b 4 GEN. LEE'S FAREWELL TO “MY MARYLAND.” Account of Another Captured | Herald Correspondent. WHAT HE SAW AND HEARD. Opinions of General Stuart and Other Rebels. Fxplanations in Regard to the Retreat from Gettysburg. Way in which the Retreat ‘Was Conducted, &e., ‘The &., Mr. Theodore Ce Wilson’s Despatch. Hacerstowy, Md., July 15, 1863. It is my purpose to give you @ brief account of what I saw aud heard while a prisoner in the hands of General I will not enter into the details that led tomy capture, nor to even the more trivial circumstances con- nected with that event. Without further prefatory re- marks—other thaa to state that it is not my desire or intention to give my own views of the rebel army, its &c., but simply those of the rebel leaders—I will proceed with what may be termed THE NARRATIVE, Major Brown, who commanded the rebel outpost, or. dered me to be taken at once to the headquarters of General Stuart, and to him I went, The General was tound near the Hagerstown road (this was on Monday last), having his headquarters in the open air, in the rear of a Marylander’s cottage. Notwithstanding the owner of this property was a Marylander—even while General ‘S. Was there-—still bis property was much abused. GENERAL STUART. 1 found General Stuart courteous and affable. He was at dinner, feasting on property confiscated from Marylanders or Pennsylvanians. He ques tioned me very porticularly regarding the mili- tia, and particularly the manner of their equipment, In regard to this latter, [asked him why he was so inqui- sitive? He replied by saying that if attacked by the militia—of which he expressed no fear whatever—he wanted to make some approximation towards the value of the property likely to fall into his bands, THR UNION MILITIA, It is my carnest belief that the rebels did not fear the advancing militia forces, and that they would have been only too glad to have attacked them, bad it not been for tho &e. Stuart condition MOVEMENTS OF GENEREL MEADE. Regarding General M.’s forces and movements I could see there was much avxiety, if not some little fear, for the entire success of the rebel plans in the crossing of the Potomac river. But as the afternoop wore iy, and the Unionists did not make a general attack, the same merely keeping up a‘ heavy skirmish—Tho Tebel generais—many of whom I saw—became more and more animated w their remarks, until at last they broke out—particularly General stuart—in laughs and remarks of derision at the easy manner in which, as they styled it, the Yankees could be fooled. ‘Yes,’ said General Stuart, iu presence of Genorals Rhodes and ¥itzbugh Lee, “the Yankees, instead of attacking us, are actually throw: ing up some kind of inlrenchments; and they boast that ‘they are not afraid of us, and are pressing on for a fight. ‘Weill, they’d better come on, and they'll find out whether your half-starved revels have not learned Yankee tricks ‘as well as other things.” On MONDAY AFTRRNOON there were not tweuty five thousand rebols this side of the Potomac, nor were there thirty pieces of artillery. In my telegraphic despatch, printed in Wednesday’s Hx- Ratp, I reierred to the manner of the rebel crossing. Therefore it is not necessary for me to do so again, my main ob,ect now being to give what was excluded from that despatch because of tho inability of the telegraph operators to get it olf, #@ About tive o'clock on Monday afternoon General Stuart removed his head juarters to & point two miles this side of Williamsport. Here he continued to conduct the rebel retreat. Loo was on the Virginia side, ageege | matters there. Gi Lee had gone over, with his staff, the day previous, and to Gen. Stuart was assigned the chief command on this side. THR REVEL RETRRATING. Every movement in retreat was made in the best of order. Command after command was withdrawn iu the quietest possible manner. AN ATTACK. Towards evening, a8 previously stated in the Herat, General Kilpatrick made an attack on the left of the rebel position, the same being protected by commanding fortifications. This attack was well met by the rebels, the latter sustaining a cavairy charge, and making one in return. This attack on the left was met by General binson's forces, consisting of ome brigade fod two or three pieces of artillery. The artillery was kes in position near the Hagerstown road. Two-thirds of obirson’s cavalrymen were dismounted and placed be- ind the earthworks, to make the Unionists believe that infantry still remained in full force there. At one time it seemed as though the rebels would have to fall back and'their retreat be dievovered. At this time there was sal aon deal of excitement along the rebel |ines. The led horses were removed towards and on a by- road leading to the Williameport pike, and what prisouers there were hear were taken away in the same direction jn some degree of baste. While thts was going on on the left Johnston's forces and a portion of Stonewall Jack- gous old command were in position to the right and left of the Williamsport pike. As the Union cavairy ceased to press Robinson the ied horses, &c., were brought back gain to the old position. MONDAY NIGHT, about eight o'clock, all the prisoners, under a strong guard, were put upon a mareh, amid tor. rents of rain, darkness, and over a road worse than any [ever met with In Virginia, to the Williamsport pike, and from there to Wiillamsport. On arriving at the latter place I found General Stuart ait- ting on a rail fence, He called it headquarters. Tho in- faptry was passing at the time, and, notwithstanding the rain, many of them were singing gayly, and 1a°king ab gurd aud witty remarks. Ip tbe distance, towards Ha- kerstown, burned a long line of well lit camp fires, these tWuminating the sky for miles around; yet little did the Unionists know that these camp fires, while they he\ped ve them also helped to light the very path