TILE CUMBERLAND VALLEY.
Excitement among the People—Flight of
the NeWroes—The Situ:Mon.'
(Corresrondeuce of The Prem.)
ClIAMIOSILSIIVIIC), SUIY 10, 1864
The Cumberland Valley has again boon thrown
into a ferment of excitement by the rumored advance
of the rebels. During the past few weeks the im
pression • seemed to be gaining ground among the
people that-the enemy wore about to make another
grand demonstration in this direction. As no suffi
cient reason existed for this, however, everything
was done by General Couch to allay the rising alarm
of the disquieted country folk. On Sunday after
noon last their worst fears seemed to ho 'realized
when a despatch reached General Couch; at his
headquarters In Charuhersburg, that a large rebel
force had attacked and defeated General Sigei at
Martinsburg, nod was advancing down the Shenan
doah Valley. This news was immediately made
public, and Created considerable excitement. The
merchants and warehousemen at once began pack
ing and preparing their griods for removal. During
the night the Franklin county farmers began pass
ing through town with their stock, stern experience
having taught them caution. Ity Monday morning
there was a continous stream of horses, mules, and
contrabands' pouring through the town, cash with
one end in view, vie., to keep ahead of the rebels.
About this time a . New York battery arrived on a
train from Harrisburg, and preparations wore made
for defence. It was gratifying to see the determina
tion of the military and Minns of Chambersburg to
defend the town. Preparations were made to throw
up temporary fortifications, and on Monday evening,
when a despatch was received announcing the ad_
vance of the 9bois to this side of the river, there
was a spirit manifested which seemed to indicate
that our men would stand by their guns to the last
moment. Thts conduct is in marked contrast to that
of last year, when an unaccountable stupor fell upon
the people..
THE STAMPEDE OF THE CONTRABAEDS
This is one of the most striking features of a rebel
advance. At the first intimation of their approach
begins the dayhf trial to the poor negro. All their
little property is collected together, and they start
on their pilgrimage down the Valley to Harrisburg,
their Mecca and city of refnge. The road is lined
with them ; whole families, from the old father to
the toddling child, go struggling along, terror de
picted on their countenances, and filled with wild
and distorted accounts of the advance of the enouay.
While one is saddened at the misery of the
poor . creatures, ho cannot but be amused at
their appearance and uncalled for panic. I' met
an old man yesterday, the fortunate possessor of an
old rickety wagon and horse, his available property
consisting of a bundle and two tin pans, making
extraordinary exertions to outstrip his brethren on
the road. Standing up, he was administering the
most severe blows on his poor beast with an old
rope. Altogether he would have made a fit charac
ter for the pen of a Dickens. On my remonstrating
with him for his cruelty and uncalled for fright, toll
ing him that the rebels were yet thirty miles In his
rear, he replied, "Yes, ash ! yes, sah ! but I'se afraid
of do flank movement!" He is, doubtless, ere this
at Harrisburg, safe from "di flank movement."
WHERE ARE THE REBELSI
Wednesday afternoon infOrMation was received
that the Invading force had entered and passed
through Hagerstown, and was advancing upon
Chambersburg. This news seemed to be confirmed
by the departure of a long train of cars, containing
the goods of the merchants and the machinery from
the railroad shops, also the rolling Stock of the road.
Thursday the news was received that the rebels had
retired from Hagerstown without destroying any pub
lic or private property. Friday noon, that they had
again advanced, levying a contribution of 850,000
upcin the eltizensiand, after burning the warehouses,
Government stores, &c., retiring. On Saturday
everything seemed calm and the town was resuming
its usual quiescent state. From the multitude of
rumors and exaggerated reports it Is simply absurd
to endeavor to learn anything definite. Panic
strieken farmers are continually dashing into town;
each witlia different story. As a remarkable In
stance of terror increasing the imaginative powers
of a man, one yesterday informed me that he had
seen four hundred thousand rebels, alt mounted; in
Green6stalle. That the rebels have evacuated lia
gerstown and fallen back to the main body Is evi
dent.
The history of affairs from the beginning, as tar
RS I have been able to learn, is this : The rebel ex.
pedition across thaPidomac is led by Gen. Early,
the successor of Stonewall Jackson, in command of
his celebrated division. The force is variously esti
mated at from twelVe totwenty thousand. Cavalry
and artillery accompany it. It came from Win-
Chester, in the Shenandoah valley, advancing from
there in two columns. One marched to Harper's
Ferry, twenty miles distant; the other tolMartins
burg, eighteen miles north. The Martinsburg co
lumn met Sigel's advance south of Martinsburg.
Sigel, however, retreated and evacuated the town.
