SATURDAY, MAY 81.1862
OBDER NOIBER THREE
v. e have another illustration of theprac
lit ul working of Order No. 3—that stupid
mandate of Gen. Hallsck, which forbids
the entrance of fugitive slaves within his
lines. The enemy has skedaddled—left
Corinth—gone —no one knows where;
they went, nobody knows when! The cam
paign in the West, since the Fort Donel
son victory, has cost the country more
than twenty thousand valuable lives—
every life precious to somebody—
all of them dear to the patriot;
an*" this is the result. The enemy has fled,
and Corinth is ours !” We have no cer
tain information —probably, as the tele
graph from Coiimh is under military cen
sorship, we shall have none until our letters
arrive— touching the condition in which
Gen. Pope found the ground lately occupied
by the enemy; but .we dare assert, even
now, that the old force of wooden guns has
been played over again: and ;bat beyond
these, and a tew woll-gna-v-d beef bones,
half a cord of old boots, ami about, enough
worn out duds to set up a second-haud
clolhcs store, or a rag-carpet manufactory,
we slgill have no trophies. Millions of
money and more than twenty thousand
lives! Are the spoils'of the “bloodless
victory" worth the outlay?
It wiLe found, when the true history is
written, that this evacuation has been
going on, possibly for a fortnight—the
Commander of the Federal army—the il
lustrious’ author of Order No. B—mean
while in blank ignorance of what his foe
was doing. The whistling of locomotives,
and the rumbling of trains, the hearing of
which filled newspaper correspondents and
general officers full of the idea that rein
forcements for the enemy were pouring in
by tens of thousands, were undoubtedly
the evidences that the rank and file
cf the rebel army were hurrying
away to new fortifications, in another
Corinth,.as fast as steam could carry them I
But the General did not know it. The
only men in, near, or about the rebel camp,
who are friendly to our cause—the only
men in all that Southern country who are
willing to fight for us—the only men who
are willing to give information of rebel
doings—in a word.our only reliable friends
—the slaves —have been fought away
from our fines with bayonets! Excluded
from our lines because of Order No. 3,
and the color of their skins! The enemy
has escaped, and the history of warfare
docs not in all the world present another
instance of stupidity which has worked out
snore disastrous results than this same
Order of which we speak.
Wc appeal to all men of common sense:
Bad this order never been issued, had the
word gone out among the loyal blacks of
West Tennessee that they might find food,
raiment and protection in the Federal
camp, in return for their labor and such
information as they might bring—could this
result ever have been arrived at? "Would
not the slaves have flocked to that camp
by thousands? Acquainted with the coun
try in its every nook and corner—with
every hill, dale, ravine, piece of wood and
gwamp, accustomed to travel by night and
as stealthily as cats—they would not only
have made guides of invaluable knowl
edge, but, stimulated by the hope of,
freedom, spies who would haye dared I
anything to gain the precious reward.!
But when one was fortunate enough to 1
escape the rebel line, Ins approach to our 1
camp was arrested by the sharp bayonets
of our outer pickets. No matter what in-'
leHigencehe brought, nor what invaluable |
service he offered, he was sent off. “Go
** away; you are a d d nigger, and this
“is a white man’s war,” is, if not the
language, the exact meaning of the
official bulletin by which he was excluded;
and our soldiers, the dullest of whom every
day saw, felt and talked about the incom
prehenable stupidity of the Order, were
compelled to obey it But the enemy has
Skedaddled and Corinth is ours. There
are, at that point and on roads leading
thence to every city, village and hamlet in
the Northwest, more than twenty thousand
fresh made graves of brave young men—
the pride of the country—the flower of
American yeomanry—which mournfully
tell what this last “ bloodless victory” has
cost. Bow many of these shall be charged
to Order No. 3?
