The Rebel Iron. Glad Vessel.

For some time the people of New Orleans
have been threatening that they would break
the blockade and destroy our vessels, and to
prove that they meant what they said, they
set about constructing vessel that was to
effect this object, though they were some,
what troubled as to the shape, size, &C., that
this affair was to be. The name she was to
be called also disturbed them much, and at
last it became known to the people as "the
thing or 'the nondescript." The dispatch
states that "our iron steamer sunk the PrebIe
with her iron plow," and as it was the inten-
tion of the rebels to cover this vessel with
armor, it may have been the same one that
was building; but this is hardly probable, as
it was launched but short time ago, and
could hardly have been got ready in so short
q time. "
The great probability is that their IRON
clad steamer, with which they claim to have
done so much damage, isithe propeller Eaoeh
Train, formerly of Boston-a vessel that was
purchased by some New Orleans merchants
for the purpose of towing, on account of her
great strength, she having immense power
in small compass. When we heard fom
her last they were encasing her with railroad
iron and adding to her bow a strong iron
PROV for pushing or smashing against YES
sci. The Enoch Train is a propeller of al
most four hundred tuns burden, is one hun
dred and tWenty-eight feet long, twenty. six
feet wide and twelve feet depth Of hold. This
was her measurement before being altered
by the rebels. She was built in 1855, aud
was strong, though not very fast boat.
The other vessels composing the rebel feet
we are, of course, at the present time unac-
quainted with, but there are a number OF
steamers at New Orleans that could be con-
verted into gun-bOats, had they the proper
armament to place on board This, however,
is wanting and renders them useless.

AMERICAN INTERVENTION IN MExIco.--It is
possible, and more than probable, that the
Mexican Government will ask the mediation
of the United States to settle the troubles
between Mexico and the European powers
1t is possible, also, that the Mexican Govern.
ment may ask the Government of the United
States to become the custodian or trustee of
certain properties and revenues and to pay
therefron the interest and principal of her
Indebtedness TO European capitalists, the
United States guaranteeing not only the
proper collection and application OF the rev.
enues, but also their sufficieney to meet
the obligations imposed upon them. think
the Government OF the United States has in
formally expressed friendship for the pres
ent Government of Mexico, and awillingness
TO do any thing that is proper and feasible TO
insure her exemption from the dangers by
which she is menaced. understand further,
that some American capitalists have already
initiated and nearly perfected arrangements
by which they will at once advance any sum
which our Government may desire to faeili-
tate the settlement of the matter.-NeO RorG

How the Army of the Potomac is Supplied
with Bread.

The great army bakery, carried on in the
exterior vaults of the Capitol, is an establish
ment of considerable interest. 1t is under the
control of Lieutenant Thomas Gate, Twelfth
Infantry, United States Army, who served
three months in the Massachusetts Sixth
Regiment which was, for time, quartered
in the Capitol. When the necessity of
bakery was apparent, the lieutenant promptly
offered his services to build the ovens and
so we'll did he execute his trust that the War
Department thought proper to retain him as
the superintendent with the rank of First
Lieutenant in the regular army.
He has employed about one hundred and
seventy hands-s day squad and night
squad. They nearly all sleep in the building,
and are furnished their meals from an ample
kitchen. Immediately adjoining the kitchen
are the dining. g.rooms, and the shining tables
and clean floors bear testimony to the pro-
priety of the arrangements generally By
this bakery the defenders of our common
country are supplied with pure, wholesome,
fresh bread, the same as is obtained from the
city bakers; and any one who has en-
deavored to masticate the hard ship biscuit,
formerly served out to the soldiers, will, in
an instant, see the benefits derived from this
army bakery. In its employ are twelve
wagons, which are constantly going forth
with fresh bread for the soldiers this side the
Potomac, carrying daily some fifty-eight
thousand loaves. Each loaf when delivered
10 the soldier, weighs twenty two ounces,
amply sufficient for a days rations.
The bakery consumes one hundred and
forty barrels of -four per day, and it is such
flour as our citizens usually purchase home
for consumption. Attached to the bakery is
yeast. room, where are kept constantly em.
ployed eight men, who furnish yeast sut-
ficient obtained principally from twenty
four bushels of Irish potatoes) for the i'm
mense amount of dough daily made up and
consumed. The internal arrangements of
this bakery must be seen TO be appreciated.
The workmen are quiet courteous, and indus
trious, and q visitor TO the Capitol would be
unaware of the unceasing industry carried on
beneath him if his attention was not called to
the fact.
The ovens are large and we'll built, aud are
each capable of baking about four thousand
three hundred loaves of bread every twenty.
four hours. From personal observation of
the manner in which the dough is worked,
we can safely recommend it as being equal
to any bread made in the District. With
such food our volunteers are we'll satisfied,
and, thus invigorated, each man feels himself
prepared for all the perils of the campaign,
and for the victory inprospect. National In

The Rebels Leaving their Summer Quar-
lera

DARNEsTowN, October lS-A gentleman
from Berlin says intelligence had reached
Point Of Rocks that the enemy's forces which
retreated TO the foot of the mountain of the
Shenandoah Valley on the approach of the
sickly season, along the river line, have left
their retreats, and are now pushing for the
Potomac in large numbers. It is stated that
they had reached Charlestown, and would
make their appearance at some ford or cross
ing on the Upper Potomac. Should this in
telligence he confirmed ii is not unlikely we
may have some serious encounters next week.
A ride from Great Falls to Edwards's Ferry
yesterday proved that all was quiet on that
frontier. Heavy and continuous firing was
heard here yesterday morning and forenoon,

Southern Troubles.

