JEFFERSON CITY, NOV. 22, IS6I. Pass c ngersby the train from the West re port that the rebels burned Warsaw uight be fore last, to prevent its being used as winter quarters for our troops. The intelligence reached Syracuse just before the train arriv ed, and is considered reliable. A quantity of government stores was destroyed. A traiu of eighty wagons, with an escort of 200 men, left Sedaiia a few days ago for Leavenworth. A messenger reached Sedaiia at twelve o'clock last night, annonncing that they had been attacked near Knobnoshea by 500 or GOO rebels and the train captured. Refugees continue to arrive here in crowds many in a most destitute condition, ASSASSINATION OF JUDGE RICH-' ARDS, OF MISSOURI. ST. LOUIS, MO., NOV. 22,1661. J Judge Thomas S. Richards was shot through a window of the Court House in Memphis, Scotland county, Monday last, while confined as a prisoner in the hands of Colonel Moore, of the Home Guard. Colonel Moore subse quently offered a reward of SI,OOO for the ap prehension of the assassin. THECAMPAIGN IN NORTHWESTERN VIRGINIA. [From the Wheeling Intelligencer, Nov. 21.] - It is understood that the troops of General Reynolds' command are being divisioned for j active service in other quarters of the country. Our advices from Cheat Mountain are that several of the Ohio regiments are ordered and are now on their way to Kentucky. Others, it is reported, will take up the line of march in a few days for General Kelley s headquarters i at lloniiiey, and i' connection with the force already there commence a forward movement, in concert with an expected movement of the grand army of the Potomac. The advance camp of General Reynolds,now ! holding the mountain pass, will retain their po-itiou, and will make themselves snug aud comfortable and secure in their strorgly in trenched block houses. The rebels who have heretofore threatened his advance have pretty much all dissipated away. Their owu accounts of themselves, as ascertained in their captured letters, are gloomy enough, Out ol oue thou sand three hundred meu in oue body, not three hundred were fit for service. No doubt their condition is deplorable : And it has been so ever since they earne to Western Virginia. In the first place they found a different state of things from what they expected. They found a population who did not welcome them as deliverers ; a people who had little or no sympathy with them. In the next place they found the elements against them. The storms and frosts and chills of Cheat Mountain were not by any means the balmy zephyrs of the South. At midsummer even their clothing did not suffice to protect them from suffering at night. Added to this their food was bad and scanty. They fell sick on it. And when they were taken down they had miserable attendance. They " died like sheep," as their doctor writes. The failure of rebellion in Western Virginia may be considered complete. Floyd, poor thief uud traitor, lies stolen off with most of his com mand, utterly frustrated aud crippled, llis course, as also that of Wise, has been one of constant humiliation. They have been beaten and worsted from the start. The campaign in Western Virginia has been a'miserable failure The leaders go home to receive the upbraid ings and reproacbas of their papers and their people. Already Wise is sick iu bed-sore at beart--his braggadocia all exposed. Floyd's private character is bitterly aspersed,and even among his confederates nought remaius for him but an ignominious rtrnnau". of file. TWENTY-FOUR OF JENNISON'S TROOPS ROUT 150 REBELS. KANSAS CITY, NOV. 20. Col. Burcbard and twenty-four men of Jen nison's Brigade, attacked Captain Ilays, with 150 Rebels, at the latter's place of residence to day, aud succeeded in driving them away,burn ing Hays' house and the house of a man nam ed Gregg. Both Hays and Gregg are captains in the Rebel army. Colonel Burcbard and Lieut. Bostwiok were slightly wounded, and their two horses were killed. The Rebels had five men killed aud eight wounded, JEFFERSON, CITY, NOT. 20. (Speciul to the St. Louis Democrat .) —The old terrior has settled down npoil the counties of the Southwest siuee the retrograde move ment of our urmy, aud refugees are beginning to arrive again, driven from their homes by fear of l'iice's rebels, who arc reported to be again advancing. Mr. Gravelly, a member of the State Con vention, airivcd here last night Iroiu Spring field, which place he left on Friday last. He says a body of three thousand of Price's cavalry have made their appearance at Sareoxie, and that foraging parties follow op the back of our receding army, plundering the Union citi zens, and renewing, with impunity, every species of outrage. He passed a train ol emigrant wagons, a mile long,containing Union refugees, and another train of five wagons ar rived here to day. Five prisoners were brought up tc-day from Calloway county,being the first fruits of au expedition which was seut iuto that county yesterday. These prisoners are charged with repeated outrages on Union men, FROM TIIE EASTERN SHORE OF VIRGINIA. BALTIMORE, NOV. 20,1661. Information received at head-quarters this evening from Aecomac county, announces the disbanding of about 3,000 rebel troops, who had beeu iu camp uear Drummondtown. As the expedition advaueed the rebel flags disappeared, and the Union citizens hoisted their flags, which had hitherto been concealed. Ihe proclamation of General Dix had been scattered through the country, aud, when re ceived in camp where the Union meu had been drafted and forced iuto service, they rebelled, and the commanding officers were compelled to disband their whole force. The secessionists said the force coming against them was so great that they thought it folly to resist, and the Union men met them with hearty cheers and great enthusiasm. As far as the expedition had progressed ihere was