“IN YOUR HANDS, MY DISSATISFIED COUN-
TRYMEN, AND NOT IN MINE, rs THE MOMEN-
Tous ISSUE OF CIvIL WAR. THE GOVERN-
MENT WILL NOT ASSAIL YOU ; YOU CAN HAvE
NO CONFLICT WITHOUT BEING YOURSELVES
TIIE AGGREssons ; YOU HAVE NO OATH REGIS-
TERED IN HEAVEN To DESTROY THE Gov-
nnNMENT, WHILEI SHALL HAVE THE MOST
SOLEMN ONE To PRESERVE, PROTECT AND
DEFEND IT.”——Lineoln’s Inaugural.
OUR COUNTRY .
When a powerful and well armed enemy
is thundering at the gates of the Capitol, or
threatening our entire border, or menacing
loyal citizens with destruction, it would seem
as if the instinct of self-preservation, even if
no higher motive should influence, would in-
duce all men to stand by their flag, and bend
all their energies to the preservation of their
' country. The petty bickerings of party
strife or party policy at such a moment should
be forgotten. Personal gain or emolument
should not weigh a hair in the balance. Ev-
ery consideration of a purely selfish nature
should be lost Sight of. The one question
should be “what can I do, what sacrifice can
?” And
to the patriot whose heart is large enough for
love of country to have a place in it, this will
be the one question. Looking back through
the long vista of years—years of danger and
of suffering, of hope and of triumph, since
first that “Star Spangled Banner” was ‘flung
to the breeze, he will catch a new inspiration
from the memories of the past, and these
blood-bought treasures of civil liberty and
constitutional self-government will be to him
so dear that whatever menaces them must in
the very nature of the case incur his hatred,
and whatever seeks to defend them from the
assaults of treason and rebellion, must com-
mand his sympathy and support.
And the converse of this proposition is al-
so true. When the Government is doing its
best tO'crush out rebellion and preserve the
country from a system of Mexican revolu-
tion, he who not only fails to give the gov-
ernment his earnest support,and to strength-
cn it by every means in his power, but suf-
fers no occasion to pass without sneering at
the government, deriding the North, malign-
ing the President and pronouncing a war,
which on our part is for national unity and
existence, an unholy and unconstitutional
war of the President, is a traitor, as deep-
dyed in treason and malignant hatred to his
country’s cause as ever Benedict Arnold was,
and far more inexcusable. And yet, with
shame be it spoken, we have just such men in
this good Old State of Connecticut. They
are men who do not like to look upon the
Flag of our Union, as it floats in every vil-
lage from church-spire and liberty‘pole,from
the dwelling-house and workshop. They are
men who hurrah for Jeff. Davis when their
own friends and neighbors have been shot
down, under their country’s Flag,by his min-
ions; who rejoice in the triumph of the reb4
els and feel sad over a Union Victory. They
are led on by a newspaper that studiously
avoids assailing the rebels, but, pours out its
abuse on the President and his supporters,
with unfiagging zeal. What shall be done
with them ? Shall we try argument? They
heed it not. Shall we try entreaty ‘3 They
will “turn again and rend you ?” Shall we
adopt the system practiced by the dear
friends they so much love at the South, and
hang them ? No,we love law and order,and
in maintaining them we will not appeal to
lawlessness and disorder. What remedy
then is left us? Must we endure for ever the
utterance of treason in our very midst? No,
not forever, it may be necessary for a time.
But this war will not last forever. Ken-
tucky, glorious old Kentucky, faithful ever
to the Union, has given her decisive verdict,
and in her borders Secession is dead. Time
will work the same result in other States
aided by our army. The supremacy of law
will again be re-established. The Union
will again be perfect. And when this work
is done, the long delayed punishment for
traitors will come. The tories of the Revo-
lution shared not in the glories of our first
Union. The tories of to-day shall not share
in the glories of our second Union. The
deeds and utterances of to-day will be re-
membered. And for him who now is a trai-
tor, his children then shall blush; while an
indignant and outraged people shall point
at him ever the finger of ineffable scorn, and
their loathing shall follow him to his grave.
Despised while living, he will be detested
when dead, and his memory shall rot. This
is no overdrawn picture of the future. Trait-
ors in all ages and countries have been the
objects of universal detestation. And of all
traitors the home traitor here at the North is
the most inexcusable. The men of the
South may many times plead that they were
forced into rebellion‘against their will; but
the Northern apologist for their treason is
such, not by compulsion, but from the utter
depravity of his nature, and his entire want
of either patriotism or sense of shame.
Let then the Bridgeport Farmer go on in
its course. The freemen of the North, by
their zeal for their country, the brave volun-
teers who are fighting for their flag, the Un-
ion men Of the South who, amid danger and
death, are still faithful to the Government,
and finally the universal voice of Christen-
dom proclaiming the Southern rebellion most
inexcusable and uncalled for, all unite in re-
buking the craven whose blood is not stirred
by insults to his country’s flag, and who per-
sistently defames those who seek to defend
that flag. With that rebuke we are for the
present'satisfied.

