ATTACK ON COLONEL WILSON'S
ZOUAVES.
BALTIMORE, Saturday, Oct. 12, LFIGL.
The Norfolk Day Book, received this morn
ing coutains dispatches from New-Orleans giv
ing an account of a surprise and attack made
on°Col. Billy Wilson's Zouaves at Santa Rosa
island on the Bih inst. Detachments from
several Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama
regiments made a landing in the night, and
drove in Wilson's pickets, shortly afterward a
fierce fight began.
The Zonaves of Col. Wilson are credited
with having fought with great bravery, and
the Rebels admit a loss of lorty killed and
about donble that number wounded. The
Rebels claim to have spiked the gnus of the
Zouaves and destroyed all their camp equipage.
They also claim to have committed great slaugh
ter among the Zouaves, but give no number of
the killed. The Rebels also say they carried
off a number of prisoners.
ADDITIONAL PARTICCLARS.
The Steamer Louisiana arrived here this
morning, and brought nearly 100 passengers,
including GO from Norfolk, who were permit
ted to leave by the Confederate authorities a
large proportion of whem are ladies and child
ren. Before they were permitted to leave they
were closely searched to prevent ihe conceal
ing of any newspapers. One gentleman, how
ever, who had placed The Norfolk Day Book
in Lis trunk escaped detectiou. It contains a
dispatch from New-Orleans giviug an account
of a desperately fought battle between Biily
Wilson's Zouaves and 1,000 rebels at Santa
Rosa Islaud, on the Bth iast.
The dispatch says :
" About 2 o'clock on the morning of the
Bth inst. the Confederates,commanded by Gen
Anderson, crossed the bay and lauded on
Santa Rosa Island, near Wilson's Zouave en
campment, without being discovered, drove in
the pickets, and stormed the place in less than
an hour. They destroyed all of Wilson's tents,
with the exception of the hospital one, captur
ed a large amount of ratious, equipments,
stores, and ammunition, and spiked all the
guns placed in position. Among the Confed
erate loss are Capt Bradford of Florida and
Lieut. Neims of Georgia, killed, and Licuts.
Bugler and Syre, badly wounded. The Con
federate force consisted of three companies of
a Georgia regiment, a portion of the Mobile
Continentals, three companies of Regulars, a
detachment of Mississippians and Georgians,
two hundred Alabamiaus, and a number of
naval officers and seamen,commanded by Capt.
Brent, formerly of the Federal Navy. Lieut.
James E. Slaughter, while conveying a flag of
truce for a cessation of hostilities, was badly
wounded. Major Israel Vodges of the Feder
al 2el Liirht Artillery, recently at Fortress
Alouroe, was taken prisoner."
AX ADVANCE BY THE REBELS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 lstil,
Yesterday afternoon, Gen. Smith's fureuiost 1
pickets were driven iu, and a large body of i
Rebel troops, artillery, iufantry, and cavalry, '
api*ared a mile and a half or two tn les from
Lewinsville. A32 pounder and a light piece i
of artillery were planted on a hill, and every
preparation was apparently made for an at
tack on our position at Prospect llill. Gen.
Smith's Division was ordered under arras, and
word was sent Gen. McClellan, who was at
another part of the lines. Thinking that the
enemy might mean mischief, Gen. McClellan
telegraphed to all the troops on the Virginia
side to be under arms, ready for action. He
summoned those of his stall" who were in Wash
ington, and ordered the troops Here to be pre
pared to march at a moment's notice, with
one day's rations. The Rebels, however, diu
nothing but look at Lewinsville and its de
fenders, and retired, firing a few radom shots,
which hit nothing. The orders to staff and in
fantry here were countermanded. Gen. Me-
Clellau left Lewinsville at daybreak, but did
not reach his house till afternoon. Everything
was quiet to-day at Lewinsville, Miners Hill,
and all our outposts. The pickets ou our right
wiug are only a quarter of a mile apart. —
Squads of Rebels, foot and mounted, are oc
casionally seen crossing the open fields out of
the woods. The horse of an officer of a scout
ing party, who went too near them, was shot
uuder him. The enemy will not attack us.
THE NAVAL EXPEDITION.
(From the New York Times, Monday, Oct. 14,1-01.)
The great uaval expedition that has been in
the course of preparation at this port for some
weeks begins to assumecolossal proportions
The steamers Cahatcba and Coatzacoalcns sail
ed on Saturday evening, carrying the Rhode
Island Regiment lately encamped at Fort
Hamilton, besides a force of experienced surf
men, with their boats. Yesterday morning
the Star of the South followed, having on
board Col. SERRELL'S Engineer Regiment, pre
viously announced as having gone to Washing
ton. This regiment numbers oUO in n, all of
whom are practical engineers or machines.
