WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1862. the war We are learning the art of 'war as thoroughly as any of the old cations of Europe, whioh have made it the end and aim of all their history and govern ment. The Navy Department have just printed in a pamphlet the offioial reports of the naval engage ments on the Mississippi, whioh resulted intho cap ture of New Orieans. Those reports are accompa nied by Borne very interesting maps and sketches, among whioh we observe one of very singular oha- Taoter. This is an aoonrato plan of Port Jaokson, made by some of the assistants of tho Coast Survey, .showing every holo mode by a shell or shot. The entire work and its surroundings are dotted over with these marks, S if sprinkled from a pepper castor. A great deal of the ground near tho fort and wi bin the outworks was overflowed, and no less than three thousand three hundred and thirty nine sholls are computed to have fallen in these parts. Eleven hundred and thirtoon, howovor, were counted in the solid ground of the fort and levees, and oigbty.seven round-shot. -One thou sand and eighty sholls exploded in the air; about seven thousand fivo hundred having been expendod in all. Tho oasomates were oraoked, and in some places broken through, and the outer walls oraoked from top to bottom. A letter from a well known ordnanoe officer says that this map exhibits some thing that was never before attained by the vertical fire of mortars. From an offioial statement, we learn that the total rebel force in the battle of Cedar Mountain was 24,913, (hue confirming our first newß, that tho rebel strength had been exaggerated, as it almost invariably is. Wo said, commenting upon this battle, “the rebel strength has been variously es timated at from twenty to fifty thousand men. The former estimate is probably nearest the truth.’' One of onr greatest faults, in the oonduot of the war, has been: to underrate our enemy be fore an engagement, and to overrate him after. In the offioial statement referred to, Jackson’s di vision is credited with 5,450 men as follows: General Winder, 2 300 ; General Jones, 1,050; General Taliaferro, 2,100. Ewell’s Division oom-> prised 5,063, as follows: Goneral i lzey, 2,150; General Taylor (Hay>s), 2,463; General Trimble, 1,050. General Hill’s Divisioh comprised 10,500, allotted, as follows: General Archer, 2,300; Colonel Williams, 2,350; General Fields, 1,900; Fender’s Brigade 1,750; South Carolina Brigade, 2,200. The total infantry force was, therefore, 21,613. To this must bo added Ashby’s Cavalry, 2,300 strong, and 1,000 artillery men, making a grand total, as above stated, of 24,913. Yet this force was kept at bay during the whole notion by the seven thousand men UDder General Banks.’ So muoh for the “ indomitable valor ” of the enemy, and the strategic skill of StonowallrJaokson. THE NEWS. A complete account of the ba tic at Baton Rouge, whore our forces, although outnumbered, as usual more than ton to one, gained so signal a victory over tho enemy, appears on onr first page. The exports of domestic produoofrom New York continue on a very large scale; for the last three weeks the aggregate is nearly twelve million dol lars. Last week tbe amount was $3,697,657, against $1,687,985 and $1,895,058 in the corresponding weeks of 1860 and 1861. Wool is now higher than it has been for forty four years. This is owing to the largo demand for armygoods, and to the advanced price of cotton. It will not soon fail so low again as it has been of late years; and we shall be surprised if the floofcs upon our New England hills are not greatly in creased. TiiE'business men of St. Louis are getting ready to defend themselves. They havo called a meeting to perfeot a plan for military organization and training, and one part of it is the closing of stores at a certain hour of the day, to allow all persons to improve in military drill. Mr. Corpse, of Henry oounty, lowa, has nine sons, and. has sent eight of them to fight the battles ofhis country. One was in the glorious lowa Ist, and fought at Wilson’s Creek. He has now en listed again. Seven of them are in tho various lowa regiments, or rather six, for cne of them wa3 killed at Shiloh. Mr. O. has home with him on’y one son, about ten years old, too small to go. The Brazilian Government is now discussing tho question of opening the Brazilian ports to tho navies of the world, and of declaring-free trade in all parts of its vast empire. According to private let ters from Rio Janeiro, the measure would exteod to the inland trade all alsng the oonrse of the Ama zon and other great oourecs of water. Mr. John Uqrulev, a member of tho Ist Califor nia Regiment, and a refugee from the South, has furnished us a very entertaining aooonnt of an eight months’ invo'untury sojourn in Seoceaia. We print it in another column. In there is now an average of one thousand one hundred and fifteen deaths per week, and one thousand seven hundred and fifty births. Of the births, nine hundred are boys,'and over eight hundred girls. ; A I’iECE Of* land was recently sold in London at