Capt.B- P.TORBklt, A. A.General—
Sir—^ 'ter telegraphing the Major General this morning
before leaving Beaumont, I took a ho raw and proceeded with
all haste to Sabine, fram whloh direction 1 could distinctly
bear a heavy firlug.
At 3 P. M. 1 arrived at tbe Sabine Pass, and found the en-
emy off and Inside the bar. with nineteen gunboats and steam,
ships, and three slouve of war, carrying as well as 1 can
judge, about fifteen thousand men. After learning the state
of affairs, I proo-ieded with Captain Odium and Captain Good
to the Fort, where I found Lieut. Dowliug and Lieut. N. n.
Smith, with forty-two men. defending tbe Vort. During the
day, until 3 o'olock P- M., our men did not open on the
enemy,as the range was too distant, the offiuere coolly hold-
ing their fire until the enemy had anproaohed near enough
to reach them. But tbe enemy arriving within good
onr batteriee were opened, and gallantly replied to a galling
range,
>plied to a galltn_
and most terrific fire' from the euem'y. As I entered the Fort
the gunboata Clifton, Arizona, Sachem and Granite State and
severafothera o>me boldly up to within one thousand yarda
and opened their batterlea, which were gallantly and effect-
ively replied to by the Davis Guards. For one honr aud
tbirty minutes a most terrific bombardment of grape, canister
and shell waa directed upon our devoted and herolo little
band within the Fort. Tbe shot struck In every direction,
but thanks be to God, not one of the noble D^vls Guards were
hurt. To3 much credit cannot be awarded Captain Odium
and his gallant Lieut. Bowling, who displayed the utmoet ho-
roism in the discharge of the duty assigned blm and the de
renders of tbe Fart. Thw d u and ai., God
wfewtfiem. The honor of tho oountry waa In their bands,
and they nobly sustained it. Kvery man stood at hia post,
notwithstanding the murderous fire tbat was poured upon it
from every direction. , «.
In conseqaenoe of the aaiall number of officers, Lt. N. H.
Kmith^of the Bnglneer corps, was placed In oommand of two
Sfl poundera, and displayed the utmost gallantry and abili-
ty in the discharge of that daty.
I would also mention the oondaot of Captain Cook
aad tbirty men, Co. 1, Griffin'* Battalion, and Lt. Chester and
his men, of Co. F, of Grlffln'e Battalion, both of whom rushed
immediately to the scene of aanger,to participate in th la gal-

There bss been great rejoicing In tbe North and Northwent
over the "opening" of the Mleslsilppt, bat time will prove
that they have shouted before tbey were out of tbe wood*.
Tbe Northwest Is welcome to all the advactage it hue gained
by the fall of our strongholdrt and truet those who become so
despondent after the surrender of Vloksburg will neon get
their eyes open and aee that 4t was not audi a <at*l dliaater

We have attaobed too much importance to fosts and fortres-
ses. There Is not a fort In Christendom that cannot be taken
by continually bombarding it with a sufficient force and pow-
er. Charleston Itself will probably ee taken In time, but
while this is beiug done we will M strengthening ourselve*
In other quarters, and when It does fall we will be no nearer
"subjugated" tban we were when the attRCk;on it commenced.
If we maintain the right spirit, and continue to use all the
means In our power Judiotously,-we will in the end gain all
that we are now contending for. It Is a mighty struggle, but
we are equal to the conflict.
I bear that you are going to have a "war mee'lntf'' in Hous-
tsn. I hope at leant t0,0H0 of the citizen* ef'iYxiS will at-
tend It, and I weuId here suggest that Messrs B. A Shepherd,
T. W. House, and some other relisllu citixen, l>o appointed
receivers for all funds that msy be donated by those prssent
at the meeting, and by others in tho State who do not attend,
the same to be called the "Disablko Holdups' Fuho." Let
this fund be distributed among ul 1 ruch soldier* as have re-
turned or mty return heme disabled while the war lasts.—
When the war closes all snch will no doubt be nllewed by the
Gavernmentbeuntiful pensions the balance of their lives.—
Let them not be negleoted until snch time as tbe Government
will be in aconditicn to look after their welfare. Those who
have stayed at home and thereby saved their arms arid legs,
not to say their bacon, can well afford to contrlhulo liberally
for tbe benefit of those whose limbs have been loet or crippled.
Shell out thsn, you who have saved all, to those who have
risked all. .
One man from each regiment in Walker's division, has been
detailed te go to Texas to look after clothing for their com-
mand. Ac a targe proportion aro snffsiliig for the want of

