About midnight Col. Duryea's Zouaves and
Col. Townsend's Albany Regiment crossed .
the river near Hampton, by means of six large '
batteanx, manned by the Naval Brigade, and
took np the line of march,tho former some two I
miles in advance of the latter At tho same
time Co!. Bendex' Regiment and detachments
of tho Vermont an 1 Massachusetts Regulars
at Newport moved forward to form a juuction
with the Regulars from Fortress Monroe at
Little Bethel, between Hampton and Great 1
Bethel. The Zouaves passed Little Bethel
about -1 a. m. Col. Besdix' Regiment arrived
next, and took a position at the intersection of
the roads. Not understanding the signal the
German Regiment, in the darkness cf the
morning, fired upon Col. Townsend's column,
marching in close order, and led by Lieut.
Butler's son, and aid of Gen. Butler, with two i
pieces of artillery.
Other accounts say that Townsend's Reg
iment tired first. The fire of tho Albany Regi
ment was harmless, while thai of the German's
was fatal, killing oa3 man and wounding seri- j
O'usly two ethers, with sevaral other slight
casualitin*. Tho Albany Regiment being back
of the Germans, discovered from the accoutre
ments left or the field that tb" supposed enemy
was a friend. The'y had, in the meantime,fired
nine rounds with smali arms and a fi Id piece. !
The Zouaves, hearing tiio firing, turned,and 1
also fired upon the ny boys, killing Ser- j
geant Carv of Company A. Lieut. Stono, cf
tho same Regiment, a Sergeant and cino pri
vales, were wounded some seriously. The fire
was returned, aid the Ith fired ona charge o!

WASHINGTON, Friday, Juns 11,1SC1.
The Govenmeni has received dispatches ,
which state that Harper's Ferry has been com
pletely evacuated, and the troops stationed at
that point are on tha march to Manassas
J unction.
Some apprehend ft speedy attack upon our
lines here fret a the combined force, but others
relying upon the well authenticated reports
touching tho bad condition of the Harper's
Ferry rebels lelieve that they will disperse in
the course of the march from Winchester to
Strasburg.or that at all events they will arrive
at Mauassas iu no condition to commence ac
tive operations. The last is probably the true
Btut# of the ease.
The retrer t from Harper's Ferry transfers
the immediate center of operations to Manassas
Junction. Whether the Rebels will make a
desperate assault upon cur lines here, as some
still seem to believe, or will strengthen their
position and await attack at the Junction ;
whether out columns will at once advauce from
the West and North, untH the Rebels are out
flanked and forced to retreat or fight at a dis
advantge, or will wait awhile to enable Beau
regard'a force to become demoralized, us those
ct the Ferry have been,are questions on which
aen may J ffer. But considering the scarcity
of fsod and the general disaffection, we cannot
but thiuk that the Rebels will soon feel obliged
to bring on an action or retreat. We shall
not be like y to move until thoroughly ready.
The reported evacuation of Harper's Ferry
is not, however, altogether credited by military
men. They have no doubt tuat a large por
tion of tin forces there have been withdrawn,
bnt think that a considerable garrison still
holds the place. Tho Government has dis
patches which say that there is still seme
doubt of the fact, to-day.
Fkei:rick, Mil., Friday, June 11, ISC 1.
It is here reported upou the authority of a
messenger who arrived Lcra this moruing from
within one mile of Harper's Feriy, that the
bridge across the Potomac at that point was
blown up and entirely destroyed between 4
and 5 o'clock this morning. The explosion
was distinctly heard, and the smoke of the
burning structure seen by parties here.
The messenger further reports that all the
troops have beeu withdrawn from the Mary
laud shore, and that the town of Harper's
Ferry has been evacuated by the great body
of the tro?ps recently there. A small force is
yet there, probablj the rear guard of the re
treatieg army.
It is reported that eight car loads of pro
visions were destroyed to prevent their faliing
into the bauds of the Notional army, who are
supposed to be concentrating upon Harper's
Ferry from the directions of Grcencastlo and
Cumberland.
The wife and family of Gen. linger were
at the Ferry last night, aud Lad engaged a
private cdhveyance to take them to a point
further southward, but were compelled to ac
company the column by its sudden Oight.
