Gen. Grant Was at Meade's headquarters yester
day, and, In company with Generale Burnsideund
Meade, rode down toward City Point, undoubtedly
with some good intention, that will make itself
known in due time. The headquarters of General
Grant aro at City Point, but he, is seen every day
riding about with his staff. He visits the lines of

balled with delight by our soldiers .who love him'

A few days since the General was walking around:

crusty lieutenant, who stood-near, dressed in his.
fine blue clothes, shouted,- "Yon d—n Diggers,:
Push birder or go get another man to help- you I".
Withoutsaying a word, Gin. Grant -pulled up his
sleeves and helped the negroesroll.the.barrelon,the
boat; then he drew his Silk handkerchief from -his'
poeket and wiped his bands, then moved quickly'
away. YOu may Imagine how that second lieutenant
felt when he was told that the stevedore was no less
than the Commander ln-Chief of the United States

It really inakeg the heart sick to see the degrade
thin in which the poor people live in this neighbor
hotel' It can, in fact; be said that they de:not live,
but only.stay. Those who live within a radius of
eight miles draw all theirrations from the Quarter

oyes Of in, aged poor lady living. about Rix
Miles is th'eidir of our cehtral line. She had par
taken of nothing to eat for two days._ Her husband
had been dead kir nrany.years, and her little yearly

men nett:, set fire to her cabin, for where then could
she go on the face of the earth. The .man-bad a
lighted piece of wood in his hand, and, at the , piteous

her home unburned, with the understanding that he .
shEtild rifle the house, and according to the story, of.

upon.theiltiraiame of our cause. This old lady was
in search of food, and t.she had walked all the way,
with the prospect of no other means of getting to
her home.. Instances have been known where our
guards, who have been placed to pracet the proper
ty of resident families, have turned vandals them
selves, and plundered:thehouses of everything valua
ble wantonly destroying that which thoy . could not
take away. General Hancock < occupies the
house of a wealthy. •planter, named Jones, and
everything within, the ::residence is precisely the
same as *when he left it. The piano, which i 3
a teautiful one, sitting in one corner of the
parlor,has not, is , i - et, been - even played upon. The'
owner of the property Is still within -our lines; but
does not occupy:his house.: The only thing . that
'seems to.be a matter of complaint with-him is that

,that their growth,
mentally speaking, should be coequal with those resi

places near Petersburg,"are superior to
,their mas

better idea of farms and farm lands. The general
expectation among all planters in section is that
the North will conquer the South, and. put the no

The idea is certainly a good one, especially since it
has had its birth in the "knowledge boi" of a ge
nuine Southron.
The notorious Edinund Ruffin, Sr., who had tho
disgrace to boast that he, fired the drat gun on Fort
Sumpter, is a native of this county, and is noted as
being ono of the most vile and..degenerato of men.
Ile has several times been in tho jail of Prince
George county ; and as a landlord, was ono of the
most cruel and, exacting wretches that could well
live. .Persons here who know him well say that he
was 'frequently arrested for cruelly beating his wife,
and on ono occasion he was taken prisoner to Peters
burg for having flayed alive two of his negro
women; who he had stripped naked and tied up.by
the`thumbs, while he administered the blows with
his own hand. Lot the world know, therefore, that
the man who volunteered to lire the first gun upon
the flag. of the United States was Ed win Ruffin,
Sr., a jail-bird and wife-boater, born in Prince
George county, Virginia. lie is a Bled man in the

consequence of this is, that their troopOite

reliance indeed. Since the cutting of tho
the troops have generally been despondent, much
more so than ever before. They have not the inert'

posed only of old men and young boys, so that'

