am sorry at having unintenlfonallv done
injustice to the Southern bank, in giving credit
to the Mobile bank for having supplied Capt.
Homer with specie to pay off his command
This is asmall matter, as both banks pay gold
and silver, but as the circumstance was men
toned 1t should have been done correctly. The
Bank OK Mobile, a short time ago, furnished
nine thousand in silver, to assist the paYmas-
ter in settling with the troops.
There has been no addition to the fighting
squadron of late, though a large full-rigged
brig ard a fore and aft schooner was with the
feet a few hours this morning; they we're
thought by some, prizes off the Balize or Texas.
The Macedonian, or the vessel supposed to be
her, sailed Saturday night.
Quite a humber of officers are in town to-
day. among them an old (young) acqusin-

Mississippi regiment. The Tenth is one of
the hnest regiments in the service, and forms
a part Of the brigade of the chlVslric Chal-

Capt. Horace Randall, Of The regular armv.

CAPTURE OF J. p. PRYOR, OF mis-
SISNIPPI. AT MANASSAS.

The war correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Iaguirer, who witnessed the great battle
on the 21st at Manassas, gives the fol
lowing account Of the capture Of Quarter
master PRYoR, who has been an occasional cor
respondent of both the APPEAL and ADalawehs
during bis s%ojouTn at Winchester, in Genera
Jobnson's command
We then went back.to the edge Of the woods
where our hospitals were located. In a little
negro cabin where the wounded we're being
carried in, we secured the names Of about a
dozen in our notebook, and passed over to an
other and secured the names Of the New York
Second killed and wounded. Here we founa
a prisoner, Just brought in, who gave bis name
as J. P. Pryor, and on questioning him closely
we found be was a first cousin Of Congressman
Pryor, Of the Potter duel notoTiety. He was

under General Johnston-was for five years
editor of the Eagle, published at Memphis,
Tennessee, and in the last campaign was the
leader of the Douglas forces at Vicksburg,
Mississippi, where he edited the Vicksburg
SsaiineL.
He said their loss was heavy, that our artil-
iery o~utnumbered theirs, and did great eXscu-
ton whenever we had a sweep At them.
The first question be asked was, "How

We informed him that they were servants

negroes in fine fighting order. He kept bis
bat down over his eyes, and seemed very much
downcast. He said they had about $4,000
men, and though whipped then, could never be
conquered. He had no arms, not even a sword;
his pants were miserable cotton stuff, with a
gold stripe down the sides, and his hat was a
Kossuth, and fastened up at the sides with d
button, on which were arms Of the StaCe OF

ETEN nE InHN RUIHA


The northern journals are violent in their
denuuciatiOn Of the British government at
present. They don't like the tone Of the
English press IN their comments upon Ameri-
can affairs. They are confident that England
has designs against the "integrity Of the
Union," and will soon give some practical
demonstration Of them in breaking up the LIN
coin psFer blockade. The New York Tribune,
the World, and the Herald, in particular, have
all been fretting and grumblisg ever since the
rights Of belligerents were accorded the Con-
federate States BY the British Parliament, and
in The official proclamation Of he queen. The
Herald, in a late Issue, harping on the subject,
asserts that this act was " an ofeDse'' against
the LINCOLN government " which still agra
Yates the northern breast, and viii not easily
be forgotten or forgiven.' Il can as little be
justified, according to BENNETT, as the &C.
knOwledglng Of such rights to the leaders Of
the Irish rebellion, or the mGtiny in India,
could have been by the United States, bad such
a policy been adopted by that now defunct
nation.
But the best ofthe Joke is the retribution that
awaits England in the future for this obnox-
ious act, and the manner of its execution.
That government may "rest assured" says the
beliieose warrior Of the Herald, "that when
the rebellion, which at present agitases this
continent, has subsided, both sections Of the
country will sooner or later unite 70 resent The
~insult.o This raw head and bloody bones has
been held up by the same sapient philosopher
repeatedly before. The russ was tried bv that

The bold position taken by the Eng ish min
istry, ard Inc fearless tone Of the press, with
the my terious movement Of British frigates,
gnnboats and thousands Of troops toward
Canada, show the extent Of that attention
which is paid By England to this puerils and

potism to declare war for The redress Of al

Of abolition fsnaticism.

