BATTLE OF THE BARRELs.--The n. \. Tribune
has an animated account OF a brilliant victory
by old Butler at Fortress Monroe and Hampton!
The impatient hero, having caught all the negroes
he could, and not being able to tnd Magruder
though he had worn out his shoes looking for him,
and being determined to conquer somebody,
pitched into the grog-skops and demolished thirty
or forty whisky barrels and all the tcklers of his
command Before making the charge, de delivered
a most patriotic harangue, in which he eXpatlated
on the evils of intemperance, and especially on the
evils it mad wrought among the gallant chicken
thieves whom he had brought to overrun Vir-
rina He then addressed himself to his officers. He
told them the time had arrived when great ex-
ample was necessary. He himself would be the
Curtius He would break his own bottle first. He
then demanded that they should initiate the ex-
ample on pain Of lismssion. All submitted except
one, who Indignantly threw mp his commission.
The General was delighted at his success, and at
once began the grand attack on the barrels demi-
johns and canteens, which he smashed with the
vjgor of a Sampson.
When the glorious victory was complete, he as
sured his officers COntideHtally, that he had been
led to the apparently rash act by two Gonsldera-
tons lst, that he might eXtOrt a compliment from
Greeley, who is Il cOld-water lad and "a, and
principally, he had it from sure source, that
some OF Magrudcr's desperadOes were prodiglous'y
fond of liquor, that they were out, that they had
sworn by all the gods they would have some in AZ
hours they had to take Fortress Monroe. They
were men Of their words; but the General was
certain they would abandon their medita1ed attack
as soon as they heard that the Guor was split OF
wh:ah he proceeded at once to inform them by
fksG of truce. [Richmond Wing.

SHOCKING ACC1DENT.-Dr. Thomas, the Deputy
Coroner, held an inquest yesterday afternoon over
the body of Samuel Meechum, who was killed
during the previous night, by falling from a sixth
story window, in the western end of the American
Hotel, to the yard, between the Hotel and Bank of
Virginia. Capt. Griffin, of Colonel Pryor's Regi-
ment, testified before the Coroner that he met
with deceased at the Hotel Thursday night, and
retired to his room about l O'Clock, accompanied
by Meechum. He went to bed, and Meechum
after undressing, seated himself in Il chair near
the window-the weather being oppressivey
warm. Capt. G. soon fell asleep, and was aawak'
cned about o'clock \. NJ, by servant, who in
formed him that Meechum was missing from the
room, though his clothes were hanging upon a
chair. On looking out of the window, they dis
covered the mangled body of the unfortunate man
lying in the yard below. They immediately went
down, and ascertained that life was extinct. As
the descent wes not less than one, hundred feet,
the deceased must have been instantly killed.
We are informed that Mr.. Meechum was com.
missary of Major Wilson's Battalion, now en-
camped at Burwell's Bay, and that he had come
to the city on business connected with his depart
ment. He was citizen OF Petersburg,

sasm was Wild BeanregaEd and Johnston were

the greatest possible respect. AN their pressing
invitations and entreaties that he wonld 90 on to

firmly declined, The i0rtiiGatiOns at Manassas
are formidable, aud our guns, particularly Of Sher

fences. Beauregard informed the Prince that he
captured sixtytwo guns at the battle of Bull Run.
| The dead we're not properly buried. They we're
simply put under ground, and some of thetfeet
were seen above. The soldiers in Manassas Were
numerous but poorly dressed. At the departing
the Rebels gave the Prince salute with United

and said ~ hope you Ike our fortifcations'' -
