The Greensburg Ireitocrai gives the follow
iniaciount •
"From the evidenee produced before the In
quest. it appears that the deceased' and two
_other girls, named Itodebaugh, were on their
Way to • a singing sebool;, at Ludwick,. and
that, when a short distande this side of the
Tunnel, they beard the approach of the Ex
press train bound east; and a freight train
bound: welt. One_ of the : fiodsbaugh 'girls
called:the attention of the. Others -to .the fact
that a train was approaching them from each
direistion, and remarked that they hid better
leave the .road. "Deceased replied that the
freight train would pass them before the Xi
press came up, and that then they could get
on the-other track in tine to avoid the Bx
—rem r. but just as the freight was - pulsing
them, at theehort curve on this Side of .the
Tunnel,: the Expense mule: thundering down
upon them, .nnd escipe• for Mary Mc.:

ment. , ) . • _ -
Several days ago we noticed a Current tu
mor, that Colonel Scott had made arrange
ments for the transfer of a large number of
troops from Washington to Kentucky, by way
of this city.: The Washington correspondent
of the World, under date of the 10th inst, tel
graphs as follows :
__f`.The city is again filled with rumors pre
dicting all manner of forward movements in
every direction. It is known that CoL.Thcis.
A: Scott, Assistant - Bicretary of War, has been
in Indiana and Ohio to make arrangements
for the use and occupancy of the rolling stock
of the Cleveland, Coltuobni and Cincinnati
Railroad - Company, as well as other companies
connecting therewith, for the period of six con
sedative days, but when to commence is not
stated. Orders have also , been issued from the
War Department forbidding army officers to
go home on furlough. Tho inference of
tonne, is that there is to be an impor tant
movement of a very beige body of troops: In
what direction of course , not known, but it
is surmised that the. object is to add to Oen
- Buell's force.: The recent law . of Congress,
authoriiing the government to' take posses
sion of railreads and the rolling stock, will, in
this movement, for the ark time be pat in op
eration."'
The same dispatch contains the following
"It is also rumored that important news
may soon be expected from Gen. Lander's
division. lie has taken Romney, but evi
dently has no intention of staying there.. It
is believed his force is now in the neighbor
hood of Winchester. This may mean a flank
movement on hianassai,. but the prevalent
impression is that it simply relates to the
opening of the Baltithore and Ohio road; A
large body of our troops are, to be „throWn
across the upper Potomac to participate in
this movement, and, once across, it is very
doubtful whether they will have occasion to
return. In the high country of the upper
Potomac I learn that dry winds have pre
vailed, and that the ground is now in a pail-
Alen to bear heaVY artillery."
How the Piloti of the : Essex were
Rifled.
The eorreepondent of the St. Louis Dem
ocrat gives a most satisfactory account of the
minuet in which Messrs. Ford and .bicElride,
the pilot, of the gunboat Essex, were scalded
to death. After describing the part which
the Essex had taken in the .engagement,,up
to thelnoment when a ball came bluing im
mediately over the forward port gun, he says:
"This terrible messenger of death Sew along
the ship, through' , the. bulkheads which were
to protect the machinery of ' the boat, and
crashed into the middle boiler. Immediately,
with a rushingsound,the scalding steam filled
every part of the vessel. The two pilots, who
were standingnobly at their work, so absorbed,
as it seemed, in their duties that they had ne
glected to close the trap door whichlcads from
below to their house, were enveloped by the
blistering vapor and almost immediately
scalded to death.- They made a desperate
struggle to get outer the pilot house, running
their arms through the look-out holes which
were not large enough to pass their bodies.
and vainly striving to get their heads through
for fresh air. The tars who had stood so gal-
Imitly to their grate, were appalled at this
new and terrible, enemy, and many of them
'were seen- to throw themselves out of the port
holes into the river."

Yn view 'of the heavy rate levied the present

The balance in the . treasury, applicable
alone to the support or the poor for the cur

the present -year. of one mill on the dollar
would produce about $13,000, which would be
ample for • all legitimate purposes, as I have
.been informed by one of the Board of poor
Directors himself, that theexpense for the sup-'
port °LAe poor is about $l,OOO per month.

