The steamship James Adger, which arrived at New | with a cargo rtf tobacco valued at $25,000, was 
York, from Fortress Monroe, on the 6th inst., brought 
twenty-nine caxes of condemned clothmg, consisting of 
capes, coats and pants, which were not made accord¬ 
ing to contract, and were rejected. 
The number of prizes taken in Hampton Roads 
since the enforcement of the blockade is about forty, 
and their aggregate value is estimated at about one 
million ef dollars. The Schooner Haxall, captured 
by the Minnesota, had a cargo of manufactured to¬ 
bacco of a superior quality, valued at $100,000. 
The First New Hampshire Regiment, now in Wash¬ 
ington, is pronounced the most perfectly equipped 
body of men that has taken the field in this war. 
The men of the Granite State, no one can doubt, will 
be a wall of granite to the Constitution. 
Loru Lyons, the British Minister at Washington, 
instructs his consul at Mobile that after the block¬ 
ading fleet appears off the harbor, all vessels that 
attempt to leave will be liable to confiscation, accord¬ 
ing to the rules of blockade. 
Large State Loans are in the market for war pur¬ 
poses. New Jersey advertises for $500,000, Illinois 
for $1,000,000, Vermont for $500,000, Indiana for 
$1,200,000, and Pennsylvania for $3,000,000 — a total 
of $6,200,000. They are to be 6 per cent, stocks. 
This is irrespective of $5,000,000 or $6,000,000 which 
will be asked for soon by New York and Massachu¬ 
setts. 
Tbe able engineering officer who superintends its 
construction, says it cannot withstand the attacking 
batteries. We have heard no complaints of tbe 
delay in tbe attack, but much natural impatience is 
felt. Better that the army of tbe Confederacy should 
wait six months, if necessary, and make a sure thing 
of the attack, than make it prematurely and encoun¬ 
ter a repulse. But Bragg’s big guns are arriving, 
and certain signs indicate that tbe end is at hand. 
A Virginia Oi-inion of Gen. Butler. —TheBtaun- 
ton, (Va.,) Vindicator is “down” on General Bnlter. 
Hear it rave: 
“The Puritan upstart from Massachusetts, B. F. 
Butler, who was placed in the command of a mercen¬ 
ary regiment from that State, has been promoted by 
President Lincoln to the position of Major-General, 
and assigned, rumor says, to Fort Monroe. On bis 
arrival at Washington, where be was ordered to re¬ 
port, after being relieved of his command at Balti¬ 
more, ho made a speech, in which he said his face 
was “toward the Booth,” and he would never “take 
a step backward.” A more craven-hearted coward 
never walked the earth. With the most revolting 
countenance ever worn by man, he is the impersona¬ 
tion of a horse-thief or lund-pirate. Without a parti¬ 
cle of courage or honor, he is endeavoring te> ape the 
man of war. Driven with brickbats and sticks thro’ 
Baltimore, by unarmed citizens, be has recently 
signalized his cowardice by offering insult and con 
tumely to the people of that city when their hands 
were tied. 
This man, in fact, is a brute. He looks like one,— 
acts like one. For such a creature to talk of con¬ 
quering the South! For such a miserable poltroon 
to threaten to invade Virginia! For such a speci¬ 
men of abreviated and distorted humanity to raise 
his hireling arm to strike against the rights and 
homes of gentlemen I If he, with his ragamuffin 
regiment, turned and (led from the brickbats and 
sticks of the citizens of Baltimore, what would they 
not do to escape tbe serried phalanx of armed and 
disciplined Virginians! The poor, miserable pol¬ 
troon should never be dignified by a bullet or halter, 
hot if ever caught, (which we doubt, for be will keep 
out of harm’s way,) he should be tied to a whipping¬ 
post, and cut to death with a cowhide in the hands 
of one of our meanest free negroes or penitentiary 
convicts.” 
That Great Victory. —The New Orleans papers 
have received the news of that terrible fight at 
Hampton, which came off the other day, via. Nash¬ 
ville. The Picayune announced the result in stirring 
capitals, for instance: 
BIX HUNDRED LINCOLN TROOPS 
KILLED AND WOUNDED! 
SOUTHERN LOSS ONLY FIFTY ! 
