SIR. LOUIS, Nov. 1850 p M-Advices from
Springfield. in this State, MOL inform US that the
main body Of the Union forces were Withdrawing.
The destination Of the Withdrawing troops is not
known Ii is, however, snrmised that they are
bound South
The entire Rebel force. under Price, was going
South at a rapid rate, ut last accounts.
Mr.. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, has issued
n proclamation declaring Beaufort to be n port of
entry. IL is believed that the Federal forces have
captured large quantities of cotton near that port.
The folio wing relating to the ATTACK on and capture
of Pensacola, is from the San Francisco Herald of
the 25tn of November.
During several hours yesterday the Herald Office
was throngei by a multitude of citizens, who were
anxious TO learn the particulars of the important
news from St Louis in relation to the capture Of PEN
sacola by the United States forces. Our dispatch is
short, but very comprehensive, We are informed
that after a bOmbardmeut of twenty hours Pensacola,
and all connected hererih - fell in the posses
sion of the Federal troops We presume our cores
pendent means that the navy yard and the adjacent
fOrti6cations aud settlements opposite to Fort Pick
ems fell into our possession, because the town of
Pensacola must be from twelve to fifteen miles distant
from Fort Pickens. When Gen Bragg was in COM
maud OF the Confederates he erected some thirteen
batteries to protect the navy yard from assault so
il will be seen that the bOmbardmeut must have been
q severe one, and probably attended with great loss
of life. The Importance OF this victory cannot be
overestimated. Not only will the Navy Yard be Of
service as a recruiting station to the blockaiing feet,
the armada now in Port Royal, and all other naval
expeditions which may be sent South but the
moral effect of the triumph Of our forces will newt
ably hurry into n panic the fright with which the
cotton States have been seizei since the events at
Hat;eras and Beaufort. As n matter OF course, If
the Unitel States forces desire the possession of the
town Of Pensacola and the Alabama and Florida
railroad. Of which that place is the terminus they
can easily get IL. because there is no obstacle now in
their way.
Our dispatches also inform US that the fotilIa in
tended for operations along the Mississippi river, is
almost ready FOR operations Well may the Rich
moui phig be despOndent, for the grand army Of
the rebels tn Virginia will scarcely be able to pre-
serve its morals when the information reaches the
soiiiers that their homes have been aud are about
10 be attacked at so many different points We
should not be surprised if within a week to hear Of
the retreat from the OH Dominion Of Davis, Belure-
gard and their fellow cOnspirators.
Ben Mccullough is reported to be advancing
North with " n very large force" In his army, we
presume, are inclu led Prices forces. We anticipate
that there is sharp work in prospect for General
Halleck.
