A OOUBXE EXECUTION OF DESERTERS. L EX’S ABM Y DOHN-HS IB TED, —School— [Special Oorrespondenee of The Frees. 1 ' C ..IPITT Point, Va„ MAtehlS', is«B. ' Tbefeßtiti ilTniy is on the qui vim, for the ooming, reported to have begun two .days. mjoV lt Is the general Impression that Jnot mPy hbnrt.vfin elapse ere tite'order of advanee lalßStfed, there to still no certain knowledge upon the subject* among those not authorised to have possession of It, Theseoresy investing the plans of toe commander In-chief, while provoking to' the en rl(ns, is nevertheless a hopeful indloatlon, and gives a presolence or vlotoiy. The soidiert,. ready to move at ah hour’s notice, tlly khoW not where, tool inspired with confidence, because they know not where or when they shall move., In previous cam paigns it has not been an uhfreqnent case for a projected movement to be discussed to the camps a week or more before Its' commencement; and the result waß that desorters carried to the enemy the very Information they desired. ’ 1 In the absenoe of aotnal knowledge as tothe pros peotlve of 'the situation, absurd and ourlohsTiunbrs in crease and multiply. Thus, we are: toli that the south hank of toe river is to be given m And the Army of the Potomao united with the i Arnifttit‘ ton James for a oombtoed assault on Ktohmond from the north, and this plan la affirmed to he the true one,on “the authority of an offioerof Gen. Meade’s staff.’’ Another rumor of a sensational character to to toe elteot that Fort Hell has been undermined by toe rebels, and the garrison are' in momentary expectation of Its blowing up. The story Is a plau sible one to oertaln respects. If General Lee de signed to imitate'the idea of General Burnside, he would most likely seleot this point, of all others on toe line, for operations, beoause our fortlfioetidns are here closest to those of the enemy. It was in this vicinity that the Petersburg mine whs blown np. Still, the story is not believed generally. Yesterday, In commemoration of ,1m birth of Ire land’s patron saint, the Irish Brigade, Ist Division, ■2d Corps, treated Itself to a field-day, as It always does on this anniversary. The celebration yester. day was spirited, thousands of persons witnessing or participating In it. Among.the latter, two gen tlemen—one with a purple oap, anfi the other with Inexpressibly salmon-colored bieeoheg fitting tight to the- skin—deserve particular mention for their vivacity and fearless jbckeylsm. Bnt, In faot, everybody waß more or less vivacious, and every one of any oonsequenoe rode a horse recklessly. The scene of the'festivitles was a eloared plat of ground, about forty or fifty .acres In extent, a mile and a half eaet of Humphrey’s Station—the last station on the City point -read. At the south end or the fleld a stand was ereoted for the nctablea, the ladles, and a few other privileged spectators. It was gaily deco rated with flags and guidons of various patterns, ‘ that flapped and fluttered in the stiff morning' breeze with a very pretty effect. Among those present on the' stand were; Generals Meade, Warren, Humphreys,' and several others, who seemed to' enter as zealously into the spirit of the affair as the mad-eap Jockeys who whipped up their fiery steeds to a break-neck speed. -QtUte a number of ladles, whowent np from City Point in a special train, were likewise present. The scene was a very picturesque oho, and a very curious one, considered in its nature and surroundings. There ' could not have been less than ten thousand persons present, during the day, to look on at the spdrt. They formed themselves ln arlng. soas to encircle the race course, being kept in tolerable shape akd ’ subjection by a sufficient-' guard. The first raoo came off just' before noon, and restated in a young looking captain carrying off aB a prize a handsome little whip, with silver-handle. The,other trials of speed were mostly for snms of from one to five everybody, winner and loser, seemed In good spirits as his neighbor; and theie was no more excitement than Is necessary to give such an affair due eclat. Once, when four or five horsemen were dashing down the - course In a “fiat race,” one excited, dumpling-faced man flung his slouched hat franti cally and struck the second rider full-fin the face. Whether the aot was prompted by exuberance of spirits, or a more pecuniary motive, mnst be left to - his own oonsolence. After the horse-rasing came a foot-race, which, as everybody stretched his neck to see, only .a fortunate few succeeded in seeing. It was after- five o’clock, when the smlllng-faood trumpeter Mew the signal of dismissal and the generals retired to a side tent} bedecked with evergreens, to regale themselves with sandwiches, and the horsemen and men afoot streamed over the hills and down the wearisome ravines to their camps, or to the railway station. The day Itself, bright, snnny, and cool enough, to be bracing, was auspicious for the celebration, and It could not have' passed off in a more pleasant man ner. One or two aocfclents, however, ooourred to mar the pleasure attending It. A oolonel of a New York regiment was thrown from Ms horse and serf, ously Injured, and the commissary sergeant of the 60 th New York York Eeglment Waß knocked down and killed by the tramp of a horse. These unfor tunate events, however, were .speedily forgotten by the soldiers, who are confronted with death In a hundred shapes day after day. . . Two men are tobfi executed here to-day for the crime of desertion. ’ ' Tho execution of McNeely and Baker, of the Ist Maryland Regiment, for the crime of desertion, took place at noon yesterday, about two miles from this point, just within the tost line of breastworks. It was a most Impressive affair, and, Including the troops present, must have been witnessed by five or six thousand persons. General Patrick personally supervised the arrangements,* assisted by General Collls, commandant of the post. At 11 o’clock three regiments of troops were drawn-up in position so! as tolorm three sides of a hollow square. In the centre of the area thus enclosed, two graves had been dug for the culprits, dose by the gallows, which had been ereoted for a previous occasion, not less Im pressive. On the right was the 20th New York, to clog the gallows was .the 61st Massachusetts, and on the left a regiment of colored troops. Adetaoh ment or cavalry acted as guards to keep back-the crowd at a respectful distance, and to prevent It from dosing In and completing the fourth side of the square, whioh It would have dose at all risk, if a ehanoo had occurred. .At half-past eleven o’olock.the troops were called to “open order,” and thoße on the- Inner line were directed to right about faoe, thus forming an avenue through which the prisoners were to be marched, allowing them to be distinctly seen by every soldier lu the line. In a; little while the cortege entered In the following order: Band of the 114th Pennsylvania Regiment .(ColUs’ Zonaves), playing the Dead March ln Saul ; guard; detail of four men bearing the coffins ;.guard ; prisoners, walking arm In-arm with their spiritual advisers; guard. Having marched around the Hues the party proceeded: to the centre of the enclosure, and the coffins were laid across the graves. The prisoners walked with a firm step, and betrayed no : emotion. The usual formula was gone through with, the find ing and sentence of the court-martial and the' approval thereof- by Major General Meade was read, and then, side by side,: the condemned men, after shaking hands, knelt In’ prayer. Reve rend Geo. U. Nerde, of Philadelphia, officiated; as chaplain on the occasion, by request, and exerted bimseirto the utmost to reconcile the men to their fate and bring them to a tranquil frame of mind. Alter prayer one of the men made a short'speech, admitting his guilt, acknowledging Ms punishment deserved, «nd hoping his fate would prove, a warn ing to all whoheard him. His words were so affaot lng that many of the firing party were moved! to tears. The men then calmly sat down upon their coffins, their eyes were bandaged, and the firing party of twelve was drawn up, apparently within five paces of them. The command was very quietly given to “toe,” the muskets were dls charged, and the unfortunate men reeled baoki In their coffins, dead. After <- lapse of half ah hour the lids were nailed upon the oofflnß and the corpses were removed to the dead-house, to be em balmed fortransmlssal to Baltimore. Of the thou sands present, accustomed, to scenes of bloodshed and violent death, none who witnessed this affecting scene will ever be able to forget it. News of a stirriDg character may be dally expect* ed from this army. Preparations for an Important movement, whose suooess seems to he assured, have been making for weeks past, and are nowcompleted. The army Is all ready to move at a moment’s notice, and the troops are eager and enthusiastic. There seems t»be little doubt that the Southslde Road is to be Meade’s “objectivepoint” for the present, apd after that—Richmond.

