(Correspondence of The Presej
MemPHI s Sept. 16, 1862.
It is to be hoped that the imbroglio which,has so long
talked between the Military 'and the civil einthorities, or
rather between the respective diettict commanders and
the Treasury Departraent, in - regard to tim regulation of
trade between the lOyal and the rebellious sections of the
country, is at last definitely settled, at least so: far as the
Miesiseippi river le concerned The special agent of the
Treasury Department;llll Gallagher, has been' hero for
come days in conference with the Bout of Trade and
General Sherman, and a Plan of action has been agreed
upon which protnises to prove exceedingly judicious and
effectual. '
This plan was announced to the public a few days ago,
by a published communication from Gen. Sherman,
dressed to the Board of Trade or this ally; froin which I
make the`following extracts. - '
war(di commerce should cease except sooletilfie
carried on lir Government agents, end I bog you wilikat
once control imports„and the sale of • contraband of
war,' liquors, salt, salted' Mesta, and medicines, on the .
following general rules: • '
"All contraband articles, snob as arms, powder, caps,
or any kind of weapons used in war. are absolutely pro-,
hibited. government supplies its soldiers liberally, and
the commanding officer can Dame to loial citizens, when
be thinks they need them, private arms or ammunition
for their protection. I will seize and appropriate to pub
lic use' any such contraband articles, and punish the
parties concerned to the fell extent of martial lats. •
"Salt and salted meats designed for sale must be
brought here only on a permit from yourselves obtained
brforeband, and parties bringing them must keep a re
turn, Showing the'quantities received, the quantity sold,'
sad to whom, in a book at-all grate open to your in
spection, as well as that of the provost marshal, his as
sistants, and the commanding officer: This return, count
ing what is on band, must always balance. .
" All 'kinds 'of liquors zninat only be brought bore on
similar permit obtained beforehand, and sold here in,'
limited quantities, to retailers or- purchasers, and, in W
like manner, an accurate account of all such purchasers
and site's must be kept in a book open to the Inspection
of the above.named officers. '
" Steamboats mast be prepared-to exhibit -these per
mits as a part of the usual manifest, and the command
ing officers at Cairo, ColuMbus, and Meinphis; may at
any aid all times take from, or cause to be taken from;
any steamboat, snob articles of salt, .salted, meats, or:
Moore, store them, or appropriate them to the use of the
Gevernmente according to the necessity of the Occasion,
giving the steamboat, or party in posseasion, duplicate
receipts therefor. 'Dreigs and medicines for pale.., tci.be
in limited quantities, and regulated as heretofore."
'Hitherto almost uninterrupted commerce has usually
been allowed between the loyal sections and all points in
the possession of our army. Whet° this is the case, it
becomes almost imposith:e but that soave amount of con•
trabondorticles should Lind their way threiligh tho most
strictly guarded picket IMO; and where imiximunicatlon
with the rebel' lines is as frequent and uninterrupted as
it is at' preaent from this point, an immense amount of
smuggling naturally would be and undoubtedly hitherto'
has been carried on. Perhaps the most thorough means
of preventing this is to establish a surveillance over arti;
cles which are •being brought here rather than over
those which are carried away, and thus make somebody
respinmible for the final destination of all contraband
articles which arrive here.
similar 'principle is adopted in the regulations con.'

to any point below, except on a permit from the Board
of Trade at this place. Merchandise needed for fair*

is allowed to go to such persons residing near the river
between Memphis and Helena as can prove,. to the setts
faction of the Board of Trade, that ' they, have . not
taken any• active part in the relAtion; but before
such- permit • can be' issued, the recipient is re
quired to appear before the proper officer, either. at
Memphis or Helena, and make affidavit that

whatever except for the consumption of his or her plan.

steamboat has been designated by the Board 'cif Trade,
which alone is allowed to 'carry such freight to any

not to eeliver any such merchandiee at any point except
the one deeignated'in the 'permit. The boat is also re-
paired to carry a -United States revenue officer, whose
business it is to prevent any violation of these rides. -
.If these regulations be adhered to, we shall undoubt

GENERAL ,SiIABICAN COUNCIL
Few local events of 114600 have occurred. hero since
your lest news from this point. Two occurrences,. how
ever, are perhaps worthy of notice. Tho drat was Gen.

