Narrow escape. --The torpedo which struck the ironsides and was intended to blow up this monster frigate, might have played havoc generally had it been directed against the sides of a wooden vessel. At the time it exploded the gun boat Fah-Kee, Captain Webb, with dispatches from Fortress Monroe, was lying along side of the Ironsides, and the shock caused by the explosion was distinctly felt by all on board. Had the torpedo been sent to the other side of the frigate, between her and the Pah-Kee, it is almost certain that the latter ship would have been blown to atoms.
Gov. Watts, of Alabama. The Governor elect of Alabama, in a speech lately delivered in that State, gives very hopeful views of the future prospects of our struggle. Having lately served as Attorney General in the Cabinet of President Davis, he has enjoyed favorable opportunities of knowing the real condition of affairs, and the men to whom the management of our Government has been committed. --Although, in the classification of parties under the old Government, a political opponent of President Davis, he pays a high tribute to the virtues and abilities of the President, appreciating them even more highly than when he entered his Cabinet.--Mr. Watts refers also particularly to the naval branch of the service, and thinks we shall ere long have a fleet which will play an important part in the deliverance of the country. In regard to the subject of reconstruction, on which some had presumed to question his soundness, he said he should be almost ashamed to own himself an Alabamian

nchburg, for the same purpose. Knoxville, Oct. 30, (via Louisville, Nov. 1.)--Our forces which occupied London have retreated to the north side of the river, and now occupy the heights commanding London. The other dispositions of our troops remain unchanged. From the army of the Potomac. Furloughs for 15 days are being granted in the army of the Potomac. The cars on the railroad now run from Washington to the Three-Mile Station, and will soon go to Bealton. A dispatch from Washington, dated the 1st inst., says: We learn from the army of the Potomac that the principal movements of late have been changes of positions of the different corps. These changes have been the occasions of slight skirmishes, but without serious loss to either side. The guerillas continue their operations upon wagon trains and outposts with varied success. The impression prevailed at headquarters that Lee was disposed to fight and Meade's intentions was to accommodate him at the
halts on the Rappahannock, and, Macawher like, is "waiting for something to turn up." Meade has disclosed to the world the startling fact that he can conduct a retreat better than he can an advance. The little fame he won at Gettysburg is like foliage of the forest in autumn, descending rapidly to rise no more. He soon will have to walk the road that has already been trodden by McClellan, Hooker, Burnside, and others. It is evident that he is not equal to the work before him. Gen. Warren has already been spoken of as his successor, and before the chill winds of December sweep over the earth he will be numbered among the things that were. The destruction of the Orange and Alexandria railroad is to complete that the Yankees have been actively engaged in repairing it for ten days or more, and make but little progress in its reconstruction. The country now occupied by Meade, once fertile, prosperous and happy, is now a vast territory of ruin and desolation. Dwellin

States. We make some further extracts from Northern papers of Friday last. The capture of the steamer J. B. White, on the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal, had caused considerable uneasiness in Norfolk, and Gen. Potter, with a body-guard, had gone to the scene of the occurrence to inspect the ground. Business in the ship-yard at Portsmouth, Va., is very brisk, and there are five United States vessels there being repaired. The following is an extract from A letter from Norfolk. Col. Upham, of the 15th Connecticut regiment, with his own command and 500 cavalrymen in addition, left camp near Portsmouth on the 13th inst., and moved through the country in the direction of South Mills, raiding in fine style, but meeting with no force of the enemy en route. At the latter place a junction was made with a proportionate force from North Carolina, and thus strengthened the little army scouted and scoured the country far and near, with no mean success; for near Elizabeth City our men

John Thume (search for this): article 5
Judge Halyburton, of the C. S. Circuit Court, was engaged a portion of yesterday in the partial hearing of the charges against John Yates, Samuel Wheelberger, George Cooper, Daniel Cooper, G. W. Ramsey, John Thume, Samuel Bowman, Wm. Coffman, John D. Kester, and Rev. Wm. Dunlop, of Rockingham county, Va., for aiding and piloting deserters from the Confederate army to the Yankee lines. At the commencement of the investigation a message was received from the Secretary of War stating that the Government claimed that the parties were subject and ought to be tried by military authority. To this the counsel for the prisoners objected, alleging that they were citizens, and were, therefore, subject only to jury trial. To enable the Government to put in an argument, the investigation was adjourned until to day. The evidence elicited showed that the prisoners had been guilty of harboring Confederate deserters, and that they had used language that showed their antagonism to the Sout
