The Late Theodore Winthrop.*
To lose a treasure just at the moment it was
found must be loss indeed. A few months
ago there appeared in the dltiontic Month it,
author's name not mentioned, the first part of
an account of the March of the Seventh New
York Regiment to Washington ? through Bal
timore. There was freshness, nerve, elo
quence, in the sketch—it was evidently flung
off by a man of genius. A miserable Bohe
mian of New York confidently claimed
it as his own, and Strutted, awhile, in
the stolen plumes. Not for long. On the
10th of June, at Great Bethel, the military
secretary of General BUTLER fell in battle.
His name was THEODORE Wnrrunoe. He was
one of the old WINTHROP family formerly of
Boston—a man of gentle blood" and high
culture. This was the unknown writer in the
Atlantic Monthly. Besides the article already
mentioned, the conclusion of which appeared
in the July number, with his name attached,
there was published front his pen a posthu
mous vivid sketch, called cc Washington as a
Camp." On such performances, brief and
slight, Wricrnnoe's reputation was made—in
some degree, perhaps, aided by the eircum-:
stance of his honorable death as a patriot
soldier.
He wanted some months of thirty-three;
when he died. He was a native of New Ha-.
von, and graduated at Yale College, with even
brilliant success, at the age of twenty. But
for ill health he would have studied for the
IMMOsy or a professorship after leaving.
college. He visited Europe ; lived for a time
in Panama ; travelled through California and
Oregon ; visited Vancouver's Island, Puget
Sound, and the Hudson Bay ComPanY's sta
tion there ; joined Lieutenant STRAIN'S Expe
dition ; returned, in 1854, still in feeble
health ; electioneered in this State for Fan-
StORT, iii 18L6 ; became a lawyer, and tried to
practice law, first itt St. Louis and then in New
York ; but bad health always prevented his ta
king a positive stand in life. He went to live
on Staten Island, where he won the friendship
and enjoyed the society of GEORGE WILLIAM
CUnTIS, and devoted himself to writing, for
which he always had a passion. When the
news of the capture of Fort Sumpter t99IC.
place, he enrolled himself in the artillery corps
of the New York Seventh. Arrived at Fort
ress Monroe, he was made acting military se
cretary and aid to General BUTLER. 119 had
left the armory door of the Seventh, at New
York, on the 19th April, 1861, with his hand
upon a howitzer : his biographer tells us " on
the 21st of June his body lay upon the saute
howitzer, at the same door, wrapped in the flag
for which he gladly died as the symhol of hu-
Man freedom." But, as the Roman said, Non
omnis moriar. Such men are not lost.
Peace, peace'. he is not dead, he doth not sleep—
He Rath awakened from the dream of life.
THEODORE WINTHROP left behind him seve
ral novels, tales, sketches of travel ; and jour
nals. 1. - et the article on the March of the
New York Seventh, in the Atlantic Monthly,
was his first published writing. This very
day, TICKNOR & ruzns, of : Boston, will pub,
Usti a work of fiction, called "Cecil Dreeme,"
to which his friend CCRTIS has contributed an
interesting biography, whence we draw Many
of the facts which we record in this brief and
rapid notice. Other productions from his pen
will follow.
We have read "Cecil Dreeme" with the
eager pleasure which a work of genius always
creates. It is a romance of New York society
—but totally_aut_of • -
a won-out subject. Unlike any other novel
in our language, it reminds us of the best pro
ductions of ItONOIIE DE BALzAc—With this dif
ference, that while it shows the rich fancy
and close observation of thoSe fictions, it has
a purity which they too often want, and the
high poetic elevation which the French writer
could not reach, simply because it was not
in Ids nature. The characters in cceecil
Dreeme" are wonderfully individualized.
They seem like real, hregthing pe r s on s, Th e
book is destined to have great success. Alas
that THEODORE WiNTinioe did not live to see
the creature of his fancy bodily before
- him, as
a book ! ;11:'

