Capture of 50 Wagaos and 500 Oxen by the Rebels. NEWS FROM THE FLEET. FORTRESS MONROE, NOV. 12, 1861. The steamer Beinville has just arrived at Old Point from the great expedition. She left Port Royal on Sunday and brings cheering intelligence. She proceeds at once to New York where sho will be due to-uiorrow evening. Capt Stcedman, however, left her at this place, and proceeds direct to Washington with dispatches aud trophies—two brasscausou and secession flags. lie reports the gale encountered by the fleet to hare l*een very severe. The Union and Osceola went ashore aud were lost as pre viously reported. The Governor foundered at Bea, but the Issac T Smith succeeded in saviug all her crew with the exception of a few marines. The fleet arrived at Port Rjyal on Monday, the 4ih inst. On Tuesday the sma'ler gun boats rounded and buoyed out the channel under a fire from the forts which did no damage. On Wednesday the weather prevented active operations, but on Thursday morning tlie 7th the men of-war and gun-boats advauced to the attack The action commenced at 10 a ra. and was hotly carried on on both sides and lasted about four hours. At the end of which time the rebels were compelled by the shower of shells to abandon their works aud beat a hasty re treat. Our loss was eight men and an officer. The Chief Engineer of the Mohigau was killed, and about twenty wounded. Rebtl loss uot known. Fifty bodies were found by our men and were buried. All their wounded except two were carried off. Two forts were captured--Fort Walker on Hilton Head, mounting tweuty three guns aud Fort Beauregard ou Bay Point,mounting nine teen guns. The guns were of heavy calibre. They were both new and splendid earthworks Of great strength, constructed in the highest style of military science aud pronounced by our Euglneerti as impreguable agaiust any assault by laud forces. The final retreat of the rebels was a perfect route. They left everything, arms, equip ments of all kinds, even to the officers swords and commissions. All the letters and papers, both public and private,order hooks and documents of all kinds, were left iu their flight and fell into our hands, affording our officers much valuable informa tion. Among the papers was a telegram from Jeff Davis to the commander of the post, in forming liim of the .sailing of the fl-etand that he knew their destination to be Port Royal (Qatry ? who was the trai or ?) The whole surrounding country was seized with a perfact panic. The day after the fight the Seneca and two other gunboats under the command of Lieut Amman, proceeded up the Beaufort, and fount! but one white man iu the town, and he was drunk. All the plantations up the river seemed to be deserted except by the negroes who were eeen in great numbers and who as the boats passed came down to the shpre with bundles in their hands as if expecting to be taken off They seized all the letters in the post office at Beaufort. After the capture of the forts the whole army about fifteen thousand men, were safely landed and established on shore. The fort* were but little injured, bnt the rebels could uot stand live explosion of our big shells. The force of the em my, as ascertained from their papers was from three to four 'bousand men uuder Geueral Drayton, of South Curo lina. Our victory is complete, the enemy leaving everything but their lives, which they saved by running. J. S Bradford of the Coast Survey, hearer of dispatches and Lieut P. 11. Wyman, com manding the Pawnee, also arrived t' ie Bein ville and taKe the boat to-uightfor IJSI tiro ore The boats from the Wabash were the first to land after the fight, and Capt. John Roger' was the first man on shore. The boots returned loaded with valuable tro phies of ail kinds. One of our officers finding an elegant cavalry sword with solid silver scab bard. Swords, pistols. &e., <fcc., were scatter ed about in every direction and in any quanti ty But four prisoners were found, two of them were wounded. All hands connected with the expedition are represented as acting iu the most gallant manner. The reporters who accompanied the expedi tion return to New York in the Bienville with full details. CAPTURE OF MASON AND SEIDELL FORTRHBS MONROE, Friday, Nov. 15, 1861. The United 8' ates frigate San Jucinto.C.ipt Wilkes, came irrto the Roads to-day with Sli dell and Mason as prisoners on board. They had embarked on board and English mail steamer. Hearing of th-e fact, Capt. Wdkes determined to take them, and, coming up with the steamer in the Bermuda Channel, he sent aboard and demanded the surrender of the arch rebels. The reply was, that there was not. force enough to take tliern. Capt. Wilkea thereupon put the San Jacinto into a convenient position, and sent Lieut Fair fax and thirty five armed men from the San Jacinto with five officerß, who boarded the 1 steamer and picked out the Commissioners. 