Further Details of the Battle at Wen
na,-Names of Ohio Troops Killed
and Wounded
WASHINGTON, June l8.

The Ohio Regiment, which was attacked
at Vienna, was on q train for the protec.
ton of telegraph corps, engaged in erecting
telegraph line, and all were unaware Of
the masked batteries which were planted
in the woods and surrounding hills. The
batteries are still there, but it is under
stood an attempt to take them will be made
during the day.
Eight of the Ohio soldiers, who were
shot by the rebels have since died. Six
expired last night and two this morning.
No blame attached to Gen. Schenck, the
commander of the Federal troops for it is
stated that he acted under the positive
orders of Gen. Mcdowell.
The names of the killed at Vienna are:
Co. G-John Barnes; of Waverly, Ohio,
Daniel Sullivan, Phillip Strobe, Thomas
Fenton, JOS Smith, Eugene Burk; Co. H
II. Mercer and Geo. Morrison.
The wounded are; Co. G--Vol-
mer, fatally; David Gates, hand shot off,
- Lanmon, badly wounded; Co. H
Henry Pigman, badly.
The attack commenced shortly before z
P. M. The late hour accounts for the
failure of the enemy to pursue; doubtless
expecting a strong Federal force near.
Gen. Schenck, with sword drawn, bold
ly threw himself between the batteries and
his men, giving his orders in cool and
deliberate manner, and telling the boys
that Ohio expected them to do their duty.
If the train had advanced 100 yards
farther the loss of life would have been
terrible, and the entire expedition made
prisoners by the enemy.
When the End Ohio Regiment received
marching orders this morning, every in
mate of the hospital left the sick bed and
joined the ranks. The encampmcnt at
Falls Church was Immediately placed in
telegraphic communication with headquar-
ters. Movements on both sides indicate
that the scene of active operations is to be
shifted to this vicinity.
1t is untrue that no previous reconnois-
ance had been made where the fight took
place at Vienna. The same train had not
only proceeded some or 4 miles beyond
the scene Of the conflict some days before,
but our scouts had been over the very
ground on which the batteries were cree
ted. The battery consisted of six pound.
ers, which fred seven. rounds. The first
being the most destructive, scattering
round shot and grape into the passenger
and platform cars. which contained four
companies of the lst Ohio REGIMENT. The
battery was on hill, almost perpcndicu-
larly over the track, and it would have
been folly to attempt to take aim. The
troops were therefore compelled to make a
hasty retreat. s..,

"Let Those Laugh Who Win"

1t will be recollected that when Presi-
dent Lincoln's Proclamation, requiring the
rebels to throw down their arms and re-
new allegiance to the Constitutional au-
thorities, and calling for $4,000 men to
assist the Government in the execution Of
the laws, jeff Davis and his pirate Cabi-
net we're moved to boisterous laughter
They thought this official action of Mr..
Lincoln prime joke. They are begin
ming to see, however, that theirs was gra-
tuitous cachination. Pirate JEFF. has in
distinct visions Of another kind of contor-
ton of features than that produced by
laughing The wisdom of the old saw we
have above quoted is forcing itself upon
rebel observation.
In no instance since this causeless, wick
ed rebellion took on tangible form have
the traitors shown that sagacity and intre-
pidity with which party, however pow
erful, can only hope to succeed. After
months of constant and unresisted prepa-
ration, seven or eight thousand rebel troops,
well provided with material of war, ven-
tured to attack a besieged and starving
garrison of seventy Federal troops. What
was there daring or sagacious in the re-
duction of Sumter? And what was there
gained by the conquest? The holding Of
il by the Government had come to be en-
irely q question Of honor. 1t had ceased
to be point of value to the United States.
SO that in their blind fury, the rebel mob
struck blow which could not possibly do
them any good or the Government any
harm, while the effect was to unite nine
teen millions of people against them, who,
taking the Federal Government into their
hands, as an instrument of destruction,
are about to wipe them out. A wise Gen
eral would have directed that Sumter
stand unharmed, and that its garrison, as
usual, be supplied with provisions, &c.
Had this course been adopted, the North
would have slumberOd on and Washington
might possibly have been the rebel head
quarters this day. A 'AA
When Sumter fell the secession mob
=. could scarcely be restrained from pouncing
' 1t once upon Pickens-which stood equal
ly with Sumter, a menace and insult to
Southern independence ce-and wiping it
from the face of Southern soil, But South
ern treason halted, and meanwhile, before
its Tremendous leaders could realize what
was going on, the fort was heavily rein
forced; and at this very hour. the chagrin-

A Bankrupt City.

