Rear Admiral Foete, who has been
lying very i'll at New York for several
days past, died Friday evening at few
minutes past ten. He was a native of
New Haven, CT, born "a 1906. entered

a midshipman, in 1927 was passed mid
shi pman, IN 1880 a lieutenant, in 1862 a
captain, and 1862 rear admiral. His
efforts to secure temperance IN the navy,
to suppress the slave trade and to protect
in the Chinese seas, no less than his bril-
liant services at Forts Henry and Donelson
have given. him an enduring and most
honorable place in American history. He
was recently appointed to succeed ADM
raj Dupont in the South Atlantic block

embarking when he was seized with the
illness which has terminated fatally.

CAN'T CELEBRATE.-At the request OF the 'Spst-

Q met at the Village Hall on Monday evening lass
N take into consideration whether that able and
energetic company would turn out to celebrate the
approaching anniversary OF the declaration OF
American Independence. We are informed mat
over fifty of this splendid company gov M
her voted to celebrate. This wise and prudent
conclusion of No settles the question: ana al

are deprived of meeting their Rutland ore'hIen ~

little amends for the disappointed expectations Oh
partizan Leagures
The object of the meeting, IN the Ian
ouape of the call, was 'to take into con-
sideration the propriety of.holdlng Fire
mems Muster at Rutland on the Fourth,
bv uniting with Nickwacket Co. No. l, In
inviting companies from abroad to partlcl-
nate with them on that day, in test OF
engines. SC. The question of turn
ontn was not entertained at all at the
meeting, and the vote was taken solely
upon the propriety of holding fremen's
Muster, which, in consequence ofthelateness
ofthe day and the known previous engage
ments of some Of the companies VINO
would otherwise become their guests, 1t
was thought to be inexpedent.
These facts, we have reason to believe,
were well known to the editor Of the Cou-
rier when he penned the above article, and
yet by species of Misrepresentation Pc
culiar to himself he would have the public
believe that the members of Washington

The telegraphic dispatches of this
Thursday evening begin to indicate a
new spasmodic action of the wires, and
we are induced to believe that before 60
ing to press we shall have further issue
OF these sensational communications
But if they continue of the same contra
dictory and uncertain character which they
hold up to the time of this present writ
ing but little reliance can be placed in
them.
1t is singular fact that, considering
the length of time which has passed since
Lees first movement was made unto Ma
ryland and Pennsylvania, that none OF his
plans or designs should have been posi-
lively demonstrated or at least that the
true position of his army should not be
known with very much more certainty
than the reports as yet show, There has
certainly been a sufficient time since the
first raid was made into Pennsylvania to
give time for any decent scare to subside
and yet the dispatches from Harrisburg,
Chambersburg, and along the line in Ma
ryland, have the same uncertain sound y
which they gave in the outset. But, that
we are on the eve of important events is
"f6ciently certain; and in the meantime
SUI 10 what they can in aid of the

tho horses galloping oysr the field riderless, and
all the foe who had been killed being cartur I'd
The victory was dearly bought by the loss OF
the gallant Col. Doty, who fell MORALLY wound
ed. The fight lasted four hours, and some Of
the officers who participated, and who have been
in other fights, say it was most desperate.
The force engaged was the advance of Gen.
Stuart's cavalry, who, 1t is alleged by prisoners,
was advancing through Aide with the expecta-
tion OF making new raid.
We captured over 100 prisoners and a bat.
tie flag belonging to the 9th Virginia cavalry.
The fact that the fight was SO desperate is ex-
planned by the Importance of the position to be
gained, the commanding of the gap at Aldie and
the Bull Run and Kuttoon ridge.
From the statement Of Col. Duffy, it appears
that on Wednesday afternoon, when General
Gregg had carried the stone walls near Aide,
and driven the rebel cavalry toward Suckers
vile, he was ordered TO proceed to Mddlebury
and hold that point. His regiment went into
the engagement with 1856 men and "a officers,
On arriving at Middlebury he was informed
that force Of rebel cavalry was encamped
around the town. He was also told that the
whole of Stuart's force was in the vicinity, but
that Stuart himself had just left to reinforce
Lee, who was then falling back from Aide,
lie sent back messages Tor reinforcements. In
the meantime the rebels in 70 &c attacked Col
Dufie.
Finding himself overpowered and surrounded,
he attempted to cut his way back toward Aide.
Failing in efIecting this, he turned toward
Thoroughfare Gap and proceeded several miles,
when he ascertained that Gap was held by Ew-
ell, commanding the grand centre Of Lees
army, and that Lee was whereabouts in person,
lie then defled to the left, crossed the mountain
at Hope Gap, and succeeded in reaching our
outposts.
The reconnaissance Of our cavalry has solved
the mystery Of the present location Of Lee and
Ewell. From this source il lie also sscertained
that Longstreet was on Wednesday a. Union,
Loudon County, in the Bull Run valley Ad-
vices from below say that A. P. Hills advance
guard, consisting Of Hamp tons legion, was sd'
vancing toward Dumfries.
Combining these facts, intelligent officers draw
the conclusion that Lee is advancing upon the
Army Of the Potomac in three columns his
right, under Hill, by way 0ccoquan and Wolf
Run Shoals bis centre, under Ewell, by way Of
Thoroughfare Gap, and his left, under Long
street, by way OF Leesburg. There are indlca'
tons Of an approaching conflict.