FIRE IN WESTPORT.—The alarm of fire
sounded in Norwalk, on Monday night last,
was caused by the burning of a large barn
in Westport, belonging to the estate of the
late R. H. Winslow. The barn was an ex-
tenSive and costly structure, and was filled
with the newly harvested crops. The loss is
from $12,000 to $15,000. We have no infor-
mation as to how the fire originated. 0m-
Fire Department went as far as the top
of the hill beyo'nd St. Paul’s Church, when
the Chief 1ordered them home.
to assist.

Progress of the-\War.
“’c have nothing definite now-undays in
regard to the army of the Potomac; Gen.
McClellan having put in force stringent reg-
ulations in regard to information being Im-
parted of his movements, reporters am not
allowed in or near the camp, and are not al-
lowed to telegraph from Washington of any
intended army movements. The public,
however, have confidence in McClellan, and
will patiently wait for their news.
Western Virginia is pretty much in the
hands of the Federal forces, Wise having
been driven out of the Kanawha Valley.
From Missouri, we have intelligence of
another Victory by Gen. Lyon. He having,
on the 2d inst., met the rebel forces under
Ben McCullock at a place called Dug Spring
about 19 miles south of Springfield, Mo.,and
after a short skirmish routed them, with a
loss on our side of 8 killed and 30 wounded;
on their side there were 40 killed and 44
wounded. During the battle a brilliant
charge was made by a party of 270 U. S.
Regular Cavalry on a body of 3,000 Rebel
Infantry, completely routing the enemy, the
Cavalry losing but 5 men.
There has also been a Pirate sunk, one
burnt, and several prizes rccaptuned from the
Pirates. One, formerly the old Revenue
Cutter Aiken, came boldly out of Charles-
ton and attacked the U. S. Frigate St. Law-
rence, mistaking her for a merchautmau.—
The St. Lawrence immediately fired a broad-
side which sunk her—She lost 5 men, and
the St.Lawrence picked up 35 and sent them
in irons to Fortress Monroe. The Gun-boat
Union also chased one ashore and burned it,
the crew however escaping. After burning
it, the Union stood out and retook a vessel
which the Pirates had been seen to capture,
and took the Piratical prize-crew, 4 in mun-
bcr, on board, where they were ironed, and
will have to answer to our courts for being
thus caught in the act of piracy.

Reception of our Volunteers.
At a meeting of our citizens, holden on
Thursday afternoon last. it was decided to
tender a public reception to the Norwalk
Company of Volunteers, Capt. Douglas Fow-
ler, now in the Third Regiment of Connec-
ticut Volunteers, on the occasion of their re-
turn from the war. The Regiment reached
Hartford on Friday last, where it is to be
paid off, and mustered out of the service.—
All accounts speak well of the gallantry of
this noble Regiment in the late battle of
Bull's Run ; they evidently (lid their duty
without any shrinking or holding back, and
our gallant Company should receive a warm
reception on their arrival home; we trust
that there wrll be a general turn-out of our
citizens to welcome them home, and let the
Flags flaunt gaily in the breeze, from every
Flag-staff along the route of the procession.
The Union Greys, Capt. Beatty, and the en-
tire Fire Department are to turn out to re-
ceive and escort the Company through our
village. The procession is to be under the
charge of Col. P. L. Cunningham, as Mar-
shal.
Capt. Fowler's Company will be received
by the Committee of Arrangements on the
arrival of the 3 P. M. train to-day (Tuesday).
The Procession will form in the following

