Several acres of playgrounds are attached to the Semi
nary, and healthy physical development, especially in
delicate boys, receives great attention. Abstinence from
vicious habit?, kindliness and purity of intercourse
among the pupils nre insured by the constant presence of
teacher?, encouraging them both in their sports and their
etudieß. Batin, Greek, and Mathematics, together with
the English branches, and French, are thoroughly
taught. In short, every effort is made to give the pupils
a fourfold and complete education.
THE TERMS,
FOR A PERIOD OF FIVE MONTHS, COMMENCING AT TUB
TIME OF ADMISSION, ARE*.
Tor permanent Boarding Pupils
Tor Pupils who spend Saturday and Sunday at homo 100
For Day-boarding Pupils, who spend tho nights atj
home 76
Washing, $B. No extra charges. Payments in advance.
As pupils who come under the influence of tho Semi
nary at an early age are educated with the least trouble,
a reduction in the terms of $25 per session will be made
during the entire course of each permanent bourding
pupil who is entered under nine years of age. Those
who are not entered before they are seventeen years of
age will pay an extra sum of $25 per session. This ad
vance is not made in the case of those who become mem
bers cf the Seminary before reaching that age.
A large reduction is made in favor of young men who

Geo. 11. Bolter's Patriotic Poem on the
Battle of Bull Run.
From the North American of yestesrday, we
copy the following fine and thoughtful and
patriotic poem. Tho great merit of this pre
diction is that it enters into the morale ot tho
Contest and forcibly invokes the spirit of the
Republican struggle, which, two centuries ago,
secured for England the inestimable blessing
of Constitutional Government, Tins is tho
best, because the most truthful, of ail the
war-poems of 18G1 :
UPON TIIE lIILL BEFORE CENTREVILLE.
[July 21st, 1861.]
I’ll toll you what I heard that day,
I heard tho great guns far away,
Boom after boom. Their sullen sound
Shook all the shuddoring air around, ,
And shook, ah me 1 my shrinking ear, .
And downward shook the hanging tear'
That, in despite of manhood’s pride,
Rolled o’er my face a scalding tide.
And then I prayed. O God! I prayed ■
As never stricken saint, who laid
His hot cheek to the holy tomb
Of Jesus, in the midnight gloom.
What saw I?” Little. Clouds of diiM;
Groat squares of men, with standard^thirst
Against their course; dense columns crMaMi l ''
With billowing Eteel. Then, bound on bojmd, ■
The long black lines of cannon poured
Behind the horses, streaked and gored '
With sweaty speed. Anon shot by, j • ■ >•
Like a lono meteor of the sky, t-
A single horseman; and he shone
Bis bright face on me, and was gone.
All these, with rolling drums, with cheers,
With songs familiar to my ears, '*
Passed under the far hanging cloud,
And vanished; and my heart was proud t
For mile on mile the line of war
Extended; and a steady roar,
As of some distant stormy sea,
On the south-wind came up to me.
And high in air, and over all,
Grew, like a fog, that murky pail,
Beneath whose gloom of dusty smoke
The cannon flamed, the bombshell broke,
And the sharp rattling volley rang,
And shrapnell roared, and bullets sang,
And fierce-eyed men, with panting breath,
Toiled onward at the work of death.
I could not see, but knew, too well
That underneath that cloud of hell,
Which still grow more by great degrees,
Man strove with man in deeds like these.
But when the sun had passed his stand
At noon, behold! on every hand
The dark brown vapor backward bore,
And fainter came the dreadful roar
From the huge sea of striving men.
Thus spoke my rising spirit then:
“ Take comfort from that dying sound,
Faint heart, the foe is giving ground ! ’ ’
And one, who taxed his horse's powers,
Filing at me, “Ho ! the day is ours
And scoured along. So swift his pace'
I took no memory of his face.
Then turned I once again to Heaven;
All things appeared so just and even;
So clearly from the highest Cause
Traced I the downward-working laws—
Those moral springs, made evident
In the grand, triumph-crowned event.
. So half I shouted and half sang,
Like Jcphtha’s daughter, to the clang
Of my spread, cymbal-striking palms,
Some fragments of thanksgiving psalms.
Meanwhile a solemn stillness fell
Upon the land. O’er hill and dell
Failed every sound. My heart stood still,
Waiting before some coming ill.
Tho silence was more sad and dread,
Under that canopy of lead,
Than the wild. tumult of the war
That raged a little while before.
All Nature in her work ef death
Paused for one last, despairing breath;
And cowering to the earth, I drew
From her strong breast my strength anew.
When I arose, I wondering saw
Another dusty vapor draw,
From the far right, its sluggish way
Towards the main cloud, that frowning lay
Against the westward sloping sun;
And all the war was rebegun,
Ere this fresh marvel of my sense
Caught from my mind significance.