At Martinsburg the rebels again divided. One
part followed Sigel east to Shepherdstown, on the
Potomac, eight miles above Harper's Ferry. The
other marched to Falling Waters, ten 'miles above
Shepherdstown, compelling Sigel to cross the river
at this point. lie abandoned Shepherdstown, and
marched to Sharpsburg, on the Antietam battle
field. One body of rebels followed him. Hearing
that the other body had crossed the river at Falling
Waters and Williamsport, Sigel retreated to Har
per's Ferry. This left the road into Pennsylvania
open, witlut a Unkm s oldier to oppose the enemy's
advance. '
The column of the enemy which marched from
Winchestir to Harper's Ferry met the Union ad
vance at Leetown. A skirmish took place, and our
troops retired to Harper's Ferry, and withdrew
across the river to Maryland Heights. They there
burned the supplies, and destroyed the bridge which
crossed the river. Tho rebels now occupied the
town. As soon as Harper's Ferry was reached the
rebels sent a force of cavalry and artillery ten miles
down the south bank of the Potomac, opposite Point
of Rocks. 'Here, for some distance, the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad runs along the water's edge.
The rebels fired on a passing train, and compelled
the abandonment of that portion of the road. Thoy
crossed over and toro up the track, and again re
crossed: Their object is to prevent troops being sent
from Washington, along the railroad, to Harper's
Ferry.
The position, at the last accounts, was as follows:
There was a small Union garrison pt Maryland
Heights; Sigel, with the; troops from Martinsburg,
has reached that place. The rebels were on the
south bank, and on the hills around it. A force was
opposite Point of Rocks, ton miles below. A force
was at Sharpsburg, six miles north, and another
coming towards Sharpsburg, from Falling Waters.

Detail of an American Student in Ger.
nmay.
A FUNERAL FROCESBION OF GERMAN STUDENTS.
(Correspondence of the N. Y. Evening Post.]
BONN ON THE Bums, June 23, 1.864.
This quiet University town was a few days ago
thrown into a state of considerable excitement by
a Melancholy accident, which removed from the
small circle of Americans resident here one of its
most respectable members, and afforded in some
of its consequences a curious illustration of Ger
man character and habits. • The occurrence was
the death, by drowning, of Tames Fitz Byrne, of
St: Louis, iuo., who had been living in Bonn for
nearly - a year as a student in the University. On
the afternoon of Wednesday, June 8, he went with
a friend, for the purpose of bathing, to . one of the
floating baths which are anchored in the Rhine,
opposite tho town and near the further bank.
These establishments, it should be said, contain
only dressing rooms; but as a safeguard against the
„rapidity of the current, which here flows at the
rate of five or six miles an hour, a small encloihre Is
formed about each of them by a floating barrier
of logs. •
Air. Byrne bad no sooner entered the water within
one of these enclosures than ho was seized, as it is
supposed, by cramp which wholly deprived him of
the control of his limbs," for he immediately wont
below the Surface, and was in an instant swept by
the current under the barrier and down the stream.
Ho reappeared several times at the surface, appa
rently quite helpless, but the force of tho current
was so great that, though the bathing-master a t once
plunged in after him, it was impossible to reach
him, and he was carried In a few moments Out of
sight. 'No trace of the body was discovered for se
veral days and it was not until the following Mon
day morning that a tele g ram was • received an
nouncing its recovery. It had been found on the
previous evening, four days after the occident, seve
ral miles below Dusseldorf, and nearly sixty miles
front Bonn.
As' soon ns the body was received hero it was
treated wills unusual mnrks of attention by the
personal friends of Mr. Byrne, by tho students of
the University, and by the Roman Catholic Church,
to which communion ho belonged.. On Monday,
June 13th, in the parish church, of St. Martin, "a
solemn soul-service," as it was called in the printed
"
notice, was held for the lost student or philo
sophy." In the Bonn Zeitung of Wednesday, the
lath Inst., appeared the announcement of another
requiem on the next day, and an "address to James
Fitz Byrne, stud. Phil."
In the same paper notice was given that:the buri
al would take place at nine o'clock'in the evening,
with. a torch-light procession of the students. As
the procession left the University it was headed by
a band playing a funeral march ; behind ; them was
borne a glided cross, which was Milowed by the
priests in their official robes. Next came the hoarse,
drawn by . four horses, and shaking with black
plumes. Behind it walked the. American friends of
the deceased, then the Faculty of the University,
whose respect and esteem, for him were thus stri
kingly displayed, and then several of the " corps n
of students, distinguished by the color of their caps,
each corps carrying - a flag, had each student a
torch. The whole cortege may, perhaps, have num
bered two hundred.
As they moved slowly along to the cemetery, dis
tant about half a mile from the University, now and
then a hat was lilted among the spectators as the
cross was carried by, but the bubble of the irrepressi
ble German tongues was scarcely diminished, and
the rollicking crowd poured on after the procession.
At the grave the customary Roman Catholic services
were periermed, and at their close the students ' un
der the direction of a loader, *hose form was dimly
visible to those outside of tho procession, and so
outside of the graveyard, through the smoke of tho

PHILADELPHIA, TUI
A Sword for Semmes.
(prom the London folly Telegraph, June 24 l r
We are invited by the letter of Commander Pim,
which we print in :mother part of our columns, to
encourage a subscription which is to be sot on root
for the purpose of presenting a sword to Captain
Semmes, of the Alabama. We insert the letter,
but decline altogether to approve or assist Its oh
ject. Thom who start It are, to our way of thinking,
a great deal more enthusiastic than sensible ; and
wo confess to some astonishment in finding the
names of naval officers at the head of the movement.
