The following extract of a private letter from an
otliccr of one ol'the regiments in Branch's brigade
shows in appropriate teims the part enacted by
that 'a mints j'iiilh Cartdiita Jlrtytub- in the late
brilliant victory of Stonewall Jackson at '-Cedar

(Icii. Ihaiich led his troops in person into the
hottest of the light, and was publicly complimen
ted by (it'll. Jackson on the hell, for the gallan
try of his brigade. None shrunk or wavered, and
ino.-t think that the victory was so soon attained
by his active .support, and that of bis troops.'
And yet, strange to say, this brilliant feat of (Jen.
Etaiieli is misstated in the Kichmon-.l papers and
ascribed to Hansom's brigade, which at that time
was stationed on the James river, 100 miles off.

Tin: (Iovkrnor Ei.kct. Col. Vance, the
Covcriior elect ol this State arrived in llaleigh on
Saturday afternoon, and that night addressed a
number of the citizens in front of the Varbovouh
House. We were not present, but understand
fiojii those who were, that the Colonel declared
himself in favor of an unremitting prosecution of
the war, and pledged himself to eschew all action
founded on mere partizan considerations. We.
also ticar that the Colonel got through without
telling a single joke, classically remarking to an
ardent admirer, who called on him for a joke, that
the time for joking had fur the present "dried

AnvixisTEiMNti tiik Oath. Wiiorcver the
Federal power has a foothold in Northern Virgin
ia, they are attempting to carry out the odious or
der oi Fope reuiring the citizens to take the
oath to sustain the ( Jovernment. In Frederick,
Herkely, Jefferson, and Clatkc, and perhaps other
counties on the border, proclamations were issued,
lixing a day m the early part ol hist week (or the
assembling of the people at their respective coun
ty seats for that purpose. Of t lie result in Fred
erick and Herkcly we have not heard, but learn
that, in Clarke and Jefferson not oner man was
found so bankrupt in character ns fo respond to
the summons of Lincoln's unprincipled agents. In
Jefferson they were reunited to appear aft the
Methodist Church in Charlcstown, and early in
the morning the Commandant of the Post and two
LieutenanN repaint! to the Church, where they
remained until night, when the books were closed
without the name of a single disloyal Virginian
being registered upon them. A77. Dispatch.
Morgan Aoain TiurxirirANT. Capture, of
Three llaadrcJ. I 'fisnitcrx. Morgan turned up
ar, Callatin, Tennessee, twenty miles from Nash
ville, on the llith. He captured the place and
three hundred prisoners, blew up the railroad tun
luvl, destroyed three trains, and an immense amount
of commissary stores. He sent a dispateh to Ma
jor Smith, at Nashville, saying that he would call
on him shortly, as he had not seen him since Smith
got beat for office in (he Confederate army. Mor

Neil Hrown, claims to be true to the South, and
wants to be put right on the record.
McCi.ELoAX at FiiKitKuicKsTsuitri. Our last
advices leave no doubt of the fact that the young
Napoleon of the Federal army has again "changed
his base," and is now prepared with his grand ar
my to co-operate with the forces of Pope along
the lines of the Kappahannock. The reports that
have been industriously circulated that he was
evacuating the Peninsula, arc at lcngr-h confirmed,
and there seems to be no longer any doubt that he
has swung roun 1 to 1-rederieksburg to act in con
junction with the Federal forces in that locality
fur the defence of Washington. Intelligence from
Fiederieksburg states that he arrived there on
Friday, whether to assume command of the ene
my's forces, or to play second to his rival Pope, is
not known.

