USI
The excitement in the city is again noticeable.
The people, although fully aware, of the near ap
proach of the rebels, seem to be at a loss to kno is
what to do, but under the general order issued this
evening, seem more resigned to do their duty and
meet whatever fate the Almighty may have in stoke
for them. The city is filled with refugees whose
stories generally add to the alarm, which is entirely
uncalled for under the circumstances.
MOyING
Workmen have been busily engaged again to-day
in packing up what is left of the State archiies, pre.
paratory to chipping them to a place of greAtie
safety. Many wagons loaded with: bOoks • and pa,
peis proceeded to the de;p6t, and the articles were
placed on the cars for transportation to Philadel
phis. the .last instalment of the State Library was
sent off to-day. - ,
• THE GRAY RESERVES.. • 4
This regiment now numbers 1100 men. They will
be mustered into the service, under the Governor's
call for troops, as soon as possible, probably to-
This splendid regiment is now encamped on a
beautiful mount about four miles south of 'the city,
and are our outpost infantry corps. This regiment
is pretty full. The gallant Colonel Tiylor :and.
Lieutenant Colonel Adams hare been: /tangoed,
with this regiment, to the post of honor. The boys
are in fine spirits and ready for action.
THE NEW CHIEFTAIN.'
General F. W. Smith has assumed command of
the troops defending the lines of the e Susquehanna.
" Old .13aldy," as the soldiers call him, is fully alive
to the great work he has on hand. He has surveyed'
the country in advance of our present , position, and
is preparing to make a vigormis defence of our
State capital, by guarding or fortifying all of the
approaches to the place.
FROM THE FRONT.
,
I visited the front this afternoon , and foundevery
thing quiet, although the greatest activity prevails
among our troops. A detesisiined resistance Will be
made if the rebels attempt to take the city tOrmor
row. Captain Murray and our cavalry are picketing
the entire country in our front, up to a pcdntnear
Carlisle. Captain M.'s command had a skirmish
with the enemy to-day; at a place called •Walnut
Bottom, near Carlisle, in which he lost eleven of his
men wounded, and two killed. The , company - be,
longs to Harrisburg.
•
I visited all of the defences north of the city, and
found them very formidable, and, for the emergency,
admirable. Additional - redoubts are being tlfrown'
up, mounted, and occupied,
Col. ICnipe , s forces are retiring upon our main

THE NATIONAL ARMY MOVING
[Special Despatch to Ttie Press.] •
This morning at 11 o'clock I met the avant courier
of our army 111Parick street. He told me the whole
of General liooker's army were in motion, but it
seemed almost incredible that three days ago they
should be charging through Warrenton and captu
ring a whole company of rebels and a colonel, while
to-day they are marching quietly, orderly, and tri
umphantly through the muddy streets of Frederick.
Yet true it is ; for at 12 o'clock today the provost
guard attached to General Stahl's command flied
slowly through the street, while ten mounted bu
glers sounded a warlike strain, both loud and shrill,
bringing all the loyal people to the windows, who
gazed proudly : on the advancing columns. Flags
were thrown from the lattices, handkerchiefs were
waved by fair hands, and bright eyes melted in tri
umph and joy as they saw their brave defenders,
muddy and careworn, but radiant with bravery and
loyalty. And your correspondent acknowledges a
thrill of pleasure as he gazes on the manly, martial
bearing of our brave 2d Pennsylvania Cavalry, who,
at this moment, are slowly marching along beneath
his window. Those who pointed out to the rebels
the Unionists, and told them to rob them of
theirAorees and their property, now hide themselves
in thefieefusion of their closets. They show no signs
of rejoicing, and flutter no national emblem ; neither
do they wave with graceful gestures and smiling
faces their cambric handkerchiefs. Confusion covers
them all. . Shaine takes hold of them when they
contrast the cheerful bearing and good clothing of
our men, while I cannot help but think
" 'Twere wortk ten' yearrof peaceial life, one glance at
their array." - - -
The "sa, 6th, nth, and 12th Army Corps are now
passing through Frederick City. It is .reporte, the
rebels are from twenty to thirty thonsand strong at
Sputh Mountain, and for some ddYs back have been
entrenching there. This is not iinprobable, but the
Mai:citing host will soon dislodge then:lolnd every
rebel in Boonstione and Middleburg will soon be Un
der marching orders. -
Lee seems to have taken hie Choice between beg
gary and bullets,= between starvation and strategy.
