Religion and the War, It is ton much the custom for men of the world, and those entertaining liberal ideas, to sneer at religion, and make its ininistera tile subject of their scorn. Wo take it to be a sign of cowardice to scotf at cither a woman or a clergyman, for the sex of the one and the profession of the other prohibits a reply. Whatever may be said of individual cases, there is something in the clerical profession which commands our respect, and, especially, when considering the position they have as sumed in the progress of the present rebellion. Throughout live loyal States the patriotism of the clergymen lias been extraordinary) and no engine of public sentiment is more powerful and patriotic than the pulpit. Some of these appeals are among the most splendid speci mens of eloquence, and their effect will go far towards uniting the national feeling, fcld con centrating the loyal energies of our people. There is a general and a just objection in the minds of the people against ministerial in terference with politics. This objection is just, if those who make it only preserve the proper distinction. The science of partisanship—the management of party conventions—the in trigues and shame of our elections—can only' pollute jhe holy calling. But there are times when politics rises into patriotism, when the country demands of her people their utmost energy and self-denial. We manage the State to-day— to-morrow it may be necessary to save the State. In its management wc may exclude the ministers of God—in its salvation wc can exclude no one. Tilt; religious element enters largely into this war. We have regiments as rigid and orthodox as the cohorts of the Protector. In providing literature for the army, tlm various ecclesiastical societies have given a great amount of time and money. In the hospitals the hand of kindness is the hand of a religions devotee, and the agonies of the wounded and dying are soothed by a sister of the Holy Church. In maintaining the discipline of the camp the religious inUuonce is controlling, and many a fierce spirit which resists the threats and punishment of the officer in cotumaud will melt into tenderness at a simple prayer, recalling other and more innocent days. We, therefore, read of the exertions of the ministry with peculiar pleasure. Let these gontlemon go on in their good work. A man will fight better who prays to God and keeps his powder dry . The Christian soldier may be a fanatic or a bigot, but he has a sense of his responsibility and a knowledge of his duties which belong to the true soldier. Above all, lie bas the conscience of fliis fight, and in this rebellion wa want men who feel the principles at stake, and appreciite the holy cause for which they light. Foreign News. Six days’later news from Europe has been telegraphed from Portland, as brought by the Bohemian. It is to the 15t}} insti inclusive. Cotton was advancing in price; breadstuff's rather declining; and Consuls had slightly ad vanced.) The political items are few, but important. M. Achille Form, who was Lens Nafo ieon’s Minister of Finance for a short time in 1851-2, and bears a high reputation as a social and political economist, and also is founder of the Bank of Algiers, has resumed the ad ministration of Frencli finance, and his propo sal of confining the Budget within its stated grounds, and of taking away the Imperial power of raising money, on credit, when the Legislative Chambers are .not in session, hu met with N afoleon’s full concurrence. Thii is a great concession for an absolute monarch tr. —‘-''-'i. nnd will probably nssuro Europe of? bis pacific jmrposes more strongly than any verbal declaration. M. Fori.i) was born in October, 1800, and is the son of a wealthy Jew banker who died in 1855. The Emperor of Austria Jj as dissolved the Croatian Diet, willing that it reassemble upon a different, and less liberal, basis. Thomas Slixgsbt Buncombe, wlk> has long been tho Parliamentary leader of the very ad- | vanced Liberals in the British Iloise of Com- 1 mons—probably the last parliamert-man who ! held Chartist principles —is no mo*e, from j 1824 to 1832 he sat for the borougi of Hort- j ford, and, from 1834 to the presen. time, for | the metropolitan borough of Finsbur/, created j by the Reform Bill, which he wamly sup ported. An aristocrat by birth, (hi was ne- I phew of the first Lord Feversham), 1* was an ! Ultra-Liberal in polities, and, to the last, an ! honest and able representative of Ihepeopie. ! He opposed the Irish Cpercion Bill. In 1842 he presented the National petition, sijied by i 3,000,000 of the working classes, sciciting j Parliament in favor of universal suffrajE, vote ! by ballot, and a shorter duration of Parhunent. ! Two years later, he brought Sir Jamb Gra- i ham’s letter-opening knavery before farlia- ! nicnt, and compelled tho culprit to acknodedge his guilt. Mr. Dun-combe was virtual! the means of establishing Jewish emanciption, which Lord Jour Scbseu inly to \ advocate, by carrying, in 1858, his motia for j placing Baron Rothschild on a comnttee ; which was to hold a conference with the 1 Lords; since which, the doors of the ' of Commons, which had been so long osed ' against the Jews, have been thrown ope; f or ; - tlioir admission. ' Mr. Du.vcom&e, Lor. in j 1796, was one time a leader of fashion in lon- j don, hut dissipated his fortune (with the asist- I ance of Madamo Yestris), before he iad ; reached the age of thirty-five. From the hie ; of Ms pecuniary ruin, Mr. Duncombe wasan ; honest, hard-working legislator, always acis sible'to the industrial classes. No doubt tby : will give him a public funeral. j j audience forgets Forrosfc, and sees nothing but the white-haired, crazy old man.

