Commodore wrEsLow's own words, IN re-
gard 10 the fight with Che Al1bdn1, will be
read with the deepest interest By ALL They
arc as follows:-
Gentlemen, in reference TO this fight with the
" alabama say t was important in itg cOnse-
Qucuces from the fact that Il tool place a. q
period ~ time when the depression OF feeling
" among Americans ia EurOpc-l mean Union
" Amercaus-was such as / had never scsu
before. II was a dark bOir Of the day for them
" and when the hght with the Aia5aD,n took place,
" when IL was discovered that uotNith -tanding
" the men that were sent from the ErceNsnt, not
withstandnR the published accounts that they
" were to whip rs in very short time, thA; they
" were 50 take us into CuernOurg, aud make a
" cCrsaiT OF the RcWSd'gr-i say, when II vas
" found thai, otwitbstandug all thi', sac hrT',
sH,gc had come or she vic or, no.hin{ couId
" exceed tho light that broke forth nppu All loyal
" Americans iu Europe. II Clc cIrui Oh way the
" cloud was removed, and the sun 5hune forth in
all i,s beauty and radiance upon tbom. l
" received the mos. con gra'ul tory letters from
" all quarters. There wore men - cOusulS,
iudoct-who sent me letters saying, God bless
| " youl II We could OUly embrace yOui IT We
could only kiss you! IL you could ouly know
| " what dcpre sod men we have bscu-hDW we
! have been oppressed and down tro idcn, and
| " realize how the weight has been removed, and
| " we can lift Our heads, you would know what a
" debt Of gratitude we owe 20 you
Commodore WINsLow concludes this racy
speech-in which, without being suporciiious
or inflated, he shows that he appreciates the
! pleasant fact Of having done his duty-with a
! glance at the results Of the fight between the
AIabamd and Rcorsdrge, and an outline Of
his troubles with Earl RUSSELL. As p spe-
cimon of the anecdotal style, take the fol-
lowing:-
When / entered the Thames ] sent to Mr..

" proceeded up the ThNmcs, and entered the
" docks, and went on working working making
" our repairs. But four days after, received note
" from MIR. ADAMS, saving that Earl RUSSELL
" had sent letter to him, complaining Of my
" going on and making repairs without parmis-
" sion. ! replied that permission was given In
" Her MJiesty's proclamation. Well, he did not
" exactly coincide with me In my views Of what
" considered TO be my rights, and the next day
he replied to me that he had received another
" letter from Earl RUSSELL, from which nc was
g obliged to say that he desired | should proceed
" TO sea with repairs or without repairs. Well |
q replied the next day that ! begged he would
give my compliments TO II ri RUSSELL and say
lha, did not intend any omission In point OF
etiquette but, inaSmurh as / hal made all my
" repairs, was now ont Of the dock and was
going to sea-"
The whole Of Commodore WNsLow's
speech is happy illustration of what he has
to say Of our experiences, and Of how he
saws IT,

LAaOR IN MARYLAND.

1t was to be expected, Of course, that the
emancipation of the slaves in Maryland would
at first create confusion amongst the agficul-
turul classes. The farmers there, however,
are taking proper view Of the matter and
are accommodating themselves to circum-
stances. The scale Of wages adopted by the
farmers of Prime, George county for ordinary
Geld service allows 10 irst-class negro men
one hundred aud twenty dollars per year,
with board; and TO second-class negro women
without children), aud boys under eighteen
years OF age, sixty dollars per year, with
beard. Similar measures are already being
taken il other parts Of the State. A further
encouragement to this new order Of things
arises nom the fact that some Of the old
planters who do not relish them, are anxious
to sell their lands, and so subject them to the
money-making genius OF Northern capitalists
In the lower countie, the soil is admirable for
stocl-raising or planting purposes, for the
cultivation Of vegetables and fruits Of every
variety. This fresh element Of labor being
developed, win take hold of the old resources
and evoke new wealth from them.

rule requiring correspondents with the army To
publish their full names rs signatures 70 thei
despatches, and which has been neglected ny -

upon, and those who omit doing so ia future need
not hope 10 remain here.

ppreyent them from moving about to attend to
their business duties.
Attention is called 10 the fact that several errors
occurred in despatch dated August q, descro

especially the subject of complaint-namely, that
'the I'd Division of the 9Th Corps BROKE, and that

BEAUFORT N. c., August 27.--My news is Of
interest 10 the shipping community and to in
suTance companies and the Navy Department.
but more especially the latter, for IL gives ntOr-
marion on subject of which for a long time
past il has been in ignorance-the whereabouts
OF that terrible leyia'han, the Tallahassee. AZ er
enjoying the luxury (for luxury it certainly is) Of
gong where II pleases, the playful monster has
concluded that can spend short time agreelby
az Wilmington.
On the night of the 25th Instant, at twenty
minutes past 10, Captain Phelon, commanding
the gunbOat Monticello, while cruising of New
Inlet, discovered u steamer standing for the shore
under full head of steam. He Immediately
ordered all men TO quarters, and when about five
hundred yards distant challenged her; but
elected no reply. A second challenge was met
by silence, and he directed that package of
9-inch grape should be presented 70 the mysteri-
GUS stranger. The arrival of the grape ut its
destination was ascertalned by peculiar sound,
caused by contact with resistance, and there Is
no reason TO doubt but that the side Of the boat
received Ii.
The stranger then replied by returning shell
OF large calihre, which passed between the fore
mast and mainmast Of the Monticello, exploding
on the other side, without infiicting any damage.
Captain Pheon now became more earnest, and
sent a 30-pounder shell, 10 which reply was
made in grape, striking almost under the stem of
the Monticello. The Monticello then opened with
9.inch and 3O-pounder she'll, short fuse but was
disappointed at receiving no shots In return and
then, for the first time, discovered that the
stranger had suddenly disappeared
During the engagement u Rebel battery OF
WhitWorth guns, stationed ON the shore at
point mile or so distant. kept up constant fire
directed against the M0RticeNo, but fortunately
doing no damage though frequently coming
very close.
The steamer apparently made OF from the
shore, In direction east-southeast, and Captain
Phelon followed the beach, in the hopes thar he
might again intercept her, The battery on the
shore still continued Its fire, but with no great
effect.
From the first moment of discovering the
strange craft the Monticello commenced 20 throw
rockets-signals understood by the rest Of the
feet, distant over eight miles from the scene OF
action and continued to keep them apprised OF
the condition of affairs. At about IL p. NJ. COM
muuesiod was established between Captain
