Captain Archibald 11. Ferguson recalled.—l was in the camp of the Twenty--W- New York Volun teen, about the 2 - 4th of October ; I recollect about that date, after the hours of tattoo, there.were four or fire, I cannot say whether they were officers or mess-men, who sat near the colonel's tent ; jitdge4 from the wand, they were singing in a loud, boisterous manner, seemed to be intoxicated ; called for the colonel to come out and take a drink, bat don't think be did so ; I don't remember any dis pute about that time; there were a good many drunken men about camp i this occurred about the 14th of October ; the surgeon of Company B had a difficulty with the lieutenant about that time ; the former was struck on the head, and carried to the guard-house: I was not outside of my tent the night of the disturbance in front of the eolo_ net's tent, and did not see it ; I fell asleep while the noise continued, and did not see the colonel interiere to stop it ; the day pre tieue to, and the day of the review, the condi of the um was much behind other regiments of the brigade in general order and. discipline; the men lacked proper respect towards their officers in a very great degree and there was more or less drunkenness among them ; there was also some lit tle dog-gelting I knew of no efforts to abolish these practices in camp, or in any way to correct them ; the camp was near Hall's Hill, Virginia ; the review took place about the middle of October ; the uniforms of the men were very ragged ; they were yery meek in wan t o f p en .. towel's ; most of them were worn out; as many as five men in each company did no duty on account of baring no shoes ; none of the men appeared with their persons exposed, to my knowledge. linjor _Henry 11, Sum recalled.—l was at Camp Smith on the 14th and 15th of October, at Hall's Rill, or Upton's Hill, Virginia ; I could not say that there was anything unusual in the conduct of the men at that time; there had been disorderly language and disturbance; I saw some men drunk and fighting, which had frequently been the ease before ; I would not call that an unusual oc currence ; I wish the court to bear in mind that there were only a few men in the regiment who noted ; I did not sae the 11.88110.4 lnlerfere to stop these occurrences ; there was a review about that time ; on the day of the review, the men were not, as far as I could see, unsoldierlike in appear ance; they were commanded by the colonel, after I laud tweed around to present arms to tile general ; I had command before that. Cross-examined.—Q. Did you see the disorderly conduct spoken of by the judge advocate, and, if se, di& you eitileaVev to stets it ? A. I Gould not say whether I stopped that par ticular one or not; I have stopped many disturb ances in our camp ; I did not report the matter to Col. Kerrigan, 1 4Calige iic Wit 4 on the ground; the colonel's tent was quite oloselo the men's in our camp ; I cannot say whether the officer of the guard took any notice of it ; the accused was in camp when the men were drunk and made disturbances ; the mea were not well clothed, but, as far as I know, it was the fault of the quartermaster.

Barry's Rocket Battalion, organized as light artil lery, arrived in this city a day or two since, front Albany, and proceeded to the seat of war last atiall , ing. This battalion is understood to be the first of its kind ever organized. The novelty of its plan of operations, the peculiarity of the apparatus em ployed, and the destructive character of the pro jectiles, combine to reader the corps of a destructive character. The battalion is commanded by Major Thomas W. Lyon, and is composed of two companies of eighty men each. One of the companies was en listed in county, in this State., and tke other in Wyoming and Monroe counties. The com panies are commanded by Captains Ransom and Lee. Although the principles employed in the con struction of these batteries, and particularly of the Frejoctlie, arc kept entirely mesa, and, as far as their use in this country is concerned, are Govern ment property, the following general details, de rived from one of the officers of the battalion, may proporly be published 11 Each battery comprises four rocket guns and four caissons The guns are of very peculiar construc tion, formed in sections which may be detached or united with the greatest ease. Each section cul tists of two rings or collars, to which arc attached the ends of iron bars, spirally twisted, and the whole forming a tube. Three of these tubes united comprise the gun. No carriage is used, but in its place a stand. on which the pal may be eleVated or a 9 pro cd. x air stand is light and portable ; easily carried by one man. The gun is breech-loading, and no charge need be used except that contained in the missile itself. Tka Pocket of a vary eemptex construction, made in long tubes. The largest are thirty-two inches in length. There are many sizes and vari ous descriptions. The tubes have three or four Chambers or compartmentL The posterior cham ber contains the powder which acts as the propel ling agent. The others contain the explosive mix ture' and a fuse is so arranged as to keep up the rotary motion communicated by the spiral barrql, and at the eume tune to increase the velocity or me projectile. The rocket may be used as a fire ball, a percussion shot, or a bomb shell. The range of the rocket is from five hundred yards to five thousand three hundred yards, aocord log to size and power. The smallest rocket weighs ten pounds. and the largest two hundred. pounds. With the two-hundred-pound rocket a mark no larger than the mast of a ship may be hit three times out of four, at a distance of three thousand yards, The firing can be very rapidly performed. There is tuna facility in loading, the rocket being inserted at the breech of the gun. These rockets are ranked among this most terri ble engines of war in existence. When the missile of medium size is in motion, a body of fire, fifteen inches in diameter, produced by the spiral fuse, accompanies it, filling the air in every direction. It may be so arranged ag to produce a eentinuous and almost inextinguishable fire, consuming every combustible substance with which it comes in con tact ; or it can be exploded in the air, falling in burning fragments ; or, by atlixinil a percussion cap, may be made to burst at the instant of fall ing. Of course, being lighter it has not the same power as the bombshell ordinarily used, but its destructive capacity is infinitely greater than a bomb. PnnsoNer..—Amon; the arrivals today are Baron Road, Russian Minister at Washington ; Mr. Do Romance, Director of the Siberian Tele graph, at the Clarendon ; Commodore Inman, of the navy, at the St. Nicholas ; Ex-Governor Fair banks, ofVermont, and Dr. Shipley, of the navy. at the Fifth avenue; Lieut.

Besides these, small shipments of patent balls and projectiles are daily forwarded to the capital. Cartridges being in great demand, a large number of workmen are engaged in the Washington arsenal in manufactu• ring them.