TVe have said that in tho many accounts be fore us there is a great deal of exaggeration in relation to the distress which is so feared for Ireland. The Irish newspapers themselves are certainly not the best authorities—particu. larly when it is their interest as partisans to annoy and condemn tho Government. The anarchists and revolutionists in some of tho lower counties are evidently malting this a pretext for bringing upon the people of Ireland the woes of international war. The corres pondent of the Publin Freeman says that “ Agrarian disputes have already com menced,” and another correspondent from Kilkenny writes about “ small farmers being upon tl.c verge of bankruptcy,” and “ immi nent starvation being the fate of the people.” A more poetic journalist, not satisfied with one cause <?f distress, gravely tells his readers that “ Fever will walk on with the Famine as usual;” while other newspapers, in the radi cal interest, write about “ impending dan gers,” “ consequential horrors,” “ inevitable famines,” and recall the time when “ the young man grew old under privations, and within a short month was bowed down, almost unto the very earth, into which the fever or the famine-plague hurried the aged of his kin dred.” These radical gentlemen, who have no Inte rest in anything which looks to the peace of society and the stability of the Government, will take every occasion to impress upon tire hilnds of the people tiie fear of fever, pesti lence, and death. With them wc have no sympathy; from their conclusions our judg ment compels us to dissent. Beneath all the flimsy rhetoric and fantastical adjectives of these imaginative writers, we can easily see the existence of a serious evil for the people of Ireland. We trust that tlio-horrors Of the last famine will be evaded by the kind and pa ternal action of the British Government. That Government has now another opportunity for doing much to make Ireland a loyal and happy British province. She lost it in 1847, when ho trifled with the woes of the people simply to avenge the agitation of a few of their leading men, and the annoyance she received from the young orators and thought less revolutionist was visited upon the mass of the unoffending people. We trust that, if the fears of an agricultural failure should prove true, we may not be called upon to chronicle the heartrending scenes of the last famine. But we surely know that, in the event of such a visitation, Ireland may appeal to the sympathy of her American friends, as she ap pealed lit the day of her former trial, and re ceive as large a measure of relief as it is in the power of our people to give. Forrest’s Boston Engagement. [Correspondence of The .Press ] Boston, November 27,1861. Mr. Forrest concluded on Friday evoning last, at the Academy of Music, the most brilliant and successful engagement that he or any artiste ever acted in this city. Our citizons ara under deep obligation to Mr. James M. Nixon for the opportunity afforded them to witness the efforts of the great tragedian in a round of his most celebrated charac ters, The engagement continued through eight weeks, and the theatre was nightly crowded with intclli gent and most appreciative audiences. Ob the last night Announced as his benefit, the house, which holds over three thousand persons, was radiant with beauly and fashion, drawn to gether to do homage to the splendid genius of the greatest living tragedian. In speaking thus strong ly, the writer is not carried away by enthusiasm, nor does he permit the passion of tho moment to blind his judgment, as he does not wish to convey the idea that he believes Forrest has no faults or vicos in his style. Having had opportunity to see and study every actor of eminence, or pretension, even, to greatness, from Kdmund Keen, tho bright meteor of the Eng lish stage, to the present day, he has been taught there are none without their faults ami their pe culiarities. The greater the actor, the more pro minent and striking the idioorasy. Tho same rule may be applied to all great artistes, whether sculp tors, painters, musicians, or actors; each will have his peculiarities, as each have his imitators; but, as a general rule, the latter succeed in exag* granting the faults, and scarcely ever approach any of the beauties of the original. There never ha 3 been an actor who for so many years has held such sway over tho great public heart as has Torrost; nor has there ever been ono assailed more bitterly or unjustly. Nothing but positive genius, origi nality of thought and style, coupled with persistent Study, a —> Will, HOUld have outlived and beaten down the prejudice and ! malice with which he has had to contend. The : „ and; t>= splendid genius of Forrest will be | handed down to coming generations with renewed | brightness; and not till after his mortal body shall | be mouldering with its mother earth will the glory | of his fame reach its meridian. -As a great