pzss- THAr TwEsrY- SEVEN TaoUsAED
EyOLLARs---It VIII ue remembered tina; the
Virginia rebel Convention recently ordered
tho stoppage OF the work on the Weston
I.antic Asylum, at Weston. They did
this in hopes Of saving the tKenty-seyen
Thousand dollars deposited at Weston, to
the credit of the proposed institution
The loyal Government through Gen Nc
CICllau and Capt. List, put " stop to that
arrangement by going down there aud ta-
king the money. We think this cud of the
State has made IL pretty good thing out of
it. We need MONEY almost ia badly rs
they do down at Richmond, and are in no
pirticnlar need of Lunaiic Asylum.-
They can have all the Lunatic Asylum
they want, If they will give us the money.
Just now coin il infinitely preferable to
crazy people.

whether the Presidents message will lie
transmitted 10 Congress to-morsow or FRI

be definitely stated thatitBe document will
be tcleg.aphed to the press, as no copies Of
it will be sent out 10 adyauce. The re-
ports Of the Secretafies of War, Navy aud
Treasury, are now complete, but they are
as unattaina ble as themessage itself The
latter will NOT much exceed in length the
Presidents Inaugural, ahd will be devoted
exclusively 10 questions growing out OF TIC
War IL viii be decided aad emphatic il
favor Of the naintainRnce OF the unity and
indivisibiiily of the Republic at NIL haI-
ards.
Notwithstanding reports and rumors re-
speeding Maj Gen. Fremouts command, it
was not until to-day that conclusion was
reached by the Government. He had
long interview with the President last
night and will Mt once leave Washington

Mckinley, of tic Independent Rangers,
he being the first soldier brought here
wounded in an action. Considerable OK
citemcut was occa>ioned on bis Arrival,
aud from statements made by him, and
those of Il higher authority, the govern
mcnt operators CLEAN the following:
Between three and four O'Clock this
morning, the troops which have been Soa-
continuing at HagerstO~u and Willinms-
port, for several days past, crossed the
ford nj Williansport, Gen. Patterson re-
viewed them as they fled past. The morn
ing was bright and beautiful, aud the SOL
diers were in excellent spirits. Scouting
parties o: Capt. McNlullen's Rangers, and
others selected from the !st WISCONSIN
Regiment, were out At midnight, and FREE
quentiy during the night, brisk firing whs
heard between the Federal pickets and
those of the enemy, on the Virginia side.
Tie proper fords having been ascertaiued,
the udynnce took place before daylight,

McMalen's Rangers. the lst Wisconsin and
the ilth PennsylvaniR Regiments. The
advancing columns consisted OF the Brig
ades of Ambercromb;e, Thomas and Neg
ley. The independent Rangers behaved
remarkably well, getting close up to tbs
euemy at distance of only 70 y&rds:-
ALercrombie's brigade led the sdvAnce. and

The whole of the rebel forces at Mar
iiushurg, consisting of four regiments OF
infauuy and Que OF cavalry, We Q engaged
in the action. They had with thcn four
pieces of artillery, part of them riaed can
uon, and were commanded by Gen Jack
scr. The first city troop OF Phihdelphia
were assigned 4 position near the United
States cavalry, under Capt. Perkins, aud
behaved remarkably we'll.
as tar us known the casualties on our
side are only two killed and severalw wound
cd. Several Of the dead and wounded of
the secession troops were left ON the field
in their hasiy retreat. one or two of whom
were buried by our men. The loss of life
on their side is said to he very heavy.
III anticipation of tue retreat OF our
forces the rebels had levrled the feuces on
both sides of the turnpike even with the
ground, SO as to cut them off in the event
OF their retreuting to the Potomac. The
frs, stand was made at Porter6eld's fnrm
on the turnpike, near Haynesviuc, where
it was necesstry to destroy At carriage house

conflict was fierce, the rebels standing we'll
up TO their work, and finally SiOwlY re-
treating: Knapsacks and canteens were
hastily thrown aside as cumbersome TO
II basiy march. They left behind them
number OF blankets aud other valuable ar
ttcles, indicating heavy loss on their side.
