Complimentary to the Press. Tlio following communication lias been received by the members of the "Associated Press" from Peter Cooper, Esq., President of the Atlantic Telegraph Company : "Gentlemen: In view of the national importance of the great work now in progress, and about to be consumatcd by the laying of the transatlantic cable, and the deep interest taken by the public in the buoq^ss of the enterprise, I have the pleasure, as "President of the New York. Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Company, and also as President of the American Telegraph Compnnj', of tendering to you the free use of our lines on the arrival of tlie steamers at Newfoundland, for any communications you rafijT^esire to transmit having rcforenco to the laying or landing of the cable, aud the incidents connected therewith." _ '? Another "Difficulty." It is stated that among the dispatchos just received by government is the correspondence between one of our naval officers nnd-tlio Governor or SiqgAporo, relative .to his ordering our flag to be hauled down by a British officer from the Dutch barque Henrietta Maria, which had been abandoned by her officers, and most of her crey., taken possession of bv the master of an .A/Iieiricfh ship. Governor Bluiidell earnestly disclaims nny want of respcct to the American flag or to the rights of American citizens in the steps ho felt it to bo bis duty to take, but the matter does not here terminate. The barque was delivered to the government of tUe-Nethcrlanda, in India on 4kfegfr>und that the vessel being Dutch, tlio Chinese coolies found on'board, if innoccnt of mutiiiy, bad claim on the owners, and if guilty, ware punishable only by the Dutch criminal court. * Stoppage of Cotton Mills. The Providcnce Journal says :-?The number of cotton looms that have stopped in New England, in consequence of the price of cotton and low price of goods, is about 6,000, nod orders "have been given to stop many more as fast as the yarn runs out. We heard lately of two large mills that will ran only till tho cotton now in process of manufacture is exhausted. I (This is the only remedy. We talk of tlio Mioy^. supply of cotton. The evil is not there; it ia the over supply of machinery. The looms now In operation are not only too many for the supply of cotton; they are too many for the demand for cotton goods at anything like the* prices which alone, at tho present cost of the raw material, can return a now dollar for an oia one. in .England, thirty thousand looms have been stoped, and prices have qnickly responded to this judicious curtailment of production. ^ Dariwo Assault and RonnKny..?'We understand that Mr. #nckson Clark, of this city, was met by two men, on Tuesday afternoon last, a few; miles from Ilamburg, on the 809th Carolina side of the river, who very socially approached bim. and! ?htl* In c**ded <p tying \>p^ gtggiog I *" Washington Troop Anniversary.

There is no good foundation for tha report I that the American forces in tho China waters ' liavc seized the island of Formosa, and the rumor hns probably arisen fiotn the appearance of a United States war vessel at the island in question, to investigate tlic nlloged murders of Bhipwrceked sailors in tluil vicinity. The Dofencs of Charleston. Tlic Moroniy gives nn account of n roccnt visit to Fort Sumter, now in tlic course of erection, l?ut which will soon lie completed. It says tlint this work is n eostlc designed for throe tiers of very heavy sliot and shell guns, and that it occupies tho inost important, position for the dcfcnce of the liarbor of Charleston. The Mercury remarks: As this fort will be nearly completed next winter, we trust Congress will make nn appropriation to' commence a strong work at Fort Johnson, which is of the ut most importance for the protection of Charleston, not only against n licet, but as the key to our dofence from a land or boat attack liy the Sto110 River.

Together, these various forts and butteries could fire over fifteen tons of metal at every discharge, of which one to two thirds could be concentrated upon a fleet entering or within the liWrbor. What floating craft could withstand an instant this iron storm of shot, shells, and red hot bnlls, raining five to ten tons of metal every five minutes ? J'KATU vr 1IIOSIAH J?ICK, fiVQ., U tj.

"Soldier rest 1 thy warfare o'er. Dream of fighting fields no more j *, Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking. Morn of toil, nor night of waking." There was the nohle chief, the father of hi* Regiment, hearing a name honorably dist inguished throughout the revolution, identified willi every war, since our independence, and lirimful of every association connected with . hivalry ; a name which cannot be heardwithuit exciting pciitimouts of honor nml patriotism?Pierce M.

No oiiu could mistake liis inaiincr, when lie rciscivcd the ling which he loved so well from the hands of the Mayor of Charleston. There was a tone in t hat clarion voice, nnd a lire in that eye, which plainly promised "Willi it, when the battle's done ; Or, on it, from the field. There was one sentiment which inspired him throughout the campaign, nnd which, upon i-very occasion of peril, spoke forth in clni|ucnt harangues to his Regiment. lie would say Ill-it S'liith Carolina had always claimed n character for spirit, and had sometime* l>ceti Lauuted as ''the chivajrj*,"?that the Regiment bore her ensign nnd her honor, and that they must perish?perish to a man?rather linn h ive her lirightescutcheon larnislicd by any net-of theirs, lie succeeded eminently in breathing his own R|iirit of intense State pride and patriotism into his Regiment, and the result is known.

(Quickened by the sound of cannon, Shields' lb-igade wns soon up, nnd wns retained for n few moments in reserve nt Cayacan, where the Gencral-iu-Chicf had taken his stand. (Jen.

From his position lie could see elenr awny to the Southern gates ol tlio city, nnd over the whole intermediate ground. It wns a new field to him, nnd he found himself going into a general battle, with' out even n rcconnoissnnce. lie ol>scrvcd Uiirly-two thousand Mexicans, wlio were engaged in (lint battle, draw up into two long columns,?one directly ncross his palli, and already engaged, w >? lining with n blaze of musketry, the dykes of tho river Cliurnbusco far up and down. In this line, nbnut tho ccntre where the road croeaed tho ri*er, was the the (etc du pont, and a little to the right* and front, ntood the vent of San l'ablo, both of which were lliuneondrring upon his centre.

In it stood Santa Anna with a brilliant staff.

As soon as these dispositions were observed by the Oonnral he ordered the Brigades oi fierce ami ttlucMs to turn llic cnceiv's right, cross the river nliovc and attack the column of reserve. This was a perilous service. It could only be performed by going far to tlie front, beyond the reach of speedy support.
