THE SITUATION.
The late raid of Wnsonand ‘Kantr agolncf
the Richmond and Danville and Petersburg
and Lvncbburg Railroads was, notwithstand
ing onr heavy losses, the most destructive
raid against the enemy’s communications yet
made during the war. . ThcDanypie Road oe.
Cupies the same position in reference tbßlch
jnond, and the Lynchburg Road stands in the
game relation to Petersburg, as docs the Phil
adelphia, Baltimore Rail
road to our national capital. As Gen. Grant
tightens his coils around the .rebel capital
Xce will spit lire like a'wasplha spider’s
web. His raid np to Harper’s Ferry is a spite
ful attempt to imitate the threatening char
acter of Grant’s operations against Richmond*
Meanwhile another of Grant’s strategic move
ments is on the eve of execution, Lee, who
01 old, was so fond of taking the initiative,
sow warily watches the movements ofhis an
tagonist, and confines bimselLto.efforts pure
ly defensive. What Grant’s next movement
will be is matter of speculation. That he will
storm Petersburg is none the more probable,
because he makes an ostentations show of in
tention to do so, by twice summoning it to
surrender. To strike out somewhat in the
tine pursued by Wilson’s raid, turning the
right of the rebel army and of Petersburg
and planting hlmsell on the line of the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad, in the immedi
ate rear of Richmond, would be not unlike
Grant, as it, would compel Lee to fight a
pitched battle, or fall back to Richmond. A
push from Bermuda Hundreds to separate the
rebels at Petersburg from those at Richmond
would have seemed more probable before the
rebels had so fully fortified against it. That
the expected movement will be intended to
place Grant’s army more immediately and
embarrassingly across the line of Lee’s com
munications, however, may safely be pre
sumed. If in so doing he could get bet ween
the rebel forces at. Petersburg and those at
Richmond the advantage would be increased
by dividing the enemy.' If these results could
be attained witbont giving Lee a chance to
sever his communications, the safety of the
movement would be still increased, but as
Lee cannot be occupied in severing Grant
from his base without suffering Grant to sev
er him from his own, the risk is equal, and
being equal is, as to Grant, practically noth
ing, since Lee will do nothing on equal risks.
Wa are making no mistakes. Grant believes
he is winning.' Xvery day accomplishes
something. We can afford to wait In hope,
and do what we can with courage.
THIS LATE CONGRESS.
Ills not to be doubted that the country at
large has experienced a sense of relief, as
the words “ Congress has adjourned,” were
sent over the telegraph oh Tuesday. For
good reasons, it was a body of men in whom
as a whole, the country lacked confidence.
It was in this respect below, rather than
above the average of Congresses. And yet
the country will be agreeably disappointed,
that, after all, it transacted so much of bene
ficicnt business toward the end of its days;
for it cannot be denied that it rather improv
ed as it grew older; and could it have lived
on for Iralf a century farther, there are rea
sons to believe, it might have been able to
commend itself fnQy to the public regard,
Notwltbstandingthesegroands of hope, its
demise will be taken .with great resignation;
and the only regret will be, that its end is
not final, and that it must still further dis
tress Itself and the public with its assem
blage.
And yet, we have no disposition to under-
Talne this body of public servitors. It has
good men in it, and a number of them. Bat
as a school is weighed down by its poor
scholars, though it may have many good
ones, bo a Legislature is deteriorated, from
the head down, by a very lew positively
mean qien.' And if a few dead files cause the
ointment of the apothecary-to send forth a
stinking savor, what can be said for the odor
of it when frequent lamps of larger carrion
are all the way intermingled? Truth is, a
body of saints purified would be soiled and
put in bad odor by'contact with such polecats
as the Woods, Allens, Cox, and the Voothees.
An ocean ol cologne would emell bad with
one Alex. Long soaking in it -This Congress
tiad a complaint, of which boys flying kites
sometimes complain. It had too much tail.
Its caudal ratio ran far np, to include a huge
portion of its body. And as for its good
men, it was .their misfortune, and a great
pity, too, that they were in the con
dition of that dog we read of in
school primer history, who was caught In
can company. And yet, sorry as th* figure
this Congress, in parts of it, is made to cut,
the country most acknowledge that It has
done Dor better than at one time was expect
ed. We bare not forgotten the six or nine
monthsjircvioas to its assembling. How the
Satanic press cut and carved for It, in their
imaginings. It was to be a Copperhead con
cern outright,with Phernandiwnd for Speak
er, and with some other each as crawl on
their bellies and are speckled on their backs,
lor its other actuaries, and was to give over
the conntiy.to the Prince of the Power of the
Air, abont as quick as the tbiogconld be
done. Xhe country felt pretty cheap in
those days, and conld only look. .to the Sen
ate, the President, and to God. But
when it came together' and. elected
the glorious Colfax as Speaker, and
the Copperheads, instead of bellow
ing as bulls, only bleated as dives, we for
got its vilcness and felt as If we had got a
pretty goed Congress, after aIL
Bat it is said that M a silk parse is not to be
made of a sow’s ear;” and yon cannot by any
possibility make a decent body of Coxes and
Woods. All yon can do is to wait as patient
ly as yon can, till the attritions of time wear
them off and then pnt better stuff, in their
places. If the country suffers itself again to
elect such a crew as have plagued the nation
at Washington oflate, whether under dis
couragement or false pretences, it will de
serve to sweat for ten years to come.
Think of the anti-slavery State of Ohio, pa
triotic and loyal as she is, putting into the
Rational Legislature such a crew as she has
there no «r. She may be cheated in that way
once, but to do it a second time, is to show
her gone daft beyond redemption.
