Loss of the PrIyateer .Jef; DavIs,

Additional particulars of the loss of the
privateer jeff DaViS have been furnished
the Richmond Enquirer, by one Of the crew,
namSd Dutreux, who says;
In attempting to cross the bar at st. Au-
gustine, the brig grounded on the North
o'clock Sunday morning, the 18th instant.
A small boat was sent ashore with DR..
Babcock and Lieutenant. Baya and the
prisoners landed. The officers and crew of
the privateer then went ashore, and were
greeted with the most enthusiastic demon
strations by the inhabitants. About half
past nine two light boats went off to the brig
along with Captain Coxsetter and other Off.
GERS. The starboard guns were thrown over
board to tighten the vessel, in order to clear
her decks OF water and save as much as
possible of the supplies on board the brig.
Every effort was made to save everything
then on board, but it was supposed that the
guns thrown overheard stove her in and
caused her to bilge. The light boats, how
ever, were filled with a large amount oi
provisions and baggage, and finally succeed
ing in saving all the small arms on board.
The ladies threw open their houses, and
they were received with cheers upon cheers
| Cheers were given for the JEFF. Davis, for the
Southern Confederacy, and the utmost hi
larity and rejoicing for the safe arrival of the
| privateers was manifested. While there
they were sumptuously provided for, and
furnished with every comfort that could pos
sibly be devised.
They learned afterward that there hat
been considerable excitement in the town or
the appearance OF the Jeff. Davis it having
been suspected that she was Yankee cruiser
in disguise, and had hoisted the Confederate
flag to deceive or decoy some of the vessels
from the shore. The prisoners were also
treated very kindly, aud supplied with every
thing comfortable.
Every effort was made by Captain Cox.
setter to secure as much as possible for the
stockholders. The brig is total loss. Bu
a small piece of her bow was remaining or
Thursday morning, when our informant left
and it was then thought that she would e
| to pieces before daylight.

A Nnncent Nobility.

In the number Of De BoWs Re0ie,c, for July,
1860 is an elaborate article from the pen OF
George Fitzhugh, ESQ.,, author of Sociology
for the South, and long prominent advocate
of disunion. In the article designated he
gives expression to the following aspiration /:
england has once tried. to dispense with
nobility, and France twice, but each expert
ment was q failure. In America we have
the aristocracy of wealth and talents, and
that aristocracy is somewhat hereditary.
Ths landed aristocracy of the South, who
own slaves, approach somewhat to the En-
glish nobility. Time must determine whether
the quasi aristocracy Of the South has suffi
cient power, permanence and privilege to
give stability, durability and good order to
society. It is sufficiently patriotic and con-
servative in its feelings, but, we fear, wants
the powers, privileges and prerogatives that
the experience of all other countries has
shown to be necessary"
If such was Mr.. Fitzhugh's fear while the
South remained in the Union and under the
Constitution, we presume his hopes have
considerably risen since the outbreak of the
present war, for in the same article he avows
a preference for a military government as
being the "most perfect known to man,
and imputes it as a fault to the Republican
party that the more advanced of its numbers
were averse to wars. Mr.. Fitzhaugh's Ian
RuaBe unuer lHls nedu IL rs IolloWS. II VIII
be seen that he finds the perfection of mill
taIy government in the fact that it allows
"the least liberty" to its subjects:
"Wars seem unnecessary and unnatural
but God, who is wiser than we, has instituted
them for salutary purposes, and prompted
mankind to prepare for them. The more
rabid of the Republicans, and the most ma
lignant and mischievous Of them, are called
non-resistants, and prefer to dispense will
war altogether, as quite superfuous and un
necessary. This is only one of the thousand
forms in which Republicanism wars agains
nature. The most perfect system of govern
ment is to be found in armies, because il
them there is least of liberty, and most o
order, subordination and obedience" Ma

