Lamella from Chirles W. Russell, of Wheeling
'Virginia, and Robert Johnson, of Clarksburg, both
members Of the rebel Congress, havareoently come
into the possession of the provost marshal at Wheel

persons who, for instance, travel over the ` Baltimore
road, the penalty for violation of which is death (if
the person who takes it is afterwards found in
arms), is not respected by the rebel. Government,
and their Secretary of War writes to Messrs. Rus
-011 and Johnson that the violators "will be pro

kends of the enemy, as if they had taken no such
oaths or made no such promises."

The Nomination of air. Webb
It will be seen by a reference to our adver
tising columns, that a number of the Democra
tic citizens of the First Congressional district
have invited Mr. EDWARD G. WEBB to become
a candidate for . Congress, on a loyal platform:
and as a supporter of. the war policy of the
Administration. This action was rendered
proper .by • tho refusal of the. Republican
'Ooriveation to nominate a candidate against
?du &man. The necessity of defeating
ktueb an able and audacious representative of
the disloyal Democracy as Mr. RANDA.L.T. im
pressed itself upon the Convention, and, as
will be seen, has made a deep impression upon
the loyal Democrats of his district. We are
glad that Mr. WEDB has made such a noble
and manly response. -He is not an active'
politician, and can have no interest in the
present contest beyond that which every
true -patriot - will always feel. We trust
that the citizens of the First district,
Who belong to political organizations with
which Mr. WEBB, heretofore, has had no sym
pathy—the Republicans and People's Party
Men--will follow the example of the Union
Convention, and support Mr. WEBB. He can
only be elected by a tremendous effort, and
be needs the support of every true and loyal
man. The First district is looked upon as
hopelessly Democratic, and only by - the ac
'tion of conscientious and loyal Democrats can
It be reformed. In taking up Mr. WEBB they
have done a brave and good thing, and all our
humble ( ffor:s shall go to secure his triumph.
The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
cc Ovatures of peace .c.g The South has

The words are in every one's mouth. The
merchant repeats them in the intervals of

certain what it really means, but not daring to
interpret it by their Bibles and their hopes.
4.nd not alone among representative men and
closes does this vague suspicion struggle
with the glad welcome which the first
hearing of the words would naturally ex
cite. In the depth of the great masses of
the peoplo, the syllable is whispered with
distrust ; ()Ten the mothers and sisters and
wives, the lives of whose supporters and
loved ones are risked more and more by every
successive hour's continuance of war—even
They who lopk wearily up from the darkness
id a sorrowful past, and they.who peer ant-
lowly forth to a blood-enfolded future, mutter
'the tidings ominously. Peace! How softly
Lbe word falls on the maiden's breast and calls
zip all the h ve-richoned blood of that yearning
heart in one wild throb of hope! Peace!
What music to a mother's ears that has heard,
in a thousand dreams, the moans of her son,
gasping his life out in unsoothed pain! Peace !
Ao dear to the wife that she forms her in
fant's prattle to lisp the word that brings a
father home, on a lasting furlough, to love and
every domestic joy ! Peace—peace—falling
everywhere like a blessing, and a benediction;
and a balm. What, then, is this dismal sha
dow that falls across and blots our sunshine?
Why cannot the word realize itself in all the
fullness of its blessed meaning? How is it
That our commucial interests dare not trust it,
tier our domestic affections solace themselves
with its promises? Let us see.
Every American who can recall the events
of the last ten years, knows that peace is not
an end in itself, and that, therefore, neither
excellence nor the contrarytan be predicated
of it. We have at last learned this—the fal
laey of the opposite belief having plunged us
into all our present troubles. We know now
that only as a peace is an honorable peace
ought it to be maintained when possessed, or
desired when afar off. We see now that the
peace of the last ten years has been too dearly
bought at the price of honor and political
probity and compromise of every right, and
the subserviency of a nation to the lordly de
mands of a few whose aristocracy, founded
on the enslavement of black men, aspired to
domineer over the freedom of white men.
No, no I Too bitterly have we learned that
honor must go before peace, to make now a
peace void of all honor.
But further, peace, to have any value, must
bring with it" the assurance of its perpetuity.
What use to heal here if the poison will burst
out there, or to take au anodyne and think our
selves restored ? Peace is not a tangible entity;
it is only the condition of the undisturbed,
workings of Governmental functions. ' But
'will the South he likely to bring us such
Condition Has it over brought it ? Has it
not been a source of continual irritation and

