Printers and the War. To the Editor of The Press : Sin : You will pardon the liberty I take in pre senting a few facts concerning the patriotism and laudable public spirit exhibited by the typographi cal fraternity of this country, in former struggles,; and in the present war for the Union, liberty, and human happiness. Dike editors, printers can least be spared during war, for thou ibis that important events are oonßtantly transpiring, for full accounts Of which the public so ardently thirst, and the only ohannel for obtaining which is the daily newspaper. Still, making a much greater sacrifice than almost any other professional gentleman,. the patriotic ! printerleaveßhiß‘'stand” to take another under the folds of the t: stars and stripes,” wherever the bright banner msy load him. Tho 11 art preservative of all arts” has never been eo widoly useful or so universally appreciated as in this oountry during the present contury, and it is the proud boast of the American printer that there are published in the United States more newspapers than in all the rest of the world put to-' gethcr; he is proud of this because it speaks vo lumes in favor of the advanced civilization of-the ration, and a wido-sproad demand .bn the part of the people for general intelligence and knowledge of every description. It is not surprising that the artists in snoh a profession should include in their ranks some of the most distinguished and learned men of all history. When wo go back, hundreds of years ago wo find tho hnmble locksmith, Gutten. bnrg, possessed of-a grand original idea—that of multiplying impressions rapidly from devices upon blocks of wood—absorbing the attention, and enlisting the powerful co-operation of the learned and wealthy I)r. Faust, who is able to call the at tention of the civilized world to the discovery, and seouro its adoption and application by the scribes of his day. The printing office. of Dr. Faust was indeed tho “ poor boy’s college” for Peter Shoeffer, for here it was that be obtained that' fine education which prepared bis mind and shaped his thoughts for the invention and manufacture of what have since turned the world upside down —metal types. A little later we behold in lovely Italy the sublime speotaole of Manutius the elder, a man thoroughly learned in the ancient classics, and the arts and sciences of hiB day, furnishing the literary world with works of untold value, printed in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, page by page. And so assiduously did he labor, that nearly two thousand volumes were issued from his establishment during his lifetime. So important do we find his labors to have been, that wo read of the journey that the Admirable Crichton—the greatest scholar of his time—made from Scotland to Italy, to confer with Manutius concerning the printing of classical works, and the introduction of some marks or signs of pdnetuation, to mark sentences, paragraphs, and their sub divisions. From Italy we turn to France, and observe the distinguished Didot family engaged in the artof printing —a recognized adjunct to royalty. In England we have great men in the profession,, from Cnxton down to Stanhope, Eiofiardson, Bradford, and Timperiy. In America among the “noblemen by nature” who have been proficient in the great art of print ing and have rendered their country servioe in one way or another, we are proud to mention the names of Stephen Day. of Now England, the first Ameri can printer; William Bradford, of Pennsylvania; Franklin, the printer, author, sage, and statesman. Among the most distinguished journalists of the country we find the following printers, which are but a few whose names occur to us now: Hons. Joseph F. Buckingham, Horace Gretley, Henry J. Raymond, Bayard Taylor, Major Ben Periey Poore, Rev. Thomas H. Stockton. Among our pub lic men, Vice President Hamlin, Secretary Smith, Postmaster General Blair, Simon Cameron, Minis ter to Russia; Senators Grimes, Harlan, Bigler, Baker, and others; Secretary Welles, Hon. John W. Forney, and many others, are now performing ho norable service for the country. Many distinguished soldiers have been, and are at present, our craftsmen ; among which we may mention the following: Marshal Brune, who distinguished himself on several occasions during the French Revolution, at the Areola, and in Holland, was a practical printer. John Lambert Tallicn, who did so much to over throw Robespierre, and who accompanied Napoleon to Egypt, was a printer. Jonathan Elliott, author of “American Diplo matic Code,” “Debates on the adoption of the American Constitution,” 4c., &0., who wasaleader in the Revolution of Caraccas, for the independence 1 of New Granada, was with Simon Bolivar in sa cral engagements, and was mads a prisoner of war when Miranda surrendered, was a printer. • Major General Dix, General Butterfield, General Sickles, General Birney, General Sweeney, have been printers. Cols Cake, J. H. Taggart, Tippen, and Major Pangborn, were fr inter a by profession, and laid down the composing-stick to take up the pen.firßt, and then the sword, in defence; of the Union. i ;. : ' Colonel James Cameron, of the 79th Highland ers, Capjain Madigan, of Boston, Captain Louis Quaokenbuah, of the sth Michigan, Captain Mo gonigle, of Baxter’s Eire Zouaves, and Jesse J. Thomas, assistant surgeon of the 10th New Jersey, belong to the list oi printers who have fought and died for the “ red, white, and blue,” in the present struggle. Boston has sent many printers out among her brave volunteers. A recent number of the Boston Journal, one of the best newspapers in the country, says: No class of our citizens have responded with more*alacrity to the call of their country than the members of the “art preservative of arts.” There is probably not an office in the oity that has not sent forth some of its men to help to swell that “grand army ” which is to “ crush out ” the rebel lion. The patriotism of Benjamin Eranklin still animates the craft; and they are ready to lay aside the “ composing stick” and shoulder the “ shooting stick” at the call of duty. The following is the' roll of honor from the Journal office: Adjutant A. W. Tebbetts, 33d regiment; Lieut. Cbas. F. Riohards, 33d regiment; Amos C. Clapp, commissary sergeant, 33d. regiment; G. E. Moore, Ist regiment; Geo. H. Welch, Ist regiment; E. H. Bowles, Ist regiment ; Benjamin French, 11th re giment; F. Erench, 11th regiment; T K. Ashley, 11th regiment; James J. Gillespie, 2d regiment; Wm. Hoitt, 19th regiment; Paul Seavy, 11th regi ment; Jjgmes Garritv, 33d regiment; Henry A. Mann, 32d regiment; Charles L- Nightingale, 29th regiment; Francis W. Atwood, 19;h regiment; Jo- seph Vf. Biebardson, Ist Massachusetts Cavalry; Charles H. Moore, Ist Massachusetts Cavalry; T. I, Hamilton, Ist Massachusetts Cavalry; C. W. Haniden, Ist Massachusetts Cavalry; Frederick Wilson, in the Navy; George Fairbanks, — regi ment; Charles E. Davis, Jr., 13th regiment; Chas. Lyons, Ist Massachusetts Battery; Chas. Wheelock, Ist Massachusetts Battery; Thomas Cook, 29th re giment ;W. T. Lyon, 2d Battery regiment; Ser geant major Charles E. Pearce, 10th Battery; Ad jutant Sami. Sprague, Ist New Fork Cavalry. ; Of the foregoing twenty-one are practical printers, and the remaining eight are from different depart ments. Thore are two or three more who will probably go, and there are . others, who cannot leave their positions, who have provided substi tutes. New York printers have also responded nobly to the cause—many of them having gained distinc tion as officers. If I thought you could spare room I might pub'ish a long list of the names of those who have volunteered from our craft from the commercial metropolis. The “Knights of Faust on Manhattan” will never forget their