triotic people will cheerfully give up all their

somethin;; to supply the place of them ; and com ’
forts, cun and will supply tho lack of blankets
provided some of our Ootton Manufacturers will
immediately —no time to be lost—embark in the j

purpose. The machinery needed for the purpose,
is, I presume s rxiplti, and an ample supply of the

Tun F.ncavpnent at Union City—Gen. Clark,
—1 he 14th and 15th Mississippi regiments ccm
pri-c a pßit of the force at Union City. A cor
respondent of the New Orleans Delta writes from
that place, under recent date, as follows :
It is a prevalent opinion here, and it is said to
be that of the Cairo commandant, that the neigh
borhood ot Union City is likely to be the scene of
the second Manassas. Gen. Clark, of Mississippi,
brigadier-general of the Confederate army, is our
commander ut Union City, and is an exceedingly
discreet, brave and efficient officer. The soldiers
and caucus have unbounded confidence in his
ability. There is no doubt that his position was
some what vulnerable to attack from Fremont’s
army last week, owing to the diversion of our
forces ut New Madrid, aud 1 am iuchned to think
that Gen. Clark is fully sensible of the exposed
condition of his forces Had Fremont been aware
ot this he would no doubt lo ve advanced, but I
<l l not believe he could have reached tho rear of
Memphis. J!
1 have taken some plans t<> inquire, and 1 find
that there are great rvs iv resources in the
country—farmers by hundred?, provided, every
man of them, with his hunting piece—a trusty rifle
or shot gun, though hat few pistole, except in
th? hands of tbe ladies. I hear many of the citi
zens of the country, and of this'own, who have
provided every female member of their families
v. :tb revolvers, and but few 1 can assure you, aie
wanting the nerve to use them.
Tho nergy of Gen. Clark has fctely proved
etifctua’, l think, in stopping the dangerous espi
o;..t •* which has been so successfully practised,
and thus no doubt has he ureveuted the exposed
nature <> his camp being known to the enemy.
His efficiency, 1 imagine, has pretty well remov
'd any vert danger at the present, as lie will mow
be reinforced, twi doubt, to the desired extent, be
foic the enemy is aware and offer him battle.
“Onward to Washington!”—The New York
Herald has -übstituted the above for the cry of
“On to Richmond !*’ We copy from that paper
of Tuesday last:
More troops are ordered to the capital. Move
ment:*. of the rebels indicate an attack on Wajsh
o.gtou. There are our national buildings, our
archives, our government, our labor for seventy
f.vc years These must be protected. The ques
* on for consideration, therefore, is what meas
i res ought to be taken to avert so fearful a catas
• he as the fall of the capital * Since General
McClellan has been placed in command of the
\ru;v of the Potomac, great vigor has been in
iused into the conduct of military matters.—
Troops are being forwarded in great numbers by
cverv conveyance, and by Saturday next about
men, in addition to those already there,
w;ii be in the capital frofu the teu States just call
ed upon by tde Secretary of War. All officers on
furlough, whether bolding command of regiments
or companies, all soldiers, in fact, not on duty,
or.ght to report at once to their commanders, and
“Onward Washington!” should be the cry and
tbe answering movement. With prompt and de
cis.v© action, au overwhelming military force can
be encamped on the lower Potomac aud Chesa
peake, prepared to prevent the rebels from cross
■ug over from Virginia, and a well appointed and
numerous army cau be eutrenched xm the upper
Potomac, ready not only to deter the rebels from
making any attempt on'the capital, but place us
; in a p osition to / resume that advance movement
which wa temporarily checked at Stone Bridge.

AIUABAITIA ITEMS.
The Mobile Evening News of the 15th, alluding
to the late gubernatorial election for Alabama,
says : “Ho far as returns have been received,
Shorter and W 7 atts are running quite close. There
is no reason to doubt, however, that the full re
turns will declare Shorter governor elect by a
sufficient majority.”
Alabama Elections.—We have now returns
from all the counties except Baldwin, Blount, Cov
ingtou, Cberok**e, Coffee, Dale, Dekalb, Lawrence,
Marengo, St. Clair, Talladega, Winston arid Wash
ington ; and the oolomus foot up—Shorter 29,543,
Watts 20,155. Shorter is almost certainly elect
ed by a small majorrty. The counties*to be beard
fnom will not much change tbe difference between
tiiem, but we think liiat they will slightly reduce
Shorter’s majority.
There was no election for delegates to Con

the time lor that election to November next.—

The Sinking of the Steamer “Hannibal Citt.”