Jeff. Davis a Failure. —Our Southern friends 
are beginning to tire of their new plaything, Jeffer¬ 
son Davis, if we may judge by the following from 
the Louisville (Ky.) Democrat: 
“ Jeff. Davis is a failure. We expected to see him, 
at the head of a few thousand men, make a lunge at 
Washington and take it, before preparation could be 
made to defend it. He has waited until it’s too late. 
Col. Duncart has been at Harper’s Ferry for sometime, 
and he has not attempted the exploit. Beauregard 
has waited at Charleston until it's given out tnat he 
is dead. Tt all sums up in blustering, marching, 
Gotinttr-uiarelting and spending money. The purse 
that holds out longest wins at this rate, and we expect 
that will be about the end of it. The purse, these 
days, is the better part of valor. Nothing but Na¬ 
poleonic energy and genius can combat it; and the 
immense purse of that great joint stock company, 
called the British Empire, conquered Napoleon at last. 
Davis haB made a poor beginning for what he had to 
do. This bragging and talking attitude will never 
do for his mission: it will lie the death of him. Rcott, 
that old military fox, knows this. He doesn’t, intend 
to tight. In this war of science and attitude, Davis 
goes under without a blow; it’s inevitable, and Gen. 
Beott sees it. Davis hasn’t the means, bis friends 
may say. If he didn’t sec how to succeed without 
means, he ought not to have commenced this contest. 
The bold and daring is his game to play. If he is not 
equal to the emergency, let him resign and give place 
to Col. Duncan, or some other Napoleonic spirit.” 
chivalry could not stand, and they scattered like rats 
from a burning barn, after firing at random, which 
did no damage. 
Col. Kelly's command was close after them, and at 
tbe same time Col. lender’s came rushing down the 
hill. After chasing them a few miles the already ex¬ 
hausted men returned to the evacuated camp to learn 
the painful fact that their victory, though complete, 
was dearly bought. Col. Kelly, who, with bravery 
amounting to rashness, was foremost from first to 
last, leading his men In the upper part or the town, 
the enemy having all apparently fled, when he fell 
from a shot from a concealed foe. The assassin was 
an Assistant Quartermaster of the Confederate force 
named Sims. He was iroirfediately seized. 
It was at first supposed that Col. K. was mortally 
wounded, but later accounts report his chances for 
recovery very favorable. Over 500 stand of arms, 50 
horses, with wagons, all the camp equipage, and pro¬ 
visions were taken by our troops. It is impossible 
to tell the loss of tbe rebels, as they carried off quite 
a number of the killed and wounded. 
There was a great deal of blood on tbe gronnd, 
and all along the road and in the direction of their 
flight. Hats, blankets, coats und every description of 
luggage, was scattered along the road for more than 
a mile. Fifteen bodieB were found in a thicket near 
Phillippa after the fight. 
The Probable Heat of War In Virginia- 
The region of country lying between the Potomac 
river and the Manassas Gap Railroad Junction, or 
what is usually called Manassas Junction, is a very 
interesting locality at present, and promises to be so 
for many weeks to come. It is unquestionably 
destined to become the theatre of stirring events, and 
a few facts respecting its topography will not be 
without interest. At the request of Gen. Mansfield, 
however, all correspondents refrain from indicating 
exactly the position of our troops, lest the enemy 
might profit by such statements, for though the mails 
are cut off, yet there is a direct communication with 
the Bonth via. Harper’s Ferry. All the Northern 
newB goes daily to Harper's Ferry, and thence to 
Richmond and the entire Booth. 
From the Chain Bridge, which is three miles above 
Georgetown, to Alexandria,—a distance of about ten 
miles, —there is a continuous chain of hills half a 
mile to a mile and a half hack from the Potomac. 
Entrenchments are thrown up quite a distance north 
of Georgetown,— across the river,— and so at differ¬ 
ent points below to Alexandria. The Chain Bridge, 
the Aqueduct, and especially the Long Bridge, are 
very strongly guarded, and every prominent hill is, 
or will soon be, extended. 
Arlington Heights are right opposite Georgetown, 
nearly two miles back from tbe river. Roach’s 
Spring, which is frequently spoken of, is about two 
miles distant, snotli-west of the Long Bridge, a little 
off from the road to Fairfax Court House. Arlington 
House is about five miles north or north-east of Alex¬ 
andria. Falls Church is a little northern village six 
mileB straight west of Georgetown. Bailey’s Cross 
ItoadB is five miles due west of the Long Bridge, and 
the road from the Bridge which leads directly past 
Bailey’s, iB the road to Fairfax Court House. The 
last named place is eighteen miles from Washington, 
and fourteen from Alexandria. This was the scone 
of Lieut. Tompkin’s exploit; and he was then about 
thirteen miles distant from Manassas Junction, and 
only eight from Centrcville, where two or three rebel 
regiments are stationed. 
