gineer George W. McElroy. The blowers were put on, and the speed increased to 17 knots without causing a tube to leak or a brass to heat. Lieut. Thomas C. Wood, Lieut. George H. Norman, Jr., and Ensign John T. Edson not only controlled the fire of the guns in their divisions and prevented waste of ammunition, but they also did some excellent shooting themselves. Acting assistant Surgeon J. F. Bransford took charge of one of the guns, and fired it himself occasionally. Acting assistant Paymaster Alexander Brown had charge of the two Colt guns, firing one himself, and they did excellent work. Assistant Engineer A. M. Proctor carried my orders from the bridge, and occasionally fired a gun when I found it was not being served quite satisfactorily. All were cool and active at a time when they could have had but little hope of escaping uninjured. Lieutenants Wood and Norman, Ensign Edson and assistant Engineer Proctor were in charge of the boats engaged in saving life. They all r

Gov. Brown, of Georgia, has issued a proclamation for the effective organization of the militia for the defence of the coast.
Wholesale arrests in Maryland. Baltimore, Sept. 14. --The Provost Marshal at daylight on yesterday arrested Mayor Brown, Ross Winans, Charles and F. Lawrence, S. T. Wallis, and L. P. Scott, members of the Legislature, and delivered them to the commander of Fort McHenry. Congressman May and legislators Henry M. Morfit, and W. G. Harrison, are reported to have been arrested. It is also reported that Benj. G. Howard, the peace candidate for Governor, has been arrested; and also Dennison Giventeur and Dr. Lynch, members from Baltimore county, and J. Hall, the editor of the Baltimore South. The Maryland Legislature was to have met on Tuesday. [In the names of the members of the Legislature from Baltimore arrested, as stated in the above message, there are evidently several mistakes. We give below a list of all the members from Baltimore, which will enable the reader to correct these errors. apprehend that all these members who have not escaped will be put under
hdraw his fleet, being satisfied that the city cannot be taken by water. The arrival of the steamer Roanoke at New York Tuesday announces the fact that another privateer is at large on the ocean. It appears that Captain Scott, of the United States steamer De Sote, informed Captain Drew, of the Roanoke, that he heard, from reliable quarters, that there was a rebel privateer cruising to the westward of Havana, she being a bark rigged steamer, painted lead color. This is important, especially as it concerns the Aspinwall line of steamers. The last news from Europe brings intelligence of the death of Sir William Brown, of Liverpool, a son of Alexander Brown, of Baltimore. Mr. F. Waldron is the person who tells the story of the alleged interview, at the battle of Antietam, between Generals McClellan and Lee. His respectability is said to be indorsed by General Milroy. He is now at Washington, whither he has been summoned to give his testimony before the War Committee.
ers of the British Cabinet; and the result of his efforts was the opening of communication with Earl Russell, which led to the stoppage of these formidable instruments of war. The New York Times says: Sir William was an able and successful merchant; for many years a useful Member of Parliament for Lancashire, and always a staunch and influential friend in England of the United States and their Government. He was a native of the North of Ireland, born before the emigration of his father, Alexander Brown, of Baltimore, to this country. The junior brothers were, we believe, all born on this side, and of these, Mr. Jas. Brown, of New York, and Mr. Jno. A. Brown, of Philadelphia, survive him. His grandson, and the grandson also on the mother's side of Mr. James Brown, of this city, succeeds to the title and landed estates of the deceased Baronet. The value of the whole estate which he has left to his heirs is probably not less than seven millions sterling money, or $85,000,000.