He evidentlY means to risk considerable for proven
der. Almost pushed to thewall in his own territory,
where his cruel reign of terror has for a long time
awed every one into childish submission, does he
think to escape easily even upon questionable
grounds Whether the impending battle be fought
at Antietam or in Pennsylvania, still it will go hard
with him, for our men have been making profitable
'use of their time from the first Bull Run to Antie
tam, and the second battle of Antietam may crush
the rebel aimsr, eclipse the dawning glory of Lee and
ruin the would-be Southern Confederacy,
Many in-this city are. rejoicedto see our troops.
They show it by very - extravagant demonstration.
But there are those who prate of crops, who depre
cate war, and sigh for peace. All Such are rebels.

Special Correspondence of The Press.
IN CAMP ON MARYLAND HBIGIITS, June 27
Major Gen. French, late a corps commander in
the Army of the Potomac, took formal commemd of
the forces at this point to-day, Brig. Gen. Tyler
having been relieved. The first intimation Gen.
Tyler received that the command \visa to be" given
, into other hands, was through a statement pub
lished merely as a rumor in a 13altirnbre paper. He
discredited the statement, though, in the presence of
some of the subordinate commanders, he shrugged
his shoulders and said, " but it may- be." The
news spread through camp With that swiftness that
all rumors-fly in regard to - changes in command.
Late yesterday - afternonn Gen. Tyler was requested.
to rend an escort to receive Gen. French, who was
,at point of Rocks, and late in the evening the party
returned. The merits and services of the new com
mander were made the topic of discussion in the
tents of officers and soldiers during the night.
"Here's to Gen. French," was toasted by every
jovial coterie. "Long . may he prosper," was the
prayer of all. Evidently, the General comes here
to Meet with a confidence and enthusiasm seldom
vouchsafed to a commander who had not
yet made the acquaintance of his men. They
speak of him as, if they had been
_under his
eye during the wriole term - ,of their military service.
Maryland Heights is already a very strong position,
and with.the, activity and military skill which the
men Without having witnessed it with their material
* eyes, attribUte to General French, it, will be impreg
nable against whatever forcbs the rebellion can
- muster in this neighborhood. -You may rest assured
that this post will soon be heard from, and in a man
ner to reassure the country now so agitated in the
fear of _rebel invasion. General French was waited
upon today by the various inbordinatecommanders
Tend thegreeting was of the meat t cordial and felici

It is not expected that an attach will be made at
This place, for it is to the men here a consummatiOn
so devoutly to be wished,that lam inclined to think
the opportunity will not be granted.
The cavalry forces here which were under corn.;
mend of Colonel Mcßeynolds will, it is said=be
transferred to the command,of, General Stahl. Co
lonel Mcßeynolds is the. coinmander of the first New
York, and an officer. of much distinction.
The rebels are reported to be in large force upon
the old battle.ground of Antietam r andthey are said
to bii'fortifying the plaop to, resist any attack from
these headquarters. A reconnoissance tn Antietam
ter.day, revealed some veriimportant facts whilh
wilt-be of much service„tneurr. newcommander.
Plie rebel movements are carefully watched, and
they seldom march - in any direction without their
numbers and deetinatiOn being quite generally
known. A large rebel camp was distinctly seen
from the Heights , for many days. They numbered,
apparently, about 40,000.nien r and. were under com
mand of Ewell. They broke campon Wednesday,
before daylight, and started in the direction of Penn
sylvania. Prisoners who have been brought in by
our scOutil say that it was the general belief, as well
as hope, that Maryland Heights would• be sur
rounded, and the garrison compelled'toaurrender. It
is certain that the rebels cannot take the place by
storm, and it is not likelythat they couldcompel a
'surrender through the starying•out prodess.
Many of the regiments here:are accompanied by
full bands Of music, which 'make thenair vocal day
and night, with stirring
patriotism. The sanitary'
conditiom of the troops is excellent, and the situ
' ation eminently calculated to promote - cheerfulness
and health. Among the: regiments here is• the fith
Pennsyrvania Cavalry, Col. Gallagher commanding.
It is composed almost entirely ofr Philadelphians,
who nobly sustain the honor of their --Cemmon
wealth.' 'Few bodies of soldiery have so distin
guished themselves in the service as-trreisth. Under
General Milroy, in the Shenandoah' ytilley, they
did not earn the good Opinion of their superior officer
alone, but their, fellow-soldiers of other regiment&
here envied them the reputation which' attaches
to their' name. In the recent - bittle of Win
chester, their -loss -in killed, -wounded, and nits-
sing was enormous. Captain Dewees, of Corn
pany A, - for instance, reports but nine men now in
his company, having taken fifty into the fight.
Lieutenantjames Kane, of- Comylany-K, is among
the prisoners taken. Colonel... Gallagher did not
arrive here with :the regiment , from. Winchester.