Navel officers ought to know, if they have ever 90311
any service at all, that the career of the Alabama,
until her last fatal and really gallant encounter,
has not been altogether characterized by that
which Commander Pim calls "naval daring."
On the contrary, Captain Semmes has been
a hundred times too prudent to risk the most useful
vessel of the Confederate States al the game of "ham
mer and tongs." What he has done—and done with
uncommon skill and success—has been to pounce
down upon the unarmed and defenceless traders of
the North, and to make himself scarce when any of
their heavy war.ships hove in sight. To do this, as
Capt. Semmes has accomplished It, argues good
seamanship, and has been a splendid service to the
cause for which ho cruised. Indeed, this one vessel,
with her great tate of speed and übiquitous move
ments, hes not only destroyed millions of dollars
worth in Federal property, but frightened off the
seas many more ships than she has captured. She
lies been a sort of bonito among the flying fish till
thorsarge harpooned her, to the humane relief
of the small and helpless fry of the imam But
this kind of career has been possible only
because of her wonderful rate or speed. The
best seamanship in the world could not have
saved the Alabama so long if she had not been
ebb to make fifteen knots whenever a dangerous
'pursuer appeared. If a sword is to be given to any
body therefore, it should be presented, we think, to
Illy. Laird, or to his foreman of works ; for, se fur as
the sailing of the famous cruiser Is Concerned, her
constructors are the real heroes. Perhaps, however,
the promoters of the present movement do not put
their project upon this -round. We can hardly
think they would, for British officers ought not to be
the persons to applaud the "naval daring' , of at
tacking, with a largo lighting crow and eight
heavy guns, n defenceless merchantman, and then
mud there transhipping her helpless hands, and
scuttling or setting tirena the vessel. We should
class this kind of action under any other head than
heroic, and so wo think would Captain Semmes
himself. If we are not mistaken in our esti
mate of that gentleman, ho himself is far too gal
lant a seamen to accept a sword for work which
never cost him the danger of drawing Ms own.
Let us suppose, then, that It is only for the war
like achievements of the famous cruiser that this
ornamental weapon Is to be presented. But hero
aoTileirnmtahretlaclisnectisof by ap n t o ai r i la e n ea s ca s e t s ro w nff i ; ei the we only•
re
collect was when lie decoyed MI unfortunate wooden
paddle - wheel steamer under his guns by hoisting the
nglish flag and then sent her to the bottom with
ono broadside.- That incident, at any rate, although
doubtless more or less justifiable, is not quite the
thing to be publicly commemorated. Let us finally
understand Commander Pint's enthusiasm, then, to
be poured out on account of the action off Ohor
bourg. There Is, perhaps, no such objection here•
-The challenge was boldly accepted ; the tight was
gallantly fought out ; stronger force, good gunnery,
and better luck decided the victory for the Federal
vessel ; nod we think Captain Semmes well de
serves, as a sailor, all theconsolation and applause
which he can get.
But not from us. It is simply mischievous and
Meddlesome for British officers to set about collect
.ing guineas for Captain Semmes. Indeed, we
should bo neither displeased nor surprised to hear
that they had received - , in their capacity as servants
of the public, en official rap upon the knuckles for their
pains. To collect enough gold to buy a handsome
sword would be easy enough, of course ; everybody is
agreed that the captain Mille sunken Alabama han
dled his swift ship with uncommon success, and that
he fought her in her one and only engagement with
sufficient courage to prove that, had his business
been to fight instead of to plunder, ho would 'Mire
been a valuable officer. Many persons are also of
opinion that, whether he aided his cause by cruising
or fighting, It was a just one; and some of them, we
doubt not, would subscribe guineas enough to make
a handsome presentation. But they would do an ex
ceedingly.silty and unpatriotic thing. They are not
called upon to express a judgment upon Capt. S.'s
valor ; they can applaud It as much as they like—in
private • but why compromise a difficult position
by public action I We have had a good deal too
much to do already with .the Alabama. She was
built in England, she had an English crew on board
her when she went down, she fought the action with
English cannon, and tier commander—we are pleased
to know—eselped by the humanity of au English
yachtsman. That seems to us quite enough com
plication on our part with the destroyed cruiser,
without abusing the absurd fashion of testimonials
in favor of her captain. At any rate, If is sub:scrip- -
tion is to be raised, It should be by sonic other per
sons than the officers of a Government who have
been engaged in difficult correspondence with Ame
rica upon the subject of the vessels which the Ala
bama has destroyed. We are strongly Impressed by
the proposal, but In this way, that we wish half-pay
commanders and admirals had some business of their
own to mind,and would let other people's alone.
Perhaps it. niay suggest a little prudence to Com
mander Pim, and moderate his admiration for the
Alabama's career, if he reflects upon the dangerous
precedent which she has established: A swift and
able steamship, built, manned, and equipped in a
foreigriport, and sailing out oftt under the nose of the
law. which she defied, she has singly cleared the sea
01 Federal trading vessels: It 'was the first experi
ment or the kind since the introduction ofpteam, and .
has been complete. What it proves is that the sail
ing commerce of the most powerful maritime nation
must lie at the mercy of one or two Such cruisers, so
long as they can outstrip their strong pursuers.
