Here all com- Prebend the importance of its suggestions, because all realize that the evils of which it complain Ahave existed In the army to its almost utter disor ganization. We are, however, happy to have it in our power tosay, that since the disastrous 2ist of last month, @ remarkable change for the better has been stead- ly aad rapidly progressing. The current condi- Son of the streets of the Federal metropolis prove the fact, not more significantly than the large umber of resignations of incompetent and inefi- lent regimental and company officers that are daily taking place. Roth the executive and mili. tary branches of the Government are thus already straining every nerve to correct the eviis which notoriously led, in great part, to the disaster of Bull Run, and to make a really-irresistible army out of the admirable material the country is offe:- ing for the defense of the Constitution and popu- Jar liberty. ee Nort So.—The Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser says: “Our brave soldiers who were wounded in de- fevding their conaiey and its capital have not re- cerved the slizhtest notice from the ladies of Washington. From a visit | pa‘d the different Bospitais yesterday, I am aole to say that our sick and wounded are doing exceedingly well. Frieuds at bome need bave no apprebension of unkind treatment.

The Consequence is, he loses the office — Gun. E C. Canzinoton, U.S. District Attor- Bey for this District, wes duly confirmed some days since.

Maxyianp Lacistatvas.—In the House yes- terday Mr. Wallis submitted a report from the ‘committe on Federal Relations accompanied bya ‘series of resolutions denouncing the course of the Federal Government in relation to the occupation ‘of Maryland and the arrest of the Police Commis- Stoners and others, which were adopted. -_—— WO The steamer Harriet Lane and the ‘Moop-of-war Richmond are now the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

OPERATIONS OF THE SQUADRON CLOSING SOUTH: PORTS. The Navy Department is in receipt of official advices from the Gulf squadrom. On the 4th of July, off Galveston, the U. 8. steamer South Car- olina captured six schooners; on the Sth two, and ran one ashore; on the 6th one; and on the 7th one; making in alleleven sail destroyed or cap- tured The names of the captured vessels are the Shark, Capt.

There were as Passengers on board, the lady, three children and wo servants of Adjutant General Holland, of Florida Mrs. H. claimed the secession flag to be private property, and secured it on her person.

