I made on the 6th and 7th close pereonal recon noissances of the right and left of the enemy'. posi tions, which, with information already acquired, convinced Inc that it was best to prepare for an as sault by the preliminary employment of heavy guns and some siege. operations. Instant assault would have been simple folly. On the 7th I telegraphed to the President as 'follows : HPATIQUALETERS ABUT OP THE POTOMAC, April 1, 1802. To the Preddent, Wasfifiuiton, D. C : Your telegram of yesterday is received. In reply I have 'he honor to state that my entire force for duty amounts to only about (85,000) eighty. five thou sand men. General Wool's command, as you Will observe from -the accompanying order, has been taken out of my control, although he has most cheerfully co-operated with me. The only. use that can be made of his command is to protect-my com munications in the rear of this point. At this time Only fifty-three thousand men have joined me, but they are coming up as rapidly as my means of trans portation will permit. Please refer to my despatch to the. Secretary,of War tonight, for the details of r. my present "situation. GEO- Si • MoCLELIA.IB, Major General. On the same dei I sent the folloiving EIBADQUILATIOUS Anarr.On-THE POTOMAC, +ll.r ri&ONT OF YORKTOWN, April; 1862--7 A. M. Hon. E. M. St' &WA ..s.iCretary of War; Your telegram; of'Yesterday arrived here while I Was about examining the enemys right, which I did pretty closely. The whole line of the Warwick, which really heads-within a mile of Yorktown, is strongly defended by ditches, redoubts, and other fortifications, armed with heavy and light guns. The Vialri c c r l i r e , tartothYareitteortivatroe cov eredor, at b3 most,tko two passages, both of which are covered by stron batteries. It will be necessary to resort to the use of heavy guns and some siege operations before an assault, • • - All the prisoners state that Gen. J. E. Johnston arrived at Yorktown yesterday, with strong rein forcements. It seems, clear I shall have the whole force of the enemy on my hands, probably not less than (100,000) one hundred thousand men, and probably more. In consequence of the loss of Bien kere division and the Ist Owe, my force is possibly less than that of the enemy, while they nave all the advantage of position. I am under great obligations to you for the offer that the whole force and material of the Govern , ment Will be as fully and as specially 'under my com mand as heretoforei or as it the new department had not been created. Since my arrangements were made for this cam paign,at least (50,000) fi fty thousand men have been taken from my command. Since my despatch of the 6th instant, live divisions have been in close obser vation of the enemy, and frequently exchanging j shots. When my present command all oine r i. shall have about (85.000) eighty-five thousand men for duty, from which a large force must be taken for guards, scouts, &c. With this army, I could assault the enemy's works, and, perhaps, carry them ; but were I in possession of their entrenchments, and as sailed by double my numbers, I should have no fears as to the result. Under the eh cumstances that have been deve. loped since we arrived here, I feel fully impressed with the conviction that here is to be fought the great battle that is to decide the existing contest. I shall, of course commence the attack as soon as I can get up my siege train, and shall do all in my power to carry the enemy's works ; but to do this with a reasonable degree of certainty, requires, in my judgment, that I should, •if possible, have at least the Ist Corps to land upon the Severn river and attack Gloucester in the rear. . _ My present strength will not admit of a detach ment sufficient for this purpose without materially 'repairing the efficiency , of this column. Flag Officer . (loldsborough thinks the works too strong for his available vessels, unless I can turn Gloucester. I send by mall copies of hie letter, and one of the com mander of the gunboats here. GEO. B. McCLELLAN, Nej. Gen. On the.7th day of April, and before the arrival of the divisions of Generals Hooker, Richardson, And Casey, I received the following despatches from the President and Secretary of War : WASHINGTON, April 6,1862-8 P. M. General G. B. McClellan: • Yours of 11 A. M. to-day Is received. Secretary Of War Informs me that the forwarding of trans portation ammunition, and Woodbury's brigade is not and Will not be interfered with. You now have over one hundred thousand troops with you, hide• pendent oh General Wool's command. -I think you had better break the enemy's line from Yorktown to Warwick river at once. This will, probably, use time as advantageously as can. A. LINCOLN, President. WASIIINOTON, ,A.pril 6 ; 1862-2 P. M General G. 13. McClellan: The President directs me to say