—The Louisville Courier, of tbe 20th, says :
It will bo seen by our special dispatches that
the steamer Haunibal City, a Lincoln truusport,
has been sunk .n the Mississippi, some thirty
miles above Cairo, at Commerce, by u masked
i battery. That, in a stratcgetic point of view, is
a masterly locution for the Confederates, ns it
completely commands the river, cutting off’ all
communication between St. Louis and and Cairo.
Gen. Pillow is more than a match for Fremont <fc
Cos., with “Jessie” thrown in.
The Hannibal City was a large, fine boat, worth
some $40,000, formerly a Keokuk packet, and left
St. Louis Sunday morning with Major M Donald’s
Zouaves, ostensibly for Cape Girardeau. She
probably was extending her trip to Cairo and
Bird’s Point, when she ran foul of that “P'llow
case.”
A Cincinnati paper has the following in refer
ence to the same subject.:
Among tbe steamboat disasters, we have to re
cord the loss of the Hunnibul City, formerly a
Keokuk packet. She ran foul of a rebel masked
buttery that had suddenly sprung up ou the Mis
sissippi, at, Commerce, some forty miles above
Cairo. We did not learn whether it was owing
to the carelessness or incapacity of the pilot.
The boat left St. Louis Sunday for Cape Girardeau
aud Bird’s Point with troops/
Tbe Memphis Avalanche gives the following
relative to the situation of affairs on the .Missis
sippi .
The last we heard of Jeff. Thompson’s com
mand it was at or near Charleston, about ten
miles from Bird’s Point. From thence, tuking a
northerly direction, he must have crossed the
country until be struck the Toad leading to Wat
kins’ plantation. From thence it is about live
miles to Benton, where a small Federal force was
stationed, aud from thence to Commerce about
eight miles, where also a regimeut of Federalists
were stationed. To occupy Commerce he must
have driven the Lincoluites before him or cap
tured them. Commerce is only about twelve miles
from Cape Girardeau, V, here there are quite a
number of the enemy, and which, until a few days
since, was the headquarters of Gen. Fremont.
With a good battery at Commerce Gen. Thomp
son could command the river, but be would be m
imminent danger of an attack in the rear from
Bud’s Point or Capo Girardeau, unless Gen.
Pjllow should follow him up, keep the Bird’s Point
fellows at bay, and station a force at Benton.
However this may be, victory baa been with us
thus far and we have sufficient confidence in our
Commanders to believe that it will remain.
Important from Kentucky—The People Arous
ed.—We were permitted on yesterday by a friend
to see a private telegraphic dispatch from Pa
ducah, giving information in reference to a:i
important movement among the southern rights
men at that place. It states that a large meeting
of citizens was held on the morning of the 22d
inst., lor the purpose of taking some action in
reference to the urrest of two Kentuckians in
Ballard county, by armed ruffians from Cairo, and
the subsequent capture of the steamer Terry by
the Lincoln gunboat Conestoga, while lying With
in the jurisdiction of Kentucky. Resolutions were
passed, requesting Governor Magoffin to give pro
per protection to citizens of that section against
the repetition of similar outrages up.*ti the rights
of liberty and proper!; , arid the neutrality of the
State, and announcing that if the Goverfloy refuse
or /ail to give protection, they calL on Tennessee
and the Confederate Stutes.
The information is further given that Governor
Magoffin had responded, by telegraph, to the
resolutions, assuring them that he would give all
the aid in his power, and instructing Dr. J. M.
Johnson, senator from the Paducah district, to
visit Cairo, and demand from General Prentiss
by what authority the arrest and capture were
made, and to report to him immediately.
This is an important move, apd will bring the
“ rugged issue” of violated neutrality to the test
in Kentucky. We trust that it maybe followed
by a proclamation from Gov. Magoffin similur to
the one issued by the gallant Jackson, of Missouri,
summoning the people of the {State to arms.

Stampede Among the Printers at Nashville.
—The Nashville Gazette of the 21at says :
We understand that a number of northern prin
ters engaged at the Methodist Publishing House,
in this city, threw up their situations yesterday,
and leave to day for the other side of Mason A
Dixon’s line. The proclamation of President Da
vis has shown them up in their true light. Since
its publication they have been seen in groups up
on our street corners, evidently consulting in re
gard tc sudden movements. They have been
holding good situations for several years past,
contributing, no doubt, lately a portion of their
wages to assist in subjugating the people who
have fed them, acting too, probably, as spies in
ovr midst, communicating such intelligence as
has recently been seen in the northern papers un
der the head of “Nashville Correspondence.” Let
us feel thankful that the proper means have beea
adopted to rid the cities of the South of such vara
pires.
