GEN. CAMERoS.-This distinguished politi.
clan, during his recent visit to Washington,
was warmly greeted by his numerous friends
and admirers.
There is moral in this reception, which 1t
may be profitable for politicians to understand.
Mr.. Cameron has obtained the reputation Of
standing by his friends, and this virtue is held,
even by those who have never maintained that
relation to him and who have consequently
never pro6ted by his favor, to outweigh many
accusations. II is said that 1t is his boast, that
no man ever did him 30 much good that he has
not paid him with interest, while, unlike a ia
nous character Of antiquity, he has not been
equally exact in dscharging the debts of ven
geance.
MANUFACTURING IN NORTH CARoLIsA.-A
gentleman informs the Raleigh Journal that
there is factory within hundred miles OF
Raleigh, representing capital Of nine thou,
sand shares Of one thousand dollars each, which
has been and is now paying a dividend on each
share of two thousand dollars every three
months. . .
This would make the snug annual profit OF
seyepty-two millions Of dollars upon a single
factory, which is a story more delightful than
credible. .... ........

MISSOURI.

A letter of Col. b. Gratz Brown, written
October lG, is published, in which he estimates
the number of slaves now actually held In Mis-
souri,, at only forty thousand. He adds %"
"To affirm that more than one half Of those
are held by masters who have so far aided and
abetted the rebellion, as to have lost all legal
right to their ownership under the 'confiscation
act,' Is only to generalize facts Of which we
have daily illustration In the liberation of
slaves by the provost marshals, not only at
division headquarters, but throughout the in
terror counties" 'i.a' .. A....H'
We are glad to infer from this that the be-
nign and polite legislation of the last session
of Congress is being enforced In practice in
Missouri. 1t is, doubtless, to the "daily lib
Grafton Of slaves by the provost marshals I"
under that legislation, that that State Is largely
indebted for the rapid disappearance of the
great evil which has so retarded its growth and
sapped Its resources. iE
If the number of slaves In Missouri is really
reduced to forty Thousand, which we somewhat
doubt, 1t explains the unexpected success of
the emancipation party in the recent election
there. Boz. .a.
The special purpose of Colonel Browns let
ter, is to urge such an expression Of public
opinion as will induce the President to include
Missouri within his proclamation Of Septem-
Der 22. Colonel Brown is not willing that the
Cotton States should monopolize the advan-
tages of that measure, but wishes his own
Missouri to be rid of slavery at the same time.
He urges, that to do so, will liberate fry
thousand troops, whose presence is now neces-

An Important Skirmish i'm Front OF
Richmond.

The most important skirmish that has
occurred between our troops and the rebels
in front of Richmond took place on the Oath.
Engaged on our side was the Fourth Michis
gan Regiment, Col. Woodbury., who fought
for two hours with desperate and heroic
courage an entire rebel brigade. We lost
one man killed, two MORALLY wounded, and
four seriously wounded, and did not lose a
prisoner. The rebels lost one hundred kill
ed and wounded, and thirty-seven prisoners.
OF the thirty seven prisoners we took,
fifteen were wounded Our men brought
them on their shoulders across the stream,
where they were taken to house near by,
and every possible care given them by our
surgeons. They all expressed astonishmant
at the care shown them, and stated that
they had been told that If they ever fell into
our hands they would be killed, and such
fate they expected would be theirs.
Our men partook Of the dinner tie Loui-
siana Tigers had prepared for themselves.
They captured their company books, and
brought away rifles, muskets, swords, sashes,
etc. might recount any number of narrow

General Mcclellan having received ia~

He grasped Colonel Woodbury. warmly by
the hand and said Colonel, am happy to

The Recently Captured British Steamers

A Key West correspondent of the New
York Journal Of Commerce gives full &C.
count of the capture of the British steamer
Circassian, on the 4th inst, about twenty
miles to the eastward of Havana, By the
gunboat Somerset. The Somerset, as soon
as the Circassian hove in sight, ran down
toward her, rounding to under her stern,
hailed, and requested her to heave to until
boat could be sent alongside. To this
request 20 audible reply was received, the
Circassian putting on all speed and standing
on her course. Captain English then orr
dered q blank cartridge to be fred toward
her, but no notice was taken of it. A shot
was then fred broad on her quarter--sti!l
no notice. A 9-inch shell was then thrown
over her, which burst ahead of the ship
still she would not heave to. Capt. English
then ordered the captain of the gun to fire
at her masts, which was done, and the shot
cut away the sings of her foreyard Then,
and not until then, did John Bull see Git
to round to and state who and what be
was. AS soon as she was found to be
the Cigcassian, which vessel was known
to have loaded in Europe with cargo
for Dixie, Captain English informed her
Captain that he must be taken into a
United States port to have his case adjudi.
Gated. To this the Englishman objected,
and made formal protest 10 writing, but all
to no avail. The Circassian is al iron
steamer of about fifteen hundred tons, bark>
rugged, and very handsome vessel. By
her manifest she is loaded with tea, coffee,
saltpetre, clothing, blankets, sc.
TIE same letter furnishes further particu'
lars of the capture of the British steamer
Bermuda north of the Bahama Banks. In
her cargo, besides pistols and cutlasses in
any quantity, there were number of six
and a half and seven and half inch rifed
guns, together with several complete field
batteries. Then again there were nearly
fifty thousand pounds of powder in barrels,
besides cases upon cases of cartridges, fixed
ammunition and shells. Among the papers
found on board the Bermuda was com.
plete code Of night signals and sailing direc.
tions for entering the harbor of Charleston,
both by way Of Mafit's and the main ship
channel; also orders from parties in the
South for goods to be purchased for them
by the Captain of the Bermuda, which
goods are now, do doubt, on board the YES.

NEwBR1DaE, Chickahominy River, VAIL
May 26th.
The Times correspondent says, within
the past three days the disposition of the
whole rebel army before Richmond seems
to have changed quarters. Instead of the
rebels retreat.ng with all their supplies and
camp equipage towards the city, they are
coming from it in large numbers, and are
evidently determined to make stand be~
tween it and the Chickahominy river.
1t was ascertained beyond doubt that
five days ago but small force of the enemy,
say 5000 men, occupied the ground be.
tween US and Richmond. 1t was then sup
posed that our march into the city would be
easy and rapid and that an opportunity
would soon be given the Union citizens of
that place to demonstrate their delight at
being liberated from the secession yoke;
but now the aspect is completely cha nged
and numerous indications favor the belief
that our onward progress to Richmond is
to be hotly disputed by the larger part Of
the rebel army.
Every hour troops are pouring out of
Richmond and dispensing themselves along
the line of the Chickahominy, being at some
points only half mile from it.
A deserter just arrived from a Georgia
regiment states that between Richmond and
Mechancsvile and about mile and half
from the latter, three Georgian regim ents
ercamped since morning: He says that
Beauregard arrived in Richmond last
Thurs lay and hat a vigorous attempt will
be made to save the city.
Last night our guuboats on the james
River threw a few shells into the rebel bat
teries but with what effect We did not
learn.
Yesterday handcars were running from
West Point to the Chickahominy river.
This new facility for getting supplies, guns
and ammunition to the army can be readily
appreciated.
A deserter who came in this morning,
reports the main body of the Confederate
army on the north side of the railroad.
The brigade to which be belonged was doing
picket duty on this side.
The rebels claim 10000 men; but
$4,000, be asserts, will cover their entire
force.
Much dissatisfaction exists among the
rebels on account of the CONSUMPTION act,
and many would be glad to lay down their
arms did not pride forbid.
The leaders are determined to make
stand, having chosen position near Rich
nond for the purpose.
