FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1861. “ On the Banks of that Lone River,” An odd caption for a local item, wo confess, but the sweet English ballad's name is nevertheless quite appropriate to our subject. For the last thirty *r forty years, perhaps, a quiet, shady lane bos cosily stretched itself along the west bank of the Sohuyydll river, from the Wire Bridge past Market street. • Beginning no where in particular, and as though by the merest accident in the world, leading shiftlessly along to almost any indefinite locality, and ending in the same incomprehensible way—without an apparent purpose in life, any more thai to drag out a fetter ed existence, like the “ Father of the Marshalsea,” and, moreover, blocked up by short-sighted art into a mere ravine that Nature had too much judgment to hollow out for it—it has come to be looked upon as a sort of topographical nonentity, as a foundling thnt has never awakened to the shame of its own paternity, and that has never been taken kindly by the hand, and taught to look back with a fond re gret to the brightest days of its existence. Thus for nigh half a century it has stretched itself along the river's edge on sunny days, and watched its face reflected in a thousand rippling circles for every pebble cast into the water: and in all that half a century it has been wandering by the water side without a name ' —at least without a name in the city's official nomenclature of highways and by ways. People have called it the river road, because it has wound along the river's brink so many passing years without straying after fresh fields and greener pastures; and some, in their self-complacence, have called it the “lonesome road,” because they could never muster the courage to travel it by sun light, or moonlight, or twilight. While others, more courageous, and probably more resthetical, and certainly owning property in “the village,” have christened it the “romantic road.” And others still, whose sordid eyes can never sec the dulcc for the utile, have bestowed upon it the un musical appellation of the “ short cut, ” But the sordid are often their own unwitting satirists. So, the corpulent, nnd the asthmatic, and they that are wont to groan under heavy mar keting of a Saturday, hare never found it a particle shorter than other routes of less pretensions; not a bit shorter on summer days, when the river is only a band of geld between two slopes of green, and when every atom of dust by the wayside is gasping and panting for a breath of life; not a bit shorter in winter time, when every blast of Old Boreas comes sweeping down from its northern fastness like a eharge of the First City Troop: not a bit shorter than pther routes, in fact, bmuse of its serpentine course, and because of a certain air it has of hairing just stepped out for an evening ramble, and of having been charmed away to self forgetfulness by the water-lilies, and the freeb hay scent, and the voices of the rustling corn. Here, then, for an apostrophe: 11 The veined wind-flower in the somhre wood, Thought-breeding pansies- in the sunlight glowing, Or red-cloaked lilies iu the meadows growing. Best image thee, in every changing mood!” Half way down the road you come to an old atone bridge that once had a wooden coping, no doubt, for vestiges of it still remain; but every one who ever went that way, and sat awhile fo rest himself, was wont, it seems, to carve his initials there. So the coping has crumbled and shrunk away, and the name of many a one who years ago was laid beneath the Eod, has been overgrown with the ivy-green. Bist the lapse of time has not crumbled the marble -lab get in the staunch-built masonry. The strange, old-fashioned letters that sprawled into existence a good long life ago from the point of the sculptor's chisel, have managed to sprawl along Time’s highway ever since, unscathed, and smile at you thus, with a world of memories in their eyes; COUNTY BEUBK 19 38. Beneath the bridge a streamlet used to come down to the river every day from Pbwclton, but its visits have ceased long since, and tradition is silent as to the cause. Its bed is sere and trackless now, but when the brown-faced autumn comes the wi thered leaves shall gather there, and rustle sadly with the paseing winds. Though but a brief half mile in length, and sweeping through dangerous gravel pits, the Bone gome I*ane 1$ still m the prime ef beauty, and f?UU B Study IW TPTCio-eg-Matnra, in tier.. picturesque- and startling moods. TVhere foot-walks ought't« be there are ridges of grassy knolls, that the roam ing cattle have almost shorn of their growth of greenness by constant croppings; and out of the knolls start tall cedars, and oaks, and sapling wil lows. As for the main roadway, it has taken a most novel and unjustifiable method of getting toils journey’s end—a method of hills and hollows that may be pleasant enough to the eye in a sketch, but is apt to startle a stranger with the notion that the lane has come to an untimely end, in a clump of poplars or a wooded farm. None but vagrants ever seem to frequent the lonesome lane, and they always seem to be seated upon the grassy knolls, untying bundles of clothes in their laps, or else have