FORT PICKENS, Sept. 21, 1881.
DEAR CAPTAIN: Another specimen of the "con

of ammunition and provisions. About two huri
dr,_"l w ihem deserted yesterday.
There is no business transacted in Pensacola.
People are tired of war, and very much afraid
that we will burn their town down. You killed
thirty of them the other night, principally with
the canister—. smashed them all up," to use the
OriP„i_r* expreSSion. 4 .
Mine troops here have gone to• , :giehmooj :hey'
don't say anything about a fight Washington ;
but talk of I , there going to be"—a little at Rich

advance on Washington should prove to be no
thing more than a thin curtain of troops
spread out in front of our lines to cover the re
moval of their material and retrograde move
ment towards Richmond.
Most of the people over the way are tired of the
war, and want peace on any terms, Very few
troops or ammunition at New Orleans. All the

Achievements of our Troops.
A Fort Pickens correspondent of the New York
Herald, under date of September 14, says
Certainly to the Secessionists the resessio4 of
Port Pickens is of the most manifest importance ;
yet strange to say, General Bragg, with several
thousand men, scarcely three thousand yards off,
lies inactive, and submits tamely to continued in
sults from a foe not more than one-third his strength.
Ills schooners are fired into, his dry-dock is
burned right under the month of his gans, and
last, though not least, one of his vessels,_splen
dully fi tted out as a privateer, is boarded while
lying at the navy yard dock, set fire to and
burned to the water's edge and at Me same time
one of his largest and hest mounted guns, a ten.-
inch coluntbiad, is spiked and rendered useless ;
yet all this fails to rouse him into activity. You
will be amused to know that within a month he
bee been at the "brag" game by sending a sum
mons to Colonel Brown to surrender Fort Pickens.
Dlost" doughty knight!"
Bow the Privateer Judith was Burned
and a Rebel Columbiad Spiked.
Three bargeS from the, COlorado, containing
twenty sailors and sixty-ve marines, under the
command of Lieutenant Russell, arrived at Port
Pickens after dark on the night of the 12th inst.
Captain Reynolds, of the marines, and one or two
midshipmen, accompanied the expedition.
Upon each barge 4 twelve-pound howitzer was
mounted, loaded wjth grape and shrapnel.
The officers and men disembarked at the fort,
and remained on shore until about one o'clock,
then again embarked 'and made their way towards
the navy yard.
Arriving within a few hundred yards, the heats
separated, one snaking fel' . the .sehooner Judith,
lying alongside the dock, a Short distance off from
the battery where the ten-inch columbiad is mount
ed. The second boat headed for the dock, while
the third lay off a short distance, to cover the re
treat with her gun.
They were espied by the sentries when off a hun
dred yards, or thereabouts, and hailed. The an
swer was given, Guard boats;" and, as they had
crept up near the island shore, some distance above
the navy yard, and came down as if from Pensaco
la, they were mistaken fur guard boats approaching
from the latter place, until but a few yards inter
vened between them and their respective desti
nation. A sentry upon the dock first discovered
the mistake, and fired his musket at the boat ap
proaching him, then turned to give the alarm, but
was stopped by a well-aimed bullet.
The man sprang ashore just as the long roll sound
ed to alarm the soldiers stationed there. The other
sentries fled. The gun was reached, and outman.,
before prepared, proceeded to spike it. Just as he
had most effectually completed his job, a Confede
rate officer—rushing ahead of his men, who were
congregating, from all directions, a few hundred
feet off—confronted him. The marine turned,
drew his cutlass, and cut him down; then hastily
followed his comrades into the boat and put off from
shore, followed by a shower of musket balls. Mean
while the crew of the other boat which had taken
the schooner in charge were not quite so successful.
On nearing the vessel some twelve or fifteen shots
were fired at them, killing two, and it is feared
mortally wounding three others. They kept on,
however, under a galling fire, boarded the
schooner, cut down two or three of its crew who
faded to make their escape, then collected all
the C017 , 1 ,, xti eihe Inn terried they co told find, .vet fire
to it in the cabin, after which they cut the schooner
loose, and let her drift away from her moorings.
