The Sanitary Commission embraces that most humane system which-gives’selief by tbe beet possible means; such means as have been blessed to the raising up of thousands from a soldier’ sarave. The same results are known of thelbhristian Commission, as it extends efforts to the outline of Its means cm the plan of the first starting point, which, • ‘like the Jgreat founder of Christianity, embraces.both body and soul.’,’ There Is no conflicting element in these organi sations, as some persons imagine.

[Correspondence of the Baltimore American. 1 Annapolis, March 9,16dt.—0n Wednesday at three o’ clock, the steamer City of New York ar rived at Annapolis with 660 of our released sol diers—among whom were forty-eight officers— from the prisons of Richmond.* They left there on .Monday, as a “proportionate amount” forthe number of rebels forwarded from Point Lookout* by General Butler. They tell the same stories as are told by all ol onr men who come from there— inhuman treatment at the hands of the rebel au tborities. A large number of the released prisoners are Marylanders. Among the members of the 9th Maryland is Sergeant Benjamin Swearer, the color-bearer of the regiment, the man who first raised the Stars and Stripes over Fort Clack, on Hatteras Island, after its successful capture by General Butler. The Sergeant brings with him the glorions ‘ • Old Flag’ ’ presented to the regi ment when at Cnarlestown, Vs., fly citizens of Baltimore, where he and it were both afterwards captured. When he was captured he secreted the flag around his body under his clothing and carried it to Richmond. While on .Belle Isle it was some times buried or carried on his person, but always secreted. As the prisoners were transhipped at City Point to the steamer City of New York, each-one was searched by the rebel authorities, and poor Swearer thought the time to part with his dear old flag had at last come; but, after taking from him one or two letters, he was allowed to pass. The flag now looks as though covered with blood, the perspira tion having run the colors together—the red into tbe white. The wildest excitemeßt existed in Richmond on Sunday last in relation to the raid of General Kilpatrick. The Urine; of guns could be dis - tinctly heard by our men on Belle Isle, the die. tance of the skirmishing from the city being, they state, not more than amile and a halfortwomiles. The rebels said that they had mined Libby Prison and if the city fell into the hands of the Union troops, they intended to blow the buildin to atoms with all the ofllcers confined therein. The prison ers captured during the late raid are most inhumanly treated; and any of onr men wearing the uniform of cavalrymen, are certain to be knocked down wherever found, and beaten by rebel soldiers. Threats are niade to hang all the prisoners taken during the raid. > Among the arrivals are three Colonels, four Lieutenant Colonels, five Majors, sixteen Cap tains, and twenty Lieutenants. There are also nenriy two hundred non-commissioned officers and privates of Maryland regiments, several have been placed In bosnitals. After wfl?lle‘se E iUtoOampPar f ol T e. a ° r two men 1 have been informed by a number of released prisoners, that on Friday night last, a splendid pointer dog belonging to one of the rebel officers on Belle Isle, Lieut. Bossuet, was killed and part ly devoured by three of our men, so craving was their appetites.

The flre from-the f OT t is evidently failing, to judge from the spirited manner jn which it first replied to the fleet on the opening of the bombardment onTuesday laat. we are looking for the surrender of the fort at every moment, as it cannot hold out'long against thevigorous fire directed upon it. Shells from the gunboats and bombs from .the mortars can be dis tinctly seen, striking and bursting in and over the The mortar fleet and gunboats are inside Dan phjn Island. Admiral Farragut, as I'stated before in my last dispatch, is on the Calhoun. «? J.® * nc ing at the map it will be seen'that the Admiral probably intends silencing the guns of xoit Powell, which commands Grant's Pass, for *s® P nr P oSe of sending hismoßquito fleet through JPass into the harbor of Mobile. By c oing so he wul cut off Forts Gaines and Morgan. The channel through Grant’s pass allows ves sels drawing no more than seven and a half feet to pass up, but those drawing more are compelled po by Mobile Point and between Forts Gaines and Morgan. This is done by vessels keeping iu to tne sho»e going east, passing between.Petit Bois Island and Dauphin Island, round the latter and then between the forts into the harbor of Mobile. An enemy’s vessel would be compelled to pass under the guns of Fort Morgan, on account ox the obstructions placed in the channel. Fort Gaines cannot be approached on account of • the shallowness of the water. When Fort Powell sunenders Admiral Farragut will have thirty miles to proceed before he can ar rive at Mobile, nine of which are through a narrow channel, with its banks fortified the whole dis tance. Obstructions are again placed entirely across the channel three miles from the city, in such a way that vessels are compelled to pass under the gnns of two iron-clad forts and ft battery from the shore. On the west side of Mobile a line of intrench ments passes completely around the city, inside of which are forts and powerful battertes. Indeed, Mobile is defended very strongly at every point. Spiles are driven in the channel, and a vessel laden stone is ready to be sunk at any moment to make the obstructions complete. ’ Admiral Farragut has, as yet, done nothing against Forts Morgan and Gaines; and it is pro bable that he will not attempt anything against these powerful forts with ihe fleet be has here, as the channel is very narrow, the buoys have all been removed and obstructions placed in every direction. * Many believe that Mobile cannot be taken bv water with this fleet, and that Admiral Farragut will be compelled to return to New Orleans for more powerful vessels. The rebel ram Tennessee still lies in Mobile Bay The following is published in the Mobile papers: TO THB PEOPLE OP 3IOBILB. i our city is about to be attacked by the enemy. Mobile must be defended at e verv hazard and to the last extremity. To do this effectively, all who cannot fight must leave the city. The bmve de fenders of the city can fight with more energy and enthusiasm when they feel assured that the noble women and children are out of danger. I appeal to the patriotic and non-combatants to leavlfor the interior. The pbople of the interior towns and the planters in the country will receive and pro vide support for all who go. The patriotic of the city wul see the importance and necessity of heed ing thi6 call.

