WAR MArTERs.-The intelligence Of the
burning OF the remnant Of Hampton by the
invaders, occasioned good deal Of indigna-
ton yesterday. This is the only news Of
any importance from the peninsular. A pri
yale letter from an officer. dated August Sd,
mentions The movements Of our troops in the
vicinity Of Hampton, and says: !" Gen. But
Ter had every opportunity to give Us fight,
but held off," An improbable story that Gen
eral Magruder had commenced the seige Of
Fortress Monroe. was in circulation ycster-
day. Gentlemen who arrived in the alter
noon, direct from Yorktown. report every
thing quiet. Tie story Of the evacuation of
Newport News, by the Federals, is now dis
believed
The conjunction of the forces Of Generals
Wise aud Floyd. at White sulphur Springs
has been effected, though il is hardly pruba-
bic that they will long ucrupy that locality.
We are assured that no backward movement
viii be made.
From our troops on the Potomac line there
is no news, either exciting or interesting.
The constant arrival Of stalwart soldiers
fram he South and the Southwest. shows
that our resources are BY no means exhaust
ed, notwithstanding the Black Republicans
laid that Aaitering unction 10 their souls al.

Hampt0n.-The report il pretty we'll coufrme q,
that the pleasant village Of Hampton. and quarter
miles from Fort Monroe and twelve and half from
Norfolk has been burnt by the Federasts. Unable to
contend with troops in the field, they dispos-
ed to crafty iendish spirit by wantony devastating
and destroying everything thy cannot make use Of
The report Of the evacuation Of Newport News is not
confirmed I,apPesrs rather that they are strengthen
ing their defences at that point.
Since the above was in type, we learn iiom the
Richmond Dispatch Of Monday. that Hampton was
burnt on Wednesday nigh, by our own forces under
Gen. Masruder This was considered military ne
cessiy as IL aseerained that the Federaliss in.
tended 10 make their winter quarters for which pur.
pose they had commenced throwing up Notifications
for its defence.
Accounts from Missouri are conflicting Report says
that Gen. Lyon, Tho Federal commander, has been
killed.

Messrs. JAMES R. PARTRIDGE, H. WINTER DAVIS
''u ARCHIBALD STIRLING, JR., want arms We
call the attention of our readers to the letter
which this triumvirate has addressed 10 the New
ork Tribune, and which we publish in another
column. These beligerent gentlemen seem to he
possessed with an insane desire to see the
secesslonists' of Baltimore treated as the Catbo-
TIC and naturalized citizens of MARYLAND were
ue''eo IN times past. They assert that the
seeeSsionlsts' are not only in the minority Init
are also SO completely subdued that even t,o ,,ro.
eA'o Vi 0ehefal BUTLER here was wholly unne-
ceSsary. They know that Baltimore is nm
der military domination already, and that
the Governor of the State has succeeded
IN dlsarming most of our military com
panies. But the fierce trio are not content
without arms. They have used all their influence
Tor the past six months to prevent the peonIe IF
Maryland from having an opportunity to EXPRESS
their sentiments in this critical exeencv. either
through the Legislature or otherwise, and now
they want to see the people of Baltimore coerced
and intmdaed. They have profted heretofore
individually and collectively, by the frauds which
rutiians perpetrated here, and we have no rea-
son to doubt that they would now accept the
fruits of wholesale murders. By all means, let
these gentlemen have arms. We desire peace, and
we are confident that, though war should desolate
the surrounding country, this community, at least,
will be quiet when it knows that Messrs PAM.
RIDGE, DAVIS and STIRLING have a gun aniece
But the people of Baltimore will one day or other
have something to say about the arbitrary and
oppressive measures which have been resorted to
here by the Government and its adherents; and
this effort to re-esablsh the supremacy of the
hreling clubs, through whose patriotic labors
these same gentlemen once obtained political pre-
ferment, will not be forgotten.

The Kentucky correspondent OF the Nashville
Onion, referring to the Federal gun boats says
The gun boat Conestoga was at Henderson
last Saturday, where she remained until Monday
afternoon, repairing a wheel which had been
disabled in an engagement with the land batter
les near Columbus. The Conestoga was former
" a tow boat, Having been used for several
years in conveying coal barges from lfttsburg
to New Orleans, and is at best a rotten hulk.
Since being converted into a gun boat not much
change has been made in her appearance the
cabin has been cut Off, the machinery placed in
the hold, and the hull caSed with iron.
Upon either side are four port holes, and IN all
she mounts but five guns and two ortars. The
guns are placed, one at the stern, a pivot gun
four at midships, capable Of giving a broadside,
and the mortaTs portable to any portion OF the
bout. Their cslibcT is one siNty-tour, two thirty
two, and two twentv-four Founders. An idea
has been formed, and obtains, that these gun
beats are terrible engines Of destruction. 10
resist the force Of o cannOn ball they are but
little better protected than is the lightest draught
freight boat ON the Cumberland river. The
pilot-house has been removed behind the wheel
houses, and is altogether unprotectedi the en-
gines are IN the held with the cylinder on a
level with the deck, altogether Unshielded. They
all are similarly constructed, and have never yet
presented themselves In proximity TO a battery
vifhuut BEING disabled.