their eyes bent indus triously on the water; always seem to start mys teriously at the sound of a foot-fall near them; always seem, from the look of their bleared and blood-shot eyes, to have a weighty secret, which they arc anxious to keep concealed from you. Some times a stray pedler crosses the threshold of tfffeir haunts, and seats himself upon a knoll; but it is only that he may wipe his face, and unsling his pack for a moment’s rest, and a moment’s breath of the grateful air. He is always a languid, care worn, weary man, with a furrowed brow and un shorn chin, and a'lustreless eye that tells the tale of a purposeless, withered life. After a lapse of time that has brought no rest, his staff i 3 taken up again, and the weary tramp resumed, till he sinks from view in a hollow of the road. His moment’s rest was a thought of his fatherland. Beyond the willows and the gnarled oak-branches that out up the face of the moon so oddly, lie the broad green marshes by the river. In the braTe days of old when freshets were not a nine days’ wonder, the bosom of the marshes would often be covered with canal-boats, and the subsiding waters would leave them there to pcriEh in their ignominy. Several of these boats are still to be seen thus im bedded in the smiling but treacherous mead out of reach from the land-side, and unfit for service on the water. In the morning’s sunehiue their dis mantled hulks loom out of the river-mists, with a strange reminiscence of a mindful scene in “ Great Expectations.” As far as vivid scenery can go, here may we view tho faithful counterpart of its opening Chapter; and only a few weeks since, the graveyard, too, was here, as though to complete the picture. All day long the voices of the marsh keep up a tuneful melody. All day long the grasshopper rings the “Siege of Belile,” or something else as monotonous, but fifty per cent, more endurable. All day long the locusts are whispering secrets in the cover of the grass. All day long the old-fash ioned frog is croaking an autobiography—which frogs on other lonesome roads never so mueh as think of doing. If his croakings were only more intelligible, or the English language more pronounce able and primitive, he would teU you, hew in days of yore, the Schuylkill Banger made his haunts in these old hulks and marshes—and how the prowess of his deeds made godly people tremble—and how the mysteries of strange men’s bodies, found float ing lifeless among the tall green reeds, remained forever unravelled—and hOW ghosts from Potter's Field were seen to patrol the lonesome road on moonless nights, so that it fell into disrepute, and was ever after shunned. But Potter’s Field has been removed along with its ghostly phantoms, and tho Schuylkill Ranger has gone to the tomb of the Capulets. _ And th» little birds, too, have a tale of their lives to twitter, had we but time to stay and listen, for it is here that the city’s younger sons and would-be sportsmen most do congregate, when the Shooting season comes. What matter if most of them cannot handle a gun? They have accom plished much to be already so well acquainted with the lingual requisites of their calling. It is much to be able to speak flippantly of “mashes” for “marshes,” and “patridges” for “partridges,” without a blush mounting to their ermine cheeks— much to be able to use the feline particle “ cat ridge” in place of the honest substantive their grandsires used in ’76. Sportsmen are such apa culiar class of beings, and must be indulged in as sharp-defined characteristics as the featherless fledglings that they prey upon. Tho slaughter of tho innocents has made their natures imperious, And there are tuneful voices in the lonesome lane by night . The tremulous chirp of the cricket, who, like Widow Machreo’s kettle, “ rings songs full of melody”—the call of the locust to hia comrades — the unearthly hoot of the sereech-owl, and anon the dull flapping of his wings—the plash of an oar. from out the darkness of the water, as though an Indian were paddling down the stream in his birch canoe —the winding note of the boatman’s horn, to which the distance lends a mournful cadence —the steady roar of the waters of the dam; —those are the voices of the lane after nightfall; and never—even in the gloom of midnight—is nature wholly voice less, though it is held by Barry Cornwall that “ All things that live nnfl arc, love quiet hours—’’ But the lonesome lane (how cheerless the allitera tion!) Li fast being shorn of its primal romance. ,j,he green meads and marshes are gradually yield- ing to tliftt foremost law of organic nature—ilie law of change—of which the poet hath truly said: “'Tin writ in the sl;y, ’tin writ on tlie deep, ’Tie writ on the graves where our fathers sleep.” Out to the furthermost verge of the verdure, the new wharves of the Pennsylvania Railroad are now being extended, and the Vandal spirit of progress is wedding itself to new piles of brick and mortar at every turn of tho road. Still the Swiss cottage built back among the trees will always have a redeeming beauty, for each sterile feature of the landscape, and still more the associations connected with the Fair grounds Just opposite, will always lead a brightening aspect to