1861. Tb- ortbern Recniltlnc Serrle. Since the battle at Manaaeas Plains and the retain of come 80,000 of the three months Tolanteers to their homes, Mr. Lin-cola bas experienced great difficult in getting recruits to fight tor and uphold his despotism. The Northern journals were filled with arguments in iavor of immediate enlistments, chief of which were the Union and the preserration of the Govt-rn-ment.

The people, eren of the North, had discretion enough to see that their interests would be promoted bj attending to their own business. They saw that fighting for the Union and being killed, was neither for their interest nor for that of their wives and children. This was motive eooogh to deter them from enlietiog. Honest Abe. therefore, tas not been able to obtain, at once, the army of half a million tbat Congress graciously allowed Lim.

He never will be able to get ttem unless the alternative of starvation or enlistment is presented to them. He knows this, and has issued hie proclamation forbidding all commercial intercourse between the United aod Confederate States, By this means he expects to throw the Northern laborers out of employment, and thus produce the only condition on which he can a recruits. In this way lie may get his armies, and only in this way. They will enlist under a necessity, just as imper ative as if they were commanded on pain cf death to go into the army. They will only oley this necessity.

Hence volunteering and recruiting is exceedingly slow and discouraging. From the moat authentic accounts we cannot conclude tbat the Northern populace evince the earnest desire to be whipped, routed, killed and taken prisoners. They don't fall into line briskly. It is quite true that the proclama tions of Nonhern Governors represent the Rational ipital in very great danger but they said the same in April, and thereby made many a grave and many a widow and orphan. They have bad four months to cut their eye-teeth aDd they have doHfe it.

"The flag" is also about played out. They have found out tbat it is just about as manly to etay at home and take care cf the old folks, and their wives and children, as it is to go and be shot down and leave their parents and families to starve. The despot and his tdrisers know this, and they are using every moans in their power to conceal the facts, and to obtain victims in their unholy crusade against tbe South. They will eventually but slowly succeed, and their will learn, sooner or later, that they are victimized by their ambitious rulers and tyrants. Gex.

Rosecbans has issued an order stating that no prisoner who "taken wilh arm3 in hand, or with any evidence of inten- tion or preparation to pursn otner man a perfectly peaceable course, will be released; bit as soon bb he will be forwarded, with a full statement of his case," to his headquarters. Whether he acta upon bis own responsibility, or on instructions from Washington, is not stated. It is evident that the question of the disposition of prisoners ia a bard nut to crack with Lincoln and his satraps. They dare not murder our men, for the obvious reason that we have tea to one 'prirouers. It they treat our men as prisoners of war, they will thereby recognize us as belligerents; if they hang our friends, they will have ten to one4of theirs hung.

In fact this means tbat we are an independent nation. It will be more apparent hereafter. Etb.es: A wriUr for the N. Y. Tribune has discovered that all the reverses the North has suffered are attributable to the free use of vhikv bv the officers and men of Lincoln's armies.

Some weeks since, says the New Orleans Delta of tbe 25th, we stated, on the authority of a Cincinnati paper, that a letter had been vl from Corwin. the Federal minister to Mexico, stating that he had obtained from ho Morgan povernment the privilege of marching Federal troops through its territory for the invasion of the southwestern portion of tbe Southern Confederacy.

The subjoined extract, from the Mexican paper at klatamoras, El Noticioso, seems to be a confirmation of the statement. The Houston Telegraph of the 17th inst- from which we take the translation, remarks edi- tonally: From tbe Matamoras Noticioso of tbe 2d met- iut received, we take the following ex tract from a journal published at the city of Mexico. Tne JNoucioeo doubts its genuine ness. We do not, however, for reasons we have twice given before. Corwin ia carrying out nis mission as sure as rate, and baa tbor oughly involved Mexico in his plans.

Our belief is tbat Texas is to be invaded both by land and sea, as Boon as the weather becomes cool. Tbe invasion will doubtless be by tbe southwest. It is not impossible tbat Wilson's Zouaves are being acclimated at Santa Rosa Inland for use in Texas. Let us be prepared. The extract from El Noticioso is as follows: We give now a report, connected with facta previously published by us, and which is full ot importance and interest.

