S Rev. riuTuHisow Dear Sir: Hoping; that you will pardon mo for past neglect, I soat mysoll to writo you a lettor, and tboroby redeem my ptoiniso. My long silenoe is not attributable to negloot aione, but in a great measuro, to a want of opportunity to write. For noveral woeks I have boon thinking ol writing you tho dotaiU of our Western Vir ginia campaign expenenco, but circumstan cea ovor which I had no control, pro vonted me doing so, and now I shall only go back to Beverly, and bring' up the incidents and accidents which transpired on our jonrnoy to this place. Wo Io ft llovorly on Tuesday norningrtho zird.una in tho ovomng wo pitched our tonts two miles northwest of Laurel Hill, after having marched nineteen miles. On Wednesday morning we rosuinod our march, and ot noon wo passed through Phillippi, and ovor tho first battlo ground or Westorn Virginia. A more dosolato and deserted lookine town I never saw. Aliho there are nuite a number of line looking dwolling houses in the place, nearly all of them nave been left tonantloss: and now there are but very few families remaining in tne town, At i o'clock: r. M. on vvednes day, we encamped (our miles south of Web ster, and rested our weary limbs until tho following morning, whon wo marched on to Webster, whero wo took; tne cars lor Oak land, Md. Whilo tho cars woro ptssin, slowly ovor the bridco at Grafton. Ono of our company, Alonzo Montanya, attempted to jump from tho cars to tho foot crossing. In doing so he struck against tho bars ol the bridgo nd was thrown a distance of lorty feet into the river below. Whore ho loll, the bottom was covered with small stone. and four or five inchos of water. It was truly a "Sam Patch" leap, and how tlio poor fel low escaped from sudden doath, seems to me very remarkable. Strango as it may appear, no limbs wcie broken, but he most certainly received internal injuries, which may event ually prove fatal. In a very fow momonts after he fell, Lieutenants Green and Lippitt were at his sido. bathing bis temples and wetting his lips with water. After working with bim a short time. Lieut. Lippitt took him on his back, and carried him through the river, and up a steep bank on to the bridge; from there he was conveyed to the hospital, whoro he still remains. I learned yesterday morning that he was improving, and that there w-s a fair propped ol his re Btoration to good hoalth. In my opinion, ho will never again be able to undergo the hard-ships,and endure the privations of a soldier's li'e. Late in the evening of thursday wo crossed the Virginia and Maryland lino, and in a short lime afterward wo reached the boauti-(ul town of Oakland. Hero we wore formod into lino and marched to tho camping ground a few hundrod yards south of town. 0-ing to tho lateness of tho hour wa did not get our suppers ready, and tents pitched, until inids night, but as wo aro becoming used to such things, it is h.udly worth whilo to mention this as a hardship- Whon morning camo wo found ourselves in a beautiful and romantic eountry. In fact wo woro all del ghted with tho placo and its surroundings, and could we have bad our own wishts gratified, wa would have remained at least a week, 'i'hu situation of Oakland is high and dry, being 2,700 loot above the level of tho sea. Tlio principle part of tho town has boon built u, within tho past throo years, and at this tinu contains about six hundred inh.ib.iants. Tho private rosidences (tho imjorityof them at least) havo beon erected hy eastern and southern capitalists for summer resorts. Very fow of thorn aro occupied at lliis time by thoir owners, and it is hardly probable thoy will bo for somoiime to come. Tho citizens generally aro vory intelligent, and with fow exceptions ore united for the Union. While at Oakland, we had opportunities to converse frequently with tho boys of tho Ohio Kith. Thoy complain a great deal of bt 1 troatnnnt and hard usago, and very faw with whom I talked, expressed a willingnesi to onlist (or the war. They expected to return to thoir homes this week. On Saturday morning early wo receivod marching orders;at 8 o'clock wo woro in lino, and ready