An Albany Zousve who was in the
Bethel affair, says:
The enemy soon found out where we
were, and began to throw their fire into the
wood, but fortunately for Us, they aimed
little too high. Every instant We could
hesr the balls Whizzing through the air
and crashing among the trees. We could
tell each kind Of ball or bullet by the sound
it made in passing through the air. There
was one rihed cannon, the balls from which
rushed along with shrill, angry shrek
as it may be called, like the sound Of o
steam whistle the big balls and shells
went humming along, aud there was also
the hiss of grape shot and rife and mus
ket balls.

A Washington letter writer tells this
story;
A few days since column Of Federal
troops entered g town in Western Virginia.
The officer commanding was met shortly
after his arrival by quiet gentleman, who
presented his card, and perfect map of
the surrounding country, with exact infor
nation as to the numbers, condition, and
equipment of the enemy, as veil as evi-
dence that he was confidential agent of
Gen. Scott The officer exhibited some sur
prise that he should be supplied so prompt-
ly with precisely the Information be wanted,
when he was told by bis informsnt that
three weeks before Gen. Scott had laid out
the work 10 be done, and told him to meet
the officer commanding the Federal forces,
who would arrive in that town on that Uery
dag. There are names, dates, places, and
other details connected with this story
which I an not permitted to print but
which would add greatly to its interest;
and make its authenticity unquestioned by
the public The officer, so Opportunely in.
strusled, now regards Gen. Scott, in mill
tary matters, as sort of Divine Provi
dence.

state from the highest authority that there

and prosecute the war with such numbers |
and vigor as to leave no chance for doubt in |
the minds of the violators of good Govern
ment, that the Administration and the loyal |
people who support it, are In earnest. A
spirit is being aroused that will result in
placing the man who shall dare offer pro-

The feeling against anything Of the kind |

Il Is surprising, bat nevertheless 8 fact
that We havemen among as Who are willing
to buy peace With the South at almost
any sacrifice Of principle and are anxiously
praying that the Congress which is % as
semble in July may adopt some measures
of compromise that can be agreed upon,
end thereby relieve the country Of the
horrors Of the civil war, in the midst Of
which We new live. Some GO SO far as to
cay that the North have brought about the
state Of sfIairs in which We End ourselves,
by not adopting the Orittenden amendment

that il the said amendment had been passed
al would nov bs quiet, and harmony reign
all over the land. For the confederation Of
such, We commend the careful perusal of
the following extract from the Mobile Mer-
curry:
The Congress that is to meet on the Goth
Of June, If they do not forthwith issne
declaration Of war, and pass q non-inter-
course set they will furnish The world with
conclusive proof that they are unfit for the

must 6ght until the North sues for peace.
Pass non-interoOurse act, and then she

Of the var. We must dictate the terms of

dence Of hsr sincerity, she impeach and

and hang him for treason and other crimes.
This looks very much, upon the part Of
the South, like disposition to enter into any

Can any Northern freeman doubt for q
moment that this is the feast to which
they are invited, if compromise is now
effected.
The Mobile Mercury only makes public
what have been the designs Of the Slave
power, for the last thirty or forty years, to

It is a matter Of surprise to the masses
that there are any who have an idea that

WHEAT CRoP.-The prospects for large
crop of wheat in this county are good. A
gentlemsn,,who has been in the surrounding
counties within the past few days, informs
US that there is general complaint among
the farmers on account of the cheat in the
crop-that one-fourth oft consists of cheat,
but in this county it is nearly clearly of it..
As the cheat shoots out first, We presume,
it looks larger, relatively, th,.t it will when

secret RmIssaries.

The n. I. Tribune, protesting 10 speak
upon authority, asserts that the Hon. R.
~ T. Hunter, Of Virginia, and the Hon.
James a. Bayard, Of Delaware, have been
in New York secretly negotiating with
Fernando Wood and other tories, the object
being to prepare some plsn,of Compromise
to be offered to Congress at its assembling,
by which he war may be brought to q close.
It says that the two provisions of the Com
promise we're to be; 1st, the admittsnce and
recognition of the independence of the
seeding States, or I'd, the United States to
give a guarantee for the perpetuity Of
slavery in sll the present and future ter
ritory south Of the parallel Of SO deg, 80
min; that a complete amnesty for every
ofsuse connected with the rebellion be
agresd upon, with a guaranty to every for
mer citizen Of all rightsOf citizenship, in
eluding the right to hold otice lit is evident
that Hunter still hopes to be President,
and to every military and naval officer of
his appropriate rank in the service. On
the basis Of these guarantees Messrs. Hun
ter and Bsyard say that the insurgent
States viii lay down their arms and return
into the Union. They would much prefer
separation and Independence, but they will
put up with this compromise.
A petition to this effect, to be presented
to Congress, had been prepared and had
received above one thousand signatures IN
the city. This is the sort Of thing we shall
have to meet and put down. We do moi
fear the adoption Of any suoh outrageous
plan. but It Is Ren to be warned in time.