Pobtbbbb Monbob, Mawk2o.—Major Compson, of the Bth New York Cavalry, accompanied by Gap tain Moore, of General Sheridan’s staff, and several other officers, and the principal scouts belonging to General Sheridan’s army, arrived here last evening on the steamer Matilda, direct fiom the White House, Va., on route for Washington, with 17 bat tle.flags, captured partly near Waynesboro, Va., In the battle with the rebel Gen. Early’s forces, and in other encounters during their raid across the State. The statements made by these officers In conversation respecting the damage anddevasr tatlon inflicted by Gen. Sheridan’s forces does not materially differ from the accounts already pub lished, and which th,ey describe as complete and'lr reparable. v General .Sheridan’s forces are In excellent con dition, and they appear to have not suffered In the least from their long march from Winchester. About three hundred rebel prisoners are now at the White House, and some three thousand negroes, who followed our troops as they passed through the country.-,A large number, of prisoners were cap tured during the raid, but owing to the rapidity of the movement of our troops many of them had to be abandoned, and others made their escape, owing to the relaxed vigilance of the guards, who were glad to get rid of them. The entire cavalry foroe has crossed to the Booth bank of . the Pamunkoy river, and ;ls . now engaged in recruiting pre paratory to new movements. The rebel General Longstreet, with Ms oorps, is supposed to be lurking In the vicinity of the White House,.for on the evening of the arrival of .General Sheridan’s anny at that plaoo frequent .skirmishes 'oeourred between his advanced, pickets and un known small squads of the enemy, who appeared to bo prowllng ahout for reconnoitring purposes.

