NOTICE.
We have not the time nor the incli
nation, to dun personally, a large num
ber of persons who have unsettled ac
counts upon our books of several years
standing. We shall, therefore, from
day to day, without respect to persons,
place into the hands of a Justice for
collection, all accounts of over two
years standing. All those who wish
;to save expense, will do well to give
sis a call immediately.
4§. §
WE HAVE been pressed with job
work for a few days at our usual fair
prices, which has prevented us giving
as much attention to this number of
the Globe, as it should have had. Still,
'we are "up to time" with all the hn
;portant news of the day—the same
that the Journal & American may pos
sibly give its readers next week.
THE NEWS.
—The fears expressed in regard to
the action of the Emperor Napoleon,
on the 27th ult., when the sessions of '
the French Chambers were opened,
have not been realized. He contented
himself with expressing a regret that
French commerce was deranged by
the existing difficulties in this country,
and announcing that, so long as a
rigid blockade was maintained by our
navy, it was the duty of foreign na
!lions to abstain from any violation of
it. Vague rumors still reach us from
England of his intention to forcibly
break our blockade, but it is so coin
mon for English journals to attribute
sinister designs to Louis Napoleon, in
reference to every important move
ment, that but little reliance can be
placed in such assertions. The sue
,cesses which have lately been achieved
our army will prove a more effec
tual chock to hostile action on the
part of European Governments than
- any other influence we could exert.—
When the news reaches the Old World
of our triumph at Mill Springs, the
.capture of Fort Henry, the success of
•Goueral Burnside, notwithstanding the
numerous obstacles he was unexpect
edly obliged to encounter, and of the
great preparations we have made for
hemming in the enemy upon all sides,
acre will, we hope, be little disposition
to sustain the infamous conspiracy
which is now gasping in the last stages
of a rapid decline.
—lt is currently reported in the
West that the different columns of
Gen. Halleck and Gen. Buell will short
ly be strengthened by the addition of
fifty thousand soldiers drawn from the
army of the Potomac. It is known
that Hon. Thomas A. Scott, Assistant
Secretary of War, has been travelling
through the West for some time past,
.making arrangements for carrying out
%some such object as the above, and it
is said that the whole line of railroad,
with all its rolling stock : between
Pittsburg and Cincinnati, has been
hired for six consecutive days for Gov
ernment use. A large mass of rebel
soldiers have undoubtedly been remo
ved from Manassas, to strengthen the
Confederate generals in the West, so
that they can overpower, by superior
-numbers, the armies of Generals Hal
leek and Buell. But the military au
thorities at Washington will, no doubt,
counteract the rebel schemes, by speed
ily reinforcing our generals in the
threatened quarter, and thereby pre
vent them from being overpowered by
-a superior force.
Edward L. Pierce, the Government
agent charged with the care of the
contrabands at Port Royal, states that
there are at present 8,000 negroes in
the territory of South Carolina now
:occupied by the Federal fortes. There
Are six hundred at Port Royal, five
imudred at Beaufort, and the balance
are either scattered among the differ
ent camps, or are living on the planta
tions, picking cotton for the Govern
ment agents, or doing the best they
,can to obtain support. Two hundred
out of the six hundred at Port Royal
are women and children. Mist of these
" contrabands" are very destitute, and
sadly in want of clothing and other
necessaries of life.
—There are now at Leavenworth,
Kansas, some fifteen thousand troops,
with a large supply of cavalry and a
fair proportion of artillery. The en
tire force that will accompany General
Hunter in his expedition will consist
1,4 about thirty-four thousand troops,
and . as they will march to the west of
Missouri, through the Cherokee Na
tion, and enter Arkansas beloW Van
Buren, it is supposed that they will
have no difficulty in obtaining subsis
tence. They expect to march to the
Cherokee Nation in ten days after
leaving Leavenworth.
