The enemy had constructed Il fertilization
on ST. Johns bluffs fifty or sixty feet high. un-
der which our gunboiis have to pass, as the
channel OF the river is closed to u.s.

BAD FAMILY.-Last week woman
named Mrs. Dunn, complained at the Police
Office that her son, James Dunn, had robbed
herself and husband of about 500 and had
fled. The police could get no track of the
boy; but late in the week he returned from
Canada, and stated to the City Marshal that
he had been to Sherbrooke, and that man in
that place whom he had engaged to carry him
some ten miles, had taken all his money from
him. Marshal Huse Immediately put the case
into the hands of his deputy, Mr.. Hawkes., who
with the boy, proceeded to Sherbrooke, had
the man arrested and tried. Notwithstanding
at the trial the boy swore as stated above, the
man was acquitted. The boy then told Mr.
Hawkes. that all the money he took was a little
over seven dollars, and that he had told the
above story at the instigation of his mot her.
and Of his father, who pretended TO be re-
turned, wounded soldier.
On further investigation the City Marshal
discovered that the father was deserter from
New Hampshire regiment, having enlisted
In Manchester, received the bounty and de-
serted. The wound on his eye he had received
IN drunken scrape. He and his wife had got
up the story about being robbed In order to
excite sympathy. As the boy is evidently
bad character, and had been in the State Re-
form School of Massachusetts, it was deemed
proper to proceed against him for the larceny.
His father will be sent to Manchester where
he enlisted, and his mother will be sent back
to Massachusetts.

- According to the Belfast Age, neither
Popham nor Mount Desert, were the places
where the first religious services were perform
ed by Europeans in New England. Says the
Age: "The first religious worship known to
have been held by Europeans in the 'Card Of
the Pilgrims" was by l. 'Escarbot in 1904, on
Neutral Island near Robbnston, he being the
chaplain Of the DE Mont's expedition. LES
carbot was a Hugenot-and therefore Episco-
palian and Catholic claims to the initiative
step are groundless.'

The Washington Star says AT Richmond
on Sunday of last week the only troops in and
around the city were those few in number ac-
tually in the Notifications and regiment do
ing provost guard duty in around the town.
So soon as train arrives there every one
coming into Richmond is made to go with
soldier to the Provost Marshal's office, and if
not well vouched for is vigorously held in
custody, and guards are so posted as to pre-
vent any egress from the city at any point
without pass.
The Star says there are no troops at Cor
louisville, nor indeed anywhere from Rich
mond in this direction until arriving little
this side OF Culpepper Court House. where
the 18th Virginia cavalry only were last week
eneamped.
On Tuesday night a schooner, believed to
be the Francis Elmore, was discovered to be
on fire in the Potomac, near Kettle Bottom
Bowen, the upper and lower cedar point. She
burned to the waters edge. She was loaded
with hay. 1t is feared the crew have all been
burned up, as a small boat was picked up after

WASHINGTON, Oct. 0.
Among the arrivals here to-day is Capt. G..
+. Young, direct from Richmond, having left
that city on Tuesday, by flag OF truce down
the James river. He, with Maj. w. G. Barrey
OF New York, were captured on the 21st of
September, while on horseback tour in the
vicinity of Bull Run, by the Both Virginia
cavalry, under Col Chainbloss, graduate of
West Point. The prisoners spent four days
pleasantly on their way TO Richmond and
were treated kindly and Hospitality by their
captors, and by all whom they met ON the
route. The cavalry regiment OF Col Chamb-
loss was handsomely mounted and uniformed
and fully equipped. There appeared to be an
abundance of salt, flour. fresh beef and shoes
among the soldiers, Good discipline prevail
ed among the rebel troops. They treated each
other with great kindness and courtesy. No
whiskey, no drinking or card playing was al
lowed among them. Much comment is made
by the rebel troops as to the careless manner
in which our dead were buried on the plains of
Manassas. All the rebel soldiers denounced
Gen. Pope, but speak in most complimentary
terms of Gen. Mcclellan. The country dis
tricts are exhausted of food for man and beast,
and IN consequence apprehensions exist OF
great distress among the people during the
coming winter. Everybody has plenty of pa
per money of all descriptions. The treatment
OF the federal prisoners has been changed for
the better. and those confined with Captain
Young had no cause to complain. He, with
30 others, were put in large, cool and pleas
ant room, and were attended by the guards
and servants with marked kindness. Rations
were served regularly, and siltler was con-
stantly present. The morning newspapers
were served at daylight.
Col. Daniel Ullman and Lieut. Col Brown.
Of New York regiments, and about 700 others,
arrived at Annapolis to-day, having left Rich
mond on Tuesday morning. The rebel troops
are rapidly receiving their new uniforms, CON
sisting Of dark grey wooden jackets and light
blue pants, and they say there is no lack of
arms, and that they have more cannon than
can be used. The general impression among
them is that the war will not end until the ex-
piration OF President Lincoln's term of office.
Everybody, however, IS sick of hostilities,
and the soldiers desire to return home: vet
one constantly hears the remark, "You may
exterlninate us, but you cannot subjugate u.s.
The new Merrimac is not finished yet Eight
dollars bushel was asked for sweet potatoes
Rye, coffee and sugar brought one dollar
pound each. There was little or no molasses
for sale. Tin drinking cups sold for twenty
five cents each, and all other necessaries in
proportion. Maj. Barrey is still detained at
Libby Prison. Capt. Young was released un-
conditionally.

General Order No. l60.-Heaequarter of
the Army OF the Potomac, Camp near Shasps-
burg, October Sd, IS62-The Commanding
General extends his congratulations to the ar
my under his command for the victories
achieved by their bravery at the passes of the
South Mountain, and upon the Antietam
Creek. The brilliant conduct of Renos and
Ilooker's corps under Burnside at Turner'S
Gap, and Of Franklin's corps at Champions
Pass. in which in the face of an enemy strong
in position aud resisting with obstinacy, they
carried the mountain and prepared the way
for the advance of the army, won for them the
admiration OF their brethren in arms. In the
memorable battle of the Antietam we defeated
numerous and powerful army of the enemy
IN an action desperately fought, and reInarka-
BILE for its duration and for the destruction of
life which attended IL. The obstinate bravery
of the troops of Hooker, Mansfield and sum
ner, the dashing gallantry of those of Frank
lin on the right, the steady valor of those of
burnside on the left, and the vigorous support
OF Porter and Pleasanton, present brilliant
spectacle 10 our countrymen, which will swell
their hearts with pride and exullation. Four
teen guns, thirty-nine colors, fifteen thousand
five hundred stand of arms, and nearly six
thousand prisoners taken from the enemy, are
evidence of the completeness of our triumph
A grateful country will thank this noble army
for achievements which have rescued the loval
States of the East from the ravage of the in
vaders, and have driven him from their bord-
crs. While rejoicing at the victories which.
under Gods blessing, have crowned our exer-
tons, let us cherish the memories of our brave
comrades who have laid down their lives upon
the battlefield, martyrs in their eountry's
cause. Their names will ever be enshrined i'm
the hearts of the people

they were unable to destroy that bridge as