Air. Corwin has petitioed the Mexican gov ernment to grant free passage through Mexico to sucn troops as may be ordered by tbe gov ernment at Washington to operate against tbe Southern States of tbe Union, under guaranty of a special treaty which is said to allay all suspicion which might otherwise have arisen as to tbeir destination and the inten tion of the government he represents. Tbe government has at once granted the requited permission fully and without any condition or guaranties, and Mr. Corwin says tbat this ample proof of the confidence and eood will on behalf of Mexico cannot fail to influence its future destiny, and will, at all events, be gratefully acknowledged by the American government.

Powell, of the Natchez Fencibles, as one of the trophies secured by bim after the battle of Manassas Plain. It is peculiarly rich, particularly that part which baa reference to President Davis. It was evidently written before the battle, when the poor deluded wretch was in good heart, and saw a bright hope in the future before him: Wabhixqtok, July, 1861.

5fy Detrr Wife: I write you a few lines, to inform you. tbat prechance this may be the last time that I may have the chance of do ing so tor me time. We are on tbe march to Richmond, by the way of Manassas. The lew rebels that are there will be no obstacles tons. We will completely demolish them; and once in Richmond, the whole South will be subjugated.

As boou as we are in the city, my and your brothers will be home, to give you ao account of the irreat victory achieved over tbe rebels. I will send you, as I promised, a lock of hair and a piece ot Jeff. Davis' calp, by brother, and a few little memorials tbat I may take from the rebels, such as watches, rings or money. As soon as my time is out, which will be on the 22d. I will be home, if there is no further movement of importance; but I am boundVlo see tbe march through.

I must bring this to a close. My love to all the family. Your afi'ectiooate husband, J. A. MINOR, First Regiment Maine D.

New Rifled Canon. Mr. Thomas Sumner, an employee in the Georgia Railroad Machine Shop, in this city, has invented an completed a rifled cannon, which we were kindly permitted to inspect this morning. To give anything like a detailed description of this gun, is beyond our power, but a pnet sKetcn oi us main peculiarities may be of interest. Tbe cannon is made out of a crans axle ot the first engine ever used on tbe Georgia Road, and is therefore of the best wrought iron, as well as tbe carriage, Ac.

It has a vibrating breech with two chambers, ao1 the loading is "sent home" in each compartment by means of levers, and a lever also for moving the breech. Either fuse, cap or any other practicable method of firing tbe piece can be adopted. The loading and firing can be done with the greatest rapidity fact which must make tbe invention of -undoubted effi ciency on the batue-neia. a screw aajusis tbe sight to a nicety, so tnav oue can -uraw a bead" on a distant object and be pretty sure of striking it. Tbe ball is conical in shape, of cast iron.

and weighs about five pounds. Near the small end is a circle of lead which projects from tbe surface, and this is used so tbat tbe iron will not come in actual contact wilh the sides ot the interior, to its injury. Mr. Sumner also uses tbe same principle in altering muskets or rifles, and he has now a musket altered from an old piece, which he intends to exhibit, with the at the Gunmakers' Convention in Atlanta to-morrow. Ha says guns altered by his method can be made equal to three ordinary pieces.

We are of opinion the invention, most impor tant as it is at this time, will produce a sen sation, and will ensure the fortune oi tne worthy inventor, who is an industrious, hardworking man, and deserving of 8 access. He has filed a caveat and will secure a patent for bis invention. Tbe invention is to be called the "Sumner Oscillating Breach-Loading Rifis Gun." Augusta (Uh) Utroiucie. Funeral of Gen. Lyon.

Tbe New York Independent is now devoting itself almost exclusively to tne enterprise or compelling tbe Government to make war di rectly noon slavery. Its editor and its stated contributors, among wbom aie several wri ten of anusual vigor, appear to have turned their attention to thia subject, with a view to create a current of popular feeling which tbe Administration will be unable to resist- Tbe measure which they propose is. that the Pres ident shall, by proclamation, dnuare freedom to the slaves of tbe South, and invite tbem to rise and take possession of and defend their liberties. i i Tbe papers, editorial and communicated, of the Independent, are written by clergymen; in most caes dv men oi anown eminence in tbeir -'profes-non.

