Among the many instances where the bravery of our officers and men has shown conspicuous, the one wc copy from the Boston Gazette is almost un equalled : _ Captain gponccr, aid to General tVool, received information from two ladies, who went frem Nor folk to Fortress Monroe with a flag of truce, that ! near midnight a six-oared boat was to leave Nor folk for Richmond with money for the payment of ! the rebel soldiers. He requested permission of Ma- i jor General Wool to attempt their capture, and was f told not to place too much confidence in the infor- : mation received. Nevertheless, permission was j given, and selecting two good oarsmen on whom j he could rely, with their oars raufilcd, ho start ed at dark and awaited the coming df the one- . my ? s boat. He had previously given direc- j iions to his men to pull directly for the boat, and on the moment of striking to “back water*'* instantly. About midnight the boat Was heard apprcftehing, and taking his station in the bows, with a nine-inch shell iu his hands, he gave the order to “give way.” The moment his bows struck the rebel boat, he threw the shell into the middle of it, and was himself drawn back, luckily receiving no injury from the explosion. Kot so the boat and occupants, however, the former of which was broken in two, and the latter were scattered in all directions in the water, not, how ever, before discharging their pistols at him, two balls going through his cap, ana three perforating bis coat. The men were then told that if they sub mitted quietly they would be saved, otherwise ho would leave them to their fate. They preferred the former, and aiming himself with his pistol in one hand, a dirk {taken by him at the battle of Bull J Run from a “secesh 5! ) in the other, he took them in his boat one by one, handcuffing them as they were pulled in. In addition to which from the stem ol' the enemy’s boat, which floated, he took $l,lOO In gold, and so,ooo in their worthless paper money. It was with some difficulty he rcachod the fort, the gunwale of the boat being almost lovol with the water with its increased weight. Floyd Rascality—A New Case Come to The Washington Pejutbfican. of ycsterdaj T . says: On Monday, the 25th instant, by direction of the Secretary of Wftf, tli6 Vvcvo soot for ward from the Engineer Burcnu,in charge of Gene ral Totten, for the commencement of the new fort at the mouth of the Kennebec river in Maine. In 3507, Congress appropriated §lOO,OOO for the com mencement of this fort, the importance of which will be readily understood when it is known that the city of Augusta, the capital of tho State of Maine, the important commercial pork of Bath, the cities of Gardiner and Hallowell, and other import ant towns, lie above the proposed fort, ou the Ken nebec river. The title to all but one-eighth of the property to be occupied for the 3ite was secured by purchase, through the efforts of the United States District At torney for Maine, at that time held by Cot. George F. Shcplcy, now in command of the Twelfth Kegi inent of Maine volunteers. The remaining eighth was held by a person who, many years ago, went to California, and had not returned, and could not be foupfl, Vnser these circumstances, it was thought prudent to take the land, or condemn it, under the statute, and call in the county commissioners for an appraise. Mr. Shcplcy thereupon advised the War Office of the matter, and requested Mr. Secretary Floyd to send to him the properly-authenticated certificate, under the seal of the War Department, of the taking of the land for the purpose named. This formal taking would vest the title in the Govern ment of the United States, and enable the engineer officers to proceed with the construction of the fort. Secretary Floyd sent on an informal paper to tho district attorney, authorizing the taking of the pro perty. Mr. Sliepley replied at once that the paper lacked the proper formality, was without a seal, and provided a paper, carefully drawn, for the purpose—requesting Secretary Floyd to sign and seal the paper, and return it to him for record. Floyd replied, in substance saying : If my former paper is not satisfactory. I shall not trouble myself further; and he threw the whole thing aside—not willing, apparently, that the money should be ex pended on a fort in Maine, Thus matters stood till tho arrival of Messrs. Hamlin. Williams, and Toor, commissioners from Maine, in reference to the coast defences. They in vestigated this matter fully, found the papers in the office of the engineer, brought the matter to the attention of the Government, and procured the favorable action of the Secretary of AY nr. On the return of Gen. Totten to his office, the proper pro ceedings were taken, and, on Saturday last, Gen. Cameron executed the proper papers, 'which, after being recorded in the War Department, were sent forward by the Engineer Bureau, through Captain Kurtz , and the work of construction put in progress. It is expected the stono work will be prepared this winter, and the work finished next year, or put for ward with all the despatch requisite to its early completion. Acknowledgments. The following card of acknowledgments from Miss Dix, is a just tribute to the patriotism of an enterpri ing company, whoso labors since tho com mencement of the rebellion have been freely and gratuitously devoted to the cause of the Union : The long-continued courtesy extended by the Adams Express Company at large, for several years post, in conveying, free of charge, packages of books, Ac.. Ac., for the benefit of the yarioug eleemosynary institutions of the United States, claims public acknowledgment, and to this grateful expression must now be added notice of a wide and much heavier obligation through the gratuitous r ansportation of numerous bales and boxes (for five m6iilh§ past) to various parts of the Northern States, containing stores and supplies of clothing for comfort and use of sick and disabled soldiers in military hospitals in diverse parts of the Northern States, but especially for those in and near Wash ington, D* C.

