THE MIDDLE IMPARTMENT.
Baltimore Preparing for Defence.
A RAID ANTICIPATED
The Forts about the City being Manned
• with Convalescent Soldiers.
Return of General '. Milroy.
NO TRAVEL ON THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD.
The Middle Departn_tent to be Divided.
[Special Despatch to The Press.]
The Convalescents doing guard duty at the various
hospitals about, the . city, were . ordered away this
morning to the fortified defences of Baltimore. jdli
the soldiers who have been - daily awaiting their de,
charge, being too weak to return again to the field,:
and yet not so far recovered as to justify their being
sent homeward, cheerfully consented to move Mr
immediately, rand show ,that even in • decrepitude
they do not recoil before the assaults of the enemies
of their country. The Invalid Corps had not been
completely organized, but necessity, which admits
of no delay, took the , place of organization, and
gaVe an impetus which weeks of ordinary activity,
would have hardly sufficed. The hospitals will be
guarded by the patients, who, with frequent inter
missions of duty, will be amply sufficient for the
purpose. The forts about the city are in excellent
order, and will be equal to any emergency. It , is
evident that the authorities expect an attack on
Baltimore. If their expeotation is not sanguine, it
is certain their precautionary measures are worthy,
of the highest praise. The railroads leading into the.
city are being barricaded, and every measure being
taken to.meet an anticipated raid. The Northern
Central Railroad is well protected, and. any assault
from that direction will be well and efficiently met.
The trains to - Harper's Ferry have ceased running
as.the road is not considered out of danger. It is
not likely that the evening train will leave for
Frederick, as that town is liable, at any moment, to
capture.
General TMlnv, who was here yesterday, in con
sultation with General Schenck, left by special
trainlater in the day, for the purpose of, assuming
command at Maryland Heights. He was accom
panied by his staff officers and one, of your , corre
spondents. General Milioyvisited Frederick, and
found the city in a somewhat excited state, though
the people looked hopeful and confident. Up to six
o'clock last evening, he reports, there were no rebels
in Frederick. It was reported, however—and the re,.
port has been confirmed—that large bodies of rebel's
were moving westward along the river and railroad,
towards Cumberland, destroying the track and,
bridges. The force of rebels at Williamsport is,esti
mated at 8,000. General Milroy received informa
tion which led him to the' belief that it was unsafe
to proceed further with the train. Returning to the
Monocacy, the train immediately proceeded towards
this city, reaching here at three o'ciock this morn
ing. D.
[Special Despatch to the Press.] _
BALTIMORE, June 18
No trains :will be run to Frederick until further
notice. It is believed that the rebels have entered
the town. Yesterday afternoon a train of cars, pro
ceeding between Frederick and Harrier's Ferry, was
captured by the rebels. The train contained a squad
of soldiers, under Capt. Means, and the party was
captured after an ineffectual resistance. The cars
contained no ammunition or other valuables, they
being empty. " -
The Middle Department Will be divided into tWo
departments, to be commanded by Major Gen&
rals Schenck and Milroy. 'With a large field Gen.
Milroy will quickly follow - up his brilliant operk
Hone, so auspiciously commenced at
,Wincliester, and
prove himself tefore the country One of its-beet offl.
cers.
General Tyler, not Kelley, is in eonitnand of the
forces west of yrederick. General Kelley is doing
good service in an9ther department.
A deputation of City Councils called 'Upon General
Schenck this morning, and. , their interview which'
had relation to the defences' of the city, - "was of:ii

(From the Baltimore Son
The Many, and conflicting rumors or statements in
this city in regard to, the invasion of Maryland and
Pennsylvania by the Confederates are now set at
rest by the following subjoined facts derived from
gentlemen arriving last evening, both from Hagers
town, via Frederick and the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, and the neighborhood of, Chambersburg,
by the way of Harrisburg, &e. :
One of the party arriving from Hagerstown states
that he left that place at six o'clock yesterday morn
ing for Frederick, where he took the one o'clock
train, and arrived here last evening at six o'clock.
Be is one of the most respectable citizens of that
section, and his statements are perfectly.reliable.
He stated that the Confederate cavalry, about 1,8 0
strong, under General Jenkins, entered Hagerstown
at an early hour on Monday morning, having aroma
the Potbmac at Williamsport without opposition..
They took quiet' piassession of Hagerstown, there
being no troops there to oppose them. - The stores
were kept open, and Gen. Jenkins notified the citi
zens to inform him at once if their persons or pro
perty were molested by any of his troops. None of
the citizens were arrested ; the most of the promi
nent Union men, however, had retired on Sunday
night. Quite a number of goods were bought by the
Confederates, for which they paid either in Virginia
or Confederate money. There was no property
destroyed in Hagerstown or in the vicinity. Neither
the officers or men were very communicative to the
citizens. Quite a number of horses and cattle were
confiscated. The railroad was damaged somewhat,
and the telegraph wires" werecut, and some of the
poles taken down. The larger body of the - enemy
did not tarry long, but passed out of - the city in two
divisions, towards Greencastle and Chambersburg.
They occupied the first-named place but a- short
time, and the report that it had been destroyed by
them is totally upfounded. It is said that some
contractors' stores and a few Government
stores were burnt by the small body of
Union, troops that retired from there towards
Harrisburg. As far as our informant could
ascertain, all the raiders did, up to the time
they entered Chambersburg (which WEN about dark
on Tuesdaynight) was to confiscate horses, cattle,
and forage. He knew nothing of their doings after
entering that city. When he left Hagerstown, yes
terday morning, there were none of Jenkins' caval
ry thereabouts, and he did not see or hear of nny on
his route to Frederick. A small Confederate in
fantry force were on the Virginia side of the Poto
mac, opposite Williamsport, on Tuesday afternoon,
where fit:was stated by their cavalry pickets at
Williamsport) they intended to remain and await
the return of Jenkins and his men.
