of the 9th inst, announces the arrival OF the
steamer Groesbecx from Vicksburg. The
White river expedition, consisting of the
greater part of Gen. Logan'S old brigade,
regiment OF cavalry and battery Of artillery,
had returned from the portion OF Louisiana
lying adjacent to Washitariver. No organized
force of the chemy could be found The de-
tour was made to the northwest in the direc-
ton Of the village of Eldorado, Ark.
A large number of rebel soldiers came vol
unfairly into our lines and surrendered. A
boat of twenty five of them came upon the
Groesbeck. They report matters in the de-
partment as looking very gloomy. The old
CONSUMPTION laws had proved totally made
quate to raise the required force. Gen Kirby
Smith, commanding in West Mississippi, has
called on all the old men to rally to his assist
ance, promising that their services will not be
needed longer than sixty days, as by that time
the fate of the swest will be decided. The
wreck of the steamer Courier has been burned
by guerrllas to prevent her being raised.

ACCOUNT OF OUR LOSSES.

New York, Sept. ia Morris Island
letter of the 9th, to the Herald, gives an ac-
count of the recent boat expedition against
Sumter. The holila consisted of between
twenty-five and thirty boats, manned by over
one hundred sailors under Lieutenant Com
mander Williams of the Wissahickon, and
one hundred marines under Capt. McCauly,
the entire force commanded by Commander
Stevens of the monitor PatapSco The boats
were towed within short distance of the fort,
to which they advanced Three boats under
Com. Williams, Lieut.. Remey and Ensign
Porter, landed, and the parties attempted to
run mp the ruins to the parapet. They were
fired upon by musketry, and hand grenadeS
were thrown down upon them The slope
was so sharp they were unable to reach the
parapet. signal was given from the fort,
and, instantly, all the rebel batteries opened
on the fort and shelled it terribly.
The three boats were smashed and all who
landed were killed or captured. Among 9TH
ers captured were commander Williams,
LieutS. Remey, Preston, Brown and Buncc,
DR.. Wheeler and ensign Porter. Fifty sail
Ors and marines were killed and wounded, and
the entire list of casualties will number
eighty. The remainder of the command re-
tired in safety. A flag of truce boat states
that our captured officers and men were in

The Heralds letter states that it has been
discovered that the old iron-clad battery at
Cummings Point forms the cover Of the mag
azine OF fort Gregg. 1t affords good cover
to our men, and has already sustained heavy
fire from the rebel batteries without the least
damage. The same correspondent highly eu-
| logizes the Ironsdes, whose broadsideS against
fort Mnultrie he had never seen equaled in
rapidity and effect. She was unlnjured though
struck all of two hundred times.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia private note re-
ceived here to-day from off Charleston, says
that about $50 men composed the recent eX-
petition to fort Sumter, and that only a por-
ton of the force landed, some of the boats
having grounded on the shoals. But for this
there would probably have been a different
result.
