Washington, Nov. l3.-Commodore Dupohts .
official dispatch to Secretary Wells contains no.
thing of additional interest, being mostly a short
narrative of events. Accompanying the dis
patches were several trophies captured, flags
aud two brass cannon lately belonging to the
State Of South Carolina. A list of casualties
is also recorded Total killed 8, wounded se-
verely 6, slightly wounded l7--total killed and
wounded 81. 81 .tI
The fort on Hilton Head was severely Grip
pied and many Of the guns dismounted. Much
slaughter had evidently been made there among
the rebels, many bodies having been buried in
the fort, and some 20 or 80 found some halfa mile
distant
On taking possession of Beaufort, il was found
to be abandoned to the negroes, who were hold
ing high carnival.
| The following is an extract from private let
ter from an officer engaged in the lombard
ment
Our success has been complete, and terror
runs over the whole country. The negroes are
wild and plundering their masters houses
The whites have been driving the negroes away
by force and shooting them down, but they still
escape to our gun boats. The moment General
Drayton took to his horse on the panic of the
Tth, his 300 servants went directly to the Wa
bash. This is worthy of notice as putting
down the nonsense that the slaves were ready
to fight for their masters. They surrounded
Capt. Ammen in crowds at Beaufort, one of them

Tho Springfield correspondent of tho 81.
Louis Democrat writes:
Numerous single handed fights occurred
on Friday evening on tho outskirts Of the
city, between pursued and pursuers, the
history of which will probably never be
known. Dead bodies are still ever now
and then found in out-ofthe-way places on
the prarie or in the woods surrounding the
city. Yesterday a most impressive tableau
des morris was discovered on the prarie about
three miles from town. One Of Major
Whites men had, il would seem, had n
mortal conflict with two of the enemy
All three of them were lying dead on the
ground. One Of the rebels was completely
pierced through the body by the sabre oi
dragoou, who himself was evidently killed
by a shot from the revolver of bis antagon
ist. Tho other rebel had probably been
shot by the dragoon before the encounter
with the foe dispatched by the sabre
There they all three laid, friends and foe
in close proximity to one another-the dra
goon still firmly graspiDg the sabcr, fast
in the body Of his foe, who in return was rs
firmly cioging to his revolver, pointed to-
ward the dragoon whose breast had recciv-
ed one Of its balls.

them TO their houses OH various ptetexts, and all
who were off duty accepted the invitation
While they were being entertained, at about
half-past eight o'clock at night, the rebel caval-

from every house where Federal soldiers were,
and into these houses the rebels rushed murder

ARri,IInnt LittIe Fight.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, writing from Camp Calvert, KY, on
the 9TH Nov, says:
Adjutant Carpenter of the Second Ten
nessee was sent last week to his native
State on Army business. On Monday last,
when about AZ miles west of this camp,
near Boston, in Whitley county, KY, he
learned that band of freebooting rebels
had secured the pass, and that he must eli
ther abandon his horse, and go on foot thro'
the by-paths, or else fight. AS brave man
he chose the latter alternative. Returning
to Boston, he gathered together twenty-five
Home Guards, seven of whom were cow
ards and fell off by the way-side. One of
the remaining fifteen was traitor as Judas
Of old, and fred upon the Adjutant and his
gallant fourteen. Stea!thily creeping up
the mountain gorge at midnight, like
panthers waiting for their prey, they shot
the sentinel alarmed the rebels, who tum-
bled out Of the house aud spraug to their
saddles, eight of which were emptied 10 a
moment, and with three of their horses the
Adjutant galloped of bringing them safe
into camps gallant exploit, worthy rev.
olutioDary hero. The mountaineers are not
idle. Two day is the average number Of
rebels ''put to Sleep" Bushwhacking is de-
populating that country Of secessionists.

The Germans of St, Louis were much ex-
cited on Wednesday night, because of there

his house; but this report having been con
tradcted, the visit was not made. Frank
