Heavy cannonading was heard at Staun ton Saturday and yesterday morning, showing that Early had turned upon the enemy. If he held them in check until yesterday, tTfbre is a cause lo expect that the next news from the Valley will be of a cheering .character.

Wc learn from tho Bristol Gazette, of the 22d, that . one regiment of negroes and, a few whites, compose the garrison at Knoxville. The enemy's rule in East Tennessee is becoming more despotic daily. Many of the most influential Southern men arc bcinsr arrested and hurried off to Knox ville. Col. A. G. Watkins and Dr. C. Harris arc reported as-having been .released and sent home. Mr. 0; P. Ilogers and family, and Mrs. Captain Wallace, from Mary- ville, were sent out ,to our lines on the 18th Inst. They represent the condition of affairs as horrible in the extreme. . Fifteen hundred well mounted recruits have come into our lines during the week. From Virginia. The Richmond Dispatch of the 26th inst., furnishes the annexed item from the Valley: At last accounts General Early was at Keezletown and was expected to make a stand there This place is about fourteen miles from Staunton, and six from Port Kcpublic. Itis situated on the road. which runs parallel, to the V alley turn pike and leads to Waynesboro'. We heard a report last evening that a cavalry en gagemcnt took place in Page Valley on Friday, in which the enemy were badly "beaten and driven back. Passencrers bv the Central train report that considerable excitement exists in Staunton, and .'that many of the inhabitants are making pre parations to leave. . We are informed that there was no fight of any consequence at Fisher's Hill, and that our loss was very trifling. It is understood that the trains and supplies were brought oflpsafely. From Exs.t- Tennessee. The fol lowing official dispatch has been received at the War Departments. "Headq'rs Army No. Va. " Hon. J, AStddcnv Secretary of War: General Echols reports that on the 22d General Vaughan attacked the enemy at Blue Springs, Tennessee, and drove them seven miles into their entrenchments at Bull's Gap, killing aod wounding sev eral, and taking some prisoners. Our troops behaved well. , SiVncd , . Lm." A LETTER FROM 'FLORIDA.7 ' 1 ' , :o:- ' - . . Spial Lttttr'to Editor of the Timet. ) -r- Dabjbt'S.Stiil, Sept" 19, 1864. ' Editor Caroliha .Titrut Dbak. Sir: As much has beeil, aad Is being said about high prices And the depreciation of the Confed-, erate carreney, at first blush one concludes that eTerythingrand everybody, who has at all contributed tb hign prices, of necessaries or the iaflation 'of the currency , had been thoroughly lampooned and belabored by the press, from the stump, in legislation Halls and in'social ciifcles. The great mistake in all critics and criticisms has ben that the starting corryr. for comment, and if ' you please, abase, in the hope of correcting the evil, has been too far removed ."from- the fountain of the! evil, (hat fountain is the government itself through its officials, thus; The government, has its quartermaster's stores for thei supply, of the" troops to be furnished them at prices fixed by law or byl general drdersj The soldier is employed now at eighteen, dollars per month, he must occasionally have a ccat, hat, pants, shoes r&c. He is allowed in adddition to his monthly pay a small pittance, called "cloth ing money." In all -its payments and air lowances to the soldier, the government deals with him as if it were paying him gold, and counts to him a Confederate paper dollar as a gold dollar, no matter how large the soldiers family or their -necessities, or how muchTprices of living have increased, still the Confederate dollar is to him paid as that much'gold, and he renders as much service for iU On the other hand if 'he wants' a pair i 'of shoes the government charges, tei dollars of that Magold it paid him, wheuf he had been paid the gold, he could have bought ten pairs of the same shoes with the money. A pair of pants bought froin the government at twelve dol lars could 1 bought with gold fcfr one and a half dollars, so it is with every article the soldier is compelled to have. This is not right, it is a great wrong. If the 1 govern ment will jjay j' the soldier gold prices in Confederate money for his services, his hardships and exposures, would it not be equal and right; tp charge him in the same way for articles furnished him to aid and preserve him in and for these duties. If the government gives it to him asa dollar, why not receive, it from him as a dollar, instead of requiring him t( increase 'it ten orwenty fold j before it Vill be received from him by the original maker andrpayor. All this is upon! the principle of a maker of notes, flooding tthe country with them, and placing his agents out to buy them in for !i I V mere trifles." If th e' government will wink at the trader ai(l speculator out of the army, in his high prices, by paying them to him, that it may supply the soldiery w;.th neces saries, it is veiy unfair on the part of that government to juiakc the loss in speculative appreciation f necessaries come from the; mouths and bniks of the pooi and depen-f dent families