MONDAY, NOVEMBER IT, 1862.
Foreign Summary.
Those ivljo are interested in the future
of Italy may like to learn that Napoleon’s
final decision is to continue his support of
the Pope, in Home, without any territorial
power save in that city and a small fcir
cle around it, and Civita Vecchia as a
port. This would recognize the posses
sion, by Victor Emmanuel, ot what used to
be marked on the map as “States of the
Church,” but on the condition that Rome
shall remain the seat of the Pontificate, and not
be claimed as capital of the Kingdom of Italy.
Thus, Victor Emmanuel would rule over the
whole of Italy, except Borne and Venetia,
and, before long, most probably, Austria
would be disposed to part with Venetia, for:
pecuniary and other considerations, and thus
Italy would virtually 'be free from Alps to
Appends. To all appearance, it will be
difficult* in selecting the future 'capital of
Italy, to satisfy conflicting interests. Rome
being out of the question, for the present, the
choice would seem to be between Milan, Flo-"
rence, Turin, and Naples—none of which are
sufficiently central. That, however, is not
very Important—London, largest of European
cities, is situated in the south, of England
Edinburgh and Dublin are on the east coasts
of Scotland and Ireland ; Paris and St. Peters
burg on the north of France and Russia, and
so on with other capitals. It is expected that
in a short time, Prince Humbert, the King of
Italy’s eldest son, will govern Naples as.
Viceroy, provided that the war against' the
brigands, who are the scourge of what was,
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, be
ful. Had the conduct of this war been en
trusted to Garibaldi, the brigands would pro
bably have been routed, and destroyed or
dispersed long ere this. The health of Gari
baldi is stated to be most precarious, and it is
doubtful whether amputation of his wounded
leg above the ankle will not be necessary to
preserve his life. '
The King of Sweden, keeping pace with the
growing demands of most European peoples,
and probably influenced by the liberal example
of his neighbor, the Emperor of Russia, an
nounces reduction of the national} expendi
tures, the amelioration of the judicial system,
the substitution of conscription for voluntary
enlistment in the army, and general though
gradual reform in various administrative de-,
partments. '
The King of Prussia pursues the. uneven
tenor of hi* way. Like Louis the Fourteenth,
of France, he is occupied by the Idea that he
is the State—that his personal will ought to
be superior to Law and Constitution. He sets
aside the decision of his Parliament with, an
easy coolness which would do credit to the
nonchalance of Robert Macaire, and, while he
sets the law at defiance, and treats the, Consti
tution as mere waste paper, evidently thinks
himself a very ill-used man. It is his boast
that he “reigns by the grace of God,” and
that he is to bo tried only by his own con
science. He stands almost alone. His own
son, and probable successor, has deserted
Mm, and he remains the King opposed to the
whole Prussian nation. It is about time for,
the people whom he misgoverns to send him
to keep company with Otho of Greece, Fran
cis of Austria, and the deposed rulers of
Tuscany, Modena, and Parma.
The French Government has given \fjij/
strongest assurance to Spain that it has n.qsn
-Jg-Mnnlof making Mexico a French colony,
\lb t.jv
Globe and. other semi-official organs of Lord
Palmerston, that Lord Lyons took no special
instructions to Washington, and that there is
not the slightest ,prospect or intention of inter
fering, in any way, in the American contest.
Mr. Spence, the Liverpool pamphleteer and
polite letter-writer extraordinary of the Times,
has started a new idea, viz.: that {{ the State
of Virginia was acknowledged by England as
an independent sovereign community before
the great majority of the,.Northern States had
any existence; that when the independence of
the Colonies was acknowledged, of which she;
was the oldest and the chief, they were not
acknowledged as provinces of a Union, but
each of them severally and, distinctly as inde
pendent communities,” and that Virginia
never lost this independence, never was con
quered, and never abdicated “ that sovereignty
of her people and lapsed into a province.”
Against these startling assertions that the
independence of the thirteen United States,
as a body, and not as distinct provinces, was !
acknowledged : by England in the treaty (of j
1782-’B, and that England took a strange way
of acknowledging the independent sovereign
community of Virginia, inasmuch as with
scarcely any interregnum,' from the first - set
tlement, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth,
until the flight of Lord Dunmore, in the sum
mer of 1776, that province was always ruled
by an English governor. j
The distress among the Lancashire opera
tives had so mfleti increased that, by Chrik
mas, 1,000,000 of thorn will be supported
wholly out of the poor-rates. The Interna
tional Exhibition, which was scarcely eqxal
to its predecessor, the World’s F&ir of .18-jl,
has closed, and will be reopened for one sa.y.
in January,'when the Prince of Wales, immedi
ately before his marriage, is to distribute the
prizes. His mother had returned 1 to England
from Germany, in comparatively good health
and spirits, and the rumor of her intending to
abdicate in favor of her son is treated as a
palpable canard. She is just as likely to mai ry
again as to abandon her sceptre.