The Contest in the'Centre
The contest for Representative in tin Pi
s composed of Lycoming, Cliniton, Centrey
Tioga, and Potter has assumed a very peculiar
aspect. The Republicans haveunanimously
nominated Hon. lirmiritat H. ARMSTRONG, a
very prominent member of the late Legisla
ture, and a well-known public man in this
State. He was in the lower house for two
years, and , gained the reputation of an able
speaker, a close and industriOns Representa
tive. He was warmly supported for the
Speakership, and was presented, as a candidate
for the United States Senate in the csai6ixil
which elected Mr. CoWAN. Theuomination of
Mr. ARMSTRONG was made unanimously,• all
the members of the National - Union party
uniting to make him their' standard;bearer.
His great services seemed towarranthisnomi.,
nation, and his election as a friend of the
Administratlon would hale been a gratifying
and, noble triumph. All we know of Mr.
Anitsrnono leads us to believe that he would,
make ,a most capable and reliable Representa
tive.
For reasons with which we are not an
quainted, a movement is being, made to defeat
Mr. ARMSTRONG. At the head of this move
ment we have the Hon. Jamss T. HALE, at
present a member of Congress from this dis
trk,t. The announcement that Mr. Thum has
consented to Oppose xtr,„. AIthtSTRONG, causes
great grief and surprise among his many
friends in Philadelphia. He' is a Republican,
has been identified with the boldest doctrines
of the Repnblican party, and is warmly do.
voted to the suppression of the rebellion. Why
be should consent to be the champion of De
mocrats and Secessionists we are at a loss to
know. There can be no motive of personal
ambition, for Judge HALE is too upright a man
to be swayed by any such considerations.
There can surely be no wish to give strength
and life to the Secession organizations we re
gret to hear existing in the central district.
Judge Max deemed being a:candidate before
the National Union Convention—gave no in
dication of any wish to court- the sympathy of
the Breckinridge Democracy, and was regarded
by the friends of Mr. Anus:L.loo as his friend
and supporter.
- At all events, there is but one-duty left to
all loyal mehin the central district. However
Much they may esteem Judge HALE, they
must regard him in the position of one who is
endeavoring to embarrass the Administration,
and use every means to prevent his election.
We are'sorryto be compelled, to enter into
such a contest, but the dutY•ii.paramount, in
evitable, and.shonld be performed.
Cordesceriding Eoputty Declinrd
There is a class of men, not very large, ex
cept in their own intellectual conceit, but very
annoying to thoroughly loyal me; and very
pernicious in the circle to which their influ
ence reaches, who ',think that they are con
ferring an inestimable favor on this Ameri
can Republic by condescending to draw their
knightly swords in its behalf. These fel
lows are generally drawn from that stratum
which = furnishes the elegant inanities of
Social 'life. They are well dressed 'and well
addressed, but empty-headed, and often
worse than empty-hearted. The patronizing
air.that they assume in civil life and exercise
so loftily seems to suit the army, and they
carry into' the service sentiments that would
not be permitted in any loyal, community, and
manners that would not be tolerated in a
drawintroom. The President has made
an example to all such men by his
ilisfaissal of Major KEY from General HAL
LECK'S staff. We trust that he will con
tinue to deal with the officers of the army as
he has dealt with Major KEY. The Republic
wants, no one in her service who does not feel
the conscience of her cause, and when officers
of the army talk about Abolitionism,. sym
pathy, Southern brethren, and a war for the
Ategro, they should be chopped from., the rolls.
Promotion from the Ranks.
The order received from the War Depart
ment to-day, earnestly requesting the Go
vernors of the several States to fill vacancies
Of command "by promoting officers, non-com
missioned officers and privates, who have dis.
tinguished themselves in the field, or who
bave shown a capacity for military com
mand," is only a more definite official em
bodiment of a policy adopted king since
by tho Department, but only partially car
ried out by the States. No order has
ever been issued which is more needed, or
which will be more salutary both morally
and piactically. As a matter of simple jus
tice, and as a, matter of common sense, it
equally needed ; for who shoUld—in virtue
of their claims and their capacities, grounded
on, and developed by, heroic achievement
'hold the commanding positions in the organi
:zations to which they are attached if not those
who have , dared all, endured all, and thus
learned all? Hail to the day that shall see
Sig order. most vigorously enforced, even if
the country,must thereby reconcile itself to
the loss of innumerable dandy shoulder- strape !
And hail to the brave fellows who shall here
after be raised to the proud distinctions that
the," have so honorably earned!
The Next News from Europe
The foreign intelligence by the Ituropa,
which we published yesterday; comes down
to the 2lst ult., and indicates a strong desire,
On the part of certain .London newspapers,
and a number of Manchester and Liverpool
Cottc6men, to involve England and France in
a deadly war with the United States, nomi
nally to assist the revolted South by =know
:ledging its independence, but with the real
and scarcely-concealed purpose of getting a
supply of cotton for the brokers and spinners
of Lancashire. These disinterested specula
tions bad been published close upon the arri
val of news in England that the rebel army
was about crossing the Potomac, with the full
expectation .of ample fraternization . and as
sistance from et Maryland, my Ilaryland the
invasion of that State being eentehrered by
one sagacious editor as fully eiltfivalent.to the
loss, on the field of battle, of half a million of
Union soldiers.
Every cloud has its silver lining, MinvoN
says, and ours was the fact that Maryland did
not fraternize with the rebels, and that the
result of the raid;Trom which so much was
expected, was defeat. • Driven back, with
great losses, which have considerably demo
ralized it, the rebel army has lost what little
prestige it ever had, and in a short time will
be utterly discomfited and dispersed. When
•the news of the UniOn triumph in Maryland
reaches Europe, how will 'the editorial gentle
men of London and Paris, of Liverpool and
Manchester, receive it? They reckoned, as a
dead certainty, upon the disgrace and defeat
of the Union cause in Maryland; and the-re
verse has occurred. In •a few days we. shall
know how our kind friends across the Atlantic
have taken the news of our recently rolling
back the tide of war from Maryland into' Vir
ginia. The City of Washington, which was
:to leave Liverpool on the 24th ult:, • may bring

The diming, by the President,' of Major JOHN J.

