Paul journeyed to Damascus. He has seized all the guns of Messrs. Merrill, Thomas & Co, and ordered them to make no more arms; also taken several large lots of powder, and has power to arrest all suspicious persons and examine all suspicious houses. Now, the true power of a U. S. Marshal is not much more than a sheriff, and you may know to what points that black-hearted scoundrel at Washington is going. A gentleman from Washington informs us that he saw two of the steamers that were from the fight at Aquia Creek, and he did not know ball could do such damage; they were completely torn up and riddled by balls. Tell the people of Virginia, and let it reach Hon. Jefferson Davis, that Maryland is South in every feeling and desire; that if Union men are in the ascendant, and Union men are elected, it is because they are supported by bayonets; they are elected by bayonets; and I sincerely hope they will be driven from among us at the point of the Southern bayonets.

hat accomplished officer we need not say. We understand that he landed at several places on the Virginia side of the Potomac, and, attended by two officers and twenty marines, proceeded a considerable distance inland at White House Point, where a company of about sixty Secessionists had made their appearance a few days before. Capt. Palmer, we learn, was greatly aided in his expedition by Capt. Rowan, of the United States Navy, commanding the Pawnee, and by the officers of that ship. At Aquia Creek two small batteries, with some five or six hundred men, were distinctly seen by the party. Early on yesterday morning a little corps of Secessionists was brought into CampCochrane by a troop of the 69th "boys." The circumstances of their capture are briefly these: --Some of the men in the "early grey dawn," chanced to be out after stray cattle, when they spied a party of the enemy not far distant, apparently reconnoitering. They immediately returned to camp and reported. With his u

Bound for the West. --The Richmond L. L Blues were mustered into service yesterday by the Inspector General. During the day, this old and favorite company had an accession of some half-dozen new members. They came from Aquia Creek a few days ago with 95 men, rank and file. We understand that they start this morning for Lewisburg, thence to the Northwestern portion of the State. Wherever they may go we are sure that they will give a good account of themselves. Lieut. Wm. L. Maule, who has been serving with the company since the inception of hostilities, was yesterday promoted to the Adjutancy of the First Tennessee Regiment, now stationed at Aquia Creak. First Lieutenant James A. Scott resigned on account of domestic affliction; and an election being hold, Fred. Carter was elected First Lieutenant, Charies P. Bigger, Second, Richard S. Sanxay, Third, and Ezekiel J. Levy, First Sergeant.

He landed at several places on the Virginia side of the Potomac, and attended by two officers and twenty marines proceeded a considerable distance to White House Point, where a company of about sixty Secessionists had made their appearance only a few days before.
