PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1861. To take a highwayman for one’s hero was a venturous experiment, some thirty years ago; 1 when Ainsworth commenced writing. “ Rook wood." Before he had written two chapters of that curious book be was forestalled by Bulwer, who, in 1830, published “ Paul Clif ford,” a novel completely svi generis. It is a satirical and social book : in form, a bur lesque ; in essentials, a tragedy. Gav, in “ The Beggar’s Opera,” and Fielding, ln “ Jonathan Wild,” no doubt gave him the outline of the original idea—namely, to draw an ironical comparison between those whom society makes its idols, and those whom it exiles from its pale. But Gay and Fielding excluded the serious. They jestingly held vices up to the survey, but gave no bint how to redeem or reform them. Wit and humor enter largely into their compositions—which have no softening gleam or moral beauty. But, in “ Paul Clifford,” the travesty is con fined to the inferior characters, who group around the more prominent characters, as the chorus in the ancient drama, relieving the nar rative, or pointing the moral, not serving to the actual denouement. Towering above all Peacliums and Lockits, all Wilds and Bag.-' shots, stands the grave and solemn figure of William Brandon, the lawyer. Paul Clifford, the hero, soon rises above Macheatli—to be regarded as a man not to be banged, but as having a human soul to be saved. And, pure as a seraph is the Lucy drawn by Bulwer, when contrasted with the sensuons Polly of Gay’s musical satire. What Gay and Fielding prate : was-intended to tread 'convention H©wn j but Bulwer went beyond them in social philosophy, • for lie not only destroyed, but reconstructed. In a word, “ Panl Clifford” is a keen satire on Crime—most striking, where most grave, as William Brandon’s character—appealing to the conscience of communities to adjust our codes to the reform of criminals as well as to their punishment. The whole moral comes out in the quotation from John Wilkes, closing the book : “ The. worst use which you can put a man to is to hang him.” Undoubtedly, there was as settled a purpose in Bulwer’s mind, when composing “Paul Clifford,” to work out a practical moral lesson, as over was entertained by Dickens. On the contrary, Mr. Ainsworth never thinks of a mo ral. He composed “ Rookwood ”as he com posed “ Jack Sheppard,”—simply to make money by amusing the public. Not even in liis historical romances, numerous as they are, stretching from the reign of nenry VIII. to that of Anne, does he seem to have had in his mind a thought beyond making a readable book, which would sell well. When “ Rook wood ” appeared, in ISIIG. ho was almost thirty years old—having been born in 1805, in which year Bulwer, Disraeli, and George Sand also first saw the light. By 1834, Bulwer and Dis raeli had written themselves into fame. Bui wer had won the gold medal, at the University of Cambridge, for his poem on “ Sculpture,” and, after producing a volume of Poems, (very indifferent poems, too,) called “ Weeds and Wildflowers,” had successively produced “ Falkland“ Pelham“ The Disowned “ Deveveuxa poem entitled “ O’Neil, or the Rebel“ Paul Cliffordthe satirical poem “The Siamese Twins;” “Eugene Aram;” “Godolphin;” “ The Pilgrims of the Rhine;” “ England and the English“ The Conversa tions with an Ambitious Student,” and “ The Last Days of Pompeii.” Up to 1834, also, Disraeli had published “ Vivian Grey,” Contarini Fleming,” a prose poem; “ The Young Duke,” “ The Wondrous Talc of Alroy,” «The Rise of Iskander,” and “ The Revolutionary Epic.” If Bulwer and Disraeli were thus prolific, as authors, before they had reached the age of thirty, a far different record has to be made of their contemporary, Ainsworth, up to the same ago. At the ago of twenty-one ho pub lished a story called “ Sir John Chiverton,” in one small volume, which Scott noted down in his Diary as a clever book—in imitation of the days of chivalry.. Three years later lie edited a child’s annual, and (except we at tribute to him “ Seven Years of the King’s Thfeatrc, by John Ebers,” his father-in-law) published nothing else between 1828 and 1834, when “ Rookwood ” appeared. A strange, wild, weird fiction that book is. Ainsworth lias failed, we tliiuk, in his attempt to horrify and affright Ids readers, as Mrs. Radeliffedid with lier “Mysteries of Udolplio.” The Rookwood family, steeped in crime as they arc, aud wrapped round with horrors, are unnatural and revolting. We repeat, that Dick Turpin is the hero of the book—Dick and his friends. That Ride to York carries us for ward, with