READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGS, | BEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIC AND OTHEB MATTER, Terrible Disaster on James River, | TOTAL DESTRUCTION OF GEN. ROTLER’S DiSPATCH LOAT GREYHOUND BY FIRE. 1 ee NARROW ESCAPE OF GEN. BUTLER, GEN. | SCHENCK, ADMIRAL PORTER, | AND OTHERS. ee Loss OF THE ARMY MAIL AND TEN HOBSES BELONGING TO GEN. BUTLER ND STA = The mail steamer Daniel Webster, Captain Charles Deering, arrived here this morning from City Point with the mails and passen- ers. : She reports that yesterday morning heavy cannonading was heard at City Pointfrom the direction of Petersburg, but as this is of fre- quent occurrence it may have been occasioned | by the nsual artillery duelling. On Wednesday night last the rebels madea sudden attack on our pickets stationed near Broadway Landing, on the Appomattox. The attack was speedily repulsed, and the ground lost by our menin the surprise retaken. Owing | to the rain and darkness of the night the rebels were enabled to gobble up @ colonel and forty | men. ‘When the Webster was coming down the | James river yesterday, and when near Hog Island, sbe discovered signals of distress being made to her from the steamer Greyhound, General Butler's dispatch boat. Upon nearing the Greyhound she was tound to be on fire. | General Butler, General Schenck, and Admiral | Porter were on the Greyhound, but the steamer | Pioneer came up and took them off. They ‘were afterwards transferred to the tug Colum- bus and conyeved to Fortress Monroe. The ‘Webster took off the crew and passengers of | f, rn the Greybound. The Greyhound had been up to City Point, ‘and was on her return when the accident oc. curred. Gen. Butlerand bis friends were at dinner at the time, when suddenly the fire doors blew open and scattered the coals allover the | floor, driving the firemen and engineer frem theirrooms. The Greyhound was almost im- | mediately enveloped in flames, and notwith- | Standing every effort to saye her, she burnt to the waters edge. Ten horses (belonging to Gen. Butler and { staff) which were on the Greyhound were | burnt to death Shortly before the accident the Greyhound had received from the steamer Cossack the army mails for Gen. Butler's department, which | left Washirgton yesterday morning, and they are supposed to be lost. Thoboat Greyhound wasa fine, large steamer, of sbout 500 tons measurement, and was built | in New York, as we understand, tor the North River trade. She was owned or employed by he (luartermaster’s department, and being | very swift, was assigned for the use of General | Butler as a dispatch boat. The Webster brought up fifty-nime rebel de- | serters under charge of Lieut. Freleigh anda | detachment of men of the 20th New York mi- | | litia. eee ae The British Peace Address—Secretary | Seward Rejiuses to Receive It. About six weeks ago Mr. Joseph Parker, of | Manchester, England, arrived at New York, | bringing with him the « Peace Address of Sub- jects of Great Britain and Ireland,” with a | detter from Sir Henry De Houghton to Gov. | Seymour, who declined tormally to receive it, | Sssigning as a reason tat it should be given to | the President of the United States, the latter being the only authorized channel of commau- nication between other nations and the citizens | of the United States: and, besides, Gov. Sey- mour said that his official position did not au- thorize him to accept the address on behalf of other States, and that it would be better to withhold the document until after the Presi- dential election, so as to avoid the appear: of interfering in the canvases. Mr. Parker con- formed to these suggestions, and having ar- rived here last week, addressed a note to Sec- Tetary Seward, stating that he had been depu- ted to convey to this country the address to the people of the United States, and asking the honor of an opportunity of presenting it to the President. To this the Secretary replied that before Answering the letter it was desirable to be further informed whether Mr. Parker had | authority from the Government of Great | Britain and Preland for the purpose referred to, and whether his mission had been made known to the diplomatic agent of that Goy- ernment near the Government of the United States. Mr. Parker replied by saying that theaddress he bad che honor of being deputed by the par- ties signing it to bring to this country, contain. | ing the signatures of some three hundred and fifty thousand of his countrymen from the peer to the artizan, was not from the government of Great Britain, nor from any political party. It was simply an expression of the earnest de- sire of Great Britain to see peaceagain restored to this continent. ‘The correspondence closed by 4 note from the Secretary of State, in which he said the govern- ment of the United States could not receive the address, and that the request for an interview ‘with the President was therefore declined. ‘This address has already been published, and is signed by many Southern sympathizers, who ask the Government of the United States to cease hostilities against that section of the coun- try. The intention now is to present the address to Congress at the approaching session. i Church will continue their interesting ir at Odd Fellows’ Hall, 7h st.. until Wednes- lay might, November Sith.

Richmond papers of Saturday last, (the 26th,) let out as littlé as possible about Sherman's movements, but virtually admit that he is suc. cessfully making his way towards the sea coast, and give asa reason for their reticehce in regard to his line of march that they do not wish to give the Yankees information as to what point on the seaboard he is aiming at, lest they should send supplies to meet him there, and they (the rebels) hope to starve him before he receives such supplies. The tone of the rebel papers is very blue for the Confede- rate cause. THB PIRATE FLORIDA SUNK. The following despatches were received at the Navy Department to-day : FORTRESS MONROE, Noy. 28.—Hon.

LOCAL NEWS. TRE MerRopotrran RAILROAD Company. This new fake railway com; , Of which Mr.§. P. Brown is president, is ac- tivel: ie work, a laying the eprinears geeks on rei for commenc: usiness. . ‘The track nde been inte und id ance of Mr. Li a extends along D’ stree of the City Eye gives them the right to run the track along the east ace Ss = areey. avenue; = aes = Baltimore ut possession is nine-ten of the law, and the hackmen and porters while in possession of the ground could not be dis- a Either for this reason, or for the Pi of mot interfering wi'h the business operations of the railroad during the day, the company laid the track during the night, last night, putting a large force of workmen on the ground, with fires to light them in their oper- ations, and this morning at daylight lo and behold, the track in front of the railroad sta- tion was nearly down! Considerable hard teeling was expressed on the part of the hackmen and hotel porters this morning, who think that this isan encroach- ment upon their rights, but no acts of violence ‘were committed. Doubtless the aggrieved parties will test the matter of the company’s right, under the char- ter, to occupy the ground. I. will be remem- bered that the Washington and (Georgetown Street Railroad Company were compelled to take up their track on the same ground after laying it, and the hackmen, though temporari- ly ousted, in the end came off triumphant. The Metropolitan road, or sueh portion of it as is now in progress, will be completed in the early part of next week, and the cars, which are now on the road, being expected by that time, we may expect to see the new road in operation by the 10th of December. The depot of the company will be, we understand, on 17th street, below the War Department. Eriscorat.—On Saturda: any Church, Rey.