One thing more is dueto truth. A num
ber of the fair men of this Congress lack—or
seem to lack—one (dement of character,
never without its use, bnt essential now;
and that is courage. Had the legislation of
the last two weeks been put through in the
first month ol the session, as it might have
been, gold would not now be flying abont
above two hundred. But their bones were
too soft, and had to be hardened by the ad
versities of the times; and in the mean time
the country enficred. Well, peace to its
ashes—as soon as It is ashes.
REBEL TERRS OP PEACE.
About eighteen months ago, Henry J. May,
member of Congress from Baltimore, pro
claimed unceasingly oo the floor of the Honse
that the rebels were willing to return to the
Union on certain conditions. He was so fall
of this belief, that he was allowed to visit
Richmond and have an interview with the
rebel for the purpose of ascertaining
the terms on which they were willing to lay
down their arms and come hock. He saw
Davis and , his Cabinet and . Congress,
and all v th6 • great* leaders of secession,
and laid before them his mission. They
told him the thing was impossible; that
they would not return to the old Union while
a rebel was' left to fire a gun; that no terms
could be offered which they would look at.
4t lf yourGpvemmentshonld authorize you/'
said they, “to write your name at the hot
“ tom of a Mank sheet of paper, leaving us
“to fill it with conditions ..And stipula
tions to sifit ourselves, we would not aq
“ceptJJ.** 7..
The Hon. Henry J. May returned to Wash
ington considerably crestfallen. From that
day to this no man has heard him say that
the rebels would voluntarily return to the
- XJnlon if certain concessions were made to
them. We believe that since then be advo
cates a disunion peace, and letting the Union
slide, holding that the rebels cannot he con
quered. This is the position taken by Fer
nando Wood. It was about the time
of May's pilgrimage to Bichtnond and
the publication of the stoiy in the
accesh Timo, of the ornamental jap
panner, J. Westley Green, that Fernando
was full of the same Idea of saving the Union
by “ giving the South her rights." The Presi
dent permitted him to find out on what terms
his "Southern brethren”’were willing to
comeback. He made the inquiry, ascertained
ttie facta, and in a private interview with
Mr. Lincoln gave him the result ' The pre
cise statement he made to the President has
never been made pnbHc. Bet Fernando,: at'
nil cvenfa, became convinced that he vnu
4 »P tte Wong tree; because
thatday to thin. Tin has never asserted that
the rebels would lay down their arms on con.
ditlon that the anti-slavery policy of the Ad
ministration be revoked. Wood, like many
Cops., believes that the rebellion can not be
put down, and, therefore, he advocates the
cessation of hostilities and the recognition
of the Confederacy. He thinks that it is
better to make a disunion peace then to con
tinue a struggle which he regards as hopeless.
The difference between Wood and most' oth
er Copperheads consists In this, that whereas
he has the courage and honesty to avow what
lie expects and desires—a disunion peace—
they are in favor of the same thing, bnt are
£OO cowardly and dishonest to openly sup.
port their opinions, lest Democrats differing
with them might leave the “party.” But
Cveiy day they crawl a little nearer to Wood’s
platform; they will practice dissimilation
only until they think the party Is sufficiently
rips and rotten to take the plunge.
TRIUMPHS OF FACTION.
The New York World Is in ecstacles over
the repeal of the gold bin and the resigna
tion of Chase. The gold hill was repealed
under Copperhead pressure In order to re
duce the price of gold, and under the pre
tense that it would do so. The end having
been obtained, the World now says that its
repeal most not be.czpectcd to. reduce the
price of gold, because' the Injury it inflicted
upon the value; ‘of greenbacks Was irrrpar
alAe.
** Hence, while the repeal of the gold bin win do
some good. the public most not expect a tot
marked depredation in the price of sold on ac
count of It.”
The World regards itself as among “those
who; have been constrained, from a sense of
public duty, to expose the errors and predict
the end of Mr. Chase.” He” error of Mr,
Chase, if such it he, consisted in having pro
. vided the Government for 'three' years with
all the money required to cany on the most
gigantic war of the century, at a time when
the ‘Congress of that Government, whose
business it was to tax, dared only raise one
thirteenth part ol the required amount for
fear its members would fail of re-election.
This is a financial feat which has never be
fore been equalled. If it has brought him to
the end of his course, it is not the first time
that martyrs have been crucified because s
people were unworthy of them.
II the World could succeed in its insidious,
snake-in-the-grass species of opposition to
the war, under pretense merely of opposi
tion to the Administration which alone can
conduct the war, it would doubtless indulge
in a similar kind of boasting. When they
had accomplished the dissolution. of the
Union, of our debt, the de
struction of the nationality and name of the
United States, and the involving ot the
Northern States in endless anarchy and civil
war among themselves, the whole Copper
head, press would then boost of their tri
umph over the Government, and that “they
hod been among those who have been con.
strained, from a sense of public duty, to ex-,
pose the errors and predict the end” of the
Administration of Mr. Lincoln and of the
Union it endeavored to support
BILL FOB THE BELIEF OF COP-,
PfiBHEADS,
The bin appropriating $700,000 to reimburse
Pennsylvania for expcL-see incident to Lee's Invs
sirs, was killed In the Senate by the addition of
amendments for thebenefltof other States, amotmt-
Inp millions of dollars.
The above, in onr Washington correspond
ence, Is not entirely dear, but we take it to
mean that the fanners of Pennsylvania would
like to have the Federal Government, pay•
them for their hogs and horses stolen by the
rebels. Bncb a claim would be ** of a piece”
with the stolid and stupid Incapacity to
comprehend what patriotism requires of the
citizen, or what the citizen owes to his Gov
ernment, which distinguishes come people
in Pennsylvania as well as elsewhere. Im
agine the able-bodied men, whom even the
rebel Generals rebnked for not being in the
Federal army \n defense of their country,
and who remained at home while the Federal
army and the militia of other States rushed
to their*defense and expelled their invaders
now asking reimbursement because the
rebel cavalry robbed . them of their chickens
or the Federal shot and shell demolished
their weather-boards. Instead of reimburs
ing the Pennsylvanians, whose fighting is
now being done by surplus volunteers from
Illinois, Indiana, and other States, an en
forcement of the draft to fill up her quota of
past calls for men would be in order.
