(Boatel Correspondence of The Press.] _ DlEWBERifik:iff., September 16, 1864. Everything Is in stritteitto here at present; if I may be allowed to except the occasional arrival and de partttre of troops. The 9th Vermont Vol. Infantry, Ridgely'oommanding, left for home on the 12th inst. a The regiment has re-enlisted, and goes home on twenty days' furlough. The colonel is amen highly respected by all his brother - of:deers; and much loved by his men..., l Tilli other , officers are yery. .highly spoken of, and I am assured that the entire regi ment is One Of the finest that as ever stationed at this "place. So much for the "Green Mountain boys."- They never bring dishonor to their State. Ari attempt was made on the morning of the 12th: Inst. to blow up , the train running from this place to • Batohelor's creek, by. placing a torpedo on the track ; but very fortunitelysit failed—merely by ac cident,'t hough, I imagine. An excavation was made under the ties,•in which' the torpedo was so placed that the weight of the train upon the ties would : cause it to explode. - The explosion occurred direct ly under the locomotive, taseing . off Pine side, being probably placed too near the end of the ties. No serious damage was done, merely tearing up the track, and jOstling the train considerably. The superintendent informs me that the track Is ex amined very closely, every morning, but this had been so nicely arranged as to defy detection. The enemy haVe not been near the road lately, and the orinie' can be attached to no one but the serill-Cdre federate citizens' living thereabout, and I am in formed that they are numerous, and at times very outspeken.l , • Why it is that these persons, known to hold senti ments in antagonism to the . Government; are al- lowed'to peaceably remain where so many lives and So much property aro in jeopardy, is a questiod. It may be a good.policy to be lenient to rebels who are not orabreaking, but under such circumstances as' these 1 - think'it must be a mistaken one. The late-disaster to 'the steamer Fawn reveals a very loose state of• affairs in that direction. It has been the custom to. send almost . .all mails and other valuables, with whatever paisongers there might be, by this route, with - out any protection whatever, even after boats had been repeatedly captured and sunk. 'The inhabitants along the canal hare ever been noted - for their hatred to the Federal cause, . and to them a good share of the blame has hereto fore been laid; yet no measures were taken to pre vent repetitions. The Fawn had a very large mail for the forces and fleet in this district, with some Government stores aridrooriey, but how much is not yet known. The force that captured her was small, and had laid in ambush at that place, for several days, intending to capture her, as she went up, but being under eon• voy of a steamer loaded with negro recruits, whom ttey mistook for soldiers, the plan was then given up, and delayed until her return. "There were no casualties, that lean hear of, except one soldier, I think, shot through the shoulder. Major Jemiy,' judge _advocate for this district, with several other officers and citizens, who were among her passengers, ransomed themselves with a sum of money (Government, by the way,) which they had, in . their possession, and are now in this city. By, some secret process, known only to him self, the oaptain'of the . Fawn was immediately re leased, though the others were kept several days. .This captain resides somewhere along the canal, and, I hear, has never been noted for his Union prejudices. -Truly, there is something want ing here. • Brigadier General J. N. Palmer, lately command lug this department, . has gone North, leaving in command Brigadier General Edward Harland. General Palmer has done a great and good work at this place—a work that will leave hies in grateful remembrance of the people long after the war shall hive closed. The city, dirty and unkempt as it was whin he tookcommand, has gradually assumed a' cleanly and 'neat appearance, nuisances have been removed, tern-down wharves have been rebuilt, the streets have been filled up and• graded, and. the hordes of negroes have been compelled to comport themselves more decently: • News from' the