IMPORTANT WAR NEWS.
THE BALL OPENED AT FORT PIcIxENs.
Rebel Report Of the Battle.-1He Fleet ana
the Fort Engaged.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Assistaut Secre'
tary Fox has received despatch from Balti
more, stating that the Norfolk Day Book
publishes advices from Richmond, to the ef-
feet that an engagement was going on al Pen
sacola.
Purties who read the paper say that it
states that the frigate Niagara and Colorado
had engaged Fort McRae and that the Fort
briskly retured the fire. and further tha. the
vessels, being damaged, were compelled to
haul off.
The Day Book adds that Fort Pickens
was firing on The Pensacola Navy Yard.
Another despatch says the fight commenced
on Saturday, and was in progress on Sunday
Fort Pickens, by firing hot shot, had sci
the Pensacola Navy Yard on fire three time:
but the rebels managed up to the latter day
TO extingush the flames. They had not
however, been able to suppress those of th'
burning town of Warrington, which the bo
shot had utterly destroyed.
1t was thought at Old Point that our vic
tory was decisive.

FoRrREss MONROE VIA
p,,rtvopp Nov ~ 1871

An intelligent deserter from the Tenth
Georgia Regiment reached Newport News
ON the morning of Friday last and was taken
to bead quarters at Fortress Monroe, where
upon being interrogated he made known the
location of number of important Rebel
camps on the right bank Of the James River.
Acting upon this information, an expedi-
tion, consisting of two gun boats, was pie-
pared on Friday, 10 readiness to proceed at
nightfal to the junction Of the James aud
Wsrwick Rivers about FIVE and one. halt
miles above Newport News. The Cambridge
led the way and steamed without interruption
until reaching the point designated, where
the white tents Of the enemy could be plainly
discerned on o low wooded triangular piece
Of land. This was near midnight.
Almost before the Rebel pickets could
give the alarm, the gun boats were 10 posi-
,ou, and had opened fire upon the camps,
the guus following each other in rapid sue
cession.
No efectual resistance was made by the
enemy, aud the discharges were continued
for more than an hour, at which time the
camps appeared nearly deserted. The dark
ness OF the night and want OF sufficient men
prevented landing being effected. Indeed,
this was not the object of the expedition, the
sole aim being to destroy the camps by an
efficient cannonade, and this was successfully
accomplished. 1t is believed that the loss Of
life on the part of the Rebels was heavy,
owing to the suddeDuess Of the attack, and
their comparatively defeuceless state

ca JEFFERSON DAVIS issued bis proclama
tion setting aside Friday, the 10th inst., as II
day Of fasting, humiliation aud prayer. WHY
JEFF. should have selected Friday instead ot
Tbursday-os is usual with Christians 10 the
North--or hapgman's day, we cannot conjec-
ture, unless he imagines that as they have now
more to fear the halter on that day than any
other, it will be well to provide against that
contingency. As for fasting, we suppose the
Rebels will have enough of that before they
get through. Humiliation for their criminal
conduct is certainly most desirable for their
own salvation, and if their prayers can avail
in accomplishing such a result, we sincerely
hope that those that may be offered up by
JEFF and his fellow traitors and sinners, may
not only be long and loud, but abundant and
sincere

! GEN. CAMERON AND PRENTICE OF THE
LOUISVILLE JOURNAL.

LOU1sNILLE JOUkNAts
Some of the papers opposed to Gen Came
ron, publish with great satisfaction the strc
lures OF George d. Prentice Of the Louisville
Journal, on sentiment expressed by Gen.
Cameron at supper given by Col. Forney,
in Washington. Gen. Cameron stated that
If il was necessary to sustain the Government
and Consultation, he was ready, as q last
resort, to free the slaves and arm them against
the rebels. For the expression OF this opin
ion, Mr.. Prentice thinks Gen. Cameron has
given evidence Of his unftDess for the office
he now holds, and intimates that tho General
killed of Fremont, and is now bidding Tor
the place which Fremont held in the favor Of
Anti slavery men, and that his head should
follow Fremonts. Prentice, be it known
although Unien man, is resident ot a slave
State, aud has Away been identified with
slavery aud its interests. to say nothing oil
its preiudices. 1t is natural that be should
feel alarmed, and perhaps, indignant at such
proposition. Bnt the proposition OF Gen
Cameron, though startling is hot new. Opin-
ions of a similar character have been lately
expressed, not only by Republicans, but by
many of the most distinguished Democrats.
such as Gen. Cass, Gen Butler, Hon. John
Cochrane, und we think, Caleb Gushing. Self
preservation is tie first law Of nature. These
men say il emancipation follows this war as o
necessary result, the fault is not with u.s.
The rebels do not hesitate to use their slaves
in the destruction of the life and property oi
our people, and why, it may be asked, is it Sc
hienous crime to fight them witb.their own

EY TYPHOID FEvER.-We regret to learn
that Typhoid fever, of a most malignant cha
racter is prevailing 10 Rush township, 10 this
county. Mr. Robert Campbell. his eldest
son, aud two aughters, Mr.. John Stroll, and
Dewitt Kline, of the nrigh5orbood, all
died within a week, from this disease. The
week previous Mr. Duncan Campbell, the
father of Robert, aged about so, died, but
not, as the physicians thought, of fever. His
corpse, however, became so much swollen
that the coffin lid was pressed down with
force. The result was a most offensive efflu
via. The relatives and other neighbors were
present and shortly after took the fever, as
above described. Three other members of Mr.
C's family are recovering, as also Mr.. Jereni
ah Basset and some other ueighbors who have
been dangerously i'll with the fever.

II JEFF. DAVIS MESSAGE TO THB REBEL
LEoIsLAruRE-Jeff. finds cause for congratu.
lation in what he calls the success Of the Con.
federate arms, and declares that in men. mill
itsry means and financial condition, the Con.
federpte States are much stronger now than
when the struggle commenced. He falsely
alleges, as a reason for the invasion Of Ken
tucky, that the National forces we're about TO
enter Tennessee over X eptucky soil. He de-
clares that the Union can never be rescontruct
ed oe the causes which primarily iyuduced sep
araton have been strengthened characterizes
the nature Of the bostilities on the part OF the
United States as barbarous, and denounces
the National soldiers os incendiaries and rob.
bers. The financial condition Of the rebel
States be evidently considers very delicate
subject to hapdle--end apologies for imper'
feet mail facilities. The-eapture of Messrs
NJ Mason and Slidell on d oard British vessel
he thinks is a cause for war between the Uni
ted States and Great Britain declaring that
the seizure might with equal propriety have
been made in the streets OF London. The
blockade be pronounces to be totally ineifec
tual, and says that sufficient proof OF this fact
will be furnished at the proper time. When
that time comes he does not state. 1t will
probably be after the arrival on the southern
coast of the "stone feet" which recently
sailed from New London On the whole, Mr.
Jefferson Davis makes pretty good case fol
his Southern readers out of bad materials
As to the little affair at Port Royal, we can
not find one word in bis Message, aud the
Union demonstrations in Eastern Tennessee
seems to have escaped bis observation en-
tireiy.