This discovery, at the present moment, when an
European war impends, does not seem to us the
kind of one which Englishmenl ought to endorse with
swords and guineas. We should not much enjoy its
repetition ourselves if the Prussians and Austrians
were to buy faSt steamers. at - New York or New Or
leans, and turn them loose upon our gold ships and
tea-trade Indiamen. It was to protect unartimul user
ehentunen from this obvious peril that the Congress
at Paris die - all-it-ceuld-to put demi privateering.-
'Federal America would not accept the proposal, and
she has been not unjustly punished In consequence ;
but England was wise enough to meet it half way ;
and those are either foolish or 111-Informed who do
not see that the Alabama is abad precedent fbr our
selves. The German Powers are as destitute of
naval resources as the Confederates; and it is said
that they have meditated, in case of war, the same,
resort to make up fbr this. Let the Alabama alone,
therefore, we say to these maritime enthusiasts ;
quite enough mischief is already afoot between
England and America.= her account without em
broiling it by subscribing a handful or two of money
to purchase a keepsake for the gallant Confederate
Captain. At any rate, if busybodies and quidnunes
cannot be easy without presenting jags, or mugs,
or
coffee-pota, or swords to somebody or other, we de
cline ourselves to lend the least encouragement to
such a project, which, if it were general, would be a
blunder, and being only a holeand.corner affair or
the clubs, becomes ridiculous and unmeaning.

BIG SHANTY, Gll., Juno 21, leS.
General Burbridge, Coot's! District of Kentucky:
GENERAL: The recent raid of Morgan, and the
concurrent acts of men stylin„lthemSelvos Confecle- -
rate partisans or guerillas, call for determined mi•
tion on your part.
Even on the Southern " State Rights" theory,
Kentucky has not seceded. Her people, by their
votes and by their actions, have adhered to their
allegiance to the National Government, and the
South would now coerce her out of our Union and
into theirs, by the very dogma of " coercion," upon
which so much stress was laid at the outset of the
war, and which carried into rebellion the people of
the middle and border slave States. .
Put politics aside, these acts of the so-called parti
sans or guerillas are nothing but simple-murder,
horse-stealing , arson, and other well defined crimes
which do not sound so well under their true name
as more agreeable ones of warlike meaning. .
Plow, before starting on this campaign, I foresaw,
as you remember, that this very ease would arise,
and I asked Governor Bramlette to at once organ
ize in each county a small, trustworthy band, under
the sheriff if possible and at one dash arrest every
man in the community who was dangerous to It;
end also every fellow hanging about the towns, vil
lages, and cross-roads, who had no honest calling,
the material out of which guerillas arc made up ;
but this sweeping exhibition of power doubtless
seemed to the Governor rather arbitrary.
The fact Is, in our country personal liberty luisbeen
so well secured that public safety is lost sight or in
our laws and Constitution; and the fact is we are
thrown back ono hundred years In 'civilization, law,
and everything else, and will go right straight to'
'anarchy and the devil if somebody don't arrest our
downward progress. We, the military, must do it,
end we have right and law on our side. • All go
vernments and communities have a right to guard
against real and even supposed danger. The whole
people of Kentucky must not 'bb - kept Ina stare of
suspense and real danger, lest a few Innocent men
should be wrongfully accused.
la. You may order all your post and district com
manders that guerillas are not soldiers, but wild
beasts, unknown to the usages of war. To be re
cognized as soldiers, they must be .enlisted, en
rolled, officered, uniformed, urmod and equipped
by recognized belligerent power, and must; if de
tached from a main army, lie of sufficient strength,
with written orders from some army : commander,
to do some military thing. Of course, we have re
cognized the Confederate Government as a bellige
rent bower, but. deny their right to our lands, tern=
tortes, rivers, coasts, and • nationality—admitting
the right to rebel and move to some other country,
where laws and customs aro more in accordance
with their own ideas and prejudices.
2d. The civil. power being insutnelent.tosprotect
life and property, ex necessitata ref, to prevent an-
archy, "which nature abhors," the military steps In,'
and is rightful, constitutional, and lawful. Under
this law, everybody can ho made to "stay at home,
and mind his and her own business," and if they
won't do that, can be sent away, where they cannot,
keep their honest neighbors in fear of danger, rob
bery, and insult.
ad. Your military commanders, provost marshals,,
and other agents, may arrest all males and females
who have encouraged or harbored guerillas and
robbers, and you may cause them to be collected in
Louisville. and when you have enough, say three or
four hundred, I will cjuse them to be sent down the
Mississippi, through/heir guerilla gauntlet, and by
a sailing ship send them to a land where they may
take their negroes and Make a colony with laws and
a future of their own, If they won't live in peace
in such a garden as Kentucky, why wo will kindly
send them' to another, if not a better land, and,
surely, this would be a kindness to them, and a
God's blessing to Kentucky. I wish you to be care
ful that no personalities are mixed up in this • nor

South," of their State or county form a COMM of

The Colored Troops.