Illy be spared at this juncture, which he considers ;
the crisis of the Confederacy's life. Tho
prevailing in Petersburg, according to this deserter,
Is that we can cut and hold tits road at any timi - we
may see fit, and It is the acknowledgment . of 'this
fact that so intensifies the grief of the rebels. If yr&
see proper to throw our left there for the main
tenance of ' authority on the road, it,will`be
impossible for them to gain supplies. Tho
Vir
ginla Central is, of course, useless, and, 'in:
deed, were it in proper condition, It would be of
no use in the important question of food; for that
section of Virginia has been drown upon time and
again for a, development of Its resources, while for
the past eighteen months it has been used by them
selves as important points of strategy. In reply to
the question put to him as to what ho thought their
authorities would do, ho replied - that ho could not
tell fitwas a mystery to him ; but at this moment
they feared starvation more than they did our bul
lets. It was hinted that the lesson untaught by,,the
ono wes generally well attended to by the other.
He concurred In the opinion. Re says that the
hotels In Georgia charge seventy-two dollars per
day. They have no glass tumblers or knives upon
the tables. ' The places of the former are supplied
by common flower vases, with the orifice eorked.
Substitutes for the latter are found in common
pen-knives, which beggar all description, some of
them looking as though they might be used for
sickles, beingof the true bowie order ;others looking
so frail and sickly that they would refuse to clip the
quilk9f any over:lntelligent Southern lass who had
tu
acally learned to write. Scarcely a hews In the
• Southern States 1 blessed with carpets, most of
them having been seized by the Confederate des
pots to use as blankets for their soldiers. Tho de
serter thinks that if we take Petersburg, Lee will
withdraw from the fortifications of Richmond and,
go into Mirth Carolina. '

THE ALABAMA.
More :thou t the Ithrtal Combat—& Graphic
Deficriptlon by an Officer of the Hear-
An officer of the Konroarge, who was on board the
vessel during her into combat with the Alabama,
writes as follows to the 13oston Traveller:
Our ship, the Koarserge, was laying at Flushing,
Holland, when we received a telegram from Minis
ter Dayton (Paris), stating that the Alabama had
arrived at Cherbourg. We immediately put to sea
with all haste, and came down here, taking the Ala
bama quite by surprise by
,the suddenness of our
appearance upon her track. Wo remained outside
this port, bat communicated with the consular agent
here, and through him we received a sort o(eital
lenge from Semmes, who stated that if we remained
elf the port he Would come out and tight us. Also,
that he would not detain as long.
We cruised off the port five days; until the 10th of
Juno. when our perseverance in guarding the port
was rewarded, and we saw the much-vaunted starry
ensign floating on the breeze, as ,the Alabama came
boldly Out under the escort of the French Iron-clad
" La Couronne." . The latter retired Into port after
seeing the combatants outside of French waters.'
The Alabama' came down upon us at full speed
until within a distance of about three-quarters of ..a.
mile r when she opened her guns, upon ..us. We did
not reply for several minutes, but ranged up nearer,
and then opened our starboard battery, fighting six
guns, and leaving, only ono 32-pounder 'ldle. The
Alabama fought seven guns, working - them with the
greatest rapidity, sending shot and shell In a con
stant stream over our heads. Both. vessels used
,their `starboard 'batteries, the ships 'being ,maucou
vred In a circle about each other at a- distance of
from five hundred to one thousand yards.
Our shot,' partMularly the DAIWA shells, made
fearful havoc among the enemy. The first ono
killed three med and wounded nearly the wholo
gun's CUM where it exploded; Finally, we placed a
shot In the redder-Part of the Alabama, disabling to
some extent her steering apparatus. Almost' at the
same time another of our shots entered her coal
bunker, abreast of her engine, forcing the bunker
inboard, and showering the machinery 'with coal,
which prevented her irons making progress for a
short time, when she set her sails to the breeze, and
tried to run in toward the French shore.
We were on the watch, and by a rapid movement
headed Fier off, and got into lighting position on her
port on weak side—a very successful and decisive
manteuvre. On that ride she had but one gun, and
we gave our broadside Into her with the greatest
precision, doing fearful damage to her hull. We
shot away her Ilag, but in a few minutes it 'it was run
up again at her mizzen truck. A short time longer
we kept up our cannonade, when she hauled describer
nag, and we ceased tiring.
In ittew minutes she gave us, vary unexpectedly,
a couple Of shots more, and again we opened our
batteries upon her. This, however, continued but a
very short time, for she soon showed a white flag,
token of surrender, and sent a,boat on board or us
to ask assistance in saving. the wounded, as she was
In a sinking condition. We immediately launched
two boats, the other two having been riddled by
shot, and sent for the wounded, but beibro the boats
got alongside the omit, formidable Alabama settled
by the stern, thrust her bow far out of water, and
then disappeared beneath the waves, earryingdowa
no one will ever know how many of the poor victims.
Previouslyto this, after the firing had ceased, and
it was evident that the Alabama was sinking, an
English steam yacht, which had been observing the
fight at a distance, came up alongside of us,•and
asked permission to assist In picking up the wound
ed. Of course it was granted, as an act of humanity,
but by'so doing we were robbed of half the fruits of
our hard-earned contest ; for the yacht moved up
ahead of us, lowered her boat, picked up Semmes
and several of his officers and crow, and then, stood
away with all hasto for the English coast. Then we
saw through the ruse that Semmes had no doubt
planned beforehand for his escape in case of his de
feat, but we could not follow anti leave the poor un
fortunat es still in tho water, so we remained by them
until all were picked up. Thereafter we steamed
into this port, and came to anchor.
We had picked np in our boats sixty-five of her
crew and firemen, and five officers living and one
dead. Of the men fifteen were seriously wounded,
two dying on board of us. 'We had only three men
eoverely wounded. As soon is we came into Cher
bourg the wounded men wereall sent to tho hospi
tal, as our accommodations on board were not so
convenient for their.proper treatment. We paroled
all the other prisoners except the officers, forme
were unable to keep so many on board, or send them
to the States.
According to the account of the master of the
British steam-yacht (Deerhound), she.lunded 40 at
Southampton. Probably this is exaggerated ; but
taking it as true, and adding those we picked up
and nine width a French pilot boat rescued, there
are about 120 accounted for, leaving over 80 who In
evitably went down with her when she sunk. The
°Dicers of the Alabama say they numbered on
board about 160 all told, but they give no account of
those who joined her after she arrived here at Cher.
bourg. The number of these will never be known,
but several of the most experienced gunners of the
English naval reserve icent on board (he niotti before
the action on purpose to point the guns. They were
old, practiced seamen, who had seen service In the
En fish navy, and were supposed to be able to sink
the Kearsarge or disable her guns In half an hour.
Semmes promised - them that before noon they
should be on board of us.
,
During the action we fired 173 shots. Tbe A.labima
certainly fired many more. At the first part of the
action she fired two shots to our one, but such rat..
pidity of tiring web only accomplished at the ex
„pens° of accuracy. Our shoti were fired with as
tonishing precision, and wrought fearful havoc on
the enemy. We were struck fourteen times in our
hull, and an equal number of times in our rigging.
Two shots struck our chain armor abreast of our
boiler, but 'did not enter the ship. Another 100-
pound rifled shell struck under the stern, anti glanc
ing downOodged our rudder-post, where it still .
remains, too firmly imbedded-to be removed. !..For
• tunately, the shell did not explode. Had t,

