TUESDAY, JUNE 10, 1862.
AUDACITY is essential to an English Prime
Minister. It carried. PITT through various
difficulties during twenty years;'it stood with
CASTLISILIAGH, as a substitute for talent, du
ring a like period ; it enabled WELLINGTON to
carry Catholic Emancipation against the wishes,
of his Sovereign and the Aristocracy ; it was
Pner.'s mainetay when, throwing his party
overboard, he surrendered England to -the
Manchester theory of Free Trade. At pre
sent, this same audacity has made Pemnutsros
affirm, in a Parliamentary debate, that the
mutual relations of France and England were
never more friendly and stable—and this whilo
the Paris journals, which cannot utter an opi
.nien or enunciate a fact without Imperial per
mission, not only insinuate but complain that
England has used France very badly in reti
ring from the Illexican imbroglio.
Mr. Disnenti expressed. the opinion of a
large number of his countrymen when he
suggested that if France were so very much
England's friend there was no necessity in
arming against her. Lord PAL3rnasrox ad
milted that England has gone and is going to
tremendous expense to maintain as, large an
armament as France, but: declared that cc as
it was not the policy of England to be at the
mercy of any ally, she must, in the matter of
armament, more than • keep pace with her
neighbors." On which we only observe that
the alliance must be'of a very peculiar cha
racter when each party is bristling with re
volvers, swords, and bowie-knives, and keep
ing a watchful eye upon his dearly-beloved
friend's movements.
On the Mexican complication, PALMERSTON
maintained a prudent silence. He could not
explain without justifying his policy, and, if
he told the truth, his explanation would give
mortal offence to Narormox. The plain facts
may be briefly stated„ Mexico owes certain
monies to some European Powers in the fol
lowing relative proportions : 15 to England, 2
to Spain, and Ito France. NAPOLEON adroitly
engages these three Powers to make an alli
ance for the purpose of invading Mexico, and
thereby driving it into some settlement of
the debt. France has the smallest interest
in this. Spain, which has lately been in a
state of military recuperation, went in—partly
to show her strength and partly in the hope
of re•establishin‘ Royalty in Mexico, with a
Spanish prince to representit. Englandjoined,
because NAPOLEON asked her. Very soon,
NAponsox disclosed his project of placing the
crown of Mexico on the head of an Austrian
prince, nominally as a descendant of the Em
peror Cuantas the Fifth, but really to
strengthen the relations of France with Aus
tria. On this, England backed out and with
drew her armament, and Spain has followed
* this example. The end is, the French army
in Mexico is cc in a tight place," and may
probably have to •return without any result
except defeat and disappointment. No
'doubt, England did Wisely in retiring, at
the earliest opportunity, from this anti-
MeXican conspiracy. The wonder is that,
after having spent five hundred millions of
dollars in the Russian war, into which she was
coaxed by NiP or,rox, who had his own pur
poses to gain, England should have been
jockeyed by France, in the seine: way, a se
cond time. Meanwhile the perfidy and treach
ery of England have become standing subjects
of reproach in the leading journals of Paris.
PALMERSTON, however, insists that the good
feeling between France and England continues
undiminished. After this, he may be expected
to assert anything. Meanwhile, both countries
continue their preparations, and indeed the
lemon einiente cordiale seems likely to en d -- ,
war.
affront John-Bull to be told that, : in money
matters, he was the easiest and most gullible
creature on the face of the earth. He pitts
with large sums in the most careless manner
imaginable. Besides an accumulation of tilles n ,
honors, and highly-salaried appointments, he.
made a grant of over sopo,ooo to the Duke
of Wellington, after the downfall of. Napoleon.
To the really great benefactors of mankind,
however, be is less liberal. Anything con
nected with the art of War, is sure of being
well paid for, butthe peaceful arts of civiliza
tion,
which augment individual enjoyment or
increase national prosperity, are poorly re
rounerated. Thomas Spencer, - a poor pic
ture-frame maker in Liverpool, discovered
electro-metallurgy as far back as 1837,
(two years before the experiments in the
same path by Professor Jacobi, of St. Pe-
.tersburg, had been made public,) and from
that time to this he never received one shil li
-
ling of public acknowledgment or compensa
tion for his ingenuity, which has done so much
for the atts, and made the fortunes of many
persons all over the World. If, however, the
discoverer of the electrotype has been neglect
ed, the appropriator of the cupola in mail-clad
ships of war has been taken care of. Nothing
for a public benefactor, but a large grant for
him who boldly takes another man's invention
'and patents it as his own. Captain Coles is
to receive $25,000 in cash, and $5OO for every
cupola brought into the British naval service
for the next fourteen years. -
In plain words, the Ericsson invention, taken
up and passed off by Coles as,his own, is thus
liberally paid for by John Bull. In by-gone
years, Captain Ericsson vainly endeavored to
obtain—we shall not say employment or pa
tronage, but even a fair hearing from the Bri
tish Admiralty. Tie showed them a steam
vessel in which, for. the first time, the pro
pelling machinery was under the water line
and out of the reach of shot, but their lord- i
ships would not believe the evidence of their
own eyes, and quietly, pooh-poohed . the inge
nious inventor. He shook the English dust
off his shoes and came to this country, where
he put into the Princeton the very same ma
chinery, and in the very same way, which the
British Admiralty had rejected, and which
they were glad enough to adopt in all their
future steamships . --still paying nothing to
Captain Ericsson: He has continued in this
country, Making a high reputation for himself,
and doing much public service, by a variety
of ingenious, scientific, and useful inventions
'and improvements. Among. these will ever
be especially recorded the planning and build
ing of the little pfonitor, with its effective and
novel-armament.
As far back as tbe early part of 1851, when
the Russian war bad directed attention to the
best modes of destruction of human life and
property by sea and land, Captain Ericsson
sent to the Emperor Napoleon his plan, in
vented some time before, of building war
ships on the plan which he subsequently de
veloped, with such glorious success, in the
Moritor. The plan was duly received, ac
knowledged, and considered by Napoleon, but
not adopted. Eighteen or twenty months
after this, Captain Coles, of the British Navy
5
brought forward his plan of an iron-clad war
steamer with a cupola battery, and the British.
Admiralty have adopted it, paying for it the
liberal price above stated, and quietly ignoring
the fact, now well•known in England, that
Coles had simply and impudently stolen the
idea, wliolesat from Ericsson. Exactly in
such manner did a Glasgow machinist purchase
a sewing in New York, and.patent it,
in. England, as his own invention—on the
strength of which he received a complimen
tary letter from Queen Victoria, was , praised,
in the Times, for exemplifying what. British
ingennity could do, and made a fortune by the
fraud which he committed. Nay, we have
heard that when Mr. Elias Ilowe, of Massa
chusetts, who produced the first complete
sewing-machine for general purposes, applied
for a patent in Tngland, he was told that his
specification was so much waste paper, as the
machine had been invented, in Glasgow, some
months before, and did great credit to British
ingenuity. It is pretty clear that in giving
Coles $5,00{) and a royalty for cupolas in war
ships, the British Government has paid him
for Ericsson's invention.
PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 10, ,1862.
New Publications
The fifth and sixth volumes of Ticknor & Fields'
Household Edition of Lockhart's "Life of &sett,"
(received through J. B. Lippincott h C 0.,) wary
the reader from 1817, when the Black Dwarf, Old
Mortality, and Harold the Dauntless were published,
and Rob Roy was projected, to the close of 182.3,
when St. Ronan's Well appeared, and surely these
were the most brilliant years of Scott's life. With
in that time he wrote, besides the above-mentioned,
the Heart of Mid•Lothian, the Bride of Lammer
moor, The Legend of Montrose, Ivanhoe, the Mo
nastery, the Abbot, Lives of the Novelists, Kenil
worth, tho Pirate, the Fortunes of Nigel, Peveril
of the Peak, Quentin Durward, and three dramatic
poems: nearly completed Abbotsford ; was created
Baronet by George IV, at whose visit to Scotland
be pleyed'a leading part; had his bust taken by
Chantrey, and his portrait by Lawrence and Rae
burn; saw his daughter happily married, and had
apparently made the wheel of Fortune cease its
rotation. A charming biography this is---next in
interest to Boswell'a Johnson. It is beautifully
printed and neatly bound, to match its spirited pub•
ushers' Household Edition of the Waverley Novels,
and is enriched with engravings, on steel, of Scott's
wife and eldest daughter- Two other volumes, at
most, will conclude and cempleto the work.
With the advantage, like the last, of being print
ed at the Riverside Press, Sheldon A: Co., of New
York, have issued "Barnaby Budge," in three
volumes, as a further portion of their beautiful
Household Edition of Dickens' (template works.
It contains three original illustrations by Darley,
finely engraved by T. Phillibrown and B. Hinshel- ,
wood. The points thus presented are Budge hear
ing Barnaby outside the window ; Joe Willett part
ing from Dolly Varden, with Sims spying round
the corner; and Barnaby in prison, visited by his
mother and the raven. On re-reading this book,
thus attractively presented, the old conviction of
its author's great power, as a thoroughly plain and
unaffected writer, returned in full force. In Bul
wer, the reader often has to pause and think over
some half page of transcendentalism—some senti
mentally absurd or metaphysically obscure burst of
"fine writing"—but in Dickens all is plain and
clear. The story ever goes on, and the author, as au
thor, is generally kept out of sight. This new and
beautiful edition, equally adapted for the boudoir,
the parlor, and the library, will still further make
Dickens read and admired.
A really good work of prose fiction, published
with Out any preliMinary puffing, is such a novelty
that, having found The Master" to be such, we
eagerly volunteer to officiate as master of the cere
monies and introduce it to the public. It is written
by Mrs. Mary A. Denison, a Massachusetts lady,
author of Several other novels, of which "Grace Ani
bar" is the best. " The Master,' however, is much
superior to any of Mrs. D.'s previous works. The
hero is an accomplished music -master, and the
characters are his family, same of his friends, and
a few of his pupils. As a mere story, the incidents
are well developed, and the conclusion se adroitly
contrived as to remain unguessable until the very
last. In this respect, the anther resembles Mrs.
Henry Wood, the new English novelist. In other
points of execution—such as pure and lofty par
' pose, appropriate language, delicacy of womanly
thought, and apprecielien of womanly charac
ter—she is more akin to Mrs. Stowe (in her hap
piest and gentlest mood), to Harriet B Prescott,
and to the anonymous author of -" Margret
Howtli." At all events, here is a new . and good
novel, breathing poetry and purity, which deserves
to be well known and highly regarded. It is on
sale at 3. B. Lippincott s.
By special arrangement with the author, Messrs.
J. B. Lippincott & Co., of this city, will publisher.

