THE NEWS.
Oun letter from Fortress Monroe to-day, writton
ly cur valued war correspondent, “ J. C.,” settles
be matter conclusively- concerning the loss of siege
pins in the reoent affairs on the Ohickahominy.
IVe lost no guns except field- pieces, Which wore all
iearly won by the rebels from our bravo Ponu
lylvania Reserve oorps and regular troops. “J.
3." adds bis strong testimony to the estimation in
which General McClellan is hold by his faithful
ind valorous soldiers. '
Tee letter of General Sherman to Lieutenant
Governor Stanton will be read with interest. Many
facts are disclosed about the battle of Shiloh, and’-
n iheßo days of the absence of official reports, the
people who are curious to see a general’s review
of on action will be fully gratified for once.
Facts have come to light recently whioh explain
the Inefficiency of the rebel artillory. At the bat
tle of White Oak Swamp they tired gas-pipe from
their field pieces charged with gunpowder. This:
pipe was taken from the street-mates of Riohmond,
they having no shell.
We learn from Fortress Monroe that tho rebels
do not look upon the recent battles on the peninsula
as a substantial victory, for once during the war.
The editor of the Riohmond Examiner. bewailsthe
heavy Confederate loss, which he sots .down at
twenty thousand men, killed, wounded, and miss
ing.
The absence of General Hunter’s troops from
Bilfon Head and Port, Royal .temporarily at James’
Island, near Charleston, has caused the rebels, in
the vioinity of Beaufort, 10 assume a threatening
attitude, and an attack upon - Beaufort, -with
another bombardment of Fort Pulaski, is talked
of. General Hunter and Cummodore Dupont are
attending to the matter.
As A matter of interest to the people at large,
we continue to publish the fullest and most re
liable lists of the sick and wounded soldiers of the
arr*y of the Potomac as they arrive-from the
peninsula.
We present to-day some very interesting, facts
concerning the behavior of the three French princes
who have beeD, until recently, serving, upon the
stßff i f Major General McClellan. Their bravery
and talents entitle them to the noble rank of
princes, indeed, and prove that Franco need not
look abroad for sovereigns hereafter.
a.n nntertiiining letter from Nashville, which wo
publish on our first page, .to-day, develops some
new facts concerning the increase of Union senti
ment in Tennessee indicated by the starting of a
now Ulloo paper, and the passing of patriotic reso
lutions by a meeting of the citizens of Dickson
county.
Puokf tho siatomonts of Dr. Oliver, a refugee
from Uicbmond, (published in another column,) it
»[ pears that the army of the Potomac measured
swords with no less than two hundred and fifty
thousand rebels in the recent sanguinary battles
near Uicbmond. “ Stonewall” Jackson, Dr. Oliver
is well, and at present In the rebel capital.
McClellan is being rapidly reinforaed by largo
numbers of the besttr.iop.- in tl'.o service. Shields’.
old division is already in tbe advance, and baa just
won new laurels by routing the-enemy on the
Jtimcß river, eapturing 1,000 prisoners and three
light batteries. .
11 Tub Senators are among the people!” Sena- j
tor James Dixon passed through our city last night
en route for bis home In the State of Connecticut,
whither he goes to raise a regiment of volunteers
under the new requisition. Senator Dixon is one
of. the representative men of New England.
In General Order, No. 28, dated Harrisburg,
July 7, Governor Guktin gives full directions for
initiating the new recruiting service. Pennsylva
nia Will no doubt bo the first and most important
State in the field, as usual.
Our. advioes from Vicksburg are up to the »2d
Inst, and are important. -The canal across :'the ;
point of land upon which Vicksburg stands is
nearly finished, The bombardment continues at
intervals, and the oity must soon fall, if it is not:
already in our possession; and with it we make
prisoners of at least 15.000 rebels. We venture to
prediot that this will be another “ Island Ten ”
affair, on a grander scale.
This foreign news by the Europe is unimportant.
'The Times acknowledges bur ability t» crash the
rebellion, at last ; while; lcpser journalistic lights,
seeing the utter hopelessness of the rebel cause,
urge more * strongly the immediate mediation by
Erarice and England in our domestic troubles.
The people of tbe United States will be delighted
to hear that the gnnboats in the James'river are
to be detached from the North Atlantic Blockading
Squadron, and that hereafter they will comprise
the James river fleet, under command of that gal
lant naval officer, Commodore Charles Wilkes.
Captain Wilkes is a host in himself, and with such.
aids as Captains Rodgers, Gillis, Jeffers, Stevens,
and Morris, wo may look for bright deeds of valor.
“Bubnside is moving ! 1 ’ This expression, as
“familiar as-household words,” will be in every
one’s mouth today as they read the Bpebiai de
spateh from onr correspondent with the “Army of
North Carolina,’,’ which we publish elsewhere.

