FROM NEW FORK.

New YORK, Sept. 25.--The Bermuda
Gazette of Sept. 10th, says the mate and
crew of the schooner Victoria had arrived
at Bermuda with Trinidad dates, and
states that the privateer Sumter had ar
rived there and obtained a supply of coal,
and left on the 9TH of August.
It is said the Governor of the island re-
fused to receive the officers sent on shore
from the Sumter. except as private gentle
men, and the same course was pursued by
the officers of her Majesty's ship Cadmns,
which vessel arrived at Trinidad while the
Sumter was there. The officers and men
of the Sumter were frequently on shore, and
numerous visits were paid by the gentle
men of the port to the steamer, and by
them the courtesy and frank kindness OF
her officers 10 highly spoken of.
The steamer Keystone arrived two days
after the Sumter left, and after remaining
about two hours, started out OF the harbor
at rapid rate to prosecute her search. The
hope is expressed by the Port of Spain Ca
zstte that Capt. Scott would soon be able to
carry out his instructions, as the presence
Of vessel like the Sumter in the neighbor-
hood, while the people are so dependent on
the Northern States of America for supplies
of the necessaries of life az Trinidad, is any
thing but agreeable.

opportunity to carry out his plan of attack
ing the rebel forces under Price and Nc
Cullough before spy interference with his
command is made.
The Stats Department has made sstisfac-
tory explanation 70 Lord Lyons in refer
ence to the new passport system. The omis-
sion to inform him of the adoption of the
new plan was merely accidental.
The condition Of Kentucky awakens the
iveliest interest. Several prominent citi-
zens of that State have arrived here for the
purpose of urging upon Government the ne
cessity of forwarding large numbers of fed
eral troops 70 sustain the Union men.
The Commercials special says the enc
nays entertainments on the Virginia side of
the Potomac have extended until they now

The peace mongers still profess to believe
that the confedeFates will attempt to cross
the Potomac at Edwards Ferry to Acquia
Creek, but there is no foundation for such
apprehension.

our lines this morning and was fred at by
the enemy. None of their shots, however,

The Difficulty Between Gen. FIRE.
mont and the Blafrs.

The arrival of Postmaster General Blair
from st. Louis yesterday, was the signal OF
a stampede upon him, to learn the difficult
ties pending between the President and
General Fremont, and the latter and Colo
mel Frank P. Blair, jr., but the Postmaster
General, being a constitutional adviser Of
the President, prudently preserved his .ex-
pressions and opinions until such time as be
shall be called upon to act in his official ca,
paeity. He regrets the existence of any
misunderstanding teuding to retard our
military operations in any mannar
learn, from another responsible source
that the proclamation of Gen. Fremont is
not At all offensive to Missouri, nor to the
Blairs. There is an objection to it in Mis-
souri, on the ground that most of the slaves
belong to Union men, consequently al the
rebel commanders will seize the slaves 81
Union men and run them off into Arkan-
sas. Some of the objections to General
Fremont in Missouri have grown ont OF
what is conceived to have been his neglect
to send General Lyon sufficient force to en-
able him to accomplish his purpose also his
failure to pursue General Green before be
escaped across the river.
The impression prevails in ST. Louis that
Genera4sGremout has been deYoting all his
time in organizing an expedition to proceed
South, instead of looking after the interests
of the State first. This blame is attached
to General Fremont upon the supposition
that he had at his command. the reinforce
ments needed by General Lyon. General
Fremont may be able TO show that he did
not have men with whom he could reinforce
General Lyon. Then there is little doubt,
as shown in the Herald of yesterday, that
General Fremont has been surrounded by
bad financial operators.
IL is true that, about two weeks since,
Colonel Blair did write letter to his
brother. the Postmaster General, and to the
President expressing himself totally disap-
pointed in General Fremont as a man COM
petent to command the department to
which be was assigned The existence OF
such letter was discovered by Mrs. Ere
mont, and communicated to the General,
whereupon Colonel Blair was arrested.
When General Fremont's Adjutaut notified
Colonel Blair that be was instructed to ar
rest him, Colonel Blair remarked" All
right deserve this humiliation for having
elevated Fremont to his present position, Of
which be has proved himself unworthy"
Colonel Blair expressed no desire, my in
tormant says, TO contend with General
Fremont on military point. He thinks
the General is right, and viii not contest
the point of discipline. lFash Cor Nelc

PARTICULARS OF THE CAPTURE
or IEYINGTO

CHICAGO, Sept~25.-From reports from
some of Mulligan's command who reached
this city last night we obtain the following
additional particulars
The meu left Lexington Saturday after
noon. Nearly two hours were occupied in
ferrying them across the river. At O'clock
they started for Hamilton, 40 miles distant
under the guidance of several armed seees-
sionists. The advanced portion reached
Hamilton at sunrise At 10 o'clock most
of the party took the train to Quincy.
Along the route to Hamilton they were ali
kindly treated. All the money they could
raise was employed to get wagons to carry
the wounded through. All those severely
wounded remained in Lexington. Lieut..
Hollenderg escaped. All accounts agree
that the rebel loss in killed and wounded
was from 900 to 1900.
The Quincy Wing states on information
of an intelligent member of Colonel Mar
shals regiment that a leading rebel sur
geon conceds their loss of 1,130. Our men
lost 1870 killed and wounded. Some 400
horses of Col. MarshaI's regiment were
killed, it being impossible to shelter them
from the enerHy's cannon. After the sur
render many of the men killed their horses
to prevent them from falling into the hands
of the enemy. A large sum of money, es-
timated at half a million dollars, half of it
in specie was secured by Price after being
buried by Col. Mulligan.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 25.--The committee of
practical mechanics, appointed by the Gin

into and report upon the Cause of the late
accident Rt bridge 48, on the 0. Il NJ. rail-
road, whereby so many soldiers lost their
lives, have visited the bridge and examined
the same, and their unanimous report was
presented aud adopted by the Chamber this
afternoon. The Committee say, that after
a careful examination of bridge IS, and
others, built at the same time and of the
same materials, they have come to the ,unan-
imous conclusion that the accident was not
occasioned by any insuficienuy of the tim
bers or iron works. They attribute the
accident to a broken rail which they found
at the west end of the bridge, as the loco.
motive and tender passed over the bridge
in safety, drawing after them one passen-
| ghr car. This car, as appears from mark:
/ upon the timber, misplaced the iron and
/ cross ties and threw the remainder of the

! bridge, precipitating them against the truss
and chords, breaking them down, and no

bers. They submitted to the Chamber the
broken rail with portions of the timber, ant

Another Committee of practical men, ap

Colonel of the 9th Virginia Regiment, now

Of this message, it would appear that the
rebel Generals still hold out q prospect of an
attack on Washington to their followers,
probably fearing to acknowledge, as yet,
the abandonment of that intention. The
Virginia Colonel sent distinct word that he

and the circumstances forbid the possibility
of his making any such announcement with
