Maryland does not elect her members ot CongreßS until the first Wednesday ia November, 1863. She has In this Congress six members—five classed as Southern Union and one Democrat.

About a week ego we published a brief telegraphic ac count of General Blunt’s victory over the rebels, on the 22d?nlt., at Meysville, Arkansas. The Leavenworth Con servative furnishes some details. Maysville is almost directly west, and some twenty-three miles distant from : Bentonvilie, immediately on the boundary line between. Arkansas and the Indian Nation. It is Beven or eight 'miles south of tho northwest oomer of Arkansas! From there some four miles in a southwesterly dlreotion, over an open, beautiful prairie, the enemy were found at the edge of the woods, the site of an old United States milt, tary garrison long since abandoned. The Conservative Btys: ; .• Gen. Blunt had with him no other force but three companies of the Kansas 2d, that had happened to be in the. lead, and bis body guard of some 25 or SO men.' Soon tbe other companies of the 2d arrived upon the ground; the whole regiment numbering not to exceed ■POO: men all'told. They were dismounted to act asi'n fsntry, Gen. Bludldirecting the movement in person, and esconreged the men, promptly and efficiently seconded by Col Basett and all bis offices b. The regiment had witt it two little mountain howitzers, and the men were aimed with Harper’s Perry tilths, without bayonets. Bnboldened by the very small , number of our people present! the enemy brought out his artillery clear of the woods, and commenced blazing away at them industrious ly, fcnt a very few hundred yard* Intervening between the'two lines, and nojobstacle in the way. Of course, tbe cempiiment was returned promptly and with a will from, the two little howitzers,' and'thus the matter went on for some time. .... Finally, impatient of longer delay, the word was given for the gallant 2d to' advance (on, foot, of course,) which it did with a rush, Sting as it went straight up to the muzzles of the enemy's guns, driving his cinhonlers frt m them, seizing the fonr brass pieces and bringing them in triumph from the ground. Close at hand lay the furors o! the enemy; probably not less than 7,000 strong, concealed, mostly by;tbe .woods. The head of our own anxiohily-loohed for column, the 11th Kansas, the Bth Kart as, Babb’s .and the Kansas- batteries, Ac., were: still bsck'thne mites or mire towa-d Maysville; while the rear of the column—Weir’s regiment aod others—were farther back, perhaps eight or ten miles off. New orders were sent for the advance to come up rapidly, •wl ich it did accordingly— had been doing, in fact,’ail the -time since ills dawn of day. The 6th, he tided by the gal. hint Col. JudECD, came galloping over the four miles of prairie between Maysvilie and tbe point where the fight wee geing od ; - tbe horses of Babb’s battery under trot, and the men of tbe splebdidnew 11th- Regiment at dou ble quick, under the lead of Swing, Moonlight; and Plumb, until (hey were nearly exhausted, and made the distance in admirable time—Moonlight himself, by the way, on foot at tbe head of the men Arrived upon the ground, Babb’s battery was placed in position withthe customary promptitude ofits youth ;ful commander,'atid at once the six'tnnulhs of the fierce, spiteful pieces were heaid bathing-away at tbe foe, who had retired into the woods:—giving forth music that was truly inspiring. The 11th and the 6th were formtd into line of battle on the right of the poeilion occupied by the 2d, and dose up to the woods. Soon, tbe’lst and 2d In diana Regiments; GolerWattles and Phillips, arrived, and were placed upon the left, with orders from - Gsn. Blunt to sweep tbe woods in a wide'circle in that direction and find the enemy—-the 6tb and llth advancing slmulta. neonely onitbe right. Ail went ahead, and some efclr miehing ensued at different points, but no considerable force ef the enemy was overtaken Again they.bad fled. "What tbo casualties of yesfe'day’« affair have been is not yet known. Four of the Kansas 2!. slain in the at tack upon tie battery captured by it, were buried a few hours later in tbeopen prairie, ueder three or four email . quaking atp trees, a short distance north of the battle ground. Several others were more or less severely wounded—seme of tl era perhaps to die, and others to rtcover. ■■ ■ FROM GEN. ROSECRANS’ ARMY. En Boute for Tennessee—Discipline or the .