They then embarked again in the boat, bearing
with them one man, killed aboard the vessel, it is
said, by mistake, he being taken for one of the re
bels, and cut down by his friends.
Lieutenant Russell was wounded quite severely
in the shoulder ; Captain Reynolds was also wounded
by a musket ball while retreating. The enemy,
several hundred strong, had by this time come to
gether and kept up a rattling volley of musketry
upon them. Word was now given to pay them
back; the howitzers were brought to bear upon the
dark mass congregated upon the dock, they quickly
belched forth their contents, which did fearful exe
cution. There is no way of estimating the result, but
it is supposed that at least sixty or seeatty
were put hors de combat. The men now bent to
the oars with a will, rounding the point °fiend upon
which Fort Piekenseis situated. They beaded off
for their vessels, giving us as they passed the fort,
and receiving in return, three such hearty cheers
as never before broke upon the still morning air in
the Pay of Pensacola.
The schooner wits completely destroyed. She
was of about 250 tons burden, and had on board
one pivot and four broadside guns. Her loss will
be very much felt by the rebels.
Other Important Enterprises Contem-
plated.
News reached me that an enterprise of a still
more desperate character than, either of the above
will be attempted shortly. It is the firm purpose
of Col. Brown to bring on a general engagement by
provoking the enemy to a point beyond mortal en
durance. Col. B. is cautious, and does not wish to
take the initiative stop; indeed his orders from the
War Department are not to do so, but there is no
thing to prevent his replying when owe the enemy
shall have applied the match to any of their big
guns. And reply he will.
Ere another mail roaches you I hope to be able to
chronicle such, events as will electrify the whole
country. The war must commence here in earnest
before many days, and when it does, look for such
an expenditure of powder as the New World has
never before seen.

The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New
York Tribune says, under date of Sept. 20 :
It is understood that Flag Officer Goldshoreugh
expects to have not lass than forty ships of the
Atlantic .Blockading Fleet collected to the Roads
'within the next two weeks. At present we have
six frigates, including. the Cumber/and {which is
at Newport Newe), via The /liz,,esele (nagehipli
the floanole, the Saline, the Congress, the St.
Lawrene4 the Cumberland ; beside the Dale,
slid a number l of gunboats and supply ships, in all
not less than 325 guns and 4,500 men. The Wabash
is on the coast, and is expected to arrive. Of
course, the largest number of tho expected fleet
will be gunboats, lately purchased and now fitting
out in New York and Philadelphia. The destine-
Gun of this unexampled ntdron is, of eourse, one
of the secrets almost past finding out. and not to be
told when found out. That formidable operations
are. to be 1171derillte7L on. the Southern coast
there can be no doubt. Inasmuch as the late At-
Untie Blockading District has been divided, by
creating tho S3uthern Atlantic Squadron, of which
Captain Dupont will be the Flag Offuter, the con
clusion is that the ships which, according to report,
will congregate hero, will confine their operations
this side of rf r o oviifing Ma, which will be Ike
boundary of North and South Carolina. It
should not bo supposed that all, or even a majority
of the squadron, will be employed in special service,
for it is doubtless the purpose of the Government to
enforce a more perfect blockade of the whole coast,
which experience has shown to be one of the must
effective methods of crushing out the rebellion.
Still, there are certain cities and ports the moral
effect of capturing which would be so great that it
le fair to be presumed that it will be undertaken.
If there is one place which above any or all others
the loyal sense of the land demands should be
humbled and made to feel the hand of the Federal
Government, it is Charleston. Its fall would be
the fall of the chief pillar of the rebellion. The
results would be commensurate with the cost, groat
as it might possibly be, though it need be by no
means so great as the rebels think or the Govern
ment has been in the habit of conceding. Supposing
that the Government intends to concentrate its
energies in an expedition by land and sea against
Charleston, according to the clearly-defined ex
pectation and wish of every loyal citizen, we may
readilysuppose that such a policy will be postponed
no longer than considerations of the season shall
dictate. But the probability of such an under
taking rests not alone on this presumption. There
tire indications in the " mevements, doings, and so
on," great and small, here and there, now and
then, that point directly to such a purpose.
