Rebel Ocohpation of Frederiolr.
Their Operations iota Westept i garylantL.
MONOCACY JUNCTION POSSESSED.
PreDarations • for Defence.
[Special Despatch to The Press.]
' BALTIMORE:, June 22,1803
The telegraph operator at Frederick reached this
city yesterday morning, having left that town in
great haute on the previous night The rebels,
`numbering altogether not more , than one hundred,
entered Frederick about six o'clock, and took formal
possession. The telegraphic instruments were left
in perfect order, so great was the anxiety of the
operator to get off in fear of being caught. The
force taking possession of the town were cavalry,.
and - are said to have inflicted no injur&npon .the
inhabitants thus far. It is important lefitate that
theieWere ne: Union "people in the town, as they
had come to Baltimore two or three days previous.
The rebels are kriciwn - to-have marched further
east, and now hold the I\lonocacy bridge.
Consequently, no trains are run to-day over more
than 40 miles of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Harper's Ferry has not yet been attacked, and it
is stated there are no rebels in the immediate vi
.einify.
Dr. W. ,S. Jenks, postmaster of Frederick, has'
reached this city.
The telegraphic instruments 'and Government
property were all secured at the' Monocacy, and
sent to the Relay House, before the approach of the
rebels. •
The most remarkable quiet is prevailing to-day in ,
Baltimore, and nowhere is to.be seen an enthusiasm
or excitement which it would be supposed ought _
naturally to exist is view of a quite probable ad
vance upon the 'city by the rebel invaders. It is
difficult to account for the equanimity of the Balti. 1 1
moreans, and nothing so confounds sojourners here
than this fact—that while the Northern cities, less
threatened with destruction, and far away from the
possible contingency of attack, have been aroused in
their - patriotism and ardor to a pitch such as was
tispayed at the news of. Sumpter's fall, the people
of Baltimore, with either an -obtuseness to danger,
or iedifference as to consequences, have.'pursued
their daily tenor as in the most peaceful days of the
Republic. Without reading the. newspapers, or
visiting the suburban fortifications, the exist
ence of a national war,
.'and one whose can
none are almost heard beyond the city, Would be
the last suspicion to enter the mind of a travel
ler through our streets. The loyal people find
it difficult to get up a demonstration of any kind,
calculated to stir up the love of country which should
prevail here as everywhere else. The Governor,
the Mayor, the Councils, the Commander of the De
partment, allef whom issue their manifestoes front
Baltimore, are calling upon the people of Maryland
to awake, but- the people of Maryland turn a deaf
- ear, and are regardless of the. danger - Which they are
assured threatens to destroy them: No effort has
bees made to get up a mass meeting of the people to
counsel upon the common danger; no attempt ,at
such war meetings as occur periodically in Philadel
phia and New Wyk. The Union Leagues assemble,
but their sessions are private, and the people are
not reached, nor their sympathies obtained for the
gad cause. The councils, a sterling body of de;'
voted Union men, pass ordinarfces appropriating
vast sums of, money in aid of recruiting, but the re
°rule, comparatively speaking, exist Only in theory,
and.the patriotic; loyal 'citizen has only. one conso
lation left him in this dark hour—the consciousness
that, however recreant Maryland may be to her own
security, her soil will yet be defended by our bro
thers of Pennsylvania, NeW York, and New Jersey.
As an illustration of the feeling, or I might say
the want of feeling, in regard to the danger of injury
by an advance of the rebels upon Baltimore, it may
be mentioned that in various churches of the city
yesterday, many persons remained at tile doors of
the churchekuntil the prayers for the President had
been recited. lam informed that it is no uncommon
thing for worshipers either to go out during the re
cital of these prayers, or to show their contempt by
refusing to assume the devotional attitude which
various denominations adopt as peculiar to prayer.
Y‘terday, I visited the great Cathedral of Arch.
bishop Kenrick, not because of any expectancy to
witness a demonstration such as I speak.of," but
more thrdugh curiosity having'remembered hearing
that prelatewhen he was Biehop ofPhiladelphia. The
aristocracy of Catholic Baltimore comprise princi
pally the congregation of the Cathedral. It may be
here stated that the arch-diocese of Bishop Renriek
includes all of Virginia as well as Maryland, and
the city 'of Richmond is as much his homerie the
city of , Baltimore. No disloyal sentiment or sym
pathy has ever been -imputed to Bishop Kenrick.
On the contrary, he is known to give the Govern
ment hie hearty support, and if it is not frequently
expressed publicly, it is certain, that a sympathy for
the rebellion has never been expressed at all. _He is
certainly in an anomalous position, and as a faith
ful shepherd over a loya/ and disloyal Rock, he has
steered his course in such "a way as to give no
offence politically to either. lie never neglects,
however, to recite the prayer for the supreme au
thorities, and long ago instructed 'his priests to do
likewise. It would lie well if hie congregation
manifested the same spirit.' Yesterday, this ven
erable old man preached at the Cathedral. He was
full dressed in the canonical robes of his office, his
head gray with years, but his voice and manner
bearing all the vigor of his early manhood. He
'commenced to read off the prayer, the whole con
gregation kneeling devoutly: 66 We pray thee, oh
God, that thou wilt bless all those that live here
on earth sin ; that thou wilt bless our holy
'church ; give strength and power to our Holy
Father, Pius IX., that he may prevail over all his
enemies, and we would pray Thee"—at this word,
up started from their knees many apparently the
most devout, the silks of the ladies rustling, and
their resplendent jewelry reflecting by its movement
in the light from.the windows, as they arose -from
their knees to assume a sitting posture. They
kneW what this phrase was about to commit them
to, for they had often heard it before. The, voice of
the Archtishop continued—" that thou wouldst bless
the President of these United States ; give hint
strength and wisdom to direct the affairs of the na-'
tion," 8:.e., The . prayer proceeded to invoke
the blessing upon the Tovernor of Maryland, and
then resumes, " We pray for the souls of the faithful
departed." At this the Whole congregation are again
upon their knees, and so remain until the close. It
is due to say that the insult thus offered was con
fined principally to the most aristocratic of the la
dies. The humbler of the congregation and the
males generally continued upon beaded knee from
beginning to end. Whether this scene has ever oc
curred before, or whether, if it has, the Archbishop
has ever rebuked it, it is not possible for me to say.
With such open and flagrant insults in the public
places of worship, is it any wonder that the rebels
ehouldeount upon a cordial reception upon their
'approach to "My Maryland W..,
The.work of placing Baltimore in a proper state of
defence progresses with the greatest imaginable
vigor. There is not an_ able-bodied negro upon the
streets. All have been impressed, to, the nuratier of
about five thousand thus far, and set to work - on the
fortifications about the city. Yesterday there was'
not a colored man at Divine service in the colored
church on - Sharp street.' The pews %Are, consequent
ly, but half filled, and these were occupied by women
and children. On Saturday morning the work of con
scription commenced, and there was not an alley
unsearched where it was supposed negroes could be
found. None were exempted except such"as onac
count of being family servants, and indispensable
as such, had obtained penes from the Mayor or
marshal of police. They are to be kept in service
night and day, until ail the entrenchments necessary
to be thrown up are coMpleted. They are to be
paid fair wages from a sum appropriated for the
purpose by City Connelly, under the direction of
General Schenck. The Councils believed that the
works were necessary for the city's definge, and
that therefore the city should pay them.