all these Citizens who acknowledged their unqualitied
allegiance to the Government of the United Statesilo
meet !the General at the mayor's office, on Saturday
evening, the 6th inst. At the appointed hour the office;
or rather the City Ocamcil chamber, adjoining, was filled
with a crowd of persons of all °lessee ; including a nunilr'r
of the most prominent and inflaes tial citizens of Heatable',
some of whom have been known and regarded as uncom• •
promising Union men throughout, and many more whose
Unionism hes developed itself since the arrival here of
the Federal troops. In saying shie r l do not mean to
cast any slur or suggest any criticism on men of thislatter
class. No one who does not understand the severity of
_the reign of terror which existed here under the Confe
derate rale, or appreciate the force of that whirlwind of
passion wltlch,sWept, oven the land, can understand:the
amount of absolute heroisin which was required to stand
in opposition to the popular current, when the separation
seemed absolute and 'final, when the rebellion roomed to

yernment to be employing its • entire energies simply
to defend its . own capital ; when through the re•
preeentations of such men as Vallendigham, It was car
rently believed throughout the South that a large and
poierful ;arty in the North fevered their plans and ac
tion, can it be wondered at that men, even honest pa
triots, whose homes, whose families, whose entire posses- .
slims, lay in the track of the Storm, should, for a time,
have wavered from their fealty '1
Since I have been In this city, and have learned from
personal -testimony the influences which were hero
brought to bear to produce unanimity of appearance, if ,
not of feeling, I have felt mach_ , more charitably in
clined towards those men who, for a time, yielded a tacit
obedience to the Towers that were. At the same time,
I would accord ail the greater honor to the noble few
. who bravely breasted the storm to the end.
But to return to the meeting. It was , organized by the
choice of Col. B. D. Nabors, a prominerat citlzsn, and
former Representative in Congrees from this dietrict; its
. obairinan ; - after which, Gen. Sherman made a speeCh,
explaining in general the causes and objects of the

he arrived he -had been overrun With 'applications

nattersi'and ebonld now be glad to hear frain any otni,
Ho did not procaine to redress their grievancee, or to take
their ,advice, but would give any one 4 patient bearing
Hereupon a desultory discussion arose, lint no particular
Doint seemed to be •reached until one of the speakers,
after considerable beating about the bush, atlast brought
np ,that pet Rrievance of the South, their runaway ne
gro... 'Quite a number of valuable " bops" and " girls"
had forsaken their proper homes since the arrival of Our
forces here, and the military power was' invoked
to reclaim them ' General Sherman's reply to 'this
spina was brief but conclusive. He simply referred
them to an act of bongrele, passed in May last, Strictly
forbidding any officer In the military er naval service of
the United States froui using - his power to enforce the
return of fugitive slaves. This was exclusively theiluty•
of civil'oflicers, provided by United States law for that
purpose and as the rebellion had destroyed such officers,
.the best thing the slave owners could do, if they wil,hed
to retohiposeession of their property, would be to aid to
restore the efficiency of the national laws immediately.
The meeting took the hint, and appointed a committee to
draw up a memorial to Judge (fatten, requesting him to`
appoint a United States commissioner for this point, in'
accordance with the requirements of the 'fagitive-slave
law of 1850.,
Was it not rather an odd.coincidence that the very first
direct application for a restoration of the NatlonaV-an:'
thority here should have been made on behalf of the
very institution for whose sake the rebellion was insd-'
toted 7 Another point of some interest came up is the
meeting: ln the course of some remark's on the amount,.
of Union sentiment existing here, one of the speakers
suggested that the meeting request General Sherman to
extend and enforce the brder of General , Hovey, so as to
require the oath of appliances from all white melee ab4ve
the ago of twenty .one now remaining in foircity. This
suggestion was received by the meeting with loud - arid
continued applause. General Shermari arose, and• said
that it would be useless to put the motion, as he bad re
ceived instructions from high authority—he would not
say what, but it was authority superior to his own—not
to enforce any such order. It might ) be an Interesting
q uestion to inquire from whence such instructions came,
THE EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS
The other event to which I referred . was the arrival
here of several batches .of rebel prisoners, on their way
from the North -to Vicksburg, for the purpose of being .
exchanged. The diet lot arrived here on Monday eve
ning of last week. There were five steamboat loads of
them, escorted by the gunboat 'Eastport. The* rem %feed