Once more: We may tell now. The ne
cessity for reticence on this point is re
moved. The enemy has taken the pad
lock off our lips. Our army, since
General Halleck took command at
Pittsburg Landing, has built, incredible as
the story may sound, more than fifty miles,
of intrcnchments, and full two hundred
miles of wagon roads! Four parallels each
snore than twelve miles in length; three or
four roads—wide, corduroyed and bridged
—leading from the landing to each corps <F
ormcc —all the work of our m°n, many of
whom never before handled a spade or an
axe in all their fives. No wonder that,
With such labor as they were condemned
to do, they were ack—no wonder the
hospitals were filled, and that
the reports “died of fever,” “died
of dysentery,” “died of pneumonia”
filled every puff of air from that
quarter. Yet all the while there were,
within sound of the report of a siege gun,
thousands and. thousands of the hardiest
laborers in our land, waiting and pray
ing to be permitted to do this
Work for their good alone. Strong
jnen willing to cony a spade, or
jnusket, or wield the axe or pike, to cook,
to dig or fight. Strong men and earnest
men, who wifi, when they have an oppor
tunity, Vindicate the bravery of their race.
We mean the slaves! They must not be
allowed to come In. Fill the hospitals.
Send the death wail to ten thousand loyal
homes. But keep the niggers out of camp,
pie, but do not violate Order No. 3. Is
jiot this a white man’s war ?
We exhort our readers to patience no
more. The memory of the dead who have
filed needlessly, and the imminent danger
that the history of the siege of Corinth will
he repeated elsewhere, at a greater dis
tance from the base of operations, in a
country more unhealthy, and at a season
when the fierce heat of a semi-trop
ical summer wifi be added to
the poison of malaria, demand that they
should make their voices heard over Gen
Ballcck’s head, and in the ears of the Com
mander-In-Chief, the President himself, to
the end that this war may be carried .on
longer as it has been carried onherctofore —
that all the advantages which arc allowed to
civilized combatants shall be used by the
Generals in the field. Let them
•gay to Mr. Lincoln that they de
mand the modification of Order No.
■3 and all other such mandates, or the
prompt dismissal of those who dare issue
them. If we must fight, let the fight be in
tamest —using all legitimate means not
only for crippling and putting down the
enemy, but for saving the precious lives of
Ihose whose greatest happiness will be to
live in the Union that their patriotism and
i falor have preserved.

[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune ]
Cairo, May 89,1852.
The steamers Rowena, Ohio Belle, and War
saw, have just arrived from Pittsburg Laud
ing. From accounts brought by the officers
of the Warsaw, it is probable that the great
battle is already begun.
The intelligence is to twelve noon yester
day(Wedneeday.) For several days past unusnal
care has-been taken tb prevent ingress to the
Pnes, and each boat, on leaving the Landing,
was searched for arms and absconding sol
diers, and other precautions taken, indicating
that the army was on the eve of *a general en
gagement.
Day before yesterday, early in the afterno3u r
firing was commenced on our right and ex
treme left. It was thonght that Gens. Sher
man and Pope were preparing to move their
division still further in advance, and that they
were shelling the enemy’s position to cover
the movement. The firing continued all the
afternoon and during the night, with scarcely
an inten option.
Yesterday morning the bombardment was
resumed and answered by the enemy with
considerable spirit and with some effect.
Onr informant states that he went to the
position of Wood’s Illinois battery, and as
sisted in firing three guns himself While
doing this a shot from the rebel fortifications
killed a private of this company, named
Hofiinan, formerly ot Galena. He here left
for the Landing, and when about three miles
from the advance towards the river, cannon
ading was commenced all along the entire
line, and continued without cessation until
after he reached the Landing. Thereverber
lions oi artillery were heard by those on board
the Warsaw for a considerable distance below
Savannah. It is believed by those who have
access to the sources of information that
to-dav the bombardment was commenced,
and that a general and decisive action will be
fought.
The thermometer at noon to-day indicated
ninety (90) degrees in the shade.
SECOND DISPATCH.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.!
A resident of Northern Mississippi reached
Cairo this momihg, after undergoing a series
of outrages, the hare recital of ■which causes
the blood to thrill and the cheek to mantle
with shame at the necessity which compels us
to recognize the perpetrators thereof as hu
man beings. This gentleman is wealthy, and
until the brerking out of the rebellion he was
respected. His devotion to the National gov
ernment Las driven Mm an exile from the
State of Ms choice, because of Ms Union
friends, now imprisoned and compelled to
lyngnteh in a captivity from wMch he has hap
pily escaped.