And then—why ask me ? Oh! my God!
Would I had lain beneath the sod,
A patient clod, for many a day,
And from my bones and mouldering clay
The rank field-grass and flowers had sprung,
Ere the base sight, that struck and stung
My very sofil, confronted me; - ’
Shamed at my own humanity. " ' '
O happy dead, who early fell,
Ye have no wretched tale to tell
Of causeless fear and coward flight,
Of victory snatched beneath your sight,
Of martial strength and honor lost.
Of mere life bought at any cost,
Of the deep, lingering mark of shame,
Forever scorched on brow and name,
That no new deeds, however bright,
Shall banish from men’s loathful eight!
Ye perished in your conscious prided
Ere this vile scandal opened wide
A wound that cannot close nor heal;
Ye perished steel to levelled steel,
Stem votaries of the God of war,
Filled with his godhead to the core!
Ye died to live; these lived to die
Beneath the scorn of every eye:
How eloquent your voices sound
Prom the low chambers underground!
How clear each separate title burns
From your high-set and laurelled urns!
While these, who walk about the earth,
Are blushing at their very birth;
And though they talk, and go and come,
Their moving lips are worse than dumb.
Ye sleep beneath the valley’s dew,
And all the nation mourns for you;
So sleep, till God shall wake the lands!
For angels, armed with fiery brands,
Await to take you by the hands.
The right hand vapor broader grew ;
It rose, and joined itself unto
The main cloud with a sudden dash.
Loud and more near the cannon’s crash
Came towards me, and I heard a sound
As if all hell had broken bound—
A cry of agony and fear.
Still the dark vapor rolled more near,
Till at my very feet it tossed
The vanward fragments of our host.
Can man, Thy image, sink so low,
Thou who hast bent Thy tinted bow
[ Across the storm and raging main;
Whose laws both loosen and restrain
The powers of earth; without whose will
No sparrow’s little life ie still?
Was fear of hell, or want of faith.
Or the brute’s common dread of death
The passion that began a ohase
Whose goal was ruin and disgrace?
What tongue the fearful sight may tell ?
What horrid nightmare ever fell
Upon the restless sleep of crime—
What history of another time—
What dismal vision, daTkly seen
By the stern-featured Florentine,
Can give a hint to dimly draw
The Ukeness of the scene'l saw ?
Isaw, yet saw not. In that sea,
That chaos of humanity, ,
No more the eye conld catch and keep
A single point, than on thd'deop
The eye may mark a single wave
Where hurrying myriads leap and rave.
Men of all arms and all costumes,
Bare-headed, decked with broken plumes;
Soldiers and officers, and those
Who wore but civil-suitcd clothes;
On foot or mounted—some bestrode
Steeds severed from their harnessed load;
Wild mobs of white-topped wagons, cars
Of wounded, red with bleeding scars;
The whole grim panoply of war
Surged on me with a deafening roar!
All shades of fear, disfiguring man,
Glared through their faces’ brazen tan.
Not one a moment paused, or stood
To see what enemy pursued.
With shrieks of fear and yells of pain,
With every muscle on the strain,
Onward the struggling masses bore.
Oh! had the foemen lain before,
They’d trampled them to dust and gore,
And swept their lines and batteries
As autumn sweeps the windy trees!
Here one cast forth his wounded friend,
And with his sword or musket end
Urged on the horses; there one trod
Upon the likeness of his God
As if ’twere dust; a coward here
Grew valiant with Jiis very fear,
And struck his weaker comrade prone,
And struggled to the front alone.
All had one purpose, one sole aim,
That mocked the decency of shame,
To fly, by any means to fly;
They eared not how, they asked not why.
I found a voice. My burning blood
Flamed up. Upon a mound I stood;
I could no more restrain my voice
Than could the prophet of God’s choice.
“ Back, animated dirt!” I cried,
“ Back, on your wretched lives, and hide
Your shame beneath your native clay !
Or, if the foe affrights you, slay
Your own base selves; and, dying, leave
Your children’s tearful cheeks to grieve,
Not quail and blush, ifhen you shall come,
Alive, to their degraded home!
Your wives will look askance with scorn;
Your boys, and infants yet unborn,
Will curse you to God’s holy face!
Heaven holds no pardon in its grace
For cowards. Oh! such as ye
Tho guardians of our liberty?
Back, if one trace of manhood still
May horve your arm and brace your will!
You stain your country in the eyes
Of Europe and her empiries!
The despots laugh, the peoples groan,
Man’s cause is lost and overthrown!
T curse you, by the sacred blood
That freely poured its purple flood
Down Bunker’s heights, on Monmouth’s plain,
From Georgia to tne rocks of Maine !
I curse you, by the patriot band
Whoee bones are crumbling in the land !