• considerable excitement in town. Daring the' forenoon
of Tuesday one of the transports lay for some time at live
landing, and a large crowd collected to greet the prison.
ere. A guard was stationed along the edge of the water to
prevent passing back and forth: The crowd, however,
threw bout/into, fruit, newepapers, and letters on board
the boats, and the prisoners sent trinkets rind mementoes
to their friends on shore. A good deal - of conversation
wee also carried on between the boat and the ebore.' The
prisotirs'exiceseed their exultatiOn by frequent cheers
for . J.eff. t Davis, for the Southern Confederacy, and for
as mks." The crowd on shore • respoidetit:by waving .
hats, haidkeichlefs, and parasols, and by 'cheer' for
II Dixie," and for Our brave Southern: - boyeir. The •
presence on the lending ef,,a number. of our ooldfai,
whom curiosity or business had collected there, had;the„
effect to repress demonetratient among: the crowd which
otherwise they wield gladly have made. As it was, several
'mall rows occurred between the sokliers find Chi a/0104, .
thizera on shore, and there was, a prospect of a pretty
• serious disturbance when the boat shoved eat Into the
river. Two little incidents in connection with . theitiy
of •the prisoners ' are, Wirth. noting. On ,Tneediy *tier

The other incident, an even more outrageona vielation
f honor, and good taste, occurred at the chief :hotel in

To the Editor of The Press
Em To-day. I visited the ileld of battle at Sharps

, from my memory. The first intimation your corre

'sanguinary Conflist Was the foul stench arising from the,
decaying;bOdies of Min and - horses, which tainted the
air for miles around. The first ground visited was that
occupied, in the beginning of the engagement,. by :the
-Federal troops. Here, nothing but dead horses, old knap
sacks, gnus, pieces of shell, awords, payonete r and newly
made graves were to be seen for the, dead were buried,
and some degree of order again restored in,,this 'Attica.

of railroad iron, which verifies the fact ,that the rebels
bad inn Short of legitimate missiles, and: had to resort to
this means Of holding their ground. It is said that they
even used stories to fire from the cannon.
The meat scene was on a small ridge .where. the rebel
artillery were posted, ;Here the daughter was terrific,
'and the dead could ho collated by hnadreds. Along the
side of the ridge, andup tothe top, Wat 3 aline of our dead,

large oak tree, perfectly riddled with bane, and, having
been in the centre ofthe , conflict, without a whole limb
or branch to it. Around One tree the dead lay in great
confusion, some piled one upon another. This ground,
was hotly contested, and the rebels driven .from it at a
great sacrifice of life on both sides. A few-hundred;
.
yards from this is a-slip of woods, In which the rebsl
sharpshooters were stationed. An order was given to

AN EXCITED . ' THANKSGIVING DAY.

We have received from one of our special corresand•
dents Richmond papers of the 29th and 21st inst., from
which we take the following interesting and Important
news:
CUMBEAL &NI? a4.I. : BFACIIATED.
[From the Richmend Examiner, Sept. 21 •
The Secretary of War yesterday received a despatch
from General facKowa; commanding in East Tennessee,
dated Knoxville, Sept. 19. in which be states that the
Federal forces evacuated Cumberland Gap on Thursday .
night, and that 'General 'Stevenson was pursuing them.'
Previous: statements with reference to the condition of
affairs bad induced the belief that the enemy were
hemmed in, and that an escape was imponible; but this
despatch fr.dicates that the real position of things has
been little understood. If the enemy has evacuated, it is
fair to presume that we had no force to oppese him north
of, the Gap, and that biz escape, has been effected in that
direction. The announcement 'that General Stevenson is
pursuing him amounts to little, for of course he does not
mean to be overtaken.

