Baltimore, Nov IS. Captain f1alsey, OF the
18th Massachusetts egiment returned from
Drummontown, Accomac county, Va, head
quarters of Gen. LOCKWOOD. He reports after
passing New ton he met with various obs rue
lions on the way by the destruction OF bridges
and trees being thrown across the road. Some
were quickly removed and Others marched
around iIe found deserted earthworks but no
guns at Ok Hill. Between there and Drum
montown another battery was found, in which
eight guns were mounted, but entirely deserted
also another deserted work eight miles beyond
DrummontOwn.
Up 10 the time the captain left there had been
nine smooth bore guns captured, but no ammu-
ntlon The only muskets seen on the whole
route was about 100 old flint locks. Col. Smith
who had commanded the earthworks, had made
his escape and eluded the most dligent search.

The London Times on Southern Affairs

The latest files of foreign papers had no news
of the Federal success at Port Royal, but they
had intelligence of the sailing OF the expedition
and the Times thus speculates upon the opening
70 cotton port:
1t is of no use to speculate on matters which
will be certaintics in few days but from the
general feeling of the Northern people and the
past policy of their government, it is pretty Ger
tain that this expedition IS intended for the cap
ture of some Southern city Or harbor which WlH
mol only giue good military position, but also
enable The government TO proclaim the raising of
the blockade al one point from aohsch cotton can
be brought. The Cabinet of Washington is, OF
course, DESTROYS that the charge OF deprlvlng
Europe and the world 0, one of the great neces-
saries OF life should cease to be valid. The I'M
nacnse interest Of England, and IN scarcely less
degree of France, an the export of cotton tromthe
South, cannot but prejudice the commercial classes
ofbolh countries against u gorernmdM u" eA ap-
pears TO be the obstacle to the aC0ridS trade. In
spite of the affected indifference of the Norther-
ners to European opinion on the war, they must
feel that with the growing cmbarrasslnents OF
our manufacturers and the distress of our work
ing classes there must be an increase of bitter
ness against themselves, which may produce in
convenience and even danger. 1t rs desirable,
therefore, to chow that not they, but their OPP
ponents, are the real withholders Of the cotton
supply. II they can seize a port and open it euen
mominaly to the trade, they thereby take a,voy the
grounds Of complaint aOhich Europe had against
them. They show that it is not they who pre-
vent cotton coming out, but that it is the South
erners who keep it in. That they will get cot
ton in any large quantity no one can believe,
for the Confederate or the State governments
will, of course, take care that every bale, and
probably every negro, shall be removed from the
nelghborhood of the enemy But still the Fed
erals will have satisfied TO some extent The de-
mands Of foreign nations, inlsmuch as they will
be able to say to US or to the French, " Here is
a port, enter it and take all the cotton you can
get you are at full liberty to trade with all
whom you can set to trade with YOU"