actor, Forrest belongs to llis Country ag : much as Webster did as a statesman. Within the ! past quarter of a century many stars have arisen ■ in tho theatrical firmament whose destiny it was j predicted would eclipse the 93x901 Of FortCSt i but i one after another has faded away, or paled in the brightness of his light, and left him monarch of the j tragic stage, in England as well as in our own J country, The outside world supports that it is no trouble for Forrest to go upon the stage to illustrate ' and give life to the creations of the great poets, ; which he has so often before made living pictures. They have no idea, of what the writer knows to be a truth, that the world is daily made subservient to the great art; and to-day Forrest is a closer student than he was twenty years ago, inasmuch as his in tellect is stronger, and has a greater grasp, enabling him to analyse more thoroughly and moro suroly' all the depths and subtleties of the art, and thereby harmonize them with nature. It is through these means that he is a better actor to day than he was five years since. AU his stage pictures retain their original boldness of conception and life-like vitality, but there is an evident im provement in the delicacy and refinement of their Coloring and shading. He seems to have fathomed the very depths of the human heart, for the pur pose of learning not only to feel, but be able to por tray clearly, distinctly, and naturally every pas sion and every Impulse -with which the Almighty has imbued the nature of man. His Lear is one of the most sublime pictures ever seen on the stage. The physique of Forrest is entirely concealed—it is ft complete metamorphose into the weak, Sick Old man, whose mind has been overthrown and shat tered by the ingratitude of his daughters, and yet he feels the pride of a King. The illustration sceiqs j like a terrible reality, as it abounds With touching I pathos, deep feeling, towering pride, and the con- j sciousness of a wrecked intellect. I From the moment Lear comes on the stage, the J be of Boston’s fairest daughters. Ur. Forrest was ably supported throughout hia epgement by Mesdames Gladstone, Farren, Amu, and Mr. J. McCullough, Mark Smith, and a Try fair dramatic company, who, report says, MNixon takes to Philadelphia to support My, Past at your Academy of Music. Judging from frawhat I saw of Mr. Nixon’s management here, heir man of tact, industry, and liberality; and, wit, thoroughly understands how to satisfy the pull. deferring to Mr. Forrest, the writer has dons bo ffcly, inasmuch as he novor asked or reoeived a itr from him, and has simply expressed an un woyA and unbiased opinion of him as an American aetwha has achieved his present proud position thrill his own industry and the force of his ge niuf which every true-hearted American has a jusfeht to feel an honest pride.

Sine© the ad-eent of 6teuerat Sherman w expedi tion upon the coast of South Carolina, extraordi nary preparations have been going on to follow up the blow then struck, and we have already recorded the departure of a portion of General Butler’s ex pedition upon a similar mission. Within a short time we shall also have to announce the departure of a formidable expedition, under General Burn side, which is rapidly gathering its materiel for a descent upon the Southern coast. The military for this expedition are now assembling at Annapo lis, wheneo it will probably take its departure, ynj there are now at that place the eight following regiments: New York Fifty-first Kogiment. New Y'ork Fifty-third Regiment. Massachusetts Twenty-third Kegiment. Massachusetts Twenty-fifth Kegiment. Massachusetts Twenty-seventh llegimcnt. Connecticut Eighth llegimcnt. Qennesticut Tenth Regiment. Pennsylvania Fifty-first Kegiment. There arc yet in camp in their respective States the following : Massachusetts Twenty-fourth Regiment. Hhotio Island Fifth Battery. The above are the only troops as yet assigned to the division of Gen. Burnside, though it is most probable that the entire force will esceed that of Gen Sherman. Following we gtVC the OtfiCOrS Of the regiments, with brief but interesting sketches of the leaders of the expedition. The Military Section. The military portion of tho expedition, under Gen. Burnside, is composed of two New York regi ments, four from Massachusetts, two from Con necticut, one from Pennsylvania, and a battery from Rhode Island. The TWtiriel of which these regi ments ara composed is of a first-rate fighting qua lity, and the officers, in many cases, are experi enced men. The regiments hare not been brigaded as yet. The following are the officers of the expedition : MILITARY COMMANDANT OP EXOPDITIOW. Acting Major General, Brigadier General Ambrose E. Burnside. Assistant Adjutant General, Captain Lewis Rich mond. Division Quartormastcr, Captain Herman Biggs. Assistant Division Quartermaster, Captain Wil liam Cutting. Acting Division Commissary, Captain E. It.