Ist, 1861.—Editor Star: If you deem it your duty, as from what I have seen of your valuable ptper I believe you do, to expose public abuses and hold public servants to a strict acount, I venture to recommend to the attention of your local a cavalry company stationed on Delaware avenue, near tne Capitol, and occupy- ing the quarters recently occupied by Sherman’s battery. We have a right to expect of such troops and their officers, raw from the farm and workshop, that systematic discipline shail be established; that they shall be assiduous in drill; that they shall apply themselves diligently to acquire horsemanship, and their soldizrshtp on horseback, in order to render us our just equiva- Tent on the battle-field; that they shall work regu- larly, eat and sleep regularly; in short, do and perform with proper zeal and fidelity all those offices that sound patriotism, a decent conscience and martial policy demand of them. Now, sir, as a mere outside looker-on, but at the same time asa citizen deeply interested in the success of our arms, I invite your intelligent Local to go up to Capitol Hill, use his eyes and ears, ply his tongue, scrutinize this picture and then that, and pro- nounce whether or not it is Hyperion to a Satyr. Thatisall. Verbwm sat Fidelidus. Yours truly, E. P. Unum. IMPORTANT TO THE ARMY The Senate yesterday, on Mr. Wilson’s motion, so amended a willitary bill as to increase consider- ably the pay of the non-commissioned officers, musicians, and privates of the army, and of the n.vy and marine corps. Mr. Wilson proposed two dollars per month additional, but Mr. Colla- mer thought an increase of four dollars would be little enough at a time of general depression throughout the country, and the latter amouat wes agreed upon. The House of Representatives concurred in the amendment. ACCIDENT TO COL. coucH. We hear tha: Col. Couch, of the 7th Massachu- setts Regiment, (nominated for Brigadier Gen- eral.) has been badly injured. His horse fell with him and rolled on bim, bruising bim very badly. It is stated, however, that bis injuries are aot of @ serious nature THAT THIP TO MOUNT VERNON. To the Editor Evening Siar :—the statement which appeared in your paper of yesterdsy, bead. ed “A V sit to Mount Vernon,” is incorrect in some fF ulars. The facts are as follows: @ British passport duly countersigned by Secretary Seward and Lieut.Gen Winfield Scott, and being de-irous of visiting not only Mount Vernon, but Richmond and the Virginia springs, providing I could do so without deten- ton or molestation, | determined to investigate; and accordingly obtaining a Pass to proceed “outside of all pickets,” from General Runyon, drove quite alone to these of the Confederates, on the Fairfax road Not wishing to evade, but rather seeking to meet them at the nearest point, I drove quietly up to the outer Pickets, who were on horseback, when they, simply in performance of their duty, drew up alongside my carriage and wished to know the object of my visit Upon informing them, and inquiring for the of- ficer in command, | was shown to the Captain’. quarters, who expressed regret that he could not, under his instructions, grant me the necessary pass. I wrote a short note with Pencil, and he at once dispatched a courier in advance to Colone’ (now acting as General) Stuart, who furnished me with a pass without hesitation, including also in it, at my request, Lady Georgina Fane and Mrs. Clifford, who, | was aware, were very desirous of seeing Mount Vernon. 1 ‘was then escorted to the lines by a Lieutenant, without the slightest inconvenience. The outer Pickets on both sides seemed very anxious to know “how, far they were from the enemy,” to which ques- tions my replies were those of a neutral, of course. Returning to Washington, our party set out on ‘Thureday morning, (the Ist,) obtaining a renewal of pass from headq uarters—signed Davies—proceeded without the slightest inter- ruption to visit the former home and sacred tomb of America’s most illustrious dead. After being Politely shown through the house and grounds by Mr. Herbert, we retraced our how- ever, a ali; impediment by the way, in the shape of an u blockade of the roadway which we easily passed by making « short detour A PALSE ALARM, ETC. (Special correspondence of The Star.) Navat Barreey, (near Fort Elisworth,) Alex- andria Co., Va., August 6 —We had a lively half | hour here last night at about i1 o'clock. Most of us took it into our beads somehow or other that the disunion army wae advancing on Alexandria in three columns. The report originated with some straggling countryman, who, unintention- ally, deceived himself through movements of scouting parties of the enemy. We got ready, of course, to rece!ve the foe. and were fully prepared to perform a fine night's work upon him. But he foiled to appear. In an hour afterwards all was as quiet as usual in our intrenchments. THE REARREST OF J. R MINOR. [Special correspondence of the Star.) Forr Ruxyon, Alexandria county,Va., Aug. 6, 1861 —Everything is quietaround here. I hear it said—I know not on what authority, however— that on arresting Mr. J. R. Minor near this Point, yesterday, a pess from General Beauregard was found upon bim, as well as one from the military authority on your side of the Pot mac. DESERTERS ON TNE MARYLAND SIDE OF THE Po- ToMac. [Special correspondence of the Star j Fort Wasuinoton, Prince George’s co., Md., Auguat 5 —It is certainly true, that at least a hun- dred or so of the missing of our troops efter the battle of Bull Run are on the Maryland bank of the Potomac, between this place and Piney Point, working for the farmers and others at day’s wages They are, of course, deserters, aiming io work their way as quietly as possible beyond the reach of the army of the Potomac, whose officers wili take them if they can. WHY Not? Editor Star : +‘ Why should not Prince Napo- leon be permitted to behold a grand review of our brave army under the command of Major General McClellan, before he returns ?”’—Chron- tele “Yes—why not?""— National Republican Why not also improvise a battle, and slay a few hundreds of “our brave army,” just for the amusement of distinguished visitors? And should ary regiment object to be shown off in this style, let its ofic re be instantly court-martialed, agin the case of the gallant Sixty-ninth, of New York, on a similar occasion. If there is to be an exhibition of our volunteers, let all the crowued heads of Euro be invited! D.J.T. MUSTERED INTO SERVICE. The first company of Col. Tait’s regiment of District of Columbia three years or for the war volunteers, was duly mustered into the service at “the War Department this forenoon. WHAT COULD BE DONE Editor Star:—An observer of the battle at Manassas or Bull Run, on Sunday, the 2ist ult., and accomp2nying the brigade under Col. Wil- cox, I would suggest that an object may.be gained towards caring for the wounded by the appointment of a dozen or some suffictent num- ber of good and reliable men for the occasion for each regiment upon the eve of a battle, to assist in bearing from the field and in caring for the wounded In battle. One hand cot or stretcher might be provided for each two men, who might bear, one before and one behind, a wounded man from the field to either ambulance or, if near by, the hospital. These men, serviceable for the occasion, each Would save the time and service of as many trained soldiers, whose best efforts may be all needed, during the battle, with their arms in band. Again, hundreds of knapsacks, haversacks, blankets, etc, were strewn over the field of battle and lost. Why ‘not have sufficient num- ber of carts or wagons for exch regiment, the members of each company placing theirs in snug bundles, with name and number, in separate apertment together, in the vehicle, which need only to find, to follow the regiment after battle. Hospital shirts, or other effects for hospital use, may be conveyed in same wagon. Again, much suffering at the recent bloody battle was experienced by the soldiers, generally these engaged hardest in the fight, for want of water. In fact, water of any kind, especially suitable to drink, was nearly impossible to be bad during hours, and many of our soldiers were nearly famished for the want of a refreshing bev- erage of cool water. We would here suggest that a large cask, or nfore than one if needed, be Provided and made fast !n a cart—one horse per- haps—and filled with cool water, one man to each cart, each cask provided with a dozen or twenty cocks or fixtures, so that as many men can draw at a time in cup or canteen. These casks (the water in them) may be kept cool for hours, without ice, by enveloping them in blankets kept wet with water. These water carts may have particular marks or colors, and place, to be known by each regiment, and the drivers may besides keep watch of their respective rezimeni and meet them during any temporary respite of the battle No provisions, here suggested, were observ- able. As regards the wounded, water, and con- vevying surplus bagrage upon the field during the battle of the 2ist ult., if any suggestion shove may tend to meliorate any discomforts or hardsh! ps of the brave inen fighting their coun- try’s battles, the object of the writer will be amply realised.

