Aspecial messenger Gays the Richmond Ea.
qnircr Of the l2.h) reached the city last evening
with dispatches to the President, from Genera.
Lee, at Frederick city. These dispatches. we
understand, relate TO matters which would add
but little toward the qualification of the public
curiosity. The messenger brings the inteli-
geuce thst General Lee is exceedingly well
pleased with his reception by the people OF
Maryland thus far, and is sanguine Of the most
successful result Of the advance into the territory
Of our sister State. The army movements are
still kept " under the rose"
There were numerous rumors afoat in the city,
such as the capture Of Baltimore, etc, but We
care not to recount them.
LATER.-The Richmond Dispatch Of the 18Th
says:
No definite intelligence from our army was re.
csived yesterday through the usual channels of
information. Baltimore papers of the 9Lh say
that our cavalry was ioraging ia Pennsylvania.
We learn that our c0mmissary finds no difficulty
IN procuring bacon at ten cents Der mound ia
Maryland for Confederate money, anditis stated
that General Lee has minated that no more
stores need be sent hiR.
From the same paper, cfthel2th, we copy the
following:
10 was stated by a soldier who came down on
the train last night that o large amount Of -four
sad other produce was captured by our troops en-
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, on Saturday
last. The same authority also represents that
twelve hundred Yankee troops were cap
tured az P5olesville, in Montgomery county,
Nd, the same day.
A gentleman from the lower part Of the Vsl
who arrived ia this city yesterday afsrnoon.
states that the Yankees sill occupied Harper's
Ferry. up TO Monday last. Ga that day a por-
ton of their cavalry secuted as tar up as the
neighborhood Of Bsryville, in Clarke county.
de thinks the force at HaTper's Ferry amounts
to some six or seven thousand, composed Of The
torces formerly a. Winchester, Martinsburg and
Charlestown la view Of the fact that our forces
reached Frederick On Sunday, this announce
ment seems q little singular; but &c may be that
force, after messing at I~Iarper's Ferry from
other points in the Valley, found their retreat cut
and were il doubt what course TO pursue, or
route to take 20 effect an escape.

GEORGE w. RANDOLPH,

An Interesting Sseae an the Capitol
Grounds, Washing tOu,

~ 2INA II EAD E-EAeG
Grounds, WashiD gtOu.
Correspondence Of the New York Triburel
WAsHINGToN, September IA very amusing
scene occurred a few days since ia the capital
grounds at Washington. Some two or three
weeks ago, while on the steamer Adelaide, the
Fortress Monroe boat, from Baltimore, I became
acquainted with a Mr.. Greayes, an English gen
tlemaG, from Manchester, who was on his way
TO the Fortress for the purpose Of making a visit
to the Army Of the Potomac. When the army
evacuated HarTsOn'S Landing, he started fol-
Washington, and it Was within half an hour
after he arrived there that an amusing scene
occurred, Of which the following is his own YER
sion:
He entered the capital grounds ard asked an
officer whom he met what that magnificent struc-
ture wasused for (meaaing the eapitoi) That
answered the officer, ais the bakery for the
United States army This singular answer
somewhat took Mr.. Greaves aback, who, Temon-
stTating at what he considered an Unwarrant2blc
joke under the circumstances, received for reply,
. That IS the only answer you wiilget, sir, and
II you don't ike it, you must take yOur own
remedy When the gentleman asked his name,
John Smith answered the officer. Highly
incensed at this second indignity, Mr.. GTeaves
demanded his card, producing MS own. The
officer now appeared to wish to get nd Of the
matter, turning on his heel in the direction of
the capitol, exclsiming Ct Psha :" The English
man followed him up the steps of the capitol.
On reaching the top, the officer turned round
and said, Well, sir, what are you following
me for! What do you want ~ 81 want your
name answered Mr.. Greaves, and I will fol-
low you until I learn what it is" The officer
ordered him TO leave the place, but to no pur-
pose. Both parties appeared to be getting ex-
cited, when, fortunately, at this instant a door
opened, and Captain Darling made his
appearance. Captain Darling" commanded
the officer, L" take this man away" Captain
Darling at once advanced and took charge
of MI. Gresves. Before I leave said Mr..
Gresves, demand that you shall tell me the
name of that officer "That," answered Capt.
sis General Halleck, c~ommander-in-
chief Of the American army" The Englishman
wilted.
