THE AMERICAN FLAG IN BKRLiy-The follow
ing is an extract FROM dispatch from Mr.. Judd.
| our Minister at Berlin
"The German Turner'S Association Of young
men, for their mental and physical devel opment
had grand National Representation Celebra
ton in the City Of Berlin, in the early part Of
August. delegation Of German Turner'S from
the United States, had also come to participate
IN the iesuvitles, which, although largely par.
taking Of political character, passed without
the slightest interference Of the Government or
police-a most hopeful sign for the cause Of
liberalism in Germsny-and as our American
Turners had no banner. the Gag of the Amsri-
can Legation was readily loaned them. The
Stars and Stripes had the first rank Of all the
representative emblems Of nationality, the Amer.
lean Turner's having been assigned the head of
the procession; and had the pleasure Of
knowing that, although our flag cannot be
cheered In Charleston, II was cheersd most
heartily In the Capital Of Prussia on that oc.
asion."

CINCINNATI, Sept 26.--The committee of prac.

port upon the cause OF the late accident ut

and their unanimous report was presented and
adopted by the Chamber this afternoon. The
committee say that after careful examination
OF Bridge "a, and others built at the same time
and Of same materials, they have come to the
unanimous conclusion that the accident was not
occasioned by any insufaciency of the timbers
or iron work. They attribute the accident to
broken rail, which they found at the west end of
Bridge. y
As the locomotive and tender passed over the
bridge in safety, drawing after it one passenger
car, as appears from marks upon the timber.
misplaced the iron and cross ties, which threw
the remainder Of the cars from the track. a.
they entered the bridge, thus precipitating them
against the truss and cords, and breaking il
down, and not from any weakness or decay of
the timbers. They submitted to the Chamber,
the broken rail with portion of the timber and
diagram Of the bridge.
Another committee of practical men, appoin.
ted on the part Of the road, have made substan.
TALLY the same report.

charge, but indicated the writer of the SANDER

for, proved to be the right party, failed to prove
the treason charged to Ben De Bar, and was
himself convicted of very frail loyalty, having
on one occasion threatened to disown son for
entering the Federal service. The Marshall re.
marked upon the singular turn things had taken,
said under the circumstances he should not in
aict punishment, but before dismissing Mr.. Eos

of oath it is possible to take covering past, pre-.
sent, and future, and pledging him not only to
neutrality, but to active efforts FOR the safety

NEW YosK, Sept. 25.-A special dispatch from
Washington to the Evening Post says, it is un.
derstood that the Government will take no i'm.
mediate action in the case of Gen. Fremont.
The General will be allowed full opportunity to
carry out his plans of attacking the rebels W.
der Price and McCulloch before any interference
with his command Is made.
The State Department has made satisfactory
explanations to Lord Lyons in reference to the
new passport system. The omission to inform
him of the adoption Of the new plan was merely
accidental
The condition Of Kentucky excites the livel-
est interest. Several prominent citizens of that
State have arrived here for the purpose of urg-

tain the Union men.
The same special says that the enemy's in.
trenchments on the Virginia side OF the Potomac
have extended until they now reach from Mun.
sons Hill to point near Alexandria.
The panic mongers still profess to believe that
the Rebels will soon attempt to cross the Poto.

there is no foundation for such app,ehensions.

guarded by eighty-two soldiers. This proper

is intended that the former shall not exceed the
latter. The impression generally prevails that
the fort can accommodate large number of
prisoners-one thousand even has been consid.

however. The fort will contain large number
of men, but not that proportion of prisoners
The former can be Accommodated in their regular
quarters, while the latter must be secured in
such u manner as to render escape impossible
The classmates are used tor that purpose now and
some of them are very much crowded The gun

beds must be disposed, so that ten prisoners are
quite enough to place in one casemate, Ifth.se
prisoners are detained at Fort Lafayette all win.

The body Of Washington was conveyed to the

body was sent to the rebel camp, under flag Of

WASHINGTON, Sept. ga grand review took
place to-day Of cavalry and artillery-five reg

the President, foreign ministers and officers,
and McClellan's staff. in full uniform. The O.
N. Dept. is narrowly watching the conduct of

large force there.
The Fribune's Washington Special says:-To
my positive knowledge, a message was received
last Sunday p. m. by a lady in Washington from
the COL of the 9Th Virginia regiment, now at
OF near Manassas hill, from the nature of which
it would appear that the rebel Generals still
hold out the prospect Of an attack on Washing

acknowledge, as yet, the abandonment OF that
intention. The Virginia Col sent distinct word
that he would be in Washington On Sunday
next, and the circumstances forbid the posi-
bility of his making any such announcement
without being himself convinced Of its ruth
This simply shows that officers Of considerable
rank in the rebel army are still made victims OF
Davis and Beauregard's receptions.
