The Position of the Armies and the Defertcee of
Washington.
A Washington correspondent of the Cincin
nati flaatte, who appears to he ait intelligent
witness, gives tbo following description of tlm
position occupied by the two armies at Wash
ington :
Our wickets exteftd in an irregular line from a
short distance below Alexandria to tho vicinity
oi Lewinsvllle, about four miles back of the
Chain Bridge. The distance between the ex-
extnwie cutis, following the lines, Is, 1 should
say, from flLeuu to sixteen miles. In a direct
euiirsc It would lm three or four mllcs^ihorter.
At no point do they reach over live miles front
the rlVer. Those, who have observed the shape
of the. Pjotdihkc will notio“ that from Monut
Vernon (eight miles below Alexandria) to Great
Falla, (about the same distance above Chain
Bridge,) It forms almost a half circle, Washing
ton being on thr outride, amt the Virginia shore

The Uiegi' and tho Surrender of Lexbigton.
Tho following account of tlm siege of Lex
ihgton, (says rhe Herald,) la furnished to the St.
Louis Republican, by Henry Broudbm u, one of
Col. Mulligan's soldiers, who left Lox)ngtou on
8atu»i\:»y morning :
Tim tori, was mjtrendered on Friday afternoon.
The. men fd'Ughi foi tifry nine hours withoutwa
ter, ami liad only three hbh. of vinegar to qui-lfch
their thirst. During all that time there were
no springs or wells of water iu the.catup ground,
as has been stated. The supply ol water was en
tirely from the river. There were breastworks
all around Mm camp, with the exception of the
portion next the river. It was he.ro that the
hardest lighting took place.
The rebels procured a large unrulier of ,1m tup' . ..
bales and rollo4 them lo advance, and under this possession of the enemy, excepting
cover gradually Succeed<‘d In seem iug a position southern end from Bally's Cross Roads
iu the rear. They then cut off Lh« supply or wa
ter, and had the. fort surrounded.
They made but few charges upon the breast
works during the entiru siege. Their object
seemed to be to nui round tlm fort and cut otf
the supply of water, and, having succeeded in
Ibis, they waited until Col. Mulligan was com
palled to yield-to a foe more terrible than tho
27/Kio rebels who surrounded him.
After the surrender the rebels mounted the
breastworks and seemed mad with joy anti de
light. After tlm surrender the rebels took
down the Union flag and trailed it iu tho dust.
An itnnmnsfl amount of gold, supposed to be
about a quarter of a million of dollars, fell into
the possession of 'the rebels. It was taken train
the hanks and buried by Col, Mulligan in tlm
camp ground some, lime ago, but. the rebels
speedily din cove red and unearthed it.
Col. Mulligan wept like a child when he round
himself compelled to surrender. The morning
after tim hien were all released on parole and
sent across the river. The office
turned.
The first attack of Mm rebels proved more dis
astrous to them than thclong siege that followed
For a.day or two previous l«> the lost attack they
were busUsuMigaged in burying tlielr dead.
Latent. --Gen.--Brice had, on Saturday. 14th,
given Col. (Acting General) Mulligan until Mon
day to surfeuder, or take the' alternative of bat
th?. The object.d' Geu. Pi-icc»,waa not so much
in giving the. Union troopa a chance to surren
der as to enable Gen. Raines and his rebel forces,
together with a number ot smaller bodies of ma
rauders under Martin Green and others, all of
whom were marching from vnrions sources, i
join him. Price's force must, therefore, has
Deun etilurgrtd to about. 17,000. I n the eommenc

portion of Mils half circle above describe;
Confederate lines diverging Into the river above
and below, thus inclosing us in this crescent,
within a space ot Hay twelve mile* iu leugth, and
from three to five in width. The only recent
changes of importance, in the picket lines, have,
been iu our advihu e ul*ross Chain Bridge, and
the extension of our pickets a little up the riyer
ou that side, 4fttid four miles west to near Lfcw-
iasville. Previous to that, their pickets came in
to the brow of the bill ovt?rlookiug the bridge.
