New YORK, Nov. 10.
An expedition from New Orleans, compris-
ing four small gunboats and a force under
Lieut. Weitzel, had reached Brazos City.
From thence the gunboats went up the Bay
Teche, capturing small rebel steamer, and
chased the mailed rebel steamer Cotton. Sub
sequently they engaged the rebel steamers and
drove them. The river was DISTRACTED, and
but one OF the gunboats passed the obstruc-
tons. mud fort and several rebel batteries
on the shore were also engaged. We had four
men killed and six wounded The rebel force
on shore was about 1000. Lieut.. Weitzel had
not arrived by land, and it was expected that
our forces would be able to remove the OBJ
structions in the Bayou upon his arrival. The
rebel sharpshooters were occupying the banks
The rebels destroyed 1000 hogsheads of sugar.
lot OF molasses, and burned eight cars and
few engines.
The Delta says portion of Gen. Wertzel's
command Is at Tigerville, hall way between
Brashear and the Bodeauxyille. The rebels
had destroyed the bridge across Bayou Bout,
eight miles from Brashear city and Col. Thomas
with the sth Vermont regiment, was engaged
in repairing it. As soon rs Col. Thomas COM
pletes the repairs upon the bridge, the whole
OF his force can be thrown on any point on the
road in few hours. We shall expect TO have
good account from there In a few days.
A letter from Brashear, Of the 9th says 1t.
Buchanan has just returned from another trip
up the Teeche with the Estrella. He had three
men killed by shot. The rebel steamer Cot
ton was there. The rebels had battery on
each bank. but he Succeeded In driving them
of. He thinks the cotton Is casemated as the
shells glanced of. We could plainly see our
shot strike the vessel but she fights bows on.

FROM WASHINGTON.
British Merchants VS.. British Conn

Court of Inquiry on Conduct of General
Mcdowell.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 49,
First Lieut.. Mcintosh, 9th regular cavalry,
has been appointed Colonel Of the Sd Tennes-
see cavalry, and Col. Averill promoted.
Brig. Gen. Gorham, recently ordered to re-
port at st. Louis, will doubtless be assigned to
duty either under Gen. Curtis or Rosecranz.
An Illustration of the shalowness OF the
pretence of British neutrality will be found in
the notes discovered on board the prize schoon-
er Water Witch, which was captured while
attempting to run the blockade. Barclay and
Mcdowell, leading merchants at Kingston,
Jamaica, seem to take it for granted that it is
the duty Of Commodore in the British navy
to give Information and advice to facilitate the
delivery of cargoes of merchandise in the
blockaded ports of the South.
Gen. Mcdowell having some time ago asked
for court of inquiry, Gems. Cadwallader,
Martindale and Vanallen have been detailed
for that purpose, and Gems. Hunter, Garfield
Bunord, Prentiss and Morrill,, with Col. Holt
as Judge Advocate, constitute the military
commission to examine the charges preferred
by Gen. Pope against Gen. Porter. Both
bodies meet this week.
The President has directed the name of
Lieut.. Col. Timothy p. Andrews, Deputy Pay
master General, TO be placed on the list of re-
stored officers, in accordance with the request
of that gentleman
1t is generally understood that Lieut.. Col
Colburn and Capt. Doane, late of Gen. Nc
Clellan's staff, will be released from arrest and
ordered TO duty.

ALLOTMENT MONEY OF THE 18TH REGI-
nEST-we learn that the allotment money of
the 18th Maine Regiment is soon to be paid.
The reason why there has been so much delay
In this matter is that the money was paid to
the Paymaster Of the regiment, who died with
1t In his possession, and it was thought that
government would have to wait for settle
ment of the estate. Upon representations
made by Mayor Thomas to the Acting Pay
master General last Friday, the latter consult
ed with the Secretary of War, who decided
that this allotment money should be paid and
that orders should be Immediately sent to Mr..
Cisco, Sub Treasurer at New York for pay
ment. The 18th therefore are now pretty sure
Of getting their money before thanksgiving.

