FOR GOVERNOR JOSEPH Tu BROWN. Toesday Morning, July 9, ]{]tn, Tbe nr* f leovernor. \0 hoist at onr mast-head to-day the name of i (1 <ri’H E- Knows, onr present excellent thief Magistrate, as our preference for the next. Gover- , „f fieorgia- We will pice, very briefly, the ,ns for this preference. In the first place, lie (, ? en tried, and found faithful and efficient iu • , high trust confided to his keeping by tlie peo- He has the ability, the will to execute the l. aivs. and- more than all, lie has the nerve to do . .j,., bo matter what the consequences may be to j n, personally or politically. He lias been em- i hatica’ly the People's Governor. No man has, »a i no set of men or combination of corporations kjve been aid - to turu him a Siair's bicadtb from . ; pith of duty He has enforced the law as he : mad it: and whether the effect of its operation to hurt friend or foe, he has not enquired ; ,„ r has he interposed to obstruct its righteous execution. Without fear, favor or affection, lie „ discharged the duties of Executive of the s : ,t . Another reason: The people want him to p their Governor for the next two years. In t mes like these, all party division and wrangling j.eong men about offices, should be sternly dis paraged We are at present a united and a cou- t-nted people. Gov. Brown lias thus far guided ... through the perils that encompass our good old c immonwealth, with singular success. The .•arm still rages, and to change the helmsman at • critical period, would be the height of folly m l wickedness. It Governor Brown retires from ::,e tielJ a dozen or more aspirants will rush iu to the place. Conventions will be held, parties be orgauized. cliques formed, and the har mony and ?"°d feelmgnow universal in the State *1 be disturbed. Let us for once, let well eiougli aiime. Gov. Brown is tic man for the tines. The objection urged against a third tern: .■senseless. If the people desire it, it is right and proper that their wishes be respected, more par r.rularly as there is no statute which denies them toe privilege asked for in this instance. While »■ intend to urge our preference with earnest- n-ss, it is proper here to say that we will cheer- y sustain the choice of the People fairly’ made knuivn through a Convention. And we may ■..ther say. that this article is written without the knowledge of Gov. Brown. We have, on no oc- ,luion. and at no time, asked his views on this .- . set. or in any manner sought to obtain iiis wishes, with a view to bringing his name he- * re the people. We do not know that he will sent to be a candidate for re-election. But »s<ii< koine that the people wish him to star d for ' - othce, and that he will be overwhelmingly eected before the people, if he docs permit tiie *e of his name. He is the right man in the right pltce. A timely note of warning. An article in another column from tin Rich mond Dispatch, under the title “the South’s great dinger,” will attract attention. It takes for fruited the ultimate independence of the Con f-Jerate States, and warns the South against the jreatestdanger that will, in that event, encompass h»r people and institutions. Thousands of North erners will emigrate to the South, for two good reasons. The one, to get rid of an onerous war tit. which will bear heavily on the North for mtny years after the close o! the present .struggle Tbe other, to make money. It will he impossible * prevent them coming. But to secure ourselves mil' ll as possible against the influence of such men in our midst, we shall he compelled to deny thetnthe right of citizenship. Those who stay it tbe North until peace is made and then flee to ti e South to save tl ‘mselves from the ill effects "i their own folly and madness, should not be al lowed the privilege of naturalization. The Gov ernment must look to this matter. It is a subject which should engage the early and earnest atten tion of onr Congress at Richmond. As an enemy, tbe North has proven devoid of every spark of i nor and Christian principle. They have acted more like brutes than white men, in their treat ment"! all Southerners who were so unfortunate as to fail into their clutches ; and they have in- ,'ired private property with a wantonness that would disgrace a nation of barbarians. As pre tended friends, they could do us far more harm than as open and avowed enemies. Let us, then, provide against the propagation of a race ol traitors amongst ns, of which the Andy Johnsons and Brownlows would be the generating seed. The iinkiiulCMt cut of all. AVe were astonished and grieved last week to see that our neighbor of the Recorder had hoisted the name of Judge Thomas to the head of his column, as his, the Recorder’s, candidate for Gov