II will interest our readers to peru5e the fol
lowing extracts of letter from a lady in Bait
more, dated March 3Oth TO a gentleman whC
fought in the battle Of Kernstown After con
graduating her friend upon his safety the writer
proceeds:
"Our polluted streets and city were honored by
the presence of the brave Virginians taken in ia,
fight They were kept in jail until they wert
SEM t0 Fort Delaware. Only two or three per
sons were allowed to see them
You cannot imagine the excitement about oul
poor prisoners The jail was fairly besieget
with crowds Of ladies' while loads Of clothing
aud all sorts OF deicacies were sent them The
day after they arrived it wsxTeported that more
were coming and the streets were lined ,yitl
trieads ready to receive them IS they deserved
Ladies were provided with flowers to stTHw ia
their path; but there We're no more to come
When the prisoners were taken away, hand
6eTchiefs were waved, the people cheered, and
everything was done to show them our real feel
ing For a time We forgot the Yankees in our
midst, and took complete possession of the city
What would have been done, if any of you had
been brought here as prisoners, cannot imagine
Thank God, you are safe, fighting in fearful
necessity Even your enemies could not help
bearing testimony 70 your bravery and valoI
They say they never saw such splendid fighting;
and old Shields says, in his report, 't5e bravery

There has been, for some time. a growing feel

prominent citizens went aboard and requested
the medical director Dr.. Turner, IN charge. Ia
land him here. Not receiving n satisfactory
reply they appealed to DR.. Writ in charge Of
the hospitals here, who undertook TO Investigate
the case
On board the boat was a Dr. John Murray. an
army surgeon, who made himself very oficious

he been in command when these citizens came
aboard he would have wrung their nrcks
These remarks being made and often repeated
served to increase the excitement
Shortly after noon he got into an alteration
with several gentlemen, and by his clustering
insolence and menacing gestures, added 10 the
most vulgar and opprobrious language to quiet.

that he desired TO create disturbance or suppos-

He carried his operations so far that he was at
length arrested, and taken before the mayor, who
after hearing the evidence, fined the doctor $40
and costs.
During the trial, DR.. Turner made a statement
in excuse Of his conduct to the effect that his
orders were to take Capt Polk to ST. Louis, uE-
less the nature of bis wound required that he be
left elsewhere. Reaching Cairo, he was ordered
to this city with his wounded. Returning to
Cairo, be was ordered to New Madrid, and thence
again to this city with sick. He desired to leave
the rebel captain at Cairo, but they declined to
receive him there. He denied most emphaticat

Polk than to Union officers.
He said his case was a peculiar one, and he
felt interested in II solely professional point
of view. He also handed to Mayor Baker a
written opinion of his consulting surgeon, that

! 1t would appear that another drain upon the
Federal treasury is contemplated, as vii ie
seen by the following from the Washington
correspondence Of the St. Louis RepuJiicon:
WASHINGTON, April 25-Mr. Arnold. Hom
the committee on roads and canals. hiss reported
IN favor of the bill for the enlargement OF the
illinois aud Michigan canal The report states
that the work has been more than half com
pleted by the State Of Illinois IT having es-
pended thereon over siX million dollars. In.
canal has been in operation since l-i- and uDw
yields an annual revenue of about s. uUJuuU
| Ims will be greatly increased 10y the enlarge
ment OF the Illinois river Is proposed. Tho
State OF Illinois offers this canal and revenue To-
| the United States, on condition that Congress
VIII provide the means tO enlarge ir so as 70 pass
gunboats from the lakes 60 the Mississippi This
Will place MS on an equality .vlth Great Britain,
she being able, By her canal. -0 pass way yas-
sells from the ocean 20 the lakes
The report, in view OF the fact that hv traerv
the United States is prohibited from buiIdueor
maintaining armed vessels On the lakes uTges
the necessity and importance OF the immediate
enlargement Of the canal, by which the guuDoat
fleet on the Mississippi could be passed through
TO the lakes
Had this medium OF communication been opeu
at the beginning of the rebellion, the twelve
hundred vessels and fifteen hundred sailors now
shut up on the lakes would have been at the
disposal Of the government
The saving 10 the treasury durur the past
yeGr would have DUeu vastly more than the cost
Of the COntemp lated work
The committee believe the increase viii more
than pay the interest on It's cost and ultimately
pay the entire amount invested.

The organization by the Secretary of War %.
the department OF the Shenandoah command. J
by Gen. Banks, seems 70 have been based upon
the idea that the CoDtederates iu Virginia would
locate the eventual left wing OF their ne for the
defense of Richmond at Stauuron, west of the
Blue Ridge. Why Secretary anton should
have made this guess we do not know, for every
indication pointed to GordoRsviilc, which is in
Gen. McDowell's department. It now appears
that the rebel Gen. jackson is leaving, or has M.
ready left, StaUnton. to join the main body of
Gen Smiths forces al GordOnSviilc. so that when
Gen. Banks reaches the Virginia Central raj
road he viii find that he must 60 out Of bis da-
paTtmeDt to find the enemy. This Is but another
proof 70 show how premature and III advised was
the order erecting two new departments out Of
Gen. McClellans command, and making indie
pendent armies ont of wha' should havorcnained
70 be controlled by a single head. The impolcv
Of the separation has already been seen by the
developments at Yorktown, and in the bickcr-
ings among officers; and we are glad TO hear
that, although the order in question has not been
countermanded the different corps viii hereafter
cooperate in the great work of the war. and for

The ship was fire.
As soon as the fire was observed. the Stork
slipped her moorings and steamed up to the head
of the Undaunted, set the FIRE engine to work
Signals were also made to send a body Of men
from the Excellent to man the large fire floating
fire engine, and TO the Comet government tug,
to tow up with all haste TO the rescue Such,
however, was the destructive nature Of molten
iron, that the doomed vessel was soon one solid
mass Of flame, and it was considered by Capt
Hewlett eXpedient TO seattle and sink the ship
This was accordingly done After firing six
rounds into her between wind and water, down
she went at her moorng, leaving only the top
sail OF her forecastle deck and poop visible. The
wind being fresh from the southeast caused the
poop to take FIRE, but by this time the powerful
floating engine, worked by one hundred hands,
poured tuns and tuns ofwater upon the burning
tmber5, and in twenty minutes the fire was SUP
dued. 1t is impossible to attach too much i'm