Leox , s staff, for the utterance of disloyal sentiments, is
regarded es an excellent example in high 'quarter's, and a
hope is expressed that it may be followed up - uctil the
army shall he thoroughly purged of those Officers 'who
so frequently offend the ear of loyal citizens by sedi
tious and treasonable words. Hajor.KßY, it is but just
to say, whatever may have been the offence for which
he has been dismissed, bore a fair character as an officer,
and his loyalty was never previously suspected. He
was not, however, all officer of General ifALLEOK'S own
selection, but had beenassigned to him. He was thus
attached to the staff without the personal - acquaintance
or confidence of General ilLit.Lece. He has been con
stantly employed in detached staff duties, suohae local
provost marshal for towns and cities, Supervising agent
at different points, etc. He has never been employed in
any confidential °amity at headquarters -which would
give him access to information Mit could by any possi
bility be of service to the eneiny. Not; howeveri because
of any question of his loyalty bed been raised, but be
cause Gen. Hamatce had no personal knowledge of him
such as would induce the confidence of important or se
cret information. Major KAY is from jildiana, but is

The Commissioner of Totem al Revenue has given the
following opinion In regard to the liability of railway
comparies to the payment of stamp duties. The item
marked 1, express," on page 89 . of the excise law, was
not intended to embrace the freight business of railroads
and ordinary wagoners, but is limited to persons who are
express carriers, and not merely common carriers under
the law. This distinction io)rery well ktiown inipraoticsi
business. The express carrier is usually . exPeoted to.
take the parcel, box, or bundle from the house or place
of business of the consignor; and deliver it to the beam
or place of baldness of the consignee, while a railway
company receive and deliver goods only• at its own
station. In the absence of entwine language in
the statute authorizing the broadest construe
tier], I roust hold the ", Persons' and companies en
gaged in transporting goods over the "country,iso such
business is molly parfonne'd by railivair corporations,
as not liable to the payment of a stamp.tax upon - the re
ceipts given for such goods lam also of opinion that
the first Item in the schedule does not include such re
ceipts for freight as are nonslip given by railway com
ponies. A receipt is, no doubt, in a technical sense, an
agreement or contract, but, in the ordinary use of lan
guage, this °lows construction doom not hold. Had Con
gress intended to include receipts, it would have been
easy to have so provided in plain language.

CIRCULAR.—Prom casualties in the field, and from ab
sentia by reason of sickness, many volunteer regiments
have not a suftleont number of officers to command
them. It ie important that vacancies caused by deaths
.and resignations be filled with the least possible delay.
The Governors of the severe! States are earnestly re
quested to fill these vacancies by promoting officers, non
commiseioned mfficers, and privates, who have distin
guished themselves in the field, or who have shown a
capacity for military command.
Without the hope a promotion there is no encourage
ment fora faithful performance of duty, and no stimulus
to deeds of valor. Moreover, the discipline and effictenoy
of an army depend, in a great mesenre, on the character
and qualifications of its officers. Without good officers,
the very best soldiers soon become a mere military mob,
the inefficiency of whit* bi increased by the increase of
its members, . H. W. HALLKOK.
The Battles of South - Mountain and An
tietam—Gen. McClellan's Official Re
port.
Wasnixormf, Sept. BO—The following report of the
victories of South Mountain and Antietam has been for
warded to the headquarters at the army by General
McClellan : •
NEAR eIfARPSBURG, Sept. 29-Ll.BB P. M.
Major Gen. Salida, General-in'thief U. S. A.
GENERAL : I hare the honor to report the following ON
some of the results of-the battles of South Mountain and
Antietam:
At South mountain our ion was—
Killed
Wounded 1,806
Mooing 76
Total 2,325
At &ntletam our loss was—
Killed 2,010
Wounded 9,416
Id be n g 1,043
Total 12 409
Loos In the two battles 14,704
The rebels, in the two battles, as near as can bi asc'er
tabled from the number of their dead found upon the
field, aid from other data, will not fall shext of the follow
ing estimate :
Major Davis, Assistant Inspector General, who imper
intends the burial of the dead, roporta about three
thoutaud rebels buried upon the field 9t Antietam, by our
troop). Neatens to thie, however, the rebel, had buried
many cf their own dead upon the distant portion of the
battle. field, which they occupied after the battle, proba
bly at least five hundred.
The toes of the rebels at Booth . Mountain cannot be
ascertained with accuracy; .but as our troops continually
drove them, from the commencement of the action, and
as a much greater number of their dead were seen on the
field than of our own men, it le not unreasonable to IMP-
Nee that their loss was greater than ours. Betimating
their killed at 600, the total rebel killed, in the two bat-
Hee, would be 4,000. According to the ratio of our own
killed and wounded, thie would make their loss in wound•
ed 18,742. •
As nearly as can be ascertained at this time, the nIIM.
ber of prisoners taken by our troops In the two battles,
will, at the lowest estimate, amount to 5,000. The full
returns will, no doubt, show a larger number. Of these,
about 1,200 are wounded.
This gives the rebel looslltd, wounded, and pri
soners, 26,542. It will be observed that this does net in
clude their stragglers, the number of whom is said by
citizens here to be large. -
It may be safely concluded, therefore, that the rebel
army lost at leaat 20,000 of their beet troops during their
campaign in Maryland.
From the time our troops first encountered the enemy
in Maryland until he was driven back into Virginia, we
captured 13 grins, 7 caissons, 9 limbers, 39 colon, and 1
signal flag.
We have not lost a single gun or color. Oa the battle
field of Antietam' 14,040 email arms were oolleeted, be
sides the large number carried off by citizens and those
distributed on the grounds to the recruits and other nn
armed men arriving immediately after the battle.
At South rdonntsin no collection of email arms wee
made, owing to the beide of the purenit from that point?

