Edward Everett's Reply to an Eng ilsh
Lord.
BY POET lOAL PU.IP.
What have we in America !
We've wonders groat and grand;
We have the essence of the earth,
The cream of every land.
Our mountains are Magnificent,
Our rivers are iumense,
And each man has a kingly style,
If not a king's expense.
Our ships are known to all the world ;
The farms cannot be beat;
Our cities, full of luxury,
Are famous for the nest.
We've orators and authors, too,
With intellects of force;
We've railroads scattered everywhere;
And one Professor Norse.
Our girls have beauty, wit, and grace,
They're charming. sweet, and tall ;
But then the greatest thing we have
Is known as famed Oak Hall,
Where the fell and winter stock of first-class Clothing
is now ready in extra abundance and greatest variety.
All the new style Overcoats, Backe, liminess Coats,. Peg
top Pants, &c , selling at prices so low that everybody
will bny and be satisfied.

ACCIDENT ON THE ..PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL.
I learn that on Tuesday night when the express train
which left Pittsburg at 5 o'clock on that afternoon was
about twenty rullerl'out, the locomotive blew out one of
her boiler fines, scalding the engineer and fireman badly,
and causirg a det ention
, of same hours, during which
time teenier enginp arrived from Pittsburg, and the
train went on for some distance, when it ran over
several cows and a - passenger car - was thrown off the
track, causing a further considerable delay, but resulting
inns serious ivjury cp ally of the passengers.
On Tuesday afternocn, as a heavy freight train eon•
taming Government etnree Wwl crossing the iron bridge
over the Little GuripoWder, Pali, near Parkton Ststion,
that structure gave way, precipitating the train into the
creek. The lt.comotivennd tender became detached from
the train in the fall, and were saved without any loss of
life. In:consequence of the unpopularity of the road,
this accident has beenmade the theme of a great deal of
abuee, and the citizens;along the line are rather loud in
their denunciations of what they *all the wig -wag
line."
Binh accidents are not . surprising to the "knowing
Ones." They are aware tbat the road is crowded with
Government work far beyond its, capacity, and pasiengers
are crammed into filthy cars like herrings, ladies, and all
together, in such a manner that many cannot obtain
seats except in the laps of others, who are forbearing
enough to permit them to occupy their knees. In cmse.
quence of this many risk their lives on the platforms,
and are roughly ordered to get inside, ever and anon, by
the overt Asked conductor. ,
Yesterday at noon an ",express and passenger train,"
Overloaded in every , part with men and women, with two ,
oar loafis of 'soldiers, left Harrisburg. Every one on
board understood that Baltimore, by 6 o'clock at the
furthest,-would be the point;of destination. The passen
gers were left in perfict ignimance concerning the smash
ing.up of the bridge above alluded to. The news was
first given to them upon the'arrival of the train at Park
ton station, which is some thirty miks from Baltimore.
We were comforted, however; by the report that a tem
porary bridge over the creek was being constructed, and
would probably be finished during the night. Finally,
after Il lug at Parkton for more than three hours, hun
gry, tired, damp, and cold, we were told. that the bridge
was "fixed," and our engineer would venture across,
r o utine by a heavy train , of artillery which had come
up, from York.
At the first station beyond the bridge the conduotor of
"one' train was apprised by telegraph that "express,"
"mail," and "freight" trains were on the road down
From Baltimore, and to look out for them was an arduous
and unpleasant task.
It was ten o'clock, and as dark is pitch i but, fortunate
ly, all of the old ladies in thsktrain were sound asleep,

your correspondent complained notof all this, although
other passerusers did. He was picturing in his mind the
Cutlines of a terrible accident, and wondering if he could
get to Baltimore. in time to telegraph the news for next
morning's Press. I never, even on the eve of a battle,
felt more excited and sanguine in the hope of obtaining 'a
long special than I did upon that train last night. A
man vrtia sent ahead of the train to look out for the train,
and signal our engineer should any approach. Thus we

