nfederate General, D. H. Hill. A story current in Frederick is, that General Hill sat for sometime at the corner of Market and Patrick streets inspecting the march of his column as it moved by, and was observed to drop a paper from his pocket, which was picked up as soon as he left, and delivered to McClellan on his arrival on the 13th. It was a copy of Special Order No. 191, which had been sent by Jackson to D. H. Hill, and was as follows: headquarters army of Northern Virginia, September 9th, 1862. This army will resume its march to-morrow, taking the Hagerstown road. General Jackson's command will form the advance, and after passing Middletown with such portion as he may select, take the route toward Sharpsburg, cross the Potomac, and by Friday night take possession of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and capture such of the enemy as may be at Martinsburg, and intercept such of the enemy as may attempt to escape from Harpers Ferry. General Longstreet's command will pursue

ommander Porter. * * They fully proved that he had determined to attack her alone, and only wanted Fairfax to be in supporting distance, but that he subsequently changed his mind and made signal for close action, while he was a mile and a half off, and by the time Fairfax got up with the Essex, the Arkansas was discovered to be on fire, and he then told them to return to Baton Rouge as he did not want them. In his official report of the operations at Vicksburg and Baton Rouge, dated September 9, 1862, Maj. Gen. Van Dorn says: I think it due to the truth of history to correct the error, industriously spread by the official reports of the enemy, touching the destruction of the Arkansas. She was no trophy won by the Essex nor did she receive any injury at Baton Rouge from the hands of any of her adversaries. * * * With every gun shotted, our flag floating, and not a man on board, the Arkansas bore down upon the enemy and gave him battle * * It was beautiful—said Lieut.

[Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Norfolk, March 6, 1862 Captain Chubb, of the Confederate privateer Royal Yacht, captured off Galveston in November, arrived here yesterday by flag of truce from Fort Monroe. The Day Book has an account of the capture of the Royal Yacht, from which I take the following paragraph: "The Royal Yacht was commissioned on the 9th of September, 1862, and was attacked by the enemy on the 8th of November following. She was lying at the time at Galveston, and was acting as a picket or guard boat. --The attack was made at about 2½ o'clock in the morning by two launches of the United States vessel Santee, each containing forty men, and a cutter with twenty men — making a total of one hundred. The crew of the Yacht, notwithstanding the statement of the enemy to the contrary, numbered only thirteen; and when they say they killed all excepting the thirteen they made prisoners, they only take a roundabout way of saying that they killed none

Referred to the Judiciary Committee. On motion of Mr. Hill, his colleague, Mr. Lewis, was appointed on the Committee on Hospitals and Medical Department, in his place.