Doings of the Lute Congress.
Congress was in session just seven months
The following are believed to be the princi
pal measures of the session which became
laws; L Repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law;
2. Revision of the Internal Revenue Law;
3. Revision of the Enrollment Law, and
abolishment of commutation; 4. The Four
Hundred Million Loan Bill; 5. BUI to Estab
lish a Bureau of Freedmen’s Affairs; 6. Bill
to.Enconrage Emigration; 7. BUI Tempo
rarily Increasing the Tariff Duties Fifty per
cent; 8. Revision of the Tariff; 9. Revision
■of the Law authorizing the establishment vi
Rational- Banks; 10. Re-establishment
of the grade of Lieutenant General;
1L Imposition 'of a Special War In
come Tax of fire per cent on all incomes
above SOOO. per annum, (additional to the
same tax provided for In the amended Inter
nol Revenue Law;) 12. Bill authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to Sell Gold.) 18.
Bill prohibiting Gold Gambling; 14. BUI to
repeal the foregoing enactment; 15. BUI au
thorizing the Enrollment of Negro Slaves;
10. BUI granting to Colored Soldiers the
same pay, clothing, etc., as other soldiers;
17. BUI Increasing the Pay of the Army,
raising that of privates from sl3 to sl6 per
month; 18. The Erection'of the Tenitoiy of
Montana; 19. Bill authorizing Postal Com
munication with Brazil * 20. BUI to encour
age the Establishment of Telegraphic Com
munication with Russia by way of Behring’s
Straits; 51. The Civil and Army Appropria
tion Bills; 22. The Bill Prohibiting Seceding
States from Voting for President and Vice
President; 23. Bill, Enabling Nebraska, Col
orado and Nevada to form State Governments
and become States of the Union; '24. BUI
Amending the Postal Laws, substituting sal
aries for commissions to all postmasters.
- Of the measures which failed to become
laws, the following are perhaps the most im
portant: WinterDarls’Reconstruction bill,
the Jolnst Resolution concerning the reas
sertlon of the Monroe doctrine; the propo
sition to enlarge the New Tork and Illinois
canals; and the* Joint Resolution providing
for an Amendment to the Constitution abol
ishing Slavery. The most exciting episode
ol the session was that produced by the
speeches of Representatives Long and Har
ris, in which they declared their willingness
-to acknowledge the Southern Confederacy.
The most shameless episode was the person
al squabble between certain Representatives
from Missouri. The unpardonable sin of the
session was the inability of both Houses to
comprehend the-imminent peril in which
the country was placed by the financial situ
ation, and their failure to realize to its fnU
extent the imperative necessity oi taxing the
people as a means of preventing financial
disaster.
The Congress which has just adjourned
was not remarkable for Indus try, business
capacity or the highest patriotism, although
it con'ained many members who constantly
manifested the possession of all these qualifi
cations of a Just and useful legislator. His
tory will speak ofit as a body which was not
equal in wisdom or virtue to the crisis upon
which It was called to deliberate, and which
trifled away days and weeks and months,of
precious time when It should bare displayed
the terrible earnestness demanded by a great
occasion. s
is hoped that John Bull feels 'good
in his mind, just now. He made himself a
party to this war .because his toiyism burned
in his bones, and the opportunity was too
good to fail to give It vent. He put his band :
in his a vessel, armed, it, man
ned it, and sent it out on the ocean to des
troy our commerce. But piracy got to he a
tiresome business after a while. Johnny
wanted something better. Having had his
way so long among a parcel of unarmed wo
men on the high seas, heTelt ‘himself strong
enough to do something bigger. 8o taking
a big drink of whisky, he calls on his bottle
holders and plnguglies to-go out and, see
him whip theTankees. It turned out a lit
tle different* fiom his calculations. Like
Fat's old musket blazing at a squirrel, it
kicked the owner over, only to the * mirth of
little Sciurtu. Daddy Welles' old tub was too
much lor “ 290"—slow as it was. Johnny
leels good we hope!
pT Says an exchange: The Fremont plat
form declares authoritatively that Slaveiy is
dead. The Copperheads, while positively
endorsing this platform,' declare that the
Government is waging war for the abolition
of Slavery! How can that be? How can
you abolish that which -is already dead?
The Fremont wing of the Copperhead party,
and the Copperhead wing of the Fremont
party, find a good.deal of difficulty In recon
ciling their opposite sentiments. The dog
which the old mytbologists' described as
guarding the door of hell, bad three heads.
The Dogberry Democracy, with its infasion
of Fremontism, has more than three heads,
each one of which, instead of finding itself
on guard, will discover itself to be, in No
vember next, several miles from the door on
the inside/
|3r*The Clinton (Iowa) Slsrald says of the
progress of the railroad bridge across the
Mississippi at that point: "The work of
filling the immense crib for the turn-table
pier still progresses, and a vast: amount of
stone has already been swallowed up in its
voracious depths. When filled and planked,

DESTRUCTION OF THE ILI
-
NAVAL COMBAT OFF CHERBOURQ,
The Pirate Soak and Part of Her
Crew Captured.
ISOAPE OF OAPT. SEMMES,
[From Onr Special Correspondent!
' Tarns, Tuesday,' June 21,1J961.
