From Tennessee. Mobile, September 6.--A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Tupelo, 5th, says: General Armstrong's official dispatch says, that since his last dispatch, he has crossed the Wahatchie river, and passed between Bolivar and Jackson, Tennessee, destroying bridges and trestle work. At Denmark he encountered two regiments of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and two pieces of artillery. He captured the artillery, destroyed a portion of the trains, took 213 prisoners, and killed and wounded, by their own account, 75 of the enemy. Our loss was small. The prisoners were paroled. At the Bolivar fight two Federal Colonels were among the killed. At Denmark, one Lieut. Colonel and eight other officers were taken prisoners. He had the co-operation of Colonel Jackson, whose command deserves equal credit with his own. Jackson, September 5th.--General Van-Dorn to day revoked his order declaring martial law. The Essex came up to Vicksburg to-day

The Uprising in the West--Salt manufacture — the Conscript law. Ball Knob, Giles Co., Va., Sept. 6. I must write a short letter, as your paper is scarce and mine scarcer. On my way to this place, yesterday, I met about fifty volunteers, on foot, and some barefooted, all the way from Jackson county, Va., which is on the Ohio river, on their way to join Gen. Floyd; and you will be glad to hear that eight hundred more, they say, are coming from the same county to join our forces. Some were armed with old Virginia rifles and some with shot guns. All looked cheerful, and seemed to breathe free and stand erect, like freemen released from bondage.--They say the West is rising, and thousands are hemmed in by the few traitors and Yankees that infest the country. Open the way and they will come. Salt, salt, is all the cry here. I left the Washington county Salt Works a few days since and was surprised to learn that four of the Southern States had made contracts to manufacture

The Merrimac no. 2. --The New York papers have a dispatch dated Norfolk, Sept. 6th, to the following effect: There is great excitement here in consequence of a report that the Merrimac No. 2 had reached the vicinity of Newport News, and had an encounter with two of our gunboats, and had driven them before her. All the shipping here has been removed to a place of safety, but no fears of anything serious are entertained, as such arrangements have been made by our naval authorities as will probably make the career of the Merrimac No. 2 of shorter duration than her former namesakes.

o are considered Union men, because they come from the North and do not own niggers, received no receipts or money, and had cornfields swept away, cattle driven off, and were nearly ruined. Many who have taken the oath of allegiance threw open their houses and feted and feasted the rebel officers and soldiers, and evinced every token of delight. From Harper's Ferry — the Evacuation of Point of Rocks. The Philadelphia Inquirer contains the following letter: Harper's Ferry, Sept. 6th. All is not quiet upon the Potomac. Conflicting rumor, the proximity of the rebel forces, rebel raids, the driving in of our pickets and frequent capture of the same, have raised a ferment which nothing but the presence of an overpowering Union force can allay. The train which left Baltimore at 5 o'clock on Thursday evening is detained at this place, and the train going east is stopped at Cumberland, a repetition of the attack at Manassas and Catlett's Station being feared.

Our army correspondence.the campaign across the Potomac. Winchester, Sept. 20. Having arrived at Winchester on the evening of the 18th, I proceed to give you a condensed statement of the important events which have occurred on, or near the upper Potomac, within the last few weeks. On Saturday, the 6th of September, the Confederate army reached Frederick City, in Maryland, encamping, for the most part, a mile or two Southeast of the city, on the side towards Washington. But few forces actually entered Frederick until Tuesday, the 9th. On the day and the next, our whole army took up the line of march, passing through Frederick westward, on the turnpike leading to Hagerstown. Apart of the army proceeded as far as the latter place. A few days after, one portion crossed the Potomac at or near Williamsport, and marched to Harper's Ferry, via Martinsburg. The Yankee forces at the latter place fell back to Harper's Ferry — which place was invested by our forces on both

in every direction and got out of range as quickly as possible. We could not learn the effect of the shots, but from the yelling of the rebels they were supposed to be effective. The command returned to camp this morning, bringing in horses and mules for the quartermaster's department. Letter from Gen. M'Dowell to the President. The following is the letter of Gen. McDowell, demanding of the President a thorough investigation of the accusation of Col. Brodhead: Washington, Sept. 6. To His Excellency the President: I have been informed by a Senator that he has seen a note in pencil, written by a colonel in cavalry, mortally wounded in the recent battles, stating. among other causes, that he was dying "a victim to McDowell's treachery," and that his last request was that this note be shown to you. That the colonel believed this charge, and felt that his last act on earth was a great public service, there can be no question. This solemn accusation from the grave

vine ordinance. But as the Confederacy was the first to make the brilliant truth, it might have been hoped that some toleration would been tended to those on which the fight dawned more slowly. The President, however, now proposes death as the penalty of doubting it. Those who in any shape recognize the equality of the two races will be henceforth dealt with as felons, "hung or shot, as may be most convenient," when they get within the power of the Confederation. [from the Spectator, Sept. 6.] Mr. Jefferson Davis has issued another of his able messages — in English, that contrasts strongly with the chequered grammar and laborious obscurity in which Mr. Lincoln shadows forth the travail of his soul, and far superior in composition to the ordinary Queen's speeches. He is, however, less self contained than usual, inveighs against the barbarities of the Union troops, and panegyrics the innate humanity and tenderness of his own in language that invites criticism to the practice

ved some where. Requisitions for all necessary clothing for this brigade were handed to our Division Quartermaster, McMahon, in September, while the army was in the Kanawha Valley. Whether the fault rests with him or with somebody at Richmond I shall not pretend to decide. I merely state facts. A due consideration of all the circumstances, however, should have prompted the clothing of the army of Southwestern Virginia long ago. This army use marched no less than 600 miles since the 6th of September. In this time it has been exposed to many hardships and privations; besides it should have been borne in mind that winter sets in at least one month earlier here than in Eastern Virginia--Only feed and clothe these men as they deserve to be and they will fight well; but let a soldier's treatment be such as to get up the idea in his mind that his Government is indifferent as to his welfare, or ungrateful for past services, and his spirit is destroyed and his services are rendered grudgin
