Telegraphic News bY Mail.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-Unfounded state
ments of character prejudicial TO the
public interests, frequently appear among
the telegraphic news of journals published
Mt a distance from the capital. The en-
quiry is often made why the Government
permits such dispatchesito pass over the
wires. 1t is proper, therefore, to say by
request that those statements really go by
mail, and not by telegraph, or are prepared
at the points where they appear.
The case of Col. Hecker, who came hith-
er on business connected with the trouble
in his regiment, now in Kentucky, has left
Washington.
Maj. Kernf, Capt. Mauif and Lient Klo-
ker, representing their own interests aud
those Of the other four officers, who were
discharged through Col. Hecker's iustru-
mentality, are still in Washington. They
have prepared serious charges against
Hecker, and asked that he be court mar
tailed, but no decision has been made.

IT IS A COMMON OBSERVATION that there
are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilized nation. The reason is OBJ
vious. We take too little exercise, and
forget the wants of the body in the absorb
ing pursuits of business. In all such
cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good. What is required is just such a
tonic and iuvigorltOr as DR.. ]. Hostetter
has given to the world, in his CELEBRATED
"BIrTERs.p Tho weak and nervous deui-
zen of the counting house, the exhausted
toilcr upon the sh0p-board, aud the pros
trated student of the midnight lamp, have
found wonderful Regeneration in the
"Bitters,n and prefer it 10 more pretentious,
but less ctficacious medicines. But it
should not be forgotten that the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon

Being informed of large vessel lying

of crossing the Potomac, as was reported
to me, considered it to be my dlty to de-
stroy her. With this object in view,
took two launches and my boat, and pulled
in for the vessel at % O'Clock this morn

Her destruction was complete, and al
though the clothes of the men and the

1t seems that the reign ofterror has but

On the night of the 10th of September
II. D. Gorrell had stack of hay burned,
and on the goth his barn was consumed by
Ere. 1t contained a considerable amount
of oats and farming utensils. Since that
time we have stood guard. One guard
has been shot at, the ball passing through
the breast of his coat. Since that time
various kinds of strange noises heard after
night, such as the blowing Of horns, the
hallooing ofvoices, apparently in answer
the shooting of guns, and tile seeing of nu-
merons men struggling about late at night.
a few nights since, the store of Mr.. Mar
tin, on the N. W. V. r. R., was fred, but

Reported Attack on Billy wilson's


Reported Attack on Billy Wilson's
Zouaves.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 12,-The,, Norfolk Diy
Book, received this morning, contains u
despatch from New Orleans giving an ac-
count of surprise and attack made on
Wilson's Zouaves at Santa Rosa Island.
On the 9th inst detachments from sew
eral Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama
regiments landed in the night, drovein the
piekets and bad fierce battle.
The Zouaves are credited with having
fought with great bravery, and the rebels
admit a loss of 40 killed, and about dou-
BILE tina: number wounded. They claim to
have spiked all the guns of the ZouaTes,
and destroyed all their camp equippnge.-
They claim to have committed great slaugh-
ter among the Zouaves, but gave no num-
bers of killed. They also carried off sever
al prisoners.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 12.-The steamer Lou
siana which arrived at Baltimore this
morning brought nearly one hundred pas
seugcrs, including 60 from Norfolk, per-
mitted to leave by the rebel authorities,
a large proportion of whom were ladies
and children. Before permitted to leave
they were closely searched to prevent con-
ceaiing newspapers. One gentleman who
had placed n Norfolk Day Book IN his
trunk escaped detection. 1t contains the
despatch from New Orleans giving nm ac-
count of desperately fought battle be-
tweed Billy Wilson'S Zounues and thous-
and rebels. Abont two o'clock on the
morning of the Sth. the rebels commanded
by Gen. Anderson crossed the bay aud
landed Mt Santa Rosa, near the Zounve
encampment without discovery, drove in
the pickets, stormed the place, and in less
than an hour destroyed all their fonts,
excepting the hospital, captured large
amount of rations, equipments, stores and
ammunition and spiked all the cannon placed
in the hospital. G
Among the rebel loss are Captain Brad
ford, of Florida, Lieutenant Nernis killed,
and Lieutenants Bigler and Syre badly
wounded.
The rebel force consisted of three com
panies of the Georgia regiment, portion of
the Mobile Continentals, three companies
of regulars, detachments of MississiPpians
and Georgians, two hundred Alabamians,
and n number of Naval officers and seamen,
commanded by Capt. Breat, formerly of
the Federal Navy. Lieutenant James L
Slaughter, while carrying flag of truce for
the cessation of hOstilities, was badly
wounded.
The Richmond Enquirer says the work
of transforming the jamestown railroad
is rapidly progressing.
Passengers from Norfolk and Richmond
give gloomy account of affairs. Tho
poorer classes of citizens are suffering
much and really tired of the war. The
government authorities have purchased
nearly all the coffee in Richmond and
Norfolk for the soldiers.