The news which this mail brings out to
yon from Europe will be received with a
thrill of satisfaction by every breast through
out the Union. The intelligence is soon
told: it may be summed up- in a very few
words, hut these words cany with them a
• prestige such as for more~Teally important
news often fail to exercise. To he brief,
then, the Alabama has ceased to exist She
has disappeared from the seas forever, sunk,
gone to the bottom; she has been pounded*
pummelled,' destroyed,' punished,' by the
Federal-war steamer, • the < Kearearge, the
chosen instrument ol retribution for past in
juries. I need not say that the triumph of
the North is great/ Bnt the general excite
ment and sensation created by the Incident
is else is talked ot It is
an epitome of the great struggle on the
other side of the Atlantic brought to Euro
pean shores, and long hence in after years
when the “warls over,” the inhabitants of
the western coast of France will speak of
the fierce fight which took place that fine
Sunday morning, -on the 19th of June, I§G4,
as something which* affected and brought
home to themselves, more keenly than can
he -done by -any telegram, the conscious
ness of the,tremendous "conflict which was
being carried on elsewhere; * But to turn to
the facts of the case: these will meet your
eye in every direction, but I must also briefly
narrate them.
Intelligence had scarcely reached us that
the Conlederate cruiser had left the' China
seas, when she made her. appeorance and put
into the port of Cherbourg. I need not say
that the American consular and diplomatic
authorities were on the cui vive, and that it
was an anxious time for Mr. Dayton, consid
ering the delicate nature of the relations
between the two governments with respect
to such matters, and the earnest desire that
no possible chance should he lost of destroy
ing this plunderer on the ocean. I believe I
may say that the French authorities acted on
the whole fairly in the matter, and though •
allowing Capt. Semmes to obtain a supply
of provisions, clothing and- fuel, took care
that he should receive nothing else. And :
the rover had wherewith to pay! Ho Is said
to have brought into Cherbourg with him a
sum of eight millions of francs, which with
the savings of bis crew, his own wIU, his
log and forty-eight chronometers, he left
'there, before ne went out to flgbt the Kear
• Barge, then lying off the harbor, waiting for
him. Why he went out at all,- or rather
why he went out deliberately to fight In
stead of.first attempting as usual to escape
without fighting, it seems difficult to say.
The Keorsarge is said to have sent in a
courteous challenge. I have been'given to
understandby intelligence from a Southern
source, that Capt. Semmes held a council of
war with his officers, who were unanimous
to accept the conflict Thereupon this Capt
Semmes telegraphed up to Mr. Slidell in
P.rie, that it was eventually determined
that he should go out and fight; and, fortu
nately for the cause of American commerce,
out he went and met with his fate.
A letter from Cherbonrsr published this
morning in the Debate says mat the feeling in
the French fleet there, and the ‘‘elegant so
ciety” of the place was all In favor ol the pi
rate ! They must have been specially morti
* fied, when, in the space of a couple of hours
they saw the He* Marge steam into port, hav
ing in the-interim sent their pet corsair to
the bottom!
About half-past ten on. the morning of the
ISth, the Alabama left the harbor attended
by the French iron>clad, the'Conronne, ap
pointed to see that no engagement rook
place within French waters. At ten min
utes after eleven the first gnu was fired by
the Alabama, when about a mile distant from
the EesMarge, who immediately replied, and
the engagement became continuous. Some
accounts say that the Alabama‘attempted to
close; others that both vessels continued to
man(enver at a % distance varying during the
combat from ahalf to a quarter of a mile.
Abont twelve o’clock, that is, la less than an
hour, the fire of the Alabama slackened; she
was seen to let off her steam, and presently
to make head sail and steer toward
the land. A ball is said to have shattered
her screw, or as some say. to have pass
ed through her boiler, in another half
hour ’she was evidently in a sinking state,
end abont ten minutes to one went down
bodily. . The crew were picked np—some
from boats, some from the water—by the
Kcarsaree, by a French pilot boat, and by
the English steam yacht.the Deerhound;
the account ot the action of whose men will
reach you by the London papers. TheKeaf
sanre here ell, though considerably damaged,
end vitn twelve shot in nerhnll, steamed
proudly Into Cherbourg and anchored close
to the Napoleon screw liter, where she'was
speedily visited in her turn by numbers of
the “elegant society” of the place, in whose
estimation the Federal navy doubtless stands
several points higher than it did a few days
ago. -Ten wounded Confederates and three
Federal* have been transferred to the local
hospitals. The Confederate authorities here
are said to admit ten killed. The two ves
sels ore said to hare fired abont 180 shots
each. For farther particulars 1 must refer
yon to. the numerous statements which are
hourly appearing. The- result has been glo
rious and the exultation Is great.
A letter to the London Times, dated at
Southampton, England, JnneSl, says:
The English steam yacht Deerhonnd, be
longing to Mr. John Lancaster, of Hlndley
■ Bin, Wigan, Lancashire, arrived hero'.last
night and landed Captain Semmes (comman
der of the late Confederate' steamer Alabama,)
thirteen officers, and twenty-six men, whom
she rescued from drowning after the action
off Cherbourg yesterday, which resulted in
the destruction of the world-renowned Ala
bama. From interviews held this morning
with Mr. Lancaster, with Captain Jones
(master of the Deerhonnd), aod with some of
the Alabama’s officers, and from information
gleamed In other quarters, I am enabled to
xnrnishyonwith some interesting particulars
connected with, the fight between the Ala
bama and the Kears&rge.
On arriving at Cherbourg at 10 o’clock on
Saturday night, by railway from Caen, Mr.
Lancaster was informed by the captain ot his
yacht,, which was lying in harbor awaiting
ids arrival, that it was reported that the
Alabama'ahd the Ee&rsarge were going out
to fight each other in the morning. Mr.
Lancaster, whose wife, nelce, and family
were also on board his yacht, at once deter
mined to go out in the morning and see the
combat.
The Alabama left*.Cherbourg harbor about
10 o’clock on Sunday morning, and thcKear
sarge was then several miles out to seaward,
with her steam up ready lor action. The
French plated ship of war.Conronne followed'
the Alabama out of harbor, and stopped
when the vessels were a league ofl the coast,
her object being to see that there .was no
violation of the law of rations by any fight
taking place within the legal distance from
land.