coun try in the time of her need. ; A Western paper says: “ Nearly every news paper in the West is advertising for compositors or printers. The truth is, the printers are all volun teering, and in consequence there is an unusual demaed for those that are left. The printers are ever ready, when the country calls, to lay down the composing-stick and take up the shooting stick.”' ;S . V ■ Indeed, it has been estimated that over oze per centum of our entire army of volunteers are prin ters. According to the last census there are 18,000 printers in the .United States, four-fifths of whom are in the loyal States. In the Mexican war the proportion of printers was greater, and what kind of soldiers they made may be learned from the following speech of Gen. Pierce, made at Concord, after his return from Mexico. The ex-President Baid : “ And Concord, too; was well represented in the brigade. There was Henry Caldwell, one of the bravest and most determined soldiers in the army. There was Sergeant Stowell, who was shot through the breast at Churubusco. As his last breath flowed he whispered to me, ‘ Do the boys say I behaved well ? If I have, write home to my people.’ Then there was Sergeant Pike, who had hiß leg shot off in advancing Song on a causeway swept by three batteries. Two amputations, whioh did not answer the purpose, were performed, and a third was deemed hopeless. Die he must, it was thought. 1 1 know better thqa they do,’ he said; 1 I’ll try another, and when'tney cut it again I hope they will out it so that it will stay out.’ A third ampu tation was performed, and he lived through it. He and the others named were printers. In the new levies the printers exceed, by twenty per cent., those of any other vocation, and on account of their intelligence and high spirit they have proved the most efficient soldiers in the field.” Philadelphia printers have not been behind their fellow-craftsmen in other cities. I would like to publish the name of every printer that has volun teered from this city, but the list would make a “column” entirely too solid and heavy, and take up too much of your valuable spaoe, and it will PHILADELPHIA, THUEBDAY, AUGUST 28, 1862. suffice me to publish the following list of typos who have enlisted for the war from the Philadelphia Press establishment: Alexander T. Smith, lieutenant, Baxter’s Fire Zouaves. Henry Lantz, lieutenant, 7th Pennsylvania Re serves Edmund A. Waliazz, sergeant major, 104th Penn sylvania Volunteers. Michael J.

Perilous Condition of Cumberland Gap. To the Editor of The Press : Sir : I have two letters from Cinoinnati dated 25th instant, and one of the writers is a clergyman The news given me is this, and the writer was' directly from the Gap, escaping through the woods in part, and with great difficulty: “When I left a considerable force of the enemy was in front of the Gap, while one regiment of re bel oavalry has possession of Barboursville, and eight regiments of infantry occupied Flat Lick, only twenty miles from the Gap. It will require great efforts and prompt action to save our men from being cut to pieces or forced to surrender. My heart sickens over the miserable management of our authorities at the Gap.” A second letter states these items: ; “ Our army is surrounded at the Gap, and if' not speedily relieved will be cut to pieces. Ashby’s cavalry are in Barboursville—a heavy force is coming through Wilson’s Gap and concentrating at Flat Lick, only twenty miles from Cumberland Gap, while our supplies are cut off. Such manage ment is disgraceful! “ Gov. Morton, of Indiana, sent a large force to the Gap, and these were detained at Lexington, not even dreaming of their want at the Gap, Bdi a short time since, eight hundred East Tennessee Unionists, and fifty North Carolinians made their way to the Gap and entered the Federal service. To think of these poor fellows being but to pieces is too bad.” 7. I have been, for months, disgusted with - the management of affairs in Kentucky and Tennessee, and, I have this day started a messenger to Wash ington, with a letter to Secretary Stanton, making known this state of thing 3. If our Government does not intend a more ener getic and sensible coarse of conduct, I advise the authorities to surrender to Jeff Davis, and his plundering and perjsred hordes ! - W. G. Browtoow. ' August 27,1862. Where is Our Cavalry 1 To the Editor of The Press: Sib : lam far from being one of those self-cbn stitutoil military critics, who manceuvro columns in the field through the columns of newspapers, nor do I believe that an Oocasional re verse shouldcause us to lose confidence in any one f>T pur generals. Yet, I cannot help'thinking, in common with many others, that some of our military operations might he conducted in such a manner as ’to avoid raids like that of the rebel Stuart at Tunstall’s Station, aid again at Catlett’s. To my own knowledge, we have as numerous cavalry as the enemy, but, judg ing by the above oxamples, our generals have not jet made it available. Stuart has preyed himself an efficient, officer,' and will cause us immense trouble in the future, unless properly looked after. We have two men in our armies in every way his equals, If not Ms supc pejiors; hut the strange plan of putting square men into round holes has hitherto deprived us of the services of one,of them, while the other was laid by out of the way, at the very moment when his activity and daring would have saved us scores of lives and millions of property. The former officer Is “ dashing Phil. Kearney.” as the army called him in Mexico, now commanding an infantry (.') division in Heintzelman’s corps-, the other Major General Stoneman, who, with two regiments of cavalry; two of infantry, and a battery of light artillery, drove the enemy up the Peninsula at double-quick, never halting until hs reached-Me cbanicsville on the Chickahominy. Here, however, ho stopped, according to orders, and we never 'heard more of General Stoneman and his cavalry during the'campaign. Why should not these born cavalry offioers, Stoneman and Kearney, have the chance of placi ng some of the laurels from Stuart’s brow? Give hem five thousand troopers apiece, and a little latitude, and, my life to a ducat, we shall hear no more of eava’ry surprises and guerilla raids in yitr ginia—Stuarts and Fitzhugh Lees turning our flanks and attacking our roar without any one to prevent them. Hitherto our horsemen have done little more than occupy earthworks, a service for which infant ry or artillery are usually considered preferable lam, sir, yours, respeotfnlly, Common Sense. A Good Suggestion. To the Editor of The Press: Sir : Noticing in your issue of 1 to-day a state ment to tbo effect that the Young Men's Christian Association intend taking with them, upon their proposed excursion to Atlantic City, some fifty of the.inmatea of our military hospitals, the thought occurred to me, and I take this liberty of making the suggestion through your influential journal— that as the hotel lessees of the above named water ing place have reaped the benefits of at least a fair season, and in view of the sacrifices -made, for them, as well as for us all, that they offer the ac commodations of their houses, or parts of them, for one day to all the volunteers, now in the city under hospital charge, who may be sufficiently con valescent to. avail themselves of their generous offer. I have no doubt, should the gentlemon in terested as above move in the matter, that the patriotic head, as well as all interested in the matagement, of the Camden and Atlantic:.'Rail road would see to it that no laok of free transporta tion should prevent these Cupp-diseased and bat tle-maimed patriots from enjoying the pleasures anti benefits of a trip to Atlantic. ?