its graphic power of description, as rapidly as Black Bess carried the highway man himself. The manner iu which Ainsworth idealised the ruffians of flic highway, whose “ open se same !” to travellers’ purses and trunks was the simple mandate “ stand and deliver!” is amusing, because it is absurd. There was a knight of the road, in Turpin’s time, who is thus affectionately and admiringly sketched hv Ainsworth: JOHN H. STOKES’, 702 ARCH Street. SATURDAY, SEPT. 14, 1861. An Extinct Race. One of the lots lately put up to auction at a sale of “ genuine ” furniture, in Church-lane, Soho, London, was “ The skull of Dick Tur pin, under a glass case, many years in th'o Morley family of York.” This poor relic "of humanity sold for fourteen shillings—glass case and all, and the case was worth half the money. And so ended a great historical cha racter. Historical? Yes, as much so as. Jonathan Wild the Great, whose adveutures have been related by Fielding. One of the most popular romances of its day, and that day not remote, was “ Boolttvood,” written by William Harrison Ainsworth, and published iu 1834. The actual hero is Dick Turpin, the noted highwayman, who ride from London to York, on his famous mare Black Bess, in twelve hours—the distance being two hundred miles. Strange, that Ainsworth did not pur chase Turpin’s skull! Who knows? It may have been bought for him; if so, no doubt it grins, even as we write, on the top shelf of the library in Kensal Manor-House, where Ains worth lias lived ever since, ceasing to be a bookseller, (for some years he was a partner of Mr. Ebers, tlie London bibliopole,) lie finally settled down into a bookmaker. Yes, it is very likely that Ainsworth has obtained the skull of Dick Turpin. It is said that Bulwer possesses the skull of Eugene Aram, —a gen tleman who quitted the world one day, on a scaffold in front of York Castle, the very same place and pensile Lite which were reserved lor Mr. Turpin. Not happening to have a copy of the New gate Calendar, and his name being carelessly left out of the various biographical dictiona ries in our possession, we know no more of Dick Turpin than what common report lias made known—namely, that, at a time when travelling in old England was rather unsafe, lie was a knight of the road, vulgarly called a highwayman ; that he pursued this career for a long time with great success ; and that, as generally happened with gentlemen of his pro fession, he was tried, convicted, and ,hung in chains. —- “At the left of the table was seated, or rather lounged, a slender, elegant-looking young man, with dark, languid eyes, sallow complexion, and features wearing that peculiarly pensive expres sion often communicated by dissipation; an ex pression which, we regret to say, is sometimes found more pleasing than it ought to be in the eyes of the gentler sex. Habited in a light summer riding-dress, fashioned according to the taste of the time, but of plain and unpretending material, and rather under than over-dressed, he had, perhaps, on that very account, perfectly the air of a gentle man. There was, altogether, an absence of pre tension about him, which, combined with great ap parent self-possession, contrasted very forcibly with the vulgar assurance of his showy companions. The figure of the youth was slight, even to fragi lity, giving little outward manifestation of the vigor of frame ho in reality possessed. His features would havo been altogether effeminate, but for a pair of raven whiskers, with which his obeeks were shaded. To save the reader any speculation as to who this spark might be, we will at once acquaint him with his name and calling. He was ano less distinguished personage than• Tom King, a noted Tobyman of his time, who obtained, from his ap pearance and address, the sobriquet of the 1 Gen tleman Highwayman,’ ” This interesting gentleman eventually cheats the gallows, at Ivilburn Wells (close to Mr. Ainsworth’s residence), by being shot through the heart, by his friend Turpin, when in the act of being captured by the constables. Some of the most attractive features of “ Rookwood ” were the ballads and songs, written by Ainsworth, which may be said to abound in it,—especially in the latter editions. Among the graver and more impressive lyrics are “ The Sexton,” “ The Legend of the Lime-Tree-Branch,” and “ The Corpse-Can dle.” In a lighter : mood is the ballad of “ Black Bess,” in which Turpin eulogizes this famous steed. The slang-sdhgs are many and curious. It is recorded that, after read ing “Jenny Juniper's Cliaunt,” the chorus of which is “ Nix my doll palls, fake away,” (nothing comrades, —on, on,) a Newgate-bird asked a friend who visited him, whether Mr. Ainsworth was not “ one of the Family?