danger to lose his own life THIS assumption
seems to be correct, as the governor not only
previous to that day, but soon afterwards,
took the most decided stand against rebellion
in Maryland, being under circumstances in
which he had nothing to fear for the safety of
his lite. His weakness for time was there.
fore not excusable, but easily comprehensive
The 4th OF July was properly celebrated by
the soldiers. In the forenoon the soldiers
were formed in line on the parade ground, the
volunteers and the regulars forming two bat
talions, the former commanded by Captain
Sprague, as Major Devens was absent in
Washington, the latter by Captain DeRussy,
in order to receive the secretary of war, Mr..
Cameron, and to escort him to the headquar-
tiers OF Maj. Gen. Banks. Mr.. Cameron ar
rived at l2k O'Clock at the fort, being accom-.
panied by Major M. w. Morris, late promoted
to be lieutenant colonel, who went to Bati-
more in order 10 receive the secretary, ard to
convey him in his private carriage 20 the fort.
When the carriage arrived in the center of the
column, arms were presented TO the secretary
of war, who Immediately answered the saluta-
ton by relieving his silvery hair from the
pleasant burden of fine straw hat. Then the
order was given, "By companies, right wheel,
so that the secretary carriage came between
the two battaons-the fourth artillery being
on the right the third battalion rifles on the
left wing, taking the secretary and his suite as
the center.
The column, headed by the band of the
fourth artillery, which arrived here the. same
morning from the west, proceeded then TO the
headquarters of Gen. Banks, where it was
drawn again in line, the band playing some
sweet tunes. After this ceremony was over,
the companies marched back into their respect.

which was purposely provided for the occa-
sion, and for which the different companies
feel under obligation not only to their captains
and other officers, but also to Major Devens,
the commander of the whole battalion. l will
not forget TO mention that, at II o'clock, a sa-
Lutte of thirty four guns was fired from the wa
ter sattery of the fort, and another of thirteen
guns when the secretary of war appeared on
the ramparts of the fort,

Correspondence OF the Boston Traveller.
WASHINGTON, July 8.-The members of the
Massachusetts first have been considerably
stirred up by an occurrence which has taken
place within few hours. 1t seems that last
Wednesday or Thursday a slave called "Wis-
dom,' ran away from his master, living in or
near Georgetown, on account ofahaving been
beaten aud otherwise iltrealed. 1t was said
that his master was a mounted secessionist,
a saddle, bride, and pistol, which belonged to
him, and was kept in the parlor of his resi-
dence, in readiness Tor action, should the gov
eminent forces be compelled to evacuate
Washington. Whether true or not, such was
the slaves testimony, and he WIS Immediately
taken into the camp and employed BIS the
wagoners about the horses, &c, they sharing
their rations with him, and giving him odg.
ing by night.
On Sunday, July 7, the man pretending to
be his master, came into the camp inquiring
for his slave. He was sent to various parts Of
the camp on such fools errands as he deserved
While he was gone the slave was hurried first
into the woods, and then into the empty aque-
duct of the Washington water works, and
discouraged. Monday morning, however,
bright and carly, he was back again. still Nth
out papers, and tile wagoners unfortunately be-
ing all away, he got track and sight OF tile fu.
gitive he sought. When the poor fellow heard
the voice of his master, he trembed like a
frightened hare, and could hardly move, so
extreme was his terror
Capt. Snow of Somerville, was officer of the
day, and request was made to him that the
slave might be given up and remanded to
bondage. But on various pretexts the captain
delayed action, like the true and noble hearted
man he is, hoping that the slave might again
be struggled out of the way. His master,
however, went at once to the colonel, and stat.
ed his case. and the colonel, Withom papers,
or any legal action whatever, without testimo-
ny even, save that OF the slave and his owner
informally given, and therefore not to be le-
gally received commanded Capt Snow, as he
himself confessed in presence of the captain
and the chaplain, w. IL. Cudworth, to deliver
up the slave to his master. From this order
there was no appeal. The slave was given
up, trembling with terror, and is now IN bonds.
What punishment he has suffered, or wW suf.
fer, can only be conjectured. l state the case
just as it happened, leaving comment to those
who read.

FaIthful Among the Failhles..

