American Commerce.

A correspondence between sLip-own-
ers Of New York and Secretary Welles,
in reference to depredstions on American
commerce by rebel pirates, has been pub
lished. Such have been the Expectations
committed by these cruisers that not only
is two-thirds Of the carrying trade of
the country done in British bottoms but
American vessels have also changed
hands in consequence of the present
state of things. Of twenty-three sailing
vessels advertised in Boston last week,
for foreign Yoy ages, sixteen were des-
cribed IS foreign ships, and chiefly Brit
ish. In illustration of the same point
Crashow & Co.'s London freight circular
for November, after long list of Ameri-
can ships lately sold by that firm, gives
the lis. of American ships exclusively of
regular packets, in that port, numb aring
but fifteen against forty at the same
date last year. OF these fifteen eight
have discharged their eargoes, so that
their destination is known; and of these
eight four are sold, one is for sale, one is
in the Admiralty court one disengAged,
and one loading for New York.

SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. %, 1858
Hnn. n. G. Tailor. Of Eagt Tennessee

Hon. n. G. Tag lor, Of East Tennessee
made speech before the National Union
Association of Cincinnati, on the evening
Of the 24th inst. The Times says il
was enc Of the finest speeches ever de-
livered before that body. He depicted
the condition of the loyal people Of East
Tennessee, in glowing but truthful col
ors; recounting their heroic deeds and
terrible sacrifices for freedom and Union,
and proved conclusively-hadw we needed
proof-that Esst Tennessee is one Of the
most loyal portions of this country. His
description Of East Tennessee and her
people was admirable, and received the
most enthusiasts applause.
The object Of Mr.. Taylor's visit to
Cincinnati is the solicitation ofrelief for
suaering Union families in East Tennes-
see. The following is a copy of paper
he carried with him, signed by Parson
Brownlow and others. Another meeting
was 10 have been held Friday night, at
which Mr.. Baxter, Mr.. Temple, aud other
East Tennesseans were expected TO speak:
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 10, 1863
The bearer of this. the Hon. Nathaniel
O. Taylor, leaves Esst Tennessee on .
charitable mission. Since the outbreak
of this rebellion, the people of East
Tennessee have suffered untold persecu-
lions. Their men have been forced by
a merciless CONSUMPTION TO fee ther
homes or enter the rebel army, their
women have been robbed Of all that mide
home comfortable, and their children, in
many instances, left without sustenance,
except such IS The cold charity of
rebel neighbofs might supply. THIS was
so before the occupation of this country
by the United State troops. NoO how
ever, there are sections of our country
rendered absolutely destitute By the spo-
liAtions and Slunders of the enemy. Mr.. /
Taylor himself is a witness TO this fact.
A few weeks ago he lived in comparative
afliaenee with his family.
Now be is fugitive from his home,
having been compelled to leave his wife |
and children within the Rebel lines, to |
be robbed, as they have beer, by a ruth
less rebel soldiery. There are hundreds |
of Union families rendered destitute by |
the recent rebel raids into Upper and /
Lower East Tennessee, and il is not |
within the power of loyal East Tennes-
scans 10 relieve their nee ssitieI.
Dir. Taylor was formerly the Rrpre-
sentative Of the First District of Tennes-
see in the United States Congress-
position that he filed with distinction to
himFelf and honor to his constituents.
He is, and has been for years, minister
Of good standing in the ~. Il. Church.
ANY funds for the aid of the families
or people, aforesaid, that may be con
fidod to bis keeping, will be faithfully
appropriated. aAill a G

Iohn minor BOTS, Ls,ter

John Minor Bolts letter to the Rich
mond Examiner, under date of October
Is, has been received from the CORES
pendent Of the Associated Press with the
Army of the Potomac. Mr.. Bolts denies
the charge that he, in an interview with
an Indiana Major, proclaimed himself q
Union man without any ifs or butts. He
had no such interview, and used no such
language. He denied having said that
he wished the Federal generals knew
half that he knew of the rebels and their
resources and intentions. He is not in
the confidence Of the Government or the
commanders of its forces, and therefore
of their intentions he is as profoundly
ignorant as Of their resources.
In reply 70 The charge Of the Examiner,
that be abhoIred the Government but
loved its money, he says: Whatever l
may think of the Government, yet never
te.t myself entirely at liberty in this land
of freedom to say half as much against
its administration as have read in your
own editorial columns; but if | have
never made PR fessiOns of devotion 10 the
Government have NOT ceased TO feel .

pie of Virginia, with whose prosperity
aud freedom my own are identified and
viii take occasion TO say here, what !