That’s about the case at this period. - Tiie Evacuation of Maryland Heights— Col. Ford Blameless. The Columbus .Capital. City Fact of the 4th irat. says: Much having been said about the evaluation of Maryland Heights by Col. T. H. Ford, commanding the 3d brigade, and stationed on the heights, it ought, ih justice to that officer, to be known that the testimony before the commission disclosed the .fact that, from the 6th day of September, the day on which Colonel Ford assumed command, until the 13th, when he evacuated, he insisted night and day that the attack on Harper’s Ferry would be made through" Bolomoa’s Gap, the only approach to the mountain, and that be also insisted upon the fortification of said gap as the only means oi defence against an overwhelming foe. Colonel Ford ordered Oapt Pott’s battery to that position; and insisted that it should remain there; and; notwithstanding said battery belonged to his own regiment- and brigade, it was peremptorily ordered, away.by a superior officer, in the face of the foe, leaving Colonel Ford without any de fence w batevef, except cavalry and infantry. On Thursday, the llthof September.'Oolouel Ford was attacked at Said Gap by two divisions of the enemy, the one under the command of General McLaws, the other Gen. Andoreon, numbering at least 22,000 men, with fif teen pieces of artillery, and notwithstanding he was shelled bnt of the. position .on that afternoon, and the enemy moved eight full raj intents on the creßt of the i mountain, he maintained his position until four o’clock on the,following Saturday, .when the enemy, in full view, were flanking him oh the right and left, with two full brigades, when, by the positive order of Colonel Miles, Colontl Ford teiraed the order to evacuate. Perhaps it would be well for the couotry to know that ; Colonel .Ford’s brigade only numbered 1,143, of which 37-5 were cavalry that could not be brought-into action, leaving him but 760 men for the field,-out of which 200 or 300 bad to be detailed for picket and guard duty, and at no rime was Colonel Ford able to bring more; than 450 men into action on the field. In addition to ad this, it la interesting to learn that the testimony before the .com mission discloteis the fact that Colonel Ford was ordered to.evacuate three several times: verbally, and at length, by written order, to leave before the order to retreat was . given. That Colonel Miles, his superior officer, ordered the retreat at eleven o’clock, and Colonel Ford objected most" positively- and peremptorily, affirming that, if he was reinforced, as he should be, he could and would hold the Heights against all the powers of the enemy. It also’ . turns up in. the-testimony that Colonel Miles was with Colonel Ford on Maryland Heights nearly all day on Saturday ; Colonel Ford in command, but Colonel Miles ordering and directing; and that Colonel Miles and Colo nel Ford crossed the.ponioon bridge together, at the time ,of the evacuation, as the column was retreating, and that on crossing the river they mot General White.

THE INSTRUCTIONS TO LORD LYONS. GrX.AnsSTOfSTE. EXPLAINS!- ABDICATION or KING OTHO, OF GREECE, Financial and Commercial Intelligence, The steamer Gladiator, from Bermuda, has taken to England sundry rumors in regard to the proceedings of Commodore WUkeß in the, West Indian waters, and the news caused'some excitement on ’Change in London and Liverpool. It was alleged that Commodore Wilkes, with his squadron, bad blockaded Bermuda, and refused to withdraw his ships at the request of the Governor. This report lacked confirmationand received but little credence, but nevertheless it had'its effect. The Amp and Navy Gazette says: “Admiral Wilkes, of Trent notoriety, having been ordered by the Federal Government to proceed to the vi cinity of the Bahama Islands, with a'view of cutting off all intended supplies for that quarter for the Confederates, the British authorities have very wisely, in the anticipa tion of any complication whloh’ might arise from the ex cess of energy, well known to exist ih Flag Officer Wilkes, ordered reinforcements to be despatched to the admiral in tbe West Indies. . : ** We believe that tbe Xmerald and Galatea are under 1 immediate orders to proceed to Bermuda; whence they will be sent to any quarter where Sir Alexander Milne may deem their presence necessary.’’: ' : The Bermuda Gazette of October 7th says: “‘We understand that Admiral Mifne, with a large' force, is expected here from Halifax' about the middle 'or end.of next month. We are, however,.disposed to think that recent occurrences srifi expedite the arrival of his squadron.” -.v;..,., j Tbe captain of the' Gladiator reports that having beard previously to bis departure that Commodore Wilkes intended ; the captnre of the Gladiator; he ob tHired the protection of the British steamer Desperate, which vessel accompanied him a certain distance from the port. The