PHILADtLrIItA, July 11, 18(1.1.
To the Editor The Press:
Bin: The renewing extracts from letters of officers
Of the Colored troops before Petersburg give graphic
accounts of the bravery of these troops in the late
battles before that city:
HICADQUAOTERB 220 U. S. 001:00.ED Tnoors,
IN VIE FIELD, NEAR PETERSAURO, Va,, Juno 27,"04.
The problem is solved. The negro Is a man, a
soldier, a hero. Knowing of your laudable Interest
in the Colored troops, but particularly those raised
under the immediate auspices of the Supervisory
'Committee, I have thought It proper that I should
let you know how they aoquittod themselves in the
late actions in front of Petersburg, of which you
have already received newspaper accounts. if you
remember, in my conversations upon the character
of those tro4s, 1 carefully avoided saying anything
about their lighting qualities till I could have an
opportunity 01 trying them.
That opportunity came on the 11th Inst., and since,
and I am now preared to say that 1 never, since
the beginning of t his war, saw troops fight bettor,
more bravely, and with more determination and
enthusiasm. Our division, commanded by General
Rinks, took the advance on the morning of the 15th
inst., arrived in front of the enemy's works about
o'clock A. M., formed line, charged thorn, and took
them most handsomely. ur regiment was the first
in the enemy's works, having better ground to
charge over than some of the others, and ' the
only gun that was taken on this first line was
to Iceni,,byeur soon ., The color - sergeant of our
regirWt planted his eiders on the works of the
enemy,. a rod in - advance of any officer or
man - in ;the regiment.. The effect of the colors
Loing OMB in &Trance of the line, so as CO be Seen by
all, was truly inspiring to our men, and to a corre
sponding degree dispiriting to the enemy. We
pushed on two and a half milos further, till we
come In full view of the main defences of Peters
burg. Wo formed line at 'about 2 o'clock P. M.,
reconnoitred and skirmished the whole afternoon,
and we were constantly subject to the shells of the
enemy's artillery. At sunset we charged these
strong works and carried them. Major Cook took
one with the left wing of our regiment as skir
mishers, by getting under the guns and then pre-
venting their gunners from using theirpleces, while
ho gained the roar of the redoubt, whore there was
no defence but the infantry, which, classically
speaking, " skedaddled." We charged across what
appeared to be an almost impassable ravine, with
the right wing all the time subject to a hot lire of
grape and canister, until we got so far under the
guns as to be shelt ered, when the enemy took to
their rifle-pits as infantry men. Our bravo fellows
went steadily through the swamp and up the side
of a bill, at an angle of almost fifty degrees, ren
dered nearly impassable by fallen timber. Here
again our color-sergeant was -conspicuous in keep
ing far ahead of the most advanced, hanging on to
the side of the hill, till he would turn about and
wave the stars and, stripes at his advancing
comrades;.then :steadily advancing again, un
der the fire of the. enemy, till he could al
most have reached their rifle.pits with his flag
staff; How ho kept from being killed I do nut
know, unless it Can be attributed to the fact that the
party advancing up the side of the hill always has
the advantage of. those who hold the crest. It was
in this way that we got -such a decided advantage
over the enemy at "South Mountain ." We took,
in these two redoubts, four more guns, making, in
all five for our regiment, two redoubts, and part of
a rifle pit as our ears work. The,sth, Oth, and 7th
U. S. Colored Troops advanced against works more
to the left. The 4th U. S. Colored Troops took one
more redoubt s and the enemy abandoned the other.
In these two we got two more guns,' which made, In
all, seven. The 6th Regiment did not got up in
time, unfortunately, to have much of the sport, as
It had been previously formed in the second line.
We left 43 men wounded and 11 killed In the ravine
over which' our men charged the last time. °unless
In the whole day's operations was 143 , including six
officers, one of whom was killed. Sir, there is no
underrating the good conduct of these fellows du
ring these charges; with but a few exceptions, they
all wont in as old soldiers, but with more enthusi
asm. Ism delighted that our first action resulted
in a decided victory.
The commendations 'we have received from the
Army of the Potomac, including its general officers,
are truly gratifying. _ Hancock's corps arrived just
in time to relieve us (we being out of ammunition)
before the rebels were reinforced and attempted to
retakethese strong works and commanding post-.
tions, withoawhich they could not hold Petersburg
one hour, if it were a part of Grant's plan to , ad
vance against it on the right hero.
