This effioer may bo very advantageous, as far as
relates to the suppression of disorder, but by
whose authority they act, at this pinoe, we have
not yet ascertained. The only duty which wo
know of is to grant passes to Fortress Monroe. As
•ono half of the military, that wish, go tboro
without his signature, and the other half remain in
camp, he has of late had but Jittlo to do. Since
General Burnside’s corps arrived hero, a great
many boxes have been sent from the North to the
members of the expedition. The provost marshal
has stationod n guard at the landing, and every
box has its top knocked off, and a regular style of
searching commences. Should it contain liquor of
any kind the lot is confiscated. No matter whether
the boxes contain liquor or not, the contents are all
capsized, and broken up. Glass jars of jelly disap
pear as quick as liquor; and one strange feature is,
that after the search is over, there is nothing in the
box worth carrying away. The men have suffered
Ibis imposition long enough, and on Monday last it
culminated. A large lot of express goods was upon
the wharf, and, as usual, a cavalry man was knock
ing the tops off the boxes. Down the hill, towards
the landing came a soldier on a run. As he neared
the follow, wbo was searching the contents of one
of the boxes, he gave a sharp look towards the over
turned oontenta, rend the direction, and, hauling
Off, he took the searcher book of the oar, which
laid him out sprawling. “Open a box of mine,
again, will you ?" was the interrogatory the fellow
received upon recovering his understanding. He
got rather saucy, and the result was a rogular fight.

Persons who wish to enlist in this division must
lake' up their miif3s to serve for the war. That is
the policy adopted, as far as the 51st Pennsylvania
is concerned, We' are authorized to state that no
recruits will be received in that rogimont unless
they will enlist for the war, and the officers wish it
distinctly understood that all who join do it for that
period, It is rightly oonoeded'that, should the old
regiments be filled up with nine-months or one

the discharge of a large body ot soldiers whose

discouraging to those who had taken the oath to

ORDERS RELATIVE TO RESIGNATIONS.
A very judicious order has been issued by Major
feral Burnside, relating to the frequent resigns,

till offioers have resigned their commands in the

II there ever was a people who were most
Ibeirtilysiek of a bad bargain, I am inclined to
think, from all that I can hear and see, that people
is to be found in Virginia, or at least that part of it
Whloh has thus far been traversed by our armies. In'-
the expressive language of a very intelligent repre
sentative of one of the I. I\ V.’s, with whom I
had a long conversation a few days since, “This
War has been a most effectual emetic to the South,
Rnd especially to Virginia. Ws have been
thoroughly purged, and I wish to God the rebellion
Was crushed.” Again he said, “ The-capture of
Richmond is but a question of time. It must fall.