The officers and men under General Jenkins were
all dressed in gray suits, with riding boots, and tole.
rably fair cavalry equipments. His artillery is said
to be in good condition. We did not learn the num.
ber of- pieces. Many of his officers and men are re
ported to be from Maryland. They are the same ca
valry force that lately made a raid through Western
Virginia, which section of . Virginia General
king - represented represented several times in the Houiliirof

and some cavalryand infantry, and a considerable
number of the 6th Maryland Regiment, all of which

GEN. MILROY'S WAGON TRAIN•
The EarrisbUrg Union says: General Milroy, com
manding in Western Virginia, was attacked last
week by the force of rebels now invading this State,
and his COM m and cut in two, the troops being on
one side and the wagons on the other. Many of the
latter were captured. The remainder commence(ta
retreat `from Martinsburg in this direction about
'noon on Sunday,havnag 'eight hours , start of the
rebels. They passed though the various towns in
the valley, still in advance of the enemy, and ar
rived here on Monday, the van of the train passing
throngh town in the forenoon. The train is an im
mense one, consisting of upwards of five hundred
wagons (four horses to the wagon), and is about
three miles in length. They have made the extraor
dinary march of one hundred and tw,enly miles in
forty-eight hours, having had no sleep during that
time, and stopping only to feed the horses. Both
horses and drivers bear evidence of the hardships
endured on the retreat.
Very many of the wagons were driven by contra
bands, who rode the wheel-horse, while their fami
lies sat perched upon the top of the load. Rere, on
one wagon, were old wbitoheaded crones, and on
another would be little, negro children who had
fallen asleep. from sheer exhanstion, while the sun
beat full on their upturned faces. Over all was
thrown a yellow mantle of dust. tyelashes, eye
-brows, flesh, and - wool were powdered so thickly as
to give the caravan a most motley,and grotesque
appeai•ance. The luggage consisted of provisions,
hnspraeks, haversacks. stores, &e. The entire train
crossed the Market-street bridge, and is encamped
on thoother Bide of the canal.
GREENOASTLE NOT BURNED.
Tkie following has been received by the Harrisburg
'legwork: •
LITTLETON, Adams county, June 16.-Unless you
have positive assurance of the destruction of Green
castle. - I think the operator at Chambersburg may
have been mistaken, owing to the fact that a large
portion of Emmittsburg was destroyed by fire last
night, including two churches, which raged about
the time ef the supposed burning of Greencastle.
The fire was accidental, originating in a livery
stable.
We on the line here have ho intelligence of the
rebels, and our news is all derived from Philadelphia
and Baltimore papers.
FIVE A. June-17.—A1l quiet yet, and no fur
ther reports from any direction.
THE FDHCE IN IT.AGERSTOWN.
The force that passed through was all cavalry and
artillery, and is variously estimated at from 2,000 to
5,C00. They declared their intention of being in
Harrisburg by last night.
We learn that a gentleman from Hagerstown ar
rived at Fiederick yesterday afternoon, who stated
that he counted the force which passed through that
place, all of which was cavalry and mounted in
fantry. They had with them four brass howitzers,
but no heavy guns. It was reported in Hagerstown
tbat'an infantry force of two or three thousand had
also paesed towards Pennsylvania by a road some
eight miles further west —Baltimore American, 18th.
THE REBEL PAOGRADIEVIE
The whole programme of tie rebel -movement
seems to be the same as that of last year, and may
result in another couplet of battles, at South Moun
tain and'Antietam. - In the meantime a great rebel
raid. by Stuart is anticipated, but it is understood
that General Pleasanton will start .on his track so
soon as he gets in motion, and having the shortest
route will be able to intercept him, and - check his
supposed purpose of destroying the railroad commu
nications with Baltimore and the North.
It the meantime, without disturbing the Army of
the tPotomac, extensive • military movements are
making to protect all the exposed points, and,
although- we may look for stirring events in the
coulee of a few days, it is believed there is ample
force at the command of the Government to render
ihe'whole rebel movement a failure. .
THE EVACUATION OF CHA.AIBERSBURG—
AFFAIRS AT THE STATE CAPITAL
We have authentic information that the rebels
evacuated Chambersburg about two o'clock yester ,
day.afternoon, after plundering the citizens and
business men of everything they wanted. They also
fired the several warehouses, but the citizens extin
guished. the flames. - -.lv is very doubtful, however,
whether .they left our State. ' A large force of in
fantry arrived at. Hagerstown yesterday afternoon,
.but whether they will move in this direction is hard
to imagine. Another - body of rebels was moving
towards Cumberland, -and were encountered by
BrigadierAaeneral Kelly some twelve miles south
of that place, but the result of the encounter had not
been received. -
Troops are arriving in this city With every train,
And we have now nearly enough to defeat any force
that may be sent here, with the fortifications now
almost completed.
The glorious North sent in her full share of braVe
soldiers last evening. The counties of Union, Sny
der, Lycoming, and others in the vicinity, poured in
some twelve hundred sturdy soldiers, most of whom
have seen service before. Easton, Lebanon, and
Allentown sent also several full companies who
hare.been in service.
After ten o'clock a full regiment of brave men ar
rived frenkthe counties of Berko, Montgomery, and
others atom the line of the Lebanon Valley railroad.
The Mew York 7th Regiment, fully equipped- and
armed, will arrive (luring the night.
These forces will enter the service in defence of
the State, and we shall feel perfectly secure from
rebel invasion.. Thew will probably be stationed
near- Chambersburg. The fugitives from this city
maynow .eafe]y return, and we hope that they will
receive' a proper reception on their arrival. We
would suggest to the committee on the reception of
the 127th Regiment that they use the surplus funds
on hand. Aband of music ought to be employed,
by all means. '

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Campaigning on the Railroipl:
.-The Louisville Journal says: For the past few
days it has been generally known that guerillas have
been prowling about at different points along the
line of the Louisville and Nashville - Railroad. Yes
lerday 'morning the passenger train going south,
with two hundred and sixty men on board, was
-stopped at the trestle-work on Muldraugh , s Hill,
and forty menwere put - off there; supposing that
'seine of the guerillas were about. None were seen,
'and the train proceeded to 'Elizabethtown without
any molestation. A despatch was received
there from. Upton stating that sixty-five rebels
were - at Sonora, four miles this aide of
Upton. The train started down the road with
a• military train behind it. They went as far
-as Glendale, at which point the military train was
.put in advance of the passenger train, and the two
proceeded cautiously down the road. Won arriving
st Nolin, it was still reported ' that a body of them
were at Sonora. The trains moved on, and finally
went into Sonora withobt a shot being fired. The
rebela had flown some three hours ttefore the train
arrived, taking with them aboutforty dollars' worth
'of hats, and a lot of horses which they had stolen.