This battery will compare favorably with any which has been raised. The men are mostly from the country, are tough and muscular—most excel lent material to make a serviceable and efficient corps. A new feature is to be introduced, which has heretofore been only partially carried out in Sherman’s battery. The officers below sixth ser geant and the privates arc to be armed with re volvers instead of sabres. It bas been found that the sabre is a very inefficient weapon to use against cavalry, and it has been determined to arm with re volvers, that the artillerists may effectually defend themselves, and prove equal to meet the species of warfare which will largely bo brought against them. TR? NAVAL BRIGADE, The military forces of the expedition will be ac companied by a naval brigade, composed of sailors, who aro to man the small boats, and render valuable assistance in landing the troops, in case of attack or occupation. The brigade will b a under the command of Colonel William A. Howard. The Expeditionary Fleet Will be composed in part of the following vessels: Chasseur, Zouave, Vidette, Pioneer, Sentinel, Picket, ltanger, Guide, Recruit, Scout, Lanaor, Cossack, Skirmisher, Cadet, Hussar, Yoltiguer, Guerrilla, Highlander, Bombshell, Grenade, Rock et, Shrapnel, Grapeshot, The Expeditionary Leaders. GENERAL AMBROSE E. Bfll-VStPE. General Ambrose Everett Burnside is a native of Indiana, but has been for some time past a resident of Rhode Island. Ho is about thirty-seven years of age, and graduated from West Point in 1547, with the Tank of second lieutenant in the Second United States artillery. In September, 1847, he was transferred to the Third artillery, and was at tached to the rebel General (thon captain) Bragg’s company. In December, 1851, he was promoted to tho rank of first lieutenant, and in October, 1853, retired from the service. BRIGADIER GENERAL JOHN C. FOSTER, Brigadier General John G. Foster is an officer distinguished alike for bravery, gallantry and ex perience. He is a native of New Hampshire, and from that State was admitted as a cadet at West Point in tho year 1842. On the Ist of July, 1846, he was breveted second lieutenant of engineers, ho at that time standing fourth in his class. On the 20th of August, 1847, ho was brevetod first lieute nant for gallant and meritorious conduct in tho bat tles of Contreras and Ohurubuseo. lie was with the storming party engaged at El Molino del Roy, in which engagement he was severely wounded, and for his gallant and meritorious conduct while in this battle hewas breveted captain, his commission bearing date September S, 1847. He WAS assistant Professor of Engineering at tho Military Academy during 1854, and in April of that year was made a full'first lieutenant of engineers. On the Ist of July, 1860, he was made a Bill captain, at the same time holding a brevet higher rank. He was also one of the brave few who so long and so gallantly defended Fort Sumpter against the rebel soldiory of South Carolina. COLONEL WILLIAM A. HOWARD Colonel William A. Howard, commander of tho naval brigade attached to Genera! Burnside’s di vision, is a person of groat experience, having been, for many years, attached to both tho navy and the revenue service of the United States. He was in the navy as a midshipman while yet quite young, and, by his industry and off-hand manner, won tho OBtoem of all his Comrades. For some reason he left tho service and entered that of the revenue marine, in whioh ho continued for some time. During the Mexican war he was engaged in the conflict, and acquitted himself nobly, adding fresh laurels to (toolie had already won. Ho was also engaged in the merchant service. After being for some years out of tho service, ho again re turned to it, and, before the present expedition, stood in the rank of captain in the revenue ma rine. COMMANDEII SAMUEL F. BAEAnB, 0 S. N. Commander Samuel F. Hazard is a native of Rhode Island, from which State he received his appointment in the United States navy. His first entry into the servioe was in January, 1823. He TWO CENTS. has spent over nineteen yeairs on sea, eleven years on shore duty, and was about eight years unon‘>- ployed. His entire service is a little moro than thirty weight years. He was last at sea in dune, J 855. fie has had command of the United States steamship Pocahontas, and, before taking his pre sent position, was commanding the naval ren dezvous at Boston. THE WAR IN MISSOURI. Gen* Price’s* Movements The St. Louis Republican says ; Passengers from Sedalia represent, upon informa tion received there from tho southwest, that a por tion cf Gen, Frico’s army ha* advanced to the Osaga river and taken possession of the town of Osceola, llow many of tho Secession General’s forces have been thus moved northward is not stated, but wo presume that the number is not large, and that lit tle danger ia to be approhandod. of any immediate attack upon the Union linos. An army that has been frightened almost out of its wits from fear of being assailed is not likely so soon to assume the of fensive. An advnnoo