[Froth the Richmond Die patch of the2oth.]
Fsom* the moment that our arms testified their great
superiority to the Yankees at Bethel and Manassas, we
eaw and eaid that their tree policy was to assume the of-
iensive std never depart from it. A contrary policy pro
duced a series of disasters which brought the (lonfede
raCy to the verge of destruction, and had it not been
abandoned at last, we are not sure that we ehonld not, in
the end, have become a subjugated and an enslaved peo-
ple. From the moment the defensive system was aban
doned, we began to reap the fruits of our superiority in
'valor and endurance. Victory followed victory in such
rapid succession, that the whole civilized world stood
amazed at our successes. Each SIICCCEIBiTO victory seemed
to rise above the last •In -brilliancy and importance

around this (gip', and they in their tarn were Overshadow
ed by the second battle of Manassas.
We have thie day to record an achievement which
throws near. all in the shade. An army besieging
another Army, .in a position strong by nature and
strongly fortified, has been assailed at the same time
by a third many, and has not only succeeded in de/eat.
leg that third army with great sigughter, but has, on the
same day, compelled the besieged army to surrender at
discretion. •
We remember but three exploits similar to this. One
of them aas that of Julius Queer, at Silesia—incompara
bly the great( at of en •that. mighty General's achieve-
monis—when, with sixty thousand men, he kept in an
equal nntntier wbo were besieged in, the Own, and de.
footed, with enermous slaughter, two hundred and. fifty
thousand who attempted to relieve them. Another was •
that of Marino Follett., at the siege of Z Ira, where he
kept in the besieged and defeated a Hungarian army of
eighty thousand men. The third was that of Prince
Flagon°, at Belgrade.
As far as we can understand the operations, from the
very imperfect accounts which we have received, they
wore somewhat as follows: Our army in' Maryland is
divided into three corps, commanded by Generals Jack
son, Longstteet, and Bill. Of there corps, Jackson was
engaged in the siege of Efliper's ' Perri, :and the other
two covered his operations.. Conceiving it to be of great
importance to raise the siege and' to relieve the belea
guered forces, which amounted in numbers almost to
corps d'arrnee, McClellan resolved to make a powerful
effort. Be 'left Washington, it is said, with a force of
60,000 men. From the.corresnondents of the Yankee
papers we heard of him at Rockville and other places on
the National road, some time last week; from which we
conclude that his army marched upon that road in the
direction of Fredericktown. The road passes through
Frederiektowu, but whether McOlellen kept it that far
we have no means of ascertaining. The first we bear of
him is at Boensboroi, in Washington county, which is
nearly enni.distent from Predericktown, Harper's Ferry,
and Hagerstown, being between twelve and fifteen miles
from each, and lying a little north of west from the first,
nearly due north from the second, and nearly southeast
from the third.
At this place, on' Sunday, he fell, with blowhole enor
mous force (ei ghty thoniand men), upon the- corps of
General D. H. Efill, which was the rear guard of the
army. The battle was long, furiono, and blood'' , tint'
Generalßill, although attacked by vastly superiorforceo,.
Stood his ground without yielding an inch, •in the ttigot,
General LOngetreet's.norpo arrived, and on Monday the
two combined attacked . McClellan and totally defeated
hint, driving his forces before them for five miles. Bat
'for the intersection of night, it is said the rout would
have been complete.
At 10 o'clock, while the battle was still raging in Boons.
bore,' General Miles; with his whole army, varionely eati
mated at eight, ten, and twelve thousand men, surrender.
ed to General Jackson. Vast quantities of stores 12,000
small arms, fifty pieces of artillery, and at least 1,00 0 ne
groes (some eay 2,600. were captured. Having disposed
of Mlles and his army, General Jackson was marching
rapidly down the Potomac, with the intention of crossing
tetow and getting in the rear of McClellan, thus cutting
him off effectually from Washington. These operations