HOW CHARLESTON AND FORT SUMPTER LOOK
[Special aorreipondence et The Pr,eea.]
Poar TAL, Sept, 26
ARRIVAL OF HEN. MITCHELL.
Major General Ormsby_ McKnight Mitchell arrived at
Port Royal on the 20th instant, and assumed eommand of
the new department from which Gen, Hunter had been
relieved. Ho wee warmly received by the troops, who
seemed greatly pleated at. the change of commandere.
The gallant Mitchell'' had become a household word
with them. He made an eloquent epeech on taking com
mand, during the dellvary of which he was warmly ap
plauded.
A few days after his arrival, General Alitchell visited
Fort Pulaski, and inspected the works, expressing entire
eatiafaction with the condition of affairs there.
TEE LATE AFFAIRS ON ST. JOHN'S HIVER.
The rebels having erected a battery. on a high bluff on
13t. John's river, the' gunboats Unoas and •Paul Jones
have been continually shelling them out, but without any
definite result as yet. •
THE 'NASH VI L LE.
I learn that tho Nashville is at present penned up by
three gunbOata at the' Railroad wharf on _the Great
Okee die° river. Therefs no porelble chance for her to
escape, one of the gunboats being stationed at HeltGate,
another - at Buzzard's island, and another in the centre
of the river channel.
CAPTURE OP THE ; cniEr orriczs: OF THE HYSH-
VILLE Arrn KATE
John N. FINIBOI3, late chief officer of .the steamer
Nashville, and more recently of the Kate, has been es,p
tared at hut on a pilot boot, wkile attempting to run the
blockade. Be will be eentNorth to. day by the Keystone
State, which vessel will also. take out Admiral Dupont
and Commodore Rogers, who go directly to Washington
tor.sPecial instructions relative to the management of the
fleet now greatly increasing in our Gulf, stationS.
I have bad a conversation with Suellen, and he states
that he had command of the Nashville, and ran the block
ade with her several times. She only carries one gun on
her forecastle, and generally a crew of from thirty-live to
forty men. Captain Gooding, a merchant seaman, has
oominand of tlinNashville, and is daily watching for an
opportunity to escape with • her. Susson, previous Whig
capture, left Oareba, on the Georgia coast, in commando!
the Hate, having been transferred from the Nashville, Mr
the 24th of last July, and went to . Nassau, N. P. Reran
out at high noon, in the sight of three blockading ves
sels. On reacbirg Nassau he abandoned the Kate, - and
taking commend of a pilot boat, attempted to run into
Charleston, when be and his party were captured.. They
were taken to Pert Boyal as prisoners of war.
REBEL RAMS BUILDING.
Tte rebel ram, Fingal, building at Savannah, will
soon be cempleted, and when her iron-plating is finished
she will be folly equal in Point of strength to the Merri
mac. She-wee 'an English iron . steamer, sad' ran the
blockade early lest spring, and on this account is -mach
stronger than ordinary vessels, being iron-braced in every
part. She was built at Greenock, in England.
Thu rebels have cut this vessel down, razeeing her
same eight feet, and widening her by the introduction of
eight feet of white oak on either side, bolted on, and the
iron plating is bolted and' riveted to this. The whole
vessel is roofed over with iron, on the seine principle as
that evident in the c nstructinn of the Merrimao.
She •le 'provided with eight-hundred-horse-power,
double•oecillating engines, and will be a troublesome
coetomer, if she is over allowed to get out from the
Savannah river.
'The ram Georgia, also building at Savannah, and the
Palmetto State,.commonly .called the Ladles' Gunboat,
and a third (name nuknown) building at Charleston ' , wilt
probably prove failures. The reason why one of these
gunboats has the cognomen of the Ladies; Gunboat is,
that ithis been built chiefly from small contributiinur by
the Southern ladies. The rebels report that these gun
boats were of little account all along, but It must be re.
membered that they cried "failure" up to the very day
that Buchanan brought the invulnerable Merrimac out
into the Hampton Roads, and spread cenaternation over
the whole country. •