Spoils of the Battle Field.—lt will be seen
by the following special order that Gen. Beaure
gard is determined to enforce tbe return of arti
cles taken from the field of buttle :
The General Commanding lias learned with
regret, that after the briliisut victory achieved
through the gallantry of the Confederate troops
on the 21st ultimo, that arms, supplies, and inu
tionsof wnr, have been appropriated by the inhabi
tants of the surrouoding country, not attached to
the army, whereby toe Government suffers mate
rial loss iu its ability to piosecute the war with
such vigor as will drive the invaders from Virginia
soil. The General cannot but believe that such
acts have been done through ignorunce, that all
such articles are the property ol the Government.
It is therefore ordered :
1. That all arms, horses, wugous, harness, mu
nitious ot war, find supples anu stores of aH de
scriptions, so appropriated, shall be delivered to
the nearest commanding officer.
2. That each commanding officer, upon the re
ceipt of such public property, shall forthwith de
liver the same to the Quartermaster at Manassas
Junction.
8. That such persons as fail to comply with this
order shall be dealt with in the most prompt and
summary manner.
By order of Gen. Beauregard.

Kentucky and Tennessee.— The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes :
On the 20th of September the Legislature of
Kentucky will meet, aud will embrace a two-thirds
majority of Union men in both brauches. They
will at once proceed to depose Governor Magoffin,
and to deal with the United States Senators
Powell aud Breckinridge. They are much in
censed at the neglect of the .United States Senate
to pass a bill legislating Judge Monroe out of office.
Arms will now be conveyed without diffictilU
to East Teunessee. Should the forces under Gen.
Pillow and others attempt to pass through Ken
tucky on their way to attack Cairo or St. Louis,
there will be hot work on the old “bloody ground.”

Meeting to Consider About Deposing the
President. —The Boston Courier, asserts posi
tively that a meeting of Republicans was held in
New 1 ork Cty, in April last, at which the ques
tion of the overthrow of President Lincoln was
discussed. The idea was to oast Lincoln by vio
lence, and establish a Provisional Government.
Tbe meeting went so far as to name the man who
was to supersede the President, and they deputed
one of the party of editors to feei the public pulse.
Our readers will recollect we referred, at the time,
to the rtieie of the New York Times, which
tbreateued the President with deposition, on the
ground of imbecility and untitued- for the great
exigency tbe country was in. Some late events
are mukiug the fact lhat such a meeting of Repub
i licans was held a matter of some importance. It
j was the resort of a set of desperate Republican
politicians, and should have merited the deepest
indignation of tbe American people, but received,
i in fact, little notice or little censure.
rijv. utuiu*, LDpitti-t** bad Ui-KukuU
of the Privateer Jell. UsHs.
We had extreme pleasure yesterday of a conver
sation with Mr. F. C. Duirieux, one of the gal
lant crew ot the bold Privateer, who arrived in
this city bytde Savannah Kail Road on Saturday
evening.
He kindly jumishes us with the following inter
esting account ot the departure of tbe Jeff. Davis
from this port and her subsequent career and ad
ventures.
Gn the night of the 2Stb of June tbe Jeff*. Da
vis was towed through Maffitt’s channel cut of
Charleston harbor by the steamer Gen. Clinch. —
They had lignts stationed in the channel on both
sides.and it was feared at one time tbe blockading
squadron would detect their movements. They
fortunately got clear, however, and made their es
cape without any difficulty. When well outside
the bar they observed tbe inau-of war vessels ex
changing signals. They had a fair wind, aud in
a very short time passed out to sea, close ou Rat- I
tie Snake Hhoals.
In making their course Northward they espied
a large ship, beiDg of a doubtful and uncertain
character aud night coming cn she was not fired
at. This vessel afterwards falsely reported at i
New York that she bad been chased three days 1
by a privateer. The next vessel spokeu was a
brig from Baltimore bound to Porto Rico. Un
der their instructions she was not molested. The
brig Mary Worthington was soon after boarded, i
Hhe exhibited, however, a British register, and
although it was evideut that it was a late transfer, !
they felt bound to let her proceed.
Saturday, July 6.—A sail was discovered which
proved to be the brig John Welch. The privateer j
hoisted the French flag aud the brig believing her
to be a French vessel that had lost her way, un- |
mediately name up to give the latitude and* longi
tude. The men on board the Jeff. Dnvis were or
dered to keep below. When close enough, one
of the long toms belched forth for the brig to
heave to, which obejed, aud the officers and part
of the crew of the John Welch were soon trans
ferred to the Jeff. Davis as prisoners. A prze
crew was placed ou board the brig aud the vessel
ordered to a Southern port. The vessel aud cargo j
arrived safely.
