Desk Mapam.—A letter from n rall-bt ar.d ertcrnied yoongfriciid who fought in all the battle* around Win ch-*'er, informs me that anme time in the ensuing month there will be \ dedi e.-ti nos the c metry, that has been set upirt under the at j-lee* of tl c 1 .dies ot that town and vicinity f, r the Con 'ederate dead, who fill in tic lower Sh'nandoah Valley. In the ci-tait City of Mcxk-p, I nnd the aceount of the sti pa inaugurated by the ladies of Winchester for collecting the remains and making the grave* of the brave men wh r. 1 i*t their lives in defense of! iheir coumry in and arouud the latter place, at and it ir impossible for me to give cEp-esrion to the emotion* of grat titude and adrairu'ion excited in my bo som on reading that toooui t. Ikn W that many of those who were thus to bo eared fur, fell fighting under my c< m mar>d, among them being a number of Vila cu personal friends, and this sad and toucLirg tribute to tbeir memories effee’ed tne V ry deeply. Since then 1 have anxiously deri ed an opportuni ty to convey to the noble women of i WiDobcster, and li e lower Valley of ! the Hhcnendoah, the expiessious of my I heartfelt thank*, not only for tbeir care ! for the remaius > f the dead, but for th ,ir kind and devi tod attentkn to tbe tick and wounded of my command, and I beg leave to do so through you. I fully ap; reiivtc the self-sacrificing vir tues displayed by all my oouotry-wotuen during tbe war, but there ate peculiar reasons why I should entertain senti ments of the warmest admiration for, and gra'ti'ude to the ladios of Wiocbes : tsr. It was tho fortune of the trtops | under my ooroand, to releive to at place 1 j three timis of the enemy during tho ' 1 war, and I had abundant opportunities \ of aseertvining as well, the heroic forti | tud ■ with which tbe ladies endured ail . I the horrors of its occupation by our ' i erui I and vindictive foes, as tbe unwa vering fidelity to cor cause which they ' maintained uud. r circumstances of un u*uat Ic'.nptatuiu to succumb. I was fully apprmtd < f the care taken by them lo honor our dead and pruv.de for our \ woundsd, not only when we w :re suc cessful, but when reverses compelled us to leave them in tbe hand -of the enemy. When many of my ceuntrymeo, in ignorance of the great disadvantages under ahich I labored at tbe tioie of niy reverses, jnged rne harshly, it was frem a lady ia Winchester that I r< - ! ceived a message sent through the lines i of the enemy, that whatever others: might and , th" ladies of thst place, who I knew the feaiful odds with which I htd to eon end with, attached ha blame to m*. It is not to be wondered therefore tl *' l feel •• deeply toward them. God knots how well 1 love my native j State and ail ber unfortunate sinters of ; the South, and how che< rfully my life wa« risked and would now be yielded l in their defense ; bnt to all of us th.’to | are some wpnta peculiarly gar rod. W ith i I me the firrt among thrae is the place ' 'i>> c I was horn and where new repose 1 T - oiuins my n other, the pert t* \V mib ■..! ter, the plains around which were watered by the biro) of ?o tna ay i4i “*y brave comrades, anil where now so r»*oy Inn women weep over the gravoa of the faltru. It is gad, sad in deed to be an cjilp fen© my country and sadder still to mouru the 1 >** of the mrat just and sacred cause f r which man evet ‘Sugbt; but th- re is rrme , comfort in knowing that the struggle which developed so irueh heroism on tlie jitrtof our soldiers tnd so many virtuos in (nr women, ha* not been all in vain; and wherever I nmy wander, I will bear with me tbe proud cousola , tion derived from the knowledge tbs' my cnun'ry women who were so faith ' ful and devoud durii g all the trials and vicissitudes of our dreadful contest |rr independence, now that it i* gone 1 against us, remain true to the memoiie* |of the dead. Power and money may I procure oo*t]y monument* and testimo nial* to oomemorate tbe names of those who fought and died f.ir the successful party, but all the power and wealth of the world, cannot command ao rich a ' tribute a* that paid to the memory of : the heroic acid of the Cmfedcrcte sr— j iiiies by the teare of the woman of the j S >uth. I beg that you will c ramuni ata thi j exnro-si nos my feelings to the ladies of 'Vincbe<ti;r and the Lower Valley, and may tke choicest blessings of Heav- Dn rcaal on yon and th m.

Tho ship fell off into tbe trough of the sea. Hooked, nleaving tackles immediately, shipped a heavy sea oarryin; away paddle boxes and bur ting iu epgiue roi m doors, bo ti !es breaking steam pipe and filling tne engine and fire room with water, putting out the fire in tbe fu-nace. j Tbe engineers immediately had donkey firo boiler to pump ship; *ll hards in- j eluding the male passengures at work bailing ship.