Grouped together, these indications, to the eye of
the careful observer, establish snore than a proba
bility, if they are not even proof positive of under
takings at an early day worthy of our Govern
ment.
AFFAIRS IN KENTUCKY.
From Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 29.---The corpse of Captain
Abbott, of Columbus, Indiana, who was unfortu
nately killed by a sentinel, through mistake, at the
Lebanon Junction, yesterday, passed here this morn
ing on the route home for interment.
The city is quiet. No reliable news has been
received from below.
Loutsvmn, Sept. 30.—The Yournal has reliable
evidence that the rebel General Zollieoffer hos taken
Manchester, in Clay county, with great destructioa
of property there.
Judge Ventrees, of Hardin county, has been ar
rested for aiding the rebels.
A doubtful rumor prevails that 600 rebels have
bad an engagement with 500 of the Tenth Indiana
Regiment, half-way betweenßardstown and Bloom
field. Tho result is not stated.
The rebel force under Humphrey Marshall have
disbanded and gone home,
Smuggling Goodu from Louisville into
Tennesseb
The Contra/ Kentuckian., of the 26th, sato:
We learn fro= reliable , sources that a 7axgo
athottbt of,irs4;ht .19 permitted to be sent rersrard
from Loaisville to -points in the interior of the
State, and are carried through to Tennessee without
ever stopping in Kentucky. All along the border
of the State little towns which, before this war com
menced, were hardly known outside the county in
which they are located, are now filled to overflow
ing with large stocks of merchandise, which, in
ordinary times, would supply the trade for years.
They must have customers to buy these goods,
and these customers come from the Confederate.
'States. Men in Louisville are making fortunes
by smn,,mglinggoods into Tennessee, while honest
dealers, from their convictions - of duty to their Go
vernment, arc compelled to suspend business. Is
this right? Is it giving encouragement to loyalty?
On the contrary, is it not offering a premium for dis
loyalty ? We understand it is no common thing to
hear men boast on the streets of Louisville of
their explorts in sn..uggling goods into Tennes
see, and the enormous sums of money made by
their operations. lire heard of one man's boast
ing of Twain,: $13,000 in one week. torsi this
thing ought to be stopped, and the guilty parties
brought to justice, or the blockade raised and ho
nest men at least put upon an equal footing - with
traitors. If there is a blockade in Kentucky let it
be an efficient one.
SOUTHERN NEWS.
Important from Richmond
A correspondent of the Tribune writing from
Fortress Monroe, under date of September 26,
says:
A gentleman who has been some time in Rich
mond, gives some highly interesting information.
Troops arc arriving daily in largo numbers from the
South, and ho is of the opinion that the number
now in Virginia is greater than it is generally un
derstood to be at the North. The detrmination to
fight to the last is represented as universal. The
Marylanders in Virginia inflame the public mind
by representing that in Baltimore especially no
man is safe, that womon aro ravished with impu
nity, and that the "Yankees" are let loose on the
community to pillage and destroy. The gentleman
referred to states that he was lately at Matthias
Point, where be saw batteries and heavy guns; that
the rebels profess to bo able to close the Potomac
any day they wish, but that they will not do so,
however, before they are prepared to attack Mc-
Clellan and move on Washington, which they
pretend they will doshortly. Ho represents that the
troops arriving from the South are well armed,
clothed, and that ho heard of no dissatisfaction.
The prevailing idea in Richmond is, that the rebel
army will winter in Philadelphia, not even stop
ping in Washington or Baltimore. Mr. Ely and
several officers have been sent to Charleston. The
New York Zouaves, the Sixty-ninth and Seventy
ninth prisoners were taken to New Orleans. Two
or three hundred go South daily. A stupendous
effort is being made to provide' blankets for the
army, by making every county in any Slaw con
tribute a certain number of blankets, the proposi
tion being that families should part with their
blankcts,forward di= at once for the use of the
army, and make more for themselves, or go with
out. In Richmond all kinds of woollen goods aro
very dear. Cloth, worth in New York 30 cents,
sells for $1.30.