ernor. Wc do not know what great injury Judge Thomas lias ever done the editors of the Record er, but we do know, that nothing short ot a per sonal insult, or some very great act ot injustice from him, could justify them in perpetrating such * piece of malicious mischief against him. It has long been an.established fact in Georgia politics, ’■bat any man that the Recorder nominated for Ooveruor, was from that time forth to all intents mid purposes politically dead .and buried beyond “e hope of a resurrection. In proof of this we have only to refer to the mournful fate of Garnett Andrews. Warren Aiken, and others whom it is wr. now Deccssary to mention. Knowing this ! «t,hnd with the mournful fate of their former victims before their eyes, what malicious demon could have prompted them, to try to drag Judge Ttiomas from the bench, or from the battle field, ‘here they admit that, if let .alone, lie is destined ki win unfading laurels ? And for what purpose lo they propose to drag him from positions ot ’■’•fulness and power? Why, merely to bury him among their other victims in the Recorder’s P"-:ticai grave yard. We know that Judge Thomas has broad shoulders, and a very strong •U'i enduring physical constitution, hut vve do not “'litre there is a man in Georgia who has should- ,r * broad enough, or a constitution strong enough. * survive, politically, A NOMINATION FOR Got* irnuk tiy the Southern Recorokk. I&obbiug lh«* Noldirric 'Te see it stated in Northern papers that the ■leaiey Sharks of Wall Street are buying up the •urisot soldiers at 50 cts. in the dollar. The Gov- crument has no money now to pay the soldiers, *nd it gives them certificates which are bought tt P by speculators at an immense discount. We ''“Pc there is no such traffic going on among the •‘Hersof the Confelera’e StUeu The tempta- lWa to get a little cash in hand may be two strong Ul be resisted by some : but we trust our Georgia boys will give a wide bettli to these land Sharks, beip-r deny yourselves every comfort and luxury, bxn enrich the pockets of men who speculate up ° n your necessities. While you are engaged in gbtingthe battles of your country, these finan- •ai vultures are hovering over your camps, buntmg prey: fawning and flattering with the lfJn gue, to catch the inexperienced hut gallant *nd patriotic youth of the country. Listen not to * lr syren song. Keep your claims; they are k ’--i as gold. Evey dollar due you by the Con- “Terate States will be paid, to the last cent and M,! bout any deduction. Men who will engage in BJ( h a business, should meet with a stern rebuke m, 7 step they take The Northern heavens ate brilliantly illumina ted with a celestial light which Astronomers call a comet. It is the grandest display in the comet line which cur eyes have ever beheld. We have no id. a how near it has come to us, hut it is near enough. As to the length of its tail, terrestrial measurement would put it down at two hundred yards at least. By Astronomical measurement, it is no doubt several miles in length—-perhaps a hundred million. Its approach to the earth, will be said by some to herald a bloody war, by others, a famine, and by others disasters by fire and flood. But we are inclined to believe that it has happen ed along just at this time, because it couldn’t help it, and will quietly pass away when it gets ready. Its light was most brilliant about 8 o’clock, 1’. M. It is a heavenly display which will delight the lovers of Astronomy, and attract the gaze of thousands and tens of thousands, who have no appreciation of its imposing grandeur or concep tion of its immensity. Tlic Sole in Baldwin. Only 223 votes were cast in this county at the election on Tuesday last. Out of these there were o-iven, for Ratificw ion 175, against Ratifica tion 44. But for the difference of opinion as to the construction of the clause of the new Consti tution touching the representation of three-fifths of our slave population, the vote would have been nearly unanimous for Ratification. The Inferior Court had requested that all voters who were in favor of a tax being levied upon the county to raise money for the support of the soldiers’ fami lies, whose heads were absent on-duty, and but four votes, out of 223, were cast against author izing the Court to levy the tax. The vote was quite small. But we have not four hundred vo ters in the county at present; and one-half of those felt hut little interest in the election, being willing to take either the new or the old Constitu tion as the majority decided. .tlad with the Old Fourth. The Georgia Citizen is down on the Old Fourth of July. We give an extract from the Citizen’s phillipic: The “Elorions Fourth.