PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1861.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1861.
In the December number of Harper's Maga
zine is an article under the head of “ Making
Money,” upon the Mint at Philadelphia, It
is profusely illustrated, and it is as likely as
not that a number of our fellow-citizens
may now first be tempted to visit tho Mint,
which, to strangers, is one of the principal
lions of the place. The most liberal access to
visitors is permitted, and people are allowed
ample time to observe all the YariOUS processes
of converting bullion into current coin.
The special correspondent of the London
Morning Herald, writing from New York on
the 20th October, describes a visit which lie
paid to our Mint a few days before. He eulo
gizes the numismatic collection of coins and
medals, as containing many very rare speci
mens, «from the widow’s mite up to the
largest modern gold coinage,” and says, of the
money-making itself, “ the machinery is of a
superior character. The mechanical con.
trivances used in the milling and stamping aro
improvements upon tlie French model.” The
writer in Harper (Mr. Waldo Abbott, we. un
derstand 0 minutely describes the machinery,
and points out when and by whom the im
provements were made—most of them, it ap
pears, by Mr. Franklin Pealc, chief coiner
from IPfid (olfiol. Mr. Abbott says ; -- All
attache of the Royal Mint, London, lately
visited ours at Philadelphia. As he was
leaving, he remarked (q the COillCf ;“ When
you come to London, I beg you not to visit
our Mint. You arc a hundred years in ad
vance of us.”
BOARD TO
More than that, we think, for the milling ma
chine, in Philadelphia, worked by steam, mills
120 double eagles, or SGO half-dimes in one
minute, while the English machine, worked by
liand, Operates but upon two a minute. The
French coining presses (by M. Thonnolier)
arc the finest in Europe—those used at our
Mint are improvements upon them, by Mr.
PcillO. l’llO COiliitig-presses used in the Mint,
in London, were constructed by Boulton and
Watt, in 'l7OO, exactly five years before the
Mint in Philadelphia was first at work.
Every realm in Europe has its own coinage,
of course. A great deal of the money in use
is made by contract in England, chiefly at the
Soho| Works, (Boulton and Watt,) Birming
ham. ll is a singular fact that 'the coin thus
made by a simple manufacturing firm is bettor
executed than that produced in the Royal Mint
in Loudon. The fact is, the private money
makers avail themselves of all the improve
ments in machinery which Practice and Sci
ence have effected, and the monei/crs (as they
are called) who do the coining of metals in
London, receiving a profit on their work, are
content to use the old machinery. In the
Mint of Philadelphia, even when tho heaviest i
and fastest work is going on, —and over ]
2-1,000,000 coins were made there in 1800, j
the visitor only experiences a slight vibration. :
On the contrary, when a person catches sight
of Tower Hill, on which the Royal Mint is
placed, a palpable shaking of the ground, from !
the working of the clumsy machinery, is ex- :
perienced, at a distance of even 500 feet from ;
the building. In the Hotel des Mommies (Im- ;
periai Mint,) Paris, where the machincrv is ’
very much better, this quivering or vibration i
of the earth, at a distance from the building, '
is lcssohsorvublo. It exists, however, whereas '
one may walk even into our Mint in Chestnut
street, without perceiving it, except very
slightly. The perfection of our machinery

