THE ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The sEcREr-It is we'll known that the
Committee on the Conduct OF the war are,
at the present time, investigating, under au-
thority Of the Senate, wheth:,r any officers
under General Burnside, while the latter was
commanding the Army of the Potomac, came
to Washington to complain of his plans and
to urge the President to intercede and prevent
their execution To many this has been
secret Wilkes Spirit has the following on
the subject "The secret is just this: About
three weeks ago, or perhaps about four, when
General Burnside had prepared for crossing
of the Rappahannock and a general assault up
on the enemy-the weather being such as &c
invite an attack-General Franklin sent two
officers to Washington, one Of whom was
John Cochrane to demonstrate with the Pres
ident against the imprudence of the plan, and
predicting for it certain failure Mr.. Lincoln
immediatey countemanded the attack, and
sent orders to that effect to Gen. Burnside e.
Burnside then went to Washington, but it was
too late. The mischief had been done, and
when he was next ready to advance the mud
and rain caught him in his movement, and he
was forced to abandon the design.

point by the ram Queen OF the West. She
started on her voyage at five on the morning OF
the Sd, and though hot fire from the Confed-
crate guns was poured upon her, and she de-
laved to butt Confederate steamer which lay
under the bank, and was hit twelve times, no.
BODY on board was hurt The transports in the
Ouachita and Red rivers will be attacked. Col.
Ellet who commands the ram, states that in
running past Vicksburg he attacked steamer
lying in front Of the city, and set fire to her
with cou bustible shells, but the Confederates
succeeded in extingushing the flames. The
cotton barricades OF his own boat taking fire
from the Confederate shells, Col. ilet was
forced to desist from this attack, and continue
on past the batteries which he ran without
receiving any serious damage. After passing
Vicksburg, the Queen Of the West ran down
the Mississippi until she came near enough to
Port Hudson to draw the fire from the Confed
crate batteries. On her way down tie river
she encountered three Confederate steamers,
loaded with provisions for the Confederate ar
my, and succeeded in sinking the three,
and took fifty: six prisoners, including one Col.

HONOR TO THE 9TH MAINE.-That por-
ton of the 9th Maine regiment, which volun-
teered its services after the time of service
hand expired, returned home yesterday. Some
thirty-five or forty members Of Co.'s G and II,
belonging in Buxton, Hollis and Hiram came
to the city intending to take the York &
Cumberland cars to go home; but they were
too late. These soldiers were under the COM
mand of Capt. Warren, and were met by the
Committee of reception on the part of the
City Council and taken to the United States
Hotel, where they were furnished with the
best supper that Myrick could get up. They
were welcomed at the hotel by the Mayor,
and, after supper, at the call of the Mayor,
patriotic and complimentary speeches were
made by Nathan Webb Esq. and Rev. III.
Stebbins. The soldiers lodged at the hotel
last evening, and will leave for home this
morning.

Thirsting for White Blood.

The following items are clipped from the
Argus:
There are only about II 900 musket bearing
negroes all told, and there would have been
no need OF any if the white negroes had not
been so much opposed to doing il themselves
and have their black brothers do it for them
Ten thousand negroes in arms il is believed
will cover our whole available black army, and
of these, two-thirds have been conscripted
Such is the poor result of all this fuss about
negro soldiers, and which has probably cost
hundred times more than would have been
required to put as many white soldiers in the
field
All the credit to be gained at this late day
by denying the fighting qualities of the ne
groes, and ridiculing the employment Of their
services in the military operations ofhis coun-
try, the Argus will be able to condense into
very small compass. What we wish TO call
attention to Is the fact, that our amiable neigh
bors appetite is SO delicate that negro blood
will not satisfy him. Nothing but the blood
of white men will slake his thirst. He seems
to regret that the money spent TO raise negro
troops had not beenI used to stimulate white
enlistments, SO that those who fell in such
numbers at Port Hudson and other points
pierced with innumerable bullets, or torn IN
fragments by rebel shells, might have been
white men instead of the members of a desns-
ed race. Such are the delicate feelings ofour
copperhead neighbor. Why will not eleven
thousand white men volunteer TO take the
place OF the negroes, and so moisten the earth
only with blood from the veins of noble race I?
Who will volunteer? Not the copperhead
that may be set down for dead certainty.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June 6, 1856


10th Editor Of the Press:
The citizens of this quiet old city turned
out on the 4th inst. to see Dernier walk rope
a la BIondin from the steeple of the North
Church across the street. Having prepared
his dinner he invited the spectators to dine
with him on the rope.
Orders have been received at the Navy
Yard to build frigate of 5000 tons and tug
boat
Gov. Gilmore took a look around the fortifl-
cations in the harbor to see if anything tenn
porary could be done to.protect us from the
raids of the pirates. The result is that more
guns have been mounted on the Island, and
orders have been given not to let any craft
pass the fort after eleven o'clock p. M.
l doubt not that the officers of the Archer
received information to govern their move
ments in their recent raid in your harbor, via
this city, as learn that citizen left here to
see the "fun."
The fishermen late from the Bay of st. Law
renee report heavy firing and burning ship.
Shortly after these were observed, steam
Ell passed
A fine rain set in Sunday which was much
needed. The hay crop is not one half that
usually cut. ABEL.

sB-We give the people of Portland full
credit for their pluck, in the capture of the pi-
rates, But how was it about that awful scare
on Monday? 1t is intimated that there was
censorship over the telegraph that day, and
all the news did not come over the wires.
How is it, Mr. Press ?-New Bedford Mercu-
ry.
Why, Mercury! We told you all about it;
were you asleep? An armed vessel was re-
ported to the officer of the guard at Fort Preb-
lie, and he turned out the garrison and sent
word to town. The bells were rung, the town
aroused; the Mayor came down 10 the wharf,
and pronounced the alarm SELL" and so it
proved, for the armed vessel was a steamtug
that had been cruising among the islands with
perhaps twenty soldiers on board. There was
no censorship over the telegraph. Certainly
all these particulars were reported in the New
York papsrs.