the spot, though every sylvan charm should fade with the dying years. Nearly all the agricultural fairs of the city and State societies have been held on this very site. Here was given birth an impetus to the Commonwealth's inventive skill and indus trial interests, which the nation's crisis may check but cannot overthrow. Here were the' trials of speed between highborn Etook, that stirred the blood of thefancy" men like rich old wino—here mammoth beets and golden pumpkins smiled for days at a time on village matrons and the country folk—and here the panorama of human life passed swiftly down to the valley and shadow of Time. American Affairs in .Europe. MR. ROEBUCK, M. P., HAKES A SPEECH. At a public dinner, given to Iton. Mr. Roebuck.. Member of Parliament for Sheffield, that remarka ble gentleman expatiated'very freely on foreign affairs, He was very loving towards France and Louis Napoleon, but towards Brother Jonathan he was something else, as will be seen by the extract from his speech below: He had now travelled over Europe, and for a few moments would croes the Atlantic, and would ask what should be the condupt of Englishmen with re gard to the great eentest going on m America; He owned that with regard to that country his early anticipations had been shaken. He believed in the gTeat men—the Washingtons, the Jeffersons, and ethers of past times [hear, hear], and that there was about to be shown to mankind a new era in the government of man—that this people, instruct ed and well-to-do in the world—many of them men of rank—would have governed themselves as men ought to do. He had been miserably dis appointed [Hear.] If wc were to say to an Ame rican, “lVe give you every virtue under Hen-, ven, we believe you to be the greatest people on the earth, but still it seems to me you don’t speak English as it Bhould bo spoken—this you speak through the nose”—[laughter] —Are and fury will be the answer. He will eay, with a mighty indig nation. “Sir, I grant you the imputation that we snuffle in our speech.” [laughter,] and then all we have stated on behalf of this nation will be for got, because we had said that they snuffled in their speech. [Oh!] That, unfortunately, he (Mr. Roebuck) believed to bo a true statement of the present case. The unspeakable audacity,' the overhearing insolence of Americans [hear! hear!] had withdrawn from them all sympathy on the part of the people of England. [Hear! hear!] looking at the great contest now going on, was there a man in this country who aid not in his heart desire that the slave might bo free ? [Hear, hear.] These are with the North, our commercial interests are with the South, but still we have acted throughout with complete neutrality, and what has been the consequence? We have been visited with abuse as was never before heaped upon us, and we have borne it with a magnanimity and carelessness which showed our superiority. We must still, however, pursue our course of strict neutrality with regard to the affair. Our hearts and our wishes were with the oppressed. After further remarks upon the slave question, Mr. Roebuck resumed his seat amid great applause. A Spanish General’s View of the Union ’ Army. General Sana, a Spanish officer, who was men tioned in Mr. Bussell’s last letter as on a visit to the troops at Washington, has written a letter to the Diana J)e la Marina , of Havana. It will be seen the letter was written only a few days after the battle of Manassas, and when the army was in its worst condition. If the General should visit the camps at . this moment, he would find them very much changed from what he last saw them. He says: • It is necessary to see this place to be convinced of what is occurring, and to form an idea of what kind of an affair an army is composed of men with out any military habits, and led by officers—-chiefs and generals—for the most part devoid of the know ledge necessary. Excepting the war material in the transportation department, such as wagons, gun carriages, ambulances, Ac., which is magnificent, all else is a confusion of ill-clad men, without any military instruction, and, what is worse, without trying to acquire it, according to appearances, Since daring the time I remained there I have seen them pass days and nights in the camps without doing anything, with the exception of battalion drill for a short while in the morning, and again in the eve ning. As far as I have been able to observe, they have no large fields for manoeuvring or target ex ercises, which surprises me, since I know the fond ness they have for it in this country. Nothing im pheises yon that there are seventy thousand men in the neighborhood preparing for war. Silence and tronqulilMy the city and camps, neither more nor less than if everything were state. For all I hare searched, I hare not succeeded in finding either cavalry or artillery. True, the latter they abandoned on the Bull Run field of battle, and the former they have never had except in compara tivcly insignificant numbers. What they have is draught cattle such as I have never seen anywhere; the harness and gun carriages are all bran-new, since they lost those they previously had in the bat tle, and that, too, in great numbers, as every