The Kapsas rufflan, Geary, is at Har- per’s Ferry, occasionally sending out a baud of pilferers to frighten old women and children, and steal and destroy the few remainiag nec ssaries of life from the helpless and dofenceless. A dash was made by a band of these eutlaws.a day or ko since into Charlestown. The male eitizens were arrested and locked wp in one of the churches, whiist the town was searched, and everything that could be conveniently carried er driven away, was @ollected and taken to the Ferry; the widow’s last cow er only hog, was driven away by the unfortunate ne- groes, forced from their homes by these same God. fersaken gcoundre's, who have already made desolate 0 many bearthstones tn Loudon and Fauquier counties. None of the citizens were taken away as far as I can learn,and the town is ence again tree of their loathsome presence, Jackson ‘wouid render himself stili more dear to the people of the valley, if it were possible'for him to be more 80, could he once more surround this plague spot (Harper's Ferry)» end bag this precions lot of John Brownites. General A. P. Hill is between Charlestown, Jefferson eounty, and Snicker’s Ferry, Clark county. He almost @aily sends up from fifty to one bundred Yankees, taken en the mountains. D. H. Hill is not very far from Frong Reyal. The sentiment of those among us, whose opinions are best entitied to respect, is decidedly adverse to any movewent across the Potomac. Let us leave tbe North ‘ become still more entangled in their wranglings and Political feuds and not seek to unite them by threats ofan invasion. Let us act upon the defensive, and then, @though the road be long and painful, the end mus, geoner or later be reached, and liberty and independence ®ecured. This will be a sufficient reward for all our troubles, a boon sufficient to justify ten times the trials c@reat and grievous as they have been) that we have Qireacty endured. On Monday morning, as the enemy were marching on Predericksbure, orders were given to destroy all the cot- on and tobacco in the town. The order was promptiy executed, and several pyramids of eetton bales were soon destroyed, and about a thousand boxes of tobaceo, be longing to speculators, were tumbled into the Rappaban- faock. In the afternoon the enemy appeared on the opye- afte side of the river in greater force, and with guns supe For to ours. Tho enemy is already in Falmouth.

A gentleman from Albemarle county saye there are no Yankee guoboats on the Albemaric Sound ; that they have gone to James river.

D. G. Swaim, the Adjutant General of General Garfleid, also a letter from Gen. Garfield and extracts of letter from Capt. Plumb, Gen. Garfield’s quartermaster. These letters display a vindictive hatred and fault finding with not only Buell, but McClellan and Halleck also, which can be explained in no other way except that these generals are not abolition. ists and ave shown a disposition to conduct this war according tothe rules of civtlized nations. As to Mc- Clellan and Halleck, we fegret to say that their lying despatches have sunk them beneath the contempt of the Southern people and cause them to rejoice that they are forever separated from a nation whose best men are capable of such a reckless disregard of truth und honesty, General Buell is a gen- Ueman, and we but speak the sentiments of the whole South when we express our sorrow that he could ever find it consistent with his honor to condescend to support such a vile cause. We hoped when Livcoln’s proclamation war issued and he could no longer have room for doubt, he would resign, avd, like Nelgon, en dvavor by his future conduct to atone for his past errers But the ungrateful Yankees, to whose blunders w much indebted, have deprived him of the opportuni and, like Wolsey, ‘she falls without consolation.” We know what we ussert when we say that Buell's gentle. manly and truthful administration of affairs where he had command, did more damage to our cause than ail the rest of their generals together: In the absenc of any deta) m or news, other thav that fur- t r age has Itke follow: pt that the laucnage of Buell’s ‘itis T, be not afiaid.? aivo that the upshot of the campaign from he way of Nashville, Bowling Green ani " mberland river, is 9 vis in Kentucky Avie art to Bragg ho ell’s generais hive e evemy and them with great whing of the kind was intended by Buell, » Das asked pardon of Bragg for the unin. layed by any portion of our army. er of the etter relates to perscnal matters rest, except to prove the thieving propensities displayed by all the Yankee oificers who had the epporto- pity.

