MILITARY AFFAIRS AT ANNAPOLIS.
sorreepundenf or the Tetteues -viirluse from An
sepolie, trio., -under date of the eeth,.a.s follows: :-
Ties quaint old city has become the .ee.1314.43 of im-
Mense ami vite , and its quiet inhabitants, most of
whom are rebel, b 3 nipathizers, stare between the
forme of their gri-throuen Vghene weirtien blindsstreets at

imor , in" e Ear
ronediegeg count's - The tread fields where the
liurrienie ex eeditunt of ildie encamped. are egain
wits ened with rapidly incre , eing touts; which
seem to have sprung, up with the grass of spring.
Groeps - are daily end bonny engaged in teritling,.
it us important that the w recruits should ac
quire some pro ticien cy at an early day. The ad van
tage of rte fitting up Vitale regiments is aPparent,as
the actual experience of these ve areas becomes at
once part of the joint stuck in trade of the otd and
new treops. Another change is a.so apparent, and
is significantly buggestive of the rrogress of events.
Wier- once the wrap of the stave-driver cra.ked
over die twirls, and the ring of fetters resounded
around the slave mart, these is now heard the
creek of the rifle at target praztice, in tee hands of
those very slaves, and the ring of the ramrod in
the steel barrel - sines a diffeient, soug to their ears.
In cne of the Michigan regiments, also, are three
or lour eldepunies oi.lisyal Indians, who have en
listed to aid their Gr=ac.Fathtr in punishing his
parricidal and fratricidal sons. The nt-groes make
tar betnr soleiers, however; than the ladle's.
It is now no secret that there is oeieg collected
at tilts city a large force of all arms of the service,
destined ior speolal service ender Gee Barustde
Wbeti the expedition will leave, what will be its
nuMbsre, and whither it will co, are matters of
isk-culation ,
qn
and to no one more so than to the
peepieg-throuithe Me-blind Secesh of
Annapolis. That it is to be an important Move
%there is no doubt; that it will be successful is more
• lum proeable. Meanwhile let us shire iu Lids
The last arrival of paroled prisoners . Ed much
toe and filling the excellent tiostfital at the Naval
Academe ,in charge of Dr. Vandereeift. A. num
ber of the pier, enlace ed, broken-spirited felto ws
have ahem , y died, and the kind surgeon tells me
that some 50 others will join the army of the dead.
If there be one person Norte who doubts the harsh
treatment the rebels give our prisoued relatives,
ls I. him or her come to Annapolis and look at ths
wrecks of humanity which the cold waves o
rebel cowardice and indifference have stranded
upin t
- he shore of he River Severn. The old quo
tation came forcibly to mind:
• .The Avon to the -Severn runs,
The Severn to the sea,
And Wicklyffe's blood shall spread abroad
Wide as the waters be_ ',—
And as Libby's loathsome walls rose in imagina
tion before me, I thought of the t-tßetaliatiort ! Re-
Wiesen .1" written all over those walls by oar
brave fellows.
The arrival of the new troops also contributed to
the hospital &large number or patients, victim, of
the bad effects of transportation by rail, where men
will buy indigestible pies, and poisonous candies,
and questionable sandwiches, with which they
gorge themselves into the hospital. If the men
had the exercise of marching, the pernicious ef
fects of this combination, though bad enough
Would not reach the point otherwise mire to be
/Maimed.
The reminiscences of tfie returned officers from
Libby are in the main similar, and mostly a repe
tition of the old tale. The officers explain the
dodge by which we have been made to believe that
the boxes sent trom home andby the tindery Com
mission have been or are being delivered, thus:—
When a flag of truce boat arrives, the rebels dis
tribute a few boxes, but atop the moment_ the next
batch of released prisoners are ofe t , These men see
ing the dietributio, going on, announce that fact at
home. It is averred by more testa one officer
cognizant of- the facts, -that there have been
at least 2,000 boxes received by the rebels,
but never distributed, some of which
are now on hand. The method of
giving the contents of a box to its owner , is some-
What ingenious, but quite destructive. The for
tnnate possessor is required to bring his blanket
and spread it on the ground. The box is opened,
and ppekage after package taken out and examined.
Chee,Yes are cut into inch pieces and pitched into
the blanket. Cans of condensed milk are perfo
rated with a steel pointed
...baton and follow suit
Packages coffee, tea, sugar, salt, etc., are torn
open and poured into the conglomeration. Cans
of butter are treated a la cans of milk. and so od
te...sungh the whole category of gbodies. The un
fort move cwaer is then told to take up his blanket
and walk, which he does, cursing the brute who
sidled, first his luxuries and then his comfort.
•In reference to the powder under Libby, Dick
Turner, formerly connected with the Eutaw