and - Fruitless Daring of the National
Soldiers—The Attack to-be-Reneweil—Mo
grader Advanced from Texas.
Writing under date of the 17th from Port Hudson,
a correspondent of the New_ York Herald describes
the second advance against the enemy's works
THE GROUND.
As I have before indicated, in speaking of the eon
junction of our right and left,' the rebel defences
form nearly a right angle, both the lines of which
extend'to the river, enclosing a sharp bend in the
stream by which our gunboats found it so difficult to
pans. The most accessible approach apparently to
the rebel earthworks is over a clear field, about six
hundred yards in width, and which at first sight pre
ante the appearance of an almost perfectly level
piece of ground. This epot, however, since our last
assault, has been determined to be, although the most
inviting, the most treacherous place along the entire
line of rebel defences. Our soldiers, in their charge,
found it to be filled with deep, narrow gullies, too
small to cover a large body of troops, and too large to
make a passage over them even for infantry barely
possible, Horses are out of the question, and were not
used at this point. These artificial ravines are MMu
pletely covered with fallen trees and vines, which
are so arranged as to nearly obscure them from sight,
and make an advance over them a matter of ex
treme difficulty. In our charge upon the enemy's
lines at this spot it was impossible for our soldiers
to keep in regular order of battle. Frequently
whole squads of men wuld sink out-of sight only
to be resurrected by the assistance of their comrades.
Down the right line of the enemy's work all ap
proach to the fortifications is made exceedingly diffi
cult by high bluffs, andideep, irregular - gullies. The
enemy's rifle pits are, although bearing the appear
ance of very wide constructions, built upon the moat
approved Modern engineering skill. Here, again,
fallen trees have been so arranged as to make it im
possible to move artillery, or troops in line of bat
tle. The entire distance of rebel works presented
for our reducflen is nearly eight miles in extent.
THE FIGHT.-
In consequence of the repulse of the portion of
the 75th that succeeded in reaching the ditch, the
hand-grenaders could accomplish but little. In fact,
although they made many desperate and gallant at
tempts to be of Service, they rather damaged than
benefited our prospects of success; for, as they
threw their grenades over the rebel breastworks,
the rebels actually caught them and hurled them
back among us. In the, meantime, while - the
skirmishers were nobly endeavoring to sustain
themselves in their position, General Weitzel's co
lumn moved up as rapidly as possible, and made
a series of desperate assaults on the enemy's works,
which, for bravery and daring, the history of the war
can hardly furnish a parallel. At this time, the sun
having fairly risen, the fight became general. A fog,
Which had partially obscured the contending armies,
lifted and revealed their respective positions. The
enemy were fully prepared for us, and they lined
every part of their' fortifications with heavy bodies
of infantry. The battle had begun in earnest, and
General Paine's column, as well as General Weit
zel's, was actively engaged. Before proceeding fur
ther with the details of the fight of General Grove*
command, it will be necessaryto mention a fact that.
I have previously Omitted—namely, that under the
general plan of attack, as directed by General
Banks, Generals Augur and Dwight were to make
feints on the extreme left of General Grover's
position. to distract the attention of the enemy
from the main assault. Accordingly, before the en
gagement became general between General Grover's
command and the enemy, Generals Augur and
Dwight had attacked the enemy, as before indi
cated, on_General Grover's extreme left. It was
not the intention that the last named of these
forces should storm the rebel works, but hold the
enemy in check while General Grover was per
forming his part of the work according to the ori
ginal plan, which, had he been successful, would
have opened the way for the advance of our en
tire army on Port Hudson proper, which is sur
rounded, as it is understood, by a series of fortifica
tions more impregnable than any we have yet as
mulled. The fight on the part of General Dwight's
command was exceedingly severe, and scarcely
lees se with General Grover's. Gen, Dwight's loss
is killed and wounded will probably exceed two hun
dred. Gen, Augur's loss will fall considerably short
of that number. lieTder. Gen. - Grover's command
probably. the most desperate fighting was - done by
General Weitzel's old brigade. Colonel Smith,
leading these veterans—the heroes of many fights
—fell early in - the action, mortally wounded.
