John Ericsson
Our excellent friend John Bull, failing in his
purpose of Axing on Captain COLES the inven
tion' of the cupola iron-war steamers, (inas
much as Enicssox proposed his plans to NA
POLEON in 1851, while Come came with a inco ,
diflcation of the idea in 1855,) now has claimed
Captain ERICSSON as English by nativity and
education. Thereupon, one of his indignant
countrymen has written an indignant letter to
one of the London papers to this effect : "Mr.
ERICSSON was born and educated in Sweden,
and TOW to the rank of captain in the Swedish
army before he left his native country—first
for England, and afterwards for America. He
has a brother in Sweden, Colonel ERICSSON,
Vl3lO is the chief engineer over the Swedish
railways."
The Illustrated Times, one of the fairest and
hut e6l3dilektl Lauds weekly 134116Y5,
gives a brief memoir of Captain EaressoN,
which states his birth to have occurred in ISO 3,
and adds that from the age of ten years, and
until and during his becoming a captain in the
Swedish army, he so distinguished himself by a
large number of mechanical and scientific in
ventions, all ingenious and many exceedingly
useful, that Count PLATEN, the eminent diplo=
matist, predicted his future great success as
an inventor. Prom 18:20 to 180, EliMlso2l
- in England, where he attempted to intro
duce his invention of a flame-engine, ( which we
saw at work, in Birmingham, in 18210 where
he first applied to marine engines centrifugal
blowers, now so common in America, in all
boilers using anthracite coal; and whore, at
the competition of locomotive engines, on the
formation of the Liverpool and Manchester
Railroad, his own engine, the "Novelty,"
though it did not win the prize, attained a
speed of 30 miles an hour—a speed far higher
than its successful rival, GEORGE STEPHENSON'S
—Rocha," did then attain. In 1641, through
the influence of Commodore STOCKTON, he was
allowed to carry out his plans in the construc
tion of the United States war frigate POiS6hibiz,
which was the first vessel that steam was ever
introduced into with the works below the
water-line, and out of the ma& of shot. His
subsequent inventions, culminating in the
Monitor, have been numerous and practicable,
as well as ingenious.
Tile very name of the Monitor is a grave re
proach to England. In a letter addressed to
the Secretary of the Navy at Washington,
Captain En.icssos said that "the iron-clad in
truder he had constructed—she was launched
on the 101st working-day from the time she
was commenced—would be a true Jlesiter to
the rebel leaders," and added : But there
are other leaders who will also be startled and
admonished by the booming of the guns from
the impregnable iron turret. Downing street
will hardly view with indifference this last
Yankee notion—this Monitor. To the Lords
of the Admiralty the new craft will be a
Monitor,' suggesting doubts as to the pro
priety of completing those four steel-clad ships
at three millions and a half apiece,"
The London journal already referred to (il
lustrated Times) gives the key to this. It says
" ERICSSON, the contriver of the Monitor, is a
Swede i he was in England some years ago,
and was in communication with the Admiralty,
but was considered a mere scientific dreamer—a
21).0 MILO' of was F elady
bowed out." Well, Time at last does set all
things even, and brings about its own re-
TengeS. The British Admiralty sneered at
ERICSSON'S impracticability, and lo inp
vents a Marine steam-battery which reduces . '
the , c it TValls of Old England" into
noucntit;„-.
The Negro Emigration Bugaboo.
[For 'Dr Prfse
The Pacckinridgers have raised a howl about tIIU
President's plau of emancipation and the law re
cently passed by Congress in accordance therewith.
They are laboring to alarm the simple and thought
less, as well as the laboring white masses, with the
idea that we shall be "overrun with niggers" and
crowded out with the ao refugee niggers" from the
slave States; that our good old Quaker and Dutch
Commonwealth will be Africonized, and that
Northern laborers will be starved out of house and
home. Let us look this electioneering canard in
the face, and see iipoa w h e t aloudor foundations
they seek to play upon the credulity of the people.
By the census of 1800, Maryland had a population
of 7.31,000, of whom 85,000 were slaves and 90,000
free blacks. Virginia had 1,832,000 people ; of
whom 50,000 were free blacks and 495,000 slaves.
Fifty per cent. of the inhabitants of Virginia were
Pegroel, Over thirty per cent. of the population
of Maryland were also negroes.
Pennsylvania had a population of 2,910,000, of
whom 50 ; 000 are free negroes. This gives less than
two per cent_ of negro infusion in our present popu
lation.
If, however, ALL the slaves in Maryland and
Virginia were to be liberated to-day, and to emi
grate in a body to-morrow to PetiliViWahla, (al
though no one can seriously allege that the free
negroes all wish or intend to emigrate to Pennsyl
vania;) we should then have 580,000 contrabands in
our State and this would give, with our present
free black population, 600,000. This number dif
fused through our State, as it is in Maryland and
Virginia, would give klAt 22 per cent, of negro in.
fusion ; whilst Maryland, to-day, has 20 per cent.
of negroes, and Virginia 50 per cent.
Does any sensible man for a moment think the
negroes en masse would come to this State ? We
all know that if this laboring population were taken
from Maryland and Virginia the lazy whites would
starve, and the States again become a wilderness,
US many parts of lower Virginia arc this d a y f or
the deer and wild turkey are again the tenants
on thousands of acres of abandoned lands on the
James and•ether rivere emptying IMO the Chesa
peake bay.
Thousands and tens of thousands of our brave
soldiers will settle on the abandoned lands of the
Routh, and infuse vigor and enemy tlirctishout !Le
land of slavery.
The lovers of the " peculiar institution" have
more to fear from free risers than we have from
slaves,

