ENoLANp AND THE CoNFsDERAcY.--O Our
readers may recollect recent item Of
English news, that that government had
.ent 4 commissioner with dispatches to
the Confederate government. From the
London Index, received by the Whining
ten Journal, it appears that the Ccmman.
der Of the Federal BIockading Squadron
eli Charleston peremptorily refused to
allow the commissioners to enter that port.
He returned to Bermuda, where the Brit
i,h Consul took his dispatches and for
warded them to Lord Lyons at Washing
ton. He formally requested permission to
forward them through the lines, which was
refused BY Seward. whe said cit would
not be agreeable t. the U. $. for England
to hold any intercourse whatever with the
Cenfederaies," Lyons meekly submitted
10 the insult as usual.

The Chicago Tribune gives the follow
ing additional particulars Of the ARRAY in
Cole comfy: 800 e
A little after three O'Clock r. NJ. while
Court was quietly in session, q man named
Nelson Wells suddenly fred on q soldier
in the court yard. As though this was q
preconcerted signal, the Oopperheads in
the Court House and yard opened gen.
eral fire on Union men and soldiers with
revolvers, making rush at the same time
to wagon where they had guns conceal
ed, and firing with these as fast as they
could gee them. ifgt
The few soldiers present being taken
entirely by surprise, fought manfully with
their pistols, and seen the dead and
wounded were scattered around the public
square, The soldiers and Union citizens
ran for guns as soon as possible, but as
they returned the rebels were in full re-
treat, the whole affair thus far having oc-
cupied but short time.
Col. Mitchell, of the 54th Illinois, was
without his revolver when it commenced.
While attempting to take pistol from
man he was shot by another man, the ball
striking his heavy gold watch and inflict-
ing slight wound. Another man put
pistol to his back and would Lave killed
him had it not snapped. Still another
man was just about firing fatal shot at
him when a soldier knocked him down
with brickbat. The Colonel was shot at
a'dozen times or more.
Maj. Shubal York, Surgeon of the 54th,
was shot dead while CALAMITY defending
himself.
Within an hour from the beginning of
the affair, Lieut.. Col Chapman, with q
portion of the 54th-a about $50 men AR
rived from Nation, % miles distant, and
squads were sent out after the retreating
Oopperheads. About thirty-ive of the
raiders were arrested during the evening
and following night, and are now here I'M

They cut the telegraph east OF Charles

Captain sawyer In Trenton.
From the Trenton IN. j., American.

From the Trenton IN. j. American.
Captain Sawyer, of the First New Jer-
sey Cavalry, who has been prisoner in
the Libby Prison for nine months, arrived
in this city on Monday Captain Sawyer
was taken prisoner in the cavalry combat
at Brandy Station in June lsst. This was
the closest cavalry fight of the war. To-
ward the conclusion Captain Sawyer re-
ceived two wounds from pistol bullets, one
of which passed through his thigh, and the
other striking bis right cheek, passed out
at the back of the neck, on the left side of
the spine. Notwithstanding his wounds,
he still kept the saddle until his horse was
shot, when the latter sprang up in the air
and fell dead, throwing his rider with such
force as to render him insensib]e. When
he recovered consciousness, Capt Sawyer
saw Lieut. Colonel Broderick lying near
and crawled up to him, but on examination
found that he was dead. A short distance
further on he saw Major Shellmire, while
all around were men of his own or other
companies, either killed or wounded.
While by the side Of Col. Broderick.
Capt. Sawyer was found BY two rebel col
diers, who took him prisoner, and after
washing the blood from his face with
water from neighboring ditch, conveyed
him to the rear. His wounds were pro-
nounced very dangerous, if not mortal.
but in few weeks he improved so much
that he was sent to Richmond and con-
fined in the Libby Prison. In that dismal
prison he remained until about week

A Just Tribute.