This is the language of a man of secession pro

the South. Is there not great meaning in his

are to be proteoted from the humiliating insults
that have so long been heaped upon them by those
who sheltered behind the safe shield of their sex,
dared to spit the slimy venom of their tongues at
the very men every instinct of their nature should
prompt them to honor, respeot, and treat with
womanly kindness; now that oar war ory is on
ward, ever onward; now that the order has gone
forth that our soldiers shall subsist upon the very
men who are striving to rob them of their birth
right; now that the words “lines of retreat,”
“basis of operations,” &0., have been expunged
rom our military diolionary—it will not he long
before there goes up from these mountains and
valleys, hamlets and viliages, suoh a wail of an
guish and sorrow from the people South at their
rashness and temerity, as will aali to mind the
wailings of the Israelites in the wilderness. God
speed the miilenium! »
The policry just inaugurated by the Administra
tion. as promulgated in the late orders of General
Pope,-has met with the unqualified approval of the
officers of our army in these parts, one and all of
whom has expressed a conscientious belief in thoir
justness, and, if faithfully carried out, as they will
be, their entire success. Thus, with the past to
guide us, the presont to nerve us, and the future to
cheer and encourage us, this army cannot fail to
march on to victory, honor, and renown.
Since my last letter our encampment has been
removed two and a half miles farther South, and
thus are we slowly but surely drawing tighter and
tighter around the scorpion Secession, which, from
its writbings, as witnessed in this quarter, cannot
long hold out against us.
Tho movement of a largo body of soldiers, with
the wagon-trains accompanying them, is a very in
teresting spectacle. In less than forty minutes
from the time the order was issued to the command
to strike tents and take up the line of march the
the brigade was wending its way across fields,
through woods, and along the public highways,
looking, as it wound along in every direction, the
polished bayonetsflashingastream of dazziingUgbt,
roflooted from the rays of the noonday sun, like
some huge serpent, trailing its slow length along
o’er field and plain. In the rear of the troops fol
lowed the ambulances, the artillery, and the almost
interminable train of wagons. Galloping hither and
thither were soon the field and line officers dirooting
the movements of the march. Everything was con
fusion worse oonfounded. Music playing, men
shouting, teamsters calling to thoir horses,
and, when asccending a slight eminence, aiding
with “shout and wild halloo” their teams to drag
tho heavy wagons over the smallest obstacles. At
length tho new encampment was reaohed, and then
commenced another act in the drama of oonfnsion.
Men who hut a few minutes since carried a gun in
their hands now grasped the spade and pickaxe;
officers wore staking out the sites for tents and camp
streets; the artillery was being posted in tho most ad
vantageous position; tho wagon trains wore rambling
by to their proper places; mounted orderlies wore
riding furiously in every direction bearing instruc
tions, and in the midst of it all, with the magio of
Aladdin’s lamp, there rose a tented city, with its
lines of streets stretching in every direction, while
on every hand countless numbers passing and re
passing, almost realized to my mind the fable of
Apollo and the Dragon’s teeth. Thus rapid are
the movements of a great army. How truly oan
it bo said of them, the places that now know them
almost in the twinkling of an eyo shall know them
no more.
The surgeon informs mo that tho health of the
regiment and of.tho troops hereabouts is excellent,
and, considering the many dangers and exposures
incident to oamp life, thoir condition is remarka
ble. The recent acts of those in authority has re
awakened in thoir minds a stronger feeling of oon
fidenoe in onr leaders, and, if possible, a holier de
votion to our cause.- On every hand they stand
“ like Mood hounds i’ the slip,” waiting the signal
that shall bring them face to face with tho insolent
foe.
The robel Gen. Jackson is still reported in force
at Goidonsville. Ho is evidently very much afraid
of us, not daring to attack us, but waiting for us to *
sweep down upen him. He will ere long discover •
that our coming is like an avalanohe, wjiose pro
gress, gathering force in its descent, will carry
everything beforo it, oven to tho gates of Riohmond
itself.
A rumor of an attack, made by a hand of gue
rillas upon a wagon train, over near Middletown,
has just reached me. Reliable particulars have
not transpired. I send tho facts as they are re
ported here. Jt appears a wagon and sutler’s train
were attacked this side of Middletown by a band
of 150 bushwhackers, who fired several rounds, and
then, charged upon our men, who fled, leaving the
wagons at the disposal of the enemy. As.near as I
oan learn, we lost In killed throe or four, several
wounded, and six or se,yen missing. The loss of
the onemv-is nr.b.’w'v-'—-
"evening of Wednesday last, and on the next morn

There is nothing further of interest or importance
to communicate. All is quiet along the lines, and
so is Chip. ’.

Through the kindness of friends at home, wo
sometimes! see Press, and I assure you it iS'
warmly welcomed and eagerly read by all. Its ex
cellent correspondents with the different parts of
the army, its interesting accounts of the stirring
events taking place in all parts of our country , and,
above all, its firm and decidod support of the
Government, render it, we think, deservedly
popular. * : -.-
In a reoent number I Bee published the pro
ceedings of the “Democratic State Convention,”
which assembled at Harrisburg on the 4th day of
July. From its composition, from the candidates
nominated, and from the resolutions adopted,'l am >
led to hope that it was but a remnant of that once
proud and powerful Democratic party of (Pennsyl
vania that ruled the State-for so long a time, and
had so large an influence in our national council's; ■
that it was but the Breckinridge wing of that party,.‘i
making its last effort in behalf of slavery and their
Southern allies.
While in one resolution they “pledge their
hearty and unqualified support to the Federal
Government in the energetic prosecution of the
existing war,” in others they make open war on
the Government for its “emancipation policy!”
for its “ suspension of the freedom of speech;” for
its “ suspension of the writ of habeas corpus," and
for its attempting to pass a “ confiscation bill,” or
in other words for attempting to deprive those who
have committed treason, those who are in open re
bellion against theGovornmenfc, of their property,
their wealth, the only means of ever
making that rebellion successful, They also “de
mand imperatively an 'entire change in the Ad
ministration ! ” Is thi3 the unqualified support to
Which they pledge themselves ? Are these the
words of true, and honest, and loyal men, anxious
to crush tho rebollion and establish the supremacy
of the Government? Or are they the words of
those who speak “ the word of promise to the ear"
and break it to the hope?” ;
. loyal men of Pennsylvania, you will bo oalled

way of , sustaining the Government. These men

lattfe representatives,' and through her Executive,
to sudain the acts of the Administration in crush

