DR.. ]. NJ. Christian aud Thomas Holder

brought to this city for being implicated in
the order of Knights of the Golden Circle
in that county. They are members of the
same castle of which Court, who was ar
rested two days before, was an officer. Hod-

which has been strong in opposition to the
war policy Of the Government. A long let
ter from Judge H. ]. Jewett upon the times
and the war, and which we commented up

These men erelodged in Jail for safe keep

so that they can keep "castle" in running

Washington, October 9th.-C Commander
Chauneey arrived here this evening from
Hatteras Inlet He reports that on Mon
day the rebels organized an expedition to
attack and re-capture the forts occupied by
our forcee The expedition consisted Of
six steamboats, and about 5000 meu. The
steamers we're armed with heavy rifed can
non aud mortars for throwing shells. The
attack was simultaneous, but eifectual.--
The forts fred shell and were assisted By
the vessels strtIoned of the Inlet. After a
while the rsbeis retired, though not before
two or three steamers had been sunk, going
down with all on board. Judging from tbe
crowded appearances Of the vessels, II Is es-
timated that about 700 men were drown.
cd, besides large loss must have been
sasiAined from the bursting Of our shell and
the pinnging Of our shot, as the guns were
served 10 a most mastery manner.

PIuekY Kansas.

This young State seems to be like Kill
kenny cat, all fight. She has furnished
complete or nearly full, nine regiments fol
the war, besides turning out thirty day men
when an emergency required; and every
able-bodied man in the State is said to be
undergoing drill, and ready f5r fight
Kansas has somo old scores with the Bor-
der Rufians Of Missouri to pay off, the ac-
cumulation of which trained her men for
fighting, and the recollection of which
doubtless gives keen edge to their patriot
ism. The Missouri Secessionists are the
same breed that furnished the Border Ruff
fans therefore the retributive justice can
hardly go amiss among them.

A PatrIotIc Voiee From switzerInnd.

A letter from the ex-Presideut Of the
Republic of Switzerland, who is now a
member of tho Federal Council, says:
"We watch here with great solicitude the
progress ofthe Secession war (Sonderbunds-
krieg)--a war which if not successfully
checked by the patriots of the South, may
assume a most formidable aspect. 1t IS
true that the array with which the North
confronts Secession may appear imposing,
even 10 the South. Nevertheless, when the
avalanche is once fairly in motion, it is too
late TO frustrate its formation, and gathering,
inits devastating course, to vast proportions,
it sweeps resistlessly onward, regardless Of
every obstacIa, until striking some mountain
wall Of rock (felsenward), il is dashed into
fragments, and rendered harmless to many
a peaceful and happy valley home upon
which it would have otherwise brought ruin
and misery. May God, the Almighty, pro-

the rebels was great and number Of Off
GERS were killed.
When the Monticello ceased firing the
rebels scattered for four miles along the
beach. Six rebel steamers were at one
time off the point. Their shot fell short.
AT six this morning Division Of Gen,
Smith at Chain Bridge advanced and took
position near townsville. After waiting
three hours inviting an attack, our skirmish-

sharp right Near Cheat mountain.


