ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
Specl►l Correspondence of The Press.
CULPEPER. November 21, 1863
IN CITLPSPER,
It seems like a dream, that I should be in Cul
peper. Only one month has elapsed since the hegira
of our army. We left the town by night, in the red
glow of fire light. Denizens on the doorsteps bade
us farewell in vivacious tones. Last Monday our
cavalry trotted through the town, complacently eye
"ng the deserted-looking mansions, not wondering at
the chagrin of - their oodupants, who refrained from
showing us the least countenance. I think a large
number of families must have gone with the rebel
army, as there is a greater-number of vacant houses
than usual. Our cavalry are encamped about three
miles from town, the 6th Penns. doinp provost duty
here. Many of the atoms have been broken into, I .
understand, and some two thousand dollars' worth
of tobacco taken by the soldiers. A. reconnoissance
has been made to James City, on the right, and
Mitchell's Station on the left.
TAB PONDS OP TUB ICAPPMIANNOOK.
Fifteen prisoners were taken at the latter place,
and the main body of the enemy found to be on the
south side of the. Rapidan, where preparations seem
to be making to give us fight. Their position is a
,desirable one, but their strength is not very great.
From United States ford to Barnet's ford, a dis
tance of from twenty to thirty miles, the Rappahan
nock is full of sinuosities. Rapidan, Morton, Rac
coon, Sommerville, and Germania fords, are nearly
all located in places where the river bends, and are
connected the one with the other by a succession of
parallel roads, which gives to the enemy a very
great advantage. They are enabled to reinforce any
one point at a moment's notice. W_Tnless we could
cross simultaneously at a number of these fords, or
with lightning-like rapidity - at one, it would be a
desperate undertaking to go over under range of
their guns. A pause at any one of these places
would be fatal, as they can easily reinforce from the
right and left. Lee's army has less effective men
now than ever. Whether we shall march on or not
will soon be made manifest.
Gay. LBWS DISAPPOINTMENTS.
Not a single movement of the past four weeks can
General Lee reflect on with pride or satisfaction.
His race for the heights of Centreville was futile,
and he must thank the leniency-of the , people that
he was not severely censured, as was poor lIW, who
seems to have fallen under the particular displva
sure of every one because of his slowness. It pro
vokes them to think of the train and chanees lost—
they sigh for General Jackson, and exclaim:
"'Twits not thus he was wont to march hiffmen
such an exigenef." Bristow gained for their arms
no victory, no 'laurels for their leader; while their
flight from that station to the Rappahannock was
only exceeded in disgracefulness by their recent re
treat from there to the Rapidan. Some time ago I
noticed in a leading article of a Richmond news
paper that Meade would have given his eyetooth
to have had an opportunity of attacking Lee -then
and there. I opine General Lee would have given
every tooth in his head freely had General Meade•
not assaulted his position at Rappahannock Sta
tion. Oh, the mortification of such surprise The
disgrace of that hasty midnight retreat his army
madeAhrough the town on Sunday! Oh, for the
warm winter quarters, almost if not altogether pre-
Pared, and alas ! for the comfortable assurance given
the good town people that the Yankees should no
more come nigh to molest 5,,r make them afraid.
PLIODT FROM OIIERILLAS--MOUNTAIN SCENERY..
In my " maunderings" through the country, as
the Scotch say—for correspondents will wander in
body as well as mind—l accidentally got on the out
side of our lines. It was somewhere near Hazel
river that I stopped. While conversing with the
inmates of the house, I saw three guerillas ride up
and capture two of our men. They said the re.
mainder of the band, come forty in number, was
concealed in the woods near by. I crept cautiously
Up stairs, and lay quietly concealed until they with
drew. My dreams were unpleasant that night, and
I do not wonder, When I think on the experience of
the ensuing day. The residence where I stopped was
in full sight of the Sierra.shaped tops of the Blue
Ridge. It was called Mountain View. From the
front door of the house the misty looking heights
could be seen extending far into the illimitable ex
panee of ether. Here there shot up almost per
pendicularly into the sky a mountain so steep, rug
ged, and bare=' as to be inaccessible to mortal tread.
Hill swelled boldly above hill ; undulations shapely
and unseemly were there ; heights, smooth, grace
ful, and grotesque, Were ranged carelessly side by
Bide as if thrown together in playful sport by the
hand of seme powerful Anteuo. Lower down, and
leaning fondly on its base, rested a huge green
mound, tapering oh , delicately and gently, almost
imperceptibly emerging into the, level ground be
neath. To the right was a spacious tract of country
with every species of little house and hillock, plain,
and tree, and •brush, to enliven its picturesque
surface. Then came the long vista of the opening
valley dotted.with the crumbling farm-houses, sou
venirs of a cruel war.