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?-The New York
Leader, in personal sketch of Colonel Cor
coran, makes the following curious assertions,
probably referring to the secret Irish society
known as the "Emmet Monument Associa-
tion," or "Phenix Brigade"
This is neither the place nor the time to
speak of another army as formidable in num-
bers and at least as well drilled as that to-
day under Mcclellan, in which Colonel Cor
coran also holds post of high command. 1t
is an army scattered through the chief cities
of the Union, and having powerful ramifca-
tions through distant island. 1t has, and
for several years has had, companies and dregi-
ments and brigades-not seen save by eyes
of the initiated; but meeting in squads and
companies and battallions, two or three
nights every week, in nearly all the more
populous towns and cities OF the Union, and
undergoing the strictest and most active drill.
The army to which we refer is loyal to the
Republic, and only wishes that the Republic
were more loyal to the republican idea as
understood by Mirabeau, Jefferson, Wolfe,
Tone and Robert Emmett. Should the evil
destiny of England lead her to take part
against the Union in the present war, then,
but not until then, will this invisible army,
in which Corcoran holds Generals commits
sion, swarm forth into daylight and activity,
only asking arms and transport.ships from
our Government to give full employment
within sight of the Welsh coast, to all the
arms and military resources of Great Britain

The AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN TELEGRAPH.
We are informed, says the New York EvsH-
ing Post that the prospect of connecting
New York and London by telegraph line
through China, Asiatic and European Rus
sia, by way OF Behring's Straits, is likely to
be realized. Mr.. P. McDonough Collins,
United States Consul for the Amoor River,
states that the Russian Government is now
causing the construction of line eastward
from Moscow, which it is intended shall
reach to the Pacific shore, at the mouth of
the Amoor, which lies in latitude $50 north,
and longitude 1902 east.
From the Amoor the Russians hope to es-
tablish telegraphic communication with
Yeddo and other Japanese cities. This,
however, will be only branch line. The
main line will run north eastwardly to Behr-
ing's Straits, and then be led down the
American shores, through the Russian and
British Possessions to Oregon and California,
where it will connect with our own Atlantic
and Pacific Telegraph Line.
Mr.. Collins is, we understand, now in this
country; and we trust that our merchants
may hear something from him upon this
great undertaking, which will belt the world
with electricity, and connect New York with
all the other capitals Of the ea.t5.

The r RebeIs on Che Lower Potomac.

The Washington Republican Of late date
says:
A gentleman well known in this city, and
Just arrived from Fredericksburg, Va, in
forms us that the town is almost exclusively
inhabited by old men, women and children;
that business is partially suspended, many OF
the merchants having exhausted their stock,
have closed their doors groceries, and boots
and shoes, are very scarce and high; fire.
arms and military equipments are not to be
had at any price, except dirk-knives and
sabres, which are being manufactured there;
for the latter large contract has just been
filled.
There are no Notifications in the neighbor.
hood Of fredericksburg, but at Camp Mercer,
near the city, there are about fifty Maryland
troops. General Holiness division, which
numbers about fifteen thousand, occupy
the whole country from point about seven
miles. from Fredericksburg to Manassas
Junction. -
Our informant states that be has reason to
believe that there about six thousand men
near Acquia Creek, and that they are now
erecting strong battery six or eight miles
this side of the creek.
While on the road from Fredericksburg he
met wagon loaded with goods from Mat
thias Point, and the driver told him they had
been brought over from the Maryland shore.
He left Fredericksburg in the morning, and
arrived at Matthias Point, which is thirty
eight miles distant, at about four o'clock in
the afternoon, where he found about enc
hundred and fifty militia, who had been in
the service about three months. The men
there are Of the most desperate kind their
favorite pastime being drinking, fighting and
playing cards. The noise of the boats pass
! ing up and down the river which can be
| heard for some distance, always gives them
warning, and in the bushes they hide them
selves until they have passed, and at night
at the sound of a vessel, every light in the
camp is extinguished. On arriving at the
Point he was obliged to wait until about
twelve or one o'clock before they would VEN
ture to take him across, for which they
charged him and the other passengers $40
piece. When about the middle of the river
they heard boat coming, and were obliged
to keep still until she passed. When he
reached the Maryland shore, in company
with the other passengers, he was taken to
house near by, where he stopped until
morning, when he was conveyed to Port To-
bacco, where he procured conveyance to
this city.
Our informant says that number of the
rebels are continually at Matthias Point, and
that if shot or shell was thrown in it would
likely reach some of them.

