THE SCHOOL OF SECESSION. | The Marlvoro’ Gazetie, of last week, has a | long obituary notice of “Lieut. Walter Bowie, i ©.S. A., whe died on Friday, the 7th of Octo- | ber, 1°Gi, from the effect of wounds received in a skirmish in the neighborhood of Sandy Spring,” and who is elsewhere spoken of in the same obituary as “possessed of the most admirable and winning traits of character, quickness of intellect, readiness of apprehen- sion, untiring energy, and an abundant capa- city for any calling, giving him unusual | promise of success in life.” Much ef what is said of the deceased is coubtiess true, but a sad illustration of what the rebellion is doing for just such young men, is afforded in the fact, stripped of the varnish | of friendly eulogy, that young Bowie was } killed by a shot-gun in the hands of a Mont- | gomery county farmer, while he, (Bowie,) with | other S A. young men of ‘nanly and gentle qualities,” were endeavoring, to beat a retreat, | after robbing a country store of its calicoes, needles, and spcol cotton! w7 President Lincotn, in reply to Emerson | Etheridge, Baillie Peyton, and other Tennes- seeans, protesting against the oath which Goy- Andy Johnson has prescribed for voters at | elections in that State, says thai he has nothing | to do with the matter, and declines to interfere to set it aside, as requested.

THE CAPTURED FLAGS—AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW, At eleven o’cloek this morning, General Custer had an interview with the Secretary of War, and said that he had been ordered by General Sheridan to turn over to the Depart- ment the flags captured in the recent battle at Cedar Creek, and to present to the Secretary of ‘War the men who had captured them. The following were the flags presented: Flag of the 2d S.C. regiment, captured by Col. George M. Love, 116th New York vols Fleg of the 13th Va. infantry, captured by Ser- gesnt David H. Scofield, 5th N.Y. cavalry. Flag of the 4ith Georgia infantry, captured by Chief Bugler T. M. Wells, 6th N, Y. cavalry Fisg supposed to be Gen. Ramseur’s head- quarters flag, captured by James Sweeny, ist Vermont cavalry. Flag of the Isth Georgia infantry, captured by Private Ulrich Crocker, 6th Michigan cavalry. A battle flag captured by Capt. Edwards, Ist Vermont cayalry, en- trusted to the care of Corporal John Welch, 5th New York cavalry, in consideration of the fact that Welch recaptured from the enemy the flag of the 15th N. J.infantry, which had fallen into the hands of the rebels in their morning attack- A battle-flag captured by Corporal Daniel P Reigle, 87th Pennsylvania volunteers. The Secretary inquired of Corporal Reigle if the stait to which the flag was tastened, and which bore the appearance of having been hastily made, was captured with the flag. The Cor- poral repiying inthe negative, the Secretary asked how it happened that the staff was not captured with the colors. «Why, sir,” said the Corporal, “he tore the flag off the statt ewhen I came close to him, and I took it away from him.” “Did he skedaddle?” inquired the Secretary. “He did, sir,’ was the prompt response, “and 1 kept the flag.” Flag of the izth N.C. infantry, captured by Serg’t E. PD. Woodbury, Ist Vt. cavalry. The staff! upon which this flag was fastened had evidently been a very excellent jointed fishing rod, and admirably subserved the purpose to which it had been applied. A battle flag cap- tured by private Ira Hough, Sth Indiana in- tantry. A flag captured by private Jeremiah Parks, $th N.Y cavalry, a youth not yet 13 years of age, and who has not vet been in ser- vice two months. The Secretary expressed the hope tbat before the war terminated Parks would win a Major General’s commission. Sweeney, who captured the flag, supposed to belong to the late Gen’l Ram ear’s head- quarters, is not yet 15 years of age. His ex- planation to the Secretary of the capture was very amusing—*Me and another one ot the boys,’ (said he,) “saw an ambulance, and ore dered itto halt. Says the driver, the General ordered the ambulance 1.0 go on.’ Says I, ‘what General!’ Says the driver, ‘Gen. Ram- seur,” Says I, ‘that is the very manI am locking for. Sothe other boy and my- self tcok General Kamseur, the Surgeon, the ambulance, the driver, and the horses.” General Custer explained that the boy had on a@ gray jacket when he made the capture, and had thus misled the driver of General Ram- seurssambniance The Secretary said that he would like to see the ‘other boy,” who Sweeny stated was Corp. Fred. Lyons, lst Vt. cavalry. Secretary Stanton then returned to these sul- diers the thanks of the Department and of tie Government for their gallantry in this great aud brilliant battle, stating that cach of them would be furnished with a medal in commem- oration of their bravery: and, said he, “toshow you how good Generals and good men work together, I have already appointed yonr com- manding General (Custer) a Major Generai. General Custer,” he continued, talking him by the band, “a gallant officer always mukes gul- lant soldiers.” This announcement was received with tre- mendous cheers py the large number ofpersons who had assembled tn the audience room ot the Department, to witness the presentation, while the embarrased looks of General Custer, as he bowed his thanks for the unexpected promo- tion, showed that his modesty was equal to his courage. SUPPOSED SPIES CAPTURED. On Saturday,” picket of Union troops, sta- tioned at the Great Falls, captured George lartin and R. B. Hook, of the Ist Maryland (rebel) regiment, both of whom are rene- gade Marylanders, the former belonging to Baltimore city.

Price and his whole army are reported to be retreating rapidly South. Our cavalry is in hot pursuit, altogether, with Pleasanton’s force, numbering 1,500 men only. The enemy may make a strike for Fort Scott, but he will be too closely pursued to do much damage. Pleasanton closed yesterday’s battle at Inde. pendence by capturing 8 large number of pris. oers and three pieces of artillery. This morning our line was formed five miles south ot Kansas City, on the West Point road, Skirmisbing continued several hours, when the whole force advanced and heavy fighting ensued, The enemy rapidly fell back and formed a new line a mile and a half from their first position. An artillery engagement suc- ceeded, our infantry meanwhile steadily ad- vancing. Fighting war kept up for ten miles from this point, the enemy gradually falling back. Pleasanton then came onour leftand agrand charge was made, resulting in the total rout of the enemy. ‘When our informant left je the front our at eavalry force was in vigorons pursuit. the in fantry following them. Geo. Blunt had command ot the volunteer force on the left and Geo. Detzler that in the centre, composed of militia, who behaved gal- lantly. The 2d Colorado volunteers, Col. Ford, was in the thickest of the fight, and made several brilliant charges. Gen. Detzier, Gov. Carney and Gen. Curtis were constantly with the advance Our loss was not heavy. Thatof theenemy, from the number of dead and wounded left on the field, must have been very great. FROM EUROPE.
