LATE FROM WINcHEsTER.-We learn
from reliable source that when the Sc
cesh returned to Winchester they burned
the Union Hotel, which was used as
hospital for our soldiers, the Valley
Bank, and the Depot.
1t is believed that many Of the sick in
the hospital must have been burned. as it
was impossible to rescue them all before
the flames rendered it impracticabIe toldo
SO. The atrocities which have been re-
ported as having been committed by the
rebels at that place are substantially true.

ceeded to Eastern TALBOT county, Md,

Marshal McPhail. with several officers,
arrived at Easton on Saturday evening,
and took lodgings at the Eastern Hotel.
Early or Sunday morning the purpose
of their visit was rumored, and fellow
named M'Nabb was actively engaged in
exciting the people. Some called on the
Marshal and stated that the attempt would
be resisted by at least 100 armed men.
On Monday the excitement was intense
and threats of violence were repeated
The officers were patient and quiet, but
determined to make the arrest or die in
the attempt. The Marshal telegraphed
the state of affairs to Gen. Dix, who sent
las of the Delaware regiment. They
reached the navy yard landing yesterday
at noon, the Marshal met them and gave
an order for them to be in town in an
hour.
In the meantime the Marshal and his
officers went to the Court House where
the Judge was presiding. and told him
that he must consider himself nnder ar
rest and prisoner. The Judge demand.
ed his authority for such proceeding,
and was answered, by the authority of the
United States. The Judge replied that
he did not regard that authority, under
the circumstances, Here call was made
for the Sheriff but the crier was soon
stopped, and one of the officers ascended,
the steps to arrest the Judge, The
Judge resisted and kicked the officer,
who drew revolver and struck the Judge
on the head and with it inficting slight
wound.

Condition of the Rebel Army at Rich

mond.
NORFOLK, May 24.-Deserters from
Petersburg say that in consequence Of
the scarcity of provisions, the army in
Richmond is much demoralized. Mum
bers are deserting daily. They have
been lately on half rations. They say
fully half of the army would desert if
they had the opportunity, but the rebels
intend making a desperate resistance.
AS soon as disposition is shown by
the Norfolk people to return to allegi-
ance, the port will be opened and the
former status restored. No such dis
position is yet manifested. Should
Richmond be captured, hundreds of
Norfolkites would openly declare for
the Union.

Prince Albert. .salf'

Prince Albert, ;he husband of Queen
Victoria, whose death has been an
nounced, was born at Rosenau, on the
goth of August, 1919. He was the
second son of Ernest, Duke of SAKE
Coburg Gotha, under whose immedi-
ate personal superintendent he res
ceived an admirable education, which
he completed by attending the Univer-
sitY of Bonn, during three academical
sessions. In July, 1888, he visited
England, in company with Leobold
King of Belgium, and spent some time
at the court of the youthful queen, and
in Nov. 1889, it was formally announ-
ced to the privy council, by the Queen
that she intended to form a matrimoni-
al alliance with Prince Albert. The
secret, had long been public property.
but was kept in suspense by the deco
rous contradiction of the ministerial
journals. The marriage was solemn
lied Feb. 10, 1910. For tho purpose
of rendering him perfectly independent,
the muniicent personal allowance of
100000 ayear was made to him by par
lament. Besides which, he was
Fieldmarshal Knight of the Garter, and
other orders, Colonel of the Fusilier
Guards, and held a number of other
lucrative or honorary appointments.
He was man of refined taste and an
accomplished musician and draughts-
man. Forbidden by his position to in,
terfere in politics, he occupied himself
with experimenting the education of
his children. The progress of art and
sciences, and general philanthropic ob.
jects, such as the "dwellings of the
working classes" sanitary arrange
ments, &C., also engaged HE attention.
he was patron and president Of numsr-
Gus charitable institutions, in which he
took personal interest As President
of the Secretary Of Arts, he was the
chief promoter of the great exhibition
of 1851. Similar exhibitions, confined,
to native productions, had long been
held in Paris, Brussels, and even in
Manchester, and other towns of Eng
land. But when the idea of holding
one in London was suggested TO Prince
Albert. he readily adopted it, and zeal
