City Council had called a meeting after
the appearance of our forces, and ap-
pointed a committee, consisting of the
Mayor, Mr.. Slaughter, three members
from each board, and three citizens, to
confer with our General relative to the
occupation of Fredericksburg and the
protection Of property. The Council
at the same time adopted a resolution
declaring that the city, since the adop-

been unanimously in favor of secession,

From citizens of Fredericksburg,
who have crossed over to Falmouth by
means of small skiffs, much valuable
information has been derived. Most
of these affirm that so soon as we take
possession Of the city, and there is no
fear of the return of the rebels, ma
jority of the remaining citizens will be
found loyal.

The City of Appalachicola Captured by
Federal Gunb0ats.
NEwYORK. April 2I.

NEW 7 DIRK, April 81.
The city of Appalachicola has been
successfully occupied by our troops,
thus giving us another important point
in Florida. The capture was effected
by the gunboats Mecedida and Saga
more, with little opposition, on the Sd
inst. A few shells dispersed the rebels,
and the nonresident portion Of the
population were found in an almost
starving condition. The blockade had
effectually cut off the supplies on the
seaboard, and their resources from the
inland were not sufficient to maintain
the ordinary comforts of life. Under
these circumstances, it is not to be
wondered at that the people should
proclaim loyalty to the Union.

Gov. Harvey, of Wisconsin, was ac-
cidently drowned at Savannah, at IL
o'clock last night, while passing from
one boat to another. Every effort was
made to rescue him. A physician of
his party jumped overheard and swan
very near him, but the strong current
drew him under another boat before he
could be reached. Several of his party
remained to search for the body. The
physician who attempted the rescue
narrowly escaped the fate of his Gov.

CoRINrH, April o.
''To General Samuel Cooper. Richmond:
"All present probabilities are that
whenever the enemy moves on this po-
sition, he will do so by an overwhel-
ming force of not less than IS 900 men.
We can now muster only about 35, 900
electives. Van Dorm may possibly

more. Can We be reinforced from
Pemberton's army? If defeated here,
we lose the Mississippi Valley, and
probably our cause. Whereas, we
could even afford to lose, for while,
Charleston and Savannah for the pur-
pose of defeating Buell's army, which
would not only insure us the valley of
the Mississippi, but our independence"

The arrest of ex-Secrctary Cameron
by Pierce Butler, an undoubted rebel
emissary, who never has a thought in
sympathy with the loyal men of the
country, has not attracted the atten-
ton it deserves. Are our rulers, who
in time of great public cxigency, did
that which they thought vital for the
safety of the country-committing
some errors, doubtless, Ito be dragged
before judicial tribunals and prosecuted
by individuals for acts done in behalf
of the whole people /? Is the Presi-
dent, are the present Secretaries at the
close of their terms to be harrassed
with prosecutions of this sort? This
is precisely what Mr.. Buffers prosecu-
ton means, and it is on that account
the democratic press are applanding it
as partizan smartness.-Det. Tribune.

A SUPPLY OF CoTToN.-The fall OF
Fort Pulaski must bring down the price
of cotton. 1t opens the way for our
gunboats to Savannah, and whatever
its defences, it is quite impossible that
it could long resist an attacking force
by land and river. Perhaps there is
but one more important city in the
South, and that is New Orleans. II
commands an extensive system of rail-
roads-no less than thirteen in number
which ramify in all directions to the
North, South and West. As center
Of the cotton commerce of the Gulf
States it is no less important. A half
million of bales are annually shipped
from that port. In six weeks more,
shilling calico will be as abundant as
clover and fresh butter.

10 The Editor of The Nep York Tribune:-
SRI cannot suffer undue merit to be rs.
crlhed to my official action. The glory of our
recent victories belongs to the gallant officers
and soldiers that fought tue battles. No share
of it belongs to me.
Much has recently been said of military
combinations and organizing victory l hear
such phrases with apprehension. They com.
menced in intidel France with the Italian cam
paign, and resulted in Waterloo. Who can
organize victory? Who can combine the ele-
ments of success on the battle. field We owe
our recent victories to the spirit OF the Lord,
that moved our soldiers to rush into battle,
and filled the hearts of our enemies with ter
ror and dismay. The inspiration that con
| quered In battle was in the hearts of the SOL
diers and from on high; and wherever there
! is the same inspiration there will be the same
| results. Patriotic spirit, with resolute courage
in ofhcers and men, is military combination
that never failed.
We may well Njoice at the recent victories,
| tor they teach us that battles are to be won
| now and by us in the same and only manner
that they were ever won by any people, or in
| any age, since the days OF Joshua, by boldly
pursuing and striking the foe. What under
| the blessing of Providence, | conceive TO be
the true organization of victory and military
combination to end this war, was declared in
few words by Gen. Grants message to Gen.
Buckner-"I propose to moue immediately on
your 'corkS -
Yours truly, EDWIN NJ. STANTON.