by General Psise, after ih e evacua tion of Springfield by General Hunter, was to bavo been expected. The policy of. General P. U evi dently to occupy aa- much as practicable of the State, whilst taking care to- keep out of danger. This policy ia founded in the. of spreading his command over a good deal of territory, in order to procure the required supplies of forage, timber, water, Ac., and partly in the desire to make the Federal officers believe he design Attacking thoif positions, so as to prevent, if pontolo, the sending of men to other fields. Assuming that the news coming from Sedalia is true, the movement of General Price northward is doubtless made in view of the reports that tho main body of the Federal army, now in Missouri, is about to bo transferred to Cairo, there to join m the projected expedition dowu the Mississippi river. Ho imagines that his approach towards the centre of the State will so alarm tho United Staten generals that will not daro to move their men, but will keep them here to repel his supposed attack. We do not understand that it has ever been the intention to leave Missouri open to the unresisted assaults of the ciiDfling Genural Pricth Standing on the defensive, there are enough troops here to bold all the important strategic points and still spare several thousands for duty in Kentucky and on the river. Nevertheless, we doubt if it would be good policy (o aj|?w the Confederate soldiers to be too bold in their marches and countermarches, or to advance much further than the Osage in the direction of Jefferson City and the Missouri river. The rebel army had better he extremely careful or it will get whipped almost before U knows It, THE WAR IN KENTUCKY. Ceueral Nelson 4 .** Brigade, The Louisville Democrat snyg: The licet from Eastern Kentucky arrived Sunday night and Mon day morning, containing the Ohio division of Gen. NlflSOll'S brigade. Tbs fleet consisted of Was Jacob Strader, JMose.s- McTseilan, llocl'ct s ftostiniy and Dontona No. 2, the Strader arriving about eleven o’clock at night, the.others coming in afterwards till two or three yesterday morning. As we expected, the Kentucky regiments were not included in this movement. Col. Labe Monro’s regiment has gone into camp at Louisa, on the Big Sandy river, about twenty-five miles above Catlettsburg. Cols. Marshall and Metcalfe removed thoir pegimonts lea since, and are at Comp Kenton, bock of Maysvillc The regiments arriving on this fleet are, the Second, Nineteenth,Twenty-first, Thirty-third, and Fifty-ninth Ohio, and are composed of bold, Jiar&f Bieb. who show signs of service j and from all WC CttU learn, that service in Eastern Kentucky was no child’s piny. From the time they left Camp Ken ton, to go Eastward, till they embarked on the fleet, they have not had two consccutiye dw’ rest, but have been constantly on the move, and that not by rail or wagon, but on foot, and much of the time in forced marches. For the labor they have gone through, and the long forced marches, the hurried bivowackiDgj without opportunity to pitoh'their tents; often in adranco of their stores, and forced to sleep on the ground ; many of them not, as yet, provided with overcoats nor blankets —through rain and mud, over roads frequently knee deeg ia miry clay—notwithstanding those privations and what, to raw recruits as they all were, proved real hard ships, the men look well and seem in excellent spirits. Out of the entire brigade, we learn there were between two and three hundred left at Cat- Httsburg, unable to come on* and of that number not more than half a dozen are really sick, the ba lance being completely overdone. The actual sick ness is only,one caso of measles, two of typhoid fever, and two or three of chills. The balance re quire only rest. Humors A Union Man Returns from Buckner's Army, where he had been Prisoner—The Forces at Bowling Green. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette j writing from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, under date of November 23, say 3 : There were rumors here of an advance move ment from Nolin this morning—Wood’s and Ros -96f1U.‘3 bflgfidftS having been reported as marching <m toward -cb-ofclc. . A Union who had been persecuted by the Secessionists dM taken to Buckner,, at Bowling Green, returned to this neighborhood, aDd left to rcroft to headquarters this afternoon. He states that, on Thursday, a force of rebels had left Bowling Green for Bacon creek, - and that he saw. Secession scouts (cavalry) within five or six miles of Nolin. He further states that the forces at Boirliog Green amount to about £jo,ooo men, most of Tennessee troops, and that, on Monday last, an Arkansas re giment arrived from Columbus, Kentucky, who stated that they succeeded in cleaning out the Federais at Belmont, on the Mississippi, taking many of them prisoners and killing and wounding over 1,000. Arms were arriving daily from Mem phis, and a few loads of provisions had come to camp. No salt could be had for love or money, and only ono s or two regimtaU were decently clothed, the