THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: PRIDAY ............... September 20, 1861. Ovn Farixnps at the varions military camps and Positions will confer « favor by keeping us posted Qs to movements and affairs in their vicinities. Spirit of the Morning Press. The Intelligencer devotes its attention to the State of affairs in Kentucky, and expresses the belief that the people will not fail to ratify the Bction of the Legislature. The Repudlican in noticing the basis of North- ern commerce says. “‘ The destiny of New York, ‘whieh Is to surpess London, will be none the less surely accomplished if all the Gulf States were, Dy some convulsion of nature, submerged in the ocean.” ————-~- +e > ___ Sxirisn Ixtexrerenct.—The London Times says: « Government will waive all scruples when the of the country and the existence of millions are xt stake.” ‘Yes, when the British Government wished to monopolize trade ommerce, under the eon- venient plea that ‘‘the prosperity of the country ‘was at stake,’ they struck at Holland and ruined it commerce, as they bad that of Spain, and as ‘they subsequently did that of France. They, ‘Uader a similar plea, in a time of peace, attacked and destroyed tbe Danish fleet lying at Copen- bagen. Under the same plea, “waiving all scru- ples,” when in Spain, opposing Napoleon, their armies uniformly destroyed all the manufactories of thelr allies. When these States were British Colonies, under the same pies, certain manufac. tures were prohibited, end all greatly discour- aged But, if under this unscrupulous plea, or any other, the British ere sending troops to Canada, snd fleets to our cozsts, with the intent of di- viding our country into two or more govrrn- ments, for the selfish purpose of lessening our @ommerce and diminishing our manufactures, they may be assured the United States will stur- ily resist the aggression. There will be blows to receive as well as blows to give. We have 5,000 veasels which (strange as they may consider the statement) can be provided in 90 days with Cannon, and with authority to capture British ‘Vessels wherever found, and sent into all navi- gable waters where a British fieg floats, and in one year the English sre welcome to all the mer- ebant vessels they will have left. We have the ships, the men, the food, and can have the can- Rom, 88 we elready bave the nautical skill and Persenal enterprise and courage, to wipe out of existence that boasted commerce which Britain Dy fraud and force bas bullt up within 200 years, @ the expense of all other nations. And there is #6 nalton who would not be glad to see England Bumbled by such a blow at such an interest thus to 18, distastefully built up. England has in this Matter but one object—to lessen our commerce 4nd manufactures, to secure the tottering suprem- Sey of itsown. If weare tobe causelessly as- sailed and injured by ber fora Purpose so purely selfish, we must injure her to an equal degree, that our commerce and manufactures may hav, @8 equal start with hers, when the peace she wantofily breaks shall have been re-established. We must do It, and can easily do it; assuredly, in such 2 selfish waf, where calculation super- vedes passion, we can Inji‘te her commerce more than she can ours. Ample appropriations for ord- mance were made by Congress, and the President has already commenced arming the seaports. If England is anxious for a third trial of strength ‘with us, merely to make money out of the disas- ters she hopes to cause, the United States will Secommodats her without uttering a single dep- Teeation.

Headquarters, Army of the Potomac, H Washington, Sept. 16, 1861. General Orders, No. 13. 1. All persons not connected with the outpcst and picket guards, except General Officers, Com- manders of Brigades, and efficers of their Staffs, are prohibited from pussing beyond the main guards on the Virginia side of the Potomac. Commanders will define the lines and instruct their guards accordingly. Il. The practice, which has to seme extend prevailed, of firing upon the enemy’s pickets, is contrary to the usages of civilized warfare and does not contribute to any good result. It is therefore directed that, in future, the picket and outpost guards are not to fire upon the enemy’s pickets, unless it becomes necersary to resist their advance or to return a fire commenced by them. Allcom- manding officers and guards are required to en- force this order, and to arrest every person violat- ing It. By command of Major General McClellan: S. Wittiams, Ass’t Adj’t Gen’l. Official:—Ricu’p B. Inwin, Alde-de-Camp. TRYING THE RANGE. While Gen. McClellan was present yesterday afternoon, after reviewing the brigade of General Blenker, an experiment was made with the rifled guns recently mounted on Fort Taylor—a new fortification, situated about 2% miles from Chest- nut Hill (Murray Mason’s place), where the dis- unionists have.constructed their most advanced work. It was found that solid shot or shell may easily be thrown from Fort Taylor well beyond the disunion fort! While our troops were thus firing. a body of about 200 disunionists deployed from under cover to the right; when a single shot thrown among them sent them scattering in dif- ferent directions. A SKIRMISH WITH HARDER’s TROOPS. This morning the following dispatch reached the headquarters here: Headquarters Western Department, St. Lovis, Sept 19, 1861 To Col. E. D Townsen: Major Gavitt, First Indiana Regiment of Cavalry, who was sent out in reconnoisance towards Hardee’s position at Greenville, met the enemy’s pickets, drove them in, killing two, and taking three of the