-’ It is unsurpassed, except byMaginn’s earlier and even better translation of the celebrated flash song “En roulant de vergne en vergne,” in Yidocq’s Memoirs, which was first given in (he “ Noctes Ambrosiaiue,” July, 1829. This translation has naturalized the French chanson St voleur into our language. ■ In one of Ainsworth’s chants, called “ A Chiipter of Highwaymen, ■” mention is made of the royalist captain, guy Jemmy Hind; of the galliard Frenchman, Claude Duval, who, at once so polite and handsome, that the ladies whom he robbed forgave and fell in love with him j of a worthy, called Old Mob, whose name is still preserved as one of the dramatis persona of that old play “ The Golden Farmer j” of that prince of good fel lows, Tom Cox, and his devil-may-care friend, Will Hallow ay; . Of Gettings, and Grey, and the five or six . Who trod in the steps of bold Neddy Wicks; of the eminent Jack Sheppard; and of Dick Turpin and his famous marc Black Bess. We have been tempted to quote this as a speci men-brick, but prefer giving Mr. Richard Tur pin’s eulogy upon his own profession—which usually ended in the exaltation of its follow ers. Thus did lie sing of THE SCAMPSMAN. “ Quis vere rex?’’— Seneca There is not a king, should you search the world round, So-blithe as the king of the road to be found ; His pistol’s his sceptre, his saddle's his throne. Whence he levies supplies or enforces a loan. Derry-down. ' To this monnrch the highway presents a field Where each passing subject a tribute must yield.; His palace—the tavern —receives him at night, Where sweet lips and sound liquor crown all witß delight. Derry-down. The soldier and sailor, both robbers by trade, Full soon on the shelf, if disabled, are laid; The one gets a patch, and the other a peg. But, while luck lasts, the highwayman shakes a loose leg! Derry-down. Most fowls rise at dawn, but the owl wakes at e'en, And a jollier bird can there no where be seen; Like the owl, our snug Scampsman his snooze takes by day, And when night draws her curtain scuds after his prey! Derry-down. As the highwayman's life is the fullest of zest, So the highwayman’s death is the briefest and best; He dies not as other men die— by degrees — But at oxen, without wincing, and quite at his ease! Berry-down. It was declared, as against Gay’s “ Beggar’s Opera,” that it made thieves and thieving so popular that the number of prisoners greatly increased during its popularity. The same charge was brought against “ Jack Sheppard,” which, from first to last, is the history of a thief, set off w ith all the charm of Ainsworth's writing and Cruikshank’s designs. There was truth in these accusations. Thieves’ romances and thieves’ dramas have done infinite mis chief in their day, and we rejoice, for the sake of literature and the drama, that this is so. "Writers who have the command of the popu lar mind would apply their talents profitably py showing, not the triumphs—short lived as are—of crime, but its horrors, and its "Jack Sheppard, on the stage, robbing gentlefolks, companioned by meretricious beauty, and escaping out of Newgate by audacity and agility, may greatly excite a certain class of auditors and spectators : but darkly before them, as the re tribution of such a life, loom the gallows and the halter. These the admirers of Jack Shep pard seldom think of. The taste for such a species of literature as invented Machcath and pressed Turpin and Sheppard into the service of the romance writer and dramatist, must be nearly extin guished—judging from the fact that such a relic as Dick Turpin’s skull, carefully preserv ed for many years, has fetched no more (glass case and all) than a few shillings. It has been purchased, too, not by any morbid collector of ghastly relics, not by any one who admired Turpin’s career as traced in “Rookwood,” but simply by a phrenologist who wishes to draw from it some observations which may il lustrate or glorify his art. Thus, after all, Turpin will be of more use after death than lie ever was while living. Had we more space and a better opportuni ty, we should like to contrast the present time with that in which highwaymen were almost cherished. That was a period of bad roads, slow travel, vast insecurity of property and person, and reckless audacity which preyed upon both. Civilization made great changes. during the sixty years of the reign of George the Third, but the actual revolution com menced, in the closing year of his successor, when George Stephenson was