York papers, that this lady has been confined
In p-ison for a month or so by Marshal Kenne
dy, on account of alleged Seccsh principles.
This Is said now to have been an unjust and an
unwarrantable proceeding, and Marshal Draper
nas rcieasea ncr from durance.
A Great Battle. The enemy Is said to bo
in largo rorce in Virginia near our front. Ho
doubtless means to bring on a battle, and from
various Indications- which we obsctTe, wo Judge
that he will havo an opportunity to try bis steel.
When the trial hour comes, may bo recelt o at

NonTii Cuiot.fu. Tho news from North
Carolina, In the Richmond papers of tho 10th,
although probably not accurate. In details, may
be relied upon at Indicating the general object
of tho expedition from Newborn, vlis An at
tack at or near Wcldou, uin the great railroad
leading to tho South.
J3T Tho St. Louis Democrat, of Tuesday,
(tho latest date wo havo received,) Insists that
Blair Is deflated by Knox, In that Congressional
district. Yrroiiiii, Mr. Blair's friends Insist
that ho Is certainly elected. Tho dlsputo seems
to turn upon tho returns oftho" soldiers' role,"
nnd will probably not bo finally sclllcil except
b) tho Honso of Representatives.
tSfGcu. Sherman Is said to contribute ono
thousand dollars, from his ow n prhato funds,
"for the support of tho poor of Memphis, w ho
nro suffering terribly." If these "poor" Instead
of being white pcoplo were negroes, wo should
never hear tho last of It. Iu Nc Orleans tho
whites subsisting upon Government charity, In

and Horldn, to divert tho attention of tho rebels

sidered master-pieces of "stratcg,"bj persons
who now denounce tho pending expeditions of
tho same character, as "fumy" operations,

mand of tho army, and It was tho card of theso
persons to praise everything w blch was done.
Now that Gen. McClcllan has been rclleed,
these persons havo become "soreheads," and
find fault with cvcrjthlng.
Somooftho persons objecting to operations
on tho Southern roost at this time, do so on ac

Scott ov Bicuanav. Wo havo purposely
abstained from Inserting tho personal rejoinder
of Lieut. Gen. Scott to Ex-Prcsldcnt Buchanan
because, w o rcgord It In the light of uu Indl-
lldual controversy, and tho times demand that
our columns should not bo glun up to such
personalities. It Is well known, that while
Gen. Scott Is a lojul man, In tho scusoof a
professional soldier, he has alw nj s been Influ
enced, to n great cxtont, by his Virginia birth
and antecedents. No one who knew him w us
surprised that ho should be willing, In n certain
c ontlngency, to say, as ho did, of tho seceded
States, "Waj word sisters, go In pcaeo."
Tho criticisms of Gen. Scott on Mr. Buch
anan, therefore, nro to bo taken cumgianotallt,
Tbcro Is no question that If ho bad been more
elllclcnt himself, our country would bo Inn dif
ferent condition from what it Is now.
The general shows, In repl to Mr. Buch
anan's assertion to the contrary, that at tho
time of tho brcuklng out of the rebellion tberu
wcro "mailable troops within loach of tho
government!" und thut It uus tho ncgleet of
tho Into administration to call on him to push
them forward that lost Sumter, Morgan, Pick
ens, McRue, Juckson, and other Southern forts.
Ho asserts that with even the comparative!)
small regular forces at his command, If Presi
dent Buchanan hud authorized him, ho would
havo nipped tho rebellion In the bud.
Gen. Scott is loth to bollevo that tho late
1'resldcut wasprlv) to tho withdrawal bj Gen.
Hojcl of the 115,000 extra muskets and lilies,
and luO plicea of heavy artillery, fioin tho
Northern magazines to those of thu South,
btlll Mr. Buchanan asserts that he was cognl.
zuut of this outrage, and wu do nut seo why he
hliould not be believed.
In this letter, as Iu bis olhtr doeuuieuts on
this subject, Gen. Scott luukes it plain that Mr.
Huchunanwus opposed to tho releutlou of tho
Loutli In the Union by force. Such will bo the
record of hlstor.