Everobcdy seems to think that Charleston will balloon

learn that our troops bad appeared in foroo on Broad

ccuese I know nothingisublicty of anything that is gollig
on in the planning way*. I may express the opinion of
all here by paying that the flag will aeon again wave
'over Sumpter'■ battlements, without causing any detri
ment even to the most delicate ;Government interest.
SUFFERING IN 'Mg 8017T11
• 'Tile retiiCs in Charleston and throughout the South are

The principal salt works of the rebels are at Balee

and the rebels are in a perfect amazement to know hoviit
is that our fleet does so little with so much to do and so
easily done.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT 'NEWS
TEE BLOCKADING FLEET
We have quite a fleet collecting here, and are anxious

and all eorte of " rams," and when all is ready we are
going to take Fort Morgan and Mobilo, it is said. To

Neneged by Admiral Farragut.
DISCRIFTION OF FORT RORGiN.
Fort Morgan, the main defence of Mobile, is jadicidne•
ly situated on the right bank of the channel, and mounts
about one hundred guns. The main channel near 'the
fort is seventeen fathoms deep, and will admit of the
passage of the largest vessels.

THE PENSACOLA. NAVY YARD
It is my intention to say a few words concerning the
Pensacola navy yard, and, to me a common expression,
all that is left of it yon might put in your pocket. The
yard in times of its irosperity was one of the finest our
Government Inuateesed. It was seldom sought after ex
cept by SOUthern officers; of the navy, affording them a
home and accommodation in their own Sunny South."
The officers' quarters, a fine strong substantial row of
buildings, have fallen , to ruins by the hands of those men
for whom the United States Government Intended them
for a home, and thus the traitorous scoundrels have
treated that father who has always been a proteotion and
safeguard to them from the time they placed - themselves
under hie care. In a conversation with an old inhabi
tant of Pensacola, he told me that the fate of Pensacola
navy yard had been decided some months before the
actual event came off. That is, in every house
the furniture had been piled up, and yeah,
and chipped pine wood placed in the corners, with a
match in readiness for their destruction. The fine roads
have all been torn np. The armory and chapel, two
circular buildings, are all that are left of the once magnlfi
°ant navy yard of the cotton States, and these have been
paid a visit from Fort Pickens by two 11-inch abolls de
scending through the dome to the basement, which took
place during the bombardment. The yard is surround
ed by high - walle ; a number of strong gates command the
entrance; the centre leads into the town of Warrington,
once occupied by negroos and washerwomen of the offi
cers of the yard and of vessels coming into the harbor. -
• • TRE SPIRIT RATION.
The Unitcd States Congress made a great mistake in
abolishing the spirit ration in the navy. lam told that
It will have the effect to drive out all of the old seamen
from the service. lam sure I do not go beyond the
truth in saying this. There is nothing that yield; so

COL. DILLY WILSON'S ZOUAVES.
Col. Billy Wilson's famous regiment of New York
Zouaves have been quartered here for the last fourteen
months; during which time they have been surely in the
quiet enjoyttent of every luxury that this part of the
country could afford. The mon of this regiment have
grown famous in the "foraging" way. 'I hey have2no
scruples in appropriating to their own two everything
that they can lay their hands on, that has ever been, or
now, the property of Secessioniste. They spent a con
siderable limo in Fort Pickens, forming a part of the
garrison, and attaining the efficiency of the regular
troops. They have been changed in a moat surprising
manner, from New York flro boys and freebooters into
excellent soldiers.
REBEL RESIDENCES
The residence of Diajor Chase is occupied at present
by General Arnold as hls headquarters, and that of Eg.
Senator Mallon by tbe r fkinone Billy Wilson. While

Colonel Wilson was sitting'on the front porch. I gavo
him a 4, good evening," andlie returned the compliment
with the military grace of a commander-in-chief, and the
coolness of the oldestinhabitant."
THE EXPECTED ATTACK ON NEW ORLEANS. ,
News arrived here some time since of an anticipated
attack on the city Of New Orleans by the rebels, and
all of the troops. were ordered to hold themselves In
readiness to proceed to that Quarter, and among them the
Zonaves. The poor fellows seemed overjoyed to think
that at last the Government was going to give them
something to do in the way of fighting. They left for
the Crescent City in the steamer Ocean Queen, and as
the noble vessel paned the various men of. war lying in
the harbor hero, theyigave nine oheers for the gallant
Yankee tare. The guns of Fort Pickens thundered forth
a final salute as the steamer passed safely over the bar
with its cargo or humanity.