that your despatch to him has been received. General Sumner's corps is on the road to join you, and will go forward as fast as possible. Franklin's division Is now on the advance toward: Nanassas. There is no means of transportation het. to send it forward in time to be of service in your present operations. Telegraph frequently, nod all in the power or the Government shell be done to wedeln you , as occasion may re• Secretary of War. By the 9th of April I had acquired a pretty good knowledge of the position and strength of tne one• my'i Works, and the obstacles to be overcome. -On that day I received the following letter from the President: WASHINGTON, April 9, 1862. Major General Mcclellan: Pay Dzen. bin: Your despatches, complaining that you are not properly sustained, while they do not offend me, do pain me very much. Blenker's division was withdrawn from you before you left here, and you know the purpose under which I did it, and, as I thought, acquiesced in it—certainly, not without reluctance. After you left, I aster tained that less than twenty thousand unorganized men, without a single deld-battery, were all you designed to be left for the defence of Washington and Manama Junction, and part of this even was to go to General Hooker's position. General Banks' corps, once designed for Manassas Junction, was diverted ; and having taken a trip up on the line of Winchester and Strasburg, I mould not have it without again exposing the Upper Potomac and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. / This presented (or would present, when McDowell and Sumner should be gone) a great temptation to the enemy to turn back from the Rappahannock and sack Wash ington. My explicit order that Washington should, by the judgment of all the commanders of army corps, be left entirely secure, had been neglected. It was precisely this that drove me to detain McDowell. I do not forget that I was satisfied with your arrangement to leave Banks at Manassas Junction ; but when that arrangement Was broken up, and nothing was substituted for it, of source I was eon strained to substitute something for it myself, and allow me to ask : Do you really think I should per mit the line from Richmond, via Manassas Junction, to be entirely open, except what resistance could be prevented by less than twenty thousand unorganized troops? This is a question which the country will not allow me to evade. There is a curious mystery about the numbers of the troops now with you.- When I telegraphed to you on the 6th, saying you had over a hundred thousand with you, I had just obtained, front the Secretary of. War a statement taken, as he said from your own returns, making 106,000 then with you, and en route to you. You now say you will have but 65,000 when all en route to you shalt have reached you. How can the discrepancy of 23,000 be accounted for I As to General Wool's command, I understand it is doing for you precisely what a like number of your own would have to do, if that command was away. I suppose the whole force which has gone forward for you, is with you by this time, and if so, I think it is the precise time for you to strike a blow. By delay the enemy will relatively gain upon you ; that is, be will gain faster-by fortifications and reinforce ments than you can by reinforcements alone. And once more let me tell you, it is Indispensable to you that you strike a blow. lam powerless to help this. You will do me the justice to remember that I always insisted that going down the Bay in search of a field, instead of fighting at or near Manassfui, was only shifting, and not surmounting a difficulty; that we would find the same enemy and the same or equal entrenchments, at either place. The country will not fail to note, is now noting, that the present hesitation to move upon an entrenched enemy is but the story el 111 repeated. I beg to assure you that I have never written you, or spoken to you, in greater kindness of feeling than now, nor with a fuller purpose to sustain you, so far as in my most anxious judgment I consistently can. But you must act. Yours, very truly, A. LINCOLN. Secretary' Chase and Soldiers , Bounties. A letter from the Secretary of the Treasury to Senator Famenden, relative to appropriations for soldiers' botuaides is published. -The War Depart %en*, he,assieeedimatem that 0,000 veteran volun. tem have been or nitay be enlisted from the armies in the field. Besides these there are volunteers to fill up old regiments, and estimating their number at 50,000, there will ie 100,000 men requiring bowl. ties amounting to $26,750 000 , of which sum about fifteen million dollars will be required during the present year. If these figures are correct, Mr. Chase fs of opinion that appropriations to that extent may be safely made, but he goes on to say: 41 1 must not omit, however, to