A letter, dated at Port Royal, Nov.

flag of truce returned from Savannah,
that Sherman was within forty miles
of that city. ...
1t is stated that the feet recently at
Hampton Roads has sailed with TWEEN

The War in Virginia.

Unusual qpietness has prevailed in
the army in Virginia. But this is
pEsbablY only the calm that prccede.s,
every house in Petersburg lies in easy
reach of our works, and that We also
possess guns which are able, from our
advanced position, to reach the very
heart of the city of Richmond. II
will thus be seen what we can do,
and it may be our province hereafter
to state either what we will do or have
already done toward causing the reb.
els to feel the hardships of war.
The rebels have had number Of
their most experienced sharpshooters
perambulating their lines for some time
past, armed with some captured guns
of ours, for the purpose Of discovering
Gen. Butler in one of his rides along
the lines and at some time shooting
him-knowing this from undoubted
testimony. A few days since General
Lee was seen on the parapet Of Fort
Gilmer from our own Fort Burnham,
Harrison) and could have been treat
ed to the same entertainment which
he has not only sanctioned but actu-
ally is pursuing toward Gen. Butler,
but no such cowardly act would he al.
lowed by Gen. Butler with reference
to Gen. Lee. Will the Richmond pa
pcrs please determine which is the
Beast and which is the Humane
and Christian gentleman Z"
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at the War Department:

Arrival of the Cars at Waverly.

Conductor Cawley's train passed
over the completed portion of the &C.
dar Falls and Minnesota Railroad on
Thursday dec. 1st) and arrived safe.
ly at Waverly at $3.50 in the evening.
The rain was falling in torrents, and
consequently there were no demon
|strations, save small gathering at
the hotel to welcome the railroad men.
Some months since, when the open
ing of the road to Waverly this year
seemed doubtful, the citizens of the
town raised $1,000 by subscription,
which they pledged to the ID. & S. G..
r. r. Co. il the road should be COM
completed to Waverly by the lst of
December. The company made up
it's mind to get that little sum. But it
was nip and tuck. Delays in getting
iron and chairs threatened to make
the Waverly offer safe one for its
people, Then when there was no want
of material the weather opposed the
scheme. Last Monday there were
two miles of track to lay. Night and
day for three days, in rain and mud,
the track men worked, and Wcdnes-
day nights work carried ,hc track in
to the town. On Thursday into Wa
verify the passenger train ran and won
SIS 900 for its owners. We imagine
that some of the good people of Wa.
verify would not have felt very bad il
the train had not reached their town
till after midnight. However, the
money will be paid over with the best
possible grace. The first train from
Waverly promises large business from
that sectional car load of passengers
leaving with it. The trains arrive
at Waverly at $50 p. NJ, and leave
Waverly at 100 A. NJ. This is the
present arrangement.-Dubuque Tines

Missouri.

This unfortunate State is still suffer
ing from guerillas to a fearful degree.
The whole southeastern section of the
State is over-run with rebels, and they
are committing depredations quite Sc
rious to the sufferers. Dick Berry
mans gang has formed a junction
with two or three gangs of bushwhack-
ers driven out of North Missouri, and
the combined gangs are quite strong
enough to contend with the limited
cavalry forces in that section of the
country. They have undisputed pos
session of large tract of country,
and If there is anything left to steal,
they will be sure to find it. Col. Hill
Ter. in command at Cape Girardeau,
has had three companies of the I'd
Missouri Cavalry scouting 10 Stod-
dard and other counties. who have
picked up, which means killed, about
forty guerillas in the last ten days.
This is the style of report received
nowadays from North Missouri
Col. ShamLlin, commanding at Chill
licothe, reports that his men have xii.
led thirty-seven rebels 10 the last ten
days" This too is the sort of news
We may expect to receive for the next
month. The bands Of guerillas who
were lately acting in concert have dis.
appeared, aud the rebels, singly or in
squads Of two or three or more, arc
trying to escape observation. They
are scattered in this way all through
Boone, Howard, Randolph, Charlton,
Carroll, Monroe and other counties,
noted for their secession proclivities.
The loyal men Of North Missouri have
seen the effect Of this practice on form
er occasions. They have tasted the
bitter fruits of allowing rebels to re-
main quiet through the winter on the
proceeds Of spoils captured from Un-
ionists in the summer. and they will
not stand repetition of that experience
hereafter. Accordingly, they are
hunting out everybody who has been
connected with rebel organizations eli.
ther as guerillas or regular confeder-
ate soldiers. and ordering them to quit
the counties they live in. II they do
not leave Oh that request. the next no.
tice to quit is bullet or rope. That
section Of the State is altogether too
hot for traitors just now, and they
are rapidly leaving IL.

The War in Tennessee.

We have an account of an engage
ment between the opposing forces in
Tennessee, the rebels under Hood be.
ing the attacking party. On Wednes'
day afternoon he brought on san
guine fight at Franklin, twenty-four
miles below Nashville, to which place
our force under Geu. Schofield had fal.
len back from Shelbyville and Colum'
bia. The position occupied by our
troops was on the North side of the
Harpeth river. tributary to the Ten
nessee, behind partially completed de-
fences. The loss fell most heavily on
the rebels. our men dealing their blows
from behind shelter, whence the reb'
els vainly sought in numerous terrific
charges to dislodge them. -
Hood in person led his column to
the assault, and Forrest also was on
the field rallying his men. Officers
describe the fight as one of the most
sanguinary of the war, and say the de-
termined bravery Of the Confederates
exceeded any thing before seen. With
in five hours eleven distinct assaults
were made against our works, and
each was failure. In their furious
charges many Of the rebels would
leap our works fighting hand to hand
At length our Generals, rallying their
troops, swung on the rebel flank, and
then on the centre, when our artillery
and musketry moved them down by
thousands. The tide was now turned
Our men, inspired with success, gave
wild huzzas, and swept forward or
the rebel lines like an avalanche, and
hurled the enemy back in the greatest
confusion. a. aa .. .....

1t has been ascertained that most
of the persons engaged in the attempt
to burn the city of New York came from
Canada. Several of the conspirators
we're officers 10 the rebel army and had
served as guerillas in Missouri and
Kentucky. Ten or twelve hotels and
various other buildings were fired.
At each hotel they appeared in the
character Of travellers desiring rooms
for few days. They carried a small
black valise. put a fictitious name on
the hotel books, and carried their own
baggage to their rooms. After firing
the principal hotels and public build
ings, the next step would have been
to fire the shipping. beginning with
hay barges along side ships and stea.
mers. While this was going on, three
of the gang were to attempt the des.
truction of the iron clads then in the
harbor. They had provided them
selves with numerous appliances, and
among other things large quantity
of Greek fire. The failure in nearly
all cases is attributed to want OF
ventilation. a neglect to open the win
dows. Many of the hotel rooms were
badly burned and charred.
Many arrests have been made. and
the work of investigation is still 60
ing on. The money paid by the Rich
mond government for this diabolical
work was in gold and SO mnch as re-
NAMED unexpendcd was found in the
safe of the treasurer of the conspira-
tors who is now under arrest. The
hotel keepers, insurance companies

rest and conviction of the incendiaries
