Headquarters Dei* t of Aknapclis, 1
aTune27fh, 1861. ( I
By rir{ue of authority vested jo me, and in obe- |
dier.ee to orders, as CommaiadiDg General of the ‘
Military Department of Annapolis, T have ar
rested,* and do now detain in custody, Mr. George
P. Kane, Chief of Police of the city of Baltimore.
I deem it proper at this, the moment of arrest, to
make formal and pubUc declaration of the motive
by which I have beeu governed in this proceed
ing. •
it la not my purpose, neither is it in consonance !
with egy instructions, to interfere in any manner ;
: whatever with the legitimate government of the J
i people of Baltimore or Maryland. I desire to
; support the public authoritieß in all appropriate
l duties; in preserving peace, protecting property
‘ and the rights of persons, in obeying and uphold- ,
| mg every mumcipai regdation and public statute, j
I with ta© Conat.iutioa ana laws ol the;
[ Cm ted .States and of Maryland. But unlawful
combinations of men, orgamifed for resistance to
\ such laws, that provide hidden deposits of arms
! and ammunition, encourage contraband frame
I with men at war with the Government, and while
I eojoviug its protect. on and privileges, Stealthily
l wait’ opportune tv to combine their mean© and
fttcea with those in rebellion against its autuon
tv, art not among the recognized or legal rights
of nnv class of en, cannot be permitted
under anv form of Government whatever. Such
combinations are well known to exibi ifi this de-
Uju Lcjent. The ina*” of citizens of Baltimore and
m* Maryland, loyal to the Constitution and th©
Emou, are neither parties to nor responsible for
them. But the Chief of Police is not only be
lieved to be cognizant of these facts, but, in con
t raven tion of Ms duty, and in violation of law, he
j j„ bydiiecuou or indirection, both witness and
! protector to the transactions uad the parties en
! -raged therein. Under such circumstances, the
Government cannot regard him otherwise tban
; .is the bead of an armed force, hostile to it© au
thority, and acting in concert with its avowed
enemies.
j For this reason superceding his official anthor-
I ity ad that of the Coiumisioners of Police, I
have arrested and do now detain him in the cus
! tody of the United States; and, in further pursu
ance of my instructions, 1 have appointed, for the j
time being, Col. Kenley, of the First Regiment of
j Maryland Volunteers, Provost Marshal in affd for
j the city of Baltimore, “to superintend and cause
1 to be executed the police laws provided by the
Legislature of Maryland,” with the aid and assis
tance of the subordinate officers ot the Police De
partment, and he will be respected accordingly.
Whenever a loyal citizen shall be otherwise named
for the performance ol this duty, who will exe
cute tf©se law s impartially and in good faith to
the Government ot the United States, the military
force of this department will render to him that
instant and willing obedience which is due from
every good citizen to his Government.
Nath. P. Banka,
Major Gen. Commanding Dep’tof Annapolis.
The Police Board of Baltimore protested against
, the proceeding as follows :
j Whereas the laws of the State of Maryland
j give the whole and exclusive control of the police
forced)! the city to the Board of Police, organ
ized and appointed by the General Assembly;
j and not only are the said Board bound to ex
j erciae the powers in, and to discharge the duties
j imposed upon them, but all other persons are
positively prohibited under heavy penalties, from
i interfering with them iu so doing; and
| Whereas there is no power given to the Board
! to trausfer the control over any portion of the
police force to any person or persons whomso
; *-vet, other than the officers of police appointed
! by sh m, in pursuance of the express profusions
> ot the law, and acting uuder their orders; and
Whereas, by the order© of Major General Hauks,
1 an officer of the United Mates Army, command
! irig iu this city, the Marshal ol Police has been
I arrested, the Board of Police superseded, and an
j officer of the army appointed Provost Marshal,
i and directed to assume the command and control
; of the police force of the city : Therefore, be it
j Resolved, That this Board do solemnly protest
i against the orders and proceedings above referred
to, of Major General Banks, as un arbitrary exer
-1 cise of military power, not warranted by any pro
; vision ot the Constitution or Laws of tho United
j .States, or of the State of Maryland, but in de
j rdgatioiLof all of them.
Resolwd, That whilst the Board, yielding to the
I force of circumstances, will do nothiug to increase
1 the present excitement*or obstruct tue execution
j of such measures as Major General B jiks may
a- eui proper to take on lira own responsibility, for
the preservation of the peace of the city, and of
( public* order, they cannot, censistently with their
view's of official duty, and of the obligations of
j 11 . - oaths of office, recognize the right of nnv ol
the officers and i **n of the police force, hr such,
to receive order* or directions from any other
authority tbau from this Boaid.
Resolved, That in the opinion of the Board the
: forcible huepensioii of, their functions, Huspendf.
it the same tine the active operation of the Police
j Law, and puts the officer* au*l met) off duty for
ifie pres-ut, leaving them subject, however, to
ih£ rule.- and regulations of the service as to their
personal conduct and deportment, and to the or- 1
ders which this Board may see fit hereafter to
Hhue, when the present illegal suspension of their
! tu. ctious shall be removed,
j [Sigued by the Board.[
The Baltimore fx change of Friday has the Col
j lowing :
! The crowning outrage of the military despotism
! which now* usurps tbe functions of a once free
! Republic was perpetrated yesterday. The 27th
June will henceforth be remembered as the black
‘ est day in tbe annunlsNJf the history of Maryland,
j In th-dead,of night,un armed uand of twelve
j hundred men entered <ui city and arrested Mar-*
shill Kane. At au early hour in the day the, Po
iic** Boaid was superseded. Under these circum
stances the Board iiud.but one thing to do. They
I could nbt suffer themselves or the police force to
j be made responsible for Mujffr John R. Kenly’s
; proct*‘<fiii2% nor to be eolkiprotnised by any eou
i uection with tue individuals to whom Geueral
j Banks had coutided the chief direction of our mu
j nicipftl affairs. Deprived of all authority, the
Hoard ootfld not consistently with its self-respect
• to duty, appear to countenance the acts of the
I usurping power. It therefore temporarily dis
| missed the police from further duty, and ordered
] the men to take off their uniforms. The rule of
J the clubs of other days will now be re-established.
> \Ve give below a more detailed account of the
i events of the day :
AUR I hT OF COL. 080. P. BANE.
The circumstances of the farreat were as fol*
| lowa ;
Between 2 and 3 o’clock yesterday morning,
about 1,200 military, cousistiag of portions of the
i New York and Feuusylvania regiments, inarched
into tlie city, and proceeded up Charles street to
Siouut Vernon Place. Here they divided into
i two columns, one of which marched directly dowu
i to St. Paul street, while the other proceeded to
Madison street, down which they turned. It
; halted also at St. Paul street. Small detachments
I were sent out from each column, which took up
positions near Calvert street, so that Marshal
Kane’s house, on the south side of St. Paul
street, was completely surrounded. The door
i heir was then rung. Col. Kane answered from
; one of the upper windows. He asked the object
; of this visit, and was informed that it was to
i arrest him. He immediately came down stairs;
j opened the door, and delivered him sell up, re
marking to the officer that the Government had
put itself to much unnecessary trouble, as a note
requiring his presence at the Fort would have
been answered personally.
He was placed in a close carriage, which had
been brought for the occasion, and then con
ducted to Fort McHenry, one half of the detach
ment preceding and the other half following him.
He was yesterday allowed to communicate with
his family by letter. On the march from the
Federal Hill camp to the dwelling of the Colonel,
all police officers and other persons met on the
street were placed under arrest and forced to ac
company the military. The same caution was
taken on the return march, and it was only when
the military had got beyond the limits of the city,
eu route for Fort McHenrv, that the police and
citizens were released. W ith the dawn of the
morning the news of the arrest began to circu
s iate through the city, and at a very early hour
crowds collected in trout of the offices of the lead
! ing newspapers.
The Exchange remarks, editorially—
The people of Maryland have at last been com
pelled to drain to its bitter dregs the cup of hu
miliation which conquerors ever press to the lips
ol a subjugated people. The.r Mate was ouce
the very sanctuary of freedom—and now ! her
liberties are prostrate in the dust; her rights#re
overthrown, and her citizens hold property and
life at the sufferance of the Northern legions which
have swarmed across her border. The sullen
drums of the invaders reverberate among her
hills ; their bugles may be heard aloug the banks
of the i>uaquebanna aud Potomac ; their frowning
batteries look down defiantly upon her cities.
Man-land is overmatched, but she is not cowed—
she is overpowered, out—thaak God—she is un
couauered Her high spirit is unbroken, her
bright hoher is uusuiiied—there is life ui the Old
Laud yet.
Howes or the Nokthwest.--The correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, under date of June
2?d, furnishes the subjoined items from Grafton,