Sir : Permit me, through your columns, to ask if, in these “ piping,” or, rather, cannonading times, a robber, who happens to he a fellow-citizen, or' perhaps an “ erring brother,” puts a pistol to your cor) by what legalized method, “ under the Con stitution,” can you overpower or disarm him to save yonr life? The first law (of nature), on tho supposition that yon were unarmed, would seem to justify, if not empower you to seize his revolver by its stock or barrels, or, at least, to strike a suffi ciently blow at it to turn itaside. But just here comes in his “ right of private property,” the weapon he draws on you having been purchased or stolen by him, is clearly his by virtue of modern, or very recent usage. Under these precise ciroum' stances, what alternative have yoji, on true con servative principles, except that of quietlysubmi ti»g to pillage or assassination? lam, sir, your obedient servant, . A Suggestion. To the 'Editor of The Press : Sik : That distinguished - statesman and ardent patriot, Mr. Charles Ingersoll, in his late effort of Saturday, consoled himself and his select coterie of sympathizing admirers, with the reflection, that while they were liable to imprisonment for abusing the privilege of free speech, the authorities * were “ obliged to clothe and feed t/ieira.” In his pre sent peculiar position, this incipient traitor, though not exactly in “ durance vile,” yet hnshis liberty considerably curtailed; while he does not even enjoy, the pleasant satisfaction of the authorities being “obliged to elothe and feed him" these same’authorities considerately leaving the attention to that sanitary and .alimentary; necessity to the noble-minded “ martyr” himself.

That the 7.80 interest notes will at any , time be ac cepted in exchange for 8 per cent Confederate bonds, or for any debt due the Government, and that interest will be allowed, as well as principal. 2. That I shall recommend that Congress pay annually the interest due or these notes to the respective holders thereof on the Ist January. 3. That the 6 per cent call certificates cannot be issued for these intercut-bearing notes, because suck certificates are payable on demand in general Treasury notes of every denomination. 4. Tbd 7.80 notes may be issued In exchange for the 6 per cent, call certificates. Such exchange effects direct ly wi»b-the holder of the certificates may do indirectly by calling for payment of his certificate in current notes, and then exchanging them for interest notes. 6. The purpose intended by the ißsue of interest-bear ing notes is to take them out of the general circulation. This is effected by the fact that a calculation of interest takes place at every transfer. It is not expected, there fore, that they will pass into the general possession or circulation of the banks. In pasting them from hand to hand, the interest grows each day.

SAGBUDEft ISTADISfi EENTHCR¥ WITH Information liaß been received at headquarters here, from different and reliable sources, tending to show that an important movement has been made by the enemy : immediatciy incur front—a movement which is likely to make another part of Tennessee the scene of conflict, and which has already resulted in a preliminary encoun ter in Fast Tennessee . ... The enemy until lately have held with tenacity the eastern hank of Battle creek as far north as the Jasper and Winchester road. A few days since they quietly withdrew to tbo southern side of the Tennessee, yielding General Crittenden undisputed sway between Battle creek and the Sequatchie river.' Why. this movement was made on the part of the rebels is not yet definitely known; but it is supposed it bad some connection with movements from Knoxville, although the enemy thus re tiring remaiDß in force about Shell Mound, and has a picket line established along the bank of the river. Their camps are plainly visible from the mountains about Ste venson, and observations made yesterday by officers of the Michigan Mechanics and Engineers establish the fact that they still remained there in undirainished force. • ■ At the same time it is reported by Lieutenant Ootonei Miller, of tha 4th Ohio Cavalry, at Woodville, that a" lorce of four thousand rebels has appeared at Boiling Pot, near Guntersville, and is engaged in [guarding the ford at that point. It is stated that two guns have been mounted esmmanding this- ford; and other fortifications are being built which will, render the rebels at that point difficult of future dislodgment. To the latter point Gen. BneU, I understand, has paid little or no attention, as if unimportant in bis plans, whilohe has been content to allow General Crittenden to occupy tbe country east of Battle creek lately occupied by the rebels. Simultaneous with these movements on the part of the rebels comes the news of tbe encounter north of Knox ville, {he raid of Morgan and Forrest in the vicinity of Nashville, and the report of the marching of Magnifier, with fifteen thousand men, from Knoxville towards Ken tucky., This has been a plan of the rebels which you havt heard frequently hinted at, and accumulated evi denee is proving the correctness of that; unheeded infor mation. , The rebels are making a d esperate effort to reap the harvest of Kentucky and Tennessee. If one looks at tbe parched fields and stnnted corn of this region, and heap the truth told of the blighted craps’of the Gulf Btofcs, he wiilieadily comprehend why the rebels should make a jast desperate effort to reaoh the oornfielia of the twolStatea which General Bnell robbed them of in the sprkig. j 'Witbont those two States and Missouri, and with -Vitgihia desolated, the old idea—lately deemed fal laoiouE-iof starving rebels into submission, no longer appears.an improbability. There is, on the contrary, a. probability, which, under other ’and ordinary circum stances, Vould appear horrible when calmly considered. Magrufieris reported to have an army of, not Ibbs than fifteen thousand men, of all arms; bnt this is believed to be an exaggeration. The newß came.from half a dozen source—Morgan at Cnmheriand Gap, Miller at Nash ville, Neisbn at McMinnville, have repotted it. Their in formationlis derived from scouts, citizens, and ‘contra bands. Union men from the region beyond Sparta re port to Nelson at McMinnville .that the rebel force is <* an immense one.” Contrabands say to Morgan that it is a “ vert latge force.” When ihey indulge in flgnros, it is to givhexpression to their ideas of twelve or fifteen thousand: |Perbapa'ten thoneand will cover the entire force of Mfgruder. Be this as it may, there is little doubt thatthe rebel army Is moving in the direction in dicated, am that it is under tho command of General Magrnder. j Another established fact is that, like Pope, ihey intend’to wage war without a base of supplies, and that the country which they will occupy must subsist them. The old, worn-out promises of reaching Louis ville and Cincinnati are held'ont to the common,men; but it is doubtful if aiijrof the; officers anticipate so suc cessipi a climax to the raid.—-iV. X.

