The Secretary of War has issued the following
instructions to the commander of the naval expe-
dition in regard to the disposition of slaves :
" War Department, Oct. 14.
"Sir,—ln conducting military operations within
States declared by the proclamation of the Presi-
dent to be in a state of insurrection, you will go-
vern yourself, so far as persons held to service under
the laws of such States are concerned, by the prin-
ciples of the letters addressed by me to Major-
General Butler, on the 30th May and Bth August,
copies of which are herewith forwarded to you. As
special directions adt.pted to special circumstances
cannot ba given, much must be referred to your own
discretion as commanding general of the expedition,.
You will, however, in general, avail yourself of the
services of any persons, whether fugitives from la-.
hour or not, who offer them to the national Govern-
ment. You will employ such persons in such ser-
vices as they may be fitted for, either as ordinar y
employes or, if special circumstances seem to requi re
it, in any other capacity, with such organisation in.
squads, companies, or otherwise, as you deem m est
beneficial to the service. This, however, a] of
to mean a general arming of them for
military service. You will assure all loyal
masters that Congress will provide just corn-
pensation to them for the loss of the servicts
of the persons so employed. It is believed that the
course thus indicated will best secure the substantial
rights of loyal masters, and the benefits to the
United States of the services of all disposed to sup-.
port the Government, while it avoids all interfe_
rence with the social system of local institutions of
every State beyond that which insurrection ma keg
unavoidable, and which a restoration of peaceful
relations to the union under the constitutian, will
immediately remove.—Respectfully,
" SIMON CAMERON, Secretary of War.
"Brig.-Gen. T. W. Sherman, commanding Expn-
dition to the Southern Coast."

The following letter, addressed by Gen. Garibaldi

Hailed :

Caprera, Sept. 10.
My dear Sir—l saw Mr. Sanford, and regret to ha
obliged to announce that I shall not be able to r;Ci
to the United States at present. Ido not doubt of
the triumph of the cause of the Union, and that,
shortly ; but if the war should unfortunately con: -
tinue in your beautlful country, I shall overcom
all obstacles which detain me and hasten to th
defence of a people who are dear to me.
G. GARIBALDI.
To Mr. Quiggle, United States Consul at Antwer p.
The expeditionary force, according to a despati3h
dated Fortress Monroe, October 28, had suffered
seve,:ely during a heavy gale.
General Fremont had announced as follows a
victory in Missouri :

" Head-quarters in the Field, near Hamansville,
Mobile, Oct. 26.
" Captain M'Keever, Assistant Adjutant- General,
—Yesterday afternoon Major Seagoni, at the head
of my guard, made a most brilliant charge upon a
body of the enemy, drawn up in line of battle, a:nd
their camp at Springfield, 2,000 or 2,200 strong.
He completely routed them, cleared them from the
town, hoisted the national flag on the Court-house,
and retired upon a reinforcement, which he has
already joined. Our loss is not great. This suc-
cessful charge against such very large odds is a
noble example to the army. Our advance will
occupy Springfield to-night.

4 J. C. FREMONT,
Major-General Commanding."
The following is the despatch of Major Seagoni to
General Fremont:—
" Five miles out of Bolivar, Oct. 26, 10 a.m.
" General,--I report respectfully that yesterday
at 4 p.m. I met in Springfield about 2,000 rebels,
formed in line of battle. They gave me a warm re-
ception, but your guard with one feeling made a
charge, and in less than three minutes the enemy
was completely routed by 150 men. We cleared
the city of every rebel, and retired, it being near
night, and not feeling. able to keep the place with
so small a force. Major White's command did not
participate in the charge. I have seen charges, but
such brilliant bravery I have never seen before, and
did not expect. Their war cry, ' Fremont and the
Union,' broke forth like thunder.
" CHARLES SEAGONI,
Major Commanding Body Guard."
Another Federal victory is reported by General
Kelley, in Virginia :
" Romney, Virginia, Oct. 26, p.m.
" In obedience to your orders, I moved on this
place at 12 o'clock last night, attacked the enemy
at 3 o'clock this afternoon, and drove in their out-
posts, and after a 'brilliant action of two hours com-
pletely routed them, taking all their cannon and
much of their camp equipage, and many prisoners.
Our loss is but trifling, but cannot say to what ex-
tent."