making a solid iron road through Chat Moss, between Man chester and Liverpool, on which the steam car was to carry passengers and freight at a speed of from thirty to forty miles an hour. The highwayman’s vocation fell prostrate before Railwayism. Dick Turpin might rob a car- Tiage on a turnpike-road, but the locomotive would fly past him, quicker than the swiftest bird could cleave its way through the blue ether. Girls’ High and Normal School. To the Editor of The Press : In answer to the communication in your paper of this morning, headed “ Girls’ High School,” I would inform your nameless correspondent that, in sending for applicants that had been rejected at the last examination, the commit tee on the school have only been attending to tlicir duty properly. At a meeting of the committee, held on Tuesday morning last, the principal of the school reported that several ladies admitted at the last examination had not made their ap pearance, and for that and other reasons there were a number of vacancies in the school. The committee thereupon directed him to send for a number of the applicants, taking, in evey case, the next highest on the list at the last examination. In regard to the charge of injustice being done at the last examination, I would only say that the board of controllers directed a re examination of the papers. The committee on the school appointed a commission, consisting of eight of the male principals of the gram mar schools of the city, who, in conjunction with the committee on the school, made a thorough examination of all the papers of the applicants, and at the next meeting of the board of controllers the result of that re examination will be submitted to them, when it will he seen whether tlic charge of injustice to the applicants lias been sustained or not. Yours, Wji. J. Hkeii, Chairman of tlic Committee on Gills' High and Normal School, Sci'TE.MUEII 111, 1801. Tjik Harvest or Death Dr. Lyott, bri gade surgeon under General Lyon at the battle of Wilson Creek, was witness to tie following extraor dinary incident: “A tall rebel soldier waved a large and costly Secession flag defiantly, when a cannon ball struck him to the earth, dead. A second soldier Instantly picked up the prostrate flag, and waved it again—a second cannon ball shattered his body. A third soldier raised and waved the flag, and a third cannon ball crashed into his breast and he fell dead. Yet the fourth time was the flag raised, the soldier waved it, and turned to climb over the fence with it into the woods. As he stood astride the fence a moment, balancing to keep the hoavy flag upright, a fourth cannon boll struck him in the slfe-, cutting lum completely two, so that one-half of his body fell on one side of the fence and the other half the other side, while the flag itself lodged on the fence, and was captured a few minutes afterward by our troops." Cotton in England.—The Government is in receipt of valuable information by the last steam er, relating to. the present stock of cotton iu the English warehouses, and the prospect of a supply from other sources than the rebel States This in formation leaves no room to doubt that the Man chester mills will be able to run on full time for an entire year, even without touching one ponnd of the new crop. LETTER FROM WASHINGTON. [From our Special Correspondent.) Washington, September 12,1801 If I join the army, it will be from two reasons. Firstly— patriotism, glory, &c. Secondly—because it will save me any further anxiety about taking care of myself. If you want to shuffle off this mor tal coil without the inconveniences and scandal at tending self-slaughter and a coroner’s jury, join the army. Of course there is a great deni in the blue coat and brass buttons, not to speak of the sash and sword. These things are very well in various ways. On the Avcnnc, when the weather is fine and you have a pass—at musical soirees in the ovening—at dress parades—at receptions and reviews where A. Lincoln and friends ride along the lines in immense carriages—there is a potency in the blue, brass gold and purple which it is worth while joining the army to enjoy. I confess I sometimes have a weakness after the blue, and the little military experience I have enjoyed in Washington has completely cap tured me. There are obstacles, you know—and sometimes a person is ambitious. This gunpowder is a woful thing, and with the sensible young man that had the difficulty with Hotspur, L sometimes think it is villainous, and believe that the man who first digged saltpetre deserves the severest repre hension of all civilized persons. But