From the Guards.

By letter received on Fridray last,
from our correspondent in the Douglas
Brigade, dated 6" In camp seven miles
from Warsaw Oct, 31st., I'VE learn that
our boys have been making successful
attack upon a secesh camp, taking FIVE
prisoners and number of horses. The
letter says: 1.-THE rebels who were
encamped on Turkey Greek, about nine
miles from Warsaw, learning that our
troops were coming scattered and en-
camped in small squads in different
sections. Lieut. Townsend and Dufoe,
of the Guards, were sent in pursuit of
them. After travelling some ten miles,
the guards came upon camp of the
rebels, routed them, and took five pris-
oners, together with their arms and
horses. One of the prisoners was form
erly County Clerk of Benton County,
and was taken prisoner by Sigel about
FIVE weeks since. He took the oath
and was let loose. When we cap
tured him, he was engaged in recruit
ing for the rebel army. We think of
making him "high private" in our
company.
This was the first powder burned by
our boys, and we think it well spent
considering the amount of game
bagged.
Capt. Norton learning that there was
another camp of the rebels about -
miles from this place, started in pursuit
this morning. The troops are all in the
best of spirits, at our success. Com
pany all well. Yours, M.

News from the Fleet.

In despite of the strenuous efforts of
the rebels to prevent the news reaching
the North, it has leaked through their
lines that the great expedition has eff
fected a successful landing in South
Carolina. The rebel forts at Port
Royal, guarding the entrance to Beau
fort, have been carried by storm, and
Beaufort itself has been taken by our
troops. A Judgment has thus been
made, at most important point. The
harbor is capacious and water deep.
Here our vessels can ride at anchor in
safety, sheltered from the ocean storms.
Here our reinforcements can be landed
to any extent, and operations can be
carried on at leisure. An army moving
to the right or LEFT from Beaufort oan
strike Charleston or Savannah in the
rear and capture them, without having
first to capture the formidable forts
that guard their harbors. The forts
must surrender to the forces which take
the cities. As the rebels will put forth
their utmost power to drive our troops
back on board their ships, it behooves
the Government to pour down rein
forcements i'll such strength as will en-
able Gen. Sherman to drive the tories
before him. A winter campaign can
be carried on in South Carolina most
beautifully. The climate is mild, cot
ton and contrabands are plenty, and
there is no part of Secessia in which
loyal soldiers will serve more cheerful
ly. South Carolina was tory in the
Revolution, and has never been sim
eerely loyal to the American Govern
ment. She is the chief formenter of
this gigantic rebellion, and on her the
heaviest blows of retributive justice
should fall.

Gen. Scott and Gen. Mcclellan.

Lieutenant-G General Scott and Major
General Mcclellan, the retiring and
the new General-in- Chief of the armies
of the United States, had their last
parting at the railroad depot, in the
gray of the morning, as the former was
leaving for New York. Gen. Scott
turned and grasped the hand of his
young successor, and las bystander,
one of Gen. SCOTS aids, informs us)
said most impressively:
81 aoish you personally as I do the
cause Of the country, the most perfect
success. Adieu."
Gen. Mcclellan, affected by the kind
tones and the impressive manner of his
old chief, replied:
Hope e0er to deserve you- good
opinion, and trust no act of ney life
aoiW merit your Interpretation. Good
bye, General"
These were their last words, and
they are worthy of both. Gen. Scott,
with one more hearty grasp of Nc
Clellan's hand, turned and entered the
car which was to carry him to his old
home and long-needed repose, and the
young man returned to the army which
he is henceforth to lead to battle against
the enemies of the nation.

THE BATTLE OF BALLS BLUFF.-
Gen. Mcclellan, in submitting the re-
port of Gen. Stone to the Secretary OF
War, states that he never ordered Gen.
Stone to cross the river, and only d.
rected him to entrench himself on the
virginia side, and to hold his position
at all hazards, when, to his surprise, he
learned that nearly all of Gen. Stones
force had crossed the river. Stone had
been ordered, in a dispatch from No
Clellan, to +" Keep good look out upon
Leesburg," and informed that "per-
haps slight demonstration on his part
would have the effect to move" the
enemy; and these expressions were,
very likely, construed into an instruo-
ton to cross the Potomac.