Those who knew Sheridan Knowles in
this country, in 1884-5, may regret to learn"
that he is suffering from severe and, it is ap
prehended, dangerous illness. He was sta r
ing for some time at Matlaek, in Derbyahir
but, on account of increasing debility, was
removed to Torquay, in Devonshire, a marine
seclusion which, from its genial climate, is
considered the Montpelier of England. Mr.
Knowles is in Ms seventymmth, : year, kua
having been born on May 12th, 1784:, i? ■fi' rc
( - rq o j a c
year having been granted him in
1847, and the nightly fees for performing his
plays yielding him. a considerably larger in
come. Soon after he was pensioned, be be
came a Dissenting Minister, in which capacity
he preached strongly against the stage,
ibough, with palpable inconsistency, he con
tinued to receive large annual emoluments
from his ow» plays—so difficult is it, at times,
to make theory and practice assimilate. ,

Sir: This morning, At two o’clock, Forrest’s rebel
cavalry, numbering about 3,000, made an attack on our
jrtckc t liie on the south, between the Franklin and
Lebanon pikes. The picket line, on the Murfreesboro
road gtaSually withdrew with the purpose of bringing
the enemy under the guns of Fort Hegley, two of which
were opened upon the enemy, and speedily drove him
beyond the range.
Almost simultaneously with the attack on the south,
John Mortan’a forces, twenty• fly's hundred strong, with
a piece of artillery, made a aa h on Colonel Smith’s 001 m

LETTER FROM NASHVILLE.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.] .
Nashville, Nov. 11,1862,
The forts in,Nashville are the most complete of the
kind in the country.
“Fort Negley,” situated on Bt. Olond Hill, Is the
masterpiece, and was constructed almost entirely by
negroes, under the engimsership of Captain Morton, a
Philadelphian. The work covers nearly twelve acres
of ground, and communication is carried on by means
of subterranean passages from one portion of the fort
to another. In. the centre is a fine stockade, capable
of garrisoning a foil regiment. The fort mans four
: thirty- two pounder steel gnns, called the Rodman, and
said to be the best pattern in existence; four very heavy
gnns, which our troops took at Doaeiaon, two of them
large enough to throw a sixty-four solid shot, and a bat
tery of field pieces, making fourteen guns in all. The
Bodmanßßreprpteotedby abomb-prcof arrangement, in
vented and built by Captain Morton. The hill is a most
commanding eminence, and would successfully stand a
most severe shock. An artesian well is being mode, the
boring having already descended nearly a hundred feet.
Parallel rifle pits encircle the WU, while, still extended, are
obstructions to delay a cavalry charge. Although Chief
Engineer Merton planned and personally superintended
the work, Hen Negley deserves great credit for many
valuable additions and improvements.
«> Fort Confiscation V is inferior in beauty and gene
ral appearance, but superior in point of eminence and
situation. It is erected on Jones’ Hill, upon the Frank
din pike, embraces a fine stockade and oarthworks, and
ls/surrcunded by breastworks of cotton bales, whioh ex
tend te “ Fort Casino,” situated in the rear, and Is
foitifled, not so much for offensive as defensive ope
rations.;Both bills mount- six -rifled steel guns called the
“;Wiord,” and garrison one regiment of infantry.
■><Fort Andy Johnson” is the name of the splendid
works upon Capitol Hill. The stockade completely Eur
roundstbe structure, and is held by the Ist Tennessee
Infantry Regiment? The fort proper mounts four thirty
two-pounders and two howitzers.
Besides the grand work, there are four redans, mounting
a 12-pound howitzer each The redans serve as im
ptrtant auxiliary forts, and resemble, in outward ap
pearance, bugo prows. One is named “Fort Browning,”
after Mr, Wm. A. Browning, the Governor’s private se
cretary. A second is named “ Fort Dindsley,” in honor
of the son of the postmaster. The other two are named
after the correspondents of the Philadelphia Prets and
New York BtraHA. Bosides these defences, the whole oity
is encircled with parallel rifle pits and breastworks of
cotton bales.
- During the last ihreemontbs the prices of provisions
•have been enormous. : Until the arrival of the army,
'eggs have said as high as one dollar a dozen; butter a
dollar end fifty cents a pound ; potatoes a dollar and
•twenty-five cents a peck, and all kinds of vegetables at
'■ fabulous rates. Wood has brought, on several occasions,
twenty dolterß acord.'and coal a much higher price per
’ton. Bat the arrival of the sutlers has brought down
: everything in the way of provisions, and the chances are
that a poor man may once more purchase the necessaries
° f The reader, by referring to Lloyd's map, will find, in
the State of Tennessee, a road balled the" Nashville and
Northwestern' railway. This road, however, has never
been constructed; hut the iron and sleepera have jjill been
ready for the engineer for more- than two years. The
entire road, with the exception pf two miles, has been
graded. The importance of .immediately putting thii
road in running order, in the present criris, is incalcula
ble, Tho entire length of the route, from Nashville to
the Tennessee river, is but seventy- two miles, extending
through an unfavorable.- country for guerillas, and
. crossing but six small streams The Bum of two millions
bf dollars has been spent upon tho enterprise by its pro
jectors, and, with the aid of contrabands, seventy thon-__,
' sand dollars, at most, is deemed a sufficient amount to
complete the work. Chief Engineer Morton believes
that the road can bo put in running order in ninety
days, white others would be willing to contract to finish
it in sixty-five days for sixty thousand dollars. The Im
portance of the work should attract the attention of the?
authorities. , .
