This Afternoons Report.
FROM GREAT BETHEL.

bhEkAEAs
FoRTREss MONROE, VIA BALTIMORE,
June 14th, 1861.
1t is confirmed that the rebels had retired
from Great Bethel, so far as their main
body is concerned, but the place is still
held by them, and can be occupied by q
large body on very short notice.
Capt II. Z. Davis, son Of Judge Davis,
Lieut.. Charles H. Seaman, and DR.. Martin,
of Col. Duryea's regiment yesterday enter
ed the enemy's lines with flag of truce,
and went to within half mile of York
town. They saw a formidable battery at
Great Bethel, but we're not allowed 10 exam
inc the works, and from there to Yorktown
were conducted by bride baths, and es-
corled by sergeant and four sOldiers, who
met them at Newmarket Bridge, three
miles from Hampton, to which point the
secession pickets extend.
They were courteously treated by Col. J
B. Magruder, who commanded at Great
Bethel. There was large Oncampment of
cavalry at Yorktown, and the place was being
strongly fortified There were also batteries
between Great Bethel and Yorktown.
The secessionists report enc killed and FIVE
wounded at the engagement at Great Bethel,
and express the wish that Gen. Pierce may
be retained in command.
Major Winthrop was sEot by a Louisiana
riheman, while leading vigorous charge. He
was buried by the ,ebels, and his heroism
greatly PRAISED.
Two Zouaves died prisoners. Rebels say
they have other prisoners whom they were
willing to exchange.

FROM THE SEAT or WAR.

rhEDhhiOk, ND, June Is.
Reported that the bridge across the Poto-
mac at HaIper's Ferry was blown down and
entirely destroyed between four and five
o'clock this morning. Explosion was dis
tictly heard and the smoke of the burning
structure ssen by parties here. Also reported
that all the troops have been Withdrawn
from the Maryland shore and the town of
Harper's Ferry has been evacuated By the
great body of the troops recently there.
A small force is yet there probably the
rear guard of the retreating army. 1t is
said eight car loads of provisions were des-
troyed to prevent their falling into fhe hands
of the Federalists who were reported to be
concentrating upon Harpers Ferry from the
direction of Green Castle and Cumberland.
The destruction of the bridge may be Ie-
garded as certain. Colfrmatory Intelligence
has been received within a few minutes
The bridge at Shepardstown is also burned,

Manufacture of Heavy Ordnance for tho
Government.

Manufacture of Heavy Ordnance for the
Government.
The Boston Traveller states that the
South Boston Iron Foundry now employs
two hundred operatives In The manufacture
of heavy ordnance and projectiles for the
Government. Some of the machinery is
kept in motion the whole twenty.fOur
hours, so urgent are the demands. The
Traveller adds;
At this foundry are now making not
only twelve and thirteen-inch shell for
mortars, but shell for ton-inoh COlumbiads,
and shot and shell for twelve and six
Founders, with canister and grape. From
two to three hundred of shot and shell are
made per day, and about twelve guns per
week. Many persons suppose that mortars
and heavy ordnance are cast hollow, ready,
after finishing, for use. This is a mistake.
The gun is cast solid and then bored.
The Government inspection is of the most
rigid character, and for the slightest devi-
alton, even the thousandth part of an inch,
the gun is rejected We saw one heavy
nine-inch Dahlgren navy gun which was
cut in three pieces for the furnace, simply
because in finishing the outside; where ii
could not be turned, the workman had
Clipped off q bit of iron as big only ss
ten cent piece. The gun was just as good
as any one that had been made, but the in.
spector had rejected it.

BALLooNING FOR THE ARMY.-JOhn La
Mountain, the ballOOnist has received a
letter from Gen. Butler, at Fortress Mon
roe, in response to his proposition to enter
the army with his balloon, for reconnOiter-
ing purposes. That distinguished COM
mandant says the service proposed is of
great Importance, and if the plans Of La
Mountain are carried out, cannot fail to
prove CT much benefit. He therefore di-
rects him to Fortress Monroe with his bal

influence with the War Department to have

periments succeed. This is tantamount 10

WHEELNG, Va, June l3.
There are present at the Convention TWEEN
ty-two members of the State House of Dele
gates three State Senators and fly-three
delegates to the Convention. The former
viii convene as a Legislature and proceed to
enact laws for the government of the State.
The Constitution which will be adopted by
the State will follow, as far as possible, the
wording of the present State Constitution.
As yet there has been but little to report as
you have discovered, but after meeting this
morning matters will run on m re lively.
One object of proceeding slowly at first was
10 allow the largest number of members to
be present before any decisive action is taken.
1t it impossible as yet to tell who win fill
all The offices. Pierpont and Carlile are the
two best men, but while one of them is
wanted for Governor, both are wanted for
lbe Senate. 1t is not improbable that Presi-
dent BOeman may FL one of the above
offices. Messrs. Carlile and Pierpont have
both been wealthy, but have lost most of
their property BY tteir Union stand. The
former now resides here, having removed
from Olarksburg few weeks ago.
The Eleventh Indiana Regiment moved
yesterday morning from Cumberland TO
Romney, Hampshire county, thirty miles
south of Cumberland, doubtless astonishing
the natives by their sudden appearance.
Six ladies accompany theregiment, dressed
in semi-blOOmer style, with coarse boots,
wide pants buckled over she boots, gray
jacket tightly fitting, gray dress descend
ing little below the knees, and low
crowned hat decked with plumes.

