are known lo be loaf, and it is probable ail are. It is gratifying, however, to fay that none of the troop transports connected with the laud forces were lost, though the Wtnfield Scolt had to sacrifice her whole cargo, and the Romoke a portion of her cargo, to cava the lives of the regiments on board. The former will be amble to again put to eea.— The vessels connected with the naval portion of the fi?at hive also auffwed orach, and some have beau lost. A f ter a eireful reaoanoisattee of Port Roy-, a! Uiyit wis ascertained fait the robots bad three field works, of reumkable strength, strongly garrisoned, and covered by a fleet of three gun-boats, under Oapt. Tanlcrall, late of the U. S. Navy, besides strong land forces, which were concentrating from Charleston and Savannah. The troops cf the Rebels were afterwards ascertained to huve been command ed by Gen. Drayton. One of the forts, and probably the strongest, was situated OD Hil ton Head, and the other two on Phillipi*' Is land. It was deemed proper to first reduce the fort on Hiltou Lis id, though to do ibis a greater or less fire might have t> be met from the batteries at Buy Poiut at the same time. Our original desiga of a eo-operatiou of the laud forces iu this attack, bad to be set aside in consequence of the loss daring the voyage of s great portion of our means of disembark ment, together with the fact that the only point whore the troops should have been land vd, wis from five t) sir miles (measuring around the intervening shoal) from the an choring place of our transports, altogether too great a distance for successful debarkation with our limtted means. 1 was therefore agreed that the place shouid be reduced by the Naval force alcne. In con s' quecce of the shattered condition of the fleet, and the delay in the arrival of vessels that were mdispensibie for the attack, it had to be postponed until the 7th icst. It was a mere spectator of the combat, and it is not my province to render any report of this action, but 1 deem it an inperative duty to say that the firing and mancevering of our fl 'et against that of the Rebels and their for midable land batteries was a masterpiece of ao tiiity and professional skill that must have elicited the applause of tbe Rebels themselves as a tactical operation. I think that too much praise cannot be awarded lo the science and skill exhibited by the Fig Officer of tbe Naval Squadron and the officers connected with bis ships. I deem the performoce a masterly one, and ought to have teen seeu to be fully appreciated. After the wotks were reduced, I took poi session of them with the land forces. The beautifully constructed work on Hilton Head wag severely crippled and many of the guus dismounted. Much slaughter had evidently been made there, uiaDy bodies having been buried in the Fort, and some twenty or thirty wore found, some half a mile distant. Tbe islaud fur many miles was found to be strewed with arms and aecoutiemeots, and the bag gage of toe Rebels, which they threw away in ' their hasty retreat. We have also come into ! of about 40 pieces of cannon, most j of which are of the beaviest calibre and the j most approved model*, aud a largo quantity of j camp equipage. It is my duty to report the valuable services of Mr. Boutelle, assistant iu the Coast Survey, assisting ii.e wi'h hie accurate and extensive knowledge of ibis country. His services are invaluable to the army as well as to the navy, ar.d I earnestly recom mend that important notice be taken of this very able and scientific offber by the War Depirtuient. 1 am, very respectfully your obdt. servant, T.

It appears that they did uot faney being taken prisoners, an i the commander of the English vessel, Tieut, op posed giving them up, out the presence of a few United Btnes in nines, settled the busi ness It is not tboagbt that their arrest will cause auy difficulty with England, as she has always maintained the doctrine of the right and it is only pu'ting a little of her own medicine to her lips. TUB NEXT CON GUESS.— The President is engaged upou his message to Congress. With a view t> an economical prosecution and early termination of the war, it is understood in the best informed circles that an increase of the volunteer army will be called for. We are aow in a position to estimate the strength of the force to be met in the field, and to meet that force effectually we will require a million of men. The rebellion his hitherto been un der estimated; now the vail has been removed.; our work is presented before uv; it is not of small magnitude, but it is not beyond our control. We are more than equal to this du ty; our resources in men aud means are far mote than equal to all that will be required of us. The uext congress will receive from the President a message that will arouse the latent patriotism of our people. The next Congress will be one of the most patriots that have ever assembled since tne days of Washington. Its walls will resound with pure patriotic appeals for our bleeding country. All pusillanimity wilt be thrust aside, and a bold confidence will be everywhere manifested. The most search ing investiguious will be mode—must be made for the people will demand it—into offi cial incapacity, and w'aerevar a weak or rot ten plauk is found in the ship of State, it inuet be removed, and a strong one introduced to its place.