The ciKarteraaeter’a department al Nashville, for
Beyer si months past, has been, and Is now, in many re
spects, a fool institution. Borne time ago, through the
Influence of Major.. Anderson, a young man, named
Bicbaid Stevenson, hailing from Indianapolis, with a
reputation of being extraordinarily fast upon a small
calory, was appointed Quartermaster at this post, with
the rank of captain. He at once made and cultivated
the acquaintance of Secessionists, to the great an
noyance of Union citizens and soldiers. Captain
Stevenson appointed es clerks several members of the
19th Illinois, and the crowd of thieves was complete.
They ail “ own,’? and are oonttnusiiy driving abont the
oitycbloodedho'rses. Btevenson drove an eighteen hundred
dollar' teaiui gave suppers, and indulged in many ether
evils, • which need not be mentioned. Upon several oc
casions he turned poor Union, people out of their homes,
which had been provided for them by Gov. Johnson, and
■ xtp tna houses to rebel owners, treating, at all
times, the letters of censure sent him by the Governor
-wuih silence. ago he was taken
of dis«affiS?;^_°““ o^.‘"J) - 7 '
request he' wbb rSfi SfiL - bottSB of a notorious
role!, and shortly afterward died. His Temwim, wore ac
cohipanled to Indianapolis by one Billy Craig, an ex
cohtracior for the Confederate army. Humors of stu
pendous frauds axe being confirmed by the fact that
Stevenson’s accounts fell short some sixty thousand
dollars. To give an idea of the complexion of the
establishment at present, let me state that a fow weeks
ago one of the clerks fired bis pistol into a serenading
party who were playing “Yankee Doodle.” He was
immediately arrested by Mayor Smith, who was one of
the party, and taken before the proves; marshal, and the
scoundrel Safenned that offieialthat it “ grieved him to
see the ladies In his neighborhood insirifrci.”
Since iheoccupatlon of Hashville by our forces, no
thing has so much encouraged the Confederate cause as
. the successful smuggling which has been carried on, and
moßily, too, by foreigners. The two articles mostly taken
bey ond our lines ar e aninlne and firearms, especially the
former, and several Jews hare been taken with the above
mentioned things on their persons.
The removal of General Buell gives universal satisfac
tion throngbout the Army of the West. At his court
martial, it is hinted that he will he aided by Kentuo
kiansj and will endeavor to prove that his failure in
Kentucky was the reßult of following the suggestions
cf Administration politicians, who deemed it impru
dent for him t o bring on a battle with Bragg until after
the elections
Great confidence, however, Is placed in Gen. Brae
crane. That Generali after massing supplies in this city,
will immediately move towards Bast Tennessee, in at
least two directions—by way of Kingston and Chatta-
nooga. He will travel fast after onoe the march begins,

Celonel Bruce, the gallant Kentuckian, whe has been
in command at Bowling Green for thepastfivemonths,
has been relieved, and ordeioi to Buseolvllle, and from
thence “ to any place in Southern Kentucky where he'
muy choose to go.” The Colonel has in his new com
mand his old cavalry, about three thousand in number,
four regiments of infantry, and two sections of artillery.
1 think he wiU make Morgan very nnoomfortable, if he
doss not succeed In capturing him. General Granger
Will take command at Bowling Green.
The decrease of discipline in Buell’s army of late Is
painful. The men are falling into one very bad habit,
that of straggling; and unless stringent measures
are at once adopted to prevent such things, the
-whole condition of the army will be affected by* it.
Stragglers will steal/ Therefore, if oar army is
to occupy on honorable position, let these irregular
soldiers be attended to, and punished if they peratßt In
brt ahing one of the strictest of military rules.
The most intense suffering has prevailed among a class
known as Union reingees since Bnell’s retrograde move
ment. Hot wishing to share the worst, these poor peo
ple, who had made themselves obnoxious to their rebel
neighbors throughout'the State of Tennessee and North
ern Alabama, bundled what they could/left houses and
lands, and followed the army as far as Hashville. Here
they have remained in awful suspense, but are now
making preparations to return to their homes.
The entrance of McCook’s corps d’armie into this
city caused great rejoicing; and as the mass of Union

FROM GENERAL GRAN t'S ARMY.