Tbe Independent enjoys a wide circulation, and no public journal in the United Slates, perhaps, exerts an influence more extensive. Its writers speak with official authority, and to many thousands tbeir opinions nave ail tne iorce of divine oracles nere is, to sucn as would not approve ot the, measure proposed, reason to dread its influence. It may be said, to the credit of the Inde- i i penaem, inai mey snow no disposition to un derrate tne consequences of tbe measure they propose, indeed, it is for its presumed destructive effects tbat they propose it.

Tbey do not deny that this is what they intend to substitute iu the place of the present condition; but on tbe contrary, pi ulcus mj ueueve mat ine war is a means in stttnted by divine Providence, with a special view to bring about the change which tbey What an argument an infidel might make against religion from the cruelty of its min isters in an ages or the world, and in all forms ot relitnou.

tbe Priest has been crnel The smell of blood in his garments, which he caught at tbe altar where human victims were immolated when the world was new. still remains to stimulate bis appetite. A man may be tenderly nurtured and oolitelv educated; he may eat of tbe delicatetit. and recline upon the downiest; be may bave soft white hands, aod a gentle voice, 'and be tbe oracle of society, the center of public admi ration, and the especial agent of God upon eartu, and yet be a barbarian. It is an awful fact that tbey who invariably give the cruel est counsels are they who profess to speak in the name of tbe most merciful of beings Where are we to go tor an explanation Of so irignuui an anomaly I The dominant idea in tbe minds of the wri ters of tbe Independent evidently is this: tbat the troubles into which the country is plung ed must be taken advantage ot to put an end to slavery, or a settlemeut by division will take place, through which their occupation, as anti-slavery agitators, will be gone for ever.

hue, therefore, tbey exaggerate by every effort of perversion and amplification, the dangers that beset the country, aud tbe evils tbat must spring from a division, tbey present emancipation by force as the only possible resource. Tbey insist tbat, to subdue tbe South by the processes of ordinary warfare, is utterly impracticable tbat to conquer a brave aud determined people on their own soil, however great tbe disparity of numbers and means, never has been done: and that we bave no reason to suppose tbat it will be our lot to do what so many others bave failed to accomplish. The writers of tbe Independent refuse to con eider, under any imaginable contingency, tbe question ot a division and separate indepen dence; and a correspondent is editorially re but ed tor a communication, admitted through inadvertence, in which was presented the al ternative, "separation or Emancipation." They bold tbat in tbe content tbat id now go ing on, tbe North or the South, one or tbe otb. must conquer; tbat the war most be carried on against slavery as long as there is weapon to lift, or a hand to lift it; and. substantially, tbat if tbe North cannot con quer the South, tbe conquest of tbe North by tbe South ia tbe next thing in tbe order of re sult, to be desired.

We are. therefore, called upon to consider tbe probable efficacy of the means proposed and advocated with so much vigor and force ot language by tbe entire editorial and sub- editonal staff ot an influential and widely circulated newspaper, as tbe only oues by which there is even a remote probability that tbe Government will succeed in what it has undertaken. Whatever may be the actual effect of the measure, in case it should be adopted, it Is. to them, through a servile war aud its attendant horrors, tbe single and only solution of our difficulties; and if it should happen to fail to call a servile war into being, tbeu the case ot the Government, as tbey un derstand it, is hopeless, and we may look upon ourselves a a conquered people. may therefore consider, lor this occa sion only, that the cause of Government, law and civil liberty, in tbe Northern Slates, bang upon the question What will be the effect of a proclamation by the President of tbe United States, declaring that tbe slaves of tbe Southern States are free, and no longer under obligation to serve their masters.

It will be admitted tbat tbe proclamation can be carried into effect by force no faster than our armies progress into tbe terlitory of the its efficiency in aid of the cause of the Government will consist in its power to ex cite insurrectionary movements in advance of our columns; and that therefore if it does not excite such movements, tbe plan may be considered as having failed, and the cause of civilization be set down as ruined. We are inclined to believe that a procla mation by the President of freedom to the slave would produce about as much disturb ance in the seceded btates as bis recent pro clamation of a day of fasting aud prayer did in tbe loyal ones. Tbe insurrectionary spir- if any exists, would not be perceptibly increased or diminished by it. The negroes believe more now of tbe benevolent intentions ot tbe Government tban tbey could be in formed in innumerable proclamations. If they are desirous, as it is supposed they are, to rise, it is not proclamations that tbey waut, but opportunity.