At 4 a. m , Capt. Knapp gave me or ders to get all the boids ready, with Oirs, breakers, provissior*, and ci mpi's scs well secured in tbem, and report to him, which was immediately attended to. At 4:30 a. m I had all the boats ready as ordered and reported the same to Capt. Knapp; at 5 a. m., Capt. Koupp went to the saloon door, and told (he 1 .dies that he bad done all in Li-* power to save the ship, that she could float but a short time longer, and I for them ill to repair to the boat*, each !i f which bad an officer stu’inmd at then', to take charge and see that the psi-sengcr* were properly placed in the boat*. Tbe ladies all cainc on dc.k without any txeifeJtent, and very ca'm ly took tbeir piaees in ibe boa's. In my boat there were as osar k» I could judge between foity and fifty women I unbooked tho tackles and swung the duvi t* clour of tbe boat; the boat atill remaining in her ebooks on deck. Iu a (*w minute® after tbe boats deaicd the ship settled forward to tbe top ot ber rail.*, gave a surge aft, and went and >wc, oarrying all with b r. O.i coming to the surface, the first thing I got boll of was the top of the after bouac. I saw my boat about thirty feet from me, bottom up, and a number of sailor clinging to it. I im mediately made for it got ou the bottom and hauled up f>ur ladies on to the boat with me, and by surging it to one side, succeeded in righting h< r. I then paid ay attention to get iug the ladies on the boat nnd succeeded in rescuing twenty-nine of them. On examining my boat I found that everything bad i) ea washed out of her. We managed | to get the boat clear of the wreck, but not until a number of my pasaengors 1 were killed by floating debris (rout the ■ wreck washing over the boat. ! I saw sno'her limit but two persins 1 (passengers) in her. They hating oars ; 1 mo ioned them to puil a- end to keep ! clear of my boat, but they not knowifig how to manage tier, she came foul of me, capsizing my boat. On again re gaining it,, 1 succeed b in righting her | ami picked up four Indies and fonr j gentlemen, cabin passengers, the re mainder having been drowned by the 1 capsizing of the boat. In about one 1 I hour alter 1 picked up another passen ger, a French gentleman of the opera troui>e. J alterwurdn saw a number ol pa- -angers clinging to pieces of the •'!••• <■ >ly in .it being fail of water, , and having nothing to manage her with, it wax impossible for me to ren . der them any aasis ance, the safety of | rny taint and passengers requiring rny whole attention. It is impossible for metossywhnt become oftbo other boat*. On the 4th I picked up six turnips which I gave to the ladies to out. I also picked up an awning-post, which I made a mast of, using my shirt for a sail, und steering thr boat with a piece of thwart, I shaped my course for tho westward. On Friday, the sth, I had a fresh breeze from the eastward the boat go ing along finely under sail. I heard the gentlemen complaining bitterly for the want of water, the ladies remain ing perfectly quie‘. About dark oue of tbe ladies died. Saturduy, the tith, strong bieozea from the eastward, and heavy sea.— We were all suffering dreadfully for want of water, und against all of my warning they would drink salt water, w hich made them a great deal worse, some of them bscoiring insane Sunday, 7th, heavy gal s from rast-, ward and heavy sea. At about 7we made a sail uni steered for it She passed without seeing u*. She was so near to u* I cou'd see her At about 9 a. in. oue of the gentleman pv Wengers jumped o erboard and wis drowned. At about Bp. m two more of iny gentleman passengers becoming insane, jumped overboard and were drowned. At about 10 pin a heavy sea struck the boat, capsizing her and drowning one lady a alone gentleman The gentleman's name was Frank K Dcnniv. I mice eded in righting the boat and getting on board the three remaining passengers, one gentleman and two la dies. 1 then made a drag with my must and boat's painter, and kept tho boat’s bead to the wind during the r - mainder of ‘.he night. Monday Oct Bth—About. 2 A. M., the remaining gentleman passenger jumped overboard I succeeded in getting him on board nga n. lie re mained for alKMlt five minutes, when he went forward and jumped over board again and was drowned. He was a member of the opera troufie. — The weatner moderating, tho two re maining ladies and myself rirgod the boat out with a pie eof one of their under garments. We then made sail on the boat and steered to the west ward. At daylight I found mysc'i in colored water, and steered to tne I westward, with light breeze and lint son, we a l suffering so terribly from thirst and hunger The ladie became speechless. Their names were Miss Addie Norton n"d Mrs. Rose How ard, of New York Thursday, 9th—a f-esh breeze •pung up from tho Eastward, with a h- an swell. About 2P.M. I in ide the land and stood for it. About 9 I'. M., I i made a light but could u t ste r lor it, |on aocount ot havini; no niii'iageabie sail. About an hour aft o' - a show ir ouiiio up; I caught some na'ir with a piece of their clotlrng and wrung it into tbe mouths of the ladies, which ao revived them that they could speak. A* near as I can judge, about 10 P. M I g-1 inside of tne on er treakars After passing th r cugh three Ire 1- ers, and tui iking we were safe, tbe i fourth breaker s'ruck tho boat, rolling ! her over and over, throwing us ad three 1 out. It being very dark, I could no' see either < f the Indies ; limy w- re much exhausted they must have been drowned immediately. I swam to the shore, arid a* soon as I got on the beach I Imke-1 for m) boa’ and found her 1 it* a fen feet from mo. F searched r or the ladies but could not find tbem; [ then strolled along tbe beach to find assistance an 1 water. A' 6:30 A. M., 10b ins'. I airived it May P rt Mills, Fia , at the mouth of tbe St. Johns River, where I was kindly rcl t-ved by Mr A. B Floyd who rendered me re idy sss s unc , as also did Dr. Jas. J. E is'nua, U 8.

