Among those compelled to take the oath Of
allegiance is Mr.. F. j. Morena, the brother in

In the point were two English and one
French frigate.
1t was reported that the English and French
naval OfllcerS were TO nave q meeting to decide
upon and report that the blockade is totally in

Manassas, October 22.-General Evans, with
$500 Confederales, engaged General Stone

boats thirty feet long.
This attack on the squadron in the MIssls-
sippi together with the recent attack on the
lndianna Regiment in Pamlico Sound, are the
last desperate efferts of the rebel leaders. =
They know that powerful expeditions are COM
ing to capture their ports, and they antlcl-
pate the blow, and manufacture capital IN ad-
vance out of perhaps what Will turn out to be
a very small affair. But whether it was SO
decided SUCCESS as was represented or not, is

WHAT'S SAID OF THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
sWAsHIGGToN, Oct. 15.-The flaming report,
derived from rebel sources of the destruction
of our block al x squadron at the mouth OF
the Mississippi, is regarded here as ridiculous
canard, manufactured by that notorious brag-
CART Hollins, who is known throughout the ma
w as an umitigated romancer in regard to his
own exploits.
SKETCH OF GEO. N. HoI.LINs, COMMANDER OF TIE
REBEL NAVY.
The New York Herald accompanies the
news with the following sketch of Commodore
Hollins:
Captain Geo. H. Hollins, the officer in COM
mand of the rebel naval force that attacked the
blockading feet at the Mississippi, was, before
the breaking out of the present rebellion. a
prominent officer in the u S. navy but, like
many Others he preferred linking his fate with
that of the rebellious States than to remain
true and loyal to the Union that he had served
for so many years. He was born IN the State
of MARYLAND, but is citizen of Florida, in
which State he probably received his secession
sentiments His original entry into the navy
was February /, 1914, and his last commission
was in 1855. He has been in the service near
ly At years. II of which he passed on the sea,
II in duty on the shore, and the balance of the
time was unemployed. At the time he left the
service he was in command of the Susquehanna.
Among the vessels that he commanded are the
following:
He was chief officer Of the Savannah in 1874,
when she was the flag ship of Commodore A.
J. Dallas and he commanded the Cyane in
1914, and again in the years 1852 and 1861
With the exception of the bombardment of
Greytown, which, at the time, crea ed such a
feeling among the people, nothing of note has
marked his naval career, ndprobabiy had the
present troubles not arisen he would have con-
tinued on in the same way, respected by his
fellow officers and an ornament to the service.
Since the rebellion he has been actively en-
gagged in trying to injure the Union cause, and
it will be rendered that he was joined with the
notorious ''French lady in the seizure of the
steamer Nicholas, at Baltimore, which person
is now enjoing the pleasure of Fort Lafayette.
Whether continued success shall attend his ef-
forts (provided the present one be true) remains
to be seen.

The above ticket is abundantly satisfactory

Despoi your liberty
Yield weapon mp to man,
While ye can strike and see,
Awake, each gallant yeoman,

How, won your gallant sires
The country which we keep?

The soil on which ye weep!
Leap up their spirit fire.
And rouse ye from your sleep!

GLORIOUS NEWS FROM THE POTOMAC-A
BRILLIANT VICTORY IN THE NEIGH
BOURHOOD OF LEESBURG.
Dispatches were received yesterday after
non, giving accounts of brilliant victory Of
our arms on the banks of the Potomac.
\ number of reports were circulated of the
affair. but, to secure the most authentic ntelli-
gcnce and to put it beyond all popular
doubts of its reliability, were so fortu-
nate to obtain copy Of the following Off
cial dispatch of Gen, Johnston himself
HEADQUARTERS, CENTREvILLE
Octber %, 1861
10 General "copper".
Colonel Evans reports that he was engaged
most of the day yesterday with twelve regi-
ments and five batteries of the enemy near the
Potomac. They had crossed under cover of
artillery fire. He drove them back with
heavy loss in killed, two hundred prisoners
and six field pieces taken. He had four regi-
ments and five guns
e JOHNSON.
Further dispatches received at the War De-
partment state that Colonel Baker-recently
we believe promoted to Major -Generalship in
the Federal army-was among the killed. In
formation was also obtained that among the
prisoners taken by Col. Cogswell and
ten other officers.
The regiments in Col Evans command were
from Mississippi and Virglnia-the three Mis-
sissippi Regiments being commanded, respec-
lively, by Colonels Featherstone, Burt and
Barksdale.
The action was fought by General Evans, as
has been his popular title for some time past
a Colonel. His appointment to the rank of
Brigad er-General had just been sent up the
day before, having been made on the express
| recommendation of Gen. Beauregard, who re-
marked at the time his gallantry on the field of
Manassas.
General Baker, who is reported among the
enemy's killed, will be recollected as United
States Senator from the State of Oregon He
served with distinction in the Mexican war
was since a member of Congress from Mis-
souri, emgrated to California, where he long
held a leading position at the bar; and being
disappointed in an election to Congress from
that State, removed to Oregon, where he was
returned United States Senator to Washington
In the opening of the war, he raiseda California
regiment and, at the last session of the Federal
Congress, distinguished himself by his extreme
views OF the subjugatlon of the South and its
! reduction to "Territoriar' condition He
was man of many accomplishments, of more
! than ordinary gifts of eloquence and, outside
of his political associations, was reported to be
| brave and chivalerous.
| P. S.-The late dispatches received at the
War Department last night represent our victo-
/ ry as much more complete than the foregoing
accounts would seem to imply. Telegraphic
accounts received at the Department, as late as
10 O'Clock last night represent the loss ofthe
enemy in killed and wounded at about 1000,