until We reached a siding, where we lay, and were 'soon

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
[Special Oorreepoidende of The Prete ]
WASHINGTON, October 16, 1862.
THE GOVERNMENT HORSE CORRAL.
There are few people in Washington, and still fewer
outside, who know of the groat amount of business done
here in the buying of Government horses. Away be
yond the President's House, and south of the enclosure
devoted. to Washington's equestrian statue, known as
gi the Circle," and adjoining the Observatory grounds, in
the First ward of the city, Is an Immense series of shops,
yards, and stables called the "Government Horse Cor
ral." Here that business is transacted, and the concern
has grown from small beginnings until now it is one of
the great Government industrial works of incalculable
benefit to the country.
At this place all the army horses and mules are bought
and inspected ; •slck and worn. out animals put in hoopl
a' ; wagons repaired and teams fuddled the army and
the commissaries who send supplies to it; and everything
done necessary to furnishing adequate quartermaster's
sunigpo. The whole Is under the control of Colonel
Bucrer and Captain Dana, of the quartermaster's de
partment, though Mr. 0. H. Snow, the Superintendent,
is the man who keeps the machine in motion ; and Memo.
J. E. Allen and Gennon, his subordinates, superintend
the repair shops and wagon parks.
There are over eight thousand men employed in there
shops. and the coat of labor and material is nearly forty
thousand dollars a month. There have been as many as
19,000 horses and mules in the corrals at one time, and
the daily average 19 1&,000. Over 1,300 teams are kept
constantly .at work hauling supplies to the forts near
Washington, and to General McOlelLan's army.
t In wagons and harness the place does an immense
business. It keeps the entire army of the Potomac sup •
plied. Old wagons and harness are brought to the place
and repaired, being sent eut as good as new. A dilapi
dated teem coming to the corral is at once recruited.
The horses and mules are sent to hospital ; the harness
is repaired by the saddlers; the wagon is mended, the
wheels retired, new pins, bolts, and cover given it, and
the teamster leaves the corral with a complete outfit.
There are one hundred saddlers employed in repairing
harness, and, before Mr. Snow put this establishment In
operation, all the material on which these men work was
wasted. Three hundred carpenters and wagonmakere
are employed, and over six hundred nen p'y hemmer
and tongs in the blacksmith and horge•eboelog shops.
In repairs alone It is estimated that ten thousand dollars
is saved monthly ; 46,000 horse- shoes are made and pat
on in the rams length of time!
When a contractor brings a drove of horses or mules
i 'to the establishment, they are- brought to one of the
outer yards to be inspected, and each one passes undei
the experienced eye of one of the best judges of horse
flesh in the country. About one.half of each drove is
rejected, the contractors endeavoring to foist alt aorta of
stock ugon the GOvernment. The animals which are ac
'canted are ; then_ sent away to the shoeing shops, and
theitia' to the'siables, where they are divided into throe
herds—one containing those suitable for artillery, another
cavalry, and the third teams. From these herds they
are served out as the wants of the army demand them.
p The shoeing shops are the places of greatest interest.
In one long shed a hundred blacksmiths are hammering
away at horses. In another, the more tractable of the
mules are put through the process. Usually, however,
these latter animals are such awful kickers and plungers
that few men will attempt , to operate upon them. For
such unruly gentlemen, Hem& alien and Snow, after
long and patient investigation, have invented a process
which, for originality of genius and adaptability to the
freake of the mules, cannot be surpassed. An oblong
pen is built of the heaviest timber. A stout windlass is
at the .upper end, and from the top three broad straps
hang down. The machine le of great strength, and
very simply constructed. It takes a half. dozen men to
operate it, and a mule is 44 put through" in six minutes,
by the watch.
A contraband brings each mule , into the. yard, and a
head halter le the only harness upon him. As if by in
talon, the animal seems to know what is to hap
pen to him, and of course refuses to go into the pen.
To remedy this, a rope from the windlass is fastened to
the halter and a man winds it up, drawing the struggling.
mule into the machine. Being once in, two of the straps
which bang from above are passed under his body, and
the third across his breast, and another man, by a cap
stan arrangement, winds them up, and thus raises the
mule from the ground. This, of course, is accompanied
with another , series 01 kicks and lurches, by the aid of
which a slip noose is fastened en each leg, and the mule,
when he fedoras the performance, finds each foot securely
fastened under a"curved iron bar, and his head chained
down. Four blacksmiths, one at each foot, go to work,
and the shoes are on.'its lees time than it takes to de
scribe it.
Few can imagine the terrific struggling of thee' mules.
They plunge forward and backward, rock sideways, lurch
and kick—but this machine secures them in every direc
tion. If the animal rushes forward the strap acre's hie
breast supenly Stops his career in ; if he jerk'
backward the rope from the windlass almost pulls hie
heed off. Rocking sideways is only at the imps oe of his
own ribs ) which beat a tattoo against the dent tioNrei
of the pen. fle cannot rear up. for his head In chained
dean, and each foot being 'securely clamped kicking in
out or the question. Thus the animal's every effort to
balked, and after an aboitive trial of all the kicks and
jerks known to the community of mules, he gives up the
frnitiets contest; and down on his knees with drooping
head, submits to the four sturdy blacksmiths who are
pounding away at his hoofs.
When'the work le done the clamps are unfastened, the
strap let down, the windlass unwound, and the con•.
altered mule backs out of the pen, convinced that ropes,
leather, and human flesh, 'when properly applied, can
master him. There are six of those machines is use at
the Oorral, and they are so arranged that the animals
cannot hurt themselves.
The wagon business of ,the Corral is its greatest one.
1,300 teams are kept constantly running with supplies
for the army. These, when parked, cover a hundred
acres of ground, and if placed in a continuous line, would
stretch over eighteen miles. They are operated with the
worn-out horses and mules, all the g god ones being ship
ped off to Gen McClellan's army. The operatives of this
establishment are forming themselves into a corps for
city ,defence. The 6 s Government Morse Corral' is one
of the wonders ef. Washington. J. O.