AN UNEXPRCTED MEETING. The next day, Friday—a week ago to-day—I received word from my brother, saying he wanted to see me that evening at his house in Bleecker street; 1 went there that night, about ten o’clock, and was astonished to find Simms there; Ishook hands with him, and asked him if he knew where Clementina was; he said *‘No;” when | thought it was very strange;] told him that he had seen her the night befure went away. and that there was vo use denying it; be admitted having seen her that night, but denied all knowledge of her whereabouts: I said we could only look to him for information, and my brother said we wore determined to resort to means to mako Simms produce my daughter; Simms said that he understood Clementina was at Newburg; I told bim that 1 had been there, and was told that she was not there since the day of her mother’s funeral; my brother then swoke up and said we were going to push matters with a view of recovering my daughter, Simms then accused me of telling Clementiua something about his keeping company with another woman, which he denied; I told him that | had given my daughter the story just as 1 heurd it from an acquaintance, A RAY OF EorR. We said nothing more, except at parting, when Simms asked to get until Tuesday night to produce my daughter; Lagreed to the proposition, and we left with the under- standing that we were all to meet at my brother's house on Tuesday evening; on leaving, and while walking down towards Carmine street, told Simms that I did not hke to give him until Tuesday: that] telt convinced that de- ceased was in some bad place, and I could not bear to think of her being there; when we partea he said, “Don't try to find her be:ore Tuesday; I will do all I can to produce her by that time;” the last words he said in parting were:--"1 should not wonder if she was in the very ward we live in,’ when Tnesday night came Simms didTot keep the appointment, but came to the church beforehand, and told me that he could not find anything about Clementina; I remarked that J thought it would be so, and said that to.morr w I would use overy means in my power to tind my daughter, whether dead or alive; I signified my intention to part with everything rather than give up the search; he answered that I would be only injuring deceased's character; when I replicd:— “J don’t think she has got any character now,” and said I would do it if I lost my ewn character by it. STARTLING REVELATIONS, We then parted; my brother came up to see me the fol- lowing morning, and wondered why we had not kept the engagement; I then told him all that had trans. pired; we then made some inquiries of Mr. Townler, who lives in our house, regarding Simms’ visits; at my house; he said that he had seen Simms there at all hours of the night—from nine in tbe evening until seven in the morning; I then went to Jeffersou market and had an interview with the Judge; he asked me my daughter's age, and said he could do nothing for me. THE 10ST ONE FOUND. That ovening, while my brother was with me, about three-quarters past seven o'clock, I heard the door bell ring; the dog barked very loud, but I paid no attention to it, not thinking that it concerned me; some one opened the door, and exclaimed, ‘Oh, here comes Clementina;” two men and a woman, who were strangers to me, brought my daughter in: | hardly recognized her at first; I left her with the neighbors who had gathered around, and ran into the shop to inform my man that she had returned; when I came back my attention was drawn to the two men and a woman, and I told my brother to hold them; I kept my eye on the woman, and left my daughter to be taken care of by the neighbors: my brother one of the men where he brought deceased from, when he replied that he get her at the foot of Jay street; I then asked the woman where Clementina came from, ard ebe saia Newburg: I her the name ef the fa- mily she was with, and she number of the street where 3 said that my daughter bad a very severe attack of pleu- risy. a8 mind to go to New- SHC COMPS HOME TO DIE.