Ex• Governor Hicks is reported. to be raising a
company for immediate service, at his residence in
Dorchester county, Md.
The report that the provost marshal had sup
pressed the circulation of certain, disloyal papers is
not true. Col. Fish denies the report, and explains
in the following letter :
HsAnquAmosus, Sirloins DEPARTMENT,
BTH A.B.mr. ConTS, 01P-VO.S PROVOST laidtaltAL;
DATriMOns, June 21, 1863.
An order WEB published in the evening edition of
the Republican, also, in the Sunday Telegram, of to
day, purporting to emanate from this office, in refer
ence to the suppression* of certain newspapers. No
such order as thus published was issued. It is,. per
haps, a misunderstanding which .is thus, expressed;
I was directed by the Major General commanding to
\ notify the editors of some of the city papers, "that
no extracts from the New York World, IVew York.
Eapretu, Caucasian, Cincinnati Enquirer, and Chicago
'nines, would be permitted to be published in this
Department, ,, which was duly done, and from this
fact the mistake must have occurred. I therefore
respectfully request that this explanation be pub
lished. c W. T. FISH,
Lieut. Col. and Provost Marshal.
It Is stated to•day that George P. Kane, ex 7 ltlar.
shal of Police, has left the City andjoined his friends:
in the western-part of the State. He expects, no
doubt, to enter Baltirnore with the rebels, and to
t , marshal them the way they should g 0.,,
The following orders were issued from heidquar
ters on Saturday afternoon :

BALTIMORE, June 22.--Parties who came from
pointe up the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad towards
Frederick, yesterday, state that the rebels returned
to Frederick in small force about 10 o'clock A.
and remained there all day. They destroyed the
telegraph wires. During, the day a small force of
our cavalry charged into the town and drove the;ree
bels out, but they subsequently returned. There.- '
bel cavalry are said to be mostly Maryland rebels,
who came in to see their friends.
All the -information which has been received at
the American office, this morning. is to the effect
that the rebel force at Frederick and the vicinity is
only a small' scouting party; that there:.are not
more than 7,000 or 8,000 rebels in Maryland; that
there has been as yet no engagement or demonstise
tion made at Harper's Ferry, and that we still hold
communication with that point.
[From the Baltimore American of Monday.]
THE REBELS AT FREDERICK.
We learn from a gentleman, who left Frederick'
yesterday morning, that a cavalry force of about 20. e
men dashed into that city at about 6 o'clock on
Saturday evening. They stated that they were sent
from South Mountain in pursuit of a Federal signal
corps, and had entered the city without orders! . ‘. The
company consisted principally of Marylanders, une
der command of Captain Bowie Davis.
At 8 o'clock on Saturday night all was quiet in
Frederick, and no rebels were known to be nearer
to them than the other side of South Mountkin, ex-'
cept this small party, who had left early in the et
jog. The rebel pickets reported yesterday to be on
the Baltimore road, about thirteen miles this side of
Frederick, are reported by later accounts to have
been Federal pickets, mistaken by excited fugitives
for rebels.
We learn by telegraph that another party of about
one hundred mounted rebels, principally. Mary
landers, from the direction of South Mountain, en
tered Frederick at 9 o'clock on Sunday morning,
and were attacked and driven out of the town by a
party of Major Cole's Federal cavalry, who visited
the town about the same time. They returned again
shortly after dinner, considerably reinforced, and in
turn droveour men out of the city. At the latest
accounts last evening there was a party of about
one hundred and fifty Maryland rebels in Frederick,
their object being apparently to visit their friends
and families, but no rebels in force were believed to,-
be this side of Boonsboro and Hagerstown.
THE. REBELS AT MONOCACY-
For several days past a bright lookout haS been
kept by the railroad employees -at. the Monocacy
bridge for the appearance of the rebels, and although.
I rumors in abundance has reached them, they still
maintained their position until 7 o'clock' on Satur
' day evening. ,During the afternoon the •, country
people came in with rumors of the creasing and ap
, preach of the enemy from various quarters, but the
operator, E. P. Fulton, was determined not to leave
his post until he' had positive evidence of. their
approach. A< handcar was at the bridge, and 'all
was in readiness to depart at a moment's notice. At
7 o'clock, however, a party of rebel scouts made
their appearance on the hill west of the bridge, and
after a careful reconnoissance moved off to the main.
body, which was discovered on the turnpike, and
as they came dashing along towards the station, the
telegraphic instrument was removed and all the de
spatches secured. lii a few minutes, the whole party
remaining, nine in number, including three Govern
ment scouts, commenced to propel themselves to•
wardeßaltimore, and proceeded to the RelayliouSe,
a distance of forty-five miles in seven hours, reach
ing` there at. an early hour on Sunday morning,
having travelled all night.
REBEL ARMY AT ANTIETAM.
The refugees from the Upper Potomac, who ar
rived at the Monocacy on. Saturday, reported an
immense rebel army as having crossed the Potomac
west of Harper's. Ferry, some estimating theni as
high as twenty to forty thousand. The scouts, how
ever, who say they witnessed the crossing front
their hiding.places in the mountains, report that
not less than twenty thousand rebels crossed the
Potomac on Saturday morning • in the vicinity' of
the Antietam battle-ground, consisting of. infantry,
artillery, and cavalry. This is, doubtless, a portien
I of the corps of G"ener_al Ewellewhich-attacked Gertee
uetl Milroy at"Wincliestereand - critturedethe guns
and munitions at that place.- Accounts from. other
sources throw dolibt on this, and say that no large
force of infantry has yet crossedthe Potomac.
HAGERSTO WN.
The rumors that prevailed on Friday of a force of
twenty-five thousand rebels being at Williams
port, Hagerstown, and Sharpsburg,la ascertained
to be an entire fabrication. The _only troops at
those points are those of Generals Jenkins and
Rhodes, the former making raids for horses and
supplies, and the latter, with his infantry, standing
at Williamsport in readiness to protect his crossing
with them to Virginia. They are understood to be
'driving their plunder across, which would not in
' dicate any lengthened stay on this side. As to the
rumored construction of bridges at Williamsport
and Shepherdstown, this is not very likely, as it is
known that the Potomac is now so low as to render
bridges unnecessary in crossing it.
BOONSBORO'. - '
We learn by a gentleman of this city, who arrived
in the Frederick train, that he left Boonsboree,
Washineton county, on Friday, at about 4 -
o'clock
P. M., a few minutes after a force of about 25 rebel
cavalry had taken possession of that town. On
their reaching the place they immediately cora
-1 menced searching for horses, and took six out of
one livery stable, leaving two others that were
harnessed, because they supposed them private
property. The people of the town, and all alongthee
road down to Frederick, were in great alarm, and
farmers were sending their horses away to places of
supposed safety. A number of horses had, been
stolen of farmers near Browniville, about six miles
from Weaverten, on the west side of. South Moun- -
.