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS* Hydrophobia.— A calf, three months old, bo longing to Zephnnin Force, of Lower Makcfield, was attacked with hydrophobia on the 17th inst. Attention was first directed to it by its constant bawling like an animal lost from its companions, walking about the field, foaming at the mouth, and refusing to eat. One of the neighbors saw a strange dog bite it in the field about three weeks previous. He also bit several dogs before he was killed. One of these was killed immediately; another, belong ing to a colored man, was allowed to run at large for about two weeks, when he began to act very strangely. He had previously been very playful with a cat about the house, but at this time he be came so much excited and cross at the sight of Lt that they were obliged to take it entirely out of his presence. He was allowed to sleep in the kitchen that night, find in the morning |fc found that a chair cushion, filled with feathers, had been torn to pieces by him; as soon as the house was opened he found his way to the room where the children were sleeping, and attacked them savagely while they were in bed. They finally drove him out without being injured. He then left the house and has not been heard of since. —Doylestovm Intel* Singular and Distressing Accident. A five-year old child, daughter of German parents, named Densler, residing in the East ward of Al toona, met with a shocking accident on Saturday afternoon, 16th inst., under the following singular circumstances: During the absence of the parents, the child attempted to obtain some walnuts which had been placed under the cooking-stove (a two story affair) to dry, and, in her efforts to do so, displaced one of the legs, causing the stove to fall upon her, burning and bruising lier very severely —a kettle of boiling water., at the same time, up setting and drenching her completely, scalding her in a shocking manner. .

Dkar Snt: We have learned this morning with much pleasure of your return, upon a yi«t of a few days, to your family. YYithout wishing to appro priate to ourselves an undue portion of the time which n brief respite from jour duties in tho field may place at your disposal, we beg, on bohalf of your fellow-citizens, to suggest the propriety of your affording them an opportunity of taking you by the hand and reassuring you of thoir continued confidence in your ability and patriotism. It will give them no small gratification if it should be in your power to name a day upon which they may tender you the compliment of a public dinner. You will permit us to express the hope that your presence in Philadelphia may be only preparatory to assuming your seat in the Congress which is about to assemble. Tho eireumstanoes attending your recent election to this body, tho strong decla ration of the wishes and expectations of your con stituents, in conferring upon you, during your ab sence with the army and without solicitation on your part, a position attendod at this time with pe culiar responsibility, arc, wo trust, suck as may in duco you to relinquish, at least for the present, that military life in which, through more than one campaign, you have alroady earned a just dis tinction.

Parsons, Josiah Randall, George W. Biddle, G. M. YVhnrton, G. M. Dallas, C. Ingersoll, Aud 6thdPs. To the Honorable George M. Dallas, Charles J. In gersoll, Peter McCall, John Cadwalader, George Shnrswood, A. V. Parsons, Frederick Fraley, Ilemy M. Phillips, Esqs., and others. Gextlemex ; I have bad the pleasure to receive, to-day, your communication, and bog you to accept my thanks for tho flattering terms in which you have expressed your views upon what has boon, to me, a subject of anxious reflection. It ka& been my earnest desire, at this great junc ture in our national affairs, to give my humble ser vices where they may be most useful to my coun try. WitH this purpose I took the field, and hold ing, during the period of the extra session, u sepa rate and Important command, I did not feel at li berty to quit it to take the seat in Congress to which you had, in my absence, elected me. I have come, for a day or two, from tho great camp in front of Washington, where 1 couimaud a regiment tbal has been to me a source of the high est pride and satisfaction, and I shall leave it with feelings of regret that I will not attempt to express here. Bat, I yield to the representations of the wishes of my constituentSj convoyed to me in your letter and in other forms, i shall, therefore, ten der, through the proper authorities, the resignation of my military commission from the State, and, as your Representative, will return to Washington. It is true that, according to high authorities, I might at once hold the two positions; but it is piftlu that I could not perform the duties of both, and, waiving the bare legal question, it seems to me to be incompatible with the charaoter of a representa tive and a legislator to be a paid officer, subject to the prdsrs of tho Eseoutiro, mid prosont in his place only by the revocable leave of a military su perior. I have, therefore, reached the conclusion that your representative must not now be thus tram melled ,* yet. should tho k tide of war, indeed, roll around the National capital, I hope that my broth reh-in-arius will find room In their ranks for one soldier more. My political opinions arc what they have always been. lam a Democrat—never more one than at this hour. I rejoice that it was with my name upon your burners that you overthrow the ltepublican party in this city. When I say I am a Democrat, I do not mean that I belong to any knot of politicians. Whon 1 say I am a