From WASHINGTON SUNDAY.

Andrew johnson and three friends with
him were fired on, while coming here, by fit-
teen Virginians, at Cumberland Gap. None
of them were injured. MIR. johnson thinks
that with fair canvass and six weeks time
the whole OF Tennessee could be carried Tor
the Union. Both the Tennessee and Ken
lucky Unionists want arms. Could the Vir-
ginia and Tennessee Railroad he possessed by
the government, and a daily mail via Cumber
land Gap be instituted, it would materially as
sist the Unionsts and prevent the Transports
ton of southern troops into Virginia. A trav-
eler from Richmond Saturday says that 40 900
troops are marching from thence toward Man
assas Junction probably an over-estimate.
The rebel troops are very impatient to make
an attack.
Col Stone has sent for reintorcements, as
the traitors are erecting battery on the other
side of the Potomac which threatens his camp.
Consul Spencer at Paris, in consequence of
traitorous procivities, has been ordered to
close his consulate and deposit his papers

1t is understood that Gen. Dix assumes
command on the other side OF the Potomac.
Government has appointed a commission to
inspect all provisions for the subsistence Of the
army.
The state department has been advised that
Beauregard's force has been moved from Ma
naSSas to Fairfax Court House. IL is reported
that batteries are being erected by the rebels
at Matthias Point; also one near Falls Church.
Two telegraph officers have arrived, who rep
resent thai numbers of nOrtherners have join
ed the rebel army, as the only means of getting
near the lines, where they intend leaving for
a free country. They report that communica-
ton with the south is kept open at Louisville,
whence great quantities of provisions, ammn-
milton, &C., are sent to the rebel army.
The whole force on the other side of the Pc
tomac was on the alert all last night but ev-
erything was quiet The pickets were dou-
bled, aud scouting parties went out in every
direction between the chain bridge and Alex
andria. 1t is reported that Beauregard has
recommended system of guerilla warfare, and
urges the rebels to engage the outposts at ev-
ery opportunity. The roads from Fairfax to
Manassas junction are dotted with masked
batteries.
Private letters from England say large num-
bers of privateers were being fitted out there
and that the American residents were urging
our minister to call the attention OF the BRUSH
government to the fact

sEwALL,s poIxr DEsERrERs.

WASHINGTON, Friday 21.-By a special
messenger from fortress Monroe, have some
intelligence OF importance. Two men OF
Massachusetts birth, who have re sided for
some years in Macon, Ga. and who were
pressed into the ranks of the Macon volunteers
serving at SewalPs Point, succeeded yester-
day in affecting their escape. Under the pre-
tense of crab fishing, they borrowed a boat of
an old negro, and after rounding the point
leisurely, made straight for fortress Monroe.
Their object was discovered, for a company
was drawn up from the waters edge and or
dered to fire. They, however, were out of
range. When within sight of the flagship
Minnesota they hoisted signal of distress.
Commodore Stringham Immediately dispatch
ed life boat to their aid.
To the Commodore, and to General Butler,
they made statements. 1t seems that the bat,
terry at Sewall's Point is composed of five Co
lumbiads, six pieces OF smaller bore, and three
rifed cannon-in all IA guns. Between the
Point and Norfolk are two other batteries,
formed of the stolen guns from the navy yard.
At Sewall's Point there are 500 men at Nor
folk $4,000 men, most OF them being under
orders for Richmond; and at intermediate
points about 2000 Among them are 1900
South Carolinians, two full regiments from
Louisiana, and one from Georgia. The three
last have been SO much dissatisfied with their
treatment ana probable destiny, tnaI Howell
Cobb, who has two sons in the Georgia regi-
ment, was sent for from Richmond to address
them lie babe them be of good courage, and
pledged his word OF honor, that, within three
months, the confederate army would not only
occupy Washington, but would subdue the
entire Union forces of the north
Gov Pickens has issued proclamation for
bidding any more South Carolina troops from
leaving the Palmettodom. He expresses the
belief that the northern hordes contemplate an
invasion of the sacred soil of South Caro-
lima via Charleston, and says the first duty of
| South Carolina is TO the state. This is the
legitimate beginning OF the end. Beef is sell
ing at Norfolk at fifty cents pound, or $50
score" as my informant expressed it, But
ter sells at 81 per pound.
When Georgia was electing delegates to its
secession convention, one entire company OF
| the Macon voluuteers-a regiment existing for
| years in the city of Macon-voted unanimous
| ly against the secession candidate. When the
1 war commenced this company was sent To
| Pensacola, and made to work on the entrencll-
ments, side by side with negroes. They were
| mostly men of northern birth. The company
! is yet at Pensacola, virtually prisoners, while
: the remainder of the regiment is at Norfolk.

explorer Of Africa delivered lecture on Tho
Moral and Social Relations of the Africans" at the
Antioch Baptist Church in Seventh avenue, to an
attentive and numerous audience. The lecturer Set
forth the claims of the African FOR rights and
privileges like otherm in other nations, in man
ner at once clear and forcible He cited numerous
instances Of great aptitude for the requirement Of all
the ofer habits peculiar to the civilized races and
demonstrated that where they had enjoyed the OPP
portunties of enforcement they had invariably
shown that they were not an exception to the most
cultivated races He claimed that, with the fame
opportunities and immunies as other races, COM
bned with the vast resources Of the African CONT
tinent they bid fair to develop history that would
rank them not second to any nation people on the

CiEO, Dec. 5, 1861.
The telegraph frequently transmits you all the
particulars OF minor events that can send you by
letter; OF greater events it give you imperfect
and sometimes erroneous accounts; but in gathering
scattered facts which bear upon one important
point and in forming clear and decisive conclusion
you depend upon the more tardy mail. When eur
Generate make report Of "a battle, they find that
enterprising daily journals have anticipated them,
and that what they do present is read by critical
public ready to judge, because it learn but little
that is new.
Gen. Smith commands at Padncab. Last week q
Secession flag was raised on house at that place.
1t was taken down by the Indiana Zouaves, and the
Union flag put in its place. Gen. Smith made OBJ
jections, ana there was q great tumult, so far az
we can learn and il is not denied he objected be-
cause the soldiers acted without authority, and be-
cause they invaded the privacy of a household
There seemed TO DO no one in the command ready to

the excitement, was knocked down. BY the efforts
If Gen. Wallace terrible excitement was allayed,
and now the Star Spangled Banner yet waves'
where the Indiana boys placed it. Gen. Smith comes
out in print, in this affair; he speaks of 81 years
service in the United States army, and of his devo-
ton to bis country, but he regrets that insubordna.
ton should exist in his command; still, as the mat.
ter is Of small moment, he will lot it pass.
Iregret to say that this event has rericed whispers
regarding Gen. Smiths loyalty. People are sus-
peious, for we have had traitors in the West and it
is remembered how the evidences Of their dsloyalty
were disregarled. But, let Gen. Smith be ever so
loyal, there are some things to which our soldiers
will not submit, and their officers lose time, at least,
in trying to make them .pbmit in tome respects