America (Canada and the United States), at the
same time of its appearance in London.
In reply to inquiries about Victor Hugo's " Les
Idishrables," we have to,' state that Casette, the
second pert, was published in Paris a feitnight
ago; Marius, the third part, will follow, this
month; and in July will appear " L'ldyll4- Rue
Plumet et l'Epopie Rue Saint-Denis, and Teein
Traljean, which will complete the work. A well
executed translation of Fetntine, the first part, has
been published by Carleton, New York.
The new volume, (the fifth,) of the Aldine Edi
tion of Thomas Hood's works, edited by Epos Sar
gent, published by G. P. Putnam, and sold here by
Hazard and J. 141cFarlan, contains cc Lainia," a
dramatic sketch, a variety of miscellaneous poems,
now first collected, and More Odes and Addresses
to Great People." Another.volume will complete
the publication.
Last January, when G. P. Putnam commenced'
the beautiful Caxton Edition of the Prose Writings
of Bayard Taylor, (including a new volume of
"Home and Abroad," and a new Romance of
American Life,) we anticipated that it.would be a
superior publication. The issue, in monthly vo
lumes, has been very regular, and the whole get
ting-up of the series shows good taste and liberal
expenditure. The last•issued volume is the fifth,
with illustrations by the author, containing his
"Journey to Central Africa," performed ten years
ago, in which he passed from Egypt up the White
File, into the centre of Africa—a five months'
journey of adventure and discovery, described
with freshness and spirit. This is the eleventh
edition. On sale by. Hazard, and also by IlleFier
lan.
Another book of travels, which has got into a
second edition without our having ever heard of the
first, is an octavo of six hundred pages, published
by Carleton, New York, sent through by T. B.
Peterson .k Brothers, and entitled " Twenty Years
Round the World," by John Guy Vassar. It ap
pears from the Preface, that Mr. :Vassar, after
having visited every State and Capital in-his own
country, determined to visit every Capital in
Europe. 11l health at first compelled him to seek
more genial climes in winter than his native New
York can boast. His letters to his brother and
uncle, sketching his travels, were read by friends,
and finally published in a newspaper in his native
city. At last, yielding to the wishes of those ho
loves and esteems, he has collected and revised his:;;
letters. The result is Ms handsome volume. It
commences in February, 1839, at Havana, and
ends at the Azores in June, 1990• After travel
had improved the author's health, it grew upon
him like a passion, so much so that, last spring, he
attempted to get to Australia from the south coast of
Africa, but failed. Australia and Japan are almost
the only civilized parts of the world Mr. Vassar has'
not visited. He has been all over. Europe, through
Egypt and Asia Minor, to China, the East and West
Indies, the islands of the Pacifio, Mediterranean,
Levant, and Atlantic ; through Canada and the
rest of North America, and largely in Afrioa.
Probably no living mane has travelled more
extensively. The book, let us add, which is
written with elegant simplicity - of diction, with
out the slightest attempt at wordiness and
exaggeration of style and sentiment, bears
internal evidence, all through, of having been
composed as the traveller went along, and a
thoroughly agreeable book it is. Obser•ration and.
good sense are evident ina every page. We can
bear personal testimony to the accuracy of his -
European descriptions. Some places he repeat
edly visited—such as London and Paris--and ever
finds something new to write of each visit. The
book has sine fault, which ought to be remedied in
a new edition—it wants a good and full Index, to
facilitate- reference.

