The battle at Edwards Ferry was a much
more >anguinary struggle than We knew CT
one week ago. II was in reality dsheart-
ening repulse. 1t is the same old sickening
story of laundering on the part of the fede
raj officers. i small detachment of 100
good and true men were thrown across the
Potomac into the very clutches of at least
5000 rebels. Oar troops fought valiently--
desperately. There was no chance Of escape.
On three sides were an overwhelming force
of rebels. advancing upon them gradually
but surely. and az their backs was the Poto-
mac river. and no means 81 crossing it, y

member to have read Of. The consequence
was Massachusetts and New York men were
shot down Ike sheep, the enemy having ev-
cry advantage in position as well as in num-
berS, ard firing from the woods and we'll pro-
tected places upon our troops who were at
al times exposed to their destructive fire
In the retreat, many who attempted TO swim
tae river were either shot from the Virginia
shore or drowned in the swollen stream We
trust It Is the last time cur men will be lead
into battle without a chance to retreat.

The Naval Expedition.

1t is not unlikely that ere this the srea,
naval expedition has started from Hampton
Roads on its mission. Very fall details OF
It's composition are published in the New
York papers for the b nttt Of all concerned
we supno>e-rebels as well as loyal citizens.
From these details it is apparent that the ar
NADIA is one Of inn o>ng magnitude. 1t con-
>ists in all of eighty vessels. o! these three
are steam fri gates, SIX others are sailing men
ot-war, twenty SIX are gun-boats, twelve fer
~ boats, and thirty steam and six sailing
transports. Not less than five hundred surf
boats are taken to land the troops Tie ma
val part of the expedition is under command
of Commodore J. +. Dupont, a native Of
New Jersey, but now a citizen of Delaware.
The fleet captain is Commander Charles H..
Paws, a native of Massachusetts, Capt L..
VI. Goldsboroush, who is in command of the
northern half of the Atlantic blockading
squadron, will also take an active part in
aiding the expedition. The land force con-
si>ts Of between 10000 and 10000 picked
soldiers, under the command of General
Thomas W. Sherman. The land force is
divided into three brigades, which are CON-
manded respectively by Gen. Egbert L..
Niele, cassmate of Gen. Mcclellan at West
Point; Gen. Isaac Ingalls, Stevens, gradu-
ate Of West Point in 1889, and Gen. Hora-
ito Gates Wright, a graduate of West Point
in 1887.
The troops are chiefly from New York.

Sherman's famous battery is included in the

been taken, and also a number of skillful and
trusty coas,ing captains from Cape Cod aud
along the shore. OF horses the expedition
has nearly fifteen hundred. \ great number
OF army wagons arc provided, over and
above those which belong to each regiment,
and which the troops took away with them.
Extra camp equipage Of every description is
also provided, and great number of extra
arms and infantry equipments. To drive
the extra transport wagons the government
enlisted in New York nearly two hundred
professional stage drivers. a curious item in
the stores carried by the expedition consists
in several hundred footballs These were

Suffers and Financial Agents.

AS the appointment of financial agent by

intelligent war correspondent of the News

O. The news which W. get from Mont
pesr by telegraph is interesting. The com
mlttee to whom was referred that part of Gov
Fairbanks message which relates to military
affairs made a report yesterday. They had
partially examined the accounts. and found
them carefully kept and journalized by Geo
\. Merrill, Esq. Secretary of Civil and Mill

amount, something more than one hundred
thousand dollars remained to be arranged.
Thus the manner in which the accounts
have been kept seems to be satisfactory. and

Overland Telegraph to the Pacific Conn

The DEATH OF Col BAKER.-It will be no.
ticed that there is quite discrepancy in tn,
accounts of the death of this brave officer
One account says he was on foot, cheering
on his men, when a rebel rode up and shot
him with revolver. Another represents
that whole company of rihemen made him
their target, and that he fell from his hors,
pierced by at least eight balls. Still another
account says he was shot with his shoulder
at the wheel of a cannon, enceavoring to
push il forward. 1t makes but little differ
ence how he was killeG,-the painful fact
that he is dead is sufficient. He was
undoubtedly the target for sharp-shooters
from the enemy, as indeed all our officers
seem to be. They have marvellous faculty
Of picking off our brave and efficient leaders.

gram, by which the rebels will be the los

! To the Editor Of tie Cule,?oniop:
The great excitement of the week is tn.
Insolvency Bill. After desperate struggle
it passed the Senate yesterday by a vote Of
IT. to II. II must now have its time of trav
AL IN the House and will probably be takel,
up there tomorrow. The principal advan.
tages OF the bill are that it gives debtor who
has property enough to pay fifty cents on a
dollar an opportunity to offer all his proper
ty to his creditors and obliSe them to give
HIM therefor receipt in full and that i,
furnishes shorter way for the now tedious
process OF making an assignment The pro
bate courts are all made courts of Insolvency
so that they hold jurisdiction over life and
death. 1t will save many debtor from be-
ing make the victim of rush" as the credi-
tor who gets the first attachment has no adj
vantage over the others. Besides it is a
matter of policy with the creditors to save
the debtor costs as it must come out of their
pockets if he petitions for certificates in lnsol-
vency.
But there are disadvantages which it brings.
1t offers strong temptations to an unscrupu-
lous debtor to convert his effects quietly into
cash and offer the leayngs to his creditors
for his whole estate. They are bound to
give him discharge if he pays half his debts
though his pockets were lined with gold. To
be sure the law has anticipated this and
guarded itself clearly against such frauds but
it is an impossibiity to make it secure. |

evil to be committed then its absence would
leave of good omitted. l was glad to see
