Important from the Expedition

Baltimore, November l2.-The substance of
the accounts of the United States expedition,
rs published in the Norfolk Day Book, has just
been received here.
1t Is therein stated that forty.two Federal
vessels made their appearance at Port Royal
One dispatch states that fifteen, and another
that seven vessels ran past the batteries at
Hilton Head and Island Point. 1t is also said
ono gunboat had been burnt, and that the fleet
had succeeded in blockading all the water com.
mu cations with Beaufort.
The rebels say that all their guns in the bat.
teres at Hilton Head and Island Point were
dismounted. The Charleston Mercury, in speak.
ing on this point, says it was occasioned by their
own recoil. IA rather remarkable statement
The latest dispatch is dated Thursday even
ing, November 7th, Ave P. NJ, saying "nve Fed
eral vessels are now In sight Of Beaufort. An
attack is expected tonight
The dispatches in the Norfolk Day Book are
for the greater part from the Charleston Mer.
curry.
Accounts are also given from Eastern Ten
nessee, indicating that Union men there are
moving. They are accused of cutting the tele
graph wires and burning bridges to thwart the
movements Of the rebels.
The following additional particulars have
come to hand:
The Charleston Mercury, of Friday, the Sth
instant, says the feet appeared of the mouth
of Broad river between nine and ten O'Clock
on Thursday morning, and, under cover Of n
heavy Are of seven Gone account says ffteen)
steamers, the whole feet passed the batteries
at Hilton Head and Bay Point, into Broad river
out Of the range Of the batteries.
Another account states that one Federal ves'
sci was burnt, and several crippled; while a
third account makes no mention Of any disas
ter.
The Confederates report their loss at the
batteries slight.
The Federal steamers closed up the mouths
of all the creeks, cutting off communication
with Beaufort, and drove Tatnall's mosquito
fleet toward Savannah.
A dispatch from Hendersonvlle, dated The
7th instant, P. M, attributes the III success o
the rebels to the bad practice of their artillery
men, who thus failed TO sink any vessels in pass
! ing the batteries.

steamship North Br on has arrived at Farther
Point in schooner. He reports that the North
Briton struck on Paraquet Island at O'Clock
in tho morning of the 5,h. II was then blowing

The following Is tho statement of Mr. Brown,
the third officer; When the shin struck It was
blowing II gale, and the weather was very thick.
The ship continued striking very hard on the
reef Tuesday night and all Wednesday, and it

wreck before 1t was loaded, and could not be
brought back till Tuesday morning, after day
light, when all the passengers were taken
off without accident. - transferred TO two
schooners, which l. I them at Port Mingan
At Port Mingan the p.Ssengers are housed in a
storehouse, having few blankets, which were
got from tho wreck, to sleep upon. The store
rooms were all under water, causing Il scarcity
of provisions. The lower cabin was all broke Ell
up, and most Of the baggage lost. Only a few
| of the mail bags were saved, and those were
perfectly saturated. When the schooner with
the third officer left for Farther Point, the otheI
schooner was cruising of the west end of Anti

The Barney Divorce Cnsc.

The argument Of Mr.. Davidge, on behalf ot
the respondent In this case, which was com
menced on Monday, was concluded yesterday
In relation to the Iowa decree, Mr.. d. denied
that the court there had any jurisdiction OF the
parties, and, therefore, that It was u nuiiy
He also quoted various authorities to show
that, rs the father, Mr.. B. is the guardi,u, H.
common law. OF his minor children and tGeiy
property, entitled as such 10 possession and
that this court has no authority to appuin'
during his lifetime.
On the point Of authority to turn out by the
orphans court, he held that even If it had
not Justify such action, as It does not sustain
at I'll the allegations which had been made. He
reviewed the Iowa decree, contending that rs
there was no personal notice served upon the
defendant as required by the Constitution OF
the U!ited States and the act Of Congress, the
ton; and showing, by the evidence, that A.
Mrs B. came to this country in NJ Y, 1860, and
Mr.. b. left the United States in May or juno
OF the same year, and did not return Till Octo
Der, (Mrs. b. having, in the meantime. pro
cured the divorce in September,) the whole
thing had not only been done during his nh
sence from the country, but that the Iowa law
itself had not been complied with, requiring
six months residence IN that State to Cntitlt
parties 10 the benefit Of the law of divorce.
In tho course of his argument. Mr.. D. ais
endeavored to show that this court could have
no c,gniZance of the case for a period of more
than II year past-sinOo tho death of Mrs. Bar
ney--up to which time he was their undsputeC
guardian; and that no witness in the case htt
endeavorod to dispute his uniform good con
duct since that time. He then proceeded criti
caliy TO review the evidence given by Alexan-
drine Parfait, claiming that there was the
greatest Inconsistency throughout, and also AS
serted that the evidence given by the witnossc!
for the petitioners entirely fu)ed TO prove lh'
accusations which had been made.
Upon the conclusion of Mr.. Davidge's re
marks, the case was adjourned over until Sat
urday next, whan Colonel Blount, one of tn,

Rolld, Mo. Nov. ll.-All our sick and wound
cd in Springfield, able to be moved, were to
leave there on Saturday night for st. Louis, and
orders have been given to have the rest start
as soon as they are able.
General Price had fallen back eight miles
from Cassville, near the State line, and was
moving south. It was believed to be reliably
ascertaned that his policy was to lead our
army on, but not 10 fght it-simply to keep a
large force there SO AS to draw troops from the
Mississippi valley.
There had been good deal of trouble Sbou
slaves who had escaped into Gen. Lanes ant
other camps, and Gen. Hunter had given own
ers permission to search our, camps and reclaim
them, If they could find them.
The ten missing men Of Gen. Fremont's body
guard had returned to Springfield from Cass
vile. They report Gen. Prices force to bt
about $4,000 strong, with thirty pieces of artil
lery, twelve pieces of which had recently beer
received from Memphis, whence other supplies
were being received.
