A Fortress Monroe letter of the 18th
says the deserters, who ere constantly
coming in, agree in their statements that
the evacuation of Richmond is, rapidly
progressing, and thc effort of the retreat
ing rebels is merely to hold back General
Mcclellan, 80 as to obtain time to remove
all their stores. They also say that the
destruction Of the city BY ERE Is threat
cned, and that it will require the utmost
efforts on the part Of the citizens to pre-
vent its contamination. That the evacu-
alton j. now progressing there is no man
nerofdoubt, and the government archieves
are being conveyed South.

But Pillow never got the dispatch.
At the end of the telegraph line nearest to
fort Doneson was an operator who was
Unionist at heart, although he did not dare to
express his sentiments. He kept the dispatch,
therefore, instead of forwarding it to Pillow,
and on the next day, Saturday, telegraphed
back in Pillows name to Gen. Johnston, say
ing that he had no need of renforcements, and
that he was abundanty able to maintain his
position.
On Saturday evening he again telegraphed
to Johnston in Pillows name, stating that he
was fighting goriously, and would be able on
the next day to drive off the Union troops.
On receiving these dispatches, pur, ortiug to
come from Pillow, Gen. Johnston took no
steps to succor the rebels at fort Donelsc n,
and they were forced to surrender The de.
ception of the operator was discovered, and
he was captured just as he was trying to es-
cape to the Union lines. He was hung by

The opponents of the bill abolishing slavery
In the District must be very much in want of
good arguments, Judging by their mode OF op.
position to the bill in the senate. Garrett
Davis, of kentucky, the other day gave an
instance OF the ruin which would be inflicted
upon slave owners here by the passage of the
bill. The case he alluded to was of widow

ings of three or four of her slaves for support.

every pro-slavery auditor was convinced that
he had made strong speech, and had arrayed
many overwhelming facts. Upon careful in
quiry into the case quoted by the Kentucky
senator. the subloined facts appear.
The poor widow owns five slaves, almost as
white as herself, and every one of whom is
receiving handsome income, which goes to
the widow. There is not one of them who
cannot amass little property if left to him.

The entire opposition to the bill springs
