The pf ople of Cbarlestown witnessed the firBt execution of Abolitionists, end since that time they have been called upon to witness much bloods ied in their vry a-reeta, in a war, the natural eequence of Jonu Brown's raid.

Tbe 8nkees hope that by incarceration they will subdue the lotty spirit ot the leading men i.f the border, and thereby hazier, our return to the Union.

C. . . m j A A writer in a Yankee paper gives the following sketch of tbe noble wornee o( tbe Shenandoah Valley : The fecea that lock down from the windows of the Valley have, in mat,y iis'aoces, a strange and fiscina ticg beauty. Between them acd ore who glances op, that glamour fatal to Pjrrfus rises to cheat tbe senjts and inform the heart with the most persuasive lies There is ;o tenderness ia tbosa faces: Their charm i3 far different from that known to Northern countries. lt ia a steel-cold larguor, to witceaa which is chillins? to the soul. Oae who commeucea speech with thes? damsels fiads hiicself wocderiDg what sort of beiDgs have arisen on this soil in place of tbe children of "Eve. Here are Btniies, and courtesy, and refiaemint ; but, ah! how very like a symbol is the hoHow something, ia the soaadolalll Theses women have suffered. War is nearer their hearts than ours. It is a sterner tbiDg by far. Their hearts are in it, buried, some cf them, in graves that thicken.every day upoa the toil. Along this valley, in which, from the Poiomic to Staunton, there is no law nor safety, the scourge of bat tle is a monthly episode. All the horror, all the sac rifice of war knocks at the doorofevery maosion on tbe way. Property and life are thiDga of chance. People make few plans for the future. To mcrrownay shat ter them forever. Marriage ia little thought of. AU marriageabls men are uader arms, and marriageable women H theai go with little murmur. There is no use in murmuring. War is the one great passion to which bolh eexes ate alike devoted, and for which both are ready to make any sacrifice. ' These womea seem to have tacitly accepted the fac: that until the war ia over courtship ia a mockery that bad batter not be thought of. The maiden who says good bye to her lover, makes up hf r mind for the worst that can befall. Death is the rival of love, and dsath, nine times out of ten, is conqueror. Is it strange, thea, that we who seek for tenderness in the hearts of these women must seek deep? Wrong es is tbe cause. itjhas a rrore widespread, and a bitterer, deeper devoticn amoog the ma36e3 ia this re gion than ours One of the most beautiful of any woman' in the Val ley, who visited the North before tbe war, and woa a belle at several watering places during the eummer months, refused last week to take the hand of an eld frier. d, in Federal uniform, who presented himself at her door. I have beard no kt& than half a dtz n damsels say, in a tone-of perfect calmnes3., that they had rather have every friend th y have killed, and die themselves, than have the South submit to a res '.oration with those whom they esteem to be its enemies. I believe they meant what they said, and would abide by it to the letter. Such women as these- are influential enemies, and it will be said by marjy thht they deserve all the insult and harm they have received ic return for their enmity. . "I do not think so, and, far as I am from defending their devotion to a cause wicked in its inception, I can not refrain from aa much woDder as admiration of the fe among the marjy io the valley who preserve a like devotion to the sacred cause of tbe Union. Ooe inci dent will always be grateful aod thrilling in the memo ry of this armj. While the troops were passing through Winchester, on their return, three young and acccm plisbed ladies, wearing the colours of our flag upf n their breasts, aud waving the same banner borce by tbe marching regiments, stood in front of a siogle dwel ling, smiling we!c me. To the fScera who stopped to greet them they expressed a heartfelt py at the presence of our soldiers, and to thoe officers they bde farewell with tremblitg voices and eyes swimming in regretful, tears. THE PRISONERS OF WAR The New York Times sajs : The duty of the mihfary authorities 13 surely clear. Exchange the white prisoners man for mau at lean ; if no better can be done for the negro troops now, their time will come anon, unless the South ia to hava a mo nopoly of the capture of prisoners. It is doubtless true tbat the maddening torture? and exposures our men have to endure form "parts of the rebel scheme to com pel ns to make an exchange. What if it ia so. They will have tbe odds in their favor in any case, in ell that is meat savage in this war. But let our authorities see to the releaEe of our brave aud patriotic soldiers. GRAND FINANCIAL SCHEME. The following puperb Muncnausenism is sent from Washington to New York : A proposition has been received by tbe Secretary of State frcm au eminent barker of Hamburg, to taka a United States loan of one thousand millions of dollars to be paid into the Treasury, seventy per cent, in out standing bonds, ten per cent, in United States paper currency, and twenty per cent, ia coin, tbe loan to run seventy five years, at an interest of tbree per ctnt. per annum, payable half yearly in coin. The whole amount to be disposed of among the people of the continent of Europe, on the'principle of premium loats. The prin cipal to be reimbursed to tbe holders during the last forty-five years of the term in equal semi-annual in stalments, the Government paying the current interest, premiums and principal, which would require bat fifty millions per annum during the Beventy-five years. The sum of these payments covering tbe thousand millions of principal, eleven hundred and seventy-five millions ot premiums, and one thousand five hundred and seventy five millions of interest. It will be observed that this annual payment of fifty millions is, in fact, no more than the interest of a thousand millions at five per cent. Whether tbe proposition shall be accepted or not , the cfler indicates the confidence of the German capitalists in our solvency and in the-issue of the war. The Philadelphia Inquirer of tbe 30th, under the head of ' the Military Situation,", says : There ia but little to add to our yesterday's reviews of the campaigns near Petersburg and in the Valley. Sheridan is advancing, and there may ba a conflict somewhere up the Shenandoah, but it will hardly as sume the dimensions of a pitched battle between the entire forces of tha hostile armies in tbat direction. Early, by his feint of crossing the Potomac, l a? doubt less gained .sufficient time to get his heavy column well' advanced on their homeward march. Htnca the fight, if any shall occur, will probably be an affiir between the rear guard of the retreatiog enemy and the advance guard of the pursuer. We feel fortified in the opinion that Lee.'a offensive campaign iu tbe Valley is at an end. lt is a drama that is nearly played out. Skilful as Lee is he haa not only met his match but hia master in General Grant, or the drama would have ben a tragedy with a most Eerioua denouement. The danger, we belive, ia now fiaaHyover. But the secs3 of relief of our immediate border carries with it the consideration that peril may be increased elsewhere. A? Le'a army melts away be muat resort to rapid concen trations and desperate attacks on unguarded points or places where he may be mom ;ntarily in a numerical su periority. A'l tbesc matters, of course, engage the constant at tention of our military authorities, and their movements will be shaped to meet the new exigencies aa tbey are developed. Juat as Le's diversion under Erly was checkmated by Grant's detachment of the foices under Sheridao,his new enterprise will be mat by prompt coua- ter movements. But tbe people do not alwajs per ceive what ia going on in thia way, and their apprehen sions of peril become unduly excited. It ia well, there fore, to remind tnem that it .buny continues ma march to Richmond to swell the columns of Lse, there is a vigilant eye on his trackand a ready hand to confront bim with a 6uf5eient force wheu ho arx.ves. Tbe Indisnapolis Journal of August 25th states that Col. R. W.

