eces, watching the effect of the shells which now go thick and fast from the Cumberland and Wabash, and of the shots which begin to come from the smaller and upper fort. Fire the pivot gun when you're ready! is the order now passed forward to Mr. Foster, and directly we get within range a nine-inch shell is sent from the bow, and explodes just over Fort Clark. We pass inside of the other vessels, nearly a quarter of a mile nearer the shore, and the fire, once opened from the Minnesota's batteteen minutes delay occurred in preparing them on board the flag ship, during which time very few guns were fired. Finally, when they were ready, the men went to the work with renewed zeal. Three shells thrown consecutively from the pivot-gun--Mr. Foster's — fell within a very few feet of each other, near the ventilator of the magazine of Fort Hatteras. The shells flew terrifically, and all attempts at responding ceased. Half an hour more would have annihilated the enemy. They held their pea

en fought bravely and inflicted the severest punishment on the enemy. Jeff. Thompson himself admitted twenty killed. In the rebel force was a gang of Indians, or persons disguised as such, who, during the fight, kept up a great shouting. The sick and wounded of Captain Elliot's company were brought up to the city with him, and have a short leave of absence. The remainder of his company, fifty-two in number, are at Victoria. The following is the list of killed and wounded:--Killed, George G. Foster, Orderly Sergeant of Company E, from Galesburg, Ill., shot in the head, and killed instantly. Wounded, Captain I. H.

ens of a country. Strangers and foreigners who have their domicile there may incur the guilt of treason against the country in which they dwell, by committing such acts as would be treason in a citizen or subject of this country. An alien, says Foster, whose sovereignty is in amity with the Crown of England, residing here, and receiving the protection of the law, oweth a large allegiance to the Crown during the time of his residence; and if during the time he committeth an offence which in thes, living here under the King's protection, and committing offences amounting to treason, may likewise be dealt with as a traitor; for he oweth a temporary local allegiance, founded on that share of protection he receiveth. These observations of Foster are sound law, and supported by sound reasoning. A foreigner who resides here, and who seeks to receive the benefit and protection of our Government and laws, ought to be punished as a traitor, if he betrays the Government which confides and pro

fficer executed his duty with distinguished ability and vigor, driving back and capturing the pickets, and one entire company of the enemy's cavalry, with tents, baggage, and wagons. One of the pickets and two wagons were captured within the lines of Rains' division, encamped north of the Osage River. The column under Lieutenant-Colonel Brown continued the pursuit vigorously all night of the 16th, all day of the 17th, and part of the night of the same day, his advance guard consisting of Foster's company of Ohio Cavalry, and a detachment of thirty men of the Fourth regular cavalry, occupying Johnstown in the course of the night. The enemy began to scatter as soon as the pursuit grew close, disappearing in every direction in the bushes, and by every by-path, driving their wagons into farm-yards remote from the road, and throwing out their loads. As these wagons were all two-horse wagons of the country, and had been in fact taken by force from the farm-houses, it was impossible to

The particulars of Mr. Ely's capture and a portion of his experience at Richmond are as follows: He was captured by a South Carolina company of infantry, about five o'clock P. M. of the day of the battle of Bull Run. He had stopped at a blacksmiths shop to have his carriage mended, and after that waited a while for Senator Foster, of Connecticut, who had gone out with him. While waiting he walked down toward a ravine, in which he saw a company of National troops skulking or in ambush, but, as he approached them, they receded, and just as Mr. Ely paused, to return to his carriage, a spent musket-ball struck the earth near him. He stepped behind a large tree near by to be out of danger, and continued his observations. In a moment a cannon-ball went crashing through the branches of the tree, and seemed to be felling the whole top upon him. By the time he recovered from this surprise, a company of soldiers,
