WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 8, 1862
As you will recollect the night of the 22d of

hungry, and as our cook had not come up
when night came, two of us got up tent, and
l turned in at dark. Wet tired and hungry,
fortunately didn't take off anything, but threw
myself down just as Twas, and in moment was

three hours, when was awakened by an aw-

rebels are on us. couldn't get il through my
brain as | wasn't more than half awake but
thought it was some of our own men on
spree, for couldn't imagine that the rebels
could get at us, when we were fifteen miles in
the rear of our army; but anyhow | got my
knapsack and put my blankets in it and my
gons to see what was up. Just then the reb-
els rode through the woods again, following
at the top of their voices, and shooting right
and left and through all of the tents as they
saw them as the lightning flashed. went to
the wagons, and. finding no one there, started
back and had gone about half way to my tent
when three or four shots were fired at me, and
some half dozen surrounded me, and ordering
the "d-d Yankee son of =" to surrender

no use trying to do anything and was taken

OLD WAR SHIPs.-There is absolutely moth
ing new under the sun At recent meeting
ofthe Archaeological society of London, Captain
Windus Of the Navy read an account of a re-
markable carack or war galley equipped by the
knights of st. John Of Jerusalem, and described
by Bosio the historian Of the Order which had
been plated with sheet-lead as a defence against
bullets. This vessel was built at Nice in 1880,
and made Of the great squadron sent by the
Emperor Charles V. against Tunis,to assist the
bethroned Muley Hassan against Barbarossa,

was taken by storm. The carack, ,called the Santa

The Situation Before Richmond.

The particulars of another great battle,
which occurred near Richmond on Thurs
day and Friday of last week, will be found
10 another column. The details thus far re-
ceived are quite meagre; but judging from
the somewhat confused account given, II
must have been one of the most desperate
and bloody conflicts of tbe war; ItaFpears
that the line occupied by the Federal army
operating against Richmond extended from
Fair Oaks 10 the Hanover Court House, q
distance Of abont twenty miles, the base Of
operations having been liked at White
House, come thirty miles from Richmond.
A considerable body OF troops was required
TO keep open this line, and Mcclellan de-
termined TO change bis base of operations
to Key Bend, a point on James river about
twelve miles by land from Richmond, and
80 change bis front as to occupy line from
Fair Oaks southwark to james river. While
this movement was 10 progress the enemy
made desperate attack upon the right
wing with the purpose Of turning it; but at
ter hard fought bhltle, with heavy Losses
on both sides, the enemy were repulsed,
and the movement planned by the Federal
commander was successfully accomplished.
by this change of line it is claimed the Fed
eral commander will be enabled to bring
his divisions nearer together; clear the
north bank of James river of batteries and
obstructiOns, so that the gunboats can ope.
rate against the rebel capital and be In a
better position to cut off movement OF the
enemy to the southwark.
II is stated that Jackson's entire force,
lately operating in the Shenandoah Valley
had reached Richmond, and all their move
ments indicate determination to make u
desperate stand at that point. The large
armies With which Beauregard and Price
we're lately operating in the West, have
been cut up and dispersed, and the rebel
leaders are evidently satisfied that nothing
but brilliant victory at Richmond, and
the complete rout of McClellan's army, will
save them. The rebel leaders are desperate,
and having concentrated all their available
forces at Richmond, will fight with deter
nination aud valor, but we do not believe
they can triumph over the steady courage
of McClellan's welldrilled troops.

The BATTLE OF FAIR OAKs.-At length
we have what purports to be the official re
ports of both the Federal and rebel losses
at at the battle of Fair Oaks, which occur.
red on the last day of May and first of June.
The Federal loss was 800 killed; 1927
wounded; aud l,2l7 missing, making to-
ia! of 5,734. The official lists of the rebel
losses for eighty five regiments and batt0l-
ions engaged, give total of 5,897. The
losses we're about equal, according to the
official lists, which are more likely to be
correct than the estimates of correspon-
dents.

OVER NIAGARA FALLs.-0n the 25th of
May three men we're swept over the Niaga'
ra Falls in row boat. The occurrence
look place about six O'Clock in the morning
and was irst reported by the porter at the
Cataract House, who saw the boat contain
ing the men in the middle of the river, and
saw the final plunge from the brink of the
awful chasm. The catastrophe was also
witnessed from near the Clifton House, on
the Canada side. The men were seen put
ting out from the Canada shore, near Chip.
pewa, with the evident intention OF landing
near the south end of Goat Island. After
getting out a short distance, the current
was found too strong, recent high wind
up the lake having forced more than the
usual quantity Of water through the river,
aud although they made every exertiOn to
atem the tide, their efforts were unavailing.
They were seen after battling for short
time desperately against the current, to
draw their oars from the water, aud sit mo.
tiOuless in the boat, resigned to their fate.
10 this condition they we're swept over the
falls.

The Union Democratic State Central Com

edges the binding form OF the principles
Of our party platform, as established by the Un-
ion Democratic State Convention, 4th of July
1861, deem it eminently proper, uneer the ex-
isting state of the country, and OF parties, to
put the Union Democratic party OF the State
on the following resolutions:
ResOLUed, That the Union Democratic party
of the State of California adheres immovably
to its distinct organization, and recognizes no
necessity in the existing condition Of the coun-
try and the State calling upon us as Democrats
or as patriots to abandon or qualify that organ
ization.
ResoJDed, That we, the members OF the Un-
ion Democratic State Central Committee, each
pledge ourselves to stand by the platform OF the
party this day adopted, and to support the
"
of Superintendent of Public Instruction and
to use all honorable means to secure his cleo
ton.
ResOlUed, That we most earnestly recon-
mend to the Union Democratic County Com
mittees, in the various counties of the State
prompt and decisive action in keeping up and
maintaining their county organizations; and
that we call upon the Democracy to meet in
convention in the various counties and dis.
tricts throughout the State, and nominate and
elect democratic ticket at the coming cleo
ton.
The other resolutions were similar to the
Rhode Island resolutions, which were pub
Iished in the Democrat some weeks ago, and
which have been approved very generally
by the Union Democratic papers of this
State.
