Mississippi department owing to the laws passed by the fast Congress to regulate the overtand trade to Mixico. The imaptness of these laws is striking. In order to purchase the absolute necessaries of an ar- my there for next winter it requires a half of The laws allow of the exportation of all the cotton, pro- vided one-half its value is brought back in ali the cotton in that departmen:. ‘oods not prohibited by the importation law. ‘o buy the cotton at its present price—$s.50 per pound—would take almost anequal weight of Confederate Treasury notes. The most altern- ative isto impress one half, and thisis now being done withont colorofr law, but under im- perious necessity. The Governor of the State seeing this necas- sity, abandoned the State exportation of cotton and counse!led the people to submit. The State election in Texas was keldon the lat of August, resulting in the choice of Col. O. M. Roberts for Chief Justice, beating Judge James H. Ball(who was thougbt to be no cor- dial lover of the confederacy) by five {to one. Hon. R. A. Reeves is supposed to be elected As- sociate Justice of the Supreme Court, beating Hon. ©. W.

Reports from all over the Stata of the corn and grain crops are exceedingly favorabie. Very heavy crops huve been mada, heavier indeed than before known Tne Houston Telegraph says the wealth of corn produced this year in Texas is wonderful From all accounts the most overwhelming crop has been produced—enongh tosupply the State two years. The cotton crop is mucno injured by the army worm. ‘Accounts ‘trom Matamoros report that the Yankees have come to be in very bad odor among the Mexicans, who offer them every annoyance possible. Those Mexicans who en- listed in their army are now deserting, cross- ing the Rio Grande near Rrownsville and re- crossing a few miies higher up to sell them- felvyes to the Confederates. REBEL ACCOUNTS. The Defeat of Early in the Valley—The Retreat to Fisher's Hill—The Losses in Generals, Men, and War Material Se- vere—General Lee’s Dispatch, &c. {From the Ricnmond Enquirer, Sept. ‘Lhere were many reports current on yesier- day representing that Early had sustained a severe defeat in the Valley. All accounts that reach us concur in the statement that a very beavy battle was delivered on Monday last a tew miles below Winchester, snd that our forces, after battling bravely all day, retired during the night to Newton, and afterwards to Fisher’s Hill, a few miles southwest ot Win- chester. In this fight we last Generals Rodes and Godwin killed, and General Fitz Lee slightly wounded in the thigh. The enemy made the attack in a force much larger than our own, and suffered very severely. The following has been received from General e: P HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF NORTHERN ViR GINIA, Sept. 26, 1561.— To James A. Seddon - Gen- eral Early reports that on the morning of the 19th the enemy advanced on Winchester, near which place he met his attack, which was re- sisted from early in the day till near night, when he was compelled to retire. After night he fell back to Newton, and this morning to Fisher's Hill. Our loss reported to be severe. Major General Rodes and Brigadier General Godwin were killed nobly doing theirduty Three pieces of artillery, of King’s battalion were lost. The trains and supplies were brought off safely. R. E. Lee. The Defeat of Early—Obituary Notices of the Fallen Generals—Ne Battle will be Risked Unless Decisive inits Character, &e. [From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 22.) ‘The telegram from Gen. Lee brings tae un- ‘welcome intelligence of a reverse to our arms inthe valley. Gen. Early has retired from Winchester to Fisher’s Hill, near Strasburg. The varying fortunes of the warin the valley have £0 repeatedly witnessed the falling back and subsequently the advance of our army that this intelligence has not come unexpect- ediy. Atone time the enemy were almost in Lyuchburg; in a few weeks the shells from our guns wereexploded within Washington city. Itmasnot been long since Gen. Early advanced from this very Fisher’s Hill and drove the enemy into Harper’s Ferry. His present position is regarded as impregnable, and From ithe willin due time, again adsance upon the now rejoicing enemy. » The death of Majof Gen’l Robert E. Rodes will be severely felt bv the army of Northern Virginia, which sustains, by his death, the loss of one of its best officers. Brig. Gen. A. GC. Godwin is also mentioned by Gen. Lee as among the killed. Gen. God- win was formerly Provost Marshal of Rich- mond, and was subsequently promoted colonel of a North Carolina regiment. It has been but a few days since the papers mentioned his ap- ointment to the brigadier generalship. (Gen. Boawin was from Portsmouth, Va., and was most gallant officer. No other casualties are mentioned, but our loss is reported very severe. The fall of At- Janta had already cast a gloom over the com- munity; and this reverse will very much in- crease it we fear. It should notbeso. The fortunes of war are always uncertain, and re- ‘verses are, of course, very saddening; but it is unbecoming our people not to shake off their long faces and bring themselves to calmly and resolutely consider their situation. The army is always in fine spirits, and, though defeated to-day, to-morrow it will retrieve the loss, and laugh at the sad and gloomy people who, far from danger, are yet more apprehensive than these who bear its brunt. Desperate efforts on the part of the enemy are to be looked for. The Presidential election compels Lincoln to be stirring and striking. He can only save his election by success this fal); and as there isno chance for peace be- tween bim and McOlellan, we do not see that anything should be risked by us in @ battle which cannot be decisive in its character. Partial successes like this in the valley may elect Lincoln—we hope they will—but they tend very little to any fimal result. They serve the purpose of Lincoln—to defeat McClellan, but they contribute nothing towards our sub- jngstion. ‘But these reverses show that our people must come forth and go to the front; more are there wanted, and more must be had. The long list of government details must be short- ened: the Nitre and Mining Bureau, the Com- missary and QJuartermaster Departments must The contractors must be lessened; the exempts reviewed, and the army increased. But more than this, when men are sent to the army they must not be allowed to desert and siraggle off. Disciphoe must be improved, and as much done by officers of the line as is ureau of Conscription. ‘To stop to mourn over reverses is great folly; they should but nerve the people as they do the army, to meet disaster with the full con- tidenes im the overruling Providence, who disgorge. expected from the seuds yictory or defeat as to Him seems best.