Tl e Confeds are jetting “sassy.’’ At Phillippi
the pickets keep up a constant skirmish, and res
tefday one of the guards of an Indiana regiment
was killed while on duty. Las? night three pri
i rates ia Company I, 0.00 Twentieth, were shot at
the hrst station west of Glover’> Gap, where they
were guarding the Baltimore and Ohio Road.—
They were shut in tbt* breast, two of them, it is
feared mortally wound* and. To-day. when the Ar
!tilery were out practising, bu: a little way from
here, over the northern hills, they were fired into
bv a mounted scout of the rebels, who Lad pm-h
--- ->d cut that far on the read from Phillippi. Some
, oi >r.r Ohio boys are after them, and’ it is hoped
will b-u g :!.ix in. Tbejpichets aeport vh:s even
ing that they have been fired upon.

From North Wept Virginia.—A letter to the
Richmond c dated Laure) Uiii Camp. Bar
low Cos., Va., near PL'.b |pi June*#, says :
This place has been selected as one of the posts
for the gathering of troops for the Northwestern
anuy of Virginia. This department is under the
command of Gen. Garnett, an officer of ability and
ixpaicaee, in whom those under him have the
greatest confidence. The numbers of Confederate
troops at present in this neighborhood I am not
able in state accurately, but from good authority
1 learn that it is sufficient to meet any advance of
the enemy.
A few nights sidcc a party of our scout* fell in
with tie scouts of the enemy, killed one of them,
captured three horses, took threa prisoners, forty
dollars in money, and a fine gold watch. The pns

Escape op Three or Old Abe’s Prisoners.—
Capt. Balance, one man and a boy, arrived here
this morning from Old Point, where they have
been held aa prisoners since the Ist of May last.
Last night being very dark they took occasion to
leave in the yaw] boat from their ves>el which was
anchored up at the mouth of Mill Creek. Captain
B. was in command of the schooner Sarah and
Mary, from .Alexandria, with a load of coal
H. Hodges A,Co , of this city, when arrested last
May bv the nlockade. They took hie load of coal
| and used it without paying him, and have ever
’ since held him and his crew as prisoners of war
on board his vessel. The Captain has had but
©light chance of gaining information about the
J enemies movements, Ac. He says they have 25,-
000 troops at the Point and Newport News ; that
! many of them are discontented, and will return
home at the expiration of their three months eif
] listment; that the Baltimoreans are making a
.food thing out of tbe war, their Bay line boats
| arriving full of freight, Ac., ‘daily; that Ge.f. But-
I !er Lad personally accompanied two reconnouer

A Nrst of Traitors.—lt appears that a nest of
traitors discovered here by means of a
letter which was intercepted in the possession of
a wopian who was making her way to the North
in tbe flag of truce boat, on Tuesday last. Ano
ther letter has been brought out, equally as ob
noxious as the first, and the writer ol it identified.
It was discovered while in pursuit of the author
i 0 f the first one, by a meje accident. It affords
i particular* which will be of considerable impor
: tance in throwing light on th operations of a nest
of traitorous individuals wfio are known to exist
in the two cities. The matter is under investiga
tion before the Mayor, and tr.av be passed over to
j the military authorities, in which case we pre
sume, the usual late will be meted out to those
who ar# proved to be the traitor spies, as in this
case.
rtmee the above was in type, we learn from the
Mayor’s Court, that C. W. Bryan has been arrest
ed, charged with holding correspondence with, or
giving intelligence to the enemy, and was this
mormfig turned over to the military authority,
to be tried by a Court Martial.
Contemptible Villainy. —A correspondent of
the New York Herald furnishes the subjoined
We presume Dr. Hooe is the gentleman whom
th© invaders call Dr. Howe
Lieut. Budd, commanding the Resolute, of the
flying flotilla, proceeded on Tuesday last to
Howh’* landing. After firing aevoral shots from
rifled cannon to sat sfv himself that it was safe to
go on shore, he landed and proceeded to an ex
tons re dwelling house belonging to Dr. liowe.
As the Doctor was suspected of having been in
strumental in burning the schooner Christiana
Keene, Lieut. Budd-was determined to set fire to
hi* homestead. On entering tbe house, several
trunks were *eeu packed up ready lor removal,
and there were several indications of a recent
stampede, and that some of the fugitives were
females. Thu house was very richly furnished,
and contained a valuable library, all of which fell
a prey to the flames. Lieut, liudd took prisoner
a young negro man, the body servant of Dr.
Howe, who stated that the family had left the
house during the cannonade from the Freeborn
last evening, but returned at tea o’clock and sneut
the entire night in pacing up, and removed has
tily, taking some of their effects in u number of
wagons, wLen thev saw tbe Resolute coming iu.
He reported that Dr. Howe himself was wounded
by one of the shots from the rilled cannou. Lieut.
Budd took away with him a cavalry officer’s full
uniform, by way of trophy. The dwelling, which
was one of the most delightful on the banks of
the Potomac, is now a heap of smouldering ruins.
The smoke was still ascending from it when the
Freeborn passed, about an hour since. The num
ber of buildings burned six. Nothing is
left but the chimneys.
In the Tribune, of the 25th June, we lead the
following:
We once again call attention to the strictures of
our \Vashington correspondent upon the course
of public affairs. He states that the reason why
Harper’s Ferry was not occupied by the National
troops a week ago, is that tbe General command
ing there is imbecile or traitorous, and failed to
obey tlie orders of Gen. Scott. Notwithstanding
this, no investigation bus beefi ordered, nor any
reprimand administered, any more than in the
case of the blunders uad the slaughter at Great
Bethel and Vienna. But the most startling point
of *ui correspondent’s letter is the statement that
no vigorous military movement is inUruled by the
Administration -or, to speak more exactly, by
the Gabiuet. The war is to be dragged along
until tbe people, weary of armies without action,
an J taxes without triumphs, can be brought to con
t*nt to some compromise like that of Mr. Critten
den. if this purpose, or unything approaching
it, is really entertained by the members of it, we
warn those gentlemen that they cannot much
longer remain in the service of the United States.
Indeed, they might as well begin to pack their
tranks now.
Kiktitky Coming—Position of Hon. John J.
Crittenden— llls Compromise, etc. —We cohvered
venterday morning with a gentleman juat from
Kentucky, and gathered several items of interest.
Mr. Crittenden’s present position, as explained by
a distinguished politician, is thus defined: lie
will propose that th* Northern Congress shall re
cognize the Coufeperdcy, and that it
shall be submitted to the vote of the people of
Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri, whether they
will join the Northern or Southern Government.
If this proposition fails, Mr. Crittenden will re
turn home, and raise the standard of resistance,
and on such an issue, we learn, from tbe very best
informed sources, Kentucky’ will go for revolution
by at least one hundred thousand. The people of
the northern portion of Kentucky are represented
to be warmly attached to the Southern Cause, and
the cause of their delay, as represented, is the un
armed and Unprotected condition of their border.
But. when Crittenden’s proposition Jails, the peo
ple of Kentqclp will rush to anna with a zeal nud
eiithttgittbUi for which there has never been a par
allel. V*V pre assured that Mr. Crittenden’s posi
tion is that of an overwhelming majority ol the
Union men of Kentucky. The position of the
Louisville Journal and of Mallory, is reprobated
as boing but a “flight remove from Abolitionism.