The National IiitelllRfnrer"oit the liar.
per'a Ferry Il.port.
Our venerable- neighbor over tho way In Its
lssuo of yesterday proposes an elaborate sneer
at tho expenso of tho Harper's Ferry report.
That a falluro should accompany such an effort
Is not tho fault of tho aged concern, and If we
read only tho extracts presented and disregard a
few lmportont facts, It Is not such a failure, and
tho sneer is a very rcspcctablo sneer. For ex
ample, wo are assured that In tho body of tho
report Gen. McClcllan Is censured for not re
lieving Harper's Ferry, and In Its eloso wo nro
Informed that Gen. McClcllan did In reality re
lievo tho garrison. This Is nil l cry good, w ro
It only correct.
Tho sentenco on which this rests snysi " Jlii
reference to the evidence, it trill be rm that at tlie
very momraf Volenti Font abandoned Marylaml
Hetghti hit little army tmn'ln reality rtUevelliy
ueneralt franklin' and Snmnnrt eorpt at
Vramiton't Gap, WMfn teren mttet of hit itotl-
(Ion." "Don't yon sec," exclaims tho Intelli
gencer, "that Gen. McClcllan did relievo Har
per's I erryl" Wo beg pardon, but w o do not
see It.
Col. Ford abandoned tho Heights of Mary
land at noon, on Saturday, tho 13th. At
that moment tho pressure had been relieved by
samncr's ana franklin's corps within set en
miles of tho Heights. Harper's Ferry surren
dered on Monday noon, forty-eight hours after.
Now, although tho appcaranco of Sumner and
Franklin did In reality relievo Col. Ford, It did
not relict o Harper's Ferry. Tho seven miles
wcro never marched. Tho army that had been
nunlng at tho rate of six miles a day camoto
a dead halt when seven miles off, and so tho
garrison was not rcllccd. llenro tho commis
sion say, that had tho garrison been slower to
surrender, or tho Army of the Potomac swifter
to march, this dlsgraro would not havo fallen
upon us.
Wo beg pardon of our readers for having thus
wasted their tlmo and our Ink lit such a con
test. Tho Intelligencer fulls In Its sneer at tho
very ablo report of tho commission, but It suc
ceeds In an exhibition of Us own unhappy con
dition. Tho sneer never widens Into a laugh.
Tho Intelligencer does not feel like laughing.
It, on tho contrary, Is rpilto miserable. Tho
Intelligencer could weep, If weeping wcro of any
at ail, and tho reason for this III naturcd, spite
ful, unhappy condition any child can read. Had
tho report contained only censuro on Ford,
Miles, und Wool, our neighbor would havo
pronounced It tho most brilliant production of
tho day. But unfortunatel , theso old arm of
ficers, men abovo suspicion or reproach, boldly
used tho fucts presented and pronounced Judg
ment accordingly. In that, tho Idol or this old
conscreatho humbug went down. Hence tho
w rath and irrlcf.
Tho manner of Its abuse Is as remarkable as
Its contempt for truth. While other Journals
of Ilka character, or rather lack of character,
are lighting a rurlom bopu against Inexorable
farts, this dignified organ Is doming Itself to
pclty crlllc Isms on st lo and a miser ililo fault-
llndlng, mean us it Is Incorrect.
But what cun wo expectof ijournal tint,
retaining tho n line nnd recollections of a onet
dignified conservatism, Is nnw willing, fur the
sake, of a bare livelihood, lo bed with thu
Woods and YuUnmlLrhnms.