of the retreating rebel army. As 1 was for the second time cou veyed into the presence of General Stuart, I remarked:-— neral, you ordered that I should be treated with the most distliguished consideration; and is this treating mo with such consideration, marching me through mud and rain over aroud almost impassable at this time for man or beast?” “Woell,’’ replied the General, “1 cannot say that it is, but what 1 meant by treatiog you with the most distinguished consideration was, that 1 am going to end you to Richmond. You ought to think it a great honor to get there, seeing that #0 many of your countrymen have been trying so long and so bard to reach Richmond, and have newer as yet got there only as you are going—ns prisoners.” G come further remarks in this strain 1 commenced to com- jain to language more forcible than elegant. For this jeveral mildly rebuked me, saying that | should not ‘All great generals swear, don’t they?” asked |. * replied General S., “do not swear, and yet I think f arn a8 great a military man as there is in the conutry.”? {hereupon his A. A. G. remarked: —"The General doos not drink, smoke, chew tor swear, and besides thie be is a momber of the church.” After some further con versation the General ordered that comfortable quarters be provided for me. His wishes were promptly complied with, and I was escorted to © house unter strong guard. Here I remaived until daylight next morning A VISIT AND A LONG CONV EWAATION. During the night I was visited by an ald-de-camp to Jeneral S. Wi ‘@ lovg conversation why the rebel army fell back from the neyhborhuod of Gettysburg, aod many other things, and the whole of bis conversation may be briefly set forth as follows —We crossed into Maryland, not with the intention of going to Washington or to Harrisburg, amd we were wohverfully surprised to find the easy manner in which the Yankees were deceived, and our plans thereby facilitated. THE FIGHT AT GRTTYSHURG was an unexpected event. That is, we had not foreseen ‘that a fight would take place there. We knew that there must be @ fight as Foon as the two forces came in edntact, wnd we had provided for such a battle. This they did at vettysburg, and hence the fight. That was indeed * bard t battle, Our men fought with desperate resolution, The Yankees commenced to move from Get- iysbarg several hours before we did, and it was to find out (hia movement Losec go somos than an: thing o Avtor three days’ we unexpectedly accum! ‘tod a large number of killed and wounded. These we tut to attend to, We also had to look out for our ammu- oven, Being many miles away from our base of sup: | vee we concluded to fall back, This became also nocer ery (hat we might protect our train of wounded; again ir train of captured property. It is true we could have oe trains to rear; we could not weaken the main army as to sond a strong cvowgh guard to protest them on their route to Lhe Fiver, an’ if necessary, defend them there, Another thing W ml the woud be apfordebie, and what would be the state of the Coveral Lee sa very prudent man, It would | folly for him to have continued his march * country, leaving a river at simes im- between him and Lis base of supplies, with the Kikelibood of an indefinite uumber of bates,’ What do y k would bave been the consequences had General Lee penetrated as far as ever be could, fought battle after battle, and thea found himself hundreds of miles eway nod without ammunition? if we conid have got ammunition regularly Wo would have went wherever we wanted to. Even as it ‘was jould have done this, but It was not deemed prudent ¢ }). There is another thing you must take juto « “" fon. AB we advaxced, #0 it became necessary to keer a fof gpmmunication, aa rogarda supplies, open to tne Protect thie long road, it would have taken a to y Leavy force; for was it not possible for the Yanker \ ‘yo make one. and attack us bere and thore geThags ira Important movement detain oF cut Of aome a Crt ee, OF, Lk Gnlmal bite us bere aud juere, i and perhaps in some leky moment gobble faye | ference, can bat express my profound regret . tail. * * General Lee hs accompli his co Of Lhe tal soo for yourself that our men are iu the best of spirits. It i true, we have lost heavily, but in our res and the effect upon our army we have gamed far more than wo lost, Tadmit that we had to abandon a few guns and some cons, but did we not capture over two hundred wagons‘ and | cannot say how many mules, near Rockville, several pwces of artillery; and baye notour men been better fed than if we hi kept them in camp near Fredericksburg, and in hundreds of ways have not we gained by going into Maryland and Pennsylvania? ANOTHER RAID IN CONTEMPLATION. Next year, when we want some more supplies, it is Wi, probable that we will repeat the experiment; but we will do it in another way. WASHINGTON, D. C. We had great fun in gomg to within four miles of Wash ington We went so near [ really thought the General (General Stuart) was going in. We bad with us at the time three brigades of cavalry and a battery of artillery. We went close enough to sce Georgetown Heights, On our way we dashed through the towns in the liveliest manper. ps GENERAL MPADE, It is a good thing General Mesde did not attack us while we could not get across the river, Our men were anxious for a tight; they would have fought like so many devils, I bave not the space afforded me to enter more into det regarding this conversation, which, if given in full, wou! take about two pages of the Hxkaup. GENERAL STUARIS VIEWS. While referring to conversations, | will mention here what I overlooked stating in the foregoing part of my letter. ‘al Stuart and I were criticising and review- ing some “Yankee” movements in the distance, when General Stuart said:—You see, these Yankees, instead of attacking us, are giving Goneral Loe every opportunity to retreat. I really