6 tThe "Wat "forthe Uuiou. Clarksduhg. Va.. Sent 12. . A baltle took place about three o'clock en Tuesday afternoon, nearSornrr.crville. Gen. Rosecrans, after making a recon naissance, found Floyd's army 5,000 trong, ty'th sixteen Held pieces, cntrench it3 -in a powerful position on the top of a mountain, at Carnix Ferry, on the west " isirle cf Babley river. The rear and ex treme of both Hanks were inaccessible, scd the front was marked by heavy "forests and close jungle. Col. Lytle's Tenth Ohio Regiment of Benharn s brig ade wa in the advance and drove a strong detachment of the enemy out of the ramp this tide of the position, the she of which was unknown. Shortly afterward fcis scouts, consisting of four companies, "suddenly discovered themselves in the lace oi a parapet Liute ry uuu a imc . of .palisades for rifleman, when the bntile ". opened fiercely. The remainder of the Tenth and Thirteenth Ohio were brought 'into action successfully ly Gen. Henham, : and the . Twelfth Ohio afterward lyCapt. HartiufT, whose object was an armed re- connoisjance. The enemy played upon our forces ler . rificaliy with musketry, rifle?, canister ' end thell, causing some casualiiies. .. Col. Lyile led several companies of his . Irish to charge the battery, when he was brought down by a ehct in the leg. Col.. Smith's Thirteenth Ohio engaged the enemy on the left and Col. Lowe's Twelfth Ohio directly in front. Col. Lpwe fell dead at the head of his regi ment early in the hottest fire, by a ball ' in the forehead. McMullen's howitzer battery and Sni . der's two field pieces, in the meantime, were got into the best position possible .under the circumstances, and soon silenc ,ed two of the rebel guns. The fire slack ened at. intervals but grew more furious nsnieht approached, when the German brigade was led gallantly into action by UoL iMcUODif, under me direction or Ad jutant Gen. Hartsuir, but, after a furious fight of three hours, night compelled the recall of the troops, aud the men lay on their arms within a short distance of the enemy, each ready to resume the contest nw'thp riPit mnrnimr. Flovd fled durtmr c j a the night and sunk the boats in the river and destroyed the temporary bridge which he had :nade when he first occupied the position. '- The ' turbulence of the river, and ex haustion of the troops made it impossible td follow him. He left his camp equip age, wagons, horses, a large quan'ity of ammunition and fifty head of cattle. Our loss is fifteen killed and about seventy xvounded, generally flesh wounds. The rebel loss is not ascertained as they car ried their dead and wounded with them, but it was certainly serious. Capt. Mc Groaty, of Cincinnati, Capt. McMullen and Lieut. Si'der, of Ohio, are among the wounded, but not dangerously. Twenty-five men of Col. Tyler's who were taken by Floyd at Cross Lanes, were recaptured. 11U)U C pci2JliU t"Icifaar.cl wiiil Ilia l. ui his ofiicers, was taken. Gen. Benham's brigade, which suffered most was com manded by him in person, and McCook led his brigade. Generals Rosecrans and Benham, Col's. McCook, Lytle and Lowe, Capts. Hartsuff, Snyder and JIc Mullen, Major Burke, of the Tenth Ohio, and other ofiicers, displayed conspicuous personal gallantry; the troops were ex clusively from Ohio, and showed great bravery. Louisville, Sept. 12. A special to the Journal, from Wash ington, says Gen. McCk-llao has carried Hall's Hill, losing 15 killed. Gen. Banks' command is within a sirrrt distance, and n general engagement is expected tomorrow. THE ADVERTISER. 11. V. FURNAS. EDITOR. THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 19, 1861. O U B FLA O.

