THE GREAT NAVAL EXPEDITION. The naval forte collected at Fortress Mon roe, and which sailed on Tuesday last, has occupied a large ehare of.public attention.— The details of its composition and equipments are given at. full length in the daily papers, and it. will not be many days until we hear of its descent on some part of the Southern coast. Com. S.F. DUPONT is the Flag Officer of the Seat, and Oeit.I,t3.!IETI.MAN command& the land forces. The. expedition eonsiele of nine men of-war, three of them being steamers, and sixteen gun-boats, with thirty-six transports. These vessels :carry a r iforoe 'of 40,000 men, well armed and officered. It will be found that this expedition is, on a scale mere vast than any thing of the kind heretofore attempted, on this .continent, pt least; ,and that, from the completehoss 9f its outfit and the skill of the men to idiom the command is entrusted, we may hope for a mo wers blow at the insurgents in their weakest spot. _ . . - - Where the blow is to fall is known only to the Government - and to the commander•in- Wel of the expedition, It was unknown to every one but General Sherman—the captains et-the : different-ehips-sailing-with- sealed -or orders,,which were not. to be opened till they igotintb a certain - latitude and longtitude. -It is probable ther•foro,lbat the insurgents will know before, wo do where the landings are to effeotod.

To avoid the flre•ehips the squadron imme diately gdt 'under way and drifted down• the river. The Richmond, Preble, and Viricenne t s got ashore 'on the bar, the Nightingale also went ashore, and while ashore were anaeked.,by the rebels, bus - without doing any damage to tire• trisects. or life in any respect. • But one shot took effect, and that struck the Richmond on the quarter. 7 They were beaten off by the Vincennes with two guns, she-halting hove overboard the rest of her armament; 'Kith het' chains, anchors, Ste., to lighten her, as she was very much exposed to the rebel fire: The, squadron has no one killed or wounded. The Richmond, Preble, anfi Vincennes were towed off the next day by the ateaidShip McClellan, which opportunely arrived. The Nightingale remained ashore when the Mc- Clellan left, and would probably be got off the next day by aid of the steamers connected with, the fleet. THE FIGHT AT SANTA ROSA ISLAND The fight on Santa Rosa Island occurred early on the morning of the 9th ult. The Zouave camp was situated about one mile from Fort Pickens; and was so distributed as to command all the_approaches Co the Fort, and also to protect the batteries. The rebel forces, fifteen hundred Strong, embarked from the Pensacola 'Navy Yard' in ,- three large steamers, and landed on the Is land about four miles above the camp. It was about 2.o'clock, A. M., scul l very dark. The rebels rapidly formed their columns and proceeded silently towards the Zouave camp, hoping to -effect a , total surprise. In this they were but partially successful. The picket guard, stationed about six hundred yards from the camp, discovered and fired upon them. This gave the alarm and saved the regiment from annihilation. The 'attack of the enemy's columns was simultaneous, and volley after volley was aimed upon the volunteers. They were forced to fall back, leaving their camp in the hands of the rebels, which they immediately com menced burning. Fort Pickens was by this time thoroughly 4 ., *roused, and three companies of re regulars came to Wilson's assistance., It was n our turn, and the rebels commenced retreat ng to their boats, closely followed by the regulars and a small number of volunteers, keeping up a destructive fire Upon them, , killing, and wounding a large number. The rebels finally succeeded in reaching their boats, but were not permitted to depart so easily. Their steamers were about five hundred yards from the beach, and our men poured volley upon volley into the crowded mass, and, by the shouts.and utter confusion of the enemy, it was clearly evident that we had obtained ample satisfaction for the insults to our flag. The regular soldiers behaved nobly, and great credit is due to Capt Robertson and Hilt, and Lieuts.. Seely and Taylor, for the admirable coolness-they displayed in ma ncouvring their respective commands. The Sixth Regiment lost ten killed, sixteen wounded, and nine prisoners ; the regulars lost four killed, twenty wounded,• and ten prisoners. The rebels loot, by their own statement, three hundred and fifty killed, wounded and missing. We took thirty-five prisoners, including three doctors, who were released. A. G. CURTIN On Saturday last, Gon. KICLLIY, attacked Romney, Va., and gained a Signal victory.— The following dispatch was received by Lieut. Gen. Scott: "In obedience .to your orders, I moved on this place . at 12 ,o'clock last night, attacked the enemy at ..8...0'0100k this . afternoon, and drove in their outposts, and after a brilliant action of two hours completely routed them, taking all their cannon and much of their damp equipage and many prisoners.