I)nriDg the day the transports Ocean Queen,
Eagle, Daniel Webster, Arid and Oriental also
sailed on the same errand. The remainder of
the fleet will probabbly leave today. The
transport Rhode Island, yesterday afternoon
went down as far as (Quarantine and anchor
ed.
It is understood that the fleet will rendez
vous at Annapolis, where it is stated the
number of troops will be largely augmented,
including infantry, artillery and cavalry.—
Among the troops who are to participate in
the expeditiou, are Col. WILSON'S Regiment
that passed through here last week.
It is impossible to give a full list of the ves
sels that will compose the fleet, as many of
them leave other ports besides New-York.—
Among those that sail from this port, besides
the ones above-mentioned, are the Wabash—
flag-ship ; the gunboats Ottawa and Unadilla;
transports, Baltic, Atlantic, Cahawaba, Van
derbi/t, Empire City, Parkerstmrgh, Roanoke,
Great Republic ; stca ink hips Augusta, James
Adger, Florida, Curlew, Alabama, Mercury,
O. M. Petitl, besides a large number of other
craft of various dimensions.
The Atlantic and Baltic, and others among
the transports, have gnns mounted. Some
idea may be formed of the maguitude of the
expedition, whcu it is stated that one of the
transports—the Daniel Webater —carries little
else but water for the troops.
Of the destination of this large force, of
course, we have nothing to say.
MOVEMENTS OK THE HOSTILE FOII
CES—DEFEAT OF THE REBELS
AT 11 ILLS BO 110.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 11, 16G1.
A special despatch front iudiauapolis to the
Commercial says :
The news front Kentucky is encouraging.—
Our forces are constantly increasing and the
rebels are becoming discouraged. Many of
Buckner's m il are without arms and shoes,and
only a few are uniformed.
Enlisting is progressing rapidly. Keutuck
iaus coming to the work manfully.
Colouel Hawkins' Kentucky regiment has
occupied Owensburg, and Judge Williams is
rapidly tilling up a regiment in the First dis
trict, which formerly the secession hotbed.
The Commercial's Flemingsburg (Kentucky)
correspondent a messenger from llillsboro has
arrived, stating that a company of rebels, SOU
strong, under the command of Capt. Holliday,
of Nicholas county, were advancing on llills
boro for the purpose of burning the place and
attacking Flemingsburg. Lieutenants Sadler
and Sergeant were despatched,with fifty Home
Guards (L T r.ion), to intercept them. The enernv
was found two miles beyond Hilhboro,encamp
ed in a barn. Our men opened fire ou them
causing them to fly in all directions. The
engagement lasted about twenty minutes. We
captured one hundred and twenty-seven Enfield
rifles, a large number of sabres' pistols, bowie
knives and cavalry accoutrements. Our loss is
three killed and two wounded.
THE REBELLION OS THE CHEROKEES. —The
St. Louis Beetling News has the following ac
count of the rebellion ol John Ross and his
Cherokees:
" The battle of Wilson's Creek had had the
unhappiest effect. The secession party against
which chief John Ross had struggled so hard,
and, apparently, with so much success—was
greatly strengthened by that event, and, insti
gated by emissaries of the Confederate states,
had renewed their violent clamors for alliance
with the South.
" Overborne by this pressure, John Ross,on
the 20th of August, called the Council togeth
er at Talequah and sent in a message recom
mending a severance of their connection with
the government of the Uuited States and an al
liance with the Southern Confederacy. The
Couucil, by a vote, approved of these recom
mendations, aud next day appointed commis
sioners to make a treaty of all.auce with the
southern government.
"The Confederate Commissioner at Taleqnali,
with authority from Richmond, had made pro
positions to the Council, offering to assume the
payment of the regular annuities which the
Cherokees had hitherto received f rom the Uni
ted States government, and which they feared
would be lost to them by an alliance with the
South. The proposition, together with the vio
lent and overbearing conduct of the secession
party, proved too much for the wavering Ross
and the Council ; and as they were threatened
by the invasion from Arkansas and Texas.and
without the hope of succor from the federal
government, they agreed to secede from the
United States, and unite with the rebel govern
ment.
