A Washington dispatch to tho Tribune
says:
A scene at WilIard's Hotel, after dinner
to-day, illustrates the temper Of the times.
The Major Of New York regiment was
expressing his views against compromise as
those Of democrat through and through.
but Union man to the hilt, whom some
one touched his elbow and said, "Hush,
Ben Wood is here"
"Ben Wood and his brother Fernando"
shouted tho Major, "aro id internal
traitors. Feruandos moutupiece Ben, is
gambler and traitor, in order to help on
his gambling. If he dares to open his
traitors mouth in Congress for compromise
the steps Of the chamber will be crimsoned
with blood"
Ben, who was pallid and almost beside
himself with fear, at length stammered out
in tone not heard by tho Major, "You're
liar" and was presently led away by his
friends. The feeling Of the throng, in
which were Democrats as well as republi-
can members, was strongly on the side of
Major and against Wood.

Andy johnson on secession.

Senator Johson of Tennessee in his speech
at Cincinnati last week, gave the following
as his opinion of secession:
No Government can stand no religious,
or moral, or social organization can stand
where this doctrine is tolerated. Applause. I
1t is disintegration--universal dissolve
Matchmaking war upon every thing that
has tendency to promote and ameliorate
the condition of the mass of mankind
Applause. Therefore Irepeat, that this
odius and abominable doctrine-you must
pardon me for using a strong cxpression-I
do not say it in profane sense-but this
doctrine / conceive to be hell born and hell
bound and one in which will carry every
thing in its train, unless it is arrested and
crushed out from our midst. [Great ap-
plause.

but the rebels retreating to the woods he fol-
lowed and in skirmishing in the timber lost 80

Army CORRESPONDENCE.
CAmp CnAsE. July Q. 1861.


l. NJ. KELLER, DEAR SIR:-After leav-
ing Fremont on the 4lh at IL o'clock, ]
arrived at our Camp the same evening, and
found the company all vol, except what
few were sick with the measles at the time
l left there. They are, however rapidly re-
coveridg, and will soon be able to return
to their duties. The Fourth was celebra-
ted to some extent by firing salutes, and
reading the Declaration Of Independence.
In the evening the men enjoyed themselves
by sending up rockets, throwing fire-balls,
and preparing materials and sending up
two balloons.
Quite an excitement was createdi in Camp
yesterday, by the arrival Of % Virginia
Secessionists, who were captured by Col.
Norton's Regiment, now in Western Vir-
giHia. | have seen and conversed with
them. They are intelligent and gentlcmanly,
and consist of merchants, sawyers, farmers,
and mechanics of all kinds. One or two
of them that l talked With, say that in
their opinion the war has but Just COM
menced, and that it is to be very much la
mented that such state of things should
exist between two as good sections of coun-
try and people as the sun ever shone upon.
They say that they had never taken up
arms against our Government, and part
of them say that they voted against the
Ordinance of Secession in their State, but
were still looked upon as aiding the Rebels
They say that Governor Wise was in their
part of the State with a force Of some
o or 10000 men; and that they were al
down on him, and have been since he be-
came Governor Of Virginia. They said
in my presence, that if Wise and a few
more of the same stripe could be cut off
peace would soon be restored.
Most of them are quite old and gray
haired men; they have a sorrowful ap
pearance, and look as though they wish
they had never heard of secession.
They speak highly of Col. Norton, ant
Lieut. Col Neibling, of Findlay, who they
say are perfect gentlemen, and who treated
them kindly. l do not know what dispo
stion is to be made of them.
cannot give you any more items thi
morning. Yours truly, A. ]. HALE.

Impressment of British subjects In tho
Rebel Army,

Mr. Russell writes to the London Times
under date of New Orleans, May 25:
"British subjects living in New Orleans
have been seized, knocked down, carried off
from their labor at the wharf and the work
shop and forced by violence to serve in the
'volunteer' ranks! These cases arc not iso-
lated. They are not in twos and threes,
but in tens and twenties; they have not oc-
cured stealthily or in by ways; they have
taken place in the open day and in the
streets of New Orleans. These men have
been dragged along like felons, protesting
in vain that they were British subjects
Fortunately, their friends bethought them
that there was still British Consul in the
city, who would protect his countrymen-
English, Irish or Scotch Mr.. Mure, when
he heard of the reports and of the evidence,
made energetic representations to the au-
thorities, who after some evasion, gave or
ders that the impressed volunteers should
be discharged, and the Tiger Rifles and
other companies were deprived Of the SER
vices of thirty-fve British subjects whom
they had taken from their usual avocations.
The mayor promises it shall not occur again"

WooDvILLE, July 3, 1861.
M. KEELER-Dear Sir:-Having Just re-
turned from Camp Darlington few words from
me in regard to matters there may not be unin-
teresting to your readers in this section of the
county.
1 arrived in camp on the morning of the 2sth
ult., and found the men in good spirits and
health and anxious to go over into Virginia and
have chance at the rebels. They will be gra-
titled soon.
On Sunday morning about o'clock, after the
pckets opposite Point Pleasant, at the mouth
of the Kanawha river, Va, had left, Jenkins,
the Guerrilla chief, with 20 armed troopers en-
tered the place and captured two leading Union
men, (Charles Waggoner and Charles Miller,)
took them to Charleston, the rebel Headquarters
and, it is feared, will hang them. The alarm
came, and before 8 a, M, about $50 men of one
of the regiments entered the town and captured
81 secessOnists, and at 2 p IN. landed them at
Gallipolis, as hostages.
Col. Norton, at the head of $50 men, went up
the Kanawha on a scouting expedition, but had
not returned Wnen L leIJ. NAL Taylor was rea-
dy with corps to reinforce him if necessary
Col. Nibling took the prisoners down. II

rebels shake in their breeches when they saw the
determination of our boys made myself USE

whole affair was transacted without bloodshed

their homes without getting a man TO partake
of the feast prepared for them. The country
people, to the distance of Is miles, came with
provisions. On Friday, June 26th, 80 or 40
wagons, buggies and carriages came to the camp
with their gifts l should Judge the supply OF
provisions was good load for two horses. This
was the third time that the whole-souled and
hospitable people had treated the soldiers there
to the best the country afforded.
