TRIBUNE's DISPATCH.

Fort MONROE, Nov. I2.--The position at
Beaufort will be made permanent basis of
operations. The feet stood within 500 to
l,00o feet of the Forts, using Eve second
fuses aud poured shells into them at the
rate of 1000 per hour. Not a single shell
sent by the rebels burst on the ships The
Wabash was struck several times, as was
most of. the feet, but every ship was in
fighting condition when the rebels took to
their heels. A surgeon of Fort Walker
was killed.
At Charleston, the next day thirteen
minute guns were fired, indicating the bu-
rial of Brigadier-General.
The troops had not occupied Beaufort,
when the steamer left, being better engag-
ed IN strengthening their position

WHEELING, VA. FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER l. 1861.

where they have been up to last Sunday.
They left the rebels last Sunday even
ing. Crawford and Heron were released
by writ of habeas corpus. Crawford was
handed the secession mail bag while in
Monterey, on his way here. Hewas good
secesh while in Monterey, and the Com
manding General gave him Il pass through
to St. George, to deliver the mail to that
Csecesh) postofice, hut when he got to St.
George, he says, he forgot to leave the mail
bag there, and so brought it to this place,
(Grafton,) for General Kelley to examine.
He found that General Kelley had left here
on Thursday last, for Romney, to disperse
the rebels at that place. General Kelley
moved on Romney Friday night at twelve
o'clock, and we have not heard anything
from him since.
Crawford is n Pittsburger; he left Pitts
burg on the 18th of May last, with the
Sumter Guards, but afterwards changed to
the Logan Guards, to go into the First
Virginia regiment. He was Second Lieu
tenant of Capt. Robinson's company. All
of his company thought he was either
dead or at Richmond, and will be glad to
hear that he is well and safe at Grafton.
He says he has never had half enough to
eat, and they never gave him any blanket
or anything else but the bare floor to sleep
on. He says coffee is only fifty cents a
pound, sugar twenty five, beef twenty, ba-
con twenty five, and everything else scarce;
the rebels are very well clothed but poorly
fed. Flour is not very dear-only 81 %
q barrel.
They made him she'll corn for two weeks
when he was first taken.
Crawford says the rebels at Greenbrier
on the mountains are dying faster than
our men can kill them.

rhe Army up the Kanawha.

We learn from Dr. Griswold, U. s. Saui-
tary Inspector, who has just returned from
tour of inspection up the Kanawha, that
our army under Gen. Rosecrans is at pres
ent in state of rest, and measurably re-
covered from the terrible exposure at Sew
all Mountain to the severe rains and cold
that fell upon them with fearful effect
DR.. Griswold has been through fourteen
regiments, and obtained the most exact
statistics with regard to the health, the
discipline, subsistence, clothing, and gen.
eral sanitary condition of our troops. He
reports them generally we'll clothed-a few
exceptions only in overcoats, blankets and
winter blouses. The subsistence is gem
orally reported good, so far as the Govern
ment can supply. In all those means of
comfort, for which an army depends upon
the surrounding country, of course there
are great deficiencies, as there are scarcely
any supplies to be had in the mountains.
Gen. Rosecrans and his staff, Gen. Cox,
Gen. Benham and Gen. Schenck, all alike
live in tents and fare the same as the Pri-
Yates, with the exception, perhaps, that
they are enabled to employ cooks at their
own cost. General RosecrNns eats from
tin plates, drinks his coffee from tin cup,
and is often without butter or milk. His
HEADQUARTERS are two miles from GuNley
Bridge, on the head waters of the Kama
wba, on New Creek Col. McCook, with
three regiments, occupies u post about four
miles further up; then comes Gen. Benz
hams brigade, about two miles distant,
while Gen. Schenck's brigade occupies the
farthest outpost, or ten miles up New
Creek from Gauley. Gen. Cox makes his
headquarters in the same camp with Gen.
Rosecrans.
There is much sickness in the army OF
Gen. Rosecrans, but it is the unavoidable
sequence of the exhaustiug service the
troops have endured. The climate is sick
ly, especially for those not habituated to
it, and compelled to live in camps. Rains
are frequent and severe, nights cold, COM
pared with the temperature of midday,
Comfortable hospitals are seldom to be
had. and such deIicacies as the sick need,
rarely to be obtained. ,, .F
The day DR.. Griswold left headquarters,
Gen. Rosecrans went up the lines with his
staff surgeon tor the special purpose OF
looking after the wants of the sick, and to
provide, if possible, more comfortable hos
uitals for them. The labors of the sur
qeons are arduous, aud often the expedi-
ents adopted by them for the comfort Of
those in their charge exhibit the most faith
full devotion to their duties. Considering
the numbers in the field, the service they
have endured, and the number ailtng, th'
mortality is really very small. t''.7'

loss of life has yet occurred. From the
mountains across New Creek the picket
fires of the enemy may be seen from head
quarters, aud there is some picket firing
between the advanced pickets of General
schenk's camp and those of the enemy,
from which two or three deaths have oc-
Cured on our side. There seems to be but
little expectation of general engagement.
The want of hospital supplies, such as
bedding and bed clothing to keep the sick
warm, is the chief cause of suffering at
present The Sanitary Commission is busy
in forwarding those supplies from the Of
fee here.
