MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1862.
Tun nF.ATII of one man is not such an un
usual event as to create surprise. Even to
-die by violence is much too common to re
ceive more than . ordinary attention. Hun- ,
alreds are daily bereaved of their beloved ones
:in a viihatt manner, and we may mike no
note of it beyond a brief line in very small
type. 'Misery and happiness, pain and be
zeavement, widowlmod and orphanage to
thousand* are crowded into a densely-filled
.column ; the world .folds over the page, and
reads the glowing account of special cor
respondents, and the world, satistled , that we
MO a great people, thinks no more about it.
Our only regret is; that our instruments of
war aro not more effective—that our shells do
not hill and Mangle and cause, more destruc
tion—that we cannot range our cannon to
greater distances. . This is death as a profes
sion, and we lose sight of its horrors in the
glory that surrounds it. It is only when death :
comes to our own homes by the hands of the
murderer and assassin that we teel its awful
terror. Happily, we have few such visitations
in Philadelphia. It is rarely we are startled
with a narrative like that printed recently is
the report of a Coronet's inquest on the body
of a distinguished citizen. We a-e introduced
by it to the worst phases of city life. We see
evidences of that spirit of rowdyism 'which,
in other days, darkened the fair fame of our
city, and the duty is pressed upon us of taking
measures to repress any,
,further attempt to
bring shame upon the community.
As we uulerstand the - circumstances of this
sad affair, it seems to have occurred in this
nay. At one of our suburban retreats, where
lager beer is sold, and there are . occasionally
merry gatherings .of men and women, who
dance, and sing, and enjoy themselves after a
rude and boisterous fashion, there was a
gathering a few days ago. We do not know
that there was any particular attraction. It
was a pleasant May day, and the retreat was
on one of the most beautiful parts of the
Schuylkill river bank. It seemed that there
wascongregation of people, belonging to
some 'Assembly or Association, who had-re
paired thither to participate in a pic-nie. The
day passed on, and in the course of the day
many of the people becam'e intoxicated, arid
there were occasional distutbauces, .and per
sonal conflicts. A very large number of
rowdies had obtained admittance, and were
disposed to be quarrelsome and vindictive.
In one of their quarrels they took occasion to
insult and assault some of the women in at
tendance, going so far as to push one of them
down the hill, and . bruise her person, and -to
inflict upon another the grossest indignity. 'A
citizen who was standing by, Mr. Kleiman M.
BEnny, well.known as a member of Councils,
and a most estimable citizen, interfered to pro
tect the Women from insult. The rowdies
turned upon him, with fiendish malignity, and
beat Lim so severely that he very anon ex.
pired.
Be) and this we know very There has
been n small excitement, son) proper com
ments in the newspapers, and a reward from
his Honor the Mayor. The whole story will
very soon be forgotten ; but it brings a lesson
with it which we should remember. In . the
death of Mr. Barmy we have an admonition to
our rulers to take means to prevent a repeti
tion of the sad scenes surrounding it. We
shudder at the idea of returning to the reign of
the rowdy. We bad an experience of it in
former times, sufficient to last forever.. We
can ,think of nothing more fearful than the
l'hiladelphia rowdy. He is a type of
-the
worst class of men. Without honor; courage,
or courtesy ; wedded to the most degrading
vices; vulgar in his tastes; offensive in his
habits ; profane and murderous) the terror of
the community in which he moves, and a
disgrace to an honorable and self-sacrid
dug zrofession—he delights in rapine and
brutality. The death of Mr. BEERY illus
,
trates the character of this representative
scoundrel. It was unrelieved in its• shame.