Every day develops evidence tbat tbe South has gone into this affair with a full moral preparation to meet all its exigencies, from whatever quarter tbey may come. has been, thus far, able to outnumber the forces of the Government in any field ot operations; and there is no reason to suppose tbat it has not men and women enough left at home to see to its domestic relations. We say, then, tbat it will not do for the Government to rely upon emancipation proclamations to reduce tbe South to obedience. If this great work tbe heaviest cootract that has been undertaken by any Government of modern times is to be accomplished, force directly applied is the only means upon which dependence can be placed. War must be made as one nation or people makes war upon another.

We have been prone to look at the weakness of the South, and to rely upon tbat rather than npon oar own strength for victory. It is true that this was discontinued. Whether the South has or has not arms, clothing or provisions, she is in the field with an army that outnumbers onr own. We have waited for ber armies to disband through starvation aod nakedness. They still threaten the seat of the National Government.

Wilh the successes, ao far, npon her side, we do not stand in a position effectively to proclaim any thing. The South has a Government whose efficiency is unpleasant contrast with oar own. It exhibits the deuce of unity in its counsels, and directness and courage in iu determinations. On onr side tbe times demanded not proclamations but performances, er the days is not far distant when weeball stand shamed tor our incapa city in the eyes of the wnol world.

Rosk- cravz has issued the following proclamation, Hkadquabtois, ATnr OccviMTioir 1 Wsbrbm VuuaxiA, Cluuusbcbs, Ala.

20, 1861. To da Loyal Inhabitant! of Western Virginia: jou' are the vast majority ot the people. If the principle of self government is to be respected, you nave a right to stand In tbe position yon bave assumed, faithful to the constitution and laws of Virginia as they were oeiore ne ordinance ot secession. The Confederates have determined at all hazards to destroy tbe Government which. lor eighty years, has defended our rights and given as name among the nations.

Contrary to yoor interests and your wishes, tbey bave orougut war upon your soil. Tbeir tools and dupes told you you must vote for Secession as tbe only means to insure peace: tbat un less you did so, hordes of Abolitionists would overrun you, plunder your property, steal your slaves, abuse your wives and daugh ters, seize upon yoor lands, and hang all those who opposed them. By these and other atrocious falsehoods they alarmed yon, and led many honest and unsuspecting citizens to vote tor Secession Neither threats, nor fabrications, nor intimi dations, sufficed to carry Western Virginia, against the interests and wishes of its people, into the arms of secession. Enraged that yon dared to disobey tbeir oenest, siastern Virginians, who bad been accustomed to rule you and count your votes, ana ambitious recreants from among your selves, disappointed tnat you would not maKe good their promises, have conspired to tie you to tbe desperate fortunes of tbe Confederacy, or drive yon from your houses. Between submirsion to tbem and subjugation or expulsion they leave you no alterna tive.

ou say you do not wish to destroy tbe old Government, under which you have lived so long and peacefully; tttey say you shall break it up. You say you wish to remain citizen ot the United States; they reply, you snail join the southern Confederacy, to which tbe Richmond junta has tran-ferred you, and to carry tbeir will, their Jenkins, Wise, Jack son, and other conspirators, proclaim upon your soil a relentless aud neighborhood war; their misguided or unprincipled followers re-echo their cry, threatening fire and sword. hanging and expulsion to all who oppose tbeir arbitrary designs. Tbey have set neighbor against neighbor, and friend agaiat friend; they bave introduced among you warfare only known among savages. In violation of tbe laws of nations and humanity, tbey bave proclaimed tbat private citizens may and ought to make war.

