Catro, Nov. 16, via St, Lovis.—The tin-clad gunboat Rattler was recently agreed to be sold to the rebels by her commander at Hern Point, below here. The information is rather indefinite, but it is said that the commande! 80 disposed of the men on board as to vent resistance to her delivery Asmall boat approached her on the night she was to be delivered, but a subordinate offi- cer on board had his suspicions aroused, and fired a revolver at the rebels, who were fright- ened away. The affair was subsequently investigated, when it was discovered that the commander of the gunboat had already received $200,004), and other payments were to be made in cotton. The commander was arrested, but escaped. He declared he would command a privateer and give the Yankees “hell.” The rebels intended to use the Rattler in capturing the gunboat General Bragg.

The following we take from the Marlboro’ Gazette of yesterday: William A. Jarboe, Esq., tendered to the or- phans’ court on yesterday his resignation as register of wills of Prince George’s county, an office that he has filled for many years with great credit to himself and usefulness to the people of the county. The court appointed Adolphus H. Lambert to fill the vacancy oc- casioned by Mr. Jarboe’s resignation. A number of applications were made to the orphans’ court of this county at their meeting yesterday to have negro children bound fora term of years under the apprentice laws of Maryland. In all cases the applications were for orphan children, or by the consent of pa- rents. The court decided that Gen. Wallace, of Baltimore, had, by military order, taken out of the hands of the civil authorities the man- agement and care of this class of persons, and that therefore they declined toact upon the ap- plications at this time. Pursuant to a public call, a large number of farmers and others met at the Court House, in Upper Marlborongb, on Wednesday last, the 9th instant, to take into consideration the con- dition of the negroes now residing in the county, declared free by the proclamation of the Goy- ernor, and te adoptsome uniform rate ot wages, and mode of hiring. Hon. Samuel H. Berry was called to the chair, and Adolphus H. Lam- bert, Esq, was appointed secretary. It was suggested that & committee be appointed to recommend a plan of action to the meeting.» and the following gentlemen were appointed to compose said committee: Vansville—George W. Duvall, of George; Marlborougb—Henry W. Clagett, Robert A. Clagett, Samuel H. Berry, Wm. P. Pumphrey, and Charles Clagett; Nottingham —Wm. N. Dorsett, Alexander P. Hill, Dr. John H. Skin- ner, and Fielder Bowie; Piscataway—Daniel R. Dyer; Queen Anne—Thomas E. Berry, Richard L. Ogle, and Geo. A. Mitchell; Sur- Tattse—Wm. A. Jarboe.

Resolved, That it is the duty of the citizens of Prince George’s county to take into their most serious consideration the present con- dition of the negro population, declared free by the recent proclamation of Gov. Bradford, and itis the duty of every good citizen to con- form to the following resolves, as ‘the best means to insure the well-being of the citizens of the county, as also that of the negroes. That we hereby agree that we will not em- ploy any negro tor ordinary field service, ex- cept by the year, and we earnestly recommend it to the citizens ef the county. That we will not offer any inducement to any negro to leave his or her present employer with a view of procuring his or her services, That it being the desire of this meeting to do ample justice to this unfortunate people, we recommend the following scale of wages. First class negro men, wages not to exceed $120 perannum and board; first class negro ‘women, without children, wages not to exceed #60 per annum and board; boys, under eighteen years, wages not to exceed $60 per annum and board. That the subject of these resolations be rec- ommended to the consideration and adoption of the people of this county, and that their con- currence in said resolutions be expressed at meetings to be held in the several election dis- tricta at the usual places of holding elections or such other places as may be determined on by the people in said districts, on the 19th day of November. ‘The recommendations of the committee were unanimously adopted. FrnanctaL.—The New xork Evening Post says: ‘tne most important topic in Wall street this morning is the gratifying advance in all des- cription of government bonds. This is attri- buted in part to the rapid decadence of the re- bellion, And in part to the increased demand for these safe lucrative securities by investors in all parts of the country. Gold opened at 240, and gradually fell on rumors of peace propositions and of army movements, to 233, closing at 233}. The loan market is unchanged. A number ot 7 per cent. loans were paid off to-day. Commercial paper is quiet at 74a10 per cent. The stock market opened strong on govern- ments, and weak on railroad shares. The Commercial Advertiser says : Goods Auctions.—Messrs. Haggerty & Co, offered for sale, this morning, a general assort- ment of dry goods, Irish linens, handkerchiefs, &c. The ppices on most descriptions of goods ranged od six to eight percent. over former sales. Notwithstanding the advance, many lots were passed, the prices not meeting the views of the holders. Messrs, Wilmerding, Hoguet & Co. had a special sale of hosiery, gloves, &c., the importation of Messrs. Hous. man & Co. Prices were firm, and, if anything, a fraction higher. Some of the heavier styleof gloves met with a ready sale, and were gener. ally duplicated. Mersrs. Kobbe & Corlies had a large and desirable sate of millinery goods, the importation of Messrs. Soleliac Freres, The styles and descriptions of the goods were yery fine, and prices were fully sus- tained. ‘Mesers.