The rowdy was the assailant of a woman; he
bad visited upon her grosS insult; he had
wounded her person until she was covered
with blued. c , A man came up and pushed
me down the hill," said one of the Ibmale
witnesses, who bad been maltreated, cc my
friend wiped the blood off my face." It may
be questioned as to the propriety of females'
being in such assemblies. That is a question
•
of taste, however, which cannot admit of our
jurisdiction. We might not care about our
wives and daughters going to Egglesfleld, ;but
other people may, and it is no reason why
they should be shoved down a hill, wounded
and bruised, and covered with blood. /t is no
reason why a citizen, who sought to do the part
• of a gentleman, shonld be brutally assaulted
snd . rnurdered. We trust that no effort
will be spared to arrest the murderers of
Mr. BERRY. We trust that the adrienis
trators of justice will visit 'them with prompt
and condign punishment. A crime like this
should be speedily repressed. It is a crime
against all social order and security. Like
the era of highvias men, in the earlitimes, it
is murder and robbery in every public place
and on every public road. If these rowdies
are permitted to do such deeds at a pleasuring
place on the banks of the Schrtylkill, we'may
expect them to 'do deeds equally heinous on
Chestnut street and Independence Square:
We may expect to see the bowie-knife and
the, bludgeon at every corner, in the pity.
house, the public gathering, and in the sane-,
tuary. We shall have it at the ballot-box
more fearfully and frequently thaa it has ever
been before. The law must punish summarily
all such manifestations of disorder and riot,
or our people may be compelled to take strin
gent measures for preserving the public peace.
LET vs RAT a word about the present leaders
of the Democratic party in contrast with those
who are accepted as the leaders of the Union
or Administration party. It is a text Sugges
tive of a thousand wholesome reflections.
We have, for instance, CHARLIS J. BIDDLE
as a Democratic leader, and WILLIAM D.
KELLEY as an Administration leader—the one
reared In the lap of luxury and aristocracy, in
heriting no sympathy with the masses of the
people ; the other born to toll, penury, and
privation, with every instinct of his nature
sMve to the interests of the Democracy. Wm. B.
REED is a Democratic leader, and Joni Hies-
MAN a Republican leader. Mr. REED is an honest
and genuine hater of everything that savors .
of liberality and progress. There "is not ,a.
drop of Democratic blood in his veins."
litaxmAN has received from his Quaker ances
try the largest toleration and the most fearless
devotion to the rights of man. Geoaos M.
Wnerrozr is-a Democratic leader, and &mow
Cemvatoll a Republican lead of. Mr. MrnArt-
Tom's political experience has been the
experience of coteries, the experience of
a slats, the experience of prejudices; while
that of Mr. CAMERON has been the ex
perience of early poverty, enterprise, and
constant intercourse with his fellow-men.
Jostmt RANDALL is a Democratic loader,
and DENBY SmresoN a Republtoan leader.
' Mr. RANDALL Is one of the old-scboel gentle
men of our city. Never a Democrat until the
nomination of Mr. Bocuerux, all the best
years of his lite were spent in the bitterest op
position to the apostles of Democracy. HENRY
Suirson's Democracy was never questioned:
in the bitterest trials of the past until JANES
. BUCHANAN became one of the chiefs of that
party. lona C. BuLarr is a Democratic
leader, and DANIEL DOUGHERTY a Union
leader; and yet Mr. BULLITT'S prejudices and
convictions have always been with slavery
and against the glorious Democratic creed of
JACKSON and JEFFERSON, while DOUGHERTY,
springing from the loins of -the people,
self-educated, and reared without adventi
tious aids to fight his battle with adversity,
glows with moot generous impulses. In Berke
.county Mr. SYDENIIAM E. ANCONA, who votes
with Mr. VALLawzmouan in the Congress of I
-the Unita States, is a Democratic leader,
avhile lltssyn.a H. Mmutatintrao, the son of

JOHN DAVIS, of Bucks comity, distiegiiished
in'Congress and beloved by ail men, speaking;
and acting is every crisis on the side of hls
country, giving his only son as a champion to
the flag, is a Union leader.' We might run the
contrast through many columns, but we have
said enough to awaken reflection, tullijittOw
our readers into what bands theTemocratio
party has fallen.