vessels had scarcely parted company when the - Gladiator was boarded by a boat’s crew and tbe captain was ordered to go on board and report him self. The Desperate being within gunshot, he declined to obey the order; and was allowed to proceed. The Desperate, seeing the Gladiator boarded, immediately ran out two guns ready for action : but nothing came Of it. . - - - ■ lord Lyons’ instructions. The correspondent of the Manchester Guardian of October 23, says : • , - ‘' I do not think that the question of recognizing the South was ever projected as a subject for practical con sideration at the Cabinet council appointed for to-day. There may indeed have been Borne desire on the part of certain ministers to make a suggestion that an armistice for six months ; might be concluded by'the belligerents, finch a suggestion would be, of course, made in the in ti rests of humanity, with the view of stopping the ter rible effusion of blood But, in addition to this, it was ; probably conceived that an armistice of six months might have the effect of bringing both patties to their senses, of making them regard more calmly and practi cally fhe new,situation created by the events of the past fifteen months, end indisposed to resume the bloody wort of war.; ' : “I have reason to believe, however, that this idea ef. suggesting an armistice it not regarded witkgreatfavor' in some very influential quarters. In the first place, the general disporition shown to ns by the Federal Go vernment does not warrant the expedation lhatit wouid be favorably received. It is even possible that an answer might be given eo intuiting as to place us iu au embar rassing position between -sitting still and bearing ft or committing omselvea to a war. In the next, an armis tice, without something beyond it. could nut be expected 1o do much goed. I have no doubt that Lord Lyons vdll go bad: not only without authority to take any serious step like the recognition of the Souths but with out encouragement to make any approach to a sugges tion re the Northern Government beyond what may be implied in;a general regret on the part of England at the prolongation of what her statesmen, as well as her people, have now pronounced to be a useless con test." ... Wilmer A Smith’s European Times of the 25th Octo ber gives the latest reports as follows: : “Greatimportance was attached to the meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday. Members from all parts of the country, and even from the continent, hurried to Boh-. don. All the ministers were in the metropolis: but the Premier, and he did riot think it' necessary: to leave his snug Quarters in Hampshire. In the ccu.'eeof. the morn ing nolice was sent to each Cabinet Minister that the •meeting was postponed, and conjecture;has been busy ever since to account for an act so unußual. According to one version a split exists on the American question, arising -"out of the conflicting views put forth by Mr. Gladstone and Sir G. O. Lewie; according to another and more probable surmise, there.: is perfect unanimity, and the dittrmination respecting affairs in America is to Iti events run their course “ In a matter of deep importance like.this, some previ ous'consideratiOD, before the Cabinet met, was no doubt deemed desirable, more especially as Lord Lyons was on the point of returning to Washington, but he it not , it now appears', to be the bearer of any definite policy on the part of the British Government. ,He knows exactly what the sentiments of its leading members are, an! 'those sentiments we presume, from the course which has been taken, are exactly these put forth by Sir George Oornewall Lewis', wbetberin opposition to Mr Gladstone, or with bis concurrence, matters not, so long a 3 there is rio outward or visible sign of disunion.” The Army and JGmiy. Gazette confirms these views, TtsaygT'"'” “It may be inferred the. Government is not inclined to depart from the, policy it. Has hltherto pnrsned in refe rence to the contest between the South. aiiAHorth—not, from the fact that the, Council did not. sit, but rrum the" expressions of the Ministers Individually and from the q x, ow f g find Mr. Gladstone, and the wntten elnoidauv™, .