From tbe Potomac to the heights west, the ascent 
is somewhat abrupt; but from the heights westward 
the slope is very gradual. At least ten miles of the 
London and Hampshire Railroad is within our lines, 
but the Orange and Alexandria road is none of it in 
our possession. Our troops tore up the track to 
Springfield station, distant from Alexandria about 
nine miles. Beyond this point the road is in good 
condition, and it is reported that the trains occasion 
ally even run up from the Junction as far as Spring- 
field station. 
The Position of the Enemy. —The main body of 
the enemy is at Manassas Junction, fifteen to twenty 
miles from our outposts, but two or three thousand 
of the rebels are stationed a few miles this side. 
From reliable advices it is judged that the enemy 
numbers about eight thousand at the Junction, 
makiWg their entire force in that region ten thousand. 
Should an advance be made by the rebel troops it 
would undoubtedly be upon Alexandria, by the way 
of the Orange Railroad. An attempt would be made 
to turn tbe right flank of the United States troops; 
but as Alexandria is commanded by the Pawnee, 
vessel-of-war, the rebels, even if they succeeded in 
entering the town, could not stay. 
But uo shrewd military mao in of the opinion that 
the rebel troops will advance a 8tep towards Alexan 
drift and Washington, except to strengthen their 
position at Manassas Junction by strong outposts. 
They wait an attack by the Federal troops. Skir¬ 
mishes have been daily, as the scouting parties of both 
armies frequently meet. The whole region from 
Fall’s Oburcli to Centerville is (Abatable ground. 
Our mounted pickets and scouting parties run down 
nearly twenty miles, and theirs frequently come 
within five or six miles of our camp. Senator Wil¬ 
son is urging upon the War Department the accept¬ 
ance of companies of sharpshooters as fast as they 
offer themselves. The southern army has many very 
accurate shots, and as there is to he a good deal of 
guerilla fighting, a regiment of sharpshooters would 
be of great service to our army. 
tne vessels comprising me squadron. He says, to 
the Secretary of the Navy:—The opening of Yangate 
to British trade will make me hasten my arrival at 
Shanghai. As soon after my arrival there as I can 
make the preparations, I intend to go up the Yan 
gatte as far as Nankin in my flagship, taking the 
Dacotah and Saginaw with me. At Nankin I hope 
to come to an understanding with the Insurget Chief* 
for the free navigation of the river by American ship*, 
The Insurgents have command of both branches of 
the river, from the vicinity of Chin Kiang to the 
neighborhood of Hong Kong, and it is very impor¬ 
tant to secure their good will, otherwise our ships 
could not navigate their rivers safely. 
The Post Office Department has received a copy of 
a circular issued by Post. Master General Reagan, of 
the Confederate States of America, instructing South¬ 
ern Post Masters to retain in their possession, for the 
benefit of the rebels, all mail bags, locks and key, 
marking and rating Htamps, and all other property 
belonging to, or connected with the postal service. 
They are also required to keep their journals or 
ledger accounts with the United States for service of 
tbe Post Office Department up to and including the 
21st of May, exhibiting the final balance in their 
possession. 
The Navy Department, on the 6th inst., received 
from Lient. CaveD, commanding tbe steamer Cru¬ 
sader, dispatches dated Key West, May 27th. He 
says on the 14tu the steamer Snannee, late tbe Farnp- 
ero, arrived there from New Orleans, under the proc¬ 
lamation of the blockade, as also the order of the 
Secretary of the Treasury. He denied her a clearance 
to the ports of the seceded States, and lefused to 
permit her to return to New Orleans. Ho offered to 
clear her for New York, which offer was declined. 
He therefore detained her for the use of the Govern¬ 
ment, and the Captain relinquished the command. 
The Suannee belongs to the Fame company who loaned 
a steamer to the parties who seized the Star of the 
West. Lieut. Craven confesses to some degree of 
satisfaction at being enabled to inflict retribution on 
that party, for using their own steamer. Lieut 
Duncan was placed in command, and sent in search 
of the hark Mystic, about which much anxiety was 
felt. He fell in with her at sea, and conducted her 
into Key West on the 23d. An order having been re¬ 
ceived from Col. Brown for troops and stores for Fort 
Pickens, Lieut. Duncan sailed on the Saranac, with 
70 soldiers and a full freight of stores of various kinds 
for that port. 