believe they are afraid to attack us, or else they are moving in somo other direction, which of course we will know all about in a day or two.?? ‘A 800UT. Gen. Stuart bad with him a scout, a Mississippian, who said he could assume any disguise; and, judging from his general and peculiar ppearance, I gave him credit for Speaking the truth, The stories he told about his exploits were of the most amusing character. Some of them I knew to be true from past occurrences that came umder my notice. LHR’S VAREWELL TO “MY MARYLAND.” All of Monday night and until daylight on Tuesday morning the rebel column slowly kept on its course down the Williamsport pike and over the river, By six o'clock ‘the rebel rear guard came up to within two miles of Wil liamsport, gathering up stragglers and drawing in ards ‘and pickets. About this time the jast of the rebel artillery—two —_pieces—passe:! the point’ referred to above. I got away from the rebel guard about daylight, and immediately made for Hagerstown I took a@ circuitous route, but still had to poss by the line of the rebel fortifications. Those | saw were slight and gotten up for elect. I paused a moment to took at them. They extended for nearly three miles from beyond the Hagerstown road over to and beyond the Wil- liamsport pike, In leaving these fortifications the rebels placed rails in such a position as to make them appear to an aprroaching party in the distance the heads of many men in live aling the works. On reaching Hagerstown I saw General Kilpatrick, and told bim of the rebels fre. treat, and he said he would be after them at once.

STEPHENS ON A MISSION TO WASHINGTON—TR 18 NOT ALLOWED T0 PROCEED PORTHER THAN NEWPORT’S gNEWS—HIS MISSION REJECTED—THE FEDERAL AUTHORITIES CONSIDER “THE AUTHOR- IZED CHANNELS’? SUFFICIENT. JEFY, DAVIS TO 4. H. STEPHENS. Ricumonn, July 2, 1863. Hon. A. H. Srernens, Richmond, Va..— ‘Sir: —Having accepted your patriotic offer to proceed as a military commissioner, under flag of truce, to Washing- , ton, you will receive herewith your letter of authority to the Commander-in-Chicf of the army and navy of the United States. This letter is signed by mo, as Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate land and naval forces, You will perceive trom the terms of the letter that it is 80 worded as to avoid any political difficulties in its re- ception. Intended exclusively as one of those communi- cations between belligerents which public law recognizes 4s necessary and proper between hostile forces, care hus been taken to give no pretext for refusing toreceive it on the ground that it would involve a tacit recognition of the independence of the confederacy, Your mission is simply one of humanity, and has no political aspect. If objection Is made to receiving your letter, on the ground that it is not addressed to Abraham Lincoln, as President, instead of commander in-chief, &c., then you will present the duplicate letter, which is addressed to him as President aud sigood by me as President. To this latter objection may be made, on the ground that | am not recognized to be President of the coniederacy. In this event you will decline any further attempt to confer on the subject of your mission, as such conference is ad- missibie only on the footing of perfect equality. My recent interviews with you have put you so fully in jon of my views that it is scarcely necessary give you any detailed instructions, even were I at this moment well enough vo attempt it, My whole purpose is, in one word, to place this war on the footing of such as are waged by civiltzed people in modern times, and to divest it of the savage character which bas been impressed upon it by our enemies, in spite of all our efforts and protests. War is {ull enough of unavoidable horrors, under all its aspects, to justi(y, and even to demand, of any Christian rulers who be unhappily engaged in carrying it on, to seek to restrict its calamities, and to divest it of all unnecessary seve rities. You will endeavor to establish the cartel for the ex. change of prisoners on such @ basis a8 to avoid the con- stant difficulties aud complaints which arise, and to pro- vent for the future what we deem the unfair conduct of our enemies in evading the delivery of the prisoners who fall into their bands; in retarding it by sending them on circuitous routes, and y detaining them, sometimes for months, in camps and in prisons, and in persisting in taking captives non combatants. You attention is also called to the unheard-of conduct of federal officers in driving from their homes entire com- munities of women and children, as well as of men, whom they find in districts occupied by their troops, for becanse these unforcunates are bo other reagon than faithtul to the allegiance due to their States and refuse to take an oath of fidelity to their enemies, The putting to death of unarmed prisioners has been a ground of just complaint in more than one instance, and the recent executions of officers of our army in Kentucky for the sole cause that they were engaged in recruiting service ina State which is claimed as still one of the United States, but is also claimed by us as one of the Contederate States, be repressed by retaliation if not. unconditionally abandoned , because it would justify the like execution in every other State of the confede- racy, and the practice is barbarous, useleesly cruel, and can only lead to the slaughter of prisoners on both sides— a result too horrible to contemplate without making every etlort to avoid it, On these and all kindred subjects you will consider your authority full and ample to make such arrangements ‘a8 will temper the present cruel character of the contest, and full confidence is placed in your judgment, patriotism nd discretion, that while carrying out the objects of your mission, Ly phe take care Loe be equal ee the contederac; ways preserved.