It is reported that the Home Guard corps, amount
ing lo eight men, commanded by Silverhead, run
the rebels out of the place—scared them off.
.The train then went the balance of the journey
without any fears of an attack. The up train, on
arriving at Nonn heard that a rebel force was mov
„hag upon Elizabethtown, and, upon arriving there,
found everybody in a blaze of excitement. The
,pickets had been driven in twice yesterday by the
guerillas.. The train was stopped by a sentinel at
trestlework No. 2, and the colonel commanding
the 50th Ohio -got aboard and rode down to
trestlework No. 1, .where he said the rebels
were in the hollow, advancing on the trestle-work.
He was Tait off there to watch the rebels, and Cap
tain Fish Henry thinking it best to do some "tall
running,” came on to Lebanon -Junction, where it
was.reported that a large rebel force was expected
to attack Gallatin, Tenn., last night or to-day. The
train came on to this city, arriving a few minutes
behind time, with a big trip of passengers. Captain
Henry is a lucky conductor, and Billy Clark knows
exactly-how to keep an enging,on the track in time
of danger.. •

[From the Charleston Mercury, June 6.]
The destruCtion of property on Bull's Island some
days ago, and the recent raid on the Combahee, in
volving an immense loss of property, is followed by
the burning of the beautiful town of Bluffton, on
May river, The last outrage took place on Thurs
day morning last, and resulted in the loss of about
forty private residences and nearly' one hundred
outhouses, stores,_ &c. We have succeeded in ob

The enemy, approached in transports, and landed
about one thousand strong, at what is known as
"Hunting leland," Five gunboats covered their
landing, which was successfully accomplished about
half past six o'clock, on the 4th inst. - Three com
panies of the force that had landed took up the line
of march, following the course of the river until
they reached Bluffton, their, gunboats steaming - up
the river abreast of the troops. The pickets noticed
the movement, and reported the fact to Lieut. Col.
Johnson, commanding the outposts, at shout seven
o'clock, and the cavalry force from the 3d and 4th
Regiments: S. C. Cavalry, moved at.-cince towards
the threatened point. Strange to say; the couriers
failed to report the advance of the enemy, either to
the picket headquarters in Bluffton or the garrison
camped near the town, consisting of the infantry
force from the 11th'South Carolina Regiment.
The consequence was, the gunboats arrived .in
the river nearly opposite the camps before they
could be seen by the camp guard, who gave the
alarm. The men were soon under arms, and de
ployed as skirmishers, going some distance to the
tront in the movement. The - enemy soon came in
sight, having obtained possession of the town unmo
lested, and exchanged shots with the line of skir
mishers. Soon after the town was fired in the lower
part, near Colonel Stoney's, and, the wind blowing
fresh, soon sent the flames broadcast through the
town. The heavy gibwth of trees between Mr.
Pope's house and the Episcopal church saved the
latter structure. • They fired the Methodist church
under the very altar, but it burnt so slowly that it
was discovered and put out. The cavalry had now
arrived. Earle's light battery, after a drive of thir
teen miles, had also reported for duty. The-Aboli
tionists having effected their purpose, now with
drew, embarked on their transports, and were con
veyed out - of sight.
COL. MONTGOMERY'S ACTIVIT Y.
•
- - -
From 'St. Simon's (Ga.) Island, we learn that
Col. Montgomery is determined that the forces under
his command shall not remain idle. Upon arriving
at his poet, he immediatelywent to work to discover
what the rebels were about in his vicinity, and what
damage he could inflict upon them in the way of de
stroying valuable property.
On the ilthinst., with four companies of the 2d
South Carolina on board the Harriet A. Weed, and
the John Adams, he ascended Turtle river to within
a short distance of Brunswick, and after throwing a
few shells into the place, discoverld that it was en
tirely deserted. The H. A. Weed getting aground,
and the John Adams drawing too much water, it was
deemed advisable not to occupy the city, qr proceed
Weber up the river.
Captains Anthem') and Adams, desiring not to re
turn without accomplishing something, took a skid;
with six men, rowed up to - the bridle of the 'Savan
nah. and Brunswick Railroad, fired it in four differ
ent places, and had the satisfaction of seeing it total
ly destroyed before they returned.
On their return to the steamer they were fired
upon from a thicket, by some fifteen or twenty rebels,
but, with the exception of Sergeant Leonard, who
eceivcd a slight flesh wound in the arm, not a man
was hit.
Atter shelling the woods by the John Adams, the
party returned to St. Simon's Island.—Free South,

TAE BLACK RAID
The Free south gives us the following incidents of
Montgomery's raid on thWplantations of Combahee:
The white inhabitants, terrified at the sight Of
negro soldiers with loaded muskets in their hands,
ran in every direction, while the slave population
rushed to the boats with every demonstration of joy
and gratitude., Three rice houses well filled with
rice; a large amount of ricks in the yard; and four
large mills of different kinds, were destroyed. Man
sions, negro quarters, and everything inflammable
was consigned lb the flames. Sluices were opened,
plantations flooded, and broad ponds and lakes made
where, but a few hours before, luxuriant crops of
rice and corn were putting forth their leaves.
