was unexpected—unprovoked by all those who had assembled (as is usually the case) at the depot just on the eve of the arrival of the train.

We learn that the men have been turned over to the civil authorities of this county. This is, perhaps, the best disposition of the case and here we leave it.—Marietta Advocate.

The republican presses and the republican orators have been very much exercised of late, on account of the scarcity of laborers to gather the crops, and hence have argued that it was necessary to import negroes to do that business. This was proposed in a company of young ladies at Princeville the other day, when they said unanimously, they knew the corn crop was heavy, and men to gather it scarce, but rather than have the state flooded with negroes to compete with white men, they would themselves gather the crops. They could do it and they would, before they would consent to any measure which would degrade their brothers so low as to be obliged to labor by the side, or come in competition with negroes. We like that spirit. We shall not despair of the country when we have such women in the land. We never said “God bless the women,” with more soul in it than in view of such a determination on their part.

Although a whole regiment of troops (the 12^th Kansas) are stationed t Paoli, in Miami county, still the Missouri guerrillas are continually harrassing the peaceable settlers of that portion of the border. A week or more ago, a body of horsemen, numbering about twenty-five, visited the residence of a Lieutenant in Capt. Ellis’ militia company, took two valuable horses, $50 in money, and quite a variety of house furniture. The Lieutenant was absent. The party visited no other house that night, as it would have been necessary to pass through the brush, where they supposed the militia company was camped. From that time, however, the Lieutenant and a few men kept guard over the house that was likely to suffer next, by doing picket duty. A few nights after, the alarm was given of the approach of a gang from Missouri. The Lieutenant and five men were on hand. The ruffians entered the house, commenced to plunder, and were nearly through, when one of them, stepping out of the building, was shot at by the owner. The alarm was sufficient. All was excitement, and one of the guerrillas asked “Who’s there!” “Enough for you!” was the response by the Lieutenant and his party, all of whom fired shots rapidly from their revolvers. Orders were given in a loud, clear voice, to seize the horses, and the plundering party were so badly scared by these five men, that they ran away and eight horses, fully equipped, were taken, and most of the stolen property saved. The next morning two fellows were taken on the prairie by the militia scouts. They are now imprisoned at Paola, and claim to be loyal.

The settlers have resolved to desert the settlements, unless something is done at once.

The Federal fleet off Galveston, Texas, attacked that city on the 4th inst. A Federal steamer ran past the battery at Fort Point under a heavy fire, and laid to at the central wharf. The battery was then destroyed by the Confederate troops, who marched to Virginia Point. The troops in Galveston left and went to the same Point. The Federal steamers lying off Galveston, five in number, gave the authorities of the town four days to remove the women and children from the place, at the expiration of which time they would shell the place if it was not surrendered. On the 9th inst., after the civil and military authorities had fled from Galveston, a portion of the Federal fleet had steamed slowly up to the city and took positions opposite the principal streets. A meeting of the citizens had been held on the evening previous, and Mr. JAMES W. MOORE appointed Mayor pro tem., who now, with other citizens, went on board Commander RENSHAW’S vessel, and requested to know that officer’s intentions with regard to the city. What followed is thus related:

Renshaw replied that he had come to take possession of the city, it being at his mercy, but that he should not interfere with the municipal affairs of the city, and that the people might resume business as heretofore. He said he would not occupy the place until the arrival of a military commander, but that he should hoist the Federal flag upon the public buildings, and asked the Mayor to have it respected. The Mayor replied that he could not guarantee protection to the flag, whereupon the Yankee officer said he would waive that point to avoid any difficulty like that which occurred in New Orleans, and when he sent the flag ashore he would send a sufficient force to protect it, and that he would not keep the flag flying for more than a quarter or half an hour, sufficient to show the absolute possession. The flag was accordingly soon hoisted upon the Custom House, and kept there for half an hour, when the detachment of marines took it down again and proceeded back to the fleet. Renshaw informed the Mayor pro tem, that he should insist upon the right for any of his men in charge of an officer to come on shore and walk the Read more

OCTOBER 27TH.—From information (pretty direct from Washington), I believe it is the purpose of the enemy to make the most strenuous efforts to capture Richmond and Wilmington this fall and winter. It has been communicated to the President that if it takes their last man, and all their means, these cities must fall. Gen. Smith is getting negroes to work on the defenses, and the subsistence officers are ordered to accumulate a vast amount of provisions here.

Letters from Beauregard show that the Commissary-General, because he thinks Charleston cannot be defended, opposes the provisioning the forts as the general would have it done! The general demands of the government to know whether he is to be overruled, and if so, he must not be held responsible for the consequences. We shall see some of these days which side the President will espouse. Beauregard is too popular, I fear, to meet with favor here. But it is life or death to the Confederacy, and danger lurks in the path of public men who endanger the liberties of the people.

October 26, 1862, Nashville Daily Union (Tennessee)

The continued insults offered to the soldiers and officers of the Union army in Norfolk—principally by the female population—have compelled the Military Governor, Brigadier General Viele, to issue an order to seize the houses of all parties who may be guilty of this offense, and appropriate them to the purposes of the government either for hospitals or quarters.
