SEwELLs PoINT.-Captain Engle, of the Ma
Wy, has returned to Washington from a survey
of Sewell's Point. 1t is said he reports that the
Point is held by four thousand Southern troops,
and that a powerful battery is erected on the
shore The place is skillfully defended by
works, and the task of capturing it would be
great. Captain Engle, however, does not regard
its capture as at all necessary for the purposes
of the Government, for the present at least
especially as vessels Of war can pass the Point
without mourning the peril of injury from the
battery Captain Enge reports that the posi-
ton can be turned by rear movement, and
that by cutting off their communication with
the land the Southcrners can be starved out,

Death e1 Hon. Stephen A. Douglas.


Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois, died on
Monday last, in Chicago, after severe illness
Of some weeks duration. Mr.. Douglas was
born in Rutland county, Vermont, in 1918, and
was, consequently, 4s years of age at the time
of his death. Like most Of our great men, he
was the architect of his own fortune, and COM
yhenced life in humble circumstances. He lost
his father when he was but mere boy, and
soon after began work as an apprentice to
cabinet maker. After serving some time at the
trade he entered school, which he soon left to
follow his mother, who had married again, to
Canandaigua New York. Here he commenced
the study of law, and remained till 1881, when
he removed to Cleveland, Ohio. Subsequently
he went to Jacksonville, Illinois, where he was
employed as teacher, and where he was soon
admitted to the bar. In few years he was
made Attorney General of Illinois, and from
that date commenced his public career. He has
filled many offices of high trust, and was
member of the Illinois Assembly, Register of
the Land Office, Secretary of State, Judge of
the Supreme Court, member Of the House of
Representatives from 1843 to 1847, and United
States Senator from 184z to the time Of his
death.

IMMENSE COST OF THE WAR-A Washing
ington correspondent of the Baltimore San says
"The 'sinews of war are to be strained, in
the present conflict, to an unprecedented extent,
if the estimates talked of are correct. The pre-
sent daily average expenses Of the Federal Gov
eminent are estimated by some at million of
dollars day. A prominent fnancier of New
York reckons them at twelve hundred thousand
day The cost is enhanced by the difficulty
of securing accountability on the part of con-
tractors and also by the extortion of those upon
whom the Governmentbas been obliged to de-
pend for supplies, transportation, &c. A pro-
tracted war requires, as we have seen in the ex-
perience of European powers, a rigid system OF
responsibility and penalties for fraud upon the
Government"
AFFAIRS AT ANNAPo1Is.-The arms in pos
session of the Governors Guard at Annapolis,
and the Cadets at St. Johns College, which are
the property of the State, have been delivered
up by order of the Governor, and are now in
possession of the officer of the Naval Academy
The United States flag has been flying over
the dome of the State House for week past,
by order of Governor Hicks
1t now appears that Ex-Governor Pratt was
not actually arrested, but the commandment of
the troops at that point informed Mr. P. that
there were charges of grave character against
him, and requested that he would attend at his
headquarters. The call was made as requested,
when Ex-Governor Pratt made satisfactory
and was permitted to retain his liberty.

becoming dangerous to express anti Admins
tration sentiment"
There have been no Federal troops at Port
Tobacco, and we have no reason to suppose
there will be any sent here. One thing is clear,
they would find no employment in protecting
the Union men any more than Secessionists -
So far as we are capable Of Judging, no one in
Charles county needs protection from any quar-
ter. Our people are yet free and equal, and
although there be much difference of opinion on
many different subjects, we have yet to learn of
single instance where protection was either
needed or sought. We want no troopsshere of
any kind, for protection or other purpose.-
Peace is all we want, and if others will let us
alone the reign of peace, and presently 'good
will among men" will assert and maintain its
own. Judging from the multitudinous rumors
circulating, we are almost of opinion that some
persons would be right glad to have Government
troops here, though for what purpose we know
not. Charles county will be far better off with
out them than with them, and if our people
would consult their own interest they would at
tend to their legitimate business, the crops, &c.
and let those whose trade is war and carnage
carry on their death-dealing employment te
to their hearts content. We suppose, however
that the idle and unemployed of every commu.
nifty are constantly DESTROYS of novelty and ex-
element, and for that purpose often rumors are
set on foot with the vain hope that their char
actcr may arouse the Federal leaders from thei,
Iethargy and cause them to send down five hun.