The same evening they fell in with the schooner i
Enchantress, which also came up to the French
man to give the longitude and latitude. She was j
taken, her crew made pris mers, aud a prize crew !
placed on board the captorea vessel. The En
chantress was afterwards recaptured.
The following day, while iue privateeer was un
der a close press ot canvas, a sail was discovered
astern, which kept closing up with them. At 12
o’clock the vessel had got near enough to warn
her to heave to. Hhe was greeted w ith a shot
across the bows, and soon reported herself as the
schoouer S. J. Waring of New York. A prize
crew was pur ou board, aud the vet'Sel headed for
the South. This vessel was recaptured after
wards and arrived at New York
The next spoken was the ship Mary
Goodull, ot New York, was board.d, but
being of very heavy draft, and her cargo of no
importance, she was let go, utter having transfer
red to her a nutnoer,of prisoners. It was found
impossible to keep on board the privateer the
very large number of prisoners captured—hence
necessity lor the above step.
Whilst making the transfer of prisoners, a small
brig hove in sight, aud came up towards them
not knowing the character ot the privateer. She
was brought to, and found to be loaded with lum
ber. Being a prize of no value, the Captain at
ffrst determined to burn her. Home more prison
ers, however, were put ou board of her aud the
vessel allowed to proceed. This was the brig
Thompson,Jfrom Westport, .Mo., bound to Antigua.
She afterwards returned to Newport, Rhode
Island.
On Sunday, the 10th, they fell in with the bark
Alvarado, of Cape Cod, from the East Indies,
bound to Boston, with a valuable cargo. The
Captain of this vessel had his wife w’iib him. She
was taken aud sent off* with a prize crew iu a
Southern direction. [An account ot the destruc
tion of this vessel has already been published iu
the Courier.]
The Jeff Davis then sailed for Porto Rico, and
arrived at that point on Friday, the kith of July.
She remuiued in port until Monday.
On Sunday, August 2d, she espied a schooner
and gave chase. The privateer, when close
enough, lowered her small boats and boarded the
vessel. She was found to be a vessel with u car
go of sail. As this was esteemed of no value, the
proposition was made to burn and sink her. Just
at that moment the Santa Clara hove iu sight,
and bore immediately down upon them. She was
captured with her cargo ot sugar and molasses. •
The prisoners were theu transferred to tbe salt
vessel aud the latter turned adrilt. She Santa
Clara has recently arrived safely at Savannah.
Another brig was eszied a few days afterwards,
two of the small boats lowered, armed and well
manned, aud with muffled oars they succeeded in
reaching her. She was discovered to boa British
vessel and was allowed to proceed unmolested.
On Sunday, the 9th inst., haviug.no more prize
masters on board and the brig proving a dull
sailer, the Captain determined to make sail for
home.
When about 800 miles east of Cape Florida they
came in contact with the ship John Crawford,
Capt. Edge, from Philadelphia, bound to Key
West, with arms and coal for the United States
troops. She waa found to draw 22 feet of water
und could not possibly be brought in. The offi
cers aud crew, numbering in all 22 persons, were
taken ou board the privateer, the vessel filed and
holes bored in her sides aud bottom. This about
4 o’clock iu the morning and by good daylight
the ship was wrapped in names, {>hoit
ly afterwards, it was found impossible to‘pro
cure any of tbe arms, as they were stowed under
the coal.
They then turned their course, with a light
wind, for St. Augustine, Fla. Upon nearing the
coast the wind increased, until finally it blew’ a
perfect gale. The vessel had crossed the Gulf
safely, ami on Friday night, the loth, they hove
to and found themsel.es \n 16 fathoms water. At
daylight land was discovered and a clear coast. —
They were then about ten miles south of Matan
zas. Squared away and made for Ht. Augustine
bar. Found the tide 100 low upon their arrival,
aud stood off’.
The Captain hoisted the Confederate flag at the
fore topguSlant mast and tiled a gun us a signal
fora pilot. Three attempts were made to get
iuio tbe harbor, but it was found they could not
weather it. The people ou shore kept it light
burning for them, as was afterwards discovered,
but which the privateers did not observe or were
unable to see. The vessel kept w orking up to the
windward through the night, and at daylight
they discovered themselves ten miles from ihe
bar.