Oder this bloody code, peaceful citizens. unarmed travelers, and single soldiers, bave beeu shot and even the wounded and defenseless have been killed; scalping their victims is all that is wanting to make their warfare like tbat wbich seventy or eighty years ago was waged by the Indians against the white race on this very ground You bave no alternative left you but to unite as one man iu Ibe defense of your homes, for the restoration of law aud order, or be tub- jugated or expelled from the soil. 1, tberelore, eaam-stiy exhort you to take the most prompt and vigorous measures to put a nop to neighborhood and private wars; you must remember that the laws are sus pended in Eisiern Virginia, wbich has trans ferred Itself to tbe Southern uontederocy. The old Constitution and laws of Virginia are only in force in Western Virginia. These laws you must maintain.

Let every citizen, without reterene to past political opinions, unite with his neighbors to keep thesf laws in operation, and thus pre vent the country from being desolated by plunder and violence, whether committed iu the name ot Secession or Unionism. I conjure all those who bave hitherto advo cated tbe doctrine of Secessionism, as a poli tical opinion, to consider tbat now its advo cacy mans war agtinst tbe peace aud inter est of Western Virgiuia, it is an iuvitatlon to tbe Southern Confederates to come in and subdue you, and proclaims tbat there can be no law nor right until this is done. My mission among you is tbat cf a lellow- citizen, charged by ibe liovernment to expel the arbitrary force which domineered over you, to restore that law and order of wbich you have beeu robbed, aud to maintain your right to govern ourselves under tbe Consti tution and laws ot the United folates. To pu afi end to the savage war waeed by individuals, who. without warrant of military authority, lurk iu the bushes and waylay or shoot sentries, I shall be obliged to bold tbe neighborhood ia wbich these outrages are committed as responsible, and unless they raise tbe hue and cry and pursue the offenders and deal with them as accessories to tbe crime.

Unarmed and peaceful citizens shall be protected, the rights of private property re spected, and only those who are found ene mies of the Government of the United States, and tbe peace or Western Virginia, will be disturbed. Of these I shall require absolute certainty that tbey will do no mischief. rut a stop to needless arrests aud tbe spread of malicious reports. Let each town aud district choose five of its most reliable aud energetic citizens a Committee of Public Safety, to act in concert with the civil and military authorities, and be responsible tor the preservation of peace and good order. Citizens ot Western Virginia, your fate is mainly in your own bauds.

If you allow yourselves to be trampled under foot by hoi des ot disturbers, plunderers, aud murder ers, your land will become a desolation. If you stand firm tor law and order, and main tain your rights, you may dwell together peacelully aud happily as in former days. W. S. ttOSECRAKZ.

The Charleston Courier's Richmond corres pondent, under date of ihe 24th gives the following: I met with a gentleman yesterday who was in Major Patten's command when they were attacked, four hundred cf them by two regi ments under a black flag no quarter given, none asked. One of tbem was an Uhio regi ment, tbe other purporting to be Keotcuky. It was said tbere was one Kentuckian in it, the rest were Irish and Dutch.

Our men killed four hundred and fifty of them, and took thirteen prisoners, with a loss of five killed and about twenty wounded. It took place a few weeks ago in Western Virginia, about twelye miles from Cbarla-towa. This was simply mentioned in tbe papers as a skirmish, There has been many a brave deed performed there by our troops wblcu has passed unheralded. Among the mountains away from the telegraph wires or mail routes, thinking not of sounding forth their achievements, anxious only to rid the country of her foes, tbey are suffering untold hardships.

The waters of this lake are ao strong of Salt that on the shore where the water recedes it leaves a crust of Salt sufficiently strong enough to bear up a man; in tact, several inches thick. The location is perfectly healthy, and food. fuel, in abundance. The Salt can be shipped at all times to Charleston and Savannah, at very low rates. There is, perhaps, no place in the world where Salt could be made more cheaply.

We left Centreville without knowing that a repulse had been felt, or that a retreat to that point bad been ordered.

Jogging leisurely down the asbington road, perhaps ten minutes certainly not more ahead of Mr. Russell, we saw nothing of tbe flogging, lashing, spurring, beating and abandoning tbat be so graphically describes Tbe road was as quiet and clear as if no army were in the viciaity. A mile from Oentreviue, we met that jNew Jersey regi ment, a private of which, Mr. Russell hhvs, IhrMtLnH 1 1 t'ahrhtt li -n if nnt halt The officers were turning back the fugitives not a dozen in all that were on tbeir way; but, recognized as a civilian, as tbe Times' correspendeut must have beeu. we pasned to the rear unchallenged.