Mathias’ Point. —We are informed by an eye
witoeus, of some interesting particulars relative
to the bombardment of Mathias’ Poiut bv the
Pawnee, on Tuesday. The numtfer of meu who
landed ou tbe oocasiOo was thirty-eight. They
burnt |iie bouse of Dr. A. B. Hooe and mutilated
tue dwelling ofCustis Grymes, by splitting doors,
destroying mantels, and ripping up the plastering.
The guns of the Pawuee were brought to bear on
the infantry camp near th*: point, aud the bombs
and balls raked it for several hours, tossing and
tumbling the tents, but without any effect, with
the single exception of a flesh wound, inflicted by
a piece of shell on the check of one of the men.
The enemy retired with the loss only of a sin
gle man. He was killed by one of the pickets,
just as the boat containing “the marauding party
landed, and singularly by the same man who was
afterwards struck by the shell.
Two of the Cavalry Pickets suffered themselves
to be surprised and lost their horses, which were
aaptured by the enemy.
Lateb.— We learn that the Federal troops at
tempted to laud at this place yesterday evening,
they were tired upon by our forces, ami six were
killed, eight of ten drowned, and about .twenty
took to the woods. No one was hurt on our side.

Cause of the Disturbance at Milwaukee.—
The New \ r ork Times says a gentleman who is
familiar with the state of affairs at Milwaukee, gives
the following history of the causes which have led
to the riot in that city :
Some three months ago, about forty country
banks were thrown out by the banks *of Cliicago
on account of the character of their securities,
their entire assets being in Southern bonds. Sub
sequently the remaining banks met in convention
at Milwaukee, and agreed to receive ou deposit
the bills of ail banks which were then considered
good, some eighty iu number, until tbe first day
of December, when their new banking law comes
into effect. By that law the banks of the State
were uot obliged, between March aud ttye first of
December, to redeem their hills in specie.
several of the bauks in Milwaukee,
which were represented in the Bankers’ Conven
tion, viz: the State Bank, Bauk of Milwaukee,
Juneau Bank, and Mitchell’s Fire Insuauce Com
pany, the heaviest in Wisconsin, repudiated their
own action, and refused the bills of the country
banks. This action prevented the country dealers
from making payments in the usual way to the
wholesale merchants of Milwaukee, causing great
interruption and difficulty in their business.—
Hence the uprising and mobocratic demonstra
tion.
Catture or a Spanish Ship —A dispatch to the

About o’clock this morning the Spanish ship

Moss “Pinsoe,’ —Alexandria, June 24—A
case of poisining, with p.es filled with pounded
glass, was discovered at the encampment of Col.
Howard s Third Maine Regiment to-day.
Three of the men were seised with violent ill
ness, The symptoms were peculiar, and surgeons
from tha neighbering camps were exiled in cou
gnitatiqn.
Upon interrogating the sick men, it was found
they had all eaten pies purchased early this morn

A pan of one of these pies was producad, and
upon examination it was found to be filled with
pounded glasa.
Oao of the men is expected to die, and the other
two are in a dangerous condition.
The pie vender has not ye: been discovered. A
patrol was detailed for the purpose, but up to
this evening their efforts were unsuccessful.

The Movements In Western Virginia—Men
Killed and Wounded.— The Wheeling Intelli
gence! ‘ Republican) has the following letter nar
rating the exploits of the Federal troops in West
ern \ lrgiuia
Shinnston, Va., June 22.—Yesterday a detach
meut of Ohio troops, under Capt. Calie, of the
2Cth regiment, company I, arrived here from
Muuniugton, via Hcssvill© and Luinhersport, at
which last place they took several prisoners.—
Shortly after nightfall Capt. Calie detached a
squad of men to go down to Righter’s under the
guidance of two of our citizens. On arriving at
Righter’s house Capt. Calie left Ins men iu‘the
yard and advanced to the door, but coujd not gain
admittance. In a few moments a siguaj was
heard at the back of the house, and instantly
about seventy or eighty rebels, who had been col
lected and concealed by Righter in the orchard,
rushed around the corner of the house and fired
on Capt. Calie and his men, wounding one in the
breast, another in the arm, and wounding John
Nay, one of our citizens, very badly in tlie groin.
Ou to is attack the troops fired and dispersed,
leaving Nay aud the man wounded in the breast
lying on the ground. They were afterwards car
ried to Nay’s father’s, who lives about, half a mile
from Righter’s. Tue one wounded in the breast
has since died. The ball has been extracted from
Nay’s wound, and ;t is thought he will recover.
Capt. C. before daylight this morning dispatch
ed messengers to Clarksburg, and went himself
to Fairmont. He returned about noon to-day with
about 250 men—went to Righter’s, great numbers
of our citizens accompanying. They found the
premises deserted. The troops entered his house
and appropriated everything they thought would
be useful. They then set lire to the house (which
you know is one of rhe finest iu this section of
the pountry,) to timetables, barn, j ud all the out
buildings, and they were consumed in one gene
ral conflagration, l was present and witnessed
it. They then took all the horses on the farm,
several wagons and buggies* loaded the wounded
men into them, and moved to Mannington. An
other company from Fairmont went to Worthing
ton. About 150 came down from Clarksburg this
all.'moon, and in company with a body ot Home
Guards from SOnnson's creek, went over to the
Coon’s Run country just after dark. Their object
is to form n sort of ring hunt, and close in on
R ghter’s posse. 1 think tire expedition will be
successful.
One incident occurred at Righter’s, at the sack
ing of the premises, that I must uot omit. Our
troops had one Banks Corban (a noted rebel) pris
oner. While they were guarding him, he (being
on horseback) started off as if to escape. They
commanded him to halt twice, but he paid no at
tention. They again told him to stop or they
would shoot him irom his horse. Instead of com
ply ibg he put spurs to his horse and attempted to
escape. The capiaiu ordered his men to fire ou
him, when about one hundred obeyed, at least
fifty balls striking him in the back', and nearly
cutting him in two. lie fell from his horse, Jife
less, not knowing what hurt him.
The Intelligencer remarks, editorially, that Nay
is supposed to be mortally wounded, and that
four or live of his friends were fired on and three
killed. The property destroyed at Righter’s was
very valuable. The. residence, was a very fine one,
and the lioraesaud other stock on the farm, (which
is one of the best in Marion county,) are of supe
rior quality. Mr. R. lived like a prince, but now
all is destroyed.
A Palmetto Flag at St. John’s, N. B.—The
Boston. Journal states that on Sunday last con
siderable excitement was occasioned at St. John’s,
New Brunswick, by the display of the* Palmetto
flag at the mast head of the British ship Alliauce,
of Liverpool. The Journal says .
The vessel is American built, and belonged
formerly to Charleston. 8. C. A British register
was .taken out in order to secure the protection
which tfie-insiguia of the Palmetto could not give.
She sailed for Charleston, but was turned away
by the blockade : then tried New York, where
some other obstacle interfered; and finally pro
ceeded to gt. John’s, where she now lies with a
cargo of coal and irou on board. Under these
circumstances it could hardly be expected that
the captain (De Forest) would be in a very satis
factory frame of mind,, and this display of the
obnoxious flag was intended to irritate the ship
musters and other Americuus at St. John’s.
Jm Lane’s Brigade. —We find the following
telegraphic dispatch in the New Orleans papers of