LETTER FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
The Great Naval Expedition.
STRASfhiIIP ATLANTIC'.
ANNAPOLIS ROADS, October 20, 1861.
The combined naval and military expedition,
whose destination and material have lately been
the object of so much surmise, will start from this
harbor tomorrow (Monday, October 21,) before sun
rise. As the general in command has expressly re
quested that no details of its force should be made
public previous to the departure of the fleet, this
letter will be sent to you from Old Point Comfort.
After our arrival there no oljoctioit is made to the
publication of the following details :
Brigadier General T. W. Sherman is in command
of the military forces of the expedition. Ile has
under his orders three brigades., Sh 9 fires command,
ell by general Egbert L. Vick-, the second by Gene.
ral Isaac Stevens, the third by General Wright.
The following regiments are comprised in the dif
ferent brigades :
The Third New Hampshire. Colonel Fellows; the
Fourth New Hampshire. Colonel Whipple; the
Forty-sixth New York, Colonel Rosa; the Forty
seventh New York. Colonel Moore; the Forty
eighth New Yorks Oelotiel Perry; the Seventy--
first New York, under Captain Morrison command
ing; the Eighth Maine, Colonel Lee Strickland;
the Ninth Maine, Colonel Rich ; the Eighth Michi
gan ; the Sixth Conneetieut, Colonel Cast; the Se
venth Connecticut ; Colonel Terry; the Fiftieth
Pennsylvania. Besides these, the famous Rhode
Island battery, in connection with which General
Sherman won his best-known laurels, and which is
now eozimanticd by Captain Hamilton, imam's?,
nies the expedition; it consists of six guns, one
hundred and forty men, and one hundred and twenty
horses.
At Hampton Roads there are waiting ni the
Third Rhode Island Regiment, and Lieut. Colonel
Serrell'e battalion of engineers, 500 strong; also
one thousand articles of property, recently declared
contraband of war, and which, it is supposed, will
prove eminently servieeable in the operations of
the expedition. Six transports are at Old Point
loaded with stores, and two loaded with horses and
wagons, accompany those that sail from Annapolis.
Additions of war steamers anti ettattata ftre to be
made to the fleet at Old Point ; additions, of course;
of the fiest.:_isuportswee. Of these_ I -401 ad. se
You after I am - d 7 efliiifellinforiated. Flag Officer
Goldsborough is to be in command of the naval
form, but until mixing et Fortress Monroe, I
shall not be in a position to state reliably anything
further relative to that portion of the expedition.
So much for the statistical portions of news: The
troops themselves seem to be in excellent spirits
and good health. They have been carefully clad
and kept. most of them having been at Annapolis
for the past two or three weeks, waiting orders to
depart. They are young troops, but so are most of
those who are in the Federal armies, and if many
have not yet seen Are. they are no worse off in that
respect than the opponents they are likely to find.
All anticipate, with the greatest enthusiasm, the
opportunity of testing their courage, and though
the lavas, who know the real difficulties of such
an enterprise AS lies before them, are undoubtedly
anxious, that very anxiety is good proof that
nothing will be undertaken carelessly or unad
visedly.
The fleet of twenty vessels, lying at the wharves,
or farther out in the roads, presents an appearance
such as has never been witnessed before on this conti
nent. All of the transports have received their
emplement of soldiers, and arc black with the
human freight ; tugs are plying constantly,
bearing a general and his staff to his head
quarters on board ship, carrying messages
to and from shore, taking a battery or a load of wa•
gone or horses to the transport for which they are
destined. and adding to the unprecedented liveli
ness of the spectacle. Annapolis ; in the background,
a dull. antiquated Catholic town, looks on with
quiet wonder, The State House, situated an a hill,
lifts up the American Bag, and the Naval Academy
stretches along the beach, reminding me of those
days in April when the New York Seventh found
a shelter there before its famous march to Washing
ton. Sunday, though it 18, long lines of horses anti
army wagons are wending their way to the wharves,
aids-de-camp are galloping to and fro. sentinels
are pacing their rounds, and find frequent occasion
to challenge the strugglere, Everything indicates
the presence of horrida belle. And yet, in that
very State House, a hundred yards away, Wash
ington some eighty years ago resigned the command
of the American army, little dreaming ef the put
pose for which other American armies should as
semble within the century, and almost on the very
spot hallowed by such associations. Those who in
s cria r n e c t :f7e P o n n t t 4 e4 li la i t til e the the p re retra. lion do an ns d no h w av m en akin ow
g
to annihilate it, must entertain any but pleasing an
ticipations from the sight which here gladdens
loyal eyes.
Yet it will not do to be too sanguine. A naval
expedition is liable to so many disasters ; is subject
to so many chances from which operations on land
are exempt ; some great storm may scatter and
disable the squadron before it ever reaches the
place of its destination ; some slight and altogether
unforeseen obstacle may disconcert all the best laid
plans of skilful contrivers. Contrary winds may
hear our ships away free% the coast they wish to
conquer ; provoking fogs may delay their progress
till their supply of water gives out; disease may
possibly make its appearance in the closely crowd
ed transports despite the wiliest precautions. And
then the difficulties and dangers of landing are
universal. should it be the object of the expedi
tion to land forces in the face of hostile batteries,
which is known to be an operation of groator)iatard
than any other peculiar to military science. If sue:
eessfully accomplished, so much more the credit to
officers and men ; but if mishaps occur, the country
must make due allowance. In fact ; the country hoe
scarcely any appreciation of the variety and
number of difficulties that beset every step of such
an enterprise. There seems to me, who have
watched ninny of the movements of this enterprise
nearly from its inception ; to have been the utmost
pains and" care taken to avoid as many of those
difficulties as possible, or rather to conquer them.
for avoidance is not possible; and yet many are
almost inseparable. The getting together of the
troops; their selection; the preparing stores of am

