From Fort Monroe.

Fort MONROE, Nov. 1.-The second mate
and seven Of the sailors from the burned snip
Alleghanian arrived here to-day from \ ork-
town, under arrest. The crew numbered
twenty men. These eight men were picked
up by the gunboat Monticello, and taken to
Yorktown. All the rest of the crew are mss
ing. Nothing definite has been learned rela-
tive to the destruction of this ship, but the
investigations which will probably be made,
and the examination of these men, will no
doubt throw the crime upon the night parties.
The Richmond Examiner of Oct. 80 con-
tains the following:
''CHARLEsToN, Oct Buildings reached
here this evening of the capture in Bulls
Bay of the steamship Anglia laden with val
liable army stores and bound to this city.
When the Anglie left Nassau news had been
received that the Yankees were working night
and day on iron clads with view of attack
ing Charleston soon.
''Day before yesterday Yankee gunboat
came up the York river as far as West Point,
making no stay, but gave notice that they in
tended to send up large vessel to blockade
the river and stop the rebel trade in oysters.
They also say that the people on the Kappa
hammock river have not yet tasted the horrors
of war, and they intend to pay them a visit
shortly.
Friction matches sold in Richmond Oct.
Goth, at l,50 per gross.
The Examiner says: 'We have been wait
ed upon by several of the surgeons who came
up from Aiken's landing on Tuesday in charge
of the wounded paroled prisoners, and from
their statements of the neglect and treatment
at that point, it would seem that the suffer-
ings of the confederate prisoners only com"
mence when released from Yankee thraldom.
Their custody and care is transferred to those
from whom they have a right to expect hui
name and better treatment. In the name of
God, we hope to hear of no more such treat
ment."
A man in Richmond had been sentenced to
wear a barrel shirt through the city, and then
sent to hard labor on the fort for six months,
for smuggling liquor into the city. The EX
aminer says ''The wagon train of supplies
brought out from Kentucky by Gen. Kirby
Smith, was forty miles long and brings mil
lion yards of Kentucky Jeans, with large
amount of clothing, boots and shoes, and two
hundred wagon loads of bacon, six thousand
barrels of pork, fifteen thousand mules and
horses, eight thousand beeves, and large lot
of hogs.
The Raleigh Express says :-"There are
many considerations which make it necessary
that the government should take prompt and
energetic measures to hold against the enemy
the eastern portion of North Carolina. The
people of this section are already alarmed at
the prospect of being oyer"run by the enemy,
and are said to dstrust the intention of the
government to hold this country, and TO be
making preparations to remove their property
to safer quarters. The Neuse river is naviga-
BILE at high freshet for boats drawing four or
five feet of water, to Smithfeld, within twenty
miles of Raleigh. 1t would be improper to say
what has already been done to close this and
the Tar river"

roe this afternoon, for Aikens Landing, TAX
ing about thirty rebel prisoners who arrived