the rate of £1,900,000 per aore—sufficient to cover it with silver equal to half a dollar in thiokness. It is stated that a valuable bed of pure plum bago has recently been discovered near the village of Warrensburg, Warren county, N. Y. : £r a rcoent aot of the New Hampshire Legisla ture, introduced by Mr. Conn, of Portsmouth, oie sewing machine belonging to a debtor, or his family, is exempted from' attachment on mesne process, or levy on execution. Staten Island is all alive with enthusiasm for the war. The people there are 'putting their shoulders to the yheel with sn energy and effort which promise to save them from conscription, A rousing meeting was held at Castleton on Mon day evening, at which the handsome sum of $3,000 was subscribed. • In regard to the suit between the Camden and Amboy and ir Delaware Bay Rai road we learn, by a special despatch from Trenton, that Chancellor Green denies the ’application for a pre liminary injunction, on the ground that the defend ants specifically deny that- the connection being formed is to be used for through business. The Chancellor affirmed the claims of. the joint compa nies to Use entire through business during the pe riod of their Chartered jrivilege, and intimated that he would grant an injunction at onoe if this right was attempted to be violated. The Aid-de-Carap of General Brechin ridge Obeying Orders. 1 very general must have his aid 3; but Ge neral Bkeokinbidge has aids as well as com forters, North and South. He is lucky beyond his years; The chairman of the Breckinridge « Democratic State Committee”, in Pennsyl vania, who enlisted under the Breckinridge banner at Charleston in 1860, has resolved to be worthy of the confidence of his chief. He served him in 1860, and has not deserted him in 1862. The two addresses of Mr. Hughes have in clined many good people to the opinion that he is insane. We'have seen men who fancied themselves great emperors, great physicians, great scholars. But their misfortune was, that nobody believed them to be sensible, how ever they may have believed themselves to be sincere. Such lunatics have many to pity, and few to follow them. Hughes is, however, an exception to an almost universal rule. He has those who con fide in and follow his hallucination that the Constitution is being assailed by the Abolition ists, and that it is the doty of the Democracy to rescue the Constitution from these assail ants. The Southern Democracy, with whom Hughes sympathizes, are ; in the rebel army, led.by John C. BBEOKisaiDGB, They are certainly doing their duty against the Abolitionists. Content with their efforts, Mr. Hughes turns his attention to that other por tion of the Democracy in the North which he leads, and asks them to be equally effective against the Abolitionists. Both the Breckin ridge things agreeing in this war upon a com mon enemy, it is natural that their sympathy for the Constitution should be equally genuine t, Neither Chairman Hughes nor Brigadier Breckinridge believes that the South began this war. That was the work of the Aboli tionists. And whoso disputes this great truth is not only out of the Democratic party, but a •“Black Republican.” The aid de-camp of General Breckinridge in his last order calling for Democratic meet ings in all the counties of the State, closes with the following paragraph: Come, feUow-oountrymen, as yon value the feat' principles of the Constitution—aa you love e Union . of these -States—as you would avert -despotism or anarchy—as it is your right to 'de fend the Constitution against all its foes, and as you have the'power to do so, devote the 17th of .September next to euoh demonstrations of the popular heart as will give moral support to ail the friends of the country and serve to guide the polioy «f the officers of . the Government in opposition to deadly and fatal counsels. I need not add the coun sels whioh the Abolitionists seek to give. Next to the possession of our constitutional rights,wo Should strive to secure-the most thorough observance of or der, and the personal rights of every citizen., 'Our enemies seek to impute to ns a Willingness to produeo, a collision of forces. If, by this, is meant merely a determination to have our rights nnder'tho Constitu tion, at whatever saorifioe, let us assure them that while we feel that toaurrender these rights would degrade our,manhood, and, therefore, no such aur render over will be made, yet as gand citizens we will yield everything but our honor and those rights to avert suoh collision. We will appeal to, we have the right to expeot, and f trust and hope, yea, believe, we shall have the help of the officers of tho Government to aid us in protecting our rights and averting such collision. Let us show these enemies that we well understand the base ness of the hearts that, determined upon monstrous wrong, would persist in suoh wrong, and impute direful catastrophes whioh they may thus oooasion to the friends of the Constitution—of the laws, and, therefore, of the preservation of perfoot order. Standing up, as we do, only to resist aggression upon