visit him. His bodily health is not firm. Five years ago he met with an accident that affected his spine, since which time he has not been able to sit on his horse. Indeed he had not been on a horse but once since the accident, and then he was helped on and off, remaining but a few minutes, that his portrait might be painted. He seldom leaves his room, and walks about it with great difficulty. But his mind is just as clear as when the cannons pealed along our frontiers in the war of 1812. He is well posted in all the acts of the Government and of the army. He reads everything that relates to the national peril, has his own decided opinions of movements and of men, and expresses himself freely, without the veil of secrecy or reserve, about the war, its duration and termination, the courage and skill of our Generals, and the obstacles that still lie in our path. I had an interview with him of about an hour's duration. He did not regard the future prospects as very b

one or more Cabinet meetings, and Gen. Scott is confident that when the war is over the plan will form substantially the basis of a final settlement. Of Gen. McClellan's military career Gen. Scott declines to speak--first, because he recommended him for the position of Commander in-Chief, and because a court martial is to be called, and, as he may be one of the judges, he does not wish to prejudge the case. I could not understand whether Gen. McClellan desired the court marshal, or whether it was to be ordered by the Government. He was clearly disappointed that Richmond was not taken; but whether it was the fault of Gen. McClellan, Gen. McDowell, oGen. McClellan, Gen. McDowell, or the interference of the Government, General Scott declined to give an opinion. Of Gens. Burnside and Hooker, and other commanders of that stamp, he regarded them as loyal men, brave men, good division commanders, but wholly incompetent to plan or execute a military campaign. Of Gen. Grant he expressed himself surprised and
Union (peace) newspaper office in Fairfax, Iowa, edited by Dave Sheward, was visited by company E, of the 2d Iowa volunteers, on the 7th inst., and the type and paper were thrown out of the window and the subscription books were destroyed. A Washington dispatch says five blockade runners, recently from Richmond, were arrested on the stage from Port Tobacco, Maryland. On their persons were found between $30,000 and $40,000 in gold, twenty-two gold watches, five Georgia State bonds of $1,000 each, and two North Carolina State bonds. They were sent to the Old Capitol prison. The railroad depot at Chattanooga, containing quartermasters' stores, was burned on Saturday. --Loss one hundred thousand dollars. Sumner, Reverdy Johnson, and others, says the New York Herald, are now moving for an amendment of the Constitution of the United States, prohibiting slavery everywhere. Ten regiments of Federals are now employed in regulating the civil administration in Tennessee.
this office, containing a dispatch from Gen.

We find a list of 115 men wounded, including Col. Lockwood, of the 7th Virginia, and several field officers. The following dispatches give what particulars are published: The advance of the late crossing at Morton's Ford was made by 100 men of the 126th New York volunteers, under Lieut. Col. Baird, and the 39th New York (Garibaldi Guard.) Gen. Hays, division commander, forded the rive

Grant had proved himself the hero of the war — fighting great battles with consummate skill, and securing the
We give some additional intelligence from the latest Northern files received. The gold question is rapidly getting beyond Secretary Chase's power of control. On Tuesday last, the 9th inst., it was quoted at 159½@159½ and Exchange at 174½.

Meade's movement at the Rapidan. Meade's moveteresting from New Orleans — split in the Louisiana (Yankee) State Convention. Lincoln's scheme to get Louisiana into the Union again doesn't seem to work smoothly. The latest advices from New Orleans are to the 3d inst. The Convention which Banks had called had split. The Picayune says: The nominating Convention, which met at Lyceum Hall last night, had a stormy time of it, and did not get fairly through with the business on hand till midnight. At length the elements were found to
ulars. Lieuts. Whitelt and Green, of the 26th Indiana regiment, captured at Morganza, had escaped from Tyler, Texas, and reached New Orleans. The trick by which they escaped was pretending to get angry at something said or done by the Confederate officer in charge, and surrendering their paroles, and then escaping by means of paroles borrowed from two other officers. They report upwards of 100 Yankee officers at Tyler. These men learned on their way that Mouton's division had been at Gaines's landing for the purpose of crossing arms and ammunition from this side, which they successfully accomplished. The Picayune copies a letter written off Wilmington, by which it appears that the gunboat blown up near Georgetown was the Iron Age. She got ashore in chasing a blockade runner, and was destroyed on account of not being able to get her afloat. Miscellaneous.

Baird, and the 39th New York (Garibaldi Guard.) Gen. Hays, division commander, forded the river on foot, accompanied by Gen. Owen, brigade commander. The crossing was effected by fording waist deep, under the cheering excitement of picket firing from the approaching banks; but about 25 the rebels, including three officers, flanked by our rapidly moving forces, surrendered and were sent across the river. Our skirmishers steadily advanced, and gallantly forced the rebel skirmish line back to the protection of their works. Our position, the line
