t for the troops to recross the Bay. Major yodges, one of the "distinguished" Yankee prisoners taken, told our officers that Colonel Brown, the commander at Fort Pickens, would open his batteries on them yesterday last night; but, up to 9 o'clock, when the rain left, no demonstration had been made far wounded were being well cared for by the ladies of Pensacola. Another gun-boat fight.[correspondence of the Memphis Argus.] Camp Johnston, near Columbus, Monday, Oct. 7, 1861. Dear Argus: I have just time to give you ome facts of an attack by the Lincoln gunboats on Columbus this morning. At about, 10 o'clock heavy firing was heard round the bend, immediately back of Camp Jackson, and in about twenty minutes Commodore Marsh Miller's gun-boat (the Grampus) came flying round the point, closely pursued by our of the Lincoln gun-boats, throwing shell very rapidly. As soon as they arrived within ange, the upper batteries, composed of three or four thirty-twos end our rifl

Unexpected Announcement. The Memphis (Tenn.) Argus, of the 14th, announces the death of the Right Rev. Bishop, Meade, of Virginia. This must be an error or the occurrence has taken place (where, the Argus does not say) very suddenly. Bishop Meade was in Richmond two weeks ago in the enjoyment of good health.

How to Promote the health of the soldiers. Editors Dispatch.--There are many things in the army so exceedingly misunderstood by gentlemen who know nothing about the practical workings of camp life, that it is no wonder editors and writers sometimes blame officers where no blame can be attached. The editor of one of your dailies whose Argus eye is looking everywhere, spies out, among others, the followers of Esculspits, and fancies that they are the authors of the terrible scourges that afflect our army. The writer of this knows nothing of the facts alluded to, but he has known sufficient of camp life and the transportation of sick soldiers, to be convinced that all the wisdom of the profession cannot correct many causes of sickness and suffering in the army. The means to do so must come from officials, who neither know anything about the hygiene of camps, or the propriety of affording all possible means to avoid disease and mitigate the suffering of the sick. The port to

en. --Yesterday evening, Mr. Ellermann, the well-known proprietor of the Washington Brewery, on Commerce street, committed suicide by taking twenty grains of morphine, which he had procured for the purpose. After supper he informed his wife that he intended committing suicide. She attempted to dissuade him from entertaining any such ridiculous ideas, and be then informed her that he would abandon the design, and left the house, stating that he was going up the street. It seems that he proceeded immediately to a drug store, procured the morphine, and returned. Upon re-entering his residence he informed Mrs. Ellermann that he had taken the poison, and laid down on a bed. A physician was at once procured, and the proper emetines were administered, but every effort proved unavailing, and death ended his sufferings at 4 o'clock this morning. Mr. Ellermann was an old resident of this city, and generally costeened. He leaves a wife and one child.--Memphis (Tenn,) Argus, 31st Oct.

Col. Wm. Mahone, of this city, has been promoted to be a Brigadier-General in the Confederate Army. Lieut. Col. Thomas J. Corprew has been appointed a full Colonel. The New Opera House will be opened tomorrow evening for the first appearance in our city of the Queen Sisters, from Charleston, S. C. The case of those persons arrested on a charge of keeping a gaming house, will come up for examination in the Mayor's Court today. Hon. S. T. Sawyer, formerly editor of the Southern Argus, recently passed through our city, and is now in Government service in North Carolina. His family are sojourning at the Atlantic Hotel in this city. The children of the Howard Orphan Asylum have been removed to the handsome building on Holt street, known as the Norfolk Female Orphan Asylum, and the two institutions combined in one, are under the supervision of Mrs. Walker, who had charge of the last-named establishment several years ago. We had a heavy frost here this morning, and

consistency would seem to demand this of us. Captain Wilkes has done the very thing, in principle, for which we went to war with England for doing. It is true that the right of search exists in a time of war, and veers in the belligerent; but this forcible seizure of political prisoners, when under the protection of a neutral flag, is unjustifiable, and ought to be repudiated by the United States Government. We speak of the case only as the telegraph represents it. The Albany (N. Y.) Argus and Alludes, an able Democratic paper, expressed these views. These prisoners were passengers on a British mail steamer, bound from Bermuda to England. An American man of-war overhauls the vessel, and demands the right of visit and search, and prepares to enforce it in the fashion of men-of-war — a shot ahead, a shot over, and, if those are not heeded, a shot through it. She, neutral vessel, is boarded by an armed force, and the two prisoners and their secretaries seized and carried of

ignominiously kicked out of their places." The Providence Post declares that the surrender of the prisoners "cannot fail to humiliate and degrade the high character to which abler counsels had elevated this once prosperous Republic." Mr. Seward's letter to Lord Lyons is sharply satirized by the Albany Argus. He is accused by that journal with arguing both sides, and ingeniously pausing in the middle to confess that he does not know which he has done best. "His attitude," says the Argus, "as he holds himself in, at the turning point of his ratiocination is a perfect tableau." The Boston Advertiser denounces the British demand as "arrogant," and asserts that the release of the Commissioners only postpones the issue; whilst the Boston Courier adds--"in view of all the facts we go for clearing the decks and preparing for action." The London Examiner, after quoting the comments of the New York Times with regard to the object of the stone fleet, asks whether the civilized C
