not known to the Government, and why they publish news accompanied with editorial sheers and inuendoes against the country giving them protection, that is denied to loyal newspapers and correspondents. A little judicious stringency applied in this concern might develop cuitous facts, or bring to light hidden pathways leading through the labyrinths of Secessia that might be prod table for loyal feet to tread in. Some people intimate that Gen. Dix is too easy with his enemies, or that Marshal Dodge might be more vigilant. There is but one of two things, so far as Baltimore and Maryland are concerned, and that is that Secessionists must either eventually go under and friends of the Union rule, or vice versa. It is fair to presume those backed up by the Government must in the end triumph. The chances, at least, are a hundred to one in their favor. The sooner, therefore, such a consummation is reached the better it must be for all, and the nearer are we to peace. Certain it i

any of the inhabitants have left, and those remaining are very bitter in their feelings and expressions. It is reported that there is but one Union man in the town; others will be discovered in a day or two, of course. The place was evacuated by the enemy on Sunday last. All the rebel troops from Norfolk passed through Suffolk on the way to Richmond. Suffolk is a beautiful town, the streets being wise and pleasantly shaded with trees. A reconnaissance was made yesterday by Maj. Dodge's mounted rifles as far as Kempsville, Gov. Wise's place. No prisoners were taken, and but little information was obtained. The place was found almost deserted. A flag of truce was sent out yesterday in the direction of Suffolk, to return a prisoner of State released from Fort Warren. The Seaboard and Roanoke railroad has been found in good condition to Suffolk, only a single bridge having been destroyed. The road will be repaired immediately, and the rolling stock put on as s

Gen. Casey's papers --A number of the official papers of Gen. Casey, General commanding Division of the Yankee army, were captured by our men on Sunday last. From severs surficial reports of regiments in the division it appears that few regiments number men, and they are chiefly armed with Enfield and Austrian rifles. One report accuses Maj. Dodge, of the 87th New York, of interfering to prevent a change of two companies in his regiment to another in the brigade. As the Major was "brought in" Sunday, it isn't likely that any trial of the accusation will take place.

ed. Perhaps the most notable was the number of officers hit. Brigadier-General Devens received a bullet in the right leg, but kept the field for two hours after it. Brig. Gen. We was struck by a ball in the shoulder, but not disabled. A musket ball passed across Gen. Couch's breast and only cut his coat. Colonel Briggs, of the Massachusetts Tenth, was struck in three places, and disabled finally by a rifle ball that passed through both things Colonels Kiker, of the Sixty-second New York; Dodge, of the Eighty seventh New York; Valley, of the First New York Artillery; and Ripley, of the Sixty-first Pennsylvania, were all killed Colonels McDartey, of the Ninety-third Pennsylvania, Rowley, of the 102d.

out 12 o'clock midnight, and we were in a very uncertain, and for aught we knew a critical position. The rebels were known to be scattered over the country in different directions, but in what numbers we not any other person seemed to know anything about. It was uncertain what minute they might appear upon the brow of the hill near which we stopped, and fire upon our train as they did on the one preceding us. Accordingly, a few persons started to bring down the Fifty-second Pennsylvania, Col. Dodge, which was known to be in the vicinity, to serve as a guard of protection to the train. The men had generally retired to rest for the night, but were soon aroused, put under arms, and marched down the road to where the train had stopped. After giving a partial list of the casualties resulting from this "wonderful raid of guerrillas," the writer adds: Early next morning after the occurrence, regiments of infantry were thrown along both sides of the railroad to act as a guard, whi

Later from the North. Northern papers of the 6th have been received. A new calculation puts the Federal loss in the late battles at 1,000 killed, 6,000 wounded, and 2,000 prisoners. McClellan, Pope, and Sumner were all in Washington on the 5th. Three hundred "contrabands" from Fredericksburg, Va., arrived there on the same day. James F. Simmons, U. S. Senator from Rhode Island, had resigned his seat. A detachment of Dodge's New York Mounted Rifles left Suffolk last week and captured 112 men in North Carolina going to join the Confederate army. The Indian troubles in Minnesota still continue, with fatal effect to the whites. Two new regiments left the interior of New York, for Washington, on the 5th. The Herald states that the Confederate war steamer Florida, Lieut. Murray, had succeeded in destroying several U. S. vessels near Nassau. Lieut. Hiram B. Banks, a brother of Maj. Gen. N. P. Banks, and Capt. Fessenden, a son of Senator Fessenden, were killed in the recent battle

The Confederate guerrillas are destroying a number of boats on the Ohio river. The N. Y. Herald says: A party of them destroyed the Hazel Dell, on Wednesday, at Caserville, Ky., capturing her cargo. Proceeding to Columbus they set fire to the transports Admiral and Philadelphia, blowing up the former by the explosion of the shells on board. Fortunately, a thousand kegs of powder were taken from the Philadelphia in time to save her from a like fate. The loss was about $75,000.--Gen. Dodge was wounded by a fragment of shell. A large body of Union troops have started for Caseyville in pursuit of the enemy, who are under command of Colonels Anderson, Johnson, and Martin. A dispatch, dated Cairo, Ill., the 16th, says: The rebel force which robbed the steamer Hazel Dall yesterday, at Caseyville, Ky., commanded by Colonels Anderson, Johnson, and Martin, is supposed to have numbered two thousand. They took about 83,000 worth of clothing groceries and powder, and threa

From the South side. Reports were yesterday busily circulated of a skirmish which is said to have occurred at Franklin on Blackwater river, on Tuesday evening. A portion of Dodge's New York Mounted Riflemen were represented to have encountered some of our cavalry and a section of Wright's Rockett Battery. The battle is said to have lasted upwards of an hour and finally resulted in the loss of the section of Wright's battery engaged, and about fifteen of our men killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy is not known, as they were left in possession of the field. It is reported, however, that two of their horses were captured.

and that he had been addressing public meetings there. Reception of Released political prisoners. We find the following dispatches in the Chicago Times: Burlington, Iowa, Nov. 15.--David Sheward, recently released from the Old Capitol prison, was welcomed here to-night by an immense concourse of his Union fellow-citizens, with torches, banners, and music. On the arrival of the procession at the Argus buildings, Mr. Sheward made an eloquent speech, in reply to a welcome from Gen. Dodge, after which he was serenaded at the General's residence, whose guest he is. Dubuque, Iowa, Nov. 15.--D. A. Mahoney, editor of the Dubuque Herald, also just released from the Old Capitol prison, arrived this evening. He was met at the levee by a large concourse of friends, who escorted him to his residence. Quite a number of buildings were illuminated in honor of his return. Reconnaissance to within twenty miles of Richmond. The Washington Star, of the 27th ult., says:

From the South-side. A member of Dodge's New York Mounted Riflemen deserted and came into our lines, near Zuni, a few days ago, and arrived at Petersburg on Friday. He is represented to be a likely, intelligent man, and has been in the service but three months, but expresses himself as fully satisfied with his war experience. He gives it as his opinion that there are not more than 15,000 now in and around Suffolk, and says that an attempt will be made to cross Backwater, at or near Franklin, at an early day, and that the material for pontoon bridges reached Norfolk on Friday week. Corcoran's Irish Legion arrived at Suffolk on Saturday week, and were received with some enthusiasm Corcoran was not with the Legion, being left at Fortress Monroe, where he lies quite ill with aphoid pneumonia. Corcoran is said to have expressed a desire to be assigned to duty at Suffolk, with the hope that opportunity might be afforded of avenging some "indignities" offered him in Petersburg
