AN ATTACK EXPECTED.
The "New Merrimac', About to
Attack Our Fleet.
Com. Wilkss'S Fleet Gone 10 Meet Her.
Preparations for Prompt Action.



A private letter received from Fortress Mon.
roe, written Thursday evening, says:
An attack or move is hourly expected by
Gen. McClellans army, and considerable ex-
citement prevails there. as they are hourly
expecting the New Merrimac" down the river
with her satellites, and our gunboats have gone
up the river beyond and out of sight of Harri.
sons Landing.
They are also expecting an attack may be
made on their front at the same time.
Like preparation and excitement Ia going on
among our troops now at Newport News, and
evident preparation for an immediate move oi
some kind is being made.
Commodore Portsr's Mortar Fleet,
In part consisting Of the following vessels, ar.
rived and came to anchor 10 the Roads early
this morning:
Matthew vasser, George Managhan, T. A.
Ward, Adolph Hugel, Daniel Smith, William
Bacon, and the Racer.
Twelve Of the feet In all left the Southwest
Pass on the l7th Of this month. OF these seven
have reached Fortress Monroe, and the O. her
five are hourly expected. The gallant tars say
they cannot have any hotter work on the James
than fell to heir lot on the Mississippi river.
They all think that they are to reduce Fort
Darling, and intimate perfect Willingness 70
undertake the job, and put IL through. Fiery
times may be looked for in that direction
shortly.
Surgeons from headquarters inform US that
the sanitary condition Of our troops is growing
better day by day. There Is much less sick.
ness than there was two weeks ago, and the
men are all improving in the camp hospitals,
while the number of those falling sick is rap
idly decreasing.

Tribute OF Respect.
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,

Washington City, July 81, 1852.
At meeting Of the clerks Of this Bureau,
convened this day at the rooms Of the Commits.
sioner, on the occasion Of the sudden death OF
DR.. W. Y. b. Brown, most useful and respect.
ed member Of this body, the following pream-
BILE and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, by the hand of that Providence
whose dispensations are past finding out, but
under whose doint all men silently submit our
worthy and most excellent friend and associate,
W. V. H. Brown, has been suddenly snatched
from our midst by death; one in whom, as
friend, we all confded; to whom, as an exam.
pie Of uprightness and conscientious rectitude,
we were all proud to point, and by whom we
were ever kindly and Gourteously encouraged
to emulate the good and aspire TO purity Of life
and correctness in all the social and official
relations and walks thereof: Therefore be 1t
Resolued, That while we bow to this sudden
and severe stroke Of Heaven, we most cheer
fully pay tribute Of our unfeigned respect to
that goodness that gave to all Of the conduct of
our departed companion, In his ofiiclal, social
or moral Intercourse, such great merit, and
which such virtue and goodness only COM
mand.
Resolved, That, while u number of US have
been associated with the departed for many
years In ofioial relations, we all bear willing
eslimony to his faithful and untiring devotion
to the duties Of his position and the uniform
courtesy and kindness which always charac.
terized his intercourse with his associates.
Res0lued, That In his lamented death society
has lost a pattern; the Christian church, 4
strong support; and his widowed and bereaved
family, a kind and affeotionate husband and a
devoted and exemplary father and guide; and
that we deeply sympathize with them in this
their great af1iction.
Resolued, That q copy Of these resolutions
be presented to the widow Of the deceased,
and that they be published, together with the
proceedings Of this meeting, In the National
Republican and Inteuigencer, and that we will
attend the funeral Of the deceased In 4 body.

Indiana Democratic state Convention,
vsickline, Of Kentucky. Reappsars.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 3O.-Ths Indiana Demo.
cratic State Convention assembled in Capitol
Square at 10 O'Clock this morning. The at.
tendance was very large, there being from
three thousand to Eve thousand persons Pres.
ent.
Thomas A. Hendricks, Of Indianapolis, was
chosen president, Robert Lucas vice president,
and J. J. Bingham, editor Of the Sentinel, sec
retary.
A committee Of one from each Congressional
district was appointed to prepare series OF
resolutions.
The president, on taking the chair, after
thanking the Convention for the honor con.
ferred upon him, remarked that no Democrat
would disturb the peace, but probably some Of
the outsiders would. He recommended the
members Of the Convention to pass such per.
sons by as unworthy Of notice.
No attempt had been made at disturbance
and probably none was thought Of.
Mr.. Wickliffe, Of Kentucky, then addressed
| the Convention. He was for the Union, pro.
vided the rights Of the South and slavery were
not interfered with. Before doing anything
more, he would pause 10 see what We are fight.
ing for. If 1t is to free the negroes. let not
another drop of blood be shed. He would
hang the leading rebels, and balance the rope
with the abolitionists. The sbolitionists con
troll every department of the Government, and
were worse than the rebels.
Representative Richardson Of Illinois, Sen.
ator Carlile Of Virginia, Representative Voor-
bees Of Indiana, and other distinguished gen.
tlemen, were present.