A mekti.no of the citizens of PhiUdelphia,
Irrespective of party, for. the purpose of taking
measures to sustain the Administration, will
be held, this evening, at Concert Hall. Dele

This meeting is one of more than usual im
portance, and, at this time, we shall look for a
demonstration in favor of the country of an
imposing character.

LETTER FROM “OCCASIONAL.”
[The fo'lowing loiter was omitted from a
portion of onr edition yesterday Ei>.] .
. Washington July 0, 1802.
The late terrific battles on the Peninsula,
details < f which are coming in rapidly, but
Dot too rapidly for oor expectant and impa
tient people, all of whom are interested in the
fate of the gallant men who saved our great
came in the hoof of its greatest trial —these
battles are now tho universal and over-present
topic of conversation. Every new. arrival is
only another proof of the extraordinary endu
rance and coiirage of oor soldiers. If I did not
know the witnesses to be men of truth arid in
tegrity, I should-set down most of their state
ments aS the purest of romances. From the
private soldier to the general officer the. story
is the same. Against an adversary whose force
was nearly twice that of our own, who knew
the country around him as “ the seaman knows
the sea;” who was stimulated by every motive
of hutted, .revenge, and desperation; who
fought not only to save his own neck from the
halter, But to secure the support of the sym
pathizing despotisms of the old world, and
who, therefore, placed all his hopes upon tho
one great hazard of battle, we have made good
our stand, and though fearfully damaged, are
prepared for new trials, and ready for a new
battle on the same field. Your numerous cor
respondents will fill, out the picture now only
dimly shadowed forth to the general vision.
They will tell you what this regiment, brigade,
or division, has done ; they will bring forth the
principal actors in this great drama'; describe
the numerous conflicts with genial and gene
rous pens, and. enlist the appiaus.e of the rc
spective audiences to which they address them
selves. And thank Heaven-that this is so!
In other countries the best and bravest deeds
have been forgotten, because unrecorded. But
the army of the Union, if an army of heroes, is.
gjso an army of historians. It can write a«d
fight. No act of injustice to a bravo man who
belonged to this army can go unpunished. The
hands that have wielded the musket or the
sword generally wield the pen ; and there are
thousands of avenues open by which to com
municate their thoughts to the people. Ho
who shall write of this contest for freedom can
have havo no more fruitful source from which
to draw his facts than from the practical tes
timony of the men who took part in it.
Leaving the matter of individual or local
vindication and history to the reliable custo
dians of the army and the cause, I turn to tho j
general reflections suggested by this marvel
lous campaign. First of all, how grandly old
Pennsylvania has done her. work! -I do not
detract from any other State of the loyal sec
tion. They have all done their best in this fear
ful baptism of fire and of blood—this baptism
oi the new creation of a strong Government ana
a free people. In the "West and the South
west, the soldiers of. the valley of the Missis
sippi made their brethren of Now England,
and New York, and the Middle Slates, en
vious of their great deeds. New England also
displayed her indomitable valor-at Bull Run.
The mont-ter contribution of Pennsylvania was
concentrated in the Army of the Potomac,
and for long months had no opportunity to
display its valor. Our sons and brothers had
shown their blood in South Carolina, Tennes
see, and Louisianv, but it was Jett for five:
days on tiik Peninsula to try 3Dd prove their
melal. That field, at once the bloodiest and
most glorious of the war, called out their
greatest qualities. Who shall tell the wh«le
tale of the Pennsylvania. Kesebves? Did
they not aid to save the trembling fortunes of
tho hour ? Did not the volunteers in that
mighty division fulfil the expectations of thoir
carters and iheir friends? Of nearly ten
thousand men, but three thousand are killed,
i wounded,or captured!
“ YTbas cui their glory Mi 1
O, tbe wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.”
Pn truth, the battles of the 'Peninsula were
battles in which Pennsylvania reaped a fine
crop of fame. The autumn, so compensating
to the husbandman elsewhere, saw the ripen
ing grain of : Virginia ungathered and un
housed; but dear old Pennsylvania gathered
a harvest of glory from these broad acres.
Black died at the head of his regiment. -Oar
beloved Biddle, that gallant aid of McCall, who
saw the Reserves in their glory eight months
, ago, in all their pride and strength, perished
in the bitter and bloody co.niiiot. MeO .11 him
self, gentleman and soldier, is a prisoner @f
the rebel loeman. John,F. Reynolds, of Lan
caster, a young general, is lost possibly to
friends and to country. His apjtcarance in
the great fight of Monday last inspired his men
with new courage as as rode along his lines in
spiring his soldiers. The erect and handsvmo
Goslinc is gone to his loDg home. General
.Meade is stretchfd on his bed at his mother
in-law’s, in Philadelphia, after a career of
honor and renown—the severe disciplinarian,
the practised warrior, and the soldier's friend.
It was a Pennsylvanian, Heintzelman, of Lan
caster, who flamed -like an avenging angel be
fore the infuriated columns of the rebels. It
was a Pennsylvanian, Franklin, of York, who
won such bloody laurels in the conflict of
Tuesday. It was a Pennsylvanian, George B.
McClellan, who ruled over and directed this
series of conflicts with Treason. Ail our regi
ments behaved nobly. Colonels H. G. Sickles,
Joshua T. Owen, T. G. Murebend, J. F. Bal
lier, W. F. Small, Neill, Wistar, Williams,
and the rest, performed prodigies of valor,
