By the way, l had something Of an ad-
venture week ago to day. Our team four
horse, with the teamser and boy who had
been at work here, and myself started for Al
exapdria about eight o'clock A. NJ. When
about six miles on our road, and in a thick
pine wood, three guegrillas spraDg from the
bushes upon US, each with revolver cooked.
and ordered us to halt, gaze up arms and sur.
render, which we proceeded to do, as we had
only one revolver among US, and could not
get at that as it was raining hard. Besides
they had their pistols within three feet of our
heads before We saw them,- cooked, with fin
ger on the trigger. They then ordered us to
drive by a cross.road into the woods, which
we did, about half mile-they guarding US
all the time. They searched our wagon, took
what they wanted from it, and destroyed the
rest. Among the things taken was box
containing my white shirts, silk vest pair
of boots, pair OF gloves, and a lot of other
things that didnot want here and which l.
was intending to send home by express. They
then searched the teamster and boy, but
found nothing worth taking. They then
searched me, thinking | was the suffer. as
had a pass as suffers clerk to and from
Washington. They took from me $50 in
money, which had done up in package to
send home, and $40, which was in my wallet,
belonging to the sutler; in fact they took
everything but my clothes, and talked of
taking my overcoat, but finally did not. itg
After this search they made us leave our
team and marched us about two miles in tho
woods, where they kept US till four o'clock
7. M. when thcy said we might 90 to the
team if we could find it, and 60 on. We
made tracks for the team, found it about dark
went on four miles to Union mans house
stayed all night, and reached Alexandria about
two o'clock 2. M. Saturday. | saved $ll0
Of the suffers money, by dropping it in the
wagon after they searched it, and before I
got out. After they searched me they lot me
get back into the wagon to spread out the
canvas, and while doing this picked up the
money, held it in my hand with my coat
sleeve pulled down over it, and while they
! we're taking US through the woods managed
to slip it inside my drawers. At night fonud
it inside my stocking. Love to mother.

seasonably retrenched."
1t is by the calm discussion of truth, that
the public is fed, and made ready to endure
any contest for the right. This very feeding
frightens the enemy from an attack, and so
safety grows up out of the faithful perform.
ance of duty.
We take one moro of Fuller's Good
Thoughts" as last touch of gliding to the
picture, hoping all will see that it is only by
feeding the public miudwith strong meat nor,
and so bracing it for true and faithful fight,
that the terror of conflict will pass by, that
the enemy at home and abroad will be cast
down, and from the ''nettle danger, be plucked

"a duel was to be fought by consent of
both kings, betwiXt an English and French
lord. John Courcy, Earl of Ulster, was
chosen champion for the English; man of
great stomach and strength, but lately much
weakened by long Imprisonment. Wherefore,
to prepare himself beforehand, the king al
lowed him what plenty and variety of meat
he was pleased to eat. But the monsieur (who
was to encounter him) hearing what great
quantity of victuals Courcy did daily devour
and thence collecting his unusual strength,
out Of fear, refused to fight with him."

later News from the Indian War.

CHICAGO, Aug. PA special dispatch
from St. Paul says that Dr. Hoyt has just re-
turned from the Idaho gold mines. He re-
ports that in battle between the passenger
steamers Shreveport and Robert Campbell and
the Indians, one hundred miles below fort
Union, on the Missouri riAer, twenty eight In
dams were killed and a number wounded, and
three whites were killed and two wounded.
The boats were on sand bar, they had two
howitzers, and were barricaded with bundles
of buffalo robes.
DIR. Hoyt reports that all the Indians on
this side Of the Rocky Mountains are hostile.
He thinks the expedition of Capt. Fiske will
fail A letter. from Sibley's expedition, dated
James river, July 2lst, says "A battle is ex-
pocted with the Indians within two days 1t
seems to be the design of the Indians to leave
the prairie and draw our forces into the hlly
country Of Missouri, and there give them bat
tie"

Shooting of Col, Corwin.

MEMPHIS, Aug. 1O.-During the session of
the court martial at Cornth to-day an alterca-
ton occurred between Col. Corwin of the 10th
Missouri cavalry, and Lieut.. Col. Bowen OF
the same regiment. Corwin is reported to
have struck Bowen, when the latter drew a
pistol, and shot the former in three places,
killing him instantly. There was great eX-
element among the troops, but no further
trouble is apprehended.
Gen. Dodge is quite sick.
CAIRO, Aug l2.-The 10th Massachusetts
regiment, Lieut.. Col Colby in command, ar
rived to-day from Port Hudson, on their way
to Boston. About sixty of their number are
sick, but nearly all are able to proceed on
their journey. Eighteen deaths occurred
during the passage.
Some Of these were buried at the mouth of
White river, some at Helena, and the re-
maindcr at Memphis. The North American
steamer arrived to-day from New Orleans.

