ARMAMENT SECURED AND STEAMER CAPTURED
From our Grab Extra Of yesterday evening.
The following important information has been
officially received here this afternoon The dis
patches are from Colonel Chandler, at Brashear
City:
"Our forces have recovered the armaments of
Che Diana aud the Queen Of The West, complete
snd in good order"
T armsmont Of the Queen of the West con
sisted Of four 24-pound howitzefs, and two
24pound riaed guns.
The armsment Of the Diana conisted of FIVE

feet long; two Dahlgrsa 80 pound smooth
bore, and one brass l2pound rifsd howilzsr;
one brass 12-pound howitzsr, smooth bore.
At the tima Of her capture by the rebels, the
Ptanters' BaHRer, of Franklin. published an

best gunboss the Yankees had in Berwick
bav"
BY dispatch from Col Chandler to Captain

Cotton Panic in lsnoon. Gssrsln.


Cotton caused terrible fright in the Macon,
Ga, market on Saturday week The specule-
tors bad been footbalhng it back ard forth till
they had kicked it up to forty cents pound ;
but Saturday morning telegrams were received
from Augusta to buy no more over a maximum
Of twenty cent?. The Mscon Telegraph seys {:
This left somewhat broad margin between
buyers and holders, and the result wss-nOthing
donei Dor was there any effort to accommodate
the difference. Nobody wanted to buy From an
object Of too fond and eager pursuit, cotton sud.
denly sunk into uDiverssl disisvor. The causes
OF the sudden change were numerous, but the
principal ones were, no doubt, FIRST The Con-
federate tsx on cotton end other products in
the hands Of speculative holders The tax is
ten per cent, or, say twenty dollars per bale
Another cause was the lailure Of the one acre
bill in the Legislature. The crop Of this year,
under the three acre Law now ia force, literally
construed as it viii be in practice, will largely
swell the volume Of this idle product now iying
useless and cumbersome in al the market towns
Of the State.
Thus it viii be seen that at tbst moment the
paper makers took fright at tho price Of cotton
a coneatenatien Of events has come to their re-
lief, and the old staple viii probably again sub
side into sober habits aud safer prices Indeed,
we shall not be surprised TO see It 20 very low
Planters viii be indsposed to hold it al st an
annual tax of I've per cent, and spectators
viii not ike it much better ct ten.

WAsHINGToN, April 13.--Yery brief official
dispatches of the Charleston naval attack have
been received, but are not furnished for pubca-

appears that the rain Of shot upon our guBbostg
from ths rebel batteries was most terrible, fhe
Keokuk and Nahant coming in for the heaviest
Of the battering The FIRE from MoultIie seemed
the most effective, that fort being mounted with
heavy riaed guns From the rebel .iteries
every species Of shot was used, and Sc Jshaped
like wedges, pointed with steel per ate1 the
casing Of the monitors far enough to stick but
did no serious injury. The experiment in this
combat bears against the big guns, or, as sn

A. about o'clock Monday nsrning the sig

sells started slowly. In consequence of q fog,
however, they were obliged to postpone the in

noon one of Gen. Ferry's brigades worked its
way Up Folly island, and established communi-

On the 7th at ass N the feet got an

FORT SCOTT, VA, March 30 1868.
DEAR SIR: As the time draws nigh for tho
annual elections in CObneciicuf, tbe excite
ment of the canvass reaches Us even here. We
look forward with anxiety TO the first Non
day of April, for much depends on the result Of
that days contest at the ballOt-box We were
yesterday thrown into great excitement by
the report that two hundred of cur regiment
wers to be sent home TO vote at the election
aud sn order did come " to pick out ubout
twenty coed and reliable Republicans out
Of eur company" Our officers told us that
the guarteTmas ter general of Connecticut
came to Washington sad he'd an interview with
Che head of the Wsr Department, Mr. Stanton
and stated to him Connecticut would be sure
to 90 for Seymour unless the soldiers could 90
home and vote !" And they made sn agreement
thAt as many as could be spared should 70 home
and vote Mr. Stanton asked how long It would
tsHe Tor The furlougbs to e. through the regular
ehanrelsi aud, being told it would take three
days, he ss1d
"Ssnd their names to me, and viii put them
through in three hours"
And the men were accordingly picked out
men that were ''sure TO vote for Buckingham
Nc matter if they had spent half their time In
the gusrdhOuse, if they were sure to ''vote
rig ht,' il was enough
But as you may well suppose, we who were
not of the same political way Of thinking did
not like f. We should not care if they would
let rs 90 toe, and vote for Seymour. But that
wss not according to tie programme So we
made some pretty loud talk, the consequences Of
which was, our commanding officer went to Mr.
Stanton and stated that he was afrsid he would
dein0ralizs the regiment, and hsd it stopped ss
far as this regiment is concerned but I believe
it was 70 extend to ell the Connecticut regiments
in this vicinity. So look out-for a great uflux
of soldiers on the first Moaday Of April
Yours truly, sENTIEEL.
The Times comments On this statement IS
follows:
The result of this large and grossly unfair and
dishonest depletion of the army is TO put a stop
to all movements against the enemy for at least
ten days. This keeps the army idle for that
time, and costs tie nation TWENTY MILLION DOL
LARS $3.50 900, ,000)

Ing the purpose Of their organization, the lead

great energy and PeTssveranee, until they have

True, it is plain and simple atill it is retreat

assured thai every day their enterprise is fll ng
its mission Of relieving the distressed and 80 Il

Who Are the Traitors I

Benjamin F. Butler, the hero of Big
Bethel and Lowel-the successful finan
cier in New Orleans, who pocketed over {
million of dollars by his official corruption
in that city-is engaged by the Curtin State
Committee to make speeches in favor of the
shoddy candidate. At recent meeting OF
Abolitionists, who denounce the Union as
it was and curse the Constitution as it is.
he asked the traitors assembled ''Do you
wish the Union restored as it was 2" To
which they answered vehemently, "No.'-
Aud then the distinguished Curtain orator
added "The Union as it was cannot be re-
stored, and it would be folly for me to say
that am in favor of the restoration of the
Union as it was !"
We ask the conservative voters of the
Commonwealth who desire to seea return
of peace and prosperity to our unhappy
country, and who believe that the Union
may yet be restored to bless them and their
children, to ponder well upon the treason
able utterances above quoted before they
place their votes in the ballot box.-PhIa

As THE skillful "prestidigitateur" draws
the attention of his audience away from
what he is doing by conversation and mys-
ferrous manoeuvres, so the radicals in pow
er, while stuffing their pockets with the
plumber of the people, keep their victims
eyes diverted from their actions by abuse
of "copperheads," appeals for the negro
denunciations of jeff. Davis, and laudations
of themselves and each other. Most of
them, no doubt, will have things all snug
and safe when the deception can be kept up
no longer, but the public welfare would be
promoted by the gibbeting of some of the
worst of them, and an enforced disgorge-
ment of ill-gotten gains.
