INFLUX OF REBEL DEsERTERs
special to Tho Evening Telegraph.

WAsHNoToN, September l3.--Tne mail steamer
Daniel Webster, from City Point, reports the stu
alton at the front unchanged since Friday night.
In the fight on that day we captured ninety pri-
soners and killed a considerable number of the
enemy. Our loss was fifteen killed, wounded,
and missing including three officers.
We still hold the skirmish line captured that
night, and the enemy has shown no disposition to
make another contest for II.
Eight Rebel deserters from Hills corps came
up on the Daniel Webster. The recent order of
General Grant, offering protection to deserters
from the Rebel army, and promising to furnish
them with employment out Of the reach of the
Confederate authorities, has had an excellent
effect, and squads Of them come in daily.
The Rebel officers experience great difficulty in
keeping their men upon picket posts, for they
generally embrace that opportunity to desert.

1T is commonly said that Admiral Farragut
is the first commander on record who during
battle stationed himself at the masthead. This
is popular error, and it is but simple justice to
state that Il is claimed for General Mcclellan
that during the battle of Malvern Hill he occu-
pied a similar position ON one OF the gunboats on
the James river.
M. Gustave dllchthal has published in Paris
pamphlet on the Greek language, in which he
maintains by various ingenious reasons that the
Greek language would be admirably fitted for an
international universal language. In order to
attain this end, modern Greek, which differs but
little from the ancient, should be taught in
schools with its proper pronunciation, which
is very nearly the same as that which
prevailed in the classical times and
This, the author thinks, would be sufficient
TO place I'm the hands of the coming gene
ration in all civilized countries the nestirnable
treasure Of a universal language, calculated TO
meet every requirement of the human intellect

Professor Blacke, Of Glasgow, 10 do away with

INTERESTING FROM WASHINGTON.
Special TO The Evening Telegraph.

Spectai 10 The Evening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, September 10.
Secretary Seward.
Secretary Seward has returned TO Washington
from his visit to the North.
The Treasury.
There is official authority for contradicting the
report that Secretary Fessenden had decided to
place a temporary loan of $4,000 900 10 the
MAJ ket.
The New Loan.
A revision of the bids for the Loan Of 1881 shows
that the whole amount is taken at premium Of
four per cent. and upward. The large amount
bid was exceedingly gratifying, as the Treasury
Department had not dared to hope for an aggre-
gate Of more than forty-fye millions. The de-
livery of bonds began yesterday, and will be con-
cludcd in two days. Many large successful bid
ders are paying back interest from July iu coin,
so that their bonds may begin to draw interest
from that date.
Riding Old ThIrty.TwOs.
A number ofthe old 80. Founders are now being
rifed at the arsenal. These guns are not rein
forced, as was proposed some months since by
the Ordnance Bureau; and their endur-
anCe, even If they were, is considered doubt
full by skilled mechanics. Ii has been
long established that these guns are un-
serviceable without reinforcements, and the ques-
tion naturally arises, what office is responsible
for proposing and ordering this change It Is TO
be hoped that none of them will be mounted in
our forts, lest our soldiers should suffer more
fiom the bursting of them than from the enemy's
projectles.
what Does Mcclellan Mean?
Considerable curiosity is manifested here to
know what General Mcclellan means by the fol-
lowing sentence in his letter of acceptance -
"The Union is the one condition of peace--we
ask no more" Is it to be understood by this
that if the Rebels will agree to live with us
again in the Union, the people of the North
will surrender all the principles for which
they have been fighting for the past four years
that they will return to their masters all the
negroes emancipated during the war that they
will assume the Confederate war debt THAT
they will indemnify Rebels for losses occasioned
by the war that they will agree to JeG. Davis
proposition that the minority must rule l-or is