Huntsville, Ala., August 17,1862. self. It was written as a private letter to his wife, in Cincinnati: BIOHMOND, Augusts, 1862. 1 havo had stirring fimoß since I left Lexington. Yes terday, about one o’clock, my pickets were driven in from the top of Big Bill, about fifteen miles from Rich mond, to my camp near the foot of the hill. I i mined U ately called out all the men X could call together—num bering about four hundred—end started for tbs summit. When near our destination wo dismounted, and made the attack on foot upon the enemy, who were posted about 400 yards be> ond the top. One company, commanded by Captain Berry, had gone forward, but returned to the top, several men being killed, and Col. Berry having hud two horses shot under him. We then moved forward on fo n t. amid a Bhower of bullets and shells, which so terrified my taw, undisci plined recruits, that I could not bring more than one hun dred of them in sight of the enemy. The great m+jartty, I am sorry to say, mounted their horses and fled, without even getting a look at the foa. It was impossible to rally them, and they continued their flight to some distance north of Richmond, and were only checked by mooting the brigade under Col. Link, who compelled thorn to re-- turn to Richmond, whore they now are. The brave boys who did their duty were sacrificed through these cowards, for 1 have no hesitation ia saying • hat if the latter had obeyed my orders, tho rebels would have been whipped. Weakened as they were, the hundred men fought tho enemy for an hour aud a half, and compelled them to fall back. My men were frightened by the shells, but I do not think a single per son was killed by them, or a wound received, except a slight one on my hand, from a shell which exploded with in a few feet, enveloping me completely in smoke and dust. Fifty men will cover our loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners, ten men being killed. We killed twenty-five of the rebels.. I have been holding the enemy in'check for four days, ; though their forces are greatly superior to mine, and are posted on both Bides of me, less than fourteen miles dis tant, and may each attack me at any hour, I had de termined, however, to fight before giving up the ad vanced position I then held, hoping that reinforcements, forage, and provisions would arrive. Luring the four days, my horses had been fed with corn but twioe. The country south of Big Hill is entirely destitute, aud Bub sietence for'cavalry must be Bent from Lexington.. To supply one cavalry regiment, at the Gap, one hundred wagons will be required. I bad a narrow escape. Shortly after the above en counter, while with Colonel Olden, some distance behind our men, a hundred rebels dashed down the road after us. Fortunately, I had placed about two hundred Ten ceases infantry in the bushes on the roadside, who fired on the enemy bb they were'seizing ns. Several of them were killed and wounded, the rest driven back, and we ; saved. At the lime: the Tennesseans fired there.was not a man of my regiment in sight. In*company with my deliverers I hastened to the camp, where I found about two hundred men, and tried to rally them. The enemy appf&red again in fire or ten minutes, when my force ran p li-mell at the first fire. The Tennesseans, however, showed good courage, and checked the rebel approach, killing several bytheir well-directed fire. They.also took some prisoners, who say thattbeir com mand consisted of two regiments of cavalry, having one battery of three pieces of cannon. They were rep uted to number 1,200 men. The odds were fearful—twelve to one—but I was determined to have a fight, and would not leave my position unloss driven from it. I think we did exceedingly well under the circumstances. The ene my pursued us to this place, where we arrived about 10 o’clo sk. Shortly after they sent in a Sag of truce, de manding an unconditional surrender of myself and the town. I replied that I would net surrender, and would fight it out. I sent their flag* bearer out of town, and immediately despatched runners out on the Lexington road to hasten Colonel Link, who was approaching from th.it direction. Be arrived about 12 o’clock with rein forcements,'end theenemy concluded to postpone" their attack, and to* day retreated. LEOKIDAS METOALFB. i THE ATTACK ON FORT DGNKLSON.

It would be invidious to mention names where all did so well. Yet, without disparaging other officers, I must mention Major Hart, whose gallantry has won the praise of all.

THE SURRENDER OF CLARKSVILLE —STATEMENT OF OFFICERS. After sending back to Ohio the" sick, we did not, all told, number three hundrea men fit for duty. Bnmors of designed attacks were received for several days, and, by Col. Mason’s orders, several temporary rifle-pits were constructed. A few days before the attack L«ont, Col. Andrews came up from Donelson, (forty-five miles dis tant,) and. Major Hart was sent to take his place at the fort. On the morning of the attack, Col.. Mason was near the river, 1 attending to the duties of his post, and, upon hearing of the enemy’s approach, made his way to the camp. Upon the approach of the enemy, Lieut. Col. Andrews immediately placed all men in camp in line of battle. Detachments had been Bent to guard steamers with Government stores on the way to Nash ville, others on telegraph line, and still others to gdard Government stores on the landing ; so that at the time not more than one hundred and' twenty-five msn were in line. As Uolonel Andrews was pre paring to open, fire upon the enemy, CoioDel Mason bad, by a circuitous route and rapid, movement, reached the camp. At that moment a flag of truce approached from the enemy. Of course, all movements were baited, and- the messenger was sent to Cel. Mason. He immediately summoned us to bis quarters in council. The messenger stated he was sent to demand a surrender, with the condition that private property should be respeoted, and the force allowed to retain its colors The true condition of affairs was, for a moment, canvassed. It was certain that a force of from eight hundred to a thousand was drawn up before Us, supported by two batteries of artillery—the messen ger Baida'greater number. Col. Woodward command ing, conjointly with Col A. B. Johnson, the enemy was called, and Lieut. Col Andrews asked to he permit ted to pass along the enemy’s lines to ascertain the trna number ; after some parleying the request was granted. He turned and reported that as near as he could ascertain, about four hundred cavalry men were drawn in line some four hundred yards distant; one com pany armed with new sixteen.shooter rifles; one com pany with carbines and sabres; balance with double barrel ehot-gune; at tha left and rear were drawn up about one hundred infantry; at other points of street crossings were stationed probably two hundred men. Be sides these about one hundred and fifty cavalry had dash ed through the city to the landing. This was Col A.’s report. But several others had reconnoitred and disco vered two batteries of artillery planted within five hun dred yards of us—the peoplesix or seven thousand in num ber, and'centalning at least one thousand fighting men, were rising and turning out armed—there were but five or six Union families in tha city. We had not the sign ..of artillery but a little bell-muzzled piece Col. Andrews had patched up at Donelson and brought along. A grapeßhot could not be put in its chamber. We have no ammunition for that! Under l these circumstances we thought it madness to hold out, and we unanimously advised Cot. Mason to surrender. N. J. Hunter, first lieutenant, I, 71st.

