Doting the early portion of the summer of 1814| Coekhurn’e fleet lay along the coast of Virginia, Marylan'4 and the Chesapeake, when they Wore joined, on the third of August, by Cochrane’s fleet direct from'Bermuda, both Numbering twenty sail. Our government was apprised of hostile. intentions upon the Capital, but General Armstrong, then Secretary of War professed disbelief in the rumors, an,d the Na tional Intelegincer doubted the probability of histile intentions upon the capital. 1 Urtsident Madison, however, hsd,taken some pi eeniutiqnary steps, by ordering a military or gi nidation, which he deemed sufficient for the, occasion, in addition to a flotilla of barges, hear ing gsing, placed under the command of. Capt. Joshua Barney, and intended to check fleets in advancing towards the Capital. But after sail ing ujj the’ banks of the Patuxent river, on the 20th df August. On the following day the army ' consisting of four thousand men, took up their march toward the infant city. They were without artillery of cavalry, and marched under this hi at of ,a mid summer sun to Bladetjsbnrg, wjiict they reached on the 24th. By adopting this note, the flotilla afforded no protection to thjj ci ‘y, andi.tp prevent the guns or boats from being taken and used against the Capital, they were down up on the morning of the,22d, by order of Wm. Jones, the Secretary of the Navy. Rilhei \ Ross and Admiral Cockbuqn, tpts watch ed! by president Madison in person, who dire_c teejl ei ;bt thousand inexperienced and unjispi plinec militia to Bladensbnrg, under the com- ’ mafid of Gen. Winder, to oppose the four thou sand British soldiers. Capt Barney, ; having destrCyed flotilla, joined the military force of Gen. Winder,,with gpe,hundrcd seamen and field pieces; On the afternoon of -the 24th, the Brfltis i opened fire, which was soccesfujly re turned by Barney’s sailors, who maintained their lositirm nobly, while the raw recruits, un der W inder, kept at'a respectful .distance, ren derjnj; little or no service with their rquskets,, and si on broke ranks and turned theii backs upon heir enemy. Barney’s seamen fought brave' y, - and their gnns proved terribly destruc tivptc the enemy. . ‘ He was overpowered, however after three hours hard fighting, flanked by superior num bers, ind finally fell wounded by the side of eleven of his men who were killed at their guns. Ilej ordered the retreat and gave himself up. His bravery contrasted nob'y with the disgrace ful cowardice of the tnilita. ( A large portion of tJrejmen were from Baltimore; and, if their sonk ojf to-dny possess no more of the element essential to successful warfare, they ?vill do well t« make peace with the Northern lads who propose to march through their city on their way ,t| the capital.) The, militia without wait ing! {ok their commander to sound, a retreat took sodden leave of the,battle field and made a direct line for the woods. i’helßritiah experienced a’severe loss in their ranks] stated by the historian Greig of the 85th royal regiment, as high ps five hundred killed, wounded and &igsing. Colonel THofnton, com ander lof the light brigade,-lieutenant fcolonel Wood jeommander of the 85th regiment; and Majprjßrown, who led on the advance trohps. wpre severely wounded; while General Ross had a horse killed under him. The loss was smajl on thefpart of Barney’s men ; and the English author) refered to above admits that if tho mili tia-haddone their duty the victory would un doubtedly have been on the American side.— Of Bainey’s hundred sailor’s he speaks in the highest terms, remarking that " not only did they serve their guns with a quickness and pre cision] which astonished their asailanti, but stood till seme’of them wero . actnally bayonet ted with fuses in their hands; rior was it till their wounded and token, and they saw themselves deserted on all sides Ky the ibldiei|, that they quitted the field. " j General Ross led the. Sd British brigade into the city, and up to the Capitol, oh approaching whihh ifiis horse was shot from, under him by one of Putney’s men) who had concealed him lit a hduse for that object. The ftioas'e was iiq mediately entered the in mates put to the sword, and thp boildihg arid contents burned. A vol ley was fired into the, windows of the Capitol, . wheii |he troops entered’ Copkburh took .the Speaker’s chair and asked the question ; “ Shall line bqrbor of Yankee Democracy be burned? All fed it say. aye." He resolved the ques tion, pronounced the motion carried, and ordered the torish to be put in the building. It woe soon iif fiotofes; - As i pfudenjal step, the. Secretary of the Navy firdered Commodore .Tingey to fire the navy yhrd, whiob,'with the »loop of war Argus, (ten guns,) five .arihed bargee, two gun-boater and a« the naval stores, was consigned to. the flamesi Theßritisb troops ,then proceeded to the Trlasnry and President’s