I also return my i banks t tbe Captain ad offie- rs of ll eU 8 steamer St. Mary*, Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Kemps, al oto C»;t, Ch s dm, . i tbe brig Freed tn, and bi ohiet libber, fur their assist* os in reci ve hg my boat.

Goldie, Second officer of the late ill fated steam • ship Evening Star. Gkn. Tilson, and Henry County. —We find in the Constitutionalist of the 13th a letter to the Chairman and Secretary of the recent public meet ing in Henry county Gen. Tilson cites several instances of cruelty and abuse of freed men in that county, and one murder by a gang ol outlaws. He complained of the neglect of the civil authorities to suppress, and pun ish these proceedings, and adds : I shall hold the prisoners und main tain a garison in Henry county until 1 the conduct of the people, and the ac-1 tion of the civil authorities warrant the j j belief that the laws will be enforced 1 i und all classes of citizens protected.— i Longer to trust mere (lossession, would 1 be *.o indulge in crimin 1 credulity. As the publication of the resolutions sent me, tend to give the impression that the Military Authority have act- j edin an oppreeire and tyranical man ner, withoutdua investigation or knowl- ! edgo cfhwta, I shall publish the fore g ing statement. 1 have altogether mistaken the char acter and intentions of the people of th s State, if, after reading this state -1 meat, they shall decide that my action 1 has been hasty, ill-considered or too severe. I am gratified to ad j that this is the first instance in this State when the cflorts to restore t''e Supremacy of civil law, in a manner to protect the j rights of all citizons, irrespective of col or or condition, has proved so nearly a failure. A moat Horrid ,Ha»acre. Oue of tho most brutal massacres that has ever become our pdnlul du'y to chronicle, occurred near Cedar Bluff, Cherokee c 'unty, Alabama, on the mi r i ing of Monday, the 15th in t: Mr. A'thue William* was moving with liis family f?nm Bartow county of this State, to Texas, and Sunday even ing last camped for tbe night on the Cba'looga Riv-r about two miles from Cedar bluff. Tho appearance indicate that himself, wife and two children were all sleeping on i-ni bed that was spread I out on tbe ground. When found about dac-hreak on : Monday morning, Mr. Williams and these two cfci'dreo were still lying npon the bed, dead »Dd it on fire. They bad been killed with an axe that, wan King | near. Mr. William’s head havtrg been literally split open and the ehi'dren iinr ribly mutiUted.hut alNeera to bare been 1 killed instantly, as their bodies still re am lined upon the bed Mis W. having received a t'rrihlo blow upon the bead by the ax" o her l ift check, destroying her left evo and breaking her jaw bone, with her el”that on fire had roiled down the bluff to the wafer’s edge, and, when fouud, though speechless, was still alive when our informant left this awful sceno. No clue is given to the perpetrator oxcept that a eegro, bart-f oted, Culled nt a bouse a half a mile from the place at ten o’clock oo Sunday night and got a drink of water. These tracks were traoked to tbe place, and Mr. William’s shoes being gane, tracks with shoes were found going from the plaoc. We understand the negro was a stranger to j the gcutlem.vn where he got the water. Trial of .Hr. Davi*. It. appearsoonclu-ively fr the cor respondence between the I' e-iio,. n'd tho Attorney General, that M* Davis is certainly to be tried for treas on, that the President had done every thing in hi* power to bring him to tri ll 1 , and whatever delay may or ha* oc curcd in tho trial, cannot bo charg and upon hitr. It further appears from the c rruspoodcnce, that Mr. Davis will rot ho held to answer to any charge against h m as a military prisoner. Mr DavVs trial will take yl.ee whenever the District Atter iev, and the court shall thiuk proper, sft-r Con g-e*J has made some further legislation to tbe a-signment of the judges (f t t- Supreme Cou-t- to the Circuits.

The Commissioner ol Internal Rev enuc haw issued additional regul itioug concerning the transportation of cotton iu bond. The bond may be given by the consignee in the district to which the cotton i*to be shipped and tiansmitt. ed to the coll 'ctor of the district in which ' tbe cotton is produced. The bond beieg pr perlv filed, the Assessor will iisue permits based upon the weight as re ported by tlio owner. Any want of accuracy in such retort of receipts is to bo corrected by the certificate of tbe weigher at the point, to which the cot- I ton was shipped. This avoids tbe ne 'ee.sity of having the oatton weighed by a government oflfi ip prior to shipment. The old r gnlations still remain in foree I and w.ll bo observed whenever parties wish to Birip in tbe manner there pro - vided. New York Hsrkel*.