A ball pierced his spine and passed round to the
right side. The Colonel still lingers • but his death is
hourly expected. The charges made on the rebel
works by our brave soldiers showed a determination
to carry them at all hazards ; but human bravely on
thin occasion was not: adequate to. the accomplish
ment of their object. The most formidable obstacle
that presented itself as a barrier to - our success was
the rebel glade, which, at the point attacked, had
been constructed in such a manner as to make every
bullet tell that was fired from the rebel breastworks
while our troops were endeavoring to make the
accent. In fact, the great natural advantages and
engineering ability,".. at Port Hudson, have been
rather under than over-rated. Immediately upen
the fall of- Colonel Smith, Lieut. Colonel Von Pet
ten; of the 160th New York, 'took command of the
brigade, and gallantly led the charge, until all
further hope of driving the rebels from their posi
tion was gone, - Brigade after brigade followed in
rapid succession, 'storming the rebel works, until
compelled to fall back under the terrible fire of the
enemy. Conspicuous among the brigiides that did
the moat deperate 'fighting were those' under the
command of Colonels Kimball, MorgaM and Birge.
They were all, however, eventually repulsed with
great slaughter.
The fighting ceased at eleven o'clock in the morn
ang. -We having been'repulsed'in every assault, our
soldiers, underkommand of their officers; laid them
selves- down under, the shelter of the gullies, treeiCa
covered way, in fact, everything that could , affor -
them protection, andwaited for the day-to - psis and
darkness come on.' Many of Our wounded who were
accessible were carried from the field by squads de
tailed for that purpose. It is a shameful reflection
. on humanity that a large number of our soldiers, car
rying the, wounded and dying from 'the field.on
stretchers, were shot down by the enemy, and in se
veral instances thewounded were killed while being
borne from the field.. At, nightfall, however, we
commenced the burial, of our dead, and succeeded
before the morning in carrying most of our wounded
from the battle ground.
Our total leas in this last attack upon Port Hud
son will probably not fall much short of one thou
sand. It is rumored Suet as lam closing : his letter,
that we are to attack the enemy figain to-night.
INCIDENTS OF THE FIGHT.
During Sunday's fight our soldiers displayed the
most extraordinary gallantry. In some instances
- whole companied would march up to the rebel' en
trenchments, when those who had preceded them
had been literally annihilated before their eyes ;
and all this, too, without any of the usual urging on
of the officers. A reasonable degree of credit must
'also be given the rebels for coolness and Courage. I
noticed one rebel officer (for-a"wonder very gaily
dressed) who rode up to the angle where the general
attack was made,. and' in themost deliberate manner
possible, coolty,wiped the sweat from his brow '
while our shells were bursting in dozens about
him; and after examining the position of our forces
and giving directions to his men concerning some
disposition to be made of them, quietly trotted back
into the woods whence he came. The rebel infantry
appeareci to fear our Artillery more than our muskets,
for however,galling the fire was from ourtside they
never flinched, and only in' One instance del I see a
disposition on their part to run, and that was while
reinforcements were being brought up. Several of
our shells burst in their midst, making them break
ranks`and scatter in every direction. •
General Gardner was-in command, and rebel de
serters report him to havebeen very drunk on the
day of the fight. They say so long as there is any
whisky in Port Hudson he will never - surrender the
place. In all battles soldiers appear to take plea
sure in a sort of grim wit. I remember on the eve
before the battle, while some of our skirmishers were
endeavoring, under coverof darkness,to-drawciloser
to the rebel works, a rebel sentinel discovered them,
and helloed out, "How are you, Yank I" One of
our men replied, "Yes, we're bound to come." "All
rightr returned the rebel, "we have, got room
. enough to bury you." ' Many instances of bravery
displayed on the part of non-commissioned officers
acame under my notice during the battle. A ser
geant of the 91st New Yorkonthose name I was
unable to' learn, .after being severely wounded in
the :leg, was knocked doein by a spent ball, and fell
into a ditch. At the time of falling he-was probs.-
' bly bearing the colors - of his regiment, which, the
moment hesawlying prostrate on the ground, led
him' to exclaim: "I've lost a leg in this fight, but
I'll lose a-head before that .flag shall lie there."
Sergeant-Frederick COBEIUM, Co..H, 75th New
York, was wounded and went to the rear three
successive times . returning := again' , to the fight,
and Was only, finally carried from the field after
having received five wounds, the knit one of which
so stunned him that he could not fight any more:
The enemy's hospitals, after the battle began, seemed
to grew as.,rapidly as mushrooms in the dark. I
counted no ress than twelve hospital flags within a

Snicide and Murder.
r.ZRIV YOBS t June 27.—.9. terrible tragedy occurred
at a late hour on Thursday night, in the 'Twentieth
ward, which resulted in a woman named Mrs. John
Parr,' taking her own life. by means of a' dose of
strychnine: - .-The'partieulars of the affair are briefly.
these : Mr. John Parr, residing at No. 6haEighth ave
nue, 14.-occupation a hardware merchant, has for
some time past had irk • his employ a good.looking
girl; who goes by the name - of Nellie. She was for-.
merly a servant in - the family, but recently she had
been promoted to the .position of hOusekeeper for
11,11 s. Parr, and had been treated as one of the
family.