A flag of Luce from Norfolk has to day brought dowu one hundred aod fifty refugees. PARTICULARS OF THE ARREST. BALTISIORE, NOV. 16.—We have uo details of the arrest of Masou and Slideli. There are mauy outside rumors, but we believe them to be uicra guess work. Au officer of the siesuiorSau Jacinto, came up on the Old Point boat with despatches and hurried off to the Railroad Depot, where he took a special train tor Washington. The tact of their arrest is undoubted, and has created an immense sensation hare. Tue official despatch to the Navy Department wili give tue particulars. The uauia of the British vessel from which the prisoners were taken, cannot be ascertain ed. Pasiengert by the old poiut boat, statu that all the private papers, documents and in structions of Slideli aud Mason were seized. Tue tamiiies of the prisoners were allowed to proceed on their voyage. The captain of the British vessel is said to have delivered tneui up ou protest. fTbe despatch from Boston, given below, makes it appear that the steamer ou which the rebel miuiaters were taken, was the Fin-, gal. The same despatch destroys the proba* biltty of tho Norfolk Day Book'i story about the FtugaPs t.aving run the blockade at S* vancah, carrying iu a cargo of arms aud uiu uitions.j ANOTHER ACCOUNT. FORTRESS MONROE, NOV. 16th.—(Special to the New York Tribune.)— Mason and Sli deli wore aboard a British mail steamer. Commander Wiikesof tbe San Jaciuto, sent aboard aud demanded their surreudor. The reply was that there -was not force enough to tike them. Com. Wilkes then seut an additional force aud put the San Jacioto iu a convenient posi tion, whereupon Slideli and Miaou were sur rendered. The officers of the English steamer state that they took them aboard, not knowiog who they wero, their destination or business. Captain Wilkes is understood to have acted ou his own responsibility. Gen Wool has granted Slideli and Mason permission to send open letters to their friends. The San Jacinto leaves for New York di rect, this evening. [Correspondence of the JX . Y. Tribune.} THE libE OF MASOX A SI) SLi- DELL. FURTHER PARTICULARS OF TUE HI CAPTURE. WASHINGTON, NOV. 16.—The eity was made joyful to-day by a rumor which gained currency about noou, to the effect that ex- Senators Mason uud Slideli, the Envoys of Jeff. Davis to Euglaud and France, respeco lively, had been taken at sea, aud were now prisouers on board a United Stues vessel of war. An hour later, Captain Alfred Taylor, of the uavy, arrived by special traiu from Baltimore, bearing despatohes to the Govern ment, from Commodore Wilkes. Theso offi etai documents, uuuibering near a dozeu, giv full particulars of tbe capture, aud ate at present iu tbe bauds of the Government, to be fully examined before publication. The geueral facts couQected with the arrest are as follows: , Commodore Wilkes, while returning from tbe oosst of Africa io the Sau Jaoiuto, stopped at Havannab to take in coal, aud white there, learned that Messrs. Mason a-.d Slideli were to leave ou tbe 7th, ou the British Mail stenun er Trent, for England. Capt. Wilkes heard, about the same time, thai ih • Sumter was off Ltguajra, aud he determiued to capture bar if possible. White steaming through the Bahama Ohaa uel be encountered the Treat, and brought her tiring two shuts across her bow. Lieut. i'ahUx, oi the Sao Jaeiato, was liuuie iiate y seut ou board with a boat's crew aod im rines, and a.ked of the master ot the Trent to see his passenger list. This waa denied, aud Lieut, bairfax then stated that bis purposo was to take into custody Messrs. Slidetl and Mason, wboui ho knew to be on board, and those who accompanied them. Tae rebel en vuys were euuu recoguis sd, and tbey roluscd Lieut. Fairfax'# demand that tbey should pro ceed on board the SID Jacinto, and iaiinidi- a'cly went below lo ibeir state-rooms They were 10l lowed, and Lieut. Fairfax told tbeiu 'bat if tbey refused to go peaceably he should bts compelled to use force. They still refused, when the marines ateppiug forward snd taking them by the shoulder, they made no further opposition; Messrs Eustis and MeFarland, the Secretaries of tbo rebel envoys, were also arrested:— Slideli and Eustis Ltd their families ou board the Trent, aud tbo prospect of a separation occasioned un affecting scene. Commander VV ilkes subsequently offered to allow their families to accompany tbeui ; but the ladies refused, preferiing the voyage to England and a protracted separation troui their husbands, rather thau the risk of an iuiprisoumeut in the North. Slidsll's family consisted of his wife, four cbildreu and a servant. The bsggage of the prisoners was transferred to the ban Ja cinto, and it is said that it contains important documents, and among them their instructions from Jefi. Davis's Government. Any mail matter which had been iutrustcd to them bad probably been transferred to the Eoglish mail. No opposition was offered by tho ( fibers of the Treut to the arrest, other than a verbal protest, though one man who had charge of | the mails ou board iuiiulged in some gasco nade aboht tho outrage committed, aud was loud in his assertions that tho blockade would be raised withiu a mouth after the news reach ed England. After their transfer to the San Jacinto, the i prisoners uoited iu drawing up a statement of the facts connected