CAPTURE OP COVINGTON AND NEW-
1 -K' PORT, KY.
j jGaKNaiBA.Sept. 8. The MemphB4pai, of
the ttb, contains the following dispatch :
j I Boat B arrived last evening at a o'clock, from
Cairo. A gentleman on board bad a copy of an
ptra, just Issued from the .Qazett ? flee at Cairo,
previous to the departure of the boat, which sUtes
aubstantially as follows :
' ! On Thursday mornine the Federal forces at
Covington and Newport were marehed out to
meet Gen. iUrby Smith, wbo waaanxi) mnea on.
After an hour's march Gen. BmKw-as. encoup-
tered, and the Federal forces were drawn up in
Uae: of battle and ordered to flret- After they
fired one round It wu discovered that the Con
federates bad an overwhelming force, and tbe en
tire Federal force was ordered to fall rack, lien
Smith advancing upon tbem.,
When tbe Conlederates reacned uovingion
and Newport, Gen. Smith demanded the surren
der of both places, which was complied with he
taking possession Friday morning at 10.30. A
flag of truce was sent across the river, and the
surrender of Cincinnati demanded, two hours
being allowed tbe authorities. The Mayor asked
for four hours, which was granted. Gen. Smith,
in response to inquiries, informed the citizens that
private property would be respected, but all
United States property must be delivered up.
! A SUGGESTION,
j This war will have failed in one of its most im
portant uses, truly remarks the Eufaula Spirit of
the South, if it do not teach the South a laaaon of
bLdying hate to the United Slates Government
ind its people, a hate so implacable that no tiqne
will appease it, and so rancorous that no inter
course between the two sections will be allowed.
f We would, If we could, 'hava a1 Chinese wall of
seperaiion between us, and it should be death to
pass it. No Yankee or Yankee product should
ever enter our territory. Such a state of things
is, of course, impossible between the two countries
but the incidents of thla "joght to burn into
the hearts of the Southed people such a deep-
seated animosity to tneir invaders, tnat no Kindly
intercourse or liberal feelings should ever exist be
tween tbem. The words of a North Carolina
speaker In the last Commercial Convention at Ma
con expresses our views. - Said he ; "Let us have
co dealings with tbe Yankees. If we have any
thing they want, let them send after it, not coma
for it; and if they, have anything we want, let us
rsend somewhere else for it"
And, in order that this feeling may be perpetu
ated, we should teach our children, among the
Imboos of their cradles, the hUtory of the cruel
war which these people have waged against us.
f Our nursery songs should be legends of Yankee
outrages upon our homes and defenceless women.
oldicrt o( the army for merltorioui BWlcea. was
I . Mr. Haynes, of Tenn-l luhmSttea resolatfoni of
Qur school books should be illustrated with meAdelegate to Congress from that Territory. He
mentoesof Yankee brutality. Tbe Southern legisla
ture should appropriate a fund for engraving the
the monstrous orders of Butler tbe Beast, and
-Pope the Pretender, copies f which should bo J
suspended in every : public school, and in all our
public buildings. At each anniversary of our inde
pendence these outrages should be recited, and
thushste, like a vestal flame, should burn forever
in the hearts ot our people, teaching them to despise,
to tbe latest generations, a nation which lacked
n -thing but the power to blot us and bur institu
tions from the earth.
Hkalth oy the Hospitals. It is very grat
ifying for us to state, as we have no doubt it will
be gratifying to our readers, that the health of
the several large hospitals in tbis city continues
to improve. The late cool spell of weather has
had a very beneficial effect upon the health of
the; city also, and we are pleased to chronicle
lets disease of every kind now prevalent. We
shall be greatly mistake if the returns of the

murdering of a Confederate officer is not all in
deed it is 1-ut a prelude. On tbe dy previous
to McOollough's execution, fifteen guerrillda,
accused of breaking tbeir paroles, were shot by
jthfeorder of a Court Mrtial eseemoled by Col.
Jpho McNeil, of the Federal array. ; Thes men
were not accused of having been captured and
parolid, but of having broken their .parole ad
ministered against their will when tney were
peaceable unarmed oit'z-jns.
. The crimson gore of our murdered feilow-citi-zina
crlea aloud for vengeance. Horrible, oh,
most horrible, are the htdlish deeds perpetrated
,by our foes in the name f Union, liberty and
and freedom. And all lornaer sacrioces were not
enough I S'ill another must be numbered amoni;
the many who have I alien, and yet another ad
ded to the hecatomb of outraged, murdered Sjutb
Tons, ruthlessly slain for loving Ifbarty more than
liin. Shall our government offar no prolkction
id its citizens, deal out no vengeance upon their
murderers, practice no retaliation; make a few in
efficient and insufficient threats, and pass theso
outrages by ? Let stepv at once be taken to bold
prisoners now in-our hands accountable for the
death of these citizens of Missouri, and let our
Government show that it dares to retaliate.