still, Hike the blue, and sometimes feel like compromising the matter by joining the Home Guard, an eminently safe and pre-eminently honorable proceeding. But this is not the idea with which X started this letter.. Perhaps the idea of its being an idea is a debatable question, but the great attraction to me in a Eoldier’s life is that total surrender of all per sonal responsibility which a soldier makes. Were you ever under the canvas ? My first night on the straw is a recollection. I was the guest of a good friend who carries a swordin the service, and it was the week after the affair at Manassas. There was something so novel in the scene and alt its sur roundings—for the scene was the base of the hill which gently slopes from the heights of Arlington, and the surroundings were only such as rugged Nature, ruthless war, and a romantic river, rapidly rushing, could bestow. We sat under the trees that night and talked over the recent battle— and when I say “ we” I mean that your corres pondent was an humble listener, while those who joined were full of hair-breadth "scapes, dangers, blood, woe. nnd personal daring. Then there was the danger of an advance by Beauregard, an at tack, and speculations upon the reception we should receive in Richmond, if we, including your hum ble correspondent, visited that celebrated city un der a Confederate escort. Sleep soon suppressed oil fears of Beauregard, and there were fewer slumbers deeper nnd more dreamless. The reveille, (and if you want to hear wonderful music, come to the reveille.) and the breakfast under the trees, with the rude table, the plain fare, and a gray-bearded attendant, who constantly talked of Zachary Taylor and the fearful day at Buena Vista—these things group together in this memory of mine one of the pleasantest pictures of a lifetime. And so. when another good friend, who likewise carries a sword, invited me to spend an evening with him, at his quarters in the arsenal, the recol lection of the evening at Arlington came upon me, and I gladly accepted the invitation, The arsenal is situated on a narrow point or cape, which forms the junction of the Anacostia and the Potomac, and is immediately in the suburbs of the city, about a mile and a half from the Capitol. It is garrisoned by a compnny of Philadelphians, known as the Har rison Guards, and there are many- in its ranks who arc good friends to-day. even as they were in Auld LaDg Sync. 1 can scarcely imagine a prettier place—it looks like a garden. And then the view down the river, with Alexandria dimly in the dis tance ! I was sitting on the bank witb my friend, the lieutenant, in the early evening hour, when I first saw its beauty and splendor. The new-born moon was making her brief stay- in the heavens, and her timid, shrinking, feathery- rays seemed to toy with the sparkling waters. And over the river, in the stillness of the night, came the bugle-note, and the roll of the drums, and the low, eager humming sounds that passed from comp to camp. An occasional rattle of a musket came shivering through the air, to give interest and moaning to the scene. And the scene was broken and pic turesque as the glaring camp-fires peeped through the foliage, and their hazy smoke floated lazily upwards, clouding tho stars and clothing the moon. The soldiers at the arsenal are better accommo dated than the majority of soldiers, - They hare excellent quarters, in a large and commodious room. They were huddled up together, on large piles of straw, some sleeping, some talking, some hamming a familiar tunc, while others wera dreamily thinking of home, as I passed through. The orderly sergeant had a little room to himself, and was poring over somo account books ns I stopped to salute him, looking as stern and terrible as orderly sergeants always do look. Ah! how this war changes your civilians, and especially when they get the three bars and a diamond on the arm of their blue coat. Wc don’t know how terri ble we are until we get in the army. I have known lambs become lions in a day. lam fond of sensations, and I volunteered to accompany my friend, who was officer of the day, as he went on the ‘ grand roundsat two o’clock in the morning. I half regretted my ready acqui escence, when an unceremonious corporal shook me by the arm and told me the “Lieutenant was waiting. ’' But I hastily rose from the blanket and straw, and, carelessly appareled, started out on the tour of inspection. The moon had gone down; the wind was wildly blowing : it was very dark, and. for September, very cold, and the river ran as roughly as the sea. We passed along under the shady