1 Messrs. Siidell and Mason made feeble re sistance, but wereitiduced to leuve with Lieut. Fairfax. The Captain of the steamer raved and swoie, railed the United States officers "pira tical Yankees" and other abusive names. One of the Secretaries of the Rebel Commis sioners, named Hustod or Hur-taoe, also show id resistance ; but himself and colleague ao eompanied their employers to confinement. Messrs. Siidell and Mason were then sur j rendered. The English steamer took them on board 1 knowing, who tbey were, their destination and ! business. Capt. Wilkes is understood to have acted on> his own responsibility. M essrs Siidell and Mason asked permission of Gen. Wool to scud letters to their friends, which was granted. The letters were open of j course. DISASTROUS FORAGING EXPEDI TION. WASHINGTON, NOV. 17, LE>6l. Yesterday morning a foraging party .consist ing of fifty-seven of the 30ih N. Y. Volunteers, attached to Gen. Reyes's Brigade, went, cut to Doolin and Brush's Farm, three miles and a . half westofUptous Hill, to draw away the j forage which they had collected and left a day or two before. They took with them five four horse wagons, and after loading up, Doolin, one of the owners of the farm, invited the men in to dinner. The soldiers foolishly accepted, and more foolishly stacked their arms outside the house, and went in, leaving eight men act ing as pickets in the neighborhood. The mo ! meut the men sat.down to dinner Doolin dis j patched a servant to the house of Brush, a mile distant, with a message that he should in form the Rebels of the presence of our soldiers This being done, liebi.l cavalry, numbering about 200, suddenly appeared,overpowered the pickets before they couid give alarm, and sur rounded our.festive fools at Doolin's table. A number ol men made their escape, but the fol tewing, together with the wagons and horses, were captured by the Rebels; Capt VV. L. Laiiuing, Second Lieutenant Jas. W. Andrews, Corporals M. White, P. Coonev and G. 11. Vauderzei ; privates P. Frazier, George Ale Wharton, L Ilardigen, Harris Stafford. John Sleight, L). G. B. Morris, A. Holtzer, N. W. Rowland, Coles Stanton, C. B. Elms, Win Peek, A W. Porter, Titos. .Porter, Walter Merrick, Louis Marto, II C Smith, Robert Whelan, Wat. McCorntick, Stephen Stickles, Freeman Clapper, Jas. MoTrison, Daniel Con nor and Ned ILiley. Doolin and Brush, who previous to this time, were supposed to be good Union men. were arrested to-day on the charge of having betrayed our troops. THE REBEL ARMV OPPOSITE. It is not believed at Headquarters that any considerable number of troops have been with drawn from the Rebel army opposite Wash ington, in consequence of the invasion of South Carolina. Beauregard has uot gone to Charles ton as reported. The rumor, however, which imputes to him inclination to resign unless a tui re vigorous policy be adopted in the con duct ol the war, is uot without foundation. THE MASSACRE AT GUYANDOTTE, VIRGINIA. CINCINNATI , NOT. IT, 1861. I The defeat of the Union forces at Gtiyan dotte, on Sunday night, was accompli-hed by trickery on the part of the inhabitants. It seems that a force of rebel cavalry, var iously 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 inhabitants of Guyandotte, to annihilate the Federal forces in that town. The Federal troops consisted of 250 men of the Virginia Regiment, and a few of Ziegler's Virginia ca valry. It was arranged between the rebel ca valry and rebel citizens to massacre our troops in cold blood Accordingly, the rebel citizens became very courteous to our troops, and, on last Sunday evening, invited them to their houses on vari ous pretexts. The invitation was accepted by all who were off duty, and, while they were being entertained, at about 8 12 o'clock at night, the rebel cavalry dashed into the town Signals were displayed from every house where the loyal Virginians were unsuspiciously en joying