Mr. Rus sell, at this moment, could uot have been hall a. mile behind us. Pushing ou slowly, we were overtaken by CoL Hunter's carriage, in which he. wounded, was going to the city.

Mr. Russell saw it, or says be saw it, attended by an escort of troopers.at tbe head Ot wbom was a it right to take charge of his chief aud leave bis bat talion." We saw no troopers nor Major. lion Isaac pi Arnold, of ibe House, was rid ing oy tne side of the vehicle, and he, a smooth faced gentleman in the grab of a civi'ian, may have been misiakerr by our own correspondent," for a dou'itful man of war. roscibly two nul-'s and a half from Centreville, we stopped al a road-side farm bou-e for a cup ot water. Wbile drinking, Mr.

Russell passed. We recognized him, rode along and were soon engaged with him in a discussion of tbe causes of ibe check it was not then known to be anything more; and. in bis company we went on thrgh in all a uisiauce of six or eight miles; aud we can affirm tbat not one incident which he relates as happening in tbat stretch had auy foundation iu fact. We saw nothing of that fciuglisbman of wbom be stys -It was about this time 1 met a cart by the roadside surrounded by a group of soldiers. some ot wbom bad G9 on their caps.

Tbe 1 owner, as I took him to be, was iu great dis tress, and cried out as 1 passed, can you tell me, sir, where the C9ih are Tnese men iy thev are rut In nieces iin'l tpll irnn 'I'm in charge of tbe mails, sir, and 1 11 deliv er tbem if I die for it You are a gentleman and 1 can depend on your word. Ia it safe lor me to go ou Not knowihg the eMeut of the Jtbaclt, 1 aasured him it was, aud asked tbe men of the regiment how they happened to be there bure tbe Colonel himself told us to go off every man ou his own hook, and to flyJTor onr lives, replied one of tbem. Tbe mail agent, wbo told me be was an English man, started tbe cart again. 1 sincerely hope no bad result to himseit or bis charge followed my advice." We rode into Fairfax together. 'I reached Fairfax (Pourt House; tbe peo ple, black and white, with anxious at the doors, and tbe infantry under arms I was besieged with questions, though hundreds ot tugiuves bad passed through before me.

It is a small matter, this, but it marks the character of the man. Not a question was asked of Mr. Kus-ell, nor of us; not a '-fugi tive," we dare affirm, bad passed that way; tbe infantry another New Jersey Regiment, if we are uot mistaken were at their usual evening parade, supposing, no doubt, tbat tbeir companions iu arms bad won a great victory. "At one house I stopped to ask for water for my horse; the owner sent his servant btr it cheerfully, the very house where we had iu vain asked for something to eat in the fore noon. 'There's a fright among I observed, in reply to his question concerning the commissariat drivers.

'They're afraid of the enemy's 'Are you an Ameri said tho man. 'No, 1 am 'Well, then, be said, 'there will be cavalry ou tbem soon enough. 1 here's twenty thousand of tbe best horsemen in the world in Virginny.7 At the littie one-horse tavern in Fairfax. tbe horses Mr. and our own were wat ered by a servant; but the reported conver sation did not take place.

A short distance from tbat inn, Mr. Russell put spurs to bis animal, aud, riding furiously, left us behind; be picked up ample material lor misrepresentation, however, as be went. We point oct tbe greatest falsehood, if one falsehood can be greaeer than another, io tbe columns tbat he has devoted to the villification of our troops. "Washington was still eighteen miles away. The road was rough and uncertain, and again my poor steed was under wav; but it was of no use trying to outstrip the runawaysj Once or twice 1 imagined I beurd guns in tbe rear, but I conld not he sure, in consequence of the roar of tbe flight behind me.

it was most surprising to see bow far the foot sol diers bad contrived to go on in advance." It must bave been surprising iadeed! From the moment of meeting tbe First New Jersey Regiment, ot wbich we bave spoken, not a soldier, unless one of a baggage or picket guard, did we see on ihe road not one. The wagons going in were few, and their progress was not such as to indicate tbat tbey were making a retreat We faced train after train going out with supplies, without guard and without suspicion tbat the army was beaten and in flight. The defeat was not known to any on tbe road, not even to Mr. Russell, wbo informed qs that onr army would fall back and encamp for tbe night, only to re new the battle the next day. The "roar of the flight behind me" is a stretch of the ima gination.