THE BARRICADING IN BALTIMORE...
The work of erecting barricades progressed rapidly
on Friday and Saturday, and yesterday morning
the entire_ circle of the city was completed and
ready for military occupation at any moment that
the scents and pickets shall announce the approach
of the enemy. It was a novel sight in, an American
city, and of course attracted throngs of visitors and
much excitement in the neighborhoods where the
prospect of a brisk engagement at their front doors
appeared so promising. Should an attempt be made
to take the city, the occupatioryof the houses in the.
vicinity of the line of barricades by riflemen is also
the prospect of many who have longed for the ar
rival of these traitors in our midst.
The erection of the line •of entrenchments and
fortifications on all the approaches to the city have
also progressed rapidly since Saturday morning, and
yesterday attracted thousands of visitors: On,
baturday morning about one thoUsand colored men
were gathered by the police from different , sections
of the city, causing mush excitement among that
portion of our population as they were marched out
to the different locations for the defensive works.
At night another force was secured to relieve those
Who had been at work throughout the day,•and
another relief gang was provided yesterday morning
and evening, so that rapid progress has been made,
and the works are now ready for immediate use.
We visited the different points yesterday and foend,
the Men working in fine spirits, especially , after - it
was announced that the City Councils had appro
priated $lOO,OOO to pay them for their labor.. Their
wives were thronging out to supply them with eata
bles; and among those of the spectators iwho have
been averse to using the riegro for military purposes
there was a rapid change in sentiment. ' A month
ago the presence of a negro regiment in Baltimore
• would have occasioned a popular outbreak, but we
doubt very .much if the arrival of two or three such.
regiments at the present moment would
_not be
hailed with great satisfaction by the loyal portion
of our population. The 'arrival of len with guns
in their hands are .cordially welcomed, and but little
objection would be made as to "their complexion.
There was, however, no panic visible' among our
loyal citizens. All were ready to meet the responsi
bilities of the occasion. In this respect yesterday
showed a marked difference from the Sunday panic
AN APPEAL FROM GOVERNOR BRA.DPORD.
_Governor Bradford made much the same 'appeal
in spirit as that of Governor Curtin to the people of
Philadelphia. Baltimore was unaronsed, and Gov.
Bradford asked:
Who are the men here in our midst to-day ready
to meet the approaching foe They come from the
North, and the East, and' the West. Volunteers
representing six States now man the works upon
Maryland Heights, and the citizens of the State,
sheltered as they are under the.very shadow of the
capital, should be the last in the Union to hesitate
over any service of a national character tha-may
be required of them. .
The Commanding General authorizes me to say
that, while he has accepted for special duty in the
neighborhood of the barricades the proffered ser
vice of some of our patriotic citizens, such service
will.be no obstacle to the enlistment of those who
wopld volunteer for six months, and who, whilst in
discharge of this special duty, will still be accepted
and mustered into the six menthe, Service, ..
Some, as 1 aril told, decline - to Volunteer, pre:-
ferrinrit draft, because, as they say, only the loyal
will volunteer, 'whilst the draft compels the rebel
sympathizer to discharge his just share of the pub
lic duty. The duty to which we are /10W summoned
is , emphatically a patriotic one—one which we
should be unwilling to share with any whose whole
heart is not devoted to his country. Do you expect
a heart service - of this kind from Secessionistsl
Are you willing to leave the metropolis of the State
undefended because they may fold their arms, and
offer no as,sistancel God forbid.
The patriots of the Revolution recognized no such
reasoning. No Whig failed to respond in thobe days
because Tories stood aloof, ; hut, when struggling
for the liberties which it is now: our duty to defend,
they mustered to a man, and sought no aid from= the
traitors in their midst, and left the very name of
Tory a term of contumely and scorn for all time, to
SKULKING.—During the discussion at the recent
merchants' meeting in Pittsburg, "a gentleman named
vankirk, hailing from Elizabeth, edged his way to
the front, for the purpose, as he atated, of iletting
the meeting know what the people his of
the country were doing. " Well, -then,." he re
marked, " I will tell you what we are doing: We
are doing just nothing at all, and don't . intend to.
We are all skulkers up there ; we have skulked from
the beginning of the' war, and we intend to skulk to .

HARRISBURG,
A Letter from Camp.
[Special Carreepondence of The - Press.]
CAMP IST REGIMENT GRAY RESERVES,
OIITSIDE . HARE,ISBURG, :Tune 20
Scarcely one year, ago, when the regiment was
summoned to the bOrder, we thought Harrisburg
not so handsome a resting-place as it might be.
Then we were greeted on our march through the
town with volumes of dust, that strove to welcome
us in a manner more furious than agreeable, arid
were successful in causing us to bid the capital adieu
with no lingering regret. Now, our stay here has
not effaced one of those disagreeable impressions we
first had, for the elements have again been against
us. Rain of the most penetratih'g and chilling ohs
racter.has been our portion since arriving here, and
now, With blankets out to dry, I am tempted to
scribble a few lines-as to our trip and present where
abouts.
Ourjourney from. est Philadelphia to this spot
was but a repetition of the former onecrowded cars
and no sleep. Even had therebeen room, the stench
of thefreight train would have precluded the possi
bility of slumber. But, notwithstanding theie disa
greeable accompaniments, the night wore on plea
-
sonny' enough, and Harrisburg was reached at about
2A. M. Friday. We did net debark from the ears
until morning broke fully upon the scene, and then
we were formed in line and marched to Camp Cur
tin, where it was intended we should camp. But
the creeping population of that choice spot being.
entirely too numerous for comfort, and its general
condition approaching not on the slightest de
' gree to cleanliness, _it was. wisely. determined to
leave that fire in the rear and seek some
Pleasanter location. Accordingly, we retreated
half a mile toward Harrisburg and pitched our
tentless camp in a field facing the yailroad. Hardly
hail we got thoroughly satisfied with' our position,
when the sky became- overcast, and the roar of
Heaven's artillery openedoupon our devoted heads.
It rained that night to a degree highly suggestive of
a second deluge, and the little shelter tents that our
ingenious hands had constructed from our gum
blankets were soon ripped up by the storm, and we
were left exposed to - the merciless beating of the
rain. However, morning came at last, and with it
the sunlight, and here we are,- making ourselves as
meiry and as comfortable dii.'possible: It cannot
always rain, and the Burr will shine ; and before the
next waterfall encompasses us we hope to be under
the protecting wing of Uncle Sam, and if he fails to
give us choice shelter we will grumble in a way that
shall make his ears tingle for some time to come.
At the present time of writing, we have not the
most remote idea where we 'are bound to, whether
we are to be sworn in or not; in fact, are in the
most pleasing state of ignorance imaginable. But,
then, hasn't somebody said, " Where ignorance is
bliss 'tis folly to be wise W and so, with the pro
mise of letting you hear from me again, I subscribe
myself Ignorantly and happily yours, -A. H.