I am constrained to forbear a narration of
these indignities. He is thorongMy acquaint
ed -with the whole country, and says that the
enemy's forces at Corinth have been rashly
overestimated. He knows that Beauregard's
army consists of 213 regiments only, averag
ing about 300 to each regiment. That Ms en
tire forces, including cavalry, artillery
and infantry, will not exceed 75,0000
men. These are fed upon half rations, and
scarcely that, of the poorest quality. A
large amount of pork at Corinth
had spoiled upon their hands, and the
stench of the rotten, petrifying. mass,
the only meat they have, was perceptible for
miles around Corinth. The rebel" army is
fearfully decimated by disease and desertion,
and but few recruits are arriving.
Two trains leave Corinth drily, carrying to
the towns on the line of the different railroads
centering there, sick and disabled soldiers for
hospital treatment. The recruits arriving un
der the conscription act did not make good
the number lost by disease, death and deser
tion. The Confederate States armory at Holly
Springs, Miss., was converted into a hospital
and filled to overflowing. He also states that
Jackson’s cavalry, who for several weeks since I
have ravaged the country on the Obion Biver,
were, in obedience to an order of Gen. Beau
regard, transferred to Bolivar to repel an at
tack of the Federal cavalry to bum the itissis
riseippi and Tennessee railroad bridge at that
place. He passed them below Trenton, and
estimates their number at 1,500.
■With this gentleman came a citizen of Mem
phis, who left that odorous city on Monday
last. He confirms the accounts heretofore
received relative to the condition of affairs
there. The military authorities art ruling the
town with a rod of iron, and there is a pros
pect that the citizens will rebel and throw off
the yoke wMch so sorely oppresses them, and
voluntarily return to their allegiance.
Eggs are selling at seventy-live cents a doz
en, butter at one dollar and twenty-five cents
a pound, flour at thirty-five dollars abarreL
A felt hat is worth fifteen dollars, and a straw
ten dollars. He saw a sack of salt sold for
one hundred dollars Confederate currency.
The lower classes were suffering greatly.
About three o’clock this morning six trans
parts laden with troops, passed through Cairo
for the Tennessee, from what locality they
were drawn has not transpired.

It is thought that Beauregard has been
obliged to retreat because of a stoppage of

above the mouth of the Bed River of Texas,
the great source of Beauregard’s supplies was
cut otf, and as our fleet advanced up the Mis
sissippi, the region from which the rebels
could draw food for their great army became
lees, so that the position at Corinth became
gradually but surely untenable.

THE LETTER.
Naw Oblsams, May 15.
Gents: We have now passed a crisis in po
litical affairs in this city. Most of the true
Unionists and patriots have been victims and
suffered in business and property, and still
more in feeling, under the most vindictive
persecution. Our city is destitute of every
thing. It is useless to expect anything like
a safe business or personalaafetylnanypartol
the slave States unless thewhoUcountryishddby
thilitai-y occupancy and military power. One
third of onr population must be expelled
fiom the country and their places supplied by
Northern colonists. It will take years to sub
due the proud despots and overthrow finally
this tyranny which has always ruled absolute
ly wherever slavery exists. I have lived here
forty years; I know almost every one and
something of everything that is going on. I
think there will be a fine opening for com
merce here. New Orleans will inevitably
be a greater centre bt business In future than
heretofore. My property is lying idle; lam
making nothing by my business and am los
ing the revenue of ordinary times.
Our currency is useless for all business pur
poses. We hope Gen. Butler will compel onr
, banks to resume specie payment soon, and
scatter the Conferate trash to the winds.
> I repeat it, there must be a strict military
1 occupancy of this whole country for years.

Washington, May 80.—-Every member ot
the cabinet, and it is believed every friend of
the Government here, deplore the hasty cen
sures visited upon the War Department by
Home of tbe loyal papers in the country. It
has already been stated that Mr. Wilson, in
the Senate, upon the highest authority, said
that the disposition of our forces, which is
censured, was sanctioned by the President,
and it is equally true that it was approved by
the whole Administration. Successes, such
as the country did not anticipate, have already
attended Mr. Stanton’s conduct of the War
Department, and efforts are being made which
would seem to insure a continuance of them.
Occasional failures and reverses must happen,
but Mr. Stanton is not more responsible for
these than he is entitled to tbe public grati
tude for tbe successesof our arms.

