vessel, and She went down in a few moments
only her smokcstack and shield remaining visible

no notice from the picket boat below, did the
artillery on the shore give him any assistance.
A UNION RAID INTO THE nLACKwArER REGION.
From, the Richmond SsBt'lsi Nyrlm5sr7.
Our latest intelligence from below, says the
Petersburg Express, represents everything rs
quiet there. few days since a force of about
fifty cavalry made raid through Nansemond,
and crossed the Backwater at South Quay,
meeting only few piclScts at that point to resist
them. They went up TO Muriec's depot, the
present terminus of the SGaboard railroad, and
burned all the buildings, including lot of salt
and cotton, owned by private individuals, and
three bales Of cotton cloth for the agent Of Nan
semond county.
Captain Willis, of the 18th Virginia Cavalry,
with two men, kept just before them, and fired
upon them number oftimes, killingand wound
ing several Of them. On their return to Suffolk
they carried Of scvCnty-ivG or eighty fat cattle
belonging to the Government. We believe this
is the second time the enemy have ever set foot
fhn l,F
was only three or four miles from the river.
THE REBEL DEPARTMENT or KENTUCKY.
From TIE Rt,AH.oa7 Dispatch, N0rom6er7.
Private advices from Kentucky state that Gene
raj Lyon is now in command Of the Department
OF Kentucky. The Confederate forces occupy al
that portion Of the state south Of Christian
county to the Mississippi river, except Column
bus and Paducah, at which places there are
strong garrisOus.
The FcdeiaIs have drafted a large number Of
KcntuCkiaus, and they are dCsgrtiug daily and
either coming 20 our army or forming guerilla
parties. Partisan bands are springng up all over
the state TO the great annoyance Of the Federals,
who say that thcy are determined that Kentucky
shall again win for herself the title Of 'the dark
and bloody ground" rather than that she shall
be free to choose for herself.
A REBEL CAPTAIN CHARGED WITH TREASON.
Frou, the Richmond Sentinel Norcmber' Z.
Captain Henry Z. Owen, OF Prince Edward has
been sent up from Pcketts Division, charged
with utteTing reasonable and syditOus language.
We have not learned the specifications Of the
charge, except that II is alleged Captain Owen on
the occasion of man deserving to the enemy, de-
ClarCd he aid not blame the deserer. Captain ven
is an officer Of acknowledged gallantry, and has
been in the army since the breaking out of hos
tiltiCs. 1t is believed if he used the language
attributed to him that he did 1t in u momentary
fit Of disgust, caused by some circumstance the
particulars OF which have not transpired.
THE TWO DoGBERRys.
From the Richmond Dispatch, Nou. I.
Governor Seymour has followed the mpctuous
! Kentucky Bramlette "a small brier) in issuing
his proclamation against military interference a;
| the polls. BTamlctte tells the civil officers of
! Kentucky that they must not permit military
mtCIfCTencc az the polls; that If military officials
present themselves so to interfere, they must be
| arrested; but that if they come with force too
great the sheriiIs holding elections at such places
| So mihtarily beset shall close the polls aud 60
| tlCir ways Governor Seymour docs not speak
of The ntingcncy Of superior force; but tells the
shIrihs they must, in case of military interter-
cucs CNeicisc the "tuil force Of law, and call out
| 'It need be-" "the power Of their Districts"
| These DOgblrry executive CtIicCTs, in their or
| d6rstO the sheriff 10 " comprehend" all military
| persons about the polls, do not comprehend their
| situation, LOr the Circumstances surrounding
them. States and State rights have been long
dead in the hearts of the Northern people,
and are now dead politically; and they, rs Co
yeruOIs of States, have no more life or power
than SO many wax figures OF departed heroes in
p q snow.
They may talk largely they may even threaten
but what can they dO' Nothing. Lincoln is
imperaior. lie may defy them, and does defy
them. lie will send his spies and military OH.
cials just where ho pcascs. They may talk Of
resistance, and they may call for troops; but like
spirits called from the Vastly deep, they will moi
come. Bramettc evidently fears as much when
he advises hi, sherills To secede from the polls
and leave them in the hands OF the military wher
they appear in force.
! Lincoln regards the proilamltions of these
Phuslly Governors very much as the lion did
Don Qu.XUte. Tho Don ordered the cage door
20 be opened and challenged the lion 70 combat
The lion recorded the Cheyalier for moment
and turning himself about, presented his hader
parts 40 ihe door for The contemplation OF the
knight and then laid himself down quietly to
sleep.