On the 4th instant a large steamer was seen by our

and steamed steadily beyond our lines, heading in for
Fort Morgan, but apparently acting as if-a cogerenoe

shot was then sent at her, which only caused her to pile
on more Steam, and, unfortunately, she crossed the bar
safely, hauledziown the English flari, and in its place up
went the flag of the Bonthern Confederacy.
The steamer is iron•clad, carries eight large broadside
guns and two large rifled pivots; etre is also represented
to have an iron prow. In all respects, I should take her

throughout the entire squadron. There were only three

with the intelligence to Admiral Farragut, at Pensacola.

EXECUTIVE ORDER.
STATE OF MARYLAND, REIM:MYR DEPARTMENT,
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 29;1862
The expulsion of the rebel army from the soil of Mary
land should rot be suffered to pass without the proper ac
knowledgment, and cordial thanks, of her authorities, to
those vho were chiefly instrumental in compelling that
evacuation. I would tender, therefore, on behalf of the
State of Maryland, to Meier General McMellen, and the
gallant officers and men under his cemmand, my earnest
and hearty thanks for the distinguished courage, skill, and •
gallantry-with which that achievement was accomplished.
It reflects a lustre upon the ability of the commander
in -chief, and :the heroism and endurance of his fol
lowers, that the country 'everywhere recognizes, and that
even our enemies are constrained to acknowledge.
To Govetnor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, and the militia
of his State, who reined with such alacrity at the first
symptoms of an invasion, our warmest thanks are also
due. The readiness with which they crossed the border
and took their stand beside the Maryland brigade, shows
that the border fe in all respects bat an ideal line, and
that in such a cause as now unites us Pennsylvania and
Maryland are but one.
I cannot forbear to notice in this • connection' the con
duct of cur own regiments that took part in the recent
battles. All reports concur in representing their gal

Bia : I wish very much to enter the United State.;
Navy, but do not know how to go about It. I know no
thing about seamanship, and would like to know whether
they take Emoh persona. 8 B. A. '
The only way to enter the United St-des wavy 13 by
visiting one of the naval rendezvous in a large city, or
considerable town, and imitating for that service. If,
upon examination, you appear capable of performing the
duties of a seaman you will be at once accepted, uni
formed, and placed on board of the receiving ship at the
navy yard here for instruction. Landsmen (those who
know nothing of seamanship), are not wanted et present.
Active seamen and supple boys aro always useful, and
in demand.—En. Pans.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle
•Thlo zooming, while travelling in Fulton street, on
any way to 'New York, I met a gentleman whom I was
afterwards Informed was Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. I
asked bim if he Was desirous of enlisting now '
and if he
'would enroll himself under the banner which I held in
my-band (the Stais'and Shiva)?
stated I was recruiting_ sergeant for Corcoran's Irish
Legion,
and wanted a few more ablo-bodied men like
himself. Re roll; el, I. No ; you ought to. know, sir, I
do not want to enlist. You are a scoundrel for asking
me to do so!" thereby insulting the flag, I bore and dis
countenancing enlistments. , Now, Par. Editor, is not
this language of Mr. IlteCher both unbecoming a preacher
of the Gospel as well as at American citizen 1 and is it not
entirely inconsistent with the views of every patriot, which
this gentleman has always professed to be 7, I consider it
to be the duty of the Government to have Rev. Mr.
Beecher closely watched, as his condtict today appears
very empiclous.