Official Report of Com. Tatnall
Following is the report of Commodore Tat-
nail to the rebel Secretary of the Navy
Bichxdsd, May 14,1SSJ.
Sir : In detailing to you the circumstances
which, caused the destruction of the Confeder-
ate States steamer Virginia, and lier move
ments a Tew day previous to that event, I be
gin with yonr telegraphic dispatches to meof
the 4th and sth instant, directing me to take
such a position in the James Elver as Troold
entirely prevent the enemy’s ascending it
Gen, Hager, commanding at Norfolk, on
learning that 1 had received this order, called
on me and declared that its execution would
oblige him to abandon immediately his forts
on Craney Island, at SewaU’s Points, and their
guns to the enemy. 1 informed him that, as
the order was imperative, I must execute it,
hut stated that he should telegraph you and
state the consequences. He did so, and on the
6th instant you telegraphed me to endeavor.
to afford protection to Norfolk os well as well
as the James-River, which replaced me in my
original position. I then arranged with the
general that he should notify me when his
preparations for the evacuation of Norfolk
were sufficiently advanced to enable me to act
independently.
On the 7th inst.. Commodore Hollins ar
rived at Norfolk, with orders to communicate
with me and such officers as I might select in
regard to the disposition to be made of the
Virginia, under the present aspect of things.
We had arranged the conferrence for the
next day, the Bth; but, on that day, before
the hour appointed, the enemy attacked the
Scwall’s Point battery; and I left immedi
ately with the Virginia to defend it.
We found six ot the enemy’s vessels, in
cluding the iron-clad steamers Monitor and
Naugatuck, shelling the battery. We passed
the battery, and stood directly for the enemy,
for the purpose of engaging him, and I
thought an action certain, particularly as -the
Minnesota and Vanderbilt, which were anchor
ed below Fortress Monroe, got under way and
stood up to that point apparently with the
intention of joining their squadrons in the
Roads. Before, however, we got within gun
shot, the enemy ceased firing, and retired
with all speed under the protection of the
guns of the Fortress, followed by the Vir.
ginia, until the shells from the Rip Rap
passed over her.
The Virginia was then placed at her moor
ings near Sewall’s Point, and I returned to
Norfolk to hold the conference referred to.
It was held on the 9th, and the officers pres
ent were Col. Anderson and Capt. , of the
army, selected by Gen. Huger, who -was too
unwell to attend himself; and of the navy,
myself, Commodore Hollins, and Capts. Ster
relt and Lee, Commander Richard L. Jones,
and Lients. Ap. Catesby Jones and J. Pem
broke Jones.
The opinion was unanimous that the Vir
ginia was then employed to the best advan
j tage, and that she should continue, for the
present, to protect Norfolk, and thus afford
time to remove the public property.
On tiie next day ax ten o’clock a. m., we ob
served from the Virginia that the flag was not
flying on the Sewalrs Point Battery, and that
it appeared to have been abandoned. I dis
patched Lieut J. P. Jones, the Flag Lieuten
ant, to Craney Island, where the Confederate
flag was still flying, and ho there learned
that a large force of the enemy had
landed on Bay shore, and were march
ing rapidly on Norfolk; that Sowall’s
Point Battery was abandoned, and our
troops were retreating. I then despatched
the same officer to Norfolk, to comer with
Gen. Huger and Capt Lee. He found the
Navy Yard in flames, and that all its officers
Lad left by railroad. On reaching Norfolk he
found that Gen. Huger and all the other offi
cers of the army had also left —that the ene
my was within half a mile of the city, and
that the Mayor was treating for its surrender.
On returning to the smp he found that
Craney Island and all the other batteries on
the river bad been abandoned.
It was now seven o’clock in the evening,
and this unexpected confirmation rendered
prompt measures necessary for the safety of
the Virgifaia.
The pilots had assured me that they could
take the ship, with a draft of eighteen feet, to
within forty miles of Richmond.
This the the chief pilot, Mr. Parrish, and
his chief assistant, Mr. Wright, had asserted
again and again; and on the afternoon of the
seventh, In my cabin, in the presence of Com
modore Hollins and Capt. Stcrxett, in reply to
I a question of mine, they both emphatically
j declared their ability to do so.
