The reporter of the Philadelphia n orth
American learns the following facts from
Mr.. Br. Brownell, the avenger Of Col
Ellsworth:
On the night before his regiment left
Washington, Ellsworth and some of the
captains of his regiment were in quar-
tiers preparing for the morrow's march.
Capt. John Wildly, Of Company I was,
perhaps, the favorite Of poor Ellsworth.
The two soldiers, in the same room, we're
selecting their apparel for the next
days march. Capt. Wildey laid out his
ordinary dress, and was preparing to put
it on.
Ellsworth had done the same thing,
but as Wildey was robing Ellsworth stood
in musing attitude.
"Why don't you dress yourself?' ask.
ed Wildey. who was robing with consid-
cradle expedition.
81 am thinking" said Ellsworth slow.
ly, Sin what clothes l shall de-"
"Die, my dear fellow! What do you
talk of dying for? Before you die you
will see the American :s Gxs sg S Sgs, ey
exiled."
Ellsworth shook his head sadly and
said nothing for moment. He then
smiled his peculiarly sweet and pensiye
smile, and opening trunk produce d an
entire new uniform, as yet fresh from the
hand of the tailor.
If am to be shot tomorrow, said
he, and | have presentiment that nv

country-it IS in this suit that l shall
die" and suiting the action to the word
he donned the handsome uniform, and in
few minutes was as gay and jocuud as
though, instead of preparing for battle,
he was preparing for the festivities Of a
wedding PARTY.
Five hours afterward a bullet sped
through his heart, first cutting in two .

DEATH OF HON. 9. A. DOUGLAS.

DEATH OF HON. 9. A. DOUGLAS.
We cannot better give expression
our feelings in contemplating this sal
event than in copying the following from
the Davenport Gazette:
Hon. STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS died a

at little after 9 o'clock. Our reader
were prepared for this sad news, as 70
many days it has been known he was ly

disease and helpless, with occasional re
ports-"all is over" His iron consti
tuition made the struggle with Death o.
long duration, and led many to hops
for time that the great destroyer NIGH
be turned aside. But this was not t.
be. DOUGLAS Is DEAD
That he was man Of the highest or

powers, the whole country has acknowl.

Clay was ever more worshipped by pc.
litical party, or had more closely bound
all its interests into identity with him.
self. No man during his time had been
more intimately connected with all the
movements Of politics, or in the passing
history of his Government. His name
had been household word in every part
Of the country, and il was the represcn
tasive OF great ability, stupendous energy
aud uuvun,ro,labie ambition.
Had Douglas died few months ago he
might have been mourned as a politician
among politicians, although the country
would have recognized in the event the
plotting out of one Of its brightest intel.
tects. To-day the country, or all that is
good and true in the distracted Union,
mourns him as Patriot. He fortunate.
~ lived long enough to place his distin-
guished name on record as true and loyal
to the Government When the time
came he waited not for other men, but
boldly, as man and as Patriot, gave
his voice for the Union, and his pledged
word and hand to aid in crushing that
Treason which was tearing at the vitals of
the Republic. Glory and eternal memo

Douglas is no more. Let the evil he
did live not after him, but be inferred

The Fight at Aqua Creek.
WASHINGTON. June

W WASHINGTON, June :.
The following facts have been obtain.
ed of the contest at Aqua Creek: The
engagement began on Friday and lasted
two hours. On Saturday it was renewed
for four hours. The lower beach battery
damaged on Friday was repaired. The
force Of the Confedcrates was supposed
to be 1000.
On Saturday the Freedom approached
within two miles and commenced FIRE.
The Pawnee took nearer position for
the first hour. The firing was brisk
from the shore batteries. During the
engagement the Pawnee fred one hund.
red and sixty shells. An observer saw
through telescope numbers of bodies
carried away in wagons. The officers
say the Confederates had riaed cannon.
Both vessels were damaged but slightly.
One shot went through the Freedom s
cabin. The Pawnee received eight shots
The Anacosta was here this morning and
returned. The Pawnec and Freeborn

Southern Confidence.

As a significant indication of Southern
confidence in the insecurity of affairs in
that section, we may mention the fact
that, within few days past, we have re-
ceived from parties residing in Slave
States, thousands of dollars, intrusted to
US for safe keeping. This shows in Ian
guage stronger than words can express
it, what some of our southern friends
think of US and of the Gevsrnnmet un.
der which we live. We received one

q that pliss, remounted during Friday
night. The Pawnee Joined them in the
attack. Twelve Federal guns played for
four hours, and sgain silenced the lower

havoc. r',....-9 g..r> ...r
The upper battery could not be reach

Fifteen hundred rebels are encamped
at Aqua Greek, and have erected two
more secession batteries-one at dis
lance Of two and one-half miles, and the
other two miles, from the Creek. An ex-
petition will doubtless be organized this
week to attack the rebels by land.
