urther use for them in the Convention; and Mr. Carlisle remarked that "he left Richmond a sad man." It is the intention of the War Department to muster companies enough in this District to yield a force approaching 3,000 men. The soldiers of the war of 1812 are about adopting a military organization, and offering their services for the defence of the seat of Government. Lieut. Gwathmey, of Virginia, was yesterday stricken from the roll of the navy. Lieuts. W. L. Bradford and Fitzgerald have resigned. The Massachusetts and Rhode Island troops, and the Seventh Regiment of New York, are expected here immediately. A special Government messenger has just arrived from Pensacola. There seems to be no doubt that U. S. troops have been landed from the U. S. sloop-of-war Brooklyn, at Fort Pickens. The War Department officially announces the establishment of a new military department called the "Department of Washington." It consists of the State of Maryland and

not remain long up, and was unsuccessful in his object.--The Minnesota and Wabash are both off Old Point. At the Rip-Raps persons on the Kahukee noticed something like a number of soldiers drilling. The famous Floyd gun they saw distinctly. We regret to report the death of two members of the North Carolina Regiment. They died at the hospital near the encampment. Our visit to this encampment on Sunday afternoon was somewhat more lengthy than before, and we must say, more agreeable. While here, the troop were drawn up in a square, and the Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald pronounced an impressive prayer. Such soldiers, we say, are invincible. We thank the gentlemen who tendered us their hospitalities; but owing to the lateness of the day, we were forced to decline. The two men, Pyle and his companion, were released from custody a day or two ago. We regret this, as it will be an incentive, we fear, to other rascality. Everything quiet, and no prospect of a fight. Luna.

ged to the Kansas City company, and were worked by them splendidly. The cavalry company had only their side-arms and pistols, and having no carbines or rifles could do nothing at long range. Several mines were laid in front of the entrenchments by our men. The attack on Thursday, the 12th, was led by General Rains in person, with a battery of nine pieces of artillery on the angle least prepared to resist assault. The enemy were repulsed with heavy loss. In the fight Companies I, Capt. Fitzgerald; K, Capt. John Quirk, and G, Capt. Phillips, did gallant service. As stated, the hospital had been located on the bank, below the new town, and contained about twenty-four patients. The attacking party did not spare or respect this building. They were met by the Montgomery Guard; Captain Gleeson, who made a brave resistance, but were driven back, with the loss of twenty-five of their men killed and wounded. Captain Gleeson was shot through the jaw and badly wounded. The gallant

I blame the Captain of my company (Fitzgerald) more than I do the Major. The Captain reported to the Major that I had been in two fights that day, and was always disorderly. I had but one trouble that day. It was with one of my comrades. He gave me some talk and I kicked him. This was after I had paid fifty cents for a canteen of whiskey at a brick house just above the Union House, in Rockville. The whiskey made me ugly. The Major ordered me to be tied to a wagon. After I found that I was tied, I know nothing more than getting m

Southern war matters. East Tennessee items. From the Knoxville Register, of the 30th ult., we take the following items: On Wednesday last, four prominent East Tennessee Lincolnites were arrested, viz: Messrs. Fitzgerald, Braner, and Mitchell, of Green, and William Mullenix, of Sullivan. Mr. Mullenix has heretofore taken a prominent part in the politics of that county; was, we believe, a delegate to the celebrated Tory Convention at this place and a candidate at the August electioising. Elbert Mitchell, of Greene, another one of the prisoners, has also taken a conspicuous part in the East Tennessee rebellion, and had but recently returned from the Lincoln camp of East Tennesseeans in Kentucky. The other two prisoners, Fitzgerald and Braner, have been laboring to the same great end, for the past few months, on a smaller scale. Andrew Knott, a well-known Justice of the Peace of our county, was arrested, by the military authorities of this post, on yesterday, charged

es, when intercourse between the two countries became more frequent the nuisance became so great that English gentleman became afraid to admit a Yankee into their houses. The travellers were composed in large part of that class known as correspondents of newspapers, and one great object of their passing prying, importunate enterprises, was to obtain materials for a letter.

The Prime Minister only insinuates a throat, but ostentatiously refuses, without being asked, to consent to such allocation in the neutrality laws as would render them effective, though the admits that, interpreted literally, they are wholly important. The tone of the speech of the Solicitor was equally combative, and a violent was made by Mr. Fitzgerald touching the capture, by Admiral Wilkes, of the British on a lawful , which the speaker regards as a affair. The London press, too, are fierce on the subject. The Shipping Gazette urges that, as a portion of the cargo was French property, the Emperor ought to unite with the English Government to "compel a respect for neutral rights."--The London Times states that the law officers of the crown bad declared the seizure illegal, and that the West India squadron would be ordered forthwit