The destruction of th€ bridge may be re
garded as certain. Confirmatory intediigence
of the fact has beeu received here wilhiu a few
minutes. A gentleman of this city, who was
at Harper's Ferry last Digbt, saw the prepara
tion being made ft f the blowing wpof the stro*-
ur.
The bridge at Shepparditown waeatoo burnt
last night.
A resident of this city, who has just relent
ed from Harper's Ferry, states that the bridge
has been entirely destroyed with die exception
oftho piers, which ere left standing. The
trestle work of the railroad, within the town,
was also destroyed. The Government build
ings were being severally burnt when he left
there at 1 o'clock this morning. The armory
was first fired and destroyed The rifle works
it is (apposed, will follow next. All the ma
chinery had been transported to the interior
several days ago. lie estimates that there
are 4,000 troops yet in the town. The main
body, it is said,has been pushed on to Charles
town, and to a point near Lcesburg.

Escaped Virginians report that the Confed
erate troops ieft Harper's Ferry today, one
part retreating to Winchester and another into
1 London County. This would seem to indicate
{that a retreat to Manassas Juuction is intend
' ed.
The railroad bridge at the Ferry was blovrn
up one hour after sunrise this morning. The
t emaiuing Government buildings were all bura
d.
The Railroad bridge at Martinsburg was
burned to-day; also the bridge at Shepards
town.
A dark smoke is seen ascending from the
buruing buildings at the Ferry.
WiLLiAMSPORT, Friday. June 14, 1861.
The Shepardstown bridge was burned last
night by the Rebls,the smoke and flames being
distinctly seen here.
The Confederate pickets havo been with
drawn from all points 20 miles above, aud 10
miles below here.
A rumor reached here this morning that
the enemy are throwing up earthwords at
Shepard's Ford, between Dam No. 4 and
Shepardstowu bridge.
A gentleman arrived here this morning who
visited Stewart's Camp at liaidesviile, four
miles tuis side of Martinsburg. Last Even
ing the camp was broken up, aud the troops
moved to Martinsburg.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, June 12,1861.
Tho one topic of conversation is the disaster
at Great Bethel. The details give a gratify
ing diminution of the number cf killed and
wounded, but that docs not atone for the fail
ere cf the expedition. The blame fully rests
upon Gen. I'iekcb, who, it is established, be
came confused, and unable to comprehend the
situation, and to give tiie necessary order.— !
Either Col. Dckyek or Col. Town'seno, it is !
commonly remarked, would have produced a
different result hud they been intrusted with
the command. *
DUPuTCHES FP.OII GEN. SUTLER.
Lieut. J. H. BcTt.F.it, nephew of Gen. BIT ;
LEit, has arrived here with dispatches to Gen.
SCOTT. He states that the rolls were calied be
fore he left Fort Monroe, on yesterday at 6
o'clock, and tlurc were but fourteen men kill-j
ed and forty-live wounded upon our side in
all. Two were killed in the unfortunate meet- !
ing of the three different Federal detachments :
who before daylight came in conflict, loislak- ,
ing each other for enemies. Twelve were after-1
wards killed during tho tight, before tU6 bat
teries.
There were three batteries opened on our
troops from the light, left, arid centre of the
road to Yorktowu. Iu a!!, there were about
thirty cannon served, many of them being rifle
pieces. Our forces had only a light battery of
three field-pieces G pounders, at first—and a
fourth, which came up during the conflict.
The fight at the batteries commenced at 11
o'clock in the forenoon of Monday, and lasted
incessantly till about 2 o'clock. The New
Yoik Zouaves, Col. HAWKINS, tell aside from
the road and got iu range across one of the
batteries, doing good execution for over half
an hour, but they got out of ammunition, and
were ordered to fall back with the retreat.
On the water side it was impossible to ap
proach the battery. After tiie Gr.st volleys
were fired upon the central battery.the column
opened right and left, and entered the woods,
with a view to turning the flank of the enemy,
while the field pieces served by tie Massachu
setts boys held their position in the centre for
a time. Tiie odds were too great, however,
and tiie retreat was finally made good, only
oue of the field pieces being saved.