The Patriotic Concert
Tobe given at South Norwalk, under the
auspices of the Ladies of the Patriotic Soci-
ety, promises to be a “Big Thing.” They
have engaged‘thc Tent of the Agricultural
Society, which is to be erected opposite the
School House, in which to hold the Concert,
and secured the services of the Wheeler and
Wilson Brass Band for the occasion. The
South Norwalk Glee Club will take part in
the exercises, assisted by Prof. Curtis and
Mr. Thomas of New York. Choice Refresh-
ments will be furnished in abundance, and a
good time all around may be expected.—
Considcring the noblc‘objcct of this Concert,
it would seem as if the large Tent ought to
be altogether too small for the audience, and
we trust it will be. This is not intended as
an enjoyment for Norwalk people alone, but
delegations from any of the neighboring
towns. Do not allow any othcrengugcmcnt
to prevent your attendance on this occasion.

RETURN OF THE THIRD REG-I-
MBNT.
The Hartford Press says that the Third
Regiment of Connecticut volunteers, Col.
Chatficld, from Washington, Wednesday
morning,‘arrived at Hartford on the steamer
“Elm City," at 1 o’clock Friday afternoon—~-
Owing to the uncertainty of their arrival, no
general preparations for a reception had been
made. But thousands of people swarmed
on the docks, and clustered on the shipping,
as the shoots of the crowd and the discharge
of cannon announced that the boat was in
sight.
The Elm City came slowly up, with her
heavy burden, the band playing, the regi-
mental colors flying, the staff officers cluster--
ed on the upper deck, and the rough and
hardy soldiers covering all the upper part of
the boat like a swarm of bees. Thc bout
landed at the foot of State street, and the do-
barkafion was quietly accomplished.
The battalion formed on the dock, and at
1 12 o‘clock marched up State street, and
were received by the Manchester Guards,
Capt. Cheney, and the whole fire department
in uniform, headed by the Armory Baud
playing Sweet Home. Col. Chatfield and
staff were mounted, and looked well and
hearty. “’0 also noticed Lieut. Col. Brady
in full uniform, riding With the staff.
Gov. Buckingham and Gen. Tyler (just ar-
rived in town) were among those who we]-
comed the regiment at the steamboat dock.
After the marching salute, the Regiment
and its escort marched through State and
Main sts.,(in the mud,) greeted with hurrahs,
waving haudkcrchicfs, and crowds of people.
The soldiers looked “rough and tough”—
bronzed and boarded. They were all sorts of
head gear—Zouave caps, artillery hats, straw
hats, felt “scccsh” hats, &c.—obtained by
swapping with comrades or seized as tro-
phies. Many of them had pct dogs; one had
a cat; we saw one or two coutrabands; some
had sabrcs, guns, and other relics of Bull
Run.
The regimental commissary profited by
the hungry experience of the First and Sec-
ond, and provided abundant rations, so that
the soldiers were well fed on their way home.
There has been no complaint whatever on
that score—the boys come home “covered
with glory”—-and we are glad to see them.
Chaplain Willey informs us that the ac-
count of the bravery of the Third, which we
publish from the N. Y. World today is sub-
stantially true, as he witnessed himself, with-
out cxaggeration or bombast. He (the Chap-
lain) liopcs the rebels will profit‘ by the ser-
mons they stole from him.
In front of the State House, on Main street,
the line halted while Gov.Buckingham brief-
ly welcomed the regiment home, and thank-
ed them heartily for the brave manner in
which they had discharged their duty. The
straight, gray-haired officer, not in uniform,
who stood by the side of Gov. B. during the
address, was Gen. Tyler.
After the “reception” was over, the Regix
ment was quartered at the barracks at the
Arsenal. They will be paid off by Paymas-
ters Judd and Irish, and mustered out of
service by Col. Loomis, as soon as possible.
And then, many of the boys are going back .
again.

W The call for another Connecticut Reg
iment, to be made up perhaps from the lst,
2d and 3d, and to serve for three years—will
soon be issued.
Persons who enlist in companies formed in
other States, are, of course, aware that they
lose the bounty paid by our State and that
their families (in case they have any) lose the
provision made by our law for the families
of volunteers.