Tuts wAn has brought into bold roliuf ono
great question of political,and social economy.We have sought te,avoid'it ; it has at no time
been a welcome guest. We turned it out ot
doors, but it came in through the window;
we put out the Ere, but it sat and - smiled over
the smelting embers on the heagth. It was
slain and buried; but it came from the grave
In complete steel—not wish marrowless bones
and spectral aspect, but a thing of form, and
life,,and.power. - We dosed our ears, but it
would be heard.- We sought to-weary it with
delay, bait was patient; to worry it with ha-
poittitlit, but it was impnimbable. We an
swered-iti friendship with Men% and when it
spoke of reasoning together we laughed it to
scorn, and turned away in mockery. It came to
us in peace; it comes to us in war. It brought
with it the pen; it brings with it the sword. It
is with us in all ways and at all times. Soma
call it a fiend, and others call it an angel; but
it Is forever knocking at the door and asking
to come in. All it asks is a fair hearing and a
fair judgment upon its words when spoken.
We have played the part of cowards in avoid-
ing it heretofore. Shall we not play the part of
men, in meeting 'it now, fairly and , finally—in
determining its case and deciding it forever ?
Now it has a new importance. -Before it'was
the mere theme of general discussion. Now it
is an admittcd prinaipletof national policy, and
as such we are discussing it.
The euiancipation of slavoryin the District of
Columbia was one of the most suggestive
events of the age. It was an example and au
illustration. The great idea of the past cen
tury, the idea which had associated and iden-
tided itself with our institutions, was at last
ied by a practical test. Good results Came
rem it ; none of the evils dreaded and prophe-
sied have been manifested. it was a simple
meaEnre of legislative polic4 , , and was esta
blished mid great opposition and feeling.
Yet it was succeeded by no agitatioa,
no outbreaks of popular prejudice
District of. Clumbia is now a free terri-
ory by the easy operation of a statute
aw—by what enemies of the measure
called forcible emancipation—and yet the Dis
trict of Columbia is as pleasant and prospe-
rous as at any pellod of its history. There
has been no negro saturnalia, no violent out-
break of social disorder, no attempt to invade
those barriers of social distinction that must
forevcr exist between the African and Anglo-
Saxon. It , was s •id that property would de-
preciate—that there would be excesses and
violences, that the negro would become inso-
ent and unbearable—that the city of Wa,shing-
ton would become a desolated metropolis—that
negro labor would become valueless—that
hundreds of the emancipated negroes would
flock to the Northern States. We have seen
no such result as yet ; we know that
nothing of the kind is anticipated. Mr. Fsa-
TON does not find his travelling receipts di
minish. Mr. Mayor WALLACH has had no ad
ditional trouble-in managing his pdlice system.
We Lave yet to bear of the first emancipated
negro coming to Philadelphia. - Labor moves
on .in its accustomed way, with the usual
supply and demand. Negroes perform the da
ties they performed when slaves ; they wait,
and drive, and pol%h boots, and carry trunks
to the railway station, and plant c rn, and
cook the meals of white men. We do not
think a white woman has been insulted by, an
emancipated negro ; we are confident that no
emancipated negro has sought the hand of any
fair damsel of marriageable age and condi-
Society is the same In Maryland and Ken
tucky. In accomplishing emancipation in the
District
. of Columbia, we
were
shown: the
timid that. their fears were but of the imagi-
nation,' the more prejudices of education.
Slavery has been the cancer of the Southern
social system. We employ an old metaphor * ,
perhaps, but it is a forcible and appropriate
illustration. It rooted itself into the body of
Southern society, attacking the glands, termi
nating in an ill-conditioned and deep disease,
and causing the Republic exerntiating pain.
It became schirrus and indurated. it brought
disaster and grief upon them, and tha sorest
of evils upon us. It brought us blood and
civil war, ruined commerce and desolated
fields, blockaded ports . , and rivers that swarm
with gunboats instead of merchant vessels, It
was tolerated as .a necessary evil, until its ex
tent and virulence make it incumbent upon
us to terminate it, as snob, or be terminated
by it. The champions of this institution, not
content with submitting to the toleration and
protection •of our great Northern fres. com
munity, have made it the pretext for aggres
sion and insult, and by their own acts are ac
complishing its downfall. The emancipation
of slaN'ery in the District of Columbia was the
necessary add natural result of the Southern
rebellion. It is but the beginning of the re
sults the rebellion must surely bring. The
"wedge has only entered the log, and heavy
blows are falling upon it day by day.
r. President LlNconer has only announced
a policy, and not established it. If we turn
over the leaves of our national history we
shall find that in announcing this policy he is
but carrying out the suggestions of the great
statesmen who have passed away, and who's°
memory we revere. He is but reaffirming the
principles of WARMNOTON, JEFFERSON, MADI
SON, atdlWOlO3.OE. He draws his lessons from
that great Virginia school from which so
much of our political inspiration has come.