and deserve, as they will receive, the thanks
of their grateful countrymen. V ; /
Great old State! She is not only honored
in the work of hor own regiments in this illus
trious campaign, but in the courage of her
sons whom she has contributed to the regi
ments of other States.
A wounded officer, who reached Harrison’s
bar, fronting the James river, where General
McClellan had gathered his army, on Tuesday
last, describes the scene and his own sensations
with much pathos and power. Along a plateau
of six miles he saw ilia finest army in the
world after the greatest battles of the world,
and for the grandest issue. He arrived in time
to see the early morning snn lighting up the
scene. It must hove been a transeendant
spectacle. The troops, gathered in regiment,
and brigade, and division, seemed to be pre
paring for a festive occasion. There was no
despondency, no doubt, no fear. They were
counting over their living, and were remem
bering their dead only to avenge them. He
offered an involuntary prayer to God that he
had been able to witness such a panorama.
Another witness states that he happened to
be present, when a plain, young man, not yet
thirty-five, appeared among the wounded who
were waiting for transports after the five days’
battle. He saw them crawling out to gaze
upon him; he saw the tears with which they
welcomed him; he heard the words in which
they praised him; and he - listened to this
yonng man’s reply:—“Soldiers,” he Slid,
“ you have .trusted me, and we have won.- You
will come back to see us triumphant.”
The agent who brought order out of chaos
in the first, and who received the enthusiasm
of the wounded soldiers in the other case, was
Gkougk B. McClellan, a Pennsylvanian, born
in Philadelphia, the son of a Nov England
ather and a Quaker mother. The blood of
two, races has produced a hero who may live
to save all the children of men from slavery.
Who will say, after this ennobling retro
spect, that old Pennsylvania will not be among
tbe first to contribute ,to the new levy ? She
hasfiiled her own regiments, and with charac
teristic liberality, helped other States to eke
ont their own. Thus it is that no victory can
be won in which the children of our great
State do not die for the flag, or live to see it
victorious. I predict that the new levy will
contain more of the sons of our old Keystone
than of any other. Oooasiokai.
"WASHEjeroH, July 7,1862.
U Why is it that President Lincoln is so cor
dia’ly sustained by the loyal people of the
United States ? Why is it that, however they
may differ as to others, they unite in giving
Mm their confidence?; The main cause of
this popular acclaim is Ms, perfect integrity
and undoubted patriotism. But another reason
may be found in the fact that Uereposea entire
trud in hi» civil and military agents, , and
that in the midst of perplexities and conten
tions as to their respective merits, he gives to
each and all a fair and impartial trial.
Proceeding upon the belief that they intend
to do their best for their country, he neither
participates in the disputes that arise be
tween -them nor allows Mmselt to question
their patriotism. When General Fremont
was attacked for his 'Western campaign, the
President refused to consent to his overthrow,
‘but calling him into a new field, ho presented
him a new opportunity , for vindication. His
generous support of McClellan has - been
crowned with the most glorious results j and
now, when an effort Is made' to do injustice
to the-Secretary of War, the President
displays the same manly and mag
nanimous spirit: No ono can fcno r
so well as he the embarrassments of all
those prominent in the Administration of
the Government in this crisis, and in the
managimi nt of our armies and navies. Mis
takes are not only incidental to their labors,
hut inevitable. They have to deal with enor
mous and novel complications. They must
assume dangerous responsibililies, acting fro.
quomly with necessary promptitude, to pro- -
vent sudden disaster. Let us emulate the no
ble example of the Chief Magistrate, and he
fore allowing ourselves to. indulge in hasty
censure of our public servants, civil and mili
tary, let us weigh well the grave and exacting
duties they are called upon to discharge,’ aud
the heavy burdens they are competed to
raTry. There is no member of Mr. Lincoln’s
Cabinet who does not give his whole time and
talents to his country, and I believe there is
not one of our military chioflj who docs not
occupy himself, conscientiously and con
stantly, in carrying out the mission confided
to him. Theirs is indeed a. toilsome and too
oficn a thankless position. Risking their own
lives, they must succeed, in order to entitle
themselves to the gratitude of theircouatry.
Defeat is in most cases thetr disgrace,
and I have been suprised more than once
ar the equanimity with which they bear harsh
and ■ undeserved criticisms. Fortunate is it
for our cause that they have in Mr. Lincoln a
friend who understands their difficulties, and
can make every allowance for their errors.
The dilemma of the rehdls in and near Rich
mond is more lamentable than ever it was.
Their five days’ fight was for the double pur
pose of repelling the . Union army and
of procuring food for their own; andjiow,
that they have been disappointed in
both, and have had thrown upon their
hands thousands of wounded men, their de
moralization will become rapid and irresisti
ble. McClellan, an the other h>nd, has
emerged from this dreadful and. protracted
strugglo with a splendid army, an army of
veteians, who, to use his own language, in his
great order, dated on the 4th of July, “ have
reached this new base complete in organiza
tion and unimpaired in spirit.” 'While ho is
daily reinforced the rebels are daily weakened,
and I look forward to the hour when, instead
of occupying a defensive, he may assume an
aggressive attitude, aud crush and capture his
fees in the capital of their treason.