WBy an intercepted letter from a hu-

ken before Major Gregory, and threatened
with shooting if he did not disclose the state
of defense of the fort, to which the hero rc-
plied that he could shoot il be choose; one
death was all that a soldier could (be. He
was then gagged and otherwise brutually

SOMETHING LEARNER—It is mum-ted that
Maj. Gen. McClellan, in speaking ofthe bat-
tle of Bull Run, and deploriug it, added,
‘but it was a splendid rcconnoisance for me.’
This shows the right spirit in the new com-
" Inauder. The battle seemed a bad affair at
the time, and the loss of life is still to be de-
plored, but it has taught us things of' lllt‘Sll-
mable value, it showcd'the strength and
the weakness of both threes. and when we
strike the balanceitis one ofcucouragcmmrt
wholly. Even if' McDowell fivcgo to fight
the battle over again within a month, he
would win the victory. And yet the guns-
tigc of McClellan is worth a large addit (nini
number of men, and a great protrcrcncy of
drill, even if his strategic abilities were no
greater. His remark in an indication that
he knows his advantages and means to make
the most of them.

the indignant protest,thus refers to the grave
subject:
The most unkindcst cut of all the South-
crn Rebels have yet received, appears in an-
other column of this morning’s paper. It is
known to most people that there is kept for
public reference, in the Police Department, a
collection of photographs of distinguished
thieves, the whole being known as the
“Rogues’ Gallcry.” Among these pictures
Wore placed last Winter the likenesses of Da-
vis, Cobb, Toucoy, Floyd, and half a dozen
others who had exercised their propensity
for accumulation by stealing th . Govern-
ment property. The “rogues” am lg whose
miniatures these photographs were placed,
bore the infliction of their presence for some
time in silence. Their compccrs observed
their growing melancholy, but knew not the
reason. At last, even depravity could kecp
them callous no longer. A score and a half
of the most noted thieves of the metropolis
signed a serious and almost touching reuion-
strance, addressed to the Board of Metropol-
itan Police, protesting against the indignity.
They say it is hard enough to endure the
scorn of the world and the restraints of
bolts and bars, but of this they would not
complain; when, however, they are put in-
to the company of such men as those whose
names they repeat, they feel that, though
thicvcs,’thCy are still Incn, and they cry out
for mercy.
INDIGNANT TIIIEVES.—-Tllc following is a
correct copy of a petition presented to the
Board of Policc'Commissionersa day or two
since. The names attached thereto are gen-
uine, and the owners of them are no mythi-
cal personages, but are known in the flesh to
the Detective Police. Though fallen in the
social scale, they still have some pride loft,
and jealously guard their “ characters.”
To the Board of Jifetropolitan Police:
The undersigned, members of' the several
“ancient guilds,” and organizations “knocks”
“Autumn divers,” “pads,” “buzz-ards,” “con-
fidence men,” &c.,having had the misfortune
to be “nabbed” by the “coppers” in yourem-
ploy, and been compelled to undergo the Ini-
miliation of being daguerrcotyped by bad
artists, to the end that our likenesses might
constitute a fine art collection, known as the
“Rogues’ Gallery,” do respectfully set forth:
That we have endured these inflictions, su-
per-added in many instances, by the dcpri ':1-
tion of liberty, without murmuring. We
learn, howovcr, with sur ise and mortifica~
tion, that we have been compelled to under-
go a new and unheard of indignity—~insult
added to injury—as though‘the purpose was
to class us with the vilcst robbers and out-
laws. The liberty has been taken, unwar-
rantably, unlawfully, anckin violation of the
statute for the protection of private charac-
ter, to place in the aforesaid collection or
“Gallery,” the likenesses of a gang of ban-
ditti,0f a class infinitely lower and more base
than any in which your memorialists have
ever, by choice or misfortune, associated.—
The portraits of JEFFERSON DAVIS, HOWELL
Conn, ISAAC TOUCEY, GEN. BEAUREGARD,
R. H. LEE, J OIIN B. FLOYD, HENRY
WISE, LAWRENCE M. EITT, J UDAII P.
BENJAMIN, DAvID L. LEE, and others of
the same “school,” have been arranged with
ours, as though we were deep-dyed as they.
\Vhilc protesting against this wholesale dcf—
amation of character, we remonstrate that
we have at he most only sought to live by
our wits, while this school of banditti, the
villains aforesaid, have conspired to ruin a
mighty people, and to steal the wealth of an
entire Republic—to beggar and enslave a
continent. No thief at the coffin‘s side, no
operator in the panel crib, no midnight bur-
glar cve‘l‘ conceived a plot so base. Trusting
your honorable Board will perceive this in-
justice, we respectfully petition that the por-
traits of the traitors, robbers and sneak-
thievcs aforesaid, now in arms against the
Government which has provided them with
bread, may be removed from the “Rogues’
Gallery.” And your petitioners will ever
pray.

