The Eighteenth Regrlars.

We are happy 10 announce the TACT that the
18th regiment will be complete in a short
time. Col. Darlington thinks sixtyS days will
not only fiji up, but also have it under perfect
drill and discipline. When full, Col Caring
tou will be ready to move anywhere that he
may be ordered, and will take command in
person. The uutireing energy of the Colonel
cannot be too highly praised. He viii, when
the regiment is complete. have accomplished a
hercllean task, viii ch few other men in Ohio
would have undertaken. The meu employ
their time not used in drills, parade, &C. in bull
ding entrenchments, breastworks, bastions, &c.
&c. that when in the field each and every man
Will know how to go to work in an emergen-
cy. The regiment will be an honor to the
State, and when complete aud in service will
make its mark.-[Oolumbus Fact,

BALTIMORE, May 6.-Among the pris-
oners taken at Yorktown is the Chief of
Engineers of Gen. Johnsou's staff, who
states :he whole rebel army at Yorktown
amounted to $4,000 men. He gives q
very deplorable account of the condition
of the army, and says they will be un-
able to make stand anywhere this side
of Richmond.
Their retreat commenced before day
light Saturday morning, and he doubts
not that the advance was 20 miles distant
at the time the last gun was fired from
Yorktown.
On Saturday morning, Gen. McClel-
Ian signallcd five gunboats lying before
YorktowR to proceed up the river to West
Point, and remove all distinctions in
their way
Quite a feet of steamers and vessels,
loaded with troops, were discovered, and
pursuit commenced, resulting in the
capture of some, whilst others were run
ashore and fired by those on board, who
escaped to the woods.
1t is said that by three o'clock in the
p. NJ. the gunboats had reached West
Point, the head of navigation, nearly 80
miles above York-t town, frequently she'll
ing parties Of the enemy, who were fly
ing along the shore, and hanking that
portion of the retresting arrRy, who were
moving towards West Point to take the
railroad to Richmond,

II the Rebels are to be believed, the cap
iure Of the two forts below New Orleans by
orr feet was one of The most wonderful achieve
ments in the history of war. Less than three
weeks ago We read an article in one Of the lead
ing papers Of New Oricaus, purporting TO be
a sta ement of the ciiy's deiences. The writer
said that the Forts had each hundred guns Of
the greatest known c.llibrc: that several huge
chain cab'eS were sire ched across the river b; :
tween them which 10 hCmln excrtion could
get through in less than three hours, within
which time the forts could sink the whole navy
of the United States; that, besides, innumcra-
bic torpedoes were planted there ready 10 be
let of at any moment and capable of annhilat-
ing anything that floats; and that, even if il
were possible for 4 feet 10 pass ali these terri
BILE obstacles, the forts, the chain, and the in
lernal machines, it would still find its perils bat
Just begun, the whole river above being lined
upon both banks with most formidable batter
les, and New Orleans itself being rendered i'm
pregnable by the vast rortresses just without lis
verge.
Now as this was rebel statement appear
ing in high quarter, and as we all know that
rebels never exaggerate for purposes of intimi-
dation or anything else, VIC must certainly con
clude that Com. Farraguts feet could take
Gibralter any morning before breakfast What
warIike exploit Of ancient or modern times can
compare with this last triumph of our glorious
navy?

secesh at Columbus.

The Columbus Journal states as fact that
cannot be eontradic'ed, that so great has been
the leniency displayed toward the secession
prisoners in allowing them free license in speak
ing their lisloyal sentiments, that Hail Co
lumbia was Kissed at the Theater, aud that
when allusion was made to standing by the
good old flag, in the play, by one of the per-
formers. the patriotic sentiment was hissed.

The only intelligence i'll regard 10 the cap
turo of New Orleans yet received, comes
through rebel sources. The circumstances at
| lending the capture will not be fully known un-
til our officers are heard from. That the stars
and stripes wave triumphantly over the city,
and that it is occupied by Gen. Butler with a
large Federal force. IS certain-but beyond this
| little is known. II is uncertain whether Forts
Jackson and St. Phillip, below The city, were
surrendered or mott seems probable they
were not-but If such is the case, they will
doubtless soon be captured if the enemy does
not abandon them.
We give in another column what purports
to be the correspondence between Flag Officer
Farragut and the Mayor, on the appearance Of
our feet in the river opposite the city. II comes
! through the Richmond papers, and may be in
correct or not complete. 1t cannot be posi-
ble, if the correspondence is correctly and
fully reported, that the commander Of our TO
tilia permitted such intolerabe insolence as
that contained in the Mayors cpistle to so un-
punished. The impudent traitor should at
once have been arrested and held I'LL be learn
ed better manners, and should have been com
PEELED to take down the rebel flags and hoist
the National banner, as required. There have
bcen too many exhibitions of defiance of the
power of the Government on the part of Of
iciaIs and citizens of rebel cities that have been
captured by our forces, ard it is high time stop
should be put to it,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1861.
My DEAR COMMERCIAL Three months since,
sent you a waif from this great focus Of excitement,
written just after the disastrous panic and route of
our army at Bull Run. Yet here | find the two great
armies occupying about the same relative position as
before that engagement. The Uuionists guarding the
Capital at every point, and pressing, though more
slowly and cautiously than before, upon the as slowly
retreating rebels, with a prospec; Of a general engage
ment at any moment The desperate fight near Lees
burg, a few days since, in which the advance guard
of Gen. Stones division was attacked and repulsed,
after a most brave resistance, by a force of four times
their number, was a needless sacrifice. The attempt
to push a force across a river on a hostile shore, with
out providing sufficient transportation, either for
reinforcements or a means of retreat. was a gross
bluuder, and TO our brave troops a fatal one.
l witnessed, a few days ago, the funeral pageant
Of the lamented Col Baker, the distinguished Senator
from Oregon, who fell in that bloody fight while
cheering on his men. His body was pierced with ten
balls, almost any one of which would have proved
fatal. The funeral cOrtege was solemn and imposing
it was composed Of three regiments of infantry, with
arms reversed, and bands playing n solemn dirge,
and long procession of carriages containing persons
Of distinction, among whom were the President, (who
was an intimate personal friend Of Baker, who had
resided in Illinois. and his Cabinet, Gen. Scott and
stan, N OlneTS- mat was the las public appear
ance Of Gen. Scott as Commander Chief of the
army. Yesterday. being in6rm and worn out by the
arduous duties Of a long life spent in the service of
his country, he avsiled himself of the special act of
Congress passed at the last session, which permits
him to retire with full honors and pay during his life.
ard resigned his command as the head Of our i'm
mense army to the more vigorous, but less expe-
rienced, Gen. George b. Mcclellan. The proceedings
on this deeply interesting occasion, and the dOcu-
ments accompanying them, show the perfect conf
dence and esteem in which this noble chieftain is held,
and must have been extremely gratifying 10 the
SCARED and worn veteran. He leaves to-day for
Europe, and will be accompanied to New York by the
Secretaries of war and navy. His wife has been in
Europe some years. Ii would be an interesting spec
tacle to witness, if the stern old warrior should come
in contact with any Of the Rebel Commissioners in
Europe, as he may probably do. The boldest of them
might well quail before the indignant glance Of his
eagle eye, dimmed though it may be with years.
The great topic now occupying mems minds is the
