FROM WASHINGTON
DISPATCHES FROM COX. DUPONT.
Infernal Machines found in the 8a-

TEE REPORTED ARRIVAL OF ARMS AT NEW
ORLEANS INCORRECT.
THE CASE OF MARSHAL LAMM
THE NEW NAVAL .BILL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28
Dispatchei have been received at the Navy
Department from Commodore Dupont, dated
Port Royal, February 18th, enclosing a report
from Commander Rogers, in which he says,
while sounding in the Savannah river, at a
short distance aboVe the month of Wright
river, he discovered several objects floating
upon the surface, which appeared at first eight
to be empty tin cane, and as such were not re
garded by him as worthy of notice. Lieuten
ant Sprotson of the Seneca, shortly after hailed
him, and told him he thought the objects
alluded to were baoye, attached to an internal
machine. Upon closer examination they saw
enough to satisfy them that the suspicions were
correct.
The buoys five in number were placed several
yards apart, at right angles to the share imme
diately in the channel leading from Wright
river and visible only at low water. Tuey were
connected by a spiral wire, the end of the wire
entering an orifice in the upper ends of the
buoys. They were also secured by wires to
what they presumed to be weights at the bot
tom, bat which further examination led them
to believe were vessels containing explosive
matter.
An attempt was subsequently made to pro
duce an explosion by pullingthe wires, which
failed.
The wires were then cut, and the outer buoy
was brought off in one of the expedition txmts.
In consequence of the delicate nature of the ex
ploding apparatus, the result of the examina
tion of the buoy brought on board,it was deemed
more prudent to endeavor to sink the remain
ing buoys rather than attempt to move them,
so that the enemy should not have the satis
faction of feeling that , a single life had been
loat by the diabolical invention.
The buoyeNvere sunk by firing rifle shots into
them, one tidying exploded the night previous
from some cause unknown. and shortly after a
launch had passed over the spot where the
buoys were plisbed having in tow a heavy
lighter with guns.
It further appears that the torpedo or infer;
nal machine brought on board the Unadilla
was afterwards set upon a bank and a rifle ball
fired through it, when it exploded.
Assistant Secretary Fox hag received a letter
from a friend in New York, saying the state
ment of a Richmond paper that 160,000 stand of
arms, which arrived at New Orleans on the
steamer Victoria,which recently run the block
ade to that port, is not true.
A rellable.paasenger who came out from Or-
Leans to Havana on the Victoria, says that she
was able to obtain there only 160 guns, and
these were all the arms she took back on her
return.
The New Orleans militia are not yet there
fore supplied with arms.
The recent paragraph in this correspondence
with regard to recent disclostires exonerating
Marshall Lemon from certain charges in con
nection with the jail, had no reference to the
testimony given before the Senate Committee
on the District of Columbia, and which will
not be made public until all the evidence shall
be taken. The information was derived from
other sources, the correctness of which, like that
of many other things, is controverted.
The bill recently unanimously reported from
the House Committee on Naval Affairs, to es
tablish the grade of line officers of the Navy,
proposes important changes, one of which is to
create nine flag-officers or admirals, to be
selected not below the grade of commanders, who
who shall have given evidence of courage, skill

CAPTURE OF CLARKSVILLE.
OFFICIAL REPORT OF COMMODORE FOOTE.
Cuitzavrznz, Tim., Feb. 20, 1862.
2b the Hon Gideon Wells, Secretary of the Navy:
We have possession of Clarksville. The citi
zens being alarmed, two-thirds of them lrive
fled, and having expressed my views and inten
dons to the mayor and Hon. Cave Johnson, at
their request I have issued a proclamation as
suring all peaceably disposed persons that they
may with safety resume their business avoca
tions, requiring only the military stores and
equipments to be given up, and holding the
authoilties responsible that this shall be done
without reservation.
Il left Fort Donelson yesterday with the
Conestoga Lieut. Commanding Phelps, and
the Cairo, Lieut. Commanding Bryant, on an
armed reoonnoisance, bringing with me Col.
Webster, of the Engineer corps, and chief of
Gen. Grant's staff, who, wits! Lieut. Command
ing Phelps, took possession of the principal
fort, and hoisted the Union flag at Clarksville.
A Union sentiment manifested itself as we came
up the river.
The rebels have retreated to Nashville , hay
fire,
-
ing set against the, remonstrances of the' h
citizens, to the splendid Railroad bridge across
the Cumberland river. I return to Fort Don
elson to-day for another gunboat and six or
eight mortar boats, with which I propose to
proceed up the Cumberland.
The rebels all have a terror of the gunboats.
One of them a short distance above Fort Don
elson had previously fired an iron rolling mill
belonging to Hon. John Bell, which . had been
used by the rebels.