themselves, and into these the rebels rushed, murdering the unarmed soldiers in add blood. The rebel citizens, men and women, rushed to arms, and aided the cavalry in the slaughter. The Federal troops who were in camp pre pared as soon as possible for their defence, but were everpowered, and had to break lines 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. Ziegler arrived and ascertained the particulars of this fiendish outrage, he ordered the destruction of the town. The build ings were immediately fired,aud the whole town reduced lo ashes. CAPTURE OF FIFTY WAGONS AND FIVE HUNDRED OXEN BY THE REBELS. KANSAS CITY, Saturday, Nov. 10, 1861. A wagon-master arrived here gives inforina lion of the capture by the Rei els, at 3 o'clock this morning, a mile and a half from Pleasant Hill, Cass Coir ty, Missouri, of filty wagons and five hundred oxen, which were on their way to Sedalia. When the wagon master escaped, the yokes of the oxen were be ng burdfcd, and preparations were also being made to burn the wagons. The teamsters were all take' nrisdnera. Colonei J< nni on will march immediately for Pleasant Ilili. The creation o,' the new militarv district of Kansas, with Major General Hunter in com mand, gives great satisfaction and confidence to the citizens of Kansas. General Lane's command was expected at Fori Scott on the evening of the li'h inst. A doubtful report says that there is a force of a thousand Rebels at Bower's Mills, fifty miles iroin Fort Scott. THE FLEET GONE SOUTHWARD. FORTRESS MONROE, Friday, Nov. 15.18C1. The fleet is understood to have gone to Pensacola. News of another exploit may be expected soon. A dispatch from Savannah, the 14th states that the fleet bad passed Fernandina, standing southward. Privrte advices represent that the captare of Port Royal has produced the greatest ex cite me tit throughout the Sooth, and especially along the seaboard,from the cities and villages of which the people are fleeing in the greatest precipitation. A dispatch from Charleston to The Rich mond Inquirer, the 14th, states thai Gen. Sherman had taken possession of Pickney Islands, seized all the able-bodied negro men and sent them to the fleet. MOVEMENTS OF GEN. PRICE AND BEN MeCULLOCH. &N. Loris, Sato/day, NOT. 16. 186 L The armies of Gen. Price and Ben McCul loch luave retreated into Arkansas. It is under stood that they have gone to Fort Smith, where supplies Have been collected,and Winter quarters built. Before leaving Missouri, they fired all the hay siacks, corn-cribs, Ac., in their vicinity, to prevent our forces from ob taining forage in ca.>e we pursued them. Previous reports regarding the iuimiuency of a battle on the 2d inst, originated in a large foraging parly of Rebels ou Wilson's Creek being mistaken for the advauee guard of the enemy. REPUDIATION BY GEN. HUNTER OF THE TREATY BETWEEN PRICE AND FREMONT ST. Loris, Saturday, Nov. 16, 1861. Geu. Hunter has sent a letter to Gen. Pric, by a flag of truce,repudiating the treaty between Gens. Fremont and Price, entered in to November 1, and addressed a letter to Adjt.-Geu. Thomas, setting forth his reasons therefor. THE BATTLE OF PIKETON NOT A HOAX. WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. 18,1861. A dispatch from Cincinnati states thut the reported battle at Piketon was a hoax. If a hoax, it was one which resulted iq the capture of twenty-seven hundred prisoners. The misap prehension arose from the fact of two battles having been fought. On the first day, the main battle was fought, in which four hundred were killed and twenty-seven hundred taken prisoner. The following day, however, the rebels rallied, and in the skiriui>h that ensued they lost between thirty and forty men. That we have not earlier received full intelligence from Gen. NELSON is attributed to'he fact that Piketon is nearly 150 miles from railroad com munication, and the intervening space is over a mountainous district, and at this seasou of the year over bid roads. The Fiftieth Pennsylvania Regiment in the late Gaie. The accounts of the naval expedition, report the almost miraculous escape of the steamer Winfield Scott, having on board about 500 men of the Fiftieth Pennsylvania regiment The gale on Friday night was very severe, and the Scott was exposed to the full force of the storm ; she had her masts all carried away, and her bows stove in, and suffered in other ways. She is an iron