Having brought within his lines nearly eight
htindred valuable slaves, having destroyed property
to the amount of two millions, most of which be
longed to notorious leaders in this rebellion, having
demonstrated that negro soldiers - will follow and
fight wherever a brave and bold man dares to lead
them, and that the slave population of South Caro
lina are eager to embrace the opportunity to escape,
Colonel Montgomery returned to Beaufort early on
the morning of the 3d inst., without the loss of a
OFFICIAL REPORT OF THE DESTRUCTION
OF BLUFFTON.
WASHINGTOX, June 18.—The Navy' Department
has received the following from Admiral Dupont,
the particulars attending the destruction of Bluff
ton, S. C.
It appears that on the 3d instant he ordered Lieu
tenant Commander Bacon. to proceed with the Com
modore McDonough on this expedition. The army
forces from General Bunter's command, numbering
one thousand men, on board the transport May
flower, and another army transport, were under the
command of Coldnel Barton, and by the order of this
officer the town was destroyed by fire, the church
only being saved. Though the rebels made several
charges, they were driven back by our own and the
shrapnel of the Commodore McDonough. "
Bluffton being destroyed, the soldiers re-embarked
without casualties, and returned to Hilton Head.
The Admiral says the expedition was a complete
success, owing to the hearty co-operation of both
branches of the service.
THE SCHOOL OF. THE FREEDMAN.
The best school, both for the morale and physique
of the freedman has been in operation some three
orgfour months, anti could any of the doubting ones
see those men now, and contrast their present ap
pearance with that before their enlistment, the ar
gument would be exhausted. Instead of the cringing
deportment, shuffling gait, doubtful, shy, expression,
the aimless countenance, drooping head, and listless
or wandering eye, he would now see the head erect,
the body straight, the step firm and regular, intelli
gent and., sprightly faces, eyes sparkling with inte
rest and hope, every movement made with precision;
in short, the whole being transformed from de
gradation to conscious manhood and soldierhood.
Passing along their lines when " at rest," there is
seen no lounging about, no lopping down, but all in
place, calmly leaning upon their gleaming muskets ;
that peculiar negro dialect fast disappearing, ques
tions-are'answered intelligently and respectfully,
but without timidity; orders are given in a firm but
not pompous voice, and are promptly obeyed. Now
this is what Gen. Hunter is doing with the negro.
He is sending him to school, that is all ; and if the re
bele insist upon giving him a lesson now and then,
we presume he. will have no objections.--Free South.

Affairs in Blehmond—Leets Designs and
Numbers—The Town Slimly Garrisoned..
WASHINGTON, Tune 17, 1863.—Five or six hundred
paroled prisoners, who were captured in the cavalry
tight at Beverly Ford, arrived at Annapolis yester
day. With them. came Mr.. Walter Cooper, the esp.
tain'S clerk of the Indianola, who has been in the
Libby Prison since the capture of his vessel. Mr.
Cooper, who has arrived here, makes the following
important statements :
He thinks, judging from the assertions of the
Richmond papers touching Lee's strength at the
time of the battle of Ohancellorville, and from the
reinforcements that have been sent within the last
two or three weeks, that the rebel Army of the Po
tomac is between 100,000 and 120,000 strong. From
the windows of the Libby Prison, which command
the „Tames river at the points where travellers on
the Petersburg railroad cross, 2,000 or 3,000 soldiers
have been seen coming northward daily, for the past
fortnight. -
Those on last Saturday's train; who were asked,
united in saying that they were from Tennessee.
None:of these troops remain in Richmond, which is
as bare of soldiers as it was at the time our devilry
just missed capturing.the rebel - capital. Five hun
dred men could take it - to-day, Petersburg is also
without • a. , garrison, but there are -troops on the
Blackwater. - It was the general - opinion in RiCh
mohd that Lee was to make a feigned attack on
Washington, while Stuart invaded Pennsylvania
and Maryland. The rebels were evidently severely
handled -at Beverly Ford. Thirteen ear-loads of
their wounded in that engagement had arrived at
Richmond. -
here are now in the Libby prison 91 officers of
Col. Streight , s command, captured by. Forest in
Mississippi ; 40 officers taken at Beverly Ford, and
100 of other men,.who, deserted from cowardice or
home sickness, in, the hope of a speedy return' on,
parole. The rebels no longer parole these deserters,

THE BELT OF DESOLATION.
[From the Richmond Whig.]
.
Day by ,day the track of the destroyer becomes
broader. Two-thirds of Virginia, two-thirds of Ten
' nessee, the coasts of North and South Carolina. part
of Georgia, , nearly, all of Florida. northern
sippi, western and southern- Louisiana, a great part
of Arkansas - and Missouri, have already been laid
waste, and every hour brings , tidings of fresh destruc
tion. Despatches of Saturday informed us - that the
enemy. had- dmitroyed a - million dollars , worth of
property on the Combahee, and stolen a thousand
negroes. It was but a few, days ago . that they
ravaged the county of Matthews, in this State ; and,
even while we write, tidings come to. us that they
are burning private houses and destroying every
grain of corn they can lay their hands on in the
counties of King and Queen.
Enough has been said,.of the barbarism of this
mode of warfare, and too much has to be confessed
of the entire impunity with which it is carried on.
Our outcries and our admission of the weakness or
the imbecility of our forces in the field, but add to
the hellish Joy of the foe, without stimulating
troops, Government, or people, to the pitch of retri
butive vengeance. The belt of desolation widens
hourly,-nor, is there much prospect of an abatement
of the evil. . Citizens complain of the Government,
which in turn complainsof the citizens. Meantime
common inquiry is made as to the existence and pre
sent whereabouts of the organized forces of the Con
federacy. -
We may be sure that this state of things will con
' thine so long as the war is waged exclusively on
Confederate - soil. Every day.the enemy remains in
our territory will add to the width of the belt of de
solation, and they who now fancythemselves out of
danger will soon discover-their mistake. If a thou-.
sand Yankee cavalry can ride entirely through the
State of Mississippi without Molestation, what is to
hinder a like number from going throughTirginia,
North and South Carolina, to, Port 'Royal? 'Cer

ture, "the abomination of desolation." We believe
that something will be done, the necessity of the
case demands it imperatively ; would that we could
be sure that it will be done speedily. The cup can
be returned to the lips of the North, drugged with
tenfold bitterness. Mercy to ourselves demands this
act of retributive justice to them.
