f this boat, as it was afterwards ascertained, had greatly hastened the departure of the first party. Upon the arrival of the gunboat an officer came ashore, who proved to be Major Clancey, of one of the New York regiments now stationed at Old Point. He promptly inquired what had been the proceedings of his predecessors, and expressed great surprise and indignation when informed of the course they had pursued. He said that they were wholly unauthorized, and directed the release of Mr. Wh Confederate schooner laden with coal which had been intended for the Merrimac, but upon hearing of the destruction of that vessel the schooner was run into Pagan creek and past Smithfield to save it. The sneak added that he would like to go to Old Point with the Major, as he was a Yankee, too. "B — n it, I am no Yankee; I am a citizen of New York," indignantly replied the Major.

Editors Appeal: We Missourians concluded to day to celebrate the anniversary of the Camp Jackson massacre. We have shown the enemy that we still own the Mississippi river, and can "run the blockade" whenever we choose. We gave them a few butts this morning to show them our power, and after a handsome little scrimmage of thirty minutes, we backed down the river to our post; with two men killed and eight

, but this is only a report. Of the waste and destruction of property, of the stoppage of labor, of the insubordination encouraged by the enemy, it is unnecessary to speak, as it would be impossible to convey any adequate idea of the real state of things. We have heard of a long list of these outrages, exceeding all previous belief and will refer to them again. Something must be done, or the Eastern part of our State will be ruined. North Carolina. The Yankees are publishing in Newbern a paper which they call the Weekly Progress, which, from the extracts we have seen, is too weakly to make much progress. The issue of last Saturday contains the following extra ordinary effusion: The information which we give below is gratifying to the lover of his country.

Captain Cannon's force was one hundred men, of which not one was materially hurt. Pressing forward, Scott crossed the Tennessee and Elk rivers, and with 160 men attacked the 18th Ohio regiment, 700 strong, at Athens, and routed them, killing, wounding and capturing 100, taking their camp, tents, ammunition, wagons, horses, provisions, etc, also 105 muskets. Capt. Jich he also burnt — killing 20 and taking 7 prisoners. Scott's ammunition now gave out — no reinforcement came up, and Mitchell came on him from Huntsville with 8,000 men. In the face of this force, Scott re-crossed both Elk and the Tennessee rivers, driving back the 4th Ohio cavalry, 400 strong, who attacked his rear guard, killing their Colonel and 16 men. This daring feat is worthy of record, from the fact of Scott's crossing into rivers on frail flats, and leaving them in the r

Since the above was written, we learn they have advanced to Searcy, in White county, where they will probably wait until supplies come up White river, or until they are reinforced. Searcy is distant fifty miles from Little Rock. Missouri matters. Persons directly from Missouri (says the Little Rock True Democrat of the 8th inst.) tell us that the war is raging fiercely in the Southwestern portion of that State, and in Kansas McBride fought the enemy for three days at Cassville, and finally whipped them. This is something more than a skirmish, as there were four or five thousand of the enemy and some twenty-five hundred patriots engaged. The former were reinforced and this protracted the contest, but a
