The Speculator.
Os all the various beasts of prey
That thirst for bloody gore,
That sneak and prowl, relentless slay,
Whose constant cry is more,
There’s none like him whose craving maw,
Would fill his coffers by this war.
No beast, of which we ever read,
Would prey upon his like;
Whose craven heart, to feeling dead,
Would ’gainst his species strike ;
’Tis left to man, man’s high estate,
To do the deed he’d execrate,
Aye, can it be—ala 9 ! ’tis so—
All “Shylocks” are not dead—
There’s those who wring’ the heart with woe,
That take the orphans’ bread,
Whose monied might the poor oppress,
Who should relieve, but make distress.
Now is the time we all should strive,
To do ail good we can ;
Not by our neighbors’ sufferings thrive,
But help our fellow-man ;
And in a measure, thus requite,
Our briny absent from the “tight.”
But rest assured, the heartless man,
The meaner than a beast,
Who speculate on what they can,
While others starve, to feast—
Mark what 1 say, believe it well—
He’ll surely die and go to h—ll.

Centreville, Pec. 7th, lstil. j
The Georgia Hussars were engaged in an
affray two nights ag >, that came near resul
ting most seriously. Like the Georgians
elsewhere however, they Lore themselves
with great gallantry, and got the belter of
the enemy under circumstances which re
flect much credit upon them and their com
manding officer, Captain Waring.
The Hussars, like the rest of our cavalry,
are posted in front, their peculiar province
being to watch the enemy, report their
movements, and do such scouting duty as
may be found necessary. Their duties are
labori >us, and frequently dai gerous. On
Wednesday night, Captain Waring left his
picket camp just after midnight at the head
of a detachment of twenty-four men. His
object was to surprise and cut off the ene
my’s picket at Annandale. It so happened
that the enemy had stta trap to surprise
him. Some mile or more this side of Au
nundalo, at a place where the enemy had
never been seen before, day or night, was
the spot selected for the ambush. The road
passes down a deep cut between two lulls
and goes out up the opposite bill through a
similar out, and is barely wide enough for
a wagon to pass. At the bottom, however,
the ground ascends abruptly on either hand,
as well as in front and rear, the depression
making, as it were, a cvl <le sac at the bot
tom of the converging bills. The road here
is much wider, and is so boggy that for a
space of several yards the horses would mire
up in the ice and mud to their knees.
On reaching the middle of this mud hole,
the advance guaid, eon.-istieg of a corporal
and private, camj suddenly against an ob
struction which arrested their progress. By
the time the remainder of the detachment,
which was a few paces in the rear, came np,
they had discovered that a telegraph wire,
doubled and twisted, had been stretched
across the road just high enough to take the
horses above the knees, and that another
wire had been so place as to take the men
under the neck and rake them off. The
moment the fact was communicated to Cap
tain Waring, he, supposing an enemy to be
present, and to assure his men, gave the or
der to charge. The instant he gave she or
der, the enemy, eighty strong, and posted in
the thicket all around them and almost near
enough to touch them with the muzzle of
the guns, opened lire upon the Hussars. —
Private Cuthbert’s horse was shot down, and
tivo other horses stumbled over him and fell
also. Notwithstanding the confusion that
ensued and the terrible disadvantage under
which the Hussars were placed, they gal
lantry returned the tire, when the enemy,
nearly four times as num rous and concealed
by the darkness and the thickets, ignomin
ously took to their heels. One of them, iu
his fright, took the wrong end of the road,
and was captured ; and it was from him that
the iu formation was received as to their
numbers, lie said he took the road which
he thought jed to Alexandria. This is a
common practice with the Yankees. They
always flee iu the direction of Alexandria
on the principle, it is supposed, of the rat,
which invariably strikes for his hole, how
ever distant it may be.
Capt. Waring received a flesh wound in
the face, the ball about half burying itself
in his check as it passed. His over coat has
fifteen or sixteen buckshot holes in the cape,
and the fastening around the throat was shot
away. Another ball grazed his head.
Private John McOay Mclntosh received
three slight buckshot wounds in the right
shoulder. Several shot passd through his
clothing.
