East Maysville Affairs Scenes of Vio
lence The Remedy.
Mb. Editor: It Is well known that for
some time past. East Maysville has been
the theatre of habitual rowdyism, and that
scarcely a night passes that the peace and
quiet of the place is not disturbed by per
sons from abroad who visit the houses of ill
fame which are suffered to exist there. At
all hours of the night, these revellers may
be heard making all things hideous by the
turbulence of their conduct, and the danger
which ensues to peaceful persons and their
property. It is natural to ask why these
things are tolerated.
It is the duty of the Board of Trustees,
who are the guardians of the peace and
morals of the town, to put an instant stop to
tbese disturbances, first by the employment
of an efficient police, and then by the
removal of the attractive nuisances whloh
are the etimulatingcause of all the violence
and wroDg. God knows, tasy collect taxes
enough in tra lace, to pay ten times over
for a strong police force, sufficient to keep
perfect quiet at all times, and the money
had better infioltely be expended in pro
tecting the peace and property of the citi
zens, than t be appropriated as some of it
has been lately for partial and local im
provements. The citizens of East Mays
ville, it is well known, have for several
year paid higher taxes than are paid in old
Maysville, as grevious and burdensome as
the taxes have been in that place, and yet
in more than half the town not one dollar
has been expended in the way of improve
ments for several years. Even the gutters,
which are so necessary for the drainage and
proper health of the place, In some parts of
the town have not been cleaned for years.
It is the duty of the Trustees, in the pre
servation of good order, and the conservatism
of the public peace, to take steps to abate
the moral nuisances which exist right under
their noses, and for a failure to do so, the
Corporation is liable to indictment. They
should see that their Marshal does his duty,
by arresting the owners of houses, who rent
them for purposes of prostitution, and the
keepers of such bouse3, ar,d take them be
fore some Judge of Police, or Justice of the
Peace, who will hold them te bail to appear
before the Circuit Court, to answer indict
ments for the dances of which they are
guilty. If the Marshal alone is not com
petent to make the arrests, then the Board
of Trustees are bound to provide him propar
assistants for this purpose, as well as to pre
vent. the scenes of outrage and violence
which ara constantly ocouHcg within their
jurisdiction. If the Board of Trustees will
give their attention to these grievances, of
which the citizens have just right to com
plain, tbey can speedily restore quiet and
security to the place. A Uitizes.
Sketch, of Capt. Semmes, of the AlaJ
fcama
Captain Raphael Semmes, of the rebel
Lavy, was originally an officer of the United
States navy. He was born in Maryland,
and a citizen of that State was, on April
1, 1828, appointed a midshipman of the
United States navy. He was first attached
to the sioop-of-war Lexington, eighteen
guns, which in 1827 wa3 orderd to tbe Med
iterranean squadron. Hev was afterward at
tached to tbe sloop Erie 13 guns, on the
West Indian squadron. In 1830 he served
on the steameriPorpois, belonging to the last
named squadron, and next year went to the
Naval School atNorfDlk for examination.
He 'passed' on the 28ih of April 1832, and
was allowed leave of absence. He was du
ring 1832 appointed an assistant in charge of
the chronometers, Sec. During 1835 he
was appointed Acting Master of the frigate
Constellation, 36 guns, flagship of Commo
dore Dallas, on the West Indian squadron,
occupying this position about about two
years. Oo tbe 9th of February, 1837, be
was Drenaoted Lieutenant, aud during 1838
was tent to tbe Navy Yard at Norfolk to j
serve on the receiving ship, staying there)
until 1810, when be was attached to tne
brig Cousert, engaged on thp surveying ser
vice along the cost of the Gulf of Mexico.
He was next ploced on shore duty at tbe
Navy Yard at Pensacolo, and in 1813 com
manded tbe steamer Poinsett, engaged in
the survey of Tampa By, and wa attach
ed to her until April 1815. He was next
ordered to the brig Porpoise, teuguns, ac

Tbe Mexican war now broke out, and he

flag ship frigate Banian. 41 guns, belong to
the Home squadron, and returned home In
nrmhj 1817. He was now ordered to
command the Electa, a two-gun storeship
belonging to the same squadron, and left
her in June 1818, when he was appointed
Inspector, &c. at Peosacola. After leaving
this postitioo be went on short cruise,
from which he returned in April 1813. He
remained uuemployed forjseven year-. On