One pt the officers of the Alabama names
tbebonrot 11.10' as the commencement of
the action, and 12.40 as the period of its ces
sation, making its duration an hour and a
half; while the time observed on hoard the
Deerhound, which is most likely to b? accu
-rate, that vessel being free from the excite
ment and confusion necessarily existing on
hoard the Alabama, limited the -action to an
hour, the last shot being fired at 13.10. The
distance between thtftwo contending vessels
.when the Alabama opened fire was estimated
on board the Deerhound at about a mile,
while the Alabama's officer tells me that she
was a mile and a half away from the Kear
sarge >rben she fired the first shot
Be this as it may, it Is certain that the Ala
hama . commenced 1 the firing, and as it is
known that her.guns were pointed 1 for a
range of two thousand yards, and that the
• sc-cond shot she fired, in about half a minute
alter the first, went right into the Hears irte,
that may be taken os the real distance be
tween the two ships. Tbe-firing became gen
eral from both vessels at the distance of a
little under a mile, and was well sustained on
both sides, Mr. Lancaster's impression being
that at no time during the action were they
less than a quarter of a mile from each other.
Seven complete circles were made In the pe
riod over which the fight lasted; it was esti
mated'on hoard the Deerhound that the Ala
bama fired in all about one hundred and fifty
rounds, some single gnus, and some inhroad
sides of thre or - four, and the Kcarsarge
about,one hundred, the majority of which
were Eleven-inch shells, ohe Alabama's
were principally Blakeley's pivot guns. In
the early part of the action the relative firing
was about three from the Alabama to one
from the Kearsarge, but os it progressed the
latter gained the advantage, having apparent
ly a much greater power of steam, she ap
peared to have an advantage over the Ala
bama of about three knots an hour, and steam
was seen rushing out of her blow-pipe all
through the action, while the Alabama seem
ed to nave-very little steam on
At length the Alabama's rudder was dis
abled by one of her opponent’s heavy shells,
and they hoisted sails; but'lt was soon re
ported to Captain Seznznes by one of his offi
cers that his ship was sinking. With great
braver; the guns were kept ported till the
muzzles were actually under water, and the
last shot from the doomed ship was fired as
she was settling down. When her stem was
completely under • water Captain Semmes
gave orders for* the men to save themselves as
best they, could, end every one jumped Into
the sea and swam to the boats which nad pat
off to their rescue.; Those of them who were
wounded were ordered:by Captain Semmes
to be placed .in the Alabama’s boats and
taken on board tbe Kearsaige, which was, as
far as possible, obeyed. .
Captain Semmes and those above-men
tioned were saved in the Deerhound’s boats;
and when it was ascertained that the water
was clear of every.one that had life left, and
that no more help could be Tendered, the
yacht steamed away for Cowes, and thence
totbis’port. f
The Kcars&rge, it is known, has for some
time past been in pursuit of the Alabama,
which vessel Capt Winslow was determined
to follow everywhere till he overlook his en
emy. [Very recently she chased and came np
with one ol.the vessels of the Chinese expe
ditionary force returning to England, and
ran alongside with her gnus pointed and crew
at quarters before she could be convinced of
her mistake, for the expeditionary vessel was
very much like the celebrated Confederate
cruiser. The Eearsarge was then described
as likely to prove a formidable overmatch for
tbe Alabama, having hlcher steam power and
rate of speed.a crew nearly double” that
under Capt. Semmes, end, unlike her sister
ship the Tuscarora, carrying ten, instead of
eight, very heavy IMnch shell guns, the bo*
called Columbians of the American navy. The
Alabama, on the contrary, Is stated to have
had only twe heavy rifled guns and six broad*
aide SS-poundera.
The crew of the Alabama comprised in all
abont!so when she left Cherbourg. Of these
ten or twelve were killed during the action,
and a number were known to be drowned,-
the difference between these and the number
brought home by the Deerhound being, it is
hoped, saved by the boats of the Kearsarge,
or some French pilot boats which were in the
vicinity. The French war vessel Couronoe
did not come ont beyond three miles. The
surgeon ol the Alabama was an Englishman,
and, as nothing has been heard of him since
he went below to dress the wounds of some'
of the sufferers, it Is feared that he went
down with the ship.
The wounded men on board the Deerhound
were carefully attended to until her arrival
here, when they were taken to the Sailor’s
Home, in the Canute road. SeVeral of the
men are more or less scarred, but they are all
about the town to day, and the only notice
able care is that of a mau-who was wounded
in the groin, and that but sUgblly.
Captain Semmes and his Flrct Lieutenant.
Mr. J. 11. Kill, are staying at Kel way’s Hotel,
in Queen’s Terrace, where the gallant com
mander Is under the care of Dr. Ware, a
medical gentlemen of this town, his right
band being slightly splintered by a sheik
"When the men came oA -hoard the Deer-’
hound they bad nothing on buttbetr drawers
and shirts, havingbeen stripped to fight, and
one of the men, with a sailor’s devotednesa, •
inflated on seeing his Captain, who was then
lying in Mr. Lancaster’s cabin in a very ex
hausted state, as he had been entrusted by
Captain Semmes with' the ship’s papers, and
to no one else would he give them up; The
men were all very anxious about their Cap
tain, and were rejoiced to find that he had
been; saved;- They appeared to be a set of
flrst-fate fellows, and to act well together in
perfect union under the most trying circum
stances. . ...
