Our Flag Forever
The News.---Great Victories.
'The news we give to-day will chew'
the hearts of all true patriots. A few
more such victories' and all doubt of a
complete route of rebels, North and
South, will be forever removed. We
pray that the good work may go on
until the good old stars and . stripes
,shall wave in triumph over every foot
of ground now occupied by the Rebels.
Our Army.
It has frequently been asserted that
our army is composed of men—intel
ligent men, who are fit for Presidents
and Senators, and all other offices of
high distinction in our Government.
We go farther ; . and assert that our
army is made up of the most intelli
gent men, because those who hastened
to the conflict were men who kept
themselves posted on the affairs of the
day, and when a call was made for
them, they did not have to stop and
ask what they were wanted to fight
for; therefore, we repeat, our army * is
made up of the better class of men.—
We have been asked frequently, since
the war broke out, "What was the
cause of it? what are they going to
fight for," &e., by men who were really
in earnest abOut the matter, and were
ignorant of the cause which plunged
us into this bloody war, and there are,
me doubt, hundreds at this day, who
.cannot tell what this war is about.—
, Our army is not made of such stuff,
for they must stop to inquire all about
'it, or else do not care what becomes of
them, or on which side they fight.—
We could not wait on such men, for
we want them at once; besides, they
would make a dangerous lot of sol
diers, for they know not what they are
fighting for, and In a fit of excitement
they might change their minds, and
-come to the conclusion that they were
-on the wrong side. On the other hand s
if'you hale men such as our ponder
ous army is composed of, who know
just as well as the President and his
-Cabinet, what they are fighting for,
there is no danger. They are per
fectly.safe, and can be relied 'on in
time of need. The more illiterate
-class is at home yet. They are not
-ready; they want to see into the case
;before they 'go to destroy the property
for which they have paid so great a
-.tax. Another thing, "them fellows
down there in South Caroliny might
shoot a body," sze. In the face of all
this the reader will readily perceive of
what our army, in the main, is com
posed. No other nation on the face of
,the earth can collect the same army of
intelligent men together in treble the
time. We are a mighty and an intel
ligent nation, and we will show to tho
world that wo are such, $n the present
unjust, unholy, awl stn.pendous rebel
lion.
Awake 1 Arouse ! Glory ! Glory 1
Our heart is too full for utterance.
The Expedition has been successful,
and is how in South Carolina, besides,
t our soldiers have won two glorious
-victories. Read the accounts given in
our news columns. That is "glory
.ouolgh for one day." Would not a
torch-light procession, bond-fires, and
'patriotic speeches be in place just now?
Cannot wcget up some suitable demon