our rights, upon the heads of tho aggressors must be the responsibility of any oonsequoneor of evil. But, whioh may you, my countrymen, and the officers of the Government oo operating, guided by kind Heaven, avert. F. W. Huamss. From this it appears that Hughes calls his forces together to prevent riots t He antici pates bloodshed at these mootings of his loyal followers. Is ho terror-stricken by the recollection that the only real attempt at popular turbulence. in this State has come from bis own fallow-partisans 7 He may an swer, that after the fall of Sumpter the people rose against the traitors in our midst, this was an outburst to punish the sympathizers with the common foe. Hoes he fear another such outburst ? „ Are he and his followers to prate for the Constitution under guise of hostility to-the .-Union7 - And are they to rußh to arms if exposed and suppressed 7 He may be well assured that the public order will be main tained at all’ hazards, and that none of his disciples will he permitted to mu into violence against the Union, or to find an excuse for violence by provoking others to interfere with them. The « Democrats” of tho Hughes school in tliis quarter,-having received his instructions, are circulating a call of which the following is a copy: MASS MEETING, The undersigned, oitizens of the city of Philadel phia, call upon the Demooraoy and other National Men in said oity, to assemble in Mass Meeting in Independence Square, ou Saturday, August 23d, 1862, at 6 o’clock in the afternoon, preoisely, to express our firm purpose to stand by the mainte nance of the National Constitution and onr devotion to the American Union, and to declare our hostility to the polioy and measures of all who seek to pros titute the country to the purposes of Abolitionism, and to express the intention of the Demooratio Party to do,.as it has always hitherto done, viz.: to support the Fedor&l Government in the exeroiso of its. constitutional power, and to defend it, at whatever peril, against the insidious and treason able teaohings of Abolitionism. 1 Prominent speakers, from this and other States, will be present and address the meeting. We are informed, upon the best authority, that this call, as originally drawn, contained a sentence invoking the Democrats to come pre-" pared to resist violence, turbulence, &p., in the language of the direct instructions of tho aid of General Breckinridge, F. W. Hughes, but the offensive and scandalous invocation to riot was withdrawn when the- projectors of the call were assured it would lead to mis chief. The call as it stands, however; docs not contain one syllable against the robels and tiaitors who seek the life of the Republic and of tho Constitution, and who are taking the lives of our own friends and relatives. The Hughes hostility to tho Abolitionists is so strong that there is nothing said against the trai- ■ tors. The only foe to the Constitution is made the Abolitionists, and not tho armed assassins of the white men of the freo States. To our shame be it said that Pennsylvania is the only State in which appeals so monstrous and trea sonable as that of Hughes have been issued or permitted, and also that Philadelphia is the only city in which such a call as that above quoted- has been signed and circulated. To complete the outrage and to aggravate tho in sult, Independence Square is the place chosen, in which, under guise ot devotion te the Con tituuon, the Union is to be insulted and the Government weakened. Daniel S. Dickinson, a Democrat of the old school, who supported Breckinridge in 1860, defines the difference between tho true men and tho false in this dark hour, in a letter under date of the Ist August, thus: “ My views are, to-day, what they' were when this hell-born rebellion assaulted the glorious flag of our country’s pride and hope at Sumpter—that it must be put down without regard to cost of blood or treasure; put down by tho'strong arm of a Go vernment sustained by tho material power and cheered by the moral energy of a great, free peo ple ; put down upon the theatre it selected for the inauguration of its diabolical treason—the field of blood ; and put down, too, by severing the head of the loathsome serpent from Us body. It is not a mere rebellion or outbreak. It is tho result of a dark and malign conspiracy, conceived and prose cuted by a worse combination of evil spirits than assembled at Milton's ‘lnfernal Conference.’ It will never relax nor yield until it has overthrown the Government or been crushed into the eaVth beyond hope or resurrection; and not only to its overthrow , annihilation, should wo, as a people, address ourselves. “ There can bo, there should be, but two parties to this contest in the loyal States—the first; em- s bracing those who, regardless of all other considera tions or consequences, will prosecute the war and sustain the Administration, for the purpose of pun ishing treason and vindicating the supremacy of the Constitution, and tho other, those who sympa thize with rebellion,, and either justify it by open advocacy or lend it aid and comfort and encourage ment, by nods and winks and stolen glances of ap probation, by ill-concealed apologies for its course, and by assaults upon the Government for proseou ting a war against it.” The followers of F. TV. Hughes and the followers of John G. Breckinridge need no better admonition and instruction than that contained in these strong and eloquent words. Non-Intervention. Apprehension of early intervention may be dismissed. Lord Palmerston declared, at the . close of ,the Parliamentary session, and since at Sheffield, that England had no pretext of interfering in American affairs, no right to do so, no intention of patting herself into trouble by doing so. Lord Russell has given the Liverpool sympathizers a smart rap on the knuckles, which shows his present feeling on the subject. He warned them of the danger and cost of sending supplies to the South, to he got in by running the blockade, and recom mended them not to risk money in such a pe rilous and unlawful trade. Evidently, what ever may have been the intention of the Bri tish Government—and it looked very suspi cious at one time—the present policy is not to meddle with other people’s affairs. Notwithstanding sundry paragraphs to the contrary, there does not seem any good cause for believing that, in this matter, Prance will adopt a different • policy. -The last news men tions an interview between the Emperor Na foleon and Mr. Slideli, described as “ one of the Southern Commissioners,” in which the Imperial interlocutor declared that the time had Arrived when Southern Independence ought to be acknowledged, and that France .had urged this upon England, but without effect as yet. The credibility of this romance is endangered by the notorious fact that Na poleon has not only steadily refused to acknowledge Mr. Slidell • in any. official capacity, but has positively declined seeing ' him at all. Tbe dialogue between the Emperor and the Traitor, however racy, labors under the slight disadvantage of being impossible. Slidell has had no audience, publicly or pri vately, of the Emperor Napoleon since he reached Paris, in the capacity of Southern Commissioner. He pesters M. Thouvenel with a perpetual shower of praying and pressing for intervention or recognition ; but these epistolatory missiles do not receivo the slightest attention.'. Mr. Slidell,, inditing notes at bis residence in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, may fancy himself an approxima tion to an Ambassador, but, in the opinion of every European statesman, he is merely a troublesome bore, whose neck is in safety, owing to the safe distance between it and the scene of his treason, the country which he and his co-mates have betrayed and disgraced. It was asserted, a little’rime ago, that Rus sia, influenced by France, was about suggest ing to our Government the expediency of ending this war, by making terms with ihe rebels. That means, by submitting to their .dictation, and by endorsing their perfidy and robbery as loyal and honest. It was most im probable that, of all countries in the world, Russia wonld act thus—for her policy, some times pushed to 'the extreme, as in Poland, has ever been to put down rebellion with a strong hand and ready weapon. It turns out, on the authority of an official denial published in St. Petersburg, that the Czar not only has no intention of interfering in American affairs, but that he, was never approached on that subject by-the French Emperor. The state ment thus officially negatived is, therefore, a mere canard: as it originated in the Hide-, pendapee Beige, notoriously the greatest story teller of the European press, its character, might have been- conjectured from the first; • - We notice that, at the public dinner’in Sheffield,- where - Lord Palmerston advo cated non-interference in American Af fairs, Mr. Roebuck expressed different views, -strongly urging ’that the claims of the South were such as entitled them to recognition by England as an independent country. We can only say that Southern interests must be at a fearful discount in England. when Mr. Roe buck is their advocate. F or years past this atiabihous little man 1 ; has been the champion of bad causes and forlorn hopes. Nominally a Liberal,And elected to Parliament as such, he has gone so much boyond his party as, like vaulting Ambition, to have leaped over to the other side, and, however he may speak, his votes, on all important questions, are given wilh the Tories. A Queen’s Counsel and a Bencher of tbe Inner Temple, this gentleman never has the good fortune to be entrusted, as a lawyer, with the advocacy of any client’s interests. He is chiefly famous, in and out oi Parliament, for a biting and sharp oratory, which spares neither ally nor opponent. Ho is ever in the extreme—usually winding up by becoming the ohampion of tyranny and wrong. It was John Arthur"'Roebuck, moinbor for Sheffield, who, last year, serious’y eulogized the mildness of Austrian Government—espe cially in Venetia, and complimented tho Ex- Kiiig ot Nspies on the paternal clemency and merciful justice of his