fleet in the Sounds reports nothing of any interest transpiring. • The Tacony, a - double-ender, which was lately or dered North for's :heavier battery, has returned. She has now on board two seleven-inott, with four broadside nine-inch guns, a very formidable battery. The Tammy is a Philadelphia-built boat, and one of the;best of her class. I learn that all of the double : WV have a very peculiar and fatal disease epide mic with us now, suPposed to be a modified form of the yellow fever, but 'cannot certainly be told. Physicians- and army 'surgeons tell me that they have never seen any disease similar-to it, and cense quently can do but very little. The daily average. number of deaths from it for this week is about twelve, which, for the population, is very large. :... .ARRIVAL' OF REFUGEES AT NEWBERN—olielltom THE QUARTERMASTER'S DEPARTMENT—FRO. • TECTION OF TRIG CANAL AND RAILROAD. Newsreels, N. C., Sept. 19, 1864. I have been disappointed concerning the mails on account of the closing of the canal ; Olds we have ha &no regular communication with the North. It is supposed that Colonel Webster, chief quarter- So aster at Fortress Monroe, will establish a line of: armed boats through the canal. A large number of refugees came within our lines yesterday under the flag of trace. They are all Northern persons, who had been living in the inte rior of this State before the rebellion, and did not succeed in escaping, or rather were deluded into the belief that there would be no war: Such is the ease, almost without an exception, with all , of this class of persons that I have met. They had re. mained long enough in the - South to have imbibed the same feeling as that of the chivalry, that the North could not be so blind as to rush into a war with the South, but would quietly allow them to 1' withdraw." There were several very "intelligent persons" among these, including two or three "Yankee school•marms," I think; who gave me some very lucid and interesting accounts of affairs in Dixie,' but they are so very nearly like those which all refugees give that I do not know that they would be of anyinterest to your readers. The " sehoOl-' warms" seem to have gone South, like most others of their class, with the Intention, or rather hope, of marrying some one of the chivalric band, but in this were very cruelly disappointed, all - their good looks and winsome • ways to the contrary notwith standing; and upori the outbreaking of the war were still more cruelly allowed - to shift for them selves. To hear their very pitiful tales - of sorrow and woe would melt the heart of a brick, but amid all _I was very much struck with the idea that they did not so much sorrow for all other things as for the down.casting of their hopes. It is to be la mented that our Yankee girls should have gone so low, but from the many cases of a like kind that I have seen, I s ax fully convinced that It is a fact. A 'Change has lately been- made in the quarter master's 'department at this place, by the promo tion of Captain R. C. Webster, late chief Q. M., to a coloneloy 'and chief Q. M. of the Department of Virginia and North Carolina, and the assignment of Captain 'Holden, next in rank, as Chief Q. M. of the of North Carolina. Captain Holden is a Very talented young man,fully competent for the great and onerous duties of the position, and truly Singularly beloved by all knowing him.

June Ist, and as their one ration will not feed an entire family, I learn that there has been ex treme destitution, amounting, in some cases, alinost to starvation. General 'Harlandhas issued an order to the effect that the commissary department shall sell to them, on credit, such provisions as they may need, to 'an amount not exceeding the sum due them from Government, upon the presentation of a cer tificate to that effect from the chief quartermaster. The late attacks on the trains running to Beau fort have catisedLthe commanding general to order that twenty-five men and a commissioned officer be detailed as guard for each train. The epidemic, raging here does not seem to abate in the least. It has certainly been ascertained to be caused by the drying up of the numerous swamp's around the city, and a steady east wind has driven the miasma directly upon us.