By those who saved what these had won!
In tho high nemo of Washington
Then I remember little more.
As the tide's rising waves, that pour
Over some low and rounded rook,
The coming mass, with one great shock.
Flowed, over the shelter of my mound,
And raised me helpless from the ground.
As the huge shouldering billows bear,
Half in the sea and half in air,
A swimmer on their fonming crest,
So the foul throng beneath me pressed,
Swept me along with curse and mow,
And flung me where, I ne’er shall know.
When I awoke, a steady rain
Made rivulets across the plain;
And it was dork —oh! very dark.
I was so stunned as scarce to mark
The ghostly figures of the trees,
Or hear the sobbing of the breeze
That flung the wet leaves to and fro.
Upon me lay a dismal woe,
A boundless superhuman grief
That drew no promise of relief
From any hope. Then I arose,
As ono who struggles up from blows
By unseen hands ; and, as 1 stood
Alone, I thought that God was good,
To bide, in clouds and driving rain,
Our low world from the angel train
Whose souls filled heroes when the earth
Was worthy of their noble birth.
By that dull instinct of the mind
Which leads aright the helpless blind,
I struggled onward, till the dawn
Across the eastern clouds had drawn
A narrow line of watery gray;
And full before my vision lay
The great dome’s gaunt and naked bones
Beneath whose crown the nation thrones
Her queenly person. On I stoic,
IVith nanging head and abject soul,
Across the high embattled ridge,
And o’er the arches of the briago.
So fleshly pricked my sharp disgrace,
I feared to meet the human face.
Skulking, as any woman might
Who’d lost her virtue in the night,
And sees the dreadful glare of day
Prepare to light her homeward way,
Alone, heart-broken, shamed, undone,
I staggered into Washington:
Since then long sluggish days have passed,
And on the wings of every blast
Have come the distant nations’ sneers
To tingle in our blushing cars.
In woe and ashes, as was meet,
-We wore the penitential sheet.
But now I breathe a purer air,
And from the depths of my despair
Awaken to a cheering morn,
Just breaking through the night forlorn,
A morn of hopeful victory.
Awake, my countrymen, with me !
Redeem the honor which you lost,
With any blood, at any cost 1
I ask not how the war began,
Nor how the quarrel branched and ran
To this dread height. The wrong or right
Stands clear before God’s faultless sight.
I only feel tho shameful blow,
I only see the scornful foe,
Aud vengeance burns in every vein
-To die, or wipe away the stain.
The war-wise hero of the West,
Wearing his glories as a crest
Of trophies gathered in your sight,
Is arming for the coming fight.
Full well his wisdom apprehends
The duty and Its mighty ends ;
The great occasion of the hour,
That never lay inhuman power
Since over Yorktown’s tented plain
The red ctoes fell, nor rose again.
My humble pledge of faith I lay,
Dear comrade ot my school-boy day,
Before thee, in the nation’s view;
And if thy prophet prove untrue,
And from our country’s grasp be thrown
The sceptre and the starry crown,
And thou and all thy marshalled host
He baffled, and in ruin lost j
Oh 1 let me not outlive the blow
That seals my country’s overthrow !
And, lest this woful end come true,
Men of the North, I turn to you.
Display your vaunted flag once more,
Southward your eager columns pour !
Sound trump aud fife and rallying, drum;
From every hill and valley come „
Old men, yield up your treasured gold;
Can liberty be priced and sold ?
Fair matrons, maids, and tender brides,
Gird weapons to your lover’s sides:
And, though your hearts break at the deed,
Give them your blessing and God speed;
Then point them to the field of fame,
With words like those of Sparta's dame.
And when the ranks are full and strong,
And the whole army moves along,
A vast result of care and skill,
Obedient to the master’s will;
And your young hero draws the sword,
And gives tho last commanding word
That hurls your strength upon the foe —
Oh! let them need no second blow.
Strike, as your fathers struck ot old,
Through summer’s heat and winter’s cold;
Through pain, disaster, and defeat;
Through marches tracked with bloody feet;
Through every ill that could befall
The holy cause that bound them all!
Strike as they struck for liberty!
Strike ns they struck to make you free!
Strike for the crown of victory!

The Kingston Chronicle , which claims to repre
sent the sentiment of a large portion of the Cana
dian people.-speaks of our -national loan as having
“ hung fire,” and adds “ the masses have no faith
in it, and will not touch it-.”' Such contemptuous
(and we may add contemptible) language as tins
betrays either a wolul ignorance ur cue American
character, or a wilful desire to pervert the plainest
ihqts of the case. In either view of the matter, it
is a gross libel upon our patriotic masses, who have
come forward nobly in response to the appeal of the
Secretary of the Treasury. In Philadelphia, New
York, Boston, Cincinnati, and St. Louis, where
books have been opened, it is the whole body of the
people—not the capitalists merely; not merely the
banking corporations, but the people, patriotic,
self-reliant, aud trustful for the future of their
country—who have been first to lend their aid to
the Government in this the darkest hour of its
trial.

