From the Ogdensbng Tin.es. Norembcr l3M.


After SIX O'Clock last evening, things remained
very quiet through The night. There were howey-
er some reports Of cannon during the evening at
long intervals.
During the evening the TELrGRPu came in bring
ing some L. $. troops with Marshal., &c.-They
took possession OF The United States. Oar citizens
held a meeting during the evening, to take mea-
sures ior defence, but as our work had been delayed
by the confusion OF the day, could not find time
TO ntcnd.
Early this incoming i, discovered that the arm
ed steamboats, CopouRG and TRAVELLER had arrived
with troops. About seven O'Clock tins morning the
armed boats opened fire on the party at the Wind
MIL which soon brought large body OF spectators
to the Mil point nearest the American territory.
The Iolnt on which the Wind Mill stands is one
OF some twenty feet elevation above the ST. Law
renee. The country back rises gently Tor about one
hunded and fifty rods The land about it 10 highly
cultivated and presents a charming landscape, with
orchards, shfnbbcry and substantial stone buildings.
The Wind Mill is circular, massive stone build
ing aiofding ample shelter against any shots that
the boats were prepared 10 throw.
The cannonadlng between the Wind Mill and the
three armed steamboats,, continued to be the scene
OF attraction I'LL nearly eight O'Clock, when line of
IRE blazed along the summit OF the hill in rear for
about eighty a hundred rods, and the crack of
The rifle and musket made continuous roar. The
scene was one of most intense exeemen Mt and soli-
citude. The reflection that men fall of high hopes
and ardent expectations were falling by hundreds
were calculated to awaken the most painful emo
lions.
The action on the brow ofthe hill continued some
twenty or thl'ty m'nues, when one party gave way,
the other followed and the comoatauts passed out Of
view over the brow of the hill but the contest ragged
hercely as was evinced by the continuous roar of
musketry.
Another scene came in view a party marched
down by the river road and opened a warm fire upon
stone building IN which the rebel forces were quar-
tered: This battle continued with spiti, for som,
time, when the loyalIsts relreated and the combat
ants over the hill became fainter aud fewer I'll a.

9 o'clock, L. NJ.

Ftlcnd Weed-I snatch few moments time, to
give you notice of the proceedings IN this place to-
day. This morning our citizens were aroused by
the news that two schoouers, loaded with Canadian
Patriots laying III the river opposite this place,
with the intention of attacking Prescott. and also
that anothe, Band of about two hu"died had taken
possession OF the steamer United States
About O'Clock the steamer left The wharf FOR
the purpose OF towing OF the two schooncrs which
had both run agtound. One however, got of with
out assistance, and run on to the Canada side aud
landed about 200 men about nile brlow the Fort.
The BRUSH steamboat Experiment put out after the
L. States, and fired several shots at her, only OF
which struck the boat, and killed very worthy
young man OF this place.
The British Steamer ranged alongside the other
Schooner which was aground, and fired Il broads de
into her, without however doing any damage except
to her rigging. The Schooner returned the fire,
anu killed men. Inc last Schooner has just
been got off, and is now preparing to 90 over The
people on board express themselves determined TO
take the fort before morning. Doubtful however
though there is a rumor in town that the Can ldian
people norking 10 the standard raised there IN
great numbers.
Our place is in great excitement, and 10 business
has been done TO day. The mail closes soon, and
must close If any thing important IS done | Will
"te TO YOU further by tonorrow's mail
Yours in haste, A. b. JAMES.
The Oedeusburg Times of the l2h has the
following additional items respecting this moe
ment:
3oclock p. M-The rebel forces occupy wind
mill about mile below Prescott, and II IS under
stood that there is another body above who have
taken up brigc. and stand prepared to defend
themselves.
The afternoon has been quiet so Ear. Small boats
are constantly crossing with men and arms
We have most favorable location for observing
the movements, as window affords a full view of
Prescott and the river above and below, for two or
three miles. Prescott is unusually quiet this after
noon.-Wo have hardly seen Il moving being in the
streets or about it.
6 O'Clock M.-Atms and ammunition appear
to be abundant. The schooners have placed them
scvesrnear wharf on which the wird mil stands A
body of loyasts, reported 400. the march
from Rockville, Q2 miles above lhls,l TO meet them,
and If the parties have appetite for fighting, we
may expect important events soon.

Making the Wing majority thus far 8 ;
and the Wing gain -. 1t will be remem-
bered however that five OF the seven
members from South Carolina who were
elected to the 25th Congress as opponents
of the administration, and whom we have
placed 10 that division Of the above table
as Wings, are thorough going Sub Irea-
surg men, and during the last two ses-
sions gave general support TO the Adj
mins.raton. They should therefore be
struck off from the Wing list in the pres
ent Congress. This would reduce our
present number of members from States
above mentioned to 59-instead OF Cd
and our actual gain in the next Congress
accordingly ought to be set down as Is
instead of 10.
One hundred and forty-six members
have already been elected. Eleven States
are to hold elections in the course of the
next spring and summer. They are en-
titled to % members. New Hampshire
leads off in March.
The following estimates ofthe results
in these States respectively are chiefly
taken from the New York Express. Some
of them are rather too large perhaps:

successful, division oCthe northern from
