It would be rather lonesome to take

that she thought he would not be taken
prisoner. Well, next morning, some
secesh cavalry came along and took
the Nermonter prisoner, though she
begged and prayed of them to let him
alone, as she had promised that he
should not be touched: but they took
him, and she left her home, saying that
she feared the Union people would
burn her house, and say that she did it
on purpose.

DANIEL S DICKINSON ON "PEACE
MEN."-At the Union meeting recently
held in New York, Daniel S. Dickin-
son made one of his most eloquent spec
ches IN favor ofthe war. Ofthe sspeace
men" he spoke as follows:
You, gentlemen, who are ouiveri,,o
IN your shoes, whoever YOU are-von
peace men, fly from the Sodom and Co
morrah OF treason while YOU have = :
cnance. Fly. The storm of popular in
dlgnatlon Is a good deal nearer ,bar
you Imagine, and the fire and birthstone
that Will be Sent upon you are not far
IN the distance. Don't stand there fall
terlng. The day of peace propositions
IS over. 1t IS treason now. You are
marked out as an object of Scorn. You
can no longer be in favor of the Union
with a dagger in your hand aimed at
its vltals. You can no longer be in ia
vor OF prosecuting the war and throw
ing querulous objections in the face of
the administration, besieged with every
difficulty. If you mean to aid the GOV
eminent, along with you, and shoulder
your muSket. If YOU don't, shoulder
your muSket and so into the opposition
ranks. Start off; we will give you a
good radiance, aud play you out to the
Rog0es' March. You can no longer be
upon both sides, in favor of your coun-
try and against it, in favor Of the Union
and against 1t, in favor of prosecuting
the war and against the administration
IN every demonstration that they can
make. No; the great ball is opened;
choose your partner and take your posi-
ton on the floor, and we will see wheth-
er YOU Will keep step to the music of
the Union or not.

miles up, and met rebels marching
down the narrow neck land to attack
our troops. The rebel steamers were
also landing troops to cooperate with
them. They were in easy range, and
the Monticello opened upon them with
shells, five seconds fuses, 2l9 of which
were fired from three guns in three
hours and thirty minutes, doing great
execution.
The Confederates at first tried to
shelter themselves, but soon broke in
every direction and took refuge upon
their vessels. A shell passed through
the wheel house Of the Eunny, which
was already employed against us.
1t is reported that their loss must
have reached $50 or 500 killed and
wounded. During the engagement
member Of the Indiana Regiment, who
had been ia ken prisoner, managed to
escape. He took to the surf and was
picked up by boat from the Month

the Monticello killed Col. Barlow. of
the Georgia Regiment, and that the
havoc was frightful. lie also reports
that when he escaped, he killed Con-
tederate captain with bis revolver.
Jefferson City, Oct. Inflammation
has been received here that about three
weeks ago slave insurrection was at
tempted in Jasper County, that about
thrty-fve of the negroes were killed
and q number Of others were to be
hanged. The discovery of the plot
proved that the insurrcction was wide
spread, and that the slaves intended to
murder their masters and perpetrate all
manner of barbarities.
st. Louis, Oct, 0.-There are re-
ports in town to night, by train that
Sigel bad a battle with Prices rear
guard, had taken six cannon and sew
erai dozen prisoners. No particulars.
1t is alleged that the news could not
be sent from Jefferson City, owing to
the refusal OF the authorities to send it
without consulting Fremont.
Washington, Oct. 9.-Com. Chaun-
cey arrived here this evening from Hat
teras Inlet. He reports that on Mon
day the rebels organized IN expedition
to attack and recapture the forts occu
pied by our forces. The expedition
consisted Of six steamboats, and about
5000 men. The steamers were arm
ed with heavy riled cannon and NOR
Lars for throwing shells. The attack
was Simultaneous out Intellectual. The
forts fired shells and were assisted by
the vessels off the inlet.
After time the rebels retired, though
not before two or three rebel steamers
had been sunk, amongthem the George
t02c1 with all on board. Judging from
the crowded appearance of the vessels.
it is estimated that about 700 men were
drowned, besides large loss must have
been sustained from the bursting of our
shells and the plunging of our shot, as
the guns were served in q most MASTER
ly manner.
