lear, quick, keen, and daring intellect — an intellect as fertile in resources as his will is swift to execute what his judgment has determined. We have no more formidable enemy. The appointment just announced in the Richmond papers of so conspicuous an officer as Gen Beauregard to the command of the Department of South Carolina and Georgia indicates, we may remark, the presence in that department of no inconsiderable force, and may either prognosticate a serious attempt to eject as from our positions at Hilton Head and Beaufort, or show that the rebels anticipate a vigorous effort at the reduction of Charleston and Savannah. It sets at rest, also, the foolish stories which have been current of Gen. Beauregard's withdrawal from the Southern services. The truth in regard to him we believe to be that he has simply been at the Springs in Alabama recruiting his strength, impaired by that memorable Western campaign in which Gen. Halleck did not capture him, nor destroy his army.

Positive information of this movement reached Gen. Bucil on Sept. 2d. Gen. Bragg entered Kentucky at Albany, Clinton county, on the 5th of the present month. It is understood that he had designs against Bowling Green, and moved on towards the Cumberland river. He crossed this stream on the 6th or 7th--in all probability the latter date. This is the last definite account of which we have of him. He found his designs against following Green frustrated, and is understood to have moved northward towards Columbia, in Adair county. He is now said to be in that vicinity, and, from all the information we have

Instead of being a great property interest, the institution of slavery in Maryland has become a comparatively small one, and the power of the men connected with it is reduced accordingly. The Political Uprising at the North. The Albany (N. Y.) Argus, (Democratic.) in an article on the approaching elections at the North, says the Middle States will insist upon resuming the power they once held and which has been filched from them by New England. It says: It is in vain that the voice of the press, of public meetings, of formal deputations, is heard imploring the President to give efficiency to his administration. The instruction of the people is needed; and that must be given at the ballot box. We have reached that stage of political crisis wherein our position resembles that of the British Parliament, when a revolution of political opinion dictates a change of ministry and a modification of governmental policy.

the corps of Bragg's army under General Kirby Smith are known to our readers as far as we have been able to obtain information of them. We have lately been put in possession of facts which establish beyond doubt that the two other corps of the same army have also entered the State. We briefly publish these facts for the benefit of our readers, adding that they are obtained from the most reliable authority. Our readers are also acquainted with the fact that General Buell's positions at Battle Creek, Huntsville, and McMinnville, have been evacuated by that admirable officer. Many newspapers, ignorant of the rebel movements, have blamed General Buell for his inaction and his late retrogressive movements. Gen. Bragg massed his army at Chattanooga and Knoxville, East Tennessee. The column or corps under Gen. Kirby Smith succeeded in flanking Gen. G. W. Morgan, and, with but one battle of any consequence, that of Tazewell, effected the design of getting into his rear, and thence f

It is with this conviction that the people will unite to place again in the administration of office that old and patriotic and loyal party, which has already given proof of its capacity to administer this Government, and with which alone we can achieve success in war, and under which alone we can organize an honorable peace. Major General Reno. Gen. Jesse L. Reno, U. S. A., who was killed on Sunday at the Heights on the Hagerstown road, was born in Virginia in 1825, and was consequently 37 years of age at the time of his death. He was a graduate of West Point of the class of 1846, in which year he was commissioned as bravot Second Lieutenant of Ordnance. In the Mexican war he was greatly distinguished for gallant bearing and meritorious conduct, and while still a 2d Lieutenant was honored with the brave ranks of 1st Lieutenant and Captain, which he won at the battles of Cerro Gordo and Chapultepec, in the latter o

Particulars of the surrender of Harper's Ferry. A correspondent of the New York Times, who escaped from Harper's Ferry under cover of night, and who witnessed the engagements from the beginning to the end, and left Tuesday morning at 2 o'clock, says: Skirmishing commenced on Maryland Heights Thursday afternoon, continuing three hours. The battle was renewed again on Friday morning at daybreak. Our forces held their ground until about noon, when, being flanked on the left, they were compelled to fall back to the large guns. Not long after, these were spiked, and the whole command retreated down the mountain. On Sunday, the enemy commenced a fierce cannonading from the Maryland and London Heights, which were replied to by our own. It continued until sunset, our guns ho

With the two corps of this army thus organized under Hardee Polk, and Bragg, on or about the 22d of August, crossed the Tennessee river to Harrison, a few miles above Chattanooga, the stream at that point being easily forded. On the evening of the 27th of August he had marched westward by the Mountain road to Dunlop. At the time of reaching this point, our informant first saw them, and, lying in the bushes near the town, marked them go by. He counted forty pieces of field artillery, five regiments of cavalry, and thirty-six regiments of infantry, the ranks of which appeared to him to be nearly or quite full. He repre