The following stirring call for a Union meeting
in Old BeiL: has recently been issued, with the
names of a number of tho best citizens of the
county appended to it:
Whilst thousands of our friends and neighbors
have laid aside all party differences, and have gone
to defend our capital and sustain our Government
on the battle-field, we who remain, and who are
called to exercise our sovereignty at the approach
ing election, imitating the patriotic example of our
soldiers, will lay all our political differences, on the
altar of our common country, and hoisting the flag
of the Union, desecrated at Fort Sumpter, will
unite in selecting our civU officers without regard
to former party ties. No other politics shall have
a place in our minds and hearts but the love of
country, and, Union for the sake of the Union.
We will go to the polls as brethren, in like manner
as our volunteers (God -bless them!) go to battle)
and as they, for their lives and country’s sake,
select for their officers those who are best qualified
for command, se lot us elect to civil office those who
are best qualified to discharge its duties— -firm, de
cided patriots !—and for this purpose we invite all
our fellow-citizens, without regard to party, to
meet at the court house in Reading, on Saturday,
the 14th of September next, at one o’clock P. M.,
to consult together upon the proper course to be
taken to secure the unbiased voioo of tho people of
Berks on the side of the Union of these States. Let
our motto and our watchword ever be, “Liberty
find Union, now and forever, one and inseparable

The arrangements for the transmission of
news by Cape Race are now so complete that not
only are the steamers arriving from Europe regu
larly boarded by the newspaper agent, but the out
ward-bound steamers are also communicated with
at the same point, so as to convey to them the latest
telegraphic intelligence from New York and Bos
ton. This makes Cape Race a sort of half-way
station on the Atlantic, and diminishes the actual

about a third.
Cotton-Growing.
(For The Press.)
■ Noticing Dr. Reinhardt’s letter on the subject of
cotton-growing in tho “ Minas Goraes,” Brazil, it
occurred to me that some of your readers who have
net ready access to the accounts of Lientonante
Herndon and Gibbons would feel interested in
what is there said on the subject of cotton-growing
in Eastern Peru and Bolivia. Cotton maybe plant
ed at any time. It does not grow on a hush, or
plant, as with us, but on a tree some eight or ten
feet high. It gives its first crop in a year, and
will continue to give for three years, after which
the tree dries up, and it is necessary to replant.
It bears cotton all the time j bat this is not good, or
gathered during the rainy season. I could not as
certain how much cotton a tree will give in its
lifetime, but, from the quantity of blossoms and
bolls I saw on them, I should think its yield was
gTeat. The quality, particularly that of Cliun
chumayo, is very superior. It is the black-seed
cotton, and when picked off leaves the seed per
fectly bare and clean.
There is also nankoon-eolored cotton here, the
tree seeming in every respect like that of the white.
An active man will pick ono hundred pounds of
cotton in a day.
This was written at Tarma, in Eastern Peru, at
an elevation of more than nine thousand foet.
Yours, respectfully,
Wm. Dewey, 917 Lombard street.
Letter from Lake Superior.
[Correspondence of The Prew».)
Lake Superior, )
Eagle Harbor, Sept. 2,1861. J
Mr. Editor: The following incident of
the travels of the French Prince, who is
now on a visit to this part of the conntry, may
be interesting to some of your readers, and
perhaps give an inkling of the feelings of that
“ august personage” towards this country in
tho present crisis. 1 copy it from the Mining
Register of Friday last:
As the distinguished celebrities wished to
visit the Copper Falls and Cliff Mines, it was
necessary to find some mode of conveyance,
and ns horses and carriages arc somewhat rare
in these parts, besides being decidedly dilapi
dated, the Prince and retinue were compelled
to go over the rocks and hills in two very or
dinary one-horse “ dimercratie wagons,” and
as the horses were of that very erratic kind,
called 2.4 o—especially when on a rough por
tion of the road—the imperial party undoubt
edly had their imperial dinners well settled ere
they had passed over the first two miles of tho
route.