every evideuee that a large majority of the people were opposed to secession, and the troops were hailed as their delivers from tyranny and oppression. The people were suffering for many of the necessaries of life, and are rejoicing at the prospect of a revival of trade and commerce with Baltimore and Philadelphia,on which they depend for a livelihood. Information received from Northampton county (which is south of Aecomac) warrants the belief that the rebels there will also dis band. They have destroyed the bridges and felled trees across the roads : biit the procla mation of Gen. Dix has giveu boldness to the Uuion men and satisfaction to the people gen erally. All who are not loyal will be disarm ed. The Union men who had fled iuto Maryland to prevent being forced iuto the militia,are re turning to their homes. SECOND DISPATCH. BALTIMORE, NOV. 2L Intelligence has just been received that the rebels of Northampton county, Ya., have laid dowu their arms to the number of eighteen huudred, aud that the federal troops have now full possession of that county as well as Ae comac. IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI. TIPTON, MO., NOT. 24,1861. The burning of the priucipal part of the town of Warsaw is confirmed by a gentleman who arrived frcm there this evening. The main business portion of 'the town, consisting of one large block aud several smaller ones, was in flames when the gentleman left The town being scattered, it is probable that near ly all the residences escaped. The Quartermaster and Commissary De partments were located in the large block, but a greater portion of the Government stores had been removed. It is supposed to be the work of rebels. The troops who were there at the time were on the march tc Sedaiia, aud left the morniug following the fire, which occurred on Tuesday. LATER— via Sedaiia. —The town was fired about 0 p. tu. on Tuesday. The troops which were stationed there left about Bp. m. and are now here. A portion of the commissary stores, for which we had the transportation, were burned by order of the commanding officer. It is thought by the commanding officer that the towu was fired by the rebel citizens, as a man, dressed in citizen's clothing, was seen crossing from the building iu which the fire orgiuated. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24, 1861. Gen. Halleck has issued lenghty General Orders, making the eutire officers of this de partment conform strictly with the Army re gulations, and reducing everything to a com plete and easily understood system. CAPTURE OF REBEL OFFICERS AND CANNON. BALTIMORE, Nov. 24,1861. Very gratifying dispatches were received to-day by Gen Dix from Eastern Virginia.— They announce the capture of the three Rebel officers (a captain and two lieutenants), and also the capture of seven cannon—all entirely new and in gook order. The dispatches state that all traces of dis loyalty seem to have disappeared from both cou:itie3. Deputations of the people come in daily to pet copies of the proclamation of Gen. Dix, and to ask for the protection which it promises them. They are evidently anxious to renew their allegiance to the Federal Gov-j ernment. County meetings will be held in both counties to morrow, to lake measures to this end, and Northampton joined to Maryland the people will probably at first adopt the State Government of Western Virginia as u temporary measure, and then look to legisla tion by that State and Maryland for the final settlement of their political condition. The Government has promptly responded to the assuranees in Gen. Dix's proclamation The Secretary of the Treasury has given orders to restore the light at Cape Charles, und the Postmaster General has seut a special ugent to renew postal connection with both counties. EXPEDITION UP YORK RIVER. FORTRESS MONROE, NOV. 23, ISGI. I Via BALTIMORE, NOV. 24,1861. ) i Last evening the United States gunboats Cambridge and Hetzcl, from the fleet off New | port News, proceeded up the York River i some distance, and at 10 1-2 o'clcck opened a hot fire of shells on a rebel camp at Warwick 1 The attack was apparently unexpected, as i scarcely if any resistance was made. Between I 40 and o0 shells, fifteen and twenty seconds ' t fuses, were fired from the guns of our vessels ! The rebel camp was entirely demolished, and the supposition is that a large number of reb els most have been killed. This much I learn from the sijrnals from i Newport News, but full particulars I have been unable to learn. The firing was plainly heard at this point, and the excitement occasioned thereby has been | immense. Gen. Phelps has been relieved of his post ( at Newport News, and Brig. Gen. Joseph 11. F. Mansfield ordered to assume command in stead. Col. ivJax Weber of the 20th Regiment New York Volunteers, has been appointed commander of Ct*mp Hamilton. FROM FORTRESS MONROE. FORTRESS MONROE, Friday, Nov. 22,1861. ) Via BALTIMORE, Saturday j i>ov. 23, 1861. f Several regiments have arrived here from Baltimore and Annapolis during the last twenty j lour hours, and Old Point has assumed au un usually bustling appearance. Formidable pre | partitions are being made for active operations i the theater of which has not been disclosed.