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes :
A Colonel Henderson is the agent of the rebels
in London for the purchase of arms. His bankers,
Messrs. Peabody A Morgan, have, I am told, al
ready paid out large sums of money to manufac
turers of arms.

Prom Fortress Monroe.—The Baltimore Ex
change of Friday last, says :
The news from Fortress Monroe by yesterday
morning’* boat contained but little interest, ex
cept the capture of the bark Sally McGee, from
Rio, with 3,000 bags of coffee, bv the Quaker City,
j She is owned in Richmond. A prizy crew was
placed on board—she was sent to New York. As
the Adelaide was passing up the bay a few miles
from the Fortress, heavy cannonading was heard
in the direction of Newport News Point, which
was supposed to be from a trial of gntis at Craney
Island.
The Blockade at Ship Island. —The New Or
leans Bulletin of the 24th, says that ou the previous
evening, numerous dispatches were received in
that city from Ocean Springs, Handsboro’, Mis
sissippi City, Pass Christian and Fort Pike, lo the
effect thara Yankee luan-of-war had appeared on
the inside of ship Island, with smaller v essels and
I tenders at convenient call; that the mail boat
| Oregon, on her way to Mobile, was fired at tight
| times, upon which she fired two shots back, ran
i up the Confederate flag aud put about to return
] to the city; nobody being hurt.
■ One of the dispatches stated that the steamer
: Swan had also been fired at.
Finally the Oregon got buck to the city and the
dispatches were verbally confirmed by an excited

bune, “to suppose that a bloodhound is a courage
ous dog. The men who have plunged us intotnis
war, who have holloed on the people, are men that
have wisely stayed at home. And a part of the
plan to cover up their own want of courage is to
keep up the cry of war. The rebels in the South
who planned the dissolution of the Union, who
advocated it in Congress and in newspapers and
on the stump, are the men who have taken the
field, while the Northern Editors and Congress
men and Senators who oppose compromise* who
let us drift into this war. nay, who dragged us

A rime Off the Bar. —Some talk was created
on the wharves and streets, yesterday morning,
by tbe appearance off the bar, at an early hour,
oi a sailing ship, which, irom her movements, it
was generally supposed was trving to ran the
blockade.
Tbe steam tender of the fleet was shortly ob
served ln chase of the stranger, and it was not
long before she was overhauled and brougnt to
and was then taken off to tbe flag-sbip Wabash.
She was a ugh*, ship, and prebably in ballast, and
Tom all that we caa learn in reference to her ap
pearance, as seen by those nearest her, she was
probably the Spanish ship Pius Ultra, now due
here from Barcelona, nnd which the fleet have or
ders to send to New York. She was ai one time
quite near the bar, and had her captain been well
acquainted and so disposed, she might have been
anchored in a position where she could have been
protected by the guns of Fort Moultrie, and been
safe from interference by the fleet.

Washington are obstructed, tlife rebels hourly ex
pecting an attack, and sleeping on their arms.
Col. Gregg’s &outh Carolina leginteol’s time of
enlistment has expired, and owing to bud treat
ment they would go home were it not for the
enemy’s presence. At a meeting, the officers of
tbe regiment were almost unanimously disposed
to return home. Beauregard’s advance guard,
which is composed of his best troops, indicate u
disposition to contest every inch of ground.
The Government can now concentrate 70,000
troops here in three hours.
Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, is preparing a

Washington. June SO. — Tlie rebel troops in Vir
ginia are estimated at SO,- 000, of which 50,000 are
armed. Not more than 25,000 can be concentra
ted anywhere.
There are now Is, ooo at Mauassas, and 0,000 at

Norfolk is regarded as impregnable. It is said
they don’t intend to make a stand ut any point,
and but a short one at Manassas, not intending to

Beauregard’s advanced guard is encamped from
Springfield to Fairfax Court House, mostly in
forests. All grain fn the vicinity has beeh seized
by them, the farmers receiving nothing in return.
A South Carolina regiment’s term of enlistment

I Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette .J
Washington, June 28. —There have been no
military movements across the Potomac as yet,
though there are the’ very best reasons for as
serting that the most vigorous ones are impend
ing.
Information from Fairfax represents that the
rebel forces are lessening.
Secretary Cameron receives no more visitors
except the cabinet and General Scott. He is very
busy on his report. Secretary Chuse also is very
busy. He will ask a loan of two hundred and
lifi3’ millions, a moderate revision of tlie Morrill
tariff, and most probably recommend the issue oi
treasury notes ol small amounts to be taken among
the people.
It. is asserted on good authority that the at
tempted erection ol a battery by our forces at
Mathias Point was contrary to the orders of the
government.’
Captain Ward's death is much lamented. The
officers of the Pawnee are of the opinion that some
rebels were killed by a shell bursting in the midst
of a crowd. All is very quiet here.
Grafton, June 28.—A lot more prisoners were
discharged to-day. The grounds of their arrest
were throughout, frivolous. Compauies are be
ginning to organize more rapidly in this sectiou
for the protection of Western Virginia. Major
Oakes swore iu three to-day. The five hitherto
sworn in have rendezvoused at Clarksburg.
It is understood that Gen. Morris commands
the advance column from Phillippa, and Gen.
McClellan that from Clarksburg. Capt. Benham
is to be attached to the army as chief .engineer.
Gen McClellan is overwhelmed with the details
of organization. He works almost incessantly
night and day.
FROM NEW YORK.
New York, July I.—A letter in the World from
the steamer Wyandotte, from Fort Pickens, an
nounces the capture of tlio privateer steamer Wm.
11. Webb by the Niagara, when in the act.of cap
turing the brig Kast, of New York. The Wyan
dotte also captured the Unglish bark Etna, with a
cargo of rifled cannon for the rebels at Pensacola.
A gentleman has just arrived here from New
Orleans who states that he heard there just before
leaving, and at points along the route, that the
Rebel Government had abandoned the idea of ta
king Fort Pickens and had withdrawn a considera
ble portion of the force stationed there and dis
patched them to Richmond.
He says further that some apprehensions were
entertained at New Orleans or the landing of a
large force of Union troops in the vicinity of that
city. Accordingly preparations were being made
for erecting proper means of defense. The infor
mation, he says, was communicated to him by a
gentleman who had arrived from Washington and
who alleged ho heard it from Gen. Scott.
The Government is determined to employ the
United States troops captured in Texas, now on
parole, on duty that, will not violate their oaths.
The latest dates from Mexico states that there is
no material change in affairs there. The rebel
government has several agents in Mexico and
several of tbe States, endeavoring to effect their
purposes of a recognition by creating public opin
ion in their behalf.
It appears that they are making large promises
and have already purchased several newspapers,
which are laboring iu the interest of the rebel Gov
ernment. Their recent machinations are well un
derstood by Minister Corwin, who has exposed
them to the Juarez Government.
Mr. Corwin had submitted the project of the
new treaty to the Government, and expected an
early acceptance.
King Cotton.
Spain already begins to give unmistakable signs
of uneasiness in cousequence of the limited stock
oi cotton in her- warehouses. As well as we un
derstand a rather obscure telegram in the French
new spa, era this uneasiness is betraying itself in
something like rioting dispositions. A number
of the Mouiteur published several days before the
despatch referred to, says “ Barcelona, which is a
manufacturing city, begins to feel some of the
effects of the crisis in America. Cotton, which is
tbe raw material of its manufactories, isbecoming
rare and costly. A deputation of manufacturers
has gone to Madrid to pray among other things,
for a reduction of the duty on cotton.”
‘Tile Havre Chamber of Commerce recently
wrote a letter to the Minister of Commerce, to ex
press hopes that measures would be taken to pro
tect French interests in the present state of Ame
rican politics. He replied :
“Paris, May 23,18<51.
“ Gcntle.hua: —You did mo the honor on the 4th
itisi. to treat of the hostilities which have com
menced between the two sections ( fractions) of
trie old ( ancienne) American Union, and the first
measures which have beep their consequence.
You next express the hope that efficacious mea
sures may be taken by the Imperial Government
to guarantee the important measures of French
commerce in those waters. These interests have,
as you have expected, been the object of all my
solicitude. I have been in communication with
my two colleagues, tbe Minister of Foreign Affairs
and of the Navy, and measurs have been taken
that French commerce, in its operations with the
United States, sustain no injury.
I am, Ac., E. RoTher.”
Wo call particular attention to tbe interval be
tween tbe date of the letter of the Havre Chamber
of Commerce and the Minister’s reply. In this
interval be saw our Commissioners. We likewise
invite our readers’ attention to the significant
phrase “old American Union;” evidently the
French Government regards it as a thing that
was. Recognition of us will soon follow. Our
private letters inform us the French Government
sent, tbe last wetflt in May, a steam frigate, or
steam corvette, and a brig to reinforce their
squadron in our Gulf, and three additional steam
frigates were to sail early in June. —Xetc Orleans