observe that any additions to the appropriation, demanded by exist ing estimates enhances the difficulty of obtaining the vast sums required to saltine them. I' The first duty of the Republic to its cohliCre And sailors is prompt payments and sure supplies. Pay ments cannot be prompt nor supplies sure if appro priations exceed the probability of certain pron. alone., "The estimates heretofore submitted require from loans for the last seven months of the fiscal year 1864, $362.226,639, or $60,518,079 a month. If vigor, and decision, and earnestness in the work of sup pressing the rebellion shalt be attended with marked progress toward its consummation, these large sums, and the additional sums required for bounties, can probably be obtained at reasonable rates. "But the whole of these additional sums, as well as every other amount added to expenditure beyond estimates, ahould begatied by taxation. No unaer tainty can be safely allowed to attend , the question of prompt payment. Delay of payment and doubts as to its certainty chill the ardor of the beat soldiers, create, dissatisfaction in the minds of dealers with the Government, enhance prices of supplies, and in vite deterioration of their qualities. "I trust, therefore, that the Committee on Finance will accompany aky report that may be made of the resolutions referred to it with some revolution pledging the faith of Congress to raise by taxation, beyond the $161,665,500.35 heretofore estimated as the proportion of thin year's disbursements to be provided for in this mode, every dollar which may be appropriated beyond the estimate - submitted at the commencement of the solution. "AS considerations of prudence and economy re quire thislegislation. It will be impossible to raise large gums in the market unless large sums are also raised by taxation. In the report submitted to ['en gross at the commencement of the minden I ventured to say ;.-‘ It is hardly too much—perhaps hardly enough—to say that 'every dollar raised for extraor dinary expenditures or reduction of debt is worth two in the increased value of national securities and Increased - facilities for the negotiation of indispensa ble loans.' Reflection and observation since. have satisfied me that under our present circumstances the remark is an understatement of the truth.

MY DEAR MARLEY : I wrote you some days since and told you all I thought of at the moment ..that would be of the least interest. "Since writing you we have the report that Sumpter " has been crumbled by shot' and shell, and I very , much fear such is the fact ; and in .the absence of any know ledge of the defence after the fall of Sumpter, I, like every one around me, am forced to the conclusion that Charleston must fall into the hands of the ene my. It will be hard, indeed, but I still have hope. The people in this country are all of the opinion that, with the fall of Charleston, the war is well nigh its end, and all base their operations according ly. lam of your opinion, and believe that this war will only end with the independence of the South in some shape. I have great hope that Prance will at once come to our aid. She will, I doubt not, have settled the Polish difficulty ere this reecho" you, and I have been informed that the Polish trouble alone has been the mute of delay on the part of the Em peror. Can't you see him, and impress upon him the im propriety of allowing twenty millions of people to attack and destroy one-third of their number. who only desire to withdraw from any further associa tion with them t If we had been properly repre sented abroad from the beginning of our troubles, I am satisfied (iniLporta would now be open. That is all we want. Well, I fancy you will do all you can without any suggestions from me. The Yankees do not like the movements of the rebels in Mexico, and say when they get through with the South they will turn their attention to Mexico, We shall see. From all I can learn, fear there is some trouble in North Carolina ; but I fancy nothing of a serious nature. Let me know about the grain crop of Eu rope. I learned today from Mr. Parsons that Briggs paid Mr. Putnam the three thousand.' Mr. Parsons showed me Putnam's receipt for the amount, dated 20th April. Consequently I shall hop on Briggs so . far as that amount is concerned. The clothes, boots , ho., lam after. have agreed with Mennoefor a colt of Dogan'a to match yours, so you will in two years have a pair.

Nothing is impossible with proper means and energy. The latter we would not lack, but the former must be had. I cannot go into particulars at this time, as I expect to be in Europevery soon—say in October—when, if you are still there, I will tell you what can be done, and what not. If you wish to, write me for anything in particu lar upon receipt of this, direst your letter to J. B.

