FURTHER FROM PENSACOLA.
Mobile, Oet. 10.
A dispatch to the Advertiser & Register, from
Pensacola the oth, says: Lieut Slaughter, bearer
ofaflagof truce, has been released. Walter
Tuggle, (not Bugler) easier, hopes are entertain
ed of his recovery; Burgess is still alive; the 29
that were wounded are in the Ladies Hospital,
and are receiving every attention.
Gen Bragg witnessed the fight from his head
quarters, and was much pleased.
Nashville, Oct. 10.
Passengers arrived to-day, report that Capt.
John II Morgan, with 27 men, had a skirmish
with the Lincolinites, SO strong, at Nolin on-the
Louisville road beyond Green river, on the 7th,
killing 14. Morgan’s loss is two. The Lincoln
ites fled.
The West Aqain3T the East. —The Missou
ri papers are indignant, the Illinois papers are
abusive, and combine to showor down wrath
and reproach on the Eastern States of the Fed
eral Union, and on the devoted head of Abra
ham Lincoln, and the men whom God in his
justice has placed around him. The great
cause of the outcry is the ordering of five regi
ments from Missouri to Washington. “It is a
burning shame,” cries the Chicago Tribune of
Sept. 19th ult., “that New York, New England
and New Jersey cannot defend the capital with
out stripping the army of the West of five thou
sand men.”
A. P. Rudler, who was taken prisoner while
under Gen. Walker’s command, has been elected
Captain of the Baker Volunteers, an Augusta
Company.
Life in Fort LaFayette.
The New York Evening Post describes life in
the Fort as follows:
The place i3 not so much a prison as it is a
somewhat “exclusive” boarding house, with suf
ficiently stringent rules for the eighty or less
boarder.- in the establishment. These rules are
conspicuously placed on the walls of each room,
so that he who runs may read, and the .facilities
for reading are somewhat in advance of those
for running. They prescribe that the prisoners
rooms must be ready for inspection at nine
o’clock in the morning; that washing must be
done in the yard of the fort; prisoners must not
talk with acy member of the garrison, but can
communicate their wants to the sergeant of the
guard; they must not leave their rooms unless in
company with a guard, they mu3t obey implie
itly the directions of any member of the guard;
and they are notified that any t ansgres&ion will
be punished by solitary confinement, or such
other restrictions as may be necessary to a strict
enforcement of the rules.
There is nothing specially stringent about these
rules. The prisoners must and must not do cer
tain things, but they are allowed many privi
leges. Those who are together in one room can
converse freely with each other, but they are no
tified that they must not talk about the politi
cal affairs of the country in the hearing any
member of the garrison. They can have light
in their rooms until quarter past nine o’clock,
and after that hour noise and loud talking must
cease for the night. For an hour in the morn
ing and afternoon the prisoners can promenade
about the premises in company with a guard,
and at Euch times can call on their friends and
fellow prisoners in tho other rooms. The doors
of the rooms are opened at 5 a. m. and closed at
5 p. m. It may be stated that the prisoners gen
erally appreciate their privileges, and that there
have been no infringements of the rules suffi
cient to merit punishment.
At Fort Lafayette, as elsewhere, “money,” as
Falstaff says, “is a good soldier.” Those who
have the means of doing so can live nearly as
well at Fort LaFayette a3 any hotel. In one
large room, which is about sixty by fifteen feet,
there are no less than thirty of the better class
prisoners who have both friends and money.—
These have clubbed together, and have arrange
ments by which their meals are furnished to
order. Their funds are deposited with one of the
officers, who acts as bursar, and the wife of one
of the soldiers does their catering, cooking and
washing. To meet outside bills for food, sup
plies, newspapers, tobaoco and other comforts,
the prisoners give an order on the bursar. The
club m&n get a good breakfast and dinner,(with
a moderate,, allowance at dinner ;'of some stim
ulant,) at a cost of about one dollar a day for
each. They are subject to no extortion of any
kind, and supplies are furnished at moderate
rates.
In the morning, when the Coney Island boat
or first train, from Brooklyn, arrives at Fort
Hamilton, the prisoners who have made 7 ar
rangements can get all the city morningpapers,
and are thus daily informed of affairs in the
outside world. Ther correspondence only is
subject to censorship, and, as already been
stated, letters written to or by the prisoners
are opened and read by the proper officers, and
the few persons who have been released from
custody have been forbidden to carry away
any written communication.
The club men live well. They pass their
time in reading, discussing (among them
selves) matters and things in general and
“the situation” in particular, and play cards,
chess and checkers by the hour. Tobacco is
not tabooed, and the club, for a large part of
the day, is under a cloud in more senses than
one.
Similar but smaller clubs have been organi
zed in some of the other rooms. There are a
few prisoners, some of the sailors and others,
who have no money, and are consequently de
pendent upon the authorities for their daily
bread. These are furnished with good and
wholesome, but plain food, differing but little
from the rations of the soldiers who are their
keepers. All have an unlimited lookout view
of the bay and Staten Island shore. The pass
ing ships and stumers break the monotony of
an otherwise wpvy day. The three daily

