SPAIN DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE
REBEL FLAG.

WASHINGTON, sunday, sept. %.
Mr.. TAssARA, the Spanish Minister, has call
ed to assure the Secretary of State that the
report from Charleston that the Captain Gen,
eral of Cnba has issued proclamation, recog,
nizing the rebel flag, is untrue. What has
happened is, that vessels from any port in the
United States, in possession of the rebels, com
ing into port with irregular papers, are ad-
mitted er neoessitate, without notice of their
irregularty, just as they have been admitted
in all other ports since the rebels obtained
possession of the Custom-houses in the insur
gent States. 1t is needless to say that 10 such
vessels can be abroad without escaping the
blockadiug force There is no recognition Of
a rebel flag in the Spanish ports or in any
other ports.

ANXIOUS TO GET THE NEws-On Monday
at IL O'Clock, while five. Companies of the Odd
New York were out on picket duty, a Con
federate officer beconed the advanced picket
for an interview Onr picket advanced, when
the other asked if he could see the captain in
command. The request was granted, and
Capt. Loyden met the Confederate Captain
Saunders of the Eleventh South Carolina
Regiment, our Captain stating what arms be
bore, and inquiring if the meeting was to be
hostile one Capt. Saunders said he was
also armed, but desired only a friendly inter
view. The result was afriendy interview and the
conversation turned upon the subject OF pick
cts firing upon each other, which they deplOred
as contrary to the usages of civilized warfare,
and what Capt. Loyden stated was contrary
TO the express order of his Colonel, who for
bade his men to cause death except in case Of
self-defense But Captain Saunders dropped
the subject, and impatiently inquired if it was
true that the Cape Hatteras fort had been
captured that it was heavy blow upon North
Carolina and the whole Southern coast
Capt. Loyden remarked that many such heavy
blows would have to be struck before the war
was closed and, ont eHdering Capt. Saunders
some cigars, which he remarked was a luxury,
and a rare commodity in the Confederate
camp, the officers shook hands, exchanged sa.
lutes, reversed positions, and separated, each
returning to his command. PHILADELPHIA

p5~ There have been since the organization
of the Federal government eleven attempts
made to resist its authority. The first was
made in 1882 and was conspiracy of some of
the officers of the Federal army to consolidate
the thirteen States into one, and confer the
supreme power on Washington. The second
was in 1881, called Shay'S" InSurrection in
Massachusetts The third was in 1894, popu,
larly called The Whiskey InSurrection of
Pennsylvania The fourth instance was in
1914 by the Hartford Convention Federalists.
The fifth, on which occasion the different sec.
tions of the Union came into collision, was in
1920 under the administration of President
Monroe, and occurred on the question of the
admission of Missouri into the Union. The
sixth was a collision between the Legislature
of Georgia and the Federal government in re.
gard to certain lands given by the latter to
the Greek Indians The seventh was n 1880
with the Cherokees in Georgia. The eight
was the memorable multiplying ordinance of
South Carolina in 1882 The ninth was in
1912, aud occurred in Rhode Island, between
the Suffrage Association" and the State au-
thorities. The tenth was in 1856, ou the part
of the Mormons, who resisted the Federal
authority. The eleventh is the present at
tempt at secession

ENGAGEMENT WITH REBELS.
WAsnINGroN. Sent. lI. Is6

WASHINGTON, sept. IL, 1861.
A large party started out at seven O'Clock
this morning from the vicinity of Chain Bridge
under the command of Colonel STEyENs,o of the
New York Highlanders
1t consisted of several detached companies
Of infantry, a company of cavalry, and Capt
GRIFFIN's battery.
AS our skirmishers advanced, the enemy's
pickets retired beyond LewinsVills about seven
miles beyond Chain Bridge
Our troops having accomplished the object
OF their errand, connected with the reconnois-
sance of the country, began to retrace their
steps, when large force of Confederates, con-
sisting of two or three regiments of infantry,
and Col STEWARDS regiment of Virginia cav
airy, with battery of four pieces, were seen
approaching from the direction of Falls Church,
evidently with view of cutting them off and
preventing their return to their camp.
Line of battle was formed by the enemys
forces, and the Confederate battery opened
with shell, which was replied to by GRIFFIN S
battery Several rounds were fired on each
side, when our troops ceased firing for about
twenty minutes, in order to give the enemy an
opportunity, which they did not embrace, of
meeting them on the open feld-the COnfed-
crates being for the greater part concealed in
the woods
Our forces, on resuming operations, brought
INTO action 32-pounder, the she'll from which
soon Silenced the COnfederates' battery.
The gun was then directed towards the
cavalry, which appeared on the road leading
to Falls Church, and soon sent them flying
number reeling from their saddles and fall,
ing to the ground as the she'll exploded in their
midst
The command was then given to withdraw,
and our column fell back in good order to
Chain Bridge, reaching there late in the after
noon.
General SMITH, commanding the division to
which these troops are attached, arrived on
the ground shortly after the engagement com
menced, and at once assumed the command.