The proceedings Of the federal congress on
the 24.h indicate that the abolition leaders are
w~rangling fercely among themselves. We
find the following in the special correspondence
Of the Cincinnati Commercial:
WASHINGTON, July 24-In congress there
was a very striking passage at arms between
Burnett, Of KY, and Richardson, of I'll the
latter charging the former with being an enc

ment. Burnett very eXcitedly Tei)ined, making
the matter personal. Richardson said, so
help him God, if the gentleman desired a per-
sonal controversy with him, he could have it
anywhere.
Vallandigham said, "wben the enemy was
within cannon shot OF the capital, II was IN
seemiy to hear such talk in the house - TCries
Of "pshaw, Pshaw."1 Richardson, after back
ing down Burnett, and using him up complete
", proceeded to condemn Republicans for dis
trusting General Scott, who had fought the
late battle against bis Judgment. Whose fault
was It? II such things are permitted TO con-
tinue, they would destroy the government.
"Unless you rally around BIN the country will
not support you. II you had not forced him
to precipitste this calamity, Won would have
had a victory without fighting a battle.o

CO Judge Catron, of the abolition supreme
court, has returned to his home at Nashville.
He isthe only member Of the old court, from the
seeding States, who continues to retain bis
place under the rule of abolltionism. The
Nashville Gazette says
We had hoped that Judge Catron, under
standing to som extent the feelings Of our
citizens in reference 10 his late conduct, would
not return to Nashville, without repudiating
or materially modifying bis sentiments. But
sickness in his family now renders bis presence
here necessary, and on that account we sim
ceTly trust that cur citizens will bear with
him patiently. This is a law and order low
ing people, and thus far in the revolution and
civil war going on have maintained their high
character in this respect. They will continue
to deserve such reputation.

Loss OF H FEDzRA1s.-The New York

Loss OF THE FEDERALs.-The New York
Herald says:
There can be no longer a doubt about the
disastrous nature of the retreat Of our army
from Bull run to Arlington Nights. In killed.
wounded and prisoners, the loss amounts prob
ably to twenty thousand, including many Of
the best officers, together with the whole of
the splendid battery.
According to the statement Of two fire
Zouaves, they only have about 200 left from
the slaughter, while the 69th and 18th regi-
ments frightfully suffered in killed and wound =
ed. The number cannot now be known.
Sherman's, CarlisIes, Grifin's, and the West
Point batteries were taken by the enemy, and
the eight siege and thirty-two rife cannon, the
latter being too cumbrous to remove. They
were two miles the other side of Centerville.

July "a 1901.
There was a scene Of much interest and ex-
element at the depot Of The Central railroad
last evening. Several thousand persons had
gathered there to await the arrival of the
evening train from Manassas which should
bring fuller intelligence Of the battle than the
telegraph had been able to supply. There
were the committees appointed for the recep-
ton Of the wounded soldiers, together with a
large number of the relatives and friends Of
these brave but unfortunate fellows; there was
a special guard Of honor to escort the remains
Of the lamented Gems. Barlow and Bee and
Col. johnson to the capitol where they should
remain during the night; there was a large
military guard Of another kind to march off to
Jail the prisoners taken in the great engage
ment, and then there was that m~iscellaneous
multitude, made up Of all classes from the
respectable citizen TO the street ~loafer, which
can be so readily assembled at the hour Of dusk
in any city upon an extraordinary occasion.
The crowd was at length found to be so dense
in and around the depot, obstructing the tracks
and impeding the convenient approach of the

to detail ~sentries to clear a space and thus pre-
vent a dangerous confusion upon the coming
Of the train.
At the expected hour, the whistle was
heard, and a few minutes afterward the loco
motive, with its long line Of cars, arrived at
the depot. In a moment it was known that
President Davis was among the passengers, on
his return to the seat Of government, and a
wild shout Of welcome went up that might
have been heard throughout the city. In re-
Spouse to the earnest call of the crowd, the
President addressed them in a short speech,
marked by his usual modesty and good taste,