wag near enough to reach tho schooner, and our
No. 1 gun—a 68-pound Dahlgren—was brought to
bear upon them. The first Bhot told, as wo oould
see the cavalry riding for their lives, with the speed
of the wind.
Our attention was attracted to a aeeond sohnonor,
which was inside the land, in a sort of inland sea,
by her endeavors to esoapo. Our ride gun on the
foreoastie was brought to bear on her, and, with
such excellent effect, that hor sails were lowered,
and she was left to her fate, tho shell evidently hit
ting her. Orders were now given to shell the woods
above and below the schooner on the beach. Thi3
was dono with such excellent effect that not a rebel
could be seen.
The plaoe having been thoroughly Bhelled, an
expedition of three boats was fitted out and loft the
ship, under command of Acting Master J. A. Don
nell, A portion of tho marine guard, consisting of
six men, under command of Corporals Rupportand
Halsey, together with a division of firemen, under
charge of Chief. Engineer John iMoCutcheon, ac
companied tho expedition.. .
The gups were now brought to bear in such a
manner as to afford protection to tho heats. They
boarded tho schooner, and found her to be loaded
with valuable medical stores, limes, and ship stores.
It being found impossible to get hor off the bsaoh,
a portion of the stores, consisting of quinine, limes,
and some rigging, were sent on board our vessol
and tho schooner fired in three places. Whiio this
was being done, the rifle gun occasionally paid its
respects to tho other schooner, one shot from which
went over her, and struck on the mainland at least
four miles distant. ._■■■>■■■
Our vessel was now dropped down to a’ point op
posite tho socoDd schooner, and wo anchored. After
shelling the' vicinity for a lime, a second expedi
tion was fitted - out, under the command of Mr.
Fennel. This was larger than the first, owing to
the faot that, in order to get at the schooner, one of
the boats would have to be carried across a narrow
neck of land to the water in which the schooner
was lying. After tho party loft the ship everything
went on well, and seemed to bespeak the success of
the enterprise. After they effeotod a landing, they
were mustered together for tho purpose of trans
porting a boat across to the inlet. This was found
impracticable on account of the weight of the boat,
and tho swampy nature of the soil, whioh precluded
the passage of a heavy body over it.
While they debated as to the best means to effect
their object, a large number of rebel cavalry were
reported as coming from Velasco, about five miles
below where we were anohored. A short time soon
brought them in full view, when they appeared to
he about one hundred strong, well armed with car
bines, pistols, and sabres.
The situation of our.comradea was oritioal in tho
extremo. for just at that time not a gun on our ves
sel could be trained on the scoundrels, as they ad
vanced, owing to the ourront and the wind prevail
ing at the time.
Captain Tronobard, seeing the danger of his men,
ordered the recall to bo hoisted, while at the same
time ail the guns were trained on the rebels.
, We all held our breath in suspenso for a moment,
when bang went gun No. 3, commanded by Acting
Master Meier, and a shell went hissing and soroeoh
ing through the air. That shell saved our men, for,
falling in the midst of the oavalry, it scattered them
to the winds. Tho advantage thus obtained was
quiokly improved by Acting Master Williams, who
commanded gun No. 4, and sent a shell among the
panic-stricken horsemen, causing them to beat a
retreat that was really a pleasure to see.
Altogether, the day was spent in a most grati
fying manner, and not one of .us regretted the en
counter. The enly regret was in having to leave the
schooner in the inlet, without ascertaining what she
was and what her cargo consisted of. The schooner
wo burned was the British schooner Thos- O’Brien,
from St. Thomas. . ,
The Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry.
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
.. .. Nashville, July 25.1882.
I have seen in some of the Pennsylvania papers
several ineorreot accounts relating to the fate of
the officers at tho fight at Murfreesboro’. I wish
particularly to correct that of Major Seibert, of the
7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, who was at one time re
ported killed, and at another wounded. About 4
o’clock on the morniDg of tho 13th, three regi
ments of Texan Rangers, and two regiments of
Georgia Cavalry, entered the town of Murfrees
boro’, to -which they were guided by the farmers
in the neighborhood. They first came upon the
marque occupied by Major Seibert, and would
perhaps havo passed it altogether, hail it not been
for one of the men, who raised the fly and was
going to shoot, when the major seeing the number
of the enemy, and knowing the danger of suoh a
rash act, pulled him back. They’had scarcely got
away when the rebels commenced firing into the
'tie, "was completely riddled with bullets—they
then left, not seeing him. He, finding it impossi- -
Me to got the remaining few of his command out
at ail, (most of them being on a scout,) worked his
way over to the 11th Miohigan, where he thought
of course the rebels could be driven back. A good
thing ooourred while he was again trying to get
his men in line with the Miohigan hoys. He had
on a pair of private’s pantaloons, and was in, his .
shirt sleeves, got an old mnsket, put, on the belt,
.and was standing with his men, when Gen.. Dirf
field, not knowing him in his new suit, said to him
“ Why don’t you get into line?” whereupon the
major took his place’ in tho ranks. When :
the general again come along the line, he said,
“ What has become of # Major Seibert?” The ma
jor laughingly came' walking out of tho ranks,
Baying “ Here I am.” The general apologized, and
laughingly said “ That is a pretty good joke.” The
major is safe, hut is a prisoner with General Crit
tenden Colonel Lester, Colonel Parkhurst, and a
lot of captains and lieutenants. All of the privates
who were captured were released at McMinville,
but the officers were "taken to Chattanooga. I re
gret the capture of the young major. He is a fine
officer, and has won not only the highest re
spect of both offioers and men of his regiment, but
is acknowledged to be a universal favorite with all
who know him. Ho was at the time of tho break
ing out of the rebellion practising law very suc
cessfully at Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and was
among the first to respond to the call of the Presi
dent, and served as lieutenant colonel in the 6th
Pennsylvania Infantry. ‘ After the expiration of
the term of enlistment, he returned home, and was
aotively engaged in recruiting for the 7th Pennsyl
vania Cavalry, which for some months past have
done much service in Tennessee. P. P.

