REBELS, ETC.
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

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.

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

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.

convention exists between France and Spain
in addition to the public stipulations with En

Banquet, aud Yancey to the Fishmongers.
It is understood that M. Fonld has accepted

TOWANDA:
Thursday Morning, November 28,1861
THE LATEST WAR NEWS.
From Washington we hav<? no stirring war
oews. It is stated, on what appears to be
good authority, that the rebels have at 188 " ,
sas several thoroughly armed and equipped
companies of negroes, and that throughout the
South they are pressed iuto the service of the
rebellion in great numbers.
From the column of Gen. Dix, which ad
vanced into Accotiac and Northampton Four*- j
ties, iu Virginia, we contiuue to have most
encouraging accounts. The troops have cap
tured three rebel officers and nine cannon, all !
in good condition. There now appears to be
no disloyalty in either county. County meet
ings are at once to be held for the purpose of
bringing that part of Virginia back to her al
legiance to tiie National Government. The
light at Cape Charles has been restored, and
mail facilities are about to be given.
The Sun Jacinto lias landed Mason, Slidell, j
and their suites at Fort Warren, and Com
mander Wilkes is receiving the honor and
hospitality of the city.
The United States gunboats Cambridge and
Hetzel went up the York River from Fortress
Monroe on Thursday evening and opened a hot
tire on the Rebel camp at Warwick, which
they completely broke up. It is supposed that
a nomper of the Rebels were killed, hut noth
ing definite is yet known.
The Richmond papers acknowledge that the
small pox, typhoid fever, and black measles are
making frightful havoc among the Rebel troops
in Kentucky.
Tbe news of the burning of Warsaw, Mo.
is confirmed. The chief part of the town is
destroyed. The work was done on the after
noon of Tuesday last. What troops we had
there, left two hours after. It was thought
that tbe fire was set by the citizens of the
place, but we are yet iu the dark as to the
motives ot the incendiaries, or the particulars
of the affair.
ENGLISH NEUTRALITY—STARTLING DEVELOPS- J
VENTS. —Mr. GEO. E. TRAIN, iu a letter to the -
7%e JVew York Herald, of Saturday, dated
from London, gives some valuable information i
regarding the extent to which "aid and com
fort" is being afforded to the rebels iu England.
The facts stated by ihe writer are to be relied
upon, as he and other loyal Americans residing
there have employed detectives to watch these
proceedings. After describing tbe contraband
cargoes of the Bermuda, the Fingall a*d the
Thomas Watson, Mr. Train proceeded to state
that several other vessels similarly loaded are
now due at the pirate rendezvous. The night
before his letter was writteu, the Gladiator,
one of the old Lisbou screw steamers, took 011
board at Erith, a few miles below London, a
full cargo of arms and munitions of war, and
was to clear next day for Toneriffe and Nas
sau. The estimated valae of the cargo is
SIIOO,OOO, and it comprises everything neces
sary for the equipment, so far as arms are
concerned, of an army of 25,000 men. The
names of ail the parties concerned in this enter
prise ure given, as well as tlio.se of ihe captain
and officers of the vessel. Mr. Train comma
uicatcd these partiulars to Capt. Marchand,
commander of the United Stastes war steamer
J. Adger, who had just arrived at Southamp
ton, and who is now on the watch for the
Gladiator,and he aiso recommends onr cruisers
to be on the lookout for her ou this side, as it
is possible she may elude his vigilance.
lie states, in addition, that the English
government have recently sold nine condeuiued
sloops of war, including the Carysfort, to a
party who has disposed of them again to the
Confederate Navy Department. Besides these
acquisitions the secessionists are iu treaty for
the Punjanb aud Assaye, two East India men
of-war of 1,800 tons and 800 horses power
each. We have here an explanation of the
departure of such a large number of rebel na
val officers on board the Nashville.
It is to beboped that greater vigilance than
heretofore will be exercised by the commanders
of our blockading force to intercept the sup
plies which are being sent in such immense
quantities to the Confederates from English
ports.
A PROPHECY FULFILLED. —The Boston Tran
script recalls the fuct that when the Union
Committee from Boston visited Washington
last January, Mr. Mason, in reply to the wish
expressed that he might again visit that citv,
said : " I shall not go to Boston agaiu except
as an ambassador." Mason's prophecy is ful
filled in away he did not expect. He goes as
aii ambassador,it is true,but as an ambassador
shorn of his plumes and the butt of ridicule,
like the jackdaw that was stripped of the pea
cock's feathers.
One other prophecy remains to be fulfilled.
Toombs proposed to " call the roll of his slaves
under the shadow of Bunker Ilill." If Captain
Wilkes, or some other equally euergetic officer,
can manage to catch Toombs and send him to
keep company with Mason and Slidell, Fort
Warren is not so far removed from Banker
Hill but that he also may fulfill his own proph
eey—calling his roll as often as he pleases,
with a very slim chance that anybody will an
swer.
Benj. Stark, Democrat, has been elect
ed I S. Senator by the legislature of Oregon,
in place 6f Col. Baker, who was killed at
Ball's Bluff.
THE DEPARTMENT REPORTS.
, A correspondent of the Xeio \otk J / Hunt
! writing froui Washington, under date of Nov.
24tii says the Reports of the Scretnries ap
proach completion. The great interest) which
j the war will give fco.that of the War Secreta
ry will be (lightened by -Mr. Cameron s distinct
avowal of his policy of placing arms in the
hands of slaves willing to use them for the 1
cause ol the Union. He will support this
by argument and historical references*, wid
so show that his leading position upon this vi
tal question has beenas deliberately as strongy
taken. As a foretaste of the administration,
hereafter, of the War Department until the
close of the rebellion, the public will learn
with interest that Mr. Cameron will appeal
to Congress, and the Governor of States an-!
tfcorized to bind" the Government, to practice
the closest economy, and wit* sternly require
economy and accountability from erery subor
dinate in ihe war bureaus aud the army the :
field. Enormous as the war is, and will be,
it will not be permitted to bankrupt either the i
Government or the people Mr. Cameron's \
Report will also probably contain recommen
dations that wilt go fur to abolish the distinc
tions between regulars and volunteers. Among
these will be the repeal of the regulation which j
confers rank upon the regular officers over the !
volunteer of the same grade, leaving it to be 1
determined by seniority according to date of
commission.
Secretary Chase's report will recommend ne
cessarily a large increase of reveuoe duties. The i
necessities of the Treasury doring the war
will require that the tariff be so shaped as to i
produce the greatest possible amount of i neome I
A large incidental protection to American mats- i
ufactures will of course be the consequence.
Upon the vital idea of the war, it is said that
Mr. Chase will fully develop the theory that
the slaves in the Rebel States should be em
ployed under wages to raise cotton, sugar, rice
and tobacco for Government account. This
policy lias already I een established by Mr
Cameron in regard to the nngathered and on
ginned Sea Island Cotton in Beaufort. The
nation will Lcartly approve its recommenda
tion by Mr. Chase to Congress as a wiser dis
position ofthe slaves tbau to leave theui in the
rear of our armies roaming at large, pillaging
aud marauding. It is a new form of emanci