[From the Dispatch, Sept 20.3
arum-a.partiotpluat in -the engagement we have ob•
tained some particulars with reference to the investment
and subsequent surrender of Harper's Ferry. Our in
formant states that General 'Jackson left Frederick on
Thursday, taking the Hagerstown road, and at the
same time the division of General Reimers and B. H.
_Anderson. moved from the vicinity of Frederick for
the Maryland Heights, overlooking the town of Her
per's Ferry. On Wednesday the division of General
Walker was sent down to destroy the canal aqueduct
at tbe month of the Monocacy, and arrived at the
point duriog that 'night The text morning early,
before they had accomplished their purpose; an order
was received from General Lee, directing Gen, Walker
to proceed with his forces, by forced marches, to the Lou
don Heights, via Point of hocks, to prevent the enemy at
Harper's Ferry from escaping in that direction.
• The division crossed the river at Point'ot Books, nine
miles below Harper's Ferry, and, on Friday evening,
leached the position assigned them. Gen. Jackson's
force reached Williamsport, on the Potomac, on Friday
morning, and immediately crossed and moved on Mar
tinsburg, twenty -miles above Harper's, Ferry, where
there were some three or tour thousand of the enemy's
forces. On the approach of Gen. Jackson, this force :ell
back and united with the force at Harper's Ferry, be
lieved to number about five thousand. Gen-Jackson pur
sued, and on Saturday morning reached Hailtown, four
miles southwest of Harper's Ferry. From this point be
'despatched a"conrier to Gen. Walker, then in possession
of the heights month of the town, directing' him not to
open his guns upon the enemy's fortifications until he
(Gen. Jackson) got in position; of which he promised to
notify Gen. Walker. , •
Meanwhile the divishins of MeLawe and Anderson,
after - but-little resistance, had become masters Of the
heights on the Maryland side, the enemy leaving them,
and joining the forces in their entrenchments on the Vir
ginia side of the river. On Saturday night, General
Walker received orders from Gen. Jackson to open fire
neon the enemy ., at daylight on Sunday morning. In obe
dience to this' order, at day.dawn the stillness of the
Sabbath was broken by the opening of Walker's guns
upon thefortlfications of the enemy on Bolivar Heights,
two miles above the railroad bridge at Harper's Ferry.
At the .same time the attack was made by the forces
Ender Gen. Jankson, and the light, which was desperate
and determined, continued throughout the day—Mcleaws
and Andereon shelling from the Mary land side. g
The enemy resisted with great spirit, and the gnus, of
which they had a large number in position, were handled
with great effect upon the column of General Jackson,
which 'bad to approach them through an open !mane,
where their guns had, unobstructed , play. The shells
from Wallier'sliatteries; and the impetuous attsoka of
Jackson's men rendered their entrenchments on Bolivar
Heights too warm for the enemy, and late in the evening
they fell back to Camp Hill, one mile in the rear of the
Bolivar fortifications.' Here they had heavy guns plant
ed,' and strong entrenchments thrown up, but within.
easy range of the batteries of MoLaws and Anderson, on
the opposite heights.. Night coming, on, the struggle
ceased, 'Jackson's. forceg occupying the deserted en
trenchments on'.the bills of Bolivar. That night old
Stonewall!' sent. a message to General Walker that his
forcesWarsi iiiporigession of the eneiny's Hest line of en
trenchnielits;',.andlthat, with God'. blessing; he would
hive Harper's. Ferry and the Federal forces early next
merning. • . .
At daylight the next morning (Monday) the fight was
renewed, the enemy still offering an obstinate resistance,
until about seven o'cloik A. M., When their colors were
struck and a capitulation proposed. Of the terms of this
capitulation we have learned no par denim', but conclude
that they involved- the emoonditional surrender of the
whole force,•negroes as well as Yankees. About 9 o'clock ;
our forces entered the second line of entrenchments, the
enemy having Surrendered everything, guns, ordnance.
and commissary stores, sm. The number of the enemy
is variously estimated at froni seven to twelve thousand,.
And the Degrees from fifteen hundred to two 'thousand;
Of our losses we are. not apprised, but judge from re
pats' Wet , General Jaellson's • column suffered pretty
heavily, In Walker's division we, had five killed, three
of these by the accidental explosion of a shell. Among
the killed in this division, we have beard the name of
Lieutenent Robertson, of. French's battery.
Another account, received last night, says that the
aorroader took place' on Monday morning last, at ten
o'clock. The firing commenced as early as five o'clock
in the morning. Shortly after the Yankees sent out e.
flag of truce, proposing a conditional surrender, but oar
firing did, not cease, when another flag was sent,
proposing an unconditional surrender,' when the firing
ceased. General Miles, the Federal commander, is re- .
ported to be wounded. -
The results of this surrender, according to this last
account, are as follows: 12,000 Yankees; 18,000 Enfield
rifles, fifty cannon, one hundred four horse teams, a num
ber of fine artillery horses, a large quantity of ammuni
tion. some quartermaster and commissary stores, and
1,600 " contrabands.
GORDONSVILLE, Sept. 19.—At Harper's Ferry we pa
.rolcd 11,000 privates, 426 officers, took 2.000: negroeS,
16.000 'stand of small arms, and 48 pieces of cannon.
Colonel Walker's battery took 600 horses. Our loss was
three killed and forty, woundtd The battle commenced
Sunday Morning,'and opened again on Monday at day-,
light. ' .
Theirdead were covered in the ditches—we could not_
tell bow many. In the fight at Sharpsburg we took 3,000
prisoners General Garland and Colonel Strange were
killed. „Genii:BlD. H Hill was roughly handled, but
managed to hold the anemy in check. •
[From the Richmond Dispatch, Sept. 21.]
The reports with reference to the battle fought in Mary.
land on Sunday and. Monday vary as to particulars, but
Concur in the etatement that the enemy was repulsed atter
General Hill was reinforced by Lonpstreet. The fight is
Said to have occurred at or near Middletown, in Frederick
• county: Middletoien is about eight miles from Frederick
city, on the old le ational 'Road, and - about fifteen miles
from ,Hrig enstown. '
' The most reliable statement we have I. reference to
the engagement. is, that the fight commenced between
. General D. H. Hill's division, fifteen thousand strong,
and the divisions of McClellan, BEl:maid°, and Sigel,
amounting In all to ' some eighty thousand mon. The
Federal force attacked and surrounded Hill, who. main
'tallied 'his positioa with changing fortune until night,
when he was rethiforoed by Longstreet'e
The nexeday the' fight was renewed, and the heavy
columns of McClellan driven three miles from the battle
field. The troops under General Hill are said.to have
suffered considerably, .but our loss to thought%be
heavier in prhionere than In killed and wounded. he
Federal lees Is also said to have liekin terribly
In addition to these statements, there wire countless
rumors in circulation about this engagenfent. One 'to
"the effect that General Longetreet has been killed, and
anothisr.that General Jackson With his force from friar
per's•Ferry, bad gained the rear of the enemy, and cut•
off ,hin retreat to Washington.
We endeavored to trace thew statements, and are
• ready to conclude that they , have no substantial founda
tion. That 'General Jackson will make the effort to
change McClellan's "base," we think highly probable,
and we have reason tolope, from his perseverance, that
his efforts will be successful; but that the feat has been
accomplished, there is no informationp eupporr,