IMPORTANT POREROTEING SAFEATO FROM THB UTE. It ts Alated here that letiers, written by Southern men who were meinbers of the Peace Convention to Northern or loyal members of that Convention, are to be published and extensively cireulated in the loyal States about the time of the meeting of Congress. It is said that these let- ters contain a strong appeal for an armistice, and the sot Wement of the difficulties between tne North and the South, upon a basis which was debated in the Peace Con- vention; and that they disclose some portions of the his- tory of that body which have never been published. THE REPORTED REBEL CAVALRY RAID TO PAIRFAX COURT HOUSE, ‘The report current around Washington this morning as to the raids of rebel cavalry to Fairfax Court House are untrue, Colonel Windbam, who made the brilliant move- meut through Thoroughfare Gap recently, states that his scouts now scour the country between Manassas and Leesburg. He promises, if allowed, to clear the Shenan- doun valley of all the rebels in it with a proper cavalry force. GENERAL CAMERON’S OPINION OF THE CONDUCT OF TRE WAR. Secretary Cameron remarked to General McDowell, in Willard’s Hore!, to-day, I should like to see mere fight ing and less investigations. If the programme of the government a year ago had been carried out, the rebellion would have been crushed before now.” THE NUMRER OF SICK SOLDIERS. From the returns in the Adjutant General's office, it ap- pears that one hundred and six thousand soldiers are re ported sick 1 all the armies of the United States. This is about one-sixth of the whole forcefas it appears upon paper, THE CASE OF CENERAL FITZ, JON TORTER. The Court Martial in the caso of General Fitz John Porter is now in session at Butler’s Hall, Fourteenth street. All the members are present; but as yet nothing has been done except to arrange preliminaries. General Porter desires an open court and tho fullest publicity of any and all charges or inquiries made in reference to his conduct during the war. It is beNeved that the President will allow this to be done, General Pope has not yet arrived to prosecute his charges against General Fitz Jobn Porter. ‘The charges against General Fitz John Porter to be in vestigated relate entirely to the famous report of Genera! which found its way into the New York Heratp in the shape of a letter from one of that journal’s regular correspondents the day be- fore it appeared in the papers as an official document from,under the hand of General Pope. The correctness of his allegations in that report against Gen- eral Porter will doubtiess be thoroughly sifted by Judge Advocate General Holt, CAPTURE OF THE REBEL SCHOONER ELIAS REED, On the 5th instant the United States steamer Octurara captured, eff the Little Bahama Bank, the rebel schooner Elias Reed, laden with turpentine, rosin and @ few bales of Sea Isiand cotton. VALUE OF RAILROADS FOR TRANSPORTING ARMY SUPPLIES. During the rest of the Army of the Potomac at and about Warrenton, so large an amount of supplies were thrown forward over the poor one-herse Orange and Alexandria Railroad that at least two hundred and twen- ty-five loaded cars, baving a capacity of over four mil- lions of pounds, have been returned unused. This fact Proves several important points in regard to army sup- plies—that even a single track railroad, in bad condition, under the efficient management of such a superintendent as J. H. Devereaux, can do more in forwarding supplies than many thousands of wagons over the best common roads; that the stringent orders iesued by the Secretary of War and General Halleck, at the instance of General Haupt, whereby officers im charge of ‘advanced depots were compelled to unload trains immediately on their arrival, under penalty of dismisgal from service, aided by other rules and arrangements prescribed by Gen. Haupt, has actually given this single track Orange and Alexan- dria Railroad a capacity for transportation exceeding even that of the double track Baltimore and Obio Railroad when the army was at Harper’s Ferry: and this move- ment—ameuntiug sometimes te nearly two hundred cars yer day, or double the estimated capacity of the road— has been effected without accident. The Army of the Potomac upon leaving Warrenton must have been sup plied in excess, or there must have been great inequality in the distribution, since the loaded cars sent back, and which are now blocking all the streets, sidings and tracks of Alexandria, Would contain rations enough to supply the whole army for ten days. THE PRESS AND THE TELEGRAPHS. ‘The obstructions to telegraphing to the New York papers precisely tho same intelligence that is published here with impunity by official favorites twelve hours be’ fore the New York papers could reach here, have induced the serious consideration by correspondents of the pro priety of dispensing entirely with the use of the tele. graph , and gonding all their communications by mail.