Mrs. Parr, for. some cause, •beeanie dissatisfied
- with -the girl's conduct toward her- husband, - and
took measures to assure herself of the real state of
the case. On Thursday night she found her hus
band and Nellie together under circumstances which
exasperated her, as a wife,- to the highest degree.
She therefore procured a bottle of oil of vitriol, and,
coining suddenly upon" the girl, threw it into - her
face. The iesult was to .put out both of•the girl's
eyes, and otherwise injure her so much that no hopes
are entertained other, recovery. Mrs. Parr then took
from a bottle a large dose of strychnine and sval
lowed it. • She died immediately. .

A.Daring Piracy off Portland—Capture and
Explosion of the U. S. Cutter Cushing--
The Pirates Engaged and Captured—Tire
Rebel Lieutenant Reed a Prisoner.
PORTLAND, Me., June 27,—The U. S. revenue
cutter Caleb Cushing went to sea during the night
without orders or officers. Captain Clark died yes
terday, and an officer was expected onto take charge
of her today. The Cushing was heavily armettatai
provisioned for a two months' cruise. Stearnens
are being armed to send in pursuit of her.
Lieutenant Merriman was sent here to take charge
of- her. He immediately started in one of the steam
ers sent in pursuit of the Cushing.
The steamers are now engaging her, ohe having
fired six guns at the steamers Chesapeake and Fo
rest City.
The engagement is still going on, as the Fans can ,
be distinctly heard in the city.
PORTLAND, June 27, 2 o'clock.—A tremendous ex
plosion has suet taken place, and clorelb of smoke
arevetn issuing from the spot where the cutter was
during the fight ; but the vessel has disappeared, and
it is thought that she has been blown up.
NEW 'YORK, June 27.—Special despatches from
Portland say that Lieutenant Davenport was in
charge of the Caleb Cushing when she ran away.
The Forest City and Chesapeake took two hundred
troops aboard.
THE CUTTER BLOWN UP.
PORTLAND, Me., June 27.—The cutter has - been
blown up, and the steamers sent in pursuit are re
turning. It is reported that the small boats put off'
from the cutter before she blew up, and the Forest
City is chasing them.
PORTLAND, June 27.—The crew of the cutter
Caleb Cushing seem to have escaped, before she was
blown up, in boats. They _probably sought , refuge
in a schooner which was near by, as the 'Forest City
chased one of the boats downtowards Green Island,
where she caught her. She is now towing her in.
The Forest City had only twelve-pounders and the
Chesapeake only six-pounders; but their intention
was to run down the cutter at once, as they were no
match for her 32- poundere.
The Chesapeake was manned by twenty men of
the 7th Maine Regiment; under Colonel Mason, to
gether with a company of the State Guard, which
were ready with full ranks in half an hour, and also
by as many armed citizens as could be conveniently
taken, who volunteered with enthusiasm.
Captain Leighton, Government inspector, over
seeing the building of gunboats here, took charge of
the Chesapeake's battery, and Captain Willette
commanded. The Forest City was commanded by
Captain' Liecomb. Collector Jewett and Mayor
McLellan attended to the arming and despatching
of the boats, which was done with great expedition.
LATER.
PORTLAND, Me., June 27, 6 o'clock P. M.--Capt.
John J. Liscomb, of the Forest City, says his vessel
came within gunshot of the Caleb Cushing half an
hour before the Chesapeake got along. The Cushing
Bred at the Forest City six times without showing
any flag whatever. The Forest City then laid-to,
waiting for the Chesapeake to come up.
When the Chesapeake arrived. and after a con
sultation, it was agreed to board the Cushing. The
Chesapeake took the lead in this, being a propeller
and also 'being protected by cotton bales.
The rebels, perceiving . the intentions of the Chesa
peake and Forest City,. became frightened, and
abandoned the Cushing in two boats, and sent off in
a third boat the regular crew of the Cushing, whom
they had placed in irons. This last boat was
im
mediately picked up by the Chesapeake.
The other boats, with the rebels on board, steered
for Harpwell shore, and were pursued and picked up
by the Forest City. The rebels proved to be twenty
two in number.
The Forest City also picked up a small boat con
taining a Mr. Btbber. who had been set adrift from
the Caleb Cushing. Bibber, with - his partner, was
captured yesterday by the rebels, while in a small
boat, off Demers' Cove Island. He informed Capt.