steamer, new, this being her first trip. During the gale her iron and wood separated, abaft the starboard pad dle-box, opening a hugb seam, which let the water enter in t rreuis All the soldiers (500 of the Fiftieth Pennsylvania regiment) were set to work at the pumps. They behaved ad mirably, both officers aud men, and are highly | couimeuded by the captain and officers of the ship fur their efficient service. Some of her own officers, however, did not behave so well, but disgrased themselves and their ship, as will appear in their sequel. The Scott ran up the signal of distress, which brought to her assistance the Bienville. The officers of the Scott manned their boat, placed in it three wounded men and women, who, with tlf bout's cr w <_ot safelv on board the Bienville, out ''"bout swauio-d • M" ; The Bienville then sent her own boat,anteu no Sooner came near the Scott, than the engi incr, his assistant, the carpenter, and a num- j her of the crew, basely deserted I heir posts, leaped into the boats, and went on board the Bienville, when this boat also swamped. The Bienville then resolved to lie by the Scott, to render her all assistance in case of further uud mare urgent ueed. The Scott, however, by dint of throwing overboard all her subsistence stores, and by the vigorous help of the soldiers, succeeded in weathering the storm. In the hurry cf the moment, owing to some misunderstanding cf orders, about three hundred of the Pennsyl vania Fiftieth.tiirew overboard tli'irguus.knap sacks uud overcoats. With regard to the de sertion of the ship, by the engiueers and oth ers, it may be stated that the eugiues at no time ceased working, or were* in any way out of order. The ship is built iu three compart meuts, and water entered but one, and came into that one through ;ne rudder hole. The desertion of their posts, by those men at such a time was as unnecessary as it was cowardly. Destructive fire iu Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 14, 1861. This morning at 2 o'clock, a fire broke out in the iron works of Ridgewav A Co., at the corner of Ashmead aud Clinton street, Ger mantown. The (limes spread with great rapid ity, entirely destroying the buildings aud a large quantity materials. The loss is esti inaied at SIO,OOO, upon which there is insu rance of $7,000. The works were usually engaged in the man ufacture of hardware ; but lately the hands were largely employed iu making sabres for the Government. It is supposed that the J place was set on fire. It is a singular fact that within a short time no less than seventeen woolen factories in va rious parts of the north, all of which were en gaged in the manufacture of supplies for the army, have been in whole or part destroyed by fire. Othei establishments employed on Government work of other descriptions, have been destroyed, and a suspicion is excited that the conflagrations have been caused by trait ors who wish to cripple the operations of the Government. Meeting of the Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railroad. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 14. The Stockholders of the Pennsylvania Rail road nga'n met at noon today. The tellers then announced the vote on the resolution agreeing to tlie lease of the Phila delphia and Erie Railroad. The vote was as below ; Whole nnmlier of shares vottd 137,006 In lavor of the lease, 133.622 Against the lease 2.374 Majority, 133,148 As the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad Coin pany have excepted the lease, this action of the Pennsylvania Railroad Compuny makes it a duality. WILLIAM L YANCEY'S PROGRESS IN ENG LAND —BOSTON, Nov. 14.—0n the person of James Brown, who was arrested here as a traitor, was found a letter from William L Vancv, in England, to his son in Alabama, in which he speaks disonragingly of the pros pects of a recognitioq of the rebels by the European powers E. O. aOODRICM, EDITOR TOWA.:NI>A. : Thursday Morning, November 21, 1861. THE LATEST WAR NEWS. The topic of absorbing interest is, of course, the arrest of Mason and Slidell. The news published last week to the effect that a latge body of Union troops had sud denly appeared in Eastern Virginia,would now seem to have been prematurely announced; for we learu that on Sunday 4.000 of our men were to march from Snow Hill, Md. f into Ac eomac and Northampton Counties. Gen. Dix issued n proclamation to the