rate army, who was arrested some days ago
at Cincinnati, to be conveyed from Cincinnati
to Fort Lafayette, off the New York harbor,
where are already confined the Baltimore Po-
lice Commissioners and a number of other
prisoners.
The New York delegation are urging Gen.
Wools employment, but it is believed their
real mission is to insist that the restoration
of trade must precede the loan. 1t is the
ultimatum now with New Workers.
1t is thought that Gen. Wool will GER
tainly be ordered to take command at For
tress. Monroe.
The Washington correspondent of the
World says that market people from the
Virginia side are prohibited from entering
Washington.
Prince Napoleon has left for New York.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 12.-The following

PoEtmaster-General declines to deliver dom
este letters addressed to persons in the Sc
coded States after they reach the dead-letter
office. The letters will be opened as fast as
received, and generally will be promptly
returned to writer's. Foreign letters will be
delivered on presentation of an order from
parties to whom they are addressed.
A Kentucky Congressman in Secretary
Chase's confidence says that the system of
permits will soon be abandoned. Articles

PRESENTATION OF A SWORD TO GENER AL
BEAUREGARD-A HEROIC FEMININE REBEL.-
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, of the Both ult., has the fol-
lowing:
A few days since a lady in this city, the
wife of a prominent official under the last
administration, forwarded to Gen. Beaure.
gard, through her son, a magnificent sword,
as a present from a number of ladies resid-
ing in-the Second Ward, who desired thus to
express their esteem and sympathy for him in
his present position. A day or two after
wards this same lady herself went as far as
Maryland Point, with one hundred letters in
her possession for the rebels. which she had
conveyed to them in the following manner +:
On reaching Maryland Point she shot off a
rocket as a signal for the boat on the oppo-
site shore, which Immediately came over,
with mufled oars, took the package, and
then left, after which the lady returned to
this city. On Thursday last she repeated
the experiment, this time attempting herself
to pass over in the boat, but was compelled
to return, when within about three hundred
yards of the Virginia shore, by a shot from
the steamer Res0Iute. The lady is now in
Washington, probably awaiting another OPP
~portunity to advance the cause of the rebels
insthis clandestine mode. We refrain from
mentioning names, as by so doing we might
prevent the successful prosecution of the plan
which has been adopted for the capture OF
the whole party. Free and constant commu-
~nication with the rebels is said to be kept up
by means of boats from Alexandria to Deco
guam, the enemy's pickets extending that far

captured from the Yankees at Manassas is

Breathes there man with soul SO dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native landl"
Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned
AS home his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering on foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go, mark him welll
For him no minstrers raptures swell.
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch coEcentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored, and unsung.

"It was our good fortune to know Col.

HONOR TO THE MEMORY OF HERO.
The following General Order was is
sued, at Harrisburg, immediately on re-
ceipt of the intelligence of the death of
Colonel Baker:
at is with great pain that the Governor
and Commander-in-C Chief has learned of
the death of Col. Edward D. Baker, upon
the field of battle. Although not citi-
zen of Pennsylvania, he had been elected
by many of her sons as their commander,
and he met his death while gallantly lead
ing them into action. The same feeling
which inspired his soldiers to regard no
State lines when our common country was
in danger induced the Commander-in-
Chief to recognize him, while living, as a
Pennsylvania soldier, and impels him now
that he is dead to bear public testimony
to his gallantry and worth.