— The ferry-boats of the Roads are beiug heav ily armed. Gen. Butler came on from Wash ington this morning, and he spent the day at Old Point, the Rip Raps, and Newport News, lie will proceed to Baltimore to-night. BALTIMORE, Nov. 24,1861. The Old Point boat, which arrived this morning, brings but little news. About midnight on Friday the gunboat Cambridge proceeded up the James River as far as Warwick, and engaged a rebel battery. No particulars have transpired further thau that the rebel battery replied with spirit, but was fiuallv silenced. Tbe Cambridge is said to have received one shot, but no particular damage. MESSAGE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. On the 16th inst , Jefferson Davis transmit ted his message to the Rebel Congress now sitting at Richmond. He professes to be eri tirely satisfied with the eoudition of affairs— boasts of abundant crops—increase of South crn in consequence of the war —the brilliant, successes of the rebel army—the satisfactory operation of the treasury depart ment ; and treats with derision the idea of a reconstruction of the Uniou. He denonuces the war on the part of the Federal Govern ment as barborous • charges that the arrest of Slidell and Mason is a violation of interna tional law, declares that the blockade is in effectual and therefore not binding upon ueu tral nations ; threatens summary vengeance up on prisoners in certain contingencies; and calls upon the rebel Congress to provide the means for prosecuting the war to the bitter end. Strange Story of Loyalty and Treach ery. A Nolin (Kv.,) correspondent of the Cin cinnati " Gazette," says: There is nowjin the United States servce in Kentucky a regular army officer and Brigadier General of Volunteers, who, five mouths ago, had actually written out his resignation of his commission in the United States army,with the intention of offering his services to the South ern Confederacy. A native of the South, and for years stutioued a various poiuts on the ex treme Southern frontier, ho had naturally enough embibsd the prejudices of his section, and when Lincoln was elected Presideut he fully believed, intelligent man though he was, that the uew Administration was to inaugu rate a course of oppression of the South—not merely with reference to the system of slavery but in denying them equal political privileges, in destroying their commercial equality, and in using every advantage that power would con fer to promote Northern prospeiity at the ex pense of Southern interests. With such cou victioos he wrote out his resignation. Just then the shameless treason of his super ior officer released him from duty for a time, and disgusted with the treachery, he resolved, before honorably severing his own connection J with an army that had thus basely been betray ed, in the interest of his section, to travel | Nilrth and see the condition of tilings for him self. He soon saw much to shake his deter mination, and while thus undecided he fell in with an old friend, the then Col. Robert E. j Lee, Uuited States Army, now Major General in the Rebel service. He told Col. Lee of his iutentiou to resign and asked his advice. Col. j Lee advised him l y all means to abandon tliej idea, and assured him that if he did resign he j would live to see the day when he would bit- ; terly regret the step. Conviuced by his own observations of the causeless nature of the rebellion, and intluene ed by his friend's advice, onr officer did aban don the idea of resigning, and resolved to re main true to the tlag he had sworn to support. Three days afterward he heard of Col. Lee's own resignation. The one, still loyal by Rebel advice, is now a Brigadier General of United | States volunteer* and is in service, defending ; his native State against invasion ; the other. Rebel against his own convictions of right, is a Major Geueral of the Yirgiuia Provisional Army and is in service attempting to subdue the western half of his native State to the tyranny that has already eaten the vitals out of the remainder. ONE LEG MORE FOR HIS COUNTRY. — During the recent visit of Secretary Cameron to New York, a member of the Seventy ninth regiment who was in the battle of Ball Ran, and near Col Cameron when he fell, called upon the S"cretary He had been severely wounded and taken prisoner, carried to Richmond,and there -uffered an amputation of one of his legs. He came hobbling into the Secretary's room on cratches, and begged to be permitted to go to the war again, saying that lie thought that he could still be of service to the country, even on crutches Mr Cameron did not question his capacity, but told him the first preliminary was to get a mate to his remaining extremity.— The tnan said he couldn't afford that lnxury, and insisted upon the validity of crutches, Mr. Cameron then tohl him to go to a limb seller's and buy the best leg he could find and send the bill to hitn. The wounded soldier went his way rejoicing. HQf The Etna, from Liverpool and Queens town on the 13th and 14th iust.,arrived at New York on Sunday with lour days later news.— The Mux can Expedition is a topic of much iuterest just now. It is expected that a secret convention exists between France and Spain in addition to the public stipulations with En gland. Our Minister to England and one of the Rebel Commissioners have made speeches at Loudon, Mr. Adams at the Lord Mayor's Banquet, aud Yancey to the Fishmongers. It is understood that M. Fonld has accepted the position of French Minister of Finance.— lie is for vigorous retrenchment. The king of Portugal and one of his brothers have died of typhus fever, while a third of the fam ily was seriously ill. This steamer brings the speech of the Spanish Queen at the opening of the Cortes. She disposes ol the Mexican in tervention in it few words. Affairs in Aus tria, Poland, aud Turkey continue to look threatening, though no particulars of new out breaks have been made kuown. THE POLITICAL PRISONERS AT FORT WARREN. —The whole uumber of persons at Fort War ren, including garrison and prisoners, is now about twelve hundred. To feed these, four teen hundred loaves of fresh bread are eeut down daily. The men are fed 011 alternate days with fresh and salt rations. Once iu two days over fourteen hundred and fifty pounds of fresh beef are provided. The regular army rations are furnished to the garrisou and pris oners alike. The political prisoners receive their rations with the rest, but can purchase other provisions if they desire a charge.