Harper's Ferry was surresiderod to our forces about
two hours ago. General Mites was in:command with tea

It is reported that Gen. Garland was killed yesterday la

The Lynchburg Republican earl that a combined
movement was made upon Harper's Ferry by the forces
of Jackson, Walker, and illikkall, the former recromin,g
the Potomac at Williamsport, General Walker at Cheat
Ford, and General Mackall approaching from the north
and operating from Maryland Heights, overlooking the
town. Tto sewers' bodies arrived at their deatinatlon oa

Tbo light commenced about 3 o'clock in the afteimoon,
and was contested with dsanerste stubbornness until
night forced a cessation of hostilities. Oar artillery,
however,. pla7ed upon the Yankee entrenchments the ; •
whole night, and, as was afterwards aacertained, with
fearful effect.
At

slacken, and! at nine o'clock the Yankee commander,
General Miles, proposed to surrender. The proposition
was acceeded to,and in a Short time our troops marched.
in and took pmeeoeion of the enemy's works.
The fruits of this glorious victory are reported to be
ten thousand prisoners, fitly pieces of artillery, a large
amount of ordnance, commissary and quartermaster's
stores, and ono thousand negrtes, whom the Yankees
bad stolen. *We are kicdly permitted, by Governor
Letcber,
to publish the following extracts from letters
received by him yesterday :
V incuasTsa, 6eptember 16 —Alter theadvance of our
army to Frederick, and the issuing of the admirable pro- •
clamation to the peoPle of Maryland by Lee, a move
ment took place with our troops, seemingly in the diree- - -
lion of Pennsylvania, but really for an important move
ment into Virginia. After sending a portion of his troops