" The wife of Chief Ross, however. held out
to the last, and refused to yield up her adher
ence to tlie Union After the proceedings of
the Council, a Confederate flag was prepared
to be hoisted over the Council House in Tale
cjufth, but Mrs. Ross declared that she would
not allow it, and threatened that if it were
raised, she would make her son, six years old,
tear it down. Owing to her spirited resistance,
the Hag was not raised."
FORTIFYING THE SUSQI EHANNA. —Engineer
crops, by order of the Federal Government,
are now sounding the Susquehanna from the
uiouth of the Juniata to the Chesapeake,locat
ing the fords and bridges,noting the bluffs aud !
inland hills,and exploring the tributary stream
wilbin that distance. They intend to accom
plish their work effectually that future recon
noissauce of the same country will be unneces
sary, and the means of defence they now poini
out will be of use for all wars to come. There
are no intermediate streams between the Sus
quehanna aud Schuylkill that could be de
fended at odds. The adjacent country affords
few fastnesses of forest and high hills. There
are in-Southeastern Pennsylvania only rolling
farm lands and fertile plains, upon which the
invaders could forage, aud picture beyond them
a country more beautiful still for rapacity and
courage to enjoy. The Government has f'or
seeu this, and to be forewarned is to be fore
armed. Had ever the rebels of Maryland suc
ceeded in voting that State out of the Union,
the struggle of arms would have changed its
scene of action from the banks cf the Potomac
to the banks of the Susquehanna. This is
very true ; and should a reverse possibly befall
our arms, it may still come to pass. We regard
litis reconuoissauce, therefore, of our National
authorities as second in importance to no en
terprise that our Government has undertaken.
It is made iu obedience to that wisest of State
maxims, "Iu time of peace prepare for war."
—Patriot and I nion.
IMPROVEMENTS IN STEAM ENGINES. —It is
stated that a patent has recently been taken
out in England for improvements in steam
engines, these improvements consisting in the
use of steain through a series of steam cylin
ders, of not less than three,when high pressure
steam is employed,as in non condensing engines
and four cylinders and upward when condens
ing apparatus is applied. The steam is caused
to pass through each cyliuder consecutively,
commencing at the cylinder having the small
est area, and passing forward to the next in
proportion to the whole series. The action of
the steam in each cyliuder is regulated by valves
as iu the case of an ordinary steam engine hav
ing two steam cylinders.
BILE RUN AMONG CAVALRY HORSES.—A
frightful stampede of cavalry horses occurred
at St. Charles, Mo , on the 3d inst. It ap
pears that Colonel Merrill's First Missouri
regiment of horses was on its way to reinforce
Fremont, and quartered for the night at St.
Charles. About ten o'clock the horses of
Captain Charles Hunt's company became
frightened and broke loose. The panic was
shared by the others, and soon fourteen hun
dred horses, maddeuad with fear, went rush
ing into the encampment, treading tents and
men into the earth, and creating a scene of un
paralleled excitement. Twelve men are known
to have been frightfully mangled, and probably
fatally.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS
Up to eleven o'clock on Friday night all
was quiet on the lines of the Potomac. Gen.
M'Clellan paid a visit to all the posts and re
turned late in the afternoon, finding every
thing iu complete condition. The rebel bat
teries on tbe lower Potomac showed no signs
of life, nor any disposition to molest our
vessels.
Dispatches from the Gulf squadron states
that the whole line of coast, from Galveston
to the Floriday reefs, is in a perfect state of
blockade, and the garrison at Fort Pickens
is in a position to attack Pensacola and the
adjoiuing forts of Mcltea and Barrancas.
The Northwestern Slates are evincing the
utmost activity in preparing for lie defense
of their soil in case of any reverses to the Un-
ion army in Missouri. Tlie Governor of Illi
nois, Minnesota and lowa, are using every
exertion to put the able bodied population in
to service, and in this respect are setting a
worthy example to the Eastern States. Gov
ernor Kirk wold, of lowa, has issued an im
portant ciieular for the full organization of
an army of defence. Governor Ramsay, of
Minnesota, is i:i Washington, and has ob
tained authority to raise a large force in his
State. G-overnor Yates, of Illinois, has also
obtained a million of dollars from the Gov
ernment, and a large number of guns for the
equipment of the Slate troops.
Nothing of importance has transpired at
I'ortress Monroe. . During the heavy storm on
Thursday night two rebel steamers came
down the river witli the intention of running
the blockade, but finding themselves observed
they returned. This event caused an alarm
at the fortress for a. short time.
The intelligence from Missouri is not very
important. A scout liad just arrived at Jef-1
ferson City from Springfield, and report at
headquarters that there were only 1,000 reb
els at that place, lie also learned that Ren.
