The THIRTY-FoURTH REGIMENT IN THE
BATTLE OF SATURDAY The Washington
correspondent OF the Boston Transcript, writ
ing Monday evening, says:
Five regiments from the north arrived here
yesterday Sunday and went straight on into
Virginia, toward the field. Thirty-five thous-
and men, of the new recruits mostly, includ-
ing the SD and 3+th Massachusetts, have been
sent forward from near by the city, most OF
them within the last three days. COL Weiss
and Col. MaggtS regiments mere both in the
fight. The rest of the newly arrived men are
now formed into a strong line of p;ckets, and
are stretched out across the entire country
this side of the heights of Centreville, to in
tercept the passage of stragglers from the
field, who have shown themselves in consid-
cradle numbers since Friday, Ell route to
Washington, unarmed and without equip
ments. They are now invariably turned back,
if found not rounded.

LIQUoR EMBARGO IN WAsHNGToN.-A
military prohibitory liquor law is now in full
force in this city, thanks to the prudence and
foresight Of our excellent military governor,
Gen. Wadsworth. We sincerely hope this
order will be rigidly enforced, and particular
ly in the places where the shoulder straps are
most frequently seen. Let not our streets be
disgraced by such scenes as Alexandria has
witnessed within week or more. There are
thousands Of wives, mothers, and sisters in
the country, who will bless our governor for

pense soon to be Ended.
Correspondence of the Boston Traveler.J
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The critical days
are upon us. IF we beat the enemy now, he
is defeated forever-if he achieves a decided
triumph over the forces under Gen. Pope, it
is more than probable that Washington will
fall into the hands of the rebels, and that the
rebel congress will remove from Richmond to
Washington. 1t is expected at the war de-
paFtment that this suspense will be ended
within day or two. If battle is fought to-
day its results will be momentous. 1t is
thought that the rebels will make an attack
some time to-day upon Pope at Centreville.
There is one good sign of the condition of
things. Gen. Halleck knows better perhaps
than any other man in Washington that by far
the strongest line of defence is the Potomac
line. He knows full well that our entire
army could easily hold that line. The line
across Manassas cannot be held as easily.
Hence if Gen. Halleck was convinced that
Pope's situation is a desperate one, he would
| most certainly order him to fall back upon
Washington and the works here. Our gunboats
could easily protect the lower Potomac. We
shall need no troops below Washington, and
could throw nearly all our forces upon the
upper Potomac, this side of the river at Ed
wards Ford, at Leesburg, and at Harper's
Ferry, and even above. We could hold this
line Of defence for couple of months with
ease. There can be no doubt of this, unless
the rebels completely use up the troops under
Pope, in the battle about to come off. That
Mr.. Lincoln and Gen. Halleck are EXTREMITY
agitated, is of course, a fact No sensible
man could fail to be anxious in such critical
days as these. Pope beat the rebels on FRI
day-they got the advantage or him on Sat
urday. With such results so different on two
consecutive days, one caunot feel certain of
the future.
MCCLELLAN AND Mcdowell.
Rumors respecting Gems. Mcclellan and
Mcdowell have been flying very thick all day
According to street rumor both are under ar
rest, but in this instance rumor lies. The
| stories grow out of the fact that the president
and Gen. Halleck were very indignant at the
dilatory movements of Mcclellan in forward
| ing troops to the assistance of Pope. Gen.
| Pope declared yesterday that if ten thousand
men had been sent him on Friday he could
have entirely destroyed the enemy, and if
twenty thousand had come up Friday night,
he could have won decisive victory on Sat
urday. About 10000 reinforcements arrived
Saturday night and Sunday at Centrevie
and Gen. Pope is that much stronger than he
was.
1t is singular how all the stories Of the SOL
diers of McDowell's command agree on one
point, those, mean, who are wounded and
have come up here. They all, to a man. call
Mcdowell a traitor. This idea cannot be
eradicated from their minds. OF course there
is not one word Of truth in it. Mellow
| ell is one of the few republican generals He
is very close friend of Secretary Chase TO
Mr.. Chase he owes almost everything OF
course he is not traitor. The suspicion is

Col. FLETCHER WEBsTER.-There appears
to be no longer doubt of the death of Col
Fletcher Webster in the battle of Friday last
He was removed from the field Immediately
after the explosion Of the shell which disa-
bled him, and expired soon atterward. His
remains are reported to be on their way to
Massachusetts. Col. Webster was the first
and only surviving son of Daniel Webster,
and at the time Of his death was the senior
colonel of the first brigade of the first division
of the army corps of Virginia, commanded
by Gen. Banks. His command was one Of
the first formed in Massachusetts for the
three years service, and took the field imme-
diately after the battle of Bull Run, in the
summer of last year

