THE EVENING STAR. | W. D. W OULACH, Editer and Prepricter. WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY......... NOVEMBER 15, 1564, Wa READING MATTER ON EVERY PaAGs. BER OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. E BLOWING UP OF THE GUNBOAT — TULIP. Oliicial Ri port of Circumstances of the Disaster. The Navy Department has received the fol- lowing Official report of the particuiars of the deplorable disazter in the lower Potomac: 13.—Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy— Sir. It has become my painful duty to report to the Department the total destruction of the U.S. steamer Tulip by a boiler explosion on Friday evening last, off Ragged Point, in the Potomac river. Of a complement of fifty-seven officers and men ten only were saved, two of whom have £ ince died. The Tulip left St. Inigces by my orders on Friday afternoon, bound to the U.S. Navy- Yard, Washington, for the purpose of having her starboard bouer repaired, which was re- ported by Ol'ef Eugineer Reilly to beim an . unsate condition. She started with steam on her port boiler only, and her senior engineer | was cautioned by Caiet Engineer Reilly not to get steam on the starboard one under any cir- cumstances, 8s will be seen by the accompany- ing reports ied to the terrible explosion Very re-pec'' ally, your obedient servant, FOXHALL A. PARKER, Com*d’r Com’d'g Potomac Flotilla. U.S, WYANDANK, St. Inigoes, Md., Nov. 12, 1S61.—Com'd'r F. A. Parker :-—Sir—In obedience | to your orders, 1 would respectfully make the following report of the disaster to the U.S. steainer Tulip. On the Jith of November, at 3 o'clock, we left St. Inigces Naval Station, bound for ‘Washington, steaming under one boiler. Af- ter passing the guard-schooner Wm. Bacon, I being offic r of the deck, the pilot asked me | tne Tethmus of Panama had caused much ex- why we we+ going tostop at Piney Point. I tela bim 1 did not know. him that they were going toget up steam on the other boiler. Third Assistant Engineer John Gordon. then on watch, said it was not necessary to stop. that he had already steam on the ether boiler. We did not stop at Piney Point, but passed on up the Potomac. Nothing unusual had occurred up to6 p.m., when 1 was relieved. About 16 minutes past 6 o'clock, I ws on the fore part of the vessel, heard some noise and excitement in the engine room, started ait, saw volames of steam come up the eugine and fire room hatch ways, and heard Engineer Gordon cry out, “Haul your | fire!’ At tLat moment Senior Engineer Parks rusted down the engine room, and Engineer Gordon cried ont, «For Taise the safety- valve’ Seeing there was dan- ger. | walked att; when I came abreast of the cabin companionway the explosion occurred, sind the after part of the vessel went down in abont two minutes Very respectfully, your ob t sery't, Joun Dayis, Acting Master’s Mate. U Cree, Noy. i2.—Commander F. A. Parker.— | Sir: I have to report to you the lo-s of the U.S. | steamer Tulip, om the evening of the i!th inst. | Ik obedience to urders, we steamed with one bolier trom St. Inegoes Creek atabout 3o’clock | Pp. m., bound tor Washington. At about S o’cl’k, | Acting Third A-sistant Engineer, Geo. Parks, | said to ws—Captain Smith and myself—that if we would stop at Piney Point about’ hours, | he would have steam in the starboard boiler, | which was the damaged one. Before we reached Piney Point, Acting Third Assistant Engineer John Gordon, then on | watch,said to me that “there was no use of | stoppingat Piney Point, for he had already got | steam iu the other boiler.” I then reported to | Capt. Smith what Mr. Gordon had said,and he | directed me to proceed on up the river. At | about 6 o'clock and 20 minutes, when abreast | ot Ragged Point, I was setting in the ward | room with Acting Third Assistant Engineer | Geo. Parks, when I heard Acting Third Assist- | ant Engineer John Gordon call ont to «haul fires." Engineer Parks ran on deck, and I fol- | lowed. I saw steam coming from the engine- room. Engiseer Parks jamped down into the | engine-room, and immediately returned. Act- ing Third Assistant Engineer Gordon called out, “For God's sake some one raise the sa‘ety- alve.” Acting Third Assistant Eagineer Parks gain jumped down inte the engine-room, and | at this moment the explosion took place. The versel, to the best of my belief, sank within three minotes from the time of the ex- plosion. We. 10 in number, were picked up at 7 o'clock by the tug boat Hudson and brought to this place. lam, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, RM. Waastarr, Actg Ensign and Execvtive Officer.