Our regiment is progressing rapidly in drill and the
acquisition of military knowledge, and will undoubted
ly be one of the very finest regiments in this or any other
service. Every officer, both regular and volunteer, who
has seen us compliments us highly for our soldierly an'
pearance, and the facility with which we become ac
quainted with regimental and company movements. The
vocal and instrumental talentof our camp gave a concert
at Itheem'e Hall, in Carlisle, t night, for the banefitof
the sick and wounded eoldiers. It was a decided success,
both pecuniarily and themannerln. which the performers
acquitted themselves. I enclose you a programme of the
evening's entertainment. The band purpose giving
'another performance, some evening next week, for the
same noble cause. Our reeiment has now Several corn
mlesloned officers, and our camp is now kept under strict
military discipline. lifsior Ward, who is in command
of the camp, is a very yOting FM, and every inch a sol
dier. He has the unbounded confidence of every man
under his command, end so he should. He displays, in
the highest degree, the traits of character essential to a
good and brave officer. We also have two Philadelphia
captains in camp—viz : Alfred Vezin and Norman hi.
smith, who have, by the ability displayed by them and
their gentlemanly bearing to us privates, won the resent

ONE MILE BOOTH OF I:3IILIILESTOWN,
Thursday, Oct. 16-4 P. Al.
At sunrise this morning an armed reconnoissance,
under Brig. Gen. Hancock, commanding Bichardeon , e
division, left Bolivar Heights. Leas than two miles oat
we reached the potation of the rebel pickets, who fell
back without firing. One mile and a half from Charles
town our advance was checked by the rebel artillery, five
Pieces, mainly ten-pound Parrotts. The fighting began
soon after 7 o'clock The rebel guns were well served ;
but few of their shells exploded. Olark's Horse Battery,
4th United States Artillery, commanded by Capt. Dick
inson, was in onr advance, and immediately took position
and replied vigorously. Tompkins' 21 Rhode Island ,
Battery was also ordered forward on our right, and
im
mediately engaged. For two hours there was a lively
artillery duel.
About 10 o'clock the rebels ceased replying to our
guise; although their skirmishers, wore visible from our
batteries. half an hour afterward. At 11 o'clock our
column was ordered forward, and at noon it entered
Charlestown without opposition. There was a little firing
between the skirmisher!, with but little loss on either
side. Our casualties ale as follows: Richard Coughan,
wounded in the foot, amputated; James Conkle, hand;
Peter Campbell, head ; N. L. Carpenter, hip; Patrick
Ilibaw, band; Charles Stogmle, knee; Henry Elmer,
killed. All the above from Clark's battery. William
Lassiok, 33d Pennsylvania, side. Gen. McClellan reached
our linos during the afternoon.
Our forces have taken a position for the night jest
south of Charlestown. Thus far no rebel force, except
cavalry, has been detected on our front. The rebel ar
tillery has not been heard from since we drove it in this
morning.
The rebels report the loss of ex men from our artil
lery There were one hundred rebel wenn( ed from An
tietam, South Mountain, and Harper's Ferry, in the
Charlestown hospitals. None of the residents give us
any welcome except the negroes.
The main rebel army, with Lee, Longstreet, Jackson,
Hill, and Stuart, is five miles this side of Winchester.
Contrabands and deserters report it considerably rein
forced since the battle of Antietam. The railroad from
Barper's Ferry here is open. Our farces are also re
ported to have crossed the Potomac at Point of Rocks.
A MAIL ROBBER - DETECTED--THE REBELS m
FORCE AT WINCHESTER STILL.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune writes
