her friends reside. many of whom are in

she is the boss Of the shop. and possesses
unbounded influence over Mr.. Old Abe.

it would be very easy matter for her to
communicate with confidential agents. in

that the meanest work of treason is being

Later from Fort Pickens.


New YoRK, Nov. 26.
The Herald's Fortress Monroe dispatch
says. by flag of truce from Norfolk.
some news had reached there from Fort
Pickens and Port Royal.
Fort Pickens opened fire on Saturday
morning, but the firing was mild.
It was stated that Fort Pickens had
been preached, when the firing ceased.
The rebels sustained no loss, but the Union
forces were heavy losers.
The widest excitement prevailed at
Norkolk. Bragg sent congratulatory dis
patches all over the South. From the
same source it is learned that at Beaufort,
three companies of Gen. Sherman's COM
mand had an engagement with rebels. but
were forced to retreat with q loss of eight
men.
Beaufort is being intrenched BY our
forces.
