"OUR CAMP IN WAsHINGToN"- Major
Winthrop, who fell in the fight at Big Bethel,
has contribution in the July Atlantic, Of
which the following closing portions have at
this time sad interest;
The time had come for myself and my reg
iment to leave it by different ways. / should
have been glad to stay and see my comrades
through to their departure; but there was a
Massachusetts man down at fort Monroe, But,
Ter by name-has any one heard of him p
and To this gentlemen it Glanced that was to
report myself. So packed my knapsack, got
my turlpugh, shook hands with my fellows,
said good bye to camp Cameron, ard was of,
two days after our months service was done.
Under providence, Washington owes its safe
ty, LIST, to Gen. Butler, whose genius devised
the cncumvention of Baltimore and its rascal
rout, and whose utter bravery executed the
PLAN he is the grand Yankee of this little pc
riod of the war ID, to the other most wor-
shipful grand Yankees of the Massachusetts
regiment who followed their leader, as lie
knew they woul3, discovered a forgotten colo
ny called Annapolis, and dashed in there, ask
ing no questions. Sd, and while | gladly
yield the first places to this General and his
men, l put the Seventh in as last, but not
least, in saving the capital. Character al.
ways tells. The Seventh, by good, hard
faithful work at drill, mad established its fame
as the most thorough militia regiment in ex-
istence. Its military and moral character
were excellent. The mere name of the regi
ment carried weight. 1t took the Geld as il
the field were a ball room. There were myri
ads eager to march; but they had hot made
ready beforehand. Yes, the seventh had its
important share in the rescu'. Without our
support, whether our leaders tender d it eager
ly or hesitatingly, Gen. Buffers position al
| Annapolis would have been critical, and his
forced march to the capital forlorn hope
heroic, but desperate.
So honor to whom honor is due.

MAJOR THEODORE WINTHROP.

The latest tidings from Fortress Monroe
confirms the report OF the loss of this young
officer in the unfortunate and ill-conductei
fight at Big Bethel, in which he was engaged
as volunteer.
Major Winthrop was native of New York
city, but resided for many years at New
Haven, and graduated at Yale College in the
class o 1848. He was a nephew of President
Woosey of that university.
After leaving college he passed several years
in study and European travel, and was then
engaged for Il time in business in California
An inclination for active and adventurous life
led him 10 travel extensively in that state, and
! Oregon, and Central America.
More recently he had studied law and be-
come a member of the bar in the city of New
York.
At the commencement of the present war
he Joined the seventh regiment, and was the
author of the brilliant article in the Atlantic
Monthly descriptive of its adventures. When
its term of service expired he accepted place
ON Gen. Buffers staff, intending to obtain a
commission in the regular army and adopt
permanently the profession of soldier
II his life had been longer spared to his
country, no doubt he would have distinguished
himself in its service, Tor lie was true-hearted
patriot and man OF undaunted courage as
well as an elegant scholar and polished gen
tleman.
A letter received in this city to-day, by one
of his classmates, dated June IL, says :-"Poor
Wintlrops fate is not certainly known, al,
though one OF the Vermont regiment saws lie
fell MORALLY wounded, into his arms very near
the battery. Slch was the intelligence trom

Late Intelligence from Fort McHenry and
the Worcester lsIne Battalion.

We learn from Capt Devens, attached to
the Worcester Rife Battalion, and who lett
Fort McHenry yesterday morning, some in
teresting facts in regard to the Massachusetts
troops stationed there. He says that the mem.
bers OF the Rifle Battalion are in good health
and spirits, well ted, and ready for any duty
which they are called upon by government 10
perform. He says that there are now about
500 troops in the fort, with several Pennsyl
vania regiments encamped upon the outside.
General Banks, OF the Annapolis Division,
took command day before yesterday. and has
established his headquarters at the fort. 1t is
thought that lie will be a fayOrite commander
with the troops. He was serenaded by the
bands of the Pennsylvania regiment the night
after his arrival
In reference 10 Gen. Cadwallader, our infor.
mant says that he is brave and experienced
soldier, and as commander, would have the
entire confidence OF the troops. lie had,
ho viewer, large number of acquaintances at
Baltimore, and their visits to the tort led some
to suspect that all was not right but the gov
eminent and all who know the man. have I'M
doubted confidence i'll his loyalty to his coun
try.
In regard to the condition of Baltimore our
informant states from personal knowledge that
the secessionists are mostly OF the richer and
aristocratic order, while the middle and lower
classes are with some exceptions in favor Of
the Union. lie has even heard OF numbers of
the "plug uglies," so called, who expressed
themselves most decidedly as opposed to the
secession movement. 1t has been frequently
asserted that in case the rebels should have
decided victory, Baltimore would rise in favor
OF rebellion. The idea is ridiculous, as tile
commander of Fort McHenry has made such
preparations that lie could nearly destroy the
| city in few hours, ii necessity required it.
| lie has hot shot and shells constantly ready
| for any emergency.
In regard to the resistance of the rebels
when the collision comes, Capt. Deyens states
that they were really in almost entire igno.
rance OF the designs of the confederate com
manders. He is confident that they are much
better informed in regard to our plans, than
we are in regard to theirs. He is, OF course
confident of the ultimate triumph of the gov
eminent over rebellion but thinks that the
federal soldiers will have to go through some
hard fighting before it is accomplished. Capt
Devens has been appointed sailing master of
the sloop-of-war Vincennes, about to sail from
this port, for active service.