The first section provides for tho issueof $150,-
fi00 ; 000 of United States notes, not bearing interest,

be issued and used only when, in the judgment of
the Secretary of the Treasury, the same, or any
part thereof, may be needod for that purpose. -

West Virginia.
The Senate had a test vote to day, on the bill for

The Grant Buttles on the Peninsula—Es
timated Loss of the Enemy.
The Star of this evening says : A distinguished
general olficer of the army of the Potoinao was in
Washington this morning on his way to visit hig
family north of this city.. His opportunities for
learning tho extent of the damage received by the
enemy in the recent seven days’ battles were, from
tile nature of his position iu the service, perhaps
better than of any other Union officer. He esti
mates their loss in killed and wounded, and other
wise rendered hors de combat, at the immense
number of 75.000 men, or, in other words, that their
loss was quite half their whole army in and abuut
Richmond. They refuse to receive flags of truce
from Gen. McClellan carrying inquiries relative
to the fate of Union officers and others believed to
be wounded and prisoners in their hands—thus
evincing a great disinclination to permit General
McClellan to obtain any inkling, however ob
scure, of their real condition since the termination
of the "battle.

The Return of the French Princes.
The Washington Intelligencer contains the fol-.
lowing:
It is known to our readers that the Prince de
Joikvillb, the Dukede Chartres, and tho Comte
de Paeis, of whom the two lost named were lately
connected with the staff of General McCr.Br, can,
have withdrawn from the scene of the pending mili
tary operations in Virginia, and are about to em
bark for Europe.
As the announcement of this fact has been ac
companied in certain quarters with “ explana
tions” of themostsuppositious;character, it may
be proper to state, as we are able to do in the most
positive terms, that this return to Europe of these
distinguished guests, who have until lately formed :
a pait of Uen. McClellan’s military family, is iu
pursuance of a purpose formed several weeks ago,
and . postponed: at much inconvenience, only from
tbeir anxiety to “assist ” at tho impending battles
before Richmond. All representations which allege
that they Have withdrawn from the United States
ooutrary to their original intentions, under ap
prehensions of a foreign intervention; or, as others
. have feigned, in disgust at the imputed “ineffi
ciency” of Gen. McClellan, are wholly, without
foundation. On their return to this city from the
army of Gen. McClellan they expressed, in the
. warmest terms, their admiration of that officer’s mi
litary conduct, and of the heroic bearing of his'de
voted troops. They found-nothing to deplore in
the campaign on the Peninsula except that General
, McClellan -should have - been left without rein
forcements, which were seen to be necessary in
view of the forces massed against him from all parts
of the South’.’ ’ ■ ;■!

