The correspondent of the Philadelphia In

lows under date of October IL:

Early on Sunday morning, October 6, q

sent in chase, and, after smart run of four
hours and exposed to shell from a rebel bat

the prize, which proved to be the ALert She

English flag. A Palmetto and Secession flag
were found in her cabin and brought on

The FilibusterinE Purpose Avowed.

The London Times, in recapitulating all
the enormities Of Mexico as justification
for destroying its. s.independence, does not try
to conceal the real object OF the alliance. 1t
is no longer to force payment of debts due to
Englishmen and Frenchmen, but it is to con-
quer the land and possess it, just what
Walker tried to do in Central America. 1t
says:
There are injuries to which no government
can expect its subjects to submit tamely.
When a Christian State, reckoned as one of
the family of nations, decays and degenerates,
when the evils both of tyranny and anarchy
are combined, when in one city forced loans
are levied by q Dictator and houses plum
dered by brigands and insurgents, when
Generals, in arms against the Government,
seize peaceful foreigners and extort a ransom
by threat of shooting them, the country in
which these events take place passes out of
the pale OF civilization. 1t can not expect
that its sovereignty should be respected, that
its territory should be held inviolate, that
other nations should bow to the decisions of
its tribunals, or acquiesce in its atrocous
taxation. Mexico is in this state. 1t is idle
now to say that the English and French and
American settlers are there as unbidden
| guests, and that they must abide by the laws
and bear with the calamities of the republic.
The republic, in fact does not exist All
that does exist is a feeble and vicious race,
overridden by contending factions, which, in
their fierce hatreds, show the only energy
which is to be met with in the country.
The immense sums due to British subjects
for the spoliations and i'll treatment of nearly
thirty years would alone justify and require
some action on the part Of our Government.
But it is not only pecuniary loss which has
TO be made good. This country must have
reparation for the slaughter of its citizens,
and some assurance that more of them shall
not perish. Unless this be done, it is hope
less to expect that any English residents will
remain in Mexico. The beautiful region
| teeming with wealth, the land of promise to
the adventurous and unscrupulous Anglo
| Saxon Of the Southern States, must be closed
to English enterprise for many year. It
must be as much severed from the world as
the Paraguay of the last generation. While
these savage and bigoted half.caste are cut
ting throats hanging, shooting, even burning
each other, the little colonies of foreigners
who carry on the mercantile business of the
country may be gradually destroyed. The
only hope for the world would be that O
stronger and, with all its faults, more es-
timable race would come in and conquer the
land aud possess it.

CoIoneI Jim JacItson.

The following sketch of Hon. JAS S. Jack.
son, now in command Of cavalry regiment
in Kentucky, is from the Philadelphia Press.
We know Colonel "Jim, and can vouch for
him as true soldier, a firm friend and as
genial fellow as the sun ever shone upon :
Mr.. jackson is to day one Of the leading
spirits of Kentucky. His age must be near
OF above forty. In person he is shorter and
stOuter than Wadsworth. He is an expe-
rieneed soldier. During the Mexican War
he served as a Lieutenant in one of the Ken
lucky regiments. While in service he fought
duel with the renowned and eloquent ora
tor, Thomas r. Marshall. The result was
bloodless; the combstants separating, each
satisfied of the courage of his antagonist.
Like Wadsworth, he is native of Kentucky,
and feels deep pride in the past chivalry
and Or. 4ent honor of the State.
A lawyer by profession, he began his career
at the bar at Greenupsburg, the county. seat
of the extreme north h-easternmost county Of
the State. Not finding the mountaineers o.
that region sufficiently quick and ardent tC
suit temperament like his, he emigrated tC
Christian County, Kentucky. There he wa
duly appreciated, and rose rapidly, until hil
ambition consummated his purpose, in an
elevation, last August, To the Federal Con-
gress.
During the last two or three years he, in
accordance with the laws OF the duello, has
been compelled to accede to the demands OF
an antagonist, and slAy him. In temPers-
ment, he is ardent; in speech, huent ana elo-
| auent, full of power to declailn, yet reason
atle, solid, and practicable. No young man
| is more thoroughly acquainted with the tone
and feeling Of the people of Southwestern
| Kentucky than he. Though Buckner's
| column pervades one half of his district, be
\ undauntsdly pushes forward the organization
of cavalry regiment, the nucleus of which
is already in camp at Louisville, in order Il
maintain the principles and the purposes o
the Constitution intact, upon the soil c0nse
Grated by the last resting place of Clay, AM
! by the living preseneeof Crittenden. '1i g.