The latest arrivals of troops are from Florida and
Louisiana. Howell Cobb has recently brought on
an exceedingly fine regiment of cavalry, from
Georgia, which he commands. He recently bad a
long interview with John M. Botts, who takes no
part. There is a strong anti-Stephens party, while
Davis, who is generally worshipped, has many bit
ter enemies. Dutcher is nowhere. Bishop Polk is
strongly urged to be successor of Walker as Secre
tary of War. The army on the Potomac is claimed
to number 200,000 mon. The capture of Hatteras
caused great consternation, and North Carolina
and Commodore Barron are unsparingly censured.
A serious trouble is breeding in regard to the cur
rency; there is little or no specie in circulation,
and the newspapers complain that it has boon hoard
ed, and call upon those who have got it to put it
out. The troops, are paid, when at all, in Confede
rate bonds. The late rumor to the effect that the
rebel troops were recently paid in specie or Vir
ginia paper money is without foundation in truth.
Donde UM used for that purpose. The troops are,
however, generally well shod. Great efforts are
making to fortify the Southern coast, and Davis and
his advisers are much exercised about apprehended
movements in that direction. A few days since
much excitement existed in Richmond for some
cause or other, and a hasty meeting of the
Cabinet was called. The great cry in the Southern
papers is "On to Washington ;" yet there was a
growing inquiry what the war is about, and an in:-
creasing wish that the war might cease and the
army be permitted to return to their homes.
Important from Charleston, S. C.
The Washington Republican of the 30th says:
On Friday last, Air. John Haley and his son,
Martin Haley, arrived in Washington, direct from
Charleston, which they left on the 14th inst. Mr.
Haley is a resident of more than thirty years stand
ing in Charleston, and kopt two of the principal
livery stables in the city. He is a man of respecta
bility and means, and is very intelligent upon
Charleston affairs. no eye us the following state
'Aleuts
There are many Union men en Charleston,
but they five no public utterance to their senti
ment, ; t Ley know each other, and privately ex
change their thoughts, hopes, and fears. His
fidelity to the Southern Confederacy was doubted,
and they begun a system of annoyances. His son's
loyalty was also doubted, and he was ordered to
join II military organisation, which ha bravely de
clined to do, and said that he "was born under the
American flag, and he intended to die under it."
For this "treasonable" language he was ar
rested and imprisoned, and continued in prison
for three weeks, when he was released upon , bail.
His father now determined to send him to the
North, and soon after to follow him. He adroitly
managed to get his son out of the oily, and he made
his way to Knoxville, whore he awaited the arrival
of his father.
On Mr. Haley's arrival thero, his trunks were
searched, and $5,000 in gold kept by tho soldiers.
Parson Brownlow•'s House Guarded.
At Knoxville he found the house of the gallant
Parson Brownlow guarded by soldiers, to proteot it
from mob violence. This was done by order of
General Zollicoffer. The parson remains true to his
Union principles, and Zo!Healer will not allow the
mob to wreak its vengeance upon him.
Throughout all the country he traversed, he saw
large numbers of rebel soldiers, and went to a num
ber of their large encampments. lie gives the
names of the camps and the officers in command,
at.a n gre.4t acid. of salualdc information. which he
will, if desired, lay before the War Department.
Ile says they uniformly ovor•estimato the number
of their troops.
Affairs at Charleston.
Business of every description is dull, almost sus
pended. The stores on Meeting and King streets
closo at two o'clock. so that proprietors and clerks
may attend drill. Ever'/ 'MIDI is required to do
military ditty. Liven. Governor Aiken is a
private tlie Brooks' Gward. No dry goods
have been received there for a long time, and the
blockade appears to ho effectual. No vessels arrive
or depart. except a few little schooners, which hug
along the shorn. Huy sells for $3.50 per cwt., and
butter for 60 cents a pound. The railroad does but
little business; few passengers, and no freight.
The only commerce Charleston now enjoys is
carried on by the inland route, through the rivers
and inlets from Savannah. Beaufort, &c.