Ile reproduces what the Southern statesmen
thought before the advent of that gifted and
pernicious statesman, Cammex. Those pure
men of the early days regarded slavery as a
social evil, to be tolerated, but to be termi
nated by the gradual operation of the laws of
Nature. It was a sad necessity, which could
be endured, but which should not bo extended.
Mr. CALELOWI declared slavery to bo a necessary
good, and contended that this Republic could
only exist when based upon it. His followers
have drawn the sword in defence of that doc l
trine, committing treason on its behalf. In
the eyes of Mr. JEFFERSON, slavery was a mere
industrial interest, to be protected and pre
served only as it became necessary to the in
dustry and agriculture of the South. In the
eyes of Mr. Cautoun, slavery was the source
ofpolitical Power. It enabled him to overmatch
the growing wealth and importance of the
North, to control the Electoral College, and keep
the Southern politicians in power as the repre
sentatives of a small, exclusive, and easily-ma
naged minority. With this view, he favored the
war with Mexico and the annexation of Texas.
With this view, his followers sustained the
Kansaa-Nebraska bill, and endeavored to dis
tort it from the_ wise purposes of Senator
DOUGLAS by opening the Territories of the
whole Union as a slave nursery, and protect
ing them by Congressionalpower. Then
came the troubles in Kansas; the border
ruffian forays ; the Consolidation of Northern
sentiment into enmity to their lawlessness ;
the overthrow of Senator DOUGLAS ; the assas
sination of the Democratic party; the triumph
of consolidated Northern sentiment—and
Southern treason. Then came war.
President ascots says to the people of the
Southern States : You have been misled by
false teachers and bad men. You have brought
this misery upon yourselves by worshipping
straffle gods and straying away from the pre
cepts of your fathers. I bring to you the gos
pel of a purer time, the wise teachings of Free
dom's apostles. I ask you to return to the
principles of our country's founders, to those
who suffered to establish liberty upon this con
tinent. We know that the President, in making
this proffer, is strictly following the lessons
taught by the early statesmen of the Republic.
"Virginia," saysMr.licentor, "did all that was
in her power to prevent the extension of . sla
very, and to mitigate its evils. If emancipa
tion be possible, I Took to the Union to aid in
effecting it." This was in a Convention where
such men as Marmon and MARSHALL sat.
Bolder words were spoken by others in that
Convention. " I wish, indeed," said an emi
nent Virginia statesman, " that I had been
born in a land where domestic and negro Oa
very is unknown." Men have been denounced
as Abolitionists in these later'years for speak.
ing milder sentiments than those of these emi:
nent statesmen. But we are beceming bolder
in dealing with the sublect. We are ceniing .
back again to the days .when bravery of
thought and speech watt companion to bravery
,of heart and hand.
In following the Wise course of President
LocoLx we but carry out the necessary result
of the rebellion. The rebels are the Aboli
tionists of this war. They.have virtually ter
minated the institution, and it is for the peo
ple so to act that it may pass away without
violence and misfortune to the South. It is
for the people to say whether they will accept
the Kind assistance of the General Govern
ment, and enjoy all the blessings of free testi
intim and free society. It is for them to sty.
‘rliether free labor shall be honored and elle
risked, or become the viclimof , a lower and
more exclusive labor system; whether the
white laborer of.