Tho following is a copy of a letter recently ad
dressed to tho Chairman of tho Committee of Ways
and Means:
Treasury Department, June 20,1862.—5ir : I
am reliably informed that the sugar crop of Loui.
siana last year was .five hundred thousand hogs
heads, of eleven hundred pounds each. This is
said to be fifty thousand hogsheads more than the
crop of any previqps year.
. Of this orop there were in Now Orleans, when
taken by our troops, say eighty thousand hogs
heads, chiefly held by foreigners, aud there yet re
main. on ibe plantations, say two. hundred and
twenty thousand hogsheads, equivalent ,in all to
(say) one hundred and fifty thousand tons.
It Is thought by gentlemen conversant .with; this
trade, that this quantity will nearly, .if not quite,
supply the wants of the country, until the new crop
will be ready for market next fall. Shipments to
Northern ports are already begun...
These facts suggest, the expediency of such, in
ternal duties on domestic sugars as aro necessary to
secure the revenue expected from the Import du
ties on foreign. , r • .
The importance of this subject, and the necessity
of proper legislation, if not already , embraced in
the *ax bill, will doubtless engage tho attention cf
the Committee of Ways and Means, and of Con
gress. With greatrespect, \
S P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury.

Fortress Monroe, July fi.— Fresh troops ar
rived here from Washington yesterday, and went
up the James river in the evening.
Four small steamers, with four barges’in tow,
arrived at Fortress Monroe this morning, laden
with artillerymen, horses, &0., and were doubtless
bound up the river. :•
A skirmish took place yesterday morning, near
our left wing, which resulted in tho defeat of the
rebels. We took 1,000 rebel prisoners, and three
small batteries, and our oavalry followed them up
till they passed beyond.Whito Oak.
For the last two days.the rebels have shown little
disposition to fight, and yesterday relinquished their
ground and batteries almost without resistance.
The Operations at Vicksburg.
Chicago, July 7. —A spooial despatch from
Memphis, dated the 6th, states that the ramluon
ess, has arrived with advices from tho fleet above
Vioksburg to the 2d instant.
The canal across the point of land opposite Vicks
burg is nearly completed. Negro workmen have
been collected from the various plantations in the
■viemity. In all cases, Government receipts wore
given for them: Several thousand wero engaged
on the work. It is supposed that when the ditch is
finished the river would out a wide channel during
high water, and forever leave Vioksburg an inland
village.
The bombardment is kept uj> at regular inter
vals from "both fleets, Commodore Davis having
arrived: when the Lioness left. The rebel bat
teries were still replying occasionally. It was be
lieved that the rebel works would be stormed on
tbe 4'b, and there is every reason to believe that
the eity has already fallen.
The city is said to be n6t so badly damaged as
was at first stated. AH tho non cmnbatanU wero
previously removed: -The rebel force is said to be
16,000. A story had reached the fleet that several
hundred of the rebels had: been killed by the ex
plosion of shells. .
fTbis despatch only gives news from tho fleet to
the 2d inst. The despatch from New: Madrid an
nouncing the capture of Vioksburg was dated July
7th. Although as yet unconfirmed, it'does not
appear to be'improbable.

interftre with the States, and recognise the doctrine of
Secession:. These Stated - were as muchiStates as they
ever were'/ and this thing of the government of these

amendment. After what he had seen of the laws of some
pf tbtse 6tatee._and how persona sent there bod under

bill, so ob not to onfurco such obnoxious laws.
Mr. POWELL (Dorn,)* of Kentucky, denounced the
bill as uuconttitntionat, reducing the States to provinces,
aud 'tending to disunion, 1 by destroying the sovereignty
of States and violating tbe constiuiUouai provision .which
pufttanties n republican form of government to every

