Zack (search for this): article 7
and the capture of Fort Matilda; he was badly beaten and made prisoner at Queenstown; totally unsuccessful in managing the Florida war, and again fortunate in Mexico; showing that his military life, like that of many other Generals, has been one of alternate triumphs and reverses. The Mexican victories, which gave him his chief eclat, were due more to Gen. Taylor's triumphant campaign on the Rio Grande, and to Gen. Lee's engineering skill on the Vera Cruz line, than to his own talents. Old Zack broke the spirit of the Mexicans at Palo Alto, Resaca, Monterey, and finally at Buena Vista, where the flower of the Mexican Army, under Santa Anna, was smashed to powder, and thoroughly demoralized. After that battle, the Mexicans, cowed, dispirited, deprived of their choicest troops and military supplies, gave way readily before the splendid column of Scott, composed in great part of Old Zack's regulars, whom, with his usual magnanimity, the Lieutenant-General had despoiled Taylor of on th

Who is Mr. Smith? --We see it stated in the Northern papers that a Southerner of the name of Smith has been arrested in N. York, under the belief that he was one of the members of the Provisional Congress, now sitting in Richmond. We are authorized to state that there are two members of that Congress of the name of Smith--one from Alabama, and one from North Carolina; and that both are now in Richmond, and neither has been in N. York, or absent from their seats. The gentleman under of Smith has been arrested in N. York, under the belief that he was one of the members of the Provisional Congress, now sitting in Richmond. We are authorized to state that there are two members of that Congress of the name of Smith--one from Alabama, and one from North Carolina; and that both are now in Richmond, and neither has been in N. York, or absent from their seats. The gentleman under arrest is a son of Ex-Governor Smith, of Virginia, as we have heretofore informed our readers.

An appeal to the ladies of Richmond in behalf of the first regiment --As winter is approaching, and our armies are likely to be exposed to inclemencies of a winter campaign I would respectfully suggest the wisdom of timely preparation of suitable clothing. In addition to a suit of clothes and shoes which the city has kindly promised, I propose that the ladies undertake or provide each soldier in the Regiment with two pair of socks by the 1st of October Messrs Wordsworth, Turner &Co. have kindly consented to receive and forward to the Regiment the work as soon as it is delivered. We look for the usual generous and patriotic response that has characterized the ladies of Richmond since the commencement of our troubles an 13--6t

She is 18 or 20 years old; dark skin; round, bumpy face; voice effeminate; 5 feet 2 or 3 inches high; a first-rate washer and ironer, and has very likely passed herself off as a free woman and hired herself as such in or about Richmond. an 19--3t* Geo.

e general flurry. A Mr. Cowling, living near Claremont, only five miles from Alexandria, came into town yesterday with a wagon load of furniture, and immediately returned for another, and his wife. He declares that the Confederates have got to Claremont and ordered him to quit. Mr. Cowling has many anxious friends in Washington to-day. The Star very consequentially denies the rumor current this afternoon, and indeed all day, that Gen. Rosencranz has been surrounded by Generals Lee and Wise, and that a dispatch to that effect had been received at the War Department; but the denial may be denied in a day or two. One of the floating scandals of the Departments saith that Mr. Beverly Tucker, Consul to Liverpool, has been naughty in a financial point of view; that he has been drawing freely on Government "for relief to distressed sailors;" that he has incurred so heavy an amount of personal indebtedness in Liverpool, that the effects of the Consulate would have been seized and

feat when running for that office! Of late years, it has been fashionable with the Lieutenant-General, whom his devotees describe as the great General of the age, compared with whom Napoleon and Washington were small potatoes, and Marshal Pelissier, old General Hess and Count Todleben, mere farthing rushlights, to play the part of the Great Pacificator. He has been solicitous to have it understood that Mars is capable of being pacific and beneficent; that terrific and annihilating as Wingfield is, when fairly roused, yet the very consciousness of his awful powers of destructiveness makes him most reluctant to put them in exercise. Consequently, on various occasions, he has gone about the country, now to Maine and now to California, like an amiable lion, with an olive branch in his mouth, trying to induce people not to shed each other's gore. We have heard nothing of his exploits in this way since the present conflict commenced. He has not once sought to smooth the "wrinkled f

short, the whole civilized world. It would be injudicious to say more on this subject at present. You may hear from me in a future communication. I had a petition to his Excellency the President from the imprisoned officers. I showed it to Gen. Winder, of the Confederate forces. He said he could not allow it to pass without showing it to the War Department, and if they passed it, it was to be sent by Adams' Express.--The prisoners anxiously await the result of this petition before giving vent to their feelings. I have brought with me about four hundred letters from the prisoners and wounded.--Should any of their relatives or friends wish to communicate with them, address their letters, "Prisoner of war, care of General Winder, Richmond," and delivered open at Adams Express office, I have been assured by the General that he will faithfully see them delivered. The same with clothing and money. In concluding this letter, allow me to bear testimony to the uniform kindness

detention until discharged by competent authority, and contraband articles will be seized. Officers and soldiers of the army will obtain passes as heretofore ordered. All complaints of improper arrests, seizures or searches, made or purporting to be made under military authority, will be received by the proper brigade commanders or Provost Marshal, who will at once investigate the same, and in each instance make report to headquarters. By command ofMaj. Gen. McClellan. S. Williams, Assis't Adj't Gen'l. The order read to the Seventy-Ninth! The following is the order read to the 79th Regiment on Wednesday: "The General Commanding has heard with the deepest pain of the acts of insubordination on the part of the 79th Regiment. Without attempting to enter into a discussion of the causes, it is sufficient to say that they are frivolous and groundless. "That these acts have thrown disgrace upon the regiment and the service, and taking place at this tim
Wheat (search for this): article 19
The growing Crops in Europe. --Our files by the Persia say the reports from France respecting the harvest is not satisfactory. The crop is deficient and weight is inferior.--Wheat had risen one franc per sack. American red wheat was more abundant Accounts have appeared in English agricultural journals, says the London Agricultural Gazette, that wheat is affected with rust and mildew to a great extent. This may be true enough of rust as regards white wheat, but it is too early to have much mildew at present.
