Lieut. Slemmer, late in command of Fort Pickens, had a handsome reception at Independence Hall, Philadelphia.
A military procession, consisting of Col. Small's Regiment of ten companies, preceded by a drum corps and a brass band, playing Hail Columbia, escorted the Lieutenant and his aged father-in-law from the Continental Hotel to the Hall, where Mayor Henry addressed him in behalf of the Councils and people of the city in happy terms, saying, among other things: It is for thatow-citizens for the restoration of that health which has been materially impaired by your arduous services, and with it to convey the assurance that they will regard with interest each new laurel that will adorn your future career.
To this Lieut. Slemmer replied: Mr. Mayor and Councils of Philadelphia, I thank you very heartily for your expression of esteem and approval.
When I stood almost alone, with a handful of men on Santa Rosa Island, it was the thought of just such sympathy as you hav

Colonel Brown's report.
Headquarters Department of Florida, Fort Pickens, Nov. 25, 1861.
General: That Fort Pickens has been beleagured by the rebels for the last nine months, and that it was daily threatened with the fate of Sumter, is a fact notorious to the whole world.
Since its occupancy by Lieut. Slemmer, the rebels have been surrounding it with batteries, and daily arming them with the heaviest and most efficient guns known to our service — guns stolen from the United States--until they considered this fort as virtually their own, its occupancy being only a question of time.

The account we hear is, that on the arrival of the cars at Scooba, a passenger on the train pointed out Jones, as boasting to him of being the person who provisioned Slemmer, and that he was then on the way to Washington, with despatches to Lincoln's Government.
He was arrested, the proofs of his treason found upon him, and he was executed upon the spot by the enraged citizens.--Mobile Advertiser.
