Army Signals,

Efforts are being made to perfect the de-
partment of our military service known as the
Army Signal Corps. These efforts are under
the direction of kdjutant General Thomas
who is exhibiting his accustomed energy and
prudence in this matter. One corps is station
ed on the Capitol one on the hill west of
Georgetown and a third on the observatory
huilt by General Morrill, ,on Miners HiliI-the
distance between the first two being three
miles. and the latter two six miles BY means
of certain appliances. messages are sent and
received as uccesSfuIly-although hardly as
rapidy-as by electric telegraph. Yesterday
n further test was made by General Thomas
from number OF different points 1t is sup
posed, from the success with which these ex-
periments are attended, that this Army
Signal Corps will be made distinct and
permanent branch Of the service The corps
at present consists, we understand, of forty
first and second lieutenants, selected from var.
ions regiments The signals are used as we'll
for night as for day Instructions 10 the sig.
nols are to be confined solely to adjutant8 Of

THE LATEST WAR NEWS.

The news from Charleston is highly impo"t.
ant. A most destructive fire broke out on the
night Of the lth inst, and up TO our last ad-
vices all the business portion of the city,
with most Of the churches and public build
ings, had been destroyed This visitation
is variousIy attributed to accident and to poor
white and co!ored incendiarcS There are
also rumorS Of a negro inSurrectiou, and that
arms had been found secreted in the dwellings
of the slaves. 1t is added that the insurrec-
tion was promptly suppressed, but another re.
port has it that the outbreak among the slaves
occurred in the interior of the State two DAYS
before the FIRE, and was still unchecked
Capt. Rathbone, of the steam transport Hi
nois, reports that on Thursday night, at 10
o'clock, when he passed Charleston, on his
way up from Port Royal, the whole city was
on fire, presenting q spectacle awfully sub
lime.
From the same source we learn that on
Wednesday last, when the Illinois left, all the
islands adjacent to Port Royal were occupied
by our troops, and that they had succeeded in
securing $4,000, 600 worth of cotton. The
health of the troops was remarkably fine, and
the weather very pleasant
From Syracuse, Missouri, ne learn that the
Union troops in that vicinity, under Gen Pope
are kept pretty actively employed in securing
the country and as the rebels never know
where they are going TO strike they are doing
good work 10 driving out the marauders-
Gen. Price is represented as being on his last
legs, bis men leaving him in large numbers,
and brighter prospect is dawning upon the
Union cause. Gems. Reins aud Stein, with
5000 rebel troops, were said to be in posses
sion of Lexington on Friday, and re-enforce,
ments were expected Gen. Prentiss was said
to be on the North side of the river, with
5000 United States troops, and bad thrown a
few shells among the rebels, aud destroyed one
of their two feIry-boats. 1t was also vaguely
reported that heavy firing had been heard at
Lexington, indicating an engagement The
Rebel Captain Sweeney, with SO prisoners,
members of his gHng, reached ST. Louis on
Saturday. Gen Haleck's orders relative to
assessments upon rebels for the benefit of refu-

TOW ANDA
THE NEWS FROM ENGLAND.