A CONNECTICUT CAPTAlN.—-We take great
pleasure in publishing the following from the
\Vashingtou correspondence of the N. Y.
Tribune. The corrcSpondcnt on Monday
stated that there was one captain who,
through all the confusion and root of the
battle-field, led his company with as much
coolness and precision as though on dress pu-
radc.
The editor of the Tribune inquired the
name, when the correspondent replied:
.“Thc Captain who did his duty in the midst
of the rout of Bull Run, for whose name you
Inquire, was Joseph R. Hawlcy, Captain of
Rifle Company A, lst Connecticut Regiment,
and Editor of the Hartford Press. This wor-
thy Journalist soldier, who was ncvcr seen
about the Washington hotels, camped with
his company, and, when one was sick, took
his gun and mounted guart .” , -
And that same Joseph R. Ilawley sub-
scribes the following paragraph, in his own
paper:
The man that calls me traitor has “cow-
ard“ written on his brow. . I have not seen
that man’s face and be dare not show it.
Eaton’e Speech at Bloomfield.
William W. Eaton ! did you impose upon
any simple-minded boy in Bloomfield by
such braggadocio? You know that you
are not a traitor in the legal sense of the
term, for you omit the overt act. Were you
thinkingot a chance at a libel suit, if any-
body called you traitor? Does not your
sensitiveness arise from the consciousness
that morally you deserve the name? Don’t
you know that you are doing ten times more
according to your feeble influencc,to destroy
your country and degrade your flag than if
you took up arms? If you will shoulder a
musket and go down into Virginia, I will
call you traitor in your face at the further
end of Long Bridge. J. R. HAWLEY.

WGCII. Tyler, in his official report of the
battle of Bull Run, says of Col. Keyes’ brig-
ade, (the three Connecticut and the 2d Maine
regiments,) “At no time (hiring the conflict
was their brigade disorganized, and it was
the last off the field and in good order.”

that Gen. Patterson would prevent the union
of Johnston with Breauregard. The official
list of casualties gives a total of 19 Officers
and 462 men killed, 64 officers and 947 men
wounded, and 40 officers and 1,176 men mis-

Death of Bx-Governor Trumbull,
The Hou.JoseplI Trumbull, grandson of Gov
Trumbull of the Revolution,(licd in Hartford,
Conn, the 3d first. He was born at Lebanon
December 7, 1782; in 1801 graduated at Yale
College, and was admitted to the bar in the
state of Ohio in 1802. In 1804 he settled in
Hartford. In 1828 he was elected president
of the Hartford Bank, and then withdrew
entirely from the practice of the law. This
presidency he resigned in 1839. In politics
Governor Trumbull was a Whig, and after-
ward a Republican. He was elected to the
General Assembly in 1832, 1848 and 1851.—
In 1834—‘35 he was elected to Congress, and
afterward served two terms, 1839 to 1843.—
In 1889 he was elected governor of Connecti-
cut for one year—the third Governor Trum-
bull of the state. He received the title of
Doctor Of Laws in 1849 Yale College. The
Hartford and Providence Railroad Com-
pany elected him its first president. He was
twice married. A daughter of Gen. Henry
Champion was his first wife; the second, a
sister of the late Chief Justice Storrs, survivcs
him.
These are the leading facts in a long lifedevo-
ted to the public good. Governor Trumbull
added new honors to a name famous in
American annals. His intelligence, parriot-
ism and pure character is already matter of
history. and other states than Connecticut
will long look with pride upon the record.