THE LAT.EST NEWS

THE ROANOKE ISLAND VICTORY!
THE RULED AHD -WOUNDED
3000 Rebels Taken Prisoners!
ELIZABETH CITY TUNED!
THE TOWN EVACUATED BY THE ENEMY.
AID 1.41. CE OF OUR .4R.1111*.
Great Excitement Among the Rebels
&c., ite
Foarezes Moneoz, Feb. 11.—By flag of
truce to-day, we have complete accounts of
the success of Burnside at Roanoke Island.
The Island was taken possession of and Com
motor° Lynch's fleet completely destroyed.
Elizabeth City was attacked on Sunday and
'evacuated by the inhabitants. It was previ
ously burned, whether by our shells or by the
inhabitants is not certain.
The first news of the defeat arrived at Nor
folk on Sunday afternoon, and caused great
excitement. The previous news was very sat
isfactory, stating that the Yankees bad been
allowed to advance for the purpose of drawing
them into a trap.
The rebel force on the Island is supposed to
have been only a little over three thousand
efficient fighting men.
General Wise was ill, at Nag's Head, and
was not present during the engagement.
When the situation became dangerous he was
removed to Norfolk._
All the rebel gunboats bat one were taken,
and that one escaped lap the creek and was
probably also destroyed.
One .report at Norte* says only seventy
and another only two hunted men escaped
from - Roanoke Island.
Gen. Huger telegraphed to Richmond that
only fifty on the Island escaped. There ap
pears to be no bright side to the story for the
rebels.
The Richmond gvutaiaer says, this morn
ing, in a leading editorial, that the loss of the
entire army on Roanoke, Island Is certainly
the most painful event of the war. The Intel
ligence of - the- telegraph is fully confirmed.
Two thousand five hundred brave troops on
the Island and sea were exposed to all the
forco of Burnside'a Beet They resisted with
Courage, but when' 15,010 Men were 'landed
against them, retreat being cut off by the sur
rounding elements, they were forced to sur
render. This le a repetition of Hatteras on a
larger scale.
The following are dispatches on the subject
in the Richmond papers of this morning:
Norfolk, Feb. 10.—The latest news states
that Capt. 0. Jonning Wise, eon of Gov. Wise,
wad shot through the hip and disabled, though
his wound was not mortal. Major Lawson
and Lieut. Miller were mortally wounded.
About 300 Confederates were killed, and over
1,000 Wounded. The number ;if Yissikeeit
wounded is scout the same. Midshipman
Camm had his arm sbot off. The other calm
attics are unimportant.
A late arrival this morning says that Elisa
beth City had been sbelled and bu}ned by the
Yankees, and that the Olen ? ) , was pushing on
through to Edenton.
&coed Dispatch—Norfolk, Feb. 10.—A ru
mor has prevailed that Commodore Lynch's
fleet of gunboats had been captured. It is
not regarded true, but it is believed that, all
were burned by confederates to prevent their
capture with the exception of one, which was
endeavoring to make ite escape.
The fleet went to Elisabeth City, from Roa
noke Island,' and was probably burnt at .the
former point. 1
Third Disixttch—Yorfilk, Feb. ILL—R.:sic
ed is Richmond at, er;delighl: A courier ar
rived here this afternoon at four o'clock, and
brought intelligence that Elisabeth City was
burned by the inhabitants. During the con
flagration the federate landed a large biros.
All our gunboats excepting one captured by
the enemy. General Wire has not yet arrived
at Norfolk.
The following is the very latest. We copy
from to-day's Day Book. A courier arrived
here yesterday afternoon,Wbout three o'clock,
from whom we gather the following informa
tion:
The enemy advanced in full force upon
Elizabeth City yesterday about seven o'clock,
and began an attack upon that place. The
citizens finding resistance in vain, evacuated
the place, but before doing so they set fire to
the town, and when our informant left it was
still in tames.
We have alio to record the. capture by the
enemy of all our little fleet, except the Fanny
or Forest, our informant tenet certain which.
Thin eluded the. enemy, and made up the
Pasquatuank river. She . . was pursued, how
ever; and • fears are entertained that Rho, ton,
was captured.
It is said diet before our 'Voisin surrendered
they were abandoned, and .that-the crewe enc.
ceeded In making their escape. If so, we are
hi a foes to conjecture why they irerat noefircd
before they were abandoned.
The disaster to our little tleei is attributed
to the faet4hati having exhausted their siap
ply of coal and ammunition they proceeded
to Elimbeth'City for the purpose of obtaining
*supply. Every effort WAS made to obtain coal,
but without success, and they returned to the
Island to lend any substance whatever to our
MI the details 'as published, with reference
to the Capture of, Roanoke ;Island, are Con
firmed by a courier, who represents our loss
at 800 killed and wounded, and -that of the
enmity at net-less' than 1000 killed. • Great
hives: was made among them while coming up
the road leading .to the, fort. — Oar forces