P. S. Sunday Nothing. - We have just got
through another heavy wet.. There were torrents
of water last night, and by the look of the dull

Troops are constantly arriving at Harrisburg, and
there is of course the usual confusion attending the
arrangements for quartering them. But a few days
will pit matters in proper trim, and we will pro

ARMY OF THE 'POTOMAC,
An Authorized Statement—Hooker's Active
Reconnoissance—Virliereabouts of the Re
bels—Dispositions of the National Army.
[CorrespOndene, of the IsTew.York Times.]
HEADQUAII.TERS, June 20.—For the purpose of
'4Sintradicting all erroneous repOrbi, and giving quiet
-to the public mind, the following facts are autho
-rized to be stated :
There has been ; no engagement Whatever up to
`this i.date, involving any portion of Gen. Hooker's
ariny. , except the cavalry. Cavalry skirmishes,
[fights, and reconnoissances, are taking place. daily,
"with the . advantage uniformly wigs out-forces.
On the evening of the 17th Col. Duffie, with a por
titot (275 men) of the let Rhode Island Cavalry, was
.. ordered to pass through Thoroughfare Gap, -and
push` a reconnoissance northward to Middleburg.
Col. Duffie passed through, meeting with but slight
resistance, a brigade of rebel cavalry falling back to
the southwarthas he pushed northward. He arrived
. at:Middleburg, picking up a few prisoners on. the
way, and capturing at that point the rear, guard of
one of Stuart's brigades, which had beenthoroughly
whipped by Gregg during the afternoon. At Middle
burg Col. Duffle encamped for the night, but soon
tfigeovered that he was between two large bodies
of the enemy, and in a fair way of being surrounded
and' captured. He, therefore, attacked the enemy,
the fight taking
. place mainly in the town. The
-'rettals . appeared on •every side in largely superior
force. Colonel Duffle barricaded the streets, dis
mounted his. nien, and fought on foot for several
- hours.' Finally, seeing escape almost hopeless, he
divided his small command into two parts, and told
them to cut their way out as best they could. He
led one party.hicaself, and brought out twenty-eight
' • en. Some seweirty,thore have -reported to Gene.,
Pleasconton - , Ana 'moreittexibnotantly coming in.
Probably neatly till escaped through the woods,
and will turn up in a day or two. Colonel Duffle
says he had nearly three hundred prisoners, whom
he was obliged to abandon.
The location of the main body of the enemy will.
soon be a; matter-of-certainty. Yesterday, General
Buford' pushed a strong - reconnoissance toward
Snicker's Gap, reaching Phllomont, four miles from
the Gap, without finding the enemy in force. With
out doubt the greater portion of Bwell's corps is
still`around Winchester. Longstreet's corps was in
the Loudeun valley, on Thursday, and 001. Duffle
reports that at Upperville it divided into two
columns ' and moved back, apparently, into the She
nandoah-Valley. This is confirmed by a few infantry
prisoners, taken in the course of the last two days.
Hill's corps has not been positively heard from, but
we are looking for it in the direction of Warrenton.
There are no-rebels, save a few Loudoun county
cavalry.. in t 1 . e Loudoun Valley, above Aldie, and
the indications noted in rar last i lhat the enemy
would probably attempt the crossing of the Potomac
at Nolan , s Ford, are not so numerous as they were.
In fact, Gen. 'Hooker's present position is such
that Lee will be foolhardy in the extreme if he at
tempts it. Of course he will not attempt it, with
this large army on his flank .and rear. So, if the
prospects of Pennsylvania and Maryland invasion
grows less and less, attribute itto the rapid march
ing, and the careful dispositions of_G-en. Hooker and
the Armyof the Potomac. The gaps in the Bull
Elba and Catoctin mountains, .from Leesburg to
Warrenton, are now carefully guarded by our forces,
and no movement'of the enemy can take place with
out early knowledge on our part. As yet, the pro
spect of invasion does not seem flattering to the
enemy.
W A SEEING TON, June2l.—[Special to the Herald.]---
If any apprehensions exist in timid quarters, touch
ing affairs in front, we do not share them here. The
numbers and spirit of the army, with its strong de
fensive positions, forbid the prospect of disaster.
Unofficial despatches from the headquarters of
the army, state, by authority, that it is utterly un
true that the rebels are in any force in the neishbor,
hood of the old Bull Run battle-field, or that Gene
ral Hill, with a large rebel force, is at Dumfries.
The'only fighting which has taken place in front
of our army has been cavalry skirmishes,which have
occurred daily for the past three days, and have thus
far invariably resulted in favor of our cavalry.
Wastirwoxon, June 21.—[Special to the Tribune.]
—Lieut. Col. Thompson, of the- let Rhode Island
Cavalry; with , eighty"men, who were among the
missing after `the fight at Middleburg, have safely
arrived in camp.
A portion of Gen. Stahel's cavalry encountered,
near New Baltimpre, yesterday, the rebel cavalry
pickets. Dismounting a portion of the men with
carbines, Col. De Forest threw them into the woods
as skirmishers. He then followed up with his com
mand.
Suddenly, rebel cavalry were discovered coming
down on the right, and also 'on their 'left, and an
effort was also made by the rebels to get to the rear.
Colonel De Forest saw that his chance to be cut, off
was, great,- and at once gave the order to fall 'back.
One or dashes checked ' the rebels, and our force
- retired: . The rebels did not follow, fearing our rein-

THE SIEGE OF VICKSBURG.
Tlyenty7 'pay of the Siege,
Ix BEAR OF VICKSBUMG, June 13,--To-day they
opened on our line with a gun from a masked posi
tion. r, The smoke indicated its whereabouts, and
our sharpshooters immediately paid their respects.
SeVeral pieces of artillery-were at once brought to
bear, and the excitement for a few moments was in
tense: With a glass one could see the rebel gunners
slaughtered at their posts and their places imme
diately filled by others. it was very evident to all
that they meant to make point right there, and
satisfy us that,they could and would work that gun
_
in spite of the Yankeei; therefore we were some
*hat interested to know how long that position
would hold out. They had fired it eleven times
when a - shot from our batteries diimounted their
gun and knocked the carriage, into splinters. Such
resolutions may be well formed, but irwould trouble
the sharpest rebel in Dixie , to carry them out in this
vicinity.
From the gunboat Tuscurfibla we have a nine-and.
a-half.inch rifled gun. that is making a sorry hole in
Fort Hill, on the Vicksburg and Jackson road.
Heavy guns are constantly being put into position
as they arrive. It is said that the armament of the
Cincinnati' Mei been removed, and her heavy guns
brought here.
A letter just intercepted from a rebel officer in
Viekebilrg to his sister, makes the statement:
"Before this reachee pop,- the stronghold of the
Mississippi will have fallero , ' In general terms he
states that they are short of provisions, nearly out
of ammunition,-and could not, if- they had the am
munition, fire their artillery, because our men pick
off their- gunners, and dismount the guns. His
rank is not given, and it is a question whether he
has information to substantiate what he affirms.