majority of the troops being without overcoats, their clothing being badly worn. The men were dissatisfied at their treatment, and many of them were anxious to be led to battle. Bowlino- Green was well fortified, and it was his opinloh that the rebels would make a stand there, and that n column would be moved forward to tempt our forces onward. There was much sickness among the rebels, and there were several hundred siefi with measles and typhoid level 1 , over these hun dred having been sent, last week, to the general hospital at Nashville- Genera! Bishop Polk was expected this week from Columbus with a division, and great rejoicing was the consequence It was the opinion of the esoaped man that the rebels would draw US onward to Bowling Green, show fight, and then retreat to join Zollicoffer. The First and Fifteenth Ohio Regiments, with Cotter’; Light Artillery, are at General McCook’s headquarters, beyOHtl flolifl, General MoCook is very popular among all the brigades, especially among the Ohio troops. Negly’s brigade of Penn sylvanians are encamped near the depot, and the Eighteenth Ohio is at Elizabethtown, AFFAIRS AT CAIRO. A correspondent of the St, hanis Republican, writing from Cairo, Illinois, under date of Novem. her 22, says : H e continue in nearly a quiescenl condition in this locality,-but undoubtedly events qf farportance are ahead. .The preparations for the immense flo tilla, which is to op#n up the Mississippi and re-es tablish trade and commerce between the great West and the Gulf, arc progressing surely and with a fair degree of rapidity; while the reports we hear, and which aye doubtleea true, of large bodies of troops being on their way to concentrate hero, argue that a bloie will be struck before tong which will be of great benefit to the Union, and of especial ad vantage to the Northwest, which has suffered so severely by the closing of its great outlet. The objects of this expected expedition appear to he well understood in the South, and the rebel journals at Memphis and other points loudly call upon the people to prepare to defend their homes and pro perty. With Washington safe, an immense Federal fleet dealing heavy blows along the coact, the In vaders driven out of tho loyal portion of Kentucky and scattered, Missouri protected by her own citi zens, and an overwhelming mass of brave and sturdy Western troops at liberty to start down the river in connection with a powerful inland rebels may Well tremble , 'for their safety, and fear tho re tribution which certainly awaits them. The Maria Denning has been put in the ser vice as a “ receiving ship" at this point, and is an chored in the stream. She has on board the five hnmhtJ smUrs who recently arrived from the East, and retains the gunboat armament and the stores of ammunition which sho brought from St. Louis. The gunboats Lexington and Tylor went down the river this morning, on a reconnoitring expedi tion. At Bird’s Point, Fort Holt, and Paducah all is quiet. None of the enemy are anvwhcre in tho vicinity, and there is little to note beyond tho usual routine of camp life. A number of comfortablo log houses bSIVO been erected for winter quarters at Camp Holt, and fine barracks aro being built for the troops at Camp McClcrnand. The gunboats Tylor ami. Lexington returned in the afternoon, from their little expedition down tha river. They went *t within sight" of the Columbus batteries, and the Lexington threw throe shot or shell at them, and the Tylor four, all of which fell short. The batteries at Columbus did not seem to think it worth while to reply, and the boats re turned to Cairo, The rebels have felled a large portion of the forest opposite Columbus, and aro still engaged in that business. We have no further interest in Bel mont at present, but it would not be advisablo for Gen. Polk to put any more troops there at present, ov fbr Jeff Thompson to encamp in that neighbor hood. LATER FROM THE SOUTH- Great Alarm in Memphis—The Bridge Burning in Tennessee. [From tho Knoxville Register, Nov. 12.] The deep-laid scheme to destroy the railroads in East Tennessee, on Friday night last, by an Organi zation of LiiKtoluite traitors, extending from Bristol to the Georgia lino, resulted in tho burning of the following bridges: The bridge over the Hiawassee river at Charles ton, on the East Tennessee and' Georgia Railroad. Tho bridge over Lick Creek, on the East Tennes see and Virginia Railroad. The bridgo over the Holston river at Union, on tho East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad. Two small bridges'on Chickamauga crook, on tho Western and Atlantic Rnilroad. The telegraph wires were out at various places between Knoxville and Chattanooga, and Knox ville and Bristol. No attempt seems to have been made upon the bridge nt London, that being well guarded by a cavalry company. The unsuccessful attempt to hum the bridge at Stawberry Plains and its preservation by the courageous conduct of the watchman was alluded to in our last issue. We learn that his name is John Keclan, and are glad to hoar from parsons THE WAR PRESS.