The captain of the forecastle on board the
Alabama, a Norwegian, says that when he
was in the water he was hailed by a boat
fromitheKearearge, “Come here,"old man,
and we’ll save you;” to which he replied,
“Never mind me, I can keep up half an
hour yet; look after some that are nearer
drowning than I am.’’ He then made'away
for the Deerhound, thanking God that he was
under English colors.". 1 •
Throughout the action the Deerhound'
.kept about a mile to windward of the com
batants, and was enabled, towitness the
whole of it. The Kearsarge was burning
Newcastle cools, and the- : Alabama-Welsh
ccals, the difference in the smoke (the north
country coal yielding so much more) ena
bling the movements of each ship to be dis

ESCAPE OF SEMMES.
Tho Daily iTeuw’ Southampton correspon
dent cays: . .
Captain Scmxncs is at Eetway’s Hotel in
Southampton, and the other officers and
men are abont the town petting clothes and
necessaries; they are taken chaige of at the
Sailors’ Home here. Captain Semmes and
Chlet Officer Lee. went this afternoon to
Emanuel’s, the tailor in the High street, to
make, purchases. The-Captain’s hand was
bandaged, owing to a wound he received in
action. The shop was crowded with people,
endeavoring to get a glimpse of the Corned
erate.commander.
Messrs. Emanuel'tapped several bottles
of port, and treated their customer, his lieu
tenant and those who came to see them, with
much hospitality. Capt Semmes anxiously
asks what the people of England thought of
the South, said slavery there existed hut
in name, and that the North and South would
never again be united. He said, moreover,
that be had endeavored to do his duty to his
country. 'When he left the shop acrowdhad
collected round the door, who made way for
him and treated him with much respect. He
seemed to bo laboring under mental anguish,
and to feel most acutely the complete defeat
he had experienced, and the death and’suffer*
logs which that defeat had caused.
' CapU Semmes is a thin, wiiy-bnllt man.
with a stem and determined air. He is about
fifty years of age, with a small, red, pointed
' face, and a heard and moustache In the Amer
ican style. He bad on a very old naval offi
cer's cap, and'an English naval lieutenant’s
Jacket He declined to see any strangers at
his hotel. His Ist lieutenant is a fine looking
young man. In answer to questions Capu
Semmes said that he left all the property he
possessed and upwards of sixty chronome
ters which he had taken from captured Fed
eral merchantmen, in Cherbourg, previous to
going out to fight the Eearsarge.
■ He says that be was completely deceived
as to the strength and armament of the Fed
eral ship. What be recollected of the Keor
earge was that she was an ordinary sloop of
war. It he bad known that she was an iron
clad, and much more heavily armed than
the Alabama, he would not have fought, as
It was madness to do so.' He said that'the
fight between the Alabama and Kearsargc
has taught another lesson in naval warfare,
that of the uselessness of ordinary ships of
war like the Alabama encountering an iron
clad and heavily armed ship like the Eear
sarge. Be docs not know the extent of dam
.age he did to the enemy's ship; all he knows
is that he has lost bis own.
It appears that Semmes and a number of
hie officers and crew escaped from the Ala
bama just as she was going down, and that
Mr. Lancaster, the owner of the steam yacht
Deerhound, was desired by the commander
of the K ears urge to save as many of tbe offi
cers and crew of the Confederate vessel as
Eossiblc. Captain Semmes was in the water
alf an hour, and was nearly exhausted
when picked up. It appears he begged Mr.
Lancaster to get away as fast as possible, to
prevent him and those who were with him
irom being token prisoners, and the Deer
hound, being a fast yacht, was enabled to
getont of tbe reach of the. Federal nun-of
war. Mr. Lancaster describee the fight as a
magnificent sight. Be saw holes right
through tbe Alabama, made by the tremen
dous phot of the Eeareurge.
A second letter from the same correspond
ent says;'
When the battle was at on end the Deer
hound steamed overto the Rearsarge, and
Mr. Lancaster was asked bj the officers of
the FederaTehipto trj and pick up the scores
of the: Alabama's crew and officers who were
floating and swimming about. He lowered
his yacht boats, and one of them, command
ed by a man named' Adams, was steering bis.
boat into a group of a dozen straggling per
sons, when, he passed 1 a drowning man at
some short distance with an officers cap on.
One of the men in the boat cried out, “That’s
Semmes.” and the~drowning man called ont,
“I am the Captain—save me; l cannot keep
up any longer.” Adams went and dragged
him Into the boat ..Semmes then said, “For
God’s sake don’t put me on board the Rear
.Barge, but put me on board yonr yacht”
Adams promised to do so, and laid Semmes
down in the bottom, and covered him with a
. sail to conceal him from the Kearsarge’s
boats, which were evidently anxiously search
ing for him. . TVhen Adams had saved a boat
load be took them on board the yacht, and
Semmes was at once placed below. As soon
. as all that were seen In the wator were picked
• up, Mr. Lancaster was anxious to get away,
and began .to. steam out to sea. He expected
that be should have been brought to by a
shot from the Kearsarge, but she was too
disabled it appears to go after the Deerhound
to overhaul her, and thus Semmes escaped
being made prisoner..
Capt, Semmes declined an invitation to a
public- dinner at Southampton. He is said
to have gone to Paris to report to the Con
lederate Commissioner there.
INCIDENTS.
While the' Alabama was sinking,’Semmea
dropped his sword into the sea, to prevent
the possibility of its getting into the hands
oftheEcdcrals.
The Times b ays; The men were all true to
the last. They only ceased firing when the
water came into the muzzles of their guns;
and QB.theyswain for life, all they cared for
was that their commander should not fall
Into Federal hands. .Hq reports that he owes
hfs best men to the training they received on
hoard the Excellent.
Before leading the Deerhound, Capt.
Semmes presented to Mr. Lancaster’s son
one of his officer’s swords and a pistol, in
remembrance of the occurrence and the kind
treatment he and his men had'received on
board the yacht.
