VOL. 5.-NO. 268.

SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1862.
EVERY srsr taken by the sympathizers with
the rebellion proves to be a blunder. The
independent journals are dissecting their
course on the bill to appoint diplomatic repre
sentatives at Ilay.ti and Liberia with the
greatest severity. The Germantown Tele
graph, speaking of Mr. BIDDLE'S vituperative
speech against this measure, says:
"We may add, that at the very moment Mr. B.
and one or two others wore denouncing and attempt
ing to ridicule the bill, denying to the colored man
the common rights of humanity, and calling theni
a miserable set of worthless animals,. unfit to be
recognized by white moo, the New York papers
were printing the foot that the Baytien Congress
opened on the 21st of April, the legate of the Pope,
and the representatives of England, France, and
Spain being present."
The following passage from the able speech
of Bon. ROBERT 111.0 KNIGHT, one of the Repre
sentatives of Allegheny county in the present
Congress, delivered on the Sd instant, In favor
of this bill, quietly and completely ridicules
the miserable logic of these small partisans :
4, It would detract, sir, from the dignity of the
occasion and the force of the argument, to descend
from the lofty plane of statesmanship, on which this
great international question should be met and dis
posed of, to notice the only objection I have ever
had against this measure—an objection which would
seem to bo the offspring of -a prejudiced mind and
perverted judguient, the veriest saffron of. the
jaundiced eye . Yet I feel constrained AO allude
to it, beeause.it recently saw the light in an -argu
ment against this bill, which has been published in
the rifle's! organ of this House, that is, that'll' Teen•
nixed, they might bo represented at this republican
court by [to use the very language) a full-blooded
negro ; and I regret to find the objection reiterated
by the gentleman from Ohio, [Mr. Cox. I and by my
colleague from Philadelphia, [Mr. Biddle,l whose
citizens of all parties have petitioned Congress this
very session for its passage.
"Sir, this is a non sequitur, for I judge that
these 'Governments will desire to be represented
near ours by those who can best serve them, which,
in the present state of feeling and prejudice, I sub
mit) white agents could. Acting on this view, Li
beria has always been represented in London by
General Ralston, Esq., a highly-respected gentle.
man from Philadelphia, who has negotiated most
of her treaties with European Powers.
"But even accepting the proposition in all Cs
enormity, I ask whether we shall hesitate to do
what the august Court of St. James, and the polite
Court of St. Cloud, and the proad Court of Brazil,
never thought of doing; their treaties with Mho
containing no stipulations about the size, shape,
or color of the agents of either of the high con
tracting parties. And when it, is remembered, Air.
Speaker, that the most arrogant and haughty, Der-..
haps, of all those who in this land looked down
upon the negro—namely, the whilom Senator, but
now rebel, Meson, of Virginia—was quite recently
observed sitting in the gallery of the British Par
liament beside one of these swarthy representatives
(if I mistake not) of this very Hayti, on apparently
the most amicable terms, I think we Representa
tives of a Republic need not take the alarm lest
such a diplomatist should come between the wild
and qur nobility.'
An ESTEEMED CORRESPONDENT writes as fol
lows of the gallant loyalists of the city of
Baltimore
"To the people of the North we say th 13a111.
more is loyal by a limb:lad majority, and, if tho
Government will permit,'we will display it in such
manner as we know will result in the crushing out
of traitors in this city ; but as long as they (the
traitors) are allowed to openly express dialoyal
sentiments,. and denounce the Government, and
express their sympathy for the rebels, so long will
treason flourish in one,midet.
"The noble stand made by the Ist Maryland,
their heroic bravery, their undaunted courage,
Should at least convince the North that Baltimore
loyalists are to be depended upon. We are now
raising two regiments to take the place of the one
destroyed, and from the manner chat volunteering
is now going on, I have no doubt that they will
soon be filled up. Three Maryland regiments left
here immediately upon the news being made known,
and are now with General Banks. They.swore,
upon leaving here, that they would take no pri
soners, and that the massacre of the Ist Maryland
should be avenged. We have now eleven regi
ments in active service, and, if propel- efforts are
made by our State authorities, we can soon have
our full number in the field. These facts have
been hastily put together to correct, what appears
to the.writer to be a false position, that our State
and city have been placed in by seine of the North
ern press and statesmen. As an evidence of-public
sentiment in this city, I enclose the resolutions
adopted by the Union City Convention, which is
composed of delegates from every ward in thin
city, elected during the last month. They were
adopted unanimously.
, g A LOYAL BALTDIOREAN."
We copy the most important of the resolu
tions referred to by our . correspondent :
Resolved by the Union City. Convention of
Baltimore, That we reaffirm our unconditional
adbesion to the Constitution and Government of
the United States.
Resolved, That the National Government ought
not to lay down its arms until its authority shall be
acknowledged and obeyed in every portion of the
national territory.
i Resolved, That the attempt to revive a politioal
Organization under the leadership of men who have,
by their votes and speeches, encouraged the rebel
! ion or carped at the necessary measures of the
Government in its hour of trial, or failed to sym
pathize in the great uprising of the people to de
fend the Union, ought to be discouraged by every
true patriot as a selfish and dieloyal effort to obtain
power in the future, by conciliating those who are
now in flagrant rebellion.
Resolved, That we cordially approve the firm
.and vigorous efforts of the Administration to main
tain the integrity and honor of our country, to
0 • rthif i t l iriiintegA t TairglitridtaVa i trae,lt
icing as the insurrection• is raging, leniency is
Wasted alike upon the rebels in arms and upon
their malignant sympathizer!, at home; and that all
efforts at conciliation will prove unavailing till the
Government shall have fully demonstrated its
power.
Resolved, That wo approve the wise and con-,
servative policy propoSed by the President in his
menage of the Gig of March, 1862, and sanctioned
by Congress, tendering pecuniary aid to saeh
States as may obooso to adopt a syatem of gradual
emancipation ; and that it is not only the duty of
the loyal people of Maryland to meet the Govern
ment in this endeavor to relieve them, in the only
practical way, from the evils which armed insur
rection has brought upon the land, thus sustaining
the Government as well against the treason of Se
cession, as against the radical and violent projeota
of fanatical Abolitionists; but that it is likewise
for the znterest of ail the people of this State, more
especially of the slave-owners, promptly to incept
the aid thus tendered, and remove from our midst
en institution which has ceased to be profitable,
and is now injurious to our political and material
interests, and dangerous to our peace and safety,
by inaugurating such a plan of emanoipatien and
colonization as will be equitable to those Interested,
and as will tend to secure the industry of the State
to the white labor of the State.
Nor Bomar Macaws himself more auda
ciously carried on the trade of appropriation
than has Captain Germ, who pretends to be
the British inventor of the cupola war-steamers
and also the patentee. He stele the idea from
Captain Eatcssott, of "Monitor" celebrity,
and, boldly putting it off as his own, has been
retrieved from half . to fall pay; has received a
prompt payment of $25,000 from the British
Government, and is to have $5OO for each
cupola adopted in the British navy during the
next fourteen years.
On several occasions we exposed this impu
dent fraud—this mean theft—this making' mo
ney and reputation out of the previous inge
nuity of another. We are now enabled to
'show, in a letter from Captain ERICSSON him
self, elicited by an article in THE t'aisss, on
Monday, bow the question of priority of in
vention truly rests. Captain ERICSSON'S let
ter, which will bo read with interest, is as fol
lows :
NEW YORK, Juno 12: 1852
At the thee when Captain Coles, in 1855, pre•
pared a stationary cupola or " shield," for floating
batteries, the Emperor of the French had in MS
possession an elaborately finished drawing of an
impregnable floating battery, made by my hands,
and transmitted to his Majesty from New York, on
the 26th of September, 1854. The most remarka
ble features of the " Monitor" were all combined
in the plan alluded to. The vessel was composed
of iron ; its sides were inclined ; its stern projected
over the .propeller or rudder, affording absolute
protection ; the deck was formed of iron plates,
bomb proof, and in the centre was placed an' iron
turret sixteen feet in diameter, six inches thick,
supported on a central shaft turned round by steam
power applied below; ordnance of very heavy
calibre was applied within the turret, the aim being
effected, as :in the "Monitor," by turning the
turret., .
, .
Strange to say, Captain Coles cannot even claim
the/sr= of the revolving turret, for the plan sent
to the Emperor contained a cupola or semillobe,
and not a cylindrical turret, as in the "Monitor."
It is worthy , of remark, that it. was not until 1859
that Captain Coles thought of a revolving turret or
cupola.
Let de add that the Emperor acknowledged the
receipt of my plans with great promptness, and .
paid nie.the highest compliments on the occasion.
which have ever received from any quarter.
Yours, very respectfully,
J. ERICSSON.,

