Engagement Scarcity of Coffee,
WisniNOTotf, June 9
The rebels say that the "Merrimac" bag
been raised, and that she will bo ready for sea
in two weeks, which is an unblushing false
bood. She has only been above water about
one week, and, with tbe present system of
worktog, cannot be repaired u tiro months.-
vi bea Commodore 1 endurgrast found it nec
essary to destroy her, be did it in tbe most ef
fectual maoour, viz : sot ber on (ire, and then
scuttled ber ; and consequently she now
RtandB a burued and charred ship, as every
thing above ber water mark was destroyed
by lire : in fact, the destruction of the "Mer
rimac" and "Uermatitown was. tbo most efaec
tuttl piece of destruction performed by the
Federal authorities, The system of working
in the Norfolk Navy Yard is done by force.
Kvery working man in Norfolk and Ports
mouth must perform four days' labor gratis,
( T ) or, to be be plaioer, be is compelled to
labor that length of time without pay, as nei
ther ihe soldiers nor mechanics at tbat station
have, as yet, received one cent of pay. Tbey
are promised everything, lien. Beauregard
has paid Hying visits: to Norfolk and Ports
mouib, but for some unknown reason, does
cot stay long in any one place. The great
fear in Norfolk seems to be a surprise at
Ilicbmoud and Harper's Ferry at the same
time, and then the possession of the Seaboard
nd ltoannke Railroad by tbe United States
troops. . If tbe above named road in the
State of North Corolina should be eiezed, it
wiil cut off all communication between Nor
folk and the rest of tbe world, and then a sur
render will necossurily follow, as nothing but
starvation will meet them face to face. Nor
folk is considered impregnable both by sea
nd land ; it may be very strong, but should
tbe administration adopt the gume tbey have
played at, the Rebels will most assuredly be
in lix, as a seizure of tbe Railroad, with
James River already blockaded, and tbe Nor
folk aud Petersburg Railroad in tbe posses'
ion of tbe Government, no earthly power can
live tbe inhabitants of Norfolk aud Ports
month from starvation.
In regard to tbe Sewall's Point Battery, I
will mention, from good authority, tbat six
men were killed in the fight with the United
States steamer "Mooticello." They were
members of tbe Woodia Uiflemeo, of Nor
folk, Oapt. Lamb, son of the mayor of Nor
folk, tbe whole being under the command of
Lieut, coiquittt, of tieorgia. Since the affray
ice oausry uos oeeo repaired, and is cow con
sidered impregnable. No doubt it will do ef
ficient service if manned by good soldiers.
Tbe commanding oficer there, (Jen. Uwyn,
regrets tbat be did not take possession of
Newport News, as be now vlearly sees the
value ol that point, and bow easily General
Holler can march on Yorktowu.
Coffee is very source, and one iogenous in