mansion, both of i : which they fired—tbeUresident having retreat ed., witfi his cabinet, on horseback, across, the Potomac*. That night the Army encamped,on Capitol Hill, end-were exposed to a severe sttirm, with heavy thunder, which ;added,inten sify of awe toihe dismal scenes which had just ‘bwn .enacted. During the night a grand nephew of Gen. Washington rasblyiattacked the ■ sentries, and was shot down. The long bridge was simultaneously fired, at.each end, by the opposing parties each apprehensive of aiKattaqk by tha.othijr. i Next morning the British burned the build ings connected with the Navy and .the war de partments ; destroyed the “ material,” in the National Intelligencer office, and threw type ouS, of the window ; destroying the remaining hdiidings about the navy yard, and at Green leaf s point; throw a torch into a well where a large quality of powder was concealed, which exploded, killing nearly one hundred of the ’British troops, scattering their mutilated re mains in every' direction. A frightful tornado imjmediately, swept over the city, destroying holdings and property as if in completion of thi general work of destruction. Yery many of the enemy and of the inhabitants were buried in she ruins of buildings blown down. The eneiqy alarmed for their own safety, withdrew from the city in the evening; and hurrried to ward the place of embarkation. FLAX ys. COTTON. the cotton States have founded all their po litical and Commercial operations upon one idea, that cotton is king, and that it rules the world. In particular have they imagined lhat France and Great Britain could not do without it, land that this necessity would compel them, sooner or later, to reoognise.the Southern, Con federacy. They have hooted at the idea of any hostile in the production of this article elsewhere in sufficient quantity and of adequate quality to supersede their own. Rut welimagine they are about to be. undeceived, nml that, too, in a most unexpected men nei. We haye seen at the Chamber of Gommerse e most beautiful specimens of flax cotton we i: e ever examined, wjii.ch is actually the pro ii tpf Northwestern States, and where it grows loundiess extent, indigenous, cheap, and to i-md almpst for tfijS taking. We have seen it he rough, we have scen it,.after.t)ie.fitst pro s i, one of a few minutes’ time ; after the sec k , when it was carded j. in the third, after it a i-spun'; and in the fourth, when it. assumed e form of cloth of the most beautiful texture, 1 0 eh into tire fabrics now usually maqufac rid of the Southern cotton'; After the third o cess, itcannot bedistinguished in-ita.appear u e from the finest cotton. ..... S has long-been suspected that there were jr vegetable fibres which might be r made as table as those of the cotton plant, and many in use'in various parts of the world—such he vegetable silk or attire depaina of South erica, resembling cotton wool, but not hav roughness enough in the fibers to permit its ig woven ; the pulu or vegetable silk of lyeo ; the sunnee of India, or brown hemp; jetee from Madras ; the borassus fibre from palm tree countriesthe jute from Bengal, a rival of flax and hemp,.hut limited in its beii Ow the the now use because it will not stand being .wot; vari ous kinds of hemp and flax fibres—those of Ma alia, the aloe, coir, pine-apple, China grass, Patja grass', bast. &o. A 11 these have their uses and their value, hot the woolly covering of the seeds of the gossyp iuni, or cotton plant, has supplied them ajl in quantity, quality, and general adaptability to the wants and comforts of the human race. one of the fibers of the other vegetable sub cea above mentioned, with the:exception of have ever been turned so easily and elieap- still flax ;) use. This, which the botanists call linum missimum, has been the chief competitor of ton; but its preparation and manufacture effected by a process so tedious and operose i very great efforts have been made to shor and simplify it. I s long ago as 1828, a patent was granted by if Parliament to a Mr. Lee-for a method of i rating the fibre in two or three hours. In i-’53, a Mr. Schenck invented a method for paring,.the fibre in sixty hours, jand the ivalier Claussen,, introduced still later, a prb • by which the fibre, soaked in a solution of sarbonate of soda, and afterwards dipped i weak acid solution, came ont broken np ) its minutest divisions; and in the* form of : cotton, and when manufactured, proved to II a stronger and fine texture than the best ; in. For some reason unknown, the discov was not proceeded With; cotton Mill re i led king; but we believe its downfall is at usit cott are thal ten flax hav bain 0 i our great Western prairies, and in a large part of Western Canada, there is a species of wile flax, unknown to botanists formerly, which is it digenous’,, perennisl, herbaceous, nndinex haui time in quantity.

