MORE GUERRILLA ATTACKS UPON SUTLERS' TRAINS. THE TRAINS RECAPTURED BY OUR FORU > BRAVERY OF TWO FEDERAL CAVALRYME ates A KEBEL SYMPATHIZER NEAR FAIRFAX KILLED. Ses Meseby’s guerrillas are still intesting the re- gion of country between Alexandria and Fair- tax, and they make continued attacks upon suters’ trains, going and coming. On Thars- day, while a train of fitteen or twenty wagons (returning) were about four m this side of Pairiax, the driver of the wagon ahead noticed @ cavairyman standing in the road, who beck- ened him tocome on. Believing him to be a rebel guerrilla, but at the same time not dariug to disregard the motion to“moveon,” he slowly drove his team forward and was captured and nm into the woods near by. Shortly atter- wards tie restof the train was also captured and was taken also into the same locality, Where were apout thirty of Moseby’s gang, who commenced at once to secure the horses attached to the wacous, and- to compel the drivers and those connected with them to siell cut all they had about them, even to pocket combs and jack-knives Bat the Rebels had scarcely received their booty when the Federal cavairy dashed in | among them and compelled them to skedaijdle in bh azte. It appears that compuny F. of the First Maine cavalry, was on its way to Abxandria to exchange their horses which had been broken down it the service, for new and tresh ones; and the orderly of the Major of the Regiment (boy between 1 and 15 years of age,) aud the Orderly Sergeant of company F, were the firet to espy the greybacks, and withonat hesitation they drew their sabr. and with cocked pistols, followed the course ot the Wagons into the woods. ands» frightened the guerrillas that they took to their horses and scampered off. ‘The guerillas may haye supposed there w: a targer force behind, but certain itis that ti two young men drove the party off. shed right and leit with ir sabres, aud eir pistols free! is upon eeveral ol the guevilias, wlio were taken com- y surpri said therefore could offer no snce.

The statement of the 7rivune is incorrect. The é proceedings of the court-martial were censured because having found Cashel gvilty of the charge of giving intelligence to the euemy un- der circumstances which not only showed him guilty of a violation of the 157th Article of War, of aggravation and breach of fath to the Government: yet the court-martial sentenced him only to an admonition that he shold be | “more on bis guard in answeringenquiries ad- dressed to him by an euemy.

The Republican says: «: Now, for the information of all parties con- cerned, we would briefly but respectinlly state that neither Mr. Sewardmor Mr. Stanton, nor any other Cabinet Minister furnishes material tor the inspiration upon which editorials are critten for the Vetional Republican; that the itor is wholly responsible for the opinions | expressed im its columns, and while he is “inde- pendent in everything aud neutral in nothing,” it will always be his endeayor to avoid giving | uny expression of opinion, especially in times. like the present, in conflict with the known | policy of that wise and experienced statesmen, | | the Chief Executive of the nation.” } But all tamiliar with the straight forward, | good-sense of President Lincoln, must per. | force laugh a hitile at the idea that he | likely to promulge £0 graye a matter in this tlip-shod style im black-cap heads, declaring war with Great Britain, on bis own hook, in the recess of Congrese, and secon edition of the ning Reput Doubtless the Repudiivey supposes that the absorbing occupations of the President and tus philosophic tolerance of all sorts of burdens thrown upon his shoulders by all sorts of peo- | ple, will save it froma formal denial ot this uation. { the President, we are sure, has sagacity to allow himself to be em- as some preceding Presidents by that clumsy wachine called an “organ,” and we take if that the present at- tempted use of his name is not likely to lessen his disincliuation for the possession of suchan undesirable elephant. t wet ins tov FURTHER DOINGS OF MO<EBY .