Tbat tbe people of Norfolk, eveo those

We have received copy of the resolutions

Esq., presided, assisted by Ephrolm Lloyd,
Benjamin Helfner, Jacob Sesaholtt, Thomas
Snydet and Peter Malick, aa Yice Presidents, and
Francis Lerch and N. C. Lytel, as Secretaries
A series of resolutions' were reported by the
following committee, via r J. Reitz, H. D. Jor
dan, Edward Helfsnstein, George Conrad and
George B. Conrad. " "
The meeting was addressed by Hon. Alexander
Jordan, George Hill, Solomon Malick, George C.
Wetker, Charles Kutz and J. Hoffman, Esquires.
The crowded state of our columns prevents us
publishing the resolutions, which are lengthy and
embody the usual arguments in regard to Seces
sion, a subject in regard to which we had sup
posed there was perfect unanimity, in this section
of the Union. We were informed, however, by
one of the officer of the meeting, that thero were
number of individuals whose minds were un
settled in regard to the justness of this wsr,
caused by the dangerous and disloyal opinions
promulgated by the "Northumberland County
Democrat," in denouncing the war policy of the
Administration and defending the Southern
traitors, even in the acknowledged robbery of the
Government property. In correcting these tin
patriotic, dangerous and disloyal ideas, he thinks
Judge Jordan's speech was well timed and
proper, and we presume the other speeches were
in a proper spirit. It is certainly to be regretted
that any necessity whatever should exist for
such meetings. One of the resolutions refers to
the constitutional guarranty of "freedom of speech
or of the press." There are times and occasions
when this freedom, unlimited, may be perverted,
and run into treason. It is in times such as
theso wbicb show how dangerous even the
valuable boon of a free press may be made, when
in the hands of reckless and incompetent men.
rilE PAYMENT OF OI R VOLUNTEERS.
We bad occasion, a few days since, to allude
to tbe immediate necessity for the payment
of our volunteers, and to urge upon onr State
Government tbe propriety of advancing te ev.
ery soldier from Pennsylvania a month, s
wages. Any such action would be nothing
more tbau loan to the General Government
for few weeks, as there is no doubt that
Congress will, immediately after its organiza
tion, proceed to make all necessary arrange
ments for the payment of tbe army. Oar sol
diers have been submitting to many inconve
niences and troubles by reason of the scarcity
of money among them, and tbe measure of re.
lief we proposed impressed os very forcibly as
being calculated to iucrease their military effi
ciency and alleviate many of tbe hardships of
the soldier's life.
Arrangements are being mark by the Stale
Government at Ilarrisburg to advance one
month's pay to every volunteer in the service
from the State of Pennsylvania. The amount
distributed will be over three bundrod dollars,
which will, no doubt, be refunded by the Gov
ernment at Washington. The Government
deserves great credit for thus appreciating
the wants of oar soldiers-
The soldiers should guard against specula
tors and swindlers, who may attempt to pur
chose their drafts at exorbitant rates of oso-

Br Our neighbor of tbe Cazttte gives the
editor of the Democrat of this place a lecture,
in bis late paper, that oui-ht to improve his
memory as well as bis moral and political
ethics. Ia referring to tbe oufouuded char
ges against as, the Gazette says :
"As to Mr. Masse r's instigating the threats
in question, we distinctly recollect having
bad a conversation witb bim at the time our
peoplo were indulging in denunciations (not
violence) against the Democrat, in which
conversation we discussed the puck of trou
bles in wbicb Mr. Purdy had got himself, aud
Mr. Alasser remutked that lie (1 urdy) wus
not worth the luss, aud that if only rope
enough was given bim he would bang him
self. This did not look verv much like Mr.
Masser stirring up a mob against him. That
rurdy was scared is evident, but we bunilv
believe it was through fear of violence, but
because he found that bv its course his news
paper had arrayed against it so overwhelming
a display of public displeasure."

O The Selinsgrovo Times editor arraigns
tbe President on a bill of indictment contain
ing eight counts or charges, on which "Old
Abe" is to be impeached or impaled as sooo
as Congress meets. The President it seems
bag violated the Constitution, among other
things, in blockading tbe Southern ports.
If the English Cabiuet bad not made a great
blunder, and consulted the Selinsgrove Times
instead of the Londou Hmes, tbey wonld not
bave acknowledged the justness and legality
of the blockade. Another outrage of the
President was io looking over the private
despatches of traitors who .were acting as
spies io our midst, and sending by Telegraph
information to the Rebels. Tbe President
ought to be ashamed of himself in thus expos.

a witness to establish these facts and after

CSTCol. Cameron. The Philadelphia .
quirer alledges that tbe appointment of Col
Cameron was the result of some trickery.
This we know to be untrue; Mr. Cameron

ly a few days ago thut he consented to accept.
This iB confirmed by the following from tbe
N. Y. Tribune:
"Col. James Cameron, of Pennsylvania, has
accepted the Colonelcy of the 79th High,
land Regiment, wbicb was offered him last
week. A Committeo of officers of the regi
meot wailed on Col. Cameron lo-duy and