One of the most interesting passages in the
presidents message was his tribute TO the
loyalty of the common soldiers and sailors in
the service of the country. "While large
numbers of those in the army and navy who
have been favored with the offices have proved
false to the hand which pampered them, not
one common soldier or common sailor is known to
haze deserted his .fag." 1t is peculiar and
noticeable fact, and deserved thus emphatically
to be put on imperishable record Accustomed
to recognize the command of their superior
officers as absolute law, and, by the habit of
stheir service, to acquiesce in movements which
they do not understand, their fidelity to the
government assumes the character of lumi
nous virtue, and justifes the plain words in
which the president commends them to histo.
ry. The same loyalty pervades the great
masses of the people throughout nearly the
whole country. 1t makes them forgetful of
distinctions which have engendered fountains
Of bitterness heretofore, and compels them to
strive with one another for the places of trial
and danger They will certainly save the gov
eminent, if the government will do its part
only inditferently well.

We have reason to know that the confeder-
ate government is in possession of dispatches
from the commissioners in Europe as late as
May "A. We are betraying no secret of the
government at Richmond because our infor-
nation does not come from any member of it.
At the date alluded to Mr. Yancey was in
London; Judge Rost was in Paris, and had
had two interviews with the emperor. The
particulars of those interviews we should not
state ii we could. But there is no harm in
saying that the result was of a character high
ly gratifying to our commissioners and to the
friends OF their country. The French emperor
understands the questions at the bottom of
the American revolution far better than Lin.
coin or any of the northern rulers who are
now running the "old wreck" high and dry
ashore with all their might. "Set Il beggar
on horseback, says the old proverb, "and he
will ride to tue devil" Lincoln and crew are
beggarly statesmen, and, before many moons,
will be 'Stench in the nostrils'' of all civil.
lied men, as they are now in those of the PEG
pie of the south, and growing daily to be in
those of Europe. In England, the southern
cause hourly gains strength and friends Ev.
cry step of the Lincoln government has dam.
aged it abroad. Stewards hraggadoca dis
patches and Cassius M. Clay's silly letter to
the London Times have prejudced their au.
thors and helped the south. On the whole,
our commissioners are in the best possible
spirits, working hard as any man with heart
in his breast would work in such cause, and
doing better with that cause than even san.
gulne confederate would have right to ex-
pect.

CITY AND COUNTY

CAMP ScoTT.-The 10th regiment will be
mustered into the United States service, to-
day, probably at half past ten this forenoon.
Should the mastering officer fail to arrive in
the morning train, the ceremony will be defer
red till afternoon. The friends of the regi-
ment and of many of the companies have
kindly remembered them during the last two
or three days, which we cannot mention in
detail. The girls of Mr.. j. X. Lombard's
Sunday school class, yesterday, visited the
soldiers and distributed among them twenty
dollars worth of tracts and interesting moral
works. The gifts lost nothing in value from
the very agreeable way in which they were
given. The ladies of Clinton have given to
the Clinton Light Guard full set of have
locks, and the company have been otherwise
favored by lneIr friends. The ladies of Ok
ford have in the same manner remembered
their friends of Co. f. Rev. DIR. Bardwell
has also given each member copy of tie
Testament, to be delivered when they are mus
tered into the service. Col Dewitt, in addi-
ton to his other generous donations, has given
four swords to the officers of the company,
and left subject to the order of Lieut.. Barthol-
omew check for 500. The Lancaster COM
pany acknowledge the receipt of seventy nine
havelocks from the ladies of their town; and
Co. X, of Blackstone, return their thanks to
the ladies of Worcester for their very well
come present of one hundred and three have
locks.

OUT OF EMPLOYMENT,

The crisis through which the country is
passing, will put the patriotism OF the aboring
classes to severe test Many are already
thrown out of employment, and many more
must call their wits into active service before
they can hope the old and prosperous order of
things will be restored One of the worst
things they can do, however, is TO resort for
relief to exciting public gatherings, and efforts
to force favorable results from events which
chow favor to none. There are always bad
men enough waiting and watching to take adj
vantage of symptoms of public distress, and
they will undoubtedly attempt to make some
thing out of the present feeling of anxiety in
regard to the future. But they are the worst
enemies of the poor man, and will increase his
difficulty as surely as he trusts them. We
notice that efforts have been made already ito
provoke street meetings in Roxbury, upon
the hint that score or two Of poor people
were DESTROYS of work of which there was no
present hope. Some inhammatory handbills
were secretly posted during the night for
q meeting in front of the post Office, Wednes,
day morning, to which about twenty five
men responded, and these the police very
promptly and properly dispersed. There is
not city of New England which is not
generously disposed and abundantly able to
support every one of its citizens upon whom
the times fall heavily, and who is disposed
to help himself, without forcing upon him
the odium of accepting charity, or placing
him upon level with the towu pauper. But
il there were, such agrarian movements would
afford no lasting relief. They are The last
acts OF improvidence and desperation, and
should be avoided like pestilence.

