FORTRESS MONROE. Aug. 20.
The flag OF truce steamer New York left
last evening for City Point with 300 rebel
prisoners from Chester, Pa, in charge OF Maj.
milford.
Brig. Gen. d. F. Onderdonk, with the LIST
New York mounted rifles and two companies
of the Sd and llth Pennsylvania regiments
has just returned to Portsmouth, Va, from
long raid into North Carolina. They passed
through Edenton and opened communication
with Capt. II. Roberts, in command at South
Mills. From thence they proceeded to Pas
quataok aud Hartford. While about half way
between the two places they were attacked by
guerrllas and in the skirmish lost two men.
They killed thirty guerrillas and drove several
into the dismal swamp, who were drowned.
The raid was very successful.
Two refugees arrived in Norfolk to-day from
Richmond. who were born in Canada. They
report that the rebel government is terribly
frightened about Charleston and say il it is
taken all is lost. A guard is kept about the
residence Of JEFF. Davis night and day to pre-
vent him from running away from Richmond.

Lawrence Destroyed by ouerrillas.

LEAVENWORrH, Aug. Il.
About 6 o'clock last evening the rebel guer-
rila chief Quantrell, with force of 500 strong,
crossed the Missouri river into Kansas near the
town of Gardiner, go miles below here, and i'm
mediately started Tor Lawrence, arriving be-
fore that town at 4 o'clock this morning
Quantrell posted guard around the town
so that the inhabitants could not escape. and
with the remainder of his men commenced
piilaging stores, shooting citizens and firing
houses. gentleman who managed to escape
and secreted himself in corniield near the
town, reports that he swan the river at eight
O'Clock, and on reaching the bluffs this side
had plain view of the town, which was then
a sheet of flames. From what he saw he tn nks
the loss reached two millions, and by this time
perhaps much 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 sur
prise, the first alarm being the cracking OF
the flames and the yells of the rebel incendi-
aries. Jas. ii. Low was in the city and it is
feared he has fallen into the hands OF the reb-
els, as escape through their lines was almost
impossible. A large number of Union troops
have been sent in pursuit Of the guerrllas but
with what success is not known. Mayor An
thony of this city has issued proclamation
stating that the people of Leavenworth need
not apprehend any trouble, but requesting every
able-bodied citizen to provide himself with the
best arms he can and hold himselfin readiness
to aid our friends in any part of the State at a
moments notice. He censures the General
commanding this department, who, he says,
with 5000 troops under his command has al
lowed few hundred guerrllas to get fifty
miles into the interior and burn a city and de-
stroy millions worth OF property, and he init
mates that the citizens must depend on them
selves for the defence of the city and State

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81.
Governor Pierpont is here, making arrange
ments for putting the government of the State
of Virginia into operation. The seat is to be
at Alexandria. With this view, the first leg
slature will be convened in an extra session,

Of the State of Virginia. The sum of 100.-
600 dollars was left to the credit of the re-
manning portions of the old dominion.
The new term Of Gov. Pierpont will com
mence on Tuesday next, the election having
taken place on the 2Sth OF last May in three
parts of Eastern Virginia, free from rebel con-
troll. Thus there are three governors in what
was formerly known as one State, including
the rebel functionary at Richmond.

following:
Charleston 20M.-The cnemy's operations
during the last twenty-four hours have been
mostly confined TO steady and continuous
bombardmcnt of Fort Sumter from their Par
rot guns on Morris Island. Their fire begins
to tell on Fort SUMTER which replies only at
long intervals. The defence OF the harbor
does not depend mainly on Fort Sumter.
Even il that fortress should be battered down,
the harbor may still be held.
Gov. Benham has issued q proclamation
nrging the removal of all non-combatants
from Charleston as soon as possible.
The 200 Parrot guns opened on the enemy
are too much for the walls Of Sumter, and the
fort only replies at intervals.
1t has been determined to defend the city
street by street, and house by house, as long
as a foot of earth is left