FOURTH NOTICE.
The Thirty-ninth Annual Bxhibition approaches
to its close. It is the best we have ever had in
this city. Rich in landscape, marine viewi, land
scapes, genre, sculpture, and portraits, its variety
constitutes its great charm and value. Want of
space haLeonapelled us to keep our notioes within
limit, but we have indicated tho character of the
Exhibition.
Here, ere we proceed, let us make the anzende
to Mr. Beagle. if ho were of the softer sex, an
error Ave lately fell into, when noticing his por
traits here, would be wholly unpardonable—for we
overstated his age. This eminent artist is by no
means venerable in years, though undoubtedly to
be venerated for his talent. It is a natural ten
dency of the mind to associate age with long-estab
lished ability and fame, and Byron was a Melba-
Selah in reputation, when little more than a boy in
appearance. Mr. Neagle, unfortunately, exhibits
few new pictures; but two portraits (Nos. 307 and
318) in the Northwest gallery, indicate his power
and genius..
Hamilton, theinarine-painter, in whom appear
to be united the best charaotellaties of Turner and
Stanefield, is.iligreater force, in the present exhi
bition, than he ever has beeta before. His great
pictures (47, " New York Harbor," and 107, " What
are the wild waves saying ?") would command at
tention and win admiration any where, even in
competition with the best Masters of Art of whom
England; Germany, and Franee arose justly prowl.
But his merit is eminently perceptible, also, in his
etches—pictures in miniature, so to say, full of
grace, beauty, and truth—of which several are to
be seen in the Rotundo. Among these is a drawing
in sepia, belonging to Col. Fitzgerald, (No. 401,)
showing " A Wreck," which is a perfect study of
itself. Mr. Hamilton's facility, ability, industry,
and truthfulness, are in happy combination.
B. Moran is an artist in the same line as Remit
ton,—not equal to him, (in the poetical feeling,
for instance, which actually throws expression into
that wondrous " What are the wild waves
saying?") but still showing marked ability and a
good eye for color. llis best pictures here aro
(37) " Coast Scene near New Brunswick," which
won our admiration in a former notice, and (123)
"A Talley in the Sea off the Coast of Groat
Britain." The idea, which is well carried out, is
to give a submarine view,—that is, to paint marine
life and what may be called marine scenery. The
picture is undoubtedly a brilliant and singular
production, but we believe that the artist has not
exceeded, what is known to be true, and what is
felt to bo probable of the treasures and wonders of
the deep.
In former notices we touched upon the successful
efforts,of other artists—of Sully and Beagle, Roth
armed and Waugh, Lewis and Boutelle, Conarroe and
Richards, T. Moran and the 'Lambdine, Schussele
and the Smiths, and many more of our own artists,
as well as those from New York and other places,
who have also contributed. We have to glance at
a few others, who are worthy of notice.
In the Northeast Gallery are two companion cabi
net- pictures by Lilly M. Spencer,' (Nos. 142 and
150,) respectively entitled "Speculation" and
" Tribulation." In the first, a bonny country lass
is shown on her way to market, laden with chick
ens and a basket of eggs, evidently pleased with
herself and all the world, and smiling, in all the
pleasures of hope, at the prospect of the profits her
little traffic will make, and her disposition of them.
Evidently, slm walks along in a sort of happy
phantasy, building castles in the air, as eagerly as
did Alnasher, the glass-vendor in the Arabian
'Nights. In the second picture the scene is changed,
'for the country lass has comp . to grief ; making a
false stop, .rho loses her balance in trying to save
herself from falling, and the basket of eggs tum-
Jaletron the ground, a sad rain, while her chickens
alGe in a dreadful state of alarm. The pictures,
'each of which tells its own story, are well painted,
and will probably find a purchaser ere the exhibi
' flan closes.
There aro three pictures by Charles F. Blau
.valt,—each of which is sufficiently demonstrative
-as not to requital description from us. " Burnt
Out," (No. 90,) "Reading the News," (492,) and
"The Snow Shoveller," (493,) are cabinet pictures
of much mere than average merit. They carry
out the artist's intention, and are at once expres
? sive .andaeuggestive, with more breadth than is
,usual in the treatment of familiar subjects, but
'very true and correct, and telling.
W S. Hazeltine, a Philadelphian painter located
in New York, presents a'striking and peculiar pic
ture of the landscape class - No. 3 on the catalogue
—called " The Willow Swamp," which, in its color
• and tone as well as in its scenery, shows close ob
servation of nature. The peculiar light given of
the stunted trees, visible only where they grow in
very damp places, is here rendered very truly.
"Rye Beech, New Hampshire," (1040 by the
same artist, is also well painted, but not sostriking
• as the other.
The exhibition of sculpture is not considerable
this year, but a few new pieces aro noticeable. For
instance, a bust of Mr. Cornelius, by S. Boardman
Downing ; some busts by leaao Broome, and, (to
us the most remarkable thing of the year,) a por
trait-bust of the late gallant and lamented Colonel
Baker, by Miss Inez R. F. Lewis, a young.girl who
has only just entered into her teens, and. has re..
<salved all her artistical tuition in this Academy.
The likeness is very good, and Miss Lewis has
.given the exact expresaion of the original. Here,
too, are busts of the Hon. Simon and Mrs. Came
ron. That of the lady is better than the other.
In the Catalogue, "Alfred Stanch" is sot
down as the artist, whereas he did no more
than perform the mechanical business of cut
ting them in marble from the models made,
at Washington, by W. hi. Swayne, of West Ches
ter. This ought to have been done by Mr. Swayne
himself, according to all artistical etiquette—that
be who takei the likeness in clay shall also execute
it in marble, if required. Even the law, as re
peatedly ruled by judicial authorities, acknow
ledges this artist right—otherwise Canova might
-a model, and any stonecutter destroy its
poetry, by hewing the marble into something like
Bet image, but lacking all the finer and final couches
~ o f the original creative mind. No. 387, Mr.
• Siveyne'a own bust of General Anthony Wayne, is
a fine work of art, and In complete accordance, as to
likeness, with Mx. Rothermel's noble portrait of
. :et Mad Anthony," in the Southeast Gallery.
. The works of art in the Rotundo aro worthy of
. 11 long visitand careful examination. In the cen
tre, that splendid group by John Graham Lough,
of London, of the Battle of the Centaurs and
Lapithaa, will always challenge attention : this is
the original model. On the walls hang fine spool
' hens by "the elder and better " masters—Gilbert'
Stuart, West, Opie, Gerard Dow, Leslie, Sally,
Neagio,--"with numerous small pieces by Hamilton,
E. • Moran, T. W. Richards, Harrison Lambdin,
B. M. Towne, George L. Brown, De Haas, C. T.
'Blauvelt, W. T. Richards, Xenthus Smith, Miss
`Mary,Smith, and others.
Mr. niter Fitzgerald shows a Water Color
Sketch (434), which reminds one of S. Pewit, and
is wonderfully good, the artist's age considered.
llere;otno, is S. B: Waugh's full-length portrait of
the Hon. Simon Camaron. The pose is admirable—
nothing could be better, because of its truth—and
the likeness is good, but the color appears raw,
especially the face, as if the artist had only half
glazed it.
The present exhibition of the Academy proves
one important fact, which cannot receive too earnest
thought from those interested in the future of
American art : It is the value of the educational
system upon which the institution is now based,
and which, in the last five years, has been so ably
developed. 'lbis value is shown clearly by the
great impiovement in the works of the younger
artists, students of the Academy, who have wisely
used its splendid opportunities of instruction. The
general improvement, especially in drawing,
will be noticed by every critical eye, and
must unquestionably be traced to the influences
of the art school. The free classes for the
study of the antique, the living model, and
the lectures on Artistic Anatomy, aro invaluable,
for it isimposaible to found a national art, without
basing it upon knowledge of principles and laws.
It is not talent that America lacks—as many ho
norable names have proved—but - the culture which
is essential to the perfection of talent. Through
the means the Academy offers, free of cost, any
young artist of ability may now thoroughly de
velop his talent. Its facilities for study are greater
than any over before known in America, and it is no
longer necessary for artists to visit Europe to study
their profession. All they need is liberally sup
plied at home. Philadelphia has excellent reason
to be proud of this noble institution, and it is fortu
nate in possessing a president. and board of di
rectors, whose energy has so greatly increased its
usefulness. 'We cannot doubt that great artists
will yet become an honor to America, who will look
back with pride to the Academy as their Alma
Mater—men who may be to the next generation
what Sully, Neaglo, Rothermel, and Hamilton are
to the present.