The John A. Warner (mail boat) arrived here at half
past three o’clock this afternoon, from Harrison’s Land-.
ing. f■
I learn from officers who came down that a move of
some kind is hourly expected with the army.
Yesterday Gen. McClellan issued orders for every man
to he ready for action at a moment’s notice.
It is thongbt that an attack from General Jackson may
he expected at any time, and it is not known whether he
will attack Gen. Pope’s or Gen. McOleUan’s-army, and if
Gen. McCle’lan’s, it is not known in what quarter.
Such are the speculations indulged in by officers and
men who know the feelings and apprehensions of the
army. - ■
It is the prevailing opinion in the arm? that an imme
diate movement is to be made; that the actions of the
rebels of late have indicated it is unmistakeable, and that
Gen.'McClellan is ready for them is equally true, no mat
ter from what Quarter they may-approach Mm.
But few probably know where to find General Jack
son, as the rebels Bay he, takes ; men he wanta and goes
where he likes, and does as he chooses with them.

CHAGRIN AT M'CLELLAN'S ESCAPE,
Mr. Peter Dolan, a refugee from the South,
reached this city on Wednesday afternoon, onboard
the Commodore, accompanied by his family. Mr.
Dolan has been in the South for pearly a year past,
and, being a printer by trade, and employed on
several of the prominent rebel journals, has acquired
a pretty thorough insight into the “ situation” in
Dixie. Yesterday ho called at this offioe, and gave
us the subjoined narrative of his experience. Some
of his information, which it would be incompatible
with the interests of the Government to publish,
we have, of course, omitted.
MR. ROLAN'S NARRATIVE
Ten months ago, in Charleston, I-was oafiad
upon at the Courier office, where I was employed,
and informed that I must join a military company.
I protested against compulsory service, andvjjras
told that I must then leave the oity. JBeing an
Irishman by birth, (my wife and two children (ije
natives of Boston, Massachusetts,) I called upon
the British oonsul fur information as to how I should
proceed. An interminable series qf questions
was launched at me when I disclosed the object'
of my visit.' .■.■■■■ ~■■■.'• . -S ■
- “ How long was I in the country ?” (with! a
withering look.) ,
“Twenty years.” hi;,
“ Could I bring witnesses to prove that I had
never taken the oath of allegiance to the United -
States?” ■ ■ ■ . . ,
“ I could not; but I could swear that I never had
taken suoh an oath.”
After pausing to drum on the taMe, he made up.
his mind to give me a-passport.
I then started with my family for Augusta,
Georgia, with the intention of proceeding thence to
Nashville. On reaching Augusta, however, I dis
covered to my chagrin that the passage to Nashville
would cost twenty dollars for myself,- twenty dol
lars for my wife, and ten dollars for each of my
children —(three in number.) Not being prepared
for such a steep financial transaction, I procured a
situation in the Augusta Constitutional office.
After a few weeks the honor of being made fore
man was conferred upon me. i-
I worked In Augusta, continually under a cloud
of anxiety and apprehension, until Jeff Davis sent
on a requisition to Georgia for 12,000 troopsfeand
to draft, if necessary. I slid. With my 'usual
luck, however, say passport that I had obtained
from Mr. Bunch, at Charleston, was lost, stolen, or
mislaid, and I was compelled to write to Mr. Moly
neaux, consul at Savannah, who furnished me
another.
. 1 received it on the 4th of March last, and on the
following day I started for Norfolk, expeotingtthat
I might make my way thence to the.Noj’tl), by
cursing the Yankees pretty strongly. I reaohedfNor
folk on the 10th. On our way, at Weldon, North
Carolina, four regiments of Seoesh were ordered
out to quell a Union riot that had broken out some
where in tho State. ,
AH INSOLENT CONSUL—HOW BRITISH SUBJECTS
ARB DEALT WITH.
As Boon as I reached Norfolk I called on Myar
Myers, the British consul, to have my passport en
dorsed. He asked ine a dollar and a half for the
trouble. I offered him Secesh money, which he de
clined, and to'd me nothing<,would appease him but
hard specie. More than that, he hold posses
sion of my pass until I obtained the specie, for
which I was compelled to pay one dollar premium.
He then made us wait his pleasure three or four
weeks, until wo grew sick and tired. In the inters
val, to pass the time, we made the acquaintance of
about three hundred and fifty or four hundred
British subjects, who had' come from New Orleans
and other Southern cities to got North, but who,
like ourselves, had got themselves in a precious fix.