Arrived at tlie foot of Copper Falls Hill, the
beast attached to tho Prince’s wagon, not
having reverence forroyalty, came to a dead
halt, (one not laid down in the French ca
valry tactics.) and no imperial word of com
mand could induce him to go on ; accordingly,
his Highness and party had to get out and as
sist in “ boosting ” the wagon up the hill,
which they all appeared to think decidedly
funny, and really enjoyed in tlie highest de
gree' of French humor. At the top of this
hill, an elevation of about 1,000 feet, a mag
nificent view of Lake Superior and the sur
rounding country is had j and the Prince is
said to have exclaimed that “It was worth
half a dozen trips to the Rhine, as only a
morsel of the Rhine, with all its reputation,
is worth going to look at, and that lies be
tween its junction with the picturesque Mo
selle, at Coblinz, and the small town of Bin
gen.” In tho absence of Captain lYren, the
clerk at Copper Falls, Mr. Burnham acted as
the cicerone of the party, showing them all
the notables about the location. While re
turning from the stamp mill, the Prince pro
posed to drink (it being quite warm) from a
spring by the wayside, and, taking an empty
powder can, used by the miners for the pur
pose, he drank —« The land of Washington
one and inseparable.” The compliment was
handsomely returned by Mr. Burnham, in
“France —the friend of America,” which
was received by the whole party with much
enthusiasm. The time being limited, the
party made a very short visit to the cliff,
where they were entertained in true republi
can style, and returned to Eagle river, taking
the boat for Bayfield.
Yours truly,
Arrest of James IV Wall.
[Correspondence of Tho Press.)
Burlington, Sept. 11, P. M.
The arrest of Mr. James W. Wall, this af
ternoon, was only accomplished by force.
The mayor accompanied the U. S. marshal to
Mr. Wall’s house, and they had a private in
terview. When tiie arrest was made by the
imtrolwfcl,-it.-Mr. "Wall’s office, Mr. Wall said lie
would not be taken, and defied both the mar
shal and mayor to take him, and threatened
to shoot any one who made the attempt.
Every effort was made to take him peaceably,

Union Meeting in New Jersey.
(Correspondence of Tlie Prose.]
May’s Landing, Sept. 11,18G1.
In pursuance of a call, a meeting of the citi
zens of Atlantic county was held in the Court
House on Tuesday evening last, for the pur
pose of testifying tlieir fealty' to the Govern
ment. Addresses of an appropriate and
stirring character were delivered by Hon. J.
T. Nixon and others, and received with every
expression of approval. After a few plain and
thoughtful remarks by Rev. Mr. Owen, of
May’s Landing, the meeting adjourned with
cheers. Little Giant.
Girls’ High School.
[For The Frees, j
There is so much written and printed with
so little apparent effect, that one shrinks from
putting his thoughts to paper. If lam per
mitted to use any portion of your columns, to
give some slight expression to what I con
ceive to be productive of immense evil to a
class of persons which suspicion ought not to
rest upon, you have my thanks. I allude par
ticularly to the Girls’ High School. It ap
pears in the last examination of scholars, pre
sented from the different schools, that the
teachers as well os the scholars were dissa
tisfied with the averages given many of the
scholars. Some scholars who did not expect,
neither had their teachers any hope of their
obtaining an average succeeded, while others,
who were proverbially acknowledged excellent
scholars, studious, and every way qualified for
advancement, were rejected. Some of the
teachers called for the papers for a re-exami
nation, but did not receive them; they were
promised that the papers should be re-ex
amined. Some of the papers (how many we
know not) were probably re-examined, as
quite a number of scholars who wore first re
jected have since been admitted. 'Where
does the fault lie ? Who examine the papers ?
Are they competent ? Whatever the causes,
it utterly destroys all confidence in sucli ex
aminations as well as tlie school.
The teachers, the directors, should insist on
having this matter looked into. Whoever lias
been guilty of returning incorrect averages
should be removed at once. In all future exa
minations it should he understood that any
school that shall send scholars for examination
Should bo entitled to have returned to them the
papers containing said examination. Rely
upon it, once encourage a system of this kind,
all future knowledge based upon that, only de
moralizes and corrupts, instead of elevating,
expanding, and ennobling, as it should. Our
daughters, to be taught by, aud subject to, such
influences, better that such a school never
existed.
From British Honduras. —Wc have dates
from Belize to the 21st ult. The plantations were
flooded to a great extent, in consequence of the
prevalence of heavy rain, accompanied by Bevere
gales of wind. Tho growing crops were greatly
damaged, and sugar and rum very scarce. The
swollen state of the rivers had, however, liberated
immense quantities of mahogany, and wood, which
had been laid back high and dry for years, and had
thus come to market, the cutters being compensated
as the planters were injured. Logwood—which will
not float—was laid under water in large bulk, and
had gone up to §l5 in consequence. Sarsaparilla
was dull, and the trade in cochineal, indigo, and
hides nearly at an end. Business in Belize was
very heavy, and money scarce. Exchange on the
United States was not to be had, even at from ten
to fifteen per cent, premium.
Captain Montgomery’s New Regiment.—
The patriotio work undertaken by Capt. James E.
Montgomery, of recruiting a regiment of respecta
ble young mentfor immediate service, promises to
bo attended with the most oompleto success. A
large number of very worthy men, among whom
are numerous mechanics, clerks, salesmen, de.,
have already brought themselves together and will
enrol their names as soon as the books are oponed.