*’ Our neighbor of the Telegraph, “true as the needle of the pole” is out in favor of keeping the 4th of July, by Southerners, on account of its "historic glory.” We would like to know what the people of the Southern Confederacy have now to do with the old wreck called the United States or with its national ensign—as typified by the bald eagle on top of the Telegraph office—and further represented by tbe National ‘ stars and siripes,” "Yankee Doodle,” Hail Columbia,” Ac. There is more venom iu this extract against the Telegraph, and its “bald eagle,” than there is argu ment against the old Fourth. It is strange to us, iliat any Southern man should be unwilling to celebrate the day on which our independence of Great Britain was declared. W’e should respect it for the glorious principles that day pronounced Because the North lias proven unworthy of the freedom our fore fathers achieved, is that any reason why we at the South, w ho have ever maintained the principles of the Declaration, should turn against the men who saved our liberties, and tho great day on which thoy inaugurated our new Republic? Certainly not. Let us never cease to celebrate the 4th of July, for what it gave us- Let the North mourn over her apostacy. We have lost the North, but we have not lost the 4th day of July !77ti. Tiie Northern people have not only lost us, but they have lost all that was dear to them in • he revolution which gave freedom to tiie American Colonies. Let them cry, and gnash their teeth. They have destroyed the body of our once great government, but the soul is safe. The 4th of July, and the declaration of Independence, thank God, still live. The importance of right credit. We have never been more impressed with the importance of giving credit where it is due, than in the case which we now cite. The Atlanta Intelligencer of the 4th inst., copies an editorial article from this paper, with the caption “Partisan feeling in war times.” The Intelligen cer first places our own editorial in leaded type, thereby claiming it as its own editorial, and then, worse than all, makes us endorse the very article from the Chronicle Sf Sentinel, which our article was intended to condemn. If the Intelligencer can do uo better, we respectfully request that it will hereafter let our editorial columns alone.

The whole affair was man aged with consummate tact. How the big Ape at u ashington and the little Apes all over the coun try, will howl when they hear the news!

We would like to have that dress Col. i liomas wore on the occasion. It will have quite a history one of these days. The Fourth in inillcdgcrille. I lie “glorious Fourth” was celebrated with much spirit in this city. The Baldwin Blues Ju nior, and the Black Spring Rifles co-opeiated iu the celebration. At 10.1 A. M. the military and citizens assembled at the State House where the usual services on such occasions were gone through with. The Declaration of Independence of the United States of Ameiica and the Declara tion of Independence of the State of Georgia were read with clearness and force by Mr. L. Carrington, after ■which an extempore address was made by Maj. Thus. W. White, which was replete with sound sentiments, historical allusions, pa triotic appeals, and anecdotes. After these exer cises the Blues and their invited guests, the Rifles, and a number of our citizens, repaired to a pleasant spot a mile below the city on the Oco nee, where an excellent Barbacue was most effee- ually discussed. Tiie dinuer was sumptuous, and :lie barbacued meats rich; juicy, spicy and sweet. Onr friend Kirkpatrick “spread himself,” and when he does try, all know that Ire can’t be hear in the art of “doing np brown” a tender shoal or fat lamb. After dinner the Blues engaged iu tar get exercise ; and if Abe Lincoln had been pres ent, to witness the shooting of lads hardly tall enough to reach the muzzle of a musket, and then gazed upon the riddled target, he would have de spaired of ever subjugating such a people. A pleasant shower fell which was not heavy enough to interfere with the interesting exercises. The prizes, a silver cup, presented by Mr. Carrington, white plume, and white and blue plume, were awarded by Col. Briscoe, in a brief but stirring address, as follows : The first prize to Mr. John Wooten; the second to Mr. Wm. Fair, and the third to Mr. Joe Beall. The guns used were the ordinary musket, not in very good order at that. The distance, eighty yards, off hand. The best three shots measured 18 inches from the hull’s eye Mr. Wooten’s nearest shot was 2£ inches. The Blues. Jr , deserve much credit for their ef forts to celebrate the 4tli of July, and as one who partook of their hospitality we tender them our sincere thanks for the gratification afforded.