I Confiding in these assurances, and, after
consulting with the First and Flag Lieuten
: ants, and learning that the officers, generally,
thought it the most judicious course, I deter
mined to lighten the ship at once, and run up
the river for the protection of Richmond.
All hands having been called on deck, I
stated to them the condition of things, and
my hope that, by getting up the river before
the enemy could be made aware of our de
signs, we might capture his vessels which
had ascended it, and render efficient aid in
the defense of Richmond; but that to effect
this would, require all their energy in light
ening the ship. They replied with three
cheers, and wentto work at once. Thcpilots
were on deck and heard this address to the
crew.
Being quite unwell, I had retired to bed-
Between 1 and 2 o’clock in the morning, the
first lieutenant reported to me that, after the
crew had worked for five or six hours, and
lifted the ship so as to render her unfit for ac
tion, thcpilots declared their inability to car
ry {eighteen feet above the Jamestown Flats,
up to which point the shore on each side was
occupied by the enemy.
On demanding from the chief pilot, Mr.
Parrish, an explanation of this palpable de
ception, he replied that eighteen feet could
be earned after ‘the prevalence of easterly
winds, and that the wind forthe last two days
had been westerly.
I had no time to lose. The ship was not in
condition for battle, even with an enemy of
equal force, and their force was overwhelm
ing. I therefore determined, with the con
currence of theFirstand Flag-Lieutenants t to
save the crew for future service by landing
them at Craney Island, the only road for re
treat open to us, and to destroy the ship to
prevent her faffing into the hands of the ene
my. I may add that, although not formally
consulted, the course was approved by every
commissioned officer in the ship.
There is no dissenting opinion. The ship
was accordingly put on shore as near the main
land in the vicinity of Craney Island
as possible, and the crew landed. She was
then fired, and after burning fore and aft for
upward of an hour, blew up a little before five
on the morning of the 11th.
We marched for Suffolk, twenty-two miles,
and reached it in the evening, and from thence
came by railroad to this city.
It will be asked what motives the pilots
could have had to deceive me. The only
imaginable one is that they wished to avoid
going into battle.
Had. the ship not have been lifted so as to
render her unfit for action, a desperate con
test must have ensued with a force against us
too great to justify much hope of success,
and as battle is not their occupation, they
adopted this deceitful course to avoid it. I
cannot imagine anothermotive, for I had seen
no reason to distrust their good faith to the
Confederacy. . ,
My acknowledgments are due to the first
lieutenant, A. P. Catesby Jones, for his un
tiring exertions, and for the aid he rendered
me in all things. The details for firing for the
ship and landing the crew were left to him,
and everything was conducted with the most
perfect order.
To the other officers of the ship, generally,
I am also thankful for the great zeal they dia-
Virginia no longer exists, but three
hundred brave and skilfnl officers and seamen
are saved to the Confederacy.
I presume that a court of iquiry will be or
dered to «v«Tn!nfl into all the circumstances
I have narrated, and I earnestly it.
Public opinion wiH never be put right with
out it.
I am, sir, with great respect, your ob’t arv’t,
JOSIAH TiXNAiL,
Flag-Officer commanding.

Arrert of a Maryland Judge and
Prosecuting Attorney for Treason.
Wasihkotok, May SO.
[From the Baltimore American, ofSSth.]
On last Friday evening Deputy Provost Mar
shal James L. McPhail received orders from
Major General Dlx, commanding-this Depart
ment. to proceed to the town of Easton,
Maryland, and arrest Hon, Judge Richard Car
michael, Judge of Talbot county, and Isaac
Powell. Prosecuting Attorney, on a charge of
treason. The •Marahal left the- next morning
with eight officers in a steamer for Easton.
The party reached Easton onSaturday even
ing and engaged accommodations at the
Easton Hotel Early on Sunday morning it
was rumored that the officers had come from
Baltimore for the purpose of- arresting Judge
Carmichael, and a fellow named McNabb was
actively engaged in exciting the people. Some
of these called on the Marshal and stated that
if any attempt was made to arrest the judge it
would be resisted by at least one hundred
armed men. On Monday the excitement was
intense, and threats of violence were repeated.
