s good, its execution better. It will be remembered that rather more than a year ago the Federal capital, which the seceders claim as belonging of right to the South, was threatened by the advance of a powerful Confederate army, which occupied the heights of Alexandria, on the opposite side of the Potomac. The battle of Manassas seemed at first to have left Washington at the mercy of the conquerors, but the Confederates prudently abstained from following up that victory by an advance into Maryland. As soon as they had sufficiently strengthened Washington, the Federals began to make diversions in the rear of their opponents, in the shape of a series of inroads on the exposed coast line of the Carolinas and the Gulf States. But still McClellan, with a mighty host, sat still in front of Washington, till, on a sudden, it appeared one day that the Confederate army, tired of waiting for him, had cleared off with bag and baggage to the country between the Rappahannock and the capital of V

st of these individuals are in hospital tents, though some are lying under the trees, in the barns, and even in the poultry-houses. The ice house is well packed with excellent ice, which it would be well enough to have removed to Richmond. It was very near this place that a severe engagement occurred on Sunday last, and many dead Yankees are rotting unburied on the field. Another hospital, at Meadow Station, some two or three miles below, is filled with the sick of the enemy. Two Massachusetts negroes were found here, and have been brought to Richmond.

Fight between Maryland and Massachusetts Yankees. We have been furnished with an extract of a letter written in Beaufort county, N. C. near Newbern, and dated June 29, 1862, which contains a piece of information which we deem highly important. We give below the extract as furnished us, and think its statements may be relied upon: "I have just heard from Barrington's. A fight occurred in Newbern, in which Massachusetts and Maryland soldiers became involved. A regiment of each became engaged; 300 of the New England men were said to have been killed and 150 of the Marylanders. The disturbance arose about the negroes within the lines there.

n an explosion took place immediately under his feet. The poor fellow was severely burnt, but some gentlemen of the Richmond committee discovered his condition, and by the use of simple remedies soon alleviated his sufferings. No doubt the enemy buried a torpedo near the well, but fortunately the mischief caused by the explosion was very slight. Early with their bills. Three gentlemen, evidently of foreign extraction, arrived at the Exchange Hotel yesterday afternoon from the city of New York, via Washington and Gordonsville. Laboring under the erroneous impression that Gen. McClellan had accomplished the long promised feat of capturing the Southern capital, they were frank enough to state that the purpose of their visit to Richmond was to establish an agency for the collection of Southern debts due the merchants and others of the Northern cities.--They had with them a large number of bills from different houses in New York, but before an opportunity was offered to present