Banks and other corporations will all fail, before the bonds of the Government become worthless. The bonds hear 8 per cent interest. the subject which should urge our people to sub scribe, even if they should not consider the invest ment a paying one: it is this. The Government must have money to enable it to maintain its in dependence. If the money is not subscribed, it will be had by taxation. How much better to land the government the money neede than to have it resort to taxation to raise it, as will be done. In the one case, both principal and inter- large steamer in the employ of the “General Government,” running between Baltimore rptid Washington. The boat started at four o’clock on Friday evening from her wharf in Baltimore. Previous thereto Col. Thomas went aboard with 12 men— the latter as passengers, and their com mander dressed as a French lady. The essel got under way and stopped at point est are safe, and return to the pocket of the sub- Lookout, where according to the plan pre scriber; in the other case, that of taxation, neither principal nor interest ever get hack again Those men who have monev to lend will subserve their own interest, ffnd help their country, by loaning their money to the Government. The Bauks, and the shrewdest business men all over the Southern country, have invested largely iu Confederate States Bonds. A new way of Crlt-brnliii^ -Itii of .lair. Last Thursday, (4th.) a small company of ladies assembled at the Milledgeville Hotel made upwards of three thousand cartridges for the Con federate army. This is a practical, and at the present time, a very useful kind of patiiotism. and, in cur opinion, exhibits a stronger love of independence, and a more active faith in tliesuc- cess of our arms, than any public demonstration which they could have made. We hope these cartridges will speak for them on some important battle field; in a manner direct and forcible, and viously agreed on, Lient. Alexander, with another detachment of men, came on board and secured passage for Washington. By accident (!) Lieut. Alexander went into the cabin of the steamer and recognized the French lady (!) as an old acquaintance from Paris. Both Thomas and Alexander speaking the language fluently, they found no difficulty in maturing their plan of op erations. During the conversation that ensued between the French lady and her acquaintance, instructions were given as to how the part}’ should proceed. The arms, which had previously been carefully loaded and concealed, were made ready for instant possession. At one o’clock on Saturday morning, the time for striking the blow having arrived, Col. Thomas threw off his disguise appeared in his uni form, and ordered hismento do their duty, that each one of them will prove a knock down i the steamer in live minutes was a prize to argument to some abolitionist. “The Arm. of Orargln.” We regret to see, in an article under this head, that the Richmond Enquirer has been misled by some of tho enemies of Governor Brown, and under a misapprehension of facts, has been led to do great injustice to our Governor. In these times of usurpation and misrule, au execu tive who strictly observes the Constitution and laws of his State, and endeavors to make those under his authority obey them, does not deserve the abuse of papers like- the Enquirer, which has for many years professed to. be the champion of States’ Rights. In relation to the arms of Geor gia, Gov. Brown has done no more than the laws of Georgia required of him, and in doing this lie will be sustained by an overwhelming majority of the People. He has never w ithheld the arms of the State from those soldiers which he has sent to the seat of war, and we have been assured that he has promised President Davis, that as long as lie has a man or a gun at his disposal, he will prompt ly respond to all of his requisitions. He has, as was his bounden duty, refused the arms ot the State to adventurers, and those who go to seek their fortunes and fight on their own hook, without his authority or consent. We know not what may be the opinion of Secretary Walker on this subject, hut ice do know that President Davis ap proves and sustains Governor Drown, for we have seen liisapproval, expressed in strong terms, over his own signature.