was at the latter part of the action that ,tve received
tha-taton..,..stiii, had it exoloded, tin fate of the
• Hearsarge might have boon artilllar tbltiat'of the
Alabama.
Another shell struck our smoke-pipe, about eleven
feet above the deck, and eiploded, tearing a hole
three feet in diameter, and covering me and my ; '
men with a shower of fragments of iron, but none of
us were much injured.
The Kearsarge was not In the least degree endan
gered by the missiles she received. We are in as
good order as ever, and ready'for another term of
service on the high seas. Our object in coming into
Cherbourg was to land the wounded, and 'we have
remained hero to patch up our smoke-pipe.
Our commander, Captain Winslow; after the
notion was over, and during the afternoon, had all
hands mustered' on the quarterdeck, and there was
offered solemn prayer and thanksgiving to God,
who had given us so signal a victory.
THE ALABAMA AND EFIARSARGE
CTrom The Plare de La Manche, a Cherbourg paper.]
Let us begin by counting the killed and wounded—
we were going to say of our killed and our wounded,
so general and deep is the emotion here. The (Jon.
federate vessel had a crew of 122 men and 22 officers ;
it was commanded by Mr. Semmes, SO years old,
Every one has heard of this vessel, which has been
cruising for the last two years, and of her captain,
who formerly commanded the Sumpter. Some of
our officers, both naval and military, have Wit
nessed; the first during their eunpaign in Mex
ico, the others , . during their stay in Algeria, the feats
of flaring performed by Mr. Semmes. The thin
skinned may say what they will ; we are the towns
folk of Snreonf. The people of Cherbourg, who
have seen Capt. Semmes, say that his martial coun
tenance, with long mustaches, reminds them of
Gen. Allard, that soldier exiled from France, Min
ister and General of Runjeet Sing, who organised,
and so Wig as ho lived preserved, the independence
of the Punfaith.
The commandant of the Kearsarge, named Wins
low, is a Southern man, but he has embraced the
cause of the North. Re and Mr. Semmes formerly
served on board the same ship.
Three of the crew of the Alabama died of their
wounds on board the Kearsarge ' - amputation had
been performed on all three. There .are eleven
wounded with fractures and burning at the hospital,
but they will be saved.
As far as we know, only one officer, the surgeon,
Dr. Llewellyn, perished, swallowed up as he finish
ed dressing the, wound of a man who was saved.
Another wounded officer, picked up by Major
General Rose's bOat, died on board of it. Five Offi
cers were saved by the pilot Manger. We offer him
and his crew Ate expressions of gratitude which are
the due of such self-deitotion. These five officers
were' anded in the . afternoon, and among them
,Mr. Armstrong, with a slight contusion on the
!eft side, caused by a fragment of a shell. The
pilot. Manger landed also seven men whom he had
picked up.
In the evening fifty-two of the - Alabama's men,
who were on board the Kearsarge, were landed;
whether by order of the French authorities in eon
.formitv with the law of nations, or following tele
graphic instructions sent by Mr. Dayton, we do not
know. It may have been rendered necessary by the .
'condition of the Kearsarge. We are ignorant of
this, as well as of the number of wounded on the
Federal vessel. We are also uncertain whether
among the clever gunners of this ship there are not
some - French deserters, recruited at Brest, where
the Kearsargelnade a long stay. We guarantee
the above facts.
On the evening of Saturday about 10 o'clock,
Captain Semmes said to M. "I am, like
petrol Catholic • I shall not td-Morrow be able to
attend service. 'Have a mass said for me, and hear
It for my intention."
The request was roligiously.obeyed.
What was the respective strength of the corn
batantsl The Hearsarge is of a stronger build, the
engine wns protected by an armor of chains, ropes,
and teak. The Alabama had eight guns, six guns
on the starboard, one In the bows, and ono in the
stern. The six were 30-pounders the stern chase
gun 58, that in the bows 100. The k earsargo carries
seven guns, but two of them aro 150-pounders.
HAD FAITH OF THE ArABAXit'S OFFICEitS.
It is possible that Captain Semmes will deny that
he authorized a surrender, as this is the only excuse
he can give for his thus breaking all the rules of of
vtlized warfare: but all the officers and men taken
distinctly agree; that the Alabama was surrendered.
Here is another sample of the bad faith Qf the: ,
Alq

