Union Victory in Western virginia,

A special despatch from Cheat Moutain to the
Cincinnati Commercial says that on the 18th, one
of the hardest and best fought battles of the war
was fought at Allegheny Camp, Pocahontas
County, Western VirginiA General R. IL. Mil
roy commanding the Union troops, and General
johnson, of Georgia, commanding the rebels.
The fight lasted from daylight till O'clock
p. NJ The Union loss is about thirty, and the
rebel loss over two hundred, including major
and many other officers. Thirty prisoners were
captured.
General johnson was shot in the mouth, but
not fatally injured The twelfth Georgia regi-
ment suffered most severely
Gen. Milroys force numbered 760 men, from
the ninth and thirteenth Indiana and the TWEEN
ty-ffth and thirty-second Ohio, and the second
Virginia regiment.
General Johnson's forces numbered over 1000
men.
The ninth Indiana fought bravely to the last.
After driving the enemy into their barracks no
less than five times, our forces retired in good
order
The rebels set fire to their barracks and re-
tired to Staunton.
Gen. Milroy has thus driven the last of the
rebel army out of Western Virginia.

Bombardment of Pensacola.

The following particulars are from detailed
account of the battle published in a Providence
paper, written on board the U. S. fleet.
The object was to destroy the Navyyard, so
as to put a stop to their use Of government pro-
perty and tools in building any more extensive
means Of defence, and to batter down some of
their Notifications. Orders were given to our
engineers to place bags filled with coal around
such portions of the machinery as were exposed
to shots, and nearly all the work was done which
is necessary to ''prepare ship for action"
Early on the morning of the 2lst, the flag
officer went on shore to confer with Col. Brown
in regard to preliminaries. At IL O'Clock he re-
turned and then we received orders 10 complete
all necessary arrangements. Orders were des-
patched to the Richmond and Montgomery, then
in port, giving them directions how to act, and
the word was passed that we should move in at
daylight, so as to engage Fort McRae, the water
battery, and the sand battery, just in front of
McRae, all three of which could bring their guns
to bear upon either Fort Pickens or the shipping.
\ I'VE could form no idea Of the strength Of these
places, but it was highly important that we
should draw their fire, as they enflladed the
parapet guns of Pickens. 1t had been arranged
that as room as the steamers came down from
Pensacola to the navy yard the fort was to open
FIRE 0pon them, so as to sink them il possible,
and cut off all means Of bringing down reinforce
ments from the town, and the first gun from the
fort was to be the signal for us to move in and
open FIRE.
About half-past nine We could see the steam
ers coming down to the navy yard, little sus-
pecting that their doom was sealed In very
short time they were fast to the dock, and at
lust twelve minutes Of ten we saw smoke issue
from Fort Pickens, aud heard the booming Of
the gun.
BY twelve O'Clock both the Richmond and
Niagara, together With the guns bearing from

WOULD Nor KISS A REBBL-A Cairo cor
respondent of the Missouri Democrat relates the
following incident;
On Sunday afternoon, December !, three
Rebel gunboats came in sight of Cairo firing into
Fort Holt, and arousing the forces at Cairo into
active preparations for an attack. The Lexing-
ton went down to them, and shots were fired
from Fort Cairo, when thoy retreated down the
river.
During the highest of the excitement several
ladies, most of them wives Of American officers
were in the parlor Of the ST. Charles Hotel,
sharing the excitement and watching the move
ments on the river. A Rebel named ChappelI,
belonging to jeff Thompson, who had been for
three days in Cairo, GENE into the parlor, and
in conversation with such as would consent to
hold intercourse with him, INDUCED in insulting
boasts and degraded illusions to our armies,
outragng those present by his bold and insulting
language.
Some left the room, while others freely ex-
pressed their indignation and disgust Finally
he called the child of an American officer, play
ing at its mothers side, little girl of three
years, and asked her 10 kiss him. She bash
fully hesitated, when he urged, "Come, won't
you kiss Rebel?" With the scornful air of an
indignant queen, she replied, mo, will not"
One Of the ladies unable to restrain her in
dignation, cried out, "That is right that ia
noble Never kiss q Rebel and traitor to his
country"
Several ladies and gentlemen now at Cairo
have made o subscription sufficient to procure n
handsome silver cup, to be given to the child az