Private S. Clemons received a slight flesh
wound in the shoblder. liis hat was per
forated by a large musket ball, and bis coat
riddled by buckshot.
Private Heidt received five buckshot in
the calf of the leg, two of which, it is
thought, lodged iu the bone. He was hit
in four or five other places, but they were
mere scratches. One ball entered his saddle.
His horse was killed. Lieut. Waldhour lif
ted him upon bis horse behind, and succeded
iu bringing him off safely.
Private Alfred Cuthbert’s horse as al
ready stated, was shot under him. Five
other horses fell over him, four of which, at
the time, wore thought to be killed. Two
of them got away and were taken by the
enemy next day, and two others strayed off.
Lieut. Gordon’s horse fell partially upon
him, and it was with difficulty that lie was ex
tricated. He escaped with a few bruises.
Orderly Sergeant T. H. Dunham was
wounded in the temple and somewhere in
the body. He was taken off next morning
at day-break by the enemy, and is now a
prisoner, lie was walking when last seeu
about a mile and a half beyond the ambush.
Lieut. Waldhour’s gun was hit with a
ball where the barrel joins the stock, and a
part of the ball lodged in the cape of his
coat. He was just raising his piece to fire,
and had it across his breast., otherwise he
would probably have been killed.
A ball passed under private Bird’s chin,
and through both sides of his to it collar.—■
liis coat was siDged with powder, so close
was the muzzle of the gun to him. A ball
lodged iu corporal Dilloa’s saddle. He was
aomewhat bruised bv the fall of his horse.
Private Ball’s horse fell with and upon
him, aud being unable to rise, he was sub
sequently taken prisoner. His captor de
prived him of his gun and then commanded
him to cross his hands preparatory to being
tied. He laid the guu down and commenced
to fumble in his pockets for a string, when
Ball seized the gun and shot him down, and
GDally escaped.
The loss of the enemy was one killed, two
wounded, (one severely,) and one taken pris
oner. The enemy had a regiment posted on
the hill in advance, which rendered the po
sition of the Hussars still more hazardous.
The time occupied in the affair did not
exceed a few secondt. After delivering
their pieces and extricating as many of their
friends as possible in the darkness and mud,
the Hussars fell back by the road along
which they had advanced. They supposed,
and very correctly as it turned out, that the
enemy was posted in considerable force near
the scene of action. They did not know at
the time that tho 80 men who fired upon
them, had disgracefully tied, notwithstand
ing their numbers and advantages. This
they learned next morning from the prisoner,
who naively explained the circumstance by
saying his friends supposed the Hussars
would charge upon them as they had been
ordered to do by their Captain. They did
not seem to know that it was imposstblc for
cavalry to charge up a steep hill through the
woods, and that at night.
The Hussars behaved with great coolness
and gallantry, and further il’ustrated the
character of our good old State lor courage
and daring. They have lost but one man
since they came to Virginia, either in battle
or from sickness, and that was private Dun
ham, spoken of above,
No further indications of an advance by
McClellan. His foraging parties, which fre
quently go out in consideaable force, are
sometimes taken for the head of his advanc
ing columns. A few days ago our scouts
killed four and captured fifteen men, who
formed a part of an escort to a foraging train.
AH the men taken were newly arrived Ger
mans, who knew so little English that it was
with difficulty they could he understood.
There is reason to believe that. Mr. Lin
coln has sent agents abroad, for the purpose
of procuring foreigners to come to the Unit
ed States to enlist in the Federal service.—
Our scouts tell me that it is seldom the Yan
kees deliver more than one fire before they
incontinently take to theii heels. They not
not only run, but they throw down their
arms. This they do, I presume, in obe
dience to St. Paul’s injunction to the He
brews, viz: to lay aside every weight which
doth wo easily beset them, in order that they
may run the race set before them the more
swiftly !
The weather is dry and bracing. More
or less ice remains in wet places throughout
the day. The mercury descended, a few
days ago, to 15 degress above zero. We
have lived in the open air so much, howecer,
that we do not feel the cold as much ns you
would suppose. I*. \Y. A.