one says. Certainly, all that money can procure is had here in abundance; but there are things which cannot be improvised. Hence it is that, according to my opinion, thfsfgentry will he beaten as often as they go into battle—at least for the present. Nothing of all that is said by the Southernpapers on the result of the battle is exaggerated. Here it is known perfectly well that the Federalists, besides having run away helter-skelter, lost about 19,000 muskets, seventy odd cannon, (!) all their wagons and provisions, field train, tents, and a great part of their knapsacks. It is only necessary to take a peep at an encampment to notice that not one of these latter is to be seen. Tho soldiers use no more clothing nor uniform than what we understand by barrack dress, and their olothes are so clumsily worn, dirty and motley, that it is necessary to see to believe. Beards and long hair are also very much in fashion. I wonder if they imagine the enemy will be frightened by showing them dishe velled heads and dirty, hairy face 3. The Loss of the Privateer Jeff. Davis. Tke Richmond Enquirer has the following ac count from one of the crew of the privateer Jeff. Davis, lately wrecked, from which we extract the following: “ When about eight hundred miles east of Cape Florida they came in contact with the ship John Crawford, Captain Edge, from Philadelphia, bound to Ivey West, with arms and coal for tho United States forces. She was found to draw twenty-two feet of water, and could not possibly be brought in. The officers and crew, numbering in alt twenty-two persons, were taken on board the privateer, the vessel fired and holes bored in her sides and bottom. This was about 4 o’clock in the morning, and by food daylight the ship was wrapped in flames, going own shortly afterwards. II was found impossible to secure any of the arms, as they were stowed un der the coal. “ They then turned their oourse, with a light wind, for St.'Augustine, Florida. Upon nearing the coast the wind increased, until finally it blew a perfect gale. The vessel had crossed the Gulf safe ly, and on Friday night, tho 15th, they hove to, and found themselves in sixteen fathoms water. At daylight land was discovered and a clear coast. They were then about ten miles south of Matanzas! Squared away and made for St. Augustine bar. Found the tide too low upon their arrival, and Stood off. The captain hoisted the Confederate flag at the fore-topgallant mast and fired a gun as a signal for a pilot. Three attempts were made to get into the harbor, but it was found they could not weather it. The vessel kept working up to the windward through the night, and at daylight they discovered themselves ten miles from the bar. The flag was again hoisted, and a pilot was observed coming towards the brig and giving the usual sig nals. “ In attempting to cross the bar, however, the brig grounded on the North Breakers. This was about half past six o’clock Sunday morning, the 17th instant. A small boat was sent ashore with Dr. Babcock and Lieutenant Baya, and the prison ers landed. The officers and crew of the privateer then went ashore, and were greeted with the most enthusiastic demonstrations by tho inhabitants. About half past nine two light-boats went off to the brig, along with Captain Coxetter and other officers. The star-hoard guns were thrown overboard to lighten the vessel, in order to clear her decks of water,, and save as much as possible of the supplies on board 'tho brig. Every effort was made to saye every thing then on board, but it was supposed that the guns thrown overboard stove her in and caused her to bilge. The light-boats, however, were filled with a large amount of provisions and baggage, and finally succeeded in saving all the small-arms on board. About two o’clock all hands had left and were conveyed to St. Augustine. The brig is a total loss. B"t a small pioee of her bow was re. maining on Thursday morning, and it was then thought that she would go to pieces before day light.” Commodore Stringham Serenaded. Commodore Stringhnm was serenaded at his home in Brooklyn. New York, on Wednesday evening. In response to the compliment he said: “ Citizens, Neighbors, and Friends : I can not express in words the appreciation I have of the feelings you have manifested on this occasion [Ap plause.] You must not expect a speech from a sailor who hBS never been in the habit of talking to an audience, except on the quarter-deck of a man of-war. [Great cheering.] I have sailed under the glorious old Btars and stripes for fifty years, and when I fight again, I hope It will be still under that noble old banner, to which the gentleman who preceded me has alluded. [Applause.] _That is the glorious old banner of our oountry,_and our country will even yet bo represented by its starry folds. But, I must say that they have compliment ed me very highly this evening. I know it is be cause I am the representative of those gallant offi cers and men who served with mo, and took port in the action at Hatteraa. [Applause.] It waß owiDg to their co-operation that success was achieved, and I shall bear the news of this appre ciation to them. I accept your welcome zn their hehalf, and greet you to the hospitalities