waste the whole country. Such is the

Headquarters of fthe Army, Nov. 21--

Headquarters of the Army, Nov. 21.-
Yesterday the enemy received a sudden
check in their removal of stores by rail
from Fredericksburg, our artillery hav-
ing opened Upon them, disabling loco
motive and OBTAINING ths train upon the
track near the depot. The rebels how
ever continue to remove flour, grain, to-
bacco, cotton &C., BIZ means Of wagons.
Since our evacuatihg of Fredericks-
burge last spring, the rebels have ship
ed large quantities of grain from the
lower river counties UP to that place,
and thence removed it by rail to Rich
mond.
Last night the enemy built large fires
on the hills beyond Fredericksburg, illu-
minating the whole southern horizon,
evidently designing to deceive us with
regard to their real force, 1t is not be-
litTed they have large body of troops
in this vicinity, and the impression pre-
walls that no opposition will be made to
our occupation of this city.
The storm has swollen the streams
very much, and rendered the roads al
most impossible.

A GOOD ONR.-An amusing little in
cident occurred during the fight at New
tonia, Mo. The fight was a fierce one
while it lasted, and one of the officers be-
came very thirsty. He repaired to a
spring in the forest near by to get a
drought Of cool water, and keeling down,
drank from the fountain itself, without
the aid of cup. AS he arose from the
refreshing draught, he sat himself fair
and square upon lis own heels, which
were armed with tremendous pair of
Mexican spurs. The instant he felt the
prick Of theroweis, he thought the enemy
was uponhim and bayonet entering his
flesh. When some of his men arrived he
was bawling, ooh, l surrender! surren-
der!'' The articles o. war do not admit

The RECEPTION OF MAHoNBf.-The
Democratic Herald, the new tory organ
atDubuque, published on Sunday last has
an extravagant and stiltcd account Of the
ovation to the traitor Mahoney, on the
return from the old Capitol prison. This
account has been copied with great gustoe
by the tory press. The Dubuque Times
gives very different account of the ova-
ton It says that the whole thing was
a miserable failure The crowd was
about equal to what second class mem
ageri would attract the bonires CON
sisted of a few old dry goods boxes !;
and the entire illumination was embraced
iii the Herald and Democrat offices, and
about four whiskey shops. Some pesky
patr'thad spiked the guns and they would
not go off, The only audible demon
stration during the moving Of the pro-
cession were three groans for Mahoney," /"
given with great junction. When the
procession reached Mahoney's house,
Ben M. Samuels essayed to make a
speech, but found himself "too full for
utterance,' as every one knew he would
be who saw him libate at every corner
grocery, where he found tallow dips in
the window. The crowd dispersed.
BeA- When Gen. Sibley was moving from
the Lower Agency to South Bend, re-
Gently, with the condemned Indians, the
rumor was current at New Ulm, Mimi,
that the Indians would not be executed,
and serious attack was made upon them
with clubs and stones by the women and
children of that place One Indian had
his Jaw broken, and several others were
severely injured The women were quite
determined in their attack, and the sol
diers had considerable trouble in repel-
ling their assaults On the savages. The

STRAY UMBRELLA.-We have lost our
umbrella. Some one not probably know
ing, land perhaps not caring whose prop
erty it was, took it from Mr.. Daniels
Hotel in johnson. on Saturday last We
are sorry to lose it.--frst. because it cost
$l.25.-(now it takes whaie year to
earn that amount y second, it had been
our companion through all the stormy
weather of last season, not even DESERVING
us in pleasant weather; third. because we
have not the money with which to buy
another. We feel rather delicate about
describing it. for somebody may have one
just like it, and then we might be made
the victim Of libel suit; and that would
cost good deal SO we won't attempt it.
1t is good umbrella. however. only it
has ONT large hole in it, and sc, eral
smaller ones. The han lie is of bone. in
two pieces mitcred together. Umbrellas,
we know. are public property, and we
have no right to complain.--iudeed we do
not But then, we have curiosity to
know "where the thug went to"

The Latest War News.

We have no stirring news to communi-
cate this week. The most important
moves that have taken place, on the de-
partnle OF Gen. Burnside's expedition for
Fortress Monroe, and the starting of the
land forces of the proposed expedition
down the Mississippi. We shall think
strange if the next week does not chronicle
transactions that VIII show that scme pro-
gress is being made towards cuslire oft
the rebellion. A correspondent of the
Tribune, writing from Tennessee. and
kentucky. shows that the forces under
Buell's command consists of lOl 10 regi-
mcnts of inf ntry. 9 regiments and 9 COM
panies of cavalry. and 10 batteries of ar
tillcry. Of this total force, about rs
600 men are already fully disciplined and
organized. and are in the field. The re-
mainder are still kept in camps of iustruc
ton, or are employed in post duty. The
arms of the cavalry arc defective. but the
infantry and artillery are splendidly
armed. The material of this army is OF
the best description of Western men.
The correspondent saysof them that g the
fighting that is to come will be the
severest on our side performed since the
outbreak of the great irsurrection
t.ese West IN soldiers will make short
but bloody work"
Humphrey NJ ,rshall. the bibulous re-
bel bligader. who for some months past
has been harrying the loyal men of East
ern Kentucky. and was just abou, to leave
his c.mp at Prestonbnrg. Owen Co., on
the west fork of the Big Sandy River. to
take up his victorious march for Frank
fort, the capital of the State, has sudden
ly found a lion in his path. Gen. Brell
spoiled his plans by dispatching Col. Gar
field with superior force against him.
The Col. dividing his command. sent one
column along the road leading to Louisa.
at the junction of the forks of the Sandy.
while the other took the direct road to
Prestonburg. The latter column, consis-
ting of two regiments of cavalry. and
two Of infantry. came up to gainesville.
within seven miles of Marshall's camp on
Monday last and were marching directly
upon it, when Marshall dispatched IA flag
of truce to enquire of COL Garfield if
matters could not be arranged without
fighting" The Col. politely informed
the emissaries that fight or flight we're the
only alternatives. Marshall. who uoes
not appear to have had any stomach for
fighting. immediately notified his men
that they were at liberty to disband, or
surrender, and they therefore set fire to
their wagons. tents, and camp equipage,
and ran in all directions, losing every
thing but their cannon, which they hauled
off. Col Garfield promptly dispatched
his cavalry in pursuit. and expects to
take the guns. with few Of the flying
rebels. Marshall, who. with his West
Point training and Mexican reputation,
was greatly relied upon by the Secession
lists. by his recen. display Of discretion
has inflicted blow upon the reDels which
will more than counterbalance all his
achievements heretofore IN their behalf.
1t is cheering sigu that on this occasion
our forces did not find themselves opposed
to " superior numbers"