Onr Reappearance. fv ; After a weeks suspension we again resume ihe publication--of our paper. Having been forced to suspend by a squad f armed men belonging to the camps at . that time in possession of the city, the suppression of our paper wa$ but one of the mauy acts of lawlessness eummitted by them, of which we shall have more to sav hereafter. Suffice to sav that for ii-week our city was a scene of.. lawless ness, never before witnessed in this sec lion. Stores were broken dpen, goods I ressed, private arms aud horses taken, , fud con federate scrip tendered for. the fame. Iti many cases even this was not done; the goods taken and no receipt whatever given" for them. Upcn the errival of Col. Smith, of the 10:h Illi nois, order was restored. Saturday vas a qinct day, all the stores being closed by ns request, Capt. Wells liaviuz been ap Missouri Affairs. Since cur last, sese:-h if; Atchison coun ty. Mo., in fact all northern Missouri has well nigh "numbered itself among the things that were." On Saturday last the forces under Col. Thompson, for some days past in camp on the bank of the river opposite this place, marched for the purpose of exterminating the rebels in that county, and then joining Col. Cranor's command. The rebels, becoming satis fied they were outnumbered, sent a special messenger to meet Col. Thompson and ask another ''compromise." A few were in favor of entering into a compro mise to the effect that the rebels would surrender their arms and ammunition and give in a list of their names. The great majority however were opposed even to this. The messenger was therefore re tained in camp and a well armed force immediately dispatched to route the ene my. They getting wind of their ap proach, "scattered" dispersed in every direction. This is the usual mode adopt ed by the rebels when likely to meet an equal number. During the several skirmishes over the river but two or three men have, thus far, Leen killed, that we have heard of. With the exception of a few small roving bands who stay about in the bushes there are now but few secessionists in arms north of St.. Joseph. They have all been driven below and will be pursued, and most likely captured, as we under stand there will be no means of crossing the river. The St. Joseph Journal, speak ing of affairs there aud below, says: It is the intention to follow them un-' til reached, and if they get to Price and Rains then the whole lorce in the State under Fremont will commence the for ward movement to the Gulf by way of Memphis, driving the rebels before them. Fremont has finessed admirably and has succeeded in getting the rebels all together, and will now iu forth all Lis energies and force, and march onward to Memphis and New Orleans. written law would be to lose the law it self, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us ; so sacrificing the end to the mean. "From these examples and principles you may see what I think on the question proposed. They do not go to the case of persons charged with petty duties, where consequences are trilling and time al lowed for t. legal course, nor to authorize them to take such cases out of the writ ten law. In these the example of over leaping the law is of greater evil, than a strict adherence to its imperfect provis ions. It is incumueni on musu uniy wwu The Brownville correspondent of the Nebraska City News, in speaking of one of .he meetings held in this city, recently says : "Following these S. G. Daily, Rcbt. W. Furnas, and R. F. Barret, addressed the meeting advocating the immediate organization of the militia and a thorough and complete preparation for any emer gency that may" arise. Mr Daily was decidedly in favor of rendering the as itance asked for by the union men cf Atchison county if necessary although a majority cf our citizens are strongly op- accept of great charges to rk themselves f posed to our interfering with affairs in on great occasions, when the sah-ty ol the nation or some of its very high inter ests are at stake." "Ro-nulus" says ; "ere one rumor is thoroughly masiicatci and digested, an other of a startling character, arrives; thus furnishing our male citizens with abundant matter fcr ciscussion." . Wonder if there is as much nourishment in that kind of "grub" as in the lacteal wealth drained from lacteal glands of the feminine cvnia IvjmsI Is it "spcon vic tuals," or is it used in chuncks ?" It will be seen it is only intended for, and used by "mae citizens," so the ladies bet ter be careful, and not "chaw" any of it. If the food resembles "the thin vapors of a dungeon," of which we read, reckon it will not hurt either sex. "Romulus," it will be recolJected, was an illegitimate fellow, and who being cnt cfT in the Tiber, fell in with a she wolf, from whom hO derived nourishment by sucking her like any other infantile ca nine, lie aho slew his brother Remus for speaking light of a little d itch Rom ulus had dug, and over which Remus leap- ed, without any particular effort, and cut up many other didos we will not men tion. One of his successors in name, the Brownville correspondent of the Nebras ka City News, is imitating the example of his "illustrious predecessor," as re spects the little one and the she wolf, by 'freezing' to that paper. We hope the teat is agreeable and the nourishment abundant, and that after he grows to be a bis: do?, he and hi? owner will have a happy time. It sounds so pretty, and really is so consistent to hear men prate about "invading Missouri." because, forsooth a few men here nnd there along the riv er go over to help the Union men in that State, but not a word against the action of the Southern Confederacy in appropri ating a million and a half of dollars and sending a hundred thousand men into her borders, to control the coming election, and force that State out of the Union con trary to the expressed will of her people! Oh, no ! There is nothing wrong in that. But uont you go from Nebraska over there to assist in repelling those rpal invaders ! You might arouse the ill will of the trai tors to your country. We understand that a knowing sympathi zer with the disunion movement said the other day "We dont intend to kill any body, nor destroy any property belonging to Union men, we only want to control the election this fall !" Exactly so! Only want to control the election." Well, sir. do you know what the issue in the com ing election in Missouri, is ? It is "only" that the state will either remain in the Union, or go out of it! That's all. And if Missouri goes out or rather, is forced out, away sops with her Kansas, and that portion of Nebraska south of the North Missouri line. The Higher Duty. Who has not heard it said a thousand times since the war commenced, "The Administration has oversteped the "Con ilithlional limits. "xou are not going according to law." .This all souods well, or would in ordinary times, and had we to deal with men who themselves paid any respect to the Constitution or laws. Talk about a strict adherence to Constitution and laws when you have to do with a set of traitors who have from the start, and in every step they have made, trampled both under foot! Is instituting a new, and independent government within the boundaries of the UnJ.ted States; rob ing the treasure by the millions; steal ing Government arms and snips; be traying commands; firing into, and de stroying our forts; organizing piracy on the high" seas, and " an hundred other such acts, keeping within ihe bounds of the Constitution and law? And must the tedious process of law be only relied upon to meet puch an emergency Inter arma silent teges. "In war the law slum bers." This very matter was up for consideration during the Barr conspiracy. It will be recollected that General Wil kinson at New Orleans, refused to obey the writ of habeas corpu?. . Mr. Jeffer son sustained him, and in September, 1810, in explanation cf the principle, he wrote to J. B. Colvin as follows : "The question you propose, whether circumstances do not sometimes occur which make it difficult in erne rs of high trust to assume authority beyond the law, is easy of solution in principle, but some times embarrassing in practice. A strict observance of the written hws is doutt less one of-the highest duties of a good j "The female portion of community, to their credit he it said, receive these re ports with the greatest sang froid, nnd reason dispassionately upon the probabil ity of their faUity.' Romtlus. Well posted m regard to the "female portion of community." In fact, "Rom lus" might safely be set down as a regu lar "old granny" himself. That sang froid is quite a compliment to the "female portion of community," surely; charac terizing them as cold Hooded. Lookout, young man ; your fortune is not yd made "Many a slip, 'iwixt cup and lip," you know. Missouri and are disposed to let the U nion men with U. S. troops work out their own salvation in that State. We venture the assertion that there is not an able-bodied man in Nemaha coun-ty-unlesshe be a seecessionist, or a sym pathizer therewith who would not "if necessary go to the relief of Union men in Missouri or elsewhere, if in their power to render aid. There are none we know of who propose to go into At chison county, until it docs become neces sary, and then not in any claimed capac ty that might in the leat involve the mil itary or. civil authorities of Nebraska. A great deal has baen said in regard to this "meddling with Missouri affairs cf late, by a few persons, both in Nebraska City and this place. We have found the croakers invariably' to be ither ignorant of what they were talking about, cow rds, or rebels. God save the patriot who thinks more of some li'.tle business he may be engag ed in than lie does of. his country; who would stand with folded arms, and because the Missouri river ran between, would see the liberties of his neighbors, his own blood relations, trampled under foot; his property destroyed, and he driven out cf the country, merely because he is a loy al citizen. These same men are continually cryiug "lets make peace compromise, nnd stop this war. It will break us all up." They would compromise with traitors; ack nowledge the independence of the South ern Confederacy; submit to a dissolution of the Union; in short do almost anything however detrimental to the country, or destructive of the principles of a free Government, only so their individual in terests were not directly interfered with, or they called upon to pay a mite of tax to support the Union. Observance and Enforcement of Laws. It appears that some time since Mar shall McDowell United States Marshall for Kansas, addressed a letter to the Uni ted States Attorney General stating that he did not deem it his duty to return fugi tives to Missouri until she become more loj-al and asking for advice on the subject. The following was the reply : .Jltlorneij Generals Office July 23 1SG1. J. L. McDowell U S Marshall Kansas.