Colonel Forney writes to the Philadelphia
Press; -
saw a Southern man yesterday, who pre-
diets that if Mcclellan defeats Beauregard
the whole traitors conspiracy will fall like a
card castle, and that thousands now held, as it
were, in chains and forced to sing hosannahs
to men and to measures they despise, will
break into loud and irresistible complaints.
Nothing is more confrmatory of these
general views than the tone of such of the
Secession papers as have been able TO glance
over. Although filed with brutal articles
against the "Lincoln army" and "the
Yankees" it is common thing to see in the
columns of the Charleston Mercury, the New
Orleans PieGgttAs, and the Montgomery Ad-
Vsrtissr, the most malignant sneers at the
want Of tact, system and integrity in the
self constituted Administration of the Con-
federacy. The breakup in the poi,tal system
is felt almost as keenly as the want Of NOR ey
and of the necessaries Of life-lncludin cloth
ing, sugar, coffee, &c. rrea
All the sound banks in the South are ter
ror-stricken, not knowing the hour when the
bandits will plunder them, as they plundered
the Federal Treasury, and 1t Is shreWedly
auTmised that these institutions would much
rather see Twiggs scourged out Of New
Orleans and the Federal army enter It with
colors fly ing than 10 suffer as they do. They
feel that their money is much safer in the
vaults of the Federal Treasury than in the
hands of the reckless robbers like hcOulloch
and Floyd,

More FiehtIUg on the Upper Potomac.

BALTIMORE, October ls.-A gentleman di
rect from Harper's Ferry announces that the
rebels have again appeared on Linden and
Bolivar Highs, and this morning renewed
the attack on the Union forces under Major
Gould, with artillery. Major Gould fred
upon them with canister from the columbiad
which was captured on Tuesday, and drove
them back, but not until the vandals had
burned the mill of A. II. Herr, Esq, and took
the miller prisoner, whom they charged with
giving information to the Union troops of
the twelve thousand bushels of wheat being
brought there to grind.
The firing there was progressing when our
informant left, and women and children were
fleeing in great terror to the Maryland Shore
in anticipation of the town being burned
Major Gould was throwing shot and she'll
from the Maryland Hights after the rebels,
and was confident that he could keep them
off until reinforcements could reach him.

Interesting from Hnrper's FerrY-DetaIIs
of the Battle MT Boliyar

BALTIMORE, October lS.-A gentleman who
spent the whole Of yesterday at Harper's
Ferry, says that the accounts published there
of the fght on Wednesday are in the main
correct. The cannon captured is fue new
siege gun, well mounted and in good order,
with the exception of fracture above the
axles. During the night II was stationed
near the abutment of the bridge, and when it
was about being retaken by the rebels ten
penny nail was driven, which has already
been drawn out. The Rhode Island Battery
did not participate in the fight. They were
stationed onthe Maryland Nights, aud found
it impossible to discriminate in the distance
between friend and foe. The fight lasted
from eight A. M. till two P. NJ. 1t was a
regular skirmish, with varying results, the
rebels, when hard pressed, retreating into
the woods, and at other times driving the
Federal troops back into Bolivar, the main
fight being beyond that town on the road to
Charlestown. AT two o'clock Colonel Geary
advanced with three pieces of cannon, which
soon silenoed the guns of the enemy, putting
the entire force to fight. A Chaplain OF the
rebels who was taken prisoner says that be-
fore he was captured eiRhty-seven killed and
wounded had been carried from the field.
There was nothing positively known as to
Colonel Ashley's being killed. 1t was not
generally credited. An officer supposed to
be him was shot during the final retreat of
the enemy.
The Federal troops remained on the field
all Wednesday night and yesterday morning,
having brought across the river the remain
der of the thousand bushels of wheat captured
from the rebel militia department., which
they were about transporting to Leesburg.
An order was given for the whole force to
retire to the Maryland side.
There is no news from there this morning
as to whether the threat of the rebels was
carried out or not.
The river is still too high to ford, and the
troops were conveyed across in scows. The
prisoners admit that their force was two
thousand, while the whole Federal force was
four hundred and sixty. ..
The change that has taken place in Har-
per's Ferry and the thriving village of Boli-
var is represented as most sad and shocking
Ruin is everywhere visible, and the inhabit-
ants are bowed down with sorrow.
Colonel McKaig, State Senator from
Allegheny County, who was arrested some

arrived here yesterday, in violation of his
pledge. He was arrested last night at his

Another pamphlet has made its appearance

Another pamphlet has made its appearance
in France, entitled The Rhine and the VistuIa,
ascribed to high source. 1t is devoted TO
an argument that France does not want the
Rhine, and that, consequently, Germany has
nothing to fear from her; but as Russia has
designs in the direction of the Vistula, Ger
many should encourage q reconstruction of
Poland. The pamphlet is regarded as an
effort to propitiate the King Of Prussia on his
approaching visit to the French Emperor.
Considerable agitation existed in some of the
Paris faubourgs on account of the high price
of bread. Seditious plaeards were numerous
and some arrests had been made. Forty
thousand workmen are stated to be out of
employment in Lyons, and the authorities
were taking measures to provide for them.
The Paris money market was IN q very un-
certain state. A protracted Cabinet Council
had been held, at which the Emperor pre-
sided, and at which gain and bread furnished
the principal topics of discussion.
