nSTWe have brief account of an engage
n1ent at Potomac Creek, small inlet which
makes in from the Potomac River about two
miles below Aqua Creek. This took place on
Monday, and is stated to us by an eyewitness
who was on the Maryland shore nearly opposite
the mouth of the creek. The steamer Live
Yankee, commanded by Capt Craven, and a
steam tug, were seen to enter the creek and
fire gun, when the Confederates on shore
Immediately opened battery and caused the
steamers to put out in great haste, at the same
time blowing their steam whistles for some sig
nal it is likely. The guns from shore were
fired with great Ia. lity aud precision and it
was not until the steamers were we'll over on
the Maryland side that they were beyond thei,
range Doubtless some of the balls took effect
as many were seen to fly very near and beyond

The correspondent Of the Associated Press,

A flag Of truce came into Newport New this
morning, with proposition giving our troops
twentyfour hours to leave, and announcing that
in case the place is not evacuated, they will
force US out The gunboat Dale of 20 guns,
at once went up from Old Point The Albatross
and Penguin are also stationed there, while the
Minnesota and seven gunboats at Old Point are
ready to assist should Newport News really be
attacked. Col. Phelps says he can hold the
place against twice his force which now consists
of four effective regiments
The intrenchments are of formidable char
acter, and the enemy will meet with a warm
reception. Both flags of truce of course repre-
sent that there is very large Confederate force
between Yorktown and Old Point. The Con-
fedcrates have to-day been practicing from a
battery at WiIloughby Point, some five miles
below ScwelPs Point and just below the Rip
Raps. AS am closing this letter, heavy firing

EFFECT OF OUR CIVIL WAR UPON ENGLAND.
Cores Liverpool Commercial Aapertiser, of July
country, says that "even the balance of power
in Europe may be disturbed by it's controversy
Also s'that its influence upon British industry
and commerce greatly surpasses that which
would be exercised by European war;" The
The Advertiser in conclusion, remarks:
"We are reluctant unbeevers in the posi-
bility Of any compromise that would reconstruct
cover no SOLID grounds f6r hope that the North
will withdraw her armies from the field until
matters shall arrive at such dire extremity as
will justify, if it does not compel, some kind of
European intervention"

YIn the Washington Star of the 21st ult.,
is the statement of one Chas Hunter Of that
city, who started to Charles county for the pur-
pose of buying cattleand sheep. He proceeded
as far as Nanjemoy, he says, and was unable to
procure any stock On his return, between the
White Horse tavern and Broad Creek church,
he was violently assaulted by two men, who
called him "a id Union dog"-and after
wards beat and robbed him Of all his money.
Now the truth is, Mr.. H. could not have tried
very hard to purchase stock in Charles county,
as other buyers have no difficulty in getting a
full supply. We learn, however, on enquiry,
that Mr.. Hunter came to Charles, but at the
White Horse. and Piscataway drank freely and
finally got to gambling. when he lost all his mo-
ney. This we believe to be truth. Is it not
strange that government papers and their min
ions cannot find truth enough to charge upon
the lower counties of Maryland but must resort
to lies and SANDER for the purpose of bringing
trouble upon an already deeply injured people ?
How desperate must be the cause which requires
bolstering by falsehood.

CoMPTRoLLEER OF MARYLAND.-We have
already mentioned that DR.. Dennis Claude, who
holds the office Of Comptroller of the Treasury
of Maryland, having declined to recognize A.
Lngan Jarrett, Esq, who was declared by the
Legislature to be rightfully entitled to it, the
latter had opened an office at Annapolis, and
been officially recognized by the State Treasurer
In addition to these facts, we learn from the
Annapolis Gazette that the Farmers Bank of
Maryland, in which the States money is deposi-
ted, has determined to pay no money on war
rants, as heretofore, but will pay on the Treasur-
er's checks only. This step is, of course, a vr-
tual acknowledgment of Mr.. Jarrett's right to
the office; inasmuch as the bank has been mott
fed that the Treasurer will issue checks on war;
rants drawn by no one but Mr.. Jarrett.

