From an officer of ore of the steamers that ply con
itantly between the Nivy Yard and the mou'h of the
Potomac, l Warn some int-Tesliog facts in regaid to the
presen', condition ol atfiirt down the aver. The rebel
batteri. « on Ibe Virginia side, tbit are known to exi-t,
stre'eb, in an almost unbroken lice, from the mouth ol
the Ocoquan river to Mathias Point. Beyond this point
no bito. lies ate certainly known to east, though in a l
probwb I ty, they ex'end much further down. Tne mo-t
lurmidahic batlerii*, so fur a- ex peri'nos has made
tiiern k: own, are tl o-r »t the mouth ot Aquia Creek,
(which W! re iaid down oti the Herald map ot May 27.)
at Marlboroug «Point, at Cockpit Point, aHJuxntioo creek,
at Potomac creek, at a clump of trees bciw.-en Fouck's
Lardinc and Boyd’s Hole, and at Halloa- Point. Thre"
at Aquia Creek were described in ih - tlcrsld of May 27
They might have been taken and fi’enecd then with a
very mull foret; but they were u glecled, and the reb
els we:e allowed to strengthen them at their leisure. I>
will n)w require for their reduction a very stone force,
and, in any event, it* capture will bo attended with much
bkodshed. But every day that the attack on these
batteries is d-liyed the r.b-'n ito employed in strrrgih
eoitg them and in building others ; so that the longer

it will cost.
The order* given to the expedition which sailed down
the Potomac some days ago prohibited them from med
dling with at jthing on the right bit k of the stream, and
oontti.ed th'ir opera'iots to the Maryland slioro. But it
would eeeui tint if tbeir objeut w;s to clean out tbe rebels
on the left bank of tbe river they entirely failed in their
mission. Kv< ry night signal lights can b i seen gleaming
all along the shore, iron. Fort Washington down to Port
Tobaeco. If a United States s;cam'-r leaves the Navy
Yard ob a cruise down the rir -r these fights ar- displayed
in s particular manner as soon a* she pa-mrs Fort Wash
ington, and the signs! tha* m ide is l*k«c tip and repeated
all dong tb» I re d?wn :o Port Tobacco. Thrss signals,
as mad-, ate answered 1 y correspond.ng signs'* from the
Virginia side If ihe strainer flops, fires s gnu or tuns
back, this movement is indica'cd by sigral lights of a
different color, and this sign-.! Is repeated in the same
manner. It cannot be denied that tho object for which
these Po-nmac river batteries were erected has, up to thi
time, hecu acecmplishe *, namely, the provon inn of the
landing of any federal cipedition having Rchmond in
view Fortunately there are more roads loading to Rich
mond tvan one; aud in moving to R chtnor.d it will not
be ueemsary to go either by way of M-.nsssa* or by way
of the Pot-mac.
No ad- quote ides can bn formed, out o‘ Washington,
of the tremendous sersition that has been caused lure
by the pul licatlon of tho letter of tho Otar of Buraia.—
It is no! t to much to s ty that it is worth a battle gained
to ua Tue members ot the Cabinet aud ail the foreign

A highly important arrest came to light this afternoon,
which a ill probably involve the .near a ration of another
cllenderin Fort Lafayette. The individuil referred to
Ls Wm. H Winder, a son of Gen. Wm. H. W inder, of
tbe war of 1812, and a brother of Brigadier General
John U. Winder, now of the ieOi-1 army. Winder is a
man of fifty years of ug«, or thereabout, and ti ts been a
bicker and a speculator in this city for twenty years. He
was born in Baltimore, and has been from tne beginning
a warm friend of tbo South, unverthilew, bo bar, In com
mon with fcia biothers, dstived tnesni from the Fidcial •
Gorernmtn:, and built bento yi.irs ago a .'argu block
of buildings oa D.str.ef in Warhlngton, which were oc
cupied by Government for p miou un.l other purposes,
i believe that the Winder Buiidmsr, k> called, have since
been bought by tha Federal authorities. Ween the war
broke out there were whispered doubts ol Winder s l.y
atiiy, and some of the ueteotivis closely waichid he
moremcuU. He boarded nt the Wssbit giot} House, iu

pos.d them, some months ago, Winder refused to taku it ,
It wts shrewdy promised u ut he wa.i associated with a
brother In Wastungfoa, in correspondence sitli tbe other
brother, J .ho, iu arms«gains;fh • government. S milvr
and more direct hi* irnony, uot yet lips for pubhcat'OJ,

“conspi ing to b-eak up the goterutn nt of the United
.States.” Detectives Birtholomew, U uokburn and Frank
lie arrested him at uiuthat d Walnut street, in tbe K:
houses they made him strip, and, searching his
garments produced hta keys, same pipers, money, Ai.
Proceeding to his 10001, they overhauled s grcit quunity |
of correspondence and private letters, some 01 which j
are avid to contain grave mailers aud throw considerable '
light upon the dtsgns of the Southern leaders iu the
event of Mr. Liaoolu's election. They would nuku a j
pleasant aidvnio to the Hitchcock correspondence. The

ma-y pipers of his.orical and family interval, together
with deeds for a largo amount Ol proper y ia Washitg
too, Philadelphia and Hsltimore. Winder was locked up
for the rigid, and the papers and effects delivered over
to *be United Sta'ej lbs net Attorney. To-diy the same
were prepared fir testimony, but it is probable that he
will be given no pnbl’c healing. The prisoner's family

commanded the militia in 1814 at the di-astrous rout of
Uladansburg, and to his want of fortitude was imputed
the c.|>tur i and coi Hsgratsoii of the capital by Row and
Cockhurn. He had o cn previously taken pnsouir by
the British and eon8u"d at y leb-c. uader circmstacces
which wouid seem to sustain the imputation afterwards
vast upon him. The old nuu died at Baltimore, in 1824,
and was honored with a very imnosing public lumrai. '
John II. Winder, brother ai d corrr.p i.deot o' the
prisoner, entered West Point as a cadet, aud graduated

