ALIMoNY.-In the divorce case of Shattuck
v. Shattuck, yesterday, in the Supreme Judi
cial Court, Judge Walton, after announcing
his decision on the question of alimony, pro-
ceeded to remark, that in the case he had
doubted seriously about the propriety Of Civ
ing Mrs. Shattuck any alimony at all, or any
sum in lieu of alimony. But, that to enable
her to pay her counsel, and help meet the ex-
penses of the suit, be would allow her the sum
of $500. That his opinion was, that the par
ties had not been SO much at fault as each had
conceived the other TO have been; that with a
little more prudence on her part, and little
more forbearance on his, they might have lived
happy enough together, If the friends had been
peacemakers.

NEW YORK, Nov. 81.
The merchants in this city have made urgent
appeals to Gen. Banks to-day to address them
at Merchants Exchange, but pressing public
duties compelled him orespectfully decline the
honor. Gen. Banks paid visit to Gen. Scott
to-day in company with Gen. Augur and Col.
Howe. The interview is said to have been
OF an highly interesting character. He also
paid visit with his staff to Gen. Mcclellan.
In consequence OF complaints relative to in
sufficient quarters provided for troops arriv-
ing IN this city, as alleged through inattention
ON the part OF officials, visit was paid at 10
O'Clock tonight by Gen. Banks, Gov. Morgan
and Col. Howe to Park Barracks, where
most thorough and searching investigation
was personally made, resulting in completely
reiuting such charges. The quarters were
found ample, well ventilated, clean, their food
excellent, and the men themselves declaring
their wants supplied TO a sufiiciency.

RALEIGH. Nov.

RALEIGH, Nov II.
Gentlemen from Albemarle County say that
there are no Yankee boats on Albemarle
Sound, that they have gone up james river.
This is explicable by either hypothesis that
the enemy are coming on us from Fredericks-
burg or about to be transported TO the Suffolk
line Of advance. 1t indicates work on one side
or the other News from the United States
tells us that the Monitor has steamed down the
Potomac, perhaps to take part in the move
ments
The Enquirer says that Gen. Gustavus w.
Smith is officiating as Secretary Of War, Gen.
Randolph having certainly resigned that posi-
ton.
On Monday morning, as the enemy were
marching on Fredericksburg, orders were
given to destroy all cotton and tobacco in the
town, which was promptly executed. Several
pyramids OF cotton were soon destroyed, and
about one thousand boxes OF tobacco belong
ing to spectators were tumbled into the Rap
pahannock. In the afternoon the enemy ap-
peared on the opposite bank of the river in
greater force and with guns superior to ours.
The enemy are already in Falmouth. Our
loss in the engagement was one killed, three
wounded and IL to Is prisoners.

with about 800 cavalry, was at Warrenton
Junction yesterday.
Some fifty rebel cavalry appeared on the
Bull Run battlefield yesterday.
Hdrper's Ferry, Va, Nou. 20.-Signal rock
cts ascended from the enemy's camp last night
before midnight. Some movement is progress
ing among the rebels. Their pickets are still
in view.
False rumors that Stonewall Jacksons col
umn had crossed the river at Sharpsburg were
circulated here to-day. They probably rose
out of the circumstance that the enemy's
mounted videttes appeared about this point on
the Potomac yesterday.

Bragg arrived at Holly Springs last Saturday

Price were making all possible preparations to
give Grant battle.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 21.
Advices received state that the enemy in the
southwest advanced, 1900 strong, from the
Boston Mountains to Cave Hill, apparently
intending to give battle to our forces under
Gen. Blunt. Learning that the enemy were
at Cave Hill, Gen. Blunt made preparations
to move upon them, but he soon found, as ap-
prised, that the rebels had hurriedly with
drawn, and again retired to the mountains
This is all the intelligence at present received.
Gen. Schoield has received temporary leave
of absence from his command on account of
sickness, and is on his way to st. Louis.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN.
Supreme Judicial Court.

OCT. TERMINATION, j., PRESIDING.
FRDAY-The question of aiimony, in the
divorce case of Shattuck v. Shattuck was de-
cided by the Court, Judge Walton rendering
the following opinion:
"a divorce being decreed to the wife for the
fault of the husband, she is entitled TO dover
in his real estate, to be recovered and assigned
to her the same as il her husband was dead.
She is to retain, as her own. her wearing
apparal, the watch and chain given her by her
husband aud is to have restored to her the
pianoforte purchased for her by her husband,
and now in his possession, to be de livered to
her, at her fathers house in Westbrook.
Instead of alimony, the Court DEGREES the
sum of $500, to be paid by the husband to her ;
and that she recover her costs OF suit IN pros
ecuting her libel, to be taxed as in ordinary
suits at law
The dover In real estate consists of her life
interest in the farm in Westbrook owned 10y
Mr.. Shattuck."
No. 17S. Ezra T. Williams v. Samuel r.
Barbarick.
Writ of Entry upon mortgage for note of
$500. The defence set up usury in the negotia-
tion of the note. Judge Walton decided that
usury was not proved, and ordered judgment
to be entered for demandant as upon mortgage,
for the amount of the note with interest there
on from the time it became payable.
Howard & Strout. j. ODonnell.
Court having finished up all matters brought
before it adjourned sine die.
We but speak the unanimous sentiment Of
the Cumberland Bar, when we say that Judge
Walton has given universal satisfaction in this
his first term in Cumberland County. He has
presided with dignity and ease, has been quick
all who have had occasion to appear before him
while on the bench. We believe he will render
himself one of the most popular of our Supreme
Court Judges.

Reconnaissance towards Charlestown.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 81.
Williamsport letter to the Baltimore
American says that on the 10Th Gen. Saxton
sent reconnaissance from Harper's Ferry to-
ward Charlestown. They encountered 400
rebels near Haltown, and drove them through
Charlestown, sheling them on every oppor-
tunity. Several houses in Charleston were
fired by shells, aud one or two persons killed.
The rebels made slight demonstration on our
outposts near Falling Waters, on the Virginia
side OF the river, but were driven back. Our
men retired nearer town for the night.
The Portland daily press., 1862-11-22
The Railroad between Aquia Creek and
Fredericksburg destroyed by the Rebels.

AQUA CREEK, Nov. 21.
The Construction Corps is doing its best to
have the railroad repaired, but the preliminary
preparation of materials for the repair have
been sadly neglected
The rebels being undsturbed in this quar-
ter after our evacuation of fredericksburg,
improved their opportunity to carry Off all the
telegraph wire, iron rails and railroad chairs
they could get away, as well as TO burn all the
bridges as thoroughly as possible; the conse-
quence is, that much larger supplies of mate
rials have been found requisite here for re-
pairing the railroads disabled by the rebels.

and drove all the rebels over Black Water
river. Bridges are now being constructed
across all creeks between Suffolk and Black
Water, and also across that river by our forces
The rebels were very uncommunicative at
City Point when the Metamora went there
yesterday. None of her officers or crew were
allowed ashore.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th reports
the arrival of l10 aboIitionists, captured at
Smokers Ferry. Its editorial speaks of the
utter hopelessness of the recognition by foreign
powers so long as the war lasts. We will but
arouse ourselves the more and fight the harder.