with gold and silver coin. Copper money, :
which is in process of being supplanted by a 1
bi-iiize coinage, In imitation of that Of France, ;
is made for the British Government and for i
India and other Colonial possessions, by Boul- I
ton and Watt, of Birmingham. There were !
SI Mints In Paris, previous to 1772, when the j
number was reduced to 18. At present there !
are seven, —namely, at Pario, Line, Bour- !
dcaun, I.jons, Marseilles, lloucn, and Strug. j
bonrg. Nearly the whole French coinage,. !
however, is made at Paris. Tho United
States Mints, authorized by Congress, are I
at Philadelphia, New Orleans, Charlotte, '
DahlftSCgS, and San Francisco, By far tlie
grea’er quantity of United States coin is made j
in Philadelphia. j
Notwithstanding the superiority of the Phi- ;
ladclphia Mint to any in Europe, it is com
paratively quite an infant institution. It was
established, by Act of Congress, in April,
1702, and was first in full operation in
January, 1700. There certainly was a Mint
in France over thirteen hundred years ago,
for there are to be seen, in -the Musce
Mon ctairc of the present Mint, some coins of
Childebert I, which were struck in his own
palace, on the lie de la Cite. The Mint, or.
ganized as a separate establishment, was situ
ated in the Rue do la Monnaie, but finally tlie
Hotel de Conti, on the Qnai Conti, (right side of
the Seine,) was converted into (lie present
Mint, In 1775. Besides coining money, me
dals, and counters, certain officials at the
Paris Mint assay and stamp all the gold and
silver for jewellers—the law in Prance and
England being that every article of gold or
silver must be stamped by the State, to assure
the purchaser that it was of the proper qua
lity.
In England, as far back as the year 928,
King Atlielstan issued orders for the regilla-'
tion of tlie Royal Mint. In the reign of Henry
I, two centuries later, tlie city of Winchester
was the seat of the King’s money-making.
There have occasionally been Mints at other
places—in Dublin, Bury St. Edmunds, York,
. Bristol, Calais, (while in possession of Eng
land,) and London. In the latter place has long
been the sole Royal Mint of England. Sir
Isaac Newton was Warden of the Mint, for
nearly thirty years, and among the Masters of
the Mint, in living memory, were Mr. Glad
stone, now Chancellor of the Exchequer;
Richard Lalor Shell, tlie celebrated Irish ora
tor; and Sir John Herschel, the well-known
astronomer.
The Directors of the Mint, at Philadelphia,
since its organization in 1792,-have been David
Rittenhouse, Henry William De Saussuro,
Elias Boudinot, Robert Patterson, Dr. Samuel
Moore, Dr. Robert *l. Patterson, Dr. George
N. Eckert, Thomas M. Pettit, James Ross
Snowden, and James Pollock, cx-Governor of
Pennsylvania, under whom, we are well as
sured, its superiority will be fully maintained.
The Bronze Doors for the National Ca
pitol.
It is known that the artist Rogers was commis
sioned some years ago by our Government to model
and have cast in bronze folding doors for the Capi
tol. The doors have just been cast at Munioli, and
an English writer, who has seen thorn, gives the
following description of the designs which orna
ment them:
“ The bronze doors intended for the Capitol at
Washington, designed and modelled at Rome, by
the American artist, Rogers, have lately been on
view at the Royal Foundry, where they wore oast.
The workmanship, as is always the case with what