Leading front the direction of the mountains, the
Rixesville road, like a piece of crumpled yellow rib
„bon, ran irregularly on till it joined the dark line
which must be the railroad, near Brandy station.
The whole scene was and warmed by a broad,
bright, honest sun into:whose glowing countenance
the boldest could not gaze unwinkingly. Sir Wal
ter Scott thought that`additional effect would be
given to his scenic description!), by the introduction
of one or two hisman beings. Lesser lights have
taken the hint, and we never read of a narrow defile
through the mountains, but we soon stumble upon
a ” solitary horseman." When I looked out upon
the quiet scene so feebly por trayed,`l saw about
twenty horsemen ride slowly into view., What lit
tie prescience I had was of &tiger. Steadily they
pursued their way along the winding road. At last
I saw them and fled up stairs. Their outro appear
ancetthe mysterious manner of their coining, all con
firmed my belief that they were not good men, loyal
and true to their country.
STAND, AND SIIRD.B.NDBR
Brief was their halt, yet sufficiently long to inform
the people of the house- that they were "Yanks,"
and to lead my horse,from the stable. If they are
Union men I can soon get my horse, I thought. After
this medley crowd I rushed, and, in a voice as mild
as Virginia home-made coffee, said, "Gentlemen, I
would like you to restore my horse;" and, without
waiting for a response, I inquired of a young man
dressed in blue, whom they called Hogan, if he be
longed to the 6th New York. "No," he gruffly re
plied, "we're rebels." "Ohl" I mentally ex
claimed, "If you are guerillas, I don't expect my
horse," and was turning to go away, but they soon
arrested me. At -this moment a fierce-looking ser
geant -rode up, and demanded that "pistol I had
concealed some place." Without any qualms of Con
science, I staunchly denied all knowledge of such
weapons. I soon learned that my subterfuge would
be dangerous, for he quickly drew a revolver from
his belt, and placed= the cold muzzle against
my tingling ears. Oh, -the dirge-like click.
of that look, the icy touch of the iron, the
Aangerous appearance of the long, shining barrel
Every time, the horse capered I listened intently
for a premature explosion. I quietly refused to
give any information, and endeavored to prepare
myself, by a brief prayer, for martyrdom. Here
was an occasion when courage was needed more
than bravery. The first is of the mind, the latter
pertains entirely to the blood. The impetuous, un
thinking man is always brave when the blood is
hot; but he seldom has courage to face the danger
which menaces him in his calmer moods. Amid the
excitement of the battle, when the hurtling lead
falls thick and fast, and God's noblest work is man
gled by the shrieking shells ; when the brazen
strains of the bugle mingle strangely with the wild
notes of fife and drum, and the sepulchral groans of
the dying—then, carried away by excitement and en
thusiasm; he would dash up to the blazing-throated
cannon, and terrify death by his temerity. But in
the still small hours of the night he fears to wander
among the slain, and would fain shut his ears
against the incoherent cries of the wounded. At
the witching hour of midnight he whistles a stimu
lus to his sinking courage, if called upon to pass
near a graveyard. He can scarce refrain froth
looking askance and trembling at the wierd look of
his own shadow.
A ROI3BMOB DEN-DENOUEMENT
Illy courage, which had thus far been up to the 1
"sticking Roint," began to fall. I thought gloomily
of my prospects in) Libby Prison, sighed in antici
pation of the forced marches it would require to
reach that obnonious place, and groaned in bitter
nese of spirit upon the unsavory morsels of mule
meat, and the indigestable pea bread upon which I
might soon expect to be regaled. It seems almost
incredible, but true it is, I was Bony that I was a
correspondent, and wanted to "be an angel." After
being "double-quirked" through a thicket where
were some very sharp thorns, I reached the main
body of the band concealed in the thick woods.
Such a sight—what a set I During the heat of reit;
mous persecution in Scotland, one might expect to
see such creatures concealed in the ferns and caves
of their native Scotia, that they might avoid the
pitiless swords of Olavehouee and his moss troopers.
Were these creatures men or "brownies," Union
soldiers, or guerillas? One glance at their scanty
homespun, a quick look at the blind halters and im
provised saddles, the restless look of the men, their
long hair and shaggy beards, all combined to force
from my lips the exclamation: " Surely these men
are bandits." I hastily threw my note-book in the
brush; my watch and pooket-book was following
hard after, when Captain Kline, of Gen. Patrick's
headquarters, rode up, and we exchanged boisterous
greetings, Mere my trouble ended. These nonde
scripts were our own brave fellows. They had just
returned from a little brush with ltloseby, and were
just in time to serve me as an escort. They dkptured
a notorious rebel scout, Dr. Semen Jones, who had
important papers concealed about his person.' The
guerillas are oarrying off all cattle, and it is said
they have orders to lead all colts away who have
reached the age of two years and upwards. This, I
un derstand, is a precautionary measure to preserve
them for their owners and keep them from falling
into "Yankee hands." Some people are sufficiently
heterodox to believe they would never more see
their colts and cattle if they got over the Rapidan,
I think this myself. Moseby still hangi upon our
right. He works in between the cavalry and in.
fantry, picking up stragglers and unarmed men.