with their arrest, which they addressed to Commodore Wilkes, and aooompaniod it by a request that it be forward ed to the United States Government. It does not materially differ from the narration 1 have given above. The signatures attached to the document were evidently written while under a foaltbg of trepidation, and they approximate to the irregularity of that of Stephen Hopkins*, of 1776. rflidell and Mason are well knowu. Eustis was formerly a member of Congress from Lou isiana. Ha married a'daughter of Mr. Cor coran, the Washington banker, who, it is sail, has betrayed much uneasiness tOday in refer ence to the arrest. MeFarland is a son or uephew of Wen. MeFarland, a bank Presideut iu Riohcuoud, a strong Uuiou man, aud one of tue last to succumb to the pressure of the re bellion. He is a baehelor. Oo the San Jacinto the prisoners were trea ted with marked kindness by Commodore Wilkes and his offijers. Tbey - conversed freely upon various subjects, but politics were not ailuded to. When they arrive io New York,.they will be transferred to Fort Warren. Oa reaching Hampton Koada, Captaiu Tav lor of the United States sloop of war Sarato ga was lauded at Fortress Monroe to convey despatches to the Government. Of course everybody is rejoiced that the arch rebels are in custody, hut the c reumstan ees connected witn their arrest have created some apprehensions of consequences. Tho right of search has always beeu asserted by Great Britain, and bas been denied by the United dates. England aud Franco have not recognized the rebel Stales as a nation, but have recogotsid iheui as belligerents, aud the point is now presented of an insurgent claiming to bo a diplomatic envoy from a State not yet recognized, arrested while traveling, on a vessel of the nattou to whom he is ac credited, aud taken from it by a vessel of the nation against which he is in rebellion, and which eiiil.olaiojs him as its subject. It seems to be conceded that Commodore Wilkes acted iu the matter without instructions, and what ever instructions mty have been given to tbo Atlautia fleet to effect their capture io the Theodora, it was hardly contemplated that they should be taken iu a British vessel. lu view of the intricate questiou of interna tional law likely to bo taised, there is a east ing ab *ut lor precedents, and in the streets eveu Uroiiiij, HufFeudorf, Vattel, ami Wheat:, on are learnedly appealed to for justification. I am iuforuied that the Becessiou'sts of Balti more eailed upon the British Consul to day, and asked what Great Britain would do ia the nutter, and he expressed the opinion that the act did not interfere with any law of nations; and that, iu view of all the facts, probably no uotice would be takeu of it. Members of the Cabiuot think that the case presents an oppor tunity to test the point whether the British Government will accept its own doctrines when the American Bull goads tue British Ox, aud the general feeling seems to be, that the most that will be required will bo, that the Uuued States Government apologize tor the act, which it will do and hold on to the prisoners. Copt. Taylor reports that when the San Jacinto stopped at Cianfuegos the escape of Siidell and Mason was ascertained. Proceed ing thence to llavuua, it was understood they had takeu passage on the 7tb iust.,on the British mail steamship Trent, plying between Vera Cruz, byway of Havana, and St. Thorn* as aud {Southampton. While tue Bin Jaein to was in the narrowest part of the Bahama Cnauue , auout 2i miles to the westward she met the paoket, and, as usual in such cases, bred a shot across her bows aud brought her to. Two boats wcie sent to her, under the command of Lieuteuaut Fairfax, who board ing the packet, arrested Mason and Siidell, wno were personally knowu to him. They at lirst objected to being removed without the employment of force for that purpose. How ever, they were soou after removed without furtner trouble, and conveyed to the San Ja. eiuto. Their respective Secretaries, Eustis aud MoFarland, were also brought on board, aud are uow on their way to New York. The packet had uo other save her owe flag The remainder of the passengers, including the ladies connected with the Siidell and Ma sou party, were not molested, aud werotheio foie left tree to pursue their journey. The official despatches are voluminous, and include several aoeuuuts of tue capture, to getuer with tue protest of Mason aud Siidell against being takeu from a British ship. It is said that t.ie State Drtpai tmaut received several days ugo information from the United States Consul at Havana that .-iasou and Sii dell aud tueir Secretaries were tuere, and that ae was watching an opportuuity and devising means to hive thorn arrested. ThoStn Ja cinto was returning from the Afrioau station, aud had baeu ordered to cruise lor the priva teer Soulier. Happening to be in the neigh borhood of Havana at the nick of timi, our Coosal conveyed to bar oom.ntuier the infor mation of the s 'Hiv >"~ | the British Btesmer Trent, but issued no orders for their arrest. Captain Wilkes, upon his own responsibility, overhauled them within 24 hours' sail from port, and arrested them. SOUTHERN' NEWS, THE RISING L\ EASTERN TENNES SEE.

It was arranged between the Confederate cavalry and Confederate citizens to massacre our troops in oold blood.
