eur Naval Seryiee-What it has Done.

From the 21st of April till now the navy
yard at Gosport has supplied with proper
ornaments OF artillery the Notifications oil
nearly the whole South, and perfected mum
Der OF inventions in ordnance-among them
the Improvement of the range OF cannon al
ready cast which has been lately patented by
our Government.
Nor has the naval service been lacking in
gallant deeds during the war. The attack of
The little ordnance boat Harmony upon the
raced frigate (now sloop of war; Savannah.
off Newport News, will be, or should be, re-
mrmbrr-d as one of the most daring and gal
liant incidents OF the war. The report OF This
affair, we learn, was sent to the Secretary OF
h. Navy with complimentary comments by
the commapdant of the navy-yard.
Again, we have another exploit in the cap
ture of the Fanny by Commodore Lynch,
vii two steamers armed CONNIE 1T fala, no
matter how. The expedition. too, against
the Indiana Regiment at Hatteras was par
ticipat in by our navy, to which proper
credit in the affair has not been justly as
cribed. We are assured that the expedition
was suggested to Commodore Lynch, and
carried out by means of his fleet. he being
senior officer in command.
Lastly, the gallant action of Com. HoiIins
and his mosquito feet" at the mouth Of the
Mississippi, entities our navy TO that honora
bic and grateful recognition OF It's services
which has been too much omitted by the
Government itself in withholding official re-
ports, as well as by the press in the popular
records of the war.
Il may be said generally that the best
guard against injustice and righteousness In
ascribing the praises OF the war, is for the
Government to give for publication official
reports, instead of having the history of the
war marred in its accuracy by interested and
irresponsible statements and perverted in
respect of justice, by systems of Jealousy.

The reports about the rebel army being in
full retreat for Manassas are founded on
conjecture-at least nothing of it is known
in quarters most entitled TO confidence.
As was stated in yesterdays dispatches,
large accommodating party proceeded as
far as Vienna, but returned before General
Mcclellan had quite reached the village.
Gen. Wadsworth went within mile and
half of Fairfax Courthouse with COM
paratively small escort. From the observa-
tions, it was cOnjectured that the rebel force
there amounted to about two regiments of
infantry and q battalion of cavalry. The
escort was fired on, but reached their camp
without resortiDg to extraordinary haste
From gentlemen presumed to possess the
best opportunities of judging, it is ascer-
tanned that the enemy has been alternately
retreatiDg and advancing within a breadth
o five miles.
Bland Ballard has been appointed u s.

Monroe, who has joined the rebels.

WAsHIEGToN, Oct. Is.
The rebels called in all their pickles to-
day and deserted Vienna. they tore up
the track of the Loudon and Hampshire
road at that place, and have fallen back,
with their entire column, to Fairfax Court
house. Gen. WadsHosth, with a company
OF infantry and one of cavalry, followed up
the rebels in their sndden fight to within a
mile of Fairfax Court-house, when they
turned and fired upon their pursuers, but
did not succeed in hitting anybody. A
scouting party, consisting of five of our
companies, under command of the Lieufen-
ant Colonel, made reconnaissance Of Wen
ma this afternoon, and upon entering it he
found 1t deserted, as stated above. The OBJ
Ject in tearing up the railroad is to prevent
the use of it by Gen -McClelland to throw
troops into Leesburg.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is.
The sudden retreat of the rebel army
from its position at Vienna has created much
excitement here to-day. Gen. Mcclellan
crossed the Potomac at an early hour this
morning, accompanied by his staff, in order
to investigate the actual condition of affairs
In Virginia. a transport vessel went down
the Potomac last night for the purpose of
testing the state of navigation and to afford
opportunities for a reconnaissance of the en-
emy's batteries. Nothing has yet been
heard from her.
Mr. Grow, late collector at Nashville, ar
rived today He represents that Northern
goods are abundant at Nashville, and that
loyal citizens are quietly awaiting the arri-
val of the Federal army. 1t is now con-
irmed that the rebel pickets have fallen back
as far as Fairfax Court house. Our own
pickets follow their steps as they retreat.
The entire force of the rebels is supposed
to be concentrated on the line from Manas-
sas Gap to Acquia creek 1 learn that the
massing of the rebel forces is just the effect
which Mcclellan had designed by his various
movements. The army officers are appar-
emily much pleased with the shape that the
contest is now assuming. We learn from
good authority that certain foreign capital
lists have offered Mr.. Chase, Secretary of
the Treasury, to take one hundred million of
the U. S. Government loan at 60 per cent.

