Georgetown. The rice was shipped for New York 
in the coal schooner S. J. Waring. 
The prize steamship Ann, of London, cut out 
from under the guns of Fort Morgan, at the mouth 
of Mobile Bay, June 29tb, arrived at New York last 
week. The Ann had run by the blockading fleet 
during the night, as it was so dark that she could 
not be seen by our vessels. Lights had been kept 
burning on the fort all night, so that she had no 
trouble in finding the channel. The next mornin" 
she was discovered by the Susquebannah, within 
hall mile of the fort, unloading her cargo into a 
rebel steamer alongside. The Susquebannah, ac¬ 
companied by the gunboat ICauawha, then got under 
weigh and steamed within gunshot, and opened fire 
on the Btrange steamer. The fire was returned by 
the fort, and kept op for an hour on both sides. In 
the meantime the crew bad deserted the strange 
steamer, as the shells from our vessels fell about 
her rather too thickly for safety. She was soon 
discovered to be adrift, and dropped down with the 
current about a mile, when the Kanawha was 
ordered to go in and bring her out, which she did 
in fine style, under a heavy fire from the fort. 
When the Ann was boarded by Acting Master Pat- 
ridge from the Kanawha, she was found to be in a 
sinking condition, her injection pipe having been 
cut, and the kingeton valve left open. The engine 
and fire-room were soon filled with water, but as 
she was built in four water-tight compartments, and 
the communication between them had not been 
opened, only oue compartment was filled. Through 
the persevering efforts of the officers of the Susque- j 
hannah and Kanawha, the leak was stopped and the i 
water pumped out. The Ann sailed from the mouth i 
of Mobile Bay on the. 4th inst, and arrived at Key 1 
West the 7th, where she lay two days taking in coal ] 
and having some repairs effected, 
months ending with June 30th, have been nearly 
$90,000. At one time 185 bands were employed, 
but the average number has been about 100. They 
receive from $31 to $42 per month, and one ration. 
They mess together, and have a relief fund, to 
which all contribute a portion of their pay, with 
which any who may be sick are supported. 
The Neep of the Hour.— The following is an 
extract from a private letter by one who participa¬ 
ted in the battles before Richmond:—“Say what 
they (the rebels) will, and boast as they may. ihov 
are reeling and staggering under onr blows* God 
grant that the people of the North may come at 
once to onr aid, and that the precious time now ripe 
for the overthrow may not he lost. Weeks, days, 
yes, hours, now, are of untold value to our cause. 
An immediate forward movement, with adequate 
force, would crash them out never to desolate the 
land again. If it is. not made, where shall this army 
find fortitude and patience in its long Buffering, its 
hope deferred, its heart and home sickness? Oh!

a number, and taking Capt Patterson, the leader, a 
prisoner. He also took one other prisoner. Onr

Large numbers of Indians have asked to be fur¬ 
nished with arms to operate against the secession¬ 
ists in the various tribes. 
It has just been ascertained that the rebel gov¬ 
ernment professes to have made treaties with the 
Quapaws. the Reserve Texas Indians, Camanches, 
Senecas, Shawnees, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Semi- 
noles and Cherokees, and appropriated money to 
carry them into effect. As the Senecas and Shaw- 
nees are known to be loyal to the United States, it 
is supposed a treaty has been made by a few only 
of their chiefs with the rebel government. 
The Postmaster General and Secretary of the 
Treasury have had almost daily consultation on the 
stamp currency. It seemed difficult to decide the 
question of jurisdiction. A compromise, however, 
has been effected between the two departments,’ 
namely: The PoBt-office department is to order and 
prepare the stamps, and deliver them to the Treas¬ 
ury department for distribution. They are to be of 
all denominations, from one to twenty cents. 
The following orders have been issued from the 
’“dvuo acpariuieme during cue week. 
Bxxctrrivi Maksio*, Washington, .Inly n, 1862. 
Ordered , That Major-General Henry IV. Ilalleok 
be assigned to the command of the whole of the 
^ United States, as (leneral-in- 
lvivuruau, ui weaver mm, oi which Gen. Pope gives 
the official report. It was executed by CoJ, Mans¬ 
field Davies, of the Harris Light Cavalry, with 370 
men of his command. They left Fredericksburg at 
7 o clock on Saturday evening, marched 40 miles in 
the course of the night, and at 8 o'clock were at the 
Beaver Dam station, which is fortymilcs from Rich¬ 
mond, on the Virginia Central To do this, they 
were obliged to go 15 miles within the enemy’s 
lines, and 22 miles beyond Jus scouts, who are with¬ 
in 18 miles of Fredericksburg. 
In order to secure their retreat, two squadrons 
were detached to guard the bridge over the North 
Anna river, several miles from the railroad, and 
other squadrons were detailed to guard and watch 
the several roads. Only about 140 men under Col. 
Davies reached the railroad station, where they 
— A temporary railroad bridge has been constructed at

