the Chambersburg sufferers. General Brayman has confiscated the Catholic Cathedral at Natchez. This act causes intense excitement among the old settlers.

derate officers were sent to Hilton Head on the Crescent City, to be placed under fire on Morris island, has been stated. A letter to the New York Times gives the following incident of the voyage: Immediately on landing, Captain H. Prentiss, in command of the guard, reported to General Foster his suspicions of an attempt on the part of William Baxter, the second mate of the vessel, to run her ashore at Cape Roman, with a view of allowing the prisoners to escape. The Crescent left Fort Delaware last Saturday under convoy of the naval supply steamer Admiral, and, when off Cape Roman, it is alleged the Crescent forsook her regular course and made a direct line for the shore. The mate was in charge of the steamer at the time — the captain having gone to his berth. When the Admiral saw the Crescent making inland she showed lights and sent up rockets, of which the mate took no notice, although he was informed that signals were being made. The Crescent ran aground at nearly l

rmidable opponents and to free himself from all opposition in future. Such a plot Lincoln has already discovered, or his emissaries have discovered it for him; and, with that plot in his hands, we hesitate not to say that, in our opinion, he will not hesitate to crush every man who stands between him and absolute power. We should not be surprised at any moment to hear that he had arrested every member of the Chicago Convention, and that McClellan himself was an inmate of Fort Warren of Fort Delaware. Many months ago the Mephistopheles, who is ever whispering at Lincoln's ear, asserted that he had never enjoyed his right, which was to rule over the whole Union, and not a fragment of it; and that this right of his would be asserted and pushed to the uttermost when other expedients failed. We have never doubted so for a moment. Taking it for granted, however, that the election is to decide the question, it must be admitted that McClellan is the most formidable candidate that the

A "Copperhead" paradise. --Idaho and Nevada are said by the Yankee papers to swarm with disaffected and disloyal men. It is estimated that ten thousand men of this class have goes there in the past year and a hait. The territories named are a perfect Copperhead paradise. F. H. Kending and James H. of Washington city, were sentenced, on the 5th instant, to imprisonment at hard labor in Fort Delaware for five years for and while Washington was threatened by the rebels. Guerrillas appear to be very active in Arkansas. Letters from White river say that on the 33d Joe Shelby's rebel forces attacked the Yankees near Duvall's Bluff, and captured nearly the whole of the Fifty-four Illinois regiment.

Prisoners who returned by the last flag-of-truce boat give the usual account of the sufferings of the Confederate soldiers confined at Fort Delaware, and of their intense anxietyFort Delaware, and of their intense anxiety for an immediate exchange. They have experienced enough of prison life at the North to make them regard another capture by the enemy as one of the greatest calamities of war. The whole number of prd a division has but one fire: We are gratified to learn that the sanitary condition of Fort Delaware has much improved since last year, and the daily average of deaths considerably diminished. n Jones R.

Occasionally Irish potatoes were also given to us. Compared with Fort Delaware, the only regular depot for prisoners at which I was confined, we fared finely. The two most interesting points at Fort McHenry were the "Interior" and the "Middle Rooms."The former were rooms within the fort, to which Confederates were try."He adjusted the cap, the drop fell, and the patriot Leopold was with his God. Fellow-soldiers, to whom this account may come, avenge his death, and label the victims whom you offer up, that your enemies may know the avenger's work. Fort Delaware is a regular depot for prisoners.--Here I was confined with six hundred brother officers; we were not allowed to communicate with the enlisted men of our armies. We were told that between eight and ten thousand Confederate soldiers were conf

Yankee Barbarism. Some of our lately-returned prisoners state that, last May, the Confederate prisoners at Point Lookout and Fort Delaware were vaccinated, by general order, and the vaccine matter turned out to be poisonous. Many of our men had their arms amputated, and a number died within a week after vaccination. Two of the men belonging to a Virginia regiment, who have lately returned as sick, are in a sad condition. The whole arm is inflamed and swollen, and the arm of one has lately broken out at the wrist in a terrible sore. There is a cankerous sore on the arm of the other, some four or five inches in diameter, and the flesh all around is perfectly black. The possibility is that both will lose their arms. This same fiendish act was perpetrated on our Camp Chase prisoners in Ohio some two years ago, when many of our men were inoculated with a disease too horrible to mention, and died a loathsome death or were rendered miserable for life. Is there no limit to Ya
