WAsHINGroN, May l7.-Since yesterday
eight or ten fugitive slaves have. been re-
turned to their claimants. 1t is estimated
that there were in Washington recently

Primes Georges county, Maryland, adjoin.
ing this district. Atleast forty sIave6oId-.
ers from that county were at tue court
house to-day filing their petitions for the re-
ciamation OF the runaways. In some cases
rs many ns twenty are clOimed by a single
person. In several Instances after tn

Marshal and his deputies, they were unable
to find .he fugitiVes. who having by come
means been informed of the judicial pro
cess, removed beyond the reach of arrest.

Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the NARY
SIR: have the honor TO inform the De-
Partmeut, that yesterday morning little
after seven o'clock, the rebel squadron con-
sisung OF eight war clad steamers, four of
them came around the point at the bend,
above TT. Pillow, and steamed CALAMITY up
the riyerfnlIy prepared for a regular en-
gagement. The vessels of this squadron
were lying at the time tied up to the bank
OF tue river, three on tho eastern and four
on the western side, and as they were
transferred to me by Flag officer Foote,
ready Tor action, most of the vessels were
prompt in Obeying the signal to follow the
motions of the Commander-in-chief.
The leading vessels Of the rebel squadron
made directly for mortar boat No l6, which
was Tor moment unprotected. Acting
Master Gregory and his crew behaved with
great spirit during the action. lie fired his
mortar eleven times at the enemy, reduc-
ing the charge and diminishing the eleva
ton. Commander Stemble, on the gunboat

the line on that of the river followed i'm.
medlately by Commander Kelly on the gun
boat Mound City, fastened to the support
OF the mortar boats and were repeatedly
struck by the enemy's rams, and at the
same time that they disabled the enemy and
drove him away. The two leading vessels
in the enemy's line were successfully en-.
countered by this ship. The boilers and
steam chest of one of them exploded by
our shot and both of them were disabled.
T1ey, as well as tue first naval vessel en-.
countered by the Cincinnati, drifted down
the river.
Commander Walker informs me that he
tired fifty pound shot through the boilers
OF the euemy's gunboats on the Western
line and rendered her for the time being
helpless.
The action lasted during the better part
OF and hour and took place ut the closest

EJ@ ARREST OF A CITIZEN FOR INFERNO
SEDrTIous LAxGUAGE.-on Saturday after
noon complaint was m lde TO Major DArr,
Provost Marshal, charging Robert Marshall,
who lives about four miles east of tie city,
with uttering seditious language and de.
uouucing the government. "A squad of
soldiers was sent out to Marshalrs resi-
dence and he was brought into the city on
Saturday evening and compelled to give
bail for his good behavio. in the sum of

portion of devil in his composition. We
understand that he amused himself during
aportion of the day on Saturday by shoot
ing several turkeys and chickens belonging
to Hon. Sherrurd Clemens, who lives upon
the adjoining place. He is also suspected
ofhaving written certain false and offensive
words upon the fence leading to Mr. Glenn

he was about to be arrested upon bench
warrant, when he fell into the hands of
the military authorities.
P. S.-we learn that Marshall, after Civ

PSG MORE AB9lir THE San ACCIDENT ON
THE BALTIMORE * OHIo RAlLRoAp.-Tbe
Baltimore papers furnish some additional
particulars in reference to the collision on
the Baltimore Il Ohio Railroad, uear New
Creek. Tie passenger train wa. running
on its regular time. l. appears that the
freight engine aud several freight cars ran
into the passenger engine, throwing both
engines and their trains OF cars off the
track, but fortunately not overturnine the
passenger cars. A soldier, who was seated
on the outside platform of one of the front
passenger cars, was killed. A brakeman
outhe freight train, named Jacob Bloom.
was killed. His body was taken to Fred
erick city, where he leaves wife and sew
eral children.
The engineer of the freight engine, MIR.
Tice, was seriously if not MORALLY wound
ed by being crushed between the two en-
gines. The engineer of the passenger en-
CINE, John MCGOWAN, was horribly crush
ed. He is MORALLY injured. Both of the
wounded men were conveyed to houses on
the roadside, near the scene of the acci-
dent, where every attention is being paid
them. The fremen of both engines es-
capped with little or no injury.
The freight engine was almost entirely
demolished and several of the freight cars
were badly broken. The passenger engine
was only slightly damaged, and none of
the passenger cars were injured, except
the baggage and express car, which sus-
tanned an inconsiderable damage.
The soldier who was killed belonged to
the Eighth New York Volunteers, and was
on his way from Wheeling to Washington.
His name is j. Amey. His body was left
Mt New Creek. 1t is further stated that
the freight train was ten minutes on the
passenger train time. Mr.. John Bateman
was conductor of the freight train, and
Mr.. F. A. PeddicOrd was conductor of the
passenger train neither of them was in
jured.
