ats, several thousand pounds of blade fodder and shucks, carriage, wagon, cart and plow harness, cutting-boxes, plows, and other agricultural implements, and five horses and mules, all of which were entirely consumed, with the exception of two horses and one mule. The corn-house, with a small quantity corn, were saved. Mr. Style says that his residence is within two hundred yards of battery No. 2, and that the guard at the battery knew nothing of the fire till he sent them word. If this be so, the "lookout" could not have been a very effective one for that night. Within the past two weeks Mr. S. has been robbed three times. On the first occasion his hen- house was entered, and all his poultry taken. On Monday night last his cattle pen was robbed of a fine fatted beef. And now his corn-house has been robbed; the grain hauled off in a cart, and his barn and stable, with their contents, burned. Mr. Style's loss is estimated at $15,000, upon which there was no insurance.

Major Moore, of the 3d N. C. cavalry, is reported killed, and Company G, of his regiment, and Company K, (infantry,) of the 57th Virginia, of Gen. Barton's brigade, taken prisoners. One gun of Col.

Murder in Wythe county. --Wm. Walters, the little dwarf, who was only three feet two inches high and 40 years old, was murdered in Wythe county, Va., on the evening of the 24th ult., by a man named Roberts. It appears that they were returning together from a still house, at which place Walters had exhibited a considerable amount of money, the desire to possess which by Roberts is thought to have led to the commission of the horrid deed. Roberts was heard to say that he had killed Walters, but pretended it was done in self-defence. He is still at large.

d. Then ensued a scene which none but an eye-witness would believe. Officers and men rushing along our deck, shooting and cutting at everything that came to sight, and even shooting, in their mad career, one of their own men — and in the case of Jany, of my ship, shooting him as he was coming up the hatchway to give himself up. Having satisfied themselves with this (courageous charge) they went below and broke open everything that came to sight, state-rooms, trunks, boxes, &c., officers and meng all of the Captains of the vessels captured on the 8th and 9th of November. I thought it proper to say that for the discharge of my duty, and for the responsibility of all that occurred on that day, I am responsible, and to none but my country and my conscience. Riley, fireman, mortally wounded by grape; Jos. Jany, dangerously in groin; Barre, fireman, shot in shoulder;--, (name forgotten,) fireman, shot in neck; two of the cabin bosy cut severely with cutlasses. F. N. Bonneau.