THE WAR AT THE NORTH.
At a meeting recently held in Fairfield County,
Ohio, Dr. Olds, a Democratic candidate for Con
gress, made a speech, during which the following
language was used by him in reference to Lincoln's
emancipation scheme :
"I denounce Lincoln as a tyrant, lie has per-4r"-b
Ids soul, lie may imprison me, but 1 will
rfn cry'tyrant. 1 denounce those acts of oppres
sion as foul acts of perjury against the Constitu
tion. And now, my fellow-Democrats, I am going
to have a vision, which, if it were not a vision,
might be treason, but what I now say I say in
sleep, and 1 am not therefore responsible."
"7 sr Mood at the ballot this fall. The President
has issued his proclamation for 'J00,(i00 more
troops, and Congress has passed a law authorizing
him to draft them, lie will have to draft them if
he gets them, because these cowardly Abolitionists
will not enlist. There is an election this fall, and
they want to carry it. They want to draft Demo
crats ; they will draft them to prevent their voting.
They have the power and can so arrange it. You
will not be cheated. 1 tell you, yoit will ind sub
mit to them: icroit's. Ymt will see blood. If they
attempt to arrest us and take us from our families
to support an Administration in its violations of
the Constitution, i'c trill resist cr? to blood. If
the Democrats don't succeed at the ballot-box they
will succeed at the point of the bayonet. What
I mean is, that Lincoln's minions will surround
the ballot-box this fall with bayonets to prevent
Democrats from voting, and we will resist them
with the bayonet."
In other parts ol the North, there is the utmost
repugnance to the draft. All manner of excuses
are resorted to to dodge the law. In New Eng
land, where we have heard so much of "crushing
out the rebellion," they say sickness has spread
with the most alarming rapidity, and the cases are
very distressing. Several have occurred where
men have lost their sight, and spectacles arc in
demand. Some arc badly ruptured, but were
never troubled by it before, and others arc lame.
This disease affect the mind as well as the body.
Thcv sec war in a different lb'ht titan foi merlv.
i . .
and some of the foremost Abolitionists beirin to
think that they would be willing to abandon the
negro if the war could only be closed at once.
The New York Tribune says another way to shirk
tlie law is by g?y hairs, and that the order for a
draft has annihilated the trade in hair dye. The
stock, good-will anil fixtures of the hair dye
establishments are for sale. Nobody, except some
ancient female, litis used hair-dye since the call
was made for all the men "under forty-five years
of age." Crcy hairs are not only honorable, they
are fashionable. How suddenly some men grow
old !
Since the order for a draft, Lincoln has "put
his foot down" more firmly, and his despotism is
more grinding than ever. His myrmidons are like
tigers against all persons suspected of the slight
est sympathy with the "rebellion." We hear of
ladies arrested "for cheering for Jeff. Havis," men
"for shouting for the Southern Confederacy," shoe
makers "for making slippers with the Confederate
flagon them," and parties "for speaking in a man
ner which annoys loyal persons around them!"
Such is a picture of the tyranny now at the
North.
nEROIC INCIDENT IN N. ORLEANS.
Wc arc indebted to high authority for the facts
of the following occurrence in New Oi lcans, intel
ligence of which reached the city yesterday: Mrs.'
II. M. Hyams, wife of the Lieutenant-Governor
of the S.tatc, passed on the street a number of
Yankee officers sitting in a door-way as she went
by. One ol them arose and lollowed her a lew
steps, and arresting her progress by placing him
self in front of her, told her that she had omitted
to bow in passing. She attempted to avoid the
ruffian, when he repeated his remark and asked
her if she had not read ( Jen. P.utlcr's "Order No.
JS" with reference to the treatment of Union
officers and soldiers with respect. Endeavoring
to pass the fellow, he threw his arm round the
lady's waist, and pressed his foul lips upon her
face. As the villain released her from his cm
brace, the Southern lady coolly drew a pistol and
shot him through the body, so that he fell dead at
her feet iu the insolent flush of his cowardly
triumph over the insulted virtue of a feeble and
unprotected woman.
Another of the officers immediately arose, and
approacliing the noble and courageous lady took
her by the arm and told her, so that the other
Federals could hear, that she must accompany
him before Gen. Uutler. lie immediately placed
her in a cab and drove away but not to the
beast's quarters. He directed the cab out of the
city and through the line of sentries, and further
on still, until beyond the reach of the tyrant's
outposts. The act of the heroine had made a
hero of the witness. He told her that he con
.idcred her act justifiable and noble, and that in a
moment he had. determined that she couM not bo
sacrificed to Hutler's vengeance, and adopted the
cxnedient bv which he had rescued her. He con
tinued to escort her on her journey through the j
country until they arrived in the Southern lines j
at Camp .Moore, when he delivered himself up to J
the Confederate authorities, to be dealt with as a J
prisoner or otherwise. !
So ends this heroic and dramatic incident of!
the war. Mrs. Hyams lias set a lofty example for
Southern women, and the gallant gentleman who:
delivered her has shamed its army and the whole
North. We trust he has renounced forever the
service of the oppressors, and that a rank equiva
lent to his deserts may reward him in ours.