The Jltmphiß Bulletin of tho 22d contains the follow ing details in addition to these already telegraphed: On Wednesday the steamboat Acacia, commanded by Capt. Malvern, left this port for Helena. Her cabin was crowded with passengers, estimated at about a hundred and fifty persons. They were most of tbem soldiers, on their return to their regiments at Kelena. There were six ladies, stated to ho all the .wives or officers, among them.- There were about seventy, five tons of freight aboard ; most of it consisted of sutlers’ goods At 12 o’clock the pilot on duty, Lieut; Hampton, leftthe wheel, which was then taken by V. Maconiey, the other pilot. The night was not clear; what the pilots call “gray:” there was some starlight, but not bright At half past 1 o’clock—on Thursday morning, of course—as the boat was passing Grand Cut Off, which is sixty miles below this city,, she struck a snag, so that the end of the snag caught a plank in tha hull, twenty feet from the bow, ripping it off from end to end. The water, cf course, rushed into the bold with ex treme rapidity, and, in five minutes from the time of striking, the boat keeled over, and completely capsized. The'“skylight,” as the raised portion of the hurricane deck is called, parted from the rest, and with the “texas” or pilot house end the staterooms connected with it float ed. The hull completely capsized, and, in doing soV glided from the shoal where the accident took place, and sunk in deep water. So rapidly did all thiß take place, the shock—the rush of water into the hull below—the rolling overboard of the chimneys above—the riving qf parting timbers, as the hurricane deck separated from the cabin, and' this at a time whon nearly every tenant of the ill fated- boat was in deep sleep, that there was no opportu nity, for one to help another. Tbosa who were on the hurricane deck heard agonizing crieß, : heartrending ex clamations, and vain calls for help from those below. Then they and the rest were all struggling in the waves that surged wildly round the spot where the capsized boat was swallowed up. c- Of the passengers, it is estimated that at least one half, seventy-five persons, perished. One white woman and a colored chambermaid were Baved ; five ladies were carried down when the boiler-deck , broke from the bull, and the hurricane-deck from that. Such of the survivors as we have seen saw nothing of the ladies. They pro bably, in their wild fright, made some attempts at dress from the suggestions of instinctive modesty, and these few moments were fatal. The captain, clerk, and crew, with the exception, perhaps, of some of the deck hands and the negro cook, got safely to land. The survivors speak with admiration of the conduct of the engineer, Tom Bald win, who stood, faithfully at his post until the water bad covered the working parts of the. engine. l The pilot Hampton was asleep at the moment of strik ing; he rushed from his room, shouted out some hasty instructions to the other pitot at the wheel, when he found the boat keeling over, and the ohimheys railing. He slid along the deck until he was caught by : the sleeve by the guy of one of the chimneys. So held, he was car ried down Into the water, and far down, as it appears to him, ho was carried beneath the surface with the sinking iron, when his straggles tore the sleeve from the guy, and he reached the surface and contrived to get upon the hurricane deck. On this deck others managed to crawl, or were dragged on by tboßO already there ; others seized floating boxes, bales and broken pieces of wreck, and were thus supported above tbe water. The pitot and some others got ashore at Mrs. Dr. Kent’s landing. That lady showed them hospitable kindness. Some time after the accident theW.jLß’s despatch boat came down and picked up a number of the survivors and took them to Helesa. Of course we know not who they were. The Conway, on her trip up, rescued a number; she met the - ■< skylight” hurricane deck flatting twenty-five miles below the spot of the wreck, and five persons clinging to it whom she took off, others were rescued from the water. From seventy-five to eighty, it is not doubted, sunk be neath the .waters. - - • The only names wo havo boon able to obtain are ths following, which were signed to a series of resolutions which they passed, eulogizing the humanity of the of ficers of the Con way, and expressing gratitude for their generous efforts to save their lives, and kindness after they were taken on board.