The Cincinnati Gazette, q radical paper,
pays the following merited compliment 10
Gen. BUELL., one of the ablsst, as well as
one of the worst abused men in the SER
vice:
If in our great armies the position of
Chief-of-Staff were to be made such as the
organization Of the army requires, the Sec
ond in rank and command to the General
in-Chief, with capacity to elaborate the
ideas of his chief into plans, and to order
all the movements to execute them, the
qualities to fill such position under the
Lieutenant General can be found in Gem
eral Buell.. His acknowledged military
ability, his talent for the organization, dis
cipline, care, supply and preservation of
an army, and his prudence and providence
would be an excellent support to General
Grants dashing enterprise. There is no
necessity that an officer of such admitted
military qualifications should remain un-
employed in the war.

lucky by Gen. Burnside.
The order having been read, it only re-
manned to decide who the lot should fall
upon, and Captain Turner asked the Union
officers to select person to draw the bal
lots as the name was called. After brief
silence Capt. Sawyer suggested Chaplain
in the United States army, who was pres
ent. This was acceded to and the draw
ing commenced. Nearly half the roll had
been called and neither of the fatal bal
lots had been drawn; but when the name
OF Captain Henry W. Sawyer was drawn.
the ballot drawn responded s' Execution. "
The two victims were separated from their
cormades. and ordered to prepare for
death. The Richmond papers, in their
published accounts of this scene, all agreed
in saying that Capt Sawyer met the trial
with unfaltering courage There was no
bravado, no affectation of recklessness.
but there was no faltering; only the
steady, calm courage OF brave man; to
use the Captains own words, (it we may
do SO without improperly, he was deter
mined that New Jersey should have no
cause to be ashamed of his conduct.
We should have stated above that
shortly after being sentenced, Capt. Saw
yer asked for a respite sufficient to permit
his wife to visit him. This procured
respite for fifteen days. During this time
the Richmond papers clamored for the ex-
ecution OF the two Union officers, with
spirit worthy the bloodiest barbarians. But
during the fifteen days the Government
had received information, and Gen. Lee,
son of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Captain
Wynder, son of the Richmond jailor,
were ordered into close confinement as
hostages for Sawyer and Flynn. This was
effectual, and it is hardly probable that
the rebel government, after that event,
ever really intended to carry their sentence
into effect. At all events, last week, Cap
tains Sawyer and Flynn were exchanged
for Lee and Winder, and both are now
safe.
Captain Sawyer, from long and close
confinement, and insufficient food (being
entirely without meat for the last forty
days OF his Imprisonment, is, of course,
somewhat weak, but he is in good spirits
and hopes to rejoin his regiment at an
early day.

CARRYING LETTERS BY Elk.

An Important and New Institution
by the American Express Co.

An Important and New Institution
by the American Express Co.
Fully alive to the wants of the times
and the great expansion in commercial
matters, the American Express Company
has just inaugurated new feature to its
already immense business. This consists
in the forwarding OF letters by express
an idea that will at oRce command atten-
ton and encouragement from the mercan-
tile community. The arrangements have
been entirely consummated, and will,
without doubt, secure liberal patronage.
The envelope used by the Company for
this purpose Is the regular Government
stamped envelope, with the prepaid
stamp ofthe Company affixed, stating that
it's carriage and delivery is prepaid to or
from their Offices in the States of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, WISCONSIN,
Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota.
This or similar system has been de-
sideratuns of inestimable Importance. AL
though the regular mail is generally safe,
still it is rather slow, and those having
important documents to transmit-bills of
lading, orders by mail, market reports and
the like-can now have them sent forward
by the most expeditions and safest route.
1t will prove of great benefit to transient
parties. Letters sent them by express
will be sure to reach them or if they
cannot be found, immediate notice will be
sent to the sender. This is one great adj
vantage over the mail system, as the let
tiers will not have to go through the un-
dertaker's hands at the dead letter Office.
This new arrangement in no respect
eonfists with either the laws or the reve
nue. of the Post Office Department; but,
while the postal laws are strictly conform
ed with, AMI the Government receive the .
same price for its stamped envelopes as it
would from individuals paying postage, it
at the same time actually saves the Gov
eminent the expense Of handling the trans
portation.