The Ohio and Indiana volunteers have
won new laurels in Western Virginia, On
Thursday morning, at very early hour,
Gen. Reynolds set out with strong force
from his camp on the summit of Cheat
Mountain, to reconuoiier the rebel position
on Greenbrier river, about twelve miles dis
tant, under command Of Gen. Anderson and
Colonels Tolye, jackson and Johnson
The following were the troops of which the
expedition was composed: Tho Ohio Twen-
ty-fourth, Col. Ammon of Ripley; the
Twenty. fifth, Col. Jones Of Norwalk; the
Thirty second, COL T. II. Ford of Mansfield.
The Indianians were selected from the
Seventh Regiment, Col. Dumont; Ninth,
Col. Milroy; Thirteenth, Col. Sullivan I;
Fourteenth, Col. Kimball; Fifteenth, Col.
Wagner; and the Seventeenth, Col. Has
call. There were also detachments Of Rob
inson's Pennsylvania Cavalry and Howe's
U. S., Loomis' Michigan and Dum's Vir-
giuia ARTILLERY. The entire body numbered
5000 men. To prevent flank movement
on the part of the rebels, Fords regiment
was sent in advance.
Arriving in front of the intrenchments
about eight o'clock, tho pickcts were soon
driven in. LOOMS Battery gained a good
position by the assistance of tho Fourteenth
and Seventeenth Indiana regiments, while
the Ohio Twenty-fourth did valuable work
as skirmishers. The first discharge Of ar
tillery was replied to By the enemy in am
bush, who were soon cleared out, however,
by the Indiana Fourteenth. Seven of the
rebels were killed, and quite number
wounded and captured. Howe's battery
supported by the Thirteenth Indiana, then
came up, taking position still nearer the
foe, and causing great havoc. After an
hours hard fighting, the rebel batteries
were nearly all silenced Their guns were,
for the most part, aimed to high. For
three hours after an irregular fight was kept
up, while our men reconnoirtercd the enc
my's works. During all this time the gal
lantry of the Twenty. fifth Ohio and Fif
teenth Indiana was displayed to good ad-
vantage in scouting.
Just rs our reconnaissance was being
completed, every essencial fact relative to
the position of the rebels being discovered,
they were largely re-enforced from Their
camp near Monterey. This swelled their
numbers to $4,000. The expedition there
fore withdrew with loss of only ten killed
and eleven wounded. The enemy's loss
was very severe, numbering several hun
dred. Their killed and wounded could be
seen scattered all about the camp, and their
tents were torn in pieces by the balls. The
whole number of prisoners taken was thir-
teen, and some cattle and horses were also
brought off. The only difficulty that Gen.
Reynolds met with was in restraining the
ardor of his troops. They we're eager to storm
the rebel works, but as the possession of
the point was of no Importance, the General
refused to grant them permission. They
then challenged the enemy to come out
and fight them on the open field, but the
latter prudcntly declined to accept
the invitation. Altogether the affair was
a great success, and q demonstration of the
valor and discipline of our Western soldiers.

). NJ. Boorn IN THE COUNTY JAIL-CoNsrI-
TUITION AND MIND BREAKING UP.-There is no
sight so amentahle and SO calculated to a.
waken pity, as that of a once prominent and
talented man utterly prostrated and brok, n
down either 10y unavoidable misfortunes, or
10y the calamitous result of his own mscou-
duet
When one witnesses such a spectacle. all
bitterness and hatred are forgotten, and he
sincerely begins to pity, and wish it We're
otherwise.
A condition similar to this of which we
have spoken is now shared by Booth. who is
suffering the penalty of the law for his own
rashness, in the county Jail of this city We
are Informed that he is completely broken
down, to all appearance, and he certainly
must be if there is Il spark of the human left
in his composition. For to be confined in a
contracted county Jail, and made to room
with thieves, burglars. gin and whisky
wrecks, and the miserable scullous that are
wont to fill Jail in Il large city, (as is the
case with Booth cannot but gall the soul of
one possessed of the talent and education he
has had, so as to fairly drive him to madness.
lie had a superior education at Yale Col
lege. and at one time was regarded as enc of
the most talented men in this State. Now.
he is made to herd with the viest of the vile
in county Jail, during the day, and at night
is confined in a cell the same as his fellow
prisoners. We are informed that those who
formerly knew him, would hardly recognize
him now, 50 changed in his appearance. His
eyes and checks are sadly sunken, lis clothes
feel the want of tailor or selmstress, and he
has all the appearance of man WHO might
almost as well be dead as alive
At the same time it can not be denied that
he has brought all this upon himself lie
who violates the laws of his country or So
ciety must expect to suffer the bitter conse-
quenc =. And yet he could have obtained
his freedom long since, but for what seem to
us to be mistaken pride and logged OBJ
stinacy. Still even the most imperous stick
ers for the law can not but pity him now,
and acknowledge that The iron dignity Of the
law has been fully vindicated, His oh'ense
has been NOR than atoned for by its suffer-
ing, and it certainly would be an act OF hu-
manity were he now to be set at liberty
