who was formerly engaged in his establishment,
was shot in the thigh by pistol ball, which,
though a very painful was not thought to be a
dangerous wound. These gentlemen were left
some seven or eight miles this side Of Paducoh,
where they viii receive every attention. A de
tachment of men win go after them to-day pre-
pared with means of conveying them to camp.
The whole party, with these exceptions, arrived
at camp last night having marched in the two
days fully one hundred and forty miles.
The bridge at Paducah has broken loose on
the Kentucky side and swung around on to the
Illinois shore, and the high stage Of water in the
Ohio makes it impossible that the Federals should
bring it back and secure it IN its former position
This cuts off their retreat, and the cry in camp
now is, Forward to Paducah -
The two prisoners captured were privates in
company I, 1st L. S. cavalry, one a German and
the other a resident of Maryland, who had been
FIVE years, lacking seven months, in the service,
and both of whom declare that they were not in
sympathy with tie Washington despodsm, but
were compelled 20 serve out their full term or de-
scTt Both Of them express their satisfaction
with the turn affairs have taken, as it relieves
them Of further service in a cause they detest.

ton OF health has made it impossible that ]

sole myself with the prospect of an early eOnyal-

General Cameron's order 10 the authorities Of
Iowa not to draft men for the army, as was pro-
posed in that State, is commented upon very
generally at the North. some taking sides with,
others against the order from the Secretary Of
War, Commenting on this subject, the Pitts
burg Post says:
It is certainly desirable that the army may be
filed up without drafting but it must be ac-
knOwledgcd that many Of the States, especially
those in the North, are slow in sending forward
reintorcements The Bull Run affair has been
repeated, and worse than repeated in its results,
in Missouri, and that too, solely on account Of
the mcagerness Of our army in that State; and
yet Fremont is called upon, and is actually send
ing troops forward to defend the capital, while
our eastern cities are tecming with unemployed,
able-bodied young men who refuse to come for
ward ID defense Of their country. This thing is
mystery to all classes here. The very State
whose representatives. in Congress were most
ready TO vote the President an army Of 100000
men, have not yet sent in their quota of men
for an army for even half that size Massachu-
sets is offering men $50 each bounty, and, with
that iuducement, Gen. Wilson's regiment is
filing up but slowly Vermont and other North
ern States are also backward in sending forward
men, and the indications are not at all favorable
for full army at an early day without a draft,
at least from some of the States.

DIRECT FROM YANKEEDON.-Two seamen
Of this place just arrived from New York city,
under Circumstances and through channels both
funny and interesting, but which il won't do to
tell, report that great activity IS manifested at
the nayy-yaTd in that city in getting ont new
gunboatsi intended for our inland waters. They
report that they We're in the yard about two or
three weeks ago, aud saw some. fifty or sixty
boats which were then launched, and would be
ready for action in a short time, and were told
by the 6goTkmen that they were for the exppdi-
ton to North Carolina. The boats are so con-
strueted as to carry about three hundred men.
and when fully loaded and equipped viii draw
from SIX to seven feet OF water. They are
heavily corked from the waters edge mn. and
covered with heavy iron to the top Of the
railing.
That those boats are being constructed admits
Of no doubt, but whether they are to come into
our waters or not, of course we don't know.
But when VIC consider that they are of the right
draught and that the naval officers there are
anxious to employ, Immediately, pilots acquaint-
ed with our sounds and rivers at salaries as high
as $50 per month, it may not be unwise in us
to prepare for an early visit from that quarter.

From the Rio Grande aud Mexico.


Many complaints are made by people residing
on the Rio G-ande, above Hidalgo, that their
cattle are stolen and run across into Mexico,
where II is impossible TO recover them. 1t is be-
Eeved that COrtiuas' thieves have a hand IN
these depredaGOns.
Capt. Parker is raising company for coast
service, TO be composed principally Of Alexicans,
who own property in Cameron county.
Capt. Nolau's company WAS mustered out Of
the Texas service ON the u lth, and was imnledi-
ately mustered into the Confederate army II
was stationed at Fort Brown, where it would re-
main until further orders.
H01UCDE.-SeTgeant James White, Of Capt
TumliHsOns company, was killed while asleep
IN his bed, by some unknown person at Ring
gold barracks, early on the morning of the 18th
ult. There was another person sleeping by the
side Of White, but the aSsallant escaped too
quick to be discovered by the awakened man.
The deceased IS represented to have been q des-
peTaje character, a regular New York shoulder
hitter, and his death was not much lamented by
his comrades. lie was formerly a stcvedore in

Matamoras Victoria is in danger from the insur-
rcctonsts in TamPico, and rice Uersa.
We have not heard Of any Interference on the
part Of Cen. Camyaial with the trade of The
country, though we have no doubt he win do II.
for il would be singular if he allowed the tariff TO
be collected IN MatamoTas by bis enemies. We
suppose he viii soon issue an cdict closing the
ports of Tampico and Matamoras or rather, that
he,yfI declare that tho duties paid in those two
places were paid to usTping rebels and subjects

Mexico is not TO confscate, however, for that is
a two-edged remedy, but both sides collect the
duties, whereby the particular article suffers all
the consequences Of the war. If it can pay two
tariffs, well aad good; if not then the last party
takes it to pay expenses.

Affairs in whoeIing--Arro.t Of Ladies.

Five refugees from Wheeling arrived in this
city on Saturday, by q cirCUitous routc for the
purpose Of joining the Schriver Grays Capt D.
VI. Schriver, stationed at Fairfax. The com
pany was formed at Wheeling on the commence
meut Of hostilities, and its organization was
effected under the most disadvantageous circum-
stances. Its ranks have, however, received
large accessions since its entrance into active
service, and it did noble duty in the recent bat
ties on Manassas plains. The gentlemen above
alluded to bring accounts from Wheeling which
prove that Pierpont is determined, if possible, to
emulate Lincoln in his shameless enormities.

who, perhaps imprudeutly, but none the less
nobly, have never concealed their sympathy for
the South. Miss Dunbar was one Of the earliest
spotted by the'Hessian detectives. She had
appeared upon the streets wearing a Secession
badge She was one of the foremost in Seces-
sion receptOns-but still one of the most modest
and amiable young ladies in Wheeling
She assisted in making the uniforms for tbe
Schriver Girays, and in the broad day smuggled
them into their rendezvous under the skirts of
her dress After the Grays lad slipped away,
other enterprises were begun; secret recruiting
was carried on, and the ladies-mothers and
daughters-inany in number assisted in every
way they could A few daysago three hundred
and ninety men were drilling in a sealed rendez-
vous, but a spy at length found his way into the
organization, and broke it up. Many members
escaped into Virginia by various routes, others
were compelled to remain for want of funds suf
ficient to pay the expenses Of prudentIy con-
Quoted escape, and from among them many were
arrested and forced to take the oath of allegiance
Then the arrest Of the ladies commenced, and is
doubtless still carried on with all the perseye-
