FORTRESS MONROE, August 10
The steamship Quaker CITY arrived
this morning with the prize schooner
George G.. Baker, of Galveston, and
her confederate crew of four men in
irons.
The schooner as captured by one
Of the United States blockading feet
off Galveston, and sent to New York,
with United States crew on board.
She was captured yesterday off Cape
Hatteras, by the rebel priyatcer York
who put four Of her owa men on
board. In the meanwhile, the York
was seen by the United States gun
boat Unlon, who gave chase and
burnt the privateer, but not until the
crew had beached her and escaped.
The Union then recaptured. the
Baker, made prisoners of her crew,
and transferred them to Gay to the
Quaker CITY. The United States
prize crew are still in the hands OF
the rebels, and their names are I'M
known.

Congress.

TUESDAY, Aug. 6-SENATE. Con
gress adjourned yesterday at noon, af-
ter closing up all the business which
called to transact, in the most com
plete and effective manner The Sen
ate spent considerable portion of
the time previous to the adjournment
in Executive session, acting upon APP
pointments and communications, sent
in by the President, who with several
members of the Cabinet was at the
Capitol, attending to the approval of
bills. All the important measures
which passed both Houses were ap-
proved of by him--the only one at
which he hesitated being the one pro-
viding for the confscation of rebel
property. Among the last bills pass
ed by the Senate was the one to pun
ish certain crimes against the United
States. Mr.. Powell of Kentucky,
offered a resolution relating to the i'm
prisonment of the Baltimore Police
Commissioners, but the Senate refus.
ed to consider it. The joint resola-
tion approving the acts of the Presi-
dent was not acted HpoR, bat goes
over to the regular session, for a mere
extended debate
HOUSE,. in the Hesse, ye.y little
business of Importance was done. A
resolution was adopted, calling apon
the President to coRmaaieats at the
next session copies of all correspon-
dence with foreign nations since 1853,
relative to maritime right. It was
stated yesterday that the bill to in
crease the pay of soldiers four dellars
per month had passed both Houses.
It seems that our core :pondent was
in error. The bill. as it came from
the Senate, showing an lacrosse of but
50, passed the House yesterday and
is now a law. This will make an
increase ia the expense Of the army of
at least $lO,OOO,OOO. The hour for
adjournment having arrived, the Pres
idsHt was waited upon BY a Commit
tee in the usual way, and through them
informed the House that he had no
further communication to make, where
upon the Speaker declared the House
adjourned sane die.

A New REGIMENT, TO BE ARMED

man citizens was held on THURSDAY
evening, the s6th instant, at Stadel-
berger's Hall, No 623 Eighth avenue,
for the purpose of taking energetic
steps to support eur government.
Mr. Adam Rosdiger bslRg called to
the chair, explained briefly the object
OF the meeting. He introduced Mr.,
Frederick Kapp, who delivered an oil.
oquent speech, and expressed the hope
that the people would respond nobly
to the call for more troops. He spoke
in favor of the proposition made by
Mr.. Roediger, to organize regiment
to be armed with Scythes. Such a
regiment would not cost much, and be
OF great service, if properly directed
They would be terror to the enemy s

lighting in the Polish revelation, and
no doubt there were plenty of men
here who could handle a scythe. A

Important from the Kanawha.

The Cincinnati Press Of Friday last
says that the steamboat Ida MAJ,
from Kanawha, arrived Tiers on
Thursday AFT ernoon. While stopping
at lronton, the clerk of the boat
learned from man named Barber,
who had just returned from Gauley
Bridge. that Colonel Tyler, at the
head of four regiments, attacked Gov
ernor Wise's command, and, after a
long and sanguinary contest, captured
his entire army.
Mr. Barber is represented by the
officers of the boat, who are well ac-
quainted with him, as perfectly relia-
bic. He says that he was in Cox's
camp on Saturday, and that while
there courier arrived with dispatch
from Col. Tyler, stating that he mad
captured Wise and his whole army,
but no: until fifteen hundred of the
rebels and five hundred of his own men
were either killed or wounded.
Wise had been intercepted about
forty miles from Ganley Bridge, at
which place the action is reported to
have occurred. 1t is said that the
rebels numbered about three thousand
five hundred men, and they were well
equipped.
Although we cannot affirm with
certainty that the rumor is true, yet
there are several circumstances which
render it highly probable. The To-
cality and time were both given with
accuracy, and by watching the move
ments of Col. Tyler and Gen. Wise,
we are led to believe that if they met
at all, it must have been at that place
and about that time.

A Valuable Relic.

Gov. Olden, Of New Jersey, receiv-
ed, on Monday, from the Department
Of State, at Washington, per express,
curiously-sh box, which, upon
opening, was found to contain the
original patent granted by George III
of England to VIM. Franklin, the first
Governor ofNew Jersey. 1t is writ
ten on three sheets Of parchment,
about two feet by two fe seven
inches in size, with the larger portion
of seal of solid wax attached, which
measures about six inches in diameter
by half inch thick. On each side OF
the seal are English devices. The
sentence of the patent reads as fol-
lows:
Witness ourself at Westminster,
the ninth day of September in the sec
ond year Of our reign"
AS George III commenced his reign
in the year 1850, this patent must
have been issued in 1862, and is con-
sequently about 100 years old.
| William Franklin, to whom the
patent was issued. was son of Benja-
min Franklin, but owing to his ad.
herence to the British cause, lie was
disowned and disinherited by his IA
ther, and after being driven from his
official position as Governor Of this
State, went to England, where he
died.

panied the gi t. explains itself:

JUST RETRIBUTIoN. At the Battle
of Rich Mountain, Va, the Hon.
John Hughes, of Beverly, member
of the Virginia Secession Convention
at Richmond, heard by some means
that our troops were endeavoring to
turn the flank of the rebels. He
mounted a horse and sped up the hill
rapidly, to carry the information to
Col. Pegram. When near the summit
he was hailed by pickets. Supposing
they were Federal piekets, he cried
out" Hold on, am Northern
man. . The next instant he fell into
the road corpse, riddled by thirty
balls. He had lied, and his own
friends put an end to his career.