MY DEAR CHARLEY : Your favor of August 26th duly received, with inclosure i the carte de vieites— the beat I ever jaw—in feat, they era perfect, in. decd. Believe me, it was a grateful sight to look at you. You certainly must have engaged the services of the beat artist in Paris, from the appearance of the harness you had on. There are devilish few rebels now a day' that come out rigged in your style. Cammack says if you make your. appearance in the Confederacy in that harness your friends at home will swear you are in league with the enemy. The handkerchiefs, my dear fellow, are the moat beautiful I ever put my eyes upon, and as for the R. crown, I would prefer to live serving that, or any other, rather than live under Yankee rule. Today I firm ly believe. the Southern Confederacy will be recognized by France in lest than sixty days, and in that event the aubseriber will have an opening to make some money. Before I forget it, let me thank you for the kind remembrance of the humble writer. I shall haves glace ease for the hands today. We all drank your health at the Clarendon Hotel. Cammack has been here for some weeks and has had no trouble, and in reply to your inquiry about your coming here, I will say I do not believe you will be in any danger of arrest if you come here quietly'. As for betgeting off with horses, still, I think it would attended with difficulty ; , it might be done. In any event, I think your beet way is to come here and go to Havana, if you can't Cross the Potomac in safety. I can take care of you here, sure, If you will keepyour mouth shut. If you wish to write home, via New York, send your letter to me, under cover, to the care of James Dart Si Co., 28 William street, and I will get them through; You say you have not received anything from. me. I have written three or four times. I trust you will ere long be in receipt of them 'all. I had nothing of much interest to communicate aside from the fact that Grace Walton died on the 4th of August. The colts are flne. I have got another Logan'oolt, to match the last dropped by Grace; so in a year or two you will have a pair. Charley, you ask me to write you. all I know. Well, my dear fellow, I can do that in a very few minutes ; but to write - you all I hear and learn from the Yankee press would take me at least half an hour. To judge front the press, it is a fixed fact that. we are about used up, and must give in soon. In short, it seems to be the opinion of the Union abrtekers that peattewill crown the efforts of the d—d scoundrel Lincoln before the let of January, 1864, but I don't believe a word of - it. They have not yet got Charleston, notwithatanding they have given the walls of Stinipter and Ribultrie hell. My opinion is that Charleston will be destroyed by Gilmore with shell ; that is ties only way they can get it ; but time will tell. , • Why don't Toil see Napileoh - , an *telt= to's* • tion at oncel Giveidm Texas, and 1 that won't repay him, give himell west of the Mississippi rives.

' Will you be able to get ready to go with me on the steamer next week 1 Yours truly, L. G. BOWERS. ONLY ONB HONEST GOVERNMENT AGONY—A PRIMLY• _ LONDON, Oct. 18, 1863. DIY DEAR FAIRER : Your letters of the 9th and 30th of July are the only ones I have had from you up to this time. The one of the 9th reached me but a day or two since. I find it impossible to do any. thing with cotton, as the Government is our comps titor upon a basis of 2% cents per pound at any sea part, tree from all taxes and other charges. They are issuing bonds; in other wordy, agreeing to delb ver cotton as above, at 54., and these bonds are sell ing at 50 cents on the d'ol'lar. It is impossible to conceive by anything I can write—though you have, as I know, a liberal opinion of them on that subject— the amount of swindling going on all the time, and conducted by Government agents. Capt. Bullock is the only one whose name is untarnished. Some of them have made large fortunes. One has a summer residence out of London, and winter one must out of Paris, bought, it is said, and presented him by the house of Isaac Campbell Sr CO. That he is living at the rate of $35,000 a year, I imagine there can be no doubt. With such financial agents to negotiate, and such agents to make the expenditure., how is the Government credit to stand? lam and have been for ten days trying to consummate an arrangement for the purchase of one boat, and it a suitable one can be had I shall buy it, the company to be interested to the extent of 12,000. I have obtained subscriptions in cash to pay for one half, and Henry Lafone, of Liverpool, takes the other. Mafia is to command her, and goes to Sweden to-morrow, with an engineer, to examine and buy her, if she is what is represented. Boats suitable have to be built as a general thing, and the demand for them is so great that they literally com mand the pricey. Boats that were contracted for four months ago and now being finished at a cost of E 13,000, are se lling like hot cakes at from £20,000 20 £25,000. Such boats as I wanted, viz ; 350 feet long in beam, and ii feet hold, with , o horse power, and guaranteed to steam not lees than seventeen mike, are worth from £28,000 to £30,000. I am about to contract for a second boat to be built, to be paid out of the earnings of the first: guaranteed by cotton in the Confederacy ; but I see no reason why I should remain tense her completed. Mr. Lafone :whowill also own one-half—will see her. lam very anxious to get home. 