COLONIZATION MEETING AT NATIONAL,
lIALL.—A. notable anomaly in the history of these
United States took place last evening at the aboye well
known locality. An unpretending - colored hotel-waiter,
from South Oarollna;lately a *slave, 'Without educational
advantages, addressed a large assemblage of ladles end"
gentlemen of the moat well-bred_and intellectual class of
this city, and was beard with high respect, close atten
tion, and repeated - applause. The speaker WO9 Robert
Small, whose boldness. and. .origloality conducted the
steamer Planter from Vbarleatoe harbor safely to the
protection of national vessels, and 'thereby won freedom
for himself and enslaved companiona.
The meeting took place partly for the introduction to
the public of %Robert Small; but chiefly to present state
ments of the success attending the colonization of con
traband blacks in South Carolina. Bev. Mr. French,
who has bten closely connected with the project In that
State under the auspices of Gen: Hunter and Gen. Sax
ton, was present, together with Boy. S. Tyng, of New
York; Mr. J Miller McKim, secretary of the Pennsyl
vania Ant- slavery Society, and other gentlemen connected
with the cause of emancipation.
hey. Mr. French, in a series of remarks, stated that
when the atavee upon the sea islands of South Carolina,
who had either been abandoned by their masters or es
caped from them, understood that they would be paid
wages for their labor, readily went to work, and in addi
tion to their daily tasks, often performed three times their
amount upon patches of land exclusively appropriated to
themeelies, the profits from which were their own. All
this was without the use of either the whip, the prisen,
or abort rations. Their disposition to work has been
entirely proved.
Much has been dons to improve the social condition of
the contrabands. After their escape, families were much
broken up. Husbands, wives, and children lost each
other, bat after a search, many were reunited. The
missionaries associated with Mr. trench introduced ha
bits of additional civilization among them. Windows were
inserted in their rude cabin., whitewash brushes were
procured, et) also .tables, looking gleam, wash-stands,
soap, towels, sheets. eke,.., and augmented self respect thus
created. The children, and same of the adults, had
never bolero seen themsolvei in mirrors, and the de
light, especially of the former, was amusing. Previous
ly meals had been eaten on .the floor, or on stools, but
now many have acquired the habit of Bitting at tables,
and in some oases the father of a family delivers
himself of a devout grace. The blacks are mnob
surprised and pleased at the idea that they can, if sw
eeten' in earning money, live as handsomely as their
late masters, and that the United States will secure all
their gains against the touch of their former owners.
Many are perVaded with a strong ambition to accumu
late fortunes.
Robert Smell was also introduced, and was received
with loud cheers and the clapping of hand B. He was a
well dressed and intelligent looking man of thirty• five,
of dark Mulatto, complexion. He commenced thus '
speak
ing good English, and in a free, unembarrassed style:
Ladies and gentlemen, I have been requested to speak to
you tonight, but em quite unaccustomed to speak
ing in public. I will state that I have lived in
Charleston since 1861, and have been a wailer in ho
tels, and a worker on docks. I was hired on the Planter
as a'deck hand, and after serving a month was employed
at the wheel, I then learned the #oundings and condi
tions of the coasts. I thought a number of times that
there was a chance to get away, and that I had better
go ; but I had left my wife in Charleston, and though
the rebels thought colored people had no' feeling, I lOved
my wife and children ' and preferred remaining a slave to
being separated from them.
Email then circnmatantlally detailed his mode of escape,
with his family andseveral colored friends, which showed
great ingenuity, and which our crowded columns will not
allow us to relate. He was repeatedly applauded, and
often excited laughter, especially where he spoke of
paseing Fort Johnson with the captain's straw hat well
on one side to hide his face from the sentinels.
Dr. Tyr% and other gentlemen eloquently followed;
but we regret that space will not 'allow a report of their
excellent speeches.
MEETING OF THE FRIENDS OF GEN.
SIOEL.—A. meeting of the friends of General Franz
Siegel was, held last evening, at the Military Hall, Third
street, below Green. The assemblage, almost exclusively
composed of Germans, and very respectable in point of
numbers, were perfectly unanimous in approbation of
the career of their distinguished friend and fellow co ntry
rr ar. At the hear appointed, the proceedings were inau
gurated by the selection of Mr. Frederick Stasko as pre
sident, assisted by Messrs. Jacob Miller and Dr. Tieder
man, as vice presidents, and Mr. Philip Holub sch as secre
tary.
Speeches were delivered by Messrs. Siegman, Dittman,
Miller, and Schloimper, of the 29th New York Regiment,
w.ho was recently paroled' by the rebels. The addressee
were mainly eulogistic of the military ability of General
Sigel, as demonstrated in his services on the'field. Com
parisons were drawn between the various capacities of
our leading generals, the general conclusion fsyorlng the
renowned hero of Southern Missouri, Arkansas, and
Virginia—the victor of many battle• fields and tried and
true patriot—General Franz Sigel. The tollowing pream
ble and restitutions, reported by , a committee appointed
at a Previous meeting, were read and unanimously
adopted
I,;•.ll 7 hereas, The great sacrifices which the loyal people
of the Pelted States have chef), folly made to maintain
the laws, and to bring to an end this unholy civil war,
without having as yet a fevoroble result; and whereas,
no better result is likely to be expected in the future, un
less the most decisive energy and the wisest circumspec
tion be used, irrespective of civility in the selection of
military leaders; and whereas one of our best generals
(Franz Sigel), who has shown his love of freedom,
hie distinguished. military ability, ea well in Eu
rope as iu the ,battle-fields of Mistouri, Arkansas,
and Yirginiti4o2. enjoys the full confidence of the
army and theppiimfe—has heretofore been assigned a
position whictirendered it impossible for him to properly
apply his great talents and knowledge for the welfare of
