STABBTNG AFFRAY OnIhursday even
ing last, a rebel in Ward four named Bank
ston stabbed a companion severely for call
ing him up to go to supper. Howl ye rebel
sympathizers, at the treatment of prisoners
at Point LookonE when one of them will
stab another for telling him to go to sup
per. Was there ever such a thing hap
pened in Southern prison as Union SOL
der stabbing another for telling him his
food was ready? Lucky for Bankston
there was no rope handy, for had there
been his companions would have hung him
to the FIRST post. Me wounded mar, Hep--
bricks, is recovering.

NEW HAMPSHIRE has decided once moro
that the opposition to the present admins
tration is not conducted on proper or pat
riotie principles The opposition candi,
date, who came within few votes of gain
ing the election last year, is this year beaten
by from four to six thousand majority ten
Of the twelve State senators elected are Re-
publican Union; the Republican Union
majority in the House win be eighty strong
and all of the Governors councillors are of
the same side.
New Hampshire led the way last year
as she does now the vote cast there yester-
day shows the advance of public sentiment,
and how, during the last twelve months,
party lines have been altered. The sepa-
ration of the sheep and the goats goes on,
not only in New Hampshire, but in .other
states, as the fall elections will show
As soon as the intelligence of the death
of Col. Dahlgren was known at Fortress
Monroe, Gen Butler ordered an expedition
out from Yorktown with instructions to
capture or destroy the rebel camp at or
near King and Queens Court House. Gen.
Fitzpatrick with a portion of his cavalry
force and Col. Onderdonk with all the
cavalry force of Gen. Wistar's, brigade,
constituted the command. Upon reaching
Plymouth, Gen. Fitzpatrick halted with his
force as a reserve, and sent Col. Onder-
donk's cavalry forward to the encampment
of the rebels, some seven miles further on
Here he fell upon the 9Th and 9th Virginia
Cavalry, with force of citizens, about
twelve hundred in ALL Col. Onderdonk
drove them from their camp, near what is
called Cartoons Store. The camp was de-
stroyed, several of the rebels were killed
and wounded, and some twenty prisoners
were taken. The enemy was also driven
from the court house. A large amount of
rebel property was destroyed. A mill
filled with grain, belonging to the 9th Vir-
ginia cavalry and other buildings containing
grain, were burned In every way the
expedition rebounds to the credit of Col
Onderdonk And as to the inhabitants of
King and Queens Court House, they have
been most severely punished for the murder
of Col Dahlgren The whole command
has returned to Yorktown.
