B8 ExCITENENT AMONG TuE CORbwA1S-
ERs-THE AMEnIcAN FLAG HAULED Down.
Yesterday about noon. as the Peirpoint
Battery, Capt. Buell., was coming down
Main street, some seven or eight workmeu
employed in shoe house, near the sus-
pension bridge, threw AN American flag
out of the window. A woman employed
in the establishment, upon discovering the
flag, being of secesh persuasion, pulled it
into the room in presence of the men,
and took possession of it. The men, be-
ing justly Indignant at this outrage, pro.
ceeded down stairs in body, and demand
ed of the proprietor whether the Tag had
been taken down by his instruction or with
his knowledge and consent. The proprie-
tor answered that he had given no instruc-
tions in regard to the matter. The men
then asked if, in case they procured a flag
at their own expense, they would be per-
mitted to hang it out of the window, to
which the proprietor answered that when
he wanted a flag to hang from his window,
he would get one. At this the men, seven
in number, all of whom are true and loyal,
announced that they would leave the shop,
which they intended to do last evening, or
as soon as they completed the several jobs
upon which they we're engaged This
publication is made upon the information
aud authority OF the men themselves.
P. S.-Since writing tie above, the pro-
prietOr of the shoe house has called on us.
He says tue flag was an old tattered one,
and that the reason why it was taken down
was because the people were laughing at
it from the street.

yesterday afternoon on the enemy's ship

first shot, which was followed in rapid
succession by others, caused the rebel YES

No damage was supposed to be sustained
by the rebels as the range had not been

They were not long kept waiting when a
large pivot gun stationed on the heights
at Yorktown sent a messenger which
caused every one to jump fer the trenches.
The firing was now kept up quite brisk

SHIPPING STOREs TO MONTERREY
We learn that large shipments of Quarter
masters and Commissary stores are now
being made to Monterey from Clarksburg,
both by wagons andby pack mules. The
mud on the roads along the route, is, in
many places, belly deep to the horses.
A letter from the scene of operations
gives some idea of what it costs to trans
port stores to Manterey. A two horse wa
gOn takes eight barrels Of hard bread,
about seven hundred pounds net weight,
costing tibet overnmeutthree dollars per day
for each two horse team aud wagon. Being
fourteen days making the round trip, the
total cost transporting of seven hundred
pounds Of hard bread is forty dollars, ex-
actly six cents per pound, making altogeth-
er ten cents and one-half per pound. The
mule packers generally put two hundred
pounds upon each mule, and the Govern
ment allowance for each mule is nine
pound of oats, and twelve pounds of hay
per day. They load with oats. soy one
hundred mules, which will take twenty
thousand pounds, and by the time they
make the trip to Monterey and back, Oocu.
plying fourteen days, as they do not go over
fourteen miles per day, they will consume
twelve thousand six hundred pounds of the
oats, besides the hay, leaving balance of
seven thousand four hundred pounds. Nine
men at $24 per month, andone train mas
ter at $40 month, are sent in charge of each
train of mules of the above number. q,