Still the officers were patient and Quiet, but
determined to make the arrest at all hazards.
Early in the afternoon officer Horner, acting
under instructions, rode to the nearest tele
graph station, a distance of twenty miles,
and telegraphed to Gen. Dix for one hundred
ibnrg,
rnpn.
The General ordered 125 of the Sd Del-,
aware regiment to go, and they were soon
under way per steamer, reaching Wj e Land
ing at noon yesterday. The Marshal met them
‘ aim gave the order to assemble in the town in
one hour, but the officer in command misun
derstood Hm, and remained at the landing an
■ bour. ; In the meantime, the Marshal and his
men went to the court house, where the judge
was presiding upon the bench, and ascending
the place told the judge that he must consider
himself under arrest and a prisoner. The
judge seemed astonished and demanded the
authority for such a proceedinGT, cud was aa
gwMed. br theauthority of the United States
Government. The judge’s reply indicated.
that he did not regard that authority under
the circumstances of the , case. Here a call
tvas made for the sheriff of the county end the
crier of the court, seated near a window, ad
ding to the excitement, but was soon silenced
with'the threat that if he said another word-he
■would be knocked down.
Officer Bishop receiving an order to Sake
the Judge in custody, took hold of him, when
the Judge kicked him. Bishop then drew £ls
revolver and struck him upon the bead several
times-with It Others arrested Mr. Powell,
and two citizens named "William. Nabb auef
Elixir Pascault. • The proceeding was prompt,
decisive, and done in less time than is requir
ed to write an account of it, but the court
room presented a most singular scene, all
present being greatly excited. The members
of the jury who were slitting in the box asked
for directions as to what they should do, but
getting no answer, soon left the bulldog. The
arrests having been made, Judge Carmichael
was attended by a physician of the town, who
dressed-his wounds. The military soon made
their appearance, and the whole party, after a
short delay, marched to the landing, where
the steamer Balloon was in waiting, and start
ed for the city. The boat stopped at Port Mc-
Henry about twelve o’clock last night, and
placed the prisoners In chirge of Col. Win.
W. Morris, commanding the post where they
now remain.

that on the 28th ult orders were given to the
Federal Chief of Ordnance- tp send fifty

Insurance Companies*
Chicago, May 29,1562.
Editors Chicago Tribune:
Ilia evident to all who have examined the re
ports of the superintendent of the State of New
York, and that from the commissioners of the
- State of Massachusetts, that a majority of the In
surance companies doing business in this city—
now anxiously bidding for premiums, accepting
risks at rates that are next to nothing— have con
sumed a very large portion of their paid in capi
tals.
Nevertheless, during the years that their losses
and expenses have greatly exceeded their net earn
ings, they have presented to the public evidence
prima facie, that their business has been, and con
tinues*!© he, profitable. The evidence is: paying
large dividends to stockholders, and returning cer
tificates of scrip qt participation inprQfits to theas
snred; and.hy so doing they have not only invited
the latter to clamor for a reduction of the rates of
premium, hut induced capitalists to create new
competitors, and sustain and enlarge companies
that are worse than profitless.
As a natural consequence of such misrepresent
ations, the companies referred to have rushed at
premiums without regard to tho rates of premium,
or the nature of the risks incurred. Efforts have
been made to reason with them, or their agents,
against the course pursued. They have been told,
that polices will cease to afford security to
tho creditors that hold them that tho
companies that use their capitals or sur
plus funds to pay dividends to stockhold
ers are obtaining business—premiums—
inoiuy under false pretences* and to regain their
positions, to make their policies valuable to the
holder, they must cease to accept risks unless they
obtain adequate remuneration, hut the efforts have
proved fruitless.
There is hut one course open to tho companies
that propose to do the business as it should he
done. It lathis; to take the statements of all
those companies that have donea losing business
and dissect them before the public; and thus ena
ble the people who are holding their policies, to
comprehend what kind of security they have
taken.
Mr. superintendent Barnes, in his animal re
port for 1861, furnishes the following statistics, re
lating to the joint stock fire insurance companies
of Now York, In which he includes the the compa
nies that are doing inland navigation insurance:

keep on hand a large sum of resisted claims.
