overnment. During the last year he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the 4th Delaware Volunteers, and led several expeditions from Yorktown, Virginia, in one of which he pushed as far as Aylett's Station with two hundred infantry. He was selected by Gen. Schenck to organize the 3d Maryland regiment, and has been detached from his old regiment by the Secretary of War for this express purpose. It may seem strange, indeed, to many that rebel prisoners are so willing to join the Union army. The fact musrmined upon this course. Gen. Elliott testified that he thought he could have brought away the forces without an attack being made upon him by the enemy the day before Gen. Milroy moved. Gen.

McReynolds, of the First New York cavalry, commanding a brigade under Gen. Milroy at the time of the evacuation of Winchester and during the retreat to Harper's Ferry. He testified that Gen. Milroy called a council of his brigade officers--Gen. Elliott, Col. Ely and himself — in which it was decided to retreat. Col. McReynolds could not say upon whom the responsibility rested for the disaster at Winchester, though evidently some one was to blame. He corroborated the evidence of Capt. Alexander, of the Baltimore battery, given on Wednesday, as to the destruction of all the artillery ammunition of his brigade, by throwing it into the cistern of the fort near Winchester, known as the Star Fort, previous to the evacuation and after the council of war

Ex-President Buchanan and suite, en route from Bedford Springs to Wheatland, passed through Harrisburg on Saturday last. After Mr. Buchanan had changed cars, and a few minutes before the train started, a crowd was collected in front of the car be occupied. Just then a soldier, who had lost an arm, began to shake the stump in the face of the O. P. F., exclaiming, "I am indebted to you for this!" (pointing to the maimed arm,) "and the devil will liquidate the debt when he gets you!" At this point the whistle of the locomotive screamed the signal of departure, and

The list of killed and wounded as far as ascertained is some 180, the majority of whom were killed instantly, most of them in their own houses, with their wives and children clinging to them, while the murderers planted pistols at their breasts and shot them down.

are so willing to join the Union army. The fact must have a crushing effect upon the Northern peace men or rebel sympathizers. The prospect of a Yankee war with England. The Philadelphia Inquirer has the following paragraph about the rumor in the Washington Republican of a war with England: The extraordinary article from the Washington Republican, anticipating a war with England, to which we made brief reference yesterday, appears to have been based upon a private letter from London, dated the 21st of July. The letter in question states that "a preliminary notice had been served upon the Government of Great Britain, by the proper officers of the American Government," to the effect that if England permits the two iron-clad rams now building there for the rebels to be turned over to our enemies to depredate on American commerce, the Government of the United States will, accept the act as a declaration of war. This is certainly very important and startling, if true, and of