I have been firm la the con viction, for years, that the South cannot be con quered—thus my efforts for “ mediation,” an “ In ternational * Congress,” and “negotiation.” Un changed in this view, I beg leave to add the opi nion that the civil war, under a continued force policy, has but commenced; that the evacuation polloy of the South—avoiding battles—is not forced, but premeditated, under a determined* upon con centration of forces. Under this poltay Rich mond will, without doubt, be evacuated, and -the greatest battles -of ancient or modern times-fought, resulting In the success of the South entire destruction of .the American Republic, under foreign dictation. Even acknow ledging ■ the desolation of the South, It 1b their strength: in its power to reunite the people, while the late .refusal of the Government either to nego tiate a peace with the Confederacy, the States, or gen'erals ln the field, Ib-additional strength through thereby a returning sympathy of Europe. .The suoocbs of the-South is not, however, alone through a concentration policy and the arming of the slaves who will prove true, hut through the policy of Napoleon to control nations. History, as a guide, has secured to Napoloon a controlling power In Europe, Maximilian will secure to Mm the extension of that power over the Amerloan con tinent, unless we become reconciled with the South. To seek that reconciliation and to check the exten sion of European power here, I appeal to you as the most prominent sentinel upon the watch-tower of our now threatened Republic to Induce the Pre sident— Ist.

The men. without resistance, hut with an indignation they could sot repress. were /creed from the platform. The conductor, proud of what he hau done, and with a chuckle of delight as he exchanged glances with the driver, re entered the ear. I asked him by what right he had compelled those soldiers to leave the platform? His arnwer was, "Such “are my orders." I could not assume that he acted without authority, and had therefore to content myself with the reply, **Ts«n they are brutal orders, which force well behaved United States s oldie is from the platform of your ear,'and especially as this is the only c»r by which they can reach the last train going out by the camp to night ” The men were then on the side walk, within a short distance, of us; bnt the conductor would not listen to theirbaiug allowed to stand on the vacant platform.

His march even from Chattanooga to Atlantawas thought dancer : ous in the,extreme, but it was thrown into the shade by his next achievement.

The Fed eralsWe recover .ed their military reputation, bat If the South is still to. solved to stand out to the end. they have made but little progress toward* the conclusion of the war " In another edltorial.the Times writes from a different point of view, and says: “ ThesignsofiConfederate exhaustion htfve brought n* to that turning point of the American war which places ub within sight of the final scene, and the part we si all be cabled on to play in it If the combatants shake hands, the next victim map be an unconcerned special tor.