Were the hope of relief from Johnston destroyed, I
am confident they would not hold out twenty-four
hours.—Cor. Chicago Tribune.
From. another correspondent we gather the fol
. •
lowing •
Lieutenant Dale, of the 4th Virginia, of the
storming party, in the assault on the 22d, who was
wounded and captured, was paroled; and sent
through the lines yesterday. From him I"-learn
very interesting' facts' in - relation 'to the besieged
city. He was slightly wounded, and possessed more
than ordinary opportunities for conversation with
those well , informed, and making his own obser
vations. Our wounded are as well cared for and at
tended as those of their own'army. The-surgeons
however, had very, limited supplies of food-and
medicines. Two meals.:.each. day ~t v irere all that
were furnished. These consisted ,of .a species of
bread, and a small allowance of fresh beef. The
bread was made lot' beans, boiled and then mashed,
'enough` corn meal added to make .it of the con
sistency of dough, ,then - baked. .l 0,. ten' coffee,
or delicacies of any kind, were seen by, him in
the hospitals. The-hospital attendants of himself
and several other Union prisoners-were two.ladiee,
who gave them every caredn their power, remain
ing at their post, although our shells were at times
bursting all around the building, one of them kill
ing, by its explosion, two •wounded Union soldiers.
The mortality among, the rebel wounded is very
large. Their loss in the two assaults was 900 killed
and wounded. Of these they have buried 600. `The
effect"of our bombardments her' describes as terrible.
People and beasts are killed everywhere. " For the
protection of the women and children caves have'
been constructed in the hillsides,'in which they hide
themselves whenever we, open tire. But our can
nonades are So irregular that occasional losses of
non-combatants occur, connected with which many
tales of horror are reported.
Another correspondent writes as follows
A few evenings ago, a lieutenant of artillery and
flfteen men came to' the 13th lowa, or, rather, to a
battery-in their brigade. As soon as he came inside
of the lines he asked permission to fire a few shots
at the battery he just left ; it was granted him, and
he dismounted two of the guns he had commanded
the day before. After he had done this, he advised
the captain to move his guns to a new position,
where he showed him he could get a better range.
I think the time is not far distant when we will
again be called upon to make another assault upon
the works. It is probable, or, rather, possible, that
we will be fortunate enough to see the white rag
hoisted'before such a move may be considered neces
sary.
Referring to the rebel hope from Johnston, a let
'ter in the Cincinnati Gazette reads:
If he had a hundred thousand men, it would be
impossible to assist Vicksburg from the rear. The
more men he could 'bring, the better for us. I wish
our people to understand this. The country is for
fifty miles, all between the Yazoo and Big Black,
desolate. Our troops have burned all the corn and
pork, all mills, and all that could contribute to the
.support of our troops.
The topographyof the country is the most favora
ble to defence of any upon earth. It is a succession
of hills and gullies, and there are only three roads
by which an enemy could advance ; these are corn.
mended by hills that could be defended by a small
force against ten times their number. Gen. Grant
has no more fear of them, has no more doubt of sue
cess, than your readers have of the approach of
autumn and its golden fruits.
Suppose Johnston should come? He cannot make
more than five miles per day. He cannot carry more
than five days' rations. Where would that carry
him? He knows that, and his only hope is in a
force from Louisiana and Texas. How could•they
cross the Mississippi? It is futile to fear, foolish to
dread. All is on our side, right and might.
The citizens of Vicksburg, it is reported, went to
Pemberton and begged him to surrender. He re
plied: "You have doubted my loyalty ;' have ma
ligned me. I said to you, go, long before this siege.
You heeded me not;.now it is too late; you must
suffer with me as long as there is food to sustain
life."
STATES - IN REBELLION.
AFFAIRS AT VICKSBURG.
arcm the Chattanooga Rebel, June 13
Mississippians, in many instances, deem Vicks
burg already lost, and when -the possible - results of
this event are contemplated we may well deplore
them. How long :can General _Johnston maintain
his position in the vicinity or.Tackson I If Grant
holds 'Vicksburg, reinforced from Porter's fleet-and
from Banks, how long can the army which is now
too small to cross the Big Black and assail Grant's
rear, hold .Tacksonl It has been believed that
Banks would not be permittell to join Grant ; but
we have, no news indicating any movement of John
ston to prevent the combination of the two armies.
In very truth the news from Jackson is conflicting
and unsatisfactory. I have seen a negro who
escaped from Vicksburg since : the fight began. He
confesses that he has been subjected to such con-
Stant fright by the explosion of shells, that he has
seen nothing but the perpetual roar of artillery since
the Federals laid siege to the place.
But little news comes through *he Federal and
Confederate lines., The proclamation of Gen. John
ston And of the Governor have induced every man
to expect the worst. Knowing the character and
worth; and stubborn: courage of many of the' :de. -
fenders of the little city, I am not inclined to believe
that the garrison will be surrendered, nor the place
lost. There is no suffering, nor losses, nor dangers,
that can be borne. which the defenders of Vicksburg
'will not endure to the uttermost, rather than to
capitulate. If this must occur, the first stand made
by our forces will be on the Big Black, about 10 or
20 miles from Vicksburg, and at Jackson, 50 miles,
which is now being fortified. Flank "movements
from Port Hudson below, and from afferent points
along the Yazoo above, will force our troops to re
treat toward Meridian and Mobile, and thus we will
be driven from the Mississippi.
From Memphis and other points, above and below
Vicksburg, Federal troops will advance into the
interior. Johnston's position will be turned, and
he must again retreat. Thus we shall be compelled
to retire from the river, and then the Federal Go
vernment hopes to reopen trade with New Orleans.
Thus Cincinnati, St. Louie, and Chicago, and the
whole Northwest, are to be appeased. Thus the
Vallandigham party is to be shorn of its power.
Very truthfully did General Thomas :assert, when
he induced Grant to return to the assault of Vieks•
burg; that there were -"political :considerations , '
which made the capture of Vicksburg an inevitable
necessity. -
[Correspondence of the - KnoxVille
The proclamation of 'Governor Pettus and Gene,
ral Johnston, urging the people of Mississippi to
rise en • maser: te , take up arms; - will add but little
strengtlrto Southern armies. By some agency the
people were induced to misconceive the possible
results of a revolution in 'which, with unparalleled
zeal, they embarked their lives and fortunes. An
invasion of their own State was not anticipated.
They believed that. Kentucky and Tennessee would
furnish all the battle-fields, to become memorable
through all time, and that the actual presence of
invading armies was absolutely impossible. They
succumb to unforeseen calamities, while the courage
of Tennessee has risen with their increased pressure
and magnitude. •
ROSECRANS , MOVEMENTS A PUZZLE.