MAW Yourc, July 9,1881
THE COLLECTORSHIP.
The reetgisation'of Mr. Chase will, it is believed,
produce greater revolutions in political office than
was at first apprehended. From day to day rumors
Of the resignation of Mr. Barney, the collector of
this port, have been Current. Starting in unknown
or unappreciable quarters, without possessing that
ex cathedra character which gives weight and conse
quence to such flying gossip, the public has perhaps
accorded to them less importance than they may
have demanded. It N now stated, upon authority
seemingly good, that to case Mr. Barney should not
resign, be will be removed; With or without pretext,
and that Simeon Draper will receive the appoint
ment. Should events justify this plausible story,
there will doubtless be a thorough revolutionizing
of the department, Mr. Draper bearing the repu
tation of a gentleman who Is devoted to progress,
although the term Is not exactly synonymous with
'reform. Mr. 'Wakeman's name has been frequently
mentioned in the same connection. Some time
ago—such was the current gossip—the latter inau
gurated vigorous efforts for the displacement of Mr.
Barney, and his own substitution. These efforts, if
they were made, failed.
Whether Mr. Barney is or is not to be removed,
it is very certain that a prehensile spirit is abroad
in political circles, and that numerous gentlemen
of importance are persistently awaiting a call to
the collectorship, with Its patronage and emolu
meet. The port may gain a better politician, but It
will never gain a more thorough gentleman.
JOWN OLANCY, DECEASED.
The late John Clancy was a gentleman of singular
suavity of manner; a man with a great, full heart,
and the most kindly Interests. Possessed of talents
calculated to attract the attention rather of social
than of public circles, except those which he ex
°nisei, as a politician, he had gained no peculiar
repolatlon - for his_Cdntrlbutions to the press.
His tastes were elegant and somewhat exacting.
His sanctum was a model in its way, and by far the
most attractive In the city. A little room, perched
high above the narrow street, and yet within hear
ing of the great bustle and tumult of the city, it was
characteristic of the thought:and feeling of the man.
Hung with a few artistic bljous; here a bit of bright
ly-colored landscape, there n portrait, a. few books,
and on the table a handful of pretty Insignificance&
It was a sort of hermitage—a place where the man
of letters would find attraction and Inspiration,
Pew people comprehend that the brainand a man's
surroundings are often in genuine rapport, and that
the former taker its tone from the latter, It is hard
to play the gentleman when the eye rests only upon
the tangible circumstance of the vagabond. Mr.
Glancy was a sincere lover of the metropolis. The
man who pleased hlm best was be who was most
thoroughly conversant with the singular•develop
ments of metropolitan life. Of these he never grew
tired, and his admirable paper was almost a result
of this passion.
TRH GOVERNOR VERSUS THE I`RESIDENT.
Some excitement exists regarding Governor Sey
mour's proposed State draft. The recent indications
which have been given of an intention to push the
prosecution of General Dix, on behalf of the injured
feelings of the Governor's truly obliged and most
devoted newspapers, are received as symbolical of a
determination to bring the State military force to
bear upon the General Government. If such sup
positions are correct; if Governor Seymoni has
made up his mind to bring about a—state of things
which shall result in another. collision between the
Society of "Friends" and the United States forces;
he may possibly ascertain tharthe Government has
more powerful and certabilyeleanor adherents than
the Copperheads who last year held-their carnival
of bloodshed and havoc In our streets.•:..l"he signs of
the times are pregnant, and with the ,divelopment
of every premonitory symptom of troublr,.the pub
lic apprehension keeps pace. Underneakh the'hol
low crust of a seeming non-apprehension, exists, as
Carlyle once wrote, "not a world, but a chaos"—a
Chaos, the elements of which mean violent disrup
tion, and the kindling of passions easy to evoke, but
hard tO soothe again into dormancy.
It is now proposed that minute-men should be or
ganized from among our respectable citizens : in