enemy prisoners. He also captured sixty muskets and twenty-five horses. J.C. Fremont, Major General Commanding. ‘THE CABINET MEETING OF YESTERDAY. We have every reason to believe that in yester- day’s long cabinet meeting the subject matter considered was the report of Postmaster General Blair and Quartermaster General Meigs, relative to the situation in Missouri, and that no definite conclusion was then arrived at as to the duty of changing the head of the Western Military De- partment. DISTRICT MILITIA. Lieut. Colonel John L Smith, of the Fourth Regiment District Columbia Militia, bas been promoted to the Colonelcy of the same, in place of Mr. Randolph Coyle, resigned. Chas. R. Bishop has been appeinted Lieutenant Colonel of the same, tn place of Lieut. Colonel John L. Smith, Promoted. VOLUNTEERING FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS. The Government have accepted the services of ® company of loyal Americans resident in the Sandwich Islands, who are Probably now on the way to San Francisco, to join the extreme west- ern division of the army of the United States. THE NEWS FROM LEXINGTON. The despatch from Gen. Fremont, received by the War Department last night, concerning the then progreming siege of our troops in Lexington, Mo., embraced no information whatever in ad- dition to that contained tn our despatch by the Awmociated Press published in yesterday after- noon’s Star. APFAIRS ALONG THE LINES. [Speciat correspondence of the Star.J Laxoey, Fairfax county, Va., Sept. 19, 1861.— Editor Star: Our boys last night played a trick upon the rebels, which has caused no little con- sternation at its boldness, and any amount of swearing, on the part of the thieving seccasionists. Several of the Union men owning farms above here, in the vicinity of Lewinsville, had been compelled to remain in Washington for safety— leaving all their property to the mercy of the Con- federates, who removed everything that could be of any use to them in thelrcamps. Household furniture, grain, hey, wegons, &c., had been seized and carried off, and this week they com. menced to collect the cattle of the neighborhood (among which were many valuable milch cows) and herd them on the farm of the late Commo. Gore T. Ap Catesby Jones,whose family are rus- ticatfeg ot Manassas, with the exception of a loyal son (Patterson) in the U.S. Navy, and ore daughter who looks after affairs on the place. Our boys kept watch until about fifty had been collected. and last night proceeded up to the farm, where they took the cattle and drove them Inside of our lines, so that their owners can now obtain their property, witbeut a perilous journey into Dixie for it. The consternation of the rebels may be imagined, when they came to the Jones farm this morning for their cattle ; and their chagrin at having been outwitted and stripped of their booty, after all their trouble to collect it, was refreshing to those who from a safe point witnessed their crestfallen departure. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE OF THE STAR. Horen Viotgt, Paris, Sept. 2, 1861.—W. D. Wallach, Esq.:—Dear Sir: It may be interesting for you to know that the traitors to our country find ways and means to communicate with their friends and representatives in Europe, by sending with almost every steamer a special messenger, whe carries a* mail composed of secession docu- ments and letters. We bad one of this kind on board the Fulton, on ber outward passage. He was a Frenchman, by the name of Addisson. He came direct from Richmond, by way of Nash- ville, and had in bis possession a great many let- ters, and one hundred copies of the battle of Bull Run—oficial account of General Gonzales, pub- lished ta Charleston, South Carolina. He was to have the same republished in France, at his arri- val, for distribution. The whole of the official account wasa great misrepresentation, which Is, of course, quite natural. The passengers of the Fulton were mostly foreigners, and did not take much interest in the affair, which made me powerless to act In the matter. Gur Government should be on the look-out for these secession mes- sengers. Captain Woodon, of the Fulton, gave a grand Union dinner a few days before our arrival in Havre, to the great annoyance of several secession- ists from Baltimore, who did not show their ugly faces AFFAIRS AT ALEXANDRIA. (Special correspondence of the Star.) AvExanpRia, Va., Sept. 18, 1861. — Edstor Washington Star: One of the events of the week in this usually quiet city has been the serenading of Gen. Montgomery by the band of the Fifth Maine Regiment, stationed near Fort Ellsworth. They arrived very quietly before the headquarters of the General, and struck up ‘‘The Star Spangled Banner,” thereby delighting numerous citizens, who burried to the scene at the unwonted strains. Gen. Montgomery soon appeared, and his appear- ance was the signal for cheers loud and hearty- After performing several patriotic airs, they were received by the General in his quarters, where refreshments were served, and the officers pre- sented to him by Col. R. Freese, his Assistant Adjutant General. You are aware, | presume, of the formation of an “ Unconditional Cajon Association” here, the members of which are prominent citizens of this city and its vicinity. The last meeting of this body took place last Thursday uight, at the Ly- ceum Hall. The large building was crowded on this oceaston, scores being unable to find seats, but stood cortent if only they could hear the speakers. Gen. Montgomery, Col. J. R. Freese, Atsistant Adjutant General and Provost Judge of the