From Fortress Monroe.

FoRTREss MoSRoE, Oct. IL, via Balti-
more, l2th.-The steamer S. r. Spaulding
returned from Fortress Monroe this morn
ing, bringing further details of the recent
engagement, which differs in but few res
poets from the accounts already telc-
graphed. The Indiana regiment lost their
tents, provisions and many of their KNAPP
sacks. Col. Brown states his loss at about
fifty. None were killed by the FIRE of
the rebels. The inhabitants along the
beach came in with the regiment The
loss of the rebels has been over stated, bnt
it was undoubtedly large.
Brig. Gen. Williams will take passage
for Hatteras in the steamer S. r. Spauld-
ing Tomorrow night.
4 party of New York Zouaves sent out
from Newport News this morning to cut
fuel were attacked probably by a scouting
party Of Confederntes and driven in, with a
loss Of one team. Two Confederate tugs
appeared on the James River at the same
time. EttII.1
The steamer Express went up short
distance on a reconnaissance, but was una
bic to reach the enemy.
The S. r. Spaulding sails to-day with a
large shipment of Qnartermasters and
Commissary stores. Brig. Gen. Hilliar
goes with her, and will assume the chief
command at Hatteras Inlet

Ba-TnR soldiers on guard at The GOv-
crumcut storehouso, corner of Market and
Qaicncy streets, on Friday night compelled
~ who attempted to pass upon the side
walk, to move OF into the muddy street,
and make circuit around their sacred
persons. The night was very dark, and
the streets tlisagreeabIy muddy, and to be
halted aud driven into the mud, is very in
convenient. There is no sense in forcing
people OF the sidewalk. 1t soniy necessary
to COMPEL pedestrians to walk upon the
outside of the sentinel, where there Is gem
orally plenty of room. 1t may not be the
fault of the soldiers, bnt whoever orders

We join in the wish of our correspond

that Lieut.. Colonel Kelly will let no red
tape formula steal between him and the
traitorous misereants who for so long past
have been overriding aud terrifying the
loyal people of Tucker county. There is
no sense in the endless folly of marching
up aud down the hill, like the King of
France, with no apparent purpose other
than rompous parade The men, for in
stance, who have driven old DR.. Parsons
from his home in that county, who robbed

neighbors, we presume, are known to some
of the people in Tucker There is no
reason why these seceshers and rebels
should not be shot on sight. Aud we
shall be much disappointed if Lieut.. Col.
Kelly comes back without having made
some examples that will last that county
for the balance of the war.

eS- TIE HMAss" MEETISG AT TRrADEL-
PurA.-There is no reason why the meet
ing at Triadelphia on Saturday should be
called mass meeting, except that it
was held in the dining room of Mass tav-
ern. All OF the people in attendance could
have heen put in couple of omuibusses.
The city turned out badly, and consequent
Iy, owing TO the meagerness of the gather
ing, no delegates were nominated to the
Convention as was expected.
Auditor Crane, of this city, made a
speech, which We were too late to hear,
but which we understood was mastery
argument ia favor of the new State, and
an eloquent appeal for the cause of the
government.
Prof A. F. Ross was called upon and
made brief speech. He said if this I'M
holy rebellion was not crushed, the institu-
tons under which we have lived and pros
pered, and the cause of free government
all over the world, were lost and ruined
Our forefathers, only three millions strong,
sustained themselves and triumphed over
a nation upon whose power the sun never
sets. Are we SO craven, Ihaye we not the
manhood, twenty-three millions of US,
with all the money of the country, all the
materials of war, aud all the prestige of
government upon our side, to conquersfre
millions, II We cannot, if We do not speed
lily, what does it argue for generation,
to which such priceless leg ICY has been
bequeNlhed.
Prof. Ross announced himself in favor of
the new State. He said the interests and
the tone OF sentiment Of Eastern aud
Western Virginia were so entirely adverse
that they could not live prosperouslY to-
gcther The people Of Western Virginia
want to be aroused. No act would have
such telling effect in bringing the people
to determinations to prosecute this war
vigorously, as a separation from Eastern
Virginia. When that is done, we will
have taken position fronl which there
will be NO backing out. We will have
something to hope for, something TO rally
around, something by which to enthuse
The people.
When Prot. Ross concluded the meeting
adjourned.
