the enemy without expecting reenforcements. So to be prepared for any contingency, he brought together all the troops within his reach, and sent an express for Williams's brigade, now twenty miles distant, to march all night and join him in the morning. He gave positive orders to the forces in the field to open fire upon them aod order, considering what he had suffered. Gen. Banks, hearing of the engagement on his way to Washington, halted at Harper's Ferry, and ordered back a part of Williams's division. Gen. Banks himself returned, and after making a hasty visit to Gen. Shields, who was confined to his bed with his wounds, assumed command of the fort in the valley, and if they were satisfied with the result, I am sure Old Stonewall is. I learn through a gentleman who left Winchester on Tuesday, that Mr. Philip Williams and other gentlemen applied to the Federal commander for permission to bury our dead. This was granted, and the pious duty was performed in a suitable mann

last crust of bread, and whose noble women were ministering angels in the hospital, and always ready to make any sacrifice, endure any hardship, suffer any privation or risk any danger for the land they loved so well and the cause they served so faithfully. We would have expected these people to have honored the Confederate dead and accordingly we find that as early as the autumn of 1865 (before any similar movement, North or South, had been inaugurated), two ladies of Winchester (Mrs. Phil. Williams and Mrs. A. H. H Boyd) conceived the plan of gathering into one cemetery and properly caring for the remains of the Confederate soldiers scattered through the Valley. They called around them their sisters, and went to work so vigorously that in October, 1866, they dedicated Stonewall Cemetery, and announced that they had collected and buried in it the bodies of 2,494 Confederate soldiers. They have continued to improve the cemetery, until it is now one of the most beautiful in the

the times, that ramification will be the order of the day. On that subject, more anon. Our people are full of patriotism and chivalry, and it would not be amiss for me here to state that gentlemen of this place, who hung to the Union with so much love and tenacity, with a lingering hope of its preservation upon terms of equality, that they stood firm upon the last plank of the wreck, but grasping Sic Semper Tyrannis, are now heart, soul and body, using their influence and means in perfecting an organization touching the Southern cause. Philip Williams, D. W. Burton, T. T. Fauntleroy, Esq., and the indefatigable editor of the Winchester Republican, and last, not least, the gallant Palmer of the Virginian, who advocated the secession of Virginia at an early period — such are the men, with a host of others, who are determined to do or die, sharing a common destiny with the yeomanry of old Frederick, Virginia, and the galaxy that forms the glorious Confederate States.

the South by a system of tyranny almost unparalleled.--S the occupation of the Valley, a large number of its citizens have been arrested and to take the oath, or be sent off to Fort Warren. Among the latest victims of this rant's hate are Philip Williams, David W. Berton, and Robert Y. Conrad, Esq., who have been sent off to Fort Warren, there to remain, perhaps, until the termination of this unholy war. Mr. Conrad was a member of the late State Convention, and is one of the most prominent mrmination of this unholy war. Mr. Conrad was a member of the late State Convention, and is one of the most prominent men in the Valley. At the time of his election he was a staunch Union man, and never consented to the separation of Virginia from the Federal Union until the action of Lincoln demonstrated that it was impossible for the State to remain in the Union without submitting to the basest degradation. Messrs. Barton and Williams have long been leading members of the bar in the Valley.

The fact that so many of officers were wounded, is a proof of the as tion Our last news from General Jackson encourages us in the belief that should the enemy give him another opportunity for a fight, he will add fresh dicey to the Southern arms. The number of on a wounded in the hospitals at Staunton is about 180. Philip Williams, Esq. Rev B. F. Brooks, and other cit of Winchester, were permitted, two or three days after the fight, to come out from Winchester and bury our dead, and report that there were 83 found upon the field in all. When we consider the small number of prisoners taken by the enemy, we have a full confirmation of previous accounts that our loss was by no means so great as that of the Federal.

y widow ladies and their families--one of them a sister-in-law of Blackford. A few days ago, some of our forces visited Winchester and arrested a Union man named Dooley, who had been acting as a detective in the Lincoln service. When arrested, he had in his possession about $3,000 in "greenbacks," which he was entrusted to use as a secret service fund. He offered $1,000 of this for his release. The next day the Yankees visited Winchester and arrested and carried off as hostages, Philip Williams and Robert Y. Conrad, Esq., the most influential citizens of the place. Along the Shenandoah river, in Jefferson and Clarke counties, a regular band of robbers has been organized, composed of deserters from our army. This band employs its time and supports itself by plundering farmers and others, and their deeds of outrage cause them to be more dreaded than the Yankees. About two weeks ago a party of this band met two ladies in a rockaway, on the turnpike near Berryville in Clark

Conrad and Philip Williams, citizens, as hostages for two members of Pierpont's Government, recently captured in Morgan county. while in Winchester the white cavalry fired into the black cavalry, killing and wounding several of the latter. A heavy rain has been falling here for the last twelve hours, and the roads are deep in mud. It is reported that Seigel is concentrating, a large force in the Valley. [Second DISPATcH.] Orange C.
