the missing. How many we had killed and
wounded is not known. The enemy left three
dead. A number of citizeus living in King
Georges Court House, and who had applied
to the guards to protect their property, were
known to be among the attacking party
They doubtless gave the information which
led to the attack.
The following order was issued by General
Burnside:
All others who may be guilty of such gross
neglect of duty will thus be promptly dealt
with without reference to rank.

Camp near Falmouth Nd, Dec. 2.
General Order No. 190.- Capt. George
Johnston, of the Sd Pennsylvania cavalry,
while in charge of cavalry picket on the 2Sth
of November, having by his negligence con-
tinued after repeated warnings from his COM
manding officers, permitted his party to be sur
prised by the enemy, and himself and a num-
Der of his officers and men to be captured, is,
subject to the approval of the President of the
U. s., dismissed from the service for disgrace
ful and unofiicerlke conduct. The command
ing general hopes and believes that lack of
discipline in the regiment and brigade to which
this officer belonged. did not warrant him in
SO gross neglect of duty.
BY command of Maj. Gen. Burnside.

Mysterious Disappearance.

Samuel III. Wheeler, a sergeant in the 9th
Maine Regiment, arrived in this city from
Eastport on the 5th day of September on his
way TO Augusta.
He enlisted early in the war in the 9th and
became much attached to soldiers life. He
had passed a satisfactory examination before
military commission, and he had prepared
himself with strong letters of recommenda-
tion to the Governor for commission. He
parted with friend and relative at the West
ern Exchange Hotel in apparent good health
and spirits, intending to proceed by the first
train to Augusta and from that time his
friends have no knowledge of him. 1t has
been ascertained that he neither made his ap-
pearance at Augusta nor Joined his regiment.
Sergt Wheeler is of medium height, slight
figure and somewhat pale and sallow complex
ion, with brown hair, gray or light blue eyes.
Aged about 20. Any information with regard
to him left at the Portland Savings Bank
would be gratefully received.
Other papers giving circulation to this no.
tice would render a service to the cause of hu-
manity.

FORTRESS MONROE, Dec. .
To Major General Hdlieck:
An expedition sent out from Suffolk, yester-
day, by Maj. Gen. Peck, captured to-day the
celebrated Pittsburg Battery, which was taken
from our army, and drove the rebels across the
Black Water River at Franklin. We have
taken 10000 prisoners and are picking up more

wounded Our loss is triflng.
JOHN A. DIX, Maj. Gen.

that the number is only 300, if it is more than
thirty.

Looking at our movement and persistent pursuit
OF jackson when We knew beyond q pcradvenure
that his force more than twice outnumbered Our
own, is there in all history snd to say the least in
the experience of this war another such example OF
superior geueralship and successful daring
We supposed for some time that Mcdowell was
cooperating with us, or at least Banks would sd-
vance snd e.eniorce our weaIied army. The only
movement MADE was the sendug of Shields with a
miserable little corporals guard of two thousand
FIVE hundred men, called flying column" Thin,
Of a flying column with two and half miles Of
wagons trailing behind them. The morning after
the battle We moved cautiously over ground totally
strange to us, so perfectly adapted TO the enemy for
defense.
AT sunset and during the night the retreat Of the
Rebels took place. They fell on Carroll in the
morning, overwhelming bis handful of men; bayon-
citing the poor fellows to their hearts content, they
followed them TO Luray, and to-day there are not
one hundred soldiers left of CarroI's famous flying
column. The only rcdeening feature in ,his affair
was the SAVING of the trains, they were Withdrawn
in time TO escape Jacksons clutches Tie officer in
change, whose name 1 have 10; obtained, deserves q
higher reward than he is likely to obtain in these
days Of political trigadieTs. CAR0Ns.
