Washington, May 20, says:-There was a
fight at Sewel's point, between two U nited
States vessels and rebel battery, it being
the eighth and last work in rebel hands de-
Tending the approaches to Norfolk, and is
regarded as au important work against the
blockading James River, where there are
now lying 20 prizes laden with tobacco.
The steamer Star commenced on Saturday
at noon, shelliug the works, and was soon

the rebels. She then proceeded to Wash
ington with dispatches of Col. Stringham
She captured two small vessels on Sun

fifty men, bound for the rebel army.
A special dispatch to the Times from
Harper's via Frederick, May l9tn says
Two thousand Mississippians arrived here
to-day. Two regiments arrived from AL
ALBANIA yesterday. They are all hard
lot. The small pox has broken out among
the troops there.
A company Of cavalry left Harper's Fer

from voting on the 23d, as this is strong
Union District.
The Home Guards of Frederick City

Rev. Mr.. Cuyler ON the War.

The Reverend T. L. Cuyler, in letter
from Newalk, Ohio, to the New York
Evangelist, speaking of the present Nation
al crisis, says:
This war must inevitably have one or two
results. 1t will either cut the jugular OF
slavery, extinguish secession, consolidate
the nation, and prepare it for grander mis-.
sion of Christian civilization and enlighten-
ment 10 the earth or else it will end in hu-
initiating defeat, compromise with chronic
iniquity, and total debauching of the POI
pular conscience before God. Which of
these two results shall come depends on the
great deciding class, the thinking, praying
and working class. who make up the
Church of Christ. Gods people can save
this Republic, as Cromwells Puritans saved
the liberties of Engand-by the sword of
steel in the enc hand, and the Sword of the
Spirit in the other. During this brief tour
l have talked freely with all classes that
encounter, and find that there is an insidi-
Gus poison a t work, the poison of preference
for temporary peace, instead of DEAR
bought triumph of permanent principle.
But few are yet tainted with the subtle
delusion. Six months of sharp military re.
verses would make the poison spread like
cholera. Six months of Cromwellian war
will cut the danger out as prompt surgeon
knifes out the rattlesnake's venom from a
bitten limb.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, August

INDEPENDENCE, Mo-, August 20.
The Santa Fee mail and Cannon City
express arrived here last evening, three
days ahead of time. 1t brings dates from
Santa Fe to the 5th, and Cannon City to
the 9th.
A report reached Santa Fe two days be-
fore the mail left, that Major Lynde, of the
18th Infantry United States army, in COM
mand of about five hundred Federal troops,
surrendered to the Texan troops, three
thousand in number, without firing a gun.
Major Lynde abandoned Fort Fillmore on
the 26th ultimo, and marched toward Fort
Stanton, eighteen miles from Fort Fill
more. He surrendered his whole command
to the Texas troops. 1t is believed in San
ia Fe that the Texans have also taken the
stock and coaches belonging to the Santa
Fe and FL Paso mail company, as their
coaches failed to arrive at Santa Fe.
On the Sd instant, an engagement took
place at Messilla, between the Federals and
seven hundred Confederates, under COM
mand of Captain Baylor. Capt. McNally
and A. T.. Brooks, of the Federal army,
were wounded in the engagement, and
twelve of the Confederates were killed. The
night put an end to the engagement, the
Texans remaining in Messilla, and the Fed
erals going to Fort Fillmore, about one
hundred miles distant.
Considerable fears are entertained for the
safety of Fort Union, and the commanding
officer of that post was having it fortified
and entrenched.
Colonel Laroy, formerly of the United
States army, is said to be in command of a
body of Texan rangers.
The weather on the Plains was very
warm, and buffalo in abundance. In many
places the mail party found it difficult to get
through the large herds which cover the
woods and plains.

The Navy.

Within few days we shall have ready
and at sea nearly, if not quite, four hundred
and fifty vessels; and the nation will have
the satisfaction of knowing that every one
of this great fleet is perfectly fitted for the
uses which are to be made of it. The labor
of creating such navy as this is not slight.
The time in which it has been done is not
long. 1t might perhaps have been made
less, if the government had purchased, with
out enquiry or examination, every vessel
that has been offered it; but then we should
have had the navy to make over again, as
we have had the army to re-create. In this,
as in most other parts of life, the old pro-
verb holds true: The more haste the less
speed" A prudent man makes haste slowly.
Meantime there is reason to believe that
the public does not know all that is going
on in the coast guard feet. There is q
silence before action and though we are
not permitted to be more explicit, we may
say that before many days there is reason
to expect that we shall hear of an impor.
tant blow struck by our navy We are not
likely to know of it so soon as the enemy,
because he will feel it.-New York Post,
18th.

How Rebels Keep Faith among Them
selveSs go

A few days since rebel captain named
Arson, from Charleston, South Carolina,
was shot dead by private in a Georgia
regiment. The Richmond Dispatch gives
the following account of the subsequent fate
OF the prisoner:
Davis, upon arriving in Richmond, was
left by Major Butts in care of guard of
the Telfair Volunteers, Capt. Smith. He
ordered the car to be backed across the
river, and proceeded to the camp to report
to Col. Semmes. Very shortly afterward
party of men supposed to belong to Capt.
Axson's company, came and asked him from
the guard, promising on the faith of gentle
men, that he should be delivered to the prop
er authorities. Assured by them, he followed
them. On the road they attempted to bor-
row rope.
When they got to the ravine they halted
and told him they were going to hang him.
He protested against it, and said that they
had pledged their faith to him. One Of
them stepped in front of him, saying :
q" Faith be id; l am going to shoot you, u
and upon that shot him. Davis then turned
to escape /; they rushed upon him and cut
at him with bowie knives, inficting several
severe wounds. Davis fell, partially insen-
sible. Again, on the ground, they Inflicted
wound on the neck with knife, and one
On the head. Surprising him to be dead,
they turned to leave, when one of them
asked if they had better not get doctor.
He was answered by one who said: "NO,
if he is not dead, let's finish him." and, ap-
preaching him, fired at him within few
feet. The ball did not take effect. Three
more men returned after the affair and in.
quired if he was dead, and on being told no
but MORALLY wounded, laughed and went
Oh.