,the 'South shall- he free,
happy, : and respected, like ids brother ,in
the North, or the wretched and despitel
mudsill ho is now deemed to be. It is
net' 'Abolitionism ; it is not the defence of
a mere humanitarian theory. :We do 'not
,bring up an old issue. It is living, active, and
just. It is involved in. the destiny of _our
country; it is felt in every life we give - to the
rebellion ; .in every dollar it takes from our
pockets; in the friends wo lose and the sacrifices
we make. It is the duty of the hour; and we;
who are sharing its glory and responsib.lity
should to act that it be faithfully performed.
LETTE It, FltOfel " OCCASIONAL."
WASII/NOTON, JtitaQ 8, 1802,
While politicians wrangle and statesmen dis
pute the common sense policy ef our coransom;
sense President, gradual emancipation, with
compensation to loyal slaveholders, is steadily
winning its way. Wallach's Evening Star has
commenced the discussion in support of the
President's proposition in arguments of es
hanstive ability ; and tho National Intelli
gamer, of this morning, takes up , the subject
'with characteristic dignity and candor. The
point of the Star's argument is the removal of
slavery tram the Border to the Cotton States,
and the occupation of all the domain thus
purified by the brawny , sinews, energy, and
capita], of the Anglo-American, or white race.
The Intelligencer adopts the' same theory, and
clinches its opinions by quoting from the old.
est and best leaders of the Virginia school.
It is a fact that cannot be successfully con
tested, that opposition to slaver'y originated in
Virginia. Mr. Jefferson always regirded it
with dislike and apprehension, and his cotem
poraries were deeply imbued with his own
sincere philosophy. The great mind of Mr.
Madison, the tranquil and lucid judgment of
Mr. Monroe, inclined them strongly -to the
Jeffersenian theory, and in the Convention
which assembled at Richmond, in October of
1829, for the purpose of remodelling the Con
stitidion of that State, both these venerable
men, Monroe and Madison, together with Chief
Justice Marshall, took part in the discussions,
and advocated nearly the same remedy now
recommended by President Lincoln to the
people of Sim South. The Inielligencer quotes
from the remarks of James Monroe, in that
Convention, some most significant opinions.
He speaks of shivery as a great evil; and one
of his arguments is to show,that the legisla
tion of Virginia had been consistently directed
against the spread of the institution. The ft).
lowing paragraph is a specimen of his argu
ment
"'What was the origin of our slave population?
The evil commenced when we were in our colonial
state, but acts wore passed by our Colonial Legis
lature prohibiting the importation of more SlaVeg
into the colony, These were rejected by the
Crown. We declared our independence, and the
Itohihition of a further importation was among the
first acts of State sovereignty. Virginia'was the
first State which instructed her delegates to declare
the colonies independent. She braved all dangers.
From Quebec to Boston, and from Boston to Sa
vannah, Virginia shed the blood of her sons. No
imputation then, can be cast upon her in this mat
ter. She did all that was in her power to do to
prevent the E:ViC??StO7b of slavery and to. mitigate
its evils."
Is it not a most viole'nt and - unnatural con
trast to these counsels, that a set of leaders
who have professed a devout reverence for
the school of Madison and Monroe should
have thrown themselves upon the heresy that
slavery is an unmixed and divine good, and
that they should have been strong enough to
initiate and prosecute a bloody war against
the• central Government, and to convert the
State of JetTerson, Madison, and Monroe into
the bloodiest theatre of that war ? An ideal
ist like John C. Calhoun, who dreamed
Utopian visions of an independent South, draw
ing its vitality from slavery, and who convinc.
ed himself and others that that which cor
rupted both white and black, which weakened
and destroyed the moral sense, would make a
people not only powerful, but virtuous, suc
ceeded in demoralizing the example of the
really wise and patriotic men of the slave
States, and in making their posterity alike
ungrateful to thep, and ungrateful to their
country. I kngiiithat it s is pleaded by the
men who attempt to excuse this inhuman con
spiracy, that Secession had never been dream
ed of until the Abolitionists began to agitate
it The answer to this sophistry is so
easy that it scarcely deserves repetition.
Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James
Monroe did not expect that when they spoke
against slavery their words would find no echo
in Northern hearts, and that that which they
esteemed to be -vile should not seem to be,
more vile to those who regarded it from a dis
tance. - In fact, the Abolitionists have always
been looked upon with ""a degree of favor -by.
the pro-sle.very apostles. These latter used
the indignant metaphors of Garrison, and
Wendell Phillips, and George Thompson, to in
flame the ignorant prejudices of their follow
ers; but when slavery assumed the fascinating
aspect of being the source of opulence and polite
cal power—when cotton became one of the greot
elements of commerce and manufacture here and
elsewhere, they resolved to make an empire of
their own, and no longer to submit to the Govern
meat which had fostered and protected them.
That mischievous and pestilent pamphleteer,
De Bow, the mouth-piece .of the conspirators,
frequently stated in his Review that the South
cared nothing for Abolitionism, and looked to
independence, not because it feared it, but be
cause, in an isolated position, it would become
more powerful. The Abolitionists Were always
in a minority in the free States, and they are
in a'minority to-day; but the sharp politicians
of the South insisted upon calling the Repnbli-
cans Abolitionists for their own mercenary
purposes. These desperadoes have, however,
played out their •dark game and have lost it,
and now, with their broken army lying before
our triumphant columns, in the face of the
proof of their savage brutalities, inflicted
equally upon the soldiers of the North and
their own people, and with the fact of the
utter failure of their perverted creed of State
Rights, the intellect and patriotism of the
Border States gratefully revert to the whole
some teachings of the trusted statesmen of
Virginia. President Lincoln offers no more
and no less than was offered by Jefferson, Madi
son, and 'Monroe. He does not speak as an
Abolitionist, nor even as a Republican. Ile
addresses the Southern people as a friend
and a counsellor. It is not surprising, there
fore, that his recommendations, at first rejected;
should begin to be favorably received. !, The
signs of the times'? ,to which I have refer
red are proofs of this change in the Southern
mind.
And how are the leaders, who assume to
control the Democratic party, treating the
President's emancipation policy ? They see
how it is working in the slave States. They
behold the evidences in its favor among the
men who own slaves, and yet, with this
example and this stimulant to patriotic action,
they deliberately place themselves in opposi
tion to emancipation, and assail and misrepre
sent the Chief Magistrate who recommends it.
The moat candid and sincere 'man in this or
ganization is John C. Breckinridge himself,
for he followed his party into the rebel army,
and disdained to oppose our cause by mere
words when he could prove his fidelity by
taking up arms against it. OCCASIONAL.
THE PARIS CORRESPONDENT of the London

at Washington, to pay a second visit to Rich
mond, when ho was to offer the united inter

termination of the rebellion on the following
terms : A lull amnesty, the,revlsion of the
Constitution, compensation by the United
States Congress for Southern losses sustained
by the retirement of c( contrabands," and the
immediate return of the Confederate States to

Charleston too Hot for the Foreign Con-
On board the Stepping Stones, among others whOqoul
come down on the rebel flag-of-trues train from Rich
mond, I observed Monsieur J. Da Pruyn Kona, vice
consul of the Netherlands at Charleston, and his family,
and M. De Comte tie Ohoiseint, French consul at Chalks
ton, accompanied by his wife, child, and servant. I
made inquiry as to the reason of their leaving their posts
at this present moment, when they are so much needed
to look after the interests of their countrymen in Secessia,
But I could not obtain any satisfaction; as these foreign
nabobs are strong in their sympathies for the South, arid
seemed to have their mouths Sealed with red tape or
so mething. Two things are pretty certain: First, they
did not leave the Confederate ship until she:was sinking,
and, secondly, they did not leave without .itiiiiructions
from their respective Governments, and it may yet ap
pear that M. Mercier's recent . visit toßichmond had
something to do with this matter.

To Hon. Gideon Seoretary of the Navy:
Elk : I arrived here last'evening, at 0 &clock, steam.
parded by the mortar fleet, under Captain ELaynadier,
the ordnance steam storeships, .tem, and anchored a mile
and a half above the city.
This morning I discovered the rebel fleet, which had
been reinfcrced, and now consisted of eight rams and
gunboats, lying at . , the levee. The engagement which
commenced at $0 A. M.. and ended at 7 o'clock, ter
minated in a running fight.
