CoMPLIMENTARY.--Secretary Cameron,
during his late visit to the West, on land
ing at Upton saw some four or five soldiers
standing on the platform of the railroad
depot. Stepping up to them he said to one
of them:
DO you belong to Vandever's regi-
ment 2"
4" Yes, sir"
" Are they all as good looking set of
fellows you are !? 7" the Secretary asked.
The soldier thus addressed answered in
a very dry and humorous way, We are
the worst looking of the whole lot, but
guess any how they look about as well as
you do"

Battle on the Potcmac.-Anofhcr
in Missouri,
Col. Baker OF the Nationals, and Col.
Lowe OF The Rcbcis, Killed.

Lowe of the Rebels, Killed.
We have rather stirring news this week
from the seat of war. On Monday, bat
tie was fought on the upper Potomac, be-
tween part of Gen. Stones division, and
Col. Baker, numbering 1900, and some
10000 rebels. Our troops were in two
wings, and were attacked at 9 A. NJ, and
repulsed the enemy every time he appeared
The object Of Col. Bakers command
was to protect cur troops in crossing the
Potomac at that point, while that of the
rebels was Of course 10 prevent it.
Al about p. NJ the right wing found
itself confronted by near 1000 of the enc
my under Gen. Evans with artillery. Col
BaSer gallanIly essayed the charge in
which he was killed.
he officer left in command Immediately
ordered the men to fall back near the river
bank, where they could be supported by
Gen. Stone, and the portion of the army
that had time effected crossing. The men
obeyed in good order carrying off all the
dead and wounded.
On reaching the position selected, the
right wing turned. though under FIRE of the
enemy which gradually slackened until mid
night when il ceased.
Throughout the night the balance of Gen.
Stones force crossed the river and threw
up temporary works that render his posi-
ton secure, and enables him to protect the
crossing of the division of Gen. Banks 10
be essayed this morning.
Our troops therefore, accomplis he'd their
object, but had to do it with severe loss,
especially il the death of the gallant Col
Baker. Gen. Banks himself has now
crossed the river with a portion of his d.
vision, and has assumed chief command.
This movement is doubtless au important
one, and the key to demonstration soon
TO be made.

Could've are indebted to Mr.. John
Gibson formerly of Chester, for very
fine specimen of Gold just AZ taken from u
claim on Reading Pond Brook, belonging
to Smith, Gibson & Wells. The claim, we
believe, is on a f,rm owned by Amos
Spaulling, and has been worked with much
success during the past season, by tie above
firm, In some instances they have taken
over $40 in day. The specimen sent US
is very nice one, and very pure, though
just as found by the miners. The gold in
the Plymouth diggings has thus far proved
to be much finer than that of California.
The letter inclosing it was anonymous,
though apparently by order of Mr.. Gibson
who BIAS our thanks for his kindness.

Mr.. SWAIN, Dear Sir Some few per-
sons do not seem TO understand our resolu-
ton passed upon the day Of our national
fast, viz -" That emancipation, and the
arming Of the slaves should go with our ar
my"
As explained at the time, it calls for moth
ing more than TO use all the slaves who come
in as best we can, even TO arm Them, should
il be necessary, and to emancipate at the end
Of the war all who had assisted us. That
this did not call for any proclamation.
We do not believe it policy TO restore
slaves under any circumstances, TO poison
the minds of the 100000 who are with
US for allies, if worst comes to worst.