Seizure of a Peace Petition in Neiv York.—
A copy of the subjoined petition, numerously
signed by Wall street brokers, was seized in New
York on Friday, by order of SvperiDtendent Ken
nedy, who alleged, as a reason for its seizure, that
several of the signers wished their names erased
from the petition. The copy taken had some 700
signatures attached :
“ To his Excellency, Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of the United States The undersigned citi
zens of New York, beg leave to present to you
most respectfully and earnestly, the following con
siderations :
“ Wnile they hold themselves ready to sustain
and defend their Government, and you', as its legal
head, they respectfully suggest that the only re
maining honorable position for you to take to pre
vent the horrors of civil war and preserve the
Union, is to adopt the policy of an immediate gen
eral convention of all the States as suggested in
vour inaugural.
“ This course would secure a peaceful solution
of our national difficulties, and if any State re
fused to join said convention to ameod the Con
stitution, or adjust a peaceable separation, it
would stand unanimously condemned before the
civilized world. Earnestly deprecating civil war
among brethren, we implore and beseech you to
to adopt this course, which you may rest assured
is the real voice of the people.”
On Saturday Frederick Guion was arrested on a
charge of treason, having been engaged iD circu
lating the above. Mr. Guion is represented as a
quiet and respectable citizen and has published a
card asserting the right of petition.
The New York Tribune says “it is a bright idea
that Jeff. Davis gets our army movements from
the New York papers, when his trusty agents’
right under Gen. Scott’s nose have reported
everv move to him at least twenty-four hours be
fore these Journals reach Washington.”
Geeelet is really down on the Administra
tion, the Cabinet, and the general management of
the war. He is decidecly a rich mine—as witness
these clippings from the Tribune of 2sth nit.
We bear from one or two important sources
that the military authorities have it in comtem
plation to prevent the circulation of our modest
sheet among the soldiers, whether because we are
opposed to keeping traitors in office and appoint
ing others to office, we do not know ; but as vet
the only military commander who has carried
this h&pp.r idea -nto execution is Col. Terrv
of the Ist Connecticut Volunteers, now stationed
at Fall Church, in Virginia. Having received
from members of the regiment a request for the
number of copies of our sheet that we send to
evtrv regiment desiring them, we have taken
care’to supply tbe same ; but, as we are informed
bv a correspondent, Col Terry confiscates the
package, and wishes that “they would keep the
damned Tribunes at home.” Whether he after
ward has the copies sold at five or ten cents a
piece our correspondent does not state.
Another regiment, the first, of Massachusetts,
is snffering throngh the rascality of contractors.
The clothing furnished them, after less than six
weeks of not more than ordinarily severe wear
and tear, has become unfit for any purpose, and

On Frida} last a p Tty of gentlemen left this
citv on the steamer Adelaide for Old Point, for
the purpose of fishing. Upon their arrival on
Saturday marning, some of the passengers pro
poeing to go ashore, and inscribing their names i
in the “ book of arrivals ” for that purpose, the I
oath of allegiance was tendered to them by the
officers on duty, as a condition without which |
tbev could not be permitted to land. Two of the ;
party, Messrs. Quintin W. Ratcliffe and S. G. Is- j
rael, not wishing to take the oath, concluded to i
forego the pleasure of landing, and accordingly re- ‘
mained on board the boat, which after landing
her freight and passengers harried off into the
stream. Later in the day the two went out fish
iug according to their original intention, in a
sinill boat, and upon their return, amt immedi
ately after dinner*they were both arrested, taken
ashore and conveyed ‘into the presence of Geu.
Butler at his quarters insid£ of the fort. Geu.
Butler received them, surrounded by nis staft and
with his trousers rolled up, displaying, as the two
gentlemen observed, an extremely dirty pair of
-lookings. ■ ‘ , , ,
In reply to the question, why they had re
fused to take the oath,” Mr. Ratcliffe stated that
“ they had no desire to come ashore, that they
had merely come down to lish, as he (Mr. R.) had
been in the habit of doing five or six times in the
course of every year, for ten years.”
General Butler— 44 You’re a liar—why did you
sign the book to come ashore?”
k r r Only because others signed it, but
when we found that if we lauded we had to take
the oath, we preferred to stay ou boaid.”
Gen. B.—“ What is your objection to taking
the oath ?”
** M r> R I don’t wish to take any oath on
compulsion.”
Gen. B. — 41 No compulsion, sir—no compulsion.
Mr. R.—“ Well, sir, lam a loyal citizen of Ma
ryland, and as it possible that Maryland may se
cede from the Union, I wish to remain free to fol
low her destinies.”
Gen. B.—“ Aha I there you are—well sir, you
are where neither Judge Taney nor a habeas corpus
can reach you—and if I had stayed in Baltimore
another day, 1 would have made every mother's
| son ot you take the oath or leave the town. 1
will commit you, sir, as a spy. Sergeant, take
this fellow to the guard house, put him in iron 9,
and take care of him as a spy.”
Mr. R.—“l assure you, sir, I am no spy.”
Gen. 3. —“You’re a liar.”
Mr. R.—“l am not, sir; nothiug in the world
would make me consent to serve as a spy.”
Geu. B.—“ What business, then, have you iu an
enemy’s camp?”
Mr. R*— “I did not know 1 was, sir, in an
enemy’s camp—l thought Maryland was still in
the Union, and I am a loyal citizen of Maryland.”
Gen. B.—“ Will you take the oath, sir ?”
Mr. R—“No, sir.”
Gen. B.—‘‘Take him out.”
Mr. K.—“l beg of you, sir, to consider that 1
have a wife and a family of young children at
home, who are dependent on me for support.”
Gen. B.—“ What do you do?”
Mr. R.—“Unfo Innately, at present, nothing.”
Gen. B.—“Then you’re n loafer —I don’t think
anv woman would miss such a husbaed as you.”
Mr. R.—“ Well, sir, it you are resolved to put
me in irons, I will take the oatli under protsst.
Gen. B.—“No you don’t.”
Mr. R.—“ Well, I will take it with a mental re
servation.”
Gen. B.—“ About that you can do as yon choose.”
Accordingly, Mr. Ratcliffe took the oath, which,
in addition *> the usual formula, contained an
expressed declaration ou the part of the affirmant,
that “if ever taken m arms against the United
Stutes, he consented to bo put to death without
judge or jury,” —“ to be his own execution r,” as
General Butler faoeti ouslv remarked. The same
oath was afterwards administered to Mr. Israel,
who had substantially the same scene with Gen
eral Butler, the two prisoners being separately
examined. After all was over, General Butter
told them that they “ might put all that he had
said in the Sun paper if they liked,” and told the
sergeant to “ take them to the boat, and let them
finish their day’s sport, if they had a mind to,” —
to all of which, as well as to the mocking saluta
tion with which Butler bid them adieu—“ Good
evening, gentlemen,—good eveuing to you,”—
Messrs. Radcliffe and Israel made no reply, but
returned to tins city yesterday morning, truly
thankful for their tjgcnpe from the clutches of the
“ biggest blackguard” iu America. —Baltimore

