She was one of the very first and fastest engaged in blockade running—two hundred and seventy feet long and of one thou- | and tons burden. The Nansemond fired a shell through her foremast, another burst in the cabin, and & | third passed through forward, killing one man. A fourth shot struck under the guard, 140% | knocking in an iron plate, which forced her to run ashore to prevent her sinking. She was | bearded so quickly that her officers and most | of her crew were captured. As she could not | be got off, she was entirely destroyed, under a heavy fire from the rebel batteries. The Nansemond, since she joined the block- | ade, has driven three steamers ashore, entirely and were | destroying two—the Douro and the Weems. The third, the Eugenia, was got off by the rebels, but in a damaged condition. REMONSTRANCE FROM LOUISVILLE MERCHANTS. LovisviLLE, Nov. 3.—Great dissatisfaction exists among our merchants because of the re- quirement to carry their bondsmen to Cincin- meth an o premequicite te sbiain posmita tn send goods to loyal Southern points which are geo- graphically tributary to Louisville. A meeting | of the merchants is in contemplation to repre- sent to the Government the injustice of depri- | ving them of a local officer for granting them such permits. ! ARRIVAL OF A PRIZE STEAMER. PHILADELPHIA, Noy. 3.—The prize steamer Jupiwr, captured September 13th, in Warsaw Soun yy the gunboat Cimmerone has arrived here. The capture was made while the Jupiter | was on the way from Nassau to Savannah. The Jupiter was leaky, and had to be towed into Bufort, where the cargo was discharged in a damaged condition. She now lies off the Navy | Yard. : FROM CHARLESTON. Progress of the Siege—Bombardment of Fort Sumter. Fortress Monror, Nov. 2.—The flag-of- | truce boat has arrived, bringing late Southern advices. The Richmond Whig of Saturday, Oct. 31st, has the following: | _ CHABLEsToON, Oct. 30.-The bombardment of Fort Sumter to day is the heaviest that has yet | taken place. From sundown of Wednesday | till sundown of Thursday, 1,215 shots, from | 15 inch mortars to 300 pounder Parrotts,”have | been thrown againt the fort. Our loss was | seven wounded. This evening the enemy opened fire from the mortar battery at Cummings Point upon the northeast angle of the fort, which seems to be their special object of attention. The enemy’s | batteries engaged were those atGregg, Wagner, | Center Battery and Cummings Point, with the addition of their monitors. The bombardment of Sumter still goes on, | but the fire is much slacker. Our batteries fire | slowly and deliberately. The enemy at pres- | ent are paying no attention to them.

Wilkes Booth is the youngest of the three brothers—chips of the old block—is barely 21 years of age, and it would be unjust to insti- tate a com: between him and his sire as remem! at his best; but, thathe is # per- former of promise, there can be no question. Personally he does not resemble his father as closely as does Edwin Booth; but he has @ fine, expressive face, an eye reminding ome of his senior, a good figure, and a voice both forcible and musical. He was called out at the end of the piece and ‘welcomed with @ heartiness that showed he had madehis mark. He was well supported by Mr. Charles Wheatieigh, Mr. Pearson, Mr De Vere, Miss Belle Vaughn, Miss Waite and others of the combination company. It is worthy of mention that the immense audience at Ford’s last night was enabled to make its exit in five minutes’ time, owing to the admirable facilities to this end; an impertant consideration with those who hesitate to visit places of amusement, lest they should be trapped in case of a fire. To-night Booth appears in Shiel’s play of ‘The Apostate, @ piece in which he is said to be -exceedingly effective. ‘PERsovaL.—Mr. Damphool is not dead.

The detectives gained her confidence and that of Mrs. McDonald, and thus became pares to their plans. All met frequently at homas’ house. Thomas furnished money to buy axes ana calcoroform to release the prison- ers, and furoished disguises to the detective who traveled between the Columbus and Cin- cinnati confederates. He visited Columbus frequently, and _ conferred with Cathcart and others there, and was in conference with him when he was arrested. ‘The plan of release at Camp Chase was as follows: ‘When She priscaers saw 4 beacon-light at a certain point they should be ready. The guard ‘would be shot by the outside friends, and axes ‘would be thrownover tothem. Onceout, with the axes and arms provided they were to storm the penitentiary, release Morgan and other offi- cers, and start for the Ohio river, and cross near Maysville. Cathcart was to go aleng, re- ening ® commission in the rebel army for his reward. Cathcart was arrested at Rev. Sabin Hough's house. Hough is a Secessionist, to whom Webendignau: wrote in 1861 that “th Union was hopelessly divided.” : Wild as the scheme is, there seems to be abundant evidence that it was to have been tried a week ago, but the plans at that time miscarried.

