from the border — Lincoln's Minions and their out-rages--Col. Ashby's Cavalry — removal of Railway material, &c., &c. Shepherdstown, Va., Sept. 7th, 1861. Since my last letter nothing of vast public importance has transpired hereabouts, and I merely send these "few lines" because "I've nothing else to do." The Massachusetts marauders, whose out-rages have been chronicled, have left, and their station is filled by a worse band — if that were possible. We have now to contend with a regiment of the off-scouring of creation — men of the lowest grade of character, whose only object in view is rapine and plunder — a free-booting regiment of Baltimore "Plug-Uglies." This bandit now occupies and possesses the Northern bank of the Potomac, and keeps strict vigilance over the river at this point. The blockade here is complete, effectual and strictly enforced! All communication with the United States is now entirely cut off. If it were possible, the "birds of

less or more, and who seem to look down upon all other soldiers — Americans, English, Germans, &c.--from the top of the tower of Solferino or the Malakoff. I should be sorry to pass a rash judgment upon brave compatriots, who appear to me to be very careless, very gay, very sociable; but I cannot help reflecting upon what series of adventures have been able to bring these Parisians from the Place Manbert to the shores of the Potomac, there to risk their lives for the greater glory of President Lincoln, at the rate of eleven dollars per month. Seriously, I do not believe that the eleven dollars go for everything. At first, with more clearness of vision than Americans, English and Germans, they appeared to me to reckon little upon the eleven dollars; but what I can certify is, that they are quite insensible to the glory of the flag with the thirty-four stars and the fate of the unfortunate negroes. You see by this what the weak side of all this organization is; it is not an aff

f this sort, for it is to foreigners they unfold their plans, pleas, and excuses. "The latest letter of Lord John Russell declares that the issue is narrowing down to the question of slavery and abolitionism, and expresses the opinion that President Lincoln will soon declare all slaves within the United States free." Fremont, the lieutenant of Lincoln in Missouri, has anticipated his chief in respect to that State, and the chief has publicly given out that he cordially concurs in the MissLincoln in Missouri, has anticipated his chief in respect to that State, and the chief has publicly given out that he cordially concurs in the Missouri proclamation. The telegraph announces that the greatest activity is discernible in the Washington Navy-Yard, and a war organ in Cincinnati boasts that "the next we know, a mighty fleet, with ten thousand men aboard, will open one of our cotton ports; that the profound repose which the Southern coast and the nests of conspirators in the Cotton States have been permitted to enjoy, will soon be seriously disturbed." Nothing is plainer than that a change of the theatre and plan of the wa

had sent it for safe-keeping. It has not transpired whether any property of the implicated New York party has been seized, or his arrest ordered. The Government will doubtless hold whatever other property it can lay hands upon, saying that the gamesters in question knew they were playing with one who was using public money; but added to this is the penalty of imprisonment for violating the law concerning gambling in the District of Columbia. What the Greeks say. A sketch of Lincoln's message appears in Greek, which has quite a classical tang, in the Hemera "To-day" of July 14--26, (14th of Old Style.) This journal is published at Trieste for the Greek population of the Levant. From the Boston Courier's literal translation we take the following: It is said that the President of the seceding, Mr. Davis, sent letters to the President of the United, but he sent them back without giving an answer. At this many ask if the Northern States of America conquer the S

Russia and the war in America. The Northern papers report that the Russian Minister at Washington had an audience with Abraham Lincoln last Saturday, and read to him the following dispatch: Price Gortscakoff to Baron De Stoeckl. St. Petersburg, July 10, 1861. M. De Stoeckl, &c.: Sir --From the beginning of the conflict which divides the United States of America you have been desired to make known to the Federal Government the deep interest with which our august master was observing the development of a crisis which puts in question the prosperity and even the existence of the Union. The Emperor profoundly regrets to see that the hope of a peaceful solution is not realized, and that American citizens already in arms are ready to let loose upon their country the most formidable of the scourges of political society — a civil war. For more than eighty years that it has existed the American Union owes its independence, its towering rise and its progress, to the conc