How the Plot was formed and carried Out—History of the Affair. ' ' • -. (Special Cotrespondenee of The Press.) Torono, Ohlo, Sept. 21,188#: ~ The great excitement this week is the rebel raid from Canada. The ihmerS have been coming thick and fast eiernince the beginning of the affair, and they are lust now taking definite !belie., At first it was reported that - the rebels had -- two armed steamers on the lakes, and were Preparing to break up our commerce as much as possible. Then it came that two propellers and a side.wheel steamer had been seized in some Canadian port, armed with guns, and sent forth on a piratical expedition, - with orders to sink, burn, and destroy, after the manner of the Alabama. Then it was stated that the boats_ were moving towards Buffalo, with the object of laying that city under heavy. contribution. One after another theie stories were disproved., It is certain that the people along the lakes were pro digiously frightened, and ready to believe anything. Gradually they have come to their senses, and now , think they are not in as great danger as they might be. It was difficult to convince them of their safety forty hours ago. . It appears that about six weeks ago a gentleman of pleasing address made his appearance at San- dusky, and put up at -the West House. He called' himself Cole, and said he resided in Philadelphia, and had lately speculated largely in coal mines and'. realized handsomely. - He had plenty of money, both gold and treasury notes, and spent it in the most lavish manner. He made friends with many of the Citizens, chiefly those of the Copperhead stripe, and was noticed to be often-with them. lie was on `good terms with the officers of the gunboat Michi gan, and visited that craft quite frequently. His acquaintance became so Intimate that he frequently dined on. board the boat, and, as often had the offi cars of the boat dining.witlx-him. A short time ago - a refugee from the South•recognized Mr. Cote as an offieerlf. the rebel army. The matter was kept perfectly quiet, and the discovery was unknown to Cole. _He was kept Under strict suryefflance! though not aware of it, and his intimacy with citi zens and• ostensibly with the gunboat officers was much the same as before. On - Sunday last the offi cials received information that ' , the• affair was • coming to a head, and that some important arrests would Of , necessity be made, .. '- On papal morning Mr. Cole sent invitations " T- •...- - eijehigen. to, partake of a - stiinplitretuv: dinner.„;_t o. , - 1 .,,_,_ ~..- .,_. _ , Hoicse,-dn Sandusky. 71"hegni - 1 ,i,-.Tia, 1 4,2'/ 4 2 1 ."- greed by the presence of !several leading citizens of thei place. The invitations, with a single exception, wore promptly accepted. The one declining said that ho did so with great reluctance, but that Cs,pt. Carlin would not let him go unless Mr Cole made poisoned solicitation in his behalf. Accordingly Mi. Cole proceeded to the. Michigan, and when faitly.on board was arrested and put in irons. I was rumored that the engineer of the boat was In , complicity with Mr. Cole, but it is not certain: 1 When arrested he was informed of the charge against him, and told that he had been watched for a long , time. He confessed to , the charge of being a . relief officer, and said that his object.was to.capture the Michigan and release the prisoners on John son's bland. Both these things being accomplished, they would sweep all commerce - from the lakes and destroy the cities. . He said the plan was for men from . Canada to seize the Steamer Philo Parsons on. her way down from Detroit, and after her the Island Queen. The boats would reach the mouth of Sandusky Harbor about" dusk, or a little later. At the time they were le be at dinner at the West House, the g nboa,t - left in charge of Inferior - officers would! be an easy capture. The food and winesat the dinner were to be drugged, so that i ffi that e ocer s would be unlit for -duty until long t after e affair was over. The gunboat once in the bandepfthe conspirators, the prisoners on the Island woulrbe liberated and transported to Canada. The work >f destroying the commerce on the lakes would then , e begun, and as the Michigan is the only gun boat n those waters, they Would have everything their wiz way. Having made a part , of his confes sion, e said the Canada portion •of the programme had übtless been fully carried ant, and that the i . mid tune of discovery alone prevented his portion fro . uceeeding. ~T steamer Parsons started from Detroit on her user! trip on Monday ; morning. Two men got on _ boar and asked if she would touch at Sandwich,. Can a, two miles below Detroit, as they had some frie a there who wished to join them. The boat stop; d -there and six or eight men got on board. At . e alden, eighteen miles further down, fifteen or t: nty men joined the party, but did not pretend to k w the others. The pirates say they expected . two y or twenty-five men to join them at Ant her urg, a few miles. below Maiden, but they did not.. ,( me. .It turns out that they got on a spree on , the' ay from Windsor to Amherstburg, and did. not. e ed the whistle of the boa t at the time she lan .