The past week has heen decidedly "some military." in this county. Tne"Pi:ru Home Guards.'! Cnpt. Hick man, and the Nemaha City Home Guards Capt. FAinuROTiiEn, have been giving extraordinary attention to drill, and per fecting their organization. We had not tliH pleasure of witnessing their opera tions, but are told they are doing finely. The "Nemaha Couny Cavalry," dpt. Minnick, have for some time devoted much attention to drill, and have become quite perfect. They paraded in our city last I riday evening, The company is composed principally of farmers, and are all of the right kind for any emergency, in behalf of their country. The "Paddock Guards," Capt. Mat thews, and the Home Guards," Capt. Hewett, of this city, are both compa nies of which we may well be proud. We venture the assertion, that no sett of men anywhere, are more studious, or make more tapid advancement in becom ing proficient in drill. So far, but cne ccinpar.y, the "Home Guards," of this city, has been provided with arms by the Territory. The others have been using ordiuary shot guns and rifles 4,Has Gov.

We will say for the benefit of the JVcics and also its able Brownville corres pondent who ha3 discovered a mare's nest in the item of expense, that the peo ple of Brownville have paid all the ex penses connected with the organization of a Regiment in this part of the Territo ry, and that neither the Territory or "Romulus" will ever be called upon to aid in the matter. It is not our style Mr News to rely upon gov.erment or Territo rial aid in such mailers. The people in this county are not beggars, nor do they intend to shirk any of the duties devol ving upon them as American citizens, in sustaining the government; they will pay the direct tax when required of them without growling about it "like a bear with a sore head" as you have been do ing for seme time past.

