ort in five days and twenty hours. The Giraffe suffered considerable damage coming out of Wilmington. One shot tore off a large portion of her bulwarks, broke the patient windlass, and knocked down three men.--Another shot went right through her cabin, two feet above water-mark. Several shots went whizzing over and between her masts, and nothing earthly saved her from destruction but her great speed. The Public Stock Board of New York have appropriated, by a resolution offered by Richard Scholl, Esq., $2,000 for forty volunteers under the last call of the President. The supersedure of Admiral Dahlgren at Charleston is positively denied. Lieut. Wm. T. Glassell, C. S. N., who engineered the torpedo against the Ironsides, off Charleston, has arrived in New York, and been committed to the county jail. Notes from Gillmore to Dahlgren, and vice versa, denying any disagreement between them, are published. The Baltimore American says Meade's army is to take a new ro

o place the road in a working condition, with all the facilities of stock, tools, and workmen at our disposal. Two divisions of Ewell's corps were sent some time ago to operate against Burnside, who has alarmed the rebels to the highest pitch. Their place of destination is Lynchburg, which is the grand depot of supplies for Lee's army. Ewell was in command of the detachment, which was composed of nothing but infantry. The execution of Dr. D. M. Wright, of Norfolk, for killing United States officer some time since, took place at ten o'clock Friday morning at the Fair Grounds, one mile from the city. There were five regiments and one battery of artillery present. He was calm and self-possessed, and stated that be committed the crime without premeditation. A letter from Halifax, N. S. dated the 17th inst., says: The English steamer Giraffe, now called the General Robert Lee, arrived in this port early last week, after successfully running the blockade of Wilmingt

ion that he had been relieved. It is understood that the President on Monday last ordered Gen. Meade to attack Lee wherever he could find him, as he believed that, with a proper disposition of his forces, it would result in the perfect rout of Lee's army. If Meade gained a victory, he was to have all the glory; and if he failed, the President was willing to assume the responsibility of it. Gen. Meade, while here, conferred with the President. The headquarters of General Meade is at Warrenton, and the army is thereabouts, in excellent condition. It will be some time before the forces under General Meade can advance. From a gentleman connected with the reconstruction of the railroad, we learn that its destruction by the rebels has been most complete. Everything in the shape of a bridge or culvert has been latterly demolished. In many places hage embankments have been levelled and deep cuts filled up, while the dies and cross-pieces, which have all been front up, were used fo
Rosecrans (search for this): article 1
A General advance of all the Yankees Threatened. The decapitation of Rosecrans augurs well for the Confederate cause. He was the best General they had, although he might have been that and still no Cæsar. It proves, plainly enough, that, in spite of his mendacious proclamation, he was very badly beaten at Chickamauga, and t — that is before the first of December. We should probably feel some degree of alarm at these terrible threats had we not heard them two months ago, just before Rosecrans advanced upon Atlanta and stopped at Chattanooga, and Meade advanced upon Richmond to fall back on Washington. Indeed, we do not think the trumpets are sounded proverb that "threatened men live long."--It would not surprise us at all to hear that we had given the Yankees a thrashing all around before the first of December. Before the advance of Rosecrans we were assured by the Yankee newspapers that the rebellion would be crushed by that time. Yet the prospect seems as distant as ever

Grant or somebody else is to advance against Johnston, and Meade is to advance against Lee. Never, according to their veracious organs, was the prospect of crushing the rebellion so bright. We are to be pressed up into a small space, and annihilated before the mud comes on — that is before the first of December. We should probably feel some degree of alarm at these terrible threats had we not heard them two months ago, just before Rosecrans advanced upon Atlanta and stopped at Chattanooga, and Meade advanced upon Richmond to fall back on Washington. Indeed, we do not think the trumpets are sounded quite so fiercely now as they were on that occasion, and seeing that such is the fact, we take heart of grace, and comfort ourselves with the musty old proverb that "threatened men live long."--It would

Arnold never did anything after he had sold himself to the British, nor is there any cause to believe that Thomas will be more successful. We hold him to be much worse than Arnold. Arnold was a Yankee, to whom it was perfectly natural to sell himself and his country for gold. Dr. Johnson, we believe it was, who said the Devil was the first rebel.