The flag was again hoisted, aud a pilot was ob
sei vet? coming to wards the brig aud giving the
usual signals. In attempting to cross the bar,
however, the brig grounded on the North Break
ers. This was about half past six o’clock Sunday
morning, the 17th inst. A small boat W’as sent
ashore w ith Dr. Babcock and Lieut. Baya, and the
prisoners lauded. The officers and crew of the
privateer theu went ashore, und were greeted
with the most enthusiastic demonstrations by the
inhabitants. About half past uiue two- light boats
went off’ to the brig along with Captain Cox
etter aud other officers. The starboard guns
were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel, in
order lo clear her decks of water, and save as
much as possible of the supplies on board the
brig.
Every effort was made to save everything then
on board, but it is supposed that ihe guDs thrown
overboard stove her iu and caused her to bilge.
The light boats, howervef, were filled with a large
amount of provisions and baggage, and finally
succeeded in saving all thermal! arms on board.
About 2 o’clock all hands had left and were
conveyed to St. Augustine.
The ladies threw open their houses and they
were received with etneps upon cheers. Cheers
w ere given for the Jeff. Davis, for the Southern
Confederacy, and tbe utmost hilarity and re
joicing for the safe arrival of the privateers was
manifested, while there they were sumptuously
provided for, and furnished with every comfort
that could possibly be devisud.
They learned afterwards tliut thorp had beeu
considerable excitement in the town on the ap
pearance ot the Jeff. Davis, it having been sus
pected that she was u Yankee cruiser in disguise,
and had hoisted the Confederate flag to deceive
or decoy some of the vessels from the shore. The
prisoners were also treated very kindly, and sup
plied with everything comfortable.
Before our informant left, Capt. Coxetter had
again returned to the wreck and succeeded in
saving an additional amount of provisions and
some of the sails.
Every effort was made by Capt. Coxetter to se
cure as much as possible for the stockholders.
The brig is a total loss. But a small piece of her
bow was remaining on Thursday morning, when
our informant left, and it was then thought that
she would go to pieces before daylight. The crew
of the privateer left for this port on Monday last,
but lost the connecting boat at Toccoa and were
delayed at Fernandina. It is thought they will
arrive here this evening.
Our informant took the cars from Jacksonville,
Fla., to Monticello, from thence to Savanna!;. He
says that the ladies of St. Augustine were par
ticularly warm in their reception of Capt. Coxet
ter, and gave him a parting testimonial of their
respect and esteem for his gallant exploits. They
also him with a serenade on their
own guitars, accordeons, Ac. ,
► We hope the brave Captain will receiffe from
our cit'zens seme fitting token for the nit ri otic
and glorious deeds that has sent such thrills of
joy into every Southern bosom, and filled every
Yankee heart with terror of this bold privateer.
We are glad to learu that there will soon be
another Jeff'. Davis afloat, and that the same
brave crew are anxious to again go forth to
avenge th<? death of Amiel, and make up for any
short comings of their first adventures.—Charles
ton Courier, 2M.
He Could not Run Well! —A friend hands us
the following passage from the letter of a fair
lady, who writes from New Haven, Ct., under a
very recent date :
“Quite an amusing incident occurred here last
Tuesday. The authorities called a meeting of all
those who were not subject to military duty, to
come up and make their excuses. Oue Irishman,
among those who were called, gave as bis excuse
that be “could not run. 11 It is needless to say
that the poor Irishman was excused, us running
is the order of the day among the Northern
troops since the 21st of July.”
A Mistake.— The Northern papers say :
The newspaper story, alleging that Commander
William D. Porter, U. S. Navy, is on his way
home (from the Pacific side) in irons, by order of
the Navy Department, is untrue. On the publi
cation of his letter, encouraging his son to fight
iu the oligarch’s army, orders were sent to tue
commander of the Pacific squadron to take from
him the command of the sioop-of war of which he
was in charge, and to hand him his dismissal
from the service, sent to ths Commodore’s care at
the same time.
Don’t Want to Enlist. —We copy the following
paragraph from the Pittsburg Dispatch of the
19th iust. :
Both tbe Wheeling papers speak of dilatonness
among the Union men in Western Virginia in en
listing, aud suggests, as a stimulant to volunteers,
that Gov. Pieipont is determined to call for a
draft, unless the regiments are more rapidly filled
of volunteers. We have all along thought that
the Union men in portions of W estern Virginia
were too willing to let us do the fighting for them
while they do the talking.
Hard on the Soldiers—The Washington Star
gives the Yankee soldiers the following in.creat
ing information :
Every soldier who loses hia gun, whether in
cowardly throwing it away on the field of battle,
or through neglect, is to have twelve dollars, tbe
price of the gun, deducted from hia pay. This
will show the men that guns are no toys, to be
thrown away whenever it is inoonvenient to carry
them.