We notice that several of the country
papers copy our special telegraph reports
without giving credit. In procuring these
reports we have incurred great expense,
and ask only of our friends of the press that
they give us due credit for the same. We
are willing to aid our country exchanges in
getting the latest news, but we have rights
in this connection, and we hope in future
they will be respected.

TriP Of tho Maid of the Mist through the
Rapids.

From the Rochester Democrat, JuneT.
Trir of tho Maid of the Mist through the
Rapids.
Yesterday afternoon one of the most per-
ilous voyages ever chronicled was made by
the little steamer Maid of the Mist in which
SO many pleasure seekers have, in times
past, vo, aged to the face of the immense
Sheet of water which constitutes the famous
Falls of Niagara 1t appears that the boat
has never been paying property, and her
owner has incurred some Indebtedness
which was about to result in her seizure.
To avoid this catastrophe she was yester
day taken down the river through the
whirlpool, and arrived safely at Lewiston,
The daring navigator who accomplished
this hitherto supposed to be impossible feat
was none other than Robinson, the man
who has go often rendered himself cOnspic-
uous by his intrepidity in saving life and
property endangered by proximity to the
great cataract.
The Mail of the Mist got up steam about
half past o'clock, and showed out into the
stream from her landing. She had on board
only three persons Robinson aud one 9th
er man at the wheel, and the third below,
TO act as fireman and engineer. The boat
ran up stream short distance as if to get
good start, and then her prov was pointed
with the current and away she went, the
few spectators on shore holding their
breath with sus pense. How the adventu-
rers on beard felt we have no means Of
| knowing.
AS she entered the rapids every eye was
strained; as the gallant little craft surmount-
ed billow after bllOw, under the skillful guild
ance of her pilot and passed each ordeal in
safety, the utmost enthusiasm was manites-
ted. At one point, however, a thrill of hor-
ror struck the hearts of the watchers, for the
Maid of the Mist appeared to have capsized.
The surprise was only for IN instant for she
| Immediately rightcd with The loss of her
smoke stack, and passed on, otherwise un-
harmed. To run the Whirlpool, though haz-
ardous, was still less hazardous exploit
than the passage of the Rapids, and she did
it without trouble; and those who beheld
the boat emerging into comparatively still
water drew long sigh of relief.
It was terrible ordeal, as it has long been
taken for granted that no craft as small as
that could live a moment in the seeking cauld'
ronsof the Rapids, or escape from the Whirl
pool after entering its circle. No other craft
either large or small, has ever attempted tC
perform the trip. The Maid OF the Mist will
never again be seen in the theatre of her past
history. To ascend the Rapids is a physica
impossibility for a steamer of any power.

Tho Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock

The Convention adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow morning,
Il will be seen that Oarlile's Declaration
is the most important paper which has come
before the Convention. The members are
well pleased with it,
COUNTER CALL.
The following call was shown in cOnvcn-
tiou this morning. Levisburg is in GrOn-
briar county, and it is supposed the call
smanated from the Senator from Lewis
district:
d q 10 the patrols Of North rssterH Prginia:
Raersas, A ConYentioa is 10 be held in
Wheeling on the 11th Of this month for the
avoWed purpose of efFecting division Of
the State, aud attaching portion thereof
as a miserable appendage TO one Of the Re-
publican States, or else forming the same
into q new and Insignificant free State;
and believing that either change would
be ruinOus TO our property and our So
oial happiness; We therefore earnestly
call upon the people Of northwestern
Virginia in their several counties, who still
remain loyal to the Old Dominion and are
opposed TO being tucked on TO the ''TAIL END
Of the "BLACK REPUBLICAN DESP0F-
ISM to send delegates TO a Convention to
be held at Lewisburg, on the first Monday OF
July next, TO enter their solemn PROTEST
against this wicked and reasonable scheme;
and also to take such action as may then be
thought proper, alter knowing the result of
the Wheeling Convention. lfa Convention,
gotten up as the one to be held at Wheeling,
has been, has he power to divide the State,
then, upon the same suppOsition, we in Con-
ventiOn, by the same right and power, can
annul their acts and SEPARATE AGAIN
FROM THEM"
This was read and laughed over through
out the Convention. s. P.

The Ohio state Loan.

The Fund Commissioners have advertised
to take subscriptions to the State Loan Of
S2,OOOOOO, payable July Isl, 1868, at six
per cent interest payable semi-annually.
To persons seeking safe investment for
their money, says the Toledo Blade, no bet
ter opportunity than this is offered. In adj
dition to the upquestiOned security of the
paper, the fact that the loan is especially
exempted from taxation, makes it highly
desirable. But over both these, in the view
of patriot, is the consideration that in
taking portion of the loan, he is con-
tributing of his means to sustain and per-
petuate government which is not only
essential to the protection Of his property
but also to the highest political interests Of
his country and the world. The small de-
nominations Of the certificates enables men
of moderate means, as well as capitalists,
to participate in the noble purpose.