ever emanates from the Munich foundry, is admi
rable . There is a sharpness in the lines, and a finish
in the minutest detail, which are in the highest de
gree OfOdUftWo, Of the doors themselves it is not
easy to convey an adequate idea by n mere descrip
tion ; for an enumeration of all that is represented
might induce the belief that there was a crowding
of objects, and that the allotted spaoe was overfill
ed ; and this is not the case. Each door—the whole
forms a folding deer —is divided into four compart
ments or panels. Thus, with a semi-circular space
above, which has the breadth of both the doors to
gether, there are nine divisions, in each of which
an important moment of Columbus’ life is repre
sented. „
“ The figures stand out in full relief, and some ot
the gyoups aro eminently successful. The crown
ing event of the discoverer’s career occupies the
commanding spot over the top of tho doors. Here
Columbus, standing on a mound, forms the central
figure. lie has just landed from a boat, and with
tho standard of Arragon and Castile planted on the
now soil, and with sword upraised in his right hand,
he takes psssession ot, the land in the name of his
sovereigns. Some boatmen are still in the skiff,
others are kneeling on the shore, while a group of
Indians, peeping from behind a tree on the opposite
side, look on in wondering astonishment. In one
compartment is represented tho triumphal entry of
Columbus into Madrid on his first return from Ame
rica. amid crowds of gazers at him, the hero of the
triumph, and at the Indians, who precede the pro
cession with paroquets on their upraised arms.
“The next panel is occupied with a sadder
story. Here Columbus, in chains, surrounded by a
sorrowin'! population, is about to embark for Eu.
Money-making,
rope. Then, the * Inst scone of all,’ accomplishing
hfe 1 strange, eventful history,’ we see him on his
deathbed, attended only by a nun and some priests,
iTflo administer to him the consolations of religion.
Hifi son stands beside him. In the thickness of the
door itself niches are formed, at certaiu intervals,
and in those are small whole-longth figures of the
great contemporaries of Columbus—kings, states
men, ecclesiastics, nnd warriors. la the osntr*.
cloeo to each other, are two such lines of nlohes,
while, on hoih sides, a single row of figures, one
above the other, fills up the intermediate spaco
between the outer edge of the pnntlß and the door-
P°?tt The largo bosses, so often seen on doors, ore
here the heads of those historians who have written
en the discovery of Ameiica.
“ ornaments below each niche are heads of
animals indigenous to the country, with fruits and
flowtrs entwined, also eharaotorisUo of the New
"World. Every ornament is appropriate, and
though they are manifold, there is no confusion.
As there will be no chance of the work being for
wurded to the place of its destination for some time
to ooluo, it bo possible to Induce the authori
ties to allow it to be sent to England meanwhile,
where it could not fail to be looked at with the
greatest interest. The exhibition of next year
might present the desired opportunity for taking
such & step. d'Lu artist would bo glad that bo good
an occasion offered for making liis work known ;
and the Americans would surely not be unwilling
to show the world how munificently they had come
forward to erect a ginnd national monument.’’

NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
The Message of Jefi Davis to the Rebel
Congress.
The .Richmond papers of Wednesday contain the
message of J off Davis to the rebel Congress.
After the usual congratulations, he says that
“ the operations of the army, soon to be partially
interrupted by the approaching winter, have af
forded a protection to the country and shed a lustra
upon its arms through the trying vicissitudes of
more than one arduous campaign which entitle our
brave volunteers to our praise and our gratitude. ’'
Further on ho says: “ After more than seven
months of war, the enemy have not only failed to
extend their occupancy of our soil, but new States
and Territories have been added to our Confedera
cy ; while, instead, of their threatening march of
unchecked conquest, tfcsy Jiivvo been driven at more
than one point to assume the defensive, and upon
a fair comparison between the two belligerents as
to men, military means, and financial condition, the
Confedegite ,§tate£ ..are relatively much stronger
now than when the Struggle commenced.”
Ho speaks in high terms of the people of Mis
souri, “ who have conducted the war in the face of
almost unparalleled difficulties, with a spirit and
success alike worthy of themselves and of the great
cause in which they ore struggling.
“findiaff that tU Confederate States vmM

jpgated by the Federal forces, our armies were
marched to that State to repel the enemy and pre
vent their occupation of certain strategic points
which would have given them great advantages in
the contest—a step which was justified net only by
the necessities of self-defence on the part of the
Confederate States, but also by a desire to aid the
people of Kentucky.
“It was never intended by the Confederate States
to conquer or coerce that State; but, on the con
trary, it was declared by our generals that they
would withdraw their troops if the Federal Govern
ment would do likewise. Proclamation was also
made of the desire to respect the neutrality of Ken
tucky, and the intention to abide by the wishes of
list pcsple as soon as they were free to express their
opinions. These declarations were approved by me.
and I should regard it as one of the best effects of
the march of our troops into Kentucky, if it should
end in giving to her people liberty of choice aad a
fit?* opportunity to decide their own destiny accord*
iDgto their own will.
4 While, V he says, “the army of tho enemy has
been chiefly instrumental in prosecuting the great
contest, the navy has also been effective in full pro
portion to its means.”
He speaks of the difficulties attending mail trans
portation, some of which can be overcome only by
time and the improved condition of the country, on
therestoration of peace, and others by legislation.
“As to our financial system, it has worked well
so hr. and promises good results for the future.
To tho extent that treasury notes maybe issued, the
Government ie enabled to borrow money without
intwest, and thus facilitate the conduct of the war.
Tbil extent is measured by the portion o ’ the field
of circulation: which these notes can be made to oc
cupy.
“The projortion of the field thus occupied de
pends again ipon the amount of the debts for which
they are reelvable, and when due not only to the
Confederate ind State Governments, but to corpo
rations ahdindviduals, and payable in this medium,
a large amoyit of it may Do circulated at par.
There is evev reason to believe that the Con
federate ticaury note is fast beooxning such a
medium. Thi provision that these notes shall be
convertible lib Confederate stock, bearing 8 per
cent, interest! at the pleasure of the holder, in
sures them agapst a depreciation below the value
of that stock,’and no considerable fail in that
value need befeared so long as the interest shall
be punctually pid.
“The pnnetud payment of this interest has been
secured by tht 'act passed by you at the last ses
sion, imposing sich a rate of taxation as must pro
vide sufficient nevus for that purpose.
“ For the suctestal prosecution of this war, it is
indispensable list tie means of transporting troops
and military Slipplie be furnished, as far aa possi
ble, in such manner ns not to interrupt the com
mercial intercourse between our people, nor to
place a check upon heir productive energies.”
In another part 01 the message, be says; “We
have already twdsmn systems of through trans
portation from the Nirth to the South—one from
Richmond along f»< seaboard, the other through
Western Virginiatofew Orleans. A third might
be secured by codpleing a link of forty miles be
tween Danville, il Yiginia, and Groenborough, in
North Carolina. Till construction of this com
paratively short line lould give us a through route
from North to South i the interior of the Confede
rate States, and gift b access to a population and
to many rcsonrcehfmh which we are now in a
great measure deiprrU.
“If,” he sayg,'flutter on, “we husband our
means find make a'jutoious use of our resources,
it would be diffioult Mix a limit to the period da
ring which wc could oiduct a war against the ad
versary whom we has to encounter. The very
efforts which he meki to isolate and invade us
must exhaust bis msoi, whilst they serve to com
plete the circle and divpify the productions of our
industrial system. Up reconstruction which he
seeks to effect by arn; becomes daily more and
more impossible. Notinly do the causes which
induced us to sepnratetill exist in full force, but
they have been strebjiimed; and whatever doubt
may have lingered in 'e minds of any must have
been completely dispelli by subsequent events.
“ If, instead of being! dissolution of a league,
it were indeed a rebellil in which wc are engaged,
we must find ample ymcntion for the course we
have adopted in the sties which are now being
enacted in the United Htes. Our people now look
with contemptuousastoijimenton those with whom
they have been so recent associated. They shrink
with aversion from the Ve idea of renewing such
a connection,” etc. “ jtb such a people we may
he content to live at pee; but the separation is
final, and l'or the indetidence we have asserted
we will acceptno alterna-e.”
Davis characterizes tl nature of the hostilities
on the part of the Unti States as “barbarous
wherever it is understoL If they convert their
soldiers into robbers, and involve
ns in a species of war whi claims non-combatants,
women, and children aits victims, they must
expect to be treated abutlaws and enemies of