All, tia. my earnest prayer is that this
revolution may result in whatever may
contribute most TO the permanent peace
ana happiness, prosperity and freedom
OF the>people Of Virginia, These ere the
blessings Of a good Government; this is
what suppose is desired and aimed at
by all, unless the selfish politicians and
The corrupt spectators in and out of the
army may constitute an exception. They
cate not what sort Of GOvernmentthev live
under provided they FL the high places
and have their pockets well lined.
We may differ possibly, and perhaps
honestly, as to the best means Of attain
ing these desirable ends. lit is by the
success Of the Revolution, then pray
1oe That The revolution may succeed,
Out II by a restoration Of the Union,
then l hope the Union may be restored.
Mhai want is Government that has

Of which the Confederate Government

Il was nov aundoKp. and this force

1t was now shutdown, and this force
all that remained q BrAgs's grand army
determined, if possible, 70 retrieve
their broken fortunes. While our troops
were resting on their laurels-and they
had need of rest-a column of the rebels
was seen slowly advancing, on a bat
terry of five guns, which Wanderers
brigade had just captured, and which
was nearest to them. The alarm was
given, and the cOlOrs of the 9th Ohio and
l0lst Indiana we're planted, and line
of battle formed. The assaiIants great
" Ontnumbered our forces; but the lat
ter, flushed with victory, were rot to be
made TO yield. As soon as the advanc.
ing columns came within range, they
were met by a deadly vOlIey, which
carried down hundreds of victims; the
lines faltered, wavered, broke, aud ran
in confusion; they rallied again, but
were second, and afterwards third time
driven back, when they abandoned the
enterprise as hopeless.
Tunnel Hill alone remained in their
possession; butt was SO clearly untena-
bic, that it was evacuated before ten
o'clock atnight and At midnight was &C :
cupied by our skirmishers. Il
This morning the pursuit begun, and
already hundreds of prisoners have been
sent to The rear. Expeditions have been
sent out to cut the railroad, between
Cleveland and Dalton, and have reli-
able information that it has been a sue
cess, and that all the bridges and cul-
verts on the road for Is or 20 miles have
been destroyed. B,sgg is retreating
southwark, and our forces are between
him and Longstreet. The latter must
retreat at once his only railroad con-
nectipn has been severed be cannot sub
sist his forces in Tennessee, aRd must
make the best Of his way out.
Bragg commenced the fight at Mission
airy Ridge, with 10000 men; he has lost
1000 killed and wounded, and including
all the battles at least Z, 900 prisoners, and
l believe these figures are greatly under
the mark but above all, he has been iso-
lated from Longstreet, and driven from
East Tennessee without q shadow Of hope
of regaining his old position.
Our loss in the three days battles will
be from 5000 to 1900 in killed and
wounded, and not more than 100 or 200
prisoners. 1t will be impossible for the
rebels to make a second stand, without
evacuatiDg Virginia, and concentrating
all their forces at a single point. But
that would be an act of desperation, and
must end dissstrOusly. ~

THE ADVANTAGES OF Publishing RIVER
AND STEAMBOAT NEws.-A few days since
the federal transport steamboat Duke.
whilst lying at Canton on the Cumber-
land river, was captured by 8 band OF
Confederate guerrillas, numbering some
300 or 400. The boat was loaded with
Government supplies for this place. The
guerrilias took off what they wanted and
then put the boat under bonds for $4,000
to be paid in gold on her arrival at Clarks-
vile. They made the boat cross them
over 10 the South side of the river, by
which change of location, they escaped
from the Federal troops who were in pur-
suit and came up a short time after they
had crossed.
The transport steamer Imperial was
fred into en- her way up, but no one was
hurt that we have heard of.
Whilst Gen. RoseCrans was commander
of tho Army of the Cumberland, he re-
quested the newspapers here to make no
mention of the arrival or departure Of
steamboats,. The policy was a good one.
1t ought 10 be kept up now and be ex-
tended also TO Louisville. The publica-
ton is Of no service to any one except the
guerrillas. Business men keep rested
by telegraph on these matters, and gen.
orally know more than newspapers do
about them.

The Government detectives yesterday
arrested Mrs Semmes, an aunt of Capt.
Semmes, of the Confederate navy, and
her daughter, charged with having at
tempted to poison Federal soldiers al
the Western Hospital 1t appears that
several bottles Of wine were recently
sent TO the hospital for the use of the
sick, which, on being administered,
caused alarming symptoms to appear in
the patients. The wine was examined and
found TO contain a quantity of arsenic.
Mrs. Semmes and daughter are believed
TO be the parties who sent the wine TO
the hospital, and were accordingly ar
rested, and are now confined in the mill
tary prison, awaiting an examination,
which it is expected will take place to-
day.
ARREST OF THE MOTHER OF GEN. wINDER
Mrs. Gertrude Winder, mother of Gen.
Winder, Provost Marshal of Richmond,
was arrested by the military authorities,
on Saturdayimorning last, at the board
ing house of Mrs. Hughes, No. AZ North
Charles street, Baltimore, She was ia
ken to the office of Colonel Fish, accom-
panied by her son, Charles II. Winder,
ESQ, who resides in Washington, and
who happened to be in the city on pro-
fessional business. After an examina-
ton Of her case, she was ent back to
her boarding house and placed under
military guard. She is said to be eighty
six years of age. One of the charges
against her is fer corresponding with va
rious persons in the South.

stack, charged with having been in the
Confederate army. he is druggist by
profession, and at one time resld IN
Memphis, Tenn, having removed to that
place in the fall OF 1899. He joined the
Southern army, and after some months
service was discharged, when he located
in Mobile. Bearing that his father had
died in Washington, leaving his sisters
in an unprotected condition, be came
through the lines. He was employed in
the Treasury Department during the adj
ministration of Mir. Buchanan. The
penalty against the above named parties,
if they return during the war, is that
they will be tried as spies.