[Correspondence of the Savannah'Republican, June 9.7
The movements of Rosecrans still continue clouded
in mystery, and it is not known whether he has sent
off any of his force or not. It is very difficult to
obtain any information of his movements, as he has
established a chain of patrols, and it is well nigh
impossible for scouts and sinew to penetrate his

THE NEW ICING OF GREECE
COPENILAGEN, June —Evening.—The Greek
deputation had an audience of the King of Den
mark to-day at the Castle of Christiansborg. Ad.
miral Kanaris, the spokesman of the deputation,
made the following speech
"BIAYIT PLEASE - YOUR MAJESTY: Upon the lath of
'March the National Assembly of Greece proclaimed
that it had chosen Prince William George, of Den
mark, as King of the Hellenes, under the title of
George I. The Assembly has honored us with the
mission to offer the Prince, the crown. While,
therefore, sire, we deposit the decree notifying this
choice in your Majesty's hands, we hope that your
reply will fulfil the wishes and expectations of the
Hellenic people. This choice sire, is as much an
act of homage to the person of famous sovereign
to whom, it has pleased Providence to entrust the
destinies of Denmark,. as a proof of confidence in
the talents of the young Prince. The choice will
further prove a: bond of union between two nations
ever distinguished for virtuesand patriotism. Greece
bases all her- hopes upon the young Prince, and,
reckoning upon the support of the three protecting
Powers, is possessed with the conviction, that she
will one day see the fulfilment of the national de
sires." .
The King of Denmark replied :
4, We accept the crown for our young relative, to
which he has been called by the. Greek people. In
the negotiations. at London of the great Powers
who largely contributed to the foundation of Greece,
and preserved unenfeebled their interest in her pro
gress, we stipulated, as the conditions of the ac
ceptance of the crown, the-union of the lonian
Islands with the Greek ktngdom. We feel pleasure
in expressing our certain expectation that this
union will soon take place, and we wished that the
young King, when received by his people, should be
hailed as bringing with him the fulfilment of this
well-founded, long-cherished desire.
" We hope that he will succeed, with the co-opera
tion of the Greek people, in developing the rich re
sources of the country, and in conducting, her to 'a
splendid and happy future.' This desire is shared by
all who preserve the recollection of the heroic com
bat of Greece for. independence; and, when the
young sovereign enters his new home, this wish will
accompany him froth Denmark's King and people."
Turning to Prince William, the King of Denmark
continued:
"Before you leave this spot I give you this heart
felt and well-meant advice : Let itbe your constant
endeavor to.gain and preserve the love of the people.
Without boasting, I speak from experience when I
say that in this consists the true happiness of a
King. Adhere firml3r to the Constitution of the
country; strive constantly to procure its recogni
tion ; watch that. it may be maintained intact. If
you make this your rule, you and your people will
The King then took up the insignia of the Order
of the Elephant, and advanced to the Prince, say-
"Before I raise you to the high position you will
soon occupy, and while you are stilL a- Danish
prince, I will confer upon you at the foot of the
throne a visible sign of •the King's favor, by nomi
nating you a Knight of the Order of the Elephant."
The'King next conducted the Prince to the highest
step of the throne, kissed him three times, and said,
with deep emotion and hearty kindness
"Receive the blessings of your King, and may
God be with you."
King George subsequently gave audience to the
deputation at,the palace of Prince Christian. Admi
ral Kanaris made a speech, concluding as follows :
"Greece is, convinced that your Majesty is filled
with a sense, of the .high duties to which you are
called, and will devote yourself to the welfare of the
country and the development of, free institutions.
As for me, sire I have lived long enough 'after
having , seen this day, to exclaim with Simeon:
'Lord, now let thy servant depart in-peace.'"
King George replied : ,--
" I receive the first greetings of the ripresen
tatives of, the Greek people with true joy. It is
with profound emotion that I have heard them from
the mouth of the man whose name is linked with
everlasting fame to the regeneration of Greece. I
am deeply impressed with the responsibility of the
position which has fallen to my lot, and will dedi
cate to it the utmost powers of my life. I rely upon
the loyal asaistance- of the Greek people for the at
tainment of our common object—the happiness of.
Greece. I have grown up, in a country where legal
order is combine] ellt re 011ent3ltleefil fleCdom,
.9"his.''.l 1;14 thereby attained -large and felicitoud
development. The lesson have here received shall
accompany me to my new country; and I shall keep
in view the motto,of the King of Denmark, The
love of the people is my strength.'"
The new King of the Greeks was much cheered by
the people upon leaving the Castle of Christiansborg.

MEXICAN CONSULS PROSEOTITED IN
IM2MI
(Paris (June s).correenondence of London. Globe.]
- • .
The Minister of Justice has erred in allowing ar
bitrary proceedings to be taken against the Mexican
consuls. Five of these gentlemen have been tried
for keeping up their correspondence with Mexicb,
for writing despatches, for receiving information,
and for disseminating it. The correspondence of the
consuls,
a formidable pile, stood in judgment against
them. They all protested against the illegality of
their arrest, and itis strange that, France not having
declared war against Mexico, and merely wishingto
establish -a good government where a bad govern
ment had existed, should deal thus _harshly with
simple correspondents. The real crime of the con
suls was in making the real state of affairs in
Mexico public. A Roman emperor, in an edict,
once condemned a man's name to perpetual oblivion,
which was, perhaps, the only way he had of handing
it down to posterity. The trial of the five consuls
will spread through France the contents of the let
ters they were accused of having shown to one or
two friends and_ the Independence Beige. Maneyro,
one of the guilty parties, braved the Court, and de
clared himself ready to produce proofs that the
French had suffered heavy losses ; that the state of
Mexico had been misrepresented and the Emperor
deceived. MM. Arago and Herbert spoke power
fully in favor of the accused, the latter asking if they
had returned to the time of the °mars, when it was
held a crime to differ in opinion from the sovereign 1
Arago thought these men should be decorated for
having spoken the truth, instead of being dragged
up before the correctional police.
The consuls were all acquitted..

I/ANON:ROLM tjOIN CIRCULATION.—III
consequence of the absence of gold,. opportunity
has been afforded experts to manufacture large quan
tities of filled coin; which is said to be pretty well
circulated in this and other cities. The resumption
of payment of customs 'duties in gold. in conse
quence of the' scarcity of the demand 'notes, has
brought out the false coin in company with the ge
nuine ; and the counterfeits are so well made that
none but experts can well detect them. We are in
formed that many of the banks have received and
paid this false issue ; brokers take and sell it, and
it is sent to the custom house to pay duties, without
criminal knowledge or intent. The proportion of
the filled coin now in uae.-is not large, as compared
with the genuine currency, but, it is nevertheless
true that few of the men handling it know whether
the coin is genuine pr not, and the uninitiated can
not possibly detect the work of the tamperers.
At the custom house the filled pieces are sent in
for payment of duties ; while the rejection of a num
ber of them in one day is not uncommon. The dis
covery of these pieces -is followed immediately by
cutting them in halves with a chisel, when they are
returned to their owners, who; of course, replace
them with good coin.
The system of filling, as now practised, is said to
have originated some years ago in California, and
was brat detected in 'England in the process of melt
ing the coin. The business is now, if possible, more
carefully and also more extensively conducted.