fuses to regard them form his claim, if captured,
to be considered as a pri.ir of war, but must ex
pect to be dealt with as alffenders against ail law,
both human and divine. 1
“But not oontent with dating our rights under
the law of nations at ha, they lurra extended
these injuries to us withinlier jurisdictions, The
distinguished gentlemen trim, with your approval
at the last session, I noaumoned to represent the
Confederacy at certain feign courts, have been
seized by the captain ofX'nitod States ship, on
board a British steamer, r.tbelr voyage from the
neutral Spanish port of lljaftjtte England. The
United States have thus claimed a general jurisdic
tion over the high seas, and, by entering* British
*hii> sailing under its country’s flag, violated the
rights ftf Shib&d&y, for the roost jpart held sacred
even amongst barbarians, by seizing our ministers
whilst they were under the protection and within
the dominions of a neutral nation.
u These gentlemen were as much under the ju.
risdietion 6t tlid British Government upon that ship
and beneath its flag as if they had been on its soil;
and a claim on the part of the United States to seize
them in the streets of London would have been as
well founded as that to apprehend them where they
were taken. '
“ Had they been malefactors, or citizens even of
the United States, they could not have been ar
rested on a British ship or on British soil, unless
under the express provisions of a treaty, and ac
£6F«lixig to ILc forms therein provided for the extra
dition of criminals.’*
Uuviß speaks of Faulknor as having been per
fidiously' arrested, aud says; “In conducting this
war we have sought i)9 aid and proposed no alii,
ances, oflensive or defensive, abroad. IVo have
asked for a recognized place in the great family of
nations; but in so doing wo have demanded no
thing for which we did not offer a fair equivalent.
“ The advantages of intercourse are mutual among
nations, and in seeking to establish diplomatic re
lations we were only endeavoring to place this in
tercourse under the regulations of law.
“-Perhaps wo had the right, if we had chosen to
exercise it, to ask to fcaoir whether the principle
that Mot-hades, to be binding, must bo effectual, so
solemnly announced by the great Powers of Europe
at Paris, is to be generally enforced, or applied only
to particular parties.”
Davis soys h? h|lg '■ caused the evidence to bo col
lected which proves completely the utter ineffi
ciency of the proclaimed blockade of the Southern
coast, and ahull direct it to be laid before such Go
vernments as shall afford the means of being heard.
f «• But. although we should he benefited (lls wn*
imuos) by the enforcement of thirl Jaw, SO solemnly
declared by the great Powers of Europe, we are
not dependent on that enforcement for the success
ful prosecution of the war.
•‘ As long as hostilities continue, the Confederate

4; lf they should be forced to forego many of the
luxuries, and some of the comforts of life, they will
at least have the consolation of knowing tbflt they
«rc thus daily becoming more and more indepen
dent of the rest of the world. ? ‘
The message concludes as follows: “ While the
war; which is waged to take from us the right of
self-government, can attain that end. It re
mains to be seen how far it may work a revolution
in the industrial system of tne world, which may
carry suffering to other lands 03 well as our own.
;; In the meantime, wc shall continue this strug
gle, in humble dependence upon Providence, from
whose fcurcMog scrutiny wc cuuaot uonccul the

to know the strength that is given by a conscious

Comments of the Southern Tress, &c.
Tho Richmond Whig, in commenting on the
message of l)avis, says: tl AVe are two people from
this time forward. UVe are aware that the Yankees
are determined not to quit us, happen what may.
If they cannot conquer us, their calculation is that
they will be eonqyercd by ug, and they have made
up their minds to submit tamely to their fate. Well.,
if we must, we must, though wc shall have a great
aversion to the task. Our choice is, that, after
drubbing them soundly, nnd nmkiug them pny the
expenses of the war, Jura them loOfC upon them
selves, a prey to their own vile passions.”