REBEL ACCOUNTS FROM BULL RUN—The
rebel soldiers at Fairfax Court House say
they had over 100,000 men at Manassas and
Bull Run on the 21st ult , and they estimate
thekillcd on their side at 2700, besides the
wounded. They admit that they lost twice
what we did. The Memphis Appeal states
that the confederate loss was 500 killed and
2000 wounded and missing. An officer of
the Palmetto Guard writes to the Charleston
.llcrcury: “The day was lost when our two
regiments came up. Our troops were falling
back and retired some distance. All along
our line of march men were retreating and
saying we were dcfeatcr .” The regular cor-
respondent of the Mercury confirms this
statement in the followiuglanguagc: "Kam-
per‘s battery, followed by the 7th, Col. Casi),
hurried to the scene of'action. It was met
along the way by numbers ofthe wounded,
dying and retiring, who declared the day had

4th, was cut to pieccs; that Hampton's Le-
gion, coming to the rescue, and the Louisiana
battalion were annihilated; that Gen. Bee
and Col. Hampton were mortally wounded,
and Col. Ben Johnson killed; and that the
confederate forces were outflunked and rout-
cd, and the day lost. This was the unvary-

From Fortress Monroe.
FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 8.
Hampton has been burnt by scouts. A fu-
gitive yesterday morning brought word of
the approach of a large rebel force from 1 «uk-
towu. Thcsc rumors were confirmed at 5 in
the afternoon by an intelligent (lcsertcr from
the rebels, by the name of E. A. Mathew, a
native of Maine, but a resident in Georgia
until impressed into the service. He haslur-
rushed an account of the expedition.
_Mayhcw has been stationed at Yorktown
Since J une lst. On Friday last Col. Magru
der left Yorktown with 7000 men including
200 rebel cavalry and eight pieces of artillery
vrz: three Parrott guns, four howitzcrs and
one rifled cannon.
On Monday night they encamped at Great
Bethel which had been completelv deserted.
On Tuesday, night they advanced towards
Hampton. At noon yesterday they took up
a position on Back River. some three miles
from town where Mayhew managed to es-
cape through the cornfields a: swimminv‘ a
couple of streams reached the Fortress. 5
He says the Object of the expedition was
to draw out our forces to attack Camp Ham-
ilton on Newport News if practicable, and at
least to destroy Hampton so as to prevent
our using it for winter quarters.
Gen. Butler at once repaired to this end of
Hampton bridge, where he remained till
eleven.
Col. Webb erected barricades near the
Hampton end of the bridge, and laid a strong
guard at various points on this side the bridge
A few minutes past midnight, Col. Magrudcr
with about 500 rebels, some belonging to
Hampton, entered the town andimmediately
fired the buildings. The greater past of the
_500 buldings were of wood and being very
(try, the strong south wind soon produced a
terrible conflagration.
There were perhaps 20 white people and
40 negroes in town, from inability to move,
some of whom were in the houses when they
were fired, and the rebels dld not awake
them. They gave Cary Jones and wife, both
of whom are aged and infirm,fiftcen minutes
to remove the fcw articles of furniture to the
garden. Several of the whites and negroes
were hurried away to be impressed into the
rebel service. Two negroes were drowned
while attempting to cross the creek.
A company of rebels attempted to force the
passage of the bridge, but were repulsed with
the loss of three killed and six wounded.—
The fire raged all night. The greater part of
.the rebels withdrew about morning; and at
noon to day but seven or eight buildings are
Standing.
The destruction of the town was an act of
wanton cruelty to the resident Unionists,and
moreover was entirely useless, as General
Butler intends to winter the army many
miles beyond Hampton. An attempt will be
made to fasten the act on Gen. Butler, but
after ten o’clock on Wednesday night there
was not a federal soldier in Hampton.

COL. CORCORAN Flinn—The Richmond
Dispatch remarks: “We hear of but one ac-
C0111“, with few exceptions. from all the pris-
oners taken by our men everywhere, and
that is that they came here without any in-
tention of fighting the South, but were com-
pelled to unite in the invading movement,
and that if they were home they would nev-
er be caught in such a scrape again. The
last assertion may be true, but‘ not a word of
the rest. The circumstances under which
they left the North are known to the South,
as well as to themselves, and their very name
and organization, eolunteera, contradicts ev-
ery word they utter. We confess we have
more respect for the most impudent among
them—Col. Corcoran, forexample—who, we
understand, says. ‘I went into the business
with my whole soul, and I wouldn’t take my
parole if they’d give it to me.’ ”