The -Daily heirs says:
From Liverpool we leant.that the Ameri-i
can shipping in that port was never so pro*
fneely decked out with bunting os It was yea**

ship when she went down. The yacht Deer

sonal
Appealed to last February by the unani
mous resolution of the delegates for the 9th

tired to make place for some other candidate,
it seemed that, while our brave defenders in

sible to foreknow what will be the prevailing
''opinion when the delegates froro'the Lake to
tbeTVabash shall commingle. Nor can I, of
course, predict all the details of the platform;
But. frankness compels me to tell you my
views ou the greatqnestloiiß of the day, un
reservedly, in advance.
I-justirf the Administration 'ln its denial
to suspected traitors and their abettors, of
the wnt of hdbeat corpus; for,aa i read the
Constitution, this was the express Intent of
its framers, when, in time of insurrection,
the public, safety required it.
I justify it, also;'m.whst is denounced by
‘ its enemies as “arbitrary arrests;” and only,
regret that any thus arrested, against whom
there seemed reasonable suspicion, like Mar
shal Kane and others, were discharged with
onttri&L
I justify a Butler in daring to hang a trait
or in New Orleans, and a Burnside in arrest
ing an influential politician forpnbllcly defy
ing and spitting oh a military order, deemed
essential for the nation's cause.
Iheartily approve the President’s Emanci
pation Proclamation, and his solemn decla-.
ration that no slave of any State, whether on
the border or further South, who fights for
his country, «>mii ever wear the chains of
bondage, .
I am for the most vigorous exertions to re
inforce our armies by the largest possible ad
dition of colored troops: and only regret
that the persistent opposition to them by the
enemies of the Administration, theit Con
gressmen and their presses, has retarded their
organization; when,' had they unitedly aided
in tbe wort and encouraged It, we might
have bad, ere now, 400,000 of such soldiers,
instead of 100,000 and avoided all impending
drafts.
I endorse most heartily the policy of con
fiscating the property of rebels, voluntarily
in arms' against their country; and who,
guiltier than the parricide, seek to invoiv 0
country and citizen Mike in a common des
truction.
I am for striking at slavery, the cause of all
our woes, and tbe progenitor of this gigantic
rebellion, with every power under our con*
trol—fWar Power of the Army, the Naval
Power of the Navy, and the Proclamation
fjower of tbe President; and for its final and
rrevocable extirpation from the land, by an
amendment to the Constitution, which shall
make’tbat instrument, as well as the Repub
lic itself, absolutely, and forever free; and
thus also obey the Divine injunction, “ to
break every yoke and let the oppressed go
free.*? *
I am against treason, whether it rears it
hideous form in front of onr patriotic and
gallant armies, or under the roof ot our cap-
Ttol: in the streets of-New York, or within
the borders of Indiana; and lam against any
severance of the Union by the sword of re
bellion, by a disgraceful compromise, or by
a base surrender of the sacred canseln which
so many martyrs for the right have so sadly
and yet so bravciy^fnllen.
And, to sum up, I am for Abraham Lin
coln—tbe pilot who shrank not in the dark
est hour—and for Andrew Johnson—“ faith
ful among the faithless found,” —for the
highest offices in the nation’s gift, of which
they arc each so worthy.

[From our Special Correspondent,!
Nhshvuxs, July 4th, 1564.
There are no movements at the front; the
army having remained quiet since the battle
of the S7th, oh account of which I hare al
ready transmitted to you. lam Inclined to
think that the quiet will continue a week or
two, yet; when we shall hear—not of an
other .assault on Eenesaw Mountain—but of
a flank movement in the direction of Atlan
ta, which will compel Johnston to move out
of his ! present strong position: In this mili
tary district all is quiet, and there is every
prospect that the calm will not be broken.
SHEEHAN AND A BETBBEND SPECULATOR.
A few days since, Her. W. P. Campbell, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, in this
place, was sent North, by order of General
Webster, Sherman’s Chief of Stain He was,
before the war, a \iolent rebel: and remain*
ed such, till a very recent period, when he
began to affect a conversion, with what ob
ject, we are at a loss to ascertain.
Sometime since, be addressed aletterto
Sherman, stating that that there was, in.
Nashville, a large quantity of Confederate
money which he could get hold of and take
South, to buy cotton, if permitted to go
through the lines, asserting that his object
was to realize a handsome profit for the pur
pose of buildinga college at Nashville. Gen.
Sherman received and read the letter, and
then throw it aside without answering it, as
be knew nothing about the author, and sup
posed his motives were really good, while
his plans were not permissible.
The Reverend gentlemen waited lor a con
siderable length of time, when he addressed
the General as follows:
Kashvtllb, Jane 4.
Major General Sherman:
Bm: I wrote yon sometime since relative to a"
permit to go South and purchase cotton, with
Confederate money, and have received no answer.
I presume you thought my college project was not
feasible, and therefore did not give it attention
Now 1 will make this proposition: I will buy the
cotton, and divide the profits with you.
Tours, truly.
„ _ L W. P. CAMPBELL.
Gen. Sherman read the message, and im
mediately seized a pen and Ink and wrote the
following endorsement on the.back:
“This is infamous, Gen. Webster will ar
■rest this man, and punish him as his age and
standing In community demands.”
The orderwas transmitted to General Web
ster, who, In consideration of his age—he
was sixty-five—only ordered him north o! the
Ohlo river. If yon bear of any reverend Cop
perhead martyr named Campbell in the
North 1 , preaching of the tyranny of the mili
tary authorities here, yon can expose him.
AN UNGRATEFUL WRETCH.
Amid the general confusion which • has
reigned supreme these two or three years,
veiy.few darkies have remained with their
masters. The great mass of them are now
.either' laboring for the Government, in the
winy, or in business “on their own hook.”
But there is an occasional . exception. Mr.
—— had a very faithfnl house servant, who
clang to him throughout, and who never ex
pressed any desire to leave “Massa,” either
to labor for hlrqeelf. or for the tented field.
