THE VERY LATEST FROM SECEs
STA, RECEIVED LAST NIGHT.
Messrs. Mason and sIideII.
lFrom tho Richmond Examiner, Oct. 29.l

From tho Richmond Examiner, Oct. 30
By this time our able representatives
abroad, Messrs. Mason and Slidcll, are
pretty we'll on their way over the briny
deep towards the shores of Europe. We
commit no indiscretion in stating that they
have embarked upon q vessel which will
be nbuudantly able to protect them against
most of the Yankee cruisers they may hap
pen to meet, and the chances are conse-
uuently hundred to one that they will
reach their destination with safety. The
malice of our Yankee enemies will thus
be foiled, and the attempt to capture them
fail of success. Great will be the mortiti-
cation of the Yankees when they shall
have learned this result. Our ministers
did not choose to leave at any other port
than one of our own, or under any but the
Confederate Gag,
we anticipate from Mr.. Mason's presence
in England very happy effect upon our
interests in that quarter. Mr.. Mason is in
his points of character very good repre-
sentative of the best qualities of the
English people. He is frank, bold and
straight-forw nrd,-disdaining all conceal
ments or eyasions. His diplomacy will
consist in telling the truth i'll the language
of a gentleman and statesman. AS the
representative of u name linked with th'
earlier ages OF the American Repuoltc, al
ex-senator of the United States for many
years, and the honored servant of the Con
federate Government, he will WELD IN in

An official telegram dated to-day, states
Floyd's force at 1000, and that Benham's
and Schenck's brigades were following
him him on the new road The dispatch
is extremely hopeful of a brilliant victory
and the prospect is cheering.
Another telegram from Cleveland dated
last night, states that the Kanawha boat
had Just passed Maysville, and reported
that Rosecrans had repulsed Floyd, and at
last accounts Benham and Schenck had
got in his rear, and it was thought Floyd's
force would be captured by them.

From Fortress Monroe.

FoRTREss MONROE, Nov. 4, via BALTI-
MORE, 5.-The steamer Belvidere, one of
the expedition, laden with horses and
stores, returned to Old Point on Monday.
She reports that she was separated from
the feet in IL storm, on Friday, and por-
ton of her upper works stove and so
roughly handled, that she was compelled
to return. Twelve of the horses were
killed. She knew of nothing as to the
balance of the feet.
About 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the
steamer Monticello, from the blockadng
fleet off Savannah, arrived, and reported
that she passed the whole fleet moving
along finely on Saturday night, within 80
miles of Bull Bay. The storm had nearly
ab,ted, and the officers have no doubt they
entered Bull Bay early on Sunday morn
ing. and landed within % miles OF Charles
ton. This point of the coast was but
slightly fortified.
A Norfolk paper of Monday says the
destination of the fleet is known to be
Port ROYAL, the entrance of which is 60
miles south of Bulls Bay.
No less than co contrabands came in to
the Fortress on Monday. They report that
many troops have been withdrawn from
Great Bethel, Yorktown, and tue vicinity
of Norfolk, hut do not know where they
have gone. They were packed up in boats
and canoes. One boat had "a in it.
Passengers by the flag of truce say that
no information had been received there
relative to the fleet at 10 o'clock on Mon
day morning.
The Day Book mentions a rumor that
Bcauregard had resigned, and also pub
fishes n dispatch from Richmond, men
tioniug a similar rumor there.

r.h in another column, what is called by
~. outbo. and interested parties, "per-
.onol vindication." 1t refers to certain
charges made by us yesterday morning, in
,.l,,ion to Capt. Craig's contracts with
Oliver Pryor. Mr. Pryor says that by
,b. terms of the first contract, he was
% receive $1,000 per ton for hay for which
he maid only SO. He says that in the sec
and contract there was "slight advance
The "slight advance" was, according to
the admission of the parties, from $1,000
"a Sl2. The extra weight gained by the
r.e of the great sticks of cord wood allu-
ded to by US will almost pay for the work
If balipg the hay. II is not true that
these sticks of wood are of 40 greater
vsigbt than is necessary to hold bales
6rmly in reshipping. There is no necessi-
70 for the use of such saw logs, and no
honest purpose was inteuded to be sub
served by their employment. for we are in
formed that recently IL man in the employ
of Pryor, attempted to separate the sticks
in halves, as he supposed, to save wood,
,rben he was ordered to stop by his en-
clover who knew more about the diff
ference between the price of cord wood
and baled timothy. The "persOnul vindi-
cation" does not attempt to show why this
4.,licht advance" from $1,000 to SIP was
made, and the statement that the sticks
used only averaged 81 pounds, is false,
a. we are prepared to prove. The vindica-
lion acknowledges that the Government
now pays Pryor, by Capt. Craig's contract,
80 cents per bushel, which is great deal
more than Capt. Downing, who supercedes
Craig is willing to pay any good Union
man, much less rank secesstonist.
This personal indicator" must make
better preparation if he expects to success
fully defend himself and his pets. We
believe there has been the worst kind of
neglect in the Quartermaster's department
here, not only in regard to contracts but
in tue purchase of horses, and every days
developments only goes TO strengthen our
cOnyictiGEs. We intend to investigate and
EXPOSE 5fSt whole business SO that no such
Aimsy apologies MS the one under consid-
Grafton will satisfy the public or the Gov
eminent. We are determined to upset the
Augean stables, let the stink offend whom
it may. If the "Vindtcator" had sue
ceeded in making out decent defence,
which he has not, the damning fact still
remains that these contracts are being
filled BY a notorious secessionist. Besides
that, we are informed that Thornton him
self, Craig's agent, if he is not a seces-
sionis, is secession sympathiser. What
we meant to say yesterday and what we
mean to say now, is that the Government
should have nothing to do with such Peo-
pie. If it must be swindled, for Heavens
sake, let its friends have the benefit. The
people will never be satisfied until all
these rebel contractors and agents are
kicked out of Government employ. We
believe the Government has faithful
friend and efficient officer in the person of
Capt. Downing. and we are glad to know
that he is taking steps toward remedying
:he evils We have alluded to.

THE GREAT NAVAL EXPEDITION.
From the Richmond Examiner, Oct. 29.l
The object of the naval expedition just
fitted out by the Yankee Government is of
course IL matter upon which we ca" only
conjecture at present. II the object DO to
secure supply OF cotton, it is pretty GER
tain to fail Ii to effect IL conquest OF any
considerable portion of country, it will
certainly fail. The force is not large
enough to enable the Yankee Government
to hope for any great results. We believe
at all the principal points of the South
our people are tolerably well prepared and
sufficiently on the alert. In the absence OF
definite information, we cannot help think
ing that the expedition is destined Tor
some point on the coast of Sonth Carolina,
There is no State TO which the Yankees
bear so mach malignity rs this, and none
where temporary triumph would afford
them greater qualification. If, however, a
point GU the Gulf he the object, we think
it more likely the essay will be upon Mo-
bile or the coast of Florida, in preference
to an encounter with the thorough de-
fences of New Orleans. Simultaneous with
the landing of this expedition, an advance
by Mcclellan is sufficiently probable
event. We are assured that it is the eX-
pectation of our Generals at Manassas that
this may be looked for ut any time in the
next ten days.
