New CREEK STATIoN.-New Greek Station
is upon the Potomac river, twenty-five miles
from Cumberland. 1t is u settlement Of less
than half dozen houses, erected in the woods,
and is at the mouth of the famous New Greek
which has become almost of historic interest
on account Of the many skrmishcs aud the
great amount of bush-whacking done in lis vi.

branch of the Potomac river twenty two mites

from Baltimore. The Potomac here is the di-

miles from there, and Winchester is about six

Advantage Of ths Rscsnt YietOry in Kenfueky.
The New York Herald thus sums up the
gains by the defeat of the rebels in the recent
battle near Somerset, Kentucky:
First, il cuts the inland defensive line of the
enemy-cuts il in two. and makes an opening
tbrouga which our forces on the ground may
rass-into East Tennessee and occupy those i'm
pOriant railway anl telegraph communications
between the rebel army in Virginia and their
confederate supplies and reinfOrccments of the
Southwestern State. Thus our army, from
Somerset, is now in a position to march for
ward and completely separate the rebels in
Virginia E-oin Tie rcb"ls of the Southwest, and
10 li5eratc in Fast 1ennesse = aud all that sur
rounding mountainous region a hundred thon-
sand loyal Union men. Secondly, through
this opening General Baell may m I'VE up into
the rear Of Richmond or over into North OF
South Carolina in ca operation with our sea-
board land and water forces. Thirdly. the
local advantages gained by This Somerset vie
tory comprehend the control of the neighboring
chalmlnts and salt sI'ring-, the navigation oi
the Cumberland river down to Nashville, and
easier work than we should otherwise have had
before us in the reduction of the rebel camps
at Bowling Green, Columbus, Nashville and
Memphis.

The New Orleans correspondent Of the
Charleston Courier gives the following inter
e>iiRg paragraph, un''cr date of the 9Th inst:
we have a story in circulation, and it
seems to be pretty well authenticated, that
lhrce officers from the Union feet paid our city
u ciandestine visit, disguised as oystermen, on
he-Sth. What was to be accomplished by
the hazardous adventure passes our compre-
hension, unless it was TO communicate directly
with the stationary Spits here, of which there
are many, no doubt, and prehaps to witness
the spectacal of the celebration of the anniver-
sary, falling un Thursday, with view of meas
uriug our military strength. Before leaving,
one Of them dropped note in the Post
Office 10 a military officer, with whom he was
formerly acquainted, banering him upon the
luxi'y of our guard, and promising another call

REGIMEXTAL BAxDs.-T'o face the music, "
daring the present war, requires some financial
boldncss. II appears from return made by
the PuymLster General Of the United States
army That the annual cost Of each resime.tsl
band is $I.602; that there are seven hundred
regiments Of volunteers in service, and that,
consequently, the collective cost Of their muse
is 81, ,32f 400 year. ! o this must bc-tlddrd
the expense Of clothing, Subsisting, and trans
porting these Musicians, and the liability To
pay 500 bounty 10 each Of them. if kept two
years in service, or until the war is ended
The number Of musicians in the army at pres
cit is lT,5G0-being as large as the whole
United States army before the war Strictly
speaking, the only music actually necessary in
a regiment is of the simplest description, pro
duced by drums, flies, and bugIes. OF course,
the present costly system cannot be permitted
to continuc.-PreSS.

The following is an exstract from the official
report of Col r. L. McCook. giving an ac-
count Of the part taken by his BrigaGs in the
late battle near Somerset:
Seeing the superior number Of the enemy,
and their bravery, concluded the best mode
of settling the contest was to order the Ninth
Ohio Regiment to charge the cnemys position
with the bayonet, and turn his left flank
The order was given the resmcnt to empty
their guns and fix bayonets. This done, it
was ordered 10 charge. Every man sprang TO
ii, with alacrity and yocilerous cheering.
The enemy seemingly prepared TO resist it,
but before the regiment reached him, the lines
commenced to give way; but few Of them stood
possibly ten or Twelve.
'Fhis broke the enemy IS link, and the whole
line gave way in grea! confusion, and the whole
turned into peril CT rCuf

The latest London papers bring US an inn
portant financial document-the annual and
quarterly return Of the British revehue for
1861. From this it appears that there is
net decrease in the last quarter, Of $6,OIl ,545,
and on the year 1861 of not less than SI6,-
sI7,620. The falling of is mainly in the Prop
er'y Tax fnearly 81 l5.O0o,00O in The year, and
in the excise to the amount of nearly SIS ,OOO,-
600. In Customs, Stamps, aud Post Office
there is an increase. The annual revenue for
1860 was within fraction of scven,y-Iwo
million pounds, (S36O0OO,OOO.) but the re-
ceipts for 1861 amount TO less than sixiy-ninc
million pounds actually to S343,Dl9,255.-
The main falling off is in two articles which
show the prosperity or decline Of the middle
and working classes, viz; Property Tax and
Excise; and it would be amusing. were it not
also somewhat vexatiUuS, to see the English
papers endeavoring TO dccry American re-
sources and credit, with lis own revenue fall
ing down 10 70.

a THOUSAND CHINAMEN DRowNED.-The
California journals in giving an account of
the late disastrous floods with which they have
been visited, state that the Chinese have been
very great sufferers. No less than forty.fve
Chinamen were carried away in their cabins
at Oregan Bar, in Placer county. The Chi
nese hougs in San Francisco have since receiv-
ed letters from the interior of the State to the
effect that during the late freshet, near one
thousand Cinnamon were washed off from long
Bar and vicinity, on the Yuba, and drowned.
1t appears the poor fellows remained in their
cabins on the Bar, as they had done during
previous foods, until the raging waters rose
about them aud rendered their escape impos-
sible.

How Charleston Could Have Been Taken.

Captain Sprague Of Srudusky City is among
the prisoners exchanged recently. lie was con-
fined in Charleston at the time of the Port
Royal victory, aud says:
We learned from the Irish Guards of the ap-
proach Of Gen., Sherman and the taking of
Beaufort On the next morning, the ladies who
had offered us nothing but insult, waved their
htndkerchiels towards us. This was cheering,
though we knew it WAS base hypocricy. The
officers from that time changSl their treatment
and were more civil. Both citizens and SOL
diers were perfectly paniGsstEcken, and fed in
all directions Public meetings were held tw
evenings to see what was to be DONE A ter
ror was over the whole city; they expected to
be taken. Gen. Sherman, with 5000 men could
have had the city 10y asking for it. We walked
up in the morning and longed to hear his guns.
1t would have been relief TO have had shell
crash through the Jail. 1t woitld have told US
that somebody was in earnest.