INVASION OF THE,NORTE.
A letter from Richmond, of June 2, reports the
current rumor that Lee was about to march, either
for Washington or Philadelphia. The writer says
that the fortitications of Washington are such as to
render it well nigh impregnable, and "if General
Lee invades Maryland, it is nee probable that he
will immediately make an attack on the well.de
fended capital of the pinion, but upon other places,
with a view to cut off its supplies, and thus, by
stratagem, ultimately compel its surrender."
Mystery of Col. Williams, the Rebel Spy.
The telegraph some days since sent forward the
fact that two men had been hanged at Franklin,
Tenn., by order of General Rosecrans, having been
condemned by, a drum-head court as spies. About
sundown on the Bth inst. they rode into Col. Baird's
headquarters, wearing citizen's overcoats, Union
regulation pants and caps, beside the side-arms
usually worn by officers. They represented them
selves to be Col. Austin and Major Dunlap, Inepec
tor Generale of the . TJnited States Army. Subse
cmently Austin was identified as Lawrence A. Wil
trams, of Georgetown, D. C., late of the United
States;Army, and Dunlap as Walter G. Peter, a lieu
tenant in the rebel army. The Buffalo Express' says
that Williams was a native of that city, and a son
of the gallant Captain Williams, who fell at Monte
rey:: The correspondent of the Nashville Prect,
whose account of the arrest and execution we quote
below, speaks of Williams as more recently from
Georgetown, D. C. "lie was," says the writer, "a
fine-looking man, about 6 feet high, and perhaps 30
years old, one of the most intellectual and accoin
plished men in the army I. have ever known. As
a conversationist he was rarely excelled. He
was a member of the regular army, with the rank
of captain of- cavalry, when the rebellion broke out,
and at that time was ald-de.camp and private secre
tary to Gen. Winfield Scott. He was a first cousin
of Gen. Lee, commanding the Confederate army on
the Rappahannock. Soon after the war began he
was frank enough to inform Gen. Scott that all his
sympathies were with the South, as his friends and
interests were there, and that he could not fight
against them. As he was privy to all of Gen. Scott's
plans for the campaign, it was, not thought proper
to turn him loose ; hence, he was sent to Governor's
Island, where he remained three months. After the
Bull Bun battle he was allowed to go South, where
he joined the Confederate army. He was a while
on Gen. Bragg's staff, as chief of artillery,, but at
the time of his death was his inspector general.
When he joined the Confederate army be altered
his name, and signs it thus : 'Lawrence W. Orton,
Col. Cay. P. A. C. S. A.' (Provisional Army Con
federate States of America.) Sometimes he writes
his name Orton,' and sometimes 'Anton,' according
to the object which he had in view."
_ .
An hour before the execution, Williams, or Or
ton, sent the following request by telegraph to Gen.
Roseerans :
‘‘ Will you not have any clemency for the son of
Capt. Williams, who fell at Monterey, Mexico 7 As
my dying speech, I -protest our innocence as spies."
[What follows is rather inexplicable. The docu
ment appears to be signed, "Lawrence W. Anton,
formerly L. Auton Williams."] Williams then
adds : send this as a dying request"
This would seem to be conclusive on the point of
identity ; nevertheless, there is not a little mystery
in the case. A.,
Major Lawrence A. Williami,lthe son of the late
Capt. Williams, received his commission Sept. 7,
1861. Be commanded the 6th Regular cavalry regi
ment in the Peninsula campaign, under McClellan.
Soon after the -army reached the Chickahominy, he
'was placed under arrest for passing into the ene
my's lines, but was subsequently relieved from ar
rest, no improper motive appearing to be attached to
the act. During the memorable seven days' battle
he acted on Gen. McClellan's staff, and the morning
after the army found a lodgment at Harrison's Land
ing, on the banks of the James river, came to For
tress Monroe, much broken in health and spirits,
where he remained for about two weeks, when he
left for Washington via Baltimore.
This is the only Lawrence (or Laurence A.) Wil
liams named in the Army Register. Of his presence
at Fortress Monroe in August last there, can be no
doubt g , but he could not have been the spy that was
executed, if that person left the service immediately
after- the breaking out of the rebellion, or earlier
than ten months ago. If the two are one, then the
,time he left the Union service and joined the rebels
is not properly stated by the Nashville Press. Of
such desertion we have had no previous account.
We are left to conjecture, therefore, either that if
Williams deserted to the rebels it was less than one
year ago, or that Bowe one personated him, and that
"the son of Captain Williams, who fell at Monte
rey" was not hung by Rosecrana.
We understand that Major Williams—the same
that was on the Peninsula—has a brother residing
in this city, Who is engaged to be married to the
daughter of one of our most wealthy citizens'; and
we understand, furthermore, that the nuptials have
been, postponed in consequence of the hanging at
Franklln.—Tribune.