Sad and Fatal Accident TO Mrs. LongfellOw.
From the Boston journal, 10th

Sad and Fatal Accident to Mrs. LongfeIIOw.
From the Boston Journal 10th
We regret to record very serious accident
which betel the amiable and accomplished wife
of Prot. Longielow, yesterday afternoon, at
her residence in Cambridge. 1t appears Mrs.
Longfeluw was in the act of sealing package
with sealing wax, when, by some means, her
dress caught fire, instantly wrapping her in
flames Before the fire could be extinguished
her body was terribly burned. Drs. Wyman
and Johnson OF Cambridge were Immediately
summoned, and were unremitting in their at
tentions through the afternoon and night, but
SO serious were her injuries that hope Of her
surviving was nearly abandoned Everything
that medical skin could suggest was done to
relieve the sufferer. This morning Mrs. l..
rallied little, and her physicians entertained
some hopes of her ultimate recovery. In en-
deavorng to extingush the flames which en-
yeloped his wife, Prof Longtellow had his
hands and wrists severely burned. The sad
acct ent which has bealen her will elicit the
sincere sympathes of the community gener-
ally, as well as OF her numerous friends.
The Boston Transcript adds Mrs. Long
fellow died at IL O'Clock III the forenoon. She
was the daughter OF Hon, Nathan Appleton of
this city, and one OF the most noble and ac
complished women i'll the country, of great
personal beauty and ofdignified presence. She
leaves an interesting family of children, TO
mourn the loss of IL mother whose devotion to
them was such us to secure their afectionate
regard to a degree rarely attained. This ter
rible accident has thrown deep gloom over
many circles in Cambridge and Boston, as the
deceased was universal tavorlte with all
classes

BATTLE IN MISSOURI.

Disnatches from Kansas City, received yes
,erlay, report that battle has occurred in
southwestern Missouri, near Carthage. Here
is the statement
KANSAS Cry, Mo, July l0.-rhe Fort
Scott Democrat of the 9TH contains an account
of A battle between the Missouri state troops,
under Coy. jackson and Gen. Raines mum
bering by their own account from 10000 to
1900, and the federal forces under Col. Sic
gel numbering 1900. Our informant says that
ON Wednesday, Sd inst, the state troops lett
RUPEES Point, and moved south to Murray, six
miles distant. On Friday morning, 9th, they
broke camp and marched south in the direc
ton of Carthage, the county seat OF jackson
county. AT Brier Fork, seven miles north OF
Carthage, they were met by Col. Siegel, with
1900 men, who Immediately gave battle. The
first Ouset resulted in the rebel troops being
driven back some distance, and their officers
ordered retreat. Their center gave way, but
the advancing federal troops were IN danger
of being surrounded themselves, and fell back
retreatng slowly, keeping up a fight, our ar
til!ery making fearful havoc among the rebels.
AT the crossing Of the Dry Fork, our lines
were near being broken, when by the timely
arrival of 200 Union men from Shoal Creek
they crossed with loss of five killed and two
MORALLY wounded. The battle continued by
the federal troops alternately fighting and re-
treating until dark, when they reached Car
thage, having crossed Buck Branch and
Spring River on the way. The fighting on
the retreat was all done with artillery, Col.
Siege retreating as soon they got them in
position, and playing on the rebels ranks as
they advanced. 1t is believed that Siegel's
object was to draw the reLes to Carthage,
when with the four hundred reserve and The
expected reinforcements from Neosho and
Sarcoxe he would be enabled to return aud
drive them back and route them. The loss of
the rebels is very great.
A second despatch stated that the rebels lost
three hundred or more, and adds that they at.
forwards made night attack on Col Siegel
near Carthage and cut up his troops badly.
One report said he had four hundred killed
and wounded and six hundred taken prisoners,
but later and more authentic report denies
this. 1t is evident that Col. SiegePs force had
not been been cut up in that way, for the third
despatch, which came from an authentic
source, stated that other troops had joined his
little army, and at last accounts he was in hot
pursuit of the rebels who were fleeing before
him. Col Siegel is a trained soldier and an
old campaigner in Europe. He will be likely
to give good account of himself.
