open rebellion against the Government to which he
is accredited.
A Baring Exploit.
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.
The generous liberality which has characterized
this Express Company, also the uniform civility and
good-will of all employees concerned in receiving
or delivering the goods, has greatly facilitated my
labors and abated iny cares ; indeed, but for this
essential sid I should have found iny moans of use
fulnes in the regimental, brigade, and general hos
pitals greatly abridged. May the prosperity of
those who so willingly advance these humane en
deavors be in a measure with their good works.

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. . A little sister, some few
years older, who witnessed the catastrophe, suc
ceeded in extricating the unfortunate child from
her perilous position, and saved her from more
frightful injuries, if not immediate death.—llolli

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.

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.