Magoffin Still Governor or Kentucky. —lt
is believed that a part of the Lincoln programme
is to depose Gov. Magoffin by the Legislature
just chosen in Kentucky, Gov. M. not being in
the interest of the conspirators against the liber
ties of hia State. We are pleased to announce,
however, on the authority ot the Louisville
Courier, that the traitors have net secured tbe
Constitutional majority in the Kentucky Legisla
ture—two-thirds of the Senate being necessary to
remove a Governor ; and the number of their
Senators chosen being only H out ot 83, two short
of the requisite number— Jtickmoad Enquirer.
Military Resources or the Cgnfederaoy.—
We learn that Congress has made a call upon the
Governors of all the States ol the Confederacy lor
ihe number and description ot small arms now in
their possession, and also of those sent out of tbe
States and their destination. The Governors ot
me respective States are also earnestly requested
to give information forthwith, of the number of’
Regiments in their States formed, or iu process of
i formation, but not vet reoeived into the service o/t
; the Confederate States. The collection under
authentic circumstances of these particulars, is ol
! the highest public importance io give the Govern
mem here information of the military resources
.of the country. The Governors will make the
! communications requested of them to the Chief of
j Ordnance, in Richmond.— Richmond Examiner.
Moaa Lincoln Guxs-A Bridge on the Coving
ton AND Lexington Load Buent.—Wc learn that
another lot of Lincoln’s guns, some twenty boxes,
passed over the railroad from Covington, on Wed
; uesdav eight, cn route , probably, for Gurrard co.
and East Tennessee.
We also learn that one of the bridges an the
road was subsequently destroyed by fire, and the
regular passage of the trains was of course delay
ed! A change of cars had to be made at that
i point.
The bridge may have been burnt by accident,
but it was reported that it was the work of the
people along the iiue of the road, who have be
come exasperated at the Lincoluites who are try
iug to set the neutrality of Kentucky at <!i tiaoce,
and inaugurate civil war in our midst. Tin* bridge
destroyed is at Kobiuson’s station, in Harrison
county.— LouitniU Courier .
Aeiikst on the Charge ok The a>ox.—Before the
breakiag out of actual hostilities between the U.
Slates and the Confederate States, and before in
tercourse between the two sections bad been in
terdicted, several busiuess houses of Baltimore f
had removed their stocks of goods to Richmond,
lor reasons satisfactory to themselves. Among
them was the dry goods house of Lauier, Broth
ers A Cos. We are informed they brought
their goods Either by the way of Washington, aud
were not obstructed. One of the firm, Mr. L. L. ,
Lanier, returned to Baltimore a few days ago, and
on Tuesday last was arrested by Lincoln’s police
on the charge oftreason, iu having furnished “aid
and comfort to the ectmy !” These tacts we
learn from the Baltimore Suu, which paper also
announces the arrest of Mr. J. W. Seloy of the
same firm, by order of Gen. Banks, at Sandy
Hook, Md. The Baltimore Exchange, of Thurs
day, contradicts the arrest of Mr. Lanier, byt the
Sun of the same date reiterates its previous state
ment, that he was arrested aud’sent to the Fort.
We are uuable to say which is correct, but we
suppose the frieuds of Mr. Lanier in ibis city are
in possession of the facts.— Richmond Vi\>atck. j

j Affairs on thf. Potomac.—The steamer Batti
i more (says the Washington Star-of Tuesday eve
! uiug,) came up from Old Point'last night,‘where
; had been detained by bud weather, briogiug
, in tow eleven fine ship’s launches; four of which
| were at once fitted out, each with a twelve pound
I. boat howitzer, and marines, aud towed dowu to
! the fleet by the Baltimore. To-day workmen are
rapidly fitliug up the remaining seven in the same
; style, and these will doubtless go dowu to-Dight.
| The Baltimore reports ull quiet down the river
and at Old Point. Last Friduy morning the U. S.

from Boston, where she had been undergoing re
pairs.
Damage by the Lath Heavy Rains —A planter
iuforms us that not only tbo squares and blooms’
but many young bolls, are failing from the cottou
plant. The extraordinary raius that have fallen
during the last two weeks have certainly greatly
curtailed the amount of cotton that would othur
wise have been gathered in September, and proba
bly have materially injured the general crop.
Another loss—aud a very considerable one—is
that of the fodder crop. The rainy season caught
most farmers pulling their fodder,’ and lusted so
long that those who had not pulled cannot now
gather good provender. The scarcity of both
corn and fodder the present year has compelled
farmers to use most of their oats and other early
provender, and the loss of the fodder now cannot
bo to any extent supplied, as heretofore, by 1
Northern aud Western hay. A friend suggests
as a partial remedy, that every planter save plenty
of millet seed ami plant it next spring for early
feed. When only a few inches high it cun be cut,
aud will continue to grow lust and luxuriantly
though cut at intervals throughout the seasou.