of my house. [Cheers, amid which the commodore re tired.j” _ Peter Mclnnis. one of the oldest settlers at Kouchibougac, N. died at that place on the 21st ultimo, at the advanced age of da® hundred sad three years. SOUTHERN NEWS. REBEL Accounts OF THEIR HATTERAS DEFEAT. From the various Southern exchanges that have reached us, we clip the following accounts of our ~a ~ c ras victory. The Raleigh (Ji. C.) Standard of Saturday says: 11 On Tuesday last, Gov. Clark received a despatch from General Huger, at Nor folk, stating that two steam frigates, eight armed vessels, with other small craft, had left Old Point on Monday, and steered South. The impression was they designed an attack upon our coast: Gov Clark at once ordered tho Seventh Regiment of State troops, commanded by Colonel Campbell, ta Newbern. On Wednesday, a despatch was re ceived via Newbern, that the fleot had anchored off Fort Hatteras. On Thursday afternoon an intense feeling wa3 created here by the additional announcement that I ort Hattera3 had been captured by the Nationals —that the guns of tho fort were silenced at an ear ly period of the day. Wo had nineteen cannon mounted at that point, with about 500 troops. The forye of the Rationale is varieuely estimated at from. 4,000 to 8,000. We doubt if they had more than 4,000, if that, os more could not well have been spared from Old Point. The Raleigh Register, of the same day, has the following : Oapt. Gates, of the schooner Isabella Ellis, reached Newbern on Thursday last, having left Hatteras on Wednesday at 12 o’clock M., and ■ re ports that when he left the Nationalists were Lom bardihg Fort Hatteras, the fort not responding after the expiration of about ten minutes. Capt. G. further stated that he heard from a pilot who was moving his family from the island, that on the pre vious night, (Tuesday,) the enemy had landed a large force between Cape Hatteras and the fort. The following is the number of the National fleet seen off the Cape: 8 steamships of war, 1 sailing frigate, 3 steam gun-boats, 3 barks, supposed to be transports; 9 long launches or surf-b*ats. Under this state of affairs, we feel warranted in entertaining the most serious apprehensions for the safety of Newbern, Washington, and in fact the en tire. coast. Col. Campbell's regiment, recently ,stationed at Graham, and originally destined for Virginia,, was sent toNewborn oh Wednesday, The ‘ Charlotte Artillery left their camp here on Thurs day for the same destination. ThqjVilmington Ar tillery, now jit Camp Boylan, and .under marching orders for Virginia, have been detained here'untU it can be ascertained if their services are needed on the coast. Since the above was writ tee, we have learned that Commodore Barron, Captain and Lieut. Sin clair, with the steamer Whitlow, and Capt. Brad ford. have been captured by the Nationals. Friday, 11 o’clock A. M. A despatch to Gov. Clarke has just been read in the House of Commons, conveying the intelligence of the surrender of our troops at Ilatteras to the Nationals. Among those surrendered was Colonel ■Martin, brother of Adjutant General Martin. For the sake of the credit of the State, we forbear to desoribe the effect which this despatch produced on the House. The Newbern Progress of Friday has the fol lowing: Fort Hatteras was surrendered to the National authorities about eleven o'clock on yesterday, Thursday. The steamer Winslow, which left there soon after the surrender on yesterday, arrived here about ten o'clock last night. She brought up five wounded men and one dead body. From Lieut. Citizen, of Capt. Lamb’s com pany, who escaped and came up, we gathered the following particulars : The national steamers, eleven in number, com menced the bombardment on Wednesday, and the forts. Clark imd Hatteras, returned the fire. It was kept up until dark, with but little lees on our side. On yesterday morning the conflict Was re newed. and continued until about eleven o'clock, when, after a desperate resistance, our forces were compelled to surrender, and the whole garrison are now held as prisoners, save a few who escaped. The Goldsborough Tribune of the 30th issues an extra from.which we extract: The attack was made on Wednesday morning at .8 o’clock, and kept up til! 11 o’clock A. M., on Thursday. Eleven of the enemy’s vessels were en gaged in the bombardment. Fort Clark was cap tured first, and l'ort Hatteras at the time named above, as that of the close of the cannonade. From 600 to 800 prisoners were taken by the enemy. Among them are Colonel Martin, Major Andrews, and Commodore Barron, son of the celebrated com modore of that name. Some eight or ten escaped. Qf the killed and wounded we hure no account at this time, but expect further details before we put this extra to press. The Wilmington Journal, of Friday afternoon, has the following: “An official despatch, received this morning from Newbern, via Goldsborough, says that Hatte ras Battery, and 535 of our men, including Capt. Bradford and Com. Barron, hare been taken pri soners by the National fleet. ” The Raleigh correspondent ef the Petersburg Express, of the 2d inst., says: “The news from our coast of yesterday and to-day is of a very sad character. Our eoaat is