he responsibility of paying the New York regiments here about $20,000, which had been deposited some time at Old Point awaiting the arrival of a paymaster. The ship Fair Wind, of Boston, with a cargo of guano, was this morning towed up the Roads by the steamer S. R Spaulding, in a disabled condition, having been ashore at Hog Island. The British ship-of-war Gladiator was yesterday cruising off the Capes. A flag of truce yesterday conveyed Mr. Whalen, former U. S. Minister to Nicaragua, to the Confederates' pickets beyond New Market bridge. A flag of truce is just in from Norfolk, with Corporal Hulburt, of the First Connecticut Regiment, released by the Confederates for his attention to Colonel Gardiner, after the battle of Bull Run. He states that a considerable number of released ministers, including several chaplains, will reach Old Point tomorrow. In his opinion the Confederates are actively preparing for an attack upon Fortress Monroe. That measure is no

g, nevertheless, to read Yankee speculations upon this subject. The New York Herald, for instance, stealing the thunder of the New York Times, gravely tells us, upon the faith of a paragraph in the London Times, that England, in obtaining her supplies hereafter, will entirely ignore the Southern States--that she will get an extra half million from India this year, and eventually more — that she will cultivate vast quantities in Australia — that she has obtained leave to settle a colony in Nicaragua, and, in a word, that the Southern States will soon lose altogether the market for their great staple. A gloomy picture the Herald draws for the Southern States, unless they repent and consent once more to return to the bosom of Abraham--There are, however, several little drawbacks to the perfection of this grand scheme, which it hints at, and which have to be removed, before it can command the full success to which the wisdom of its conception entitles it. For instance, in India the cott

until further orders. The enemy had meanwhile a vance to within three or four miles, and several skirmishes had taken place between his outposts and the remaining cavalry of the Legion under Major Bacon, formerly Captain of Mounted Rangers in Nicaragua, and afterward aid to Gen. Garnett, and wounded by the side of that General when he fell.--The rest of the cavalry was still under its gallant Colonel, J. L. Davis, and Lieut.-Col. Clarkson, south of New river, where they had pushed a daring anion, of which Col. Henningsen is Colonel, (but in consequence of his having charge of the infantry and artillery under the immediate command of Lieut.-Col. Frank Anderson, who distinguished himself by the daring exploit of capturing Castillo in Nicaragua, with 45 men, after Lockbridge and Titus had failed with 800.) Capt. Imboden's, Capt. Lewis's, and Capt. Crane's University company were the companies engaged, with one six-pounder and one howitzer, under Major Gibbes, of South Carolina, Capt.

t to in Southern prisons. Among the prisoners are many officers lately connected with the army and navy of the United States. Before the arrival of the rebel ministers the following were the most prominent personages confined here: Ex-Minister to France Faulkner; ex-Governor Morehead, of Kentucky; Mayor Brown, of Baltimore, a most perfect counterpart of the rebel General Beauregard; Marshal Kane, Messrs. Howard, Catchell, and Davis, Police Commissioners of Baltimore; Parker H. French, of Nicaragua notoriety; Colonel Tyler, of Bull Run Black Horse Cavalry; Colonels Pegram and Deleguil, and Commodore Barron. The scene of the parade ground during the day is quite animated and full of interest.--Men of all ranks and professions are here thrown together, all in a greater or less degree connected with the event which has attracted the attention of the whole world, and which has caused the blood of brothers to flow as water.

d dignity that won her hosts of admirers. She is of medium height and fine form. Her eye is hazel, splendid and speaking. Her face is not what a sickly stripling fresh from college would call handsome, but it beams with gentleness, affection, intelligence and determination. Mrs. McClellan was modestly but richly attired. She retired with the General at an early hour. Secretaries Cameron, Smith, and Welles, and ladies, were present, also Assistant Secretaries Scott, of the War Department, and Seward, of the State Department, with their ladies. The great fact which marked the levee with some degree of importance, and which may hereafter be quoted as significant is, that the Ministers of England, France, Spain, and Prussia did not appear at the levee; but the Ministers of Russia, Sweden, Bremen, and Nicaragua were present, and the Russian Minister was especially cordial in his conversation with the President. The miscellaneous company was quite brilliant and anonymous.

The Herald's Nicaraguan correspondent says: The civil war in the United States and the blockade of the Southern ports have stimulated the cultivation essing, bailing and exporting the cotton. Its culture will undoubtedly become general and profitable. The soil, climate, and labor are eminently adapted to it. Nicaragua will export the incoming year five hundred thousand pounds of ginned cotton, equal in quality to Mississippi middling fair. The hardy Indians (men and women) of Nicaragua are fully able to till the fields and harvest her agricultural wealth. Coolies are the most objectionable class, either as labored of colonists; they have no interest other than the wages which they earn; negroes are not to be thought of. I am satisfied that both the people and Government would oppose their introduction

teur. Tom Dolan says that the fight on Roanoke Island was a very respectable one, and from his scars and experience in Nicaragua he should be a judge of such matters. We know of him, that the last time he was wounded at the battle of St. George byelming force, which, to do justice to an enemy, displayed great bravery. They were, besides, supported by a handful of Nicaragua veterans, who, I am proud to say, showed their accustomed gallantry, Major Schermerhorn, reported wounded, and volunteering on this occasion, was wounded five times in ten fights in Nicaragua; Anderson, the Commander of the barricade, was the man who took Castillo, Williamson, who during the fight took command of Captain Lewis's company, (Captain Lewis still being d received through the body at Camp Defiance,) was the hero of several out of twenty fights in which he made his mark in Nicaragua; Major Bacon, who had commanded a company of Rangers there, was with Col. Pegram when taken at Rich Mountain, was

Battle Incidents. At the battle of Coal Harbor, in Hanover county, on the 27th of June last, Geo. B. Hall, Colonel of the first regiment of the Sickles brigade, was killed. In Nicaragua he was Gen. Walker's Chief of Ordnance, and conducted himself tolerably. In New York city he was known as a swaggering barroom leader and scoundrel, very ready both to give offence and creep out of the consequences by making abject apologies. Such is his character as portrayed by these who knew him well. George B. Hall, the "notorious buster ," perished thus ignobly. He was the eldest son of the ex-Mayer of Brooklyn, N. Y. In the same battle was killed Col. Sam Black, of Pittsburg. He commanded the 1st Pennsylvania regiment. In former Col. Black commanded (in the Mexican war) the 2d Pennsylvania regiment, Col. Wynkeep commanding the 1st. He distinguished himself in Mexico by various acts of gallantry. As a lawyer he stood high. His eloquence on the forum was undoubted. During th