Short, that we should stand prepared, lest, if once
again the drunken . butcheries of men and women
pour out from their pestilent dens with axe and
torch, they Shall find us as they found us In July,
folding our hands In stupid horror, powerless and
•
Overcome.
,Perhatis, after all, speculation upon matters like
this is useless. It seems scarcely credible that Go
vernor Seymour desires bloodshed in our streets, as
he saw it In July, or cares to see the flames dabbling
the sky with their furnace glare by night. Yet he
must know that so surely as the mobocrats can base
upon any net of his a single hope for the successful
reinauguration of their murderous orgies, so surely
will they again rise from every loathsome street in
the city—and so surely will the citizens rise upon
them In extermination, wittia dogged, sleuth-hound
persistency, which will never rest until tle last po;
nalty has been exacted. •
• --- TVEATRTCXr: -
The theatrical record of the past week has been
one of considerable interest. The "summer sea- -
sons" promise fairly. Miss Lucille Western com
mences an engagement at Nlbla's on Monday eve
ning, when the long-evaporated ". Sea of Ice" is to
be produced. On the same evening, her sister,
Helen., Western, commences at the Broadway Thea
tre with the "French Spy." This twin announce
ment will indicate the manner in which the pro
vinces raid upon the city in the hot months. A.
habeas corpus issued from WaHack's is soon "to
have-and produce" the wretched old Jewess
"Leah" at that house. The play is old enough to
be called Methuse-Leah. The actors and actresses,
especially the latter,. having suddenly discovered
that managers are not over benevolent, are forming
themselves into a mutual protection society. Au
interested are called upon to meet at the Astor
House, on Monday, then and there .to consider
future prospects and methods of action. At the
present rates of compensation it will soon become
necessary for managers to introduce into all con
tracts a covenant, on the part of the actress, that
she will not 'die of starvation during her engage
ment, otherwise such folly must be anticipated.
SENSATIONAL ADVERTISEMENTS
Paris has long been notorious for the complex and
sensational qualities of its advertisements ; but New
York is in a fair way to rival even the Encyclopedia:
City. Here is an extract from ono which is being
sown broadcast at the present time.. It refera to a
new method of cure, and "consists, in conjunction
with constitutional treatment, in the application of
medicines directly to ,the affected parts in the form
of Nebula , . of Floatin-gexslccated-soluble end ab
sorbable atoms by inhalation and insufflation. By
this moans the congested or inflamed or ulcerated
mucous medlbrnne, or the tneipient cell changes,
resulting in tubercular deposit, or the suppurating
surfaces of tubercular cavities receive an appre
ciable, an immediate and fixed medication, which,
both in consequence of physical and chemical im
possibilities, neither the watery vapor nor the gases
can ever accomplish." Thii is better than Beppo
Balsaruats famous rigamarole; and a person who
has any of these things about him can fultrunder
stand therefrom the proper method of treatment.
It may not be generally known that many of our
sensational advertisements are the productions of
recognised men of letters, not, perhaps, of the high
.est grade, still members of the distinctive literary
class. "The retired physician, whose sands of life
aro nearly run out," as they should have been long
ago, owed his rather questionable reputation to the
adroitness of one of these adroit writers. A well
known cloak merchant employed a genuine poet in
the construction of his poetical advertisements and
handbills. Of course, the advertising press is
"strictly impersonal ;" and the authors of such va
grant productions are rather studious In concealing
their connection with the success of nostrums and
the tailoring business.
Thehearingin the case of Marshal Marrayon the
motion to quash the indictment against him ' tot kid
napping Colonel Arguelles, came up this morning In
the General Sessions Court.
Mr. Brady, counsel for Marshal Murray, stated
that, finding that proceedings wore commenced by
the Grand Jury, he would withdraw his motion, and
either plead not guilty or put in a special plea with

