ARRIVAL OF THE PONY EXPRESS FOUR DAYS LATER NEWS. The following is from the dispatch to the Union: New York, Oct. 16.—A epecial to the Post says: A Virginia paper of Monday contains the report that the steamship Nashville has gone to sea from Charleston. The New Hampshire quota of troops is now full, that State is the firet which bas completed ber levy of troops under the President's proclamation. The Indian Ageut for New Mexico has just arrived bere from the Territor:. All the pricipal men of the Navajo Indians came to Santa Fe and made a treaty of peace with our Government, with the ex ception of those of Arizona, where a small force of Texans have possession through the treachery of Col. Loring. The Federal force there under Col. Canby, who commands that military department, is from 12 to 15 thousand. The citizens have rai-ed three full regiments. Mr. Stock reports the people as loyal toa man, The object of the rebels is represented as being to seize the Government stores rather than conquor the country, There were no distarbances on the Plains, and when Mr. Stock was pasesing over them, the Indians were in the best possible humor from the fact of their receiving presents. The Navy Department is satisfied from official infurmation in their possession that the steamer Saranac is at San Francisco undergoing repairs, it is therefore untrue that she was Jost uff the mouth of the Mississippi in astorm. Barly this morning a U.S. gun-boat left this port in pursuit of the Nasbville. which is reported to hive run the blockade at Charleston on the 12th, The Surveyor seized this morning the ship Maid of New Orleans, just arrived from Liverpool, the vessel is partly owned in New Orleans, The Bremen, which arrived last evening, brought several cases of arms for cavalry. Poros!, Mo., Oct. 13.—We have the following account of the attack on the Big River yesterday; The enemy was discovered approaching the brigde about 7 o’clock, by a German picket who gave thealarm, Our troops, numbering between 40 and 50, instantly prepared for receiving them, though the torce against them numbered somewhere about 600, under lead of Jeff. Thompson himself. They stood their ground and from go.d execution. They were finally surrounded and obliged to surrender. Their loss is one killed and six wounded, Rebe loss is five killed and four wounded. After the surrender the Federal prisoners were sworn by Jeff. Thompson not to bear arms against the South, and released. The rebels then burned the bridge and retired. Jeff. Thompson eaid be bad 500 mounted men in that vicinity, aod he intended to burn other bridges on the road, and Pilot Knob, and lronton would soon be attacked and captured. All the troops along the road have been ordered to Ironton by Col. Carlin, commandant of that post, in anticipation of attack. A strong force of rebels is said to be in that vicinity threatening our forces at the terminus of the road. Col, Curlin’s force consists of 21st Indiana @nd a detachstone piles and other places of shelter did i afterwards afford to England and France. She intends acting alone with Mexico, as her interest and dignity requires. The London Post reiterates its statement that England will act jointly with Spain, and that tions will commence the first few weeks of the healthy season of the Gulf ports. Wasuinerton, Oct. 16th.—Thie furenoon a detachment of 1,000 neo from the Masa, 15th, and Col, Geary’s Pennesleania Regiment, crossed the river at Bolivar and attacked the enemy 1,600 strong. Afier a severe couflict the Federal troops drove the enemy back from the river capturing a 32-pounder. Our luge 6 killed; enemy’s loee aukoown. Gen. Scott thought thie intelli gence of so much importance thut be called on the President to communicate it, Letters received state that 500 armed rebele with 25 cannun are orgavizing in Decomaco on the eastern shore of Va The U.S. steamer Louisiana, which has been off Chincutague island, hus captured a dozen schoouers which had no clearance papers, On the 5th inst. two lanoches sent out to capture a rebel vessel io ebore were fired ou by a large force of rebels and one of our men wounded. The fire was returned and one of the rebele killed. The shot from the rebel guns burned a schooner. 200 Marylanders who were in the fight at Bull Run are beleived to bave left Baltimore this week for Virginia to juin the rebel army. It has long been thought they were in Baltimore, but the new police could not, and the old would not, ideutify them, The Times dispatch says: I think tbe rebel army has fallen back entirely from the line of Manassas, and established a new line on the west side of the Rappatbannock, with their right resting on Aquia creek and their left on the foot of Blue Mountaia It isetated that the rebels bave interpre ted our preparations for an expedition aa really conveying a contemplated attack on them at Aguia creck. To meet this, they have concentrated 35,000 or 40,000 troops in that locality. Dispatcbes to the Herald say that the aesigumeut of Gen. Mitchell in place of Gen. Tbomas, to command Camp Dickineon in Ky., is much taurmured at by Kentuckians, Geu, Mitchell may be very cfficient, but the people of Kentocky kuow Gen. Themas and bave confidence in bim, and are anx ions that he shoald retain the command, The Harriet Lane has just returned from off Indian Head with Commodore Craven on buard. She is armed with 32-pounders and one eight inch rifled gun on ber forecastle. She willrequire a mach heavier armament than 32-pounders to cope with the new batteries, and will probably retura tomorrow with @ beavier one. Bautimore, Oct. 17th.