In less than six minutes the contents are blown out, or ex plod jd, aid tfie fiat comes forth with the fibre divided up, and the husk or covering shattered intojinfinitesimal parts.

Evening Post. ■ Seizure of Telegraphi- Despatches—Traitors Jo be Unmasked. • The ‘United States government has seized all the telegrams received at all the considerable telegraph offices in the free states during the last year. The seizure was made at the same moment throughout the entire North. • It is known that originals of all telegrams are filed away at the various telegraph offices, and kept for at least on'o year, and in many case? longer. For instance, some of, the offices in this city had the accumulated despatches-of three years. The seizure in this city was made by the United States Marshal. So profoundly secret had thii determination of the government been kept, that no hint or whisper of it had escaped until, in accordance with orders, the United States Marshals and their officers entered every telegraph office in the jfortb vtiiich wruPdcetned to be of sufficient importance; and made the seizures, as stated. The object in’m.aking all the: seizures' at the samp time is .apparent. It prevents the des truction of telegrams which might occur under other circumstances. In this city the telegrams taken by the gov ernment number many thousands. They afe in charge of officers designated by the govern ment ; and will be read over carefully by these officers, in the presence of a man designated by the Telegraph Company. OP course', tl yery large portion of these des patches are of a strictly private character, and of no service or interest to the public, and all ?uch will be immediately returned. It is equally certain that a large portion of the despatches ore of great interest to tfie pub lic, and that they will be of incalculable vnlue and service to- the government. In fact, it is quite impossible to imagine the importance of the information which will be derived from this source. In these telegrams the government hgs many of the secret plans' and movements of the rebels bp to the present time, aa xyell ns the. names of,the traitors- in New York and otbC 1 cities, w)jo have been giving information to the enemy, It has been regarded ns certain that Jeff. Da rk has had an army of spies and informers in this tfity, some of Whom were sent on from the South, and some of whom are citizens.;, fhf-se telegrams trill establish the truth of this belief beyond u doubt, and trill also fipnish the gov ernment Kith the names of many of these spies and informers; and if such regard their per sonal safety they bad better leave for thfe terri tory of the rebels immediately, for there can be no doubt that the United States _ authorities have now a clue to their whiclL will render it unsafe'for them to remain. Nor are the spies and informers the only ones tvhose treason will be laid bare by, these despatches. Those who have been supplying the South with arms and munitions of war will now- be jinown, and if the government does not obtain evidenoo to convict such men of treason, it will at least bo able to mark and watch them with a vigilant eye, and prevent them doing Cufuro mischief, t , , One tiling is certain. Every traitor who has corresponded with the rebels by telegraph daring the last twelve months is now known by name to the government, * , . The financial and diplomatic hopes and plans of the rebels—their negotiations for arms and ammunition—the treachery of army and navy officers, and other movements of the greatest importance, are by this field stroke placed within the knowledge of the federal authori ties. . There cab be no doubt but one result will follow immediately. Hundreds of secret trai tors who are now in this city and other cities of the North, will deem it safe to leave imme diately, and we shall probably see po more of them in these parts. They .will forthwith place themselves under the projection’of the Montgomery government. —Kew York Evening Post. A War I.vcident. —While one of the Mas: a chusetts regiments was in this city s omUs way to Washington, a gentleman residing here, met one.of itsimembera on the street. “Is there anything I ,can do for yon (l sir ?’’ said the New Yorker, his heart warming to ward the representative of the brave Massa chusetts militia, who had so promptly answered to tbe call of their country. * The soldier hesitated a momeptj r.nd finally raising one of his feet exhibited m fioot whh a hole in. the toe, and generally the worse for wearing,, , , ,;, ,; ■ "How came yoq Here with snch -a boot as that, my friend?’’ asked the fiatriotio citizen. “Whet the order came for me to jnin .rny company,, sir," replied’ the soldier, “I was ploughing the same field at Concord ■. where my grandfather was' ploughing when the British fired oqtho.Massaoh.asetts, men at Lexington.