OUR WAR_CORIRSPONDENCE,
FROM GEN. McCLELLAN'S ARMY.
[Special Coffeepots:lame of The Press.]
HEADQUARS2/113 ARMY Of 71E6 POTOMAC,
June 6,1862.
THE POSITION.
Within the past two weeks the relative situations of the
two opposing armies have been materially changed. In
the last week of May the Obickehominy river was the
boundary over which neither party stepped, but since
then things have materially changed. The battle at Ha
nover Court Rouse, and Its results in ruining. the Vir
ginia Central railroad to Ashlaud, and putting that plate
in our pOSSOSSIin, greatly strengthened the natural de
fences on onr right wing, which, although still behind the
Chickahominy, is there in each force that it virtually pro.
vents the rebels from occupying the fields immediately
bordering the stream on their side, or sending marauding
parties across the numerous fords and bridges. Our right
rests in force on Meadow's Bridge, five miles north-north
west of Richmond, near the crossing of the Central road;
thence for four miles down it holds the northeastern bank'
of the river, with three bridges. At a point west of
Richmond, six miles distant from it, our forces are across
the river, and the front bears away to the eolith ward
until it strikes the James river. The entire front of the
army is a gem:Lent of a circle, with the concavity toward
the enemy, the left being south of Richmond, and sup
ported by gunboats on James river, eight miles front the
city, the rigid being northwest of the capital, at Idecba
niceville and its vicinity, distant four and a half miles.
The Richmond and York-river railroad is In running
order to Savage's Station, a short distance across tho
Chickahominy, and supplies our left wing with provisions
and forage. The right wing is supplied from Dispatch
.
ar:d Perez, Stallone, points nearer White House, from
which stations there is a wagon transportati JD varying
from ono to ton miles, according to the distance of the
troops.
Under cover of a heavy fire of artillery, which ef
fectually silenced the rebel batteries, General Smith yes
terday croeeed the Chickahominy ate point whore our
troops had previously erected a bridge, on the left centre
of our line. Ile had a large force, and mot with no great
opposition. The policy of the campaign seems to be to
gradually cross, at favorable opportuuitiee, from the left
wing around to the right. Every division crossing is
nearer end nearer the right wing. About one-half of
else army have already crossed, and Saturday and Sun
day's conflict no the left wing, whilst it gained us but a
slightly advanced position, so crippled the rebels as to
effectually insure the safety of all the Federal troops
across the stream.
Continuous artillery fights aro taking place between
the batteries of the two armies along the five miles for
which the river is the bomulary. The gunsaregenerally
a mile and a half distant from each other, and as the
stream and swamp are in a rather depressed valley, each
parry can see across so the Other, observing the effects of
the shots and the movements of troops The rebels show
.ruost mieerible gunnery, and In these conflicts they are
generally the losers. A dozen or two Federal ehelle
generally eilencetheir batteries, and we can distinctly
see them running back under cover of the woods, some
times drawing their cannon after them. Save one rebel
shell which fell into General Ellocomb's camp two days
since, not one of any thrown causes us the slightest , da
wage. They do not fall short, but the rebels have poor
Marksmen or inaccurate guns, not ono I have ever neon
fire ken appeared to me to be inaccurately aimed. Our
gunners show their superiority at once, by making the
enemy desert their guns, but in no case have the rebels,
in any of these duels across the liver, ever forced us to
tun away from our Pieces.,We always have the last
• shot, and usually send it curveting after a squad of Meg
rebels, whose powers of locomotion are inimitable.
. 'We are slowly but enmity progressing, and every day
drawing closer around Richmond.
A GONNA:MEE-Ix- CHIEF'S ENCAMPMENT.
Few civillens ever think of General McClellan's home
In this great tented field without having a confused mix
ture of tents, horses, soldiers, and other military matters,
constantly before their eyes They have no idea of the
modesty and regularity, the neatness and order, of the
home cf the General and hie staff. Perhaps, to satisfy
' this need, it would not be superfluous wore Ito eend you
a description of the headquarters' encampment near Now
bridge, at which place, for the pest ten days, the business
of an army of one hundred and fif.y thousand mon has
been transacted.
In the corner of a field of five hundred acres, sur
rounded on two sides by woodland, the tents are pitched.
The camp is on a hill, a quarter of a mile from any road,
-and the whole covers a space of four acres. The ground
plan of the camp is a parallelogram, with the staff tents
on the long sides, the General's tent on the short side,
nearest the road, asid the guard-tents ou the other.
At the upper end of this parallelogram, a space a hun
dred fat aquare is malted out, constantly guarded by
sentinels, and ripen which no one, no matter how high
in position, is allowed to encroach. In the centre of this
sacred spot are two wall-tents, cash about twenty feet
square, - set alongside of one another, though with a slight
intervening space. The left-hand one la occupied by
General McClellan, the other by his father-in-law, Gene
ral Marcy, the chief of staff. Both are furnished alike;
each has a stove, camp stools, and table, cortege, camp
bed, (leek, and toilet materials, and variOns wine bottles
• about, denote the means used, oven by major
generale, to beguile wears Lours and entertain visitors.
In front of the general's Jent, a hundrel fat-wide street
runs, to the opposite side of the camp, where two or three
peaked Sibley tents are pitched to accommodate the eel
diers• acting., as the camp-guard. On each side of this
street unto are pitched, whcee occupants decrease in
. honor according as they are farther away from the
