EASTERN NEWS.

The intelligence from the East, received
since our last issue, is Of favorable char
adter. The reports relative to The operations
Of the naval expedition are received from
different sources, aud though we have few
particulars of the bombardment, there is
little doubt that the Federal troops effected
landing at Por Royal. The reports Of the
burning of Beaufort, and Of the attack on
Charleston, are not reliable neither is the
report that the Federals bad possession of
the railroad aud had captured immense
quantities OF stores, though there is moth
ing improbable in such result. But
the Federal troops have undoubtedly gained
a foolhold 10 South Carolina, and the State
will be forced to recall her troops from The
Potomac to defend her own soil. The re-
ports are that large numbers are already
leaving.
In Missouri the Federal troops under Nc
Clernand and Grant have, according to the
dispatch, achieved splendid victory. The
battle took place on Saturday last. Gen
Cheatham, st the head of rebel force,
crossed the river from Columbus, KY, and
made the attack, but vas repulsed with the
loss Of twelve cannon, and l3O prisoners.
We have no particulars Of the battle, but
the Federal loss is stated at one hundred
killed, and that of the rebels is said to be
heavy.
The news, in other respects, is not of spe-
ciaI interest. Gen. Halleck has been as
signed to the command of the Western De-
partment, in place of Fremont, and Price,
with his main force, is reported TO be forty
miles south of Springfield, planting cannon.
The Maryland election, which took place
on the 9Th, resulted 10 the triumph Of the
Union men. The disunionists have elected
only seven members to the Legislature,
and Bradford's majority is stated at $4,000.
He was the Union candidate for Governor.
Major-General Buell. is appointed to the
command Of the Department of Kentucky
Gen. Sherman returning to the army of
the Potomac.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-The San Diego
correspondent of Los Angeles paper
writes as follows concerning fearful tami-
ly quarrel:
Two immigrants had an alteration on Mon
day last, at Valecito, in this county, which re-
suited in the death Of both of them. They were
both from Texas, and had been quarreling all
along the route, but brought their quarrel to a
focus here by fighting. One was armed with a
Colts revolver, the other with double-barreled
shotgun. They fred two shots apiece; both of
the first shots missing, and both of the second
shots taking effect, one in the breast and the
other in the abdomen. Their names were Buck
and Roland, and they we're brothers-in-law,
and their families were present at the time of
the difficulty.

BATTLE IN MIssoURL-The following dis
patch, dated at ST. Louis, Nov. 9Th, was re.
ceived 10 San Francisco on Sunday:
There has been terrific fighting to-day between
the Federal forces and rebels at Belmont, Mis-
souri,, opposite Columbus, Ky. The Confeder-
ates crossed over the Mississippi and gave bat
tie. According to reports about 300 killed on
each side. The Federal forces were commanded
by Gems. McClernrnd and Grant, and the Con-
federates by Gen. Cheatham.
Later dispatches, published in the Union
of this morning, state that the Federal
troops were victorious, capturing one hum
dred and thirty prisoners and twelve can
non. The fight took place at Belmont, Mo-,
some twenty or thirty miles below Cairo.
One hundred Federal troops are reported
killed, showing that the fight must have
been pretty severe. The rebel loss is said
to be great, but the number Of killed aud
wounded is not given.

An Editor EXiied.