certainly in possession of the Yankees. They entered Hatteras Inlet on yesterday and took possession of our batteries and men there. From accounts, I suppose their en. trance was effected with very little trouble. Wo had- only one regiment, consisting of 800 men, sta tioned there and at Ocracoke Inlet. This was the Seventh Regiment North Carolina Volunteers. Its field officers were W. F. Martin, colonel; Geo. W. Johnston, lieutenant colonel; 11. A. Gilliam, major. The entire regiment, with the officers, were taken prisoners by the 1 ankees. The Yankee force consisted of sixteen war ves sels, among them'two very large ones. They stood out and bomimraeu uur natreries ai pLansnre and our guns not being able to reach a hull of the’fleet: Our men being few, our guns small, and our ammu nition scarce, all that could be done was to sur render, What does the entrance of the Yankees Into our waters amount to ? It amounts to this: The whole of the eastern part of the State is now exposed to the ravages of the merciless vandals. Newbern, Washington, Plymouth, Edenton, Hertford, Eliza beth City, are all now exposed, besides tho whole of the adjacent country. The strength of the Yankee force already landed is not definitely known. It is supposed to be about 8,000 men. Our State is now plunged into a great deal of trouble, which certainly could have been avoided had the proper steps been taken. Females are leaving the eastern part of the State rapidly, and coming here and going elsewhere. There is great agitation now throughout the State, as far as the news has reached. On Saturday, a reporter of the Express had a conversation with two wounded soldiers who were present at the bombardment, and gleaned the follow ing: On Thursday morning early, the enemy’s power ful guns opened fire at Port Hatteras, the war ships keeping out at a distance almost entirely beyond the reach of our guns. This they were enabled to do by means of their 64-pounders, while the largest guns at Hatteraa were only 32-pounders. It is stated that one of the national steamers be came a little bold and ventured within the range of our guns. A well-directed shot was immediately fired, which struck a small boat hanging from the davits on her forward quarter, and knocked it into fragments. Another shot speedily followed from Hattcras, which struck the hull of the steamer fair and square, producing an opening which was dis tinctly visible from the fort. This was more than the national craft had bargained for, and she in stantly directed her bow to seaward, and made for deeper water. About eleven o’clock our magazine was exploded by a shell from the enemy, which scattered death and destruction all around. It is to this unfortu nate and unexpected casualty that the capture of the fort is attributed, and not to a lack of ammuni tion, as has been erroneously stated. By this ex plosion, the great majority of the deaths on our side were effected. The wounded were speedily hurried to the Winslow, and the steamer sent off to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. All accounts agree that the Yankee soldiers now quartered on Hatteraa Island will have a most un pleasant situation, if they can be confined to that locality. It is a dreary, barren spot, composed chiefly of sand. During the latter summer and early fall months, it abounds with mosquitos, re markable alike for size and bloodthirstiness, and daring the winter the winds from Old Neptune sweep across the island with a fury and keenness against which the thickest of garments offer but poor and inadequate protection. Another insur mountable obstacle is the entire absence of fresh water, so important for drinking and culinary pur poses. Every drop used by our troops has been carried from Nowhere, a source to which the Yan kees cannot possibly resort. A gentleman now in this city, who visited Port Hatteras last Tuesday, two weeks since, informs us that it was scientifically arranged and substantially built. The timbers used were of the most massive and dnrable kind, and the whole was covered with earth to the thickness of twelve or more laches, and then turfed, the grass being already verdant and luxurious. The same gentleman informs us that there was an abundance of ammunition—pow der, shell, and solid shot—and that the mngazine, located between the fort and the shelter in the rear, was considered by skilful engineers as bomb-proof. If this be so, the wounded soldiers may have been mistaken ns to the explosion of the magazine. VALI.ANDIGIIAM IX A SCItArE. In Dayton, Ohio, a few days since, Vallandigham, the traitor, was presented with a little hill of fifty five cents for whisky, by one Sol. Herschelrode, grocer. Yal. attempted to repudiate, and even in timated to the grocer’s face that he was a scoun drel. Sol. demurred. Val. drew a six-shooter to enforce the allegation. Sol. drew another six shooter. Val. thereupon counted himself out in stantcr, and retreated to a millinery establishment, where he concealed himself until his foe had retired, go says tho Dayton Journal, now irkmont's uiioci.ajiatiox is iiechived is KENTUCKY Tho Louisville Democrat says: ‘‘The right to confiscate is undoubted, but the policy is more than questionable.