Correspondence of the Philadelphia InquMtr
Gainisvillb, Va., Nov. 118 n. in , Every
ono hero was startled, yesterday morning, by a
rumor that tho wholo of General Blgel's body
guard had been captured by tho rebels at Fredcr
Icksburg, and that this had been occasioned
by the treachery of a scout.
This caused tho utmost excitement and de
jection. Later In tho day news ofn different
character was received, which qulto changed
tho aspect of affairs. General Slgcl's body
guard w as safe not a man of It captured i but
they were In Fredericksburg, had a sevcro fight
and captured a largo number of tho enemy.
To giro a somewhat detailed statement of the
affair, we will begin with the starting of the
expedition. It left hero on Saturday morning,
numbering flftyfour men. Captain Dahlgrcn,
chief of tho staff, commanded tho party. Cant.
Shcra and Lieutenants Miller aud Carr, or tho
First Indiana cavalrv, accompanied tho exie-
dltlon.
They moved on to Warrcnton, and reached
there about noon, and w ero Joined by ninety
men or tho Sixth Ohio cnvolry. Together, they
proceeded through tho forests until the) reached
Stafford Court House, where lluv remained
hover night.
Tho lieutenant with ten men first crossed,
and then tho remaining guard followed Iu less
than fifteen minutes, tho Ohio men being left
on this sldoof tho river, to act In co-opcrntlon
with tho others.
Tho entering of tho Union soldiers was so
sudden that tho rebel troops stationed thero
wcro taken completely b) surprise. Scattered
throughout tho town of Fredericksburg weio
COO Confederate soldiers, tho most or whom
wcro cavalrymen. ,
They were nnable to gather their Torres to
gether Immediate 1), and this was a slight nd
vantago for our men. They at onto attacked
all of tho cneni) that the) met. A brUk fight
Immediately ensued.
Tho rebels wcro terrified nt tho yells which
our men gave, and this had partial!) the effect
to scatter them for a tlmo.
They returned strongl) reinforced from the
stragglers and pickets who were outside of the
town, und who had route In when tho hostile
demonstrations commenced. Our men wcro
then so surrounded as to licroiiiplctcl) hemmed
In, without an appircnt nvenuu lo escape
through.
With their sabres the) fought hrlllluntl), and
uflcr a short hut dcclslvo contest the) succeed
ed In cutting llielr wn) through tho cncni).
Thero was hut one of our men killed, and ,
another wounded. Tho latter was shot short!)
after lie hud ruptured a secession Nag
Thero were twent) rebels killed, and a greater
number wouuded. Thlrtv-nlno prisoners wcro
taken. All of these, with tho exception of six
who wo paroled on tho spot where taken, wcro
brought In here.
Tho citizens wcro ver) active in taking care
of the secession killed and vvouuded, and wcro
no less aellvo In making manifest their mollg.
nlty towards our mcu. A hen passing build.

News from the South.
Front the FetersburKFxpress
TROM NORTH CAROLINA.
We have confllctlnc rumors from Pa.ii.rn
Carolina. Ono report says that our forces w cro
lorccu 10 aoanuon a strong rortlucatlon several
miles below Tarboro', on Thursday, after a
heavy bombardment of several hours from tho
enemy's guns. It Is also reported that tho
Yankees brought seventy flcld-plecca Into tho
action. W hcthcr tho first of these reports has
any foundation In fact, or not, wo aro nnable
to say, but wo may say, In regard to tho latter,
that we do not believe the enemy brought tho
half of set enty guns to bear on our forces.
Another rumor Is, that tho enemy nro rapidly
retiring to Washington, wlicro the will bo un
der the protection of their gunlioats. These
rumors were current, on our streets )esterdoy,
and we glvo them only as rumors, nnd for what
they aro worth. If they havo been officially
confirmed, we havo jet to ascertain the fact.
Tho Goldshoro TWiimc, of Thursday last,
sayst
Wo havo Information that tha enent) aro In
Possession of llllumston und Hamilton, In

aly marchlne upon Tarboro'. Our small for
cngaccd them at Wllllsinston, on tho night of
me u instant, out tno orerwneiming numbers
of tho enemy forced our men to rail back. Our
loss, w o understand, is twelve killed and w wind
ed, and that or tho enemv over one hundred.
Much damago was donu, b) shelling, to tho
buildings Iu Wllllamston and Hamilton. We
learn thai cars novo been ordered to Torlmro1
lo move Government stores.
Wo also learn that tho programmo ortho ene
my was to mako demonstrations up the Roa
noke rlv cr and upon Tarboro' to draw all our
Torres from Klnston, and then march np on the
sonin sine oi lue ftcuso river Irom piewliern
nnd tako Klnston "n Ithout firing a gun." Our
authorities, however, got Information to that
etleet, and on Tuesday night all the available
forces around Klnston received marchlmr or
ders to go as near Ncwbern as they could get.
Consequently, wo may expect stirring news In
a short tlmo from that direction.
Bo all this as It may, w e are still of the be
lief that Wcldon Is tho point the enemy wishes
to reuch.

