The attack on Tampa, Fla. --A correspondent of the Savannah Republican gives the following account of the Federal attack on Tampa, and their repulse, on the 16th October: The Yankee war vessels have been haunting Tampico Bay during the war. On Friday, the 16th, two of their gunboats entered the harbor, captured two schooners loaded with cotton--one hundred and seventy-five bales in all — and all the men on board, except the Captain and two others. These made their escape by jumping overboard and wading to the shore. I learn from one of the fugitives that they did some of the tallest sort of running the first quarter of a mile to escape the enemy's fire, and nearly five miles or more (having missed their way to the city) to inform the citizens that the enemy were on them. The Yankees burned the two vessels and cargo, captured and made prisoners of the men. In the bombardment of the town they struck one house with a shot. They then landed a force of 110 men and march
ay. Semmes, of the Alabama, acknowledged that he was afraid of the Vanderbilt, by stating that he would try to avoid an engagement with her, and if she blockaded his vessel in Simon's Bay that he would use all means to elude her, as he did the San Jacinto at Martinique. The Vanderbilt is, he said, so "very much faster" than the Alabama, that if once engaged with the former he could not get away from her. Henry Ward Beecher addressed an immense audience at Exeter Hall, London, on the 20th inst., upon the interests of the North. A few expressions of dissent were drowned in the general plaudits of the vast assemblage. The London News says one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in London must have convinced Mr. Beecher of the truth of Earl Russell's assertion, that the great body of the English people were with the North, and cause him to return home as a messenger of peace and good will between the two countries. The London Times combats Mr. Beecher's arguments,
The Catholic Bishop of New Orleans recently ordered a Forty Hours Devotion for Peace. It commenced in St. Theresa Church, on the 20th ult., the festival day of the saint. Rev. Bishop Spaulding, of Louisville, Ky., has been appointed Roman Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore, vice Archbishop Kendrick, deceased.
Four days later from Europe. The Germana, from Southampton on the 21st, and the City of Washington, from Queenstown on the 22d ult., passed Cape Race Thursday, on their way to New York. The following is a summary of their news — which is four days later — telegraphed from Newfoundland: The rebel privateer-fleet, consisting of the Alabama, Georgia, and Tuscaloosa, was cruising off and around the Cape of Good Hope. Capt. Semmes, of the Alabama, had sold his prize, the Sea Bride. The United States steamer Vanderbilt was repairing in Simon's Bay.

re than one third of the shells, which have just been received from Richmond, exploded. The guns engaged in the artillery duel with the Moccasin batteries yesterday were not Alexander's fine parrotts as reported; they were taken up to-day, and will render the enemy's position in Lookout valley unpleasant, if nothing more. It is but proper to add, in correction of an error in my last letter, that it was only the cavalry videttes, and not Law's pickets, who were surprised the night of the 26th, when the enemy effected a landing and threw a bridge across the river at Brown's ferry. There was but one brigade of infantry (Law's) on picket at the time, and that was strung along the river from Lookout mountain to a point five miles below. It was impossible for so small a force, thus widely distributed, to prevent a landing in the night. It is reported that the President has offered Gen. Polk his choice of three commands, viz: At Richmond, in Mississippi, (under Johnston,) and in
n between Chattanooga and Bridgeport will now be opened immediately. The batteries of Gen. Gillmore on Morris Island — Gregg and Wagner — together with two monitors, opened fire on Forts Sumter and Johns on Monday, at 11 o'clock in the morning, and continued until dusk. The batteries threw in that time one hundred shots, and the monitors one hundred and sixty. The rebels responded from Fort Moultrie. A letter to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated in the Army of the Potomac on the 28th ult., says: Our astute enemy seems restive and uneasy in front, and especially on our right. Gen. Lee is evidently very anxious to keep our army back, and makes the best show of the few men he has now under his command that is practicable. On Monday he made a bold push forward to reconnoitre, his spies having informed him that our army was advancing from Warrenton in force. This had to cease immediately; so he shelled our outposts and drove in a few advanced pickets and videttes, while

ained ever since, discharging his duties faithfully and well; so much so, indeed, that he was noticed by the General of the brigade and other officers, with whom he was a great favorite, and many was the time that he might have been noticed sitting around the General's fire in free conversation with that officer, always eager for news, and when he obtained any that was good would hurry off to impart it to his regiment. But for the incident: It was on the ever memorable day of the 20th of September (battle of Chickamauga) that Mr. Challon took his place in the front ranks to attack the enemy in a strong position on a hill. Gallantly did all act on this occasion, but conspicuous among those brave men was the subject of this anecdote. They rushed on, driving the enemy from his breastworks, capturing three pieces of artillery, &c.; but the enfilade fire from the right and left was so very heavy that we were obliged to fall back.--Here Mr. Challon fell with his thigh broken.