YANKEE ACCOUNT OP TIIE BATTLE
OF CEDAR RUN.
We clip the following from the Maryland News
Sheet :
j A fierce nnd well contested battle took place on
; Saturday, the Hh, between the forces of (Jen.
i Pope and those of Stonewall Jackson. Theeu-
gagomoat eomirtoncwl; at Cedar .Mounfatt about
j eight miles south ol Culpoper Court House. Early
I on Saturday morning (Jens. Jackson ami KweU
i crossed the Kapidan in force. Their advance
I guard was speedily brought into collision with the
division of Federal troops commanded by (Ji n.
Hanks. Daring the greater part of the day the
battle was almost wholly confined to the artillery,
but about six o'clock in the afternoon a "eneral
engagement ensued. A bloody and determined
conflict followed, during which the brigade of
(Jen. Williams, constituting the right wini; of the
force under General Hanks, suffered severely. The
whole of Hanks' corps were finally brought into
action, and the fight was continued for nearly two
hours, when "overpowered by superior numbers,
some of the regiments retreated in disorder."
Darkness set in soon after and put a stop to the
carnage. Hut although the musketry ceased, the
Confederate artillery posted upon Cedar Moun
tain kept up a random fire, which was continued
until near midnight. In the meantime the Fed
eral troops fell back to the cover of some woods,
about half a mile to the rear of their original
position, where they were reinforced by the corps
of ."Vie Howell and Siegel, and (Jen. Pope taking
command of the whole in person, the troops of
Hanks again fell back half a mile, "resting on
their arms in a pleasant clover field." They were
speedily, however, compelled to abandon their
bivouac. Some of the men of Crawford's brigade
incautiously made fires that revealed their position
and a number of shells were thrown by the enemy,
which bursting among trains, ambulances ' and
horses, created an excitement that finally increased
to a panic. "The regiments," says the corres
pondent of the New York Herald, "took to their
heels to get out of range; and seeing so many men
retreating, others that had not reached the field
also started to run, and soon the roads were, crowd
ed with frightened people, who added to the ex
isting misfortunes by telling wild stories of re
pulse and loss and discomfiture."
Th e reinforcements brought forward by Gen.
Pope, being in advance, held their ground through
the night, and on the following day it was dis
covered that the Confederates hail also fallen
back, although the reason which impelled them to
do so does not appear to be known.
The loss on both sides is said to be very heavy.
On the part of the Federals it is estimated at not
less than three thousand in killed, wounded and
missing; whilst the Confederates are supposed to
have lost an equal number. The casualties among
the Federal officers are icpresented as having been
unusuallv numerous.
A DARING FEAT.
On the evening of the fHh inst., and after the
battle was over for that day, four members of the
27th Va. regiment, which had participated iu the
hottest of the fight, took it into their heads to have
a little jitivate rcconnoissaticc into the Yankee
lines, on their own account. Their names are
Hospital Steward Patton, Color-bearer Powell,
Lieut. Edgar, and Sergeant Davis. The enemy
had been driven three miles, and the 27th regi
ment was resting for the night on the remote line
of the battle-field next to their rear column. Af
ter traveling cautiously for several hundred yards
without interrujition, these four daring Confeder
ate soldiers, having only two muskets in their pos
session, passed into the Federal line. Shortly af
terwards they heard low talking in some thick un
derbrush, and immediately demanded : ''Who's
there?" '.'Union pickets," was the quick rejoin
der. "Advance, Union pickets, throw down your
arms, and surrender, or wc will fire into you, for
you are our prisoners," at once exclaimed Patton.
"Who arc you and how many of you ?" asked the
"Union pickets," with evident alarm. "You will
soon find out," said Powell. "Wheel into line
cock your guns, and be prepared to fire at the
word steady, hoys, steady !" "Hold 011 1" fairly
shrieked t lie "Union pickets," we are coming
don't fire, for God's sake I" "Conic on then, at
once, for wc have no time to waste here in idle
talk," broke in Edgar and Davis, simultaneously.
Immediately afterwards, one by one, they came
forward, throwing their muskets, side arms, cce,
at the feet of Powell, who received them with dig
nity, but convulsive laughter concealed. One
who seemed to be an officer stepjied uji to Patton,
and presented a brace of fine pistols and a ten
dollar United Slates note as a bribe to let hi:n es
cape. "No, no," said Patton, "you may keep your
money, but wc will take botli you and your pistols
into our custody."
When the last of the "Union jkkcts" had come
forward, and found such a disparity in the number
of cajitors and caj.tlves, for a moment be seemed
to hesitate whether to. yicjd or not. Instantly the
click of two musket cocks was heard, and" two
muzzles were pointing directly at the doubting
and wavering captive. It is needless to add, that
no one deiosited his arms on the heap quicker
than he. In a few moments thereafter, these four
iiitrejtid Confederate "rebeU" inarched into the
camp of the 27th thirteen captured '-Union ick
cts," an-1 handed tlfem over to be sent to the rear.
This incident i.s vouched for by a reliable cfii
cer, who was present when the captive were