In this case proofs are open and palpable. Tbe
Union press of Missouri announces tbe killing of
the guerrillas and McCoIlough, and while forced
to an acknowledgment of his high moral cbarac
ler and many virtue?, announces the propriety
and justice of tho execution. If further evidence
is needed that thu act was approved by the Gov
ernment we have il in the appointment, one w-jelt
after, of McNeil, the murderer, to be a Brigadior
General. Action, instan action, is demanded
and expected from ihe Governnmen'. of the Con
federate States fr the better protection of its
citiaen who have taken up arms for i'.a support.
GEN. LEE.
A correspondent of the Charleston Courier,
writing from the army, Bays of General Lee ;
You cannot imagine a plainer or more unos
tentatious looking mn than the commander-in-Chief
of the Confederate armies General Lee.
Take a form, say five feet eight inches in height,
its constituents well knit together, full in its pro
portions.and yet without superfluity. Add to
it a well shaped, squarely-built head, with a front
whose every line is marked with energy and ge
nius, a pair of keen dark eyes brown in the par
lor, but black in the field tnat seem to embrace
averything at aglanee;a handsomely shaped nose,
such as Napoleon liked to see on bis Generals; a
mouth indicative of an iron will, and a counte
nance whose natural expression is one of gentleness
and benevolenee; cover the head, mouth, and
lower part of the face with a heavy growth of
gray hair; invent the whole figure with grace,
and an unassuming consciousness of strength,
purpose and position ; let it speak to you in a
voice whose tones of politeness never vary, wheth
er uttered to the highest or the lowest in rank,
and you have as full and complete a description
as I can give of the distinguished man who at
tbis moment holds in the hollow of his hand tbe
destiny of his country.
GENERALS
KEARNEY
VENS.
AND STE-
General Philip Kearney, killed at the battle 6f
Germantown, was well known in tbe old army.
Ue was a Captain in the Second Dragoons during
the Mexican war, and distinguished himself by
his gallantry in tbe Valley. He lost an arm by
a cannon shot while leading a charge against the
retreating enemy after tbe battle of Churubusco
After the war he resigned and took up his residence
in New York. Here he again distinguished him
serf. but not in theflolJ ot Mars. Ha seduced and
and eloped to Europ- with Miss Maxwell, dagh
ter of Hugh Maxwell, a we' 1 known Ney York
law-er and politician, desorting his wife and
children: Airs. Kearny subsequently attained a
divorce.and Capt. Kearny then married Miss Max
well. He entered tbe U. S. army aaio at the
commerce merit of tbe preser.t war, and was, at
fee time of bit deatn, a Major General of Volun
ieer?. He commanded a diision of the army of
the Potomac on the Ooccquan la3l year, and came
to the Peninsula with McClellan. V e do not
know that he did anything remarkable in Vir
ginia, though we hard of him in the battles
around Richmond, especially at Savage's. Station
where he commanded-under Generarbumner.
General Stevens is one of the Northern politi
cal Generals, lie was known as trie great wag

NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA.
Advices received in this city yesterday give
strong hope that the Pierpent dynasty in rorth
western izinia will soon terminate its exi.-ter.c'e
Our forces are making inroads in that section
which it is confidently believed, will speedily end
in ridding that portion of tho State of the disloy
alty with which it has heretofore been cursed.
A few days tince Buckhandon, in Upshur ooun -tv,
was occupied by our forces under fJreuA. G.