Juno 8, 1862. S
Sunday, the great day for battles and excitement with
the Drury of the Potomac, is bidding adieu to a compara
tively peaceful camp. Our troops have seen so much of
military service that sensibility of danger is never felt,
unless when engaged in actual conflict with the enemy.
They remain here, within almost a stone's throw of the
rebel line of battle, and perforni all the routine work
incident to the camp with an energy and steadiness of
purpose, and with an indifference to occasional firing,
that would astonish their good friends in Philadelphia
and Washington, who are in the habit of getting so ter
ribly excited over seas the slightest rumors of a battle:
rArriving here last Friday, direct from Washington, I •
visited the following day the battle-field of Seven PlllO3.
Of course, it would be impossible for me to write an in
telligent review of the battle, or to add to detail!, al
ready published, and yet every succeeding day discloses
isonsethiug of interest pertaining to it.. In many respect;
it was one of the moat remarkable battles ever fought.
On Friday last our loss, to killed and wounded, had
reached the figure of Wen thousand five hundred. That .
ie nearlSlte extent. The loss of the rebels undoubtedly
amennts to full 10,000 men. It is said that Richmond pa-
pen admit the fact. Gen: Sumner's division alone has
buried more than a thousand of the rebel killed.. la;the
_woods and along the fields, it seems, from the way their
artier aro grounded, that entire rinks. must have been
killed at the same time. The woods are still full of guns
and cartridge boxes, blankets she , that will hardly ever
be gathered np. A few bodies, those of the wounded
men who crePt away to °bemire places to die, still remain
unburied. However, the burial fatigue parties were
busy in finding them. Old clotbes and dead horses were
being gathered up in different parte of the field and .
burned. Friends at home might not like it eo svoll, abut
cremation for relatives killed in battle would bo much
better than this iuditscriminta, but unavoidable huddling
of hundreds into one trench, or giant grave. A few offi
cer!, if killed, can be sent home, but privates cannot;
veinier can they have separate gravel, or any coffin.
Previous to going into this last action, Jeff Davie and
Oweernor Letcher lode along the rebel llues anti told tbo
soldiers that if they won the battle they would gain the
independence of the Southern Confederacy, and that
they *tumid be rewarded us troops never were before.
But Jell Davie and kis sweeties and the flower of the
rebel army were of no avail. . With greatly inferior
numbers we lost some ground the first day, but on the
second it was regained, and is stilloccupied by In.
Yesterday a sergeant of Month Misaiseippi came into
one lines, and, was introduced at beadquerters. He
'theme like an intelligent and truthful young man. Ho
ease that the rebels are in immense force between here
and Richmond; that the roads and woods are full, and
that they are determlr ed to make the most desperate re
sistance they possibly can. He says the rebel troops
have plenty to eat in the way of bacon .cud broad; that
they aro opposed to digging any more trenches or build
ing more forte, as, so far, they have been of no service, and
that they are ready and willing to fight in the open field.
He admits, though, that Richmond is being strengthened
in every possible way. He mild that the troops from the
Cotton States call the Virginians Yankees, and do not
like them at all ; and that Beanregard Is as poker with
them es ever. Johnston, G. W. Smith, Longetreet, and
Magruder are the leading generale, while there therm to
be any quantity of material like Toombs, Pryor, Cobb,
and that sort of political generals, in the Southern army
defending Richmond. This morning a tow allots from
our extreme left were exchanged with the enemy, bat
no damage done to either party.
To-day General W. F. smith received a visit
from Major General Prim, commander-in•chief of
the Spanish forces. Brigadier General Milano, Colo
nel Deterne, Colonel Cortazor, Colonel Cromista Ream
eider, Seiior Sanmiguel, and Seiler de Sales. Three
or four regiments were reviewed and exercised in the
manned of arms. General Prim seemed, as he expressed
himself, greatly gratified with the dlaciplioe and apparent
efficiency of our troops. They were accompanied by
members of General McCiellau's staff.
• The Prince do Joinvillo is the guest of General Smith
to-niehi.
The gnat and decisive conflict to felt to be near at
baud. It is possible that Richmond_ may be evacuated.
Thirty-four trains were heard leaving the city last night.
Tracks may have been going in them, but the more pro
bable suppoeition' is that wounded and sick men were
being removed, or that the wacen and children were
being sent away, nr that the valuable papyri and archives
of one e a r ' s government were being removed, or all of
them. No other conclusion only that there will be a
great fight betwern hero and Richmond seems rational.
Bow much time Gen. McClellan will have to make his
preparations in cannot be told. One thing is 'certain,
that no one will disturb him In making• them except
'rebels. lie enjoye the unbounded confidence or the
army, rank and tile This would not.be shaken in the
least if the army should not get orders to go forward for
a year. Quite a number of deserters frOM the enemy are
coming in every day. They all say that a greayiattle in
certain to lake place. It is noontide that, if true, it may
be the canoe of their desertion. 'The engagement may
take place to-morrow, and perhaps not this week.

