e ship for action. Now, sanding the decks to catch the blood yet unspilled was not a very assuring procedure, in view of the tremendous odds which confronted us. The Tennessee was a screw propeller, and went into commission with about one hundred men, a company of marines with the following officers: Franklin Buchanan, Admiral; James W. Johnston, Virginia, Captain; William L. Bradford, Alabama, Executive officer; Wharton and Benton, of Tennessee and Kentucky, First and Second Lieutenants; Perrin, of Louisiana, Master; Sinning, Chief Engineer; D. G. Raney, Marine Officer, of Florida; Conrad and Bowles, Surgeon and Assistant, of Virginia. Her battery consisted of ten-inch rifle Brooke guns, two fore and aft, three broadside, eight in all; her armor was six inches of iron over fourteen inches of solid timber, held together with two-inch iron bolts. She was constructed something after the order of the old Merrimac, but much stronger; her sharp iron prow would have been formidable

t the rushes of Pender's fresh troops, and after many fierce struggles the first corps with its batteries was driven back to Seminary Ridge. Here a last and determined stand was made, and the artillery of the Federals massed in great force. Colonel Perrin, commanding McGowan's brigade, reports that the charge up the hill, which drove the enemy to his last position at Seminary Hill, was made without firing a shot. Here, he says, he received the most destructive musketry fire to which he had ev, prudence led him to be content with what had been gained. No one can read these subsequent reports without a painful consciousness that there was a lamentable want of vigor on all sides, and an utter failure to apprehend the situation. When Perrin cleared Seminary Ridge, and as he says made it easy to drive the enemy down the opposing slope and across the open field west of Gettysburg, another approach to Cemetery Heights was open besides that from the town, which seems to have been overlo

he house, and he did so, in company with Lee.--Meanwhile, a daughter of England had gone out to alarm the neighbors, and Mr. John Burns entered the yard just as Brannon and Lee were leaving. He was seized and thrown to the ground, and, it is stated, (though no legal investigation of this part of the difficulty has taken place,) while Brannon held him down, Lee approached and stabbed Burns in the shoulder, inflicting a severe wound. A short time after the occurrences above narrated, officer Perrin met Lee and Brannon in the street, and heard Lee, who was intoxicated, remark that he had stabbed three men. Having gained some information of the facts, the officer went to England's house, saw a pool of blood in the yard, and found a large dirk knife. He then ascertained the whereabouts of Lee and Brannon and took them into custody. They were arraigned before the Mayor yesterday, but it having been stated that Burns would not be able to appear in Court for a few days, the investigati

ent to show that the accused were on a spree, and went to England's house, but with what intent does not appear. Mr. Burns, a neighbor, heard the screams of Miss Anna Myers, a daughter of Mrs. England, and went to see what was the matter; as he was entering the yard, he was attacked by Brannan, and while they were struggling together on the ground, Lee was seen to make a sweep at Burns, who afterwards ascertained that he had received a slight stab in the back, under the right shoulder. Officer Perrin afterwards met Brannan and Lee, both of whom were intoxicated, and heard Lee say that he had stabbed three men; that he had stabbed Bob England to the heart, and would have done more if he had not lost his knife. A knife was ubsequently found on England's premises, lying in a pool of blood. Several respectable persons gave Lee an excellent character; they had never known him to be engaged in any difficulty previous to this occurrence. The Mayor sent the parties on, to be examined befo

Recovery of stolen goods. --On Saturday night, about 2 o'clock, Watchmen Perrin and Branch discovered at Rocketts a cart containing a white man and negro, and deeming the time an unusual one for persons to be going on honest business, stepped up and accosted the occupants, both of whom sprang to the ground and made tracks. Perrin pursued the white man and Branch the negro. The latter was headed off, and the watchman was approaching to secure him, when he suddenly burled a stone with great violence at him, which, taking effect over the left eye, cut an awful looking gash from the nose to the end of the eyebrow, and prostrated the recipient of the salute. The negro then took to his heels and soon vanished in the darkness. Perrin, on hearing what had been done, give up his pursuit of the white man, and repaired to the assistance of his wounded comrade who was conveyed to the cage in the cart spoken of — A lot of groceries, consisting of four bags of coffee, two tubs of butte

Identity established. --A week or two since, at night, watchmen Branch and Perrin came across a negro and a white man, driving a horse and cart filled with groceries through the main street at Rocketts, at such an hour as gave rise to a suspicion in their minds that something wrong was on the tapis. On hailing the parties, the white man jumped from the cart and made his escape, after an unsuccessful pursuit by Perrin. The negro, on being confronted by Branch, knocked him down with a paviPerrin. The negro, on being confronted by Branch, knocked him down with a paving stone. Thus both parties escaped. The cart, on being examined, was found to contain several hundred dollars' worth of groceries, and a search revealed the fact that the goods were the proceeds of a burglary perpetrated on the promises of J. H. Beegleston, a merchant doing business on Dock street, between 19th and 20th streets. The articles were restored to their owner, and the horse and cart retained by the police, to await identification. Circumstances lately occurring have pointed unmis

A Negro Woman, named Maria Scott, was arrested yesterday evening, by officer Perrin, for breaking the arm of a child of Mrs. Rachel Otterheimer, of Rocketts, and afterwards attempting to throw it in the river. It had excited her ire in some way, and she would undoubtedly have carried her felonious intentions into execution had she not been prevented.