Liscomb that he was captured by the schooner
Archer, of Southport, which was in possession of a
rebel crew from the pirate Tacony, and not from the
Florida, as was reported by the crew of the Caleb
Cushing. He also says that the Archer came in last
night and anchored below Miney, intending to burn
the two new gunboats building at Portland, and cut
out the revenue cutter Cushing and the steamer
Forest City. This they found themselves very much
troubled to do, but at two o'clock this morning they
boarded the Cushing quietly, land seized the small
portion of her crew aboard. - put them in irons, and
made their way out of the harbor through llussey's
sound, thus avoiding the fire of the forts.
After passing the forts Captain Liscomb learned
the intention of the rebels, and immediately pursued
the Archer, which was making her way to the east
ward as rapidly as the light breeze would permit.
Captain Liscomb captured the Archer, and found
three rebels and Mr. Ribber's partner aboards„He
tower her up to the city. .4) 5 ,..
From the report of Mr. Bibber, Captain Llecomb -
thinks that there are three or more schooners with
rebel crews MC board on our coast, destroying our
fishermen. The:. Archer had only a howitzer on
board, and these schooners are probably lightly
armed. Mr. Bibber also reports that there is a rebel
steamer on the Coast, and the Forest City passed a
suspicriouslooking black steamer off Cape Porpoise
at - two o'clock this morning, when coming from
Boston. At first it made for the Forest City, but
afterwards kept to the southeast.
The Forest City arrived up at 4j4" o'clock this
afternoon( landing the rebel prisoners at Fort
Prebles-The Forest City, as well as :the Chesapeake,
was received " with the greatest enthusiasm .by our
citizens. The former vessel was armed with two
rifled 12-pounders, andshad on board thirty troops
from Fort Preble, and one hundred armed citizens.
She iliftot get near enough to the Cushing to hit
her, and the shots from the latter, though coming
very close, fell a little short.
We would undoubtedly have captured the . Caleb
Cushing had , not the rebels deserted her and blown,
her up, as-the soldiers, citizens, and sailors were ale
..anxfous to have a hand-to-hand fight, not being able
to'cope with the big gun of the Cushing.
The promptitude with which Collector Jewett,
Mayor McLellan, and the citizens armed and des
patched two packet steamers to capture the rebels
has proved most fortunate.: Many believed this
morning that the whole story about the seizure of
the Cushing , was a joke, and that she had only gone
off Slyly on a cruise through the vagaries of the lieu
tenant commanding her.
But in less than two hours the Forest. City and
Chesapeake were despatched with as many armed
citizens as they could aceommodate. The people
then began to believe that there was. some truth in
the story -and that it was no false and foolish
alarm. . .
PORTLAND, Mn.,3 s June 27, ' oclock P. M: Your
reporter has - Just come from Fort Preble. The com
mandant there will not allow the prisoners to be
...questioned to-night. -
There are two rebel officers among the prisoners,
named as follows:
-Lieutenant C. W. Reed, who has a regular com
mission from the Confederate navy,• and'was late
Commander of the Tacony and Eugenie; and IL
Brown, third assistant engineer of the Florida, de
tached from the Tawny.
Two books were found on the prisoners, one a
memorandum book, with instructions, etc., which - I
was not allowed to see, as it may contain important
evidence for the Government, and the other an ac
count book, containing an important list in the back
part, seemingly, of the vessels captured by the rebels.
It is as follows : Jacob Bell, Star of Peace, Oneida,
Commonwealth, Rate Dyer, Lapwing, Colcord, Hen
rietta, Clarence, Estelle, Windward, Cause, 'Ann
Delabran, Byzantium, Isaac Webb, Shatemuck,
Whistling Wind, Tacony, Goodspeed,-Mary Alvira,
Arabella, Umpire, Margand, Florence, Ripple, Eli
zabeth Anne, Rufus Choate, Ada, Alfred Partridge,
M. A. Shindler, Kale Stuart, Archer, Wanderer,
and a Sloop. No particulars are given` about any of
these vessels: • " 4
.The commandant of the fort informed me =that it
appears, from a memorandum, that. Lieutenant Reed
and his crew went aboard of the Tacony about the
14th of May. On the morning of the 25th of June
he seems to have burned the- Tacony and gone
aboard the schooner Archer. '
Lieutenant Reed's last memorandion says :
"It is my intention by go along the coast, with the
view* of burning the shipping in some exramed har
bor, or cutting out some steamer."
A police force went to Fort Preble this evening to
demand the prisoners, in behalf of the civil authori
ties; but the commandant stated that he should
hold them as prisoners of war, subject to the coin
reands of the War Department.