Jenkins, late member of Congress from lbeKan
awba district, and it is thought that ere this he has
possession of Graftoo, tbe junction of the Balti
more and Ohio and Northwestern Virginia rail
roads. As Gen. J. advanced the loyal people of tho
country were flocking to his standard by hundreds,
and it Wa? expected that in a brief period of time
he would have a force sufficient to wipe out the
remains of Federalism in the West. k

and thec jrresrjondepta of Northern joornals'the
latter, Th a On e destroy ed my proparty r the oth
er ascribed this destruction; tot be Confederate ar
my, and alleged,'aj the reason' for It, that" I was a
Union man &cy Both chargw.arw",iorfotfy
4Q1 candalmtly false,and'I call upon verj Jaur
.nalist who-baa a spark oi manliness in htm and
who baa given currency to this charge, to publish'
tlrts emphatic den iJ of it. Tba truth li, that
my boose Waa occupied for many weeks by' Yan
kee cavalry, before the battle, and bySetg arid
p;her soldiers after the battler,, until the Federal
army felt, back to the Rappahannock. The Con
federates were never aV m house . except ion,
and one day JUr the battle. V They did. ho dam
age worth montioning, and only such as is insep
arably incident to the presence of troops in large'
forces ' I bad been absent from home in atten
dance upon a sick daughter for one month before
the battle, not anticipating the. occupation of tbe
cbuatry by thaabemy. My bouse and keys and
farm were under the care of my servants. There
. was not a white man on the premises. Detach
ments of cavalry visited my house nearly every
day, and, with . the infantry who after wards
pitched their tents alt around it, stole every grain
pf my corn and every article of my clothing,
nay groceries and every mdreel of toodon the
farm; carried off my cattle.1 ate up my sheep, stole
and'destroved mveleeant librarv. theolocrlc&l and
rimscetraDeouSi selected at much expanse in Eu-
rrope and America, : broke into smalt frgmenls'
etcry article, or xurmture, including cniua and
glass which' they could not carry away. They
had danced in ray house, and one or more of them
arrayed themselves In my clerical gown and al-,
ternatery tAnced and played. Thete and other
facts are attested unanimously by my servants,
not one of whom, (although robbed by the eol
dierj,) . could be seduced or driven from my
service. Tbey wre also proved by my neighbor?,
ho witnessed many of theso, and to whom con
fessions of them were made by Yankee officers
and men. One of these informed a female friend
of mine that a party was arranged to go to my
bouse 'te. next morning and -'clean out" tle
work of devastation, and he assisted my servant
to carry my piano to ray friend's house that
night and sha saved it. , -Let it suffice to say that
when I reached home I could n t find a chair m
sit upon, nor a morsel to eat, nor a vesser of any
kind -in which I could dip a drink of water from
my own spring. The house ind yard were strewr.
with fragments of china and glass and leaves of
books,: including bibles, and other relics pf a once
happy home. -
I looked pon these ruins akaopt proudly as to
kens that I was deemed worthy to sjff .T in such
a cause; and I would rather see my whole prop
erty sunk' by an earthquake than ttaUer, for one
moment, in ray allegiance,. to .ray native State
and to the Southern Confederacy. You see what
hitter mockery it is to call me a Union man.
There are many men who know me at the North,
with wom my word will be a eumcient voucher
fr tbe truth of these facts.

Few men 'are better known at the North
than Mr. Saunders, and yet, by the simplest of
disguises, he escaped recognition. Some year
ago he was much concerned in Lake Superior
raining; and he passed through the Federal
States as a miner, with a strong Cornish brogue,
carrying his tools io his hand. At Niagara,
however, pe was stopped, no one being allowed
to cross tne river wituout a pass, in conversation
with tbe sentry, he expressed in the broadest dia-
ect bu utter unbelief in the possibility of any
man mucn lesi a carriage traversing in salety
such a frail structure. The sentry, equally reeo-
ute, in affirming the contrary doctrine, finally
proposed a practical trial, and with much feigned
trepidation Mr. Saunders consented to walk a
utle way across ; having once started, he did not
consider it necessary to return, but made tor the
Clifton House, where he had to make himself
known before the proprietor of that aristocratic
hotel could be induced to receive a guest of bis
appearance.'
We are authorized to stale that Mr. Sanders is
the bearer of the draft of a com mercial treaty,
which the Confederate envoys will propose to tne
chief European powers, irrespective of recogni
tion or intervention, itecoenition without inter
ventionals considered by President Davis as practic
es! ly valueless, to the Confederacy, and intervention
itself is not regarded as a necessity in tha present
position of anairs, lie believe that no solid and
durable peace can be obtained except by the con
currence of the United States ; and that this con
currence can be won by an appeal to its material
interests, and the resulting pressure by the Nor
thern, people upon their government. In this
view the Confederate envoys will propose to tbe
European powers a treaty of commerce, to take
effect cm the recognition of the independence of
the Uon federate oiatea by tbe United States, or
tbe opening or the ports by other means: guar
as teeing, absolute free trade, with participation in
the coasting .trade and internal navigation to the
powers accepting it, on certain conditions; anil
the same advantage will be proffered to the Uni
ted States, leaving tbe la ter to choose between a
prolongation of the war, witu i:a doubtful issue,
and the immediate restoration of tbe benefits of
reciprocal trade.- Canada paper.