Our Army Correspondence.
CAmr GnlmN, Xov. 7, 1861
Ma. Tiorron:—We have had the
pleasure of seeing some of your papers
in our camp, and we give you duo no
tice hereby, while we
,are dulisergsi
ble of the dignity, power, and privi
leges of the press, we are fully resolved
that you shall be compelled to live,in
ignorance of our brilliantaahievements
away down in Di;tio, for all the 'future,
unless you gladden our eyes with the
sight of something that belongs in old
Himtingdon:
We have seen wetter days than the
ono we are spending, but a more obilly
and disagreeable one, if we ever ex•
perienced it, we have forgotten.. 'Per
haps you would like to know what we
are doing. Well, just. now, are
doing nothing except eating, smoking
and sleeping—things we never neglect
attending to, unless it be fbr want of
raw material. - . Most of our time is
spent in drill When the 'Weather'per
mits. We have had a good portion of
cloudy and wet weather. Our camp
is rather low, and so flat that the wa
ter did not know Which way to run,
until we made ditches for it. Indeed
it came into the tents without knock
ing or being invited, to get out of the
rain, I reckon. The 49th, after two
months hard service, is in very good
health. We have fewer men in the
hospital than any other regimb i nt in
the Brigade. We have none danger
ously ill, considering the hardships we
have undergone, and the youthfulness
of the Regiment. We have been re
markably healthy. We have been
very busy since we crossed the Poto
mac. It rained on us all the afternoon
we marched from. Washington across
the Chain Bridge and into our first
bivouac,. for' we' did not go Into camp
the first night, from the filet that our
baggage did not conic up. We all
faired in like manner—built fives and
stood around them, and lay,down with
our feet to them, and growled at our
luck, and laughed at our misery until
daylight. Our fires Were large, and
soon a circle was formed around them
of weary soldiers, dreaming of hothe,
and, perhaps, the girls they left behind
them. We have moved our camp
twice, and on both occasions have had
to wait for our baggage to come up,
not having a sufficient number of teams
to transport it. We arc still in the
advance of the army, and from what
I can understand, are' about six miles
from - Vienna, the enemy still holding
that place. Our regiment has been
highly complimented by our Brigadier
General (Hancock), for its rapid im
provement in drill and orderly conduct
of our men, as well as cleanliness of
camp. We had the extreme pleasure
of seeing the youthfucCommander-in.
Chief of the Army, Gen. McClellan, a
short time ago. He took off big hat
to our graceful present career. He is a
decidedly fine looking fellow, and rides
a good horse. I don't know whether
he knows how " to keep a bold," or
not, but I believe he can command an
army. We arc all in good spirits now,
and busy keeping dry—no trouble in
keeping cool. Our Captain (Jas. D.
Campbell), although not a very large
man in statue, is, I may assert without
flattery, among the best in the regi
ment. The company could not be pre
railed upon to part with him by any
means, and should an opportunity of
fer itself; there is no doubt in my mind,
but that ho will do faithful service in
behalf of the cause in which we are
engaged. If you will bear with me, I
will just add that ere long you may
hear of our making an advance upon
Fairfax,,as movements indicate some
thing of that nature. Tow please do
not forget to send us the Globe, and
oblige your truly, FRANK.
FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11, '6l ;
(Correspondence of Gm Press.]
The Prospect for an Engagement with
the Rebels
The opinion that I advanced ten
days ago in this correspondence, that
we will have no general battle in the
vicinity of Washington this winter, is
becoming - general in the army and
throughout the District. I have the
fullest confidence in the experience,
military knowledge, and good judg
ment of the Commander-in-Chief of
the Army, and I believe that his de
cisions will be for the best, what ever
they may be. A similar confidence is
conceded to him by our citizens gener
ally.

Army Rations
Mr. Snow, assistant in the Quarter

worth of surplus rations, saved by the
army teamsters here, from their regu
lor rations for the last two months.
The proceeds are appropriated for the
sick of that department. The soldiers
have all a surplus of rations, which are
sold by some regiments, and the funds
appropriated to pity the cost of regi
mental music, and by others sold or
exchanged for luxuries, or .l,i,ttle arti

The confirmation of the news from
the fleet has caused it joyous feeling

from the walls of the Legislative flails,

The" effects of the news amongst the
troops on the other side of the Poto
mac has been electrical, They , had
become so tired of the dull routine of
camp life that they scarcely knew how
to eontain themselves this morning
when the glorious news from the fleet
spread itself from, encampment to en ,

thusiasm' find patriotism took place.
In Con. Blonker's division the sponta

The Capture of the Pirate Sumpter
Nov. I2.—A family
Letter received here, dated, on the 25th
of October, on board the United States
frigate Santee, off Galveston, confirms
the report of the capture of the Pirate
Sumpter. The writer says she was
caught in her own trap.
It seems that she mistook one of the
U. S. gunboats for a merchant vessel
and started in pursuit. When the gun
boat had drawn hero:l'lohr enough she
turned and chased her ashore.
Her officers and crew are prisoners
on board the U.S. steam frigate Niag
ara:
From officers who have arrived here,
it is ascertained that a reconnoissance
in fore() of 10,000 troops, was made at
an early hour this morning In a South
ern direction from Alexandria.
Two thousand rebels arrived near
Aeotink Creek Yesterday, from the
main body of their army.
THE GREAT SUCCESS IN SOUTH
CAROLINA,
REJOICING IN WASHINGTON,
[Special deal etch to the Bullet in.]
WAsinwroiv, Nov. 13.—There is
universal joy hero to-clay, over the
glorious news from South Carolina,
ThO town is aflame with excitement
and exultation.
Captain Steelman, with the official
despatches for the Nuvy Department,
is expected about. noon. The stories
about the march ! of our troops on
Charleston aro known • to. be false, as
they had orders to the contrary. The
report of the capture of the Sumpter,
telegraphed from hero yesterday, is
also believed to be untrue.
Hon. Joseph Holt, of Kentucky, who
is here, says that the victory at Pike
ton, in his State, is even of more im
portance than the Capture of Beaufort.
It is stated hero that a despatch has
been received, giving the number of
rebels taken prisoners at the battle of
Piketon, Ky., us two thousand, instead
of one thousand, as first reported.—
Gen. Wm. Nelson, who commanded
the Federal forces, is a Lieutenant in
the Navy, a Kentuckian, who was as
signed to special duty in his native
State, when the war broke out, as an
acting Brigadier General.
WASHINGTON, 1 P. 31.—The official
despatches from Beaufort have just
been received by the Government.—
They are understood to confirm fully
the reports of the press correspondent.
The success of the expedition is to
be formally announced to the army of
the Potomac, in a Special Order, which
will be read to each regiment this of
at five o'clock. It will increase
the enthusiasm of the soldiers, and
make them more eager than ever to
be led forward by General McClellan.