to start, when a dispatch was received from Col. McOook, at this placo, stating that our convoyanco could not roach Oakland, until a lato hour. Our tents, oata bios, and cooking utensils had all boon loaded in tho wagsns and drivon to the depot, so we could do nothing but romain whore we were and await furthor ordors. A fow minutes pa3t 8 o'clock rain commenced falling, and continued to pour in perfect torrents for nearly two hours. Wo bad no sheltor whatever during tho wholo time; and before our ofBcors could procure a shelter for us in town we were all wet to tho skin. At 10 o'clock Col. Cantwell and Major Godman came galloping back, and told us to march to town and take possession of tho churches, and va-wnt houses, and rest ourselvoj al best we could until morning. Being with the guard I had to remain io tho rear but as saon as we reached the first street we loft the rogiment and started on "double quick" for a large two story house situated on a high hill to our loft; We soon got to it and took possession, jus tas tho rain coasod to fall. The bovs went to work, cooked their suppeis, ana all wero as iiveiy as ctokb, ""' utamlini? the dronchine thov had recaived. remained on guard duty until 12 o'olock, and theo with a hart of the guard I went to a hotel, sproad my blankets on a bench, and slept soundly till daylight. In the morning I took a hoarty breakfast with the landlord, and felt that I "was myself again." At 8 o'clock we got aboard the oars, and aftor riding thirty miles through beautilul and romantio country, wa arrived hera before noon, and immediately marched to our press ent camping ground, situated io a beautilul valley a quarter of mil south of tha railroad and village. Wa are six miles east of Piedmont, Va , and twenty- three west of Cumberland, Md. The north fork of the Potomac river glides almost noiselessly along just a few yards to the north ol the village, while the railroad runs dirsotly through it. On last Sunday two weeks ago, a skirmish occurred in this place, between some rebel oavalry and two Pennsylvania companies. The rebels bad six six men several wounded. One of tho killod was a Lieutenant. The Pdnnsylvanians met with no lose whatever aod had none wounded. The enemy retreated toward Uomney. Since that time they have made tbemsolvos scarce in this iciuity. Last eveniug it was rumored in camp that a rebel forco 1,000 atioug, was advancing upon us hum How noy, and that there was a prospect of an on gagomont. We all slept on our arms; and rosted till morning wilheut being disturbed by friend or foe, I havo just talkod with gentleman who came from Patterson's creek (nino miles tills side of Rorinoy) last night, llo was drivon from bis borne and family two months ago, and baa boon in Wheeling since. Yosterday ho returned to soe his fnmily.anu had been witn tnem but a snort tune, when ibe "Wool bounds" came to arrest him, Ho made his escapo undor the cover of night and reached hero early this morning, naving nearly ruinou a Hno suit of clothes, io climbing fenees and ruoi ning through the woods. He told me that two of his cousins wore foremost in the movemont to arrest him. lie looks (or his family bore this eveniug. He is a fine intelligent looking man, and influential citizen, previous to tho breaking out ol the war, but now he is about ruined as far as pecuniary mattors are concornod. He thinks himsolf woll off to escapo with his lifo. I think that we will movo from here soon, but cannot toll whero wo will go; porhaps to Harper's Forry. Col. Andrews roturnod to his rcgimont last evening, Ho brought quite a number of letters (or tho boys, and I can assure you that tho contonts were eagerly dovoured. We were glad to loam that Capt. Banning had arrived safe homo, and that tho Manassas defeat had once more aroused the patriot ism o( tho people of old Knox. Col. An drews gives glowing icounts of the many manifestations of loyalty which he saw ex hibited among the people of Mt. Vernon and vicinity during his brief visit homo. And I can assure you that the disastrous news from Lastorn Virginia, has only had a tondsncv to inspire us with now courage. And