The Capture of Hon. Alfred Ely.
The Montgomery Confederation has I

lhe Montgomery ConJederdtson has the
following from a reliable source:
At half past three o'clock the stampede
became fearful, and the gloom among
Wilson & Co. was awful. They immedi-
ately jumped into their carriages and put
for Washington at rapid rate. Hon.
Mr.. Ely, with friend, catching the con-
tagion, and believing the enemy to be
near at hand, jumped into buggy and
pushed forward to Washington at "dou-
BILE quick" Three miles from Centreville
the starting point, the buggy broke down,
and its contents were left prey to our
forces. Ely heard at this moment the
"terrible' tramping of the cavalry, and
jumped behind tree to secrete himself,
while his friend put to the woods and was
seen no more.
presently horseman dashed on, and,
seeing man behind tree, loudly called
out 'Who are you, sir?' 'Mr. Ely an
swered the man Immediately. 'Well,
who in the h-l is Mr.. Elyl' said the
horseman. mt. Ely, Member Of Congress
from the Rochester District, New York,
said the man. The hi you say say
that over again, old fellow, calculated the
horseman. 4 am, sir, the Hon. Mr.. Ely,
the member of the National Congress from
the Rochester District, New York. said
the man. 'Well,' said the horseman, Til
be d-d If haven't caught you at last
l have been looking for you the whole
day, and it's id strange that have jnst
found you out. So, pulling out his pis>
tol, and pointing it right at the National
Congressman's head, be said: Mr.. Ely
put your foot in my stirrup and get up
behind mel am going to take you tc
Richmond Ely did as requested, and
away went the herseman to the quarters
of Gen. Beauregard, and with live Yam
kee Congressman behind him whom b,

WHAT MCCLELLAN Is DoING.-Colo~
mel FoRsEY writes from Washington to
the Philadelphia Press of today $500
"There never has been SO much quiet
and order in Washington, and so much
industry AID energy on the part of the
young Commander in Chief of tie Amer
ican forces. Glad to hear what all men
have to say--ready to receive statesmen,
editors and politicans-he is careful to
avoid committing himself to revelation
of a single one of his plans. You will OBJ
serve that nothing has been printed, either
as to his purposes or his opinions. His
headquarters, at the residence of Commo-
dore Wilks, corner of Sixteenth and H
street, is thronged with visitors, and all
though always busy, be is always ready to
receive information-n matter by whom
presented.

SPIES GIVING INFoRMATIoN.-A Cairo

SPIES GIVING INFoRMAr1oN.-A Cairo
correspondent of the Chicago Times says
A bottle was picked up in the river at
Mound City yesterday, containing letter
addressed to Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, New
Madrid. The letter gave the strength at
Cairo and Birds Point, the number Of
guns, the character of the Notifications, the
location of the magazines, and such infor
nation generally as could have been given
only by person who had been close OBJ
server in our camp. In some particulars
he erred-in none perhaps more than in
the statement that if our troops were at
tackled by ten thousand men, they would
scarcely attempt resistance. The writer
advised the rebel General, or rather at
tempted to advise him, that, if be could
muster the force here he could secure ten
thousand muskets, a half million musket
and cannon cartridges, five hundred mules
and two hundred wagons, besides vast
quantities of army stores and equipments,
"too numerous to mention"

GARIBALDr AND THE WAK.-There is
no truth in the reports that Garibaldi pro-
poses to help US out of our troubles. A
gentleman here, personally acquainted
with Garibaldi and his son, received let
ter from the latter few days ago, in
which the son Gays he desired himself to
come out and take part in the struggle
now going on here for liberty, but that his
father objected, on the ground that ours
was family quarrel, aud could be settled
mere easily without foreign interference
than with it; that it was based on polit-
cal question in which the nation was not
interested, and in the settlement of which
they could not become parties. These are
now the views and sentiments of Garibaldi
as expressed by his son in a private cor.

Singulor Meeting of Brothers after Seven
Years Absence-Both Wounded.
A correspondent of the Richmond Dis.

sas, July 27th," relates the following af-
fecting incident of the meeting after the
separation of seven years, between two
brothers, one member of the New Or
leans Washington Artillery the other be-
longing to the first Minnesota Infantry:
To the Editors Of the Dispatch: I, to-
gether with several other gentlemen from
Montgomery, day or two ago, witnessed
one Of the most singular, at the same
time most affecting incidents, which will
probably occur during this most unholy
and unnatural war, if it should last for
twenty years. We were struggling over
the battle field, examining the ground
upon which we had such bloodr con-
f1ict, and won such glorious victory two
days before. We came Unexpectedly into
the Centrevile road, and seeing house
upon our left with the usual signs beto-
kening hospital one Of our party being
a physician, expressed wish to gel down
and examine the wounded. Upon in
quiry we learned that stable below the
house contained thirteen wounded Yam
KEGS; we forthwith proceeded to the sta
BILE, and upon entering found Washing>
ton Artillery man seated oy the side of
wounded soldier, evidently ministering to
him with great care and tenderness. l
introduced myself to him, and asked if he
aided in working the battery which fought
with the First Virginia brigade. He told
me he did not-he had fought in battery
lower down, and then remarked ":hat it
was very hard to fight as he had fought,
and turn and find has oacn brother fighting
against him." at the same time pointing
to the wounded soldier from whose side he
had just risen. l asked if it was possible
that was his brother? eyes, sir, he is

New Orleans-he to the first Minnesota

he was here wounded, and sought hin

field in Virginia, in miserable stable