—Additional intelligence of an im
portant character from our forces on
the Tennessee river is published in an
other column. Our gunboats have as
cended the Tennessee river as far as
Florence, Alabama, and have succeed
ed in capturing or destroying all the
rebel boats, transports, and camps they
saw on their expedition. Gen. Grant
Ihas marched against Fort Donelson,
and at the latest accounts he had sar
i rounded it with seven batteries of ar
tillery. If the rebels do not surren
der a great battle will probably take
place. It is reported that the redoubt
able Geh. Pillow is in command at the
fort, and that he has some well-trained
artillerists under him.
—A Washington correspondent of
The Press, of the 12th, gives the fol
lowing items of the operations of the
Quartermaster's Department : The
operations of the Quartermaster's De
partment as to forage may be judged
from the fact that Captain Dana, As
sistant Quartermaster, has in his em
ployment on this side of the Potomac
1,314 teams, and issues daily 200 tons
of hay and 6,000 bushels of grain—
supplying in this distribution the divi
sions of Gens. Smith and McCall. On
this side of the Potomac 4,000 persons
arc engaged in this work at a monthly
aggregate of salaries of about $85,000.
On the south side of the Potomac, un
der Quartermaster Ingalls, there are
issued daily 100 tons of hay and 6,800
bushels of grain, employing 600 men.
The Quartermaster's Department at
Alexandria, under the supervision of
Lieutenant - Ferguson, has now on hand
nearly 1,000,000 bushels of grain, and
all contracts for further delivery at
that point have been annulled in con
sequence. The forage and subsistence
for the army brought from Baltimore
are now conveyed direct from the
Washington station to the camps in
Virginia, by railroad over the Long
Bridge. This continuous line was
opened yesterday, and prevents the
delays heretofore experienced.
—The following items of news are
taken from Southern papers received
at Baltimore yesterday :—" The bill to
raise troops to meet the requisition on
Virginia by the President of the Con
federate States passed both branches
of the general assembly on Monday, in
secret session. It provides that all
the companies now in the field shall
be filled up to the number of one bun.
dred men. That the governor shall
call for volunteers, and if the requisite
number be not thus enlisted, the defi
ciency is to be made up by draft from
the enrolled militia. The injunction
of secresy has been removed from a
bill passed by Congress, appropriating
$200,000 for the benefit of the State of
Kentucky. The War Department has
issued an order for the securement of
all the corn in the hands of distillers
or others to be used for purposes of
distillation. This step is taken, not
only on account Of the pernicious ef
fects of the unlimited manufacture of
whiskey, but by the exhorbitant prices
the government is thereby obliged to
pay for the article so indispensable for
the subsistence of the army."
—A dispatch dated Cincinnati, Feb.
12th, says: Our army in central Ken
tucky is in motion. Gen. Nelson's di
vision is marching along the Glasgow
turnpike, Gen. Mitchell's division cros
sed Green river on Monday, taking the
advance of the main column to Bowl
ing Green.
—A dispatch dated Leavenworth,
Feb. 11, says :—The greatest activity
prevails at Fort Leavenworth in pre
paration for the expedition to start
from here under Gen. Hunter. Troops
and supplies being concentrated in the
southern portion of the State, and in
dications appear favorable for an early
advance.
Tho General himself is working earn
estly and unceasingly in perfecting the
details of the expedition, and every de
partment is pushed to its utmost ca
pacity.
Seven regiments of cavalry, four
regiments of infantry and three full
batteries of artillery, with parrot and
wiard guns, are now en route from the
east and aro daily expected to join the
expedition, which will be one of the
most formidable yet organized during
the war.
-WASIII\OTOY, Feb. 12.—Tho news
of the brilliant success of the Federal
arms has created the greatest enthusi
asm. Dispatches concerning them
were read in both houses of Congress
to-day, causing great rejoicing.
The President has signed the bill
authorizing the construction of twenty
iron-clad gunboats.
It has been ascertained that there is
a clear majority of Senators in favor
of the legal tender clause on the Treas

GEN. PILLOW IN COMMAND
Sr. Louis, —A special des
patch from Cairo to the Democrat says
that Commodore Foote has just re
ceived despatches from Capt. Phelps,
of the gunboat Conestoga, announcing
the return of the gunboat expedition
up the Tennessee river, after capturing
a new rebel gunboat and destroying
all the other rebel boats on the river,
as far up as Florence, Alabama.
