The New York Tribune, which frst pub
lished the report that John II. Bolts had
arrived in Washington TO claim seat in
Congress, on the strength Ofhaving received
some 200 votes in the Richmond district,
admits that it was humbugged. Bolts has
net been 10 Washington. 1t appears. how.
ever, by advices received by the last Pony,
that several members have been admitted to
seats from Western Virginia, East Tennes-
see, and from one or two districts in North
Carolina. The Legislature of Western Vir-
ginia, in session at last accounts at Wheel
ing, will undoubtedly elect two Senators to
represent that State.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY IS, 1861.

IT appears by late Pony accounts that
the evacuation of Harper's Ferry by the
rebel troops was not retreat, as was gen
orally supposed. They started in the direS-
ton of Manassas Junction, but afterwards
changed their course to the northward, and
at latest dates we're occupying position
about ten miles from Martinsburg They
ate reported to number from $4,000 to 20
900, aud are commanded by Gen. johnson.
Gen. Patterson was at Martinsburg on the
5th OF July, with force Of some 10000
Government troops, and news of battle
vas hourly expected. There was a report
that "brush" had occurred near Martins
burg on the 9Th, iu which the rebels were
routed with heavy lOss bat as no particu.
lars are given the rumOr may be untrue.
From the positions occupied by the two ar
mics, we should not be surprised If the next
Pony brought Intelligence of general bat
tie, in which from $4,000 to 10000 men
were engaged.

LINE PONT.-The jury empanneled to
assess the value of / 300 acres Of land, re-
quired by the Government upon which to
erect a fort at Lime Point, have fixed the
value at $125, 900. The verdict will be sent
on to Washington, aud il the Government
Is satisfied with the price, the land will be
condemned and paid for. Mr.. ThrOckmor.
ton, the owner of the tract, ia said TO be dis
satisfied with the appraisal, and as the bar
Dor is already toIerabIy well protected, the
Government will probably allow him to re-
tain his land. The Bulletin, Of Monday
last, publishes the testimony taken as to the
value of the tract, from which it is evident
that the assessed value Is exOrbitant. II
appears, according to the testimony of wit
nesses sworn 10 behalf of the Government,
that from One-quarter to One-third Of the
tract is arabic land, the remainder being
adapted to grazing purposes. The value OF
the tillable land was variOusly estimated at
from $50 to $35 per acre, and the grazing
land at from 81 to $12. The average of
the testimony would make the tract worth
about $4,000 for agricultural and grazing
purposes. But Mr.. Throckmorton's wit
nesses made extravagant estimates as to its
value for commercial purposes, and the jury
we're undoubtedly governed in great
measure by this testimony in making up
their verdict.

FORCED ENLISTMENTs.-In the letter OF
Mr.. Russell, the correspondent Of the Lon.
don Times, dated at New Orleans. May 25th
occurs the following paragraph:
EnQlishmen, however, win be a little sur
prised to hear that within few days British
subjects living in New Orleans have been seized,
knocked down, carried off from their labor at
the wharf and the workshop, and forced BY vlo-
lence to serve in the volunteer ranks! These
cases are not isolated. They are not in twos
and threes, but in tens and twenties; they have
not occurred stealthily or in by-ways; they have
taken place in the open day and in the streets
of New Orleans. These men have been dragged
along like feons, protesting in vain that they
were British subjects. Fortunately, their friends
bethought them that there was still a British
Consul in the city, who would protect his coun-
trymen-English, Irish or Scotch. Mr.. Mure,
when he heard Of the reports and of the evI-
dence, made energetic representations to the
authorities, who, after some evasion, gave or
ders that the impressed volunteers should be
discharged, and the Tiger Rifles and other
companies we're deprived of thirty-6ve British
subjects whom they had taken from their usual
ayocatiOns.

The EUROPEAN GovERNMENTs.-A Wash
ingtOn dispatch, of July 5tb, says, In rela-
tion to the attitude of European Govern
ments:
The European dispatches, it is understood,
show an improved disposition on the part OF
England. From France, the Moniteur article
which affords SO much joy to SecessiOnists, has
been explained away to the satisfaction Of Sec
retary Seward. The most hearty and sincere
expressions Of sympathy with the United
States, in the present contest, is furnished to
the Government. No privateers will be permit
ted to enter any foreign ports. From foreign
ports there is rejoicing in official quarters, that
Secession is dead and buried in Europe.

The SOUTHERN NAvY.-Mr. Russell, in bis
letter to the London Times, from Savannah,
Ga, Alluding to the strange infatuatiOn
which induced Com. Tatnall to abandon an
honorable position in the United States

Southern traitors, says:

FIRE INSURANCE CAsE.-An insurance
case of considerable interest was tried in
the Tuolumne District Court on the 10th
and. llth inst. S. Leavick Il Co. bad insur-
ed their stock of goods, at Big Oak Flat,
with three different companies, in the total
amount of $1,000. The stock was destroy
ed by fire 10 December 1860, aud the insur-
ance companies refused TO pay on the
ground that Leavick d Co. had set fire to
their own store. The case was tried before
jury composed Of the best men of the
county, who found verdict for the defend
ants, sustaining their refusal to pay the
loss. There was no positive evidence that
the plaintiffs had set fire to their store, but
q mass of suspicious circumstances were de-
tailed by witnesses, tending to show that
they he'd deliberately attempted TO sell q
small stock of goods to the insurance CON-
pSnies for large price.

THE WATERS OVER FORT MoULTRIB.-The
Charleston Mercury Of recent date says: AS
the site Of the old Fort Moultrie, of the revolu-
ton, is now covered by the waters of the ocean,
so does that part of Morris Island, where our
batteries were planted against Sumter, seem
destined to be washed away. The encroach-
ments of the sea have lately been greater than
at any previous period, and Cummings Point
will. II they continue, soon cease to be. Some
of the works which it was not deemed neces-
sary to level, and which we had supposed might
remain for years, evidences Of the industry Of
our troops, have melted away. The tents even
of some Of our troops now guarding the chan
mel batteries were washed down, and the camp
had to be removed. What the effect will be
upon our harbor, should this island wash away,
we cannot say"

which occurred between two Cinnamon at
La Porte on the 9Th inst
Whang Bang and Bang Whang it seems had
a dispute about the price Of chicken. An an
imated discussion ensued which drew a crowd
sufficiently large to eclipse any ordinary dog
fight, after which actual engagement COM
menced. One dealt the other a severe blow on
the arm with butchers cleaver, when the in
strument fell from his grasp and he was obliged
to run. The wounded man (more properly
Lrute) pursued brandishing huge dirk, his
face writhing with the most intense anger we
ever saw depicted in anything mortal. He sue
ceeded in cutting severe cash in the rear Of
his antagonist, just as the latter was springing
from the back door of Van Camp & Seeley's
butcher shop. The poor pest was returned on
a litter. The wound was not serious.

proclamation in the Memphis Bulletin, which
recalls the order that whisky and tobacco be
distributed with the ratiOns. He says he gave
the order on his own responsibility, suppOsing
the Military Board would allow it, knowing that
the soldiers were gentlemen, and used to plenty