The process is to split the coin, to take from the
centre one-third to one-half, and, in some cases,
a larger proportion of the gold, which is careful
ly weighed,. and an equal amount of platina,
or alloy of platina, of an inferior quality, put
in its place—in what, manner is not precisely
understood. The - sides of the coin. are then
closed, the edge is re-milled,- - and the whole o
the work is so accurately done that not only the
weight of the piece remains unchanged, but the size
remains the same, or so nearly the same that the
difference is not perceptible; and what is most sin
gular the " ring" is perfectly clear. This test, there
fore, which is generally employed to detect spurious
coin, is quite useless, although some experts think
they can by this means observe and detect the filled
pieces. The milling of the coin most frequently re
veals its character.
At the present rate of premium, six to seven dol
'are, worth of gold can be taken from a ten.dollar
gold piece, while the, filling is estimated to be worth
four dollars per ounce—one-fifth, perhaps, of the
value of the metal abstracted.
The skill with which this fraud is committed con
stitutes its chief danger; but it is by no means like
ly that any large proportion of our gold coin will
ever be debased.
THE JUNCTION RAUROAD.—A force is
at present employed along the whole length of the
Junction Railroad, :and the work is being pushed
forward rapidly. The road extends from Gray's
Ferry to'Belmont, and is a little over four and a
half miles long. There will be two tracks of four
feet eight and a half.inches gauge. Probably no read
in the country of a similar length has required so
much culverting and tunneling and bridging as the
Junction road will. ' There will be six iron bridges,
eight culverts ' and_ seven hundred and fifty feet of
tunneling. North of Market-street bridge moat of
the grading has been done, and a handsome and'
substantial iron bridge has been constructed over
Thirty-fifth street, near the standpipe. The exca
vation south of the Market-street bridgehas been
brought up to the vicinity of Walnut street, near
where the tunneling will be begun, and come out
north of the bridge. At Gray's Ferry workmen
are engaged in, blasting a considerable depth, hay
ing to be reached through solid rock. Preparations
have been made for the building of an immense
depot on the north• side of Market street, below
Thirty-secend. The old buildings have been re
moved from the site, and the new structure will
soon be commenced.
OPERATING IN A . . _NEW FTELp.— ,. .une
managers' - of the- Pennsylvania branch' of . the
American Tract Society have made a beginning in
anew fieldommely-the colored population of Phila.
delphia; amounting to at least 30,000. A judicious
and devout colored man has been commissioned to
labor among his brethren, a task which he has faith
fully performed, having,.during the past year, made
over 4,500 visits, calling the attention of every'
family to the subject of religion. He has held
seventy•five meetings for prayer and exhortation;
children have been gathered into week-day and
Sabbath-schools; many have been invited :to the
house of worship, and several have professed to have
experienced a' change of heart, and united with the
church. Some families visited have been' found in
the lowest state of degradation; yet even these have
been reached by kindness and sympathy, and an in
fluence been brought to bear upon them for good.
The sale of books among them does not exceed $25
for the year, which clearly shows their poverty and
ignorance. Amid all the haunts of sin, in the moat
wi etched cellars, this good man has been received
with kindness. His pastor testifies to his, zeal,
fidelity, and perseverance.'
THE GRAND FLORAL FAIR at Concert
Hall, which for the last fortnight has been so much
admired and been patronized by so many thousands
of out citizens, closed on Saturday- evening. Able
and patriotic addresses were then delivered by Rev:
E. W. Butter, Henry D. Moore, Esq., and the Rev.
Dr. Brainerd. The !card of thanks" of the gentle
men having the matter in charge, published yester
day, indicated that they, while engaged in their ar
duous duties, were not unmindful of the least of
those who have in any way contributed to its happy
termination; from the tact and ability we noticed
displayed by them throughout its continuance, in
conjunction with the untiring efforts of the ladies,
may be ascribed the eminent success it met with.
We can now imagine the thrill of joy and satisfac
tion which will pervade the hearts of dtsabled
soldiers on receiving from the philanthropic ladies
those comforts which the Government does not pro
vide, and which they, through the beneficence of the
public; are permitted to furnish.
A SUPPOSED STY.—An individUal, sup
posed to be a rebel spy, has arrived in this city to
await a proper examination. It seems that - on
Tuesday last he made his appearance in Marietta,
Pa., soliciting work. ' On Thursday he was success
ful, and worked several days for a gentleman in the
town. On Saturday, however, while under the in
fluence of liquor or- some momentary excitement,
he announced himself a rebel soldie, belonging to
the 9th Alabama. lie said he had been in the army
eighteen months, was in favor of the South, had
;fought in twenty-four battles, and meant to fight in
as many more, if he got the opportunity. He al
leges that he escaped after the battle of Chancellor
vine, but Whether he was taken prisoner or not, he
did not say. Some of the citizens of Marietta, upon
hearing his talk, had him arrested, and he was placed
in the charge of a provost marshal. From his actions
he is supposed to be a spy, and has been brought here
for examination. ' '
A TOUCTrn% INCIDENT.--A few days
since, when a car-load of sick and wounded soldiers
arrived at the Baltimore LdepOt, and while waiting
for transportation' to the hospitals, several little
boys came into the.cars, and gratuitously furnished
a number of the brave fellows with fruit, ice, etc.
One of the soldiers, a member of Company B, 154th
New York Volunteers, insisted on paying the lads
for their.most acceptable gifts, but the little fellows
most strenuously declined taking one cent. As they
turned to leave, the soldier called them back, and
said - C-" Dip dear boys, if you will take nothing else,
wonityou accept a soldier's thanks and a soldier's
blessing?" These few words were said with such
feeling and kindness as to bring Jeers to the eyes of
those who witnessed the pleasing incident. ,
THE POLICE Tc.' oor.--The police corn-
pany from this city,- under the command of that old
soldier, Captain John Spear, are now under the per
sonal supervision of - the Mayor of Harrisburg, and
the men composing this body are to be stationed on
the street corners in the city, ala provost guard,
each armed With in addition to-his other
weapons. - This company has been mustered into the
United States service; and' is subject to the same
orders as , other troops now in the army. They will
• greatly'facilitate the carrying out of the civil law,
and their presence will aid in the preservation of
peace throughout the city. -

well filled with persons of color, of bOth sexes, to
listen to an address delivered by Oneds E. De Boil,
a French colored woman. She was born the slave
of her own uncle, in Southern Alabama, but
escaped from bondage in childhood; and settled
finally in Hayti 'After devotional exercises, the
lecturer was presented to the audience. She is - a
good and entertaining speaker. Gifted; as she un
questionably is, with a lively imagination, she de
picted some of the eventful scenes in her life. She
was very happy, indeed, in her description of the
customs and manners of the pftle of Hayti. Her
mission is to raise funds for the establishing of a
school for females in Gonaives, Hayti, and her
appeal, we understand, is to be confined to her own
race. She will remain in this city for several days
to receive such voluntary contributions as the phi
lanthropic may be willing to advance, after which
she purposes extending her tour as far - as Northern
Ohio. So far phe has been, very favorably received,
for which, on-:behalf of the uneducated of Hayti,
she expresseeher grateful thanks; and believed
that, under the blessing of God, who holds all his
creatures accountable for their actions in life, She
will meet with entire success. '

(Before Mr. Alderman Bigler.]