FORTRESS MONROE, July 3l.-The steamer
Georgia, from Washington, with over 200 re-
leased rebel prisoners, arrived here this morn
ing at o'clock. The boat still remains here,
having received orders to remain here until
tomorrow.
The mail steamers between this place and
Harrison's Landing 60 up every trip loaded
with soldiers belonging TO various regiments
returning TO duty. Some OF them have been
very sick. New recruits also are passing up
this way.
The health officers have made thorough
inspection to-day Of all dwellings, stores and
places Of business at Old Point, giving the
occupants notice that they must be 10 readines,
to morrow for another inspection that will JUS

health Of the place.
Commodore Portsr's Mortar Fleet, which he.

DRAFTING.-The New York Eveniny Post
publishes q report OF the interview recently
bad here between the New York committees
and the Secretary Of War They represent
that be is in favor Of drafting men for the army
unless, within very short time, the 100000
lately called for shall volunteer. If this lie so
considering the means which the Secretary has
Of surveying the whole field, and with the great
confidence we have in bis devotion to the
country, and sound judgement, we can have
40 reasonable doubt that the measure Of draft
ing will have become a necessity in the contin
gency named.
The New York committees declared them
selves to have been profoundly impressed by
the energy, straightforwardness, ability, and
patriotism Of the Secretary. We only wish that
the whole country could personally see and
know the man, whom 1t has been attempted te
sacrifice for the miserable purpose Of covering
the failure of Gen. Mcclellan in the Peninsula

COMMERCE. exports from New York
city, for the seven months Of this year, are
within fraction of million equal to what
they were during the corresponding seven
months of 1861, although there has been large
falling of in Southern products, such US cotton,
rice, tobacco, and naval stores. The falling off
in cotton is 1000 bales, worth (at the prices
of last year, about nine millions of dollars.
But all deficiencies in Southern products are
made up by increased exports of brsadstufis
and Of animal products, as pork in various
forms, lard, tallow, &c. Last years exports
from New York were unprecedented, but they
will probably be greater this year. The elias
ticity Of industry in the free States seems to
have no limits.

resolved by the War Committee, organized yes.

CAMP OF SECOND Army CoRPs,


Near Little Washington, July 80.
Nothing can exceed the beauty Of the scenery
In this region. The village Of Washington Is
situated at the head Of the Blue Ridge, and ia
environed with lofty spurs Of the same noun
tains, covered with dense timber. The valley
extends north and south several miles, and the
divide of the valley has been selected as the
camping ground. Excellent water is abundant,
running on both sides, fresh from the mountain
springs.
In the election for delegates TO the Richmond
convention, which thrust the State from pros.
perity into the jaws Of the rebellion, and made
its fourishing plantations scenes OF bloodshed
and desola,ion, this county (Rappahannock)
gave over four hundred majority, In vote Of
less than nine hundred, for Union candidate.
It seems fair to suppose, and intercourse with
prominent men induces the belief, that the
oath Of allegiance will be generally taken by
an equal number without reluctance, provided
they feel assured Of our power and intention
almost every instance, our troops have been
kindly treated BY the inhabitants and the sick
who found their way to farm houses have been
we'll provided for and nursed.
Last Wednesday, about fifty guerillas inter.
csptsd and captured regimsntss ts train and M
tween Front Royal and Winchester. The train
was escorted by twenty cavalrymen, who made
their escape. The next day force was senl
to the spot, when the wagons and nearly all Of
the contents were recovered, but the horses
had been secured by the enemy.
Since Middletown was evacuated by our
forces, II has been kind of rendezvous for
small rowing bands of guerillas, but no large
force has been seen In that neighborhood. The
mountain gorges and ravines between Thorn.
toms Gap, west Of here, to Chester Gap, neaI
Front Royal, are known to harbor large mum
bers oil this class. They however are never
seen, except in scattering parties of twos
hves, etc.
The orders of General Pope relative to oaths
Of allegiance and with holding guard over pri

there be any, who cannot restrain the depre
datory spirits In their commands are unworthy
of the positions they occupy. Justice to loys

ST. LoUIs.-There was great meeting at St.
Louis, Of the loyal men, on Monday evening
The sentiment was universal in favor Of liber.
atng the slaves Of all rebels, and some of the
speakers urged that they should bs armed as
soldiers. Every expression of that kind was
appauded to the echo. Slavery was treated as
the sole cause Of the war and all expectation
Of ending the war, except by crushing slavery,
was repudiated This Is no new opinion fol the
loyal men of Missouri; but they express 1t now
with that perfect confidence 10 its correctness,
which results from the bitter experience of the
long trial and utter failure of the contrary
policy.

The New Msrrimac.

A Mr.. Dolan, recently returned from Rich
mond, gives the following account Of the new
Merrimao building at that place:
HER ARMAMENT.
Although her armament was Of course NOT
not yet on board, its character was no secret
The entire public having access TO the vessel,
II was easy to be seen what number OF guns
she was to carry, a. we'll as their approximate
character. From other information, however,
I can state that she will carry one bow, one
stern, and three side guns. They are to be Of
the same description as those which are mount
ed at Fort Darling, their ability to pierce our
iron armored vessels having In the attack on
that fortress been exempliaed-at least to the
satisfaction of Secesh. The balls TO be used
are steel.pointed, and were being made on the
day Of our departure, as well as previously.
