The letter was den'cd insertiou in the Tribune, and was published in the New Harmony (Ind.) Advertiser, the placc where Mr. Owen rcsides. He says:

If vou had been, as I have','' within a day's journey of a shelled city it you had tread, as I have, letters written on the spot bv the wretched sufferers, detailing the 'horrors around thetu—how the bombs of the Bourbon King, dropping through the 'roofs of the houses, exploding iu chamber and parlor, dealt death and mutilation to (feeble age, to hepless infancy, to that sex which the lion himself is said to spare it I ycu had roficctcd that, in such a ease, the jiunoceut must suffer with the guilty, 1. can {not believe that you could have brougni yourself to urge the demolition, by shot land shell, of Baltimore's streets.

IATAOK BEPVBLICAN AMAVLTI THE APHINIBTBATIM.^:

The New York Tribune, for sonre son or other, or for no reason, is excessively bitter in its hatred of the Administration. It was for awhile supposed .that the Tribunes hostility was all directed against Mr. Seward. Bat it is evident that the malady has spread until it embraces the President, if not all of Mr. Seward's colleagnes, as well. Every day that journal contains matter which the most expansive charity can hardly account for on any other hypothesis than that it is dictated by a spirit of vindictiveness. But the worst exhibition of the kind we have ever seen is a burlesque Washington dispatch in the Tribune of Saturday. We quote it as a curiosity: [Correspondence

Our soldiers have been requested to fire blank catridges in all engagements with Southern forecs.

Should a Democratic paper get up and publish such a malignant, if not such an unmanly assault upon the Administration, the whole Republican press would cry .shame, and they would not be far wrong. For it docs not comport with our ideas of manly attack to insinuate a corrupt understanding with traitors: and the Tribune's "strange" means that if it has any meaning.

We ought, perhaps, to assume that the Tribune KNOWS the men who compose this Administration much better thati wc Democrats possibly can: ami "that it is hence more likely to understand the motives by which they arc actuated, as well as the policy they will pursue.

.ST. NICHOLAS HOTEL,

Cumberland, Md., June 20,' 1861. Editor Sentinel: Qoiet reigns again in Cumberland. Yesterday was a day that will long be remembered by the citizens 6f this city, inasmuch as they experienced the sad forebodings of that same reign of terror which has held sway in this section, but hitherto has not been manifest in their .own quiet city. The pictures of suffering

and terror which newspapers have presented, caused by Jeff. Davis's lovers of liberty—were seen by us yesterday, painted in their brightest colors. "The- bridge at 21," which has been guarded by the Home Guard of Cumberland, (and when attacks have been threatened or expected, by an additional force from our regiment,) was burned in spite of tbe efforts of the gallant twenty-sis, who have gained the reputation of Spartan valor for their defence of the bridge. Three thousand of the Virginia chivalry marched boldly up, and after a brilliant ci.arge of an hour and a half, succeeded with a slight loss on their side, in taking tbe bridge from the plucky twenty-six of the Cumberland Home Guard. This little band fought the hosts of the chivalry of the F. F.Y.'s more than an hour, and finding that they could not longer sustain their ground, spiked their cannon, a six-pounder, threw it into the river, and retreated to Cumberland without the loss of a man. After they had gone, fearlessly and boldly marched on the brave rebel cavalry and infantry—and burned the bridge.

|of the town, where wo could, with the sn-iTK-iior advantages? of the position, give the rebels a fight. Jn less than 3ii hour every itbing was placed aboard wagons carts aud drays, and wo were prepared to move at a. moment's warning. Meanwhile the grea'-!e-,t oM'itement prevailed ill t'.wn. 1 he jp'-i'p'ie were ioi-y in rtono-viog their famiiie?, wliiic rlie lftime (u:tr:.t.-, jmoned by the ringing of boil-, seiX'-d tiieir mu.-lrets to a.-s st in d.-fcuding their town.

Old men and jbovs came flocking in from the country with their triu-'y rillcs, to do what they could, as tiie ro]» r! readied thcui of Mir prectirions .situation. Vou can well imagine the condition of tilings in the. city, with' I an interna! foe. secretly rejoicing, while I the Union men have strongly identified themselves with tbe Federal Government. fearful for the safety of their city and' and families, are still firmly determined to |defend them to the last.

They don't appreciate anything. It seems as if they didn't know anything. Still from this class are made up the aforesaid skillful military engineers and generals, who are pitching intp our grand movements. They are in favor of all starting, and sweep trees, mountains, men, niggers and all into the Gulf without further ceremony, and think that it is owing to to the cowardice of Col. Wallace, Gen. Patterson and Lieut. Gen. Scott that it isn't done, We trust and believe that the people of Indiana have more confidence in the military skill and knowledge of the officers of the Eleventh, who have, by their own movements, achieved the most important advantage gained during the campaign, viz: the Harper's Ferry evacuation.

The people of the old Iloosier State have already reason to be proud of the 11th Regiment. They Jiavo.accomplished a mission. The brilliant dash made at Romney, where they routed five hundred men, struck terror into the hearts of the rebels, who immediately retreated from Harper's Ferry, thus throwing that important post into the hands of the Federal troops. The Baltimore and Ohio Road is now entirely in Government hands, which will be in running order in a few weeks. (Vide Philadelphia North American, 20th inst.) This move is attributed to the order of Gen. Patterson, but is due entirely to the gallant Colonel who leads us. After such an advantage gained for our country as that, by one regiment alone, let not a single paper give ear to words of complaint, uttered by a single man, but herald this grand accomplishment throughout the domains of Hoosiercdom, and place it' high to our crcdit. If one regiment is not cntirel)' perfect in all its arrangements, (according to some men's talk,) remember that officials who have seen others, place us far above many of the Eastern regiments, and the Government considers General Paterson's division "the most cf-

I presume this brilliant victory will be heraJded throughout the South with the usual extravaganzas, magnifying our little squad of 26 to 5,000 black abolitionists. But you wouder why the people of Cumberland were thrown iuto such a state of consternation—having achieved so much with so few—And with a regiment to defend them. The morning train, which leaves here at 6 A. M., came tearing back into town, bringing a report that the bridge had been destroyed by 3,000 rebels, who, in their nharge killed more than half of the Cumberland Guard and took the rest prisoners that they then marched on to Piedmont, had laid the town in ashes, and an advance guard of 1,4'.)0 cavalry were speeding on to Cumberland, followed up by 2,000 infantry, aceompanied by a battery, with the intention of annihilating our regiment and burning the city. With such a report, and from a seemingly authentic source, judge of the effect, of the news at the city as well as at the city as well as at, the camp. We had no artiUerv nor cava!- potent cf any in service, and we have the rv, and numbered less than" one fourth honor to be under his command. This is their force. To slop at our camp would I opinion of military men Now any be madness, inaMoueh as our camp ground volunteer who will after lie returns home, .i.,eS not furnish a position to contend with say a single word against the general man|such a superior force. Orders were im- '."gemeni of the regiment, and complain of !mediately given to strike touts, pac provisions and move to the opposite side

the officers he should be frowned upon, and considered 'as one who wished to net the rowdy and not the soldier.

But I have wandered from my story. Wc halted just outside the city, where (with the natural advantages, and the numerous -tone walls, trees, and brick houses in the vicinity,) we could have made it hotwork for tbe rebels. Ifere we waited for them until the safe arrival of the Home 'iu:-1 Guard revealed the tacts. Some.of these officers—idiots, cowards, and poor specimens at the best—have not only written \Y that til