avenue of trees, and over a path where the sere and crisp leaves were curling and crumbling, while the stars above seemed to sigh over the fate that was so surely and so swiftly coming. Our foot steps seemed to sound louder in the stillness of the night, and in the associations.there was something strange and weird. “TT7(o comes there ?” Thera is something in that voice that .means something. We don’t see the speaker, but we see a clump of trees and the shadow of a soldier in a heavy cloak, who presents a bayonet. And when the figure calls “Halt!" there is no necessity to repeat the command to in sure obedience. This cold steel is, after all, the greatest of masters: its will is never debated; its province never disputed. It giveß one a strange, queer feeling to meet it at midnight in the hands of a suspicious sentinel. And what if he should make a mistake and shoot? Eager sentinels have been known to do such things before, and this one may be over-anxious to do his duty. 11 Advance, friend, and give the countersign!” But your correspond ent, although a friend, could not advance until the intelligence that the “countersign was correct” was whispered, and we went on our way. From guard to guard, through the dark hours of the midnight—every moment or two hailed by a sentinel—every moment or two stopped by a ruth less bayonet—and on an autumn night, dark, and fierce, and threatening, until we have gone the circuit and arrive onee more at the quarters;—this is a sensation, and, if a civilian like your obedient servant, by all means enjoy it. We bad a little piece of war yesterday. About three in the afternoon, or, perhaps, a little later, the sounds of heavy guns were heard across the river. Cannon-thunder is notan unusual element in Washington, particularly since the artillery regi ments have got into the way of saluting generals, governors, and civilians of high degree, and, ac cordingly, when the familiar echoes startled the air, they were attributed to a salute or shell-practice at the navy yard or arsenal. But the sounds became sharp, irregular, quick, heavy, and successive— now a lull, now a dozen reports in as many dif ferent seconds, succeeded by a report louder than all from the throat of some angry columbiad. I was on the Avenue at the time, and it was wonder ful to see the excitement There was a battle in earnest —we all thought. Mounted horsemen went plunging along at full speed, and occasional soldiers absent on leave were seen hurrying back to their quarters. Many ran to their highest casements, to the roofs, and hundreds to the dome of the Capitol. Still the cannonading increased, amid the hot haste, the hurrying to and fro, and the'gcnoral tu mult of the people. A bnttlo at last! And the rain-drops began to fall, for there were very heavy clouds, but the people still stood on the house tops and the sidewalks, counting the artillery re ports, and peering into the densely-wooded hills of the Potomac, which looked gloomy and listless amid the rain. Many said, “ God speed the Bight!”—many looked solicitous and sad—many exulted in the hope that the day of triumph and re tribution had at length arrived; and who were those whose sullen looks and suspicions bearing told too well that their prayers and hopes were with the enemies of the country ? At intervals, during the space of two hours, the cannonading continued. It was only a skirmish, however, and not a battle. But we all thought it was a battle, and that is almost the same—for there was all the anxiety, the solicitude, the hope, the confidence, and the feeling which could possibly have attended a contest along the whole line. A Washington correspondent writes that the State Department is in receipt of despatches from our foreign ministers, conveying the most gra tifying assurances of the views of foreign nations on the present struggle in this country. England is determined to preserve her strict neutrality ou the blockade question, while other European row ers give earnest evidence of thoir sympathies. Ihe recent letter from Bussin is the only special de spatch presented to this Government on the sub ject. WAR NEWS. AFEAinS AT FORTRESS HONROE Four Monroe, Sept. B.