TaCutSDAY OVVIVENT 1, JANUARY *'?l, 1863.1

plies for the great Banks expedition, ashore about
two miles to the southward of Carysfoot reef light,
and the United States' barque Gemsbok, Captain
Cavendy, engaged in removing the troops on board
his vessel. Captain Berry was requested by Capt.
Cavendy to stay by him during the night, in case
he wanted help. He did so, and at daylight on the
following morning Captain Berry received on board
his vessel some 250 of the troops ; also received a
hawser from the barque for the purpose of towing
her to Key West. At 1 p.m. of the 11th, having
every thing off the wreck that was deemed possible to
take, she again headed for Key West, with the
Gemsbok in tow. The following morning she ar-
rived for the second time at the above place. After
discharging the troops and handing them over to
the tender mercies of their colonel and the United
States quartermaster at that place, also getting ano-
ther supply of coal and water, she started at half-
past 2 p.m. of the 12th, direct for Port Royal,
thinking she would avoid Turtle Harbour, for
fear that perhaps she would have to perform an-
other trip to Key West. From Key West to Port
Royal she experienced some very bad weather, but
aside from that she made a fine run of 52 hours to
the entrance of the above harbour. She arrived at
the light-ship at 6 30 p.m. of the 14th, and, as the
pilot thought it unadviiable to run in during the
night, laid by till daylight the following morning,
at which time it was all hands up anchor, and at
7 30 a.m. she was safe at anchor under the stern of
the flagship Wabash. Left Port Royal at 11 a.m.,
and arrived off Charleston at 630 p.m. Received
mails, &c., from the fleet stationed there. Arrived
at Fortress Monroe at 5 p.m. on the 17th. Left
same evening at 7 30, and arrived here at 6 30 a.m.
on the 19th, having made the round trip in 23 days
and 19 hours."

General Halleck was reported to have left Wash-
ington on the 18th for the head-quarters of the
Army of the Potomac, for the purpose of consult-
ing with General Burnside and the corps com-
manders. Official reports of the Federal losses
during the late battle make the number less than
had previously been reported—less than 1,400 killed
and 8,000 wounded. They say they lost 800 pri-
soners, and captured about as many.
General Heintzelman, it was said, would imme-
diately take the field at the head of a new corps
d'armee, and the command of the defences of Wash-
ington would be added to the duties of the Military
Governor.

ELECTION INTELLIGENCE.

TOTNES.

Mr. John Dent has issued an address to the
elrctoz sof Totnes. In compliance with the terms
of the requisition presented to him, and which he
states was signed by nearly half the constituency,
he is again a candidate for the honour of represent-
ing the borough of Parliament. Mr. Dent, with a
view to counteract the Duke of Somerset's influence,
has recently purchased an estate within the borough,
and to this circumstance allusion is made in his ad-
dress, where he speaks of having taken means for
the protection on the spot of electors who vote for
him. Mr. Dent is in London, and is prevented by
illness from visiting Totnes. Mr. Alfaed Seymour
addressed a meeting of the electors on Tuesday
evening, and a resolution declaring him a fit and
proper candidate to represent the borough was
adopted.