The Republican's Fort Henry des
patch says that a portion of the army
encamped near the river has been mo
ved two miles farther back, with all
their batteries, from which point the
roads are good, and a speedy forward
movement can be made when desired.
Two more regiments arrived to-day
and two steamers laden with troops
are just coming in sight:
The enemy at Fort Donelson are
being rapidly reinforced, and the pris
oners say they are confident that they
can hold their position. The trees are
being felled two miles around the fort,
by a gang of negroes.
Gen. Pillow is in command there,
with two thousand men, embracing
seine of the best artillerists from Co•
lambus. There are two small forts,
and three camps, several hundrd yards
from the main fortification, and present
appearances indicate that the coming
battle will be much more desperate
than that at Fort Henry.
CAIRO (Ill), Feb. 11.—The gunboats
which were sent up the Tennessee lir

FORTRESS MosuoE, Feb. 11.—By the
flag of truce to-day we have news of
the complete success of Gen. Burnside
at Roanoke Island.
The Island was taken possession of
and Commodore Lynch's fleet com
pletely destroyed.
Elizabeth City was attacked on Sun
day and evacuated by the inhabitants.
It was previously burned, whether
by our shells or by the inhabitants is
not certain.
The first news of the defeat arrived
at Norfolk on Sunday afternoon, and
caused great excitement. The previous
news was very satisfactory, stating that
the Yankees had been allowed to ad
vance for the purpose of drawing them
into a trap.
The rebel force on the island is sup
posed to have been only a little over
3,000 efficient fighting men.
Gen. Wise was ill at Nag's Head,
and was not present during the en
gagement.
- When the situation became danger
ous, he was removed to Norfolk.
All the gunboats but one were taken;
that escaped up the creek, and was
probably also destroyed.
One report at Norfolk says only
seventy and another only twenty-five
escaped from Roanoke Island.
Gen. Huger telegraphed to Rich
mond that only fifty escaped on the
There appears to he no bright side
to the story for the rebels.
The Richmond Examiner of this
morning says, in a leading editorial :
" The loss of an entire army on Roa
noke Island is certainly the most pain
ful event of the war. The intelligence
by telegraph yesterday is fully con
firmed-2,500 brave troops on the island
in the sea were exposed to all the force
of the Burnside fleet. They resisted
with courage, but when 'fifteen thou
sand were landed against them, their
retreat beimg cut oil' by the surround
ing element, they were forced to sur
render. This is a repetition of Hat
teras on a larger scale. The following
are dispatches on the subject in Rich
mond - papers of this morning.
NORFOLK, Feb. 10.—The latest news
states that Capt. 0. Jennings Wise,
son of Gov. Wise, was shot through
the hip and disabled, though his wound
was not mortal.
Major Lawson and Lieut. Miller itirore
mortally wounded. About 300 Con
federates were killed. Our wounded
numbers over one thousand. The num
ber of Yankees wounded is about the
same.
Midshipman Carnem had his arm
shot off. The other easualities are un
reported.
A late arrival this morning, says Eliz 7
abeth City had been shelled and burn
ed by the Yankees, and that the enemy
was pushing on through to Edenton.

NORFOLK, Feb. 10 —A rumor has
prevailed that Commodore Lynch's
fleet of gunboats had been captured.
It is not regarded as true, but it is be
lieved that all were burned by the con
federates to prevent theircapture, with
the exception of one, which was en
deavoring to make its escape.
The fleet went to Elizabeth City
from Roanoke island, and was proba
bly burnt at the former point.
=II
Npuromi, Feb. 10.—[received in
Richmond at midnight.] A courier ar
rived here this afternoon,at four o'clock,
and brought the intelligence that Eliz
abeth city was burned this morning by
the inhabitants. During the confla
gration the Federals landed a large
force. All our gunboats , excepting
one, were captured by the enemy.
