About 10, o'clock in the uiglu he hrard some noise, and taking his gun, went out in his yard to see what was ihe mat ter. On reaching the corner of the house he was called on to surrender ; " whereupon he immediately raised his -uu to fire at the Yan kee demanding it. The cap unfortunately burst, and while attempting a second time to fire off his gun, he was seized by twenty-five or thirty Yankees, who were "secreted under and around his house. lie was taken and. carried to Washington and placed iu the dun geon of the jail, where he remained eight days ; after which ie was sent to F. rt Mcllenry, near Baltimore, when; he re named ia closo con finement until a few days since, when he was exchanged. dpt. Sta dy's sufferings were very severe, having to sleep on a bard l'oor, and with but one blanket, (which he furnished himself.) He bore them, however, with the most heroic endurance, evincing during the whole time, gre-t determination and boldness, and openly manifested upon every occasion his hatred for the enemy, and his disregard and contempt f r their malignity; and though now nearly sixty years old, he looks as well, if not better, than before his long imprisonment. A man of his indomitable spirit and conscientious de votion to his country, can never hrt subdued. Capt. Stanly has been of great service to our cause in the Eastern part ol the State: long may he live to enjoy the reward to which his mcri'ed services entitle him. He is a brother oi the bogus Gov."

The following is an account of the CAFTCllE OP A YANKEE AUMY TRAIN aEVERE FIGHT IN HARDY COUNTY, VA. The following dispatch is telegraphed to the New York papers : Headers Dep't Western Virginia, 1 . January 31, 1864. J Ag;iin we are in the midst of excitement and activity, caused by a severe conflict that took phice ylsterdiy afterno-n in the neigh borhood of Witliamsport, Hardy county, aud which lasted, with considerable persistence and severity, for four hours. - Ou Thursday night a train of about eighty wagons was sent oat from New Creek, heavily ladtn with comn-issary stores for the garrison at Petersburg, and accompcanying the train was an escort of 800 men, being detachments from the 231 Illinois, (Irisa 15-igade,) 4th Virginia infantry, .and 100 of the Ringgold cavalry battalion, the whole under command of J. W. Snyder. Nothing unusual occurred until the train got about three miles south of William sport, when it was suddently set upon at different points by open aud concealed forces of the enemy. Although somewhat surprised by the sudden ness of the attack, the guard at once formed and deployed for action, Then it was that a hand fight ensued, commencing at 3 o'clock in tlie afternoon and lasting for over four hours, at the expiration of which time it was fuuud taat we had about 80 in killed and wou dtd, rank and file. The. enemy's loss is said to be about 100. Iu the early part of the fight the rebels opened fire from four f ieces. of artillery. The superiority of the enemy's strenh there being iu all about ',000 men also gave them an advantage in our hanking movements, and the enemy exercised his ingenuity simultane ously to operate on the fimt, rear and flanks of Coh rfnyder's command. The enemy, however, completely failed of his object, which se ined to be to try io sur round, and, if possible, to capture the wlele tarty. Several times the reb"l lines were broke.., and several times the u-bel char 1:03 were repulsed. At last, as night close !, the superior num bers of the rebels, and not their great lighiiuir qualities, gained them a success. At one time the train was in a fair way of being entirely saved ; but owing to the excita ble ki ".dadlii'i: propeositii s of soir e few of the teamsters, and ihe eil'c t of their induct on o;h-:r-, a kind of panic was ti.eresu'r.

The Richmond correspondent . of the London Times refers to the uudoubting -faith of the North that the Stars and Stripes will ultimately assert their ascendancy over the seceded States, and contracts this firm assurance with the absurd -aud irrational despondency, and douVt which all our marvellous military successes have not been able to dispel from some minds in (he South. The Timea'a correspondent will do us a sertice if he can shove the croakers arid jy-umblcrs into a more hopeful and manly attitude ; but we submit that they are not the true exponents of thespirit and sentiment of the country. Coining in contact chiefly with citizens, and not with soldiers, it is natural that a stranger should ex press tjie opiuions we nud in the letters of the Times. Lut the country is now to be fouud in the army, not among those who stay at home. The heart, the brains, the bravery, the patriot ism, the chivalry of the Confederate States are. to be found in front of the foe, and not in the pursuits of civil life. We must look to the army if we want to know whether the faith and hupe of-the South are equal to the hope and faith of. lue .oriu in rue issue ot the co'utest. An J never did hope and faith burn brighter iu hu man hearts than in those which are readv to shed their last drop of blood in the cause. It is stated by those who h ive recently visited the army that it is really a relief to get away from the gloomy atmosphere cf tradeand speculation and mingle with the fighting men ; it raises the spirits, strengthens the faith, and animates the hope to come in contact with the veterans who, for three yVirs, have f ught triumphantly against the greatest odds the North cWld bring, and who feel as sure that they can whip her again as that they have whipped her . hundred times before. We do not consider that all the non-combatants of the country are faithless and des pondent. But many of them are old men and unmanned by the infirmities of age, and, many more so immersed In the pursuits of money -getting, that tin- sentiment f patriot ism bus; nearly died out. Others are naturally timid, and have the instinct of self-preservation, which has kept them out of the army, unduly developed. Others are faultfinders and factionists, who are more iutc-ut upon gratifying their personal prejudices than so licitous tor the success of the cause, 'flu 11 there are the constitutional croakers, the frogs and bats and owls, who de!i-.;ht in daikm.-s. and who are never so happy as when t: ey are miserable. The smallest cloud in the sky is magnified into a coming thunder storm, ami a regular thunder storm into the end o' the worid. liven when w a e victorious, their utterances f exult, iM ..i arc as Itiguhii ous as iho cio.ving of a Shmghea cock, -in l intimate in every t ne a donht ff th; perma nency of g.r id fortune.

We have rccci?cd a letter from a eubscriber in Franklin county, of whieh the following is aa extract : "As the adherents cf the Standard are try ing, for effect, to blend the present friends of Southern liberty with the original constitutionnl secessionists, and also asser the converse, viz: that the Standard's party ia coniposed'of those 1 who denied the constitutional right of secession; 1 and as, to this end, they deny your charge that . the Standard erer advocated and taught the ! doctrine of secessdon, I retpiest that you publish 1 such extract from your files of that paper as ! prove its advocacy of that doctrine not to . sitisfy me, or anv intelligent reader of the StHt-dird, but to silence unscrupulous dema gogues, and enlighteu the credulous ignorant." It is probable that these Franklin county followers of the Standard have been misled by thut paper of the 8th pit., in which it is said: 41 Nor is it true that we "educated the people in the doctrine of secession," ami then "voted them" into the present war." We never main tained .the docttine of secession as practiced by the cotton States, and we resisted secession up to the last moment." In reply to this a contemporary very pcr titiently asks. " if the Standard did not main tain the doctrine as practiced by tho cotton States,'' what sort of doctrine of s cession was that it did maintain ? To this i f ciur?e tho Standard has not ventured to reply, for il is not easy to conceive of more than two kiuds of secession, viz : peaceable secession, aud se cession with war as a consequence. The cotton States, as is well knowii, always con ' tended f r tho riht of peaceable scces.-do.i ; and we think the Stan. .aid will' hardly 'pre tend that it went for the other sort cf seces sion. But wc intend to comply with our corres pondent's request, by showino that the Stan dard il 1-i maintain " the right f secession," without any p.ta:iticatit)n ab.mt the cotton States or anything the.