Now BRIDGE, Virginia, Junolo, IS6
Yetterday's most noticeable feature was the visit of
the eminent Spanish General Prim and his suite to the
varime. parte of the camp. At noon, he witnessed a re
view
of artillery, given in his honor by the reserve bat
adid not get wind of his presence until the after
noon, alien posma on - tv tuts - proctrwricrerrrotina - b.lin"
viewing artillery practice. The General is a shrewd
looking Spaniard, and took considerable interest in the
scene before' him, pointing the guns several times.
'Various foreign celebrities were Sitting about, baying
all kinds of attention paid them, and provoking all sorts •
of remarks. Amid the stare, orders, gold lace, and
tinsel, republican simplicity seemed decidedly below par,
and the erect form or General Fitz John Porter,ivitb the
uniform of an American officer, though favorably con
trasting for dignity, seemed somewhat eclipsed by the
glitter of General Prim's orderly's breeches. The Count
de Paris was there with a most sorrowful-looking hat,
and the Dnc de Chariree not yet out of jackets. A couple
of young Englishmen, kid-gloved, rod-striped, and per
fumed, and an American major, with number nineteen
booty, were backing and filling around the Spaniard, and
making themselves generally useful.
From some defects in the ammunition, the artillery
practice they were witnessing was rather poor. Erery
third shell failed to horst, and several times the guns
hong tire. The aiming, however, was done with con
siderable precision. Tbo object was a rebel battery,
some two miles distrait, which was• she'ling General
Elumner's troops away nn the left. Many of our shells
fell in the field where the battery was, and somtmnst
have taken effect on their guns. General Somner'a gnus

batteries, the enemy leC: in short order.
ANOTRER ARTILLERY DUEL
7 scarcely ever saw an artillery skirmish to more ad
vantage than this ono. The battery beside us was on a
high bill, at a point where the riot r made a turn. Im
mediately in front was a rich field of grass, on which
cavalry horses were pasturing. , Then came the swamp
and river, and beyond it fields and bills, the ones to the
right being held by the rebels., and the ones to the left
by General Sumner. Sumner Is across the river,' and
there was hardly a half mile's distance between his
batteries and the ones belonging to the enemy. Both
were caul-distant from us. The circuas," as the troops
universally call it, was opened by the rebels, who shelled
Sumner's batteries. From our pozition we could dis
tinctly see and hear all that passed A signal officer,
with .his flag and attendants, stood hard by us, and an
other was down In the swamp, beside the river, ou the
right. We stood for a half hour viewing the enemy;
whin the command came from headquarters to open
fire. 'There were two twenty-pound Parrott gams, and
they kept at It for two hours as fast as the gunners could
load and aim them. Two more were afterwards brought
on, but they (brake no elicit.
Standing behind the gun the course of the rapidly re
ceding shell could be distinctly traced as a gradually
lessening black spot in the air. It could be followed un
til it struck tbe earth, and the exp`osion marked the
place long before the report fell on our ears. The guns
kicked but little upon being dreg, not near eo much as I
have seen done by some riiitd cannon. The strangeXt
part of tbe whole grand performance was the noise made
by the rapidly revolving obeli, as it flew through the
air. It was like a puffing locomotive starting a heavy
train of cartt,-at first slow, then faster and faster, till It
calmioattd in an unchanging whiz and a dull boom from
the explosion.
This battery bad everything its own way. Eitherfrom
its being too great a diatancv, or more pressing engage
ments, the rebels did not take the slightest notice of us.
They-sent all their messages to Gen. Sumner. Had they
known bow much, English nobility, French politeneee,
Spanish embroidery, and American grcatnesa there were
In the anxiously watching grotip whioh attended those
two Parrots, perhaps they would have passed at least one
compliinent to us, and not given all the envied honors to
the general away off to the left. Ent, as it was, they
slighled.us ; perhaps to the advantage of our families at
home, who would be sony to hear it reported that we de
netted our post, sr were suddenly called to some other
quarter when the battle came near us.
Nine-tenths of the artillery soldiers] in thle army are
Germans, and though a little snappish and snarlish some
times, it most be confessed they are aelmirablocairsoniers.
Quicknees, accuracy, anct:endurance are all:posseesed by
them in the highest degree, and rigid discipline and
strict obedience develop these qualities to their greatest
usefulness. When a Getman battery is in front of the
enemy it always gives a good account of Hire' f, and it
never retreats from fear. Capture may take the guns,
end the horses may be shot, but still the brave Gorman
a-ill fight till the opposing torrent bears him down. If
ordered to retreat in the face of the enemy, though obe
dience is his law, his piece always goes back retuctantry,
end it. is &ways with sorrow that be ceasei firing so long
as a rebel plume waves in the distance.
The battery, whose practice was reviewed by General
Prim, was manned by Germans, and it was gratifying to
view their agility and knowledge. There was neit h er
notes nor burry—butgreat speed and`precielon. Scarce
ly hi d one shell sped to the onemy when the gunners were