The Times concludes by observing: "Fatting all thirds together, we are inclined to believe that the Government of Washington will not attack us immedi ately on the conclusion of this present war, and that it will therein show its wisdom. It would, however, be most inconvenient, costly, and disagreeable to have the Quarrel hanging over our head*, waiting for * rican convenience: and opportunity.- When the time comesbuystatesmen will have to see that we are not placed,under that penance if that indeed is to be our fate ; aid IT we an to ltvs In daUy expuotation »r nswx that the United St ate* have inarched upon our provinces for the satisfaction of some old claims, vamped up for the purpose, then we may be excused if we are less anxious to see the present war over than we otherwise should be. .

In the ordinary course of things the men would have remained out, supported by the Union until the employers, tired ofloting the profits of trade, conceded to their terms. Aware of this, a meeting of ironm&eters was held at Birmingham three w<-eks ago, at which seventy-six firms were represented, and the National Association of ironmasters was formed, ft was then resolved that the North Staffordshire masters ahonla not be Uft to fight their battle alone; but that, in order to strike at the source from which the men who stood out were supplied, the ironworks every where should be closed. * ’ Kanb O’Dohkbi., The Sst.

Yesterday was one of late use excitement in. comaer oi&l and financial circles, caused by the further fall in the gold premium. The markets were exceedingly "bearish,” and the sturdiest believers in high prices and aeucceEsful Southern.rebelllon succumbed to the universality of the opinion that the Confederacy is ufx terly used up, and pease at hand. How soon matters will sesame some settled shape it Is, of sihle to say. While the gold market continues lulls present demoralized state thefature is fall of doubt, and business must anffisrin all its departments. Produce and merchandisejire for the present entirely unsaleable, and Holders are obliged to mark down their goods much below cost, as an Indue ament to buyers. Buyers, however, Are indisposed to operate, even with this in ducemeni, in ihe hope that the farther decline in gold will compel still lower asking rates. Jknswapeoula tive moVement developed itself yesterday in Govern ment bonds*, whichtad the effect for a while of depress* ing them very materially, was formed, of which the nucleus was in Hew York, the objectof which was to Bend-down those bonds to an extent that it was designed should interfere with the sale of the seven-thirties at the regular subscription price. The principal parties in th e ring were the most prominent go! d gamblers, and operators with secesh proclivities in the two cities. So soccetsfal was the operation, that tWS-20s were sold down tolOlK Later in the day, however, the was completely recovered, and it was reported that one Hew York house who sold “short’’ largely was unable to deliver, and had to “go by the board.” We heardal&o of another failure in our own citj. The primary object was not attained - The sale of the7-30a continued to a very' large extent. The confidence of the people in this popular loan grows day by day. Experl enee has shown that the only effect oc* asioned by the fall in gold Is similar to that which a victory occasions, namely, to stimulate the subscriptions of the people in all portions of thp country, , The decline in all stock securities is very marked. Beading sold at i%%> a decline of Pennsylvania at’ 63, a decline of 3, and Catawisaa preferred at 21 H* a de cline of 2%. Other railroad stocks were weak, and buy ers could only be tempted by very material concessions. City loan* show a continued depression; the municipals declined 4; the new sold at 90, Monday’s price. The City Treasury is reported to bo in such' a condition that if the Treasurer was allowed by law to ■elhcity loan at 'fttkett-ates holders otwarrants,could obtain. their mo j&jr withpnt having, as now, to submit to feho-ruinous disebont of 9 and 10 per cent. Councils, however, do not see fit Id the law on the subject, and the creditors of the city are.fjefi’antled of their jUBt dues. Oil stocks are particularly blue,- prices having, fallen off conside rably, with veVy light sales; There was little said in company bonds, the sales being confi&ed to Lehigh Val ley sixes at 95; Camden and Amboy mortgage sixes at £6; gchnylkili navigation ■ixes,lBB2,at'7B, and Susque hanna Canal bonds at 50.