From this point up we occupy only tho Mary
land side of the river, the right, flank of pur
main body, consisting of General Banks’ column,
now renting neat PooUvIlle, jmme iweniy-llvc
miles Jtp, mid facing the left flank ol the enemy
at Lcwburg, on the opposite side of the river.
Thus the I wo armies may he said to he standing
face to face—-ours not yet ready to move, and
theirs apparently prepared to dispute our ad
vance with the first step forward we make.
Tho reader should also bear in tnlud that the
whole Virginia side of the Pdtouiac in this re
gion is of a vervjroilgli and almost mountainous
character, and fa mostly covered w ith a dense
growth of small timber, thickets and under
brush. The roads into the interior, at least, so
far as i have any knowledge, form a gradually
ascending grade over sleep and heilvy hills, cov
ered with Mils species of timber, a comparatively
small portion ol the land only being cleared and
in cultivation. From Alexandria to George
town, inclusive, nearly alt the roadb leading out
terminate at or before rcnchiug the Leesburg
turnpike, which, as will he seen, run* parollcl
with the river, within a few mile* of it, and ull
that is valuable of it now held by the enemy.—
From thence on they dhriinfah in number, grad
ually centering toward Fairfax and Manassas,
and enabling the enemy to coueenlrule as he
falls back, (Should he be compelled to do t,o.—
Ilis linen now cross all these roads, at no point
over five miles from the liver, with, as above
stated, all that la important of the Leesburg

running parallel wub the river—just in the rear,
and affording him the greatest facilities iu shift
ing his forces from one point to another, To
attempt to cut other roads through such a couu-
/try woulu be a work of the greatest difficulty,
if not impossibility, and could tie. easily met and
Mjwafled hy the enemy. From this description
the render may form an idea of the obstacles
that we have to overcome, it the-enemy choose
to bold - tholr present, position, which hucius to
hetbeir purpose.
And now as to our position and defences.
Proceeding to the Olmln Bridge—three miles
above Georgetown—wc titul an earthwork plant
ed immediately facing the end of tho bridge on
this side, arffiwitnln twontyfeetol It. The guns,
uoL yet mounted, will sweep the bridge. At the
entrance of each footpath also stands a small
howitzer for throwing grape, canister, or any
thing else you have a mind to put iu them, and
one discharge from them would make quick
work with all the foot passengers Mist might at
tempt that mode of “crossing the Potomac."—
On the bluff just back is another entrenchment,
and half a mile further up and hack on the sum
mit of the Idll is another, each with several guns
mounted. No force, could possibly approach
the bridge from the oilier side without being in
stantly cut to pieces.
The Virginia shfe here, and, in fact, all the way
from Georgetown! and as far up as you can see,
couaista of a high and rocky bluff, and Hsing al
most perpendicular Irom tue water’s edge, Co
vered with trees and thiekcLs, and UTiuiimtiug
in hills of tlm same character and almost as
steep. The river narrows very rapidly above
Washington, and here I was surprised to find it
only from thirty to forty feet wide, but very deep
and rapid.
Orosslug over tlm roial. winds up to the. right
through a long, steep hill. On the top of this
hill, aud on another a half mile over to tlm left,
fortifications have been-erected, and In n spaco
of time marvellously short, having been com-
nieuCed only a week ago, and now being iu a
state of defence and nearly finished. The former
commands the road (which conilnuos on parallel
with the river,) ami opei^ couuiry adjoining it
lor, say a mile and a half, or as far as visible.—
This fa the only road that comes into the bridge.
Back of it and in tlm down river direction from
the forts, there is but a email open space, which
is enclosed by the dense forests common to the
whole couiflry. Our pickets go out this road about
four miles towards Lowinsville. So-dlh and west
of this village a few miles, uru Falls Church and
Vienna, one on and the othhr near Mm Lce*hurg
turnpike, which, as before alluded to, Is all in
on |y L | |(5
HU to Alex
uudria, which is of no consequence.
