Examination of the ST. Adams
Raiders shipping Cannon,

TORONTO, G. w, Nov. 26.

TORONTO, y. W., Nov. 26.
The application of the st. Adams raid
ers to the Canadian Government to dis
patch messenger to Richmond to OBJ
tain evidence alleged to be material to
their defence has been rejected 1t is
understood that the Government has
considered the raiders to be undergoing
examination upon charges making them
amenable to the extradition treaty, and
that evidence procured at Richmond,
while it right be very material if the
rebels were before our U. S. Courts, is of
little consequence at this stage of the
proceedings.
1t has transpired that cannon and
war materials have been transported
from Sarnia on a tug boat bound for
Lexington in the State Of Michigan. 1t
is thought probable that the Georgia
took cannon on board when proceeding
in the direction of CollingwooG.

NASHVILLE. Nov. 26

NV. -us
Hoods army, numbering probably
10000 men, has been for several days
concentrating south of Columbia, Tenn.
Our forces in the meantime have evacu-
ated Pulaski, Huntsville and Decatur,
which places are now in the hands of
the rebels. Our forces are near and
about Columbia in Hoods front. They
are commanded by Gen. Thomas.
On the Oath inst, some severe Skin
mishing occurred, resulting in loss to
the federals of A killed and wounded.
The rebel loss is estimated at 264.
Among the killed was one rebel Col.
Large bodies of troops are being mass
ed in Hoods front, and some heavy
fighting may be expected in that direc-
ton in few days.
Communication by telegraph to Co.
lumbia has been interrupted since yes
terday.
There are rumors in circulation that
there was heavy fighting yesterday be-
tween the opposing armies, but no off,
cial advices Of an engagement have yet
been received.
Hoods demonstrations in Tennessee
have thus far been fruitless retrograde
movements, and it is confidently predict
ed by those who are well informed in
army matters, that he will be made to
retreat on this occasion.
Nashville is filled with thieves and
murderers. About twenty deaths by
violence have occurred lately.
1t has been steadily raining here al
day. The river has risen two feet and
is still rising.

FORTRESS MONROE Nov, 26.
The steamer Herman Livingston ar

1853 exchanged prisoners; two were lost
on the passage, and the remainder are
reported to be doing well and improy-

The Savannah Daily News of the Dist

AUGUSTA, Nov. %.
Tire Central train from Davisboro re-
ports that Milledgeville and Gordon
were captured yesterday. The State
House, Governors Mansion and the Pen
itentiary were burned. Gen. Wayne
holds the Oconee bridge. Nothing of
Importance from Macon.
Passengers on the Georgia road report
that the train went to Greensboro to-
day. The enemy appear to have all
gone in the direction of Milledgeville
and Macon, but nothing certain is
known.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of
Monday evening says that passengers
by the Georgia road train last evening,
reported that the Oconee bridge, five
miles above Gordon, was burned at
noon yesterday by a small party of the
enemy's cavalry, who retired, after they
burned the bridge, to their camp on the
north side of the river.
The force of the enemy on the line OF
this road is estimated at $4,000 advanc.
ing slowly and cautiously. The Gov
ernor of South Carolinr has ordered the
reserve militia of that State to assemble
at Hamburger.
Gov. Brown Of Georgia has issued a
proclamation making levy en- masse OF
all citizens between the ages of l6 and
55 to serve for 40 days.
Capt Dacre of the Livingston says
1t was reported before he left that Sher-
man occupied Macon, that there were
$500 Union prisoners at Macon on their
way to Savannah to be exchanged, but
the road being interrupted they could
not be brought through. Otherwise the
exchange was going on well

Wright out with comparatively little in

shows the utter impossibility of its ever
being repaired or run again, and the
fragments, together with couple of
rickety old platform cars labelled Della
ware and Kentucky, which were not
much damaged, are all that can be saved.
These are to be given to Jim Brooks,
who is expected to open political junk
shop where he will sell Know Nothing

the platfarm, and such odds and ends
for the benefit of the few survivors.
Horatio Seymour fingered in very pain

Important Order of Gen. Dix.


Gen. Dix has issued the following
order A nefarious attempt was made
last night to set fire to the principal ho-
this city. If this attempt had succeeded
it would have resulted in a frightful sa-
criice of property and life. The evil
dences of extensive combinations and
other facts disclosed o-day show it to
have been the work of rebel emissaries
and agents. All such persons engaged
in secret acts of hostility can only be
regarded as spies subject to martial law
and to the penalty of death. If they are
detected they will be Immediately
brought before court martial or mill
tary commission, and if convicted they
will be executed without the delay of a

Railroad Obstructer Arrested.
HI HANGS HIMsRLP IN JAIL.

A rough looking individual was ar
rested on Sunday, near Ferrisburgh, for
putting distractions on the track Of the
Rutland and Burlington Railroad. He
was taken to Middlebury yesterday and
lodged in Jail, and there put an end to
his operations, and himself out of the
world, by self-imposed hanging.
He was seen in Middlebury on Satur-
day and exhibited symptoms of insani-
ty. He also appeared to be insane when
lodged in the Middlebury jail. He gave
his name as Francis O'Haran; said he
was from Canada; that he was one of
the st. Adams raiders; that he caused
the railroad accident of Thursday morn
ing between Pittslord and Brandon, and
that he was acting under confederate
authority" Nopapers were found upon
him. 1t is generally believed that he
was crazy.

on st. Adams Point went to examine
some mink traps on the edge of the

fired upon twice, the first bullet cutting
his clothes and the second striking
the limb of a tree close by and lodg-

returned with achievements, when a
reconnaissance resulted in discover

the bullets came from the guns of two
men who were out shooting turkeys
and who hit the wrong game. If this
Is true, the raid resolves itself into

THE PEACE PETITIoN.-Jasper Parker
of Manchester, England, brought it, bnt
Gov. Seymour declined to receive it for
mally, and referred Mr.. Parker to the
president as the proper medium of COM
munication between the people of this
country and other countries and advis-
ed him to wait until after the election.
So Mr.. Parker waited, and last week
wrote Secretary Seward, telling him his
business and asking for an interview
with the president. Secretary Seward
inquired of him if he came with author
ity from the British government, and,
learning that he had no governmental
authority of sanction, and was only the
bearer of an address signed by some
100000 people from all parts of Great
Britain (many of them notorious rebel
sympathizers,) asking the president to
cease hostilities against the South, he
informed Mr.. Parker that the United
States government could not receive
such an address, and that an interview
with the president was declined. This
ends the matter for the present, though
it is probable that the address will be
presented to Congress. And that will
be all 1t will amount to.