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
The Battle at PUceton—A Soldier's Expe-
lienee in hie First Hattie.
The following lively description of the late battle
at Piketon, Kentucky, was furnished to the Cin
cinnati Press by a gentleman who received it from
a brother who was one of the participants in the
fight. Though not written in the form of journal
istic correspondence, we prefer to publish it as we
reeeire it. It cannot fail to be read with interest:
Camp “ Hopeless Chase,'’ Pikesville,
Pike County, Ky., Nov. 11,1861.
I take the first opportunity of writing to you that
I hAve had since I sent my last to you. I havo been
in an engagement, have heard the cold lead balls
fly past my ears; I have seen men struck dead by
my side by those same bolls, and yet, by the good
ness of God, have escaped unhurt.
Let mo now give you a full description of'the
fight. IVe marched from Salyersville the day after
I wrote my last, and, after marching one whole day
and a half, we arrived at Prestonburg, fording the
Big Sandy about amile from town. We staid there
two days, and then received orders to march to
thispia??, We were to start at 12 M,, everything
being got ready, os it was to be a forced march.
Norriß and myself got our horses ready, brought
them into the yard, and hitched them dp ready,
but near nightfall news came that we would not go
till the next day. “ Oh, how glad wo were that
we could have a little sleep.” W? went to hod,
leaving everything ready for the march, as we did
not know what might take place, or what might in
fluence Gen. Nelson.
It was well enough that we did so, for at 4
o’clock in the morning there came a rap at our
door! “Who comes there?” shouted Major Mc-
Cook. Cot. liarrisand Adjutant Yandegrit't Imme
diately got up and opened the door. “You must
all be ready to march in twenty minutes.” So up
we all sprung, and then began the hurrying. I
kept coo), and soon had everything ready. In less
than half an hour the whole brigade, over two
thousand strong, was ready to move. The Ken
tucky regiment in the advance. Then came the
“Bully Second,” and the remainder of the force
bringing up the rear. We took three days’ rations,
expecting to be back in that time.
On we marched, and after having past four or
fire miles of our distance, den. Nelson sent ordors
to throw oat our “ flankers,” and now came the
Second’s turn.. Out went two of our companies,
and they scoured the woods and mountains, climb
ing, creeping, jumping and leaping through the un
derbrush ; over logs, stems of trees, over rocks,
and over rills, more like squirrels than men; now,-
you could see them through the foliage, as they,
half walked, half crept, half ran. After two hours?
duty the skirmishers were withdrawn, and on we
went, as brisk as larks on our march. We made.
a shert hot about eight o'clock A, M,. to givetho.
men breakfast: after which wc took up our marehr
ing again. As wo were marching throu^,some,
open woods our scouts caught sight of some thirty
or forty cavalry. They fired, and it waxreturnea
by us. Just then our cannon came up and. opened
on them . After three or four rounds..j|ist as. we
were getting their range, they dispersed. After
examining their position, wo found that no. barm
had been done on either side. Now the battle

were marching along a road cut Ipto-the solid rock,
on ono side a steep bank, sev«uty-fivo fOet high,
and on the other side a perpendicular rock from
twenty to forty-five feet high,, above which the hill
run up about nine hundred or one thousand feet,
very steep. Tlio rebels were po&cfl on ft kind o£‘
embankment, and had strengthened it by piling,
rocks in the front. They were about soventyJtaS
or eighty yards from the road, and when the Ken
tucky regimonls came in a good view they let. fliy a
volley, killing four and wounding oloveu.. They
were thrown into confusion, when our men, the
Second, came np; and now oommeuccd th,° tight in
earnest, our men firing up at them, and they firing
down at us; their halls rattled about oui- men’s
ears thick and fast. Now our artillery came up
and opened fire; they throw a few shells into the
woods and on the first ridge, hut wo did not yet
know just where they were, and we shot over thorn.
'At (hi? period of the fight n company o? xcVU

who had succeeded in getting on the other side,
got position in n cornfield, and commenced dropping
their balls about us, in rather too Close a proximity
! for our well-being. Now our men turned in
jin right good earnest. Colonel Harris coming
! up, he sent fire companies up the hill. Up,
up they went, firing and loading ns they
climbed. lie rebels soon gave out, and retirod
to the first ridge, bat they were soon com
pelled to flee from that also, and retired further
up, to the second ridge, and as our men reached
them, they tied in hopeless confusion, 'l'he rebels
boring their position in it cornfield, trero treated,
respectfully, with a few shells and a couple of vol
leys or so of bullets, when they also fled, leaving
the field in our complete possession. Our brigade
less is thirteen killed and mortally wounded, and
about thirtY-fivc wounded slightly and otherwise.
You trill perceive it was quite a battle, (although
ttio loss was not so very groat,) and we ull think so.
Wo have found fifteen of the rebels killed, and
some twenty-fire wounded ; so, as far as v;e /. non’.
the loss ie about equal ifi numbers. Wc do not
know for certain what their logs was. I only speak
froin what we do know. Our loss was not from
their bravery, but from their wonderfully strong
natural position ; and the surprise ia that our loss
was not grantor, especially when we examine the
plflh of the ground. On equal ground, where
would they have been ? Annihilated ! As it is,
we call it a great victory. All hail to the glorious
Stars and Stripes ! Long may they wave, and be
the ensign to lead us on to victory,‘a&d peace, and
happiness.
And now for my share in the battle I was riding
along somewhat carelessly, when crack! crack!

