The Chronicle thinks that the Government's generous care of those who are fighting the battles of their country in the presentatruggle, affords another illustration of the fact that we are not only capable of vindicating our liber- ties, but also of teaching lessons to foreign na- tions which they will be forced to admire. The Inielligercer notes the mischief done by the Congressional Committee.on the Conduct of the War when they insinuated that either , the President, Secretary of War, or the Gene- Yal-in-Ohief permitted the plans of General Burnside to be made kmown to those in this city whose sympathies are with the rebels. OUR MILITARY BUDGE? sostioide NAVAL EXPEDITIONS AND SUCCESSES ON THE FLORIDA COASP. The Navy Department have official informa. tion of a successful boat expedition from the gunboat Sagamore, aided by boats from Fort Henry, on the Florida coast, between the Suwanee river and the Anclote Keys. Tho sloop Helen, of Crystal Ri: er, loaded with cetton, was burned. After, ards, while en- deavoring to reach @ schooner said to be loaded With 300 bales of cotton, the expedition became engaged with a two-gun shore battery, sup- ported by riflemen concealed in the woods. The rebels were driven trom their guns and rifle-pits with some loss, while but one man was hurt on ourside. In the meanwhile the rebels themselves fired the schooner, which Was thus totally destroyed. The commander of the frigate St. Lawrence reports the bombardment of the town of Gads- den’s Point, in Tampa bay, inreturn for treach- ery of the rebels in decoying a boat’s crew from the U.S bark Pursuit to the shore by waiving a white fiag, and placing men in sight dressed as females, with their faces blackened, as though craying assistance. When the boat got in range the pretended .females tore off their ‘women's garments, and a hundred armed men suddenly showed themselves and commenced ng, severely wounding Acting Master Henry ik. Lufham and seaman Edw’d K. Smith, and slghtly wounding Fred A. Brayman and John Peters, landsmen. The U.S. schooner Beau- regard was the bombarding vessel on this oc- casion. The same officer also reports an affair in which Acting-Muster James Folger, with the Iaunch’s crew (11 men,) of the U. S. bark Kepukuck, were recently engaged up St. An- drew’s Bay, where they had gone toinyestigate the whereaboutts of a vessel reported to be | loading with cotton thege. The party incauti- ously landed, and were immediately set upon by an overwhelming rebel force, who killed two of our men and weunded six. CAPTURE OF A BATCH OF BLOCKADE Pry RUNNERS, © The U.S. S. Huntsville reporis the capture, on the 6th instant, of the Confederate sloop Minnie, with thirteen bales of cetton, from the Ocilla river, Fia., bound to Matanzas. The U.S. S. Hendrick Hudson reports the capture, on the i6th instant, of the schooner Teresa, trying to run the blockade at Egmont Key, Fia. ; The U. S. bark Gem of the Seas reports the capture, on the Sth imetant, of the English schooner Maggie Fulton, of Nassau, N. P., loaded with a general cargo, for attempting to run the blockade off Indian Inlet. The U®S. ship Huntsville reports the cap- ture of the British schooner Ascension, (tor- merly the Annie Clap, of Key West.) of and trom Havana, with an assorted cargo, while trying te run the blockade of Suwanee river. The U. S. schooner Wanderer, on the 17th in- stant, captured off Egmont Key, Fla. the | schooner Annie B, with seventeen bales of cotton. A tender of the U. S. steamer Dole captured, on the 13th instant, while trying to run into Obrystal river, Fla., the schooner Mattie, from Havaia, with an assorted cargo. The U.S. bark Ethan Alien reports the cap. © ture of the British schooner Gipsey, of Nassau, N. P formerly the Grace E. Baker, of Key West—with an assorted cargo} while trying to ran the blockade off St. Joseph's Bay, Fla. DESTRUCTION OF A CONFEDERATE BLOCK- ADE RB VER, The Navy Department have received an of- ficial report of the destruction of the schooner Onward, by an expedition from the U. S. bark Amanda. The Onward was about to load with cotton (torun the blockade) in Oclock- ney river. c Licut. Commanding George E. Welch dis- patched Acting Master R. J. Heffner, with the Amaada’s Inunch and sloop Breckinridge, on the 20th ultimo, and 27 men and two officers. They succeeded in burning the rebel schooner after vainly endeavoring to work her out of Tange of the fire of the rebels on shore, who to the number of some 200, sharply attacked the | boat's crew with Minnie rifles while so en- eaged. One man—James Mooney—was killed on our side, and eight wounded, and quite a - mumber of the enemy were killed and wound- ed. Fi The fellowing are the names of our wounded iu the affair. Viz: Owen McManus, Samuel Reynolds, Wm. Wallace, James Holsen, Benj. Davis, Mathew Evans, and Acting Master Rich'd J. Hoffner; the wound of the latter be- ing the most severe. ———<—$—$______. NOTORIOUS REBEL GWERILLA CAPTURED. Coil. McReynolds, commanding U.S. forces at Berryville, Va., informs Brig. Gen. Kelley that be bas succeeded in capturing Capt. Lay- poled, one of the most notorious rebel guerilla leaders in the service. Seven of his men were captured at the same time. ATTEND THE Primary MEETINGS. —It is sin- cerely to be hoped that the primary meetings tor the nomination of Unconditional Union can- didates tor Collector, Register and Surveyor of eahis city, advertised to be held simultaneously ia all the wards to-morrow evening, will be atrended by every citizen who is for putting down tae rebellion by the power of the sword, ard who realizes his dnty te sustain the Gov- ernment heartily in whatever measures to that end the exigencies of the occasion may force upon it. Especially de we appeal to men iden- tif d with the city’s real welfare to turn out in their etrength on that ootasion. Out of their pockets come the taxes: expended by the city | government, and their steke in the well-being | ot this community is far greater than that of apy others. They may/easily control the ac- tion of these important primary meetings if they piesse, t the extent of Preventing the | eugcess of convention tickets gotten up in the | ices! of ward rowdies, such &s too often too: cnndidates, and, subsequently, rulers, | wren the people of nearty all American cities, | to the great injtiry of the public and pri- , ht inierests of the reputabie citizen.