Chicago, Nov. 16.—A special despatch, from La
grange, Tennessee, dated yesterday, says that five regi
ments of rebel cavalry advanced last evening from Daw
kin’s Mills to within tea miles of- Holly Sptiagß. Skir
mishing commenced, and continued for some time. The
enemy lost six killed. Seven commissioned officers were
captured.
The rebel General Yliliphjue died at Port Helena a few
days ago, of pneumonia.
The Advance to Lagrange, Mississippi—The
Situation in the Southwest.
As a great deal of the attention of the public is now di •
reeled to the advance of Gen. Grant’s army in Mississippi,
the following extracts from the letters of correspondents
of Western journals will ba found to be interesting, as
giving an insight into the movements of Gen; Grant and
the rebel forces opposed to him. A correspondent of
tho Cincinnati Commercial says:
THE SITUATION-
I have no change to notein the situation sincetbe date
of my last letter. General Hamilton's command is still
at Grand Junction, and General McPherson's at La
grange. Hamilton’s army (arms the ioft wiog, and Mc-
Pherson’s the right, at proeent; bnt iTShennan’s colamn .
arrives in time to participate in the. impending: contest,
McPherson's will form the centre and Sherman's the
right Price and Van Horn are reported still at Gold-
Water, five miles this side of Holly Springs. They have
fortified to tome extent, as IT in determination to make a
stand there. Secessionists in.tbis neighborhood: tell ns
that a portion of Bragg’s army is marching to reinforce
Van Horn, but this is not believed at headquarters. To
'Say nothing of .the fact that Bragg’s army cannot possi
bly he in a condition te make rapid marches} after Ms*
long tramps through Tennessee and Kentucky, it is very
doubtful whether the wary Braxton would consider It
safe'to reduce his force, which, by Us recent aotion, he
confessed was inadequate to the task of meeting the Army
of the Ohio., Eoßtorars has certainly too much respeot
tor his recently - acquired laurels to permit such a thing,
. while he has a great and powerful army, to prevent it.
As matters now look, it is fair to presume there will be
a battle at Gold Water wfthln two weeks. The rebels, if
defeated, will fallback to: Granada, perhaps to Jackson,
Mississippi. A i few prisoners, taken yesterday, state
that the rebels ezpect to fight General Giant at Gold
Water, and that they feel confident of victory. But;
they have always been confident, and we have now be
come pretly well accustomed to their confidence games.
The correspondent of the Missouri Democrat, from La
Grange, November 9th, says:
Couriers in from the front this morning bring de
spatches from General MoPherson to General Grant, say
ing that there was a skirmish yesterday near Lamar, on
the Central Mississippi Bailroad, between Gen. Bau
man’s column and a rebel force, which resulted far a ten
to the rebels of fifteen killed, fourteen or fifteen wounded,
and a hundred and four teen taken prisoners. I was un
able to get ihe particulars of the affair, but judge from
the fact teat only two of our men-aoMpported to b»
wounded end none reported killed, that it was some
small body of the rebels that were surprised, and probably
only fired a volley before they were overpowered and "
captured. Some of the prisoners were in Holly Springs
on yesterday morning. They corroborate the statements
of the prisoners who came in yesterday morning, inas
much as that orders had been given for the evaouaiion of
Holly Springe, as long ago as Wednesday, and that Gsn.
Price, who was in command on Wednesday and Thurs
day (Van Born having gone away a day or two before),
waspreparing to leave, and. had, iedeed, already sent
away a portion of tho troops, when General Pemberton,
coming up from tbe South with reinforcements, met them
on the way, turned them all back, and assumed command
at Holly Springs.
It is very little use to atb prisoners about the force of
the enemy ; from anything that they may say, one can
arrive at no approximate figures. But the very fact of
tbeir having once commenced the evacuation of Holly
Springs shows that they were weaker than they were
supposed to have been. We have no knowledge yet of
what reinforcements Pemberton brought with him. They
may have been light, end be hive ordered ihereturn for
tbe same ...'reasons that he once before, tu Virginia, op
posed.a retreat; viz: that there was as good a place to
fight as any. .
The despatches from General Meßherson state that
General Quimby’s column had not arrived at Lamar,
which Is only six or seven; miles from here, at half past
eight o’clock this morning. Theyjahould have reached
there by roon yesterday. - Bath last night and this
morning, couriers were Bent out by General McPherson
in every fiirebtibn, but could see. nor hear nothing_of the
column.: No firing; however, has'been heard, and they
must undoubtedly be somewhere in tbs great basin of
which we have such a commanding view from this point.
Scouts her couriers could beable to see nor hear no trace
cf them, though constantly on the search for fifteen
hours. It Is supposed, however, that they may have
taken the wrong road, and that to-day will reveal their
to where he is located; and probably at once fijainsouy
Springs. The break Ib the railroad is repaired,.and the
loeemolive reached this place from Bolivar this morning.