We would add to this a suggestion heretofore
made, that every farmer save the crub gruss this
fall. It is already growing very fast since the
rains, aud will be abundant and luxuriant. A
gentleman who fed with it last veur informs us
that be prefers it to fodder or Northern hay as
food for horses, und its excellence ns proveuder
for cattle is attested by many. There will certain
ly be enough to mah.e up four fold for the loss of |
fodder, aud it can be gathered by those capable 1
of doing but little other service in the field than 1
the gathering of grass or cotto j.— Columbus Kn
quiver, 9Mth..
A Singular Wound. —lt is stated that the sur
geon of the hospital ut. Alexandria reports a sin
gular case of . ufTering under his charge. A pri
vate, engaged in the battle of Bull Run, had a
canuon ball pass bis facer without touching him.—
He felt a strong concussion ot the air on his face
as it whistled past; but, regaining his equ.librium
he continued in his place until after the engage
ment, suffering severely, however, with pain.—
His cheek soon presented a swollen appearance,
with increase of paiu. ile was conveyed to the
hospital and kept under proper treatment, but
the surgeons have had great difficulty in prevent
ing mortification of the parts affected. Expe
rienced army officers say that deaths frequently
ococur from balls passing without striking the
victim. •
Exchange of Prisoners.—lt is stated that
President Lincolu has received five different pe
titions, signed by the Bull Run prisoners at Rich
mond, praying that some measures might be tak
en for iheir release or exchange. One of them
was signed exclusively by the married men aDd
heads of families, amounting to 413. It begged
that they might be exchanged, iu order that they
might return home to provide for their families,
whom, they alleged, were suffering. Another
was from the three months voluuteers, whose
time has expired. The President read them all,
and then passed them to Mr. Blair, who filed them
carefully away.
Skirmish in the Kanawha.—The Ohio State
Journal, of Monday, says :
By a special dispatch from General Cox to Gov
ernor Denisou, from Gauley Bridge via Gallipolis,
dated the 17th, wo learn that our advauced guard,
the 11th Regiment, had a skirmish with the eue
my’s outposts near Big Sewell mountain, 23 miles
iu advauce of Gauley Bridge, the day before, in
which five of the rebels were killed‘and several
wounded, cur men had three slightly wounded.
Disgraceful Affray among Soldiers.— The
Savannah Republican, lias the following :
Charleston, August 20. —A passenger by la9t
night’s train from Augusta, gives the particulars
of a disgraceful affray at Hraucbvilie between
some of the soldiers woo cam 3 on the train. The
difficulty was renewed after leaving Brauchville ;
pistols and knives were drawn, greatly to the
terror of the passengers. It tiuallv ended about
two o’clock this morning by the supposed killing
of a man believed to be named Barton Hicks, and
wounding several others. Arrests were made on
the arrival of the train at Summerville.
[Special luir\g to the New York Times , Aug. 11.]
lYince Napoleon’s experience at Manassas was
not such as to create a very favorable opiuion of
the rebels or their cause. Ilis opinion’ot the rebel
commander he expresses as follows: 44 Gen.
Beauregard has very much show, much pomp,
many people ruu after him with much noise. I
buve not a very high appreciation of hmi as a
military tmtn, but he is very much of a gentleman.
Geueral Johnson is a very quiet and unassuming
man, but brave, and, I think, a tine officer. You
can tell that by !:is looks; but my impression of
the troops is very bad.”
The New York Express, in an ai tide on the of
ficial report of the battle of Manassas, remarks :
The more we hear of the conduct of some of
our officers and men at Bull Run, the more we are
inclined to let the curtain drop on the whole af
fair, and cry out with the Thane of Cawdor,
“Bring in no more reports.” * * * *
With disclosure of this discreditable character
crowding upon us, we think the reader will sym
pathize with the wish we have already expressed
that Bull Run should drop as soon as possible in
to oblivion. The country has heard enough of it.
“Bring in no more icports.”
An Awful .Spell.—\\ lien the legislative hall,
at Concord, New Hampshire, was cleared of rub
bish after adjournment, we learn that there was
found in the desk of one of the members a letter,
which closed with this injunction, “Janeses get
her a 24 hoop shelling ton.”