THE BRBET--ilgoa'--- ---.....-
- trrom - nre - snontatend Dispatch, Sept. 18.3
The A ugusta and Atlanta papers publish a despatch.
from Mobilo announcing the arrival of a, an iron. clad
mart of-war" at that port. The statement is' incorrect.
A special correspondent at Mobile furnishes the Charles
ton Mercury with some authentic information in regard•
to the arrival ref erred to:
The vessel is the steam corvette Oveto, now called the
Florida, and is not an iron-clad. Our readers are aware
of the difficulties which the commander of this ehip en- '
countered at Nassau, owing to the rigor of the Biltleh
neutrality regulations. Having thistly escaped from the
clutches of the Court of Admiralty, OaPt. HafflU steamed
away to . the Gulf and bololy ran the gauntlet of the block
aders at the month of Mobilo bay, in broad daylight, on
thiS 4th Inst. The captain was at the time nick with'
fever, as were most of her small crew of- thirteen men.
The Florida ran within sixty yards. of the Yankee ves
sels, and her titles are peppered all over with shrapnel
and grapeshot.. One 11-inch shell went through her side
a foot above the water line, and. lodged in the "• coal .
bunkers." The Florida is a beautiful and wall-armed
corvette of great speed. Her armament consists of eight
guns. Her dash through the blockaders, with a slot
crew of only thirteen men, in broad daylight, is one of
the moat daring naval exploits of the war. The Florida
did not fire a shot, as her crew were unable to man even
a single gun.. She had one killed and two wounded. She
now lies below the.city in quarantine.
A Common Term Beautifully Defined•
An old soldier, in appealing lately to his 11011 to go and
fight for the Government and the Union, paid :
•' Perhaps you have never thought what your Minter
means. It is all that surrounds you—ail that has brought
you up and fed you—all that you haveloyed., This court

• Valuable Testimony. •
Gen. Butler has organized, in New Orleans, a regi
ment of colored men, and it is the unanimous testimony -
of the General and a ll the officers under his command, ,
that they are capital soldiers in all that relates to drill
and discipline, and that they will fight!' General Bader
is of the opinion that with 20,000 whites, and the privi-
lege of enlisting 50,000 blacks, he could crush the rebel-'
lion in the Cotton Stites in just ninety days. We diinot
doubt it. General Hnnteftold a gentleman in Now York,'
'only a few days ago, that if permitted to accept, arm, and
feed the mon of odor who would come to him if sure of
protection, he could reduce 'the State of South Caro
lina to. obedience, or-make it a desert in a singie,:. ,
eh )rt campaign. These officers have had near contact ".
with the rebellion and its cause; they know the cure for
the existing evils, and are in perfect accord. Every matt
of common sense believes that they are right •; yet a clan
of our people, more careful of slavery than of the lives of
our. loyal soldiers,' object to the policy that they would
adopt. • One hundred thousand farmers , ' boys and 131er.
chitties from the North are acting as stegroes' substitute:
in the field to-day. Ifatinot that thine; inthe Bice of the

The Battle Autumn of 1862:
BY JOHN G. WHETTHIR.
Tbo flags of war like storm-birds fly,
The charging . trurayets blow
Yet rolls no thunder in the sky,
No earttqnske strives below.
And, calm and patient, Nature keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Though o'er her bloom and greenness sweeps.
The battle's breath of hell.
And still she walks in golden honis
Through harvest happy farms,
And still she wears her fruits and flowers
Like jewels on her arms. -
What mean the gladness of the plain,
This joy of eve and Morn,
The mirth that shakes the beard of grain.
And yellow locks of corn ?
Ah i eyes may well be full of teazel,
And hearts with bate are hot ;
But even-paced 'come round the years, - •
And Nature changes not. *.

With songs cur groans of pain ;

Too near to God for doubt or tear, •
she shares the eternal calm.
She knows the seed Hassel° below
The fires that blast and burn ;
For all the tears of tdoxl we sow
She waits the doh return.
She sees with Clearer eye than ours
The good of suffering born—
The hearts that blossom like her dowers
And ripen like her corn.
