But three years of ‘war ought to have taught us the art of pur- suit.” The Blockade at Wilmington. Frem the Richmond Whig, Sep .29.] ‘Ihe Confederate States steamer Phantom, from Bermuda, was chased ashore near Top- sail Inlet, by the blockading fleet Wednesday morning. She had a yaluable cargo of Gov- ernment stores, &c. The crew all made their escape in boats. No turther particulars have been giver. The steamer Arabian, on going vat at Now LIulet bar one night last week, was forced back by the blockaders, got aground, and has gone to pieces near Fort Fisher. She was loaded principally with cotton. Vessel | and cargo a@ total loss, allof which falls on ‘The steam gunboat Western World, which is _ Private parties. attached to the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, has been hauled upon the ways at the Navy Yard, and will be thoroughly over- hauled. She was in the storm off Hatteras, in August last, when the Bainbridge foundered and was near being lost, and on examination it is found that she has been much strained, and that extensive repairs are necessary.

Henry O’Neil, Company A, 15th N. Y. Topo- graphical Engineers, awaiting sentence of | court-martial, was committed to the Old Cap- itol this morning. From CHaTTanooea.—Arrangements forse- | curing prompt communication between Chat- tanooga, Gen. Rosecrans’ headquarters, and | ‘Washington have been completed. From Uairo we learn that Gen. Sherman's corps, of Grant’s army, is on themove, but whither is unknown. | The Indianapolis Journal of Monday states that 15,000 troops are to be sent forward to Gen. Resecrans immediately from that place. The detachment which returned from the In- | dian expedition is expected to make up part of this force. The 33d New Jersey regiment left | Indianapolis on Thursday, en route for Chat- tanooga. The Nashville Union contains an advertise- ment for 1,000 men to work on the Northwestern Failroad, which runs to Edgefield and thenca to Paris, Ky. The purpose is to make it avail- | Able in treasporting troops from the Mississippi to Chattanooga. The Louisville Journal of Tucsday says: | . It is reported that the steamers Elizabeth and Advance have been coprared by the block- | aders. From the best information the Wil- mington Journal can obtain, it is led to believe that the reporied capture of the Elizabeth is probably correct. So far as the Advance is concerned, it has not been able to obtain any information upon which to base a decisive | conclusion. Expedition to the Eastern Shore. The nayal expedition mentioned in yester- day’s paper, was commanded by Acting Mas- ter J. Y Beall, ©. S. N. Acting Master Ed- | ward }.cGuire, was second in command. The | party proceeded to the Atlantic side of the Eas- tern shore of Virginia, and captured three sloops and four schooners. (ne of the latter | was the Alliance, bound trom Philadelphia to | Port Royal, S.C. She was laden withsutler’s | stores, he cargo alone would probably have brought $200,000 in Richmond. About $10,000 worth of the stores were saved; the vessel was then burned. Some of the vessels were boarded in open | daylight, within view of half a dozen others, the crew of which evidently did not suspect | the proximity of an enemy. Nearly all the wessels were destroyed, and the officers and | crew held as prisoners. The Richmond Sentinel, of Sept. 28th, says | the Rebel Secretary of the Treasury, in a cir- |; cular to the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer and Depositaries of the 1reasury of the Con- tederate States, brings to their attention the | various measures which Congress has adopted | to promote the funding of Treasury notes, and thus reduce the amount in circulation; and the Sentinel trusts that the financial expediente ot | the government will receive the hearty sup- port of all citizens, and that every man will invest half of his money in government bonds. | Public speakers are urged to bring this matter | to the attention of the people on all occesions. The Question about Northern ‘‘Tone and Temper.’ The House of Delegates yesterday, in the irost summary manner, disposed of a resolu- tion for phat les the tone and temper of | the people of the United States on the subject | of peace, with a view to responding, if fayor- able. The House knew what everybody | N : “We have ccnversed with gentlemen who left | knows—thatsuch resolutions are both idle and Gen. Rcsecrans’ army as late as last Friday ncor, and they report everything very quiet. | ‘The enemy is reported in force ten of fifteen miles in front of Rosecrans’ well-chosen posi- tion, but they make ro demonstrations, and are ‘wait'ng, it is supposed, tor an indication of a movement ofonrarmy. They are afraid to at- tack our troops in t iefr intrenchments.” GALLANT Maryu.—Capt. Wm. H.