COMMON SCHOOLS.
Onice of Sujorintendcnt of Common Schools of )
North Carolina, July 2.", 18(52. j
To thf. Chairmen of the Ilmirdsn .Superititni
tbuts, Gentlemen: At the last meeting of the
Literary Hoard I was directed to request you to
ascertain and-rejiort to me, by September next,
the probable amount dm from Hm School Fund ;a
your respective Counties, and the amonnt you
have in hand to meet those liabilities.
You will, therefore, endeavor to ascertain, by
the first or middle of September, tho whole amouut
due to teachers and others at that time, and what
will be due by the last of the year, to Schools in
ojieratioii, and for other oxpenscs connected with
the Common School System : iu short, you will
make out at; estimate of the amount it would re
quire in your resjectivc Counties to make the
School System even with the world. To this
statement you will add another showing the whole
amount of School Funds in tho hands of each of
30U, and due to you and send in your report of
these matters to me as early in September as you
can.
It is the ardent desire of tho Literary Hoard
that our Common School System should be kejit
up but if unlooked-for accidents should cause its
susjiension, it is imjiortant that it should not be
stojijied until its affairs can all be honorably
wound up.
At no time was there ever more need for nuch
a system ; and it is to be hojied that our legisla
tors will take those wis; views of this subject
which characterized the statesmen of the first
Revolution, and forbear to take a step which will
make us dejiendent for books and teachers, in tho
future, on our present, insolent and malignant
enemies, and give a new argument to those who
falsely decry the civilisation of the Confederate
States. Under God, our Common School System
has done much to infuse that life, intelligence and
public 8jiirit into the masses of the people so
preeminently conspicuous in the present illuslrioiH
po Jtion of our glorious States; and wc should
surely be driven to a more desperate o.-ition than
any our Yankee enemies can force upon us beforo
we sacrifice an Institution which has shown itself
to be, under Providence, a fountain ofjstrengfh
and honor to North Carolina and of prosperity and
hajijiiness to her people.
Hut whatever may happen, our system must
maintain its integrity to the last.
With much respect, 1 am your friend,
(J. II. WILEY,
Siijrrintcudcnt for the tStatr.
Tun Union Cai sk Affected. The Yankees
rarely make such candid acknowledgments as tho
following, taken from the western correspondence
of the N. Y. Herald:
Caii;o, Aug. o. There is no disguising the
fact, that throughout Kentucky, Tcnncsseo and
the whole Mississippi region the guerilla raids,
have affected the Union cause, and the friends of
the Union arc iu a despondent mood. It is hard
ly neeeccssary now to inquire itito the cause of
this unwonted situation of affairs throughout a re
gion tint has hitherto known only Union victo
ries, and from which the Confederate forces had
once been swept; but the fact exists that the Fed
eral troops arc thrown wholly upon the defensive,
without the opportunity or apparently the ability
to make a single aggressive move. This little
raid of Morgan and his band through Kentucky
and across the Ohio, brilliant in itself, has suc
ceeded most admirably in accomplishing tho pur
jiosc for which it was intended.
The attention of our Generals lias been diverted
and opportunity has been gained for throwing
large bodies of troojis into positions threatening
us in various directions, and menacing all our im
portant positions. The rigid enforcement of tho
conscription law has given the (Jon federates under
J'ragg an army at feast double in number to that
umler Grant, and strengthened by the moral jmw
er incident to a force fighting on its own oil
against strangers wholly unacquainted with that
minute tojxigraphy of the country, the knowledge
of which it is so palpably essential to success.
Destruction of a Ff.dkuaIj G un-tjoat. On
the 10th instant, the Federal gun-boat Sumner, in
attempting to make a landing a't IJayou Sara, La.,
ran aground. A demand for her surrender waa
made by the Mayor of Hayou Sara, in behalf of
the military of the Parish of West Feliciana, and
volunteers from Wilkinson County, Miss. Opt-.
Erwin, commanding the Sumner, asked time to
consider, which was granted. In the meantime,
the Federal transport Ceres arrived, and the Con
federates having no artillery to keep her ofT, lio
ran alongside of the Sumner, when the officers and
crew hastily abandoned her and escr-ped on tho
tiatisjiort. Numerous small-arms and a largu
amount of stores were found aboard tho Suinner.
She wii then fired and destroyed The flauics
uiifbilunutcly dc.-droyed the depot of the West Fe
liciana Railroad, which stands near the bank, with
L"U hogsheads of sugar. Part of this sugar had
been seized and left thcie, under cluim, by th
Federal gun-boat Es.-cx.
The next morning, the gun-boat No. 7 and a
transport arrived at IJayou Sara and landed a small
force, which was allowed to march a half luita iu
latid, when tluy were attacked by the Confcdcr
atts, who mortally wounded anJ cajitured one of
the invaders and badly wounded three others.
The i'cdeia.'s then ran back to their boats. Our
loss was one. The gun boats then threw four
.shells into the town, without any damage, and
then retired with the transports, threatening to
rtturu and destroy the town.
Among the troj. hies captured from the Suuincr
were two United States flags, ono pennant and
one chest feignal flags.