Ricumonp, July 8, 1863, His Excellency Jerrerson Davis:— ‘Sin—Under the authority and instructions of your let- ter to meon the 2d instant 1 proceeded on the mission ‘therein assigned, without delay.

Judge Betts. The United States vs. the Steamer Peterhoff, her Tackle, déc., and Cargo.—This cause, which has occupied the Court for several days, and has been interrupted by the recent disturbances, is Mill pending. Mr. A. F. Smith presented and argued tho following, among other points, at considerable length:— First—Trado with Mexico by neutrals is legal, whether it be in articies contraband of war or not, The mere fact that contraband imported into Mexico might be again sold, and 80 come to the use of the belligerent, could have no effect upon the question. The trade must be direct with the belligerent. Second—Trade with the belligerent by the noutral is lawful, ‘age > where prevented or forbidden by the dio . Tho United States insisted upon the applica. tion of this rule in the war between Spain and South Amorios in 1816 and 1523, Third—The mouth of the Rio Grande was not blockaded; and though it might appear—as it does not—that the cargo of the Peterhoff might find its way into Texae, belligerent right would be violated thereby, Fourth—Not a doubt exist it the destination of the Peterhoft was Matamoros in Mexico. It is not pretended that she intended torun any blockade. Her bills of lading show her cargo consigned to well known firms in Mata moras. Her insurance was on & voyage to that port. Fisth—The documents accompanying the cargo are all preserved, are perfectly regular, and, with the letters found, prove the destination and show the larity and honesty of the voyage; and the testimony ‘of the witnesses proves conclusively ali that the claimants assert on this subject.

Pripay, July 17—6 P. M. The suppression of the recent disturbances has its effect upon the money market, by strengthen- ing confidence among lenders and increasing the supply of money seeking employment. To-day the rate for call loans is 6 a6 percent, and high grade commercial paper sells at5. Conversions will doubtless begin ere long to again feel the effect of the plethora of money. Gold hangs about 125 a 126, with no demand ex- cept from the shorts. Unhappily for the currency, every one is short of gold, and the maturing of three days contracts creates a market for the arti- cle, which for the time has the seme effect asa consumptive demand. Bilis are rather scarcer than they were, and are quoted 139 for first clase bankers’, The stock market was very strong before the board this morning; but when the brokera met there were a good many sales to realize profits, and some hammering, and prices fell off. Pa- cific Mail was done as low as 130, against 141 last evening: but, at the close of the board 140 was bid. Hudson River fell off 2 por cent. As time wears on, and there is no sign of any breakdown in this stock, the impression begins to be formed that there will be no breakdown, and that the operators who insist on selling it short day after day, on short options, at a difference of 5 a 15 per cent from the cash price, may find their last sales as expensive as their first. Comparing the price Of the stock to-day with the price a year ayo, it certainly seems very high. Dut, on the other hand, the position of the property has rastly changed of late, and, after all, people may, sooner or later, consider 175 not so very extravagant a price to pay for a stock which has earned 25 per cent net in eight months, and whose business is of that nature that neither peace, sor short crops, nor any ordinary casualty, can materially impair it. Erie sold at 99 before the board, fell to 97, then ral- lied to 98. Pittsburg declined 24% per cent on sales torealize profits, The Western shares wore all het- ter, without much activity. Central de line! one per cent on public disappointment at the sra!ineus of the dividend. It is understood that the majority of the directors were in favor of declaring five per cent; but Mr. Corning would not agree. The wisdom of this policy is questioned in the street, ‘as the accumolation of too large a eurplus in the hands of railroad companies usually leads sooner or later to defaleations. At the close of the fret board the market became stronger, and wow very firm at the one P.M. call, especially for Erie, whieh rose to 9#%{ again. Inthe afternoon there was some frreirulatity th the movement. Pitts. burg, Harlem, Toledo, &c., were 4al per cent beter. while Ceatgal aad Brie were lower, There