It is reported , by the regular crew of the Cushing
that a boat's crew of -ten men escaped from her this
morning. If this is true, they may seize some other
schooner and make more trouble.
A patrol fore' will be stationed by the harbor
forthwith.
The pirates could find Only a few shots aboard the
Cushing, and therefore fired grape after the first few
rounds. If they had known how feebly the Chose
peake and Forest City were armed, they could have
sunk them, but the determined course of the steam
ers made the pirates think they were overmatched.
Captain Leighton, who led the attack in the Che
sapeake, informs me that he intended to have run
the Cushing down by superior weight, or that, fail
ing to'take her in that way, by boarding her with
superior numbers, which the grape shot of the rebels
would have made rather a dangerous proceeding.

Cavalry Elittz l . Eou dionn — Rleismond.
The Richmond .DiSpetch of June 23 says it
is
thought In Richmond that
_Vicksburg must fall,
without the interposition of a miracle, but it tinder
takes to show that, withis resolute commander, and
with the co-operation of Johnston and Kirby Smith,
Grant will not only not take Vicksburg, but win
himself be put on the defensive.
It says that Johnston heats powerful army, amt.'
that, though apparently slow, he has had to Mum'.
ize an army in the face of theenemy, to supply it the munitions of war, and to encounter other
unheard-of difficulties. Rehm( surmounted them all,
and, now that the water is down, we may expect to.
hear from him in a manner that shalt sflence his de
tractors forever.
The See and; however, of an earlier &ate,. says
Official despatches from Tifilliken'ir Meld etate
that onr attack upon that piney was a failure. The
enemy had three lines of works. He was-driven out
of. two, but made a desperate stand at the thfrd, and
with the assistance of his gunboats, repelled our
forces. - I.Tothing is known outside of official circles
of Kirby Smith's movements.
-A courier from Port Hudson, with , despatches te.
Gen. Johnston, arrived last night He reports that
the garrison is in fine condition and spirits. Etsnks'
force is estimated at 20,000. It is also reported that
be has abandoned the idea of steaming theplace,
and gone to ditching.
The liispalch. says :
We have a report that a considerable battle toolc
place at Big Creek Gap, in East Tennessee, on Fri
day last, between the forces of Gem Buckner - and
the Federals, under Gen. Burnside, in which the
enemy are said to have been repulsed twice, with:
heavy loss. Burnside then commenced a flank
movement, and Gen. Buckner fell back to cover
Knoxville. The point at which the Tatter took up
position- was Clinton, within fffteert miles of the
East Tennessee and Georgia railroad.
Other reports state that the enemy had possession
of the railroad at Lenoir, and that they, were ad
vancing in another body, and, after having been de
feated at Knoxville, were retreating eastward. The
telegraph wires between Bristol and Knoxville had
been cut, supposed by the 'Union men of East Ten
nessee.
- The Dispatch, in speaking of the late cavalry fights,.
admits that the rebel cavalry are losing prestige.
It thinks our horsemen are not equal to theirs, but
that ours are better equipped and mounted. The
Dispatch, in another column, says
We bare a few additional particulars of the
cavalry fight in Loudoun last week, and from these
we learn that the affair was one of much more
portance than was at first supposed.
Our informant represents that the „enemy. were
driven out of Middleburg on Wednesday evening
by the brigade of Gen. Robertson. On Tuesday
morning the tight was renewed, and at first the
enemy were driven back with the lose of some 406
prisoners, belonging to a Rhode Island cavalry regi
ment.
In the site - moon the enemy was heavilvreinforced
and throughout the remainder of the day the fight
ing is represented to have been qUite severe, and
altogether indecisive. Orr Friday morning heavy
firing was again commenced, and report., states that
the enemy opened upon our columns with artillery,
'inflicting considerable damage upon the brigade
of General H. F. Leer and other brigades. This,
however, is mere rumor, and not wholly entitled to
credit.
This nlnch we are confident that up to noon of
Thursday we had a decided advantage in the series
of fights that had taken place, and we have a firm
faith in the gallantry and ability of, our cavalry to
contend successfully with, the .forces of Stoneman.
We understand that a despatch was yesterday after
noon received at the War Department from Gen.
R.:E. Lee, stating that .the roses under General
Stuart had been contending with the enemy's caval
ry for several days, with success.
This is all we are able to learn of the fight up to a
late hour last night. If Gen. Lee telegraphs that
our forces have been successful, there "can be no
doubt of thejesult, and we therefore conclude that
the enemyhrui been repulsed, if not signally, at least
sueee.ssfroly.