Those who desire to serve their country in conge
nial company have a fair opportunity afforded them
of joining this regiment—the equal of which has
not yet left for the seat of war. By reference to
another column it will be seen that a mooting is
called for to-morrow night at the county court
bouse. A number of distinguished gentlemen will
address the meeting and state the various benefits
to be derived by joining this regiment. The or
ganization is to be only ten days in forming; at tho
end of that time, whether complete or not, they will
proceed at once to Washington. As this will be a
crack regiment, we feel confident in saying that
the full complement of men will be obtained in one
half «at time. Capt. Gibson, of the regular army,
is to be the colonel. The remainder of the officers
arc to be men who Bre well versed iu cnlitflry tBC*
tics and have seen active service.
THE FIGHT AT bEWINSVILI.E—FURTHER PARTICC-
Washington", Sept. ll. —ln accordance with
orders from General McClellan, this morning Gene
ral Smith, commanding the advance brigade on the
south side of the Potomac, near the Chain Bridge,
directed a topographical reconnoissance in force to
be made in the direction of Lewinsville.
The reconnoitring party consisted of the Seven
ty-ninth New York Volunteers, Third Vermont
Volunteers, a battalion of the Nineteenth Indiana
Volunteers; a battalion of the First United States
Chasseurs, under Lieutenant Colonel Alexander P.
Shaler; two sections (four pieces) of the West
Point battery, Captain Griffin; fifty men of Com
pany H, Fifth United States Cavalry, Lieutenant
McLanc commanding, and one company of Young’s
cavalry—the whole under command of Colonel
Isaac J. Stevens, acting brigadier genoral. The
scientific corps was in charge of Lieutenant Orlando
M. Poo, United States Topographioal Engineers,
assisted by Lieutenant West, of the United States
Coast Survey, who were to conduct the recon
noissancc.
The reconnoitring party left Camp Advance
about seven A. M., and proceeded, without molesta
tion, to Lewinsville, a distance of four or five miles,
reaching that point at half past ten A. M., just in
time to get a sight of the heels ef a rebel cavalry
picket, about fifty strong, which evacuated the vil
lage, and retreated in the direction of Falls Church,
without firing a shot.
After the arrival of our troops in Lewinsville,
cavalry and infantry pickets were thrown out on
all the diverging roads and prominent places for a
distance of half a mile. Scouting parties were
also Eent out to observe the movements of the re
bels, should any be attempted.
At about eleven o’clock, a large body of rebel ca
valry were seen in the distance, watching the
movements of our truopr. Tfiey.dM'loot come
within cannon or musket range, and therefore their
appearance did not interfere with the operation of
the reconnoitring party.
At naif past two o’clock the reconnoissance was
completed, and orders given to recall, the pickets,
preparatory to returning to Camp Advance. All the
pickets responded to the recall except a picket of the
Third Vermont and onefromthc Nineteenth Indiana
regiment. Col. Stevens sent a detachment out to
learn the reason of their detention and subsequent
ly learned that they were watching the advance of
a column of the enemy, consisting of seven hundred
cavalry, two regiments of infantry, and four pieces
of artillery, who were coming from the direction of
Fails Church.
Little or no attention was paid to the rebel ad
vance, as the objects of the expedition had been ac
complished, and our troops had proceeded but a few
rods on their return home when the enemy’s bat
tery which by this time had attained a position
within three-fourths of a mile of our troops, opened
a rapid cannonade on our forces with shot and shell.
The firing was kept up for ten minutes, when a sec
tion of Captain Griffin’s battery, consisting of two ten
pounder rilled cannons, was immediately placed in
position, returning briskly the fire of the enemy
Simultaneously with the rebel cannonade, they
opened a fire of musketry, from behind trees and
other places of concealment, while our troops were
formed ia line of battle, with orders not to fire
unless the enemy came out of their hiding places.
The cannonading now became general, and con
tinued for fifteen or twenty minutes, when Briga
dier General Smith arrived on the ground, having
come out from his camp post haste, unattended by
an escort. He ordered some important changes in
the position of our forces, expecting a general en
gagement-
while the cannonade was in full progress. Cap
tain Thadeus Mott, who, when the firing was first
heard, was drilling his company at Langley, four
miles from the battle-ground, arrived on the
ground with a section of artillery, consisting of one
large bronze thirty-two-poundcr howitzer and one
ten-pounder Parrot gun. Ho took a prominent
position, commanding the enemy’s battery, opened
fire from his howitzers, and fired but three shells
each, one striking in the midst of the rebels, and
completely silencing their battery. First Lieu
tenant George A, Kensel, of Griffin’s battery, wbo
was in reserve at camp, arrived with another section
of artillery simultaneously with Mott's battery,
and be also opened on the enemy.