Eo~ When in Charleston W. met New York politicians in Convention and mark. ed their manoeuvres; when we tried to fix them to some practical point and could not; when again we examined their twist. ing in our own State; when we regarded the time serving, huckstering spirit of their so-called organs of public opinion, W. could not but dcspiss the whole csnylep- eration of heartless, soullsss, iniouitv known as the empire city. We knew that the so called empire State, outside of the city was bitterly opposed to us. That was plain, and there was some manli ness in the fact that it was plain, but the full measure of antagonism, of loathinr. has never before been reached until we had seen the course of the conservative" city of New York within the last few days. We now realize to the fullest extent that 1 her merchants sell their concienciess and their calicoes with equal indifference, the price being the only consideration, thst their preachers with few exceptions, are as venal and their prostitutes, and their edit. ors and politicians more SO than siths.
 There may be ten righteous men in New York. but if SC they are in bad company. There may be recruits for the internal rs- gions also from there, but we doubt if there are souls enough there to damn many | of their hodiss.-- Wiimngton Jowrx~t,

TIE CosT OF WAR.-A STARTLING PIE OF DoLLARs.-The New York News figures up as followe what a war of one years du ration will cost. The total money actually expended to say nothing of the loss of life, stagnation of business, etc., Is startling enough.
 As we will probable have 100000 men under arms before a month, their burden on our people, in pecuniary sense, must be interesting and instructive. A soldiers daily provisins costs over twenty cents, when of the rough sort; his clothing, am- bulance necesssaries and other require ments, over one dollar. In movable state, then every man in the country, bear ing a musket, costs us over two dollars per day.
 Two dollars per day for one man is s200, ,000 per day for S1o0,0oo men; s200,00O per day is s1,4Oo,o0o per week.
 1,400,00 per week is more than so,' GOO, ,0O0 per month;
 OrS1l. .200, 900 for two months
 Or S22, 100, 900 for four months; Or S33 500, 900 for six months;
 Or $67 200, 900 for one year.

 No ships-no sailors-no marines.
 But it will cost twice this. For the mere support and travelling expenses only are counted No figures for recruiting, for generals, offices, quarters or government.
 No figures for replacing dead men with l live ones.
 No figures for burying the killed.
 The cost will be over 5000, 900, per week. Ten days war capital would buy Cuba. Buchanan was mad for asking S3O, 900, ,0O0 to add a great State to the coun-

PARTICULARS or THE SURRENDER OF THE NORTH CAROLINA ARsENM.-The Ralelgh Register of late date says: "lhe stage ol Tuesday morning brings the intelligence that the Fayetteville arsenal was peaceably surrendered on Monday by the garrison, to twentv-two hundred men, under command of Geueral Draughon, who had assembled to take it, if necessary by force. The arms and munitions taken were thlrty-seven thousand stand of arms, six thousand pistols, three thousand kegs of powder and any quantity of cannon balls and shells. With this armament the old north State is ready to engage in the contest, either to preserve their liberties on her own soil, or to go to the aid of any ofher southern states who may need it. It is obvious now that the battle may be decided in the Distinct of Columbia The forts in this State are no doubt by this time prepared to resist any attack upon them by the black repnbll- cans, and company after company should be sent from here to aid in the capture oi Washington With what was once the national capital in th2ir hands the Conted- crate States will soon be recognized as a sov- ereign and independent nation.

A Card from Hon. c. L. Vallandingham
 DAYTON, Ohio, April r..

DAl lON, Niii'' Iiti
 To Me Editors of Me Enquirer:
 I have a word for the republican press and paltisans ofCincnnati and other places abroad, who now daily falsify and misrep- resent me and matters which soncern me here in Dayton.
 Ny position in regard to civil war; which the Lincoln administration has inaugurated, was long since taken and tcW Je ddhered 10 % Me end Let that be understood, 1 have added nothing to it, subtracted nothing from it, said nothing about 1t publicly, since the war began. l know well that am right, and that in little while "the sober second thought of the people, will dissipate the present sudden and tleeting public mad ness, and will demand to know why thirty millions of people are butchering each other in civil war, and will arrest it speedily. But meantime, should my own State be in vaded, or threatened with invasion; as soon it may be, then, as a loyal native born son of Ohio, acknowledging my first allegiance te Be to her, will aid in defending her to the last extremity, asking no questions. Whoever shall refuse then, or hesitate will be traitor and dastard. And this same rule l apply as well to the people of Virgi- mia, Kentucky, or Missouri, as to any of the free. States, north or west.
 As to myself, no threats have been made to me personally; none within my hearing; no violence offered; no mob anywhere; none will be; nobody is afraid of any. and every statement or rumor in regard to me circula- ted orally, or published in the republican press, is basely idle and false. And now let me add, for the benefit of the cowardly slanderers of Cincinnati or elsewhere who libIe me daily, that if they have any busi- ness with me, I can be found every day and at anytime either at home or the northwest corner of First and Ludlow, on upon the streets of Dayton.