Finally, when Mr. Myers' shi ly-shallying became
positively unendurable, aii informal delegation of
us, consisting of a Mr Butler, of Savannah, a friend
of mine named-Dick Murphy? of Now Yo'rjsj,say
self, and,several:othersV invested Mr. "Myers' office’
-T .n - * I"""* ’’’
“ - ■ Kick
,0»lAlr«n»u. ...
r. Myers, wo aro bioj
here!”
- Mark the reply:
“ You d —i i Irishmen, you come to the South to
male a living hire, and then, when the South
wants you to fight for her, you take out British
protection-papers from a Government yon hate,
and' go over to the enemy, and give all the in-'
formation you can about us l”
I have not exaggerated hia language one iota,
and can bring several witnesses to corroborate my
statement.
I answered: Mr. Myers I did not expect this
from you. I have always treated you. as a gentle
man. If I should ever live to get through the lines
'on the way to Canada, 1 shall make it my business
to visit Lord Lyons, and ask his lordship whether
this is the language a subject of Great Britain is to
receivefrom one of her Majesty’s consuls?:” 1
“ Leave my offico, you d—d rascal,” replied Mr.
Myers, “you haven’t got your hand out of the
lion’s mouth yet!”
OFF TO RICHMOND/
I left the office, and after coming out," weApld a
consultation. After talking the matter SlH&wo
concluded that as we could not get North,'yraHhad
better go to Richmond. To Richmond we'went,
and there I managed to seoure a position, in the
Exminer office. Being a printer, I_was exempt
from drafting. . i
On the 29th of March, I took my passport to
Frederick Cridland, the British copsul, who signed
it. I told Mr. Cridland the language Mr; Myers
had made use of towards me. He replied-:-’I) do
not know: what is the matter with Mr. Myers; I
have heard hiß manner Bpoken of several times; £
presume his irritability is owing to his advanced
age. -
I asked Mr. Cpdland, if there was any earthly
prospect of my ?
He answered “no.
That being the state of affairs, I continued at
work, none of the employees of the offioo being
aware that I had British papers in my.possession
until three weeks ago. Meanwhile, I visited the
consul frequently, and he advised me to see the
Secretary of War. I made several applications
to see that functionary, but failed in eaoh. finally,
I encountered Mr. JBlodsoe, the assistant secretary,
and stated my ease. Mr. Bledsoe told me to call
“on the following day.” I kept oalling “on the
following day” for about two weeks, and gave it
up as a bad job. Two weeks ago 1 became disgusted
with everything. I said to my wifo, “ there is no
use in talking. I must stay on the Exarrfiner as
long as I can, and then join the Seoesh army.”
My wifo, not at all inclined to despair, took the
case in hand, and, on the following Monday, called
on Qen. Winder. The result of the visit was the
issue of the following:
■ Headquarters. Department Henrico

States to vißit Montreal, Canada, subject to the control
of the military authorities of the Confederate States.
JOHN H. WIMtKB, Brigadier General
Thus armed, I went to Mr. Cridland, and re
ceived from him a letter of introduction to the pro
vost marshal of Petersburg,,Col. Pannell.
OPF TO PETEBSmjna
I started for Petersburg, saw Col. Pannell, pre
sented the, letter, and had my passport' endorsed.
The Colonel sent an aid with it to the Miliiary Go
vernor, General French, who likewise approved it,
and furnished me with this pass:
• ; Headquarters, Petersburg, July 23,1882.
Pbbs Mr. Teler Dolan, his wife and three children;
through oor linos, ho being a British subject, and having
the permission of the Secretary of War to that effect. If

By order of Brigadier General French.
WIDDIAM H. HER,
’ Assistant Inspector, General.
But I had not gone the rounds of the eironmloou
tion offico yet, and had to go to a Mr. Nathans,
took his pen and scratched these -words on the
document:
Approved.
Before leaving headquarters, Gen, French ad
vise,;me. to go North via Suffolk. On
'Wakefield depot 1 met a gentleman—one of the few
•whom I encountered in Dixie. The gentleman might
have been Secesh, or might not, from anything I
\nld perceive, but he very kindly gave mo advice
■w\}h saved me a fruitless, journey. Ho told me
that\could only, go about thirty miles by rail, ■
when hwould find the road wholly out of gear, and
all the bftjges burnt or broken down, He advised
me by all means to go by a flag of truoo. Back I
wentto the general, who informed me that a flag
of true'e would \>ave City Point, which I could reach
by the Southside'ltailfoad, at 8J on the next morn*'
fog. With a ligVfc heart I returned to the hotel
with my family, and slept more soundly that night
than I had done forsaany months before.