McCulloch was at Camp Jackson, with only
150 men, waiting for re-enforcements from Ar
kansas. A large party of McCulloch's force,
who were with him at the batt'e of Wilson's
Creek, were with General Price at Lexington, j
ami the rest are with General Hardee. Ben.
McCulloch expects to join General Price at
Sac river about the 20 th iust., ai.d the com
bined force then expect to march on Jefferson
City. This information was credited at the
Missouri capital.
IJuite a.brilliant affair took place in Ken
tucky recently. Intelligence nuving reached
Fleiningsbufg that a party of three hundred !
rebels were advancing on llillsboro for the j
the purpose of burning that place anil attack
ing Fiemingsburg, a force or fitly Home j
Guards—Union, — under Lieutenant Sadler I
and Sargeant.wcnt out to intercept them. They 1
came upon them in a barn near the former
place, and dispersed them in all directions by
a heavy fire in about twenty minutes. The
Union troops lost three killed and wounded,
but they captured 121 Unfiled ri'fcs and a
large number of sabres, bowie knives and cav
alry accoutrements. Enlisning for the Union
iis progressing rapidly in Kentucky, while the
rebels are said to be very much discouraged.
On Saturday afternoon the foremost pick
ets of Gen. Smith, near Louisville, were driv
en in, and a large body of Rebel artillery, in
fantry, and cavalry appeared a mile and a
half from that place. It was thought that
the enemy was about to give battle in force.
The whole of Gen. Smith's Division was at
once put under arms. Gen. McClellan was
informed by telegraph of the posture of Bffairs.
The entire army ot the Potomac was placed
in readiness for immediate service, the Staff
officers of the General commanding were snm
moud from Washington, and all was activity
and excitement. After a short time, however,
; it became manifest that the Rebels would not
fight, and matters resumed their quiet aspect.
The celerity and ardor shown by our troops in
j preparing for action were cheering, however,
and gave good promise for the time, if it ever
i comes, when the enemy shall venture to make
the attack with which they now occasionally
threaten the National lines.
Washington was on Sunday excited with
the rumor that the Rebels had crossed the
Potomac, and cut in pieces the army of Gen.
Ranks. A special correspondent who was
dispatched from the Capital for news, how
ever, satisfactorily ascertained that the report
| had no foundation.
1 On Friday morning, before light, T,ient.
Ilarrell of the United States steamer Union,
at Acqnia Creek, having heard that a Rebel
schooner was lying ia Quantico Creek, and
knowing that a large number of troops were
collected at that point with the probable de
-1 sign of crossing the Potomac, set out with his
boat and two launches for the purpose of
burning her. As the little foree neared the
1 vessel the sentinels in charge of her fled, giving
tbe alarm. The light furniture was collected
iu the cabin, and the vessel was fired. The
flames enabled the enemy to see the retiring
boats, and sharp fire was directed toward
theiu ; the boats were repeutedly hit, and
even the clothes of the men were perforated,
but no one was hurt. The schooner was com
pletely destroyed.
The Norfolk Day Hook of a recent date
coutains dispatches from New Orleans, to the
effect that on the Bth inst., a thousand Rebels
crossed over from the main land to Sauta Ro
sa Island, ou which Fort Pickens is situated
and made a desperate attack on Willsoa's
Zouaves, who were encamped there. The
Rebels comprised detatchiuents from several
Mississippi, Louisuna, Georgia, and Alabama
regiments, under tbe command of Gen. Ander
son. What the result of this fight was, is not
elear ; the dispatches referred to states that
Willson's pickets were driven in, and his camp
was stormed for at hour, he losing the most
of his tents, having a large quantity of rations,
equipments, ammunitions, Ac., captured, and
having ali his guns spiked ; the account makes
the loss among his men heavy, but gives no
particulars ; it admits, however, on the rebel
side, a loss of forty killed and twice as many
wounded. It is almost certain that this nar
rative is incorrect ; for at the latest account
Willson had no artillery at all, and it is
thought that none had been supplied to him ;
the nature of bis defeuses, moreover, was such
that si force like that of the Rebels would
hardly have been able to overcome them—
certainly not iu the short time stated. The
dispatches which furnish this news admit that
Willson's men displayed great bravery.
From Kentucky we learn, apparently on
good authority, that Breckinridge, Preston,
Johnson, and other prominent Rebels are or
ganizigg a large camp at Prestonburg, in
that State. It is said that they have a force
of 0,000 or 7.000, that they arc drilling
with much activity, and that they are alarm
ing the inhabitants in the region about.