The country will this morning be startled
by the intelligence that contrary to the intel
Igence brought by the steamer of last week
the British Government have determined tC
demand the release of Mason and SlideIl, and
an apology for their arrest by Capt. Wilkes
Our dates are to the 4th inst, seven days la
ter. The question had been submitted to the
Law Officers of the Crown, and they had de-
cideG that the action of Capt. Wilkes of the
San Jacinto was unjuo tGable. He had nc
right to arrest peaceful passengers, sailing uR
der the British flag, from one neutral port to
another, and the deed he has committed
amounts to a fragrant violation of the code
OF nations, and direct insult to the country.
A Privy Council had been held at Windsor
on Saturday, Nov. 80, and the Europa was
detained for twelve hours at Queenstown till
the arrival of the messenger from the Qneer
to Lord Lyons, with the British ultimatnm.-
Should the United States Gov ernment decline
to yield mp the Confederate Emissaries and
make the requisite apology, it is understood
that Lord Lyons is instructed to return home.
The news created great sensation in Paris
and it was reported, that Napoleon had in
structed the press to write up the British side
of the question. 1t was understood that a
perfect understanding existed between England
and France in relation to this matter, and ac-
cordng to the Patrie, the latter only awaited
the lead of England to recognize the Southern
Confederacy. A brief dispatch reported that
Louis Napoleon had offered to mediate be.
tween England and this country and the latest
adviceS affirm that the French Government is
in no hurry to recognize the Coufederates,
since an amiCabIe adjustment is not improba.
BILE. The German press sides with England
The only moderate views which have found
public expression in England appear in Tn
Star which declares that the ,tatcmentt as
TO the tenor Of the instructions to Lord Lyons
are premature, and 50 exaggerated as to be
virtually untrue, while John Bright and Rich.
ard Cobden counsel suspension of judgement
scouting the idea that the American Cabinet
had resolved to pick a quarrel with England.
A letter from Gen Scott, 10 favor of maintain
ing friendly relation between the two coun-
tries, was exciting much attention.
In this emergency we do not presume to
say what the Government should or should not
do. Whatever course it may adopt will be
determined by mature and careful considcra
ton of all the rights and dulies of the case
Meanwhile, the first and most pressing of our
duties is to finish the Rebellion and thr bLatkaat
At onos, By employing the promptesl and most ,tI,
cdclOUs means.

THE PIRATE SUMTER.

New YORK Dec. l3, 1861
The brig s. W. Rowland, Capt Rowland,
arrived here last night, from St. Thomas, Nov
9th.
Captain Rowland states that the captain of
the Iroquos is entirely to blame for the escape
Of the pirate Sumter at Port Royal and Mar
tiDque
A man was sent ashore at Port ROYAL from
the island to signaze the movements of the
Sumter, and on the night of the 231 he made
signal that she was leaving the harbor. but
no notice was token by the Captain of the
Iroqus His First Lieutenant tried to purSuade
him to give chase, which could easily have been
done, and the pirate captured as she draws
d foot more of water than the Iroqus, but
he would not hear to it, saving it would be
very unpleasant for him to capture her as he
and Semmes had been schoolmates. aud Sem
mes had been his former superior officer also
that be did not want to break the neutrality
laws TIE movements Of the Sumter were
plainly seen from the deck of the IrOouis the
former taking a sOutherIy course. The Capt.
OF the IroquOis then gave orders to proceed to
St. Thomas not making the least effort to
capture the pirate after having been lying off
the port several days for that sole parpose -
On these facts becoming kuown at St Thomas
the greatest Indignation prevailed among
Americans in port and others friendly to the
United States.

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
ANOTHER BLUNDER IN KENTUCKY.

ANOTHER BLUNDER IN KENTUCKY.
The lust bunder in Kentucky was that made
bg Capt Dillon, which resulted in leaving, The
way open, whereby the forces Of the enemy ,un-
der Zolicofer. 10000 strong, secured foot
ing on the north side Of the Cumberland river,
below Somerset, compelling our troops to fall
back and take a defensive position.
It appears that Gen. Shoepf learned of the
enemy's designs. and ordered Captain Dillon,
with one company of Kentucky cavalry, to pro-
ceed Immediately to Mills Springs. fourteen
miles distant, which was the threatened point,
sending the l7th Ohio, Col ConneII and a bat
tery of artillery, in the resr, with orders to
reach the spot as soon as possible.
Notwithstanding it vas known that the
enemy contemplated crossing that night, and
that great haste was necessary, Captain Dillon
halted his men, after proceeding seven miles,
and encamped and when the infantry aud ar
hllery camp up, they followed his example, and
the result was, that by sunrise the next morn
ing the enemy was north Of the river in full
force and our troops returned to headquarters
Ae Gen. Shoepf had bat about three thousand

Somerset, intreneh himself, and await reinforce.

We wonder how long the service is to snffer

Both soldiers and citizens complain OF Gen

and on the assumption is thus subjected TO for,
feture of his house property. OF course, when
the Congressional Committee shall have ver-