general. These are the tents of the staff ofticere—the
provost marshal general, the adjutant general, the in
spector general, the quartermasters and commissaries,
the aids to the commander-in-chief, Ac. A row behind
these, on each aide, is devoted to under-ofticers and
clerks, and, a thirld row to eervante. Outside of all
this tlte home are picketed, and further still are the
headquarters baggage train, ea useful in moving all this
paraphernalia. Rana tent Is like a small parlor, well
finished, and having every comfort and luxury one could
expect. The officers who occupy them are always about,
chatting and talking, the business of many of them not
requiring attention more than °lnstant - 0 of the time.
The clerks and aids, however, have the most difficult
duties. They prepare everything for those they assist,
a simple reading or signing being generally all that is
required of the superior officer.
The above is a brief description of the encampment of
the leader of the army of the Potomac. As little space
as possible is always occupied, and amid its quiet and
seclnsion shoes plans are formed which will soon make
a proud foe succumb.
IL QUAKER
Yankees nro proverbial for shrewdness, cunning, and
jekea, and, when Yankee and robel play together, to see
who is the 'mutest, the rebel neuelly comes off second
beat. The hth Maine Infantry, containing some of the
cutest Yankees in the land, was on picket duty, yester
day afternoon, near Mechanicsville. About three o'clock
some of them discovered a pair of wheels, and put their
heads together to find out what to do with them. Whilst
deliberating, a squad of rebel officers elegantly dressed
and mounted on splendidly caparisoned. horses, made
their appearance on a hill a miledistant, end commenced
amine an about with their Mild glasses. This made up
the minds of the Yankees. The wheels were hidden,
and a party sent off, which clime back with a round
black-looking log, and a slow match. The log Wa3 lashed
to the axle, and tbcn all waited to see what the rebel
squad was at. Directly every field glass in the whole
party woo bent on the Yankee picketers, when out cams
the extemporised cannon, which, with great formality,
was pointed in range for the bill on which the curiosity
bunters stood. It wee leaded and primed, when in away
go the brace rebels, each one trying to get ahead of the
other, tI a horses galloping, the riders urging them faster,
and over the intervening spice went a shout of derision
from the Yankee regiment which no doubt was like a
thorn in the side of each of the easily-frightened foe.
A YIIIGINIA: GUIST MILL
A short time since, I entered a deserted grist mill to
secure protection from a thunder storm, and whilst the
bled was passing over bad ample time to observe the
mill and its contents. In the North, we are used to large
mills with all the modern conveniences for cleaning the
grain, boiling the flour, and facilitating the storage and
transportation of the manufactured article. I never
knew, until the rain drove me into this mill, that grain
could be grnond wish so small au amount of machinery.
The building was of frame, two-thirds of its height
being a peaked roof. It was sot on piles, and the wheel
was alongside uncovered, as likewise were the minor
wheels and axles which conducted the power to the
building. The wheel woe ton feet in diemeter and driven
by water conducted over it by one of the old:fashioned
troughs. Two or three cogged wheels served to alter the
directiim of the power from vertical to horizontal, to re
gulate it and conduct it to the mill-atones inside. The
floor of the mill was of broad boards, with all sorts of
chinks and knot-holes. On a raised platform, at the
back, stood a single pair of mill-atones, a crane for re
moving the upper one when necessary being fastened
into the wall. The machinery hero was of the rudest
and simplest description. The grain, without any
previous preparation, was led between the atones,
and afterwards fell through a constantly-shaken sieve
of bolting cloth into a bin, out of which it wee
taken and given to customers. There was no means
of separating wheat from bran, or granulating the
flour, or• separating the products of different grains
Everything—wheat, oats, bran, corn, barley, and
whatever else brought for grluding—went between
the some pair of stones and fell into the same bin, and
half the flour sold from tide Virginia mill no doubt was
a mixture of all the cereals grown on Virginia's soil. This
is the second ruin I have seen in the Old Dominion, and
I was astonithed at the rndemachinery and the miserable
Preduct the chivalry were forced to put up with. This
mill is within tire miles of the centre of the oldest Com
monwealth to the Union, yet its tiouriug mills are of a
description that would scarcely be tolerated in Oregon or
Minnesota, and which are never even in the wildest por
tions of the North. The poorest machinery and poorest
arrangements, necessarily insuring the peered product,
seem to be the rule in all Southern industrial manufac
tures. Thank fortune, an infusion or Northern energy
will be mingled into Southern character by this war
and ; after it is over, a new era in manufactures, com
merce, azd patriotism, may be relied on.
The paymasters of the army have been in nearly all the
tempi during the 'last few dam and as a consequence
there Is plenty of money about. Provident mon, when
paid, send the principal part of their money home ti their
Swaim, and nearly every regiment can foot up a lame
amount sent by the officers and men to enrich their hoMe
neighborhoods. The 16th, 27th, and 32d Nei , York, let,
2d, 3d, and 4th New Jersey, sth Maine, 49th, 90th, and
96th, and I believe 96th Pennsylvania, with the Lincoln
cavalry, and Arnold's battery, from New York, have all
been paid off. The 96th Pennsylvania sent home 89, 0 0 7
by allotment, and over $12,000 by letter, Mr. A. L; Gee,
of Cordon, Schuylkill county, the sutler of the regiment,
kindly going home to distribute the money. Mr. Gee and
his assistant, Mr. John Heebner, are two honest sutlers,
a date very rarely, found in this or any other scow.