Renewing, &c . CHABLEB FBANOIS ADAMS. [Enclosure in No, 3.] MR. SKWARD TO MR. ADAMS. Washington, May 28,1802, Sir : Tour despatch of the Bth of May has been re ceived. ‘ • There is a statement in the public journals that thirty vessele, which had deft British ports with a common de sign to run our blockade, have gathered at Nassau, and that they are now remaining there, awaitiDg the relaxa tion of the blockade at some of the Southern ports which the President has permitted to take place on the Ist of June, preferring to avail themselves of that lawful privi lege rather than persevere in their prohibited operations. I think, therefore, that we may congratulate ourselves upon having advanced to a new stage in our intercourse with maritime Powers affecting the present troubles in thß United States, a stage at which motives of sympathy in foreign countries with the insurgents, derived from the pressure of the blockade, will disappear. This stage is also marked by another improvement of the caße—nam» ly, the witndrawal from the ocean of the pirates who have occasionally sought shelter and protec tion in friendly ports, while committing depredations on American commerce. Under the President’s instructions, I dosiro to improve the position thuß obtained, to confer, if our representa tives abroad shall think it discreet, with the friendly na tions, upon the prospects of the war and their future course in regard to it.: , : * By way of introduction, I beg to. recall to your recol lection the facts that, at the earliest proper moment, I set forth most distinctly the opinion of this Government that the mutual interests, present and permanent, of all maritime nations, including this country, require the pre servation cf harmonious relations between them, and that the esme interests demand that, so far as possible, peace shall prevail throughout the world, and especially in the United Srates and upon the American continent. In explanation of these views, 1 set'forth the opinion that the industrial systems of Western Europe and the United States, including their agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, are, in some respects, to be regarded less as distinct national systems than as one general combi nation of agricultural, manufacturing, and commercial agencies, in which ajar in one country necessarily pro duces disturbance in all others, so that a serious disor ganization of the machinery employed introduction here cannot fail to r esult in derangement,' probably in disaster, every where abroad. There are how some painful evidences that these spe culations were not unsound There is distress among the peasantry of Irtiatd, in the manufacturing towns of Belgium, and the wine-presses and silk-looms in some parts of Ifrence seeming to be coming to a dead stand. AU the sufferers—l will not stop to inquire how jtutly— trace their misfortunes to the civil war of the United States. It is manifest that what the European nations want is an end of that war as speedy, and leaving the industrial system of this country as little disorganized as poßfaible. It would seem impossible, for any con siderate poison, to doubt that this is the very consumma tion which the Government of the United States must want, even morAhan it can be desired by the European Btatcs. This Government has expressed that want earnestly, decidedly, sometimes, perhaps, even impatient ly. Nevertheless, the.war has continued a whole year, against the wishes of Europe as well as of America. A new campaign is even beginning. In order to determine whether it is likely to reach the desired end, it will not be unprofitable to consider the causes of its promulgation to the pment period. This Government at the beginning ap&umed, and it has constantly insisted, that the Union could, wust, and should be preserved. On the other hand, the European nations, when they saw the storm burst upon the country, either doubted, or actually dis believed, the possibility of that great salvation. Europe bed but a subordinate and indirect interest in the great problem, and it supposed ibat if the United States could be only convinced that the Union could not, in the end, be preserved, they would at once forego the contest, and consent to a national dissolution, which it was errone ot sly thought would be followed by peace, while we knew that it would only be the beginning of endless war. Thus, European opinion has practically favored the in surgents, and encouraged them with ephemeral sympa thies and unreal expecatioos of foreign intervention, and has thuß protracted the war to the preßfnt time. Certainly thiß Government and the American people are even more confident of the preservation- of the Union now than they were a year agoj and are, therefore, even less likely now than they were then to accept peace, with the inconceivable pains and perils of dissolution. Can it be presumptuous, tbeD, for us to ask European states men to review, in the light cf the events of the war, the opinion which they formed at so early a stage of it, that the opinion itself might, perhaps, properly be deemed a prejudice ? Of course, in such a review the observer would not over- look the contrast between the p' sition which the Federal Government held a year ago and its present sitnation. Then it had been practically expelled, with all its autho rities, civil, military, and naval, from every Slate south of the Potomac, Ohio, and Missouri rivers, while it was held in close siege in this capital, cutoff from conmuni cation with even the States which bad remained loyal. Now it has virtually retaken all the positions it so early lost cn the seaboard; it possesses the Mississippi and all the great natural highways, and has forced the insur gents to battle in the most inaccessible part of the insur rectionary district. The forces and the resources of. the Government areunexhausted and increasing. Those of the insurgents are diminished and becoming nearly ex hausted . No ore, either here or in Europe, now contests these simple facts. The only argument opposed to them is that the insurgents have determined not to acknowledge the authority of the Union. The evidence of this is a cer tain resolute and defiant tone maintained by their organ. Certainly, so long as the insurgents have any hope of ultimate success, they could not be expected to discourse otherwise than in just such atone, nor will they fail to cherish such a hope, so long as they find a willingness to meet it with i-y mpathy in Europe. The very last advices which came from that quarter previous to the arrival there of the news of the fall of How Orleans and Norfolk were full of speculations about some newly-conoeived form cf intervention. But it must be remembered that the insurgents are . men, and that they may reasonably ho expected to apeak and to act like other belligerent factions under similar conditions. So, also, being men, and subject to the laws which determine the economy of society* they must in all cases conform themselves, however unwilling, to the circumstances by which they are surrounded. They cannot, more than othtr masses of men, deter* mine for themselves under one state of circumstances what they will do under a different one. A writer upon war advises brave men never to nail their colors to ihe staff, remarking tbit if they , shall be able, and find it desirable, they Gan maintain it there without nailing, while it will he more convenient to lower it if they shall find themselves unable or no longer de sirous to keep it flying,. But, speaking practically, what has been the result thus far in the present case? Has disloyalty been found an indomitable sentiment in this war? It pervaded even this capital and ibis District at the beginning of the strife. It no longer exists here. It divided Maryland, and provoked confifot there. The Union is now as strong in that State as in any one of the always loyal States. It committed Mis souri to the pretended sew Confederacy. Missouri is now active and earnest among the loyal States. It placed Kentucky in an attitude of neutrality ; but Kentucky is to* day firm, resolute, and even self*devoted to the Union. In other regions, where disloyalty was more general, such as Eastern Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana and North Carolina, acquiescence under the Federal authori ties baa promptly followed their appearance’ there, and the preliminary steps are taken for the restoration of the laws of the Union. It Is a simple fact that loyalty