Gen. Wise has not yet arrived at
Norfolk
The .following is the very latest,
which we copy from to-day's Day
Book.
A courier arrived here yesterday af
ternoon about 3 o'clock, from which
we gather the following information
The enemy advanced in full force
upon Elizabeth city Yesterday at about
seven o'clock and began an attack upon
that place. The citizens finding resist
ance vain, evacuated the place, but be
fore doing so set fire to the town, and
when our informant left it was still in
flames.
We have ahio to record the capture,
by the enemy, of all our little fleet ex
cept the Fanny or Forest—our inform
ant is not certain—which thus eluded
the enemy and made up the Pasqua
tank river. It was pursued, however,
and fears are entertained that site, too,
was captured.
It is Enid that before our boats sur
rendered, they were abandoned, and
their crews succeeded in making their
escape. If so we are at a loss to con
jecture why they were not fired before
abandoned.
The disaster to our little fleet is at
tributed to the fact that it, having ex
hausted its supplies of coal mid muni
tion, proceeded to Elizabeth city for
the purpose of obtaining a supply.—
Every effort was made to obtain coal,
and without success, and it returned
to the Island to lend any assistance
whatever to the forces.
All the details as published with
reference to the capture of Roanoke
Island are confirmed by the courier.
It represents our loss three hundred
killed and wounded and that of the
enemy not less than ono thousand
killed.
Great havoc was made amongst
them while coming up the road lead
ing to the fort.
Our forces brought to bear upon
them two thirty-two pounders, and at
every firo their ranks were terribly
thinned. The places of the fallen.
however, were quickly filled.
Pork point battery was manned by
the Richmond Blues, and most nobly
did they defend it during the conflict.
They were attacked by a whole regi
ment of Zouttves, and, though com
pletely overpowered, they stood their
ground bravely, nor did they yield one
foot until all, save seven, fell bleeding
to the ground. There is good reason
to believe that, had Col. Ilenningson,
with his artillery, been on the island,
they should not have been forced to
surrender it. A lack of field pieces
was most sadly felt, and, had they been
at hand the enemy, perhaps, would
never have been able to have landed
their forces. llonningson had orders,
we understand, to report at Roanoke
Island, but by some misunderstanding
he mistook Elizabeth city for the place
of destination.
In addition to the above, there are
many rumors that we might give, but
as they are nothing more than rumors,
we prefer withholding them.
Among them is one, however, wor
thy of notice, that Gen. Wise had been
shot while in an ambulance on the way.
The statement so far as we have
been able to learn is not correct, and
can only account for it by supposing
that the name of General Wise is eon
fbunded with that of his son who was
reported among the killed.
It is reported that one regiment from
Massachusetts was badly cut up, but
it is impossible to ascertain which of
the five that were attached to the ex
pedition. The news received to-day
occasions great excitement at old Point.
A. steamer with official dispatches from
Gen. Burnside is hourly expected.
The' prisoners captured, numbering
at least two thousand, will be here in a
few days.
All the Southern papers received are
unanimous in admitting a complete
victory to our troops and that the loss
of the island is a very serious one.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 12.—Special
patches to the Gazette and Commercial
dated Fort Henry the 10th inst., give
the following_ accounts of the expedi
tion up the Tennessee river.
After the capture of Fort Henry,
the gunboats Lexington, Conestoga,
and Tyler gave chase to the rebel
steamer Dunbar. Reaching the Mem
phis and Louisville railroad bridge our
troops took a quantity of stores, Ste.,
and passed on in chase of the Dunbar,
but did not overtake her. It is sup
posed that she escaped by running
some creek during the night.
The gunboats went to Florence, Al
abama, at the head of navigation, and
a distance of 250 miles from Paducah.
Everywhere along the river they
were received with a hearty welcome
from numerous Union families. In
southern Tennessee and north Ala
bama and at towns along the river the
old flag was looked upon as a redeemer
and hailed with shouts of joy.
Capt. Gwin of the gunboat Tyler re
cruited 30 men for service on the gun
boats, and says he can get enough to
man the whole fleet.