Washington, Nov. 17th, 1861, )
398 16th Street. j
l'o the lion. Wm. 11. Snvorfl,
JSrrretary of State:
Sir—For nearly three mouths 1 have
been confined, a close prisoner, shutout from
air and exercise, and denied all communion
with Family and friends.
“ Patience is said to be a great virtue,”
and 1 have practised it to my utmost ca
pacity of endurance.
1 am told, sir, that upon your ipse dixit ,
the fate of citizens depends, and that the
sign-manual of the ministers of Louis the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, was not more po
tential in their day, than that of the Secre
tary of State in 1861.
I, therefore, most respectfully submit, that
ou Friday, August 23, without warrant or
other show of authority, 1 was arrested by
the Detective Police, and my house taken in
charge by them; that all 1113’ private letters
and papers, of a lifetime, were read and ex
amined hy them: that every law of decen
cy was violated in the search of my house
aud person, aud by the Hurveillauce over
me.
We read in history, that the poor Maria
Antoinette had a paper torn from her bosom
by lawless hands, and that eveu a change of
linen had to be effected in sight of her bru
tal captors. It is my sad exjn rienee to re
cord even more revolting outrages than that,
for during the first days of my imprison
ment, whatever necessity forced me to seek
my chamber, a detective sentinel stood at
the open door. And thus for a period of
seven days 1, with my little child, was placed
absolutely at the mercy of men without
character or responsibility; that during the
hrst evening, a portion of these men became
brutally drunk, and boasted iu my hearing
of tbe “nice times” they expected to have
with the female prisoners; and that rude
violence was used towards a colored servant
girl during that evening, the extent of which
L have uot been able to learn. For any
show of decorum afterwards practiced to
wards me, 1 was indebted to tbe Detective
jailed Capt. Denuis.
In tbe careful analysis of my papers I de
ny the existence of a line I had uot a per
fect right to have written, or have received.
Freedom of speech and of opinion is the
birthright of Americans, guaranteed to us
by our Charter of Liberty—the Constitution
of the United States. 1 have exercised my
prerogative, and have openly avowed my
sentiments. During the political struggle,
f opposed your Republican party with every
instinct of self-preservation, 1 believed
your success a virtual nullification of the
Constitution, and that it would entail upon
us all the direful consequences which have
ensued. These sentiments have doubtless
been found recorded among my pap an j
I hold them as rather a proud record of ni y
sagacity.
I must be permitted to quote from a letter
of yours, in regard to Russell of the London
Ti me*, which you conclude with these admi
rable words: “Individual errors of opinion
may be tolerated, so long as good sense is
left to combat them.” By way of illustrat
ing theory and practice — here am I, a pris
oner iu sight of the Executive Mansion, iu
sight ol the Capitol where the proud states
men our land have sung their pueans to the
blessings of our free institutions. Comment
is idle. Freedom of speech, freedom of
thought, every right pertaining to the citi
zen, has been suspended by what I suppose
the President calls a “ Military necessity.”
A blow has been struck by this total disre
gard of all civil rights, against the present
system of government, far greater in its
effects than the severance of the Southern
States. Our people have been taught to
contemn the supremeey of the law, to which
all have hitherto bowed, and to look to the
military power for protection against its de
crees. A military spirit has beeu developed,
which will only be subordinate to a Military
Dictatorship. Bead history and you will
find that the causes which bring about a
revolution, rarely predominate at its close,
and no people have ever returned to the
point from which they started. Even should
the Southern States .be subdued aud forced
back into the Union (which I regard as im
possible, with a full knowledge of their re
sources) a different form of government will
be found needful to meet the new develop
ments of national character. There is no
class of society, no branch of industry, which
this change has not reached, and the dull,
plodding, methodical habits of the poor can
never be resumed.
You have held me, sir, to a man’s account-
ability, aud I therefore claim the right to
speak on subjects usually considered beyond
a woman’s ken, and which you may class as
“errors of opinion.” I offer no excuse for
this long digression, as a three months’ im
prisonment, without formula of law, gives
me authority for occupying even the precious
moments of a Secretary of State.
My object is to call your attention to the
fact; that during this long imprisonment, I
am yet ignorant of the causes of my arrest;
that mhouse has been seized aud convert
ed into a prison b3 7 the Government; that
the valuable furniture it contained has beeu
abused and destroyed; that during sonic pe
riod of imprisonment 1 have suffered greatly
for want of proper and sufficient food.—
Also, 1 have to complain, that, more recent
ly, a woman of bad character, recognized as
having been seen on the streets ot Chicago
as such, by several of the guard, calling
herself Mrs. Ouderdouk. wac placed litre in
my house, in a room adjoining mine.
In making this exposition, I have no ob
ject (if appeal to your sympathies. If the
justice of my complaint, aud a decent regard
for the world’s opinion do not move you, I
should but waste time to claim your atten
tion on any other score.
[ may, however, recall to your mini, that
but a little while since, you were quite as
much prescribed by public sentiment here,
for the opinions and principles you held, as
I am now for mine.
1 could easily have escaped arrest, having
had timely warning. I thought it possible
that your statesmanship might present such
a proclamation of weakness to the world, as
even the fragment of a ouce great Govern
ment turning its arms against the breasts of
women aud children. You have the power,
sir, and may still further abuse it. You
may prostrate the physical strength, by con
fiuciueut in close rooms and insufficient food
—you may subject me to harsher, ruder
treatment than 1 have already received, but.
3’ou canuot imprison the soul. Every cause
\vortli3 - of success has had its martyrs. The
words of the heroine Cord;i3’ are applicable
here —“ (Test le crime quifait la honte cl
non pas Tenchafavde.” My sufferings will
afford a significant lesson to the women of
the South, that sex or condition is no bul
wark against the surging billows of the
repressible conflict. ’ ’
The lt iron fuel of power” 1110.3- keep down,
but it cannot crush out (he spirit ot resist
ance iu a people armed for the defence of
their rights; and I tell 3 r ou now, sir, that
you are standing over a crater, whose
smothered fires in a moment may burst forth.
It is 3’our boast, that thirty three bristling
fortifications now surround Washington. —
The fortifications of Paris did not protect
Louis Philippe when his hour had come.
111 conclusion, I respectfully ask your at
tention to this my protest, and have the
honor to be, etc., etc., etc.,

