Of battle:

fine, high, archins forehead. and regular and
handsome features, almost classic in their
regularity and mingled delcacy and strength
Of beauty. His hair, almost coal black, -as
were his eyes, he wore long on the neck, in
the prevailing fashion among the Virginia
aristocracy. His dress was Of fine blue
broadcloth throughout, and richly orna
mented The buttons bore the coat of arms
Of the State of Virginia, and the star on
his shoulder strap was richly studded with
briliants.

which had been reluctantly doled out to

few weeks was entirely cut Off This is
not true; on the contrary, every family
who has claimed aid--the head OF it being
a volunteer received it each week

But, Mr.. Editor, unless the subscribers
to the fund come forward more promptly

cease in very short time 1t is due is

The correspondent of the st. Louis Dem
ocrat gives the following account of the
engagement with the rebels at Bonneville
on the 18th, taken from Capt. Eppstein $
official report. The Capt. says, latter the
fight had lasted about an hour the seces-
sionists whom we had taken as hostages
became SO restless that they begged him
to allow one Of their number to 20 with A
flag Of truce and ask an armistice This
hostage came back soon afterwards, while
! let my men cease firing, with the request
to know my conditions. | then demanded
that they should withdraw the secession
forces two miles from the city, not to mo-
lest any Of our families, or other Union
people, to leave the arms of the killed and
wounded on the ground where they fell,
while / promised to LET the prisoners free
whom had taken, with the exception Of
preacher Pointer, whom, | informed them,
| would shoot in case they should not hon
orably keep their promise for seven days
They left town according to this agree
ment
Thus the gallant fellow, with only 80
men, actually dictated his own terms to
fully four times his number. The enemy
fought well for a little while, but out Of
the whole GOO only six could be found to
storm the works. Their leaders brayely
led the way, but they absolutely refused
to follow. OF these six, our men killed
four, their two leaders, Col. Brown and
his son, Capt. Brown, falling SO near the
entertainments that they drew them in,
and they died inside. Besides these, the
enemy lost or 10 killed and wounded
\ courier just from Bonneville reports
that the rebel force was retreating towards
Prices command. Besides Col. Brown
and his son they lost two o.her captains
Col. Brown was armed with three eight
inch reviewers, rife, sword anda bowie
knife. The weapons are now in the pos
session of Lieut. Pease.
The correspondent Of the St Louis Re-
publican says that reliable information

Immediately after the farce was gone
through with yesterday a. m, of calling
the roll and adjourning an unusual stir
took place in the city. Companies from
Of the vicinity Wilson's regiment were
observed passing through the city in diff
the city was walled in. No one could 20
out without pass from the Provost Mar
shall whose Office was soon crowded with
an excited throng Of people who had been
stopped and turned back In the mean
time Lieut.. Carmichael, of the Baltimore
police, was moving quietly about with his
officers accom- panied by squad Of militia
r. making arrests, commencing with
the officers Of the Legislature, especiallyS
the clerks. who contended that they would
keep the Legislative machine going till
quorum should arrive The first occupant
Of the guard house was the clerk of the
House, Milton y Kidd His assistant,
Thomas H. Moore, could not be found till
late in the morning, but was finally ar
rested. The clerk Of the Senate, Mr.
kilimour, and his assistant, Mr. karmek,
were also found with much difficulty and
taken to the same institution Mr. Cor
din and Mr.. McCubbin, Of Allegheny,
were next taken, and soon Messrs Col
man and Durant We're arrested. At late
hour Mr.. keser was arrested, but Mr.
Miller at the last accounts had not been
taken. The aim of the officers was to ar
rest all the members who voted for Mr..
Naliaces famous report, about 10000
copies Of which We're yesterday seized as
reasonable documents. During the p IN
the Union members af the House and SEN
ate met I'm caucus and resolved that the
action of the Senators present, in not as
sembling, having virtually brought the
Legislature TO an end, they would return
to their homes and not again attempt to
reassemble. Mr.. Long in the meantime
was delegated to prepare brief statement
to be signed and published by the mem
bers present. The arrest Of the clerks will
prevent them from calling the roll and so
the Legislature is at al end. Several of
the most noisy and active secessionists
have also been arrested The prisoners
will remain in the guard house all night
and be removed to Fort McHenry in the
morning.

army stores Lave been transported to the
enemy's lines by this route. The neces-

Government indicates that an attack from
the enemy IS expected. 1t is believed
here that if any advance is made it will
be from Leesburg or Harper Ferry.