DEATH OF SETH WEBB, JR.-Many friends
throughout the commonwealth will read with
sorrow the announcement of the death of Mr..
Webb, which occurred on Sunday last at his
fathers residence in Scituate. Mr.. Webb
was still in the prime of life, not vet having
passed his thirty-ninth year. His naturally
clear and bright intellect, cultivated bv obser-
walton and study, would have secured to him
high rank in his profession, but for the on
preston of prOtracted illness, and his early
and lamented death. In July 1861, then in
feeble health, he was appointed commercial
agent at Port au Prince in Hayti, which Office
he held at the time of his death. From hi.
youth Mr.. Webb was an earnest anti-slavery
man, and gave the strength and purity of hi,
first convictions to every political movement
which recognized the euual rights of men.
lie has been cut off while the principles to
which he was devoted are still in the fiery
furnace Of trial, and at time when they
needed most the help Of all true hearts and
earnest purposes like his.

THURSDAY. SEPT. i, 1859.

Who DID IT?-It was noticed in the re-
cent message of JEFF Davis that he spoke OF
Gen. Hunter as the general recently IN COM
mand" in South Carolina. The fact that
Gen. Hunter had been removed from that
command was not known here until fortnight
after the message was delivered. 1t is true,
however, that the order superceding him had
then been issued at the war department,
and the language of jeff. Davis shows
that somebody had communicated the
fact to the rebel leaders at Richmond.
Who did it? Through whose treachery
did this government secret go to Rich
mond so quickly? A correspondent of
the Boston Transcript asks very pertinently,
SIS there anything rotten in the adjutant
generals Office at Washington" This ques-
ton has been asked more than once since the
war began. There is treachery somewhere
near the government offices. Where is it?

WHO WAS IN FAULT.-Mrs. Hall of Boston,
who came on from Washington, last week,
with son wounded and disabled in battle
tells the following story of cruelty and brutal
lty, lying at the door of some one connected
with the New York and New Haven railroad.
which the public will do well to remember !:
Her son, who Is 10 years of age, and a mem
Der OF the first Massachusetts regiment. re-
celved gunShot wound in the left side, the
ball lodging near the spinal column, not ex-
tracted, at the battle of Fair Oaks, causing
total paralysis of lower limbs On being as
sured he could not live many days, he felt as
though he must reach home if possible. His
mother brought through tickets from Wash
lngton to Boston, for which she paid Sl3 l-2
each, and if she took the sleeping cars she
was to pay 81 extra. After starting she was
told that in consequence of her son being
there the passengers did not like it, and she
must therefore pay S. more. Arriving at
New York the conductor took her tickets,
saying he had no conveyance for a sick sol
der to the depot She therefore paid 50 1-2
to reach the Eastern depot, and when there
she enquired if she could be accommodated
with two seats for her son, on which to lay
cot, on which to lay his emaciated body. She
was told she must pay $40 extra for the two
seats his cot would occupy. She replied that
the little supply of money was now about
gone-she could do no more. She said the
conductor answered that he should be blamed
II he passed her, but he reluctantly refraned
from putting them out of the cars. The writer
spoke a few words of comfort TO the fainting
soldier who had thus fallen in defense of us
all, and bidding mother and son good bye,
left them in the cars at New Haven, coming
away in Sadness Hartford Courant.

a very ridiculous one. 1t only shows how
very unpopular he is among his men.
With Mcclellan the case is different He
seems to be very popular with the most of his
troops, (not with alb but is not in favor with
Halleck, the President, the secretary of war,
and with some of the best generals of the ar
my of the Potomac. There is strong distrust
Of his ability to make successful offensive
war. The Star has a rumor tonight, that af-
ter consultation with the president and Gen.
Halleck tonight, he has been placed in com
mand of the new troops in the Notifications
around Washington.

FROM BATON RoUGE-A Portion OF THE
CITY DEsTRoYED.-A recent letter from an
officer OF regiment stationed at Baton Rouge,
La, states that the army has destroyed a por-
ton OF the city, and the men are busily at
work throwing up Notifications, under cover
OF the gunboats. The writer states that the
men are Ike constantly at work, having but
about four hours day for sleep. Should the
rebels be bold enough to make another attack
upon the place, he is of opinion that they
will find the federals fully prepared to receive
them.