Please use every menus in your power to induce them to do so without delay The Governor of Alabama assures me that he will take measures to secure to the people an asylum in the upper region of country bordering the rivers above here. I cannot believe that the kind and hospitable people of Mobile, who have for years been opening their houses to the homeless refugees from other parts of the confederacy, wul fail to receive ready welcome and kind protection during the attack on their homes. Patriotism demands that they lease the city for a while to those who can defend it. Pmdence urge* that they make no un necessary’ delay in going I will assist you here with transportation.

Citutni t/ilclrilt: I have the honor to lay before you tbe following communicaiion.addressed to me by our C&mmandlng General, requeuing that I use every means in my power to induce the non-com batants to leave the city without delay. Fellow citizens, onr city in ail probability, will be attacked in, a very short Urns by the enemy. Yon cannot doubt the propriety and pure motives of the General in urging all non-combatants to leave im mediately. The city may, and likely will be, be sieged. Enough is known at least to make it pru dent to prepare for the worst. You mustknowthat if besieged the soldiery and citizens can be provided for only for a certain length of time, and every one who leaves it furnishes so much more food for the eoldlbr. Onr Governor also requests that you leave, and declares that he will use his large influ ence in the interior for yonr comfort and protec tion. Do not hesitate any longer, but go Immedi ately. Transportation will be furnished you fer the purpose. I feel confident that it is the lmpres eicn of onr rulers that if our lovely city falls Into the hands of the enemy it will be theresnlt of star vation. Will you be instrumental in thie catas trophe by standing In the way of protecting and defending it 1 I believe not I feel confident that If you take the advice of the General and Gover nor, Mobile will be successfully defended, and that ere long you may return in safety to your hemes.' R. H. SLOUGH, Mayor. I to a Te just seen a gentleman who arrived, from Mobile. He gives me the following important news: Thirty thousand men, under the command of Gen. Folk, left the city on the 15th Inst, for the purpose of meeting and giving battle to General Gherman, who was then reported eight miles from Schubutah, with a division of his {army, thirty thousand strong, advancing on Mobile, while an equal number were advancing on Selma. The cavalry officer, Gen: Stephen D. Lee, and Gen. Loring, were in the rear of Gen. Sherman, the former with a force ef six thousand cavalry, and the latter with about eight thousand infantry. General Forrest about the same time (15th) started from La Grange, Tcnn., feran attack on Mem phis. The rebel ram Tennessee is said to he the most powerful vessel in the world. She is plated with six-inch iron and carries seven one hnndredponn der Parrotts. The intention is to attack and de- of mortars and gunboats attaching Two of tbe guns whicli sunk the Monitor Keokuk at Charleston are now mounted on Fort Morgan. My informant states that there are now in the city provisions for six months for thirty thousand men, and they cannot bo taken either by land or water with the army which will be there, should it be compelled to fall back upon Mobile. As soon as that portion of Polk’s army /which was divided), arrived at Mobile from Domopolis, Sack to Schubutalh’ ™ re im “ o dintely sent —s a 7 this i® ‘he boldest movement over made by tbe Union anny, and a brilliant success So.L sa ? l^?. ns d . efeat m »y be expected.

Perhaps, now in a matter so nearly ef fectir g thejifrjonnrl of the Government, we shall see a different spirit diiplayed, and may find that our principal authorities begin to understand he character of the war, and to be conscious that they arc the representatives and agents of a cause that should respect itself, and should exhibit the thinness that springs from conviction. Now or never we must show the enemy and the world that ■ ‘ we know onr rights, and knowing, dare main tain. This day’s snn should not go down before every scoundrel taken in this assassin’s work is blown to atoms from the months oi cannon, and every means should be employed to get the names of as many as possible of those who have escaped, so that, it taken hereafter, they may be treated in the same way. [From the Examiner.] ■ THE RKLATTVH COST. Throw out of the account the valuable lives of ■ our citizen soldier* lost by the late raid, throw ou\ too, the negroes, horses, mules and cattle stolen, the mills and iron works burnt, the bridges des troyed, the railroads tern up, the alarm of the wo rt eu and children in the country and city—cast all these aside, and look at the matter from another point of Tie w. I or three or four days all the Departments and all the 'workshops have been closed. We may be sure that the clerks and employes, fagged out by marches, exposure and privation, will- be in no condition to work to-day. The Day of Rest cornea in gcod time for them. On Monday next, then, the pnhlic business will be resumed—unless, in deed, some mischievons scout takes it into his head to give the people of Richmond another shaking up. Nearly a week will thus have been lost, and lost at a time when every moment is of priceless value. Thirty days grace in which to fund stx hundred millions of dollars, and the Treasury dost d during seven of those days ! If we turn from the Treasury to the great work shops where the munitions of war are made, tho case U as bad or worse, for the time lost cannot be made up in either of these places. But count the cost. Bach clerk and each artisan is paid five, ten, fllteen or twenty dollars a dav. His pay goes on, while the Government is furnishing him rations in the field and losing his skilled labor the only thing which saves him from regular military service. Taken suddenly from a warm room, and exposed to rain and sleet, loss of sleep, scant and badly-ccoked food, it is but fair to inferthat the larger number of these clerks and handicraftsmen will be made more or less sick, and rendered in capable of official labor for weeks to com®. The chances are that some of them will die. And skilled labor is scarce enough in this Confederacy, while all, or nearly all the Departments are behind hand in their work. MAJOR-GENERAL SIGEL.