From the Missouri Democrat.
The Voice of m. Ilordfr Ntiite after Eigh
teen Months of the War.
Missouri has certainly elected to tho next
House of national Representatives, ont of her
delegation of nine, Jlvt members, who are openly
and unmistakably pledged to tlio thorough en
forcement of the President's proclamation of
freedom, and are radical supporters of the
principles upon which that policy is founded
They aro Knox, Blow, Boyd, McClurg and
Loan, and possibly one other, viz t Green. She
has, In addition to that, chosen an Emancipa
tion legislature, which will send two good on 1
true men to tho United States Senate, aud so
shape tho legislation of tho State as to bring It
In harmony with tho recommendation of the
President, and by freeing her soil from the
presence of slavery, relievo ft also from the
curso of rebellion.
Whatever may bo the verdict of the people of
the North upon the policy the President has
seen lit to Inaugurate by his noblo message of
liberty to four millions of enslaved men, In the
great work of suppressing tho rebellion, the
rcsnlt we have stated Is the answ er of Missouri,
a slave State, and the first to speak lu response.
If any havo Indulged the belief that tho Presi
dent's proclamation was calculated to alien itu
the hearts of tho people of those slave States,
which have so fur remained truo to tho Govern
ment, the) may now dismiss it aud dismiss it
forcv cr.
Wo have, for ourselves, ever since tho first
announcement of tho proclamation, freely signi
fied our belief that the lo)al pe-oplo of tho slave
States would be much les surprised at Its pro
mulgation, and were much moro read) and In t
ter prepared to receive It, than tho people of
tho uon-slav choldlng States. The peoplo of the
slave States havo been forced to reap tho bitter
fruits of slavery, In tho rebellion. They have
learned from experience the causo of tho war.
They have been taught tho valuo of peace, ev i n
If It must bo purchased at the expense of their
cherished Institution of slavery. Their blighted
fields and desolated homes call aloud for a vig
orous polic)i and the men who have suffered
aro not tho ones to spurn tho prospect of deliv
erance, at tho bidding of prejudice, however
old or however strong. lien tho proclama
tion appeared, more honest souls In .Missouri
shouted "God bless Abraham Llucoln," lu pro
portion to tho number of her people, than lu
any other part of tho nation and when they
?amo to vote, their acts verified their sluccrltv.
Tho President may now rest assured, that
whatever may bo the extent of opposition his
policy of liberation may rcceivo from other
parts of the nation, however many degenerate
sons of tho fre North may demean thcmselv ea
In the work of Bghtlug tho battles of slaver; Iu
the national councils, his hands, In thu good
work of putting down this rebellion, and with
It tho cause which gave It birth, will bo upheld
by a majority of the delegation from Missouri
a slavo Statonow, but striving earnestly to
be free
And St. Louis, tho Queen City of tho Great
West, let tho President know, has declared In
favor or tho policy of his proclamation, lu a
voice which none can fall to understand.

The Enemy lu Eastern IfcorthCarollna,
There Is no longer any doubt that tha enemy 'a
forces In Fastern North Carolina aro moving
on Weldon. with a view of tanplnctho railroad
at that point. a published some days ago an
account oi a ugiii wnicu took place between
three companies of tho 20th North Carolina
Regiment and tho advance guard of tho enemy,
on Sunday last. In this engagement thu ene
my was repulsed, our loss being ten killed aud
twenty-nlno wounded.
Later Intelligence furnishes us with somo
mini iiuiut-uiuinut iitu timuuiij irum milCll
It appears that tho enemy landed largo forces at
ivanmngion on cunuay, anu auvaucea towards
Hamilton and took possession of that town
It Is reported that they destroyed nearly tho en

General Pcttlgrew commands the Con federate