hearts pray for the success and support the
cause of-virtue and return to first principles?
There is no harm in this.
And when we look at the whole panorama of
the war, the grounds Of fight, the causes and the
ends is it any wonder that men should feel in
dignant?
But we Of Maryland must take no part in
this unholy war. We must as good citizens,
keep quiet in the whole matter. It was our
province to offer the olive branch of peace to
the two contendng sections, to seek for concilia-
ton, and in return for all this-even after cast
ing large vote for the Union in the State-we
are treated by these very powers with that con-
tumely and suspicion which should cause the
cheek of our good old State to burn with shame:
and further, for all this, are treated to large
bodies Of soldiers armed with bristling bayonets,
as our companions, in order, we suppose, to
prevent their dear protcges of Maryland from
doing themselves harm. Maryland is crushed
and down-trodden for Maryland's good Then
let us, as good citizens, bow and kiss the hand
chat smote us-for the present.

PORT roBAcco. MD.
Thursday Morning., August l, 1861.

Bss~The Lincoln administration, instead Of
pursuing kind and manly course towards those
whom they class as Southern rebels, are more
Infatuated, if any thing, and more determined
upon a vigorous prosecution Of the exceedingly
cirI war which now shakes and convulses the
whole country. And for this purpose every
effort is being made to stimulate the people of
the North by appealing to their prejudices, their
passions and their patriotism, lying so bitterly
to the poor fellows that many are induced to
leave their homes and join the army of invasion.
but, as they have been led to believe, the patri-
OF army, and do not find out the deception until
too late. When the time for going back arrives
with the three months men it is seldom single
company out Of regiment can by any posi-
bility be induced to remain, and what is more,
if they are allowed to go home the tales of hun
ger, gloom and despair related by them to their
fellows in the North cannot fail of staying the
tide Southwark Unfortunately many thou
sands have already enlisted for three years, be-
fore they had conversed with those who had
seen the elephant" But there is class whom
it would appear the Government may rely on
they are out in full numbers We alludc to the
Dutch and other foreigners, many of whom are
not naturaized and large numbers cannot speak
y word of English. To our mind this is dis
gushing and sckening,-to think that one Sec
ton Of the country is crying simply for their
rights as guaranteed to them by the Constitution,
and the other, composed of aboitionists and
foreigners deny the right, assert their power
and send down upon race of free white men
an army of Cabling Dutch, Spanish and other
foreigners.
One remarkable feature in all this is, that the
very men who few short years ago strove and
fought politically against the foreigner, are
often now their bosom friends, while those who
courted most their favor and put them almost
in their bosoms are now their inveterate enemies,
and standing on the defensive against the very
vipers whom they have sheltered from the storm
and warmed at their fresides.
Again, when we look at the present Congress;
when we Know that it is in the hearts of many
to suppress the liberty of speech, as was sus-
pended the habeas corpus; when we know that
if man shall dare upon either floor Of the pre-
sent Congress- to assert that The South has rights
and should defend their title to those rights, he
is insulted at every breath, and would be MUIR
dered if it were not for fear; when we see all
this among men who should constitute the most
dgnifed 'assemblage in America, is it any Won
der that we should be filled with sorrow and
sadness at the early and untinely end of this
our beloved land, which few months ago was
the boast and pride Of the whole world? Is it
any wonder, we say, that men should mourn
over the fading beauties of America? Is it any

RELEAsED.-Mr. g. S. Taliaferro, late a clerk
in the Treasury Department, who was arrested
at Port Tobacco, some time since, on the charge
of conveying information to the enemy, was re-
leased from Jail on Thursday, on taking the oath
of allegiance, and obligating himself not to be