The Santa Fe mail brings some interesting intelligence from Now Mexico. The United States Dragoons at Fort Craig had routed a company of Rebels. Three thousand. New Mexican volunteers were ready to take the field for the Union. Telegraph to California. • Telegraphic communication with California is now complete, and messages of congratula tion have been received from San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton to New York, Phila delphia, and other cities on the Atlantic. The Philadelphia North American contains the first telegraphic news from the Pacific side: San Franctaco, Oct. 26.—The announcement has just been made of the completion of the last link in the overland telegraph. The Pa cifie to the Atlantic sends greeting, and may both oceans be dry before a foot of all the land that lies between them shall belong to any any other than our united country. Nothing of importrnce has transpired in California during tho past week. The steamer-Omaha sailed on the 21st inst., eariying $1,000,000 in treasure, $870,000 be ing for New York. Among the passengers are General Sumner, Senator Nesmith, of Oregon; Col. Merebent, Captains Judd, Briggs, Stewart, Hendricaon, Loomis, Lieuts. Upham, Gillis, Williston, Sinclair, Warner, Hudson, Dandy and Lipp, all of the U. S. A. Captain Green, of the United States Navy, is also a passenger. Ex-Senator Gwin and Calhoun Benham, loft somewhat quietly in the same steamer, their names having been omitted from publication in the passenger list. Four hundred and forty regular troops and ten thousand stand of arms were forwarded in the same steamer. The schooner Neva sailed for Japan on tho 23d, being no longer suspected of privateering intentions. The steamer Sonora from Panama 'arrived at San 1 4 n:unisex, on the 26th. MUST HELP UNCLE SAM FIRST.-A farm er inWia - c - iitithin Fad a son - fits - 6 joined the Bth Regiment of that State without his father's consent. Several letters were written by the father to the son, while the Regiment were in quarters at Camp Randall, for the pur pose of persuading him to,--return.—At last he wrote him he must come.—that he halga large amount of threshing to do—that be could not afford to hire help, if it were to be had, which was hardly possible, owing to the number of enlistments—and that••••he must return home and help him, even if he enlisted again afterward. The young man replied: 'DEAR PATRER :-I can't gd home at present. I should be very glad to help you, but Uncle Sam has got a mighty sight big• ger job of threshing on hand than you have' and I'm bound to see him out of the woods first." THE CERTIFICATE OF THE LEGION OF Ilowon.—The long promised scroll that is to be distributed to the soldiers of the present campaign, will goon be ready for distribution. One will be given to each of the soldiers, whether in the regular service, volunteers, either for the war or the three moriths. The one adopted by Secretary Seward, is new be ing prepared in Albany. It is about twenty inches by thirty; a handsome lithograph of an eagle with outstretched , wings, over which is, in a circular line, the imatenoe, "LEGION OP FION011," beneath it, "E PLVRIBUS thrum," and WASHINGTON. In the centre of the eagle is the Goddess of Liberty and the Goddess of Justice, with joined hands, seated upon a fiery dragon, with their heels upon its head, the Goddess of Liberty waving an American flag; by the aide of the Goddess of Justice lies a soimetar, and in her left hand is a ,bundle of fagots; from the cen tre of which one is projecting, on the end of which is a tomahawk. In a 'semi•cirole from one side to the other of the eagle, are the mot.- toes of all the States. The right foot of the eagle clasps an olive branch, and the left a bundle of arrows. Beneath the engravhig it reads: t 1 - has been enrolled as a-- in tfin . forces otttio - Unitad - Statesi - for the defence of the. Constitution and the main tenance of the 'Union."