Judge Fussell thought the case might go over

The rebel raid Irito Maryland was the chief topic
of discussion among the brokers on Saturday, and
interfered in no little degree with the routine of
business. As the invasion had not assumed the pro
portions which reached us after business hours, of
course it had not the intense effect that one might
expect. However, there was a general depression,
and stocks suffered a material decline. Gold,
as will be seen by the quotations, moved steadi
ly upward during the day, commencing at
263 and closing at 213. The loans of the United
States; State, and City were very quiet.
The transactions in shares were at a further de
cline. Reading Railroad closed at l)4 below Fri
day's figure, and Pennsylvania Railroad was sold at
a decline of l ; Philadelphia and Erie and Northern
Central were also lower; Catawissa preferred was

The followingtue the latest financial advices front
New Orleans, under date of June 30 :
The commercial week closes to-day at higher
prices for most articles In our general' market, and
at a further Improvement In our leading staple, in
particular, of 10 )15c on our advanced quotations of
last Thursday,whiett were, however, nearly or quite
5c too low. Later accounts from New York s having
failed to confirm the reports yesterday with regard
to tho Wall-street market, gold closes dull ant
drooping at a falling off of $l5 per $lOO on the ex
treme rates paid early In the morning, and foreign
exchange so completely unsettled that quotations
for It are entirely nominal.
The gold market opened at higher rates, and the
sales and re-sales during the early part of the day
included slo'.ooo, $15,000, and $25.000 at 230, $4,000 at
231 i and $5,000 at 232, $5,000 at 232.1,f, and $5,000 at
the extreme rate Of ZS, but after the receipt of news
quoting' the New York market on the 23d and 24th.
at 2126215 ns buying, and 215f3220 as selling rates,
prides at once receded, and the only transactions re
ported were a lot of less than $l,OOO at 219, and
$3,000 at 220. Dealers paid from2lo up to 220 for the
small suns offered at their counters. Nothing was
reported in silver, which rules B@io per cent. less
than gold; for-Arrierican half-dollars. Mexican dol
lars are In request for shipment to New York, at
about the gold premium.
Foreign exchange continues so completely unset
tied as to prevent 'regular quotation. One of the
banks drew for small sums at 255 for sterling and
240 for francs, and a 61. k-class private bill for a simi
lar amount sold for 245,but these figures can hardly
be regarded as indications of the rates when the
movement IS resumed.