General Smith speaks in the highest terms of the
day's work, as you have doubtless seen, and ha as
sured me, in . person, that our division should have
the guns we took as trophies of honor. He is also
making his.word geed in saying that he could here
after trust colored troops in the most responsible
positions. Colonel Ames., of the 6th U.. C. T.,
and our xegiment, have just been relieved in the
front, where we served our tour of forty-eight hours
in turn with the other troops of the corps. While
out, we were subjected to some of the severest
shelling have ever seen, Malvern Hill not ex
cepted. The enemy got twenty guns In posi
tion during,. the. night, and opened on us yes- .
terday morning, at daylight. Our men stood it,
behind their welts of course, as well as any of the
albite troops s Our men, unfortunately, owing, to the
irregular tbatnro of the ground, took no prisoners.
sSir. we can. beyond the enemy to terms on this
matter of treating colored soldiers as prisoners of
war fat sooner than the authorities at Washington
can bring him to it i,y negotiation. TILL ram
morally. persuaded of.. 1 know further that the
enemy . wont 'ffght us If he can help it. lam sure
that - the same number of white troops could not
have tagen tlips,e works on the evening of the 15th;

who game in after the abandonment of the fort,
because they could not get away. They excuse
themselves on the ground of snide ; as one of them
said to me, " D-s--d if men educated as we have been
will fight nigge - s, and your Government ought not
to expect .The real Met is, the rebels will not
staled against our colored-soldiers when there'is any
ehanch . of theilr being taken prisoners, for they are
conselous of what- they justly deserve Our men
went into these works after :they were taken veiling
." FOrt-Pillar 02. The enemy well knows what this
filenes, and f will venture the assertion that' that
piece of Infernal brutality enforced by theta there
has cost the enemy already two mon for every one
they so inhumanly murdered.
[Extract from Another Letter.) -
As I am not writing a strictly formal letter I
shall take the liberty to express the satisfaction that
we all feel that, at last, Congress has acknowledged
the worth. of our troops as so!dterss and are oae
step nearer owning their rights as men. Whether
or not the action of June 15th had anything to do
with the voice of the. House in passing the "Equali
zing Act," I cannot say. And as the ultimate end
is now obtained, it perhaps matters but little. Still
1 could have wished that our lawgivers had meted
out justice for Justice's sake, and not as a matter of
policy and expediency. But that It is passed at all
is a matter Of wonder to some of us, and of congratu
lation to alt. We feel that if our boys fought
so well when' laboring under a feeling of doubt,
almost of despondency, as to the course Go
vernment would pursue with them, we would
not fear for their valor when they are stimulated
by a feeling of hope and public appreciation. You
have doubtlees read and heard much of their con
duct during the engagement of - June 15th; but, as
-a general thing, the newspapers give but a partial
view. To appreciate fully what they did one must
remember that it was not a charge made suddenly
on first finding _the enemy, and while all was en
thusiasm, but - that for five long hours they were
subjected to a heavy cannonade of shot and shell,
all' the time cautiously approaching—walking—
creeping—crawling in the very dust, by regiment,
by company, and almost Man by man. Five hours
were spent in crossing an open. almost level Held a
quarter of e mile in width. But under-all this fire
they remained perfectly bidable, and when the order
to charge came, they were as ready to obey and as
enthusiastic to rush on as any soldiers could be.

EIVOLIBIT TRIBUTE TO ...HAWTIIORNR.—WO may
well feel morn than ordinary sadness in recording
the departure of one so distinct, eo national, and yet
so universal as Hawthorne, from the world of poeti
cal fiction, because it was this journal, if we do not
iniatako, which first drew attention to his genius.
Some time before his "Twice-Told Tales" wero col
lectedly published, In the year 1837, the Atheneum,
without the Slightest clue to their authorship, had
Ingle(' out one or. two of the sketches which ' had
figured in the Amerioan periodicals as something re
markable and precious for their delicacy quaintness,
and color, which could only be attained by a trans
atlantic author—a color, to boot, widely different
from that of Irving's "Knickerbocker" legends—
and still more finely apart from the tint of Brook
den Brown's stories, which, American as they wore,
were modelled after the fashion of Godwin, oven as
Fennimore Cooper's were according to the pattern
of the Scott romances. At first they attracted not
much attention among the many, but sufficient to
make their writer sought for by the managers of
periodicals. 'I Loy wore presently followed by other
miscellanies and books for children, and by four
novels, two of which were "The Scarlet Let
ter" and "The House of the Seven Gables."
'rho publication of those drew the attention
of ',E.urope to Hawthorne, as ono of tho
greateSt and most individual masters of Motion
ltring, and his tales were thenceforth eagerly
sought for, translated, as we know, Into Frenoh,
Gannon, Russian, and probably other foreign
langnages. The terse vigor of their style, com
bined with a quaint and 'dreamy fancy—the hold
with which the stories of ' , The Scarlet Letter"
and "The Ilouso of the Seven Gables" grasp the
reader—the vigorous and delicate markings of
character, as In the erring minister, who tempted
Beeler Prynne • to shame, and the poor, brain.

who Ind a manner of his own—not therefore a
mrinnerismit was Nathaniel Hawthorne. The man
was, in every respect, singular. With a handsome
presence, and no common powers or- pleasing, when
once a way was forced to thorn, (the word is not too
strong), he bid himself from his popularity and its
privileges, with a shyness which might have bun

PERSONAL.