reign. His advocacy of “ the so-called Southern Confederacy” can only have the effect of throwing ridicule and contempt upon It. .LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.” Washington, August 19, 1862. The resignation of Governor Magoffin is not in itself an important event. The Legislature of Kentucky, before its last adjournment, took care to take from him tho power of doing any mischief. Ho has virtually been a nonentity in his gubernatorial chair at Frankfort, and did nothing but write insolent letters to Mr. Crittenden and the War Department, and; throw impediments in the way of the military! authorities ot the United States. Many of' his manoeuvres excited much amusement. When Colonel Noble undertook to administer the oath of allegiance to the officers of the local courts at Paducah, tho Governor became extremely indignant, denounced it as an in vasion of the rights of the people of tho State, and demanded the removal of the offending officer. This was his last parox-- ysrn. The invasion of Kentucky by the bandit Morgan had filled the people with alaim. It was necessary that some measures should be taken for the defence of tbo State. A call for a meeting of the Legislature was made. Magoffin hesitated, prevaricated, and reluctantly consented, accompanying-the sum mons with an insolent and angry message, reprinting all the old arguments about State rights, an armed neutrality, united action of tho Southern States, constitutional demands, Federal tyranny, and Abolition. After this he resigned, and a good Union than occupies his place. We shall havo no more of this Border State opposition to the Administration. Magoffin was the first of the Southern Governors to insult .the Government in its hour of weakness, and the first to become obsequious and craven when it exhibited signs of returning strength. How such a man kept out of Fort Warren is a source of wonder.; His ingenuity surpassed his insolence. He invited the raid of Morgan by taking no method to preserve the State when-our army had driven the rebels be yond the borders, and occupied Tonnessee. When that bold robber was attacking Mur freesboro, he sat undisturbed, and wrote letters to the War Department about unfortunate rebels who refusod to take the oath of alle giance. Morgan rode from town to town, . burning, murdering, imprisoning, and plunder ing, but Magoffin took no steps to defend the State. Kentucky was compelled to submit once more to the humiliation of having the rebels in undisputed possession of a great part of its soil, while her own people were passive and non-resistant. Indiana, Illinois, aud Ohio arose in arms for her defence, but she did little or nothing to defend herself. Magoffin sat upon her sword-arm, and it was powerloss. Nor did the General Governmontjiossess the power to compel his performance of a sacred duty. Another principle must certainly be embo died in our reorganized form of government. The men who, shape the legislation of this country, when the war is past, must remem ber that what we want is power and strength. The problem will bo to combine tho forms of a republican government with the powers of a monarchical government. What I mean to say is this: that tho republic must bo so organized and protected that it can defend itself as well from foes within as from foes without. W» cannot ex pect always to dwell in peace. The life of our nation will not always be a pleasant summer’s day. I think I can trace a great part of this rebellion to .the weakness and timidity with which it was first treated; and it is not too much to say, that our woaliness and timidity were in some degroe occasioned by the irresponsibility of the executive power. We must concentrate and centra lize our national forces. When this is done we shall have liberty and law; we ■ shall be free, and possess the power of pre scrvmg our freedom; we shall be the model Republic of the world. Mighty and respected, like Rome in her greatest days, we shall be free from the errors and vices which corroded the heart of tho Roman Republic, and ended in its decay and death. Magoffin’s resignation is a reluctant .con cession to this principle. He was an apostle of State rights, and, as such, he has been banished from his gubernatorial chair, and sent into obscurity. With him wo have the end of everything that looks to a State antagonizing the Administration. With him we have the end of an old, an inefficient, and a false policy. Experience teaches us that the new one is the true one, and Ihe , sooner we adopt it the better, for ourselves. Letter from Harrisburg, . / [Correspondence of The Press.] . Habbisbueo, August ID, 1862. ARRIVAL OF FRESH TROOPS—SKETCH OF THE CAMP. Fresh volunteers are arriving daily.. There is a constant stream of men rushing to the great-rendez vous, Camp Curtin. From undoubted authority we;learn;that there is not less than 12,000 men now encamped at this .place. Regiments are leaving at the rate of two a day, yet, the ory is still they come, 1 aafreeh reoruita march in to fill up their places. I visited the camp and learned a few facts