House, Baltimore; but now the hard-hearted'ad
intent of the prison, tole one of our officers who
questioned him that he (Turner) "knew damn
well that there was one thousand pounds of pow
der under the prison, but that he didn't put it
there." There is also other proof of the cowardly,
fiendish act Major Turner called several
of the officers down, and told them he understood
they 'had a plan to escape, but advised them
not to try it, as the most effectual means had been
take to prevent its success. This was the day after
Kilpatrick's attack.
The rebels use our privates at their different
trades. A call was made .for shoemakers, and
about two thousand volunteered, so as to escape
the rigors of Belle Island. Col. Di Cessnola, who
--was then one of the Commission to distribute the
gooc s to the prisoners on Belie Isle, seeing the ad
vantage thus derived by the rebels, cautioned the
men through their sergeants, that they were thus
aiding and abetting the rebellion. When this was
nuderstoOd, no mote volunteers were obtained.
An inmate of Fort Warren thought Cessnola
had no business to interfere with this pleasant
little arrangement of the rebels, and Col. C. was
relieved from the Commisidon.
• The paymaster gladdened the hearts of the pa
ruled officers end men yesterday, and qu• te a num
ber of officers left for the North last night. When
they•ilia landed in Annapolis these officers were
forced to beg for lodgings and something to eat;
they were refused admittance at the hotels, but at
last got in at some of the boarding-houses, and
- when it was found they had money the hotel
keepers relented. The handsome Secesh ladies of
the town adhere to the old customs of wailing
themselves when they come in sight of an officer,
and removing this bar of their beauty after passing
him. They also avoid having the hem of their
garments brush against the hated uniform.
The forlorn look with which your correspondent
was told at the City lintel that "it was next to im
possible to keep hotel now for want of help;" and
to the query "why'?" the still more forlorn an
swer, ' •because our boy. (slaves) have enlisted,"
would have convinced Fernando Wood, or Sunset
iDer, Vallandteham, or even Jeff. Davis, that
"Slavery was dead." It is to be hoped that the
'Union party will see the corpse deeply, if not de
cently, interred.
ABOUT FISH AND FISHING.
Fishing is like ptetry, aman most be borne to it,
said honest and enthusia tic Izaak Walton, and
there is, undoubtedly, an almo a irresistible fasci
nation exercised by it over its votaries, which, to
be believers in Dr. Johnson, with hie worm at one
end and fool at the other, is both incomprehensible
and ridiculous. Still. notwithstanding the dictum
of the ursine philosopher, the popularity of the
"gentle craft" is unquestionable. No license is
recraired to follow it. A few shillings will pro
tare all needful appliances for its lower branches.
The urchin rejoices in a piece of twme
and a crooked pin; it gives semblance of occup
hen without labour ; it leads its dis
ciples into fresh air, and, usually,
pleasant scenery. But this 'atter luxury can. of
cunt se, only be erjoyed in perfection by those who
recline on a gra-sy bank, or sit at ease surroanded
by creature comforts ins pant. and le nowise ap
plicable to the salmon fisher who is forced to tear
at break-neck speeci over break -neck rocks or to
*wade breast high mid-stream, reckless of cruel
snags and holes. Indeed, it is doubtful in
anch case which has most sport, man or ash,
for assuredly the latter is often master of the sit
'mime , and leads the angler, hither, thither, like
a blind man by a dog: As a general rule, how,
ever, the angler ultimately has the best of it, the
fish furnishing him with fun while living, and
food 'when dead. Upon so engrossing a pursuit
works without number have been written, Wal
ton's 'being the highest in literary merit; but the
directions of that father of the craft are now voted
obsolete, and his work is only valued for the
charming pictures it conveys, especially to those
..in populous- city pent," of rural life aad
scenery. An English work by Par. Pen
men ' has ' gone at length into the natural
history of fish, or " ichthyology,'
to use the scientific term, his object being not
merely t enable the angler to catch them, bat to
incince.liiin to observe their customs and manners,
and thus enlarge theboundary_ of our knowledge
concerning them; and he even anticipates that by
this means new varieties may possibly be dis
covered in these islands. Even as it is, the va
riety is much greater than one would think. Thus
all our readers are familiar 'with the roach; but
how many have come in contact with its relation
to the graining? Again, the sight, if not the taste, of
the ealmen is within reach of every one, yet who
'ould suspect it of being connected with the
gwynlilit the pollon and the powan 1 Although
the salmon family,inclnding all varieties of trout,