Those necessary for working the boat were retained. The boat steamed down towards Sandusky, Captain Bell saying that he expected signals from shore. .lie did not receive them, but was summoned by the Michigan to come alongside. Instead Ofcomplying, he turned his boat around and steamed for Detroit' river. By not receiving the signal's from shpre, he was certain that something had gone wrong, and. that the-whole affair Weald be a failure. The'Par: sons 8'440 directly up Detroit riverearld, reached Sandwich about nine o'clock yesterday morning; The crew of the boat was landed on an island a feW ruileS below. , The pirates threw overboard much of the boat's furniture, and took the balance ashore at, Sandwich. The custom house authorities arrested EOM of the men for landing goods without a per• mit, but released them shortly afterwards. The whole party are now in Windsor'boasting over the exploit. The steamer was cut loose from the land ing, and drifted down two or three miles, where she struck-shoal Water. The 'Canadians are very indignant over' the ad ourrerioe,And are ready to arrest the guilty parties as soon as charges are preferred against them. It is reported that warrants are out for their arrest The Canadians are not our friends on general terms but they are strongly opposed to any acts of piracy committed from their shores. They will, prohably take prompt action in • onr behalf. The pirates are boasting that no one dare arrest them. Several leading Copperheads of Sandusky and other places in the - Northwest,. are, concerned in the affair. A dozen or more are now under arrest.

' Had you seen proper to let the matter rest there, I would gladly have al lowed,your letter to close this correspondence, and without your expressing it in words, would' have been willing to believe that while " the interest of the United States,".in your opinion, compelled you to an'act of barbarous cruelty, you regretted the necessity, and would • have cropped , the I subject. But you have' chosen to indulge in statements which I feel compelled to notice, at least so far as to signify, my dissent, and not allow silence in regard to them to be construed as acqui escenCe. I see nothing in your Communication which indices me to modify the language of con demnation with which' I oharacterizec your order. It but strengthens me in the opinion that it stands "pre-eminent in the dark history of war, for studied and ingenious cruelty." Your original order was stripped of all .pretence; you announced the edict for the sole reason that it'was "to theinterest Of the United .States." This alone you offered to us and the civilized worldas an all-sufticient reason for disregarding the' lanai of God and Man. You say • that "General. -Johnston himself, very a Hely and .properly; removed the families all the way from Dalton - down:" It is due to the gallant soldier . and gentleman to say, that 'no act of his distinguished career gives the least color to your unfounded aspersion upon his ,conduct.- He depopulated no villages, nor towns, ncr cities, either friendly or hostile. He offered and exchanged iriendlyAid to WV unfortunate ielloyr citizens who desired.to flee from your fraternal em brace. You are unfortunate in your attempt to find, a. justification for this act of cruelty, either its the defence of Jonesboro by Gen. Hardee, or of Atlanta by myself. Gen. Hardee; defended his position in front of Jonesboro at the expense of injury to the houses an ordinary, proper, and justifiable act of I war.' defended Atlanta at the same risk and Cost. If there. was any fault in either case, it was your • own, an not , giving notice, especially is the case of Atlanta, of your purpose to shell the town, which is usual in war amongelvllizodnations. No inhabitant,of either town was expelled from his home and- fireside by either General Hardee or myself, and, therefore, your recent order can find no support irom the conduct of either of us. I feel no other emotion than pain in reading that portion of your letters which attempts to - justify your shell ing of Atlanta without; notice, under the pretence that I defended Atlanta upon a line so close to town that every cannon shot, and many musket balls from your, line of: investment, that overshot „their mark, went' into - the habitations of women and children. Sl.nre:de „no complaint of your firing into Atlanta .in any way_ you thought proper. I make none nowsbutsthere are a hundred thousand living' witnesses that you fired into the habitations of women and children foss weeks, firing far above and miles beyond my line of defence. I have too good an opinion, founded both upon observation and .experience, of the skill, of your' artillerists to credit the assertion that they, for several weeks,' unintentionally fired too high for my modest field works, and slaughtered women and children by ac cident and avant of skilL - • The residue of your letter is rather discursive. It ~,- , - sialassfiresathels_diestuasionscfAtatestions which do not feel are oommitted to irair am - only a general of one of the armies of the Confederate States charged with military operations in the field, under the direction of my superior officers, add I am not called upon to' discuss with you the cause of the present war, or the political questions which led to or resulted from it. These grave and important questions have been committed to far abler hands than mine, and