Post Picoeicg, Nori 25, 1861.; j
General —That Port Piekenshas been be
leaguered by the rebels for ([he laat nine
months, and thatitwas daily threatened with
the fate of Sumter, h a fact notorious to the
wholo world. Since its occupanoy by Lieu-,
tenant Slemmer tho rebels nave been sur
rounding it with batteries, arming
them with the heaviest and most efficient,
gnns known to oar service—gabs stolen from,
the United States—until they qpfesidored Ithis ‘
fort as'virtually their own,
being only a question of time.t- 1 -*
I have, been in command sinoa the, 16th of'
April, and during the whole offhatltirae ibeir
force has averaged, so far as I pah;.learn, from
eight to ten times the numbering mino. The
position in which I h&ve tbnsfcipf placed has
been sufficiently trying, and thereat three,
separate times intended to from it
by opening my batteries on tiiem, but im
perious circumstances, over which. T had no
control, has nnezpeetodly in each instance
prevented. 1 .
Affairs were In this state on. the morning of
the 9th of October, when thareoomy, fifteen
hundred strong, attacked by surprise a por
tion of my command on an'intentely dark
night. They were defeated (fhd driven from
the island with great loss.by* Jjesi than two
hundred regulars and tears—all
the efficient force I had diepotabto for the
purpose. An insult so groBsAo4he fiag of my
country could not by me bephned unnoticed,
and I designed immediately tpYske appropri
ate notice of it; but, as I saiphefore r cirpum-
Ce2S.lymM
stances over which I had noitxmtrol prevent
ed. I make theso prefatory "ftomarks to ex
plain why I havo now opened my batteries
on theenomy, when, from life smallness of
my forces, about one-sixth -of his, thirteen
hundred to eight tbdorad,<l have nqt,the
-means of producing any decisive and
'as evidence'of mynaving aeiomplished Jwhat
I designed—the pauishiug.-the perpetrators
of an insult on my country's fiag.
Having invited Flag Officer McKoaft to co
operate with me in attacking the rebels, and
to which he gave a read; and cordial aisont,
I, on the morning of the 22d, opened mV bat*,
teries on tbo enomy, to which, in the course
of half an hoar, he responded from his numer
ous forte and battcrica extending from the
Havy Yard to Fort Moßae, ardUtance ofabout
four miles, tho whole from
thw-foTt, aftd on -wkieJUuia jjrhai. two tytterr.
Mcßae and Baranets —and fonrteon separate
batteries, containing from ono to foar.gans,
many of them being tcn-inch Columbians and
some twelve and thirteen inch eoa mirtars,
the distance varying from 2,100 to 2iWXjyards
from this fort. At the same time of my-opon
ing, Flag Officer McKean, in the Niagara,
and Captain Ellison, in the Richmond,
took position as sear to Eort Mcßae as
the depth of water wonld permit, bat [which
unfortunately was not sufficiently deep to give
full effect to their powerful batteries. [They,
however,, kept up a spirited fire on the adja
eent batteries daring the wbole day. My Ore
was incessant from the time of opening until
it was too dark to see, at the rate of a shot
for each gun every fifteen or twenty minutes,
the lire of-the enemy being somewhat qlowcr.
By noon the guns of Fort Mcßao 'wjre all
silenoed but one, and three hours beforo sun
set this fort and the adjoining battery ceased
fire. I directed the guns of betterieaLincoln,
Cameron and Totten principally on the bat
teries adjacent'to the Navy Yard, tboso of
Battery Scott to Fort Mcßae and the; light
house batteries, and those of the fort ‘to all.
We reduced very perceptibly the fire of paran
c&fl, entirely silenced that in the Navyi Yard,
and in one or two of the batteries the effici
ency of our fire,at the close of tho day, not
being the least impaired.
The next morning 1 again opened: about
the same hour, the navy unfortunately i owing
to a reduction in-the depth of wat<r,]caused
by n change of wind, not being ablo td get so
near as yesterday, consequently the distance
was too great to be effectual. My ire this
day was less rapid, and I think more.efficient,
than that of yesterday. Fort Meßae effec
tually silenoed yesterday, did not fire again
to-day. We silenced entirely one or two guns,
and bad one of oars disabled by dsbotjeomiog
through the embrasure. j
About three O'clock fire wo*cominijoicated
to one of the houses in Warringtop, and
shortly afterwards to the church stoopls* the