War Movements.
From the Baltimore papers of Tuesday, we
make up the subjoined summary of vrar news, as
reported’ at the North :
FROM FOUTRteSS MONROE.
The steamer Adeline, Captain Cannon, arrived
yesterday morning from Old Point Comfort, but
brought no news of interest. Among her passen
gers were Thurlovy Weed, of Albany, and Senator
Wilson, of Massachusetts. We learn from pas
sengers that two Confederate pickets were cap
tured on Saturday night, and brought iuto For
tress Monroe.
Gen. Butler fins ordered two regiments so Hamp
ton, where they wore throwing up entrenchments.
The battery ut ifig’s Point, opposite. Newport
News Point, had been firing on the latter, and
caused the Federal troops to remove their posi
tion a mile back from the encampment they had
occupied for some time.
REPORTED CAPTURE OP ANOTHER SOUTHERN PRIVA
TKKJt.
A letter to the New York Times, dated off Fort
Pickens, June 10, says :
The Niagara is here now, and her appearance
off this harbor bodes no good to the secessionists,
as her well known terrible armament will enable
her to batter down their fortifications, and at the
same time be beyond the range of their guns.
She has already taken several prizes, one being
the .Southern privateer William il. Webb, just as
the latter,was in the act of capturing a Northern
brig called the East, of New York. The Massa
chusetts has also taken a prize off Key Went, the
Etna, au English bark, loaded with rifled cannon,
Ac., for the Confederates at Pensacola ; she had
already been there, but was ordered off*bv tho
United .States fleet, strange to say, without in
spection. Our vessel, (the Wyandotte,) is sta
tioned at the East end of Santa Rosa Island.
obn. Patterson’s command.
A dispatch from Hagerstown, June 20th, says :
It is believed that our troops will cross the Po
tomac partly at Williamsport und partly at .Shep
pard’s Ford, nine miles below. Both are excellent
fords. If they cross tho latter point and push ra
pidly forward, they might succeed in capturing at
least, three hundred cavalry. The troops are all
inspirited at the ideagof a forward movement.—
Their enthusiasm is chilled by tho fear that they
will bo marched ten or fifteen milos and halted
again for weeks.
A vidette from Col. Lougnecker’a brigado swain
the Potomac on Thursday, and came sudden.y on
two Confederate pickets asleep, lying upon their
pieces. Unarmed uud naked, he swam back, and,
informing the commander, others were sent out
to capture them, but a shower of rain hud fallen
and awakened them. To-day a Confederate pick
et was captured and taken to headquarters. The
particulars have not transpired.
The steamer Pocahontas sailed hence this after
noon for Mathias’ Point. It is understood that
the Pawnee will follow her in the morning.
Dr. Herring, one of the Confederate prisoners
taken some time since, a member of the Govern
or’s Guard, was released to-duy, having taken the
oath of allegiance.
Grafton, July I. A skirmish took place al
Bowman’s, twelve miles from Cheat river bridge,
yesterday, between portions of the 15th and 10th
Ohio aDd the first Virginia (Union) Regiments
and a company of Secession cavalry.
Tiie Federal troops were sent to protect the
telegraph poles, &c., and the Confederates mis
taking their number, a3 is supposed, made an at
tack, and were routed with the loss of several of |
their men, among them a lieutenant of the com- j
puny. Toe only loss on the Federal side was N. j
0. Smith, ot the 15th Ohio Regiment.
SITUATION’ OF AFFAIRS.
Under this heading the New York Herald, of
Monday, says:
It is confidently stated that Gen. Scott does not
contemplate any forward movements until he has
Ins whole'army in readiness, and then, that he
will order a grand general movement, simultane
ously, of'the entire Union forces from Fortress
Monroe to the Mississippi. Should this prove
true, the world will behold u grand military spec
tacle, rarely, if ever witnessed in the history even
of the greattst wars ou record, and the fortunes
of the present conflict will undoubtedly be decided
by the utter extinguishment of the rebels at all
points.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Four hundred volunteers, sick and disabled,
were honorably discharged at Washington on Fri
day.
Gen. fleott has issued positive orders no
reporters of the press shall hereafter, under any
circumstances, visit the different encampments at j
Washington.
The City Treasurer of Philadelphia, it is stated,
declines to pay the July interest on city loans, |
held by parties in the seceded States, or by per |
sons supposed to lack in loyalty to the Govern- i
meat and the Union.
Importaiif Letter from the I*otmater
General Relative to the Traihsiulwmloh
of Letter* South by Adam* ElpreM.
[from, the Cincinnati Commercial .]
Frequent inquiries have been made at the post j
office department, within the last few days, in j
reference to the matter of Adams’ Express Com- i
pany carrying letters to the seceded States, and j
by what authority thoy were permitted to do so. |
The following letter, addressed by Postmaster i
General Blair to Gen. McClellan upon this subject, J
fully explains the matter, and will show by what J
authority that company are carrying letters to j
said States:
Post-Office Department, )
Juno 12th, 1861. f
General : I have received yours of the Oth inst.
inclosing a letter from Mr. Gaither, upon the sub
ject of tne transmission of mail matter South by
Adams’ Express Company. I have to reply that
the regulation of the intercourse between the two
sections is under the control of the military au
thorities of the country, and therefore, whether
the Express business shall be continued at all or
not, is not my province to decide. If it is continu
ed, and letters are transmitted by it, and mailed
at Louisville or elsewhere, and the loyal State
postage is paid in accordance with the laws and
regulations of the service, I oennot prevent it;
but the postmaster at Louisville has been instruct- j
ed to send all letters, coming from States in which j
the postal service has been discontinued, with our
stamps upon them, to the dead letter oflice, for ‘
the reason that we do not recognize stamps and
stamped envelopes obtained from such offices in
such States, which, like other mail property, have
been fraudulently seized.
I should not object at all to the Express Com
pany receiving letters in the South and bringing
them to Louisville or Cincinnati, to be mailed to
any part of the United States, if the stamps for
the prepayment of the postage on such letters are
obtained from offices within the loyal States. Nor
would I object to the Express Company taking
letters from within the loyal States to any point
witnin the seceded States, such letters being
stamped in accordance with the United States
postal regulations.
There being do postal arrangements on the part
of this Government in existence in those States,
as a mntter of course such transmission of letters
would involve no infraction of law. The only
point on which I especially insist, in the employ
ment of the Express agency for this purpose, is
that letters mailed to points within Hie loyal States
shall not be prepaid by stamps which have been
stolen from us; and from the high character you
give Mr. Gaither, I should feel assured upon this j
point; but as we can have no understanding with j
him, he must take care to make it clear at our j
offices that he is not using the stamps stolen from i
us. Respectfully, Ac.,
M. Blair, Postmaster General.
Major Gen. G. B. McClellan,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The Assistant Secretary of State also must have
his fling at the newspapers. He says ot General
McClellan : , -
■ He has read ip. the nt'xepap&n an account of a
compact which be is aaid to have made with Gen.
Buchner in regard to the status of Kentucky. He
denies, contradicts, and repudiates the waole
statement, to the great satisfaction of the Com
manding General and the Administration, whose
only knowledge of the pretended compact was
from the neiupapcr statements, whicn Gen. McClel
lan thus denounces.”
Considering ♦hat “the newspaper statements
which Mr. Seward thus speaks of were Bimply the
official letters of Gen. Buckner to Gov. Magoffin,
or the contents of those letters, we must say that
the Assistant Secretary’s sneer is wholly gratuit
ous. But it if-, perhaps, not surprising that the
parties responsible for keeping Mr. J.E. Harvey
in one office, and appointing Major Emory to an
other, should embrace any occasion to express
contempt for the independent organs of public
opinion. !

