FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. y.
The expedition that left here on the 4th
inst, under the direction of Gen. Foster. was
accompanied by the turreted ron-clads Sagi-
more and the gunboats Commodore Barney
and Cohasset. They proceeded up the James
river, and when within seven miles of Fort
Darling, at a point called Dutch Gap, a tor
pedo was exploded under the bows of the
Commodore Barney by lock string connect
ed with the shore. The explosion was terrific.
1t lifted the gunboat's bows ten feet out of
water, and threw great quantity of water
high into the air, which falling on the deck
washed overheard fifteen of the crew, among
whom was Lieut.. Gushing, the commander OF
the vessel. Two sailors were drowned, all the
rest being saved. Gen. Foster was on board
the boat when the explosion took place. The
enemy then opened upon them from the shore
with 12-pounder field piece. The Commo-
dore Barney was penetrated by fifteen shots,
besides a great number of musket balls, but
not a man was injured, except the Paymaster.
who was slightly wounded by splinters. The
gunboat Cohasset received Ave 12-pounder
shots, one Of which passed through her pilot
house and instantly killed her commander,
Acting Master Cox, striking him in the back.
The Commodore Barney was towed down to
Newport News by a tug, and will be repaired

WAsHlNGToN, Aug. ~.
The board OF enrolment met to-day for the
purpose Of hearing decision upon petitions
for exemptions from the draft. Several hun
dred persons were present, each waiting for
his turn. Out Of forty-three examined four
were accepted by substitutes and only one in
person. The others were dismissed for vari-
Gus causes, including twenty-one for disability.
The principle has been officially decided that
a man is liable for dram only at his legal dom
icile or place of residence.
During his recent visit TO New York Secre-
tary Chase, on consultation with the capital
lists of that city, determined to continue the
sale of 5-20's until after ten days notice to the
public OF their discontinuance. Plates for
treasury notes bearing per cent. interest, and
payable one year after date, are being prepared
for use, should it be found expedient. No
doubt is now entertained of the ability of the
Secretary to procure all the funds necessary
to the successful prosecution of the war, if
economically and vigorously prosecuted.

Of Rev. DIR. Cheney, of Lewiston, the popular

The Prophecy by Rodelphus Howard Gil
more, of Leeds, was well received by the au-
dience, said to be the largest ever assembled
In DIR. Adams Church. We are told that he
was the only speaker Of the Glass Day that
succeeded In making all the audience hear. OF
course the Prophecy abounded in witty and
sharp hits, some of whiciSwere thought rather
severe and personal by the audience, but were
received with good nature by the class. Mr.
Gilmore is q halfbrother to Gen. Howard, one
of the most gallant officers in the service.
Thomas Martin Given, of Brunswick, gave
the Parting Address. in clear voice and with
much energy. 1t was finely written and had
the merit of being short. He paid fine
tribute to Dame, Weymouth and Greeley, who
have died since the class entered.
The exercises intended TO be performed in
the open air under the "Old Oak were in the
church, except the smoking of the spipe of
peace" and the Parting" owing to the show
er which came up. The aisles of the church,
and every nook and corner were packed with
human beings. As many were unable to sit,
and as consequently there was much moving
about, it was only those who had strong voices
that could he heard.
There was Thanksgiving meeting in the
evening Of which we gave fine report, fur
nished by correspondent, in our edition of