But it-was evident that this state of things
cost Mr, a great deal of money, and
engineering, as Sambo wes required to
do little work, and was always kept dressed
up to the lop of fashion. Bnt, thought the
old man, “rll pay you for this, when the
Yankees are gone;” and therefore judge his
surprise, yesterday, (Sunday,) when Sambo,
bmidle m hand, made bis politest bow, and
said: .
“ Good-bye, Massa, Tee gnlne to list for a
soldier.*’
“"Why, what do you mean?” -
“O,' to-morrow’s Fourth of July, when
white men cot free; and so nigger is coin**’
to list, and get free.’* 6 °
“ But have I not always need yon well ?”
“ Tee, Maaso,-bnt Td rather be free.”
* “But if yon enlist, perhapayon’llbeshot.”
“I’d rather be shot than whipped.’’
u But did I ever whip you?”
“No, but may be you’d sell me, and then I
might .be whipped.” . .
*• But what will yon gain by fighting ?”
“I’ll be tree,” .
“ Ton will be sorry for this.”
“Iguess not, Massa.”
“ Ton are an ungrateful wretch: rvenaed
yon well, end now yon leaye me.”.
*’ Well I’ze worked for you 83 years, and I
guess dat makes ns square.”
Sambo made one of his most polite bows
and to-day bo is a member of tbe 10th U. 8.

At this hour, (13 m.,) the celebration of the:
anniversary of the nation’s birthday is-In
progress, and I doubt if, this people of Nash
-1 vllle eyer before witnessed such a pageant on
.this hallowed day, for its observance had
long ceased in the South, before treason had
openly struck at the Government.
The procession included the. military- be
nevolent societies, fire’companies, andpriv&te
• citizens; and was more, than half a mils In
lengtbi A large number of houses were dec
oratedlwith the Stars and'Strlpes, and one of
the Hugest flags I have seen is floating from the
spire of the capital.
Speaking is at this moment in progress, in
a grove near the city, the orators being Gov.
Johnson, Gen. Rousseau and others. The
rebels and their sympathizers have remained
inside their houses, during the day, evidently
chagrined at the pageant before them.
GOLDEN DEEAMS.
The 3ate rise in gold gave the rebels here
unalloyed satisfaction. . They predicted that
greenbacks would soon be] os worthless as
“ Confederate” currency; and then the North
must desist from the struggle, as that section:
could hot carry on operations without either
money or credit. As a specimen, I met &
rebel, with whom I have some acquaintance,
a few days since. Since the battle of Chick
omaug’a 1 have not seen him wear so smiling
a 'countenance, and 1 immediately conjec
tured that he had heard some grapevine con
solation. He immediately accosted me
with—
“Well, gold closed at 800 in New York,
to-day," . . '
“ Where did you get the news ?” I asked.
, “ The bankers got a dispatch.” said he. ,
As I-fe&rcd the report might be true, I said
nothing; bntthe dispatches of that night to
the papers were as follows:
“ Gold opened at 270. rose to 275, and closed
decidedly lower, at 2253238.”
Next evening I met him, and, forgetting
how his former lie bad been exposed, be told
me that gold closed at 255. I then reminded
him of ms former statement, and remarked
that il he conld not communicate the truth,
he had better remain silent. The fact is,
gold closed at 230.

Influence at work la the neglect of President Lincoln
to sign the recent act for the repeal of tbe Gold Bill,
and tbe foir that be will not do ao. An application
of the same tactics which were directed at Secretary

somewhat to do with It. But we are quite sura tbe
real cause has very little to do with either, except as
incidentally employedby operators tofclve the mar
ket inch direction m will accord with their interest*.
It li for tbe Interest of large holders that tbe price

The demand for money has been Jnst u pressingai
at any previous day, and If each a thing were possi
ble, even more Everybody la speculating in mar
ketable commodities, and everybody wants money
to do it with. Of coarse every new operator that en
ters tbe ring, and every old one that can find any
thing to bay, wants money. These latter are not
yonr modest gentlemen, that are sometimes willing
to fcrego their desires, and open an opportunity for
some one else, bntthey ate continually crying for
more. They get a few favors, bat not many. A re
pulse does not discourage them, out they mate a
second, a third and fourth assault upon the bankers,
each time with Increased persistency. Of coarse a

themselves foolishly creitc.no one will regret tt.
Ooe thing Is certain, the supply Is not half equal to

fie Crops in Indiana*
Bays the Fort Wayne Times of the Ist:
Harvesting baa already commenced In this county.
The yield of wheat will be small The dry hot wea
ther naa ripened tbe wheat before the kernela'hsd a
chance to fill out. The ralnaof yesterday helped the
corn prospects verymneh. .
Say* the Franklin Jeffersonian: .
Tbe farmers have been unite busy during this week
harvesting their wheat. Never smea one tecollac
tloa was tbe crop better In Johnson county.
The Randolph County Journal says:
Onr present wneat crop is good but light. Tbe
corn we eapect to see tolerably well yet. Itwlll de
pend much on the length of tbe season. Potatoes
ar* standing a worse chance. They ean’twiit for tbe
rains of August- Let things torn out the best they
can. we must have scant supplies and high pMces,
esc we want to say to everybody, save up everything
and plant and sow everything that can grow after
tile. Buckwheat and turnips especially come In for
attention, let farmer* go in strong on buckwheat,
and let evert body in town and country scatter turnip
seed oter all creation. Flentv of them will hels out
ninch in.tbe production of milk.butter and beef.. • ; •
Says the New Albany Ledger: , .
Reports of the growing corn crop in Southern Indiana
are most cheering. If the weather continues favora
ble. the prospect la that tba yield will be heavier than
In any previous season for tue past tea yean.
Says the Owen County Farmer ;
The farmer* are new In tba midst of the .wheat her*