MILITARY MATTERS IN INDIANA.-The fol-
lowing statement, says the Lafayette CoUrisy,
of the troops now in Indiana is reliable:
Ten new regiments in camp in various
parts OF the State.
Six three months regiments which have
reorganized for the war, are now ready for
marching orders.
Four full batteries of rifed cannon. six
companies of cavalry.
When these companies are in the feld
Indiana will have thirty-seven thousand men
in the ranks, and by the first of October she
will have forty thousand men, including one
regiment of cavalry, which is now organic
ing. She also has brass field pieces at Law
renceburg; one at Vevay, one at Jefferson
vile, two at New Albany, two at Madison,
three at Evansville, and four at Rockport,
and one hundred and twenty-five companies
of Home Guards in the border counties who
are being supplied with arms and aocouter-
ments.

Interesting from sprInsfieId.

The Rolla correspondent of the st. Louis
Democrat of the 9th inst. says:
An intelligent and reliable gentleman ar.
rived here last evening, having left Spring
field late Friday evening. He confirms the
opinion entertained here for some time, that
McCulloch, disgusted and disappointed, was
moving toward the Arkansas border. He
was last heard from at the Chalybeat Springs,
near Mount Vernon. He was moving with
about five thousand troops, of the Tennessee,
Louisiana and Arkansas levies. Some re-
endorsements lately received from Texas
were accompanying his movements. Nc.
Culloch left Pond Spring, near Springfield,
on Tuesday-a week ago to-day. Another
circumstance that was noticed was the fact
that McCulloch's wounded in the hospital
were being conveyed to the Arkansas border
toward Bentonville.
My informant saw McCulloch only once in
Springfield since the battle. he was dressed
as a private, in blue clothes. Price and Nc
Culloch have had quarrel, and the latter
was extremely disgusted with matters gen.
orally, and particularly with the action OF
Missouri State Guard upon the battle field.
add the following for what it is worth; it
may be nothing new to you in addition to
what is already known of the rebel army
movements:
Rains, with the first division, passed Car.
thage on the way to Fort Scott. 1t was re.
ported among his partsans in Springfield
that he had three engagements with Mont
gomery, and was badly used. He had sent
to Springfield for re-enforeements and six
pieces of artillery.
On Sunday, 10th ult, Price, Parsons, Slack
and Churchill moved toward Boliver with
force estimated by my informant at from
ten to twelve thousand men.
When last heard from they were squint-
ing toward Jefferson City, on the road be-
tween Bolivar and Warsaw. Only part OF
McBride's division were left in Springfield

LORD BRoUGHAM ON THE REBELLIoN.-At
the annual meeting at Dublin, of the Social
Science Association a short time since, Lord
Broughman made the Inaugural Address,
his subject being "Political Progress" His
only reference to American affairs was as
follows;
On this most unhappy subject it becomes US
20 abstain from Whatever might be deemed
k , indicate an opinion upon the merits of the
controversy. But we should ill-represent
the freinds of the science we cultivate if we
did not breathe an earnest hope for the ter
mination Of q civil war, the real origin of
which has been the Disappointment faction
in the thirst for places, and which, as if to
make it more respectable and more amiable,
has assumed as its ayowed principle the per-
petuation and extension of slavery, now for
the first time declared to be good in itself.
Surely, without offense to either party in this
lamentable contest, we may breathe wish
the least of the wars eVils-its heavy eX-
penses-were bestowed upon the redemption
of the colored race, upon the amicable re-
moval of the greatest obstruction that exists
to American prosperity, the greatest blot
that tests on the American name,

A REMNsCENoE.-When it was believed
that a portion of the Southern States were
bent upon precipitating the dread issue Of
disunion, in disregard as well of the wishes
and interests of the Border Slave States as OF
their own constitutional obligations, the
present Governor of Kentucky held the fol.
lowing emphatic language of warning and
entreaty:
To South Carolina and such other States
who may wish to seeede from the Union, 1
would say; The geography of this country
will not admit of a divisioni the mouth and
sources of the Mississippi River can not De
separated without the horrors OF civil war.
We can not sustain you IN this movement
merely on account Of the election OF Lincoln.
Do not precipitate US by premature action
into a revolution or civil war, the conse-
quences of which will be most frightful to all
of us.