A InIt, mVinop bn qband does business at the wharf. was called upon a few days since, at ber residence in, OOUlfi Memphl8, Dy au UUUUUiu iuua iciuaic, ttiiw repressnted herself to ba a refugee of ma jy misfortunes, which she detailed in a pitiable mvrauve, concluding by begging her bearer to take her into the family as a domestic, promising to labor faithfully for whatever she received, it only her board, 'i he lady, ia whom the refugee's recital of her sufferings excited much interest and sympathy, told her to call again in a day or two, and that in the meantime she would CDnsult her hus band and a?e what could be done for her. Oo next see ir.c her husband tbe laiy broached the subject of the refugee, and obtained bis consent to employ her about the boose, until she could fiod a home elsewhere. Two days thereafter the wanderer returned, and was installed as " chief cook and bottle-waster," with sole charge of u my lady's chamber." ThiDgs went on u after a fasbiou " tor & weak or so ; the new maid of all work getting through with it very much as a mole would have done, when, one day, owicg to something that was said or done by the dome stir,.' tbe lady became convinced that Betay was. a man-a real man, and com municated her conviction to her liege lord," who poehed tbe idea as ridicu!ou3 ; but the lady waB satis fied that she was righ', and requested Betsy not to en ter her chamber again, as she had concluded to attend to it herself ia future. Finally tbe husband's eyes were opened by catching ths domestic performjtg in the back ' yard a strange operation io a s.iil stranger manner for one professing to be a woman, and he at ence accused 1ier of being a man. The accusation was at first denied, but Betsy was obliged to cave, and fioally did own up to the charge. For further satisfaction tbe husl-and held a private examination of the person of the accused, when be found all th proof necessary. An efficer was sent for to arrest tbe adventurer, who waa apparently not more than 21 or 22 yeara of age ; but while awaiting the arrival of tbe knight of tbe star and club, be beg ged so hard, on his kntes. he was allowed to depjrt in peace, more particularly as dariog his brief stay with the fumiJy, he had maintained excellent conduct. He ia said to be a young mau of formerly loose hab bits, residing in this city, and well known. The only excuse he had to give, when asked tbe reasoo of hia strange conduct, wua that ho wanted to find out how many -virtuous women there were in Memphis. He bad, at lett, found one tbat he considered virtuous, and he would think more kiodly of tbe Eex thereafter. If this, suppose his excus3 genuine, waa not "ridicg a hobby," we would like to know what is. Sl'ge of Charleston, FOUR HDNOBEP AND tWENTY-FOURTH DAY. Tjro hundred shots were fired at Fort Sumeer, and eighty-two at the city daring the forty-eight hours, end ing six o'clock Friday evening. No casualties are re ported. In the same time Battery Wagner fired eighty eight ehots at our Jamea Island batteries, aod the latter twenty-nine shots at Battery Wagner.