[Special Oorreapondecice of The Prens. j
News from Winchester
11.1nren's FIiBRY, Vs., June 7,1652
This place at present Is full of rumors in relation to the
movements of cur armies in the Valley of Virginia,
Many of which aro so ridiculous that they provko a
laugh, while others bear upon their face many marks of
probability. Persons who arrived here from Winches
ter last evening, report that our commanders in that
place expected a battle to take place to-day, ant had
given orders that all wagons and proviaion trains should
be moved several miles north, and that no more wagons
should be sent from Harper's Ferry until further orders.
Per contra to this, upward. of 75 wagons arrived front
Winchester last night, and they are busy loading them
to-day, and starting them back to the place they came
from. Meet of the officers at this place laugh , at the re
ports about the advance of Jackson. in consequence of
the river being so swollen by the late heavy- rains, our
forces lave not advanced much further south than Win
chester, and during the time they have been waiting
there, numerous heavy addition., both in men and arms,
hero been made to our forces, until they at present pre
sent a very formidable front to the rebels, and one
which, if they run egalest, will surely annihilate them.
It is the opinion of many prominent officers that Jack

heavy !lend' have not been witnessed in this region for
several years, although freshets cf smaller dimensions
have been quite frequent of late. The destruction of rail
road and other property haa been immense, and it wilt
take a long time end a largo sum of money to repair
damages. It commenced to rain .on Tuesday morning,
.and continued unabated until late on . Thursday night.
The water in the Potomac commenced to rise on Wednes
day morning, and continued unabated until it reached Ite
climax, on Wednesday night. The water rose over twenty
feet, and carried away everything movable in its path.
For several hours the river and canal were merged into
One, and LIM ikation was stopped.. Bridges on the latter
were washed away, and locks were damaged to a con
siderable extent. The large trestle work of.tho Baltimore
and Olio railroad, over the Potomac at - tiflt; place, was
rimost wholly wept away, and, therefore, corthettaleation
with the Maryland side has been stopped. It was only
a temporary etruetare , the railrinul comp any being un
willing to ppt up a splendid new iron• bridge, which they
had made for them in Baltimore, so long as the rebel army
continued in the valley of Virginia The water Is falling
rapidly, and by this evening it ie expected that it will be
at its proper level. The intentions of the railroad com
pany are not known, but it is expected that they
brirg on their new bridge and put it in its proper posi
tionaerhere to at present no communication, telegraphic
or otherwise, with the Mier aide of the Potomac, and
will not be until the rope ferry is again in operation.
Beepaiches have been Pent to Washington, asking the
Government to send a tugboat up hero, but it has not yet
made de appeal ance.
The rise In the Shenandoah was no less rapid and dis
aatrous than that in the Potomac. The trestle work on
the Winchester Railroad, about half a mile above this
piece, has been swept au ay, and probably other pro
perty on the same road, further south, has shared the
spine fete.. The houses on the banks of the Shenandoah,
at this place, are built on lower ground than thou, on the
Potomac, and c mseithently many of them wore half
overflowed, and the occupants were compelled to leave
'them, and seek refuge with their friends. Boats were in
requisition. I observed many persons rowing into the
houses through the second.story windows. The water
on the Shenandoah commenced to enbeide early on Thurs
day moniing, and at this time it is down to its old level.
The people on its banks ear that each a freshet has not
visited them for several years, and that the destruction of
property must have been immense. J. 21. C.

