VEssELs TO BE sunk IN SOUTHERN HARBoRs
The following statement appears in the Bsti


The following statement appears in the Balt.
more Exchange of Thursday:
ave published yesterday, as current report,
that government agent was in this city buying
up all the old schoopers, oyster boats, and small
vessels OF similar class, for the purpose Of TAX
ing them South and sinking them in the mouths
of rivers and inlets, with a view to effectually
obstruct their navigation by commercial vessels
and privateers. Subsequent inquiry enables
US to state that the report 10 fully confirmed
that a large number Of such vessles have been
purchased; that others have been seized and
carried of by the naval fotila that has been
| cruising for some time past among the creeks
and inlets of the Bay shore that twenty or
more of these vessels we're loading with stone
| Wit lin a day or two at Port Despost, and that
others have followed, or are about to follow, to
be freighted in q similar manner. 1t is also
known that steam tugs have been bought, which
will be employed in towing these vessles to theiI
| respective places of destination, and that seve
| raj of the merchant aud passenger steamers be-
longing to the Bay lines, have each been 6ttet
with a mast for some purpose, probably connec
ted With the expedition. It 10 surnised that 1
portion of the vessels to be sunk are to be tsker
to the coast of North Carolina, and that other
are intended to be used in obstruetng the tribu
| taries to our own Bay."

The RETREAT OF THE REBELs.-It is stated
that the retrograde movement Of the rebels at
Fairfax was q night stampede. Two large
scouting parties, installing each other in the
dark for the Federal enemy, mutually attacked
each other. Their fire was sharp. their mutual
retreat sharper, and each gave to the main body
the alarm that Mcclellan was upon them in full
force. A retreat was Immediately ordered from
Vienna and the Court House. to a defensible
point two miles in the rear. and was conducted

We clip the following from the Editorial col
umns of the Detroit Adveytiser:

We clip the following from the Editorial col
umns of the Detroit Advertiser:
For weeks past, q large portion of the North
ern press, R, publican az we'll as Democratic, ha.
teemed with charges Of the grossest character
| against Secretary Cameron. He has been sc
cused Of all sorts of frauds and corruption. We
have given little heed to these accusations, be-
cause they have generally been preferred by
those who have been disappointed in securing
contracts, and confined 10 vague generalaties. -
Still. We have thought it possible that there
might be some foundation for them, for Mr.. Cam.
eron's antecedents are not such as to render him
entirely free from corrupt influences. But Al
nothing has yet been fastened upon him, We are
not disposed to unite in the clsmor against him
We are even disposed to give him the benefit Of
whatever evidence We may come across in favor
of his integrity, little as We care personally about
him or any other of the Cabinet officers.
The Chicago Journal of SatuI day contains q
letter from Washington, written by w. A. Haw
lev, Eco, formerly connected with that paper,
which fatty contradicts these charges, on the
authority OF Senator Wilson aud Secretary Chase
Gen. Wilson 10 chairman of the committee on
Military Affairs. He declares that after a care
| ful scrutiny Of the War Department he has sat
isfed himself shat there is no foundation for the
hippant allegations against Gen. Cameron. lie
also declares his belief that they have been made
BY those who have failed to get rich contract:
out Of the Government. Mr.. Hawley further
states that he has obtained UNREASONABLE auth
ority for saying that Secretary Chase, whose
lynx-eyed keenness in scenting out everything
| which smacks of fraud in the conduct of the
Government is proverbal. concurs in Genera
Wilson's opinion of Secretary Cameron. Such
testimony ought to have some weight with the
public, and men should cease to believe these
stories of those who wish to prey upon the Gov
eminent in the time Of its peril. II they hav.
charges to prefer against officers of the Govern
mcnt. let them substan,iate their allegation by
proof, or be moro cautious in preferring them.