Mr. HARRIS (Bep.), of New York, claimed force for
the bill 1 under, this very provision of tho Constitution.:
Certain States refuse to be governed by the
and it becomes Bbceeeary to provide a temporary go
vernment until they return to their allegiance. -.
Mr. COW AN (Bep.), of Pennsylvania, contended that
the theory of tho war was to rescue the loyal people of
the South, and to restore the governments of the loyal
people in those States.. The'Revolution had. settled the
right of the people to govern themselves, aud we have no
r?ght to make a government for toe people of North Ca
rolina. The Question was not whether-these laws were
abhorrent, but weie they laws of North Carolina., Zf so,
all we have to'do is to restore them, as aijrefrd upon by
the people of that State' To do otlierwiae would be to.
destroy the whole theory of war, and destroy the effects
of the Revolution.
■ The ditcutsion was further ccmfinuod by ifoasrs. Oar
lile, Harris, and Cowan.
Mr. WILKINSDN (Rep ), of Minnesota, said he un
derstood the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cowan; to
bold the opinion that if all the inhabitants of the douth

verned by tb« United States, then we could not force
th»m to remain. But woald the Government of the
United States be justified to allow any set of peop'e to
establish an hostile and independent Government within
its borders! . - -
Mr. COWAN said’we had solemnly decided that we
cbuld'not make a warof congneat, but only to rescue
and restore. There was no constitutional authority to
cuiouer, but that waß Binipiy ft que&ttou of policy.
Mr/i>&VI3 : (Ui), of Kentucky, sitd it was the duty
of the 3 Government •to assfrt its authority,; every where,
witliin its own limits, and execute all tho laws j but ho
thought Cougrtes had not the power to pass this bill.

opposed. to it. If that great array had been commanded,
by that arch-traitor Jeff Davis there would not
have ; been a movement which he would not have :
, oidered. since the Ist of December. He called oa
the press and the"traitoie of the country td stop de

the Union flag by a mob. He claimed that the Michigan
soldiers bad been in.every fight, yet no notice had been
taktn of them by the Commander-in-chief.
Mr. LANE (Bep.), of KaxiHas, thought this wag no
time for criminations. The speech of the Benator from
Penna>lyai»ia,'and the meeting held lately at Now York,
would do more to mass the enemy than all the legislation
•in Congress. Some rnen- in the couofry had asked and
prayed that loyal black men might bo taken into the

IJETTRR FROM N JEW‘ YORK.
Lbbl night an. accident occurred on the Now Jersey
Railrof d, which resulted in the killing of one person, and
wonndiDg six others. -It appears that, as the 8.45 P. M.
train from New Brunswick was approaching Newark on
its Tegular time, and' when turning a carve about one
mite from the city, the engine struck a cow which
was lying on the track, and the looomotive and
the entire* train was thrown off the track. So
gudden waa the shock that engine made a com
plete somerset, burying the engineer and fireman in the
ruins, where they remained fifteen minutes, exposed to
the escaping steam- When taken but they were both
dreadfully scalded, and the latter,'who arrived in Jersey.
OHy'thia morning on the eleven-o’clockteaia, it is re-,
ported 'cunnot recover. The train conshted of five large
sized passenger cars, which were crowded with ’ persons
returning to New York, aud it is considered- very fortu
nate that no more were killed. One gentleman, who was
standibs on the front of the forward car, was instantly
killed. -Bis body was conveyed to Newark. The bot
tom of this car was forced out, the upper part being
forced at the right of the track, throwing the pas
sengers on the; top.; of each other, and by the side ,of;
. the .track. None .in the . rear cars were • isjarei.
The wounded were speedily attended to. and removed to
Newark, where they received medical aid. The track
-was but slightly damaged, and immediately put in order,
and on the arrival of the owl train, the passengers were
brought ok’ to New York. The engine was one of the
largest belonging to the company; named “J. B. Rem
gen,’i and is badly damaged. The engineer .is one of the
oldest and most careful in tho employ of the company.
The following is a list of the names of the killed and
•.wounded:
. Ralph Page, engineer, Bcalded; Timothy Page, fire
man, and son of- the former, ; seriously scalded; John
Beares, of Boston,- slightly scalded: John Haley, of
Rahway; injured in the arm acd leg; William Heath, 152.

and head. A men whose name coaid not be ascertained
had three of bis fingers smashed. He w»3 removed to ,

and leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss.

