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. A Coxfkiikuatk Si ( kss.

' 1 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. Mobile Adnili'srr, i',th. No Use for Qi inink. Mr. Kdit ,r : I beg to ' make public through the medium of your paper, j the following certain and thoroughly tried cure 1 ;nt of colton ai)ll o v I , 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 brought III. lliehiitotitt Jjisjiafei. ii CoM!:HK!lATK DisTiiicf Col'ttT.

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. Attention, Soldi eus.
