that Geo. Hardy has been captured at Harper’s

[This may be General Harney on his way
from the West to Washington. There is no

many of whom are leaving for the South.
The Heights at Georgetown are garrisoned

The Star of the Weat was captured by three

to her, and then made for tbs 44 Star," lying at
anchor outside the bar. The 44 Rusk ” was run
along side of her, when the volunteers rushed
aboard and captured her.
As the men rushed on board, says the New
Orleans Picayune, Ensign Philip Dugan ad
vanced with the Lone Star llag. The First
Officer of the Star of the West demanded to
know what lug was that, and to whom he was
surrender. Tho Kosigs responded in the

camped 650 U. 8. troops, and $30,000 in specie,
belonging to the Paymaster’s Department, wait
ing to bo transported to the Bttr of the West.
These troops of the Federal Government were
principally from San Antonio and the Rio
Grande, and their surrender, with the money

in.
The Star of the West has since reach New
Orleans with 80 Galvestoa troops on board —
She has 900 barrels of provisions on board des

To the Voters of the Fourth Congressional
District.
Fellow Citizens:—I regard the proclama
tion of Lincoln an a declaration or war against
thp South. It is an act, which,' for madness
and mischief, has not a paralled in (he histo
ry of the civilised world. There it no alter
native left us but a determined and united
resistance to the waulon aggression and wrong,
with which we are threatened. In this peril
ous crisis, l desire that union and harmony
should prevail throughout the South. I shall
do all in my power to secure this end. We
must stand shoulder to ehoulder, with onq
heart and oo* purpose. My name u withdraw*
at a candidate for Congress, and I declare tuj
determination to uuite with all patriotic men
—whatever may have beea political opinions
—for the adoption and prosactuion of rotpa*
ures oeoeeiary for the defense of our rights,
and the protection of oartivasides. Tkoumiom
(f the South it neoeitaryffr <A* talottUon of the
South! Let us tet, and act pr&luptty tin fhlt
matter, and we seed not fear the result. The
God of battlee will defend the right!
I shall ever feel grateful for the kind withes
expressed for me by eo many of you, siuws
my announcement as a candidate for Congress.
I have endeavored to do my duty.
