The Annapolis correspondent of one of the
New York papers thus advertises the extent Of
the next Federal feet destined for the South
1t seems as if nothing was wanting to render
the fleet as formidable as is necessary, and with
the addition of the naval vessels now lying at
Fortress Monroe, it is believed that the expedi-
ton, in size and strength, will far surpass the
one sent to Port Royal.
There are now in the harbor fourteen steamers,
one propeller, four ships, three banks, one brig,
eleven schOoners, FIVE floating batteries, besides
two little despatch steam tugs-in all ~forty-one
vessels. These are, perhaps. not half the YES
sells to be employed III the expedition. which
will be largely reinforced at Fortress Monroe,
for, unless the floating batteries are counted,
none of the naval vessels have come to Anuapo-
lis. All of the transports, large and small, are,
however, armed, and carry large supplies Of
shell and ball for use i'll the field as well as on
hoard shin.

The attention Of a British journal-ReynOlds'

the Boosting of the Yankee press over the acces-
sion ola few sprigs of European nobility to their
service, and by the hunky reception given them
by Lincoln and bis undersrappers, it rebukes
the Presidential snob in the following caustic
style,
The appointment to high and responsible COM
mand of inexperienced and incapable aristocrats
was the bane, and nearly blasted the fame Of the
British army. If president Lincoln was a man
of spirit and Of prudence, he. would avoid stun
bling into a similar pitfall. But nature seems to
have intended him for a court lackey rather than
for the President Of a Republic. At least we az
rive at this conclusion after reading the names OF
certain foreign officers to whom he has granted
commissions and commands. The nomination oil
the Orleans prinees-mefe sGhOOlboys-to the
staff of Gen. Mcclellan is one of those fragrant
absurdities attached to the sweet uses Of 10Y
atty" which we should have imagined republi-
cans would Tspudiate. Then, again, an UNI
known prince, belonging to some obscure Ger
man principally, applied for and obtained the
command of a cavalry corps.
Il being subsequently discovered that his high
ness could not speak one word of English, a few
tri6ihg difficulties have yet to be overcome be-
fore he assumes the commend Of the regiment
honored byhaving such a distinguished warrior
as its colonel, But the appointment of our old
friend, the drunken and idiOtic member from
North Durham, Lord Adolphus Vune Tempest,
TO a commandin the American army, is certainly
the queerest act of folly and stupidity yet peTpe.

MAJOR G. W. CLARKE: We engaged Opoth-
leyholo to-day at u NJ. HIS force was very large.
[ attacked him with three columns, and our men
made a most gallant charge over rough and rug
ged hills. The fight lasted until 4 o'clock. We
drove the enemy in every direction, back upon
his camp which we took and destroyed. We
have killed a great number, probably over two
hundred. We captured over a hundred prison
ers, a number Of negroes, about twenty wagons.
probably more, and some two or three hundred
horses. We have won q great victory over our
dusky foes, broke him up and sent him into Kan
sas, with the remnant of his men. We have
eleven or twelve killed, and about twenty
wounded. One officer, Lieutenant Fitzhue, was
killed, and Major Chiffon wounded, not danger

CRIMINAL COURT.-The Criminal Court adj

the second Monday in October. The term, though one Of

cepting perhaps defendants, who might not be expected
to be pleased Great good order prevailed Oh the part
Of all in the presence Of the court, indicating a just rs-
gard for the law and its administration. The labors Of
the deputy clerk, MI. A. J. Wheeles, for the tenn, were
discharged by him in a manner al once faithful. prompt.

Lincoln gunboat went ashore near Hilton Head
on Saturday evening last, and when the Ida left
the fort yesterday, she was still ashore, and 3
Federal steamer was trying TO get her off. 1t is

ing, and we were unable to obtain certain infoT-
nation from any source. Our impression is that
there was no serious fighting between the Yam