We were "behind me," and beard the guns and marked tbe time as 7.15; but save our poor old thick-wiuded steed, tbere was not another horse on tbe road within our sight. A few carriages with wounded, a few retiring civilians none making haste, noae suspecting tbe finale tbat was reached soon passed us; but not an armed man, trooper or footman, was anywhere near. Mr. Russell in the next paragraph confesses as mncb. "It was a strange ride, tbrougb a country now still as death, the white road shining like a river in the.

moonlight, tbe trees black as ebony in the shade; uow aod tbem a figure flitting by into the forest or aoross the road frightened friend, or lurking foe, who could say Then the anxious pickets and Gentries all asking "What's the news and evidently prepared for auy amount of loss," The truth is probably this The imaginative correspondent left the battle ground before any contusion occurred, and when tbe retrograde movement was ordered. Hearing tbe exaggerated stories of what came to be a flight, after he got into Washington, on Monday, while the excitement was at i' hight, he wove then into his letter as facta ot his own observation. The rout was disgraceful enough to make any man's blood cold in his veins, but it was not what Mr. Russell describes. As we hikve aseerkd, he did not see it.

Privateering. Tbe Privateer Dixie, wbich sailed from a port in the Confederate State some weeks ago, returned lately attar successful cruise. Soon after getting to sea she took the bark Glen, from Philadelphia for Torgugas, with a cargo of coal, wbich vessel was successfully run into Beaufort, Jf. C. She afterwards captured the schooner Mary Alice, from the West Indies, for New York, which vessel was afterwards retaken by the steam frigate Wabash.

The Mary Alice had on board a valuable cargo of Sugar, and was consequently worth something. The bark Rowena, from Lsguayra, for Philadelphia, with 1,000 bags of coffee, was also captured and got successfully into and as both vessels and cargo are in good order it was a valuable prize. Tbe Rowena is a fine bark of about 340 tons, rating about A li, and the coffee is do doubt worth here forty cents a pound. Out of this tbe Dixie will no doubt be able to declare a dividend. The brig Robert R.

Kirkland, from Turks Island, ot and for Baltimore, with a cargo of salt, was also spoken, but after frightening tba Captain the Kirkland was allowed to proceed, Baltimore vessels not being legal captures. The Dixie was chased into a neighboring harbor by one of Lincoln's steamers, but she got in safe and sound, and will soon be ready tor another shot at tbe enemy. Bign praise is due Lieut. D. Benton for the handsome manner la whioh be brought the Dixie into Bull's Bay, while being chased by one of Lincoln's steamers.

Lieut. Beaton is a native of Georgetown, S. and a gallant and efficient officer. CW-ritr, 4 Andrew oh aeon at hla Foal Work We find tbe following libellous letter io the N. Y.

We bave just decided to proceed to Camp Robinson near, Lancaster. We are out of money, and traveling on the generosi snd hospitality of our Union friends of Kentucky. We left onr homes by different loutes. ind are together at ibis point as it were by You may.

rest assured tbat the state of thing- in East Tennessee is Many ol our people, upon bare suspicion, are arrested and taken prisoners, insulted, abused, aud taken into military camps, there to he disposed of as tbe rebel mob think proper, Squads of cavalry aod intautry are coitttnu ally scouring the country, offering our people, male and female, evety indignity that these ruffian bands are capable ol; destroy iug our crops aud subsistence, without regard to tbe condition or circumstances of the per- nons; pasturing their horses in our corn fields wasting our bay stacks, taking provisions of every description without regard to quantity not even asking the price or tendering an toirivalent therefor in any shape whatever. Tbe violators of law, of order, and tbe Constitution, are upon usin-ibe name of "Se cession." I may say to you, in fact, the de stroyer is upon us. We still bave hope, and look to tbe Government ol our fathers for protection and support agaiust usurpation and our ruthless invaders. May God aud the Government come to our aid aud rescue us from the hands and destruction of the van dais now upon us Tbe beart and the feel ings of tbe people of Tennessee are stilt for tbe Union, and will so continue as long as there is one gleam of hope left to an oppress ed and down-trodden people. Let us bave arms aud tbe munitions of war and we will drive these invaders of human rights beyond tbe borders of our state, or tbe last man will perish in tbe attempt.