The lucrative portion of his trade is in capturing
mules and. contraband& Some weeks he sent into

he is paid munificently. This la the first time he
has been known to operate in this portion of Vir•
ginia. We have men in our army who worddi take
the contract of capturing this bandit. I have• met
such men, and know they would bring him in dead
or alive. Rebel scouts came into town twice [duel'

two officers' servants, by compelling them to answer•'
various questions, the answers to . which they
carefully noted down. Lieut. Englieh, with ten
men of the 17th Pennsylvania, endeavored to capture
them, but were too late. .There is no doubt General
Buford, would make terrible examples of such men
if captured. A reconnoitring party of rebels pushed
against Kilpatrick's front yesterday. It was raining
very fast at the time. Several guns were fired, when
the enemy withdrew.
The cars will soon be running through Culpeper.
The railroad is now in good condition to Mitchell
Station, and perhaps to the Rapidan. Our infantry
is slowly moving up. I see the Engineer Corps here
today, and expect the army soon. Sunday it rained
heavily, and today is coludy and unpleasant.
THE UNION PRISONERS AT RICHMOND.
A Narrative of their Privations and Suf
ferings—Statement of Rev John Hussey,
Lb D., a Released Prisoner.
Rev. John Hussey, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Lockland, Howell county, Ohio, and a
member of the Christian Commission, was captured
by the rebels on the field of Chickamauga, on the
day (succeeding the battle, and conveyed through a
tedious route to Richmbnd, where he remained in
durance until the 9th of the present month, less than
a fortnight since, when he wastortunate enough to
be released. The =reverend gentleman has very
kindly furnished us with a statement of what he
'was oompelled to witness, and to endure, while in
captivity, and although it does not materially differ
from the experience of others, who were equally un- ,
fortunate, it yet embraces many particulars of in
terest. At the present time, indeed, when the whole
North is raised to sympathy and indignation, at the
recital of the sufferings , of the Union prisoners in
the Richmond jails, any intelligence throwing light
upon their actual condition must awaken a feeling
of painful interest in the community. The following
is Rev. Dr. Hussey's story, as furnished to one of
Our reporters
Accompanied by a detail of about a dozen men, I
proceeded to the field of Chickamauga, on the list of
September last, for the purpose of assisting the
wounded, interring the dead, and discharging such
other duties as the occasion might suggest. I had
prepared a number of head-boards for the graves,
and was marking' others, when I found myself ac
costed by a rebel officer, who I subsequently !Muted
was medical director on General Wheeler's staff.
Hie names have forgotten. I said to him : Doctor,
I am a minister of the Gospel and a delegate of the
Christian Conunission, and have remained here to
do what I can for the wounded ;" adding that I
would care for the rebel wounded as well as our
own. He immediately responded :
"You area d—d Abolitionist! Come, sir, I will
ask Judge Terry what I shall do with you."
We entered the hospital together where Judge
Terry was discovered suffering from a wound in the
left arm which he wore in a sling.
"Judge Terry, here is a d—d Abolitionist
preacher !" That was all the ceremony of intro
duction considered i necessary. Judge, or rather
General Terry—for he was both, and expects soon
to be made a major general—asked me whether I
was a chaplain, to which a negative response was
of course given. The General walked up and down
the room for many miryrtes in a perfect fury of
passion, which found but partied vent in the most
fearful oaths and most terrible invective aimed at
myself. ' s
"If you were a chaplain," he said, "I should
know what to do with you, and if I could have my
own way, I know exactly what I should do with
you—l would hang every d—n one of you ! Look at
the condition of the country Look at our widows
and our orphans, and our desolated homes! Just
think of the blood we have shed, and the treasure
we have spent, and the bitter sorrows we have
been compelled to suffer—and all for such infemous.
scoundrels as you! It is such men as you who are
waging this war upon our liberties. It is you who
have done all this, and are responsible for it. Now,
what ought to be done with youl What ought Ito
do with such a villain as your
From his pointed manner, he seemed to be of
opinion that, having put an unanswerable question
to me, I would not, as a reasoning creature, en
deavor to evade it ; but, villain as I was, would
frankly admit that I had brought on the war, and
was willing to suffer martyrdom for such an Indic
°Teton. But, as I was contemplating with surprise
and bewilderment an exhibition of rage that seemed
so totally Uncalled-for, I did not reply immediately
to hie question ; and when I would have spoken,
he gave way to such another outburst of noisy vin
dictiveness that my words would have passed rm.
heeded, and, therefore, I was silent. When the
storm of his fury had exhausted itself in denuncia
Wei and prnianity, not often heard from the lips of
judge or general, he calmed down to a more rational
frame of mind. At length, in the. tone of one who
is willing to sacrifice the opportunity of avenging
private wrongs for the nobler opportunity of treat
ing his enemy with magnanimity, he remarked
loftily, with a wave of his right arm:
"I am a military man, and have nothing to do
with you. I will hand you over to the civil autho
rities for endeavoring to incite negro insurrections,
contrary to the laws of the State !"