flow of Word and flow of treason will be stopped, and the
hundreds of thousands of men who have come together
to vindicate their country's honor, will be again dispersed

of a ration's greatness; each ono bringing his industry
to fill the uaeesure of a nation's prosperity.
SICENEsa IN Tits ARMY.
It is with groat pleasure that I am enabled to rtcord Ise
tho result of recent inquiries that the army is generally
. very healthy. Caro in the selection of campieg grounds,
and the watchfulness of cummenders • over the liabils of
tilde men, bare been attended with the most gratifying'
results. Every regiment is healthy, and what little "Mk
nese there is, is found in the remaining patlenta of the
overflowing hospitals, canoed by the dismal transports- .
lion from hianaseas to Yorktown. Fevers aro the unia
venial forma of sickueee, and of these typhus std typhoid
held the principal sway. Typhus is the proper name for
camp fever, chip fever, jail fever, and others &tieing
among people of uncleanly habits when crowded to
gether in unhealthy or confined places. It is the great
scourge of military life, and one of our most respected
medical writers has said "that it dogs the foetstops of
retreating and discomfited armies, and settles in their
tents." It is strangeelmt none the less tree, that defeat
and low spirits have tonally as much to do with causing
typhus as &minutes or filth. A retreating army, or one
which when tying in trenches or in. camp, constantly
lrfeeleth that hope deferred which maketh the heart
sick," always has the greater part of its sickness caused
by typhus. Great nervous depression is ito cmaractoria
tic, and the patient frequently dies from the 'Dahill:4 or
his system ta react. Typhoid is of the opposite typo. In.
llaromation and delirium, with all the exhibitions of the
Wildest insanity, torment the poor soldier whose body is
a prey to this terrible disease. Be rushee to battle, com.
motile an army, defeats the , enemy, flies Irina the foe,
shouts for help. drills his company, and clutches at some
to imagis anon, all at she eatoe moment. A hosaltal
_filled with typhus and typhoid patients Is a sorrowful
sight. The dull, Inanimate stupor of the one, and the
fearful,' uncontrollable excitea.ent of this other, hot ) "

The gnawing of bomcsicknese, too, is a groat cause c:l \
illness in the army. -Few will believe it, bat many cos
have been caused by this sad mental Dilatant. At Quin
cy, Illiuoiß, I was shown three men who had been in the,
hospital there for months; homesickness 'was their enlyi
trouble. It had unfitted them for every camp 410, 1
and had finally sent them to the hospital, and the sur
geon assured-me that if he could give each of them the l
joyful news that. they wore to be Sept home, twenty-fourj

There doubtless are scldiers to the hospital. here whoa;
only cure Is a discharge. If remanded to the field theji
will certainly die, and it is a subject of grave momeri I
whether the strict orders of Government against die'
charges . should not be relaxed under such circumstance'.
Valuable lives may depend upon it. .
Of course, many patients feign sickness to avoid , tie
disagreeable duties of a roldier's life; and jt may be reS.
sonahly Urged that homesickness can be easily inlitatit,
and the counterfeit sometimes be better than the ori -
mil. This is a shallow objeclion. Physicians know, t
least good ones do, the difference between real and fa
clad diseace, and it is a matter of elight difficulty to the
to find the shirkers. Be one is responsible for his went
organization. If ho was so created that intense home )
sickness when away front hie residence, unfitted him 1
his duties, and in obedience to his country's call he went\
away from home, surely that Government which should
never neglect any of its people, should do all to its pawed
to to restore Lim s health. In such a condition he is por .
feet's , useless, and the longer ho is kept the greater the
burden on his keepers.

