Before the fleet got out of sight it was report,

her ports, or holes, and was discovered to be on
fire and sinking. Her pipes were all twisted
and rldded with shot, and her hull was also
well cut up. She had evidently been used up by
the squadron as they passed along. tried to
save her as a curiosity, by getting hawser
round her and securing her to the bank, but
just after doing 80 she family exploded. Her

Next came u steamer on fire, which appeared

and after her Two others, all burning and float

Fires seemed to be raging all along apt the riv

burning and destroying the vessels as they passed

turned to England, after having slandered and
Viiifed everything that pcrtained to our Govern
ment' prophesied continually defeat and
disaster to our arms, and misrcpresented and
ialSlied the history of our times, gives vent to
his malIgnity in parting shot at Secretary
Stanton, because that official excluded him iron,
the boat which was carrying lim to the PENN
sula. This, of itself, would be nothing ,-ncapa-
bic OF mischief, and unworthy of notice bat
We regret very much to see some papers. that
have hithero been very bitter, and Justly so, in
their denuncation of this snobbish hater Of free
institutions, repeating and endorsing his attack
on the Secretary Of war. We do not see how
enmlty against Mr.. Stanton can descend much
lower for q materials of war" than to copv and
echo the venomous assaults Of this aristocratic
malgner of Republican government.

GEN. MITcHELL's BRIDGG-W hen General
Mitchell reached Wilson Creek in his late dash,
at the rebels, Ut Bridgeport, Ala, he found the
bridge partially destroyed by che rebels who
thus hoped TO retard his progress. But Gen.
Mitchell was not thus to be banked. He i'm
nediately ezesnporized a bridge, which is thus
described
. Two cotton bales We're first placed end to
'nd, and then firmly and securely bound to-.
a3ther by running rails under the ropes, which
dlIlcuit as it may first appear in tlg htlv pack
ed oa'e, was found entirely practicable. Two
others were bound in the same way and placed
zen .eet distant, in the stream, beng bound by
ropes to the old bridge and to the trees. Boards
were then placed from bale to bale In this
manner sixty-six bales were placed, affording
nontoon bridge of strength sufficient to bear any
weight likely TO be placed upon it. The bales
looked not unlike the pontoon bridge boats in
general use, and, but for its serpentine course
the bridge would have had the usual appearance
OF a pontoon bridge"

Why Mcdowell was kept on the Rappahan.
rcoI

Mr. Raymond, editor of the New York lines
is now the war correspondent of that paper from
, the Peninsula. He made very distinct charge
not very long since, against Secretary Stanton
OF retaining Mcdowell on TIE Rappahannock
to the great predjudice of Gen. Mcclellan plans,
and thinks that it was done from an improper
motive. In a later letter, however, his sense of
justice led him to write as follows
The reason for the change, which was made
by the Secretary of war with the assent of the
President, was fear for the safety of Washing
ton. The battle at Winchester had startled them
by revealing d much stronger rebel siorce in
their Immediate front than they had supposed,
and upon inquiry they found that the troops
left for the projection OF the Capital were less
effective than had been assumed 1t Was there

wnheld and the choice fell upon the former

deal OF political importance, and which has
