b8THE FIRST ARMY Contestant
WEST VIRGINIA CONTRIBUTE TO ITS FoRMA-
TIoN.-We have been requested to call the
attention of the Board of Supervisors of
this county and the people of the State
generally, to the new General Order lately
issued from Provost Marshal Capt Hud-
sons Office, in this city, in relation to the
raising and organizing new volunteer army
corps. The corps is to consist OF not less
than twenty thousand Infantry, to be en-
listed for not less than one year. Thelor-
ganization commenced in the District of
Columbia, on the Ist of December, 1864,
and will continue until the fist of January,
the privates to consist of able bodied men
who have served hOnorably not less than
two years, and therefore not subject to
draft, the officers to be commissioned from
such as have honorably served not less than
two years.
Recruits will be furnished transportation
70 Washington and will be credited to the
district in which they or their families are
domiciled and will be paid special bounty
of three hundred dollars from the substitute
fund, upon being mustered into the serV-
ice. Each recruit who preserves his arms
to the end of his term may retain them as
his own upon being honorably discharged.
1t is thought that West Virginia can and
ought to furnish five hundred men to this
new corps by the proper sort of exertiOn,
and that this county. especiaIIy. NAV flrn-
ish a sufficient number of men to relieve
berselffrom the possibility ofanother draft.
The matter is at least worthy the attention
of the public, and we hope it may receive
the consideration which its Importance
seems to deserve.

Capture of the Salvador Pirates

NBW YORK, Dec. "a Panama letter of
the 10th, received to-day per North Star.
has the following important statement:
There was much excitement at Panama
produced by theifolloWing incidents: On
the 25th of October the American Consul
in Panama received q dispatch from the
American Consul Shufeldt, at Havana,
stating that the same steamer bringing the
dispatch, would also take to Aspiuwall Il
party of rebel pirates intending to siezo
the steamer Guatumala. The agent of the
company was notified of the plot and sent
the Guatamaia to sea before the pirates
got aboard, consequently they were obliged
to remain in Panama till the 10th OF No
yember, when the next steamer the Saliva
dor sailed. Further information Was OBJ
tanned and plan for the capture Of the
whole gang matured.
Whilst waiting the rebels purchased
800 pounds of powder, put it in tin cans
and shipped it on the same steamer they
intended capturing on the 10th. Pass
sengers embarked as usual, with their
baggage Immediately on going on
board they were taken into the main sa~
loon, ostensibly to have their tickets exs
anined. Previous to all this, the state
rooms and doors had been closed in orr
der that no opportunity could be pre-.
scented for skedaddling or for hiding-pla-
ces As soon as they were collected,
preconcerted signal was made when
Commander Davenport of the United
States Steamer Lancaster, sprang on
board with several full armed boats
crew, and announced to the astOnished
ed passengers he had taken pOsN
session of the steamer. Sufficient
evidence was at once discovered.
proving the reality of the plot
Over thirty marines accompanied the Lam
caster. Papers revealing the whole affair
with Instructions from the rebel Secretary
of the Navy (Mallory), small arms of all
kinds, handouts, &c, we're found in pos
session of the pirates, who were then
transferred to the Lancaster and Salvador,
and proceeded on her voyage. The Lam
caster retured to Panama with the prison
ers. Before reaching Panama the leader
of the pirates made full confession. The
names of the pirates sre T. E. Hogg, of
Baltimore, Capt. ]. D. Black, Paymaster,
R. B. Lyon, Sailing Master, James Hiddle,
Chief Engineer. 7. j. Grody, Assistant
Engineer, and Joseph Higgins, Paymas-
ter's Clerk. Hogg WAS captured IN the
Tristrsm Shandy, while running the block
sde of Wilmington. His instructions from
Mallory show he had rebel commission
and sailed from Wilmington to Havana,
where he made up his gang.
On the l4th Admiral Pearson command
ing the American squadron in the Pacific,
accompanied by Consul Mckee of Panama
and Consul Rice of Aspiuwall, waited on
the President of Granada, at Panama. to
ask permission to pass the prisoners ACROSS
the 1sthmus in order to send them to New
York.
The President refus ed permission on the
ground that he is not empowered TO do so,
but it is presumed they will be taken on
the responsibility of American officials

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The Richmond

of Millen, Ga, by Sherman's forces. Aillen

tensions that Sherman has freed the pris-
oners.

The Commercials Washington special
says the Richmond papers received to-day
admit that Sherman is making rapid pro-
gress towardthe sea coast, and that he had
crossed the only formidable barrier to his
advance, the Oconee river. They express
the most intense alarm for the safety of Sa-

to capture or destroy that city on his way
to the coast.