The New Commander in Kentucky.

Gen. Sherman appears to have dis
appointed the hopes of his friends in
Kentucky, and will be succeeded by
Gen. Buell., late in command of one of
the principaldivisions of the army of the
Potomac. Gen. Don Carlos Buell. is a
native of Ohio and citizen of Indiana.
At the breaking out of the war he was
Assistant Adjutant General in the reg
ular army, standing at the head of the
Captains in that department. He was
appointed Brigadier General of Volun-
teers May II. He was distinguished
and won brevets at Monterey, Cerra
Cordo, Contreras, and Cherubusco-
suffering a severe wound in the latter
engagement. 1t is thought he will be
willing to take the contract for driv-
ing the rebels out of Kentucky on much
easier terms than demanding an army
of 100000 men, as Gen. Thomas re-
ports Gen. Sherman to have done.

CAMP KEY. Nov. 4tb. 1s

CAMP KEY, Nov. 4th, 1861.
Perhaps your readers would like to
know what has become of the Dow
agiac Light Infantry" and what we
are doing. Our Company is situated
at Locust Point, about Eve miles from
Camp McKim, where the Regiment is
situated. But instead of Minnie Rifles,
each man carries IL or IS pounds of
iron in the shape of an old musket.
So much for the name. We have in
our charge two Magazines, as soon as
the powder is removed we will 90 back
to McKim. How long we may stay
in Baltimore is unknown to us, but it
is reported that we are to leave soon.
If we stay here long, we will have to
go into quarters, it will soon be too
cold to sleep in tents. The boys are
generally healthy. Those who are
sick have the best of care. Our Captain
is very watchful over his men, and
takes great pains to see that they are
we'll cared for. Only one of our
Company has died and three have been
discharged. We are all in good spirits
and anxious to show what we can do.
Tho boys are getting tired of drilling
all the time and want to get chance
to put in practice their well learned
lessons of "Load in nine times,'
Ready" Fire." &c.
Some of the boys have undertaken
to show the Marylanders how to raise
turnips and cabbages. They just pull
up the large ones by the roots and
leave the small ones to grow larger,
this is what they call drawing rations
or raising turnips. One day flock of
ducks came a little too near our kitchen,
when suddenly the clubs began to fly
in all directions; and soon the flock of
ducks were safely deposited in the wood
pile, to be dressed after dark, for all
this is done " on the sly"
1t is generally understood that old
Fort McHenry just across the river, is
not SO pleasant place as it might be,
where all hard cases are sent for safe
keeDinp. 7 like soldiers life very well
so far and shall as long as the fun lasts.
But l imagine the time will turn when
we have to roll out cold winter nights
to stand guard, but we are all ready
to do our duty, let it be what it will.
/ will try to keep you posted on the
movements of the Michigan Sixth.
Yours with respect, G. j.

At the late election in Detroit the
Union ticket was badly beaten, the
Democrats elected their Mayor, and
nearly the entire city ticket. The Id
vertiser says "that two of the promi.
nsnt causes of the defeat were the Five
Gallon law and the Sunday law. There
were other causes, however, which
contributed to that result. One OF
these was the fact that in uniting in a
movement which promised to secure to
the ticket nominated, comparatively
few democratic voters, it disgusted a
large portion of the Republican party.
They were dissatisfied that Republi.
can ticket was not nominated after the
Democracy refused to unite with them
upon the Peoples ticket. They be.
lieve, too,-perhaps erroneously,-that
the Union ticket which was nominated.
was all cut and dried by a few demo-
orats, and that the good and true Re.
publicans who were placed upon it
were nominated only to render the sue.
cess of the Democracy more certain. /"
Of the course of the Democrats who
went into the movement the Aduer-
tiser says:
We have before expressed our belief,
that some of the Democrats who went
into the movement acted in good faith.
Such we are sure was the case, with.
out qualification, of Col. Dibble, Geo.
S. Frost, James NJ. Welch, Anthony
Dudgeon, E. V. Cicott, T. S. Black
mar, G. V. N. Lathrop, G. 1. Walker,
and several others. But the majority
of those who professed to be in favor
of Ignoring party for the time, un-
doubtedly voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket. But we need not pursue
this subject. The Union ticket has
been badly defeated, and the Republi-
can party has been betrayed. Let us
avoid like result hereafter.