oj"! soldiers. . Every dollar the government owes the soldiers is owing upon a gold basis. litis services are indispensible, without them jtbe government could not stand an hour;. to preserve his services he must be fed aril clothed, then I insist that he be paid in irticles that he needs at their actual value, n?t at their fanciful or imagin ary and deranged prices. Let a gold and silver estimatebe placed upon every article the government provides for the soldier or his family, thij and this alone is equality between the government and its servant, who is its onlyjstay and support. It' was a1 great mistake!! to have supposed that .the soldier would or could have beenbenefittedby increasing hispay, hat increase only tend ' ed to put more of the money in circulation, then decrease? its value and. increase the prices of articles to be bought wph it, thus still holding every comfort at a price above the soldiers reich. I believe the best thing the government can do is to do away with pay to soldiersof every rank and grade and simply feed and. clothe him and Ms family. Your Friend, II, D. V. V ' i The Sonsof Liberty Sobjiitted. The Sons pf Liberty had a special and axtraordinay meeting at Columbus yesterday, when Vallandighain the sup remo commander of the order,' was present Thequestion psoruidhering to McClellan and alter a icjng aeDate n was ueciaea m the aflirmative by two majoriU'. Vallan- digham professes to "be disappointed, but all this may (be; a feint, on his part, to reconcile the'"un$ophisticated of his follo wers to the bargain signed and sealed and delivered at Chicago, by whieh it was in tended to secure .the union of the peace and so called war tactions on McClellan as the most available candidate. , These same leaders cheated the people, two years asoby pretending to be for a vigorous prosecution oj ine war, anu uiey are irj iug to cheat them now by running a war and i peace combination. 7 I . . . -i . it . 1 It is very clear teat tne men who taicu so vigorously a few da-s ago about peace; who more recently denounced the so-called war jetter of 3IcClellaB), -and who now ad here to the nominationiwithout being able to tell whether they are for peace or war, are? not to be trusted. The leaders will cheat each other for the sake of office and such ineu, if elected, would betray the country. 1 With McClellan in the White House and Yailandigham in the War Office, the country jwonld very soon be at the feet of Jeff Davis; and it is in the bond that Vallandigham shall be Secretary of War if McClellan is elected. We warn the Union nien to be On their guard against the tricks of the Sons of Liberty. Cin. Gazette, Zth inst. ' ; A Victory In the Far West. v ' The Houston Telegraph; Aug. 16th, gives the" particulars of a gallant jaffair occurred near Fort Smith, Ark.j of which we have had no work. .'Gen. Gano with about 1500 of his brigade, and 15Q Choc taws under Col.! Fulsom, determined to move upon the enemy, and what followed is thus described : ' ( '. We traveled nearly all night, halting about' two liours, just before day, to, ar range plans, and give the men . a little rest. Soon after sunrise we drove in the enemy's pickets, passed over a high mountain, and came down into iMazzard prairie, four miles from Fort Smith. At the far end of this prairie, some one and ra half miles from thei fbot of the moun tain we discovered, a beautiful Island of timber, known as Diamond or Pic-nic Grove, at the north end 'of 1 which we spotted our game, making hasty prepara tions to give us a warm reception. Col. Fulsom and Lieut. Col. " Well's were im mediately ordered to encircle the grove on the right, while Gen. Gano, with his brave 500 at a sweeping gallop I dashed round to the ' left. No sooner had the head of our column come within striking distance-than the, enemy' opened updn us with their Sharp's rifie,s. - , It was but the work of a moment for the general to form his men,; and with a Texas yell they dashed forward. .The- enemy were a portion of the 6th Kansas, and this is the third) time oitr brigade had fought them. Their force was variously-estimated from 30( to 500. They had pvery advantage of u?' in posi tion, and fought desperately, more so than usual, as the commanding officer told us aftsrwards that he thought we were all Indians, and they would every one be butchered so he gave orders to his men not to surrender, but to! sell their lives 'as dearly as possible. The fight lasted rhaps half'an hour,1 and; although I will not say jas some newspaper vritcrs do, that it. was the bloodiest battle of the waj, yet it was a 'right gallant little affair, arid reflects credit on our gallant com manded and his brave men, and terminat ed in our complete victory. We captured iuaj. iAenora, commanaing, a lieutenant and 125. r r : Wc captured a large quantity of stores of every -description, but owing j to the heavy reinforcements coming! up irom Fort Smith, we only saved what the men could carry on. their, horses. 'jWe were compelled to burn and abandon the bal ance. ,; '. . yi .- Onr loss was 5 killed, and 7 , severeK. and 2 slightly wounded. That of the enemy between 50 and 60 killed and wounded.