Government that about 1900 Kentuckians
joined bin; that the people hesitated TO take

DROWNED, Nov. 18th, Fred, son of Cyrus
and Martha Croker, of Machias, aged years.
Fred. was playing near the Canal in the vicin-
ity of Hills Sash Factory with other boys; he
fell and floated to the pond below from which
he was recovered in about fifteen minutes, but

ggSecretary Holt of Kentucky was never
afraid of the word coercion; and he is not
now afraid of the word emancipation. Though
STAKEHOLDER himself and the friend and neigh

I-It appears from recent returns that the
French commercial navy has at present only
100000 tons of shipping, scarcely more than
tenth Of our own or of Great Britain's and
less even than that of Germany, which is
nearly two millions.
gV- Late private letters to Baltimore Sc
cessionists from Richmond, say the people
there are greatly alarmed, experimenting an
attack from the direction of Petersburg and
the Peninsula. They say there is almost an

rYcIt is said that one of the New York
papers is losing $1,000 a week by selling at two
cents per copy. Nearly all of the New York
papers are selling at loss, but such is the
competition and jealousy one of another that
the price cannot be raised without general
movement.
CO The Clarion says that Mr.. Hoxie has
been arrested for setting fire to the barn of Mr..
Dorothy, near thattown, which was burned
last week Mr.. H. was arrested on Wednes-
day, on information of one Julia Lambert,
with whom Mr.. Hoxie had some difficulty, and
on her testimony was bound over. Mrs. Lam

sY-The Charlestown Advertiser directs
attention to the fact that in almost every place
in Massachusetts, where the peoples ticket re-
ceived large vote, they are behindhand in
their quota of volunteers. Boston gave the
ticket 1850 majority, and lacked 800 men to
| fill her quota. In New York State, where the
ticket was most mischievous and most success
full, according to official sources, they now
Pennsylvania the ticket ran ahead, and they
are nearly as far behind as New York with
their quota of volunteers, and they do not hes
itate to mob the drafting officers, as they have
! done on several occasions.

Crane, the Warden of Ward IL at South Boston,
who has made the statement in relation to the
twenty-eight votes in that ward given and
counted for Mr.. Rice, but by mistake record
ed for Mr.. Sleeper, is lifelong democrat, who
was removed from the Custom House soon af-
ter the Inauguration of the present administra-
ton. He testifes that in his opinion the mis-
take scas made by the clerk, and he further
testlfies that all the proceedings in the matter
of inquiry have been fair and above board.
There cannot be doubt, therefore, that Rice
received plurality of the votes cast at the
recent election.

s1- "Bowie knife Potter" sneeringly
speaks the Argus of Hon. John VI. Potter of
Wisconsin-an honored son of our own state.
And why thus sneer at Mr.. Potter? Simply
because he backed down and drove to disgrace
that cowardly bully and braggrat democrat,
Roger A. Pryor, driving him to the wall and
impaiing him there with his own favorite
southern weapon. If Potter had been mere
nck-spittle, to crawl and cringe before slave
holding bullies, and to knuckle to their de-
mands, then he would be styled "the gallant
and patriotic Potter" and lamentations would
be heard 10 democratic circles over his defeat.

LAReE DEposIr OF HoNEY.-A somewhat

LARGE DEPosIr OF HoNEY.-A somewhat
singular discovery was made In a house in st.
Louis. The Argus gives the following &C.
count of the story: "The inmates of one of
our largest uptown mansion houses, a few days
since, were surprised to find a large number
OF bees flying about in two upper rooms. As
the little fellows continued to occupy the places
bee naturalist was sent to investigate. On
entering the rooms he exclaimed: You have
honey somewhere here and proceeded to
search for it. On removing the fireboard he
discovered that one fiue of the chimney was
full Of honey comb, which was hanging down
into the fireplace, aud the honey dropping from
1t; proceeding to the top of the house to sound
the chimney, he found the same; one fue of
the chimney was full, and the bees were indus
triously at work there ALSO These fues of
the chimney had never been used; they were
plastered smooth inside, and we're perfectly
dark, stone having been placed on the top of
each fue. The bees had descended the ad-
joining flues, and found small holes about ten
inches from the top of the chimney, leading
into the closed fues, and through these holes
they made their way in and out. They have,
as Is supposed occupied these place for three
years, having been kept warm In the winter by
the heat of adjoining fues. On removing the
fireboard, the bees, seeing the great light which
had broken In upon them, descended TO the
room and gathered on the windows, until they
were covered TO the thickness of three inches.
1t Is estimated that there are in the two fiues
from 10000 to $1,000 bees, and from 1000 to
5000 pounds Of honey
A similar case occurred In this city year
or two since, In the house Of Mrs. Gen. Win
gate, on High street. which we reported at the
time. In this case AFTER the discovery was
made Of the extraordinary bee hive, the fire
board was again placed in its position. A
month afterwards preparations were made TO
remove the honey, but upon examining the
chimney fue II was discovered that both bees
and honey had taken their departure. Our st.
Louis friends should take warning from this,
and secure the spoils Immediately.
