DESTRUCTION OF BLocKADER- -Rrpnlse- of
an Attack on the Steamer Condor.-It is gene
rally known that the large three funneled steamer
Condor, from Halifax, N. s., in entering New Inlet
Bar week ago, was deceived by The wreck of the
Night Hawk, and ran aground. 1t appears that it
was in attempting to come ashore from her in
boat that Mrs. Rose Greenhow drowned. The
Condor has been slowly unloading under the guns
of Fort Fisher, and guard, usual has been kept
on her at night. On last Friday night the Yam
KEGS made an attempt, to board the Condor, to de-
stroy her, but calamity repulsed by Lieut..
Sowles, OF Co. ~, 36th N. G. Troops, and detach-
ment of men. As the attempt made
Lieut. Sowles communicated the fact to Fort Fish
err, when her heavy guns burst forth to right and
left Of the Condor. The second shell fired to the
left of the Condor struck gunboat that had ac-
companied the boat party in, and so completely
ruined her that she was run ashore the South
breaker of the bar and abandoned. The enemy
set fire to her in several places, and before morning
size totally destroyed, her magazine having ex-
ploded and torn her to pieces Since this occur
renee Friday night last, we are informed that
there has been no sign of the enemy off the bar at
night, and the feet is hull down during the day

the enemy for several days; but on Sunday last
VIC had "a fight with their dismountrd cavalry, who
were unknown to US, supported by infantry. AZ
ter hard fight, in which we inflicted severe loss
on the enemy, our forces withdrew in good order;
but our artillery horses being nearly all killed, We
were compelled to leave several pieces in the hands

YELLOW FEVER AT W1LMINGToN.--The
Mayor of Wilmington announces that three cases
of Yellow fever have occurred in that place. Two
or three cases have died The Journal remarks
eve would remark: however, that this already
the 18th day of October-that the disease is not
even approaching to epidemic That the deaths
known to have taken place must have resulted
from cases in which the disease was contracted be-
fore the recent cold change, and that, far we
can learn no cases of disease exist contracted since
that change With the present cool, dry and
bracing weather, the chance of the disease spread
ing or becoming epidemic is almost nothing. of
course every proper preeautiou should be used and
it might be just we'll for those who conven-
iently 90 OF town to 60 out of town, still there
appears to US to be earthly ground for panic or
undue haste While the weather holds as it is,
we look for nothing serious"

FROM THE VALLEY,

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Oct. 15.-Sheridan has
marched. with two corps of his army. to this side of
the mountain, through Thronton and Chester Gaps.
Gen. Early followed and engaged the remaining
corps under Gen. Crook. and drove it through Stras
burg and across Cedar Greek.
LATER. Notwithstanding the positive Federal
statement that the 9th and 9th Yankee corps cross
ed at Thronton and Chester gaps it is altogether
probable that they did not pass through Thorntons,
but north of that gap.

A SOUTH CAROLINA RECoNsTRUCTIoNIsT.-
Of all the States of the Confederacy, we might rea-
sonably have expected to hear of proposition for
reconstruction from any sooner than from South
Carolina Yet a member of Congress from that
State VIM. W. Boyce by name has published a
long letter to President Davis, in which he urges
a Convention Of all the States, North and South,
with view to reconciliation of the sections-a
peace as he says (which reconcilcs the interests
and the feelings of the belligerents; peace in
short, which restores harmony He goes far be-
yond Mr.. Stephens, who proposes Convention in
deed but with distinct understanding that it
should have no right Of final action; and well Indeed
might he require this, for suppose were to go
into Convention, IL Confederate States, or even
II or Is, against "a or 25 Northern States, what
rights could we hope to bring out of such con-
clave? We might we'll submit Internationally,
without going through the farce of slch conven-
ton. Mr. Boyce has not a word to say about linn
iting the powers Of his proposed convention, or
maintaining the independence Of the CoEfederacy
The only inference is that he is ready 10 GO back
into Union with the people who disregarded and
violated all our rights, aud when the South resist
ed the crowring act of aggression at the call of
himself and bis State, murdered and robbed our
people and desQIated our country, with malgn-
ty unparalleled since the dark ages LII Mr.. Boyee
wishes to re-unite with such people, by all means
let President Davis give him passport, and let
him embrace in it any who concur in his views