re* appears every where, just so fast as the successes of the Government are deemed sufficient to afford a guarantee .for reliance upon its protection. TheDisunionists, even in their strongest holds, are not a people, but only a fac tion, surpassing the loyal in numbers, and silencing them by terrors and severities in many places; but, neverthe less, too few and feeble to prevent tho return of any dis trict or any State to the Union, in the presence and under the protection ©f the Federal authorities, ' The President asks foreign nations to consider that we are only at the end of one year now, and yet the whole effective mass of the insurrectionary region baa been brought into the field by conscription. The credit of the revolution is dead before the first dollar has been raised by taxation to support it, and the territory which must bear taxation is at once reduced to the narrowest limits, and is exhausted of its wraith and supplies. The power of losing action under any circumstances must continually grow less. Bat that of the DisaatonisU is abating, under the operation of a cause peculiar to themselves, which it is now my duty to bring forward—l mean the practice of African slavery. I am aware that in regard to this point 1 am opening ft subject which was early interdicted in this correspond ence. The reason for the interdiction* and the reason for a departure.from it, are. however, equally obvious. It was properly left out of vie w, so long &s might be reason* ably hoped that by the practice of magnanimity this Go- vernment might cover that weakness of theinsurgents, without encouraging them to.persevere io their treason able conspiracy against the Union. They- have pro tracted the war a year, notwithstanding this forbearance of the Government, and yet they persist in invoking ■foreign arms to end a domestic Btrife, while they have forced slavery into such prominence that it cannot he overlooked. Tie region -where the insurrection still remains flagrant embraces; all or parts of several States, with a white population of 4,500,000, and a negro population of 3,500,- 000, chiefly sieves. It is thus seen to be a war between two parties of the white race, not only in the presence, hut in the very midst of the enslaved negro raca. It jb. notorious—we could not conceal the fact if we would—that the dispute between them arose out of ques tions iu which the negro race have a deep hnd lasting in terest,; and that their sympathies, wishes, and interests : naturally, necessarily, pnevitabiy fall on the side of the Uaion. Such a civil war between two parties of the white race, in such a piece and under.such circum stances, could not be expected to continue long before the negro race would begin to manifest some sensibility and some excitement. We have arrived at that stage already. Everywhere the American General receives his most useful and reliable information from the negro, who hails his coming as a harbinger of freedom. Where* ever the national army advances into the insurrectionary region, African bondsmen, escaping from their insurrec tionary matters, come out to meet it, and offer their services and labor, in whatever capacity they may be desired. So many of these bondsmen have, even with out the invitation, and often against the opposition of the Federal military end-naval authorities, made their way from bondage among the insurgents to freedom amongthe loyalists, that the Government finds itself oc cupied with the consideration of measures to provide them with domiciles at home or abroad. Not less than ICO such escape every day; and as the army advances the number increases. If the war shculd continue inde finitely, every slave will become, hot only afreeman, but an absentee, It the insurgents shall resist their escape, how could they hope to prevent the civil war they have inaugurated Item degenerating into a eervlie war? Truo, a servile population, especially one so long en slaved as the Africans In the insurrectionary States, re quire time and trial before they can organize a servile war ; bat it the war continues indefinitely a servile war is only a question of time. The problem, then, is whether the strlfo shall be left to go on to that point. The Government, animated by a just re gard ;for the general welfare, including that ■ of the insurrectionary States, adopts a policy designed at once to save the Union and rescue society from that fearful catastrophe, while it consoltslbe ultimate peace ful relief of the nation from slavery. It cannot be ne cessary to prove to any enlightened statesman that the labor, of the African in the Insurrectionary region is at present indispensable as a resource of the insurgents for continuing the war, nor-la it now necessary to show that this same tabor is the basis of the whole industrial sys tem existing in that region. The war is thus seen to be iproduclng already disorganization ol the industrial sys tem of the insurrectionary States, and tending to a sub-. vertion ef even their social system. Let it next he con sidered that the European systems of industry are large ly based-upon the African Biave-lahor of the insurrec tionary States,; employed in-the- production of-cotton, tobacco, and rice, and on the free laborof the other States, employed in producing cereals, out of which com bined productions arises the demahdfor European pro dnctionsymaterials, ana fabrics. - The disorganization ol industry, which is already revealing itself in tbs Insnr- . rectionary States, cannot but impair tbeir ability »» pro secute the war, and At the same time result indirectly In less injuriously at present to the Federal Government end to the loyal States.- Every African laborer who es capes from his service is not only lost tothe support of the insurrection, but be brings an accession to the pro ductive labor of the loyal States, and to that extent in creases their ability to continue the 1 contest-in which they are reluctantly engaged. , The : failure of foreign importation, as heretofore, In return for the exportation of Southern staples, stimulates the' manufacturing In dustry of the loyal States. 'lmmigration la accelerated by an actlvityinthese States resulting from; extended manufacture and tbq of -flse -tgw. i(hu» THE WAR PRESS. (PUBLISHED WEEKLY.)

I shall not contend that these effects would be perpetual. I know there is a reckoning r or every nation that has the misfortune to be involved in a war, and I do not expect for the United States any exemption from that inexorable law; but it Is enough for my present purpose that the penalties are neither more severe nor more imminent than the loyal States can endure, while bringing this un happy contest to its desired conclusion. Let us how suppose that any one or more European States should think it right or expedient to intervene by force to oblige the United States to accept a compromise of their sovereignty. What other effect could it produce than to render inevitable, and even hnrry on, that ser vile war,.so completely destructive of ail European interests in this country, which the Government so studiously strives to avoid ? I know that the danger of any foreign nation attempting such a policy, if it has ever existed, has passed, bb I am happy in knowing that no foreign Government has ever threatened snoh inter vention, wbiJo several magnanimous Governments have repudiated ail unfriendly designs. I have put forward that hypothesis only by way of preface to a question not less aignifleant—namely, what must be the effect of such, a policy abroad as will encourage the insurgents with hopes of en intervention which is never to occur ? Is not that effect visible in the obstinacy of the insurgents, in-their destruction of the cotton and tobacco already cultivated and liable to he brought into commerce by the return of peace, and in their studied neglect of the plant ing the seeds of their staples, and turning so much of the African lahnr as they are able to save into the pro duction of supplies ot provision and forage to enable them to continue the war 1 The effect will be further developed as time godson, in opening a way for that servile war, which, if it shall be permitted to come, will pioduce infinite, saffering throughout the world, andean only at last result in an entire new system of trade and commerce between the United Etates and all foreign nations. 