ad, the New York Herald, of the 24th from which we copied largely on Saturday, says: From Leavenworth we learn that a collision took place on last Tuesday at Mariatown, Mo., between 600 Union troops under Col. Montgomery and Col. Johnston, and 400 rebels, in which the latter were routed and all their tents and provisions captured.--Col. Johnston unhappily was killed while gallantly leading on his regiment to the charge. He was struck by no less than nine balls. The news from Fortress Monroe is very important and interesting. The U. S. propeller Fanny proceeded on Tuesday last with a body of troops to Ocracock Inlet and entirely destroyed the fortifications which the rebels had abandoned there, destroying the magazine and sinking the cannons, consisting of ten 32-pounders and four heavy 8-inch Navy guns. Two rebel privateers, the Winslow and the Coffee, ran into Ocracock with the intention of carrying off the guns, but on the appearance of the Fanny they left precipitatel

ge of returning home and in doing so he adopted the advice of his fellow-captives at the Fort. Proceeding to Washington, Mr. Harrold was placed upon his parole of honor, and then returned to Baltimore, where he took passage in a steamer for Fortress Monroe. At this point his baggage was subjected to a most rigid examination, and everything taken away which the Federals considered contraband of war, including some twenty New York papers of the latest dates. The frigates Minnesota and Wabash wlence, and several volunteer regiments were gradually filling up; but recruiting for the regular army was a slow business, the enlistments averaging only some fifteen per week in New York city. The City Hall Park was covered with feats, where recruiting officers held out inducements to the ruff-scuff of Yankeedom to enroll their names on the lists of the "grand army." Mr. Harrold was sent from Fortress Monroe to Norfolk under a flag of truce, and arrived in Richmond on Saturday morning.

Miscellaneous. From the New York Herald, of the 25th, we gather the following additional news items: Release of Ross Winans. Fortress Monroe, Sept. 23 --Ross Winans, having taken the oath of allegiance, was released this morning, and will to-night accompany his son to Baltimore. Confiscation of a Southern vessel. Boston, Sept. 24. --The bark Florence, from Malta, was seized this morning by the Port Surveyor, in consequence of being partly owned in Charleston. Sent to Fort Lafayette. Messrs. Morehead, Barr, and Duadd, who were recently arrested in Kentucky, were sent to Fort Lafayette on Tuesday last. They were previously allowed to take refreshments at the Astor House. Ex-Governor Wise and his son indicted at Wheeling. Ex-Governor Wise and his son, O. Jennings Wise, have been indicted for treason by the United States District Court, at Wheeling, Virginia. Condemned to hard labor. Ulysses C. Vannorhoff and Isaac Wilcox have been

in requiring performance of duties. In the next breath these men will probably declare that we have a first-rate Postmaster-General, and the best Secretary of War in the world; and if anybody questions it, will pounce down upon him and denounce him as a traitor to the South. Worst of all, however, in the opinion of these men, is the dilatory conduct of our officers. They could take Sevastopol with a pop gun, or storm Gibraltar with a pocket pistol: and what are Fort Pickens, and Fortress Monroe, and the broad Potomac, and Arlington Heights, and the other many fortifications around Washington, and superior numbers, and better armed men, and a powerful fleet, to men so bellicose in speech or in print. All these disadvantages and inequalities they would wipe off with a dash of the pen, or send post haste to the devil by the potency of a tremendous oath. Uncle Toby's soldiers in Flanders didn't swear harder than they do; and after cursing our own dictatory army and inefficie

place. A Federal flag of truce went to Craney Island last evening at sunset, but I have not been able to ascertain the particulars. All the vessels named above are lying quietly off the Point, safely and securely under the guns of Fortress Monroe protected by a stronghold on Virginia soil, to be wrested perchance at the cost of much Southern blood, from those who but recently could have easily been shul out forever from its ample gateways, massive well, and spacious and airy parade gre all there, to and to the comfort, for a while, of the presumptuous invaders of Southern soil. For the present, let them hold their bacchanalian midnight revels there — there are more important enterprises on hand than even an attack upon Fortress Monroe; and any future movements with regard to that famous Point are willingly left to the wisdom and discretion of the men of mind and nerve who control the destinies of our great Southern nation. It is reported here that Joseph Segar, of Ol