The loss of the enemy must be very heavy,
Lieut. BUTI.ER, who was present during tire
conflict, thinds that at least two hundred reb
els must have been killed and wounded.
Mtijor WiNTHitop, of Massachusetts, Aid to
Gen. licTi.KS, is missing. He left his horse I
with a servant, at the roadside, and entered
the waods to reconnoitre. lie has not return- 1
ed and it is feared he is killed, or has been i
taken prisoner.
Hut four prisoners were taken by the Fed j
era! forces.
Orders were given by Gen. BCTLER, at the
outset, that the different detachments should
distinguish themselves by wearing a white j
badge on the aim. This was done, and it is !
inexplicable that Col. BBNEIX, of the New- ]
York German Regiment, should have fired on
his cwu friends, when became insight of them
inasmuch as they might have beett kuowu by
tbeir badges.
The conduct of Brigader-Gen. PIERCE is
again sevareiy commented on. He retired to
the rear, confused and unable to give any
orders that his men could comprehend, lie
cried, '* Boston, charge !'' but none could hear
him, at any distance, and one man cried out,
"Charge bo d—d 1 How are you going to
charge that infernal fire." The beys stood their
ground as long as it was of any use.
C'apt. SMITH, of Col. TOWNSEND'S Albany
Regiuicnt, was wounded through the arm
lie bound it up, and bravely contiuued iu the
fight up to the last moment.
Col. TOWN SEND himself behaved with great
cooluess and gallantry throughout the con
flict.
Gen. BUTLER feels deeply the loss of the
gallant Lieut, GP.F.BLE, whom lie esteemed as
a most accomplished young officer.
FROM ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, Thursday, June 13,1861.
War has begun! The unavoidable conflict,
always predicted by me,has at last broken out
and if our brave Missouri Volunteers are not
the first to gather trophies in this straggle for
the Government of our fathers, I shall be very
much mistaken.
As I advised you in my last, Gov. JACKSON
and Gen. PRICE left this city Thursday evening
on a special train, iu a state of nervous excite
ment and fear, impossible to describe. With
a lull kuowledge_ot their gnilt, their cowardly
souls trembled at the possibility that Geu.
Lvov might schd an extra traiu after them
wi'b a warrant for their arrest, at thir arrival
in Jefferson City, to be served upon their pre
cious bodies, by a United States Marshall, ac
companied by a sufficient posse to overcome
any resistance that might be offered. Scarcely,
therefore, had they stepped from the cars at
the latter pluce, when Gov. JACKSON immedi
ately ordered a company of men to start back
on a special train and burn the Gasconade and
Osage ltailroad bridges, in order to delay
the arrival of the United States troods, his
excited imagination conceived to be in hot
pursuit of himself and his cherished Alajor-
General. At (he same time he ordered tele
graph wires to be cut down, thus stopping all
communication between St. Louis and the
Capital. The news of these outrageous pro
ceeding", created an intense excitement in our
city. When the Osage bridge was burnt down
by order of the Legislature, immediately after
the taking of Camp Jackson, the people were
inclined to overlook the unnecessary extrava
gance of this act. in consideration of the real
danger threatening the Legislature; but this
present outrage has aroused tlio indignation
of all citizens. Even the hottest Secessionists
are forced to confess that JACKSON and PRICE
behaved like miserable cowards. The act is
still more unpardonable, since Gov. JACKSON
promised .Mr. TAYLOR, the President of the
Pacific Railroad, befure leaving this city, that
he would neither burn ttie bridges nor damage
the road in any way whatever.
Having thus quiettd his fears, the Gover
nor at once proceeded to issue a proclamation
for fifty thousand State Militia, to drive back
the iuvadets of " military despotism at Wash- !
ington," and protect the "homes and firesides j
of the citizens of Missouri." The proclama
tion reached our city this morning, and caused
a general feeling of surprise aud indignation. I
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT TIIE
FERRY
POINT OF P.oc&G .Saturday, Juue 15.