LEUTzE AT HOME.-Leutze, the artist had
a grand welcome and reception at Dusseldorf,
on the 10th of June last, on his return from
America. About one hundred and fifty art
lists and lovers of art assembled at the ''Mahl-
HASTEN" just outside of the Hof.Garten
This is the clubhouse of the painters, and,
with its gardens, is their property.
Leutze was received with music and when
he came within reach Of the assembled com
pany, there was general rush to shake his
hands, kiss his checks and hug him. The old
fellows were much affected at the scene, and
were heartily glad to see their old companion
once more. The guest made short and
feeling address, whereupon all went into the
supper. Here, two of the artists had arrayed
themselves, one as negro, the other as an
Indian; and these brought in the first dishes,
and handed them to Leutze. Andreas Achcn-
bach sat at Leutze's right, and his old friend
Tryt at his left. After dinner the calumet of
peace was passed around there was speaking
and drinking of heallhs. with songs after
wards in the illuminated garden.
The occasion appears to have been very
pleasant and right merry one, and is said to
have been the happiest festival ever given by
the society of artists.
Leutze returns in October, with his family,
to this country.-N. T. Ere. POST

dispatch from Gen. Meade in Regard 10
the Capture OF Prisoners at Failing
Waters.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l2-The following dis"
patch has been received at headquarters -
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoroMAc,
Aug. ., 1863. -Major General Hatteck, cen
erat.ia- chief My attention has been called
to what purports to be an official dispatch of
Gen II. E. Lee, commanding the rebel army,
to Gen. S. Cooper, adjutant and inspector
general, denying the accuracy Of my tele-
gram to you of July 18th, announcing the re-
suit Of the cavalry affair at Failing Waters.
| have delayed taking any notice OF Lees
report until the return of Brig. Gen. kilpat-
rick, absent on leave, who commanded the
cavalry on the occasion referred to, and on
whose report from the field my telegram was
based. | now enclose the official report of
Brig. Gen. Fitzpatrick, made after his atten-
ton had been called to Lees report. You
will see that he reteratcs and confirms all that
my dispatch avowed, and proves most con-
clusively that Gen. Lee has been deceived by
his subordinates, or he would never, in the
face of the facts now alleged, have made the
assertion his report claims.
1t appears that | was in error in stating that
the body Of Gen. Pettgrew was left i'll our
hands, although | did not communicate that
fact until an officer from the field reported to
me ne had seen the body. 1t is now aScer-
tanned from the Richmond papers that Gen.
Pettigrew, though mortally wounded in the
affair, was taken to Winchester where he
subsequently died.
The three battle flags captured on this oc-
cason and sent to Washington, belonged to
the 40th, 47th, and 55th Virginia regiments of
infantry. Gen. Lee will surely acknowledge
these were not left in the hands OF straggers
asleep in barns. Respectfully yours,

RumOred Rising of SecessiOnists in
California.

RumOred Rising of SecessiOnists in
California.
SAN Francisco, Aug. lI.-The state is full
of rumors of contemplated rising of the
secessioniSts, consequently there is an uneasy
feeling in the public mind. On the 9th an
atiray occurred at Viralaia, small town in
Tulare county, between the secessiOnists and
the soldiers stationed there. One of the lat
ter was killed. Several of the former were
wounded. Thirty-siX shots were exchanged.
Tulare and the adjoining counties, in the
southern part of the state, contain numerous
seceSsionsts.
At Visalla great excitement prevailed.
Some Union citizens, who organized as a
home guard, pursued the parties who fired at
the soldiers. The house VI the man who shot
the soldier was burned down on the It'll, which
eXasperatcd both Unionists and secessionists,
each accusing the other of the deed Gen.
Wright, military commander at San Francis
co, telegraphed that all the spare arms among
the soldiers at Visalia be distributed among
the loyal citizens, and dispatched troops of
cavalry from Owens river to ViSalia. To-day
rumOrS are current of secession outbreaks in
Santa Clara and Salano counties, north and
south OF the bay, respectively. Both coun-
ties contain large secession elements.
The reports are discredited, but their ready
circulation creates alarm. Gen. Wright tele-
graphed some days since to Washington for
the government Immediately to begin the new
detences of San Francisco, costing about
100000, but has received 10 reply. Last
night sthe city supervisors voted the city's
guarantee OF repayment to any person who
would advance $4,000 to enable the general
instantly to commence proper Notifications.

Abstract Of GEN. Grants Report.

WASHINGTON, Aug l2.-The report of the
operations of the army of the Tennessee, from
the day that Maj. Gen. Grant assumed imme-
date command of the expedition against
Vicksburg to the surrender of that place. is
published in the official gazette. He says that
it is Il striking feature, so far as his observa-
ton goes, Of the present volunteer army of
the United States, that there is nothing which
men are called upon to do, mechanical or pro-
fesSional, thar accomplished adopts cannot be
found, for the duty required, in almost every
regiment He cannot close his report without
an expression OF thankfulness for his good
fortune in being placed in cooperation with
an officer of the navy. who accorded to every
move that seemed for the interest and success
OF our arms his hearty and energetic support.
Admiral Porter, he adds, and the very efficient
officers under him, have ever shown the
greatest readiness in their cooperation, no
matter what was to be done, or what risk to be
taken, either by their men or their vessels
Without this prompt and cordial support my
movements would have been much embarrass-
ed if not wholly defeated.