CAMP Mouse, Ohio, Feb. 19, 1862
Mr. EDITOR : —Some people imagine that
those who dwell In camps see little of interest
and none of the romantic,that it is as lethargic
a life as that of a recluse, or as dismal as that
of a swamp angel. This may be true of IMMO
camps, but of this one it is not.
Here we are as comfortable as a brood of pet
chickens, and partake of our frugal meals with
as much grace and ease as if feasting at
sumptuous banquet of Cleopatra and Mark An
tony.
We have the pleasure occasionally of putting
on our white gloves, tall hats with sable and
glossy plumes waving luxuriantly from the
side,tino dress coats, brightly polished shoulder
scales," and with, our glittering rifles pa
rade about our camp, while a bevy of black
eyed lassies gaze on and applaud us as we de
part with a coup de grace for our wigwams.
Romance is found here in it., wildest form.
A few days ago a young recruit, enlisted by
one of our if allant lieutenants, was brought to
camp dressed ala mange. It was soon discov
ered that the youthtta looking war or belong
ed to the feminine gender, and ikruediately
was she marched to,head-quarters, where her
case was speedily disposed of. She gave a
brief narrative of her wanderiogs to several,
from which l have been able to glean the fol
lowing : When the rebellion broke out, and
a call was made by the President for the brave
sons of freedom to rally around the old banner
for three months, she, I suppose, deeming
herself a sun or a brilliant star in some con
stellation, immediately enlisted. She was in
three battles, and for a brief period drove a
team. It is said she endured the long jour
neys and the bardahipe of camp life with the
fortitude and courage of an old veteran. She
became so deeply enamored with the life of
a soldier, that she concluded to join the gal
lant regulars for three years ; hoping, I have
no doubt, that she would wake some bright
summer's morn and find herself a (brig-a)dear
general-egg. Her voice was quite effeminate
and although not quite so musicales the lute, I
suspected her sex as soon as I hetird her speak.
Her hands were not like twin lilieg, not her
locks as long and silky as those of " Venice;"
the former had lost their alabaster tint, and
were now as dark as a young bay maker's in
summer, and the latter was cropped off close to
the head;
A witty captain at my elbow remarked to
me, before I was certain of the young soldier's
sex, " Would you not like to have this boy for
your cook f" I replied, "Certainly would I."
She heard the remark and the answer, dropped
her head, and endeavored to blush gracefully,
bet the rosy tint refused to steal through the
nut brown of her cheek, or tinge the gipsy
hue of her forehead.
She stated that her parents were dead, end
her friends few and far away ; she therefore
concluded to enter the army, and serve her
country, rather than beg. Her story was found
.133146.11nd onr.good Colonel immediately
provided for her wants.
On Saturday morning of the 15th,a whispered
rumor was current in camp that the battalion
was soon to depart, which proved itself true
before evening. There was not that bustle,
confusion and disorder in the preparation for
departure that I have observed in volunteer
camps, everything was prepared and arranged
with a speed and accuracy I have never before
seen. New shoes and other articles of clothing
were immediately furnished all those needing
them, and the battalion furnished with blank
cartridge, and practiced in the loadings and
firings.
On Sunday afternoon the battalion in dress
suit, was drawn up in line of battle by Colonel
Carrington, who spoke to them as kindly as a
father, yet firmly, as a true soldier. He con
cluded by saying, as he pointed with his glit
tering sword to the top of the towering flag-staff
on his right, "To yon glorious emblem of
liberty, the banner of freedom, the proud flag
of our loved country, that shall soon wave
triumphantly in the breeze of the sunny south,
we will fire a salute."
The men 'done exceedingly well, all firing
together with the exactness of old warriors.
You may expect to bear of the Third battalion,
of the Eighteenth United States Infantry, doing
severe damage among the rebels with their
terrible rifles before long. On Monday morn
ing, the 17th inst., long before the orient was
flushed by the appearance of old Sol, the troops
were all at work, and before seven o'clock the
funnel-shaped Sibley tents that dotted the hill
side so neatly at early morn and the lively and
jokeing troops, (with the exception of company
C,) had departed. There was four companiesof
the Third battalion, Eighteenth U. S. Infantry,
and two companies of the Sixteenth, ali regu
lars, armed " cap-a-pie" and under the command
of Major Will. A. Stokes as they marched •to
Columbus, three miles distant, where they took
the cars for Cincinnati. On Tuesday eve they
expected to be some distance south of Louis
ville, Ky., and by the last of the week by forced
march they will join General Thomas, and
'participate in the soon expected battle.
Captain Eyster's company (C,) is still in
camp anxiously awaiting his arrival with a few
Harrisburg braves to complete the company,
when they will join the command of Major
Stokes, who desires their presence as speedily
as possible, knowing I suppose, that when we
depart we will be accompanied by an excellent
officer, Captain E., and closely followed by our
skillful and assiduous Colonel.
In my rust letter to the TICLIGRAPH, which
will be from Tem:melee or Alabama, I hope and
expect to give you a graphic sketch of the
heroic deeds performed by the glorious Eigh
teenth. ATESNIAN.