—The correspondent of the Now York Timet aaya: It is understood tbrvt a fleet of gun-boats will, within a few days, be placed in Pamlico Sound, and that there trill bo a land force in the neighbor hood to meet emergencies. The country should not, however, expect too much for the present. The season, in fact, is not far enough advanced to commence land operations in the South. The rebels appear to have given up all intention, at least for the present, of attacking Newport News, though they stand in constant dread at Nor folk of the bombardment. Defences which, before the bombardment of Xlatterns were deemed im pregnable, they are engaged in strengthening, and strong as their batteries are at Sewell’s Point and Craney Island, we have evidence that the confi dence of the rebels in them is not near os great as it was. It was not five hour 3 after the fail of Hatteras became known at Richmond, when regiments on their way from the Cotton States to the Potomac were turned bnck, while the demand for ten thou sand troops went forward from Newbem to Rich mond. THE REBEC, ARMV OX TIIE POTOMAC. The Richmond correspondent of the Savannah News says, under date of Aug. 27: Much criticism has been passed upon Gen. Beau regard and those who arc believed to direct the movements of the army, more particularly respect ing his failure to occupy or destroy Alexandria and Washington city. Congress called for information on this point, and the President referred the in quiry to Gen. Beauregard, who, in his answer, placed tho blame where it really belonged. He had been for weeks almost beseeching the War De partment to supply him with the material needful to carry on the war—men, ammunition, provisions, wagons; but the quartermaster's and commissariat departments being in incompetent hands, the day of battle came and found our generals without the means of carrying the army forward Quite an acrimonious debate sprdtg up in the House upon the reading of this answer, in which Messrs. Miles and Chesnut, of South Carolina, who had been on the staff of General Beauregard, at Manassas, and had supported him in a most gallant manner during that eventful day, found it necessary to vindicate their great chief from the aspersions which certain members were disposed to throw out against hie military reputation. Rain has fallen in great quan tities, and almost incessantly, rendering the roads impassable for heavy wagon transportation, and the marching of large bodies of troops, and there has been n great deaf of sickness among our soldiers— probably twenty per cent, are at this time unfit for duty. The Manassas correspondent of the Charleston Mercury, under date of August 29, says: In company with General Walker, of Georgia, who has been ordered on here from Pensacola, and Captain Hartstein, now one of his volunteer aids, I made a pleasant visit to some of the neighboring camps, and to Generals Johnston and Beauregard this morning. General Johnston has headquarters near the Junction, about a mile beyond Beaure gard, in a comfortable and prettily situated farm house. General Beauregard brought out his maps for us, and went over the general plans and details of the battle of tbe 21st. If his originni intention had been carried ont of advancing his right wing on Centreville from Union Mills, there can be no doubt that the enemy would either have been annihilated or compelled to surrender. When the official re port is published much that iE at present ill-under stood or misinterpreted will be cleared up, and I do not think the record will prove any more flatter ing to the Yankees than Russell’s letter. It is almost inconceivable how they could have blun dered as they did, and the cowardice of their troops was fairly matched by the incompetence of their officers. lam afraid, though, that the lesson has been thrown away, and that. under the skilful leadership of McClellan, it will require larger forces and harder fighting to whip them. You may expect to hear daily fighting up here now, and it would not surprise me if an attack of some strength was made by them upon Acqnia Creek and Mathias Point batteries. Our men. in turn, are becoming impatient: the winter is approaching, and we might as well take up ourwinter quarters in Wash ington as anywhere else. So yon need not feel too much surprised if we dash across the Potomac some fine morning and driTe the enemy out of his comfortable entrenchments on the other side. GEN. SICKLES IX TIIE FIELD. Since Gen. Sickles received his commission of Brigadier General, some days since, he has display ed great activity. He has laid down n telegraphic wire from his headquarters, on the Anacostia branch of the Potomac, to the War Department, some seven miles distant, so that he is in frequent communica tion with Washington. By the recent statute, passed at the last session of Congress, a new offence has been created, not before known to the statutes of the United States; that is, the offence of conspiracy against the Go vernment of the United States. If two or more