1 be Eat Tennessean8 are trying to get in to Kentucky for tbe purpose of arming and organizing companies, battalions, regiments, and brigades, or in such force, wi'b whatever aid we can receive from Kentucky and else where, snd then going back to their native homes to relieve those wbom tbey have left behind. We expect now to reach Camp Rob inson in three or four days, where we shall meet a large number of our Eiet Tennessee friends, aud. if possible, hope you will be there soon to aid us by your counsel. If you know where tbe Hon. 11.

Maynard is, communicate the above to bim tbat he may assist, it possible, in giving us aid. Ibe Hon treorge W. Badges was taken prisoner on Aug. i. He came to Monticello, and ven tured back to see about bis family, who were coming by Jamestown, and in so doing was taken prisoner three miles inside of the kto tucky line.

Myself and came with him, and considered him out of reach of the enemy. We bave not been back home since, 1 cannot write all. We need help lrom tbe tjroverument and must bave it, or we are lost. Your friend, Hon. Johnson.

From Pensaeola. We get the following items of news from the Pensaeola Observer, 26th inst: U.ndkr Martial Law. We call the atten tion of the public to the Order from Head quarters Troops C. near this city, by wbich tne iuy oi reusacoia, and its immediate vi cinity is declared under Martial Law. It is generally well known tbat tbe city was con Bidered under Martial Law since some time in April last, (we believe,) but the law was never enforced.

Tbe present order, therefore, is to notify tbe public of its being now rigid ly enforced, although the functions of the civil authorities are not suspended by it. ouicide. a young man, named (Joleman, from laUahassee, a grand-son of Senator Crit tenden, of Kentucky, attached to the ranks of one ot the Companies of the 1st Florida -'Regiment stationed six miles below here, cut bia throat yesterday from ear to ear, while under a state of mental derangement. He was but about twenty-six years' of age, in the very bloom of bis manhood, and possessed fine a-bilities, and a rare order of talent. We can't but regret this sad occurrence, and the untimely demise of a brave and chivalrous sol dier and gentleman.

His body, accompanied by friends, leaves to-night or to-morrow for Tallahassee. E-capbd. Two prisoners, who were con fined in tbe Confederate Court House, above, where the day and night guard have their quarters, made good tbeir escape Saturday night last, by getting upon the roof and slid ing down the columns to tbe ground. The guard, we believe, saw them, but thought tbem some of their own men playing, and did not molest tbem. Up to this time, nothing has been heard of them.

The Recent Arrest of Rebel Agents $170,000 in Gold and Stocks Found in Tbeir Trunks Tu ev ark sent to Fort Lafayette. Tbe Rebel agents whose arrest was noticed in tbe Herald of yesterday prove to be Mr. John Garnett Guthrie of Petersburg. and Mr. George Miles, of Richmond Va.

Tbe former gentleman was taken at tbe Fifth Avenue Hotel, tbe latter at tbe Metropolitan. Tbey had in their trunks over $170,000 in gold, bills, and stocks of tbe States of Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee; also numerous letters addressed to prominent men in the South. The letters were forwarded bv spe cial messenger to Washington. The menev. fcc, is in tbe hands ot tbe authorities.

The prisoners were examined yesterday at the police headquarters, and. by direction of Secretary Seward, were Bent to Fort Lafay ette, it appears that some days age the General Superintendent of Police received information from Washington that these two gentlemen were in the city collecting money tor Jen. uavis, and two oi the detective police were detailed to hunt them up. This thev succeeded iu doing just in time to prevent thsir departure for tbe South. Some of tbe money, it Is said, was collected from mer chants in the city as balances due Southerners tor cotton, tobacco, The prisoners expressed decided dissatisfaction when inform ed mat tne ion would be tbeir future Quar ters, but were compelled to succumb to the fortunes ol war.