Speech of Hon. John Brough, at Marietta,
Recently a Union meeting of great numbers was
held at Marietta, Ohio, partly. to welcome back to
public life the Hon. John Brough, retired for fifteen
years from active participation in politics. As a
man whose honesty and good sense are universally
esteemed, and
. as the candidate just nominated by
the Unionists against Vallandigham, his opinions
have interest and weight. In his Marietta speech
he thus reterred'to those who oppose the war :
But the sad and humiliating truth is, that even in
the Northern States there is, and always has been,
a' party in time of conflict to take the side of the
enemy ageing, the side of the country. Ido not pro
pose to denounce or abuse any man who holds an
opinion, contrary to my own. But let us reason
together. Why are you, my Democratic friend, op
posing this contest? -You say it is carried, on, by a
Whig Administration, which you don't like. Is that
a sufficient reason? Suppose you had a man in jail
convicted of burglary, and you say, "This man
shall not go to the Ohio. Penitentiary because
Whig sheriff is going to take him there," or, " be
cause a majority of the jurymen who con
victed him were Whigs." Upon this principle
you would not help enforce any of the laws
of the State because of the Governor being
a Whig. The spirit of opposition is as unreasonable
and unjust in one case as the other. You won't sup
port the Administration in this war because it
is a Whig Administration. Brother Democrat, that
will not do. You complain that we have been so
slow and tardy, that the rebellion should have been
put down long ago, and if the Democrats' had had
hold of it, it would have been. 'You forget the dif
ficulties-the Administration had to encounter at the
commencement of the struggle; and that if we have
not accomplished everything we would have acbm
plished, there may be reasons which we may be igno
rant of. But is it the duty of a prudent man to stop
to argue on this point? I will make a bargain with
you. You go on heart and band in support of this
Administration,
and if. at the end, they shall not
have put down the rebellion, and you will show me
a Democrat who will make a cleaner sweep, I will
ground my arms and enter upon the stump for his
election. It will take time, but, if the work is done,
a good patriot can afford to wait. It may be that
some small 'politicians may spoil before-that time,
but we had better sacrifice a few of them than sacri
fice the country.
The only question that comes up - at this time is,
should . the Northern people or Northern Govern
' ment employ the institution of slavery as a means .
in putting diiwn This rebellion? If you call that
Abolitionizing this war; it is a species of Abolition
ism which I have not learned heretofore. Does any
man'put' himself upon the ground that it is uncon
stitutional to use every means, , either in the hands
of our enemy or our own, to put doWnthia rebel
lion? If the army, marching through the enemy's
country, finds a hundred home. or mules he needs,
he marches in and takes them, and drives them
away. That is - all right. The - doctrine of slavery
is; that the slave man is but a chattel—a mere
animal. But I put it upon the broader ground
that every', man working: upon a plantation
of the enemy is equal to two men in the rebel,
army engaged in shooting down Die Alien of the
Union army. Every negro is raising produce to feed
the army and raising taxes tripay them. The negro
on the plantation who hoes his corn is just as effec
tive a man as if he were in the army, and more so . ;
for, although he fights well in our, army, I doubt
whether he would in theirs. Do you, say we shall
not take him and lead him to fight his own master
and - oppressor? Do you'want any more of our own
t race to be slaughtered than we can avoid? Do you
want them to cripple us all the more by the means
of their 'employment , If-you - say so you are on
posed to the progress of the war at all, and there is
very little hope for your redemption. This you call
Abolitionizing the war !
The Coneord Meeting—Speech of Post—
master Genelal Blair.
A very large,Union meeting was held at Concord,
_
N. H., on the 17th. Speeches were made by the
Hon. Mr. Blair, Major General Butler Mr. Richard
Turner, of Texas, and letters read-from Fremont )
Dickinson, and others. General Fremont urged the
Republican Democracy ; of New Hampshire to re
assert those principles upon, which the President
went into power, thereby - securing free speech -for
Wendell Phillips as well as Vallandigham.
Mr. Blair drew from the past no unfavorable in
ferences for the future ; for the self-reliance which
was the distinguishing characteristic ef the Ameri
can people remained unshaken. It was not to be
apprehended that the spirit or letter of State or na
tional constitutions was to be changed by the present
struggle. There were two knots of conspiring politi
cians at opposite ends of the Union : laying see-saw
-with the Government on the fulcrum of slavery, and
would.willingly break it to experiment on reboil
stxuction. The Calhoun and 'Wendell Philliplijuntai
sought the accomplishment of adverse ends by a
common means=the overthrow of the CODE titution—
the. former sacrificing free government because re
pugnant to the perpetuity of slavery; and the:latter
subjecting all our systems of government to revolu
tionary tribulations,
_because recognizing different
races among ;
us, and endeavoring not only to alter
the laws and enfranchise the races held under it, but
abolish Constitutions recognizing that law as esta
blished, and admit to equal participation races hith
erto excluded as inferior. Those who hold the sove
reignty of the United States abjured both doctrines
equally. The'amalgamation of races demanded by
the Wendell Phillips school was an impossibility.
Despite attempts to make a fundamental change in
the laWs of nature, by blending different races, the'
hybrid has gradually worn out in every instance, and
the old stock preserved its original type, as instanced
by the intermarriage of Preach and Indian on this
continent. and also with the blacks of St. Domingo,
and by the attempted amalgamation of Spanish' and
Indians. The repugnance of caste which had grown
up in the country showed that nothing could reconcile
the dominant race to the mixing of black and white
races in the management of a common Government ;
and our civil' war closing on. the manuffus' sion of
four million slaves; to take equal rank with six mil
lion of enslavers, would be but the prelude to a ser
vile war and extermination. The r speaker favored
the liberty, equality, and fraternity of the African
race, but not in the region. devoted to the fraternity
of the pale faces. It could be'done only by a gradual
segregation of the two races, eachlloregions congenial
to their natures. The Wendell Phillips school did
not expect the amalgamation and equality theory.to
be acceptable to the present ruling class, but intend
ed that the Northern white man, while rejecting it
himself, should enforce -it on the Southern white
man. Unfortunately fOr this scheme, the Northern
soldier intends to make the land which he redeems
from nullification an inheritance for his own pos.
teilty. All the propositions of the Abolition
!Action which is warring -on the Preeident come
to theee conclusions—destruction of ,the conetitu,
lion and of the white and black race*, or incessant
Aver, after the example of the Moors and Spaniards..
The two different schemes—those. of the Calhoun
and Phillips school—both concurred in pressing the
j antagonism of races, but looked to different races'to
give them-power, and the success of either would
induce the same result, as far as popular govern:
went is concerned ; so that there would scarcely be
much preference betwef n being . governed by Jeff.
Davis, as leader of the slave.power, or by. Wendell
Phillips,-as leader of the enfranchised blacks. But
the Calhoun scheme was a failure, as a governing
contrivance, and the Phillips scheme, the dream of
visionaries, was a failure from the start. Emancipa
tion was then a fixed fart, and tile real issue was in
accepting for a guide Phillips, or Jefferson and Lin
coln. In this the people would surely answer

A Ship Burned by the Rebels—Decision of
the RebenGovernment—No more Vessels
to be Bonded—They- are to be Burned in
future.