Fort pickens and battery Scott, were all playing
into Fort McRAe and its surrounding batteries.
We averaged one shell every three minutes, and
as the Richmond had more guns, though smaller,
and more than our number Of guns were being
served from Santa Rosa, there were about two
shells each minute being fred at this point.
About one o'clock firing commenced from o
masked battery which disclosed itself in the
woods along the shore, and about mile south
| of MoRae.
| At two o'clock shell from one of our guns
set fire to a frame house in the rear Of McRae,
and much of the time the fort had been enveloped
in cloud of smoke. Soon after this fire broke
out, their flag staff was shot away, and the
symbol of treachery came down by the run
Subsequently it was raised again.
After We had become we'll engaged in thu
fight we hardly thought of or had time TO looi
at Fort Pickens. Once in while would cas-
a glance that way, and could see the semicircl
Of batteries around her were keeping up con
slant explosion of shell over her loyal walls
while from out her side their came stead
stream of smoke, and could see that the shot
took good effect. We had already made tw
good holes in McRae, and Pickena had knocke
hole that horse and cart might enter in.

srIRRING NEWS.

The late news from England is of an exciting
character. AS might have been expected, the
people of Great Britain became considerably ex-
asperated at the noble act of Com. Wilkes; and
while in that state, said many things which they
will feel ashamed of when they come back again
to moments of reflection. Meanwhile, the British
press is fighting bloody and desperate war
with the Administration at Washington, for not
But English newspapers, like some of those in
America, bluster and fuss good DEAL aud raise
terrible excitements almost amounting to actual
war, but which mean nothing in the end. The
British government is, doubtless, reviewing the
case calmly aud with a due regard to the rights
of all parties; and although there is no disguis-
ing the fact that England does not feel very
friendly to the United States, we still believe
the advisers of Queen Victoria will not be so
foolish as to precipitate war on so fimsy
pretext.
We advise our people, therefore to keep calm
and cool A great deal of the stuff we read in
the papers is mere editorial bosh, without foun-
datiou in truth and designed for the purpose
of accomplishing purely sinister ends Let US
await the development of facts; and, while
hoping for the best, quietly but resOlutely nerve
ourselves to meet the worst, and do our duty ms

liberty and humanity.

THANKSGIVING SERMoN.-The able sermon
preached by Rev. ]. Crockar White, Of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, at Dover, on Thanks
giving day, shall appear in the Journal of Friday.
Tho demand for the sermon has made it's pubi-
cation, even at this late day, necessity. 1t
will be read with equal interest and satisfaction
by all who are opposed to this vile rebellion o
traitors. We are told that the enunciatiOu o.
the sound Union sentiments the sermon contains
greatly annoyed the e6ete politicians Of Dover
OF course it did. But as they are POLITICAL,

nATn FOREIGN NEWS.

By the arrival of the Hamd at New York We
have news from Europe.
A numerous party of loyal Unionists met in
st. James street, London, to celebrate, by
dinner, the victory of Port Royal The company
heartily approved that General Scott should be
entertained at q banquet in London.
building of seven stories, in High street,
Edinburgh, suddenly fell, burying nearly the
whole of the inmates in the ruins. The house
was several centuries old the whole gave way
at once, collapsing inwards % bodies have
been taken out dead, and about II injured. The
immense block of buildings was densely popu-
lated, and it is estimated that not less than 100
people must have dwelt in it.
The Federal Council of Switzerland had de-
manded satisfaction from France for a fresh
violation of Swiss territory by French gems
Gdrmes near Geneva. The rebel steamer
Bermuda arrived at Havre on the oath, from
Savannah, with two thousand bales of cotton'
and was discharging on the 25th.

