Affairs ar Washington.


-tEnlys+ or DErEHTENs FROM I.Sc oLS'- CAN
SAD STATE or AFFAIRS At WA@gr--GToS ETC.--A
Fredericksburg correspondent furnishes the follow
ing, under date Of Monday last:
The town, unusually quiet, was thr0wn into a
Etrle " fcrmeAt" yesterday, by the arrival Of six
desertcfS from the tfaroaldi Legion, cf New York.
nOw stationed at Washington. Every one was, Of
coaF8e curious9 and wanted a wOr;!, and for
short time there was a considerable Jam and
squeeze After the first - puff had somewhat
blown over, learned with good deal Of difficulty
that they being French, aal scarcely able to un-
derst&Eti a word OF English, route to join
the New Orleans E0uaves, and had deserted on
"Wednesday morning, and wa:Sed all the way from
Washington to pcint on tie Maryland shore of
the Potomac. nearly opposite Matthias Point.
They report quite an Interesting state Of affairs
at Washington and adfuce it as aznong the reasons
which induced them to leave. They say that the
eTcnse of 1he Government for nos paying the SOL
diers-yiz., the absence Of pay-rCMs is all fudge,
ana that the Government has no means Of getting
any. As al evidence, they say that shoe mer-
chant, who lad furnished about $1,000 worth of
shoes to the soldiers presented his bill, and was
told that it impossible to pay it, the Treasury
being" almost entirely empty
They also throw some light on the iithert0 dark
question as to the number killed ir the fight at
Aqua Creek. They say that eight y-One dead bodies
were removed from the Frteborn at the Navy
Yard at W29!l.ng' Of them horribly
mang!ed. think this report may be relied on, as
lreCeiVCd a similar statement from Dr. Green, late
J
DR.. Green says that New 3ork wears the ap
pearance of the most quiet Sabbath, and that al!
business is II dead lock- He also says that
before leaving New York he learned that the Ta8
derbiit WAS ABOUT to transport tie Wilson Lpuaves
10 some point South, the precise destination he
could not learn.
Marylanders arrive in small sqEads almost every
Gay, ami receive hearty welcome from every
ONE.
NAVAL EAVCAG GElIENT- Gallant and DQTtnq Chase
Of Fptle'ai >t9anleT-On Sunday evening, about
| Z o'clock, while the Confederate steamer Empire
was engaged in accommodating the enemy's works
at -yewpOrt's News Capt. Parrish discovered the
Federal steamer Cnta!ine, some distance off and
under headway io.' Gid Point. Chase was imne-
diately given, and when within d few miles OF
Hampton Creek, the Empire fired two shots, one
| Of which is believed to have taken effect on the
! Catalne-a and but for the proximity of the Cum
| beranl irigate, which promptly opened her bat
| terry to stop the chase the Catalne would in all
| probability have fallen into our hands.
Capt. Parrish and his officers deserve much praise
for their daring conduct in this little affair, DO
also several of the Richmond Greys who were on
board the Empire as a marine guard. It is hoped
| that Capt. Parrish may be better prepared for
offensive operations, by having larger and more
effective steamer placed under his control.