The Toronto (Canada) Lcdder Furnishes q
| long letter from Z. Z. LovERIDGB, Esq, editor
| of the Troy Neus, a Democratic paper, pub
| Iished in Troy, N. Y, who was driven away
| by mob violence from that city and forced to
take refuge under the protection of the English
| flag. Mr.. LovERIDGB is New Yorker, who
| had however, resided in Texas, where he mar
| riel, and had thus possessed an opportunity
| of viewing the civilization of the two secti ons
with an impartial eye. Upon his return to Troy,
| Mr. LovERIDGE urged through his journal, the
| NcWs, :" No coercion-no civil war-the recog-
| milton of the Confederate States inevitable
| no Protective TarifI-the MONROE doctrine
| must BIO carried out by both Confederacies-
| the States are sovereign-their rights must be
| guaranteed" The news Of the bombardmeDt
| Of Sumter set the multitude of Troy, like that
! of other Republican holes, mad with rage and
| as the only retaliation in their power they
| commenced q bombardment Of newspaper
| Offices. The mob assaulted Mr.. L0vERiDGE
and threatened to kill him, but he turned upon
them gallautly, and for time kept them at
| bay, the cowardly rutiians showing az usual
that the bark Of mob is worse than its bite.
The Mayor, however, to prevent the evident
murder that was designed, arrested Mr.. LOVER
IDGE and had him conveyed from the scene of
danger, advising him to remain away till the
excitement had cooled. He is now under the
shelter Of the English flag. Who could have
believed year ago that citizens of the L. S.
| would have been compelled by the party of
| freedom" to fly from the " free North to the
| dominions of . monarchy for having exercised
the right of "free speech" Mr.. LovERIDGE
| concludes bis letter az follows:
"Facts like these show conclu sively that
this war ia the French Revolution, with the
| add tional horrors of the eeryile element. A
suspected man is unsafe. To keep your mouth
| shut will not do. You must endorse the war.
You must obey the mob.
"Perhaps ! am the first of the emigrants
from the other side of the line, but shall not
be the last. This excitement must run its
fearful length. 1t is no longer question be-
| tween North and South alone, but between
freemen OF the same section.
" 1t is not pleasant TO be an exile but 1t is
better than to be the slave of the mob. If 'to
time then all can say is, cannot look like
these days of blood l had rather have free
speech, and bear free heart even though I'M
der the protection of a throne, than feel was
a coward, the tool of the vilest OF all despot-
isms, that OF frantic, vicious mob, who seize
on times like these to wreak their coarse
hatreds on truer and better men"

Northern and Southern Nations.

Various Black Republican journals are in
spring the courage Of their readers with the
assertion that " Southern nations have never
easily subdued" All the young Wide Awakcs
said to be repeating this etupendous his
torical discovery at the various bar-rooms. and
to imagine themselves for the time ALExAy
pERs, CEsARs, and NAPoLEoNs, gloriously
oblivioug of the fact that each of those con-
aucrors of the world was of Southern cline.
The Day Book reminds the valiant ignora-
muses. that Southern nations have done far
more than their share of the conquering bust
ness since history begun. The Greeks, Ro-
mans, the Arabs under MAHoMEr, and the
Spaniards under PHILIP, were Southern slave
holders. The Southern Moors penetrated the
North to Vienna, and but for the valor of So
BIEsKI, would have mastered all Europe. If
| Rome fell before ALARIc, it was because its
| own legions sided with the invader. In reply
| to the foolish boast that the South can be sub
| jugated in six months, the Day Book says:

elected who will do ito carry on the suiei-
DIAL work OF sublugating a free people. Napo-
leon declared that mo nation attached to its
| institutions and its form of government can ev-
| er be conquered" His own invasion of Russia
and his Peninsular wars in Spain, had severely
impressed this lesson upon his mind. The
| Spanish Armada of Philip II. gives a strong
| hint in the same way. The Pelopeneoian civ ii
| WAR OF thirty years, or Of Hannibals six
| teen years invasion Of Italy, might, one would
think, teach our madmen something, If they
| would sit still long enough to think about It,
| Then, there is the Spanish invasion of the
| Netherlands, which gives lesson, 100. All
| history is full enough of lessons, If men would
| only get their senses long enough 10 think
about them. Ask England what her expert
| ence was in ''conq uering' the Few poor and
scattered colonists on this continent, aud she
| will tell you that those few men who stood
up in the House of Lords and said -" NJ v
Lords, you cannot conquer America" were
the only sane men in England, while all the
rest, the king included, were mad.

their own purpose, they raised the ensign of

the event in the New York Express:

A Fatal Admission.

The N. Y. Times openly declares that the
large fleet sent to Charleston was not intended
to attack the Carolinians, but simply to pro-
ovke them to fire upon Fort Sumter, for the
purpose of thereby exciting the public mind
in the Northern States. The Times rejoices
in the success Of the device, which, in its low
cunning and inhumanity. is altogether worthy
of the ''powers that be" at Washington.