persons, within any State, conspire together to destroy the Government of the United States, or to levy war upon the United States, or to react the execution of the laws of the United States,or.b.v force or threats to prevent any person from accept ing or holding any office under the United States, they are made guilty of a eriminal offence: VIOLATION OP TUB OATH OP ALLEGIANCE. There is another new offence created under re* cent provisions of Congress, the violation of the new oath of allegiance required to- be taken by certain officers of the Government of the United States, especially by persons who hold offices in the departments of the Government—a newly-pre scribed bath of allegiance, adapted to the exigency of the times within which we live, requiring cer tain officers of our Government to bear trne faith and allegiance to the Government of the United States. any law, or ordinance, or authority of any State to the contrary notun thstan ding. The violation of that oath is a criminal offence. FROM ST. LOUS. tit. Loins, Sept. 10. —Major Steel, of tbe Eleventh United States Infantry, and who led the regulars in the Springfield fight. left the city this morning for Bella. He has orders to conduct to St. Louis the entire command—all of which participated in that sanguinary battle. Many of the wounded soldiers who came in from Bolla last Saturday night, are at the General Hos pital in a destitute condition. Some of them have not had a change of garments since the battle of Wilson’s Creek, and all they have is the clothes in which they were wounded. mow BOLLA. Bolla, Sept. 10. —Eight prisoners were brought down on the train from l’.ulia, yesterday, in charge of Lieut. Kilgore. They were captured in a skir mish which took place between the Home Guards and rebelslat Douglas Prairie, in Gasconade county. Two of the rebels were killed, and in another skirmish the same day, ten more of the rebels were killed and thirty-two horses taken. At another place, near Cnba, two scouts were taken in a corn field, with McKinstry’s passes in their pockets. Five hundred men and Dubois’ battery had been despatched by Col. Wyman to reinforce Capt. Mc- Fnli, supposed to be at Steelville or Salem, where he was threatened with an attack. Adviees were received from Springfield down to Friday morning. Col. John A. Foster, a noted Secessionist, and the first person to raise the Con federate flag in Springfield, died Wednesday eve ning, from the effects of a wound received in the battle of the 10th. Stining Letter of Thomas Francis Meagher. The Boston Journal of Thursday evening snys: The following letter from the brave and patriotic Meagher was received this morning. His enthusi asm in the good cause will not fail to stir his coun trymen to qction: Heaihu aiitecs Inisn Brigade, I 5% Broadway, Sept. 11,1861. j Mr Dear Treanor : I have this moment sent you word by the wires that, very probably, I shall send you the name of a colonel to-morrow. In the meanwhile, work away like a trooper, and mind what I urged upon you—don’t enlist any but de cent, intelligent, steady, and brave young fellows— no rowdies, no loafers, no broken-down political hacks and hirelings, for God’s sake, and the sake of the country! We are getting on gloriously here. Within a fortnight our three regiments—one of them being a regiment of flying artillery—will be complete. I have telegraphed to my friend Ser geant Tom O'Neill, requesting and authorizing him to raise a squadron of one hundred men. Should he do so, If he has no objection, we shall bring him along her?, for wo shall all be right glad to have the dashing Irish dragoon protecting our guns. I purpose being in Boston in tne course of ten days or a fortnight, and will deliver an address on tho National Cause, the Stars and Stripes, and the Irish Brigade. Tho glorious three in glorious unity must win. No retreat next time. “ Stand or fall —victory or death—but no retreat —no re treat.” That's the marching and rallying cry next fight we have. Heavens! isn’t it glorious to have such a country, and such a cause, and such a Sag to battle for? The Irishman who is not with us in this contest —with us heart and soul—lot him never utter another syllable about the liberty of Ireland. If he will not stand up to strike, or at all events to cheer for tho good great cause which is now in fierce debate upon the- Dunks of the Potomac, ho will never have tbe heart and soul to face the red tempest for the cause that is still more desperately in peril. I remain, my dear Treanor, Ever faithfully, your friend, Thomas Francis Meagher. To B. S. Treanor. Esq., Boston.