Here- Ports'that the Dirigo State goes in for Pushing the war until the rebellion is crushed, if the job tekes twenty years’ time and the last man and dollar. This feeling is well illustrated by the Tesult of the late election in that State. ARREST OF THE COMMANDER OF THE Post AT MaRTINsBURG.—Col McReynolds, of the | Ast New York cavalry, known as the Lincoln | cavalry,commander of the post of Martinsburg, Va., is in this city under arrest. against Colone) McReynolds are that he has Permitted rebel officers to promenade in Mar- tinsburg unmolested, and that he has permitted The charges | and directed goods to be taken through Mar-. tinsburg without an examination by the pro- ‘vost marshal. THE CHaTTANOoGA REBEL ON THE SITUA- ‘Tion.—The Chattanooga R-bel, before it was compelicd to migrate, speaking of the perils of its situation, said: “The mountains of East ‘Tennessee—to use the illustration of one of our ablest generals—form a breastplate to the Con- federacy. Pass them and the probe of the enemy at once reaches the guts of the South. ‘Therefore is East Tentiestee to be defended at all hazards” } mischievous, for they will only be taken by | Our enemies as evincing more or less readiness on our part for reconstraction. The House, by & unanimous vote, put its footon the resolu- tion, and without a word of discussion or a | moment of delay. In this they bat fairly rep- resented the manliness and the unanimity of our people.—Richmond Sentinel Sept. 29. The Sentinel 's that for financial consider- ations, the Confederate Government has with- @rawn the authority given Mr. Spence, of Lon- don, to act as financial agentof the Confederacy. Gen. J.C. McRae, agent of the cotton loan, has become the depository of ihe Government in Paris, while Frasier, Trenholm & Co., of Lon- don, who have acted in that capacity for the Government since the war began, continue in charge of Confederate deposits in their city. The Sentinel) announces the arrival at the Spottswood Hotel of Gen. John U. Pemberton. From Chattaneega—Hope ef Starving Rosecrans. If the starving condition of the Federals near Chattanooga be as hopelese as represented, says the Knoxville Register, Rosecrans’ army will be decimated by straggling and desertion, ‘Whether our commissariat is in a perfect con- dition, enabling us to pursue the advantages gained, we are not advised. We have thought that Rosecrans would be forced by his necessi- ties to give battle again. Rumor tells us that | Our cavalry are between Rosecransand Bridge- | port, whence his supplies are drawn, and | where they were accumulated on his advance to Chattanooga.

Lex’s Visir To BEacc.—A Memphis letter, of a very recent date says: lady, who has just arrived from Atlanta, Ga., says Gen. Lee passed through that place, en ronte for Chat some ten days ago; and that Confederate troops had been passing through in grest numbers Some days before 15,000 militia, from Georgia alone, went to swell the numbers of Bragg’s army.” —$<_<_<___. w7 The Committee to examine the harbor and are now retreating in the direction of Knoxville, oar forces pursuing.

[From the Charleston Courier, Sept. 26. ‘The Yankees, in I “ : e force, were agdin vig- orously at work on ttery Wagner all day yesterday. They have made considerable changes, and have thrown up formidable sand embankme ts tacing James Island. They also appeared to be busy preparing the grouiid be- hind these embankments for platforms for their guns.

