The Legislature had no power to pass an or- dinance of secession. These arrests demanded immediate trial, even by @ drum-head court- martial; but instead of giving that which the law guarantees to the poorest citizen, they were told they could have their liberty by giy. ing their parole, ; Some, worn éut by the fatigues of imprisonment, did finally give their parole; but others preferred to yield their lives rather than submit to the hu ting test that was requited of them.

Justice, humanity, liberty, and the public Welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for the cessation of hostilities, with a view to an ultimate convention of all the States, or other peaceable means te that end, that, at the earliest practicable moment, peace may be restored on the basis of the Federal Union of the States. Resolved, That the direct interference of the military authority of the United States in the Tecent elections held in Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, and Delaware, was a shamefal violation of the Constitution, and a repet tion of such acts in the approaching elec- tion will be beld as revolutionary, and to be resisted with all the means and power under F. bet. 9th and th sts., First Week of the beautiful Ballet, arranged ex- sion of the scholas- pressly for the Canterbury by MONS.

The rumor gives his force from six to eight thousand men, with twelve guns. ‘When last heard from they were near Mc- Minnville, advancing ‘oward Murfreesboro. Their probable intention is to destroy the Fed- eral line of communication to the front. It is supposed the first demonstration woulda be made upon Duck river bridge. No appre. hension need be felt inregard toan attack nyom this city. Another Account. NASBVILLE, Aug. 30.—Reports reached here this morning that a rebel cavalry force was near Lebanon, Tennessee, and had captured some thirty Federal cavalry, but the river being too high to ford, it is presum they have sin ined Wheeler’s main > near Murfrees| % There are no reports from Gen.

FROM SHERMAN’S ARMY. Another Important Movement, NASHVILLE, Aug. 29.—It is rumored thatGen- Sherman has moveda portion of his army to the vicinity of Red Oak, and is advancing upon Atlanta from the south. It is doubtless his intention to attack the city from several points simultaneously. Noofficial intelligence of General Sherman's movements haye been received. An Account from Rebel Sources.

Spirited Fight near Charlestown—Enemy in Force in the Shenandoah, [Correspondence of the Baltimore American. } HEADQUARTERS MIDDLE MILITARY Divis- ton, August 30.—The position of our army since my letter yesterday remains unchanged. There was ® very spirited fight yesterday at Smithfield, or, as itis sometimes called, Mid- dleway; about seven miles from Charlestown, which proved that the enemy had not yet re- treated up the valley. General Custar’s brigade of cavalry, with Capt. Hanson’s battery of artillery, were moved across the Opequan about a mile peyond Smithfield, for the purpose of making a recon- noisance toward Bunker Hill. They had pro- ceeded ubont a mile when they came on the enemy’s skirmish line. A portion of General Custar’s command were dismounted and eent in to engage them. The skirmish lasted until eleyen o’clock, when Custar was obliged to re- tireactoss the Opequan, where he was rein- forced by DeCesnola’s and Gibbs’ brigades of cavalry, when skirmishing was renewed with increased vigor. The enemy nowsenttwo brigades ofinfantry across the Opequan, with a view of outflank- ing ns and cutting off our retreat on Smith- field. In this they were foiled. Gen. Merritt, discovering their intention, retired on Smith. field before they could aceomplish their de- sigus. Heavy skirmishing was kept up all the ume we were retreating, and we inflicted eon= siderable loss on the enemy, as our men took advantage of every commanding position, and from behind every cover, to pick off their ad- vancing line. In the meantime, Gen. Sheridan had ordereg@, Rickett’s division of infantry, of the 6th cor .* to proc:ed toward Smithfield and suppo- ct a cavalry. The infantry reached a po: “at about two miles this side of Smithfield at o'clock m., when they formed a junction “with the a alry, who had gradually fal’ on back to that place, contesting every ine’, of ground. The two forces united and NO @ assumed the offen sive. Gen. Ricketts “eployed one le or his command 98 8) irmishers, and sent them ia advance of the cavalry. As soon as the enemy Giscovere” they had infantry to contend with, they Tapidly withdrew. SIx O'cLocK.—Onr forces pushed them yery closely, and captured some prisoners. Our Joss in the whole affair, including killed and ‘wounded, will not exceed one hundred, whilst that of the enemy must have been much great- er, as we had the advantage of position. Among the killed was Dr. Rulison, medical director on the staff of Gen. Torbert. He was riding along the skirmish line in company with Gen. Torbert and Capt. Bailey, when he was thot by one of the enemy’s sharpshooters, who was Some moments previously discovered by Capt. Bailey to be paying particular attention to the General and staff. The reconnoissance yesterday has developed the fact beyond adoubt that the enemy still have a heavy force in our front, and it is be- lieved that they are concentrating at Bunker Hill. Clouds of dust were distinctly seen yes- terday, arising from the road between Bunker Hill and Winchester, supposed to be the en~ emy’s wagon train going up the valley.