man from New Haven, gave the closing lee
ture of the Mechanics course last evening. 1t
was an interesting and instructive description
of the various kinds OF missiles and engines
of war, and was fully illustrated by models
and charts. Discussing the new projectiles and
guns brought TO our notice by the war, the lee
turer found opportunity occasionally TO flower
out in patriotic illusions, and the large an
dence always pardoued him Tor it and LIBERAL
ly applHuded him. The lecture closed with
the burning OF ii rebel rag by DR.. Fisher,
who waved the stars and stripes amid great
enthusiasm, and repeated brakes poem

BY noble hands TO valor given,
Thy stars have lit the welkiu dome,
And all thy hues were born in Heaven.

A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN CHIvALRY.-
A seracious story is told of Gen. Tighman,
who was extremely pompous and egotistic

the rule was confined to the commissioned
officers, and that his men could be supplied
only with rations. You have no objection
then, to giving twenty. eight of my men sun

was in the negative, and supper was accord
ingly prepared. AS soon as it was finished
the rebel general remarked to the steward of
the boat, 81 have nothing but Tennessee
money, and | know you do not want that"
and coolly walked away.
An aid of Tilghman having been guilty of
improper conduct after the surrender, General
Grant ordered him to be placed in separate
confinement whereupon Tilghman interfered

this story of an impudent demand which he
made upon Gen. Grant:
"Filghman had the assurance to ask Gen.

THE ORDNANCE BUREAU.

We copied from a correspondent OF the New
York Times some account of the ordnance
bureau, in which Col. Ripley was described as
inefficient and incompetent, and altogether un-
fit to have charge OF that bureau. We have
noticed similar structures in Washington letters
printed in some other journals. These writers,
however, do not express the opinion OF all the
world We notice that Col Ripley is very
earnestly defended by others. The writers
who attack him are treated as hired spokes-
men of parties who have failed to induce him
to patronze guns they have patented, or lend
himself in some other way to their schemes
for having the public money squandered for
their benefit.
Generally when two or three Washington
letter writers attack severely some public man,
connected with the business of the govern
ment in such way as to engage the attention
of lobby agents aud other treasury thieves, We
may be sure that some piratical conspiracy
has been baffled through his agency. Wash
ington is haunted by many vile creatures in
human form, and some OF the worst Of them

OF New YORK city newspapers. The Heralds

prUfigaey and SAINT OF principle; and yet he is
not sinner above all the others. Probably

agents, and most OF them know how 10 sell
their influences" as correspondents engag-
ing to write up or write down whatever their
Giants may propose. It is creditable rather
than otherwise tor any public man 10 be ierO-
ci5usly attacked by these foul birds of prey.
We hear Col. Ripley spoken Of in very high
terms by those who know him. Never before
has ii been said that he lacked energy by any
person who expected that others would believe
it. 1t is said that at Springfield, where for
some time he had charge OF the armory, he
has reputation very different from that put
forth by the correspondent Of the Times and
it is very likely that the clamor against him,
made by some Of the Washington letter writ
ers, has been oocasioned by his refusal to
accept somebody's patented gun, in which
the lobby agents are interested Every pa
tented Improvement" in firearms, cannon,
or projectiles, usually hurries to the ordnance
bureau and clamors Justify Tor acceptance.
But few of them deserve much attention, yet
any of them would serve to make the fortune
OF several men if the government could be in
duced to draw on the treasury for that pur'
pose. They seldom get much attention at the
war department, and probably Col. Ripley ha'
sometimes been much more emphatic. than
bland in reply 10 such solicitations. We d
not know how it is. We state what seems I
us probable.
