The rest OF the story IS briefly told. Late
On Thursday night the garrison of Fort
Walker had collected at the landing, in the
hope of being able to reach Button BY wa
ter. Luckily several small Confederate
steamers were within hail. But here lu-
dicrous mistake occurred. The retreating
troops imagined the little steamers to be
Yankee gun boats; while the crews of the
steamers were convinced that the troops we're
a body of disembsrked Yankees. Acting
upon this double delusion, deal Of mutual
accommodating was made, and II was only
after a vast variety of strategic approaches
that they reached the conclusion that it was
all right" A quick trip 70 Button follow
ed. Thence the troops marched to Hardee-
Vile, seventeen miles distant. The road
along which they dragged their exhausted
frames was filed with q heterogeneous
throne of fugitives of all conditions, car
riaees, carts and conveysnces Of every de-
seriptiou that could, BY any possibility, be
pressed into service. The spectacle was a
sad one.
Thus ended the defence Of Port Royal
The Modification OF the disaster is lessened
by toe consciousness that our troops deserv-
i. ed success.

A NEW VOLUME
CLEVELAND WEEKLY LEADER

OF THE
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1861-07-12
Congress,

Congress assembled in special session on
Thursday of last week. The House was or
ganized by the election of Hon. Galusha A.
Grow, of Pennsylvania, as Speaker, and OF
Hon. Emerson Etheridge, of Tennessee, as
Clerk. Objection was made to the members
from Western Virginia being admitted, but
the House voted down motion to refer their
cause to Committee, and they were all sworn
in. At the opening of the Senate Messrs.
breckenridge and Powell of Kentucky, and
also Senator Johnson, of Tennessee, took their
seats. At the assembling of the House on
Friday the venerable Mr.. Criterden appeared
and was qualified as member from Kentucky
The Presidents Message was received and read
in both Houses
The Senate, on Wednesday last, passed the
bill, entitled IAN act to collect the revenue on
imports" &c. This is what is known as the
force bill, " which was rushed through the
House the day previous. This bill gives tc
Lincoln five hundred thousand men, instead
of four hundred thousand as asked for, and
five hundred million dollars, instead of foul
hundred millions
All the Maryland delegation--save Mr.. May
who is absent-votod for the bill.
Mr.. Trumbull of Illinois, on Wednesday
last, gave notice of his intention to offer
bill for abolishing slavery in the States now
declared to be in state of insubordinatoI
to the government.

skirmish al the Great FaIIs.

On last Sunday there was some skirmishing
across the Potomac short distance below
the Great Falls, between the German troops
stationed on this side, and the Virginians on
the other. 1t was a kind of Indian fight,
where the parties were concealed among the
rocks and bushes, and watching for chances
to pick off their enemies. Two Germans were
killed and five wounded, but none Of the Vir-
ginians, as far as heard from. The Germans
afterwards arrested several persons and made
them take an oath, whether in Dutch or Eng
lish, we know not. JOHN ELLIS refused to
swear, when they threatened to hang him, but
were prevented by some cavalry troops, who
happened to come up. Verify, there is strict
Union between the Yankee fox and the Ger
man wild boar.

me- The Washington "Star" justifes the
midnight search of the houses of the Messrs.
Wilson, and says "that no more orderly,
well conducted soldiers than Gerhardts, can
be found Very likely they are as good as
any in Lincoln's employ. As to the statement
that the Messrs. Wilson are bitter secession
lists, il is an error. One of them we believe,
and they are both very moderate men, is an
Unionist, and the other a Southern-rights
man and as to the charge either having had
a ananti.y of arms concealed, at any time, il
is false. We have had no arms hereabouts for
years past, except those miserable muskets,
with which Gov. Hicks cheated the State last
year, and they were distributed long ago.
The "Star" says "thst Col. Stone investiga-
ted the charges, and justified the Germans"
So it seems that they may, at any time, enter
our houses, insult our families, and do as they
please. The King or Queen of England dare
not do such an act to the poorest subject.

Systematic Lxinr.

No man can read the dispatches of the alb
clifton Generals, the papers of the abolition
Cabinet, or the kilograms sent out by each and
all Of them, (says the Baltimore Republican, J
without being convinced that plan of systc-
matte lying has been determined upon whereby
to keep the people in ignorance of the real facts
transporting in the country. Not a single state
ment has yet been made as the several rencon-
tres between the abolitionists and the Confed-
crate troops that has not utterly falsifed the
facts. Every statement has been of the char
acter of that of General Patterson-that 1--WE
have routed and drove the rebels before us,
and taken possession of their camp when
the truth is, these boastful Generals have been
beaten at every point and have not dared to
advance out of sight of their batteries into
Virginia.
The boast of Seward that the war would be
settled-in sixty days has been proved as false
as Lincoln's assertions about the Union feel
ing in Virginia and elsewhere. If Lincoln
or Scott believed there was majority of the
people of Virginia in their favor, why have
they not boldly advanced into the State and
given their friends chance to welcome them 2
They know the assertion is uterlytdlse, and they
dare not move one mile toward Richmond I'M
til backed by all the hordes OF Northern ia
natics they can summon to their aid. This
lying system will not much longer deceive
anybody. The truth will appear, and the peo-
pie will look with seorn upon those who have
SO impudently attempted to impose upon
them. If there is a majority of Union men
in all the States except South Carolina, in the
name of common sense why ask for four hun
dred thousand northern soldiers to help this
majority carry out their wishes? The state
ment of Mr.. Lincoln bears upon its own face
the unmistakable brand of deliberate and
wicked falsehood.

Conflscation of Property.

Secretary Chase suggests to Congress the
propriety of con6scating the whole or a part
of all the property of citizens of the South
who have taken up arms to defend themselves
from the Abolition hordes which Lincoln has
called out for their subjugation, as also those
who may aid them by their sympathies or by
exposing the injustice and inhumanity of the
war waging against them. This is but part
of the original programme which promised
to the soldiers the houses and lands of South
ern men as an incentive 10 their enlisting in
the unhallowed crusade. We shall soon see
the whole monstrous features of this fanatical
and unprincipled party brought fully into
view. What will the West say to the enor-
nous taxation proposed upon sugar, tea,
coffee, syrup, and all the iuxuries and neces.
saries of life. They will be made to pay
dearly for their devotion to Black Republi.
canism, not only in the lives of those whom
they have persuaded and deceived into this
unholy war, but also in the enhanced price o.
everything needful for the comfort of Their
families.

Battle ProJaJte at Winchester, Va.
We learn by passengers who arrived last
evening in the cars, oyer the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, that Maj. Gen Patterson was
believed to be moving his forces from Martins
burg towards Winchester. The distance be-
tween the two places is about 20 miles.
Gen. Johnston had moved his army from
Bunker Hill, and yesterday morning be was
within three miles Of Winchester, where he
intended to unite with Gen. Jackson. The
two, it was supposed, would have under their
joint command about thirty thousand troops
including two squads Of artillery. Of six hun
dred each, three companies mounted riAenen,
and thirty pieces Of artillery.
General Patterson had some DAYS ago about
twenty thousand men, including four compa-
mics Of U. 5. cavalry and the Philadelphia
City Troop. This force however, is exclusive
Of Cen Sanford's command, which would
make bis entire strength about thirty-fve
thousand men. The troops under Gen. San
ford, II was reported, reached Martinsburg
on Wednesday evening.
A portion of the New Hampshire regiment
was at the Point OF Rocks on Wednesday last,
and two hnnNd Federal troops st Harpers