Ctactsyravt, Feb. 12.—Special dispatches
to the Gazfita and Commercial, dated Fort
Henry, Feb: 10th, give the following account
of the expedition up the Tennessee river :
After the capture of Fort Henry, the Lex
ington, Conestoga and Tyler gun boats gave
chase to the yebel steame Dunbar; on reach
ing the Memphis and L inville bridge, our
boats set fire to a portlo of it, took a quan
tity of stored, .ko., and sed on In chase . of
the Durthar,;but did not overtake her. lila
supposed that else escaped by running up some
creek daring the night. The gunboats went
to Florence, , Ala„ at the head of navigation,
250 miles from Paducah. Everywhere along
the river they were received with astonishing
welcome by the numerous Union families in
Southern Tennessee and North Alabama, and
at the towns
along the river, the old flag was
looked upon as a Redeemer, and bailed with
shouts of joy.
Capt. Elwin, of Tyler county, recruited
thirty men for service on the gunboats, and
says he can get enough to man the whole
fleet.
The people of Florence are so delighted at
finding the stare and stripes once more under
their protection, that they prepared to give a
ball to the officers of the gunboats, bat they
could not remain to accept their courtesies.
Where ever our boats landed, and the people
became assured that wo did not come to de
stroy but to save, they seemed ; to have no
means too extravagant to express their de
light and joy.
Our boats captured four steamers, including
an unfinished gunboat, and barred seven
others. They captured a largo quantity of
stores, and,a hundred and eighty stand of
arms. One boat goes up the river this morn
ing.
The weather is improving. Road. drying.
The Cometrcial nays our army in Central
Kentucky is. in motion. Gen. Nelson's di-.
vision is marching along the Glasgow turn
pike. Gen. Mitchell's division crossed Green
River on Monday morning, taking the ad-
Vance of the main column to Bowling Green.
Sr. Loots, Feb. 12.—A special 'dispatch to
•the Republican, defied Fort Henry, Feb. 11,
says the gunboats Conestoga, Tyler and Lex
ington returned from up the Tennessee last
night. The boats went as far a Florence,
Alabama, and were received with the wildest
joy by the people along the river. , Old men
cried like children at the sight. of the Stars
and Stripes, invited officers and men to their
houses and told them all they had was at their
disposal. Large numbers were anxious to
enlist under . the old flag, and the Tyler
brought down two hundred and fifty to fill up
the gunboats' crews. Our officers 'were as
sured that they would wait a few days,
whole regiments could be raised, and if the
government would' give them arms to defend
themselves they could bring Tennessee back
to the Union in a few months. They said
that when the secession ordinance was passed
armed men stood at the polls, and everything
went as certain politicians said.
At Savannah, Eastport and Florence officers
and men of our boats went ashore without
arms, and mingled freely with the people.
The Union men along the river comprise the
wealthiest and beet portion of the inhabitants,
large numbers of whom have the American
flag. Not a gun was fired either going or
aiming. '
The rebel , gunboats Easport, Sallie Ward
and Muscle, only partially finished, were cap.
tured, and are here. The Eastport had 260,-
000 feet of lumber on board, and the Sallie
Ward had a quantity of iron plating.
Tho steamers Sam Kirkman, Linn Boyd,
Julia Smith, Sam Orr Appleton and Belle
were burned by the rebels to prevent them
from falling into our hands.
. The railroad bridge at FlorenctOrmi not de
stroyed.
A quantity of papers was captured on the
Eastport belonging to Lieut. Brown, late of
the Federal Navy. Among them were letters
from Lieut. Maury stating that submarine
batteries could not be successfully used in the
rapid streams of the west.
One hundred and fifty hogsheads of tobacco
and a quantity of other freight will be brought
down from the month of Sandy river tomor
row.
A daily line of paokets has bean established
between Forty Henry and Cairo.
Nothing during the war has been so pros
trating to the' rebels as the late victory of the.
gunboat expedition mentioned above.