By the arrival at New 'fink yesterday morning of
the Danish brig Virginia we learn that the ship
Crown Point, Capt. Giet, from New York April 9th,
for San Francisco, was captured and burnt by the
privateer Florida, on the leth of May, in latitude 7,
longitude 34, about 70 mike N. E. of Pernambuco.
The Crown Point was a fine vessel of 1,000 tone,
built at Newburyport, Conn., owned by Messrs.
Curtis & Peabody, of Boston, and ship and cargo
Were valued at sl7o,oE—said to be insured.
CAPTAIN GIETS , STATEMENT.
May 13.—At 10 A. M., and ten miles N. E. front
Pernambuco, heard report of Rail hot which proved
to be a berm. brig bound north; about the same
time saw the spars of a vessel about to miles north
west, having all sails furled, and steering directly
for us, and having the appearance of rising out of
- the sea. The ship at, that time was not going more
than 5 knots an hour, and there was no possibility
for us to eshape, At 11 o'clock the steamer was
alongside, and hailed the ship, where from and
bound—she having English colors dying, her crew
all at quarters, and the port guns fronted to the ship.
The Crown Point being now hove to, and the
steamer lying'.on our starboard quarter, they
sent a boat on board, the crew of which were all
well armed; also an officer, and an armed prize
crew. The officer then informed me that my ship
was a prize to the'Contederate States steamer Flo
rida, Lieutenant Commanding Maffitt. The officer
then demanded the ship's papers, and informed me
that I must go on board the steamer. The officer
attended me into the cabin. After having got alf
of the papers '
we went on deck. Eight of the ship's
crew requested to join the steamer, and the offer was ac
cepted. The eight men were sent in the boat with
myself, to the steamer. The steamer kept
the. English colors flying until the boat got
alongside - the ship, when they were hauled- -
down, and replaced by the Confederate fag.
After getting on, board the Florida, I was re
ceived by Captain Maffitt, who informed me he in
tended to burn my ship, and could not accept any
bonds, as he had strict orders from his Government
to destroy and burn all ships under the American
flag, in order to help bring this war to a close by the
destruction of our commerce. He also informed me
that vessels with neutral cargoes, not contraband of
war, would' be bonded, though he considered the
bonds of but little value. Finding I was unable be
make arrangements to bond the vessel, I was
allowed to go on board the ship, where I
found the things pretty well upside dewn. My
three chronometers, sextant, charts , books, eistols,
guns, and all my clothing, were on deck, ready
to go into the boat; also the remainder of the
ship's crew, with the exception of the mate, who
was allowed to remain with me. They also took his
sextant, charts, and spy glasses. Tbey allowed us
only our clothing, leaving bedding, and many other
articles behind. I consider my loss at about $1,500,
in instruments alone. At 7 P. M. I was ordered,
with my wife and children, and the mate, into the
boat. After getting on board, the captain offered
Pars.-Giet his cabin, and invited us to take our
meals at his cabin. I found the balaace of
the crew in irons, and the boats plying to and
fro between the ship and the steamer, bring
ing stores, clothing, whisky, cook's galley,
stream anchor, and some new .rigging, and every
thing-they stood in need of, tcy the steamer, in
cluding a lot of oysters, and all the ship's stores.
At one o'clock the 14th the Crown Point was given
to the flames, with all her sails set. The boats then
came alongside the steamer. Taking one omy
boats they sailed around the ship, and then kent on
a northeast course. The Florida only came out of
the port of Pernambuco the day before. The F. has
six broadside guns, and two ten-inch pivots, with a
crew of ninety men, three lieutenants, two mas
ter's mates and two doctors. She is able to
steam twelve knots an hour, and sails well
Under canvas. On the 15th the Florida bore to
the west, and at 3 P. M. made Cape St. Bailees
and Captain Maffitt informed me he wet; going
to land us at Natal Rio Grande del Norte, but the
current had sent the steamer some twenty-five miles
to leeward of that port. At 3P. M., standing east,
they reported a steamer coming on the opposite
course, whereupon the Florida was put on
the other tack, and, in an hour's time, tacked
again to the east, meanwhile losing sight of the
steamer. Maffitt, now apprehending that :the
steamer in question might be a Federal man-of
war, kept well to the east. May 16th, at 3 P. M.,
came te anchor on the north side of the Roccas.
Islands, at which place we remained till the 20th
of May, when, at 3% P. M., a sail was reported
standing to the north. At 4, the Florida was
under weigh, steering for the vessel, which proved
to be the Danish brig Virginia, from Buenos Ayres.
for New York. She was brought to by a gun, and
the English flag was hoisted. The Florida then sent
a boat on board to make arrangements for our. pas
, sage, but 'the captain informed the officer that he
' had no room, nor enough provisions. One of the
officers representing that wehad lost our ship on the
coast, and promising them plenty of stores, the cap
tain of the Danish vessel still refusing, he was told
that if he did not take as many passengers as he
could - carry they would burn his brig too,
as ehe had a New. York cargo on board. Captain
Maffitt then sent on j
board myself and family," two
mates, the cook, and stewardess, making in all
ten persons, leaving ten on board, including the
third mate, two more of the crew having joined the
Florida before leaving. Getting ready to go on
board, I heard the officer tell Captain Moffitt of the
conduct of the captain of the brig. I told Captain
Maffitt I hoped he would give us plenty of stores.
He said he would give him a supply of everything
to enable him to go home and come back again, if
necessary, as the Steamer - was full of stores. At 7
P. M. we left the steamer and got on boird the
Virginia, Captain John Von Ehring, and arrived at
this port this morning. The stores put on ward by
Maffitt were only 1 bbl. beef, I bbl. bread, 10 lbs.
sugar, and 10 lbs. tea. Captain Von Ehring treated
us very kindly, and madethe best of accommodation
for us. JOHN N. 'GIEr.