The Blockade at Loosville. — We have before
us a letter dated at Nashville, Aug. 16th, from a
large mercantile house, which says : *
‘‘The blockade of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad is more effectual than ever ; several of
our merchants have had their goods seized and
taken buck to Louisville. Our authorities are
talking of prohibiting goods from cominft into the
State from Kentucky—thus making that State feel
the effects of the blockade as much or more than
ours.— Atlanta Confederacy
Tne following is from the London letter—dated
26th July—of the New York Aews :
Just as I am closing I am told that the South
ern Commissioners sent from here a month ago
a complete battery of Armstrong, and one of the
Whitworth cannon, probably tor New Orleans,
and that the have actually secured the construc
tion of a steel-clad steam frigate of the largest
class in a port of Northern Europe. The} pay,
too, it is-said in eash. This certainly looks like
earnest work.
Rather Close.—A Yankeee rifleman in the late j
tight seeing a cannon ball bury in a bank near ;
him, sprang to tbe hole it had made saying, |
“Shoot away : you can’t hit twice in the same 1
place.” lusiantly another shot struck a few feet i
distaut, covering the fellow with sand and gravel, j
Emerging from his new quarters, he continued I
the unfinished sentence,” but yon came so pesky i
near it that the first bole is uncomfortable.’’
The “Benicia Boy” in an Illinois Court.— lt
appears that the domestic difficulties of the Beui
cia Boy are uot yet settled to the satisfaction of
ail parties concerned. Wo find an official notice
in the Woodstock Sentinel, of the 7th instant,
directing his wife, Adah Isaacs Menken Heeuao,
to appear at the October term of the court of Mc-
Henry country, Illinois, to show why.the “Boy”
is not entitled to a decree of divorce.”
Id referring to the demand for lead in the
South, the Little Rock True Democrat says there
are excellent lead mines in Arkansas, some bo
rich that hunters have mounted bullets directly
from tbe ore. There are lead mines in the vicini
ty of Little Rock capable of yielding enough lead
to supply the Confederacy. Will not some en*
terprioing person or persons take this matter iuto
consideration and have these mines worked?
Arrival of Officers. —Tbe following rre the
names of tbe U. S. officers who arrived in the schr.
AUaline at Femandiua, some days ago, after re
signing their commissions :
Cant. R. B. Garnett, Sixth U. S. Infantry.
S. W. Averett, Midshipman on board the Wy
oming.
G. 1). Lining. 2d Assist an 4 Engineer on board
the Wyoming?— Bavh. Rep., 21.
A Galla .t Arkansas Youth.— Benjamin S.
Johnson, sou of Robert W, Johnson, of Arkansas,
wa 3 engaged in the recent cattle of Oak Hill, near
Springfield, Mo., upon which occaaieo he served
as volunteer aid de-camp to Gen McCulloch.
Though less thaD eighteen years “f age, be behav
ed with great gallantry and coolness, and bad a
horse killed under him”during the action.
Success of the Cotton Loan.— The Confeder
ate Government, it is believed, will have in its
possession by the first of September certificates
of transfer to tbe amount of 1,000,000 bales of cot
ton of the growing crops, for which Confederate
bonds are to be exchanged. The price regulating
the exchange is to be the minimum value of cot
ton during the last three years. On these certifi
cates of transfer it is said offers have been made
by British capitalists to advance 80 per cent, in
sterling exchange, taking as a basis of the pur
chase the average price of cotton dur ng the past
few years.
The planters of Chicot, the wealthiest cotton
county in the rftate of Arkansas, have determined
almost to a iran, to keep their cottoD at home this
fall until the blockade of the southern ports is
raised. They further more declare tneir intention
to 1 burn every bale of it before itshall fall foto tbe
possession of the invading Liucolnites. Tbie is
the right spirit, and ought to prevail throughout
tbe South.
The New York Herald, of Saturday, says :
“Treason is rampant in Washington, and there is
no denying the fact, humiUating and ungrateful
as it may be to the loyal citizens of the Union.”
Tbe Herald then gives an enumeration of 143
“known secessionists,” and” 76 ‘Suspected,” in
tbe different departments.

THE CRISIS IN KENTUCKY.
Louisville, August 23.—The crisis in Kentucky
is probably reached. Eighty armed men left here
this morning, as a posse for the Collector, in a
special train, to capture nine wagons loaded with
Contraband on tho Rocky Fork. They left the
maiu line at the Lebanon Junction, aud captured
the train. At the latest advices the captured
wagons were cut off, and persons interested in
the adventure are said to consider the property
gate. The Lebanon Brauch train did not reach
the Junction, it is supposed, in consequence of
the track having been destroyed.
Latlr—The Collector’s posse have returned
with the plunder. A printer by the name of Mc-
Carty was killed by accidentally falling from the
train. Only one rail was pulled up on the Leba
non brauch. The plunder filled twenty-five freight
cars.