The people of Florence were so de
lighted at finding the stars and stripes
once more their protection, that they
were prepared to give a ball to the of
ficers of the gunboats, but the latter
could not remain to accept their cour
tesies. However, our boats landed,
and when the people became assured
that we did not come to destroy but
to save, they seemed to have no means
too extravagant to express their de
light and joy.
Our boats captured four steamers
including an unfinished gunboat, and
burned seven others.

GREEN SPRING RUN, Va. ,
February, 8,1862.
31Essus. EDITORS :—Knowing it is al
ways satisfactory to our friends at
home, to hear occasionally from the
110th, 1 seat myself to write a few
lines for the 'Globe.
After witnessing the defeat of the
rebel General Xackson at Hancock, we
wound our way through hill anti dale
until at last our feet pressed the sacred
soil of old Virginia. We left Cumber
land with the expectation of trying the
courage of the rebellious sons of the
Old Dominion and hope will not be
disappointed. Our regiment is now
lying at the southern branch of the
Potomac. Our company (Capt. Ben•
nor's) is on picket at a place known
as Green Spring Run, a watering sta
tion on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad;
we guard a portion of the road and
also the telegraph office; our pickets
extend about four miles on the Pike
leading to Romney. Captain Benner
sends out scouting parties every day;
the boys as yet have not captured any
rebels, but have been very successful
in pressing turkeys, chickens, geese,
&e., into the service. We expect to
mingle in the red tide of battle before
long. All the troops aro being moved
from Patterson Creek and Camp Kel
ley; the movement indicates an ad
vance on Winchester as the troops are
all going cast. Our friends may be
assured that the 110th are in for some
tall fighting and our company intends
doing its full share. Capt. Benner is
the man that will lead us through; he
is at present commander of this post.
The only village in this vicinity is on
the Mau-land side of the Potomac, op
posite this place, and all who wish to
cross the river have to apply to the
Captain for a pass. A dispatch was
received here yesterday that the Reb
els have evacuated Winchester; I can
not believe it as Winchester is said to
be a strongly fortified place. How
long our regiment will remain in . this
vicinity, and where we will go when
wo leave, is more than I am at present
able to inform you. The 84th Penna.
Regiment (Col. Murray) passed here
yesterday. The 84th is composed of
fighting boys and will no doubt, give
the rebels " jessie." -
I close hoping that the rebellion will
be crushed ere the close of another six
months and that every man and woman,
who has aided in a,ny - way the Rebels
in their work of treason and rebellion
may be destroyed and that without
remedy. Yours, &c., .

The Arnold of the War,
The published statement of the char
ges made against Brigadier Gendral
Charles P. Stone makes his case as se
rious as it can possibly be. • The de•
liberation with which the government
has acted, and the extreme caution
practised in his arrest, prove JIM. the
evidence is strong against him, and
that the case is regarded by those
highest in authority as one of the most
momentous character.
General Stone is charged first with
misbehavior at the battle of Ball's
Bluff; secondly, with holding corres
pondence with the enemy before and
since that battle, and receiving visits
from rebel olVocrs in his camp; third
ly, with treacherously suffering the
enemy to build a fort, since the,battle,
under his guns, without molestation;
and fourthly, with a design to expose
his force to capture and destruction by
the enemy, under pretence of orders
for a movement from the Commanding
General Which had not been given.—
These are terrible charges to be brought
against it soldier, and 'General Stone
has been so highly thought of bY Maj.
General McClellan and all the other
high army officers, that we arc quite
sure that such charges could not be
made and entertained without the
strongest evidence of their correctness.
A court-martial will soon be ordered
to try the case; and if found guilty,
the prisoner will doubtless he hung or
shot without delay.
There have been a good many thou
sand traitors in this country since the
election of Abraham:Lincoln - , and when
we think of Twigg's surrender of- his
command in Texas', it is hard to con
ceive of a worse -grade of treason.—
But this alleged treason of Stone sur
passes even that in turpitudo. It has
no parallel since that of Arnold in the
revolution, and to that case it bears
several points of striking resemblance.