fntereMlng from Virginia.
We take the following from the correspondence
of the Richmoud Dispatch ;
Norfolk, July 3.— 1 bear that a man, whose
name Pdid not learn, was arrested as a spy on
yesterday and brought to headquarters. Col.
tluger. file was considerably confused in the an
swering of questions put to him, and gave several
accouuts of himself. He will probably come be
fore military authority.
One of the Lincoln scoundrels on board the
Cumberland came near being shot by Lieut. Mil
ligan, one of our most respected officers at this
station. Lieut. M. jumped on board, drew ins re
volver, and would have shot the rascal in pres
ence of thfe whole crew, but for the timely pre
vention of a number of our men. This took* place
on Monday, a flag of truce having gone down on
that day.
Troops have been taken frem Newport News
and stationed at Old Point. It is stated this mor
ning that the Hvgeia Hotel was consumed by tire
last night. I place no confidence iu the rumor.
Auother account is that a Federal steamer iu the
Roads had met with the same fate, but confirma
tion is wanting in either case.
I regret to say that one of our picket guard be
longing to the* Alabama Regiment, was shot
through the arm at his post. He instantly dis
charged his revolver, but nobody could be seeu.—
A guard was dispatched to fiud the cause of the
waudering missile, but to uo use, and it vet re
mains a mystery as to whe shot the bail. His
wound is properly dressed, and we hope for his
early recovery.
I am happy to hear that Capt. McCarrick, so
nobly engaged in the service of the South in the
two vessels heretofore spoken of, also took eigh
teen prisoners.
A large ship, with about 750 bags of coffee, went

FROM THE NORTHWEST.
Laurel Hill, Beverly Cos., Va., June 20,
—There is no news of importance to write you.—
Things remain as they were when I last wrote
you. The weather has* been quite unsettled, and
our troops have suffered considerably from cold
and rain.
Yesterdav an unfortunate occurrence took place
which caused the death ot a veav estimable young
man attached to the Twentieth Regiment. There
were two men stationed as pickets some distauee
from camp, on one of the mountains uear by, one
standing guard while the other rested for a while.
Private Charles Harris, of Luneuburg, had just
goue off duty, and instructed his comrade, who
took his place, what to do and Jo allow uo ouo to
approach him. Harris then went down the moun
tain for water, and on returning it is supposed he
thought he would try the seutiuel on duty, aud for
that purpose took off hisboots and advanced ou him
keeping behind some bushes, when the sentinel see
ing some movement, gave the order to halt, which
not being obeyed, ho fired, the ball passing com
pletely through his heart, killing him instantly.—
Eddington, the sentinel, and the deceased, were
warm personal friends, and the grief of the form
er at the unfortunate occurrence, was heartreud
iug to witness. Harris was buried to-day with
the usual honors. l>r. Atkinson, now thiptaiu of

The euemy, we learn, have evacuated the totvu
of Phiilippa and crossed over ttfe river uear that
place, where they are fortifying themselves, in ex
pectation of an attack from onr troops. Their
scouts have been mostly withdrawn in this direc
tion, and tor two or three nights we have rested
without any alarm being given to rouse us from
our bed on mother earth.
There are any number of rumor&afloat in refer
ence to the future movements of the forces sta
stioned here ; but whether true or false, I am not
permitted to give them publicity.
FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
Fredericksburg, July 3.— Several very amus
ing incidents occurred ou board the St. Nicholas
before and after her seizure by Col. Thomas and
his gallant followers. Among them I will men
tion one which occurred after Capt. Hollins was
taken on board at ; Point Lookout. The Captain
(Hollins') was, as a matter of personal safety, dis
guised, und although well known to Capt. Kirwan,
was not recognized by him until after the.freak of
nature (!) which transformed the old Frenchwo
man into the terror-imparting Zouave, Colonel
Thomas. But before the disguises were thrown
off, Capt. Kirwan observed “ sly” wiuks passing
between the Frenchwoman and the disguised
naval officer, and very naturally thought he had
discovered an intrigue, and called the attention of
some of his friends, predicting “some fun.” One
can readily imagine his astonishment when the
true state of allairs burst, upon him, and he be
came familiar with the much-abused profession,
privateering.
The brig Monticello, I learn, may be, at a very
small cost, converted into a guu-boat, and proba
bly will be when the attention of the Naval De
partment is called directly to the matter.
Five vessels of war are lying off Aquia creek

Fortress Monhoe, Juuq 30.—Tho celebrated
steam gun arrived last night.
Prof. Lowe is expected to-day with his monster
balloon.
Two prisoners aud two deserters were brought
in to-day, ad of the Louisiana Zouaves, the de
serters having been pressed iuto the Confederate
service and escaped the first opportunity. They
are uniformed precisely like Duryea’s Zouaves.
The two prisoners were stragglers of a scouting
party of two hundred. They agree that an attack
on Newport News was intended night before lust,
and was only prevented by the incessant rain.
About 4,500 men, including a strong body of cav
alry, with some twelve pieces of artillery, ad
vanced from Yorktown, where there are over
twelve thousand troops from Louisiana. South
Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. The cav
alry are composed of the elite oi Virginia and
exceedingly well mounted. Provisions are scarce
at Yorktown.
The two deserters were originally from Boston
and New York. They were at Pensacola, and the
regiment having mutinied, they were paid SSO
each, the only money yet received by them. They
then went to Richmond, and lastly came to York
town.
Three shots were fired from a Sawyer rifled gun
at Newport News, the mate of the one on the Rip
Raps, one shot of which reached the opposite

Col. Blair wus serenaded to-night. In the re
sponse he made, he said we should prosecute the
war to deliver the South from oppression; alluded
to East Tennessee and Maryland, the large Union
majorities there, and called the Legislature of
Maryland a nest of copper-heads plotting to place
the State iu a false position. He spoke sarcas
tically of the boasted Southern chivalry manifest
ing itself in assassinating our pickets, but said
there was a genuiuo chivalry there which would
put down the rebels if promptly aided by the
| Government. He said niue out of ten in Mis
| souri were for the Union, yet the Legislature for
months plotted to carry her out; but her loyui
men, being sustained, had and would continue to
yive a good account of themselves. So it would
be in every Southern State were loyalists thus
assisted. Blair declared he was for war until
there was no enemy left in hostility to the Gov
ernment., and was against any compromise, which
sentiment was loudly cheered by the listeners.
He highly complimented Gen. Lyon.