Dispatches from our Ministers abroad give gratify¬ 
ing evidence of a better tone of feeling towards our 
Government. The united Bentiment of the North, the 
firm, dignified, hut temperate tenor of the instruc¬ 
tions fnrtn the Department of State to onr Diplomatic 
corps, have convinced foreign Cabinets that we have 
the courage, the spirit, and the resolution, at home, 
and will defend onr rights, honor, and territorial 
integrity. 
Information is received that the Austrian Cabinet 
have declined to receive our Minister, Mr. Burlin¬ 
game. His rejection is not to be interpreted into any 
unfriendliness on the part of the Austrian Court, but 
is personal to Mr. B., from his agency in procuring 
the passage of the bill raisinsttbe Sardinian Legation 
to its full mission. 
The newly appointed Marshal of Baltimore, Mr. 
Bonnafont, returned on the 3d inst., and has been 
instructed by Secretary Camerun to make arrests of 
all persons plotting,against the Government, to seize 
all arms and munitions in the possession of such per 
sons, or which may have been secreted by them, anti 
to appoint any additional force of deputies sufficient 
to enable him effectually to guard all the highways 
leading from the city. Marshal B. will, under these 
instructions, bold himself accountable to the War 
Department only. 
Important News from Pensacola. 
Tn* Mobile Advertiser of June 1st contains 
some rather important items relative to Fort Pickens, 
which wc copy. The Advertiser says: 
“ We are without the usual letter from our special 
Pensacola correspondent thin morning, but learn 
from good authority that about two o’clock Thursday 
morning, the camp in and near Pensacola were 
aroused from their quiet by the braying bugle and 
rolling drum, which the half-awakened soldiers inter¬ 
preted into an attack on Pickens, and such shouting 
and hurrahing was nover before heard in that old 
fashioned city. After the troops had formed in line, 
the order of the Secretary of War, transferring them 
to Virginia, was read, and rations for four days 
issued and ordered cooked for the march, which 
commenced at eight o’clock. There arc 2,800 men 
now under marching orders, viz: the 1st Regimentof 
Georgia Volunteers, companded by Col. Ramsey; 
the 5th Regimentof Alabama, (except the Continen¬ 
tals,) under Col. Rhodes; u battalion of Louisiana 
troops, under Capt. I)renx; and a battalion of Louis¬ 
iana Zouaves, under Lieut. CoL Coppens. Three 
companies of Capt Dreux’s command left at 12 M., 
viz.: the Shreveport Grays, Capt. Beard; the Orleans 
Cadets and Crescent Rifles. The Louisiana Guards 
and Urcrot Guards left at 2 P. M. Five hundred 
other troops leave during the night. The rest of the 
troops will move as fast as the railroad facilities 
admit. All of them are eager for active service; 
they are well uniformed, and many of them veterans, 
in drill at least. Gen. Bragg will not be in the least 
Incommoded by tho withdrawal of these troops, as 
he has ample forces for any emergency. His army is 
in good health, und long for battle. 
Seven hundred Federal troops, sacrifices to ballets 
and musquitoes, were landed on Rosa Island Wednes¬ 
day, from a large aide-wheel steamer, just arrived. 
The Federalists are reported active on Santa Rosa. 
The troops are severely disciplined, and are evidently 
expecting warm work before long. Tliey nave nine 
companies of artillery, and a pilot, taking a vessel 
over the bar recently, reports seeing them dashing 
in parade, unlimbering their pieces, Ac. They have 
several sentinels riding np and down the island fre¬ 
quently, which can be seen from the boats in the 
bay.” 
Tho telegraph, on Friday, the 6th inst., brougnt 
the following:—“ Notwithstanding the Southern re¬ 
ports to the contrary, it appears from Col. Adams, in 
a letter from the Navy Department, dated May 20th, 
that great preparations had been made for an attack 
on Fort Pickens, which at that, time was hourly 
expected. He dispatched the Wyandotte at Key 
West to bring down troops, and afterwards placed 
her in position where she could render the most aid. 
Previous to that time, Col. Adams informed General 
Bragg that the port was strongly blockaded, and 
vessels would he dealt with according to the law 
against violating the blockade. Gen. Bragg, in reply, 
said he considered this notification a virtual acknowl¬ 
edgement of both the existence and independence of 
the Confederate States of America. He asked Col. 