Happily for the country;the traitor
has been detected before he could con
summate all his designs, and before he
could escape to his friends, the ene
mies of his country.
Ever since the hattle,of Ball's Bluff,
the people have been' exercised as to
the authorship of that disaster, and
common sentiment has settled down
upon General, Stone. He gave the or
ders, in the attempt to execute which
the gallant Baker fell. The movement
was a palpable blunder, even in the
eyes of the unmilitary, and the friends
of the men who were stain, or wound
ed, or captured, or drowned, have been'
twonized to know why they were thus
sacrificed: Their curiosity,' at least, is
satisfied b 3-. the arrest of Stone. - Sus
picions have long rested on him, and
there has been no little bad feelitiglie
eanselhe Government' apparently re
fliset-to listen to the, charges against
him, and refused also to give Congress
information as-to the presumed causes
of the Ball's 'Bluff disaster. ..It,noar
seems probable that the military-au
thorities.. Were quietly collecting infor
mation, and that buy premature or
hasty proceedings -might have spoiled
all their plans fin. the arrest, trial and
conviction of the real off,mder. '
It will be remembered that soon af
ter the .Nlttle of Ball's Bluff, when the
public indignation against Stone was
at its highest point, a flag of truce ap:
peered from the enemy, conveying -a
letter from the rebel General Evans,
enclosing an order 'said to have been
found on life battlo.field ; and in the
letter General Evans expressed a warm
interest in General Stone's character
as a soldier, and a hope that the recov
ered paper would help to vindicate
him. This incident excited much in
dignation-at the time, and led to the
first suspicions of something worse
than a blunder—of actual coni-lon
with the enemy for the Sacrifice of the
gallant body of men sent across the
river under Baker. General Evans
showed so much interest in Stone's
case, and so much anxiety that noth
ing should be done to take him away,
even temporarily, from his command,
Unit it looked very much as if they
had concerted a plan fbr still - further
damage to the Federal army. This is
probably one of the cases of " corres
pondence with tho enemy," refemd to
in the charges brought against General
Stone.
The motives of this extraordinary
case are incomprehensible. Stone was
a Massachusetts man, and had no spe
cial interests in the South. But he
had lived long in - Washington, is mar
ried to a lady from a slave State, and
has, no doubt, become 'infected with
the silly love for the pretended "
toeracy". and "chivalry of the South,
which has prevailed so extensively in
Washington city and among the offi
cers of the regular army, • In no other
way than this, can we account for such
treason as his. Perhaps he was prom
ised honors and rewards by the Rebel
Government, and he was willing to
sacrifice his honor for these. Arnold
received for his treachery the sum of
£6,300 sterling from the British Gov
ernment, though he had been promised
more. It would be interesting to know
whether Stone rated his services high
er or lower, whether he was to get
more or less than Arnold.
This arrest will do good, and if a
conviction and speedy punishment'fol
low it, the good effects will be en
hanced. It has probably saved us
from a terrible disaster; for the man
that could plan and undertake the
Ball's Bluff crime, would not step at
even as great an undertaking as the
betrayal of the whole army of the Po
tomac and the transfer of the national
capital to the rebels. It will have, a
good effect upon the oflleers of the ar
my, too many of whom have been' in
the habit, like Stone, of sneering and''
scolding' at the Government, an in
dulging in slang of the low politicians,
instead of attending faithfully to the
simple duty of a soldier, obedience to
the orders of his Government. There
are many such in the army, and we
trust that the example made of Stone
will have a salutary effect on them.
The moral effect upon the; people
will also bo good. It shows that the
War Department is resolved to deal
sternly with treason in whatever shape
it takes. 'A few more such evidences
of a strong,,energelle purpose to. spare
no suspected man, however high his
rank, will strengthen the popular re
solve to si4taiti, the Government in its
war against the rebels. If there are
any more ofgers suspected, let them
be dealt with a'Stone has bto4l-7 1311 -