The rebels, thus seeing themselves overmatched,
retreated from the field to the music of the Union
batteries, which continued for ten minutes after
the rebel battery had ceased.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Times says:
The force of marines which left yesterday in the
cars was to arrest Capt. Dove, of the sloop-of-war
Pocahontas . The arrest was accomplished, and
Capt. Dove brought to the navy yard, where he is
now confined on the Philadelphia. The occasion
of his arrest was a suspicion that certain visits he
had made to Virginiareecntly were to give informa
tion to the rebels.
Colonel Delafield (U. S. Corps of Engineers) has
written to Governor Morgan on this subject. He
says:
“ Copper.”
For your information, I have now the satisfaction
of stating that Major Wainwright will at once
mount at Fort Richmond, 56 guns; in Battery
Hudson, 51 guns; in Fort Wood, 51 guns; in Fort
Schuyler, 47 guns; and in the new work partially
finished at Sandy llook, 37 guns—making a total of
212 guns that are to be immediately mounted for
the defence of the channels leading to this city,
which is in addition to the existing armaments
heretofore mounted in other water batteries bearing
on tlic came channels.
■While the Hrmament ot the rora is in
the War Department is also giving its attention to
the construction of additional casemated water bat
teries and land defences contiguous and adjacent
to the existing forts, on which additional guns will
be mounted. At the present moment, I nave 257
mechanics and laborers employed on the works at
the Narrows, and Captain Foster, of the Corps of
Engineers, has a large force at work under his su
pervision on those at Sandy Hook.
General McClellan, in an official communication
to the War Department, in' 1850, containing sugges
tions for the improvement of the army, urged “ the
propriety of inscribing upon the colors of each re
giment the names of the actions in which it has
borne an honorable part.” “ Few things,” said the
present commander of the army of the Potomac,
“ are more important than those which tend to in
spire and preserve a feeling of pride in the regi
ments on the part of all the officers and men.”
Says the Louisville Journal , woe to the man
who gives any countenance to the introduction of
the Thugism of Secession among the indomitable
people of Kentucky. Their renown for warlike
qualities was not won without reason, and will not
be thrown away.
The commission accredited by the Governor of
Tennessee to Governor Magoffin, for the purpose of
promotingfriendly relations between the two States,
say in their message :
The undersigned, yesterday, received a verbal
message, through a messenger, from Governor
Harris. The message was, that he, Governor H.,
had, by telegraphic despatch, requested General
Polk to withdraw the Confederate troops from
Kentucky, and that General Polk had declined to
do so; that Governor Harris then telegraphed to
Secretary Walker, at Bichmoud, requesting that
General Polk be ordered to withdraw his troops
from Kentucky, and that such order was issued
from the war department of the Confederacy; that
General Polk replied to the war department that
the retention of the post was a military necessity,
and that the retiring from it would be attended by
the loss of many lives. This embraces the mes
sage received.
The messenger, it is true, in conversation, said
that he had heard in Nashville that Secretary
Walker had sent a despatch to General Buckner,
giving General Polk a discretion to hold or with
draw from the occupation of the post in Kentucky.
SOUTHERN NEWS.
A correspondent, writing from Cincinnati under
date of Sept. 9th, says:
A young man, formerly a student of Antioch Col
lege, and who has of late been teaching at Gretna,
a village across the river from New Orleans, arrived
here to-day, haying left New Orleans on Wednes
day morning last. He availed himself of his British
birth to get through. He seems to think that there
is more Union feeling in New Orleans than is gene
rally imagined, and says that the Unionists are
alarming the city by their strong though secret ma
nifestations. Two days before he left, the custom
house was barely saved from being blown up by a
skilfully laid barrel of comphene. The man who
planned the matter was taken, and all mention of
the affair suppressed by the newspapers, because of
the peculiar suggestiveness of the method. The
Germans, he states, are constantly watched, and
not considered at heart loyal. Lately a company
of 63 Germans deserted, and ran toward the Bayou,
and very nearly succeeded in reaching the United
States squadron. They were overtaken and im
prisoned. They assigned ns their reason that the
French placed on them all the heavy work of the
camp; but it was generally believed that the Teu
tons; regard ail work as heavy that is done for
the Southern Confederacy.
Jeff Davis is not dead yet. My informant says
that General Memminger has been seriously ill
lately, and thinks if the flags of the enemy have
been seen at half mast that it may be for his death.
He says it is almost impossible to get news, a
Masonic system prevailing among officials, and the
people left to their own conjectures.