a hero —loading and firingjust as if he was on pa*
retdr. when whiz ! whiz ! comes a bullet. M3' God !
how closet It almost gtuuned me! When I l&oked
toward my soldier, I saw his comrades lifting him
up. He was shot through tho breast, he died in less
than half an hour. Oh! the horrors of war!
Vengeance on the heads of those who initiate it.
I directed 1113- attention up the hiil; a little puff
oF smoke was dying away. **Boy.?, ?J says Ito the
.-quad of his fellows, <{ you see that smoke: aim for
it. a rebel sin its rear.” I raised my Enfield and
glanced through its sights, when I for a moment
caught sight of a man through the bushes and smoke
there. Ornofe \ wont nur guns, asd all was over.
It e crossed to the place afterward and found tho
man”.- body. He had four out of twelve musket
ball.*, and one Enfield rifle ball—mine, as mine was
the only rifle hall fired. They all went through
him: cither of which would kav* killed him—
mine through his breast. Thank God ! 1 had done
my duty for the poor fellow who fell beside me.
Now the firing grew so I went up the road
and found Henry, and we, with John llow, second
lieutenant of company A; with some forty skirmish
ers, took a little rtconnoissanco up the creek, (Joy
Creek.) We caught sight of six or seven'rebel?
running' up a hill; we levelled ourpieces, butthey
got behind the trees and out of sight, and nltbough
wo fired, we were not certain we killed, although
hHU« have hit somebody, as we found blood.
As I ran along to get a shot, I picked up a revolver
and a double-barreled shot gun. The revolver
will do me service, as I was lacking one. We now
returned to the battle-field, and I counted eight
corpses in on? hundred and fifty yards, and twelve
wounded, mi of me Kentucky regiment. The loss
of the Second was two killed and thirteen wounded;
and so it was, as I said before, a considerable battle.
X find that the rebels bad only one hundred and
fifty men well armed with Minio rifles, the re
inainder with squirrel rifles, shot guns, Ac. We
kDow that they lost 10 killed and 28 wounded.
Their number killed, we know, too, was much
larger than ours, which is owing to our superior
weapons that shatter terribly with their balls Our
entire loss in the brigade was 51 killed, o mortally
wounded, and 3t not seriously. Allowance must
be made for us not making a greater destruction of
the rebels', to the position of their ground, which
gave a decided advantage in a battle of this kind.
If they bnd had effective weapons, the los® would
have been terrible on the part of the Kentucky
regiment, and also pretty considerable in ours. If
our positions bad been changed, we could have
wiped them out of existence.
We mnrehed, after the battle, about three miles
and encamped. The next morning we started
early, in the midst of a terrible rain, which con
tinued all day. It was one of tho heaviest falls of
rain I ever saw, and I had a most disagreeable
ride) and, to odd to the discomfort, the Secesh had
cut down some thirty trees across the road, and'wc
had to move them before we could proceed. It de
layed us a long time. We came across twrrbarrcls
of applebrandy, which Major McCook-stove in for
fear they were poisoned. (.Wo are aim?;! Certain
they were, as the rebels tout been inquiring.for
arsenic along the road; so we had- 1 »• pretty sure
thing on them.) When we encamped at night we
wt-re-ull wet through to fne xrwas~completely
saturated: but, for all that, slept well;.and do not
feel any inconvenience fr?ui jt; indeed,,! feel in.
Tery good health, saving a- tftffle cold.
When we arrived here, we found l that the de
tachment that had started; the afternoon before us
had had a little skirmish, killing sis and-wounding,
two of the rebels, without any loss-.iv-hi.tover on our
side. W> expect t? follow them, in a.dav or two.
when our baggage comes from Ptestonburg, and it'
we overtake them, I assure you we shall give them,
fire and death.
From Crab- Orchard?
We learn that Gen. Schoepfs- brigade has re
ceived orders to march from Crab. Orchard toward
Columbia, on the road to Bowling Green, and that
they intend to start on the Mth, and, more' leisurely,
keeping in condition for attack, at any moment.
There is a strong desire throughout the brigade to
have an Ohio brigadier in. place of Seboepf. This
does not arise from any particular-lack of Confidence
in the present commander., who.is represented as
competent, but the soldiers-wouldigenerally prefer,
a native of this State.