MORE FOREIGN OPINIONS—STRONG TALK.
Tiie toiiowing strong talk to the Linco ni.es about tho
war is ftoiu a Scotch paper, ire Ayr Advertiser, of tl e
22d ult. It looks upon the Federal* as but “but bullies
and towards,'' and call* it a wanton war :
The British people have contiibuted largely to its
population; ^o have the French; s> in especial have the
Gar tatis. It is knit to Europe by a thousand ties, not
only oi trarto and commerce, mu oi oioin ana aiuaren.
Tbousandu of European families are divided, one half
being in America, tbe other lull still iu Europe. Thau
.-in i« of husband.) arid brothers are iu America, parirg
the my by toil and travel for wivos, childrtn and sis
teas to follow them. Many bods are in America trying
! to esabli’h homes foreged parents. When war is sweep
I itg over America, a.id mat not an ordinary war, but a
I civil war of more than ordiuary no ivity — when
blood is flowing like water, and homesteads a-e
burLcd, the oommunitfvUons between K ;rop- aud all
parte of America should not only be kept studio i tly and
religiously open, but should l>u mullipled. To dec are
more thin two thief's of the whole American coast in a
state of blouktd i ia a high handed insolence, a wanton
cinstty, more hr firing barbarous savage- than Chtistian
s'atrsnton. It is a cruelty to which Mr. Lincoln cannot
t xpett that Europe will submit for any length of time.
War is war, and s b-ave aud humane warrior will always
be respected. But cruelty Is not war, nor is ft a legiti
mate method of carrying on war aud distressing an ene
my; and a cut I man is always bated, and a cruel policy
is always cxecratsd. lu the interests of humanity, of
wives, mothers, children, brothers. Bister-, we wish well
to any private ship thit sin evade the blockade; any
! cirsair or privateer that can brave it; any squadron,
I be it French or Eugli b" or both combined, that
will gafl aully aud resolutely break it There is a
1 just Ged over all, who pities tho poor, and htlpi the fee
ble and unprotected. Cruelty is never left unpunished,
i Couut Tilly's cruelty to Magdeburg ruiutd his army, and
arrested forever his v c orious progrfs'. A wanton war
against women.a tl children, agaiuet -ho best aud holiest
feelings nf cur nature, Is sure to demoral.x: a country,
1 an 1 para'jx t even the wisest and bc»t considered policy.
' Unless tho Federalists carry on tbe war in a more rascly
i and GbrUliui spirit, we may look for mure disasters and
o! a more di-gruoef'.l charater than that at Ball’s K in—
' or ratlter, if we may eugg-tst an amendment, Bail cs’
; Ban—for bully an t coward are two names for t'r.e samo
nuo, two aspects of the rame character. The bully is a
coward, and tho cowird it generally a bully, and cruelty
to women tad children, and pe-ce'ul and nooffendiug !
person* generally, is tho scad thit ge-rulnatoo sometime-,
as In the American vituperution of Greit Britaio, in bul
lyism ; sometime-, as iu iln wratohed exhibition at Bull's

Brt, it black.ting two-thirds of the coast is cruel find
tmfei l;ng towards ail who h ve relatives iu or relations
' with Am-rioa, it ia a most ubtriendly act in especial to
two friendly po»ers,vix: England and France. It Is
i no secret, no lunuis", no inference, bat a broad, paten',
and undenUbl i fact, a mx’ter known to the whole world,
that both franco and E gl ind depend for tbeir anppiv of

Iu niv estimate of last week 1 put it at $20,000; $50,000

or Ya dils, which they truly are, took up a position dvr
mile* above here, and went into a regular cautp, robbing
chickeu roosts and eorntb Ids for their provi-ions, and
imagined, judgiu; from their impudence, they would
slay there without moltslatiou, or even a show of tignt
from us But they were toon doomed to a signal and nit
t?r disappointment. At the time already referred to, 30
of the regular civalry. and, probably, 7i> citizens armed
wiih all kinds of ebnoting and catting instrumaata,
nitrebed out to meet tbe foe, who bad been variously
computed at from 40 to 100—all weil armed.
Tne charge ot tue Cavalry, under Orde-!y Sergeant
Straio, on the enemy, was a grand leal indeed. Twelve
cf their pickets were ahout half a milp from their Camp
and, almost before they knew wc were coming, we baa
them perfectly surrounded. Such locomotion, you never
witness'd. They ran iu every dir.-oiioc, but nothing

and were immediately on the roadside, prcbtbly not ten

surrounding them instantly, but, strange to toil, they all
escaped, bu-. on?, h&virg received a ti eh wound in the
thigh, Mr. floy, of the Rockbridge coiopmy. They then
pursued our men with ail possible sped even to the
house to which ho had bec i cirricd, but just as tbty got

They then returned, aud remained in the road but a few
hundred yards from where I now wri'e until lau iu tbc
evening, being evidently frustrated in their uitbclical
purpose of sacking Petersburg.
Seeing that we were disposed to givo them a Virginia
welcome, they, relishing no tuch.botpitali'.v, retreated
rapidly and were followed by many citizens, md ex