„f nj g meaning, which have been published by the latter—Entriorajr.jrons may neverthe less be able to represent to the American Government the views of the British Ministry as to certain cantingesicies, and to indicate changes of policy which may be forced on them by the advent of certain events. The Union as it was can never ho restored, bitt at the tame Hsae tha Hbrth must succeed in obtaining possession of ail the ma ritime cities amPof all strategic points, and will events*' ally overthrow the large Southern arraiesin the field,un less its arm be paralyzed by a financial cataclysm, or ar rested by internal political discord.” GLADSTONE'S EXPLANATION. [From the Manoheßter Guardian.] On the 15th October a letter was addressed to Mr- Giadstoneby a gentleman carrying on business, in this city, corajJaiDing that the language used by, the right honorable gentlc-man in, his speech at Newcastle-upon- Tyne, with reference to the American war, had misled not only himself, but the “ whole commercial communi ty of Manchester.” He has received the following re ply: , ■ 11 Downing Street, Whitsh ALty u : October 18, 1882. Sra: I am directed-by the Chancellor of the Exche quer to act nowledge your letter of the 16th, and to! state that be agrees with you as to the grave responsibility at taching to all public declarations made by any of the sid visers of the Crown. He holds himself fully responsible for having declared his opinion at Leith, nine months age, to the effect that, if the Southern States of America were in earnest, the struggle on the part of the Northern States was hopeless; and again at Newcastle, last week, to the effect that the Confederation which has been formed under Mr- Jefferson Davis has shown itself to be sufficiently supplied with the elements which make a nation, and with the will and power to defend its independent existence. Hecannot, however, be responsible for, the inferences which, from your letter, yon appear to have drawn from his state ment ; the more bo as they might, he thinks, have been checked by attention to other portionsof his declarations concerning America on .-the same occasion, in which he 7 referred to steps that might, under conceivable circa m stances, be taken by the Powers of Europe. And, gene rally, hd "desires me to remark ; that to form opinions upon questions, of policy, to annonnoe them to the world, ! and to take or be a party to faking any of the steps ne cessary forigiving them effect, are matters which, though connected together, are in themselves 'distinct,' and which may be separated by intervals of lime longer or shorter, according to thB pa» ticular circumstances ef the case.

Truthful, brave, honest, sincere, hospi’abie, they were the perfection, he said, of a happy and nncorrnpted race They had no laws and needed none. During tho two years he passsd among them be had never seen a qnarrel, and in many traits they were msdels for the imitation of more favored cemmnr ifies. The Captain referred with great emotion to the death, on the way out. of the Esquimaux guide and interpreter, who had been present at a meeting of the So ciety two years ami a half ago, and whoso he had taken .with him as a companion and mouth-piece am mg his own people But the poor fellow did not sur vive to rt ach his nattvo chore again. He expired at sea; and was consigned totbedeep, regretted by allinthesx prdition as an irreparable lohs The Captain, from this episode, fnrnsd to a most elaborate descristion of the vioinity of Frobisher’s Straits, which he became con vinced was but a great hay. and Dot a channel extending through the . main land. The .result of his exp’oratious' during the two years’ detention may be summed up as amounting to the accurate examination of one thousand = milos of sea-coast,hitherto, hot, little, if at all,known; the identiScation of Prince William’s Band ; hut.- most of - all.- the discovery of: the fate of the lost party of Fro hither’s men, who, perished In that neighborhood'two hundred years ago, and the traces of their habitations, their labort, and their attempts to escape. By careful attention to tho conversation of the Esqui maux, of whom he came in contact with some ,three hundred encamped near the George Henry, where she lay locked up in the ice. and a labored compl ation of ; their various traditions, the Captain, to' his great de | light, at'length djs'mvfrod.on the Island of Kai lu nak t or White Man’s liondr.as.it was c o'led in the language of the natives, indubitable traces of the five ■men who were lest by Frobisher in that neighborhood. These men, as the old sea chronicle states, had been sent in a boat from Frobisher’s vessel to land an Esquimaux. Their commander had; enjoined upon them, from motives of prndenco, not to touch the mainland, but to leave;the Esquimaux upon one of the many adjacent,islands They, however, disobeyed him, and went to isrrojtritta, where they were capiftred hr the natives. On a subsequent voyage Frobisher heard that they were still alive, but failed to rescue them. la the meantime, they bad established themselves upon the smell islet now called Kad ln-ndk, after them, and there endeavored to establish themselves by the artsofjflviliied life.; The island, said Cant. Hall, mb literally Teeming with marks of their presence—pieces of brick and wood, coal, trenches for fresh water, and one for a ship-launch, with many other Indications, convinced him that ho bad sslvrd a problem of imoortant interest In this ho .was confirmed uponbisretornhome byaperusalof Hakluyts Collection- of Arctic Voyages, of which the rare old oopv he then exhibited to: the audience was the property of Hon: Georgs Bancroft, nnd tho only one, probably, in the coun try, with the sole exception of that deposited in the Astor library. Tbs Captain’s description of his repeat ed and protracted interviews with the natives in relation -to this subnet, and particularly his conversations with . 