strange incidents that happen in warfare,
we copy from that interesting little sheet
■‘‘The Countryman,” published at the

“An Incident of Chigkamauga.—
■While the battle of CMckamauga was ra
■gukg, Mr. Dortch, a member of the 6th Tex
f jig regiment, fell, shot through the head. —
■Lieut. Joe Turner, an officer of the compa-
Ijv to wiihii I fortcu beloogeff, seeing his
cuifi/ade fall, stooped to place him in a po
sition where he could die easy, and while
thus engaged, received a bullet that literal

the surgeons laid open his arm, and took

tained leave to come to Putnam county
where he could receive proper attention from
his relatives.

Alter being wounded, he remaiued all night

After b°ing overpowered, tine captain was
put into irons, and the passengers were no
tified that they were prisoners of wur to the
Confederate States of America. The st am
or came ro ofi Partridge Island at about 1
o'clock this morniug. The crew uud pas
sengers except the brst engineer, were put
on board u boat and seDt to this city. The
steamer thvn sailed in an easterly direction
and was subsequently seen alongside anoth
er vessel. It is supposed that she took on
board a suoply of coal from her.
The attack Took place about tweuty-one
miles east ot Cape Cod. Capt. \\ ilbtts and
the pasasengers per the Chesapeake are now
at the Mansion House. The steamer and
cargo were valued at one hundred and eigh
ty thousand dollars. The steamer sailed
from New York on Saturday at 4 o’clock
| p. til, and was one of the regular line plying
between New York and Portland.
The New York Herald has the following
additional particulars of the capture.
From all we caa learn there were only
seven passengers who purchased passage
tickets for Portland, Ale., while a do2en or
more persona, dressed shabbily, some as re
turned soldiers, went on board and purchas
ed their tickets of the clerk of the boat.—
This not bebg an unfrequent method of do
ing business, of course would not create any
suspicions either iu the mind of the clerk or
captain. Among the &even passengers who
obtained their tickets at the office was one
person who stated to the clerk that he was
an old sea captain, and preferred this mode
of reaching Portland on account of its being
the pleasantest and cheapest. Before she
started some fifteen persons were counted
on her deck; but oveu at the office nothing
was thought of it.
She wa« full of freight, consisting of cot-
ton, rags, provisions and general merchan
dise. She only cairies about thirty tons of
coal, which is enough to last her for the
round trip, and had not more than three
days’ coal at the tipie of her capture, so
that the rebels cannot get very far with her.
She carried two guns, six-pounders, one
brass and the other iron, several revolvers,
and some other tire arms.
It is not known whether there was any
powder on board, but it is supposed there
was not much. Her sails are small and
cannot be depended upon. There was no
war risk, and the value of the vessel is over
sixty thousand dollars. It is not known
whether the cargo was insured. The Gap
tain is expected te arrive here to-day, and
then the full particulars will be obtained.
The steam propeller Chesapeake wes own
ed by H. B. Cromwell, of this city, and was
a splendid vessel in every respect. JShe
was built in 1853, v >y J. A. Westervelt, was
100 tons burthen, eleven feet draft >of wa
ter, built of oak, schooner rigged, and had
a direct acting engine of 200 horse power,
one cylinder of forty inches, aud forty-two
piston. She has always been a popular boat
ou this route.
The Chesapeake carried a crew of about
twenty persons, who were, no doubt, so scat
tered throughout the vessel that they did
not h*ve time to collect and retain posses
sion of the steamer.
The Navy Department was greatly ex
ercised over this capture. The Agawam,
from Portland, the Vicksburg, Grand Gulf,
Sebago, and Dawn, from New York, and
the Tieonderoga, and Hendrick Hudson,
from Boston, were all to sail on Monday in
chase of the daring raiders.
The only further account we hear of this
steamer, is, that she has been at Shelburne,
Nova Scotia, and obtained twenty cauldrons
of coal, and put. to sea with an increased
erew.