the Union, and that of late he has ever been almost com
pelled to remain comparatively idle; and that the troops
which, by authority of the-War Department, were raised
for his command, have not been given him: therefore,
Resolved. That in the name of a nation bleeding from
a thousand wrunde, which has sacrificed her bravest sons
in a courageously fought, but restatiees battle; the hard
earned fruit, of a seventeen menthe' campaign being
taken out of their hands; we demand of the Government
to give that man a proper field of action who has proved
himself, both In the Bast and West, the best military
leader.
Resolved, That it flail be our energetic effort to raise
to their full number, as soon as possible, the regiments
now commanded by Oen. Sigel.
Resolved,. That the Recruiting Committee, appointed
at a previous meeting, held on the 25th inst., be declared
permanent.
Resolved, That all friends of the Union, in every
State, who have its perpetuation and prosperity at heart,
are earnestly requested to co-operate _with us. . . .
The above - resolutions were read by Mr. Ideinbach,
and on motion of ?dr Jacob Hiller, it was further re
joiced that a committee shoild be appointed to prOceed to
aehington to lay them before the President, and sheik)
communicate their, purport to Gen. Sigel. The commit
tee was further instructed to inquire Into the partictilara
of the reported intended resignation ..ot Gen. ingot Ana
in view or ench-a contingency, determine whether en
listments for the regiments under his command should
°or* inns,
The meeting adjourned at a late hour, to meet again at
a time to , be epecitied by the officers when the report of
the committee to proceed to Washington will be con
_
eidered and acted on..
CITY COUNCILS AND THE REFRESH
MENT SALOONS.—Last evening the comtnitteo of City
Councils appointed to tender, on behalf of the city,
thanks to the managers of the refreshment -saloons for
their hospitable treatment of the soldiers passing through
tee city, proceeded on their errand. They presented to
each saloon the -preamble and , resolutions adopted by
Councils, handsomely engrossed on parchment, and en
cased in a large gilt frame. The committee reached the
place about sight o'clock, having left in carriages from
the clock's dike. The presentation ceremony was of an
interesting character, and took place in the presence of a
large number cif persians, many ladies included. They
first repaired to the Cooper-shop Saloon, whore Air.
Megary, chairman of the committee, presented the
testimonial in a neat speech, in the course of which
be said that the Conceits of Philadelphia, no less than
oar citizens, had taken a deep interest in the welfare of
these noble institutions. They bad heard with patriotic
pride that 12 4 ,000'soldiers .had been handsomely enter
tained here as they pawed Southward to sustain the
honor of our glorious flag. Councils, always feeling an
interest in everything which adds to the fair fame of our
noble city, had authorized a committee to come here to
night, and in their behalf to present a slight recognition
of the services rendered to the Union cause by these re
freshment saloons. The memento which they presented
would in a future day remind the 'patriotic and the brave
that here, in this quiet and peaceful city of Brotherly-
Love, there was an institution which lent a powerful aid
to the cause for which our gallant countrymen are con
tending on the battle field. Here no ambition but pa
triotism ruled, no party but country, no contention, but
a-united desire to further a common c ease. This memorial
is simple, but it speaks the language of truth—the lan.
gunge of the patriotism which animates the Councils of
Philadelphia, and as such he hoped it would be accepted.
Mr. Cooper briefly thanked the committee, and assured
them that the gift would be placed among the: most
Cherished documents of the institution.
The committee then presented a similar testimonial to
the Union Befreehment Saloon, Mr Berger maktog the
presentation speech. Bev. Abel C. Thomas replied on
behalf of the saloon.
The committee were then escorted around both institu
tions, and were shown the Modest operandi of both places.
A handsome collation Wlll prepared for their reception,
and a genial time afterwards prevailed.
ATTACK ON A COLORED SOLDIER.—
Prince Rivera, an orderly sergeant in the Ist Regiment
South Carolina Colored' Volunteers, who lately-accom
panied General Bunter from Port Royal, was insultingly
addressed yesterday, inrifth street, near Arch, by hairs
dozen newly recruited white soldiers. They averred that
they were soldiers of McClellan, and did not allow " nig.
gore 't. to wear uniforms. They thereupon , ordered
Rivera to . take the stripes fram the arm of ids coat,
or they would do It for him. Rivers steigted-ante
William Stille's stove store near by, and insinuated
that if they touched him, he would break their
heads with his stick, and thus kept theta at bay
till police (Ewers arrived and disperoed his assailants.
A cVD§iileruble ,crowd had collected during the scene.
Theists is aline and soldierly-looking man, of great, in.
.!vetriena -to, Port. Rol al
reurgenee, nth- _
his place in the regiment, which was recently furloughed
by General Hunter fcx several weeks, till Government
decided to receive and pay there as members of the Uni
ted States army. This has now been done, the regiment
has returned to duty, and moreover the enlistment of a
colored brigade of flee thousand men has been ordered,
which is fast fiilie g up.
Rivers states that of the Ist Regiment South Carolina
-.Colored Volunteers one company has had a skirmish
With the rebels near, St: Simon's, in Ilorida, and after
an exchange of twelve rounds caused them to flee.
The following , hes been shown us as the certificate of
Gen. Hunter upon the 'character of Sergeant ni VATS
The, bearer, Pzince Rivers, has been a sergeant in the
let Begiment of South Carolina Volunteers, is a first
rate soldier, and a reliable man."
Now that colored men are fairly members of the U.
S. army, it may be as well to: remark that the early
Zonave regiments of the French army were black. and
that the Tomos, composing some of the best fighting re
giments in that serviceore also Africans. The African
race are also, largely employed as soldiers in the English
army stationed in the West Indies.

Three gentlemen were lately seen
Down Chestnut street to make their wg ,
And all admired their noble men,
And excellence 0! their array.