The change in the disposition of the different regi

sions, and are briefly these : A few days ago an erder
wee Alined from' headquarters, and upon the day after
the order was executed.
Tho 2d Division (General Reno's) were to break camp
and locate themselves upon the Trent river, oppasite
and above Newherb. The Ist Division (Foster'e) were
to occupy the city and environe ; and the 3d, under. Gam
Parke, were to remain stationary in their old locality,
Beaufort, Fort Macon, and vicinity.
This order has been carried out, and the troops of the
flistnamed division!' aro now In their new camp-ground,
gone into quarters for, perhaps, some time. The regi
ments and brigades of the several divisions are now each
in its position, either to repel an attack, or make an ad.
vance. Brigade drills and reviews of divisions are the
main features of camp life, and • nothing, partitilaslY
stirring or interesting is transpiring at present.

made the statement must have dreamed of the affair, as

'UNION PRISONERS,
A large number of Federal or Union prisoners have
arrived bore from the Salisbury prisons. They were
warmly greeted, 'heartily welcomed, and Invited, in the
true soldier style by our men, to make themselves at
home. They were tendered the hospitalities of the dif
ferent camps, and in return, gave come account 'of - the
treatment they had received at the hands of the rebels,
and which was a great deal of the bad, and such a thing
an good treatment their captors did not seem disposed to
favor them with. A terrible vengeance' is awaiting
these rascals in human shape, and we are greatly mis
taken If the appointed time should not come very shortly.,
The prisoners' wire permitted no privileges whatever.
Did a letter arrive with money, it was confiscated almost
before their eyes. Their guards stole articles from them
openly, and if rfimonstrated with, a blow Iran the butt
of a musket or a curse, was all the remedy they re
ceived. Row much longer shall these things bet Were
our prisoners in the North treated thus, would not all
reboldom and the Northern Bratkinridge editors bowl
over the same ? Do they say a word now? -Not one
iota of the sufferings endured - by the gallant band of pa
triots, who have suffered what none but themselves can
tell; since the 111-fated 'battle of Dull Dun. "We are no

The Battle at Trauter's Creek.
• Wagers:Grog, N. C., June 1,1562
' During lag Week and the early part of the present we
Were frequently annoyed by scouting parties of the re
bele. who came within a short distance of the town and
continually threatened it. Indeed, ea likely appeared an
Maack (and no donbt otir weak position here at the time
invited it), that reinforcements were rent for, while every
-prepnratiou wee made to reelet any inroad which the
prowling bands might make.
On Thureday morning a reconnoiasanciin force started
from here, metier command of Ideuteuast Colonel Osborn,
commending the 24th alsesachusetta Regiment, accoinpa-
Med by Colonel Potter, of the let North Carolina Union
yolonteere, and Lieutenants Strong at d Pendleton, the
two latter officers acting as aide. The expedition con
slated at the 24th Massachusetts Regiment, Company I,
of the 34 New York Cavalry, under command ofelaptain
Jockeirk and Lieutenant Allis, and a detachment Siam
Colonel II owaid's !derive Artillery, under command of
Lieutenant Avery. •
The infantry and artillery, haviog taken up the line
of march, formed a junction with the cavalry 'on
'the cutskirts of the town, when all advanced along
the Greenville road, while the gunboat Picket, Captain
B iehols, proceeded up Tar river, and shelled the woods
ahead. .
We creased Cherry ran, and reached Fonr Corners
without any incident of note occurring, and without the
slightest trace of the enemy. We were now a mile from
Tranter's creek, and, an it was known that the bridge
on the main or Greenville road had been destroyed, the
edema leek another road on the right, which crossed the
creek a little distance higher up.
The road near where it crosses the bridge, descends
through a ravine or gorge, and, turning 'suddenly to the
lest, skirts along by the edge of the creek, which- at
this point, is more properly a wide pond or swamp, filled
with stumps or trees. On the bridge are a saw mill and
cotton gin, whose sower is derived from the Rowing of
the water. The rebels had taken up the boards of the
bridge between the two buildings, and with them con
structed. a breastwork, if it might be so called, near the
cotton gin.
The column at locgth got In motion again from the
widow's house, and the skirmishers, having descended the
ravine, cautiously moved towards the bridge Suddenly
they disnrvered a row of he ads behind the breastwork of
boards, end tho gnus all 'dialed towards them. Sergeant
Stepard and a oempanion fired, and a heave volley came
in return. Lieutenant Jarvis fell at the first fire. The
rest of the advance returned the volley and thee fell back
on the main body. Colonel Osborn immediately ordered
forward the artillery, stud, in a less time than it takes to
narrate it, the gallant marines, under Lientetant Avery,
came darbing down the hill with their guise, which they
stationed, one bearing on the enemy's front, through the
arch of the sawmill; the other to the left of the bridge.
and raking the enemy on their right flank. The main
body of the infantry also came forward on the double.
quick, while Captain Jocknick formed his cavalry on the
. brow. of the hill, ready to charge the enemy at the decisive.
Moment, thoneb, it it afterwards happened, no opportu
nity was afforded to his men to strike a blow..
'On account of the narrowness of the road, only thria
cementite' of tire infantry could be brought into action at
once, and the rest were disposed of in the rear, where
they were ordered to lie dowp. With one company in
the road .and one on either side, the engagement regu
larly ep o xied on our side. Lioatooant Avery discharged
several Founds of shell and canister at the enemy's posi
tion; for they wore so cctrcealed in the bridge and
behind' the trees as to be completely out of sight. The
infantry poured a terrific the across and on either side

and thivolleys from the Twenty-fourth at lehgth drove

and through the woods, leaving behind them three of
the k dead, and a large quantity of muskets, shot-gune,
swilrds, sabres, and other weapons. Their rout was the-
I rotg,h and complete. The ground was covered with pools

' it is impossible to ascertain the exact figures, as they
canted off all their dead and' wounded, except the three
bodies above referred to, which they could not rescue
owing to , the heavy fire of our artillery on the spat where
they were lying. At the opposite side of the bridle the
! reach had thrown up a temporary breastwork of cotton
bales, in an angular shape, with the corner nearest the
Approach from the bridge; but it failed to serve them as
a means of defence.
Our loss on the battle field was four killed and twelve