that may be interesting to the general reader. Camp Curtin was formed August 1,1861, and is situated about a mile outside of the city proper. It is re ported to encompass over 40 acres. The enclosure Is thickly studded with tents and wooden barracks— these latter being ocoupied. by the thrje-years men, of whom about 400 are’ now in camp; ” This camp of rendezvous is known as the Eighth Army, Corps, and is uhder the gencraV auperintendencß of Major General Wool, Captain Tarbutton is the ■epnimandant, Ho is a. very affable, gentlemanly officer, and is well suited to the important post he - now fills. - Considerable trouble has arisen in the oamp by the neglect of the offioers of the different companies and squads in prepart ing their men for their departure to the seat of war. Major General Wool has, however, issued an order which has produced the desired effect. [This order wo have already published.—■Ed.J The 129th Regiment left Camp Curtin this morn ing, and the 125th Regiment left this afternoon at 5 o’clock. The 127th and. 128th leave to-morrow 1 (17th), and four other regiments are completed and will be on their way to the seat of war by Monday evening. These regiments are all nine months men. 1 CONFUSION—A CANARD. There is great oonfusio a caused by the constant arrival and departure of troops. Some of the sol diers on tiie'oamp ground informed us that some sixty men were poisoned by eating pies which they bought from a woman who was selling them on the ground, and another positively stated that he had cut an apple in pwo parts and found a large lump of strychnine in it. The post surgeon of the oamp, J. P. Wilson, contradicts the statement as a wicked fabrication, and. informed us that the camp was unusually healthy, and that there had not been a single , death in camp, or any riekneas, excepting a few mild‘oases of cholera morbus caused by eating unripe fruit or vegetables, ainoe the gathering of the recruits now in camp. AMUSING,: INCIDENT. The camp ground is the soene of many amusing inoidents. Upon arriving at the entrance-gate to-day, we asked to see Captain Tarbutton, the commandant. The sentry did not know him, but told us to go to a large building about tbe centre of tho gronnd and we might find him there. Arriving at the place designated, we were about to enter when we heard the word halt, given in stentorian tones, and on casting our eyes around 'to see from whence the sound proceeded, we found one of our brave Teutonic so'diers pointing: his bayonet at us and motioning us to back out. Uoon questioning him as to the whereabouts of ; the com mandant, the only answer we could obtain was “ Niohte forstheye.” Finding it Impossible to gain; any information from him, we proceeded down the long row of tents and took a survey of their dodu pants. In one tent, marked “ Wyoming Tigers,” (by the way, all the tents have names given them0 f was a party of volunteers striking up the pathetio ba'lad of “ The Girl I left behind mein another the occupants were busily engaged writing letters to loved ones far away; a little farther on was a stout son of the old Keystone delivering the mar tial speech of .“King Henry before the walls of Harfleur’ ’ 'to a orowd of admiring friends—and so on down the. whole array of a general feeling of good will seemed to predominate. , - ; VISIT FROM THE GOVERNOR. ' Governor Curtin' and Adjutant General Russell THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 20. 1863. Occasional. were on the camp ground this afternoon; they were greeted by hearty oheers. Weil may we ba proud of euoh a Governor. He is beloved by every, son of Pennsylvania, whether in the poison ous swamps of the Chlokahominy, the sands of Key West, tho mountains of Virginia, or here in Camp Curtin. Eight Months in the “Xand of Cotton.” WHAT A PHILADELPHIAN SAW AND HEARD THERE. His Escape from Raleigh) IT. C,, Jail. A HOMEWARD TRIP, VIA EAST TENNESSEE, Mr. John Gormley, a member of Company —, of the Ist California Regiment, Col. Wistar, readied this oity on Sunday from the South, whenoo he hag managed to escape, only after enduring eight months of imprisonment, ill-treatment, and priva tion. Mr. Gormley has furnished for our columns the annexed statement of the terrible experiences through which be has passed : On the 12th of July, 1861, I was takon prisoner with a comrade at Hampton, neat Fortress Monroe, while out on a blaoKborrying exoursion. We were taken to Yoiktown, kept there several days, and then transferred to Richmond, and placed in the tobacoo warehouse on Main street. . A CONVERSATION WITH JEYT DAVIS. ' One day, who should oome stalking into my cell but Jefferson Davis, who, to ge: a ohoap reputation for philanthropy, occasionally visited the prison. ii, “ My friend,” said he, “ what are you fighting ffor?” ' I aaswori d him : “ For the Union, for the Con stitution, and for the enforcement of tho laws against rebellion in every section of the oountry.” “Oh ! oome, be honest with me; aint you fight ing for the old stars and stripes, more than the Constitution?” “ Mr. Davis,” I answered, “ myself