LONDON GAZETTE—This Evening,

ing out.
By Colonel Pipon—These were the orders when I
mounted guard. On the 28th of April I received fresh
orders. On the morning of the 28th Sergeant Major
Cotton brought a fresh order to the guard room. I cannot
state the order, it was written; it was to the effect that the
sentry was to be placed in Sergeant Major Lilley's bunga-
low in his quarters. 1 accordingly placed the sentry inside
the bungalow myself.
What were the orders on the 21st of May P—Between the
28th of April and the 21st of May the sergeant major had
been shifted into different quarters. The orders were simi-
lar to those given in regard to the former bungalow, only
that Sergeant Major Lilley had permission to sleep in the
verandah.
Witness continued—On the 28th of April he posted the
sentry in the little room, No. 4. In the second bungalow
the sentry was posted in the verandah, and the sergeant
major slept under the window of the small room, No. 2.
He always considered Sergeant Major Lille—
, a steady, sober)
upright man.

sen-
tries had orders no t to lose sight of the prisoner except
when he went into Mrs. Lilley's bedroom. According to
the orders he received he thought No. 4 was the proper
room for the sentries. He did not see the sentry when he
placed the sentry over him at night. The door was shut
and the sentry wished to be certified that the sergeant major
was there. Witness then called to the sergeant major who
answered him, and he told the sentry that he was there.
It was the room on the right of No. 2 (pointing to the mo-
del) that the voice, came from. No complaints were ever
made to him by Sergeant Major or Mrs. Lilley.
Corporal James Barry, of the 6th Dragoons, said he had

He was on duty twice during the arrest, on both occasions

T. .BE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA,

(From the correspondent of the Times)
NEW YORK, Nov. 17.
W e have had a gloomy and wet spell here these last
four of five days, and this may, perhaps, have
damped the ardour of the combatants who are
paddling about in the chalky mud of Virginia.
General Meade has been in Washington, and
some of his subaltern officers with him. He
bas, however, declined to attend the inaugura-
tion of the Gettysburg monument, a solemnity
in which he was entitled to head the pageant.
The position of the Southern army on the Rapi-
dan is said to be formidable, though two divisions
of Gen. Hill's corps are supposed to have marched
southward or westward. The knowing ones are
are quite confident there will be a " general deci-
sive battle" before the end of this week. Another
" dricisive and bloody " battle is expected to come
off in Tennessee. Gen. Bragg is bombarding the
Feiderals from the heights of Look-out Mountain,
and the ground in his rear, for many miles, swarms
with reinforcements conveyed to him by the -Western
and Atlantic Railway. Battles, if they occur, must
be of the Confederates' own seeking, for their posi-
tions in the mountain gorges are not of a nature to
invite the Federals' attacks. The weather, how-
ever, must have its share in military operations, and
if the rains set in the South as they have done here,
the probability is the bloodthirsty warriors will
stick in the mud till winter cools their blood. Burn-
side, always in difficulty, seems disposed to wash
his hands of his tough job in East Tennessee.
The rumour that he has resigned his command, and
that Foster is to take his place, bringing one or
more of his divisions with him, appears almost daily
in the papers to fill a paragraph in the morning, and
to make room for another paragraph, contradicting
the first, in the evening. At Charleston w e have
firing at the rate of two shots in the minute at
night, and three or four in the daylight. Results—
after 21 hours, two men killed and one wounded,
Artillery has done its very worst against Sumter,
and what remains of it is invulnerable, " The fort
cannot be injured any further," says the bulletin.
Nothing is to be done but let it alone.
From Texas we hear that General Banks, at the
head of his long-projected expedition, has landed
at the mouth of Rio Grande; that Fort Brown and
Br:ownsville—the latter on fire, and with the Union
and Secession parties fighting in the streets—have
fallen into his hands. The presence of a Federal
army in that region, it is expected, will put an end
to the brisk contraband trade, and cut off one of
the most plentiful sources of supplies on which the
Southerns relied. It will also have the effect of a
grand demonstrations against the French in Mexico;
it will reassure Juarez's" loyalists," and awe Maxi-
milian and all contemners of the Monroe doctrine.
The grumblers here, however, complain that Banks
and his forces, instead of wasting their energies on
Rio Grande, would be better employed nearer home
against Lee's " demoralised" troops and Bragg's
"discordant and dissolving" army.
The " labour movement," as the contest between
operatives and their employers is here designated,
being in fact a labour stoppage, is going through its
natural phases, and will for the present have no
serious consequences. As it was but too easy to
foresee, labour carried the day everywhere, for its
demands were just and moderate. Henceforth, it
may be taken for granted, in every branch of in-
dustry wages will be raised 25 per cent. above the
present rates. The ear-drivers in New York re-
turned to their work on Saturday last, the direc-
tors of the several railway companies having " made
a satisfactory compromise"—i.e., granted all they
were asked. The working men of the United States'
navy yards in Charlestown, near Boston, have also
obtained their own terms, and, upon the same 1111.-
clerstanding, there is no doubt but the excitemient
arising from the strikes will gradually, tho,:4gb per-
haps only temporarily, subside. " Labo az" will go
on, and the " movement" will be brought to a stand.
still.

The industrious classes in '...hese North-Eastern
States had attained a well--oeing fully commensu-
rate with their deserts, with their thrift and so-
briety, and with the education extensively spread
among them. If there ever was a country in
'which labour was in clover, in which it was
looked up to, petted and humoured, it certainly was
this North American community ; not so much
owing, perhaps, as the Americans fondly believe, to
the protection of their glorious Democratic institu-
tions as to the great fact that this country had plenty
of elbow room for all, men, and that those who at
any time felt crow:led and distressed in the cities of
the East would edways find wealth and ease in the
backwoods of the West. Labour was scarce hero at
all times, and. us such it was, of course, precious,
independent, fastidious. The rougher kind of handi-
craft, via even domestic service, was shunned by
the native American, and would long since have
come to an end had it not been for the raw ma-
texial periodically imported out of the redundant
population of suffering Europe. Democratic re-
publics must needs have slaves to do their hard and
dirty work. In the South the Virginian had negroes.
In the North the New Englander had the Irish, the
German, the beasts of burden of the old world.
Even the condition of the immigrant was anything
but deplorable, as soon as he knew how to bring
1'45 labour to the best market. Whoever condo-
"e_ended to work in America was sure not only of
'l daily bread, but also of a certain amount of
decent comfort • and the very hedger and ditcher

the waste of a ruinous war, and the use and
l
abuse of an all-flooding paper currency. The evil
was not very grievously felt at the outset, because
the gaps made among the already and always thin
ranks of the labourers by the recruiting of the army
had the effect of lessening competition, and, by in-
creasing the demand for it, of setting a higher value
upon labour. In all the common trades, in the shops,
and in domestic service, where the workman came
into immediate and constant contact with his em-
ployer, things had maintained their own level, and
wages had silently but incessantly been raised, so
as
soto keep
pace with the growing price of provi-
. But in great factories, in large workshops,
and public establishments, capital took no heed
e
of the siga, of the times, and'
labour was ground
down to the
sutmoste extent of its power of en-
durance. The has no wbeen put upon capital
by this general Strike,
and the pressure has been
instantly and cheerfully obeyed. All may be ar-
ranged, and things may go
well for the present ; but
mutual understanding between labour and
the
capital will hardly last for any length of time—so
long, at least, 28 the causes which led to the present
crisis continue to act on the
ity ; for, in
the first place, when you raise wages Bin order to
enable labour to bear the burden of high prices, you
also cause a further rise in prices, for the raised
wages of labour, as a matter of course, enhance
the cost of the commodities which are the product