Nov.10 11) be remembered that General Sheri - dan, in one of bis officiai despatches from the Valley, stated that Captain Meigs, ofthe Engi- neer service of his army, had been murdered by Confederates, and that in retaliation he had orderedto be burned every house within five miles of the scene of the crime.” After along essay on the rules of war, in which the editor grows ferociouson Sheridan for hile retaliatory measures, he concludes: “Three Confederate soldiers, underfiead of —, one of our bravest and most accomplished scouts, Were on a reconnoissance, when they diecovered the near iy weap of three Fede- rais. On the instant y reined aside and awaited their arrival. They proved to be Oap- tain Meigs and two attendants. Our soldiers immediately ordered them to surrender, each of our men confronting one of the Federals. Captain Meigs, who rode in front, wasin this manner summoned by the leader of the Oonfed- erate scouts. “ His twe followers surrendered onthe word; but Captain Meigs was of a different spirit. Drawing his pistol he fired on his antagonist, inflicting a very severe and itis supposed & mortal Wound. The ball entered the right brest, and made its exit on the opposite side of the body Wounded as be was,the Confederate then delivered fire, which proved fatal. Capt Meigs died on the instant. « Ai.xious on account of the wound of their Jeatex, the other two Confederates betook themmelves to Bass preparations for bringing off their comrade. In haste and contusion of the moment one of the Federal prisonera made Bis escape; the other was bronght off. The person of Captain Meigs was notexamined for the same reason, and the opportunity of cap- turing the valuable rs he bore was lost. it was not until afterwards, indeed, thatit was known who he was. “It will be pleasing to our readers to be in- formed that the wounded Confederate was safely brought within our lines, and that his condition is now very promising. It is sup- posed that the ball struck a riband made the circuit of his body, instead of passing through. An actor in many a gallant contlictin the past, he will doubtless be soon again in the service. + Oaptain Meigs died a soldier's death, and not without honor. It was no fanlt of his quick steady hand that his antagonist did not not die instead ot him. The fortune of the fight was against him and he fetl.”” ifthere was any evidence needed to confirm General Sheridan’s belief that he was mar- dered by some of the farmer guerrillas that infest that region, it will be found in the above Rebel story; the anonymous scouts were farmers inside cur lines, and sailied out to bushwhack our orderlies and play the spy. The orderly who escaped says these farmers were riding along,and had on oil cloth blankets ; they were thonght to be our men, and in overtaking Captain Meigs they seized the heads of all their horses, and pointing pistols to their heads, all three surrendered. Thea hindmost guerrilla fired twice, Captain Meigs exclaiming several times, “I surrender! I surrender! He, being shot through the head, must have died suddenly, and could not have returned the Rebel fire.—#altimore American.