PROM MARYLAND
Return dl: Trtiops from Hatteras Inlet.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 11..--:Carit. Dowell,
of the Twentieth Indiana Regiment,
which returned to Fortress aormo
from flatteras, says it was found to be
almost impossible to remain longer on
that narrow neck of land, on account
of the loss of the camp equipage and
stores of the regiment, by the frequent
disasters which have attended it. Al
though the men have suffered the most
severe privations, the number on the
sick list is very small, and all are now
comfortably quartered near Fortress
Monroe.
Col. Hawkins' New York regiment
will also return by the next steamer.
The men of the latter regiment have
suffered more severely in health than
the Indianians—over of* hundred
being on the sick list.
Capt. Dowell, of the Twentieth In
diana, gives the following statement in
reference to the reception of the news
from the fleet ut Hatteras Inlet: On
the day previous to the departure of
the steamer Spaulding, a man was ob
served paddling across in a small canoe
from the mainland to the peninsula,
and, as soon as ho reaciked the 4,1„0re,
proceeded to the quarters of Ow 200
Indiana regiment. lie stated that the
people of North Carolina had received
tidings of the great naval expedition,
and that it had succeeded in effecting
a law,4ug at Port Royal and Beaufort.
At the first named place they had
experienced no difficulty in lawßng, as
there was but a small settlement on
the coast. But at Beaufort heavy
battle took place, which lasted for near
ly two days. The man stated that he
was not as deserter from the rebel ar
my, for he had refused to join it, being
a Union man at heart and in principle.
He seemed to be very 4ffefligent, and
his only object in making his yis,it was
to communicate with the b'ederal troops
in relation to the success of the naval
expedition. He remained on the place
when the steamer Spaulding departed.

VIRGINIAN AGAINST ;VIRGINIAN
k CiscINNATI, Nov. 12.—The defeat of
the Union forces at Guyandotte, on
Sunday night, was accomplished by
trickery on the part of the inhabitants.
it seems that .a force of rebel caval
ry, variously estimated at from 500 to
1,000, had concentrated in the country
back of the town, and it was proposed,
with the assistance of the rebel inhab
itants of Guyandotte, to annibii,late the'
Federal forces in that town. The

the Virginia Regiment, and a few of

ranged between the ! rebel :ca.F . alry and
rebel eitimens to massacre our troops
in cold blood,.
Accordingly, Elie rebel citizens be
,came very .aoitrteous to our troops, and,
on last Sunday evening, invited ;them
to their houses on various pretexts.
The inwitatien yas accepted. by all
who were off duty, and, they
were being entertained, at about 81
o'clock at
. night, ,t,he rebel cavalry
dashed into the town. Signals were
displayed from every house where the
loyal Virginians were unsuspiciously
enjoying themselves, and into these
the rebels rushed, murdering the un
armed soldiers in cold blood. The rebel
citizens, men and women, rushed to
arms, and aided the cavalry in the
slaughter..
The' Federal troops who were in
camp prepared as soon as possible Pr
their &puce, b,itt, were overpowered,.
and lad to break linos and retreat.—
Very few of our men were killed in
the engagement with the cavalry,
nearly all the killed being murdered
in the houses.
When Col. Zeigler arrived and as
certained the partieulars'of this fiend

to be taken off.
All the letters in the Beaufort Post
Office were seized.
Aftcr the capture of the Forts the

to 4,000 men under Gel?. Drayton, of
South Carolina.
Our victory is .complete, the enemy