Adams to please consider the harbor as closed against 
all boats and vessels of the United States; as ,he 
should not permit any to enter except Col. Adams’ 
dispatch boat under a white flag.”

Federal lUuvemenin in Western Virginia. 
In oar last issue wc chronicled tho advance of 
Federal troops in Western Virginia, and the occupa¬ 
tion of Parkersburg and Grafton. Since that date 
the movetnenj, has been kept np, and on tho 6th inst. 
the Union forces surprised and broke up a secession 
camp 2,000 strong at Phillippa. We gather the fol¬ 
lowing details from the correspondence of the Wheel¬ 
ing (Va.) Intelligencer: 
“The attacking party on the rebel camp at 
Phillippa consisted of live regiments, in two divi¬ 
sions, one consisting of the First Virginia regiment, 
and the Sixteenth Ohio atul Seventh Indiana, under 
the command of Col. Kelly; the other consisting of 
the Ninth Indiana and Fourteenth Ohio, under Col. 
Lander, of wagon road and Potter and Pryor duel 
notoriety. Col. Kelly’s division moved east by rail¬ 
road to Thorntown. From thence he marched to 
Phillippa, 22 miles. The Indiana regiment moved by 
railroad to Webster, where they were joined by the 
Fourteenth Ohio regiment, from which place they 
pushed forward on foot to Phillippa, twelve miles 
distant. The march of the two divisions was per¬ 
formed through darkness, rain, and mud. It was a 
terrible undertaking, but they all went bravely 
through it, unshrinkingly and without complaint. 
All night they toiled on through the darkness and 
storm, the soft earth yielding beneath their feet, until 
the gray dawn found them in the neighborhood of 
the enemy. 
Col, I-amler reports that he arrived on the hill 
across the river from below Phillippa and command¬ 
ing the town before daylight. He at once prepared 
to open upon the rebels at the appointed time. Four 
o’clock was the hour at which the attack was to be 
made simultaneously by both divisions, Col. Kelly’s 
in the rear, and cut off their retreat, while Col. 
Lander would assail them in front But Col. Kelly’s 
division was behind the appointed hour, owing to 
the terrible fatigue of the forced march, and being 
misled by guides- When day began to dawn upon 
Col. I .a rider’s impatient force, it discovered to them 
the camp below in a state of commotion, evidently 
in great alarm, and preparing fora fight. 
Tjie hour appointed for the fight came and passed, 
but still Col. Kelly's division had not arrived. 
Impatient to begin the attack and fearing that the 
rascals, almost within his grasp, would escape with¬ 
out smelling any powder, Col. Lander ordered his 
artillery to begin the attack, and at a quarter past 
four the guns were unlimbered and dropped the first 
messenger of terror into the rebel camp. Simul¬ 
taneously with the roar of the first gun, Col, Kelly, 
at the head of his command, came in sight across the 
river below the camp, and comprehending the posi¬ 
tion of affairs, he rushed forward in the direction of 
the camp. Meanwhile the batteries having got accu¬ 
rate range, played upon the camp with marked effect, 
tearing through the tents at a fearful rate. This the 
New York Slate Volunteers.

These volunteer regiments must not be confounded 
with a list published some weeks since of the regi¬ 
ments drawn from the uniformed militia (like the 
“ New York 7th,” or " New York 69th,”) of the State. 
New York has now furnished a total of 50,947 men; 
the volunteer force numbering 30,400; the State 
militia 6,497. Those not yet mustered into the Uni¬ 
ted States Service, but performing military duty in 
State Camps, 14,050.

Blockade op the Mouth ok the Mississippi.— 
The New Orleans Delta of the 30th ult., says: — We

Brooklyn arrived off Pass L’Outre bar at 2 o’clock 
yesterday, and curne to anchor about one hundred

mand at Fort Jackson, informing him that the block¬ 
ade would take effect from that moment. 
MissisBirP! War Funds Exhausted. —There is a 
candid confession of rebel bankruptcy in the follow¬ 
ing paragraph from the editorial columns of the 
Jackson Mississippian. the State paper: 
“We are advised that tho reason Gov. Pettus has 
not ordered volunteers into encampment to be sup¬ 
plied and drilled at the expense of the State, is that 
the military fund provided for that purpose by the
