f Major. Richard Hanson Weight-man of the Missouri volunteers. Major Weightman had distinguished himself greatly in the Mexican war, as com- of the flying artillery in General Hoffman's expedition and, at the battle of , unlimbered fifty yards nearer the enemy than any battery at Palo Alto or Re Probably the most extraordinary march ever made is on this continent, unless the pretext war has furnished a parallel, was made brilliant, energetic and heroic . The reign of a distinguished Maryland family, where blood has flowed like water in every war of America from the Revolutionary war. Major Weightman has nobly its reputation by a life of the most toned chivalry and by a soldier's death. We never knew a man who bore in his per- more unmistakable insignia of Nature's noblemen. His was a face that might have suggested those beautiful a Virginia Poetess: never a warrior's soul with a prouder gaze than thine; peer a brow hath worn so still a scorn, should eyes outshine

sight, and reflected on the waters of the Potomac; just glistened by the clouded moon, shone the gay lamps of the White House, where the President was probably entertaining some friends. In science I passed over the Long Bridge. Some few hours later it quivered under the steps of a rabole of unarmed men. At the Washington end a regiment with piled arms were waiting to cross over into Virginia, singing and cheering. Before the morning they received orders, I believe, to assist in keeping Maryland quiet.--For the hundredth time I repeated the cautious account, which to the best of my knowledge was true. There were men, women and soldiers to hear it. The clocks had just struck 11 P. M. as I passed Willard's. The pavement in front of the hall was crowded. The rumors of defeat had come in, but few of the many who had been led upon lies and the reports of complete victory which prevailed could credit the intelligence. Seven hours had not elapsed before the streets told the story.

see me now. " I have been introduced to, and have had conversations with, Colonel Zarvona and his adjutant, George W. Alexander, a fierce looking but withal intelligent man, who, he informs me, was officer of the ship which first brought Kossuth to England. Colonel Thomas is a tall, thin young man, twenty seven years of age, with sharp, irregular features, deep intentions in his cheeks, blue eyes, long, aquiline shaped nose, and is closely shaved on head and face. He, is a native of Maryland, and has served with Garibaldi in the ranks during the Italian campaign. There is a deep-seated melancholy about the man, which might be taken for monomania. He looked downcast and miserable in the extreme, and seemed to entertain no idea of enjoyment in this world. He was exceedingly gentle, and speaks in a low, weak voice. No one could imagine that a frame so feeble could contain such a brave, undaunted spirit. I am informed that some years ago he had an attachment, but that the obje

rmish at Mathias' Point: Yesterday morning a steam-tug, supposed to be the Resolute, Captain Budd, came down the Potomac on one of her usual marauding expeditions. On rounding Mathias' Point, she fired a volley of rifle balls, intending, I suppose, to wake up any pickets that she presumed might be there. Proceeding a little further down, the vigilant freebooters discovered a small boat, with some barrels in it near the shore; supposing the boat to contain valuables just arrived from Maryland, the valorous Budd immediately dispatched a boat, containing an officer and five men, to capture the coveted prize; but, before they succeeded in their thievish design, they were seen by a small squad of our militia, in command of Colonel M. Arnold and Major H. B. Lewis, who opened upon them with their "Virginia Cornstalks," and killed every man in the boat. The tug immediately commenced a furious fire of shot and shell upon our boys, who, having killed all their enemies within reach, reti