The City Of Washington arrived on Sunday,
bringing later and more important news.

tion of the press, denOuncine it in the strOnges'
terms, and active naval preparations are making.
The Paris Pdtris has an editorial foreshadow-
ing the disposition of France to recognize the
Southern Confsderacy, if England sets the ex-
ample.
The London Times predicts three things to inn
mediately follow an outbreak with the United
States, namely-the destruction of the Southern
blockade, the complete blockade of the Northern
ports, and the recognition Of the Southern Con-
federacy by France and England.

CAMr HAMILTON, Fortress Monroe, Va,
Thursday night Dec. II, 1861.
FRIEND EoKgL;
1t we were preparing un clabo-
rate history Of this warke locality, with an ao-
count of its resources, we would sum up the pro-
ducts thus emaciated pies, rifed cannon. sleek
faced contrabanis, wild ducks, regimental
music, charming moonlight scenes, blue uni
forms, sweet potatoes, camp diseases, thirty.two
Founders, corn bread at the negroes stalls,
soldiers letters, suter stores, drills, squad com.
pany, regimental and brigade oysters as big
as small rock seutincls at every turn, pre-
pared if your shoulder straps are not visible, to
demand "your pass, sir;' saturated pine wood,
occasional hags of truce, canoes holoweI out of
tree, small traders, soap, grease and colds.
To continue the description: stranger on
his arrival, at oDce is forced to the conclusion
that this place is highly commercial one, as
there are 50 many vessels Of various kinds ia the
harbOr, and TINT as commerce is one of the ele-
ments Of greatness, Old Point must certainly be
in u very prosperous condition Another fact
that impresses him very spiritedly is the exist
enCe of the Maine liquor law or some other
equally stringent law lie may be as dry as
Falsiaif after one of his fatiguing exploits; his
tongue may be as devoid of moisture as a piece
of charred sole leather. and as parched ms pop
corn in an oven, so that it ceaycth to the roof
Of his mouth, but no friendly glass with its
vivifying and inspiritng cordial is raised to lis
craving lips, and if perehnnoe he should sec
some fellow whose spiritual condition was most
exalted by certain little imbitions, or in other
words is drunk, lie regards him as rather a smart
specimen, as quite genius in his way, worthy
Of his profoundest respect and deserving Of {.
reward or promotion for his instructive sense Of
finding the Granny in which the Intoxicating os.
sence could be had
-@Another feature that impresses him ns soon n5
he moves away flum the wharf is the mass Of
cannon balls on his LETT, which may lr estimated
not by the pile, but by the acre. After he has
entered the town and seen the yellow cottages
with flower yards in front lining She shore. and
the Ilygeia Hotel once the resort Of fashionable
pleasure seekers, but now concerted into Nam

next fact that worms its way INTO bis mind, is
that the Fortress is a tremendous Affair." and that
if an enemy should happen TO make sudden ir-
rupton, that is the very spot he slaoud make
for, since discretion is said to be the better part
of yalor,

Mr.. Salisbury is in fair way to have his
hair raked out little, in consequence of his
foolish "COmmissiOn' project Not only was be
laughed at outright at the time lie offered his
nonsense to the Senate, but he is now being
pretty severely tongue dashed by his Confederate
friends of the South, by way Of thanks for his
efforts in their behalf "Negro thief and pirate"
are not the most choice terms, though they may
be the most expressive of the fact, to use lo-
wards friend who is doing his best to save
from the punishment they deserve, certain other
"negro thieves and pirates"
But Mr.. salisbury made his bed in that way
and now he must rest his old political bones III il
just as it is.
For the benefit of our readers, we give an ex
tract or two from the Norfolk Day Book of tht
9th inst, on Mr.. Saulsbury's proposition. 1t is
rather strange that his attempt to kiss the ugly
old creature, secession, through the medium of +
Commission, should be called "dog- edf-d2g'

will find quite as much virtue in that article a
they would be likely 10 fad in the combined wi:

for them, being composed of such despicablt
God-forsaken seoundrels as were never rake