The workmen and mechanics employed on the Treasury extension, who struck yesterday on account of what they conceived to be the un- just demands of those controlling them, had an adjourned meeting this morning at Lemperance Hall at 100’clock. The committee appointed to wait upon Secretary Chase, through their chairman, Mr. John A. Ross, of the carpenter’s branch, reported that the committee had had an interview with Secretary Chase at9 o’clock this morning, and that while the Secretary does not approve of the gourse the mechanics and labor- ing men have pursued in this matter, yet asa friend he desires all to go to work, and he would sec if some arrangement could not be made whereby their grievances could be remedied. He (Mr. Chase) thought the complaints might have reached him without the resort of the men toa strike, but (said Mr. Ross) we told him that we could not have secured our just demands without pursuing this course. The committee told Secretary Chuse that they could not take the word of the man over them, (Mr. Rogers,) because he had heretofore violated his word solemnly given. | consider the matter and give the strikers an an- swer in writing some time during the day. Mr. Pray suggested that the meeting insist upon having its rights or nothing at all, and he therefore moved that the men remain idle until the Secretary of the Treasury accords them their just rights. [Applause.] Mr. Ross advised the meeting to do nothing hastily. He was with the majority of the meeting heart and soul, but he thought they | should dispassionately consider the suggestion of Secretary Chase, which was given in an evident friendly spirit. In the interview with the committee the Secretary had intimated that the action ot the men looked as though they did not desire to work for tie Government, but he (Mr. Ross) had assured the Secretary that they ‘were desirous of working for the Government; but that they insisted Epon their rights as men and mechanics. The Secretary said the men were free to act as they saw fit, but his advice was that all should go to work. He (Mr. Ross) thought a contidence should be placed in Mr. Chase’s promises, and that the men should trust him. Mr. Pray hoped there would be no division of sentiment on this subject. ‘ United,” said he, ‘we stand, divided we fall.” Mr Letournany tuo ecurelaly UL We mveULy, appealed to all present to acquiesce in the re- quest of Secretary Chase. The meeting had appealed to him (Secretary C.) and laid their | grievances before him. He had promised to | consider the matter, and he (Mr. C.) would not dare, in the face of the country, to retract what he had so solemnly promised. ' Secretary Chase ‘was aman and a gentleman. a9, onein noe the whole country placea cohfdence, and W ‘y could not we? Let us try him, and it he too deceives us, then we can resort to some other power. But he (the er) wanted it under- stood that whatever the majority of the meet- ing would do that would he acquiesce in; but he hoped the meeting would repose the required confidence in the Secretary. Mr. Pray reminded the meeting that men in high places could deceive as well as those oc- cupying lower positions. Let us put no confi- dence in any one until something positive is done or suggested. Mr. Letournan said he would be among the last to do anything in violation of the rights of the mechanic. Butif in this matter a forcible doubt was expressed of Secre Chase’s hon. esty of intention, he would not blame him (Mr. C.) if he gave a disagreeable answer to the re- quest of the committee. Other parties held that the to stay away from work unti the Secretary was known. Mr. Ross urged the meeting to rel. upon the promise of Secretary Chase, He (the Secreta- ry) had promised to give a written reply, and it. the men were not satisfied with that reply they could quit work again. He thought it would be well to give the matter a trial. Mr. Pray here withdrew his motion. and requested the president of the meeting (Mr. Ross) to make & statement of what had trans- pired at the interview, and then to suggest ‘what had best be done. Mr. Ross said that was a hard task for him form. He had confidence in Secretary Chase, but he did not like to make any further Suggestion than he had made. But ving Mr. Chase to be a perfect gentleman, and a man of honor and truth, he would advise the men to go to work. He (Mr. Ross) believed that when Secretary Chase advised the men to go to work he was actuated by a spirit of friendliness toward them. Mr. Letournan also urged the men to place confidence in the Secretary; to try him and see if he would prove false. He believed, however, that Mr. Chase would do all he had promised. Atter some further discussion, it was decided that all should go to work 3: one o'clock this afternoon, and await on the Treasury and after working hours, the reply ofthe Secretary. 1t was also understood that no man shonid be considered discharged. All were to goto werk as though nothing had happened, and then if the reply of the Secretary was not satis- factory, other action could be taken. Some discussion alse sprung up as to asso- ciation with such of the men as refused to par- ticipate in the strike, but it was decided that it ‘was best at present not to take any special notice of them. 3 ‘The meeting then adjourned to meet this afternoon at one o’clock, and goto work. Before separating, three enthusiastic cheers were given for Secretary Chase. oper way was the decision of CRIMINAL CouURT, Judge Olin.—This morn- ing, Anthony Simmes, charged with an as- sault and heey: with intent to kill John O.

