FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 2O.-The flag of
truce steamer New York, Captain Chisholm,
left last evening for City Point, with 800 rebel
prisoners from Chester, Pa, in charge of Maj.
milford.
Acting Brig. Gen. b. F. Onderdonk, with
the LIST New York mounted rifles, and two
companies of the 18th Pennsylvania cavalry,
has returned to Portsmouth, Va, from long
raid into North Carolina. They passed
through Edenton and opened communication
with Captain Roberts, in command of South
Mills. Thence they proceeded to Pasqua-
tank and Hartford. While about half way
between the two places, they were attacked
by guerrillas, and in the skirmish lost two
men. They killed thirty guerriIlas, drove
several into the Dismal Swamp, who were
drowned, and captured ninety horses, some
cattle, &c. The raid was very successful.
Two refugees arrived in Norfolk, to-day,
who were born in Canada. They report that
the rebel government is terribly frightened
about Charleston, and say if it is taken all is
lost. \ guard is kept about the residence of
JEFF. Davis, night and day, to prevent him
from running away from Richmond. There
were very few troops in or about Richmond,
and only one brigade between there and Pc
tersburg.

QUANTRELL INVADING KANSAS
Lawrence Sacked aud Burnt.

LEAvENwoRTH, Aug. 2I.-About six o'clock
last evening" the rebel guerrilla chief, Oman
trell, with force OF eight hundred strong,
crossed the Missouri river into Kansas, near
the town Of Gardner, sixty miles below here
and Immediately started for Lawrence, arriv-
ing before that town about four o'clock this
morning. Quantrcll posted Il guard around
around the town SO that the citizens could not
escape and with the remainder of his men he
commenced pillaging stores, shooting citizens
and firing houses.
A gentleman, who managed to escape by
sccretng himself III a cOrntield near the
town, reports that he swan the river at eight
O'Clock, and on reaching the bluff this side had
Il plain view Of the town, which was then
sheet OF flames. From what he saw he thinks
the loss had reached two millions, and by this
time perhaps more, as the rebels seemed de-
termined to destroy everything that would
burn.
We cannot learn that any resistance was
made, as the citizens were taken by surprise,
the first alarm being the cracking Of the
flames and the yells of the rebel incendiaries.
James II. Low was in the city, and it is feared
that he has fallen into the hands of the rebels,
as escape through their lines was almost i'm
possible. A large number of Union troops
have been sent in pursuit of the guerillas, but
with what success is not yet known.
Mayor Anthony of this city has issued a
proclamation, stating that the people of Leav-
enworth need not apprehend any trouble, but
requesting every able-bodied citizen to pro-
vide himself with the best arms he can, and
hold himself in readiness to aid our friends IN
any part of the state, at a moments notice.
He censures the general commanding this dis
trict, who, he says, with 5000 troops under his
command has allowed a few hundl ed guerril-
las to get fifty miles into the interior, burn a
city, and destroy $2,O0O,00O worth of proper
ty, and he intimates that the citizens must
depend upon themselves for the defence of
their city and state.
