Four hundred volunteers, sick and disabled
were honorably discharged at Washington
on Friday last,
Gen. Scott has issued positive orders that
no reporters Of the press shall hereafter, under
: any circumstances, visit the different encamp-
ments at Washington.
FROM Old Point and Fortress Monroe.
I FoRTREss MONROE, June 2S.-Col Cass re-
l'giment arrived here this morning from Bos-
ton, but proceeded on to Washington without
landing. The original destination Of this
regiment was Fortress Monroe.
4 The Massachusetts, Sd and 4th regiments
are under orders to march tomorrow morn
4 ing. They will probably entrench themselves
beyond Hampton bridge, and form the adj
vance of an important movement toward
Yorktown. Their time will expire in about
three weeks. The naval brigade will proba-
1 bly, accompany them to Hampton.
/ j. W. Bennett, of the first Vermont regi-
ment, died yesterday at the hospital of typhus
/ fever, his body will be taken home. Over one
| hundred sick are now in the hospital.
4 A large number of fugitive slaves have come
/ in to-day.
The Confederatcs this morning fired two OF
three shots from new battery on James river,
/ directly opposite Newport News.
/ Among the visitors at Ola Point to-day is
the Hon. II. j. Raymond, of New York. The
weather continues intensely hot.
Later.
/ The steamer Georgeanna, Capt. Pierson, ar
rived yesterday morning, and her passengers
bring some interesting intelligence from For
tress Monroe.
/ There have been no military movements,
and such was the havoc made among the Fed
eral pickets by the Contederates that the

opposite side of Hampton creek
An attack on Newport Newspoint by por.
| ton of the forces under Gen. Magruder is now
expected, and it is said his force is strong
enough to leave a sufficient force at Great Be-
! thel to defend that point
The battle Of Great Bethel is much talked
Of and il is now said that General Pierce was
not ignorant Of the existence of the battery
which repulscd his forces. On the contrary,
two hours before the attack was made, Gen.
! Magruder was notified, by order of the COM
mander, that the federal column was moving
towards him, and his reply was that he was
prepared TO defend his position, and invited
him TO come on.
On Saturday the federal pickets brought
twelve more slaves into Fortress Monroe. The
outragcs upon the persons and property OF
citizens continue, and much feeling has been
created in consequence ofarrcsts OF males and
females on the most trihing charges.
All is quiet about the blockading feet, but
it is said "a movement towards Yorktown must
be made in the course of II few days, or New
port Newspoint will be completely. invested,
the battery ON james river, opposite, being
sufficient TO prevent the aid of the war vessels
to the federal troops.
No troops have arrived TO reinforce the vol
unteers. A heavy rain prevailed at Old Point
all day SATURDAY.

killed, one mortal,y, one dangerously, and a
third severely wounded. The Contederates
claim that twelve men were seen to fall during
the skirmish; and that when the boat which
conveyed the retreating troops to the Free
| born was capsized, considerable number of
them were shot, the entire Federal loss being
estimated at nineteen.
The Skirmish at ROmney,- Va.
A dispatch gives the following account
of the skirmish at Romney:
One of the most brilliant affairs during this
war occurred on the goth ult., near Romney,
between u small detachment of Col. Turner
| Ashby's cavalry and party of 81 of Federal
cavalry. Capt. Dick Ashby first encountered
the enemy with | men, and was himself it
was feared, fatally wounded, but MS we have
since learned from a passenger direct from
/ Winchester, it is now hoped will recover--as
were also two others of his party, said TO be
Marylanders.
Turner Ashby being not far off, heard the
firing, and with eight men charged the enemy,
drove them in the utmost confusion across the
river killing 20 men and taking number OF
their horses, accoutrements, &c. Col. Ashby
slew five with his own hand. This is said at
Winchester to have been the most splendid
affair during the campaign.
Scouting Party Fallen into Ambush.
WmMAMspoRT, June 2s,--A scouting party,
consisting of forty Federal troops, left this
place this morning for the Virginia shore. In
the evening four Of them returned. The rest,
thirty-six in number, were taken prisoners by
the Confederate forces. A great deal Of dis
satisfaction prevails among the troops en-
camped in this vicinity, owing to the quality
of the food ana thequantity of it. The troops
are murmuring greatly, and threaten mu-
tiny, if change is not made Immediately -
The health of the troops is very bad. Measles,
dysintery and fever and 'ague are prevailing
to an alarming extent.
One of the Horrors of Battle.
We learn that on Thursday last, two of the
dead bodies of the federal troops were found
in the woods, in tie ncighborhood Of the
Bethel battle-ground, in a state of decompo-
sition. They were traced out by means OF
the buzzards lowering over the spot. One OF
the corpses had in his hayersack a quarter of
baked shoat. 1t is supposed they had crawl
ed away from thoscene of battle after being
wounded, and died on the spot on which they
were discovered From their uniforms it is
presumed they were members of the Zouave
regiment 1t is said that all along the road
from Bethel to Hampton a most intolerabe
stencil prevails and that from the appearance
of the misunderstanding round about there
must be numbers ofputrifying carcasses in the
woods. NORFOLK Day Book.
Arrival of Prisoners.
The Richmond Examiner of Monday says
Two prisoners, one Federal dragoon, the
other one of Ellsworth Zouaves, arrived in
the Central cars yesterday. Their manner is
defiant and staggering. They say they are
but the advance guard, and that Gen. Scott
will certainly march into Richmond, ut the
head Of victorious army, on the 4th fully

