FORT MONROE, Nov IA physician of the
United States Navy, sent to Norfolk on Monday
with flag of truce by Gen. Wool on some bus
mess of his own, was brought back this after.
noon by flag of truce. He reports that tele-
graph dispatches were received to-day at Nor
folk that our feet was then (the 9TH inst. .)bom-
harding Port Royal, South Carolina, and that
the work on both sides was sharp and hot
Two of the transports, one supposed to be the
Ocean Express, having ammunition on board,
and the Union, carrying horses, were lost du-
ring the gale. The telegraph at Norfolk is in
constant operation, bringing dispatches from
the scene of operation, The widest excite
ment prevails among the rebels at Norfolk, also
among the people at this point. The Union
was a new vessel, built in New York, and in
tended for the use of the Quartermaster De
partment here. She was a very fast sailer, land
proposed to be the return vessel to bring the
news OF the result. The supposition is that Port
Royal is reduced, and that our troops have eff
tected landing by this ame. Tomorrow we
expect particulars, as 4 vessel is hourly expect
ed.
Nov. S.-The Old Point boat has arrived. A
flag of truce was sent to Norfolk Yesterday, but
brought no news whatever of the feet.
Yesterday the gun-boat Rescue went M the
Rappahannock as far as Urbanna Creek. OFF
the mouth of the creek she captured a small
schooner, from which she took all her stores and
movable property, and burned her to the wa
ter's edge. The Rescue was fred upon by q
masked battery on shore. The fire was return
ed, and the rebels were completely shelIed out.
The commander of the Rescue occupied the en-
tire day in Smelling every spot where there were
indications of the presence Ofrebel troops
The Rescue and the Cambridge would return
to the Rappahannock river today, and she'll the
woods, where rebel force is supposed to be.

There never existed any necessity in this Sfa,e
for Republicans TO abandon their party efganl
cation the Republican party is the Unioh PAL
ty it is not known to have disunionist IN its
ranks. Among all the dsunion speeches made
in Congress and in State Legislatures IN past
years, not one was ever made by Republ1can.
The Administration of the country IS Kepubt1-
can the Administration is pledged to pr. down
treason and rebellion Republicans and all 10y
al citizens propose to stand by tie Administra-
ton in this hour of National peril. All loyal
men, of whatever party name, would naturally
affiliate with RepubIi cans in their determination
to stand by the Government Those who do
not care to Sustain the Government without
having considerations of Office or patronage held
out to them,ar not worth seeking after in times
like these. Will any one pretend the Republ-
can sentiment is not sufficiently in advance to
meet the present crisis in our history? If $50,
how is it to be improved by the incorporation
of W hat has heretofore been regarded as pro-
slavery element? We are by no means the ad-
vocates of party exclusiveness we would have
the door opened wide for all who love freedom,
to come in and unite with as and be of us; to
help defend the Government of our country
against traitors at home and abroad, and share
in the political honors, which of right ought to
be awarded to true merit and patriotism.

rhe New we.sern General.

Now that General Hunter has taken com
mand Of the Western army, it is well to look
up the antecedents Of the new Commander A
friend who enjoys personal acquaintance with
him, furnishes Us with the following synopsis Of
his career:
David Hunter is native of New Jersey
He entered the army as Second Lieut.. of the
Fifth Infantry, July lst, 1922 After the close
of the Sank war, regiment of dragons was
raised of which Gov. Dodge of Wisconsin, was
Colonel, and Gen. Hunter and President jeff.
DBvis we're Captains.
In 1886 Gen. Hunter, then Captain of the
dragons, resigned and became partner in the
house of Kinzie, Hunter & Co., Of Chicago
In 1912 he re-entered the army as Paymaster,
and continued in that department till his ap-
pointment of Colonel OF the cavalry in June
last. II married daughter of the late John
Kinzie, one Of the early pioneers of the West.
He is brother-in-law Of John II. Kinzie, now
Payrnaster in the army.
He is brave, honest and perseyering. He en-
joyed the confidence of Gov Dodge, aud is well
known to the old settlers of Milwaukee and
Wisconsin. A better man, we think, could
hardly have been selected for the position, lift
was necessary that some one should supercede

q curiosity. imagine their dress and arms are
very much like that of our forefathers who fodght
so bravely the battles of the Revolution My visit
to the field Of action the next morning sad
one, indeed. My blood chilled at the terrible
sights. Some, with hands folded across the breast
seemed to be but sleeping, yet cold and rigid in
the embrace of the great destroyer. Others had
left marks ola fearful struggle their lifes blood
bathed the sod in scarlet hue One man hadre-
ceived shot in the head, causing the brain to
out, get breathing. oh, shudder at the thoughts
occasioned; much more the sight of such living
death. Another had been eaten by the hogs, until
the face was but mass Of bones Never did
think of or realize the horrors of battle field till
that morning, and hope for no more to convince
me OF the truth We were called to camp the
morning after the battle by the cry of " To arms
The enemy are upon us !! !" which proved to be
ruse for calling the men to quarters, as they were
burning houses and ransacking every building in
the city. Thsy were so incensed against the PEG
pie to think they should allow us to be taken in
such an ambuscade as was prepared for us, that
they were almost " lid. About a dozen ofthe most

by the commander, it was not deemed advisable
Ito advance any farherin the pursuit. The rebels
are scattered too much and jeff Thompson fled to

At noon we return to Fredericktown, passing
mile or two on, we camp for the night. By ma

the beautiful hills beyond Fredercktown, and in
half an hour more can see the Court House. 1t Is

the expedition from Ironton which reached the
place at this morning. The rebel force left in
great haste the day before for Greenville, forty
miles south, hearing of our Intentions also secur-
ing our messenger to the Ironton forces supposing
that by doing so they had stopped that force from
advancing until they should hear from us but by
marching all night they had arrived some five hours
before us. Resting an hour, we marched into the
city, taking the head of The column for Greenville,
the leading band playing "Get out the wilderness"
and the Ironton forces following.
We are scarcely a mile out before Cavalry
scouts report jeff. Thompson and his men with
masked batteries on the hills opposite, about 700
yards Distant and also Col. Lowe, with 800 rebels

ny taking the extreme right, the different reg-

in the plan of the battle enclosed. In ten minutes
from the time Of the alarm, we had our guns
planted, and were firing round shot at the rebels
on the hills opposite, No. firing the first shot,
which is said to have killed one of their gunners
After second shot, they return the compliment,

few yards below us in the road. They open fire
on US, with three other guns, on the opposite hills,
TO our right, round shot striking the left whee
of our gun, tearing quite a piece out of our tire
and breaking the wood work, but not disabling
the gun. We continued firing both shot and shell

we were perfectly safe, being covered byE the hill
from which we had first fred No. gun was
short distance to our left and did good execution
by firing Tito the rebels as they driven up the
hill by our infantry. After half an hours firing
four Ironton pieces came to the field, and took

rounds each. Other shots from the enemy's bat