Your reporter landed on the Virginia side
at Harper's Ferry at 2 P. M., and the iir.st
Union man who crossed there. I found the
town nearly desolate. Not a solitary soldier
was visible, and only r few of the poorer
classes were to he seen cn the streets. The
best houses were all- closed. John Brown's
engine house and magazine and the urmory
buildings were only partially burned.
Three cars loaded with grain and coffee, for
V* inebester, for lack of engines to haul them,
were emptied into the river on Friday, and a
lot of cotton also. The cars were marked
Milier Riiles, Winchester. Five trucks load
ed witii machinery ami pipes, stand in front
of the hotel, marked Richmond Arinorv.—
Fifty Hint-lock muskets were thrown into the
river, and a number of boys were busily en
gaged fishing them out.
At the camp grounds, in the rear of the
town, nothing was icit of any value The
town and surrounding country present the moat
desolate appearance ever seen.
A physician who was tending the troops
.-ays that, about fifty of the Mississippi and
Alabama men were down with the measles,
and will piobabiy lose their hearing. They
were ordered to leave there twenty-four hours
before they did, and one of Gen. Johnson's
staff said that the Federal troops were going
to take Winchester and fortify it, to cut them
off. They would now go there, and be rein
forced from Richmond. Near the buildings
that were burnt in April a quantity of mus
ket-barrels were gathered in piles.
The accounts of the numb -rs in the camp
vary from fifteen to twenty-two thousand.—
All were uniformed according to the fancy and
means of the town they came from. No side
arms were allowed in the camp, except in the
case of commissioned officers. The Kentucky
and Mississippi troops said they came there to
tight, and were eager to go up and take
Washington on their own account. I secured
a lot of bayonets and pieces of muskets as
oiemeutots, and left at 5 o'clock.
The inhabitants were rejoicing greatly over
the evacuation. A piece of a Virginia flag,
placed tnere in April, still remains on the top
of a pole, as the rope is broken by which i;
would be huu d down. No other hug of any
kind is in the town. •
A Caiit. Young came down on the traini
that left the 11 lay House ai 9 o'clock, with a
sword and two trunks, which, judging from
their weight, were, no doubt, liiied with percu
sion caps. He said at the Ferry that ho was
going to Richmond. He had command of n
company of Baltimore men, in the service of,
the Confederacy.
At Point of Hocks, sixty-four cavalry are
still reported to be across tiie Potomac. The 1
rear of the main body of troops was only ten j
miles, from tho Ferry at noon.
THE DYING WORDS OF SENATOR DorGi,*s. J
For a long time previous to Ids death, Sena- (
tor Douglas had been in a semi-conscious con
dition. During the morning of his death his
mind and energies rallied somewhat. Lying
at apparent ease upon his bed, but with the
mark of death upon his pale countenance, I
Mrs. Douglas, who sat soothing him gently,
by his bedside, painfully aware that the mo
ment of final separation was approaching, ask- j
ed him what message lie wished to send to his j
sons, Robert and Stephen, who are now stu- i
dents at Georgetown, lie answered not at
first, and she tenderly repeated the question.
" Tell them," he then replied, with a full voice,
and an emphatic tone, " Tell them, to obey the ,
laws and support the Constitution of the United
States''
A short time after he desired to be raised, :
and his wish was complied with, so that he 1
might look out from his window once more up- '
on that city which he had loved, and had lion- j
ored him so long. One of his friends express
ed a douht as to the case of his position, when ;
lie simply replied, "he is—comfortable." In
his dying moments he faintly articulated
I " Death, death, death," and his great soui
l passed away.— Chicago Journal.
A PATRKTIC FAMILY. —Among the many in
: cidents connected with the present military
movements we have heard of none more re
markable than the following : One of thecom

They were born in Durkhoim, in Germany.—
The family numbers in ail nineteen children,

Thursday Morning, June 20, 1861.
THE NEWS.
There are various opinions as to the inten
tions of the rebel commander, Beauregard;
most incline to the belief that he will be forc
ed to make an advance or retreat from Man
tissa? Junction soon. Rumors prevail ii Wash
ington to the effect that he was actually
marching on the Capital, and four regiments
were ordered over the river.