I remarked in a tone of self-deprecation that I
had not done any such thing, nor thought of it.
" Well," said General Terry, " You were caught
in our lines ; that is enough," and left the room.
A gaunt and filthy Texan ranger then seized me
insolently by the shoulders, and pulled me out of
the hospital building. A horse without saddle or
bridle, and with only a halter, was furnished me
with the information that I must mount and follow
closely in the path of the general, who was already
in the saddle. In compliance with the injunction,
I rode that day sixteen miles on my sharp.trotring
Confederate horse. In this way we proceeded to
Tunnel Hill, and thence to Atlanta, where, along
with some other prisohers I was thrown into the
barracks and kept two nights and two days. Here
we were officially, systematically, and completely
robbed, of every thing of value we possessed ; only
two of us being passed out through the door at a
time, so that those within, ignorant of what
was going on, could not conceal or destroy any
valuables upon their persons. Thence we were re
moved to Augusta, Georgia, and Raleigh, North Ca
rolina. In the barracks at the former place we saw
Judge Gant, one of the most prominent and widely
esteemed citizens of East. Tennessee, a prisoner,
handcuffed, in tattered garments, and in the most
abject and miserable condition. One of his fellow
prisoners, a major of an East Tennessee regiment,
with whom I stole an opportunity to converse, in
formed me that the rebel's invariably hanged every
Kansas soldier who fell into their hands; and that
he himself had seen sixteen Kansas soldiers hung up
like dogs before his own quarters.
At the village of Thompson, Georgia, we met
General Duff Green, who had been detaped in con
sequence of the train - running off the tr.. Carpet
bag in hand, and accompanied by two young ladies,
his nieces, perhaps, he mingled freely among our
men, to ascertain our views upon the war question.
"Why did you come here to fight us l" he asked.
"Why don't you go to your own country, and let us
alone'!"
One of our party, a Kentuckian. said ; This is
our country—that's why we come here."
"But," said / General Green, " we do not try to
Invade the North."
" Will," answered the Kentuckian, " what about
Gettysburg)"
The General felt this to be rather a poser, and did
not attempt to reply, but parried it as beat he could
with other questions. Alter a little while he grew
excited, and exclaimed, with vehemence:
" The time will come when we will cut the throat
of every one of you we take."
" We will not do it, will wet" said one of the young
ladies', in a tone of horror.
"Yes, we will," answered Gen, CAen, sharply.
" We will Out the throat of every Yankee prisoner."
Tact then our train moved off, but we could see the
General gesticulating violently, and growing redder
in the face.
In the'southern part of North Carolina, the cars
stopped before a handsome private residence. Upon
the porch stood two young girls, fashionably dressed,
and, so far as outward appearance went, apparently
ladies of refinement. No sooner, however, had they
ascertained our character than they betrayed, in
their demeanor, that they were unworthy of this
title. One of them took out her handkerchief, made
a loop of it, passed it around her neck—indicating,
in a pantomimic way, that we were either worthy of
hanging or deserved to be hanged;.perhaps both.
ideas were Intended to be conveyed. The other
young lady contented herself with simply clutching
her throat in both hands, and mimicking the con-.
tortions of a strangling person. When the train
moved on, both of them shook their little nets at us
with terrible energy, and we felt much safer when
they had passed from view.
At length we reached Riclimond,,and were placed:
in Castle Thunder, where all cimillan prisoners,
whether Northern or Southern loyalists, are placed.
There were about six hundred of the former and
eight hundred of the latter incarcerated when we
arrived. The Southern Unionists are mostly from.
East Tennessee, North Carolina, and Western and
Northern Virginia. lncluded, however, among
them, are cltizens / from all parts of the South. Very
many of them were formerly possessed of vast
wealth and influence, and one of.the prisoners was
but a abort time since one of the largest planters of
Texas. Another, who had prabtised law in Jack
son, Mies., thirty-five years; was brought to Castle
Thunder, with linen pants, worn out at the knees,
and with no other covering but an old striped shawl
thrown over his shoulder,.