The news of the Hatteras Inlet affair created
great consternation at Charleston. Every man
woe ordered to hold himself in readiness for duty
at nn hour's notice, and to polled themselves in the
use of arms.
The citizens had confidently counted on the se
cession of Kentucky, and when they heard of the
action of the Legislature, they were sorely disap
pointed and aggrieved.
Immediately after the news of the capture of
Hatteras, - soldiers from all parts of the State
came to Charleston, and ware- seat to clirent
points along the coast to oppose United
States file, as they anticipated an attack. The
Washington artillery was sent to Bull's Bsy, some
fifteen miles from Charleston. Other troops were
sent to Beaufort, and all the inlets are protested by
little schooners, or, as they say, by the Confederate
navy! No soldiers are allowed to remain with
in the city of Charleston, inasmuch as the Home
Guard is to do duty there. There are no fortifica
tions about the city, but upon the Battery there are
a few cannon.
A large number of the eitigen.s have left the city,
and those who formerly spent their summer on
Sullivan's Island have gone to the mountains.
Privateers
There are five privateers, or piratical vessels,
vow in port—the Gordon, Dexle, Satinet. and
two more. names not recollected. They remain in
port because they dare not attempt to run the
blockade. Four of the crew of the Jeff. Dams
are in jail for mutiny. They are charged with at
tempting to sink her.
The Union Prisoners.
The day before Mr. Haley left, the prisoners from
Richmond arrived. It was supposed they would be
mobbed or badly treated, but they arrived late at
night, when they were not generally expected, and
~ voro conducted to the jail by a strong guard.
The Banks
A weekly statement of the condition of tho
banks. as ~ ompared with the previous month, notes
the following changes : A decrease of circulation
to the extent of $182,368; in specie of 836.785.83 ;
in discounts. 818,816 ; in deposits, $730,483; in do
mestic exchange, 8100,613 ; and in foreign ex
change, 5.179.021.
How Blankets are to be Supplied.
Another " Aid and Relief Association" has boon
organized to assist the Government in procuring
under- clothing and blankets for "our brave volun
teers " against the approaching winter, as " all
supplies are cut off from abroad." They urge
families to give up their blankets and use the
cotton comfort.
Coast Defences
Battaßona are being raised at Hilton Hoed and
ut Boanfbrt, S. C., for coast defences, which, " in
view of tho descent of the enemy," they deem ne.

A large number of runaways are advertised,
which would seem to indicate that these people are
not all happy and contented. The auction sales of
slaves aro at a very low ebb—only one family, be

Newspaper Comments.
[From the New York Tribune.]
We do not know what are Gen. McClellan's pur
poses with regard to a general engagement, and
would not reveal them if we did ; but we believe
the Confederates mean to force him (if necessary) to
accept battle within the next fortnight, and
probably within a very few days. Their re
sources are limited ; their soldiers are poorly clad,
and the cool nights of autumn begin to tell on their
health and spirits, so that many of them are anxious
for a fight or a retreat. Thousands of them are there
on purpose to fight, and will do it valiantly; others
have been pressed. or ariederi, or dragged into-
the service, and do not see the beauty of shiv-
Tering in cotton uniforms through months of inac
tion, exposure, and increasing cold. We believe that
every day of quiet now tells on the Union side, and
shall be glad to see a battle postponed for a month
yet. But the embarrassment of the navigation of
the lower Potomac, by rebel batteries, is intended
either to hasten a combat or to cover an attempt to
cross the river in force, so that we shalt regard with
anxious interest our Washington advices for some
days to come. We believe General McClellan is
prepared for any emergency, and that, though
every day adds strength to his columns, as com
pared with those of the rebels confronting him, yet,
if they are really anxious for a trial of strength,
they need not go far to find their coveted oppor
tunity.
A Washington despatch to the same journal says
that—
The better opinion among the regular officers is,
that the retreat of the rebel forces has at last earn
me,reei ; that the,, movement southward of tho
artcy of tho Potomac, long foreseen to be a military
necessity, was precipitated yesterday by the cul
mination of influences which will demoralize awl
destroy the army.