We have sad news from St. John's, to the
effect that the Canadian, one of the Montreal
Company's steamer", is lost, with 20 or 30 of
her passengers. She left Quebec *n the Ist
inst., encountered a field of sunken icc on the
4th, eight miles south of Belle Isle, and run
ning upon it, went down in half an hour; IS I
of the passengers and crew were saved. Among
those lost were six cabin passengers, the sec
ond officer of the ship, and the mail officer.
The ship's papers were lost, and it could not
with accuracy be known who aud how many
were drowned.
It appears that Harper's Ferry has been
evacuated by the Rebels. Early on Friday
morning the bridge across the Potomac at that
point was blown tip and burned. The troops
withdrew from the Maryland High s and the
Ferry, leaving at the latter place only a small
rearguard, and these have already left. The
Rebels, it is understood, have gone toward
Manassas Junction, though such was their con
dition of mind and body that it was probable
many of them wouid disperse on the march, or
at least reach their destination in a useless
condition. The bridge at Shepardstown and
several car-loads of provisions were also de
stroyed. All the bridges on the Alexandria,
Loudon, and Hampshire Railroad, between
Leestmrg and Broad Run, a stream between
that place and Alexandria, are reported to
have been burned. Oa Thursday evening a
messenger in hot haste appeared at the Rebel
post opposite Wiiliamsport, and immediately
the pickets were called in, and ail the troops
rapidly lied.
It is said that Mr. Burlingame will be sent
as .Minister to China, and Mr. Winter Davis
probably to Austria.
A train was inn on Sunday on the Alexan
dria, Loudon and Hampshire Railroad. When
near Alexandria, it was fired upon by a con
cealed Rebel, and a Connecticut soluier was
killed. The assassin was secured.
A slight skirmish occurred on the 16th at
Seneca Mills, a point on the Maryland side of
the Potomac, above Washington, 200 of the
District volunteers, under Lieut.-Col. Everett,
were attacked by a company of Virginia cav
alry. Shots were exchanged for some time.
No one of our men was hurt, but thecomman
der of the cavalry, supposed to be a Captain
Shreves, was killed, and the rebels retreated.
From Fortress Monroe vi e learn that prcpa
rations are making for an advauce on Rich-
mood- but no particulars arc communicated
There npjteur.s to be no doubt that the threat
body of the fourteen thousand reb"! troops,
which recently occupied Harper's Ferry, has
proceeded to reinforce Gens. Beauregard and
L"e at Manassas Junction; but it is stated on
the authority of a person who was at the Fer
ry on Saturday night, that a portion of them
was expected to proceed to Rotnney, to join
the command of llenry A. Wise, the crazy
Ex Governor of Virginia, who is reported on
iiis march from Staunton with three thousand
men, to oppose the progress of Gen. MeClel
land's forces. How much he expects to ac
complish with three thousand men does rot clear
iy appear; but,of course, according to Virginia
reckoning, they will be a match for fifteen
thousand Yankees. The rebels, on their re
treat from the Ferry, threw a large quantity
of muskets, said to number a thousand, into
the river, together with some of their accou
trements, all of which have since been recov
ered.
The probability of a collision between the
State and Federal troops in Missouri is hourly
increasing. In fact, it is reported that a skir
mish has already taken place near Indepen
dence, in which the Federal troops were
worsted. The report, however, cannot be re
lied upon, as the lines of telegraph in that re-
gion are entirely in the hands of the Secession
ists. All the counties on hoth sides of the
Missouri River, from the Kansas border to
Booneville, are reported to be under their
sway, and at the latter place they are intrench
ing themselves. Meanwhile, troops are being
assembled on the Missouri border, ready to
be marched within her coufines whenever their
services may be required, which will probably
be very soon. Eight Illinois regiments are to
be stationed within two hours' march of St
Louis, four at Belleville, and four at Casey
villc.
The People of Pennsylvania have ta
ken, at par, the three million loan, authorized
by the late Legislature for arming the State
and sustaining the General Government. No
fact could be more houerable to the patriotism
aud liberality of our fellow citizens. Now
that Ihe people have so abundantly furnished
the Government with means, no time must be
lost in applying those means to the accom
plishment of the purpose contemplated by the
Legislature. Let the work of arming the
State be prosecuted with promptness and
energy.