I was ably eupported by tire ram fleet, under command
of Colonel Ellet, who was conspicuous for his gal
lantry, and is seriously but not dangerously wounded.
The result of the action wee the capture or destruc
tion of seven Teesels of the rebel fleet, as follows:
'rbe. General Besuregard was blown up and burnt;
the General Sterling Price had one wheel carried
away.;;:the Jeff Thompson we a set on fire by a-shell
and burned, and her magazine was blown up; the
Sumpter was badly cut up by shot, but. will be repaired;
a little rebel steamer had her boiler exploded by shot,
and was otherwise injured, but she will be rcpairad. Be
sides this, one of the rebel boats was sunk in the begin
ning of the action; her name is not known.
A boat, supposed to be the Van Dorn, escaped from the
flotilla by her impurior speed. Two rams are in pursuit
of her. The . officers and crews of the rebel boats en
deavored to take to the shore. .:
Many of their wounded and prisoners are now in our
hands. The Mayor surrendered tb city to me after the
engagement. Col. Fitch came down at eleven o'clock,
and has taken military porsesslon of the town.,

To the lion. E. Itt. Stanton, Secretary of War:
The rebel gunboats made a Etand early this morning
opposite 'Memphis, and (meted a rigorous fire, upon our
gunboats, , shioh they returned with equal spirit.
I ordered the Queen, my flag ship, to 'pass between the
gunboats and run down ahead. of them, upon the two
rams of the enemy, which, at first, boldly stood their
ground. Lieutenant Colonel Ellet, in the Monarch, of
which Cant. Dry den is first mister, followed gallantly. The
rebel rams endeavored to back down stream, and then to
turn and run, but the movement was 'fatal to them.'
ne Queen struck one of them fairly, and for a faw
minutes was feet to the wreck. <After separating, the
rebel steamer sunk. .
. .
My steamer, the Queen, was then he - raelf struck by
anotherrehet steamer, and disabled, but, though damaged,
can be saved. A pistol shot wound in the leg deprired
me of the power to witness the remainder of the fight.
The Monarch also passed ahead of our gunboats, and
wen t most natant - 1y into action. She first struck the re - -
bed boat-that struck my flag-ship, and sunk the. re
bel. She Was then struck by. one of the rebel rams, but
not injured. She then pushed on and struck the Beau
regard, and burst open her side. Simultaneously the
Beauregard was struck in the boiler by a shot from ono
of our gunboats.
The Monarch then pushed at the gunboat Little 'Rebel,
'the Trebel flag ship, and, baring little headway, pushed
her before her, the rebel commodore and crew escaping.
The Monarch then finding the Beauregani einking took
her in tow until she sunk in shoal water. Then, in
compliance with the request of Col. Davie, Limit. OM.
Filet despatched the Monarch and the Switzerland in
pursuit of one of the remaining rams and some trans
ports which had escaped.
The gunboats and two ofiny rams have gone below.
I cannot too mach praise the conduct of the pilots and
engineers, and Military" Guard of the Monarch and
Queen, the brave, conduct of Captain Dryden, or the
heroic bearing of. Lieutenant Colonel Eliot. I will name
all the parties to you in a special report

To the Hon. B. M. Stanton, Secretary of War:
It is proper and due to the brave men on the 'Queen
`and Monarch to say to you, briolly,ithatjtwo of the rebel
steamers were sunk outright n - immediately by the
shook of my two rams. One with a large amount of
cotton, ho., on board, was disabled by, an accidental col-
Baton with the Queen, and secured by her crow.
After I was personally disabled, another v beat, which
was also hit by a shot from the, fitoibeats, was sunk, by
the Monarch, and towed to shoal water by that boat,
Still another, also injured by the firo of our gunboats,
was pushed on the shore and secured by the Monarch.
Of the gunboats, I can only say that they bore them
selves, as our
navy always does, braiely and well.

