The Capture Of rhe sally yvoed.

We are now enabled 10 give the following
particulars, furnished rs by EIr. Isaac Bank
stone, 9 participant in the capture Of the Yam
kes transport. the Sally Wood which occurred
on Tuesday last, near Island No. -.
She was fired on at Argyle landing, three
miles above Greenvills. where cur batteries
poured sixteen shot into her, several striking
She then steamed on ap to Island -, = distance
by water Of 10 miles, and one mile scT0ss by
land. Here our forces Gg1in opened upon her,
firing some ten or fifteen shots, one shot striking
her steam pipe, and letting of ell her steam
at this iUnclure she lowered her flag and made
for the Arkansas shore, where the Yankees
abandoned her ia great haste and confusion,
giving miniature skedaddLing representation
Of Bull Run.
Capt Blackburn, who was in command Of the
detachment, had to send six miles for slziffs be-
fore he could board her. After the szifs ar
rived the captain and q detachment Of fifteen
men proceeded to board the vessel They cap
tured the mails, some . or 30 blankets one fine
horse, several trunks, considerable quantity
OF clothing, many watches, and . fine supply Of
ice. Our informant says the soldiers have had
plenty of ice water since the affair.
After relieving the vessel Of the arms and
such articles as were needed By our troops, she
was burnt. While the flames from the Sally
Wood were raging, another Yankee steamer, the
Victoria, steamed past, and our batteries opened
also upon her, several shots striking her but
without serious injury.
Corporal Nelson, with a detachment Of seven
teen men. was landed on the Arkansas shore,
and engaged in the pursuit Of the fleeing foe.
FOrty-Eve were captured, among whom was
seven negroes and two white women. Our
forces offered to release the ladies' and see tha5
they we've made comfortable, but they preferred
to share the captivity Of their husbands. They
were brought down to Vicksburg in 6uggies,
and handed over to the provost marshsL-1lis-

The Now York Herald Of the 24ih say5

The New York Herald OF the S4tn says
The telegraphic advicss which we publish this
morning from Washington throw q flood OF light
upon the late ministerial and military cOusults-
items in that quarter, especially upon the order
Of the 22d from the War Department, defining
the inforcement Of the con6scstion act 1t thus
appears that between the radicals and conserva-
tfves the Cabinet has been upon the verge Of q
complete dissolution that Mr. Seward had made
up his mind to resign his position if his coucil-
istOry and magnanimOus cOunsels were 70 be
superseded BY the violent measures demanded
by cur abolition fanatics; that his retirement
would have led to an entire reconstruction Of the
Cabinet, and that to avoid such embarrassments
at this crisis, and especially to retain the Iuvalu
able services Of Mr.. Seward in the State Depart
nent, the President has resolved to hsTmOniZs,
as far as possible the execution Of the cOntsca-
ton and militia acts with the conservative war
policy which, thus far, has marked every act,
message, order or proclamation Of his.

Hon, Simon Cameron 1T the Russian
Court.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph
From private letters, received in this city di-
rect from st. Petersburg, we learn that General
Cameron, minister to Russia had arrived safely
at the capital of the nation, where his legation
is established, and that he also had his GrsbiBer-
view with the Emperor Alexander. According
to the rigid etiquitte of the Russian court, it is
not usual for the Emperor to grant an interview
until the lapse of some time after the arrival of
minister, but in this case, an audience was al
most Immediately granted, and the reception
made the more cordial by the earnest sOhcitude
with which the Emperor inquired concerning the
conditioned the American people, their resources,
numerical power, intelligence, wealth and pro
gress. During this interview, the Russian mon
arch evinced his knowledge of our system Of
government, and his admiration for the success
we had made in the development of the vast
extent of territory now within the jurisdiction
Of the Federal authority.
Thu authority, in the opinion of the Emperor
shoul, be maintained at all hazards. If the
GREAT ,public ef the west was broken down.
and ceased to WELD an influence, the course of
empire and Of civilization would be changed,
and q continent destined by God for the happy
home Of millions of free, intelligent people,
would be given to infdelity and bsTbarisrn, ruin
and desolation.
After such expressions to the American min
ioter, there can be no mistaking the cordial feel
ing and hearty sympathy Of the Emperor of
Russia, nor can thore be any misapprehensiOn
concerning the deep interest he manifests in the
success and destiny Of the United States. This
feeling was reciprocated by Gen. Cameron, who
had tho most hattering assurances to offer that
the interest of the American people was no less
sincere in their solicitude for the success and
mighty progress of the colossal empire Of the
North. Representing such widely different sys-
TENS, and covered by authority so distinct and
broad, there is still no reason why Russia and
the United States should not be united in true
and stern alliance, and WELD an irresistible in
fuence on the destinies of the world.

During the late exhibition of Van Amburgh's
menarerie at Monongahea City, Pa, q fearful
and exciting scene occurred. 1t appears that
shortly after the audience had assembled, a ter
rife storm arose, which tore the canvass into
rags, and threatened serious injury to the spec
tsfors. While the Storm King Toared and
revelled, one of the huge tigers got out OF bis
cage, which added new terror to the scene. The
vast assembly swayed from side to side, first
to that part of the tent which bad been blown
off, and then to the main entrance. Some
jumped from the top of the seats and through
the opening between the top and the circular in
closure; others cut themselves . passage through
the canvass, and all rushed with alarm for any
place of escape, prefeuing to brave the storm to
taking their chance for life amid the crushing
tinbers and furious wild beasts. Women
shreked for help, and children cried; strong
men looked pale, and taking the confusion or
the multitude and tho raging Of the storm, the
scene was fearful and appalling. The keepers
of the animals stood By the cages OF these Wild
denizens of the woods and jungles with anxious
looks. The man who kept the elephant Han
nibal stood in front af the huge brute, width his
hands upon his tusks, as pale as corpse one
Of the lions had psrtaken of the excitement, ana
by bis glaring eyebells, erect posture, and eX-
tended aud flowing name, gave an idea OF how
he looks in his naive forrest. The tiger which
had escaped from his cage was driven back by
Mr.. Van Amburgh into a cage with this lion,
and the king of the woods had put his huge paw
upon him, ard was holding him tight upon the
floor Nature, grand and terrible, was on exhi-
bition at this show After some moments oi
fearful confusion the storm ceased, and the
audience separated, but not until several had
been injured from being tTampled on and bruised
in the general confusion which prevailed.
