The New York Herald says: It is probable that the cotton (sea Island) and rice (first quality) of the rebels at Beaufort district, South Carolina, which will fall into the possession of the Government by confiscation, will pay the expenses of our great naval expedition. This is carrying the war home to South Carolina to some purpose. The effect, we think, will be excellent; for in saddling the burthens of this rebellion upon the rebels themselve

Prisoners going and Coming. --A detachment of 150 Federal prisoners left this place for the South yesterday afternoon. Shortly after their departure the Danville train arrived with nearly 100 Lincolnites from Guyandotte, Virginia, where they were captured by a body of our troops under Lieut.- Col. Clarkson, last Sunday week. These men were part of a newly-organized regiment, which they called the "9th Virginia." The whole concern was annihilated or captured, and a large number of superior arms and some thirty horses were secured. The Colonel was killed, and-the Lieut. Colonel, K. V. Whaley, who is represented to be a "member of Congress," taken prisoner, but subsequently escaped. Among the lot who arrived last evening are a number of embryo captains, who were expecting commissions when they fell into the hands of the "rebels." After the fight the prisoners were subjected to the tallest kind of marching before they arrived at our headquarters. Pate's Rangers and Caskie's Rang

P. The fight at Guyandotte. The Lynchburg Republican, of the 23d inst., contains the following in regard to the taking possession of GuyandotteGuyandotte by the Confederates. We have published several accounts of the affair from Yankee sources, but do not recollect to have seen anything in regard to it from our own side: On the 9th inst., Col. Clarkson, of the cavalry, from Gen. Floyd's Brigade, marched some two hundred miles to Guyandotte, and completely surprised the Yankee troops in the town, numbering two hundred and fifty, under the command of Col. Whaley, one of the traitor members of Congress, elected from Western Virginia. Col. Cl

A night attack by cavalry — surprise and Annihilation of a Federal regiment. We have published several imperfect accounts of the attack upon a Federal regiment, quartered in the town of Guyandotte, Va., including the mendacious statement circulated through the Northern newspapers; but nothing so full or interesting as the subjoined narrative, written for this paper by one who participated in the fight, has yet appeared in print. The prisoners captured by our troops on that eventful nightf the enemy had very lately been in the town, they eluded our attack be having joined their command at Ceredo. After arresting several traitors, and opening a store owned by one of them, about dark we resumed a flurried march of seven miles to Guyandotte, on the Ohio river. This place is a well built town of about 1,000 inhabitants at which the enemy had quartered a regiment commanded by Col. Whaley, a citizen of ayhe county, Va., and lately elected a member of Congress of the United States.

Kentucky and rally the loyal citizens of the Eastern part of that State to the Confederate cause. Gen. Marshall will be in supporting distance of Gen. Zollicoffer, and his presence in Eastern Kentucky will greatly stiffen up our affairs in the direction of Cumberland Gap. Contrary to the rumors which were rife in Richmond about two weeks ago, the enemy never approached Pound Gap much nearer than Piketon. Hearing of the attack of Col. Clarkson's cavalry, from General Floyd's army, on Guyandotte, they took a panic, and, after gathering up all the plunder they could carry from Piketon, took themselves off down the Sandy, and along the road leading westward to Paris. They found, too, that farther progress in that direction was impracticable from the soft condition of the loads. There has been almost constant rains in the whole mountain region of Virginia for several months; and no one who has not seen them have any idea of their hopelessly impassable condition to an invading army.

rt Royal. Evansport has not been bombarded; and the recollection of Leesburg, has taught McClellan and his army at Alexandria, that discretion which is the better part of valor. Rosencranz has gone off with all but two of his regiments from the Kanawha to winter in Wheeling; first putting Gen. West Point Benham under arrest for failing to capture Floyd's twenty-two hundred men with five to seven thousand. Nelson, frightened by the daring and gallant expedition of our cavalry against Guyandotte took a sudden and headlong retreat from the vicinity of Pound Gap, dropping several of his cannon, drowning many of his horses in the river, and leaving tents, baggage, and supplies in glorious confusion all along the path of his unpursued retreat. The enemy's force before Zollicoffer caught the same Bull Run fever that seems to seize his armies in turn everywhere with equal violence. We published, a few days ago, their own melancholy tale of the dreadful flight. It was the most mar

pening of disaster and destruction before measures of precaution and protection can be secured. The blow upon the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad will come. The damage inflicted will be heavy, and require many months for reparation. The most important months of spring for freights and transportation, for army movements and reorganization, will find the road blockaded and upturn. It is melancholy enough to reflect that a large portion of Western Virginia, watered by the Kanawha, the Guyandotte, and the Sandy rivers, which would ere this have been under our sway if our army had not been sent off to Kentucky, is under the iron heel of the enemy; it is sad to believe that a still larger portion, lying contiguous, is at the enemy's mercy, and that the most important railway line in the Confederacy will soon be broken by his roving, unresisted troops. When these further disasters shall occur, we shall at least have this consolation, that we sounded the timely warning. The more pres

and did their full share of the scouting and other arduous duties incident to the post. They were the first to hear the whizzing of the enemy's bullets when the famous stand was made at Big Sewell, and were assigned an active part in the defence of the left wing of the army, afterwards concentrated at that point. They were with General Floyd at Cotton Hill, and under the command of the gallant Colonel Clarkson, and were among the few active participants in the brilliant affair at Guyandotte, bringing away with them not a few trophies of their victory in ti shape of overcoats, pistols,&c. After assisting as an essort of the prisoners to Dublin Depot, they were quartered near Abingdon, whence, being ordered to Richmond, they have been permitted to pass through Albermarle and remain with their friends until the first of February. We wish them a pleasant visit and a hearty participation in the galeties for which their district is justly noted, and that they may enter with re