WAccording to the account of arcbel
prisoner in Fortress Monroe,the retreat from
Big Bethel was mutual. He says the rebels
abandoned their batteries and retreated just
as our men left, and that they afterwards re-
turned with a force of 4,000,and began work
on the intrenchments, but were alarmed by
a report that the Yankees were coming in
force, and retreated suddenly a (listance of
six miles, the Savannah regiment burning
their tents and throwing away all their
heavy baggage.

for three, and the Allairc Iron Works for twr).
Of‘those being built by the Novelty Works,
4 are to be constructed after the pattern and
mold of the gunboats recently built at the
same works for the Rusian Government.—
The other three are to be of the same dimen-
sions as the gunboats now building at other-
works. They will be 155 feet long, 26 feet
breadth of beam, and 12 feet depth of hold.—
The engines will be double-acting, and will
have 30 inch cylinders, with a stroke of 18
feet. The first will be launched and ready
for her machinery in about four weeks. The
machinery and boilers will be ready to put in
as soon as the boats are launched. The time
appointed for the first to be ready is about
the middle of October, and each of the others
in succession, fifteen days after until the
whole are finished. The bulls of the three

about 19 miles southwest of here. The fight
took place between 4 and 6 o’clock that after-
noon. A party of 270 of Lyon’s cavalry
were crossmg a ridge of high land, partially
enclosed by a valley, and when descending
the bill, they came upon a band of the ene-
my’s Infantry, variously estimated. at from
two to four thousand, and, being unable to .'.
retreat, charged and cut their way through
with the loss of only five men. The Lieu:
tenant commanding the cavalry was killed
after killing eight of the rebels himself. ’
Meantime the enemy appeared in large
numbers, moving along the valley, but they
were put to flight by our artillery. Our in-
fantry was not engaged. The rebels retreat-
ed southward to a place called McCulloch’s
store, on the Fayetteville road.
_ The number of rebels found dead on the
field were forty, and some forty-four were
picked up wounded.
Gen. Lyon is said to be strongly entrench-
ed In close proximity to the enemy, and an-
other battle is expected. It is said there are
some five thousand men thirty miles west of
us, who are coming in to attack us during
Gen. Lyon’s absence.
_We have here two companies Of the 3d
Missouri Regiment, about seven or eight
hundred Home Guards from the surrounding
counties, and two pieces of artillery.
Two cOmpanies of Home Guards have
gone out to reconnoitre for the enemy from
the west. We are waiting for them with
the determination that they shall not take
the town without a bloody struggle.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 7.—General
Butler returned to Old Point this morning.
It is understood the army here will be
greatly increased.
The Quaker City picked up, this morning,
near the Capes, a small boat containing ten
shipmasters and seamen who had escaped
from Fort Oregon, North Carolina.
They give some startling intelligence of
domgs on the North Carolina coast. At
Hatteras Inlet are three pirate steamers and
a pilot boat. One of the steamers, the "Gar.-
don” ran the blockade at Charleston, and of
the whole ofthe coast to Hatteras Inlet, ten
days ago, since which time she has captured
the brig Wm. Hill. of Bangor, ble., from
Cardenas, with molasses, and the schooner

captured the schooner Mary, which had bee,
taken by the privatecr schooner Dixie, and
her crew are now on board the Wabash.—
They also took the brig Sarah Starr, from
Wilmington, for Liverpool, with turpentine,
sailing under English colors. -
The privatecrs are the “Gordon,” the “Cof-
fee,” a side-wheel steamer formerly running
between Old Point and Norfolk ; the steamer
Norfolk and the Munson, fin‘merly a Norfolk
pilot boat. All are armed with rifle cannon.
Those vessels from Norfolk were taken down
the canal to Albcrmarle Sound. Newborn,
N. C., is the headquarters of these pirates.—
Ten guuboats are being collected and mount-
ed at Norfolk—to be taken down the canal
the crows for then} being shipped at New
hem. '
The bark Glen, of Portland, with govern:
mcnt coal, was captured a week ago, and
taken to Beaufort, N. C. Refugees slate that
the rebels scarcely regard the coast blockade
at all, and consider the Quaker City as the
only boat doing efficient service against
them. During all this time several gun~
[Floats have been quietly anchored at Old
oint.
