The Spauiards having taken possession of Vera
Cruz on the 10Th ut published various decrees re-
,quirng the surrender Of every description Of arms in

the Capitol and enter INTO the preinaries Of peace

all the Mexicans with whom have spoken on this
these, their archenemies that tney boast of raising
an army of 100000 men in defense Of their soil The
unanimity Of this spirit shows that almost all party
conflict has ceased Several reactionarv chiefs have

Juarez, while the remainder have been driven into
the mountains.

FROM WASHINGTON AND VICINITY.

Military Gopmdndants, Provost Marshal, Y:

Washington, u. C., Aug. H. 1862.
Military Commandants, Provost Marshal, y;
s. Marshah and Poiice Officers
You will receive herewith an order of the
War Department to prevent the evasion of
military duty and for the apprehension of dis
loyal parties, dated Aug &, 1862.
This order, to be efficient, is necessarily
very comprehensive in ito terms, and its proper
execution requires the exercise of sound
judgment and discretion by the officers to
whom in endorsements is entrusted, and to
guard you in its execution the following in
structions are TO be observed
First, the order comprises two classes of per-
sons, viz those who are about leaving the
United States to evade military duty, and
those who for the same purpose leave their
own State; leaving the United States until
the military DRAFT is perfected is absolutely
prohibited. But it was not the intention Of
the order to interfere with the transit from
State to State, of any person but those who
designed to eyade military duty. Whenever
you have reason to believe that the purpose
to evade military duty, the order will au-
thorize the detention of any person leaving
his own State, county or military district
Second, Any person detained may be re-
leased on giving bonds to the United States
with sufficient security of $1,000 conditional
for the performance of military duty, if he
should be drafted, or the providing of pro-
per substitute.
Third, Immediate report is to be made to
this office OF all persons detained, with the
cause Of their detention.
Fourth You will exercise to powers of ar
rest and detention with caution and forbear-
ance, so as to avoid giving annoyance or trou-
BILE to any persons excepting those who are
seeking to eyade the performance of their
duty to their country.
Fifth, The Governors of the respective
States are authorized to give passes and per-
mits to their own citizens desiring to leave the
State without intent to evade military duty.

FRoM GEN MeoLELAAN,s Army.

NV YORK, Aug. H.
The correspondent OF tho Times, writing
under date Army Of the Potomac, Aug. TO-,
says Gen. Hooker retired from Malvern Hill
on account of 10000 rebels being sent against
him. AZ yet no fighting Of any conseq
has taken place on the south side OF the river.
We have bad considerable force over there
for the past few days, anticipating that the
enemy would make their appearance. Tie
does net seem inclined to move towards our
troops and according to information obtained
froH Authentic sources they sNli reNNin in
the immediate vicinity of petersturgh. h.
Three days ego Il Sss thought ey nearly all
that an engacenett '@ooB certainly take
place within brie, time on the other side
Of the river, and Il is somewhat singular that
the rebels should have allowed us to remain
within so short distance of Peters 5urgh
without attempting to drive us from the po-
sition. It is not probable, that any move
ment will take place for sometime, unless the
enemy make an attack.
FORTRESS MoNRoE, Aug II.
In regard to the occupation and evacuation
Of Malvern Hill by the federal troops. little
has been said Our accommodating division
took possession on Tuesday, and on that day
all the Generals Of the army went up, and
General Mcclellan sent back for the greater
part OF the army, but the messengers took the
wrong road, aud we're thus delayed so long
that the troops did not reach Malvern hill I'M
ill it was too late, and only portion of those
sent for arrived, and those only in season to
beat hasty retreat. This was on Wednes-
day noon, and on that day great battle
could have been fought had our forces arrived
in season,
But as some Of them was approaching and
in ght Of Malvern Hill, there was very
large force of rebels seen coming from Rich
mond, numbering at least 100 900 men, fill
ing all the roads, passage ways and vacant
lots as far as they could reach A retreat
was accordingly made to Harrison's Landing.
Gen. Mcclellan had planned for great
battle, but the enemy were not asleep. and
have taken possession of Malvern Hill with
an immense army.

FROM THE TENTH REGIMENT.
In CAMP AT BRATTLEBoRo',

In IAMP AT BRATTbbBohO
Aug. Sth, 1862.
Mr. EDiToR:-Aoting upon the very rea-
sonable supposition that even trAing incl
dents in the career Of the Washington County
Co. are interesting to the patrons of the Jour
nal, your correspondent asks you to devote a
corner in your columns to an imperfect de-
soripuon of an affecting scene which occurred
in our camp this morning:
Ever since the commencement Of this I'M
happy war, aud most especially since the issu-
ing Of recruiting papers for the Tenth YER
mont Regiment, l.. l.. Durant, ESQ of Wa
tcrbury, has neglected his legitimate business
and given all his time and energy to the cause
of his country. Mingling and sympathizing
with the young men Of his native town, he
has impressed all with whom he has come in
contact, with the importance of the work in
which they were called upon 10 engage, and
sincerely mourned that defert in one of bis
hands prevented his offering himself upon the
same altar. Being warm personal friend of
Capt Dillingham; he has been constantly in
the midst Of the company during the pro-
gress Of their enlistment. and proved his
right to their friendship by substantial evil
dences Of his devotion to their welfare amos ny
which might mention warrantee to all that
he would become responsible to their employ
ers Tor any damage which might be claimed
for non-iul6lment of contracts for labor, NC
At the earnest request Of 1.-THE boys" Mr..
Durant accompanied us to .Brsttleboro' 49,
This morning the company was called into
line to witness the presentation by this Father
Of the boys, Of two elegant swords purchased
by the people Of Waterbury, TO Capt. Dilling-
ham and Lieut. Thompson. My tardy pen
caught but few sentences. which were near
~ as follows:
capt Dillingham; Through me. by the donors. allow
me 20 present TO you end Lieut. Thompson these swords
and belts, slight token Of remembrance Take them
grind them 20 the kesnes edge and never turn sheir
edge except the rebellion pa: down. We give them TO
YOU not because " their intrinsic value but that YOU
might remember us when far away Dixie. Edf for
always called you BY that familiar nsme and cannot
nov become the military mani and Lucisn y know
rebel blood.
Young men Of Washington County, you have young
ana hitherto nnired boy to lead you, but rest assured
be is worthy the confidence you have feposed IN him
know him too well to distrust him.
Take these swords and belts and buckle them on, and
when far away, think, though absent that aside from
home and friends around your fresde you are ever
remembered by those whom you have lefi behind
AT the conclusion Of the address the Cap
tain and Lieutenant stepped forward and re-
ceived the gifts, and Capt. Dillingham; made
a handsome acknowledgement. When they
were dismissed there were few dry eyes in the
company, and venture that those exceptions
belied the hearts Of their possessors.