AX KVKMTrvL DAY.
A lsxandria, September 0,1s83.
Yesterday was an eventful day in ihla burg. Long before
the crowing of tbe first cok—say about three o'clock yea-
terday morning, a courier reached here amid froth and
foam, from the direction of Harrisonburg, bringing the
startling irtelllg<-noetbataixteen thousand one hundred live
Yankees had brokon loose,and were rushing forward towards
this devoted town, driving our small force before them, and
threatening vengeance on ail rebels who should have Jhe
temerity to sarvlve until they reached here.
00 tbe recciptcf this startling intelligence there was great
commotion an ong the hard shell< and soft shells, and
shells of questionable tenacity. Sockless men might have
been seen rushing to and fro, seeking for secluded nooks
wherein to deposlte their valuables; maidens sought refuge
in paternal cbambera for fancied seourity ; nooturnal gam-
blers suddenly pocketed their gains and losses ; the "croak-
ers'' moved silently on tiptoe, aud with white lips conti-
nually whispered, "I told you sothe dogs howled and the
torn cats proceeded to finish all tbe fights they had on
hand ; landlords set tbembelves to work making out their
bills ; the old ladles put up their knitting, aud the young
ones commenoed stowing away their love epistles: tailers
secreted their "cabbage" which had been lying around loose,
and tbe shop keepers were busy packing up their goods so
as to get them out of tbe reach of the forthcoming enemy.
Time paused ou. Breakfasts were hastily dispatched, and
no preparations were mado for dinners. Courier after oour-
isrartlved, each succeeding dispatoh confirming previous
ones. The number of fans were doubled, for all were in a
terrible sweat. At last a cloud of dust was been in the rear,
On It oame, nearer and nearer, until it filled our gazing eyes.
It proved to have been caused by a battery for our defence.—
It was soon unllmhered, and planted along the levee In front
of the city. Thin accomplished, our hopes were enlivened.—
The gunnels having made this preparation lo oppose tne ene-
my, .eft their guns in position, and turned to buck against
an enemy which has long been slumbering in eur midst. So
rapid were their repetitious, in lass than two hours one half
their number were in (lie guard house I Still no enemy ap-
proached on the opposite side of the river. Nothing what-
ever oould be seen in the direction of tho Yankee force, save
a lone Indian on horseback,apparently direotfrom theOhoek-
taw nation. The day at last began to wane ; so also did our
fears. Night oame down, and all turmoil caaseU. The loug
night at last passed away, and with it the Yankees, the bat-
tery and tbe gunners who were In tbe guard house 1
This morning all is cool, quiet and balmy. The Yankees
have forsaken us, aud those who wore most timid a few hoars
since are the ones who are now spoiling for a fight.
No late paper or reliablo rumor lias reached here frem the
o.thersldeof the Mississippi, during the last two days.
1 will.state for your information, that General Magruder
was assassinated a few days since in Houston. This news
has been circulated and sworn to so long, that it is general-
ly bolieved here, and no contradiction of mine galusxredit.

The Central train last evaelng (brought the usual meagre
intelligence of "another cavalry fight" at Brandy 8tati>n
again on Tuesday evening, this time, between a portlou of
General'Stuart's cavalry and Major Brockhaa'e horse ar-
tillery, aad two or three brigades or Yankees, aided by cav-
alry and twelve pieces of artillery.
Stuart awoke the enemy by shelling a wood in which they
were concealed. The Yankees were driven back nearly to
tbe Rappabannocl£, when, being heavily reintoresd, our
cavalry fell back,and the enemy .retired aoross the river.—
Our loaswait some six killed, and i-ighteen wounded—the
Yankee loss not known.
The enemy ore becoming more daring la their renennois-
sancce daily. Tbe body that crossed on Tuesday is believed
to have been the same with whom oar cavalry aad infantry
had a brush last Saturday. The lines of tbeRappahannook
aad Rapidan are ag ln occupied by General Lee, and the
enemy are in Stafford and Paquuier.
from Wlillamaburg we learn that tbe Yankees have started a
paper there called the Cavalier. The eetabl abmont ts setup trom
the type and material stolen trom the Gazette office In the town,
a paper establDu-d to perpetuate the titie of one of the same name
published there during tbe first revolution. ,
The condition of attalrs along the lUppahannock since our last
report has not materially changed. „r
The rumor with relereuce to a cavalry light on Wednesday, tn
Culpepper county, Is not confirmed by any ioformatlou we have
received.
On Wednesday a small Yankee force made Us appearance at
Falmouth, opposite Fredericksburg, and It Is coi J ctured that
they have a considerable force moving lu that direction.
•ihe latest Intelligence we have from the valley leaves no donbt
that the enemy have again Occupied Winchester In considerable
force, and that they have extended their lines as tar as Middle-
town, on the Yalley turnpike,seven miles eaat ot gtrasburg. -