We have no fear-that any others than uncon- ditionally loyal men will be momimated by any delegates who may possibly be chosen by these meetings: but the true interests of our city and the cause for which the Government is strug- gling with those in arms against the bli peace, imperatively require that the c: tes: should not only be unconditionally loyal, but men who will also bring out a full vete in feyor of an unconditionally loyal platform. What is necessary in the approaching election, is to make such nominations as will prove to the world that ali the citizens of the Federal Metropolis, with inconsiderable exceptions, are for sustaining tbe Government's measures to put down the rebellion with heartiness not hereafter to be questioned. Such ademoastration on the part of this city— which can be obtained if the proposed conyen- tlon nominate men whe 4&re thoroughly iden- tifled with the cily’s progress and wellbeing, and have fairly earned the confidence of the Maryland election to take place not long hence; a desideratum the importance of which all who haye the Government’s war measures at heart, muet surely realize. GorTscHALK CoyogrtT.—The Gottschalk concert last night was a brilliant affair, and the handsome pianist introduced several now compositions, which elicited great applause; as did bis performance of national and other airs. Mlle Louise Vivier, a very pleasing vocalist, sang several pieces with fine effect; and the Bretto brothers were applauded to the echo for their wonderful performances on the violin | and cornet, Mr. Gottschalk gives another and final con- : cert to-night, with an excellent programme. W27A correspondent at Suffolk, Virginia, writing on Thursday, says: “Weare closely bemmed in, the enemy are on all sides of us, save ourrear. Thisis now secure They have aforce of trom 30,000 to 40,000 men. It was | their evident design to attack us the first day that they drove in our pickets, thinking to find uf unprepared, but observing their error on this point, they paused to consider—and still pause.” m7 Clement L. West, former ly of Philadel- phia, has been appointed, by Secretary Usher, Chief Clerk of the Capitol Extension and con- struction of the new dome, vice T. C. Magru- der, removed. Mr. West lately resigned the position of Captain and Assistant Q uartermas- “ter in the army on account of disability, caused while in the discharge et his duty. LATE TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

As Mr. Wood was leaving the stand, one of the jurors raised the question as to his compe- tency as a witness. on account of his religious opinions.

To which he replied that any intelligent man musi believe that a reward, to be a reward, muet be in the future, as alsoa punishment, aad as he claimed to be an intelligent man, he coin- cided in that view. The Court said the questions must be asked categorically; that it was a question “in whick the wayfaring man or fool need not err there- in,” and remarked that no man who did not believe in a future state of rewards and pun- ishments should testify while be was on the bench.