New Orleans, as we learn from late New
Orleans papers, is bankrupt city. At a
meeting of the Board of Aldermen. on the
10Th inst, the Chairman Of the Finance
Committee stated to the Board, that "the
city was dead broke, and that he could moi
see financial daylight" Another Alder
man, of large property, resigned his seat,
and the Finance Committee reported in fa.
vor of suspending all new works to relieve
the finances Of the city in that quarter
The Delta, commenting on the city's ad.
mitted bankruptcy, exposes another source
of anxiety. A large number of tax-pay-
ers, it says, are, at the present time, ''ut-
terly destitute Of the means necessary to
pay taxes on their small property" and
should the time for payment not be extend.
ed, many will be compelled "to allow their
homesteads to pass under the hammer Of
the sheriff"
The Delta alleges that the bankruptcy
of the city, though "little over four months
of this year have passed" is largely ow-
ing to expenditures in furthering the mill
tary movements set on foot since the Sc.
cession of the State; but it is evident that
the utter destruction Of her credit and bu.
siness, as the inevitable result of Seces-
sion, is the real cause Of the bankruptcy
of the Crescent City, and the destitutior
to which large portion of her people are
now exposed h.t.I

The Baby.

The following extract from DR.. Hollands
poem of Bitter Sweet" Its simplicity, and
its graceful, natural air, touches the heart at
once: ..r..s .ir
What lie the little one thinking aboutS
Very wonderful things, no doubt,
Unwritten history
Unfathomable mystery ..A
Yet he laughs and cries and cats and drinks,
And chuchles and crows, and mods and winks,
AS if his head were full of kinks,
Aud curious riddles as any sphinx
Warped by collie, and wet by tears, ..
Punotured by pins and tortured by fears,
Our little nephew will lose two years;
And he'll never know
Where the summers GO
He need not laugh, for he'll find it go
Who can tell what baby thinks ''.H
Who can follow the gossamer links
By which the manikin feels his way
Out from the shore of the great unknown.
Blind, and wailjpg, and alone,
Into the light of day p ....a.
Out from the shore of the unknown sea,
Tossing in pitiful agony
OF the unknown sea that reels and rolls,
Specked with the barks Of little souls
Barks that were launched on the other side,
Aud slipped from Heaven on an ebbing tide.
What does he think Of his mothers eyes
What does he think Of his mothers hair
What of the cradle roof that flies
Forward and backward through the air
What does he think of his mothers breast
Bare and beautiful, smooth and white,
Seeking it ever with fresh delight Ht'.
Cup of his life and couch of his rest
What does he think when her quick embrace
Presses his hand and buries his face,
Deep where the heart-throbs sink and swell
With q tenderness she can never tell,
Though she murmur the words
OF all the birds
Words she has learned TO murmur well
Now he thinks he'll go to sleep
can see the shadow creep
Over his eyes, in soft eclipse,
Out to his little fnger-tips!
Softly sinking, down he goes
Down he goes Down he goes .r
See He is hushed in sweet repose

action, more or less decisive, in relation to the
grave and al-important question of secession.

Convention, which is convoked for the 23d of this

resolution passed by the Board of Bishops has
been published in some of the city papers, which
reads follows
ReSored, That in judgment, there was no action
of the late General Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church which changed the terms of membership in said
Church,
Aside from the fact that the General Conference
declared that the decisions of the Bishops care not
to be regarded as having the force of law outside
OF the Annual Conferences the above decision is
too ambiguous to serve any good purpose. 1t plays
into the hands of two parties those who claim that

Editors Of Exchange:

Mr.. Charles OConnor and the Hon. Daniel s
Dickinson, in your paper of the 25th inst The re-
marks of the gentlemen are wise, patriotic, and in
accordance with truth, justice and honor. But.
alas their counsel comes too late-dcoyis danger
Gus to the South. Nothing can now save the
Southern States from degradation and ruin but
prompt, decisive action. We expect nothing of the
Northern abolitonists, but to carry out their
threats as far as they can. The safety of all we
hold dear now depends on the determined and un-
tiincbing firmness of the South. Toward the hon
est, just and patriotic citizens of the Northern
States, who entertain the sentiments expressed
BY the gentlemen above named, the sons of the
South entertain feelings of warm regard. But
the true patriots of the North are in the minority

They cannot subdue the South. They cannot
with all their yindictiveneSs overthrow the instu-

will seek victims amongst those who oppose them
at home. They have now nearly accomplished
their own financial and commercial ruin-their
operatives will be thrown destitute upon society,"
and their cities will be as Babylon nor Is.
The South has stood on the defensive for years,
yielded more than honesty would ask or honor con-
cede. We will form a Southern Confederacy, and
protect it against insult or invasion, come from
what quarter it may. And, sir, when the hand that
now traces these lines shall have long moudered to
dust the Coniederacy we are now about to form
wilt be-in population, commerce, manufactures,
and weath-far, very far, superior to what the old
Confederacy was.
The people of the South regret the dissolution of
the Union as sincerely as any Others but it cannot
now be avoided.