The City Under Martial Law.
[Fran the Charleston Mercury of the 14th ult.]
'llia day, at noon, martial law takes the place of civil
authority in Charleston. At a juncture like the present,
doubtless, there ore good reasons, for thus placing the
government of our noble old city in military hands. If
the officers, who have been invested with 'the control of
affairs in our midst, exercise their functions with wis
dom, alumina, and impartiality, the establishment of
martial law will prove to be a welcome, as well as a bene
ficial measure. The people of this community will cheer
fully conform to the regulattors of the military com
manders, and, as far as our resident population are con
cetned, we do not doubt that Charleston will be found,
even in these troublous days of excitement and blood, to
maintain its ancient name for quiet and good order.
But there is another point, on which we deem it right
to speak .ont, plainly and at once. There are quite a
. number of Confederate troops now encamped in our city,
and we hear that others are soon to arrive. We tel as
sured that the vast majority of these soldiers are man
worthy their State, and worthy the great cause in sup
port of which they have shouldered their muskets. Bat
there are acme among them whose conduct, during the
short time the) have been here, has been such as to
bring disgrace upon the commands to which they are at •
tacked.
It has repeatedly happened, within tho 'eat few days,
that ladies have been rudely accosted and insulted by
soldiers in the public thoroughfares. In some instances,
outrages of the most flagrant character have been com
mitted, with rwrfect Impunity, be men wearing the nut.
form of Southern volunteers. We do not know who the
offender' ure ; but wo do know that, in the city of
Charleston, such acts cannot and will not be allowed to
Continue. We call upon the officers of the troops now
etationed here to protect cur halloo, by the enforcement
of sobriety and goad behavior among the men of their
commends, and by visiting upon the first soldier who may
be ebown to have conducted himself in the rummer we
have mentioned, milt. severe, and public punishment

An Earnest Appeal.
[Firm the Mobile Evening Nowa, May lec)
The yolks for the defence of the city are nearly com
pleted. Let them be fe lobed at once. A united and
determined effort will do it, and save our city. If it once
fall into the hands of the enemy, they wilt never
surrender it without first having destroyed it. This
work is an imperious necessity that brooks no delay.
The maintenance of our home* and property, and the
preserration of our families, or the abandonment of all,
is the issue. To carry on our business in future let us
suspend it now. For a few days let us make our defences
our business. Let us know no other till they are corn
pkted. We invoke all men who love their homes and
their families, and who value their property, to torn out.
Let them, when not notified to report elsewhere, rally at
the Armory, and repair to the works, and labor daily tilt
the defences are all the General wishes them to be. Let
them bring shovels and barrows where they cau. Our
General is gallant, nothing, and confident. Let every
man support and stand by lilm to the list.

[From the Richmond DiaPatch.]
We do not believe that the world has ever seen sneh
material as compote the rank and file of the Southern
army. Napoleon never led a braver and better set of
men. Is Melly retpects they are superior to the vete
rans of France, for they are actuated by higher motives
and have made greeter sacrifices. They have left com
formble homes, whin.° none of thenrever knew the want
of one single thing necessary to human comfort. Unlike
the troops of the North, they have not been forced Into
the army to obtain a subsistence. On the contrary, they
tare entered the army voluntarily, and given up the
comfortable subeistr nee which they were sure of at home
for the purpose of servin`g their country. They have lived
upon ouch fad and di eased in each clothes as they would
not have.given to their own negroes; they have slept upon
the bare ear th , and been exposed to themummer sane and
winter snows for the pure and imeelfish love of indepen

They have rot ixen animated by any vulgar love of
glory, by any ideas of conquest, end far less of spoils and
rapine. hinny of them are meu of property, not a few
of v saint, and all accustomed to ease and comfort. They
are willing to do anything, to endure anything, to dare
anything in tefence of their country. All honor to their
officers, but their °facers honor theinselvet most in honor

Yankee Plans—Ballooning

and Stripes afloat in Richmond. by laying plans to mur
der and rob all of our people who may with to prevent
the consommation of their dearly-chorishod project.
For several days past they ha . ve cavorted around the
suburbs in efficient numbers to pillage with impunity,
but not to moot any respectable force, on whose appser
once they would fly like frightened sheep. Yesterday,
with characteristic caution, they sent up Professor Lowe
in hie famous balloon to observe the motions of the re
bels. The machine, which was distinctly observed by a
large plumber of spectators inAble city, was embellished
with two United' States flags, and seconded about four
miles from the city; in a northeast direction. No doubt
the observations of the Yankee aeronaut were satiafac
tory, no by three o'clock a tight was reported in progress
between the Abolition and Southern forces, at the head
of the Mechanicsville turnpike.
General Butler's Capers
[From the Miteiesippion.]
From our telegraphic column it will be seen that Ones.
Butler is cutting up sundry fantastic capon In the Cres
cent City. Be is grinding the people of that devoted city
to the lowermost depths of humiliation and oppression.
We are glad of It. It will teach those Southern cities not
yet occupied by the Vandal hortioe of the North what
they have to expect when, to save their property, they
surrender their manlineer, dignity, and liberties to such
bands.
WO are all the mendacity. treachery, roguery, false
hocd. and ttickery of the Yankee character In the con
duct of Picayune Puller. His attempt to iacite the poor
against the rich, add to force the unfortunate population
of that city, by the stern gnawinge of hanger, to tako up
arms against their country, is truly a magniticent Yeti
-kee hick." Be will protect property ! Private rights
are to be respected ! Oh. yes: that's what he came for.
The poor have now the stern alternative of tatting up
elms against their country and their brothers, or starve
to death. The rich are to be despoiled of their pow:m
elons, end ell their wealth turned over to the vulture
clutches of Lincoln's minions, to be used in their own ir
retrievable poverty and enslavement lime are the le
gitimate fruits of surrendering to save properly !
It the telegraph is true, and we have no reason to
doubt it, Butler is doing good service to our cause. For
the sake of our liberty, we hope he will not tire! Go on,
brave Butler, and destroy every vestige of liberty !
Grind New Orleans to very hoarder ! Buie the city with
a rod of iron!' Starve the people, or make them yoke
your plundering, thieving army ! Give it no Quarter;
you will teach them to surrender! It is a terrible war
you have of teaching. but, it seems, acme or our people
will learn in no other. You are teaching oar people
WO important truths, which we have in these columns
etriven in vain to impress upon them.