enter small schooners, laden with Enfield rifles,

The following statement from the New York
Tribnne, of yesterday, wilt be interestiug to many
who RI% making ihpililes in reference to that move

The following account of the battle, its begin
ning and its consequence, is derived from Colonel
Colburn, Gen. McClellan's aid. who accompanied
him to Edwards' Ferry, and returned with him to
night :
On Saturday afternoon,4 captain 'and- eighteen
in:an of Col. Levens' Fifteenth Massaehusntts Regi
ment were orared by Oen. Stone to cross the river
at Harrison's Island, fefleW A hristic path wlibin_
had been discovered. to the vicinity of Leesburg,
and report what was seen. The captain thought he
saw thirty rebel tents, and brought back word to
that effect. Acting upon the report, Gen. Stone
ient five companies of Col. Devens' regiment, sup
ported by five Companies of Col, Lee a Maamehus
setts Twentieth, to capture the supposed rebel camp
On arriving at the spot. they found no tents and
saw no enemy. They fell back u. short distance,
took position, and sent word back.
Gen. Stone. having information that the rebel
Con. gYilibl litHi 5,000 men near Leesburg, and
that he had sent his baggage over Goose Creek to
the south. that he might not be impeded in retir
ing to Manassas if attacked by a superior force.
and perceiving that the coast was clear. concluded
to attempt the capture of Evans' whole force. Col.
Misr teak sDhilliába_ Gee. Stone gave him t,seo
men, being Col. Baker's own brigade and the Tam
many Regiment, with cavalry, and as much artil
lery as the enemy had, and the residue of the
Fifteenth and Twentieth Massachusetts, being the
best regiments he had. New heAiis the conflict of
statements According to Cot. "Collium, Col. Ba
ker's orders were to cross at Ifarrison's Island
not to go beyond the island, unless his means of
transportation were ample ; not to move from the
Virginia bank of the river until the whele force
weir over; when he advanced, to be careful in
sending out scouts and skirmishers : in protecting
his flanks and guarding his rear; and on no ac
count to make a demonstration unless so posted as
to feel sure of success.
Colonel Baker. however, according to Col. Col
burn's statementonoved forward before more than
700 or SOO had crossed. With that number, leaving,
no guard at the river, and keeping up no communi
cation with it, so that three companies. which sub
sequently crossed, were unable to join him. After
be had been joined by the nine Mos:--achusetts
companies, under command of Col. Devens ' he,
with about 1.800 men, was attacked by Gen.
Evans' whole force, with the exception of his
battery. which remained on a hill opposite Edwards'
Ferry, being threatened by Gen. Stone, who made
a feint r oroesing in order: to keep it there.
During the fight our men. although outnumbered
three to one : fought with the utmost bravery
throughout, as bravely after the fall of officers as
before, and to the last of their ammunition. Gra
dually retreating to the river, they were there 6P
dered by their officers to throw their guns into the
water. to save them from the enemy. and all that
could to swim for the Island. The boats were not
to be found. They had been swamped in carrying
over the wounded, how many of wham ware
drowned is not known, as swimmers were shot in
the water.