item of which, in his eyes. is, that it o casionally
seizes the. bait with such energy as to force the
aag'er to drop the rod from sheer terror; and an
other is that it will attack mankind not merely in
the water but on land, the author himself having
.had the privilege of being severely bitten above
' the knee by a fine Thames fish, which sprung off
the ground after. it was supposed to be dead, and
seized him 'by the thigh, where it hung' , —..a 4p r i_

siastic as to envy him., He, also tells us a pike
attempted manslaughter.
In the Reading Mercury a statement appeared
that a lad aged 15, named Eengtmrst, had gone
into Inglemere Pond, near Ascot Heath, to bathe. -
. and that, when he bad walked into the depth of
about four feet, a huge fish, supposed to he a pike,
suddenly rose to the enriace and seized his arm.
Finding himself resisted, however, he abandoned
it, but stilliol lowed, and caught hold of the other
band, which he bit very severely. The lad, clench
ling the hand which had been flrstb.tten,strach his
assailant a heavy blow or. the head, when the fish

eeep,and whichbled profusely. I wrote to this
entleman whit very p lbtely obtained and sent this,
13,1, Sept. 18, 1857, the wholehccount in writing,
from the young man's - father (George s s onglaurst,
of Sunnite Bill), which I give. as I received it:
"Particulars of an encounter with a -fish in the
month of June, 1855. One of my sons; ged
15,
went with three other boys to bathe in. Inglemenre
-Pond, near Ascot race-course; he walked gently
into the water to about the - depth of four
feet, when he spread out his hands to attempt to
swim; Instantly a large fish came tip. and took
his hand into his mouth as far up as the
w'ist, but, finding he could not
swallow it, relinquished his - hold, and
the boy turning round, prepared fora hasty re
treat out of the pond; his companions, who saw it,
air o scrambled out of the pond as fast as possible.
MY son had e arcely turned himself round when
the fish came up brhlnd him and immkdiately
seised his other • hand, crosswise, inflicting .
some very deep wounds on the back of it; the
boy raised his flrst.biten, and still bleeding
atm, and struck the mot:rater a bard ,blew on
the head, when -the fish- disappeared. The
other boys assisted- him to dress, bound
up his hand with _their handkerchiefs,
a• .d brought him home. We took him down to
Brown, surgeon, who dressed seven wounds
in one hand, and so great was the pain the next
day, that the lad feuded twice; the little linger
was bitten through the nail, and it was more than
six weeks before it was 'well. The nail came
off; and the scar remains to this day. A few
days after this occurrence, one of the woodmen
.
was walking by the side of the pond, when
be saw something white floating. A man,
who was passing on horseback, rode in, and
found it to tr. a large.pike in a. dying state;
he twisted his 'whip round it and brought tto

Well. that is a success, surely !' •
This was the remark of a bookseller from another
city, ar he gave a nberal order, and it is a common
remark made daily from all quarters.
The reason is, it is the best novel of high-toned,
first-class English i.ociety, which every one likes
to read about, that has been published for years.
It is true to Mr life, and stirs up no base feelings,
but arouses the best, and teaches an admirable
lesson.
It is bound to hayp as long a run in this country
as it has had in England.
For thirteen years it has held its own there with
ten new books a day to crowd it out of existence.
Do you wonder that there is so great a demand
for it here 7