now we foul more than ever determined to fight to tho death for the maintenance of our once glorious Union. Tho stars and stripes must and shall wave triumphantly over our foes, and I know that tlioro are enough bravo and truo hearts throughout tho cnt'ro North to riso in their united strength, and crush out this great rebellion. I feel like saying to the men of the Northwest come to tha rescue; leave your homes and your -firesides; your desks, your workshops and your plows, and it noods bo, your pulpits, ana take up arms in dofence ot your rights. The 1th and 9th llegmnnts and Howe's Battery aro stationed here. As our company goes out on picket to night, I must close. Pleaso writo soon, and obligo yours, very truly, John W. A. Gillespie. For tho Ropublican. Mt. Lidehtv, Ohio, July 31st 1861. Mb Kditor : According to tho dictation of my own feelings I think it doing no more tnan justico to myself, to drop a Tew remarks in answer to a personal rrticle in tho Ban ner of this woek.it beug Ho. 2 from the Union' Democrat shot gun tho shot is cer tainly from tho wrong source, if from the Union ranks. 1j careful C.iptam you micht hit some of your friends, for wo claim to be in fin or of tlio Union, tlio Constitution and enforcement of the Laws. But tho probability is, that you aro a compromise union democrat, such as aro willing to compromiso with traitors aftor their rebelling against tho goneral (fjvornmcnt, Bloating our arms and othor public proportv inhumanly butchorin; pnrato citi.jns,bcsides taking up arms against t tho Govornmont, this would be forming a Union of Southern principals. If this is the kind of Union you aro in for, then we slightly differ, as the article written in the Kepubli can was in support of union democrats, lean not soo why a union democrat would take it ho much at hoart, and with a vigorous effort retaliates in his own way, of courso it must havo touched him in a tender spot. In bis ocond shot however ho virtually acknow ledge hiiindf a disunionist, ho says we would wish to convert those that would have moro infi jonce than Unionist; wo conloss our inlluonco small conpared with union demo crat, and should wsh it s', ill loss when be converted us. Ho would have Unionist make another picturo for lo'.torv. Probably ho wishes to indulge again, and got anothor frame to match tho one he "got the othor timo. If ho foels dissatisfied, howover, and will rail on tho subscriber he shall be accommodated with frames to his satisfaction. But ho is determined to be understood that it is me he is alludiug to. He relors to a personal dif ficulty with some other Union Republican, that I suppose was intended to frighten, but bo missed his mark again. Again ho comes out vory sublime and sympathetic in regard to tbo post ollno. 1 will not dispute but what 1 received it through sympathy; because H my hoalth had pormittod of other business I should not havo mado application for the ollice. But tbo Captain will not understand mo to say that it was through any sympathy on his part at all. I did hot ask his com miseration, as he torms it, nor don't wisn it; since I knew all the time, as I do now, that ho did everything ho could against me, and through bis mlluence kept me from tne ottico for somo time. I have made no allusion either to the formor pottmaster; nor do I wish .to say anything against their competency'. Bat I do say that if tho former postmaster resigned bafo re Lincoln took his seat, it was altogether against the instructions of Union Democrat. But enough of this. He finally concludes to stop parading. Unionist will not be too personal. It appears, however, that he was the first to be personal. But before he stops he has a very fiighty spoil. We presume it was on Sunday the 21st the day of tho great battle at Manassass. No doubt he had a dream and flew away on the wings of his imagination, caught the tail ol the comet, tore off the horns of tho moon, stood side by side with Uerschol, (I suppose Uerschel V. Johnson) blew up a balloon, and thon be comes down kersplack on the top of Laurel Hill, witnesses wiih satisfaction thi retreat of tha Federal troops.