from Bolivar Heights, October 14, thus :
A peculiarly sad case of crime came to light here last
evening. Gen. 0. 0. Howard, commanding the 2d di
vision in this corps, has had in his employ for sixteen
months a young man named John Tantish, whom be
brought from Maine with him when he was oolonel, and
whom he has kept with him ever since as orderly and pri
vate body-servant. Tantish has been entrusted with all
the ge tier Ws personal effecte, has slept in the same tent
with him, and has enjoyed his entire confidence. Aside
from his regularpay, Gen. Howard has paid his messbills,,
and given him money from time to time. The fellow,
owing to .the careless manner in which camp mail
matters are conducted, had access to the mails, both
tboee that went out and those that came In. Letters .
expected—known to have been sent—have been, for
some time past, frequently missed, while drafts and
checks sent home have never been received. Still,.
so kose have boon general mail arrangements where
the army was concerned, no suspicion of robbery was
entertained till yesterday afternoon a man was:seen by. a
private soldier opening and deetreying a number of
letters in one of the numerous ravines that abound hero.
The mail agent, being told 'of it immedistely.suspected
Tantleh,'becatisil . that very afternoon he (Tantish) had
offered to take him to a house of ill time, saying that he
had money enough to pay for both. The agent had seen
him quite busy about the mails, and rerscrtod the facts to
General Howard. The private who saw the letters do.
'greyed was celled in, and recognized Tantisti, who was
searched. Some $7O or $BO were found npon - hittrin
Treasury notes, hills, and postage stamps, and two ex
press receipts, showing that be bad 'recently sent home
nearly $2OO. He was, of course, at once put under arrest
to await his hist.
What greatly adds to the enormity of his crime is that
a great proportion of this money was undoubtedly taken
from the letters of poor soldiers, who were sending home
email sums of money to their families. Only two or
three letters were found upon him, but ono of these was
from a private in Captain Tompkins' Battery, and bad
been rifled of $5, which the writer enclosed to his sweet
heart or slater (there were only Christian names given in
the letter), and which, of course, will be quite a toes to
both sender and intended recipient Tat) envelope was
gone.• This letter was dated only the day before yester
day. .The first express receipt for money sent home Is
dated; some four weeks hack. It is believed that the
soldiers here world kill Tantleh if they coal get at him.

In the Senate on Saturday, the House bill to reduce
the rate of interest on the funded debt of the Confederate

of interest on the new issue of bonds at seven per cent.,
instead of six per cent. A proviso was also added re

The House subsequently concurred in the amendments
to both bills, so that they bre now in the form of enact

In the House of Representatives, the Senate bill to
punish and repress the importation of counterfeit trea

THE 'YELLOW FEVER.
The yellow fever has broken out in the South, at seve
ral points, with great virulence. When this war first
brObe out the southern newspapers and orators boasted
that if we captured any of their sea.coast cities, the yel
low fever and like contagious diseases would soon drive
us out of them. But we did capture them, and we have
yet to learn of any contagious disease breaking out, to
any considerable extent, in any plain we have occupied,
While on the other band many cities, still under rebel
nee, have suffered considerably in this respect. The
Dispatch has these two items in its columns:
'We learn from the Galveston .IYcios of tbe 15th of Sep-