1 could learn of no road hy which tho forth!-
cations below could be reached from Chain
Bridge within our picket lines ; ho. to do this, it
Is ubecssary tw re-cross, come hack to George
town and go over on the Ferry. After leaving
the Ferry you plus's by Fort Coreorau and others,
finished and in process of erection, and two
miles straight out on this road brings you to
Ball’s Cross Roads, which is within hall or three
quarters of a mile ol ovir outside line ol picketK,
and as fur as you are. allowed to go. A few rods
below this a very good view of Munson's Hill
(three miles distant) can bo had with glasses.
Taking tlm cross road south from here, a mile
and a half brings you into the road leading to
Fairfax hy way of Bailey’s Cross Roada, this end
of which terminates at Long Bridge. From the
roof ot a house here yon have a much better
view of Munson’* Hill, about the same, dfataneu
as before. This hill Is the highest point of laud
visible, and the new rebel fortification ou itcora-
inands the country for miles to the east, south
and west. It fa ubouUe(pii-iiistaut from George
town Ferry and Long Bridge -five miles, vv Itb,
perhapn, one exception, our nearest fortification
is about three miles from it; Mm exceptional
one, which wi) are now throwing up with the ut
most expedition, lining on a high eminence—al-
iuomi. as high as the hill itadl—almost due south
of it, and probably two aud three-quarter miles
off. It4* bolng built long and narrow, *o that
the shell from the, hill would have to be thrown
with great precision to fall into It. It is a flank
work on the Munson’s Hill rurtlllcatlons, and
seems to hi? designed for tho special bnueflt of
the latter.
As persons are not allowed to go out tho Fair
fax roads beyond Arlington Mills, except on
foot, 1 found it necessary in order to reach
Bailey’s Cross Roads, and as the most convenient
thod oi visiting the I'ortiflcatious injhat di-
lion of Alexandria, to take u boat to that
point and rtart out from there. Alter leaving
Alexandria you usemul a long hill in tlm rear,
which brings-you to Fort Ellsworlb, one ol the
first creeled.. Close by this Is another, a new
one, commanding a longer sweep above, and ou
tlm opposite side of the valley, up which run*
tin; Manassas Railroad, is anotlmr going
prominent elevation, thus rend(?rlng the .
pregnable, and commanding the valley within
range of the guns. Our picket Hues extend
only two nr three miles up the railroad to
Cloud’3 Mills, running thence southwardly to
the. Potomac, a few mile* below Alexandria, and
northwardly to Bailey'* Cross Roads.
Aseeftdiug to the cupola of Mm Fairfax Semi
nary near here, a splendid prospect is atlprded
of the country' in all directions. Horn I learned
for tlm first time, anil verified by actual oMwva-
ilon, that up uuolhor hill, immediately
rear of Muilfion’s, and commanding tlm «
on the latter. Is another rebel rortifleation

Anothei Escape from a Federal Pri»on-A Series
ox Remarkable Adventures
We bad uu Inlervlnw yesterday with Liculeuunt
Dun not, of tho Confederate Army, who e fleeted
bfa (‘scape from Hie Federal prison at Washing
ton, ou Wednesday, the lHili Instant. Lieute
nant D. was captured in the battle of Manas.-ft,
near the Henry House, having been decoyed by
the enemy, (who had possesshpi of our signal,)
into close proximity with a body of ‘200 men.
During Hie entire liighl pruvious.to hts escape,
he, with iwv Jlber*, kept uu aufciope watch,Imt
found it impossible Mi elude thr vigilance of tho
sentinels. Hr Imd been provided with the uni
form ol a Federal officer by some kind ladies of
Washington, who used the peculiar method-of
smuggling which we have often had occasion to
notice. Disguised in this uniform, he deter
mined to thk it alone and in (he day Mine ; aud,
accordingly, gutting two of his friends to assist
him ovt?r the wall, he soon found himself outside
the prison, though the most hazardous part of
his enterprise was yet to be encountered. An
old lady saw him make his leap from the wall,
hut ho disarmed her suspicions by pretending to
lie a Federal officer -aaked her If she had been
auitoved by any of hfareffien, and promised her
Hint any complaint iu that respect should receive
his prompt attention.
