their duty well, and will continue to do SO.

Capt. Rodgers, my chief of Staff, was killed, as
well as Paymaster Woodbury., who was standing

Capt. Rodgers had more than once asked on
this occasion if he should 60 with me as usual or
resume the command of his vessel, the Catskll,
and he repeated the query twice during the
morning, the last time on the deck of the Wee
hawken, while preparing to move into action. In

finally said" Well, will 60 in the Catskill, and

The Weehawken was lying about 1000 yards
from Wagner, and the Catskil, with my gallant
friend just inside of me, the fire of the fort COM

little, directed the Weehawken to be carried
closer, and the anchor was hardly weighed when |
noticed the Catskill was also under way, which
remarked to Capt. Calhoun.
1t occurred to me that Capt Rodgers detected
the movement of the Weehawken and was deter
mined to be closer to the enemy if possible. My
attention was called off Immediately to position
for the Weehawken, and soon after it was report

a signal flying that her captain was disabled. He
was killed instantly.
1t is but natural that should feel deeply the
loss thus sustained, for the close and confidential
relations which the duties Of the fleet captain ne

worth of Captain Rodgers. Brave, intelligent,
and highly capable, devoted to his duty, and to
the flag under which he passed his life, the coun-

After q steady and well-directed fire, Wagner
was silenced about $50 A. NJ, and that of our
iron vessels was slackened in consequence.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a. A gentleman who
to-day returned from the Army of the Potomac,
says the regiments are daily filling up with re-
cruits. The sanitary condition of tie troops is
good. Three privates from Rhode Island, who
had just arrived by their escort, were shot while
in the act of deserving. Eleven recruits yester-
day escaped from the cars on the road to w arren-
ton, and succeeded for time in making their
escape. Comparatively few manage to get
away beyond our military lines, as scouts are
out In all directions to intercept them. The
order of Gen. Meade, approving the sentence of
death in such cases, will, it is believed, check
further desertlons
The order of the War Department refuses
passes to females to visit the Army of the Poto-
mac.

rebels were on the lookout, and the cars were
filled with street rails, ready to fire on the ap-

A train was run over the bridge and the
bridge burned Seventy-fve locomotives and
400 cars were destroyed by the rebels. This
makes II locomotives and 600 cars captured or