You are discharged for the remainder of the term. , : Sarah Zedwick, colored, was tried for steal- ing two sheets and five towels from Mrs. Eliz- abeth Holmead, and found guilty. The District Attorney entered a nolle pros. in she case of Anthony Simms, indicted for petit jarceny. Richard Mellville, indicted for the larceny of 90from Mary A.Murphy, was found gully. John Hetty ‘was found guilty of stealing from Capt. W. H. Hill. Charles Seymour, a colored soldier, indicted for the larceny of #11 from Franklin Smith. In a case against Henry Ferguson, alias Bar- la Turk, indicted for the larceny of fourshirts, nolle pros. was entered, he haying been already convicted in a similar case. The following sentoncoc wore passed: An- thony Simmis, for assault and battery with intent to kill, eight years in the penitentiary; Sarah Zedwick, for pettit larceny, fifteen days in jail; Richard Melville, grand larceny. three years in the penitentiary; John Henry, grand larceny, one year in the penitentiary; and Chas. The Secretary promised to | Seymour, for a like offence, received a similar sentence. All these parties are colored, except Melville. Tue RosBEgs, which is to be produced at Ford’s New Theater to-morrow evening, is the composition of Frederick Schiller, and waswrit- ten at the early of twenty-three. Theper- formance of this first effort at dramatic compo- sition placed him at once, among the first authors of Germany, and deservedly so for the language is bold, impassioned and energetic, whilst the action and dramatic situation of the play are composed with exquisite dramatic skill. The best English translation from the original German is by Thompson. The present one is compiled by comparing the varioustrans- lations and has thus been adapted for represen- tation on the American Stage, where the per- formance of Mr. Booth as the hero, has ren- dered it very popular. The German Drama, at least that portion of it transferred to the English Stage, is not noto- rious for morality, yet in the Robbers, howev- er, the evil example of a proud and noble nature, goaded to despair by fancied wrong, to the commission of crime, may tend to sap the foundation of a weak mind, virtuous only from | cireumstance, yet the terrible retribution which overtakes all the guilty actors in this play, will certainly deter any but the most romantic from following the footsteps of De Moor and his companions. Some of the situations of this play are among the best specimens of dramatic effect ever pre- sented before an audience. They are not only powerfully interesting, but leave their traces indelibly fixed upon the memory long after the curtain shuts from view the actors in the mimic scene. Such is the lesson taught at the end of | the Second Act, where not one among that robber band can be found to turn traitor to their chief. The pardon offered is flung with indignation in the face of the tempter, and placed in the muzzle of their muskets, as a wadding, and a warning—‘Wur hundkein ist rette den Hauptman.” The sentence and the punishment of the un- natural son, Francis de Moor, are so terrible yetso just that itseems an expiation if not an atonement for crime. The poor, deceived, and wretched father, is an object of pity, while Amelia, the pure, devoted, self-immolated vic- tim of devoted love, excites at once our admi- ration and our grief for such a denouement, while the untimely fate of Charle: de Moor causes many a deep drawn sigh, that anything 50. mobip should thus haye been sacrificed—the force of circumstances almost excusing all his errors and his crimes.