—Mr. Samuel Wlikoson writes an Interesting
letter to the Tribune describing the adjournment of
the House of Representatives, In which we rind this
running comment upon some of its best and most
popular mon : •
In the Representatives Hall the members nook on
to the floor, and the galleries fill with the ourious to
see an adjournment. A little knot surrounds Thad
Stevens, and of course they laugh, for tho rich na
ture of this marvelously-endowed man perpetually
Overflows wit. lie carries his ago more lightly than
any man in the House. Never absent from his du
ties ; never sick ; never behind his work; never un
prepared; never asking a postponement for any
reason personal to himself; familiar with all the
business of the session ; responsible for the ways and
means to carry on the war and maintain the coun
try's credit; ever ready for debate; ready on Call to
attack, to defend constantly going with his tun and
his samaras into Iris adversaries' defences, he is, in
his seventy-third year, a wonderful example of fresh
vitality and youthful life In extreme age.
And there is General Schenck, the head of the
Military Committee, with brows and jaws of bronze
hardness and strength, a reedy and pointed debater,
with the will of a true leader, which the irritation
of an 'old gunshot wound received in battle occa
sionally smarts into impatience or passion—a clear
seeing, straightforward, practical man, who, with
his colleagues Garfield, and others, deserve well of
the country for their unceasing labor and pains
taking to enlarge the armies and -increase their
efficiency. And near him is the vacant seat of
Hasson, of lowa, a natural-born legislator, and
destined to Influence and distinctlqn. Ho super
odds to the power and habit of labor the. talent to
think clearly and continuously on his legs. He is
blessed with exemption from tho vanity to produce
rhetorical effects. He speaks right on., what he
thinks with sustalned.nervous fluency, and with a
voice whose volume and cut reach to and fill all
parts of the hall. Legislation is a business with
him, and ke works hard at it for pernianent
Few men on the floor are listened to with more Plea
sure than this young lowan, and if his district is .
wise it will measure the length of his term of ser
vice In Congress by his term of life.
And there is Henry Winter Davis, a young man,
yet of national fame. His speeeil on the recon
struction of the Union, delivered without notes,
but with an uninterrupted flow of law and reason,
was ono of the most oomplete exhibitions of parlia
mentary oratory of the highest order ever heard In
the House in the last twenty years. When the po
litics of Maryland lose their Dorder-State Isolation
and savagery, and the State's position in the
Union is without fermentation, this man's conse
quence will immediately become, and will remain,
national.
Kelley, of Philadelphia, stands reading 'an open'
letter—slightly noticeable for a disfigurementof the
lid of one of his eyes, received in a machine shop in
which his youth was educated—a man who literally
hammered his way up in life, and who is capable'of
hammering his representative way through life, on
whatsoever paths social tyranny or political' in
jusUce seek to bar mans progress to a pure demo
cracy. Kelley is an orator of rare and marked
qualities. Ile is peculiar in a thoroughly dramatic
intonation of his anger, his pathos, his deltruce, his
irony.—an intonation which Is the purest and most
unconscious nature, while seemingly a studied art.
He enjoys far outside f Pennsylvania, the reputa
tion of being a useful legislator, a lover of art and
of literature, a fiery humanitarian, and an honest
man. It is said that his district is going to honor
itself by re-oletiting him.
—A correspondent from Mexico describes the
new-made Emperor and his generals as follows: .
of Maximilian I do not think very much, from his
face: It does not Show any great quality, and it is
even' heavy. The mouth is bad, the lips being
thick, and the eyes are very middling. Ire may be
a good man, and have the ability so necessary to a
prince about to fill the Mexican throne, but, of a
surety, he does not show it. As to all his acts and
Speeches here, they have been cut out for him and
pre-arranged. Time will show.
Generalliazaine is an able man, like all those who
hold high positions in the French army. To him is
due the success add eclat of Lhe reception. It is said
that he is to be made a marshal for nis good services
in Mexico, and I think there Is good ground for the
report. He seems to be a man of about fifty-six or
so, and has a bold, hardy look. In his full uniform
as a general to-day, he looked very well. I may
notice General Neigro also. He is commandant of
the force In thisplace, and a man after the sort of
Bazaine. I think that as long as two such men re
main near Max. he has little to 'Tear, hut how long
they will be on s uds - soil I would like to learn. As
soon as the force now being organized for the Em
peror comes out, it is thought that the French pro-
per will go away. That body of rascals, la legion
elrangere, is to' stay, and with the new force of
s trangers it will form, I think, an army not at all
to the taste of the Mexicans.
—The Copperhead papers, says the Tribune, re:
cently asserted that William S. Fish, late colonel
of the let Connecticut Cavalry, who was lately con
victed by court martial of numerous crimes, had
been pardoned by the Prtsident ; and they took oc
casion to assail him in terms of unmeasured abuse,
as the friend of jail-birds and the abettor of fraud
and peculation. A most respectable and conscien
tious officer of the Government determined to satisfy
himself as - to . the.facts of the case, and wrote to the
superintendent of the Albany penitentiary, bacuir
logy Fish were still n prisoner. We have been
shown the reply, dated Julyo, in which Amos Pills
bury, the superintendent, says that Fish "Is still
confined here, and is employed at light work in the
Army Shoe department.”