[From the New York World.]
If the rebels should be unable to provoke a bat
tle on ground of their own choosing before the sea
son is much further advanced, they will bo under
the necessity of withdrawing their troops from the
line of the Potomac, where they cannot think of
preparing winter quarters ; and when this is done,
we shall be able to make easy work of the batteries
along the river. The cold nights of last week, fol
lowed by the severe equinoctial storm, must have
put the fortitude of troops from the Gulf States,
without tents andpoorly clad, to a severe test, and
have admonished their leaders of the necessity of
making some arrangements to meet the approach of
winter. It has boon their dearest wish to gain a
great battle, and make their winter quarters in
'Washington and Baltimore. Finding themselves
foiled, they may be reluctantly coming to the
conclusion that they must dismiss some of their
troops from the States furthest south to return
for the defence of their homes, while the rem
nant of their army in Virginia is withdrawn to
points nearer Richmond for the defence of that
city. 'Unless General McClellan should conclude
to give them battle this week, it is not probable
that be will have an opportunity to gain a great
victory over them at all at any point near the Fe
deral capital.
[From the New York Herald.]
We have no doubt that Beauregard'a occupation
of Munson's II was a stratagem for drawing out
General McClellan from his defences into suck
trap as that of Bull Run. Failing in this expe
riment, Bcauregard has withdrawn; and it is quite
possible that, having gauged the strength of our
army, he may now be preparing to steal off with
all his forecs to Richmond. It appears that the
rebel authorities are collecting large quantities of
lumber there, from which to construct the winter
huts of their soldiers ; and so, if McClellan will not
come out of his strongholds to accommodate Bonn.
regard, the latter, having exhausted the country
around him, and having satisfied himself that he
has nothing to gain by remaining on the Potomac,
may conclude that his best course is to fall back
upon Richmond, fortify it, and make it his winter
quarters.
The season as dose at hand when the Cotton
States must look - to their own defences. Beau
regard cannot longer remain idle without ha
.&..7.i-di3i6; flee Pedcral ocenpat;ou of every South
ern seaport. Ho must fight or fall back ; and if
McClellan will not oblige him by advancing towards
Bull Run, we think it quite possible Moult,: rebel
army of Manassas stay retire in dtsgust.
'Within the present week the question will probably
be settled.
[From the New York Times.]
The occupation of Munson's Hill and the ranging
heights was, therefore, simply ii lure to draw
Gen,ral McClellan fromm his entrenchments.
It was hoped the national commander, chafing at
the audacious proximity of the , rebel force, would
forthwith attack it; and the conflict once inaugu
rated, it would be easy to retreat slowly to the
protection of the same formidable batteries which
shot death and confusion among our men at Bull
Run. Thus another victory would be gained with
this advantage to the rebels, that they would know
that they had it early enough to follow it up
vigorously and gain Washington. The whole of
this astute strategy General McClellan has proba
bly understood. He has resisted the temptation ;
and the enemy, disappointed in his experiment,
and driven to some more promising method of at
taining his capital object, has abandoned Munson's
Bill and the hills to the southward. We shall not
be surprised to learn that his entire force has
6een withdrawn to the southward of Centre
ville.
AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.
Jefferson City Considered Safe
[From the St. Louis Re mtblican Sept. 27.]
We have thought that St. Louie was bad enough
in regard to the extravagant stories put in circu
lation, from time to time, but latterly Jefferson
City has begun to dispute the palm with her.
The newspaper reporters up there, whose business
is to know all that is going on, seem to have
as much as they . can well attend to in taking
notice of the various reports which find currency.
It is no small matter to undertake to separate the
reliable from the unreliable, and distinguish be
tween the true and false, and consequently the
bewildered snatchers-up of unconsidered trines
frequently Sind themselves in annoying dilemmas.
'They have had two or three big scares at the
capital in relation to a rumored advance of Ben
McCulloch, who has been said to be marching from
the South with a prodigious force. Hardee, more
over, has been reported to be moving upon Pilot
Knob, and upon .Rolla, and also to join Price at
Lexington. Various other " sensation " have
been started to keep the people in a ferment.