CITIZENS OF ALExENDRIA ASSAULTED BY
SoLDIERs.-A correspondent of the Exchange,
writing from Alexandria, under date Of the 26th
ult., says:
The Lincoln hirelings in our midst have shown
by their conduct that they are wholly unworthy
OF the Kindness shown them by our citizens in
the hour of their distress and humility. Yestcr-
day one of these so-caled soldiers, in state of
lntoXicatIon, after abusing and insulting several
Irish women, went to the house of a respectable
colorcd woman, beat down the door, and was
proceeding to commit other outrages. when he
was seized by one Of our citizens, who had been
prominent In his attentions to the wants of the
soldiers on Monday. While undertaking to
take him to the guard-house, the citizen was set
upon by crowd of the friends of the drunken
wretch, Knocked down and then arrested. An
other citizen on the opposite side Of the street
was, without the slightest provocation, attacked
by the same party of soldiers, knocked down
and shockin9ly mutilated about the head.
Yesterday afternoon, as Mr.. Robert Jameson,
President Of the Exchange Bank, and his wife,
were walking out Columbus street, one of the
New York 35th men, who had previously sworn
that he would shoot some one of the ID
Secesslonlsts before he left, discharged his piece
the ball taking effect in the arm of Mrs. Jamie
son, nfilctlns wound that will, in all proba-
blllty, render anlputation necessary.
The residence of Rev. Mr.. Sprige (whose
father is Baltimorean) was entered yesterday
by an officer and seven men, and his furniture
broken up-beds ransacked and cut to pieces,
and the most wanton depredations committed.
The house of Sheriff Castieman was also seized
as a barracks, and the furniture in it ruined.
The officers here in command seem to have
no control whatever over their men.

WHO Feeds Yous

A correspondent of the Nashville Democrat
puts this question to the Cotton State seces-
sionists. He says that there are daily passing
over the Louisville & Nashville and Nashville
& Chattanooga Railroad, twenty car loads Of
breadstufs and meats, bought in the Northern
markets, and on their way to the State Of
Georgia and Alabama. The writer says he
has taken the number of car loads per day,
and feels safe in his estimates, as follows:
"We have nine cur loads Of corn, seven Of
-four, aud four of bacon, Each car contains
seyenty-fve barrels OF flour, two hundred and
eighty bushels of corn, sixteen thousand
pounds of bacon; that is one hundred and
forty. seven loaves of bread a day, besides two
thousand Eve hundred and twenty bushels of
meal, and sixty-four thousand pounds of ba-
con, to 20 with the breadstuffs." he makes the
following application Of the facts" These
figures show US that the people are very des-
titute of provisions, and they will make the
traitors suffer for the ruin that they are trying
to bring upon them. Look, we pray you, to
this self constituted anti-coercion committee
that you have among you They wish to bring
you to ruin You will not follow them

Resolutions Of the Indiana Legislature.
Below we give the bold and spirited resolu-
tons which passed the Legislature at Indian
apolis few days since;
WHEhEAs, We, the Renators and Sepresent-
atives Of the people Of Indiana in General
Assembly convened, have read with pain in
the messages Of the country, Of the intent Of
a body OF men in the Southern States of this
coniederacy, to compel all vessels navigating
the waters Of the Mississippi river to heave to
and be examined; and whereas, we believe
we should be unmindful Of our dGty to our
constituents, unjust to Indiana and The great
Northwest If we should not speak out upon
the question OF the free and unobstructed
navigation Of the Mississippi, upon whose
waters float annually hundreds of million
Of dollars worth of our commerce and tens Of
thousands Of our citizens; therefore,
Be it resoIVsd By The General Assembly Of
the State Of Indiana, That under no circum-
stances can we see the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, or any portion therof in the hands Of
any foreign power, or recognize the right Of
any power, government, or set OF men to
hinder, delay OF obstruct the free navigation
Ol tue same, anu kuhL II our uOdlS OF Vessels
of any kind or character, when peaceably
navigating the waters of said river, are mo-
Tested, disturbed, or hindercd in any way or
even protesting and declaring themselves so
to be, or by any body of men pretending to
act by the authority of State or Nation, would
be by US considered a heinous offence upon
our people and the people of the whole North
west and that we pledge to the people Of the
mighty valley of the Mississippi to use all
our endeavors to preserve their long vested
rights, and in case all means fail to preserve
our right to navigate in peace and quiet said
stream, we pledge our united and undivided
support to use such means as the necessities
of the case may require to protect our COM
merce and our people.
RssoIUsd, That copy of this preamble and
resolution be forwarded TO our Senators and
Representatives in Congress, with instruG-
tious to present them to both Houses of Con-
gress, and also that one copy be forwarded to
the Governor of each one of the States of the
Union.
Upon the adoption of the resolutions, the
ayes and nays were called, but not a per-
son was found to vote against them.