1 need no! say that ,tbeßO views are not grounded on any proceedings or expressions of the British Govern ment, and are to he submitted t* them only, as they will ho to other States, from a strong deßire on the part of the President that the true condition of the present strife may be everywhere fully understood. I am, Ac, WILLIAM H. SEWABD. The reply of Earl Bussell to the above we published yesterday. The Massacres in Minnesota. [From the St. Pan! Pioneer, August 22 ] Fort Btdoeley, August 20,1862.—Knowing the in tense excitement that must prevail throughout the State, in consequence of the Indian outbreaks and massacres of the past two days, and with the hope that a full know ledge of the facts will stimulate the Government and citi zens to prompt and decisive action, I hasten to com mnnicaie such items as the excitement of the hour: and the exigencies of affairs, as they appear to one on the ground, will suggest. It is well known that dissatisfaction has existed in the various tribes for some weeks past, in consequence of the delay of the Government in making the animal .pay ment; but no one creamed of a well-organized and systematically-arranged outbreak, embracing tribes which have ever been hostile to each other. This fact, in connection with the circumstances which have come to my knowledge within the-past few days, convinces me that it is a part of the plan of the great rebellion. The Government will bo convinced of-this fact, should it prove that this is a systematized raid all along the border, from Pembina to the Missouri river. The party attending Mr. Wyckoff, acting superinten dent, who was on his way! to the Upper Sioux agencies to make the annual payment, met a messenger six miles from this place, on Monday morning, announcing an out break al the Lower Sioux Agency, and the murder of all the whites in the vicinity, except the few who had made theiresespe. Upon our arrival here we found the state ment confirmed.- Upon learning the facts Captain Marsh immediately set out for the Agency, with forty-fivermen of his command, leaving some twenty at the garrison. In the evening, seventeen of his men returned. At the ferry opposite the Agency. Captain Marsh encountered a large body of warriors, who opened Are upon him. After a few volleys, a large body of Indians, ambushed in hiu rear, also opened upon him, immediately killing a number of bis men. A retr eat was attempted, in which it was thought expedient to make a crossing of the river. While in the water, a volley was fired upon Captain Marsh, who immediately went down. Besides the captain, three sergeants and Tour corporals are known to be kUled,.and. a large number of bis command. Up to this time but four additional soldiers have returned—three of them mortally wounded. (Eg Monday night was a night of anxiety and p3riltothe little band at this garrison. Every man became a soldier, and overy precaution was taken to protect the fort Lieut. Gere, of Company B, did all in his power, whose efforts were seconded: by every civilian. The light of burning buildings and grain stacks lighted the entire horizon. Escaped citizens came in during the night, giving ac counts of horrors too terrible Tor the imagination to con ceive or appreciate. Mothers came in rags and bare footed, whose husbands and children had been slaughter ed before their eyes. Obildren-came, who witnessed tha murder of their parents, or their burning in their own houses. Every species of tortnre and barbarity the imagi nation can picture seems everywhere to have been re sorted to. I am no alarmist, and would not excite the public mind, but these things are true, and unless met with the most energetic and thorongh' resistance by Go vernment and people, God only knows when the end will be. Our entire will be sacrificed unless immediate assistance is given. On Monday morning a messenger was despatched for the company under Lieut. Sheehan, of Company C, stationed at Fort Bipiey, who had been here some weeka with his command, awaitiDg the payment, but who had been ordered back lo Biptey on Saturday. He was over taken twelve miles from this place. With commendable promptness be immediately turned back, and arrived yes terday morning at 10 o’clock, making a forced march, with bis gallant men, of forty -two miles, in the incredibly short space of nine hours. Nevor a set of gallant men were received with more heartfelt gratitude than tha command of Lieut. Sheehan. Mon, women, and children expressed their gratitude with tearß and blessings upon them all. The first movement of Lieut. Sheehan, tired and worn out as he was, was, to examine the picket posts andtake prompt and energetic steps to strengthen his position,: The little squads of Indians who had been skulking about the groves and bluffs adjacent were im mediately shelled and dispersed by Sergeant Jones. .

The Sioux Indiana upon our western frontier havo risen in large bodies, attacked the settlements, and are murdering men, womeD,and children. The rising ap pears concerted, and extends from Fort Bipley to th® southern boundary o! the State. In this extremity, I cal! tjpon the militia of the valler of the Mitnetota, and the counties adjoining the fron tier, to take horses, and arm and equip themselves, taking with them subsistence for a few days, and at ones report, separately or in squads, to the officer command ing the expedition now moving up the Minnesota river to the scene of hostilities. The officer commanding the ex pedition has been clothed with full power to provide for all exigencies that may arise. t Measures will be taken to subsist the forces so raised This outbreak must be suppressed, and in such manner as will forever prevent its repetition. • ' . I earnestly urge upon the settlers of the frontier, that, while taking all proper precautions for tne safety of their families and homes, they will not give way to any unne cessary alarm. A regiment of infantry, together With three hundred cavalry, have been ordered to their de fence, and, with the volunteer troops now being railed, the frontier settlements will speedily be placed beyond, danger. ALEXANDER RAMSES’. "EXPEDITION FOR THE SIOUX WAR. Colonel Robertson has been directed by Governor Ram sey to notify all persons having saddle-horses in this cc nnty, to furnish their horses, or appear with them, as early as possible this morning, on Third street, below the Widblow House, for the purpose of organizing, a cavalry company to repair immediately to the defence of the fron tier, which is now being devastated by the Sioux Indian*. Each horseman will provide himself with blanket, Ac., and arms, if he has any; also.; rations for himself and oats for his horEe for one day. One hundred wagons will be needed io transport ra tions, baggage, arms, &0., to Fort Bidgely and the scene of the Indian depredations. Colonel Robertson is also directed by Governor Ramsey and Colonel Nelson to hire or press all the teams and wagons in the city re quired for this service. All persons having leamß and wagons are directed to appear as early as passible, this morning, on the streets, in the vicinity of the Winslow House. Every team will provide oats for five days, and rations for teamsters for one or two days. * The Government will pay. all charges. Colonel Nelson will leave the fort to-day with six han dled infantry, for the use of whom the wagons above mentioned are required. CHIROPODY IN THE ARMY.—Wo tmderfitftad that several gentlemen, medical and surgical) of' the highest eminence, have tmited in recommending to the Government the organization of a corps of chiropodists) to inspect the , feet of the men and keep them in order for marching.. It lias occurred to us that this branch of surgery might he introduced into the army ■with very poiltive utility, not only with an eye to the comfort of the soldier, but the efficiency of the service. There can be no greater hindrance to rapid marching, or to celerity of movements of every sort, than the pain, irritation* end halting propensities arising from affections incident to the feet, and almost inseparable from army life and exposure. Careful attention to the condition of the feet of their soldiery was considered a material dementia the effective management of armies by Frederick the Great and Napoleon* and.wo see no reason why it should be disregarded in the brave armies of the Union. considerations, not less than the efficiency of the service, recommend the introduction of this branch of surgery* and under an able and skilful head an orgamzation of operators throughout the army might be perfected of the highest practicalyalue and importance.—rireto Torfe paper. -. v .