'purchased the secret to make powder out of plaster and hot water, and the man is expected every day here to impart the secret. It will be worth millions to the Government and as much to me. It can be made in ten minute. and shoots wet almost as well as when -dry. - 29riel- have seen. It may, though, be another Benzole catch ; but before I payhira the money I am to make myself and be perfectly satisfied of itsmerits,• then, if I am fool enough to be humbugged, I ought to lose my money. I, Governor Bowers, and the in ventor, will own the patent for the Confederate Stater. Have a caveat flied at once at Richmond. It is made out of nothing but plaster—much as ail the houses in Paris are built of —and boiling water ! I have not seen nor heard of Captain Martin. I presume he purchased a boat in Canada. I would like very much to see him, as I think him the best man I know for the business. It is impossible to .contract to have boats delivered in Bermuda. Earl Russell has decided, if they are the legitimate pro perty of Englishmen, and are caught by the cruisers of the United State s , and they or their cargoes ate Intended for the Confederacy, the seizure and con demnation are proper ! I wanted Battersby to pub lish his letter to him in reference to the consul, but he is as damned a knave and coward as William, with just the tenth of his ability. * * * Yours, Cl. A. L. 41AMAR. An Ovation to Gen. John Morgan in Rich mond—His Escape from Prison and. Ad ventures During Plight—A Remarkable General John Morgan was honored with an ova two, on the 7th, on his arrival at the rebel capital. The following highly interesting account of his escape from the Ohio Penitentiary, and subsequent adventurer, is published In the E'nguirer, It will repay perusal: Their bedsteads were small iron stools, fastened to the wall with hinges. They could be hooked up or allowed to stand on the floor, and, to prevent any suspicion, for several days before any work was attempted, they made it a habit to let them down and sit at their doors and read. Captain Hines superintended the work, while General Morgan kept watch to divert the attention of the sentinel, whose duty it was to come round during the day and ob. nerve if anything was going on. One day this fellow came in while Hokersmith was down under the floor boring away, and, missing him, said, "Where is Ho hersmith ?" The General replied, "He is in my room sick," and immediatelypulled a document out of hi s pocket, and said to him, "Here is a memorial I have drawn up to forward to the Government at Washington ; what do you think of it 1" /The fellow, who perhaps could not read, being highly flat tered at the General's condescension, took it and very gravely looked at it for several mo ments before he vouchsafed any reply. Then, hand ing it bank, he expressed himself higblyplesited with it. In the meantimelHokersmith had been signalled and came uppprofessing to feel "very unwell." This sentinel was the most Moult and dangerous obits• ele in their progress, because there was no telling at what time he would enter during the day, and at night be came regularly every two hours to each cell and inserted a light through the bars of their door, to see that they were quietly sleeping, and frequently after he had completed his rounds he would slip back in the dark, with a pair of india rubber shoes on, to listen at their cells if anything was going on. The General says that he would almost invariably know of his presence by a certain magnetic shudder which it would produce; but for fear that this acute sensi bility might sometimes fail him, he broke up small particles of coal every morning and sprinkled them before the cell door, which would always announce his coming. Everything was now ready to begin the work ; so about the latter part of October they began to bore. All were Wu—one making a rope ladder by tearing and twisting up strips of bedtiok, another making bowie-In:Liver, and another twisting up towels. They labored perseveringly for several days, and after boring through nine inches of cement and nine thicknesses of brick placed edgewise, they