It m;oafully youis, W. K. WaLbi-'UFf, Terrible Hnnd to Uund Fighting. Tho New York Tribune publishes a thrilling account of tho adventures of a Zousvo from that city, in the brittle nt Manassas. In the heat of the fight, tho Zou-nvo saw an immense body of Mississippi, ans, nccomnnnicd by somo (believed to be) BitltimoroDDS, rush furiously over the Uonrudornte ramparts. They nt onoe saw the conspicuous uniform of tho Zouaves, and made at them. The Mississippinns, after approaching nenr enough, sent a ter rible volley from their side into the Zou ave ranks. This done, they t'irew their irttns nsido and charged onward until each contend i g enemy met face to face and hnnd to hand in terriblo combat. The Missisainpians, having discarded their ri fles after tho first fire, fell back upon their bowio knives. These were of huge :dt monsions, eighteen or twenty inches long, honvy in pr portion and shnrp, or two edged at tho point. Attaohed to tho handle was a losso, somo eight or ten feet in length, with ono end securely wound mound the wrist. Aly informant says when these tcrrifio warriors approachud to within reach of their lasso, not waiting to come in bayonet range, they threw for ward their bowie knives at the Zouaves after the fashion of experienced harpooners striking nt a whale. Frequently they plunged in, and penetrate 1 thronzh a sol dier's body, and were jerked out, ready to strike asrVn while the first victim sunk into death. On several occasions tho ter riblo bowie knife was transfixed in a Zou ave, and the Zouave's bayonet in a Mis-sissippinn, both impaled lalling togothcr. So skilfully was this deadly instrument handled bv (he Mississinpian, that he could project it to tho full lasso length, kill his victim, with a sudden impulse, and catch the bundle unerringly. If by any mischance the bowie knife mused its aim, broke the cord fastening it tc the arm, or full to the earth, revolvers were next resorted to and used with similar dexterity. The bowie knife, cutting, slashing, carving and shooting almost in the same mo ment, was awful beyond description. Blood gushed from hundreds of wounds until, amid death, pitiful groans and appalling sights, it stenciled the very earth. The Zouave ohampion says himself and comrade did ha d fighting, stood up manfully to the murderous conflict, but never before knew what undaunted bravery and courage meant. Anecdote of Floyd. An anecdote is told us of Floyd the great Virginia thief, which wo have not seen in print. A fo years since, a gentleman residing in Richmond, Va., gave a large dinnerparty to sonu distinguished men, among whom wis Flojyl, then a rising man, but whoso personal appearance indicated neither mental nor physical superiority, ho be ing a pursy, dtirk complex-iined man, with crispy, wiry hair. Among tho distinguished guests wero two Indian chiefs, returning from n visit to their 'Grant Father,' the President mag-niiio.nt specimens of their race. Floyd, thinking to compliment them, anl make them at their easo, told them, in a conde scending manner, that he could boast of Indian blood in his veins, being a descend ant of Pocahontas. One of the chiefs, drawing himself up majestically and dis dainfully, and with n look of contempt upon his noble countenance, said in broken English, "Ugh! no! no! kiour! nigur! The confusion and dismay of Floyd was complete, and it required all the boasted politeness of iuchmond society to keep the other guests from cxplouidg with laughter. Spriogfield (Mass.) Republican. "Tub Formsr Days." Tho degener acy of our timo, especially in the matter ol honesty nnd integrity in public, affairs, is most sadly marked. A gentleman in middle lifo, furnishes to one of the papers the following incident of his boyish days: Having occasion to write, ho thought to supply himself with a sheet of letter paper from the desk xf his grandfather, who at the time had an office under tho Federal Government. 'What are you doing there?' said tho old gentlemen. . 'Getting a sheet of paper sir.' 'Put it back, sir; put it back; that paper belongs to the Government ot tho United States.' How exceedingly old fashioned that sounds in these days of wholesalo peculation, fraud, robbery and plunder! Wll may we sigh for the return of "Auld Lang Syne." The Louisville Democrat soys: Tho general understanding amongst secessionists is, that the South are to fight until extermination, rather than fail in a division of the Union. That will do to talk over a brandy smash. Rather than Bubmit to dishonor, a people mny fight to extermination, perhaps; but they don't do it in this wcrld of ours. We notice that the secessionists run and surrender just like other people. They take an oath to fight no more, and go home, like sensible men who, when they can't do any better, do the best they can. . The people at home South will aot the same way. They are no more desperate than those who have gone to the wars. Some politicians would like to see the people, hgnt to extermination, rather than let them fall; but the people will not do; it not they have more sense. A brave man is not necestari y a fool. A private letter writ'en to as from Paris, by a gentlemen of distinction says: - Yancey and Host have been hero, and had a private interview with tbo Minister of Foreign Affairs, who told them, in effect, that he received them for tbe purpose of informing them that ho would not recognise or aid them in any manner.

