WASHINGTON, July II


The Freeborn on Saturday went within
$50 wards of Matthias Point and treated
the rebels who were hid in the bushes to
about twenty shells, scattering them in all
directions.
II is clear they have no battery there.
but at Aqua the rebels were very busy
constructing their Notifications.
A negro who escaped from Alabama en-
tered the lines last night, and was brought
before Gen. Scott. He says there were five
regiments yesterday morning in and around
Fairfax Court House, with eighteen field
pieces in all, and twelve pieces in a bate
~. The three most advanced regiments
are South Carolinians.
From the Court House back to Centre
vile the roads are lined with disuniOn
troops. Their baggage, &c, from Fairfax
Station, has been carried back to Manas-
sas.
This is in preparation for an attack from
us. They have batteries commanding eve
ry approach by road to the Court House.
Trees are felled in all the n%eighboring
woods.
Lieut.. Tompkins captured four South
Carolinians this afternoon. Tkey belonged
to the three advanced rebel regiments.
From all that could be gained from them
they confirmed the intimatiOns that they
are about to retreat.
Herald's correspondence.
The two Misses Scott, who are supposed
to have been the cause of the capture of
Capt Goodwin, of the Connecticut Regl-
ment, have been arrested by order of Gen.
Tyler, and will be held prisoners till Good

poses are now used to print army blanks

Stars and Stripes float from your window;

One Of the Cincinnati Sy%mpathisers
and Abettors, Wants his Acts Of Pa
triotism ! ! Advertised where it Will
Pay.
W. extract the following from the Vicks-
burg Wing. of July 9th, 1861:
John A. SKIFF:-As this gentleman
was taken up in Cincinnati for treason,
and having been extensively noticed in the
newspapers, we publish the following let
ter from him, received by a mercantile
house in this city, dated Cincinnati, June
26th, 1861:
AS you kave no doubt heard of my ar
rest and imprisonment, [ thought best to
inform you of the cause of all this i'll treat
ment. L was shipping to Louisville ten fir
kins Of butter in ale barrels, and seven do.
loose, and one tierce and one box clear
Sides, when it was discovered. They i'm
mediately rushed into my store, and took
my copying book and letters, and took me
before the Commissioner, who held me to
appear before the United States Court.
and who sent me to Jail where they kept
me eight days, when L was released on
bail. My crime consisted in shipping
South, and voting for Bell and Everett.
l wish you to have the facts published
in one of your papers, as l wish my friends
to know that l have not been guilty of any
whatever.
l thought best to let you know what a
mob spirit ruled here. They took me be-

in business here fifteen years, and because
the most of my customers are South, not

How is business with you? In this

Virginia Senators Admitted-Clark,
of Missouri, Expelled.

The two US. Senators elected at Wheel
ing by the loyal Virginians, have been ad.
mitted to seats in the Senate. The Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Cleveland Lea
der, says:
The admission of the new Senators, Car
lie and Wiley, of Virginia, to-day. was
strongly opposed by Bayard and Saulsbu-
ny. But the Senate came nobly up to the
mark, and only FIVE voted against the ad-
mission.
The bill for the relief of inirm and dis
abled soldiers passed the Senate to-day.
CLARK, Of Missouri, who was at the bat
tie Of Boonyille, fighting with the State
troops against the Government, was to-day
expelled from the House. These expul-
sions are but the prelude to the reckoning
which will be demanded Of traitors like
him.