Letter of Gov. Seymour to President LIN

Letter of Gov. Seymour to President LIN
ALBANY, Aug. 8.
To the President of the United States:
l received your communication Of the It'll
inst. this day. While / recognize the conces-
sions you made, l regret your refusal to COM
ply with my request to have the draft in this
State suspended until it can be ascertained if
the enrollments are made in accordance with
the law of August or with the principles of
justice. know that our army needs recruits,
and for this and other reasons | regret de-
cision which stands in the way of a prompt
and cheerful movement to ill up the tLinnest
ranks of our regiments. New York has never
paused IN its efforts to send volunteers to the
assistance of our gallant soldiers in the field.
1t has not only met every call heretofore made
while every other Atlantic and the New Eng
land States, except Rhode Island, were delin-
quent, but it continued liberal bounties to
volunteers when all efforts were suspended in
other quarters. Active exertions are now
made to organize new and fill up old regi-
ments. These exertions would be more sue
cessful if the draft were suspended, and much
better men than reluctant conscripts would
join our armies. On the It'll inst. / advised
you by letter that would furnish the utmost
proof OF the injustice and fraud in the enroll
ment In certain districts. now send full
icPbihs iiduC " uiS W cuuSS EuNOSdtC wy
terbury. l am confident, when you read 10,
that you will agree with me that the honor of
the nation and of your administration demand
that the abuse it points out should be correct
ed and punished. 1 wish to call your atten-
ton to the tables on pages 5, 8, and 8, which
show that In the congressional districts in
Manhattan, Long and Staten Islands, the
number oil conscripts called for is only 80, 729,
while in nineteen other districts the number
of conscripts called for is only 1886. This
draft is to be made from tee first class, those
between the ages of twenty and thirty-five.
1t appears by the census Of 1850 that in the
first named congressional districts there we're
l64.I97 males between twenty and thrty-fve,
and they are called upon for 30, 729 conscripts.
In the other nineteen districts, with a popua-
ton between twenty and thirty-five of 27c,7S6
only 1896 are demanded. Again, to show
the partizan character of the enrolment, you
will find on the 21st page of the Military Re-
port that In the first nine Congressional dis
trcts the total vote of 1860 was Isl ,243. The
number of conscripts now demanded is 80, 729.
In the nineteen other districts the total vote
was 457,257. Yet these districts are called
upon to furnish only 39,626 drafted men. Each
of the nine districts gave majorities in favor
of one political party, and each of the nine
teen districts gave majorities in favor of the
other party. You cannot and will not fail to
right these gross wrongs. Yours, truly,
HoRATIo SEYMOUR.

Singular Disease In Franklin County.

PHILLIPS, Aug. 9th, 1868.
7othe Editor Of the Press
A few weeks since we had In this county a
raging epidemic. A certain class of people
were taken with swearing, threatening to kill,
and to burn buildings. They seemed to have
mania for firearms, powder, lead, percussion
caps, and bodkins. Old mill files were taken
to the blacksmith shops to be manufactured
into long knives. There were more of the
above articles purchased in few weeks than
had been for twelve months prior, but this did
no good; the fever ran higher every day, with
no hope Of its abating But relief came at
last. "U. s." sent to KingHeld company of
physicians who did the thing up brown with
out administering single dose of medicine.
The sight of the physicians was sufficient to
heal the trouble. 1t is said that one Dudley
and one Oliver had their guns loaded, but at
sight of two of these doctors took for the
woods like .frights. Everything is quiet and
harmony prevails. Our drafted men have all
gone down and been examined, and either go
themselves, furnish substitutes, or pay the
5000. All seem cheerful.

it contains "Ireland Revisited" Why has

top-sais and top-gallant-sais consequently
these sails are reefed upon deck. The yards

cVr Speaking of the recently developed
hatred Of the common Irish laborers for the
free negroes, and their pro-slavery tendencies,
the Chicago Tribune says: "There are now
in this city not less than 10000 pro-slavery
Irish. They hold nearly monopoly of sew
eral branches of labor, and are paid high wa
ges for their work. But il their anti-free-ne-
gro principles were carried out, and slavery
introduced into Chicago, more than 10000 of
this number would be thrown out of employ
ment and left to starve or emigrate to some
free State where Irish hatred OF free negroes
was not reduced to law, and the remaining
10000 would sink to the level of poor white
trash in the South, aud exc out a miserable
living on the crumbs that fell from the slave
holders table"