There Is a new source of information, suddenly

Many tetters so addressed were mailed after this

The balloon is for immediate roeonnoiter

11 hi Mi I..
"Al.TiMnHK, June II I b- e.n:il Corres-
minimi of the Amtrtuun, rrtur-fd this morn
ing from Fortress Monroe, famishing the fol
lowing account of the Battle at Great Be-tbel.
For several days General Butler had bern
advised of the movemeots of a considerable
body of Rebels io the vicioity ot a village
Called Great Bethel, which is abont twelve
mile distant from fortress Montoe, and
Dear the road leading to Yorktowo. Be
lieving from reliable report tbat tbey bad
thrown up entrenchments, and were gradually
extending their outer line of picket, he
determined after consultation witb other offi
cer to whip there away. He accordingly
gave ordera to eeveral regiments to hold
tbemselvet io readiness to marvh at a mo
ment' notice.
At the same time tbe chief of the ordnance
department received order to lead oot forth
witb a battery or howitzer which waa rooo
oo the line of march, comprising four 12-
pounders, a detachment of United State
Artillery, with Lieol. John F. Greble, of
f ennsylvaaia, and other officer. A parly
party of the Naval Brigade was also quickly
mustered lor tne purpose or carrying troops
acioss Hampton Creek, wbich wa done by
mean of fishing boat sent down oo Saturday
from tbe Susquehanna river.
1 be detailed force of volprteers consisted
of three regiment the Albany regiment
Colonel Townsend; the New York Zouaves.
(led by Colonel Durye ;) and the Fifth New
York Regiment, Colonel Benedix ; with
companies of other regiment, comprising a
lorce oi ceariv uuuu men. Tbe command
moved at ball past two o'clock oo Sunday
night, with the Zouaves nearly one bour
ahead, and, owing to a nibst unfortunate
mistake ia relation to signals, two of the
regiments got into collision, when Colonel
TowDsend's for the enemy, fired .into tbem,
and did cot discover their uiistakf! until tbe
dawn of day, when their supposed enemies
left them masters of the field.
It is not known how many were killed and
wnunddd, but it will not be considerable.
After an explanation and a mutuul under
standing, it was agreed to move on Great
Bethel, and the entire force took up the line
of march for that point, wh'ch is three miles
from the place wbere the error woscommit
ted. As soon os the right of tbe column got
near tbe place, they were appraised by the
presence of the foe, who were very strongly
eotrencbed, end opened fire upoo them with
a battery of rifled cannon.
The Federal troops promptly responded
but volleys from infantry and a email park of
howitzers were unavailing against such a
formidable battery, and in tb course of half
ao hour, a retreat was sounded, and executed
in good order. Tbe regiments moved well,
and tbe me, it is acknowledged on all sides,
acted with a spirit of determination.
The most melancholy feature was the death
of Lieut. Greble.
It wis almost impossible to tell the num
ber of killed and wounded on the side of the
Federal troops, but I was told by Gen. But
ler tbat bis estimate was about thirty killed
and one hundred wounded. It was feared
that Major Winthrnp, aid to Gen. Butler,
had been killed, as he could not be found.
When the new of the action reached the
Fortress tbe utmost sadness prevailed, end
tbere was a sorrowful aspect visible throughout.
The first wounded men who reached
Fortress was private Jimes Garbetl. He
came in oo ambulance, which was very cure
luny ariveo.
As sooe as Geo. Butler heard of the affair,
which was about 1 o'clock, he mounted his
horse aud rode at the height of speed to
Newport News, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the facts in the case. Col. Dimmick also
roda ground tbo rampart!", and inspecting the
side near tbe land approach, ordered howit
zers aod mortars to be gotten ready.
About nioe, P. M the steamer Cutaline
reached tbe wharf with some of the dead aud
wounded. In the meantime nearly all the
arrived fleet proceeded np the James River,
to Newport News. Tbe Hospital for tbo
regular forces and the regiments of volun
teers wbo are stationed in tbe fort, is in first
rate order, and under tbe direction of Dr.
Cuyler, will continue so. It is officially an
nounced that tbe health of the garrison is
excellent, and that but few are on tbe sick
lit.
1 have endeavored to get a list of th killed
and wounded in the affair at Great Bethel,
bnt succeedod only partially, as but few of
them bad reached the forts at the hour for
the departure of the boat, which usually
leaves et four P. M., but was detained for
your correspondent op to 9 P.M., on tbis
occasion.