and our whole army fight for the Constitution, with the-stars and stripes.” He was silent for awhile. At length he observed: “Yon oan better your situation at once, if you want to. I’ll tell you what lam willing to do for you, and I would not make the same proposition every day. If you join our army. I will guaranty not only to release you this evening, bat give you a commission. I answered: “I would rather be a prisoner in your jail than an offioer inlyour army.” ’ “ Tes, yes, you are prejudiced against us, now; but you’ll find us a different set of people than your papers have represented us. Why, the South can never be subjugated ! It’s impossible !” With that he turned away, and presently was buzzing in the next cell—as I afterwards learned, repeating his “proposition.”' My comrade.an swered him. substantially as I had done; and we saw no more of Presidont Davis. WE START TO.RALEIGH. After remaining in the tobacco warehouse four days, we were removeditto Raleigh, N. C. Here, for the first few days, tho ladies treated us with remarkable courtesy and kindness, furnishing and cooking us provisions. ' Gradually the enthusiasm in our behalf abated, and .ciur rations began to ' dwindle down to two meals per day. On the Bth of November I oame to tho conclusion that this wa3 justifiable ground for attempting an escape, and so the atoropt was made. We had been confined, with forty other Union prisoners, in the “agricultural department” of an enclosure that had previously been used asafair ground. Guards being stationed all around this building, escape was no easy matter, but our oonstant presenoo had en gendered familiarity,tif not confidence, between us,- and by degrees their vigilance, like the rations, dwindled down. So on the day above mentioned, four of us climbed a fenoe fourteen feet high, and out off. Striking a-, road that ran northeast, we tramped along about two miles, and then took to tbe woods.-; Through the woods by day, and along the highways by night, guided only by the pole star. . So wo ..traveled, half famished on our way, and dreading'apprehension constantly. Next day, as luok would have, wo mot a negro boy coming down a path leading through the woods to a plantation. He stared at us in a half-stupid, half-suspicious manner, but Bhuffled along whist ling ai lively air, that completely disarmed our fears of him. All that day it was tramp, tramp, tramp, and .precious little to cat but a few per simmons horo and there. After halting awhile to rest, we resunied our journoy after nightfall, glad that wo had got thus far, aid fearful that we oould not manage to elude pursuit muoh farther. Suddenly, on the road behind us, oame the “ clack ity-oiack” of a horse’s heels. We were pursued boyond a doubt! Crouohicg dowa beneath the hedge that skirted the road, we lay awaiting the resu.t. The tramp of hoofs grew fearfully distinct, and in a few minutes a detachment of twenty-five mounted men, headed by tho sheriff of Wake county, oame trotting by. We could hear them conversing, so close were they to us. The sheriff, who led the van, remarked assuringly to the - others: “ A nigger boy seen ’em in the woods, and they oan’t be far ahead.” This inference was fair enough, but 1 thanked Heaven that his logio was so muoh at fault as to lead kim past our lurking place. ’ ■■■• ■ - 1 1 .

About midnight we came to a dwelling. One'’ of our number soaled the fence, gently broke in the door, and reported the disoovory of about fifty bushels of the edibleE, one bushel of which we confiscated.. Having eaten as much as we wanted, we lay down and slept sonndly'until daybreak. We rest with the sub, and held a oonnoil of war to disouss the “situation.” It was finally decided that one of us should got out in the road and make a reoon noissanoe in force, come weal or woe as a conse quence.

Having got eighty miles from|Ra-. leigh, we fancied ourselves safe; but the sheriff had put the whole, country on thff ibokJout for us, and in a short time we were surrounded by 150 rebel cavalry, • were manaoled and plaoed aboard the train under guard, who conduoted us to our old quarters.

As he came within gunshot he epsned bn ■her, and probably soon disabled, some of her machinery or steering apparatus, for she became unmanageable, continuing; however, to fire her gnns at the Essex. Com mander Porter says he took advantage of her presenting : a weak front towards.him, and loaded a gnu with incen diary sheila. Alter his flret discharge or this projectile, a gDBh -of fire came out bf her side; and from that mo ment it was discovered that -she was on fire, which he - continued his exertions to prevent from being extin guished. They backed her ashore, and made a line fast, which: soon burnt, and she swung off. into the river, where, she continued to burn until she blew, up, with a tremendous explosion, thuß endingthe career of the last iron-clsd ram of the Mississippi. There were many persons on the banks of the river Witnessing the fight, in which they anticipated a triumph for Becesalon; bnt on the return of the Essex not a son! was to be seen.