Nouns—Mr. Hickmau, of Pa., from the com
mittee on Judiciary, offered a preamble, setting
forth that Maori Wyktiff having transmitted
a portion of the President's last annual mes
sage, for publication in the New York Herald
before it was laid before Congressiand having
refined to state before the Committee from
whom be received it, therefore,
Resolved, That theSergoant-at-Arms bring
the said Wykoff before the bar of the Howie,
to answer for contempt.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Sedgwick, N. T., obtained the consent
of the House,.to read the dispatch frdin Lieu
tenant Commanding Phillips, to flag officer
Foote, concerning the latter's entirely success
ful expedition to Florence, etc., and also the
intelligence from Roanoke Island. This is
exactly the gime news as was to-day tele=
graphed by the agents of the Associated Press.
Mach joy was manifested all over the hall,
and there was an attempt to applaud, which
was promptly suppressed as not in accordance
with the dignity of the House.
The House acted on the Senate's amend
ments to the civil and miscellaneous appropri
ation bill.
The Committee on Ways and Wang had
recommended disagreements to the Senate's
amendment appropriating $6,800 for painting
and papering the White House.
A debate occurred on the question, during
which it was said that the amount exceeded
the sum heretofore appropriated for refitting:
Mr. Kellogg, of Illtnoisi said the discussion
was in the character of .a mutual admiration
of society to-day. The Secretary of the
Treasury had been both soundly abused and
beautifully admired. Gentlemen had been
anxious to sound his praise and become com
petitors for the championship of his fame, and
yet others voted to stab him, by their Votes
in refusing to provide for settling the accounts
for the treasury notes already printed. Gen
tlemen now seem to be anxious to be leaders
of the administration and champions of the
President's fame, and yet they cause 'mini
lens paragraphs to be read, and then vote
to stab the President. God grant that he
(Mr. Kellogg) might never have each friends.
The Senate amendment was then, agreed to.
All the other amendments were acted upon.
At this point the Sergeant-at-Arms appear
ed, having in custody Henry Wykoff, whom
the House to-day ordered to be arrested for
contempt. The prisoner was brought... Wore
the bar of the House at the instance of Mr.
Hickman.
The Speaker then informed Mr. Wykoff that
he had been arrested by order of. the House,
charged with contempt of its authority, in re
fusing to answer a question propounded by
the Judiciary Committee, and asked him what
ho had to say.
Mr. Wykoff hoped not to be considered
wanting in respect either to the House or to
the Committee, but the information which the
Committee demanded was received- by him
under an obligation of secrecy, which he felt
bound to respect. •
Mr. Stevens, of Pa., suggested that the an
swer bexeduce d to writing.-
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, remarked, "and
also the interrogatory."
Mr. Cox, of Ohio, moved the postponement
'of the case, in order that the prisoner might
have an opportunity till to-morrow to reflect.
Mr. Hickman said the Witness had declined
to answer the interrogatory proposeu, on the
ground that certain information was.commu
nicited to him under a pledge of secrecy.
There could scarcely be any necessity for the
House to delay action for a day in order to
enable the person in contempt to put his an
swer in writing, therefore, he was opposed to
his colleague's, Mr. Stevens, motion, because
there was no necessity fur it. This was an
extraordinary case. The witness testified that
he received information of the contents, or a
portion of the contents of the President's an
nual message prior to its delivery to Congress,
and caused it to be communicated through the
telegraph, to the New York Herald, but 'when
he was asked by the Committee on the Judi
ciary, who were appointed to inquire into the
censorship of the press, how he obtained the
information, he declined to ansigi, by, saying
he had received it tinder the pledge of secrecy.
The Committee believe that no witness hes a
tight to withhold so important s fact tinder
such a pledge.
The answer to the question propliunded by
the Speaker to Mr. Wykoff, as furnished from
the reporters notes, was read to hiM, which he
pronounced correct.
Mr. Hickman offered the following :.
W etness, Henry Wikoff, a witness suprened
to appear and testify before the Committee on
the Judiciary, in the matter of the investiga
tion by said Committee into the alleged tele
graphic censorship of press, and refacing
to answer certain questions propounded to
him in his examination upon being beetight
before the House, has, failed to satiety, the
House of the propriety of 'his refusal ; there
fore, bo it
Resolved, That the said Henry' Wikoff, by.
reason of the premises, is in contempt of the
House, and that the Sergeant-at-Arms he di
rected to hold the said:Henry.Wikoff in close
custody until he shall purge himself of `said
contempt, or until discharged lir order . or the
House.
Mr. Divan, of New York, as a member of
the Judiciary Committee, wished to say a few
words, but Mr. Hickman declined • to with
draw his demand for the previous question . ;
under the operation of which the resolution
was adopted—yeas 82 ; nays not counted. •
Mr. Wikoff was soon thereafter conducted
,from the Hall by the Sergeant-at-Ann.
The House then adjourned.
SINAT6.—Mr. King, of New York, pre
q rated a petition for the entire confiscation of
property of rebels and.the emancipation