1. Resolved, That as Conference of Chris

acknowledgements to Almighty God for the
kind interposition of his providence as man
ifested in our abundant crops, and the bril
liant victories we have achieved by our arms.
2. Resolved, That in our devotions, we
will continue to p r ay for the success of our
arms, and the conquest of a permanent
peace, and to ask the blessings of our Heav

olliecrs, and soldiers and their families.
3. Resolved, That we recommend a week

4. Resolved, That there is no such thing
as a Union party among us, and the assump
tion of the existence of such a party is false
in fact, a fabrication of the enemy to excuse
tbe unholy war against the Uonfcderate
States. ‘1 hat the Union being broken, it is
broken, for all time ; we never will consent
to become citizens of the United States.
5. Resolved, That the above report and
resolutions be sent to our delegates in Con

With Joy.
The following from the Philadelphia Press
°f the 10 th shows that the Yanks were near-
U tickled to death with the glory of their
achievement at Port Royal. Let them en
joy it while they may, as the payment for
tueir fun will he a sorry reconing :
A number ot gentlemen—officers, corres
pondents and Government agents—have ar
rived. I hey relate some curious incidents
of the light, and their experiences are inter
esting, in so far as they exhibit the various
manners of thought and conduct which agi
tate the different spectators on the eve of a
great battle. They all agree to the beauti
ful appearance of the fleet when the cannon
ading was about to commence.
The transports that lay outside the har
bor were crowded with sailors and seamen,
who gazed across the water in a agony of
expectation, enthusiasm and anxiety. i-Yw
men could have been seen on the decks of
the war vessels, as they were hidden by the
high bulwarks.
1 be \\ abash was the observed of all eyes,
as her high masts and immense hull moved
slowly towards the shore, and all her ports
blazed lire and iron in a moment. Vei /
little could he seen, from the transport decks,
of the rebel batteries, troops or guns. A
few palmetto trees extended in a line an >
a beach of sand, with the woods iu the 1
ground, aud some moving bodies behind
dark mass of ramparts were all that
ted the presence of a large force of
mined rebels, who were alreadv riv’ ‘
muzzles of their cannons towards ti.
the Wabash.
The shells throw n by the Wab; h
readily seen exploding among the r
and at the first discharge a hundred c; ■ns
ran over the waves from ship to ship. The: <
were drowned iu a moment by the booming
of cannon.
Alter the fight, a great deal of curiosity
occurred as to who should first plant foot on
the rebel soil. There were many suspicions
of treachery, and the first boat’s crew to
land looked distrusfully about them, as if
expecting to be fired upon by some concealed
foe.
When the sentiment became general that
the rebels had deserted their posts, soldiers
and seamen thronged upon the island, ami
amid the greatest cheering, yelling and fight
ing, the rebel banner was hauled down.—
1 hose who had bawled themselves hoarse,
before, continued to demonstrate their joy
by sciearning, until they had no voices at
all ; and it is exceedingly questionable
whether, in the whole fleet, there was any
one who could give an ordinary regimental
order. There was, in fact very little order
about the whole transaction. It was no un
common sight to sec a private slapping bis
Major lustily on the back. A number of
privates improvised on the spot a game of
leap frog, and some hundreds of men were
falling into each other’s arms, and weeping,
laughing and shouting by turns.
There was not a sick or lame man in the
expedition that had not crawled out from
his hammock, leaped over the ship’s side
into a launch, and joined his comradeson
shore. There was something solemn in rais
ing the flag of the Union upon the soil
where it had been insulted and trodden un
der foot. The event was significant, for so
shall the whole soil polluted by treason
again acknowledge the supremacy of its law*
ful banner.
The joy felt in the two fi rts bad some
thing of sternness and passion about it. —
It partook of the feeling of retribution, and
the occasion, was hailed by none so cheer
fully as tiie Pennsylvanians who were con
cerned in the capture and occupation. All
the returned gentlemen are iu good spirits,
and state that they had rather lose ten years
of a lifetime than have failed to witness the
bombardment of Port Royal.