A London correspondent furnishes an Interest
ing piece of personal testimony with regard to the
song-writing factor of the Tirnes,moir in New York
"I. was at the Reform Club a few nights ago and
heard an explanation of his appointment' as Times
correspondent in America. A gentleman of high
literary position informed our party that, in ISM,
Delaney asked Thackeray's opinion as 40 whom he
should send to America to replace Russell, who had
'made money' and wanted to return. He added, also,
that what wasrequired was a man who could follow
instructions, and that the individual in question need
not be familiar with American politics. Well;
then,' said Thackemy, looking up with that 'quiet,
cynical expression familiar to him, the best man I
know of is Mackay ; hd doesn't know much of any
thing. and has never been troubled with principle.
He's the very mimeo do just as you order. And so
Mackay got the appointment."
The name of the surgeon of the Alabama, who
went down with his ship while in the performance
of his duty, was David Herbert Llewellyn. He
was the son of the curate of Button -Royal, Wilts,
England. How poor Llewellyn did his duty may
be judged, says the London Lancet, by the following
touching episode of the battle :
"The whaleboat and dingy, the only two boats
uninjured, wore lowered, and the wounded men
placed in them, Mr. Fulham being sent in charge
of them to the ..Kearsarge. When the boats were
full, a man who was unwounded endeavored to
enter one, but was held back by the surgeon of the
ship, Mr. Llewellyn. See,' said he, I want to
save my life as much as you do, but let the wounded
men be saved first.' Doctor,' said the officer iu the
boat, 'We can makeroom for you.' I will not peril
the wounded men,' was his reply. He remained be
hind; and sank with the ship—a loss muck deplored
of by all the cers and men."
A correspondent of the San Francisco Golden
Era speaks thus of Gen. Grant :
"He at one time was one of us. He came to Cali
fornia in early days, in 40, I think, as an officer in
the regular army. Shortly after arriving hero he
resigned his commission and engaged in the busi
ness of teaming, handling boxes and barrels, as well
as horses, with the best of us. He was Unfortunate,
very, for a while ; sold out his business, and then—
did not do so well. Went, up, the - country—to
Knight's Ferry, I believe—did worse, and then—
went home disgusted. This you may believe, every
word of it. - I enclose reference. I think it , &bout
time California should claim him."
A novel called " Whither VI has been published
in London, in which the characters, are all living
personages, and include Lord Palmerston, Tenny
son, Florence Nightingale, and Mr. Delano, of the
London Times, Earl Russell, Mr. Spurgeon, and
Mr. Cobden also figure in the work, which, as, a
literary production, is mere trash.
' Brigadier General De Tousbriand has been re

The stock market suffered under the intelligence
of the further advance of the rebel invaders. Bu
siness was almost at a stand, and there was scarcely
anything else talked of on. the street or in the store
than the invasion. There was no panto or fiurryge
nerally speaking among the brokers or their custo
mers, and there was moro confidence expres.sed as to
the immediate future than one might imagine
would be found in such sensitive quarters. Gold
was quoted, at 9;,1 o'clock, at 260 ; it was merely a
quotation, and could not stand the test of bona fide
purchase and sale. Accordingly, at 11 o'clock, only
252 was asked ; at noon, 283; IP. M., 232 3P. M.,
238, and 4 P. M., 278. The sales at these figures
were very limited, and they were effected only
through necessity. The market for stocks was
generally lower. It was a singular circumstance
that in the depression which was the order of the
day as respects all other stocks, the loans of the
Government were not only firmly held, but com
manded advanced figures. The seven-thirties sold
up to 106.--a rise of 1, and the five-twenties at 10.1u—
a rise of Reading shares closed at a decline of
2 on Saturday's figures ; Minehill Railroad and
Philadelphia and Erie were also lower. - Pennsyl:
verde. Railroad, which sold at one time at 72, closed
at 7134 bid. There was no quotation for Northern
Central Railroad. Those roads unaffected.by the
raid showed an Inclination towards an advance.
Norristown and Worth Pennsylvania Railroad were
both higher. State and city securities were un
changed. Allegheny county coupon Os were lower;
Schuylkill Navigation also fell 1. The only change
in canal stocks was an advance 0f134 in Wyoming
Valley. Bank stocks were quiet. A sale of the
Bank of North America was reported at 155. Oils
were rather more active; Maple Shade advanced
to 11.

Steamer Maarten, Capt. Virden, returned to this
port yesterday afternoon, and makes the following
report : The A. pert Philadelphia with the bark
Greenland in tow, which was bound to Pensacola,
with 000 tons coal, Government account, and was
to be towed to her intended destination. On the 9td
inst., at 12.30 P. DI. lot. 30 54, ion. 7152, saw alsteatn.
ship bearing E. by S. and steering ab6ut W. 5.15.,
right for us, and making a great deal of black
smoke, apparently from bituminous coal with alt
sail set. .At 1.30 P. M. she took in all sail ; had a
great many men on board, which induced me to
think the was no friendly vessel, and I therefore let,
go the bark, and bore away from her with a heavy
pressure of steam. I thought she was the pirate
Florida, and she turned out to be that notorious
craft. She pursued me with all her speed, and when
she perceived that rho could not overtake me, she
made directly for the bark, which she boarded,' set
fire to, and burned ; after which I proceeded to Fort.