Another correspondent say s:
ConiSTH, Miss, Nov. 10 —Whatever the faclß are that
caused tbe change* sufficient is it to know that one has
taken place, and. instead of tbe “masterlv inactivity”
wbicb pervaded this army previouß to the battle ot Inks,
we have now some hopes that a vigorous and decisive
campaign has been decided on, and will* be carried out.
The first intimation we had that-the inooming winter
was likelyto be devoted to active movements was on the
lEt inst, when the three divisions lately belonging to the
“ Army of the Mississippi,” under Generals Hamilton,
Stanley, and Quimby, left this point for Grand Junc-
tion, which place was: reported to be evacuated
by the rebels. Simultaneous with this movement,
General Grant, with the sub dlvlsong of Gene
rals Ord, Burlbnrt, and McPherson, left Jsck
lon and Bbllvar, while General Sherman left Mem
phis with a respectable force, ail four of these divi
sions being evidently bound for the same destination as
the force that left here. On Tuesday, the 4th instant,
the advance of General Ora’s division entered Grand
Junction, driving out some oavalry, who had just re-,
turned from a scout from toward Bipley, and captured
eleven of their number. In the evening, General Hamil
ton’s column passed through the J unction, and that night
General Grant had his line formed about three miles
south of the town, biß own column occupying the centre,
that of General Sherman tho right, and General Hamil
ton’s veterans occupied the left, the whole army being
designated as the Army of West Tennessee, and the dif
ferent divisions as the right whig, left wing, and centre.
The army remained in this position up to the Bth instant,
awaiting their supply and baggage ttsins, which had
been left behind, to expedite tho march to the Junction.
Ere this, they have probably reached them, and then
they move forward to Holly BpriDgs, where the rebels are
reported to be awaiting our arrival. Whether they will
wait long enough to give us battle, however, remains to
be seen. To- morrow morning Igo forward to rejoin the
column. Twill thus be able to keep you more punctually
posted......

Savannah to’ be Defended to the ' Bast—Gov.
Brown, of Georgia, .Still Digging—Counter

Address of Gen. Mercer to the Planters, etc.
The Savannah Republican]of the sth sayß: “ It has
generally been resolved on, both by the army and our
citizens, to defend this city, and to yield possession to
the invader only when its walls shall have bßen battßrei
down and nobody left to dispute bis entrance ”
Two men were brought to Savannah from Columbus,
Georgia, charged with uttering and passing counterfeit
money of the Confederate States.
H. M. Mercer, brigadier general commanding, issues
an address to the planters of Georgia, saying that be has
received from several counties in thr State requests and
demands that he should return their negroes now working
upon the fortifies'ions of Savannah. It is his sincere and
earnest desire to do so; butiva thinks it an injustice to
those who have sent their negroes, at his first call, that
they should be compelled to bear the whole burden and
heat of the day, while others who are among the
wealthiest of the land look calmjy on the danger of the
city and State, without contributing a singlelaborer from
tbeir hundreds ortheir thousands for their defence.
Let those citizens whose vital interests are at stake,
and who havo done thrir.sharo towards the common weal,
rise up and compel these backsliders, end especially the
rich among them, to do their part. As soon as those
who have not contributed send him a sufficient number
to fill their plaoes, he pledges himself to send back to
their masters the negroes who are now at work. Until
this is done, necessity compels him to retain them.
Governor Brown renews the call for negroes to .com
plete the fortifications around Savannah. If they are not
furnißbed promptly, they will be Impressed.
Pbincbtok (N.J), Sov, Is —Yesterday, tho citizens
nj-_villiM weieJbrewn into a state ot extraordinary
excitement, irom the fact that one of our most respecta
ble ii-habitants. Hr. Jamoa Bowsnd, a jeweller, had been
murdered; on Thursday evening, and his body thrown
over the cemetery wall, into the bnrying ground, where
it was fontd in the morning. It appears that Mr. Bow
and cloied bis store at 9 o’clock, on Thnreday evening,
and was proceeding homeward, when he was followed by
a strange man. who had been prowling about Princeton
and Kingston for the past week; and npon Mr. B. reach
ing the cemetery, the stranger assailed him with a heavy
dnb, which bad been previously secreted by the w»U,
1 faying him dead, probably at the first blow, then throw
ing both body and club over the wait. A fracture, five
inches long, waß found on the head of the deceased.
The carpetbag which Mr. B. was accustomed to nse
for carrying valuables between the store and his house
was found beside the body, the murderer having taken
the key of the store out of it, and afterwards entered the
store in search of property. At a late boor of the night
the family of Mr. B. becoming concerned about his unu
sual absence, his son went to the stare and fonnd it open,
but bis father was not there. Yesterday morning the
body war found about thirty rods distant from the centre
of the town, in the cemetery, face downward, in a pool
of blood. Beside it lay the club, the carpet-bag, and the
key of the safe in the store, which the murderer had
misted.
