Br Col Baker, Provost Marshal
General of this State, has been at home
for few days on a visit to his family.
He looks as if he enjoyed excellent
health, and had but little doubt ola speedy
and successful termination of the war.
Few officers in the military service of
the country has won so enviable repu-
tation for integrity aud devotion to the
cause in which he is engaged as Col.
Baker, aud it is a matter of astonish-
ment, as well as regret, on the part of
his friends, that he has not been promo
ted His own modesty, a commodity not
very prevalent among army officers, is
no doubt one cause why his merits have
not been more favorabiy regarded by the
power that makes Generals.

DIDN'r LIKE "YAWL Bears. On
Sunday evening, two of Uncle Sans boys
who had been furnished transportation to
go to their regiments on board the fine
propeller Himrod, then loading for Bow
ling Green, went aboard that neat little
craft to prospect. One of them, who hail
ed from the Emerald Isle and who
had doubtless often seen canal boats, and
was cognizant of their want of celebrity
when propelled by the usual motor, at
once expressed his disgust at that mode
of returning to his regiment, and boldly
refused to trust his precious life and body
on such craft
"An be jabers," says he, "Td never git
to my regiment at all, at all, if l am to
be dragged up Green river" and despite
all the persuasions of his comrade, who
seemed to have better understanding of
the matter, and who, by the way, had i'm
bibed less of the potent juice of old King
Corn, Pat pushed ashore.
Asergeant of the Provost Guard order
ed him aboard, but he refused to 60, when
the guard took hold of him, and after a
severe struggle, in which the brave but
somewhat inehriated volunteer received
pretty rough handling, they succeeded in
getting him again aboard, and ultimately
getting his knspsack and blanket aboard
with him
But Pat still persisted in his protesta
tons against that method of travel, anc
declared he could never reach his regi
ment by "yawl boat"
"Now," says he, off there were horse
attached, or a sail, l would understand it
but to be dragged off this way on yaw
boat, is too savage and unchristian
Sitting quiet for moment, and evident
ly brooding over his wrongs, he woul
suddenly spring up, and smacking hi
fists together, would declare that he woul
not brook such an outrage, and if he bu
had comrade who would stand by hiI
he would throw himself into the dead
breach and hew his way to liberty ard
Christian mode of locomotion, by cleanin
out the entire boats crew and the Provo
guard He ultimately bethought himse
of his pipe and 'baccy, and as the smol
of the narcotic weed curled up around b
head, he became somewhat modified, al
was borne off in triumph by Capt b
rick at the rate of 5 or 6 miles an hor
protesting, however, to the last, again
being carried to his regiment by " va
boat

B1~ The city schools were opened
yesterday and the streets are again lined,
morning, noon and night, with vast
multitude of smiling and highly gratiied
juveniles.
We heard of one urchin, eight or nine
years old, who, complaining of his throat
in the morning, was told by his parents
that he had better stay at home.
mo" he replied, "school commences
to-day and am going if my throat has
to be cut"
1t is happy omen that the children
love their teachers and their schools.

Glorious Demonstration I'm Knox
ville-The Women out in Full Force
Gen. Burnside at Knoxville = He
awaits the Decision of the War De-
partment on his Resignation.
New York, Sept. 14-A special to the
Tribune from Cincinnati confirms the
ovadons by which the troops were receiv-
ed at Knoxville, ON its occupation by the
Federals. The town was decorated by
flags which had been hidden for years.
Gen. Burnside made an address to a
large crowd of citizens after the occupa-
ton The day after Fosters arrival, a
procession of women, whose husbands are
in the Union service, came in from the
country, and was nearly a mile long.
Valuable machine shops and foundries
were found in Knoxville also, 100000
lbs. of salt also, large quantity of
wheat, and many thousand bags
The prisoners captured at Cumberland
Gap were the End North Carolina, LIST
Virginia, lst Georgia, and several compa-
MES of artillery i
They surrendered Internationally. The
Georgia regiment, 500 strong, was cap
tnred once before by Burnside at Roam
oke Island.
Two companies while on scout burned
mill that had supplied the rebels with
meal, in sight of the rebel camp.
Burnside was to reach Knoxville on
the 10th, where he will remain until the
decision Of the War Department in re-
gard to his resignation is made.
There are small bodies of rebels near
the Virginia line. The saltpetre works
which the rebels worked, are now within
our lines.
Ready communication is had with
Rosecrans.
All of Burnside's troops marched over
$50 miles, and part of them 800 miles,
averaging 20 miles day During the
whole campaign they have had but one
casualty. Of sickness they have had so
little that the Surgeon at Knoxville asked
10 be relieved for want of work.

OVER SANGUISE.-W failed to get
our usual noon report on Saturday, and
were, by our sanguine hopes on Satur-
day night, betrayed into misapprehen-
sion of the dispatch giving the names of
certain officers captured on the walls of
Sumter
By a dispatch in the noon report of
Saturday we now learn that our Navy
made an assault on Sumter in boats, on
the night of the Sth, and were Fepulsed,
with the loss of a number killed, wounded,
and made prisoners. Among the latter,
were the officers mentioned in the dis
patch of Saturday night.
We regret the necessity for making the
correction.

The following is Lord Russell's reply
relative to the steam rams in the Mersey
FOREIGN OFFICE, Aug. Ii.
GENTLEMEN: l have received your let
ter calling attention to subject of very
great and pressing Importance, namely,
the fitting out or equipping two powerful
iron-plated steam rams, which, am in
formed are intended to commit hostili-
ties against the government and people
of the U. S.
My attention has long been directed to
these subjects. Both the Treasury and
home Departments have, at my request,
made most anxious inquiries on the sub
jects of these steam rams.
You are aware that by the foreign en-
hstment act ship is liable to be de-
tanned, end the owners are subject to
heavy penalty when a ship is armed or
equipped for purposes of war, and the
owners intend to use her against some
State or community in friendship with
Her Majesty
1t is necessary to prove both the equip
ment and intention. 1t is necessary for
conviction in public court in justice to
have the evidence of a credible witness
to furnish me with evidence to prove that
the steam rams in question we're intend
ed to carry on hostilities against the gov
eminent and people of the United States,
but you have made no proposal of the
sort, and only tell me that you are in
formed that so and so, and it is believed
that so and so.
You must be aware, however, that ac-
cording to British law, prosecution can
not be set on foot, on the ground of the
violation of the foreign enlistment act
without the affidavit of creditable wit
nesses, as in other cases of misdemcanor
and crime
Such, likewise, is the law in use.
Yours, &C., RUSSELL.