The Baltimore American of the lat.says : All tbe nes we have from the Upper Potomac iato the effect tbat Sheridan is watching Early, and that Eariy is watching Sheridan ; that when Eirly falls back Sheridan advances, and wheu Early halts Sheri dan stops short also. Both parties appear desirous of avoiding a general battle. In brief, says the corres pondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer, "so long as the present statua of each army remains unaltered we may expect -the perplexing game of lorward and backward to continue without any decided results being obtain ed." A despatch from Nashville, dated on Tuesday last, states that fifteen .hundred of Wheeler's cavalry entered Lebanon, Tennessee, on tbat day. They had succeeded in capturing General Milligan, the Federal corrmander at Lebanon, acd in forcing the Federal troops to take rrfuge in the college buildiDg, where they were com pletely surrounded. Thirty men had been taken pris oners by the Confederates at an outpost near Lebanon. Another dispatch from Nashville, dated also on Tues day last, reports that Wheeler's main force, from six thousand to eight thousand strouar, waa ner McMin ville, advancing towarda Muriretsboro', and that there was great excitement at Nashville under an apprehen sion tbat the city would be attacked. P.iS3ehgeis who reached Louisville yesterday by the Nashville lrain reported Wbeeler's entire force on tbe Cumberlend river, near Gallatin, where a company of Federal troopa had been captured. It was supposed to ba Wnetkr's intention to advance upon Gallatin. Secretary Stantop states tbat unofficial despatches represent that Forrest, Wheeler and Morgan have joined their forcea, and are operating on General Sher man's comifiunicatiorjS between Nashville and Chatta nooga.

A cone8ponient of the Macon Confederate, who haa been at Andersonville, Georgia, speaks ihua of what he saw and learned there. Andt-rsonville was an interesting and novel specta cle to me. Tbe Yankee prisoners within the stockade about 30.000 in number when closely viewed, resem ble more in their motions a hive of bees seen through a glesa opening than anything else I can think of. The area ot tbe stockade ia being rapidly increase! by Gen eral Winder, who ia evidently deiroua of doing all in his power to make them comfortable. They have thou sands of little huta and tents, variously constructed, which seem to protect them from the scorching ray of tbe sua and the inclemency of tho weather generally. General Winder informed me that very soon the lumber would b3 procurable to put up temporary sb&nties for their comtort. A fine but small stream of water runs thrcugh the stockade, eupplyiDg them with water for bathing and other purposes. I saw hundreds of them bathing in this stream at once.

Over do.OOO have been received since the establish ment of Andersonville &f a military prison. The prisoners are said to be very docile, hut greatly exasperated at Liecoln for not exchanging them. They were greatly elated at findiug a paragraph in one of our newspapers stating that a general exchange of prison ers would soon be resumed. Tte defences of Andersonville are admirably planned by the skilllul vettran, General Winder. Formidable baiterie3 of artillery bear directly on the priauners in the event of an enitute, and strong works, with artille ry, defend the place aguinst hostilities lrom without. t i - X A.