The statement that the prisoners on Belle Island
had received no meat, for twelve days, and are com
pelled to kill dogs and eat them to avoid starvation,
is possibly true; but in the Richmond- prisons
affairs, though bad enough, have not yet reached
this desperate pass. The prisoners receive one meal
a day, consisting of half a leaf of bread and two
ounces of meat. In all the prisons of the city the
same quantity of provisions is furnished to the tin•
fortunate inmates. In every, other reaped they are
treated almost like doge. They are unprovided with
any clothing except what they may have had noon
them when captured, nor with blankets or bedding of
any kind, but are compelled tone upon the bare and
nithy floors. The inmates of Castle Thunder, of
whom there are 240 on the upper floor, are crowded
into apartments so small that they, are compelled to
sleep in parallel rows, to economize space. Once
every three weeks the floor is scrubbed, when they
are allowed -to proceed to the prison yard for a
4 N I OII freeh air Rod eAcrekle 6 A.t Un other time
THREE CENTS.
are they allowed to leave their rooter, upon any
pretence whatever.
The prlaoners never have a chance to wash them%
selves, as neither soap nor water le provided for
them. Partly from this circumstance, partly from
the insufficient Supply of food, and partly from the
fcctid atmosphere they are compelled to breathe, dis
eases of the bowels and liver are very prevalent, ,
especially among the more advanced in life';;an.d
very few, either young or old, manage to maintain
any semblance or health. Another cause con
tlibuting to this distressing result is the lards of
clothing, already mentioned. Among the prisoners ,
be a man from New York, whose only covering
about a yard of rag caspet, and in the eyes of his fel ,
low-anfferers his wardrobe is by no means considered
despicable; and another, a Baptist minister, is al
most naked. Since his Imprisonment, he has heard
of the death of four of his children; but, notwith
standing his terrible sufferings, he refuses to pur
chase his liberty by taking the oath of allegiance to
the Confederate Government. These are by no
means exceptional cases of hardship, but I mention
them because they came immediately under my own
observation, and because they are as striking and
suggestive as any I could name. .
There is nothing the Government can do for the
relief of these men, that will be more acceptable
than to furnish them with stores and fuel, for, inde
pendent of their sufferings from the cold, perhaps
not one of them` - has even tasted a warm meal, or
even as much as a hot cup of coffee since his incar
ceration. What they especially need, also, is a good
supply of vegetables, such as onions, potatoes, &e.,
to guard, against the scurvy Clothing also should
be sent to them as soon as possible. Their condi
tion may be greatly ameliorated, and very many
lives saved, if they are promptly supplied with the
articles named. The Christian and Sanitary Commis.
sions will, no doubt, exert themselves to the utmost
to see that this is done; but their exertions, to be fully
auccessful, must be encouraged and substantially
aided by the public. Let the people of Philadelphia
come forward with a generous response to this fresh
demand, and in the darkest cells of the Richmond
prisons, there will be a merrier Christmas and a
happier New, for their beneficence.
Relief for Prisoners.
To the Editor of The Press
Sim? The following extract from a letter written
by the Sanitary Commission agent at Norfolk, Va.,
under date of Nov. 13, shows that our Government

SANITARY COMMISSION,
NORFOLK, Va., NOV. 13, 1863.
* a • *
The Government is ready and willing, and is
making every effort to supply the wants of our suf
fering soldiers confined in Southern prisons. Gen.
Meredith is authorized to send everything that may
be required te supply their wants or add to their
comforts, and this morning despatched to City Point
a boat. with the following list of supplies : 5,000
blankets, 5,000 body-coats, 5,000 overcoats, MOO
pairs shoes, 5,000 caps, 5,000 wool shirts, 5,000 pairs
socks, 240,000 rations of food.
The .General - will continue to forward supplies as
fast as they can be . sent from City Point to Rich- -
mond. The supplies sent by the Sanitary Commis
sion should consist mainly of concentrated food of
all kinds, pickles, under-clothing, towels, soap,
sponges, combs, (coarse and tine,) and, perhaps, a
little tobacco. That the supplies sent by the Go.
vernment and by the Sanitary Commission will be
received at Richmond and distributed among our,
men there is, I think, but little doubt. Doubtless
there will be a small leakage by the way, but this
must be submitted to for the. , sake of getting some
thing through to our sufferers. Ns

To the Editor of The Press:
SIR : Do you not think it would be appropriate to
have a collection taken up in all our churches on the
National Thanksgiving Day, for the exclusive bene
fit of the _Richmond Prisoners Would it not gladden
their hearts to know that a nation had remembered
their sufferings on a day of thanksgiving?

CAPTURED REBEL CORRESPONDENCE.
How Business is Carried on by .English
Blockade Runners—The Effect of the Fall
of 'Vicksburg on Rebel Securities.
The Washington Republican publishes additiona l
extracts from the rebel correspondence captured on
the blockade-runner Ella and Annie. The following
letter from a 'rebel agent in England to John DI.