they apparently baviogplaoed them purposely

The Kentucky, Legislature and Gov.
Magoffin.
The Frankfort correspondent of tbe Cincin
nati OeueUe has tho following passage in his
last letter, in relation to the Legislature and
the Governor: —-
It is understood that tbe Legislature does I
not propose to adjourn finally until term j
of office has expired, unless tbe present com
plications should be terminated sooner. Mean
time, having disposed of the military business,
the election of Senator, and other maiton of
iuterost, the talk is that about the Friday be
fore Christmas they will take a recoss till
some time in February, or perhaps later still.
It is unfortunate that they still dare hot ad
journ to meet at tho call of tho Governor. Tho
Governor is tho: very last man that would
trouble' them about meetlog, undor any cir
cumstances.
Nevertheless, the relations of Gov. Magoffin
and mfXreglslituro'arb much improved. Some
time agohe sent in the name of his 'son-in- j
law, Nat- Gaither, for confirmation as Secre
tary. of State. Tho Governor is understood to
have expected the Senate to reject the nomi
nation, and to hare been very much sur
prised,- as well as gratified, when they quietly
oonfiniied.it without a dissenting voice. He
-returned the compliment, and yesterday Bent
in the name of John W. Finoell —as sound a
Union man as the State contains—for the office
of -Adjutant General, to which ke had already
temporarily commissioned -him daring tbe
.recess. -
-Still the Governor's position is anomalous. I
His sympathies are well -known to be with 1
Breckinridge,. Buckner, and tho rebels at
Bowling Green. They -even in the
organization of their “Provisional Govern
ment” at RussollvUle, that they only appoint
a Governor to hold the position temporarily,
.“tilt the present lawfully eloctcd Governor of
Kentucky can escape from-the confinement in
ivrhich he is .hold by, the, Lincoln usurpers at
Frankfort.” Yet,:with thjs>. which wpuld
seemtho strongest evidence of complicity-with
tho rebels, the Govornor remains hero, signs'
every bill that is seat to him, and has Actually t
told Union members, “Send them'along,geW
tlemen ; there’s no use being obstinate about
it, I’ll sign anything yon pass.” ~