HAYMARKET, Va., May 1, 1862
This village was formerly the county seat of Prince
William county, located twelve miles on the line of the
Menesene Crap nollrowl west of the junction, and is now
occupied by Company H . , Coulter's Eleventh Penneylva
nia Regiment. The other companies composing Colonel
-Coulter's command are stationed at Salem, White Plains,
I , l,6eaughfse.le.p, sad CAIE6IIO.I4_ Thi, Week emd of the
road is in charge of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania,
Colonel Geary commanding. .
This is rather a poor section of country, and there is
much betonl tuffeilnz moons the people on necollut et
the war. Fully one-half of all able-bodied men, residing
here, are now in the rebel army, and those belonging to
the F. F. V.'s are, of course, in command. Among them
are four BMA of the late Judge Tyler, Dr. Grayson, Dr.
Hamilton, and Squire Lewis. All these reside near this
place, and Company H is already attending to the pro
perty left behind by them. They have during the'last
few days captured 8 horses, one army wagon, a lot or
hams intended for the rebel army, two flue steers, and
plenty of mutton and fresh pork. Particular care is taken
to interfere with no property belonging to citizens who
are at home and minding their proper bneiriese
When the Union soldiers first came here, the citizens
appeared very uneasy. Now they frankly admit that
they are treated far more honorably than they were by
the Oeuthem troops. They are tick and tired of the War,
and, if quite sure that the II Confederate" troop would
never return, plenty of them would openly declare for the
Union and raise the stars and stripes.
NY principal object in writing Me letter to tt) call
public attention to the largo tratti of deserted lands and
the thousands of contrabands who need employment. I
risk nothing in saying that these confiscated slaves are
good laborers, end all willing to work. They have no
desire to go Itorth if they can get employment at the
South. I am very sure that if the Government would
take possession of the land deserted by the rebels, appoint
competent superintendents, and employ the contrabands,
that immense crops of corn, hay, buckwheat, tn., could
be raised during the present season, which would be very
useful for the army. Unless something of the kind is
done very soon, by the Government, there will be thou
sands of poor black mots, WC.., and children thrown
upon the Government for support. lam entirely satis

is made known to those in authority it will be done with

The enemy are evidently awaiting us at Corinth,
or between here and there. A cavalry reeonnois
ounce was made yesterday, which discovered them,
in some force, less than ten miles from our front.
It is pretty well ascertained that they are fortify
ing about Corinth, and preparing to make a great
stand. But whoever lives to see the neat battle
will probably see a rapid arid easy march to Mem
phis, and probably to New Orleans. It would not
be proper for me to say what accessions our force
has received ande Ike battle, but you eau pertmi,e
guess.