FROM GENERAL BRA.GG'S ARMY.
A letter in the Augusta Constifutioncaist i dated
Bardstown, Kentucky, September 27th, says that 4, it la
no part of General Bragg's present plans to occupy
Louisville. At every move he has deceived, out- gene
rated, and outflanked Buell, wbo is now making his way
to Louisville." If Bragg's object in making the recent
demonstration against Louisville was simply to draw
Buell's forest thither, be has succeeded. His ulterior
object may be to fall back in the direction of Nashville,
and repent:as that place, but as yet his strategy is not ap
parent. The Yankees would have us believe that he is
closely pressed by their forces in the retrograde move
ment. A day or two will develop the real situation of
affairs in Kentucky. We understand that the late North
ern accounts from that State have not occasioned that
solicitude, in official circles, which pervades the halal°
mind.
- COL. JOHN FORSTTH.
The Yankee journals recently remarked that Colonel
Forsyth, 01 Mobile, had been killed in a skirmish, in
Kentucky. We are gratified to learn from a letter in
the Angneta Constitutionalist, dated Bardstown. Ken•
tricky, 27th ult., that Uolonel F., with other officers, had
arrived at General Bragg's headquarters. They were
captured by a scouting party of Yankees, while making
their way to the - army, but were paroled and sent within
our lines. The same correspondent says that " under an
order from Gen. Bragg, Col. Forsyth is making arrange

and information of the troops, and In the enlightenment

was not attended Without foes of life;
On Wednt aday last, the let instant, two companies of
the Ninth Connecticut Volunteers, under the command
of Captain Hennessy, embarked on transports for up the
river, on a foraging expedition after cattle, information
having been received of iirmanse herds from Texas
having been seen a little above Donaldsonville. On ar
riving at the point indicated, however, it was found that
the cattle had been already "lifted" by the crewe of the
gunboats Sciota. Rine°. and Itasca. It aeeme that the
officer in command of the seamen fell in with a large
drove at Keynes' place, a little below Waterloo landing,
and that on asking where the cattle were being driven to
he wee answered to New Orleans. Suspecting, however,
that the destination of the animals wee nearer to Camp
Moore—where the rebels are in force—than to this city,
the naval officer determined on taking them in charge
himself and bringitg them down here.
While this operation was in progress the military
artived, and materially aided in getting the calla on .
board. Th 3 troops landed on the morning of the 31, and
that night the cattle,
under the influence of a briglit
Inoenlight, wore on board, 1,245 in number. One thou
sand six hundred had been captured, and there were not
a sufficient number of vessels to bring them all off at
mace, in censequence of which several hundred had to be
left behind, with the intention of returning for them.
On Saturday - morning, the 4th inst., the transports,
convoyed by the three gunboats, moved down the river.
•On reaching a spot about three miles below Donaldson.
ville a rebel battery, placed behind the levee, opened fire
on the gunboats and transports. Embrasures had been
cut through the levee to admit the guns, which were six
in number -namely, four brass six-pounders, and two
twenty.ponnder Titles. The Solota, which had the lead,
was struck Mere' times, and I regret to say that First
Lieut. Swaney, a quiet and unassuming young man and
excellent office r , was killed, as was a seaman, named
John Bar.. Some of the transports were completely
riddled by the enemy's shot. The Saint Maurice had
three killed at once, and two hours after the faring ceased
the carpenter and a deck hand were found dead below.
At the same time two feet of water was discovered in the
bold of the Saint Maurice. The pilot of the Cyrus Bell
was shot dead at tie wheel. The General Williams had
ten men scalded to death by the cutting in two of a sup
ply pipe. The Iberville bad one of her engines disabled
by the enemy's shots. The very first shot from the enemy
—a twenty-pounder rifle—passed through and through
the Sciota.
Finding that the work was warm. Captain Lowry
turned the Sciota around, and in this way he met the
Bine° and Itasca, with which he returned to where the
battery was. Owing to the height of the levee at that
place the battery could not ho engaged with advantage at
short range. Consequently the gunboats had to drop
down the stream to some distance, where, taking ad•
vantage of a curve of the river, they commenced a
furious cannonade of the battery, taking it in flank ; but
no reply was elicited. The rebels, in pursuance of their
usual tactics in this region, after having done all the
niiacblef of which they were capable, cleared out.