WASHINGTON, October 21.--On careful in
vestigation it is found that the sum of $500,
600 was sent to England, and $500 900 more
Is to be sent in thirty dsys-in all less than
100000, to purchase clothes to be made up
in this country to meet the pressing wants
of our soldiers in the field until our own
manufacturers can supply the goods so much
needed. The greatest care was exercised
in the selection of agents to execute the
order.
In connection with the fact that payment
has been suspended on debts credited in the
Department Of the West, it is stated that the
Investigating Committee appointed by Con
gress to inquire into all contracts, and now
in session in st. Louis, have in their examin-
alton discovered great iIregularity and ex-
travagaDce in the public expenditures. In
view of all the circumstances it is apparent
that the Administration will yield to the
necessity of completely recognizing the en-
tire department, to accomplish which Cen
eral Fremont will be transferred or assigned
to some other duty.
The President and his constitutional ad-
visers are determined that that department
of the service shall be managed with pru
dence so far as they can exercise the power
to control it. While the steps necessary to
be taken may affect the standing or position
of some few individuals, it is considered bet
ter that such changes should be made rather
than that the great interests at stake should
suffer by hesitation or inaction on the part
Of the Government.

} NEW YORK, October 2l.-A lady arrived
at Philadelphia reports four Federal wounded
put to death at Harper's Ferry by slow
and cruel process, such as stabbing them in
various parts of the body with a small pen
knife. The rebels were aided in these acts
by a Presbyterian clergyman in Harper's
Ferry, now residing at Sheppardsto wn. She
saw about one hundred and fifty dead rebels.
DR.. S. H. Bradley, formerly of New York,
who was at Bull Run as Surgeon of the

He attempted to escape on the day of the
battle, but was detected and sent to Mont

September %, when he was released, and
went to New Orleans en- route North. At
New Orleans, October !, guns had been
mounted on the Custom-house and levee,
and on such buildings as were deemed strong
enough. A number of gun-boats had been
placed on Lake Ponohartrain to repel attack
in that direction. 70 80

LOUISVILLE, October 2l.-The report Of the
occupation Of Greensburg by the rebels is
premature Very few went there and took
twenty muIee which had been placed a. con-
traband in care of General Ward. 1t Is re.
ported that General Ward fell back twelve

He dispatched one hundred and ffty cavalry
to reconnoiter, intending they should return
yesterday. They had not returned when our
informant left. Ward has about three thou
sand troops as advance guard.
The rebels at Little Barren, south side Of
Green River, are estimated at three thousand.
The river is very high, and will be impass-
able by fording for several days.

HIshly Important from the Potomac
Sharp Fighting Near Leesburg General
Stone Holding EdWards,s Ferry.


WASHINGTON, October 2l.-There are ru-
mors of battle in progress near Leesburg.
No particulars. The Federal troops are
known to be intrenched on an island in the
river near that point.
Foraging parties of Federal troops daily
venture as far as Mt. Vernon.
The rumor of Fremonts removal is re-
newed to day.
The following telegram, from General
Stones command, has been received at
headquarters: A gallant reconnaissance was
made early this morning by Major Mix Of the
Van Allen cavalry, and Captain Stewart, As
sistapt Adiutant- General, from Edwardss s
Ferry, toward Leesburg, with thirty cavalry.
They came on the Fourteenth Mississippi
Regiment, received their FIRE at thirty yards,
returned it with their pistols, and fell back
in order, bringing in one prisoner.
We have possession of the Virginia side
of Edwards's Ferry. Additional accounts
say that up to three o'clock to day General
Stone had held his own satisfactorily there
though his comparatively small force on the
island is engaged with some four thousand o.
the enemy. A subsequent dispatch received
late this P. M. says General Evans has foul
field pieces and three pieces masked, and
about four thousand men. A prisoner taker
mentions he has four thousand rebel troops
and expects reinforcements. General Stone

pALIooNING IN TIE Army.

The perfection of the organization of the
army by General Mcclellan since the Bull
Run affair attracts the attention Of every
military man who visits Washington. The
improvements in cavalry and artillery are
wonderful, and in a short time he will be
ahead of the great Napoleon in his various
preparations. His ballooning arrangements,
too, will soon eclipse any thing of the sort
ever recorded in military history. 1t was
only the other day that we gave an account
of La Mountain having cut the rope which
bound him to the earth, and hanging for
half an hour over the enemy's camp. Now
we understand he has made a night Ascen-
sion, and that he has actually gone up at
midnight and taken view of every thing in
repose and obtained some valuable informa-
ton in respect to the numbers and move
ments Of the rebels, as seen by camp fires.
VOLUNTEERS FOR CALIFORNIA AND OREGON.
Now, that all the regulars in Oregon and
California have been ordered to report either
to General Mcclellan, General Fremont, or
General Sherman, the utmost activity pre-
walls among the citizens on the Pacific coast,
who are raising volunteers in large numbers
to take the place of the regulars. Even in
Nevada Territory several companies of vol
unteers have reported for duty to the mill
tary authorities in California. Heavy SUBJ
scriptions are being raised in San Francisco
and Sacramento for the support of the vol
unteeTs and their families, and il is estimated
that thirty thousand of these brave men. will
coon be under arms. The regulars ieavs their
muskets and accouterments behind them,
which will be used by the Volunteers, and
when the regulars reach Washington they
viii be supplied with new arms.
