morning about O'Clock, by the Raml-
lies "a, the friga,es Maidstone and Loire.
and brig of war in company. Com.
Hardy detained the smack about an hour
and an half, and told the captain not to
attempt to go out again, as he had made
up his mind to destroy all the smacks
and other small craft that he fell in with,
until he could be satisfied of the cause
of the explosion of the schooner Eagle.
The captain of this smack understood,
from Capt. H that he lost 9 men IN the
explosion of the Eagle.

A letter to Gentleman of this City, from
Hampton OF the Sd Inst. gives a statement
OF an dffCMff of the enemy to land on the

PETERSBURG, June A.
OUR VOLUNTEERS.


We have received letters from cur volun-
teers to the Goth ult. Three more of that
gallant and intrepid band, have died of the
wounds received during the siege of Fort
1Ieigs-Georgc L. Cleugh, Nicholas Mas
senburg, and George Booker. While we
deplore their exit, & sympathise with their
immediate friends on the irreparable loss
they have sustained, we rejoice that they
fell pohly-like men-contending for their
immutable rights-for honor--for liberty
I die in the cause of our country, is honor
abte-is glorious; and though we deeply
feel the loss society has sustained, We find
sweet consolation in the reflection that they
have hot lived useiessIy.
1t appears from the letters we have seen,
that only 81 of our Volunteers were in the
sortie of the STU, the remainder being either
a ttached to the big guns in the fort, or con-
fined by indispositioa-and of the number
engaged, one third were wounded.
From a statement kept by one of our Vo-
lunteers, who was appointed for that pur-
pose, 1T appears, that there were 1902
bombs and Cannon balls discharged at the
Fore. whica sustained very little injury. and
that our loss in killed, within the fortihca-
iions, did not exceed twelve.
Gen. Harrison has requested sergeant
Henderson, To aoSeps A commission in the
artillery, in consideration OF the skill dis
played and services performed by that me-
ritorious soldier during the siege of fort
Meigs--The general has signified his wish
TO the proper authority.
The Volunteers Continued in high spirits,
promising themselvec much amusement
when they returned COL. Proctor's civility.
After mentioning those VINO had died of
their wounds. & letter. from one OF the off
GERS states, that the others who were wound
ed were in state bf convaiescence, and It
was hoped in few days woulo be able to
do ordinary duty.
From the same letter, We have derived
the following information: -'"a
1--WE have hal no news of the enemy
since they left Us, bat we are under an i'm
preston they are at Maiden. making pre-
parations to receiveu Us in becoming man
ner. Gen. Harrison is now in the settle
ment. and it is supposed viii not return till
the middle of next month Ounce at which
time we are induced to believe we shall have
force able to rerel the most formidable
army that can be raised in Upper Canada
The calculation is, that we shall set out for
Maiden i'll all next month June )"

often candidates for popular favor, all pre-
scented formidable difficulties to the estab-
lishment of discipline. General Taylor then
commanded, aud his bold and comPrehea
sive genius quickly suggested plan, which
having been tried, has succeeded TO his
most sauguinc expectations, and has Clam
ed the ADMIRATION of all aud none more
than General Hampton, who noticed it in
General Orders upon his first arrival in
terms equally honorable to his own candor
aud to the talents of the Brigadier.
Upon the arrival of the militia from the
various parts of the state, General Taylor
formed them into regiments. and the cap
tans drew for their privates. thus 1T hap
pened that a regiment was commanded by
field officers who had no acquaintance with
the officers & men under them. A company
would be composed of men from perhaps
ten different counties, not more han three
or four of which, had ever seen or heard ct
the captain and subalterns.. A plan So navel,
wasiikely to meet some opposition, and it
did so, in one instance only but so slight
was the opposition, and SO perfectly and
cheerfully has il been since aCquiesced IN,
that it is as much forgotten in effect as il il
had never existed.
We read in the papers of disorjeislT con-
duct in the militia, but we have nos.,ihg like
it here, and officers ofthe resrilararmy have
declared, that the police and order in this
camp. is not surpassed by that of the regu-
lar army. We are acquainted with a num-
Der of the officers. aid are frequently in

in knowledge of their profession and in the