Editor Telegraph—I am a soldier in the service of the
Copiederate 8tat«s; have been fortwoyeaisj am bow on
my way to my eommaud in Arkansas; have been home for
the lirat time in two yoars ; have always believed the South
oould not be subjugated by the abolitionists. This is tbe
opinion of the Contoderate army. I am sorry, however, to
find a number in Toxas who are now whipped ; men who
know nothing of tbe war ; men who have never yet, and per-
haps never will, smell gunpowder, provided tbey can keep
out c f the way. If, however, Texas should be so unfortunate
as Vi ho invtded by tho uboliUon army, vhloh I hope will
never, au'aetount of the patriotic men and women of thle
State, occur, it would do my h^art goad to sec the men who
aro now refusing (.osoll their surplus products for the cur-
rency of tbe country, have their property swept from them,
as chaff before tho win j. This it sure te be dons, whenever
the State Is inv&ded. Tbe men who now oharge a soldier 95
for a night's lodging, will then experience the folly an^.
wickedness of their present eourse. In my way up from
San Antonio, I have occasionally met with a patriotic man,
but a large majority on the way t ide, ootel keepers have ns
more patriotism thin had' the TcHes of North Carolina,
in the revolutionary war. One person, with whom it was my
misfortune to spend the night, ten miles north ef Austin, m
charred ste the next morning gS, and said it was enly "four
bits." Another cold blooded farmer near Waco, said be
heped every mouthful r.f bread made from the tenth ef bis
crop, would kill a Confederate soldier. Another patriotic
citlzcn in this vicinity, said there was no Southern Confed-
eracy—never had been, and never would be ; it was all a
onyth. In there no way te remedy these evils, for thevare
evils that must redound greatly to the prejudice of our conn-
try. Do those men know that th«y are virtually pursuing a
course thst; will result in enslaving themselves and their
children l'orages ; tbat they are advocating nngro equality 1
Do they nat know tb. t, should tho doctrine of negro equality
bo establtshed, which lt will surely be, if the South is
whipped, that but a few years will pass away before wo shall
have gone again Into barbarism V God forbid such a state of
things, and God and the people have mercy on the extor-
tioners. Dot a day of retribution is rapidly approaching I
Let ail such be prepared to accept the deolslon of a patiiotic
people, who will not do otherwise than revengb themselves
opon such as act in a way to aid indireotly the enemies or our
oountry. Very truly, yours, W. DAGLE.

Were enlisted at Paris in a few hoars and tendered to Gen.

Fallow-citizensAlmighty God, in his divine
mercy, haa given ue another signal victory over
our enemies. A handful of determined men, in
the face of 15,000 of the enemy's troops, aud a
powerful fleet of gunboats, have, for Ihe prossnt,
defeated their landing, capturing two and orip-
pling two others of the gunboata, with eighteen
plooes of artillery, and ever three hundred pri-
soners.
Fellow-oltizens, I need your asslstancs 1 Form
yourselves into companies, and assemble at Beau-
mont with your arms,as rapidly as posslblo —
Those passing through Houston will be famished
transportation, ammunition and rations, by re-
porting to Lt. Col. J. D. McAdoo, A. A. G., State
Troops. The enemy will return to the attaok
upon the works at Sabine Pass, and threatens
vengeance for his defeat. Let ns meet him like
men resolved to conquer or die.
Men of Texas, I know I do net call upon you
In vain. Shall it be said that our State was Inva-
ded, and you hastened not to the aid of your
brethren in the field 1 Let the mothers, wivss and
daughters of Texas, remembering the outrages
snd tyranny their sisters of the South have met at
the hands of the foe, urge every man to do his
duty and tarry no longer from the field. The gray-
haired elres and women of Texas Have the oour-
age to defend their homes from local danger. If
the able-bodied men will march te meet tbe ene-
my and conteetevery inch of ground, which leads
to plantations and homes, to be desolated by his
vandal hand 1
Businessmen and planters, the time has oome
for you to turn aside from your dally pursuits and
rally to the defenoe of your country. Wait not
until tbe enemy has wrested frem you the fruits
of years of toll, or ravaged the fields upon which
you rely for a sustenanco.
Old Texane--men of the days of 'S8—men of

trusty knife before at the oall of danger. Come
now,and the men who love you Ibr your deede of