Baker, who was captured im tke vi- cinity of the Richmond and Danvilie railroad on the 13th of May, has made his escape, and ar- rived inthis city. His narrativeis exceedingly interesting, and in less exciting times would afford material for columns of newspaper no- tice. After bis capture he was carried to Rich- | sonville, Georgia. Here the prisoners were confined ina stockade without a particle of shelter from the fierce rays of the sunor the pelting storm, except when the prisoners de- prived themselves of necessary articles of clothing to make some sligh: screen. The prison fare here seemed to have been graafated by the rebels with the devilish pur- pose of killing off the prisoners by slow star- vation, hastened by the exposure to the weather. The daily rations at Andersonville were 4 pint corn meal, 2 spoonsfuls raw rice, 2 do, molasses. When bacon or beef was given the rice and molasses was withheld, and the meat rations when given consisted of two month- fuls of bacon or five of beef, and the latter al- ways spoiled. The stockade formed a square and within the stockade walls and 20 feet from them was an interior square within which the prisoners were confined. The lines of this in- terior square were marked only by a line of stakes with slips of boards nailed on at top something like telegraph posts and wires and this vaguely defined line was designated as the “Dead Line,” the orders being that any pris- oper passing a hair’s breadth past the line should be shot by the guards stationed on the walls of the stockade. It was reported that for every Yankee thus shot the guard doing the deed was grantedatur- lough of 30 days—a piece of diabolism almost beyond belief, but which receives confirmation in the fact thatin numerous instances prison- ers were shot dead when they were not within five feet of the dead line. In three instances while Onderkirk was there, prisoners, wild with theinsanity of hun- ger, and fever from exposure, courted death and sprang out past the dead line to receive the welcome bullet that relieved them from the horrors of such an existence. ‘The prisoners were 60 ravenoutly hungry that they would crawl under the ration wagons like dogs in questof the crumbs that might fall to the ground. Onderkirk says that atthe time he was at Andersonville our men were dying at the rate of 150 to 200 perday. When Sherman took At- lanta, the rebels, in alarm lest he should make araid upon Andersonville and release the large number of prisoners there, transferred the pri- soners in hot haste to various points—Savyan- nah, Charleston and elsewhere. Onderkirk was sent to Savannah. Hera tha jare was somewhat better than at Anderson- ville, but they were kept in stockade, upon the bare ground, exposed to sun and rain day and night. Thescanty prison fare was made more tolerable by the kindness of citizens of Savyan- nah, especially the ladies, whosent in supplies of food and clothing until the brutal General Winder, who seems to indulge the hate of a devil towards our unfortunate men, interfered, and imprisoned some of the most respectable ladies of Sayannah in guard-house over night 4s a punishment for their exercise of this mere act of Christian charity to the unfortunate, starving prisoners. With the same systematic cruelty Winder peremptorily refased the offer cf citizens of Savannah toerect shelters for the prisoners at their own expense. Eight thousand prisoners were confined in the stockade at Savannah. When news come that Hood was moving into Tennessee, in the rear of Sherman, the prisoners at Savannah, with others, were transferred to Millen, Georgia, where a large siockade pen had been constructed. Millen is i bout equi-distant from Savannah, Milledge- ville, and Augusta, Georgia, and being ata convenient point of railroad junction, the rebels propose to make it their main prison quarters, Aglance at the map will, however. show inatit will ke a mighty convenient point for Sherman to drop down upon in his march through the cotton States, and especially so :bould Savannah or Charleston be his desti- nation. When the train conveying Ond-rk:rk, with cther prisoners, from Savannah to Millen was about 104 miles west of Savannah, he jumped trom the train while the train was moving at the rate of about 15 miles per hoar, and though a good deal stunned by the fall, managed to crawl away and hide himself effectually trom rebel search until night, when he resolutely t himself to the apparently hopeless under- taking of makiag his way, barefoot and un- guided, through 274 miles of hostile country, to Sberman’s lines at Atlanta. This he absolutely accomplished, walking by night, in 17 nights, making long detours to avoid regular lines of travel, where he would be liable to detection, and thus he was obliged to make his way for 67 miles of his tedious course through cypress swamps. Twice he had to run for life from the blood-hounds used by the Confederates to patrol their roads. Once he escaped from the hounds by darting imto a field of peas, where negroes had been at work, and hiding amongst the pea-vines, scarce daring to hope for escape, and saw with glad surprise the hounds lose the scent among the tracks of the negroes, and go off on a false trail, giving him an opportunity to flee again.