Washington Correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
Wash iwoton, July 7th, ISM.
To the Editor of the Enquirer:
In a recent letter, 1 stated that there would
be a general concentration of tha forces or
the Federals and Confederates in the neigh
borhood of Richmond, and that there the
great final battle of tha war would be
fouzbt. I speak knowingly when I say that
all our available forces are being brought
from Louisiana and Mississippi to reinforce
General Grant. All Sherman's army would
be ordered to the Jamea Kiver were it re
lieved of its present position. The war is to
be ended on Virginia Boil.
It is conceded by Mr. Lincoln himself
that Richmond will not betaken this year,
and be says wa must have another year's
sharp war before this rebellion can be put
down. With three or four hundred thou
sand more men, bo is sure the South can
be conquered in another year. We have
had that sort of talk from the commence
ment; and are fartheroff to-day from con
quering a peace by force of arms, than when
the battle of Bull Run was fought. Mr.
Lincoln says, too many precious lives have
been sacrificed to permit the war to end un
successfully. That is like the player at the
gambling table, who hid lost the most of his
fortune, and was determined to risk thebal
me, in the hope of regaining what he had
already lost. Mr. Lincoln, having brought
the country to the verge of ruin, is deter
mined to risk the last dollar aod the last
man in hopes of recovering what is lost.-
No! but of re-electing himself to the Presi
dency, -and putting the negroes on an equal
ity with the whites. More men by the
hundreds of thousands, and more money by
the thousands of millions, are demanded for
the purpose of being squandered in the ac
complishment of an impossibility. The
South cannot be conquered, and the sooner
the people of the North make up their
minds to that the better for themselves and
children. What the armies we have al
ready raised have failed to accomplish, it is
criminal folly to suppose can be accomplish
ed by any that may be raised hereafter.
The Army of Potomac is not what it was
when it crossed the Rapidan in May, either
in spirit or ia cumbers. One fact is siguifi
cant. The Surgeon General has communi
cated to the core commanders that greit
lumbers of the soldiers mutilate themselves
for the purpose of getting out of the service.
General Burnside has been foolich enough
to allow this fact to be male public. After
the Russian Campaign, Surgeon General
Duraas communicated a similar fact to Na
poleon about bis troops. Napoleon enjoin
ed him not to make the fact public, as its
publication would injure mire than the loss
of a battle. This circumstance shows that
the spirit of the army is failing It that its
enthusiasm has died out, and that tbe troops
are tired of tbe war. The disasters that
have attended tbe army since it crossed the
Ripidan, and the uuhelthy location of tbe
army, and the apparent hopelessness of
taking Richmond.deprive the army of much
of its efficiency.
Nor have the lata raids by our troops been
Cilculatal to inspirit the army. Sheridan's
was disastrous; Hunter's was more so, and
Wilson's worse, if any thing, than either.
Wilson and Kautz together lost nearly all
their command, nearly eight thousand.
Same of tae missing may yet fiad their way
back to camp. Tbe defeat was a bad one;
and the object of the expedition was in its
main feature, a failure. The Danville road
was not cut; nor were the other roads, re
ported to have been destroyed, os much in
jured as has been represented. Exaggerated
stories of damages done must be gotten up
and circulated to relieve the disaster of its
bitterness. The Killpitrick raid is a fair
sample of tha whole. It is reported we
brought iu (as some of the points of the
Kautz expedition) some three bundled ne
groes; Tbat can hardly be possible, since
it was with the greatest difficulty our troops
could themselves escape, having to cut their
way through the rebel lines. - But if true,
what a dear exchange! We admit a loss of
at least one thousand killed. These were
white men; and we got lor them three hun
dred negroes. We may be destroying slave -ry
in that way, but what of the white race?
Besides the mas. Wilson and Kiutz lost
seventeen canooa ana caisons, two hundred
ambulance wagons, about one thousand
horses, &c. Iam informed the cause ofihe
disaster was the want of discipline mon?
the men, who left tbe ranks and roamed
about, plundering private houses, raping
women, and driving off negroes. I venture
to say that nothing in the history of the war
(not excepting Sherman's raid into Missis
sippi) will compare with this for disregard
of all the rules of civilized warfare.
No one seems to know mucb about the
raid into Northern Maryland. This much
may be set down as certain: the raiders are
none other than the troops who, under Ear
ly, whipped Hunter so badly. Sj soon as
they had driven Hunter across the Greeo
briar, they put immediately for Martinsburg
and Winchester. At tbe former place two
ur;a trains oi auiiuuumuu auu
j captured, two whole amounting
lrcra trains of ammunition and immense
to near two millions of dollars in value, all
of which was immediately put in wagons
and sent to Staunton. The presumption is
they came for no other object than to get
Government stores, horses, goods.and other
army plunder. Like all other raids, this
one will have no effect on the final result.
It will scare, barrass and injure private per
sons, and tbat is about all any raid bas yet
done, except great loss to tbe parties making
tbem. Such, at least, has been tha experi
ence on our side.
Many here think this raid of Eirly is a
reconnaissance in force, the avaunt courier
of a heavy force about to pounce on this
city. I do not think so. Tbe time bas not
arrived for Lee to make such a demonstra
tion. I have no doubt he bas been prepar-
- , - month nast:

since the bulletin issued by Stanton July 3.
wticb s'a'.ed that Sherman wis In possns-

