How COLONEL CoRcoRAN Was TAKEN
Col. Corcorau, of the gallant New York sixty
ninth, who is now a prisoner at Richmond, has
written letter 10 his wife, in which he gives
the subjoined account of his capture by the
rebels =
"My regiment came off the field i'll admira-'
BILE order, and were on the road to Centervillc,
where | halted TO rest and await orders for
future action, knowing that our artillery would
need protection in returning. Two regiments
that had not been in line and were returning
in disorder hung on my flank, and when the
cavalry were seen advancing toward US, these
regiments broke precipilately through my
lines, throwing us into disorder, and caused
general flight.
l dismounted and crossed a rail fence, over
which they had gone, and got the color bearer
to halt, and called in the men to rally around
the flag but just at this moment discharge
of carbines from the pursuing cavalry and our
own artillery drowned my voice and destroyed
all my efforts TO muster the men. had only
nine men who heard me and halted, and those,
with the two officers and myself were imme-
diately surrounded, and taken to Manassas
| that night. We lett there the following morn
ing and arrived here Tuesday night"

SPIEs.--The energy of Gen. Mcclellan and
the authorities of Washington in closing the
avenues of communication between that city
and the camps of the rebels merits high praise
The next step is to make an example of the
first spy who shall be detected in conveying
intelligence of public movements to the enemy.
Col. Forney writes in a recent letter to the
Philadelphia Press of the spies who infest the
city, in the interest of the rebellion "Some
of them are ladies of high position, who,
shielding themselves behind the so.called
weakness of their sex, reject the DISCUSSES
assumed by their husbands, fathers, and
brothers, and proclaim their sympathy with
treason and the earnest hope that the cause of
our country may be defeated. In the mag
nifcent saloons and around the luxurious
tables of these people sentiments are uttered
and plans perfected Of the most atrocious
character. Midnight meetings, after the
fashion of the celebrated know nothing lodges,
are regularly held. There has been too much
leniency for this scandalous, fragrant, and
notorious ingratitude, and growing feeling
will demand the punishment of all the men
engaged in this bad business, or else their
prompt expulsion, with their families, from
this community"

MARYLAND.-We learn from private letter
received from Maryland, that Frederick City
is to be, for the present, the principal army
hospital for the troops of the upper Potomac.
1t is also TO be the headquarters for four rcgi-
ments to be raised for the federal service from
the western counties of Maryland. The
Union men on the border counties Of Virginia
who have escaped into Maryland for protec
ton, are forming companies, and are throng-
ing to Frederick to be enrolled in the Mary
land regiments. They say if the government
will supply them with arms, they will return
home and neither ask nor give quarter. They
know the secessionists and will shoot them on
sight. There are squads Of guerrias in the
who are acting on their own re-
spo1sf6iSftty rS-prowlng through the settle
ments, and robbing all except tile traitors who
are in league with them. This state of things
exists from the top of the Alleghanies to
Washington on the line of the Potomac. The
Union men who have been compelled to fly
from the robbers are now asking the govern
ment to arm them for their defense. General
Banks encampment is located in what is called
Pleasant Valley, between two mountains, with
plenty of fine spring water running down from
the heights. There is but little sickness
among the troops. Col Webster (of the
twelfth Massachusetts, has but three on the
sick list, and those were OF the mildest kind.

MIME BALL WoUNDs-A correspondent,
writing from Manassas to a Memphis paper,

the wounded prisoners taken by our army axe
not by far so dangerously hurt as the majority
from Mimic balls, which have made great
CHASTITY openings and frequently gone entirely
through the body while those upon the enemy
are with round balls, whose effects have been
less fatal"

Correspondence of the Evening Post
ST. PETERsBURG, July Is, 1S61-The new
american minister to the court of st Peters
brig, Cassius M. Clay, had his first official
Interview with the Car on Sunday, the 18th,
and presented lis own letter of credence, TO.
gther with that of the recall of Mr.. Apple.
bn, the late minister. In view of the critical
condition of affairs in the United States, the
attentions paid to Mr. Clay on this occasion
we're peculiarly gratifying. Though a minister
penipotentlary does not, in court diplomacy,
rank as high as an ambassador, Mr.. Clay was
received with all the honors and ceremonies
awarded to the latter officials. The presen,a-
tim took place at Peterhof, the summer resi-
dnce of the Cars, and the United States
Minister and his suite found the emperor's car
rige awaiting them at the railroad station.
Pinee Gortschakof, the Russian minister of
torgn affairs land brother of tile eminent
geeral, recently deceased), came from St.
PeerSburg expressly to present Mr. Clay to
TIN emperor, instead of leaving that duty
to the master of ceremonies, as is Gus
tohary. Alexander H. received the rep.
tentative of the United States at prI-
vac audience, and from the qualification the
later has expressed with his interview, have
eHry reason TO believe that the emperor an.
prciales the difference between rebellion and
re Olution, and awards his heartiest sympathies
to the federal government. Mir. Clay had
qtte prolonged interview with the emperor
an explained to him the true condition of at
fa's at home, OF which, by the way, as above
minated, the Russian monarch appeared to
hHe very fair idea. Mr.. Clay has forward
et his dispatches to Washington, where they
wi doubtless be received with interest.