WASHINGTON, June 13.
SENATE.
A Submarine Rant.
Mr. MALE (Rep ), of Now Hampshire, presented the
petition of Oliver L. Pierce, that an appropriation of
$5,000 be made for building a submarine war boat.
Relief Bill.
Mr. CLARK (Rep.), of New Hampshire, from the
Committee •on Claims, reported a bid for the relief of
James F. Simmons.
Post Routes.
Mr. FESSENDEN (Rep.), of Mane, from the Coin
mitten on Finance, reported back the bill appropriating
$150,000 for certain poet-office routes. Passed.
The Oath Bill.
On motion of Mr. WADE (Rep.), of Ohio, the bill pro
riding for the taking of the oath of allegiance in certain
cases was taken up, and at the suggestion of Mr. Powell,
laid over till tomorrow.
• The Slave-Trade 'Treaty,
Mr. SUMNER (Rep ), of Massachusetts, from the"
Committee on Foreign Mallow, reported a bill to carry
into effect the peaty between the United . Mates and
Great Britain for the supproosion of the slave trade.
The bill provides for the appointment of United States
officers et the mixed courts at New York, Sierra Leone,
and Cape of Good Hope; each of the judges to receive
$2,00 per annum ; the arbitrator at New York to ra
ce ive $l,OOO, and the others $2,009 each; the clerk of
court at New 'fork to receive the fees.
Oath of Office.
Mr. TRUMBULL (Rep.), of Illinois, called up the
bill from the House prescribing the oath of office, &c.
Mr. SAULSBURY (Dem.). of Detesters), thought it
was doubtful whether Congress had the power to say
that a man who takes the oath proscribed by the Consti
tution shall not exercise tho functions of office unless he
token an additional oath prescribed by Congress.
Mr. DAVIS (U.) es ntended that Congrees had ndVower
to enlarge or diminish the qualifications of office pre
sent:Bd to the Constitution.
Mr. TRUMBULL said the Constitution prescribes a
loan of oath for the President, but this act does not
apply to the President, but to those Persons appointed in
the civil, military, or naval departments: A chutes of
the sixth article provides generally that Sentstore Re
presentatives, and other officers, be bound by oath to
etymon the Constitution, but prescribes no form. The
object of this. act is' to prevent persons engaged in this
rebellion from holding office under the Government. He
never wanted to me a person who had vohintarily taken
np awns against the Government in either branch tf
Congress, or holding office under the Government. The
bill does not touch• the case of those coerced He did .
not believe the Senator from Delaware would want any
such person to hold office.
Naval Appropriation Bill.
Without coming to a vote, on motion of Mr. F ESSEN
DEN (Rep.), the naval appropriation bill was taken up.
A number of amendments were adopted..
Mr. ANTHONY (Rep.), of Rhode Weed, opposed the
arms dment for the repairof the Navel School at Annapo
lis, as being an indirect mode of directing the Depart
ment to remove the Naval School from Newport. He
thought the Senate was not ready to make such a dimpo-
Miler' of the Naval School on each abort notice. Ho re
ferred to the circumstances attending the removal of the •
school from Annapolis, as an additional reason why the
Senst: ehould not hastily act in this matter, and restore
the Naval School where it may in any manner be reached
by traitors. The great advantages of Newport, in har
bor and climate, means of communication, dee., seem to
point it out as the very place for a Naval Academy.
Dlr. TEN EYCK (Rep.), of New Jereoy, said he should
oppose the amendment, in order to have a commission
ft:awed, to select a proper place for this school. He
thought Perth Amboy had great advantages fur such a
school
•M r. FOSTER (Rep.), of, Connecticut, thought that if
such a cemmiesion was formed the harbor of New Lon
don, Connecticut, would be found to possess the greatest
tad vantages for the location of e, naval academy.
Mr. HALE (Rep ), of Now Hampshire, referred to the
letter of the Secretary of the Navy, stating that the le
gal location of the Academy was at Annapolis. He
thought Newport a bed location, as affording 'strong
temptations for dissipation in the summer season. It
was the great rattan for fashion and dissipation every
summer, and It we uld be unwise at the premet time to
undertake to remove the navel academy. Maryland had
twice given a large majority at the polls for the Union,
and it teems ungrateful to do anytbiug like taking away
what advantages there may be in this academy. He
didn't want a navatacademy at" Portsmouth, N. H., but
all that had been said of Newport, Perth amboy, or New
London, if multiplied twice, would not equal the advan
tages o' Portsmouth.'
Mr. KENNEDY (U.), of Maryland, said that ho
would-not attempt to make a speech against a propoli
tion so manifestly unjust as this, to take away this school
for gelfloh or sectional reasons. No objection was made
to Annapolis, and the only objection seems to be the-as
sumed disloyalty of • Maryland, and even the conduct of
Governor Hicks. He had stood by ,Governor Hicks in
the attempt to regain possession of the State, which had
been wrested from the authorities by the sudden twi
tting of the mob, and'they made a request for the tempo