McClellan through tho Campaign in Western Virginia, have reached Washington: They number about ono hundred men, armed with Sharps breech-loading rifles nnd saber bayonets; they were enrolled in (Jhicngo Tor the war. They are named after Solomon Sturges, a w althy banker in Chicago, alio donated tho whole of the outfit to tho company, nt a cost of $20,-000. Their tents nre of the Crimean pattern, and nre the best in uso. The officers' tent is use! by Gen. Mo-Clellan, nnd around him at all times are 'he Chicago boys. They all love the General, and there ia no', a man who would not die at any time to save him from harm. The uniforms are the neatest we have seen. Ono is duk grey, and one corduroy for fatigue. They are ao-compnnicd by the champion drummer who accompanied Ellsworth's Zouaves on iheir tour over the United States. Gen. McClellan has assumed the full charge of the army on both sides of the Potomac, nnd has entcrod upon the vigorous prosecution of his duties. Both of ficers and soldiers are to be confined to their encampments unless on special leave of absence. No sale of liquor to soldiors will be allowed, and drunken soldiers will be dismissed from the service, The influence of the arrival of General McClellan to tako command of tbe forces on the Potomno is already felt: He has inspired new vigor and zeal among the soldiers, and lie is everywhere received by them witn .shouts ot appirusc. His pres. wee lias, it would appear, eradicated from their memory tho disgraceful occurrence of last Sunday. He has inspired them wllli a feeling of security and cor.fidcnce, and they Bwear to follow him to the end of the earth. Traitors at the Capital. Colonel Forney writes from Washing ton to the Philadelphia Press as follows: Mr. Breckinridge threatens the I resi dent from his place in the Senate, surpasses Rhett and Yancey in the violence of his denunciations of the preparations to preserve the Government, and openly visits ti e Se -ession prisoners in our jails, holding familiar conversations with them. Mr. Burnett and Mr. Vallandigham obe diently follov his example in the House. I know that in many a private residence in this city theso demonstrations are applauded, and tho defeats of our army cel ebrated with ecstatic saturnalias. Tl ese parlies are not nlono li os ti Io to nil free Government, not merely the infuiiatod foes of the United States, but they aro in- llntod with the belief that the war commenced upon tho authority of tho Government will close in their complete triumph. When tho Federal power is fully restored at ihis point, nnd when the majesty ot tlio law can no longer be insult ed with impunity, it will ho tho first duty of the President and of General McClellan to root out all covert and overt 'reason from every community over which the flag of our country is pirmitted to float, beginning with Washington. Tno Kobols' Panic. There is no doubt that tho rebels were actually rotroating towards Manassas Junc tion at the very timo when our soldiors were runnin towards Centrevillo. Tbereinforco ments from Manassas wero probably inten dod to covet tho retreat of tho troops that hid been engaged in tho action. Long before tho panic on our side occured, tho wagon train of tbo rebels was wcuding its way from tho field, plainly indicating their intention to rotire. This train was followed by largo bodies of infantry, and it is probablo that if our men had stood thoir ground even (iftoen minutos longer, they would have had undisputed possession of tho field. It is statod by a Virginian, who came from Manassas into our lines to-day, that tho or-dor (or the retreat of tbo rebels had beon already issuod. It is ovident that tho onoray did not immediately understand the movement on our sido. Thoy thought themselves whipped, and tho sudden retirement of their victors undoubtedly astonished thorn. This is apparont from tho fact that no pursuit wis attempted for any considerable distance Cleveland Loador Tub National Anttikm Fifteen out of the 1,200 compositions for tho $500 pr'ze for a National anthem havo been retained from which to make a final selection. It has been proposed that the music and words of those fifteen be submitted to public criticism for three nights at the Academy of Music in New York, and three at the Academy in Brooklyn tbe sum real ized to be applied to the aid of families of volunteors. Too Good to be Lost. A country iron wai in the tow n of Lumpkin last week and was asked how he liked the war news. He replied, f'Very well." "Are you ready to go," he was asked. "Yes" ho replied. "Are yJ j not afraid?" "No. If I should see a Yankee with his gun leveled and looking right at me, I will draw out my pocket-book and ask him what he will take for his gun, and right away the fight will end." The traitor Twiggs is constantly giving evidence of a guilty conscience. When he was expelled from the army he wrote a bitter letter to Mr. Buchannn, and now publishes a card in the New Orleans p - pers in which he vainly tries to explain away tbe charges brought against him in tho n port of Secretary Cameion. Mr. Edwin James, the coiobraled crim inal lawyer of London, has compromised with his creditors, married a Jich widow named Hilliar I, and loft nmrlnnd forever to seek a new fortune in the United States.