Tbe Execution of Wm. H. Johnson.
At 3 )4' o'clock Friday afternoon private |
AVm. H. Johnson, of the Lincoln Cavalry, was
publicly shot near Fairfax Seminary, having ;
been convicted of desertion, and sentenced to , 1
death as the penalty. Johnson was born in New ' ’
Orleans, but had lieen for some years a resi
dent <?f New York, having been employed as ,
a clerk in a house in Cedar street previous to j
the war. He enlisted-on the 21st.of August,
Until tbo regiment reached Washington,
Johnson, conducted himself well, but subse
quently he used various artifices te get out
of camp, being averse to discipline and in
every way annoying to his superior officers. j-
As illustrating his unsoldier-nko conduct, it.j
is stated of him that he would Wave tbe camp j
for throe days at a time without leave, and |
come to Washington. He would obtain tbe
countersign by taking bis going a short.j
distance from camp and stopping any person j
who might pass and demanding:from him the |
countersign. Haring obtained this, he. could
readily pass tho guard at night.
The circumstances of his arrest were these.
Qn the' 4th day of December he deserted and
had got beyond our lines ,when he met a for*
aging party, trader command of Col. Taylor,
who inquired of him if be had seen, any
Yankees about. Supposing CoL . Taylor’s
party to be rebels, he said that he was a de
serter from the Yankees, and he stated that
he could givo them any information of the
position of a party of our troop, whiob they
could capture. Seeing the' mistake he had
made, Col. Taylor got all the information he
could, and thon took him into custody and'
brought him to camp.
A-§ourt-mar£ial was at once oonvenOd. Ho
was tried,convicted, and sentenced to be shot,
and Gen. McCJollan approved tho sentence in
a general ordor, from which we rnako the fol
lowingextraot: “ •
“Tbe aforegoing proceedings-of .the .Court* .
martial have boon carefully oxaminddyby the:
Major-General commanding. Tho case is.
marked by every circumstance of aggravation.
-The accused is shown to have entertained, for !
sometime, without cause, tho intention .t 0...
desert. Nay, if he is to bo believed, he en
! listed with that intention. He left-bu camp
| on the 4th of Docembor, 18G1, passed- oar.
j lines, and meeting with a small body of Uni
| ted States forces, whom ho mistook for rebels,
Eroceeded to givo them all the information in
is power, amongst which was a statement
intended to facilitate an attack on an outlying
picket belouging to the National army. V
The proceedings, findings and' sentence of'
the Court-martialiare confirmed, and priv&to
Wm. H. Johnson,' Company D, First Regi
ment New York Volunteer Cavalry, -will ac
cordingly be shot to death with musketry, on
Friday, the 13th December, - 1861* such
hour and place as the Division Commander
may designate. By command of
Major GeneralMcClklLan, -
S. Williams, Assistant Adjutant General.
Gon. Franklin fixed Friday for the exeetr
tion, and tho whole division was drawnup to
witness tho execution. The following drder
was issued by Gen. Franklin, in reference to
the execution :
Tho order of the prooession will be as fol?
lows-:
1. Provost Marshals.
2. Music of the First Now York Volunteer
Cavalry. * .
3. Firing Party. (
4. Coffin, borne by four
5. Prisoner and phaplaih. r
6. Escort, ono company of cavalry, by Col.
Mcßejnolds,Now York Volunteer Cavalry.
When the procession shall havo reached the
right of the division, tho front battalion shall j
face to the rear, an<T~the procession will pass .
between the lines of the battalions around to
tho loft of the division. It will halt and form,
faced to tho northward, on tho fourth side of
the square. During its p&ssago the bands of
the regimonts whiob it passes shall in succes
sion play funeral marches, and after its pas
sage each rogimont in tho Croat lino will in
succession face to-the front.
! As tho procession passod, the utmost eol-
I emnity prevailed. Tho doomed man was
I seated in a wagon, and by his side was a
Catholic priost, who was giving to him the
[list taiofstratlon of religion:' ■Ho held open a
prayer-book before the prisonor,. -who, with
his hood bowed down, was.attentively reciting
a prayer.
When ho had arrived at the place of execu
-1 tion ho alighted from the wagon and seated
1 himself on the coffin. Twelve men, detailed
to execute the sentence,' took their position
about six paces in front. He addressed a few
words to tnem, stating that as follow-soldiers
I he hoped they would forgive him for having
I committed the offence he had, and for this
f that they would not do as he had done. A
few parting words were givon to his spiritual
adviser, Capt. Boyd, and throe or four other
I officers. Auer which, he prepared himself to
j have the sentence exeouted. He was seated
I on his coffin when the word we* given to fire.
] Eight balls pierced various parts of bis body,
1 but as be only showed a slight tremor, tho re-,-
serro was ordered to fire, and four other shots
were fired, ono of which entered his eye and
I another his mouth, and ho fell back dead.
1 His body was then put iu his ooffin, and was
convoyed to Washington for interment.'
1 Tho effect of this execution will probably be
salutary in enforcing a stricter discipline. The
I leniency horotofore shown by the command-
I ing General to men convicted, of military of*
I fences, of which tho penalty is doath, has not
boon appreciated, and tho instances o( sleep
_l ing on postand dosortion have notdimipished,
' j and the aggravated circumstances connected
with Johnson's case demanded that an exam
t plo be made of him, or else allow the troops
• I to suppose that immunity had boon given to
' I desertion. ' ■

TOE REBEL FOTOMIC IKKT.
Scouts have noticed recently a marked in
crease in tho number of tents in th 4 .Rebel
Potomaoarmy, which confirms tbeintillgonco
that It has been largely reinforced. -A pris
oner taken yesterday says that the rebel gen

attaok our advance,, which they expectedto
find off guard, and adds that four days! rations
had already been given out to the troops.
THE EXPEDITION MEXICO.
It is not true that Government has deolined
the proposition of the three powers' that it
should take 'part in the expedition j against
Mexico. But there is reason to beliive that'
our share of a .fleet to which England,' France
and Spain contribute 1,505 guns, will not be