feature of the programme ,V The landlady (I am

“ How’s that?” said I. _
“ Basy enough,” said the landlady. “ Pay the
bill!”
There was no time for argument, and as I did
not fanoy the ignominy of being placed in dose con
finement for attempting to impose upon a “ lone
widow,” I yielded. ■ ■,
Beaching the depot, we were compelled to await
an hour and a half before tho flag-of-truoo oar was
ready to start. At length, however, the trip com
menced, and the expense was somewhat in the
boarding-house style. Myself and wife were
charged one dollar, and each of our children
twenty-five cents. About half past eleven we
reached,City Point, where the train stood for an
hour, vainly blowirg its whistle and. signaling for
the boat. There being no sign of a boat that day,
the captain of the train concluded to return to Pe
tersburg. Said Ite Captain Hopkins,
“ What are we to do?” .
He replied, “ Get ready to go back.Jd \
I protested, and told him that I had ho money to
pay for the return trip, and that altogether I was
in a very pretty dilemma. He concluded to allow
me to remain, and assured me that the train would
be down again in tho afternoon, when ho would
bring me a basket of provisions.
OFF FOR FORTRESS MONROE
About. & o' clock the State of Maine, Kennebec,
and Commodore hove ip sight, with the stars and
stripes and white Hag floating from their peaks. A
lieutenant of the watch accompanied us down to
the wharf to see us off. Doctor Bronson, of the
Commodore, sung out, “ Who have you thoro ?”
“ Some British subjects;. will you take them in
charge?”
“ Yes,” replied the captain.
We got. on board, and remained there all night.
Next day a lot of prisoners arrived, (the same who
reaobed this city in the Commodore on Wednesday
and these having embarked, we started
Northward, and reached this city via ffortress Mon

THE NEW MERRIMAC.
Sunday three weeks, I was on board the Mam
mae, being anxious to get a look at her before I
came away. She is a very formidable vessel, con
structed with much skill. Her woodwork was then
finished. On the following day she. was taken
across the river to the Tredegar Works to have her
plating put on. The plates are about ten feet long,
and ten inches in width. They are punched en
tirely through' with boles’for the insertion of the
bolts, and will overlap one another when in posi
tion/... .
Dike Merrimao No. 1, she is a formidable ram,
but is somewhat smaller than the groat original, ,
which, in every other respect, she greatly.resembles.
Her roof runs up to a peak, of such a height that
the sides rise at.a sharp angle. When ironed, and
her machinery put in, her guards will probably not
be over one foot above the water. Being much
smaller, she will be far more manageable than Mer
rimac the first. .Her.guards were about six feet
above the water’s edge. The ram was well beaked,
reaching about four feet above the deck, and ex
tending out six or eight feet.
HER ARMAMENT.
Although her armament was of course not yet on
hoard, its character was no secret. The .entire
public having access to the vessel, it was easy to
be seen what number of guns sho was to carry, as
well as their approximate character. From other
information, however, I can state that she will
carry one bow, one stern, and three side guns,.
They are to bo of the same description as those
which are mounted at Port Darling, their ability
to pierce our iron-armored vessels, having, in the.
attack upon that: fortress, been exemplified—at
least to the satisfaction of Sccesh. The balls to be
used aresteel-pointed, and were being made on the
day of our departure, as well as previously.
She is no doubt completed by this time, and
ready for offensive operations, as a very large gang
of workmen were employed upon her. She is the
pride of the Richmonders, who rely upon,
her for the defence of the oity as much as upon -
their armies. It is boastingly deolared, and uni
versally believed by them; that “-she will sweep,
ike James river.” While this is undoubtedly
bombast, it is certain she has one feature of formic
dabiencss not possessed. by Merrimac No.,l—her
armor-plating extondsfjefo w the water-line.
HER CREW —ITEMS.
Singularly enough, her crew is to consist only of
the old crew of McTrimao the'first. The men were
quartered on Thirteenth street, a few doors, from
tho Examiner, office, in a building styled “ Tho
SAilor’s Homo.*’

this line, “ The bird has flown!” Tho rebels were

GENERAL BUELL’S ARMY.
[From-the Cincinnati Times of July 29tU ]
Much apprehension is felt for Buell's army. A Georgia
papery in close communication with Chattanooga, com
menting on the situation more than three weeks ago,
placed Buell in a “tight placeman! such seems to. be
bis position. The original design contemplated Buell’s
eariy advance on Chattanooga, tho occupation of that
point being at once tho deliverance of Bast Tennessee.
The rebels took advantage of his halt to interpose
20,000 men between him and Chattanooga, and to de
spatch heavy bodies of cavalry to harraes the scattered
divisions of his army. They cut off his communication
with HashviU?, and they e u rider od his communication
witb Corinth. JEJjb advance reaching Battle Creek, thirty
miles from Chattanooga, was compelled to halt, and at
Battl? Crotk it has boon for throe weeks, and at Battle
Creek it still is. In short, Buell, with at least forty thou
sand turn, in now doing just what General Mitchell, with
four thousand men, did, and no more—occupying

