whizzing over our heads. Ws were fiat

to write it. There - we had to lay and
'take the fire of four of their gym. 1 felt a
little-curious about that time. I assure you,
to hear the shells bursting oak necking the
fences and stones all around us. At last
we saw Easton's battery coming down the
pike at a full run and taking a position a
bout twenty yards to the' left of us. Gen.
Ord ordered us forward into the thicket.
We were glad enorgh to get out of the
way of the shells; but we were run right
in the range of their musketry. Our regi•
ment was halted in the rear of the Buck
tails,.but bur company went in with them
and were in the hottest part of the fight.
We nearly all took trees, and fired at will
until we were ordered to cease firing, when
we got our company together and went
back to our regiment. I had no idea that
men could keep io cod in an engagement.
Why, nearly every one had a Smile on his
lace while the balls flew like hail, knock
ing the bark and leaves from the trees. I
was standing behind a small chestnut tree,
a ball struck the aide of the tree and knock

the blood come a little, but didn't hurt
mush. They attempted to make a charge
on us but as they came out of the thicket

rebels in every direction they having fled
in the utmost confusion, leaving. guns,
blankets, coats. tke., on the ground; they
even cut their cartridge boxes off and left
them in their hasty retreat. I saw some
awful sights in the fracas, three rebels were
laying near the battery, two with their
heads torn completely on and one with-hie
.whole breast mashed ia."
113" We learn from the Paris Pruse (by
the Niagara) that Jefferson Davis is engag
ed preparing a memorandum to be ad
dressed to all Europe.• This document
treats of the question of secession, declares
that the war undertaken by' the Northern
States will not lead to any result, and that
the separation is already, a legal fact. With
a view, however, to put an end to a much
lamented contest. and tirevent great tuts
fortunes, the memorandum will propose an
amicable separation or basis to be decided
in common—the Southern States being
teady to agree to any arrangement compat
ible with the dignity of all parties."
This protect is another indication of the
desperate straits to which the leaders of
the rebellion are being reduced. They ev
idently feel that if there is no intervention
on the iirt of foreign nations to. sustain
them, their infamous schemes will prove
unsuccessful. All the refugees from - the
South agree in theatatement that the peo
ple of the rebellious States are subjected to
ruinous embarrassments and sufferings,and
that the planters will be hopelessly ruined
if the present condition of ' affairs is not
soon changed.

Destructila Fire at Washington.
Government /Medea and 500 Hundred
Horses Burnt.
WASUINGTON. DEC. 28 --About 7 o'clock
to-night, a fire broke out in the Government
stables near the War Department. where
they had about 2000 horses. and barnesa
for moat of them. The stables consisted
of ten separate sheds, 32 feet wide and a
bout 400 feet long. in each of which were
some 200 horses. sod so rapidly did the
fire spread, that it was impossible to save
all the horses.
A large number of men were soon on
the ground, and commenced liberating the
horses, many of them refused to leave the
burning sheds, and some rushed back, and
plunging into the flames, laid down to die.
Those released gatheredln droves and gal
loped frantically all over the city.
The cries of those who were burning up
as the fire reached them, were the most
piteous we ever heard, resembling those of
human beings. The timely arrival of

ment of the Second and Third Infantry',
who set to work, and with the aid of citi.
zens and teamsters, tore down four of the
stables.
There were about 500 good draught
horses burned and about 1000 sets of bar.
netts. The home were good ones and
had been broke into hauling heavy wagdne.
The fire originated by one of the team
sters dropping a lantern into a bundle of
hay. One good meant fire engine could
have saved $75,000 to the government, if
it had reached there 25 minutes after the
fire broke out.
A house and barn in the rear of the sta
bles were also consumed.
The demolishing' of some sheds. and the
wind being very' low, is i all that saved the
fire from spreading several squares down
to the Potomac. The loss is estimated at
$lOO,OOO.
The stampede of horsectushing through
the crowds and . around the corners Caused
many serious accidents, and we hear cf one
man reported killed, who fell dents while
crossing the street. near the National Do
tel. and was trampled ..upon by them.
onststovon, Dec. 27.—The reports
XentsNorth concerning the fire at the-Gov
ernment stables, last night, were grossly
exaggerated. Not one hundred horses were
burned, and the less will not reach $lOO,
000.
A number of fugitives from the vicinity
of Waterford. Loudon county,, Va., six
miles aboveLeriburg, succeeded' in ma.
king their escape through the Rebel pick
ets; and crossed the Potomac on Tuesday
night. More besides themselves have e
s ped from that vicinity in 'various ways,
a d others are expected nightly.
The sudden - hodus seems to have been
caused by an attempted enforcement of. the
military order which was flit responded to
by a large number of Virginians therea
bouts. Three orders were issued to in
crease the militia force. The fi'rst order
commanded all males between 21 - and 26

Government- of France announcy, respect

the transaction."
"The intelligencer says. in eoneletion:
"Whatever, therefore, may be said by any
in the way of exception to the — extreme
terms of the demand made by the British
Government in the case of the Trent, it is
at least just to admit that the case has been
so adjusted by the Government as to sub
serve; we would hope, the gre)t cease of
neutral rights against the isrumptions
heretofore asserted by England, but non
repudiated by that power in common with
France and the United States. The law
of nationi, as traditionally interpreted by
our Government, has received a 'le* sanc
tion, though at the cost,it may be, of some
national sensibility. waked into dispropor-
tionate activity by •the - temporary meet ,
bations of civil audit: The latter,' let us
remember. are but for a day—the law of
nations is for all time."
The intelligence, contains five columns
of the correspondence. The despatch
from Earl Russell, her Britannic Majesty's
Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, af
ter reciting the capture of these parties to
have been made, proceeds to characterize
it as an outrage on the British flag, and
alter exprealing the hope and belief that it
had not been authorized by our Govern
ment, asks a reparation appropriate to
such an aggression, that the four gentle
men designated should be released, that 1111 ,

ward after reviditring the circumstances
under which the arrest was effected, ac
cording to the report or ma naval officers
and thus developing the inaccuracies and
omissions of the British statements, pro
ceeds to analyze the facts and principles of
public law involved in the case, and ar
rives at the conclusion that the neglect of
Capt. Wilkes, partly involuntary as it was
on his part, to bring the Trent in fur trial
as a lawful prize, may be justly held - to
operate as a forfeiture of the belligerent
right of capttire aceuring under the laws of
nations, tied that the Government of the

So far as regards the apology asked by
the British Governaient, none is tendered.,
because a simple statement of the facts
as they-pre suffices to' show that no of
fence could have been intended on the part
of our Government. and to conform to the
rules of public law, was dictated by con-.
siderations of kindness and forbearance.
The decision of the President in this of
fair as announced and explained in the lu
cid despatch of Mr. -Seward." says the
,National bitelligencei.. has the approval of
every member of the Cabinet.
Mr. Bewail in conclusion says I

cannot afford such a sacrifice. If I main
