THR LAST REBEL BUGBEAR. ell-intormed persons here place no con- idence woatever in the carrent story that the olgsarchy design resorting to a large levy of slaves to cerve as soldiers against the Union cause. Doub'less they have equads of negroes iu aims here and there, but the idea of their trusting an organized army of ihem anywhere with wespons in their hands, is preposterous; a6 they know full well that they would surely be turned against them and their cause on the ret passing opportunity. Suchan acton their part ¥ oud also be the most speedy and effectual mede of abolishing slaver, throughout the whole South, while it would also be received by the owners of the slaves thus conscripted as deliberate robbery of them, by thrir own government, of the very property for the batter security of which to them, the war was nomi- mally made. Thus, there could be no truth in the story; which, if true, would end the rebel- lion in double quick time, by the act of the lead- irg rebel conspirstors;a feat they have no desire whatever to perform.

Execution of the Substitute Deserters— 29,000 Spectators Present The execution of the substitute deserters, eentenced to the penalty of death in General Orders No.4, took place to-ds ordinary interest was exbiti in this en- forcement of military law, and it is estimated that not less than 25,000 persons were present. | ‘The ground was well selected, and every ar- Tang+ment so complete that no accident oc- curred to mar the solemnity of the proceed- ings. The position ot the spectators was upon a semi-circular elevation, partially surrounding the place of execution. Previousto the execution the scene presented a@ remarkable view to the spectators. Two of the sentenced were Protestants, two Uatholics, and the fifttha Hebrew. The spiritual advisers of cach were present, administering the last consolations of religion. The criminals were setting upon their respective coffins, with the yawning graves in the rear. The troops were drawn op in close column, by division, cover- ing the complete semi-circle, separated from the spectators by a creek. The order for the immediate execution was issued by General Griffin at 3 o’clock p. m., and the officer of the guard, Papen Crocker, (118th Pennaylvania,) recalled the clergymen from their spiritual duties. The remainder of the roceedings is brietly told. At the order to fire, thirty-six muskets were discharged, and instant death, as announced by the surgeons in attendance, was the result, The bodies were then placed in their reepect- ive graves, and the clergy performed the re- ligious rites over the deceased. The spectacle was an unusual one—the Catholic, the Protestant, and the Hebrew stood side by side, each uttering prayers for the de- parted souls. The names, ages, residences, etc., of the de- ceased are as follows: George abn, Hano- old; residence in ylvania; unmarried. John Felane, Ital- inn, twenty-six years old; Pennsylvania; wife and family. Charles Walter, Prussian: twen- ty-eight i old; wife and child. George nese, Italian; twenty-four years old; wife sie oe Emile Lai, Prussian; thirty yeare 3 wife. The clergy who attended these unfortunate men were the chaplain of the 118th Pennsyl- varia, the Rev. U. L. Egam, (St. Dominic's Church, Washington,) and Rabbi B. S. Scold, of Baltimore. These gentlemen were unre- mitting in their attendance upon the deceased, from time of their sentence until the hour of their execution. @7 The Secretary of State returned to Wash- ingtom on Saturday evening from his visit home and brief excursion to the North.