trips of the Coney Island boats, are looked for
events.
There can be one opinion only of the con
duct ot Col. Burke and his officers and men
towards the prisoners in their charge. The
prisoners are allowed every privilege con
sistent with their safe keeping, and have no
reasonable cause for complaint. The loss of
liberty is, of course, the main privation, but
those prisoners who have been discharged,
testily that, so far trom the imposition of any
unnecessary restrictions, they were more fa
voured during their incarceration than they
had any reason to expect when they were
sent to Fort Lafayette.
Changed Appearance of Washington.,. “War’s Deiasfa*
tions” in the Capital.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, writes:
This city, as all may know, has gradually come
to present peculiar features under a state of war,
which our citizens could not have, a year ago,’
imagined. IV e had all so long been accustom
ed to the sight of improvement and progress in
the streets, avenues and squares, in the extension
and erection of public buildings, construction of
water works, <fcc., under liberal congressional ap
propriations, that we dreamed not of any early
necessity for the suspension of these things.
Not only are the improvements of the character
mostly suspended long ago, but costly buildings
and highly ornamented grounds have had to be
devoted to uses widely different from those they
were designed for, with tho view ot sustaining
the great army which has been oollected here for]
in its turn, sustaining the national unity and
Government. The public buildings, are, however,
no longer used for the quartering of troops, as
was found absolutely necessary when, five or six
months ago, they were first hurriedly gathering
to the defense of the capital. Vast and comfor
table camps, in pleasant rural sections surround
ing the city, and in the extended and well en
trenched positions on the opposite side of the
Potomac have obviated that matter, affording not
only picturesque scenes, but also facilities for
rendering each military arm effective by drill,
camp life, picket duty, <fco.
Yet the great capitol building, in which the
representatives of the people assemble for legisla
tion, and that august body, the Supreme Court
holds its sittings from time to time, is now but a
monstrous bakery, so far as its oavernous base
ment is concerned. There great ovens, fourteen
in number; have been constructed, from whence
bread for the array on all sides goes out by wag
on loads in fresh loaves, day after day, and al
most hour by hour. I believe you have copied
from a cotemporary some notices of this estab
lishment heretofore, but I would now it
is under the supervision of Lieut. Thos. J. Cate,
of the 16th Infantry, U. S. A.—that there are
used every twenty-four hours 24 bushels of pota
toes for yeast, 24(1 barrels of flour and 1,400 gaU
lons of yeast —turniug out about 60,000 loaves
of bread, and one hundred and fifty men are em
ployed at a cost of about $5,600 a month.
In the post office building also are other great
stores for the army, in charge of Capt. Beckwith,
from whence are issued, on requisitions, the cof
fee, rice, sugar, Ac., hauled away by teams to
the different regiments. There are immense arihy
bakeries over the river, also, for the troops on
that side.
But “war’s devastations,” especially, are ob
observeable in some of the public grounds. The
extensive National Monument grounds, lying be
tween the canal and river, have been of late date
but a cattle yard, as it were. There the cattle
keepers now attend their herds, which have, du
ring the past season, luxuriated in the riohest
pasture, producing the finest beef. Hera busi
ness, as in the other is careiully
and systematically discharged—the cattle coun
ted and transferred from one field to another each
day, water provided, Ac. The stock is well kept
up, notwithstanding the large daily consumption
and in the squares named the number now seems
greater than ever. About 150 fat cattle are
slaughtered for the troops daily.
These things I have noted indicate the change
in the mere material appearance here, conse
quent upon (he state of war.
As Incident of Manassas. —Lieut. Ed. Hull,
the son of the lion. Asbury Hull, of Athens,
was struck senseless by the concussion of a frag
ment of shell which tore away his Cartridge box
and belt without actually inflicting a wound.
As the enemy passed he revived, and being ask
ec(.by a hostile Captain if he has wounded, he
replied, “I think not,” tho' he was unable to
rise. The Lineolnite run his hand over the body
of the apparently helpless man and, discovering
no wound advised him to remain where he was
until aid could be sent to him ; but Lieut. Hull
finding himself recovering, rose and began to
convey water from the stream near by to the
numerous wounded around him. This he dis,
until night with much pain to himself; and while
he was so engaged, a man on horseback request
ed a drink, “No,” says Lieut. Hull. “I am car
rying this water to those who cannot walk, you
can walk, and you may go to the branch and
help yourself.”
To his surprise someone told him he was speak
ing to President Davis ; ana then he insisted up
on the President’s drinking the water in his can
teen.
Afterwards, when walking the streets of P.icb
mond, as he was recovering, for he endured a
long t and painful spell of illness, he was met bv
President Davis, who smilingly recognized him
and asked to what regiment he belonged.
“To the Bth Ga. regiment.”
“To belong to that regiment is glory
was the gallant President’s reply.
Y hile carrying water to the wounded, Lieut.
Hull, found Capt J. F. Cooper seated|near Bull
Run stream pouring water on his knee, and was
the first to cut open his paht.B and examine the
wound that resulted so fatilly. Capt. Cooper
did not think himself dangerously wounded.—

see, Mr. Editor, that you number the Confederate

good substantial victories at that, to-wit: Big

Lexington, Gauley River, where Rosencrantz
was repulsed by 1,700 men under Floyd, and
Greenbrier, where 6,000 were driven helter skel

another before the sixth month of the war is out,
which will not expire till next Friday.