A letter from Beaufort, South Carolina, 23d ult., to the Boston Traveller says: “A secret expedition to the mainland, under Uaptain J. E. Bryant, of the Eighth Maine volunteers, and consisting of two companies of colored troops, the chaplain of Col. Higgin- son’s regiment, a telegraph operator and a lieutenant of the Fourth South Carolina yol- unteers (now forming,) has justreturned, with, I regret to say, only partial success. The ex- pedition started by oder of Gen. Gilmore, with the view, not of cutting the rebel telegraph be- tween Charleston and Savannah, butof attach. ing & wire and receiving theirdispatches. Ow- ing to the gross carelessness of thecperator, the attached wire, instead of havi been hid be- hind the pole, was allowed to g in plain sight, and was discovered by ngersin the first train, not, however, until some very im- portant messages bad been received, and among others a telegram to the commander of the rebel troops in Savannah from Beauregard himeelf, ordering all his forces to Charleston to engage in an attack on Folly Island. Bat as it has not beem made, our getting wind of it im ne unexpected way probably defeated their object. Official Repert ef eur Naval Fight with the J ese. Commander D. McDougal, U. S. N., com- manding U. S. steam sloop Wyoming, has communicated to Secretary Welles the official account of the firing upon our vessels by the Japanese. Commander McDougal encloses the affidavit of the officers of the U.S. steamer Pembroke, to the effectthat while on their way to Shanghai, China, via the Inland sea, the: were fired upon by a Japanese brig and seri- ous demage was done tothe Pembroke. The latter fired no return shot, but made every effort to get out of the way. ‘When this information was communicated to Commander McDougal, he left Yokahoma for the scene of the outrage, and arrived at the Inland sea on the morning of July 16th. They discovered a steamer, brig, and bark-ot-war flying the Japanese colors at anchor off the town of Simorowsaki, and as the Wyoming approached these vessels she met with a furi- ous fire from all three. The Wyoming returned the fire, and the action was xept up for an hour, and serious damage was inflicted upon all three of the Japanese vessels. Commander McDougal says: «The straits opposite the city are about three-fourths of a mile wide, with strong cur- rent=, which made it very difficult to ma- neeuyre theship property, as I had no charts, and my pilots were completely paralized; and I was apptehensive of getting on shore, (in fact, did touch once,) I was induced to with- draw oatof action. The fire from the shore battery was extremely brisk and continued so as long as we were in range; we were hulled eleven times, and with considerable damage to smoke-stack and the rigging aloft, which was attributed to our passing within the Tange they were prepared for. * * * * ‘The Prince of Nagata, it appears, has com- menced this war on his own account, as he is one of the most powerful and influential of the Princes of the Empire, and bitterly opposed to foreigners; but the Byishment inflicted and in store for him will, I trust, teach him a les- son that will not soon be forgotten.” A French steamer anda British ship having also been fired on, the French Admiral, Juarez, also inflicted a merited punishment for such a gross violation of existing treaties. In adispatch dated July 25th, Commander McDougal notes the returh of Admiral Juarez to Yokahama, and announces that he burned a town, destroyed rmmunition, amd inflicted other punisbment upon the perfidious Japa- nese. The Federal loss during the action was four killed and seven wounded. LOCAL NEWS. .

Yesterday morning, as & number of children were playing abouts train of wagons parked near the corner of Twenty-first and N streets, ‘they threw stones at the mules, and one of the contraband drivers, named Thomas Lucas, threw a stone at the children, striking a little boy named Henry Burns, fracturing his skull to such an extent as toexpose the brain. As soon as the affair was known in the neighbor- hood, a large number of persons, among whom. ‘were several women, caught Lucas and threat- ened to hang him; but fortunately Sergeant Hurley, of the First Ward police, made his appearance, and after repeated entreaties ob- tained the custody of Lucas and pacified the mob. Lucas was carried before Justice Drury, who committed him to jail to await the result of the boy’s injuries. Dr. Newman was sent for, and is in attendance on the little fellow at the residence of his parents, but there are no hopes of his recover7. Sees CRIMINAL CouRT, Chief Justice Cartter— Patrick Burke, confined for an assault and bat- tery, was ordered to be discharged from jail at the suggestion of the grand jury. This morning, Hattie Seymour, indicted for keeping a bawdy and disorderly house on Twenty-fourth street, near Pennsylvania ave- nue, was found guilty. (This house has been for some months past quite a fashionable re- sort. ‘Maria Kaufman, indicted for the same of- fence, in keeping a house on Massachusetts avenue, near Fourth street, was next placed on trial. Mr. Davis appeared for the defence, and contended that it was unjust that parties who were poor should be prosecuted for this offence, when indictments against such parties as Mary Hall, Sarah Austin and others, who keep the upper ten style of honses of this class, were not called up. a RoBBERY, AND ASSAULT AND BATTERY with INTENT TO KILL.