_ It appears that the stranger suspected of this cold
blooded transaction was first seen in Princeton about a
week ago;: when he put up at the Central Hotel, He
was well-dressed, and raid he had come from Washing
ton, was a native of Boston, but did not give hia name.
He was intelligent, and disposed to converse only with
men of his own calibre. He was anxious to know the :
wealthiest and most prominent citizens. He was tall and
heavy, had a small mouth anti large feet.
Deceased had resided in Princeton for twenty years,
. belonged to the Methodist Church, and had an unble
mished character. The city authorities of Prinoeton
have offered a reward for the apprehension of the mur
clerer. - - ■

TWO CENTS.
The Draft Troubles in Wisconsm
The Outbreak in Ozaukee euuntT—Hew ttar
Draft was Enforced.
The Milwaukee SentinU of the 13th' instant contaiiur
the following:
The resistance of the draft in Ozaukee Count jr hM AS*
Binned quite a serious aspect. Early on Monday morn- :
tog, the day on which the draft wan to take place, pro*
cessions came into the' village of Ozaukee, and 1 paraded 1
toe streets with banners on which were inscribed- “ No
Draft” At a preconcerted signal, the firing of two can
non, they marched to the conrt house, where they found
the commissioner, Mr. Pora,hadjuat commenced opera
tions. The mob immediately attacked, the conrt 1 homo,
the commissioner fled, a part of the multitude pursuing
him and assaulting him with stones, brick-bats, and other'
missiles, until he took refuge in the post office, The
other part continued their assault on the conrt honse,
and destroyed the papers and other machinery connected
with the draft. The commissioner having esoapod from 1
Ihe hands of the rioters, they turned-round and wreaked
their vengeance upon eminent citizens who had been
counseling obedience to the laws. Among those assault
ed and beaten were S. A, White, the county judge: Hr
Towsley, the district attorney; Judge Downs; register
of feeds, and A. Id. Blair, a leading lawyer. All these
gentlemen were severely Injured, and narrowly escaped
with their lives. It is repoited that Judge Downs had
bis leg broken.
The rioters then commenced destroying- private pro--
perty. The houses of- Mr. Pore, Mr. Loomis, Mr. Blair,
Dr. Stillman, and H H: Hunt, were sacked. The Ozau
kee Stone Mills were levelled to the ground. They pur
sued the proprietor with the purpose of taking Ms life,
but he managed to secrete himself, and afterwards
escaped to this city.. Previous to this they had obtained
all the sheriff’s papers in connection with the draft, and
destroyed them. The house of Commissioner Pars was
also visited with particular vengeance. The furniture
was smashed up- and dumped out on the street. Jellies,
lams/and preserves were poured over the Brussels car
pets, aid ladies’ personal apparel lorn into shreds. The
mob continued in their bigh. handed career, and every
person who was known to be a peaceiul,‘law-abiding,
and law-obeyingcitizen was threatened with violence to
his person and property. In many cases these threats
were carried out with fearful exactness.
The provost marshal of - toe State, W: D. McTndoe, ar
rived here last night, and accompanied by eight compa
nies of the 28th regiment, about 600’ strong, under com
mand of'Col. Lewis, left for.the scene of the disturbances
to Ozaukee county. Thei teamers Comet and Sunbeam
bad previously bien chartered by the Governor, and at
Sjf o’clock Wednesday morning took their departure for
Port Washington, with the proveat marshal-general and
troops on board. The propeller Kenosha,’which arrived
here at 9 o’clock Tuesday night, brought information that
toe mob'at Ozaukee had three pieces of artillery, one of
which was planted on toe pier, and two on an elevation
commanding the pier, and-that they threatened to pre
vent the landing of troops. > To avoid a collision at toe:
pier, it was understood the troops would be landed at '
Fort Clao, fivo miles ibis side, and march into Fort
Washington before daylight this morniny.
The Comet has just returned—2 o'clock. The troops
landedat Fort Ulao, and proceeded by-lond to Port
Washington, arriving about 7 o'clock iu the morning.
The rioters were completely taken by surprise, not one
of them erpecting that anything would be_dpne by toe
State or United States anthorities. Seventy of the riot
ers have been captured, and are in toe custody of Provost
Marshal Mclndoe. Some prominent citizens of Fort
Washington are among the prisoners. The destruction
is represented-as-much greater than at-first reported, six
houses having been gutted—clothing,- furniture, and
pianos were piled up In promiscuous ruin.
The troops marched to the rear of the town on the
west aide. Colonel Lewis immediately sent out scants
and extended his lines so as to completely surround the
town. Advancing in tola manner, the scouts oame in,
contact with some of the rioters, who appeared frightened
out of their wits, having become aware of the presence
of troops. They rushed from one end of the town to the
other, endeavoring to make their escape: But it was n»
use. The lines of the soldiers"gradually dosed up, and
the rioters were completely bagged; caught amid the ruin
and destruction they had made. In a very short time the
soldiers had arretted about seventy, Including several
women. The-prisoners were taken and confined in the
court-house under guard.