Lite m Fott McHenry—Mr. Falton-’s War*
We find in the Baltimore American of Thursday th?
following narrative of tbe personal experiences of Mr.
C. C. Fulton, tbe editor of that paper, as a Staid pri
soner;
Wo have bad a great deal of experience lately in the
military line. It is but a Uitlo rime since we described
to the readers of the A merican a night scene before
Yorktown, where tbe “ bombs” were “ bursting iQ air,”
and our sleap was disturbed by the whistling of the ene
myV&hfclls over the encumpmeut. We also described
the ooteiing of tbe rebel camp at Torkto dn t tbe infernal
machine* f<t'onr geutle foes, the pursuit and the battle at
WHliauibburg. Then there was the Merrimac ana Moni
toi imbroglio, the firing and falling back, tbo shelling of
? s Point, aod the taking of Norfolk by General
Wool, which secured the prefix.of “Major” to the title of
ibe venei able hero. More latterly we gave our readers a
narrative cf recent important doings before fiicomond
and the evacuation of White House, with the move
ments of the grand flotilla of transports through tho
iwinlcgs and twistings and windings of the gentle Pa
mor.'ky.
;S!E. FUITON UNDBUTAKBS A NEW ENTERPRISE.
We had ecarcely reached onr home, after a week’s
jourueyi? gs on the_tented fields aud od the bediess and
foodless transports, and commenced speculations on tbe
enjos meet of a Sabbath of rest and Quiet, when our good
nature induced u* to do us we had often done before—
without CDmpeosation and but meagre thanks—comiiu;-
nicaie thenows we had brought with us to tbe hieh func
tionaries of tbe land, who, we thought, in our simple na
ture, would be grateful and thankful to us for the free
gift to tiiom of the_reiult of a whole week of labor, toil,
and bodily deprivation. A telegram, covering a loolusap
sheet, was despatched by tbe magnetic current. Hardly
had ft reached its destination before.we yieided to a sum
mons, alihough tired and weary and footsore, to take a
6even houra* journey, hungry and dinner-teas. Besom
ing out of pocket considerably for incidental
empty- stomach, and too much pressed for time to take
more than a hasty lunch, wo toiled on to the small hours
of the night to finish our deterred labors.
Having done two very foolish things during the
day, we in the meantime’perpetrated a third still more
ridiculous one, and “ tb*-reby hangs a tale.” Knoviug
thatthe press of New York, Philadelphia, and Boston
had nothing but vague and indefinite and exciting ru
mors from tbo field of battle before Bicbmond, and that*
the people of those cities had thousands of sons, brothers,
and husbands under the glorious banners of our country,
we determined to do all we could to relieve,their minds
in relation to the sanguinary rumors. Our good nature
again predominated; and in a strictly private despatch we
proposed to the agent of the Associated Press in those
cilies tharifthe paperawould aiigiva the American
credit for tbe report we, would .telegraph it to; them, aad
in this hasty private despatch we inadvertently mads
mention of aninttrview with certain high dignitaries of
the land. ,
. Woe to the hour when this slipof the peo happened
The agents of the preps ia New York published the
despatch entire, through a misapprehension as to its
privaie character, and a few hours after doing so many
good-natured tilings we were in the hands of Marshal
Dodge, on cur way, to the historical grounds of Fort Mc-
Henry—tbe grand rebel depot—and a prisoner, with the
flag we love so dearly, and. have something for,
floating over us, _and Federal bayonets barring our
pssuftge to the joys of home and friends.
; HIS *\AJIIteY EXCLUDED FROM SEEIX& HIM.
A prisoner under that theuphoiding of which
our only son is risking bis life-blood oo the.Misstsßippi—
dented all converse with friend or foe—refused the privi
ledge of even explaining our positioa or showing oar iu
nocence—-doomed to solitary conficement—and last,
though hoi least, to learn that a few hours after that a
sorrowing wife and, daughters, were at the gate of the
fortress, iho iuexorable bayonet impeding their en
trance—we felt as if great drops of blood were welling up
fntn our heart—as if we desired to go .to some far-off
country and spend the balance of our days among the
heathen ortho Hiittehtot.
We do not care to know who was the instigator of this
most malicious outrage—we do not care ; to detest any
man as,we should tlie ; perpetrator of this unmanly and
ungenerous act. Had we wilfully committed any off«ncß
calling for pumsbrnent we should have submitted to its
infliction without a murmur 5 beiteven the felon or con
victed mutderer is not denied an occasional visit from
his wife and children. . . - ....
INCIDENTS OF THE NIGHT.-
We were very fortuuate in having a kind and excel
lent friend m General Morris as our .cuatosian, who,.
with Lioutenant Mollioard, also a personal friend, did
"all in their power, contistont with the strictness of the
orders leceivedj to blend with the perforinaacaof their
duties the antoniUts, kind attentions, and civilities of
lit©.; True, ion the first nighty through the neglect of
orders ote the patt of one of the atteudaots, we spent
ihe dresry hours, in tbe corner of an uofiotehed*room,
witn a bag of straw four feSt long for a b«i on tha floor,
atd a blanket, which paitof the^night we used, rolled
up, as a pillow, atd tbe balance ag a covering. We
tboughl it was wbat our kied triecds at Washington, in
cet-ded for our use, and we laid'on it, or rolled off of it
witb’sleeplesseyes. withput a murmur.
Baring accidentally Itft the door open,.a bevy of rats
kept us company, and. appeared di&pbscd to'share the
straw yith us. The General was astounded waen he
made bis pleasant mv'rniug call, and his kind words
cheered and made us forget these inconveniences of the.
night. Aftorwa-ds altepasaed pleasantly in -this resp&ct,
end tbe matronly caterer of ihe prisoners furnished us
with excellent meats—not, however, at < the expense of
our persecutors.
7 , .MR. FULTON AND TEE GOVERNMENT. .
What rendered this arrest and tbe rigorous orders ac
compan>ing it more inexplicable to us was the fact that
•for fiiteen'nisEths past we havt taken l> e trouble, almost
daily," to keep the departments advised by telegraph of
a>y impel taut news that came into our Possession. We
have Toluhtarlly rendered the Government more service
than many: of its * salaried and tith d officiate. But
enough. ,We .here drop the subject, and’Uutil we. can
le&rn.to fawn arid flattery aud submit qutetly to personal :
indignith s we shall not again volaatarily seek inter
course with those who have thus shown their willingness
to play the tyrant.
To.the many loyal citir.ena here,;who were oatepokert
iu their indigoaiion at the,outoage committed, and to
those who iu Washington promptly and generously in
tenered in our beh&if, we tender our most earnese tb auks.
To the disloyal here, who wei eijabjlanf over our arrest,
aua'thohghtitso “good a joke,” we have'bnly’to say
tbafrit has not;;altered a couviction orvfeeling on our

