One of the members of the l It'll MaSSachu-
sets regiment writing Feb LIST from the
scamp near Fredericksburg" says their du-

Joseph Donnelly, deserter. was shot on
Friday last and instantly killed. by a detective
in New York from whom he was trying to es-
cape. Donnelly had escaped twice from the
Duryea Zouave regiment, and had also en-

chusetts, for which he had received repeated
bountes. The detective was held in $4,000
bonds for trial.
The fine house said to have been presented
to Mrs Mcclellan proves to be a myth. One
who has investigated the record of deeds says
he can find no such gift of honorary property
among them, and that it will prove quite an
amusing episode to this sensation story, if it is
found to be based on the simple fact that Mrs.
Marcy the mother OF Mrs. Mcclellan, having
recently purchased a dwelling house, has Of
fered her own daughter and her daughters hus
band the privilege Of abiding beneath its root
Humphrey Marshall has recently issued a
proclamation to the people of Kentucky, in
which, like his sympathizers in New Jersey,
Illinois and New York. he charges the war
upon the abolitionsts, paints alarming pic
lures Of the excuses of the party in power,
and appeals to Kentuckians to shake 5off the
! "Lincoln rule before they are subugated,
demoralized, ensaved!"
While upwards of thousand federal ex-

| twenty-seven prisoners were found to be miss
ing, and are supposed to be drowned. The
rest of the prisoners were sent on to Peters
burg by the regular trim.

The News From Charleston.

The rebel report of Ingrahams affair with
two of our blockading vessels, was so exag-
gerated as to be very unlike the truth. In
stead of driving off the blockadng fleet, he
did not Venture to approach any of the vessels
save the Mercedta and Keystone State. He
had two iron rams, one of which found it
necessary to run away when attacked by the
Housatonic; and the other, which assailed the
two small vessels, soon followed her consort
towards, Charleston. They have not since
yentured down the harbor; nor is II likely
that they will dare to come down far be-
yond the forts, at present. 1t is stated that
they came from the direction of Stone Inlet
Ingraham said he had sunk the Mercedita;
but she was so little injured that she went to
Port Royal without assistance, and would be
in complete condition again in twenty-four
hours. Tucker ''thought' he had sunk one of
our vessels; but it appears that he did not ap-
proach any Of them near enough to do or re-
ceive injury. The greatest injury done was
by single disastrous shot at the Keystone
State; but she was neither sunk, burnt, nor
captured.
This arrival brings us nothing concerning
the plans or movements of General Foster;
but we are not to understand that he is mac
tive because nothing is said of his doings. In
good time we shall know more of the real
purpose of his expedition and get an anthem
tic report of his movements. He may be near
Savannah, or on the railroad between
Charleston and Savannah, or even in Charles
ton itself, when that report comes. We
are content not to know what he is about until
he shall see fit to send a report of his doings.
1t is probable that he and General Hunter are
acting together Or in concert, and that they
will strike at both Charleston and Savannah.
Our first news from them may come by the
way of rebeldom. If so, let us not, while
reading it, forget the usual misrepresentation
of rebel reports.

Cen. mcCIel1nn,s House.

Considerable has been said in the newspa-
pers about the magnificent donation of
furnished house to Gen. Mcclellan" by GER
tain New Workers. The Boston Courier, we
remember, became inspired with the subject,
likened it to a munifcent gift TO the famous
Duke of Marlborough, became quite quite
oriental in style, and almost tainted away
over the sweetness and beauty of its
own romancing The Courier became
quite indignant because we were so irreverant
as to laugh at the superfne Mysteries of its
alteration. We shall be sorry if it shall turn
out that the story itself was nothing more than
pleasant moonshme, and that our most amia-
BILE and iberal-minded cotemporary, the Cou-
rier, had no warrant for its ecstacy. We no.
tice, however, that a correspondent of the
New York Evening Post writes to that jour
81 noticed in your paper OF January 2fth a
statement destined to go the rounds, and which
originated with the Herald that as a token of
respect to General Mcclellan, a splendid
house and furniture had been presented
to Mrs. Mcclellan. The source from
whence it emanated, cast suspicion at
once upon the credibility of the state
ment, and the minuteness with which the
furniture, wines, &C., were described and
noted, gave evidence that it had emanated
from the party most interested either directly
or by arrangement. The names of Astor and
Aspinwall were carefully interviewer as con-
tributors, and the whole was most scrupulous-
ly arranged for effect as sensation
article. Now, sir, by investigation 1 find
that no honorary gift of property can be
found on the record of deeds, and it will prove
quite an amusing episode to this sensation
story, if it is found to be based on the simple
fact that Mrs. Marcy, the mother of Mrs. Nc
Clellan. having recently purchased dwelling
house, has offered her own daughter and her
daughters husband the privilege of abiding
beneath its roof"

THE "CoPPERHEADs" IN CouNcn.-The
New York Evening Post has full report of
a secret meeting held in that city, few eve
nings since, under a call issued by VIM b.
Duncan, George T. Curtis, Belmont, the
banker, and dozen Others, for the purpose
of promoting ''the diffusion of sound political
information in this important crisis" The
speeches which were made indicated New
Hampshire as the first field of missionary la
Dor, with the view of 'oyerthrowing the rad
icals" at the approaching spring election.
DIR. Samuel Z. Morse, of the New York OBJ
server, was the presiding genius of the as
sembly, and James Brooks and George T.
Curtis its leading oracles. The latter felt
that the first duty was to break down the re-
publican party-"inythi everything to
compass that result. The meeting opened
subscriptions, and appointed committees to
carry out its objects, naming Gov. Seymour's
message, Curtis Fourth of July address, and
the speeches of eminent expositors of the
''copPerhead' sentiment in congress and out,
as among the more desirable instrumental
ties. Measures were taken to make their or
ganization permanent, in order that the coun-
try might ultimately share in the ''healing in
fuences' of sound political literature.
