HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF THE Po-
ToMAc, July l3.-The numerous depredations
committed by citizens, or rebel soldiers in
disguise harbored and concealed by citizens,
along the Orange and Alexandria railroad,
within our lines, call for prompt and exem-
pary punishment. Under the instructions of
the government, therefore, every citizen
against whom there is sufficient evidence of
his having engaged in these practices, will be
arrested and confined for punishment, or put
beyond the lines. The people within ten
miles of the railroad are notified that they will
be held responsible for any injury done to the
road, trains, depots, or stations, by citizens,
gucrrillas, or persons in disguise, and, in case
OF such injury, they will be impressed as la
borers to repair all damages. If these mea-
sures should not stop such depredations, 1t
will become the unpleasant duty of the under
signed, in the execution of his instructions, to
direct that the entire inhabitants OF the dis
trict or country along the railroad to be put
across the lines and their property taken for
government use. GEO l.. MEADE,
Major-Gen. Commanding.
The depredatons having been continued, a
number OF citizens, suspected or known to be
implicated in these transactions, have been
promptly arrested.

threw Il great quantity of water high into the
air, which, falling on the deck washed over
board fifteen Of the crew. Among them was
Lieut. Gushing, the commander Of the Com
modore Barney. Two sailors were drowned.
All the rest were saved. Major-Gen. Foster
was on board the boat when the explosion
took place. The enemy then opened upon
them from the shore with l2-pounder field
piece. The Barney was penetrated by fifteen
shots, besides great number Of musket balls;
but not man was injured except the pay
master, who was slightly wounded by spln-
tiers. The gunboat Cohasset received five
l2-pound shots, one of which passed through
her pilot house and instantly killed her com
mander, Acting Master Cox, striking him in
the back.
The Commodore Barney was towed down
to Newport News by tug, and will be repair
ed the object of the reconnaissance was
accomplished, and the feet has returned.
The new army gunboat General Jessup, com.
manded by Lieut. Col. Whipple, also accom-
panied the expedition, and received several
shots, but was not much injured.

writing from New Orleans, says:-
ut would be hard to realize, were it not for
the large number of officers now in the city,
that New Orleans is in any other condition
than it was prior to the war, so quiet and or
derby has it become since the fall of Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson. The hundreds OF
closed stores, however, together with levee
entirely deserted, except by the pedestrian,
show how business is at an end, at least for
the present. The Opening of the Mississippi
has not yet made any change in the aspect of
the river front of the city. True, few boats
have arrived from up the river; but, instead
of being loaded with produce, they had moth
ing save crowd of passengers in the shape
of sick and wounded rebel soldiers from
Vicksburg, en- route to Mobile"

Return of the I2d Massachusetts, Reg
iment.

The three companies of Worcester county
men commanded by Capts. Ccggswell, Emer-
son, and acting Capt Harding, of the 42d,
came home yesterday afternoon, by the after
noon train from Boston. The mems counte-
nances showed the exposure of a nine months
campaign on the lower Mississippi; but their
conversation indicated undated courage, and
joy in having done a patriots duty.
Capt. Coggswell, of Leicester, we were
told, brought to New York every man OF his
company who left here with him, save one,
ank he died after leaving New Orleans. of
the other companies we had not the opportun-
ity to learn the facts.
The story of the 42d is worth hearing, and we
hope a brief statement of it will be prepared
by somebody conversant with all its details.
Food was provided at Mr.. Dyer's refresh
ment rooms by order of Mayor Line DIN, to
which ample justice was done. The rousing
cheers which this thoughtful hospitality called
out were well deserved
The regiment Lieut.. Col Steadman in
command, reached Boston about five o'clock
Monday morning. They left New York Sat

SoUTH CAROLINA UNIoNIsTs.-It has been
generally assumed that there were 10 Union
lists in South Carolina. Every man and wo-
man there, excepting the slaves, it was
thought, was desperately devoted to treason.
1t has not been so. How much loyal feeling
there is among the people of that state, from
which we do not hear, it is impossible to say;
butthere must be more than has been suppos-
ed, for two of the most prominentand respect
ed men in South Carolina,-Mr. Pettigru
and Ex-Gov. hikeu,-retained their 10y
atty and gave it open and bold expression
in their private intercourse with their
fellow citizens. OF the bold loyalty of
Mr.. Pettigru much was heard from the
time when the secessioniSts began their work.
Less has been known of Gov. Aiken's fidelity
to the Union; but it is now stated on reliable
authority that he has for some time been shut
ia in the Libby prison, on charge of treason
to the traitors confederacy. The circum-
stances of his case are not given. We know
not why he is imprisoned, while the holder

Mr.. WHTING's LETTER.-We call atten-
ton to the letter of the Hon. VIM. Whiting,
published on the first page of our paper)
to the "Union League of Philadelphia" upon
the present state of public affairs. The po-
sition of the writer, as solicitor to the war de-
partment, gives weight to his opinions, which
are clearly stated and admirably sustained

country, from Mr.. Writings standpoint,
which this letter so ably presents, can not
fail to interest all, whether friendly or other
wise to the gentleman's views.

until after ten days notice to the public OF
their discontinuanCe. Plates for treasury

bic one year after date, are being prepared

secretary to procure all the funds necessary to
the successful prosecution Of the war, if eco
nomically and vigorously conducted.

purpose of hearing and deciding upon petit
tons for exemption from the draft. Several
hundred persons were present, each waiting

bility. The principle has been officially de-
cided that man is liable for draft only at bis