The sensation produced by Fremont’s procla
mation was tremendous, and threats against Gene
ral F.’s life were numerous and loud. No incident
of the war has sent such terror through their hearts,
and already the difficulties in the way of men leav
ing their homes, if they happen to be in reach of
Missouri lines to enter the army, are felt. My in
formant states that in some parishes of Louisiana
there aro now only about three whites to one hun
dred slaves left, and that a proclamation of emanci
pation by the Government would immediately dis
band the entire Southern forces, and pin every
white man to his home instantly. There is not
enough risk of insurrection to keep men from leav
ing home, a very few watchful and completely
armed men being suflicient to prevent conspiracy
and collusion among the negroes for any purpose ;
but a proclamation of freedom to eaih who may
reach tne shadow of the United States flag is what
the Confederates most fear, and what would re
solve the whole Southern army into a home guard-
A man in La Crosse, Wisconsin, a few (lavs
ago, rushed to the river, swearing that he would
drown himself. When he had waded into the
depth of bis waist, his wife seized him by the hair,
and then, as a local editor describes it, she “led
bim bock till tbeyroacbed a place whore the water
was about two feet deep, where she palled him
over backwards, soused him under, and pulled his
head up again. ‘ Drown yourself—(down he-went)
—leave me to father the brats!—(another plunge)
—get drunk!—(another souse) —and start for the
river!—(another dip)—l’ll larn ye to leave me a
widow, and all the men at the war! 1 After soz
zling him to her heart’s content, she led him into
the nouse and closed the door.”

The Pennsylvania Company for Insurance on
Lives and Granting Annuities have subscribed for
three hundred thousand dollars in tho new national
loan, and paid into the United States Treasury th,
whole amount, in gold. The example thus worthily
eet is what- might have been expected from this
staunch old corporation, and will stimulate many
others to follow it.
The American Bank Note Company have sent
seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars more of
the notes for the new loan to Washington, and will
send a million of dollars of the fire-thousand-dollar
notes forward on Saturday.
Thompson’s Haiti Note Reporter has the fol
lowing advice to buyers of treasury notes:
Dealers in treasury notes are beginning to hare
trouble with irregular and infernal orimamk.
Retttr refMe as fellows ;,.
1. All endorsements by power of attorney.
2. All notes made to a compnny or corporation,
and endorsed by an officer
8. All notes that have erasures of writing on the
back.
In relation to endorsements by power of attorney,
the Government will not aeknowedge them unless
the power is on file with the officer where the note
is offered. '
In relation to endorsements of notes made pay
able to a company or corporation, the Government
requires a certified copy of the resolution of the
bonrd of directors empowering such officer to en
dorse and dispose of such notes.
In relation to erasures, wc would observe that it
is very difficult to convince a buyor, or tho Govern
ment, that the erasure was not made to cover a
fraud.
In using notes for duties, the importer is required
to endorse them, thereby guarantying all endorse
ments. Dealers, in law, are liable if they pass any
kind of forgery or irregularity through their hands;
hence preference is given to notes with the payee's
name ODly on the back.
The New York Evening Post, has the following
remarks upon the money and stock markets in that
city to-day:
There is a very active inquiry for treasury notes
to-day, and larger subscriptions than on any pro.
vious day. Up to noon nearly half a million had
been taken at the Sub-Treasury, and additional ap
plications are fast potring in. Tho indications are
that the sales up to the close of business will exceed
by twenty-fire per cent, the amount taken yes
terday.
The applications by mnil are very heavy, and
from new sources entirely. The private subscrip
tions at the Sub-Treasury thus fur this week fo*t
up as follows :
M0nday........................5470,000
Tuesday .100,000
Wednesday 510,000
Thursday (estimated) 750,000
Total in four days..
This is within $375,000 of the whole of last week.
Mr. Chase is beginning to draw on the banks of
Boston and Philadelphia. The banks of the latter
city placed to his credit yesterday $500,000, being
10 per cent, of their quota of tho loan.
There was ail order received at the Sub-Trcft.vtiry
to-day for $5,000 of the demand notes. This appli
cation is from Massachusetts, and was sent net*
from Washington with instructions for filling it.
The specie reserve of the Sub-Treasuries of New
York, Boston, and Philadelphia is about $18,000,-
000. Including the amount in savings banks and
in course of coinage, the reserve of the three cities
exceeds $75,000,000.
The stock market is firmer to-day, but quiet.
There is a steady demand for Government secu
rities, and this imparts to the market a healthy ap
pearance.
There was considerable activity in the Westons
stocks. Toledo, Galena, and Rock Island were
steady at yesterday’s prices. New York Central
closes dull at 73j|a73h
Government stocks are without material change
in price. Tho bonds and G per cent, notes are firm
at yesterday’s quotations.
The straightforward action of the Kentucky Le
gislature has brought in buyersfor the bonds of the
State, Sales were made at 76, and finally 77, which
was bid for more. Teanessees wars also If pot