Cooper & Co., of Savannah, shows how the fall of
Vicksburg knocked down rebel securities :
"LONDON, Sept. 21, 1863.
"GENTLEMEN : A day or two after my arrival here
I wrote you a few lines, stating that, owing to the
fill of Vickaburg and retreat of Les, Confederate
securities were at a very low estimate, Ste &a. I
could not get an offer for our railroad stocks, and I
am sorry to say that there has been no improvement
since, and now (the last news was of tee fall of Forts
Wagner and Sumpter) they are valueless in the mar.
ket here.
' , Excepting advantages we may derive from ar.
rangernents 1 have made with manufacturers and
publishers, and the information I have gained of
mode of business, Se , he., I fear that my trip here
will prove a failure. It is a great disappointment ;
my expectations were so high, so much expected of
me, and coming here at such fearful expense, my non
success causes me great unhappiness. I would re
turn by steamer of 3d proximo, by way of Halifax,
but that I have not yet completed arrangements for
future business, and am purchasing for Messrs.
Habersham.
" I have secured the agencies for publioations of H.
G. Bohn, steel pens of Rinks, Wells, & Company,
playing cards of C. Goodall & Sons, and am negotia
tinwith others. Messrs. Wostenholm & Son, and
F.Ward & Company, Birmingham, are now consi
dering my propositions, and will write me. The
parties above named engage to fill no orders from
Confederate States besides ours, and we, with Mor
ris, to have depots at Savannah and Richmond.
" They give us same terms as did their agents in
the United States. They will, when satisfied of their
security, advance us stock, provided the business is
large enough to warrant it. Could do nothing with
Gillott. However, H. Wells & Co.'s pens are as
good, though not so well known; they made almost
all the pens we had our name on.
"I have made some purchases for R. H. & Son,
and shipped yesterday and to-day five or six cases
for them by way of Bermuda. Last adirices I had
from Nassau was, that owing to the yellow fever,
there was but little business there, 'and but few
blockade runners. Have not had a line from home
since I left. There are several parties here, on the
same errand as myself, but who are doing little or
nothing.
"They confidently expected to negotiate the fifteen
million loan, and for which they paid high premium.
I could, two weeks since, have sold some of the
bonds brought with me, but at so great sacrifice,
thought it best to retain them. Have not tried
Liverpool, - an learned that there are large amounts
of Confederate securities on the market. The people
here are, with few exceptions, confident of our ulti
mate success in our struggle- for independence, but
tear our ability to redeem.
"The mode of business is so entirely different to
ours that it is almost like anew study tome.:The
stock is diffierent, &c., he. Have not yet seen, in
any of the paper houses, a ream of ruled letter or
cap paper. Almost any article ordered in quantities
would have to be put up to. order. I have learned a
great deal, and when hostilities cease will be pre
pared while others will first have to learn. I find it
best to depend upon one's own tact and labor to find
test places to buy at.
" To be advised to or introduced, subjects yourself,
or the manufacturer, to a demand called commis
sions, generally two and a half per cent. on your or
der. Have already had a difficulty from such a de
mand being made of 'me—the manufacturer, go
verned by the influence of the party who said he in
troduced me (which was false), had to decline.my
order. Of course I would not submit. Am very
well. except a cold.
"The'climate is very disagreeable, damp, and
chilly. It is too late to ask you to write me, as I
shall be on my way home before a letter could
reach me here, unless a very great improvement in
our affairs will enable me to negotiate our securi
ties. Ihave no prospect of such. Regards to each
of you. Would have sent the seeds for Willy in one
of It. H. & Son's cases, but the new seed hasnot yet
come in, and the dealers advise not to send seed of
last year. Will get and send as soon as can.
Yours, truly, • W. H.•OLCOTT.
"Messrs. John M. Cooper & Co., Savannah, Ga.,'
" On the 24th of September, the same gentleman
wrote to Mr. A. Morns, of Richmond, respecting
hie statement that his expedition was likely to
prove a failure. Nobody was prepared to invest in
rebel bonds, and the news was uniformly bad, and,
altogether, he thought he would get home as quickly
as possible."
THE TEXAS EXPEDITION.
Matamoros and Browniville—Union Senti
mess in Texas
NaW ORLEANE, Nov. 14.—Under this date, a cor
respondent describes the troubles in Matamoros,
between the French and the Jtilirez national parti
sans in 'Mexico. Of the present commandant at
Matamoros, he writes :
Oortinas has shown his friendship for the Union
by placing three Rio Grande steamers at the service
and under the control of General Banks. One of
these, the Matamoros, is valuable to us, because
she is the only boat we have here that call arm the
bar at the river mouth.