I shall only refer to them so far as to repel any unjust conclusion which might be drawn from my silence. You charge my country with " daring and badgering you to battle." The truth 19, we sent commissioners to you respect fully offering a' peaceful separation, before the first gunswas fired on either side. Yon may say we in sulted your flag. The truth is, we fired upon it and those who fought under it, when you - came. to oar doors upon the mission of subjugation. Yon say we seized upon your forts and arsenals, and made pori soners or the garrisons sent to protect us against negroes and Indians. The truth is, we expelled by force of arms: insolent intruders, and took posses sion of our own forts and arsenals, to resist your' claim to dominion over masters, slaves, and In- - diens, all of whom are, to thls day, with unanimity' .unexampled in the history of the • world, warring against your attempts to-become their maitters." You say that we tried to force Missouri and Ken tucky into rebellion in 'suite of themselves. The • truth is, my Government, from the beginning of' this struggle to this hour; ha.sjagain and again • offered, before the whole world, to leave it to the .unblaseds.will' of those States, and all others, to determine for themselves whether they will cast their destiny with your Government or ours, and .your Government has resisted this fundamental principle of free institutions with the bayonet, and labors daily, by force and fraud, to fasten its hateful tyranny upon the unfortunate freemen of these States. You say we falsified the vote of Louisiana. The truth is, Louisiana not only separated herself. .from your . Government by nearly a unanimous vote_ of her people, but has vindicated the act upon every , battle-field, from Gettysburgto the Sabine, and has exhibited an heroic devotion to her, decision which- challenges the admiration and respect of Every man capable of feeling, sympathy for the. oppressed or admiration for heroic _ valor. ' You say that we turned loose pirates to plunder your unarmed ships. The truth As s when you robbed us of our part of the navy we built' and bought a few vessels, hoisted the flag of our country ' , and swept the seas in defiance of your navy around the whole circum ference of,the globe. You say we have expelled' Union families by thousands. The truth is, not a single family has been expelled from the Confederate States, that lam aware of,' but on the contrary the moderation .of our , Government toward traitors has been a fruit less theme of denunciation by its enemies and many well-meaning friends of our cause. You say my Government, by acts of Congress, has confiscated' i‘ all debts due Northern men for goods, sold and, delivered." The truth is, Congress gave due and ample time to your merchants and traders to depart" from our shores with their ships, goods, and effects, and only sequestered the property of our enemies in retaliation, for their acts, declaring us traitors, and confiscating our property wherever their power extended, either in their country, or our own. Such are your accusations, and such are the facts known ; to all men to be true. You order into exile the whole population of I city, drive men, women, and children from their houses'at the point of the bayonet, under the plea that it is to the interest of your Government, and on the claim that this is an act of " kindness to these families of Atlanta." Butler only banished from New Orleans the registered enemies of his Govern ment,and acknowledged that he did it as a punish= . merit. • You Wine a sweeping edict covering all the inhabitants of .a city, and add insult to the injury heaped upon the defenceless, by assuming that you have done them a kindness. This you follow:by the assertion that you will "make as much sacrifice for the peace and honor of the South as the best born Sonihron." And because I characterize what you call kindness as being real cruelty, you presume to sit in judgment between me and my God, and you . decide- that my earnest prayer to the Almighty Father to save our women and children from what lon- call kindness is a "sacrilegious, hypocritical appeal-" Yon come into our country with your: army avowedly for the purpose of subjugating free. white men, women and children; and not only intend to rule over them, but you make negroes your allies, HDu ct , 711 . 6 tz anima over 1, S• 11 / ITlreir2 r:hiell wehave raised - from barbarism to its present position, which is the highest ever'attained by that race in any country In all time. • I must, therefore, decline to accept your statements in, reference to your kindneSs toward the people of Atlanta, and your willingness to sacrifice everything for the peace and honor of the'Sonth, and refuse to be governed by your decision inregard to matters between myself. my country, and my God. You say, "let us fight It out like men." To this my reply is, for myself, and, I .bidieve; for all true men—aye, and women and children---in my country, we will fight you to death. - Better diva thousand deaths than, to submit to live under, you or your Government, and your negro allies. •Having answered the points forced upon me by your letter of the 9th September I close this cor respondence with you, and notwithstanding your comments upon my appeal to God in the cause of humanity, I. again humbly and reverently invoke His'Almighty aid in defence of justice and right.