The flag is of the usual regulation size, the national colors bearing in silver letters on its folds, " NINTH MICHIGAN INFANTRY.", 1- It is made of the most splendid heavy silk, and is attached to a finely polished flag-staff, mounted by a golden Eagle with outstretched wings. On the staff, inscribed in beautiful characters, is the following Presented on the 23d of October, by Rte. GEORGE DtITTISLD, of Detroit, Michigan, • to The Nintkhliehlgan Infantry, his eon, Col. W.

J. W. Howe has also been appointed to visit Ken tucky, on a similar mission. This is a good and wise move on-the-part of Governor Cur tin, and is alike gmorable to his 'fiend and heart.—lt shows that the interests of the in dividual soldier are not forgotten amid the multiplied duties and cares arising out of the organization of l iments and brigades. - .

THE STEREOSCOPTON. — TWO exhibi tions of the Stereoscopton were given last week at Itheem's Hall, at which over one hundred views were exhibited of celebrated localities in the United States, Eprope and Asia, with a truthfulness to 'nature that was as astonishing as it was pleasing. Irt point of audiences, however, both exhibitions were entire failures. Had it been a juvenile con cert, or a "nigger show," the effect might have been different. KNITTING versus NETTING.—The la dies are determined if they can't fight they will knit; consequently, fancy betting and crochetting are at a. discount in private cir cles. Grey "socks," and huge "comforters" for the soldiers, have taken the place of "clouds," and are daily sent off to the army at various points. Let us hope that the "sock" business will prove more beneficial than the havolocks. KEMMERER'S JUVENILE CONCERT.— Mr. Kemmerer, who has organized a singing class of over one hundred children, from the schools, gavo his first concert at Rheem's Hall on Wednesday evening. The audience was quite large, and expressed themselves much gratified with the manner in which the little folks acquitted themselves. The selec tions were excellent, many of them quite hu morous, and the dramatic effect with which some of them 'were iiiiiffered, was highly creditable to the tact and skill of Mr. Kem merer, who, in the short space of one week, was able to effect so much. The second con cert will be given this evening at the same place, and we advise all who wish to spend a pleasant hour to go to it. RUDE Bova—We can make every al lowance for the exhuberant spirits of youth, ankdelight to revive the osaociatioin of our own earlier years by furthering their sports and pastimes; but when we see vicious, info lentCand ignorant -boys, 'Who are old enough to know better, forcing their way into public Ishibitione for the avowed purpose of annoy ing respectable audiences with disgusting, beastly conduct, we think it is time for the civil authorities to interfere, and by a few timely examples, protect our citizens from such a nuisance, and the boys themselves, if possible, from further degradation. It is an old and true saying, that " boys will be boys," and because it is true, is the very reason why they should be controlled. If parental au thority, or their own sense of decency, is in sufficient to restrain them, they should be taught the lesson by a severer method. PATRIOTIC.—The ladies of Carlisle and the surrounding country are determined not to be behind in their efforts to secure the comfort of our brave volunteers during the coming winter. They have been collecting blankets and knitting woolen socks, a large box of which was packed up at A. L. Spoil- Bier's office and sent to Quarter Master Gen. oral, R,; C. Hale, at Hairisburg on Saturday the 19th inst. The following are the names of the con tributors, and articles of cootribuion : Mrs. Col. Armstrong Noble, 2 blankets ; Mrs. Capt.

'Mr. James Hamilton likewise contributed 1 blanket ) and Mr.. Geo. Metzger 1 blanket. — The contribatiowaro still coming in t yaito a number of excellent blankets and woolen socks have since been • deposited, and will be shipped as spon as a sufficient number, to fill another box shall have been received. It might be well to state that our volunteers at Harrisburg aro greatly in want of blankets which can not be procured.by the ()oven• meat sufficiently fast to supply their wants however willing they may be to pay for them, and that donations made by the citizens in that way and sent directly to the Quarter Master General-insures, a proper distribu• lisn so as to supply the wants' of , those in ',lastest need.