began to wonder when they should reach the soft earth. Suddenly a brick fell through What could this mean? What infernal chamber had they reached? It - was immediately entered, and, to their great astonishment andjoy, it proved to be an alochans • her extending the whole length of the row of cell!. Here was an unexpected interposition in their favor. Hitherto they had been obliged to conceal their rub high in their bedtickg, each day burning a propor tionate quantity of straw ; now they had ; room enough for all they could dig. They at once com menced to tunnel at right angles with this air.chant bar, to get through the foundation; and day after day they bored, day after day the blocks of granite were removed, and still the workbefors themseemed interminable. After twenty-three days of unremitting labor, and getting through a granite wall of six feet in thick ness, they reached !the Moil. They tunelled up for some distance, and light began to shine. How glo rious was that light! It announced the fulfilment of their labors, and if Providence would only continue Its favor, they would soon be free. This was the morning of the 26th day of November, 1863. The next night, at twelve o'clock,. was determined on as the hour at which they would attempt their liberty. Each moment that intervened was filled with dread ful anxiety and suspense, and each time the guard entered increased their apprehensions. The General pays he had prayed for rain, but the morning of the 21th dawned bright and beautiful. The evening came, and clouds began to gather. How they prayed for them to increase t If rain should only begin, their chances of detection would be greatly less ened. While these thoughts were passing through their minds, the keeper entered with a -- letter for General Morgan. He opened it, and, what was his surprise, and I may say wonder, to find it from a poor Irish woman of his acquaintance in Kentucky, commencing : "My dear Glared, I feel certain yon are going to try to sit out of pri i on, but for your sake doxilt you try it, my dear Gnral. You win only be taken prisoner agin, and made to suffer more than you do now." The letter then went on to speak of his kindness to the poor when he lived at Lexington, Mid eon. eluded by again exhorting him to trust in God and wait his time. What could this mean? No human being on the outside had been informed of his lutest Lion to escape, and yet, just as all things were ready for him to make the attempt, here comes a letter from Winchester, Ky.', advisWg him not to " fry IV) This letter had pasted through the examining office of General Mason, and then through the hands of the lower officials. What if it should excite their suspicion, and cause them to exercise an increased vigilance? The situation, however, was desperate. Their fate could not be much worse, and they re. solved to go. Nothing now remained to be done but for the General and Colonel Dick Morgan to change cells. The hour approached for them to be locked up. They changed coats, and, each stood at the other's sell door with his back exposed, and pre. tended to be engaged in making up their beds. /as the turnkey entered they "turned in" sad pulled their doors shut.

The General had, by paying $l5-in gold, succeeded in obtaining a paper which •informed hint of the schedule time of the different roads. The clock etc uok one, and he knew by hurryieg he eoubt relish the down train for Cincinnati. He got there ae the train was moving Ott He at once look up to see if there were any soldiers on board, and espying a Union officer, he boldly walked up and took a Seas beside him. He remarked to him that "as the night was damp end chilly perhaps he would join hiss tat a drink." He did so, 'and the party soon beams very agreeable to each other. The ears in Growling the e*ota hew .te Tame within a short distance of the Penitentiary, they passed, the officer me marked, "There'll: the hotel at - which Morgan and bin officers are spending their leisure." "Yea," plied the General; "and I sincerely hope he will make up his mind to board there during the balsams of the war, for be Is a great nuisance." When the train reached Xenia it was detained by some aced dent more than an hour. Imagine his anxiety, am soldier after soldier would pass through the train. for fear that when the sentinel passed his round at two oleic& their absence might be discovered. The train Was due in Cincinnati at 0 o'clock. Tide was the hour at which they were turned out of their cells, and of course their escape would be then dig covered. In a few moments after it would be known all over the country. The train, having been detain- ed at Xenia was running very rapidly to make up the time. It was already part 8 o'clock. The Gene gal said to Capt. Hines, "It is after six ; it we got. the depot