General McClellan is delighted with the beha
vior of the troops throughout, and is in excellent
heart .9t keowing that. Merl are in Ma com
mand. He found neither those that were in nor
those that were out of the engagement demoralized
in the slightest, but eager to fight.
On hearing of the disaster, he telegraphed Gen.
Banks to take command, and to eross a portion of
his force immediately. Accordingly, on Monday
night, 4.400 men were taken across at Edwards'
Ferry. Gen. McClellan found them on the Vir
ginia bank of the river on Tuesday night.
IYedneadtty a report came from the other side
that the enemy was about to attack our position.
Preparations were made to reinforce. It was, how
ever. blowing a gale. and the river was very high,
seven feet on an average. The first attempt to
cross was foiled ; altbough the Moat was taken a
ialie up stream. 'Luckily, the threatened attack
turned out to be a false alarm.
The loss in killed, wounded. and missing, was
estimated this morning, when Gen. McClellan left.
at 625 men, of whom 79 are thought to have hen
killed, and lie wounded. Gen. Stone telegraphs
this evening, however, that many of the missing
are coming in. The sergeant major and a captain
of the Mamichusetts Fifteenth, at first reported
lost, have returned.
While our 4,400 men were on the Virginia bank
of Edward's Ferry, General Lander, who was here
when the engagement was reported, but rode up
the river immediately, made a reconnoisanee
toward Leesburg with 400 or 500 men. He encoun
tered a body of rebels estiiusatsd Rt 1000 men. and
put them to flight, taking possession of the field, on
which eight bodies were found. The only casualty
on our side was to General Lander,
who received s
severe flesh wound in the calf of his leg.

directly - to that point. Colonel Plummer will be
recollected as Captain Plummer of the regular
army, who distinguished himself at the battle of
Wilson's Creek.
While he .pursuedLhis march from Cape Girar
deau on the enemy, Col. Carlin, in command at
Pilot Knob, ordered troops to march in the direc
tion of Fredericktown, where the rebels were re
ported to be in force. under the command of Jeff.
Thompson and Lowe. Major daritt. of the First
Indiana . Cavalry, with six companies was ordered
to the assistance of Capt. Hawkins' Independent
Missouri Cavalry, and, having effected a junction
with him, add finding the enemy in largely supe
rior force. they despatched a messenger for addi
tionol forces. This was cn Wednesday.
As soon as it could be done. Colonel Alexander's
Illinois Twenty-first and one gun were sent forward
by Colonel Carlin. It was this force that had the
engagement with the enemy on Thursday morning.
and in which, by drawing them into ambush, a
largo number were killed, and the rebels compelled
to retreat in confusion.
The same force—and perhaps a hirer number—
from the Pilot 'Knob. must have participated in the
battle of the 21st. Major Gavitt's command was
in the thickest thQ fight, and he and Captain
Hymen perilled and lost their lives for the honor of
the country and the safety of the Union.
A junction must have been termed between the
command from Cape Girardeau and that from the
Pilot Knob, by which the direction of the battle
devolved upon Colonel Plummer. In a brief de
spatch, he says : I Met Jeff Thompson's forces
to-day, and whipped them. Lowe was killed. I
am well.''