are our ably iitAnteiiie. It is amuslsg to sea tha
interest with which the soldiers pore over the ac
counts of battles in which they themselves have
been engaged. Our soldiers love to be admired
end praised. They care more to have their ser
vices appreciated than for anything else. They
are mightily amused at the accounts coming from
the army of the Potomac, at the siege of Yorktown,
where,,in order to make out a letter, the corres
pondent is obliged to give minute accounts of every
casualty that occurs—how one man was wounded
in the havereacit and another in the canteen, lies
the pious soldier, whose life was saved by the Bible
given him by his mother, which stopped a bullet
on the way to his heart, been trotted out yet?
Then their innocent souls, they don't know any
thing about war. That is clear from the frequent
mention we hear of 4‘ billed shirts" among the
rebels. Our Secesh friends don't put on any such
style as that. They all wear their old clothes, and
are glad to get even those. I don't believe, either,
that there is a oiled shirt in the whole of General
Ilallaaklentaff. Thera may ba a few papar
but that is the extent of their luxury. If a man
could get a cast-iron shirt, that could be blacked,
or a tin shirt, that could be scoured, it would pay ;
but whey; Actual war to going on, waatierwomim
don't flourish.
An incident occurred a few days ago which shows
the strictness of muffin regulations. A resident
of this place, about a mile from our lines, was
brought inside by a lieutenant of the; picket guard
to search for a horse that had been stolen from him.
The lieutenant dial not know of the order that had
just been made forbidding any one to pass either
way without authority from headquarters. Not
withatendiug the man came here innocently, and
under the guidance of en officer, and, too, for a le
gitimate purpose, ho will be compelled to stay, con
fined in the guard-house until the army moves for
ward, when he will be sent to the rear. He may
be Secesh and simply prying about, which I am in
clined to believe is the case, though he looks very
honest and is certainly very gentlemanly in his man
ners, for who could rattily expect to Ana a horst, la a
space four miles square crowded with horses ? But
were he as honest as Old Abe he comes under the
rule r and must take his chances.
This camp is worse than the Labyrinth of Crete.
This country is very uniform and densely wooded,
though without much underbrush. Every 'ravine
and every hillock looks just like its neighbor two
miles It is next to an impossibility to go to
any place. Those best accustomed to the ground,
who have been over it fifty times, confess that they
mild list strike a straight hits far any pabA a inile
distant. They can only get on by going from one
division to another, and inquiring their way. None
of our Western battles will resemble the battles of
wropeass armies, or, probably, those on the coast.
The country is too low and flat, and too uniform.
More than all this, Rill covered densely with timber,
andytillery has not near the range that would be
useful. It is not the heaviest artillery that wins
here, it is the greatest quantity of short range and
light guns. Six-pounder brass guns and twelve
pounder howitzers are the most valuable, and all
our best batteries have them. They can be quickly
and easily moved, and are very destructive at
short range. The Parrott and James rifled
cannon are not nearly so useful. The reguta
ti4o, too, thai the artlllorjr - would he the most
angerous aervice,. has not been fulfilled here
for the same reason. Sharpshooters cannot gene
rally gay at our artillerymen tyithout coming
within close proximity to the " rotten balls" that
they fear so much when they "bust." Taylor's
battery of Chicago has been in three fights, and
have only lost two killed and a few wounded. The
loss of Smith's battery, the other of the Chicago
twine, who have.performed such valuable service
in the West, has suffered greater loss than this, but
still very little compared with infantry compa
nies.
To-day is bright and pleasant, and I hope erelong
to chroniolo en advance, though the roads 45-YAS still
in a very bad condition. Casco.

and a bag of potatoes for a pillow. And as fingers were
made before cutlery, I look contemptuously upon knives

And when the evening time approaches—when the

In the last two months I hare written twenty.seren

abstained froth all idle exaggeration. This can easily be
proved; and I possess a letter from the best Union man
in the United States—Gov. Andrew Johnson—whereinhe
compliments me by saying that I am a judicious writer;

collided with the correspondent of a German newspaper,
with a ham-bone upon his shoulder, who asked me where
I was bound. I told him I was going to leave, and in

from General Halleck. lie replied in a language which
I interpreted to mean that he had seen it, and having a
horror of being jerked into eternity for telling the truth,
ha rushed, with his effects—the balance of a ham—to
the General's office for a pass home, when, to his astonish

namely, that both Generals Jackson and Ewell have the
reputation of being fighting generals. Earnest and vigorous
work on our aide is all that is wanb:d. Dispute every
mile of the road, Nell every foot of territory for bland, is
the true tactics. The atom policy of the back track may
do very well at times, and the virtue of spades and sand

campaign in open field, where numbers will not be great

true, the patriotic people of the Southwest, who have so
noble , contributed to the eatabliehment of Southern in

and prepare to yield a quiet submission to Northern
despotism. With an enemy's army at one right, un

True, we had our confidence in General Beauregard

believe. however, we may have on other occasions doubted
the ability and chill el that lamented officer, that, had
the brave Johnston been spared, our army would not
have been repulsed from that field made sacred by I:4e
