One party, commanded by Major Medill, took the Martinsburg road, going within four miles of the town. Here they met a force of the enemy’s cavalry with artillery, which fired some dozen shots upon them. This detachment, having no artillery, fell back. ‘The other column, under Captain Farnsworth , went across the country to where the Harper's Ferry and Martinsburg road is crersed by the Shopherdstown and Winchester tarnpike, whence they took the pike to the crossing f the railrosd bridge at Opequan creek.

These stragglers clalined to be on their way from Hasper’s Ferry, baving, they said, been till this time in search of their respective regiments. Among those also brought back were twe members of the One Hundred and Fighteonth Pennsylvania regiment, who have been living on Virginia soil and Virginia hospitality since the skirmish of last Saturday. Seeing them in the garb ot our soldiers, they were taken for spies and treated as such until they idectified themselves.

No. 170 Prosrxor sTREKt, BRooKLrn, Oct. 1, 1862. 1 beg leave to return you my most heartfelt thanks for your very favorable notice in this morning's iseue of your traly patriotic and world wide eirculating journal of the slight skirmish between Rev. H. W. Beecher and your very humble servant.

About eleven o'clock A. M. on Monday last, I was pass- tng through Fulton street, on my way to Westchester, via. York, carrying a silk flag, presented t me by a patriotic countryman, when { met a gentleman who, I thought, by his robust appearance, would pags “the doctor.” I ac- eosted him; asked him to enlist uader the bannor T car- ried; told him I was recruiting for General Corcoran's Irteh Legion, and that we gave extra bounty, which might be some consideration tw him.

Hanran’s Fenny, Sept, 20, 1802. Everything remains qniet with that portion of the army at thie point, althongh there are indications thas these will net be permanent quarters. Yesterday was the most Sabbath like day that I have seem sineo the army Janded on t@ peninsula in April. Serv! were held in several of the churches in town, and were well attended by quiet and orderly audiences. General Meagher and a large number of officers of the Irieh brigage were quite noticeable at the Catholic ehurch, Divine services were also held in such of the regiments as had chaplains; but these gerAemen are getting rather scarce in the army. Can it be thatthe recent reduction of their pay has anything to do with ‘i? There are, however, some who remein, oriements to their profession, One of them, the chaplain of the Sixty-sixth New York regiment (I re gretI donot know his name), deserves pecial notice. During the battieof the 17th, at Antietam, he spent the whole day upon the battle field, caring for the wounded. Rebel and Union soldiers alike received his attention, and many a gratefu) murmur or glance rewarded him for bis devotion. ‘The rebels are reported as holding Charlestown in eon- siderable force, and their scouts venture down quite close to this place, If they think again to enact their attack upon this place, they will find it a different affair from their recent enterprise. General Summer commands on Bolivar Heights, and they have too respectful a regard for that veteran to interfere with bim. A party of eome fifteen to twenty-five rebel cavalry came across the short hills and down the right bank the Shenandoah to within four miles of Toudon Heights on Saturday. They committed nd depredationg, and appeared to be only in search of in- formation ag to the whereahouts and movements of the Union army. bey & braiied a lady at a farinhouse for selling produce to the Union soldiers, and received a it. ed reply regarding the value of the currency they offered in payment when sales were made to the rebels Deserters continue to come in from the rebels. Yester- day four came in, who said they w citizens of Mary- land, and had not been in the rebel army. Their stories were quite coniradictory, and led to a suspicion they were spies. They were, however, permitted to pass to: their homes; but no doubt au eye will be kept on their meve- ments. The soldiers who come in are really objects of pity. Ragged and filthy, they present a striking con- trast with the soldiers of cur army, with their com- fortable blankets and tents, The contrast must appear quite ag great to the suffering rebels as to us, their neeis making it painfaliy apparent, While the weather has deen quite warm during the day, the sun shining brightly, the nights have been “heavy and chill,”” rendering repose in the open air anything but comfortabie. Coming mostly from a warm climate, and being unprovided with either blankets or tents, without under clothing and —s. a covering for their skins, the effect of these cold nights must be extremely severe to the rebel privates. A Jarge number of contrabands, obtained from various sources, are arriving bere, to be employed in strengthen- ing the ‘defences and such other capacity as they can be made available.

So many fugitives from Martins burg agree in this announcement that it seems entitled to more credit than the uaual stories of the demise of dis- tinguished rebele.