Go it Abe. For the Southern Federal Union. Caloo.n Mpi-iui;.. Messrs Editors : Permit me through the. col umns of your paper to invite the attention of the health and pleasure seeking public to the, truly wonderful Catoosa Springs. These Springs are- situated in Catoosa-count}’, about 4 miles East of Ringgold, and 2^ miles from the W. & A. R. R. Vistors for the Springs leave the cars at the Catoo sa Platform, where omnibuses and hacks are al ways in readiness upon the arrival of each train to take passengers immediately over to the Springs. The pure mountain air is truly invigorating to tho invalid, and is not had to take for a person enjoy ing good health. The Hotel and Springs are tin der the management of Messrs Harman and Nichols, two as pleasant and agreeable gentlemen as any-one maydeshe to find—and. as for Mr.' Hannan, he is one of the few who possess the pe culiar faculty of making entire strangers feel like they were really old friends. Their table is always supplied with an abundance of the best the country affords. At t lese Springs the invalid will find a large variety of mineral water, the White and Black Sulphur, .the Chalybeate, Mag nesia, Epsem, Lime, Alkali. Ac., all strongly im pregnated with mineral properties. Tiie grounds about the Springs are handsomely laid out with groves, and pleasant walks. The trees and bridges, being neatly whitewashed, presents a- truly lovely scene by moonlight, and pleasant shades by day. There are many points for amuse ment, such as the Bowling Saloon, Billiards, Fly ing Horses, Arc. T hose seeking pleasure eertain- tlie forces of the Confederate States. The Captain aiul crew surrendered without striking- a ldow, and were confined without trouble.—They appeared overwhelmed with surprise. Captain Geo. "N\ Hollins, late United States Navy, who had gone aboard at Point Lookout, then assumed command of the steamer, and ran her in Cone river, ex pecting to meet the Tennessee Regiment and jointly commence further operations against the enemy. The Tennesseans, however, did not arrive on the ground til! late Saturday morning. It was then too late for any demonstration np the river as originally intended, and the steamer was headed down the stream. On his passage she captured two schooners and one brig. Each had a crew of about ten men, who were taken prisoners. One of the vessels was loaded with 3,500 bags of coffee, another with anthracite coal, and another with ice. The steamer St. Nicholas is a first class boat, 275 feet long, side wheel. All of the prizes were safely towed to the mouth of the Rapahannock, and thence to Fredericksburg. Their-value is rough ly estimated at three hundred and seventy- five thousand, dollars. The captains of the respective vessels, with their crews, including several negroes, are now lodged in the prison depot on Main street, in this city. THE CREW OF THE PRIVATEER SAVANNAH. Richmond, Ya., July 2.—The New York correspondent of the Baltimore >Sun, of Saturday last, says that the ofiicers and crew of the privateer Savannah, are com fortably situated in the Toombs prison. They appear cheerful and hopeful of an early release. Military Movements.—The Troup Artil lery, who have been encamped on the edge of our city for some months, leave to day in pursuit of more active operations They .carry with them tlte thanks and best wishes of our citizens. T he German Volunteers, Captain Stei- gen, broke tip their camp yesterday, near Lover’s Lane, and will leave this morning for a point on the coast. Some change will also be made the pres ent week in the position of the Hussars, though it is not yet definitely determined. Sar. Republican L -ith. Rain, Rain /—We have had rain here every day for a week past, not in such large quantities,- as to drown the .crops, yet ample for all the purposes of the agri- ulturist. It is just in the “nick of time.” and will prove a great blessing to the country, as vegetation of all sorts seems to have taken on a new life. Our accounts from up-country are equal ly cheering. Rains have fallen in every section that has been heard frojn and the prospects of abundant crops, of both corn ly cannot find a’place where time will pass r.icrre a!ul eott on, are most flattering. Thus pleasantly than li^re; -nitli a eouii liana ot music, j ° , , and a large and pleasant company, the hours pass j el1 seems to smile upon us, blessing rspidiv away. To the invalid seeking health, the pure bracing air of the mountains, the various kinds of mineral water, the shady groves, the large clean rooms, and attentive servants, will almost make them forget that they are invalids. Nature has done much for these Springs. There are some twenty-four, clear bubbling Springs from which water is drank It so happened when I visited this beautiful place, that it was early in the season, and hut lew visitors were there, but many had engaged rooms for the season The Proprietors will, no doubt, reap a full harvest this season, which they certainly deserve.