—A gentleman from near Harper’s Ferry furnishes the particaiors of a fight between six companies, consisting of parts of the 18th Peno. aud 3rd Wisconsin and 5th Maes,, under command ot Col. Geary, and 500 rebels. Early yesterday moruing the rebels showed them selves on Bolivar Highte at Harper’s Ferry and commenced au attack with artillery ou three companies under Maj. T. P. Gould stationed on the north side of the Potomac. A constant firing was kept up for some hours, when three compan es of the 3d Wisconsin crossed the river, formed into line aod drove the enemy back, capturiog one of their heavy guns, They were, however, compelled to retreat, which they did in good order, to the river. Here they were reinforced by three other companies, and they then, with Colorel Geary ac their head, marched upon theenemy and after sharp fighting drove them from their position and recaptured the 32-pounder—a co lumbiad. Our forces bad but three pieces of artillerv, and these were fired from this side of the river until the enemy retreated. The enemy bad 7 pieces of artillery and 500 cavalry togetber with their infantry, and were completely routed and driven back ment of 2d Cavalry, which with our strong . some three miles.

When about half a mile front the river they were attacked by fifteen rebels, and two were instantly killed. Among the wounted was my informant—corporal Gray. As he lay upon the ground, wounded, a rebel named Mc: ° Carthy Lowe, rushed upon him and shot him twice He was stopped from firing the third time by his captain. One of the balls penetrated Gray’s back and came out on the left side; the other lodged in his left lung. His two weeks stay at Fairfax Court House was not unpleasant, conninering the circumstances. He saw Beauregard and Longstreet in conversation often, and inferred that Longstreet held some important commission. On one occasion Longstreet said to the surgeon that the rebel forces in front of Washington were so scattered that if attacked at any point on the line there must necessarily be an abrupt retreat upon Manassas, their Gibralter. ‘They think it is impossible to be driven from that point. It is believed that Beauregard would burn the town of Fairfax Court House if compelled to evacuate. New Yorx, Oct. 17th—The fleet which sailed from this point on Sunday arrived at Old Piont on Monday afternoon, causing great excitement by its extensive character. A flag of truce came down from Norfolk on the same day, but Gen. Wool refused to receive it, The circular of Secretary Seward causes a depression in stocks to-day, and especially in Government securities. Came McKinstry, near Syracuse, Mo., Oct. 15th.—The lines from Sedalia report nothing new there, or at Georgetown. These places as well as Boonville, remain quiet. Small parties of rebels are said to’ be foraging within sixty miles of Georgetown, but they invariably take to flight when they see any of our troops. Letters received here from Priee’s army state that Gov. Jackson is at presont very dissipated and bordering on the eve of delirium tremens. He often roams about the camp like a maniae. John Quincy Adams on Martial Law. The following is an extract from a speech delivered April 14, 1842, in the U. S. House of Represeutatives, by Ex-President John Quiucy Adams, Itis the opinion of a very learned man, and will be read with interest iu these times, when the right to confiscate the property of rebels is questioned by those whose sympathies are with the rebellion aud not with the Government; When your country is actually in war, whether it be a war of invasion or a war of insurrection, Congress has power to carry on the war, aud must carry it on according to the laws of war, and by the laws of war ao invaded country bas all its laws avd municipal institutions swept by the board, and wartial law takes the place of them, Thie power in Congress bas perbaps never been called into exercise under the present Constitution of the United States, But when the laws of war are iv force, what I ask, is oue of those laws? It is this: that when a country is invaded, and two hostile armies are set iu martial array, the commanders of both armies bave puwer to emaacipate a)! the slaves in the invaded territory. Nor is this a mere theoretic statement, The history of South America shows that the doctrine has been carried into execution within the last thirty years, Slavery was abolished in Colombia, first by the Spanish General Morillo, and secondly by the American General Bolivar. It was abulished by virtue of a military command given at the bead of the army, and itsa bolisbmeot continues to be a law to thisday. It was abolished by the laws