Washington Dispatches.

NEW YORK, September l3.-WashingtOn
specials state that Mrs. Leech, wife Of the
Superintendent of the Nedegar ITOuworks,
has arrived from Richmond.
The evacuation OF East Tennessee by
the confederate forces caused the greatest
surprise aud gloom At Richmond, as all
were anticipating q battle there, instead OF
the peaceful occupation by the Union
forces.
Troops from Lees army had been ar
irving quite freely. Their destination was
unknown.
There was a general belief that Charles
ton would be captured.
It is rumored that Secretary Chase, will
celebrate the capture of Charleston by
the resumtiOn of specie payment at the u.
S. Treasury. The receipts OF gold ara
said to be enormous, and it is believed II
specie payments were resumed Ihe demand
for gold would cease, while the actual
cost of the war would be reduced one mil
lion dollars per week.
The authority for this statement is not
very reliable.

anglo rebel rams sailed from England dur

official dispatches of quite rs late day as

state that all the rams whose departure

dent in the Department of General Banks
gives US, in private note, inIimations of
highly important move which has just
beet set on foot in that Department. Un-
til further advised, We do not feel at lib
erty to give any details. We shall publish
full particulars at the earlies moment that
il may seem prudent. We may at present
say that the movement is one which If sue
cessfnl will be productive Of results Of the
highest Importance.
The Worlds special Washington dispatch
of tn lIth says rumOrs have been current
to-day that Charleston has been burned,
but they cannot be traced to any reliable
source.
We have, however, authority fo- stating
that Gen Gilmore was determined If, when
ne got Iull possession o. AOEEIS ASiSuUS
General BeauTegard did not surrender he
would throw incendiary shells into the city
for the purpose of destroying it..
The Times special Washington dispatch
Of the llth, says deserters from the federal
armies had better take timely notice of
their coming disgrace, particularly that
frightful hosts of absentees from the ar
my Of the Potomac.
Their names will soon be published 10
the newspapers of the several States by
districts, and the character Of military
feIous of the worst grade will be fastened
on them inefaceably. The War Depart
ment is determined to spare no efforts to
return them to their field Of duty.

The Washita River expedition, consist

the Yankee flag until an explanation is
given of their firing on our truce boats.
We took the original flag of Fort Sem
ter which Major Anderson was compelled
to lower, and which Dahlgren had hoped
to replace.
A dispatch from Charleston 10th says:
There was no firing last night except from
our batteries.
The enemy is working hard on Morris

EB-AN ITEM FOR LITTLE GIRLS IN PAR
rrcuLAR.-Every little miss who will look
up the word "Housewife" in webster's
Dictionary will find the name and descrip-
ton of little article that, to the soldiers
in the field, is extremely acceptable. One
of the public schools in Pittsburgh sent
box of them to the Christian Commission,
and the youthful donors have been blessed
for the gift by as many soldiers as there
were housewives to give them. The
article is simply receptacle for buttons,
thread, pins, needles, tape, &c. Odds and
ends of the work-bag furnish the material,
though oiled muslin or other waterproof
stuffis better. The momentthe box reached
the field, ''do give me one sir" was the
word until the last one was gone. The
government would economist by issuing
them to the soldiers, that they might mend
their own clothes, but the school girls
must do it instead. If the girls of the
public and private schools would set at
once to work, they could earn the graft
tude of every soldier that their presents

marines under command Of Capt MeAley.
The entire force was commanded by Com
mauder Stevens OF the Monitor PatapscO.
The boats were tOWed within a short
distance Of the fort, whence they advanced.
Three boats, under command Of COmmau-
der Williams, Lieut. Reamy and Ensign
Porter, lahded and the parties attempted
to run up the ruins to the paraPet, They
were fired upon by musketFy and hand
gFenades thrown down upon them. The

reach the PaFaPet-
A signal was given from the tort and in
an instant ali the rebel batteries opened
on the fort aud shelled II terribly. The
three boats were smashed and all who
landed were killed or captured. Lieut.
Bradford of the marines was mOFtally
wounded and captured, Commander Will

Brewer, Lieut.. Bance, DR.. Wheeler and
Ensign Porter were also captured. 40 or
so sailors and marines were killed and

The remainder Of the command returned

captured officers and men were in Sumter

The HeraId's letter states it has beea dis

R@-K1LLED BY TRAIN OF CARs-SUs-
PIcloN OF Foul PLAY.-Yesterday morning
the body of man named Jacob Kelley,
was found on the track of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, near Detwiler's Touring
mills. The body, which had been run over
by the o'clock train was most terribly
maugled. 1t had been dragged along the
track the distance of hundred feet. Cuts
were discovered upon the body, which it
is thought must have been inflicted by
some sharp instrument and there was very
little blood near the spot where the body
was found. From these facts it is sup
posed by some that the maR was murdered.
He was seen, however, on the night preVi-
Gus, about IL o'clock, walking down the
track in an intoxicated condition. The
deceased was a pudler employed in the
Belmont Mills, and leaves wife and nine
children.
Coroner Day held an inquest upon the
body, and the verdict of the jury was that
the man was aceidently killed by the cars.