Collins, of Va » Son of the celebrated Methodist preacher, Rev John A. Co!- ling, we bave the following narrative of his expe- riences In Secessia, and what he saw as well as suffered. Mr. Collins arrived at Memphis, Tenn , on the 26th day of March, and svon got into collision with Secesh, through the expression of his Union sentiments, which, on the 24th of April, was brought to a crisis bya little “scrimmage” he had at a dinner table with a South Carolinian, who denounced General Scott and ali Virginians as traitors to the South. Mr. Collins was promptly waited upon by a “vigilance committee,” and he was at once !mprisoned in a most noisome under- ground dungeon. From this foul cell he manayed to escape, by the help of some friends, and after some hard experiences finally reached a more hos- Pitable region. Amongst other instances of the atrocities com- mitted upon People simply for the avowal of Union sentiments, the following surpasses in devilish barbarity anything recorded of Haynau and bis band: An accomplished young woman, named Anna Giernstein, a native of Maine, who had been engaged in school teaching, near Memphis, was informed that she was an object of suspicion to the secessionists, and was advised to leave. On the 18th of May ehe left Memphis for Cairo. In the cars ghe found three northern men, named Tomlinson, Duffy and McGregor, also en route to Cairo, and said to them, “ Thank God, we shall soon be in a land where there is freedom of speech and thought!” The remark was Overheard bya fellow named Firman, who immediately de- manded to see her ticket and those of her fellow passengers above named. Finding they were all he at once caused their - the strokes being administered by a negro with a feet in length, each stroke of which cuts the flesh in stripes an inch in width.