people of Virgin ia, calling on them to offer no obstruction to the intended occupation of their territory, and promising in that ease thai thoy should be in no unaeces-ary way molested. We hear from Western Virginia that on the LOtb Gen. Cox's brigade crossed the Kenna wha and New River, acd drove the enemy three miles back from their positions. Gen. Benham had a sharp skirmish with them, which was ended by the fall of night ; the rebels took advantage of this respite to run ; as soon as Gen. Benham discovered their move ment, he set out after them, but after a chase of twenty five miles through adreucbiug rain, gave up the pursuit. Dispatches from Fortress Monroe state that the rebels in large forces have gathered at Great Bethel,and that an attack by them upon Newport News is not improbable, but beyond tbis we have no information on the uoint. Messrs Gwin, Benham, and Brant, who ar rived at New- Voi k on Friday in the Champi on, were on Saturday rc-arrested and sent to Fort Lafyetie, preparatory to being removed to Fort Warren, iu Boston Harbor. A foraging party went out from the neigh borhood of Washington on Saturday and suc ceeded in obtaining a large quantity of corn. A squad iu charge of five wagons accepted from a preteuded Union man un invitation to dinner ; whiUpartakiog of this refreshment, having separated from their wagons and left their arms behind them, they were cut off and most of them captured by rebel cavalry. The forage was also taken. Byway of Key West and Havana, we learn that the rebels have recently made another at tempt to capture BILLY WILSON'S Zouaves, on Santn Rosa Island, but that their failure was even more humiliating than on the first oc casion. It appears that Col. WILSON'S patrols discovered some fifteen hundred rebel troops about twenty miles from Fort Pickens, and im mediately informed the commander of the Na tional fleet, who sent a force and shelled the rebels off the Island, with great loss. Letters published in the Cincinnate Gazette and writteu by those engaged in the famous fight at Piketon, Kentucky, must be accepted as conclusive evidence that the maguitude of the engagement lias been greatly overrated The rebels had a force of 740 men—Cls in fantry aud 125 cavalry. The National forces, under Gen. Nelson, came upon them as they lay in ambuscade, and in the brisk encounter which followed thirty two rebels were killed and none takeu prisoners, while the Union troops lost four killed and had twenty four wounded. The fighting lasted one hour and twenty minutes,and ended in the complete rout of the rebels. On the succeeding morning the National forces occupied Piketon without further opposition. TIIE Cily of Manchester, from Liverpool and Qurenstown, on the 6:h and 7th inst , passed Cape Race on Saturday evening with four days later news from -Europe. The con ventiou between England, France, and Spain, concerning intervention in Mexico was signed at London ou the 31st nit. A surmise of ulte rior designs is again afloat. The London Times finds fault with Secretary Seward's dis patch to Lord Lyons, and ridicules his circu lar to the Governors of States concerning tor tifications. The London Herald and Post are also occupied with the correspondent of Lord Lyons and Mr. Seward. It is believed that France requires a large loan. The con tinental ue ws generally is not important. GEN. SCOTT'S PREDICTION —It is very en couraging that both General Scott and Gen. McClellan declare that this war can not be long. The former is more deflnate than the latter in limiting its duration. Gen. Scott be fore the Chamber of Commerce aod the Union Defense Committee, on Friday, averred he *' had mo doubt " that Gens. McClellan and Ilallock " will achieve a successful aud honor able peace wit hi i a few months." These gentlemen overlooking the whole field and understanding the opposing forces better than ordinary observers can do,speak positive ly—not boastfully, but with calm confidence. The country may well have faith in their opin ions on the subject. MEMBERS OF CONRRESS IN THE ARMY.— Among the members of the present Congress now in the active service of the United States against the rebels, are Hon. John 11. Mo- Clearmand and Hon. Owen Lovejoy, of Illinois ; Kellogg, of Michigan ; Senator Wil son, Massachusetts ; Senator Sherman, of Ohio ; Hon. Johu S Phelps, of Missouri; Hon. James S. Jackson,of Kentucky ; Hon.