THE UNITED STATES SENATE. —There will
probably be twenty-two vacaocies in the
United States Senate during the extra session
of Congress The eleven seceded States will
be entirely unrepresented —excepting perhaps
Tennessee. Hon. Andrew Johnson, one of
the Senators from that State, if he continues to
be actuated by the same sentiments for which
be is now battling, will not recognize the
unconstitutional action of the Legislature of
his State, but will take bis seat in the Senate,
and represent the interests of Tennessee in •
that bodv precisely the same as if she had re
mained true to the Union. The seat of the
late Senator Douglas will be also unoccupied.
In full Senate there would be sixty-eight mem

THE POST OFFIC DEPARTMENT —The Post
master General is engaged in determining on
a new style of stamped envelopes, to be ready
for the public use in a few days. The Dew
stamps will *ot be furnished until the Ist of
August. These changes have been render*d
necessary by the large supplies retained by
the pootmaalers in the seceded States, and
now used by them without equivalent to the
U. S. Post Office Department. About two
dozen of these postmasters have returned bo'-
ances of stamped envelopes and stamps, in
sums ranging from 80 cents to $5O, while the
postmaster of Mobile recently honorably ac
counted for $2 000 worth. Although the
postmaster at Memplias had in'his possession
such property amounting $B,OOO, he wrote for
nri additional supply of largo value, but this
was refused, his dishonest iutenticu having
been detected.
Mr. JEFFERSON DAVIS has written a very
meek letter to the Maryland Legislature. Mr.
DAVIS asserts his desire for peace, and declares
that the " Confederate Government " would
readily entertain any proposition from the
Government of the United States tending
toward pence. There can be hut one proposi
tion from the United States Government, and
one of its conditions will be the trial of Mr.
DAVIS and his Confederates for high treason
against its authority. They who cry peace
must practice submission to the law.
We learn from England that Lord
JOHN RISSELL, the Minister for Foreign Af
fairs, has stated in Parliament that the Brit
isii Government will not permit Southern pri
vateers to enter their ports, or occupy them
for purposes of plunder or the disposul of plun
der. In this determination England is sup
ported by France, whose Emperor intimates
that tlie ports of the empire will be closed to
the Montgomery pirates. We expect to see
this action followed by that of the other Eu
ropean Powers, and thus, before the priva
teersmen of JEFFERSON DAVIS have got over
their sea-sickness, they will find themselves
debarred from entering the ports of the com
merciai world.

thirty-fire rainnies. la
One hundred and eighty-one persons *
saved in bouts, and landed on Cnpe V*
from which they were brought into thi|, '
this morning, by a French bark. '
From twenty to thirty lives were I<>,
eluding six cabin passengers, but as the, s j' l ;
papers went down in the ship, it i 3' P *
possible to tell the exact number drowned
A portion of the mails were saved. Amoi-.
those drowned were the mail officer and']
second officer of the steamer.
The Canadian struck the ice under } t .
foremast, and her three compartments w crg
broken in at once, whereupon she filled
idly and soon went down. The ice fi-ld r ;'j
not attract much attention when fi-.st disci?,
ered, as it looked small and was scarcelrthou
water. The steamer was going at slow
at the time she struck.
The Canadian had 49 cabin and 71 9 > e ,
ace passengers, which, with her crew of aboot
80, made nearly 200 souls on board.

lake shore It is a point of laud extend,™
much farther into the lake than any portion
of the shore to the northward of it. Stoi

fine view is had of t he city, appearing as it w cr ,
across a bay, whose noble inland sweeps u
dotted with lake shore residences.
On this point Mrs. Douglas is the owneri
fee independent o f her late husband, of at
acre and a half or ground. It was selected
by her some years ago on account of the brant?
of site for a tesidence, and the fee in the ground
was at the stma time conveyed to her. Tr,s
view afforded, and which, from the pe-ulia?
situation of the land, can never be obstructed
by buildings, is probably the Guest in or uctr

The tomb now prepared is only a temporar?
one, of brick masonry, raised only three e
four feet above the surface, aud exieua;;,-
seven feet below it