THE SENTINEL.
The Reign of Terror.

Not eontented with setting aside, with con-
tempt, the opinion of the Supreme Court, and
that great safeguard of personal liberty, the
writ of ha6eds corpus, the Lincoln administra-
ton seem determined to fill to the brim the
cup of degradation for the people of Mary
land. Gen. Banks, 1.-THE same who a few years
ago was willing to let the Union slide, under
the orders of Lincoln, has broken up the city
government Of the city of Baltimore mpri-
soned the commissioners in Fort McHenry,
filled the streets and public places with infant
ry and artillery, and substituted a military
government as arbitrary as that of Austria OF
Russia; and all this, under the pretense OF
sustaining liberty and the constitution 1t is
stated, also, that Mr.. S. 7. WALLIS, one of the
most patriotic and ablest members of our Lee
gislature, and I. PARKiN ScorT, prominent
citizen Of Baltimore, have been arrested. The
abolitionsts wish even to crush TIE voice Of
liberty in the State They begin by clamor-
ing for the liberty Of the Legro and end by
enslaying the most intelligent and patriotic
of our white citizens. When old John Ad-
ans got law passed interfering with the
freedom of speech and of the press, the
country rose in its might, and hurled Linn
and his party from power; but now, without
law, by the arbitrary will of Lincoln, thou
sand times worse acts are perpetrated, and
the military brought to sustain them; and
this is called sustaining the Constitution
Truly, words without meaning, and words
misapplied, are the everlasting engines of
fraud and injustice.

Seizure of the steamer 81. Nicholas.

WAsHISGToN, July Charles Worlhing-
ton, agent for the steamer st. Nicholas, to-day
addressed to the Secretary of the Navy the
following statement;
The steamer st. Nicholas left Baltimore on
Friday last at 2. NJ, laden with freight for
consumption of the citizens Of st. Mary and
Charles counties, Maryland, and with other
cargo for Washington, Alexandria and George
town. She also had on board number of
passengers who were to be landed at her re-
gular landings on the Maryland shore of the
Potomac river. 1t is reported by the officers
of the steamer Diamond State, which arrived
here on Saturday, that they saw her about !
O'Clock that morning leaving Point Lookout,
aud heading under great speed for the Yir-
! GINA shore.
| Nothing has been heard of her since. will
add that after an interview with you and your
chief clerk IL week since, took passage on her
on Tuesday last for Baltimore for the purpose
of coneerting with Capt Ward as to the most
effective mode Of preventing the landing on
the Maryland shore Of any articles intended
for transportation across the river into Vir-
| gnia, and at the same time avoiding any UNI
necessary detention to her,
The arrangement he made was mutually sat
isfactory, and he promised TO meet her every
Saturday morning at the mouth Of the river,
and give her pass to proceed on her trip,
but alas he is no more, and doubtless evil
disposed persons took advantage of the alb
sence Of Government officer, and made the
seizure. As the lives and property Of 10y al
citizens Of Maryland and Of the District of
Columbia are hazarded by her detention, may
ask what measure may at cnce be taken for
her capturc2