—On the night of Au- gust loth. the house of G. F. Mentzinger, bacon dealer, 457 Eleventh street, was entered by a party of young men, who assaulted the pro- prietor, and beat him till he was blind and senseless. They then stole from the premises one revolver, a silver watch, a coat and other articles of clothing, and a lot of bacon. On the night of September 29th, Officer Tucker, of the Third Ward, arrested asoldier named Thomas King, as one of the party. King was sent to ee for further hearing by Justice Thompson. ‘his morning Mr. Mentzinger identified the Prisones, as one of the party who beat him, and ustice Thompson committed King to jail for trial at court, ———. Szitinc Liquor To Sotprgrs.—The police of the Second Precinct have directed their at- tention to the shops were liquor is sold to sol- diers contrary to law. Patrolman Ross ar- rested Jane Sullivan and Julia Roselle for selling liquor to soldiers, and carried them before Justice Thompson, who fined each of the dealers $20. Italso appeared that Julia Roselle was selling liquor without license, and for this violation of the law, the Justice or- ordered her to BY, an additional fine of $20. Female dealers in whiskey are quite numer- ous in the vicinity of the soldier’s quarters, few of whom are licensed by the proper au- thorities to sell. SEWERAGE.—An ample sewer has just been finished along Cstreet from 4% to 6th street, in the rear of the National and Metropolitan hotels, and a still more lengthy one is new in course of construction slong up the middle of Sixth street northward to its intersection with @ street, four or five squares, connecting at that point with a similar sewer heretofore existing slong the balance of G street, and for some dis- tance along under Massachussettsavenue. An extensive sewer is also to be put down under Seventh street, ranning from the Massachu- setts avenue sewer, where it crosses Seventh street, down to H street, a distance of two squares. ———___ Boous Dsrsctivs.—Julius Haup was ar- rested last night by Officer Lynch, of the Fourth Ward, for passing himself off as a U. S. de- tective. Lynch met him ata hotel on theavenue boasting of his feats as a detective. He stated that he had been attached to Col. Baker’s force, but is now with Capt. Scheetz. Lynch asserted that Capt. Scheetz had no such man as Haup on his force, and in order to prove his assertion he arrested Haup and took him to the Fourth Ward station-house. This morning he was de- livered to the military authorities, and taken to the Central guard-house. —_—_—»——__ ACCIDENT.— Yesterday morniny, as a colored | man named Wm. Lloyd, who was intoxicated, attempted to get on one of the street cars near the Georgetown bridge, he fell, and the wheels of the car passed over and: mangled the fin- gers of one hand. It is said that the car passed on, and no one stepped to inquire as to what injury had been done. Officer Stuard procured a carriage and took the injured mon to his residence, on L street, between Third and Fourth streets. RogseEp H1s CoMRADES.—On Sunday night, Toomas Black. Anthony Patten, Grigsby) ‘Washington, and another party all colored, went to sleep together at Armory Square Hos- pital, where they are all employed, and when they awoke in the morning Patten and Wash- ington missed their watches and a small sum of money. Black was charged with the larce- ny and was arrested by Officer Garrett, who took him before Justice Boswell, and he was committed to jail for court. Se An ImpUDENT BurGLar.—Thomas Marr, the burglar captured by officer Lynch, Thurs- day night, claimed to be the ‘*Steward of the Dead House at Stanton Hospital,” which was not so. He was a convalescent soldier, detailed for temporary duty in the dead house, and was not & mawand of the hospital. The stewards of the hospital are A. H. Johnson and Chas. Brace, and these gentlemen are, of course, unwilling that Marr’s falsehood shall be re- ceived as truth by the public. : THE Races YESTERDAY.—The race yester- day at the Washington course, near Piney Branch, was largely attended, and went off successfully. There was soime little excite- ment on the ground, and but little ill teeling was exhibited. The race was between Mr. Ford’s mare, Gentle Annie, and Mr. William’s mare, McClellan, for a purse of $250, and was won by the former. ‘he first heat was won by Annie in 2.49;the second by the same in 2.49%; the third by McClellan in 2.46, and the fourth by Annie in 2 -~AbouT A GoaT.—Some days since, Mr. Ter- rence Riley lost a billy-goat, which he charged had been stolen from his yard, and he procured a search warrant, with which officer Ashton ‘went to the pound and found the animal, and arrested the pound-master, Jno. Tcombs. Jus. tice Bos’ did not consider the case wel made out, and dismissed it, when the pound- master carried the goat back to the pound, Mr. Riley refusing to pay the fees for the same, amounting to ‘st Temperance H.
