From the official report of the proceedings
which occurred between General Stone and
General Mcclellan preceding the battle at
Balls Bluff, it would appear that there was
some misrepresentation on the part of General
Stone as to the precise meaning of the order
sent to him by General Mcclellan. 1t is ev-
ident that the latter officer had no intention
to order General Stone to cross the Potomac;
but it seems that the instructions to keep a
lookout on Leesburg, and to make demon

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The Cabinet ID
in session this morning, and 1t Is understood
that the disaster to the federal forces at
Lexington is the subject of discussion. The
opponents Of General Fremont charge that
no could have prevented the necessity Of
Mulligan's surrender, by sending timely re-
Inducements to Lexington.
Recent adVices received from ST. Louis
by -Fremont's friends, state that he had no
troops to spare, and that it was entirely i'm
possible for him to strengthen Mulligan's
position. The iveliest discussloa of the
state of affairs in Missouri prevail here to-
day in all quarters.
Intercepted letters written by a secession
member of the Legislature of Maryland,
show that the traitor members of that body
had formed an elaborate scheme for the pass
ing of a secession ordinance, and an attempt
to inaugurate an armed rebellion in the
State against the federal government. The
summary measures alone saved the State
from the horrors Of civil war
It is ascertained that Gen. Patterson's
campaign in Virginia cost the govern
ment fully Sl0,O0o,0o0. The sole result
was the capture of some twenty fugitive
slaves, nearly all of whom were returned to
their masters,

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YoRK, Seat 24.-The Herald has All
interesting letter from Fort Monroe, of the
22d, with advices from HatteEas Inlet to the
evening previous, that an expedition had de-
stroyed Fort on Deacon Island.
1t was stated that the rebel force was
about 10 900, and with the exception of
Alabamians and Missourians, all want wool
en- garments and shoes.
A lady who visited Manassas states that
there are 10000 under Beauregard
The woods on the eastern slope of Airing
ton Heights are burning tonight.
The Ocraceke Inlet first was found de-
serted, but the rebels had succeeded pre-
viously In removing ten heavy guns to
Newburu. All the guns, numbering la
35-pounders, and four s-inch navy guns
were destroyed, and the FIRST entirely burst
up. The light house on the island was
also burnt up. Two heavy guns were also
destroyed at Portsmouth, which village
together: withs shat of Ocracoke wereavisited
In both places the Union feeling was found
pretty strong and great complaints were
made of the plundering pFopensities of the
rcbeis. Unfortunately Colonel Hawkins
had not men enough to hold the post thus
uecessitating its destruction.
The Union feeling was quite strong but
smothered IN NeWburn. eesr
Meetings held in Hyde and other cOun-
ties resolved to remain at home on the ap-
proach of our forces, and to furnish all they
could in the way of provisions.
Colonel Hawkins had issued a proclama-
ton, assuring all the loyal citizens protec-
ton and stating that the true object of the
expedition was to give tnem back law,
order, and the Constitution.
About 10, 900 rebels are encsmped about
Beaufort, and Fort Macon had been greatly
strengthened. They are absolutely strong
batteries at Roanoke Island
1t is expected the rebels had landed a
force about 40 miles above Hatteras Inlet,
intended to destroy the house on Cape Hat
teras and drive our forces from the inlet.
Col. Hawkins has sent force to protect
the inlet.

PARTTCULARS OF THE CAPTURE
OETEY TVHTON

HUDsoN, Mo-, Sept. 23.-The following
account of the seige of Lexington IS Turn
ished to the st. Louis Republican by Henry
Bradbum. one OF Col MuIligan's soldiers
who left Lexington on Saturday. The Fort
was surrendered on Friday afternoon. The
men fought for 90 hours without water and
had only three barrels of vinegar to quench
their thirst during all that time. There
were no springs or wells in the camp
ground as has been stated. The supply was
from the river and was cut off after des-
perate fight on Wednesday. The camp
ground consisted of about 10 acres and was
located short distance from the river -
There were breastworks entirely around it,
with the exception of the portion next TO
the river. It was here the hardest fighting
took place. The rebels procured a number
of hemp bales and rolled them In advance
and under their cover, gradually succeeded
in procuring a position in the rear. They
then cut of the supply of water and had
the fort completely surrounded. They
made but few charges upon the breast works
during the entire seige. Their object seemed
to be to surround the fort and cut of the sup
plv of water aud having succeeded in this,
they waited until Col. Mulligan was COM
PEELED to yield to force more terrible than
the $4,000 rebels, who surrounded him
Previous to his surrender he offered to
take position upon level ground and give
General Price the odds of four to one in
fair and open fight, bat no attention was
paid to it-After the surrender, the rebels
mounted the breastworks and seemed mad
with Joy. AS soon as the surrender took
place party took down the Stars and
Stripes and trailed them in the dust. An
immense amount Of gold supposed to be
$3.50, 900 fell into the hands of the rebels. |
It was taken from the banks and buried by
Col. MulIigan on the camp ground some
time ago, but the rebels speedily uneagthed
it. Col. Mulligsn wept like child when
he found himself compelled to surrender.
The morning after the surrender the men
we're all released on parole and terried |
across the river. The officers were retain
ed. The loss of the rebels is not known |
but Is thought to be not less than 1000 |
killed and wounded. Their frst attack
proved more disastrous to them than the
long siege which followed. For day or
two previous 20 the last attack they ware
engaged In burying their dead.