Democrat, I mean that I have ever maintained those national principles which, under God, made and preserved PS a nation; those great natiewd principles of justice and equality for all the States which, so long as they were practised, mado our various institutions and interchangeable commodi ties bonds of strength and union rather than grouuds for strife. This, at least, we may say for tho Democratic party—it rated at their true value tho fantastic theories, the whimsies, the 45 isms,” the questions of mere phraseology, that men, calling themselves statesmen, have preferred to peace, to union, to the gradual progress and development of each section, and all races in due relation to natural causes. This, too, we may say for the Democratic party— while it maintained its sway, “ Secession” was a little, baffled clique ; as the Republican party rose, “Secession 1 ' became u an army with banners.” Nor was the foresight of the Republican leaders wider than their patriotism. The false prophets of the party promised their followers that three months should see the end of all the trouble; and when war came upon them even then they wanted only three-months volunteers to end it. They created and fostered that intoxicating self-confidence that was the cause of our oarlior reverses. They had so persistently abueed that part of the American people that lived across a geographical line, that they had come at lost to underrate and despise tbem.and Republican oratory summoned its hearers not to stern, encounters, but only to pays and pil lage. When the national flag was struck down at Charleston, and the national capital was threatened by Secession, the North rose like one man. The world saw with astonishment the great uprising of tho people; Europe prejudged the issue in our fa vor: jul as if Emitten with blindnoss, tho Ropub* lican leaders seemed striving to waste and dissipate, instead of to seize and use, the noble material for great armies which was, with scarcely any limit, placed at their disposal. The soldier who offered himself for the public service found that he must ear-wig some politician before he could be allowed the privilege to fight or die for his country. Mon began to say that the war was to be made “ a Black Republican job.” Politicians were put at the head of troops —poli- ticians WllO thought that to wear lace and feathers, and to pocket pay, was the whole duty of the vtn cer—feasting and frolicingand speech-making took the place of training and discipline; and while the officer spouted and revelled, the rank and file were robbed of their first right—the right to skilful guidance and instruction. The reins wore nomi nally put into the hands of a venerable chioftain; but every politician, every “able editor,” took a pull at them, till they up3et the coach. Amid shouts of “On to Richmond,” the North, with its teeming population, found itself outnum bered at every point of conflict, and the battle of Bull Run proved that the Administration had known neither its own strength nor the enemy’s. “ Where then were our legions?” we may well ask of it. But the battle of Bull Run was not without its fruits ior us. Panic-stricken selfishness seeking sell-preservation, lighted on those who could save it. The direction of the army passed into the hands of soldiers. A General, born here among us, restored to their due supremacy the that insure success in war; trained and competent officers second his efforts, scores of imbeciles have keen pushed out of service; and this good work still progresses. The Democratic party will sustain the men—the McClellans, the Duponts—who have in charge the honor of our flag on land and sea. Lot, every where! the people put in office men who will not see the war again become “ a party joblet tho administration of the Government be such as to at tract, not repel, the doubtful States. Then the contest may be continued with success, and ended with honor. We may yet see the authors of our national troubles, those twin fomenters of discord — the Abolitionist of the North and the Secessionist of the South —reduced again to the harmless insig nificance in which the Democracy long held them. And if the event baffles these hopes, the Govern ment that embraces the great, rich, and populous States of the North, must sink to no humble, no degraded, place among the nations. National pros perity is too nearly allied to national dignity to suffer us to stand in the relation of the vanquished to those who never can secede from geographical connection; with whom close relations, warlike or amicable, must continue always. The Democratic party sought to keop the peuco among the States with honor to them all; but while the war lasts, into Which the Abolitionists of the North and the “ precipitationists” of the South have hurried us, let us demand that a firm and wise administration of the Government shall evoke and honestly apply our military resources, in which the nations most famous in arms have not surpassed nor equalled us. In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say that I am deeply sensible of tbo honor of representing this old city; for our district is the old city that our fathers knew and loved. As your representative, I will exercise the righ of free speech, aDd will strive to maintain, for all, the cherished rights, the enjoyment of which con stitutes civil liberty. My stay here does not allow me to accept the compliment of a public dinner, to which you do me the honor to invite me. To see you and other valued friends will at all times afford the greatest pleasure to Respectfully and truly your o’bbscrv’t* Charles J. Biddle. An Act Relative to Prison Discipline.