. • Again in Trouble.-
William B. Runt, a young man who was recently
arrested for forging a check on the City Bank, but
who was not prosecuted because the amount was
paid, was arraigned yesterday afternoon on, the
charge of stealing a quantity of jewelry from a gen
tleman residing on West Filbert street. The arti
cles were stolen from a wardrobe, in the day time.
last week. -.Sergeant Thackara arrested tbe•accused
yesterday, and found upon him a piece of gold chain
that was identified by the owner. He confessed the
robbery, and stated that he had sold most of the
articles to a man named P. Leppert, who keeps a
small jewelry shop on Poplar street.
Detective Lemon took the matter in hand, and
succeeded in recovering a nugget of gold, weighing
eighteen pennyweights, that had been made from
the stolenjewelry and sold to a storekeeper on Second
street, above Coates.
Leppert was asked if he had anything to say. He
admitted that he had purchased the jewelry, bat did
not know that it had been stolen.
Mr. - Lamont said that Leppert refused to purchase
the articles unless they were broken up..
Hunt charged Leppert with breaking the articles
before he bought them.
These are the main points elicited in the case:
Hunt was committed in default of $2,000 ; Leppert,
as a receiver, in the sum of $1,500, to answer at
Sub-Cointractor and Tent.makera.

Shoplifting.
William Johnson is the name given by a man who
went into the store of Mr. S. R. Wright, on Sixth
street, yesterday morning, and purloined a pair of
drawers. , Tie said he would like to buy a ,pair of
very light silk drawers, whereupon an assortment
were shown him. They - were not light enough.
Mr. W. turned to get a - still finer article. "At this
moment the customer picked up a pair and secreted
them under his coat. This little transaction was
observed by Mrs. W, who was unobserved in the
back part of the store. She conamunicated the fact
to her husband, and he at once took the fellow into
custody, and handed him over to a police officer.
The `drawers were recovered. The defendant was
committed in default of $BOO bail to answer.
• Alleged•Larc — eny. . -
Jeremiah Skellinger is the name given by a- ga
therer of oyster-shells,-who was arrested yesterday,'
and taken before Alderman Beitler, charged on the
oath of W. D. Franks, with purloining a purse con
taining $O, the - property of the manic attached to - the:
establishment of Mr. F. The principal witness
keeps a public-house on -Eighth street. The defen
dant came there to gather oyster-shells, and in the
pursuit of this business had to -pass through the
cook's apartment. The,purse containing- the six
dollars was on a shelf, when the accused went in;
when he went out the - purse was missed. There
had been no one in the room during that time. Mr.
Franks, on missing the purse from the shelf where
he had seen' it a few minutes before, charged Skel..
lingen-witlt.haVing taken it. The accused asked
what.k.thd , of a purse it was, and upon being de
scribed to him,ihe replied, " Well, then,fr havp.'.t got
at." The accused was .committed in default of $6OO
bail;- , ,
Officer Boyd Adel:camas some time since arrested
upon the oath of a: pomemiserable inebriate woman,
who charged him witirleemmitting an assault and
battery upon her.. The charge a was heard before a
committing magistrateond there being but one side
heard, the officer washeld to bail to answer at court.
He obtained all his witnesses, among them a num
ber of merchants, who were hcirrified at the inhuman
treatment a little boy had been subjected to by the
inebriate mother, and the day for trial was fixed.
Finally the case wail abandoned, and there was no
thing left for the jury to do but to render a verdict
of not guilty. There is certainly something more
than this due to Officer Adams. His business is not
the most pleasant ; in fact, it subjects him to more
annoyance than should fail to the ordinary lot of a
police officer. Most of thepeople who let their chil
dren sleep with dogs or pigs, or runloose about the
streets, are, as a very general thing, habitual drunk
aria the functions of their brain impaired, and their
imaginations distorted by the too frequent indulgence
in bad liquor. These are the people with whom he
cornea, most in contact. In the above ease he waa
not only charged with murdering an infant, kidnap
ping a child, but did brutally treat the mother ; not
one word of which was true. With allthese charges,
which he was ready to refute as preferred against
the jury simply rendered a verdict of not guilty,
because the prosecutors shrank from the prosecu
tion. It is said to be a maxim of the law, that there
is no, wrong without a remedy. Further proceed
ings may be instituted, by which Officer Adams can
have ample redress, because of a most villainous
prosecution. .

county. That at said shops locomotives and cars
are repaired, and are to a . greater or leas extent re--
and in some Instances new locomotives
and new rare are - built-for the use of the road in the
eaid shops. That in the said shops there.are also
constructed and repaired ..various implements and
tools, such as are customarily used and employed in
connection with the practical operation and work
ing of railroads, and that generally in the said
shops, your orators are accustomed to do such
work as is requisite for the purpose of -keeping in
efficient' order the machinery- and the rolling stock
wherewith their lines : of railway are
,used, and,
operated. - „
That they,are advised that no taxes or dutieSare
imposed by. said act of Congress or its supplements
(the internal revenue Jaw) upon any repairs which
are made in their own shops of the machinery nnd
rolling-stock oftheir road, or upon any near ma
chinery or rolling-stock which they may cause to be
constructed for their own use in their said shops, or
upon any, tools or implements in said shop con
structed for use_and employment in thooperation of
their said road. But they show that the defendants
' -
Firs/. That your orators are liable
to pay a tax or
duty on such work as may be done in the repairing
of locomotives, cars, and other rolling-stock and
machinery. used and employed by your orators in
the operation of their said railroad.
Second. That your orators are liable to pay a tax
or duty upon such locomotives, cars, rolling stock,
machinery, as your orators may construct anew, for
the purpose `of• replacing such locomotives, ears,
rolling stock, and machinery, as has been originally
provided for the use of said road, but has become
worn out or destroyed in its service.
Third. That your orators are liable to pay a tax or
duty' upon such new locomotives, care, rolling stock,
and machinery, as your orators may cause to' be
constructed for their own use in their said shops, for
the purpose of adding to and increasing the - amount
of locomotives, cars, rolling stock and machinery,
which your orators have employed in operating
their said road.
Fourth. That your orators are liable to pay a tax
or duty upon such new implements, tools, and app.•
ratus of various kinds, as your orators may cause

distrained, and the running of their road interfered
with forthe non-payment of the said pretended tax,
whereby irreparable injury would ensue, as well to
your orators as to the community at large, and also
the Government of .the United States, by the sus
pension or interference with the traffic on said road.
They therefore pray an interpretation of the said
act of Congress, so far as it is alleged that these
taxes are by.the same imposed or authorized to be
collected, ea that it may be ascertained whether
they are liable to pay them, or any of them ; and for
an. injunction to restrain the defendants from as
sessing or collecting them. - -