On the evening of August 20th, Col. Wilder's mounted force, the advance of the Army ofthe | Qumberland, reached the east foot of Walden's | Ridge, from the summit of which they hai that morning surveyed, with astonished eyes, | the extensive valley of the Tennes-ee. ! Early next morning, Col. Funkhouser of the | 98th lilineis, was sent with two regime: ts of | mounted infaniry and two pieces of rifled cannon to reconnoiter the position of the ~ne- my at Harrison, or Hatrison’s Landing. They found the river guarded at this point by a brigade of rebels with our pieces of artille-y. ‘They were posted behind fortifications erected upon three of the neigh during hills, and in rifle pits along the banks of the stream. | Two companies of men sent inanother dires. | tiowtvund the enemy guarding the ford atthe mouth of the Chicumanga above Hrri-on's Landing. Here also they had constructed ritie its. With the remainder of his command consist- ing perhaps of 1,200 men and four pieces of ar- tillery. Wilder boldly resolved to beard the hon in his Gen, and accordingly set out for Chattanooga. Arapid march down brought , him opposite the famous town. So utterly un- locked tor was his coming, that a horse ferry. boat plying quietly back and forth over the river, cAme within an ace of fuliing into bis bande, his men getting within fifty yards of it betore they were discovered. When Wilder first appeared the rebels had but threa smail pieces of artillery iu position Unlimbering their guus in sbort order, our artillerists opened upon the enemy in fine style. Two stexambouts were at the landing upon the other side of the river, oue of which was sunk, and thecther badly disabied by our | shells. Wien the firing first commenced the large boat made desperate efforis to get up steam and clear oul, but the terrible missiles | arrested her proceedings, and soon sent her to { repose quietly upon the bottom. of the Tennes- | see. The cannonade commenced atabout 10a m, and continued at intervals until 5 in the atter- noon. Every piece irom which the enemy opened was eveniually silenced, although they fired with no less than nineteen different gains. Bat few of their shots, however, could reach | Colonel Wilder's position, as tne pieces taey | used were mostly -2 pound howitzers and 6. pound rifled. The missiles from these in al- most every case tell short. Captain Lilly's | Indiana battery did splendid execution against | the rebel works, frequently throwing ahalls | into the embrasures. and sending bis round ehot bounding and ricochetting over the im. | mense parapets, which seemed to be at least fifteen fret broad. At lengih the rebels got a 32-pound rifled | cannon into posiiiom, and trained it against | Liily’s gune. Most of its eho:s fell far wide of the mark, but one fired with more accurate aim than the rest, struck pinmp into the midst o! our artillerists, killed four of Liily’s hor-es, and tcok off a leg of Abram MeCook, one of his corporals This was the only casualty amongst Wilder's men. About five the enemy’s firing seemed entire- ly to cease, and after that everything was quiet upon the Chattanooga side, scarcely a rebel being seen. A poutoon bridge of forty-seven boats was stretched up the river, along the eastern shore, ready to bes wung across. Wild- er endeavored to get possession of this, nut as the river is only about 6() yards wide at thie place, the attempt was frustrated by a line of sharpsheoters posted advantageously on the river bank. fhe stories told of the arrival of Johnston near Chatranooga, and the removal of Brazg, are not I think, credited at headquarters. Nev- ertheless, both events may at any time take place. The junction of Jolinston’s forces with | the Army of Tennessee, can alore check the advance of Rorecrans, and Bragg may at any time be sacrificed to appense the fierce resent- ment of the rebel soldirry.

Chase, Inte m command of the gunboat Aa- tena, which vessel wa» then geting under way for Galveston, gave me the following informa- tion: The brig Atlantic has cotton on board direct from the Texas shore, and the captain of said brig wid me that ue wouid swearto the fact, and further said that if a private inter- view could be granted it would be to the advan- tage of the U. S. Government. The cause of the captain's strange proceeding waa, he says, im consequence of a misunderstanding between him and the parties chartering the vessel. Atter receiving this information from Acting Master Chase, I waited for the captain of the Atiaulic to get on board his vessel, then placed a guard on board of her. Since then I have obtained the following informaiion through A. A. Paymaster O. H. Sieveneou, whom I sent to Matamoras on duty, to whom Captain Lussan (of the brig Atlantic) made the following etatement: “T was taken into Key West in this same Atlantic, while bound: for this port, by a U.S. vessel, as a prize, and lay there thirty-six days; but 1 was smurt encngh to fool the authorities, notwithstanding 1 had contraband of war on board. I escaped from there, sued the U. S. Government, and got judgment for the sum of $10,000; then went cff and delivyred my cargo ali right, which caryo went into Brownsville, Texas, via Mata- moras, Mexico.” The captain of the said ves- sel further added: “If yon don’t look out I will tool you again. I have been in the bust- ness « long time, having ran the blockade during the Russian war; and if you are not very tharp I will get to windward of you again.” Mr. Haggurt, of New York, now at Matamoras, can testify that the brig Atlantic purchased her cotton in Texas.