The Richmond Dispatch, of the 23d, also has the
following
For the past few days public attention hastbeen
withdrawn in a measure from the operations.around.
Vicksburg tic , the brilliant achievements of our army
under Gen. Lee on the northern-border of Virginia,
and in Pennsylvania and Maryland. It is gratify
ing to know, however, that our succeses in the
Mississippi rival those of our arms of the Potomac.
. .
It was stated in the city, early yesterday morning
that information had been received of the landing
of a heavy column of Unimiists at some point on
the York river. West Point is the safest base of
operations on- that river, and we learn that yester
day, when the-train of the Richmond and York
river Railroad left the White House, there were
come Yankees at the Point belOw. The train brought
up one Yankee deserter, who'had left his comrades
during the recent Chickahominy raid.
The rumors mentioned may be baseless, though
the Fortress Monroe correspondent of a Baltimore
paper, writing on the 18th, says that important
movements are in progress in that vicinity. With
the forces from Suffolk. the Peninsula Yankees
might- risk a feint on Richmond, with the hope
turning general attention from .Washington.

TIMES' CORRESPONDENCE FROM THE REBEL STATES.
The London Times of June 11 contains a corral
ponden ce from Richmond, dated May 17, which
gives a biographical sketch of Gen. Stonewall Jack
son, and some details of the battle at Chancellor
vile. The correspondent speaks disparagingly of
the conduct of the German troops. and thus refers
to the experience -of a Prussian officer in the Con
federate army:
"Their flight was indignantly.witnessed by Capt.
Scheibert, their countryman, who joined - the Con
federate army about two months ago as C01111:11i11-
stoner, sent by the Prussian Government to report
upon that army's. organization and efficiency, and
who is attached to the staff of Gen. Stuart. An in
cident which befell this officer after the battle of
Sunday has afforded general- amusement. Anxious
to procure forage for his sorry steed after the great
-battle at Chance,llorville, he undertook an expedi
tion. in-search - of a house, and, after wandering
some distance,- Came npon a. shanty, in. the door of
which stood a negro woman. He was proceeding to
importune her, in the best English which: he could
command, for corn, when from behind her issued III)
lees than six Yankees, - musket on shoulder: -Capt.
Scbiebert was dressed in Confederate uniform, and
although there is good reason to think that the Yan
kees desired much more to be taken than to take
prisoners, his fate appeared inevitable. '
-
"But taking heart of grace, be drew and lion- -
fished a tremendous German sabre, exclaiming,
‘Burrendair! Behind me finds itself all the naval
/cry.' The Yankees made no remonstrance, and he
marched them musket still on shoulder, for a mile
and a half, until he rejoined General Stuart.. :Nat
before he reached the General, one of the prisoners,
thinking that some protest Wait needed under the
circumstances, exclaimed, Captain, had we known
that your cavalry was such a long way off, we'd-have
taken you prisoner instead.' As Captain Scheibert
was standing near General Lee during the battle, es
spent bullet rolled nearly up to the feet of the latter.
Picking it up, the General politely handed itto the-
Captain as a memento, destined, doubtless, to make
its way to Prussia and adorn many a tale hereafter.
Captain Scheibert expresses his enthusiastic admi
ration of the Han- and spirit with. which the Confe
derate soldiers skirmish and fight."
Our correspondent gives the following, account of
the loss on both Bides:
"While, in my - anxiety:-to avoid that parttatitp
which it is impossible for any Englishman who ,
thoroughly knows both aides in this quarrel to feel',
I estimated the Southern loss at 10,000 men in killed.
wounded, and missing ; it is now apparent from the
official returns my estimate' was excessive. Here
is the statement just made public on high authority:
Killed 1
Wounded 4 '
906
Prisoners - • 1,600
Total ' 7 500
",On the otber hand, here is the official return of
the Yankee prisoners sent down to,Richmond from
the Rappahannock between the let and 12th of May
Pit at batch 2 500
Second batch - - 1,300
Third batch 1 750
Total 8,950.
"In additibn there are DOW •Iying field
hospitals of the Confederates no less than 1,700
wounded' Federal& My estimate, therefore, which •
rated the Federal prisoners at between 8,000 and
9,000, was again slightly in excess, as their actual
number was 7,650, 'an #gg reg te exceeding the total
amount "of, the Confederate killed. and
prisoners by 150. Of the killed and wonaded in the
Federal army, your readers can form some estimate
from the admitted fact - that Sedgvriek's corps, of -
which the fighting was child's Play as compered
with the bloody work at Ohanknilorville, lost 6,000.
in:killed and wonded."