We can only eurmise what will be the fate of these
men. The law provides that all who resist or counsel
resistance (o tbe draft shall be sentenced to serve in the
ranks of tbe army during the war. This is a very mild
sentence, and wifi be carried ont to the letter.
The Anglo-Bebel Iron Navy-
Preparations to Break the BlOckade.
The New York Tribune ha* obtained, from a gentleman
jut from England, Bomewhat fuller information concern
ing the rebel navy building abroad than has been com- -
muslcated by Minister Oanieron. Its character Is such
that, while it may tend to quiet whatever alarm is felt
about an immediate descent upon our ooast, It ought not:
to lessen any efforts the Navy Department mayhappen
to be mating-
According to Mr Oameron, three immense iron steam
rams. the most powerful ever constructed, are building
for the rebels. According to this Informant, it la not
certain that the statement is trhe. Two were on the
stocks at Liverpool, in the hands of James Laird, M. P,,
who built tbe pirate Alabama, and is pushing them
rapidly to completion. The third is building, if any
where, on the Clyde, at Glasgow. In the great shipyard
of that port, three iron clads are building. One of them,
the Hector, jnst lahnobed, is for the British Government;
another for Denmark, both in the yard of Messrs. Napier
& Bobs. The third is a screw steamer, under contract by
Messrs, George & James Thompson, of 3,500 tons and 800
horse power, of a modei bo fiat that she iB calculated to
draw but fifteen feet of water: built wholly of iron, her
frame included; and with aTS'-ftting'-twenty-two inohes
thick, of which four inches and a half are iron and the
rest solid teak. This vessel is Baid to be for some foreign
Government not named, though, if : for any reemmigji-
Government, there is no reason whyjher»,sn?ai?" I r.

hide the facts abont any other vessel, little ir generally
known of this one, and information like that we give was
obtained with difficulty. A man-of-war is oommoßly
; nacoed when her keel is laid. .This has no “»me, bnt is

rebels on the Clyde, it in this. Bat it is quite obvious,
from the rate at whioh work on her progresses, and from
the period fixed by the contract, that she is not relied on
for immediate service... And concerning both this and
the Liverpool rams, our Government is andhasconstantly
been fnlly Inform'd
Whatever doubt there may be about this Iron-clad,
there is none at all that other Bteamers for different ser
vice are bought and built for the rebels at Glasgow.
The Columbia, Adels, and Leopard, ail sailed last sum
mer from this port—the Columbia to Hamburg lor a
cargo, the Adela to Liverpool, the Leopard to'Cardiff.
The two former were captured endeavoring to run the
blockade ; the Leopard got through.
The rebels are preparing, apparently, not to break the
blockade this winter by force, bat to evade it by vessels
of unusual speed. With this view they have bought
and are fitting out seeamers at Glasgow, which port
seems to share with Liverpool the honor o! being a ren
dezvous for pirates. 1 here is great activity in ail the yards,
especially in that of Messrs. George and James Thompson,
above mentioned, in which six iron, bnt not iron-clad,
vesseta are on the ways for construction or repair, all
owned by rebels or in rebel interest.. The lona, Petri,
Eagle, and Buby, were selected especially for the work
cf carrying aims and ammunition into blockaded rebel
ports The lona was the first to attemptthe voyage, and
was sunk by collision six weeks ago. The other three,
like the lona, are long, narrow, swift, smooth-water,
side- wheel steamers, built to run fifteen miles an hour on
the Clyde, aid from 150 to 200 tons burden. The Pearl
washing at Quernstowni taking in powder, when the
City of Baltimore, on her last voyage out, touohed at
that port. It is proposed to Band her and tha rest, all of
them being unfit for an Atlantic voyage, by way of Ma
deira to Nassau, there to load, and thence to attempt the
blockade. There are immense stores at Nassau waiting
the opportunity to fled entrance into rebel porta, and the
rebel necessities are so great that they will leave no means
untried to obtain them.
Besides these there are steamers of another class—the
Thistle, Giraffe, and Columbia— rhree screws built
for sea voj ages, destined for similar rerviw, but of much
larger tonnage. Tha Giraffe cost £58,000, the Thistle
£12.000, and the seven together not less than £lOO,OOO.