A CHAPTER ON DgEss.—The rich im portations from Europe, of winter novelties for the fashionable world, fully demonstrate, that nowithetanding the war, the ladies are not restricted in their love for gay And expen sive outfits, if they have the money to pay for _ . them. Prominent among the superb novelties im ported is a velvet evening dress for the lady of the White House, of the magnificent shade known as sublime rose. The skirt is deeply en traine, and laid in plies of immense plaits, but not gored. The corsage - is low, pointed, and trimmed with folds, and a stomacher of pointed lace. The sleeves, a Eugenie, are to be clasped with diamond aigrettes. The coiffure to be worn with' it consists of a long barbes of costly white point, the wreath of short red flowers, and a long rosy plume, tipped with marabout, fastened with a dia mond aigrette over the forehead. The new style of winter bonnets are said to present a new and extremely elegant combina tion,. consisting of an extreme front of thin transparent lieu, or crape,, united to the rich dark velvet which forms the body of the cha peau. The or nam cuts are very rich, long barbe-like plumes, mounted with a tuft of the same feathers, or scarfs, and barbes of lace, festooned by a moisture of lace, and moss rose in buds, or the blood-red camelia. Netted woolen under-sleeves aro made in great variety, but there is only a style of white puffed zephyr, with intersecting colored stripes which are at all fit to wear, and those only when they are desirable for warmth. Noth ing.but the purity and delicitcy of lace and cambric should be permitted to come between the,dress and the skin. Mariposas and Sontags shterettabe redun• .daridy-of-color-which the _florid .taste. of the season demand, and are so attractive as to elicit many admiring ohs ! and ahs I from im pressive young ladies, and give rise to innu merable expeditions, the object of which is Magenta and Solferino worsteds, which are sold in every variety of shade, purple to dark brown, according to the exigencies of the shop keepers. A very great improvement has appeared in hooped skirts of a eecent date, of which lady readers will be glad to be informed. It con sists of a greatly improved number of stand ards, which are placed close together around the bottom of the skirt so thickly that the heel cannot catch in them, and adding much to the general strength and durability. This idea originated with a woman of course. Hooped skirts have reached perfection now, compared with the first clumsy spkimens which made their appearance six or seven years ago. The number of standards amount to one hundred and twenty-eight in some instances—of course of the lightest and most highly prepared ma terial, but which possess none of the brittle quality which formerly rendered steel springs or " standards" dangerous. The shape is also greatly improved. The bulk at the top has given piece to a narrow eiruntforence which almost tapers to the waist, and extends out in a general flow to the bottom , of the skirt, slightly deepening at toe, hack so as to_ pep port the greater length of the dress at that point. Zouave jackets reappear as the season ad vances, and promise to be as much in vogue as over. They are, however, quite different in style. The skirt part is.almost wholly dis pensed with, leaving aaort of Greek veste loose, but out almost straight around the waist, ex cepting where it deepens into a short point before and behind. A twitted iineit-combrio undershirt is indispensable, finished with a small linen collar, narrow,tandifig A wide silk sash is tied round the waist on one side, and gives a Greek-Turco effect to the costume. A coat-sleeim ornamented with buttons and braid is the correct style with this jacket, but many prefer one which will display an undersleeve.

Fla r kr, RAILROAD ACCIDENT—AiI acci dent occurred on Tuesday afternoon on the Northern Central Railway which resulted in the death of two passengers, and the serious wounding of niters] others. It appears that the express train for this city was detained at Harrisburg to enable some other trains to connect, and when it started it ran at full speed. When it bad got a short distance below Howard's tunnel,, about eight miles. eolith of 'York; the engineer discovered a cow on the track but before he could reverse the engine or give the warning to pnt down the brakes, the train ran on the animal, and. was thrown from the track. The engine, baggage ear, and two passenger cars were broken, the last named slightly, and the others more - seriously. An examination of the wreck discovered that two passengers were killed, and several others wounded. One of those killed was from Baltimore, named Valentine.