‘le remained iu tho city an hour and a half,
1 then started for Bludenshurg, where he ar
rived safely. Some of hi* lady acquaintances
here procured him the disguise of a drover, and
he went on through the country leaking exten
sive contract* for the purchase of cattle. He
met many Influential men, who tor their fidelity
to the cause of the South, were in constant dan
ger ol arrest, to nvoid which they were com pell
ed to sleep in Mie woods at night. Lieut. Duijuoi
slept three nights in a horse stall, while bis
friend* kept watch to warn him of the approach
of danger. Ufa trip through Maryland was
extremely hazardous, yet he uiuuaged to elude
the foe, aud Anally came to the. vicinity of the
Potomac, where he met with his friend, Adjutant
Alexander, an accounj. of whose-escaj •• Irom
Fort McHenry we have already published. Tho
surprise was mutual, and they finished their
i*eriluus Jonruey togethur, Lieut. D. boaring bln
helpless companion on hi* hack to the shore of
the river, which they crossed, and soon had oc
casion to Lhaiik God that they were once more
ou the friendly soil of old Virginia.
Lieut. Duunot says that the parliog words of
the true-hearted Marylanders were—“ For God’s
sake use your inllucuce to get them lo come over
and help us."
The prisoners In Wm»blugton, ns our readers
are aware, are confined in the old Congross
building. The fare provided by tho Federal
Government is hard bread, u piece of fat pork
and water, twice a day. Some generous ITi tuds
of the South, however, maimged occasionally to
furnish them with something more palatable.—
A Washington paper, which we have, belon
says “it is supposed that theVebcl, Dunnot,
aided by outnidu parties,’.’ and annouuees that
two sentinel?* Imd been placed under arrest lor
permitting him lo escape, and that the Provost
Marshal had offered a reward of $50 lor Ids
capture.—Richmond Dispatch.

Subjugation—Where 1
If Lincoln and his supporters icully suppose
that the Southern people will ever pass under the
yoke of his despotism, they oi k criminally blind,
not only to the dictate* of reason aud tbo teach
ings of bfatory, but lo current events at ''jiicta,
us obvious us the sun iu the heavens. But we
believe; they now expect no such thing. The
purpo8eu'nu temper of the Southern people, their
pint, tlielr strength and their prowls, have
»ceu evidenced on the buttle Held, uud displayed
before the world, until Europe has learned the
lesson to which Lincoln labor* to be blind, but
which he in constrained to understand.
The Southern people have, indeed, never tole
rated the bare Idea of being conquered and bound
the prey of Northern avarice and tyranny.—
Men, women and children have vowed the irre
vocable vow, and would die before they would
yield.
When Kossuth Bought refuge iu the Turkish
dominions from the blood-hounds of tyrannical
power, the Turk* proposed to him protection on
condition that he would coi I .race the Mahom-
medan religion. The uolile Magyar rising to the
full dignity of hi* proportions at once Answered :
“I decline; between death and dishonor Mm
choice is neither dubious nor dlfllcult." So an
swer now the united .Southern people to the
proffer* and the threat* of the boasted eighteen
million* of John Hickmau.
Lincoln and Seward cannot now fall to see
that u re-union i* impossible. The Idea on which
they commenced the war fa forever dissipated. —
They pro** on in their inad work because they
do not know how to stop. We do not believe
that they have now a very delimte underutand-
Ing of their own movement?). They are drilling
or driving, they know not whither. They have
missed the port for which they set sail, and are
now on the unknown ocean. By what policy
will they Hteer ?’ Their despotic conr*e* conclu
sively show that our old Government was iu-
coun ntlble with their notion* of-power. Con
stitutions and laws, judge* and law-makers, are
mocked aud set at naught by their men of war.