Another man was also wounded by Mr. Keelan, whose fidelity and courage, as well aa the injuries he has suffered, have gained him the admiration and sympathy of the whole country. The Lick Greek bridge uros guarded by several soldiers attached to Captain McLinn’s company, encamped near Midway. They were approached b£ a gang.of raffinns, who first engaged them in friendly conversation) and then suddenly over powered thorn, and executed their hellish incen diarism. They carried the captured sentinels, wo are told, to a house at some distance, and after forcing them to>t»ke an oath to support tho Lincoln Government, released them. They hurried to their camp and gave each informatUh its led to the im mediate arrest of six ot the incendiaries, who were yes a} brought to this city, and safely lodged in jail. Wo learn that they have made confessions which will probably lead to tho capture of all enga ged in this o.xtensive conspiracy. This diabolical plot does not soem to have been participated in by the great body of the East Tea nessec Union men, but seems to have been confined to a number of desperate and reckless traitors, who confidently believed that kefora th&y could be brought to justice, the Lincoln forces from Ken tucky would have forced their way through the mountains to their resoue. They have again ex perienced how little dependence is to to placed wpen the fouste and promises of Maynard and John* son. The cowards who were reported to be approach ing Jamestown and Big Creek Gap have retreated back into Kentucky, to euape from Hardsa and his bravo forces, leaving their duped and misguided colaborcrs here to their fate. There la no earthly probability that any of Lincoln's troops will ever be able to force their way into East Ten ncssGOi and all mah attempts as the l&U Incendiary ono must only result in bringing a terrible retribution upon the heads of the foolish depredators. News having been received of the bridge burn ing at Jacksonborough, Col. Powell’s regiment was immediately ordered by Gen, Zollioolfar to thi* place, and arrived tore yesterday morning. Seve ral companies of this regiment will start this morn ing for various points along the road. It is rumored that largo numbers of Union men are arming and Blustering in Blount and Saviar counties, for tho purposo of protecting the incendi aries who attempted to fire the Strawberry Plains bridge, all of whom, numbering some sixteen, were from Sevier county.- FrOin ft latter to tli& Qorekher>t Uotrf •:<)■€rz ClJi dati'd the 11th, at Pvinggold, Ga., wc learn that tho two bridges burned on tho Warren and Atlantic Railroad, across tho Chicknmauga, arc about eight miles from the Chattanooga, Ami about half a mile apart, The Ease Tennessee and Georgia Kailroad crosses the stream between them, and about ono hundred and fifty yards below the upper ono. Col. John D. Gray, who built them, estimates their cost at abeva Si y, 0(10. Major Howland, the superin tendent, was at the place of disaster with a largo force, on the 10th, and will have good, substantial trestle bridges made, and the trains running regu larly in about two weeks. Ho has a number of tho very best mechanics in tho country actively en gaged, together with a large fores of laborers. Ar rangements are made with the East Tennessee and Georgia Kailroad to carry tho freight, mail, and passengers by the way of Cleveland and Chatta nooga, ar.d !n two or three days the pusccugcr trains will run regularly on the State road. Amount of Damage Done. The damage to tho railroads in East Tennessee by tlic incemliarkm rif last week, is estimated at SfiO,- 000. Tho bridge burnt on the Western and Atlantic Road was between five and six hundred feet; what its estimated cost was wc have not learned. The loss on all the roads, however, from tho destruction of property, is trifling compared with that resulting from the interruption of the transportation. We are requested to say that troops, passengers, and army supplies, intended for ltast Tennessee, as far cast as this point, mill meet with no flay 7 si consequence of the turning of the TliawaSSCC bridge, on the Hast Tennessee arid Georgia Rail road. Other Insurrectionary Demonstrations. In an extra issued on November IS, the Mem phis Avalanche soys: A most reliable gentleman, from East Tennessee, arrived here this morning, and reportsthat Chicka mauga creek, the Charleston Lick creek, and Up per IloUten bridges were burned at precisely one o’clock on Friday night. Other bridges were fired at the same time, but were extinguished. The telegraphic wires were destroyed at the same time. Han Trewitt is at home leading tho insurrection. Hon.

Colonel Croghan The heeling Intelligencer says • The death af Colonel Croghnu, who was killed by Gen. Benham’e command, in the retreat of Floyd from Kanawha, is no small loss to the rebels. He was an excellent officer, a noble-looking man, and formerly in the regular service, a graduate of West Point, and a classmate of General Denham. He was a son of General Croghan, the defender of Fort Stephenson, and was formerly quite wealthy, once owning the Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky. On his death-bed he Confessed that he had received only what he de served — that he was wrong —and asked the sur geon to pray for him. He refused to allow any medical assistance, probably well aware his time was come. The meeting and recognition between him and General Denham was painful to witness. Said the General: “My God, Croghan! Is this you?’’ “ Yes,” said the dying man, “ but for God’s sake, Benham, do not reproach me —l inow now I was in the wrong. 1 ’ Hearing the cannonading, he remarked : “ General, you can do me no good, and you are needed over there, are you not?” Genera!