Perish armies! Perish property! Perish everything !
But surrender, saran!"

More Treachery.
[Fit m the Lynchburg Beenidicam]
It is reliably stated that the Confederate boat A. U.
St bite was smrer-dercd to the enemy at Old Point by
the treachery of its commander. Capt. Byers. The boat,
a email steamer had been ordered to Sowell's Point to
take off some guns, preparatory to the evacuation of our
lines at Norfolk, when, by thalreachery of its comman
der, it was brought under the guns of Old Point, ami
surrendered to the enemy.
By the information obtained by the Yankees front this
ecoundrel, they sent their vessels up James river while
-the Merrimac was taking on coal, and eilenced two of
out batteries above Norfolk. This num Byers is a Now
Jereeyruan, but has livid for come time in the South, and
ever since the war commenced has been employed as she
Hag-of-truce man betweou Norfolk and 010 Point. This
is another instance of the impolicy and filly of employing
Yankees in the Confmderate servico. Not one ought to

Forts and Batteries versus Iron Clads.
[nom the Mobile Evening News, May 18.]
If New Orleans was never to be defended after the
enemy's ships had made their way to it, its fate may be
considered only to have been anticipated, inasmnch as in
a few weeks the enemy will have:ldeate lumberer ucean
gotng batteries, invulnerably plated with Iran armor, mar
-1,, fog enormous armaments, and of great tonnage, which
would have -eventually passed the river defencee. It is
wise for no to remember that though we defy the efforts
which the enemy's shining now on our coast may make
against Mobile, other and more terrible agencies for the
capture or dettruction of our city may ere loughs brought
against it. Since the demonstrated availability entail-clad
craft. even Great Britain no longer centi les in the powerful
fortifimti lons of her barbers, the perfectingand strengthen
ing of which has been the work of cent !tries, but trembles
with well-ruunded apprehension for her coa.t cities in the
event of a war with any naval Power. Our enemy will
e on hive an iron-clad senadron afloat for assamt upon
the coast cities we yet hold, and if human ingenuity can
device any poteible 'nettled by which they can be de
fended against attack in such guise, let ti go to work fur
our protection. Peppily, in the case of Mobile, the alt.
Preaches to the city are 50 shallow that an Invulnerably
irrn. clad vessel, of eufficienily light draught to come
within range, would hardly be seaworthy for the voyage
.ont front the North. Could abe make the voyage, ob
structions in the channel would not avail, as she could
deliberately remove them under fire, and dig her war
through to the city. The day of forts and batteries as
coast defences is past. lienceforth belligerents must meet
iron with iron.
Heroic Cavalry Charge
[From the Chicago Evening Journal, of the 28th ult.]
11. correspondent, alluding to the late skirmish noir
Fmmington, says:
.In this extremity General Paine, etcited at the time,
gave the order for the batteries to fall back to the road,
and the infantry to follow. To cover this retreat, and
step this bail of hurtling balk. and ART), the cavalry was
called neon. The.regiment of 2,1 lowa Cavalry. under
command of Col. Hatch, and Majors Love and Kukeo,
and three email companies of regulars, under Lieutenant
Gordon, were ordered to charge upon the batteries ! The
order was a rail one, but it was an order. Five hundred,
iu all, to charge a battery In the face of ten thousand !
put they did it, and thanks to the bad gunnery of the
rebels, they nearly all returned to tell the talc, many of
thins, alas. speaking by gaping wounds, and riddled,
tattered garments.
Lieut. Gorden, who is himself a conspicuous character
in more than one charge of cavalry. ears the sight trans
cended all belief. The bravo lowans, who had but re
cently left their ploughs afield, now called upon to face
death, and ride to the cannon's mouth, with the tree
spirit of heroes filled up the ravine, and on reaching the
top of the hilt, spread out, galloped up to the batteries,
demolishing like iightrdng a line of skirmishers is their
way.

Truly enough, for the whole of the guns weresweeping
the plain with shrapnel and canister. Luckily the de
pression wee too great. The ballewhistled and flow into
the ground all round and beneath them. The mortality
among the horses was fearful, ninety-three of the num
ber being wounded:andkilled. Col.Hatch's anxiety for hie
men to follow him bad now changed into an anxiety to
recall them. Onward they charged, right up to the bat.
terlee, slashing and hewing down the gunners with their
Embrey, read to the call of their gallant lender, who saw
that the object was accomplished, the guns limbered and
silenced, end the enemy on the right in disorder, while
on the left he was closing in.
Orderlies rent to the different companiee flnallr rallied
the men. Slowly and deliberately they rode back over
the field. The .enemy was silent on the left. One
artiPery and infantry had hafted into the woods, and
were fairs. back to the main body. The route wee
strewed with dead bones. The wounded were helped on
to the horses of'their comrades, while the unborsexttook
to the woods on their lett. Gordon, who more pradentir
but with equal coolness remained in the rear, saw the
desperate charge end cared for ;the sufferers, burying
two on the field with sabres while stiff under fire. Taken
altogether, this is one of the most magnificent feats of the
war. No cavalry charge since that of the memorable
Light Brigade is, comparable with it. In these days,
when cavalry is beginning to be looked on with some dis
trust, It is creditable to tee one regiment which will not
flinch in its duty even at the risk of certain death.