Baltimore, Md„ July 2.—Capt Hollins, late of the United States vessel Susque hanna, went on the steamer St. Nicholas disguised as a woman. After the seizure of the St. Nicholas, he and his party captured three vessels laden with ice and coffee, and took them to Fredericksburg, Va. THE CONFEDERATES PIOUS. Johnston Marching on Patterson ! Richmond, July 4.—Passengers who arrived to day from York River Railway and Yorktown, re port affairs quiet, but stormy times expected. Passengers from Manassas, Winchester, and points above confirm" the reported invasions by Generals Cadwallader and Patterson, and state that an action iuid taken place near Martinshurg, between about 7UI) troops under Col. Jackson and 6,000 or 7-.000 Federals troops, in which only two <>r three Confederates were killed and about seventeen wounded. The loss on the Federal side was 42 men taken prisoners, and quite a number killed and wounded. This most probably refers to au engagement reported yesteday. ft is the general impression that if General Pat terson does not retire a bloody conflict wili result, as General Johnston is pushing forward to meet the Federals. Auotlirr Battle iu Virginia. The Confederates Whip, hut both Armies retire. Richmond, Jnly 5th.—A Winchester correspon dent of the Examiner, writing under dat e of Jnly 2nd, night, says: Last night a large body of the enemy crossed the Votomac, some above and some below Williamsport, marching six miles east of Martinshurg. Col. Jackson advanced to meet them. The van guard of the enemy consisted of a company of eighty-five meu, distributed as follows: 15 in front, 3U distant two hundred yards, 40 distant a quarter of a mile. The first 15 surrendered with out a contest; the next 30 fired a few shots and then surrendered; of the 40 remaining four were taken prisoners, seventeen killed, and nine teen wounded. In the meantime, the main body of the enemy came up, and a battle ensued, which lasted an hour and a half, when the enemy retired. Col. Jackson retired near Martinshurg. The Confederates had eight killed and eleven wounded. The enemy had seventy killed, ninety wounded, and fifty taken prisoners. IMPORTANT FROM TIIE CIIIA” FOUR CONFEDERATE SCHOONERS RE CAPTURED ! A Federal Lieutenant and 19 Seamen taken prison ers ! (By the Cuban Telegraph.) Cedar Keys. July 5th.—The schooners Fanny, Basseede and Three Brothers, of New Orleaus, and Olive Branch, of Mobile, which had been captured | hv the Federal steamer Massachusetts, and sent . s prizes to Key West, were captured off Cedar Keys on the 3rd iust., by the Florida forces. I They are loaded with rail road iron and brick, j Lieut. Seldou, of the Federal navy and nineteen seamen were taken prisoners and sent to Talla hassee. The Captain and crews of the lour ves sels are here safe and will be sent home. Iu taking leave of Georgia for a time, the “Troup Artillery” cannot permit this occasion to pass with out publicly acknowledging their indebtedness to his Excellency, Gov. Brown. He has exhibited to the company unform kindness aud courtesy; and a patrio tic solicitude that they should be properly equipped be fore leaving the State.— Sav.

Crittenden—Ihs Crompromisc, etc.—We conversed yesterday morning with a gentleman just from Kentucky, and gathered several items of interest. Mr. Crittenden’s present position, as explained by a distinguished politician, is thus defi ned: He will promise that the Northern Congress shall recognize the Southern Con federacy, and that it shall be submitted to the vote of the people of Maryland, Ken tucky anul Missouri, whether they will join the Northern or Southern Govern ment. If this proposition fails Mr. Crit tenden will return home, and raise the standard of resistance, and on such an is sue, we learn from the, very best informed sources, Kentucky will go for revolution by at least one hundred thousand. The people of the northern portion of Kentucky are represented, to be warmly attached to the Southern cause, and the cause of their delay, as represented, is the unarmed aud unprotected • condition of their border. 13ut, when Crittenden’s proposition fails, the people of Kentucky will rush to arms with a zeal and enthusiasm for which there has never been a parallel. We are assured that Mr. Crittenden’s position is that of an overwhelming majority of the Union men of Kentucky. The position of the Louis ville Journal and of Mallory, is reproba ted as being but a slight roinove from Abo litionism. [ Memphis Bulletin, 28th nit.