Iii one thing only are they consistent. They
set out to subjugate a free people, and deprive
them of their liberties. They arc likely to suc
ceed. with one qualification. The yoke was pre
pared for thouecksof one people-^it is' falling
on the neck* of another, 'l'he South escapes ;
hut the people who lent themselves u* the agents
of the scheme, and became parties to the effort
to ouslave u*, are themselves the victims. The
pit which they digged for us, they themselves
have fallen Into. Ilnuian fa hanged on Ills own
gallows. The South has uot been subjugated,
and will uot be. But the North has been. They
have passed there under the yoke of a despotism
such a* raeil have uever before grouued under oo
America!? shores.
They dare not do as the laws allow them.
There is no law—every thing fa what Lincoln
wills. Men dure not speak us they please. They
dare not? think as they please. They dare uot
have a consoleuce of their own. They dare not
be silent. They must affirm what, perhaps, they
do not believe; must swear to that against which
their souls revolt; must applaud the tyranny
which their souls execrate; must j°lu r in the
clamor for innocent blood. All this they must
do, or accept as their portion, prisons and dnn-
jreons iu distant States or on gloomy faies,
where friends may not see them, where wive*
may not hear from them, where trial* are not to
be had, and where they dwell in such cells as
Lincblu may' be pleaned to assign, and until be
shull be pleased to discharge them l Thu* has

the direction of Musilla. An hour afterwards,

Troubles at Pnncuton College, N. J -
The Newark Mercury, of Monday, nay*: Ou
Thursday last a party ol ovur zealous Unlou stu
dent* at Princeton College visited the room* of
Francis Dubois, Jr., of thl* oily, uud Alexander
Fullerton, Jr., of Philadelphia, student* who iiad
expressed secession sentiment*, for the purports
of ducking them. Fullerton escaped, but Iris
companion wo* seized and ducked al the College
pump. The Faculty discovering three of perpe
trators of this puufahine.ul, decided, to suspend
them from the institution. This action ot the
authentic* caused intense excitement .among
the students, and a wholesale rebellion vttm
seriously advocated by quite a number.
At evening j>rayer* the Pruntdtffit made a short
but decided speech, in whirl) he declared that it:
wii" the Arm and unalterable determination of
the Faculty to put down mob law iu tin; edllege,
and that if any student rendered himself obnox
ious by the expression of traitorous *entlineute,
that tho college authoritlr* would udtnonfab or
expel film ; And to them, aud not to the students,
belonged the action in the mutter.' He further
stated that the proceeding* of the previous eve
ulng were a dfagrnco to the institution, and
moreover a direct infraction of the la we, which
the Faculty could not pass over.
He promised a thorough investigation of the
matter, and declared that If they were unable to
vindicate their authority In any other way, they
would expel evqyy student and close up the !n-
Htltutiou. Upou Saturday morning the Presi
dent gave notice to the three detected bnW that
they must go to their home* Until permitted by
tho Faculty to return to their duties.
Hu wus determined upon the subject, and there
a* uo evading it. The names of those who are
suspended are Howard J. Reeder, ft »on of ex-
Governor Reeder, of Easton; Isaac K. Casey, of
ilnrrfaburg; Samuel B. Hury, of Pblladelpinv-
Previous to their departure the members of tb
College procured a large and elegant barouche,
aud decorated It very tastefully with American
lings. To this they attached a long repo, and
placing the exiled three in the carriage, amidst
the cueer* of the citizen*, they dh?w them
through the village to the depot.
Some two hundred students held the rope,
and wore preceded ‘by music. The march
through the town was almost an ovation.*-
Cheer* were given for many prominent Union
fata, including Senator Thompson, Commodore
Crahb, and Dm. McGlB, Hedge aud Mortar, of
the Horn inary.- i
Several prominent sece#8ioufafa were noticed
with three hearty groans, ;is were also several
members of the Faculty, whose houses wore
passed on the route. At the depot an l Dime OH*,
crowd of citizen* and students witnessed their
departure. The President say* the mutteV shall
not end here, but promises that every one cn
gaged iu the proceeding shall Suffer.
