FROM FORTRESS MONROE.
The Attack ON Galveston, Texas.
Indian Depredations.

FORTRESS MONROE, Nov. /.
The steamboat Georgia, from Washington,
arrived this morning with so rebel prisoners
TO be sent up the river Tor exchange
Maj. Gen. Dix arrived here this morning.
The flag of truce boat Metamora returned
at O'Clock this afternoon from Aiken's Land
ing, bringing down IS Union prisoners. Sam'l
S. Brush of the 18th Iowa, and recent pa
rolled Union prisoner, died to-day on the flag
OF truce boat, on the way down the river from
Aiken's Landing.
The Richmond Wing of the 9th, says the
recent demonstration OF the enemy upon the
Charleston d Savannah Railroad, is regarded
rather as foray than as general movement,
but it cost the Yankees dearly.
The Texas papers bring further accounts of
the enemys attack on Galveston on the 4th.-
The town was in no condition 10 make sue
eessfnl defence, but the single gun in Fort
Point kept up spirited engagement with the
federal gunboat till the gun was dismounted.
1t was then spiked, the fort set on fire and
abandoned. Interviews were subsequently
held with the enemy, when four days were al
lowed for the women and children to leave
The inhabitants then commenced to move their
effects. At the end of the four days it is pre-
sumed they tYankees) took possession of the
deserted city.
The Sam Jones tribe of Seminole Indians in
South Florida, were committing all kinds of
depredations on innocent and helpless men,
women and children living near Charlie Pop
ka, a branch of Peas Creek. South Florida
They have murdered four families, and all who
can escape are leaving.
The Wing says, we again urge every farmer
to SOW large crop OF wheat The indications
are that our planters are calculating on large
crop of tobacco next year, and this in the face
of threatened famine.
The Wilmington. n. c., Journal of the 22d,
says, if, as we sincerely trust, the headway Of
the pestilence has been checked, we can sur
vey the ground and arrive at some calculation
as to the extent Of the calamity. The number
of cases is estimated at about 1900, and the
number of deaths about 400.
The Richmond Despatch of the 29th says
no movement of importance was on the taps
with Gen. Lees army on Monday last. The
Yankees are in force at Bulltown.

pickets at half past eight and drove them in
and attacked their main body Of about 200
strong, killing and wouding many and captur-
ing u prisoners, amongst whom is a captain,
who informed me that Col. Donly was in COM
mand. We also captured a number of horses,
shot guns, rifles, &c. Our loss was one killed
and one wounded. This party was organized
by Rucker and Hughes who sign themselves
Majors in the confederate army. They scat
tered in every direction through the noun
tains. A large portion of them are returning
in the same direction they came. They were
so completely surprised that they never tried
to collect again. The largest trail | could find,
which we followed for ten miles. resulted in the
dispersion of the enemy in every direction.

Rebel Movements near Snicker-
willie Gap.
ATTACK ON GEN. BAYARD'S FORCES.
Peace Propositions to come from Rich
mond.
NEW York. Nov. 2.


A special dispatch from Washington states
that dispatch from Gen. Sigel, dated Fairfax,
says the rebels are making demonstrations
towards Manassas, and had run off a train
near Bull Run Bridge. A force has been sent
to restore the>train.
Gen. Bayard's force was attacked at 4 clock
to-day at Aldie, and is now encamped two
miles east from that place.
The Herald has dispatch from Wheatland,
Va, which states that a cavalry reconnaissance
was made on Friday to within three miles OF
Winchester. The rebels have strong force
between Smokers Gap and Philmonton. A
large rebel force is also in the Shenandoah
valley just beyond the Gap.
Canonading has been heard and shells seen
exploding in the direction of Gen. Bayard,
and it is supposed that his cavalry are engaged
with Stuart's. The latter passed through
Smokers Gap to this side of the mountain the
day previous, with several thousand cavalry
and four pieces of artillery.
Pleasanton's cavalry has been very busy
securing the country in the extreme front TO
within mile of the Gap, where a few shots
were exchanged. The rebels were also driven
from Union towards Snickerville.
The rebels are in force in the vicinity of
Perryville, and appear determined to hold
Snickerville Gap with cavalry, infantry and
artillery, while their army operates in the val
ley.
A Philmont dispatch states that balloon
reconnaissance discovered the rebel cavalry
with battery this side of Charestown com.
manding the turnpike.
A Frederick dispatch states that the seces-
sionists there say a rebel force form Western
Virginia has joined Gen. Lee, and been added
to Jackson's division.
After the next general engagement, peace
propositions will come from Richmond.

the Court this morning. The library and an
te-rooms have been greatly enlarged by clos
ing the entrance to the middle tower door,

thus giving much more perfect ventilation to
the Court rooms. These rooms contain the
photographs of the Mayors of the city, Judges
OF lhe Court, members of the Cumberland
Bar, and other distinguished characters. This
gallery Of portraits has been beautified by do
nations from Hall l.. Davis, Bailey d Noyes
and Charles A. Gibson, The rooms are car
peted with oil cloth, and present light and
fine appearance. In the Court room some inn
provements have been made by lowering the
desk Of the Judge, and placing chandelier
In the room. The entrance to the Court room
will be through the lower tower door on
Myrtle street, and for members of the Bar by
the entrance on Congress street and thence
down the rear stairs. The alterations have
made the rooms much more comfortable, not
only for the Court, but also for those who have
business TO transact with it.