and WL , rt , sepapt6a to he rapidly moving F.Oltal.
When the command had marched three-quarters of
a mile from town. their advance of cavalry had dis
covered a picket, whom they immediately shot. and.
on looking ahead they saw the entire force of the
enemy drawn up in line of !Mlle den ahead BUd
posted partly in an open field and partly in a woods.
They had a battery of four eighteen-pounder iron
cannon well planted in their advance.
Major Schofield's battery opened fire. At the
fourth round one of their cannon was silenced ; the
engagement then became general and lasted about
two hottrs.
Alter the first half hour_the enemy left the field
in great disorder and retreated to the woods, where
they were closely followed up by both cavalry and
infantry.
While they were in the field, the rebel colonel,
Lowe, was shot in the head and instantly killed.
After they were in the woods Major Gavitt was
shot with live bullets, while bravely leading his
battalion of cavalry in a furious charge. Ile was,
when shot, thirty paces in advance of his &Miami&

PILOT KNOB, Oct. 22.—The fight at 'Frederick
town lasted three hours. Our loss is six killed and
sixty wounded. Two surgeons came with a flag of
tvtle'e fok Col. Lowe', body. They acknowledged
a loss in killed and wounded of over two hundred.
It must have been larger. Many of their dead
were yet on the field. 1 counted twenty-five in
one stubble-field. The hogs had mutilated some of
them. The enemy's cannon were badly managed,
the shot havisg little effect apparently, owing to
the lack of powder.
Thompson got information of our movements by
capturing the bearer of despatches from Colonel
Plummer to Colonel Carlin.

There are no men in the country who deserve
more deeply, the thanks of the Union people of the
loyal States than those men in Tennessee Virginia,
North Carolina, and other States of the extreme
South, who stood like breakwaters for a time amid
the rage and storm of the Secession tempest which
beat upon them. But in graceful contrast to their
Witia of success amidst immense effort stands out

The Rebel Attack on Santa Rosa Island a

Mr. Packard. a gentleman who formerly resided

and arrived at New York in the late steamer.
makes the following interesting statement :
The attack on Wllson's eamp was avowed in
Pensacola to have been part of an intended attempt
to storm the fort. News had reached the rebels
that a fleet was on its way to the Gulf with 35,000
men. and it was deemed necessary to attack the
fort before its arrival. They hail arranged. there

at Pensacola that the expedition wits an utter and
a costly fallore. About fifty of the men
carried vans of camphene for the purpose of
firing the tents. They came upon Wilson's men am!
took them by surprise. Part of them fought very
well. and Major Creighton ordered them to - eliarge,
but his orders were countermanded, and the troops
fell back towards the fort in scene confusion. Capt.
Hill. meantime, hearing the firing, came out of the
fort with two or three companies of regulars ; re
pulsed the rebels ; drove them into their ! ? , ? nt r , , and
killed many them after they had cult

rebel otbcer was shot in the cabin of the steamer in
which he was crossing. when more than half a tulle
from shore. The regulars showed the most perfect
discipline and courage. and fired three shots to the
rebels' one, taking very accurate aim ; and bitting
nearly all the men in the head or breast. It was

was selling at 555 a barrel, and 30 cents a pound

I bad but two hundred men in camp at the time,

number. Eleven of my men are killed. several
wounded, and a number taken prisoners. My old

four hundred of the rebels and took forty prisoners...

Sufficiency of Pork in the South
The apprehensions of our people in regard to the
deficiency of bacon in the future are not well
founded, if we can rely upon the statistics of the
hog crop of the United States, to gt,ron in tlip
census report of itiso. According to that report.,
the fact appears, surprising, doubtless, to many of
our readers that of the thirty millions three hun
dred and fifty-four thousand hogs raised in all the
Statip and Territories of the United States, the
getlthellt Skitie.q. exclusive of Itentuoicy and Mis
souri. produced fifteen millions eight hundred and
four thousand three hundred and fifty-three, or
considerably more than one-half. The number of
hogs in Kentucky is reported at 2.091. l Oa, and in

Southern States raise up upwards. of twenty mil