The Late Cavalry Skirmish.— The Enquirer o
Tuesday has the following account, which it de
rives from an authentic source, of the cavalry
skirmish near the Potomac, in which the gallant
Ashbys were the heroes:
‘‘There were two skirmishes on the afternoon
of the 20th June, Capt. Ashby’s command being
engaged with the enemy. In the first encounter
Richard Ashby led five men to the charge against
about forty; about two hours afterwards Capt.
Turner Ashby came to the field with thirteen
men. As he advanced upon them two of his men
were shot down, his own horse being shot under
him. He led. however, his remaining ten men to
a gallant but desperate charge upon upwards of
sixty of the enemy, who were ambushed upon an
island and very much concealed kv driftwood.
The enemy were eutirely routed, losing fifteen
men, ten or twelve horses, i which vie have,;eight
or ten rifles, and as many pistols. We lost only
two men killed and three wounded. Os the
wounded was Lieut. Richard Ashby, who was
very badly wounded, having been bayonetted
twice after he was supposed to be killed. The
surgeon, however, has very strong hopes of his
recovery. ”
Ihpobtamt Information.— a document was re
ceived this morning by Gen. Mansfield, from a
true Union man, whose name is prudently sup
pressed while he is m his present position. The
paper contained information drawn from a seces
sionist, whose caution was overcome by the Im
pression that he wag in conversation with a Con
federate. It reveals a plan for the capture of the
cny. The Confederate forces are to be divided
into three separate divisions. One of these
j £to occupy the attention of our troops opposite
>V asbmgton. While this is done, anoiher column
crosses the Potomac near Occoquan, and advances
through Maryland upon the city, while the third
column, strengthened by an uprising of the rebel
forces in Baltimore, approaches the city from the
North. These three columns are under the com
mand respectively of Davis, Beauregard and Lee.
Some delav has occurred by a misunderstanding
between flavis and Lee, caused by jealousy on ;
the part of Lee, growing out of the promotion of
Beauregard, and his appointment to a position
which Lee claimed as justly coming to himself.
This is the statement coming to Gen. Mansfield.— ,

Cleverly Done.— Our readers says the N. O. j
Bulletin) will remember that a few days ago the
schooner Hope, frem Guadeloupe, was captured
off the bar by the U. S. mau-of-war Bidoklyw,
and a prize master and a crew of eight mtm placed j
aboard of her. Among the Hope’s passengers
was a French lady, who declared that she was
anxious to reach New Orleans, and protested* as a
French subject, against her detention by the V.
§. naval officers. So strong were her protesta
tions that the prize master yielded, and sent her
ashore in his boat, manned by bis eight jolly tars.
While the boat was on the wav, the Captain of
the Hope cut his>cable, raised sail and put out to
sea, with the pnzq master ou board, the Brook
lyn having in the meantime gone some distance
■off- after another vessel. \ letter peceivetl here
yesterday by her owner announces-the arrival of
the Hope at Havana, the gallant Captain beiug iu
a great quandary as to what disposition he should
make ot his prisoner, the United States prize
master.
Afßunchof Stragglers.— A bighlv mixed up
sort of crowd left the city yesterday for Baltimore.
They were riugstreakefl aud-spec iled lik~e Laban’s
goats, gotten up in every variety of style. They
comprised a lot of stragglers from at least a dozeu
different regimeqts from various parts of the coun
try, who in New York had gotten astray. How
they Mere ever got together is more than w 6 can
fiud out. The Camden people describe them as
the hardest cases ever yet drummed together.—
Tljev represent every describable stvle of uni
form, from that of the Zonave to the plainest of
grays. Some of them appeared to have been upon
a prolonged frolic, and carried heads so swelled
that if the Baltimore railroad were in anv part,
tunnelled they couldn’t possible pass it. ‘About
every man in the party was tipsy, while some o
them, having iudulged iu a fight ou the care, were
now lamenting over closed optics and Uaiteued
proookees.— Phil. North American.
Two Plenipotentiaries— W.e learn from sources
in which we place perfect confidence that Hon.
R. M. T. Hunter, ot Virgiuia, and Lion. James A.
Bayard, of Delaware, have both been in this cur
within the pa*t ten days, on a mission to Bon.
Fcrnaudo Wood and tho ieaders of tho Democra
tic party, aud to various magnates of the financial
world iu Wall street. Indeed, lor aught we know
they are still here. It is almost unnecessary that
we should add that their mission is a secret one,
and that both these distinguished gentlemen have
conducted their negotiations with all possible pri
vacy. Iu fact, from prudeut regard to their per
sonal convenience, they were both disguised, and
went about their business uuder the cover of
darkness, and in the secrecy of dose coaches and
back parlors.—A r . L Tribune, 26th ult..
Alleged Treason or the Governor op Ken
tucky.—Private letters received iu Washington
from Kentucky disclose the active complicity of
Gov. Magoffin with the rebel movements. Offi
cers of the rebel aamy are daily closeted with
him, and couriers are constantly going between
him aud ine rebel leaders at Richmond. He is
unquestionably ar ting in connection with them.
These rebels are bolder and more insolent in the
city of Louisville than in Bahimoro. There is no
Union force there to check theis operations, and
they openly make arrangements to furnish mate
rial aid to the rebels and to promote their pur
poses.— Northern poper.
Return of the Governor from Pensacola
Gov. Moore returned from Pensacola yesterday.
We are informed by a gentlemau who accompa

The prize crew, who were put aboard by the
blockading fleet to take her to New York, Were
also captured, and are now in jail at Newbern.—
So, Mr. Lincoln, we are ready to respoud with au

Hardee Improved.— A new manoeuvre in mili
tary tactics, not laid djowu in Hardee or Scott’s
manual, is suggested. The Dayton Empire sug
gests that Geuerul McClellan shall have a railroad

the purpose of instructing the recruits iu the uew
art of going to war on a tiuin of cars, and th i,

whu tis cunmonly called a water Moccasin ; und
although whiskey and hartshorn, the approveij
remedy in such cases, were freely used, the hoy
died iu about twelve hours after the bite. This
should be a warning to bathers. The Moccasin is

Counterfeit.— We were sbtfwn yesterday by”

i venturesome enough to replant cotton seed, and
are saoguine ot as good a crop of the fleecy staple

The overflow has not caased the amount of dan

have suffered most succeed in raising a good corn
crop, we question whether it will not be to their
advantage utimately.