Judge Yeamer, of Boeder son county, lias likewise*
issued a card, in which he says: > ;.■■■■•
. To the members of the Secession party of this county
I will speak a few words. Your party, and the rebel Go
vernment yon have been sympathizing with, are wholly
responsible for the condition of thingß now existing in
teveral counties bordering on Daviess. It is well known
that a few weeks ago many of you made dark and wUe
bints of what tbe guerillas would Boon accomplish. It is
well known that you could now prevent the iniiuity by
giving them plainly to understand that.you are not their
irzends; that you don’t vast them in your midst, and if
they come you will resist is equally well known
you have not done tbis.Tbe result will be that you will
bo held responsible in your persons and property for aIL
damage they do. The Union men of the county have
taken position, and have taken arms on the question.'
Tbe responsibility now rests with you. We want peace;
sincerely end ardently want it. But we will neither buy
it nor compromise for it. If it is uttered, we will accept
it; otherwise, we will compel it. ;
ESCAPE OF REBEL PRISONERS.
[From.the Alton (111) Telegraph; of July 26th ]
During last night, thirty* fivo priso&erß, who were con
fined in the military prison in this city, made their es
cape. It is supposed that for some days post some of tho
number have boen working at a tunnel, some fifty feet in
length, through which they gained their liberty. They
commenced digging in a shed containing a bake.oven and
the wash- house. The oven not being used, they made a
hole from the top of the oven through to the earth be
neath, and going some seven feet below the surface, dug
a trench or tunnel under the wall, making tho place of
exit some six ftet from the end of the sentinel’s boat. It
is supposed that the most of the dirt was carried in
buckets and thrown into tho' sinks, during the night al
though a large quantity of the earth is filled upon and
around the oven. The prisoners have been in the habit
of hanging their clothes all around the wash-house, and
they were thus enabled to work with comparative securi
ty from observation. r
CLarkß H. Fulcher, one of the number who .«»capea,
returned this morning, and gave himself np*' Ho states
that otter reaching tbe outside of tbs prison, they scat
tered like sheep, throughout the vicinity. Ho, with two
others, went about two miles below the city, when h 8 de
termined to comeback and give himself up.
fe; Among tho«e who escapedj is Colonel Magoffin, who
has been confined in a cell, having been sentenced to
deathfor breaking his parolo It is supposed that with
outside assistance the lock on the door of his room was
picked, and thus he gained access to a Sight of steps
leading to the yard. He had to a sentinel in going
toward the sinks, but the prisoners always pass without
hindrance; the sentinel, not knowing but what Magoffin
was safely locked in his cell, doubtless -supposed he was
one of the privileged oneß, and for that reason did not'
stop him.
How thirty-five men could pass out of a bole in tho
ground, onlysix or seven feet from a sentinel, and not bo
discovered by him, is certainlya mystery. Oapt< ,Wash-,
ington, we understand, has sent out Bquads to make
search for the runaways, and we hope they may be all
safely locked up again in a few days.
Since tbe above was in type, we have learned that a
party of Boldiers discovered one of the escaped Secoahorß
in the top of a tall tree* just above the ,distillery. Tho
soldiers invited him down from his lofty eminence, and
lodged him again in the priosn.
THE ESCAPADE PROM CAMPjDOUGLAS.
[From the Louisville Journal, July 29.]
The attempt on tbe part of tho rebel prisoners to escape
from Camp Douglas on Wednesday night was more suc
cessful than it was first reported. The escapade was un
doubtedly tbe remit of a concerted movement between
outside Secession sympathizes and the rebels within, and
the whole affair was planned most systematically. The
Tribune says the fence was assailed in its weakest part
uppnJhe western boundary, and scaled by means of lad
ders which the rebels had constructed out of their bunks.
In their Uight they were aided by one at least of the
...guards] who not only winked at their etcape, but fled
‘ witu tnem,-leaving bis.unifonn/ behind^hiflU—A-nortion
only of tbe“reneiSTdriie(i in the aUompT. made a
rush for the fence with their ladders. The guards gave
the alarm. The long roll was sounded. Tbe cannon was
fired as a signal for distant patrols. The utmost excite
ment prevailed, but the prompt action of the soldiers pre
vented the* entire.success of the rebel programme. About
thirty volleys were fired nfc the fugacious Secesh, but un
fortunately killing none of them. Fifteen certainly, and
some say twenty or thirty, managed to effect their es
cape, three or four of whom wore recaptured:

