28. Steam-frigate Pawnee passing Mount Vernon. by Isaac M'Lellan. In passing down the Potomac River, and arriving opposite Mount Vernon, a beautiful and graceful tribute was paid to the sacred remains that lie entombed in that hallowed spot. All hands were called, officers in swords and epaulets, sailors in their neat uniforms, the fine guard of the Pawnee drawn up, with belt and musket. At a given signal the large American ensign fell at half-mast; the ship's bell tolled out its muffledMount Vernon, a beautiful and graceful tribute was paid to the sacred remains that lie entombed in that hallowed spot.

At a given signal the large American ensign fell at half-mast; the ship's bell tolled out its muffled tones, the melancholy drums rolled their funereal salute, while the presented arms and uncovered heads of officers and men paid a sad tribute of respect to him who was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen ; and so the Pawnee passed on, silent and mourning; for hie by whose grave she glided was the Father of his Country.;--Morning paper.

xhausted soldiers and jaded teams struggled and toiled in pain all that miserable day and far into night; for even at midnight feeble stragglers staggered into Mount Vernon, where the Fourteenth and Seventeenth rested, to find their comrades.

There were found upon the person of Colonel John A. Washington and forwarded to the War Department, two revolvers, (Colt's Navy,) one pair of spurs, one opera-glass, one large bowie-knife, and one pocket compass. General Reynolds retained one of the revolvers, and requested of Secretary Cameron permission to present it to Sergeant Lieber of the Seventeenth Indiana Regiment, who undoubtedly shot the speculator in the ancestral estate of Mount Vernon.

surrection, which the General Government is expressly authorized to suppress. Did any one imagine in 1793, when General Washington called out 15,000 men to suppress the insurrection in the Western counties of Pennsylvania, that if the insurgents had happened to have the control of a majority of the Legislature, and had thus been able to clothe their rebellion with a pretended form of law, that he would have been obliged to disband his troops, and return himself baffled and discomfited to Mount Vernon? If John Brown's raid at Harper's Ferry, instead of being the project of one misguided individual and a dozen and a half deluded followers, had been the organized movement of the States of Ohio and Pennsylvania, do the Seceders hold that the United States would have had no right to protect Virginia, or punish the individuals concerned in her invasion? Do the seceding States really mean, after all, to deny, that if a State law is passed to prevent the rendition of a fugitive slave, the G

Let the press, the only organ which can now speak to the people, South and North, claim from the leaders on both sides, that no military necessity shall excuse the defilement of the soil of Mount Vernon with carnage, or its air by the sulphurous breath of battle.--Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle, April 30.

May 15.--The sacred remains of Washington have been removed from Mount Vernon by Colonel Washington, who has recently joined the Confederate army. This act may appear at first sight no less than an impious outrage; but it must be borne in mind, that in the sale of Mount Vernon, Colonel Washington reserved to himself not only the tomb of Washington, but also an acre of ground around it. He also bound himself to renovate the tomb. These details are all contained in the deed of sale now in Mount Vernon, Colonel Washington reserved to himself not only the tomb of Washington, but also an acre of ground around it. He also bound himself to renovate the tomb. These details are all contained in the deed of sale now in the possession of George Riggs, Trustee of the Mount Vernon Association. It is indisputable, therefore, that Colonel Washington is the sole owner of the remains of his august ancestor, and has the legal right to remove them. But this will hardly suffice to stifle those emotions of indignation, and even horror, which will swell in every Northern heart at the shocking intelligence that the revered bones of our sainted Washington have been secretly extracted from his tomb, and hid away in some un

In order to determine the truth or falsity of the rumor of the removal of the remains of Washington from the tomb at Mount Vernon, General Sickles despatched three messengers thither on Saturday morning. They left on horseback at 9 o'clock A. M., aMansion House, and ordered dinner to be ready at 5 P. M. On their return they informed the landlord they were going to Mount Vernon, and that one of the party would leave for Europe on the following Wednesday, and was desirous of denying the infamouson, however, and were allowed to pass the scouts without being detained or suspected, until within about four miles of Mount Vernon. Here they were overtaken by scouts, and ordered to halt. The scouts then informed them they would accompany themhey did In conversation, one of them stated there were seven thousand cavalry in Virginia. At 1 P. M. they arrived at Mount Vernon, went to the house, and then proceeded to examine the tomb. They found it had never been molested; cobwebs were on th

The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.--Psalm 29: 11. Oh! where, brothers, where is our liberty? Where, where is the “union of lands” That was won by the blood of our sires, From England's tyrannical bands? Oh! where are the sons of the patriot Who slumbers in Mount Vernon's gloom? Would to heaven his children could hear him Calling, “Peace, children, peace!” from the tomb. Oh! where, brothers, where is your birthright? Where, where is your free speech and laws? Why, why do you war with each other In the verge of Anarchy's jaws? “Peace, freemen, peace with thy kinsmen!” Let the angel of love hover o'er you, And betray not the trust of your brethren, Disgracing the country that bore you. Where, where are the children of freedom Whose bravery and v

When General Rosecrans took command of the army in Kentucky, it was massed at Bowling Green and Glasgow. The base of supplies was then at Louisville. A few days later it was advanced to Nashville, which was made a secondary base. After the battle of Perryville, and our pursuit to Mount Vernon, as stated in my last report, the rebel army retreated across the Cumberland Mountains, leaving a force in Cumberland Gap; then moved down the Tennessee Valley to Chattanooga, and thence by Stevenson and Tullahoma to Murfreesboro, a distance of four hundred miles, while our army had marched to Nashville, a distance of only a little over two hundred miles. On the twenty-sixth of December, General Rosecrans advanced against Bragg, whose forces were at that time somewhat dispersed along t

e latter engaged a part of Gen. Buell's army at Perryville, about ten o'clock on the eighth of October. A general battle ensued, and was continued till dark; it was mainly fought by Major. Geon. McCook's corps ; the enemy retreated during the night; the losses were heavy on both sides, but no official reports of the numbers engaged or the losses on either side have been received. After this battle, the main army of the Rebels retreated to East-Tennessee; Gen. Buell pursued it as far as Mount Vernon or London, then fell back to the line from Louisville to Nashville. Here Major-General Rosecrans superseded him in the command by the orders of the President. As the Secretary of War has ordered a military commission to investigate the operations of Gen. Buell in this campaign, it would be obviously improper for me to express any opinion, unless specially directed to do so. The command of Brig.-Gen. Morgan at Cumberland Gap abandoned that place and retreated to the Ohio River. The a