rary suspension of the transportation of troops until they
could recover . the State, and in leas than ten days after
the Government acceded to their request the mob was
fleeing from the city of Baltimore and from the State
to into the rebate, aid they are now exiles by
the laws of this denounced State. He claimed
that Maryland was now as loyal, honorable, and true to
the constitutional obligations as any other State in the
Uoion. He claimed ne more for her, but protested that
Maryland should not contionally be made the scapegoat
for the offences of a few men.. Indignities were continu
ally heaped upon her, and he was aware that Maryland
HMS a suspected State, but they rested their justification
on her future history, and he was not going to attempt
any vindication of the loyalty of that State. If Mary
land is to be regarded as disloyal, and this charge be
wed to take away the paltry advantage arising from this
school, in God's name let it go. The people of his Stale •
were not to be diverted from the high - purpose they had
avowed again and again of standing by the Constitution
as it is, and the restorationef the Union as It was. They
ask no more then they are willing to accord to others.
Mr. ANTHONY disclaimed making any charge
against the loyalty of Maryland, or anything against
Governor Hicks. - Ho bad only read the letters and part
• of the message oeGovernor Hicks to chow hew the tree
had bent to the norm of. Secretion.
~ Mr. KENNEDY hint a letter reed, - signed by a large
number of the senior chase in the Naval Academy, in favor
of a return to Annapolle.
Mr. CRIMES (Rep.), of lowa, itonght this was really
a question whether we would continue the Naval Ames'
deny at all. We bad all the buildings, library, Rd, at
Sowell!, and he was not willing to be driven from
there by the rebels; nor MILS he willing to punish the
loyal men of Maryland by taking away the school ; and,
in fact, the great reason for the removal or the school
was because General Butler was .there at the time, and
wanted the place for bin own accommodation, and it was
thought the school might bo located temporarily at Fort
Adams.
Mr. CLARK (Rep ), of Now Hampshire, said he should
vote to restore this 'drool after Maryland bad gone
through the struggle, and shown herself loyal. He was
not going to attempt to punish her by taking away this
School. He wanted to temente things la the Bordei States
as they were, and to restore all the States, and was ut
terly •epposed to making them Territorlea, or anything
of that sort. He would restore ail the States, and
punish Individual traitors, so that rebellion would never
again raise. Behead in the country.
Mr. TRUMBULL (Rep.), of Illinois, wanted to know
if the effect'of this amendment was to direct the imme
diate restoration of the Academy to Annapolis.
Mr. HALE said it involved nothing of the sort. It was
simply en appropriation of $25,000 for the repair of the
lndidfogs at Annapolis. •
Mr: GRIMES said all the trouble grew out of an at
tempt to fix the. Academy, at Newport. The committee,
had emended tta . appropriation for the contingent ex
pcosio of the Academy, and another appropriation for
repairs at Annapolis. '
Mr. KING (Rep.), of New York, moved to strike out
the appropriation for Annareilis, andleare the appropria
tion for the contingent expenses. Rejected—yeas Id,
nays 27.
Mr. LANE (Rep ), of Remiss, offered a prone° that
notbirg herein be cousteved as authorizing tho re. eats
blishment of the naval academy at Annapolis, until the
State of Maryland shall inaugurate the system of eman
cipation.
On the vote being taken Messrs. Chandler, Sumner,
and %fug, refused to vote.
Mr. FESSENDEN asked the Chair if there was not a
rule of the Senate requiring Senators present to rote.
The Chairman said there was such a rule.
Three Senators still declared to vote, and the vote was
announced. Yea—Mr. Lane, of Kansas, 1; nays 3t.
Mr. RING said.he was in favor of one part or the pee
vish, and opposed to the other. He offered a proviso that
'nothhig therein be contrued to direct the re-establish
ment of the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
Mr. LANE (Rop.),"of Kansisotaid that he had voted
a'one for his proposition because - be feared that the re
bellion was goipg to be crushed out, leaving elavery near
ly as powerful as it was, and • our children would have
to fight thqbattle over again. He wanted the question
settled now.
Mr. KING'S proviso wee rejected—yeas 16, rays 22.
The amendment of the committee was then adopted—
yeas 28, nays 9'
Mr. GRIMES offered an amendment that on and after
the let of November, 1862, the spirit rations in the navy
caste entirely, and so distilled !ignore shall be taken en
board ship, with a commutation of five cents per day.
Mr. aIcDOUGALL (Dom.), of California. thought this
leinalof legislation the greatest of humbegs. This war
against whisky was not Owens rise. The wisdom of
of the world from Plato down was against such legisla
tion.
The amendment seal adopted.
Mr. GRIMES offered an amendment that &news not
under 13 may ho enlieted without the consent of parents.
Mr. RING moved an executive session, but no quorum
voted, and the:Senate adjourned.

