WAsHNGToN. May 20.-The U. s. trans

rect from Fort Monroe, bringing dispatches to
the Government. On the way up she captured
,7Fo small vessels, and brought them to the
Washing on Navy Yard. A passenger on the
Freeborn state that on Saturday two vessels
from the feet paid q visit to the vicinity of
SewaIl's Point, abont four miles from the For
tress where the Virgipians we're erecting bat
tteries, and threw sundry shells at the works,
spoDg materially the architectural arrange
ments. Shots were fred at the vessels, but
without effect. 1t was not known whether any
one on shore was injured. Com. Pendergrast
sent flag Of truce to Norfolk, with view to
make arrangements for the transportation
thence OF csitsin persons to the North, and re-
celved assurance that in this respect he should
be accommodated. A vessel was in waiting: 70
take them TO New York. Some excitemeit
was oceasioned to-day by the report Of fight
at the mouth OF the Potomic between Fedef-
al coast guari steamer and an armed propsilor
from Richmond, resulting, it il SAID, In the kill-
ing Of four and the wounding Of five, on the Or
mer. The truth OF the story being doubted,
| the Navy Department. this evening, psde spo-
oiac enquiries in the proper quarters, and ID
satisfied that the ruinor Is entirely unfounded.

Volunteers. st.
The Philadelphia Bulletin says with perth
nence and .orce:
There are some points TO which eivilians,
not trained to, war, do not sufficiently look,
when summoned to command. They look too
much 30 direct fighting, and not enough I'd
those incidents which are quite as important as
the fighting itself
One point, of vast importance, is the conai.
missariat. The necessity in war, is that the
men be fed They should not only have suf-
fclent food, but it should be the right kind Of
food and wholesome in quality. Obvious "a
this seems to trained soldier, there is nothing
which militia colonel is so apt to neglect. >
The rext thing is the Quartermastcr's de-
parment. Troops must be sheltered. Yeta
man, who would never think Of taking q single
amily INTO any locality without arranging ior d
roof over their heads, will march regiment into
a position, without an inquiry as to whether he
can shelter their heads from the rain or cold.
Another point in which our volunteer cosos
nels greatly fail in discipline Nothing amases
a trained officer more than the look of some of
our volunteer camps. The man are allowedto
I've dirty, because there is no proper Inspection.
There is no Gordon Of sentinels completely ens
circling the camp, as there ought to be; for
seDliitei at SIiiefe poiI1 10 ihVtc dAuiHEs 4EV'
pie are allowed in far too great numbers to
crowd into the encampment, and in some Of
them we hear that women o; all sorts traverse
the ents early and late. Soldiers, too, with
scarce restriction, are allowed to leave the en-
campment, and get into all kinds Of mischief
The sooner this matter is looked 10 the bet
ter. II not attended TO at once, the result will
be filth. disease, decentralization aed all manner
o confusion. The very essence and idea ofan
army is command and subordination, and the
sooner every thing is put on the right footing,
the less there will be to regret and TO nnlearn.
We are engaged in no child's play. This war
may be the work, not only OF months, but of
years. Our soldiers will obey, if their colonies
are only firm and consistent. Without discip-
line ar army Is a pandemonium.

Tho Duty of Domoorats.


Tho Democratic party owe no grqi-
tudo TO the misorcants now in rebel
lion. The wretch who, under the guise
Of Democratic paper or Democratic
platform, nies out for forboarance to-
ward "our brethren of the South" is not
Ia Democrat, but mere tool of the enc
my. There is no brotherhood between
the Democracy of the North and the
men now in rebellion The ties Of
brotherhood have long since been sew
erod. The only allies, the only men at
the North who can be claimed by the
rebels as brethren, are Garrisons and
Phillipsos. Between the two there is
an irropressiblo sympathy. Both hate
the Constitution; both seek to destroy
it, and between both and the Dcmocra-
oy there is a gulf SO deep that no hu-
man science can invent q bridge strong
enough TO enable a union Of their mem p
bers. One year ago "our brethren at tho
South unmasked themselves at Charles
tou. For twonty years the Democrats
Of the North had been beasts of burden
under their Southern brethren;" they
had walked on foot while the gentlemen
Of the South rode; they had carried up
on their shoulders the baggage and the
camp cqupage, and thoy had done all
that their Southern brethren had
asked Of them. At Charleston they
we're required to become menials, to be-
come body and soul slaves Of the Yam
ceys, Rhetts md Slidells. They re-
fused To their eternal honor be it
said, they declared themselves freemon,
and that they would be pack-horses no
longer. In the city Of Charleston in sight
of Sumter, they refused to be degraded,
and insisted upon their freedom How
we're they throatenod2 Did fraternal
affection, or the memory Of long years
of devotion soften the hearts Of their
I"Southern brethren2" Not so. State
after State secoded from the Couven-
ton, and the election Of lincoln was
then determined upon by the Southern
traitors, and the determination was made
good.

On the day of our arrival, one of the

the streets past a house where two Sc
cession beauties were iu the window,
when one Of them shook her 6st SO
spitefully at him as to attract his atten-

took the Major to the selfsame house

was riding along the street, when one
ofthe ''stTong- minded ladies, raining
from the sidewalks With extended hand,
he very politely reined up his charger

out on him: "What business have you