We learn from Washington that Sec
retary Cameron on Sunday returned to St.
Louis after his visit to General Fremont.—
It was reported that he bad given to the
General an order to surrender his command
to the officer next in authority. This ru
mor was, however, without foundation.—
No action will be taken till after careful tie
liberation by the Cabinet. General Fremont
lias 40,000 men at Tipton. Want or the
means of transportation, and of provis ons,
however, prevents him from moving them.—
Before leaving St. Louis the Secretary of War
directed him to suspend the field works he
Lad commenced about that city, and also to
cease constructing some barracks near his
residence for bis body sruard. By the same
letter Mr. Cameron directed him to employ
the funds in his hands for the payment of
current expenses, leaving accounts already con
traded for examination at the War Depart
ment. Some other instructions were sent to
the General.
8P55" The surplus" grain crops of the United
States, will not, probably, want a market. —
What we shall not need ourselves the foreign
market is likely to require so imperatively, as
to insure a demand from this country, at good
rates. Intelligence from Paris, as late as the
2 1 of September, states that the produce frui
new wheat now being threshed confirms the
apprehensions of a deficient harvest in the
greater number of the agricultural districts of
France. This fact has already begun to tell
on the European market, itq considerable in
creased importations of foreign corn at Mar
seilles, Bremen, Nantes, Havre, Dunkirk and
Strasburg. The imports are derived from
America, Rusia and Great Britain. The fol
lowing statement, by a Paris correspondent
of a London House shows the condition of
the grain market at Havre as late as the sec
ond of this month :
" From 115,000 to 120,000 sacks of Amer
ican wheat equal to 90 000 metrical qninrals
were sold last week at Havre. While wheat
averaged 3Gf. the 100 kilogrammes ; red
wheat, 34f. The floucr sold consisted of 7,-
184 bbls. from New York, at trom 35f. t
87f. the 88 kilogrammei, and 500 barrels of
Ohio flour at 381. 50c. the 88 kilogrammes,
21,520 metrical quintal? of wheat arrived at
Havre, last week, from New York, together
with 1,051 barrels of New Yoik Hour."
&-2F The Asia brings European advices to
the 29th of September—two days later. The
London Times, having announced that the
three allied Powers contemplated an invasion
of the soil of Mexico, the government organ
—the London Post contradicts the statement,
and repeats the assertion that a grand naval
demonstration against the republic, and the
sequestration of the customs revenues to pay
ment of the debts, is ail that is contemplated
by England, France and Spain. The treaty
was not signed at the latest moment, and
the Paris Patrie. states that N ipoleon had
some hesitation in doing so. A French war
ship had been, however, ordered from Brest to
the Gnlf of Mexico. The London Times savs
thnt President Lincoln approves of the intend
ed demonstration The war news from Amer
ica was still anxiously looked for in Paris and
London, and one of the correspondents in the
first named city again deelars that Napoleon
will be found an enemy to the Union, should
our arms sustain another reverse. The effect
of the war, so far, was very injurious to ibe
manufactures interests of Lyons.
BUT" Six of our wounded men lived nine
days on the battle field at Willson's Creek,
Mo., before they were accidentally discovered
by a Union man and taken care of. The
poor fellows obtained nnrishroent by crawling
about and getting food from haversacks left
on the field.
MCCLELI.AN. —Accoant-S from Washington
testify to tiie vigor and accessibility of Major-
General McClellan. Although he has an im
mense force under his command, and is literal
ly linrdened with business, he is in the saddle
nearly all the time, and U known to every man
in his command He does not peitorm 'js
duties through the agency of valets und u-liers
but with his own proper hand in the tents of
the soldiers. In this respect his custom is
worthy ot imitation, lie goes himself when
anything is to be done, lit* examines the pro
visions, sets thai all requisitions, pay-rolls, Ac.,
are properly drawn. He never awaits the
coming of officers to him, but goes to the regi
mental camp and does the business on the
spot. Thus no one dances attendance upon
him. All that men have to do is to stay at
their posts and attend to their duty in order
to see him.
He lives with his army. He knows what
tlit*y net c), and himself to see that they
jft-t it. In all these respecttt he is u true re
■publican General, and we doubt uot is destiued
to success— Chicago Times.
HENRY S. MAORAW —This gentleman

pfternoon, havintr been liberated by lltt* Reb

day or two after the battle at Lull Run, he !
crossed over into Virginia for the purpose
of procuring the body of Cd. Cameron, and
was captured by the enemy's scouts. From j
Mauussas he was sent to Richmond where In*