It appears from an examination of their custom-house
register that all, except the Giraffe, are owned in the
name of George Wigg, a Liverpool merchant, active in
the rebel canto, and .were b mght by Henry Batons,
agent. Both Wigg and Lafone have been in Glasgow on
business connected with the vessels, Messrs, Begby &
Go., of London, who were concerned in fitting out the
Gladiator, of recent notoriety, have also three iron
strainer?, of 600 or 800 tons, building en the Clyde, pro
bably intended to run the blockade. From the fact
that Oapt Seasons, who went to Glasgow to take charge
of the Columbia, was transferred to the superintendence
of the whole rebel fleet, it is supposed that this firm may
also be interested in the Columbia.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
WHAT RUMOR SAlD—They bed ail kinds of re
ports in Chicago, on Monday last, upon the receipt of the
news of General McClellan’s removal. One story had It
that a riot was raging in the capita!; that the office of
the Republican newspaper there was being gutted by a

Bei lonely threatened. Another report said that the office
of the Hew York Tribune had just been levelled to the

PEN AKDWoa®;
If It' Sir line, ns BnlworiJ BicheSen says,' that“'Bo-
Ejsth-th'e inis of men entirelygreat, the Pen Is mightier
tlran’ the Sword,” there are strong groandsfor believing
that? out prtosht national rufsrSr are Kit ‘entirely great.
In short, ■ their greatness musO be taken cun.' graw
tali* ,'Tor- toe Federal sword Hm-bu (receded In putting?
the pen at" a" manifest pecuniary disadvantage. That is
to say, tor tax’wjpon white paper necessitated by too
war compels th» jdnmalistlc pen either to raise the
price of its daily lucubrations, or retire ingtoriously from
Uferace with Mors. Printing paper has- risen from I&K
to 16‘ cents per pound—an advance of fifty per cent.—and
each morning-paper now issued costs Its- publisher a
cent, and five-iighths. Ii order to keejHtlr retail price
at the usual two- cents'y said publisher must'sell it to tha
news agents and news boys for a cent, and a-half; tons'
losing' an 1 eighth of a cent.'on 1 every paper printed/ Of'
course, this state' of things must compel a rise in toe
price charged for oil our dally papers', and toe-question
among the editors in this city has been, which paper
will Inaugurate Ihe" necessitated change!” The &es-dt&
holds ont obstinately, 1 at' a lose that' oannot be less
than three thousand doHdrs' a week, hoping that its ri
vals, the Tribune, Times, and World, will “give in,',
and perhaps collapse. To-night, the Express is said for'
three oents, instead of two, and it is announced that tbs'
Sunday Mercury will hereafter cost six cents, Instead of
four. All the other principal dailies and weeklies must
come to this at last, and those'which have not sufficient ■
lntrinslcvitalily to hold thOir own underlie increase of
price, will, of course, go by the board. The proprietor of'
toe SeralA undoubtedly hopes to see either tha Tribune
or Times extinguished before his anticipated monopoly
of the field enables him to oharge any price he pleases for
hissheet; but his is a desperate game, and ihe may be
handtomely checkmated in the end.
Thus the sword raises the miebief with the pen, and
we are forced to the conviction that we are not living
beneath the rule of men entirely great,”
A CUSTOM HOUSE “SENSATION”
Is the latest wrinkle fn metropolitan life. A great fraud
on Uncle Sam, to the tune of upwards of a million of
dollars, has been discovered In the custom house of thta
city. By collusion between certain heavy Importing
merchants and a score of Unde Barn’s entry clerks, im
ported goods, worth hundreds cf thousands,.have been
passed at tens of thousands, toe Government losing the
duties proportionately to the difference of appraised and
actual value, nineteen clerks have been suspended, and
the investigation now going on threatens to involve the
probity of several noted commercial honses. Some time
ago, a clerk in the liquidating department was caught in
toe set of destroying valuable records. His arrest, and
consequent examination, brought to light the cue by
which this immense fraud has been traced out.
POLITICAL AFFAIRS
With us have assumed too old, hackneyed aspect of bar
room engineering and eliqueism, and respectable people
care very little how the charter eleotisn goes. The great
fight is over, and no new excitement is craved just yet.
On Monday afternoon tbe executive committees of Tam
many and Mozart will meet, for toe purpose of effecting
an alliance for the local spoils. As there is a possibility
that both may be handsomely defeated if they nut oppo
sition “ machines,” a refined sort of brute instinct may
lead them to join bands.
- GENERAL BANKS AND LADY
Are to have a grand “reception” at the Astor House oa
Wednesday next, the day set for it by the General him
self. The honored pair have consented to it at tho re
quest of a eommittee o! citizens, and the great dining
hall of the Astor is named as the scene of the flirt,
Grafuia’s band and a variety of elegant decorations w*
address themselves to the ears and eyes of admiring Mrs.
Grundy.
THE CASE OF MRS. BRINSMADE,
Abont whose temporary imprisonment by the police, as
a Southern spy, there has been so much buncombe talk,
still attracts considerable attention. The lady's friends
are very bitter.against Deputy Superintendent Kennedy,
who has gone to Washington to explain the matter, and
will pueh him hard in the courts. The truth of the ease
appears to be that the arrest was one of those quick ex
ertions of authority whioh may be often unjust, but are
nevertheless necessitated by a stringent war policy. . K
the police waited for documentary or formal proof, before
making any arrest, the worst of home-traitors coold as
ccmpiish .iheir schemes with imppnity.