With referenee tp the movements pf McCulloch
and Hardee, however, we confess that wo have
seen nothing at all reliable for some time. No ono
seems to be able to locate either of them at any
precise point in the State; and though it is just
possible that both may be within our borders, it is
a little singular that nothing more tangible than
mere conjoetures has as yet come to hand as to
their wherettirouto.

Joseph, beibre he came in this direction. The re
bels boastfully speak of sweeping everything before
them, and talk confidently of snaking their win
ter quarters at St. ,Louis. Rebel batteries are
reported on the Missouri river at Brunswick, Wa
verly, and Miami. Jimmy arilber T a Federal sol
dier, who fought at Lexington, says the fight conti
nued sixty hours without ceasing; that Price now
has thirty thousand men and twenty pieces of ar

The Navigation of the Potomac.
The Washington Republican. of September. 30,
The firing of shells from one of the points of
Occoquan creek, last week, into a hay-loaded
whopper, has caused the general eirellletloo Of the
statement that the navigation of the Potomao la
closed. This has, been followed, naturally, by a
rise in the price of heavy articles of general con
sumption, such as coal, hay, Ac,, which we receive
by the river, and must embarrass the chartering
and sailing of vessels for this port with Govern
ment stores. The coal dealers here are said to have
put up the price of coal from six to eight doilarS
per ton,
It is not believed by naval officers who have been
cruising on the river that the point of the Wee
quan creek, from which the hay-loaded schooner
was fired into, was fortified with a view to impede
the navigation, for which purpose its advantages
are so much less than those of many other places,
where the channel is much nearer the Virginia
shore. This Oecoquan battery is, in fact, believed
to have been constructed to prevent the landing of
troops there, on the supposition that our generals
might meditate a flank movement in that direotion
against General Beauregard.
Upon the general subject of the closing of the Po
tomac by batteries on the Virginia shore, it may
seem to be surprising that the enemy has not at
tempted it before, considering the number of places
at which it may be done, and the fact that he is so
admirably supplied with artillery. Ile has proba
bly been restrained from it by knowing that he
would be promptly dislodged from any point at
which he might make the experiment, and that
ante SlOpro . .'o , of the 52elvigation leh;c7l eonld
electV
olt& only be temporary. Our Govern
ment, of course, cannotoceupy the wholeline of the
Virginia shore of the navigable Potomac. All it
can do, is to hold the naval and military forces in
readiness to break up and scatter any force which
may actually attempt to take position on that line
and to fire into vessels moving up and down the
river. This Government has done and is doing,
and it ha-s no doubt of its power CO keep tne
on•b.s-inntially unimpeded hereafter,
as it has been heretofore. We do not belieue that
there is any occasion for serious alarm upon the
subject.
This whole difficulty, greater or less, of the occu
pation, by the enemy, of the right bank of the Po
tomac, will be ended by the retreat, or defeat, of
his main force, of which the headquarters is at
Manassas, one or the other of 'which events can•
nzot be long postponed,
McClellan and his Generals.
Bayard Taylor, in describing a recent review of
the Union troops, says :
"I had an opportunity of contrasting McClellan
with a score of generals and princes. There were
McDowell, Porter, Keyes, Blanker, Smith, and
Marcy, all manly, gallant faces, and figures of true
military bearing ; Cols. De Trobriand and Solm-
Solm, with their dashing, chivalreelue air; the
Prince de Joinville, twisted and stooping, lounging
on his horse ; the Orleans Princes, with their mild,
amiable faces, and aspect of languid interest—in
all, a most remarkable group of figures. A
horse's length in advance sat the smallest man
of the party, broad-shouldered, strong-chested, JJ
strong-necked, and strong-jawed, one hand upon I
his hip, while the other, by an occasional rapid
motion, flung some communication to the pass
ing squadron of cavalry. The visor of his cap was
Well pulled down over his eyes, yet not a man in
the lines escaped his observation. Hls glance
seemed to take in at once the whole spectacle, yet
without losing any of its smallest details. Ile is
a commander," sail my Austrian friend. Some
thing in his figure, his attitude, and the square,
tenacious set of his jaws, reminded me strikingly of
Field-Marshal Radetsky. I scanned the lines of
his face in vain for ssme mark of weakness, indeci
sion, or timidity. All was cool, firm, prompt, de
termined, and self-reliant. If he does not justify
and expectations of the nation, physiognomy is of
no value.
