From Gen. Lee's army. There is nothing of importance from the Army of Northern Virginia. A cavalry fight is said to have occurred near Charlestown on Thursday last, in which our troops are reported to have captured two hundred prisoners. Our loss is reported at 16 killed, about 40 wounded, and 20 missing. This news reached Lynchburg on Sunday night. Everything was quiet along the lines on Friday last--Colonel Edenborough, who was present at the shelling of Charlestown on Wednesday, who arrived here last evening, states that the enemy only captured one captain and eight of our men wounded. The Northern papers report this officer as Captain Smith, of the "Richmond Artillery." It is probably Captain Benj. H. Smith, Jr., of the 3d Company Richmond Howitzers, a section of that company being on picket duty at the time of the Yankee advance.

Escape of a condemned man --David W. Rogers, the soldier condemned to be shot on Saturday, for desertion, escaped from Castle Thunder Monday morning, between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock--Rogers was to have been shot about three weeks since, but was respited until Saturday by the President. Rogers was imprisoned in a room frRogers was to have been shot about three weeks since, but was respited until Saturday by the President. Rogers was imprisoned in a room fronting on Cary street, the door leading to whish was watched by a sentinel. It seems that he escaped between 2 and 3 o'clock Monday morning. By cautiously lifting the window of his room he was enabled to get on the perch used for drying tobacco.

It seems that he escaped between 2 and 3 o'clock Monday morning. By cautiously lifting the window of his room he was enabled to get on the perch used for drying tobacco. By watching, when the sentinel below had turned his back, he was able to crawl to the end of the porch over the office door. When the sentinel again turned his back, he went down the small wire that surrounded the end of the porch, and swung himself to the ground by means of the iron bracket that supported the structure. A sentinel down below heard the fugitive strike the ground and called to his companion, and

the Yankees, and they are determined to have nothing more to do with them. Let them pay off their own debt with their own resources; we have as much as we can do to pay off ours. We cannot consent to return to the state of vassalage from which we have emerged. We cannot consent to sit in a Congress in which nothing is debated but the nigger from the beginning of the longest session to the end of it. We can never again affiliate with people who made a martyr of the cold-blooded assassin, John Brown, and thought he was doing a glorious deed when he was dying his hands in the blood of our people.--We of the Confederate States made up our minds to endure the worst extremity to which war can reduce a people. We are prepared for it. The Government that should propose to reunite us with the Yankees could not exist a day. It would sink so deep beneath the deluge of popular indignation that even history would not be able to fish up the wreck. It can make no difference to us, then, what

t is true, a difference of opinion. The Abolitionists seek our subjugation by emancipating the slaves and arming them to fight against us.--The Democrats profess to leave property as it now is. This difference, however, is theoretical merely. McClellan is a wide-mouthed declaimer against the Abolitionists, yet he has done more injury to Southern slaveholders than all the Beechers and all the Garrisons that ever preached a crusade of murder against the South. From first to last, he has lent ho fish up the wreck. It can make no difference to us, then, what party prevails in the coming elections in the North.--Neither is likely to propose anything that the South will accept. Both will conduct the war on the same principle, as we may learn from the example of McClellan. We must look to ourselves and not to the enemy. Even Mr. John Van Buren cannot think of letting us go without inflicting a deep humiliation on us. The South are not prepared to submit to any such humiliation.

ersons well acquainted with New York politics believe that the city of New York will give a majority of 40,000 for the Democratic ticket. In the meantime, however, Bennett, who but the other day published an article in which he foreshadowed curses that have fallen on no city since the fall of Jerusalem as destined to fall upon New York in the event of Wadsworth's election, has faced to the right about and shouts vehemently for that very Wadsworth. Perhaps he may have received orders from Washington — perhaps he may have been bribed, as some of our contemporaries conjecture — but the most probable surmise is that he sees something in the atmosphere which indicates the certain election of his new favorite. It can make very little difference with us, we imagine, whether the Democratic party or the Republican triumph in these elections. Neither of them is a peace party, so far as we are able to see, and both of them propose to carry on the war with all the powers of the Government,