They are men that will do to tie to, in any emergency. We wish them every good fortune, in helping to heat back tbe Lincoln invaders. Confederate Finances.—lb W. A., of the Savannah Republican, writing June 25th, at Richmond,gives an encouraging account of the Confederate Finances.—He says—; “The plan proposed by the E.caminer, is to reduce the issues of Bonds or stocks to fives, tens, and forth in order to place them within reach of the poor of the land and is argued upon the basis of the French Government loan as analagous to the pres ent. It is hardly necessary, however, at this juncture to make any alterations in the plans for supporting the Treasury, as I understand that the voluntary sub scriptions, and indeed absolute gift, are of sufficient amounts to preclude any embarrassiuent of tlic finances.” Gen. Garnet.—Tliis officer, who has just gone to Northwestern Virginia, to take command of the, Confederate forces in that region, was a Major in the F. S. army, and has for some years been in Washington Territory. He is a Virginian, and said to be an officer of uncommon^ability, and regarded by Gen. Lee with especial con fidence. Richmond, Va., July 6.—Passengers who reached here late last night report that a skirmish took place at Newport News on Thursday night last bi-twceu 156 Louisianians, under Lieut Col. Dre-ux, and a regiment of New York Zouaves. The Louisianians were outen a scouting expedi tion, vvlieii they encountered the enemy, aud a brisk fire was opened and kept up on both sides for some time. Three of the Confederates were killed, among them Lieut. Col. Dieu'x. The number of tiie enemy killed and wounded is not yet known. Passengers also report heavy tiring in the neighborhood of Newport News yestenlay morti- iug. The Petershurgli Express of this morning re ports the killing of Col. D-Russey, but as Coi. D. left Richmond fur Yorktown on Thursday morning, it is evidently a mistake, and refers to Lieut. Col Dreux, the name of the officec killed. Bnyoufl on the Boiible-Bnrrell Mliot Bun, Our friend Mr. Geo. S- King has shown us a bayonet attached to a double barrel shot gun, which seems to us to supply a deficiency which has hertofure existed in the shotgun as a weapon for warfare. The bayonet is so fixed as. to he secure wheu used, and interferes iu no way- in drawing tho ramrod- We understand he has two other modes of attaching the bayonet t» the the gun, but as he intends applying for a patent foreach of them, we will, not attempt a descrip tion. but merely remark that the bayonet ' with the whole attachment is made of the best cast steel.— Tallahassee Floridian.

But oue now remains under the water, the Dolphin, and we presume she will soon show lierseff on the suiface. The Merrimac, the Plymouth, and the Germantown will he enabled to cope with any of Lincon's craft which may desiie to engage our little fleet. The Traitor Andy Johnson.—This double- dyed villiau reported in Kentucky and Washing ton that ho had been fired upotf tliirteen times in Tennessee by the Secessionists, iu his flight from that State to take shelter under the Lincoln Gov ernment. His inference from his escape without injury is probably that he wears a charmed life ; but he need not lay the flattering unction to his soul. A man horn to Be hung cannot be shot. The Knoxville Register corrects liis statement by declaring that the shots he supposed to have been tired at him, were only shots fired by the Powell's Valley picnic, on the Pinnacle, in salutation of their flag. Johnson thought they were aimed at him. “A guilty conscience needs no accuser.” [Richmond Dispatch. Ciurinnnli 1’iovi-iou .TIarkct.