we are dead men. Now or never !" They went to the rear and put on the brakes. "Jump,. Hines !" Off he went, and fell heels-overhead W. the mud. Another severe turn of the brake and the General jumped. He was more suc ce ssful: and lighted on his feet. There were some soldiers near. who remarked, "What in the h=l do you mean by jumping off the cars here?" The General replied. "What in the d—l is the use of my going into town when I live here ; and, beside, what business is it of yours?" They went immediately to the river. They found a Miff, but no oars. Soon a little boy came over, and appeared to be waiting. "What are you wait ing for?" said the General. "I am waiting for my load." "Whet is the price of a load?" " Two de l. lays." "Well, as we are tired and hungry, we will give you the two dollars, mid you gran put us over." So over he took them. Ts Where does Miss live 1" "Just a short distance from here." " Will you show me her house?" "Yes, sir." The house was reached, a fine breakfast was soon obtained, money and a horse furnished a _good woman's prayer bestow Kentucky everyb od y From them, for. ward through other as towho shogld show him the most attention, even to the newer ; and young ladies of refinement begged the honor to cook hie meals. He remained in Kentucky some days feeling per fectly safe, and sending into Louisville for many little things he wanted. Went to Bardstown and found a Federairegiment had just arrivedthere look ing for him. Remained here and about for three or four days, and then struck out for Dixie, sometimes disguising himself as a Government cattle contract or, and buying a large lot of :rattle, and at other times a quartermaster, until be got to the Tennessee river. Here he found all means of transportation destroyed, and-the bank strongly guarded, but, with the assistance of about thirty others, who had re cognised him and joined him in spite of his remon strances, he succeeded in making a raft, and he and Capt. Hines crossed Oyer. His escort, with heroic selemicrifice, refused to cross until he was safely over. He then hired a negro to get his horse over. paying him $2O for it. The river was so high that the horse came near drowning, and, after more than one hour's struggling , with the stream, was pulled out so exhausted as namely to be able to stand. The General threw a blanket on him and com menced to walk him, when suddenly, he says, he was seized with a presentiment that he would be at tacked, and remarking to Captain-Hines, " We will be attacked in twenty minutes," commenced sad. Ming his horse. He had hardly tied his girth, when "bang, bang," went the mince balls. He bounced his horse, and the noble animal, appearing to be in spired with new vigor, bounced off like a deer up the mountain. The last he saw of his poor fellows on the opposite side they were disappearing np the river bank, fired upon by a whole regiment of Yen. ken. "By this time it was dark, and also raining. lie knew that a perfect cordon of pickets would surround the foot of the mountain, and it he re. mained there until morning he would be lost. So he determined to run the gauntlet at once, and coin. menced to descend. As he neared the foot, lead. big his horse, he came almost in personal contact with a picket. His first impulse was to kill him, but finding him asleep he determined to let him sleep on. He made his way to the house of a Union men that he knew lived there, and went up sad phased himself off as captain quarter. nmeter.oti i nnt's reglment,'Whei was on his way to Athens, n. to procure supplies of sugar and Goa. fee for the nion people of the country. The lady, who appeared to be asleep while this interview was taking place with her husband, at the mention of auger and 'coffee, jumped out of bed in her night clothes, and said : "Thank God for that, for we ain't seen any rale coffee up here for God known how long !" She was so delighted at the prospect that she made up a fire and cooked them a good supper. Supper being over, the General remarked that be understood some rebels had "tried to arose the river this afternoon." "Yes," said the woman. "but our men killed some un urn, and driv the rest back." "Now," says the General. is I know that, but didn't some of them get over?" " Yes," was her reply, "but they are on the mountain and can't get down without being killed as every road int stopped up." He then maid to her: "It is very int portant for mete get to Athens by to-morrow night, or I may lose that sugar and coffee, and I am afraid to go down any of these roads, for fear my own men will kill me." The fear of losing that sugar and coffee brought her again to an accommodating mood, and she re. plied : " Why, Paul, kan't you show the Captain through our farm, that road down by the lied'?" The General says, "Of