• WASHINGTON, June T.—Commander Mnllany, of the
United States steamer Bienville, reports to the Navy Do
partraent in a letter dated off Port Royal, the 30th ult.,
the capture of three echoooers showing English colors,
when about twenty-Ave miles southeast of Charleston
bar. Ile rays In hie report that, when first discovered,
two of the Tassels were at anchor, with their sails furled.
The third was Tinder sail immediately afterwards. All
them vessels made sail and endeavored to escape.
The first vessel captured was called the Providence, of
'Nassau, N. P. She cleared at that port for Baltimore,
Maryland, and had a cargo of salt and sugars. Comman
der 'Malian, believe' the realeter - to be spnrione, as it had
no official seal ; which, coupled with her proxitilty to
'Charleston, being entirely out of her course if bound
North, and her attempted escape, led him to capture her.
The second vessel captured was called the Rebecca, of
Nassau, N. P. She cleared for St. John, N. 13., and had
a cargo of salt in sacks. Her register is believed to be
spurious for the same reasons.
The third vessel captured was called the La Criolla, of
Islateen, W. P. She cleared from that port for St. John,
end has an assorted cargo of groceries. &c., such as
seep, oil, lard, and matches. liar register, like those of
the two others, is doubtless spurious The crews of all
three vessels freely admittol that they were bound to
Charleston. The supercargo of the La Criolla informed
Commander 2tulleny that• they came out of Charleston
on the night of the :18th of April, and that they had been
wailing for en opportunity to run in again when be fell
in with her.
Acting Master Prank Smith made a thorough report
Of the prizes, which was forwarded by Commander giul
- in which it is said that the master of the Provi
dence stated in the presence of the boat's crew, that ho
bed tried for two nights to get into Charleston, but
Loins unauccenful, he determined to make for Balti
more; and; further, that he feared his register would
condo mn him-
Tho report adds that the second - vessel, the Bebeoca, is
an American schooner, built at Charleston, S. C., In Rio
year 1159. The third' capture is a fine yacht schooner,
built in one of the Northern States in 1157, and wee
Homed the Nova. She sailed from Nassau at the same
time with the former-mentioned vessels under the as
tir:mid name of Ira Oricila. tier supercargo and owner,
Antonio Sellrdo, of 'ravine, admitted that 'boy bad
tried to get into Charleston and be bad advised the mas
ter to either go in or endeavor to go away, as they would
surely be captured.

The Missouri State Convention.
JEFFBRSON, Juno 7.—ln the State Convention to-day,
the Committee on Elections reported an ordinance to en
able the attune of this State now in the military service

The special committee on the seats of absent members

the grcund of their active participation in the rebellion,
and declaring vacant the seats of Messrs. Chenanit and
atkins.
It wee moved to strike out the name of Mr. Watkins
for the reason that be Y al renounced the robeilidt and
been pardoned by the President.
After a di. cession the motion was lost, as wits also a
motion to simply declare the sent of Mr. Wright nitwit.
The report of the committee was then adapted.
A petition, signed by seven hundred citizens of tiro
Fourth Senatorial Diet. ict, was received, asking for the
expulsion of Prince 3. tiodinge from the Convention as
being unworthy to represent the Union people of that
district. No better evidence, they say, was needed to
prove his traitorous and contemptible conduct than that
be had aided and abetted the rebellion and bee not dared
to show himself in the said district since last September.
Mr. Boding,' asked for the appointment of a committeeto
investigate the case, which Nag agreed to.
The consideration of the ordinance defining the qualifi
cations of voters and civil Officere was then renewed, and
alter several speeches for and against it, the motion of
lr. Orr, made yesterday, to strike out the elms) dis
franchising persons who have takes up arms against the
Government or given aid or encouragement to the rebel
lion,-was carried—yeas 44, nays 24. The ordinance was
subsequently recommitted.
Mr. Bowen moved to instruct the committee to report
an ordinance on the baais of his minority report, deferring
all action till the next regular Gubernatorial election.
Now that the disfranchising clause was rejected, there
seemed to be a majority in favor of this proposition.
Without reaching a vote oi the motion, the Conven
tion adjourned.
