the 17th Morgan was making an effort to reach the river to cross at the head of Burlington island, under cover of the night. The Gazette, of the 20th, says: "Morgan finding himself in close quarters, sent out scouts to find a crossing near Burlington, as this was the only ford left him that he could possibly reach. On learning that the ford was guarded by gunboats, and we had a strong force of sharpshooters on the island, Morgan broke up his command and they separated, each squad to take care of itself. One squad broke for the crossing at Burlington, followed by the battery of six pieces which Morgan brought with him. As soon as the rebels approached the river they were opened upon by the gunboats, and one hundred and fifty were killed and drowned. Our cavalry made a dash upon the force in charge of the battery and captured the whole six pieces, and killed a number of rebels. In the skirmish we lost six or seven killed. The rest of this force were repulsed and driven back."

Piketon is in flames, but cannot speak intelligently of Morgan's movements; but, as usual, everybody — by whom I mean our military — says that he can never get out of the State--Ohio, I presume, is meant — but in his present state I am inclined to think that he is in a condition to change it when he deems proper. The same writer, writing from Columbus on the 20th, gives an account of the fight at Baffington: It is now definitely ascertained that in the fight yesterday morning at Burlington, Morgan lost all his cannon, (which consisted of only three pieces,) fully seven hundred prisoners, a large number of horses, with their entire equipments, and a large quantity of his pistols, revolvers, carbines, etc. This no crippled him as to compel him to return possible, which he did by proceeding up the river, but keeping out of the range of the gunboats. When he reached a place opposite Belleville, which is situated on the Virginia side, and is about fifteen miles below Parker<

A Pious Yankee Chaplain. --The following is an extract from a letter written by an Abolition Chaplain connected with Lincoln's Army in Virginia, to his friend and brother preacher, located at some other point. The letter was captured along with other mail matter, when Capt. Enrigh "took" the United States mail between Burlington and Williamsport the other week. The letter is dated. "Camp near Roenet, Oct. 11th, 1863. "All quiet on the Potomac. Rosecrans is all right. A very sanguinary battle will come off at or near Chattanooga before long. Oh! for success. I now believe we shall have it. And O for a little more 'Greek fire' to be rained upon Charleston, that sink of inequity! As fire and brimstone was the remedy for Sodom and Gomorrah, so is 'Greek fire' the remedy, and a very befitting one, too, for that nest and bathed of rebellion. Burn it to the ground, and the inhabitants along with it if they choose to remain in if; then raise its very foundations unti

about 1,000 strong, came up on Monday last as far as the bridge, a mile this side of Mount Jackson. On their way up they captured a Lieutenant and four men on picket, belonging to Major White's battalion. At the bridge they met Major White's battalion and a section of artillery belonging to Capt. McCianahan's battery, under command of Lieut. Berkley, and were driven back, with no loss on our side. The enemy's loss--seven killed, eighteen wounded, and four captured. They were pursued that night by Major White, and attacked in their camp near Woodstock, and driven precipitately down the Valley. A friend informs us that he has reliable advices of another bold enterprise of that fine partisan officer, Capt. McNeil. A few days ago he made a descent upon a Yankee train at Burlington, Hampshire county, eleven miles west of Romney, on the Northwestern turnpike road, captured eighty wagons, (which he destroyed, with contents,) and brought out two hundred and forty good wagon horses.

ished, the rebels set fire to the bridge, and leaving it to destruction, started off with their prisoners in the direction of Romney.--The employees of the railroad succeeded in staying the fire, and saved the bridge with only slight damage to it. Gen. Averill, with his command, who had been sent out from Martinsburg by Gen. Kelley this morning, overtook the rebels near Springfield, and a severe engagement ensued. The rebels were driver through Springfield, and thence to and south of Burlington. Many of the rebels were killed and wounded, and our captures are large, including the recovery of our own men, taken yesterday at Patterson Creek, and many horses. The enemy are making rapid tracks for the back country, pursued by our cavalry. The intended raid on New Creek has been thwarted by Gen. Averill's quick movements and the other ample arrangements made by Gen. Kelley, and their anticipated success turned to a complete rout and discomfiture. The Baltimore and Ohio

The three Republican candidates for the Thirty-ninth Congress are elected by increased majorities. The vote of forty towns for representatives to the Legislature has been received, and they all return Republicans but two. The State Senate will probably be without a Democrat. It will be seen that the returns, as far as received, all show a sma

The Newark Advertiser states that Bishop Odenheimer, of the Protestant Episcopal Church of New Jersey, met with a severe accident at South Amboy on Sunday. He had just concluded the services at Roundabout, and in going out of the church made a misstep and fell, breaking his left knee. The injuries were dressed, and the Bishop sent to his home, in Burlington. He will be probably laid up three or four months from the effects of the injury. Surgeon Wheeler, Twenty-fourth regiment, at Richmond, Va., returns to Surgeon-General Dale a list of Massachusetts soldiers who died while prisoners of war at Richmond.