Gen. Casey, Bottom's Bridge:
The following despatch has Just been transmitted :
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC, June 5.
To the Hon. Edwin if. Stanton, Secretary of War:
My despatch of the let instant, stating that General
Casey's division, which was in the first line, gave way
unaccountably and discreditably, waif based upon official
statements made to me before I arrived upon tho field of
battle, and, while I was there, by several commanders.
From statements made to me eubsequeotly, by Generale
Casey and Naglee, I em induced to believe that portions
of the division behaved well, and made a most gallant
stand against superior numbers ; but, at preterit, the ac
counts are too conflicting to enable me to discriminate
with certainty. When the• facts are clearly ascertained,
the exceptional good conduct will be properly acknew

In my despatch of yesterday I omitted to state that

Cross Keye by sharp skirmishing at 9 o'clock in the
morning. During the day they obtained possession of
the enemy's ground, which was disputed foobby foot, and
only withdrew at evening when ordered to retire to a
suitable position for the night. The skill and galisntrY
displayed by %wren on this and frequent former °ten

deeerve high praise.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY MARKET.
PIIILA DELPHIA, June 13,1862
Row to invest money safely is gill the ruling idea on
the street. It Is not that there are few avenues for it that_
it hegira to clog the wheels of financial success. A feel
ing of speculation is creeping over the actions of some of
the slower class of investors. This is becoming more
apparent every day, and is creating s. new interest in the
stock circles. A natural dislike to speculation has caused
capital, in immense sums, to lie idly in bank ; but the
bather is going down, and activity reigns where lately
all was stagnation from puce fullness. To day's trans
actions at the Steak Board give signs of this movement,
as about 8,000 shares of all kinds of stocks, and 80.000
in bonds, changed hands. Passenger railways were very
active. Weet Philadelphia advanced X and was firm;
Second and Third-streets advanced 1, selling at 70;
Saco and Vine at 8, and Spruce and Pine at 15, were
each advanced, the latter 1; Arch-street advanced IX,
firm at 26; Thitteenth and Fifteenth-streets firm at 20,
an advance of 3 on yeeterday's Kites; Green and Coates
advanced 3, Belling at 35; Giraid College 25X, advanced
BX ; 50 shares Seventeenth and Nineteenth brought 6,
Railroad shares wore also lively. Beading advanced
to 29X, and closed firmly at that figure. Minehill at
47X, and Pennsylvania at 48% wore steady. Cata
wiesa Common advanced X, the Preferred X. North
Pennsylvania was active at X advance on yesterday.
Beaver Meadow advanced 2X, Belling at 65, closing firm:
Long Island brought 173{—a alight advance. Schuylkill
Navigation Preferred advanced X. Elmira Preferred
advanced 3X. Bonds were very active. Philadelphia •
and Erie fa advanced X, bringing 92X. Pennsylvania
55 were firm early at 89x, closing at 89X. Schuylkill
Navigation Ga, 'B2, advanced 1, but declined at the.
cloelrg bid ; 1872 a were firm at 90. Camden and Am
boy 6s, 1889, brought 94—a slight advance. Pennsyl
vania Railroad lot mortgage at 105, and Reading 6s,
1880, at 102, closed firmly. Reading 1870 s advanced
. X. Susquehanna Canal Gs advanced to 33—an advance
of 1. Elmira Untie' 10s advanced 1% on last slier at
the first board, but still- further advanced y, at the se
cond. North Pennsylvania Railroad Os at 81.wers firm.
In bank eliares there was considerable life. Mechanics'
brought 25X, Manufacturers' and Mechanics' 24X, Con
solidation 257 j, Weetirn 62, Farmers' and Mechanics , 53,
136 was bid for North America, 108 for Philadelphia.
First-Issue demand notes are attracting the attention
of all classes of business men, and quite an active trade
has been doing in them the past few days. They were
selling quite firmly to-day at 103 X, but declined, toward
the close, to 2% bid. Transactions have been very large
and remunerative. Gold, also, was in active demand at
advanced rates; 104% was bid, this morning, with sales,
but advanced, during the day, to 6 buying, 5% sel lag.

Market Etreet
To rnz EDITOR OF TER PRESS—Sir: any one were
mired, what shall be done for the improvement of Mar
ket street? he would be likely to answer, Remove the
freight real:lay: This reply would be natural, and the
reneone philosophical ; for, as the railroad, with its bur
den care and mules, has retarded or nearly prevented
the architectural adornment of the street, its removal
would give an .impetus to such improvement: in other
words, remove the obstruction, and the current will flow.
Bat suppose be were met by the alfartlon that the
very thing be proposes to remove is precisely what bee
made the street so important—that his suggestion car
ried out would ruin the street. Me would be either puz
zled by'the opacity of the reasoning, or astonished at the
unblushing effrontery of the individual. Yet there are
two gentlemen who vehemently make the assertion, and
a few others who passively regard it as the truth.
An extended diecussion of a question which is ao well
understood by most persons as to have almost ceased to
be a question, would be superfluous, Persons of ordi
nary intelligence are able to see that not the least im
portant of the essentials to the welfare of a city is the
keeping of its main thoroughfares as free from occupa
tion by railways as is compatible with accessibility.
Still it is precisely this that is the most difficult to ac
complish, encroaching and nnscrapahnis railroad cor
porations, aided by a few sordid and selfish citizens, CDR
timidly striving to prevent it.
Here we have one of the finest streets in the world—
excelling even the noted Irongate of Gla!gow, in some
particulars—and the means and the will to make it is
rival of any oilier avenue in all respects; and here we
are compelled to jealously watch and zealously work
for its protection. To lease the railroad would be, prac
tically, to lease Market Street. No one will hire it with
' mit using it, and the use of it, under almost any circum
stances, will involve its occupation by cars and teams,
either moving or stationary, and for any length of time
that the convenience of the lessee may require. Such
occupation, besides'preventing its farther improvement,
will tend to drive shoppers into other streets, away from
mole teams, freight trains, and dust, will interrupt the
movements of vehicles and pedestrians ; and, as a souse
quence, will diminish the value of property. The street
would soon become a dingy.walled passage-way for the
ca rs of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and a place
to be avoided by all who are not directly engaged in for
'
warding merchandise, or in the sale of the moat cumber
some wares.
. The people of ,New York understand the secret of
giving their city a metropolitan appearance. They have
made it a point to keep the cars off their mein avenue,
so that omnibuses, carriages, wagons, drays, carts, and
people afoot, may make it a grand thoroughfare. They
know that when a stranger lands on Broadway, he con
cludes at once that be is in the largest city lathe coun
try ; that be is at the great centre of commerce, and that.
he is from that moment disposed to buy his goods or tae
spend his time there; yet lie has seen only Broadway.
The basis of hie conclusion is apparent. -Shall we follox
the good example of our neighbors, or shall we ignore
the resells
_of observation and experience? Shell we
add to the active boldness appearance of Market street,
and encourage the erection of appropriate gel costly
buildings, and make it the grand thoronghtere that it
bee most of the elements of being, or shall we make it a
channel for tbe passage of cars, indicating as much the
aneportation of foreign goods as traffic in our own I
Let any one who has any regard for the city stand at
Third street and eurvey Market stroot no It !stretches
