New York, Nov. l6.-Adviccs from New

Upwards of 200 Of the enemy were killed,

The steamer Maurice arrived at noon
yesterday with eighty of the prisoners taken
AT the battle of Labadicryillc. These men
mostly belonged to the Crescent regiment,
raised among the elite o., this city, and SO
soon rs II was announced ON our bulletin
board that they had arrived, hundreds be-
gan to wcnd their way towards the leyee to
see them, and, perhaps, to recognize old
friends, or acquaintances, or relatives
When We reached the steamer, the wharf
was already crowded, and the prisoners
were holding uninterrupted communication
with all they recognized on shore. A bat
talon OF infantry shortly made its appear
ahee ana cleared WIDE apace ON the levCe

ever was done in the most orderly style,
and with the greatest decorum. The pris-

the evening they were transferred 10 another

A STRANGE RCMoR.-A special dispatch
from Cincinnati to the Chicago Times, an
nounccS the following startling fact:
strange rumor has currency here, to
wit: that jeff. Davis and his Cabinet seri-
ously contemplate the emancipation of all
the slaves before the first OF January, to an
ticipatc President Lincolns proclamation
and secure recognition from foreign powers
which is promised when that extraordinary
action is had. 1t is further said that the
slaves thus freed will Immediately be pressed
into the military service as the consideration
for their freedom. The report has consider
able circulation in Kentucky.
1t would be a bright idea on the part Of
jeff Davis and his followers to "ab0iish" the
institution for the protection of which pro
fcsscdly) they went into the war. Have
they become convinced that the Union exist
permanently "half slave and half free :" and
that as slavery has been the pretcxt for the
rebellion that its abolition will remove the
cause of the war and enable the north and
south again to live in peace

Emporium Naval Preparation.

" NNITINNINN. NVN. y.
1t is believed here that an attack upon
Charleston will not be long postponed. The
rebels have been making preparations Tor the
attack for several weeks and if they are to
be believed, will not surrender the city sim
ply because it may be at the mercy OF one of
our iron-cads The inhabitants will be
ordered to leave, and the, town, if necessary
will be consigned to flames rather than Ice
surrendered. SO far as | can learn. both
army and navy desire that the rebels should
take precisely this cousse, feeling that it
would he fit and proper that this trrasonablc
city should be destroyed
The preparations for attack are so per
feet that there can be no doubt whatever
that one or more iron-clads will succeed in
approaching the town, at least within she'll

THE PORE THAT KNEW NOT now TO FoR-
orvE.--It is related of Pope Sextus ", that
he was once fearfully offended 10y one of
those witticisms which so often run their
course among Italians. In Rome there were
two statues near to each other, on which
libellers were accustomed to suspend their
lampoons the one figure being generally,
made to ask the question, and the other to
give the answer. Pasquin, on whom the
lampooncr had put very dirty shirt, j.
asked by Marjorie why he is thus badly
clad. He answers that he cannot help il
for his laundrcss is made a princess. Now
so it happened, in the order of events. tha,
the Pope's sister, who was raised to the high
position of princess, had originally hclC
the more humble position of a washerwo
man. This attack upon his family was nor,
than the Pontiif's pride could endure, anC
he became eager to discover the author 0
the libel and, to secure his object, he Offered
the sum of two thousand pistoles (about 60
$50 English money! to any one who woulr
name the writer. This large offer induce
the writer to make himself known and h.
had tha temerity to present himself bcfor
the offended ruler of the church. and dc
mand the promised boon. The Pope wa
amazed at the mans impudencc, but Urdera,
the amount stipulated to he paid "IoI
see,' said his Holiness. Il keep my word
but | reserve to myself the right to chast-
you for the offcnsc; therefore. as the hes
preventive of any repetition Of these lam
poons, order that both your hands be Gu