The Brilliant Exploit of Colonel Thorn

The Confederate heart has been greatly
rejOiced by the brilliant exploit of Lieut..
THOMAS, as a deserter from the United
States Navy, now Colonel Of Confedcrates,
who with a party took passage on the lit
tic passenger steamer st. Nicholas at Bal
timOre, and rose upon the crew and cap
tured her during the voyage, put the pas
sengers ashore without their baggage, and
ran her into Virginia waters. The exploit
was made more romantic by Col. THOMAS
Disgusting himself as a French lady for
this purpose. The victory was the more
encouraging to the Confederate heart, be-
cause of its resemblance to the stealing vic
tories which distinguish the palmy and
pure days Of the Confederate cause. 1t
showed in Colonel THOMAS a worthy son
of the sire FLOYD, who more than any one
else can be called the father of the COnfed-
crate nation.
But the end Of Col. THOMAS W II became
the brilliant exploit Of his life, for he was
captured by a Baltimore police officer, hid
away in a bureau drawer in the ladies'
cabin, in a steamer on the way to Balti
more, and is now a prisoner under the tx
cellent system of law and order which Gov.
BAYKs has bestowed on the Baltimoreans.
True to his feminine instinct, when Col.
THOMAS found that instead of taking the
boat, he was himself taken, he threw off
the Tarlike character which he had as
sumed for a moment to brighten the police
officer, and few to the ladies' cabin, and to
q bureau drawer for protection.
Old warriors at the point of death some
times desire to die in full regimentals. 1t
is the warlike instinct. So Col. THOMAS,
when he found that his brilliant race was
run, sought to resume the feminine charac
ter in which the greatest exploit of his life
was achieved. 1t was his French feminine
instinct.
Think of the hero of the capture of the
St Nicholas turned out off bureau drawer,
at the wharf at Fort McHenry, in presence
of a file of Northern soldiers; like FAIL
STAFF. turned out from Mistress PAGES
~buckbasket. covered with foul linen.
This is sad new to the Confederate heart
lately so exultant over this exploit
Stealing was, to use a phrase of the wicked
their strong suit 1t gives their cause its
early glories, and on their final persever-
ance in that they relied for ultimate tri
umph; and itgrOws more evident every day
that Southern little hands were never made
to tear the eyes of Northern soldiers, mol
to handle cold steel or deadly musket il
open combat, but were crooked for a hgh
ter fingered eampaign.-Cm Gazette.

The annual meeting Of the stockholders
of the above named road was held at their
Office to-day.
The annual report Of the President, NJ.
Kent, Esq, was presented, from which l
gather a few items.
The death of Henry DOOlittle, Esq, the
well known energetic contractor for the
work, in August last, was a serious obsta-
Gle to the prosecution Q" the enterprise, as
had been anticipated.

with James McHenry. of Liverpool, Eng

Company agree to pay him a stated sum
per mile for the construction and equip
ment of the entire road to Dayton, making
reductions, as per estimate provided for,

News from the Ohio Seventh.

Musicians Elder and Park, of EIyria'
belonging to the Ohio Seventh Regiment
Band, arrived from Western Virginia this
morning. They left Weston on Sunday
night al ten o'clock. Co. A, Capt. Crane
and Co. D. Capt. Dyer, were at Weston,
twenty-five miles South of Clarksburg-
The other companies we're at Chenille,
twenty-scven miles southeast of Weston.
The Seventh has been doing scouting du-
ty during the greater part of its stay in
Virginia. After the forced march on Wes-
ton described some time since, news
came that four companies of the Ohio Sew
enteenth were hemmed in at Glenville by
a large force of Secessionists under COM
mand of o. Jennings Wise. Col. Tyler at
once despatched two companies of the Sew
enth towards Chenille, and sent six other
companies as soon as they could be got in
from scouting duty. After a rapid march
the boy of the Seventh entered Glenville
only to learn the notifying news that the
'S~eceshers'' had again taken counsel of
their fears and ''vamosed the rancho"
Col. Tyler has made several attempts to
surround the fugitive rebels, but they are
to we'll drilled in the use of their heels
for him to effect his purpose.
The Seventh boys took possession of a
Touring mill at Chenille with a large stock
of wheat and about six thousand bushels
of corn belonging to the rebel forces
They at once went into the milling bust
ness, and are kept busy supplying the troops
in that neighborhOOd. Army wagons take
the -four to Weston where it is baked up
into bread and part sent back to Glenville
for the companies there.
At Weston the soldiers are running a
printing office, several printers being among
the men. We have seen some excellent
specimens of Blanks for Provision Re-
turns printed at the Regimental printing
office by musician Hunter. The Blanks
bear the imprint of the 18TH Ohio Regi-
ment Band print" and would do credit to
any Office.
Capt. Crane, of Co. D., has possession
of the best horse in the Regiment. 1t was
captured from the se~eessionists, and was
used by their despatch Courier. He has
also two muskets captured from the reb-
els.-Chve. Herald.
