We now jogged and joited along a shady lang through the wood for severa! miles. Two farmiouses which we passed were apparently deserted, though the wheat lay stacked an tho field, From one poor hut two negresnes peered ont, but they conkd not give much information about the country, At last, the driver, distaounting, made his way toa farmhovss, and was told we had got out- side tho line of pickets,-and had taken the wrong fond. My friends were Unionists and abolitionists, Even the keen oyes of sconting Sontherners might not perceive the marks of neutrality in the quarrel, which onght to serve as a shield to rif bullets, hore was probably no feaaon at all to be uneasy, thongh there were many to re- traco our stops, and it is mover pl asant, as those know who accompanied Lord Raglan on that hot September day in his ride throngh the Mackenzie brushwood, to be tering through the greenwood g'ades man enemy's coun. try without any knowledge of his whereabouts. And so our charioteer diverted his steeds from their course, and after a solitary drive of more miles, through more forest, ap and down hills and valleys, he remarked, “We're among them now, any way, whether sechesers or not.”? Onder the trees by the roadside a sentry “walked his lonely round,’ and the rays which pierced the glade flash- ed back from the polished barrels of the picket beyond. Jehu strained his cyes and announced, “We are all right. They're our own side.

The camp of his.

The Colonel—a deed man, with an Ttatian face and clos*ly cropped binck hair— was seated in hia shirt, in the headquarters tent, busy with regimental atfairs, and surromuded by afticers, His reception was simple and cordial, and, among others whore acquaintance we made, was Licut.

His bronzed face, heavy beard and moustache, white flannel shirt and Jong’ thick riding boots, made one think of | the gallant swordsmen wko led our — Pun{abee | horse far away in Hindostan, and whom “in style and cut’ he somewhat resembled. He told us ft is only the enemy's pickets that fire on the { sontries; his men have strict orders not to pull atnigger | without express command. While we were engazed in talking, two wen entered the tent—the armores, with a musket barrel in his hand, and a man whom Ne accused of calting him names, because he could not get his fire Jock in order. . The Colonel heard the complaint, listened | to a wrangle vory quietly, and dismissed the case by a } Solomonian judgtent; but the easy way in which the ; men entered and went out of the presence was imusing | to a manu who hss sean European colonels in ul their | glory.

The work isa redoubt, with | bastions and dry ditch, closed by palisades and stockades, | and mounts. I should think, about twelve guns, twen! four or thirty-two pounders. It was too hot to imake a ( very minute iuspection; the tents were pucked clese, and | there were signs inside that when the regiment moves a j gocd deal of baggage aud boxes must be left behind.

These works may be yegarded in the light of an extenlve tale tepont on the Virginian side of the Long Bridge; and Bioforce now available for their immediate doftnice raust bo taken to be at least 8,00 men, with three fletd batteries, 4n addition to guns of position, which cannot be less than twenty pieces, besides some detached guns and howitzers. Arlington Heighta was incinded in the visit, but enough has Deen said of the camp already, and so the party returned to Washington. It needs not to be said that the destruction ‘of property wbeut the camps is considerable.

Parliament was rapidly disposing of the remai business on hand. In the House of Commons, on the Ist of August, Mr. Grimith made some inquiries as to the alleged employment of forced labor on the Suez Canal. Lord Paimerston said that there was a considerable amount of forced labor on those works. The men were paid Nberally for their work, but they wore bronght to the spot forcibly.

Bowyer that the British governiyent woul vse its influence to stop the oppression and military despotiem which prevailed in the Neapoli- tan territories, said that goverminent would do nothing of the kind. On the contrary, he hoped the Italian genara's woukl succeed in effectuaiiy patting down the horrible system of brigandage which prevailed, and which was foutered by emiesariex from Roms. Mr. Grifith asked whether there was auy intention on the part of the government to altow a: wropean Power to obtain posseseion of Tetuan, or of any part of the coast of Morocco, inthe Mediterranean, with reference to the securhy of the fortress of Gibraltar, Lord Patmerston said, the Moorish government being ninable (o pay the suin agreed upon unter tho treaty of peace with Spain, it bad given rise lo long negd- ing cability of ‘al Powers tintions and a’ protracted occupation of | ‘Teenan by Spanish forces.