The fortification bill was taken up, and the

as a sobetituta for:the bill, it was disagreed to

it was unconstitutional, and would destroy all •

willing to participate. We did not believe in
the necessity for this measure.
Mr. Sherman offered an amendment to the
amendment of the committee, that the notes
authorized in July, also be received in pay
ment of public dues, eta. Adopted.
The Committee's amendment in regard to
the payment of interest in coin, was adopted.
Also, the amendment striking out the provi
sion, that the notes be exchanged for bonds
bearing seven and three-tenth per cent.
Adopted.
Mr. Howe epoke at some length in favor of
the bill. He contended that we might have
money to carry on the government, and should
not raise a sufficient amount by taiation in ,
time of suffering, but to effect the object, con
sequently government must issue eomething.,
This will for a time take the place of curren
cy and coin. The government owes a large
amount and most pay some
.way either in
coin or something else, and she had better
pay in notes than not pay at all. He denied
that any other government had tried such - 'an
experiment as this. He declared that the
country was dying for the went of a curren
cy, and currency needs inflation. Heeontond
ad- that England preserved her credit for a
long time on a paper currency ; he urged the
necessity of this currency, because the coun
try needs it and because it is a Info one.
Mr.- Fessenden moved an amendment.to the
amendment in regard to deposits, that they be
withdniwn after only tad dayi notice. Adop
ted.
Mr. Sherman objeoted to tho 'amendment
providing for deposit and exchange of notes
into bonds.
Mr. King thought it would he giving the
banks too much advantage, and moved to re
duce the . percentage to one ter , cent.,

The amendment : providing for deposit at
five per cent. was mated.
The amendment setting apart the proceeds
Of public) lands and °mitigated property„, and
duties on imported goods, ise special' funds for
the payment of - the interest of the - debt in
:Sonde and notes of the United States, and
for the sinking fond, was adopted.
Several other :verbal amendments of the
Committee were adopted.
Mr. ressenden'moved to 'amend the first
section so as to make bonds, for which' notes
are funded, redeemable at pleasure In five
years instead of twenty, and payable in twen
ty years.
Mr. Sher Man opposed the amendment as
tending to depreciate the character of bonds.
Mr Feseenden said the amendment was' to
prevent paying too high an interest for a long
number of years.-
Mr. Chandler said: There was no time,
since the first of November, that the war
could not be closed in sixty days. Only one
obstacle stood In the way for four months,
which Congress could remove to-morrow. Ile
believed that the order "fOrward' ? would be
given, and the war be closed by the first day

The Senate then adjourned, no quorum