The Louisville Journal of the 13th contains the
following paragraph, complimentary to this officer :
" This gentleman reached Frankfort on Wednes
day, to confer with the Governor, the State autho
rities, and General Boyle, on military matters in
Kentucky, and returned to Lexington the next
morning. „The Commonwealth says.: 'An opportunity
was afforded to our citizens, and especiallY to the
ladies, to see and speak with one who has so tho
roughly won the confidence and esteem of the people
of Kentucky. Every one was pleased, and satisfied
that the high estimate which has been placed upon
him was justified. Burnside looks and a:ts like a
great man j and the manner in which he has ma
naged the affairs of this department shows him to
be a statesman as well as a general. The more we
see of Burnside, the more we like him. He has done
much for Kentucky. His order, N 0.33, has worked
like a charm, and given peace, quiet and security to
many portions of the State which have been in
fested by rebel sympathizers and marauders. Pre
vious to its -publication, many parts of the State
were infested by Morgans men and other rebels,
whose presence brought fear and terror; but since
its enforcement there are none -to be found within
our linos, except a few desperate characters, who
come and go secretly to act the spy and those are
caught whenever found, and executed."
The Case . of . Mlle. Patti.
Mlle. Patti, by "her next friend,” James Wil
liam Macdonald, Howard street, Strand, has sought
the intervention of Vice-Chancellor Stuart on be
half of herself and her interests. The defendants
in the suit, it appears, are her father, Salvatore
Patti, and a Mr. Maurice • Strakosch, her brother
in-law. The following history of this singular case
is given by the Daily. Telegraph:
Adelina Maria Johanna Clorinda Patti was born
on the 19th February, 1843, and she has been en
gaged in operatic ringing at Brussels, Ghent, Liege,
Louvaine, Amsterdam, the Hague, Utrecht, Paris,
Vienna, London, and other towns in England, in the
course of which she, has earned very large sums of
money. Her singing engagements were entered into
on her behalf by the defendants, who assumed to act
as her guardians, directed and controlled all her
movements, - and - received all the profits of her en
gagements;_which amounted in one year to upward
of .£24,000, forwhich sum they have never accounted
to Mlle. Patti: She arrived in England on the 4th
of May jest, under the escort of the defendants, who
acted as her guardians, and they thereupon entered
into some engagements on her behalf with Mr. Gye,
to sing at the Covent Garden Opera House,turing
- the months of May, June, and July, on the terms of
a largeMunl of money being paid to the defendants.
The bill stated that the defendants threatened and
intended to receive that without the consent of Mlle.
Patti, and that they had entered into further engage
merits for' the plaintiff to sing in Paris' and other
_continental towns, during the ensuing `moirtha of
August, September, October, November, December
January, and February next, although Mlle. Patti
will,htfore the: expiration of, that period, have at.
tained her majority. It also stated thather father
bad, in - conaideration oflin annuity from Maurice
Strakosch;entered into some arrangement. with him
which enabled him personally to control her move
ments ; that the latter always accompanies her and
her maid-servant .to and from the theatre; that he
received all - moneys payable to her in virtue of her
engagementic and, that he , gave receipts for.such
nes s, but had never accounted to 111.11e. - Patti for
them, and, retains them without her consent. - Mlle.
Patti resides with the defendants ; they travel With
her, and live upon herearnings. Dille. Patti would
have had no objection to make them areasonable
' allowance, out of her earnings, if they had behaved
kindly to her. ' -
The bill proceeded to statethat the defendants had
acted for many months 'past with cruelty and op
pression toward her, and continued to do so, in con
sequence of which she daily goes in great bodily and
mental fear. Every movement is Watched" by her
father, and still more by Maurice Strakosch, nei
ther of whom will allow her to communicate with
her friends or to receive lettere from them, and
they seek , to thwart all freedom of action on her
part and confine, her to certain rooms, and even
threaten her with violence in case of her resistance.
They.even go so far as to open her letters without
her consent, and to retain some from her alto
gether.- Maurice Strakosch has also accused Mlle.
Patti of dishonorable conduct, and of acts of winch
she is totally innocent ; by which they have driven
her, as ":she' she has alleged, almost to the verge
of madness, and she is represented as being
thereby rendered most miserable. She has en
tered into an engagement of marriage with a
young Belgian nobleman of fortune, himself, un
fortunately, also a minor, to whom she is ardently
attached, and who is now in this country. Her
'father and brother-in.law strenuously object to the
marriage, or, in fact, to any marriage on her part,
they being evidently afraid they will thereby be de
prived of the profits of her engagements: Mlle. Patti
-and her betrothed became engaged in March, 1862,
with the knowledge of their respective parents,
Salvatore Patti having promised his; consent if the
father of the young nobleman consented. He has
done so, yet Sig. Patti now refuses ; and he and his
eon-in-law have prevented all -communication be
tween the two lovers. The gentleniari having ample
means of his own, has most-honorably offered to
abstain,from receiving any- money to which Mlle..
Patti may be entitled ; and is desirous that all her
own Property, whether present or future, may be
secured for her separate use. -
- Such were the statements made in support of the
prayer, that during the remaining period of her mi
nority Mlle. Patti.might have the protection of the
Court, to restrain the father and brotherdn-law from
molesting her, interfering with her personal liberty,
or receiving money made under the contract with
Mr. Gye, or any of her earning, with the further
pray - er that the Court should appoint a guardian of
her own, person-and 'property. According to the
imperfect reports which had got abroad, it might be
supposed that the, result of the,. application was
purely negative, the Court simply declining to in
terfere ; but , practically, we believe, the:nesult is
very different. The motion made , on. behalf of
the defendants was merely for an order that
Mr. Macdozeld should ,pay the costs of a pre-
VioUll motion and of :this Ilant.One, andhis Honor
declined to' make any fresh order; the plaintiff hav
ing undertaken to pay costs ontertain conditions. In
Short, thibase had Ireerisettledifiatdocke and we