Tl«e Sieye-Oite Hundred and Fil
ty-muiti Day.
The following is the account we get of last
Friday’s mishap at Sumter :
At half-past nine a. m. the magazine in
the south west angle of the fort accidently
exploded. By this catastrophe a portion of
the small arms ammunition, oud of the am
munition for the howitzers, amounting to
about one hundred and fifty pouuda of pow
der, wsfti destroyed. All the occupants of
the magazine were immediately killed, and
those in the vicinity were either killed or
burned in a greater or less degree. The
material of the stucture immediately igni
ted, aud the neighboring passages being fill
ed with a dense smoke, it became very diffi
cult to make any prolonged exertions to ex
tinguish the fire. A boat was sent from
the gunboats, with water buokets to the“as
sistauce of the garrison.
The telegraph office waa removed from a
dangerous neighborhood to another locality.
This was done by Mr. Cathcart, the opera
tor, in a manner worthy of commendation.
Captain Johnson, of the Engineers, was eve
ry where, doing all that a man could do.
Lieut. Harper, Cos. F, 25th S. C. V. very
gallantly rescued several victims from the
embers. Captain Sellers, of the same corps
also rendered material assistance.
While the fire was at its height, the ene
my opened upon the fort. One hundred
and forty-three rifled shots were fired, of
which eighteen missed, and seventy seven
mortar shell, of which fifteen missed.
We append to our report a list of the cas
ualties.
There was no firing on Monday, and the
harbor was generally cjuiet. A dispatch re
ceived during the day states that the fort
had suffered no material injury from the
lire.
Charlf.*on, Dee. 14.—N0 firing last

Richmond, Dec. 14.—Lincoln’* Procla
mation is universally laughed at aud scorn
ed. It will prove revolting even to vecon

Important correspondence between the
President and Gen. Joe Johnston, relative
to Bragg’s removal was read iu the House
to-day by Mr. Swann, of Tennessee, from
which it appears that on the 24th of No
vember, 1862, Johston was ordered to the
supreme command of the whole Western
Department with his Headquarters at Chat
taonooga.
On the 22nd January, 1863, the Presi
dent ordered him to repair to Bragg’s Head
Quarters t/> decide upon the best interests
of the service and give him his advice.
Johnston inspected the army and report
ed to the President that the troops are in
high spirits and ready to fight. Their eou
fidonce is unabated* He thinks Bragg’s
operations evince vigor and skill, and if will
be very unfortunate to remove him. The
best interest of the service require that he
be retained.
The operations of the army out West in
volving the Generalship of Pemberton,
Bragg and Johnston, are much discussed
among members.
A memorial from the Georgia Hospital
Relief Association, askiug Congress to de
vise a plan to facilitate the claims of sol
diers’ widows was presented. This matter
is greatly behind, and Congress should do
something to hasten an adjustment of the
matter, which was referred to a committee
of five.
The House passed a resolution of thanks
to the heads at Sabine Pass.
A bill was presented to allow the funding
of Treasury notes not now fundable, which
was referred.
A resolution was introduced, instructing j
the Committee on Military‘Affairs to en
quire into the expediency of appointing!
veterinary surgeons in the army.
Gen. Lee, Gov. Harris and Geo. Cobb
were invited to seats on the floor.
In the Senate, the Committee on Milita
ry Affairs reported a bill that all white men.
resident of the Confederate States, between
the ages of 16 and 55, be declared in mili
tary service.
Ali between the ages of sixteen and eight
een, and forty-five and fifty-live, to belong
to the reserve corps, and all between eight
een and forty-five for field service. Auy
existing organizations of non-conscripts are
permitted to join the reserve corps. They
repeal all laws granting exemtions, and noLe
are hereafter exempt except those unfit for
military service. Ministers of the Gospel.
Superintendents of Assylums, one Editor to
each newspaper, Printers, Physicians arid
Apothecaries to be exempted. The bill was
placed in the calender to be taken up in its
turn.
Mr. Johnston, of Georgia, presented a
bill to repeal that portion of the impress
ment which provides for the State Com
missoners to fix prices. The bib was refer
red to the Judiciary Committee.
Both Houses of the Virginia Legislature
passed a resolution to adjourn next Monday
until the sixth of January next.