When tho negro property of Union men is confis cated by Secessionists, we can expect nothing else than that the generals of the United States army should feel at liberty to do the same. It does not affect the Union feeling either one way or the other in this State, and is rather regarded as an act to be expected in war than commended.” FROM RIt’IIMOXD. The Richmond Dispatch of the 29th says : At last accounts that have reached us Gen. Lee was, with a part of tho force under his command, not far from Iluttonsville, in Randolph county. The enemy, or part of the force under Uosecrans, was between him and that town, the distance between the camps of the opposing forces being eight or ten miles. Up to that time Gen. Lee had moved steadi ly, and the enemy had been receding before him after he had passed a defensible point on tho line between Pocahontas and Randolph. It will be re membered that llosccrans endeavored to get posses sion of that point when he heard of the approach of our army; but Gen. Lee got ahead of him, and oc cupied it but a little while before he oould reaoh it. HEALTH OP TIIK GEORGIA TROOPS IS VIRGINIA, A letter from Monterey, Ya., to the Atlanta (Ga.)

Gibbs was arrested, and is ROW stroDgly guarded. The correct statement of the affair is that Joyce and a number of meD, who had just returned from a tedious scout, were ordered to work on the en trenchments. They refused, and, during the dis pute which followed, Gibbs drew a pistol and de liberately murdered the sergeant. DISGRACEFUL AFFAIR IN INDIANA. We learn from the IndianapolU'sf«f«te/. of the 30th, that on the 28th ultimo a crowd of Indiana troops made an attack on a house of unenviable re putation, in that city, and after putting the inmates to flight, began the work of demolition. Feather beds were ripped open, queensware was smashed, and carpets, tables, looking-glasses, bureaus, and the like, torn and splintered into fragments. At one time the house was fired, but citizens on the ground, fearful of danger to adjoining property, succeeded in extinguishing the flames. The affair originated in the refusal of the proprietress of the house to perm it one of the troops to enter it.

Neosho, Sept. 2. —A report was brought here last evening, by three cavalrymen belonging to Capt. McFall’s company, that a party or Home Guards near the headwaters of the Meramec had been attacked and routed with great slaughter. The report was confirmed by the arrival, late in the evening, of Lieutenant Chandler, the comman der of the Home Guards. The attack was made after dark, Saturday evening, at a place called “ Bennett’s Mill,” which was occupied by about 70 Home Guards, and the surprise was complete. The Secessionists numbered from 400 to 500, and it is supposed by people here, were commanded by Schnnbles. Three of the Home Guards were cer tainly killed, besides some of the pickets, bat how many more was not known, as the escape was sud den. Lieut. Chandler was wounded in the arm, but had the satisfaction of killing the man who wounded him, The lieutenant came twenty-five miles on foot to this place, with three of his companions. Bennett’s Mill is about that distance from Kolia, in a southeast direction, and about the same distance from Cuba station. It is a half dezen miles east of Salem, and in Dent county. The night before the attack, the Home Guards, with three of Capt. McFall's men, had taken eigh teen prisoners and killed two of the rebels. These prisoners were liberated by the dispersion of the Home Guards at Bennett’s mill. One hundred ca valry, under Captains McFall and Bowen, have gone down to the scene of the fight. rliOM caiWFona county, mo.