, ; PKUABELPHIA, Jlllr T, I8?2.
There was much excitement to-day in gold, and the
rate advanced to 10®IO#. The mo B t pressing demand
for it came from the outside, and some parties who sold
last wetk are buying to-day, Tbia must bo the result
of the: check to operations before BtcbmoncL Sad
McClellan marched into Blcbmond,instead of to the
James river, coin wbuld hav© fallen; but as he did not
approach the rebel capital, but merely made a splendid
tide movement, these people are struck dumb with fear,
and they dare not rest until they get their hands upon
the-yellow metal. The exportations to Europe still con
tinue, but it is the opinion on the street that tbe high
rate will soon check nervous John Ball in. their dubious
monetary career. The New York Herald of to-day, la
summing up the transactions of the banks for the week,
gives a favorable account of the specie lice. Itsajg:
“ On la*t Dlonday the New York city banks showed a
specie averageof $30,832,626, being a decrease of's2ls 319
from the wetk previous; a loaos average of $148,3*6,401,
heiogan of g1;506.639; a ceposiis average of
$127,866,700, being an increase of $1,196,286. To
morrow the deposits will probably show no material
change; the loans will show an increase, in consequence
of the puichußeof Government securities by some of the
banks which have had mercantile paper paid oft') tbe
specie will probably show an increase of over two mil
lions, in consequence of the payment of imerestby tbe
Government on held" by tbe b«is#» It is ua-
tbe actual amoaot of coin owned by the
banks irabont five millions less than tbe amount they
show in their ' weekly returns—*psciat deposits being
-counted as part of the reserve. They f hur.?, however,. f*r
more gold th«n they want for tbe transaction of th*iir
business A reserve of twenty mi lions wan’d be ample,
even without taking, into consideration tbo fact that tney
are working on a paper ha>is. The,problem of tne policy
of the New York city -banks, as of the bank* of Phila
delphia and Boston, will not, be solved uutil tbe war is
over. 'lfitje Government is anoeetsfut in niiiotaiaiag
the infcgrtly of tbe Union and tee stability of the nation,
our banks will have done well by their investments in.
public seenmies.”
Business in old demands fell off to-day, although prices
were firm at 4# buyipg, 5# aching. Tbere was no flue
