Gen. Johnson's Winchester forces, reached
Manassas during the battle, and rushed to the

About two thousand Germans held meet
ing at Harmonic Garden, in Essex street, on
Wednesday last to take into consideration the
suffering and desG'ution now weighing so
heavily upon the working classes. A plan OF
organization was submitted for a general
"WoTkingmeu's Union,' in order to secure Il
better condition Of the working classes, and to
prevent such deplorable reverses as the present
oyertaking them. The president Of the meet
ing, Mr.. Michel, contended that, taking the
Declaration OF Independence, which declared
that "ali men were born free and equal" the
working man had the right to demand the
necessaries Of life at any time, and under all
circumstances. He said they would insis
that this right be recognized. Ii no other way
existed, be would commence "waT" on the

The Late Col. Charles F. Fisher.

The Raleigh IN. c. Standard, in a tribute
to the memory Of Col Charles F. Fisher, who
fell In the battle OF Manassas, says:
Col. Fisher, we suppose, was about forty
eight years OF age We believe he was { a
year or two at West Point, and that be after
ward prepared himself for the practice Of the
law. He edited for year OF so paper in
Salisbury. He was an able and accomplished
writer and good speaker. Hs was a mem
Der Of the State Senate in 1S54-5j, and dis
tinguished himself by his earnest advocacy Of
liberal system OF internal improvements.
Soon after be was called to the presidency Of
the North Carolina railroad, m which capacity
he evinced great energy of character and busi-
ness talents Of high order. He resigned this
pooition but few weeks since to take COM
mand of the splendid regiment which was
raised mainly By bis own eXertions.
His regard for his men, and his efforts to
render them comfortable, knew no bounds. Our
correspondent-One Of his own oficeTs, who
writes from Winchester under date Of the 18Th
speaks in the wa NEST terms Of bis devotion
to the service, and Of bis unwearied efforts to
provide for bis men. Col. Fisher was Of ar
dent temperament. frank in his intercourse
with others, unaffected in his manners, modest
and brave. II was natural, therefore, that be
should have many friends. He has fallen glo-
riOusly in a noble cause Itis believed be was
slain before the victory was fully won, while
engaged IN sustaining the heavy pressure on
the left wing OF our army.

started for quarters, apparently. OF course,
this excited 10 suspicion, bat instead uf re-

ing up the beach a short distance, he found
some drift wood, which was soon converted
into a raft, on which be embarked, without
sail or rud3er, "tTustiGg to luck" in the
success of his undertaking. About noon
be drifted from the sound, and in 2 little
wEile was abreast of the navy ward. At
this point he dsch ssged his musket several

who Immediately started to bis relief in

four hundred yards Of the beach OF Roses

also went to bis relief In little while be
was safe ashore, and surrounded by anxious
inquiTeTs He stated that be had enlisted for
the defense OF Washington last spring and not
to come South that be was here against his
will and wish, and that great many more on
the Island were in the same FIX. He says the
men are blEueEuifN LIeaEtC on lIe t5idDO, are

I present abandonment OF that expedition TO

deTstsnd, determined not to mo re bis "srand

suspension Of hOs'ilities against Tennessee
until further developments in Virginia. For
time, therefore,, General Bruce, Colonel

We trust no one will construe our remarks
into Jest, or think we treat lightly subject so
nearly involving the peace and safety Of our
people. We appreciate The enormity of The
outrage so nearly perpftrafed npon tbs people,
and we have endesyored before to warn the
people Of it. But cur voice is pOwerless. We
could only watch the progress of the expedi-
tion and await is result. It's termination was
az psIpable 20 our mind Al its inception. No
apprehension was aroused in our mird about
the safety Of Tennessee.
We know such an expedition win meet
more terrible rout and slaughter than the panic
stricken towards who invaded the sacred soil
of Virginia. Our only regret has been that his
Genera % NsL5On, who has done more than
any other man in the country to produce
civil war in Kentucky, was not to lead the sx-
pedition and would not be the first victim Of
the movement.

PATRIOTISM OF THE SoUTH.-As illustra.

Lincoln and his unho!y crew, gentleman re-

"a wounded soldier belonging to Captain
Kings company 7th regiment Georgia volun-
teers, is now in Richmond. He is twenty-sev-
en- years old. His wife is twenty-five. They
have fourteen children, niue boys and five
girls, eleven of whom are at schosl. His wife
gave birth to twins six timcs, who are i alive.
All the sickness Of the whole family since his
marriage would not exceed the sickness ef one
person three days. His parents raised twen'y
seven children, six boys and twenty -one girls.

one hundred and eighty pounds; is healthy

lNHVMAN TREATMENT OF AN AGED MAN

instance OF Inhuman treatment visited upcn

side OF Black river, was surprised 10 find.
without reason or foreknowledge, his house
surrounded BY some twenty five LiRcolnites.
The servants in the kitchen were prevented
from coming out, or even speaking. Mr..
Lowry demanded once or twice to know the
reason Of this action, and upon receiving no
answer drew his pistol and fred uDon them
through the windows. The FIRE was immedi-
ately returned by number OF the fellows,
whose halls passed in very close proximity to
Nj. LIS wife. The Fessians then rushed into
the house and seized Mr. Lowry, even before
be could get all bis clothes on, dragged him
out in anything but a gentle manner, using
bsrsh language toward him, pnlled him down
to the river. and pitched him very roughly into
the boat. They then srOwed him across the
river and m rched him upward nf three miles

blintiolded him, and amidst the ieers and ies :
Of the rascals, marched him backward and
forward through the streets. They then turn
ed him loose and allowed him to get hack home
as best be could. We can imagine Mr. L9wry's
suferings when we are tOld,thathe is near sew

Lowry has been in the habit of furnishing
feod occasionally to our vdettes while in the
vicinity, and it is supposed that this is the
cause Of all this wrath against him.