As nothing bas since been received confirm
atory of this dispatch, the geueral impres
sion, is that there was no truth in it. It is
needle's to say that mucu solicitude is felt
for Sherman and bis command. The report
i is ina iLitni"i"u roteno j tioio.
that Johnston had transferred a portion of
bis army to Richmond is not credited here
in army circles. Tbe object of Johnston is
evidently to weaken Sherman as much as
possible before he shall reach the Chatta
hoochee river, so that in case the Federals
shall be defeated there, few of them can es
cape death or capture. Secretary Stanton
is entirely satisfied Sherman is in good posi
tion and condition, aud that he will cer
tainly capture Atlanta. Mr. Liincoin atso
shares in these views of his War Secretary.
The destruction of the Alabama has caus
ed much rejoicing. It is about the only
decisive victory we have achieved this year
And singular as it map seem, it is not con
sidered so much a victory over tbt rebels as
over the British flag. It is generally trea
ted as a victory over Jonny Bull, since the
vessel was fitted out in a British port and
was manned by English sailora and gun
ners. It is not expected that Mr. Fessenden
will chanae the course marked out by Mr.
Chase. Indeed be cannot do it if be would,
without producing a general convulsion.
So he savs. He will isue more greenbacks
He will emand instead of contractig theB
currencv. One thousand million of dollars
were appropriated by this congress at its late
session. That cannot be raised ny loans.
The Treasury will have torely mainly on its

riA whlrh will eive assurance tbat the
rebellion can be pjit down some day in tbe
distant future. Such victories are hardly
to be looked for at present, at lease, and the
future is too misty to see far into it

The news from Washington is exciting.
The star says the skirmishing on the Rock
villa road that commenced at an early hour
this forenoon was continued by tbe advance
of tbe Rebel force to a point about four
miles west of 1 ennallytown; there their
nroress on that road stopped, and they dis-
araoared in some other direction. Subse-

It is reported to-day tbat the Rebels
burned the residence of F. P. Blair. There
were 800 iufantry only in force encamped
at Rockrille last niht. Refugees arriving
to-day from tbe vicinity of EJwar'ds Fer
ry report them crossing at North Point yes
terday and to-day in large numbers, some
saying 12 000 strong and other 30,000.
Breckinridge is believed to be in com
of their advance in this direotion, and Im
boden commands the cavalry now banging
around our fortifications. All was quiet iu
front of our picket lioea upon what is known
as the River Road. Up to noon to-day, the
Star says the numbers and purposes of the
Rebel invading forces are coufusingly con
flicting. We give, elsewhere, tbe opinion enter
tained by many, tbat the Rebsl force is not
of weight sufficient to undertake a serious
attack upon the fortifications of Washing
ton, and tbat it Is not their purpose to do eo.
Per contra, we have just received the fol
lowing from a source of great intelligence
and roliability one that has, on repeated
occasions, had the earliest aod most accu
rate information of Rbel movements in
Virginia. The information received from
this quarter, is as follows:
The Rebel army of invasion down the
valley is 15,000 stroug, including 8,000 cav
alry, under the command of Early, Breck
inridge, (Ransom, Imboden and McCaus
lacd. Longstreet was at Gordonsville on Tues
day last with additional forces to join the
Rabel army of invasion, and the purpose of
tli.t": army was an attempt to capture
Washington by surprise.
The Virginia Central Railroad is repaired
and running from Richmond to Staunton.
Moseby bas 2.100 men in his command,
and expects to have his force increased. .Ia
tbe fight at Aldie, Moseby capture 1 81 cav
alrymen, killed 20, captured a Mjor and a
12 pouud cannon. Kincbelloe's command,
one company, was operating near Fairfax

No casualties have been reported on our

Nkw York, July 10
On Sunday afternoon tbe steamer Elec
tric Spark, on a voyage from this port to
llavanoa and New Orleans, was bouded
! and taken posoesion of by the privateer
(Florida. When the Florida was first dis
i covered she was distant about 15 miles to
I the northward, and making for the Elec
tric Spark, which she gained on rapidly.
When seven or eight miles distant tbe
Florida hoisted the English flag which she
kept flying until within 1,200 yards of the
steamer when the Rebel colors were sub
stituted, and a shot fired astern of the Elec
tric Spark, closely followed by another
across the bow; the steamer not commiog
to immediately, a shell was fired, which, af
ter striking in tbe water a few feet from
the vessel, passed directly over her about
midship.
The steamer then hove to, and was im
mediately boarded by a party from the
Florida, who took possession of ber, and
ordered the captain on board the privateer,
Mith his papers. ilia personal property
was not destroyed or taken, but the steamer
with all the mails, contained iu 65 bags,
were retained.
The English schooner Lave had been
previously boarded by the Florida, aod was
near by at the time she captured the Elec
tric Spark. Both steamers soon hea led for
tbe schooner, which hove to until they

Tbe Electric Spark bad a very uarrow

make the Rebel Capital untenable within a

"We, the undersigned, have seen the good ef
fects produced by the use of Dr. John Bull's
Cedron Rittera in case of general debility and
prostration of the system, and believe its general
use would prevent disease and relieve much suf
fering. Among our soldiers particularly would
this be the case, especially those who are exposed
to miasmatic influences in the Southern climate.
