cellorsville battle ground A large gang
of negroes was employed in getting out
timber for the construction Of bridges.
Reports in circulation among the rebels

to enable Lee to make rapid advance

ther such movement is still contemplated
by the enemy or not remains to be deter
mined, but it is generally believed in mil

the opportunity now afforded by the dsci-
mated condition Of our army to make q
desperate effort for the destruction of the

copper are also produced in great abund-

ing Of this mineral wealth is the difficulty
of transporting it to the seaboaEd, there
being neither railroads nor navigable riv-
ers in the country, and fhe only means Of
transportation being the backs Of mules.
The commercial inertness and the want
of mechanical enterprise of the people,
and the small exte 30 which the 5mbina-
tion and division OF labor are carried have
also contributes, with the general insecu-
Eity of properi9, to prevent the various
natural resources Of the country from re-

Captured Correspondence Of JEFF. Davis.
The following, with many other letters,
found among the private papers Of JEFF.
Davis, were placed in the hands Of the ed
itor of the Indianapolis Journal BY Cap-
tain G. W. Friedley
FROM PROF. HACKLET, oP COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
CoIUMBrA COLLEGE, N. Y, Dec. 26, 1850.
By Dear Sir@ My sympathies are en-
tirely with thee South. This declaration
will, trust Lead you to listen without
prejudice to q suggestion in favor Of one
mode of compromise to which 1 think the
Republicans would accede, and which
would secure in effect every thing which
the Southern States desire. Let the Ter
ritories remain free from slavery whilst
Territories This would satisfy literally
the dogma on which Mr. Lincolns election
was based. When the Territories become
States, let them then, or at any future
time, have the privilege Of introducing
slavery at their own election. Those re-
gions whose climate and productions re-
quired would inevitsbly become Slave
States, and afford abundant room for the
necessary expansion of your domestic in
stitution.
The objection to this is the intrigues which
AbOlitionists would practice when a Ter
ritory has to be admitted as State. But the
whole energy Of the South, backed by the
conservatism Of the North, would counter
act this. It would be troublesome and ex-
pensive, but not so much so as civil war.
These considerations may have already
been presented, but have not seen them.
Very sincerely yours,
CHARLES W. HACKLEY.

TIE BARoUE FAME RAISED AND BROUGHT
DOwK-A CHAPTER OF CAsUALTIEs.-The tug
Henry N. Martin, ofCleveland, Capt. 0'Niel,
arrived here yesterday morning with the
barqus Fame, which recently struck rock
and sunk at Eagle Harbor. On the way
down, when off Forty Mile Point, (forty
miles below Mackinac,) the Fame's foremast
was struck by lightning and the top shiyered
into fragments. Yesterday, a little above
Towss, the Mortin took hre forward of her
boilers, supposed to be from sparks from her
furnace. The flames made rapid progress,
and her destruction seemed inevitable, when
fortunately the propeller Adriatic, which
was attracted by the blaze, came alongside.
The Adristic succeeded in extiDguishing the
flames and then pumped her out and towed
her into TaWas, where she was sufficiently
repaired to enable her to proceed with the
Fame. The damages to the interior of the
Martin are considerable. She has left for
| Cleveland. The extent of damage to the
Fame is not yet ascertained. she will at
once go into dry dock.-Detroit Advertiser

The Next Congress strongly for the War.
The New York Herald, in a table which
is copied and exulted over by every Cop
perhesd sheet figures out a majority Of
six in the next House of Representatives
against the Administration but in order
to do this it classes all the nine members
from Kentucky Opposition, claims the
doubtful district in Missouri, allows the
/ Republicans only two instead Of three in
Vermont, and makes other anomalous ar
rangements Of its figures. 1t is forced to
acknowledge however, that on all ques-
tions relating to the war there viii be
found an overwhelming majority in favor
of vigorous prosecution for the suppress
sion of the rebellion and the re-establish-
ment of the Union" Not only will there
be an overwhelming majority in favor Of
a vigorous prosecution eff the war, but
that msjority will unite in the election of
a firm friend Of the Administration as
Speaker, and will be found working to-

HEADQUARTERS, Aug. II.
There are emphatic symptoms of move
ment in this army. Troops left Alexan-
dria for New York last evening. More
will doubtless follow, the time not having
arrived for any advance on Richmond.
The Army of Potomac will probably re-
tire to the points nearer Washington, to
defend that and the line Of the Potomac;
and after operations at the South have
been successful will renew its march on
the rebel capital in conjunction with the
troops approaching from other directions.

THE DISASTER ON LAKE HURoN.-The De-

morning, contains the following particulars
of the disaster to portion of the crew of the
steamer PIOughboy, alluded to in our edition
of Tuesday evening:
"a serious disaster took place during the
latter part of last week, at or near Current
River, Georgian Bay, which was attended
with the loss Of four lives, an account of
which was received in this city yesterday by
Thomas Parke, Esq, Of Maiden, owner of
the steamer Ploughboy. This steamer, it
appears, was on the passage from the Sault
to ColIingwood, aud, when in the locality
above named, her machinery broke down,
rendering her totally unmanageable. The
clerk, with three of the crew, was then dis
patched for the Sault in the small boat to
procure the services of tug, and while on the
way thither the boat swamped, and the
whole number were drowned. The clerk 4
name was Herbert Parke, nephew of the
owner Of the boat, and a young man highly
esteemed by all of his aequaintances. The
tug Michigan left yesterday Tor the purpose
of towing the PlOughboy to this port for re
| pairs.''