course, Paul, you can do it, and as the nightie very cold, I will give you in (in gold) to help you along." The gold, and the prop peat of auger and coffee, was too much for any poor man's nerves, and he yielded, and, getting on a horse, he took them seven miles to the big road. From this time forward he had a series of adven tures and escapee, all very wonderful, until he got near another river in Tennessee, when he resolved to go up to a house and find the way. Hines went to the house, while the General stood in the road. Hearing a body of cavalry come dashing up behind him, he quietly slipped to one side of the road, audit parsed by without observing him. They went tra velling after Hines, and, poor fellow, he has not been heard of since. How sad to think that he !should be either captured or killed, after so many brave efforts, not only in his own behalf, but also in that of the General, for the General says that it is owing chiefly to Hines' enterprise and skill that they made their escape. When he arrived at the river referred to above, he tried to get over, intending to stop that night with a good Southern man on the other side. - He could not get over, and bad to stop at the house of a Vnion man. The next morning he went to the house that he had sought the night previous, and found the track of the Yankees scarcely cold. They had been there all night, expecting that he would come there, and had murdered everybody who had attempted to reach the house, without hailing them. In pursuing this brutal course they had killed three young men, neighbors of thisigentleman, and went away, leav ing their dead bodies on the ground. After he had crossed Okay's river, and got down into Middle Tennessee, be found it almost impos sible to avoid recognition. At one time he passed some poor women, and one of them commenced clapping her hand., and said,"" Oh, I know who that is, I know who that is l" but, catching herself, she stopped short, and passed on with her companions. The general says thatilis escape WAX made entirely Without assistance from any one on the outside, and, so far as he knows, also without their knowledge of his intention; that the announcement of his ar rival at Toronto was one of those fortuitous coinci dences that cannot be accounted for ; that it assisted bim materially, no doubt. In fact, he says that his "wife ' s prayers " saved him, and, as this is the most agreeable way of explaining it,he is determined to believe it. The above account may be relied on as correct; and, although much has been left out, yet enough is printed to stamp it as one of the most remarkable escapes In history. The Danish Difficulty Explained. Punch observes: Young persona who dine out. and wish to be conoidered well-informed young diners out, must desire to be able to answer, in a few simple words, the question so frequently put no to the reel vane of the difficulty about the' King of Denmark's succession to the Schles wig-Holstein duchies. • Mr. Punch will ein plain the matter in a moment. The case is this fling Christian, being an agnate , Is the eel lateral heir male of the German Diet, and eons.- quently the Duchy of Holstein, being mediatised, could only have ascended• to the Landgravine•ol Hesse in default of consanguinity in the younger branch of the Sonderburg•Gluoksburgh, and there fore Schleswig, by the , surrender of the Duke of Saxe•Coburg Goths, was acquired as a fief in re mainder by the morganatic marriage of Frederlok NriL This is clear enough, of course. The difth. fluffy, however, arises from the fact that while the Danish protocol of 1852, which was drawn up by Lord Palmerston, but signed by Lord Malmesbury, repu dieted ex post facto the claims of Princess Mary, of Anhelt, as remaindermoman to the Eleotoress of Augustenburg, it only operated as a uti poi/Melte ill reference to the interests of Prince Christian, of SchlemwilpHoistein-Sonderburg•Glucksburg, while Baron Bunsen', protest against Catholicism, under the terms of the Edict of Nantes, of course barred' the whole of the lineal ancestry Of the Grand Duke from claiming by virtue of the clause of the Pragmatic Sanction. The question im, there. fore, exhaustively reduced to a very narrow cow pass, and the dispute simply is, whether an agnate Who Is not consanguinous can as a Lutheran, hold a fur which is clohed by melliatisation with the character of a neutral belligerent. This is racily all that is at issue, and those who seek, to compli• cats the ease by introducing the extraneous stater went, true, no doubt, in itself that the Princess of Wales, who is the daughter o 1 the present King of Denmark made no public renunciation of either of the duch ies. or the ivory hair brushes, when she dined with Lord Mayor Rose , are simpl y endeavor ing to throw dust in the eyes of Europe.'