His only food ‘was what he ebtained from the fields, sweet potatoes, &c., and what the friendly negroes (who he always fouud Aas true as steel) pro- vided him with. Until within 40 miles of At- lanta he could get no definite information con- cerning the direction of that place, but tray- eled ina northwest direction, “taking theseven stars tor his guide,” as he 8. He escaped on the 11th of October, and struck our picket line 14 miles from Atlanta on the Ist of No- vember. He saw, or heard of, but few rebel soldiers until near Atlanta, when he was obliged to lay low while some 5,000 of Wheel- er’s cavalry passed, ona raiding expedition, moving in the direction of Stone Mountain. Our forces at Atlanta under Gen. Schofield, he found well-provisioned, and on his (Onder- kirk’s) way over the railroad from Atlanta to Chattanooga, sixteen trains of cars, with sup- plies, paseed in one day, en route to Atlanta. The road between Chattanooga and Atlanta was amply guarded and guerrillas were obliged to keep n respectful distance. Onderkirk’s description of the country through whicb he came has much interest in view of the reported grand movement of Sher- man’s in the Cotton States, which according to the timations in the Richmond papers, is startling the rebel leaders out of their proprie- ty. Onderkirk, of course, knows litule about Mobile or Charleston, but he was at Savannah and thinks that place could be easily taken by Sherman should that point be aimed at by him. The defences of Savannah are melo: on the coast side, and on the northwest or land side there are no defences of account and the coun- try is so level as not to offord any favorable de- fensive positions. There were very tew troops at Savannah when he was there;in fact, so few that on every third night the marines on the rebel boats in Savannha harbor were de- tailed for guard duty at the prison stockade. The roads through the country from Atlanta, in that direction, are generally good, being through a flat country for the most part. The streams are easily forded and with low banks. The hundreds of acres of sweet pota- toes, corn, and peas, would afford sustenance and forage for a large army passing through. The 25,000 Union prisoners confin t Millen, ‘would be a tempting bait for Sherman in that direction, (being on the direct line from Atlan-. ta toSavannah,) and by arapid cavalry dash they might be secured, though it is gprobable that on the first knowledge of Sherman’s ad- vance towards the Atlantic const, (such as the Richmond papers indicate he is successfull, accomplishing) the rebels would make haste Temove their prisoners to a safer place of con- finement. Onderkirk says that the rebels counted much upon McClelan’s election, when they thought the war would soon be over and the Oonfeder- ate independence achieved.

At the present time there are employed in the Navy Yard 1,295 men, 26 apprentices, and 23 boys. This does not inclnde those employed in the ordnance department, who number be- tween six and seven hundred. Thus it will be seen that nearly 2,00) men and boys are em- ployed here in the various departments, and ‘we venture to assert that their wore will com- pare favorably with the work turned out in any other part of the country. The King Phillip, Capt. Frank, returned to the yard this merning from Norfolk, she hay- ing taken down a lot of freight to that locality and twenty-three apprentice boys, who were placed on board the frigate Sabine, (now the school ship,) in Hampton Roads, where they will be initiated into the mysteries ef the nau- tical profession.

The mail steamer Thomas Collyer arrived here this morning from City Point, but orings no news of any active military operations. She brought up 4 number of rebel deserters, among whom was one officer—Lieut. W. R. Warden, of the 40th Virginia intantry. These deserters took the oath at Uity Poin, and were furnished with transportation North. The Collyer also brought up a woman and her six children as refugees from the South.

Advance of the Rebels—Their with Heavy Loss. HSBADQUARTERS SrxTH ARMY Cogs, Mid- “Military Department, Nov. 12.—A cayairy mish took place yesterday afternoon be- ©en our cavalry under Custer and Merritt and the rebelcayalry. Tne heaviest firing was on the left of our ne. Acting under orders «viously issued, our cavalry commenced ng back very rapidiv when the rebels first ad\vanced. Continuing to adyance, the rebels ceme suddenly upon our reserve, when they were received with several heavy volleys and hastily retreated. The object of this recon- noissance on the part of the rebels was doubt- less to feel our strength and ascertain our po- sition on the new line taken up by our troops on the 9th inst. General Sheridan’s army now lies encamped near Kearnstown, abont four miles to the south of Winchester. The ground wenow occupy is the same on which Gen. Shelds tought Stone- wall Jackson, and finally drove him back to Cedar Creek. HEADQUARTERS SIXTH ARMY Uorrs, INTHE Fizip Ngar KEARNSTOWN, ¥A., Nov. 12,3 p. m.—Gen’l Sheridan’s change of position from Cedar Creek to Kearnstown has induced the Rebels to again advance down the Valley. At an early hour this morning skirmishing was resumed with great briskness along the whole cavairy line, but the Rebels were rather weak in numbers or spirit, for they could not be in- duced to follow up our pickets, who, in obedi- epce fellrapidly back when the firing com- menced. This system of tactics not seeming to draw the enemy on to our main lines, General Sheridan sent off a large force of cavalry tor the purpose of coaxing a fight out of the Rebels. Our men are in high spirits at the prospect of baying another fight before the campaign closes, and hope that the Rebels have brought a large number of guns down with them. MARTINSEURG, Va., Nov. 13.—Important news is just in from Gen. Sheridan, up to mid- night. The strategic reconnoissance by our cavalry on Friday caused the enemy’s cavalry, ui der Lomax, to advance against our lines on Si urday morning. Considerable fighting en- encd, during which the enemy were repulsed wiih great loss. General Sheridan then or- gered Colonel Powell to pursue them in their flight; this he did with the greatest vigor and success. He drove them through and beyond Front Royal, and captured two guns, one hun- dred and fifty prisoners, several wagons and a large number of horses. Our losses are said to have been considerable, as the fighting was extremely warm for a short time. Io infantry Was engaged, but Generals Sheridan and Torvert were both at the front in person with the cavalry, and made very short work of the oie Col. Powell conducted the pursuit very handsomely, and fairly merits the success which attended it. TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. a FROM JAMES RIVER.