A Friendly jnterriew between Pennsyl
vaunt Regiments and the Rebels. -
A Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says
I have just learned the particulars of two inter
views which took place on Sunday last between
some members of Colonel Ilayes's Eighth Pennsyl
vania Regiment and the Virginia Forty-third
(rebel). stationed on the opposite banks of the Poto
mac at Great Falls. The river is here not more
than a hundred yards wide, and the pickets on both
sides have occasionally hailed each other. On Sun
day the rebels invited some of our men moss,
stating that if they would leave their arms behind
them they would receive hospitable treatment, and
be allowed to return
One of the Pennsylvania boys stripped, plunged
in, and swam over. Ile was helped up the rocks
by a Virginia captain, who gave him his overcoat
to wear, and proposed that he should take a drink
of whisky. "If I drink," said the soldier, "it
must be to Our Country." "Very good," said the
rebel officer, "I will join you ; Ilere's to our coun
try !" And the men on both sides of the river
„oined in a hearty cheer. The man remained an
hour or two, and then swain back, a little nebulous
from the many hoalths he had been obliged to drink.
In the afternoon several of the rebels returned
the visit. They were courteously entertained, and
exchanged buttons with our men, as souvenirs of the
interview. "We don't care anything about the
war," said they, " and don't want to fight, but we
can't help it. You Pennsylvanians are like friends
and brothers, and we wish we had those d--d
South Carolinians against us instead of you." One
of the Virginia officers took off his gold sleeve but
tons, having no other disposable gift at hand, and
received a quarter eagle in return. "Good Lord,"
said he, " it's been a long time since I've seen such
a piece of money." They were all anxious to know
the popular sentiment of Pennsylvania and the
other Border States in relation to the war, and
seemed a good deal depressed at learning the truth.
They appeared to be tolerably well clothed and
fed, and did not complain of their condition.
Two of the soldiers exchanged letters from their
sweethearts. Various exchanges of newspapers,
&e., were also made, and in the act our men re
ceived a letter from a sister of one of the rebels,
without the owner's knowledge. I had an oppor.
tunity of reading the letter this morning, and give
you an interesting extract therefrom : Take care
of your clothes [the writer says] for I don't believe
there is a yard of stuff for shirts or clothing in the
whole county. There ts not in the whole county
a pound of coffee or a pound of sugar. Mrs.
uses honey i n her tea. Send some of your money
home when you get it."
It appears, from other parts of the letter, that the
country has been entirely stripped Of cloth, shoes,
coffee, and sugar, in order that the army may be
supplied. With the present enormous prices of all
those articles in the South, it is difficult to see how
those supplies can bo kept up much longer.
The Late Fatal Blunders.
[For The Press.]
The recent blunder made by the soldiers in firing
on each other being only a repetition of the same
mistake many times, leads us to exclaim,
" Will
means never be devised to avoid such calamitous
mistakes ?" It was suggested some time ago that
the soldiers of the Federal army everywhere wear
the national colors on one arm from the shoulder to
the hand, but as yet only one regiment, so far as I
have heard, have adopted it; but even this would
not avail on a dark night. It would be entirely
effective as a badge in the daytime, but at night
akirrniabing parties should be provided with lan
terns with the glace stained so as to represent the
Colors—Red, White, and Blue—and whenever they
turn back towards the columns of their own army
light their lanterns. Had this been done on Satur
day night, no mishap would have occurred. Of
course it would not do to have lights when they go
out on skirmishing duty, but when they are re
turning they ought to have them. There seems to ,
be nu thought amongst our commanders of such
things, or of any precaution ; anti men who cannot
think of them, or will not provide them, are not fit
for oommanders. It is to be hoped something will
bo done to avoid such calamities in the future.
Respectfully yours, J.