Another revolution was , looked for on the night
of the 7th-Bth; and as the American. Consul in
Matamoros expected to be attacked, our forces were
held in readiness to defend him. But nothing came
of it.
It is a fact that the French naval officers on the
Matamoros station were for some time in expecta
tion of a pronunciamiente which should place the
French party in power in Tamaulipas, and it is now
clear that all the arrangements of, the French on the
coast were made with this in view. The French
blockade covers the whole coast to a point within
nine miles of the Rio Grande. Had the people of
Tamaulipas "pronounced" in favor of the French,
as it was intended they should, with the help of the
rebels under General Bee, all the bbjects of the
French, and of the rebels, too, would have been ac
complished, without leaving our Government room
to complain of unfriendly action. The opportune
arrival of General Banks 'spoiled a most ingenious
and to us daLgerous plot.
THE PEOPLE OP TEXAS
The prospect in Texas for our cause is good. Gen.
Banks needs and ought to have more troops,per
haps ten or twelve thousand men, in order to enable
him to act in the State. The people in Brownsville,
as well as on the Mexican site of the river, are
friendly to us. I have no doubt that Mexican
troope could be raised, it it were advisable, to serve
under the American flag. The greater part of the
people in and about Brownsville are of Mexican
origin the common people and the wealthy men
are favorable to the reestablishment of the Union
Government, under which they always enjoyed
peace, protection, and liberty. They are, however,
much cowed by the rebel tyranny, and have such an
idea of the strength and determination of the rebels
that they will not take political action ulnas they
are made sure of protection.
The display bf a considerable force here is neces
sary to produce confidence in our power and to re•
store the former condition of thingsi and this force
must remain for a time. With proper management
there is a prospect that all Texas can be brought
back under the Union flag, and that with little de
lay. Now that a part of the people are relieved
from a tyranny had grown hateful to them,
and that also the tampering.ot the French with the
rebels has been interrupted and their plots broken
up, the prospect here is promising.
Tarr Palmerston trim. eon., according to a private
letter received by the editor of the Albany Journal,
is settled. "This I know. Nothing more will be
heard of it, unless, perhaps, a motion by plaintiff to
take his affidavit and petition off the file. I believe
it w a s a trap , by the lady whose husband is not an
Irish parson. His imam, ail he sweet's himself, is

The Canvass in Delaware.
A correspondent writes: The Unionists are jubt•-
lant and demonstrative, for the people are with
them and of them, and they sail on the full tide - of
healthy and patriotic public sentiment. Theirpo
litical canvass is as exultant and full of cheerful
noise as the canvass which carried Tippecanoe and,
alas, Tyler too, to the Presidency. They have
banners, torchlight processions, stirring, hopeful
speeches, meetings everywhere, and songs innu

Perioricals Received.
Ilarpees'lffagazine for December, commencing the
28th volume, opens with, a couple of illustrated
poems—" Saint Christopher," by W. D. Howells, U.
S. Consul at Venice ; and "Twilight on Sumpter, 4
by R. H. Stoddard. Both are good. B. J. Loosing
followii with his "Scenes in the War of 1812," par
ticularly devoted to the war on the coast, including
the British landing at Havre.de•Grace, a place well
known to all Northern travellers to Washington.
Fifteen engravings add value to this sketch. " Pie
rues of the Japanese," by A. H. Guernsey, may be
said to contain the essence of Sir Rutherford Al.
cock's new book upon Japan, (it is called "The
Capital of the Tycoon,") and is made additionally
satisfactory by thirty.two illustrations, several of
them copies of Japanese drawings. Among the mit
cellaneous papers that follow, we particularly may
mention The Telling Treasure," hy Thomas Dunn
English, the idea of which is taken from the torn
manuscript shown by the Abbe Faris to Edmund
Dantes in the dungeons of Chateau d' If, revealing
the treasures on the Isle of Monte Christi; addl.
timid chapters of "Cap-and•Bellir," a novel,; by
J. M. Legere; Personal Recollections of Pres
cott, the Historian, by James Wynne; "An
Experiment," by Caroline Chesebro; A Nat.
rative (only too briefly told, by Mrs. R.
B. Minturn,) of a journey "Overland from St.
Paul to Lake Superior';" a chapter on Names,
by Louisa E. Furniss, and, albeit a little prosy and
metaphysical, an Essay on "The Ethics of Love," .
by Samuel Osgood, which young people, in partied.
lar, may read with a certainty of, being instructed.
There is a feeble sketch here, by Chas. D. Gardette,
entitled "My Friend Crackthorpe Again," in which
the solitary idea, of a madman's decoying a sane
person to a lunatic asylum and there leaving him,
has been used, and used up, a score of times, anal
generally better than now. The small-type portions
of Maga continue good. There are nearly sixty en
gravings of Merit in this new number of Harper.