Last week a flag of truce was borne into our lines on the Upper Potomac, from the enemy’s forces at Leesburg, conveying a communication from General Beauregard, in wfeicil hi states that, having seen ia the Northern papers a discussion in reference t* certain orders alleged to have been given by Gene ral Stone to Colonel Baker, he felt it his duty to a brave soldier to transmit certified copies of tho orders which had been found on the battu field, and were in his possession. The orders transmitted were copies of those reported by General Stone to General McClellan as those which were given to Colonel Baker. This communication from General Beauregard was accompanied by a request totally incommensurate to the service rendered by tho transmission of the orders, and which was not granted. Speech of Lieut, Fairfax | We published yesterday the speech of Captain ; Wilkes at tho banquet in Boston, and give below ; the remarks of Lieut. Fairfax on the same occasion : i Lieut. D. McN. Fairfax being thus called gp, was received With three cheers. He said: Although to-night in Massachusetts, I am at heart in Vur finia lam in the navy of tho United States, and ave taken the oath of allegiance to the .Govern ment of the United States. When this difficulty was presented, I was on the eoaat of Africa, when I could not participate or enter quite into the merits of the ease. A Southern man, I felt that I would give all that was in my means to stay the strife. I looked around, and as I thought this question was to disturb the pence of the groat Republic which has given liberty to every person on its soil, I asked myself how I could identity myself with my State in withdrawing from the United States, and I could find nothing hut tho United States Government to give my allegiance to. [Chcers.J Speaking from that text. I readily arrived at the result, that I had oniy one duty to perform, and that was to the Go vernment of the United States, which for twenty four years I have been a subordinate under. [Cheers.] And when I approached my native Shores and saw the exhibition of feeling among these who would like to see our nation made secondary among the nations of the earth, those who style themselves Americans readily turn their attention to these two great Powers on the Continent, France and England—and it seems a pitiful thing to those who would sgo do Eurupoanjrule on ouf Soil, that they should now be encouraged to gain a foothold. Captain Wilkes put me forward in a position which has induced the kind expression of feeling toward me ; but I take very little credit upon my self for having done anything to cause it. The ar fCStlDg of my old friend, Mr. Mason, whose family and my own bad long been intimate, was by no means an agreeable duty to perform. Tho arrest was made more formidable by the opposition of several ladies, and Mr. Slidell particularly declined to go unless more force was used than had 8t that moment been brought to bear. The courtesies of the San Jacinto were tendered to the families of the ambassadors, but were declined. Everything was conducted in a proper manner, the story of a bayonet charge by marines being entirely unfound ed. Mr. Mason was ifturt&HU in his manner, but Mr . Slidell has rather more crustiness in his dispo sition. Everything was done for their comfort on board, ar.d at parting Mr. Mason expressed great gratitude for his kind treatment. I feel the full force of your kind reception of me, but take no credit to thyself at all. Gapt. Wilkes alcne devised the capture, only informing uio of his plan after he had made his decision. Lieutenant Fairfax concluded by recurring to a period when he attended school m the neighbor hood of Boston, and expressing his pleasure at la vishing Massachusetts, and especially at recalling tho days when Massachusetts and Virginia men were companions-in-arms and at the social hoard. Startling Developments. A Special despatch to the Now York Herald says: Tho President and Cabinet were startled on Saturday afternoon last by the arrival of a dis tinguished military officer, of the United States army, from Fortress Monroe, with papers that had been seized (where, or by who®, I pBM)Ot 8»j). These papers were spread befaro the President and bis ministerial advisers for examination, and, to their astonishment, proved to. bo communication; from robels in the South, forwarded by British Con sular agents, in tho principal- oitios of tho South, to lord Lyons, who, in hte official oapaeity, it ap peared, had forwarded tho rebel documents on their way to England. How they foil into tho hands of our officers is more than I can tell at pre sent. That the President and Cabinet were a good deal excited about the development made |by the obtaining of the papers, there is no doubt; lb is possible that Lord Lyons will bo able to explain the matter satisfactorily to our Government, and thus extricate himself from the suspicion that now rests upon him of collusion with those who are id (Continued on- Fourth Page. l