— A number of gold and silver fish, sent out from Eng-

Hoped that these pncee will come down. The com¬ 
monest quality of tea, which seven-tenths of the 
public use, has advanced from fifty to seventy-five 
cents a pound, and the new bill leaves tea untaxed. 
Ordinary coffee ran un from fi n^ a to 
cents per pound, and the extra tax upon it is only 
three mills. All these, and other advances in the 
price, have been made before the articles were 
taxed, and now it is to be hoped that the retail 
prices will come back to something like what is 
fair. There was no fair pretext, from the first, for 
anything like the advance in prices which the gro¬ 
cers made seven months ago, and have adhered to.” 
A Rebel Colonel Weeps. —Col. Bratton, of 
South Carolina, was brought down on the Vander¬ 
bilt recently, a wounded prisoner. During the trip 
down he saw a wounded South Carolinian and a 
Massachusetts hoy, suffering side by side, engaged 
in an animated conversation. “My God!” ex¬ 
claimed the rebel Colonel, bursting into tears as he 
witnessed the scene, “ do you call this war? But a 
few hours ago,” continued he, “these two brave 
reaeueu me rauroau station, where they were 
entirely unexpected. They captured Captain J. L. 
Moseley, of Virginia, an aid of Gen. Stewart's, who 
was waiting for the cma. Tie navi upon his person 
a letter from Gen. Johnston recommending him to 
that officer, and recommending that officer to study 
Napoleon’s maxims. From its contents it appeared 
that Gen. Stewart was at Atlee’s Station, nine miles 
from Richmond, and that Gen. Stone well Jackson 
wap between Charlottesville and Staunton. Capt. 
Moseley was bearer of dispatches from Gen. Stew¬ 
art tc Gen. Jackson. 
Cot Davies destroyed the railroad and telegraph 
lines for four or five miles, and the station, contain- 
fug ammunition, flonr and other valuable property, 
the water tanks and a large quantity of cord wood, 
in the course of the hour which remained before the 
train from Richmond, which Capt Moseley had 
expeetec! to take, and which had on board a brigade 
of troopg going to re-enforce Jackson, was due. 
It is a .mistake to suppose, as a Washington paper 
stales, that any railroad bridge was destroyed, as 
there is none at Beaver Dam. The only bridge in 
uu within sight of Hanover Junction. Several 
prisoners, a large number of horses and many arms 
were brought back. A march of 70 miles and the 
encounter and defeat of two bodies of rebel cavalry 
were accomplished in 29 hours and without the loss 
of a man. The damage done to the Virginia Cen¬ 
tral Railroad by the expedition of the 19th had not 
yet been repaired. 
The Army of the IVesf are in about the same 
positions as heretofore reported. The rebel guerrilla 
raid into Kentucky has proved a failure, if any¬ 
thing of importance was attached to the movement 
Morgan and his men went out of the State a little 
more hurriedly, and with a good deal less grace 
than they entered. 
The steamer Evansville, from the Tennessee 
River, brings the news of a rebel raid at FJorence, 
Ala. They entered the city and burned all the 
warehouses used for commissary and quartermas¬ 
ter’s stores and all the cotton in the vicinity. They 
also seized the IT. S. steamer Colonna, used for con¬ 
veying army supplies over the shoals. They also 
took all the money belonging to the boat and pas¬ 
sengers and then burned her. The property de-

the nature of such obstructions, their extent, and 
the benefit likely to accrue to the rebels from their 
being so placed.

Representations having been made to the Presi-

had been required by the military authorities to 
take an oath ol allegiance, general or qualified, to 
the government, ltwas the duty of all a li.-us resid¬

laws, and respect the authorities of the government 
for any proceeding or conduct inconsistent with 
this obligation and subversion of that authority, 
they may rightfully be subjected to military re¬ 
straints, when there may be necessity, but they can 
not be required to take an oath to the government 
because it conflicts with a duty to their sovereigns! 
iherefore all such obligations heretofore taken, are 
anulled. Military commandants will abstain from 
enforcing similar obligations in future, and will, in 
lieu thereof, adopt such measures as they shall And

being left dead on the field. Col. Stacy, a notorious 
marauder of that section, is among the killed.