city, attended; and the proceedings were further graced by the presence of a large number wf ladies of high respectability. Some of the be st speeches I remember to have heard for some tim* were delivered by Gen. Montgomery and Col. Freese, who each received » boquet from ladies present. Rev. Dr. J.C. Carver also de. lvered an excellent and very touching address, and at jus conclusion was loudly applauded. The meeting was brought toa termination by a few pertinent remarks from Mr. Wm. Massey, of this city. The members of this association have every reason to be satisfied with the success they have met with. Their first meeting was attended by only a dozen or so, and since then they have been been constantly receiving fresh accessions. Col. Freese, in his capacity of Provost Judge, has sworn in overtwo hundred members, and over thirty were sworn in by him last meeling. This cannot but be very gratifying to all lovers of tne Union. I have just beard of a shocking case of at- tempted murder, committed by one Young, a cit- izen, on the person of a Mr. Vandergrift. It ap- pears that they went out alone on Monday after- noon forthe purpose of playing cards. Young lost to the amount of twoor three hundred dollars, and the public presumption is that, exasperated at the loss, he attempted to murder the unfortunate man, and thus gain possession of the whole. He shot Vandergrift in the breast—apparently with- out any provocction—the ball glancing down- ward,and lodging in the abdomen. He then commenced beating him on the head with a large club until be had produced insensibility, and the head was pounded almost toa jelly. He still lives, but lies in a very precarious state, and can- not be expected to survive. Young is in custody, bail belng of course refused. On his person was found between three and four hundred dollars in gold. Last night, Judge Freese, when searching a house near Fort Ellsworth for money supposed to have been secreted by Young, accidentally dis- covered twenty six stand of arms, all new, and of the Harper’s Ferry rifle pattern. Not deeming them safe where they were he took the liberty to bring them beck with him, and they are now in our safe custody. ~ > Skirmishing goes on as usual along our lines, but nothing of any importance. The marines at Fort Ellsworth last night ared several rounds for practice, and thereby occa- sioned some alarm to timid citizens. Weare all eager for an engagement, and next time design giving them a very different version of Bull Run. Q. oo 3+ Tus New OrLeans Battering Ram.—The Cincinnati Enquirer bas been furnished with a description of the New Orleans battering ram :3 The steamer ‘nthe leavth of an ordinary steam- boat. the roef beiny arched fn shape, covered with railroad iron, 80 as to prevent hells from penetra- ting, and the balls in striking wil immediately glance off without having any effect, let the Posi. tion of the cua fired be what it may. At the bow of the boat is a ponderous cutter, made of the best steel, the object of which is to cut a vessel in two. This will require a very great power which the projectors think they have obtained in the way of two powerful engines. The mode of at- tack is with hot water, which Is thrown through hose attached to the boilers. The vessel attacked can not keep her men on deck, nor can‘she use her cannon, as they will be kept wet by the water thrown. Besides being covered with heavy iron, the boat is built of the heavies and best timber. ea eee UntimgLy Exp oF an Epitor.—The corres- ndentof the Columbus (Ga.)

Some claims have paid as high as from $200 to $500 per day, and many that at present yield from 9500 to $1,000. The news from the country is far more exciting than any that has yet been received bere, and new discoveries are being made here every day. The imports into Vancouver's Land, for the last six months, up to June 30th, amounted to the value of $1,052,776 The report of the massacre by the Indians at Goose Lake {s confirmed by the arrival of one of the party, he being the only survivor. He reports that there were four families, numbering over one hundred persons, in the train. and the whole company, ‘women, men and children, were inhu- manly butchered. Among those who have lately taken this route, is the Kelsey family, by whom the auriferous iquavure of American rivers in California were est discovered. This family had much to suffer during the trip. The Indiaus, associated with a number of desperate whites, attacked them dur- ing thetr transit and robbed them of a qeantity of provisions and a number of ant:nals. Far worse than all,a cane girl of thirteen years was sur- prised by them, made a prisoner, and was left for dead on the road, with the loss of her scalp. Strange to relate, she did not die, and the little sufferer finally made out to regain the caravan. Accounts from Nevada Territory state that the overland emigration {s passin; though on the way to California at the rate of fifty to seventy wagons per day. The majority appear to come from Missouri, and many from Kentucky. They report that thousands are bebind them, and men- tion particularly one very large train, with the best outfit that has left. This is called the Bloomer train, and there are about forty ladies in it, all wearing Bloomer costumes and ts, and are armed with bowie knives and revolvers. —_—_———_—_—_—_—___—_ ¥ OW AN 500,000 dita So Wy FARLOY AND the highest Price will he paid in sproie Aleo, 150.000 Ib: : #.0f SOAP and CANDLES for anle cheap for cash, at the Nationa Soa jovernment telegraph delegate to p and Can- die Worke, Green st. and the Canal, Georgetown, .C.