GEN. WooL.-The rumor that this
veteran commander, who is now doing
much good service at Fortress Monroe,
has resigned, is happily disproved.
Some color was given to the report by
the fact that Gov. Morgan and Senator
Harris of New York telegraphed him
to withhold his resignation, and it may
be, therefore, that the present denial is
but temporary. The correspondent of
The Philadelphia Press, usually well in
formed, says the report is gratuitous
and idle; :" and that all Gen. Woops
demands upon the Administration have
been met promptly and with willing
ness.

The Court of Inquiry in Col. Miles, Case

The Court of Inquiry in Col. Miles, Case.
The Court of Inquiry in the case OF
Col. Miles has made its report. About
fifty-eight witnesses were examined,
and their evidence presents the most
extraordinary conflict of testimony.
Twenty-eight swear positively they
saw Col. Miles on the day of the battle
of Bull Run, and that he was drunk.
About twenty swear just as positively
they saw him within the hours alleged
and he was not drunk. After weigh
ing the testimony, the Court gave the
following decision
Flrst-7Hat COL u B. Richardson
aoas justified IN applying the. term
drunkenness to Col. ID. s. Miles, condi-
ton about Z o'clock, p H., on the 21st
Of July last.
SecondLThat the evidence is clear
that Col. Miles had been i'll several
days before July 81 last; was ill on
that day; that the Surgeon had pre-
scribed medicines for him on the day
of the battle had prescribed for him
small quantities of brandy. The Court
however, considers his illness as a very
slight extenuation of the guilt attached
to his condition about Z p. NJ, on July
21st last.
Opinioa-The Court is of opinion
that no evidence can now be found
sufficient to convict Col. Miles of drunk
enness before court-martial, and such
court cannot be convened for this trial
without great Inconvenience to the
service, and recommends that no fur
Their proceedings be had.
The proceedings were laid before
the Major General commanding, and
approved to-day.

The Naval Expedition.
FORTRESS MoNR,

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. 9.
The ferry boat Commodore Perry
arrived this morning from the expe-
dition. She lost sight Of the fleet on
Friday off Bulls Bay, the feet bearing
towards Port Royal. The Captain
knows nothing of the reported loss of
the Union and other transports. The
Perry was disabled and couldn't pro-
coed further. The Mayfower was
some distance behind TIE fleet with
signals of distress flying. The Captain
thinks she couldn't have reached her
destination. A flag of truce arrived
to-day, and brings nothing from the
great expedition. The goth Indiana
Regiment will return to Old Point.
Report says that the pilot of rebel
steamer said to one of the hands of the
Federal steamer that Beaufort had
been taken. An arrival from the feet
was hourly expected.
Passengers by the Old Point boat
says the Richmond Enquirer of Friday,
contains dispatches from Charleston,
dated Wednesday, simply announcing
that Federal troops had landed at two
points and were marching inland. 1t
does not say what points. The officers
of the Rebel flag of truce refused to
give any information, but wheelsman
told sailor that Beaufort was in the
possession of the Federals and the
national flag was flying from the Court
House.. The gun-boat at Young Rover
has arrived from Cape Fear, and re-
ports the steamer Governor in distress
and her machinery disabled. The rest
of the fleet is supposed to be safe.
The reporter says have just learned
from the flag of truce, that our troops
stormed and captured two forts at
Beaufort.