of war, and not by municipal enactmeuts, I might furnish a thousand proofs to show that the pretensions of gentlemen tu the sanctity of their municipal institutions, under a state of invasion and of actual war, whether servile, civil, or foreign, are wholly unfounded, and that the laws of war do, in all such cases, take precedence. I lay this down as the law of nations, I say that . the military authority takes, for the time, the place of all municipal institutions, slavery among the rest. Under that state of things, s0 far fromits being true that the States where slavery exists bave the exclusive management of the subject, not only the President of the United States, but the /commander of the army, has power to order the universal emancipation of the slaves. I A Famovs Drum.—They bave a drum in the Olio Vifth Regiment, now on daty in Missouri whieb, is carried by a boy named Bank. His grandfather beat it in the old Revolutiovary time—his father carried it in the Mexican war and it is thus a third time made available during ove of our great historical epochs,

When about half a mile front the river they were attacked by fifteen rebels, and two were instantly killed. Among the wounted was my informant—corporal Gray. As he lay upon the ground, wounded, a rebel named Mc: ° Carthy Lowe, rushed upon him and shot him twice He was stopped from firing the third time by his captain. One of the balls penetrated Gray’s back and came out on the left side; the other lodged in his left lung. His two weeks stay at Fairfax Court House was not unpleasant, conninering the circumstances. He saw Beauregard and Longstreet in conversation often, and inferred that Longstreet held some important commission. On one occasion Longstreet said to the surgeon that the rebel forces in front of Washington were so scattered that if attacked at any point on the line there must necessarily be an abrupt retreat upon Manassas, their Gibralter. ‘They think it is impossible to be driven from that point. It is believed that Beauregard would burn the town of Fairfax Court House if compelled to evacuate. New Yorx, Oct. 17th—The fleet which sailed from this point on Sunday arrived at Old Piont on Monday afternoon, causing great excitement by its extensive character. A flag of truce came down from Norfolk on the same day, but Gen.

Came McKinstry, near Syracuse, Mo., Oct. 15th.—The lines from Sedalia report nothing new there, or at Georgetown. These places as well as Boonville, remain quiet. Small parties of rebels are said to’ be foraging within sixty miles of Georgetown, but they invariably take to flight when they see any of our troops. Letters received here from Priee’s army state that Gov. Jackson is at presont very dissipated and bordering on the eve of delirium tremens. He often roams about the camp like a maniae. John Quincy Adams on Martial Law. The following is an extract from a speech delivered April 14, 1842, in the U. S. House of Represeutatives, by Ex-President John Quiucy Adams, Itis the opinion of a very learned man, and will be read with interest iu these times, when the right to confiscate the property of rebels is questioned by those whose sympathies are with the rebellion aud not with the Government; When your country is actually in war, whether it be a war of invasion or a war of insurrection, Congress has power to carry on the war, aud must carry it on according to the laws of war, and by the laws of war ao invaded country bas all its laws avd municipal institutions swept by the board, and wartial law takes the place of them, Thie power in Congress bas perbaps never been called into exercise under the present Constitution of the United States, But when the laws of war are iv force, what I ask, is oue of those laws? It is this: that when a country is invaded, and two hostile armies are set iu martial array, the commanders of both armies bave puwer to emaacipate a)! the slaves in the invaded territory. Nor is this a mere theoretic statement, The history of South America shows that the doctrine has been carried into execution within the last thirty years, Slavery was abolished in Colombia, first by the Spanish General Morillo, and secondly by the American General Bolivar. It was abulished by virtue of a military command given at the bead of the army, and itsa bolisbmeot continues to be a law to thisday. It was abolished by the laws of war, and not by municipal enactmeuts, I might furnish a thousand proofs to show that the pretensions of gentlemen tu the sanctity of their municipal institutions, under a state of invasion and of actual war, whether servile, civil, or foreign, are wholly unfounded, and that the laws of war do, in all such cases, take precedence. I lay this down as the law of nations, I say that . the military authority takes, for the time, the place of all municipal institutions, slavery among the rest. Under that state of things, s0 far fromits being true that the States where slavery exists bave the exclusive management of the subject, not only the President of the United States, but the /commander of the army, has power to order the universal emancipation of the slaves.