00-ki-yox. i-ui-noo, (the White Bear.) a dame more than a century.of age. was graphic and vivid in the ex treme. Bhe bad heard ail about the five white man and Frobisher’s fleet from her parents, and tbid how they built a ship and were completing it for departure, whan they fell victims to the severity of the climate, and,' in Epite of the kindest care from the Esquimaux, miserably perished on the little island Hera the captain exhibited pieces of brick and broken bottles, covered with black moss, which, in the sure air of that region, must have taken centuries to accumulate. He also ehowsd a semi circular mass c-f what be had at first considered very fine iron ore. but afterward concluded to be some of Fro-, bjsber’s ballast.: ' Bnt all other attractions ef the evening were thrown into the 7 shade by the appearance of the Esquimaux fa mily, consisting of E birn-bing, the husband, and Tuk oo- li too, 1 he wile, bf aring, in. her srms little; Tuk-en lik.e-te; (the Butterfly.) their Esquimaux progeny. They were ushered in toward the close of the lecture, the heat of the room precluding their earlier presence, clad SB they were In thsir native costume of seal and reindeer skins. In fact, the hitter air outside, which made the teeth of all Gotham chatter last night, was a rather sultry sort of a temperature for these ohiidren of the glaciers. As they took their seats gravely and mo destly in front of the platform, every eye in the audience was turned on them with' Interest and pleasure. The father looked like a South Italian in North Foie uniform, his peculiar straight black hair, hwarthy complexion, broad nostrils and high cheekbones upon an ample . Ireedth of face, completed the resemblance to a wild Sicilian, with this difference; that his stature was about the Esquimaux average, i e, onlf five feet three inches His fair consort was a most blooming, buxom young dame of twenty-five, some three inches shorter than bersponse. After the enormous expansion and fullness of her face, bare neck ant hare shoulders., bad ceased to be a novelty, the mild, amiable, even ladylike expreS' sion of her features begsn to charm, and when shetnmsd her small bnt sparkling black eye upon her Arctic flower —I he baby on her breast—the beholder began to discover a very pretty and encaging woman, on whose clear, broad brow innocence And goodness Fat enthroned in a light kindled at Nature’s fadeless shrine, Tho.warm, heart felt eulogy which Oapt. Hail had just passed upon these noble people, and bis declaration that this lady of the Nor’hwas. tbe.best Eeqyimaux interpreter living even surpassing the farHambd Pedersen—gave p'qapncy to the interest felt by all, and with one accord the audi ence applauded .vehemently.; Both bnshand and wife were evidently greatly pleaded at this reception, and young Butterfly testified his approbation by suddenly waking up, taking a,hearty stare at theyenerable sages who were gazing at him; and then vigorously applying himrelf to those soothing exercises In .which bantlings thirteen months oid, whether Yankee or Esquimaux. «ra wont.to indn'ge at every available opportunity. Ma ternity and infancy, bright links that reach to Heaven, whether they cower beside the glistening glaciers of the Poles, or pant upon the burning sands of the Tfopios! - The husband Captain Hall represented to be one of the hardiest and moat intrepid hunters of the far North— a men of iron, who could endure unscathed hardships that would quickly destroy any one of-Enropean race—a hunter who had steod for three days and nights mo tionless on the ice beside a Eeal hole, and yet, al though unsuccessful, had returned to his homo cheer ful and undaunted. In fact, he, (the Captain,) had; nev®, fOfn a desponding Esquimaux.. Their, ability to go without food or drink was’ astonishing.

This indication of capitals contained in the original, now in mypoasession.isouri onsly omitted fa the version published in the National Intelligencer.” The Intelligencer pays, in correction of ibis misstatement,: «The designation of (capitals’ which be refers to did appear fa the version published in the National Intelligencer , but, as we did not recur ta curfileß to verify his sta'emeut when we Inserted his reply, the error escaped deteotlon.” FEARFUL EXPLOSION OF A LABD TANK.— On Tuesday eveping, at the packing house of Pnleifer & .Williams, fa Cbicaio, a large iron lard-tank exploded with a terrific force that threw it from the first floor clear through the other four stories above, to the roof, wrecking that portion .of the hnildfag, and descending to nearly its former location.