THE REBEL WORKS AT COI/UMBUS, KY.
[Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.]
Immediately above the town 1b a right angle bend in
the river, of about one-half mile, with & perpendicular
elevation of 175 feet, facing the river on two sides, tbe
rest of the angle, of course, being back and protected by
these fronts. Stretched across the river from this point
were about twenty-five huge chains, principally stolon
from the Government by Floyd, and marked U. S.Navy.
The largest of them are composed of links measuring 12
inches in length, at d weighing 16 pounds. These chains
arefthree* quarters of a mile in length. The most of them
are &till lying in tbo river. The number of their guns, Bhot,
and shell lying around on tho wharf, on the edge of the .
river, through town, along the sides of the fortifications,
on top and through the same, is amsizicg, wondorfal, al
most incredible. The piece of ordnance “Lady Polk,”
which exploded and killed so many of their men, I have
just examined. Sho weighed 13,000 pounds, and portions
of her weighing two tons were thrown a distance of one
'hundred feet. Their powder magazine, which I also ex
plored, extends forty or fifty feet into tho side of the hill,
facing up tbe river, and had a number of apartments.
But the greatest curiosity of all is their engine for forcing
water up into the camp. An entrance is made into tho
bill-side tome twenty feet, as in exploring for coal—this
entrance being walled up with brick; then there is a
perpendicular descent, by means of an iron ladder, of
about thirty feet, where a room is found ten feet high,
ten wide, and twenty long, which accommodates the en
gine.* The forcing capacity of this apparatus iB 500 bar
rels an hour; the cost of engine, sinking and masonry,
$160,000. I can • very raadily understand Fort
Henry, or any other such fort was taken, but why tho
rebels should abandon this, which certainly was one of
their strongest and mostimportant points, and invaluable
As securing the navigation of tho Mississippi to them
selves, is more thaa I can understand.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE CYNTHIANA FIGHT.
i Ool.Landrum, in his official report of the Cyuthiana
fight, BayB: On Thursday, the 17th instant, about 3
o’clock P. M., I was attacked at this place by the forces
under command of 001. John H. Morgan, comprising:
three regimen's, composed of Kentuckians, Tennesseans,
Georgians, Miseissippians, Texans, and South laroll
hians, estdmfifed variously at from fifteen hundred to three
’thousand men; reported by Capt. Austin, his Adjutant
General, at twenty-two hundred strong, and two plocos
of artiliory. ... 1 -
The force under my command amounted in the aggre
gate to about three hundred and forty men, the majority
of them poorly armed, and nearly alt totally undisciplined.
All my men fought like heroes and veterans, in the
face of a greatly superior, force, as is. evidenced by the
slaughter that ensued, having held' them In check for
nearly three hours, from a most galling fire, which was
poured in upon us from every Bido : I think l it bsyond
doubt one of the most ssnguihary conflicts of the war,
considering the numbers engaged. '
FROM BUBZX'S ABMY —ITS StTUATIONNOT CBITICAL.
Oorxespondonce Oincinnatt Commercial, 30th utt.]
’ Hus tsvillb, Ala, July 25.—Gen. Buell has at last
had his eyefepened, and nowhe proctaims distinctly that
no slave shall be rendered 'up until the party claiming
him takes the oath of allegiance. This Is a step in the .
jright direction, and one that will relievo Gen. Bnoll of
many imputations, cast upon him. As a soldier, as ah
officer, as a gentleman, General Buell stands well in the
opinion of the people.
I had the honor of an interview with General Boasean,.
commanding Third Division, a few days since. The'
General emphatically declared that’ he was opposed to
sending negroes home to their masters, ,to cultivate corn
to feed Southern soldiers, who werw fighting against the
Union. While I was with the General, an overseer on a
plantation, near Huntsville, came in and asked the pri
vilege of taking home a negro who was in the employ of
the ..Commissary. Department. -./“Now. v sir,!’ said the
General, ”j am the owner of Blares in Kentucky; I did
not come down hefe to fight you’ for the purpose of libe
rating yonr slaves; Tcame here to fight .for tte Union,
• the whole Unirn, and GOd knows nothing else will satisfy
me. But you are fighting to destroy the Union; you are
trying to make Canada ot Indiana, to us in Kentucky,:
and, if this war lasts one year longer, however much you
may deplore it; every slave will be freed,'and slavery in';
this country will be among the things that were.” Such
a speech’, from such 0 man, is worthy of the highest con
sideration. v ; *'
I see, by. the Cincinnati papors, that Borne fears are on
tertalned tor the safety of Buell’s Division, on account of
the bridge burning between Nashville and Chattanooga,;
and between Athens and Nashville. No apprehension
need "be felt for Buell’s safety. Be has forage in abun
dance, and also present means for getting subsistence for
bis men. - ,