The Atlantic Monthly for December completes_ the
twelfth volume. Its first article, a prose sketch by
Frederick Ingham, U. S. N., is called "A Man
Without a Country," and relates, in a manner
touching from its very simplicity, the misadventures
of one Philip Nolan, once an army officer, who died,
at sea, last May, after being there for nearly fifty
years—his mishaps commenced as far back as 1605 - ,
by his meeting Aaron Burr, who involved him in
conspiracy and treason. How he got to sea, and
why he staid there, is the mystery of this well-told
and truth-like tale. "The Birds of Killinworth,"
is a poem of nearly 250 lines, in the Whietleoraft
stanza, by Longfellow,—a veritable idyl breathing of
the country, and reading country-folks the plain les
son that their crops may suffer from the inroads of
destructive insects, if the birds who devour them
are slaughtered. ",Literary Life in Paris," gives
an account of a young French poet whose lite watts
struggle between Poverty and Ambition. "The
Great Air Engine," is a story we have failed to com
prehend, after two attempts at perusal. W. J. Still
man has a personal sketch of Eugene Delacroix,
the great French painter, who lately died, and Henry
J. Tuckerman, who sometimes writes poetry in
prose, contributes a delightful, thoughtful, and sug
gestive paper, entitled " Something about Bridges
a paper the fruit of travel, observation, memory,-
and judgment. Professor Agassia explains the "In
ternal Structure and Progression of the Glacier,"—
an article suggested by Professor Tyndall's recent,
book on Glaciers, Agassiz himself having previously
published the " Systeme Glaciate." A notice of
Longfellow, the poet, by George W. Curtis, Is
wholly unworthy - the writer and hia subjeft,—a very
ordinary critic could have produced it, with a mini
mum of thought. These are the more noticeable pa
pers in this new number of the Atlantic ilionlady,
which we have received from T. B. Pugh.
The January number is announced to contain
prose articles by Mrs. Stowe, Miss Prescott, Bayard_
Trio; Agassiz, Robert Dale Owen, and a Christ
Dias Story by the author of " Life in the Iron Mills ;"
aleo, poems by Bryant, Longfellow, and Whittier.
Mrs. Stowe's series of-Sketches, to be continued for
several months, will be called, "House and Home
Papers," by Christopher Crowfleld. In the course
of 1664, this periodicaAvill publish some cantos of
Longfellow's translation of Dante'S "Divine Corn
media ;" poems by Robert Browning, a new neve!
by J. T. Trowbridge, and Nathaniel Hawthorne's
new romance.
It is lumored that a new Monthly Magazine will
immediately appear in New York, under the editor.
ship of Professor Henry Coppde, of the University
of Pennsylvania.
The steel-engraving of the December number of
Peterson's Ladies' Magazine is a gem in its way. It
s entitled "The Interupted Reading," and shows a
young mother who, with a sudden impulse, stops in
the perusal of a book, to anateh.up her darling little
child and press it to her bosom with fond caresses.
The title-page, a moonlight scene in the centre, with
six charming vignettes illustrating the Winter Sea
ton, is very well designed and finely engraved. The
literature is of the usual acceptable character, and
four original copyrighted novelettes are prombied fa_
1864.
The American Law Register, November, 1863,

We have the October number of The American
Exchange and Review, also published in Philadelphia,
which is generally well conducted and well sup
ported by the public. A very little care would'
make it better able than it now Is, to compete with.
Hum's Merchants , Magazine. Theatrical criticism.
and notices of "the situation" and prospects of the
war, do not precisely harmonize; and among the
large-type articles, two such able dissertations as.
thone on the " Obligations of Paying Ouatoms' Du.
ties in Gold," and "The Pacific Railroad," stand in.
curious contrast with a long paper on "'Voltaire and,
hi s Times." commercial readera expect something_
different. With the new year 1 Mich changes may ba
made as will convert the American Exchange into a.
thorough business periodical.
Zieber sends us the American reprint of the
new number of the Mukluk Review, It con-
tains ten articles, of which the first, upon the Bri
tish-American colony of Queensland, is the best.
If all its statements be true, this new colony pre.
mites to become of unusually great value to the
motherland. Other papers are on the following
subjects : Medireval Rome, Cadastral Survey of ,
Great Britain, Life of Lord Bolingbroke, •Jurispru
dence, the Royal Academy, Cinchona cultivation in.
India, Reign of George 111., a hlshratta romance,
and the Colonial Episcopate. In the last, oddly
enough, Bishop Colenso's case is carefully not men
zioned.
The Art Journal, for November, with its beautiful
engravings on steel and wood, and its original and.
valuable papers on Art, is also to be procured from.
Mr. Zieber. There is no other art-periodical at all
approaching this in merit, beauty, and low price.