Whereas, a joint Committee of both Houses of Congress has waited on the President of the United States, and re quested him to recommend a dav of Pub lie humiliation, prajvr and fasting, to be observed by the pt-opie of the united States with reliyious solemnities, and the offering of frrvent supplications to Al mighty God for the sa'ety and welfare .f the United States, His blessings on their arms, and a speedy res-toration of peace. And whertas, it is fit and becoming to all people at all times to aclitiowh dge and revere the Supreme Government of God, to bow iu humble sul mission to hi chastisements, to confess and dplor their sins and-transgressions in the lull conviction that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and to pray with all fervor and cantrition for the par don of their past olfences, and for a bles "sing upon their present and prospective action. And whereas. When our beloved coun try, once by the blessing of God, united, prosperous and happy, is now afflicted with faction and civil war, it is peculiar ly fit for us to recognize the hand ot God in this visitation, and in sorrowful remembrance of our own faults and crimes as a nation and as individuals, to humble ourselves before Him. and to urav for His mercy to pray that we may l e tjuxiu u.D.iiui. i e .l , . i - , ' We aro autborjrd to iir i;i rr.re tl e lame rf D IT spared further punishment, though justly , ki.lm. as a candidate fur tiiet-m.-eor c,ni'y emmi,-' deserved; tnat our arms may be Ursseu and made effectual for the re-e.-tulii-h- ment of law, order and pea(v throo -i vw 1., , i i our country, ana mat we i.u .-tn .ai.ir j c boon of civil and religious liberty, turn-; ed under his guidance and Meting b the labor and sufferings of our fn Ultra, may be restored in all its original ex cellence.

Daily, accusing him of defeating the the confirmation of Secretary Paddock, for the purpose of securiug the appoint ment of E. S. Dundy. The article is one of the JSTebraskians peculiar kind of "cock and bull stories, gotten up for a purpose. The facts are; that when the list of ap pointments for confirmation, for Nebras ka was made out by the Clerk of the U. S. Senate, the name of Secretary Pad dock was acci'dentally omitted. This ren dered a new appointment necessary, and th President .immediately re-appointed Mr. Paddock. Mr. Daily knew nothing of the matter until he saw the aunounc ment yf Mr. Paddock re-appointment. Mr Daily'gaVe the Department at Washington before Mr Paddock's ap pointment, to understand that with that appointment he was. perfectly saiisfh-d At an early day of the last session, Mr all 1 linnihty, ar.d with ail Trumbull, Chairman of the committee, The failure to secure arms of (having the matter in hand, called unon course has operated as ijuite a drawback, Mr Daily to know if he had, cr knew pointed Provost Martial, we may now laws of necessity, of self-preservation, predict & speedy return to the regular j of &a irsr our country when in danger, routine of buMr.ess.'uri l our city v. per its are of higher olliVation.

The recent excited state of affairs in this region, however, has. fully aroused the different companies, and the prospect now is that they will be fully nrmed before long. ' Assistant Adjt. H. II. Harding, was in our place on an of ficial visit on Friday and Saturday last, for the purpose of ascertaining our wants and htrensth. He informs us that the provabilities are that in three or four weeks the companies wiil all be equipped We notice that several of our old as sociates in this Territory hare been ele vated n position in the new Territory of Colorado. II. P. Bennett, formerly of this Ter ritory, as we stated last week, is elected delega'.e to Congress by 2S9-1 mnjori'y. C. P. Iloliy. E. S. Wilhite, and G. M.

He informed him he had none nor knew of none Mr: Paddock's duties, since he has been in office, have been arduous, but faithfully and satisfactorily perforrcedv and we believe were the matter submit ted to a vote of the people of Nebraska, he would be the choice two to one over any other man heretofore spoken of in connection with that office. . We see by the Denver JVcws that in the organization of the First Regiment Colorado Volunteers Rev. J. M. Cniv ixctos, formerly of this section cf Ne braska, was tlected Major. Mr. C. is a whole team;' can preach, pray and fight. He was both n '-soldier cf the cro3" ar.d musket, throigh the Kar.sr.s war. oi wor.-nip in religious solemnity, and to the end that the united prayer of the nation may as cend to lh;2 Throne of Grace, and bring down plentiful blessings upon our own country. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the great seal of the United States to be utlixid, thij 12th day of August, A.

In view of the present deplorable con dition of our country, we, the uinlHrijn ed, citizens of Brownviilo and vicinity. I agree to lay asitle. so far as ppictirald. our secular pmplnymeiii on Thursday, the 2Gih of September, which, ihruii,rh the recommendation of Congress, has been appointed by 'he President of the Unittd Slates to be observed as a day of humili ation before God on account of our na tional sins. r.nJ in prayer to him that he wo. ild have mercy on us. and avert the calamities with which our nation is now afflicted.
