m were present, and whom the exalted Clefs contended were the source of all the trouble brought upon the country; but the presence of a large body of policemen commanded order, and the immense crowd slowly dispersed, elated at the success of the authorities in caging so many able bodied men. Rebel audacity Rebuked Under this head the Washington Chronicle says: No one can fail to read with pride the correspondence between the authorities of the rebel States and those of the United States on the subject of retaliation. Gen. Halleck rebukes the bombast of Jeff. Davis in a proper way, and in returning to his General his impertinent letter he performed an act which will thrill the American people. What we want is boldness. The people like an exhibition of manhood. Had our Government permitted the insolence of Mr. Davis to go unrebuked, we should have had him imposing upon the North the most insolent terms, and, under the pretence of retaliation and protecting Southern Se

The Federals are enrolling the citizens of Alexandria, Va. The "rebel" steamer Mercadeta was advertised to leave London on the 15th inst. Col. Turchin, charged with numerous barbarities in Northern Alabama, has been acquitted. The Washington Chronicle has the following: The scene Changed. General McClellan has abandoned Harrison's Landing, and is now on his march to Williamsburg. This has been the rumor for many days, and we see in the New York Times an elaborate and very circumstantial account of the evacuation, as far as it has taken place. What McClellan proposes to gain by this we do not know. It would be idle to speculate in the absence of the facts, and ignorant as we ar

Northern papers give the following account of the disbanding of the negro brigade raised at Port Royal, S. C., by Gen. Hunter: The negro brigade, organized by Gen. Hunter, has proved an unmitigated failure. Out of eight hundred contrabands on the muster roll, there were some five hundred who "skedaddled, " and many of the remainder felt so uneasy under military control and discipline that they watched for opportunities to escape. On Saturday afternoon last a rumor prevailed around Hilton Head that the famous negro brigade would be disbanded that afternoon.--The rumor of the disbandment proved correct, for General Hunter had dispatched an Adjutant and several officers to Ellicott's plantation, where the brigade was in camp. On the arrival of these officers their purpose soon spread through the camp, creating the wildest joy among the "soldiers." The fragmentary remnant of the brigade soon fell into line, and were officially disbanded. They were delighted, but not more so

When the sun rose they discovered a cavalry picket some fifty feet distant, but avoided discovery by stealing cautiously away. After many narrow escapes, recorded in full in their account, they succeeded, however, in reaching the shore at the point where the Mattaponi and Pamunkey rivers form the York. They unexpectedly came across some pickets here, whom they supposed rebels, but the Lieutenant who was in command of them recognizing Captain Oakley as an old friend, their tolls were brought to a close.--They were furnished with horses here and taken to Williamsburg, where they were treated with the utmost kindness by Col. Campbell, of the Fifth Pennsylvania. Next day they went to Jamestown Island, where they took boats for Gen. McClellan's headquarters. They gave him

The ex-soldiers rushed to and fro, and were soon busy in making preparations for their homes in Beaufort and other places. The discharged negro regiment was styled the "1st regiment South Carolina volunteers, " and, on being disbanded, were furnished with papers declaring them free forever, and also their wives and children. The vast number of contrabands brought from Edisto and Stono, together with those imported from Georgetown, has made some provision for their employment necessary. They are, accordingly, to be instructed in the fine arts, so far as they relate to the construction of tubs and baskets. Latest from Pope's army Culpeper Aug. 15 --Gen. Buford returned to camp yesterday, and from the best date obtainable it is thought that Jackson's rear line is about four miles back of the Rapidan, while his main point of defence is Gordonsville.

Buford returned to camp yesterday, and from the best date obtainable it is thought that Jackson's rear line is about four miles back of the Rapidan, while his main point of defence is Gordonsville. It is also reported that a large force of the enemy now occupy the line of the Central Railroad from Louisa to Charlottesville. From this it would appear that they have formed a new line of defence, and intend to fight a decisive battle at or near Gordonsville. Gen. Buford took many prisoners, some of whom came from their hiding places and voluntarily surrendered. They said they were tired of the war. Col. Donnelly died last night. All is believed to be quiet in front this morning. Scenes at the sailing of a Forkton steamer — Capturing Runaways. The Philadelphia Inquirer gives an

This has been the rumor for many days, and we see in the New York Times an elaborate and very circumstantial account of the evacuation, as far as it has taken place. What McClellan proposes to gain by this we do not know. It would be idle to speculate in the absence of the facts, and ignorant as we are of the immediate circumstances surrounding his retreat. By some it is thought he intends to join Burnside at Aquia Creek, and consolidate all our troops on the Rappahannock. Others anticipate a crossing of the James river and an advance upon Petersburg, while all admit that the war on the Peninsula is over. What will become of Norfolk it is impossible to say. Fortress Monroe becomes a garrisoned fort of minor importance, our gunboats will hold the rivers and the towns on their banks. We turn our eyes to other portions of the map, and find a new scene for our drama. Where will it be? General McClell