Serenade to Col. F. P. Blair,
The St. Louis Evening iYcw-v says
Tho friends of Col. V. P. Blair treated that gen
tteman to a serenade, oo a recent occasion, as a
mark of their esteem, and as a welcome to him oa
bis return from Washington. Colonel Blair wn,
stopping at the residence of Benji)tgiH Farrar, on
Foui-th street, between Blj» and Myrtle; and
thither tho main crowd, bearing transparencies,
and preceded by Boehm’s fine brass band, repaired
about half past nine o’clock—it number of Colonel
Blair’s personal friends having previously in
this hbrarv of the dwelling tO gTCCt bitlß Tllo
large crowd having halted around the door and in
the street, the band played "The Star-spangled
Banner, 1 _ with great spirit and beauty, after which
loud calls for Blnir tfsr ? jnnds, (Jtrlonol Blair
made his appearance on tho stop?, when Colonel
Fletcher, in a few words, tendered him the welcome
of the crowd on his return to the citv. In rente
Colonel Blair said: J 1 r '
I thimk you most heartily and sincerely, my
friends, for this compliment, mid assure you that I
value it highly. Ido not feel that I have done
anything to deserve such a marked expression of
your favor and regard. I have not done much to
advance the cause of tho Union in ivhiah we are &&-
gaged ; but I can, and do claim, all the merit that
a cordial enlistment in that cause, find im ardent
support of it may entitle me to. I have never, for
one moment, doubted the success of that cause. £
have never, like some gonUimnm. allowed myself
to despnir of the safety of the Republic and the tri
umph of the Union; and I never will despair of
them because some individual happens to be disap
pointed. The safely of the country does not de
pend upon any one man. One man canned save It.
nor can one man subvert it. It rests upon the peo
ple, and I mu firmly convinced that they can and
will uphold it.
I presume, my friends, that this compliment has
some refcicnije (? recent events in this oitv, in
which I took an active part On that subject I
will say that I have no regrets to express, and no
apologies to.make; J had hone to make in the pre-
TetfCcwf wraMd. nOwar, ud in hood.: and whatever
might have been the iSueof‘(fic’'aKsh- | wo.4l»CTaA.nr
force could have wrung from ins an apology or con
cession. What I did I did from a sincere desire to
serve God and my country, and I believe I faith
fully served both. I have the satisfaction of know
ing that the Administration Approved my conduct,
ami I am convinced the nation will approvo it also.
As'to the newspapers in this city, in tho pay of
the Quartermaster's Department,' that have been
hounding after me, I have but little to say. If the
P,nn'ltUm< is a Union paper, as it professes to be.
it is due to the fact that one of its proprietors was
arrested at Camp Jackson, and made to take the
oalh of allegiance ; and if there is any merit in its
conversion to Unionism, I am entitled to a share of
the credit. And if the proprietor of the pcjnihUctlll,
captured nt Camp Jackson, should again become
disloyal, it will be owing to bis release from bis
oath by a late stipulation for the exchange of the
Camp Jackson prisoners for the brave men of Mul
ligan s Brigade.
As to the Democrat I hardly give it a thought.
It told so many lies in my favor, in the past, that I
suppose it is trying now to get even, by telling as
many against me. But Ido not believe it will live
long enough to bnlanco tho account. But. gentle
men. I will not prolong my remarks, but again
thunk you for your kinditeia, had bid you adieu.

it becomes generally known that the English army

the English mercantile marine and the- English

when you see the entire drus-circle of England is

The boxes breathe hostility, but the galleries are

War between England and America is absurd,
simply because when the war cabinet doolftfel war

of England will net fight the-people of America;
but the leaders are doing their best to egg them on
to bloodshed. Thfe driver of the stage coach can

But the Premier fears that he cannot jump off in

a rotten state—nobody knows- anybody;. German
polities are equally mixed ; French politics are
muddyßussian politics are rather hazy, while
American politics are divided- into- the party of
traitors and the party of patriots.
There are more of the former in-Europe than the
