to Eastern Maryland to arrest Judge Carm-
ichael, and Prosecuting Atty. Powell on 4
charge of treason.

be resisted by one hundred armed men.
The excitement was intense on Monday and
threats of violence were repeated. The
Marshal telegraphed to Gen. Dix, who sent
l2j Of the 81 Delaware regiment u the
scene.
Before they entered the town the Marshal
entered the court and told the Judge ne must
consider himself under arrest. The Jud.c
demanded his authority. The Marshal re-
piled That OF the United States. The
Judge said he did not recognize that author
ity under the circumstances. One Of the OF
fcers assembled the steps to make the arrest
when the Judge resisted and kicked him
The officer drew a revolver and struck tire
Judge on the head, inficting asliSht wound.
Other officers arrested Powell and two other
citizens, named McNab and Pereault.
Ii was all done in a few moments.
There was the greatest excitement in the
Court room. The military soon appeared
outside, and after u short delay the prison
eTs were marched to the steamer and brought

OF Tie truth oi his story, and The long roll

rebels appeared and strange to say not a gun
was fred by the pIck.ts OF the lst Maryland

They may have been -Irpri7cd, owing to 4

The battery discharged shot and shell for
nearly two hours, until nearly all Its am

There Is no doubt OF It's efficiency but 1t

the entire column moved over the Shenar-

The rebel force consisted Of eight c9mpan-

lie told them they had better return t.
the pike and escape as they best could. The
rest of the story relates to the Captains es-
cape and is not important.
There were only SIX companies engaged in
the fight, the rest of the regiment beng on
picket duty and acting as provost guard at
Front Royal.
Whilst passing over the bridge the Captain
distinctly saw the rebel forces. There was a
very strong column of cavalry, say four
squadrOns, eight companies aad tive req
ments of infantry.
Col. Henley in addressing the men when
they tyok to the pike, told them that their
only chance was stand and fight to tie last,
specially as the rebel cavalry were fast
pushing on
Capt. Smith states that he did not see
them display the white flag. He had not
proceeded far before 4 cavalry officer rode up
10 him and demanded his sword and piston,
which he threw upon the ground. In the
confusion Of the occasion he regained his
pistol, and observing a rebel shoot one oil the
LIST Maryland, he drew and shot him, and
succeeded, with Lieut.. Camphor, in securing
the rebels horse and riding of.
After proceeding about two miles they
came across an ambulance in which Col.
lay. The vehicle was passing along
the pike and had been fred into by the re
bel cavalry several times, and finding them
closely pursued they abandoned the
horse and lcaping several fences took to the
works where they managed to conceal them
selves until the enemy gave up the search.

FRos EURoPE.--The following intelligence
received by the Europa Yesterday

FRos EURoPE.-The following intelligence
was received by the Europa yesterday:
The Times thinks the capture OF New Or
leans is important and that the sccessi0nists.
exhauste | by long and laborious campaign,
dloplrlted by advances of various Federal ex-
petitions, will be glad 10 CONT to an arrange
ment to re enter the Union on reasonable and
easy terms, which the North would be- glad to
offlr. This feeling has sustained the Fcderals
IN ali the difficulties OF their Position. They
are accommodating a debt Tor which no finance
is providing. Although their armies are
threatened with a summor campaign should
the c0nfcderates hold out, and though NJ
one pretcnds to explain how the republican
government is to be worked with eight mil
lions OF people brought into the Union by
force; yet the elitIon caused by the recent
NIL tarY success Is 50 extreme in the North,
that no federal doubts full and final victory
to be within the grasp Of the government
As regards the South, the Times says they
are apparently as determined as ever, but
from the manner in which the military
leaders have allowed themselves to be wOg-
stcd On the Mississippi, the confidence Of
their cwn people, and foreigners must be
shaken in the ultimate success Of ticir
cJuTse.
The Morning Post roitcratc. it, iclirl that
the elect Of the federal occupation Of New
Orleans on the war will be unappreciable.
The Mo- mig Herald Of the l1th believes
the confederate retreat from Yorktown will
be found Il mastery piece If stri,c-
y by the conleierat,s - gain timc, when
every weeks time is Of the utmost import
ance. They compel the enemy To take up
positions at a greater distance from bis base
of operations, thus deprivIns the enemy Of
his chief source Of strength, t e ail Of the
gunbJats, and they obtain a perfect c1ncen-
tration Of the whole confederate army in Vir-
glnil around Richmond, SD rendering each
federal cJrpsd arpee cJny,r-ing upon the
Southern capital, exposed 10 a crushing
attack from overwhelming numbers.
The Daily Macs says the military problem
awaits solution l. the slr,c as before /
the evacuation Of Yorktown.
